The last band of Nationalist army

will evacuate Shanghai.

Nanjing will be declared

fallen on December 12.

With the taking of the Southern

district and French Concession.

Shanghai is declared fallen.

I can't believe Mao betrayed the nation...

...and turned to the Japanese.

The Japanese promised him...

...the governorship of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

So he shows his true nature...

...and becomes a traitorous dog.

I hear Lin Huai is working for him.

How about Master?

What's happened to him?

Mr. Hong,

we've tried to meet you for a long time.

But you're always avoiding us.

We have no choice

but to pay you a visit in person.

Forget about it. I'm too ill to be mayor.

Find someone else.

Mr. Hong,

we have no wish to make you Shanghai's mayor.

Our ideal choice is still Cheng Daqi.

Besides, we've already chosen someone else.

This kid has guts.

He killed his father...

...for going against the Imperial Army.

We've decided to make him the mayor for now.

Thank you for the honor, Governor Mao.

This is his new girlfriend...

...but I guess

you won't need any introduction.

Hong, do you think you're smart?

You think Ling Husheng can escape

with your assets in tow?

She's been captured by the Imperial Army.

I now have custody of your assets.

General Nishino is here to see...

...how he can renovate

this house into his new home.

Also, he wanted me to tell you that...

...your wife is quite enchanting.

He wants to thank you

on behalf of the Imperial Army.

She's currently in the comfort women quarters.

What are you doing?!

Boss!

Let him go!

Your master's wife

is in the interrogation department.

Zhaimei is there, too.

He thought things had calmed down...

...and returned to intelligence work.

But it was a trap.

Mr. Hong, General Nishino is here to see you.

Hello, Mr. Hong.

I'm sorry.

Ever since the stroke...

...our boss hasn't been well.

Has he really gone crazy?

He gets fevers in the day

and the chills at night.

Not even the doctor knows why.

We should feed him to the dogs.

I say We keep him until Cheng Daqi returns.

Let's g;!

Listen up, Hong.

I don't care if you're really crazy or not.

I'll keep your worthless life around for now.

Since you like being in that bath so much,

you're to stay in it from dawn to dusk.

Every day from now on!

The New Asia Peace Association is honored...

...to announce this year's charity activity.

Renowned artiste Ms. Ye Zhiqiu...

...will perform for

the Shanghai Children's Foundation.

And the organizer

of our charity performance...

...is Shanghai's next mayor, Mr. Cheng Daqi!

He has returned to welcome

the new East Asia Era!

Bravo!

Thank you.

Thank you for the support.

The moment Mr. Cheng returns to Shanghai...

...so does the great weather!

You're too kind, Mr. Nishino!

Cheers!

Long time no see, Governor Mao.

Welcome back.

With me as governor and you as mayor,

we can make a lot of money together.

Cheers!

Cheers!

When do you want to visit Hong Shouting?

I've been busy since my return.

Maybe another time.

You should see his wife, too.

I'd better not.

I don't want to get an earful from her.

They're no longer worth keeping alive, then.

Not necessarily.

That's a matter of perspectives.

One is my Master, and the other is his wife.

I respect them both greatly.

Be sure to arrive early

on the day of the show.

I Will.

Best of luck to you.

Excuse me.

Traitor!

Traitor!

Damn traitor!

Traitor!

Traitor!

Boss.

The Japanese army's detention

centre and arsenal

Speak!

Tell us the truth!

Where are they?!

Where are they?!

Speak now!

Move!

They were screaming like pigs out there.

I hope they didn't disturb your rest,

Mrs. Hong.

I'm used to it already.

I would pay a lot more attention...

...if you're the one screaming.

When are you going to kill me?

I'm only keeping you alive

for Cheng Daqi's sake.

Daqi won't let you off easily...

...when he comes back.

He's already back.

He promised General Nishino

to be Shanghai's mayor.

You know why he let me have Bao?

Because he's back

with his old flame Ye Zhiqiu.

They even agreed to raise funds

for our government...

...with a performance of

Lady General at War.

Zhiqiu, can you promise me something?

What is it?

Fulfill your mother's wish for me.

Thank you for coming. Before we begin...

...I would like to represent

the children of Shanghai...

...and thank the sponsor of this charity show.

Mr. Cheng Daqi!

Bravo!

Bravo!

The show shall begin very soon.

She can stay with you tonight if you'd like.

Lin,

go check on your old boss.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Are you ready?

Alert!

Everybody on alert!

The enemy's here! Hurry!

Here. Hurry!

Free us!

Let us out!

Let us out!

Hurry UP!

Ma'am, it's me, Daqi!

Ma'am!

I'm sorry. I arrived too late.

Ma'am!

Daqi...

...I've been waiting for you.

Take care of yourself...

...be good.

Ma'am!

Ma'am.

Sir,

we should go.

Sir.

Over there!

Where are you going? You're not watching?

Stay with me!

Stay here.

Excuse me.

Over there! Hurry!

Sir, Farewell.

I've never been afraid of death.

But I am afraid of dying in vein.

Remember, I'm Lin Huai.

"Huai" as in "villain"!

Be careful!

Go!

Bravo!

She's really great!

Bravo!

Where's Lin?

I think he's gone to where he wants to be.

Governor Mao,

I have something to tell you.

All of you, leave the room.

Yes, sir.

Governor, I just saw a friend.

She asked me to send her regards.

Who?

My master's wife.

Ling Husheng.

Go to hell!

Go down and help!

Yes, sir!

Get out of the way!

Go, Bao!

Give way!

Don't kill me! I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng!

You b*tch!

I'm sorry! Don't kill me!

Fire, Daqi.

Don't worry about me. Kill the traitor.

Don't move! Fire!

Try it. Do you have the guts? Just try it.

Don't put it down!

You can't kill me. I taught you how to kill.

Kick the gun over.

Kick the gun over!

Bao!

Am...am I still your woman?

You'll always be the love of my life.

L...love...

Bao!

Let's go. Zhiqiu!

Let's g;!

You taught me this!

Cheng Daqi, I order you to surrender!

We'll count to three, and then we'll fire!

Qne!

TWO!

Fatso.

Let's go.

OK, boss.

An accomplished life in grand Shanghai

Despite ups and downs,

I have led a dignified life

Fire!

How many years have you spent by my side?

A fierce fight through

a journey full of obstacles

Bumps on the road

while flowers blossom and wither

Seasons have come and gone

but the curtain call has yet to arrive??

Another difficult year has passed

The peace I so desire has yet to appear

If success is right in front of me

Why are there still promises

I don't dare fulfill?

I have been righteous and loyal all my life

I have seen the most formidable of situations

I have ridden on the roughest seas

Yet, you are the only one that

I will forever remember

impeccable beauty is no match

for practical imperfections

A sumptious feast is no match

for a bowl of noodles

Even water from the well can be sweet
