INT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY
View of the hole in Charlie's guitar and he's strumming it. Pan up to his eyes. He's very sweaty and blinking erratically – withdrawal is in effect. Locke walks up.
CHARLIE
No. No thanks, Locke. I think I'm gonna stay in today.
LOCKE
Come on. Fresh air will do you good.
EXT. ISLAND - BEACH - TENT - DAY
Jack is staring at Kate's mug shot. She walks up.
JACK
I just came by for a few things and this was – this
was with my stuff.
Jack hands Kate her picture.
JACK
Call me a broken record, but caves are a natural shelter
and a hell of a lot safer than living here on the beach.
KATE
You're mad at me.
JACK
No, Kate. I'm – I just don't understand why you won't
come with me, us. It's maybe a mile up there, if that.
KATE
We crashed 8 days ago, Jack. I'm not setting up house here.
JACK
I want off this island too, but we both know that's not
gonna happen any time soon.
KATE
Sayid has a plan.
JACK
Yeah, to find the source of the distress call, I know.
KATE
That signal's coming from somewhere on the island.
If we can –
JACK
The signal has been running on a loop for 16 years, Kate.
And the woman that left it, she wasn't rescued. What makes
you think it's gonna be any different for us?
KATE
I believe it.
JACK
I wish I shared your faith.
Sawyer walks in carrying some suitcases.
KATE
What do you want, Sawyer?
SAWYER
I heard the doc here was vacatin' the premises. Thought
I best lay claims to my new digs before somebody else did.
Sawyer drops the suitcases.
JACK
(to Kate)
I'll talk to you later.
Jack walks away.
EXT. ISLAND - FOREST - DAY
Charlie is walking alone through the underbrush. He hears a growl and looks around.
He hears the loud shrieking of a boar and starts to run.
PRE-LAP:
INT. CHURCH - CONFESSIONAL - DAY
A priest slides the partition open. Charlie kneels on the other side.
PRIEST
Go ahead, my son.
CHARLIE
Last night I had physical relations with a girl
I didn't even know.
PRIEST
I see. Anything else?
CHARLIE
(haltingly)
Yeah, uh, right after that, I had relations with another
girl. Then straight after that, I watched while they had
relations with each other.
The priest looks at Charlie.
PRIEST
Well, we all have our temptations. But giving in to them,
that's your choice. As we live our lives, it's really
nothing but a series of choices, isn't it?
CHARLIE
Well, then I've made my choice. I have to quit the band.
Charlie exits the confessional, dips his hand in holy water and crosses himself.
INT. CHURCH - DAY - CONTINUOUS
Charlie hears a hard tapping on the pews and looks down the aisle of the church to see a man sitting with his feet up. Charlie walks up to him.
Charlie pulls Liam's feet off the pew.
LIAM
Relax, choirboy. I bring good tidings of great joy.
We've just been signed. A recording contract.
EXT. ISLAND - FOREST - PRESENT DAY
Charlie is still running from the boar. He climbs a slope while the boar gets caught in a net. Locke steps out from behind some trees.
CHARLIE
I'm glad I could oblige. Now give me my bloody drugs.
EXT. ISLAND - FOREST - DAY
Right where we left off.
LOCKE
Yet you gave them to me. Hmm.
CHARLIE
And I bloody well regret it. I'm sick, man. Can't
you see that?
LOCKE
I think you're a lot stronger than you know, Charlie,
and I'm going to prove it to you. I'll let you ask me
for your drugs three times. Third time, I'm gonna give
them to you. Now, just so we're clear, this is one.
CHARLIE
Why? Why? Why are you doing this? To torture me? Just
get rid of them and have done with it.
LOCKE
If I did that you wouldn't have a choice, Charlie. And
having choices, making decisions based on more than instinct
is the only thing that separates you –
(indicates the boar)
– from him.
Locke goes to the boar and slits its throat off screen.
EXT. ISLAND - BEACH - DAY - LATER
Sayid has just shoved an upright pole into the sand. Kate and Boone are with him.
BOONE
Of course there are.
SAYID
The power cells are grafted onto the antennas are dry. There's no
telling how long they'll last. A minute, maybe more, maybe less.
KATE
So we have to wait until we're in position before we switch them on.
BOONE
Well, wait a second. How are we going to be able to tell that we're
actually in the right position? We have no way to communicate with
each other.
Sayid pull three objects out of his bag.
The rockets are about a foot long.
KATE
Okay, but you said that there are two complications.
