Chapter Five: "Had a point but she forgot it…"

[Flashback.

[Ana sitting with her mother/the Captain in her office at the police station.

Ana: No, ma, this is Donna. I've known her for almost seventeen years. This can't be her.
Captain: I know, Ana. But this is who is she is. [Reading from a file. Donna Chang. 31. Spent three years in the state pen for robbery, has a history of offences including grand larson, petty theft and she once stole a Lexus right out of someone's driveway with no one being the wiser.
Ana: I know her.
Captain: You thought you did. Admittedly, so did I. But look what she did to you. Why knock you out unless she had something to hide?
Ana: She's not doing this because she wants to, it's because she has to.
Captain: What do you mean?
Ana: She was on the phone to someone, a guy, I think. He was telling her she had to do something. I think he's the one making her do all of this.
Captain: So what do you propose we do?
Ana: I want us to help her. Go after the guy pushing her around.
Captain: Ana-
Ana: Mom! Please. She's my best friend. This isn't who she is. I need to help her.

[The Captain takes a long look at her daughter.

Captain: Alright, Ana.

[Shot back to the beach.

[Sawyer and Andie are laughing about something. Sawyer sees something behind Andie.

Sawyer: Ah, what now?

[Andie turns and is met with a punch in the face by Ana. Sawyer jumps to his feet.

Sawyer: What the hell are you doin?!
Ana: Shut up!

[She shoves Sawyer out of the way. As Andie tries to get up, Ana kicks her back down.

Andie: What the hell is the matter with you?!

[Ana kneels on Andie, pinning her to the ground. She pulls the knife from her waistband and holds it to Ana's throat.

Ana: I know you're one of them and you're gonna say it or you're gonna die.

[Sun and Jin come out of their tent. Claire comes over with Aaron in her arms. Some redshirts gather around. Sawyer gets to his feet.

Sawyer: Get offa her!

[Sawyer goes to grab Ana but before he has the chance, Andie manages to knee Ana in the chest, forcing her to loose her grip. Then she headbutts Ana and shoves her off, getting to her feet. Sawyer is slightly taken aback, as are the other survivors.

Ana (to everyone else): See? She's one of them! Where else could she learn to fight like that?!

[Andie grabs Ana's arm and pulls her to her feet.

Andie: You're not the only one with training, Annie.

[Ana goes to tackle Andie but she grabs her arm and twists it behind her back.

Andie: I suggest you get used to that.

[The others start to wander away, all shooting Ana and Andie weird looks. Ana stares, full of hate, at Andie and walks off directly for the jungle. As she walks she hears Andie behind her.

Andie: Hey! You forgot something!

[Ana turns. Into the tree next to her plunges the knife. Andie has thrown it amazingly accurately. She walks towards Ana.

Andie: If you ever try to attack me again, I can promise you one thing.

[Andie reaches Ana. She puts her hand around the knife's handle, still in the tree. She pulls it out with ease and then hands it handle first to Ana.

Andie: Next time, I won't miss.

[Flash to black.

[Shot of Claire putting a bandage on Andie's neck at Sawyer's tent.

Claire: She just out of the blue attacked you?
Andie: She has issues with me, I dunno.
Sawyer: She asks a good question, though.
Andie: What's that?
Sawyer: Where'd you learn to fight like that? Ain't no place I heard of teaches those kinda moves.
Andie: I took some regular self defense classes and then created a few of my own attacks, there a problem with that?
Claire: I took a self-defense class once. And if they taught things like that; I may have stayed.
Andie (getting up): Yeah, well… (To Claire) Thanks.
Claire: Oh, ok.
Andie (leaving): I'll see you later.
Claire (to Sawyer): What'd I say?

[Sawyer just shrugs and looks after Andie.

[Shot to hatch. Locke is washing dishes as Jack enters.

Jack: I'm gonna head back to the beach for a couple of hours; to see how things are going.
Locke: Okay.

[Jack starts to leave.

Locke: Jack?
Jack: What?
Locke: When you told Gale about Andie, how did he react?
Jack: What do you mean?
Locke: Did he flinch? Did his eyes dart around? Did he tense up?
Jack: Not that I saw, why?
Locke: Just asking.
Jack: What do you want to say to me, John? Cos I'm getting tired of your games, what is it?
Locke: I think I believe you.
Jack: What?
Locke: I think Gale might be one of the Others.
Jack: What? This morning you bit my head of for even suggesting that he might be one of them.
Locke: I know. And I apologize.
Jack: So what's changed since then?
Locke: This.

[Locke shows Jack a bowl of uneaten food.

