"第4季 第3集" 经济学家是“迷失”第四季第三集，于2008年2月14日首播。Locke帮的人质是离开小岛的关键，于是Sayid和Kate出发去寻找Locke帮寻求和平解决方案。
大纲
实时事件
Sayid在直升飞机旁沉思, Jack和Miles争论如何处理Ben和Charlotte. Miles想去找他们但是Jack有些犹豫。Sayid经过Naomi的尸体替她阖上眼盖上毯子。他发现Naomi手中戴著一隻金属手镯。金属手镯上刻着: "N, I'll always be with you. R.G."的字样，接著他便把它收了起来。
Daniel的時鐘所顯示的時間為02:45:03
Sayid提出由他去找Locke协商带回Charlotte，Jack因为有对Locke暴力相向的前科而不能前往。飞行员Frank承诺如果Charlotte平安回来就带Sayid離開小島。Miles和Sayid准备出发，Jack建议Kate一同前往，三人一同出发去Barracks。
轮船上的時鐘所顯示的時間為03:16:23
Daniel乘机开始做实验，他架起一个信号三角架，放了一个时钟在上面，然后向Frank借卫星电话打给Regina。 Frank要求他在Minkowski打电话來的时候马上停止实验，Daniel答应了。他打给船上的Regina要她给他架起的信号点送一个小火箭筒。Regina照做并且开始对发射物的位置计数，火箭筒并没有按时到达信号点，Daniel大惑不解。当发射物最终空降到信号点的时候，Daniel若有所悟，他对比三角架上的时钟和火箭筒里的时钟发现有31分钟18秒的时差。Daniel又打电话给Regina确认，认为这个现象不仅仅是诡异而已。
Hurley被發現在衣櫃裡
当Sayid, Kate, 和Miles 到达Barracks时，发现这村子似乎被荒废了。 突然一些声响傳來，他們顺着声响，来到一所房子，发现Hurley被绑着关在房子中的衣櫃裡。Hurley解释说他和Locke起了冲突于是被扔下了，Hurley不知道Locke帮的大部队去了哪里，但是他听到他们说要在离开前去Ben的房子。
Sayid，Miles和Kate来到Ben的房子开始搜索。Kate走进卧室，而Sayid则在客厅意外发现书架后隐藏的密室，里面摆满了套装，办公桌抽屉里有各个国家的钱币和n本不同国籍不同名字的Ben的假护照.
Ben的其中一個假護照
在睡房中，Kate正蹲在Ben的床底下搜索，當她看到一對腳正行進睡房來，她立刻站起，原來那是Sawyer。Sawyer用手語叫Kate不要作聲，但Kate不顾一切大声呼喚Sayid，Sayid奔出密室却发现Locke正用枪对着他，Rousseau也在厨房裡控制住Miles,这時Hurley出现，並为了他的谎言而向Sayid道歉。
Locke把Sayid带到以前关押Kate的the Others的游戏室，Ben也在那里。于此同时，Kate和Sawyer 正在讨论当初为什么各自选择成为Jack帮和Locke帮的一员。Kate表示她相信救援船可以带大家离开小岛，Sawyer问她为什么明知出岛面临的是手铐和监狱还如此坚决，并建议Kate考虑和他一起留在岛上。
Locke来找Sayid并向他道歉，解释他们不知道三人是否有后援。Sayid表明他自己也不信任Miles和其他救援人员，因此决定以Charlotte换取去船上的机会，借机探明这群空降兵的来意。Locke不同意无条件放弃Charlotte，Sayid建议以Miles换Charlotte。
直升飞机起飞
Back at the helicopter, Desmond confronts Frank about the picture Naomi had of him and Penelope. Frank says that he knows nothing about it and does not know Penelope. Desmond seems not to believe him and demands that Frank take him to the freighter on the next flight. Frank agrees. As they finish talking, they see Sayid coming over a hill. A moment later, Charlotte appears next to him. Kate and Miles are nowhere to be seen. When Jack asks what happened to Kate, Sayid tells him that she decided to stay with Locke.
Sayid indicates that he had to trade Miles for Charlotte. Frank accuses Sayid of being dishonest about their deal, but agrees to take Sayid to the freighter because Miles was "always a pain in my ass". Frank offers to take a third person but both Charlotte and Dan indicate that they wish to remain on the Island for now. Sayid insists that they take Naomi's body.
As Sayid and Desmond load Naomi into the chopper, Dan tells Frank that no matter what happens, they must fly on the exact same bearing in which they entered. Frank agrees to do as Dan says and lifts off, piloting the chopper off of the Island.
闪后
Sayid槍殺Mr. Avellino
Elsa問Sayid為什麼他依然在Berlin
Sayid在塞舌尔的高尔夫球场打高尔夫，Mr. Avellino开着高尔夫球车来到Sayid附近。Sayid看上去不愿意搭理他，指责他打扰了他用高额费用买来的 seems reluctant to converse with him, saying that they paid a premium for privacy. The man recommends that Sayid use a five iron but he insists that his seven iron will be better. The other man suggests a bet of fifty euros, to which Sayid replies "Why not one hundred?" The man asks Sayid what he does for a living. Sayid replies that he does nothing and lives off of a substantial settlement he received from Oceanic Airlines. He reveals that he is one of the Oceanic 6. Upon hearing this, the man becomes visibly nervous. Despite having won the wager he declares that Sayid doesn't need to pay him, and attempts to leave. Sayid reaches down to his bag as if reaching for his wallet but comes up with a gun. He says "I insist, Mr. Avellino" just before he shoots the man dead and then calmly walks away from the scene.
