EPISODE 318 SYNOPSIS
D.O.C.
Sun works in her garden.Jack joins her and asks questions about her pregnancy.Routine check-up questions at first& and then he asks if there's been any bleeding.Jack maintains he's just checking in, but Sun is clearly disturbed.Sun goes to Kate and asks if she thinks Jack seems different since he's come back.She believes Jack may be working for the Others.She tells Kate that Jack was asking about her baby, and she is worried the Others want it.Kate insists Jack's not working with the Others.Sun is suspicious that Kate knows more.Reluctantly, Kate tells her that Juliet was the Others' fertility doctor and they wanted Claire's baby for research.Sun immediately goes to Juliet and demands answers.Juliet reveals women who get pregnant on the island die.Sun is horrified.

Flashback to Seoul, Korea, and Sun talking on her cell phone with Jin.They've just moved into their new apartment, and Sun strolls through a park holding shopping bags.After she tells Jin "I love you madly" and hangs up, an older woman asks if she's the woman in a wedding announcement in the paper.
Sun says yes.The older woman asks how Sun hid the truth about Jin from her father.If it were known that the daughter of a Paik married the son of a fisherman and a prostitute, it would bring much shame on Sun's family.She demands $100,000 in three days.If Sun loves Jin as "madly" as she says, she'll spare him the shame of the truth being exposed.

One the island, the parachute woman wakes up and mumbles that she's dying.They find a tree branch impaled up through her chest.Charlie wants to simply pull the branch out of her chest, but Desmond says no, that might cause more damage.They argue about whether to take her to the camp or run and bring back Jack when - KA-POOF! Hurley fires a flare gun he found in the woman's pack.Suddenly Mikhail bursts out of the jungle.But the moment Mikhail sees the group, he bolts.Jin tackles him, and they drag him back.

At the beach camp, Juliet tells Sun there may be hope for her yet.Sun agrees to follow Juliet to the medical station where Juliet will try to ascertain the date of conception.
Sun wants to know why Juliet is helping her.Juliet tells her she used to give women good news about their pregnancies and see the happiness on their faces.However, in the last three years she's lost nine women on the island.She wants to give good news again.Sun admits that she slept with another man before she got to the island and fears the baby is not Jin's but the other man's.Juliet's only comment is we all make mistakes.

Flashback to a small Korean fishing village.Sun approaches an elderly man and asks if he is Mr.Kwon.He instantly knows who she is and invites her into his modest house.He explains that Jin's mother was with many men.She left him with the baby, and he didn't even know if he was the father.He raised Jin as his own because who else would care for Jin?He implores Sun to never tell Jin his mother is still alive.He tells her Jin would never recover from the shame.Sun decides to go to her father and ask for the hundred thousand dollars.Mr.Paik wants to know why she needs it, but Sun refuses to tell him.
For the past 27 years, she's pretended not to know what he does, and if he gives her the money she'll continue to pretend.Paik gives her the money, but his price is that Jin has to work off the debt.He'll work for Paik personally.Sun immediately knows the implications.It's a deal with the devil, but she takes it and seals Jin's fate.

On the island, the parachute woman mumbles again that she's dying.Mikhail offers his services as an ex-army medic to save her but only in exchange for safe passage to leave.Desmond agrees, but Charlie, Jin and Hurley are very wary of the deal.Mikhail examines her, and says the branch has punctured her lung, which is filling with blood.She needs to be ventilated immediately.Using supplies from their first aid kit, Mikhail evacuates her lungs and rips the branch out of her chest.As he bandages her up, she mumbles something in another language.Desmond asks what she said.Mikhail takes a beat and says that she said thank you.Desmond doesn't quite buy it, and neither do Jin, Charlie and Hurley.
As the parachute woman falls asleep, Mikhail says she'll be better in a day.They keep their agreement and allow Mikhail to leave - but Jin realizes Mikhail has stolen the sat-phone.He tackles Mikhail and takes it back.Desmond lets Mikhail go over Charlie's protests.

