[FLASHBACK]
[Opens on a woman filling out a form at a desk in an open office setting. Locke sits across from her.]
TAMARA: Name?
LOCKE: John Locke.
TAMARA: Marital status, Mr. Locke?
LOCKE: Uh, Single.
TAMARA: Girlfriend?
LOCKE: No.
TAMARA: Are your parents living?
LOCKE: I was raised in foster care. I never really knew my parents.
TAMARA: Have you ever considered seeking out your biological parents?
LOCKE: Uhhh.... I don't see how that's relevant.
TAMARA: It's relevant, Mr. Locke, because if the government's going to continue paying your disability insurance I have to figure out whether or not your condition has improved! So, how's your appetite?
LOCKE: Fine.
TAMARA: I see you've stopped submitting your therapy bills for reimbursement.
LOCKE: It's because I stopped going. Waste of time.
[She stamps "Benefts Suspended" on his papers]
TAMARA: It's just a temporary suspension Mr. Locke. As soon as you resume your sessions you can reapply.
LOCKE: You think I'm temporarily disabled?
TAMARA: Depression can be temporary, yes. And since you seem fit to stop going to therapy I guess you're all better!
[Locke stands up]
LOCKE: Guess I am...
[He walks away]
TAMARA: Next!
[Cut to the Other's Village. Sayid, Locke, Danielle, and Kate crouch in the bushes, watching Jack play football with Tom.]
TOM: Over here!
KATE: [Whispering loudly] Why's he doing...
LOCKE: Sh sh sh sh!
TOM: [As Jack catches the ball] Good hands!
JULIET:: Jack!
[Jack throws the football to Juliet, who giggles and throws it to Tom]
KATE: [Whispering] She's the one who helped me and Sawyer escape.
[Juliet goes over to Jack, talking to him]
JACK: [In the distance] What's up?
JULIET: I think it's going to be a while...
[Sayid looks around]
KATE: Hey! What?
SAYID: Danielle...
KATE: John, Rousseau's gone!
[Locke creeps through the bushes. He takes out his binoculars and looks at Juliet wheeling Ben out of a house. Jack talks to Ben, and shakes his hand. Kate and Sayid stare in disbelief]
LOCKE: This is going to be more complicated than we thought.
[LOST logo/chimes]
[Kate, freaking out a bit, is loading her gun]
SAYID: So what exactly are you saying? We simply start shooting people and hope for the best?!
KATE: We came here to rescue Jack and that's what we're going to do!
SAYID: Obviously the circumstances have changed. He may not want to be rescued!
KATE: That is not him! That is not Jack! They must have done something to him. When they captured us, they drugged us.
SAYID: He didn't appear to be drugged, Kate.
KATE: They kidnapped him! Held him prisoner! He wouldn't just forget that.
SAYID: I agree. But until we know why, we're putting our lives at risk!
KATE: I'm not leaving him Sayid!
SAYID: You may not have a choice!
LOCKE: It's Jack! The first time I saw him he was risking his life pulling people out of burning airplane wreckage. If he's shaking hands with The Others I'm sure he has a good reason. We just have to go down there and find out what it is.
SAYID: What do you suggest?
LOCKE: We wait 'til it's dark. We approach Jack when he's alone. And if he wants out, we get him out.
[FLASHBACK]
[Locke, looking like hell, is sitting in a dirty, dim apartment, watching "Expose" on TV and eating. There is a knock on the door, and he looks up]
[Locke opens the door. Peter Talbot is standing on the other side of it.]
PETER: Hello. John Locke?
LOCKE: I'm sorry. No solicitors. [pointing at a sticker on his door that says NO SOLICITING] I have a sign.
PETER: Ah... I'm not trying to sell you any... listen, my name's Peter Talbot. I just need a couple of minutes to talk to you.
LOCKE: Talk about what?
PETER: My mother, actually. I think she might be in some trouble.
LOCKE: You've got the wrong John Locke.
[He starts to close the door]
PETER: How many kidneys do you have?
[Locke opens the door again]
[Scene cuts to Locke making coffee. As Peter speaks, he hands him one cup of coffee, takes the other, and sits down across from Peter]
PETER: She met him two months ago. Love at first site, is what she said. Guy was charming, sweet, funny. His name's Adam Seward. He's a retired computer entrepreneur from Ontario. Anyway, Adam had something... special. My mom just went gaga for him right out of the gate. After two months of knowing him, she agrees to marry the guy. And something about him it... something in my gut told me he was after something so I had to check him out.
LOCKE: Well, I'm not sure I know what any of this has to do with me.
PETER: Well, what this has to do with you, Mr. Locke, is that you donated one of your kidneys to Adam Seward. Only his name was different back then. He used to be Anthony Cooper.
[Peter hands Locke a picture of his father, with Mrs. Talbot]
PETER: All I could find were his medical records. And I saw that he was the recipient of a kidney transplant from you, so I figured, hey, someone gave the guy his kidney. How bad could he be? Right?
LOCKE: Well, it was an anonymous donation. I never met him.
PETER: Are you sure?
LOCKE: Yeah. I'm sorry. I can't help you.
[Back outside the Other's Village, at night. They watch as Juliet and Jack walk up to a house, and Jack goes inside as Juliet walks away]
LOCKE: [Whispering] Sayid, you guard the front. I'll go around and cover the back. [to Kate] You head in through the side door.
KATE: I'm going in alone?
LOCKE: It's better if you're the first one he sees.
KATE: Alright.
[They all run to the house. Kate goes in the side door, and hears piano playing. She walks down a hallway, and comes to a room where Jack sits playing the piano. Jack turns and sees her.]
KATE: Hi.
JACK: What are you doing here?
KATE: I came to get you.
JACK: Get out of here! Right now. Go.
KATE: Jack!
[Jack stands up]
JACK: Kate! They're watching me!
[Kate looks up and notices cameras on the walls]
JACK: Get out of here!
KATE: I'm not leaving you!
JACK: Yes you are!
[The door bursts open and Others holding guns rush in]
MAN: Get down! Get down!
RYAN: Get down! Get her down!
JACK: Don't hurt her! Don't hurt her!
[They grab Kate and put her on the ground]
RYAN: [Pointing his gun at Jack] Step back, Doc. Step. Back.
[More Others run in, holding Sayid and slamming him on the ground]
RYAN: Hold him still!
