[Shot of waves crashing, pans to a shot of Hurley bending over holding a bunch of bamboo together.]
Jin
[Says something in Korean.]
Hurley
Hold on a second, you want what now?
[Jin makes a motion with his hands.]
Hurley
You want to make snowballs?
Michael
He wants you to hold the bamboo tighter. I think.
Jack [walking up to Michael]
Hey.
Michael
Hey.
Jack
How's it coming?
Michael
It's coming.
Jack
As long as nobody sabotages this one, as well, huh?
Michael
I've got people standing guard 24-7. Nobody gets near this with or
without intent to burn. Hey, listen, I was thinking, chances of a
passing ship spotting this raft out there are pretty slim. We could use
something to send out a distress call to any ships that might be close,
like an SOS.
Jack
Okay, well, look I'll ask Sayid, but even if he can make something like that he's not going to have anything to power it with.
Hurley
Didn't Sayid say that crazy French chick has batteries?
[Scene switches to Hurley and Jack with Sayid.]
Sayid
Absolutely not.
Jack
I'm not asking you to go. I'll do it.
Sayid
No you won't.
Hurley
Dude, we just trying to. . .
Sayid
Do you really think she would give up something she needs for survival to a total stranger?
Jack
All I'm asking is for you to tell me how to find her. That's it.
Sayid
I was brought unconscious to her camp. When I escaped I was disoriented. I don't know how to find her.
Hurley
Don't know, dude? Or don't want to?
Jack
Sayid, look, you've got her maps and her papers. Now you thought that they were pointing to something.
Sayid
Well, I was wrong.
Jack
Well, maybe they're pointing to her?
Sayid
Look! I don't even know what these papers mean. For all I know they
could be the ravings of her disturbed mind - song lyrics mixed with
equations. [He hands the papers to Hurley and shows a map to Jack] If
this map is pointing to her, then you should know she resides here, in
this area. She gave it a name: Territoire Fonce, Shannon translated it.
It means dark territory. Does that sound like a place you'd like to
visit?
[Shot of Hurley looking at the papers.]
Jack
So, you won't help?
Sayid
I didn't say that. [Shot of Hurley seeing his winning lottery
numbers written by Danielle] I'll build a distress beacon, but I
suggest you find another power source. There must be something else. .

Flashback
[Shot of a TV with people square dancing, a caller saying: Swing
your partner dosado. Channel switches to an aerobics workout, then a
cooking show.]
Carmen Reyes
What are you doing in there?
Hurley
Uno momento, Mama, just checking something out.
Carmen
I hope you're not watching those g-string mujeres again.
Hurley
Look, mom, we've talked about this. You want me living here you've got to respect my privacy. And no I'm not.
[He changes the channel to the lottery show.]
Carmen
Look at you. It's Saturday night. A grown up man sitting at home
watching TV. You should go out, try to find yourself a nice woman.
Hurley
Yeah, I'll get right on that.
Carmen
At least start eating better. You're gaining weight again.
Lotto Girl
With mega number 42. And that makes tonight's mega-lotto-jackpot 4
8 15 16 23 [Shot of Hurley standing up. Shot of the winning ticket.]
With the mega number 42. Whoever has those numbers has won, or will
share, in a near record jackpot.
Lotto Official
That's right Mary-Jo because this is the 16th week without a winner.
[Hurley faints.]
COMMERCIAL BREAK
[Shot of Sayid turning over in his sleep, or trying to sleep. He opens his eyes and sees Hurley sitting there watching him.]
Hurley
Hi. You awake?
Sayid
I was just wondering that myself.
Hurley
So, that French lady, she wrote this stuff, right?
Sayid
Hurley, it's the middle of the night. What do you want?
Hurley
Nothing. Couldn't sleep, then I got curious. You and Shannon, you
guys have been trying to figure out some of this stuff and I was
wondering what, you know, you guys figured out about this stuff.
Sayid
What stuff?
Hurley
I don't know. Look, take these numbers she wrote down a bunch of times - got any idea what it means?
Sayid
I thought at one time they might be coordinates of some kind.
Hurley
Coordinates, yeah. When you first found her, the French chick, you
said you saw a wire or something on the beach? And you followed it, and
it led you to her?
