Lost: Namaste
April 5th 2009 20:47
Frank crash lands Ajira flight 316 on the Hydra island (the little one off of The Island), and looks over to find his copilot dead. He rushes back to check on the passengers, and finds Sun first.
SUN: What happened?
FRANK: I don’t know.
(He helps her stand up and they look around)
FRANK: Where’s everyone else? Jack? Kate? Hurley? Where’d they go?
BEN: (stands up behind them) They’re gone.
FRANK: Gone? Gone where?
BEN: How would I know?

THIRTY YEARS EARLIER
Sawyer stares at Hurley, Kate, and Jack as they get out of Jin’s Dharma van. For a long moment everyone just looks at each other in total disbelief. Finally, leave it to Hurley to break the ice.
“You’re alive, dude I can’t believe it!” He rushes to Sawyer and grabs him in a big hug, lifting him off the ground.
Sawyer laughs, hugging him back. “Easy on the ribs there, Kong.”
“Kong.” Hurley grins. “I actually missed that.”
“I missed you too, Hugo.”
Jack walks up and shakes hands with Saywer.
“Sawyer.”
“Doc.”
Jack steps back and Sawyer and Kate meets Kate’s gaze. She walks up and they hug.
“Hi. Good to see you, Kate.”
“You too, James.”
Sawyer once again looks at the friends he hasn’t seen in three years, amazed that Locke actually did what he said he was going to do. “Locke said he was gonna bring you back, but—“ He looks around “Where is he?”
After an uncomfortable moment, Jack finally answers, “John’s dead.”
“Dead?” This is news to Saywer. “How?”
“Doesn’t matter, he’s gone,” Jack answers, and Hurley suddenly notices what Jin and Sawyer are wearing and asks, “So what’s up with you guys in the old Dharma jump suits?”
Um…Saywer looks to Jin. “You didn’t tell them?”
“No, I was waiting for you.”
“Tell us what?” Kate asks, and after a moment, Sawyer answers, “We’re in the Dharma Initiative.”
Jack frowns. “They came back to The Island?”
“No, we came back.” Sawyer gives them a pensive look, adding, “And so did you…It’s 1977.”
Surely they didn’t hear right. Everyone just stares at him, and Hurley is the first to answer, “Oh…what?”
~*~*~
Now that the greetings are over, it’s time to catch up.
JACK: So you tell me that you’ve been here living with the Dharma Initiative for the past three years?
SAWYER: That’s right. How long’s it been for you since the chopper?
KATE: Three years.
[MILES (on Jin’s walkie-talkie): Hey Jin, this is Miles. Where are you? Over.
JINIf I don’t report in soon they’ll send out a patrol. What should we do with them?
HURLEY: Dude, you’re English is awesome!
SAWYER: What we do is we bring them in.
JACK: Bring us in where?
SAWYER: Back to the barracks in Dharmaville. You can’t be wandering around the jungle with the hostiles.
KATE: Hostiles?
SAYWER: …The Others.
HURLEY: What about everyone else from the plane? They can still be out there.
JIN: What do you mean “everyone else”?
JACK: We didn’t come back alone. Sayid was on the plane, too. Lapidus. And Sun.
With this sudden news that his wife was on the plane, Jin hurries off to The Flame, telling Saywer, “If a plane landed on the Island, Radzinsky will know.”
“Hold on, we gotta think about this,” Sawyer tries to stop hi, but it’s too late, Jin is already driving away.
Frustrated, Sawyer turns back to the group. “Alright, that’s it. Listen, you guys gotta stay put. Don’t go nowhere, don’t do nothing till I can figure out how the hell to explain where you came from.”
“Sawyer, wait,” Kate stops him. “Other than you and Jin who else is still here?”

Juliet pushes open the door leading into a security control room to ask Miles if he’s seen Sawyer lately. Miles sits at a nearby desk reading while Juliet pauses in front of a wall of security monitors.
“Nope,” Miles answers. “He’s not answering his walkie either.”
“Jin called him this morning then he just ran off without telling me what’s going on.” She sips out of the cup in her hand, and Miles walks over to check out the monitors.
“Well, let’s see what we’ve got…” he presses some buttons on the keyboard, taps a monitor, and sees Sawyer onscreen walking up to his house. “Hang on, there he is.”
~*~*~
Juliet goes home to find Sawyer quickly removing clothes from his closet.
“Hey.”
“You seen my baggy sweatshirt? The one with the bulldog on it?”
“It’s in the laundry,” she answers, grabbing his arm to get him to focus. “James, what’s going on?”
“They’re back!”
“I’m sorry? Who’s back?”
“Jack, Hurley, Kate,” he answers as if it’s obvious.
“What?”
“I know.” He walks quickly away from her and puts the pile of clothes on the bed. He begins grabbing more from the dresser adding, “They came back, Juliet.”
“Are they here now?”
“Yeah. Out at the North Point waiting for me to tell them what to do,” he answers, still hastily trying to back the back.
Juliet sits down, stunned. “How did they get…?”
“I’m not sure. They said they were on a plane.” Noticing her dazed look, Sawyer sits down next to her. “I don’t understand it anymore than you do but they’re here. And I gotta find a way to bring them in before somebody else finds them. And they screw up everything we’ve got here.”
Juliet wipes her head, blinking back into focus. ‘There’s um, a sub, coming in this afternoon.”
