Jin & Sun

At work, Jin is told to give someone a “message” and he goes to see a man who looks worried when Jin tells him he’s from Paik Industries. Luckily for the man, Jin doesn’t quite understand the meaning of giving someone a message and simply tells this man that Mr Paik is displeased with him. This seems to make the man happy and as a thank you he gives Jin the family’s pet dog.

At home, Sun has worked hard on a family meal for her and Jin and wants to spend some quality time with her husband. Unfortunately they are interupted by a phone call from Mr Paik who wants to see Jin. When Jin goes to the office Mr Paik isn’t very happy with him and tells him to go with someone who will show him how to deliver a message properly.

When Jin is driving the man to the house, he is given instructions on what to do: when the man is delivering the message Jin must leave the car running, and when he returns he should drive at the usual speed limit. Jin looks in the rear-view mirror and notices the guy preparing a gun. When they arrive at the house Jin decides to deliver the message himself and barges in the house and hits the man numberous times. When he’s done he tells the man “I just saved your life”.

In Translation

Jin arrives home with blood on his hands and seems reluctant to talk to Sun when she questions him about it. Sun pushes him to tell her what happened, and Jin tells her he was doing a job for her father. He tells her “I do whatever your father tells me to”. Sun is obviously not happy with this situation and leaves the room. Jin then looks in the mirror and begins to cry.

Jack

Jack is in surgery operating on a woman who had been in a car accident. Jack is trying desperately to save her, whilst in the corner his father, Christian, is telling him to “call it”. Jack looks angrily at his father and says “you call it”.

Later, in the operating room, Jack and his father are arguing about how the woman died, and Jack tells his father that he was asked to join the OR by one of the nurses because his hands were shaking during surgery. Christian tried to brush off that claim but Jack, hinting at his fathers alcoholism, asked him how many drinks he’d had at lunch.

A few days later, Jack visits his father in his office and Christian gives him something to sign to say that the woman who died, died from the injuries of the car accident. Jack at first refuses to sign it, but after a guilt-trip from his father, gives in and signs it.

Later, in the hospital corridor Jack sees his father speaking to the womans husband. After asking a nurse what they’re talking about, he finds out that he is going to sue the hospital.

When the case is brought to the boardroom, Christian is very specific about what happened and seems content with his story. When asked if he was aware of the womans pregnancy Christian confirms and says that it was very early on in the pregnancy and that the mother was their main priority.

This seems to set something off in Jack, as Jack seems unaware of the pregnancy and seems sure that his father wasn’t either, so he tells everyone he needs to revise his statement, and tells them that he was asked to take over in OR because his father was operating under the influence of alcohol.
