Sawyer about to meet Frank Duckett. ("Outlaws")

"The Tampa Job" was mentioned by Hibbs in a conversation with Sawyer during a flashback scene in "Outlaws". Tampa is a city in Florida, indicating Sawyer was there at some point in his past.

When Hibbs told Sawyer, "that makes us even for the Tampa Job", Sawyer replied "what could possibly make us even for the Tampa Job?", suggesting Hibbs' actions were viewed as unforgivable by Sawyer. Sawyer also reminded Hibbs of the last time they met, when Sawyer said he would kill Hibbs if he ever saw him again. Hibbs retorted by saying that Sawyer "ain't the killin' type".

Trivia

• In "I Do", while Kevin Callis was employed by the Miami-Dade Police Department, he mentioned Tampa briefly while looking up "IRs" (Incident Reports, presumably) on the computer, shortly before being drugged by Kate:

Matthew Fox, "Sawyer" audition

• When Matthew Fox auditioned for the part of Sawyer, he read a monologue which described a scam in Miami, Florida. It is unknown whether the monologue script has anything to do with what might have been revised as the Tampa Job; however, any parallel seems unlikely as the "Sawyer" background in this audition differs greatly from the background of Sawyer.
