EXT. THE BARRACKS- NIGHT TIME
BEVERLEY, LUCAS, JOSEPH and KADEN walk up to the Barracks. They arrive on the grassy area of it. BEVERLEY points to a house and looks to KADEN.
BEVERLEY:
You in there, Kaden
KADEN leaves the group
BEVERLEY then looks to JOSEPH and LUCAS
BEVERLEY (CONT'D):
And you two, Joseph- you over there, and Lucas- you there
BEVERLEY points to houses
JOSEPH and LUCAS head off in the same direction. LUCAS looks about scared
LUCAS:
It is a bit dead isn't it?
JOSEPH:
They'll be asleep or something, won't they?
LUCAS:
I guess
LUCAS nods his head and then they separate. He suddenly stops and looks to JOSEPH
LUCAS (CONT'D):
Ben Linus isn't it?
JOSEPH:
Yeah!
LUCAS turns and carries on to his house. He reaches the house and then goes up the front porch steps. He waits and the door for a moment, taking a deep breath and then he quietly opens the door, entering the house.
CUT TO:
INT. THE HOUSE- NIGHT TIME
LUCAS enters the house and creeps about in the dark. He suddenly notices a little note on the pillar of the house which can just be seen due to the moonlight shining in through the window. He quickly walks over to it and rips it off of the pillar. It reads:
"What a shame, you've just missed us. Oh, and beware of number 23, Ben's house- it can be a bit explosive there"
Camera shot of LUCAS' eyes as they open widely. He turns around quickly and exits the house.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE BARRACKS- NIGHT TIME
LUCAS runs out onto the grassy area and looks about the houses, searching for number 23. He sees it and notices that KADEN is just about to enter the house.
LUCAS:
Kaden! No!
LUCAS begins to run to the house
CUT TO:
INT. HOUSE NUMBER 23- BEN'S HOUSE- NIGHT TIME
Camera shot of above the door as an explosive device is set off as KADEN enters. The fuses burns
CUT TO:
EXT. THE BARRACKS- NIGHT TIME
Suddenly, the house blows up illuminating the whole of the Barracks from the explosion. LUCAS is thrown back onto the floor. He slowly rises his head up to stare at the house which is now on fire. LUCAS' face is slightly hurt by the explosion. He shakes his head in disbelief
LUCAS (CONT'D):
No-
LOST
INT. A BEDROOM- NIGHT TIME (FLASHBACK)
A phone rings in the darkness. A light switches on and a heavily bruised LUCAS can be seen getting out of bed. He has two black eyes and as he gets up he moans in pain. He reaches for the phone and puts it to his face.
LUCAS:
Hello?
VOICE ON PHONE:
Lucas, it is time now to help us. Come to the HQ now. Ok?
LUCAS:
Who is this?
VOICE ON PHONE:
It is Elena DeGroot. I am afraid that you do not know me but I am an acquaintance of Elizabeth's and she is unable to contact you due to some unforeseen circumstances in which you will now be involved and I must contact you instead.
LUCAS stays quiet as he takes in all the information that ELENA has just told him.
ELENA (CONT'D):
Are you still available for us?
LUCAS:
Yes
He slowly nods his head
LUCAS (CONT'D):
I'll be there in twenty minutes or so. Bye
LUCAS puts down the phone and looks to his wardrobe. He painfully gets up out of his bed and begins to make his way over to it.
CUT TO:
EXT. BLOCK OF APARTMENTS- NIGHT TIME
A fully clothed LUCAS exits the block of apartments and makes his way over to his car. He gets in it and sets off.
CUT TO:
INT. A MEETING BOARDROOM- NIGHT TIME
LUCAS slowly enters through a large oak door into a boarding room. It is the same one that JACK was in in his FF in "Deal". LUCAS looks nervously around the room. Sat around the table are ELENA, JOSEPH, KADEN, GRETA, BEVERLEY and Adult ANNIE. Adult ANNIE sits next to ELENA, looking as if she is second in command within the meeting with ELENA in charge. Looking out of the window, turned away from LUCAS is NAOMI. Everyone stares at LUCAS as he walks in. ELENA gives him a weak smile and motions for him to sit down also. He does so.
