"And now, dancing on stage three, the pride of St. Paul, Corvette!" "No!" "That's the money for the orphanage!" "That means, Mr. LaShade, you're The Cobra." "Sorry, baby." "It's just business." " All this time, it was you." " Pretty and smart." "What a shame." "Razzle Dazzle!" "Autumn, Crystal, bad news." "Corvette was working for the Cobra." "But fear not, he will pay." "And, cut!" " Check the gate." " Checking." " Let me give you a hand." " Thank you." "Billy Dee, it was so great working with you." "The pleasure was all mine." " You're sweet." " Take care." "You too." "All right, that's a series wrap for Corvette!" " Let's hear it for Nikki!" " Well done, lass." " Well done, Nikki." " Thank you." " On ya, Nikki!" " Thanks." "Brilliant, Nikki, as always." "You know, you don't need to die." " We can bring you back next season." " How?" "Well, we could say that Corvette was wearing a bulletproof vest." "Bulletproof breast?" "Look, I'm just a guest star." "We all know what happens to guest stars." "Now that your work's done here," "I suppose you'll be leaving Sydney and heading back to L.A.?" "No, I'm not leaving Sydney." "I love you." "I love you, too." "Son of a bitch!" "All right, come on, let's go, one more." " You said best out of five." " Well, now we're going best of seven." "Are you OK?" " What happened?" " Pa..." "lyz..." " What'd the hell she say?" " I don't know." "Let's get her some water!" "Get help!" "What are you doing?" "Get moving!" "Dude Nikki's dead." "Who the hell's Nikki?" "Howie, the frittata is amazing." "It's my new chef." "He's fantastic." " Paulo, come in here." " Yes, sir?" "Paulo, my boy, you have a new fan." " I'd like you to meet Nikki." " The food is amazing." "You're too kind." "The secret is the shaved truffles." " Luckily for you they're in season." " You know, you should ask for a raise." "Excuse me." "He just came to Sydney." "Heard I was hiring and showed up at my office every day until I gave him the job." "Apparently, back home," " he's the Wolfgang Puck of Brazil." " Wow." "Here." "Try one of these homemade rolls." "Please." "Please, do." "Oh, it's beautiful." "Howie, you shouldn't have." "I realize, of course, it's not a ring." "Not yet." "But when my wife..." "Paulo." "Paulo!" "He is gone." "I would have loved if you could have figured out a way where I didn't have to eat the same food as him." "Nobody else knows about this thing?" "Everything in here is way off the books." " What?" " Ashes are evidence, Paulo." "We poisoned him." "Let's not poison ourselves." "Razzle frickin' dazzle." " What happened?" " We don't know." "She's got no gunshot wound, knife wound, no polar bear bite, nothing." " Maybe it was something she ate." " Maybe she was poisoned." "We should check the food to see if anyone else is sick." "She's got gunk under her fingernails." " Where did you find her?" " Right here." "She stumbled out of the jungle, face planted, said something like "plywood", and then, sayonara." "Actually, I think she said "power lines"." "Who the hell knows what she said?" "She was five seconds from dying." " Seeing light at the end of the tunnel." " "Paulo lies."" "That's what she said, not "power lines"." ""Paulo lies."" " Who the hell's Paulo?" " Paulo's her... husband." "Or her boyfriend." "Or whatever." " They live down the beach." " Where the hell is he?" "'Cause if he lies, that might be a good place to start." ""English expat Howard L. Zuckerman, the creative force behind such hit shows as Exposé, Strike Team Alpha, and Dr. Kincaid, Esquire, was found dead in his palatial Sydney estate from heart failure."" "Are you chewing gum?" "Nicotine gum." "I quit." "A toast." "To our new life together." "Cheers." "There's nowhere to sit." "No tables, no chairs, nothing." "Good call, Boone." " You want a chair from the restaurant?" " Forget it." "Let's leave." "You screwed up seats in first class." "Why would you be able to find them here?" " Can I have this chair, please?" " Yeah." " Be my guest." " Boone, let's just go!" " Thanks, anyway." " Boone!" "I'm coming, Shannon." "If you quit flirting with random guys maybe we could get on the plane." "Promise me we'll never end up like them." "I promise." "Paging Captain Stewart, please pick up a courtesy call." "Captain Stewart." "Boone!" "Boone!" "Boone!" "Please!" "I need help!" "Help me!" "Hey, hey!" "Get away from there!" "Hey, get back!" "Get down!" "Get away from there!" "Paulo!" "Are we alive?" "Did we survive?" "Look at me." "Am I OK?" "Am I OK?" "Hey, do you have a pen?" " Do you have a pen?" " A pen?" "Hey, does anybody have a pen?" "Paulo?" "Paulo!" " Are you OK?" " Yeah." " I think so." " Baby, look at me." "Look at me." " Where's the bag?" " What?" "The bag!" "Paulo, where is it?" "I'm telling you, this is the trail." " What do you know about tracking?" " I know what a footprint