Original timeline ... Hurley, Sun, Jack, and Frank have just arrived at the Man in Black's camp.]
LOCKE: Hello, Jack. I was hoping you'd come.
[Hurley hands Locke his torch.]
LOCKE: I think we have some catching up to do.
[Jack walks up to Hurley.]
JACK: Hurley. This was your idea. You alright with me talking with him alone?
HURLEY: [Handing Jack a gun.] It's all you, dude.
JACK: [To Locke] Alright, let's catch up.
[Jack and Locke walk away. They arrive at a clearing. Locke sits down on a log. Jack remains standing, facing Locke.]
JACK: Look just like him.
LOCKE: Does it bother you?
JACK: No, what bothers me is I don't have any idea what the hell you are.
LOCKE: Sure you do.
[Jack kneels.]
JACK: Why John Locke?
LOCKE: Because he was stupid enough to believe that he'd been brought here for a reason. Because he pursued that belief until it got him killed. And because you were kind enough to bring his body back here in a nice wooden box.
JACK: He had to be dead before you could look like him.
LOCKE: That's right.
[Jack nods.]
JACK: Who else have you looked like?
LOCKE: Jack, what do you really want to ask me?
JACK: The third araw we were here I saw... I chased my father through the jungle... my, my dead father. Was that you?
LOCKE: Yes, that was me.
JACK: Why?
LOCKE: You needed to find water. This may be hard for you to believe, Jack, but all I've ever been interested in is helping you.
JACK: To help me? To do what?
LOCKE: Leave. But because Jacob chose you, you were trapped on this Island, before you even got here. Now Jacob's dead. We don't have to be trapped anymore. We can get on an airplane and fly away anytime we want to.
JACK: If we can just fly away whenever we want, why are you still here?
LOCKE: Because it has to be all of us.
[Jack looks momentarily emotional.]
LOCKE: What?
JACK: John Locke was the only one of us that ever believed in this place. He did everything he could to keep us from leaving this island.
LOCKE: John Locke was not a believer, Jack. He was a sucker.

CLAIRE: Did he tell you? That he was the one pretending to be our father?
JACK: Yeah. Yeah, he told me.
CLAIRE: You know, I pretty much gave up hoping that you'd ever come back. Now that you're here...
[Clare pauses, sighs, then smiles.]
CLAIRE: It's... it's good to see you, Jack.
JACK: Yeah, it’s good to see you too.
CLAIRE: You know, I-I never really had much in the way of family, so it…really means a lot that you’re coming with us.
JACK: Actually, I haven’t-I haven’t decided if I’m coming with you.
CLAIRE: Yeah, you have.
JACK: What do you mean?
CLAIRE: You decided the moment you let him talk to you, just like the rest of us. So, yeah, whether you like it or not, you’re with him now.

[Original timeline Man in Black’s camp]
HURLEY: He’s got a submarine?
SAWYER [whispers]: Keep your voice down, damn it. Yeah, Widmore’s got a sub. We’re using it to get off this rock.
HURLEY: Are we gonna tell Sun?
SAWYER: Kate’s telling her now. I thought we might want to avoid huddles.
HURLEY: What about Sayid?
SAWYER: Sayid ain’t invited. He’s gone over to the dark side.
HURLEY: Yeah, but you can always bring people back from the dark side. I mean, Anakin--
SAWYER: Who the hell’s Anakin? Look, just keep your mouth shut. Don’t say nothing’ to no one.
CLAIRE: Hey.
HURLEY: Hey, Claire.
CLAIRE: Hey, Hurley.
HURLEY: You look great.
[Sawyer looks past Hurley and Claire embracing at Locke and Jack returning to camp.]
LOCKE: It’s so nice to have everyone back together again.

SAWYER: Want an apple?
[Kate doesn’t respond.]
SAWYER: Hey, Schaub, I’m the one who brought her in. Wanna give us a minute?
[Officer Schaub nods and leaves.]
SAWYER: Katherine Anne Austen. Wanted for arson, assault on a federal officer, murder in the first degree.
[Background indistinct police radio chatter.] Funny, you don’t strike me as the murdering kind.
