Forbidden Quest Page #4

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.

you of all people?

Come on now.

I said it was for sport.

This is what I think.

I think you should make this

a series of stories.

From the moment they meet,

until the deed is done.

Make it tantalizing.

You think it merits such a fuss?

Look.

I thought my trousers

were going to bust.

Did you get the treatment?

We could have met at my store.

Why do we have to meet here?

Looks like there's a problem.

You don't look too well.

No book either.

I was too arrogant and proud.

Arrogant?

I thought it would be easy,

but it wasn't at all.

So you didn't even try?

Let's see, I promised

the manuscript to the merchants on...

To make copies and get them ready,

I needed it by today.

Now I can't honour this deal.

It's going to become messy.

Those merchants can get nasty.

Oh sir, if only you could...

'Hukgok Bisa'?

You mean,

'Tale of the Dark Valley'?

I was Just trying it out.

Do you think it is inappropriate?

It's pretty explicit.

Isn't that the point?

Well, these books

tend to have sober titles.

But from the first page?

Wait, I guess I don't have

what it takes.

- Give that back to me.

- Sir, hold on.

Slap it here.

What is this?

Just do it

and stop asking questions.

Now we have an agreement.

Hwang, wait!

Hwang! Hold on!

So you haven't started

Chapter Two yet?

Well, it is what it is.

I was feeling under the weather.

And filial duties kept me busy.

And the maids mistakenly threw out

what's been written so far?

Yes, that's right.

So, what's the reaction

to Chapter One?

Well, I mean, it is your first time,

a little rough around the edges.

I see.

I understand.

Let's Just say it never happened.

I Just don't think

I can keep this up.

That darn temper of yours.

It is a huge sensation, okay?

Really, are you sure?

Look, this is your book.

See how it's all worn out?

And look at the last page.

Who wrote all that?

Those who read your prose

were inspired to write down

their thoughts and opinions here.

What do you call these messages?

In my ten years as a merchant,

this is a first.

Since the readers left messages...

how about calling it a message board?

A message board.

Sleep abandoned me

after I read your work.

How well you know the secrets

of a woman's heart.

It is strange.

This is my story.

I must meet the writer.

Did my lover confess to you?

Chu Wol Sek, the writer.

He is human trash.

I will never read his writing again.

I will only read your work.

In Bong's followers are all trash.

Die In Bong!

I eagerly await the next chapter!

You want to keep this?

Aren't those coloured glasses?

My eyes are fine.

These aren't for improving vision.

Writers usually wear these.
