Lost (2004–2010): Season 4, Episode 3 - The Economist - full transcript

Previously on "Lost"...

You killed Naomi!

She wants her people to come here.

And trust me, when they do, we
had better be far away from here.

If you want to live, you
need to come with me.

Who are you?

Daniel Faraday.

I'm here to rescue you.

So this is the team?

These are the wrong people
for a mission like this.

None of them have field
experience, military training.



You can't just drop
them in unprotected.

There's only so much I can do.

Where's the chopper?
Where did it crash?

Crash? What kind
of pilot you think I am?

I put her down safe and
sound right over there.

Get up. You're coming with us.

Well, we need to stay where we
are so that they can find us.

See, there's your problem.

We don't want to be found.

You wanted to know why we're
here? I'll tell you why we're here.

We're here for Benjamin Linus.

Now where is he?

Did Ben ever mention anything
about knowing anyone off the island?

- You're sure of that?
- No.



Look, this is real simple.

Do you know where he is or don't you?

What do you want with him?

I wanna locate him.

The people who hired me told
me his name's Benjamin Linus.

They gave me this picture, and
that's all they told me.

They said, "find him. "

And for what they're paying me, I don't
need to know anything else. Do you?

You want Ben?

Okay, he's with Locke and your friend...

- Charlotte.
- Charlotte.

Locke's got her, too, and
we know where he's heading.

Locke's the guy that killed Naomi?

Give me back my gun, Shephard.

You want your gun back.

I want answers.

You don't trust me.

I'll always be with you. R.G.

In fact, you're supposed to be dead.

But am I asking a billion questions? No.

We both have the same
problem- this Locke guy.

Even if Locke has your friend, you
can't just waltz in there and grab her.

They're armed.

Well, how about that? So are we.

- So why don't we move out and-
- you're not going anywhere.

Will that helicopter fly?

It's what she does.

Then you can take me to your ship.

Sayid, wait a second.

We did call these people to get
us off this island, didn't we?

Well?

I burned a lot of fuel cong
in. I can't carry much weight.

I'll take three of ya.

In case you zoned out while
you were tweezing your goatee,

one of these yahoos
took Charlotte prisoner.

I can bring her back safely.

And if I do...

Will you take me to the ship?

Absolutely.

You bring Charlotte back safe,

and I will take you off this island.

Good morning.

It's a long walk to the next hole.

Do you need a ride?

Thank you, but no.
My ball is right here.

You know, you are the first person
I have seen out here all morning.

I believe we're paying quite a
premium for that kind of privacy.

Indeed we are.

Is this your first
time in the seychelles?

I'd use the 5-iron.

I think I'll stick with the 7.

Tell you what.

50 Euros says mine goes
closer to the pin with a 5.

Let's make it 100.

Eccellente.

Amazing, huh, how a wager makes
just about anything more fun?

Not bad.

So...

What do you do for a living, my friend?

I do nothing.

"Nothing" doesn't pay
for a vacation here.

I was the recipient
of a large settlement.

Corporate merger?

Actually, a plane crash.

Oceanic airlines
flight 8-1-5.

I'm Sayid Jarrah.

One of the oceanic six.

Ah, that's...

That's-that's
amazing.

I remember reading all about it.

Take your shot, my friend.

It appears you were
right about the 5-iron.

Well, uh...

Enjoy your round, and, uh, don't
worry about the wager.

All in good fun.

No, you won. Low me to pay you.

It's fine, thank you. It's...

I insist, mr. Avellino.

Is this seat free?

Where would you like to go?

"Is it free?" Was the
full extent of my german.

What are you looking for?

I love europe. Everyone speaks english.

I'm looking for potsdamer platz.

Well, you don't need aap.

It's one block down, right
across the street.

Thank you.

I'm Elsa.

Sayid.

Could I have an espresso, please?

What sort of business
brings you to Berlin?

I'm a headhunter.

A corporate recruiter.

And what do you do?

My employer an economist.

He works in emerging markets.

Actually, I-I don't really
understand what he does,

which doesn't matter since
all I do is shop for him.

And if this goes off, I'm
at his side instantly,

which is wonderful since he's only
in Berlin once or twice a year.

Which is why you're enjoying
a luxuriously long miay coffee.

Yes.

Thank you.

Do I...

Know you from somewhere?

I'll tell you exactly
where you know me from...

If you let me take you to dinner.