Sayid
No, it led me to a trap she set.
Hurley
Her place is probably close, right?
Sayid
Why are you suddenly so interested in Rousseau?
Hurley
I'm not. . . just, you know, making conversation dude. Sorry if it's a bad time. Goodnight.
[Shot of Hurley walking away, pulling a map out from under his shirt.
Shot of Hurley and his family outside their house talking to a group of reporters.]
Hurley
Yeah, you.
Reporter #1
How'd you come up with the winning numbers, any significance?
Hurley
Oh, they just, uh, sort of came to me.
Reporter #2
Why don't you introduce your family.
Hurley
Oh yeah, okay, um, this patch of beauty is my mom, Carmen. Come here, mom. And this is my brother, Diego and his wife, Lisa.
Diego
Woo! We're rich!
Hurley
Nice, dude. Ignore him, he's an idiot. And, uh, oh, you've got to
know this guy. This is the greatest guy I know, my, my, my grandpa,
Tito. He's worked 3 jobs for. . . how long has it been now?
Tito
52 years.
Hurley
52 years. 70 years old, and the closest thing he's had to a
vacation is when they put a pacemaker in him 4 years ago. So the first
thing I'm going to do with the money is, uh, finally give him the rest
that he deserves. That's really what it's all about for me, to be able
to do things for the people I care about, because I really put my
family through a lot recently, and, um, well this way I can make it up
to them. You know, maybe even buy my mom a new house. And uh, [shot of
grandpa looking bad] maybe after my grandpa comes back from his cruise
we can, you know. . .[Tito falls to the ground] do some things that we
always wanted to do. [Hurley sees Tito on the ground] Grandpa?
[Shot of Hurley filling up a water bottle at the caves.]
Charlie [entering]
Hey, man.
Hurley
What, I'm not doing anything.
Charlie
What?
Hurley
What?
Charlie
I'm just saying good morning.
Hurley
Oh, right. Good morning. Sorry, I was just, uh. . .
Charlie
You going somewhere?
Hurley
Me? No. Well, yeah. Just thought I might take a walk. Uh, maybe scope out some new fishing area.
Charlie
Oh, hang on, I'll come with.
Hurley
That's okay.
Charlie
No, I could use a little bit of the fresh wide open.
Hurley
Dude, I could really use some alone time right now.
Charlie
Sure.
[Hurley stands up and his pack unzips spilling 4 bottles of water.]
Hurley
I'm a big guy, I get dehydrated easy.
Charlie
Yeah. Yeah, okay.
[Shot of waves crashing. Claire sitting, picking at some leaves.]
Locke [off camera at first]
Claire, you got a second?
Claire
Uh, yeah, sure.
Locke
I was wondering if you were free to help me with a little project.
Claire
Really?
Locke
Yeah. I'm building something and I could use an extra pair of hands.
Claire
I'm nearly 9 months pregnant, I can barely waddle on the beach.
Locke
Could you hold a saw?
Claire
Um, yeah.
Locke
Can you move your hand back and forth, like this? [making a sawing motion]
Claire
Possibly.
Locke
You're perfect. [He reaches to help her up] C'mon.
Claire
Okay. So, what exactly are we building?
[Shot of Jack with water bottle at the caves, Sayid walking in.]
Sayid
Where is it?
Jack
Where's what?
Sayid
The map. I told you, it won't help you find her.
Jack
Whoa, slow down. I don't have the map.
Sayid
What makes this worse is that you don't even do your own dirty work. You get Hurley to do it for you.
Jack
What a minute, Hurley?
Sayid
He was in my tent last night, quizzing me about Rousseau, about
numbers she wrote, how I came to find her. [Jack shakes his head.] You
don't know anything about this, do you?
Jack [to Charlie entering with firewood]
Charlie, you seen Hurley?
Charlie
A couple of hours ago, he was setting out for a walk. Acting like a loon, I might say.
Sayid
My god, he's going after her.
[Shot of Shannon talking to Sayid.]
Shannon
When are you going to be back?
Sayid
If we can catch up to him, before nightfall. Why? You worried about me?
Shannon
So what if I am?
