Lost s05e15 Episode Script

Follow the Leader

Previously on Lost: Hello, Ben.
- You're alive - Yes, I am.
Are you saying you know how to find them? How to find Jin? I have some ideas.
So you knew this would happen to Locke if we brought him back here? Dead is dead.
You don't get to come back from that.
The Dharma folks at the Swan work site-- They're gonna drill into the ground and accidentally tap into a massive pocket of energy, and that will cause your plane-- Oceanic 815 To crash on this island.
I think I can negate that energy.
If I can then that hatch will never be built, and your plane will land just like it's supposed to.
And just how exactly do you plan on destroying this energy? I'm gonna detonate a hydrogen bomb.
Where is the bomb, Richard? Where is it? The hydrogen bomb that I told your people to bury.
Where is it? Listen to me.
Lower your gun, and we'll talk.
Okay? Nobody has to get hurt here.
Just put the gun down.
I'm gonna give you three seconds.
One Don't do this.
What's he doing down there? - Jack, he's crazy.
- Is he? What if this is why we're here? What if this is our one chance to put things back the way they're supposed to be? No.
What the hell do you think you're doing?! - They just shot him! I'm gonna go help.
- Yeah, they're gonna shoot you, too.
We have to go, Jack.
We have to go now.
- Jack! - Don't you move! Don't move.
Hey! Just who the bloody hell might you be? Eloise! What happened? This man walked into camp and put a gun to my head, - And Eloise reacted.
- Where'd you find them? Crouched in the bushes Like rats.
Did you two come here with this man? Yes.
Put them in my tent.
Would you care to tell me, Eloise, why the Dharma Initiative seems to have declared war on us? These people aren't from the Dharma Initiative, Charles.
Then where the hell are they from? Richard, he's here.
I brought dinner.
John? Hello, Richard.
It's been a while.
It's--It's been, uh, three years.
What happened? What--where--where were you? I'll explain on the way.
On the way where? It's gonna be night soon.
You and I have an errand to run, and we don't have a lot of time.
What's wrong? Something different about you.
I have a purpose now.
What's he doing here? He helped me get back.
What did Locke say these were his people? I thought they were yours.
When I left the island, John stepped in.
He's the leader now.
Who's that man he's talking to? His name is Richard Alpert.
He's a kind of Advisor.
And he has had that job for a very, very, long time.
Sun? What are you Were you here in 1977? Excuse me? These people Jack Shephard, Kate Austen, Hugo Reyes.
They were here with my husband-- Jin Kwon.
Were you here? Do you remember them? A-any of them? Yes, I was here And I do.
I remember these people.
I remember meeting them very clearly, because I watched them all die.
S05E15: Follow The Leader Drink of water? Do you think it's true? They're all dead? I don't think we went through all this for nothing, Sun.
I'm ready, John.
You still have that compass I gave you? A little rusty, but she can still find north.
Ben, I'd appreciate it if you'd join us.
What, John, don't you trust me here with my former people? Afraid I'll stage a coup? I'm not afraid of anything you can do anymore, Ben.
Well, in that case, I'd love to come.
Good.
Stay here.
We'll be back in a couple of hours.
I'll see what I can find out.
But whatever happens, Sun, you have my word.
If there's a way for you and Jin to be together again, If there's a way to save our people I'll find it.
Take it easy on her.
Don't talk.
Understand? Are you okay? Yeah.
You know, before we were caught You said that we needed to put things back the way they were supposed to be.
What did you mean by that? If we can do what Faraday said Our plane never crashes Flight 815 lands in Los Angeles.
And everyone we lost since we got here They'd all be alive.
And what about us? We just go on living our life because we've never met? All the misery that we've been through We'd just wipe it clean.
Never happened.
It was not all misery.
Enough of it was.
The man I shot What did he need the bomb for? I need you to tell me why he wanted the bomb.
I don't think you'd believe me if I did.
When I was I took a young man to the bomb.
He proceeded to tell me that if we buried it underground, then things would work out splendidly.
When I asked him how he could be so sure He said that he was from the future.
And then he disappeared, right in front of my bloody eyes.
Ten minutes ago, I shot that man in the back.
And before he died He told me that he He said he was my son.