This is the restaurant
you're taking me to tonight.

8:00.

Well... If you can find it.

Hello?

- I made contact.
- Good.

Take a look at this.

Naomi had it with her.

She was looking for Desmond.

Whatever their real agenda is, it's
clear they're not sharing it.

Maybe Desmond can shed
some light on this.

How long would it take to
get to the beach and back?

Couple of hours.

You mind?

Anything I can do to help.

Sad.

So how we gonna do this?

You're not the best candidate
for this kind of mission.

Well, and what kind of mission is that?

I'm going to make
Locke release Charlotte,

and I'm going to do it
without any bloodshed.

As opposed to the way I'd do it?

The last time you encountered him,

you put a gun to his head
and pulled the trigger.

That's not good diplomacy.

Jarrah.

You think you're going
after Charlotte without me?

Of course not.

Well... Well, good.

Is there anything else?

Yeah. Givee my gun back.

We leave in ten minutes.

Ready to give us a name, gizmo?

He's not gonna tell you who
his spy is on their boat, James.

Yeah? Why not?

Because that's the only thing
that's keeping him alive.

Well, here's an idea.

Why don't we take a gun,
point it to his big toe

and send that little piggy to market?

And if he still doesn't want to tell
us, we'll move on to the roast beef.

Now why don't we do that?

Because then we'd have to carry him.

Hey, John, how much further is it?

I- I need to feed aaron.

It should be here... The cabin.

Maybe we got turned around.

It could be anywhere.

No, it was here.

Well, what's in this cabin
that's so important anyway?

John's looking for somebody
to tell him what to do next.

I guess I was mistaken. It doesn't...

Doesn't matter.

Plan's the same. We keep moving.

The barracks aren't far.

If her team is with Jack's group, they
know we're going to the barracks.

Yeah, and red here was wearing a vest.

Which means her posse's gonna come
expecting themselves a gunfight.

If all they want is her, maybe
we should just let hero.

I mean, I thought we
were just gonna go hide.

Why do we need to take prisoners?

We're keeping her because
she's gonna be valuable.

How is she gonna be valuable?

He means as a hostage, luv.

No, this is notwhat I signed up for.

What did you sign up for Hugo?

Look, I'm just
saying I think we-

if we let her go, they'll look
at it as a sign of good faith.

They'll look at it as an act of
foolishness, which is what it would be.

I'm just trying to come up
with some sort of comprose-

we're beyond compromise.

And right now, Hugo, I'm
making the decision.

Is that gonna be a problem for you?

Kinda sucks, huh?

What's that?

Being told not to come along.

Now you know what it
feels like to be me.

Does that mean I should wait
20 minutes and ago anyway?

Touché.

You should go with them, Kate.

- You're serious?
- Yeah.

What, don't you trust Sayid?

I don't trust Locke.

So what's preventing him from
doing to me what he did to Naomi?

Sawyer won't let him.

Got room for one more?

Oh, yeah, she gets a gun.

The gun's a last resort, Kate

you give Locke that same speech?

Let move out.

This guy Sayid-
where's he from?

Iraq.

Iraq?

So he's just gonna go
and work everything out?

What was he, a diplomat?

No.

No, he was a torturer.

Naomi- were
you close to her?

Nope.

Met her on the boat.

You don't seem particularly
affected by her death.

Sure I'm affected.

She was hot, and I dug her accent.

Nice.

And this
woman-Charlotte.

You don't really care about her, do you?

Define "care "

so much for camaraderie.

Ah, gee, who's the one going after
one of their crash buddies with guns?

Actually, I do care about Locke.

Maybe you can tell me how he managed to
split your happy little family in half.

There was a fundamental
debate as to whether

your people were coming
to rescue us or kill us.

And which side did you land on?

I'll let you know when I decide.

You look fantastic.

This is why I wanted to
take you to the opera.

If a man can't wear his tuxedo
by the fifth date, why bother?

You know what?

I'm not bringing it.

If tonight's the night
he calls, so be it.

I'll carry it.

If he does call, I don't
want you fired over me.

You should tell your employer
that there is newer technology.

Well, I have tried.

He's very old-fashioned.

You know how bosses can be.

Do you have a boss?

Everyone has a boss, Elsa.

Come on. We don't want to be late.

Why are you still here?

I mean, when we met, you said you
would only be in Berlin for one week.