KATE: Jack! Jack?! Jack!
RYAN: [Speaking to Kate while pointing a gun at her head] Who else is with you?
KATE: Jack?
JACK: Just answer the question, Kate.
RYAN: Ok, one more time. [He cocks the gun] Who else is with you?
KATE: Nobody. Nobody else. It was just us.
[Cut to Ben's bedroom. He lays in the dark, not sleeping. Hearing a sound, he presses a control that lifts part of the bed so that he is nearly sitting]
BEN: Alex?
[He cuts on a light, and sees Locke entering with a gun]
BEN: John!
LOCKE: Shhhh. [Whispering] Keep your voice down.
BEN: [Calmly and reassuringly] All right. It's all right, John. You don't have to point the gun at me. I can tell you where Jack is.
LOCKE: I'm not looking for Jack. I'm looking for the submarine.
[Commercial break]
LOCKE: The submarine... where is it?
BEN: I'm not sure what you mean, John. What submarine?
LOCKE: The one you use to travel to and from the island. The one your man Mikhail told me about... right before I killed him.
ALEX: [Outside Ben's bedroom door] Dad? Who are you talking to?
BEN: Alex, don't come in here!
[Locke opens the door and grabs Alex, covering her mouth as she tries to cry out]
LOCKE: [to Ben] Tell her to be quiet!
BEN: Alex! Please!
TOM: [From outside the front door] Ben?! You awake?!
ALEX: No!
[Locke takes Alex and goes into the closet, closing the door]
TOM: [From outside the front door] I'm coming in!
BEN: What is it?
TOM: It's Austen and Jarrah. They're here. Somehow they found us.
BEN: Where are they now?
TOM: We captured them. We're holding them over at my place. Want me to help you get out there?
BEN:No. Separate them. I want to know how they found us.
TOM: What about Juliet and Shephard? Tomorrow--
BEN: Let me worry about that. Just go.
TOM: Got it.
BEN: Richard? Wait a minute.
TOM: I'll wait outside.
BEN: I want you to bring me the man from Tallahassee.
RICHARD: What do you need him for?
BEN: Just do it. Now.
RICHARD: Ok.
[Richard and Tom leaves, and Locke and Alex come out of the closet]
LOCKE: The man from Tallahassee? What is that... some kind of code?
BEN: No, John, unfortunately we don't have a code for "There's a man in my closet with a gun to my daughter's head". Although we obviously should.
LOCKE: Sayid... he had a pack with him. [Pointing at Alex] I want her to retrieve it.
BEN: Okay... But you should know my daughter currently hates me. So I'm not sure holding me hostage is your best option.
ALEX: Dad! [to Locke] I'll get your bag.
[she leaves]
[FLASHBACK]
[Locke enters a florist shop. His father and Mrs. Talbot are looking at flowers]
MRS. TALBOT: [Speaking to a sales assistant] I'm looking for something really stunning, something that will grab everyone's attention on the table. Honey? What do you think of this one?
ANTHONY: That looks good. What do you think?
MRS. TALBOT: I like it. Maybe just a little larger.
ANTHONY: Yeah.
[He looks up and sees Locke standing there]
ANTHONY: Larger would be good. Um...I'll go over there and take a look.
[He walks over to Locke]
ANTHONY: Hello, John.
LOCKE: Gonna be a big to-do, or just the two of you and a preacher? I guess you couldn't invite me, huh? That would make for... awkward introductions.
ANTHONY: How did you even know that I was going to--
LOCKE: I know because her son came to me and asked why I gave you a kidney. He's on to you. But he doesn't have any proof, so he came to me, hoping I would vouch for you.
ANTHONY: What did you say to him?
LOCKE: You're conning her, aren't you? You're going to marry her for her money, right?
ANTHONY: What is it you want, John?
LOCKE: I want you to end it. I want you to call off the wedding.
ANTHONY: Why are you doing this?
LOCKE: Because! Because it's not fair! You make people think that you're their family. And then you leave their life in ruins. And I'm not going to let you do it again! You're going to call off your engagement and go... or I'm going to tell her the truth. I want to hear you say it! You say you're going to leave!
ANTHONY: Ok, John. You got it.
[He turns and walks away]
[Back in Ben's room]
BEN: Would you mind helping me get into my chair? No tricks, I promise. I just want some dignity. You of all people should understand what it means to want some dignity.
[Locke gets up and gets the chair]
BEN: Thank you. So, tell me John. How do you expect to pilot our submarine? I mean, it's a complicated piece of machinery. You don't just press "Submerge".
LOCKE: I'll figure something out. For all you know I was a Commander in the Navy. Put your arm around my neck. I'll lift under your knees.
BEN: What's in the pack, John? If you met Mikhail that means you were in the communications station. Which means you found the explosives. So you're not planning to pilot the submarine anywhere, are you? You're planning to destroy it. I know you, John Locke.
LOCKE: You don't know me at all.
BEN: I know you were born in California. I know you were raised in foster care. I know you wasted a big part of your life in Tustin, pushing papers at a company that manufactured industrial boxes. I know you spent the 4 years prior to your arrival on this island in a wheelchair. And I know how you ended up in it. Tell me, John... did it hurt?
LOCKE: I felt my back break. What do you think?
[Cut to Kate inside a room with a pool table. She sits on the table, working her hand-cuffed hands around until they are in front of her. The door opens and she looks up as Tom comes in]
TOM: I didn't think I'd see you again so soon, Kate.
[Jack enters]
TOM: [Pointing to his own head] Be careful in here.
JACK: Thanks.
[He walks over and pulls up a chair to sit on]
JACK: They hurt you?
KATE: No. They hurt you?
JACK: [Chuckles] No.
KATE: What is all this?
JACK: This is where they live.
KATE: And the people they took... the kids?
JACK: They're all safe.
KATE: Safe? So you're with them now.
JACK: I'm not with anyone, Kate.
[She stands and walks over to him]
KATE: What did they do to you?!
JACK: Nothing.
KATE: Then why are you acting like this?
JACK: There's no way... you... there's no way that I could...
KATE: I came here to help you! So why don't you just tell me why you're--
JACK: [Shouting]I told you not to come back here for me!
KATE: I didn't think you meant it.
[Jack starts crying, and Kate touches his hand, sitting in front of him]
KATE: What did they do to you Jack?
JACK: I made a deal with them. They're going to let me go.
