Original timeline ... Hurley, Sun, Jack, and Frank have just arrived at the Man in Black's camp.]
LOCKE: Hello, Jack. I was hoping you'd come.
[Hurley hands Locke his torch.]
LOCKE: I think we have some catching up to do.
[Jack walks up to Hurley.]
JACK: Hurley. This was your idea. u alright with me talking with him alone?
HURLEY: [Handing Jack a gun.] It's all you, dude.
JACK: [To Locke] Alright, let's catch up.
[Jack and Locke walk away. They arrive at a clearing. Locke sits down on a log. Jack remains standing, facing Locke.]
JACK: Look just like him.
LOCKE: Does it bother you?
JACK: No, what bothers me is I don't have any idea what the hell u are.
LOCKE: Sure u do.
[Jack kneels.]
JACK: Why John Locke?
LOCKE: Because he was stupid enough to believe that he'd been brought here for a reason. Because he pursued that belief until it got him killed. And because u were kind enough to bring his body back here in a nice wooden box.
JACK: He had to be dead before u could look like him.
LOCKE: That's right.
[Jack nods.]
JACK: Who else have u looked like?
LOCKE: Jack, what do u really want to ask me?
JACK: The third dag we were here I saw... I chased my father through the jungle... my, my dead father. Was that you?
LOCKE: Yes, that was me.
JACK: Why?
LOCKE: u needed to find water. This may be hard for u to believe, Jack, but all I've ever been interested in is helping you.
JACK: To help me? To do what?
LOCKE: Leave. But because Jacob chose you, u were trapped on this Island, before u even got here. Now Jacob's dead. We don't have to be trapped anymore. We can get on an airplane and fly away anytime we want to.
JACK: If we can just fly away whenever we want, why are u still here?
LOCKE: Because it has to be all of us.
[Jack looks momentarily emotional.]
LOCKE: What?
JACK: John Locke was the only one of us that ever believed in this place. He did everything he could to keep us from leaving this island.
LOCKE: John Locke was not a believer, Jack. He was a sucker.

[Clare pauses, sighs, then smiles.]
CLAIRE: It's... it's good to see you, Jack.
JACK: Yeah, it’s good to see u too.
CLAIRE: u know, I-I never really had much in the way of family, so it…really means a lot that you’re coming with us.
JACK: Actually, I haven’t-I haven’t decided if I’m coming with you.
CLAIRE: Yeah, u have.
JACK: What do u mean?

[Original timeline Man in Black’s camp]
HURLEY: He’s got a submarine?
SAWYER [whispers]: Keep your voice down, damn it. Yeah, Widmore’s got a sub. We’re using it to get off this rock.
HURLEY: Are we gonna tell Sun?
SAWYER: Kate’s telling her now. I thought we might want to avoid huddles.
HURLEY: What about Sayid?
SAWYER: Sayid ain’t invited. He’s gone over to the dark side.
HURLEY: Yeah, but u can always bring people back from the dark side. I mean, Anakin--
SAWYER: Who the hell’s Anakin? Look, just keep your mouth shut. Don’t say nothing’ to no one.
CLAIRE: Hey.
HURLEY: Hey, Claire.
CLAIRE: Hey, Hurley.
HURLEY: u look great.

SAWYER: Want an apple?
[Kate doesn’t respond.]
SAWYER: Hey, Schaub, I’m the one who brought her in. Wanna give us a minute?
[Officer Schaub nods and leaves.]
SAWYER: Katherine Anne Austen. Wanted for arson, assault on a federal officer, murder in the first degree.
[Background indistinct police radio chatter.] Funny, u don’t strike me as the murdering kind.
KATE: That’s because I’m not.
SAWYER: u be sure and mention that to feds when they get here.
KATE: There something u wanted?
SAWYER: u remember me? From the airport? We were on the same flight from Sydney.
KATE: Yeah, I remember.
SAWYER: Well, don’t u think it’s weird--you and me being on the same flight, having that little meet-up in the elevator? And a week later--boom, of all the cars in Los Angeles, u smash into mine. Almost like someone’s trying to put us together.
KATE: Are u hitting on me?
SAWYER: [laughs] It’d never work, sweetheart. I’m a cop, you’re a murderer.
KATE: I already told you, I’m not a murderer.
SAWYER: Yeah, well, I’m still a cop.
KATE: So, why didn’t u arrest me?
SAWYER: I did arrest you.
KATE: No, in L.A.X., the elevator, u saw I was wearing handcuffs.
