Lost: Every man for himself.

Well, we start with Desmond staring at Claire and the baby. He walks up and offers to fix her roof. Tells her to move up the beach for the night and he’ll fix it. Charlie tells him that he can fix it. Charlie Makes the comment that “we’ll have to get that guy another button to push”.

Next we have jack in his cell. Watching cartoons of swans. Jill er I mean Juliet comes in and does some psychobabble stuff. Jack tells her that he should talk with Benjamin because it seems she’s just the one who brings the food. She tries to justify herself, telling him they make the decisions together. Just then Benjamin comes in and tells her she has to come, the Sub is back…

Sawyer wakes up to people at the cell, back to work time, but the walkie talkies chime in an emergency. The woman that Sun shot last episode is taken through bleeding on a stretcher. Sawyer tells Kate that “we happened.” That the survivors shot the woman, and that this is their ticket out of there. Sawyer has a plan to use the bear stimulation machine to electrocute their captors and escape. He plans on leaving Jack behind. Then we start a nice Sawyer prison boxing match. Leaving the match they see a guy get his ass kicked, he apparently stole millions of dollars that no one ever found. Sawyer comes to him, and tells him that the warden is buttering him up to make a play for the hidden millions. The warden shows up and looks threatening and makes some general threats against Sawyer.

Back in the present… Benjamin shows up, and asks Sawyer some questions, Benjamin goes to open Sawyers cage, and Sawyer makes his play, but it doesn’t work, Benjamin shut it off. When Sawyer wakes up he’s strapped to a table, and he’s told to bite down, to deal with the pain. We overhear that since the sky turned purple they are cut off, and they have lost all comms…. They are going to be pushing some giant needle through Sawyers sternum.. “just like the movie” I’m betting pulp fiction… jack overhears through his non working comm.

Sawyer wakes up with a bandage over his heart… they bring in a white rabbit with the number 8 stenciled on its back. Benjamin shakes its cage, and hollers at it. It keels over. Sawyer asks if he killed it. Then he asks Sawyer if he knows what a pacemaker is. He explains that the rabbit had one installed and set to go off if he gets too excited. He tells Sawyer that they have a pacemaker in him that will explode when he gets excited. He has a watch on that monitors his pulse, and if it gets within 15 beats of his target he better start relaxing. They also tell him if he tells Kate they will put one in her too.

When they put Sawyer back in his cage they tell them to get washed, of course when Kate strips off Sawyers watch starts beeping and he gets near his goal.

Flashback! Sawyer is in prison, and his con shows up, and tells him that she had a baby, and that its his daughter. He freaks out and denies its his.

Back in the cages Kate tells Sawyer that if she climbs up the top she can squeeze through. He tells her not to do it, they should get the lay of the land.

Juliet rushes to jack, who is listening to Sawyer through the intercom again. She needs his help to save someone. They take him through the camp, with a bag over his head. Sawyer and Kate try to yell to him, but he can’t hear them because an alarm is being sound through the public address system. They take Jack to an operating room, and he seems someone else’s chest x-rays. Everyone but Juliet wants jack there. The woman flat lines and Juliet sort of crying tells him the paddles are broken; they haven’t ever had anything happen. Jack starts chest compressions, but they don’t help. Jack calls time of death, but there is no clock. One of the others, the one with the broken nose whose name I didn’t catch rushes to Sawyers cage. He beats him brutally, his watch ticking quite alarmingly asking Kate if she loves him. She eventually says yes and he storms off leaving Sawyer in a bloody pool.

Back in prison the thief comes to Sawyer and asks him to move the money. Sawyer tells him, no, that would make him a target…

Back in the cages…

Kate escapes her cage, squeezing out through the bars. Sawyer tells her to stop, but she refuses, and tells him that she knows he is lying. Kate tries to beat Sawyers lock open. He tells her to leave without him. “If you really love me, go” she responds with “I only said that so he would stop hitting you.” Kate crawls back in her cage.

We cut to the video room, Benjamin is watching what happened with Kate, and Danny wants to kill Sawyer

Juliet admits that she is a fertility doctor, and that the dead womans name was Cole, short for colleen. Jack tells Juliet that Cole was dead before she put her on the table. Jack tells her that he doesn’t care about making her feel better. He tells her that the x-rays outside are of a man in his 40s with a rather large tumor on his spine, and he just happens to be a spinal surgeon. He wants to know just who he is there to save.

Back at the camp. ..

Desmond gets a golf club… Then he goes and starts making something, some sort of pole with the golf club at the top and a wire wrapped around it. Hurley is cutting vegetables, and Desmond sits on his table. Hurley asks if its art, he responds that its just an experiment. Just then we get a loud clap of thunder, and it starts to rain. The baby cries, and a bolt of electricity zaps the golf club. Charlie looks at Desmond who smiles back at him.

Back in Sawyers cage Benjamin wakes Sawyer up.

Flashback to the prison. Sawyer is being led to a meeting with the warden in the gymnasium. The warden tells him that he is a dumb hick who knows how to steal. A treasury department agent is there, and Sawyer tells them where the ten million dollars is. For this service, the last six years of Sawyers prison sentence is commuted. There is also a monetary reward. They set up a bank account in Albuquerque under the name Clementine Philips.

Benjamin is taking Sawyer on a walk through the hills, to show him something… Sawyers heart monitor starts going off. Sawyer asks if they took him up there to kill him. Benjamin tells him that they never put a pacemaker in him. He even pulls the rabbit out of his bag. He nails Benjamin across the face with a pretty good left hook. When the get to the top of the mountain Benjamin shows Sawyer that they are on a small island, and that they aren’t even on the actual island anymore. Sawyers own private Alcatraz. Benjamin tells him that the only way to gain a con mans confidence is to con him… He’s really good, but they are better.

Interesting episode. Although if the facility is on another island, why were the spies able to run from the others town to the two crash sites? Are they lying to Sawyer, or is the facility on the small island, and the town on the big island? Why would they need a fertility doctor? The two islands idea might explain why the Frenchwoman was having trouble. Was there some sort of fouled up comm. System in the jungle that Sayid heard? Why do they want Sawyers respect? This show got me turned all round. The answers it delivers makes me think up more questions. Goddam them!
