INT. AN ORPHANAGE (FLASHBACK)
We see a small boy (YOUNG LOCKE) laid down on bed. He is staring up at the ceiling and humming a tune of some sort. Then, enters a young NUN who is carrying something. YOUNG LOCKE looks over at the NUN.
YOUNG LOCKE
What's that, Sister?
The NUN shows him a small child.
NUN/ SISTER
Johnathan, meet your younger brother.
The NUN smiles widely at YOUNG LOCKE. YOUNG LOCKE jumps up off of the bed and makes his way cautiously over to the NUN and the child.
YOUNG LOCKE
What? How do you know that?
The NUN laughs at him.
NUN/ SISTER
Johnathan, we know the woman that delivered you both to us is the same woman and thus your mother.
YOUNG LOCKE
Ok...
YOUNG LOCKE stares at the baby for a moment.
YOUNG LOCKE (CONTN'D)
What he called?
NUN/ SISTER
We've named him Nathaniel.
YOUNG LOCKE looks up at the NUN.
YOUNG LOCKE
Nathaniel?
NUN/ SISTER
Do you not like it, Johnathan?
YOUNG LOCKE shakes his head.
YOUNG LOCKE
No, he doesn't suit him... how about... Robert?
NUN/ SISTER
Is that what you wish to call him?
YOUNG LOCKE
Yes
The NUN smiles widely at him.
NUN/ SISTER
Well, that is what we shall call him...
YOUNG LOCKE looks up surprised that she actually did this.
NUN/ SISTER (CONTN'D)
And, Johnathan, do you know what this means for you and Robert?
YOUNG LOCKE
What?
NUN/ SISTER
You get to go to a home.
YOUNG LOCKE'S eyes open.
YOUNG LOCKE
Really?
NUN/ SISTER
Yes!
YOUNG LOCKE embraces the NUN'S leg to show his affection.
NUN/ SISTER (CONTN'D)
Oh, I will miss you, Johnathan.
INT. THE GRIFFIN
LOCKE and DESMOND are walking cautiously down a corridor. The walls have all graffiti on them (similar to The Swan graffiti). Amongst the graffiti is The Griffin symbol which is the same octagon shape but which the shape of a griffin (half eagle, half lion- a mythical creature) inside it posing proudly in black with DHARMA written on it. DESMOND looks worried about the whole experience whereas LOCKE seems calm about going down here.
DESMOND
Is it just down here then?
DESMOND points down the corridor where a door comes into view. LOCKE smiles widely.
LOCKE
Yep. Not long now. You do realise, you can't turn back now.
LOCKE laughs at this as DESMOND just confused/ worried. They make their way to the door and go through it.
LOST
INT. HURLEY'S TENT
CLAIRE pops her head around the tent flap. HURLEY is on the floor just eating something. He quickly sees CLAIRE coming in and shoves it down his gob.
CLAIRE
Hey Hurley
HURLEY attempts to hide his stuffed mouth.
HURLEY
Oh... hey
HURLEY swallows
HURLEY (CONTN'D)
Hey, Claire. You ok?
CLAIRE
Yeah but I was just wondering whether you could take a walk with me?
HURLEY
Erm... yeah but isn't it a bit late?
HURLEY looks out of tent to see that it is dark outside.
HURLEY (CONTN'D)
What about like Aaron? Isn't it late for him... so don't you like have to put him to bed or something?
CLAIRE
He's asleep and I've already asked Rose to look after him for the night.
HURLEY
Oh... ok then.
HURLEY looks at his food.
HURLEY (CONTN'D)
Erm... Claire, can I just finish that first?
CLAIRE
Oh yeah... that's fine. Erm... I'll be over at my tent for when we go
CLAIRE backs out of the tent as HURLEY begins to eat his food once more.
EXT. THE MIDDLE OF THE JUNGLE
MINKOWSKI and AL are walking whilst BEN is still being dragged along by AL.
