[Shot of Sayid passed out.]
Hurley
He wasn't on the plane.
Kate
Who wasn't on the plane?
Hurley
Ethan, that Canadian guy, he wasn't on the passenger manifest.
Jack
Where well the hell is he?
Hurley I don't know. I saw him yesterday, but now. . .
Jack (yelling out)
Has anyone seen Ethan?
Kate
Sayid's leg.
Jack
Has anyone seen Ethan?
Michael
Yeah, yeah. He went to go get some wood. He took off on the path to the beach. Is he okay? What happened?
Jack Where's Charlie?
Kate What?
Jack
Where's Charlie?
Locke He went after Claire.
[Shot of Locke and Jack running through the jungle.]
Locke (stopping short)
Jack!
[Shot of Claire's bag.]
Jack
She was moving back to the beach. Claire. That's hers. What happened? What. . .
Locke I don't know. Footprints. At least three distinct sets all over
the place. It looks like there might have been a struggle.
[Locke sees something.]
Jack
What? What is it?
Locke
Drag marks. Here. And Here.
Jack Claire and Charlie, they were together.
Locke
I think they've been taken.
Jack (yelling out)
Claire. Charlie. Claire.
Locke
Jack. Jack. (He puts his finger to his mouth.) Shhhh.
[Shot of a broken branch. Locke approaching, showing it to Jack.]
Locke
Tracks are still fresh.
Jack This doesn't make any sense. How can one man drag off two people, one of them pregnant.
Locke
You're asking the wrong question. Not how, why.
Jack You think it was Ethan.
Locke It certainly feels like it was Ethan, doesn't it?
Jack
By himself. How?
Locke
We can't account for all of our people. And, more importantly, who's to say they're even our people?
Jack
What?
Locke
Sayid said there were others.
Jack
Sayid said we're not alone.
Locke
Semantics.
Jack
Sayid's injured. We're not even sure where he went. He's delirious.
Locke
I'm just telling you what the ground is telling me.
Jack
So which way is the ground telling you they went?
Locke
Jack, we don't know what's going on here.
Jack
We know enough.
Locke
We need to prepare. We could be back at the caves in 10 minutes, organize a search party, get wea. . .
Jack
Which way did they go, Locke?
[Locke points with his knife.]
[Shot of Jack running through the jungle.]
[Flashback: Jack in surgery.]
Nurse
. . . stats are dropping.
Jack
C'mon, c'mon.
Nurse 2
BP's falling. She's bleeding out.
Jack
No, I've got the artery almost there.
Nurse 2
She's in arrest.
Jack
1 milligram epi. Let's get the crash cart over here. Alright, artery's sealed. Close her up.
Nurse
Defib.
Jack
Charge?
Nurse
Charge.
Jack
Clear. (It doesn't work). Charge.
Nurse
We're charged.
Jack
Clear.
[It doesn't work, Jack starts doing CPR.]
Jack
C'mon, c'mon Beth now, c'mon. C'mon back. C'mon
[Shot of Jack's father.]
Dr. Shepard
Call it.
Jack (still giving CPR)
Come back. Come back. Come on baby, c'mon. You can do this. C'mon. C'mon.
Dr. Shepard
Call it, Jack. It's over, call it.
Jack (takes his mask off)
You call it.
[Back to the island.]
Kate
You let him go alone?
Locke
Don't worry. I'll catch up. What's the word from the beach?
Kate
Nothing. I'm telling you, no one has seen him.
[Locke gives Kate a knife.]
Kate
I'm coming with you.
Locke
I figured you might.
Shannon (to Boone who's walking toward Locke and Kate)
What are you doing? We need to get our water and get to the beach. . .
Boone
I heard you're forming a search party. Can I help?
Shannon
This is a deserted island. There's no choppers, no Amber Alert. How exactly are you going to find them?
Locke
By following Ethan's trail. No one can walk through the wilderness
without leaving signs, bending blades of grass, breaking twigs,
especially with captives in tow. And yes, I could use another hand if
you're up for it.
Boone
I'm up for it.
