Original timeline ... Hurley, Sun, Jack, and Frank have just arrived at the Man in Black's camp.]
LOCKE: Hello, Jack. I was hoping you'd come.
[Hurley hands Locke his torch.]
LOCKE: I think we have some catching up to do.
[Jack walks up to Hurley.]
JACK: Hurley. This was your idea. te alright with me talking with him alone?
HURLEY: [Handing Jack a gun.] It's all you, dude.
JACK: [To Locke] Alright, let's catch up.
[Jack and Locke walk away. They arrive at a clearing. Locke sits down on a log. Jack remains standing, facing Locke.]
JACK: Look just like him.
LOCKE: Does it bother you?
JACK: No, what bothers me is I don't have any idea what the hell te are.
LOCKE: Sure te do.
[Jack kneels.]
JACK: Why John Locke?
LOCKE: Because he was stupid enough to believe that he'd been brought here for a reason. Because he pursued that belief until it got him killed. And because te were kind enough to bring his body back here in a nice wooden box.
JACK: He had to be dead before te could look like him.
LOCKE: That's right.
[Jack nods.]
JACK: Who else have te looked like?
LOCKE: Jack, what do te really want to ask me?
JACK: The third giorno we were here I saw... I chased my father through the jungle... my, my dead father. Was that you?
LOCKE: Yes, that was me.
JACK: Why?
LOCKE: te needed to find water. This may be hard for te to believe, Jack, but all I've ever been interested in is helping you.
JACK: To help me? To do what?
LOCKE: Leave. But because Jacob chose you, te were trapped on this Island, before te even got here. Now Jacob's dead. We don't have to be trapped anymore. We can get on an airplane and fly away anytime we want to.
JACK: If we can just fly away whenever we want, why are te still here?
LOCKE: Because it has to be all of us.
[Jack looks momentarily emotional.]
LOCKE: What?
JACK: John Locke was the only one of us that ever believed in this place. He did everything he could to keep us from leaving this island.
LOCKE: John Locke was not a believer, Jack. He was a sucker.

HURLEY: Are we gonna tell Sun?
SAWYER: Kate’s telling her now. I thought we might want to avoid huddles.
HURLEY: What about Sayid?
SAWYER: Sayid ain’t invited. He’s gone over to the dark side.

[Officer Schaub nods and leaves.]
SAWYER: Katherine Anne Austen. Wanted for arson, assault on a federal officer, murder in the first degree.

KATE: That’s because I’m not.
SAWYER: te be sure and mention that to feds when they get here.
KATE: There something te wanted?
SAWYER: te remember me? From the airport? We were on the same flight from Sydney.
KATE: Yeah, I remember.

KATE: Are te hitting on me?
SAWYER: [laughs] It’d never work, sweetheart. I’m a cop, you’re a murderer.
KATE: I already told you, I’m not a murderer.
SAWYER: Yeah, well, I’m still a cop.
KATE: So, why didn’t te arrest me?
SAWYER: I did arrest you.
KATE: No, in L.A.X., the elevator, te saw I was wearing handcuffs.
SAWYER: I didn’t see any handcuffs. All I saw was a pretty lady who needed the door held open for her.
KATE: te know what I think? I think te let me go because te went to Australia, and te didn’t want anyone to know te were there. Should I tell that to the feds when they get here?

ZOE: Where’s the man in charge?
HURLEY: Who’s she?
SAWYER: That’s Widmore’s number two.
[Locke comes out of a tent and smiles at Zoe.]

