Lost (2004–2010): Season 6, Episode 14 - The Candidate - full transcript

Mr Locke?

Mr Locke?

Mr Locke, can you hear me?

Welcome back.

I know you.

We were on the same flight
back from Sydney.

I met you in the Baggage Claim office.
You had lost your knives.

I'm Jack Shephard.

What happened?

You were run down by a car.
You just came out of surgery.

Am I...



-Am I all right?
-Your dural sac ruptured.

But I think I got everything
back were it belongs.

Mr Locke, while operating, I got a look
at the initial injury to your spine,

the one that put you
in the wheelchair.

And I was hoping you could
tell me how that happened.

Why?

Because I think you're a candidate.

A candidate for what?

A new procedure,
a surgery we're developing, and...

...if it works, it could restore
feeling to your legs.

In fact, you may even walk again.

If you'll give me a shot, Mr Locke,
I think that I could fix you.

No, thank you.

Well, now there's minimal risk,
and the benefit could...



I said no, Doctor.

John?

John.

It's the first time they let me see you.

-Are you OK?
-I'm fine. Hi.

-Are you his doctor?
-Yes, I am. Dr Shephard.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you for saving him.

Thank you.

Welcome to Hydra island.

At least you didn't have to paddle.

Get in.

Ain't no way I'm gettin'
back in those cages.

-Well, I've got the gun, so you...
-Not anymore, Doughboy.

Drop the gun!

Put the gun down or I'll kill her!

You ain't gonna kill anybody. Otherwise,
you wouldn't be throwing us in a cage.

I have a list of names.

Ford, you're on it,
as are Reyes and the Kwons.

Kate Austen? She's not.

It doesn't matter to me
whether she lives or dies.

Don't listen to him.

You may not believe it,
but I'm doing this for your own good.

You're right. I don't believe it.

-Is the fence live yet?
-They're saying about an hour.

We haven't got an hour.
Tell them to work faster.

He's coming.

Hello?

Excuse me? Hello?

I'm sorry. There was no one out front,
and I heard the drill.

Do you know where I can find Dr Nadler?

Well, you can find him right here.

And if you're not a patient,
you can call me Bernard.

Hi. Jack Shephard.

I'm a surgeon over at St. Sebastian,

and I was hoping to get a look
at one of your patient files.

-And which patient would that be?
-His name's John Locke,

and our records said that you had done
some emergency oral surgery on him

-about three years back.
-What are you looking for?

I wanna know how he was hurt.

Do you mind if I ask you why you're
so interested in Mr Locke, Jack?

He and I met about a week ago. We were
on the same flight back from Australia.

Oceanic 815.

I sat across the aisle from you.

Memory serves, you were flirting with my
wife, Rose, when I was in the bathroom.

It's pretty weird.

Yeah.

Well... maybe you're
on to something here.

Now I can't break
patient confidentiality

and tell you something I shouldn't,

but I can tell you
that when I treated Mr Locke,

there was another man
in the same accident with him.

Wait, that was... three years ago.
You just... remember that?

Of course I do, Jack.

Anthony Cooper.

Good luck, Doc.

I hope you find what you're looking for.

What happened?

There was a mortar attack.

Widmore's people fired on us.

Locke saved you.

What about the rest of your group?
What happened to them?

The ones who weren't killed
scattered into the jungle.

It's just the three of us now.

Why did he bring me here?

Because your friends
got themselves captured.

And now... we're gonna
have to rescue them.

Rescue them from what?

Widmore has them in a cage

-about a half a mile inland.
-Why would he...?

I would ask him, except I don't think
he's gonna give me a straight answer.

But I can't imagine
that his intentions are good.

If we move right now, we can break
your people out, run for the plane

and be off this island before
Widmore knows what hit him.

They're not my people.

And I'm not leaving the island.

Jack, I'm hoping you
still change your mind about that.

But your friends do want to leave.

And since they just ran away
from me on my own boat,

I'm gonna need your help
convincing them they can trust me.

Why should I trust you?