KATE: That’s because I’m not.
SAWYER: You be sure and mention that to feds when they get here.
KATE: There something you wanted?
SAWYER: You remember me? From the airport? We were on the same flight from Sydney.
KATE: Yeah, I remember.
SAWYER: Well, don’t you think it’s weird--you and me being on the same flight, having that little meet-up in the elevator? And a week later--boom, of all the cars in Los Angeles, you smash into mine. Almost like someone’s trying to put us together.
KATE: Are you hitting on me?
SAWYER: [laughs] It’d never work, sweetheart. I’m a cop, you’re a murderer.
KATE: I already told you, I’m not a murderer.
SAWYER: Yeah, well, I’m still a cop.
KATE: So, why didn’t you arrest me?
SAWYER: I did arrest you.
KATE: No, in L.A.X., the elevator, you saw I was wearing handcuffs.
SAWYER: I didn’t see any handcuffs. All I saw was a pretty lady who needed the door held open for her.
KATE: You know what I think? I think you let me go because you went to Australia, and you didn’t want anyone to know you were there. Should I tell that to the feds when they get here?
SAWYER: Oh, I like you.
KATE: Oh.
MILES: Jim, got a live one. Come on.
SAWYER: Sorry, duty calls.
MILES: We caught a multiple homicide at a restaurant. Victims were a lowlife named Keamy and three goons on his payroll. Korean female GSW at the scene, and her boyfriend witnessed it, but he doesn’t speak English.
SAWYER: Any suspects?
MILES: Yeah, an ATM surveillance camera grabbed this jaboney fleeing the scene.
SAWYER: All righty. Put a name to that face. [Security tape film shows Sayid leaving a building.] That’s our bad guy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Original timeline, Locke’s camp.]
[Kate and Jack are together looking at Sayid across the camp.]
KATE: He’s different now.
JACK [nods]: Guess we’re all different now.
KATE: So what did Locke say to you?
JACK: He sinabi that he wants to leave, and we all have to go together.
KATE: And do you believe him?
JACK: I’m not sure yet.
[Sound of a riple cock as Zoe walks into camp.]
MAN: Hands up. Stop right there.
ZOE: Where’s the man in charge?
HURLEY: Who’s she?
SAWYER: That’s Widmore’s number two.
[Locke comes out of a tent and smiles at Zoe.]
LOCKE: What can I do for you?
ZOE: You took something from us, and we want it back.
LOCKE: I’m sorry. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
[Zoe reaches for something in her back pocket. Rifles cock.]
LOCKE: It’s okay.
ZOE [speaking into walkie-talkie]: Do you have fix on my position?
MAN: Roger that.
ZOE: ipakita them what we’re capable of.
[Whistling sound overhead, followed sa pamamagitan ng a loud explosion. Everyone ducks, except Locke, who doe not flinch.]
ZOE: You have until nightfall to return what you took; or susunod time, we won’t miss. [Zoe tosses walkie-talkie to Locke, who catches it.] Call me when you’re ready for us to pick him up. [Zoe walks off.]
[Locke drops walkie-talkie to the ground and smashes it with the stick he had whittled.]
LOCKE: Well…here we go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Flash-sideways timeline. Claire enters a building and speaks with man at reception desk.]
CLAIRE: Uh, hi. I have an appointment with the Western Pacific Adoption Agency.
MAN: Fifteenth floor, and sign in, please.
CLAIRE: Sure. [Claire signs in. Looks up suspiciously at Desmond as he addresses her.]
DESMOND: uy there. How are you? Uh, we met at the airport. The, uh, the baggage claim.
CLAIRE: Oh, yeah, right.
DESMOND: Nice. I’m Desmond. Desmond Hume. Um, I never got your name. Uh…[looks at the sign in sheet.] “Claire Littleton.” So--So how you doin’?
CLAIRE: Um, I’m okay. Better now. I actually had a bit of a scare, ended up in the hospital.
DESMOND: Oh, no. I’m sorry. Are you…
CLAIRE: Oh, no. It’s all good now, so…Oh, sa pamamagitan ng the way, uh, you were right. It’s a boy.