The job I'm on is proving harder
to accomplish than I thought.

Right.

I was hoping it was because of me.

Let's go.

Strauss await's.

What's his story?

Daniel?

Ah, couldn't tell you.

Half the stuff he says
is way over my head.

The other half goes way, way over.

Hey, uh, Frank?

Can
I, uh- ooh.

Sorry to interrupt.

- May I please use the phone just for a second?
- For what?

I just wanna call regina on the boat,

'cause I figure since we're waiting,

maybe I could
just, you know, try to-

what is it, Daniel?

I'd just like to do an experiment.

- Just-just
a- - okay.

You just keep it to at
science stuff, all right?

Yeah.

If Minkowski gets on
there, you hang up right away.

Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.

Hello?

Regina? Hey-hi, it's
Dan. Hang on.

Can you hear me?

Yeah.

Yeah? Okay. Hang on.

I'm, uh, all... Yes.

I am all set here. I have a fix.

Are you locked in?

Getting your signal pretty clear.

Okay, great. Then... Okay.

Fire the pload.

Payload away!

Don't sweat it. He does this kind
of stuff on the boat all the time.

40 Kilometers to beacon.

35 Kilometers to beacon.

30 Kilometers to beacon.

25 Kilometers to beacon.

20 Kilometers to beacon.

15 Kilometers to beacon.

10 Kilometers to beacon.

- Regina?
- 5 Kilometers to beacon.

I don't have it.

That's... Weird.

That is far more than weird.

What's with the swing set?
These people have day care?

You think they're here yet?

Let's find out.

It'soming from in there.

Hurley, what happened?

They left me.

Locke's gone off the reservation, man.

I mean, he took this one chick hostage,

he said walt was the one who
told him to kill this other chick,

- and-and-and
he- - walt?

Dude, don't ask.

I was, like, just trying to argue
with him so he would just, like,

you
know, chill, but, uh-

how about you stop babbling, just
tell us what happened to them?

Where are they?

Who are you?

Where the hell did they go, tubby?

Oh, awesome.

The ship sent us another Sawyer.

Hurley, where did they go?

Look, I guess they were too busy
tying me up to tell me. I don't know.

And so they all left, all together?

Yeah, they were freaked.

Locke said that the peop on the ship were
here to rescue Charlotte and then kill us.

So... Are you?

Not yet.

Did they say anything that
suggested where they were going next?

Uh, Locke said they were gonna go
by Ben's house before they took off.

Why would he go there?

For all I know, they could've
Locked Ben up in the closet, too.

Where's Ben's house?

Mind if I ask you a question?

Shoot.

The red sox really win the series?

Hey, don't get me started
on that, all right?

My dad's from the Bronx.
I bleed yankee blue.

I can't believe it's been a
hundred days since I have seen a game.

It's the payload!

It's finally here.

What is that?

It's a rocket.

Oh, no.

31 Minutes.

Oh, no.

This is not good.

Your friends are back.

Well...

Look at that.

Look for anything that might
show where they've gone.

I'll start in here.

Sayid!

Don't worry. Kate's fine.

Good job, Hugo.

Sorry, dude.

I'm sorry, Sayid.

Nothing personal.

Where's Locke?

He's talking to that angry chinese guy.

I'm not going to hurt you, Hurley.

I saw you snap that guy's neck with that
break-dancing thing you do with your legs.

I think I'll hang back here.

Well...

I guess they're running
out of jail space.

I lost a dollar, you know.

How'd you manage that?

I bet John that you wouldn't be stupid
enough to fall for your friend as bait.

What do you know about friendship?

I know it's no use having
friends you can't trust.

So, what, I'm your prisoner?

If that sorta thing turns you on.

What are you doing here with Locke?

I'm not with him.

Yeah, you are, James.

Then what are you doing with Jack?

I went with Jack because I believe
he can get us off this island.

Then I guess that's the
difference between us.

I ain't lookin' to leave.

Why not?

'Cause I ain't got
nothin' back there for me.

And what's here that's so much better?

Why do you wanna go back, Kate?

Seem to recall you being shuttled
off to jail before we landed here.

So if you think there's anything waitin'
for you back home other than handcuffs,

then you really don'know
how the world works.

I mean, look around us, freckles.

We got roofs over our heads...

Electricity, showers, beds.

How long, Sawyer?

How long do you think we can play house?

Why don't we find out?

Iced tea.

