And he conveys messages in the Morse code from flickering light that he is hidden here alive. Morse code is thought as a signal which makes a communication between two persons. It has the facility to send message to others. He sends the message through that flickering light clicking it on and off. He transmits signal to his son. His son Ki-Woo who observes signals through binocular at a distance. He decodes the received code and knows that his father is still alive in the same basement.
