[Shot of Jack on ground in jungle.

Shot of Jack in house looking at his reflection in a window, rain outside.]

Margo

You're father's gone Jack. Did you hear what I said? He's gone Jack.

Jack

He'll be back.

Margo

This time it's different. I want you to bring him back. What?

Jack

He hasn't talked to me in 2 months, Mom.

Margo

You have talked to him in 2 months.

Jack

He doesn't want me to bring him back, trust me. Let one of his friends.

Margo

He does have friends anymore. Why do you think that is? He was right about you.

Jack

Right about what?

Margo

You don't understand the pressure that he's under.

Jack

I understand pressure.

Margo

Jack, please you know how he gets. . . he doesn't. He won't take care of himself. You have to go after him.

Jack

I'm sorry. I can't.

Margo

I can't? You don't get to say ³I can't². Not after what you did. Bring your father home, Jack.

Jack

Where is he?

Margo

Australia.

[Shot of Jack in jungle pursuing father.

Shot of Walt running to Kate on beach.]

Walt

Hey, hey.

Kate

What's the matter?

Walt

The pregnant lady fell down.

[Shot of Charlie, Michael and Kate bringing Claire to the ³infirmary.²]

Kate

What happened?

Charlie

She just dropped.

Kate

Must be the heat. Is she breathing?

Michael

I think.

Kate

Come on. Let's get her inside. Claire? Claire, honey, wake up. Claire? Can you here, me, Claire. Come on. Wake up. Please wake up. Please. Come on. Claire can you here me?

Claire

Hmm?

Kate

Hi. It's me. It's Kate.

Claire

What?

Kate

You passed out. Just take it easy okay? (To Charlie) She needs water.

[Shot of Charlie looking for water and not finding it.]

Charlie

The water's gone. Someone stole it.

[Shot of Locke, Sayid, Kate on beach.]

Locke

Where is the doctor?

Kate

I don't know. No one can find him.

Sayid

Is this the last of the camp's water supply.

Kate

Yeah.

Sayid

Keeping it all in one place, foolish.

Kate

Let's go into the jungle, try to find some fresh water.

Sayid

You're not going alone.

Locke

When the others find out the water's gone it's going to get ugly. And when they find out that someone pinched it, it's going to get uglier. I'll go. Camp needs you two here, especially with the doctor gone. And besides, I know where to look.

[Locke walks away.

Shot of Jack wandering around jungle. Lots of hand held, disorienting camera-work.]

Jack

Where are you? Where are you? (Yelling) Where are you?

[Flashback: Shot of Jack in a hotel room.]

Hotel Manager

The maid says he hasn't used the bed in the past three days.

Jack

Did he rent a car from the concierge.

HM

No sir. Quite honestly, Mr. Shepard, I don't think your father rented a car at all.

Jack

Yeah, why's that?

HM

There was an incident a few nights ago at the hotel bar. I had to get security to escort your father to his room.

Jack

What's that have to do with renting a car?

HM

I'm sorry sir. . .

Jack

Come on, what's that have to do with. . .

HM

Mr. Shepard, I don't think any rental agent in Sydney would lease your father a car in his condition.

Jack

My father is the Chief of Surgery.

HM

Of course, sir. I apologize.

[Jack has been looking around room, finding bottles of booze, pills. Finds his father's wallet on the bedside table.]

Jack

He left his wallet. Who leaves a wallet?

HM

Perhaps you should talk to the police Mr. Shepard.

Jack

Where are you?

[Shot of Jack in jungle. Running after the figure again. Disoriented. Gets to a clearing and then father is behind him. Runs after him again, and falls down a hill and then off a cliff. He's trying to hold on, climb back up.]

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Tivo return time 0: 31

[Jack hanging onto vine off of cliff, slipping, the a hand comes over the top. It's Locke.]

Locke

Take my hand. Come on.

[Locke pulls him up. They are laying there.]

Locke

Are you okay?

]Jack laughs, slightly crazily.

Shot of Charlie on the beach, bringing water to Claire.]

Charlie

Hey.

Claire

Hey. How long have I. . .

Charlie

A couple of hours. Here. It's not much but it's what we have. Just relax, you have to think about the little one, you know.

Claire

Thanks for the water Charlie.

Charlie

There'd be more if some git hadn't nicked it.

Claire

Is Jack back yet?

Charlie

No. No one's seen him. But, I wouldn't worry. Good old Mr. Locke's gone into the jungle to get some water for you.

