Pilot:
Oceanic 815 flew over the Pacific heading from Sydney to Los Angeles. Jack is looking out the window when the stewardess Cindy asked Jack about his drink. He referred to it as not very strong and she snuck him another drink to top up his. Jack drunk his drink and was about to put it in the bin when the plane hit turbulence, and he had to sit back down and put his seatbelt back on. Jack saw Rose besides him getting nervous about the turbulence and told her that it's normal.
Rose responded "oh I know. I've just never been a good flier. My husband keeps reminding me that planes want to be in the air and it's weird him needing to calm me down because I'm the psychiatrist in the family while he's a cultural anthropologist or as I like to call it a fancy word for a grown man who like to dig in the dirt".
Jack responded, "well even still he's sound like a very smart man".
Rose said, "be sure and tell him that when he gets back from the bathroom".
The plane shook some more, and Jack told her "Well I'll keep you company until he does". The plane shook some more, and he said "Don't worry. It's going to be over". The plane shook even harder which sent some people into the air.
The Marshal was hit by a large case and was bleeding from it. The masks came down and everybody put them on. Sawyer couldn't put his on because of the cuffs so rummaged through the Marshal's pocket for the keys to the cuffs. He got it out and uncuffed himself before he put his mask on. After realising that the Marshal couldn't he exclaimed "ah hell", before he put the Marshal's mask on. The back of the tail ripped apart and then so did the cockpit. The tail landed in the water, while the cockpit landed in the jungle, and the fuselage landed on the beach.
Jack awoke in the bamboo forest. He saw Vincent a golden labrador run past him. He stood up injured and quickly checked his wound before realising that he still had the alcohol bottle in his suit. Jack then ran away in the direction he believed the plane and anybody else may be. He ran past someone's shoe in a tree and made it to the beach. He heard screaming from everybody but the loudest was Shannon's. He then heard Jin calling out to his wife Sun in Korean and Micheal calling out to his son Walt. Jack saw Claire alone staring at the wreckage. He then heard a man calling for help trapped under a wheel and called out to Locke and a couple of the other passengers to help. They all got him out and Jack saw the damage, he wished his father was here and not dead because he would know what to do.
Locke came over and said, "I'm a doctor let me take a look at that". Jack was thankful that a doctor was here with them on the island. Locke said, "give me your tie I need to strap this up".
Jack took off his tie and Locke strapped the man's leg. Jack and Locke heard Shannon stop screaming in terror but in pain. Shannon pleaded "help, please, help me". They both saw her on the keeling over in pain and heavily pregnant.
Locke asked Jack, "you what's your name".
Jack answered "Jack".
Locke said "all right Jack get him out of here, get him away from the engine, get him out of here. I need to help her".
Jack nodded and got the man away as Locke who was happy with his now working legs ran as fast as he could to Shannon. Shannon grabbed him and begged "please, please, please help I'm having contractions".
Boone rushed over and said, "Shannon are you okay".
Shannon responded "do you think I look okay Boone. I'm pregnant and having contractions".
Boone looked at Locke and said, "she's my sister, we need to help her".
Locke told him "And we will but I need to help your sister right now, so I need you to check on that woman and see if she's breathing got it". Boone nodded and went to check on Rose.
Locke then asked Shannon, "how many months pregnant are you".
Shannon answered, "I'm nearly eight months".
Locke then asked, "how far apart are they coming".
Shannon answered, "I don't know it just happened". Locke then felt the explosion of the man go into the engine and fell over Shannon.
Locke held her and told her "Listen to me, look at me. You're going to be ok; do you understand me. But you have to sit absolutely still". Shannon groaned in pain, and he saw Boone failure at resuscitating Rose, he saw Hurley looking around "Hey, you come over here, I need you take this woman away from these fumes. Take her over there. Stay with her, if her contractions occur closer than three minutes, call me out to me".
Hurley exclaimed "oh you gotta be kidding me".
Locke told Shannon, "I will be right back".
Shannon told Locke "Thank you".
Hurley then called out to Locke "hey, what's your name".
Locke answered "Locke, John Locke".
Locke then went over to Boone and Rose, he told Boone "Stop, her head's not tilted far back enough, your blowing air into her stomach".
Boone asked "you sure, that's exactly what I was doing. I'm a lifeguard, I'm doing while I'm at college to become a dentist, I'm licensed".
Locke remarked "you need to think about giving that license back". Before smiling at him.
Boone suggested "maybe we should do one of those hole things. Stick the pen in the throat".
Locke remarked sarcastically "yeah good idea, you go get me a pen". Boone left to get a pen.