Explain to me And you have my word I will believe you.
How is this my handwriting if I don't remember writing it? Because you haven't written it yet.
I know this is hard to understand, but What you just did It was an accident, and I think that there's a way for you to take it all back.
What? Your son came back here because he had figured out a way to change things.
He doesn't have to be dead.
You don't have to have killed him.
If we do what's written in that journal None of this will have happened.
Does he know what he's talking about? He thinks he does.
All right then, I'll take you to the bomb.
Just One small issue, however.
We secured it over But since that time, it appears that someone's built an entire village over it.
The Dharma Initiative? However It appears that you two have been passing yourselves off as members, so I suppose coming and going will be relatively simple.
Ah, it might be a little bit more complicated than that.
That woman-- Where is she now? Call my lawyer.
Stuart! What the hell are you doing? I'm getting answers.
Where is she?! Hey.
Hey! Stop! Damn it, stop.
That is an order.
I'm still in charge here.
No, you were in charge, Horace.
But if we're gonna protect our people and all the work we're doing here You don't have the stomach for what happens next.
Phil.
Okay, Jim, last chance.
You tell me where she is Or so help me God, I will kill you.
Hey! You ready to talk now? Nope.
Believe me, I'm gettin' tired of this too, Jim.
So why don't you tell me Where your girlfriend took the boy? She bring him to the hostiles? You know where they are? Aah! Stop! - Please! - You want me to stop? Then tell me what I want to know! Stuart, please.
We have known each other for three years.
We are not bad people! We are not here to hurt you! Juliet Don't.
Whatever you tell 'em, they ain't gonna believe you.
It's only gonna get more people hurt.
What are we doing, man? Beating him is pointless.
Okay? He's not gonna talk.
I can make him talk.
Son of a bitch! Easy.
You're a dead man, Phil.
I'm gonna kill you.
Mr.
Radzinsky? There's still no sign of Miles or Jin.
But the recruits from last week I got their sub's manifest from Amy.
There were three last-minute add-ons.
They were the two people that shot at you.
Shephard and Austen.
And one guy we can't track down.
He's gotta be a part of this.
Who the hell is Hugo Reyes? He's the fat guy.
Hurry up! So what's the rescue plan? Rescue plan? We're heading to the beach.
Why do you think we sent you for food? But they got Sawyer and Juliet.
And there are 30 of them, and they all have guns.
The only people we can rescue is our ourselves, - so let's go.
- We gotta do something.
I mean, Sawyer would never leave us behind.
Dr.
Chang? What are you doing here? I could ask you the same question.
But we asked you first.
Your friend Faraday said that you were from the future.
I need to know if he was telling the truth.
Dude, that's ridiculous.
What year were you born? What year? Uh 1931? You're 46? Yeah.
Yes, I am.
So you fought in the Korean War? There's no such thing.
Who's the President of the United States? All right, dude, we're from the future.
Sorry.
It's true then? You are my son? Yeah, it's true.
Your friend, the physicist-- He also told me to evacuate everyone I could off the island.
He said there was going to be a massive accident at the Swan.
Now is that true? He's been right about everything so far.
If Faraday said get people off the island I'd do it.
Well, then let's hope he knows what he's doing.
Tell me something.
Why is it that this man looks familiar to me? Richard You and Erik are coming with me.
Going with you where? You can untie them.
And Would you mind giving us a moment? I'm taking them to the bomb.
What? Are you insane? All right.
I'm worried about you.
Not in your condition.
Who is he? The man you're asking about, Jack, is Charles Widmore.
He and Eloise are Well, let's just say love can be complicated.
All right.
Let's move out.
So, John You, uh, you ready to tell me where you've been the last three years? You really don't know? Well, I know that on the day that Ben here turned the wheel, that you and I were sitting on a log.
There was a bright light.
There was a loud noise, and then you just You disappeared.
Well, Richard, you're just about to see where I disappeared to.
And after we're finished with that, I'd like you to take me to see Jacob.
That's not how it works, John.
Is that true, Richard? Is this gonna be a problem? You just got back, John.
There's no reason to rush into-- I am the leader now.
Right? Yes, John.
That's right.
Good.
