15. "I grew up in Kiev and joined the Soviet Army. I was stationed at a listening post at Vladivostok. After the Cold War, after we lost the Cold War, my unit was decommissioned. I was dismissed from my life in the military. And after years of conducting unpleasant actions against our enemies, I found myself wanting to do something good. So I replied to a newspaper advertisement." Mikhail "An advertisement?" Sayid "Would you like to save the world? it read. That’s how I met them, the Initiative. They’re very secretive, very rich, very smart." Mikhail "So, when did you come to the island?" Sayid "11 years now. I like computers, communications equipment, being along like a lighthouse keeper. So they put me in this station. They called it The Flame." Mikhail "What is the purpose of the flame?" Sayid " To communicate with the outside world, of course."

26.

Amira says that's enough for today.
29. Sayid and Kate go underground, while Locke watches Mikhail, the entire place is wire with C4, Sayid finds Dharma Initiative Operations Manuals. From Lostpedia
30. Locke beats the chess game, you win, checkmate, a video begins with Dr. Marvin Candle, "Manual override complete. For pallet drop enter 24. For station uplink enter 32. For mainland communication enter 38." Locke enters 38, "The satellite dish is inoperable. Communications are down. For sonar access enter 56." Locke presses 56, "Sonar is inoperable.

From Lostpedia
34. Hurley beat Sawyer badly in ping pong, tells him his mom had a table in her basement, played a lot in the instu--this place he hung out at, gives him back one of his Playboy magazines, tells him that Kate's going to be okay, she's with Locke and Sayid.
35. Locke is looking at the computer again, Kate is downstairs, Sayid questions Mikhail, who admits he wasn't a member of the Dharma Initiative, but says that everything else was true. Rousseau wants to kill him, but Sayid says they're collecting whatever is useful from the house, they have a ticket to where the Others live, they can find her daughter, Jack and maybe a way home.
36. Mikhail says that he won't help them, but Sayid has a map to the barracks. From Lostpedia
37. "I didn’t say you were our ticket, did I? This is a map showing electrical and data cabling running from The Flame, here, to a place called The Barracks, here. It’s comprised of houses and dormitories, with water and power large enough to accommodate an entire community. Sounds like a place well worth visiting, don’t you think?" Sayid
38. Mikhail says Sayid will have his guard down, and he won't hesitate to kill him.
39. Sami's wife, Amira, visits Sayid with a similar cat to the one from The Flame.
40. "After my husband and I first arrived in Paris, I was afraid to ever leave our apartment. So I would stare out in the window into the alley, and I would see this cat looking for scraps. One day some children came into the alley and trapped him in a box. I watched them light firecrackers and drop them in the box. I could hear him howl from three stories above. So finally, I had a reason to leave my apartment. I rescued this cat and I brought him home. He sits with me when I read, sleeps with me, and he purrs. But, every once in a while, he will bite me or scratch me. He does this because sometimes he forgets that he is safe now. So I forgive him when he bites me, because I remember what it is like to never feel safe. And that is because of you. So today, I ask only one thing of you: I ask you now to show me the respect by acknowledging what you did to me. That it was you who questioned me, tortured me and that you remember me." Amira From Lostpedia
41. "I remember you. I remember your face. Your face has haunted me ever since I left Iraq. I am sorry. I am so sorry for what I did to you. I am sorry." Sayid
42. Amira forgives Sayid, says she'll tell her husband she was wrong, she made a mistake, that it wasn't him, that they're all capable of doing what the children did to her cat, but she won't do that, won't be that.
43. Rousseau says they should kill Mikhail, but Sayid wont kill him, Locke and Kate show up. Locke says he knows why Mikhail didn't want him to beat the game, The Flame explodes. From Lostpedia
44. "What have you done, John? That place was our one hope of communication with the outside world!" Sayid "The computer said that if there was an incursion of the station by The Hostiles, I should enter 77. So I entered 77." Locke
45. Sayid says they should leave, the explosion will attract attention, he sees the grey cat again.

