The Brothers Sun S1E2 Favor for a Favor (Recap)
In episode 2 of The Brothers Sun, titled “Favor for a Favor”, Mama Sun dismembers the body of Charles after his first visit. Meanwhile, Bruce prepares for his university exam but is asked by Charles to deliver a large suitcase containing the body parts to a bald man in Arcadia. The bald man states that the condition for the body to be disposed of is to drop off a water monitor to someone in Arcadia. Charles has no intention of becoming a delivery guy but flips the script when he learns that the man they’re supposed to meet might know the identity of the attacker who attacked him in his mother’s home.
Little does Charles know, the bald man is a backstabber and leaks Charles’ location to a mystery caller, probably Sunny Chan’s men. Mama Sun sticks to her routine—mah-jong with her friends, a hair makeover, and a bit of shopping—what seems like regular jobs are her way to find the identity of the killer. The road trip to Arcadia becomes a bonding moment for the brothers, giving Bruce a chance to finally get answers to the questions that have been nagging at him.
Bruce wants to know why their father sent them away, how rich they are, and who wants to kill their family. Charles reveals that their father is a feared member of the Jade Dragon Society, a triad with roots dating back to the Qing Dynasty. The triad is systematized into different factions, each ruled by gangsters who deal with all sorts of illegal stuff and crimes. Charles continues that they’re in the crosshairs of a triad player who goes by the moniker Sunny Chan. Triad members keep it low-key, using nicknames to stay incognito and ahead of the cops.
Charles arrives at the mansion in Arcadia, and surprisingly, the owner remembers Charles from a past meeting where Charles killed a man with a pool cue. When Charles shows the killer’s head, the owner clams up and demands assurance that the Jade Dragon will protect him. Charles agrees, but before any valuable information is shared, the man is stabbed by a gang of goons decked out as dinosaurs. Thanks to Charles’ martial arts skills, the brothers once again manage to escape unharmed