KATE: Where?
JACK:Home.
KATE: When?
JACK: First thing in the morning. [Jack leans in and whispers] I can bring back help, it's our best chance.
KATE: You trust these people? They are liars! Why would you believe a word that--
JACK: I trust them because you told me to, Kate. When you asked me to save Sawyer's life.
KATE: Jack. What did they tell you?
[Juliet enters]
JULIET: Jack, we need to go.
JACK: I'll be right there.
[She leaves]
JACK: I asked that you not come back here for me and I wish...I wish that you hadn't.
[He stands up]
JACK: But I will come back here for you.
[He leaves]
[FLASHBACK]
[Locke pulls up to his apartment in his car, and gets out carrying groceries, as he walks by, two plain-clothes cops are waiting for him]
DETECTIVE MASON: John Locke?
LOCKE: Yeah.
DETECTIVE MASON: Detective Mason. That's Detective Reed. Do you mind if we ask you a few questions?
LOCKE: No, of course not.
DETECTIVE MASON: Do you know a man named Peter Talbot?
LOCKE: [Hesitating] No, I don't think so.
DETECTIVE REED: Thin, brown hair, 20's?
DETECTIVE MASON: If it will be helpful we believe he was here in your apartment two days ago.
LOCKE: Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Yeah, he was a solicitor. I sent him away.
DETECTIVE MASON: Mr. Talbot's family is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 million dollars. So I'm curious, what exactly was he selling you door-to-door?
LOCKE: Well, I... look I told you I don't know him so...
DETECTIVE MASON: Then why was your name and address on a piece of paper in his pocket, Mr. Locke?
LOCKE: Why would you be looking through his pockets?
DETECTIVE MASON: Because Peter Talbot's dead.
[Back to Ben's room. Ben is in the wheelchair]
BEN: It wasn't easy you know...being in that hatch with you all the time... knowing you had no business walking around... knowing I couldn't even ask you about it without telling you who I really was.
LOCKE: So ask me now. Now that I know who you really are.
[Ben wheels over, speaking earnestly]
BEN: Was it immediate? It started the moment you got here?
LOCKE: Yeah.
BEN: And you were just walking? The feeling returned right after the crash? That day?
LOCKE: That's what immediate means, Ben. You're wondering why it hasn't happened for you. You're not recovering as fast as you'd like. How long's it been since Jack fixed ya? A week? Now that I think about it, how'd you get sick in the first place?
BEN: Are you afraid it will go away, John? Is that why you want to destroy the submarine? Because you know if you ever leave this island you'll be back in the chair?
LOCKE: [Ignoring the question] You got anything to eat?
[Sayid sits chained to a playground, guarded by Others. He sees Alex walk up.]
RYAN: Hey. Go on home kid, you know you're not supposed to be here.
ALEX: My father sent me to get his pack.
RYAN: Why?
ALEX: I don't know Ryan, but he told me to get it.
RYAN: Alright, here you go.
[Alex takes the pack and starts to walk away]
SAYID: You're Alex aren't you?
=#cd5c5c]RYAN[/color]: Hey, can it.
ALEX: How do you know my name?
SAYID: Because you look like your mother.
ALEX: My mother is dead.
SAYID: I'm sure that's what they told you.
[Ryan gets up and strikes Sayid in the stomach with his gun]
RYAN : Get going, Alex. [to Sayid] Keep your mouth shut.
[Cut to Ben and Locke in Ben's living room. Locke turns on the lights]
LOCKE: Where do you get electricity?
We have two giant hamsters running on a massive wheel at our secret underground cave...
LOCKE: Yeah, that's funny.
BEN: There's leftovers in the refrigerator. Help yourself.
[Locke opens the fridge and takes out some chicken]
BEN: I ate most of the dark meat. Sorry.
[Locke starts eating]
LOCKE: Hmm. I never really appreciated chicken until right now.
BEN: I know you think you need to do this, John, but if you blow up my submarine, I have a big problem with my people.
LOCKE: Is that supposed to be an incentive not to blow it up?
BEN: I was born on this island. Not many of my people can say that. Most of them were recruited and brought here and as much as they love this place... as much as they would do anything to defend it... they need to know they can leave if they want to. The sub maintains that illusion.
LOCKE: So you're lying to them.
BEN: [Frustrated] No. There here because they want to be here. Some of them are just not ready to make a full... commitment yet. But you John... you've already made that commitment. And now you have a choice... because if you stop and if you think, I can show you things. Things I know you want to see very badly. Let me put it so you'll understand. Picture a box. You know something about boxes, don't you John? What if I told you that somewhere on this island there's a very large box... and whatever you imagined, whatever you wanted to be in it... when you opened that box, there it would be. What would you say about that, John?
LOCKE: I'd say I hope that box is big enough to imagine yourself up a new submarine.
BEN: Why are you so angry, John?
LOCKE: Because you're cheating. You and your people. Communicate with the outside world whenever you want to you... you come and go as you please... you use electricity and running water and guns... you're a hypocrite... a Pharisee. You don't deserve to be on this island. If you had any idea what this place really was... you wouldn't be putting chicken in your refrigerator.
BEN: You've been here 80 days, John. I've been hear my entire life. So how is it you think you know this island better than I do?
LOCKE: Because you're in the wheelchair and I'm not.
[Alex comes up to the house and enters, giving Locke the pack]
BEN: Did you have any problems?
[She shakes her head]
LOCKE: Okay. Here's how this is gonna work. She's gonna take me to the sub. Once were there, I let her go.
BEN: John, she's done enough. Let me take you.
LOCKE: I don't want you to slow me down. [To Alex] Come on. Let's go.
BEN: John, before you go you should know... Jack and I made a deal. In less than an hour he's leaving this island on that submarine and it's a one way ticket. The anomaly wiped out our communications. We have no way of contacting the outside world. Which means when that sub leaves, it can never come back. So whether you destroy the submarine or whether you let it go, the end result is the same. No one will find this island.
LOCKE: [To Alex] Let's go. Come on.
[Alex and Locke leave and begin to walk to the sub]
ALEX: You know he's manipulating you, right?
LOCKE: How's that?
ALEX: That's what my father does. He manipulates people. He makes you think it's your idea, but it's his.
LOCKE: I'll have to keep that in mind.
[They come out of the woods to the water]
ALEX: The submarine's down there. At the end of the dock.
