1X04: WALKABOUT
==========================


[Locke's eye opens. Shot of him lying on beach, angle up from his feet. Shot of engine still turning.

Shot of Shannon screaming.

Shot of Locke looking around.

Shot of Jin screaming.

Shot of Locke wiggling his toe. Grabbing his shoe, moving slowly. Sound of dog barking.

Shot of Locke awake in the dark. Looking around the crash area. Pans to Walt and Michael.]

Michael

Walt, you gotta keep that dog quiet.

Walt

I don't know what's wrong with him. Come on, Vincent, cut that out.

[Shot of dog dragging Walt by the leash out of their sleeping area. Goes over by Boone and Shannon who wake up.]

Michael

Sorry, hey, sorry, sorry.

[Shot of Jin and Sun waking up. Sound of rummaging in the plane.

Shot of Sayid looking around for what's wrong.

Sound of grunting.

Shot of Hurley and Claire looking around.

Shot of Charlie, redshirt waking up.

Shot of Jack running up to where everyone else is. Kate sitting up. More sounds of rummaging, growling.]

Kate

What is it?

Claire

Somebody's in there.

Sayid

Everyone in there's dead.

Jack

Sawyer.

Sawyer

Right behind you, Jackass.

[Jack pulls a little flashlight out of his pocket and goes toward the plane. Sawyer follows with a big flashlight.]

Kate

Jack?

[Shot of inside plane. They are trying to see inside in the dark.]

Sawyer

I'm gonna shed some light on this thing.

[They see the animal look over it's shoulder.]

Jack

Run.

[They all start running.]

Hurley

Oh crud, now what?

[Sayid helping Claire. Boone helping Shannon. Jin helping Sun. Sawyer with Kate. Somebody knocks Charlie down. Jack helps Charlie. Shot of three boars running. They run into the woods.]

Sayid

They're gone.

Charlie

What the bloody hell was that?

Locke

Boars.

COMMERICAL BREAK

Tivo return time: 0:05

[Shot of Jack doctoring a scrape on Charlie's side.]

Jack

Those boars were looking to feed. We have to get rid of the bodies.

Charlie

Bury them? There's a whole bunch in there.

Sayid

More than twenty. Digging will be difficult without shovels.

Jack

We're not burying them. We need to burn them.

Kate

They're people.

Jack

I know they're people, Kate.

Sayid

Burning the remains, they deserve better than that.

Jack

Better than what? Being eaten by wild animals? Because that's what's going to happen. Any bodies we bury are not going to stay buried for very long. Look, I know this seems harsh, but that fuselage in the sun. . . it's not about what they deserve. They're gone, and we're not.

Sayid

What you say may be true, but for us to decide how these people are laid to rest. . . it's not right. No regard for their wishes? Their religions?

Jack

We don't have time to sort out everybody's god.

Charlie

Really, last I heard we were positively made of time.

Jack

Look, I'm not happy about it either, but we crashed a thousand miles off course. They're looking for us in the wrong place. It's been 4 days, no one's come. Tomorrow morning we need everyone to start gathering up wood, dried brush, and turn that fuselage into a furnace. Wait until the sun goes down tomorrow night before we start the fire.

Charlie

If he's so eager to burn the bodies why are we waiting until sundown?

Kate

He's hoping someone will see it.

[Shot of Sayid at the beach with electronic equipment. Kate walks up.]

Kate

Looks like I'm not the only who couldn't sleep last night.

Sayid

There are better things to do with my time than collect firewood.

Kate

You don't agree with Jack. What are you making?

Sayid

Too soon to talk about. I'm not sure it will even work.

Kate

You're trying to pick up the transmission aren't you? The one we heard on the transceiver.

Sayid

If the French woman's transmission has truly been playing on a loop for 16 years then there must be a power source on the island. A significant one.

Kate

And you can find it?

Sayid

Hypothetically, yes. I'm making an antenna of sorts. With a few of mounted at different points on the island I may be able to use the transceiver to triangulate the signal, find out where it's coming from.

Kate

So what can I do to help?