Locke (handing him a knife)
Then let's get moving.
[Shot of them walking away.]
[Shot of Walt with Vincent]
Walt
I could bring Vincent, and he could sniff something that belonged to Charlie. I can help.
Michael
I said no, man. Hey, Locke. Hey, look, a lot of us don't just want to sit here waiting for news.
Locke
Thanks, but we're set. Anyone else is just going to slow us down.
Michael
Okay. Maybe I'll just put together another party.
Locke
Good idea. We're going north. I suggest you go south.
[Shot of Walt looking at dad. Shot of Michael looking embarrassed.]
Michael (to Walt)
C'mon.
[Shot of Jack running, stopping, confused about where he's going. He finds a broken branch.
Shot of woman on operating table, dead, being covered with blanket.]
Dr. Shepard
I never thought I'd see the day, Jack. You barge into my O.R. You work on my patient.
Jack
You didn't have to do this procedure.
Dr. Shepard
I don't have to do anything.
Jack
Yeah, of course you don't.
Dr. Shepard
I chose to do this procedure, this emergency procedure, because when this girl crashed in the ER, they called me.
Jack
I was right upstairs.
Dr. Shepard
And you should have stayed upstairs. And how did you find out?
Jack
One of the nurses came to get me.
Dr. Shepard
Who?... Oh, thank god I have you and some anonymous nurse to rescue me.
Jack
She told me that your hands were shaking.
Dr. Shepard
My hands were not. . .
Jack
You cut her hepatic artery.
Dr. Shepard
She was in a car crash, Jack. Her insides were a mess.
Jack
You made a mistake.
Dr. Shepard
They called me. I. . .
Jack
I don't care whether they called you. You made a mistake.
Dr. Shepard
Are you lecturing me? You tell me, if you were upstairs, and I was
in a restaurant having lunch, then why did they call me?
Jack
How many drinks did you have at lunch, Dad?
[Back to the island.]
Locke
Jack. Jack. Good thing you were going in a circle. Not much of a
search grid, but we never would have found you otherwise.
Kate (to Jack)
Did you find anything?
Jack
No.
Locke
You should go back to the caves. . . Sayid's leg.
Jack
I dressed Sayid's leg. You found me, we can find Charlie and Claire. Now, do we have a trail to follow or not?
Locke
Jack, this was my fault.
Jack
What?
Locke
I hunted with Ethan. I spent time with him. I never sensed
anything off. But for everything that I know about hunting, tracking. .
. whoever he is, he knows more. If we catch up with him, I don't want
anything to happen to the only trained physician on the island. So go
back, be the doctor. Let me be the hunter.
Jack
Can we go now?
Locke
Follow me.
[Shot of Michael (with Hurley filling water bottles)]
Michael
I'm trying to help and all the guy can tell me is go south? Like what? I'm going to get in his way or something?
Hurley
We're all tweaked man. Locke's just feeling it like the rest of us.
Michael
So, what? There's five other guys who would've gone out there with
me, putting our necks on the line to find Charlie and Claire. All I'm
saying is I'm getting sick of getting treated like a second class
citizen around here because Mount Baldy can bag a boar.
Walt
He knows a lot more than how to catch a boar. Mr. Locke is a
warrior. He can hunt, he can track stuff, and he's the only who brought
knives. So, if it were me, I would listen to him.
Michael
Well, I don't want you to. You understand?
[Walt nods.]
Michael
You stay with Hurley. I may not be a warrior, but I am going south.
Hurley
Back home, I'm known of something of a warrior myself.
[Walt shakes his head.
Shot of Locke ripping fabric with his teeth.]
Locke
We mark our progress by line of sight. We tie these off so we don't get lost.
Boone
You can lead us back to camp, right?
Locke
If nothing happens to me.
Boone
Maybe I better take marker detail.
[Locke smiles. Jack and Kate run up.]
Jack
Anything?
Locke
Not yet.
Jack
If you can't find the trail. . .
Locke
I'll pick it up again. We need to rest for a minute, get our clarity back.