ELENA:
Thank you all for coming at such short notice.
NAOMI comes and sits down at the table also.
ELENA (CONT'D):
I'm sure you have heard of the great catastrophe of Oceanic Flight 815 and how all passengers aboard the flight, however, we can confirm that this is in fact not the case.
Everyone except ANNIE stares at ELENA in shock
ELENA (CONT'D):
We believe that the passengers of Oceanic Flight 815 are not at the bottom of the ocean near the Sunda Trench but are stuck on an Island in the middle of the Indian Ocean that is shielded from view and cannot be contacted
Camera shot of LUCAS as he frowns at what ELENA is saying
ELENA (CONT'D):
We, the DHARMA initiative, wish to reach this Island and we are only able to do this via the survivors on the Island
ELENA is cut off by NAOMI
NAOMI:
You mean to tell me that these people have survived a plane crash?
ELENA is about to speak but ANNIE speaks over her instead
ANNIE:
Yes. Trust me, Ms. Dorrit, this is a special Island where anything is possible-
ANNIE is cut off by ELENA now as if to keep ANNIE quiet
ELENA:
You all have been chosen for special reasons, based upon your achievements in life and your skills that you have acquired. So, for example, you, Mr. Green
ELENA looks to LUCAS who looks slightly awakened from intense listening.
ELENA (CONT'D):
You are part of our group for your communicational skills and then, you, Ms. Dorrit are here for your leadership skills
ELENA looks to NAOMI
ELENA (CONT'D):
So, can I have your promise that you will commit to this mission?
GRETA:
Is it dangerous?
ANNIE:
To a certain degree
BEVERLEY:
And how would you know?
ANNIE:
I grew up there, on the Island
LUCAS:
So, you say that it is completely incapable of communication with the outside world?
ELENA:
Yes
LUCAS:
So, how are we meant to get onto it? Same if it is "shielded" from us
ELENA:
Don't worry, Lucas, you will easily get onto that Island in time. So, again, is that a "yes" from all?
ELENA looks to them all and they all nod except JOSEPH who seems to look like he is weighing up the options.
JOSEPH:
Money?
JOSEPH raises an eyebrow
ELENA:
Oh, you will be payed a hefty amount of money
JOSEPH:
I'm in then
ELENA:
Good, now you may all go
All get up to leave
ELENA (CONT'D):
Oh except you Mr. Green
LUCAS looks to ELENA and ANNIE
LUCAS:
Yes?
ELENA:
We will require a meeting with you tomorrow, well, later today actually. Ok?
LUCAS:
Of course. Here again?
ELENA:
Yes
ELENA gives him a smile
LUCAS:
Can I ask why?
ELENA:
You'll find out. Now, goodbye
LUCAS nods and begins to exit the room.
SMASH CUT TO:
EXT. THE BARRACKS- MORNING (END OF FLASHBACK)
LUCAS slowly exits a tent that has been set up on the grass of the Barracks. BEVERLEY and JOSEPH are already sat together around a small campfire on which they are cooking something. LUCAS gives them a weak smile
LUCAS:
Morning
They do not reply to him. They are both deep in thought
LUCAS sits down by the campfire too
LUCAS (CONT'D):
What are we going to do now?
LUCAS looks from JOSEPH to BEVERLEY
JOSEPH:
If we knew Lucas, we would tell you
BEVERLEY:
They are going to kill us
There sounds like a lot of fear in BEVERLEY's voice which is unusual
JOSEPH shoots her a look
JOSEPH:
They will not, Bev! They warned us that things like that could happen here
BEVERLEY:
Yes, I know they did but 2 days and 2 causalities is not very impressive
LUCAS:
We need to go and find them, the Hostiles, he must be with them
LUCAS starts to pull out the note which was left
BEVERLEY:
What is that?
BEVERLEY grabs it off of LUCAS and reads it. She looks up to them
BEVERLEY (CONT'D):
Where was this?
BEVERLEY hands it to JOSEPH who also reads
LUCAS:
It was in the house I investigated. I tried to stop Kaden but he was already in there.
