But the rest of them are people we havent been introduced toyet. They are eating and drinking together, forgetting all of thetroubles. The camera focuses on Charlie as he talks to a blonde

haired girl.

Charlie:Nikki, you look familiar. You been on TV or something?

Nikki:Yeah, I was in that show Expos actually.

Charlie:Really, whoa! We have a celebrity here people.

The group laughs.

Charlie:Now, now girls. Rose, have you even been on TV or something?

You seem familiar. I think I remember seeing your photo on thenews for some reason...

Rose:Erm, no. Never been on TV in my life.

The camera focuses on Roses face as she looks incrediblyuncomfortable. She decides to change the subject.

Rose:So what does everyone else do back home?

We see a man sat beside Nikki with his arm around her.

Nikki:Paulos a chef, arent you honey?

Nikki kisses Paulo before he says:

Paulo:Sure am. Although its not that exciting.

Man #1:And Im a high school teacher.

Rose:What subject do you teach, Leslie?

Leslie:I prefer to go by my surname, Artz. I dont like Leslie. But I

A silence falls over the camp as the camera fades to black.

-LOST-Commercial Break

Flashback. Apartment. LA. Day.

We see Michael sat down on a sofa beside a black haired

woman. The two of them are drinking wine, talking andlaughing. The atmosphere is very relaxed.

Michael:Susan, I cant believe how fast this past year with you has

gone!

Susan:I know, neither can I. Its been amazing Michael.

They both smile and chink their glasses together.

Michael:It sure has, Susan.

Susan:Did you hear anything about that job by the way? The one at

the construction site?

Michael:


4/13

No, not yet. They said it could take to the end of the week toget back to me though.

Susan:

Oh, well I hope you get it. Were going to need all of the moneywe can get if were going to start for a baby.

The camera focuses on Susans face looking worried as theflashback sound is heard...

Exterior. Beach. Night.

The camera focuses on the helicopter which is covered in

shadow from the trees before panning around to show Claire,Michael and Luke stood before Sawyer and Howard.

Luke:Look, whats going on guys?

Sawyer:(To Howard) What time did they say they were coming?

Howard:About half nine.

Howard checks his wristwatch and then looks into the jungle.

Howard:They should be here any moment.

We here rustling coming from the forest and the camera turnstoo show several people walking out of it. They are all hidden in

the shadows however so we dont see any of their faces. Thecamera pans back round to Michael as something dawns on

him.

Michael:Wait... you didnt have anything to do with Walt going missing

did you?

Howard:(Sarcastically) Well done, Michael.

Sawyer laughs, watching the people that exited the jungle asthey make their way towards them.

Michael:You son of a bitch!

Michael launches himself at Sawyer who falls to the floor.Michael repeatedly hits Sawyer in the face until Howard pullshim off and throws him to the floor. Sawyer stands up as thepeople form the jungle arrive. We recognise one of them as

Tom, the person who Sawyer was talking too from hisflashback.

Tom:Is that all of them?

Sawyer:Sure is, boss.

Tom:Excellent work, James. And did you get the list?

Sawyer:Yeah, here it is.

Sawyer hands Tom a piece of paper who quickly glances at itbefore putting it into his pocket.

Tom:Excellent. He will be happy.

Tom glances at Claire, Michael and Luke and says rather lazily:

Tom:Bag em.

Three of the other people who came from the jungle walk up toClaire, Michael and Luke and thrust dark bags over their heads

as Tom continues:

Tom:


6/13

Cmon, lets go.

Tom begins to walk off into the jungle as the camera cuts to:

Exterior. Jungle. Night.

We see Jack and Kate walking fast but quietly through thejungle.

Kate:What are we going to do when we catch up to them, Jack?

Jack:

I havent thought of that yet. But I will.

Kate doesnt look very convinced as she follows Jack into thedarkness. The camera cuts to:

Exterior.Jungle. Night.

We see Claire, Michael and Luke being led through the junglewith bags over their heads. Sawyer, Howard and Tom are in the

lead and the rest of the random people that came out of thejungle are at the back. The camera zooms into Michael as theflashback sound is heard...

Flashback. Michaels Apartment. LA. Day.

Michael is sat on the sofa again, this time with a small child.The child is about 2 years old. The door opens and Susan walks

in, dressed in a smart suit. She smiles briefly when she seesMichael and Walt before talking her jacket off and walking

towards them.

Susan:Youre a natural.

Michael:Thanks.