LOCKE: I'm sorry I had to involve you in this.
[Locke goes off to the dock, and Alex heads back. As she does, Danielle watches from the bushes]
[Locke climbs down into the sub and looks around, setting up the explosives]
[Cut to Ben's house. He puts away the chicken. The door opens, and Jack and Juliet come in]
JACK: Look I know you don't owe me anything, but I need to ask you for one last favor.
BEN: You don't knock?
JACK: I need you to let my friends go... after I'm gone.
BEN: And if I said no would that stop you from leaving?
JACK: Of course it would.
BEN: Your friends are only here to rescue you, but you seem to be doing a good job of rescuing yourself so... I suppose there's no reason to keep them here.
JACK: Do I have your word on that?
BEN: You have my word.
[He shakes Jack's hand]
BEN: I'll let them go, just as soon as you've left the island.
[Jack turns to leave]
BEN: [to Juliet] Well, I guess this is it.
JULIET: Thank you, Ben... for keeping your promise.
[Ben nods and smiles slightly as they leave]
[Cut to Locke walking back from the sub as Jack, Juliet, and the Others head towards it. Locke is spotted by Ryan]
RYAN : Hey! Hold it right there. Get your hands up. Get down. I said get down.
[Locke puts up his hands and kneels]
JACK: What are you doing here, John?
LOCKE: I'm sorry, Jack.
JACK: Sorry for what?
[The sub explodes]
[FLASHBACK]
[Locke enters his father's apartment/hotel room(?) ]
LOCKE: What did you do?
ANTHONY: John?
LOCKE: Tell me. Tell me you didn't do it.
ANTHONY: What are you talking about?
LOCKE: Tell me that you didn't kill that kid!
ANTHONY: What? You think I had something to do with Peter's death?
LOCKE: I tell you to end things with his mother and the next thing you know he's dead!
ANTHONY: John now calm down, please. Think about what you're saying. Why would I kill Peter?
LOCKE: He was on to you!
ANTHONY: John, I've been doing this for a long time. I'm not sweating some rich kid.
LOCKE: Then why are you still here?!
ANTHONY: What do you mean?
LOCKE: I tell you to leave. You tell me you're gonna leave town. Why are you still here?!
ANTHONY: Now listen John. I'll be honest with you. I didn't end it. I was looking for an angle. I wanted to make some money before I skipped out. But then all this happened.
[He grabs a bottle and pours drinks]
ANTHONY: Peter died and everything just went straight into the tank. She's devastated. She's called off the wedding. There's no profit in it, John. I'm a con man, not a murderer.
LOCKE: She called off the wedding?
ANTHONY: She said she couldn't deal with it. She needs to be alone.
LOCKE: So, If I were to call her, right now, that's what she would tell me?
ANTHONY: Phones right over there, John.
[Locke walks to the phone]
LOCKE: What's her number--
[Anthony tackles him and throws him out of the window]
[Cut to Locke in a hospital bed. The cops are there]
DETECTIVE MASON: Mr. Locke we know this isn't what you want to hear, but your father's gone. We know he fled to Mexico shortly after your... encounter, then he disappeared. I'm sorry, but he could be anywhere in the world right now.
[A nurse, William, comes in]
WILLIAM: Alright detectives, that's enough. Mr. Locke has work to do today.
DETECTIVE MASON: We'll let you know if anything develops.
[The cops leave and William opens the shades over the window]
WILLIAM: John, John, John. We have got ourselves quite a day ahead of us, my friend. It's a fine time to get you up out of that bad.
LOCKE: No. I don't want to.
WILLIAM: I don't remember asking.
[William takes off the covers, then sets up a wheelchair]
WILLIAM: Now. Most people struggle with this at first, but don't worry... you'll get used to it.
LOCKE: Uh...no...no...please...I...I can't do this.
WILLIAM: John, you fell 8 stories and survived, okay. I don't want to hear about what you can't do. Now let's go. It's gonna be alright.
LOCKE: No I don't... no I don't think...
[Williams lifts Locke and puts him in the chair]
WILLIAM: It's gonna be fine, John
LOCKE: I don't think I...think I can...
WILLIAM: You're fine. There ya go. There ya go, buddy. Wasn't that bad, was it? I'll be right back, buddy.
[Locke sits in the chair and starts to cry]
[Cut to the Other's Village. Locke is chained to the ceiling in a dark room. Ben and Richard open the door]
BEN: Well, John, you've really gone and done it now.
LOCKE: You don't have to pretend to be disappointed anymore. We both know you wanted it to happen. That's why you left the C4 in Sayid's bag because you wanted me to make it happen.
BEN: Uncuff him please, Richard.
[Richard walks forward and uncuffs Locke]
RICHARD: You gonna do anything stupid?
LOCKE: No sir.
BEN: Do you remember earlier, John, when you called me a cheater... when you said I didn't deserve to live on this island? Well get this, there I was shaking hands with Jack and thinking I'd give almost anything to come up with a way to stop him from leaving, because to let him go would be a sign of weakness, of failure, of defeat. People would see that. They would know it. And that, John, would be the end of me. But to kill him... that would be cheating... because my people also heard me make a promise and to break my word... that would be the end of me too. And then you came striding out of the jungle, John, to make my dream come true.
LOCKE: You're not gonna start talking about the magic box again are you?
BEN: No John. I'm gonna show you what came out of it.
[They go down a hallway]
BEN: When I asked you earlier if it hurt when you suffered your injury, I think you misunderstood me. Seems fairly obvious that when a person's back smashes into a hard surface after being thrown from a building, that that's gonna sting a little. But I really wasn't asking about the physical pain.
LOCKE: What, you wanna know if it hurt my feelings?
BEN: No John. I wanted to know what it felt like when your own father tried to kill you. He's the reason you destroyed the submarine, isn't he? You're afraid. You're afraid of him and this is the one place he can never find you. This is the one place he can never get to.
LOCKE: What do you want from me?
BEN: I don't know how it happened, but you seem to have some communion with this island, John, and that makes you very very important. You have no idea what you're talking about of course, but in time you'll have a better understanding of things. So what do I want? I want to help you, John.
LOCKE: Why?
BEN: Because I'm in a wheelchair and you're not. Are you ready to see?
[Ben wheels back as Richard unlocks and opens a large door. Locke looks in to see his father bound and gagged in a chair]
LOCKE: Dad?

