Episode 1 "Everybody Needs Hugo"

Summary

The episode takes place after the Lost finale.

Hurley sits inside the statue room. He is examining an old

board game with miniature figures and a boat. He decides to

move the boat from the ocean part of the board, to the

island portion.

------Opening Lost Logo------------

In the next scene, Ben and Desmond sit around a fire not far

from the statue, looking out at the ocean. Ben apologizes to

Desmond for shooting him in LA and trying to hurt Penny. He

explains that Charles Widmore forced his hand by killing

Alex. Before he can tell Desmond that he killed Charles,

Desmond spots a boat far off the coast. Ben goes to the

statue to let Hurley know.

Hurley, Ben and Desmond wait for the boat to arrive at the

beach. Ben inquires as to how Hurley brought the boat here,

and Hurley explains that it’s easier to show him. They leave

Desmond, and Hurley shows Ben the board game. They are

interrupted by Desmond’s cries.

The next scene is a flashback to Penny in LA. She is visited

by her father, Charles Widmore. Penny refuses to speak to

him until he explains where Desmond is. Charles explains

that Desmond is very important and everything that Charles

has done to Desmond was for Penny’s own good. She refuses to

believe him. He finally explains the reason for his visit;

he gives Penny a plane ticket and instructions on how she

will find Desmond again. When Penny inquires why Charles is

doing this, he tells her that "his time is over". They

embrace.

Back on the Island, the boat is revealed to be Penny’s.

Desmond and Penny have an emotional reunion, which is

however interrupted by Ben’s presence. Penny asks what Ben

is doing here, but Desmond is quick to defend him. She then

asks about Charles, only to have Ben inform everyone that he

has killed him. Hurley and Desmond have a mixed reaction,

while Penelope begins to cry and asks Desmond why he doesn’t

do something about Ben. He tries to calm her down by she

goes back to the boat. Hurley asks to come with Desmond, in

order to inform Kate, Sawyer, and everyone else who left, of

Jack’s death, but is stopped by Ben who reminds him of his

role on the Island.The three men say their goodbyes, and

Desmond gets on the boat and leaves.

2.

After Desmond’s departure, Ben informs Hurley that their

current task is to "bury the dead", but first Hurley must

make Ben ageless like Richard. Hurley is frustrated by his

inability to know what to do. Ben reassures him that it will

come with time, and they set out to bury the graves of the

Others killed in Widmore’s mortar attack.

When Ben and Hugo arrive at the site, they cannot find any

bodies, so they come to the conclusion that the survivors

must have buried them, even though they cannot find any

graves nearby. Hugo decides that they should go to the

Temple to investigate. When heading to the Temple, however,

they are attacked by zombies, seemingly the same Others that

died in the mortar attack, but they manage to escape and get

inside the Temple walls.

Inside the Temple compound, Ben talks to the current leader

of the Others. He tells him that Hurley is the next Jacob,

and the leader asks for proof by letting Hurley heal the

wounded in the pool room (the same one Dogen put Sayid in).

Ben agrees and goes on to help the Others with fortifying

the Temple walls, while Hugo goes to the pool room.

Unfortunately, Hurley fails to heal a man and he dies from a

major wound. Sad, disturbed, and angry, Hurley rushes out of

the Temple compound before anyone can stop him. Ben inquires

why Hurley left, only to find that the man he attempted to

heal is indeed dead, BUT his wound was in fact healed by

Hurley.

The scene switches back to Hurley who walks into the bamboo

forest and sits in front of Jack’s grave. He believes that

he is not worthy of his role. Suddenly, he hears Jack’s

voice behind him. He turns around, and a zombie Jack is

revealed. He asks Hurley "You didn’t think you got rid of me

that easy, did you?"

------------Closing Lost Logo------------

INT. STATUE - NIGHT

Lit torches line the room; The fire burns in the middle,

with the open ceiling above; Jacob’s tapestry sits against a

wall and his empty chair in the back. A black box with

Egyptian hieroglyphs is shown. Someone’s hands open it.

Inside is a board; on it, a drawn depiction of a small

landmass can be seen on the left side, and what appears to

be ocean covering the rest of the board.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 3.

A miniature ship and small figurines of people sit on the

right edge of the board. The hands pick up the figures, and

then put them back down, before taking the boat miniature

and moving it next to the Island.