Jack [yelling from down the beach]
Sayid, you ready?
Sayid [to Shannon, touching her face]
I'll be fine.
[Shot of Hurley walking along the beach with rap music playing.
Shot of a yellow Hummer with the same song playing.]
Carmen
You turn that noise down.
Hurley [turning the music down]
Sorry.
Carmen
Where are you taking me? You know very well I don't like surprises.
Hurley
You're going to like this one, ma. I mean, after everything you've
been through? Like grandpa. . . [Carmen crosses herself and says a
prayer] And then at the funeral, Father Aguillar getting struck by
lightening? Man, that was a freak storm. And Diego moving back home
after Lisa left him for that waitress?
Carmen
Don't mention that whore to me.
Hurley
I'm just saying you deserve something good to happen. You know,
ever since I won the lottery it seems like we've had nothing but bad
luck. Like, I don't know, like the money's cursed or something.
Carmen [slugging Hurley in the arm]
That's blasphemy. You know very well we're Catholic. We don't believe in curses.
Hurley
Jeez, ma, I'm just talking. Okay, we're almost there. Here, put this on.
[Hurley hands her bandana. They pull up to a curb and stop. Shot of
a big house. Hurley gets out to help his blind-folded mom out of the
car.]
Carmen
Why do I have to wear this?
Hurley
Give me your hand. Careful.
Carmen
No, no, you be careful.
Hurley
You're stepping down.
Carmen
I can't see anything.
Hurley
Okay, now take off your blindfold. And [Carmen falls and hurts her ankle] get a look at your new dream house.
Carmen
Ow, my ankle.
Hurley
I said take off your blindfold.
Carmen
Why did you make me put that in the first place? Hugo, do I smell smoke?
Hurley
Oh, crap. Hang on mom, I've got to call 911.
Carmen
You tell them I broke my ankle.
[Shot of 2 police cars pulling up, officers getting out with their guns drawn on Hurley.]
Cop
Drop the phone, move away from the vehicle.
Hurley
Oh, no, no, no. It's the house.
Cop
Do it, now. Turn around.
[The cop pushes Hurley face down on the hood of the Hummer. Shot of Carmen crossing herself, Hurley being cuffed.]
Hurley
No such thing as curses, huh, ma?
Cop
You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right,
anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
[Shot of Hurley's feet walking in the sand, coming upon the cable. He picks up the cable and starts following it.]
Hurley
Yo! French chick!
Ken Halperin
I would think you'd be happy. Every one of your stocks is up. Your
interest in orange futures skyrocketed after those tropical storms hit
Florida. And, you are now the majority shareholder in a box company in
Tustin.
Hurley
A box company?
Ken
Mmhmm. They make boxes, lucrative business. Everybody needs boxes. Which reminds me, your sneaker company in Canada. . .
Hurley
I have a sneaker company in Canada?
Ken
Well, not any more. It was destroyed in a fire last month.
Hurley
Of course it was.
Ken
You might have read about it - 8 something people died. But, the
good news is we over-insured it. It's going to yield you a windfall of
cash. And, when we add in the generous settlement from the LAPD for
your false arrest you almost doubled your net worth in a few short
months. I still can't imagine how the police mistook you for a drug
dealer.
Hurley
Bad luck.
Ken
Hugo, you are not the first lottery winner to believe the money's brought them nothing but trouble. It's all in your head.
Hurley
What, you don't believe in jinxes? You know, curses?
Ken
I'm an accountant, I believe in numbers. Hey, where'd you get them, anyway?
Hurley
What?
Ken
The winning numbers. What'd you use somebody's birthday, phone number?
Hurley
No, it's nothing, it's something that I. . .
Ken
What?
Hurley
That's it. It's not the money, it's the numbers. The numbers are
cursed. Dude, don't look at me like that, I'm not crazy. This is real.
Ken
Hugo? The numbers aren't cursed. You know there is no such thing as a. . .
[A body falls past the window behind the accountant.]
[Shot of Michael hammering on the raft. Walt walking up. Sawyer trying to read A Wrinkle in Time.]
Sawyer
You want to hit that a little harder?
Michael
I'm sorry. Is my building a raft to get us rescued bothering you?