[Opens on a woman filling out a form at a desk in an open office setting. Locke sits across from her.]
TAMARA: Name?
LOCKE: John Locke.
TAMARA: Marital status, Mr. Locke?
LOCKE: Uh, Single.
TAMARA: Girlfriend?
LOCKE: No.
TAMARA: Are your parents living?
LOCKE: I was raised in foster care. I never really knew my parents.
TAMARA: Have you ever considered seeking out your biological parents?
LOCKE: Uhhh.... I don't see how that's relevant.
TAMARA: It's relevant, Mr. Locke, because if the government's going to continue paying your disability insurance I have to figure out whether or not your condition has improved! So, how's your appetite?
LOCKE: Fine.
TAMARA: I see you've stopped submitting your therapy bills for reimbursement.
LOCKE: It's because I stopped going. Waste of time.
[She stamps "Benefts Suspended" on his papers]
TAMARA: It's just a temporary suspension Mr. Locke. As soon as you resume your sessions you can reapply.
LOCKE: You think I'm temporarily disabled?
TAMARA: Depression can be temporary, yes. And since you seem fit to stop going to therapy I guess you're all better!
[Locke stands up]
LOCKE: Guess I am...
[He walks away]
TAMARA: Next!
[Cut to the Other's Village. Sayid, Locke, Danielle, and Kate crouch in the bushes, watching Jack play football with Tom.]
TOM: Over here!
KATE: [Whispering loudly] Why's he doing...
LOCKE: Sh sh sh sh!
TOM: [As Jack catches the ball] Good hands!
JULIET:: Jack!
[Jack throws the football to Juliet, who giggles and throws it to Tom]
KATE: [Whispering] She's the one who helped me and Sawyer escape.
[Juliet goes over to Jack, talking to him]
JACK: [In the distance] What's up?
JULIET: I think it's going to be a while...
[Sayid looks around]
KATE: Hey! What?
SAYID: Danielle...
KATE: John, Rousseau's gone!
[Locke creeps through the bushes. He takes out his binoculars and looks at Juliet wheeling Ben out of a house. Jack talks to Ben, and shakes his hand. Kate and Sayid stare in disbelief]
LOCKE: This is going to be more complicated than we thought.
[LOST logo/chimes]
[Kate, freaking out a bit, is loading her gun]
SAYID: So what exactly are you saying? We simply start shooting people and hope for the best?!
KATE: We came here to rescue Jack and that's what we're going to do!
SAYID: Obviously the circumstances have changed. He may not want to be rescued!
KATE: That is not him! That is not Jack! They must have done something to him. When they captured us, they drugged us.
SAYID: He didn't appear to be drugged, Kate.
KATE: They kidnapped him! Held him prisoner! He wouldn't just forget that.
SAYID: I agree. But until we know why, we're putting our lives at risk!
KATE: I'm not leaving him Sayid!
SAYID: You may not have a choice!
LOCKE: It's Jack! The first time I saw him he was risking his life pulling people out of burning airplane wreckage. If he's shaking hands with The Others I'm sure he has a good reason. We just have to go down there and find out what it is.
SAYID: What do you suggest?
LOCKE: We wait 'til it's dark. We approach Jack when he's alone. And if he wants out, we get him out.
[FLASHBACK]
[Locke, looking like hell, is sitting in a dirty, dim apartment, watching "Expose" on TV and eating. There is a knock on the door, and he looks up]
[Locke opens the door. Peter Talbot is standing on the other side of it.]
PETER: Hello. John Locke?
LOCKE: I'm sorry. No solicitors. [pointing at a sticker on his door that says NO SOLICITING] I have a sign.
PETER: Ah... I'm not trying to sell you any... listen, my name's Peter Talbot. I just need a couple of minutes to talk to you.
LOCKE: Talk about what?
PETER: My mother, actually. I think she might be in some trouble.
LOCKE: You've got the wrong John Locke.
[He starts to close the door]
PETER: How many kidneys do you have?
[Locke opens the door again]
[Scene cuts to Locke making coffee. As Peter speaks, he hands him one cup of coffee, takes the other, and sits down across from Peter]
PETER: She met him two months ago. Love at first site, is what she said. Guy was charming, sweet, funny. His name's Adam Seward. He's a retired computer entrepreneur from Ontario. Anyway, Adam had something... special. My mom just went gaga for him right out of the gate. After two months of knowing him, she agrees to marry the guy. And something about him it... something in my gut told me he was after something so I had to check him out.
LOCKE: Well, I'm not sure I know what any of this has to do with me.
PETER: Well, what this has to do with you, Mr. Locke, is that you donated one of your kidneys to Adam Seward. Only his name was different back then. He used to be Anthony Cooper.
[Peter hands Locke a picture of his father, with Mrs. Talbot]
PETER: All I could find were his medical records. And I saw that he was the recipient of a kidney transplant from you, so I figured, hey, someone gave the guy his kidney. How bad could he be? Right?
LOCKE: Well, it was an anonymous donation. I never met him.
PETER: Are you sure?
LOCKE: Yeah. I'm sorry. I can't help you.
[Back outside the Other's Village, at night. They watch as Juliet and Jack walk up to a house, and Jack goes inside as Juliet walks away]
LOCKE: [Whispering] Sayid, you guard the front. I'll go around and cover the back. [to Kate] You head in through the side door.
KATE: I'm going in alone?
LOCKE: It's better if you're the first one he sees.
KATE: Alright.
[They all run to the house. Kate goes in the side door, and hears piano playing. She walks down a hallway, and comes to a room where Jack sits playing the piano. Jack turns and sees her.]
KATE: Hi.
JACK: What are you doing here?
KATE: I came to get you.
JACK: Get out of here! Right now. Go.
KATE: Jack!
[Jack stands up]
JACK: Kate! They're watching me!
[Kate looks up and notices cameras on the walls]
JACK: Get out of here!
KATE: I'm not leaving you!
JACK: Yes you are!
[The door bursts open and Others holding guns rush in]
MAN: Get down! Get down!
RYAN: Get down! Get her down!
JACK: Don't hurt her! Don't hurt her!
[They grab Kate and put her on the ground]
RYAN: [Pointing his gun at Jack] Step back, Doc. Step. Back.
[More Others run in, holding Sayid and slamming him on the ground]
RYAN: Hold him still!
