"I've lived with it for four years." "We'll get you on a plane back to Sydney on our dime." "No, I don't wanna go back to Sydney." "You don't know who you're dealing with!" "Don't ever tell me what I can't do -- ever!" "This is destiny." "This is my destiny." "This is " " I'm supposed to do this, damn it!" "How do you open a hatch that has no handle, no latch, and no discernible way of opening it?" "What's that?" "A game." "It's my favorite game, actually." "I used to play it with my brother." "It's called Mouse Trap." "How do you play?" "Well, you start with all these parts off the board." "And then, one by one, you build the trap." "Shoe, bucket, tub -- piece by piece, it all comes together." "And then you wait till your opponent lands here on the old cheese wheel, and then if you've set it up just right, you spring the trap." "Go ahead, kiddo." "May I help you, ma'am?" "Yes, um, could you tell me where the footballs are?" "Yeah, aisle eight for regulation, aisle 15 for nerf." "Oh, yes, thank you." "Thanks." "You want my opinion, there's no way to open this hatch." "Boone, you gotta have some faith." "All we've gotta do is break the glass, and then we're in." "The trebuchet delivers half a ton of force." "Why do they call it a trebuchet?" "It looks like a catapult." "It's called a trebuchet, Boone, because it's a trebuchet." "I don't get you, man." "One minute you're quoting Nietzsche, now all of a sudden you're an engineer." "I don't think I can spell trebuchet." "There's a "t" on the end." "I'm serious, John." "We've been coming out here every day for two weeks, and you never talk about yourself." "Everybody's got a story." "My story would bore you." "Three, two, one." "This was supposed to work!" "This was supposed to work!" "John!" "Your leg, man." "You okay?" "Yeah." "I'm fine." "Your trebuchet -- why didn't it work?" "It didn't work because it wasn't strong enough." "I don't think that glass is gonna break, man." "Everything breaks if you apply the right force." "So, we're just gonna build another one of your inventions, and hope it works this time?" "That's right." "What if it doesn't?" "Then the island will tell us what to do." "What's that?" "We should get back there." "Salvage those pieces." "Your leg okay?" "It's fine." "Hi, John." "You all right, man?" "Hey!" "Hey." "Hey, hey." " Why are you following me?" " I'm sorry." " Who are you?" " I'm your mother." "Look, ms., Uh, I don't know why you think I'm your son, or how you found me, but " "You're adopted, aren't you?" "No." "No, I was raised in a foster home -- well, several foster homes, actually." "Look, I don't mean to be rude." "What do you want from me?" "I wanna tell you that you're special -- very special." "You were part of a design." "You do realize that, don't you?" "That our meeting -- me finding you -- this is a sign of things to come " "great things." "My father... is he still alive?" "Still alive?" "Oh, John, don't you understand?" "You don't have a father." "You were immaculately conceived." "Which one?" "That one." "You're sure?" "Because this is the one I've been using, and nothing's happening." "I'm sorry it's not helping." "What's not helping?" "Nothing." "Thanks anyway." "Nice garden." "What was that all about?" "He has headaches." "Doesn't the guy have, like, a truckload of aspirin stashed away somewhere?" "He says aspirin didn't help." "Can I ask you a question?" "Say you're having bad headaches every day " " Are you okay?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "So, who are we talking about, then, Kate?" " Sawyer." " Uh-huh." "I just think there might be something really wrong with him." "And what does he think?" " He says he's fine, but " " Then he's fine." "Well, he could be playing it down." "There could be something " "Look, Kate, I'd love nothing more than to check the guy out and make sure he's okay." "But we both know all I'm gonna get for my trouble is a snappy one-liner, and if I'm real lucky, a brand-new nickname." "I'm just over it." "You're late." "Late for what?" "Late for work." "I think I'm done working, John." "I'm sorry, what?" "This is useless." "You can't open that thing up." "You say you can, but you can't." "Don't tell me what I can't do." "Don't you get it?" "It's a dead end." "You're not getting in." "That's impossible." "We didn't find this by accident." " We're supposed " " Oh, we're supposed to." "We're supposed