Lost (2004–2010): Season 6, Episode 16 - What They Died For - full transcript

Previously on Lost:

- Dude, where'd that come from?
- Locke.

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

I'm not gonna stand here and do nothing!

- You just have to trust me.
- Sorry, Doc, I don't.

Sayid!

Go! I'll get her free.

No, we can do this!

Just go! Save Sawyer!

I won't leave you.

I love you, Sun.



I love you!

What about Jin and Sun?

- Morning.
- Morning.

I made breakfast.

You know, technically,
opening a box of cereal

is not making breakfast.

So you're coming
to the concert tonight, right?

Absolutely.

- Is your mom coming, too?
- Yeah.

Why?

You're not gonna get all weird?

- Why would I get weird?
- Just don't get weird.

I won't.

Morning.



- Morning.
- Morning.

- You want some cereal?
- Sure. Thanks.

How you feeling?

Pretty good. I mean,
he kicks like crazy at night, so...

- Jack Shephard.
- Hello, Mr. Shephard.

This is Oceanic Airlines calling
to inform you that we've...

We've located your missing cargo.

My father's coffin, you found it?

Yes, sir. It'll be arriving
in Los Angeles by the end of the day.

- That's great news. Thank you.
- Of course, sir.

We at Oceanic are very sorry
it's taken so long.

Good day, sir.

It's the best I could do,

and it's gonna hurt a bit.

The bullet went through, but if I don't
do this, it's gonna get infected.

- OK.
- I'm sorry.

They had a little girl, you know.

Her name was... Ji Yeon.

Jin hadn't even met her yet.

Locke did this to them.

We have to kill him, Jack.

I know.

We should get going now.

- Go where?
- Before Sayid died,

he said that Desmond was in a well.

If Locke wants Desmond dead,
then we're gonna need him.

Welcome back, Mr. Locke.
It's good to see you.

Thank you. You, too.

Hey! Don't you dare.

It's him! The guy who hit Mr. Locke!

Somebody call the police!

I saw what you did.
I'm making a citizen's arrest.

- Do not get in my way.
- Don't...

I will not let you hurt Mr. Locke again!

I'm not here to hurt him.

- I am here... to help him let go.
- Who are you?

You wanna know who I am?

You sure this is a shortcut?

I lived in these houses
a long time, Miles.

I think I can remember
how to get there.

Well, I lived in these houses
30 years before you did,

otherwise known as last week, and
I have no idea where the hell we are.

Guess it's a good thing
you're following me.

Mind if I ask how much explosive
you have access to, Ben?

More than enough to destroy
the plane ten times over

and keep it from leaving this island.

Been a long time, sure it's still there?

It's C-4, Richard.
I put some thought into hiding it.

Let me guess, cookie jar.

Don't be ridiculous.

It's in my secret room
behind the bookcase.

What's wrong?

It's just, I, you know,
I get wonky around dead stuff.

Do you have something
you wanna share, Miles?

- I don't think...
- What is it?

It's Alex.

It's your daughter.

After you left, I buried her.

Thank you, Richard.

What's that? A secreter room?

It's where I was told
I could summon the monster.

That's before I realized that
it was the one summoning me.

OK. Richard, it's your idea.

Are we looking to cripple the plane
or blow it to hell?

Blow it to hell.

Then we'd better take it all.

Don't move!

Show me your hands.

Calm down. It's... OK.

- Who the hell are you?
- She's with me.

Hello, Benjamin.

May I come in?

What are you doing here?

Put the gun down, Benjamin.

Go to the dock. Take out equipment
from the outrigger and then sink it.

- You got it.
- She's not going anywhere.

- If you don't answer me, I swear...
- If you shoot me,

then your last chance
of survival will be gone.

Go. He won't do anything.

What are you doing, Richard?

We're getting explosives to destroy
the plane on the other island.

- Why would you do that?
- None of your damned business.

I've had that plane rigged
with explosives since I got here.

As usual, Benjamin,
I'm three steps ahead of you.

How did you get back here, Charles?

- Jacob invited me.
- That's a lie.

- You've never even seen Jacob.
- I most certainly have.

He visited me, not long after
your people destroyed my freighter.

He convinced me of the error of my ways

and told me everything I need
to know for this exact purpose.

What purpose?

Charles?

Yes.

It's Locke. He's coming.

- Has he seen you?
- No, I don't think so.

Our boat is still there.
I didn't have time...

Run. Get back here as fast as you can.

