Lost, Season Six

Jack:
What happened?

Kate:
We're at the hatch.

Jack:
Wait, they built it.

Kate:
Yeah...They built it.

[Sawyer wakes up and kicks down into the crater of the destroyed hatch]

Sawyer:
You were wrong!

Kate:
Sawyer!

[Sawyer climbs down into the crater to continue to fight Jack]

Sawyer:
That's the damn hatch, just like when we left it when we started jumping through time!

Hurley:
Dude, whoever you are you better come out now. I've got a gun and I know how to use it...

[Hurley attempts to cock the gun, while behind him the undergrowth russles. Hurley watches as Jacob appears infront of him]

Jacob:
Hey Hugo. You got a minute?

[Jacob and Hurley walk back to the Dharma Van where a dying Sayid is still lying on the ground. Jacob bends down and examines Sayid while Hurley looks on]

Hurley:
Where you going dude? Whats going on? Why are you here? I mean you show up in LA, in the back of a cab and tell me to get on that plane that just so happens to get me back to the island. How did you know that would happen?

[Jacob remains silent, still looking over Sayid]

Hurley:
Dude you better start taling 'cause my friend Jin is going to be back any minute and He'll...

Jacob:
Your friend Jin won't be able to see me.

Hurley:
[Pause] Why not?

Jacob:
Because I died an hour ago.

Hurley:
Sorry dude. That sucks.

Jacob:
Thanks.

[Jacob stands and looks at Hurley]

Hurley:
You want me to do something crazy again don't you?

Jacob:
No. All I want you to do is save Sayid Hugo.

Hurley:
Well thats why I sent Jin to get Jack, so Jack can...

Jacob:
Jack cannot save him. You have to take Sayid to the temple, the rest of them should be safe there too.

Hurley:
The temple? Am I supposed to know where that is?

Jacob:
Jin knows. Ask him to take you to the hole in the wall where he was with the French team. Through that opening you can gain access to the temple.

[Hurley looks around for Jin returning]

Jacob:
Oh and Hugo, do you still have that Guitar Case I gave you?

Hurley:
Yeah...

Jacob:
Bring it!

[Hurley looks at Jacob, slightly confused by whats going on]

Hurley:
Who are you man?

Jacob:
I'm Jacob.

Sawyer:
If she dies, I'll kill him.

Charlie:
Am I alive?

Charlie:
You should have let that happen man. I was supposed to die.

Ben:
What are you?

The Man in Black:
[disguised as John Locke] I'm not a "what", Ben, I'm a "who".

Ben:
You're the monster.

The Man in Black:
Let's not resort to name calling.

Ben:
You used me. You couldn't kill him yourself, so you made me do it.

The Man in Black:
I didn't make you do anything. You should know, he was very confused when you killed him.

Ben:
I seriously doubt that Jacob was ever confused.

The Man in Black:
I'm not talking about Jacob. I'm talking about John Locke. Do you want to know what he was thinking while you choked the life out of him, Benjamin? What the last thought that ran through his head was? "I don't understand." Isn't that just the saddest thing you've ever heard? But it's fitting in a way because when John first came to the island, he was a very sad man. A victim shouting at the world for being told what he couldn't do, even though they were right. He was weak and pathetic, and irreparably broken, but despite all of that, there was something admirable about him. He was the only one of them who didn't want to leave. The only one who realized how pitiful the life he left behind actually was.

Ben:
What do you want?

The Man in Black:
Well that's the great irony here, Ben, because I want the one thing that John Locke didn't. I want to go home.

Kate:
I'm so sorry. [she and Sawyer look over at Jack] You know, what you said back at the hatch. He's just trying to help us.

Sawyer:
I ain't gonna kill Jack. He deserves to suffer on this rock just like the rest of us.

Locke:
What did you lose?

Jack:
Excuse me?

Locke:
They lost one of my bags. What about you?

Jack:
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Locke:
Try me.

Jack:
They lost my father.

Locke:
I'm sorry?

Jack:
He died a couple of days ago in Australia, and I flew down to get him.

Locke:
My condolences. [screaming to Oceanic employee handing him his lost luggage form] Yo!

Jack:
The coffin was supposed to go on the plane in Sydney, but it didn't. Apparently he is somewhere in transit, which is their way of saying that they have no idea where the hell he is.

Locke:
Well, how could they know?

Jack:
They're the ones who checked him in. I mean, they have to have some kind of tracking system.

Locke:
No, I'm not talking about the coffin. How could they know where he is? They didn't lose your father, they just lost his body. [Jack ponders this as Locke smiles at him] Either way, your story beats the hell out of mine. All that was in my suitcase was a bunch of knives.

Jack:
Some kind of salesman?

Locke:
Yeah, something like that. Well, it was nice talking to ya, but I hope you find that coffin.

Jack:
I hope you find your knives.

Locke:
Thanks.

Jack:
You mind if I ask what happened to you? I'm only asking because I'm a spinal surgeon. I didn't mean --

Locke:
No, don't worry about it. Surgery isn't going to do anything to help me. My condition is irreversible.

Jack:
Nothing is irreversible. [hands him his card] If you ever want a consult, just give me a call. It's on the house.

Locke:
Well thanks. [reads his card] Jack Shephard, I'm John, John Locke. [shakes Jack's hand]

Jack:
It's nice to meet you, John.

Locke:
It's nice to meet you, too.

The Man in Black:
Hello, Richard. It's good to see you out of those chains.

Richard:
[terrified] You?

The Man in Black:
Me. [knocks Richard out and looks around at everyone else] I am very disappointed. In all of you!

Miles:
And as you can see, Hugo here has assumed the leadership position, so that's... pretty great.

Miles:
So nothing? there wasn't anything? No white light? Angels singing? No dead relatives?

Sayid:
I remember being shot

Hurley:
You're not a zombie, right?

Sayid:
No. I'm not a zombie.

Kate:
Couple days ago, you asked me why I came back to the island... I need to find Claire. I thought, maybe if I could catch up to you, you could help me - and then, maybe if we could find her and bring her back to Aaron then maybe all of this wouldn't have been for nothing.

Sawyer:
It's not your fault she's dead... It's mine. She was sittin' right there, right where you are now, tryin' to leave this place - and I convinced her to stay. I made her stay on this island because I didn't want to be alone. You understand that right? ... But, uh... But I think some of us are meant to be alone. [Sawyer glances down at ring he's holding] I was gonna ask her to marry me.

[Sun, Ilana, Ben, and Frank have put John Locke's body in a grave on the beach]

Ilana:
Does anyone want to say something? Did anyone know him?[No one steps up]

Ben:
Okay, I knew him. John Locke was...a believer. He was a great man. A much better man than I ever was...And I'm very sorry I murdered him.

'[Everyone is shocked to hear this. Ben and Frank start filling the grave]

Frank:
[Under his breath] Weirdest damn funeral I've ever been to...

The Man in Black:
You seem to be taking this extremely well.

Sawyer:
Taking what extremely well?

The Man in Black:
The fact that I'm here.

Sawyer:
I don't give a damn if you're dead. Or time travelin' or... ghost of Christmas past. All I care about is this whiskey. So bottoms up. Get the hell out of my house.