Michael smiles at Susan as he continues to play with little Walt.

Michael:How was your interview?

Susan:

I didnt get it. Brain, the interview, said I wasnt what they werelooking for.

Michael stands up and walks over to Susan. He hugs her.

Michael:Dont worry, babe. It will happen.

Susan:

Michael:Yeah, just you wait. Its not like were desperate for money

anyway. With my construction work, and my paintings... weveenough money for the moment.

Susan:Yeah...

Susan smiles at Michael, looking reassured slightly as shebegins to play with Walt. The flashback sound is heard...

Exterior. Beach. Day.

The camera is focused on the jungle as we see Hurley, Libbyand Nadia walk out of the jungle. Their backpacks are now

bulging full of food and water. They put their bags down near apile of stuff that was salvaged from the planes crash. Sayid

rushes straight over to them and hugs Nadia.

Sayid:What took you so long? Youve been gone for ages!

Nadia:You know the monster thing in the jungle? Well... we were

chased by it!

Sayid:


8/13

What?! Are you ok?

Hurley:Were all ok, dude.

Hurley looks around the camp.

Hurley:They back yet? Jack, Kate... Claire, Michael? Any of them?

The four of them turn to look at the jungle with worried facesas the camera fades to black.

Commercial Break.

Flashback. Cemetery. LA. Day.

Susan Dawson, Michaels wife and Walts mother! We can heresomeone speaking (a priest) faintly. The camera pans over toshow a fully grown Walt (roughly 10), stood staring into the

grave. Pan further along, we see Michael stood beside Walt. Hiseyes are wet and his arm is around Walt. The priest finishes

talking and the rest of the people at the grave move off,leaving Walt and Michael stood there.

Michael:Walt... Im so sorry.

Walt:Yeah.

Michael:Is there anything I can do for you?

Walt shrugs, obviously not wanting to talk much.

Michael:

A holiday. How about a holiday? Australia, youve alwayswanted to go there, yeah?

Again, Walt doesnt talk. The camera focuses on his face as he

is close to tears. The flashback sound is heard...

Exterior. Jungle. Day.

Again, we see Claire, Michael and Luke being led through thejungle. Sawyer, Tom and Howard are still in the lead, talking

quietly. Suddenly the three of them stop walking, causingClaire, Michael and Luke to stop walking.

The random people at the back move forward and removes thehoods from Claire, Michael and Luke and one of them hands

Claire a water bottle.

She is bent over, looking for something on the ground. Seereaches forward and pulls something. A trap door opens under

ground. We hear rustling and Jack and Kate turn round. Thecamera follows them and we see the man stood there, swathedin darkness. He takes his rifle out and smacks Jack and Kate inthe head. They fall to the floor as the camera fades to black.

Commercial break.

Exterior. Jungle. Dawn.

Tom, Sawyer and Howard eventually slow down and stop. Therandom people lead Claire, Michael and Sawyer forward slightlyand take their hoods off. They blink several times as their eyes

become accustomed to the light.

Tom:Were here...

The camera pans round slowly but before we see where exactlyhere is the flashback sound is heard...

Flashback. Sydney Airport. Morning.

We see Michael and Walt sat down in the waiting area. Walt isplaying on a hand held game console and Michael is looking at

a newspaper. They both have their heads bent low as Lockewheels past them in his wheelchair. They dont see each other.

Michael turns to Walt.

Michael:How are you now Walt? Feeling better since we came here?

Walt:(Looking up from his game) Yeah, a little. Thanks Dad.

They both smile at each other.

Michael:We wont ever forget her, Walt. So I dont want you thinking

that we will.

Walt:I know.

Michael:I love you, son.

Walt:I love you too, Dad.

Walt goes back to playing on his game and Michael goes back

to reading his newspaper. The flashback sound is heard...

Interior. Underground Bunker. Dawn.

The camera shows Jack and Kate tied up on a metal bedwithout a mattress. Theyre both unconscious. After a moment,Jack stirs. He wakes up, soon followed by Kate. They both look

around the room. We hear movement coming from their leftand they both turn to look. The camera follows their gaze and

we see the woman stood in the shadows. She walks slowly outof them. She says to them in a European accent:

Woman:Where is Alex?

Jack:Alex? Whos Alex?

The woman moves over to something that is hidden behind apile of boxes. She fiddles with something and the camera pansback to Jack and Kate. Theyre being electrocuted! The camerastays on their faces for a moment, both in pain as the camera
