Lost (2004–2010): Season 3, Episode 12 - Par Avion - full transcript

Previously on Lost:

I don't care what Jack said.

They've got him and we have to
get him back. I owe him that.

The man, you said you'd seen him?

On a video feed from the Pearl Station.

Why are we continuing
to play this game

when we all know it has
moved to the next stage?

This is a map showing
electrical and data cabling

comprised of houses and dormitories.
Sounds like a place worth visiting.

When I saw the lightning hit the roof,
you were electrocuted.

When you heard Claire,
you drowned trying to save her.



I dove in so you never went in!

I've tried, brother, to save you,
but no matter what I try to do,

you're going to die, Charlie.

Mum?

Mum! Mum! Mum!

Oh, look, Aaron, your mom
has finally decided to wake up.

Only way I could get you to sleep in
was to borrow the midget.

And what is all this?

An aperitif of
Mysterious Island fruit

before the breakfast picnic
I have set up in your honour...

...a short walk down the beach.

- What's gotten into you, Charlie?
- Sorry?

It's just, you've been
so depressed all week, and...

...now it's breakfast in bed
and picnics?



I woke up and I thought,

it's time to stop feeling
sorry for yourself and seize the day.

I can't think of anyone I would rather
do some day-seizing with than you.

So, what do you say?

Let's drop the cherub off
with Auntie Sun and Uncle Jin

and you and I go for a little stroll.

I would love to.

From the position of this stream,
we should be here.

If the scale is right,

his people are two miles
in that direction.

I don't expect you to confirm that.

That's an electrical wiring map, Sayid.

I'm not sure it's accurate.

Well, certainly not as infallible
as the magical carvings on your stick.

The stick did get us to that station.

The station which you
accidentally blew up?

If you warned me the basement was rigged
with C-4, I might've been more careful.

Why don't you just tell us
if we're going the right way?

You're going the right way.

- Remind me why we're keeping him alive?
- What, we shoot him like a dog?

- No. I like dogs.
- He's right.

They will not trade
his life for your friend's.

- We should shoot him.
- Enough. Nobody's shooting anybody.

The map says where they are,
he says the map is right.

So just keep moving.

OK. Here we are. Here we are.

- Not bad?
- Not bad at all.

All right, if you'll take your seat,

we will begin with
our first course,

which is cereal. Then
we have a fresh fruit salad...

- Good morning.
- ...and...

Good morning, yourself.

- What brings you down the beach?
- Boar are thick.

I was hoping you might
wanna join me in a hunt.

Oh, well, thanks for the invite,

but as you can see,
we're just about to begin a picnic.

Well, I think hunting might be a...

...a better way
to spend your day, Charlie.

Of all the things you could
choose to do today,

hunting with me
might be your best option.

Oh, my God.

- What is it?
- I know how to get us off this island.

- Sun! Jin!
- Claire? What's the matter?

I need Jin's nets and fish.

Hurry, and buckets.
I need those too.

- We have to catch the birds.
- What birds?

They flew over, they'll only be
here today, so we need to catch it now.

Oh, this sounds like fun!

- Can you get some nets?
- Nets for what, Barb...

Nets for what, "Claire"?

OK, five minutes ago, a flock
of sea birds flew over my head.

Sea birds are migratory,
they're gonna keep heading south.

- I don't understand why we need to...
- They're tagged!

"Tagged?"

Scientists tag birds
so they can track them.

So when they eventually land in
Australia or New Zealand or wherever,

somebody's gonna gather them up.

- We can send a message.
- If we can catch one.

OK, so here's the plan.

First we cut up fish, make chum,
that will get the birds in the water.

And then we're gonna need
to cut up some of this net.

Charlie, can you go
get some knives?

Charlie?

- Charlie!
- Yeah.

How do you even know
this stuff about birds, Claire?

I watched a lot of
nature shows with my mum.

Doesn't exactly make you an expert.

I don't want to see you
wasting your time, that's all.

What happened to "seizing the day"?

I'm sorry.

I don't see the point.

Hold still, dear,
just another second.

There. We're through now.

Ms. Littleton, I'm Officer Barnes.

Sorry to bother you, but
I need to ask you a few questions.