DESMOND: I have a nose for these things. Look, um…excuse me if this sounds a bit personal, but I couldn’t help noticing you’re going to an adoption agency….alone.
CLAIRE: Uh…yeah. You’re right. It is personal.
DESMOND: No, I just meant that you should have some--some legal representation.
CLAIRE: What, are you a lawyer?
DESMOND: No, no. But, uh, it just so happens that I’m on my to see one. You know, adoption contracts are complicated; and, you should be careful because you could find yourself in a situation that’s irreversible.
CLAIRE: Yeah, I-I don’t have money for a lawyer. [Desmond follows Claire onto an elevator, she presses 15th floor button.] What floor?
DESMOND: Um…I’m--I’m going to 15 as well. Look, this, um, this attorney I’m seeing--she’s excellent. Uh, you know, plus, she owes me a favor. So…why don’t you just come and meet her? You know, I think she could really help you.
[Claire and Desmond leave elevator.]
DEMOND: Look, I promise you it won’t cost you a cent. Please. It’d be my absolute pleasure.
CLAIRE: Uh, sure.
DESMOND: Great, this way. [Holds door open for Claire. They enter a law office and stop at receptionist.] Hi. Uh, Desmond Hume to see Ms. Verdansky, please.
RECEPTIONIST [types at computer]: Oh, yes, Mrs. Hume, she’s expecting you. Have a seat.
DESMOND: Great
CLAIRE: Hey, um…thank you.
DESMOND: You’re very welcome.
ILANA [with an American accent]: Desmond! [They embrace and halik on the cheek.]
DESMOND: Ah, Ilana. Uh, Claire, this is Ilana. Ilana, I’d like you to meet a friend of mine, Claire Littleton.
ILANA: Claire Littleton, um…
DESMOND: I was hoping you’d be able to help her, um….
ILANA: I’m sorry…Claire Littleton from Australia?
CLAIRE: Um, do I know you?
ILANA: No, but this is a quite a coincidence. We’ve been looking for you. Desmond, do you mind if I speak with Ms. Littleton alone for a few minutes?
DESMOND: No, absolutely fine. Go right ahead.
[Claire follows Ilana away from reception area.]
editAct 3[Original timeline. Claire walks into Locke’s camp and goes to Hurley.]
LOCKE: Listen up, everyone.
CLAIRE: Hey. What’s going on?
HURLEY: People are trying to kill us again.
LOCKE: All this is happening a bit sooner than I’d expected, but these people have forced our hand, claiming we estola something from them, trying to provoke us into a confrontation. Well, if that’s what they want, that’s what they’ll get. Gather your things, we’re going to the other island and we’re getting on that plane. James, I need your help with something. [They walk away as Jack watches them.] There’s a bangka moored just a few hours down the baybayin from here. I want you to get it and meet the rest of us on the other side of these bluffs. [Locke shows James a map] We’ll all sail over to the other island together.
SAWYER: How come we’re not all heading for it together?
LOCKE: The bigger the group, the slower it moves.
SAWYER: All right. I could use another pair of hands.
LOCKE: Take whoever you. How about it, Freckles? Know anything about sailing?
KATE: I know enough.
LOCKE: Good. We’ll be waitin’ for ya. Sayid, you got a minute? [Jack watches Sayid follow Locke.]
SAWYER [whispers]: Give me a hand with something’? [Jack follows Sawyer] Listen up, ‘cause I’m only gonna say this once. We’re not going to that rendezvous point to pick up Locke. I got a deal with Widmore.
JACK: What kind of deal?
SAWYER: Just listen. First chance you get, double back, hoof it to this spot. [points to map] There’s an old dock. Grab Hugo, Sun and Lapidus. Kate and I will meet you there.
JACK: What about Sayid and Claire?
SAWYER: Sayid’s a zombie and Claire’s nuts. She gave up her ticket when she tried to kill Kate. And I ain’t gonna let that happen again. That’s Hugo, Sun and the pilot. Only them. Understand?
JACK: But, how am I supposed to get us away from--from Locke?
