Detective K: Secret of the Lost Island Page #6

---

Who was it?

Who's responsible for this?

I was watching Miss Hisako.

She retired to her room

so I was about to leave myself

when suddenly, someone put

a noose around my neck...

I would have died tonight

if it hadn't been for you.

Did you see anything?

No, not really...

You must have

if they were trying to kill you.

There was nothing like that.

Can I get more pickles?

Are you sure you really almost died?

I need to eat up since

I never know when I'll end up dead.

All right. Eat up then.

It has to be her, doesn't it?

They wouldnt need a horse,

if it was someone stronger.

- We need a new place to stay.

- I'll arrange it.

While we're on the topic,

can I have more rice?

You just had a whole pot

by yourself!

Do you eat a pot a day?

Stand guard around him.

Whoever wanted him dead

will come back.

If it's okay... some more rice?

I might kill him before they get to him.

Come here, you.

Come here.

- The ship has capsized.

- Treasures fell into the water.

- Tons of silk!

- Ginseng, too.

Its the ferry.

It brings in silver bullions

and return with a shipload of fine goods,

including ginseng and textures.

It must have capsized

sailing in stormy waters.

They must've upset

the Dragon King Island.

They had it coming.

Dragon King Island?

Far southeast of here

is a place of very strong

currents that all of us avoid.

The current is that strong there?

Strong enough to destroy a ferry boat?

Ive never been there, so I don't know.

But thats what I heard.

Who told you that?

- You heard the story too, right?

- Of course.

Even the children know about it.

Youve all heard about this island,

but no ones been there?

Who in their right mind

would walk into their own death?

We stay clear of the area.

Move over! That's mine!

Even in death, you can't even get

a small piece of land.

I believe she was used in

the manufacturing of fake silver.

She died, was tossed into the ocean,

and washed up ashore.

Who in their right mind

would walk into their own deaths?

I'm not sure if she

really is even Japanese.

No one seems to know why

she's in Joseon.

Oh my, oh my!

Oh no!

I told him that he couldn't come in.

Our guest seems to be in a hurry.

Leave us.

Tell me what you know.

- Is that a threat?

- I'm asking you.

Your request sounds

rather like a threat.

I'm searching for a young girl.

Then I hope you find her soon.

I found her. Today.

I found her and buried her.

At the foot of a stony mountain.

She shouldnt have died like that.

She didn't deserve to die like that.

What did you do?

If she wasn't supposed

to die that way...

then why did you let that happen to her?

Her name was Da Hae.

She was looking for her sister.

Seeing as she had this on her,

it means she had been here.

Her sister was undoubtedly at

wherever she was headed.

She must have been excited

to see her sister again.

Not knowing that she'd be used

in making of the counterfeit silver.

You stole that bullion from me

to hide the truth.

Likely because I couldn't find out

that the bullion was a fake.

From this moment on,

do not expect any sympathy from me.

What happened?

Before the authentic bullion

from Japan reach Taema-do

they are switched with counterfeits.

Are you saying the switch

is made on the boat?

The boat could sink under

that kind of weight.

Dragon King Island is where

the fake silver is manufactured.

But I heard that no ship

can go near it.

That is what I heard as well.

The place everyone has heard of,

but have never been to.

Young children are dying there.

If that is true...

then this matter is way over your head.

- I'll go first.

- Hold on.

I'll dispatch the soldiers!

It is far too dangerous for you.

But that will be too late.

I made a promise

to her older sister.

I promised her that

I would find her sister.

Would you risk your life

for a lowly slave girl?

All lives are equally precious.

I'll start with the owner

of the gibang.

I gave him a chance to save himself.

But he refuses to listen.

It's been filled up for you,

so you're free to take it.

What are you going to do

about Hisako?

I need to prepare myself since

they'll be on the move, too.

What is with this pressing music?

I'm eating up all your food,

yet not doing anything in return, so...

You're really trying my patience lately.

Turning me into a monster.

My neck! My neck!

When I open the door to leave...

that's one.

When Hisako enters through the doors...

that's two.

And when she changes into

her disguise and then leaves...

Three!

The tube will spray luminous paint

on her disguise.

One.

This is a map created by

Japan's feudal government.

They must've upset

the Dragon King Island.

Even the children know about it.

I only know that she's from Japan.

Two.

This can really complicate the matter.

Three!

My lord.

It's me! Me!

Why are you in there?

This won't do.

Look, I'll put on the paint.

This is me.

- Where are you?

- Right here.

You put it on, too!

Hurry!

I don't know who you are

but you can't just try to take part of

our loot that we've been working on.

Out of the frying pan

and into the fire.

Boys, don't kill him too soon.

Make his death slow, and excruciating.

Get them!

Stop right there!

Where did they go?

Who is it?

How dare you barge

into my room at this hour.

You must have a death wish.

The government officials have arrived.

They're gone.

Thank you.

Who was it that tried to kill you?

Probably the same man

that wants you dead.

So you were investigating

the fake silver, too.

I still haven't figured out

why you're doing all this

but... be careful.

Tonight after midnight...

another ferry boat

will leave for Taema-do.

That was for saving my life.

How did you get

beat up so badly?

Shut up.

I almost died today.

That's a pity.

I could've had hot beef soup

at your funeral.

What, what did you say?

You don't want this?

Forget it, I'm just going to sleep.

I'm turning off the lights.

But I'm still eating.

You can still stuff your face

even in the dark.

If you're going to eat,

you might as well eat in the light.

You will?

So, you've found out.

Found out what?

You've figured it all out, haven't you?

Your quick wits

have gotten you this far.

So I'm sure you've figured it all out.

What are you talking about?

Then... did you figure this out, too?

You should've figured out when

your life was going to end.

Shouldn't you?

Ugh, this tastes like blood.

Shut up!

Dragon King Island...

Used as a Japanese military base

during the war.

But it's hard to access.

Perhaps from higher a ground...

Come on, you little shits!

Move it already!

Period?

Over there.

Have you had your period?

There.

Have you had your period?

Your chest is firm

and you have dark circles.

You have started your period.

How dare you lie to me?

Over here.

These are the girls

I'm sending to Japan.

Clean them up so that

I can fetch a good price for them.

Send this lot to the factory.