Sayid

It appears you are as anxious to get off this island as I am.

[Kate looks down. . .

Shot of Michael walking back from getting wood. . . coming to beach. Shot of Locke with a silver case.]

Walt (off camera)

Good boy, good job Vincent.

Michael

Hey, hey, where you going man?

Walt

Nowhere, I just thought I'd see what Mr. Locke was doing.

Michael

Hey, why don't you help your dad with the wood. I'm sure Mr. Locke doesn't want a kid hanging around him all day anyway.

Walt

At least he talks to me. Come on, Vincent.

[Shot of feet, a backpack, a scuffle.]

Hurley

What's your problem? Hand them over.

Sawyer

How about no.

Hurley

There's other people here or don't you give a crap?

Sawyer

Well if one of us wouldn't eat more than his fair share. . .

Hurley

Oh that's bull and you know it.You're not happy unless you're screwing over everybody. . .

Sawyer

Hey don't patronize me, pork pie (?)

[In the background we can hear someone saying knock it off.

Jack comes up to scene.]

Jack

Guys, knock it off.

Sawyer

Stay out of this metro.

[Jack and Sayid come and break it up.]

Jack

What's going on?

Hurley

Jethro here's hoarding the last of the peanuts.

Sawyer

My own stash. I found it in there.

Jack

What about the rest of the food?

Hurley

There is no rest of the food, dude. We kind of. . . ate it all.

Shannon

What?

[Shot of everyone looking shocked and bummed.]

Jack

Okay everybody, just calm down.

Sayid

We can find food. There are plenty of things on this island we can use for sustenance.

Sawyer (sits down in an airplane seat)

And exactly how are we going to find this sustenance.

[A knife is thrown into the seat next the one Sawyer is sitting in. Everyone looks back at Locke.]

Locke

We hunt.

[Jack goes and grabs the knife.]

Kate

How'd you get that knife on the plane.

Locke

Checked it.

Jack (handing the knife back to Locke)

You either have very good aim, or very bad aim, Mr.. . ..

Michael

Locke. His name is Locke.

Jack

Okay Mr. Locke, what is it that we're hunting?

Locke

We know there are wild boar on the island. Razorbacks, by the look of them. The one's that came into the camp last night were piglets, 100, 150 pounds each. Which means that there's a mother nearby. A 250 pound rat, with scimitar-like tusks, and a surly disposition, who'd love nothing more than to eviscerate anything that comes near. Boar's usual mode of attack is to circle around and charge from behind so I figure it'll take at least three of us to distract her long enough for me to flank one of the piglets, pin it, and slit it's throat.

Sawyer (to Jack)

And you gave him his knife back?

Jack

Well, if you've got a better idea.

Sawyer

Better than the three of you wandering into the magic forest to bag a hunk of ham with nothing but a little bitty hunting knife? Hell no, it's the best idea I ever heard.

[Locke opens his case which is full of knives. Everyone looks like ³okay????²]

Hurley

Who is this guy?

[Flashback. Sound of phone ringing. Locke in an office.]

Locke

Yes?

Phone person

Col. Locke is this line secure?

Locke looks around like he's checking if anyone's listening.

Locke

Line secure GL12, go ahead.

GL12

Target area is acquired. Maneuvers are a go for 13:00 hours. Repeat: we are a go.

Locke

Roger that. We'll convene at the usual rendezvous point at 13:00 hours.

Randy (Locke's boss)

Locke. I told you I need those TPS reports done by noon today. Not 12:30, not 12:15, noon.

[Wide shot of a bunch of cubicles.]

Locke

I heard you the first time, Randy.

Randy

And no personal calls during office hours, Col.

[Shot of Locke crunching numbers.]

COMMERICAL BREAK

Tivo return time 0:16

[Shot of Kate slipping a knife into sheath at her waist. Jack enters.]

Jack

So? Hunting boar, now, huh?

Kate

Who says it's my first time boar hunting?

Jack

Uh-Huh. Tell me something, how come every time there's a hike into the heart of darkness you sign up? You know what's in there.

Kate

Actually, I don't. And neither do you.

