Back on Craphole Island, Mistereko and Jin are walking through the jungle while the cinematographer justifies the shooting location, and likely helps boost Hawaii tourism while he's at it, with the majestic tree-covered hills shrouded in fog behind them. They make their way into a clearing, where they stop for a moment. Jin hears rustling off to the left, and takes off into the bush, despite Mistereko's protests. "Michael!" says Jin, urgently, and keeps going.
Then he stops, looks around, hears rustling, sees the bushes moving, and suddenly he's charged by a CGI boar, knocking him to the ground and rolling him down a hill. Stunned, he groggily gets up, before being surprised by a dead body with a stake sticking out of its chest. The sound effect guys throw in the ol' "decay signified by buzzing flies" standby while Jin looks nauseated. Mistereko strolls up. "His name was Goodwin," he says. The screen goes white, and in black lettering it says "Goodwin. 1968-2004." Jin looks like he's going to throw up, but he takes his hand off his mouth long enough to point at the body and quietly say, "Others?" Mistereko nods grimly. Thing about that is, would Mistereko's group attach the same significance to that specific word? Wouldn't it be more likely that Mistereko thinks Jin's asking if there are others like Goodwin? Well, come to think of it, I suppose a grim nod is an appropriate response anyway.
