Original subtitles

[narrator] Previously on Lost…

You brought me here to operate on you. You think I trust you?

That I'm gonna just do the surgery and hope that you let me go?

Jack.

You have to do it.

How did they get you to ask me? What did they offer you?

-Nothing. -Then what are you doing here?

They're gonna kill Sawyer.

Tomorrow morning. First thing. I'll get it out.

And I'll keep you alive.

I'm ready.

No! No!

Sawyer, please! You get your hands off of him!

[Jack] I just made a small incision in Ben's kidney sack.

[ECG beeping rapidly]

Now, if I don't stitch that back up in the next hour.

he's dead.

Now get in here and bring that walkie-talkie.

[Juliet sniffling]

Hello.

[moans softly]

I fell asleep?

With candles burning. That's real safe.

We don't have to keep doing this, you know.

Are you saying that because you don't think it's gonna work?

Or because you're afraid he'll find out?

Lift up your shirt.

[wincing]

Okay.

Some doctor you are.

I'm not doing this as your doctor. I'm doing it as your sister.

I don't like you being here alone. Come stay with me.

I like living on the beach.

This is Miami, Rachel.

Everything's on the beach.

[ECG beeping rapidly]

[Jack] You have about an hour head start before they come after you.

Take the walkie, take Sawyer, go.

[Kate] Wait, where are you? Where are you?

[Jack] Kate, listen to me!

Do you remember what I told you on the beach?

Do you remember what story I told you when you were stitching me up?

-Do you remember it? -Yes! Yes! I remember!

When you get safe, you radio me and you tell me that story.

Jack, please.

If I don't get a call from you in the next hour,

I'm gonna know something went wrong, and he dies!

-I can't leave without you! -Yes, you are. Go.

-Jack, I can't! -Go! Now!

-I can't! -Kate! Damn it! Run!

Juliet, stop the bleeding and stitch him up.

She's not a surgeon. She can't fix this.

He's right.

[ECG continues beeping rapidly]

[both grunting]

Let's go.

-[electronic voice] Warning. -Sawyer, let's go!

-Warning. -Sawyer!

[alarm blaring]

Then what the hell do you suggest we do?

Go get Danny.

Then find Austen and Ford and bring them back.

No. You do that and Ben dies.

-Go. -No, you think I'm lying?

You think that this is a bluff? I will let him die.

No. Jack. You won't.

Go. Get them back.

If you have to,

kill them.

[door buzzing]

[cell phone ringing]

-Hello? -[Diana] Dr. Burke?

Yes.

This is Diana from Mittelos Bioscience.

I'm calling to confirm your appointment tomorrow.

-2:00, right? -2:00.

Dr. Alpert asked me to tell you

that he's very much looking forward to meeting you.

-Me, too. Thank you. -Goodbye.

[muffled chatter]

[woman giggles]

[cell phone ringing]

Stay here.

-[Ed] Hello, Juliet. -Hey.

Hey, Ed.

Why exactly are you here?

Oh. I, uh, today's lab work,

I got home and I realized that I inverted some numbers.

And it couldn't wait until the morning?

-Uh, Edmund? -[chuckling] I'm sorry. How rude of me.

Juliet, this is Sherry. Sherry, this is Juliet, my ex-wife.

Juliet's leaving.

I am.

Jules?

Could you please turn off the lights?

[ECG beeping rapidly]

You haven't thought this through, Jack. Your plan's not gonna work.

Yeah? Why's that?

Your friends aren't going to make it back to your side of the island

because we're not on that island.

We're on a smaller island, two miles off shore.

Afraid so.

So, why don't we see if we can come up with some kind of peaceful resolution?

-[chuckles] A peaceful resolution? -That's right.

Is that what you call asking me to kill Ben while on the operating table?

-"Make it look like an accident"? -That's ridiculous.

-She wants Ben to die. -Tom, he's lying!

She said if I did it, that she would protect me!

Enough!

Juliet, get out.

-Tom, he's lying! -You said you can't stitch him up.

Then you don't need to be in here.

Go, Julie.

Don't let him fool you. He'll never let a patient just die.

Hey!

Hey! Can anybody hear me?

-What happened? -Open the cage!

-Where's-- -Just open the damn cage!

That's our island?

What, you didn't believe me when I told you before?

