Lost (2004–2010): Season 1, Episode 7 - The Moth - full transcript

Charlie.

- How about you and I go for a walk?
- No.

No thanks, Locke.
I'm gonna stay in today.

Come on.

Fresh air will do you good.

I take better pictures than that.

Smaller too, if you want
something for your wallet.

I just came by for a few things
and this was...

This was with my stuff.

So you're not staying?

Call me a broken record,
but caves are natural shelter.



And a hell of a lot safer
than living on the beach.

- You're mad at me.
- 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.

- I'm not setting up house here.
- I want off this island too,

but we know that's not
gonna happen soon.

Sayid has a plan.

To find the source
of the distress code.

The signal's coming from the island.

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'll be any different?

I believe it.



I wish I shared your faith.

I wouldn't mind sharing a few things
with her myself.

What do you want, Sawyer?

Heard the doc here
was vacating the premises.

Thought I'd lay claims to my new digs
before somebody else.

I could fix this place up.
Might find somebody to share it with.

I'll talk to you later.

Locke?

Is that you?

Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned.

It's been a week
since my last confession.

Go ahead, my son.

Last night,
I had physical relations

with a girl I didn't even know.

I see.

- Anything else?
- Yeah.

Right after that I had...

...relations with another girl.

Then straight after that,
I watched

while they had...

...relations with each other.

You see, it's my band, Father.

Drive Shaft.

We've been playing the clubs
in Manchester

and we've been getting some heat.

A following, you know, and...

The girls...

There's some real temptations
that come with the territory...

...if you know what I mean.

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?

Well, then I've made my choice.

I have to quit the band.

And "the meek shall inherit the earth."

Liam, what are you doing?
This is a church.

- Get your boots off.
- Relax, choir boy.

I bring good tidings of great joy.

We've just been signed
a recording contract.

You're gonna be a rock god.

Nice work, Charlie.

You make excellent bait.

I'm glad I could oblige.

Now give me my bloody drugs.

Did you hear what I said?

I want my drugs back.
I need them.

Yet you gave them to me.

And I bloody well regret it.

I'm sick, man.
Can't you see that?

I think you're a lot stronger
than you know, Charlie.

And I'm gonna prove it to you.

I'll let you ask me for your drugs
three times.

The third time,
I'll give them to you.

Now, just so we're clear.
This is one.

Why? Why?

Why are you doing this?
To torture me?

Get rid of them
and have done with it.

If I did that,
you wouldn't have a choice.

Having choices, making decisions
based on more than instinct

is the only thing
that separates you from him.

Three antennae.

Three points of a triangle.

One here on the beach.

Another, Kate will position in the
jungle roughly two kilometers in.

And the third, I'll take
to high ground up there.

If the French transmission is coming
from somewhere within our triangulation,

I'll be able to locate the source.

- But there are two complications.
- Of course there are.

The power cells I've grafted
onto the antennas are dry.

No telling how long they'll last.

A minute. Maybe more.
Maybe less.

So we have to wait
until we're in position.

How are we gonna tell
that we're in the right position?

We have no way to communicate
with each other.

Bottle rockets?

Thank God for firework smugglers.
When I'm in position,

I'll fire off my rocket.

When you two see it,
you fire yours.

As soon as the last one has gone up,
we'll all switch on our antennas.

- You said two complications.
- The battery in the transceiver's dead.

Without the transceiver,
all of this is for nothing.

Something from a laptop
would probably work,

- but I've not found anything.
- I think I might know where to look.

You've been hoarding like a packrat
and you don't have a single laptop?

We are testy.

Still upset about your little breakup?
You and Jacko.

It must be exhausting.

- What's that?
- Living like a parasite.

Always taking, never giving.

Boy, you got me pegged,
don't you?

I get it. You don't want off this island
because there's nothing to go back for.

Nobody you miss.
And no one misses you.

You're feeling sorry for me.

I don't feel sorry for you.
I pity you.

All you had to do was say please.

Dude, what's in these things,
cinder blocks?

Packed everything I thought useful,
without leaving the others short-handed.

You guys need a hand?

I used to lug the band's equipment

before we had roadies
way back in the day.

- Here, let me...
- No, Charlie. The zipper's...

...broken.

- Sorry. I was trying to help.
- I know. It's OK.

Hey, you wanna help me grab
the rest of those bags?

