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.

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.