MINKOWSKI
Not long now... hey?
AL looks about the jungle
AL
I don't think so... maybe 15ish minutes I reckon.
MINKOWSKI
Yeah
We see them all carry on walking into the deep jungle.
INT. THE HYDRA HOLE LEADING DOWN TO THE UNDERWATER STATION
JULIET is furthest down the hole followed by JACK and then SAYID. SAYID looks down at the two below him.
SAYID
Erm... Juliet, is this the way down?
JULIET looks up at him as much as she possibly can.
JULIET
Yeah! This will lead us onto the tunnel way that we can get to The Hydra. This entrance is lesser known so that's why it was covered in bushes and everything like that.
SAYID
Ok!
JACK looks impatiently at both of them.
JACK
Can we please get down there? Remember, they'll be down there.
JULIET
Oh yeah!
They all begin to carry on down the hole with the ladder.
INT. THE GRIFFIN
LOCKE and DESMOND enter into the room through the door. In the room is the actual station which contains many computers. LOCKE smiles as he enters whereas DESMOND looks amazed by the room.
DESMOND
John, what's this place?
LOCKE
The Griffin: the meteorological station... I think
DESMOND
And how will that make me change my mind? John, look here! All there is, is computers that monitor weather patterns!
LOCKE
Yes but on top of this place is a satellite dish which, I reckon, will allow us to change the frequency and access the outside world... I know how everyone wants to get off this island so I thought why don't I help them? Then, I'd be a good guy... I realised what I did to Naomi but look what she's brought to the island!
LOCKE looks to be getting angry.
EXT. OUTSIDE A COTTAGE (FLASHBACK)
The NUN (holding baby ROBERT) and YOUNG LOCKE are stood at a front door. The NUN turns to YOUNG LOCKE.
NUN/ SISTER
Are you ready, Johnathan?
YOUNG LOCKE nods his head and then the NUN rings the doorbell. They wait there until a man opens the front door of the house. A woman is standing behind him. They are both smiling widely.
THE MAN
Please... come in
The NUN, baby ROBERT and YOUNG LOCKE enter the house through the front door.
INT. INSIDE THE HOUSE IN THE LIVING ROOM
The NUN and YOUNG LOCKE are sat on a sofa opposite the man and the woman. The NUN turns to YOUNG LOCKE.
NUN/ SISTER
Johnathan, I want you to meet your new parents. They are called Glenn and Vivian.
GLENN and VIVIAN smile at YOUNG LOCKE
VIVIAN
Johnathan, well, that's a very nice name.
YOUNG LOCKE looks awkwardly at her.
JOHNATHAN/ YOUNG LOCKE
Thanks
GLENN
We already have one adopted child, Jeannie. She'll be upstairs and I'm sure you'll get on. She is nine, so only one year older than you.
GLENN holds up a finger up at him to signify the one year older.
NUN/ SISTER
Well, Johnathan, I'm going to leave you now with Glenn and Vivian so that you three can get to know each other whilst I just sort out Robert.
The NUN smiles at GLENN and VIVAN and then exits leaving YOUNG LOCKE, GLENN and VIVIAN alone together. They smile at each other in a bit of an awkward moment.
GLENN
Well, shall we play a game?
COMMERCIAL BREAK
INT. GLENN & VIVIAN'S LIVING ROOM (FLASHBACK)
YOUNG LOCKE is sat waiting on the sofa. He looks around impatiently. Then, enters GLENN (pushing a buggy with ROBERT in) and VIVIAN. He jumps off of the sofa and runs over to them.
YOUNG LOCKE
Are we off yet?
GLENN laughs
GLENN
Yes, Johnathan. We are off now to the park.
YOUNG LOCKE
Yes
He smiles widely. VIVIAN turns to GLENN.
VIVIAN
Oh... I better get Jeannie.
VIVIAN makes her way over to the foot of the stairs.