Locke:
My walkabout. An adventure in the outback. Man against nature. But they wouldn't let me go. And I sat there yelling at them. Shouting at them that they couldn't tell me what I can't do. But they were right. I'm sick of imagining of what my life could be out of this chair, Helen. What it would be like to walk down the aisle with you because its not gonna happen. So if you need me to see more doctors, have more consults, if you need me to get out of this chair, I don't blame you. But I don't want you to spend your life waiting for a miracle because there is no such thing.

Richard:
Where is he?

Sawyer:
Where the hell did you come from?

Richard:
Where is he?!

Sawyer:
He ran off.

Richard:
Okay, come on, we've gotta go!

Sawyer:
Go where?

Richard:
To the Temple, let's go, now!

Sawyer:
Thanks but I've been to the Temple already. I'm sticking with Locke.

Richard:
No, the man you are with is not John Locke.

Sawyer:
I know.

Richard:
Than why are you with him?

Sawyer:
'Cause he's got answers. He knows why I'm on the Island. Unless you wanna tell me why I'm here, Richard!

Richard:
Don't be naive. He's not gonna tell you anything, he's gonna kill you.

Sawyer:
If he wanted to kill me he could've done it a dozen times by now.

Richard:
You don't understand. He doesn't just want you dead, he wants everyone dead. Everyone you care about, all of them. And he won't stop--[Flees as he hears The Man in Black return]

Sawyer:
Do you read?

The Man in Black:
Doesn't everybody?

Sawyer:
You ever read Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck, it's my favorite.

The Man in Black:
No, a little after my time.

Sawyer:
It's about these two guys, George and Lenny. Lenny's kinda slow... causin' George problems... so George walks him into the woods and tells him to look out yonder and picture the pretty little house they're gonna live in some day. Then he shoots Lenny in the back of the head.

The Man in Black:
That doesn't sound like a very happy ending.

Sawyer:
[Sawyer puts a gun to the back of MIB's head] It ain't.

The Man in Black:
Something on your mind, James?

Sawyer:
I'm wondering what would happen if I was to put a bullet in your head?

The Man in Black:
Let's find out?

Sawyer:
[Sawyer hesitates and lowers the gun] What are you?

The Man in Black:
What I am is trapped. And I've been trapped for so long that I don't even remember what it feels like to be free. Maybe you can understand that. But before I was trapped, I was a man, James. Just like you.

Sawyer:
I'm havin' a hard time believin' that...

The Man in Black:
You can believe whatever you want, that's the truth. I know what it's like to feel joy... to feel pain, anger, fear... to experience betrayal. I know what it's like to lose someone you love. So if you wanna shoot me, shoot me. But you're so close, James. It would be such a shame to turn back now.

The Man in Black:
You're a candidate.

Sawyer:
And what does that mean?

The Man in Black:
It means you have three choices. You can do nothing and see how it all plays out. [Marks off John Locke's name on the wall] And maybe your name will get marked off. Or you can step up and replace Jacob and be the protector of the Island.

Sawyer:
Protect it from what?

The Man in Black:
From nothing, James. That's the real joke; there is nothing to protect it from. It's just a damn island! And it will be perfectly fine without you or me or anyone else whose lives Jacob wasted.

Sawyer:
You said there were three choices.

The Man in Black:
The third choice is we just go. We just get the hell off this Island. Never look back. So tell me, James. Are you ready to go home.

Sawyer:
...Hell yes.

Jack:
I'm not going anywhere, Hurley.

Hurley:
Yeah, I told him you'd say that. That's why he told me to tell you...You have what it takes, Jack.

Jack:
[Jack stands, shocked] What did you say?

Hurley:
I said "you have what it takes." He said you'd know what it means.

Jack:
And Jacob he's at this Lighthouse?

Hurley:
Yeah, I think?

Jack:
Ok. Well, let's go see Jacob.

Jacob:
Jack is here because he has to do something. He can't be told what that is, he's got to find it himself. Sometimes you can just hop in the back of someone's cab and tell them what they are supposed to do. Other times you have to let them look at the ocean for a while.

The Man In Black:
[to Jin and Claire] I hope I'm not interrupting anything?

Jin:
John?

Claire:
That's not John silly. That's my friend.

Miles:
Oh, that Australian chick's back.

Kate:
Wait, what?

Miles:
You know that blonde, with the baby.

Kate:
Claire?

Miles:
Right, Claire. She just strolled in here couple hours ago, acting all weird... Still hot, though.

Claire:
Why do I have to do it. You could've gotten Sawyer or Jin...Or you could do it yourself?

The Man In Black:
If I could do it, I wouldn't be asking you.

Claire:
I want what you promised. I want my son back.

The Man In Black:
I always do what I say.

Claire:
You're going to kill them aren't you?

The Man In Black:
Only those that won't listen.

[Sayid treks out into the jungle hears, the trees shake and rustle. The Man in Black appears]

The Man in Black:
Hello, Sayid.

[Sayid comes forward and stabs him the in heart]

The Man in Black:
[Startled, he pulls the knife from his chest with a grunt. He is unharmed] Now why'd you go and do that?...You want it back. Take it, I won't bite.

Sayid:
[He takes it] What are you?

The Man in Black:
Well you seem to have some sort of idea about that, Sayid, considering you stabbed me in the chest without even saying hello.

Ben:
Sayid! Come on, we have to go now. There's still time.

Sayid:
Not for me...

[Ben rummages through Sawyer's old stash at the beach camp. He finds a book and a couple of pornographic magazines]

Ben:
The stuff people bring on their travels...

[He continues to look and finds a bottle of water carrying the Oceanic Logo on its label. Frank Lapidus approaches]

Ben:
Oceanic! You know I remember that plane breaking apart as if it were yesterday.

Frank:
You're sounding a little nostalgic there.

Ben:
Maybe I am.

Frank:
You know I was supposed to be flying it? Oceanic 815?

[Ben looks at Frank shocked by the news]

Ben:
And why didn't you?

Frank:
I overslept. [Pause] You know I keep thinking about how different my life would have been if I was on the plane.

Ben:
How different would it have been? The island still got you in the end, didn't it?

Ilana:
Pick it up and start digging!

Ben:
Digging what?

Ilana:
A grave.

Ben:
For who?

Ilana:
You murdered Jacob. It's for you.

[Miles approaches Ben who is digging his own grave]

Miles:
Hey I thought you might want something to eat. I'm afraid all we have is banana and these little green bean things.

Ben:
You know I'm not really that hungry.

Miles:
Suit yourself.

[Miles starts to walk away]

Ben:
Miles! You know you once asked me for 3.2 Million Dollars?

Miles:
Yeah.

Ben:
You still want it?

Miles:
Why would I want your money when there's two people buried right over there called Nikki and Paulo who are buried with 8 Million Dollars worth of diamonds.

Ben:
Miles please? If you help free me, when we all leave this place I'll get it for you, all of it. I have contacts that will get it for me.

Miles:
Yeah right. What you going to do? Write me a check on this banana leaf?

Ilana:
What are you waiting for?

Benjamin Linus:
I want to explain.

Ilana:
Explain what?

