Flashback.
[Shot of Jin in Sun's father's, office, waiting uncomfortably while Mr. Paik signs papers.]
Mr. Paik [subtitled]
Why do you want to marry my daughter?
Jin [subtitled]
Mr. Paik. . . I may be from a fishing village, but I have ambitions.
Mr. Paik [subtitled]
What are your ambitions?
Jin [subtitled]
To open a restaurant. To one day own my own hotel.
Mr. Paik [subtitled]
What does your father think of this marriage?
Jin [subtitled]
My father? He is dead.
Mr. Paik [subtitled]
What would you do for my daughter?
Jin [subtitled]
Anything.
Mr. Paik [subtitled]
Even work for me?
Jin [subtitled]
Of course.
Mr. Paik [subtitled]
Why would I give my daughter to a man who sells his own dreams so easily?
Jin [subtitled]
Because. . . she is my dream. Sir.
[Mr. Paik rises and offers his hand to Jin.
Jin back at the beach. He sees Sun at the surf in a bikini and rushes over.]
Jin [subtitled] [covering her with a blanket]
What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?
[They argue as Jin continues to try to cover her up. Other people on the beach are watching them.
Kingpause's translation:
Jin running up to Sun: Get over here, now!
Sun: What the matter. I came out to swim.
Jin: [sorry, I didn't get this one]
Sun: What's the matter with my swimsuit?
Jin: Why would you wear this with all these other people around?
Jin: (background, as Jack, Kate, et. al. are talking): Come on, hurry! Everyone's looking at you! Hurry, let's go! etc.]
Jack
There they go again.
Claire
Do you think we should do something?
Charlie
What should we do?
Michael
What's going on?
Kate
I don't know, he just walked up and started going off on her again.
[Shot of Jin trying to drag Sun off the beach; she falls and is angry. Michael runs over. Kingpause's translation:
Sun (when Jin pushes her down): What are you doing?]
Michael
Hey, hey, hey. . . get your hands off of her.
Jin
Yells at Michael in Korean.
[Kingpause's translation:
Jin (when Michael runs up): This has nothing to do with you! Why are you interfering?]
Michael
I swear to god, you put your hands on her one more time. . .
Jin [poking Michael's chest]
Says something in Korean.
[Kingpause's translation: Jin (poking Michael): Who the hell are you? Don't talk to me.]
Michael [pushing Jin]
Get your hands off of me.
[Sun steps in and slaps Michael's face. He looks stunned. Sun grabs Jin's hand and walks away, Jin jerks his hand away.]

Nothing is going on.
Flashback.

