[The scene opens on Rose
and Bernard storing some Dharma food on a shelf at the beach.]
ROSE: Cereal goes on the left, Bernard.
BERNARD: So this isn't bothering you at
all?
ROSE: What's
"this"?
BERNARD [holding a can of food]: Well, this
[grabbing a bag of chips] this...
ROSE: Why would a bag of potato chips
bother me?
BERNARD: Aren't you remotely curious as to
where all this came from? You're acting like we just got back
from the supermarket.
ROSE: Well, I guess I was raised never
to question my blessings.
BERNARD: I was raised to question piles of
food with weird labels that just fall out of the sky, Rose.
ROSE: Well, honey just because you're
having a bad day doesn't mean you have to raise your voice.
BERNARD: Bad day? I had 7 weeks of bad days
on the other side of the island just trying to stay alive so I
could get back to you. Here -- my God, Rose -- they've built a
kitchen on the beach. They've given up.
ROSE: Given up? On what?
BERNARD: On getting rescued.
[In the hatch, we see the
timer at 2:00 minutes. Locke is sitting at the computer trying to
sketch out the diagram from the blast door. He gets frustrated
and scratches out what he's drawn. We see the timer at 1:34 then
at 1:00. The alarm starts sounding more insistently. Locke closes
his eyes and appears to fall asleep for a second.]
JACK [entering]: Hey, you going to get
that?
[Locke enters the numbers
and presses the button somewhat reluctantly.]
[We see Jack going toward
the armory.]
JACK [to Ana]: When's the last time you
went in to see him?
ANA: A couple of hours ago. He was
sleeping.
JACK: Did he eat?
ANA: No. It's 2 days now. No food. No
water. Nothing to say.
JACK: I don't know about you but I'm
tired of waiting.
[Jack goes into the
armory.]
JACK [to Gale]: I hear you've lost your
appetite. [Gale doesn't respond] Okay, don't talk. I was never
that good at bedside manner anyway. I'm going to change that
dressing on your shoulder. If you try anything, we've got a
problem. [Jack starts changing the dressing] So, Henry [Jack
pauses] -- Henry. I was thinking about something you were saying
before we found out who you are. This is going to sting. [he
applies some disinfectant to the wound and Gale flinches] Yeah,
you were saying that if you were one of them that you'd lead us
into a trap, capture our people, force a trade -- us for you.
Pretty good idea, Henry. And, since you are one of them, I
thought now might be a good time to use it. I'm going out to the
line we're not supposed to cross and telling them that we've got
you. And if they want you back, it's going to cost them. And when
we get Walt back you might just have been worth all the trouble.
[Gale makes an exhaling
sound.]
JACK: Did you say something?
GALE: They'll never give you Walt.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
[FLASHBACK]
[We see car on a city
street spinning its wheels in the snow. Rose is in the car
gunning the engine but not getting anywhere.]
BERNARD [on the sidewalk]: Don't gun it.
You're digging yourself in. Just tap the gas lightly.
ROSE [rolling down the car window]: With
all due respect, I have been driving in snow my whole life. You
mind stepping back?
BERNARD: Well, you have to rock it out.
You're not going to be able...
[Rose continues gunning the
engine and not getting anywhere.]
ROSE: I'm calling AAA.
BERNARD: Why, so they can send a tow truck?
Trust me, I can do this.
[Bernard goes around behind
the car to push.]
BERNARD: Okay, ease on the gas. That's it.
You're doing great. Almost. Go, go, go.
[The car moves forward and
Bernard falls on his face. Rose gets out of her car.]
ROSE: Are you okay?
BERNARD: Oh, yeah, sure. I'm fine.
ROSE: You know, I would have gotten it
out eventually.
BERNARD: Oh, sure. July's right around the
corner.
ROSE [laughing]: Well, thanks for
helping me.
BERNARD: Sure.
ROSE: By the way, I'm Rose.
BERNARD: Oh, uh, Bernard.
ROSE: Okay.
BERNARD: Oh, okay, yeah.
[Bernard starts toward his
own car.]
BERNARD: Drive safe now, okay.