If you don't want to die,
we need to hide.

This may sting a bit, Mr. Linus.

It's Dr. Linus, actually.

I'll go get you an ice pack.

Dr. Linus?

Are you all right?

I heard there was an incident
in the parking lot.

Yes, I got into a fight.

A fight? With who?

I saw the man
that ran you down, Mr. Locke.

He was back. I approached him,
and he just...

...attacked me.

And then the strangest thing happened.

While he was beating me, I think...

I think I saw something.

- What are you doing?
- I'm calling the police.

- You may not want to do that.
- Well, why wouldn't I want to?

The man told me that
he wasn't trying to hurt you.

He told me that he was trying
to get you to let go.

LAPD.

- And for some reason, I believed him.
- Hello? LAPD.

Do you have any idea what he was
talking about, Mr. Locke?

Does that mean something to you?

Hello? LAPD.

Excuse me.

I'd like to see a detective, please.

What's with the getup?
Somebody die?

The benefit at my dad's museum?

The concert I've been
telling you about all week?

- Ring a bell?
- Yeah.

- It's all I've been thinking about.
- You can be my date.

That red-headed chick that hates me
gonna be there?

- Charlotte. Yeah.
- Yeah, pass.

Detective Ford, this guy's
got somethin' to tell ya.

Yeah?

There was a hit and run
a few days ago

at Washington Tustin High School.

And then this morning
one of the teachers there was...

...was beaten badly by the...
by the same suspect.

Yeah? And?

I'm the suspect.

Thanks for saving the taxpayers
the trouble of hunting you down.

You're welcome.

Good afternoon.

And how are you doing today?

Terrific.

Any idea exactly where this well is?

Sayid said it was close to our camp.
We're about an hour away.

If Locke wanted Desmond dead,
why didn't he just kill him?

Who knows?
Maybe it's one of his rules.

The bomb on the sub.

You said he couldn't kill us.

I've been wrong before.

I killed them, didn't I?

No.

He killed them.

- You all right?
- Yeah. I'm fine.

OK.

- Give me the ashes.
- What? Who are you?

Give me the ashes you took
from Ilana's things after she died.

I know they're in your pocket.

- Why?
- Because they're mine.

What do you want 'em for?

Hey!

- Hello, Hugo.
- Dude.

I've been waiting for you to show up.
Where you been?

Doesn't matter. I'm here now.

Did you see a kid run by here
with your ashes?

My ashes are right there
in that fire.

When it burns out,
you'll never see me again.

- What?
- You should get your friends.

We're very close to the end, Hugo.

- Charles, let's go.
- There's no time.

Linus has a hidden room. Come on.

- What are you waiting for?
- I'm not interested in hiding.

He's gonna find me sooner or later.
I'd rather have it over with.

These are both great plans,
but I'm gonna go with surviving.

If you need us, we'll be running
through the jungle.

Miles, wait.

- Give me your walkie-talkies.
- Why?

Because I asked.

Thank you.

- In case I need you.
- He's gonna kill you. You know that?

Then I guess this is goodbye.

Care to join me outside
while I wait for the inevitable?

I'm gonna talk to him.
I know this man.

All he wants is for me to join him,
and if I can get him to leave with me,

maybe that'll give you a chance.

Good luck with that.

Just the man I was looking for.

Well, you found me.

Can I get you a glass of lemonade?

I need you...

...to kill some people for me, Ben.

And why would I do that?

Because once I leave this island,

you can have it all to yourself.

- All right.
- Good.

Now... whose outrigger is that
down at the dock?

I believe it's Charles Widmore's.

And do you know
where I might find him?

He's hiding in my closet.

Oh, my God. Hey, Dr. Linus.

Hello, Alex.

Oh, my God. What happened?

I found myself confronting someone
that had a bit of a temper.

What? Why would someone
want to hurt you?

You're, like, the nicest guy ever.

I guess they had me confused
with somebody else.

Well, you shouldn't be driving.
My mom's waiting for me over there.

Let us give you a ride home.

No. I'm not going
to be any trouble to you.

Dr. Linus, please.

You've got one hand.
You look like Napoleon.

Excellent point.

Hey, Mom!

Is it OK if we give
Dr. Linus a ride home?

Of course. After everything
you have done for my daughter,

a ride is the least we can do.

I'm Danielle.

Benjamin Linus.

Hey, Mom, can Dr. Linus
come over for dinner?

- It's coq au vin night.
- That's really not...