Jack

What's your feel on our new friend?

Kate

Seems to know what he's doing.

Jack

Call me paranoid, but anyone who packs a suitcase full of knives?

Kate

If I didn't know any better, I'd say your worried about me Jack.

Jack

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you have a problem staying in one place for very long, Kate. So, you want to tell me why you're really going?

Kate (showing the antenna to Jack)

Sayid gave me this so he can triangulate the distress signal we heard. Find the source.

Jack

This isn't about boars.

Kate

I'm a vegetarian.

[Shot of Walt of Michael]

Walt

But, why can't I come?

Michael

Because I said so.

[Shot of Sun walking with some plants.]

Michael (getting Sun's attention)

Hi, hi, excuse me. Um, I am going off, away, to hunt, and um, I was wondering if you could keep an eye on my boy, Walt. And, I'm Michael. Anyway, could you watch him for me, until I come back?

Sun

Oh. [Then says something in Korean.]

Michael

Sorry I don't understand, but you're cool with this, right? [giving her the okay sign with his hand]

Sun [nodding and giving the okay sign]

Walt

I don't need a babysitter.

Michael

Come on, Vincent needs you here. And, hey, cheer up. This will give me a chance to get to know your friend Mr. Locke a little better.

Sun

Says something in Korean to Walt

Walt

Yeah, whatever.

[Shot of Jack stacking wood, Claire enters.]

Claire,

Excuse me. Doctor?

Jack.

          Claire, right? How's the (pointing to her belly).

Claire

Oh, he's good, yeah, thanks. Um, I thought maybe you should see this (hands him a stack of papers). Someone found it in there. They're collecting all the belongings. They're wedding plans for Steve and Kristin. There were on the plane sitting a couple of rows behind me. I remember because they looked so happy.

Jack

I don't understand, Claire, what am I supposed to do with this?

Claire

Oh, well, um, some of us were wondering if maybe we should do some kind of memorial service, or something. You could lead it.

Jack

Uh, no, I don' think it. . .

Claire

Well, you know, just a few words, or we could just read their names from passports, and drivers. . .

Jack

Look, it's not my thing.

Claire

Oh, okay. Maybe I'll do it.

Jack

Yeah, sounds fine. Whatever everybody wants.

[Shot of Boone looking at Rose sitting alone on the beach away from everyone.]

Boone (to Shannon)

That woman's still sitting there.

Shannon (not looking up from a crossword she's doing)

Mmmhmmm.

Boone

Her husband was on the plane.

Shannon

Right.

Boone

Are you even listening to me?

Shannon

What's a four letter word for I don't care.

Boone

I just think somebody should go talk to her.

Shannon

I nominate you, Captain America. You just can't help yourself, can you?

Boone

Yeah, well, at least you don't have to worry about starving with me taking care of you.

Shannon

I'm not going to starve.

Boone

Right, what are you going to eat?

Shannon

The ocean's full of fish.

Boone

I hate to break it to you, the ocean is not going to take your gold card.

Shannon

You really don't think I can't catch a fish?

[Shot of Locke in the jungle digging in the ground with his knife.]

Kate

You find something?

Locke

The ground here has been rooted up. That's how boars get the majority of their food, they dig. Afterwards they generally wallow in the dirt, rub up against the trees, scoring them with their tusks.

Michael

Okay. So what's all that mean?

Locke

Means we're close.

[Shot of Charlie getting drugs out of his baggie. Close up of hands. Shannon comes up.]

Shannon

Hi.

Charlie

Hi. (putting the drugs back in his pocket). Shannon, right?

Shannon

Yeah. Are you doing anything?

Charlie

Me? No, I was just, uh. What are you doing?

Shannon

I was just going to go for a walk. Do you want to come?

Charlie

Yeah, Yes, sure.

Shannon

Can I ask you something?

Charlie

Oh, I wondered when this was going to come up. Yes, I'm the bass guitarist in D. . .

Shannon

Do you know anything about fishing?

