 Sayid goes out to find the source of the mysterious French-language transmission. But he lands in grave danger when he finally meets the mysterious French woman, named Danielle Rousseau, who takes him captive in her hut where she tells him that she has been shipwrecked on the island for over 16 years, and it gets more inexplicably weird when she tells Sayid that there are "others" on this island. Sayid s background story is revealed about his love for a woman, named Nadia, back in 1996 while he was an interrogation officer with the Iraqi Republican Guard and was assigned to interrogate his former love about her connections to local insurgents. Meanwhile, back at shore, Hurley wants to make the life on island a little more good, and he has for help a golf bag and encourages the Jack, Michael, Charlie, and other castaways to play along with him.