SAWYER: You figure it out. [Sawyer hands map to Jack and goes to Kate.] Ready to roll?
KATE: What was that all about?
SAWYER: Guy talk. [Kate looks at Jack as she leaves with Sawyer.]
[Locke and Sayid, away from camp]
LOCKE: I need you to go out to where I’ve got Desmond.
SAYID: I thought you weren’t going to give him back.
LOCKE: I’m not. You’re gonna kill him. And that’s not gonna be a problem, is it, Sayid? You do still want what you asked me for, right?
SAYID: Yes, I do.
LOCKE: Then, go do what I said. [Sayid walks away. Locke heads back to camp.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Sayid, gun in hand, walks toward the well. Points gun at Desmond, who is bloody and sitting in shallow water.]
DESMOND: So what did he offer ya? If you’re gonna shoot me in cold blood, brother…I think I have a right to know what you’re getting’ in exchange for it.
SAYID: He told me I could get something back I lost.
DESMOND: And what did you lose?
SAYID: The woman I loved.
DESMOND: And where is she now?
SAYID: Dead.
DESMOND: And what makes you think Locke can bring her back?
SAYID: I died…and he brought me back.
DESMOND: So, what will you tell her?
SAYID: What do you mean?
DESMOND: This woman--when she asks you what you did to be with her again…what will you tell her?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Flash-sideways timeline. Sayid rushes into the tahanan of his brother and Nadia. He grabs a bag and suitcase.]
NADIA [smiling]: Sayid. [Expression changes as she sees the suitcases.] What’s going on?
SAYID: Everything will be okay for you now. I took care of it.
NADIA: What do you mean? Where are you going?
SAYID: I have to leave.
NADIA: Did you hurt someone?
SAYID: Nadia, I’m leaving. And I’m never going to be able to come back again.
[Doorbell rings.]
NADIA: What did you do, Sayid?
SAYID [whispers]: Stall them.
[Nadia goes to the door.]
NADIA: Who is it?
MILES: LAPD.
NADIA: May I see some identification?
MILES: Can you open the door, please. [Nadia opens the door.] Mrs. Jarrah, I’m Detective Straume. I need to ask you some questions. You have a few minutes? [Miles sees the suitcases and looks at Nadia.]
[Sayid leaves through the rear door, but is tripped sa pamamagitan ng a hose held sa pamamagitan ng Sawyer, who points a gun at Sayid.]
SAWYER: That’s good, stay down. [Handcuffs Sayid.] Sayid Jarrah, you’re under arrest.
editAct 4[Original timeline. Sawyer peers out from the jungle to a bangka off shore.]
SAWYER: Thar she blows. [Sawyer and Kate walk onto the beach.] You ready to get wet?
KATE: Ah. You sure this is a good idea?
SAWYER: You see a bridge?
KATE: Going back to get Locke.
SAWYER: Of course not. It’s a terrible idea, which is why we ain’t doing it.
KATE: What?
SAWYER: We’re gonna ditch Locke. You, me Jack, Hurley, Sun and that pilot that looks like he’s stepped off the set of a Burt Reynolds movie.
KATE: When were you planning on telling me this?
SAWYER: Now.
KATE: Wait. You didn’t say Claire.
SAWYER: She ain’t coming. The Claire you came back for is gone.
KATE: I promised I would bring her back.
SAWYER: That was before she started drinkin’ Locke’s kool-aid. She’s dangerous, you really want her around Aaron? Let’s go. We ain’t got much time.
[Sawyer and Kate swim to boat.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Locke leads his group through the jungle.]
JACK: Hey, Claire.
CLAIRE: Jack.
JACK: How long have you been with Locke?
CLAIRE: Ever since you left.
JACK: So you trust him?
CLAIRE: Yeah.
JACKS: Why?
CLAIRE: ‘Cause he’s the only one that didn’t abandon me.
[Locke’s followers are walking single file and go in the direction that he points. Locke looks down the line and talks to Sun.]
LOCKE: Sun. Have you seen Sayid? He was supposed to catch up with us about a half a mile back. [She doesn’t answer.] Oh, the silent treatment?
[She takes out a note pad from her bag and writes]: “You did this to me!”
