Speaking of which, here's Eko pulling up to some dusty "Disco Bar," dressed like Shaquille O' Neal on an off-day. He sits down at a table with some dreadlocked dude who says, "I hear you have some vaccine to sell." Eko says he does, but it has to happen by Sunday, because he's leaving the country. Way to honour your brother's memory, Eko.
Back on Craphole Island, the new Lostaway A-Team has arrived at the plane wreckage. Eko stands there staring at it for a moment before heading towards it, while Locke directs the others to the Pearl station hatch. He suggests Sayid take everyone down and says he'll be down in a moment. Nikki and Paulo demonstrate why they're along: to provide backstory to the audience! Paulo asks what Eko's looking for, and Nikki says his brother's body is in the plane.
Eko and Locke walk over to the plane door, blocked by a pile of rocks, while Sayid and Desmond open the Pearl station hatch.
Locke helps Eko remove the stones, but he's really interested in finding out what Eko saw back at the stream. "I saw it once, you know," says Locke. Eko asks what Locke saw. "I saw a very bright light. It was beautiful." Is that including the time it grabbed you and tried to drag you underground? "That was not what I saw," says Eko. That's all he says about it, as he and Locke get down to the business of pushing aside the huge rock blocking the door.
Inside the plane, Eko surveys the wreckage -- but there's no sign of Yemi. He stumbles back out into the light. "My brother's gone," he says.
Back from commercial, Locke's offering up a bunch of possible explanations, none of which really jibes with the complete absence of even any sign of Yemi. Eko burned the plane, animals could have eaten the body, that sort of thing. Eko doesn't respond; he just takes out the folded picture of him and his brother when they were children. The photo's looking a little worse for wear. Eko sits down to look at it, and Locke's all, "I'm going down the hatchâ¦you don't wanna come with?" and Eko says he'll wait here. Locke starts to go, but then remembers he's got Eko's crucifix, and he hands it over, saying he found it when he was looking for him. Eko stares at it in his hand for a moment, then stands up and looks around.
