View Full Version : Kate is "dangerous" because ...

. . . she knows too much.

Perhaps Kate knows too much about a top secret government project. The gov't marshall could be a former co-worker and also someone hired to bring her back for "silencing." Just because she is labeled a criminal doesn't mean she's a violent criminal. Her knowledge could be dangerous.

This could tie in with Pinnerman's Philadelphia Experiment concept.

No way! If the Gov't wanted her dead they would not send a U.S Marshal to get her.

He didn't necessarily have to be a marshall just because he had a badge. CIA?

We don't really know "the marshal" really is a U.S. Marshal. It could be someone else on the plane. Although, by Kate's reaction to Sawyer's comment about a marshal being on the plane, maybe the guy who died this week WAS the marshal. Or he could be another cop. Never know.

Is it just me or does that marshall seem to be in it for more than what he seems to be. I think maybe like Sawyer that badge doesn't really mean that he is an air marshall. A badge can be purchased and in that case... I think the marshall was really a bounty hunter. It would fit him a lot more if he was worried so much because of money. The motivation there. And I think Kate's respone of one last wish that the old man got the money was her way of asking the bounty hunter not to take the money him self.

The marshall could also be corrupt. I get the sense those two have a past, and that's what the reference is to. Truthfully, I hope we never know what Kate did for sure. For some reason, I like it better that way.

Kate is dangerous because...

...she is so very, very fine, and men will do awfully stupid things to impress a woman of her caliber. ;-)

On one hand what she did must've been serious enough for someone to come to Australia to bring her back to the states. On the other hand if she was really dangerous it seems they would send more than one person after her. Even not dangerous they should've sent more than one after her, but more so if she was a violent offender.

I'm still undecided on whether her crime is truly a violent one,. Perhaps it's just a small offence, but due to a past [which they definitely look like they have] the marshall has it out for her. Maybe in his pursuit he fell for her, and she ruined his marriage. [did anyone else notice the marshall has a wedding ring?]

Lust Patrol...

Max is spreading lust across the board.

4Dom: I think the Marshall was married to Kate.

First post....hello everyone!

I was thinking about the reward that was offered for her capture: $23,000 Australian. How much is that in American dollars and what kind of offense would you have to commit to get that kind of bounty on your head?
If it was murder wouldn't the bounty be more?

I don't know.....anybody have an idea?

On a talk show the other night (I forgot which one) she mentioned that she doesn't even know the crime she's committed. She thinks JJ knows, but she's not even sure, because they won't tell her. I guess that leaves us to speculate to our hearts content.

Maybe the guy's first name is Marshall and he just happens to have a gun.

in response to CarolinaPaige.... $23000 in Australian translates to roughly $16750 USD.

But I'm thinking....if it's the American government/organization that wants her, would the $23000 already be in USD. If it is, then it would be something like $31580 in Australian....now that's a few pennies that would pay off some bills...:eek

The Marshal's Service, the FBI and other branches of the United States government routinely pay rewards in U.S. dollars...

(Examples from the not-too-distant past include the mastermind of the first World Trade Center bombing, the shooter outside CIA headquarters in Virginia and Saddam Hussein's sons in Iraq. The folks who dropped a dime on the four mentioned above all received in excess of ten million dollars each...)

$23,000 may not sound like all that much of a reward for murder but I've seen rewards of as little as $1,000 for a homicide. $23,000 is in the above average category as rewards go and could cover crimes ranging from armed robbery, kidnapping, extortion, forgery, counterfeiting, bombing, and a whole host of others, including murder, murder of a police officer, murder while committing a felony (like bank robbery) or accessory to murder...espionage is also included in this range...

Maybe she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or she was set up. That marshall seemed to not be such a great guy. Hello...he tried to strangle Kate and in the memory she had he pointed his fingers at her in the shape of a gun. I think HE set her up or something like that. She was running from HIM.

he didnt set her up because at the end of the episode where the marshal dies kate tells jack "I WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT I DID". she did something. theres no question about it. and she just has that awful, tortured, guilty vibe about her. which, in itself, wouldnt be enough to condemn her, but combined with that statement, theres no question in my mind that she actually did something. as for the marshal being a bad guy, it seems to me like he got too attached to her somehow, she betrayed him in some sense of the word, or maybe just he felt like she did, and so he took it personally. if you ever watch law shows, even, sometimes when a cop has been chasing a certain criminal for awhile, even without outside relations with the criminal as many of us suspect with kate and the marshal, the cop can begin to get personally involved with the criminal, meaning that they are going to bring this person to justice and they might act in unorthodox ways while trying to do so.

ok. :)

I agree with scrapnel. At a stoplight I had a handcuffed prisoner (armed robbery suspect) in the back seat of my patrol car, kick out the right side window and escape. I spent the next 77 hours looking for the guy; I wanted to capture him myself since the SOB was in my custody and got away from ME. I took it personally, as an affront to my sense of right and wrong and to the uniform I wore. There was no sleep, no food, nothing more than my wanting to get the guy back in custody and book him. I can understand the Marshal's singlemindedness...

(My escapee did get caught, visiting his girlfriend. Though I didn't make the arrest the SWAT team leg chained him and handcuffed him, then put him face down in the back of my car and let me haul him in. That was a good feeling and I did gloat, very much like the Marshal did on the plane...)

I'm a lot warmer and fuzzier these days, azteclady...

...and older, with the arthritic knees, ankles and wrists to go along with it. Wouldn't have missed those times I had though--they were some of the best of my life!:D