We need a boat.

Yeah, a couple of towels and a buffet lunch.

We'll just keep following the beach.

There's gotta be one around here somewhere.

How else do they get back and forth?

Why don't we just stop and ask for directions?

-[Kate] Jack, are you there? -Yeah.

-Yeah, I'm here. -Are you okay?

-I'm fine. -Tell him I said hi. Get to the point!

Jack, we need a boat.

We need some way to get off of this island.

You heard her.

How do they get off this island?

What's he doing?

[gun shot]

Kate? Kate!

Go! Go!

Kate!

Come on!

Come on! Go, go!

[man groaning]

This way!

[man] Jason, you all right?

Look there! Over there!

Come on! Get inside! Get inside! Go!

Come on!

Be quiet, be quiet, be quiet.

[man shushing]

Be quiet.

-Where'd they go? -That way.

[both panting]

Nice to meet you, Sheena.

[Tom] Is it true?

-Is what true? -What you said.

Did Juliet really ask you to kill him?

Yeah, and in about 40 minutes, she's gonna get her wish.

[Ben] Hey.

That's not helping anything.

Now,

could somebody please get Juliet?

[Sherry] Juliet?

Edmund wants to see you in his office.

Do you work here?

I'm the new research assistant.

Of course you are.

I want in.

-In on what? -I know what you're doing, Juliet.

-I'm not really sure what you-- -I read your notes.

I know what you took from the lab.

The only thing I don't know is who's your guinea pig?

Ed, I've…

I've been doing my research in my own lab on my own time.

-I don't really see how-- -It's your sister, isn't it?

Look, Jules, there's two ways this plays out.

One is your research is potentially genius.

And the other,

it raises some very serious ethical questions.

Maybe even criminal concerns.

But if you collaborate with me,

based on my reputation,

all this is viewed as cutting-edge science.

And we will win prizes, and drink champagne,

and do a lot of good for people.

Why don't I give you some time to think about it?

[Tom] Juliet.

Ben's awake.

How?

Shephard says he's a spinal surgeon, not an anesthesiologist.

Ben's asking for you.

This a hobby of yours, Underdog, digging holes?

Yep. That and basket weaving. Want one?

Happen to have a tunnel to the mainland?

No, but I've got a boat.

-Can we use it? -Yeah.

-But we've got to hurry. -Hold on a second, sister.

You just happen to find us in the woods,

you just happen to have a boat, and you're gonna let us use it, huh?

-There's something we need to do first. -Oh, gee.

My boyfriend is being held prisoner.

If you help me rescue him,

I promise you, I'll get you back to the other island.

Your boyfriend, his name happen to be Karl?

Yeah.

Come on.

[monitor beeping rapidly]

-I stopped the surgery. -I know.

I've been able to hear you for a few minutes now.

It's very clever of you. I should have seen it coming.

-Are you in pain? I can-- -No.

But thanks all the same.

[door opens]

I'd like to speak to Juliet alone, please, Jack.

-No, no, I'm sorry. -Please. I'm asking you.

One gentleman to another.

It won't hurt you to give me three minutes, will it?

Knowing I have only 27 left.

-If you touch him, if you try to-- -I won't.

You've got three minutes.

[door closes]

[inaudible dialog]

I'm Tom, by the way.

They've got history.

I would like for you to go back in there, put Ben under and finish the surgery.

And why would I wanna do that?

Because I'm going to go help your friends escape.

Thank you for taking the time to let us make our pitch, Dr. Burke.

Mittelos Bioscience is based in Oregon,

we're just outside of Portland.

Uh… [chuckles] These shots might seem a little cheeseball,

but our people really are this happy.

Now, why? Because we're privately funded. Privately funded means freedom.

We organize trips every week in and around the Portland area,

which is just awesome for hiking, and biking, and river running.

Look, when your company reached out to me, I was flattered,

but I don't really know why you would want me.

Is it true that you successfully impregnated a male field mouse?

He didn't carry to term.

-You mind if I ask you something? -Sure.

What do you see?

Uh, it's a human womb, obviously.

Judging from the decomposition of the endometrium,

I would say that the woman was somewhere in her 70s.

Actually, she's 26.

What happened to her?

What if I told you that you could have complete freedom and money to find out?

