Lost/Recap/S06/E01 LAX: Difference between revisions

Sun and Jin watch Rose and Bernard, the happy couple, from several rows back. Elsewhere, Boone--minus Shannon--is sitting near Locke, and they talk about what would happen in the plane went down. [[Blatant Lies|Locke tells Boone that he went on a walkabout in Australia, a "pretty intense" experience.'']]

Inside the statue, the "Man in Black"--the thing that looks like John Locke--cleans off the bloody knife and sends a shell-shocked Ben to fetch Richard. Outside, Richard is in a heated discussion with Ilana and Bram, while Lapidus and Sun watch and wonder who these newcomers are.

 

'''Lapidus''': I'm not buying it either. }}

 

Ben emerges from the statue and, claiming that everything's fine, tells Richard that "Locke" wants to see him. Richard shows Ben the dead body of the real John Locke. At the Swan, the group are doing their best to dig Juliet out of the wreckage, but they need the DHARMA van to shift a heavy beam. In the jungle, Jacob tells Hurley that he died little more than an hour ago, and that only Hurley can see him because of his gift.

 

'''Jacob''': I was killed by an old friend who grew tired of my company. }}

 

Cindy the stewardess asks Jack, who has identified himself as a doctor, to help them with a situation: a passenger has locked themselves in the bathroom and isn't responding to questions or requests. Sayid also volunteers to help, kicking down the door so that he, Jack and Cindy can get to Charlie, who's unconscious and not breathing. They start trying to resuscitate but there's something blocking Charlie's airways; Jack asks for the pen he carried in his jacket pocket, but it's gone. He reaches his fingers down Charlie's throat, pulls out a baggie of heroin that had been lodged in there throat, and he comes to.

 

'''Charlie''': [[Meaningful Echo|Terrific]]. }}

 

At the Swan, the beam is pulled clear. Sawyer descends into the wreckage and finds Juliet, barely alive, and he promises to get her home. Outside the statue, Ben continues to play coy about what happened inside. Bram grabs Ben and goes into the statue with three of his men. Inside, the Man in Black tells them that Jacob is dead and that Bram is free of his obligations to him. Bram shoots the Man in Black, to no effect: he steps behind a pillar and disappears, and moments later the Smoke Monster arrives. It kills Bram's men, and initially can't get to Bram himself, who drew a circle of ash around himself, but it uses falling debris to force him into the open and impales him on Jacob's tapestry. Once Bram is dead, the Monster seems to disappear and Ben, who'd been hiding in a corner, goes to leave, only for the Man in Black to reappear at the entrance.

 

 

At the Swan, Sawyer is trying to lift wreckage off of Juliet so that she can get free, while Juliet talks nonsense.

 

 

She tries to tell Sawyer something, something important, but mid-sentence she succumbs to her injuries and dies. Sawyer cries over her body for a few moments, then carries her out of the Swan wreckage and accuses Jack of being responsible.

Charlie is arrested by air marshals.

 

 

Jack heads back to his seat and finds that Desmond is gone and Rose doesn’t remember seeing him. Captain Norris makes an announcement over the PA, the fasten seat-belts sign is turned on, Oceanic 815 lands at LAX and the all the passengers disembark safely.

Once Juliet is buried in the jungle, Sawyer reveals why he asked Miles to stay and help: he wants to know what Juliet was trying to say when she died, and forces Miles to read her.

 

'''Sawyer''': What worked? }}

 

At the Temple, Jack, Kate, Hurley, Jin and Sayid are met by Dogen, the leader of this group of Others and man in charge of the Temple, as well as his interpreter Lennon. Cindy the stewardess, now with the Others, confirms the group's identity. Dogen orders they be shot, but Hurley tells him that the group was sent by Jacob and offers the guitar case as proof. Dogen opens the case and finds a [[Narm|large wooden ankh]]... which he smashes over his knee to get the slip of paper inside, a message from Jacob with Hurley, Jack, Kate, Jin and Sayid's names written on it.

 

'''Lennon''': The paper said that if your friend there dies, we're all in a lot of trouble. }}

 

At the spring, the group are waiting for something to happen while Cindy, Zach and Emma bring them some food. Sawyer and Miles are brought in, having been captured in the jungle. Lennon brings Hurley to meet with Dogen, who wants to know what Jacob told him. When Hurley reiterates that it was just instructions to bring Sayid to the Temple so that he could be saved, Dogen claims that Sayid was beyond saving... and Hurley notices that Dogen doesn't need Lennon to translate English back Japanese, only the other way around: he understands English perfectly, and has Lennon translate his Japanese purely for psychological effect. They ask when Jacob is going to arrive at the Temple and Hurley tells them that Jacob is dead, not realising they didn't already know. Dogen immediately orders the Others to "battle stations": they bring everyone inside the Temple and surround it with a circle of ash, fortify the gate and send up a flare.

 

'''Hurley''': Him? Who? }}

 

Inside the statue, Ben is still coming to grips with the fact that the Man in Black ''is'' the Smoke Monster, and that he manipulated Ben into killing Jacob because he couldn't do it himself.

 

'''The Man in Black''': Well that's the great irony here, Ben, because I want the one thing that John Locke didn't. I want to go home. }}

 

At the Spring, Kate tends to Sawyer as he wakes up and fills him in on what's happened. She tries to convince Sawyer not to do anything to Jack, but he's already calmed down.

 

 

----

In LAX's Lost and Found office, Jack is waiting to find out about his father's coffin when he meets Locke, whose case of knives is missing. Jack, visibly upset, tells him about what happened to his father.

 

'''Locke''': No, I'm not talking about the coffin. I mean, how could they know where he is? They didn't lose your father, they just lost his body. }}

 

Outside the statue, everyone sees the Temple flare explode in the sky above the Island, which panics Richard in particular. Moments later, the Man in Black and Ben emerge from the statue. Ilana and the Others aim there weapons but Richard orders them not to shoot. As Lapidus and Sun watch in disbelief, "Locke" walks right up to Richard.

 

'''The Man in Black''': Me. [''he beats Richard unconscious in seconds, then addresses the rest of the group:''] I am '''very''' disappointed in '''all''' of you! }}