Questions:

1. How did objects explode out of the hatch when it imploded?
2. How could Sayid live in Paris and not know a lick of French?
3. Why were the codes on the computer in The Flame hidden behind a chess game?
4. Was Mikhail really a member of the Dharma Initiative?
5. Why would Mikhail tell a story that was partly true?
6. Why would Sayid say the horse was saddled for someone much shorter than Mikhail?
7. Did anything happen besides an explosion when Locke entered 77?
8. Who occupied The Flame before Mikhail?

2. "We’ve been walking for two days, following a compass bearing provided by the carvings on a stick!" Sayid

9. "Uh uh. It’s Hurley. Or Hugo if you want." Hurley "Get bent, Hugo." Sawyer

Notes:

1. The Flame station's name foreshadows its ultimate fate.
2. This is where my severe thoughts of time looping began, with Paris and the grey cat.
3. One of my favorite bloopers is from the Season 3 DVD, perhaps my favorite ever, where Naveen Andrews exaggeratedly says, "Not every nook and cranny, John!"

3. This is the first time we see Henry Gale, or Benry. What were we getting ourselves into, Benjamin Linus?
4. The Sayid and Henry Gale scenes are so powerful, kudos to Naveen Andrews and Michael Emerson. I really love those scenes.
5. The apparent whispers when Jack is pulling Sayid off of Henry Gale, From Dark UFO: Too close (Right after Henry says “I’ll tell you whatever you want”). Don't talk to them (Behind "He's lying"). That guy's stupid (Behind "He's lying"). I'd never let them beat me. I protect my people. What do you want to do? (Very faint) Don't let them break you, Henry (Very faint). Who told you they're gone? Think carefully now. How are we gonna save Henry? You can't save him. I can hear you. What have I got to do? Try to save Henry (I can't see you).
6. The whispers when the countdown clock hits zero, From Dark UFO: (Center Channel) Let go of Henry. Can we (just) abort? I warned him not to do it. Can't do it from the shelter (south)? Can't move him ? Hello? Apparently they have done this before. Time to get another. I've decided to go with this (I want to see it). We'll decide. (Center Channel Fast)Stop him. That'll do (I'll go). I would have saved him but she ran into him. We need a torturer (Silence). Control of his buddy (Silence). You've heard them fighting for control? All over. (Center Channel Super Fast) What are they going to do to Henry in there?(Silence) Plan something. He got busted. It's not over (This part was a different speed than the rest). Obviously he knows something. Drop the (blast) door. It's gone wrong (In background). Don't set 'em free. (Left & Right Channel) You tell him what to do. Is he crawling? Why don't you tell him who you are? Thought I could get you to them. It's not over. Who called the doctor? (Left & Right Channel Fast) I don't think he'll be able to con them. Boy, that makes you confident. Is that computer on? How long has it gone for?(Combined with music) He's fine (Combined with music). (Left Channel Super Fast) Stand up so they'll call it off. Who are you caring about? He don't work. We wanted to share it. (Right Channel Super Fast) Somehow we will go and reach him. From here it wasn't so great.
7. The whispers during the interrogation/torture scene, From Dark UFO: Maybe we should have stopped it/him. Try to execute. We've got to see if we can get through to him (Sayid: Tell me about this balloon). Get off for a second (Henry: What?). Something's blocking it. It's right beside him (Sayid: This balloon that brought you here with your wife). Go ahead and do it. Might have heard from him. My eyes hurt (Henry: What do you want to know). Is he gonna give it away? He's interrogating him (Sayid: Everything). Calmly begin speaking and act completely. So, it's okay. We can get you through this ordeal. We are minding the radio (Henry: She's a hundred and forty feet high, sixty feet wide.) It ain't sixty feet. It can't be much taller than that, maybe a hundred footer (Henry: and when she's up in the air, 550,000 cubic feet of helium.) Clearly he thought you were on top if it. Clearly he's not too on top of it. That gives more to do. (Henry: And if you could look down on her.) He's on to him. Probably blew it. (Henry: you'd see a.) So, he buys it. He played him. (Henry: big yellow smiley face on top) It's not quite ready. I need help. They don't believe him. (Sayid: Why would you travel in that way?) Tell him "for my business." Why else would he do it? (Henry: Because I was rich.) Any country might have fit. Just stay calm and he won't hurt you. (Henry: It was my dream.) I know you're doing something. Screwed something up. He "beeped" it up. I don't know how else to put it.
