Confessions
She stands at the end of the dock looking at the place where they took their first steps back into reality. She walks forward to the end of the dock and falls to her knees. Her hand traces the plank in front of her, starting from her left at the end running down to the other. Her hand stops just after the middle. It lingers on that same spot; she starts to make small patterns with her index finger. It looks as if she is writing. Suddenly her whole body is shaking and she is crying. Why? She knows now what it is that she has to do. She gets up, wipes her eyes, and walks away. The camera stays watching her go, until she is barley visible the camera turns around to the spot where her hand just was, it's a little out of focus, then zooms in and clears. The name Jack Sheppard is engraved on the dock, amongst many others that is clear, they all seem to be running down the last plank in some kind of alphabetical order. Several names are readable, but only a few names are recognisable as the people we knew from the beach.
There stood at the radio tower, none of them still believing that call even took place. A women's voice is heard saying "was that real, are we really going home?" Kate looks at Jack she smiles he smiles back at her. Kate just sprints forward and wraps her arms around him. She closes her eyes, it was just like before. Jack spins her round but suddenly stops and puts her down, his eyes finally see and his mind catches up. Naomi was dead. She was the one that had succeeded in getting the transmission, getting the call. Charlie was Naomi was and all the people down at the beach are the heroes. He walks over to Naomi's body and turns her over slowly; he looks at her and closes her eyes. He slides his left arm under her arms, his right under her legs and picks her up gently. He holds her like a groom would his wife; with dignity and respect. He starts walking in the direction they just came, Kate look ahead shocked, was he not telling them to come with him, or did he not want them too. Kate looks around to everyone knowing that Jack needs her to do this for him. She lets out a deep breath. She acknowledges them all, and tells them to follow her, that they were gonna follow the path that they came on, and that hopefully they should get back to that spot by the river and they can get some rest for the night. They all set off following Kate, who is walking fast to try and catch up to Jack. She finally catches up to him; they've been walking 15 minutes.
Kate: "Jack, will you slow down. He carries on walking. Jack!"
He turns around tears in his eyes, everything taking its toll on him and ready to spill.
Jack: "I can't, 'cos if I stop… I don't think I'll be able to pick her up again and carry on."
Kate walks up to him and touches his arm, everyone has stopped a little way back to give them privacy.
Kate: "So let me help you."
Jack: "I can't, I need to do this, it was my fault, I…."
Kate's hand now comes up to his face.
Kate: "Jack, it is not your felt! You need to start letting others help you… let me help you. Stop blaming yourself, we all need you Jack, and I can't do all this on my own."
Her hand drops having realised it was still on his face, she suddenly feels awkward as they haven't spoken about before, and she hasn't addressed her feelings; that she too feels the same way. Jack smiles, she was right. He turns round and walks back to the others.
Jack: " I'm sorry about walking off and not saying anything, if we carry on walking in the direction we came in another half hour we can rest then another half hour after that and we should be at that river. We… Claire walks forward and speaks up.
Claire: "Kate already told us, she said that we would rest for the night at the river."
Jack smiles, and laughs a little.
Jack: "She did? Well then, let's carry on."
He turns round and catches up to Kate who is still stood further up.
Jack: "I hear were resting at the river?"
Kate smiles at him and turns to look at him.
Kate: "Yeah, I figured that's what you would do." She looks in his eyes; they both stop and look at the other.
They sense everyone is now behind them, Kate blushes, and Jack looks down.
Jack: "I can't carry on carrying Naomi like this, for the whole way back no matter how much I want to… so… will you help me put her over my shoulder?"
Kate: "Of course."
Kate holds Naomi while Jack rearranges the straps on his bag, then he nods at Kate, and she helps place Naomi on Jack's shoulder.
Kate is stood looking at Jack, smiling gently at him.
Jack: "Thank you."
Kate: "You're welcome.
They lock eyes again, then Jack looks down and Kate looks over his shoulder and sees everyone waiting. Her eyes look alert and she blushes furiously, turning around quickly and walking forward.
I think we best hurry up before it starts to get dark."
Jack looks over his shoulder and sees everyone looking tiered, and realizes that he and Kate have delayed them once again, he smiles sympathetically at everyone then sets of to catch up to Kate.
Claire: "I wish them two would get together already." Claire smiles at Sun who is stood to her left.
Sun: "I know what you mean, I mean maybe then we can finally get to river before nightfall."
She now laughs, she actually said it out load, she looks at Claire and both the women laugh, and then carries on walking.
Back to Jack and Kate, Jack has now caught up to Kate.
Jack: "Hey, why'd you walk off so quickly?"
Jack touches her arm. Kate shrugs him off. Jack looking hurt, Kate seeing this, but not wanting to stop again carries on walking, and tries to apologise.
Kate: "I'm sorry, it's just that I'm tiered, and so is everybody else, I don't want to stop them again, plus we want to get to the river before it gets dark don't we?"
Jack nods slowly, he walks at a slightly quicker pace, so he is now walking ahead of everyone. Now Kate looks a little hurt, but she can't go back on what she had just said, they will have to talk about this and everything else after.
