[Locke has just killed Naomi]

Jack: JOHN!

[Aims his gun at Jack] Step back, Jack.

Jack

What did you do?

What I had to. Now step back.

[The phone rings, Jack and Locke look at it]

Stay away from the phone.

[Jack runs and grabs the phone as Locke tries to shoot it]

Jack

What are you doing, John?

I don't wanna shoot you.

Do it, John! Shoot him! Do what you need to do-

[Ben is silenced as Rousseau knocks him out]

Please. Put the phone down.

Jack

No. You're done keeping me on this island.

[Thumbs back the hammer] I will kill you if I have to.

Jack

Then do it.

Jack!

[Locke hesitates then lowers the gun]

[Sadly] Jack, you're not supposed to do this.

[Locke leaves as Jack answers the phone]

Hey.

Jack

Hey.

[after a pause] Saw you on the news. Still pulling people out of burning wreckage, huh.

Jack

Old habits.

You look terrible.

Jack

[laughs] Thanks.

Why'd you call me, Jack?

Jack

[displaying the as-yet unknown obituary] I was hoping that you heard... that you would go to the funeral.

...Why would I go to the funeral?

Jack

[after a long pause] Been flying a lot.

What?

Jack

That golden pass they gave us? Been using it. Every Friday night I fly from L.A. to Tokyo... or Singapore... or Sydney. I get off... have a drink... fly home.

...why?

Jack

Because I want it to crash, Kate. I don't care about anyone else on board. Every little bump we hit, turbulence... I actually close my eyes, and I pray... I pray that I can go back.

This is not going to change...

Jack

No, I'm sick of lying. We made a mistake.

I have to go. He's going to be wondering where I am.

Jack

We were not supposed to leave.

Yes, we were. [she begins to leave and get in the car]

Jack

We have to go back, Kate. [the car pulls away] We have to go back!

[A plane takes off behind Jack as the episode ends]

[Upon seeing Locke, Jack immediately attacks him, beating him to the ground. Locke goes for his gun, but Jack grabs it away and aims it him. The group looks on, shocked.]

You won't shoot me, Jack. Anymore than I was gonna-[Is cut off when Jack pulls the trigger. But nothing happens.]

[Amazed] It's not loaded...

[Jack begins to continue beating Locke before he is pulled off by Sawyer and Sayid]

Jack

Let go of me![To Sayid] Do you know what he did?!

Yes, I know what he did!

All I did, all I have ever done, has been in the best interests of all of us.

Jack

Are you insane!?

I know I have a lot of explaining to do. But I never did anything to hurt any of you. I even risked my life to tell you there was a traitor in your midst.[Points at Juliet]

Jack

She helped us, John. All you ever did was blow up every chance we've had of getting off of this Island! You killed Naomi.

Well, technically, he didn't kill her. Yet.

[Just arriving] Yes he did. She just died. She didn't give you up, John. She covered for us, and she fixed this.[Hands Jack the phone] They're on their way.

She didn't cover for anyone. She wants her people to come here. And trust me, when they do we had all better be far away from here. I'm going to the Barracks. The Others abandoned them. It's the only place on the Island with any form of security, so it'll have to do until I can think of something else. Until then, if you wanna live, you need to come with me.

Jack

No one's going anywhere with you, John. Because they're not crazy.

[teary eyed] He's not crazy! What about Charlie? Charlie went down to that place so we could all be rescued. And whatever he did down there, it worked. But then something must have happened. He must have heard something before he...[Becomes overwhelemed with emotion] I don't know why, but he changed his mind. Because the last thing he did was warn us that the people on that boat are not who they said they were. So I'm not listening to you! I'm listening to my friend. I'm listening to Charlie.

Jack

Do you ever miss?

Jack.

Jack

Yeah, I was on my way back from a consult. Thought I'd drop by and pay you a visit. Horse?

You're on. So consult huh? Does that mean you're back doing surgical stuff? (Jack starts playing basketball with Hurley)

Jack

Yeah. (Hurley shoots and scores. Jack shoots and misses) H

Reporters leaving you alone? (Hurley shoots and scores)

Jack

Yeah. Still have to sign some autographs when I go out for coffee. Thinking about growing a beard. (He shoots and misses again)

You'd look weird with a beard, dude. That's H O. So, what are you really doing here, Jack?