Oh, could I?

What are you doing?

I have a... headache.

Diazepam.

It's for anxiety.

- I was looking for aspirin.
- Pretty strong stuff for a headache.

Yeah, right.

- You OK? You're looking a little...
- It's nothing. It's just a headache.

Charlie, leave it. Go get some water.
Maybe you're dehydrated.

Charlie, I got it.

Go take care of yourself, man.

We don't need you right now.

Come on, Charlie-boy,
we can't do this without you.

You are bloody Drive Shaft.

Watch the language.

This is our shot at the big time.

What? You don't want to be famous?

It's not about that.
I only care about the music.

Your music,
your songs that got us signed.

I'm just a clown with a pretty face
that sings them.

You wanna take away my chance
to be somebody?

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.

Won't happen.
I'll be there looking out for you.

We'll look out for each other.
What brothers do, right?

Right?

Wait, wait, wait.

Just promise me one thing.

If things get too crazy,
no matter what,

if I say we're done,
we walk away.

- We walk away.
- Liam, promise.

We walk away.

You're the rock god, baby brother.

You wanker!

Hey, dude, this yours?

Oh, yeah.

I play bass in Drive Shaft.

I wrote a bunch of tunes on that.
You All Everybody.

Listen, man. Jack just wants you
to find another place for it.

He's moving supplies
and says it's in the way.

You know, a lot of people
look up to me.

- They respect me, and you...
- Charlie...

You treat me like a bloody child,
some useless joke.

- What?
- Charlie's not good enough to do this.

- Charlie's in the way.
- Let me look at you.

You'll look out for me?
We'll look out for each other.

Calm down.
You're not yourself right now.

You don't know me!
I'm a bloody rock god!

Oh, no.

Charlie, where's Jack?

Where's Jack?

Jack!

- Jack, can you hear me?
- I don't know what happened.

We were just talking
and it came down.

- It happened so fast.
- We gotta get help.

- Go down to the beach and get help!
- OK, I'm on it.

And make sure you tell Kate!

What we're doing,

chasing some phantom distress signal,

what are the odds of this working?

No worse than the odds of us
surviving that plane crash.

- People survive crashes all the time.
- Not like this one.

The tail section broke off
when we were still in the air.

Our section cart-wheeled,

and yet we escaped
with nothing but a few scrapes.

How do you explain that?

Blind, dumb luck.

No one's that lucky.
We shouldn't have survived.

Sorry, Sayid,
but some things just happen.

No rhyme, no reason.

- We need help!
- What's wrong, man?

- It's Jack. He's trapped.
- What?

- Our cave collapsed. We've got to go.
- Hey, Scott?

- I'm Steve.
- I'm Scott.

We got an emergency.
Let's go.

- We gotta go now.
- Come on, go, go, go.

Come on, let's go.

Shannon, you have to be ready
to do something important.

At 5:00 sharp, you need
to be ready to turn that antenna on.

- There's a switch at the base.
- Why?

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.

Got it?

- The switch is where now?
- Did you hear a word I said?

- Can you or can't you do it?
- Yeah, I can.

OK, OK.

Wait. Kate.

- Hey, we have to tell Kate about Jack.
- Sorry, sport, you just missed her.

Her and Muhammad
headed into the woods.

- Which way?
- Don't sweat it, amigo.

- I know which way they went.
- But...

I'll tell her. You just keep doing
whatever it is you do around here.

You all everybody

Acting like you're stupid people

Wearing expensive clothes

You all everybody

All right! All right, all right.

Hey, mate.
Thanks for coming in.

What the hell was that?

Another kick-ass show.
You were bloody brilliant.

I sing the chorus to You All Everybody.

Oh, yeah.
Sorry about that.

I got caught up in the moment.
Like the crowd wanted it, you know.

I know, but if I start
and then you come in after...

She's cool. Let her in.

It won't happen again.
I promise.

Hello, lovely.

Chill, baby brother.

- Wait!
- Jack's in there.

Let me check it out
before you move things.

- If it's unstable...
- How do you know?

Eight years of construction work.
I don't want you near the rocks.

- Take the dog.
- You should get Mr. Locke.

Locke's in the jungle killing stuff.
Who knows where he is.

All right.
This area here is load bearing.

We gotta dig where there's
no danger of the wall buckling in.

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

and bringing water to who is working.
OK? Let's move.