In the medical station, Juliet reveals a secret room behind the locker area.This is where they stored all the medical equipment from the station.Sun asks why the room was hidden, and Juliet admits they brought the women there to die.Worried, Sun tells Juliet Jin was infertile so the baby couldn't be his.Juliet performs an ultrasound& and determines the D.O.C.was 53 days ago.Sun got pregnant on the island.Sun immediately knows what that means.Juliet promises to do whatever she can& but Sun is smiling.The baby is Jin's.

Flashback to Sun and Jin's Seoul apartment.Jin returns home and finds the cash Mr.Paik gave her.Sun lies and says it was to buy new furniture and have a nice honeymoon.Jin wants her to return it.He says he'll take care of her no matter what.
Sun nods, but leaves to meet the older woman.Sun gives her the money and warns her never to come near her family or Jin again& or she'll have the older woman killed.The older woman understands and hurries off.

On the island, Sun asks Juliet how long she has.Juliet says most of the women made it to the middle of their second trimester.That gives Sun two months.Juliet goes back inside to double check the results and to cover their tracks.Inside, she opens one of the lockers and takes out a tape recorder.She clicks it on  and then records a message to Ben: Kwon is pregnant and conceived on the island.She should have Kate's and the other women's samples soon.She clicks stop& and then mutters, "I hate you."

Charlie and Jin build a makeshift stretcher.Charlie tells Desmond you can't trust the Others.They should've killed Mikhail.But Desmond points out that by his count they have killed more of the Others than the Others have killed of them.Charlie doesn't see it that way.Hurley tries the sat-phone again, but it's still broken. Then the parachute woman wakes up.They explain they are the survivors of the Oceanic flight 815 crash.Naomi is confused and says it's not possible.Flight 815 was found& and there were no survivors.They were all dead.

At the beach camp, Sayid talks to the parachute woman.She says her name is Naomi Dorrit, and that her freighter is about eighty nautical miles west of the island.She's part of the search-and-rescue team.She tells Sayid that flight 815 was found in a trench four miles deep.They sent down a camera and saw all the bodies there.Sayid says it's obvious they're not dead.Who was she looking for?Naomi points to Desmond.The company she works for was hired by Penelope Widmore, whom she never met.A few weeks ago Ms.Widmore gave them a set of coordinates that were in the middle of the ocean.They didn't know about the island.

Naomi gives Sayid her sat-phone.
He tries to fix it, but he says he's never seen equipment that sophisticated.He gets it working, and they pick up Rousseau's distress signal.However, Sayid realizes it is blocking the ability to send a transmission of their own.Kate walks by, sees the phone and asks about it.Sayid tells her about Naomi.

Locke leads Sawyer to the Black Rock.He says he has Ben tied up in the brig.Locke opens the door, and sure enough there's a man tied up with a bag over his head.However, when Sawyer goes inside the brig, Locke slams the door shut.Sawyer bangs on the door, but Locke won't let him out.

Cooper believes they're in hell, but Sawyer tells him they're on an island.Cooper tells them they're all dead, that they found the plane at the bottom of the ocean.Cooper goes on to tell Sawyer that he conned Locke into giving him one of his kidneys and Locke never got over it.Sawyer just looks at him.Conned?Sawyer asks Cooper his name.Cooper says a con man goes by many names.He lists them, and at the name Tom Sawyer, Sawyer stops him.He tells Cooper his name is Sawyer, too.

WHOOSH back two days ago.Richard Alpert tells Locke that the point of Ben's exercise was to embarrass him.Ben knew Locke wasn't going to kill his own father.He doesn't want people to think that John is special.Alpert says that Ben was been wasting their time with fertility problems, and that they are looking for someone to remind them they are here for more important reasons.Alpert wants to help Locke find his purpose, and to do that Cooper has to go.And since Locke can't do it& He hands Locke the file on Sawyer and tells him to read it.

EPISODE 321 SYNOPSIS
Greatest Hits
Jack and Juliet lead the beach camp into the jungle.Jack tells them that he knows what Ben's plan is and he has a way to fight back.Rousseau connects two wires to a battery and KA-BOOM! A nearby tree explodes.Jack explains that Juliet is going to mark the tents with white rocks as instructed by Ben, but when the Others come there isn't going to be anyone inside the tents.They'll be filled with dynamite from the Black Rock, and they're going to blow the Others to hell.Charlie catches Desmond looking at him strangely and knows he just saw a flash but Desmond denies it.