Locke tried to save Rose and said, "come on, come on, come on". Rose awoke and gasped for air. He had saved Rose and told her "Big deep breaths, deep breaths". He heard the wing collapsing and turned to see Hurley with Shannon underneath it. He raced to warn them shouting "move, move, move. Get her up get her out of there. The wing". Shannon and Hurley got up as quickly as possible and Locke and Hurley helped Shannon away as quickly as possible. The wing fell causing a huge explosion and for them each to fall forwards. Shannon clutched her stomach protectively as Locke asked her "are you okay".
Shannon answered "yeah".
Locke the asked Hurley "you". Hurley nodded and Locke told him "Stay with her".
Hurley responded, "dude I'm not going anywhere".
Locke stood up and looked inside the plane at the destruction. Boone came over with many pens and said, "I didn't know which one would work best".
Locke took them and smiled telling him "They're all good. Thanks".
Jack needed to get himself stitched up which was thankfully someone his father did teach him how to do, because despite not being a doctor knew how to look after himself. Jack looked around for anything to help him in people's luggage. He found a sewing kit in someone's suitcase. He grabbed it and went to a secluded spot nearby where he could. He looked at the wound properly and knew that he would definitely require stitches. He saw Kate walk by and called out to her to see if she could help and she admitted to fixing drapes. He asked for her help in stitching, but she informed him that she used a sewing machine on the drapes. She accepted helping him and remarked to him that he seemed to not be afraid. Jack remarked "well fear's sort of an odd thing. When I went to my father to tell him that I refused to be like him. That being a doctor. I was terrified because that's all he would pressure me to do but I knew I had to deal with it. So, I just made a choice. I'd let the fear in. Let it take over. Let it do its thing but only for 5 seconds. That's all I was gonna give it. So, I started to count. One, Two, Three, Four, Five. And it was gone. I went inside to tell him what I felt".
Kate asked, "how did it go".
Jack answered "not well. He hated me afterwards. I betrayed him. He never thought I was good enough, could handle stuff like he did. But he thought that I would just work extra hard because I was a type of person that needed to work that extra hard to achieve anything. But I was refusing to do that. When all I wanted to do was not be him. Find my own life and my own wants".
Kate said, "well I guess going to your parents is sometimes far scarier than what's happening to us, huh". Jack listened to Kate and accepted this.
Sawyer was smoking on a bit of debris. Shannon was looking at the sea caressing her stomach. Rose was holding her husband's wedding ring. Sayid was building a large signal fire and saw Boone on a phone. Sayid told him "I wouldn't bother man, that's not going to work here".
Boone asked, "hey are you the pilot".
Sayid answered, "one of them I was the co-pilot".
Boone asked "great how do we get rescued. I need to see if I can find the transceiver that will be our best chance but right now it's building a signal fire. So, I need you and hey what's your name".
Charlie answered "me, Charlie".
Sayid said "I need you and Charlie to help with the fire. No one will see it if it isn't big".
Charlie responded "okay I'm on it. What's your name".
Sayid answered "Sayid".
Charlie said "Sayid. I'm on it, Sayid".
That night Charlie, Sayid, and Claire sat together with Claire doing her toes. Charlie said to Sayid "do you have any idea of when they'll come".
Sayid answered, "unfortunately no but we're doing everything we can to be found as quickly as possible".
Charlie remarked "some of us might want them to take their time because we're too busy doing our toes".
Claire responded, "I want to look good for when we are rescued".
Charlie told her "You already look good".
Claire said, "thanks but when the camera's come I need to look my best because this could actually be what gets me into Hollywood".
Charlie responded, "so you want to be a star".
Claire answered "it's why I was on that plane but unfortunately, I've been delayed by this, so I better use my camera time wisely if I want to turn poor plane crash survivor into Hollywood star. I might even be the next Nicole Kidman".
Charlie responded, "it's nice to meet you Nicole, I'm Charlie".
Claire told him "It's Claire actually". They shook hands and she said, "it's nice to meet you Charlie".
Boone came over and sat next to Shannon. He tried to give her a chocolate bar, but she rejected "As if I'm going to start eating chocolate, like I'm not already fat enough".
Boone said "Shannon, we may be here for a while".
Shannon responded, "the plane had a black box idiot. They know exactly where we are, they're coming. So, I'll eat but not that". Boone began to eat it in front of her before leaving.
Hurley came by and sat down next to her with a tray of food. He asked "hungry".
Shannon responded "yeah but no chocolate. I'm already fat enough".