SAWYER: I didn’t see any handcuffs. All I saw was a pretty lady who needed the door held open for her.
KATE: u know what I think? I think u let me go because u went to Australia, and u didn’t want anyone to know u were there. Should I tell that to the feds when they get here?
SAWYER: Oh, I like you.
KATE: Oh.
MILES: Jim, got a live one. Come on.
SAWYER: Sorry, duty calls.
MILES: We caught a multiple homicide at a restaurant. Victims were a lowlife named Keamy and three goons on his payroll. Korean female GSW at the scene, and her boyfriend witnessed it, but he doesn’t speak English.
SAWYER: Any suspects?
MILES: Yeah, an ATM surveillance camera grabbed this jaboney fleeing the scene.
SAWYER: All righty. Put a name to that face. [Security tape film shows Sayid leaving a building.] That’s our bad guy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Original timeline, Locke’s camp.]
[Kate and Jack are together looking at Sayid across the camp.]
KATE: He’s different now.
JACK [nods]: Guess we’re all different now.
KATE: So what did Locke say to you?
JACK: He zei that he wants to leave, and we all have to go together.
KATE: And do u believe him?
JACK: I’m not sure yet.
[Sound of a geweer-, geweer cock as Zoe walks into camp.]
MAN: Hands up. Stop right there.
ZOE: Where’s the man in charge?
HURLEY: Who’s she?
SAWYER: That’s Widmore’s number two.
[Locke comes out of a tent and smiles at Zoe.]
LOCKE: What can I do for you?
ZOE: u took something from us, and we want it back.
LOCKE: I’m sorry. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
[Zoe reaches for something in her back pocket. Rifles cock.]
LOCKE: It’s okay.
ZOE [speaking into walkie-talkie]: Do u have fix on my position?
MAN: Roger that.
ZOE: toon them what we’re capable of.
[Whistling sound overhead, followed door a loud explosion. Everyone ducks, except Locke, who doe not flinch.]
ZOE: u have until nightfall to return what u took; of volgende time, we won’t miss. [Zoe tosses walkie-talkie to Locke, who catches it.] Call me when you’re ready for us to pick him up. [Zoe walks off.]
[Locke drops walkie-talkie to the ground and smashes it with the stick he had whittled.]
LOCKE: Well…here we go.

[Flash-sideways timeline. Claire enters a building and speaks with man at reception desk.]
CLAIRE: Uh, hi. I have an appointment with the Western Pacific Adoption Agency.
MAN: Fifteenth floor, and sign in, please.
CLAIRE: Sure. [Claire signs in. Looks up suspiciously at Desmond as he addresses her.]
DESMOND: hallo there. How are you? Uh, we met at the airport. The, uh, the baggage claim.
CLAIRE: Oh, yeah, right.
DESMOND: Nice. I’m Desmond. Desmond Hume. Um, I never got your name. Uh…[looks at the sign in sheet.] “Claire Littleton.” So--So how u doin’?
CLAIRE: Um, I’m okay. Better now. I actually had a bit of a scare, ended up in the hospital.
DESMOND: Oh, no. I’m sorry. Are you…
CLAIRE: Oh, no. It’s all good now, so…Oh, door the way, uh, u were right. It’s a boy.
DESMOND: I have a nose for these things. Look, um…excuse me if this sounds a bit personal, but I couldn’t help noticing you’re going to an adoption agency….alone.
CLAIRE: Uh…yeah. You’re right. It is personal.
DESMOND: No, I just meant that u should have some--some legal representation.
CLAIRE: What, are u a lawyer?
DESMOND: No, no. But, uh, it just so happens that I’m on my to see one. u know, adoption contracts are complicated; and, u should be careful because u could find yourself in a situation that’s irreversible.
CLAIRE: Yeah, I-I don’t have money for a lawyer. [Desmond follows Claire onto an elevator, she presses 15th floor button.] What floor?
DESMOND: Um…I’m--I’m going to 15 as well. Look, this, um, this attorney I’m seeing--she’s excellent. Uh, u know, plus, she owes me a favor. So…why don’t u just come and meet her? u know, I think she could really help you.
[Claire and Desmond leave elevator.]
DEMOND: Look, I promise u it won’t cost u a cent. Please. It’d be my absolute pleasure.
CLAIRE: Uh, sure.
DESMOND: Great, this way. [Holds door open for Claire. They enter a law office and stop at receptionist.] Hi. Uh, Desmond Hume to see Ms. Verdansky, please.
