26. How many knives do we see Locke carrying in this episode?
From Quiz "Lost" : 'Adrift'
Answer:
2
In the previous episode, we discovered what happened in the hatch from Jack's perspective; however, in this episode, we manage to see what happened in the structure from John Locke's perspective. This section of the episode begins immediately after Kate was abducted into the dark tunnel.
Realizing that there is indeed something inside the hatch, Locke decides to go into the structure as well. After getting to the bottom, he takes off his shoes (in order to make as less noise as possible) and ventures into the dark alleys. Eventually he finds Kate, who seems to be OK; but, as soon as he is going to give her a hand, he hears a gun sound, turns around and discover a man pointing a shotgun at him (That man being Desmond). Without delay, Desmond starts asking Locke whether he was "him". John obviously doesn't know what he is talking about but, thinking he may handle the situation, decides to responds with an affirmative answer. Kate's presence, however, makes Desmond a little doubtful about Locke's real identity, so he decides to ask him a riddle ("What did one snowman say to the other snowman?"). John couldn't answer the question and, realizing that Locke is not the person he is looking for, Desmond tells him to get rid of the knife he is carrying. After this, he takes both of them to another room, without knowing that the hunter is still holding one of his most beloved weapons.
NOTE: In episode 2:01: 'Man of Science, Man of Faith', Jack found a pair of shoes in the underground structure. In this episode, it is revealed that those shoes belonged to John Locke.