SAYID
The battery in the transceiver is dead. Without the transceiver
all of this is for nothing. Something from a laptop computer would
probably work, but I've not been able to find anything.
KATE
I think I might know where to look.
EXT. ISLAND - BEACH - TENT - DAY - LATER
Kate is confronting Sawyer, who is sitting and reading Watership Down.
SAWYER
We are testy. Still upset about your little breakup? You and Jacko?
KATE
Must be exhausting.
SAWYER
What's that?
KATE
Living like a parasite – always taking, never giving.
SAWYER
Boy, you got me pegged, don't you?
KATE
I get it now. You don't want off this island because there's nothing
for you to go back for. Nobody you miss and no one misses you.
SAWYER
Oh, are you feeling sorry for me?
KATE
I don't feel sorry for you. I pity you.
Sawyer smiles and sighs. He pulls the battery out of a laptop.
He hands her the battery.
INT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY
Charlie is strumming his guitar. Hurley and Jack walk up carrying suitcases.
JACK
I packed everything I thought might be useful here without leaving
the others shorthanded.
CHARLIE
Hey, do you guys need a hand?
(he puts his guitar down and gets up)
I used to lug the band's equipment before we had roadies, way back
in the day. Here, let me.
Charlie reaches down to pick up a suitcase. At the same time, Jack says:
Charlie picks the suitcase up and all the contents spill out – all the medication.
CHARLIE
Sorry. I was just trying to help.
JACK
Oh, I know. It's okay.
(to Hurley)
Hey, you want to help me grab the rest of the bags?
HURLEY
(unenthusiastically)
Oh, could I?
Charlie starts to sort through the drugs.
CHARLIE
Oh, uh, have a headache.
Jack takes the bottle that Charlie grabbed.
CHARLIE
I was looking for aspirin.
JACK
Pretty strong stuff for a headache.
CHARLIE
Yeah. Right.
JACK
Hey, you okay? You're looking a little –
CHARLIE
I – no. It's nothing. It's just a headache.
JACK
Charlie, leave it. Go get some water. Maybe you're dehydrated.
Charlie tries to clean up the mess but Jack stops him.
Charlie gets up and grabs his guitar.
EXT. CHURCH - DAY
The steeple bell is tolling and Liam and Charlie are walking through the courtyard.
CHARLIE
Watch the language.
LIAM
This is our shot at the big time. What? You don't want
to be famous?
CHARLIE
It's not all about that. I only care about the music.
LIAM
Yeah, your music. Your songs that got us signed. I'm just
a clown with a pretty face that sings them. And you want to
take away my chance to be somebody?
CHARLIE
Liam, it's not about you. It's – I love the band. It's not
who I am. Sometimes I just get lost in it.
LIAM
Won't happen ‘cause I'll be there looking out for you. We'll
look out for each other. What brothers do, right? Right?
Liam tries to mock fight with Charlie but is stopped.
LIAM
We walk away.
CHARLIE
Liam, promise.
LIAM
We walk away. You're the rock god, baby brother.
Charlie smiles, then pushes Liam and runs away.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - PRESENT DAY
Jin is getting water and trying to soothe his wrist where the handcuff is. Sun walks up and sees this.
JIN
(in Korean)
[It's fine. It will heal.]
There is a pause as he sees what shirt Sun is wearing – a spaghetti tank top.
SUN
(in Korean)
[It's too hot.]
Hurley walks up to Charlie and hands him his guitar case.
CHARLIE
Oh, yeah. Probably wondering because I play bass in Driveshaft.
I wrote a bunch of tunes on that. "You All, Everybody"...
HURLEY
Listen, man. Jack just wants you to find another place for it.
He's moving supplies and says it's in the way.
Hurley walks away.
INT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY - LATER
Jack is putting away supplies and Charlie walks in.
JACK
Charlie.
CHARLIE
Like I'm some useless joke.
JACK
What are you talking about?
CHARLIE
"Charlie's not good enough to do this, Charlie's just in the way."
JACK
Just sit down. Let me take a look at you.
CHARLIE
Oh, you're gonna look out for me, yeah? We'll look out for
each other. That's how it is.
JACK
Charlie, just calm down, all right? You're not yourself right now.
CHARLIE
You don't know me! I'm a bloody rock god!
The cave rumble and rocks start to fall.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - CONTINUOUS
Sun and Jin stand. Hurley, Jin and Sun run toward the cave where dust comes pouring out. Charlie climbs out of the rubble.
