Exterior. Jungle. (Day). We see Jack, Kate, Luke, Hurley, Locke, Artz and Rousseau stood in the jungle staring at the Black Rock. Hurley: What the hell? How did that get here?! Rousseau: Are you on the same island that I am? Rousseau glances at Hurley before walking forward towards the Black Rock. Locke follows straight after her but the others look uneasy. After a moment, Jack and Kate follow them and others follow them. Rousseau: The dynamite is in the hull. In a large case marked “explosives”. Jack: What... aren’t you coming in? Rousseau: I don’t go in... It’s usually Robert.
Jack: Who’s Robert? Rousseau: My husband. Kate: Your husband? Who is he? Rousseau ignores her and moves over to a large hole which has been smashed in the side of the ship. She stops at the side of it. Rousseau: So who’s going in? Jack: I will. Kate: Me too. Jack: I think you should wait outside. Kate: What? Why--? Locke: We don’t have time for this! I’ll go in too. Luke: I’ll help. Locke: Ok then. Jack walks into the side of the ship and Locke and Luke follow him. The camera fades to black. -LOSTCommercial Break.
Flashback. Interior. Liam Pace’s House – Australia. (Morning). We see Charlie sat down at a large dining table in the middle of eating breakfast. Liam Pace walks into the room and Charlie turns to him. He looks down at the floor. Charlie: Where’s your bag? Liam: I’m... not coming, Charlie. I can’t come. Megan... she’s fallen ill. I have to stay and look after her. Charlie: What?! What’s wrong with her? Liam: I don’t know... just a bug. I think. Anyway, I’ll be flying out in a few days. I checked the flight details... there’s another plane leaving in three days. Booked tickets already. So don’t worry... Driveshaft will reunite! Charlie: Only come out if Megan’s ok. We can always cancel the gig if you’re not back. It’s no biggie. Liam: I will be with you in a few days. Charlie grins at Liam as the flashback sound begins... Exterior. Jungle – Hatch. (Day). We see Charlie sat down on the ground beside Claire and Aaron. They are sat in front of the exposed hatch top which has several random survivors sat on or around it. Charlie hands Claire a few pieces of fruit. Charlie: How’re you? And Aaron?
Claire: I’m ok thanks. And so is Aaron... just a little restless. Charlie: What’s up with him like? Claire: I dunno. He just won’t sleep. Claire begins to rock Aaron back and forth as she looks around. Claire: Hey... where’s Nadia? And Michael? They aren’t here. Charlie: (Also looking around) I dunno. (Shouting) Hey, Sayid! You seen Nadia and Michael? The camera pans over to Sayid who is sat beside Sun and Jin. He stands up and begins to walk over to Charlie and Claire. Sayid: She told me she was going for a walk with Michael earlier. I didn’t want her to go. But she insisted... said Michael needed someone to talk to. So I told her we’d be here. I’m beginning to get a little worried about her now, to be honest. Claire: How long ago was this? Sayid: About... an hour. Or two. Sayid looks out into the jungle a little worried before showing Boone who is sat beside Charlie and Claire, listening to the conversation. It cuts back to Sayid. Sayid: I’m gunna go look for her.
Boone stands up and walks over to them. Boone: You mind if I come with? I need to do something to take my mind off Libby. Sayid looks a little uneasy as Boone is injured but shrugs. Sayid: Alright then. Sayid picks up his pack and begins to walk off into the jungle. Boone follows suit as the flashback sound begins... Flashback. Hotel – Australia. (Morning). We see Boone sat down on a bed in a really posh hotel bedroom. He has a phone in his hand as he dials a number. Libby answers after a moment. The camera remains in Boone and we only hear Libby’s voice. Boone: Hey, sis. You ok? Libby: Hey, Boone. Yeah, I’m good. What’s up? Boone: Just checking what time we’re meeting. I don’t wanna be late for the plane. Libby: Come pick us up as about half past. Boone: Alright then. You been enjoying your holiday? Libby: It’s been so good. Glad it got Hurley’s mind off... y’know... What about you? Boone:
It’s been amazing! I still can’t believe the raise I got! Libby: Lucky for some. Boone grins. Libby: Anyway, I’m gunna have to go. Got some packing to do. Boone: Yeah, me too. Bye. Boone hangs up the phone and puts it on the bedside table. He stands up and walks over to his drawers. He begins to empty them into a large suitcase as the phone rings. Boone sighs and walks back over to get it. He answers the phone and a woman speaks. Woman: Boone? Boone: Oh, my God! Why are you ringing me? You haven’t spoke to me in two and a half years since you broke up with me! Woman: I know I haven’t. But I need money. I heard about your raise you got... I didn’t ask for a cent when we got divorced. Please, Boone. Boone: Why do you need money? Is it for--? Woman: (Cutting him off) Yeah, it is. Please, Boone. Please. Boone: (Sighing) Fine. I’ll see what I can manage. I’ll call you when I get back to LA...
