The Age of Shadows Page #3

Synopsis: Set in the late 1920s, The Age of Shadows follows the cat-and-mouse game that unfolds between a group of resistance fighters trying to bring in explosives from Shanghai to destroy key Japanese facilities in Seoul, and Japanese agents trying to stop them. A talented Korean-born Japanese police officer, who was previously in the independence movement himself, is thrown into a dilemma between the demands of his reality and the instinct to support a greater cause.

but it's the most effective.

This is counter intelligence.

I disagree.

The enemy's target is you, sir.

It's too dangerous.

After all, the characteristic of such people,

is like a person who bends with the wind.

Let's see which side he

will fall to this time.

A double spy will

only have one homeland.

This will surely make a

big space in his heart.

Let's help him open the doors.

After all, the voice inside

the heart is the scariest thing.

If we go together, Kim

Woo-jin will suspect.

You go down from there.

He's here. Smile now.

Okay, stop smiling.

Aigoo, big brother, long time no see.

You must have been really busy. I

can't believe we are meeting here.

As you've instructed,

I've investigated a little.

There is nothing short of such professional

talent among the anarchist in Hungary.

Maybe they've gotten

help from these people.

There are external forces

that want Joseon independent.

Why?

By helping a country build it's

government, one can become rich.

- Go to the Minister's house when you have time.

- What kind of sh*t is this Minister?

There's only money in the eyes of your Minister.

There's nothing he cares for besides money.

Your spy, when can I meet him?

Since the leaked

information at Gyeongseong,

people in the Heroic Corps have become

so careful, they don't act rashly now.

Being careful. That's

their business, isn't it?

Finding them is what we should do.

I believe we have a spy

from the Heroic Corps.

Captain Lee Jung-chool's every action

is observed every second right now.

Shanghai has changed a lot these years.

Me, I'm planning on giving up the Captain position and doing

some business here. Do you have any recommendation, brother?

Big brother, you have

finally opened your mind.

This is a good idea.

The thing on selling the country,

perhaps can relax a little for now.

But the guilt in the heart

will torture you for life.

Your words are nicely phrased.

When I was here, I had been active

with the provisional government.

I've left Shanghai for some time now, never

been in touch with these people since then.

Besides the Japanese, I do

not know any master here.

I'm looking for a person.

Don't tell me, let me guess.

You need a Joseon expert who has

relations with the provisional government.

How can you understand when I've

just mentioned half? Are you ghost?

Or am I that good at expressing myself?

A career is after all half coming from

Gyeongseong, and the other half is quick talent

I understand now, although I

don't know who you are looking for.

I'll help you find a master who's very

close to the provisional government.

You mentioned you wanted to

visit the ceramic factory.

Let's go now, it's not

too far from your place.

Very good, let's go.

Anything I can help you with, Mister?

Are there any foreigners who purchased

a big volume of explosives lately?

We don't sell explosives.

Don't lie, we know.

No such thing. Please

leave, leave, leave!

Hey! Hey! Boss! Boss! Hey! Hey!

It is said that a Hungarian revolutionist

has been visiting this place often.

I've always said the Hungarian

is an explosives expert.

He works at a France Pharmacy.

But his wife is an Asian lady.

Oh, Miss, you forgot this.

This is for your husband.

Thank you.

Come to our place for dinner some time.

Thank you.

Bye. See you again.

Don't go inside. Follow me.

Let's have French cuisine tomorrow.

Please drink a cup before leaving.

Let's relax a bit today, it's a long

journey. Don't forget what I've asked for.

What?

How could you forget again, about

shipping my artworks to Gyeongseong?

Of course, of course.

Watch out.

Go in and rest.

Damn, only eating expensively.

Who is it?

What are you doing,

early in the morning?

Let's go and have breakfast.

So early?

The early bird gets the worm.

The early bird gets caught first.

Ah, the fragrance of the sauce.

Big brother, you've got to

help me with a big favor.

I told you I'll help.

I'm putting my head on

the chopping block now.

I'm so scared.

That's right, you should be scared. That's because

yours will be on the chopping block as well.

You're putting my head on the

chopping block just for a meal?

How is it? Do the

dishes suit your taste?

Pleased to meet you. I am the

Heroic Corps head, Jung Chae-san.

During Goryeo's resistance time,

I've heard comrades talking about you.

There are many comrades who are

grateful of Captain Lee's assistance.

I've wanted to meet you all along,

so I've asked Woo-jin to introduce us.

Pleased to meet you.

Same. If it wasn't for Captain Lee, I wouldn't have had

the chance to sit alongside the police captain for a meal.

But how can you trust someone

who is a police captain like me?

Why are you looking at

me? I didn't say anything.

Chief heard of you on his

own when you were in Shanghai.

Having a meal with a comrade thousand miles away from

home, how can our initial greetings be so long winded?

Come on, let's eat.

No alcohol? Should this be

the way to entertain our guest?

Looks like you've made up

your mind to make me rich,

bringing the most wanted and highest

rewarded Jung Chae-san in front of me.

What are you trying to do? There's nothing

to be afraid of when you're young, is that it?

I have forgotten about

fear a very long time ago.

Why, are you scared now?

Didn't you become close to me for this?

The person is right in front

of you now. Why not make a move?

I can get rid of Jung Chae-san.

You may give it a try.

If I leave now, you'll all be in danger.

With the rumour of the government house's Captain Lee Jung-chool drinking

overnight with Heroic Corps head Jung Chae-san, and calling each other "brother,"

the news will surely

spread throughout Shanghai.

Are you threatening me?

Don't you know your situation now?

Really?

Since you've been here,

has Higashi looked for you?

Why do you think the Japanese who came with you,

are hiding the news of the Shanghai government?

He probably wants to

complete the mission himself.

I've seen many people who swing left and right

like you. In the end, they lose their head.

This is not as much as

I'd originally thought.

Let's drink to the max

and talk about our home.

Although my big brother is a big stone

head, his alcohol tolerance is low.

When did I become your big brother?

Come.

Come, both of you drink too.

Great, everybody cheers.

Cheers.

Come give me your cups.

Come.

Come.

Come.

Come.

So fast?

Captain Lee.

Do you like night fishing?

It's good to come here fishing

when you're feeling bored.

You'll forget all your fears while sitting

in the dark next to the river like this.

Do you feel afraid?

Of course.

I am an army who has lost my country.

Now strolling as a defector,

I am most confident in

my alertness of people.

Who will stand on my side, and

who will help me continue life.

These are my instinctive decisions.

I believe Captain Lee will help me.

I'm just a salaried policeman.