Charlie

What? Fishing? My grand-dad used to take me out, taught me everything he knows. Everything he knew, he's dead now, god rest his soul. Yeah, I'm like a. . . I'm a fishing fiend. I mean England's island so I just throw it in and. . . fish.

Shannon

Good.

[Shot of wheelchair being used as a wheelbarrow for wood. Boone enters toward Jack.]

Boone

Hey doc, you got a second?

Jack

What's up?

Boone

The woman's been sitting over there by herself. Maybe she's having trouble dealing with her husband? I don't think she's had anything to eat or drink. Think maybe you can go talk to her?

Jack

Why me? I'm not a psychiatrist. I mean, maybe you should. . .

Boone

I just thought you might want to do it. You're the one that saved her life.

[Shot of Rose holding a wedding band around her neck. (Jack enters with water and puts a blanket around her shoulders).]

Jack

Hi. Rose, right? Remember me, seat 23A, I'm the guy that told you not to worry about the turbulence. Everybody's getting pretty worried about you Rose. If you want to be alone that's fine, but you have to take care of yourself. You should really drink. Okay. We don't have to talk. Let's just sit for a while.

[Kate, Locke and Michael in jungle.]

Kate

Your son, how's he handling all of this?

Michael

A hell of a lot better than I am.

Kate

You must be proud. He's a brave kid.

Michael

Yeah. I can't take credit for that. I wasn't part of his life. Till his mother passed away, two weeks ago.

Kate

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

Michael

That's okay. There were living in Sydney the past couple of years. I flew out last week, you know, to go get him. What were you doing in Australia?

[Shot of Locke, listening to boar noises.]

Locke

Shhh.

[Locke sees tusk marks on a tree. Gives hand signals to direct the others.]

Michael

Hey, quit giving us the steal signal.

A boar suddenly runs at them. Locke gets Kate out of the way. Michael gets gored. Michael screaming. Locke laying on the ground with knife sticking up phallically. Kate helps Michael. Same ³ankle up² shot of Locke as when he comes to on the beach. He doesn't move right away. Michael is moaning.]

Kate

He's bad.

[Flashback of Locke]

GL-12

          Move. You've got to move Col.

[Shot of an army game like Risk.]

GL-12

          Your troops are across enemy lines.

[Shot of Locke in an office break room.]

Locke

Patience, the quality which you lack, GL-12, is the hallmark of a leader.

[Randy walks in the break room.]

Randy

Hallmark, huh? Tell me more about being a leader, Locke. While you're at it, tell me about this Col, thing. I cruised your file in human resources, you've never been in any of the armed forces.

Locke

I'm just playing game, Randy. It's my lunch hour, I can play a game.

Randy

Well, tellme, what's a Walkabout? (reading from a brochure): Experience the dream journeys of the fabled Australian Outback.

Locke

You have no right taking that off my desk.

Randy

So, you wander around hunting and gathering food, right? On foot?

Locke

Not that you would understand, but a Walkabout is a journey of spiritual renewal, where one derives strength from the earth. And becomes inseparable from it. I have vacation days, I'm going, Randy. I've already made a reservation.

GL12

          Wow. John you're really doing it, huh? You tell Helen yet?

Randy

Helen? Well, what's this Locke, you've actually got a woman in your life.

Locke

That's none of your business.

Randy

What is it with you Locke? Why do you torture yourself? I mean, imagining you're some hunter? Walkabouts? Wake up, you can't do any of that.

Locke

Norman Croucher.

Randy

What? Norman what?

Locke

Norman Croucher. Norman Croucher, double amputee, no legs. He climbed to the top of Mt. Everest. Why? It was his destiny.

Randy

That's what you think you've got, old man? Destiny?

Locke

Just don't tell me what I can't do.

Kate VO:

He's hurt. John? Can you hear me? Locke?

[Locke is still laying there.]

Kate:

John you okay?

[Shot from foot angle again.]

Kate

Locke?

Locke (moving)

I'm fine. I'm fine Helen, I just got the wind knocked out of me is all.

Kate

Helen?

Locke

What?

Kate

You called me Helen.

Locke

Did I?