Best Friend [subtitled]
The colors are so beautiful.
Sun [subtitled]
Is it okay?
Best Friend [subtitled]
It's really pretty. You must be so happy to be married.
Sun [subtitled]
Are you jealous?
Best Friend [subtitled]
No.
Jin [knocks and pokes his head in the door.] [subtitled]
Can I have a moment with my wife?
Best Friend [leaving] [subtitled]
Don't forget your guests are downstairs.
Sun [to Jin] [subtitled]
I'm so happy. I wish your father had lived to see this. [Jin's looks down.] I'm sorry. . . I upset you.
Jin [subtitled]
No. Wherever he is. I'm sure he is proud of me.
Sun [subtitled]
Will you button me up?
Jin [kissing her shoulder] [subtitled]
Do I have to?
Sun [subtitled]
What about our honeymoon?
Jin [subtitled]
Sun. . . You know I want to do. It's just that right now. . . I want your father so see I'm committed.
Sun [subtitled]
He won't hold it against you. After all, I'm his daughter.
Jin [subtitled]
In 6 months. . . after my management training is all done.
Sun [subtitled]
I'm just as important as his car company.
Jin [grabs a white flower from an arrangement and puts it in her hair] [subtitled]
I promise. . . we'll have the honeymoon. . . we always dreamed of.
[Shot of Sun walking toward Michael at the raft.]
Sun
Michael? I'm sorry.
Michael
Don't worry. I stuck my nose where it didn't belong. It's on me.
Sun
You don't understand. . .
Michael
Look, all I understand is that I've got to get this raft finished so I can my boy out of here and take him home.
Sun
When I slapped you I was protecting you.
Michael
Oh, yeah? From what?
Sun
From Jin. You don't know what he's capable of.
Michael
It's not my problem. It's yours.
[Shot of Jin hitting rocks at the golf course.]
Hurley [walking up]
You should try sea urchin. They've got more ping. Hey, so listen, I
know things got kind of nasty down there at the beach, and, um, I don't
want to get involved in husband and wife stuff, but I figured, you
know, you might need to relax. [He has two fishing poles.] So. . . [Jin
looks over and then ignores Hurley.] C'mon, dude, I'm trying here.
Okay, you want to be an outsider? It's your business.
[Shot of Shannon tying ropes.]
Shannon
I tied this side down. Do you think this is going to hold?
Sayid
Do you have a past in the Navy you neglected to tell me about?
Shannon
Why?
Sayid
How does a woman like you learn to tie a perfect bolen knot?
Shannon
By dating guys with sailboats?
Sayid
Since you bring it up. I've been worried since I first met you that you might end up being a spinster.
Shannon
Spending my Saturday nights alone at home, tying knots?
Sayid
Perhaps with an overweight aunt? It's a very sad image.
Shannon
Maybe we should get some rope, spend a Saturday night alone together, and see what happens.
[Shot of Walt walking up past Vincent to the raft -- bringing Michael some wire.]
Walt
Dad. . .
Michael
Thanks. You are going to love New York, Walt. No other city like
it. You know what I really want to show you in New York are the
buildings, the architecture. . .
Walt
Buildings?
Michael
Yeah, I used to say that, too, 'til I saw the Flat Iron Building.
Walt
What's that?
Michael
Oldest skyscraper in the city, built in 1902. It's flat. That one
building inspired me to start drawing and, you know, designing things.
Walt
Why?
Michael
You've just got to see it, man. You want to see it, right?
Walt
I guess. Could I go throw the ball to Vincent?
Michael
Yeah, sure, of course.
Jack [walking up]
Wow, you're making a lot of progress.
Michael
Yeah, trying.
Jack
It's pretty cool.
Michael
Got some bamboo for the decking. Got a piece of the fuselage for a cabin, some storage bins. What's up?
Jack
I thought I'd give you the heads-up.
Michael
Yeah.
Jack
Yeah, there's a lot of talk going on about who's going on this thing with you.
Michael
Hey man, it's not the Queen Mary. I've only got room for 4 people. There's one open spot.
Jack
Who took the other one?
Sawyer
What's the matter, doc? Feelin' left out?
Jack
You're taking Sawyer with you?
Sawyer
Yep, bought myself a ticket on this little tub. Let me tell you,
the fare was steep. [He tosses Michael a coil of cable]. I could've
used that cable to hold up the whole east wing of my new beach house.
Jack
You sold him a spot?
Michael
I needed the halyards for the mast.
Sawyer
Good thing I'm a saver, not a spender, huh, Doc?
[Shot of Kate and Sun in a tent on the beach.]
Kate
How much longer are you going to let him treat you this way?
Sun
Please. . .
Kate
Sun. . .
Sun
He's my husband. . .
Kate
Yeah, a husband you're afraid to tell you speak English. I'm trying to understand, Sun.
Sun
He wasn't always like this. He used to tell me how beautiful I looked to him. He was so tender. And then he was different.
Kate
What changed him?
[Shot of people running on the beach. Kate and Sun leave the tent to see what's happening.]
Kate
Charlie, what's going on?
Charlie
The raft, it's on fire, look.