Boone hangs up the phone looking very disgruntled as the flashback sound begins... Interior. Black Rock. (Day). We see Jack, Locke and Luke making their way through the ship. From just looking at the interior of the ship, it is obvious that it has been here for sometime. Century’s maybe. Locke is holding a flashlight in his hand as they continue into the ship. Locke takes the lead of the three of them as they delve deeper into the ship, looking for the hull. The flashlight pans down to the ground and the camera follows it. We see a skeleton (covered in cobwebs) chained up to the wall of the ship. The flashlight and camera pan along and we see a further three skeletons also chained up. Locke turns to Luke and Jack. Locke: Slaves... this must have been a slave ship. Probably on a trade route to England, America. He turns back round and walks past the corpses. Luke and Jack follow him further into the ship. Locke reaches a half destroyed door and he pulls it further open. He walks through the door and the camera follows him in. The flashlight falls immediately on a large crate at the back of the room labelled “DYNOMITE – DANGER; EXPLOSIVES”. Locke: (Indicating the crate) There. He walks over to the crate and Jack and Luke follow him. Locke: I’ll carry it. Jack: Me too. Locke hands the flashlight to Luke.
Locke: Guide us out... Carefully, Locke moves to the side of the crate and takes it in his hands. Jack does the same on the other end of the crate and together, slowly, they lift the crate up. The camera cuts to: Exterior. Jungle – Black Rock. (Day). We see Hurley, Kate, Rousseau and Artz sat down on a large log outside of the ship. There is an awkward silence between them. We hear movement in front of them and the camera pans round to show Luke walking out of the crack in the ship. He is soon followed by Jack and Locke who lower the crate immediately on the ground. The other four make their way over to the crate. Rousseau: Be careful. They’ve very volatile. Artz: (Rushing forward) Careful! I’ll do it! Artz pushes Jack, Locke and Luke away and ushers them back from the ship. They make their way over to the log and watch him. They all look pissed as the camera moves back to Artz. Artz kneels beside the crate and carefully lifts the lid of it. He pulls a large cloth out of his bag and wets it on a puddle on the ground before laying it beside the crate. He then puts his hands into the crate as the flashback sound begins... Flashback. Interior. Restaurant – Australia. (Night). We see Artz sat down at a table looking extremely nervous. The camera briefly shows the restaurant that he is in – not very posh or expensive. He picks up a napkin and wipes his brow on it as he continues to look around. As the camera pans up, we see a woman approach him. He has his back to her so he doesn’t see her until she speaks. Woman:
Are you... (Thinking for a moment) Doctor. Artz? Artz swivvels round in his seat and looks at the woman. Her huge grin drops instantly. Artz: Yup, sure am. You Alice Samson? The woman doesn’t answer straight away – she seems distracted. Alice: Umm... yeah. Artz: Come, come. Sit. Artz indicated the seat opposite him and she sits down. She continues to gaze at Artz. Alice: So you look... different... from your picture. Artz: Well to be honest... I used my brother’s photo. I didn’t really have a decent photo of me and well... we don’t look too much apart, do we? We grins at Alice who mealy frowns at him. Alice: Well actually... I umm... I have to go. Alice stands up and Artz looks confused. Artz: What? You only just came... She doesn’t reply. She walks out of the restaurant as Artz watches her go, flabbergasted. The flashback sound begins...
Exterior. Jungle – Black Rock. (Day). Artz extracts a stick of dynamite and carefully lowers it into the sodden cloth on the ground. He wraps it around the dynamite before sighing with relief. Artz: Dynamite is extremely volatile... He picks up the wrapped up dynamite. Artz: Should be handled carefully. He waves his arm to indicate that the danger had passed and KA-BOOM!!!! The dynamite, and Artz, blow up!! The others are thrown to the ground as bits of Artz rain down on them. Jack gets up first and looks around. The ground is covered in tiny bits of Artz. Hurley is the next to stand up, looking dazed. He glances over at Jack before saying: Hurley: Dude... you got some Artz on you. The camera fades to black. Commercial Break. Interior. Black Rock. (Day). The camera opens up inside of the Black Rock. The room in which we are in is barely visible. We see several chained up skeletons. And suddenly... KA-BOOM!!! Artz blows up from outside and we hear a groaning sound. The camera pans down to show Libby chained up in the room, stirring. The camera cuts to: Exterior. Jungle – Black Rock. (Day).
Jack and Locke are now knelt down to the crate, carefully extracting dynamite from it and wrapping them in wet cloth. Hurley approaches them. Hurley: Hey... when you were in there... did you see Libby? Or Paulo? Locke: No, we didn’t. I’m sorry. Hurley: Can I have a flashlight please? I’m going in to look. Kate: I’ll come in with you. (To Jack; sarcastically) If that’s ok? Kate snatches the flashlight from Jack and heads into the Black Rock. Hurley follows her as the camera cuts to: Interior. Black Rock. (Day). Libby manages to shake the gag from out of her mouth and begins to shout. Libby: Help! Help! The camera cuts to Hurley and Kate making their way through the Black Rock. We hear the faint shouting of Libby. Hurley: Hey... you hear that? Kate: Libby? The camera cuts back to Libby as she tries to pull her hands from the chains that bind her. No success. We hear movement and the camera pans up to show Hurley and Kate stood there, watching her. Hurley rushes over to her and kisses her.