Hurley responded "well at least yours is going to end soon. This here is going to stay with me forever".
Shannon laughed and then thought about the future. She said, "yeah, but when it's out of me, it's still going to be attached to me".
Hurley asked, "anymore uh you know baby stuff".
Shannon responded, "no I'm, I'm okay".
Hurley gave her a meal and cutlery. He then said, "well hang in there".
Shannon responded, "you too".
Micheal was with his son Walt and wanted to know if he was warm enough and Walt nodded to him that he was. Jin told his wife Sun in Korean "You must not leave my sight. You must follow me wherever I go. You must not try to not help the others and only speak English when we have to".
Sun responded in Korean "I know this is a dangerous situation but don't talk to me like that. Like you own me".
Jin responded in Korean, "I'm sorry my love. It's just, it'll be easier for us then to search for the diamonds if we stay out of there way".
Sun slapped his arm and said in Korean "don't talk about it so loud. Someone might hear us. Do you remember what we had to do to get them".
Jin said in Korean "they don't understand us. We could say that our arses are on fire, and they wouldn't understand".
Locke checked out the Marshal's wound but there was nothing he could do for him at the moment.
Sayid was checking on all the passengers when he saw Shannon putting down a blanket before sitting on it. He went over to her and said, "hey do you want a blanket".
Shannon responded, "no thanks I've got one".
Sayid said "well you're warming for two. Take mine since I'm the pilot and my duty is to the passengers even the ones that are still inside their mothers".
Shannon giggled and took the blanket telling him "Thank you".
Sayid said "so, first plane crash".
Shannon responded, "what gave it away".
Sayid said, "you can always spot the newbies".
Shannon giggled again and said, "that's a bit concerning coming from the pilot".
Sayid responded, "it is but I assure you that none of them were my fault. I just need to stop my friends from drink flying". Shannon laughed and Sayid told her "We're going to be okay, you know".
Shannon responded, "you're the pilot so you're the person to ask".
Sayid responded, "that I am". He then said "And you wanna know something. We're alive, on a beautiful island. Tonight, we'll sleep under the stars and before you know it, thanks to me of course the rescue boat will come and take us all home".
Shannon asked pleadingly "you really think they'll find us".
Sayid said confirming "of course because I'm going to do everything to get us off this island".
Shannon smiled and believed him. She told him "Thanks".
Sayid got up to leave when he turned around and said, "my name is Sayid by the way".
Shannon responded "Shannon".
Sayid said, "Shannon stay warm".
Shannon responded, "I will thank you".
Sayid said "anytime".
Jack and Kate talked about the crash and how he blacked out, but Kate admitted that she didn't, she saw the plane rip apart. Jack said, "we need to figure out which way we came in".
Kate asked "why".
Jack answered "because there is a chance, we could find the cockpit. We go out with the pilot of course and he can help us find the transceiver, see if it works or get any other equipment that can help send out a signal, help the rescue party find us".
Kate asked, "how do you know all that".
Jack answered, "I took a couple of flying lessons. Wasn't for me".
Kate told him "I saw some smoke just through the valley". She then said, "if you're thinking about going for the cockpit, I'm going with you".
Jack responded "that's going to be up to the pilot. We crashed here, we're his passengers so he's in charge. And I'm gonna ask to go but that's also up to him, and I'll say that we're both willing to go and help but I don't even know your name".
Kate responded, "I'm Kate".
Jack said "Jack".
They all heard the monster in the jungle, and all got up to stare at the jungle to see if they could see anything.
In the morning, they discuss last night, and Kate went up to Jack and asked, "you ready".
Jack said, "let's go to the pilot and see what he says". Jack and Kate went over to Sayid and Jack told him "Kate saw a trail of smoke headed through the valley; we think it might be the cockpit".
Sayid asked, "really because that would be exactly what we need right now".
Jack answered, "yeah it is, and we want to come with you to find any transceivers or anything that could send a signal".
Sayid told them "She is going to need better shoes but sure we'll go but only the three of us. I want as many people to stay on this beach as possible".
Kate got shoes off a corpse and was watched by Locke who smiled at her with an orange in his mouth.
Claire, Charlie, Shannon, Boone, Micheal, and Walt were still discussing the monster when Hurley came over them and wanted to ask if anybody was doing anything about the bodies in the fuselage. Sayid and Jack came over with Sayid telling them that it sounded like a good idea and Jack telling them "We're gonna go out and look for the cockpit. See if we can find a transceiver to send a distress signal".
Hurley said "I'll come with you guys. I wanna help".