LOCKE [scoffs]: I’m sorry, Sun, but I didn’t do anything to you. [Locke touches Cindy’s shoulder.] James should be on his way sa pamamagitan ng now. Just keep everyone moving to the beach, I’ll catch up with you there.
CINDY: Where are you going?
LOCKE: I wanna make sure nobody got left behind.
[Jack watches Locke leave.]
JACK: Hurley, wait up.
HURLEY: Yeah?
JACK: Sun. [Sun and Lapidus go over to Jack and Hurley. Claire is observing.] We have to go now.
LAPIDUS: Go where?
JACK: There’s no time. We just gotta go. Follow me.
HURLEY: Um, I think we should stick to Sawyer’s plan, or he’ll be really pissed.
JACK: This is Sawyer’s plan. Let’s go!
[Claire angrily watches as Jack, Hurley, Sun, Lapidus trot away.]
LOCKE: Hello, Jack. I was hoping you'd come.
[Hurley hands Locke his torch.]
LOCKE: I think we have some catching up to do.
[Jack walks up to Hurley.]
JACK: Hurley. This was your idea. You alright with me talking with him alone?

[Sound of a riple cock as Zoe walks into camp.]
MAN: Hands up. Stop right there.
ZOE: Where’s the man in charge?
HURLEY: Who’s she?
SAWYER: That’s Widmore’s number two.
[Locke comes out of a tent and smiles at Zoe.]
LOCKE: What can I do for you?
ZOE: You took something from us, and we want it back.
LOCKE: I’m sorry. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
[Zoe reaches for something in her back pocket. Rifles cock.]
LOCKE: It’s okay.
ZOE [speaking into walkie-talkie]: Do you have fix on my position?
MAN: Roger that.
ZOE: ipakita them what we’re capable of.
[Whistling sound overhead, followed sa pamamagitan ng a loud explosion. Everyone ducks, except Locke, who doe not flinch.]
ZOE: You have until nightfall to return what you took; or susunod time, we won’t miss. [Zoe tosses walkie-talkie to Locke, who catches it.] Call me when you’re ready for us to pick him up. [Zoe walks off.]
[Locke drops walkie-talkie to the ground and smashes it with the stick he had whittled.]
LOCKE: Well…here we go.

[Flash-sideways timeline. Claire enters a building and speaks with man at reception desk.]
CLAIRE: Uh, hi. I have an appointment with the Western Pacific Adoption Agency.
MAN: Fifteenth floor, and sign in, please.
CLAIRE: Sure. [Claire signs in. Looks up suspiciously at Desmond as he addresses her.]
DESMOND: uy there. How are you? Uh, we met at the airport. The, uh, the baggage claim.
CLAIRE: Oh, yeah, right.
DESMOND: Nice. I’m Desmond. Desmond Hume. Um, I never got your name. Uh…[looks at the sign in sheet.] “Claire Littleton.” So--So how you doin’?
CLAIRE: Um, I’m okay. Better now. I actually had a bit of a scare, ended up in the hospital.
DESMOND: Oh, no. I’m sorry. Are you…
CLAIRE: Oh, no. It’s all good now, so…Oh, sa pamamagitan ng the way, uh, you were right. It’s a boy.
DESMOND: I have a nose for these things. Look, um…excuse me if this sounds a bit personal, but I couldn’t help noticing you’re going to an adoption agency….alone.
CLAIRE: Uh…yeah. You’re right. It is personal.
DESMOND: No, I just meant that you should have some--some legal representation.
CLAIRE: What, are you a lawyer?
DESMOND: No, no. But, uh, it just so happens that I’m on my to see one. You know, adoption contracts are complicated; and, you should be careful because you could find yourself in a situation that’s irreversible.
CLAIRE: Yeah, I-I don’t have money for a lawyer. [Desmond follows Claire onto an elevator, she presses 15th floor button.] What floor?
DESMOND: Um…I’m--I’m going to 15 as well. Look, this, um, this attorney I’m seeing--she’s excellent. Uh, you know, plus, she owes me a favor. So…why don’t you just come and meet her? You know, I think she could really help you.