ROSE: Yeah, you too. [Rose hesitates a
moment] Uh, um, Bernard.
BERNARD: Yeah.
ROSE: Can I buy you a cup of coffee?
BERNARD: Coffee would be nice. Yeah, okay.
[We see Bernard walking
purposefully along the beach. Scene switches to Rose with a box
of Dharmalars she's trying to give to Hurley.]
ROSE: I had to beat back half the group
to get these. I saved them for you.
HURLEY: No way. I'm on a new diet. Nothing
but fish and water; and fish and water.
BERNARD: Hurley, what are you doing, right
now?
HURLEY: Talking to your wife.
BERNARD: Good. Can you get Libby and meet
me at the edge of the tree line in 5 minutes? Oh, and if you can
get Jin and Sun, Jenkins and that Frogurt guy -- the guy who used
to make frozen yogurt.
HURLEY: Neill?
BERNARD: Yeah, and Craig -- anybody else
you can get.
ROSE: Bernard? What are you up to?
BERNARD: I got an idea. [he walks away and
goes toward a couple of redshirts] Hey, Richard, Rolf (?), come
here.
[Back in the hatch we see
Jack getting some gear together.]
ANA: I'm not so sure trading people's
their thing.
JACK: Well, talking to him is getting us
nowhere, so -- I think we can get something for him.
ANA: You want me to come with you?
JACK [looking over at Locke]: You need
to stay here.
ANA [handing him her gun]: You need it
more than I do. Do yourself a favor, man. Don't go out there
alone.
JACK: Alright.
[We see Kate at the shore
trying to pry a mussel or some type of shellfish from a rock.]
SAWYER: Ah, that's how it's done. [the
mussel finally comes free] Aw, well look at you. That's like 4 in
the last half hour. Let me call the Guinness Book.
KATE: You want help or not? Because I've
got better things to do with my time.
SAWYER [seeing Jack approach]: Oh happy
day, here comes Dr. Giggles.
JACK: Hey.
SAWYER: Hey, yourself.
JACK: I'm going back out into the jungle
to talk to our friend with the beard -- see if we can make a
trade.
SAWYER: Ah, the old prisoner exchange. And
you're inviting me along because you want a gun, huh?
JACK: I'm not inviting you; I'm inviting
Kate. And I've already got a gun, but thanks for offering.
SAWYER: How the hell did you get a gun?
JACK: Does it matter?
KATE: I'll get my things.
[We see Bernard on the
beach with a group gathered around.]
BERNARD: Okay, 2 months we've been on this
island -- 2 months. And already we have a water trough, and we've
got a food pantry. And people are taking showers in your hatch.
Have you forgotten that we all crashed on this island? It's like
none of you want to go home again.
CLAIRE: How can you say that? Of course we
want to go home.
BERNARD: Well, then why aren't we doing
anything about it?
HURLEY: Dude, we, like, built a raft. But
it got blown up.
BERNARD: Okay, so what are we doing now?
That pallet of food had a parachute which means a plane dropped
it here which means there are other planes that fly over the
island. So, we are going to build a sign -- a massive sign along
the beach. So that way if a plane flies over or a satellite takes
pictures from up there -- we want to make damn sure that they
know we're here -- that they know about us.
ROSE: Maybe we should speak to Jack
about this first.
BERNARD: Well, do we have to run everything
by Jack? I mean, he's not the president. He's a doctor.
ROSE: You're a dentist.
[We hear some chuckling
from the crowd.]
BERNARD: Could I speak to you for just a
second? Come here. [he pulls her off to the side] Honey, it is
just a sign. I don't see what the harm is.
ROSE: The harm is you are telling these
people about airplanes and satellites coming out of nowhere to
save the day.
BERNARD: I'm just trying to do something. I
want to get back to our life.
ROSE: Well, the only thing you are doing
is giving these people false hope.
BERNARD [looking hurt]: Excuse me; I have a
sign to build. [going back to the group] Alright, I want to get
this going right away. We've waited long enough.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
[FLASHBACK]
[We see Rose and Bernard
sitting in a restaurant looking out over Niagara Falls].
ROSE: It's just amazing, isn't it?
