Recap

Flashback:
A young girl is listening to music as she dances and puts on lipstick. Her mother enters and asks where she is going?

“Out,” the girl says.

“With who? Him?”

“Yes, and you can’t stop me. I’m in love.”

“He’s twice your age, Emily.”

“So what, Mom, are you jealous?” Emily grabs her purse and sweater and walks out.

“Emily, wait a minute.”

Emily walks out into the rain. Her mother yells, “Emily, get back here, young lady!”

“You can’t stop me! I love him!”

Emily steps into the street and is hit by an oncoming car.

Emily wakes in the hospital. She’s being wheeled on a gurney. She tells the nurse that she is six months pregnant.

Emily pushes out the baby and they put him in an incubator. Emily says, “My baby.”

“It’s a boy, honey. He’s okay for now, he’s just really early,” the nurse says. Emily asks to hold him but they say that they can’t, he’s too little.

“Name him, John. Please, his name is John!”

Camp Locke:
Locke is walking with Hurley and Ben in the jungle at night. Hurley wants to know why they are searching for the cabin.

“Because, hopefully,” Locke says, “the man who lives in the cabin can tell us about the people who are trying to kill us.”

“We’ve been walking all day. Are we going to get there soon?”

Locke asks Ben how long. Ben says he doesn’t know and says he’s been following Hurley.

“What?” Locke says. “What do you mean you’ve been following him?”

“I’m not even in front,” Hurley says.

“I have no idea where the cabin is. Hugo’s the last one who saw it,” Ben says.

“Oh this is just awesome,” Hurley replies.

“What do you think we should do, John?” Ben asks.

Locke says they’re making camp.

Hurley says, “What? Here in the dark with the monster and him?”

“The rest will do us good.”

“Dude, what’s going to happen when those freighter guys come back?”

“I don’t know. Yet.” John says as he pats Hurley on the shoulder.

On the Freighter:
Sayid hears the helicopter and wakes Desmond. They go onto the deck. Keamy and his crew lift an injured mean out of the helicopter and Doctor Ray asks what happened.

“Black pillar of smoke, threw him 50 feet in the air,” Keamy says. “Ripped his guts out.”

Sayid and Desmond walk over. Keamy walks up to Sayid and says that he needs to know how many people are on the island and where they are located

“And why would I do that?” Sayid asks.

Captain Gault walks over. “Keamy! What the hell do you think you’re doing, mate?”

Keamy pulls a gun out and puts it into the captain’s neck. “You give me up?”

“What?” Gault asks.

“Linus knew who I was. He knew my name. He knew everything about me.”

“No, I’m not the one who gave you up.”

“Then who did?”

Sayid puts his head down.

The captain and Keamy walk down a hall to Michael’s room. Michael is chained to a pipe. Keamy kicks the bed and it falls on Michael’s legs. Keamy steps on the bed frame and asks, “Do you know who I am?”

“What?”

Keamy kicks Michael “My name. Do you know my name?”

“Keamy. Martin Keamy.”

“Did you give it to him?”

“Who?”

“Benjamin Linus. Did you give him my name?”

“Yeah.”

Keamy points his gun at Michael’s head. Gault tells him to wait. Keamy pulls the trigger, but nothing happens. He pulls it again and again, but it just clicks.

“Martin, we need him,” Gault says. “He’s the only one that can fix the engines.”

“And what makes you so sure about that?” Keamy asks.

“Because he’s the one who broke them.”

Keamy turns and smacks Michael on the head.

Camp Locke:
Locke wakes and hears someone chopping wood. Hurley and Ben are still asleep. Locke gets up and finds a man cutting down a tree. “Hello there,” the man says.

“Who are you?” Locke asks.

“I’m Horace. Phew,” he says.

“What are you doing out here?”

“Building a place. A little getaway for me and the misses. Sometimes you need a break from the D.I. you know? The Dharma Initiative?”

Horace laughs. “I’m not making any sense am I?”

“No,” Locke says.

Horace turns back to Locke and his nose is bleeding. “That’s probably because I’ve been dead for 12 years.”

Horace knocks over the same tree. “Hello, there.”

“You’ve got to find me, John, you’ve got to find me. And when you do, you’ll find him.”

“Who?”

“Jacob. He’s been waiting for you a real long time. I’m Horace. Goodspeed, John.”

