When they reach their apartment, Sayid notices that the piece of Scotch tape he placed atop the door has been broken. He shoves Hurley away, approaches the apartment with his gun drawn, and the door flies open. Sayid and the guy on the other side of it struggle, but Sayid makes quick work of hurling him off the balcony. He lands with a sickening thud. Hurley can't peel his eyes from the body lying on the pavement until another man exits the doorway and attacks Sayid. They're a bit more evenly matched and wrestle their way back into the apartment. There are shots fired and a lot of fighting in the dark, and yet? I am not an action-recapper. They end up in the kitchen, and the man shoots three tranquilizer darts at Sayid. Two hit. Sayid removes the one from his neck, but not the one from his back, and falls face first into the kitchen sink. The man might be one of the Others. He looks familiar, but I can't place him. As Sayid leans motionless on the counter, the man approaches him from behind. Sayid grabs a heavy pan from the dish strainer and conks the guy right in the head. There's more fighting, and during it someone (Sayid?) kicks open the dishwasher door and the bottom drawer rolls forward. Who loads their sharp knives blade-up like that? Sayid does, I'll tell you what. He knocks his assailant down right on top of them. Bye-bye, Mr. Very Bad Guy.