RECEPTIONIST [types at computer]: Oh, yes, Mrs. Hume, she’s expecting you. Have a seat.
DESMOND: Great
CLAIRE: Hey, um…thank you.
DESMOND: You’re very welcome.
ILANA [with an American accent]: Desmond! [They embrace and kiss on the cheek.]
DESMOND: Ah, Ilana. Uh, Claire, this is Ilana. Ilana, I’d like u to meet a friend of mine, Claire Littleton.
ILANA: Claire Littleton, um…
DESMOND: I was hoping you’d be able to help her, um….
ILANA: I’m sorry…Claire Littleton from Australia?
CLAIRE: Um, do I know you?
ILANA: No, but this is a quite a coincidence. We’ve been looking for you. Desmond, do u mind if I speak with Ms. Littleton alone for a few minutes?
DESMOND: No, absolutely fine. Go right ahead.
[Claire follows Ilana away from reception area.]
editAct 3[Original timeline. Claire walks into Locke’s camp and goes to Hurley.]
LOCKE: Listen up, everyone.
CLAIRE: Hey. What’s going on?
HURLEY: People are trying to kill us again.
LOCKE: All this is happening a bit sooner than I’d expected, but these people have forced our hand, claiming we stal something from them, trying to provoke us into a confrontation. Well, if that’s what they want, that’s what they’ll get. Gather your things, we’re going to the other island and we’re getting on that plane. James, I need your help with something. [They walk away as Jack watches them.] There’s a boot moored just a few hours down the kust-, oever from here. I want u to get it and meet the rest of us on the other side of these bluffs. [Locke shows James a map] We’ll all sail over to the other island together.
SAWYER: How come we’re not all heading for it together?
LOCKE: The bigger the group, the slower it moves.
SAWYER: All right. I could use another pair of hands.
LOCKE: Take whoever you. How about it, Freckles? Know anything about sailing?
KATE: I know enough.
LOCKE: Good. We’ll be waitin’ for ya. Sayid, u got a minute? [Jack watches Sayid follow Locke.]
SAWYER [whispers]: Give me a hand with something’? [Jack follows Sawyer] Listen up, ‘cause I’m only gonna say this once. We’re not going to that rendezvous point to pick up Locke. I got a deal with Widmore.
JACK: What kind of deal?
SAWYER: Just listen. First chance u get, double back, hoof it to this spot. [points to map] There’s an old dock. Grab Hugo, Sun and Lapidus. Kate and I will meet u there.
JACK: What about Sayid and Claire?
SAWYER: Sayid’s a zombie and Claire’s nuts. She gave up her ticket when she tried to kill Kate. And I ain’t gonna let that happen again. That’s Hugo, Sun and the pilot. Only them. Understand?
JACK: But, how am I supposed to get us away from--from Locke?
SAWYER: u figure it out. [Sawyer hands map to Jack and goes to Kate.] Ready to roll?
KATE: What was that all about?
SAWYER: Guy talk. [Kate looks at Jack as she leaves with Sawyer.]
[Locke and Sayid, away from camp]
LOCKE: I need u to go out to where I’ve got Desmond.
SAYID: I thought u weren’t going to give him back.
LOCKE: I’m not. You’re gonna kill him. And that’s not gonna be a problem, is it, Sayid? u do still want what u asked me for, right?
SAYID: Yes, I do.
LOCKE: Then, go do what I said. [Sayid walks away. Locke heads back to camp.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Sayid, gun in hand, walks toward the well. Points gun at Desmond, who is bloody and sitting in shallow water.]
DESMOND: So what did he offer ya? If you’re gonna shoot me in cold blood, brother…I think I have a right to know what you’re getting’ in exchange for it.
SAYID: He told me I could get something back I lost.
DESMOND: And what did u lose?
SAYID: The woman I loved.
DESMOND: And where is she now?
SAYID: Dead.
DESMOND: And what makes u think Locke can bring her back?
SAYID: I died…and he brought me back.
DESMOND: So, what will u tell her?
SAYID: What do u mean?
DESMOND: This woman--when she asks u what u did to be with her again…what will u tell her?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Flash-sideways timeline. Sayid rushes into the home pagina of his brother and Nadia. He grabs a bag and suitcase.]
NADIA [smiling]: Sayid. [Expression changes as she sees the suitcases.] What’s going on?
SAYID: Everything will be okay for u now. I took care of it.
NADIA: What do u mean? Where are u going?
SAYID: I have to leave.
NADIA: Did u hurt someone?
