The Age of Shadows Page #4

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.

I'm the type of person who

only hunts for benefits.

I can't guarantee I'll change my view.

Captain Lee, please push

me into the water now.

If this is what you want, please do so.

Such opportunity will not come again.

How can you be so confident in yourself?

I don't trust people's

words, nor my own.

I've only believed in what I

should do, what a person should do.

Everybody will face uncertainties, have

questions on where we should place our stance.

Comrade Lee, your name. Where do you

want it written in the history books?

I'm leaving my time with Captain Lee.

Please help us. We have no choice.

I'm going crazy.

So troublesome, what should I do?

We only need to safely arrive

to Gyeongseong, that's all.

But there are too many stumbling blocks.

We'll handle the rest. We won't

make things difficult for you.

The decision is yours.

We won't blame you.

I'm no different from Jang-ok.

Even if I become a ghost,

I will not be a coward.

I don't know what I'll

become when we next meet.

Do you understand?

I'll pretend I don't know anything.

He's really going as far as to

open a factory. He really trusts me.

Hashimoto.

These are fake. Fake.

I'll pretend I don't know anything.

He is really going as far as to

open a factory, he really trusts me.

Kim Woo-jin wants to go to Gyeongseong. Comrade Lee

applied two travel passes. Who do you think he's going with?

Of course, it's Jung

Chae-san, Jung Chae-san.

Kim Woo-jin is the second in line. He's going to

the port tomorrow. Quickly apply for a warrant.

Is the intel accurate?

I can claim all the rewards myself.

Don't believe me? Go ask around outside.

Are you Kang Jong-ki?

Is there anyone else here besides me?

Is Jung Chae-san really here?

Our target is to bring these

explosives safely to Gyeongseong.

We'll split up and go in

disguise to hide these explosives.

The most powerful ones are in that box.

Where are they?

Even if we face any

unexpected event on the way,

this box needs to arrive

safely to Gyeongseong.

We can only continue searching.

I'll send more men tomorrow

to the Shanghai port.

Let's go.

Everybody leaves from

the Gyeongseong station,

and when we meet at the final meet up

point, our mission will then be complete.

The bomb boxes, me and Seo Jin-dol will use

the train to deliver them to Andong Station.

Seo-im will collect those boxes from Andong

station, and move them to the warehouse. That's all.

Good, everybody must arrive at

Andong safely and we shall meet there.

The end.

What? What's going on?

Where's Kim Woo-jin?

We've searched all over the port.

What?

We've looked all over the

port and we can't find him.

How can you work this way?

What did your spy say?

He's not sure of the details.

He's at the bottom rank.

You've been using such a

useless spy this whole time?

We do have a higher ranking spy, but we don't

meet often to avoid exposing their identity.

Then you should have informed me!

We all should have a completed plan!

Do you think this is my decision?

I'm just obeying orders from above.

So the higher-ups are excluding

me from the operation this round?

Was it Higashi's order?

Captain Lee's intel is questionable.

This is a fact, isn't it?

Do you think I've fabricated the intel?

If the intel is rubbish,

shouldn't we replace the informant?

Where did you spend all the money?

What?

If it's not the ship,

it's the train, train.

Where to go?

They must have operated individually, and met

at Andong before going to Gyeongseong together.

What? Are you sure?

Jung Chae-san is risking his

life to go to Gyeongseong?

Are you sure?

I'm not too sure if Jung Chae-San

is following along this time around.

What? But Jung Chae-san

is the most important now,

and you said you're not sure

if Jung Chae-san is following.

For that, based on my informant,

Kim Woo-jin, Yun Gye-soon are operating

as a group, moving and meeting at Andong.

Get out now and report to me over

here! This disrespectful bastard!

Tell me now, why is it important if the

resistance group is going to Gyeongseong?

Where did Jung Chae-san

go? Jung Chae-san!

We have no information yet.

Who gave you such intel?

It's someone within them who they are

traveling along with to Gyeongseong.

Does this sound right? If he was a core member,

he should have known where Jung Chae-san went.

According to Heroic Corps internal, no one should

know the exact whereabouts of Jung Chae-san.

They will only disclose right

before each secret mission.

That's why I asked who

that person is, bastard.

Okay, okay. We can't talk about it now.

You shall continue checking

on Jung Chae-san's whereabouts.

Okay, let's move.

If this is false intel,

what should we do?

Heroic Corps's Jung Chae-san,

if we fail to capture him,

we'll go back empty handed.

No, this is an accurate intel.

This spy is 100% reliable.

We have promised him a thick reward.

Kim Jang-ok's hiding place

was also disclosed by him,

or we wouldn't have had such close

opportunity approaching Jung Chae-san.

Good, I think we have to act fast.

The train heading to Gyeongseong

will leave in 5 minutes.

The train leaving to Gyeongseong will

depart soon. Please board the train on time.

We will split up and search.

Which side do you want to go with?

Yun Gye-soon and the westerner should be at

the express cabin. I'll look for Yun Gye-soon.

Want to claim the rewards all by yourself by

catching Yun Gye-soon, huh? Is that what you meant?

What?

Then you go there, I'll look over here.

Really, on this train? No mistake?

I'm going to go get some air.

What happened, why are you here?

You're exposed. Where's Yun Gye-soon?

Is she with the westerner?

Yes, they're in the first class cabin.

Hashimoto went there.

What? The mission on this train is

only disclosed to my team, how come...?

Now there's a spy within your team.

Kim Jang-ok was also

exposed by that bastard.

I'm now in such awkward

situation because of you.

Long story short, we must stop Hashimoto

and not let him search everywhere.

I'll think of a way. You better

think of what you should do now.

There's a spy within your

team on the train now.

Help me look after this bag.

Nothing there?

Looks like nothing.

I know now.

Hashimoto!

Wait.

Can you please sit here?

I think that us going around

searching will alert the enemy.

After all, if we find them, we'll

have to wait till we reach Gyeongseong.

If we can't capture everyone, we have to

consider that the resistance may attack.

So if we found Kim Woo-jin, or any other

suspicious person, we have to observe them quietly.

We can arrest them in one swoop

at Gyeongseong. What do you think?

There is some sense in your words.

All right, then we shall work quietly.

We'll act normal like tourist,

and inspect in the dark.

Then do you mean...do we still

search through the travellers?

Yes, of course.

- No...

- I meant I will take careful action.

We need to capture them in
