Jack's Flashback - What's His Name?

Jack goes into a big building. Sarah asks where his lawyer is. He says he fired him. He begins to apologize to Sarah, but her phone rings and she walks a short distance and answers it. She says that he just got there and then gives a little giggle.

She sits on the couch next to Jack and says, "I'll try to say this as simply as I can--"

"What's his name?"

"Jack stop."

Jack presses, even though she continues to ask him to stop. He says she can have everything, the house, the cars, he just wants to know the name of the man who's with his wife.

She gets up and walks away.

Jack's Friends

Jack's yelling. He wants to know where his friends are. Juliet says she'll tell him if he gets down from the table.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" he asks.

She says she thinks he's stubborn.

Kate's Dress

Kate comes out of the shower and goes to a locker. "Hey," she yells, "where are my clothes?"

She sees a piece of tape on a locker that says, Wear this.

She puts on the dress and looks like a new person. Tom comes in and Kate looks self conscious. "Come on," he says, "he's waiting."

He takes her outside and some men follow as they walk down stairs. They come out of the jungle and onto a beach where non-Henry sits under a canopy. He is nicely dressed and the table is set with a white table cloth, plates and utensils, coffee, fruit, eggs, and handcuffs.

He tells her to put the cuffs on. "And if I don't?" she says.

"Then you don't get any coffee." She puts them on and he tells her to make them tighter.

"What did you do with Sawyer and Jack?"

"Now why Sawyer?"

"Why Sawyer what?"

"First one you asked about. What did you do with Sawyer and Jack?"

"You don't know me."

"Of course I don't."

"I want my clothes back."

"We burned them." He takes a bite.

"Why did you bring me here? Why did you make me put on this dress. Why are you feeding me breakfast?"

"I brought you here so that you would look out at the water and feel comforted. Comforted that your friends were looking out at the same water. I gave you the dress so that you'd feel like a lady. And I wanted you to eat your food with a real live fork and feel civilized. I did all those things so that you would have something nice to hold onto, because, Kate, the next two weeks are going to be very unpleasant."

Jack's Flashbacks - Sarah's Cell Phone

Jack is on the phone in his office. He says, "I met a woman on the train, Sarah, and she dropped her cell phone, and I don't even know her last name, but your number was in her phone."

Christian Shephard walks in and looks at the desk. He wants to know why Jack is dialing all the numbers in Sarah's cell phone?"

"Because one of them is him."

Christian hangs up the phone. "You've got to stop this, Jack."

Jack dials again. "Not until I know his name, where he works, where he lives, where they first kissed, I want to know what it is about him--"

Christian's cell phone rings and he opens it. Christian looks caught and Jack looks at him, hanging up the phone. "Why is Sarah calling you, Dad?"

"I think it's time that you let this go."

"Why is she calling?"

"Because she was afraid, for you."

Jack yells, "I want to know, exactly, why the hell she would call you."

"She could see that you were slipping, that you were losing your grip!"

Jack says his grip is not the problem and Christian says that he knows a little something about being obsessive. Jack says that being a drunk is not being obsessive. Christian nods and walks out. He turns at the door and says, "Let it go, Jack."