Benjamin Linus:
I want to explain that I know what you're feeling.

Ilana:
You have no idea what I'm feeling.

Benjamin Linus:
I watched my daughter Alex die in front of me. And it was my fault. I had a chance to save her, but I chose the island... Over her. All in the name of Jacob. I sacrificed everything for him... And he didn't even care. Yeah, I stabbed him. I was... so angry.. Confused. I... I was terrified that I was about to lose the only thing that had ever mattered to me... my power. But the thing that really mattered... Was already gone. I'm sorry that I killed Jacob. I am. And I do not expect you to forgive me because... I can never forgive myself.

Ilana:
Then what do you want?

Benjamin Linus:
Just... let me leave.

Ilana:
Where will you go?

Benjamin Linus:
To Locke.

Ilana:
Why?

Benjamin Linus:
Because he's the only one that'll have me.

Ilana:
I'll have you.

[Hurley and Jack are lead by Richard to what they believe will be the Temple]

Jack:
[To Richard] Where did you come from?

Richard:
You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Temples this way.

Hurley:
So dude whats the deal? Are you time traveling? 'Cause you look exactly the same as you did 30 years ago.

Richard:
I'm not time traveling. This was a gift from Jacob. Only...It's not a gift at all. Its a curse.

Hurley:
So what you're like a Terminator?

[Richard looks at Hurley]

Richard:
No.

The Man in Black:
Because... my mother was crazy. A long time ago, before I... looked like this... I had a mother, just like everyone. She was a very disturbed woman. And, as a result of that, I had some growing pains. Problems that I'm still trying to work my way through. Problems that could have been avoided had things been different.

Kate:
Why are you telling me this?

The Man in Black:
Because now Aaron has a crazy mother too.

[Claire enters her shelter, collects a knife, and checks on her fake baby. Kate enters the hut]

Kate:
Is this where you lived?

Claire:
Yeah.

[Kate looks at the fake baby in horror.]

Kate:
What is that?

Claire:
[Sadly] It's all I had...

[The Man In Black leads his group through the jungle.]

The Man In Black:
About a quarter mile ahead there's a clearing. We'll make camp there. Everybody fill up on water. We might be there a couple of days.

Sawyer:
A couple of days? I thought you said we were getting off this rock?

The Man In Black:
We are.

Sawyer:
When?

[Some people within the group notice this dispute. The Man In Black notices them watching him and Sawyer have their arguement]

The Man In Black:
Maybe we should talk about this in private.

Sawyer:
Great. Let's go.

[The Man In Black leads Sawyer into a jungle clearing away from the rest of the group]

The Man In Black:
I wish you hadn't interrupted me.

Sawyer:
[Sarcasticly] Oh I'm sorry... I forgot my manners.

The Man In Black:
I forgive you.

Sawyer:
Yeah right....So what happened back at the temple? How'd you know to rescue everybody from that smoke thing?

The Man In Black:
I didn't rescue them. [Pause] I'm the smoke thing.

[Sawyer looks shocked and confused by the news]

Sawyer:
You telling me you killed all of those people?

The Man In Black:
I gave them the opportunity to leave peacefully and they didn't take it.

Sawyer:
Why not?

The Man In Black:
Because they're convinced that they're protecting the Island from me, when in fact all I want to do is leave. [Pause] So it's either kill or be killed. And I don't wanna be killed James.

[Having been captured Sawyer is lead onto Widmore's submarine and into a small room where Charles sits at a desk working on a document]

Charles Widmore:
Hello, Mr. Ford. My name is Charles Widmore.

[Widmore offers his hand to Sawyer but Sawyer does not shake it]

Charles Widmore:
I'm guessing you know who I am?

Sawyer:
Of course I do. You're the fella that sent a freighter to the island loaded with guys to kill us all.

[There is a brief pause and a smirk appears on Widmore's face]

Charles Widmore:
It's sad, really... how little you actually know.

Sawyer:
Well...I know you murdered all them people out there and dropped 'em in a ditch.

Charles Widmore:
We didn't murder those people. But I don't expect you to believe that.

Sawyer:
Good, I don't.

Charles Widmore:
So, why don't you tell me what brought you over to this island.

Sawyer:
John Locke sent me.

Charles Widmore:
John Locke's dead!

Sawyer:
I think we both know the guy I'm talking about's not really Locke. So here's the deal, Chief... I'll go back over there and tell him the coast is clear, that I didn't find anybody. Then I'll bring the old man right to your doorstep... then you can kill him.

[Once again Widmore's face reveals a hint of a smile]

Charles Widmore:
And what do you want in exchange, James?

Saywer:
One: The people I come back with, people on my boat don't get touched. Not even a hair on their head. And two: You give us safe passage off the Island.

Charles Widmore:
How do I know I can trust you?

Sawyer:
Same way I know I can trust you. So do we have an agreement?

[Widmore nods his head and extends his arm once again for Sawyer to shake. They shake hands.]

Charles Widmore:
Yes. I suppose we do.

[Sawyer returns to The Man In Black's camp and sits by Kate who is cooking something on a camp fire]

Sawyer:
What's for dinner?

[Kate looks up at Sawyer]

Kate:
Rabbit. [Pause] I think.

Sawyer:
Good 'coz I'm starving.

Kate:
What are you doing running errands for Locke?

Sawyer:
I ain't running errands for nobody.

Kate:
He said he sent you over to the other island. Did you find the plane?

Sawyer:
Yeah I found it and that ain't the only thing over there. Guy named Widmore set up camp over on the beach. He's got a whole team with him, guys with guns, they're here for Locke.

Kate:
So what are you gonna do?

Sawyer:
I'm gonna let them fight it out. And while they got their hands full with each other [He pauses and quickly checks no one is listening] You and me are getting the hell off this Island.

Kate:
Even if we could get on that plane, who's gonna fly it?

Saywer:
We ain't taking the plane Freckles. We're taking the sub.

[Jacob has just subdued Richard when he tried to kill him]

Jacob:
Who are you?[Holds up the dagger] And who gave you this?

Richard:
Where is my wife?

Jacob:
I don't know your wife. Was she on the ship?

Richard:
She's dead...

Jacob:
Than why are you asking me where she is? [Richard can't answer] Did you meet a man in the jungle dressed in black?

Richard:
Yes!

Jacob:
What did he say to you?

Richard:
He said that you were the devil![Jacob seems frustrated at this]

Jacob:
What else did he say?

Richard:
He said that you took my wife. Where is she?

Jacob:
That wasn't your wife.

Richard:
Yes it was, yes it was! She is here in hell, just like me!

Jacob:
You think you're in hell?

Richard:
Where else would I be?

[Jacob drags Richard to the water and starts to drown him]

Jacob:
You still think you're dead?! You think you're dead?! Why should I stop?!

Richard:
I want to live!

Jacob:
[Jacob throws Richard to the ground] That's the first sensible thing you've said. Get up, we need to talk.

Jacob:
[To Richard] Imagine that this wine is what you keep calling hell. There are other names for it. Malevolence. Evil. Darkness. And it's all down here swirling at the bottom. Unable to get out, because if it did it would spread. Now, the cork is this Island. [Puts a cork in the jug, trapping the wine] And it's the only thing keeping the darkness where it belongs.

