Lost (2004–2010): Season 5, Episode 5 - This Place Is Death - full transcript
In order to avoid being killed, Ben promises to offer proof to Sun that Jin is still alive. On the island, Jin meets up with the survivors as Locke reaches The Orchid and fulfills his mission.
Previously on Lost:
Some lawyers came to see me. They
wanted to test to see if Aaron’s my son.
You need to take care of them.
Wouldn't you do anything you had to
in order to keep Aaron?
Hello, Kate.
He's with me.
He's the one trying to take Aaron.
It was me.
Sorry.
Charlotte!
We have to go to The Orchid where
this started, maybe where it'll stop.
This is happening because they left,
I think it will stop
if I bring them back.
What is your name?
Jin.
I am Danielle. Danielle Rousseau.
Mama.
Why don't you leave me
and my son alone?
'Cause he's not your son, Kate.
- Move away, Kate.
- Sun...
I said move away.
- Sun, what're you doing? Where's Aaron?
- He's in the car.
- I know you think you're helping...
- If it wasn't for you,
- Jin would still be alive.
- I didn't kill your husband, Sun.
- Yes, you did.
- No, I didn't.
Neither did anyone else.
Because he's not dead.
- You're lying.
- No, Sun.
Jin's still alive.
And I can prove it.
Four, eight...
...15, 16, 23, 42.
Four, eight, 15, 16...
Are you all right?
- You Rousseau? Danielle Rousseau?
- Yes. That's right.
- Where you from?
- We sailed from Tahiti.
- When?
- November 15th.
No. What year?
1988.
Why?
What's the matter?
I need go find my camp.
- What camp?
- You were on this island before?
You see helicopter?
Is there an antenna on this island?
Jin! Please.
Is there...
...a radio tower?
OK.
Like that.
- Is there a radio tower here?
- Yes.
But I must find my camp,
because maybe helicopter go there...
Do you know where
your camp is from here?
- No.
- How about from the radio tower?
- Yes.
- Then go with us to the tower.
Then we'll find your camp.
OK.
- Are you ready to go?
- Yes.
Who are you hoping to find?
My wife.
Four, 8, 15, 16...
...23, 42.
Four, 8, 15, 16...
Nadine?
Nadine?
Nadine!
Did you hear that?
What is that?
Monster.
- We go find her.
- No! We must go.
You shut up.
Nadine!
Nadine!
Nadine!
Nadine!
Nadine!
- Nadine!
- Nadine!
Nadine.
Nadine!
Run!
What was that thing?!
No!
We do not leave anyone behind!
No! You don't go...
...with the baby.
No.
What's wrong?
- You!
- No!
- You disappeared!
- No, please. Wait!
You're sick, too! You're a carrier!
Turn around slowly.
- Jin?
- Sawyer?
Jin!
You're kidding me! You were on
that boat. I thought you were dead!
No, I... in water.
What do you say?
Where is Sun?
Where did that guy come from?
I thought he was on the boat.
The blast must have
thrown him in the water.
He's been moving with every flash,
just like us.
Every time the sky lights up,
we... move through time.
Translate!
Please, translate.
You heard the man, translate.
He's Korean. I'm from Encino.
He wants to know how you're sure
his wife is off the island.
- You speak Korean, Red?
- Obviously.
Tell him I'm sure.
But none of it will matter
if we don't make it to The Orchid.
Bring Sun back?
Why you bring her back?
Because she never should have left.
I've spent the last
three years thinking...
...believing that he was dead.
You say you have proof he's not?
I want to see it.
Put down the gun.
No one wants it to go off.
How do you know he's alive?
There's someone...
...someone here in Los Angeles.
Let me take you to them,
- and I'll show you the proof.
- Someone? Who?
The same person that's going to show us
how to get back to the island.
Is that what this is about?
You knew? You're pretending to care
about Aaron to convince me to go back?
- I wasn't pretending anything.
- This is insane. You are crazy.
- Kate...
- Jack! Don't.
- Where are you going?
- I don't want any part of this.
And if I see you... or him again,
it will be extremely unpleasant
for all of us.
Thirty minutes, Sun.
We can be there in 30 minutes.
And you'll have proof.
Proof that he's alive.
Or you can shoot me and never know.
