Plot summary

In Eko's childhood, guerrillas try to force his brother Yemi to kill a man, but Eko does it for him and is initiated. Eko grows into a fearsome warlord and presses Yemi, now a priest, to ordain him and his men so they can hijack a relief flight and smuggle heroin, which they hide in Virgin Mary statues. Yemi calls the military, who shoot him when he tries to shield Eko. Eko's man takes Yemi and leaves without him, and he is mistaken for a priest by the military. In the present, Eko learns from Claire that Charlie has a statue, and he shows her the heroin inside.

He demands Charlie show him the Beechcraft and they encounter the smoke monster along the way, which Eko stares down. They reach the plane and Eko finds Yemi's body. He gives Charlie another statue before burning the plane. Claire rejects Charlie when he returns, and he hides the statue with others he has collected.