What the hell are you doing here?

Easy. I just came
to tell you something.

What makes you think I'm interested
in anything you have to say?

You were right about me.

That I don't help anyone but myself.

Well, here I am.
Ready to pitch in.

You're here to help?

Hey, you act any more surprised,
I'm gonna get offended.

Something wrong, Charlie?

Yeah. Jack.

He's...

There's been an accident
in the caves.

Jack's trapped in a cave-in.

- Is anyone trying to get him out?
- There's a bunch of people there now.

And why aren't you with them?

You didn't come to tell me
about Jack, did you?

I want my stash, Locke.

I can't stand feeling like this.

Come here.
Let me show you something.

What do you suppose
is in that cocoon, Charlie?

I don't know.
A butterfly, I guess.

It's much more beautiful than that.
That's a moth cocoon.

It's ironic.
Butterflies get all the attention.

But moths, they spin silk.

- They're stronger, faster...
- That's wonderful, but...

You see this little hole?

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.

The struggle is nature's way
of strengthening it.

Now, this is the second time you've
asked me for your drugs back.

Ask me again and it's yours.

Keep going. Keep going.

We're through.
We got a hole.

Jack!

Jack! Can you hear me, Jack?

Come on, dude, answer me.

I hear him!
He's alive. Jack, bro, you OK?

I'm pinned. I can't move.

I can't move.

What do we do?
How do we get him out?

- Charlie was with me.
- He's OK. He made it out.

- Listen, Jack?
- Yeah?

We're gonna get you out of there, OK?

We'll place the second antenna here.

You want to help?

Attach this antenna up in that tree.
As high up as you can.

Golly, thanks, boss.

Five o'clock.
Watch for my flare.

Then it's your turn.

I don't trust him.

Who does?

I don't trust him with you.

I can handle him.

OK. We can't safely
make that tunnel any bigger.

But since Jack can't get out, one of us
is gonna have to go in and unpin him.

- Crawl through that?
- He means someone smaller.

Dude, we don't understand Chinese.

Korean, man.

- They're Korean.
- I'll do it.

Charlie?

No, man.
You're still too shook up.

- I might be able to squeeze...
- Wait.

Who's gonna take care of your son
if something happens?

She's got a husband.
He's got a sister.

I'm alone here.

No one on the island.

Let me do this.

Still ain't five, just like
the last time you checked.

I don't want to miss
Sayid's signal.

I'll fire the flare,
you set off the antenna.

I just thank the good Lord
I got you here to keep reminding me.

It's a dirty job,
but somebody's gotta do it.

So, what is it about that guy?

Jack.

What is it about him that
makes you all weak in the loins?

Do you try to be a pig
or does it just come naturally?

It's that he's a doctor, right?
Yeah, ladies dig the doctors.

Hell, give me a couple of Band-Aids,
a bottle of peroxide,

I could run this island too.

You're actually comparing yourself
to Jack?

The 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.

What did you just say?

Damn. Didn't I tell you?

Word from the valley is Saint Jack
got himself buried in a cave-in.

- What?
- Look at the bright side,

now you have someone else to pity.

Listen, man.
Go slow, all right?

Try not to nudge
any of the rocks around you.

- Anything else?
- Yeah. Good luck.

- Be safe, man.
- Good luck, Charlie.

All right. Thanks, guys.

Drive Shaft! Drive Shaft!
Drive Shaft!

Everybody wants a piece.
Everybody wants more.

Everybody wants another piece.

They can't leave you alone
when you're on top...

Bloody hell.

Hey, baby brother.
Grab a bird and sit down.

Get out.
You too, get out.

- Out!
- Out?

Come on. Now!

Come back in five minutes.

Sound check.
You missed sound check.

You don't show up for rehearsal.
We've got a show in an hour.

A show. I like shows.

All right. That's it.

After tonight,
we cancel the rest of the tour.

- What?
- We walk away.

Are you off your head?

Like we said we would
if things got...

Walk away and go where?

You're killing yourself with this junk.
You're destroying Drive Shaft.

I am Drive Shaft!

No one even knows who
the sodding bass player is.

This is it, Charlie.
End of the rainbow.

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.
- Piss off!

Charlie?

Charlie, move!

Charlie!

I'm...

I'm here to rescue you.

- We try again.
- We can't leave them.

- They're gonna run out of air.
- Stop talking. I'm trying to think.