SAYID: Nadia, I’m leaving. And I’m never going to be able to come back again.
[Doorbell rings.]
NADIA: What did u do, Sayid?
SAYID [whispers]: Stall them.
[Nadia goes to the door.]
NADIA: Who is it?
MILES: LAPD.
NADIA: May I see some identification?
MILES: Can u open the door, please. [Nadia opens the door.] Mrs. Jarrah, I’m Detective Straume. I need to ask u some questions. u have a few minutes? [Miles sees the suitcases and looks at Nadia.]
[Sayid leaves through the rear door, but is tripped door a hose held door Sawyer, who points a gun at Sayid.]
SAWYER: That’s good, stay down. [Handcuffs Sayid.] Sayid Jarrah, you’re under arrest.
editAct 4[Original timeline. Sawyer peers out from the jungle to a boot off shore.]
SAWYER: Thar she blows. [Sawyer and Kate walk onto the beach.] u ready to get wet?
KATE: Ah. u sure this is a good idea?
SAWYER: u see a bridge?
KATE: Going back to get Locke.
SAWYER: Of course not. It’s a terrible idea, which is why we ain’t doing it.
KATE: What?
SAWYER: We’re gonna ditch Locke. You, me Jack, Hurley, Sun and that pilot that looks like he’s stepped off the set of a Burt Reynolds movie.
KATE: When were u planning on telling me this?
SAWYER: Now.
KATE: Wait. u didn’t say Claire.
SAWYER: She ain’t coming. The Claire u came back for is gone.
KATE: I promised I would bring her back.
SAWYER: That was before she started drinkin’ Locke’s kool-aid. She’s dangerous, u really want her around Aaron? Let’s go. We ain’t got much time.
[Sawyer and Kate swim to boat.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Locke leads his group through the jungle.]
JACK: Hey, Claire.
CLAIRE: Jack.
JACK: How long have u been with Locke?
CLAIRE: Ever since u left.
JACK: So u trust him?
CLAIRE: Yeah.
JACKS: Why?
CLAIRE: ‘Cause he’s the only one that didn’t abandon me.
[Locke’s followers are walking single file and go in the direction that he points. Locke looks down the line and talks to Sun.]
LOCKE: Sun. Have u seen Sayid? He was supposed to catch up with us about a half a mile back. [She doesn’t answer.] Oh, the silent treatment?
[She takes out a note pad from her bag and writes]: “You did this to me!”
LOCKE [scoffs]: I’m sorry, Sun, but I didn’t do anything to you. [Locke touches Cindy’s shoulder.] James should be on his way door now. Just keep everyone moving to the beach, I’ll catch up with u there.
CINDY: Where are u going?
LOCKE: I wanna make sure nobody got left behind.
[Jack watches Locke leave.]
JACK: Hurley, wait up.
HURLEY: Yeah?
JACK: Sun. [Sun and Lapidus go over to Jack and Hurley. Claire is observing.] We have to go now.
LAPIDUS: Go where?
JACK: There’s no time. We just gotta go. Follow me.
HURLEY: Um, I think we should stick to Sawyer’s plan, of he’ll be really pissed.
JACK: This is Sawyer’s plan. Let’s go!
[Claire angrily watches as Jack, Hurley, Sun, Lapidus trot away.]
LOCKE: Hello, Jack. I was hoping you'd come.
[Hurley hands Locke his torch.]
LOCKE: I think we have some catching up to do.
[Jack walks up to Hurley.]
JACK: Hurley. This was your idea. u alright with me talking with him alone?

[Locke comes out of a tent and smiles at Zoe.]

CLAIRE: Uh, hi. I have an appointment with the Western Pacific Adoption Agency.
MAN: Fifteenth floor, and sign in, please.
CLAIRE: Sure. [Claire signs in. Looks up suspiciously at Desmond as he addresses her.]
DESMOND: hallo there. How are you? Uh, we met at the airport. The, uh, the baggage claim.
CLAIRE: Oh, yeah, right.
DESMOND: Nice. I’m Desmond. Desmond Hume. Um, I never got your name. Uh…[looks at the sign in sheet.] “Claire Littleton.” So--So how u doin’?
CLAIRE: Um, I’m okay. Better now. I actually had a bit of a scare, ended up in the hospital.
DESMOND: Oh, no. I’m sorry. Are you…
CLAIRE: Oh, no. It’s all good now, so…Oh, door the way, uh, u were right. It’s a boy.