As everyone prepares for the attack, Naomi asks Charlie who are the people they are going to war with.Charlie tells her it's a long story.He tells her that he's also from Manchester like she is and that he was in a band called Drive Shaft.The name rings a bell for Naomi and realizes Charlie is the dead rock star.She tells him that Drive Shaft put out a new album, a "Greatest Hits" thing, after the accident.

Sayid tells Jack he hasn't been able to transmit with the sat-phone because Rousseau's distress signal is overriding the frequency.
Since Naomi's boat is only eighty miles off shore, he wants to go to the radio tower and turn off the message.That will allow her boat to receive the sat-phone signal.But Juliet says no, they won't - Ben is using a Dharma station to jam all signals from the island with a station called the Looking Glass.

Desmond reveals to Charlie that he did have a vision.He saw Claire and Aaron getting into a helicopter that lifts off and leaves the island.Charlie is excited.But Desmond tells Charlie for there to be any rescue, Charlie has to die.Charlie asks how.Desmond describes a room full of equipment.There's a blinking yellow light, and Charlie flips a switch.The light goes out - and then he drowns.Charlie wants to make sure if he does that, if he puts himself in danger, Claire and Aaron really do get on that helicopter and off the island.Desmond assures him they do.

Sayid shows Jack and Juliet a schematic of the Looking Glass station from the folder he took out of the Flame Station.
Juliet says the Looking Glass station was used to guide the sub back and forth, but there was some accident and Ben said it was flooded.Sayid points out that if they follow the cable out into the ocean, it should lead to the station.It has a "moon pool" which he can swim through, get inside and disable the relay switch.Jack says no, it's a suicide mission.There's no way to get back.Sayid says if they don't, they'll never get off this island.

And then Charlie volunteers to do it.He'll swim down and turn off the switch.Jack says no.Charlie tells him he was the junior swim champion of Northern England.He can hold his breath for four minutes.Jack says there's no reason to do it now.They can deal with it after they take care of the Others.

Rousseau realizes they don't have enough wire to trigger the dynamite safely from a distance, and Jack gets a group together to start stripping wire from the plane wreckage.As they are stripping wire, they notice someone sailing towards the beach.
A guy leaps out of the boat and runs ashore.Sayid tackles him, but Sawyer recognizes that it's Karl.He tells them he is okay - Karl was prisoner in the cage next to him.Karl tells them the Others are coming - not tomorrow night but right now!

People are worried.Rousseau says there's not enough time or wire to set up the dynamite.Sayid suggests they shoot the dynamite.They'll need three sharp shooters.Jack decides they also can't risk losing their chance to contact Naomi's boat.He orders everyone to leave the camp and make for the radio tower.He turns to Charlie and asks if he's still up for a swim.Charlie says yes, and Claire is suddenly worried for him.Jin and Bernard volunteer to be the shooters along with Sayid.Jack wants to be the third shooter, but Sayid tells him he can't - he's got to lead the group to the radio tower.

Charlie says his good-bye to Claire.She knows he is volunteering for something dangerous and doesn't want him doing it.Charlie lies and says everything is going to be all right.
He'll be with her at the radio tower before she knows it.He kisses her one last time and walks away knowing he'll never see her again.As everyone in the beach camp gathers their things to head out, Claire lifts Aaron out of his crib - and doesn't see Charlie's D.S.ring.He left it for her and Aaron, passing it along to his "family."

Charlie and Desmond row out to the point where the cable goes straight down into the ocean.They're over the Looking Glass station.Charlie then hands a list to Desmond and asks him to give it to Claire.It's the five best moments of his life, his own greatest hits:

5) The first time he heard himself on the radio.On a deserted road in England, Drive Shaft's van has a flat and Charlie is changing the tire in the rain.Charlie argues with Liam, saying the band is a joke.They're broke and no one is buying their album.Charlie tells Liam he quits - but then they hear "You All Everybody" on the radio for the first time.Hearing his words and his voice is almost too much to comprehend.
Unbridled joy whips through the guys, and all thoughts of quitting are forgotten.

