Lost s03e09 Episode Script

Stranger in a Strange Land

Previously on Lost: You want me to save your life? I want you to want to save my life.
I made a small incision in Ben's kidney sack.
Now, if I don't stitch that back up in the next hour, he's dead.
I'd like for you to go back in there, put Ben under and finish the surgery.
- Why would I do that? - I'm going to help your friends escape.
- No! - Danny! - Stop.
- What, you want a turn steering? - We have to go back.
- What are you talking about? Turn the boat around.
- Have you lost your mind? We got away! - Just do it.
- Give me one reason to turn around! - Because we can't leave Jack behind.
Yes, we can, Freckles because that's what he asked us to do.
You think about it.
We go back there, what do you think Captain Bunnykiller is gonna do if he catches us? Kill you.
God loves you as he loved Jacob.
OK.
Thanks for the input.
Sorry, kiddo.
Jack's on his own.
Time to get up.
We're moving you.
- Moving me where? - Someplace else, Jack.
Why? - So this it? - It? You just helped me save his life.
If you're gonna kill me, please, at least show me the respect of not calling it "moving.
" Now why would we kill you? Because you're done with me.
What kind of people do you think we are? Oh, I don't know, Tom the kind of people that would take a pregnant woman, would hang Charlie from a tree, would drag our people out of the jungle, would kidnap children.
That's the kind of people I think you are.
You see this glass house you're living in, Jack? How about I get you some stones? Let's do this the easy way.
What do you say? Hey.
Dr Jack! Hey, Dr Jack! Dr Jack want soda, Dr Jack? You know I can't understand a word you're saying? Dr Jack.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
You're not from around here, are you? No.
No, I'm not.
I'm Jack.
Hi, Jack.
I'm Achara.
Achara? Achara.
Juliet grilled these for me.
Who was that woman? That'd be the sheriff.
- You have a sheriff? - Not literally.
- Why're you moving Juliet into my room? - Because she's in trouble, Jack.
Now don't try anything stupid.
You stay put in this cage, OK? You say that like you're not watching me from that camera right there.
Oh, right.
Ben told me you got into the surveillance room.
Let me ask you something.
You risk your neck to cut them loose, and they run away and don't look back Thanks for the sandwich.
Never thought I'd be glad to get back to this rock.
What are you doing? I'm heading in to shore.
Why? If we just keep going, we can circle around.
We'll get to camp, tell Locke and Sayid what happened Oh, we will? You got a map you ain't showing me, Magella? We got no food, no water, and I can't steer in the dark.
Then I'll steer.
No.
You'll come ashore and we'll make camp.
You wanna contribute? You can build a camp fire while I carry the kid.
Glad we agree.
You sure you ain't hungry? No, James.
I ain't hungry.
You shouldn't fight.
When the hell did you wake up? You shouldn't fight, because you're lucky to be alive.
Golly! I think he's got a point.
That island we were on, is that where your people live? Just where we work.
- Work on what? - Projects.
Oh, sure.
Like the Steal the Kid Off the Raft Project? - That was a humdinger.
- So you don't live on that island? - Nope.
- So you live here? - On this island? - Yes, ma'am.
And what did you do with the people that you took the kids? - Give them a better life.
- Better than what? Better than yours.
There's not gonna be any moon tonight.
It'll be dark.
Me and Alex used to lie in my back yard at night and make up names for the constellations.
You can't see it yet, but right there will be Ursa Theodorus.
The teddy bear.
- You have back yards? - Yeah.
Well, ain't that quaint.
Warning.
Warning.
- I thought you were locked up.
- They let me out to examine Ben.
His vitals are low, and he has a fever.
I took this about ten minutes ago.
It's of his stitches.
They're infected, aren't they? - Yes.
- Will you come look at him? - No.
- Jack - No.
- I'm not asking you for them or him.
I'm asking you as a personal favour to me.
You want me to help him again? - Yes.
- Are you sure about that, Juliet? Yes.
I'm sure.
And this is because he said that he would let you go home? No.
No.
It's because I'm in trouble.
- Trouble for - I killed someone.
