Back in the prison pits of the non-Others, Sawyer is -- you're never going to believe this -- complaining. Jin starts talking -- in Korean -- and gesturing upwards. "No way, no more human pyramids," snaps Sawyer, who's probably pissed because three people makes for a pretty shitty pyramid. Michael tries yelling, "Let me out!" like that has any shot at working. Sawyer tells him to "chill" and Michael says that every minute he spends down there is another minute his son is out there. Sawyer says that until "Rambina" and her buddies decide what to do with them, there isn't anything they can do about it.
Jin starts speaking Korean again, pointing at Sawyer's gunshot wound and looking concerned. Sawyer just sort of acknowledges this and then says, "Why don't you pee on it?" Thanks, guys. Going for the niche water-sports fan-fiction market, are you? And I know he was speaking English in a dream sequence, but again you can make a case that it looks like he understood Sawyer.
Now, Otherbisi (who isn't actually an Other, I suppose, but I don't know his name yet) lifts the lid on the pit, and lowers the rope. He gestures at Jin. "Grab the rope." Jin looks suspicious. "Please," says Otherbisi. So we know he's better versed in social pleasantries than Sawyer. Still, Jin doesn't move. Otherbisi stares at him. "Don't do it," says Sawyer. Ana-Lucia strolls up, crouches down, and calmly points a gun at Michael, telling Jin to climb up or she shoots his friend. I don't think you need to speak English to pick up on what she's saying. Jin gets on the rope and half-climbs/is half-pulled out. "You next," she says to Michael. Does she have the gun pointed at Sawyer now? Because you'd think she'd have to do better than that. "Don't do it," says Sawyer, telling Michael that the gun has only one bullet left. He's in the middle of saying "she ain't gonna waste it" when he's pegged in the head with a rock, dropping him to the ground and prompting an outburst of "son of a bitch" and the like. Girl's got an arm. Michael hops on the rope and is pulled out as well. Ana-Lucia looks at Sawyer, who says, "You want me, hot lips?" Guess not, because as he's sneering that she's going to have to come down and get him, she drops the lid back on the cage, which somehow plunges everything into pitch dark. Beat. Sawyer: "Bitch." Since "hot lips" doesn't appear to want Sawyer, I'd have figured him to go the "lesbo" route, but he says "bitch" instead.
