SAYID - "I torture because I feel no guilt"
We know Sayid's past has been full of pain and grieve. From his past, he worked in the republican guard as a torturer, torturing people he actually loved like Nadia and innocent people who later came back with revenge. Then on the island Sayid loses Shannon, who was killed due to an accident but it could have also been the island it self. Sayid promised himself never to torture after the asthma incident, but after Shannon's death, the emotional baggage, he needed someone to take his anger out, connecting to his deep and secret past of torture. That someone became Henry Gale, a new character introduced by Rousseau who claims, he is one the 'others'. Uncertain about Rousseau's claim and if Henry Gale is actually telling the truth, Sayid uses this opportunity to torture in order to find the truth but more important release his pain from Shannon's death.
In this episode we learn that Kate's father was the marine responsible for Sayid's capture. There has been several incidences where the lives of each one on the island has in some or another way intersected before. What does this mean? We also learn that Sayid learned his torture skills from the American commander who persuaded him to find the whereabouts of the missing pilot from his commanding officer no matter what. Is Sayid inherently a torturer or is it merely his lack of overcoming his past sins?
Locke - "We are at war Jack"
The mysterious Henry Gale has brought greater tension between Jack and Locke. Both are at odds on what to do with their new prisoner. What if Henry Gale is really telling the truth or what if he is really one of the 'others'. How can they find the truth? When Locke couldn't punch in the numbers on time, the clock turned all red with strange symbols. Is the computer room really a bogus experiment or the destroyer of the planet?