DESMOND: ciao there. How are you? Uh, we met at the airport. The, uh, the baggage claim.
CLAIRE: Oh, yeah, right.
DESMOND: Nice. I’m Desmond. Desmond Hume. Um, I never got your name. Uh…[looks at the sign in sheet.] “Claire Littleton.” So--So how te doin’?
CLAIRE: Um, I’m okay. Better now. I actually had a bit of a scare, ended up in the hospital.
DESMOND: Oh, no. I’m sorry. Are you…
CLAIRE: Oh, no. It’s all good now, so…Oh, da the way, uh, te were right. It’s a boy.
DESMOND: I have a nose for these things. Look, um…excuse me if this sounds a bit personal, but I couldn’t help noticing you’re going to an adoption agency….alone.
CLAIRE: Uh…yeah. You’re right. It is personal.
DESMOND: No, I just meant that te should have some--some legal representation.
CLAIRE: What, are te a lawyer?
DESMOND: No, no. But, uh, it just so happens that I’m on my to see one. te know, adoption contracts are complicated; and, te should be careful because te could find yourself in a situation that’s irreversible.
CLAIRE: Yeah, I-I don’t have money for a lawyer. [Desmond follows Claire onto an elevator, she presses 15th floor button.] What floor?
DESMOND: Um…I’m--I’m going to 15 as well. Look, this, um, this attorney I’m seeing--she’s excellent. Uh, te know, plus, she owes me a favor. So…why don’t te just come and meet her? te know, I think she could really help you.
[Claire and Desmond leave elevator.]
DEMOND: Look, I promise te it won’t cost te a cent. Please. It’d be my absolute pleasure.
CLAIRE: Uh, sure.

ILANA: Claire Littleton, um…
DESMOND: I was hoping you’d be able to help her, um….
ILANA: I’m sorry…Claire Littleton from Australia?
CLAIRE: Um, do I know you?
ILANA: No, but this is a quite a coincidence. We’ve been looking for you. Desmond, do te mind if I speak with Ms. Littleton alone for a few minutes?
DESMOND: No, absolutely fine. Go right ahead.
[Claire follows Ilana away from reception area.]
editAct 3[Original timeline. Claire walks into Locke’s camp and goes to Hurley.]
LOCKE: Listen up, everyone.
CLAIRE: Hey. What’s going on?
HURLEY: People are trying to kill us again.
LOCKE: All this is happening a bit sooner than I’d expected, but these people have forced our hand, claiming we ha rubato, stola something from them, trying to provoke us into a confrontation. Well, if that’s what they want, that’s what they’ll get. Gather your things, we’re going to the other island and we’re getting on that plane. James, I need your help with something. [They walk away as Jack watches them.] There’s a barca moored just a few hours down the puntellare, riva from here. I want te to get it and meet the rest of us on the other side of these bluffs. [Locke shows James a map] We’ll all sail over to the other island together.
SAWYER: How come we’re not all heading for it together?
LOCKE: The bigger the group, the slower it moves.
SAWYER: All right. I could use another pair of hands.
LOCKE: Take whoever you. How about it, Freckles? Know anything about sailing?
KATE: I know enough.
LOCKE: Good. We’ll be waitin’ for ya. Sayid, te got a minute? [Jack watches Sayid follow Locke.]
SAWYER [whispers]: Give me a hand with something’? [Jack follows Sawyer] Listen up, ‘cause I’m only gonna say this once. We’re not going to that rendezvous point to pick up Locke. I got a deal with Widmore.
JACK: What kind of deal?
SAWYER: Just listen. First chance te get, double back, hoof it to this spot. [points to map] There’s an old dock. Grab Hugo, Sun and Lapidus. Kate and I will meet te there.
JACK: What about Sayid and Claire?
SAWYER: Sayid’s a zombie and Claire’s nuts. She gave up her ticket when she tried to kill Kate. And I ain’t gonna let that happen again. That’s Hugo, Sun and the pilot. Only them. Understand?
JACK: But, how am I supposed to get us away from--from Locke?
SAWYER: te figure it out. [Sawyer hands map to Jack and goes to Kate.] Ready to roll?
KATE: What was that all about?
SAWYER: Guy talk. [Kate looks at Jack as she leaves with Sawyer.]
[Locke and Sayid, away from camp]
LOCKE: I need te to go out to where I’ve got Desmond.
SAYID: I thought te weren’t going to give him back.
LOCKE: I’m not. You’re gonna kill him. And that’s not gonna be a problem, is it, Sayid? te do still want what te asked me for, right?
SAYID: Yes, I do.
LOCKE: Then, go do what I said. [Sayid walks away. Locke heads back to camp.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Sayid, gun in hand, walks toward the well. Points gun at Desmond, who is bloody and sitting in shallow water.]
DESMOND: So what did he offer ya? If you’re gonna shoot me in cold blood, brother…I think I have a right to know what you’re getting’ in exchange for it.
SAYID: He told me I could get something back I lost.
DESMOND: And what did te lose?
SAYID: The woman I loved.
DESMOND: And where is she now?
SAYID: Dead.
DESMOND: And what makes te think Locke can bring her back?
SAYID: I died…and he brought me back.
DESMOND: So, what will te tell her?
SAYID: What do te mean?
DESMOND: This woman--when she asks te what te did to be with her again…what will te tell her?

