ANA: Actually, it's too quiet now. MATTHEW: So, how's Danny -- you 2 trying to work things out? ANA: There's nothing to work out. He left. MATTHEW: You okay with that? ANA: I guess you could say I'm one of those people that's just better off alone. MATTHEW: So, how was the firing range? ANA: Good. MATTHEW: How did it feel to hold a gun again? ANA: Very good. MATTHEW: All these steps count, Ana. You've come a long way since we met 4 months ago. ANA: Did she say -- you know, when I can come back to work? MATTHEW: She left the final determination up to me. ANA: Right. MATTHEW: Do you think you're ready? ANA: What do you think? [He hands Ana her badge. Scene switches to a shot of her LAPD badge at the police dept. office.] UNKNOWN VOICE [off camera]: Welcome back to the force, Officer Cortez. [Scene switches to right after Ana shot Shannon. Sayid pulls out his gun and goes after Ana.] MICHAEL: Sayid! Sayid, no! [Eko tackles Sayid and they fight. Ana cold-cocks Sayid, and grabs the gun.] MICHAEL: Hey, hey! ANA [pointing the gun at Michael]: Don't move! Nobody move! COMMERCIAL BREAK ANA: Nobody move. Nobody! [to Eko] Does he have anything else on him? EKO: What? ANA: He just had a gun to your neck -- check to see if he had anything else on him? MICHAEL: Hey, put it down. ANA [pointing the gun at Michael]: Stop. MICHAEL: Are you crazy? Don't point that at me? ANA: I said stop! MICHAEL: What is your problem? [Ana fires off a warning round.] BERNARD: Ana! JIN: [Says something in Korean, and comes toward Ana.] ANA: Get back! Get back, both of you! MICHAEL: Are you crazy? LIBBY: Ana. ANA: Get back now! LIBBY: Ana! ANA [to Eko]: We need to tie him up. EKO: I'm not tying him up. ANA: He tried to kill you. EKO: No. ANA [pointing the gun at Libby]: You, you do it. Tie him. Use the vines from the stretcher. MICHAEL: Hey, if we take that thing apart we won't be able to... ANA: Shut up! LIBBY: Ana, Sawyer needs a doctor or he'll die. ANA: I know what I'm doing. [FLASHBACK to Ana at the police station.] CAPTAIN: I hope this is all of it. RAGGS: That's all we've got right now. CAPTAIN: {something unintelligible} RAGGS: Thanks, Captain. [Ana knocks at the Captain's open door.] CAPTAIN: Come on in. RAGGS: Hey, look who's here. Good to see you Ana-Lucia, welcome back. ANA: Thanks, Raggs. RAGGS: I'll get you those IRs, Captain. CAPTAIN: Today. RAGGS: You've got it. CAPTAIN [to Ana]: How are you? ANA: Good. Fine. CAPTAIN: Good. Your assignment. ANA: Evidence? You're putting me behind a desk? CAPTAIN: Is that a problem? ANA: I want patrol. CAPTAIN: I don't care what you want. ANA: Just put me in a car. CAPTAIN: You were in an officer involve shooting -- no. ANA [subtitled from Spanish]: You're doing this because you're my Captain? Or because you're my mother? CAPTAIN: Both. ANA: I need to be back on the street. Please. CAPTAIN: I put you in a car -- everyone's going to know I pulled strings. You don't want me to treat you like my daughter? Don't ask for favors. ANA: Then transfer me. [Ana's mother/Captain fills out a form.] CAPTAIN: You don't get the transfer, but I'll give you the car. Happy? RAGGS: Sorry to bother you Captain -- Ana, there's a call for you in the bullpen, they say it's real important. ANA: Thanks, Raggs, I'll be right there. CAPTAIN: They got you a cake, try and act surprised. [Jack filling a water bottle, Rose approaches.] ROSE: Jack, nice to see you out of the hatch. You could use more sunshine. JACK: I'll take that under advisement. ROSE: A little fruit might do you good, too. Good for the constitution -- at least that's what they say. JACK: Well, if that's what they say. [Jack takes a piece of fruit from Rose.] ROSE: Mmmm? JACK: Where'd you get these? ROSE: Well, now just because you're a little excited -- no reason to talk with your mouth full. [Something drops out of the sky into the water trough Jack was using to fill his bottle. Jack grabs it, and finds it's a golf ball.] HURLEY: Past the hanging tree, double or nothing. KATE: You sure? HURLEY: Dude, double or nothing, there's no way you're hitting it that far. CHARLIE: Hurley, the woman's on bloody steroids. KATE: Double's 10 thousand bucks. CHARLIE: Oh, that's nothing to someone who's worth 150 million dollars. He'll build you your own course, if you'd like. KATE: What are you talking about? HURLEY: Ignore him, he's an idiot. [Kate swings and wins the bet.] HURLEY: Crap! JACK [entering]: You hooked it. Try keeping your left arm straight. KATE: You giving me tips? JACK: Kate, I'm -- I'm a doctor. KATE: So, you think you could do better? JACK [chuckling]: Anyone can hit a ball. That's not golf. KATE: And what's golf? JACK: Golf is accuracy. KATE: Well, why don't we play a few holes and see which one of us is more accurate. CHARLIE: Oooh, fighting talk. JACK: You're kidding, right? KATE: 3 holes, no handicap, we play for bragging rights. What are we waiting for? [Eko giving a very sick and shaking Sawyer some water.] LIBBY: Ana, let's just get to their camp. It was an accident; they'll understand. ANA: They'll understand? I killed one of them. [motioning to Jin and Michael] If those 2 move, shout. LIBBY: Wait, what are you doing? [Ana walks over to Sayid.] SAYID: Untie me. ANA: I'm not... SAYID: Untie me!!! LIBBY: Ana. [Eko lifts Sawyer onto his back.] ANA: What are you doing? EKO: I'm taking him back to his camp. ANA: Don't leave, please. If that were you, he'd let you die. EKO: I'm not doing it for him. I'm doing it for me. COMMERCIAL BREAK [FLASHBACK to Ana and her partner, Big Mike, on patrol.] BIG MIKE: So'd the shrink give you any good drugs? ANA [laughing]: Not that kind of shrink. BIG MIKE: Did you miss me? ANA: Boy, did I. BIG MIKE: I heard about you and Danny. Want me to go kick his ass for you? ANA: Nah. It's better this way. What are we doing in Westwood? BIG MIKE: I thought a change of scenery would be nice -- a nice safe neighborhood for your first day back. ANA: This was her idea, wasn't it? BIG MIKE: She is the Captain. ANA: Yeah. POLICE RADIO VOICE: 809, please respond to a domestic disturbance call at 2210 South Veteran. ANA: This is 8 Adam-16. BIG MIKE: That's not our call. POLICE RADIO VOICE: Go ahead Adam-16. ANA: We're just 3 blocks from away from that call on Veteran. We got it. POLICE RADIO VOICE: Copy that, 8 Adam-16. [Ana and Big Mike put on their siren. Scene switches to the domestic disturbance. A woman with a baby is fighting with a guy moving stuff.] SHAWNA: Where are you going? What are you doing?! Drop the TV, Travis. The TV's mine. [Ana and Big Mike pull up.] TRAVIS: I bought it with my money. SHAWNA: Liar! TRAVIS: Did you call the cops?!! SHAWNA: What?! TRAVIS: Do something useful, Shawna, shut your trap. SHAWNA: Arrest him; he is stealing my TV. He cannot get away with this. TRAVIS: She hit me. She hit me. BIG MIKE: Hey, enough, all of you! Both of you! ANA [pulling her gun]: Put your hands where I can see them! Get down on the ground! BIG MIKE: Officer Cortez! ANA: Ma'am, get your baby upstairs. BIG MIKE: Ana Lucia! ANA: Hands on the ground! BIG MIKE: Ana Lucia! He is down. Holster your weapon. Now. [Ana with Sayid and the rest of the group.] LIBBY: Hey, I think you should let him go. ANA: No. He's going to come after me. LIBBY: You don't know that. ANA: I killed someone he loves. [Michael gets up to give Sayid water.] ANA: Sit down. Now. MICHAEL: I'm bringing him water. You going to shoot me? Shoot me. ANA: Don't even think of untying him. [Michael gives Sayid some water.] SAYID: Who is that woman? MICHAEL: Her name is Ana-Lucia. She was on the plane -- tail section -- they all were. We were bringing them back. SAYID: Where is Walt? MICHAEL: They took him -- the others. SAYID: What do you mean they took him? MICHAEL: From the raft -- the night we left. [Sayid grunts and struggles.] MICHAEL: Hey, man. Hey, we're going to get out of this, man. [Jack throws a golf tee to the ground.] JACK: Guess you're first. KATE: Lucky me. JACK: You know the lady's tee at my golf club back home is about 10 feet closer so if... KATE: Shut up, Jack. [Kate swings and gets the ball very close to the hole.] JACK: Nice. KATE: You're up. [Jack swings and his ball goes into the trees.] KATE: Wow, you really put it in there. [Jack crossing over a little creek to get to his ball.] KATE: We have more balls; you could always just take a drop. JACK: I'm good. [Jack finds his ball] Got it. [Kate sees something behind Jack.] JACK: You may want to move. [He sees the worried look on her face] What? [Eko enters carrying Sawyer.] EKO: Where is the doctor? [Locke in the hatch doing a crossword puzzle. The clue he's looking at is 42 down: Enkidu's friend. Locke fills in Gilgamesh. Jack and Kate enter.] JACK: I got him. I got him. KATE: Where are we headed? JACK: Bathroom. He's burning