WHOOOSH back to the Temple as the Others carry Sayid across the courtyard and into the pool room. A natural spring bubbles up into an ancient room built around it with stairs leading down into the spring. Dogen kneels by the water, concerned. Something is wrong. Lennon asks why the water isn't clear, and Dogen says he doesn't know what happened. He pulls out a knife, slices his palm and holds it in the pool for a beat. When he removes it, it's still bleeding. Dogen frowns. He points to Sayid and asks who is responsible for this? Jack says he didn't shoot him but it's his fault. Dogen explains they will try to save Sayid, but there are risks. Jack tells them to do what they have to do.
"Good bye, dude. If you ever wanna talk? I'm around."Dogen directs some Others to take Sayid into the water as he turns over an hourglass filled with sand. Dogen nods – and the Others hold Sayid under the water. Jack reacts. Hurley asks if unconscious people can hold their breath. Jack says no. Sayid starts to spasm, jerking to get up, but the Others hold him under as the sand continues to fall. It's excruciating to watch. Jack tells them to let him up but they won't. The hourglass is half full. Hurley yells that they're drowning him! It's interminable, but then Sayid goes still as the sand empties. They pull Sayid up and lay him on the ground. Dogen leans over and listens. Sayid is dead.
WHOOOSH to LAX baggage claim. Kate scopes out the exits, but there are cops everywhere. Kate watches an employee cross to a locked door and enter a code. Kate sees what the code is, then after the door shuts runs over and enters the code again. The door opens, and she slips in. She runs down a back hallway and bursts outside. She's made it to freedom! But then she spots the Marshal down the way showing her mugshot to people. Kate spots a cab in front of her and dives into it. She jams the Marshal's gun into the cabbie's neck and tells him to go! Now! But there's already a person in the cab. Kate looks over and sees Claire, very pregnant, in the seat next to her. Kate doesn't know her and doesn't care – she tells the cabbie to GO, and he peels away.
