He is one of them.
[to Henry] I was 23 years old when the Americans came to my country. I was a good man. I was a soldier. And when they left, I was something different. For the next six years, I did things I wish I could erase from my memory, things which I never thought myself to be capable of. But I did come to learn this. There is a part of me that I'm always capable of. You want to know who I am? [pause] My name is Sayid Jarrah...and I am a torturer.
[Shouting at Henry] YOU WOULD REMEMBER HOW DEEP! YOU WOULD REMEMBER EVERY SHOVELFUL, EVERY MOMENT! You would remember what it felt like to place her body inside. You would remember if you buried the woman you loved... YOU WOULD REMEMBER, [quiets and sobs] if it were true!
[four minute warning alarm is sounding]
[to Locke] Open the door.
Let go of me Jack.
Or what? You wanna push the button? Open the door.
[one minute warning alarm blares]
It's under a minute now John, you better think fast.
You wouldn't.
What? I "wouldn't" what?
If we don't... you would risk everyone's lives?
You talked me into pushing that button once John, but it's yours now. You're the one who won't risk it. You. Me? I don't think anything's going to happen when we get down to zero.
[struggling] Jack-
You wanna see what's gonna happen? Let's just SEE what's gonna happen!
Why don't you shut up, Hammo. Or your ranch disorder's going to be the new lead item on the coconut internet.
What do you want?!
[punches "Henry"] I WANT YOU TO TELL ME THE TRUTH!
But there's no way that I could explain this to Locke and Jack for they have already forgotten.
Forgotten what?
That you were strung up by your neck and left for dead. That they kidnapped Claire and she was gone for weeks during which God only knows what happened to her. That these people, these Others are merciless and will stop at nothing to get what they want. So, tell me Charlie, have you forgotten?
[to Sayid] Your English is good, Abdul, but you're lying. And that ain't so good. [knocks Sayid out]
There is a man down in the Hatch. A stranger captured by Rousseau. I beat him. I beat him badly.
Why are you telling me this, Sayid?
Jack asked me how I knew -- knew for sure that this man was lying. How I knew for sure that he was one of them -- one of the Others. I know because I feel no guilt for what I did to him. -- But there is no way I can ever explain that to Jack, or even Locke, because both of them have forgotten.
Forgotten? What?
That you were strung up by your neck and left for dead. That Claire was taken and kept for days during which god only know what happened to her. That these people -- these Others -- are merciless, and can take any one of us whenever they choose. So tell me, Charlie, have you forgotten?