Jacob:
That man who told you to kill me believes it is in every person's nature to sin. I bring people here to prove him wrong.

Richard:
So you were the one who brought my ship here?

Jacob:
Yes,

Richard:
And there were other people here before me?

Jacob:
Yes, many.

Richard:
What happened to them?

Jacob:
They're all dead.

Richard:
If you brought them here, why didn't you help them?

Jacob:
Because I wanted them to help themselves. To know the difference between right and wrong without me having to tell them. It's all meaningless if I have to force them do anything. Why should I have to step in?

Richard:
But if you don't he [The Man in Black] will.

Jacob:
[Pauses, taken aback] Do you want a job?

Richard:
A job? Doing what?

Jacob:
Well if I don't want to step in, maybe you could do it for me. You could be my, my representative, an intermediary to me and the people I bring to the Island.

Richard:
What would I get in return?

Jacob:
You tell me...

Richard:
I want my wife back.

Jacob:
I can't do that.

Richard:
Can you absolve me of my sins?

Jacob:
I can't do that either.

Richard:
Then I never want to die...I want to live forever.

Jacob:
[Smiles, lays a hand on his shoulder] Now that, that I can do.

[the Man in Black sits on a log in the shade, he holds a white stone. Jacob shows up]

Jacob:
Morning.

The Man in Black:
Morning.

Jacob:
I see you got my present.

The Man in Black:
Don't gloat, Jacob. It doesn't become you.

Jacob:
So you tried to kill me.

The Man in Black:
You expect an apology?

Jacob:
I'd just like to know why you did it.

The Man in Black:
Because I want to leave. Just let me leave, Jacob.

Jacob:
As long as I'm still alive, you're not going anywhere.

The Man in Black:
Then now you know why I want to kill you. And I will kill you, Jacob.

Jacob:
Even if you do, someone else will take my place.

The Man in Black:
Well, then I'll kill them too.

Jacob:
[Hands him a jug of wine] Well here's something to pass the time. See ya around. [Jacob leaves]

The Man in Black:
Sooner than you think. [He smashes the jug against the log, releasing the wine]

[Hurley has just helped Richard make peace with his long deceased wife]

Hurley:
She kinda said something else. Something you have to do.

Richard:
What?

Hurley:
She said you have to stop The Man in Black. You have to stop him from leaving the Island. And she said that if you don't... (speaking in Spanish) ...we'll all go to hell.

The Man In Black:
I'm leavin' for a little while. I got an errand to run.

Sayid:
When will you be back?

The Man In Black:
In the morning. Keep an eye on the camp while I'm gone.

[The Man In Black turns to leave, Sayid interrupts him and he turns back]

Sayid:
I don't feel anything.

The Man In Black:
Excuse me?

Sayid:
Anger. Happiness. Pain. I don't feel it anymore.

The Man In Black:
Maybe that's best, Sayid. It'll help you get through what's coming.

The Man In Black:
Is there something wrong, Claire?

Claire:
Um... what you said to Jin... about the names on the wall? You told him you needed them all to get off the island?

The Man In Black:
Yes I did.

Claire:
So... was my name on the wall?

The Man In Black:
Nope!

Claire:
Then it doesn't matter if I get on that plane then. You don't really need me do you?

The Man In Black:
That's not true, Claire. I need you. And there's plenty of room on that plane for all of us.

[Claire seems happy by what she has just been told, but at the same time slightly sad]

Claire:
When we go home, Aaron's not going to know me. I'll be a stranger to my own son. He thinks Kate's his mother...Was her name on the wall?

The Man In Black:
No it isn't. Not anymore. But I need Kate.

Claire:
Why?

The Man In Black:
Because Claire, I'm three people shy of getting off this island and Kate can help me get those people on the plane. But... once she does... then whatever happens, happens.

[The Man in Black and Sayid prepare to leave]

Sawyer:
Where are you two going with the guns?

The Man in Black:
Hydra Island, we're taking the outrigger.

Sawyer:
Well, why do you gotta take a boat? can't you just do your smoke thing and fly your ass over the water?

The Man in Black:
If I could do that, do you think I'd still be here?

Sawyer:
[Sarcastic] No, 'cause that'd be ridiculous!

Charles Widmore:
Do you know who I am?

The Man In Black:
You're Charles Widmore. Do you know who I am?

Charles Widmore:
Ha! Well obviously you're not John Locke. Everything else I know is a combination of myth, ghost stories, and jungle noises in the night.

[The Man In Black eyes the sonic pylons again]

The Man In Black:
I think you know a lot more than that judging by these pylons.

Charles Widmore:
Why did you come here?

The Man In Black:
You took one of my people, Jin Kwon, I want him back.

Charles Widmore:
I have no idea what you're talking about.

The Man In Black:
You know, a wise man once said that war was coming to this island...I think it just got here.

[Inside the Hydra Station Jin is brought to see Charles Widmore]

Charles Widmore:
Mr Kwon, my deepest apologies for everything that's been done to you. My name is...

Jin:
I know who you are. Why did you bring me here?

Charles Widmore:
We searched the Ajira plane, discovered your wife's luggage and found this inside. I thought you might want to have it. Go ahead, turn it on.

[Widmore hands Jin a digital camera, Jin switches it on and sees images of Ji Yeon, his daughter on the display.]

Charles Widmore:
Her name is Ji Yeon, she's your daughter. I understand you've never seen her before. I have a daughter too. I know what it's like to be kept apart. I understand the one thing you want is to be reunited with your wife and daughter. But it would be short lived. If that thing masquerading as John Locke ever got off this island, your wife, your daughter, my daughter, everyone we know and love, would simply cease to be. I came here to make sure that doesn't happen.

Jin:
How?

Charles Widmore:
Come with me. I think it's time for you to see the package.

Jin:
What package?

Charles Widmore:
It's not a what. It's a who.

[Widmore is having Desmond locked into a room that harnesses electromagnetism]

Widmore:
I'm sorry to do this to you, but you are going to have to make a sacrifice.

Desmond:
Yeah, and what would you know about sacrifice?

Widmore:
My son is dead. My daughter hates me. And I have never even met my grandson. I know quite a bit.

Charlie:
This doesn't matter. None of this matters. All that matters is that we felt it.

Daniel:
Do you believe in love at first sight; Mr. Hume?

Desmond:
Excuse me?

Daniel:
The first time I saw her, I was walking through this museum a few weeks ago. She... she works here. She was on the lunch break. She was eating a chocolate bar. She has these incredible blue, blue eyes, red hair. And as soon as I saw her, right... right in that moment, it was like... it was like I already loved her. And that's when things got weird.

[Daniel search out in his bag and takes a book off]

Daniel:
That same night after I saw that woman... I woke up and I wrote this.

Desmond:
So what is it?

Daniel:
I'm a musician. I have no idea. So I took it to a friend of mine at Caltech. He's a math whiz. He said this is Quantum mechanics. He said these equations are so advanced that only someone who'd been studying physics their entire life could've come up with them.

Desmond:
So... so what do they mean?

