The Last Tycoon Page #4

...to protect Shanghai.

Truly an honorable man, Mr. Cheng.

Let me offer you two a toast.

I thank you on behalf of my superior.

Great!

Thank you.

Dear commanders and guests.

In honor of Mr. Cheng

and Mr. Hong's generous donation...

...of two fighter jets.

Let's welcome General Mao

to accept on behalf of the army.

Come here!

Here!

Look that way.

Everyone says you and your master

are just two criminal tycoons.

But I can see that you two

are completely different people.

That little whore almost killed him,

but he's still head over heels for her.

He's hopeless.

I'm sure Master is just confused.

Daqi.

I'm planning to divorce him.

Why?

Why? If he marries that slut,

how would that make me look?

Let me talk some sense into him.

Don't.

Listen to me.

Be good to Bao.

Do you understand what I mean?

I understand.

The planes have been donated,

and the militia's on the front line.

But if the Japanese were to attack,

we can't hold them back for even three days.

They won't dare to take over

the French Concession.

Nishino is using all kinds of ways

to set up a meeting with me.

I have a bad feeling about this.

We may be criminals, Daqi,

but we must do the right thing...

...at critical moments.

I understand.

There's something I would like to ask.

Are you really getting a divorce?

Which respectable man in

Shanghai doesn't have concubines?

I haven't even married Lanchun yet.

If she wants a divorce,

do you think I'm going to beg her to stay?

I'm already 60 years old.

I don't have much time left.

Can't I just enjoy these last few years?

You think I don't know

what kind of woman Lanchun is?

I've had enough of those fighting days.

Just let me lose my senses for a few years.

I understand.

August 13th, 1937. The Battle of Songhu begins

Run.

Where have you been?

Are you bleeding?

There's no time to explain.

I'll tell you later.

Come over and help me, Zhiqiu.

The Japanese are attacking Shanghai.

We have to leave quickly.

The Japanese's abduction list.

Wait here. I'll go find a car!

Be careful!

Don't go anywhere!

Hello?

Honey, drop whatever you're doing.

Pack up and go to Master's house.

I'll be right there.

I got it.

Stay safe!

Sir, we have to go!

There's no time, Boss!

It'll just be a minute.

Hello?

Hello? Daqi!

Zhiqiu. Where are you?

I'm at the hotel.

Listen!

The Japanese are planning to abduct you.

How do you know?

The Japanese are after you. Be careful!

Who told you?

Don't ask. Just protect yourself, OK?

Hello? Zhiqiu...

Zhiqiu.

Who were you calling?

Did you call Cheng Daqi?

You two know each other, don't you?!

That's right. I do know him.

I don't want you to be associated

with someone like him!

But that's my past.

I can't just abandon it.

Forget it. Just don't ever contact him again.

OK?!

Do you know that the reason...

you haven't met any harm in Shanghai...

...is because of Daqi's protection?

I don't need a thug to protect me!

And I don't want you

to have anything to do with him!

Zhiqiu...Zhiqiu!

Mr. Cheng.

You should leave.

Mr. Cheng.

General Nishino would like to see you.

Zhiqiu!

I'm waiting for you

I'm waiting for you to come to me slowly

Stay with me all night

Don't let me be alone

I'm waiting for you

I'm waiting for you to look at me silently

Tell me your future belongs to me

I want nothing else

All my life

I've only cared for you

I don't care about what they think

I don't care about what they see what they say

All my life

I've been waiting only for you

My love for you is so deep

It means so much to me

I'm waiting for you

I'm waiting for you to embrace me

Tell me I'm the only one in your heart

Love me forever

I'm waiting for you

Mr. Cheng, thank you for saving Zhiqiu.

Have some tea.

To be honest,

If you can use your influence

on fighting the Japanese,

I'm sure people will heed the call.

My master and I...

...have already fulfilled our obligation.

But your donation just

went to lining people's pockets.

The militia is just on a suicide mission.

You still can't see the truth?

The government you trust isn't trustworthy!

You should know that people

like me are clueless about politics.

That's not true.

You know politics very well.

You're just afraid.

You're afraid of losing what you have.

Mr. Cheng, you're a patriot.

I hope we can do something...

...for the nation together someday.

I will not hesitate when that chance comes.

You're late.

Five more minutes, and I would've left.

I have to leave Shanghai.

My superior thinks so, too.

You can fly to Hong Kong, then Chongqing.

But I can only arrange for you to go.

No. It has to be four people!

Hong Shouting is too hooked on opium.

He can't leave.

It'll be me, Bao, Ye Zhiqiu, and her husband.

Daqi.

You donated the plane.

You should know how big it is.

With the pilot, there are only two seats.

I'll let you bring one more.

You decide who to bring on your own.

Tough choice? I'll help you decide.

You take Zhiqiu on the plane.

I'll take care of Bao for you.

What did you say?

You said so yourself, Daqi.

A man must have the guts to love.

You take Zhiqiu on the plane.

I'll get rid of her husband for you.

Leave Bao to me.

It's a win-win situation.

If you wish to leave,

take-off is at 9 pm, sharp.

I hear the Japanese will bomb

Shanghai again the day after tomorrow.

I won't be able to help you then.

Can't sleep, honey?

I'm thinking.

What are you thinking about?

You're still thinking...

...about Mao's offer?

I've been with you everyday since I was 16.

You think I wouldn't know what's on your mind?

I can't stand to see

those people bully my husband.

Let me go with Mao.

Trust me.

I know I can take care of myself.

Daqi,

the first day I saw you,

I told myself:

No matter where I am,

I will always be your woman.

Don't worry.

Someday, I'll make that bastard pay back...

...everything he owes us.

Please take

Mr. and Mrs. Cheng to a safe place.

I understand.

Thank you.

You should go now.

What about you?

Nobody can hold me back if I wish to leave,

but you two will die if you stay.

But you're in a lot of danger!

Mr. Cheng,

it's time to act like a man.

If anything happens to her,

I will never forgive you!

NOW, go!

Very well.

Take care.

Are you sure you have a way to leave, sir?

I can still go to Hong Kong

if I can't make it to Beijing.

Lin.

Come with me.

I want to help you from here.

I understand.

This blade is my lucky charm.

Take it for protection.

Thank you.