4) Dad teaching him to swim at Butlin's.At a summer camp, a nervous young Charlie stands at the edge of a pool while his gruff dad tells him to jump in, he'll catch him.Liam warns Charlie their dad won't.Then his dad's voice turns gentle and soothing.Charlie jumps in, and his dad does catch him.Charlie swims with his dad's help, laughing and utterly delighted.

3) The Christmas Liam gave him the D.S.ring.Christmas morning on their Finland tour, Liam gives Charlie the D.S.ring as a gift.The ring is a family heirloom passed down through generations and given to Liam by their mom because Liam was the first born.The initials D.S.stood for their ancestor, and it's why they named their band Drive Shaft.Charlie says he can't take it but Liam insists.He acknowledges that he's a junky and a mess and he'll be lucky to make it to thirty.Liam says Charlie is different.Charlie is going to get married and have a family, and the ring has to stay within the family.
Liam wants Charlie to take it because he'll know it's safe.Charlie is clearly touched.

2) Woman outside Covent Garden calls him a hero.While trying to avoid a downpour, Charlie hears a woman being mugged scream for help.He runs in and hits the mugger with his guitar case.The mugger releases the woman and runs away.Charlie admits he was scared.The woman says he's a hero, that three other people walked by and didn't help her.Charlie tries to dismiss it, but she's insistent.He's a hero, and don't let anybody ever tell him differently.Charlie is deeply moved.

1) The night he met Claire.On the night of the crash, Charlie sees a pregnant woman struggling to get comfortable by a fire.He is struck for a moment, and then he approaches her with a blanket.He can see she's clearly worried, and he tells her they're going to be all right.Charmed, she thanks him.They smile at each other.There is chemistry between them, and it's the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Desmond is touched by the list and offers to dive down in Charlie's place and flip the switch.
Charlie pretends to go along with this change of plans but then knocks Desmond out with an oar.He says they both know Desmond isn't suppose to take his place.Charlie stuffs his greatest hits list in Desmond's pocket, grabs the weight belt, takes a deep breath, wipes away his tears and jumps into the ocean.

With the weight belt, Charlie drops quickly.He swims along the underside of the station looking for the moon pool entrance.He finds it, swims up into it - and surfaces into the station.He sucks in air and then realizes it isn't flooded.Juliet was wrong.And more importantly, Charlie is alive! But then he hears a door open and sees two women enter.And they have guns pointed right at him.

Jack leads the group out.Sayid, Jin and Bernard remain behind, take their positions, and wait.

In the Looking Glass station, Charlie is tied to a chair and Bonnie beats him as they interrogate him.Greta asks, Who is he?Is he alone?How'd he get down there?Charlie only tells them that Juliet told them, that she's one of them now.Greta tells Bonnie they have to call Ben.They go into the communications room, and Charlie sees a blinking yellow light.He smiles - it's the light he has to turn off.

Bonnie radios Ben on the walkie.He immediately asks why she's breaking radio silence, and she tells him Charlie swam down and they have him tied up.It was Juliet who told his group about the station.Ben can't believe this.He tells her he's sending help.He clicks off and orders Mikhail to go to the Looking Glass station.Mikhail is surprised - Ben had told them it was flooded and inoperable.Ben says he lied.Mikhail asks if Juliet told them about the station, what else did she tell them about?
Ben immediately tries to get Pryce on the walkie, but Pryce and his team have reached the camp and turned their walkies off.Everything in the camp looks normal.Diane returns and tells Pryce that Juliet marked the tents like she said she would.Diane, Matthew and Luke creep up to the first tent.Friendly, Ivan and Grimes approach the second tent.Sayid and Bernard take aim, but Jin can't - the third team isn't close to the tent he is covering.Diane looks inside a tent and warns them that it's empty.Sayid shoots - KA-BOOM! The tent, Diane, Matthew and Luke explode in a huge fireball.

Ivan and Grimes are ripped to pieces while Friendly is blown back.Jin shoots but he hits the sand.Pryce warns the Others that they're in the tree line.Jin shoots an Other in the chest.Then Pryce slams Jin in the back of the head with the butt of his rifle, and Jin drops.
Pryce grabs Jin and uses him as a shield.Sayid aims for Pryce, but Jason comes up from behind with a gun to his head and captures him.Bernard takes off into the jungle, but then Friendly is suddenly there and BAM! Levels Bernard with a blow.Friendly calls out that he has the other one.