Michael
Where is he?
Jack
She doesn't understand you, man.
Michael
Where is he?
Kate
Back off, Michael.
Michael
No, her husband did this, and she knows. You're trying to protect him now, is that it?
Kate
She was with me.
[Shot of Walt trying to throw sand on the fire.]
Michael
Walt, hey Walt. Get back.
Walt
I was. . .
Michael
No, no, no.
[Sun runs off.]
Kate
Sun, wait.
Michael [running back over.]
I'm going to break his damn neck.
[Kate and Jack step in to keep Michael from running after Sun.]
Jack
Take it easy, man. We don't know that Jin did this.
Sawyer
Oh, you're serious?
Jack
Sawyer, shut up.
Charlie
Jack, c'mon we saw him on the beach this morning.
Jack
That doesn't mean that he torched the raft.
Michael
Yeah, then who did, Jack?
[Shot of Jin at the caves going through the medical supplies.]
Sun [subtitled]
What are you doing?
Jin [subtitled]
I'm hurt.
Sun [subtitled]
You did it? [Jin just looks at her.] Michael was trying to get us off this island. . . why would you -
Jin [subtitled]
"Michael?"
Flashback.
[Shot of Jin running up the steps at the office.
Shot of Jin bowing to Mr. Paik.]
Jin [subtitled]
I take full responsibility for what happened, sir. The machinery is old, I should have. . .
Mr. Paik [subtitled]
I didn't call to reprimand you. I called to promote you. You will be my new special assistant.
Jin [subtitled]
Sir, I don't know what to -
Mr. Paik [subtitled]
Do you know Byung Han?
Jin [subtitled]
The Secretary for Environmental Safety?
Mr. Paik [subtitled]
Go to his home tonight. Deliver this message. "I'm very displeased."
[Shot of Jin knocking on a door. Byung Han answers.]
Han [subtitled]
Who are you?
Jin [subtitled]
My name is Jin Soo-Kwon.
Han [subtitled]
What do you want?
Jin [subtitled]
I work for Mr. Paik.
Han [subtitled]
Mr. Kwon, please come in.
[Shot of Han's daughter on the couch watching TV with the dog.]
Han [subtitled]
Please. . . have a seat. May I get you a drink?
Jin [subtitled]
No, I'm fine. I'm here to deliver a message.
Han [subtitled]
Please. . . not in front of my daughter -
Jin [subtitled]
Mr. Paik is displeased with you. That's all.
Han [subtitled]
Thank you, sir. . . Thank you. Really! Please tell Mr. Paik that I
won't make him unhappy - If there was some way I could apologize. . .
[He's goes and gets the dog from his protesting daughter and gives it to Jin.]
Han [subtitled]
A gift. For you. It's a championship breed -
Jin [subtitled]
Secretary Han -
Han [subtitled]
It's incredibly valuable. Please tell Mr. Paik I'm sorry. Will you do that?
Jin [subtitled]
I can't. . .
Han [subtitled]
You must. Please. You must. Thank you, sir. Thank you.
[Shot of Boone at a fire on the beach. Sayid walks up.]
Boone
What do you want?
Sayid
I'd like to talk to you about Shannon. It's very possible your sister and I are going to become more than just friends.
Boone
What is this? Some Middle Eastern thing? You want my blessing or something?
Sayid
My hope is you won't object.
Boone
Yeah?
Sayid
I was extending a courtesy, not asking your permission.
[Sayid starts to walk away.]
Boone
Let me tell you about my sister. She likes older men, guys who can
take care of her. My guess is, in this place, you fit the bill. She'll
make you feel like the greatest guy ever while you get her food, or
whatever it is that she needs. And when she gets whatever it is that
she wants, she'll move on. When she does, don't take it personally,
man.

Hey, there you are. Come help me with this, I'm completely destroying it.

You seem to be doing just fine.
Shannon
Yeah, outside of making it collapse.
Sayid
You're very capable, Shannon. I'm sure you'll be alright building it on your own.
Shannon
What's going on?
Sayid
Perhaps you should find another friend to help you with your shelter.
Shannon
You've been talking to my brother, haven't you?
[Shannon storms off to find Boone and discovers Locke de-gutting rats.]
Shannon
Oh, gross.
Locke
Gross to you, dinner to me.
Shannon
Boone, where is he?
Locke
Don't know.
Shannon
What do you mean you don't know? You two are like jungle pals.
Locke
Sorry, I haven't seen him.
Shannon
Well, if you do see him, tell him to keep his stupid mouth shut.
And if he does have something to say, he can leave Sayid out of it, and
come say it to my face.
Locke
Should I be writing this down?
Shannon
Just tell him to stay out of my business.
Locke
Do you like him?
Shannon
What?
Locke
Sayid?
Shannon
Are you serious?
Locke
Because if you do, like him, what's it got to do with you brother?
You're a grown woman. Sure, you can yell at Boone 'til you're blue in
the face, but all you're doing is giving him what he wants.
Shannon
Yeah, what's that?
Locke
Your attention. Everyone gets a new life on this island, Shannon. Maybe it's time you start yours.
[Shot of Sawyer with Jin as prisoner, pushing him along a path.]
Sawyer
You're pretty scared, huh? Scared, you understand scared, don't
you? Huh? [Sawyer pushes Jin down.] If you ain't, you're going to be,
Bruce. Folks down on the beach might have been doctors and accountants
a month ago, but it's Lord of the Flies time, now.

For you. I thought we could enjoy a meal. Together.

I'm glad you did.