[Kate is tending to Michael, making a tourniquet.]

Locke

Which way did that boar go?

Kate

Michael's hurt. We have to get him back to camp.

Locke

Yeah, you take him back to camp. I'm going to get that boar.

[Kate looks shocked.]

Kate

What are you talking about.

Locke

I'm fine. I can do this.

Kate

John, you can't.

Locke

Don't tell me what I can't do.

COMMERICAL BREAK

Tivo return time 0:33

[Shot of Hurley and Charlie in the surf trying to fish with a stick with a piece of airplane shrapnel.]

Charlie

Did you get it?

Hurley

Dude, quit asking me that.

Charlie

Sorry. You, you said you knew how to fish.

Hurley

Yeah, off the Santa Monica pier with my old man and a fishing pole and bait. Never had to try and poke one with a sharp stick.

Charlie

Well, I really appreciate you trying to help me out, thanks.

Hurley

Anything to keep me far away from that fuselage and that freakin' redneck jerk.

[Hurley spears again and misses.]

          Crap, crap, crap, son of a. . .

Charlie

Can I have a go (?)

Hurley

Knock yourself out. Here comes one. Put your weight into it. Now, you see it? Wait for it, wait. . . now. [Charlie lunges and misses]. Dude, you've got to try to pin it.

Charlie

You see how close I was? No, you just have to corner it.

[Shot of Sayid on the beach with a hand full of wires, next to Claire sorting through stuff.]

Claire

Excuse me, your name's Sayid, right?

Sayid

Yes.

Claire

I just found this. It's got your name on it. (Hands him an envelope).

Sayid

I thought I'd lost this. Thank you.

Claire

Sure.

[Sayid opens the envelope which has pictures of a woman, he rubs his thumb over a picture of her face.

Shot of Jack and Rose.]

Rose

His fingers swell.

Jack

Sorry?

Rose

Bernard, my husband, his hands swell up whenever we fly.

Jack

The altitude.

Rose

He started having me hold onto his wedding ring whenever we took a plane trip. Always wore it around my neck for safe keeping. Just until we landed. You know, doctor, you don't have to keep your promise.

Jack

Promise?

Rose

The one you gave me on the plane. The one you made me to keep me company until my husband got back from the restroom. I'm letting you off the hook.

Jack

Well, you're not going to get rid of me that easily. Rose you shouldn't be out here alone. You're suffering from Post Traumatic Shock.

Rose

Aren't we all?

Jack

Yeah, I guess we are.

Rose

You have a nice way about you. A good soul, patient, caring. I suppose that's why you became a doctor.

Jack

Thanks but I was just kind of born into it. Family business.

[Shot of Locke out hunting alone.

Flashback. Locke is in his bed in a studio apartment talking on the phone.]

Locke

I have never felt so alive. Getting to finally tell Randy off was. . . life changing. I mean it, now I'm free to do all those thing I ever wanted to do. Things that I know I was destined to do, like we talked about Helen.

Helen

That's wonderful John. I'm happy for you, really.

Locke

I haven't even told you the best part. [He reaches over and turn a machine off by his bed] You remember the authentic aboriginal Walkabout?

Helen

Sure. That's all you've talked about for weeks.

Locke

Yeah, well, I'm going to do it. I'm flying to Australia at the end of the week. And I've, uh. I bought two tickets. Helen?

Helen

John, we've talked about this. I like you and I've enjoyed talking with you these past few months.

Locke

8 months.

Helen

I'm not allowed to meet customers.

Locke

Customer? Is that what I am to you?

Helen

This isn't really normal. I mean, it isn't what I do. I don't know, maybe you should find a. . . I don't know. . . a therapist?

Locke

I have a therapist.

Helen

John.

Locke

I thought you understood Helen. You know me better than anyone.

Helen

John, if we talk any longer, I'm going to have to charge you for another hour. That's another 89.95 and . . .

Locke

Look, I don't care about the money. I just. . .

Helen

I'm sorry John, I've got to go.

Locke (we the click of the hang up)

Helen, Helen. (Yelling) Helen.

[Locke slams the phone down several times.

