Chapter One: "Starting all over again…"

Flash open.

Daytime on the island.

Shot to Sayid, Sun and Jin on the boat. It rounds a cove and they see the jetty.

Sun: I don't see the other boat.

Sayid is scanning the area through binoculars. Jin comes up to him.

Jin: Andie?
Sayid (shakes his head): I don't see her.

Shot of Hurley walking through the jungle. He is singing to himself. As he's walking he hears a stick break behind him and stops. He turns.

Hurley: Who-whose there?

Another stick breaks; this one even closer.

Hurley: Ahh…French Chick? Is that you?

Andie crashes through a bush into view. Hurley yelps.

Hurley: AH!
Andie: Hurley!
Hurley: Andie! Wait, Andie? What are you doing here?

Andie hugs him.

Andie: Are you okay?
Hurley: Yeah, fine. Did you follow us? How'd you get here?
Andie: Where are they?
Hurley: What?
Andie: Where are they? Where'd They take them?

Hurley looks taken aback. She gets angry when he doesn't answer.

Andie: Jack, Kate and Sawyer! Where are they?!
Hurley: Wait, I-
Andie: Hurley, where did they take them?!
Hurley: I dunno, alright! Michael was working with them to get Walt back. They found us in the jungle and then tied us all up on that pier. They let me go. Said I had to come back to camp and tell the others not to go looking for them. (Beat) I'm sorry, Andie.
Andie: Where did they take them?
Hurley: I don't know.
Andie: How can you not know?!
Hurley: I got the hell out of there as fast as I could. (Beat) Somewhere on the island, I guess.
Andie: No, not on the island. I was watching. They were there one minute and when I looked back they were gone.
Hurley: Huh...weird.

Andie takes a few breaths and calms down.

Hurley: Can we go back to camp now?

Andie chuckles.

Andie: Yeah, sure.

Shot of the pair of them walking through the jungle. Andie's stomach rumbles. Hurley hears it.

Hurley: Dude, you hungry?
Andie: Apparently.

He fishes around in his bag and pulls out a Dharma Nutri-bar and hands it to her.

Andie: Thanks.

She starts eating it.

Andie: Man, that's gross.
Hurley: I know; I guess They don't care about taste.
Andie: Hey, what's the first thing you're gonna ask for to eat when we get rescued?
Hurley: Twinkies. (Beat) You?
Andie: Ice-cream. Lots of ice-cream.
Hurley: Oh, wait; my mum's lasagna. That's what I want.
Andie: You like lasagna?
Hurley: Who doesn't like lasagna?

Her smiling face leads into FLASHBACK.

Shot of Nick coming into their house. He is carrying grocery bags. He heads into the kitchen. Andie is sitting at the table looking concerned. Nick drops the bags on the counter and starts unpacking things.

Nick: Okay, I got everything so we can make our annual Valentines Day lasagna. Bad thing is I couldn't find that sauce we like so I had to improvise. The guy in the store said it was more romantic if we made it from scratch. He didn't seem to get it when I told him we're not the 'make from scratch' kinda people. In the end I faked it through the conversation and bought this on my way out.

He looks at Andie and realizes she isn't herself.

Nick: What's up, baby girl?

She looks up him.

Andie: I don't know if you're gonna like this.

Nick gets concerned.

Nick: What's going on?

Andie takes a long pause.

Andie: I'm pregnant.

Shot of Nick's disbelieving face ends flashback.

END OF FLASHBACK.

Flash to black.

Shot of Sayid finding the deflated boat hidden in the trees.

Shot of Sun and Jin on the yacht tied to the pier as Sayid walks back down the jetty towards them.

Sayid: I found the boat. Destroyed.
Jin: Andie?
Sayid: I saw nothing to suggest she's been taken. But there are a number of tracks that lead onto the jetty and none that lead away.
Sun: What does that mean?
Sayid: I'm not sure.

He climbs back onto the boat. Sun follows him along the deck.

Sun: What do we do now? We need to meet Jack and the others at the signal fire
Sayid: I'm not leaving here without Andie.

He starts the boat and directs it away from the jetty.

Shot to the sun setting. Shot of Andie and Hurley sitting by a fire.

Hurley: So, how long do you think? Until we get back to camp?
Andie: Around midday tomorrow, I'm guessing.

Hurley nods slowly.

Hurley: Were you in the army?
Andie: Excuse me?
Hurley: No, it's just that...back in the jungle...well, you can track, shoot a gun, escape from a crazy, island neighborhood...No one just knows how to do that. I don't know what you did before we crashed so I'm guessing. (Beat) Army?
Andie (smiles): No, I was never in the army.
Hurley: Cop?
Andie: No. I sort of...found people.
Hurley: Found people?
Andie: Yeah. I was hired by someone to find someone else. Kinda ironic seeing how lost we are now.
Hurley: Sounds like your life was kinda cool.
Andie: It had its moments.

FLASHBACK.

Shot of Andie and Nick in a nursery trying unsuccessfully to put together a crib. Nick is reading an instruction manual.

Nick (reading): Insert part A into rod B, attach part B to rod A and part C should connect comfortably.
Andie: Okay...wait, what?
Nick: I don't know.

He starts laughing.

Nick: I'm an architect. I build things for a living and I can't put together a crib?