Sayid rejected "we don't need any more help Hurley. In fact, I want as many people as possible here for when rescue does come".
Hurley sorrowfully accepted and Sayid, Jack, and Kate went out into the jungle through the valley. Kate asked Sayid "so how is it being the pilot in a plane crash".
Sayid answered "not good because everyone turns to you to know what happened. And it's worse if your, me".
Kate responded, "sorry I was not trying to make it sound like this is your fault or be insensitive".
Sayid responded "it's okay I know you weren't. It's just that others might not be so sensitive as you".
Kate said "trust me I'll make sure they aren't. If anyone tries anything I'll use what I learned in the force on them".
Sayid asked, "so you're a policewoman".
Kate answered "I was but I'm not anymore. It's sort of how I ended up here"
They continued to walk and were being watched by Vincent. A rainstorm came over the island and the entire beach came ran for cover. Under the wing Claire, Rose, and Charlie saw the monster moving through the jungle again. Jack, Kate, and Sayid find the cockpit and enter. Sayid tells them "Okay. I'll enter first and you follow me. We might need force to pry the door to the cockpit open". They accepted and all three began to climb up navigating their way through the bodies. Sayid tried to get the door open but couldn't so got the fire extinguisher and banged the handle until the door opened. Sayid made his way through the door and Jack turned to Kate and told her that she didn't need to come up here, but she wanted to. Sayid grabbed the transceiver from behind the pilot and said to "we got it, now let's leave these poor souls to rest and Seth you were a great pilot to fly besides. Go have your peace". Seth awoke and it startled them all. Sayid went over and said "Seth, Seth, can you hear me". Sayid then said to Jack and Kate "I need that water". Kate grabbed it and passed it to him. Sayid said, "here you go Seth, drink up mate, you're gonna need it" as he poured water into his mouth.
Seth coughed up water and said "Sayid, you made it, you survived".
Sayid answered "yeah, we did mate. There are at least 48 survivors. I got the rest of them to stay at the beach, but how are you feeling".
Seth answered, "a little dizzy but I'll be alright". He then asked, "how long has it been".
Sayid answered, "Sixteen hours".
Seth asked, "has anybody come".
Sayid answered, "no we came for the receiver, to be found".
Seth asked, "do they know".
Sayid answered, "no thought it was best to keep that to myself until I found the receiver".
Kate asked "what, what didn't you tell us".
Sayid responded, "I'll tell everybody once we get back to the beach".
Kate said "if you're keeping something from us. Then I would like to know".
Sayid said "Six hours into the flight our radio went out, nobody could see us, so we turned back to land in Fiji. But then we hit turbulence and went down. At that stage we were a thousand miles off course so the rescue team will be looking for us in the wrong place. Now with this we can actually be found so until I found it, I didn't want to have around 50 people running scared thinking that they were gonna die because that's when they would die".
Kate said "you should've told us. Not kept this a secret like we were stupid".
Sayid told her "My duty is to keep you all safe and that's what I did so now no one can panic because we now have a chance to be found".
Jack said "Sayid's right. It was better for everybody to not know until we had that because if he told them the truth, they would have panicked and not cooperated which would have made it harder for him to find this and actually save us".
Sayid responded, "thank you Jack".
Kate was annoyed that Jack didn't agree with her and said, "now does that thing actually work".
Sayid checked it and said "blast it's not. I need time to work on it".
Jack said, "okay we'll get back to the beach and you can work on it".
They then heard the monster outside Sayid and Jack tried to look at it but couldn't see it. Seth stuck his head out the broken window and was taken by the monster. All of them were terrified as they saw Seth's blood be splattered against the window. The monster than attacked the cockpit and it sent it to the ground. All three then ran away from it. They ran outside the cockpit and into the jungle. On their way Sayid trip and Jack who was behind him picked him up and said, "okay let's run".
Kate ran to the inside of a tree. She called out for Jack but couldn't see him or Sayid. She was terrified and did like Jack said let the fear in for five seconds. She counted to five and heard noises before Sayid came up behind her and said "Kate".
She panicked and pushed him to the ground and asked, "where the hell's Jack".
Sayid answered, "I don't know".
Kate asked, "did you see him".
Sayid answered, "yeah he pulled me up".
Kate asked, "where is he".
Sayid answered, "I don't know".
Kate asked, "how can you not know".
Sayid answered, "we got separated. I fell down and he picked me up. That thing was just".
Kate asked, "did you see it".
Sayid answered "no, no but it was right there. We, we were dead. I was and Jack picked me up. I don't know where he is".
The rain stopped and Kate said, "we have to go back for him".
