Plot summary
Sayid is detained by the CIA and offered Nadia's location in exchange for him infiltrating a Sydney terrorist cell. He meets his old friend Essam Tasir, who is chosen to do a suicide bombing that the CIA tells Sayid to let happen so they can find the cell's explosives. He tells Essam of his deception, who commits suicide. The CIA point him to Nadia in California, but he delays his flight by a day so he can claim and bury Essam. In the present, Locke tries to eulogize Boone at his funeral, leaving Shannon furious.
She asks Sayid to kill him, and as he leads Locke into the jungle, he admits that he was the one who attacked him but convinces him of his innocence regarding Boone. Shannon steals a gun and tries to kill Locke, but he is saved by Sayid, who later demands he be taken to the hatch.
