Flashback: Tikrit, Iraq. A boy is instructed by his father to kill a chicken but seems hesitant, so his younger brother Sayid breaks the chicken’s neck without hesitation. Sayid is and always has been the man.
Flash forward 1: Moscow. Sayid is sporting his pretty post-island ladykiller hair. He is chasing a man into an apartment. The man offers him wads of cash but Sayid kills him and does not take the money. After he leaves, Ben shows up and informs him that his assassination days are over. According to Ben, Sayid killed off all of Widmore’s associates who were a threat to the Oceanic 6 and those left on the island. Sayid was no longer needed by Ben, which strangely surprises and/or angers him.
Flash forward 2: Dominican Republic. Extreme Makeover, Sayid Style. He is working construction, helping to build a charitable school. Ben shows up and tells him that Locke is dead; that it was retribution for Sayid’s murdering spree. Liar pants. He then tells Sayid that he’s in danger, given how easy it was to find him, and that Hurley is being watched at the mental institution. Sayid realizes that Ben wants him to kill the man stalking the big guy, and then they argue about whether it’s in Sayid’s nature to kill. Not-so-spoiler alert: it is and he does.
Flash forward 3: Los Angeles. Sayid is drinking MacCutcheon at a fancy bar when future mystery Ajira passenger Ilana sits down nearby. Plenty of whiskey and flirting ensues. They go to a hotel room and, as Sayid is apt to do, he fails to see that his hot conquest is not who she appears to be. She kicks his ass with her long leather Alias boots, pulls out her gun and tells him that she’s been hired to take him to Guam by the family of the guy he killed on the golf course.
Ilana takes Sayid in handcuffs to the airport for Ajira flight 316. When he sees Hurley, Jack and Kate, he freaks out and asks to take a later flight. Then when Ben gets on the plane, Sayid asks Ilana if she works for him, and she denies knowing who he is.
Time Shift: 1977, on the island. Sayid is still in jail beneath Dharmaville. Little Linus brings him a sandwich and a book called “A Separate Reality.” He wants to know if Richard Alpert sent him, because Little Linus thinks Sayid is a Hostile and wants to help. Then Horace and Radzinsky try to get information out of Sayid, but he isn’t playing along. So Sheriff Sawyer gives it a try, and although he tries to convince Sayid to pretend to be a Hostile, he won’t play along with his former friend either.
Little Linus brings Sayid yet another sandwich, but Drunk Daddy Linus is mopping up near Sayid’s cell. Daddy assaults Little Linus for lying about who the sandwich is for, smashing his face and glasses against the bars.
Horace, Radzinsky, Security Nerd Phil and Sheriff Sawyer then bring Sayid to his Dharma evil equal, creepy torture expert Oldham. He lives in a tent on the outskirts of Dharmaville. Oldham forces Sayid to swallow a hallucinogenic laced sugar cube. Sayid then giggles like a school girl, tells them that he’s from the future, that he lived on the island for 100 days, and that he knew about the Flame, Pearl and Swan hatches and their purposes. Radzinsky’s head just about explodes, because his precious Swan hasn’t been built yet and he thinks Sayid is a spy. But no one really believes any of what Sayid said.
So the important residents of Dharmaville meet to discuss what to do with Sayid. Radzinsky suggests killing him, and that is supported by new mom Amy, so everyone agrees. Sawyer goes to warn Sayid and allow him to escape, but Sayid refuses because he understands his purpose for returning to the island. Uh oh.
Back at Chez Suliet, Juliet expresses concern to Sawyer that the return of Hurley, Jack and Kate will disrupt their new Dharma lives. Meanwhile, Dharma Chef Hurley informs Kate that Juliet and Sawyer are together. So when Juliet shows Kate around her new mechanic work digs, Kate tells her that she knows. Awkward! Although I wanted Juliet to shove her against a truck and threaten her to stay away from her man, she simply expresses relief instead. Yawn.
But later that night, Saywer goes to Kate’s house to find out why she came back to the island. In true Lost style, a flaming Dharma van goes flying by before we find out her answer. Little Linus set it up so that he could release Sayid while everyone tended to the van, which crashed into a house and set it ablaze. They take off into the jungle but Jin sees them, so Sayid knocks him out before he can report to Sawyer via walkie. Little Linus is impressed, but Sayid tells him something that Future Linus told him…that he is a killer. Sayid then shoots Little Linus in the chest and runs away.
And that is the twisted tale of the torturer from Tikrit.

Very ridiculous Russia. Bull sh*t. There is no such cars in Russia. May be in 30 were. Numbers on the cars belong to the city Penza (Not Moscow). I did not laugh so for a long time. ))) The newspaper "PRAVDA" is not issued already. Any way thanks you, dear american fellows, that there was no poster with Lenin. )
Also, I do not recognize character Said. It's not him. Hmm… Who is he now? He is someone else.