VIVIAN (SHOUTING UPSTAIRS)
Jeannie! Are you coming?
JEANNIE (SHOUTING)
Yes...
We hear a heavy thudding beginning to come down the stairs. At the top of the stairs we see JEANNIE (a rather small girl with black hair who looks scary and death like).
VIVIAN
Are you ok, darling?
JEANNIE
No!
JEANNIE makes the rest of her way down the stairs. We see YOUNG LOCKE looking scares at JEANNIE. VIVIAN walks over to GLENN.
VIVIAN
Shall we go then?
GLENN nods her head. They begin to make their way towards the door. YOUNG LOCKE and JEANNIE are also pushed together as they make their way towards the door. YOUNG LOCKE looks up at JEANNIE.
YOUNG LOCKE
Are you ok?
JEANNIE
Death will find you...
They make their way out of the door with a scared YOUNG LOCKE running up to join GLENN and VIVIAN which leaves JEANNIE by herself.
INT. THE GRIFFIN MAIN ROOM
We see LOCKE almost calming himself. He looks at DESMOND.
LOCKE
Might you be able to contact them?
DESMOND
I don't know
DESMOND looks hesitant but then he sits down and begins to fiddle with equipment.
LOCKE
Thank you...
INT. THE TUNNEL WAY
We see JULIET, JACK and SAYID suddenly drop down into the tunnel way. Behind them we can see some DHARMA VANS. The three of them look about the tunnel. JULIET points at the DHARMA VANS.
JULIET
Fancy a ride?
She smiles.
JACK
Wait... first, what is this place for?
SAYID
The tunnel way it's...
SAYID is cut off by JULIET
JULIET
How do you know what it is?
SAYID
I remember... my booklet it explained how all the DHARMA stations were connected by a tunnel way. This is it isn't it?
JULIET nods her head.
JULIET
Yeah but the rest of the tunnel is blocked in because of The Collapse.
JACK raises an eyebrow
JACK
The Collapse?
JULIET
Sorry but I don't know what it is. I have just heard snippets about it. Now, shall we get set off?
JACK
Oh yeah. Who wants to drive?
No one volunteers.
JACK (CONTN'D)
Me then...
They begin to run over to one of the DHARMA VANS. JACK gets in the front, accompanied by SAYID and with JULIET in the back of the DHARMA VAN. We then see them drive past the camera gaining speed.
EXT. THE BEACH CAMP
We see HURLEY run up behind CLAIRE and scare her jokingly. She turns round and screams on seeing but quickly shuts up when she notices that it is HURLEY.
CLAIRE
Oh sorry Hurley... I didn't realise it was you...
HURLEY goes all embarrassed.
HURLEY
Erm... I'm sorry Claire
She smiles widely at him.
CLAIRE
Shall we get set off then?
HURLEY
Oh yeah...
They begin to set off into the jungle.
CLAIRE
Did you like your lasagne?
She laughs at him.
HURLEY
Oh yeah...
They then enter the jungle together. They are both holding fire torches.
INT. THE TUNNEL WAY
We now see MINKOWSKI, AL and BEN enter the point at which JULIET, JACK and SAYID had just previously entered. MINKOWSKI looks about.
MINKOWSKI
God... what has happened down here?
AL shrugs his shoulders.
AL
The downfall after The Purge!
MINKOWSKI points over to one of the DHARMA VANS.
MINKOWSKI
Shall we take one of them?
AL nods his head. They make their way over to one of the DHARMA VANS. They enter and begin driving.
INT. THE DHARMA VAN
AL is in the front driving. He turns to MINKOWSKI
AL
Oh, I have missed driving one of these.
AL starts the engine and they begin to drive off in the direction that JULIET, JACK and SAYID set off in.
INT. THE END OF THE TUNNEL
We see JULIET, JACK and SAYID exit the DHARMA VAN. JULIET looks about them. She looks up and sees a doorway/ hatch.
JULIET
There we go
She points upwards.