Locke wakes again in the jungle. Ben is sitting and stares at him. Locke wakes up Hurley.

“Mallomars,” Hurley mumbles.

“Wake up, Hugo,” Locke says. “Time to get up. We have to get going.”

“I thought we didn’t know where we were going, dude.”

“We do now.” Locke looks at Ben.

“I used to have dreams,” Ben says.

Flashback:
Emily looks at John in the incubator. Her mother stands next to her.

The nurse walks in and says, “Hi, Emily. Mrs. Locke, it’s good to see you.”

“How is he?” Emily’s mother asks.

“He’s amazing. He’s the youngest preemie to ever survive in this hospital. He’s had infections, pneumonia, you name it. But every time he knocked them out. He is a fighter, your little John.”

“The other girls say he’s a miracle baby. And today we’re going to take him out of the incubator so you can hold him for the very first time.”

“I can’t do it,” Emily says. “I’m sorry, I can’t!”

Emily runs out. Her mother asks who she can talk to about adoption. She looks over and sees a man staring into the room from the window.

“Is that the father?” the nurse asks.

“I don’t know who that is,” she says.

Richard Alpert nods his head.

Camp Locke:
Hurley asks why he is there.

“You’re here because you can see the cabin and that makes you special,” Locke says.

“Well,” Hurley says, “I have a theory as to why we’re the only ones who can see it.”

“I’d love to hear it.”

“I think we can see it because we’re the craziest. So, how’d you figure out where it was, dude?”

“I didn’t,” Locke says. “We’re not going to the cabin. We’re going to make a pit stop first.”

“A pit stop? Where?” Hurley asks.

Locke says, “You ever wonder what happened to the Dharma Initiative, Hugo?” There must have been a least a hundred of them living on this island, manning the stations, building those homes, making all that ranch dressing that you like. And then one day, they’re all gone, they just disappeared. You want to know where we’re going?”

Locke shows him the mass grave. “We’re going to see them.”

“Whoa. What happened to them?” Hurley asks.

Locke indicates Ben. “He did it.”

Flashback:
Locke is in a home as a child, playing backgammon. A girl runs through and says that the game is stupid.

A woman walks in carrying toddler. “Melissa, stop that,” she says. She puts the toddler down. “Take your brother into the kitchen. There’s someone that wants to see John.”

Richard Alpert walks in. “It is coming down like cats and dogs out there.”

“This nice gentleman wants to talk to you, John, so I want you on your best behavior. Understand?”

Locke nods.

“He’s all yours,” she says to Richard before leaving the room.

Richard puts his coat down and sits across from Locke. “You like backgammon?”

Locke nods.

“You seem to have a good sense of the game. I’m Richard, John. I run a school for kids who are extremely special and I have reason to believe you might be one of them.”

Locke looks interested.

“You mind if I show you a couple of really neat things?”

Richard sees a drawing of a person being attacked by a pillar of smoke. “Did you draw that, John?”

Locke nods.

Richard pulls items from his bag. “I want you to look at these things and think about them.”

He pulls out a baseball glove, a book, a small bottle of sand, a compass, a comic book, and a knife.

“Now, tell me, John, which of these things belong to you?”

“To keep?”

“No, John. Tell me which of these things belong to you already?”

Locke looks at the items. He moves the sand and the compass. He looks at the book. He picks up the knife and looks at Richard.

“You sure the knife belongs to you, John? You sure about that?”

Locke nods. Richard looks annoyed. “Well it doesn’t.” He grabs the knife away, puts everything away and stands up.

The woman comes back in. “How did he do?”

“I’m afraid John isn’t ready for our school. Sorry I wasted your time.” He leaves the house.

The woman looks at Locke. “What did you do?”

Camp Locke:
Inside the skeleton pit Locke digs. Ben and Hurley wait. Hurley asks what he is doing and Ben shakes his head.

“So, this is where you shot Locke and left him for dead, huh?”

“Yes, Hugo, I was standing right where you’re standing now when I pulled the trigger.”

Hurley takes a step back.

“I should have realized at the time that it was pointless. I really wasn’t thinking clearly.”

“Is that why you killed all these people too?”

“I didn’t kill them.”

“Well if the Others didn’t wipe out the Dharma Initiative-”

“They did wipe them out, Hugo, but it wasn’t my decision.”