BERNARD [signaling someone behind Rose]:
Oh, sure, it's beautiful.
ROSE: You're not impressed, huh?
BERNARD: Yeah.
ROSE: So, what does God have to do to
get your attention?
[Bernard again signals to
someone behind Rose.]
ROSE: Bernard, what are you doing?
[Two violinists come to the
table and begin to play. Bernard gets down on one knee.]
BERNARD: Rose, I've been a bachelor for 56
years, and then I met you. And we just fell into this rhythm like
we had known each other forever. I always dreamed of finding
somebody like you, but I'd given up hope that I ever would.
ROSE: Bernard.
BERNARD: I know, I know. It's crazy. We
just met 5 months ago. But 5 months is long enough because I knew
after 5 minutes. [he opens an ring box] Rose, I love you. Will
you marry me?
ROSE: Bernard, I'm dying. I'm sick, and
I'm dying.
BERNARD [to the violinists]: Would you
excuse us for a minute, please? [he sits down again]
ROSE: I've been in remission for the
last couple of years. But now it's back and this time it's not
going away. My doctor says I have about a year -- maybe a little
longer.
BERNARD [after a moment]: You haven't
answered my question.
ROSE: Are you sure?
BERNARD: Oh, I'm sure.
ROSE: Yes. Yes.
[Back on the island, we see
Bernard approach Charlie and Eko at their work site.]
BERNARD: Boy, you bunk with a guy for 48
days -- now he doesn't call or write.
EKO: Hello, Bernard.
BERNARD: What have you boys got going up
here?
EKO: Just working.
BERNARD: Listen, I've got a whole team of
folks throwing together a big sign down along the beach.
Hopefully, it'll get spotted by a plane or a satellite. We could
sure use all the bodies we could get to help put it together.
EKO: Sorry, I'm busy.
BERNARD: Charlie?
CHARLIE: Ah, regrets, Bernard, I've only
got 2 hands, you know. Good luck, though.
BERNARD: Well, could I at least grab some
of these logs? We could use them...
EKO: We're using them.
BERNARD: For what, exactly?
CHARLIE: A church.
BERNARD: A church?
EKO: Yes.
BERNARD: Everybody on this island is
building something. I'm trying to get us saved.
EKO: People are saved in different
ways, Bernard.
BERNARD: I think I liked you better when
you just hit people with your stick. [he exits]
CHARLIE: I like you just the way you are.
[Back in the hatch. Locke
is listening to music and getting frustrated trying to remember
the diagram from the blast door. He moves on crutches toward the
armory.]
LOCKE [to Ana]: I need to talk to him.
ANA: The gun's with Jack. The door
stays closed. But if you want to talk to him -- talk to him.
LOCKE [through the armory door]: Henry,
can you hear me? [he knocks] It's John, Henry. Henry, did you
enter the numbers? Did you push the button, or not? Henry, I need
to know. I want you to answer me. Answer me!
[We see Henry looking
creepy and smiling.]
COMMERCIAL BREAK
[At the beach we see
Bernard dragging a pile of rocks toward a small group of people
there.]
BERNARD: What happened to everybody?
Where's Craig? Where's Frogurt? [no one responds] Okay, alright,
moving on. We're going to put this sign across this entire beach
which means the letters have to be really big -- about 40 feet.
These black rocks will get maximum contrast with the sand.
HURLEY: Dude, we're, like, going to need a
lot more rocks.
BERNARD: Yes, Hurley, we're going to need a
lot more rocks. There's a lava field about a half mile inland
that's loaded with them. We're going to haul them out in 2 man
teams. So, you guys double up, and I am going to start sketching
out the letters in the sand. Let's do this.
HURLEY: Hey, um, I can sketch the letters.
BERNARD: Everybody's got a job, Hurley. I
do my job, you do yours.
JIN: [Speaks in Korean]
BERNARD: What? What'd he say?
HURLEY: I think he's not so crazy about
the whole carry the rocks a half mile thing.
BERNARD: Okay, this is going to take time.
But if this is the thing that gets us off this place, isn't that
worth it? [to Jin] Rome wasn't built in a day, you know. No, you
don't know. Alright, let's get started. Come on.
