History
After being witnessed by a young surfer Sean Jones when brutally beating U.S. Prosecutor Daniel Hayes to death before he escaped the crime scene on his dirt bike in Hawaii, he devised a plan to put a time-release crate full of venomous snakes inside the cargo hold of a Boeing 747-400 jet airliner South Pacific Air Flight 121 in order to prevent Sean (who was escorted by 2 FBI agents Neville Flynn and John Sanders) from reaching Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and testifying against him in a trail in LA.

It is hinted at the end that he will be executed on multiple accounts of murder and attempted murder due to putting snakes on the plan and putting every passenger and crew member's life in mortal danger after everyone including the snakebite victims made a safe emergency landing to the LAX terminal and were given a supply of antivenoms recovered from a man in Los Angeles named Kraitler who is responsible for a large illegal collection of rare snakes from all over the globe and have a crate of those snakes aboard Flight 121 under Eddie Kim's orders.