Then I would like you to take me to Jacob.
Can you do that? Yeah, of course.
Fantastic.
Let's keep moving.
We're almost to the plane.
What plane? It's a beachcraft used to smuggle heroin.
Flew out of Nigeria, crashed here.
All right, Richard, listen very carefully because you're only gonna have about three minutes to get this right.
To get what right? A man's about to walk out of the jungle.
He's been shot in the leg.
You'll need this to get the bullet out.
Uh, I'm sorry, John.
I'm not-- Now just listen.
This is the important part.
You're gonna need to tell him that he has to bring everyone who left back to the island.
And when he asks how to do that You tell him he's gonna have to die.
Who is that man, John? Me.
Aah! Richard? Richard What is happening? What's happening is that you're bleeding to death.
Okay, here.
I need to get the bullet out.
How did you know there was a bullet in my leg, Richard? Because you told me there was, John.
No, no.
No, I didn't.
Well You will.
This must be quite the out-of-body experience.
Something like that.
Your timing was impeccable, John.
How did you know when to be here? The island told me.
Didn't it ever tell you things? No, John.
And clearly it hasn't told you where Jacob is, or you wouldn't need Richard to show you.
You've never seen him.
What? Jacob.
You've never seen him, have you? What just happened? Where did you go? To give Richard his compass back.
You want the bullet? Keep it.
Everything go all right? Well, you You seemed pretty convinced, especially when I said you were gonna die.
I'm certainly glad that didn't have to happen.
Actually, Richard, it did.
We better get back to camp.
You need to evacuate the island of all non-essential personnel, and you need to do it What the hell is going on here? Aren't you supposed to be at the Swan right now, Chang? We're supposed to break ground in less than 20 hours.
We're under imminent threat.
If we start drilling, there's a high probability of a cataclysmic accident.
We are drilling and on schedule.
- Horace, you're in charge.
- He's not in charge anymore.
This is my decision, and it's been made.
- We keep working.
- Put us on the sub.
He's right.
It ain't safe.
Put the women and children on the sub and get 'em the hell out of here.
And if you put me and Juliet on the sub with 'em We'll tell you anything you wanna know.
You okay with that, sweetheart? Absolutely.
You want on that sub, Jim? Draw me a map.
I wanna know exactly where the hostiles are.
You two know how to swim? Why don't we just go around it? No, dear, we need to go in.
We have to swim under the pond to get to the tunnels.
I'm not going.
What? I'm gonna go back and find everyone else.
I I can't go any further with you, Jack.
Not this time.
Kate, you can't go back there now.
They know about us.
They tried to kill us.
And what are you trying to do? Bye, Jack.
- You're not going anywhere.
- No, you don't need to do that.
We're not in the habit of telling our secrets to strangers then just letting them saunter off.
You know, I don't care about your secrets.
I just wanna leave.
- Look, just put the gun-- - Step away! If she wants to leave, - she can leave! - Hey, I said stop! What are we doing here, Eloise? That man just killed one of our own people, and you're acting like it doesn't matter.
If these people are right about what they're about to do, Richard It won't matter.
And what are they about to do? So you're telling me, you're going to erase the last three years of our lives? We can change things, Sayid.
I don't know if you're aware of this, but I've already changed things.
I killed Benjamin Linus, and we're all still here.
It's because you didn't kill him.
Sawyer and me took him to the Others so that they could save him.
Why did you do that? Why did I do that? Since when did shooting kids and blowing up hydrogen bombs become okay? The three of us disappeared off that plane and ended up here, ended up now, because this is our chance to change things.
And if you're wrong, then everyone on the island dies.
Do you understand that? I'm not wrong, Kate.
This is it.
This is why we're here.
This is our destiny.
Do you know who you sound like? Because he was crazy, too, Jack.
You said so yourself.
Well, maybe I was wrong.
No, you were right.
I'm going back to find the rest of our people, because if I can't stop you, then maybe they can.
The submarine departs in 30 minutes.
All evacuees, please proceed to the dock.
Come now, Charlotte.
Come on, now.
Just stay with me.
This is ridiculous.
I can help you.
No, Lara, you can't.
Just go over there.
At least some day.