“Whose was it?”

“Their leader’s.”

“Well I thought you were their leader.”

“Not always.”

Locke finds Horace’s name on a skeleton. Ben watches as Locke pulls out a map from the shirt pocket.

“The cabin,” Locke says. “He was building it.”

“You find what you’re looking for?” Hurley asks.

“Yes, Hugo, I believe I did.”

On the Freighter:
Keamy walks down a hallway with Captain Gault behind him.

“I need your key,” Keamy says.

“What?”

Lapidus comes walking up and says that the injured man died. He tells Keamy, “The crew is asking a lot of questions about what happened to you guys over there.”

“You tell the crew that I’m dealing with it,” Keamy says. “And you go gas up the chopper, Frank. We’re going back.”

“Going back?” Lapidus says. “What the hell for?”

“Gas up the chopper, Frank.”

Lapidus walks off.

Gault catches up to Keamy and says, “Listen, Martin, while you were gone there was some sort of a sickness. The crew have been exhibiting some very strange behavior. Regina threw herself overboard, for God sakes. I would be derelict in my duty if I didn’t point out that this may be exactly what’s happening to you.”

“I appreciate your concern,” Keamy says sarcastically. “Give me your key.”

“That’s not the protocol.”

Keamy pushes Gault up against the wall and grabs the key from around his neck. “Thank you.”

Keamy goes into a room and opens a cabinet.

“The reason there are two keys,” Gault says, “is we’re only supposed to open the safe together.”

“You’re here, aren’t you?” Keamy opens a small safe and pulls out an envelope.

“What is that?”

“It’s a secondary protocol.”

Gault looks confused as Keamy begins to read from a small Dharma binder.

“What does it say?”

“It says where Linus is going.”

“How would Mr. Widmore know that?”

“Because he’s a very smart man. And if Linus knows that we’re going to torch the island, there’s only one place that he can go.”

“What do you mean torch the island? That was not the agreement! I agreed to ferry you here for an extraction mission.”

Keamy stands up. He pulls out his gun and hands it to the captain. “Fix my gun.” Keamy walks out.

On the deck, Desmond and Sayid watch men bring a man off the helicopter. “They’re injured bad,” Desmond says. “That was no gunshot.”

The freighter people carry a body on a stretcher.

“What do you think happened to him?” Desmond asks Sayid.

“I don’t know,” Sayid replies. “But when they go back they’ll be certain it doesn’t happen again.”

“Omar!” Gault says, walking up. “Keamy wants you in the armory.”

“He said I wasn’t supposed to let those two out of my sight,” Omar replies.

“I’ll watch them. Go!”

Omar walks off, pulling out a phone as he goes.

The captain walks up to Sayid and Desmond. “There’s a pantry below our galley with enough room for two men. I’ve left you a supply of food and water. You need to go there.”

“Michael, is he dead?” Sayid asks.

“No, but not for lack of bloody trying. Which is precisely why you two need to be hiding before Keamy comes back on this deck.”

“Hiding is pointless,” Sayid says. “Give us your Zodiac raft so we can start ferrying people from the beach. The only way to save our lives is to get our people off that island

“Meet me behind the container in ten minutes,” Gault says. “The boat will be in the water.”

Camp Locke:
Locke looks at the map. “The cabin is here. We came in through here, up the coast.”

“It’s going to be dark soon, Hugo,” Locke says. “If you head that way, you’ll hit the coast and then all you have to do is head north until you reach our beach.”

“Uh, what?”

“I forced you to come with us at gun point, and I’m sorry, Hugo, but I was led to believe that we needed you to find this place.”

“Oh, I get it. Now that you have your magic map you don’t need me anymore.”

“I’m offering you a chance to leave. I don’t want to put you in harm’s way against your will.”

“You think walking through the jungle at night by myself is going to be any safer?”

“I’m not sure it is.”

“I think I’ll stick with you guys.” He walks off.

Ben looks at Locke.

“What?” Locke asks.

“He actually thinks staying was his idea. Not bad, John, not bad at all.”

“I’m not you.”

“You’re certainly not.”

Flashback:
Locke bangs from the interior of a locker. “Let me out, somebody! Please somebody let me out,” he yells.