Shot of Kate helping Michael back to camp. They stop.]

Kate

Hey, hey wait a minute. Rest here for a minute.

[Kate is taking off her backpack and over-shirt.]

Michael

I thought the guy with the gimpy leg should be deciding when we rest. What are you doing?

Kate

Trying to boost the transceiver signal. I'm going to climb this tree and attach the antenna.

Michael

You're going to climb that?

Kate

Yeah. Don't worry. I've climbed a lot worse.

[Kate climbs the tree.

Shot of Locke hiking.

Shot of Michael adjusting his bandage.

Shot of Kate taking the antenna out of her pack.

Camera shakes. We hear the metallic/growling noise. Kate drops the antenna. Kate sees the monster going toward Locke.]

Kate

Locke.

[Shot of Locke in the jungle. He hears the sound of boars and starts to run toward them. Then we can hear the metallic sound and see the trees moving. Locke halts and looks up, back away a bit. Camera is monster POV looking at Locke. Close up of Locke looking amazed.]

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Tivo return time 0:45

[Shot of people on the beach, Claire, Sawyer.]

Sawyer (to Claire)

Hey, uh, these were, um. I found these the other day when I was. . . Alright, just, just take them. [He hands her a stack of wallets]

Claire

Thank you.

[Pans to Walt and Sun on the beach. Sun is breaking a piece of a plant off.]

Walt

What is that?

[Sun showing Walt how to brush his teeth with it.]

Walt

Oh, I get it. It's like toothpaste.

Sun

Chia (? In Korean)

Walt

Chia?

[Shot of Kate helping Michael back. Hurley runs up.]

Walt

Dad?

Hurley

So, like, what happened out there?

Walt

Your leg's all messed up. Does it hurt?

Michael

It's okay, not as bad as it looks.

Sawyer

The mighty huntress returns. What's for dinner, hon. . .

Kate

Not now.

Walt

So, it was like a boar fight?

Michael

Not too much of a fight. It was more like me getting gored.

Walt

So, um, where's Mr. Locke?

[Shot of Boone walking up to Shannon]

Boone

I don't think the hunt went very well. The bald guy never game back.

Shannon

Wait, they didn't bring back any food at all?

Boone

Did you hear what I just said? Somebody might have died out there.

Shannon

Well, we're all going to die if somebody doesn't do something.

Charlie (walking up)

There you are. As promised, you and I will be dining of fresh catch of the day.

Shannon (squealing)

Oh my god.

Charlie

I hope you don't mind al fresco. It was no problem. You know what, that one actually gave me a hell of a tussle, but you have to get inside the mind of the fish, you know.

Boone

I don't believe you.

Charlie

I got it in the shallows, I cornered it.

Shannon (to Boone)

What's the matter? Can't stand to see me fending for myself?

Boone (to Charlie)

I'm sorry, seriously.

Charlie

No, it's okay.

Shannon

What are you apologizing to him for?

Boone

For you. For using him using this poor guy like you use everyone else.

Shannon

Oh. whatever.

Boone

Somewhere in that twisted little brain, you think this proves that you can take care of yourself.

[Shannon and Boone walk away from Charlie.]

Shannon

I told you I'd catch a fish, didn't I?

Boone (off camera, shot is on Charlie's sad reaction)

That's low Shannon, even for you.

Shannon

Oh go rescue a baby bird or something.

[Shot of Jack and Rose on the beach.]

Jack

Rose, after the sun goes down, we're going to burn the fuselage. It's just something that we have to do. There's going to be a memorial service back at the camp for those, for those who didn't make it. For everyone to say goodbye.

Rose

I'd like to be there for that.

Jack

Okay. (They get up to go). Maybe if you'd like to say something, you know, about your husband.

Rose

What?

Jack

I'm just saying if you wanted to say goodbye to Bernard.

Rose

Doctor, my husband is not dead.

Jack

Rose, he was in the tail section of the plane. It broke off in mid-flight. I'm sorry, but everyone who was in the rear of the plane's gone.

Rose

They're probably thinking the same thing about us.