Jack and the rest of the group are in a high vista and look down on the beach camp.Rose points out that there were only two explosions.Kate says it didn't work.Rose and Sun are frightened.Jack assures them that everything is fine.Sun wants to wait for Sayid, Jin and Bernard to join them, but Jack says no.They have to keep moving.

WHOOSH to Jack at St.Sebastian hospital.A nurse stitches a cut on his forehead when Sarah walks in - she's still listed as his emergency contact.She asks him if he's drinking again, but Jack becomes belligerent and won't answer.Jack asks for a ride home, but she says no.She says she's glad he's okay and leaves.

WHOOSH to the Looking Glass station.Charlie seems unconcerned about his situation.

Out on the ocean in the outrigger, Desmond comes to as bullets riddle the boat.What?In the distance he sees Mikhail shooting at him! Realizing he's a sitting duck, Desmond dives into the ocean and swims down to the Looking Glass station.
He burst up through the moon pool, gasping for air and surprised to see Charlie tied to a chair.Charlie quickly warns him to hide, and Desmond jumps into a locker as Bonnie and Greta come back to investigate the noise.

WHOOSH to Jack at the hospital checking on the woman from the bridge accident.Dr.Hamill walks in and introduces himself as the new Chief of Surgery.He calls Jack a hero twice over and says Jack was in the right place at the right time.Jack says he wants to operate on the woman first thing in the morning, but Dr.Hamill reminds Jack the woman isn't his patient.Besides, Jack has done enough.He pulled the woman's little boy out of the flaming wreckage and then went back for her.Hamill tells Jack to go home.

Juliet says she knows where there is a hidden cache with guns.She and Sawyer can go back that way and get the guns.Jack reluctantly lets them go.Juliet then leans over and kisses Jack.Kate watches.

In the Looking Glass station, Mikhail suddenly shoots up out of the moon pool.Mikhail sees Charlie and asks where the other one is.Bonnie and Great have no idea what he's talking about.Charlie asks why Ben lied to his own people about the station being flooded and why they're jamming all transmissions off the island.Mikhail reacts.He asks if that's true.Ben calls Mikhail and says everything he did was for the island.Jacob told him to do all this.Ben tells Mikhail to trust him.The jamming signal must continue functioning at all costs.Then he orders Mikhail to kill Charlie, Bonnie and Greta.

On the way back to the beach, Juliet confesses to Sawyer that there are no guns.She lied because it was the only way that Jack would let them come back.Hurley runs up and asks if he can go with them and help.
Sawyer says no, he'd just get in the way and get them killed.Hurley is heartbroken.

Cut to Locke in the mass grave struggling to reach something  he's still alive!

WHOOSH to Jack as he drives up to a funeral parlor.He calls the mystery person again and gets their automated voicemail.Frustrated, he hangs up and goes inside.It's empty.The funeral director tells Jack no one showed up, only him.Jack seems disappointed.He digs into his pocket and pulls out a prescription bottle.There's only one pill left.He swallows it and leaves, driving to a drug store.However, the pharmacist won't fill his prescription.Jack gives her another prescription, but she says he can't write a prescription or himself.
Jack says it's from his father.A customer recognizes Jack as the hero on the TV.He tells the pharmacist to give Jack whatever he needs.The pharmacist says she's going to have to call Jack's father's office to confirm it, and Jack gets nervous.He says his father's out of town.The pharmacist picks up the phone, and Jack shouts for her not to bother.Angry, he blows out of the store.

In the Looking Glass station, Mikhail asks if they can turn the jamming equipment off.Greta says sure, Ben gave them the code.She and Bonnie are the only ones who have it.Mikhail asks what if the station were flooded.Greta says the casing is waterproof.It'll keep working forever.Well then.BAM! - Mikhail shoots Greta and Bonnie! Bonnie doesn't die immediately, and Mikhail tells her he's just following orders.But then Desmond flies out of the locker he was hiding in and shoots Mikhail in the chest with a speargun.Charlie tells Desmond not to kill Bonnie because they need her for the code.Charlie reasons with her, pointing out that Ben obviously told Mikhail to shoot her.
She now has an opportunity to make Ben very angry.Bonnie says the code is "Good Vibrations."The numbers correspond to the notes because the code was programmed by a musician.

