Lost (2004–2010): Season 5, Episode 11 - Whatever Happened, Happened - full transcript

Previously on Lost:

This is your daughter.
Her name's Clementine.

- Those are fake.
- I'll take the one on the end.

- Why'd you help me?
- One girl watching another girl's back.

- Why are you telling me this?
- Just do it, Freckles.

- I think we should say he's mine.
- There's other ways to do this.

After everyone we've lost...
I can't lose him, too.

My client insists we handle
the exchange of custody quietly.

You are going to lose the boy.

That's Claire's mother.

Everything Kate and I have done,
it was for Aaron.



Who's Aaron?

- I'm Ben.
- It's nice to meet you, Ben.

If I let you out,
will you take me with you,

- to your people?
- That's why I'm here.

- Jin.
- What are you doing here?

Hello, Jin? Are you there?

Jin, can you hear me?

- Hello?
- Jin? It's Phil, man!

Where have you been?! The Hostile
escaped. We're searching the east grid.

- He's headed north.
- How the hell do you know that?

Because he attacked me.

What? Where are you?

Jin, are you still there? Jin?

Jin!



Help...

Please help.

OK, everybody, listen up.

We don't know yet
if another attack is coming.

Everybody needs to be ready
for your security assignments.

Make sure you're in contact
with your team leaders.

LaFleur's got search parties out,
but the Hostile's got a good jump on us.

We're pretty sure he used this fire
as a diversion in order to escape.

Is he talking about Sayid?

If he was locked up,
how could he start the fire?

- Who are you?
- Jack... Shephard. I'm new.

Well, Jack, the way he started the fire
is he had help, OK.

Somebody torched that van.

Then that somebody
let him out of his cell.

Since the security cameras didn't pick
up any Hostiles crossing the perimeter,

that means it was one of us.

Baxter, I want a full report
on clean up, ASAP.

You got it, Horace.

Hey, you.

Yeah, you.

- You're in the motor pool, right?
- Yeah.

You mind running that winch for me?

You have no idea what I'm talking about,
do you? OK. No worries.

Throw this lever,
when I tell you to stop, pull it up.

- All right.
- Simple.

- Don't do it till I'm ready.
- OK.

All right, crank her up.

So they stuck you in the motor pool
when you got here?

- Yeah. Pretty much.
- Same thing happened to me.

Hold it, that's good. Right there.

They couldn't sucker anybody
into that sub

if they told us we were gonna be
grease monkeys and janitors.

- You got to start somewhere, right?
- Yeah.

- What's your name?
- I'm Kate.

Welcome aboard, Kate.
I'm Roger. Roger Linus.

It's nice to meet you, Roger.

That's my kid.

That's my kid!

Hi, handsome.

Did you have a good sleep?

Yeah, that's my boy.

- Hi.
- Oh, my God!

Hey, Cassidy.

Oh, my God. I saw you on the news.

I told all my friends,
"I know that woman."

- Hi.
- This is Aaron.

- Hi, Aaron?
- Say, "hi."

You survived a plane crash.

It's amazing. I never thought I'd see
you again, what are you doing here?

Sawyer sent me.

Sawyer. So that son of a bitch
is still alive?

He was when I left.

And he asked you to come here and
give me an envelope full of money?

Well, he told me
where to find you, and...

...said to take care of Clementine.

- His daughter.
- She's asleep in her crib right now.

Want me to wake her up?

I... shouldn't have bothered you.

I could've sent it.
I probably should...

Why did you tell me all this?

Why do you trust me?

Because your daughter had a right
to know her father cared.

Why didn't he come back
with the rest of you?

The helicopter we were on
was running out of gas, so...

...he jumped so that
we could make it to the boat.

What a coward.

- He was trying to do the right thing.
- He was trying to get away from you.

I told him he had a daughter,

he never so much as lifted a finger
to try to call her.

I'm supposed to think he's a hero
because he told you to help us?

Hell, I'll bet this money
isn't even his, is it?

They gave us a settlement,
I didn't need...

You don't have to explain it, Kate.

You got the same look on your face
I did when he ditched me.

All I have for you is sympathy.

- Is it his?
- What?

Your son.

Is it Sawyer's?

No. No, I was...

...pregnant before I met him.

That's not your baby, is it?

Kate, you just told me
you and your friends

cooked a story for the whole world
about what happened on that island.

So you tell me the truth about that.

Why are you lying to me about him?

Because I have to.

- What happened?
- What the hell are you doing here?

That was Ben.
That kid who was shot was Ben.

- Was it Sayid? Did he shoot him?
- Here's what you need to do:

Keep your mouth shut
and stop asking questions.

Any attention on yourself
is the last thing I need. Now scram.

- I just want to know what's going on.
- LaFleur!

What... What's she doing here?

- This is...
- I'm Kate.

