- Quotes
Amira: After my husband and I first arrived to Paris, I was afraid to ever leave our apartment. So I would stare out in the window into the alley, and I would see this cat looking for scraps. One day some children came into the alley and trapped him in a box. I watched them light firecrackers and drop them in the box. I could hear him howl from three stories above. So finally, I had a reason to leave my apartment. I rescued this cat and I brought him home. He sits with me when I read, sleeps with me, and he purrs. But, every once in a while, he will bite me or scratch me. He does this because sometimes he forgets that he is safe now. So I forgive him when he bites me, because I remember what it is like to never feel safe. And that is because of you. So today, I ask only one thing of you: I ask you now to show me the respect by acknowledging what you did to me. That it was you who questioned me, tortured me and that you remember me.
Sayid Jarrah: I remember you. I remember your face. Your face has haunted me ever since I left Iraq.
[crying]
Sayid Jarrah: I am sorry. I am so sorry for what I did to you. I am sorry.
Amira: I forgive you. When my husband returns, I will tell I made a terrible mistake, that it was not you, and he will release you.
Sayid Jarrah: Why? Why are you letting me go?
Amira: We are all capable of doing what those children did to this cat. But I will not do that. I will not be that.

The whole episode is basically about strategy. Mikhail and his visitors are playing a game, the Iraqi woman and her husband are playing a psychological chess match with Sayid (regardless of whether or not that was their intention), one which he eventually loses, and Locke literally plays chess on the computer at the Flame. One aspect of the episode which tends to amuse me on repeat viewings is trying to figure out if Mikhail or the survivors won the 'chess game' by the end of the episode. Sometimes I think it's a stalemate, most of the time I pick a side. Ultimately the answer would be provided by the rest of season three.
An extremely action-packed and entertaining episode with enough emotional content to keep the audience invested in the characters, and a good script. The only issue is the stagnant, redundant flashbacks but that was a general problem with the show at this point and would only be overcome later.