[FLASHBACK]
[We see a jeep type vehicle
driving on a dirt road in Australia.]
ROSE: We're lost.
BERNARD: You saying we're lost doesn't make
us lost, sweetheart. I know exactly where we are.
ROSE: Me too. Driving around in circles
in the middle of the Outback. That's why I wanted to be on a
beach for our honeymoon.
[We see them pull into an
area with a couple of buildings and a couple of people.]
ROSE: Thank goodness, civilization.
Bernard, let's get directions.
BERNARD: Oh, I don't need directions. I
told you, honey, we're not lost.
ROSE: Bernard, what's going on?
BERNARD [giving her a brochure]: I brought
you out here because I want you to see this man. His name is
Isaac of Uluru. He's helped hundreds of people. Now, I know how
it looks, but believe me he's completely legit.
ROSE: Bernard, you brought me to a faith
healer?
[She gets out of the car,
annoyed.]
BERNARD: He's the real deal, Rose. When I
started telling people about your situation I got 3 separate
calls recommending him.
ROSE: My situation? This is why you
wanted to come to Australia? To bring me to some kind of a kook?
BERNARD: No, he's not. Rose, I made a
10,000 dollar donation just to get you in to see him. Normally...
ROSE [upset]: I didn't ask for this!
This is -- Bernard, I have made my piece with what is happening
to me.
BERNARD: Well, I haven't. I can't just do
nothing, Rose. That's not me. That's not who I am. I have to try.
Will you try, Rose? For me.
[Back on the island we see
Rose working around her shelter area. We can hear Bernard talking
to Sawyer in the background. Scene switches to Bernard and
Sawyer.]
BERNARD: If you have time to fix your hut
you have time to move some rocks. Come on, we could really use
your help.
SAWYER: What, you got union trouble down
at the sand factory, Norma Rae?
BERNARD: Come on, Sawyer, I need your help.
What do you say?
SAWYER: I say Pasadena.
[Bernard joins Rose at the
water trough.]
BERNARD: Well, I hope you're happy.
ROSE: About what?
BERNARD: This morning I had 15 people
willing to work on the sign, now I'm down to 4.
ROSE: How is that my fault?
BERNARD: At the very least I expected your
support. You had to go and attack me.
ROSE: Have you ever stopped to think
maybe the reason people are quitting is because you've got
yourself a management problem?
BERNARD: What is the matter with you, Rose?
I am just trying to do something.
ROSE: That's right. You're always trying
to do. Why can't you just let things be?
BERNARD: If I didn't always have to do
something you wouldn't be here.
[Rose looks at him, then
grabs her things and walks away.]
[We see Jack and Kate
walking in the jungle.]
KATE: I'm flattered.
JACK: Yeah, why is that?
KATE: Because you chose me to go with
you instead of Sawyer.
JACK: I asked Sayid first but he turned
me down. And I only asked you because they don't want you. They
grabbed you -- had you at gunpoint. They could have kept you but
they didn't. Then again, they didn't really want me, either.
KATE: Damaged goods, both of us.
[Jack walks on. Kate
notices a doll on the ground.]
KATE: What's that?
JACK: Kate?
KATE: It's a doll. [she reaches for it]
JACK [running toward her]: Wait, wait,
no. No don't.
[Just as Jack gets there a
trap springs and they get captured in a net.]
KATE: Sorry.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
[We see Kate and Jack
strung up in the net.]
JACK: You okay?
KATE: Yeah.
JACK: Oh good, so you can hear me? This
isn't one of theirs.
KATE: No, it's not sophisticated enough.
It must be one of Rousseau's traps, so hopefully she's not far
from here.
JACK: It could be a week before she
shows up.
[Jack struggles in the
net.]
KATE: What are you doing?
JACK: I'm trying to get the gun. I can't
get my arm around.
KATE [reaching around to get the gun out
of Jack's waistband]: Alright. Sorry. I don't want to shoot you.
Okay.
JACK: You got it?
KATE: Okay, ready? Got it, got it, got
it.
JACK: Oh, alright. Okay, now give me the
gun.