Sawyer
At the moment, yeah.
Walt
Why aren't you helping?
Sawyer
I am helping, Short Round. I'm keeping watch for arsonists.
Michael
Walt's got a point. You could pitch in, seeing as how you already bought your ticket.
[Shot of a bundle of bamboo breaking apart.]
Jin
Something in Korean.
Michael
Hey, if you tied this like I told you they would still be together.
[Sawyer leaves in disgust. Shot pans from Jin and Michael arguing to Sun and Kate on the beach.]
Sun
He's never going to speak to me again.
Kate
He just needs time.
Sun
I humiliated him. When the raft sails do you think he's going to leave with them?
Kate
I don't know.
[Shot of Hurley following the cable through the jungle. Sound of
flies, Hurley looks up to see a boar caught in a rope trap with a piece
of flesh missing.] Hurley follows the cable a few more feet then steps
on a trigger.]
Sayid [appearing from the jungle]
Don't move!
Hurley
Hey, what are you guys. . .
Sayid
I said do not move. You're standing on a pressure trigger. If you take your weight off it, it will release that.
Hurley [looking up at the bundle of sharp pointy sticks]
Oh, man.
Sayid
We need to find something to replace his weight with the trigger.
Charlie
Replace his weight? How are we going to do that?
Hurley
Hey!
Sayid
Don't move!
Jack
Hey, everybody, just calm down.
Hurley
Can I drop the wire?
Charlie
Maybe if I find a rock or something?
Hurley
I'm dropping the wire.
Jack
No.
[Hurley drops the wire, nothing happens.]
Hurley [looking up at the pointy stick bundle]
I can make it.
Jack
Hurley, don't move.
Charlie
No.
Hurley
I can get out of the way, I'm spry.
Charlie
Oy, Hurley.
Jack
Hurley, stay put. No, Hurley, Hurley.
[Hurley dives off the trigger and the pointy sticks miss him.]
Charlie
Hurley, what the bloody hell's wrong with you?
Hurley
Nothing.
Jack
What the hell are you doing out here, man?
Hurley
I came to get a battery.
Jack
Hurley, seriously, what's going on?
Hurley
Nada. You guys coming?
Sayid
You all want to go? Fine. But perhaps I should take the lead.
Charlie
Excellent notion.
Flashback.
Hurley
Lenny. His name is Lenny, or Leonard.
Nurse
But you don't know his last name.
Hurley
Look, I just need to talk to him for 5 minutes.
[Hurley notices a guy climbing a ladder to change a light bulb.]
Nurse
I'm sorry, but if you can't tell me the patient's name, sir, I can't very well look it up.
Hurley
How many Leonard's are here? Can't you just type in Leonard? I mean, the guy's been here for, like, ever. He knows me.
Nurse
Our records are private, sir. If. . .
Hurley [to the ladder guy]
Dude. Do not do that right now. Leave the bulb for another time, man. [To the nurse] 5 minutes. All I need is 5 minutes.
Dr. Curtis
Hugo?
Hurley
Oh, hey Doc.
Dr. Curtis
It's good to see you. What are you doing back here?
Hurley
Uh. . .
[Shot of inside a common room in the mental hospital.]
Dr. Curtis
I don't remember you and Leonard being that close, Hugo.
Hurley
Yeah, well, we hung.
Dr. Curtis
I'll leave you gentleman to it then. Good luck, Hugo.
Lenny
[Repeating the numbers]
Hugo
Hi, Lenny. Remember me? Hugo. Hurley. Well I was just, you know, in
the neighborhood, and uh. . . Look, Lenny, I've got to know, what do
the numbers mean?
Lenny
4 8 15 16 23 42. . .
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Tivo return time 0:29
Hurley
C'mon, Lenny, give me something. Anything. Where'd you get the
numbers. Is that why you're here, Lenny? Is it because of the numbers.
Did they do something to you? Because I think they did something to me.
I think they turned me into a jinx, bad news to everyone around me. And
when I tell people I think I'm the cause they, they, they look at me
like I'm nuts. They don't believe me. But I know, ever since I won the
lottery with those numbers.
Lenny
You used those numbers to play the lottery?