There is an awkward silence
JOSEPH:
Where must they be then?
Camera zooms out slightly to look at the three of them.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
EXT. THE BEACH- MORNING
Camera follows JACK as he walks to a group of people who have congregated at the central part of the beach camp. JACK joins the group which consists of KATE, SAYID, DESMOND, DANIELLE and JULIET. He smiles at them all as they turn to face him.
JACK:
You ready to go?
KATE:
You feeling better?
JACK gives KATE a quick look
JACK:
So, "yeah" then. So, where do we reckon Sawyer will be?
SAYID:
I believe they will have taken him to the Barracks.
JACK:
Ok, we'll go there. That sound right?
DESMOND:
About right, brother
DESMOND nods his head
JACK nods back to him and begins to walk off into the jungle. KATE, SAYID, DESMOND, DANIELLE and JULIET follow him.
JULIET runs up to JACK. JACK stares at her arm and raises an eyebrow to her.
JACK:
You think you should be coming along with your arm?
JULIET:
Don't worry, Jack. I will be fine
JACK:
I don't know-
JULIET cuts JACK off
JULIET:
I will be-
CUT TO:
EXT. THE BARRACKS- MORNING
BEVERLEY fiddles about with the radio phone connecting it to a signal. She then holds it up to her face as it begins to ring. A male voice answers it.
BEVERLEY:
George Minkowski?
GEORGE'S VOICE:
Yeah, Bev?
BEVERLEY:
I am afraid to say we have encountered problems on the Island. It turns out that Naomi was killed by one of people, and also on our journeys unfortunately, Greta and Kaden have both died due to unforeseen circumstances
GEORGE' VOICE:
Whoa, Bev. In that short time?
BEVERLEY:
Yes. I am contacting you to seek advice
GEORGE takes a sigh as he thinks
GEORGE' VOICE:
Best option, Bev, is to come back to the freighter
BEVERLEY thinks for a moment
BEVERLEY:
How?
GEORGE' VOICE:
Let me get Annie for you
GEORGE can be heard leaving his position on the other end of the radio phone.
BEVERLEY slowly begins to make her way over to a house. She begins to admire it, reading a notice saying "Dr. Juliet Burke"
Someone then comes back onto the radio phone.
ANNIE' VOICE:
Beverley, George has told me what has happened. It was expected realistically. Do not worry. Now, to get back to the freighter, I would suggest to go to a place called "Pala Ferry" which is on the northern shore of the Island and see whether there is a boat there which allows you to come back to the freighter. Ok?
BEVERLEY:
Yes, that is fine. Ok. I shall see you soon
ANNIE'S VOICE:
Bev, just one question, is Lucas fine?
BEVERLEY:
Yes. Why?
ANNIE'S VOICE:
I just needed to know. Goodbye
ANNIE then puts down the radio phone and as does BEVERLEY, putting it to her side as she stares at a house.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE BEACH- MORNING
ALEX and KARL quickly come out of the bushes of the tree line of the beach. ALEX sees CLAIRE and makes her way over to her.
ALEX:
Claire, have you seen my Mum anywhere?
CLAIRE:
I think she left: going somewhere with Jack and everyone
KARL joins her
ALEX:
Seriously? Oh I need to go find her
CLAIRE gives her a quick nod
CLAIRE:
Well, I am glad I could help
ALEX:
We need to find her, Karl
KARL:
No we do not, Alex. Have a rest. Your Mum have survived out there for 16 years, she will be fine and she has everyone else
ALEX tries to come back but shuts herself up from saying anything
KARL (CONT'D):
Now, go sleep
ALEX embraces KARL, gives him a smile and then goes off somewhere leaving him by himself
CUT TO:
INT. THE TEMPLE- MORNING
Close up shot of SAWYER's face as he takes a deep breath. The camera then zooms out to show SAWYER locked in a small room of the temple. It is dimly lit by light coming through knots in the wooden walls. The door to the small room then opens and RICHARD stands there.
RICHARD:
James, I have a proposition for you
SAWYER:
Nice to see ya too
RICHARD:
Do you want to die?
