did the Asian decoy recognize Walker?


I am talking about that look they exchanged in the restroom mirror prior to the fight - did the Asian guy know who John Lark actually was? Or was that look something else?

Good catch. I think you might be right.

But if that's true, why would he attack Walker?

I got the impression that the Apostles maintain strict radio silence and compartmentalization. I'd guess that the Asian John Lark decoy never met Walker before, and likely had no idea Walker was the head of the Apostles (if indeed he WAS the head - he certainly seemed to be calling all the shots).

It's like Walker tells Benji (who's disguised as Solomon Lane): "I have no way of contacting [the Apostles], for their safety and mine."

That's why Walker had to flee to the prearranged rendezvous despite having Apostle agents right there in the tunnel with them.