Charlie points to the cave-in.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY
Outside the cave-in, right where we left off.
CHARLIE
I don't know what happened. We were just talking and it came
down on us. It all happened so fast.
HURLEY
Dude, we gotta get help. Charlie, go down to the beach
and get help.
CHARLIE
Okay, I'm on it.
HURLEY
And make sure you tell Kate.
EXT. ISLAND - HILL - DAY
Kate and Sayid are walking to their triangulation points.
SAYID
No worse than the odds of surviving that plane crash.
KATE
People survive plane crashes all the time.
SAYID
Not like this one. The tail section broke off when we were still
in the air. Our section cartwheeled through the jungle and yet we
escaped with nothing but a few scrapes. How do you explain that?
KATE
Blind dumb luck.
SAYID
No one's that lucky. We shouldn't have survived.
KATE
Sorry, Sayid, but some things just happen – no rhyme, no reason.
EXT. ISLAND - BEACH - DAY
People are lounging on the beach when Charlie runs up.
MICHAEL
What's wrong, man?
CHALIE
It's Jack. He's trapped.
BOONE
What?
CHARLIE
A cave collapsed. We don't even know if he's alive. Come on,
we gotta go.
Michael points to a man in a yellow plain shirt - Steve.
STEVE
I'm Steve.
SCOTT
(man in a navy shirt)
I'm Scott.
MICHAEL
We got an emergency. Grab a couple of guys and let's go.
CHARLIE
We got to go now.
MICHAEL
Hey, come on, let's go.
Boone starts to run with the group back to the caves but turns back and runs up to Shannon.
SHANNON
Why?
BOONE
Because Kate and Sayid are triangulating the French signal. But
the antenna's power is really weak, so you have to wait until they
fire their bottle rockets. Then you fire this one, then you turn
on the antenna.
SHANNON
Switch is where now?
BOONE
Did you hear a word I said? Can you or can't you do it?
SHANNON
Yeah, I can.
BOONE
Okay. Okay.
Charlie is running by the tent and stops.
SAWYER
(nearby)
Sorry, sport. Just missed her. Her and Mohammed headed into the
woods about ten minutes ago.
CHARLIE
Which way?
SAWYER
Don't sweat it, amigo. I know which way they went.
CHARLIE
Yeah, but –
SAWYER
I'll tell her. You just keep doing...
(pause)
...whatever it is you do around here.
INT. CONCERT ARENA - STAGE
– stage We hear Driveshaft playing. The crowd is screaming.
LIAM
(singing)
Acting like it's stupid people
Charlie stares at him, clearly annoyed.
Charlie walks up to him and stares again.
INT. CONCERT ARENA - BACKSTAGE - LATER
Charlie and Liam walk backstage. People line the hallway cheering and taking pictures. It's a party.
CHARLIE
What the hell was that?
LIAM
Another kick-ass show. You were bloody brilliant.
CHARLIE
I sing the chorus to "You All, Everybody".
LIAM
Oh, yeah. Sorry. It's like I got caught up in the moment.
A cameraman takes a photo of Charlie and Liam.
CHARLIE
Yeah, I know. But if I start and then you come in after –
GIRL 1
Liam!
LIAM
(to bouncer)
She's cool! Let her in.
(to Charlie)
Won't happen again. I promise.
Liam walks to Girl 1 and kisses her.
Liam pulls her into a doorway, pulls out a film case from his pocket and pull out a bag from within. Charlie sees this.
Liam closes his dressing room door.
EXT. ISLAND - FOREST - DAY
Charlie is thinking about the previous flashback.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY
People are trying to clear the rubble. Michael runs up.
HURLEY
Wait? Jack's in there.
MICHAEL
Let me check it out before you start moving things around.
If it's unstable –
HURLEY
Well, how do you know –?
MICHAEL
Eight years of construction work. Hey, Walt. Get back, man. I don't
want you near the rocks, okay? And take the dog with you.
WALT
You guys should get Mr. Locke.
HURLEY
Locke's out in the jungle killing stuff. Who knows where he is.
MICHAEL
All right, look. This area here –
(points to the right)
– is load bearing. We got to dig where there's no danger of the
wall buckling in on itself.
(he walks around to the left)
All right, here. We dig in here so the wall doesn't collapse. Four
at a time, by hand till we can find some kind of shovel. We take
shifts and go slow. Whoever isn't digging should be clearing the
rocks that we pull out and bring water to who is working, okay?
Let's move. Come on.