As the group continues trekking, Jack tells Kate that Sawyer didn't mean what he said.He was only trying to protect her.Kate asks why Jack is defending Sawyer, and Jack simply tells her because he loves her.Kate is stunned.Then the group suddenly stops because standing in front of them are Ben and Alex.Ben tells Jack they need to talk.Jack doesn't move.Ben tells Jack that since he just killed seven of Ben's people, the least Jack could do is talk to him for five minutes.Jack reluctantly agrees.

Ben warns Jack that history is about to repeat itself.If Jack goes through with his plan to contact Naomi's boat, every person on the island will be killed.Naomi isn't who she says she is.She's a representative of the people trying to find the island.She's one of the bad guys.Ben offers Jack a deal: if Jack gives him Naomi's sat-phone, Ben will go back to his people and let Jack go back to his.
Jack says he's not going anywhere.Ben tells Jack they have Jin, Bernard and Sayid at gunpoint.He keys Friendly on the walkie and tells him that if he doesn't hear his voice in one minute to shoot them all.Ben asks for Naomi's sat-phone again.Jack refuses.Ben asks Jack why he wants to leave the island - what does Jack so desperately wants to get back to?His father is dead and his wife left him.Can Jack not wait to get back to the hospital to work?Back to fixing things?Jack won't budge.Time runs out and BLAM! BLAM! Jack hears Bernard shout, "Don't!" BLAM! Then silence.Jack attacks Ben.He punches Ben, beating him bloody.Jack grabs the walkie and tells Friendly he's going to get his people rescued, then he's coming to find him and he's going to kill him.

Jack drags Ben back to the group and orders him to be tied up.Ben sees that Rousseau can't take her eyes off Alex and introduces them.He tells Alex that Rousseau is her mother.Alex is shocked.Rousseau touches Alex's face, and then asks her to help tie Ben up.
Jack confides to Kate that Jin, Bernard and Sayid were killed and that he let it happen.He had to.But they can't tell Sun or Rose.Not yet.They have to keep moving.He promised Sayid they'd keep moving.And he brought Ben back because he wants Ben to experience the moment when they get off the island.Jack wants Ben to see it so he'll know he failed& And then Jack will kill Ben.

WHOOSH to Jack at the hospital.He's drunk, goes behind an empty nurse's station and unlocks the pill cabinet, stuffing his pockets with sample packets.He leaves and runs into Dr.Hamill.Jack says he's there to follow up on the woman's operation.Dr.Hamill says he left three messages for Jack.Didn't he get them?He asks to talk to Jack privately, but Jack tells him to say whatever he has to say right there.Dr.Hamill tells Jack that the woman woke up in recovery and told him the story of seeing Jack on the bridge about to jump.He distracted her, and that's what caused the accident.Jack rages at the doctor, asking if Hamill has any idea what he's been through.
Hamill asks Jack how much he's had to drink, and Jack explodes, telling him to call his father.Hamill feels sorry for Jack.Jack yells at Hamill not to pity him and leaves.

On the island, Sawyer and Juliet plot their attack on Friendly and Pryce - and see Sayid, Jin and Bernard who are very much alive.Sawyer hears what sounds like a car coming up behind them fast - and Hurley bursts through the jungle driving the van! Friendly, Pryce and Jason dive out of the way, shooting at the van.Hurley keeps driving and plows straight into Pryce.Jason runs up firing, but Sayid, still tied up, swings his legs out, tripping Jason, grabs him by the neck with his feet, twists and SNAP! Breaks Jason's neck.Bernard and Sawyer look at him, amazed.Juliet runs out and grabs Friendly's gun before he can reach it.Friendly gives up, but Sawyer raises his gun and BLAM! - shoots Friendly in the chest! Sawyer says that's for taking the kid off the raft.Hurley points out that Friendly had surrendered.Sawyer says he didn't believe him.
Hurley takes Friendly's walkie and uses it to warn the Others - they got the *******s, and unless the rest of them wanna be blown up, stay away from their beach.Having Ben's walkie, Jack hears Hurley's voice and calls back.Hurley tells him he's there with Sawyer and Juliet.Everyone's fine, including Sayid, Jin and Bernard.That stops Jack.What?Yeah, Hurley says.He saved them all.Kate overhears this, too.Jack tells Hurley to stay at the beach.Claire asks about Charlie, and Hurley reports that Charlie hasn't made it back yet.