Sayid responded "go back, there. Kate there is a monster out there that ripped my friend apart and I'm not losing anymore of you to it".
Kate responded, "then it's a good thing I'm not listening to you".
Sayid chased after calling out "Kate, Kate, don't go". He then relented and said, "ah hell" before following her. They went looking for Jack until Kate stopped and picked up the pilot's wings badge. Sayid remarked "that's Seth wings but where is he". They both saw Seth's reflection in the water and looked up to see his dead body. Sayid exclaimed "Seth".
Jack came by and said, "yeah it's the pilot".
Kate asked Jack "did you see it".
Jack answered, "no. It was right behind me, but I dove into the bushes".
Sayid continuing to look at Seth remarked "how can that be possible. How can that happen".
Shannon and Claire were sunbathing when Boone came over to Shannon and said, "hey. We're going through some clothes. Sorting them. I see you found your bag. Come on you wanna give us a hand".
Shannon answered "not really. You're wasting your time. They're coming. And even if I wanted to help, do you know how fucking difficult it is to get up because in case you've forgotten I'm pregnant".
Boone said, "just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you get to sit on your arse and do nothing".
Boone walked away and Claire asked Shannon "is that your boyfriend, the baby's father".
Shannon answered "eww God no, it's my brother. Boone. God's friggin gift to humanity and oh don't forget dental hygiene".
Claire asked, "do you know what it is".
Shannon answered "not yet. All I do know is that it's currently occupying my stomach and ruining my sunbathing". Shannon then became nervous and said, "But I haven't felt the baby move since yesterday".
Claire didn't know how to responded but said trying to sound cheerful "I'm sure it's okay. Just resting after the hard day, we had yesterday".
Shannon looked at her stomach and responded, "yeah that's probably it".
Claire said "Well, I better go help out". Claire got up and told Shannon "Don't worry. It'll be all right". Claire left and Shannon caressed her stomach nervously.
Jin and Sun were fishing when Micheal came over, looking for Walt. Sun said "my husband doesn't speak English very well. I'm a lot better but I do not know where your son is".
Micheal responded, "thank you and if you see please send him back to the beach and tell me".
Sun responded, "of course isn't that right Jin". Jin turned looking to hear what Sun had said. She said in Korean "if we find his son, we will tell him".
Jin said to Micheal "yes".
Micheal said, "thank you". Walt was looking for Vincent when he found handcuffs. Micheal came over and yelled at him for leaving the beach. Micheal then saw the handcuffs and Walt told him that he found them. Micheal took them and went back to the beach to tell everyone. Sayid, Jack, and Kate returned to the beach and as soon as Micheal saw them, he went up to them and said, "look at what my kid found in the jungle".
Sayid said "that's not important right now. What is, is this. The transceiver. It's not working but I can get it to work I just need time. Now I have to admit to something. I didn't tell you everything I knew when we crashed. I wanted you all to stay calm until I got this. This can save us, get us rescued. Six hours during the flight our radio went down, and nobody could see us. So, we turned back to land in Fiji. Then we hit turbulence and crashed. When we did, we were a thousand miles off course. So, without this, they will be looking in the wrong place. I'm sorry I lied but I did it for you, you are my responsibility while we are here. It was the only way for me to get this so we can be found. But now I've found it I'm being open and honest with all of you".
Sawyer said "no we don't buddy. You lied about our survival, what else have you been lying about".
Sayid said "I'm sorry. I didn't like doing it but trust me it was only to keep you all calm while I did save us. I would never put you in danger or give you false hope".
Sawyer said "now I also want to know if you really are the pilot. Why are you here and not the cockpit because if you really were the pilot then you would be there and not here so how did you end up here".
Sayid asked, "what are you accusing me of".
Sawyer said "maybe the reason you're here and survived was because you knew the plane was going to go down and put yourself into a position where you would survive. So, you either are the pilot or pretending to be the real one but whatever the case I believe you brought the plane down".
Sayid said "you fucking redneck" before he punched Sawyer and Sawyer tried to fight back but they were dragged apart Jack and Micheal.
Jack said, "that's enough".
Sawyer and Sayid both stopped fighting and Kate said, "we need to work together to get off this island and not accuse each other of ridiculous things".
Sawyer responded "hey Freckles I was just calling it like I see it. There is no way he could have ended up on the beach with us without being a terrorist".
Kate went up to his face and said, "call him that one more time and I will punch you 50 times harder than he did".
Sawyer remarked "well Freckles as much as I would enjoy that. I'm going to listen to you if he gives us an answer".
