Forbidden Quest Page #6

Synopsis: 1941: in Ireland, a film maker hears of an aged ship's carpenter who knows the fate of the Hollandia, a Norse ship that set sail in 1905 and vanished. The old salt has canisters of film to prove his tale. We see the footage as he narrates. They sail south in June, 1905, with scores of Siberian huskies aboard, meeting no living soul, the crew ignorant of the trip's purpose, until they reach Antarctica. A mysterious Italian paces the deck; a polar bear appears, and the Italian, possessed, hunts it down. That night, the boatswain explains to the crew how an Arctic bear could be at the South Pole and why the Hollandia has come. Visitors arrive, and the Gothic tale plays out.

But I could not differentiate

whether it was love

or an indecent desire.

That is why I had such a hard time

professing my true feelings.

If my life hangs on the word love,

how can I say it?

Simply,

I will keep it in my heart

until I see you in the afterworld.

I will.

I will wait.

In front of me

you say, 'I will'?

And, 'I will wait'?

You dare say that

in front of me?

Anyway, what does it matter?

You two will meet

in the afterworld anyway.

This would be all useless.

I am the loser.

The one who loves the most

is the loser.

The top is made of china,

and the bottom is...

That's enough. What is it?

'Chu Wol Sek'.

The last chapter of his memoirs.

- Do you have it?

- You should have come earlier!

You're too late.

What a pain.

Wait! Wait!

I'm too curious.

What happened to the Queen?

Probably rotting in the palace.

She's just cooped up there.

And what about Inspector Kim?

Easy, easy...

Inspector Kim!

Wait.

Why do you turn your back on us?

Come on.

Aren't you glad to see us?

Indecent

It just, happened.

What brings you two this far?

Did you write another novel?

A high official falls in love

with a prisoner

while interrogating him.

He falls in love at first sight.

This prisoner

is surprisingly handsome

and has a prim air.

But what's odd about this prisoner

is that the more he gets tortured,

the more he enjoys it.

The more I tortured,

I don 't get it at all!

- He enjoys being tortured?

- Yes.

Hwang, what do you think?

It's absolutely shocking.

But I have a question.

Yes, go ahead.

Wouldn't there be only one position?

If it's between guys,

this would be the only position.

Then wouldn't the illustrations

be too dull?

You fool.

I thought of a title already.

It's probably going to be

too explicit as usual.

Since there are two sticks,

'The Secret Tale of the Twin Rods'?

You haven't changed a bit!

No, no.

It's about two old friends.

'Mates'. How about 'Mates'?

'Mates'?

You've been away too long.

You've lost your touch.

That's strange. I quite like it.

Come on.

Anyway, who knows?

Who knows how it might be

centuries from now?

The world will be dirtier than ever.

Titles will have to be more erotic.

Hold on.

Don't be surprised.

It's moving.

Wow.

This...

What do you call this?

- Since it moves...

- Yes, since it moves...

Yeah, with pictures.

Moving pictures!

How about that?
