Forbidden Quest Page #3

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 why me?

We've Just met.

And I'm not energetic.

I like you, too.

A nation is not only made of men

of prominence.

Men who can copy paintings like you

are necessary.

Don't you think?

I can safely say that you will be

in great demand someday.

No, that will be very unlikely.

Now, please get some rest.

There's a wound here.

Can I ask you something?

Yes, if you must.

It's about what

the calligrapher said.

Is there some trouble again?

No, no, that's not it.

He said the writings of In Bong

are renowned.

What about it is so exceptional?

His name is not to be said in vain

under any circumstances.

It's a pseudonym anyway.

What makes it so great?

I've never thought about why.

It's a difficult question.

How can I explain this?

He knows the true flavour of it.

True flavour? What do you mean?

You're the greatest writer in Korea,

so how can you ask that?

Oh, come. Please explain.

Well, it's almost dreamlike.

Dreamlike?

It's like you're in a dream...

and seeing things in a dream.

Tasting things

you can only dream about.

That's the true flavour of it.

Oh boy, how could you have written

without knowing these things?

It's hot!

I heard you carried out the King's

order with dedication and diligence.

And you Joined forces with our enemy

who did that to your brother?

I did carry it out

but I was not the one...

Silence!

Memorial to the King

Genitals

Genitals...

The thick penis penetrated

the woman 's wet genitals.

These are the rules.

You are not to look at the Queen.

If she gives you a gift,

you are to Just bow in gratitude.

If you extend your hand...

Look, I know that much.

I asked you to come see me

so that I could thank you personally.

I was only doing what was my duty.

I heard your physical strength

played a big role this time.

I don't understand, my Lady.

With the gang of vagrants.

When you and your partner

were in danger,

I heard you let out

a thunderous roar.

Then you pounced on the criminal,

and he moved his arm like so,

and you flew like a frog

towards the wall.

Well, that was...

And you went dizzy

and fell in and out of consciousness.

Thank you.

What do you mean, my Lady?

Anyway, thank you.

I was stung by a bee as a child

and ever since I cannot stand bees.

I don't know what this is about,

but go on, tell me.

I wrote it on a whim, I mean,

for game.

Would you take a look at it?

What's it about?

It's an indecent book.

'Chu Wol Sek'.

'The Light of the Autumn Moon.'

- You already have a pen name?

- Well, I thought I'd need one.

Don't make fun of it.

A royal woman...

If it's no good...

Well, what do you think?

I knew it.

I was planning to burn it anyway.

Who would've thought