Daniel:
Okay, imagine... imagine something terrible is about to happen, something catastrophic. And the only way to stop it from happening was by... releasing a huge amount of energy. Like setting off a nuclear bomb.

Desmond:
You wanna set off a nuclear bomb?

Daniel:
Just listen. What if this... all this... what if this wasn't supposed to be our life? What if we... we had some other life and for some reason, we changed things? I don't want to set off a nuclear bomb, Mr. Hume. I think I already did.

Desmond:
Listen, mate, um... I don't know what any of this has to do with me. So...

Daniel:
Why did you ask my mother about a woman named, Penny? It happened to you too, didn't it? You felt it.

Desmond:
I don't know... I don't know what I felt.

Daniel:
Yes, you do. You felt love.

Desmond:
That's impossible because I don't know anything about this woman. I don't know... I don't know where she is. I don't even know if she exist. She's... She's an idea.

Daniel:
No, Mr. Hume. She's my half-sister. And I can tell you exactly where and when you can find her.

Libby:
It's okay, it's okay. I'm crazy.

Hurley:
Yeah, probably, but we all got something, right? I mean it takes a lot of guts to go up to a total stranger and tell them that you know them from some bizarro alternate universe ... I'm scared just, saying hi to a girl.

Libby:
You're doin' fine.

The Man in Black:
Remind me, Desmond, how long were you pressing the button down in that hatch?

Desmond:
Three years.

The Man in Black:
And here you are, back for more. If I didn't know better, I'd say the Island has it in for you.

Desmond:
Oh there's nothing special about me, brother.

The Man in Black:
I'm sorry.

Desmond:
You're here too. If I didn't know better, I'd say the Island has it in for all of us.

The Man in Black:
I couldn't agree more.

[The Man in Black is unsettled when he sees the ghostly boy he saw before staring at them]

Desmond:
Who is that?

The Man in Black:
...Just ignore him.

Desmond:
Do you know that boy?

The Man in Black:
I said ignore him!

[Desmond sees the boy smile and run away]

The Man in Black:
Why aren't you afraid?

Desmond:
Excuse me?

The Man in Black:
You're out here in the jungle, alone, with me. No one else on earth knows you're here. So I wanna know, why aren't you afraid?

Desmond:
What's the point in being afraid? [MIB looks slightly intimidated, before smiling and then throwing Desmond down the well they were standing beside]

[Jack and The Man in Black are meeting for the first time]

Jack:
You look just like him.

The Man in Black:
Does it bother you?

Jack:
No, what bothers me is I have no idea what the hell you are.

The Man in Black:
Sure you do.

Jack:
Why John Locke?

The Man in Black:
Because he was stupid enough to believe he had been brought here for a reason. Because he pursued that belief until it got him killed. And because you were kind enough to bring his body back here in a nice little wooden box.

Jack:
And he had to be dead before you could look like him?

The Man in Black:
That's right.

Jack:
And who else have you looked like?

The Man in Black:
Jack, what do you really want to ask me?

Jack:
Our third day here, I chased my father through the jungle, my dead father. Was that you?

The Man in Black:
Yes, that was me.

Jack:
Why?

The Man in Black:
You needed to find water. Jack, I know this must be hard for you to understand, but all I've ever tried to do is help you.

Jack:
To "help me?" To do what?

The Man in Black:
Leave! But because Jacob chose you you were trapped on this Island, before you even got here. Now Jacob's dead, we don't need to be trapped here. We can get on a plane and fly away anytime we want.

Jack:
If we could just get on a plane and fly away, why would you even still be here?

The Man in Black:
Because it has to be all of us.

[Jack still looks uncertain]

The Man in Black:
What?

Jack:
John Locke was the only one of us who ever believed in this place. He did everything he could to keep us from leaving this Island.

The Man in Black:
John Locke was not a believer, Jack. He was a sucker.

The Man in Black:
Were you following us, Claire?

Claire:
Yeah,

The Man in Black:
Why?

Claire:
[Looking at Jack] Because he's my brother.

The Man in Black:
Looks like you two have a lot of catching up to do. I'll leave you to it.

Jack:
Claire, I'm-- I'm sorry we--

Claire:
Did he tell you? That he was the one pretending to be our father?

Jack:
Yeah, he did.

Claire:
You know I pretty much gave up hoping that any of you would come back. And now that you're here...it's good to see you, Jack.

Jack:
Yeah, it's good to see you too.

Claire:
Well, I've never had much in the way of family so it really means a lot that you're coming with us.

Jack:
Actually, I haven't decided if I'm coming with you.

Claire:
Yeah you have.

Jack:
What do you mean?

Claire:
You decided the moment you let him talk to you, just like the rest of us. So, whether you like it or not, you're with him now.

[Zoe, Widmore's associate, enters The Man in Black's camp]

The Man in Black:
What can I do for you?

Zoe:
You took something from us. We want him back.

The Man in Black:
I don't know what you're talking about.

[Zoe goes for her walkie, MIB's people take aim on her]

The Man in Black:
No, no, it's okay.

Zoe:
[On her walkie] Show them what we're capable of.

[A few seconds later, a mortar round lands behind The Man in Black, causing an explosion. He doesn't even twitch, unimtimidated. Zoe gives him a walkie]

Zoe:
You can call us on that when you're ready to return what you took.

[Zoe leaves. The Man in Black drops the walkie and crushes it with his stick]

The Man in Black:
Well, here we go.

[The group are on the sailboat to Hydra Island]

Jack:
This doesn't feel right.

Sawyer:
What doesn't feel right?

Jack:
Leaving The Island.

Sawyer:
Wanna me why not?

Jack:
Because I remember how I felt the last time I left. Like a part of me was missing.

Sawyer:
They got pills for that, doc.

Jack:
We were brought here because we were supposed to do something, James. And if Locke-- if that thing wants us to leave, maybe it's because he's afraid of what happens if we stay.

Sawyer:
Get off my damn boat.

Jack:
What?

Sawyer:
You got a choice to make and you make it now. Either you're with you and you keep that damn crazy talk to yourself or you're going in the water.

Jack:
James this is a mistake, and I know there's a part of you that feels that. The Island isn't done with us.

Sawyer:
Yeah, well I'm done with this Island. So if you wanna take a leap of faith, take it. Get off my damn boat.

Jack:
[Pause] I'm sorry I got Juliet killed. [Jack jumps off the boat]

[After Widmore attacks with mortars, The Man in Black carries a wounded Jack into the jungle]

The Man in Black:
Don't worry, Jack. Everything's going to be okay. You're with me, now.

The Man in Black:
I need for you to trust me.

Jack:
Why should I trust you?

The Man in Black:
Because I could kill you, Jack. Right here, right now. And I could kill every single one of your friends, and there is not a thing you could do to stop me. But instead of killing you, I saved your life, and now I want to save them too.

The Man in Black:
Are you sure you won't reconsider, Jack?

Jack:
Yeah, I'm sure.

The Man in Black:
Well whoever told you that you need to stay had no idea what they were talking about.

Jack:
John Locke told me that I needed to stay. [pushes the Man in Black in the water]

Jack:
Wait. [stops Sayid from pulling the wires out of the C4]

Sawyer:
What the hell are you doing Doc?