RICHARD enters the room, closing the door behind him and crouches down in front of SAWYER
RICHARD (CONT'D):
I thought not. Now for my proposition. You find Benjamin Linus for us, taking him from your people and you shall live
SAWYER cracks a smile
SAWYER:
You want me to find Yoda and bring him back?
RICHARD nods
SAWYER (CONT'D):
Sounds easy enough and you'll let me live?
SAWYER plays as if he is dumb and does not know about the sacrifices
RICHARD sighs
RICHARD:
This Temple is where we worship our Gods and twice a year we offer them a sacrifice, most normally an animal but this time, it could be a human. So, basically, you could end up being gone, James-
RICHARD raises an eyebrow him
SAWYER:
So, you are pretty much jus' lettin' me go free?
RICHARD chuckles
RICHARD:
Do you think we are fools?
RICHARD is cut off by SAWYER
SAWYER:
No comment-
RICHARD pauses a moment as he takes in SAWYER's quick comment
RICHARD:
You will be accompanied by one of our people. He will keep an eye on you.
SAWYER:
Why can't you just go yourself?
RICHARD:
I have things to do. So, you agree to it?
SAWYER thinks for a moment
SAWYER:
Go for it then, Tarzan
RICHARD holds out a hand to SAWYER and SAWYER awkwardly, due to his rope binds, shakes hands with him.
SAWYER (CONT'D):
Oh wait, what 'bout my leg?
RICHARD:
That can be sorted
SAWYER:
What, you gonna do some Harry Houdini trick on it?
RICHARD gives a smile at SAWYER and begins to help him up.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE TEMPLE- MORNING
RICHARD leads SAWYER out of the large doors and outside towards a largely built man. RICHARD unties SAWYER's ropes and pushes him over to the man
RICHARD:
This is Gregory, James
GREGORY nods to SAWYER but SAWYER shows no sign of introduction of himself.
RICHARD looks to GREGORY
RICHARD (CONT'D):
I'm sure you have heard all about the illustrious Mr. Sawyer, Greg
GREGORY cracks a smile
RICHARD (CONT'D):
I guess I'll be seeing you soon then
GREGORY turns to SAWYER and begins to push him off into the jungle. RICHARD watches them with a smile upon his face.
CUT TO:
INT. A BARRACKS HOUSE'S BATHROOM- NOON
Camera shot as LUCAS stares into a mirror. He bends his head down and splashes it with from the sink. He comes back up and dabs his face with a towel. He looks down himself in the mirror. He then notices JOSEPH behind him, bare-chested. LUCAS starts to stare at him.
JOSEPH:
You be ready to set off in five minutes, Lucas?
No reply
JOSEPH notices that LUCAS is staring at him
JOSEPH (CONT'D):
Hello
JOSEPH waves his arms at LUCAS and he snaps out of it.
LUCAS:
Oh, sorry, what were you saying?
JOSEPH chuckles slightly
JOSEPH:
Set off in five minutes!
LUCAS:
What has Beverley decided to do?
JOSEPH:
Take us back to the freighter
LUCAS:
Already?
LUCAS looks extremely surprised
JOSEPH:
She has plans
JOSEPH then exits the room.
LUCAS stares at where JOSEPH was stood for a moment, then he turns around and looks back in the mirror, taking a deep breath.
SMASH CUT TO:
INT. THE MEETING BOARDROOM- MORNING (FLASHBACK)
LUCAS enters through the door of the meeting room and instantly sees ANNIE comforting an extremely emotional ELENA who is crying her eyes out. Both ANNIE and ELENA look over to LUCAS. ELENA quickly tries to stop crying. LUCAS senses the awkwardness.
LUCAS:
Oh sorry-
LUCAS quickly exits the room into the corridor
CUT TO:
INT. THE CORRIDOR- MORNING
LUCAS leans up against the room and looks slightly nervous. The door to the meeting room opens and ANNIE exits it.
LUCAS (CONT'D):
Sorry, the receptionist said to walk straight in
ANNIE:
Yes, well, do not worry. We apologise for that, Ms. DeGroot has just received some upsetting news-
LUCAS slowly nods his head in recognition
LUCAS:
Why did you want me here today?