is." "Over here." "Whoa." "I'm guessing that's Paulo." "He's just like Nikki." "No wound, nothing." "Yeah, I know." "Why are his pants undone?" " And why is his shoe in that tree?" " Maybe he stepped on something." "You see something?" "Sawyer?" "Nothing." "No!" "Don't." "Dude, what are you doing?" "You ever think they might have been poisoned?" "That's evidence." "You're messing up the crime scene." ""Crime scene?"" " Is there a forensics hatch?" " Stop!" "Monster." "How many times do I have to tell you, there's no such thing as monsters." "Maybe it was a dinosaur." "It's not Jurassic Park, Paulo." "It's the South Pacific." "Then what was it?" "You saw the trees move." "Would you start focusing?" "We've been here for six days." "The Coast Guard will be here any second." "And I don't think they're gonna take, "I'm looking for my script bag"" "as an excuse for not getting on the rescue boat." "Hey!" "Did you guys lose your luggage?" "Yeah, I lost mine, too." "I found some other stuff, though." "So if you need anything..." "pants, or a sweatshirt I can help you find some that fit." "I'm Ethan, by the way." "Hi, I'm Nikki and this is Paulo." " Hi." " And you're so sweet, Ethan." "But, actually, we're not looking for clothes." "Yeah, see, Paulo here lost his nicotine gum." " You might have luck looking inland." " In the jungle?" "The plane split apart over the island, so some of the stuff might have rained down in there." "Boone!" "Boone took the water." " No one would have understood." " What is going on?" "Someone had to take responsibility." "40 would have never lasted!" "Leave him alone!" "It's been six days." "We're all still waiting for someone to come." "We have to stop waiting." "We need to start figuring things out." "Now, I found water, fresh water, up in the valley." "I'll take in a group at first light." "If you don't want to come, then find another way to contribute." "Because every man for himself is not gonna work." "But if we can't live together," "we're gonna die alone." "I'm with Jin." "It's the monster." " Because that makes the most sense." " It does." "Locke said when Eko died, his last words were "you're next"." "And Nikki and Paulo were with them." "He was talking about them." "He wasn't saying "you're next" about them." "He was sayin' "you're next" as in, you're all next." "Yeah, that's not really better." "All right." "So here's how I see it." "We want to know what happened, we gotta find out whatever we can about these jabonies." " "Jabonies?"" " Nina and Pablo." "Dude, show some respect." "You know their names." "It's Nikki and Paulo." "Whatever, Hugo." "Where's their tent?" "And we better get some shovels." "Hey, Dr. Arzt." "Hi." "You're a scientist, right?" "And an educator, yes." "What are you doing with all this stuff?" "Since we got here I discovered 20 new species." "I'll be the next Charles Darwin." "That is Latrodectus regina." "Very dangerous." "They call her the Medusa spider." "Her pheromones are very strong." "One whiff and every male of the species would be here in seconds." "Not unlike you, I guess." "So, you're probably too busy to help me, then?" "No, no, not at all." "I'm fine." "I can help." "What can I do you for?" "Well, I'm trying to find my luggage, and since the plane broke apart over the jungle," "I was wondering if you knew about trajectories and stuff?" "Do I know about trajectories?" "Allow me to draw you a map, Madame." "Are you sure we should listen to a high school teacher?" "Junior high, and yes." "What's your problem with Leslie, anyway?" " Leslie?" " You're jealous." "Of him?" "Never." "Yeah, his spiders turn me on so much I had to sleep with him to get the map." "I wouldn't be surprised." "You slept with Zuckerman." "I did that for us." "OK." "I'm sorry, I just..." "I don't trust that guy." "We should have gone to Ethan." "He would have helped." "Paulo, look." "Another plane." " It's been here awhile." " Go up there." " Maybe there's a radio." " Are you insane?" "If I go up there that thing's gonna fall." " You're not gonna fall." " What?" "You want me to die?" "Come on." "Let's keep going." "What is that?" "OK, let's do it." " Let's check it out." " Whoa." "So, our carry-on bag fell from the sky, opened a manhole, crawled inside and closed the doors behind itself?" "You don't want to climb up to a plane, but now you want to climb down a ladder into a dark tunnel." "I don't think so." "Hey, man, be careful." "Why?" "They don't live here anymore." "So, Sun checked the food." "They're eating the same as us and no one else is sick." " Could be a virus." " Dude." "Monster." "Creepy." "They collected bugs?" "I think these were Arzt's." "He collected all kinds of creepy crawlies before he exploded." "They must have been friends." ""Exposé."" " Did you just say Exposé?" " Yeah." "What the hell is Exposé?" "Only the most