JULIET (CONTN'D)
We can get into the underwater section of The Hydra through that.
JACK
Ok
He begins to climb on top of the DHARMA VAN.
SAYID
Jack, what are you doing?
JACK turns to him.
JACK
What do you think? Getting into this place!
He begins to climb his way up through the doorway/hatch. SAYID and JULIET begin to follow him.
INT. THE GRIFFIN MAIN ROOM
DESMOND fiddles about with the computer underneath the desk as LOCKE stands watching.
DESMOND
That should do it...
The screens of all the computers suddenly start to fuzz.
LOCKE
You have done it!
He smiles. As DESMOND gets up out from under the desk, LOCKE pats him on the back.
LOCKE (CONTN'D)
Well done!
EXT. A PLAY PARK (FLASHBACK)
GLENN and VIVIAN are sat on a bench whilst YOUNG LOCKE and JEANNIE play on the monkey bars together. YOUNG LOCKE looks to be enjoying himself whereas JEANNIE still seems to be depressed in her own way even though she is on the monkey bars. YOUNG LOCKE is smiling widely. He jumps down off the monkey bars and waves over to GLENN and VIVIAN.
YOUNG LOCKE
HI!
Then suddenly JEANNIE falls from the monkey bars. She makes no verbal sound as she fall to the floor. She just looks up at the sky. YOUNG LOCKE runs over to her. She looks at him. GLENN and VIVIAN then run over.
JEANNIE (TO YOUNG LOCKE)
Just you wait...
She then dies. GLENN and VIVIAN run over and push YOUNG LOCKE out of the way to look at JEANNIE.
GLENN
Jeannie!
VIVIAN begins to cry.
GLENN (CONTN'D)
Jeannie! Wake up!
YOUNG LOCKE then turns around and begins to walk away slowly. He then sees a golden retriever staring at him. As he walks, it begins to follow him. We see behind him over parents beginning to run over to GLENN and VIVIAN to assist him. YOUNG LOCKE turns around to the dog.
YOUNG LOCKE
Go away!
COMMERCIAL BREAK
EXT. THE MIDDLE OF THE JUNGLE
We see HURLEY and CLAIRE walking together in the jungle. HURLEY turns to CLAIRE and stops walking, as does CLAIRE.
HURLEY
So, why did you want to talk to me, Claire? Is about Charlie?
CLAIRE nods her head.
CLAIRE
Yes. I just want to know what happened to him and Jin made it out like you knew because Desmond told you!
HURLEY
Well, Desmond said that he drowned down there after that Mikhail dude threw a bomb or something like that into the room that he was in and like he drowned trying to save you and Aaron.
CLAIRE
He died trying to save me and Aaron. Hurley, what do you mean?
CLAIRE begins to walk once more. HURLEY follows suit.
HURLEY
Well, you know Desmond, well, he had like these flashes like of the future and like he saw Charlie dying constantly in his flashes but like each time Desmond saved him.
CLAIRE stares at him blankly.
HURLEY (CONTN'D)
And like this time, I'm guessing Desmond saw a flash of Charlie dying and then you being saved on a helicopter.
CLAIRE
On a helicopter?
HURLEY
Yeah. Like, Desmond, sees these flashes of events that will occur and because of Charlie's death, you'll be saved by a helicopter. Well, I think that's what it is anyway. So, yeah, that's why Charlie died... he was being a hero.
CLAIRE'S eyes begin to fill up with tears.
CLAIRE
When will this happen?
HURLEY shrugs his shoulders.
HURLEY
I don't know... sorry.
We see them both walk into a large clearing through bushes. As we stay in the place of where they walked through, we just hear a loud scream come from CLAIRE.
INT. THE GRIFFIN
DESMOND and LOCKE watch the fuzzy screen of the computers. It flicks onto a picture of CHARLIE. DESMOND'S eyes open widely. Then, it flicks back onto the fuzzy screen.