Kate. She's new over at the motor pool.

I was seeing if she saw
anything suspicious, but she didn't.

You can run along. Thanks.

Have you checked the Hostile's cell yet?

I was busy trying to keep
the town from burning.

OK, then let's do it.

He didn't break out.
Somebody let him out.

These are janitor's keys.

We've only got three janitors:
there's Roger, Willie

and that new guy.
I just met him. His name's Jack.

I brought him in from the sub.
I'll talk to him.

- Miles, you wanna come with me?
- Yeah, sure, boss.

I want you to find Jack and Hurley
and Kate quick as you can.

- Put them in a house and sit on them.
- What for?

I don't want them talking to anybody.
Things are out of control.

- All right. I got it.
- All right, go.

Who did this?
Do you know who did this to my son?

- We're working on it. How's he doing?
- I don't know.

Juliet told me to wait out here.

- Let me see if I can get an update.
- Thanks, Jim.

Roger, you have your keys with you?

Yeah. Why, what do you need?

- I must have left them at the house.
- It's all right. Don't worry about it.

More gauze.

- Here's some gauze.
- In here.

Here you go.

If we can't stop the hemorrhaging,
we're gonna have to pack the tract.

OK.

- Where's the doctor?
- The Looking Glass station till Friday.

- How's he doing?
- Not well.

Hold on. He's still bleeding in there
somewhere, and I can't fix it.

- It's all right.
- No, it is not all right.

Someone needs to get in there, find
the damage that bullet did and fix it.

He needs a real surgeon.

You're telling us...
we're under house arrest?

No. You're all free to leave
whenever you want.

But I'll shoot you in the leg.

- Whose idea was this?
- Who do you think?

Sawyer's just doing his job, Jack.

- What the hell are you doing, Tubby?
- Checking to see if I'm disappearing.

- What?
- Back to the Future, man.

We came back in time to the island
and changed stuff.

So if little Ben dies,
he'll never grow up to be big Ben,

whose the one who made us
come back here.

Which means we can't be here.
And therefore, dude? We don't exist.

You're an idiot.

- Am I?
- Yeah. It doesn't work like that.

You can't change anything.

Your maniac Iraqi buddy shot Linus.
That is what always happened...

It's just... we never experienced
how it all turns out.

- That was really confusing.
- Yeah, well... get used to it.

But the good news is
that Linus didn't die,

so that means the kid can't either.
He'll be fine.

Didn't look like he was gonna be fine.
What if you're wrong?

Well, if I'm wrong then
I guess we all stop existing,

and none of it
matters anyway then, does it?

- Doc, I need you to come with me.
- Come with you where?

Kid's losing blood,
we ain't got none to put in him,

so we need you to show us
where he sprung a leak.

No.

- What?
- No. I'm not coming with you.

If you don't come with me,
that kid's gonna die.

Then he dies.

What are you doing?

I'm making sandwiches. Figured
everybody'd be getting hungry by now.

He's just a boy, Jack.
You can’t just let him die.

You heard Miles. We can't change
what's already happened.

- This has nothing to do with me.
- Unless you're supposed to save him.

Thirty years from now
that boy is going to be a man

that locks me in a cage
because he needs surgery.

Then you're going to come in and
you're going to beg me to operate on him

because he's threatening
to murder Sawyer.

I've already done this once.

I've already saved Benjamin Linus.
And I did it for you, Kate.

I don't need to do it again.

This is our fault.

We brought Sayid back.
We caused this.

When we were here before, I spent
all of my time trying to fix things.

But did you ever think that maybe the
island just wants to fix things itself?

That maybe I was just...
getting in the way?

You know, I don't like the new you.

I liked the old you...

...who wouldn’t just sit around
and wait for things to happen.

You didn't like the old me, Kate.

Hey, where are you going?

Just try to relax. You're OK.

I'm sorry... Juliet?
One of the new people is here.

She heard Ben needed blood,
says she's a universal donor.

This might hurt for a second.

Good, very brave.

So James told me that Jack
wouldn't help, but he didn't say why.

If I understood why Jack does what
he does, I wouldn't be sitting here.

Off-island did something happen
with you two?

We were engaged.

Does that count?

- What's going on?
- I asked you to wait outside...

- What's going on with my kid?
- Kate is giving blood

so we can transfuse Ben...

- Well, I'm not waiting outside.
- He can stay with me.

Then you could check on Ben,

and Roger here could keep me company,
make sure I don't pass out.

OK. Roger, have a seat.

- Thanks.
- Sure.

- He stole my keys.
- Sorry?

LaFleur asked me where my keys were.

That bastard doesn't ask any questions
he doesn't know the answers to.

Which means my son stole my keys so
he could bust that animal out of jail.

Why would he do that?

Because of me.

You got kids?

No.

I thought I was going to be
the greatest father ever.