I thought you might be thirsty.

I'm thirsty.

I'm sorry about all
the theatrics, but, uh,

I didn't know how many of you there
would be or whether you'd be armed.

I had to... Cor my bases.

What have you done with Miles and Kate?

Kate's with Sawyer, and
Miles is somewhere else.

He's fine.

All I did was ask him some questions.

- Did he answer any?
- No.

Did you have more luck
with the woman you captured?

Not particularly.

Then why don't you turn her over to me?

And why would I do that?

I agree that these people are liars, and
they're certainly not here to rescue us.

But if I return safely with Charlotte,
they'll take me to their ship.

It's our best chance at finding out
who they are and what they really want.

Well, then, I can save you
a lot of trouble, Sayid,

because Ben says he's
got a spy on the boat.

Who?

It's a secret.

Forgive me, but the day I start trusting
him is the day I would have sold my soul.

Give me Charlotte, allow
me to do things my way,

or a war is coming which we
will both be powerless to stop.

Why would I give you
Charlotte for nothing?

Oh, I think you misunderstood me.

I never expected you to
give her to me for nothing.

- Should we get dressed?
- No.

Well, we're gonna have to get out
of this bed at a certain point.

Why?

Well, for one thing, because I know that eventually
you're gonna have to go to that job of yours-

you know, the one that
you never talk about.

There's nothing to talk
about. It's just a job.

I know nothing about you.

I understand you don't want to talk
about the crash, what happened to you.

But what about life now?

What about you?

That's what you do when
you're in love, right?

In love?

Yeah.

Okay.

No more secrets.

What do you want to know?

He's here... My boss.

I, um...

I have to go.

Now?

Where?

Hotel Adlon.

Where's my dress?

Elsa?

You have to leave Berlin.

What?

You can't be here anymore.

What do you
mean?Why would i-

people will be asking questions soon
about what happened to your employer.

And you can't be around to answer them.

My employer?

This... This is about my boss?

Who are you?

- It has nothing to
do with how- - the caf?

You meant to meet me there?

You used me to get to my boss?

What did you say-people
will ask what happened to him?

It's best you don't know.

You're gonna kill him?

You're gonna kill him?

Do you even know him?

His name is on a list.

A list? What list?

You-you
have a list?

It's my employer's.

Who that?

It doesn't matter who he is!

So you just kill people 'cause your list?

Innocent people?

The man you are working
for is not an economist.

What do you
think you're-

Hey, I'm going to ask you
one more time...

Why was Naomi carrying
this picture of me?

Look, man, you gotta understand somethin'.

She was senior management.

It's not like we hung around
the cafeteria together.

She stayed
on her own-

look, Naomi told me
you people were hired by her.

So you look me right in the eye and tell me
u've never seen or heard of penelope widmore.

Fine.

You don't want to tell me the truth?

I'll find someone who will.

See, when that takes off, I'm on it.

He's back.

Where's Kate?

She decided to stay.

What happened to Miles?

I traded him.

Traded him?

I promised you Charlotte. Here she is.

You cheated.

Did I?

Yes, you did.

Lucky for you, that guy's
nothing but a pain in my ass.

- You all right?
- All right, that giveus room for one more.

Charlotte?

Go back, with all the
fun I'm having here?

No.

I've got work to do.

Seat's yours if you want it, Daniel.

I- no, thank
you.

I think I should probably
just stay with Charlotte.

All rit.

Frank. Frank?

Just-just...
Just one thing.

Just be sure that you follow the same
exact bearing that we came in on, okay?

No matter what.

By that, I mean no matter what. Just...

Just stay on it.

Roger that.

Be careful.

I don't have to talk you out of coming.

As much as I like helicopter rides, I
think you got this one under control.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Send me a postcard.

You said we have room for one more?

Yeah. Why?

You should bring Naomi home.

Take your shirt off.

Is she dead?

Yes.

Why didn't she kill you?

She was trying to get
information from me.

What sort of information?

She wanted to know who I worked for.

She wanted to know about you.

Of course she did.

Why are you crying?

Because it hurts, or because you
were stupid enough to care for her?

These people don't
deserve our sympathies.

Need I remind you what they
did the last time you thought

with your heart instead of your gun?

You used that to recruit
me to killing for you.

You wanna protect your
friends or not, Sayid?

I have another name for you.

But they know I'm after them now.

Good.