to find this, right?" "We're supposed to open it, right?" "Then tell me something, John." "If we're supposed to open it, then why the hell haven't we opened it yet?" "The island will send us a sign." ""The island will send us a sign."" "All that's happening now is our faith is being tested -- our commitment." "But we will open it." "The island will show us how." "What kind of sign will the island send us?" "Huh, John?" "Did you see that?" "Boone." "Theresa falls up the stairs." "Theresa falls down the stairs." "Theresa falls up the stairs." "Theresa falls down the stairs." "Theresa falls up the stairs." "Theresa falls down the stairs." "Theresa falls up the stairs." "Don't take it back!" "Boone." "Wake up." " Hmm?" " Shh." " What time is it?" " It's morning, come on." "Okay, okay, I'm up." "I'm up." "I'm up." "What's going on?" "Come on, let's go." "Emily Annabeth Locke in 10,000 words or less." "So, she's my mother." "I lifted some hairs from her car, and matched them with your DNA samples." "It's 99% certain." "She was institutionalized a few times." "What for?" "Nothing criminal or violent." "It's a type of schizophrenia." "Apparently, if she stays on her meds, she's okay." "What about my father?" "Here's the thing." "Your mother sought you out, so she's fair game, but this guy -- maybe he doesn't even know you exist." "I've done this enough times to know this stuff isn't meant to be, even though it may feel that way." "But this probably won't have a happy ending." "So, do you want it or not?" "I want it." " Your name is?" " John." "John Locke." "I'm Mr. Cooper's son." "Mr. Cooper doesn't have a son." "Tell him I don't want anything." "My mother is Emily Locke." "Please?" "Just a minute." "Yeah, Mr. Cooper, I got John Locke here." "Says he's your son." "Yes, sir." "Well, you can go on in, sir." "Well, this is awkward." "Thank you for seeing me, sir." "I'm, uh, John." "Something tells me I'm gonna want a drink for this." " You want a drink?" " Yeah, all right." "Great." " Scotch okay?" " Yeah, that's -- thanks." " So, who found who?" " I'm sorry, sir?" "Emily -- your mother." "Did she find you, or did you find her?" "She found me." "How did she look?" "All right, I guess." "She say anything about me?" "She said I didn't have a father -- that I was immaculately conceived." "Ha ha ha ha." "Really?" "Ha ha ha ha." "Well, I guess that makes me God, huh?" "I didn't even know you existed until a yearafter you were born." "She told me she wasn't even gonna have the baby -- you -- at all." "Then she drops off the face of the planet." "When she turns up again, she's asking me for money, telling me she put you up for adoption." "You gonna drink that or what?" "You have a family of your own?" "No, sir." "Me neither." "I tried it a couple times." "It didn't take." " Do you hunt?" " No, no." "You're not one of those animal rights nut jobs, are ya?" "No." "No, sir." "What are you doing this sunday?" "Nothing." "You wanna go hunting?" "Well, uh, yeah, well, I'd like that." "Yeah, I'd like that very much." "I had a dream last night." "I asked for a sign." "And then I saw a plane crash -- a beach craft out there." "It was a dream, but it was the most real thing I've ever experienced." "I know where to go now." "Go for what?" "To find what we need to open this bastard up." "Have you been using that wacky paste stuff that made me see my sister get eaten?" "No, Boone, no." "'Cause, John, I gotta tell ya, signs and dreams and " "Who's Theresa?" "What?" ""Theresa falls up the stairs." "Theresa falls down the stairs."" "You were saying that in the dream." "How did you know about that?" "I don't know, Boone, but we're supposed to go to this place." "We're supposed to find that plane." "Will you come with me?" "I was gonna ask you how this was going, but it's coming together fast." "The fire wasn't a total loss." "We learned a few things from building the first one, which is saving us from trial and error." "Now it's just... trial." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." "Yeah, man, I know." "Now, now, now." "Picking up on a little korean there, Michael?" "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I know how to say "faster" and "idiot."" "I hear you're having trouble with your head." "What, now she's got you making house calls?" "Sensitive to the light, too, huh?" "You know what?" "I'm sensitive to you " "All right." "We'll see ya." "Doc, sensitivity to light -- that bad?" "Depends." "On what?" "On what's causing your headaches." "It's not like it's a tumor or something." "What makes you think it's a tumor?" " I don't." " Great." "Okay, then." "My uncle." "He, uh, died of a brain tumor." "Yeah?" "That run in the family -- tumors?" "What type of tumor was it?" "The type that kills ya." "You smell anything funny?" "Brain tumors bring on phantom smells -- maybe like something burning." "Just headaches." "Well, I'm sure you're fine, then." "Look, if this is worrying you, there's a couple of tests that I could do " "Sorry, doc." "Sounds fun, but my insurance ran out." "Insurance ran out." "That's a good one." "I could have mentioned her name out by the hatch one day." " Who?" " Theresa." "Maybe I was talking to myself." "Maybe." "But you didn't." "So in this dream, you saw a plane crash, right?" "Yeah." "Okay, the fact that we were all just in a plane crash -- you didn't think for one sec" "John, you okay?" "I'm fine." "What is wrong with your leg?" "I'm fine." "What?" "Someone from camp hiked all the way out here?" "Nope." "Where do you think it came from?" "Him." " Morning, Eddie." " Morning, Mr. Locke." "You gentlemen gonna get some birds today?" "I sure hope so." "Anthony?" "You weren't supposed to be here till 12:00." "I thought you said 11:00." "What is this?" "It's a dialysis machine." "My kidney's failing." "Damn doctors say I need a transplant." "When?" "Tomorrow, if it were up to me." "I'm on the donor list." "But I'm an old man, and it's a long list." "How long " "John, the dialysis will be fine for a while." "I didn't tell you for this exact reason." "I'm not gonna let this spoil what's gonna be a fantastic day, and neither should you." "So, I'll get done here, and we'll have a nice lunch and go shoot some birds." "He was a priest." "How long do you think he's been dead?" "Normally, clothing would completely decompose within two years, but this is high-quality polyester." "It could be 2 years, it could be 10." "Gold teeth -- obviously well-off." "What kind of money is that?" "Nigerian naira." "What is a nigerian priest doing on an island in the South Pacific?" "I'm not so sure he's a priest." "You wanna keep it down?" "!" "That's it." "Get up." " What?" " Get up." "You're going to Jack." "Do I get a lollipop?" "When did the headaches start?" "Few days ago." "A week, maybe." "Do you have to be here?" "Do you have them when you wake up in the morning?" "Usually they hit me middle of the day." "What the hell are you doing with that thing?" "Checking to see how your pupils respond to changing stimuli." "What's that -- that nod?" "Would you just let him do his thing?" "I'm letting him, but I wanna know what the hell he thinks " "I think you should just shut up and relax." "What the hell are you doing?" "Have you ever had a blood transfusion?" "What?" "No." "Taken pills for malaria?" "Nope." "Have you ever had sex with a prostitute?" "What the hell's that got to do with anything?" "Is that a yes?" "Yes." "And have you ever contracted a sexually transmitted disease?" "I take that as another yes." "When was the last outbreak?" "Go to hell, doc." " I know he deserved it, but " " He needs glasses." "What's going on, John?" "Nothing." "You can barely walk, man." "It's the wound from the shrapnel." "That's your right leg, John." "What's wrong with your left?" "I'm fine, now stop asking." "Damn it." "That's it." "Let's go back." "No, I'm fine." "I'm fine." "No, you're not." "Let me get you back to Jack." "No, Jack wouldn't know the first thing about what's wrong with me." "John." " We gotta get " " No, no." "What is wrong with you?" "Are you crazy?" " I was in a wheelchair." " What?" "I was paralyzed for four years." "The plane -- our plane " "I was in that chair when we took off, but not after we crashed." " Why were you in a wheelchair?" " It doesn't matter anymore." "But this island... it changed me." "It made me whole." "Now it's trying to take it back, and I don't know why." "But it wants me to follow what I saw." "What?" "I know it sounds crazy." "Four weeks ago, I wouldn't have believed it myself, but you and I are here for a reason." "There's something that we were meant to find -- something that's gonna help us get into the hatch." "I know it." "But we gotta keep going." "Okay." "Can you move your legs?" "Just help me up, son." "Okay." "Okay." "These