[Claire and Desmond leave elevator.]
DEMOND: Look, I promise you it won’t cost you a cent. Please. It’d be my absolute pleasure.
CLAIRE: Uh, sure.
DESMOND: Great, this way. [Holds door open for Claire. They enter a law office and stop at receptionist.] Hi. Uh, Desmond Hume to see Ms. Verdansky, please.
RECEPTIONIST [types at computer]: Oh, yes, Mrs. Hume, she’s expecting you. Have a seat.
DESMOND: Great
CLAIRE: Hey, um…thank you.
DESMOND: You’re very welcome.
ILANA [with an American accent]: Desmond! [They embrace and halik on the cheek.]
DESMOND: Ah, Ilana. Uh, Claire, this is Ilana. Ilana, I’d like you to meet a friend of mine, Claire Littleton.
ILANA: Claire Littleton, um…
DESMOND: I was hoping you’d be able to help her, um….
ILANA: I’m sorry…Claire Littleton from Australia?
CLAIRE: Um, do I know you?
ILANA: No, but this is a quite a coincidence. We’ve been looking for you. Desmond, do you mind if I speak with Ms. Littleton alone for a few minutes?
DESMOND: No, absolutely fine. Go right ahead.
[Claire follows Ilana away from reception area.]
editAct 3[Original timeline. Claire walks into Locke’s camp and goes to Hurley.]
LOCKE: Listen up, everyone.
CLAIRE: Hey. What’s going on?
HURLEY: People are trying to kill us again.
LOCKE: All this is happening a bit sooner than I’d expected, but these people have forced our hand, claiming we estola something from them, trying to provoke us into a confrontation. Well, if that’s what they want, that’s what they’ll get. Gather your things, we’re going to the other island and we’re getting on that plane. James, I need your help with something. [They walk away as Jack watches them.] There’s a bangka moored just a few hours down the baybayin from here. I want you to get it and meet the rest of us on the other side of these bluffs. [Locke shows James a map] We’ll all sail over to the other island together.
SAWYER: How come we’re not all heading for it together?
LOCKE: The bigger the group, the slower it moves.
SAWYER: All right. I could use another pair of hands.
LOCKE: Take whoever you. How about it, Freckles? Know anything about sailing?
KATE: I know enough.
LOCKE: Good. We’ll be waitin’ for ya. Sayid, you got a minute? [Jack watches Sayid follow Locke.]
SAWYER [whispers]: Give me a hand with something’? [Jack follows Sawyer] Listen up, ‘cause I’m only gonna say this once. We’re not going to that rendezvous point to pick up Locke. I got a deal with Widmore.
JACK: What kind of deal?
SAWYER: Just listen. First chance you get, double back, hoof it to this spot. [points to map] There’s an old dock. Grab Hugo, Sun and Lapidus. Kate and I will meet you there.
JACK: What about Sayid and Claire?
SAWYER: Sayid’s a zombie and Claire’s nuts. She gave up her ticket when she tried to kill Kate. And I ain’t gonna let that happen again. That’s Hugo, Sun and the pilot. Only them. Understand?
JACK: But, how am I supposed to get us away from--from Locke?
SAWYER: You figure it out. [Sawyer hands map to Jack and goes to Kate.] Ready to roll?
KATE: What was that all about?
SAWYER: Guy talk. [Kate looks at Jack as she leaves with Sawyer.]
[Locke and Sayid, away from camp]
LOCKE: I need you to go out to where I’ve got Desmond.
SAYID: I thought you weren’t going to give him back.
LOCKE: I’m not. You’re gonna kill him. And that’s not gonna be a problem, is it, Sayid? You do still want what you asked me for, right?
SAYID: Yes, I do.
LOCKE: Then, go do what I said. [Sayid walks away. Locke heads back to camp.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Sayid, gun in hand, walks toward the well. Points gun at Desmond, who is bloody and sitting in shallow water.]
DESMOND: So what did he offer ya? If you’re gonna shoot me in cold blood, brother…I think I have a right to know what you’re getting’ in exchange for it.
SAYID: He told me I could get something back I lost.