Hurley said "hey Kate's right we're all in this together man. Let's treat each other with a little respect".
Sawyer responded, "shut up, Lardo".
Jack said "hey, give it a break".
Sawyer responded "whatever you say. You're the hero. But I still want that answer".
Sayid said "you don't deserve it but the sole reason to shut you up. I was flung from the cockpit during the crash. I landed here with the rest of you. That's it".
Jack said, "see there's your answer so are you going to leave him alone and let him rescue us or continue to be an annoying prick and delay him any further".
Sawyer responded, "whatever mate" and left.
Boone asked about survivors and Jack looked to Sayid before telling Boone there wasn't any. Sayid then said, "now with a little bit of time I can actually fix this and get us off this island".
Sayid went to fix it while Hurley came over and complained about Sawyer before telling him that he liked him before introducing himself to Sayid and Sayid did the same to him. Hurley asked, "how do you know how to do all that, is that what you learn when becoming a pilot".
Sayid answered, "no I learned this when I was a military communications officer". Hurley asked if he ever saw battle and Sayid answered that he fought in the gulf war. Hurley asked if he was Airforce or the Army. Sayid answered that he was in the Republican Guard which Hurley realised that Sayid was actually fighting the US.
Kate was bathing in the sea when Sun came over and said "Sayid needs you. It's about the transceiver".
Kate acknowledged and said "thanks". Kate got out and quickly dressed before going to Sayid and wanted to know if it was working. Sayid told her that it was but that they needed reception otherwise they would be broadcasting blind and just hope that it works but that would just waste the battery which might not last long. So, the only thing then can try is getting to the highest point on the island. Kate said "you know what's out there. That thing. And I thought you didn't want people going away from the beach".
Sayid said "this will save us, so I'm willing to risk it because our only safety from that thing is getting off this island. And I'm sorry to say but I don't think it makes a difference whether we are here or out there".
Kate responded, "I hate to say this, but I think you're right".
Sayid responded, "and I hate being right even more".
Kate went up to Jack and told him that she was going on a hike with Sayid to get a signal for the transceiver. Jack reminded her of what it did to the pilot and asked him about them being safer here than they are in the jungle. Jack said, "then I'm coming with you because neither of you are going in that jungle without me".
Jin and Sun were making sea urchin for everyone, and Sun asked in Korean "why do we need to do this, can't we just go look for the bag".
Jin said in Korean "if we want them to leave us alone. We need to do something nice for them. Look like we're trying to help. Then we will have all the time we need while we're look to look for the bag".
Sun told him in Korean "you know how important those diamonds are to me. What they can do for us".
Jin answered in Korean, "I know that's why we need to do this".
Jin went over and tried to give some to Hurley, but he refused so Jin walked away going to other people on the island. Micheal came over and spoke to Walt about his comic book before saying that when they get home, he will get him another dog. Locke came over to Hurley and said, "hey I need you help".
Hurley responded "okay".
Locke said "I need you to help me go through the luggage. I need any kind of prescription medications you can find especially drugs that end in 'mycin' and 'cillin'. Those are antibiotics".
Hurley asked, "what's this for".
Boone walked over to a crying Shannon and asked, "what are you doing".
Shannon said, "I think I was mean to him".
Boone confused exclaimed "what".
Shannon said "you know that guy from the gate. He wouldn't let us have our seats in First Class. He saved our lives".
Boone said "I know you're pregnant so you can't help with this or would even if you weren't, but I need to go clear some of the wreckage. So at least stop staring at bodies".
Shannon responded, "I've just been through a trauma here, okay".
Boone responded, "we've all been through a trauma".
Shannon got up slowly and yelled "You know nothing of what I'm going through so piss off leave me alone". She then saw Sayid, Jack, and Kate going out on the hike and said, "go with them, on that brave heroic hike since you're such a hero".
Boone responded "you know what maybe I will. At least I won't have to deal with my sister who got pregnant at twenty".
Shannon was shocked and appalled by his statement and yelled "fuck off".
Shannon then moved as quickly as she possibly could away from him. Boone went over to Kate, Jack, and Sayid and said "hey, you're going on the hike. I'm coming along".
Before any of them could reject him, Claire said "we'll go. We wanna come as well".
Charlie said, "you mean the hike into the jungle, yeah should be good".
Jack said, "guys we don't know what's out there".
Claire responded, "that's right we don't, but we know something is out there and it's better than being terrified of what's in the jungle".
Kate said, "look everybody can come but we're leaving now".
