Original subtitles

[narrator] Previously on Lost…

[woman] This is your daughter.

Her name's Clementine.

-Those are fake necklaces. -I'll take the one on the end.

Why'd you help me?

Juts one girl watching another girl's back, I guess.

[indistinct whispering]

Why are you telling me this?

Just do it, Freckles.

I think we should say he's mine.

There's other ways to do this.

After everyone we've lost…

I can't lose him, too.

My client insists that we…

handle the exchange of custody quietly.

You are going to lose the boy.

[Jack] That's Claire's mother.

Everything that Kate and I have done, it was for Aaron.

Who's Aaron?

I'm Ben.

It's nice to meet you, Ben.

If I let you out, will you take me with you,

to your people?

That's why I'm here.

[vehicle approaching]

[Sayid] Jin.

What are you doing here?

[gunshot]

[radio crackling]

-[Phil] Hello, Jin? -[Jin gasping]

Are you there?

-[static] -[groaning]

[Phil] Jin, can you hear me?

Hello?

Jin? It's Phil, man!

Where have you been? The Hostile escaped.

We're searching the east grid.

He's headed north.

How the hell do you know that?

Because he attacked me.

[Phil] What? Where are you?

Jin, are you still there?

Jin?

Jin!

[moaning] Help…

Please help.

[dramatic music playing]

Okay, everybody, listen up.

[Horace] We don't know yet if another attack is coming.

So everybody needs to be ready for your security assignments, okay?

Make sure you're in contact with your team leaders.

LaFleur's got search parties out,

but the Hostile's got a good jump on us.

We're pretty sure he used this fire as a diversion in order to escape.

Uh, is he talking about Sayid?

If he was locked up, how could he start the fire?

Who are you?

Jack Shephard. I'm… I'm new.

Well, Jack, the way he started the fire is he had help, okay?

Somebody torched that van.

And then that somebody let him out of his cell.

And since the security cameras didn't pick up

any Hostiles crossing the perimeter,

that means it was one of us.

Baxter, I want a full report on cleanup, ASAP.

[Baxter] You got it, Horace.

[indistinct conversations]

[Roger] Hey, you.

Yeah, you.

You're in the motor pool, right?

Uh, yeah.

You mind running that winch for me?

You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?

[sighs] Okay. No worries.

Just throw this lever,

when I tell you to stop, just pull it up.

-All right. -Simple.

-[Roger] Don't do it till I'm ready. -[Kate] Okay.

All right, crank her up.

[metal scraping]

So, they stuck you in the motor pool when you got here?

Yeah. Pretty much.

[Roger] Yeah, same thing happened to me.

Whoa, hold it, that's good. Right there. That's good.

I guess they couldn't sucker anybody into getting on that sub

if they told us we were gonna be grease monkeys and janitors.

Well, you gotta start somewhere, right?

Yeah.

What's your name?

I'm Kate.

Welcome aboard, Kate. I'm Roger. Roger Linus.

[uneasy music playing]

It's nice to meet you, Roger.

[vehicle approaching]

That's my kid.

That's my kid!

Hi.

Oh, my God!

Hey, Cassidy.

Oh, my God. I saw you on the news.

-I told all my friends, I know that woman. -[both laugh]

-Hi. -This is Aaron.

Hi, Aaron.

Say, "hi."

You survived a plane crash.

It's amazing.

I never thought I'd see you again, what are you doing here?

Sawyer sent me.

[opening theme music playing]

Sawyer.

So that son of a bitch is still alive?

He was when I left.

And he asked you to come here and give me an envelope full of money?

Well, he…

He told me where to find you, and…

said to take care of Clementine.

His daughter.

Well, she's asleep in her crib right now.

Want me to wake her up?

I, uh, shouldn't have bothered you.

I could've sent it and I probably should…

Why did you tell me all this?

Why'd you trust me?

Because I thought your daughter had a right to know her father cared.

Why didn't he come back with the rest of you?

The helicopter that we were on was running out of gas, so,

he jumped, so that we could make it to the boat.

[sighs]

What a coward.

[Cassidy sighs]

He was trying to do the right thing.

He was trying to get away from you.

I told him he had a daughter,

he never so much as lifted a finger to try to call her.