DESMOND: I have a nose for these things. Look, um…excuse me if this sounds a bit personal, but I couldn’t help noticing you’re going to an adoption agency….alone.
CLAIRE: Uh…yeah. You’re right. It is personal.
DESMOND: No, I just meant that u should have some--some legal representation.
CLAIRE: What, are u a lawyer?
DESMOND: No, no. But, uh, it just so happens that I’m on my to see one. u know, adoption contracts are complicated; and, u should be careful because u could find yourself in a situation that’s irreversible.
CLAIRE: Yeah, I-I don’t have money for a lawyer. [Desmond follows Claire onto an elevator, she presses 15th floor button.] What floor?
DESMOND: Um…I’m--I’m going to 15 as well. Look, this, um, this attorney I’m seeing--she’s excellent. Uh, u know, plus, she owes me a favor. So…why don’t u just come and meet her? u know, I think she could really help you.
[Claire and Desmond leave elevator.]
DEMOND: Look, I promise u it won’t cost u a cent. Please. It’d be my absolute pleasure.
CLAIRE: Uh, sure.
DESMOND: Great, this way. [Holds door open for Claire. They enter a law office and stop at receptionist.] Hi. Uh, Desmond Hume to see Ms. Verdansky, please.
RECEPTIONIST [types at computer]: Oh, yes, Mrs. Hume, she’s expecting you. Have a seat.
DESMOND: Great
CLAIRE: Hey, um…thank you.
DESMOND: You’re very welcome.
ILANA [with an American accent]: Desmond! [They embrace and kiss on the cheek.]
DESMOND: Ah, Ilana. Uh, Claire, this is Ilana. Ilana, I’d like u to meet a friend of mine, Claire Littleton.
ILANA: Claire Littleton, um…
DESMOND: I was hoping you’d be able to help her, um….
ILANA: I’m sorry…Claire Littleton from Australia?
CLAIRE: Um, do I know you?
ILANA: No, but this is a quite a coincidence. We’ve been looking for you. Desmond, do u mind if I speak with Ms. Littleton alone for a few minutes?
DESMOND: No, absolutely fine. Go right ahead.
[Claire follows Ilana away from reception area.]
editAct 3[Original timeline. Claire walks into Locke’s camp and goes to Hurley.]
LOCKE: Listen up, everyone.
CLAIRE: Hey. What’s going on?
HURLEY: People are trying to kill us again.
LOCKE: All this is happening a bit sooner than I’d expected, but these people have forced our hand, claiming we stal something from them, trying to provoke us into a confrontation. Well, if that’s what they want, that’s what they’ll get. Gather your things, we’re going to the other island and we’re getting on that plane. James, I need your help with something. [They walk away as Jack watches them.] There’s a boot moored just a few hours down the kust-, oever from here. I want u to get it and meet the rest of us on the other side of these bluffs. [Locke shows James a map] We’ll all sail over to the other island together.
SAWYER: How come we’re not all heading for it together?
LOCKE: The bigger the group, the slower it moves.
SAWYER: All right. I could use another pair of hands.
LOCKE: Take whoever you. How about it, Freckles? Know anything about sailing?
KATE: I know enough.
LOCKE: Good. We’ll be waitin’ for ya. Sayid, u got a minute? [Jack watches Sayid follow Locke.]
SAWYER [whispers]: Give me a hand with something’? [Jack follows Sawyer] Listen up, ‘cause I’m only gonna say this once. We’re not going to that rendezvous point to pick up Locke. I got a deal with Widmore.
JACK: What kind of deal?
SAWYER: Just listen. First chance u get, double back, hoof it to this spot. [points to map] There’s an old dock. Grab Hugo, Sun and Lapidus. Kate and I will meet u there.
JACK: What about Sayid and Claire?
SAWYER: Sayid’s a zombie and Claire’s nuts. She gave up her ticket when she tried to kill Kate. And I ain’t gonna let that happen again. That’s Hugo, Sun and the pilot. Only them. Understand?
JACK: But, how am I supposed to get us away from--from Locke?
SAWYER: u figure it out. [Sawyer hands map to Jack and goes to Kate.] Ready to roll?
KATE: What was that all about?
SAWYER: Guy talk. [Kate looks at Jack as she leaves with Sawyer.]
[Locke and Sayid, away from camp]
LOCKE: I need u to go out to where I’ve got Desmond.
SAYID: I thought u weren’t going to give him back.
LOCKE: I’m not. You’re gonna kill him. And that’s not gonna be a problem, is it, Sayid? u do still want what u asked me for, right?