Some time later Sayid is in a cafe in Berlin, during winter, Germany. The only empty seat is at a table with a pretty blonde woman named Elsa. Sayid asks her for directions to Potsdamer Platz. She gives them to him and then introduces herself as Elsa. When Sayid asks her what she does she indicates that she works as a personal assistant for an unnamed economist. She carries a pager with which he will alert her when he is in Germany and needs her services. When she asks Sayid what he does he tells her that he is a corporate headhunter and will only be in town for one week. She then indicates that Sayid seems familiar to her.
Elsa on the phone
Elsa被Sayid槍殺
He offers to tell her where she knows him from over dinner that night. After leaving the cafe, Sayid calls someone on a cell phone and tells that person that he has "made contact". He throws the cell phone in the trash. The woman is apparently part of an assignment he is working on.
On their fifth date, Sayid and Elsa are going to the opera. She seems very fond of Sayid and decides to leave her pager at home. She says that she does not care if her boss calls that night, she just wants to spend it with Sayid. After a moment's thought, Sayid offers to carry her pager, saying that he would not want her to be fired because of him. When she asks why he is still in Berlin, Sayid tells her that his job is taking longer than expected. She regretfully tells him that she wishes that she was the reason he was staying.
Sayid, 在Elsa的屍體面前哭
Some time later, Sayid and Elsa are lying in bed, having just had sex. Elsa indicates that she is growing tired of not knowing anything about Sayid's job or background. She tells him that she loves him and that they should have no secrets. Sayid agrees, but just when he is about to tell her, Elsa's pager goes off. She begins scrambling to get dressed and respond to her boss's call. At this point Sayid tells her that she must leave. He says that people will be asking questions about what happened to her boss. At this point Elsa begins to understand what Sayid's job is. She accuses him of wanting to kill her boss. Sayid reveals that her boss is not an economist. Apparently upset, she retreats into the bathroom. When Sayid tries to talk to her she turns to him with a gun and shoots him.
Ben treating Sayid's wound
As Sayid lies bleeding on the bed, Elsa, still in the bathroom, calls someone on her cell phone, apparently the economist. She indicates that Sayid still will not tell her the name of his employer. As she talks, Sayid grabs an object and throws it against the mirror of the bathroom door, from which Elsa had been observing him. When she storms out he lunges for his gun and shoots her dead. When Sayid takes a closer look at the body, he sees that Elsa is wearing a bracelet similar to Naomi's.
Later on, Sayid stumbles into a dimly lit veterinarian's office. He is still wounded from his shoot-out with Elsa. He proceeds into the operating room where someone tells him to take off his jacket. Sayid sits down and the unseen person begins treating and questioning him. The unseen voice wants to know what Elsa's objective had been. Sayid tells the man, his employer, that she had been trying to find out his identity and the identity of his employer. The camera cuts to reveal that the man is Ben. When Sayid expresses what seems to be remorses Ben replies that "these people don't deserve our sympathies", and then asks him if he remembers what "they" did the "last time you followed your heart instead of your gun?" To which Sayid replies that it was via this event that Ben recruited him. The latter then reminds Sayid that the work they are doing is to protect Sayid's friends. Ben tells Sayid that he has another name for Sayid's list. Sayid explains that "they" know he is coming now, to which Ben merely smiles and replies, "Good."
Trivia

- 她个子也很高,并且有一头金发.
- 和Shannon一样,她死的时候也是被枪射中了腹部.

Production Notes
Bloopers and continuity errors
- The menu in the restaurant where Sayid meets Elsa for the first time [1] features numerous glaring spelling errors: "Tages Menu" ("menu of the day"; correct would be "Tagesmenü", although at least the parsing is an error actually found in many German restaurants); "Grilltes Huhnerfilet mit Gemüse" ("grilled chicken filet with vegetables"; correct would be "Gegrilltes Hühnerfilet mit Gemüse"); "Steak mit Knobloch Kartoffen" ("steak with garlic potatoes"; correct would be "Steak mit Knoblauchkartoffeln"); and "Gulash mit Bratkartoffen" ("goulash with roast potatoes"; correct would be "Gulasch mit Bratkartoffeln"). Although none of these errors would be totally out of place in some German restaurants, it's highly unlikely that a restaurant asking the steep prices as shown on the menu would make errors of this magnitude.
- After Sayid exits the bar, a building in the background can be seen sporting two flags on flagpoles. One of them is the German State Flag (which may only be used by federal authorities); the other one is the Bavarian flag (Bavaria is the Southern state of Germany; this is supposed to be German's capital city, Berlin). Although there is a Bavarian representation in Berlin, the building the flags are hanging from has stores on its floor level, which is rather unusual for government buildings.
- Behind-the-scenes photos revealed back in October 2007 the name of one of the aforementioned stores as "Weinlese Teppich", which translates as "grape harvest carpet". [2] Unless the store's owner goes by the highly unusual name of "Weinlese", this appears to be a mangled translation of "vintage carpet".
- The green Brazilian passport found in Ben's drawer has two mistakes. An authentic Brazilian passport would read "Brasil" and "Passaporte," rather than the English "Brazil" and "Passport" that are seen in the episode.
- An authentic New Zealand passport has a dark blue cover not a red cover as seen in the episode.
