1:21 The Greater Good

The lostaways bury Boone, and Locke shows up and tries to explain what happened to them, but Jack does not believe him and is enraged. Sayid asks Shannon what he can do for her, and she replies that he can "take care" of Locke, suggesting killing him. Sayid makes Locke take him to the Beechcraft in the jungle where Boone was injured, and Locke reveals that it was he who, for the sake of the survivors (the greater good), hit Sayid over the head when he was trying to find the distress signal in an earlier episode. Sayid asks Locke about the gun he is hiding and Locke tells him about the dead drug runner before giving him the gun. Charlie tells Claire that she needs to rest, and though reluctant at first she lets him take care of her baby. Charlie has a tough time getting the baby to stop crying, but finally manages to do so after seeing the baby's reaction to Sawyer's voice. Seeing Jack's exhaustion, Kate drugs him with sleeping pills, and while he is sleeping, Shannon takes the key to the briefcase containing the guns. Shannon goes after Locke, but is confronted by Sayid, Jack, and Kate. Sayid tackles Shannon just as she fires the gun, grazing Locke in the head. Sayid visits Locke who thanks him for saving his life. Sayid tells him that he only saved him because he sensed that Locke was their best chance of survival. He then tells Locke to take him to the hatch immediately.