The person is revealed to be Hurley. He stares at the board

intently, before turning around and looking out into the

night sky through the open ceiling. Zoom out to see the

entire statue foot, and a fire nearby, with two shadowy

figures sitting behind it.

FADE TO BLACK: REVEAL LOST LOGO

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY

Ben and Desmond sit on a wooden log. Desmond is looking out

to sea, while Ben stares at the ground. The Taweret statue

foot can be seen in the background.

BEN

I’m sorry.

Desmond continues to look out at the sea, seemingly

oblivious to Ben.

BEN

What I did in Los Angeles...what I

was going to do...

Desmond turns to Ben.

BEN

Charles got my daughter killed.

DESMOND

Charles? Charles Widmore?

Ben nods quietly. Desmond turns back to the ocean.

DESMOND

So. You were there for Penny then.

Ben looks down on the ground in shame.

DESMOND

Where is he now.

BEN

Dead.

(CONTINUED)

Page 5: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 4.

Desmond nods and brings his hand to his forehead to shield

his eyes from the sun as he stares out onto the ocean. He

suddenly jumps up and points to something in the distance.

Ben opens his mouth to speak but Desmond interrupts him.

DESMOND

There it is!

Ben stands up and looks out. Far out at the horizon, there

is a blimp on the water in the shape of a boat. Ben turns

to Desmond and smiles.

BEN

I’ll go get Hurley.

Ben runs in the statue’s direction.

INT. STATUE - DAY

Hurley sleeps on the floor around the fire in the center of

the room. Light strikes down on his face through the opening

in the ceiling.

BEN (0.S.)

Hurley! Are you there?

Hurley slowly moves and opens his eyes. He raises his hand

to block out the light.

HURLEY

Dude...What time is it?

BEN (0.S.)

It’s here, Hurley.

HURLEY

What?

BEN (0.S.)

The boat Hurley. The boat’s here.

---------BREAK--------

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY

Hurley, Ben and Desmond stand on the shore of the beach near

the statue. The boat is visibly closer now. Ben looks over

at Hurley with surprise.

(CONTINUED)

Page 6: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 5.

BEN

How did you do it?

HURLEY

Dude...

Desmond turns to Hurley and pats him on the shoulder with a

smile. Hurley looks confused. Ben continues looking at the

water.

DESMOND

(Enthusiastically)

Oh you’ve got it in you brotha.

HURLEY

I thought it was just a game or

something.

Ben looks at Hurley with confusion.

HURLEY

I can show you if you want.

Ben looks over at Desmond as if asking for permission.

DESMOND

You boys go on. I’ll wait right

here.

BEN

Suit yourself.

Desmond sits back down on the wooden log with a content

smile. Hurley and Ben walk towards the statue.

INT. STATUE - DAY

Hurley walks inside the large room with the open ceiling. He

stops and turns around.

HURLEY

Dude?

BEN

Yes Hugo.

HURLEY

So are you going to like...come in?

BEN

You have to give me permission.

(CONTINUED)

Page 7: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 6.

HURLEY

Ugh...alright. You...ugh...you can

come in.

HURLEY

It’s a bit messy but...

Ben walks inside the room. He looks around at the familiar

layout. Hurley watches Ben walk over to the fire. Ben stares

into it.

HURLEY

Ben? Are you alright?

Ben turns back to Hurley and nods silently.

HURLEY

There it is.

Hurley points to the bench in the back of the room. A square

black box sits on top. Ben walks over to it. Hurley follows.

The box has Egyptian hieroglyphs on it.

BEN

May I?

HURLEY

Go ahead.

Ben opens the the box.

BEN

Is this...what I think it is?

HURLEY

I don’t know dude.

BEN

A lot simpler than I imagined.

Ben picks up the figures and examines them. He then puts

everything back and closes the box.

BEN

Well, thank you for showing me

this, Hugo. It’s nice to

finally...be in the loop.

HURLEY

Sure dude.

(CONTINUED)

Page 8: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 7.

DESMOND (O.S.)

Hey, you better get down here!

BEN

(Yelling)

What is it, Desmond?

DESMOND (O.S.)

You’re not going to believe this.

Ben and Hurley stand deep in thought.

