Sawyer's Flashback - The Long Con
Cassidy is in her home. A suitcase full of money sits on the dining room table. Sawyer comes in the front door and he is very upset. Cassidy asks what happened.Sawyer points out the black car outside. He says, "His name is Gordy. He's my partner."
"Partner?" Cassidy says.
Sawyer tells Cassidy that he knew about the 600 grand and she was the long con. She gets upset and hits him and screams at him.
Sawyer says, "You can hate me all you want later, but right now you've got to listen to me. He's going to kill us because I told him I wasn't going to take your money."
Cassidy believes him and Sawyer looks outside at the car again. He starts putting the money into a duffel bag and tells Cassidy to go to Sioux City and to wait for him at a hotel. He gives her the duffel bag and says he'll be there in the morning.
Cassidy wants to pack a few things, but Sawyer says she has to go right now. "I love you," he tells her.
You Run, I Con
Kate finds Sawyer polishing a rifle. She asks how he did that and Sawyer pretends not to know what she's talking about. "Locke says that he left you in the hatch when he went to hide the guns, and we both know you can't track worth a damn. So, how'd you get them?"Sawyer says, "A magician never tells his secrets."
"You played us," Kate says. "You played me. All that stuff you said about Ana-Lucia, you knew I'd go to Jack, and you knew I'd ask you to go to Locke."
"Now how in the world would I know that?" Sawyer asks.
"Did you have anything to do with Sun?" he wants to know.
"What kind of a person do you think I am?"
She thinks he is the kind of person that wants people to hate him. "Why do you have to do this?"
He says, "You run, I con. Tigers don't change their stripes."
Further down the beach, Hurley reads a manuscript called Bad Twin by Gary Troup. Sayid comes up and Hurley says, "Check this out. I found a manuscript in one of the suitcases. It's like a mystery book."
"I want to show you something," Sayid says and shows him the radio.
"Cool, you fixed it," Hurley says.
"We'll see," Sayid says and sets up a pole and puts the radio on top. He changes the dial and gets Rousseau's signal and then finds spotty reception to WXO radio station. Sayid says it can be coming from anywhere.
"Or anytime," Hurley jokes.
Sawyer's Side-Kick
Sawyer walks through the dark jungle to where Charlie is. "He never saw you, huh?" Sawyer asks.Charlie says, "He was more worried about his sodding guns than being followed."
Sawyer offers Charlie a Virgin Mary statue. Charlie says, "If I wanted them, I would have taken them before I told you where they were. That's not why I did it. I wanted him to look like a fool, feel like a fool."
"Well, well," Sawyer says, "It looks like Johnny Locke's got himself a nemesis."
"Sun can never find out what I did to her. Never," Charlie says.
"Don't sweat it," Sawyer says. "They've got bigger things to worry about now."
Charlie wonders how Sawyer thought up the plan.
