Lost s04e04 Episode Script

Eggtown

These are the last two eggs.
From my own bookshelf.
- Help you pass the time.
- I've already read it.
You might catch something you missed the second time around.
Why did you move me from the rec room down here? I wanted you under my own roof.
Where are you keeping your other prisoner? Miles, is it? - Or you don't want to share.
- I was hoping you would share, Ben, seeing as you claimed to have a spy on his ship.
I feel for you, John.
I really do.
You keep hitting dead ends.
You couldn't find the cabin, you can't make contact with Jacob.
You're so desperate to figure out what to do next you're asking me for help.
So here we are, just like old times.
Except I'm locked in a different room.
And you're more lost than you ever were.
I know what you're trying to do.
It's not gonna work.
- Excellent, John.
You're evolving.
- Done with your breakfast? What's that all about? Who knows? It's Locke.
Mornin', ladies.
- Good morning.
- Mornin', Coffee smells good.
Well, why don't I go make you a cup? Kinda weird, ain't it? Sitting on porches, drinking coffee out of mugs.
Anyway, I found some clothes about your size.
Hung 'em in the closet.
- So after I kick out Hugo - I'm not moving in with you, James.
- Well then why did you stay? - That's none of your business.
You got a secret agenda, huh? - If you're spying for Jack - I'm not spying for anyone.
- Why don't you tell? - Because I don't trust you.
This is about the pregnancy thing.
- James.
- Yeah? Go home.
OK, fine.
See you later then.
You ready? Is there a back entrance? Yeah, but you're going in the front door with your head held high, OK? Yeah.
OK.
Let's do this.
Why did you do it, Kate? What was your statement? Folks, we're not making any statements or answering any questions.
The People v.
Katherine Anne Austen.
The Honourable Arthur Galzethron presiding.
The bailiff will read the counts.
Will the defendant please rise? Katherine Anne Austen, you are charged with fraud, arson, assault on a federal officer, assault with a deadly weapon, grand larceny, grand theft auto and murder in the first degree.
Miss Austen, how do you plead? Not guilty.
Thus entered.
I'II now hear argument on bail.
Your Honour, we are requesting the defendant be remanded into custody for the duration of the trial.
My client's been free pending arraignment.
- Now she's a flight risk? - The definition of a flight risk.
She has one of the most recognisable faces.
Where will she run? Miss Austen, based on your prior history, I'm inclined to agree with the People.
You're remanded into federal custody for the duration of your trial.
Bailiff, take the defendant into custody.
Sorry.
"Albuquerque"? Too hot.
- New York.
- Too many people.
I learn English for you.
To live in America.
Hey, look! Jack! Jack! Hey, man.
This is Charlotte, Dan.
Their helicopter already took Sayid and Desmond back to their freighter.
They can make arrangements to get all of us off this island.
Where's Kate? She stayed with Locke.
Hello, Kate.
Is that blood? I just killed a chicken.
What can I do for you? I want to talk to Miles.
Where are you keeping him? - Why do you need to talk to him? - That's personal.
No.
- And what gives you the right - You may think this is a democracy because of the way Jack ran things.
This is not a democracy.
Then I guess that makes it a dictatorship.
If I was a dictator, I would just shoot you and go about my day.
Dinner's at 6.
00 if you're hungry.
Hey, Hurley.
Wait.
You bringing that to Miles? - Yeah.
- Locke asked me to do it.
Cool.
That dude creeps me out.
- He's still in the rec room, right? - I moved him to the boathouse You just totally Scooby-Doo'd me, didn't you? Sorry.
- You're not gonna let him go, are you? - No.
No, I promise.
Just don't tell Locke it was me.
So the Arab traded you too.
- Do you know who I am? - Excuse me? Do you know who I am? Do you know what I did? What did you do? Answer the question.
OK.
I'II tell you what you want to know, but you gotta do something for me first.
- I'm not letting you go.
- I don't want to be let go.
I am exactly where I want to be.
What I want is one minute of someone's time.
You bring him to me and I will tell you everything I know about you.
Who? Who do you think? - Are you OK? - Yeah, fine.
Listen, the DA's decided to try this case herself which means they're gonna do the full-court press.
We need to start talking about cutting a deal.
- What kind of deal? - My best guess, I'd say she'II take a 15-year sentence.