Jack:
Nothing is going to happen.

Sawyer:
What?

Jack:
Don't pull those wires out. We're going to be OK. Nothing is going to happen.

Sawyer:
If I don't pull these wires, Locke is going to blow us to kingdom come.

Jack:
No he's not! Locke can't kill us.

Hurley:
Uhh, what?

Jack:
This is what he wanted. This has been what he has been waiting for. Everything that he has done has been to get us here. He wanted to get us all at the same place at the same time in a nice enclosed space where we had no hopes of getting out.

Jin:
I don't understand.

Jack:
Locke said that he couldn't leave the Island without us. I think that he can't leave the Island unless we're all dead. He told me that he could kill any one of us whenever he wanted, so what if he hasn't because he's not allowed to? What if he's trying to get us to kill each other?

Sawyer:
Stay out of my way Doc.

Jack:
If he wanted that thing to blow up, why did he put a timer on it? Why not just throw it inside?

Sawyer:
I don't care.

Jack:
Nothing is going to happen.

Sawyer:
It's not your decision to make.

Jack:
He can't kill us!

Sawyer:
I'm not going to stand here and do nothing!

Jack:
James... We are going to be OK. You just have to trust me.

Sawyer:
Sorry Doc, I don't. [pulls the wires from the C4 and the clock then speeds up]

Sayid:
Listen carefully. There's a well on the main Island a half mile south from where we were just left. Desmond is inside it. Locke wants him dead, which means you are going to need him. Do you understand me?

Jack:
Now why are you telling me this?

Sayid:
Because it is going to be you Jack. [Takes the bomb and runs]

Hurley:
Sayid!

[Sayid gets to the front of the sub, away from the others, and the bomb goes off, killing him.]

The Man in Black:
[Looking out at sea] It sunk...

Claire:
You mean the sub? But everyone was on board. What, they're all dead?

The Man in Black:
Not all of them.

[MIB grabs a rifle and his pack and starts off into the night]

Claire:
Wait, where are you going?

The Man in Black:
To finish what I started.

Mother:
Every question I answer will simply lead to another question.

Jacob:
What is it?

Boy in Black:
It's a game. You play it.

Jacob:
How do you know how?

Boy in Black:
I just know.

Mother:
Jacob doesn't know how to lie. He's not like you.

Boy in Black:
Why, what am I like?

Mother:
You're... special.

Boy in Black:
[as they play Senet] You can't do that, Jacob.

Jacob:
Why not?

Boy in Black:
Because it's against the rules

Jacob:
You made the rules.

Boy in Black:
I found it. One day, you can make up your own game and everyone else will have to follow your rules.

Mother:
May I join you?

Man In Black:
[sheaths his dagger] Yes…How are you?

Mother:
I'm worried.

Man In Black:
Well, Mother, you should be. I spent 30 years searching for that place you brought me as a child--that…waterfall with that beautiful light. I've walked this island from end to end, not once coming close to finding it. But, then I began to think--what if the light underneath the island--what if I could get to it from someplace else? Figuring out how to reach it took a very long time.

Mother:
The people with you, they saw this, too?

Man In Black:
Yes, they have some very interesting ideas about what to do with it.

Mother:
Do with it? You don't' have any idea wh--

Man In Black:
I have no idea because you wouldn't tell me, Mother.

[Man In Black dislodges a stone, which allows light to filter in - Mother notices a large, wooden wheel leaning against the cavern wall]

Mother:
What is that?

Man In Black:
It's a wheel…We're going to make an opening…one much bigger than this one; and, then I'm going to attach that wheel to a system we're building. A system that channels the water and the light. And then I'm gonna turn it. And when I do…I'll finally be able to leave this place.

Mother:
How do you know all this? How do you know it will work?

Man In Black:
I'm special…Mother.

[Mother has brought Jacob to the cave of light]

Mother:
Do you recognize this place?

Jacob:
Yes,

Mother:
Do you remember what I showed you here?

Jacob:
The light.

Mother:
You're going to protect it now.

Jacob:
What's down there?

Mother:
Life. Death. Rebirth. It's the source. The Heart of the Island. Just promise me that no matter what you do, you won't ever go down there.

Jacob:
Would I die?

Mother:
It would be worse than dying, Jacob. Much worse. [She pulls out a jug of wine and pours some into a cup. She whispers a Latin incantation over it] Here, drink this.

Jacob:
What happens if I do?

Mother:
You will accept the responsibility that you will protect this place for as long as you can. And then you'll have to find your replacement.

Jacob:
I don't want to protect this place.

Mother:
Someone has to.

Jacob:
I don't care.

Mother:
My time is over.

Jacob:
Why, why is your time over?

Mother:
It has to be you, Jacob!

Jacob:
No it doesn't, you wanted it to be him [The Man in Black]! But now I'm all you have.

Mother:
It was always supposed to be you, Jacob. I see that now. And one day you'll see it too. But until then, you don't really have a choice. Now please, take the cup and drink.

[Jacob drinks from the cup]

Mother:
Now you and I are the same.

[Ben, Miles, and Richard are on their way to The Barracks]

Miles:
You sure this is a shortcut?

Ben:
I lived in these houses a long time, Miles. I think I can remember how to get there.

Miles:
Yeah well, I lived in these houses thirty years before you did; otherwise known as last week. And I have no idea where the hell we are.

Ben:
Guess it's a good thing you're following me.

[While helping to get C4 from Ben's secret room, Miles notices an ancient looking door]

Miles:
What's in there? A secret-er room?

Ben:
It was the room I used to summon The Monster. But that was before I realized it was summoning me.

[Miles looks confused; Ben opens his case of C4]

Ben:
Well Richard, I don't know how much we need. Are we planning on disabling the plane or blow it to hell?

Richard:
Blow it to hell.

Ben:
Than we'd better take it all.

[Ben has given up Widmore and Zoe to the Man in Black]

Ben:
Sorry, Charles.

The Man in Black:
What a pleasant surprise. How nice to finally talk to you without those fences between us.[Looks to Zoe] And who might you be?

Zoe:
Zoe, my name is Zoe--

Widmore:
Don't talk to him. Don't say anything!

[The Man in Black interrupts by swiftly slitting Zoe's throat with his knife, she collapses in Widmore's arms dying]

Widmore:
Why would you do that?

The Man in Black:
You told her not to talk to me. That made her pointless. Now... Charles, it's clear you're not afraid to die. So there's only one way to motivate you to tell me what I want to know. Soon this will all be over. I'll get what I want. And I'll finally leave this Island. And when I do, the first thing I'm gonna do is kill your daughter. Penny.

Widmore:
You'll kill her whether I talk to you or not.

The Man in Black:
No, I won't. I give you my word.

Widmore:
And I'm supposed to just take your word?

The Man in Black:
You tell me why you came back here and I will not hurt your daughter.

Widmore:
I brought Desmond Hume back here because of his unique resistance to electromagnetism. He was a measure of last resort.

The Man in Black:
What do you mean "last resort?"

Widmore:
[Looks at Ben] I'm not saying any more in front of him.

The Man in Black:
Well than whisper to me.