Claire

Great. Now our only hunter's going to get eaten just so he can get the pregnant girl some more water.

Charlie

I wouldn't worry about him. I mean, you tell me, who would you rather meet in a dark alley, whatever's out there, or that old geezer with his 400 knives. I mean, who packs 400 knives? Personally, I can only have space for 200, 300 at most.

Claire

When are they going to rescue us?

Charlie

Soon.

Claire

Thanks, Charlie.

Charlie

For what?

Claire

People don't seem to look me in the eye here. I think I'm scare them. It's like I'm this time bomb of responsibility just waiting to go off.

Charlie

You don't scare me.

[Hurley runs up to Sayid and Kate.]

Hurley

Uh, the Chinese people have water.

[Sayid goes right off to Sun.]

Sayid

Where did you get this? Where did you get this? (Yelling) Where did you. . .

Kate

She doesn't understand you.

Sayid

She understands me. Did you steal this water?

Sun

Says something in Korean.

[Jin runs up yelling.]

Kate

Just take it easy, alright. We just want to talk, alright? This had water in it. Is it yours? Who gave you this?

[Jin points at Sawyer who's smoking a cigarette. Kate moves to go to him, but Sayid stops her.]

Sayid

I don't see the water.

Kate

And?

Sayid

You go after him now, he'll give you nothing. But if you wait, a rat will always lead you to it's hole.

[Shot of Sawyer walking to his ³hole.² Grabs a pack of cigarettes. Kate tackles him.]

Sawyer

Well, it's about time.

Kate

For what?

Sawyer

I made this birthday wish 4 years ago.

Kate

Where's the water.

[Sawyer flips her over so he's on top.]

Sawyer

That's better.

Kate

Get off of me.

[Sayid comes up and drags Sawyer off of Kate.]

Sayid

Give us the water now.

Sawyer (shoves Sayid)

Touch me again, huh.

[Kate looks through Sawyer's stuff.]

Sawyer

You really think I stole your damn water?

Sayid

We know you gave two bottles to the Korean's.

Sawyer

I don't give nothing to nobody.

Kate

It's not here.

Sawyer

I traded Mr. Miyagi the last of my water for a fish he caught. We worked it out caveman style.

Kate

You gave him your last two bottles?

Sawyer

Water has no value, Freckles. It's gonna rain sooner or later. And hell, I'm an optimist.

[Sawyer gets something out of his suitcase.]

Sawyer (to Kate)

Hey, you forgot something. (Throws her a badge). Seeing as you're the new sheriff in town. Might as well make it official.

[Shot of a drop of water coming off a plant into a water bottle. Wider shot shows Locke's arms.]

Jack

How are they, the others?

Locke

Thirsty. Hungry. Waiting to be rescued. And they need someone to tell them what to do.

Jack

Me? I can't.

Locke

Why can't you?

Jack

Because I'm not a leader.

Locke

And yet they all treat you like one.

Jack

I don't know how to help them. I'll fail. I don't have what it takes.

Locke

Why are you out here Jack?

Jack

I think I'm going crazy.

Locke

No. You're not going crazy. Crazy people don't know they're going crazy. They think they're getting saner. So, why are you out here?

Jack

I'm chasing something. Someone.

Locke

Ah. The white rabbit. Alice in Wonderland.

Jack

Yeah, wonderland, because who I'm chasing. . . he's not there.

Locke

But you see him?

Jack

Yes. But he's not there.

Locke

And if I came to you and said the same thing, then what would your explanation be, as a doctor.

Jack

I'd call it a hallucination. A result of dehydration, post traumatic stress, not getting more than 2 hours of sleep a night for the past week. All of the above.

Locke

All right, then. You're hallucinating. But what if you're not?

Jack

Then we're all in a lot of trouble.

Locke

I'm an ordinary man Jack, meat and potatoes, I live in the real world. I'm not a big believer in magic. But this place is different. It's special. The others don't want to talk about it because it scares them. But we all know it. We all feel it. Is your white rabbit a hallucination? Probably. But what if everything that happened here, happened for a reason? What if this person that you're chasing is really here?

Jack

That's impossible.

Locke

Even if it is; let's say it's not.

Jack

Then what happens when I catch him?

Locke

I don't know. But I've looked into the eye of this island. And what I saw was beautiful.

[Locke gets up to leave.]