I guess it didn't work out that way.

What about his mother, she still around?

No, she's dead.

She died the day he was born.

Sorry.

Yeah... me, too.

I tried to do what I thought
she would want me to.

But...

I guess a boy just needs his mother.

- What's going on?
- He's going into hypoxic shock.

- What does that mean?
- He needs oxygen. Roger, out of here.

- What?
- Get him out!

- Wait! What...
- Please, Roger, just wait outside.

Wait a minute.

Let me get this straight.

- All this already happened?
- Yes.

So this conversation we're having
right now, we already had it?

- Yes!
- Then what am I gonna say next?

- I don't know.
- Then your theory is wrong!

For the thousandth time, you dingbat,
the conversation already happened,

but not for you and me. For you and me,
it's happening right now.

OK, answer me this:

If all this already happened to me,

then... why don't I remember any of it?

Because once Ben turned that wheel,

time isn't a straight line
for us anymore.

Our experiences
in the past and the future

occurred before
these experiences right now.

Say that again?

Shoot me. Please. Please?

I can't shoot you
because if you die in 1977,

you'll never come to the island
on the freighter 30 years from now!

I can die! Because I've already come
to the island on the freighter.

Any of us can die,
because this is our present.

You said Ben couldn't die because
he has to become leader of the Others.

Because this is his past.

But when we first captured Ben
and Sayid, like, tortured him,

then why wouldn't he remember getting
shot by that same guy when he was a kid?

I hadn't thought of that.

- How is he?
- He's stable.

Is he gonna be OK?

He's got fresh blood,
which is a good thing.

Roger, go out to the medical station.

There's supplies there
that we don't have here.

OK. Hey... I just want to say...

I want to say thanks.
I know you're doing everything you can.

To save him.

All right, I'm going to go, OK?

Is he any better?

He is stable now.

But I can't...

- I can't fix it...
- What about the sub?

- Can we take him somewhere?
- No.

- It's gone, won't be back for months.
- But he can't die, right?

He is going to die. He's in a
medical situation that's not resolvable.

We can't sit and do nothing.

There's got to be someone
who can help him. We have an entire...

What?

- Maybe there's something they can do.
- "They"?

The Others.

- You got him?
- Yeah.

Ready? One, two, three, go.

OK, let's go.

- I'm coming with you.
- No, no, no.

If something goes wrong it doesn't
matter for me. You got a life here.

Besides, if Sawyer knew
I got you involved, he'd kill me.

- How are you going to manage?
- I'll manage. Don't worry.

Kate... Sawyer's going to find out
Ben's gone,

and when he does,
I have to tell him what happened.

But I'll give you as much
of a head start as I can.

Good luck.

There is someone,
someone here in Los Angeles.

- Let me take you to them.
- Who?

The same person that's going
to show us back to the island.

Is that what this is about?

- You knew?
- No, I was...

You're pretending to care about Aaron
to convince me to go back?

- I wasn't pretending!
- This is insane. You are crazy.

- Kate...
- Jack! Don't!

Mommy, I'm thirsty. I need some milk.

Price check on two.
Need a price check on two.

- You want chocolate milk or regular?
- Juice box.

- You don't want milk anymore?
- Juice box.

Excuse me, where are your juice boxes?

- Aisle five.
- Thank you very much.

No waiting on checkstand three.
No waiting on checkstand three.

Aaron?

Here you go. Thanks.

- Excuse me, have you seen my son?
- Sorry?

Little three-year-old blond kid...

Aaron! Aaron!

Aaron!

Aaron!

Excuse me, I've lost my son.
He's three, he's a blond boy...

- We'll make an announcement.
- No. You have to seal the store.

Aaron?

- Hey!
- Is this your mommy?

Honey, is this your mommy?
I found him in the fruit section.

He looked lost. I was
getting ready to make an announcement.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Sure.

It's OK, honey. Mommy's got you.
Mommy's got you.

Tell my...

- Tell my...
- Try not to talk, OK?

Tell my dad I'm sorry I stole his keys.

I know you got to stop me,
but I can’t just let that kid die.

Damn it, Freckles,
I ain't here to stop you...

I'm here to help you.

- Hi, Auntie Kate!
- Hi, Clementine.

- Is your mommy home?
- Sure, I'll get her.

OK.

They're going back to the island?

- Why in God's name would they do that?
- I don't know.

Jack says that
we weren't supposed to leave.

Well, Jack sounds like a piece of work.

You look exhausted. Drink this,

curl up on my bed, take a nap.
I'll watch your fella.

I lost him.

- What?
- I don't know what happened.

We were in the supermarket and
I turned around for one second,

and he was gone.

And you know,
the crazy thing is, is that...

As scared as I was...

...I wasn't surprised.

All I could think was...
"It's about time."

Why would I feel that way?

Why would I expect him to be taken?