[Widmore whispers in MIB's ear, before he is shot several times by Ben, killing him]

Ben:
He doesn't get to save his daughter.

The Man in Black:
Ben...You never cease to amaze me. Fortunately, he already told me what I needed to know. So, no harm done.

Ben:
Good...Did you say there were some other people to kill?

Kate:
So you're the one who wrote our names on the wall?

Jacob:
I am.

Kate:
Sun and Jin Kwon and Sayid Jarrah. You wrote their names on the wall?

Jacob:
Yes,

Kate:
Is that why they're dead?

Jacob:
I'm very sorry.

Kate:
You're sorry?

Hurley:
Kate...

Kate:
No, I wanna know why. I wanna know that Sun and Jin and Sayid didn't die for nothing.

Jacob:
...Come and sit down and I will tell you what they died for. I'll tell you why I chose them. And why I chose you. And I'll tell you everything you need to know about protecting this Island, because by the time that fire burns out, one of you is gonna have to start doing it. [The group gathers around] I don't really know where to start.

Hurley:
How about why you brought us to the Island.

Jacob:
I brought all of you here because I made a mistake. A mistake I made a very long time ago, and now, because of that there's a very good chance every single one of you and everyone you've ever cared about is going to die.

Sawyer:
What mistake?

Jacob:
You call him "The Monster." But I'm responsible for what happened to him. I made him that way. And ever since then he's been trying to kill me. It was only a matter of time before he figured out how, and when he did, someone would have to replace me. And that's why I brought you all here.

Sawyer:
Tell me something, Jacob. Why do I gotta be punished for your mistake? What made you think you could mess with my life? I was doing just fine until you dragged my ass to this rock.

Jacob:
No you weren't. None of you were. I didn't pluck any of you out of some happy existence. You were all flawed. I chose you because you were all like me. You were all alone. You were all looking for something you couldn't find out there. I chose you because you needed this place as much as it needed you.

Kate:
Why did you cross my name off of your wall?

Jacob:
Because you became a mother. It's just a line of chalk in a cave. The job is yours if you want it, Kate.

Jack:
What is the job?

Jacob:
There's a light at the center of this Island. You have to make sure it never goes out. That's how you protect it.

Sawyer:
Your monster friend said there's nothing to protect it from.

Jacob:
You have to protect it from him. You must do what I couldn't. What I wasn't able to do.

Jack:
You want us to kill him. Is that even possible?

Jacob:
I hope so, because he is certainly going to try to kill you.

Hurley:
So...how are you gonna pick?

Jacob:
I'm not going to pick, Hugo. I'm going to give you the one thing I was never given. A choice.

Kate:
And if none of us chooses?

Jacob:
Then this ends very badly.

[There is a pause as everyone looks at one another]

Jack:
I'll do it. This is why I'm here. This is...this is what I'm supposed to do.

Jacob:
Is that a question, Jack?

Jack:
...No,

Jacob:
Good, then it's time.

[Sawyer, Kate, and Hurley watch as Jacob initiates Jack as the new Island guardian]

Sawyer:
Just when I thought that guy had a god complex before...

Kate:
James...

Sawyer:
Yeah. I know,

Hurley:
I'm just glad it's not me.

[The Man in Black and Ben find Desmond has escaped from the well he was trapped in]

Ben:
What did Widmore say to you?

The Man in Black:
He said Desmond was a fail-safe. Jacob's last resort in case, God forbid, I managed to kill all of his beloved candidates. One final way to make sure I never leave this Island.

Ben:
Then...Why are you happy he's alive?

The Man in Black:
Because I'm gonna find Desmond, and when I do he's gonna help me do the one thing that I could never do myself. I'm gonna destroy the Island.

Jack:
Jacob didn't say anything to me about Desmond.

Sawyer:
Doesn't sound like he said anything about anything.

Hurley:
That's kind of true, dude. He's worse than Yoda.

Sawyer:
All right, ya'll head to your heart of the island and I'll go back and get the magic leprechaun out of that well.

Jack:
If we leave a trail can you catch up with us?

Sawyer:
[nods] Hell, yeah, I can.

Jack:
Then be safe.

Sawyer:
[to Kate] I'd ask you along, but that'd take all of the fun out of me telling you you can't come.

Kate:
[smiles] I guess I'll just have to resist the urge to follow you anyway.

Kate:
Why did you take the job, Jack?

Jack:
Because I was supposed to.

Kate:
Why? Because some stranger wrote our names on a wall?

Jack:
I took it because the island's all I've got left. It's the only thing in my life I haven't managed to ruin.

Kate:
You haven't ruined anything. Nothing is irreversible.

Hurley:
This would be so sweet if we weren't all about to die.

[Jack's group confronts The Man in Black's group in a clearing]

The Man in Black:
Well this oughta be interesting.

Kate:
[Immediately grabs Sawyer's rifle and opens fire on MIB] YOU KILLED THEM!

[MIB is not phased at all, Sawyer restrains Kate]

The Man in Black:
I'd save your bullets.[Confronts Jack] So it's you?

Jack:
Yeah, it's me.

The Man in Black:
Jacob being who he is, I was expected to be a little more surprised. You're sort of the obvious choice, don't you think?

Jack:
He didn't choose me. I volunteered.

The Man in Black:
I assume you're here to stop me?

Jack:
I can't stop you. In fact I uh, I wanna go with you.

The Man in Black:
I'm sorry Jack, I think you're a little confused about what I came here to do.

Jack:
No I'm not. You're going to the far side of the bamboo forest, to the place I've sworn that I'll protect. And then you think you're going to destroy the Island.

The Man in Black:
"I think?"

Jack:
[Smiles]That's right, because that's not what's going to happen.

The Man in Black:
And what's gonna happen, Jack?

Jack:
I'm gonna kill you.

The Man in Black:
[Visibly intimidated]... How are you planning to do that?

Jack:
That's a surprise.

The Man in Black:
Alright then, let's get on with it.

[Jack and The Man in Black are lowering Desmond into the heart of the Island]

The Man in Black:
This remind you of anything, Jack?

Jack:
What?

The Man in Black:
You and me, Desmond going down into a hole in the ground. If there was a button down there we could argue whether or not to push it. It'd be just like old times.

Jack:
You're not John Locke. You disrespect his memory by wearing his face, but you're nothing like him. Turns out he was right about most everything. Just wish I could have told him that while he was still alive.

The Man in Black:
He wasn't right about anything, Jack. And as soon as this Island drops into the ocean and you drop with it, you're going to realize that.

Jack:
Well I guess we'll just have to see which one of us is right.

The Man in Black:
[holding a knife to Jack's throat] I want you to know, Jack, you died for nothing!

Kate:
[shoots MIB in the back] I saved you a bullet!

[Jack gets to his feet; MIB looks out at the Island as it slowly crumbles]

The Man in Black:
You're too late...

[Jack kicks The Man in Black over the cliffs, killing him]

[The ground begins to shake violently

Sawyer:
We gotta go now.

Kate:
I don't understand. Locke's dead, why is this still happening?

Jack:
Because whatever Desmond turned off...I need to turn it back on again. But if it doesn't work, if I don't get it done you all need to leave now. You need to get on that plane.