ANNIE:
Ah yes. One of our investors has given us a special task on which we would like you to complete since you are our expert in communications
LUCAS:
Am I?
ANNIE smiles slightly
ANNIE:
You are socially active, Lucas, which is advantageous for you and for us. It will help you survive on that Island
LUCAS:
Ok?
There sounds uncertainty in LUCAS' voice
ANNIE:
Whilst on the Island, you must try to find someone by the name of Desmond Hume
LUCAS:
Why?
ANNIE:
As I said, it was a special task set for us by one of our investors. Do you understand that?
LUCAS:
Yes, of course
ANNIE:
You know, Lucas, I feel that the Island might just be the perfect place for you
LUCAS:
What do you mean by that?
LUCAS looks confused
ANNIE:
Libby informed us of your situation at home and the Island will provide you with a chance to escape from all your troubles
LUCAS stares at ANNIE still slightly confused.
ANNIE notices this and laughs light-heartedly
ANNIE (CONT'D):
You will understand once you get there. Now, go prepare for your adventure
LUCAS nods and begins to walk up the corridor away from ANNIE
SMASH CUT TO:
INT. THE BARRACKS HOUSE'S BATHROOM- NOON (END OF FLASHBACK)
LUCAS looks at himself once more in the mirror and then turns around and exits the bathroom. The camera stays watching the mirror and watches what LUCAS does in the reflection of it.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
EXT. THE JUNGLE- NOON
SAWYER walks slightly behind GREGORY. SAWYER watches him cautiously as they carry on walking through the jungle. SAWYER then runs up a bit and walks directly next to GREGORY. GREGORY gives him a quick shifty look and then looks forward again to the jungle
SAWYER:
So, you actually know where we're goin' to find Benny Boy?
GREGORY:
The Island will guide us
SAWYER:
Ok then-
SAWYER seems a bit unconvinced by GREGORY's answer
SAWYER (CONT'D):
So, how long you been here?
GREGORY:
A long time
SAWYER:
Bit short on answers, ain't we?
GREGORY shrugs his shoulders and begins to walk a bit faster so he does not have to walk with SAWYER
CUT TO:
EXT. THE JUNGLE- AFTERNOON
BEVERLEY, LUCAS and JOSEPH march through the jungle. LUCAS looks nervously at BEVERLEY.
LUCAS:
What did they say to do, Beverley?
BEVERLEY:
You know, Lucas, go back to the freighter.
LUCAS:
Yes but how, where are we going?
The camera follows BEVERLEY
BEVERLEY:
A place called "Pala Ferry" on the northern shore of the Island. That ok for you?
No reply
BEVERLEY (CONT'D):
Lucas?
Camera pans around to LUCAS. Camera goes to his perspective where a man, dressed stereotypically in a Texan fashion.
Camera shot to LUCAS' face as his eyes open wide and he shakes his head
LUCAS:
No-
JOSEPH then suddenly comes up behind LUCAS and pushes him slightly to move him along.
Camera shot back to where the man was but he isn't there anymore.
Camera shot to LUCAS as he looks extremely shocked
SMASH CUT TO:
INT. LUCAS' LIVING ROOM- NIGHT TIME (FLASHBACK)
LUCAS sits on the sofa, staring every few seconds nervously at the phone. He makes a quick grab for it and puts it up against his ear, dialling a phone number at the same time. Someone picks up- a female
FEMALE VOICE:
Hello?
LUCAS:
Mom-
LUCAS' MOTHER:
Lucas, are you ok?
There sounds surprise and urgency in LUCAS' MOTHER's voice
LUCAS:
Mom, I'm going somewhere but I don't know where. I thought it best you know that I am going
LUCAS' MOTHER:
What, Lucas? No, please no. You know he didn't want to- it is just his beliefs
LUCAS:
No, mom, you know that is not right. He thinks I am possessed by the devil or something
LUCAS' MOTHER:
Of course, he doesn't!