In the Looking Glass station, Charlie goes into the communication room and enters the "Good Vibrations" code into the panel.The yellow light stops flashing and the hum of the equipment whines down.A slow grin spreads on Charlie's face.He didn't die - he beat Desmond's prediction.Then a light beeps, signifying an incoming transmission.On a monitor in front of him a fuzzy video fades in.Someone is asking if anyone is there.Charlie can't believe it - he's actually talking to someone in the outside world.
He quickly tells the person he is one of the survivors of flight 815.They're alive and they're on an island but he doesn't know their location.The video reception improves and Charlie recognizes that it's Penelope Widmore - Desmond's Penny.Excited, Charlie shouts for Desmond to get in there.Penny hears Desmond's name and asks if he's all right.Charlie says yeah, then asks if she's on the boat.Penny doesn't know what he's talking about.Penny's not on any boat.

And then Charlie sees Mikhail outside through a window holding a grenade.Mikhail pulls the pin.Realizing the station will flood and kill both he and Desmond, Charlie slams the pressurized door to the communications room shut and KA-THWOOM! The grenade explodes and water floods the room.Desmond grabs a fire extinguisher and tries to smash through the window in the door, but it's too thick.Desmond watches as the water rises.Charlie quickly writes a message on his hand - "not Penny's boat" - and holds it up for Desmond to read.
The room fills with water, and Charlie dies.

In the jungle, the group reaches the radio tower.Naomi notices the light on her sat-phone has changed from red to green, and tells Jack Charlie just got them rescued.Jack and Rousseau go inside the radio tower, and Rousseau shuts off her distress signal.Naomi takes the sat-phone outside and starts to get a signal.Nervous anticipation runs through the survivors.Ben says he knows Jack thinks he's saving his people but he has to stop.It's a mistake.Naomi gets a signal - and THUNK! She freezes, gasps and falls over.There's a knife sticking out of her back!

Everyone looks over and sees Locke emerge from the jungle.The phone rings.Locke warns him not to answer it and threatens to shoot him.Jack tells Locke that he is done keeping him on the island.It rings again.Jack tells Locke he's going to have to kill him to stop him.But Locke can't do it - he can't shoot Jack.Locke lowers the gun and tells Jack he's not supposed to do this.

And then someone is on the other end.
Jack tells the guy his name, that they have Naomi with them, and that he's one of the survivors of Oceanic flight 815.He asks if they can get a fix on his location.The guy says yeah.Sit tight, they'll be right there.Someone has found them.The giddiness starts to spread through the group.They are overwhelmed at the thought of rescue.

WHOOSH to Jack sitting in his house.The room is messy with open atlases, sleeves of used Oceanic tickets and trash.Jack is drunk and seems to have hit rock bottom.He dials the same number on his cell phone again, expecting to get voicemail, but then someone answers.Jack asks the person not to hang up, to please meet him.The person agrees, and Jack leaves.

Out by the airport, Jack waits.Another car pulls up behind him.The door opens, and into the light steps Kate.She says she saw Jack on the news pulling people out of burning wreckage.Jack shrugs, old habits.And suddenly it hits us, this is who Jack has been calling this whole time.But these haven't been flashbacks - these are flash-forwards.
Kate wants to know why he called her.Jack hands her the newspaper clipping and says he was hoping she heard and would go to the funeral.Kate angrily asks why she'd go to the funeral.Jack tells her he's been flying a lot.He uses the golden ticket Oceanic gave them and flies out every Friday night from Los Angeles to Tokyo.Or Singapore.Or Sydney.Always hoping to crash.He says he doesn't care about the other passengers.With every bump or moment of turbulence, he just closes his eyes and prays that he can go back.He says they made a mistake.They weren't supposed to leave.Kate shakes her head.Yes, they were.She tells him she's got to go - he'll wonder where she is.She says good-bye and leaves.And as she backs away, Jack shouts that they have to go back.They have to go back!