KATE: Why, what for?
JACK: I'm going to try to shoot the
rope. [Kate starts to aim] Oh, hey, hey, hey.
KATE: I'm a better shot than you are.
JACK: Oh, really?
KATE: Yeah, I told you. I grew up
hunting with my dad. [She shoots and misses.] Damn!
JACK: Well, at least they know where we
are. Okay, now give me the gun.
KATE: Are you going to waste another
bullet?
JACK [chuckling]: We'll still have 13
more to shoot each other with. Come on.
KATE: Fine. You have a better angle than
mine anyway.
JACK: Oh, that's going to be your excuse
when I make the shot?
KATE: When you make the shot.
[Jack shoots the rope and
they fall to the ground.]
KATE: Nice shot.
[We see Bernard pulling a
pile of rocks on to the beach. He sees Jin placing rocks along
the outline of an S in the sand.]
BERNARD: No, no, no, no. You're doing it
all wrong. I told you 3 rows -- 3 so they can see it from the
air.
JIN [annoyed]: [Speaks in Korean.]
BERNARD: 3 rows. How hard is that?
JIN: [Speaks in Korean.]
BERNARD: So I just have to do everything
myself?!
JIN: [Speaks in Korean.] [he starts to
leave]
BERNARD: No, no, no. No, Jin. No, wait.
Please, I just want to get my wife home. Rose. I want to get Rose
home.
JIN: Sorry [he exits]
[We see Locke's crutches in
the sand, and Locke sitting beside them. Rose approaches.]
ROSE: You're in my spot.
LOCKE: I can move.
ROSE: Can you?
LOCKE: Oh, that's funny.
ROSE: I guess your sense of humor got
trapped under that blast door with your leg.
LOCKE: I saw your husband walking through
the jungle hauling rocks.
ROSE: He's building a big sign in the
sand so the satellites will see it. That man doesn't know the
difference between an errand and a fool's errand.
LOCKE: Well, Rose, most of us don't.
ROSE: So, what are you doing down here,
John? Can't remember the last time I saw you out of that hatch.
LOCKE: I'm done with the hatch.
ROSE: Oh, now you're just frustrated.
You'll be out of that splint and running around the island again
in no time.
LOCKE: And yet, Jack said it would be at
least 4 weeks.
ROSE: But, honey, you and I both know
it's not going to take that long.
[FLASHBACK]
[Back in Australia, we see
Rose being led into a room.]
AUSSIE WOMAN: Right this
way, Rose. Please, make yourself comfortable. Isaac will be right
with you.
[The room is filled with
crutches hanging from the high ceiling. Rose investigates a wall
covered with thank you notes to Isaac. Isaac enters.]
ISAAC: You must be Rose. Why don't you
have a seat.
ROSE: So, um, how does this work? I sit
here and you chant, pray, or what?
ISAAC: There are certain places with
great energy -- spots on the Earth like the one we're above now.
Perhaps this energy is geological -- magnetic. Or perhaps it's
something else. And when possible I harness this energy and give
it to others. May I?
[He puts his hands near
Rose's face and closes his eyes. He suddenly opens his eyes,
looking disturbed.]
ROSE: What? What, what is it?
ISAAC: I'm sorry. I can't do anything for
you, Rose.
ROSE: I didn't expect you to. [Rose goes
to a window and looks out at Bernard talking to a young girl on
crutches.]
ISAAC: It's not that you can't be healed.
Like I said, there's different energies. This is not the right
place for you.
ROSE: Where is the right place?
ISAAC: I wish I knew. I'll return your
husband's donation.
ROSE: Don't. I'm going to tell him you
fixed me. I'm going to tell him you fixed me.
[We see Kate and Jack
walking in the jungle, in the pouring rain.]
JACK: What did you mean back there?
KATE: What?
JACK: In the net -- you said they were
sophisticated, the Others.
KATE: Uh, last week when the baby got
sick, Claire and I went into the jungle and, uh, found another
hatch.
JACK: What?
KATE: It's a medical station. There's
nothing you can use; it was all cleared out, but I found some
lockers. They had clothes inside -- all worn and dirty. And they
were on hangers like costumes, you know. And there was a make-up
kit, and a fake beard.