Because I could kill you, Jack,
right here, right now.

And I could kill every
single one of your friends,

and there's not a thing
you could do to stop me.

But instead of killing you, I saved your
life. And now I wanna save them, too.

So will you help me?

You feel like we're runnin' in circles?

Back in these cages...

Except last time,
the gun was to my head.

He wouldn't have killed me, James.

That cave I told you about,
where all the names are written?

Your name was there, too,

but it was crossed out.

He doesn't need you, Kate.

So she's with your mother?

Yes. You saw her pictures? How?

Widmore's people found
your camera on the plane.

He showed me the pictures.

Our daughter, she's so beautiful.

I have your ring.

What happened?

Somebody shut us down?
What's going on?

-Somebody killed the power.
-Get a team to that generator now!

And we're dead.

I think I can reach the keys.

Hurry. When that thing's done
with them, he's coming for us.

Well, I ain't waitin'.

Damn it!

What are you doing here?

I'm with him. Come on.

-How much further to the plane?
-About a quarter-mile, over that ridge.

You're coming with us now?

I'm gonna take you to the plane,
but I'm not getting on it.

I'm sorry, Kate. I'm...

I'm not meant to go.

Thanks for coming back for us, Doc.
Appreciate it.

No, it's OK.

Sayid's with us. He was the one
who turned off the generators.

Great. The more the merrier.

We need to go. Locke's waiting.

Are you a relative of Mr Cooper's?

No, I'm not.

-But...
-May I ask the nature of the visit?

Dr Shephard?

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to see Anthony Cooper.

Do you know him?
Is that why you're here, too?

What do you want with Anthony?

I wanna talk to him about the accident
that he was in with Mr Locke.

Dr Shephard... just go.

Look, all I wanna do is help him.

I know. John told me
about the operation.

-He doesn't want it.
-Why doesn't he want it?

Please, Dr Shephard,
just leave this alone.

You saved John's life.
Why can't that be enough?

Because it's not.

Housekeeping, dial 23.

Housekeeping, extension 23.

Hi.

This is Anthony Cooper.

He's John's father.

Hey! Stop!

Stop right there!

Well, all righty. Let's see what
it'll take to get this baby to fly.

Son of a bitch.

-His neck's been broken.
-That's because I broke it.

If it's any consolation, Widmore knew
that I would kill these men.

What are you talking about?

They were only
guarding the plane for show.

If Charles had wanted to keep me
from getting onboard,

he wouldn't have moved
his little fences.

Well, wait. Now he wants us
to leave the island?

No, Hugo. He wants to get us all
in the same place at the same time.

A nice, confined space we have
no hope of getting out of.

And then he wants to kill us.

-Kill us with what?
-With this.

Four bricks of C4.

I found 'em in one
of the overhead compartments,

wired to the electrical system
of the plane.

If we would've turned it on...

So what now?

We can't be sure he didn't put
more explosives on the plane.

It's not safe.

If we're gonna leave the island,
I think we have to take the submarine.

That's what I've been sayin' all along.

Dude, wait. He's not
supposed to leave the island.

-I mean, Alpert said...
-Screw Alpert. He ain't here.

That's twice you've saved our asses.

Guess I was wrong about you.

Thank you, James.

That submarine is gonna be
heavily defended.

We're gonna need everyone.

I'll help you, but like I said,
I'm not going with you.

Fair enough.

Let's go.

Hey.

-I'm sorry that I...
-That's all right, Claire.

I understand why you went with them.

Hey, Doc, listen up.

You don't wanna leave this island,
that's your own business.

But I'm gonna ask you
for one last favour.

I don't trust that thing one bit,
so here's what I need you to do.

Once we get to the dock,
you make sure it doesn't get on the sub.

How am I supposed to do that?
You saw what it did back there.

Just get it in the water.
I'll take care of the rest.

CT test to trauma 3.
CT test to trauma 3.

Mr Locke, are you awake?

Push the button.

Mr Locke, can you hear me?

I wish you had believed me.