So now I'm supposed to think he's a hero, because he told you to come help us?

Hell, I bet this money's not even his, is it?

They gave us a settlement after the crash, and I didn't need--

You don't have to explain it, Kate.

You got the same look on your face I did, when he ditched me.

All I have for you is sympathy.

Is it his?

What?

Your son.

Is it Sawyer's?

No. No, I was…

pregnant before I met him.

That's not your baby, is it?

Kate, you just told me that you and your friends,

cooked a story for the whole world about what happened on that island.

So you tell me the truth about that.

Why are you lying to me about him?

Because I have to.

[switch clicks]

[door opens]

[Kate] What happened?

What the hell are you doing here?

That was Ben. That kid who was shot was Ben.

Was it Sayid? Did he shoot him?

Here's what you need to do, Kate.

Keep your mouth shut and stop askin' questions.

Puttin' any attention on yourself is the last thing I need now.

Now, scram, I don't want you here.

I just want to know what's going on.

[Horace] LaFleur!

What… What, uh…

What's she doing here?

-This is, uh… -I'm Kate.

Kate. She's new over at the motor pool.

I was seeing if she saw anything suspicious, but she didn't, so…

[inhales] You can run along. Thanks.

Have you checked out the Hostile's cell yet?

Was a little busy trying to keep the town from burning down, Horace.

Okay, well, then let's do it.

He didn't break out. Somebody let him out.

These are janitor's keys.

We've only got three janitors: there's Roger, Willie

and, uh, that new guy.

I just met him. His name's Jack.

Yeah, I brought him in from the sub. I'll go talk to him.

-Miles, you wanna come with me? -Yeah, sure, boss.

All right, I want you to find Jack and Hurley and Kate

as quick as you can. Put 'em in a house and sit on 'em.

-What for? -I don't want 'em talkin' to anybody else.

Things are starting to spin out of control.

-All right, I got it. -All right, go.

Who did this? Do you know who did this to my son?

Not yet but, we're working on it. How's he doing?

I don't know. Juliet told me to wait out here.

Let me see if I can get an update for you.

Thanks, Jim.

Roger, you happen to have your keys with you?

Yeah. Why, what do you need?

I must have left them at the house.

It's all right. Don't worry about it.

[machine beeping]

[Juliet] More gauze.

-Here's some gauze. -In here.

[woman] Here you go.

If we can't stop the hemorrhaging, we're just gonna have to pack the tract.

[woman] Okay.

[Sawyer] Where's the doctor?

The Looking Glass station till Friday.

-How's he doing? -[Juliet] Not well.

Hold on. He's still bleeding in there somewhere,

and I can't fix it.

-It's all right. -No, it's not all right.

Someone needs to get in there,

how can find the damage that bullet did and fix it.

[whispering] He needs a real surgeon.

[monitor beeping]

You're telling us we're under house arrest?

No. You're all free to leave whenever you want.

But I'll shoot you in the leg.

[Jack exhales]

And whose idea was this?

Who do you think?

Sawyer's just doing his job, Jack.

What the hell are you doing, tubby?

Checking to see if I'm disappearing.

What?

Back To The Future, man.

We came back in time to The Island and changed stuff.

So if little Ben dies, he'll never grow up to be big Ben,

who's the one who made us come back here in the first place

Which means we can't be here. And therefore, dude?

We don't exist.

You're an idiot.

Am I?

Yeah. It doesn't work like that.

You can't change anything.

Your maniac Iraqi buddy shot Linus.

That is what always happened.

It's just,

we never experienced how it all turns out.

That was really confusing.

Yeah, well… get used to it.

But the good news is that Linus didn't die,

so that means the kid can't either.

He'll be fine.

Didn't look like he was gonna be fine.

What if you're wrong?

Well, if I'm wrong then I guess we all stop existing,

and none of it matters anyway then, does it?

[door opens]

Doc, I need you to come with me.

Come with you where?

Julia said, kid's losing blood, we ain't got none to put in him,

so we need you to show us where he sprung a leak.

No.

What?

No. I'm not coming with you.

If you don't come with me, Jack, that kid's gonna die.

Then he dies.

What are you doing?

Making some sandwiches.

