“The Brig” · Season 3, Episode 19
In this episode: Sawyer Ford (4), Anthony Cooper (3), John Locke (2), Ben Linus (1), Hurley Reyes (1), Richard Alpert (1)
[Ben leads Locke to where Anthony Cooper, his father, is tied up. The Others looks on]
[Hands Locke a knife] I know it won't be easy. But the quicker the better.
[After Ben ungags him] You're kidding me, right? You expect him to kill me?
John, the hesitation you're feeling is just the part of you that still feels that he has a perfectly good explanation for stealing your kidney. Throwing you out of an eight-story window. Don't you wanna be free from him?
The hesitation he's feeling is because he is a spineless--
[Growing anxious] Shut up! I, I've gotta think...
Don't think, John.
You're wasting your time, bug-eye. Me and him have been through all of this. All he wants is his daddy.
Shut up! I SAID SHUT UP!
Let go of him, John.
Why are you doing this to me?
You're doing this to yourself. As long as he's still breathing, you will still be that same sad, pathetic little man who was kicked off of his walkabout tour because you couldn't walk!
[Flaring with anger, Locke presses his knife to Cooper's throat. Just as he is about to kill him, he turns away, humiliated]
[Mocking] I'll be here the rest of the week, John, if you change your mind.
[Ben spins and hits Cooper across the face with his cane, knocking him out. He then takes Locke's knife away and addresses The Others]
I'm sorry. He's not who we thought he was.
Guess I didn't raise no dummies.
The hell's that mean?
It means that bald headed bastard outside the door is my son.
Come again?
My son. As in I'm his father. You do speak English?
How did you get here, to the Island?
Island? OK. I'm driving down I10 through Tallahassee when bam, somebody slams into the back of my car. I go right into the divider at seventy miles an hour, the next thing I know, the paramedics are strapping me to a gurney, stuffing me into the back of an ambulance and one of them actually smiles at me as he pops the IV in my arm. And then, nothing. Just, black. And the next thing I know I wake up in a dark room tied up, gag in my mouth, and when the door opens, I'm looking up at the same man I threw out a window, John Locke. My dead son.
And he's dead cause you threw him out a window?
No he survived that. But it paralysed him, permanently. He's dead because the plane he was flying on crashed in the Pacific.
Well I got bad news for ya pops, cause I was on that plane with your son. He sure as hell wasn't crippled. And we didn't crash in the Pacific, we crashed here on this Island.
You sure its an Island?
Well what else is it?
Little hot for heaven isn't it?
[Sarcastically] Oh OK, so we're dead?
They found your plane on the bottom of the ocean. One minute I'm in a car wreck and the next minute I'm in a pirate ship in the middle of the jungle. If this isn't hell friend, then where are we?
Why did you throw Locke out a window?
He was becoming a nuisance. I conned him into giving me one of his kidneys. He never got over it.
[Pauses] Conned?
Yes sir, conned.
What's your name?
Hmm?
Your name.
A conman goes by many names friend. I've been Alan Seward, Anthony Cooper, Ted MacLaren, Tom Sawyer, Louis Jackson, and Paul...
Tom Sawyer.
I was young and Huck Finn was taken. And the ladies loved that one. Made me charming.
Well how about that.
How about what?
Sawyer's my name too
What's the matter with you?
You ever been to Jasper, Alabama?
Why?
Have you or haven't you?
Yeah I been to Jasper. Don't tell me I'm your daddy?
No. You killed my daddy.
[Sawyer gets his letter out of his pocket – the one to Mr. Sawyer]
Read it.
“Dear Mr Sawyer”. What is this?
Just read it.
“You don't know who I am, but I know who you are. And I know what you done. You had sex with my mother, and then you stole my dad's money all away, so he got angry and he killed my mother, and then he killed himself” blah blah blah blah. So what? Is this supposed to be you, you wrote this letter? Hey wait a second. Did you take my name because you were on some kind of revenge kick?
Keep reading.
Easy, easy, don't get all worked up. Look, I ran that con two dozen times. If your mother was one of the...
Mary. Her name was Mary.
Mary from Jasper, Alabama. Yeah, I remember her. She practically begged me to take her thirty-eight thousand dollars and to rescue her from her sorry little life.
You finish the letter.
Look, I only took her money. It ain't my fault your dad overreacted. If he pulled the old murder suicide then I'm sure he's down here somewhere. Er, maybe you could take this up with him...
FINISH IT!!!
OK. OK.
[He rips up the letter into pieces, and Sawyer attacks him, choking him with the chains around the room]
You wanna go to hell? You wanna go to hell!!
[Cooper chokes and Sawyer keeps pulling until he stops moving and kills him. He then releases him.]
Ben knew you weren't gonna kill your own father. He put you in front of everyone in our camp just so they could all watch you fail.
Why?
Cause when word got back here that there was a man with a broken spine on the plane who could suddenly walk again, well, people here began to get very excited because that, that could only happen to someone who was extremely special. But Ben doesn't want anyone to think you're special, John.
And why are you telling me this?
Ben has been wasting our time with novelties like fertility problems. We're looking for someone to remind us that we're here for more important reasons.
What do you want from me?
I want for you to find your purpose. And to do that, your father has to go, John. And since you're not gonna do it, I'm gonna suggest someone else.
