Torture or the Button
Hurley finds the frog and goes for it, but trips and the frog jumps. Sawyer catches it. Hurley suggests that Sawyer give him the frog so he can take it far away and maybe he'll find a Mrs. Tree Frog."Yeah, that's one idea," Sawyer says. "Here's another." He clinches the frog, squishing it to death in his hand.
"Dude," Hurley says.
"I hear with a little ranch, they taste just like chicken," Sawyer says.
Rich Henry
Jack cleans up the blood and puts his tools away. "Where are the pliers?" Jack asks Locke.Inside the armory Sayid asks about the balloon. Henry had it because he was rich and Jennifer thought it would be neat.
"You were rich?" Sayid asks.
"I guess I'm thinking of things in the past tense now. How's that for optimism?" Henry says.
Henry answers only what Sayid asks, saying he owned a mining company and that he buried his wife in the jungle by the balloon.
"How deep?"
Henry says he doesn't remember.
"How deep?" Sayid says. "How many shovels full of earth? Did you use your hands? How long did it take you?"
"I don't remember," Henry says.
"You would remember!" Sayid says. "You would remember how deep. You would remember every shovelful, every moment. You would remember what it felt like to place her body inside. You would remember if you buried the woman you loved. You would remember, if it were true!"
"Did you lose someone here on the island?" Henry asks.
"It was an accident," Sayid says.
Sayid moves toward Henry and Henry says, "This is all a mistake. Hurting me isn't going to bring her back!"
Sayid repeatedly punches Henry.
Outside the door, Jack yells for Sayid. He tells Locke to open the door but Locke says that this has to happen.
Jack pushes Locke against the wall and says, "Open that damn door, you understand me? You open it now!"
"No," Locke says.
The timer alarm begins to blip. Inside, Henry is begging, "What do you want me to say?"
Sayid continues to beat him and says, "I want you to tell me the truth!"
Outside the door, Locke tells Jack to let go of him.
"Or what?" Jack says. "You want to push the button? Open the door."
The timer alarm changes to the more insistent sound.
"It's under a minute now, John. You better think fast."
"You wouldn't," Locke says.
"You talked me into pushing that button once, John, but it's yours now. You're the one who won't risk it, you. Me? I don't think anything is going to happen when we get down to zero."
"Jack!" Locke yells.
Locke says okay and Jack lets him go. He opens the armory and Locke runs to the computer. He types in the numbers, but types 16 in twice and has to backspace. The timer hits zero and starts spinning around. Something starts up in the hatch. The timer shows hieroglyphs in black and red. Four of them lock into place. Locke enters the last number and hits the execute button and the timer resets.
Jack struggles with Sayid and tells him to stop. Sayid says Henry is lying. Jack gets Sayid out and closes the armory with Henry inside alone. "He is one of them," Sayid says.
Jack says, "I think that Rousseau thought that about you once, Sayid. If I'm not mistaken, she strapped you down, she shocked you, all because she thought you were one of them."
"He is," Locke says. "To Rousseau, we're all Others. I guess it's all relative, huh?"
