COINCIDENTIAL AND UNINTENDED

(Assuming new season after “What They Died For”)

NOTE: I used more directions for character’s movements than

usual in a script, as, since this is not going to be filmed,

I wanted to keep the characters interesting and deep. So, I

had to give specific directions for how the actors would

look on screen, ie shocked, weary, teary, etc)

Previously on Lost:

A plane crashes

Boone/Shannon/Locke etc die (shots of multiple deaths)

Charles: “There’s a war coming, John...”

Jacob gives Jack the drink to make him the next protector

MIB: “I’m gonna destroy the island.”

ACT 1, SCENE 1

THE SHOT BEGINS WITH A CLOSED DOOR, AGED AND DUSTY. MOMENTS

PASS, WHEN IT IS SUDDENLY SLAMMED OPEN, AND BENJAMIN LINUS

STUMBLES IN, FOLLOWED BY SAWYER. THE SKY OUTSIDE IS PURPLE.

BLOODSOAKED AND CARRYING A SHOTGUN AND PISTOL RESPECTIVELY,

BEN AND SAWYER MOVE QUICKLY AROUND THE DOOR, AND SLAM IT,

LOCKING IT SHUT. THEY QUICKLY MOVES TO A CABINET NEAR THE

WALL, AND PULL IT IN FRONT OF THE DOOR WITH EFFORT, BEN

FINALLY COLLAPSING IN FRONT OF IT, PANTING HARD. SAWYER

STANDS OVER HIM, A DARK LOOK ON HIS FACE AS HE STARES AT THE

DOOR.

SAWYER

Did you see, did they--

BEN

I don’t know, I thought they were

behind us. Why would I have seen

them? I was running just as fast as

you, James.

SAWYER (SIGHING WITH ANGER AND

EXHAUSTION)

Damn it...wait here, Rambo, I’ll

check if it’s clean.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 2.

Ben nods as Sawyer slowly begins walking through the house,

pistol in hand. We see that it is Ben’s house at the

Barracks, everything still as it was. Even the Risk game is

untouched. Tension builds as silence prevails for a few

seconds. As Sawyer moves into another room, we see another

shot of Ben, looking up suddenly at a thumping noise. His

eyes widen as he stands and runs into the living room.

BEN

James--watch out, their here!

The camera turns to see a shadowy figure in the dark, slowly

walking towards him. Ben shoots the shotgun mercilessly,

cocking between shots. One, two, three fires and we see a

figure fall as he moans, crashing onto the Risk game and

scattering the pieces everywhere. Sawyer runs in and looks

down. His eyes close as he turns away in disgust and

sadness.

SAWYER

Damn it, not him too...

THE CAMERA TURNS SLOWLY TO THE DEAD FIGURE ON THE GROUND,

WHO IS REVEALED TO BE MR. EKO.

ACT 2, SCENE 1

IT IS NIGHT. JACK, KATE, HURLEY, AND SAWYER ARE WALKING

THROUGH THE JUNGLE. HURLEY TURNS TO JACK.

HURLEY

So what it’s like, dude?

JACK

What d’you mean?

SAWYER

You know what he means, Doc.

Jack stops and glances at Sawyer for a moment.

JACK

I don’t know what you want me to

say, Hurley. I feel the same.

HURLEY

But...you don’t feel, like,

enlightened? Aren’t you supposed to

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 3.

HURLEY (cont’d)be a god or something now, like

Jacob?

JACK

He wasn’t a god, Hurley. And I

might be the protector, but I’m

still the same Jack.

HURLEY

No, I don’t think you are. The old

Jack wouldn’t have drank from that

cup.

KATE (NERVOUSLY)

Guys, shut up. Someone’s coming.

THE FOUR TURN TO LOOK AT THE FOREST, AND FROM THE LEAVES

WALKS A BLOODY RICHARD, STILL LIMPING FROM THE MONSTER’S

THROW. SAWYER STANDS STILL, STARING AT HIM.

RICHARD (WEAKLY)

Thank God I’ve found you. It was

Him. He attacked me. He didn’t even

let me talk.

JACK

Where’ve you been? Where are Ben

and Miles?

RICHARD

Ben’s with the Man in Black. I saw

them leaving together. I don’t know

what happened to Miles. I-

Suddenly, Sawyer leaps at Richard, punching him in the face.