They all left and Sawyer who was smoking while reading the letter that he had saw them. He decided to go with them and followed them into the jungle. Kate remarked about him joining them and Sawyer remarked that he's a complex guy. On their climb up Sayid was leading was leading the group of seven. Sawyer saw Kate struggling and help her up, while Boone and Charlie did the same for Claire. Locke was looking through luggage when Micheal asked, "what are you looking for".
Locke answered "some sort of blade. I don't think the knives that I checked in would be best for his situation, but I can't find it either". He then asked, "how's your son".
Micheal responded "Walt. Yeah, I think he'll be all right".
Locke asked, "how old is he".
Micheal answered "Nine, Ten, Ten". Micheal then said, "Walt's more worried about his dog than anything. The dog was on the plane so. Kids you know".
Locke found a blade that would help him and said "well I'm sure it just ran out into the jungle after the crash. Dogs usually wander back when they feel like it".
Micheal responded, "hope so because I hate him being all depressed like this".
Locke told him "Well be patient I'm sure that miracle is gonna come any moment now".
Micheal responded, "you're a doctor looking after that poor man over there how can you believe in miracles".
Locke answered "because a miracle happened to me, and I hope it happens to him, but I know it'll happen for you. Good luck".
Micheal responded "yeah thanks" not believing a word he said about miracles.
Jin went up to Shannon who was sitting on one of the planes chairs staring out at the ocean. Jin tried to get her to eat the fix the sea urchin he made and since he spoke in Korean, she didn't understand him but knew he wanted her to eat it. Shannon responded "no, I'm fine, no that's okay". Jin spoke to her in Korean about her stomach and she rejected him again "no". Jin tried again and she relented and said "okay if it'll get you to stop. Thank you". Shannon picked up a piece she thought was best and ate it. She enjoyed it and then felt the baby move. She clutched her stomach and said, "oh God". She then said with relief and joy "I just felt it". She then said, "I just, come here feel this". Jin tried to reject her, but she said, "feel this please". She then place his hand on her stomach and said, "do you feel that that right there. That's a kick". She then squealed "there. There right there's a foot. Oh my god, wait, he's moving around. He's". Jin fled as quickly as possible and Shannon looked at her stomach and realised to herself what she said, she said "He. He. I guess a think you're a he". Shannon then realised that despite how she felt about the baby ruining her figure, making her fat, the sole reason she was that plane. She was panicked when she couldn't feel it and now, she has, it filled her with joy and relief, something that she would never think she would feel towards it.
On the trek Sawyer wanted Sayid to check the radio because they were in a wide-open space but Sayid rejected him because the mountains were blocking them so they would have no reception. Sawyer demanded that he checked the radio. Sayid yelled back that he can't because if he did, they would lose all the power they had. They all heard something, and Claire exclaimed "oh my god that's the thing". They all realised it was coming towards them and ran away but Sawyer stayed behind. Kate tried to go back for him, but Sayid stopped her. Sawyer then pulled out the Marshal's gun which he took from him after the crash and shot whatever was coming towards them 9 times before it fell. They all came back, and Claire said, "that's a massive bear".
Charlie asked, "was that what we heard coming from the jungle".
Boone asked, "yeah did that kill the other pilot".
Kate said "guys, this isn't just a bear. It's a polar bear".
Locke and Hurley were together with the Marshal and Hurley asked, "you sure he's out".
Locke confirmed "he's out".
Hurley asked, "how do you know he won't wake up when you yank that thing out".
Locke answered, "I don't".
Hurely attempted to wake the Marshal by pretending that rescue had arrived and when he didn't it confirmed to him that he really was out. Hurley then asked Locke "so what do you want me".
Locke told him "Look it's unlikely he'll regain consciousness, but the pain might bring him around, and if it does. I need you to hold him down".
Hurley told him "Uh I'm not so good around blood, man".
Locke told him "Then don't look".
Hurley responded "yeah. But I'm not so good around blood".
Locke told him "Just do the best you can okay". Hurley held the Marshal and panicked. Locke told him "Don't look".
Hurley mumbled "okay". Locke pulled it out and Hurley groaned before exclaiming "dude".
Locke told him "Hand me those strips".
Hurley exclaimed "dude".
Locke said urgently "just hand me the strips. I need to get this bleeding stopped".
Hurley responded, "I don't think I can".
Locke looked at it and said "oh".
Hurley looked down and asked, "oh what. What. What is going on".
Locke told him "Just hand me the strips. Give it to me. Hey, don't even think about it Hurley. Don't even think it. Hurley, hey". Hurley collapsed on top of the Marshal and Locke exclaimed "damn it".