EXT. ISLAND - HILL - DAY
Sawyer catches up to Kate and Sayid.
KATE
What the hell are you doing here?
SAWYER
Easy. I just came to tell you something.
KATE
What makes you think I'm interested in anything you have to say?
Long pause.
KATE
You're here to help?
Kate and Sayid walk away.
Sawyer follows.
EXT. ISLAND - FOREST - DAY - LATER
Locke is carving boar flesh and Charlie walks up.
CHARLIE
Yeah. Jack. He's, uh, there's been an accident at the caves.
Jack's trapped in a cave-in.
LOCKE
Is anyone trying to get him out?
CHARLIE
Yeah. There's a bunch of people there now.
LOCKE
And why aren't you with them?
Charlie looks at him and then at the ground.
CHARLIE
I want my stash, Locke. I can't stand feeling like this.
LOCKE
Come here. I'm gonna show you something.
Locke walks to a tree that has a cocoon hanging off of a branch and uses his knife as a pointer.
CHARLIE
I don't know. A butterfly, I guess.
LOCKE
No, it's much more beautiful that that. That's a moth cocoon.
It's ironic; butterflies get all the attention. But moths –
they spin silk, they're stronger, they're faster.
CHARLIE
That's wonderful, bu-
LOCKE
You see this little hole?
(indicates with the knife)
This moth's just about to emerge. It's in there right now, struggling.
It's digging its way through the thick hide of the cocoon. Now, I
could help it, take my knife, gently widen the opening and the moth
would be free, but it would be too weak to survive. Struggle is nature's
way of strengthening. Now, this is the second time you've asked me for
your drugs back.
Locke shows Charlie the bag of heroin.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY
Michael, Jin and the rest of the group are hauling rocks to clear an opening.
HURLEY
Jack? Jack? Can you hear me Jack?
(pause)
Come on, did, answer me.
(Jack groans.)
I hear him!
BOONE
He's alive.
HURLEY
Jack, bro, you okay?
JACK
I'm – I'm pinned. I can't move. I can't move.
MICHAEL
What do we do? How do we get him out?
INT. ISLAND - CAVES
Jack is pinned under the rocks.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY
MICHAEL
Hey, listen Jack. We're gonna get you out of there, okay?
EXT. ISLAND - HILL - DAY
Sayid, Kate and Sawyer stop walking.
Sayid hands Sawyer the antenna.
Sawyer walks to the tree and starts climbing.
KATE
Who does?
SAYID
I don't trust him with you.
KATE
I can handle him.
Sayid walks off.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY
HURLEY
What, crawl through that?
BOONE
I think he means someone smaller.
JIN
(in Korean)
[I won't stand for my wife being put in danger because of
you people.]
HURLEY
Dude, we don't understand Chinese.
MICHAEL
Korean, man. They're Korean.
Charlie walks up.
MICHAEL
No, man, look. You're still too shook up. I might be able
to squeeze through –
CHARLIE
Wait. Who's gonna take care of your son if something happens?
(points to Sun)
She's got a husband.
(points to Boone)
He's got a sister. I'm alone here. No one on the island.
Let me do this.
EXT. ISLAND - HILL - DAY
Kate is tapping the rocket against her hand nervously. She checks her watch.
KATE
I just don't want to miss Sayid's signal. Remember, I'll fire
the flare, you set off the antenna.
SAWYER
I just thank the good Lord I got you here to keep reminding me.
KATE
It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it.
SAWYER
So, what is it about that guy? Jack? What is it about him that
makes you all weak in the loins?
KATE
You try to be a pig, or it just comes naturally?
SAWYER
So he's a doctor, right?
(Kate smiles)
Yeah, ladies dig the doctors. Hell, give me a couple of band-aids,
a bottle of peroxide, I could run this island, too.
KATE
You're actually comparing yourself to Jack?
SAWYER
Difference between us ain't that big, sweetheart. I guarantee you
if he had survived a few more weeks on this island you'd have
figured that out.
Kate looks at him abruptly.
SAWYER
Ah, damn. Didn't I tell you? Word from the valley – St. Jack got
himself buried in a cave-in.
KATE
What?
SAWYER
Look at the bright side. Now you have someone else to pity.
She throws the rocket at him and runs off to the caves.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY
Charlie is checking a flashlight.
CHARLIE
Anything else?
MICHAEL
Yeah. Good luck.
BOONE
Be safe, man.
Boone hands Charlie a water bottle.
