Post #3707611

More detailed summary this time because, well, you’ll see. The army version of a temp shows up and he’s got someone, Young Hi (that is how my subtitles spelled it), doing domestic tasks for him. He uses a racial slur for Koreans in a comment about her, and Hawkeye tells him not to fucking do that. Turns out, Young Hi is this shitheel’s slave. They call her a “moose”, I don’t think the world slave is ever used, but she was “purchased” for a set amount paid to her family and she travels with and does labor for this guy for no further pay. So, yeah, slave. Hawkeye is enraged when he learns this, and that it is while technically not allowed, also relatively widely tolerated in practice. Young Hi says they do not have a physical relationship, and is happy where she is. Hawkeye is so enraged that he puts on a uniform for I think the first time in the series - he is almost always in a surgical smock, a robe, or a Hawaiian shirt - to try to pull rank on shitheel slaver and order him to free her, which fails. He immediately switches tactics to trying to buy her. He fails, and Radar helps him cheat at cards to win her. Hawkeye immediately tries to free her, but she kinda takes this as more like getting fired and just starts doing domestic tasks for Hawkeye and his compatriots. He tries to put her on a bus to Seoul, but she jumps off and hitchhikes back. There’s a montage of teaching her English and, I don’t know how else to put this, how to not be a slave? They call Young Hi’s family, who sends her little brother who is 1) like twelve years old, and 2) a gangster who talks openly about how they plan to just sell Young Hi into slavery again when they get home. There’s a fakeout where she leaves with the little brother, then comes back and says she told him to shove off. Cut to getting a letter from her, where she has gone to a convent school and is going to learn how to assist the nurses there. The end. Discussion in next post because character count.