KATE: Ah. te sure this is a good idea?

KATE: Going back to get Locke.
SAWYER: Of course not. It’s a terrible idea, which is why we ain’t doing it.
KATE: What?
SAWYER: We’re gonna ditch Locke. You, me Jack, Hurley, Sun and that pilot that looks like he’s stepped off the set of a Burt Reynolds movie.
KATE: When were te planning on telling me this?
SAWYER: Now.
KATE: Wait. te didn’t say Claire.
SAWYER: She ain’t coming. The Claire te came back for is gone.

[She takes out a note pad from her bag and writes]: “You did this to me!”
LOCKE [scoffs]: I’m sorry, Sun, but I didn’t do anything to you. [Locke touches Cindy’s shoulder.] James should be on his way da now. Just keep everyone moving to the beach, I’ll catch up with te there.

DESMOND: Oh, no. I’m sorry. Are you…
CLAIRE: Oh, no. It’s all good now, so…Oh, da the way, uh, te were right. It’s a boy.
DESMOND: I have a nose for these things. Look, um…excuse me if this sounds a bit personal, but I couldn’t help noticing you’re going to an adoption agency….alone.
CLAIRE: Uh…yeah. You’re right. It is personal.
DESMOND: No, I just meant that te should have some--some legal representation.
CLAIRE: What, are te a lawyer?
DESMOND: No, no. But, uh, it just so happens that I’m on my to see one. te know, adoption contracts are complicated; and, te should be careful because te could find yourself in a situation that’s irreversible.
CLAIRE: Yeah, I-I don’t have money for a lawyer. [Desmond follows Claire onto an elevator, she presses 15th floor button.] What floor?
DESMOND: Um…I’m--I’m going to 15 as well. Look, this, um, this attorney I’m seeing--she’s excellent. Uh, te know, plus, she owes me a favor. So…why don’t te just come and meet her? te know, I think she could really help you.
[Claire and Desmond leave elevator.]

LOCKE: All this is happening a bit sooner than I’d expected, but these people have forced our hand, claiming we ha rubato, stola something from them, trying to provoke us into a confrontation. Well, if that’s what they want, that’s what they’ll get. Gather your things, we’re going to the other island and we’re getting on that plane. James, I need your help with something. [They walk away as Jack watches them.] There’s a barca moored just a few hours down the puntellare, riva from here. I want te to get it and meet the rest of us on the other side of these bluffs.

SAWYER [whispers]: Give me a hand with something’? [Jack follows Sawyer] Listen up, ‘cause I’m only gonna say this once. We’re not going to that rendezvous point to pick up Locke. I got a deal with Widmore.
JACK: What kind of deal?
SAWYER: Just listen. First chance te get, double back, hoof it to this spot. [points to map] There’s an old dock. Grab Hugo, Sun and Lapidus. Kate and I will meet te there.
JACK: What about Sayid and Claire?
SAWYER: Sayid’s a zombie and Claire’s nuts. She gave up her ticket when she tried to kill Kate. And I ain’t gonna let that happen again. That’s Hugo, Sun and the pilot. Only them. Understand?
JACK: But, how am I supposed to get us away from--from Locke?
SAWYER: te figure it out. [Sawyer hands map to Jack and goes to Kate.] Ready to roll?

SAYID: Yes, I do.
LOCKE: Then, go do what I said. [Sayid walks away. Locke heads back to camp.]

SAYID: He told me I could get something back I lost.
DESMOND: And what did te lose?
SAYID: The woman I loved.
DESMOND: And where is she now?
SAYID: Dead.
DESMOND: And what makes te think Locke can bring her back?
SAYID: I died…and he brought me back.

SAWYER: Of course not. It’s a terrible idea, which is why we ain’t doing it.
KATE: What?
SAWYER: We’re gonna ditch Locke. You, me Jack, Hurley, Sun and that pilot that looks like he’s stepped off the set of a Burt Reynolds movie.
KATE: When were te planning on telling me this?
SAWYER: Now.
KATE: Wait. te didn’t say Claire.
SAWYER: She ain’t coming. The Claire te came back for is gone.