awesome hour of television ever." "It's like Baywatch, only better." "It's about Autumn and Crystal, two strippers that solve crimes with the help of their suave, smooth-talking club owner, Mr. LaShade." " How'd I miss that?" " Check it out." "Look at the cast list." "Nikki Fernandez." "That's gotta be why she was in Australia." " This must have been her big break." " Certainly sounds like it." "No way." "Mr. LaShade was The Cobra?" "Is that supposed to mean something?" "Dude, the Cobra's this big bad guy." "His identity's been shrouded in mystery for four seasons." "They had a walkie-talkie?" "Every one of those bastards on the other side of the island had one like this hanging from their belts." "So how did Nikki and Paulo get one?" "I'll tell you how." "They were working with The Others." " What gives you the right?" " We thought it was best for everybody." "Are you my mother?" "She knows what's best for me." " Other than that, I decide." " What's going on?" "Kate and her two boyfriends found a case of guns from the plane." "They decided not to tell the camp." "The case is locked." "The key is around Jack's neck." "I promise they're safe." "You're all out of control." "The pigs are walking." "The pigs are walking!" "So, where did you say you found that case?" "It's just water, Paulo." " Stop being such a wuss and dive in." " Why me?" "Well, as you had no trouble reminding me," "I slept with Howie Zuckerman." "The least you could do is go for a swim." "They found the case on the bottom." " Let me ask you something." " What?" "If you didn't need me to find that bag would we still be together?" "That bag is worth eight million dollars." "Just dive in, Paulo." "Well?" " Nothing." " There's nothing down there?" "Just dead bodies." "OK, so they had a walkie-talkie." "You think they were working with The Others?" "How?" "Like Michael." "If that's the case, then why did they kill Nikki and Paulo?" "Who knows why those people do anything?" "What matters is, they could be out there now, waiting to get us." "I don't know, dude." "I was with The Others two weeks ago." "They're on the other side of the island." "Then who dragged me into the jungle?" "The Others came into our camp." "They grabbed me, put a bag over my head." "And if I hadn't gotten away, they would have killed me." "Look, y'all stay here." "Let me see if I can see any sign of them." " I'll do a perimeter sweep." " Where'd you get the gun?" " Got it off one of them." " When were you gonna let us know?" "I guess right now." "What, exactly, is a perimeter sweep?" "Shouldn't we cover them up?" "Yes, of course." "Nice night." " What are you doing?" " Nothing." "It looks like you're digging a hole." "Every man's entitled to his secrets, but can I give you a piece of advice?" "Please, John." "Put the shovel away and save yourself trouble." "Why is that?" "Things don't stay buried on this island." "The beach is eroding." "Winter's coming." "High tide." "Whatever it is you're hiding, pick a spot that won't wash away." "See you back at camp." "Who left this open?" "Tom was down here a couple of days ago." "Have him cover it up with a plank." "Is that him?" "Shephard?" "Yes." "He's cute." "Why are we doing this?" "Shephard will never agree to do the surgery." " No, I can convince him to do it." " How?" "The same way I get anybody to do anything." "I find out what he's emotionally invested in, and I exploit it." "So, what?" "So, we just grab all three of them?" "Ford and Austen too?" " No." "They need to come to us." " How do we make that happen?" "Michael, of course." "Are we done here?" "This place gives me the creeps." "Hey, Desmond." "You hear about Nikki and Paulo?" "Aye." "Tragic." "So, do you know anything?" " How do you mean?" " Can you..." " ...you know, use your psychic powers?" " It doesn't work like that." " I only see flashes." " No offence, dude, but as far as superpowers go, yours is kind of lame." "Thanks, anyway." "I do know she was with your mate this morning." "My mate?" "I saw her with your boy Sawyer." "The dead girl, Nikki." "He said he didn't know her." "Then why was she yelling at him?" "Yelling?" " Aye." " At Sawyer?" "This morning?" "Right before she died." "Vincent, dude!" "He saw Sawyer and Nikki fighting." "That doesn't prove anything." "Look at the facts and ask yourself, why is Sawyer gung-ho about investigating this?" "What's in it for him?" "He pretended he didn't know their names." " Then he was fighting with Nikki." " Sawyer's not a murderer." "He went all the way across the island to help Michael." "It is The Others." "I know what they can do." "OK, you know what?" "I'll go get Desmond." "He'll tell you exactly what he saw." "Sun?" "It was me." "What?" "It was me who took you." "Not The Others." "I wasn't myself, after Locke hit me." "After he humiliated me." "Sawyer told me I could get