 Sayid, Locke, Kate and Rousseau trek towards the Others' camp.Sayid comes across...a cow.In the jungle.That's strange.And then he hears a distant whistle.He follows the cow and discovers a farmhouse, which has a huge satellite dish.Then Sayid sees Patchy, the one-eyed man they saw in the Pearl station monitors.Sayid decides to go up and talk to Patchy.Locke and Kate will stay behind and cover him.But Rousseau has survived on the island by avoiding these types of confrontations and slinks back into the jungle.
FLASHBACK to Paris, where Sayid works in a restaurant under the name Najeev.A customer, Sami, congratulates him on the food, and asks where he's from.Sayid initially denies he is Iraqi, but Sami is also Iraqi.He owns a nicer restaurant and wants Sayid to come work for him.When Sayid visits, Sami's wife, Amira, identifies him as "the one."Sayid is taken prisoner and beaten unconscious.
At the beach camp, Sawyer discovers everyone playing ping-pong with a walnut.He has a ping-pong ball, but he won't give it to them because they took his stuff while he was gone.
His challenge: he'll play them and when he wins, he gets all his stuff back.And if he loses?Well, that ain't happening, but he concedes to no nicknames for a week.
Sayid approaches the farmhouse.Immediately, he is shot in the shoulder.Patchy yells that they had a truce, he didn't cross the line.When Patchy comes out to check on Sayid, Locke and Kate move and hold him at gun point.Patchy tells them he is Mikhail Bakunin, and he's the last living member of the Dharma Initiative.
Mikhail takes Sayid inside so he can remove the bullet from his shoulder.Kate grabs the medical kit while Locke explores the place.Mikhail explains he's been on the island for eleven years living alone in the farmhouse, which they call the Flame station.Its purpose is to communicate with the outside world.All the Dharma members died in a foolishly initiated war with the Hostiles.They called it the Purge.Mikhail survived by not participating.After it was over, the Hostiles told him he could live if he never left the valley.
It was a line he could not cross.
WHOOSH to Paris, where Sayid is shackled in a storage room.Sami confronts him and wants him to admit he tortured Amira.Sayid denies it, but Sami doesn't believe him.Amira definitely remembers Sayid's face.If Sayid won't admit he tortured Amira, Sami will kill him.
In the Flame station, Locke finds the computer room.On the computer a chess game awaits.Locke can't help himself and sits down to play.Mikhail warns him the game cheats.Locke laughs it off and keeps playing.
After the bullet is removed from his shoulder, Sayid notices a cat pawing at a rug.Kate confides to Sayid that the Others wouldn't leave Mikhail here with all this equipment.Sayid agrees, and believes Mikhail is not part of Dharma but one of the Others...and he isn't alone.Sayid continues to question Mikhail.It's tense, and then Mikhail attacks Sayid.Locke rushes out from the computer room as Kate smashes a chair over Mikhail and knocks him unconscious.Sayid says since the horse outside was saddled, someone else must be here.