Jack

I was just checking on ya, seeing if everything was ok.

Checking to see if I was nuts, if I was gonna tell.

Jack

Are you?

You're up.

Jack

Nah, you win. I, er, I gotta run. It was great seeing you Hurley. (Jack starts to leave)

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I went with Locke. I should have stayed with you.

Jack

Its water under the bridge, man.

I don't think we did the right thing, Jack. I think it wants us to come back.

Jack

Hurley.

And its going to do everything it can...

Jack

(Shouts) We're never going back!(Jack heads for the door)

Never say never, dude.

Jack

You need to put the guns down.

What?

Jack

Put the guns down.

Now why would I do that?

Jack

Because our friends are out in the jungle right holding a gun at your head and his head, so I'm gonna forget about the misunderstanding, just put the guns down!

Come on, how stupid do you think I-

[Several shots ring out, and Juliet and Sayid come out the bushes with guns aimed at Miles and Daniel. Kate grabs Daniel's gun and aims it at him, but Miles continues to hold his]

Jack

I don't know, Miles. How stupid are you?

Kinda sucks, huh?

Jack

What's that?

Being told not to come along. (Jack chuckles) Now you know what it feels like to be me.

Jack

Does that mean I should wait twenty minutes and go anyway? (Both laugh.)

(smiling) Touché.

Jack

Hey. Are you all right? [He touches Juliets face]

He wanted me to kill them. Ben. He sent Harper to tell me to kill them.

Jack

How could he possibly tell you that?

I don't know! But he knew how to get to me. Don't you see? These people came here to wage war against Ben. And Ben's going to win. And when he does you don't want to be anywere near me.

Jack

[Quietly]: Why not?

[Pause]: Because he thinks that I'm his. And he knows how I feel about you.

[Jack walks up to Juliet, and kisses her]

Jack

He knows where to find me.

Jack

- Hello?

JJane (The Secretary)

Dr. Shephard? Just confirming your 11:00 consult with Ms. Berenberg. It was moved up yesterday, and I know how you are with your calendar.

Jack

Yeah. Yeah, I remember, Jane. I'll, um... I'll be in there.

JJane (The Secretary)

Thank you, doctor.

Jack

All right. Bye.

Jack

A-rod...

?[...]

Jack

Mornin'.

Morning yourself. I bought you a razor.

Jack

What, you don't like the scruff?

[Laughs softly] Razor's by the sink, Jack.

[Jack picks a towel for her]

[They kiss]

You're a natural.

Jack

Yeah?

Yeah.

Jack

My old man used to read me that story.

Really?

Jack

What?

It's just... it's just sweet hearing you say nice things about your dad.

Jack

I don't say nice things about my dad? Well, he was a good storyteller. I'll give him that.

[He comes closer]

Jack

You okay?

Just,I...I love seeing you with him. I'm so glad you changed your mind. I'm so glad that you're here.

Jack

Me too.

[They kiss and Jack carries Kate to the bedroom]

Jack

Hey, Hurley.

Hey, Jack.

Jack

Why aren't you taking your meds?

'Cause we're dead... all of us. All the oceanic six. We're all dead. We never got off that island.

Jack

Hurley... that is not true.

What'd you do today?

Jack

What did I do today? I,uh... [Sighs] I woke up, took a shower. Uh, Kate and I fed the baby.

I thought you didn't want anything to do with Aaron.

Jack

I changed my mind after the trial.

Living with Kate... taking care of Aaron... it all seems so perfect... just like heaven.

Jack

Just because I'm happy doesn't mean that this isn't real, Hurley.

I was happy, too, Jack... for a while, anyway. Then I saw Charlie. He likes to sit with me on the bench out on the front lawn. It's pretty cool, actually.

Jack

Okay. [Sighs] so what do the two of you talk about?

Well, yesterday, he told me you were gonna be coming by. He wanted me to give you a message.

Jack

A message?

[Opens the drawer] He made me write it down so I wouldn't mess it up. "You're not supposed to raise him, Jack" Does that make any sense?

Jack

No, that...doesn't make any sense.

Do you think he means Aaron?

Jack

Take your meds, Hurley. Just take them.

Hey, Jack? Charlie said someone's gonna be visiting you, too. Soon.