He falls to the ground. Hurley shouts and Kate grabs Sawyer,

holding him back from another attack. Jack leans down to

look at the unconscious Richard, and glances up at Sawyer

JACK (ANGRILY)

What the hell was that, Sawyer?

SAWYER (UPSET AND ANGRY)

It was him! That son of a bitch put

the C4 on the plane! He made that

sub blow up! If he hadn’t run off,

they’d still be alive!

JACK

You don’t know that, Sawyer.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 4.

SAWYER (TRYING TO SHOVE OFF KATE)

I DO KNOW! I’m gonna kill him, damn

it! He did this!

HURLEY

Stop fighting, Sawyer. It’s my

fault.

Sawyer pauses and stares at Hurley. Jack shakes his head.

JACK

No, Hurley, it’s the Man in Black’s

fault. You know that.

HURLEY

If I hadn’t lead you all to Him,

none of this ever would have

happened. I shouldn’t have tried to

be a leader, Jack.

SAWYER (SOFTLY)

Shut up, Hugo. Jack’s right. It’s

His fault, not ours. And I’m gonna

kill him for it.

He walks off into the jungle. Kate stares for a moment, then

follows him. Jack and Hurley are left to pick up Richard.

HURLEY (TO JACK)

It wasn’t my fault, was it, Jack?

JACK

No. And don’t ever think that.

Hurley nods slowly, and the two of them lift up Richard’s

unconscious form and follow Sawyer and Kate.

ACT 2, SCENE 2

Ben and the Man in Black are still standing over the well.

Ben is staring at the Man in Black.

MAN IN BLACK(TURNING)

What is it, Benjamin?

BEN

What did you mean, destroy the

island? Do you even have a plan at

all?

The MIB pulls out a knife and begins to clean it

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 5.

MAN IN BLACK

You know, Ben, I’ve been on this

island for a long time. Longer than

you can ever begin to imagine. And,

I’ve had time to think. There are

more thoughts in my head right now

than you will have in a lifetime.

And I can tell you for a fact that

I do have a plan. And so far, it’s

going perfectly.

The MIB slips the knife away and sits on a log.

MAN IN BLACK

You know, when I was a boy, my

mother showed me something that

couldn’t exist. She showed me a

glowing light in a cave full of

water. She said "Every man has some

of it, but they always want more."

My own brother threw me in that

same light, and I got more of it

than I ever wanted. That’s why I am

what I am. Dead.

BEN (LOOKING AT HIM IN SHOCK)

What? That’s impossible. Dead is

dead.

MAN IN BLACK

Usually. In my case, though, it

isn’t. I can take you to see my

body in the caves, if you’d like.

(Pause) Anyway, that was what got

me thinking. This light, you call

it electromagnatism, it gave me

something worse than death. It gave

me cursed life. So, why would any

man want more of it? They wouldn’t.

But I’m gonna give it to them, just

a little bit. I don’t suppose

you’ve ever wondered why I kill so

many people, have you? Though

you’re on your way yourself.

BEN (EMOTIONLESS)

I’ve never given it much thought.

Anger, I suppose.

MAN IN BLACK(LAUGHS)

Not quite, Benjamin. You see, I’ve

been creating an army.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 6.

BEN (CONFUSED)

What?

The MIB stands.

MAN IN BLACK

Yes, Benjamin, an army. And I have

almost everything I need. Bodies,

of course, and Jacob’s death, which

was remarkably difficult, but I

managed thanks to you. All that’s

left is the cave.

BEN

I don’t know what you’re talking

about.

MAN IN BLACK

You will soon enough. Even now,

everything is in my favor.

The MIB walks into the jungle, smiling slightly. Ben stands

still, staring after him.

BEN (VERY SOFTLY)

Not everything.

Ben follows the Man in Black, disappearing into the jungle.

CUT TO BLACK

ACT 3, SCENE 1

Miles is standing over the bodies of Whitmore and Zoe,

muttering softly and shaking slightly. He does this for a

moment, then nods.

MILES

Thanks. I’ll remember that.

Miles leaves the closet, and begins to leave the house when

a hand grabs his shoulder. He shouts in surprise.

VOICE

Shut up, he might hear you,

brother.

We see that behind him is a filthy but alive Desmond.

MILES

Who the hell are you?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 7.

DESMOND

My name is Desmond. Where’s that

man?

MILES

Who? The nutso who killed those

guys? He already left like an hour

ago.