Where is he?

- Where is he?
- Kate.

Where is he?
Where's Jack?

He's in there.

Does anyone know if he's alive?

- Is he alive?
- We don't know.

Charlie went in there
through a tunnel that we dug.

But it collapsed.

Why is nobody digging?

Give it to me.
Give it to me.

OK. One, two...

...three!

Sorry, Jack. Sorry.

You all right?

- My shoulder's dislocated.
- What?

- You're gonna have to pop it back in.
- No, I can't.

- I need your help.
- I can't do it.

- Yes, you can.
- I can't.

Yes, you can.

OK.

What do I do?

- Take my hand.
- This hand? OK.

OK, wait. OK.

Now, when I tell you to,
pull as hard as you possibly can.

Jack, I don't know if I...

You can do this, Charlie.

OK, OK, OK.

Now.

Charlie.
What are you doing here?

A bloke can't pay
his big brother a visit?

Of course you can.
Why didn't you call, you lunatic?

What are you doing in Sydney?

It's all lined up, Liam.

Eight weeks on tour, opening
for some band called Meat Coat.

First gig's in Los Angeles.

LA, Liam.

This is a chance
to get back on a label.

A real one.

This is our comeback.

Charlie, I don't want to come back.

Yeah. Right. Well...

Here's the thing.

They won't book Drive Shaft
without you.

So, I'm asking...

...as a brother...

...the way you asked me.

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 fix.

- You're still using, aren't you?
- Don't change the subject.

That's why you haven't
returned my calls.

- You gonna do this tour?
- You said you'd get help.

I lost your number.

- You're still a junkie.
- You did this to me!

It was about the music.

Music, Liam.

You took that away from me.

Listen.

Why don't you stay with us
for a few weeks?

Karen and me,
we can get you help.

- Sydney's got really good programs...
- Forget it.

Don't go.

- Thanks for your help.
- Stay. Please.

- I was just looking out for you.
- You never looked out for me.

I have a plane to catch.

How long has it been?

I don't know what
you're going on about.

How long since your last fix?

Almost a day and a half.

How's the withdrawal treating you?
Any hallucinations?

Apart from the conversation I had with
you about an hour ago in the jungle.

No, not really.

Why didn't you say anything?
I could've helped you through this.

Yeah. You thinking I'm useless
and a junkie to boot.

Useless? You're not useless.

That took a lot of guts getting in here
and trying to rescue me.

I won't forget that.

For the rest of our lives?

At the rate we're using our oxygen
in here, that won't be too long.

This place reminds me of confession.

Those little claustrophobic booths.

I wouldn't have taken you
for a religious man.

I used to be.

You want to hear my confession?

It might take a while.

Hey, I'm no saint, either.

What's wrong?

- It's a moth.
- A what?

Right behind you.
There's a bloody moth in here.

Look.

Charlie, what are you doing?

Kate, you need to take a break.

I'm fine.

We've got enough people to dig.

You keep going at this pace,
you're gonna kill yourself.

There's light.

- What?
- I can see light.

Hey, it's the doctor!

Easy.

My shoulder, careful.

- How did you get out?
- Charlie.

- Charlie found a way out.
- Dude, you rock.

You OK?

- Nice work.
- You did it, man.

Thanks. Thank you.

All right, everyone.
Now it's your turn.

We're in Malibu part of the year,
but the guys there are such idiots...

Damn it.

Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.

Come on, Kate. Come on.
One more. One more.

Come on, Kate.
Come on.

Yes. Yes.

Where are you?

Yes!

Where are you?
Where are you?

Dude, you feeling OK?

- You look a little...
- Flu.

- He's got the flu.
- Oh, man, that's rough.

After all you've been through.
Take it easy, man.

I think I'm gonna stretch my legs.

This place is cool.
Can we live here?

Made you something.

My very first sling.

How's that?

Good.

Thank you.

So these are the safe caves
you've been going on about.

This was a fluke.

Michael checked out the integrity
of the rest, gave them an OK.

- You're headed back to the beach, huh?
- Sayid should be back by now,

and if his plan worked then...

Then we're one step closer
to getting off this island.

Thanks for the sling, Kate.

You're welcome.

Give them to me.

This is the third time.

- Are you sure you really want it?
- I've made my choice.

I'm proud of you, Charlie.

I always knew you could do it.
