FLASHBACK SUMMARY:

In flashback, we find a happy, content home inspector -- John Locke -- about to propose to Helen, when he learns that his father has died. But it turns out that Cooper is not really dead. He shows up and reveals to Locke that he faked his own death in order to hide from a couple of men he stole $700,000 from in a retirement con. He tells Locke that he's setting up a new identity, but that he's afraid he's being watched.
He offers Locke a cut of the money if he will just go to the bank and withdraw it from a safety deposit box for him.

Though Locke refuses to be conned again, he is still swayed by a desire to win his father's love, so he goes through with it. In doing so, he comes face to face with his father's pursuers, who threaten Helen. But Locke lies for his father in order to protect him.

Locke brings the money to his father who waits at a local motel. But Locke refuses his cut. Though he can't bring himself to say it, he didn't do any of this for the money -- he did it for his father's love. But in pursuing that love, he loses the love he already has -- Helen.
