This came out of top of my head while making a comment. So I will post it here as a small theory.
At this point in time we have two Sawyers. One is 38 year old man, survivor of Oceanic flight 815, head of security known as Jim La Fleur. The other one is little James Ford, a kid, hiding under a bed in his bedroom, witnessing his parents death. It is 1977.
Lets clarify the age matter. Old Sawyer is 38 years old. How I know that? Back in 2004 Ben asked him how old is he. He said 32. Ben told him not to lie and he corrected himself and said 35. That means he is born in 1969. He flashed to 1977 at age 35, lived there for 3 years and now he is 38. Young Sawyer was 8 years old kid when his parents died so 1969 + 8 = 1977.
Back on the island we have a situation. Sayid 'the hostile' escaped. Jin, Dharma security, is unconscious, Ben, Dharma kid is shot. Dharma has two choices, two ideas.
1. Hostiles did it.
2. Someone within Dharma did it.
Lets go back to Namaste and Jack's act of foolishness. Few hours after he arrived to the island as new recruit and a janitor, he 'dares' to look for JAMES La Fleur. Phil noticed that and he becomes suspicious. We all saw it. So after recent events in He is our you there is panic within Dharma people. My guess is that soon they will realize that something is 'wrong' with their head of security. That he is acting strange ever since new recruits came. I have no idea how will this play out. Heh, maybe they take him to Oldham seeking for some truth. :)
Anyways my guess is that Sawyer gets banished from the island. Or something else happens, maybe regarding the incident that sends Sawyer out of the island. The point for this theory is that he needs to be out.
So, let's just imagine that old Sawyer has a chance to go off the island, now in 1977. Where would he go? To the most important moment of his life (I always wondered why 1977??? Because I still believe Sawyer is the most important character of this show) death of his parents. He knows when and where it is going to happen. So he goes to his house to stop his father from killing his mother, because now he is a grown, 38 years old man who could stood up to his dad, right? There are two possible ways.
1. He is in time and stops his dad. Thus his parents never die and he becomes someone else. Not sawyer. Not a con man. Heck maybe he becomes a doctor :)
I doubt this possibility for only one reason. We know little James Ford in the future. We know he is a con man and we know that he dedicated his whole life for just one thing, finding Sawyer, man who killed his parents. That leave us to another possibility which I really like. :)
2. He is late and his parents are already dead. So he decides to talk to himself (younger version) and tells himself the name of the killer Mister Anthony Cooper. :))
I always wondered how the hell a 8 year old boy knows who was responsible for their deaths. In every detail. He knows that his 'mummy had sex with Mr. Sawyer' and that his 'daddy got angry and killed mummy'. I doubt Mary Ford told a 8 year old kid: "Honey I had sex with Mister Sawyer and he conned me for money. Now your daddy is angry with your mummy and he came here to hurt mummy. Now go and hide under bed and don't come out no matter what you hear. I love you."???? Do you see this happening? Me neither. So how? Is it possible that James Ford told himself what happened? Same way Locke said to Richard he is their leader? The only way this could happen if 1.Sawyer somehow gets off the island in 1977
2.Travels from the future back from one point or
3. Sawyer is Jacob (and you all know my opinion on this one:)).
But anyways I totally see this happening in a near future. If someone has a better explanation on how he got the name of a 'killer' who conned his parents please share it with me. Theory by Monika
