Recon

The Man in Black sends Sawyer on a mission. Hydra island. The Others' old base. See what's happening there. Sawyer accepts. He plays along. For now.

On Hydra, Sawyer finds a camp. Bodies. And a woman. Zoe. She claims to be the only survivor of a plane crash. Sawyer sees through her in thirty seconds. "You don't know how to lie." Zoe works for Widmore. Widmore's submarine is anchored offshore.

Sawyer boards the sub. He meets Widmore. Deal. "I bring you the Man in Black. In exchange, my friends and I leave the island." Widmore agrees. Sawyer returns to the Man in Black. He tells him everything. "Widmore wants to trap you." Double game.

Then Sawyer talks to Kate. The truth. "I'm not with either of them. While they fight, we'll take the submarine. And we'll leave." Sawyer plays everyone. Like always. But this time, it's to save the people he loves.

In the other reality, Sawyer is a cop. Detective James Ford. LAPD. With Miles as his partner. He's searching for the man who destroyed his family. Anthony Cooper. He hustles. He lies. Even in another world, Sawyer wears the mask.

A woman crashes into him with her car. Fleeing. He catches up to her. It's Kate. Handcuffed. Fugitive. They look at each other. A flash of recognition. Even in this reality, they find each other.