even by helping steal the guns." "We just made it look like The Others." "I didn't mean to hurt you." "I'm sorry." "Everybody, we're heading to the Pearl Station." "There's a computer that might help us." "Anybody want to come?" " I'll go." " Great." " What?" " Anybody else want to come?" "Meet us at the tree line in ten minutes and bring water." " You're not serious?" " What?" "You always whine about not being included." "Now's our chance." "Hey, guys?" "What are these other TVs for?" "Sorry?" "All these TVs." "This guy says that there are six stations." "Wait, here, check it out." "Hi, I'm Dr. Mark Wickmund." "There's a monitoring station where the activities of participants in Dharma in our initiative projects can be observed and recorded." ""Projects." More than one." "Maybe some of these TVs are connected to other hatches." "I'm certainly feeling very stupid." "Perhaps I could patch in one of the other feeds, see if we can get another picture." "The toilet still works." " Gimme the gun." " What the hell are you talking about?" "Give it to me." "It ain't even loaded." "Then how are you "sweeping the perimeter"?" "Quit lying, dude." "Desmond saw you fighting with Nikki this morning." "Oh, I see what this is." "Villagers got themselves some torches." " Did you kill them?" " No." "No, I didn't kill them." "Yeah, me and Nikki went at it this morning," " because she wanted a gun." " Why didn't you tell us this before?" "Because of the dirt under her nails." " What?" " She was digging." "And when we found him, I saw a fresh mound of dirt." "She was burying something." "And if you take the time to dig a hole right before you die, then what you're hiding's probably pretty damn good." "So what was it?" "What did she hide?" "Go ahead, take 'em." "Because whatever happened to those two, I had nothing to do with it." "Did you know Thanksgiving was two weeks ago?" "We missed it, Paulo." "Just like we're gonna miss everything." "They're going to find us." "We'll get rescued." "You'll see." "OK, where did this sudden burst of optimism come from?" "I don't know." "I guess it's how you look at things." "Like the bag." "I mean, maybe not finding it was good for us." " How do you figure that?" " Look what it did." "It might've torn us apart." "Yeah." "Wait here." " I'm gonna get us some breakfast." " OK." "OK, I know you have them." " Give me a gun!" " I don't have the guns." " The A-Team took 'em all." " Right." "Except for the ones you kept for yourself." "Even if I had a gun, I wouldn't give it to you." "Judging by the fire you're breathin'," "I got a feelin' no good would come of it." " Sawyer, give me a gun." " I got a better idea, sister." "How about you go stick your head in the ocean and cool yourself off." "Thanks for nothing." "And who the hell are you?" "Thanks for nothing." "Charlie told me it was your idea to kidnap me." " You gonna tell Jin?" " No." "Why not?" "Because then we'd have to dig another grave." " Why are you giving me these?" " Because they're worthless here." "And I thought I was gonna get out of this without a lecture..." "Nikki and Paulo..." "I guess we didn't really know you very well." "And it appears you killed each other for diamonds." "But I know there were good parts to you, too." "You were always nice to me." "And you were a member of the camp." "And..." "I really loved Exposé." "OK, then." " Good-bye." " Wait." "Rest in peace, Nikki and Paulo." " Come on, Nikki." "Just tell me." " It's a surprise." "We're almost there." "OK, ready?" " Yeah." " I found the diamonds, Paulo." "What?" "Where?" "Right here." "Give them to me." " What are you talking about?" " What am I talking about?" "What's this?" "Your nicotine gum?" "You wanted to stop looking for the bag because you'd already found it!" "I know you have them." "Where are they?" "Calm down, OK?" "What the hell is that?" " Are you out of your mind?" " You remember Dr. Arzt's friend?" "Did it bite you?" "Does it hurt?" "He told me why they call it the Medusa spider." "Wanna know why?" "What did you do?" "Because one look from Medusa would turn anyone to stone." "Just like one bite from this spider will paralyze you." "For about eight hours." "It won't kill you." "It'll just slow your heart rate down to the point where even a doctor would have a hard time hearing it beat." "You won't be able to move a muscle, so I'll be able to do all sorts of nasty things to you." "And since it bit you on your neck, I'd say paralysis will happen fast." "I'm guessing that you have the diamonds on you." "In a shoe, maybe?" "I think I know where." "Son of a bitch." " I'm sorry." " You're only sorry you got caught." "I was afraid of losing you." "If you found the diamonds, you wouldn't need me anymore." "Damn it!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "You OK?" " Hey!" "Hey, what happened?" " Paralyzed."
