After his daughter's death, Randall appears to have become somewhat suicidal with nothing to live for but preventing the [[bioweapon]] from being used against his people again. He purposefully tricks Locke and Private [[Talitha Macer]] so that he will be the one performing the suicide mission of destroying the deposits with the nuclear weapon while sparing both of their lives. | After his daughter's death, Randall appears to have become somewhat suicidal with nothing to live for but preventing the [[bioweapon]] from being used against his people again.
