Faucke declares the plane unsafe, saying that they can't be sure there aren't more explosives hidden on it. He has a new plan. Let's take Widmore's sub. Sawyer's all haven't I been saying that for like EVER? Hurley: "Dude, wait. He's not supposed to leave the island. I mean, Alpert said..." Sawyer: "Screw Alpert. He ain't here." Then how are we supposed to screw him, James? I ask only because I want to obey your directive. Instead of answering me, he turns to Faucke. "That's twice you've saved our asses. Guess I was wrong about you." Faucke thanks him, while I throw my slippers at Sawyer's thick, thick head. Faucke warns them that the sub will be heavily defended and says they'll need everyone. Jack gets his drift, nods and says he'll help them get on the sub, but he's not going with them." It's off to the sub they go. Claire hustles to catch up with Faucke and apologizes for going with the Losties. He pats her on the back and smiles. "That's all right, Claire. I understand why you went with them." Yeah, shampoo and a hair brush. Look into it, you bald bastard. Your minion has her needs. Meanwhile, Sawyer goes to talk with Jack, with a modicum of respect, even. He knows Jack doesn't want to leave the island with them, and he's cool with that, but he needs a solid. He does not want Faucke getting on that sub. Jack points out that Faucke isn't exactly an easy opponent to beat, or even fight, since he can turn into smoke and all. Sawyer tells Jack, "Just get it in the water. I'll take care of the rest."
Sidebar: I'm not sure Widmore put the C4 in the plane. Isn't that what Richard, Ben and Miles went back to New Otherton to retrieve? And I'm not sure Smokey doesn't know that. I'd imagine he can hear the whispers. I'm not sure Widmore wants to kill any of the Losties. I think he will kill the ones he doesn't need, if he has to, but I don't think that's his goal.