DESMOND

Good. I need your help, Miles.

MILES

Why should I--wait, how do you know

my name?

DESMOND (SMILING)

Let’s just say I’ve met you in

another life.

ACT 3, SCENE 2

We are on a beach on Hydra Island. A lone figure lies

unconscious on the beach, beaten and torn. One of the

members of Whitmore’s Science Team approaches from beyond

the Sonar Fence. He glances down, shotgun in hand, at the

man, who, as we pan down, is revealed as Frank Lapidus.

The scene changes, and Frank is now lying on a bed in the

Hydra infirmary, the same bed that Desmond was in in

"Happily Ever After". He slowly wakens and groans.

FRANK

Damn, that door hurt.

A man walks up to him, who we have never met before. He sits

on the bed beside Frank’s.

MAN

Good to see you’re awake. My name’s

William James.

He holds out his hand to shake, which Frank takes.

WILL

So, how did you come to end up on

that beach?

FRANK

I was...on a sub--

Will suddenly stands.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 8.

WILL (OUT OF DOOR)

We’ve got one of them!

Nearly insantaneously a group of people come inside, and

grab Frank’s arms. Frank stares at them.

FRANK

What the hell’re you doing?

WILL

I’m sorry to do this, but we’re

going to need to ask you a couple

of questions.

FRANK

What kind of questions are we

talking about here?

Will leans in close to Frank’s face.

WILL

Where the hell is Charles Whitmore?

ACT 3, SCENE 3

We see Richard’s eye open. he is lying in one of the tents

at the desolate beach camp. It is morning. Kate brings a cup

of water to his mouth, which he drinks, sputtering.

RICHARD

What...happened? Where are we?

KATE

Sawyer knocked you out. We’re at

the camp. Right back where we

started.

RICHARD

Where are Sun and Jin? Sayid?

Frank? They weren’t with you.

KATE

They’re dead. He killed them with

your C4.

Richard groans and lies back for a moment. Kate looks out at

the beach. Richard suddenly looks back up.

RICHARD (CONFUSED)

But, we never put C4 on the plane.

Ben still has it.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 9.

KATE

Then who put it there?

RICHARD

I have no idea, Kate. Probably

Whitmore.

Jack enters the tent, looking at Richard.

JACK

Good, your awake. Feeling any more

pain?

RICHARD (SARCASTICALLY)

No, I feel fantastic, Jack.

JACK (LAUGHING)

Well, you’re gonna have to lie down

for a little while. I don’t know

what the Man in Black did to you,

but you might have broken your

leg. I found a few antibiotics in

Sawyer’s old tent. You should take

one every hour for the pain.

HURLEY (OUTSIDE)

Jack, come outside, quick!

JACK (RUNNING OUTSIDE)

What is it, Hurley?

SAWYER

Ben.

The camera turns with Jack to see Ben walking towards them

across the beach. He stops right in front of them.

BEN

I hope I’m not interrupting.

SAWYER

Where the hell have you been,

Darnay?

BEN

I have a message from the Man in

Black.

SAWYER (GRABBING BEN)

What the hell would you be doing

with Him?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 10.

BEN (CALMLY)

He wants me to tell you that

there’s nothing you can do: he’s

already won. It doesn’t matter that

Jack’s the new protecter. It’s too

late.

HURLEY

How do you know he’s the-

JACK

Forget it, Hurley. Ben, why are you

telling us this?

BEN (LOOKING LEFT)

To distract you.

Sawyer turns and yells, for the Man in Black is standing

next to Richard’s tent, holding Kate, the knife to her

throat. Richard is lying still in the wide open tent. Ben

wrentches from Sawyer’s grip and moves to join the Man in

Black.

MAN IN BLACK

I’m sorry it’s come to this, Jack

Sawyer runs for him, with a look of pure fury, but stops

when the Man in Black puts the knife to Kate’s throat.

Sawyer stops, and Kate’s eyes fill with tears.

HURLEY

It’s alright, guys! He can’t kill

her, remember?

MIB

Oh, yes, that’s true. That’s why

I’m going to ask Ben to do it.

Ben nods and takes the knife, yanking Kate into the same

position that the Man in Black had.

HURLEY

Ben, what’re you doing?

Sawyer pulls out a pistol, (the same one from the opening

scene) and aims it at Ben

MAN IN BLACK

I wouldn’t recommend that. You’ll

probably shoot her. And even if you

hit him, he’ll still slit her

throat.