LUCAS:
I just thought that you should know that. Now goodbye, Mom. Oh, just so you know, there is a chance I could never come back. Just know I love you-
LUCAS slowly removes the phone from his face and places it back. Close up camera shot of his face as a tear slowly rolls down LUCAS' cheek. He quickly wipes it away and gets up out of the window of his apartment, looking out onto New York. The phone begins to ring once more but LUCAS blocks it out.
SMASH CUT TO:
EXT. THE JUNGLE- AFTERNOON
Close up camera shot of LUCAS as he slowly begins to walk once more towards where BEVERLEY is.
BEVERLEY:
What is the matter, Lucas?
There actually sounds some concern in BEVERLEY's voice
LUCAS:
No, nothing... don't worry... just gettin' a bit tired from, you know, all the heat- that's all
BEVERLEY looks at him still slightly unconvinced yet carries on walking none-the-less
LUCAS quickly looks back to where the man was stood and he is stood there once more. He winks at him. LUCAS quickly shakes his head and carries on walking, not looking back.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE JUNGLE- AFTERNOON
KATE walks up to JACK and gives him a weak smile.
KATE:
How long do you think it'll be until we are at the Barracks now?
JACK gives a slight shrug
JACK:
Going on about another day at this point. Why?
KATE:
I was just wondering. I can't get him off of my mind-
JACK:
Understandably
KATE smiles
KATE:
Yeah but what if they have done something to him, Jack?
JACK:
They won't have, you know what Sawyer is like- won't have let them
KATE:
But from what Sayid and Desmond have said, it seemed like they were prepared to do anything
JACK:
A front, Kate
KATE frowns
KATE:
I'm not sure, Jack
JACK:
I am
Camera then zooms back to DANIELLE and JULIET
JULIET:
So, you lived out here for 16 years?
JULIET sounds quite disturbed
JULIET:
And they had taken your daughter, Alex, off of you? I always thought that Alex was Ben's child
DANIELLE:
You were told to believe that though and yes, I did survive out there for 16 years
JULIET:
They didn't seem as if they knew about you
DANIELLE:
I kept myself to myself, they most probably presumed I was dead
JULIET:
We kept ourselves to ourselves also until they crashed here
DANIELLE:
The Island is a lonely place
JULIET:
Isn't it just
CUT TO:
INT. THE TEMPLE- AFTERNOON
RICHARD sits in a darkened room of the temple. It cannot be seen who is talking to. Only RICHARD can be seen by a small trickle of light coming through a small window.
RICHARD:
You know, we are so happy you have had chance to return to us and especially to be here for our rituals
MALE VOICE:
Yes, well, it was you who organised it wasn't it- really, I should be thanking you
RICHARD:
I guess I should be getting back in there now: they shall be wondering where I am
MALE VOICE:
Yes
RICHARD:
I do apologise for you being stuck in here
MALE VOICE:
I understand- do not worry, Richard
RICHARD then exits the room
CUT TO:
EXT. PALA FERRY- EVENING
BEVERLEY, LUCAS and JOSEPH slowly make their way down Pala Ferry. BEVERLEY looks eagerly for some form of transport but there is nothing there. BEVERLEY turns to JOSEPH and LUCAS angrily
BEVERLEY:
Damn!
LUCAS:
What now?
BEVERLEY doesn't answer LUCAS but instead pulls out her radio phone, quickly dialling a number into it and putting it to her ear.
GEORGE:
Bev, what is up?
BEVERLEY:
There are no boats at this Pala Ferry, George!
GEORGE:
Ok
BEVERLEY:
What shall we do?
GEORGE:
Looks like we are going to have to try and find our way to the Island on a boat ourselves, doesn't it?
There is a slight hint of annoyance in GEORGE's voice
GEORGE (CONT'D):
We will be there as soon as we can. Send a flare up into the sky so we are able to locate you. Ok?
BEVERLEY:
Yes, George
BEVERLEY puts down the radio phone and looks to JOSEPH who is already fumbling about in his backpack for a flare gun. He pulls one out.
JOSEPH:
Here we go
JOSEPH points the flare up into the sky and fires it. A large flare fires up in the sky.