DESMOND: And what did you lose?
SAYID: The woman I loved.
DESMOND: And where is she now?
SAYID: Dead.
DESMOND: And what makes you think Locke can bring her back?
SAYID: I died…and he brought me back.
DESMOND: So, what will you tell her?
SAYID: What do you mean?
DESMOND: This woman--when she asks you what you did to be with her again…what will you tell her?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Flash-sideways timeline. Sayid rushes into the tahanan of his brother and Nadia. He grabs a bag and suitcase.]
NADIA [smiling]: Sayid. [Expression changes as she sees the suitcases.] What’s going on?
SAYID: Everything will be okay for you now. I took care of it.
NADIA: What do you mean? Where are you going?
SAYID: I have to leave.
NADIA: Did you hurt someone?
SAYID: Nadia, I’m leaving. And I’m never going to be able to come back again.
[Doorbell rings.]
NADIA: What did you do, Sayid?
SAYID [whispers]: Stall them.
[Nadia goes to the door.]
NADIA: Who is it?
MILES: LAPD.
NADIA: May I see some identification?
MILES: Can you open the door, please. [Nadia opens the door.] Mrs. Jarrah, I’m Detective Straume. I need to ask you some questions. You have a few minutes? [Miles sees the suitcases and looks at Nadia.]
[Sayid leaves through the rear door, but is tripped sa pamamagitan ng a hose held sa pamamagitan ng Sawyer, who points a gun at Sayid.]
SAWYER: That’s good, stay down. [Handcuffs Sayid.] Sayid Jarrah, you’re under arrest.
editAct 4[Original timeline. Sawyer peers out from the jungle to a bangka off shore.]
SAWYER: Thar she blows. [Sawyer and Kate walk onto the beach.] You ready to get wet?
KATE: Ah. You sure this is a good idea?
SAWYER: You see a bridge?
KATE: Going back to get Locke.
SAWYER: Of course not. It’s a terrible idea, which is why we ain’t doing it.
KATE: What?
SAWYER: We’re gonna ditch Locke. You, me Jack, Hurley, Sun and that pilot that looks like he’s stepped off the set of a Burt Reynolds movie.
KATE: When were you planning on telling me this?
SAWYER: Now.
KATE: Wait. You didn’t say Claire.
SAWYER: She ain’t coming. The Claire you came back for is gone.
KATE: I promised I would bring her back.
SAWYER: That was before she started drinkin’ Locke’s kool-aid. She’s dangerous, you really want her around Aaron? Let’s go. We ain’t got much time.
[Sawyer and Kate swim to boat.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Locke leads his group through the jungle.]
JACK: Hey, Claire.
CLAIRE: Jack.
JACK: How long have you been with Locke?
CLAIRE: Ever since you left.
JACK: So you trust him?
CLAIRE: Yeah.
JACKS: Why?
CLAIRE: ‘Cause he’s the only one that didn’t abandon me.
[Locke’s followers are walking single file and go in the direction that he points. Locke looks down the line and talks to Sun.]
LOCKE: Sun. Have you seen Sayid? He was supposed to catch up with us about a half a mile back. [She doesn’t answer.] Oh, the silent treatment?
[She takes out a note pad from her bag and writes]: “You did this to me!”
LOCKE [scoffs]: I’m sorry, Sun, but I didn’t do anything to you. [Locke touches Cindy’s shoulder.] James should be on his way sa pamamagitan ng now. Just keep everyone moving to the beach, I’ll catch up with you there.
CINDY: Where are you going?
LOCKE: I wanna make sure nobody got left behind.
[Jack watches Locke leave.]
JACK: Hurley, wait up.
HURLEY: Yeah?
JACK: Sun. [Sun and Lapidus go over to Jack and Hurley. Claire is observing.] We have to go now.
LAPIDUS: Go where?
JACK: There’s no time. We just gotta go. Follow me.
HURLEY: Um, I think we should stick to Sawyer’s plan, or he’ll be really pissed.
JACK: This is Sawyer’s plan. Let’s go!
[Claire angrily watches as Jack, Hurley, Sun, Lapidus trot away.]