doves fly a lot faster than you think." "So you gotta really lead 'em." "If you have to drop it in high covering..." "Got him." "Yeah, you did." "Good shot, son." "John, uh, your mother " "She may be a little crazy, but at least she brought us together." "Thank god it happened now, while we still have time." "Let's find your bird." "She was my nanny." "Theresa -- she was my nanny." "My mother wasn't around much." "I needed someone to take it out on." "My bedroom was at the top of this huge flight of stairs, and I would sit in bed all day calling her on the intercom." "One day she took a bad step, broke her neck." "I was 6." "So what the hell is so funny?" "Is that the plane you saw?" "As best I can tell." " You really saw it?" " Yeah." "I really saw it." "How long do you think it's been there?" "Doesn't matter." "What's important is that we found it." "And what's important is what's inside it." "What is inside of it, John?" "You're gonna have to climb up there for us and find out." "You can still change your mind." "Nah, they already shaved my back." "I'm so thankful for you, John." "This was meant to be." "See ya on the other side, son." "If you're looking for a stool sample, you can forget it." "You've been reading a lot since we came to the island." "Okay, so what?" "You, uh, you've got, uh," "you've got hyperopia." "Hyperopia?" "That's, uh..." "What is that?" "You're farsighted." "Farsighted?" "Yeah, it can develop later in life, especially when you add a new strain to the eyes, like with reading." "Blurry." "Better or worse?" "Worse." "Unh-unh." "No way." "Sawyer, it's not a fashion show." "Har har, very funny." "Dude, looks like someone steamrolled Harry Potter." "You love this, don't you?" "You're welcome." "Hang on." "Boone!" "Boone!" "I'm fine!" "Boone, what do you see?" "Boone!" "You wanna know what's in your damn plane, Locke?" "Here's your sign." "They're drug smugglers, Locke." "Heroin -- that's all that's in here." "I don't understand." "I don't understand." "Boone!" "Boone, get out!" "Hello." "Hello." "Anybody out there?" "Mayday, mayday." "Boone, there's no time." "Get out now!" " Is someone there?" " Hello!" "Hello!" "Can you hear me?" "Repeat your transmission, please." "Hello, we're survivors of the crash of oceanic flight 815." " Boone, get out!" " Please copy." " Hello..." " Get out now!" "There were no survivors of oceanic flight 815." "So, did you know before or after you asked him about his latest outbreak?" "Well, I'd answer that, Kate, but, you know, doctor-patient confidentiality." "Of course." "Thank you for helping him." "I know it's probably the last thing you wanted to do." "I didn't do it for him." "Jack!" "Help!" "No, no, no, no." "Put him down up here." "All right." "All right, that's it." "Easy." "Easy." "What happened?" "There was an accident." "Boone fell off a cliff out near the placewe were hunting." "Okay, I'm gonna need some water." "Shirts, towels -- anything that I can use to stanch the bleeding." "Kate!" "Now!" "Please." "John, tell me exactly what happened." "John?" "Locke!" "Locke!" "Locke!" "I think what you did was so kind." " Where's my father?" " Who?" "We had the transplant together." "I didn't know he was your father." "We don't have the same last name, but..." "Where is he?" "Mr. Cooper checked out this afternoon." "He went back home." "He's under private care." "That doesn't make any -- why -- did he leave me a message?" "No, not that I know of." "You just relax, mr." "Locke." "I'm gonna get you some juice." "It was his idea." "I'm sorry, John." "What are you doing here?" "I needed some money." "He's always been good that way." "Your father's always been generous." "You told me I didn't have a father." "Well, he said that was the only way you would give it to him." "It had to be your idea." "He told me where to find you." "He asked me to go see you." "I wanted to see you." "This can't be happening." "This -- this is a misunderstanding." "This can't -- this can't happen to me." "He wouldn't do this to me." "He wouldn't do this to me!" "Eddie!" "Eddie, open the gate." "Mr. Cooper's not seeing guests." "I'm not a guest!" "I'm sorry, John." "Eddie, open the gate." "I'm sorry." "I'm gonna need you to move your car." "I know you're watching me." "You can't do this." "John, please, move your car." "God!" "God!" "I've done everything you wanted me to do, so why did you do this?" "!"