A teacher opens the locker and a teenage Locke stumbles out. The teacher asks if he is okay. Surrounding students laugh.

The teacher says, “Get to class, ladies, tardy bell just rang. John, you’re bleeding. Come on, let’s go to the nurse’s office.”

After they arrive at the nurse’s office the teacher asks if he wants to talk about it.

“No.”

“I know you’re probably upset right now, but I do have some exciting news for you. I got a call from Portland this morning. There’s a company up there doing some very exciting things in chemistry and new technologies. They’re called Mittelos Laboratories. I spoke with a Dr. Alpert. He’s very interested in finding young bright minds to enter into these new fields of science. They want you to go to their summer camp.”

“Science camp?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t you understand that things like science camp are the reasons why I get stuffed into lockers?”

“John, this is a great opportunity.”

Locke asks how they know about him.

“They must have sent a rep to the science fair. Your display at Costa Mesa.”

“I’m not a scientist! I like boxing and fishing and cars. I like sports!”

“I’m going to tell you something, something I wish someone had told me at your age. You might not want to be that guy in the lab, surrounded by test tubes and beakers, but that’s who you are, John. You can’t be the prom king. You can’t be the quarterback. You can’t be a super hero.”

Locke leans over and tells the teacher, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do.”

On the Freighter:
Lapidus leans over Michael on the floor of his room.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Lapidus asks Michael.

“Tell you what?”

“That you’re a survivor of 815.”

“‘Cause you wouldn’t have believed me.”

“You didn’t think I’d believe ya? I tell you that I’m one of the only people in the world that think that plane on the bottom of the ocean is a hoax and you didn’t think I’d believe ya?”

“I didn’t know if I could trust you. Your boss put that plane there!”

“He he he. Man, I thought I was Mr. Conspiracy but ya got me beat there.” He helps Michael up.

“Listen to me. Listen to me. You can’t fly that guy back, Keamy.”

“You let me worry about Keamy, alright?”

“You can’t fly him back! He’s gonna kill everyone on that island. Everyone! You don’t want that on your conscience, man, trust me.”

They exit the room and see Keamy down the hall. He’s getting something strapped to his arm. Keamy looks up and they shut the door.

On the deck Captain Gault finds Desmond and Sayid. He turns to Sayid and tells him to stay on a heading of exactly 305.

“Faraday says that’s the only safe way to and from the boat.”

“What will you tell Keamy when he notices the Zodiac is missing?”

“I’ll tell him you stole it. Now go.” The captain walks away.

Desmond tells Sayid that he can’t go with him.

“Why not?”

“I’ve been on that island for three years. I’m never setting foot on it again. Not when Penny’s coming for me.”

“I’ll be back with the first group as soon as I can.”

“Stay on that bearing, yeah?”

“I will.”

The captain tells them, “You need to go! Now!”

Sayid jumps overboard onto the boat and heads for the island.

Camp Locke:
Locke, Hurley, and Ben continue walking through the jungle.

“It should be about 200 yards this way,” Locke says.

“You sure it’s going to be there, John?” Ben says. “The cabin, what if it’s moved, again?”

“It hasn’t moved, because I was told that this is where it would be.”

“I was told a lot of things, too, that I was chosen, that I was special. I ended up with a tumor on my spine and my daughter’s blood all over my hands.”

“I’m sorry those things happened to you, Ben.”

“Those things had to happen to me, that was my destiny. But you’ll understand soon enough that there are consequences to being chosen. Because destiny, John, is a fickle bitch.”

Hurley interrupts them and points to the cabin.

Flashback:
Locke is in physical therapy trying to move across a set of parallel bars. He collapses and the therapist says that’s enough. Locke gets back in the wheelchair, pushed by an orderly.

“Don’t give up, Mr. Locke.”

“Excuse me?”

“I’m just saying, don’t give up. Anything is possible.”

“You should read my file. My spine was crushed. There’s a 98% chance I’ll never get any feeling back in my legs, so I don’t know why I even…”

“I did read your file. You survived falling eight stories out of a building. That’s a miracle, Mr. Locke,” Abaddon says. “Let me ask you something. Do you believe in miracles?”

“Nope. I don’t believe in miracles.”

“You should. I had one happen to me.”

Abaddon turns the wheelchair around and sits in front of Locke. “You know what you need, Mr. Locke? You need to go on a Walkabout.”