Sawyer stands for a moment, then slowly lowers the gun.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 11.

SAWYER (SOFTLY, TO MAN IN BLACK)

Let her go, you son of a bitch.

MAN IN BLACK

I’m afraid I can’t do that, James.

SAWYER

You killed them all. ALL OF THEM!

KATE (SOBBING)

Don’t, Sawyer. Don’t.

MAN IN BLACK

No, James, that was you. If you

hadn’t pulled the cords, no one

would have died.

JACK

Don’t listen to him, Sawyer! (to

MIB) What the hell do you want?

MAN IN BLACK

I want to know where the cave is,

Jack.

JACK

Why the hell would I tell you that?

MAN IN BLACK

Because if you don’t, the only

women who ever loved you will die.

Your choice, Jack.

Jack stares at him. The Man slowly smiles.

CUT TO BLACK

ACT 4, SCENE 1

Kate is still in the arms of Ben, and the beach seems to be

at a standstill. All that can be heard is the waves crashing

on the shores. Jack is standing right where he was before,

seeming to be having an inward battle. Finally, he turns his

tear-steaked face upward.

JACK

I...I can’t do it. I can’t tell

you.

MAN IN BLACK (NO LONGER SMILING)

I’m very sorry to hear that. (To

Ben) Kill her.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 12.

Ben digs the knife into Kate’s throat a little, and blood

falls. She screams and begins to sob. Sawyer’s face is hard

and angry.

JACK

Please...don’t do this, Ben.

Ben says nothing, but stands, expressionless.

HURLEY (TO MAN IN BLACK)

No one needs to die, dude! Stop!

MAN IN BLACK

Yes, no one needs to die. Tell me

where the cave is, Jack. Or her

blood will be on your hands.

Sawyer turns to Jack, his face hard and pained.

SAWYER

Tell him, Jack! He’s already killed

Sun and Jin and Sayid. Just tell

him!

JACK

I can’t, James. I’m the protector

of this island.

Sawyer, on hearing this, suddenly lunges at Jack, and knocks

him to the ground, punching him in the face over and over.

Jack lies on the ground in shock and pain, blood all over

his face. Hurley runs forward to stop him.

SAWYER

TELL HIM, YOU SON OF A BITCH! TELL

HIM WHERE IT IS!

JACK (THROUGH THE BLOOD)

I can’t James. This is bigger than

all of us. It’s our desti-

SAWYER

I’M SICK OF HEARING ABOUT YOU AND

YOUR DAMN DESTINY! (Pause, begins

sobbing) I’ve lost everyone, Jack.

My parents, Cassidy, Juliet,

they’re all gone. The only people

who ever gave a damn about me are

either dead or gone. Don’t take

another one from me, Jack.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 13.

JACK

I love her too, Sawyer.

SAWYER

Not if you let him kill her.

Jack lies still, breathing. Hurley has frozen awkwardly.

Finally, Jack sighs.

JACK

Fine...I’ll tell you...

KATE

(CRYING) No, don’t do it Ja--

The Man in Black punches her, and she stops talking. Sawyer

shouts.

He stumbles to his feet. Kate is conscious, but unable to do

anything. The Man in Black’s face is smiling again.

MAN IN BLACK

Fantastic. Lead the way, Jack.

JACK

Wait, what?

MAN IN BLACK

You didn’t think I’d just let you

tell me a lie and get her back, did

you? No, I want you to show me,

Jack.

Another pause. Jack looks unsure.

SAWYER

Show him, Jack.

HURLEY

But Jacob said--

SAWYER

Shut up, Hugo! Jack, show that son

of a bitch where the cave is, or

I’ll kill you.

Jack glares at him, then looks at the bleeding Kate, who is

stirring. He sighs.

JACK

Fine. Let’s go.

14.

He treks off. Sawyer, Hurley, The Man in Black and Ben, with

Kate, follow them. Richard, forgotten in the moment, lies

unconsious in the tent.

ACT 4, SCENE 2

Miles is standing outside, next to the fence where Alex is

buried, eyes shut. Desmond walks out of Ben’s house,

stuffing his backpack with supplies.

DESMOND

What are you doing, brother?

MILES (JERKED OUT OF CONCENTRATION)

Well, I was listening to someone,

but you interrupted.

