Here's how I watched "In Translation"
Beginning: Sun in tiny blue bikini.
Middle: blah blah Jin is an enforcer, Hurley on Korean tv, raft burns, blah blah blah.
End: Sun in tiny blue bikini.
My thoery on Hurley is that he's a master Starcraft player and won some big tournament. Starcraft, at least a few years ago, used to be a national obsession in South Korea. Hurley has said he's known as a warrior in some places, which would fit here.
Did anybody else understand the "Deliver him the message that I am not pleased" to mean "Give him a beating?" Clearly that was what was meant, and the guy who got beaten expected something similar, but I was with Jin--it seemed to me to mean deliver a verbal warning.
