Lost (2004–2010): Season 2, Episode 10 - The 23rd Psalm - full transcript

Claire loses faith in Charlie after Eko questions him about the Virgin Mary statues.

Previously on Lost:

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

- Where's it come from?
- Based on the maps, Nigeria.

- Anyone on board?
- Two men dressed as priests.

- Priests?
- Drug runners in disguise.

The plane was loaded with heroin.

Kill him.

Shoot him. Now.

Shoot him!

Do it.

What's your name, boy?



What's your name, boy?

Eko.

Look at Mr. Eko. No hesitation.

A born killer.

Come.

You won't need that anymore.

Back.

What are you writing?

Things I need to remember.

Do you mind if I sit?

- Please.
- Thanks.

- So, you're Eko, huh?
- Yes.

Claire. And this is Aaron.

Aaron? The brother of Moses.



That must've been tough to live up to.

Everyone saying, "Why can't you be
more like your brother Moses?"

I'm sure it was.

Why did you choose it? Aaron?

I just liked it.

Aaron was a great man.

Moses had great difficulty speaking,

so it was Aaron who spoke for him.

So, you're religious, huh?

You should speak to Charlie.

He doesn't want to admit he's religious,

but he carries around
a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Statue?

He said he found it on the island.
Weird, right?

May I see it?

- Where did he find this?
- He said he found it in the jungle.

- Where in the jungle?
- I don't know.

- Where?
- Why do you...?

- It's just a statue.
- Just a statue?

Where is Charlie?

You breaking in or breaking out?

I used to love those old silent movies
where the robbers would crack a lock

with their ear pressed up
against the safe.

The money they stole was always in a
white bag with a big dollar sign on it.

Silent movies, huh?
You're not that old, man.

- I'm old enough.
- You setting the combination?

With the new folks joining us, we better
limit people's access to the guns.

Can't have just anyone who wants one
walk in and help themselves.

Which, I'm guessing,
is why you're here, Michael.

Jin, do you like The Kinks?

- Keens?
- No, the Kinks.

With a "K" at the end.
A kicking "K." "K," Kinks?

It's a good tune.

Thank you very much.
I do have a beautiful voice.

- Where did you find this?
- What happened?

- Where did you find it?
- I found it in the jungle.

Take me there.
This is not your business.

- Take me to where you found it.
- Fine. We'll go for a stroll.

There's nothing there. In the morning.

We're going now.

OK. Let me tell Claire,
so she doesn't get the wrong idea.

Tell her on the way.

Get us some beers. Go.

- Where did you find this?
- What does it matter?

- Same in the other bag?
- Yes.

Fifty.

Fifty what?

Fifty is what I will pay you in exchange
for the favor you are asking me to do.

A favor?

You have a large quantity of heroin

in a country that has no poppies
and no market for its sale.

Your drugs are of no value here,
so you must get them out.

The borders are all guarded
by the military, so you must fly.

But as I am sure you are aware,

the only private planes
currently allowed into the air

are either UN aid
or the Catholic missionaries.

And so you have come to me for a favor.

I will buy your heroin.

For 50.

It is true what they say about you.

- And what is that?
- You have no soul.

No.

Go.

Go.

And tell your friends I let you live,
that Mr. Eko let you live.

Just give me a second.

Hi. Claire.

- What happened to the statue?
- Don't play stupid.

What?

What's this?
Because this was in your little statue.

Unless I'm mistaken, I remember
you saying you were a drug addict.

I didn't know.

If it's sealed up inside a statue,
how would I know?

Claire?

I'm not using.

Look. Believe me now?

I don't care.

Someone's waiting for you.

- Got it?
- Got it.

Breath halfway out,
and gently squeeze the trigger.

Squeeze.

- Good.
- How'd you learn all this stuff?

My dad used to take me hunting.

- Hunting for what?
- Birds mostly.

Of course, birds don't shoot back.

Yeah.

People are talking, thinking
I'm gonna go running off after Walt.

If people are talking,
I'm not hearing it.

But if I was,
I'd say it's not a very smart plan.

Yeah, it's not.

Let's try one for real.

Bravo.

Well done with Claire, mate.

You got me in a lot of trouble there,
so thanks for that.

I hope you're happy.

That's right. You don't do happy.

All right. Well, we're here.

I found it right by that tree.

- You found it here?
- Yeah. I found it here.

You're lying.

I don't even know you.

You asked to see where I found it.
This is where I found it.

We're done. Have a nice hike.

You did not find the statue here.

Take me to the plane.

How did you know about the plane, man?

It's old, you know.

Been out in the jungle for years.

Of course, you would know that.
You know everything.

Why did you lie to the girl?

What?

You told her you did not know
what was inside the statue.

- I wasn't lying.
- Then what is the wrong idea?

What?

When I showed you
the broken pieces of plaster,

you said you did not want her
to get the wrong idea.

What is the wrong idea?

I don't have to tell you anything.

You come traipsing across the island
and suddenly now you're in charge?

You want me to take you to your plane?

Start treating me with respect.

I'm not just some guy you can just tr...

What?

What?

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

Sir, if you buy a statue,

the money will buy polio vaccine
for the village.

300 naira, sir.

What are you doing here?

I have come to give my confession.

Hello, Eko.

Hello, Brother.

I visit you
for the first time in three years

and you won't hear my confession?

Monsignor would have said he'd failed
to raise a proper Catholic boy.

Why waste your time confessing?
It won't help you.

- It won't?
- No.

For confession to mean something,
you must have a penitent heart.

You and your guilt, Yemi.

