[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?
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.
[Locke hesitates then lowers the gun]
[Sadly] Jack, you're not supposed to do this.
[Locke leaves as Jack answers the phone]
Jack
Hey.
[after a pause] Saw you on the news. Still pulling people out of burning wreckage, huh.
Jack
Old habits.
Jack
[laughs] Thanks.
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.
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.
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?!
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
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?
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)
[Jack and Danielle are tracking Naomi with Ben]
The blood trail ends here.
Jack Shephard
What do you mean?
Jack Shephard
You're telling me she stopped bleeding here?
No. I'm telling you that she fooled us. Doubled back.
Better call the boat. Tell em she's getting a real big bundle of firewood.
Jack
You need to put the guns down.
Jack
Put the guns down.
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?
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
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]
Jack
Yeah?
Jack
My old man used to read me that story.
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.
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.
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.