We think you're special, Dr. Burke,

and we want you to lead a team of highly trained people

because we think you're just that good.

I can't.

-Why can't you? -My ex-husband wouldn't let me. I…

He wouldn't want you to have this opportunity?

No, he doesn't want me to have anything. He would never give the okay.

Maybe we could reach out to him on your behalf.

Don't bother.

There must be something that he would respond to.

If he were hit by a bus, how about that? That would work.

-That was totally inappropriate. -No, no, no.

No, I…

I'm sorry that I've wasted your time.

-Dr. Burke, please, you-- -No. I'm sorry.

[voice breaking] Whatever you think I am, I'm not.

I'm not a leader, Mr. Alpert.

I'm a mess.

Oh, hell.

Karl's gotta be in there.

-What, you mean you ain't sure? -It's the only place I haven't looked.

-You know the guard? -Yeah.

-His name's Aldo. -Aldo? [scoffs]

Okay, Lollipop,

you wanna tell me how we're gonna get by him with one gun and no bullets?

I've got an idea.

Of course you do.

-Open the door! -Alex? What the hell are you doing?

They must've gotten out of their cages. I caught them in the jungle.

-Now, open up, Aldo! -Just stop!

Alex, you're not supposed to be here.

If your dad finds out, he's gonna kill me.

My dad was the one who told me to bring them here, to you.

Look, maybe you should call him. I'm sure he's got nothing better to do.

Danny, I need Ben.

[Danny] Why?

Listen, I got Alex here, she's got Austen and Ford with her--

[Danny] Damn it! Whatever she says, don't believe it!

You hold them right there, I'm on my--

Don't get mad at me just 'cause you were dumb enough

to fall for the old Wookiee prisoner gag.

Where's Karl?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Shoot him in the knee.

What?

Give me the rifle. We don't have time for this. I'll do it.

OK! All right! He's at the end of the hall! Room 23!

Keys are in my back pocket!

Damn good con, Freckles.

I almost believed you were gonna shoot that boy.

It wasn't a con.

Here it is!

[thumping electronic bass music playing]

[Kate] Sawyer!

Help!

Help!

Karl, we're here to help.

Is he okay?

Look, we got your boyfriend back. Now where's your damn boat?

[Danny] Idiot.

-Where are they? -I don't know. Alex was with them.

[Juliet] Danny!

We're letting them go.

-Letting them go? -Ben gave the order.

-Ben's in surgery! I was just there! -He woke up.

He woke up, huh?

Shephard won't finish the surgery

unless he knows his friends are off the island.

Do you want Ben to die?

I know Ben would rather die than let them go!

Hey.

How was the interview?

It's not for me.

-What? -It's fine.

They're too far away, anyway. It's Portland.

Jules, you didn't say no because of me?

Why would I wanna go all the way to Portland

for research that doesn't even work?

Because it does work.

I'm pregnant.

I'm… I'm pregnant.

-What? -Look, look.

I took a blood test, too. I didn't want to tell you till I was sure.

-It worked. -Yeah.

[laughing]

My whole life, all I've ever wanted was to have a baby

and now, because of you, I can!

Oh, God, now I just need to get healthy.

[sobbing] Now I just need to get healthy,

so I can see the little bugger get into an Ivy League school, you know?

Of course you will. You will.

Hey, now you can tell that bastard ex-husband of yours

what he can do with his ethics.

Because you're insufferable, and you're mean.

Well, you asked me for the truth, Mom, and that's…

Ed.

Let me call you later, okay? Okay, bye.

-Hello, Jules. What's up? -She's pregnant.

-Excuse me? -It worked. Rachel's pregnant.

Julie, that's…

Wow!

I need to… I need to see your labs. We'll have to verify the data.

No.

I'm not interested in publishing, Ed.

It's my sister.

Fine, then if you're not interested, why are you concerned if…

[tires screeching]

[people clamoring]

[ECG monitor beeping]

-[Jack] You okay? -Yeah.

I just don't like blood too much.

[Jack] Well, then you probably won't want to be looking at that.

So, if you really can get off the island,

why didn't you just take him to a facility?

Why all this?

Because ever since the sky turned purple, we…

[ECG beeping loudly]

-What the hell happened? -I just nicked an artery.

-Isn't that what you already did? -Yeah, that was on purpose.