KATE: Jack! Jack?! Jack!
RYAN: [Speaking to Kate while pointing a gun at her head] Who else is with you?
KATE: Jack?
JACK: Just answer the question, Kate.
RYAN: Ok, one more time. [He cocks the gun] Who else is with you?
KATE: Nobody. Nobody else. It was just us.
[Cut to Ben's bedroom. He lays in the dark, not sleeping. Hearing a sound, he presses a control that lifts part of the bed so that he is nearly sitting]
BEN: Alex?
[He cuts on a light, and sees Locke entering with a gun]
BEN: John!
LOCKE: Shhhh. [Whispering] Keep your voice down.
BEN: [Calmly and reassuringly] All right. It's all right, John. You don't have to point the gun at me. I can tell you where Jack is.
LOCKE: I'm not looking for Jack. I'm looking for the submarine.
[Commercial break]
LOCKE: The submarine... where is it?
BEN: I'm not sure what you mean, John. What submarine?
LOCKE: The one you use to travel to and from the island. The one your man Mikhail told me about... right before I killed him.
ALEX: [Outside Ben's bedroom door] Dad? Who are you talking to?
BEN: Alex, don't come in here!
[Locke opens the door and grabs Alex, covering her mouth as she tries to cry out]
LOCKE: [to Ben] Tell her to be quiet!
BEN: Alex! Please!
TOM: [From outside the front door] Ben?! You awake?!
ALEX: No!
[Locke takes Alex and goes into the closet, closing the door]
TOM: [From outside the front door] I'm coming in!
BEN: What is it?
TOM: It's Austen and Jarrah. They're here. Somehow they found us.
BEN: Where are they now?
TOM: We captured them. We're holding them over at my place. Want me to help you get out there?
BEN:No. Separate them. I want to know how they found us.
TOM: What about Juliet and Shephard? Tomorrow--
BEN: Let me worry about that. Just go.
TOM: Got it.
BEN: Richard? Wait a minute.
TOM: I'll wait outside.
BEN: I want you to bring me the man from Tallahassee.
RICHARD: What do you need him for?
BEN: Just do it. Now.
RICHARD: Ok.
[Richard and Tom leaves, and Locke and Alex come out of the closet]
LOCKE: The man from Tallahassee? What is that... some kind of code?
BEN: No, John, unfortunately we don't have a code for "There's a man in my closet with a gun to my daughter's head". Although we obviously should.
LOCKE: Sayid... he had a pack with him. [Pointing at Alex] I want her to retrieve it.
BEN: Okay... But you should know my daughter currently hates me. So I'm not sure holding me hostage is your best option.
ALEX: Dad! [to Locke] I'll get your bag.
[she leaves]
[FLASHBACK]
[Locke enters a florist shop. His father and Mrs. Talbot are looking at flowers]
MRS. TALBOT: [Speaking to a sales assistant] I'm looking for something really stunning, something that will grab everyone's attention on the table. Honey? What do you think of this one?
ANTHONY: That looks good. What do you think?
MRS. TALBOT: I like it. Maybe just a little larger.
ANTHONY: Yeah.
[He looks up and sees Locke standing there]
ANTHONY: Larger would be good. Um...I'll go over there and take a look.
[He walks over to Locke]
ANTHONY: Hello, John.
LOCKE: Gonna be a big to-do, or just the two of you and a preacher? I guess you couldn't invite me, huh? That would make for... awkward introductions.
ANTHONY: How did you even know that I was going to--
LOCKE: I know because her son came to me and asked why I gave you a kidney. He's on to you. But he doesn't have any proof, so he came to me, hoping I would vouch for you.
ANTHONY: What did you say to him?
LOCKE: You're conning her, aren't you? You're going to marry her for her money, right?
ANTHONY: What is it you want, John?
LOCKE: I want you to end it. I want you to call off the wedding.
ANTHONY: Why are you doing this?
LOCKE: Because! Because it's not fair! You make people think that you're their family. And then you leave their life in ruins. And I'm not going to let you do it again! You're going to call off your engagement and go... or I'm going to tell her the truth. I want to hear you say it! You say you're going to leave!
ANTHONY: Ok, John. You got it.
[He turns and walks away]
[Back in Ben's room]
BEN: Would you mind helping me get into my chair? No tricks, I promise. I just want some dignity. You of all people should understand what it means to want some dignity.
[Locke gets up and gets the chair]
BEN: Thank you. So, tell me John. How do you expect to pilot our submarine? I mean, it's a complicated piece of machinery. You don't just press "Submerge".
LOCKE: I'll figure something out. For all you know I was a Commander in the Navy. Put your arm around my neck. I'll lift under your knees.
BEN: What's in the pack, John? If you met Mikhail that means you were in the communications station. Which means you found the explosives. So you're not planning to pilot the submarine anywhere, are you? You're planning to destroy it. I know you, John Locke.
LOCKE: You don't know me at all.
BEN: I know you were born in California. I know you were raised in foster care. I know you wasted a big part of your life in Tustin, pushing papers at a company that manufactured industrial boxes. I know you spent the 4 years prior to your arrival on this island in a wheelchair. And I know how you ended up in it. Tell me, John... did it hurt?
LOCKE: I felt my back break. What do you think?
[Cut to Kate inside a room with a pool table. She sits on the table, working her hand-cuffed hands around until they are in front of her. The door opens and she looks up as Tom comes in]
TOM: I didn't think I'd see you again so soon, Kate.
[Jack enters]
TOM: [Pointing to his own head] Be careful in here.
JACK: Thanks.
[He walks over and pulls up a chair to sit on]
JACK: They hurt you?
KATE: No. They hurt you?
JACK: [Chuckles] No.
KATE: What is all this?
JACK: This is where they live.
KATE: And the people they took... the kids?
JACK: They're all safe.
KATE: Safe? So you're with them now.
JACK: I'm not with anyone, Kate.
[She stands and walks over to him]
KATE: What did they do to you?!
JACK: Nothing.
KATE: Then why are you acting like this?
JACK: There's no way... you... there's no way that I could...
KATE: I came here to help you! So why don't you just tell me why you're--
JACK: [Shouting]I told you not to come back here for me!
KATE: I didn't think you meant it.
[Jack starts crying, and Kate touches his hand, sitting in front of him]
KATE: What did they do to you Jack?
JACK: I made a deal with them. They're going to let me go.