It's why they put me in your room.
Who? It's complicated.
Well, then let me simplify it for you.
I'm not gonna help him.
And I'm not gonna help you.
OK! Special Thai dish for you.
You try.
Very brave, very brave.
- My brother likes you.
- Well, I'm a very likable guy.
So, Jack tell me something.
Shoot.
Why is it you don't know how to fly a kite? - Just never learned, I guess.
- That's very sad.
Well, my dad worked a lot, and he wasn't exactly the kite-flying type, anyway.
- I mean, we never really - Jack? - Yeah? - I have no interest in your father.
Well, that's a relief because I'm pretty tired of talking about him.
Some things are personal.
So you're in Phuket to find yourself? - Why would you say that? - You're an American.
I have a gift.
Must be one hell of a gift.
Oh, I was just reading your tattoos.
The five and the stars are very cute.
But the Chinese, I find a bit ironic.
- You find what ironic? - What it says.
You do know what it says? - Yeah.
I know what it says.
- Are you sure? Chinese is a very complicated language.
It's fairly common for things to get lost in translation.
I know what it says.
All right then.
Jack? My name is Isabel.
If you'll come with me, I'd like to talk to you and ask you a few questions.
Why don't you check on your father, sweetheart? I know he'd appreciate it.
Please have a seat, Jack.
As you may have gathered, we don't live on this little island.
In fact, most of us don't really even like coming here.
There's an incident I'm investigating and I need to ask you some questions.
So I was hoping you may help me clear up a few of the inconsistencies.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Tom, but you said in the midst of a surgical procedure, Jack made several comments indicating that Juliet had asked him to kill Ben.
- Yeah.
That's right.
- Is that true, Jack? Did Juliet ask you to kill Ben? The question's simple.
Did Juliet ask you to kill Ben? No.
No, I was lying.
I would've done anything to get my friends out.
Turning you people against each other was my best chance of creating chaos.
Why are you lying for her, Jack? I'd like to go back to my cage now.
Who's there? Who do you think? What time is it? It's late.
- Salty.
- I went for a swim in the ocean.
Washing the day off of you? Is there something you'd like to ask me, Jack? No, not at all.
I mean, it might be nice, after a month of you coming in whenever you want, to find out something about you.
There are things that happen here that you could never understand.
Like your gift? Yes like my gift.
Are you having fun with me, Jack? Oh, yeah.
Then stop asking questions.
Let's have fun.
What?! Hey, Jack.
Do I do I know you? Eight-fifteen.
You - You were the stewardess.
- Cindy.
How What are you doing here with them? I thought you were taken.
- You were you were captured.
- They're not It's not that simple.
What are they doing here, right now? What are you doing here?! We're here to watch, Jack.
Watch what? What is it, sweetheart? She wants to know how Ana Lucia is doing.
- Are you serious? - What? If you've got something to watch, Cindy, go watch it! Go! - Sawyer.
- What? Sawyer, wake up.
He's gone! Karl's gone! Where? Wait, hold up.
I got it.
- No, let me talk to him.
- No, I got it.
Boys only.
- What the hell was that for? - So you'd cowboy up.
Crying in the jungle! I thought you people were supposed to be tough.
I am tough.
Sure you are, Bobby.
Bobby? The Brady Bunch? What the hell is The Brady Bunch? OK.
Anyway, look, Karl I been with a lot of girls.
Some of them worth the trouble and some not.
But every now and again, there's one One you name dumb stars with.
So this girl, - Sally Slingshot - Alex.
Yeah.
You love her? More than anything.
Then go back to wherever the hell your yards are and get her back.
If I get caught they'll kill me this time.
Well, at least it'll be worth it.
I want to ask you something.
They're not watching anymore, so you can tell me the truth.
OK.
Ben.
Why'd you save his life? All this time, after all he did to you and your people, you should hate him! But you still fixed him up.
Even after your friends got away.
Why? You're his daughter.
- Answer the question.
- I'll answer, if you answer mine.
- Where is Juliet? - She's with the rest of them.
- They're gonna read her verdict.