I've only done what I needed to do
to survive. How is that a sin?

You may live far from here,

but I have heard of who you are
and what you have done.

Have you forgotten how you got
that cross, the day they took me?

Is what I did that day a sin?

Or is it forgiven,
because it is you that was saved?

Why are you here, Eko?

I've come to help you.

I have some merchandise
that I need to get out of the country.

I would like one of your church
relief flights to transport it.

Merchandise. You mean drugs.

It is not my normal business.

We are moving the drugs out of Nigeria

so that they cannot be used
by our people.

And you will have all the money
to buy your vaccine.

God has given us this opportunity.
We should not turn our back on it.

God did not bring you here, Eko.

Your own greed did.

I will always love you,

but I will not help you.

It was good to see you again, Brother.

Little close to the ear.
Sure you know what you're doing?

Would you please turn your head?

You ain't got a clean enough shot
at my neck?

I can cut my own damn hair.

You don't have to be belligerent
just for belligerence's sake.

Everyone loves you now.

- Bull pucky.
- Yo, Sawyer.

Glad you're back, man.

Yo yourself, Pillsbury.

You see?

Kate, Locke said
you're on hatch duty later.

I was wondering...
You mind if I go instead?

- You want my shift?
- Help me take my mind off things.

- Sure, it's all yours.
- Thanks. Appreciate it.

Glad you're OK, man.

Yeah.

Don't even say it.

All right. Time to take a break.

Just had a break.

I'm not what you think I am.

What do I think you are?

- It was my brother's fault.
- Sorry?

It was his fault I became an addict.

He started with the heroin.
I tried to make him stop.

You don't know me, man.
I was a good person.

I was an altar boy.

I knew what was in that statue.
It doesn't mean I needed it.

So don't judge me, man. Don't... Just...

What?

What's that?

It's a parachute.

Is that a priest?

What're you doing?

Do you know that guy?

Yes.

This man saved my life.

Saved your life, huh?
Sure, that makes sense.

He takes off in a plane in Nigeria.
We're in the South Pacific.

That makes all the sense in the world.

This is scripture written here.

You're a priest, right?

He's a priest
and you're a priest, too, right?

I need to talk to you.

- I'm in the middle of a confession.
- It cannot wait.

God bless you.

God be with you all.
Please, come back in the morning.

It's OK.

How dare you disrupt my work?

Have you reconsidered my request?

Flying drugs
under the cover of the Church?

How could I ever reconsider?
Don't touch those.

I am going to make this easy for you.

You will make us priests
and we will fly the drugs out.

- Make you priests?
- Sign these ordination documents.

I will give you the money
for the vaccines.

Leave this church now. Go. Now.

Yemi, I understand
that you live in a world

where righteousness and evil
seem very far apart,

but that is not the real world.

I am your brother,
I would never do anything to hurt you,

but my friends,
if you do not do what I ask,

they will burn this church
to the ground.

Is that worth less than the price
of your name on a piece of paper?

Think of the lives you will save.

My signature does not make you a priest.

You could never be a priest.

How many of the Virgin Mary statues
do you have left?

- I've 300.
- I will take all of them.

I guess we are both sinners now.

Perhaps we are,

but God will forgive me.

I'm lost.

It was dark. I was following Sayid.

A big bag of rocks fell on my head.

I'm sorry if I'm a bit spotty
with the geography.

- Climb that tree.
- What?

Perhaps you will get your bearings
or see the plane.

You climb it.

What if I don't? You going to beat me
with your Jesus stick?

I find it odd that your scripture stick
has dried blood on it.

Are you going to climb that tree or not?

What kind of priest are you, anyway?

You need to get higher.

Wonderful. Thank you.

Run.

- Did you see it?
- What the bloody hell did you do?

I did nothing.

When most people see a creature
made of swirling black smoke, they run.

- I was not afraid of it.
- That thing kills people.

- Did you see the plane?
- It's about a kilometer that way.

Thank you.

Wait.

Come on.

Come on.

Where are you?

Hey, Michael.

- Hey.
- How you doing?

I'm good, thanks.

You down here alone?

Yeah. Hurley's supposed to be here.

But I guess he's running late.

Listen...

No one's forgotten about Walt.

- What?
- I can't...

I don't have any idea
what you must be going through.

I just want you to know
that as soon as we can,

we're gonna figure out a way
to go out and bring him back.

Yeah.

Thanks, man. Thanks.

- You OK?
- I'm fine.

I'll leave you to it, then.

Thanks.

Eko.

- What are you doing here?
- I came to stop you.

- Go to your church.
- Do not get on that plane.

- I'm here to save your life.
- Save my life?

- If you get on, if you do this...
- If I do what?

- Are you a prophet now?
- Please, let me take your confession.

Anything I can do, I will do.
But please, don't go.

He told the military.

- You did this?
- I did not tell them who was involved.

Just leave the drugs
and come back with me.

Stop. No more.

Yemi.

No.

Help me get him in.

Forgive me.

Father?

Are you OK, Father?

Eko?

Who's that?

He's my brother.

I'm sorry.

For the one I broke.

So, are you a priest or aren't you?

Yes.

I am.

The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures.

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through
the shadow of the valley of death,

I fear no evil, for thou art with me.

Thy rod, thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me

in the presence of mine enemies,

thou annointest my head with oil,

my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me,

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever.

Amen.

Claire?

You lied to me, Charlie.

I know I did. I'm sorry.

It just made me feel safer
to have it around.

- I can't have you around my baby.
- Claire, I...

I don't want you
sleeping anywhere near us.

Just go.