KATE: Where?
JACK:Home.
KATE: When?
JACK: First thing in the morning. [Jack leans in and whispers] I can bring back help, it's our best chance.
KATE: You trust these people? They are liars! Why would you believe a word that--
JACK: I trust them because you told me to, Kate. When you asked me to save Sawyer's life.
KATE: Jack. What did they tell you?
[Juliet enters]
JULIET: Jack, we need to go.
JACK: I'll be right there.
[She leaves]
JACK: I asked that you not come back here for me and I wish...I wish that you hadn't.
[He stands up]
JACK: But I will come back here for you.
[He leaves]
[FLASHBACK]
[Locke pulls up to his apartment in his car, and gets out carrying groceries, as he walks by, two plain-clothes cops are waiting for him]
DETECTIVE MASON: John Locke?
LOCKE: Yeah.
DETECTIVE MASON: Detective Mason. That's Detective Reed. Do you mind if we ask you a few questions?
LOCKE: No, of course not.
DETECTIVE MASON: Do you know a man named Peter Talbot?
LOCKE: [Hesitating] No, I don't think so.
DETECTIVE REED: Thin, brown hair, 20's?
DETECTIVE MASON: If it will be helpful we believe he was here in your apartment two days ago.
LOCKE: Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Yeah, he was a solicitor. I sent him away.
DETECTIVE MASON: Mr. Talbot's family is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 million dollars. So I'm curious, what exactly was he selling you door-to-door?
LOCKE: Well, I... look I told you I don't know him so...
DETECTIVE MASON: Then why was your name and address on a piece of paper in his pocket, Mr. Locke?
LOCKE: Why would you be looking through his pockets?
DETECTIVE MASON: Because Peter Talbot's dead.
[Back to Ben's room. Ben is in the wheelchair]
BEN: It wasn't easy you know...being in that hatch with you all the time... knowing you had no business walking around... knowing I couldn't even ask you about it without telling you who I really was.
LOCKE: So ask me now. Now that I know who you really are.
[Ben wheels over, speaking earnestly]
BEN: Was it immediate? It started the moment you got here?
LOCKE: Yeah.
BEN: And you were just walking? The feeling returned right after the crash? That day?
LOCKE: That's what immediate means, Ben. You're wondering why it hasn't happened for you. You're not recovering as fast as you'd like. How long's it been since Jack fixed ya? A week? Now that I think about it, how'd you get sick in the first place?
BEN: Are you afraid it will go away, John? Is that why you want to destroy the submarine? Because you know if you ever leave this island you'll be back in the chair?
LOCKE: [Ignoring the question] You got anything to eat?
[Sayid sits chained to a playground, guarded by Others. He sees Alex walk up.]
RYAN: Hey. Go on home kid, you know you're not supposed to be here.
ALEX: My father sent me to get his pack.
RYAN: Why?
ALEX: I don't know Ryan, but he told me to get it.
RYAN: Alright, here you go.
[Alex takes the pack and starts to walk away]
SAYID: You're Alex aren't you?
=#cd5c5c]RYAN[/color]: Hey, can it.
ALEX: How do you know my name?
SAYID: Because you look like your mother.
ALEX: My mother is dead.
SAYID: I'm sure that's what they told you.
[Ryan gets up and strikes Sayid in the stomach with his gun]
RYAN : Get going, Alex. [to Sayid] Keep your mouth shut.
[Cut to Ben and Locke in Ben's living room. Locke turns on the lights]
LOCKE: Where do you get electricity?
We have two giant hamsters running on a massive wheel at our secret underground cave...
LOCKE: Yeah, that's funny.
BEN: There's leftovers in the refrigerator. Help yourself.
[Locke opens the fridge and takes out some chicken]
BEN: I ate most of the dark meat. Sorry.
[Locke starts eating]
LOCKE: Hmm. I never really appreciated chicken until right now.
BEN: I know you think you need to do this, John, but if you blow up my submarine, I have a big problem with my people.
LOCKE: Is that supposed to be an incentive not to blow it up?
BEN: I was born on this island. Not many of my people can say that. Most of them were recruited and brought here and as much as they love this place... as much as they would do anything to defend it... they need to know they can leave if they want to. The sub maintains that illusion.
LOCKE: So you're lying to them.
BEN: [Frustrated] No. There here because they want to be here. Some of them are just not ready to make a full... commitment yet. But you John... you've already made that commitment. And now you have a choice... because if you stop and if you think, I can show you things. Things I know you want to see very badly. Let me put it so you'll understand. Picture a box. You know something about boxes, don't you John? What if I told you that somewhere on this island there's a very large box... and whatever you imagined, whatever you wanted to be in it... when you opened that box, there it would be. What would you say about that, John?
LOCKE: I'd say I hope that box is big enough to imagine yourself up a new submarine.
BEN: Why are you so angry, John?
LOCKE: Because you're cheating. You and your people. Communicate with the outside world whenever you want to you... you come and go as you please... you use electricity and running water and guns... you're a hypocrite... a Pharisee. You don't deserve to be on this island. If you had any idea what this place really was... you wouldn't be putting chicken in your refrigerator.
BEN: You've been here 80 days, John. I've been hear my entire life. So how is it you think you know this island better than I do?
LOCKE: Because you're in the wheelchair and I'm not.
[Alex comes up to the house and enters, giving Locke the pack]
BEN: Did you have any problems?
[She shakes her head]
LOCKE: Okay. Here's how this is gonna work. She's gonna take me to the sub. Once were there, I let her go.
BEN: John, she's done enough. Let me take you.
LOCKE: I don't want you to slow me down. [To Alex] Come on. Let's go.
BEN: John, before you go you should know... Jack and I made a deal. In less than an hour he's leaving this island on that submarine and it's a one way ticket. The anomaly wiped out our communications. We have no way of contacting the outside world. Which means when that sub leaves, it can never come back. So whether you destroy the submarine or whether you let it go, the end result is the same. No one will find this island.
LOCKE: [To Alex] Let's go. Come on.
[Alex and Locke leave and begin to walk to the sub]
ALEX: You know he's manipulating you, right?
LOCKE: How's that?
ALEX: That's what my father does. He manipulates people. He makes you think it's your idea, but it's his.
LOCKE: I'll have to keep that in mind.
[They come out of the woods to the water]
ALEX: The submarine's down there. At the end of the dock.