FLASHBACK TO:

EXT. LA DOCK - DAY

Penelope Widmore leans against the railing on Desmond’s

boat. She watches her son play with a toy airplane and

smiles. Footsteps are heard near the boat; it is revealed to

be Charles Widmore. Penelope’s expression instantly changes

from happy to defensive. She whispers something in her son’s

ear and he goes down inside the boat.

CHARLES

Oh Penny I’m not going to hurt

anyone-

PENELOPE

Where is Desmond!

CHARLES

Desmond is perfectly safe. Please,

just hear me out.

PENELOPE

You tell me where Desmond is right

now, or I’m calling the police!

Charles sighs. He walks onto the boat and stops in front of

Penelope.

CHARLES

He’s back on the Island-

PENELOPE

What? Why?

CHARLES

It would take too much time to

explain. All that you need to

understand is...Desmond is very

important.

(CONTINUED)

Page 9: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 8.

PENELOPE

What are you talking about? You

treat him like-

CHARLES

Penny, everything that I have done.

All the pain I have brought to

you...and Desmond. It was all to

keep you and your son safe. You

must understand.

Penelope shakes her head in disbelief. She tries to hold

back her tears.

PENELOPE

You’re insane.

CHARLES

With time perhaps, you will come to

understand. But that’s not why I’m

here.

(Beat)

Please Penny, if you want to see

Desmond again, you have to follow

my instructions.

PENELOPE

What?

CHARLES

I’ve bought you a plane ticket and

a boat will be waiting for you.

Everything is explained here.

Charles hands the confused Penelope a small journal and the

plane ticket. She reluctantly takes it.

CHARLES

Now it is of the utmost importance

that you take this plane on this

exact day, and then proceed to sail

to these exact coordinates. Do you

understand?

Penny reads through a page in the journal. She appears

confused and shakes her head.

PENELOPE

But...this is in the middle of the

ocean...How-

(CONTINUED)

Page 10: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 9.

CHARLES

Jacob will get you the rest of the

way. Please, Penny, just trust me.

I mean you no harm.

Penelope sits down. She puts the journal down and looks at

her father.

PENELOPE

Why? Why are you doing this?

CHARLES

Because my time is over. I won’t be

able to bring Desmond back.

PENELOPE

What do you mean?

Charles looks at her silently. There is a hint of sadness in

his eyes.

PENELOPE

Dad?

CHARLES

I’m sorry Penny, I have to go.

Please just know that...I’ve always

loved you.

Charles awaits for a response from Penny. He gives her a

silent nod and turns around. Penny runs up to him and they

embrace. She cries.

CHARLES

It’s alright...

Charles pats her on the head as he looks into the distance.

FLASH BACK TO THE ISLAND:

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY

Ben and Hurley run out of the statue towards Desmond. He

stands knee-deep in the water, his attention focused on the

boat which is now only a hundred meters away.

DESMOND

Penny!

Page 11: Everybody needs hugo

10.

EXT. OCEAN - DAY

Penelope is revealed standing on the boat with the wind

blowing the sail towards the Island. She waves happily to

Desmond.

PENELOPE

Des!

DESMOND

Penny!

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER

The boat is just a few meters away from the beach. Desmond

runs deeper and deeper into the water. Penelope jumps down.

They embrace and kiss in neck-deep water.

Ben looks over at Hurley, who smiles at the sight of the

reunion. Ben is clearly agitated and uneasy. Penelope and

Desmond talk as they finally walk out of the water.

Penelope’s expression changes when she notices Ben.

PENELOPE

What is he doing here? Des?

DESMOND

He’s alright Penny. It’s alright.

Don’t worry. He helped me.

Penelope looks over at Ben and then back at Desmond.

BEN

I’m sorry Penelope-

DESMOND

It’s a long story, Pen.

There is a short silence as everyone stands and comprehends

the situation.

PENELOPE

Desmond? Where is my father?

Desmond looks over at Penelope and stops smiling. She is

confused.

DESMOND

He’s-

(CONTINUED)

Page 12: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 11.

BEN

He’s dead.

Penelope brings her hand to her face. Desmond looks over at

Ben and comforts Penelope. Ben remains emotionless.

PENELOPE

How...

BEN

I killed him.

Everyone looks over at Ben with bewilderment.