Jack: I'm not following you.
Locke: After you're little chat with Henry I took him some lunch. I came back an hour later and this is what was left. He didn't touch it. When a person gets nervous, certain things start to happen in their bodies. You're a doctor, you know that. Blood pressure rises, sweating increases and appetite…decreases. What you said to Henry turned him off his food. And for someone whose been trapped on this island for as long as he claims too, nothing would be cause for a switch in appetite unless it really shook him to the core.
Jack: Andie.
Locke: He's claims he was out there a week before Rousseau found him and he's been here for three days. We found Andie six days ago.
Jack: He didn't know she'd escaped.
Locke: I don't believe he did.
Jack: So what do we do?
Locke: For now, nothing. You go to the beach. I'll watch Henry and the button. Let him stew over this for awhile.

[Shot of Ana traipsing through the jungle cutting down tree branches in her way with the knife.

[Into Flashback.

[Shot of Ana in a police car with Mike parked on the side of the road. They are watching an old warehouse.

Ana: Sure this is the right place?
Mike: Three eyewitnesses have seen both Donna and an as-of-yet unidentified male coming in and out of this building all day.
Ana: This feels wrong.
Mike: Look, I don't know how you persuaded your mother to let you come but I don't think you should be here, Ana. You're too involved.
Ana: I'm fine. (She looks through binoculars) There she is.

[Shot of Donna entering the warehouse looking seemingly calm.

[Shot back to Ana looking through her binoculars. She puts them down and watches her friend. Then all of a sudden, Ana jumps out of the car.

Mike: Ana!

[Ana runs across the road, weaving between cars, and runs into the warehouse. Mike is right behind her, calling for back up as he does.

[Shot of Ana entering the warehouse. She hears voices and runs toward them. She smashes through a door, gun at the ready, and into a room where Donna and a heavy set Italian man are standing.

Ana: Freeze!

[Both Donna and the man raise their hands.

Donna: This is a bad idea, Ana.
Man: So, this is Ana? Pleasure to finally meet you, my dear.
Ana: Who the hell are you?
Man: I am Ramone Dragonni.
Donna: He works for me.
Ana: What?
Donna: Yeah, not anymore.

[Donna grabs a gun from her waistband and shoots Ramone in the head.

Ana: Put the gun down, Donna!
Donna: What are you doing, Ana? Are you here to save me?
Ana: Shut up and put the weapon down!
Donna: Did you think someone was pulling my strings? Ramone? No, no, no. He wasn't smart enough to do this on his own.

[Ana looks bewildered.

Ana: Why?
Donna: Why not? You see, Ana, sometimes life just doesn't turn out the way you wanted it to. So you gotta change it. Pick your own destiny.

[Donna raises the gun to her temple.

Ana: Donna, don't!
Donna: See you round, Ana.
Ana: Stop!

[Donna fires the gun.

Ana: No!

[Shot back to Ana in the jungle standing on her own. She looks at her knife for a few moments before screaming and throwing it into the jungle. Then she starts grabs a log off the ground and starts pounding the trees around her with it. She keeps hitting and hitting in anger and frustration until she exhausts herself and collapses, gasping for air, against a tree trunk.

[Shot of Andie folding clothes at her tent. Kate comes over

Kate: Hey. Sawyer said you had some kinda fight with Ana-Lucia?
Andie: He did, did he?
Kate: You okay?
Andie: Yeah, I'm fine. Why?
Kate: Oh, nothing. It's just that, you now, she's a cop so she's kinda...
Andie: Bad ass?
Kate: I guess so.
Andie: Yeah, well, I'm fine. Maybe you should go talk to her.
Kate: Nah, she's not exactly personable. Hey, I was about to head to the hatch to see Jack. You wanna come?
Andie: Oh, no thanks. Between you and me; that place is a little weird.

[Shot of Locke at the hatch inputting the numbers.

[Shot of Ana sitting alone in the jungle. Jack enters.

Jack: Ana? What are you doing out here?
Ana: Nothing.
Jack: I can see that.

[He comes over to her and sees her injuries from her scuffle with Andie.

Jack: What happened to you?
Ana: I fell.
Jack: On someone's fist?
Ana: I'm fine.
Jack: Sure.

[Jack tries to look casual.

Jack: Listen, I was gonna take a walk. Wanna come? Could use the company.

[Ana looks about to say no, but instead:

Ana: Okay.
Jack: Okay.

[Jack gets up and offers Ana his hand. She hesitates for a moment before taking it and letting him help her to her feet. They walk off together.

[Shot of Kate who has see them and is watching them leave.