CHARLIE
All right, thanks guys.
He heads into the tunnel.
INT. CONCERT ARENA - BACKSTAGE
There are lot of people talking and cameras flashing. Charlie is walking through the crowd and enters a dressing room where Liam and a few women are lounging on a couch.
INT. CONCERT ARENA - BACKSTAGE - DRESSING ROOM
CHARLIE
Bloody hell.
LIAM
Hey, baby brother. Grab a bird and sit down.
CHARLIE
(to the women at the buffet)
Get out.
(to the women lounging with Liam)
You too, get out. Out! Come on, now.
LIAM
Come back in 5 minutes.
CHARLIE
Sound check. You missed sound check. You don't show up for
rehearsal. We've got a show in an hour.
LIAM
Ooh, show. I like shows.
Liam gets up from the couch and goes to the vanity, where he does a hit of heroin – off screen.
CHARLIE
All right. That's it. After tonight, we cancel the rest of the tour.
LIAM
What?
CHARLIE
And walk away.
LIAM
Are you off your end?
CHARLIE
We're walking away like we said we would if things got too –
LIAM
Walk away and go where?
CHARLIE
Liam, you're killing yourself with this junk. You're destroying Driveshaft.
LIAM
I AM DRIVESHAFT! No one even knows who the sodding bass player is!
This is it, Charlie. End of the rainbow. Do you really think you can
walk away? Then what, eh? Face it, if you're not in this band what
the bloody hell use are you?
Liam walks to the door.
LIAM
Piss off!
Liam leaves the dressing room. Charlie goes to the vanity, sits, thinks, and takes the heroin baggie and starts to cry.
INT. ISLAND - CAVES - TUNNEL - PRESENT DAY
Charlie is crawling through, and there's rumbling.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY - CONTINUOUS
INT. ISLAND - CAVES - CONTINOUS
Charlie crawls to the open space where Jack is pinned, and the tunnel behind him collapses.
They both chuckle.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY
HURLEY
We don't move, they're gonna run out of air
MICHAEL
Hey, would you stop talking? I'm trying to think
Kate walks up.
MICHAEL
Kate?
KATE
Where is he? Where's Jack?
There is a long pause when no one answers.
KATE
Does anyone know if he's alive?
(pause)
Is he alive?
MICHAEL
We don't know. Charlie went in there through a tunnel that we dug,
but it collapsed.
KATE
Why is nobody digging?
Kate starts to dig, and others follow.
INT. ISLAND - CAVES
Charlie is positioned to lift a large rock that is pinning Jack
He pushes the rock off of Jack, who groans in pain.
JACK
My shoulder is dislocated.
CHARLIE
What?
JACK
Yeah. You're gonna have to pop it back in.
CHARLIE
No, I can't.
JACK
I need your help on this, man.
CHARLIE
I can't do it, Jack.
JACK
Yes, you can. Yes, you can
CHARLIE
Okay. What do I – what do I do?
JACK
Take my hand.
CHARLIE
Just a sec. Okay. Okay, wait. Okay. Okay.
JACK
Now, when I tell you to, pull as hard as you possibly can.
CHARLIE
Jack, I don't know if I can – I don't –
JACK
You can do this, Charlie.
CHARLIE
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Long pause.
Charlie pulls and pops Jack's shoulder back in.
EXT. HOUSE - PORCH - DAY
Charlie walks up to the front door of a house and knocks. Liam opens the door.
CHARLIE
What, a bloke can't pay his big brother a visit once in a while?
LIAM
Of course you can. Why didn't you call, you lunatic?
(they hug)
What are you doing in Sydney?
EXT. HOUSE - YARD - DAY
Liam is pushing a little girl on a swing.
Liam takes the girl and puts her in a sandbox. Liam and Charlie sit at a table.
LIAM
Charlie, I don't want to come back
CHARLIE
Yeah, right. Well, here's the thing. They won't book Driveshaft
without you. So I'm asking as a brother the way you asked me.
LIAM
You were with me the night I missed Megan's birth. You were the one
I was stumbling around Dresden with trying to find a sodding fix.
Charlie's hands are shaky and Liam sees this.
CHARLIE
Oh, don't change the subject.
LIAM
That's why you haven't been returning my calls.
CHARLIE
You gonna go on tour with us or not?
LIAM
You said you'd get help, man.
CHARLIE
I lost your sodding number.
LIAM
You're still a junkie!
CHARLIE
Well, you did this to me! It was about the music! Music, Liam.