Figured everybody'd be getting hungry by now.

He's just a boy, Jack. You can't just let him die.

You heard Miles.

We can't change what's already happened.

This has nothing to do with me.

Unless you're supposed to save him.

Thirty years from now that boy is gonna be a man,

that locks me in a cage because he needs surgery.

Then you're going to come in

and you're going to beg me to operate on him

because he's threatening to murder Sawyer.

I've already done this once. [laughs]

I've already saved Benjamin Linus.

And I did it for you, Kate.

I don't need to do it again.

This is our fault.

We brought Sayid back. We caused this.

Well, when we were here before,

I spent all of my time trying to fix things.

But did you ever think that

maybe The Island just wants to fix things itself?

That maybe I was just…

getting in the way?

You know, I don't like the new you.

I liked the old you,

who wouldn't just sit around and wait for things to happen.

[exhales]

You didn't like the old me, Kate.

Hey, where are you going?

[gasping, coughing]

Just try to relax.

You're okay.

I'm sorry… Juliet?

One of the new people is here.

She heard Ben needed blood, says she's a universal donor.

This might hurt for a second.

Good, very brave.

So James told me that Jack wouldn't help,

but he didn't say why.

If I understood why Jack does what he does,

I sure as hell wouldn't be sitting here.

Off-island did something happen with you two?

We were engaged.

Does that count?

What's going on?

Roger, I asked you to wait outside…

No, what's going on with my kid?

Kate is giving us some fresh blood so we can transfuse Ben…

Well, I'm not waiting outside.

You know, he could stay with me.

Then you could check on Ben,

and Roger here could keep me company, make sure I don't pass out.

Okay.

Roger, have a seat.

Thanks.

Sure.

[sighs] He stole my keys.

Sorry?

LaFleur asked me where my keys were.

That bastard doesn't ask any questions he doesn't know the answers to.

Which means my son stole my keys so he could bust that animal out of jail.

Why… Why would he do that?

Because of me.

You got kids?

No.

I thought I was gonna be the greatest father ever.

Well…

Guess it didn't work out that way.

What about his mother, she still around?

No, she's dead.

She died the day he was born.

Sorry.

Yeah, me too.

[exhales]

I tried to do what I thought she'd want me to do.

But…

I guess a boy just needs his mother.

[Ben choking]

[monitor beeping]

-What's going on? -He's going into hypoxic shock.

What does that mean?

He needs more oxygen. Roger, get out of here.

-What? -[Juliet] Get him out of here!

-Please, Roger, just wait outside. -Wait a minute.

[Ben continues coughing]

Let me get this straight.

All this already happened?

Yes.

So this conversation we're having right now,

we already had it?

Yes!

Then what am I gonna say next?

I don't know.

Hah! Then your theory is wrong!

For the thousandth time, you dingbat, the conversation already happened,

but not for you and me.

For you and me,

it's happening right now.

Okay, answer me this:

If all this already happened to me,

then why don't I remember any of it?

Because once Ben turned that wheel,

time isn't a straight line for us anymore.

Our experiences in the past and the future

occurred before these experiences right now.

Say that again?

-Shoot me. Please. Please? -Aha!

I can't shoot you because if you die in 1977,

Then you'll never come to The Island on the freighter

-thirty years from now! -I can die!

Because I've already come to The Island on the freighter.

Any of us can die, because this is our present.

You said Ben couldn't die

because he still has to become the leader of the Others.

Because this is his past.

But when we first captured Ben and Sayid, like, tortured him,

then why wouldn't he remember

getting shot by that same guy when he was a kid?

[suspenseful music playing]

Huh. I hadn't thought of that.

Huh.

How is he?

He's stable.

Is he gonna be okay?

He's got some fresh blood, which is a good thing.

Roger, I need you to go out to the medical station.

[Juliet] There's some supplies there

-that we don't have here. -Okay.

Hey, I just want to say, I…

I want to say thanks.

I know that you're doing everything you can.

To save him.

All right, I'm gonna go, okay?

Is he any better?

[Juliet] He is stable now.

But I can't, um…

I can't fix it.

What about the sub?

-Can we take him somewhere? -No.

It's gone, won't be back for months.