JACK: When were you going to tell me
this?
KATE: When you decided to let me back in
the club. [Jack walks away] What, you can keep one of them locked
up in the hatch for like a week and say nothing, but then when
I...
[Jack stops as they come to
a clearing.]
JACK: We're here.
KATE: Are you sure?
JACK [pointing]: That's where they took
a shot at Sawyer. Right over there was where they pushed you out
of the jungle with the bag on your head. And right there is where
I laid my guns down. [yelling out] Hey, hey I'm back! You say
you're watching us -- you hear me? We've got your man! If you
want him back you're going to have to come out here! Come on out!
KATE: Jack!
JACK: I know you're out there! I know
you can hear me!
KATE: Jack, they're not here.
JACK: I'll be right here 'til you talk
to me! I'll be right here!
COMMERCIAL BREAK
[We see Bernard on the
beach alone adding rocks to his sign. Rose enters carrying a bowl
on a tray.]
ROSE: I brought you some supper.
BERNARD: Thanks, you can just set it down
there.
ROSE: Where is everybody? [Bernard gives
her a look] I owe you an apology.
BERNARD: You don't have anything to be
sorry for. It's my own damn fault I'm out here by myself.
ROSE: That's not why I'm apologizing. I
lied to you. Back in Australia, Isaac -- he didn't heal me. He
didn't do anything.
BERNARD: Of course he did.
ROSE: Bernard, he didn't heal me. But
that doesn't mean I'm not healed.
[Rose continues speaking to
Bernard on the island as a voice over on a scene of Rose and
Bernard sitting, waiting at the airport in Australia.]
ROSE: When you're sick and you have got
something inside you that doesn't belong there you can feel it.
[We see Bernard get his
Oceanic tickets out and leave to make a phone call or something.]
ROSE: And after the crash I couldn't
feel it anymore. At first I thought it was just shock. [We see
Rose and Bernard back on the island] But it wasn't. It's this
place.
BERNARD: But you said Isaac fixed you.
ROSE: I told you that so that you
wouldn't spend what time we had left trying to do something.
BERNARD: Rose, you could just be in
remission. How do you know it wasn't Isaac who healed you?
ROSE: Bernard.
BERNARD: How do you know that he didn't
heal you?
ROSE: I know. I know.
[FLASHBACK]
[At the ariport, we see
Rose still sitting by herself getting something out of her purse.
A prescription bottle falls to the ground. Locke comes by in his
wheelchair and picks them up for her.]
LOCKE: These yours?
ROSE: Thank you.
LOCKE: You're welcome.
[We see Rose and Bernard
back on the island.]
ROSE: Trust me. I know.
BERNARD: You don't want to be rescued, do
you? You think if you leave it'll come back. And if you can't
leave, neither can I. We won't ever leave Rose.
[They hug and cry.]
BERNARD: I would offer to take down the
sign, but we didn't get very far.
[We see an SOS sign dug in
the sand.]
[In the hatch we see Locke
listening to music. Ana approaches.]
ANA: Hey.
LOCKE: Hi.
ANA: I pressed your button.
LOCKE: It's not my button.
ANA: Where did you go?
LOCKE: I just needed to stretch my legs.
[Locke goes back to the
computer and starts drawing the diagram he saw on the blast door.
This time he's not frustrated and can remember easily. He
smiles.]
[Montage: Charlie and Eko
working on the church. Jin rubbing Sun's belly. Claire playing
with Aaron. Hurley making hand shadow puppets for Libby. Sawyer
feeding Vincent. Rose and Bernard cuddling.]
[We see Kate and Jack in
the jungle sitting at a fire.]
KATE: How long are you going to wait,
Jack?
JACK: Until I get my voice back. Then
I'm going to yell some more.
KATE: Maybe they can't hear you.
JACK: They can hear me.
KATE: I'm sorry I kissed you.
JACK: I'm not.
[Suddenly they hear
movement and see a torch coming through the jungle. Someone is
running toward them making frightened gasping sounds. He falls
almost at their feet and they turn him over.]
KATE: Michael.
