The Age of Shadows Page #5

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.

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,

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.
