Lost · Season 6
Why aren't you afraid?
Excuse me?
You're out here in the jungle, alone, with me. No one else on earth knows you're here. So I wanna know, why aren't you afraid?
What's the point in being afraid? [MIB looks slightly intimidated, before smiling and then throwing Desmond down the well they were standing beside]
A while back, Jacob told me what the Island was, and if he's really standing here right next to me, then just ask him.
I don't have to prove anything to you, Richard. You either come with me or you can keep trying to blow stuff up. Your call, dude.
He's lying. Jacob isn't telling us what to do. Because Jacob never tells us what to do. I'm going to make this simple. If that thing leaves the island, that's it. I-it's over.
What's over?
Everything.
[Jack and The Man in Black are meeting for the first time]
You look just like him.
Does it bother you?
No, what bothers me is I have no idea what the hell you are.
Sure you do.
Why John Locke?
Because he was stupid enough to believe he had been brought here for a reason. Because he pursued that belief until it got him killed. And because you were kind enough to bring his body back here in a nice little wooden box.
And he had to be dead before you could look like him?
That's right.
And who else have you looked like?
Jack, what do you really want to ask me?
Our third day here, I chased my father through the jungle, my dead father. Was that you?
Yes, that was me.
Why?
You needed to find water. Jack, I know this must be hard for you to understand, but all I've ever tried to do is help you.
To "help me?" To do what?
Leave! But because Jacob chose you you were trapped on this Island, before you even got here. Now Jacob's dead, we don't need to be trapped here. We can get on a plane and fly away anytime we want.
If we could just get on a plane and fly away, why would you even still be here?
Because it has to be all of us.
[Jack still looks uncertain]
What?
John Locke was the only one of us who ever believed in this place. He did everything he could to keep us from leaving this Island.
John Locke was not a believer, Jack. He was a sucker.
Were you following us, Claire?
Yeah,
Why?
[Looking at Jack] Because he's my brother.
Looks like you two have a lot of catching up to do. I'll leave you to it.
Claire, I'm-- I'm sorry we--
Did he tell you? That he was the one pretending to be our father?
Yeah, he did.
You know I pretty much gave up hoping that any of you would come back. And now that you're here...it's good to see you, Jack.
Yeah, it's good to see you too.
Well, I've never had much in the way of family so it really means a lot that you're coming with us.
Actually, I haven't decided if I'm coming with you.
Yeah you have.
What do you mean?
You decided the moment you let him talk to you, just like the rest of us. So, whether you like it or not, you're with him now.
[Zoe, Widmore's associate, enters The Man in Black's camp]
What can I do for you?
You took something from us. We want him back.
I don't know what you're talking about.
[Zoe goes for her walkie, MIB's people take aim on her]
No, no, it's okay.
[On her walkie] Show them what we're capable of.
[A few seconds later, a mortar round lands behind The Man in Black, causing an explosion. He doesn't even twitch, unimtimidated. Zoe gives him a walkie]
You can call us on that when you're ready to return what you took.
[Zoe leaves. The Man in Black drops the walkie and crushes it with his stick]
Well, here we go.
[The group are on the sailboat to Hydra Island]
This doesn't feel right.
What doesn't feel right?
Leaving The Island.
Wanna me why not?
Because I remember how I felt the last time I left. Like a part of me was missing.
They got pills for that, doc.
We were brought here because we were supposed to do something, James. And if Locke-- if that thing wants us to leave, maybe it's because he's afraid of what happens if we stay.
Get off my damn boat.
What?
You got a choice to make and you make it now. Either you're with you and you keep that damn crazy talk to yourself or you're going in the water.
James this is a mistake, and I know there's a part of you that feels that. The Island isn't done with us.
Yeah, well I'm done with this Island. So if you wanna take a leap of faith, take it. Get off my damn boat.
[Pause] I'm sorry I got Juliet killed. [Jack jumps off the boat]
[After Widmore attacks with mortars, The Man in Black carries a wounded Jack into the jungle]
Don't worry, Jack. Everything's going to be okay. You're with me, now.
I need for you to trust me.
Why should I trust you?
Because I could kill you, Jack. Right here, right now. And I could kill every single one of your friends, and there is not a thing you could do to stop me. But instead of killing you, I saved your life, and now I want to save them too.
Are you sure you won't reconsider, Jack?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Well whoever told you that you need to stay had no idea what they were talking about.
John Locke told me that I needed to stay. [pushes the Man in Black in the water]
Wait. [stops Sayid from pulling the wires out of the C4]
What the hell are you doing Doc?
Nothing is going to happen.
What?
Don't pull those wires out. We're going to be OK. Nothing is going to happen.
If I don't pull these wires, Locke is going to blow us to kingdom come.
No he's not! Locke can't kill us.
Uhh, what?
This is what he wanted. This has been what he has been waiting for. Everything that he has done has been to get us here. He wanted to get us all at the same place at the same time in a nice enclosed space where we had no hopes of getting out.
I don't understand.
Locke said that he couldn't leave the Island without us. I think that he can't leave the Island unless we're all dead. He told me that he could kill any one of us whenever he wanted, so what if he hasn't because he's not allowed to? What if he's trying to get us to kill each other?
Stay out of my way Doc.
If he wanted that thing to blow up, why did he put a timer on it? Why not just throw it inside?
I don't care.
Nothing is going to happen.
It's not your decision to make.
He can't kill us!
I'm not going to stand here and do nothing!
James... We are going to be OK. You just have to trust me.
Sorry Doc, I don't. [pulls the wires from the C4 and the clock then speeds up]
Listen carefully. There's a well on the main Island a half mile south from where we were just left. Desmond is inside it. Locke wants him dead, which means you are going to need him. Do you understand me?
Now why are you telling me this?
Because it is going to be you Jack. [Takes the bomb and runs]
Sayid!
[Sayid gets to the front of the sub, away from the others, and the bomb goes off, killing him.]
[Looking out at sea] It sunk...
You mean the sub? But everyone was on board. What, they're all dead?
Not all of them.
[MIB grabs a rifle and his pack and starts off into the night]
Wait, where are you going?
To finish what I started.
Every question I answer will simply lead to another question.
What is it?
It's a game. You play it.
How do you know how?
I just know.
Jacob doesn't know how to lie. He's not like you.
Why, what am I like?
You're... special.