Kate:
You can come with us too, Jack. You don't have to do this.

Jack:
No I do have to do this.

Kate No, you don't! Let the Island sink, Jack.

Jack:
Kate...I can't. [to Sawyer] You think you can get that boat across the channel in time?

Sawyer:
Yeah, I can manage.

[Jack gets up and shakes Sawyer's hand.]

Jack:
Good luck to you, James.

Sawyer:
Thanks, doc...for everything.

Ben:
[Ben calls out] James!

[Ben throws him the walkie-talkie.]

Ben:
If the Island's going down, I'm going down with it.

Jack:
Hugo, you better get going.

Hurley:
Uh-uh, no way. You think I'm going down that? I'm with you, dude.

Jack:
Okay. Kate...you gotta go. Get Claire on that plane.

Kate:
Tell me I'm gonna see you again.

[Jack shakes his head no. They passionately kiss each other one last time.]

Kate:
I love you.

Jack:
I love you.

[Jack, Hurley and Ben leave while Kate cries.]

[After Jack heals him of his paralysis, Locke remembers his past life]

Locke:
[Brought to tears] Did you see that?

Jack:
See what? [Locke looks at Jack, overjoyed to see him; Jack has a flash of when he and Locke opened the Hatch but ignores it, confused] Mr. Locke, you need to lie back and take it easy.

Locke:
[Trying to get up, very emotional] No, what we need to do is go.

Jack:
No, you can't get up.

Locke:
[Smiles happily] Will you come with me?

Jack:
We are not going anywhere. You've just had extensive spinal surgery. Now you need to lie back. I- I need to see my son.[Starts to leave]

Locke:
You don't have a son.

Jack:
What?

Locke:
You don't have a son, Jack.

[Jack seems confused and starts to leave]

Locke:
Jack! I hope someone can do for you what you just did for me.

Jack:
Get some rest, Mr. Locke.

James:
[is caught trying to get candy from a vending machine] It's okay. I'm a cop.

Juliet:
Maybe you should read the machine its rights.

James:
[laughs] That's funny.

Juliet:
Can I tell you a secret?

James:
Please.

Juliet:
If you unplug it, and then you plug it back in again, the candy just drops right down.

James:
Is that right?

Juliet:
Yes, and its technically legal.

James:
I'll give it a shot. [unplugs and cuts off power to the room] Oops.

Juliet:
It worked. [hands the candy bar to him and remembers their life on the island]

James:
Whoa. Did you feel that?

Juliet:
We should get coffee sometime.

James:
I'd love to, but that machine ate my dollar. I only got one left.

Juliet:
[smiles] We could go dutch.

[In the sideways world, Locke arrives outside of the church. He finds Ben waiting]

Locke:
Hello, Benjamin.

Ben:
Hello, John.

Locke:
Is everyone already inside?

Ben:
I believe most of them are, yes.

[Locke starts to wheel his way toward the entrance]

Ben:
I'm very sorry for what I did to you. John. I was selfish. Jealous. I wanted everything you had.

Locke:
What did I have?

Ben:
You were special John...and I wasn't.

Locke:
Well if it helps, Ben, I forgive you.

Ben:
Thank you, John. That does help. It matters...more then I can say.

Locke:
What are you gonna to do now?

Ben:
I have some things that I still need to work out. I'm gonna stay here awhile. [Locke nods and begins to leave] You know, I don't think you need to be in that chair anymore.

[Locke pauses, unsure; slowly, he rises, steps out of the chair and watches as it rolls away]

Locke:
Bye, Ben.[Ben nods, as Locke goes inside the church]

Hurley:
No, no way. I'm not going to let you die.

Jack:
Hurley, I'm already dead.

Hurley:
You said you would protect the Island.

Jack:
And that's what I'm doing.

Hurley:
You're committing suicide!

Jack:
I'm not. This is the way its supposed to happen. This is what I'm supposed to do.

Hurley:
You're not supposed to die! The island needs you!

Jack:
Hurley, it needs you.

Hurley:
What?

Jack:
It needs to be you, Hugo.

Hurley:
[Overcome with emotion]...I can't...It's supposed to be you.

Jack:
No it was only supposed to be me so I could do this. But if someone has to take care of it, if someone has to protect it, then it should be you. Hurley, I believe in you.

Hurley:
...All right, I'll take it. But its only temporary, as soon as you get that light back on, I'm pulling you straight up and giving it rightt back to you, deal?

Jack:
Deal.

Jack:
Desmond, you've done enough. You want to do something, go home and be with your wife and son.

Desmond:
What about you, Jack?

Jack:
I'll see you in another life, brother.

Ben:
I think Desmond's gonna be okay.

Hurley:
...Jack's gone.[Breaks down in tears]

Ben:
He did his job, Hugo.

Hurley:
But it's my job now! What the hell am I gonna do?

Ben:
I think you'll do what you do best: Take care of people. And you can start by helping Desmond go home.

Hurley:
How? People can't leave the Island.

Ben:
That was how Jacob ran things. Maybe there's another way, a better way.

Hurley:
Can you help me?

Ben:
I'm sorry?

Hurley:
I could sorta use someone with, like, experience. For a little while. So...will you help me, Ben?

Ben:
...I would be honored.

Hurley:
Cool...

[Flash sideways - Ben is still sat outside the church. Hurley comes outside and sees him.]

Hurley:
Oh, hey dude.

Ben:
Hello, Hugo!

Hurley:
We're all inside.

Ben:
I don't think I'm coming in.

[Hurley turns to leave then looks back to Ben.]

Hurley:
You know, you were a real good number two.

Ben:
And you were a great number one, Hugo.

Hurley:
Thanks, dude. I'll see ya.

[Jack has entered the back of the church in the sideways world. He finds his father's coffin inside. Upon touching it the memories of his life on the Island come rushing back. He then opens the coffin and finds it is empty; he closes it disappointed]

Christian:
Hey, kiddo.

Jack:
[Shocked] Dad?

Christian:
Hello, Jack.

Jack:
...I don't understand. You died.

Christian:
Yeah, I did.

Jack:
Then how are you here right now?

Christian:
How are you here?

Jack:
[Pauses] I died too.

Christian:
[They hug as Jack becomes wracked with emotion] It's ok, it's ok, son. It's ok.

Jack:
I love you, dad.

Christian:
I love you too.

Jack:
Are you...are you real?

Christian:
[Laughs] I sure hope so. I'm real, you're real, everything that happened to you is real. The people in that church, they're real.

Jack:
And everyone else, they're all dead too?

Christian:
Everyone dies sometime, kiddo. Some before you, some long after you.

Jack:
Are they all here now?

Christian:
Well, there is no NOW here.

Jack:
Where are we, dad?

Christian:
This is the place that you all made together so that you could find one another. The most important part of your life was the time that you spent with these people. That's why all of you are here. Nobody does it alone, Jack. You needed all of them and they needed you.

Jack:
For what?

Christian:
To remember and let go.

Jack:
Kate. She said we were leaving.

Christian:
Not leaving, no. Moving on.

Jack:
Where are we going?

Christian:
Let's go find out.

Locke:
We've been waiting for you. [Final line in the series]