-------------------BREAK-------------------------------

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER

Penelope cries in Desmond’s arms. Desmond looks over at Ben

with a troubled expression. Hurley looks at Ben intently.

PENELOPE

Aren’t you going to do something?

DESMOND

No...Charles...he ugh...

BEN

He killed my daughter. I’m sorry

Penelope.

Penelope looks over at Ben with disgust.

PENELOPE

Let’s get out of here Desmond.

Desmond tries to comfort Penelope but she breaks out of his

arms and wipes away the tears. She walks back over to the

boat. Desmond looks over at Ben and sighs, before he turns

back towards Penelope.

HURLEY

Dude, wait.

Desmond turns around.

HURLEY

Can I ugh...can I come with you?

BEN

What? Hurley?

Hurley looks over at Ben. Desmond is confused.

(CONTINUED)

Page 13: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 12.

HURLEY

Somebody has to tell them...about

Jack.

Desmond stands in silence for a moment and then nods his

head.

DESMOND

Of course Hurley. You’re free to-

BEN

Hugo, you can’t.

(Beat)

This island needs you.

HURLEY

They deserve to know dude.

BEN

Desmond can tell them.

HURLEY

But it wouldn’t-

BEN

Hurley, Jack believed in you. Your

responsibility is here now. It’s

what he would want.

Hurley sighs and walks over to Desmond. They shake hands,

and Desmond leans in for a hug. Ben walks over to Desmond

and they reluctantly shake hands as well. Desmond gets on

the boat with Penelope. They start to move way from the

beach. Ben and Hurley stand together and watch the boat

leave. Hurley waves.

EXT. BOAT - DAY

Desmond leans over the railing on the boat, looking back at

the Island. His expression is both relieved and happy.

Penelope comes next to him and embraces him from behind.

They smile and kiss.

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER

Hurley and Ben walk away from the beach and sit down on the

wooden log.

HURLEY

So...what now dude.

(CONTINUED)

Page 14: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 13.

BEN

Now Hugo, we need to bury the dead.

Hurley looks at Ben with a disgusted expression. Ben looks

back at him.

BEN

But first, you need to make me like

Richard.

Hurley looks at Ben with confusion.

-------------------------BREAK------------------------------

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER

Hurley stands in front of Ben. He looks incredibly

concentrated with closed eyes. Ben watches him from the

wooden log.

BEN

Hurley, I don’t think-

HURLEY

Dude...just let me focus.

Ben sighs and looks away. Hurley finally opens his eyes.

HURLEY

So...do you feel any different.

BEN

Not that I can tell.

Hurley sighs.

HURLEY

I’m sorry dude. I don’t know how.

Ben is deep in thought. Hurley sits down in front of the

fire, facing the ocean.

HURLEY

I’m not...I’m not meant for

this...I’m not Jack.

Hurley throws a stone into the ocean. Ben springs to his

feet after Hurley’s words. He walks over to Hurley and sits

down next to him. Hurley looks at Ben.

(CONTINUED)

Page 15: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 14.

BEN

You don’t have to do it now, Hugo.

We can’t expect you to learn

everything in a week.

Ben gives Hurley an enthusiastic smile.

BEN

Now come on, we have a job to do.

Ben stands up. Hurley reluctantly follows him.

EXT. JUNGLE - DAY

Hurley follows Ben through the thick jungle.

HURLEY

(Panting)

So...who are going to bury exactly?

BEN

The people Charles Widmore killed.

HURLEY

So those rockets he fired?

BEN

Not rockets. Mortar shells.

HURLEY

Alright dude, but you should know.

(Beat)

I’m not that good around...bodies.

BEN

It’s alright Hugo all we have to do

is bury them.

They continue walking.

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY

Ben and Hurley walk out of the jungle onto a beach. There is

a pillar of faint black smoke rising just ahead, beyond some

trees. Ben turns to Hurley.

BEN

We’re almost there.

Page 16: Everybody needs hugo

15.

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER

Ben and Hurley walk past the trees and the mortar attack

site is revealed. There are a number of black patches on the

ground with smoke rising from them, but no bodies. Ben runs

over to the site and looks around. Hurley follows.

HURLEY

Um dude, aren’t there supposed to

be bodies...and stuff.