The three people stare at one another as it goes up. They seem scared of not knowing what will happen to them now.
CUT TO:
EXT. FREIGHTER DECK- EVENING
A man looks out to the sky and suddenly sees the flare go up into the sky. He watches the location of it and as it goes back down he runs into a deck cabin
CUT TO:
INT. DECK CABIN- EVENING
The man runs in to another man: GEORGE
MAN:
George, I know where it is
GEORGE reaches over for a coat and puts it on
GEORGE:
Let's get going then
GEORGE and the man begin to walk out of the deck cabin
COMMERCIAL BREAK
INT.A FREIGHTER ROOM- AFTERNOON (FLASHBACK)
Close up shot of LUCAS. The camera then pans around to show ANNIE and ELENA standing in front of all the people such as LUCAS and BEVERLEY, addressing them.
ELENA:
My friends, the journey has begun
ELENA gives them a weak smile. Sadness can still be sensed from her though
ANNIE:
Remember, everything we taught you, all your precautionary measures as soon you will be on that Island and you will have to fend for yourselves.
ANNIE looks to NAOMI
ANNIE (CONT'D):
Naomi, you will be first onto the Island. Ok? We do not know exactly when we will send you at this point; however, we do know you will be first.
NAOMI nods her at ANNIE
NAOMI:
That is fine by me
ELENA:
So, when we reach the outskirts of the Island, it is only a matter of waiting and seeing what happens. Now go and settle yourselves in
Camera shot back to LUCAS as he slowly stands up from his seat and begins to walk out of the room they are being addressed in. He has a slight grin on his face.
SMASH CUT TO:
EXT. PALA FERRY- NIGHT TIME (END OF FLASHBACK)
Close up camera shot of LUCAS as he looks exasperated. The camera then zooms out to show him sitting on the edge of the docking. Behind him BEVERLEY and JOSEPH can be seen impatiently waiting for GEORGE and other rescuers to arrive. LUCAS gets up and makes a slow paced walk over to BEVERLEY and JOSEPH
LUCAS:
Well, it hasn't really gone to plan has it?
LUCAS gives a smile to BEVERLEY and JOSEPH but they do not respond positively and give a slight scowl instead
A light then illuminates them. They look to the source of the light and see a speedboat approaching them. BEVERLEY eagerly looks to see who is driving it- it is GEORGE.
BEVERLEY:
You have taken your time, have you not?
GEORGE begins to climb out of the boat
GEORGE:
Seems like there is a time difference between the outside world and the Island and we needed to find a loop to get into here
They look slightly confused by this
GEORGE (CONT'D):
That is the reason why we are late
JOSEPH gets into the speedboat as GEORGE turns to LUCAS
GEORGE (CONT'D):
You ok, Lucas?
LUCAS:
Yeah, why wouldn't I be?
LUCAS frowns slightly
GEORGE:
Just checking
LUCAS then gets into the speedboat and sits next to a woman: SYLVIA (woman from JACK's Flash Forward in "Deal")
GEORGE then turns to BEVERLEY
GEORGE (CONT'D):
You do realise they are gonna be pissed, Bev?
BEVERLEY:
Of course I do
BEVERLEY then quickly goes past GEORGE and sits in the speedboat next to JOSEPH.
GEORGE gives a slight sigh and also gets in the speedboat, quickly starting up the engine. The camera follows them as they begin to go out to sea.
CUT TO:
MONTAGE OF CLIPS PLAYED TO MUSIC
JACK and JULIET sit together, messing about with one another and flirting. Camera pans around to DESMOND and SAYID who sit together quietly, staring at the fire they have made in their make shift camp, deep in thought. Camera pans around to DANIELLE who leans against a tree, watching the group. Camera pans to KATE who sits by herself, watching JACK and JULIET together- she has a slight look of jealousy on her face along with sadness
CUT TO:
ALEX comes out of a tent on the beach and slowly makes her way over to KARL, sitting next to him and cuddling up close to him

Hello again. I must say I wasn't expecting you back so soon
BEVERLEY:
I apologise, Ms. DeGroot

ELENA:
I will speak with you in the morning. It is too late now. Good night
