The Age of Shadows Page #2

Ah, that swindler.

What do you mean?

Do you mean this is a counterfeit?

It makes sense. Most can't tell the

difference, except for an expert like me.

Really?

But I took this from

someone I've trusted.

Please wait for a while.

Which one do you think is the real one?

Both look the same.

One of these is 200 years old, and

the other was just made this summer.

I have a ceramic factory in Shanghai,

even a broken night pot can be made

into a 300 year old royal treasure.

What? That's cheating.

When there's a genuine,

there will always be a fake.

This is high demand exceeding supply.

You have great talent

in scraping wealth.

How could I just scrape?

I will need to sweep.

I'm envious.

What do you do? Why envy

a business man like me?

Police Force Captain, Lee Jung-chool.

Aigoo, excuse me for my impoliteness.

Formally greeting you,

I am Kim Woo-jin.

I'm sorry for being too

ignorant to recognize you.

But since you have a position in the police

force, why envy a minor business man like me?

It's just a salaried

job, nothing interesting.

It's way better than a

small paddler like me.

Captain Lee,

I'm wondering if you have connections

with Japanese forces in Shanghai.

Not an issue, after all, I've been

staying in Shanghai for some time.

Is it?

Can I ask for a favour then?

I need to deliver some

goods from Shanghai.

Well, I'm not a resistance army funder like they've

said. I'm actually just a normal business man.

But ever since I've been suspected,

I've failed to ship anything over.

This is a small favour.

How about buying me some liquor?

Captain Lee, do you want

to earn some side income?

That's something good.

How about it?

Let's drink and talk about our cause.

Now?

Is there a problem?

Let's go.

Oh, so this is what happened?

Jang-ok and me, we were

from the same hometown.

So you and Jang-ok have known each

other since the provisional government?

Then you and me do have

some kind of relationship.

But you were the translator

for the provisional government.

Then how have you ended up with

the Japanese police force now?

People are unpredictable.

A man is an animal willing to

die for those who know him well.

The minister asked me to join

him, so I have become who I am now.

In those days, I first

met Jang-ok in Shanghai.

We were like-minded

comrades-in-arms.

When Jang-ok died, I took his toe.

It felt so light.

I only had that thought

in my mind at that time.

I knew it would be like this.

Big brother, you are not someone who

is ruthless. I've known it earlier.

If you had not joined the force,

I think you would be a poet.

Have some drink.

I am drinking.

From now on, I'll call

you my big brother.

Up to you.

Whatever.

Beware of the steps.

It's great today.

Look at you.

Big brother, thanks,

please go home safely.

Walk carefully.

Yeah.

Walk carefully.

Walk slowly, big brother.

Operator,

I am Police Force

Captain Lee Jung-chool.

Please connect me to the main office.

Kim Sa-hee, don't go

to the office tomorrow.

Go to Sampantong, get the

thing I mentioned last time.

This is a very important thing,

you must be extra careful.

Japenese Police force is trailing us tightly. Lee Jung-chool, a Joseon who has been active during the provisional government

time, has approached me as Japanese police force. If our group's been exposed, I will travel with others to Shanghai.

This is Captain Lee's

conversation content.

Sampantong, nine o'clock.

This means if the Heroic Corps

do come to the Gyeongseong,

this is the route they will operate on.

St. Mary School.

Rong Sheng Photo Studio.

Kim Woo-jin, this fellow, I knew it.

This person is a big fish.

Oh, another Heroic Corps

rickshaw member's trail.

It's most important if it's

the same route as Kim Jang-ok.

Why is this opened?

Have you let someone see this?

Kim Sa-hee!

Hashimoto had been waiting

for me outside when I went out.

He says to share intel, so...

Move the car to the main door.

Yes!

You, go to the photo studio.

We have to be fast before

Hashimoto's takes action.

Yes!

St. Mary School

That one,

rickshaw!

Yes!

There is a thing inside, can you

help me carry it to the rickshaw?

Yes.

Just move this?

You're exposed, be careful of Hashimoto.

I told you to catch them alive.

Nun, Japanese police is

waiting outside the main door.

Take care.

You good for nothing.

You couldnt even

catch a woman at St. Mary.

I told you not to tell even your

father or mother about this plan.

With such conduct, are you sure

you're Japanese Royal Police?

Sorry.

Who is this fella?

Me...I am Master Hashimoto's

inte...intelligence agent.

Captain Hashimoto.

Chief Higashi is looking for you.

Why didn't you just scream in the street

that you're the resistance

army secret police?

This is rubbish.

Are you done?

What do you mean?

Let's speak Joseon when

it's just the two of us.

It's so difficult to finally

find them, the fish net is set.

Why wake a sleeping wolf

and let them all run?

What order have we missed in

capturing the resistance army?

If I had known, we should have

captured them before they escaped.

You shouldn't question me.

Perhaps you should find out how

the police information was leaked.

Are you trying to oppose me?

Based on reliable intel, Jung

Chae-san went to Shanghai.

Looks like he is gathering

bomb experts in Shanghai.

It seems the Heroic Corps members

have left Gyeongseong to Shanghai.

The antique shop's Kim Woo-jin has

not been seen since this afternoon.

This is the strategy...

There is no need to explain.

Trace them immediately.

Use all the resources in Shanghai.

The head of Heroic Corps Jung Chae-san

is gathering bomb experts in Shanghai.

The governor house

is the obvious target.

We must prevent the bomb from

arriving to the Gyeongseong.

Make the most of our time.

Hurry up, head to Shanghai.

A huge reward never seen

in life is awaiting you.

Our all will be in Shanghai.

Hashimoto.

Yes!

You stay here, collect

Hashimoto intel from Shanghai.

Report to me in detail.

Not going through Kim Sa-hee,

but directly reporting to you?

Everything regarding Jung

Chae-san, report to me directly.

Yes, sir.

Qingpu District, Shanghai

I'll go.

Woo-jin, how are you?

I have something to discuss with you,

I'll be in Shanghai in a few days.

Hope you can come pick me up.

Lee Jung-chool.

This place is no longer safe.

I hope you'll go to Manchuria to hide.

Now we're fighting

against an invisible enemy.

The situation is very dangerous.

I agree to Gye-soon

comrade's suggestion.

What do you think of Lee

Jung-chool as a person?

Can he be befriended?

He and I are both baits

thrown out by the rodman.

How can we call him a friend?

I heard Kim Jang-ok

mention this person before.

He said he was a good friend.

It's just old stories.

We don't have time or people now.

Let's just bite this bait.

Counter intelligence.

Let's make our enemy's

spy become our shadow.

It's the most dangerous among spies,