Desmond nods in blunt acceptance and shoulders the backpack,

signaling for Miles to follow him. Miles does, and they

begin to leave the Barracks.

MILES

So, where are you taking me,

exactly? How do I know you don’t

work for Mr. Angry Smoke?

DESMOND

You’re just going to have to trust

me, brother. And as for where we’re

going, we’re going to find Jack.

MILES

Last I heard, he was going to talk

to the Man in Black and make a

treaty or something. Based on what

he did to that hot chick and the

old guy there, I don’t think

looking for him is the smartest

thing to be doing right now.

Desmond turns around, staring at Miles intently. Miles stops

and stares back.

DESMOND

You want bloody answers, Miles?

I’ll give you answers, then. I just

found out that there is another

reality out there, where Oceanic

815 didn’t crash. That complicates

things a bit, eh? Ever since then,

I’ve had a plan. And that plan is

to get everyone there together. If

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 15.

DESMOND (cont’d)I can do that, I might be able to

negate all of this.

MILES

What the hell are you talking

about, man?

DESMOND

(Gesturing around) All of this?

This can’t bloody exist, brother. I

have to get everyone in that other

reality to realize what the hell is

going on here, and if I can do

that, maybe I can finally stop all

of this from existing. I know it

doesn’t make any sense, but I know

it’s got to be that way, brother!

If I can stop this, maybe I can

stop the war.

MILES

War? We’re on an island with, like,

50 people, 30 guns and one smoke

monster, last I checked. There’s

not much war to go around.

DESMOND

Are you telling me you haven’t

sensed it too, brother? That you

haven’t felt a change?

Miles pauses, and thinks for a moment.

MILES

You know, an alternate reality

might have seemed insane to me at

one point, but not now. I can hear

dead people, man. And they’ve been

sounding a lot different on this

island than anywhere else.

More...loud, I guess. I hear them a

lot easier.

DESMOND

That’s because they’re restless.

This place won’t bloody let anyone

move on.

MILES

How would you know that? You don’t

seem like the Cole Sear type guy to

me.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 16.

DESMOND

I could feel them, Miles. In the

energy, when Whitmore shoved me in

a bloody generator, I could hear

them, shouting. Like a lost

connection between the worlds.

They’re not dead in the other

world, but they are here. That’s

just wrong, brother. I was a

priest, and I know a little bit

about the soul, or energy, or

whatever. Or, at least I think I

do. Theycan’t be alive and dead at

the same time. I think...I think

this island is the catalyst between

the worlds, of life and death.

MILES

What does that have to do with a

war?

DESMOND

I think...I think this island can

work both ways. If it’s giving them

death and life at the same time,

maybe it can switch the two. Maybe

it can bring them back, or at

least, a little of them. In the

light, the energy that connects the

worlds.

MILES (LAUGHING)

You mean, like zombies? We’re not

in a Romero film as far as I know.

DESMOND (SERIOUS)

Yes, Miles. That’s exactly what I

mean.

Desmond turns and walks into the jungle, in much the same

manner the Man in Black did after leaving Ben. Miles stands

for a moment, then follows.

CUT TO BLACK

ACT 5, SCENE 1

Frank is staring into the eyes of William, not twitching.

FRANK

Whitmore? Haven’t seen him.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 17.

WILL

Stop lying. We know your group

forcibly escaped from our cages

with the Smoke Monster. Whitmore

went to the main island to track

you down and hasn’t come back. What

did you do to him?

FRANK

I sure as hell don’t know. The

submarine sank. I’m the only one

who made it, as far as I know.

He suddenly realizes what he is saying, and looks horrified.

FRANK

Damn...Sawyer, Jack...Their all

dead...

WILL

Who’s Jack? What do you mean, the

sub is sunk?

FRANK

Well, since I was on a beach,

coughing up a lake and torn up

after your Sub was stolen, I’d

think you’d have guessed that by

now.

WILL

That was our only way off this

island! What the hell happened?

FRANK

I don’t know. I just heard an

explosion and got a whole lot of

door in my face. And there’s always

the plane.

WILL

It’s a damn crashed plane! There’s

no way to get that thing in the

air! We already checked, and it

pretty much dead. We rigged some C4

just in case the Smoke tried to use

it to get off the island.

FRANK

Yeah, we found your C4. Well, at

least some of it. And as for the

plane, you’ll have to let a pilot

take a look at it before you make

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 18.