DESMOND
Did you just see Charlie then?
LOCKE shakes his head.
LOCKE
No
Then, the picture fuzzily flicks onto PENNY.
PENNY
Hello?
DESMOND suddenly opens his eyes widely.
DESMOND
Penny?
LOCKE looks confused at who is on the screen.
LOCKE
Who is that?
DESMOND turns to LOCKE.
DESMOND
Go!
LOCKE exits the room. DESMOND turns back to the screen.
PENNY
Desmond, is that you?
We see PENNY smile insanely.
PENNY (CONTN'D)
Desmond!
DESMOND
Penny!
PENNY
Desmond, where are you?
DESMOND
I'm on an island...
PENNY
What? Wait, stay on this signal and I'll track you!
DESMOND smiles as he sees PENNY fiddling with some equipment.
DESMOND
Have you got it?
PENNY nods her head.
PENNY
I believe so, Desmond. Oh... I love you
DESMOND
I love...
The screen cuts off.
DESMOND (CONTN'D)
Penny! No! Don't go!
DESMOND stands up and wracks the one computer in front of him. He gets underneath the table and we see him attempting to fiddle the wires again.
DESMOND
Penny!
INT. THE GRIFFIN CORRIDOR
We see LOCKE standing in the corridor. Through the doors, we can hear DESMOND freaking out in The Griffin Main Room.
DESMOND (IN THE MAIN ROOM)
Penny!
LOCKE raises an eyebrow.
LOCKE
So, they are coming then. Well, that is good news...
INT. GLENN AND VIVIAN'S LIVING ROOM (FLASHBACK)
YOUNG LOCKE is sat on the sofa. Opposite him are GLENN and VIVIAN. They are looking at him.
GLENN
Are you ok, Johnathan? This was never meant to happen. We just wanted a happy family... I hope you understand that!
VIVIAN
So, we have got you something to make up for the lessening attention we have being giving you lately...
YOUNG LOCKE looks at them confused.
VIVIAN (CONTN'D)
Go get it, Glenn.
GLENN gets up and goes into the kitchen. He returns holding the dog that had followed YOUNG LOCKE after JEANNIE'S death. YOUNG LOCKE looks horrified by the dog as a present but puts on a smile.
GLENN
We thought that as this dog was visiting us so much lately after Jeannie's death, we would adopt it especially for you and eventually for Robert.
GLENN gives YOUNG LOCKE the lead to the dog.
YOUNG LOCKE
Thanks
INT. THE GRIFFIN MAIN ROOM
We LOCKE enter the main room of The Griffin once more. DESMOND is still underneath the desk fiddling about with wires. DESMOND comes out from underneath to see who has just entered the room: LOCKE.
DESMOND
What?
LOCKE
Well, that is good isn't it? Someone's coming to save us... well, you lot.
INT. THE HYDRA
We see JULIET, JACK and SAYID enter The Hydra coming upwards. They look around and suddenly realise that no one is there. JACK'S face suddenly turns angry.
JACK
Where are they?
JACK starts patrolling about The Hydra station looking for them.
SAYID
Jack, I believe they are not here.
JACK turns to SAYID.
JACK
How is them not being here not possible? The tracks lead to here!
SAYID
Yes, well, they have tricked us.
JACK shakes his head.
JACK
No. They can't have done.
INT. THE TUNNEL WAY
MINKOWSKI, AL and BEN arrive at the point at which they go up into The Hydra station. They see that there is already a DHARMA VAN here. They exit the DHARMA VAN they are in. They walk up to the other DHARMA VAN and inspect it.
MINKOWSKI
Whose here?
AL
I don't know. Let's go up. They will be there if they have just arrived by the looks of it.
MINKOWSKI and AL begin to climb on top of the van pulling BEN up behind them. They go up through the doorway/ hatch which leaves the tunnel way completely empty.