Hurley
Uh, yeah.
Lenny
Well, you shouldn't have done that. You've opened the box.
Hurley
I what?
Lenny
Ah, you shouldn't have used those numbers.
Hurley Why not?
Lenny It doesn't stop. You've got to get away from those numbers. You've got to get far, far away.
[Lenny is freaking out and an orderly comes over to calm him down.]
Orderly
Alright, hey, hold on. Lenny, Lenny. Calm down. Lenny.
Lenny
Do you hear. No, don't you understand? You've got to get away from it or it won't stop.
Orderly
Try and calm down.
Hurley
Wait a second, I need some answers.
Orderly
Sir, you need to step away.
Hurley
Those numbers, where'd you get them?
Lenny
Sam Toomey. He heard them.
Hurley
Who's Sam Toomey?
Lenny
He heard them in Kalgoorlie. It's a town where he used to work.
Hurley
It's a town where?
Lenny
In Australia. Oh, god.
[Shot of the cable running into the ground.]
Sayid
It stops here. It goes into the ground. This poses somewhat of a problem.
Charlie [off camera]
Guys? You should come see this.
[Shot of them seeing the bridge which is off camera at first.]
Hurley
Whoa.
[Long shot of the bridge fontning a gorge.]
Jack
You never mentioned anything about a bridge.
Sayid
I never saw this before.
Jack
There's no way she could have built this all by herself.
Sayid
No, but her team could have.
Charlie
Or Ethan.
[Hurley starts walking across the bridge.]
Jack
Hurley, what are you doing?
Hurley
Relax, I'm just going to check it out. You guys should stay here.
Jack
Hurley, get back here.
Hurley
Dudes, chill.
[Shot of Jack, Sayid watching Hurley cross the bridge. Charlie starts to go across.]
Jack
Charlie.
Charlie
Hey, if he can do it?
[Charlie starts walking across and the bridge starts collapsing.]
Jack
Charlie!
[Charlie makes it to the other side.]
Hurley
Dude, you okay?
Charlie
I'm okay. Woo!
Jack
Okay, you 2 stay put right there. We're going to find a way around and we'll meet you there.
Hurley
Nah, screw that. You guys stay. There's a path right here, Charlie and me. . .
Charlie
Hurley, will you shut up and listen to Jack? He said stay put. You're acting like a bloody lunatic.
Flashback.
[Shot of a house in the middle of nowhere. Sound of knocking, Martha opens the door.]
Martha
If this weren't the middle of nowhere, I'd say you were lost.
Hurley
Hi, is this Sam Toomey's house?
Martha
It is. I'm his wife.
Hurley
Is he around, because I'd kind of like to talk to him.
Martha
I'd like that, too. But Sam's been dead for 4 years.
[Scene switches to inside the house.]
Hurley
Your husband worked with a guy I know, Leonard Sims.
Martha
That's right, they served together in the U.S. Navy. How is Leonard? Still in the service?
Hurley
Uh, he's, um, retired. Anyway, he told me about Sam hearing something.
Martha
You're talking about the numbers.
Hurley
Yes, the numbers, exactly. Do you know anything about them?
Martha
Sam and Leonard were stationed at a listening post monitoring long
wave transmissions out of the Pacific. Boring job. Sam hated it,
nothing to do but listen to static night after night. ŒTil one night,
about 16 years ago, there's something in the static, a voice comes
through, a voice repeating those numbers over and over again. A couple
of days later we're at the fair in Kalgoorlie and some wally there has
got this jar, must have been big as a pony, and it's filled to the rim
with beans. Fella's offering 50 grand to anyone able to guess how many
beans are in that jar, within 10.
Hurley
Sam used the number?
Martha
Yep, the answer was exact. To the bean. Men had been running the
same scam for 40 years and nobody had ever come close. So we won the
money. On the way home a pick-up truck blows a tire on the highway,
hits us head on. Lost my leg that night.
Hurley
What about Sam?
Martha
Barely a scratch. Most people would consider themselves lucky, but
not him. He was never the same after that. He started keeping a record.
Anything terrible that happened to anyone around us, he believed it was
all because he used those numbers. He moved us out here in the middle
of nowhere hoping it would stop.