FRANK (cont’d)any assumptions. Let me see it and

I’ll tell you if the thing can fly

or not.

WILL

And why would we want to do that?

FRANK

’Cause if the Man in Black is gonna

do what I think he will, we’ll

wanna be off this rock as soon as

possible.

ACT 5, SCENE 2

Jack is walking through a forest of bamboo, followed by the

rest of the group. His face is determined but confused at

the same time.

SAWYER

(whispering)

I’m sorry, Jack. We have to show

him.

JACK

Don’t you understand, James? It

won’t matter. We’ll all probably

die anyway.

SAWYER

Yeah, well I’m not gonna take that

chance when I might be able to save

her.

JACK

(stopping and looking down)

You know, this is wear I woke up

after the crash. (laughs slightly)

We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?

SAWYER

No, we haven’t.

Jack glances at him and then continues on. Hurley is behind

next to the Man in Black.

HURLEY

Dude, why do you have to do this?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 19.

MAN IN BLACK

It’s been far too long, Hugo, and

it’s time that I took more

initiative. I promise you, if you

don’t try to stop me, I’ll let you

live.

HURLEY

No way, dude. You’ve made that

promise before.

MAN IN BLACK

(Laughs grimly)

Well, I’ll probably have to kill

you then.

HURLEY

Yeah, I guess you will.

KATE

(To Ben)

Please...why are you doing this?

Ben says nothing, but grabs her tighter and keeps going.

As the group reach the edge of the bamboo, Jack turns to the

Man in Black.

JACK

It’s beyond here. The rest of you

don’t have to follow us.

MAN IN BLACK

(smiling)

No, I want you all to see this.

He gestures for Ben to come forward with Kate, which forces

the rest to do the same. They come beyond the Bamboo grove

and their feet hit water. The Man in Black looks off from

the camera, his eyes glinting, and we turn to see the cave

of light.

MAN IN BLACK

Finally...finally...

He walks forward, and Jack shouts:

JACK

What are you doing?

MAN IN BLACK

Finishing what I started.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 20.

He reaches the cave, and turns around. As he watches the

terrified group, he grins and begins to melt away. Turning

darker and falling into the form of the smoke monster. He

flies down the hole and vanishes into its depths. After a

moment, the whole cave goes completely black, and suddenly

bursts out with black light and smoke. It pours out from

every crack, and the sound of magnetism (like that of the

hatch) is heard. As the smoke flies over the island, the sky

turns purple, but this time, it stays that way. As the event

occurs, Jack turns to Sawyer.

JACK

We’re all dead, Sawyer.

Sawyer does not reply. The camera focuses on Ben, who’s eyes

are bright and full of a sick wonder. Kate uses this

opportunity of distraction to shove Ben’s arm away. He

doesn’t react. She backs away from him, and looks up at the

sky.

HURLEY

What’ve we done, guys?

ACT 5, SCENE 3

Frank is lying in the bed, and Will is still talking to him.

WILL

What d’you mean? What’s he gonna

do, Frank?

FRANK

He killed almost everyone. All the

candidates. I sure as hell’m not

one. Since their dead, I don’t

think there’s anything stopping him

destroying this place. The only

thing we can do now is get the

plane off here, so he can’t.

MAN ON WILL’S WALKIE-TALKIE

William--William! We’ve got a

situation.

WILL

(exasperated)

What is it now, Mitchell?

MITCHELL

The Ajira people-the dead ones.

They’re moving! What the hell is

going on?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 21.

FRANK

Their what?

WILL

(into walkie)

Keep back, Mitch! Don’t get near

’em. Whitmore told us this would

happen if they died. It’s too late

to stop him.

Will looks up at Frank.

WILL

So, about the plane..

ACT 5, SCENE 4

Camera flashes to Boone Hill, where the graves sit. A moment

of silence, then the smoke and black light dive downward

into the graves, making the dirt fly everywhere. The body of

Boone, practically a skeleton, is revealed in the shallow

grave. The grinding, violent smoke pulls him into the air,

enveloping him. The light trickles white for a feeble

moment, then goes back to black. Suddenly, it lets go, and

the body falls to the sand. After another moment of silence,

the figure, still rotting, slowly rises to its feet and

groans. It looks right at the camera, eye level, and it’s

eye sockets glow with black light.

LOST