Andie laughs and gets to her feet, revealing a slightly more pregnant stomach.

Andie: We should have paid the extra hundred bucks and had them build it for us.
Nick: No, no. I'll figure this out.

Andie pats him on the shoulder and leaves the room. The doorbell rings.

Andie: I'll get it!

She goes to the door and pulls it open.

Gordy: Hello Andie.
Andie: Gordy...what are you doing here?
Gordy: Seeing if the rumours are true.
Andie: Rumours?
Gordy: That Andie Parker is settling down. (He eyes her belly) And I see that you are.

Andie comes out onto the porch and shuts the front door behind her.

Andie: What do you want?
Gordy: Your help.
Andie: Help with what?
Gordy: Does Danny know bout that little bundle your hiding?

Andie doesn't reply.

Gordy: Here's what's gonna happen. I got a job and I need a hot young thing like you to pull it off.
Andie: And why should I do that?
Gordy: You help me; I keep quiet 'bout your kid. (Beat) Deal?

Andie doesn't say anything.

Gordy: I'll take that as a yes.

He turns and heads down the front steps.

Gordy: I'll be in touch.

Andie watches him drive away. Then she goes back inside to the nursery. The crib now looks like a crib. Nick holds his arms out proudly.

Nick: I did it!

Andie smiles at him. He goes back to work. Andie adopts a worried expression.

END OF FLASHBACK.

Shot to Andie apparently asleep. Hurley is sitting up poking a stick at the fire. Suddenly he hears something.

Hurley: Hey, Andie? You hear that?

Andie sits up.

Andie: What?
Hurley: Sounds like water.
Andie: Well, we're about a half a mile from the ocean so water is probably a safe bet.

Hurley stands.

Hurley: No, I mean something in the water. Listen.

Andie listens.

Andie: That's a boat. (Realizes) Sayid.

Shot to Sayid gathering dropping anchor on the boat with Sun and Jin. Jin is trying to get a point across to Sayid in Korean.

Sun: He wants to know why we're stopping now. Why we're not going back to camp.
Sayid: It is too dark. I could hit a sandbar and ruin the boat. I'm not willing to risk it. We shall camp here for tonight and head back tomorrow.

Sun translates this for Jin. Sayid opens a compartment and finds an inflatable yellow boat. Not jet powered like the other one, this one is powered by oars. He pulls a tab and it instantly starts inflating. Sayid lowers the blow up raft into the ocean and they all climb in. Jin and Sayid do the rowing.

Sun: What do you think happened to them? Jack and the others? Why didn't they wait at the signal fire?
Sayid: I do not wish to think about it. The fact that Their camp was empty says to me they all went to meet Michael. We will go back to our people and regroup.
Sun: Then what?
Sayid: We will go back for them.

The hit the bank. Sayid gets out and starts to pull it in. Sun goes to help. Jin stops her.

Jin: No, no (Subtitled) I'll do this. You stay there. It's too heavy.

She nods and sits back down. They pull in the raft. Jin heard something and motions to Sayid. Sayid aims his rifle towards the noise. Andie comes stumbling out of the forest.

Sun: Andie!

Hurley comes out behind her. Jin, Sayid and Sun go over to them. Sun hugs Andie.

Sun: Are you okay? What happened?
Sayid: Where are the others?
Jin: Jack? Kate? Sawyer?
Hurley: They took them. They took all of them.

Shot of Sun, Sayid, Jin, Andie and Hurley gathered around the blow up boat.

Sayid: Took them where?
Hurley: I don't know.
Andie: They had to have a boat of their own or something. There is no way they walked off that jetty back to the jungle.
Sun: Perhaps they took them back to the camp where we started the fire?
Sayid: No, that was cleared out. And they know we know where that is; they wouldn't take our friends there.
Hurley: Then where would they take them?
Sayid: I don't know.

Time lapse. Shot of Jin starting a fire on the beach as the sun sets. Hurley and Sun are sorting through the food and water. Andie is sitting away from them on the water's edge in her singlet, cleaning her t-shirt. Sayid comes over and sits beside her.

Sayid: I need your help, Andie.
Andie: With what?
Sayid: I need you to tell me everything you know about the Others.
Andie: I already told you what I remember. (Beat) Why?
Sayid: They've taken Jack, Kate and Sawyer for reasons I don't understand. But I know that they don't want us to find them.
Andie: And how am I supposed to help with that?
Sayid: Claire was kept in the medical hatch. You were kept in their environment. They don't repeat themselves. I believe they're keeping Jack, Kate and Sawyer in a completely different place. Somewhere we've never been before. (Beat) You need to think, Andie. About everything that happened to you when they took you. Everything they said.
Andie: I don't know if I can.
Sayid: You need to try. Did they say anything about another camp? Perhaps another hatch?

Andie looks away from Sayid, deep in thought. She closes her eyes.

MEMORY.

Shot of Andie in her cage talking with Walt.

Walt: They're taking you to the other island. You can't let them.
Andie: Other island?
Walt: That's where they were taking you before but you got away. If you let them take you to the other island, you'll die, Andie.

END OF MEMORY.

Shot back to Andie and Sayid. Andie's eyes fly open and she turns to Sayid.

Andie: There's another island. (Beat) That's where they are.
