The sextet of Charlie, Sawyer, Sayid, Boone, Kate and Shannon has heard the mysterious French transmission. But they do not want to tell about this to anyone… yet. They do not want to cause any undue distress. Hurley and Jack are on the beach and while rummaging through Kate's things, they find a mug shot of hers. There's a bit of flashback here. It is revealed that Kate was running from American law, and that's the reason she was in Australia. She had lived with a farmer there but he had divulged her secret to US Federal Marshall Mars. He was now on her back. In another scene, Michael is none too happy about the friendship that is developing between his son Walt and the not-so reliable Locke. Walt's dog Vincent is lost. Locke offers his help in finding Vincent.