Jin [subtitled]
Don't worry. No work tonight.
Sun [subtitled]
Thank you.
Jin [subtitled]
Of course.
Sun [subtitled]
Try this -
[The house phone rings, and Jin reluctantly answers it.]
[Shot of Mr. Paik and Jin at the office.]
Mr. Paik [subtitled]
Why is my factory closed? I'm losing millions because you were too incompetent to deliver a simple message?
[Shot of white-suit-thug-guy in the background].
Mr. Paik [subtitled]
You're driving my associate to Byung Han's house tonight. He'll show you how to deliver a message.
[Shot of Jin driving while white-suit-guy puts gloves on.]
White Suit [subtitled]
Keep the engine running. I will be inside less than two minutes.
When I return, you will not drive faster than the speed limit. You will
take this car to the riverbank eight kilometers away. Do you
understand?
[At Byung Han's house Jin barges in and beats Han.]
Han [subtitled]
Quick! Run. Mr. Kwon. . . wait. . . I can explain.
Jin [subtitled]
The factory opens tomorrow. I just saved your life. [To White Suit] He got the message.
[Shot of Jin coming home and washing the blood off his hands.]
Sun [subtitled]
Please talk to me. Are you hurt? Whose blood is this? What were you doing? What happened?
Jin [subtitled]
I was working.
Sun [subtitled]
Doing what? What do you do for my father? Look at me. Answer me. Look at me. [He pushes her. She slaps him.]
Jin [subtitled]
I do whatever your father tells me. I do it for us.

Michael [to Jin]
Hey, man. You burn my raft?!
Jack
Just calm down. Calm down and take a breath.
Michael [to Jin]
You burn my raft? Why you burn my raft, man?
[Sayid and Charlie come running, others gathering around.]
Jack
Just calm down, and think about it for a minute.
Michael
Look at his hands, man. They're burned.
Sawyer
Back off, Jack. It's got nothing to do with you.
Jack
Shut it!
Hurley
Look, everybody chill out.

Jin [to Sun]

Jin (to Sun): You don't believe me either? (Michael asks what did
he say?) It's not me. It's not me. I didn't start the fire, okay?]
Michael
What'd he say?
Jin
Something in Korean.
Michael [going toward Jin]
He said something to me?

Michael.

Jin

You understood us? All this time? Why didn't you say anything?
Sun [to Michael]
Your raft, it was already on fire when he arrived. He burned his hands trying to put it out.
Michael
Then why did he run?
Sun [to Jin]
Something in Korean.
[Kingpause's translation:
"He's asking you why you ran away if you didn't do anything wrong."]
[Jin doesn't reply.]
Michael
Exactly, that's what I thought.
Sun
My husband is many things. But he is not a liar.
Sawyer
You're going to lecture us about lying, Betty? From the look on his
face, even your old man here didn't know you speak English. How do we
know she's not covering for him?
Locke [suddenly on the scene]
Because she's isn't. Why would he burn the raft?
Michael
He's been after me since day one, everybody knows it. . .
Locke
Okay, it's personal, by why take it out on our best chance of
getting off the island? Why would any one of us block an attempt to get
home? We're so intent on pointing the finger at one another that we're
ignoring the simple undeniable truth that the problem isn't here, it's
there. [pointing to the jungle] They've attacked us, sabotaged us,
abducted us, murdered us. Maybe it's time we stop blaming us and start
worrying about them. We're not the only people on this island and we
all know it.

Sun
He did not do it.

Fire burned up all the twine. Damn it!! [Michael beating the raft
carcass. Walt is scared.] Damn it. God! [Michael sees Walt and collects
himself] I'm sorry, man.
Walt
It's okay.
Michael
No. Come here. Come here, look, we all have set-backs. I mean, God knows that. It's just life, we'll start over.
Walt
You're going to building another one?
Michael
Yeah. A better one.
Walt Can I help?
Michael
No doubt you can help. Come on.
[Sun finds Jin packing up his stuff at the caves.]
Sun [subtitled]
What are you doing? Please answer me. So you're going where - to
the beach? Is that how you've chosen to deal with me? Why didn't you
just tell me you didn't burn the raft? Why won't you speak to me Jin?
What have I done to deserve this? When did we stop talking?
Sun [in English]
I was going to leave you. I was going to get away. But you made me change my mind. You made me think that you still loved me.
Sun [subtitled]
I want to go back to the beginning. Can't we. . . just start all over?

Father [subtitled]
What is she like?
Jin [subtitled]
Beautiful. Intelligent. Hardheaded. We don't talk anymore.
Father [subtitled]
Why not?
Jin [subtitled]
Because I can't tell her. . . about her father. In a good world. . . she would hate him, not me.
Father [subtitled]
It is a good world.
Jin [subtitled]
You don't know what I've done.
Father [subtitled]
You are my son. It does not matter what you've done.

Why can't you?
Jin [subtitled]
I have responsibilities.
Father [subtitled]
More important than your wife?
Jin [subtitled]

Father [subtitled]
Then let that be the last thing you do for him. . . then walk away. Don't come back. Go to America. . . save your marriage.

Locke
No, no he's not.

Yes!
Locke
Good for you. Hey, you mind if I ask you something?
Walt
Sure.
Locke
Why did you burn the raft, Walt? Don't worry, I'm not going to tell. You must've had a really good reason.
