Lost · Season 5
Which one of you is Ricardus?
It's Richard, actually.
What lies in the shadow of the statue?
Ille qui nos omnes servabit.
Richard...I'm Ilana. I have something you need to see. [to her crew] Open it up.
[The Others cock their guns.]
It--it's okay. It's okay. Let them.
[Ilana's team turns over the crate. It contains John Locke's body.]
[stunned] Where did you find him?
In the cargo hold of the plane we came here on...in a coffin.
I don't understand. If this is Locke... who's in there?
[Disguised as Locke] Hello, Jacob.
...Guess you found your loophole.
Indeed, I did. And you have no idea what I've gone through to be here.
You two know each other?
In a manner of speaking. Do what I asked you to, Benjamin.
Benjamin, whatever he's told you, I want you to understand one thing: you have a choice.
What choice?
You can do what he asks, or you can go, leave us to discuss our... issues.
Oh... so now, after all this time... you've decided to stop ignoring me. Thirty-five years I lived on this island, and all I ever heard was your name, over and over. Richard would bring me your instructions, all those slips of paper, all those lists... and I never questioned anything. I did as I was told. But when I dared to ask to see you myself, I was told, "You have to wait. You have to be patient." But when he asks to see you, he gets marched up here as if he was Moses. So why him? Hmm? What was it that was so wrong with me? What about me?
[spitefully] What about you?
...Ah. Well... [He stabs Jacob twice in the chest and watches as he falls to the ground]
[Quietly] They're coming...
What? I can't hear ya.
They're coming!
[With this, The Man in Black looks alarmed. He then kicks Jacob into the fire and he and Ben watch him burn]
Wait, Juliet, we've got to talk about this!
There's nothing to talk about, James. We have to let Jack do what he came here to do.
Well maybe you should have told me about your change of heart before I brought him out to the jungle to kick his ass!
Would that have stopped you?
No -
Well, then, I'm glad you got it out of your system.
Hey! Ju - [He makes to grab her]
[She pulls away] No, James, don't you -
[He backs off, shocked] ...I need you to tell me where all of this is coming from. One minute you're leading the Great Sub Escape and now you're on board with blowing up the damn island?!
I -
I got a right to know why you changed your mind.
...I changed my mind when I saw you look at her.
I don't care who I looked at. I'm with you.
...And you'd stay with me forever, if I let you, which is why... I will always love you. And we knew what we had was just for a little while, and - and just because we love each other doesn't mean that we're meant to be together, so if... if Jack can make it so that you guys never come here, then... he should.
[upset] ...Why are you doing this, Juliet?
[sadly] I... if I never meet you... then I never have to lose you. [She leaves]
I've been working on this project for six years. Designing a station that'll be able to manipulate electromagnetism in ways we only dreamed of.
Have you thought about the consequences of drilling into that pocket? We have no idea what we are gonna --
If Edison was only worried about the consequences, we'd all still be sitting in the dark. I came to this Island to change the world, Pierre; that's exactly what I intend to do.
Over, uh, twenty years ago, a man named John Locke, he walked right into our camp. And he told me that he was going to be our leader. Now I've gone off the Island three times, to visit him. But he never seemed particularly special to me.
You said you had a question.
You know him? Locke?
Yeah. Yeah, I know him. And if I were you, I wouldn't give up on him.
[as John Locke] Do you mind if I ask you a question?
I'm a Pisces.
What happened that day at the cabin? When you first took me to meet Jacob?
Well, you clearly already know that I was talking to an empty chair, John. That I was pretending. Which is not to say that I wasn't as surprised as you were when things started flying around the room.
But why would go to all the trouble to make something like that up?
I was embarrassed. I didn't want you to know that I had never seen Jacob. So yes, I lied. That's what I do.
Alright, then.
Why do you want me to kill Jacob, John?
Because, despite your loyal service to this Island, you got cancer. You had to watch your own daughter gunned down right in front of you. And your reward for those sacrifices? You were banished. And you did all this in the name of a man you'd never even met. So the question is, Ben, why the hell wouldn't you want to kill Jacob?
[Ben and the Man in Black try to follow Richard into the statue]
W--what are you doing?
John wants me to join him.
You can't bring him in.
[as John Locke] Why not?
Because only our leader can request an audience with Jacob, and there can only be one leader on the Island at a time, John.
I'm beginning to think you just make these rules up as you go along, Richard.
[to Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Juliet, Hurley, Jin and Sayid] Has it occurred to any of you that your buddy's actually gonna cause the thing he says he's trying to prevent? Perhaps that little nuke is the incident? So maybe the best thing to do... is nothing? [No-one responds] I'm glad you all thought this through.
[about his tapestry] You like it? I did it myself. It takes a very long time when you're making the thread, but, uh... I suppose that's the point, isn't it?