[Jack does a double-take. Sees a man in a suit and white shoes standing under a tree on the beach. He walks toward it.]

Rose

Doctor? You coming?

[He looks back and the man is gone.

Shot of Sayid with some equipment, Kate walks up and hands him the broken antenna.]

Kate

I'm sorry. I guess should've gotten a warrantee.

Sayid

I suppose I'll just try again. Of course I have no welding iron, no rivets, scorched wiring. And it seems I must continue to lie to anyone who asks me what it is I'm actually doing. [Throws the antenna down]

Kate

Sayid, we'll try it again.

Sayid

We'll try it again.

Jack (walking up)

Kate.

Sayid

Excuse me. (exits)

Jack (reaching for Kate's face)

You okay?

Kate

Is this when you say ³I told you so?²

Jack

No, I'm not big on rubbing it in.

Kate

Locke, um. Locke's gone. That thing, it was moving in his direction. There wasn't time. [Looking toward another part of the beach] What's going on?

Jack

The fuselage is ready to go. Some of the others decided, um. . . I guess there's going to be some words said over the fire, names read, I think.

Kate

That's good. I just don't think they're ready to hear about some of the things we've. . .

[Jack suddenly runs off.]

Kate

Jack?

[Jack runs into the woods a little ways. Kate follows.

Shot of Locke dragging a boar out of the woods.]

Jack

Locke.

[All looking at each other.]

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Tivo return time 0:54

[Shot of everyone around by the fuselage. The memorial.]

Claire

Judith Martha Wexler from Denton, TX, guess she was going to catch a connecting flight. Um, she wore corrective lenses and she was an organ donor, or at least would have been. Steve and Kirsten, I don't know their last name, but they were really in love and were going to be married. At least, wherever they are now, they're not alone.

[Shot of Charlie doing drugs, hiding.]

Claire

. . .video store receipt lists her overdue charges for Willie Wonka and Little Princess (?). Looks like he hadn't traveled much. . . at least as far as I can tell from his passport.

[Shot of Charlie coming back standing next to Kate.]

Kate

You seen Jack.

Shot of Michael next to Locke.]

Michael

Nice work.

Locke

What?

Claire

Millicent. . .

Michael

The boar. Nice work, you know, killing it. Just thought I should say something. So that thing, the monster, whatever. She said it was headed right towards you. Did you see anything? Get any kind of look at it?

Locke

No.

[Close up of Locke.

Flashback to travel agency office.]

Agent

The Walkabouts we arrange here are not just a stroll through the park. It's trekking through vast stretches of desert, rousting (?) bloody treacherous woods.

Locke

Look, you've got no idea who you're talking to. I'm well aware of what's involved, believe me. I probably know more than you on the subject.

Agent

In any case, it's a trying ordeal for someone in peak physical condition, let alone. . .

Locke

Look, I booked this tour a month ago, you've already got my money. Now, I demand a place on that bus.

Agent

You mis-represented yourself. . .

Locke

I never lied.

Agent

By omission, Mr. Locke. You neglected to tell us about your condition.

Locke

My condition is not an issue. I've lived with it for 4 years. It's never kept me from doing anything.

Agent

Look, unfortunately it is an issue for our insurance company. I can't keep the bus waiting any longer. It isn't fair to the other people.

Locke

Hey, don't talk to me about fair.

Agent

I can get you on a plane back to Sydney on our dime. That's the best I can do.

Locke

No. I don't want to go back to Sydney. Look I've been preparing for this for years. Just put me on the bus, right now, I can do this.

Agent

No, you can't.

Locke

Hey, hey, don't your walk away from me. [The wheelchair reveal]. 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 destiny. This is my destiny. (Yelling) I'm supposed to do this dammit. Don't tell me what I can't do. Don't tell me what I can't. . .

[The bus pulls away.

Shot of Locke on the beach when he comes to, from the beginning of the episode. Putting his shoes on, getting up, Jack calls to him for help and he goes.

Shot of Locke back at the memorial.

Shot of fuselage on fire. Wheelchair near. Locke smiles.]
