[Lost] Mikhail Bakunin and the Flame (video description)

Scenes taken from episode 11 of season 3 (Enter 77) :


Mikhail and Kate help Sayid to the couch inside. Mikhail offers to help with Sayid's wound, having spent some time in the Soviet Army in Afghanistan getting field medical experience. Mikhail asks Kate to get a medical kit from the kitchen and starts to treat Sayid. Mikhail says he grew up in Kiev and joined the Soviet Army. He was stationed at a listening post in Vladivostok. His unit was decommissioned when the Cold War ended, and he later replied to a newspaper advertisement that read, "Would you like to save the world?" He joined the "very secretive, rich, and smart" DHARMA Initiative and came to the Island eleven years ago. He was put in this station, called the Flame, which is there to communicate with the outside world. He says that everyone else in the DHARMA initiative died in a foolish attack they called "the purge" on a group they called "the Hostiles." Mikhail survived by not getting involved and agreeing to a truce where he could stay behind as long as he did not cross a designated line around the valley so he will be safe. He says they weren't interested in the satellite dish because it hadn't functioned in years. He doesn't know who the hostiles are, but they were on the Island for a very long time before the Initiative or anyone else came.

Locke looks at a document in a typewriter written in Russian with some notes written in the margin in red. He finds another room in which there is a computer displaying a chess game which he starts to play.

Sayid is unsettled when Mikhail calls his cat Nadia, the name of the woman who is the love of Sayid's life. The cat is similar to Amira's cat. Although Mikhail claims he told the cat "to be polite," he actually tells it to "let the carpet alone" in Russian ("Оставь ковёр, Надя"). He says he named his cat after the world famous Romanian Olympian gymnast Nadia Comaneci. Her poster is on the wall, and Mikhail says they share birthdays. Mikhail removes the bullet and stitches Sayid's shoulder. He offers his guests iced tea and goes to fetch the drinks. Sayid and Kate quickly converse, and Sayid is adamant that he believes Mikhail is actually an Other but that they should play along, as he noticed that the horse outside was saddled for someone smaller (judging by the height of the stirrups), indicating that there is another person somewhere nearby. Meanwhile, Mikhail enters the computer room telling Locke that the computer's chess game is too difficult to beat, because it cheats. Locke disagrees, sardonically claiming that computers cannot cheat; cheating is something that makes humans uniquely "wonderful."

Mikhail brings them iced tea and Sayid asks more questions about the Initiative.

Mikhail reveals that the Flame station is a communications hub with wires running underground to the other stations on the Island. One cable runs into the ocean leading to an underwater beacon that guides submarines to the Island. He suspects the Hostiles have destroyed or commandeered one. He seems surprised to hear that Sayid's group had a sailboat but that it was taken by the Others. When Sayid tries to get a reaction by mentioning killing an other, Mikhail drops his ruse and attacks Sayid and Kate. They struggle and Mikhail is subdued with Kate pointing a rifle at him. Locke comes in with his pistol.

They tie up Mikhail while Sayid explains his theory that the Others sent someone else to the station because they lost communications when the sky turned purple. Locke thinks the station is empty, but Sayid lifts the rug and reveals a hatch door.

Sayid and Kate climb down the Hatch ladder while Locke watches Mikhail's unconscious body upstairs. Locke, however, hears the computer asking for the next chess move and he goes to it, leaving his prisoner unsupervised. He finishes another game of chess and achieves a mate in 2, which the computer erroneously claims is a checkmate. A video clip of Marvin Candle appears and says, "Manual override achieved. For pallet drop enter 2-4. For station up-link enter 3-2. For mainland communication enter 3-8." Locke enters 3-8. A new clip is called up saying "The satellite dish is inoperable. Communications are down. For sonar access enter 5-6." Locke enters 5-6. A new clip says, "Sonar is inoperable. Has there been an incursion on this station by the Hostiles? If so, enter 7-7." Locke's finger aims hovers over the 7 key when Mikhail puts a knife to his neck from behind, stopping him from typing the second 7.

Sayid and Kate see C-4 wired throughout the entire underground room. Sayid sees a shelf lined with binders, one of which is a food drop protocol and another is an operations manual. Kate investigates a closet area and is attacked from behind by Ms. Klugh. Sayid arrives and tells Klugh to drop her gun. Kate hits her, saying she helped kidnap them and she knows where Jack is. Sayid asks Klugh if there are any others there, but she acts unafraid, hardly intimidated by the rifle.

They take her upstairs and outside, where Mikhail has Locke at gunpoint. Mikhail offers a hostage exchange but John claims Mikhail wouldn't kill him. Klugh talks and argues with Mikhail in Russian while Kate, Locke and Sayid shout. Finally she orders him to "do it" and he shoots her in the heart.

(Translated from Russian)

--Beatrice: "We can't risk it, you know the rules."

--Mikhail: "There's still a way out."

--Beatrice: "We won't let them into the territory. You know what to do. It is an order."

--Beatrice: "(English) Just do it, Mikhail!"

(Mikhail takes aim at Beatrice)

--Mikhail: "(Russian) Forgive me"

(Mikhail shoots Beatrice)
---------------------------------------
Mikhail is knocked over and Sayid points his gun at him. Mikhail tells him to finish it, but Sayid doesn't shoot.

Later, in the evening, Sayid takes Mikhail outside and calls Danielle. Mikhail says that he was never a member of DHARMA but that everything else he said was true, and that DHARMA did really attack the Hostiles. Sayid tells Danielle that Locke and Kate are gathering anything useful from the station and that now he has their ticket to the Others' location, where they will find Danielle's daughter and Jack, and perhaps a way home. Mikhail refuses to lead them, but Sayid says he has a map of the cables, which leads to an area called the barracks, which he believes is where the Others are staying. Mikhail threatens to kill them the next time they let their guard down. Danielle says that since they don't need him, they should kill him.

However, Sayid says Mikhail is his prisoner and he will not kill him. Locke and Kate join them and Locke says he knows why Mikhail didn't want him playing with the computer. Suddenly the station explodes. Sayid demands to know what Locke has done, and Locke tells him that the computer said if there was an incursion to enter 7-7, so he did. Sayid tells Locke that he may have destroyed their only chance of communication with the outside world. As they leave the Flame, Sayid notices the cat staring at him.