Libby: There’s a key somewhere in here... they threw it across the room when they chained us up. Kate: (Looking at Paulo) Is he ok? Libby: (Fighting back tears) They killed him! As Kate bends down to examine Paulo, Hurley begins to look around the room for the key. The camera cuts to: Exterior. Jungle – Hatch. (Day). We see Claire, Sun and Jin sat down beside the hatch. Aaron is crying loudly and Claire is trying to sooth him. Sun: You need some help? Claire: Uhh... no, thanks. I’ll be fine. We hear a twig snap and Sun whips round to look. There is nothing there. We then hear rustling coming from the trees, and simultaneously, the remaining survivors at the hatch stand up and look at the rustling. The camera pans down lower, showing the trees as a pair of feet walk out into the clearing. The camera pans up but before it shows who it is, it whips round to show Claire as the flashback sound begins... Flashback. Interior. Australia Airport – Australia. (Morning). We see Claire sat down on a seat at a cafe with a plastic cup of coffee in her hands. She blows on it briefly as a man walks over to her. Man:
You mind if I sit...? All the other tables are full. Claire looks up and nods at the man. Claire: Sure. She blows on her coffee again as the man sits down and puts a cup of coffee and a hat down on the table. Claire looks at the hat. The man notices her looking at the hat. Man: Oh... I’m a pilot. That’s why I got the hat. (Laughing) Seth Norris, at you’re service. Seth smiles at Claire who returns it. Claire: What plane you flying? Seth: Oceanic 815. Claire: What a coincidence... that’s the one I’m flying on. Seth: Ahh right. You a nervous flier? Seth looks at Claire who is shaking a little as she sips her coffee. Claire: I’m not too good. I’m extra nervous than usual. Claire indicated her stomach which is massive – she is clearly quite far gone in her pregnancy. Seth: Aww... don’t worry. I’ll make sure the flight is extra smooth.
He smiles as he glances at his watch. Claire: Thanks. Seth: Sorry, but I gotta go get ready. He stands up and picks up his hat and coffee. He waves goodbye as the flashback sound begins... Interior. Black Rock. (Day). The screen is black as we hear Hurley speak. Hurley: Gottit! A flashlight beams over to Hurley as he stands up holding a small key in his hands. He rushes over to Libby and unlocks her chains. They hug tightly before Libby glances down at Paulo. Libby: What should we do with him? Kate: Leave him... Libby: Leave him?! But we can’t! Kate: This is a good a place as ever to lay him to rest. The camera pans over to libby looking uneasy as the camera fades to black. Commercial Break. Flashback. Interior. Australian Airport – Australia. (Day).
We see Sayid and Nadia sat down on a couple of seats waiting for the call for their plane. Sayid takes Nadia’s hand and smiles at her. Sayid: There was something I wanted to ask you... here in Australia. But I couldn’t find a good opportunity. Nadia: What is it? Sayid puts his other hand into his jacket pocket and pulls out a small box. He smiles at Nadia who looks surprised. Sayid: Will you marry me? The camera focuses on Nadia’s face as she smiles, starting to cry. Nadia: Of course! Sayid kisses Nadia as the flashback sound begins... Interior. Jungle. (Day). We see Boone and Sayid running through a field of tall grass surrounded by trees. Boone: What’s that? Boone points to something off screen as he and Sayid rush over to it. The camera cuts to: Exterior. Jungle – Black Rock. (Day). The camera is focused on the crack in the Black Rock as Kate walks out of it. She is soon followed by Hurley and Libby. Kate:
Paulo’s back there... he’s dead. She indicated the Black Rock as Jack and Locke stand up. Jack: We should leave him here... The others nod as Jack and Locke put their packs on their backs. Locke: We put the dynamite in out bags. I’m going to lead us back. Jack, you should be at the back of the line. In case it blows. Kate looks around at the group before saying: Kate: Where’s Rousseau? Locke: She went. I don’t know where. Jack: We should go. The survivors, silently, get into a line and Locke begins to lead them from the Black Rock. The camera cuts to them walking through the jungle a little while on. A loud screeching sound is heard and Hurley looks up as a bird flies past. Voice: Hurley! The bird screeches again and Hurley looks around at the others. Hurley: Did that bird just say my name? The rest ignore him as they continue through the jungle. Hurley looks around.
Hurley: Whoever called this place the Dark Territory... Genius. As they make their way further through the jungle the camera cuts to: Exterior. Jungle. (Day). We see Boone and Sayid stood over whatever they are looking at on the ground. Boone turns to Sayid. Boone: I’m so sorry dude. The camera pans down to show Nadia’s bloody corpse lying amongst the tall grass. Sayid begins to cry as he bends down and kisses her on the forehead. The music reaches its peak and the camera smashes to black.