LOCKE: I'm sorry I had to involve you in this.
[Locke goes off to the dock, and Alex heads back. As she does, Danielle watches from the bushes]
[Locke climbs down into the sub and looks around, setting up the explosives]
[Cut to Ben's house. He puts away the chicken. The door opens, and Jack and Juliet come in]
JACK: Look I know you don't owe me anything, but I need to ask you for one last favor.
BEN: You don't knock?
JACK: I need you to let my friends go... after I'm gone.
BEN: And if I said no would that stop you from leaving?
JACK: Of course it would.
BEN: Your friends are only here to rescue you, but you seem to be doing a good job of rescuing yourself so... I suppose there's no reason to keep them here.
JACK: Do I have your word on that?
BEN: You have my word.
[He shakes Jack's hand]
BEN: I'll let them go, just as soon as you've left the island.
[Jack turns to leave]
BEN: [to Juliet] Well, I guess this is it.
JULIET: Thank you, Ben... for keeping your promise.
[Ben nods and smiles slightly as they leave]
[Cut to Locke walking back from the sub as Jack, Juliet, and the Others head towards it. Locke is spotted by Ryan]
RYAN : Hey! Hold it right there. Get your hands up. Get down. I said get down.
[Locke puts up his hands and kneels]
JACK: What are you doing here, John?
LOCKE: I'm sorry, Jack.
JACK: Sorry for what?
[The sub explodes]
[FLASHBACK]
[Locke enters his father's apartment/hotel room(?) ]
LOCKE: What did you do?
ANTHONY: John?
LOCKE: Tell me. Tell me you didn't do it.
ANTHONY: What are you talking about?
LOCKE: Tell me that you didn't kill that kid!
ANTHONY: What? You think I had something to do with Peter's death?
LOCKE: I tell you to end things with his mother and the next thing you know he's dead!
ANTHONY: John now calm down, please. Think about what you're saying. Why would I kill Peter?
LOCKE: He was on to you!
ANTHONY: John, I've been doing this for a long time. I'm not sweating some rich kid.
LOCKE: Then why are you still here?!
ANTHONY: What do you mean?
LOCKE: I tell you to leave. You tell me you're gonna leave town. Why are you still here?!
ANTHONY: Now listen John. I'll be honest with you. I didn't end it. I was looking for an angle. I wanted to make some money before I skipped out. But then all this happened.
[He grabs a bottle and pours drinks]
ANTHONY: Peter died and everything just went straight into the tank. She's devastated. She's called off the wedding. There's no profit in it, John. I'm a con man, not a murderer.
LOCKE: She called off the wedding?
ANTHONY: She said she couldn't deal with it. She needs to be alone.
LOCKE: So, If I were to call her, right now, that's what she would tell me?
ANTHONY: Phones right over there, John.
[Locke walks to the phone]
LOCKE: What's her number--
[Anthony tackles him and throws him out of the window]
[Cut to Locke in a hospital bed. The cops are there]
DETECTIVE MASON: Mr. Locke we know this isn't what you want to hear, but your father's gone. We know he fled to Mexico shortly after your... encounter, then he disappeared. I'm sorry, but he could be anywhere in the world right now.
[A nurse, William, comes in]
WILLIAM: Alright detectives, that's enough. Mr. Locke has work to do today.
DETECTIVE MASON: We'll let you know if anything develops.
[The cops leave and William opens the shades over the window]
WILLIAM: John, John, John. We have got ourselves quite a day ahead of us, my friend. It's a fine time to get you up out of that bad.
LOCKE: No. I don't want to.
WILLIAM: I don't remember asking.
[William takes off the covers, then sets up a wheelchair]
WILLIAM: Now. Most people struggle with this at first, but don't worry... you'll get used to it.
LOCKE: Uh...no...no...please...I...I can't do this.
WILLIAM: John, you fell 8 stories and survived, okay. I don't want to hear about what you can't do. Now let's go. It's gonna be alright.
LOCKE: No I don't... no I don't think...
[Williams lifts Locke and puts him in the chair]
WILLIAM: It's gonna be fine, John
LOCKE: I don't think I...think I can...
WILLIAM: You're fine. There ya go. There ya go, buddy. Wasn't that bad, was it? I'll be right back, buddy.
[Locke sits in the chair and starts to cry]
[Cut to the Other's Village. Locke is chained to the ceiling in a dark room. Ben and Richard open the door]
BEN: Well, John, you've really gone and done it now.
LOCKE: You don't have to pretend to be disappointed anymore. We both know you wanted it to happen. That's why you left the C4 in Sayid's bag because you wanted me to make it happen.
BEN: Uncuff him please, Richard.
[Richard walks forward and uncuffs Locke]
RICHARD: You gonna do anything stupid?
LOCKE: No sir.
BEN: Do you remember earlier, John, when you called me a cheater... when you said I didn't deserve to live on this island? Well get this, there I was shaking hands with Jack and thinking I'd give almost anything to come up with a way to stop him from leaving, because to let him go would be a sign of weakness, of failure, of defeat. People would see that. They would know it. And that, John, would be the end of me. But to kill him... that would be cheating... because my people also heard me make a promise and to break my word... that would be the end of me too. And then you came striding out of the jungle, John, to make my dream come true.
LOCKE: You're not gonna start talking about the magic box again are you?
BEN: No John. I'm gonna show you what came out of it.
[They go down a hallway]
BEN: When I asked you earlier if it hurt when you suffered your injury, I think you misunderstood me. Seems fairly obvious that when a person's back smashes into a hard surface after being thrown from a building, that that's gonna sting a little. But I really wasn't asking about the physical pain.
LOCKE: What, you wanna know if it hurt my feelings?
BEN: No John. I wanted to know what it felt like when your own father tried to kill you. He's the reason you destroyed the submarine, isn't he? You're afraid. You're afraid of him and this is the one place he can never find you. This is the one place he can never get to.
LOCKE: What do you want from me?
BEN: I don't know how it happened, but you seem to have some communion with this island, John, and that makes you very very important. You have no idea what you're talking about of course, but in time you'll have a better understanding of things. So what do I want? I want to help you, John.
LOCKE: Why?
BEN: Because I'm in a wheelchair and you're not. Are you ready to see?
[Ben wheels back as Richard unlocks and opens a large door. Locke looks in to see his father bound and gagged in a chair]
LOCKE: Dad?