SAYID: Yes, I do.
LOCKE: Then, go do what I said. [Sayid walks away. Locke heads back to camp.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Sayid, gun in hand, walks toward the well. Points gun at Desmond, who is bloody and sitting in shallow water.]
DESMOND: So what did he offer ya? If you’re gonna shoot me in cold blood, brother…I think I have a right to know what you’re getting’ in exchange for it.
SAYID: He told me I could get something back I lost.
DESMOND: And what did u lose?
SAYID: The woman I loved.
DESMOND: And where is she now?
SAYID: Dead.
DESMOND: And what makes u think Locke can bring her back?
SAYID: I died…and he brought me back.
DESMOND: So, what will u tell her?
SAYID: What do u mean?
DESMOND: This woman--when she asks u what u did to be with her again…what will u tell her?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Flash-sideways timeline. Sayid rushes into the home pagina of his brother and Nadia. He grabs a bag and suitcase.]
NADIA [smiling]: Sayid. [Expression changes as she sees the suitcases.] What’s going on?
SAYID: Everything will be okay for u now. I took care of it.
NADIA: What do u mean? Where are u going?
SAYID: I have to leave.
NADIA: Did u hurt someone?
SAYID: Nadia, I’m leaving. And I’m never going to be able to come back again.
[Doorbell rings.]
NADIA: What did u do, Sayid?
SAYID [whispers]: Stall them.
[Nadia goes to the door.]
NADIA: Who is it?
MILES: LAPD.
NADIA: May I see some identification?
MILES: Can u open the door, please. [Nadia opens the door.] Mrs. Jarrah, I’m Detective Straume. I need to ask u some questions. u have a few minutes? [Miles sees the suitcases and looks at Nadia.]
[Sayid leaves through the rear door, but is tripped door a hose held door Sawyer, who points a gun at Sayid.]
SAWYER: That’s good, stay down. [Handcuffs Sayid.] Sayid Jarrah, you’re under arrest.
editAct 4[Original timeline. Sawyer peers out from the jungle to a boot off shore.]
SAWYER: Thar she blows. [Sawyer and Kate walk onto the beach.] u ready to get wet?
KATE: Ah. u sure this is a good idea?
SAWYER: u see a bridge?
KATE: Going back to get Locke.
SAWYER: Of course not. It’s a terrible idea, which is why we ain’t doing it.
KATE: What?
SAWYER: We’re gonna ditch Locke. You, me Jack, Hurley, Sun and that pilot that looks like he’s stepped off the set of a Burt Reynolds movie.
KATE: When were u planning on telling me this?
SAWYER: Now.
KATE: Wait. u didn’t say Claire.
SAWYER: She ain’t coming. The Claire u came back for is gone.
KATE: I promised I would bring her back.
SAWYER: That was before she started drinkin’ Locke’s kool-aid. She’s dangerous, u really want her around Aaron? Let’s go. We ain’t got much time.
[Sawyer and Kate swim to boat.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Locke leads his group through the jungle.]
JACK: Hey, Claire.
CLAIRE: Jack.
JACK: How long have u been with Locke?
CLAIRE: Ever since u left.
JACK: So u trust him?
CLAIRE: Yeah.
JACKS: Why?
CLAIRE: ‘Cause he’s the only one that didn’t abandon me.
[Locke’s followers are walking single file and go in the direction that he points. Locke looks down the line and talks to Sun.]
LOCKE: Sun. Have u seen Sayid? He was supposed to catch up with us about a half a mile back. [She doesn’t answer.] Oh, the silent treatment?
[She takes out a note pad from her bag and writes]: “You did this to me!”
LOCKE [scoffs]: I’m sorry, Sun, but I didn’t do anything to you. [Locke touches Cindy’s shoulder.] James should be on his way door now. Just keep everyone moving to the beach, I’ll catch up with u there.
CINDY: Where are u going?
LOCKE: I wanna make sure nobody got left behind.
[Jack watches Locke leave.]
JACK: Hurley, wait up.
HURLEY: Yeah?
JACK: Sun. [Sun and Lapidus go over to Jack and Hurley. Claire is observing.] We have to go now.
LAPIDUS: Go where?
JACK: There’s no time. We just gotta go. Follow me.
HURLEY: Um, I think we should stick to Sawyer’s plan, of he’ll be really pissed.
JACK: This is Sawyer’s plan. Let’s go!
[Claire angrily watches as Jack, Hurley, Sun, Lapidus trot away.]
