[Mod post: Transcript of NPC scene of what's occurring elsewhere in the current timeline to refresh current players and let anyone interested in picking up one of these canon characters know where these characters currently are.]
Sayid had come across a cable running into the ocean coming from the jungle. He left the line of the beach to follow into the jungle. He pauses when he notices a tripwire and carefully steps over it. A rope moves through the jungle floor and Sayid's ankles are caught in a trap. The momentum of his swing into upside down position sends him forward into a tree where a branch impales his leg.
A little while passes and Sayid has calmed himself. He hangs upside down, praying. He hears something.
SAYID: Hello? Hello?
From his vantage point, he sees only a knife cutting the rope. He falls, and sees someone wearing army green cargo pants, carrying the knife coming toward him before he loses consciousness.

The rest of the morning passes uneventfully.
It is now early afternoon.

[Mod post: Transcript of NPC scene of what's occurring elsewhere in the current timeline to refresh current players and let anyone interested in picking up one of these canon characters know where these characters currently are.]
[Shot of an "interrogation" light. We hear a bunch of voices/languages asking "Where is Alex?" (The voice may just be one voice slowing, morphing into Rousseau's voice as Sayid is coming to. It's like the voice is becoming clearer through a fog). Sayid is tied to a metal bed frame.]
SAYID: What? Who are you?
DANIELLE: Where is Alex?
SAYID: I don't know what you're talking about.
DANIELLE: Where is Alex?
SAYID: Please listen...
DANIELLE: Where is Alex?
SAYID: I don't know any Alex.
[Sayid gets electrocuted again.]
SAYID: Stop!
[Shot of Sayid being electrocuted.]
SAYID: Please just listen to me! I keep telling you I don't know who Alex is! I'm a survivor of a plane crash. I found a wire on the beach, I followed it. I thought it might have something to do with the transmission we picked up on our receiver. A recording, a mayday, with a French woman repeating on a loop for 16 years.
DANIELLE: Si quelqu'un m'entend, je vous en prie, venez à notre aide... Il les a tués. Il les a tous tués... [Translation - If anybody hears me, please, come to our rescue... It (or-He-) killed them. It (or -He-) killed them ALL] [coming out of the shadows] 16 years. Has it really been that long?
SAYID: You.
DANIELLE: You just happened to hear my distress call? I know what you are. [She knocks him out with the butt of a rifle.]
A little while later...
[Shot of Rousseau's place, she's going through Sayid's backpack. There's a big book in it. Sayid is looking around and sees a jacket with the name Rousseau on it.]
SAYID: Rousseau.
DANIELLE: How do you know my name?
SAYID: I read it. There, on the jacket.
[Rousseau has Sayid's photos from his pack.]
SAYID: What is this place? Those batteries -- they wouldn't be able to produce enough power to transmit your distress call all these years.
DANIELLE: It broadcasts from somewhere else. But they control it now.
SAYID: They?
DANIELLE: You. And the others like you.
SAYID: I don't know who you think I am. I've already told you I'm not...
DANIELLE: Sayid?
SAYID: How do you know my name?
DANIELLE: My name was on a jacket, your's is on the envelope you carry. Who is she? The woman in the photographs.
SAYID: Nadia. Her name is Nadia.
[Shot of a old bullet wound on Sayid's leg back at Danielle's place.]
DANIELLE: You have a bullet wound.
SAYID: I was a soldier.
DANIELLE: You were. And are you still?
SAYID: That was a long time ago.
DANIELLE: Tell me more about her, the woman -- Nadia.
SAYID: Alex. Who is he?
[Shot of Danielle at her place.]
DANIELLE: So, you heard my transmission -- came looking for me, for answers?
SAYID: I didn't know you were alive.
DANIELLE: Still lying.
SAYID: I'm not lying.
DANIELLE: Lies!
SAYID: Nothing...
DANIELLE: Like this plane crash which you survived. You claim there were others?
SAYID: More than 40, yes.
DANIELLE: Then why are you alone?
SAYID: I left them.
DANIELLE: Why?
SAYID: There was -- I did something, something I'm ashamed of.
DANIELLE: But Nadia, you left her, too?
SAYID: She wasn't on the plane. She's dead -- because of me.
DANIELLE: [putting her hand on his face] I'm so sorry. I want to show you something.
A little bit later...
[We see Danielle’s music box.]
DANIELLE: It's a music box, but it's broken. It has been for a long time. It was a gift from my love for our anniversary.
SAYID: You mean Alex?
DANIELLE: Robert. This was such a comfort to me in the first few years here.
SAYID: I could fix it for you. I could take a look at it, if you freed my hands. [Danielle gets up quickly.] I'm very good with mechanical things. I need my hands.
[Danielle gets a syringe, scrapes it with sandpaper, and fills it with some medication.]
DANIELLE: What is written on the back of your photograph?
SAYID: What are you doing?
DANIELLE: Did she write it? Or did you? Perhaps you don't want to tell me because it causes too much pain.
SAYID: Rousseau, you don't need to do that.
[Shot of Danielle giving him the injection.]
A little bit later...
[We see Sayid unconscious, chained to chair. He suddenly wakes up.]
DANIELLE: Sorry about the sedative. It was the only safe way for me to move you. You offered to fix my music box after all I've done to you -- striking you, shocking you. Why?
SAYID: Do you want me to fix your music box, or don't you?
DANIELLE: Yes. Yes, please.
SAYID: Then I want to know your name. Your first name.
DANIELLE: Danielle. My name is Danielle.
SAYID: [working on the music box] And how did you come to be on this Island, Danielle?
[Danielle sighs and looks like she doesn't want to talk about it, but she will as if for the price of the music box.]
DANIELLE: We were part of a science team.
SAYID: A science team armed with rifles? Was Robert on the team?
DANIELLE: Yes.
SAYID: And Alex, was he, too?
DANIELLE: Our vessel was 3 days out of Tahiti when our instruments malfunctioned. It was night, a storm, the sounds. The ship slammed into rocks, ran aground, the hull breached beyond repair. So, we made camp, dug out this temporary shelter. Temporary. Nearly 2 months we survived here, 2 months before --
SAYID: Your distress signal? The message I heard, you said, "It killed them all."
DANIELLE: We were coming back from the Black Rock. It was them. They were the carriers.
SAYID: Who were the carriers?
DANIELLE: The others.
SAYID: What others? What is the Black Rock? Have you seen other people on this Island?
DANIELLE: No, but I hear them. Out there, in the jungle. They whisper. [Long Pause.] You think I'm insane.
SAYID: I think you've been alone for too long.
A little bit later...
[Shot of Sayid in Danielle's place with the working music box.]
SAYID: You see, some things can be fixed.
DANIELLE: Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
SAYID: Danielle, please let me go.
DANIELLE: Go?
SAYID: Back to the people I told you about.
DANIELLE: You can't. You have to stay. It's not safe.
SAYID: Not safe, what's not safe?
DANIELLE: You need me! You can't leave.
SAYID: Danielle...
[They hear sounds outside and Danielle picks up a rifle and heads to the hatch.]
SAYID: Where are you going?
DANIELLE: If we're lucky, it's one of the bears.
SAYID: If we're lucky? It might be that thing out there -- the monster.
DANIELLE: There's no such thing as monsters.