- And you serve seven.
- No way.
If you go to trial, you're looking at 20 years on each count and a life sentence on the murder charge.
- No.
- Kate, you confessed to your mother that you killed your father, and now she's their star witness.
What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to win this? Put me on the stand.
And take a chance with the DA crossing you? No.
Way I see it, we've got one shot at this.
- What's that? - We make it about character.
Not about what you did or didn't do, but about who you are.
What do you mean, who I am? - I want him in the courtroom.
- Absolutely not.
We need him, Kate.
It'II generate sympathy.
Duncan, listen to me.
You are not bringing him in here.
You want to make this about me, my character, fine.
But you are not using my son.
Maybe we should try a number other than the boat, like 911.
What's wrong? Nothing.
We're just having trouble getting a hold of their boat.
You haven't heard from Sayid? You said they left yesterday.
And I'm sure they're fine.
What if Locke was right? What if these people are here to hurt us? Locke has no idea what he's doing.
Then why is Kate with him? You sure he's got Ben in his basement? I saw Rousseau take him in there last night.
- And does Locke ever go out? - He's been in there cooking all day.
He invited us all over for dinner.
Can you get Aaron for me? Just pick him up and rock him a little bit.
Yeah, I'm just not very good with babies.
I wouldn't want him to get more upset.
Here, I got him.
It's OK.
There we go, muffin.
There we go.
You're so good with him.
What? Just the last thing I ever thought I'd be good at is being a mom.
You know, you should try it sometime.
Hey, Aaron.
Please rise.
Court is now in session.
Please be seated.
- Don't fire me, OK? - What? We got killed in the opening.
I had to do this.
Does the defence have a witness? Yes, we do, Your Honour.
The defence calls Dr Jack Shephard to the witness stand.
Your Honour, I'd like to renew my objection to this witness - on the basis of relevance.
- And I'II renew my overruling.
You have to be aware this witness did not meet the defendant until after the alleged crimes she's being charged with.
He is to be viewed as a character witness only.
- Proceed.
- Please raise your right hand.
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God? Yes.
Dr Shephard.
Could you please tell the ladies and gentlemen of the jury, if there are any of you who don't read newspapers, the internet or watch TV, how you met the defendant? On September 22, 2004, Kate Miss Austen and I were both passengers on Oceanic flight 815, which crash-landed on an island in the South Pacific.
Were you aware Miss Austen was a fugitive being transported by a United States marshal on that flight to Los Angeles? - I did learn that eventually, yes.
- From the US marshal? No, the marshal died in the crash.
I never spoke to him.
Miss Austen told me.
Did you ever ask her if she was guilty? No.
Never.
That seems like a reasonable question.
Why not? I just assumed there had been some kind of mistake.
And why would you think that? Only eight of us survived the crash.
We landed in the water.
I was hurt pretty badly.
In fact, if it weren't for her I would have never made it to the shore.
She took care of me, took care of all of us.
She gave us first aid, water, found food, made shelter.
- She tried to save the other two - Stop.
Miss Austen, please sit down.
This has nothing to do with with anything.
This is my trial, and I don't want him to say anything else.
That's fine.
I have no more questions.
Miss Dunbrook, your witness.
That was very moving, Dr Shephard.
I only have one question for you.
- Do you love the defendant? - Objection! You opened this door, Mr Forrester.
I'm going to allow it.
Dr Shephard? Do you love Miss Austen? No.
Not anymore.
So, what do you want to watch, xanadu or Satan's Doom? I'm reading.
- Will you turn that thing down? - Sorry.
Hey.
Can I come in? Sure.
I believe you know my roommate.
- Hi, Hurley.
- Hey, Kate.
You got something in your eye, Hugo? Why don't we talk in the kitchen.
I know it's in a box, but it's pretty damn good wine.
I tested it.
So how's life at casa de Claire? - Baby Aaron keeping you up all night? - No.
He's a good sleeper.
Good for you.
You are terrible at this, Freckles.
Terrible at what? You already said you didn't stay behind for me.
At least be woman enough to tell me you want to use me for something.
I want to use you for something.
See? Wasn't that hard.
For what? For Ben.
I want you to help me bust him out.
Want to play some backgammon? You're on.
