As the ladies report the attacker, Kate tries to make a break for it. She runs for an elevator that's just about closed. "Wait, hold the door!" The occupant opens the doors back up. It's Sawyer, who smarms, "Welcome aboard." Kate says nothing, so he adds, "We were on the same flight -- Sydney." Kate's not impressed. Sawyer looks at her sideways and spots her cuffs.

The camera and sound guys work overtime to show us that SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING HERE. When everything settles down, Miles says, "It worked." Sawyer says, "Well, what did she want?" Miles looks at him. "That's what she wanted to tell you: it worked." Sawyer tries to take this in. He gets back on his feet and finally stammers out, "What worked?"