- Her verdict? And we all know what it's gonna be.
We're pretty strict about killing one of our own.
- Eye for an eye.
- Who? Who did she kill? The man who was gonna murder your friends.
No wonder you're worried about her.
If it wasn't for you, she never would've done it.
That was three questions.
Your turn, Jack.
I saved your father because I said I would.
Hey.
Hey.
Is he still in charge? - What? - Ben, your father.
Is he still in charge? Will Isabel do what he says? - Yeah.
- Get me out of this cage.
I wouldn't do that.
The cavalry has arrived at last.
I'd be much more impressed with you people if you had a good surgeon.
We had an excellent surgeon, Jack.
His name was Ethan.
You have a serious infection, Ben.
That infected tissue needs to be re-incised and débrided.
And you need to be very closely monitored from here on out.
There might be nerve damage or any number of other complications.
You might not walk again.
Your bedside manner leaves something to be desired, Jack.
Well, then it's too bad you're stuck with me.
- Am I? - You need a doctor, Ben.
Someone to stay with you.
Bring you back to good health.
And here we go again.
I've already given you a ticket off this island, Jack.
What's it gonna cost me this time? Right now, your people are in a room deciding whether or not to execute Juliet.
You're gonna stop it.
Juliet doesn't care about you, Jack.
It doesn't matter what she's done.
No matter what you think she is one of us.
Do we have a deal or not? Does Isabel have a walkie? They're already in the meeting.
Then get me something to write on.
You followed me.
What is all this? This is where I work.
And you shouldn't be here.
This is a A tattoo parlour.
That was your big secret? The envelopes? Your gift? I am not a tattoo artist.
I am able to see who people are.
My work is not decoration.
It is definition.
And this This is my gift.
So you see who people are.
- Yes.
And I mark them.
So tell me who I am.
No.
- Why not? - You are an outsider.
- So you can sleep with me - I am not allowed.
- Do you see who I am, Achara? - Yes.
- Who am I? - You are a leader.
A great man.
But this This makes you lonely.
And frightened.
And angry.
Good.
Now put it on me.
Put it on me.
No, this This is against my people.
There will be consequences, Jack.
There always are.
Wait! No.
You shouldn't be here.
Just stand back.
Don't say anything.
Alex, you Jack? What the hell did you bring him here for? Let him go, Tom.
What's going on, Alex? This is from Ben.
Ben has commuted Juliet's sentence.
Execution is off the table.
He says the rules don't apply.
He has, however, ordered her to be marked.
Where're you going? Hey, I know you.
I'm Achara's friend, from Chet, it's Jack from the restaurant.
Let go of me, man! You will get off our beach! You will leave this country! Do you understand me? I heard you only liked them grilled.
I missed the toothpicks too.
- Let me see.
- Jack They marked you? Let me see it.
- Break a branch off that aloe plant.
- It's OK.
Please.
Please do it.
Turn around.
Why did you help me? He told you he was gonna let you go home.
He told me the same thing.
We're gonna make sure he keeps his word.
And how are we going to do that? Together.
They'll be coming for you in a few minutes.
All of them.
Your friends know where we are.
So we have to leave this island to go back to where we live.
Go where? Well, Ben calls it "home.
" Where's Karl? I let him go.
- You what? - I let him go.
He could lead us to where they live.
What, you think I cut him loose because I'm so damn sensitive? The kid's a target.
Ben won't stop looking for him All Ben wants is that kid as far from his daughter as possible.
Let's get back to camp.
Are you coming or not? Should I walk beside you or ten paces behind you? You got so good at telling me what to do, I can't think for myself.
Don't take it out on me, because you feel guilty.
- I don't feel guilty.
- The hell you don't.
We had to leave Jack! I didn't have a choice! I'm not talking about leaving Jack behind.
I'm talking about you and me.
I know you did it because you thought I was a dead man.
So don't beat yourself up because the doc's left behind.
I'm not beating myself up.
Of course you're not.
So now that we got that out of the way, let's go.
"He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us.
" Your tattoos, that's what they say.
That's what they say.
It's not what they mean.