Hurley
Did it? Did he ever find a way to make it stop?
Martha
Yep. He put a shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. What is it you're looking for Mr. Reyes?
Hurley
I used them, the numbers, to win the lottery. And now I think I'm under the same curse.
Martha
Curse? There's no curse.
Hurley
But you just told me. . .
Martha
You think I'd still have my leg if Sam hadn't of picked the right
number of beans? You think that floods wouldn't have happened? That
homes wouldn't have burned down? That people wouldn't have died?
Hurley
Well, yeah.
Martha
You make your own luck, Mr. Reyes. Don't blame it on the damn numbers. You're looking for an excuse that doesn't exist.
[Shot of Locke holding what looks like a row of spikes attached to a rail.]
Claire
It's a trap, right? For catching animals?
Locke
Pass me that cup please.
Claire
Ugh, what's this gunk?
Locke
Glue.
Claire
Where'd you find glue?
Locke
I made it out of rendered animal fat.
Claire
You made glue? Wow. You should have one of those shows where you fix up houses for people.
Locke
I don't think so.
Claire
Thanks, for this. Giving me something to do. I'm tired of trying to remember what happened to me out there.
Locke
How's that coming? Your memory?
Claire
Bits and pieces here and there. Nothing that makes any real sense.
Locke
Well, maybe I can help. I'm good at putting bits and pieces together.
[Shot of Sayid and Jack in the jungle. Sayid stops.]
Jack
What?
Sayid
This is familiar, this area. We're close.
Jack
How do you know? I thought she lived underground?
[Jack starts walking and hits a trip wire.]
Sayid
Jack!
[There's an explosion. Shot of Hurley and Charlie seeing it.
Charlie
What the hell was that?
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Tivo return time 0:44
[Shot of Jack and Sayid down in the wreckage of Danielle's place.]
Jack
Hell of a security system. Somebody trips a wire and the whole place blows up?
Sayid
There's nothing here.
Jack
Batteries?
Sayid
Nothing.
Jack
I don't get it.
Sayid
She knew. She knew that one day I'd come back and bring others. So she abandoned this place, booby-trapped it, and moved on.
Jack
Moved on where?
[Shot of Hurley and Charlie walking.]
Hurley
Jack! Sayid!
Charlie
Do you even know where we're going?
Hurley
The blast sounded like it came from this way. I think.
Charlie
You don't know.
Hurley
Dude, what do you want from me?
Charlie
What do I want? I want to know what we're doing in the middle of
nowhere? And don't tell me it's because of some stinking batteries. One
minute you're happy-go-lucky, good time Hurley and the next you're
Colonel-bloody-Kurtz. It just doesn't make any sense. It's not you.
Hurley
Dude, you don't know me.
Charlie
Well, all this time on the island, you've told me nothing about yourself.
Hurley
We've all got personal stuff, dude.
Charlie
Don't change the subject. We're lost out here. Jack and Sayid could
be hurt, if not blown to bits, all because you're acting like some
bloody nutter.
Hurley
I am not crazy. I've got my reasons. . .
Charlie
I think I have a right to know.
Hurley
Okay, alright, you want to know?
Charlie
Yep.
Hurley
About a year ago. . .
[Sound of a gunshot.]
Hurley
Is someone shooting at us?
[Sound of another gunshot. Hurley and Charlie take off running in
different directions. Hurley trips and falls, he gets up and takes a
few steps and has a rifle pointed at him. Danielle is revealed.]
Hurley
You must be the French chick.
Danielle
Who are you?
Hurley
Hurley. I, uh. . . Sayid? That guy you tortured, he. . .
Danielle
You were on the plane.
Hurley
Look, I came here to find. . . [he reaches for his pocket; Danielle
aims her rifle] oh, easy, easy, easy. I'm just getting your notes.
Please, tell me why you wrote this. What do these numbers mean? Please.
Danielle
I don't know.
Hurley
What? You don't know? Okay, that thing in the woods, maybe it's a
monster, maybe it's a pissed off giraffe, I don't know. The fact that
no one is even looking for us, yeah, that's weird, but I just go along
with it because I'm along for the ride, good old fun time Hurley. Well
guess what? Now, I want some friggin' answers.