Jack

Wait, wait, wait, where are you going?

Locke

To find some more water.

Jack

I'll come with you.

Locke

No. You need to finish what's you've started.

Jack

Why?

Locke

Because a leader can't lead until he knows where he's going.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Tivo return time 0:45

[Shot of Jack sitting at a little fire in the jungle.

Flashback: Shot of him and a medical examiner (?) walking down a hall in some kind of medical building (morgue).]

ME

The police found him in an alley in Queens Cross. Now, a tox screen showed a blood alcohol content, which for a man of his size, probably brought on myocardial infarction - a sizable, and fatal heat-attack.

[They go into a room with a body bag on a gurney. The ME unzips it. His father is there.]

Jack (crying)

That's him.

[Shot of Jack in jungle, crying. Sound of ice in glass, sound of branch breaking or moving. Jack grabs a log out of the fire and follows. He comes upon the caves and water. Doll in the water, he takes it out. There are a bunch of dolls scattered on the ground from a box. There is other debris there from a section of a plane. He finds a coffin.

Flashback: Jack at counter at Sydney airport.]

Jack

What do you mean you won't put it on the plane?

Agent

I'm sorry Mr. Shepard, but out policy is that the body must have the proper documentation. There's just no latitude.

Jack

No latitude? No latitude?

Agent

Without the proper documents. . .

Jack

Look you can't do this to me. I'm ready to go now.

Agent

Perhaps another carrier. . .

Jack

No!

[Shot of Jin in line looking over at Jack's outburst.]

Jack

I want you to listen to me, okay. Because I'm asking you a favor, Crissy. I'm standing in front of you in the same suit that I'm wearing to my father's funeral and I'm asking you a favor. In 16 hours I need to land at LAX, and I need that coffin to clear customs because there's going to be a hearse waiting there. And I need that hearse to take me and that coffin to a cemetery.Why? Why, Crissy, can't I just bring him to a funeral home and make all the arrangements? Why can't I really take my time with it? Because I need it to be done. I need it to be over. I just. . . I need to bury my father.

[Shot of Jack at caves looking at coffin. He opens it and there's no body inside. He gets mad and beats it with a pipe of some kind.]

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Tivo return time 0:55

[Shot of people at beach, fires. Shot of three bottles of water.]

Boone

Hey, hey, Claire (giving her water to drink).

Claire

How did you get that?

Boone

Shhh.

Charlie (coming up behind Boone)

Where'd you get that?

[Shot of Boone's face hitting the sand.]

Charlie

Here's your thief.

Michael

Where'd he hide it?

Charlie

I don't know. This wanker had three bottles of it. Why'd you do it pretty boy, eh?

Boone

It was just sitting in.., it was just sitting in the tent, and Jack just took off.

Charlie

Claire could've died.

Boone

I tried to give her some soda, but it just got out of hand. No one would have understood.

Kate (walking up)

What is going on?

Boone

Someone had to take responsibility for it. It would have never lasted.

[Charlie pushes Boone, Sayid steps in.]

Jack (off camera, at first)

Leave him alone. It's been 6 days and we're all still waiting. Waiting for someone to come. But what if they don't? We have to stop waiting. We need to start figuring things out. A woman died this morning just going for a swim and he tried to save her, and now you're about to crucify him? We can't do this. Everyman for himself is not going to work. It's time to start organizing. We need to figure out how we're going to survive here. Now, I found water. Fresh water, up in the valley. I'll take a group in at first light. If you don't want to go come then find another way to contribute. Last week most of us were strangers, but we're all here now. And god knows how long we're going to be here. But if we can't live together, we're going to die alone.

[Shot of everyone standing around feeling stupid.

Shot of Charlie and Hurley getting water for people.

Shot of Jin and Sun.]

Sun

Thank you. For getting me water today.

Jin

That's what husbands do.

[Michael brings water for Walt, but he's asleep so Vincent gets it.

Boone sitting by himself and Sawyer comes up.]

Sawyer

So, how does it feel?

Boone

How does what feel?

Sawyer

Taking my place at the top of everyone's most hated list. Sucks, don't it?

[Kate brings water to Jack.]

Jack

Thanks.

Kate

So where were you today Jack?

Jack

Just had to take care of a few things.

Kate

That's all I'm gonna get, huh?

Jack

My father died. In Sydney.

Kate

I'm sorry.

Jack

Yeah. I'm sorry too.