You took that away from me.
LIAM
Listen, why don't you stay with us for a few weeks? Karen and me.
We can get you help. Sydney's got some really good programs.
CHARLIE
Forget it.
Charlie gets up and starts to walk away.
CHARLIE
Thanks for your help, brother.
LIAM
Stay, please. I'm just looking out for you.
Charlie stops walking.
INT. ISLAND - CAVES - PRESENT DAY
Charlie's really sweaty and rubbing his face.
CHARLIE
I don't know what you're going on about.
JACK
How long since your last fix?
CHARLIE
Almost a day and a half.
JACK
How's the withdrawal treating you? Any hallucinations?
CHARLIE
Apart from the conversation I had with you about an hour ago
in the jungle? No, not really.
JACK
Why didn't you say anything? I could've helped you through this.
CHARLIE.
Yeah, you think I'm useless and a junkie to boot.
JACK
Useless? You're not useless. That took a lot of guts getting
in here and trying to rescue me. I won't forget that.
CHARLIE
For the rest of our lives?
JACK
(laughs)
At the rate we're using our oxygen in here, that won't be too long.
CHARLIE
This place. It reminds me of confession. This little claustrophobic booth.
JACK
I wouldn't have taken you for a religious man.
CHARLIE
I used to be. Hey, you want to hear my confession?
(they both laugh)
It might take a while.
JACK
Hey, I'm no saint either.
Charlie hears wings and looks over to see a moth flying around.
CHARLIE
There's a moth.
JACK
A what?
CHARLIE
Right behind you. Look, look.
(points)
There's a bloody moth in here. Look.
Charlie starts to follow the moth.
Charlie starts digging.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY
Kate is still clearing the tunnel.
KATE
I'm fine.
MICHAEL
(he goes up to her)
We got enough people to dig. You keep going at this pace,
you're going to kill yourself.
Kate gives him a look of "Don't even bother trying to stop me."
INT. ISLAND - CAVES
Charlie continues to dig.
CHARLIE
I can see light.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - DAY
Kate is handing rocks to Michael.
Elsewhere Charlie's hand pops out of the ground.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - LATER
Jack and Charlie walk into the area. Kate walks up to Jack and hugs him.
HURLEY
How'd you get out?
JACK
Charlie. Charlie found a way out.
HURLEY
Dude, you rock!
Hurley hugs Charlie.
MICHAEL
Good job.
HURLEY
Easy, easy, easy.
BOONE
(to Charlie)
Nice work.
WALT
You did it, man.
CHARLIE
Thanks. Thank you.
EXT. ISLAND - HILL - DAY
Sayid is staring at his watch. He lights his bottle rocket and steps back.
EXT. ISLAND - BEACH - DAY
Shannon is lounging with another girl
A rocket blast is heard overhead. The companion points it out to Shannon who looks and gets up fast.
Shannon lights her bottle rocket.
EXT. ISLAND - HILL - DAY
Sayid sees Boone/Shannon's rocket from the beach, and looks to the left.
Sawyer/Kate's rocket goes up.
He grabs the transceiver and turns it on. It reads "Acquiring Signal".
The transceiver shows full reception.
Sayid suddenly gets whacked on the back of the head and is knocked out. We do not see the assailant.
EXT. ISLAND - CAVES - NIGHT
Jack and Charlie are sitting together near the spring. Hurley hands a water bottle to Jack and a cup of water to Charlie.
JACK
Flu. He's got the flu.
HURLEY
Oh, man. That's rough. After all you've been through.
Take it easy man.
Hurley walks away and Charlie give Jack a look of thanks then over to Locke, who's tending to the cooking boar.
Jack nods and Charlie gets up and goes over to Locke.
Michael shares a look with Sun. Kate comes up to Jack and puts a makeshift sling over his arm. He laughs.
JACK
Ah, my very first sling.
KATE
How's that?
JACK
Good. Thank you.
KATE
So these are the safe caves you've been going on about.
JACK
This was a fluke. Michael checked out the integrity of the rest
of the caves. Gave them an okay. So, you're headed back to the
beach, huh?
KATE
Sayid should be back there by now, and if his plan worked...
JACK
Then we're one step closer to getting off this island. Thanks
for the sling, Kate.
KATE
You're welcome.
Near the campfire.
Locke looks disappointed
CHARLIE
I've made my choice.
Locke hands the drugs over to Charlie who throws them into the fire. Locke smiles.
Charlie looks up to see a moth flying up into the sky.