No, we insist,
even if we have to kidnap you.

Here, please.

Do you mind getting that plate?

Dr. Linus... Thank you.

It's so nice to be able
to cook for someone other than Alex.

If you don't mind my asking,
where is her father?

He died when Alex was two.

That's probably why
she's so attached to you.

Excuse me?

All the interest you've taken in her,

all the help you've given...

You're the closest thing
to a father she's ever had.

Are you...

- Are you all right?
- I'm fine. I'm sure it's the onions.

I'll put in less next time.

After you.

Charles and his lady friend
are in here.

She's armed, but I'm guessing
that's not a problem for you.

Wait out here.

- You don't need to see this.
- I want to see this.

Sorry, Charles.

What a pleasant surprise.

How nice to be able to talk
without those fences between us.

- And who might you be?
- Zoe.

- My name is Zoe...
- Don't talk to him. Don't say anything.

- Why would you do that?
- You told her not to talk to me.

That made her pointless.

Now, Charles,
it's clear you're not afraid to die.

So there's only one way to motivate you
to tell me what I want to know.

Soon, this will all be over.
I'll get what I want.

And I'll finally leave this island.

And when I do,

the first thing I'm going to do
is kill your daughter.

Penny.

You'll kill her
whether I talk to you or not.

No, I won't.

I give you my word.

And I'm supposed to take your word?

You tell me why you came back here,
and I won't hurt your daughter.

I brought Desmond Hume back here

because of his unique resistance
to electromagnetism.

He was a measure of last resort.

- What do you mean, "last resort?"
- I'm not saying more in front of him.

Well, then whisper to me.

He doesn't get to save his daughter.

Ben... you never cease to amaze me.

Fortunately, he told me
what I needed to know.

- So... no harm done.
- Good.

Did you say there were
some other people to kill?

Hello, Kate. James.

Jack.

He's right there by the fire.
He says hello...

I heard him.

- What, you can see him?
- Yeah, I can see him.

Kate? Sawyer? You, too?

So you're the one
who wrote our names on the wall.

I am.

Sun and Jin Kwon and Sayid Jarrah,
you wrote their names on the wall?

- Yes.
- Is that why they're dead?

I'm very sorry.

- You're sorry?
- Kate.

No, I wanna know why.

I wanna know that Sun and Jin
and Sayid didn't die for nothing.

Come and sit down
and I'll tell you what they died for.

I'll tell you why I chose them...

...and why I chose you.

Then I'll tell you everything you need
to know about protecting this island,

because by the time that fire burns out,

one of you is gonna have
to start doing it.

Desk supervisor, dial 4-1-0-4.

- You got a minute?
- Mr. Locke. Yes.

Yes, come on in.

Is that your son?

Yes. That's last Thanksgiving.

- He looks just like you.
- Don't tell him that.

So what can I do for you, Mr. Locke?

Dr. Shephard, you and I were on
the same plane from Sydney.

You gave me your card, and...

...next day, I threw it away.
No offense.

- None taken.
- Anyway...

Then a few days later,
I get hit by a car.

And of all the doctors in Los Angeles,
I ended up with you.

Then after you saved my life,

you still wanna fix me, and I still...

...don't wanna be fixed.

OK. Then...

The man who ran me down

shows up at my school today again.

He beat up a teacher
in the parking lot.

But do you know what he said to him?

He said that he wasn't there to hurt me.

He was there to help me "let go,"

which is exactly the same thing
that you said to me

the last time you and I saw
each other.

I'm sorry. Are you saying
that I sent this man to run you down?

No, no.

But what if all this...

Maybe this is happening
for a reason.

Maybe you're supposed to fix me.

Mr. Locke, I want to fix you,

but I think you're mistaking
coincidence for fate.

You can call it whatever
you want, but here I am,

and I...

I think I'm ready
to get out of this chair.

I don't really know where to start.

How about with why
you brought us to the island?

I brought all of you here
because I made a mistake.

A mistake I made
a very long time ago,

and now because of that,

there's a very good chance
that every single one of you

and everyone you've ever
cared about is going to die.

What mistake?

You call him "the monster."

But I'm responsible
for what happened to him.

I made him that way.

And ever since then,
he's been trying to kill me.

It was only a matter of time
before he figured out how,

and when he did,
someone would have to replace me.

And that's why I brought you all here.

Tell me something, Jacob.

Why do I gotta be punished
for your mistake?

What made you think
you can mess with my life?