[Shot of Sayid in jungle. He levels his rifle at Danielle.]
SAYID: Put the gun down, Danielle. Put it down on the ground.
[She doesn't, she levels her rifle at him.]
SAYID: Don't. Please, I don't wish to hurt you.
DANIELLE: You already have.
SAYID: Don't.
[Sayid fires, but nothing happens.]
DANIELLE: The firing pin has been removed. Robert didn't notice it was missing, either -- when I shot him.
SAYID: But you loved him.
DANIELLE: He was sick.
SAYID: Sick?
DANIELLE: It took them, one after the other. I had no choice. They were already lost.
SAYID: You killed them?
DANIELLE: What would have happened if we were rescued? I couldn't let that happen. I won't!
[Sayid throws the rifle down.]
SAYID: I'm not sick.
DANIELLE: I know.
SAYID: Then why kill me?
DANIELLE: I can't let you go. Don't you understand, to have someone to talk to, to touch --
SAYID: "You'll find me in the next life if not in this one."
DANIELLE: What?
SAYID: The writing on the back of Nadia's photograph. I know what it's like to hold on to someone. I've been holding on for the past 7 years to just a thought, a blind hope that somewhere she's still alive. But the more I hold on, the more I pull away from those around me. The only way out of this, this place, is with their help. Come with me. You don't have to be alone, Danielle.
DANIELLE: Your people -- the ones you're determined to get back to -- watch them, watch them closely.
SAYID: Danielle, who is Alex?
DANIELLE: Alex was my child.