Do you think I know what I'm doing? Do you regret following me out here? Are you worried about what we should do next? All I know is I'd be a lot more worried if I was sitting on that beach.
And the rest of the group, what are they saying? I think they're saying "baa".
That's the nice thing about sheep.
They're predictable.
But I ain't so sure about Kate.
What do you mean? I need your word you ain't gonna do nothing to her.
- Why would I do anything? - Just give me your word, John.
- You know what? Forget it.
- No, no, no.
All right.
You have my word.
She came to me about an hour ago.
Said she wanted my help busting Ben out of your basement.
Why? She talked to that guy Bruce Lee, from the freighter, the guy you got locked up.
He told her to bring Ben down to him for a chat.
No, that's impossible.
She doesn't know where Miles is.
The boathouse down by the dock? If Hugo knows, everybody knows.
- Are you sure about this? - Yeah, I'm sure.
Where are you going with that? Whatever Miles has to say to Ben he can say to me.
Son of a bitch.
Come on.
You got one minute.
Go.
- How about some privacy? - Fifty-five seconds.
- You know who I am? - Yes.
- You know who I work for? - Yes.
And you know he's put a lot of time and energy into finding you.
So now I found you.
And I can tell him exactly where you are.
Or I can lie and tell him you're already dead.
And I'd be willing to do that for $3.
2 million.
You've arranged this meeting so you could blackmail me? It's extortion, if you want to get technical.
Three-point-two Why not 3.
3 or 3.
4? What makes you think I have access to that kind of money? Do not treat me like I'm one of them, like I don't know who you are and what you can do.
Your friend Charlotte has seen me.
She knows I'm alive.
I'II take care of Charlotte.
You worry about getting me the money.
You have two days.
My present situation is a little bit restricted.
Can that be amended? OK.
- One week, in cash - Time's up.
- Don't even think about - I said time's up! This is hot.
You got your meeting.
I want my answer.
We got your name when you called the freighter.
Of course we know about you and everybody else on the 815.
- Prove it.
- Your name is Katherine Anne Austen.
You're wanted for murder, fraud, arson, whole bunch of other stuff I can't remember.
You're a fugitive.
You were caught in Australia and the feds were bringing you back.
So yeah, we know.
If I were you, I'd stay right here on the island.
Who knows? Maybe you didn't survive the crash.
Come on, come on.
Go back to your house, Kate.
- John, this has nothing to do with you.
- Go back to your house, Kate! Hi.
You OK? I couldn't sleep.
Yeah, the beds take a little getting used to.
- I didn't wake Aaron, did I? - No.
Aaron was born on this island.
He can sleep through anything.
John.
- What are you doing? - I'd like a moment alone with Kate.
Would you excuse us, please, Claire? It's OK.
- John - I don't need to know why you did what you did, Kate.
I just need to know what they said to each other.
Miles told Ben he would lie to the people he works for on the boat, tell them Ben was dead for $3.
2 million.
Listen, John, I'm sorry.
- I asked you where he was and - You're not welcome here anymore.
I want you gone by morning.
I worked it out so you two can have a few minutes of privacy.
- I don't need any privacy.
- You need to talk to her.
I'II be outside.
Hello, Katherine.
Was it true, what he said? Dr Shephard.
That you're a hero? Why won't you talk to me? Because, Mom, the last time I tried to talk to you, when you got sick, when I risked my life to see you, you called the police.
Please.
I don't want to fight with you, Katherine.
Why are you here? Because I It all changed, when I thought you were dead.
My doctors have given me six months to live for the last four years.
I don't know how long I'm going to last.
I came here to tell you that I I don't want to testify against you.
Then don't.
I want to see my grandson.
You came here to make a deal? Just want to meet him.
I don't want you anywhere near him.
We're finished.
We're finished! Oh, hey, Freckles.
You OK? Look, I'm sorry I couldn't do nothing.
I wanted him to think that you fooled me too.
No sense in him not trusting both of us.
He wants me gone by tomorrow.
What, he banished you? Well, I unbanish you.
You can stay right here.
This is my house.
OK, me and Montezuma's house.
You're gonna be all right.
I'II keep you safe.
Time.
OK, tell me.
What do you remember? OK, queen of diamonds? Then we have the six of clubs.
Sorry.
And we have a red ten of hearts, maybe? It's two out of three.