Jack
You're going to take a break? It's got to be almost 4 o'clock. When the sun sets there's no way. . .
Locke
It's 4:25. And, yes, I'm taking a break.
Kate (to Jack)
Can I talk to you for a sec? (they walk away) Would it kill you to give the guy a little space?
Jack
It might.
Kate
Stop that.
Jack
What?
Kate
That. What's going on?
Jack
I didn't believe her, Claire. I gave her a sedative.
Kate
Jack, you can't. . .
Jack
She told me someone was after her, that she was being attacked,
and I. She just seemed so out of it. I thought that her pregnancy was
amping up her stress. I.. I didn't believe her.
Locke (from afar)
Jack!
[Shot of Locke's hand with Charlie's "L". Shot of Charlie writing the "L".]
Kate
What is it?
Locke (referring to the "L")
Look familiar?
Jack
Yeah, it's Charlie's.
Boone
You think it just came off?
Jack
No. He's leaving us a trail.
[Locke nods.]
[Shot of search party.]
Jack
They went this way.
Locke
I'm not so sure. There's another trail here.
Jack
What do mean, another?
Locke
These are footprints. People moved off this way.
Jack
Charlie's leaving these for us to follow (the finger tapes). They went that way.
Kate
Unless Charlie isn't the one leaving them. If Ethan knows that
we're behind him, he could be setting up a dummy trail. Take off in one
direction, double-back his own footprints.
Boone
Wait? Now you're a tracker?
Locke
You're just full of surprises.
Jack
So, we've got two trails. Let's split up, I'll take that one.
Locke
No. We should stay together, Jack.
Jack
Why? We've got two trails, and apparently, two trackers.
Locke
Be careful.
[They move off in two directions.
Shot of Sawyer walking in the jungle.]
Sawyer
Who got taken by what?
Walt
Charlie and Claire, they think Ethan took them.
Sawyer
Ethan?
Walt
Yeah.
Sawyer
Took them why? And who the hell's Ethan?
Walt
I don't know. He wasn't on the list thing, the manifest.
Sawyer
Ever think he might have lied about his name?
Walt
It's stupid to lie about your name.
Sawyer
Alrighty, Tattoo, where do you think Ethan came from?
Walt
Maybe he was already on the island before we were.
Sawyer
You got yourself one hell of an imagination, kid.
Walt
There could be lot's of other people on the island.
Sawyer
So a tribe of evil natives planted a ringer in the camp to kidnap
a pregnant girl and a reject from VH-1 has-beens. Yeah, fiendishly
clever. And why am I getting the evening news from a 6 year old.
Walt
I'm 10.
Sawyer
Okay, then it must be true.
Walt
If you don't believe me, ask Sayid. He said we're not alone.
Sawyer
Sayid's back?
[Walt looks triumphant and walks away.
Shot of Boone tying red fabric to a tree.]
Boone
Red shirt.
Locke
Huh?
Boone
Ever watch Star Trek?
Locke
Nah. Not really.
Boone
The crew guys that would go down to the planet with the main guys,
the captain and the guy with the pointy ears, they always wore red
shirts. And they always got killed.
Locke
Yeah?
Boone
Yeah.
Locke
Sounds like a piss-poor captain.
Boone
What do you do in the real world Mr. Locke?
Locke
It's John.
Boone.
John.
Locke
Why don't you guess?
Boone
Well, you're either a taxidermist or a hitman?
Locke (laughs)
I was a regional collection supervisor for a box company.
Boone
A box company?
Locke
They made boxes.
Boone
Yeah, right.
[Shot of Kate running after Jack.]
Kate
Please, slow down.
Jack
You said they went this way.
Kate
I think they went this way. I'm not as good as Locke is.
Jack
So where did you pick up the tracking skills, Kate? Was that before or after you were on the run?
Kate
I'm trying to help Jack.
Jack
You know what might help? A little honesty. Just give me something real, anything.