Can I ask you
how the accident happened?

A truck forced us off the road.

OK. And who was driving?

Me.

- Has anyone contacted your father?
- He died when I was two.

Sorry to hear that.

I spoke with the truck driver.
He's fine, by the way.

- He said that when you hit him...
- No, he hit us.

About what speed
would you say that happened?

It came out of nowhere.

- I didn't...
- That's not the question I asked.

I don't know how fast I was driving.

Why are you even
asking me these questions?

These questions are standard procedure
when there's a fatality.

My mother is in surgery.

- She's not dead!
- Right.

- So she is.
- This is not my fault!

Didn't say it was.

G'day, Ms. Littleton.

Can I ask you something?

I told you that your daughter
was living with them...

...and you haven't asked me a single
question about her. You haven't...

Your friend, Jack...

...you care about him?

Yes.

Imagine 16 years from now,

you're told he was still alive,
but in your heart

you know that he wouldn't remember you,
he wouldn't know you.

He wouldn't even know
that you ever cared about him.

I haven't asked you questions
about my daughter...

...because I do not
want to know the answers.

- Water?
- No, thank you.

So how did you get here?
How'd you get onto this island?

Don't waste your breath.
Whatever he says will be a lie.

I was recruited when I was 24.

- I was approached...
- I didn't ask when. I asked how.

They brought me on the submarine.

So your people can come and go
whenever they want?

Go, yes.

But two weeks ago, our underwater beacon
stopped emitting its locator signal.

There was an event,
an electromagnetic pulse.

- Impossible to come back.
- Why would you want to come back?

You would not understand.

Try me.

I misspoke.

What I meant to say is,

- you are not capable of understanding.
- And why not?

- Kate...
- Because you are not on the list.

What list?

The man who brought me here,
who brought all of my people here,

he is a magnificent man.

If Ben's so magnificent, then why
did he need one of us to save him?

Ben? Ben is not...

I will try to make this
as simple as I can.

You are not on the list
because you are flawed.

Because you are angry.

And weak. And frightened.

The more I learn about you, the more
I suspect you are not as omniscient

as you'd have us believe.

Don't speak to us as if you know us.

Of course I don't know you,
Sayid Jarrah. How could I?

And you, Kate Austen,
are a complete stranger to me.

But you, John Locke,

you I might have a fleeting memory of.

But I must be confused because
the John Locke I know was para...

Hey!

Look at this.

Over here. Come on.

Well. Looks like we're here.

- Will this work?
- Yes. Work.

Sun... Please help.

OK.

- Smells great.
- Let's get it over with.

- This was my mother's worst fear.
- What do you mean?

That I would end up doing something
very much like this, cutting bait.

She had high hopes for my future.

They did not include
marrying a fisherman's son.

Well, I guess we don't always
turn out like our mothers want.

Of course, mine never
worked a day in her life.

My mom was a librarian.

"Was?"

We should get this stuff out there.

Where were you?

I went home to take a shower.

- That must've been nice.
- They said she was still in surgery.

I had glass in my hair, Aunt Lindsey.

Well, I'm glad that
you're feeling refreshed.

Good afternoon.
Are you the daughter?

I'm Dr. Woodruff from neurosurgery.
I'll be observing your mother.

How is she?

We've managed to stabilize
her immediate injuries, but...

...your mother's suffered
a severe head trauma.

We have to wait for
the swelling to go down

before we determine
the full extent of her injuries.

But... I'm afraid we're looking at
fairly widespread damage.

What does that mean?

It means that right now,
these machines are sustaining her life.

But, I mean, it won't always be...
When she wakes up, she won't need...

I can't say with any real confidence...

...that she will wake up.

- Can she hear us?
- I like to think she can.

How long will she be like this?

Could be a day, a week, or years.

We'll just have to wait and see.

But she'll be well looked after.

Oh, that's very nice,

- but we can't pay for that.
- Don't worry.

Her expenses have
already been taken care of.

By whom?

I've been asked to
keep that confidential.

One...two...

Oh, no!

Look, I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, man!

- What is wrong with you?
- I was shooting at a boar!

- I had no idea you were out here.
- Where's Charlie? Is he with you?