Danielle [lowering her rifle]
Our ship picked up a transmission, a voice repeating those numbers.
We changed course to investigate. After we shipwrecked my team
continued to search for the transmission source. It was weeks before we
found the radio tower.
Hurley
There's a radio tower on this island?
Danielle
Yes, up by the black rock. Some of us continued to search for the
meaning of those numbers while we waited for rescue. But then the
sickness came. When my team was gone, I went back up to the tower and
changed the transmission.
Hurley
The distress signal we heard?
Danielle
Yes.
Hurley
But the numbers. Did you ever find out anything about them. Do you know where they got their power?
Danielle
Power?
Hurley
They bring bad stuff to everyone around you. They're cursed. You know that, right? The numbers, they're cursed.
Danielle
Numbers are what brought me here. As it appears they brought you.
Since that time I've lost everything, everyone I cared about. So yes, I
suppose you're right. They are cursed.
Hurley
Thank you. Thank you. You have no idea how long I've been waiting for someone to agree with me. Thank you. Oh god, thank you.
[Hurley hugs Danielle.
Shot of Sayid and Jack back at the wreckage of Danielle's place.]
Jack
We need to find Hurley and Charlie and get out of this jungle. I just hate that we're going home empty handed.
[Sayid finds the partially burned photo of Nadia. Charlie comes running up.]
Charlie
Hey, hey, someone shot at us, Hurley and me. We were looking for you when. . .
Jack
Where's Hurley?
Charlie
I don't know. He was right behind me and then he just, he just wasn't.
Sayid
I'll go and find him.
Jack
No, no. We'll all go.
Hurley [off camera]
Go where?
Charlie
Hurley, what the hell happened to you?
Hurley [pulling a battery out of his pack]
Need a battery? [To Sayid] She says, hey.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Tivo return time 0:56
[Shot of Hurley and the boys returning, walking past Michael, Sayid hands him the battery.]
[Shot of Locke and Claire still building something.]
Locke
You think of a name yet?
Claire
Huh?
Locke
For the baby.
Claire
Hadn't really thought about it. I was going to give it away, you know, for adoption.
Locke
That must have been a difficult decision.
Claire
Yeah, well, it doesn't matter now. It's my birthday today.
Locke
Why haven't you told anyone?
Claire
I'm pregnant, single, and on an island in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't really matter that it's my birthday, does it?
Locke
I guess not. At least your birthdays will be close together, and that's good luck.
Claire
Yeah, you think?
Locke
Yeah, I do.
Claire
You believe in that? Luck?
Locke
I believe in a lot of things. [He finished with the thing they're building] That should do it.
Claire
Okay, I give up. What is it?
[Locke turns it over.]
Claire
It's a cradle.
Locke
Happy birthday, Claire.
Claire
Thank you.
[Shot of Hurley sitting at a fire on the beach. Charlie comes up.]
Charlie
I know food's scarce, but your shirt?
[Shot of Hurley holding a shirt on a stick over the fire.]
Hurley
When you find a laundromat, let me know.
Charlie
Back in the jungle before we became target practice you were going to tell me what inspired this little quest.
Hurley
I think the plane crash might have been my fault.
Charlie
Don't be daft, how could you possibly. . .
Hurley
Hey, before we came here a lot of bad stuff used to happen whenever I was around.
Charlie
What do you mean, like bad luck?
Hurley
Yeah, that's. . . that would be kind of a mellow way of describing it.
Charlie
Hurley, bad things happen, planes crash, people die.
Hurley
Dude, you didn't let me finish.
Charlie
You think you're the only person with baggage? You know what I was
doing when the plane went down? I was snorting heroine in the toilet. I
was such a junkie I couldn't even take a plane ride with out having a
fix. I suppose that was your fault, as well? So how about it?
Hurley
What?
Charlie
I just told you the biggest secret of my life. I thought you'd want to reciprocate.
Hurley
Okay. Back home I'm worth 156 million dollars.
Charlie
Fine. Don't tell me.
Hurley
Dude.
Charlie
I bare my soul, and all I get is bloody jokes.