Kate
My dad was in the army. Ranger Battalion. He was stationed in Fort
Lewis, Washington State. We'd go hiking together. One day we spend 8
hours tracking deer. Being in the woods, it was like, it was like his
religion. That was real. Anything you want to share, Jack?
Flashback: Jack walks into his father's office.
Dr. Shepard
Oh, thanks for coming in Jack. Have a seat. (Dr. Shepard turns a document around for Jack to see).
Jack
What does it say?
Dr. Shepard
The truth, that a patient was brought to the ER following a car
accident, rushed into surgery with massive internal bleeding, you
joined me, and in spite of our most heroic efforts, the patient
succumbed to her injuries.
Jack
Looks like you fixed everything but the patient. You had no business being in O.R.
Dr. Shepard
Do you really think I would have walked in there if I couldn't handle it?
Jack
You've done it before.
Dr. Shepard
That's right, I have, because I am perfectly capable of making those. . .
Jack
How can you say that after what happened yesterday.
Dr. Shepard
The problem is not that. . .
Jack
You were impaired.
Dr. Shepard
I know my limits.
Jack
I won't sign this.
Dr. Shepard
You're a part of the team, Jack. I'm not the only one on the hook
for this. You called me off. You were the surgeon of record when she
died. Accidents happen in surgeries all the time, Jack. That's the
truth and you know it. But if you contradict this report, if you
mention alcohol, well that's the only fact that's going to matter.
They'll strip me of my license.
Jack
Yes, they will.
Dr. Shepard
I know I have been hard on you, but that is how you make a soft
metal into steel. That is why you are the most gifted young surgeon in
this city. And this, this is a career that is all about the greater
good. I've had to sacrifice certain aspects of my relationship with you
so that hundreds and thousands of patients will live because of your
extraordinary skills. I know it's a long time coming. What happened
yesterday, I promise you, will never happen again. And after all, what
I've given. . . This is not just about my career, Jack. It's my life.
[Jack signs the report.]
Dr. Shepard
Thank you son. Thank you.
[Shot of Sayid asleep in the caves. Someone coming up. It's Sawyer.]
Sawyer
Well, well, well. I don't know if you Islam's got a concept of
karma, but I get the sense this island just served you up a heaping
platter of cosmic payback.
Sayid
What do you want?
Sawyer
Dr. DoRight doesn't trust me with his antibiotics so I have to
hump it up here everyday just to get my meds. (Grabs a straight-edge
from the "table"). You know, a less magnanimous man than I might just
be thinking he could beat the ever-living-snot out of you right now and
without fear of reprisal.
Sayid
You want to take a shot? Take it. Know that I left this camp out
of shame for what I did to you. It was never my intention to return.
Sawyer
Sorry, fresh out of sweet forgiveness. If it wasn't your intention to return then why did you?
Sayid
I was taken prisoner by the French woman.
Sawyer
The one who's been sending out a distress signal for 16 years? She's alive?
Sayid
She was on a science expedition. She said their ship wrecked.
Sawyer
She alone?
Sayid
She said that there are others on this island.
Sawyer
Her people?
Sayid
No. She believed that they had all gotten sick. She murdered her entire team.
Sawyer
Right. And these others, who are. . .
Sayid
I don't know. She's never seen them.
Sawyer
Oh, she's never seen them, but she knows they're there.
Sayid
If you believe her.
Sawyer
Do you?
Sayid
Maybe. Maybe not. But on my way back I heard something in the jungle surrounding me.
Sawyer
Something like what?
Sayid
Have you got something to say to me Sawyer, or are you going to
continue asking me questions you know I don't have the answers to?
Sawyer (walking away)
Tide's coming up the beach. Plane hull's almost in the water. Kept your signal fire burning.
[Shot of Hurley and Walt playing Backgammon on the beach.]
Hurley
Crap.
Walt
Your blacks can't get in.
Hurley
Yeah, I know my blacks can't get in.
Walt
My roll.
Hurley
Yahoo.
Walt
Need a 4-3. (Walt then takes forever to roll).
Hurley
Dude, would you please roll?
Walt (rolls a 4-3)
Yes.
Hurley
No.