BEN

I...don’t understand.

HURLEY

Maybe somebody already buried them.

Ben looks at Hurley.

BEN

I suppose that it’s possible that

some of them survived, but...I

don’t see any graves.

(Beat)

And I doubt they would carry them

all the way back to the Temple.

HURLEY

Only one way to find out.

Ben nods at Hurley.

HURLEY

We’re going to the Temple.

---------------------BREAK----------------------------

EXT. JUNGLE - DAY

Hurley and Ben are back in the jungle, but this time Hurley

leads the way.

BEN

You sure you’re going the right

way?

Hurley stops and turns around to Ben.

HURLEY

Well, I AM the protector of the

Island, aren’t I?

(CONTINUED)

Page 17: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 16.

BEN

Sorry.

The men continue walking. There is a silence for a moment.

HURLEY

So um...I was wondering.

(Beat)

Will I ever be able to...you know.

Go off the Island.

BEN

Of course Hugo. Just...not now.

HURLEY

Yeah dude it’s just that...you know

my mom...and my dad-

BEN

Stop.

HURLEY

What?

BEN

Be quiet.

Both men stop. Ben listens intently. There is a sudden noise

of footsteps over leaves. Ben steps in front of Hurley and

motions him to be quiet. The noise gets louder and louder as

it gets closer. It is revealed to be a pale corpse with a

chopped off arm and torn clothing. Ben and Hurley both stare

in awe and fear. The corpse examines them before making a

growling noise.

HURLEY

Dude...is that like-

BEN

Run.

HURLEY

OK.

Hurley and Ben race through the jungle, followed by the

corpse. As they run they hear more similar growls from all

around them. More corpses reveal themselves from the bushes.

Hurley and Ben continue running, chased by the slowly

advancing corpses. The Temple is finally in sight, but

another corpse stands between the two men and the gates. Ben

and Hurley stop.

(CONTINUED)

Page 18: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 17.

HURLEY

Dude. I got this.

BEN

Hugo just don’t do anything-

HURLEY

Just trust me on this.

Hurley holds Ben back and charges into the corpse, which

only has time to react with a confused face before Hurley

tackles it out of the way. Hurley turns around to the

bewildered Ben.

HURLEY

This is like, Land of the Dead

dude.

Ben follows Hurley. He pounds loudly on the Temple gates.

Hurley watches him silently for a moment before joining.

HURLEY

Hey let us in, we’re alive!

Hurley looks behind himself; the corpses are fast

approaching.

HURLEY

Ugh dude, we don’t have much time.

BEN

This is Benjamin Linus and Hugo

Rayes, let us inside!

OTHER #1

What lies in the shadow of the

statue?

Ben thinks for a moment.

BEN

He who will save us all.

The gates quickly open and a number of arms shove Hurley and

Ben inside.

INT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY

A group of Others quickly inspects them.

(CONTINUED)

Page 19: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 18.

HURLEY

Dude. Do I look like one of those

zombies to you?

BEN

This is ridiculous he is Jacob’s

replacement-

OTHER #1

They’re clear.

The man that appears to be in charge nods.

LEADER

Look I don’t know who you think you

are but you obviously know the

code. So you can either help us

fortify this place or try your

chances outside.

BEN

(Frustrated)

This is Hugo Rayes, he was passed

on the leadership of this Island

from Jacob. Now if you just-

LEADER

I don’t have time for this. If you

want to prove he is in Jacob’s

place...

The leader looks at Hurley.

LEADER

...Then perhaps he can help with

the wounded in the pool room.

The leader looks at Ben.

LEADER

You on the other hand will have to-

BEN

Fine fine I’ll help, but first tell

us what the hell that is out there.

The leader crosses his arms and sighs.

LEADER

Your guess is as good as mine. It

certainly looks like His work-

(CONTINUED)

Page 20: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 19.

BEN

But he’s dead.

LEADER

Yes.

The group of men stand silent for a moment.

BEN

Alright Hugo, you go on and help

with the wounded and I’ll do my

best here.

HURLEY

Dude, I don’t think I can do that

yet-

BEN

Hugo we don’t have time. Please,

just try.

Ben follows a man to the wall surrounding the Temple

compound. Two others start heading to the Pool Room and stop

halfway, looking at Hurley with expectation. He finally

follows.