It's not bad.
It's progress.
Three cards, Charlotte? Is that progress? Hey.
I'm calling your boat all day.
- Why isn't anyone answering? - We're here.
How should we know? - If they're not answering - There's only one line on that boat? There is another number we're only supposed to use in emergencies.
It's an emergency.
Put it on speaker.
- Yeah? - Regina, it's Charlotte.
- Why are you calling me on this number? - Minkowski wasn't answering.
The people on the island want to talk to their friends, make sure they're OK.
What friends? They left last night.
- Frank took them up in the helicopter.
- What do you mean they took off? I thought the helicopter was with you.
Good morning.
Listen, I don't know what you think you're doing, - but you're wasting your time.
- Open your mouth.
Open your mouth.
Wide.
Don't talk.
Bite down, bite down.
I realise, when I tied you up in here the other day, I made the mistake of failing to introduce myself.
My name is John Locke, and I'm responsible for the well-being of this island.
Eventually, Miles, you're gonna tell me who you are, and you'II tell me about the people on the boat and why you're so interested in Ben.
In the meantime, however, you're gonna keep your mouth shut.
I learned something yesterday.
No use having rules if there's no punishment for breaking them.
You'II be fine if you bite down on the trigger.
Enjoy your breakfast.
Wait, wait.
Wait.
Just slow down.
Oh, come on.
It's not like we ain't ever done it before.
I'm cool we didn't go all the way last night.
I get it.
You were sad.
But, I mean, how can you resist after that whole "I'II keep you safe" thing? No.
Sawyer.
What? What'd I say? Forget it.
Oh, right.
You still think you might be pregnant.
I'm not worried.
And I'm not pregnant.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm sure.
I mean Would it have been the worst thing in the world? Yes! It would have been the worst thing in the world.
What would we have done with a baby? - I'm going back to the beach.
- The beach? What, you're leaving? Because of this? That's that? You crawl up in my bed one second, the next Goodbye.
Don't make this about me, Kate.
You didn't want a baby any more than I did.
You're looking for some excuse to split, now you got one.
That's all right, Freckles, I ain't gonna hold it against you.
I'm just gonna sit right here in my comfy bed, because in about a week, you'II find some reason to get pissed at Jack and bounce right back to me.
got back last night, I know which doctor she's been seeing Miss Dunbrook.
Are the People ready to proceed? May we approach the bench, Your Honour? Oh, please.
Unfortunately, Your Honour, our chief witness, Diane Jansen, the mother of the defendant, is unable to testify - because of medical reasons.
- How long will you need? I can't say right now.
What I'II do is grant a recess for lunch, but be prepared to proceed with your case after we return.
This court is now in recess.
All rise.
We have to talk.
My key witness spoke to her daughter yesterday, now she's got cold feet.
Quit posturing.
Let's get to it.
What are you offering? Four years in.
No jail time.
Kate Austen is a worldwide hero who saved five other people's lives after a plane crash and nearly starved to death on a deserted island.
After all that, you put this woman on trial for rescuing her mother from an abusive husband.
If you think that jury is gonna give her actual time, then you must have a hell of a closing, Melissa.
All right.
Time served plus ten years probation, agreement she does not leave the state.
- What does that matter? She can - I'II take it.
- No, wait, Kate - Give me something to sign, I'II sign.
And then I walk out that back door.
I just I just want this to be over.
I can do that.
Ten years probation, and you stay put.
I have a child.
I'm not going anywhere.
Hey.
How did you know I'd be here? Your lawyer gave me the heads-up.
He owed me one.
Thank you for saying what you did.
You're welcome.
You know, Jack, I've heard you say that story so many times l'm starting to think you believe it.
I just I just wanted to tell you that what I said in there I didn't mean it.
You want to follow me? Come by for a visit? I actually have to get over to the hospital.
But maybe you and I can grab some coffee together or something.
I know why you don't want to see my baby, Jack.
But until you do, until you want to there's no you and me going for coffee.
But if at any time you change your mind, - come and see us.
- Yeah.
OK.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Hello? Kate.
I'm so glad you're back.
- He missed you so much.
- Did you keep him away from the TV? Absolutely.
I just put him down for a nap.
Hey, buddy.
Hey.
Hey.
Hi, Mommy.
Hi, Aaron.