Walt
It's okay, I wasn't very good when I first started playing, either.
Hurley
I didn't just start playing. I took 17th in a tournament once.
Walt
17th is not very good.
Hurley
No, 17 is very good.
Walt
C'mon double 6's, double 6's. (He rolls double 6's). Yeah.
Hurley
Aw, you've got to be kidding me,
Walt
I'm lucky.
Hurley
No one is that lucky.
Walt
My dad said I was the luckiest person he ever knew.
Hurley
Really?
Walt
Not Michael, Brian. My other dad. Yeah, um. . . (he rolls again
and wins). Yes! Yes! C'mon, one more game, double or nothing.
Hurley
Can't. I have a meeting.
Walt
A meeting?
Hurley
Yeah. A meeting.
Walt
You owe me 20 thousand dollars!
Hurley
You'll get it.
[Shot of Locke and Boone in the jungle.]
Boone
Still, 15 minutes since we've seen any sign. . . What are we following?
Locke
My gut.
Boone
Great.
Locke
So Boone, what did you do in the real world?
Boone
I run a business.
Locke
What kind of business?
Boone
Uh, it's a wedding thing.
Locke
Huh?
Boone
My mother has this empire. The Martha Stewart of matrimony. I run one of the subsidiaries.
Locke
So who's running it now?
Boone
I guess it doesn't matter now, does it?
Locke
I'm sure there are people who can handle it, temporarily. It's going to start raining, in one minute
Boone
1 minute?
Locke
Give or take a few seconds. You should turn around, Boone, head back.
Boone
What?
Locke
The trail's been cold for a quarter mile, dangerous terrain ahead.
If you start now, you'll make it back before dark.
Boone
What about you?
Locke
I can take care of myself.
Boone
No, I'm not heading back.
Locke
I admire your courage, but. . .
Boone
I'm not heading back.
Locke (smiling)
Alright. (It starts raining and Locke stretching his arms out to greet it, and smiles).
Boone
Do they teach you how to predict the weather at a box company?
[Shot of Kate and Jack running along.]
Jack
I guess we were right. (Jack picks up one of Charlie's letters, "T"). Where to now?
[Sound of something (vaguely bird-like)?, mixed with sound of Claire screaming?
Jack starts running.]
Kate
Jack, where are you going? Jack?
Jack
Didn't you hear her?
Kate
Hear who?
[Climbing up a cliff on some vines. Jack falls back down. Looks up to see Ethan who puts his foot on Jack's chest.]
Ethan
If you do not stop following me, I will kill one of them. (Pushes on Jack's chest with his foot). Do you understand?
[Jack grabs Ethan's foot and fights with Ethan. Ethan kicks Jack's Mandango Buttocks.]
Ethan
No more warnings.
Flashback: in the hospital. Shot of Dr. Shepard talking to the husband of the dead woman.
Jack
Andrea, that man that my father's talking to, who's that?
Andrea
That's her husband. He's threatening to sue.
[Dr. Shepard putting his hand on the husband's shoulder exactly the
he did with Jack when trying to convince him to sign the documents.
Back on the island. Shot of Jack lying in the mud. Kate trying to help him.]
Kate
Jack, hey, are you okay?
Jack
How long was I out?
Kate
I don't know, I'm sorry, you slid on the rocks. . .
Jack
Ethan?
Kate
What?
Jack
Ethan was here.
Kate
You banged your head, Jack.
Jack
No. He was here.
Kate
You have to stop. The rain has washed away the trail. Even if he was here.. you've got.. Jack!
Jack
I'm not letting him do this.
Kate
Not letting him?
Jack
Not again.
Flashback: Jack sitting in "hearing" office, about the case of the woman who died.
Dr. Shepard
We realized that her blood pressure was continuing to drop
precipitously, at which point the patient went into cardiac arrest. Of
course, every effort was made to resuscitate her, but the severity of
her injuries, the amount of internal bleeding, made that impossible.
Now, in my professional opinion, ladies and gentleman, and that's all I
have, by the time I was called in the damage was irreversible.
