Detective K: Secret of the Lost Island Page #7

---

Yes.

Pedophilia.

They didn't need young girls

for fake silver production.

They use the girls who cannot

be sold for sex because of their age

to manufacture fake silver.

Dead.

- Get her out of here.

- Yes, sir.

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Hurry.

Do Hae?

How do you know my name?

Did you hear that?

I'm sure I heard something.

Search!

- Yes.

- Yes.

I swear I heard something here.

You sneaky b*tch!

How dare you lock yourself in there?

Follow me!

I'm sorry.

I'll be back for you,

so wait just a bit longer.

The zither player!

Did you enjoy your tour

of Dragon King Island?

What have you done

with Seo Pil?

What do you think I've done?

You simply don't bother

people while they're eating.

He wouldn't stop babbling

so I put a hole in his neck.

You sell young girls to

Japan for pedophile sex

and use the others

to produce fake silver?

You son of a b*tch!

A nobleman who knows how to swear!

That's right. Now I remember.

Your eyes looked familiar.

Thanks to you, I was sold off to Japan.

I should repay the favor.

Don't move!

Stop what you're doing.

You arrived in such a timely manner.

I'm beyond thrilled to see you.

Prisoner Kim Min!

You escaped from exile

but you collaborated

with a Japanese woman

to produce fake silver and

put this country's economy in jeopardy!

My friend.

It's me.

Why are you doing this?

He's the one heading up

the fake silver production.

The government official

who has this bastard's back...

was you.

Do your job properly.

Considering how much I pay you...

What are you all doing?

Arrest those two immediately!

My name is Hwa Yeon,

a daughter of a slave.

I was the one who gave

that girl that candy.

The girl called Da Hae...

came to see me.

How old are you?

I'm 12 years old.

Why are you here?

To find my little sister.

I heard that I could

find my sister here.

Was she taken away

on a boat, too?

I'm... not sure.

Thank you.

I want to save it and give it

to my sister when I see her.

All right.

Take care, little one.

You're Korean, aren't you?

No, I'm not.

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

I'm sure you've trimmed

your fingernails before.

What are you talking about?

Children of slaves

never cut their nails.

The nails wear off

before they can even grow.

And the toenails are so bruised

before they can grow.

Do you know how many children

get sold off for debt or hunger?

At first, they blame their parents

for selling them off...

but the moment they taste

white rice in their mouths...

that grudge turns into gratitude.

It's probably the best thing that

my parents have ever done for me.

For a child who was

born as a slave

there is no such thing as

a world that is better or worse.

I was lucky to have been sent to

a Japanese official.

And now, I am investigating the fake

silver case on their children's behalf.

If I had stayed here...

then I would have lived my life never

dreaming of what I could become.

Could I... grow up

to become something?

Don't be shy and tell me.

It's not that I'm shy...

It's just that I've never thought

about that before.

Why did you do it?

I used to look up to you

back in the day.

You would put these poor children

in misery for money?

Just money?

You know as well as I do.

I've gotten passed over

for the minister's position many times.

I have no power

and no strings to pull.

So how else can I possibly

become a minister?

Money is power,

and money pulls strings.

I know your type very well.

Money is all that matters to you.

You spineless scumbags!

Rest easy.

I brought in your old friends

to keep you company.

I can't breathe!

You should rest more.

This is Hell.

I've died and gone to Hell.

No, you haven't died yet.

What happened?

You came to see me

in your bleeding state.

I did?

I was touched that you'd

come see me before you died!

I couldn't die with dignity?

Have you seen my lord?

Just a few more days.

There are children

that needs to be saved.

They're being sold for sex

and dying while making fake silver.

- Such poor souls...

- Look, noble lord.

You'll risk your neck for

some slave's daughter?

Tell me something I can believe.

Hey, hey. Would you believe your words

if you were in my shoes?

Those children are

citizens of Joseon, too!

Remember every time

you look at that scar.

Think of all those children who died

because of you!

If you leave out even one nyang

from what you've promised

then I'll break your neck.

You understand?

Every hour counts.

First, I shall go to save the children.

Please take care of the fake silver.

I'll take care of things on my end.

Anyhow, it's impossible to

go near Dragon King Island.

The only way we can ensure

that we don't get caught...

What will you do?

The sun's coming up soon.

We'll take the sky.

Wait, wait, wait!

Didn't this crash into the rocks last time?

This man!

It never once succeeded!

Never failed either.

I definitely saw it crash with my own eyes.

Get me out of this!

I know why it failed,

so it's the same as being a succes.

What a load of nonsense.

Ah, hold on!

How did you figure out

what went wrong?

How did you find out?

- Let's go!

- No, no, no!

Here we go!

Where do we land?

I think somewhere down there!

That's it!

Can you land this thing?

This is the first time I've flown it!

I knew it, you fool!

That wasn't too bad, was it?

What are you talking about?

Let's go.

There's no time.

Let's hurry it up.

This needs to go over there.

Let's go to Joseon!

This is the entrance.

First, place a fuse in a bamboo pipe.

Put it in a bigger pipe, fill it with

gunpowder, and close it.

Its recorded in the books

as Heaven-shattering Thunder.

A time-ticking bomb that's dependent

on the length of its wick.

We'll separate here.

Don't forget...

We only have fifteen minutes

from the time you light the wick.

Looks good, huh?

It's good for you,

so get in line to have some.

I said line up!

Hey you, come here.

Get up. Open your mouth.

Come on.

Open your mouth!

You are an evil monster,

you awful witch.

- Why I ought to...

- Goodness!

My lord.

Please spare me...

I was only doing as I was told.

I can't even hit you

because you're a woman.

- Get out of my sight.

- Thank you, kind sir!

Thank you.

Are you all right?

What about Do Hae?

Where is Do Hae?

It's all right.

We're here to save you.

Do Hae was caught running away

and taken to the factory.

Listen up.

Everyone, follow this man out.

You mustn't lose him.

What are you going to do?

We need a distraction

while we get these children get out.

I'll distract the guards,

and find Do Hae.

Escape with the children

and light the wick.

My lord... can you get out

within fifteen minutes?

- No, I cannot.

- What?

Just do as I say.

Let's go!

Let's go, let's go.

- Over there! Over there!

- Over there.

Hurry!

Hurry! Over there!

Hide behind the rocks.

Be careful. careful.

Hide in there! Hide!

Jeez, you just won't die!

Do you have any idea...

how much damage you've cost me?