up. We've got to get him in the shower -- bring his fever down. KATE: What can I do? JACK: Okay, go through the medical stash; there's a bottle of Ofloxacin... KATE: Ofloxacin. JACK: Ofloxacin -- little white pills. Bring the alcohol and some gauge patches, and strip that bed and make sure it has clean sheets on it. Kate?! KATE: Uh, yeah, yeah. [Kate exits and Jack tends to Sawyer's wound. Locke enters and we hear the blip sound of the timer.] LOCKE: What happened? JACK: John, the button. [Locke exits and Jack turns the shower on Sawyer. Eko examines the Swan Dharma logo. We hear the timer reset to 108. Locke enters.] LOCKE: Hello. EKO: Hello. [Ana and the rest of the group with Sayid.] BERNARD [sitting next to Ana]: Hey, what are we doing here, Ana? I mean, their camp has got to be close. I just want to get back to my wife. ANA: How long have I kept you alive out here, Bernard? [Bernard bows his head] That's right. So cut me some slack. LIBBY: Hey, we just want to know what you're doing. What's the plan? SAYID: She has no plan. She only has her guilt and the gun. ANA: You want a plan? [to Michael] Do you have any ammo, back at your camp? MICHAEL: What? ANA: Ammo -- for the gun -- do you have any back at your camp? MICHAEL: Yeah, a couple boxes. ANA: Alright, I want it -- at least half. And I'll need a pack -- a big one -- a blanket, some medicine, clothes -- jeans and socks -- you getting all this? MICHAEL: Yeah, I got it. ANA: Alright, you bring all of that stuff back to me and I'll let your friend go. MICHAEL: I'm not leaving them. LIBBY: Michael, you should. MICHAEL: No. We stick together. JIN: Go. [he says something in Korean like: I'll stay here with Sayid.] MICHAEL [to Jin]: I'll be back, man. LIBBY: Ana, what are you doing? You can't live out here alone. ANA: I'm already alone. COMMERCIAL BREAK [FLASHBACK: Ana and Big Mike arrive in the LAPD parking lot.] BIG MIKE: I'll sign us out. ANA: What, you talking to me, now? BIG MIKE: I just want to go home A-L. ANA: Hey, I ordered that guy to stop twice. BIG MIKE: So does that mean every time we run into some yo-yo with a TV in his hands, you're going to draw down? RAGGS [entering]: Hey, Ana-Lucia -- you're guy -- we got him. [We see a suspect in an interrogation room from the other side of the mirrored glass.] CAPTAIN: His name is Jason McCormick. We picked him up on an assault on an elderly woman in Echo Park. His fingerprints matched a partial from your crime scene. We questioned him and he confessed. The D.A. is ready to file charges -- all he needs is for you to I.D. him. ANA: It's not him. CAPTAIN: He confessed. ANA: I don't know him. CAPTAIN [to the lawyers in the room]: Can you guys give us a minute? [to Ana] Why are you doing this? ANA: Because it's not him. CAPTAIN: He put 4 bullets into you -- hollow points through your vest -- he tried to kill you. You want a list of his priors? You want to put this guy back out on the street? ANA: It's not him. [Ana walks over to Shannon's body and is sad. Scene switches to Eko looking into the gun vault in the hatch. Locke enters.] LOCKE: What happened? Out there -- what happened? EKO: There was an accident. LOCKE: What kind of accident? EKO: A girl was shot and killed. LOCKE: What did she look like? EKO: She was tall with blonde hair. There was an Arab man... LOCKE: Shannon. You said there were 5 of you from the tail section? EKO: 4. LOCKE: 4 -- why didn't the rest of them come back with you? And Michael, Jin? EKO: They cannot come back right now. LOCKE: Can you take me to them? EKO [looking at the guns]: No. [Kate brings the anti-biotics and some water to Jack and Sawyer.] KATE: Here you go. What's happening? Why is he shaking? JACK: He's septic. The infection's gotten into the blood stream. If the anti-biotics don't bring the fever down he'll go into shock. Hold him up. KATE: Okay, I've got him. [Jack puts a pill in his mouth and pours some water in. Sawyer coughs it out.] JACK: Swallow it, swallow it, swallow it. KATE: I'll do it. JACK: No, no, I've got it. KATE: I can do it. [quietly to Sawyer]: Sawyer? Hey, you have to listen to me, okay? The only way that you are going to get better is if you take this pill. So I want you to swallow it, okay? Okay, here we go. [She puts the pill in his mouth and holds up the glass for him to drink] Now swallow, swallow. Good! Good. JACK: Nice job. I never learned the whole whisper-in-the-ear