Suit
Okay, thanks Christian. Sorry about this formality.
Dr. Shepard
Of course.
Suit
Just one final detail: You were aware of the patient's pregnancy when you went into the procedure?
Dr. Shepard
Absolutely. The patient's husband had informed the attending in
the ER. It was, however, extremely early in the pregnancy so our
primary focus had to be on the mother.
Suit
Okay, then. I think we're done here. The final report will be filed.
Dr. Shepard
Okay.
Jack
I need to revise my statement. I didn't come into the O.R. until well into the procedure.
Dr. Shepard
Jack?
Jack
I was warned by one of the nurses that my father was operating under the influence.
Dr. Shepard
Jack. This is not. . .
Jack
By the time I got there it was clear that my father was not only
impaired, but that he had also severed the patient's hepatic artery.
Which in my professional opinion, caused the crisis which led to her
death.
[Back to Jack and Kate running in the jungle.
They come across Charlie hanging from some trees. Close up of Charlie's hand shows only the "E" left.]
Jack
No. (He runs over and lifts Charlie up by the legs). You've got to cut him down.
[Shot of Kate climbing tree.]
Jack
Hold on Charlie. Hold on there.
[Shot of Kate trying to cut Charlie down.]
Kate
I can't reach. Pull him over to me(?)
[She finally cuts him down. Jack does CPR.]
Jack
He's not breathing. C'mon breathe, Charlie. C'mon, breathe. C'mon.
[Kate starts crying, saying Jack. Jack starts pounding Charlie's chest. ]
Jack
C'mon. C'mon.
Kate
Jack, Jack stop, he's not.
[Jack stops. Kate's crying.
Jack looks so sad. Kate comes over to console him.]
Kate
It's okay, it's okay.
[Jack pushes her away.]
Jack
No, no.
Kate
Jack, Jack. (Trying to stop him).
[Jack's starts thumping his chest again.]
Kate
Stop. Stop.
Jack
C'mon. C'mon.
[Suddenly, Charlie breathes.]
Jack
Breathe deep, breathe deep. You're okay.
[Shot of Charlie, Kate, Jack around fire at the caves.
Shot of Michael coming back.]
Walt
Dad! (They hug). They brought Charlie back. But he hasn't said anything since he came back.
Michael (to Hurley)
They find Claire?
[Hurley shakes his head.]
Jack (pressing on Charlie's neck)
Does that hurt? How's your breathing? (Charlie just stares into
space). Charlie, you've got to talk to me. We're going to back out and
look for Claire the moment the sun comes up, and I could really use
your help, anything you can tell me about what you remember, where you
were going. Did you see or hear. . .?
Charlie
I didn't see anything, hear anything. I don't remember anything. Claire. . .
Jack
What?
Charlie
That's all they wanted.
Jack
They?
Charlie
All they wanted was Claire.
[Shot of Kate by the waterfall.]
Shannon (walks up)
They aren't back yet.
Kate
I'm sure they just made camp for the night. If there's anyone on
this island that your brother's safe with, it's Locke.
[Scene switches back to Locke and Boone walking in the jungle]
Boone
Are we lost?
[Shot of Boone and Locke in the dark hiking up a rocking area]
Locke
No, Boone, we're not lost.
Boone
Sorry, it's just it don't see how you can still be following this trail. I think we should go back.
Locke
Don't you feel it?
Boone
Feel what?
Locke
It.
Boone
Alright, John. I'm going to follow the strips back.
Locke
Suit yourself. (Boone looks flummoxed). Boone, you need this more than I do (tosses Boone a flashlight).
[Not such a good toss. It lands on the ground but makes a metal k-thunk sound. Boone kneels down and grabs the flashlight.]
Boone
What is that?
[Locke starts digging plant material out of the way, exposing a piece of metal. Locke bangs it with his knife.]
Locke
Steel.
Boone
Could that be part of the plane? Part of the wreckage?
[Locke knocks in a few different places with his knife.]
Boone
What is that?
Locke
That's what we're going to find out.
[They start "digging."]