I was doin' just fine till you
dragged my ass to this damn rock.

No, you weren't.

None of you were.

I didn't pluck any of you
out of a happy existence.

You were all flawed.

I chose you because you were like me.

You were all alone.

You were all looking for something
that you couldn't find out there.

I chose you because you needed
this place as much as it needed you.

Why did you cross my name
off of your wall?

Because you became a mother.

It's just a line of chalk in a cave.
The job is yours if you want it, Kate.

What is the job?

There's a light
at the center of the island.

You have to make sure it never goes out.
That's how you protect it.

Your monster friend said
there was nothing to protect it from.

You have to protect it from him.

You must do what I couldn't...

- What I wasn't able to do.
- You want us to kill him.

- Is that even possible?
- I hope so,

because he is certainly
going to try to kill you.

So... how you gonna pick?

I'm not going to pick, Hugo.

I want you to have the one thing
that I was never given...

A choice.

- And if none of us chooses it?
- Then this ends very badly.

I'll do it.

This is why I'm here.

This is...

This is what I'm supposed to do.

Is that a question, Jack?

No.

Good.

Then it's time.

And I thought that guy
had a God complex before.

- James.
- Yeah, I know.

I'm just glad it's not me.

Do you remember that bamboo field
you woke up in when you first got here?

- Yeah.
- Beyond that field, across a ridge,

is the heart of the island.
That's where the light is.

That's where he's trying to go.
And that's what you have to protect.

Past the bamboo?

- There's nothing out there.
- Yes, there is, Jack.

And now you'll be able to get there.

- Do you have a cup?
- Yeah.

Yeah, actually, I do.

Drink this.

How long am I gonna
have to do this job?

As long as you can.

Now you're like me.

All righty. Here's Jarrah and Hume.

The little lady next door is Austen.

Been real nice having y'all.
We're shipping you off to county,

so best of luck and vaya con Dios.

- You could still let me go.
- Why the hell would I do that?

Because I told you I was innocent,

- and you believed me.
- Doesn't matter.

Still can't let you go. I'm a cop.

You don't seem like a cop to me.

Nice knowing ya.

1-F-21 responding.

I think it's time to leave.

- What?
- I said, I think it's time to leave.

- Are you ready to get out of here?
- I'm sorry. Who are you?

He's a crazy person
who turned himself in.

- What'd you turn yourself in for?
- I ran over a guy in a wheelchair.

You see what I mean?

All right. I'm crazy.

But do you want
to get out of here or not?

You just gonna tell the driver to stop?

The driver already knows
where to stop. But when that happens,

- you have to give me your trust.
- Our trust?

That's right.

Because after I set you free,

I'm gonna ask each of you
to do something,

and you're gonna have
to promise me that you'll do it.

- So what do you say?
- Absolutely, I promise.

- How about you?
- OK. Sure.

All right, then.

- Who is Hume?
- That's me.

Where's your friend with my money?

Otherwise, I'm gonna have to say
I shot all of you trying to escape.

Don't worry. He'll be here.

Here he comes.

- Sorry I'm late, dude.
- Don't worry about it.

You didn't tell me
Ana Lucia was gonna be here.

- Do I know you, Tubby?
- No. We never met.

Anyways, here's your money.
125 grand, right?

Yeah, that's right.

Nice not knowing you.

- She's not coming with us?
- No, she's not ready yet.

I brought you my Camaro.
The keys are under the floor mat.

- Everything else is in the trunk.
- All right, good.

- You know where you're taking 'em?
- Absolutely.

All right, well, we should get going.
OK. You're with him, and you're with me.

What do you mean, I'm with you?

We... are going to a concert.

Let's go.

- Hey, can I ask you something?
- Shoot.

If you can turn yourself
into smoke whenever you want,

why do you bother walking?

I like the feel of my feet
on the ground.

Reminds me that I was human.

We're here.

Are you thirsty?

- This is the well I threw Desmond into.
- What's the matter?

I sent Sayid to kill Desmond.
Obviously, he didn't.

Looks like someone helped him out.

No, Ben. Someone helped me out.

What did Widmore say to you?

He said Desmond was a fail-safe.

Jacob's last resort in case, God forbid,

I managed to kill
all of his beloved candidates.

One final way to make sure
that I never leave this place.

Then... why are you happy
that he's still alive?

Because I'm gonna find Desmond.

And when I do, he's gonna
help me do the one thing

that I could never do myself.

I'm gonna destroy the island.