Excuse me?

Miss Littleton.

Dr Shephard. I was
just looking for you.

The lawyer told me you work here.

-Can we talk?
-Yes. Yes.

No. I'm OK.

I'm sorry I had to run out
of the will reading the other day,

-but I did have an emergency and...
-No worries.

I know this is as awkward
for you as it is for me.

I never even met this man.

Anyway, the lawyer gave me this.

She said there'd be more stuff to come,

but that my father especially
wanted me to have this.

You know why
or what it's supposed to mean?

I have no idea.

But then...
I didn't know about you, either.

Our father...

You mind if I ask how he died?

He was found in an alley
outside a bar in Sydney.

He drank himself to death.

I flew down to bring his body back,
but then...

...the airline lost it.

I just flew in from Sydney few days ago.

-When?
-Last Wednesday.

-Oceanic flight 815?
-Yeah.

Do you mind if I have a look at that?

Sure. Go ahead.

I'm sorry. I wish I knew why
he wanted you to have this.

Yeah. Me, too.

Well, it was nice seeing you again.

Thanks for trying to help.

-Where are you staying?
-Just down the road, a motel.

Why don't you come stay with me?

Stay with you?

I mean, we're strangers.

No, we're not strangers. We're...

We're family.

Just 'cause there ain't any goons on the
dock doesn't mean they ain't on the sub.

We're going in hard. Got it?

Lapidus, Hugo, Jin, Sun.
You're with me.

The rest of you wait 30 seconds,
head down the dock behind us.

You think you two can get our backs?

Absolutely.

All right.

Let's go home.

Aft to engine room, power the bilges.

Aft to engine room,
power the bilges, please.

Where's the damn captain?

Put your damn hands up.

Nothin' personal.

OK, hoss, how about you
get ready to fire this thing up?

I got it.

Come on.

You sure you won't reconsider, Jack?

-Yeah, I'm sure.
-Whoever told you you needed to stay

had no idea what
they were talking about.

John Locke told me I needed to stay.

What happened?

Kate?!

Claire! Let's go now!

What's going on up there?

-What happened?
-Widmore's people shot her.

Hurley, I need a first aid kit.

-Who else is up there?
-Claire.

Claire!

James!

Lapidus, if you can hear me, dive! Dive!

Let's go!

-Hey! Wait! Wait!
-Claire! Claire, wait!

-Claire! Claire.
-Wait!

-What the hell are you doing?
-What we came here to do... leaving.

-It's all right. It's all right.
-No!

-They're leaving us!
-No, trust me.

You don't want to be on that sub.

Kate.

Claire? Where's Claire?

-She's still up there.
-No, we can't leave without her.

-Kate.
-Is she gonna be OK?

I can't find the first aid kit, dude.

Jin, my pack. There might be a shirt
in there I can use for pressure.

It's OK. Just relax.
Everything's gonna be all right.

Here. Can you help her?

I think the bullet
went straight through.

What?

Dude, where'd that come from?

Locke.

We did exactly what he wanted.

-We have to get to the surface.
-What the hell?

We have to get to the surface now!

Lapidus, take us up.

-We're divin'!
-Just do it!

You heard him. Up!

-Dude, how'd that get on the sub?
-Locke put it in my pack.

Why would he do that?
He wanted to come with us.

Damn right.
That's why I shut his ass out.

He wanted you to shut him out.

Any idea how that thing works?
Can we turn it off?

This watch is jury-rigged
to the battery.

-The battery detonates the explosives.
-How much time till we're up, Frank?

At least five minutes.

We ain't got five minutes.
What's it gonna be, Sayid?

These wires, leads from the watch.
If we disconnect them from the battery,

-technically, the bomb should be inert.
-"Technically"?

You need to pull them out
simultaneously, I'm not sure...

Step aside.

-No, wait. Wait.
-What the hell are you doing, Doc?

Nothing's gonna happen.

What?

Don't pull those wires out.
We're OK. Nothing's gonna happen.

If I don't pull these wires,
Locke's gonna blow us...