Boone remarked "that can't be a polar bear".
Jack, Kate, and Sayid all said in unison "it's a polar bear".
Claire said, "I didn't think polar bears lived in the jungle".
Charlie responded, "spot on".
Sayid said, "no. Polar bears don't live near this far south".
Boone remarked "this one does".
Sawyer said "did. It did".
Jack said sarcastically "thanks for clearing that up"
Kate asked him about the gun, but he thought he was talking about the bear and remarked that it came from bear village. Kate clarified that she was talking about the gun. Sawyer told everyone that he got it off one of the bodies. Claire said, "but guns aren't allowed on planes anymore".
Sawyer responded, "they are if whoever is carrying them happens to be a U.S Marshal, Aussie Barbie". He then said, "there was one on the plane".
Kate asked, "how do you know that".
Sawyer said "I saw a guy lying there with an ankle holster, so I took the gun, I thought it might come in handy. Guess what, I just shot a bear".
Kate asked, "so why do you think he's a Marshal".
Sawyer answered "because he had a clip- on badge. I took that too. Thought it was cool".'
Sayid responded, "I know who you are. You're the prisoner".
Sawyer responded, "I'm the what".
Sayid said "you found a gun on a U.S. Marshal. Yes, I believe you did. You knew where it was, because you were the one he was bringing back to the States. Those handcuffs were on you. That's how you knew there was a gun, that's why when we came back you instantly accused me of being a terrorist".
Sawyer responded, "piss off".
Sayid said, "that's who you are, you son of a".
Sawyer interrupted "Be as suspicious of me as I am of you".
Sayid said, "you are the prisoner".
Sawyer responded, "fine I'm the criminal but you're the terrorist pilot we can all play a part". He then said to Claire "who do you wanna be".
Kate then pulled the gun of Sawyer and Sayid said, "don't waste it on him".
Sawyer responded, "easy Mohammed she probably doesn't even know how to use it".
Sayid smiled and said, "she's a cop".
Sawyer asked, "is that true sweet cheeks".
Kate answered "yeah, it's true and now". Kate unloaded the gun and then said, "you can have it back".
As she passed it to him, he pulled her in close and said to her "I know your type".
Kate responded, "I'm not so sure".
Sawyer told her "Yeah, I've been with girls like you".
Kate told him "No girl's exactly like me".
Sawyer grinned and Jack went over to Kate and said "ignore him. He's just trying to get in your head".
Kate responded, "I'm quite aware".
Jack responded "then don't let him. It's what he wants".
Kate said, "That's why I'm not punching him like I said earlier".
Locke tried to fix the Marshal while Hurley lay unconscious besides him. The Marshal awoke and groaned. Locke exclaimed "no".
The Marshal grabbed him and said, "where is he".
Locke asked "who".
Sayid checked the radio because they were up higher. He realised they had a bar and called everyone over. Sayid tried to call for help but heard feedback because something else on the island is transmitting. Sayid tried to listen, but Sawyer rejected Sayid idea of a transmission. Kate said, "shut up".
Jack continued "yeah for once, please shut up and let Sayid work".
Charlie said, "the rescue party, it has to be".
Claire said, "oh please let it be".
They heard the transmission, and it was Rousseau's a French woman. Sayid asked, "does anybody speak French".
Boone said, "my sister does but she's not here".
Sayid remarked "well that's great but does anybody here speak French".
Nobody answered and the radio said, "iteration 17294532".
Charlie asked "okay, what's that".
Sayid said "well I know a little. I learned some when I was flying to French speaking Africa". Sayid then looked at the transceiver and realised that it was dying. Sayid said, "I have to listen really close". He put the transceiver in his ear and listened to the message. Sayid said "it's, it's repeating. It's on a loop. Iteration means repeating the same message. It's a counter. The next number will end 533". They all listened to it saying exactly that. Sawyer wanted to know what he was saying, and Sayid told him annoyed it's the number of times the message has repeated. He then quickly calculated it before gasping and listening to the message. He told them "Please help me, please come get me. I'm alone now. I'm on the island alone. Please someone come. The others, they're. They're dead. It killed them. It killed them all".
Jack told him "Good work Sayid".
Sayid said, "Wait. Let me do those calculations again I need to make sure". He then thought about the length of the message and how many times it repeated and said, "sixteen years".
Boone exclaimed "what".
Sayid said "sixteen years and five months. That's the count".
Boone wanted to know what he was saying, and Sayid told them that this was a distress call that's been running continuously for the last sixteen years. They all panicked about what they heard and what happened to the French woman.