Because you took him, Kate.

No, I...

Claire was gone.

She left him.
I had to take him. He needed me.

You needed him.

Sawyer broke your heart.

How else were you supposed to fix it?

Figure out how you were gonna
carry him out there by yourself?

The line's right over there.

- Others are on the other side?
- They ain't right on the other side.

- We better get moving.
- Hey.

Why are you doing this?
Why are you helping me?

When I found out Ben was gone
and Juliet told me what you were up to,

I asked that exact damn question.

Why are you helping Ben?

And she said...

...no matter what he's gonna grow up
to be, it's wrong to let a kid die.

So...

...that's why I'm doing this.

I'm doing it for her.

Where's Jack?

- He's in the shower.
- Is he in trouble?

I just need to talk to him.

You two mind giving us some privacy?

Hey. Ask me more questions
about time travel.

- I needed you.
- I'm sorry?

That kid was bleeding out,
you're a surgeon, and I needed you.

- That kid is Ben.
- It's not Ben yet. He's just a kid.

Juliet, I'm sorry, I can't help you.

I'm not asking for your help. You made
it clear you weren't interested.

- It's up to Sawyer and Kate now.
- What?

She's trying to save him.

And I sent James after her to help,
because they actually care.

I came back here because I care, Juliet.
I was trying to save you.

We didn't need saving!

We've been fine for three years.

You came back here for you.

At least do me the courtesy
of telling me why.

I came back...

...because I was supposed to.

Supposed to do what?

I don't know yet.

Well, you'd better figure it out.

I can take him for awhile.

Sure you can.

His father said
you think Ben broke Sayid out.

A kid will do almost anything if
he's pissed off enough at his folks.

Is that why you asked me
to take care of your daughter?

- Did you?
- Of course I did.

- Go ahead and take a sip.
- What's she like?

Clementine?

- Yeah. Clementine.
- Oh, she's beautiful.

Looks just like you when she smiles.

She's growing up fast.
Already has a little attitude.

Bet you and Cassidy
had a lot to talk about.

She had an interesting theory
on why you jumped off the chopper.

Yeah? What's that?

You were worried about
what would happen if you didn't.

You and me would have
never worked out, Kate.

I wasn't any more fit
to be your boyfriend

than I am to be
that little girl's father.

You seem to be doing
all right with Juliet.

Yeah. I've done a lot of growing up
in the past three years.

Hands up!

Do not move!

I said don't move.
This is a violation of the truce.

- You're over the line!
- We know.

This kid's been shot.

That's both of our problem,
so unless you want to go to war...

...you're gonna take us
to Richard Alpert.

And you're gonna do it now.

Mrs. Littleton... I'm Kate Austen.

I know who you are.

Come in.

Thank you.

Your friend, Dr. Shephard,
came here last night,

going on and on about
some person named Aaron.

When I asked him who that was,

he ran out of here
like the room was on fire.

He's your grandson.

And your daughter, Claire...

...is alive.

What are you talking about?

- Claire died in the plane crash.
- No. She survived.

When we crashed,
your daughter was eight months pregnant.

She's the one who
gave birth on the island, not me.

We lied.

There were other survivors, too.
We just left them behind.

Why? Why would you leave her there?

Because she disappeared, and...

...she left the baby behind.
We looked everywhere, but...

That's when I started
taking care of Aaron.

When we were rescued, we didn't...
We had to decide what to do with him.

I knew she had wanted him
to be adopted, but I couldn't...

I had to protect him.
So I said he was mine.

Why did you lie?

Why didn't you come to me
in the first place?

Because I needed him.

I'm sorry.

You're gonna see that he's so sweet,
and kind and good.

Where is he?

I checked in two doors down.
He's asleep.

I know that this is a lot
for you to handle.

But...

...when you're ready,
he's waiting for you.

I told him you're his grandmother...

...that you'll take care of him
while I'm gone.

And that I'll be back soon.

Where are you going?

I'm going back to find your daughter.

Bye-bye, baby.

Don't worry. We got them
right where we want them.

- Shut up and keep moving.
- What's it look like I'm doing?

Hello there, James.

Where'd you come from?

You asked my people to bring you to me.
Here I am.

Is that Benjamin Linus?

You two know each other?

- What happened to him?
- He was shot.

- And who might you be?
- She's with me.

- And why are you here?
- Because we need you to save his life.

Can you?

If I take him, he's not ever
going to be the same again.

What do you mean by that?

What I mean is that...

...he will forget this
ever happened, and that...

...his innocence will be gone.

He will always be one of us.

Do you still want me to take him?

Yes.

Richard...

You shouldn't do this
without asking Ellie.

- If Charles finds out...
- Let him find out.

- I don't answer to either of them.
- Where are you taking him?

Come on.

Hello, Ben.

Welcome back to the land of the living.
