The Rebel (叛逆者)

Every day

when I walk through the courtyard

in our station,

I just feel tight

in here.

Let me tell you,

I feel suffocating.

The longer I stay at this job, the more disappointed I get.

I get it.

You really don't.

We are both from Huangpu,

but you're from the fifth session.

You've been through battles.

You have the qualification to speak.

I'm not like you.

Don't say that.

That's all in the past.

You are now in a higher position than me.

-What more could you ask for? -Don't say that.

You don't have to console me.

That's only because you are not ambitious.

I...

Listen.

Old Chen has been obsessing with finding out the mole,

despite he has no evidence at all.

What do you think he's trying to do?

It's hard to guess what's on Old Chen's mind.

You see,

he kept saying that there's a mole.

Where is the proof?

Personnel investigation is the basic of case investigation, right?

That's right, that's right.

From front-line to the back office, there are hundreds of people in our station.

How exactly is he going to investigate?

I just can't figure it out.

What good can he get from this?

It's all part of the job.

Don't.

You don't have to defend him.

I know you were in the same class together.

However,

exactly because of this,

he can suspect whoever he wants,

but how could he even suspect you?

Who else can he trust?

Sir, table for one?

Yes.

This way, please.

I'll have a pot of Biluochun tea first.

Okay.

Come, come.

Don't drink alone.

I'll drink with you.

Here, here.

Well, when you put it like that,

Old Chen's recent actions

really

got me confused.

I mean,

I have

a cushy position,

yet he assigned Lin Nan Sheng to work for me.

You know Lin has taken a leave of absence

some time ago to visit his mother at home?

I know, I know.

I even gave him some money.

I was thinking that

he just got transferred to the station.

We are working together,

things aren't easy for him too.

But you know what?

I just saw him

working on a mission

with Old Chen.

Old Gu.

So you're actually

feeling uncomfortable too.

I really thought

you didn't care about anything.

We are old friends, I get it.

He's under a lot of pressure.

He wanted to show others that he's doing charitable deeds

through me, I understand that.

I'll just play along with him.

Once he blows off some steam,

he'll feel better.

That's what I thought.

Wait, I've never heard

you say anything bad

about Old Chen before.

You are confiding in me now.

Those... No.

Let's just say that

I've been wanting to have a good chat with you.

We usually meet each other at the station,

and you are the deputy chief.

How can I tell you?

After hearing you say that, come...

No, no.

After hearing you say that, Old Gu,

here's to you.

What? You don't have to.

You see me as a brother.

Deputy Chief Wang, cheers.

Let me, let me.

I can't let you do this.

No, no.

No, Deputy Chief Wang.

No, you sit.

You sit down.

Ms Zhu.

Stalling the time like this

wouldn't make a difference.

How about this?

Let's talk about us.

I've been lying to you.

Every word I said to you

since the beginning

was all a lie.

How could a liar

be so brazen.

Since you know I've been lying to you,

I suppose you know

why I lied to you.

I don't know.

Because you are a Communist.

Mr Lin.

I am just a student of

Shenjiang University.

I don't know why

you keep calling me a Communist.

Fine.

Let's go over

our first meeting then.

Are you trying to show off?

I'm just trying to help you

remember the details

that prove you're a Communist.

Think about it.

Why did I

show up at your university?

In fact,

from the moment you showed up

at Cafe Le Cancoll,

we have been

watching you.

That place

is one of

your secret contact points.

Your mission that day

was to meet with a person.

And the person you were going to meet

is a Communist

that hides among us.

I have been

to many cafes in Shanghai.

Cafe Le Cancoll

is just one of them.

I was there to have a cup of coffee.

According to what you said,

everyone who has been

to Cafe Le Cancoll

should be arrested.

Fine.

I'll continue to refresh your memory.

The person you were meeting with

left a message for you

through a child beggar.

You must have passed

the message to your superior.

After that,

I posed

as a teaching assistant at your university

and got closer to you little by little.

I started to pry into your likes and dislikes.

[I participated in student march with you.]

[Even the injuries I sustained were orchestrated.]

was me

risking my life to save you.

What does that mean?

It only means that

you are a liar,

through and through.

Yes.

I am a liar.

I found

your flower-shaped hairpin

in your house.

I also found that Zhang's Clothing

is one of

your liaison station.

Every time

you put on that hairpin,

your superior would

get in touch with you.

And the owner and workers

at Zhang's Clothing

are one of you,

aren't they?

In order to test me, your superior
