Chapter Six: "What's done is done…"

[An unmarked truck pulls up to a regular suburban home. Shot of a person's legs as they get out of the truck. They are wearing heavy boots and leather pants. The camera follows them as they walk up the path towards the house and travels up their body. As the person reaches the front stoop, the camera reveals her face. It's Andie. She knocks on the door. A man, Sidney Pike, answers.

Sidney: Yes?

Andie: Sidney Pike?

Sidney: Yes.

[Andie pulls out a gun and shoots Sidney in the head.

[Flash to nighttime on the island, Andie wakes up with a start. Claire, holding Aaron, was coming towards her and stops suddenly as Andie wakes.

Claire: Sorry. You alright?

Andie (sitting up):Yeah, fine. What are you doing up so late?

Claire: Trying to get Aaron to sleep. You wouldn't know how to—

Andie: No, no. I'm not so good with kids.

[Claire nods. Andie is about to say something when-

Woman's Voice: Andie! Andie!

Andie: Did you hear that?

Claire (hearing nothing): What?

Andie: That woman.


Claire: What?

[Andie gets to her feet.

Claire: Andie, what-

Woman: Andie!

Andie: There! Did you hear her?

[Without waiting for an answer, Andie takes off for the jungle.

Claire: Hear who? Andie!

[Claire watches her go, puzzled. Sawyer, Sun and Jin come over.

Sawyer: What's goin' on?

Claire (nodding in Andie's direction): She just took off.

[Shot of Andie running into the dark jungle. She stops and looks around frantically.

Voice: Andie.

[Andie turns and sees Cindy wearing her flight attendants uniform, although its completely ripped and dirty, standing in the dark alone.

Andie: Cindy? What are you doing out here?

Cindy: They know, Andie. They know what you've done.

Andie: What? The others said that They took you, how did you-

Cindy: Why are you lying, Andie?

Andie: What?

Cindy: You're not who they think you are.

Andie: Cindy, where-

Cindy: You're not good, Andie. You're bad. That's why they took you. You're bad.

Andie: What? No, I'm-

Cindy (screaming):You're BAD!

Andie: NO!

Sawyer (entering): Andie?!

[Andie turns to look at Sawyer, then turns back to see Cindy is gone.

Sawyer: What're you doin' out here?

[Andie doesn't respond, she keeps looking for Cindy.

Sawyer: Andie? (grabbing her shoulders and forcing her to stop) Andie!

[She looks at him confused.

Sawyer: What's goin' on?

Andie: I…I'm not sure.

[Morning.

[Shot of Andie hanging out laundry to dry. Claire comes over with two cups.

Claire: Hey.

Andie: Hi. Where's the little one?

Claire: Sleeping. Sun's watching him for me. (offering her a cup) Tea? We got milk from that air drop so it actually looks like tea now.

Andie (taking the cup): Thanks.

[Claire kinda of dawdles nearby.

Andie: There something else you want?

Claire: Ah…who…whose Cindy?

Andie: What?
Claire: After Sawyer brought you back from the jungle and you went to sleep, you said kept saying Cindy over and over. Who is she?

Andie: She was a flight attendant on the plane. (Pause) And she was my friend.

Claire: She was in the tail section of the plane?

Andie: Apparently so. Sawyer said when he was with Ana Lucia and the others on the other side of the island, she was taken.

[Claire nods, unsure of how to proceed. Then:

Claire: They, um, they took me too. Before I had the baby.

Andie: How'd you get away?

Claire: There was this girl-

[Andie stops what she's doing and interrupts.

Andie: Teenager? Long, dark hair?

Claire: Yeah.

Andie: She helped me, too.

Claire: Do you remember what happened to you? When you were with them?

Andie: Bits and pieces. They didn't really let me out of my room.

Claire: Who do you think they are?

Andie: Crazy people doing crazy things. Who knows?

Clare: Before I was taken, I had these nightmares. They were so real I swore they were happening.

Andie: It wasn't a nightmare, Claire.

Claire (carefully) Right, but…Sawyer said he didn't see anyone. And if Cindy was out there, why would she run away from you?

[Close up of Andie's face leads into Flashback.

[Shot of Andie sitting in a café with a man, Danny Stevens.

Danny: Nice job, Andie. Sidney Pike was meant to be taken care of months ago and you took him out in your first week with me.

Andie: Well, you taught me well.

Danny: I see that.

Andie: So does that mean I'm off probation?

Danny: Well, I'd sure like you to be. Lord knows I need someone as illusive as you on my team, but standard rule is you gotta take out two hits before you're taken on full time.

Andie: So give me another.

Danny: Bloodlust is a key component in this career, Andie. But there's a fine line between doing what we do and killing for the hell of it. Watch yourself.

Andie: Yeah, well, I'm fine. Give me another case, Danny.

Danny: Ok, if you say so.

[Danny takes out a file and hands it to Andie.

Danny: Joseph Messer. Lives just out of Sydney.

Andie: What'd he do?

Danny: Gambling debt. The idiot put his house up as collateral and won't hand over the deed to his bookie. That's where you come in. They've given him a month. They want payment.

Andie: Just tell me where he is.

[Back to the island.

[Shot of Kate gathering fruit and Sawyer with her, but not helping.

Kate: You think she's seeing things?

Sawyer: Maybe. Wouldn't be the first time. We saw that big ass horse, the Doc saw his Daddy and Walt seems to be poppin' up everywhere. Even Stay-Puff saw his bald-headed little friend a few days ago.

Kate: But you said Cindy was taken by the Others.

Sawyer: She was. So were Walt and Claire and even you, Freckles.

Kate: Andie went through some serious trauma after the crash. Being on her own on this island then getting captured and kept alone in a room is definitely gonna screw with your mind. Plus Cindy and Andie were friends, right? She's probably just worried about her.

Sawyer: Yeah…

Kate: Do you actually…care?

Sawyer: What's that?

Kate: When other people have been in danger you were never this concerned.

Sawyer: I ain't concerned, Freckles. If she's out there screaming for some ghost every night, how's a man supposed to sleep?

Kate: Right. (Pause) Y'know, its okay to care about what happens to someone, Sawyer. It won't make you a bad person.

Sawyer (exiting):Whatever. I'm heading out.

[Shot of the clear sky of day turning into night.

[Shot of Andie sleeping in her tent.

Cindy (in a whisper):Andie! Andie!

[Andie wakes up.

Andie: What are you doing here?

Cindy: Why don't you tell them the truth, Andie? They need to know.

Andie: What?

Cindy: They need to know why they took you.

Andie: I don't even know why they took me.

Cindy: Because you're bad, Andie. That's why they took me.

Andie: You're not a bad person.

Cindy: But you are. And you're the reason they took me. You're the reason I'm bad. And you have to tell them. Or they will come BACK!

Sawyer (os) Andie?!

[Andie wakes up to Sawyer shaking her.

Sawyer: You alright?

Andie: What...?

Sawyer: You were calling out.

Andie: I-I…

Sawyer: It's okay.

[He gives her a somewhat awkward hug. As she's hugging Sawyer, Andie sees Cindy over his shoulder. She points to Sawyer.

Cindy: He's bad, too.

[Andie awakes again. Another dream. She's alone in her tent breathing heavily. She looks around. Everyone else is sleeping. She can see Sawyer asleep in the plane chair outside his tent. She looks furtively around, thoroughly freaked.