Let's go.
How far?
- Just over the next ridge.
- How you leave the island?
- I'm not sure yet.
- I'll go with you.
No, it doesn't work like that.
It's a one man job.
- Why?
- I don't know why, Jin. It just is.
But I promise, I'll bring Sun back.
You OK? You want to take a break?
Let's just get there.
So... do you speak any other languages?
Just Klingon.
- Dan, is this going to work?
- It does make empirical sense that
if this started at The Orchid,
that's where it's gotta stop.
As far as bringing back the people
who left to stop these temporal shifts?
That's where we leave science behind.
You OK?
Oh, no!
Come on!
Charlotte!
- Charlotte...
- Juliet...
You have a little...
You too.
Charlotte... can you hear me?
Charlotte, it's Daniel. Talk to me...
What'd she say?
Don't let them bring her back.
No matter what.
Don't let them bring her back.
This place is death.
You said we'd be there in 30 minutes.
I didn't account for traffic.
- Sun, I'm sorry.
- Sorry for what?
For leaving Jin behind.
When we landed that chopper
on the boat...
...everything was
just happening so fast.
I knew he was down below, but...
We should've waited for him.
Why are you telling me this now?
Are you going to ask me not to kill Ben
if he's lying about my husband?
After what he just did to Kate,
if you don't do it, Sun, I will.
- What are you doing?!
- What I'm doing is helping you.
If you had any idea what
I've had to do to keep you safe,
to keep your friends safe,
you'd never stop thanking me.
You want to shoot me? Then shoot me.
But let's get on with it.
What's it gonna be?
Drive.
- Why can't Daddy come with us?
- Charlotte, can you hear me?
You know what my mum would say
about me marrying an American?
I know more about ancient Carthage
than Hannibal himself.
- What the hell is she talking about?
- I have no idea.
Let's go. We have to keep moving.
- Somebody help me carry her.
- No.
She's going to hold us up.
- We can't leave her.
- The flashes are closer together.
When your nose starts bleeding,
you'll realize we gotta get out now.
We'll come back for her
as soon as we can.
No. No way.
I'm not gonna leave her behind.
- Let them go without me.
- No, Charlotte.
We're not gonna leave you behind.
- The hell?
- We have to move!
- He's right. Go. Just go!
- Charlotte...
Charlotte...
Turn it up, I love Geronimo Jackson.
We're running out of time, Dan.
Go.
I'm gonna stay with her.
Let me ask you something.
If we don't know when the hell we are,
what happens if The Orchid ain't around?
Look for the well.
You'll find it at the well.
We'll be sure and do that.
Let's go.
- We're here.
- Thank God.
What are the odds we'd end up
in the same time as this?
You just had to say something.
How the hell did Charlotte know
this was here?
- Daniel?
- Yes?
I've been here before.
You've been... here before?
I grew up here on the island.
There was this Dharma Initiative.
And then I moved away with my mum.
Just my mum.
I never saw my dad again.
And when I got back to England,
I asked my mum about this place.
But she would say that it wasn't real.
That I'd made it up.
That's why I became an anthropologist.
To find this island again.
It's what I've been
searching for my whole life.
Charlotte...
...why are you telling me this?
Because I remember something now.
When I was little... living here...
...there was this man.
A crazy man. He really scared me.
He told me I had to leave the island
and never, ever come back.
He told me that if I came back,
I would die.
Charlotte... I don't understand.
Daniel...
...I think that man was you.
You're going down there?
- What exactly are you hoping to find?
- A way off the island.
Expecting a subway?
Goodbye, James.
Juliet. Miles.
- I'll see you when I get back.
- No. Stop.
You don't bring Sun back.
No, I have to bring them all back.
- That's how it works.
- How you know?
I just know.
- I'll cut this.
- Do that, you'll kill every one of us.
This island is bad.
You don't bring Sun back. Promise!
- You promise you don't bring my baby!
- All right.
You have my word.
Promise... John.
I promise.
I won't go to Sun, Jin,
but she might find me.
If she does, what do I tell her?
You tell her I'm dead.
You say I wash up.
You bury me.
Proof.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Sure you don't want us
to lower you down?
Where would be the fun in that?
John...
...if whatever you're attempting to do
actually works...