I want you to leave now! Why is he yelling at her, dude? It's the only way he can get her to leave.
Sorry, man.
We'd better get moving.
Wait! Whoa! Whoa! Wait--wait a second.
It's Jim and Juliet.
Why the hell are they putting them on the sub? Don't worry.
It's gonna be okay.
Sawyer always has a plan, right? We'll buy Microsoft.
Excuse me? Then we'll bet the Cowboys in the '78 Super Bowl.
We're gonna be rich.
Look, I'm sorry.
I should've listened to you when you wanted to get on this sub three years ago.
I'm glad you talked me out of it.
Come on, LaFleur.
Get in.
Ladies first.
Good riddance.
Phew! If I don't see you on the other side, I won't blame you.
Now take a deep breath and follow Richard under.
There's an opening in the bottom of the rocks at the far side.
That was a lot further than I thought it was.
Where are we? The tunnels.
You wanna tell me how we're gonna get a bomb out of here? The same way we brought it in.
I assume you don't mean through the pool.
It's a 12-foot long, No, not through the pool.
I didn't think you'd come.
Well, if this works, you might just save us all.
And if it doesn't? At least you'll put us out of our misery.
All right.
Let's get started.
You're back.
I'll have a tent prepared for you, John.
We'll get going first thing in the morning.
I thought we could leave right now.
Now? I'm eager.
We can do whatever you want, but maybe the two of us should go to my tent - and talk about-- - Is this everyone? Well, there's another group at the Temple, but-- If you don't mind, I would like to talk to everyone here now.
Of course.
Be my guest.
Hello, everyone.
My name is John Locke.
I've been told that For some time, you all have been accepting orders from a man named Jacob.
And yet, oddly enough, it seems that no one has actually seen him.
Now I'm sure there are very good reasons why his existence and whereabouts are secret.
I just don't know what they are.
And to be honest with all of you, if there's a man telling us what to do, I want to know who he is.
This man-- Jacob? Can he tell us how to bring Jin and the rest of our people back here? Absolutely.
Richard has agreed to show us where we need to go.
So I'm gonna go and see Jacob, right now.
And I'd like all of you to come with me.
I'm starting to think John Locke is gonna be trouble.
Why do you think I tried to kill him? We're shovin' off in two minutes.
Appreciate it if you didn't cause us any trouble.
Wouldn't think of it, Nemo.
What are we gonna do when we get to Ann Arbor? We ain't going to Ann Arbor.
- What do you mean? - These guys ain't cops.
They got no authority over us back in the real world.
So once we dock wherever we dock We're free.
"Real world.
" I don't even know what that means anymore.
Hey, come here.
Whatever happens, I got your back, remember? I love you.
Well, I love you back.
Hold on! Don't close the hatch! Horace wants her off the island, too.
We'll let Ann Arbor deal with them.
Actually caught her coming back into town.
Cuff her over there with the others.
Hey.
Hey.
Clear the bridge.
All personnel, lay below on the double.
We're away.
Engineering, take your stations.
Boat is clear for sea.
All men to your stations.
Prepare to dive.
Clear the bridge.
All hands below.
Stand by main vents.
Diving position.
Stand by on ballast tanks.
Ship has been cleared for dive.
Repeat, ship has been cleared for dive.
Stand by for dive.
Ship to dive.
Clear engines two and three.
Test two and three.
Jack.
I'm sure it's occurred to you that this woman's motivation in helping us detonate a hydrogen bomb is only to annihilate the Dharma Initiative.
- Yes, but I still trust her.
- Why? Because 30 years from now, she's the one who's gonna tell us how to get back to the island.
And that makes you trust her? Well Now what? Beautiful day, isn't it? Yes So far.
Richard had some concerns.
Concerns about what? This pilgrimage to Jacob makes him uncomfortable.
He's expressed Reservations about whether or not you know what the hell you're doing.
I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, Ben.
I know we've had our differences in the past, John, but I'm here to follow you now.
So if you need Jacob to help you reunite your people, - then I'll do whatever-- - I'm not interested in being reunited with my people.
What do you mean? You told Sun-- I know what I told her, but that's not why we're going to Jacob.
Then why are we going to Jacob? So I can kill him.
