Pilot
David Jung (Daniel Dae Kim) comes out of hiding and interferes with an operation mounted by Caddis, a private intelligence firm, in Seoul, Korea. Jung, the founder of Caddis, faked his own death nine years earlier and has been in hiding ever since.
Rebecca (Reina Hardesty), an assassin and the point operative in the mission that David interfered with, is David's daughter. She didn't know that he was still alive. She chases him to coordinates that she found in a Caddis vehicle that he stole and then abandoned.
Rebecca doesn't know who she is following until she finally catches up to him. David explains that he's there to get her away from Caddis. The episode ends with her killing another Caddis operative when he pulls his gun on her father.
I'm not really familiar with either of the lead actors. I looked through Daniel Dae Kim's filmography and I think I've seen him in a few things, but nothing where he played the lead.
The story comes from a comic book but I believe, based on a minimal amount of research, that a few things may have been changed in the process of the transformation from comic book to TV show. The most obvious thing that I can see is that in the comic book David and Rebecca are not Korean-American.
There's a lot of good action in this episode. Why did David fake his own death? What's the deal with the current head of Caddis? I'm curious to see where the show goes from here. There are just five more episodes as of right now.