Thank you.
You're welcome.
John! Damn it, hold on!
I think you can let go of that now.
No...
- No! No! No!
- James, stop... James.
- Stop.
- Come on, help me!
James.
We can't help him.
Hold on. Hold on.
Stay. Stay with me.
Stay, OK? You're gonna be fine.
Everything's gonna be OK.
- No.
- We've got a plan.
When we were back at the hatch,
I talked to Desmond.
I told him to find my mother.
She can help us, Charlotte.
She will help us.
- How can your mother help us?
- She can.
Listen, listen.
What?
I'm not allowed to have
chocolate before dinner.
Charlotte?
Charlotte?
No.
James!
Can you hear me?!
Can anyone hear me?!
Who's there?
Hello, John.
You.
What're you doing down here?
I'm here to help you
the rest of the way.
I don't understand.
You came to see me in the cabin.
You asked me how to save the island,
and I told you you had to move it.
I said that you had to move it, John.
But Ben said he knew how to do it.
He told me that I had to stay here
and lead his people.
And since when did listening to him
get you anywhere worth a damn?
The good news is that
you're here now.
You ready to go?
I don't know what to do
once I get there.
There's a woman living in Los Angeles.
Once you get your friends, and it
must be all of them, everyone who left,
and once you've
persuaded them to join you,
this woman will tell you
exactly how to come back.
- Who is she?
- Her name is Eloise Hawking.
What if I can only convince
some of them to come back?
I believe in you, John.
You can do this.
Richard said I was going to die.
I suppose that's why
they call it sacrifice.
All right. OK.
All right, I'm ready.
Good.
Now... on the other side
of this column here,
is a wheel that slipped off its axis.
All you have to do
is give it a little push.
Could you help me up?
No. Sorry, I can't.
God!
Good luck, John.
Say hello to my son.
Who's your son?
May I?
Take it.
- How do you have this?
- John gave it to me.
You said John never came to see you.
That's true, Jack.
I went to see him.
Jin gave it to him
before he left the island.
- Why didn't Locke tell me himself?
- I don't know.
Maybe he never had a chance
before he died.
I had to bring you here
before I gave it to you.
All those people back on the island,
Jin included, need our help.
There is a woman in this church. She can
tell us how to get back to your husband.
But we're running out of time, Sun.
So I need you to decide, right now...
Will you come with me?
Yes.
What are you doing here?
I assume the same thing you are.
You're looking for
Faraday's mother, too?
Hello, Eloise.
Hello, Benjamin.
I thought I said all of them.
This is all I could get on short notice.
Well, I suppose
it'll have to do for now.
All right. Let's get started.
Some lawyers came to see me. They
wanted to test to see if Aaron’s my son.
You need to take care of them.
Wouldn't you do anything you had to
in order to keep Aaron?
Hello, Kate.

It was me.
Sorry.
Charlotte!
We have to go to The Orchid where
this started, maybe where it'll stop.
This is happening because they left,
I think it will stop
if I bring them back.
What is your name?
Jin.
I am Danielle. Danielle Rousseau.
Mama.
Why don't you leave me
and my son alone?
'Cause he's not your son, Kate.
- Move away, Kate.
- Sun...
I said move away.
- Sun, what're you doing? Where's Aaron?
- He's in the car.
- I know you think you're helping...
- If it wasn't for you,
- Jin would still be alive.
- I didn't kill your husband, Sun.
- Yes, you did.
- No, I didn't.
Neither did anyone else.
Because he's not dead.
- You're lying.
- No, Sun.
Jin's still alive.
And I can prove it.
Four, eight...
...15, 16, 23, 42.
Four, eight, 15, 16...
Are you all right?
- You Rousseau? Danielle Rousseau?
- Yes. That's right.
- Where you from?
- We sailed from Tahiti.
- When?
- November 15th.

My wife.
Four, 8, 15, 16...
...23, 42.
Four, 8, 15, 16...
Nadine?
Nadine?
Nadine!
Did you hear that?
What is that?
Monster.
- We go find her.
- No! We must go.
You shut up.
Nadine!
Nadine!
Nadine!
Nadine!
Nadine!
- Nadine!
- Nadine!
Nadine.
Nadine!
Run!