He's at camp. I'm sorry.

- So it was just you?
- Aye, it's just me.

Hunting in the exact same spot
as we're setting our trap?

I was following a boar, Claire.

Oh! So it's just coincidence, then.

Where is it?

It got away.

You don't want me to catch
the birds, do you?

You and Charlie.
What's going on?

Why wouldn't I want you
to catch the birds?

What is it?

Don't touch it!
Don't even go near it.

What are these pylons?

What do you think they are?

A security perimeter.

Those sensors on the side
would be triggered

if anyone passed between them.

It's an alarm system or a trap.

Either way, we will be safer
going around it.

You're right, it was
a security perimeter.

But like everything on this island,
it hasn't functioned in years.

Of course it hasn't.

If you wish to waste your time,
be my guest.

The pylons encircle the entire barracks.

There is no going around them.

If you don't believe me,
look at your map.

He appears to be telling the truth.

John! John!

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

Sorry.

He suffered a cerebral haemorrhage.

Why did you do that?
We needed him!

- They'd never trade him.
- You don't know that!

You don't know it either. What we know
was that he shot one of his own people

who didn't want to be in this situation.
I'm gonna stick with my opinion.

- We could've discussed it.
- Nobody asked me when we brought him.

All right.

Pardon me for not knowing
that they had

a "sonic weapon fence."

I didn't know he was going to die.
How would I know that?

Why are you really here?

Are you here for Jack?

Why else would I be here?

We'll talk about this later.

Fine by me. Just tell me
how we're going go through this.

We're not going to go through it.
We're going over it.

- Sayid, where's the axe?
- In his pack.

No, wait a minute,
I got it. Here, I got it.

I thought you didn't know
there was any C-4.

Well, I stand corrected.

Why did you take it?

You never know when
a little C-4 might come in handy.

You'll have to do
better than that.

OK, there you go.

What's going on with you, Charlie?

- I just put Aaron down.
- No!

- You and Desmond, what's going on?
- What are you talking about?

You don't know anything about Desmond
shooting his gun and scaring the birds?

- I've been with Aaron all morning.
- You're lying, Charlie.

I am not lying.

What happened to the guy this morning,

who wanted to have a picnic
and "seize the day?"

You really want to know the truth?

That glint you saw could be anything,

a piece of glass stuck in the bird's
foot, or it could be nothing at all.

I don't want to advocate
false hope, Claire. That's all.

Well, I'm sorry I bothered you
with my stupid ideas.

It won't happen again.

And Charlie, I don't want
my baby around liars.

- I think you might be overreacting.
- Overreacting?

No, I thought you were here for me,
that I could count on you.

- I was wrong.
- No. Claire!

No, I'm on my own!
And at least I know that now.

- Claire!
- Just go!

Morning, dear.
Oh, I like your new doctor.

- What new doctor?
- Oh, the American.

He's in with your mum now.

Excuse me...

The nurse said...

Are you a doctor?

Yes.

I'm very sorry,

I shouldn't be disturbing you.
I was just leaving.

What are you doing here?

- I was just on my way out.
- If Carole knew you were here...

She'd what? What would she do?

- She wouldn't act the way you are.
- Aunt Lindsey...

...what's going on here,
who is he?

It doesn't matter. Just go.

Maybe you should tell her, Lindsey.
She deserves to know.

- Please, just leave us alone.
- You are not the arbiter here.

- Claire has every right to know...
- You're taking advantage of her!

Just stop it!

You are the one paying the bills?

Are you the one
taking care of all this?

Yes.

Then who are you?

I'm your father, Claire.

The system appears
to fire a sonic pulse

when an object breaks the plane
between two pylons.

So, as long as we
don't break the plane,

we should remain unharmed.

Why not use the explosive you took?

Be my guest.
You wanna go stick it on?

Whoever climbs over,
give those sensors a wide berth.

I'll go first.

Give me a hand.

I guess I'll go next.

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

- You have every right to be upset.
- It just doesn't make any sense.

Desmond's never gone boar hunting and
the boar never come close to the beach.

Well, whatever is going on,
they're still talking about it.

- Can you watch him?
- What are you going to do?

Get some answers.