Can you fix it?

Damn it!

-[Sawyer] You got him? -[Alex] I have him.

-Karl? -Nice ride.

-Help me. -We gotta go now, okay?

Can you stand? All right. Come on.

Okay.

So, you're the boss's daughter, huh?

I never saw that coming. Let's go, Cheech.

We're going for a little ride.

-Careful. -All right. Easy.

I'm gonna put you in the boat, all right? [grunts]

Wait, wait.

-Are you okay? -Danny.

No. Sawyer.

Danny!

-No! -[Juliet] Danny!

[beeping rapidly]

-What happened? Is he-- -I can't see.

-What? -I can't see. There's too much blood.

All right, get over here.

Tom, he's gonna die if you don't get over here right now.

Go.

Get out of here.

You heard the lady.

-Let's go! -Not you, Alex.

-You're staying. -Why?

We both know your father.

And the only way he'll let Karl live is if you're here when he wakes up.

I'm sorry, Alex.

Hey, Alex.

Hey.

I missed you.

I know. I missed you, too.

You have to go away now, but I'll see you real soon, okay?

I love you.

I have to go to sleep now.

Wait.

[Jack] Easy. Okay. Easy.

[beeping rapidly]

Wait, wait.

Keep it steady, damn it! Hold it steady.

[Kate] Jack, are you there?

All right, hold it up to me. The walkie. Hold it up to me.

-What about the surgery? -Just do it!

Yeah, I'm here, Kate. You okay?

Yeah, I… we've got a boat. They're letting us go.

Who's letting you go?

The blond woman.

-So you're safe? You and Sawyer? -Yes! Yeah.

Tell me.

Tell you?

The first day on the beach, the day of the crash,

the story that I told you, if you're safe, tell me.

-You think this is the best time to-- -Shut up!

You were doing surgery on a girl.

And you messed up.

You made a mistake.

You tore something on her back and all the nerves came loose.

And you said you were so afraid.

And you said the fear was so…

real.

And you didn't know what to do.

So you counted to five.

And then you weren't afraid any more.

[monitor beeps steadily]

And then it was just gone.

And you fixed her.

You saved her.

[sobs]

I need you to make me a promise, Kate.

Jack?

Promise me that you'll never come back here for me.

Don't come back, Kate.

-Jack, where are you? -Turn it off.

Jack? Jack! Please, where are--

[radio static crackling]

Tide's coming up.

We gotta go.

-Let's go. -Okay.

We have some paperwork we need you to sign,

but take your time, there's no rush.

Thank you.

[sobbing]

[ECG beeping steadily]

[door opens]

Were you able to remove the tumor?

Yeah.

You'll want to do a biopsy, see if it's malignant.

So, what now? I just go back to my cell?

Until they figure out what to do with you.

[scoffs]

"They."

What did he say?

-I'm sorry? -Ben.

What did he say that made you want to save his life?

-It doesn't really matter what he said. -It matters to me.

After everything that I have been put through,

you owe me an answer.

And I wanna know what he said.

[sobbing]

[man] Tissue?

Thank you. Thanks.

-Have we met? -Hello, Dr. Burke.

-Mr. Alpert? -I'm so sorry for your loss.

What are you doing here?

I saw what happened on the news

and your office said you were down here.

I just wanted to express my condolences in person

before I went back up to Portland. This is Ethan. He's one of my colleagues.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

He was hit by a bus.

I know. They say you were there when it happened. It must have been…

No, no. In our interview…

I said… I said that I wanted him to get hit by a bus.

Dr. Burke, I realize you're a little shook up right now,

but this is just a tragic accident.

You can't blame yourself. I don't even remember you saying that.

Why are you here, Mr. Alpert?

Look, uh, I know the timing is horrible,

but we came because we're that serious about getting you to come work with us.

Just give us six months.

If you need to, you'll be back before your sister gives birth.

How did you know that my--

We're very thorough in our recruitment process.

Can my sister come?

Won't work. We're pretty remote.

She wouldn't have access to the treatment that she needs.

But it's Portland. There's plenty of clinics and--

Actually, we're not quite in Portland.

I want to know what he said.

I've been on this island for three years, Jack.

Three years, two months and 28 days.

He said that if I…

let him live,

and I helped you,

that he would finally let me go home.