But he can't die, right?

He is going to die.

He's in a medical situation that is not resolvable.

Okay, but we can't sit and do nothing.

I mean, there's got to be someone who can help. We have an entire…

What?

Maybe there's something they can do.

"They?"

The Others.

-You got him? -Yeah.

-Ready? One, two, three, go. -Careful.

[grunting]

Okay, let's go.

-I'm coming with you. -No, no, no.

If something goes wrong or we get caught, it doesn't matter for me.

But you got a life here.

Besides, if Sawyer knew that I got you involved in this, he'd kill me.

How are you gonna manage?

I'll manage. Don't worry.

Kate… Sawyer's gonna find out Ben's gone,

and when he does, I have to tell him what happened.

But I'll give you as much of a head start as I can.

Good luck.

[engine starting]

[Ben] There is someone…

Someone here in Los Angeles.

-Let me take you to them. -Who?

The same person that's gonna show us how to get back to The Island.

Is that what this is about?

-You knew about this? -No, no, I was…

That is why, you're pretending to care about Aaron, to convince me to go back?

I wasn't pretending anything.

This is insane. You guys are crazy.

-Kate… -Jack! Don't!

Mommy, I'm thirsty.

I need some milk.

[woman on PA] Price check on two. Need a price check on two.

You want chocolate milk or regular milk?

Juice box.

You don't want milk anymore?

Juice box.

Um, excuse me, where are your juice boxes?

-Aisle five. -Thank you very much.

[cell phone ringing]

[woman on PA] No waiting on checkstand three.

Aaron?

[man] Here you go. Thanks.

Um, excuse me, have you seen my son?

Sorry?

Little three-year-old blond kid…

Aaron!

Aaron!

Aaron!

Aaron!

[dramatic music playing]

Excuse me, I've lost my son. He's three, he's a blond boy…

We'll make an announcement.

No. You have to seal the store.

[imperceptible]

Aaron?

Hey!

Is this your mommy?

Honey, is this your mommy?

I found him in the fruit section.

He looked lost. I was getting ready to make an announcement.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[mouths] Sure.

It's okay, honey. Mommy's got you.

Mommy's got you.

[Ben gasping, coughing]

Tell my…

[coughing]

Tell my…

Try not to talk, okay?

Tell my dad I'm sorry I stole his keys.

-[vehicle approaching] -[Ben coughing]

I know you gotta stop me…

but I can't just let that kid die.

[sighs]

Damn it, Freckles, I ain't here to stop you.

I'm here to help you.

-Hi, Auntie Kate! -Hi, Clementine.

-Is your mommy home? -Sure, I'll go get her.

Okay.

They're going back to The Island?

Why in God's name would they do that?

-I don't know. -[kids laughing]

Jack says that we weren't supposed to leave.

Well, Jack sounds like a piece of work.

You look exhausted. Drink this,

curl up on my bed, take a nap. I'll watch your fella.

I lost him.

What?

I don't know what happened.

We were in the supermarket and I turned around for one second,

[inhales] and he was gone.

And you know, the crazy thing is… is that…

As scared as I was,

I wasn't surprised.

All I could think was…

"It's about time."

Why would I feel that way?

I mean, why would I expect him to be taken?

Because you took him, Kate.

No, I…

Claire was gone.

She left him.

I had to take him. He needed me.

You needed him.

Sawyer broke your heart.

How else were you supposed to fix it?

[beep]

Figure out how you were gonna carry him out there by yourself?

The line's just right over there, right?

The Others are on the other side?

Well, they ain't right on the other side.

-We better get moving. -Hey.

Why are you doing this?

Why are you helping me?

[sighs] When I found out Ben was gone

and Juliet told me what you were up to,

I asked that exact damn question.

Why are you helping Ben?

[sighs] And she said.

"No matter what he's gonna grow up to be,

it's wrong to let a kid die."

So…

[grunts]

…that's why I'm doing this.

I'm doing it for her.

Where's Jack?

Uh, he's in the shower, I think.

Is he in trouble?

I just need to talk to him.

You two mind giving us some privacy?

Hey. Ask me more questions about time travel.

[door closes]

I needed you.

I'm sorry?