I'll be with you in a sec.

There you go.

That'll be ten bucks.

What are you doing here?

Buy you a cup of coffee?

- I have nothing to say to you.
- Claire, I'm leaving tonight.

Then I'll be out of your life forever.
Just... one cup of coffee.

So, it's true?

Yes. It's true.

How did you find out
about the accident?

A doctor friend in Sydney told me.

I got the call... the minute
your mother went into surgery.

Why did she tell me
that you were dead?

Well, because I, no doubt, left her
with so many wonderful memories.

Look, we had a fling.

I was back in Los Angeles when
she told me that she was pregnant,

that she was going to have
the baby... you.

And you didn't...
you didn't want to see me?

No, I came out a bunch of times
when you were little.

I stayed over, gave you toys.

I... sang to you.

Why'd you stop coming?

Because your aunt hates me.

And your mother didn't like the fact
that I had another family.

Why are you here now, then?
Why did you come?

Could've paid her bills
from the States...

I came over because I wanted to help.

Help with what?

Claire... your mother is alive...

...but she's not really living.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- It means

that now may be the time
to look at other alternatives,

other ways to relieve her pain.

Now, it is illegal
to turn off her machines,

but I know of ways that
can achieve the same effect

- without the legal consequences.
- Just stop it!

You didn't come here to help me.

- You came to fix a mistake you made.
- No, honey, that's not true...

You think just paying her bills
makes you noble or something?

You come down here
and you try and get me to kill her?

You know, just go.

Why don't you just go?
Go back to your "real" family.

You know...

...you might be my father...

...but I don't even know your name.

And I want it to stay that way.

Claire! Claire, listen to me!
Listen to me!

Do not keep your mother alive
for the wrong reasons.

Now, there is hope and there is guilt.

And believe me, I know the difference.

Good-bye, kiddo.

It was great seeing you again.

What the hell are you doing?

You followed me?

Stay back!

- It's one of the birds.
- Stay back!

How did you know
it was going to be here?

- I didn't.
- Yes, you did.

You had to. That's what you
and Charlie were arguing about.

You knew.

- How would I?
- I don't know.

You walked straight here,

no doubt at all
about where you were going.

You came right to this beach
and right to this rock.

And Io and behold, there's the bird!

What the hell is going on, Desmond?

See that spot over there?

That's where Charlie
slipped and fell in.

He got pounded again and again
by the rocks and...

...broke his neck.

What?

What are you talking about?

That's where Charlie died.

Look what Desmond found.

How about that?

It does have a tag.

You were right.

Desmond told me everything.

About all his visions...

...that he knew you were
going to get hit by lightning...

...that you were going to drown
trying to rescue me in the ocean.

How you died
trying to get me this bird.

You don't believe all that, do you?

Now, who turned the telly off?

Don't they know how much
you love your nature shows?

That's better.

So, how are you today, Mum?

Did you have an OK night?

There's...

...something I have to tell you.

Something I should've told you
a long time ago.

I'm pregnant.

I'm giving it away.

It's for... It's for the best.

I wish...

I don't know how you did it...

...raising me alone.

It must've been so hard.

And I was just... awful.

Awful.

So horrible to you.

I'm so sorry, Mum.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry for all the awful things
I said to you in the car.

That...

...that I hated you.

And that... I wished
you weren't my mother,

and... I wished you were dead.

It's all my fault.

The accident...

...and everything.

I'm so sorry, Mum.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'll see you soon, OK?

"To whom it may concern,

We are survivors of Oceanic Flight 815.

We have survived on this island
for 8O days.

Six hours into the flight,
the pilot said we were off course

and turned back towards Fiji.

We hit turbulence and crashed.

We've been waiting here
all this time,

waiting for rescue that has not come.

We do not know where we are,
we only know you have not found us.

We've done our best
to live on this island.

Some of us have come to accept
we may never leave it.

Not all of us have survived
since the crash.

But there is new life, too.

And with it, there is hope.

We are alive.

Please don't give up on us."

It's...

It's perfect, Claire.

I'm not giving up
on you either, Charlie.

It's going to be OK.

You're going to be OK.

We'll get through this together.

What?

We're here.

Jack...
