Season 1: Episode 6 - 'House of the
Rising Sun'
|
|
We open on the eye of
Sun who looks out at her husband Jin as he catches and kills fish
with his bare hands when we launch into
a FLASHBACK where
Jin is a waiter at a lavish party for Korean high society; and Sun is
a cocktail-clad part of that society. Both are in positions that
highly contrast the characters we know on the island. Jin approaches
Sun and offers her a glass of champagne, but there is another exchange
going on between them in their eyes and when they meet later,
we learn that they are lovers, as they steal a kiss in private. Sun
wants to run away to America while Jin is worried about her father's
approval. Jin presents her with a white orchid all he can afford
for now.

Back on the island, Jin is
distracted by the sight of Michael and Walt walking down the beach, when
suddenly, for no apparent reason, he charges Michael and proceeds to beat the
crap out of him near the shoreline. Jin nearly drowns Michael as Walt and Sun
look on helplessly, until Sawyer and Sayid step in to break it up. Sawyer uses
the Marshal's handcuffs to chain Jin to a piece of the fuselage.
Meanwhile, Jack, Kate, Charlie and Locke trek towards the fresh water source.
When Charlie separates from the group for a fix, he inadvertently steps on a
bee hive. Locke, who seems to have followed him, instructs Charlie not to
move, but Charlie has an irrational fear of bees. As he balances precariously
on top of the hive bees buzzing all around his head, we cut back to
the Beach, where Michael is explaining what happened. Defending himself,
his frustration grows as the language barrier and race card come into play.
Sayid insists that Jin remain handcuffed until they can sort things out. Sun
looks on as we go into another FLASHBACK, by an idyllic lake, where Jin
announces his intentions of marrying Sun, with her father's blessings and
gives her an engagement ring. Sun is overjoyed until she learns that, in
return, Jin has agreed to work for her father's business. And off her look of
concern, we cut back to
the island, where Charlie struggles to remain still as more bees buzz
around him. Jack has a plan he'll cover the hive, but before he's able to
put his plan in action, Charlie is stung and stomps on the hive in reaction.
The angry swarm is instantly on them and they all run off in separate
directions, swatting bees and shedding clothes. Kate runs into a cave, where
she stumbles into the skeletal remains of two bodies, one male, the other
female, giving evidence to the fact that there were people on this island
before them. When Jack examines "Adam & Eve", we learn that
they've been dead for approximately 40 years and were laid to rest without any
evidence of trauma. Among their few possessions, Jack finds a pouch containing
two stones one black, one white.
At the beach, Sun applies aloe to Jin's handcuffed wrist, which is chaffed and
cut from the cuff. In FLASHBACK, we watch Sun enter a well appointed home to
find a gift wrapped box waiting for her, with an adorable Sharpei puppy
inside. But instead of looking pleased, Sun looks depressed. Jin is also
distant and instead of sharing this moment with his wife, he retreats into the
bedroom to take a business call.
Back in real time, Jack is encouraged by the discovery of the bodies at the
caves. He suggests that, instead of bringing the water to the people, they
bring the people to the water. While Charlie and Locke agree and stay behind
to begin to prepare things for the others, Kate isn't quite convinced and
remains unwilling to settle in.
Meanwhile, back on the beach, Walt is upset and confused over the attack and
questions his father's part in it. Michael immediately assumes that Walt's
mother said bad things about him, but the truth is even harder for him to
take. His mother never spoke of him at all. And off these relative strangers
we find
strangers of a different sort. As Sun tends to Jin, we FLASHBACK once more
to their home, which has become even more ornate, and where Sun seems further
trapped by her gilded cage. Jin enters and rushes into the bathroom with blood
on his hands. Sun follows and begs Jin for an explanation, but he ignores her
and will only say that he was working. Frustrated at his lie, Sun slaps her
husband hard across the face, but instead of a reaction all she gets is a cold
stare from a pair of dead eyes. Sun realizes for the first time that she
doesn't know her own husband anymore. Jin tells her that he does whatever her
father asks of him and that what he does, he does for them. But Sun
doesn't buy it and recoils from him in fear.
Back at the caves, Charlie cannot escape from the watchful eye of Locke, who
claims to know who he is and what he's looking for. In his paranoia, Charlie
assumes that Locke is wise to his drug habit, when in fact, Locke is talking
about his status in Drive Shaft and the fact that he lost his guitar in the
crash. Locke tells Charlie to have faith this island will give you a great
deal
if you are willing to give it something in return. Meanwhile, Jack
returns to the beach and finds the people seriously divided about whether to
move to the caves. Kate tells Jack that she just isn't willing to dig in and
the two part ways.
Sun finds Michael chopping wood. In perfect English, she explains that her
husband attacked Michael over a watch that belonged to her father a watch
that Michael is wearing on his wrist; a watch that symbolized honor amongst
the men in her life. And as Michael attempts to take all this in, we go into
another FLASHBACK, where a woman posing as a home decorator gives Sun
instructions on how to make a getaway at the airport while on a business trip
with Jin. We learn that Sun has been studying English for some time in
anticipation of leaving her husband.
Back in real time, Charlie finally shakes Locke and sneaks away for a hit. The
minute Charlie takes out his drugs, Locke is on him, demanding that he hand
them over before he runs out because then, as Locke reasons, he will be in
control of his choice. Charlie is fed up with Locke and asks to be left alone,
but Locke will not be denied. In a moment of desperation, Charlie hands over
his bag to Locke. And, sure enough, he looks up to see his guitar, hanging in
a tree.
Michael approaches Jin wielding the axe, but instead of killing the guy,
Michael explains that he innocently found the watch and cuts Jin loose. He
warns Jin to stay away from him and his son and walks away as Sun looks on.
And in her FINAL FLASHBACK, we are at the airport in Australia. Sun is about
to walk away from her husband, eyes darting from the clock to the car waiting
outside. But when she looks back at Jin, she finds him holding a white orchid
in his hands, reminding her of the simple love they once had. Sun makes a
decision to stay with her husband and allows the car to leave without her.
At the caves, Charlie plays his guitar as Hurley, Jin, Sun and Jack arrive.
Meanwhile, back at the beach, Sayid, Sawyer, Boone, Shannon, Michael, Walt and
Kate keep the signal fire burning. The camps are divided as Jack and Kate
stare into their separate fires
