Rookie Agent Rouge (胭脂)

Ends of the fingers, moving across the long dark night

The flames, not knowing when will it be quenched

This separation we have never said our goodbyes

You and me, It’s been a long time since we met

Rookie Agent Rouge

Episode 10

Mr. Zhou.

Chief Qing Mu.

Mr. Zhou, you smoke too?

Miss Manna. How was your rest?

I...didn't really rest.

Are you too tired? Or are you too nervous?

Manna, go open the window.

Let in some fresh air.

The weather is so nice today.

I think Miss Manna is in a good mood.

What is that?

Oh no, oh no!

A hole was burnt in it!

A stamp!

Get me the magnifying glass.

Yes.

Zhou?

Officer of Military Commission General Staff Department

is our spy. Could use him...

Zhou?

Zhou.

Mr. Zhou. Don't tell me the one this is talking about is you?

This is the news I gave Feng Zi Xiong. It's talking about Zhou Han Guang.

He's also an officer at the department.

Originally, I intended to drag him into this.

This person is...?

He died during the Lightning Operation.

What a shame.

What a shame.

Miss Manna, thank you.

You have earned a great merit for us.

You also fulfilled your father's wish.

If there's nothing important, I'll be leaving.

Wait.

Miss Manna. Since it's your father's secret, we should look together.

Iodine solution. Did Mr. Zhou teach you this?

Yes.

Look, it's coming out.

Zhang Xiang. Code name Shrimp.

Division Leader of Army Supplies Department.

Contact point: Jisi Feier Road No.27.

Your father was indeed an intelligence genius. It's a shame he's not around anymore.

This is our great loss.

However, with these contact information and these people,

our intelligence web will be restored very quickly.

I didn't think that I had always been living within this secret.

That's because your parents love you.

They hoped you could have a carefree youth.

But right now, I have lost everything.

I also bear the crime of betraying my country.

No matter where I go, I am a criminal to my people.

No no no, Miss Manna. You cannot say that.

It's too soon to predict the ending.

After Shanghai belongs to us, everything will be different.

Miss Manna. Can you explain?

Explain what?

Don't you think it's a big coincidence?

This stamp caught on fire by itself.

Mr. Qing Mu, you were there too.

At that time, the stamp caught on fire through direct sunlight going through the magnifying glass.

I want to know. Who put that stamp there?

And who was it who put the magnifying glass there?

It just so happened to be that angle too.

Are you interrogating me?

No. I just want to understand the situation.

This is also responsibility towards Mr. Zhou.

You suspect me and Mr. Zhou too?

No no no, Miss Manna. You've misunderstood.

It shouldn't be hard for you to think about what happened then.

Okay! I'll think about it.

It was Mr. Zhou who put the stamp there.

But I was the one who put the magnifying glass there.

I didn't think about the angle, I just put it randomly.

Mr. Qing Mu, please don't waste your time.

No one has the ability to just randomly put the magnifying glass down

and just happen to leave it in a place that leads the sunlight to the stamp!

I was the one who opened the window. I was the one who let in sunlight.

But...it was Mr. Zhou who wanted you to open it.

Is that a problem? You and Mr. Watanabe were there too.

As you say it, it was just a coincidence. -Indeed.

Coincidence. It's too much of a coincidence.

It's such a big coincidence, it's not imaginable.

Mr. Qing Mu. I've already kept my word.

Once Mr. Zhou's injury heals, I'll leave immediately.

Chief, did you ask Man Na?

Yeah, but I came up empty-handed.

Then . . .Chief. Do you suspect Man Na or Mr. Zhou?

There shouldn't be problems with Feng Manna.

Judging from the contents of this stamp, it's not beneficial towards Mr Zhou.

However, Chief, throughout our past investigations,

we've never seen Mr. Zhou in person and there was never any movement.

Zhou Yuhao was looking at the stamp,

Feng Manna put the magnifying glass on the vase.

Was it a coincidence that the angle of the magnifying glass was fixed on the stamp?

We can't certify that.

But Chief, could this simply have been an accident?

If someone could engineer such precise acts,

Then this person is to be feared.

Watanabe. - Yes

We still need to watch this Shadow

very closely.

Yes.

Tell me about your plan.

I intend to draw out Feng Manna again.

After Feng Zi Xiong and his wife were cremated, I took their ashes.

I found a safe place to bury them for future use.

Mother Liu died this time too.

According to my investigations, this Mother Liu

is Feng Manna's nursemaid.

She raised her since childhood, they were very close.

Also, Feng Manna is a filial daughter.

If she knew her three family members' ashes were in our hands,

she wouldn't ignore it.

This plan can be useful.

But someone has to be bait.

Yanzhi fits the bill best.

I've thought about it. But I'm afraid she won't do it.

Yanzhi is the most worried about Manna being within the Japanese camp.

She'll agree to this plan.

Using her family members' ashes? You are being too despicable.

It's a mission. How despicable it is doesn't matter.

I can't do it.

Do you want to watch Feng Manna stay with the Japanese as our enemy,

or want her to turn back early?

You can help her choose.

I know you must have a way.

Tell me when you've thought it over.

You've come? -You're awake?

I don't know what you like to eat, so I just picked some things.

Try this one.

What news is there?

Nothing really. Just war every day.

Let me see.

Mother Liu!

It's in the past.

I caused Mother Liu to die!

I caused her to die!

Don't be sad.

I was the one who put the grenade in the safe.

If not for me, Mother Liu wouldn't have died!

This isn't your fault! Perhaps something else happened?

No. It's my fault! It's my fault!

Mother Liu raised me!

Yet I caused her to die! I caused her to die!

I caused her to die!

Go back! Go back!

Move aside!

The land of the great Japan will not be rude to women.

Apologize to her right now.

Sorry, please forgive us!

Where are you going? I can escort you.

The fallen area of Shanghai.

To let you see

that Shanghai is going to be under the rule of Japanese Imperial Army.

Your father and I had the same wish.

We support peace.

I pity them.

In order to prevent this from happening again,

the only way is to stop the war as soon as possible.

Stop the car! Stop the car!

Stop the car.

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom is going to die.

Give mom a kiss.

Mom!

Mom! Mom!

Mom! Mom!

I want to go back.

Mom, wake up!

Mom!

Dad.

Mom.

I miss you so much.

Where are you? Where are you?

Come back and see me, okay?

I miss you so much.

Where are you?

Manna. Don't be sad anymore.

You are not the only unfortunate one in the war.

I too wish that I can look past this.

But the more I think about it, the more regretful I felt.

I hate myself for not realizing sooner that Yanzhi was so horrible.

She caused my parents to die.

Right now, I only want to get back my parents' ashes.

Then what about afterwards?