INT. TEMPLE POOL ROOM - DAY

Hurley and the two others walk into the pool room. The water

in the pool appears to be quite dark. A number of injured

others lie on the stone floor around the pool. Another man

appears to be caring for them, as he replaces a bandage on a

gashing wound.

HURLEY

Dude, he’s not gonna make it.

OTHER #1

Come on, get him in the pool.

Hurley watches the two men that accompanied him grab the

dying man and walk down the steps into the water. They look

at Hurley.

OTHER #1

Well come on now, are you going to

help him or not?

HURLEY

Ugh...

(CONTINUED)

Page 21: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 20.

Hurley quickly runs over to the steps and descends into the

water. The two men pass the injured other into his arms as

he floats carelessly on the water.

HURLEY

So ugh, what do I do now?

(Beat)

Guys?

The two men quickly run out of the water and back outside.

The other tending to the sick ignores Hurley and continues

to help the injured.

Hurley holds the man as he floats in the water and gazes

around as if looking for advice. He finally puts his hand

over the wound and closes his eyes, concentrating. He opens

his eyes after a moment, but the wound is still present. The

man appears to be dead. Hurley checks his pulse to verify.

He finally lets go of the body and it flows to the center of

the pool. Hurley walks backwards and crashes on the steps.

HURLEY

No, no no...Damn it!

OTHER #2

Did it work?

Hurley gets up and wipes his bloody hands on his shirt. He

quickly runs up the steps and out of the room.

OTHER #2

Hey, he’s dead! Where are you

going?

(Beat)

Hey I’m talking to you!

INT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY

Hurley quickly walks towards the gates. The man follows him

out of the pool room.

OTHER #2

Hey, stop him!

Hurley quickens his pace. He gets to the gate and pushes an

unsuspecting other aside to open it. Ben notices the

commotion from atop the wall.

BEN

Hurley? What are you doing?

Hurley looks over at Ben with a sad expression.

(CONTINUED)

Page 22: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 21.

HURLEY

This isn’t for me dude.

BEN

Wait-

Hurley runs out of the gates.

EXT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY

Ben yells of the wall. Hurley continues to quickly walk

away.

INT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY

Ben rushes down the ladder from the wall. He walks over to

the 2ND other.

BEN

What did you do to him?

OTHER #2

I didn’t do anything, he just ran

out!

BEN

Why?

OTHER #2

He tried to heal one of the

men...but it didn’t work.

BEN

Are you sure?

OTHER #2

Go look for yourself.

The two men rush over to the pool room.

INT.TEMPLE POOL ROOM - DAY

Ben spots the body floating in the pool and quickly jumps

inside. He inspects the man for injuries, but doesn’t find

any. He notices a scar on his stomach.

BEN

He’s dead.

(CONTINUED)

Page 23: Everybody needs hugo

CONTINUED: 22.

OTHER #2

I know.

BEN

But his wound is healed.

The other quickly runs down the steps into the water, and

looks at the healed wound. All that remains is a sizable

scar.

OTHER #2

But...I don’t understand. The only

person with the healing power is-

BEN

Yes. Jacob’s dead.

(Beat)

And Hurley is his replacement.

The other looks at Ben with surprise.

-------------------------BREAK----------------------------

EXT. JUNGLE - DAY

Hurley continues trumping through the jungle without much

care for making noise. He looks forward and sees a large

bamboo forest ahead. He slows down his pace, grabbing the

bamboo for support as he walks deeper and deeper inside. He

sees a thin wooden pole sticking out of the ground and

breathes a sigh of relief. He walks in front of it; it is a

makeshift grave. He sits down on the ground in front of it

with a saddened expression.

HURLEY

I’m sorry dude. I failed you.

(Beat)

I’m not a great man Jack. I can’t

take your place.

Hurley starts to sob. He suddenly hears something shuffle in

the leaves behind him and turns around with a fearful

expression. It’s an extremely pale JACK. His skin has a

bluish tone to it, and a large red spot stands out on his

lower abdomen, dripping with blood all the way down to his

jeans. His neck is also bleeding from a sizable wound.

JACK

Hey Hurley. You didn’t think you

got rid of me that easy, did you?

Hurley is astonished. Jack smiles at him.