No, he's not! Locke can't kill us.

-What?
-This is what he wanted.

This is what he's been waiting for.
Everything he has done

has been to get us here.

He wanted to get us all
in the same place at the same time.

A nice enclosed space where we
had no hopes of getting out of.

I don't understand.

Locke said he can't leave
the island without us.

I think he can't leave the island
unless we're all dead.

He told me that he could kill
any one of us whenever he wanted,

so what if he hasn't because he's...
he's not allowed to?

What if he's trying to get us
to kill each other?

Stay out of my way, Doc.

If he wanted that to blow up,
why put a timer in it?

-Why not throw it inside?
-I don't care.

-Nothing is gonna happen.
-It's not your decision.

-He can't kill us!
-I'm not gonna stand and do nothing!

James...

We are going to be OK.

You just have to trust me.

Sorry, Doc, I don't.

Listen carefully.
There's a well on the main island

a half mile south
from the camp we just left.

Desmond's inside it.
Locke wants him dead,

which means you're going to need him.
Do you understand me?

-Why are you telling me this?
-Because it's going to be you, Jack.

Sayid!

Hell.

-Are you OK?
-What happened? Did Sayid just...

Help!

-Sun! Wait!
-Help!

Hold on. I'll get you out.

-Sawyer! I need help!
-Jin!

Hurley!

Hurley! You gotta take Kate outta here.

-What about everybody else?
-I'll take care of them!

-I have to go after Sayid!
-There is no Sayid!

Listen to me. Take this tank

and buddy-breathe and swim out
where the blast hole is, OK?

Hurley, you can do this, OK?

-OK.
-Go.

Doc!

On three. One... two... three.

Sawyer! Jack!

Sawyer! Sawyer!

Jin... go.

-No.
-Save yourself.

I'm going to get you out of here.

Go. Go. I'll get her free.

No. We can do this!

Just go! Save Sawyer.

Jin!

Take this. I can get him out without it.

No, you can't, Jack.

Just go.

Go.

Jin.

You have to go.

No, I can do this.

No. No, you can't.

Please go.

I won't leave you.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

No.

Go.

Go. Please.

Go!

I love you, Sun.

I love you.

Is somebody meeting you, Mr Locke?

Yes, my fianc? Helen.

She's... probably stuck in traffic.

Hey, I'll take it from here.
I'm pretty good at this.

-Well, best of luck to you, sir.
-Thank you. See ya.

Mr Locke.

I'm glad I caught ya. I haven't
had a chance to say goodbye yet.

Well, goodbye.

And thanks again, Dr Shephard.

I went to see your father.

-What?
-When you didn't want the surgery,

I felt like I had to understand why,
and, you know,

I thought that if I could find out
why you're in this chair,

-that maybe...
-I was in a plane crash.

I had had my private pilot's license
for a week,

and I begged my father
to be my first official passenger.

He was terrified of flying.

But I looked him right in the eye
and I told him he could trust me.

And we barely got off the ground.

I still don't re...

I don't remember what I did wrong,
but it was my fault.

It was my fault that this man,
who I loved more than anything,

will never walk or... talk or...

You know, the first time you and I met,
back at the airport,

you told me that my father was gone,

and it hurt to hear that,
but I knew you were right.

Your father's gone, too, Mr Locke.

-No, he's not.
-Yes, he is.

Punish yourself as much as you want,
that's never gonna bring him back.

What happened, happened, and...

...you can let it go.

What makes you think
letting go is so easy?

It's not.

In fact, I don't really know
how to do it myself.

And that's why I was hoping that...

...maybe you could go first.

Goodbye, Dr Shephard.

I can help you, John.

I wish you believed me.

Jack.

I couldn't find you.
I couldn't find you.

Is he OK?

He got hit in the head pretty hard,
but he's breathing.

What about Jin and Sun?

It sunk.

What, the submarine?

But... they were all on it. Everyone.

-What, they're all dead?
-Not all of them.

Wait. Where you going?

To finish what I started.