That kid was bleeding out,

you're a surgeon, and I needed you.

That kid is Ben.

It's not Ben yet. He's just a kid.

[sighs]

Juliet, I'm sorry, I can't help you.

I'm not asking for your help, Jack.

You made it clear you weren't interested.

It's up to Sawyer and Kate now.

What?

She's trying to save him.

And I sent James after her to help,

because they actually care.

I came back here because I care, Juliet.

I came back here because I was trying to save you.

We didn't need saving!

We've been fine for three years.

You came back here for you.

At least do me the courtesy of telling me why.

I came back,

because I was supposed to.

Supposed to do what?

[chuckles] I don't know yet.

Well, you'd better figure it out.

[door opens, shuts]

You know, I can take him for awhile.

Sure you can.

You know, his father said that you think Ben broke Sayid out.

[sighs] A kid'll do almost anything

if he's pissed off enough at his folks.

Is that why you asked me to take care of your daughter?

[Sawyer panting]

Did you?

Of course I did.

Go ahead and take a sip.

What's she like?

Clementine?

Yeah. Clementine.

Oh, she's beautiful.

Looks just like you when she smiles.

She's growing up fast.

Already has a little attitude.

Bet you and Cassidy had a lot to talk about.

She had an interesting theory on why you jumped off the chopper.

Yeah? What's that?

She thought you were worried about what would happen if you didn't.

You and me would have never worked out, Kate.

I wasn't any more fit to be your boyfriend than I am to be that little girl's father.

You seem to be doing all right with Juliet.

[sighs]

Yeah. I've done a lot of growing up in the past three years.

-[man] Hands up! -[guns cocking]

Do not move!

I said don't move.

This is a violation of the truce.

-You're over the line! -We know.

This kid's been shot.

That's both of our problem, so unless you want to go to war,

you're gonna take us to Richard Alpert.

And you're gonna do it now.

Mrs. Littleton, um… I'm Kate Austen.

I know who you are.

Come in.

Thank you.

Your friend, Dr. Shephard, came here last night,

going on and on about some person named Aaron.

When I asked him who that was,

he ran out of here like the room was on fire.

He's your grandson.

And your daughter, Claire,

is alive.

What are you talking about?

Claire died in the plane crash.

No. She survived.

When we crashed,

your daughter was eight months pregnant, and…

she's the one who gave birth on The Island, not me.

We lied.

There were other survivors, too. We just left them behind.

Why?

Why would you leave her there?

Because she disappeared and…

she left the baby behind. We looked everywhere, but…

That's when I started taking care of Aaron.

When we were rescued, we didn't…

We had to decide what to do with him.

And I knew she had wanted him to be adopted, but I couldn't…

I had to protect him.

So I said he was mine.

Why did you lie?

Why didn't you come to me in the first place?

Because I needed him.

I'm sorry.

You're gonna see that he's so sweet, and kind and good.

Where is he?

Um, I checked in two doors down. He's asleep.

I know that this is a lot for you to handle.

But…

when you're ready,

he's waiting for you.

I told him that you're his grandmother.

That you'll take care of him while I'm gone.

And that I'll be back soon.

Where are you going?

I'm going back to find your daughter.

[sentimental music playing]

[crying]

[sobbing] Bye-bye, baby.

Don't worry. We got 'em right where we want 'em.

Shut up and keep moving.

What's it look like I'm doing?

[man] Hello there, James.

Where'd the hell you come from?

You asked my people to bring you to me. Here I am.

Is that Benjamin Linus?

You two know each other?

-What happened to him? -He was shot.

-And who might you be? -She's with me.

And why are you here?

Because we need you to save his life.

Can you?

If I take him, he's not ever gonna be the same again.

What do you mean by that?

What I mean is that,

he'll forget this ever happened, and that,

his innocence will be gone.

He will always be one of us.

Do you still want me to take him?

Yes.

-[Sawyer sighs] -[man] Richard…

You shouldn't do this without asking Ellie.

-If Charles finds out… -Let him find out.

I don't answer to either of them.

Where-- Where are you taking him?

Come on.

[tense music playing]

[door slides]

[suspenseful music playing]

Hello, Ben.

Welcome back to the land of the living.

[closing theme music playing]