thing in med school. [Ana and the group with Sayid. Bernard is picking up his bags.] ANA: What are you doing? BERNARD: I'm going Ana. I don't want to be a part of this. I know everything you've done for us, and I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you. But I'm going. ANA [to Libby]: What about you? LIBBY: I just don't think you're the best judge of character. I was with you when you put Nathan in the pit. ANA: Alright, you want to go? Go. Leave. [To Jin] You -- go. [Jin looks at Sayid who nods for him to go.] ANA: Get out of here. Go. COMMERCIAL BREAK [Michael running through the jungle. He comes out of the jungle and sees Sun at her garden.] SUN: Michael! MICHAEL: Hi. Listen, it's alright. Jin is okay. SUN: Where is he? MICHAEL: He's fine; and I'll explain. But right now, I need to find Jack. [Jack talking to Eko in the hatch.] JACK [angry]: Where are they? [Eko doesn't answer] I said, where are they? LOCKE: Jack, it's not his fault... JACK: Shannon's dead! I'm not... [to Eko] You're going to take me back out there, right now. LOCKE: This man isn't the problem. He brought Sawyer back. JACK: Half-dead with a bullet hole in his shoulder, John. [to Eko] Are you going to talk to me or are you just going to sit there? EKO: Anything I say will only make you angry. So, yes, I will sit here. SUN [entering with Michael]: Jack! Jack! Jack! JACK: Michael. [They hug]. MICHAEL: We've got a problem, man. [We see Jack loading a rifle.] JACK: You remember how to get out there, right? MICHAEL: Yeah, I think so. LOCKE: We should stop and think about this, Jack. JACK: Think about what, John? Shannon's dead, Sayid's being held at gunpoint. You want to sit and hope that situation resolves itself -- be my guest. [Handing Michael a gun] You know how to use this? MICHAEL: Yes, sir. EKO: Stop! Please. What do you want? JACK: Excuse me? EKO: Peace? Revenge? Justice? And you are going out with all these guns? What do you want? JACK: I want all of our people back here safely. Your friend murdered... EKO: Ana-Lucia made a mistake. JACK: What did you say? EKO: Ana-Lucia made a mistake. JACK: Ana-Lucia. EKO: I will take you there. But only you, and no guns. JACK: Let's go. [Ana repeatedly removing and re-engaging the magazine of the gun.] ANA: Where are you from? [Sayid doesn't answer.] Where are you from? SAYID: I'm from Iraq. ANA: Do you have any kids? SAYID: Why are you asking me if I have children? ANA: I'm curious. SAYID: I do not. Do you have children? ANA: No. SAYID: Are you going to kill me? That's what you're thinking about isn't it? ANA: Should I? SAYID: Almost 40 days ago on this very island I tied a man to a tree and tortured him. I tortured him as I've tortured many men -- men whose voices I still hear in the night. Should you kill me? Maybe you should. Maybe you were meant to. ANA: I'm a cop. I was a cop. One night my partner and I responded to a burglary call. We were the first ones there. I covered the front and he went around the back. I was there a minute and then this kid comes right through the front door -- I tell him to put his hands up -- and he's says I'm making a mistake -- that he's a student and he wants to show me his I.D. I believed him. I just -- I let him reach. All I remember was a pop. By the time I hit the ground I thought I was dead. I feel dead. SAYID: What happened to him -- the man who shot you? [FLASHBACK to Ana in a bar. We see the guy who had been in custody before leaving the bar. Ana gets up and follows.] ANA: Hey, Jason. JASON: Do I know you? ANA [pulling her gun]: I was pregnant. [Ana shoots 3 times, walks over and shoots 3 more times.] SAYID: What happened to him? ANA: Nothing. They never found him. [She picks up Eko's homemade knife and swings it at Sayid, but only to cut the ropes. Then she drops the knife and gun at Sayid's feet.] Go ahead, pick it up, I deserve it. SAYID: What good it would be to kill you if we're both already dead? [Sayid goes to Shannon's body to carry it back.] COMMERCIAL BREAK [Kate with Sawyer who is shivering.] KATE: Hey! Hey, can you hear me? You're going to be okay. You're going to be alright. You're home. [Montage of Michael finding Vincent on the beach; Bernard, Libby, and Jin coming to the beach; Charlie and a bunch of redshirts greet them; Bernard and Rose reunite; Sun and Jin reunite; Eko and Jack come across Sayid carrying Shannon followed by Ana.]