INT. THE HYDRA
We suddenly see MINKOWSKI, AL and BEN pop up from the hole of which JACK, JULIET and SAYID have just come out from. JACK, JULIET and SAYID turn their attention to MINKOWSKI, AL and BEN entering The Hydra. JACK walks up to them.
JACK
There you are!
He smiles rather evilly.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
INT. YOUNG LOCKE'S BEDROOM (FLASHBACK)
YOUNG LOCKE is laid on his bed as the dog that he has been given as a present by GLENN and VIVIAN. He stares intently at it but the dog doesn't budge.
YOUNG LOCKE
Go away! Leave me alone!
We suddenly hear a voice.
VOICE
No Johnathan...
YOUNG LOCKE looks around the room till he sees JEANNIE at the door instead of the dog.
JEANNIE (CONTN'D)
I will never leave you alone Johnathan
YOUNG LOCKE looks scared at JEANNIE'S threat.
YOUNG LOCKE
Please leave! Why do you keep doing this to me?
JEANNIE
You know why Johnathan... you know...
YOUNG LOCKE looks about the room as suddenly JEANNIE disappears and the dog reappears. YOUNG LOCKE stares at the dog once more.
YOUNG LOCKE
GO!
INT. THE GRIFFIN
DESMMOND is sat on the floor looking despondent at losing the image of PENNY on the computer screen whilst LOCKE stands above waiting for DESMOND.
LOCKE
Come on, Desmond. We have come here to do what he set out to do. They are coming.
DESMOND stares up at him.
LOCKE (CONTN'D)
We need to keep this quiet. I hope you understand that, Desmond. No one can find out about us being able to contact the outside world...
DESMOND
Why not?
DESMOND begins to get up off the floor.
LOCKE
Desmond, don't you realise that if everyone finds out about this then they will want to send messages home and we cannot cope with that right at this very moment in time.
DESMOND is up off the floor now. He nods his head at LOCKE
DESMOND
I guess, brother.
LOCKE
Now, come on. We better get back to the beach camp.
EXT. THE MIDDLE OF THE JUNGLE: IN THE CLEARING
We see an up close view of CLAIRE and HURLEY'S faces as they are staring at something.
CLAIRE
What is it, Hurley?
HURLEY
Look, Claire, I honestly do not know. I am as freaked as you are about this whole thing.
We see what they are looking at. It is a skeleton which is held up by a large rope which goes through a hole which has evidently been drilled through the head. On the back of the skull is engraved "WE WON, MAGNUS".
CLAIRE
Who is Magnus?
HURLEY shrugs his shoulders.
HURLEY
Erm... I am guessing the guy who lost to whoever carved that into the back of his head.
CLAIRE
Should we move it or something? We cannot just leave the body hanging there like that, can we?
HURLEY
Well, I think he has been doing pretty fine for the past however long he has been hung up their by that rope going through his skull.
CLAIRE
True...
HURLEY
Should we just keep walking and pretend we never saw it?
HURLEY grimaces.
CLAIRE
Yeah...
They both begin to walk quickly out of the jungle clearing leaving the hanging skeleton of MAGNUS by itself once more. We hear them talking as they walk off.
HURLEY
So... you wanted to talk about Charlie?
EXT. THE BARRACKS
We see the DHARMA people who have just landed on the island going about their own business on the barracks when suddenly we see RICHARD, CINDY and The Others approaching the barracks. We see an up close shot of RICHARD'S face. He turns to CINDY.
CINDY
Who are they?
CINDY looks scared.
RICHARD
I don't know but we are about to find out aren't we.
RICHRD, CINDY and The Other march their way up to the barracks and stop as they notice all the people who have stopped going about their routines and stare at them. One man walks up to them.
THE MAN
Who are you?
RICHARD pauses to think for a moment.
RICHARD
Well, we live here.
RICHARD smiles wickedly at the DHARMA man.
RICHARD (CONTN'D)
So... I think you better say goodbye to this place, don't you?
LOST