“What’s a Walkabout?”

“It’s a journey of self discovery. You go out into the Australian outback with nothing more than a knife and your wits.”

“I can’t walkabout anything. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a cripple.”

“Is that what you are, Mr. Locke? I went on my Walkabout convinced I was one thing, but came back another. I found out what I was made of, who I was.”

“And here you are, an orderly.”

“Oh, I’m more than just an orderly, John.” Abaddon smiles.

He wheels Locke inside the elvator and then steps out. “When you’re ready, Mr. Locke, you’ll listen to what I’m saying. And then, when we run into each other again, you’ll owe me one.”

On the Freighter:
Desmond watches from some side steps as Keamy and his men load the helicopter with guns and ammunition.

“Hey, Doc,” Omar says. “You want to hear something weird?”

“Yeah, sure.”

“You know that Morse code message I got from the beach? It said that the doctor washed up on shore with his throat slit.”

“But I’m the doctor.”

“Crazy, right?”

Keamy walks over and asks if everything is there.

Frank walks up. “What are you going to do with all that?”

“Fire her up, Frank,” Keamy says.

“Mr. Keamy,” Frank says, “I was hired to fly scientists.”

“Get your ass in the cockpit and fire up the chopper, Frank.”

“I’m not taking you.”

“I’ll kill you, Frank.”

“Yeah, well you do that and you’ll never get back to the island because I’m the only pilot you got.”

Keamy walks over to the doctor. “Sorry, Doctor.” He slits the doctor’s throat and throws him overboard. “That change anything, Frank? Another 30 seconds goes by, it’s someone else’s turn.”

A gun is fired. They turn to see Gault walking over. Gault turns the gun on Keamy.

“I fixed your gun. Now stand down, Martin, or I will fire.”

Keamy hands his knife to Omar and holds his arm out, revealing the device on his arm. “I don’t think you want to do that, Captain.”

“What’s that on his arm?” Gault asks. He looks around and repeats the question

Keamy grabs a gun from the guy next to him and shoots Gault. Gault falls to the deck.

“Hey!” Keamy says. “What will it be, Frank?”

“We’re flying,” Frank replies.

“Let’s go!” Keamy says to his men.

Frank turns on the helicopter. He turns on his satellite phone and puts it in a bag.

Camp Jack:
Juliet walks up to Jack, who is standing up.

“Hey! What did I say to you?”

“You told me not to leave my tent. I was hungry.”

“Jack, you have to rest! You can’t run around! I know that it is hard for you to ask for help, but if you tear your stitches-”

“Okay, I got it.”

“Doctors are the worst patients.”

They hear a helicopter approaching. Other Losties surround them. The helicopter flies ahead and something is thrown out, collapsing one of the tents.

Jack runs to the bag and rifles through it until he finds the satellite phone. “I think they want us to follow them.”

Camp Locke:
After approaching the island Locke says, “Alright, let’s do this.”

Ben shakes his head and says, “I’m not going in there with you.”

“What?”

“The island wanted me to get sick and wanted you to get well. My time is over. It’s yours now.”

“Yeah,” Hurley chimes in. “I’m cool with you going in alone too.”

Locke goes inside the cabin. A man sits in the chair. “Are you Jacob?” Locke asks.

“No. But I can speak on his behalf.”

“Well who are you?”

“I’m Christian,” Christian Shephard says.

“You know why I’m here?”

“Yeah, sure. Do you?”

“I’m here because I was chosen to be.”

“That’s absolutely right.”

Locke hears a noise and turns. Claire is sitting in the corner

“Claire?”

“Hi, John.”

“What are you doing here?”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m with him.”

“Where’s the baby?”

Christian says, “The baby is where he’s supposed to be, and that’s not here. It’s probably best that you don’t tell anyone that you saw her.”

“Why?” Locke asks.

Christian replies, “We don’t have time for this. The people from the boat are already on their way back. And once they get here, all these questions won’t matter one bit. So, why don’t you ask the one question that does matter?”

“How do I save the island?”

Christian and Claire smile at one another.

Outside, Hurley unwraps a granola bar. He gives half to Ben

Locke exits the cabin and they get up.

“Did he tell you what we’re supposed to do?” Ben asks.

“He did.”

“Well?”

“He wants us to move the island.”
