Lost - Season 1 - Episodes 21-23

Disc 6
21. The Greater Good/Sides
Flashbacks: Sayid is blackmailed to spy on an Australian sleeper cell containing an old friend, Essam, so that he can learn Nadia's whereabouts. He has to persude Essam into his suicide mission, citing that they both lost someone. He agrees to honour them both by joining his friend in the mission. As they're about to leave, Sayid confesses and Essam shoots himself. Sayid is given a ticket to an Oceanic flight to LA in 2 hours, but he asks them to change the day so he can bury his friend.

Boone is buried, Locke appears and blames himself, telling them about the plane, and that Boone was a hero. He says it's his fault and gives Shannon his backpack, apologising. She asks Sayid to take revenge for her.
Jack is angry at Locke, disbelieving his story, but Kate slips him sleeping pills as he's still recovering from the transfusion.
Claire is afraid to sleep, so Charlie persuades her to get some sleep while he looks after the as yet unnamed baby (Charlie calls him Turnip-Head), reassuring her noone will take him from her. In Charlie's care, the baby doesn't stop crying. When Sawyer speaks, he stops crying, so Sawyer reluctantly reads to him.
Walt tells Michael he's worried about the safety of the raft.
Locke takes Sayid to the plane. Sayid asks Locke about his back scar. He replies that it's a war wound. The find the drugs and Sayid confirms it's heroin. Locke asks why he isn't trusted. Sayid points out his concealed gun. Locke reveals it was taken from the Nigerian priest, gives it to Sayid and admits that it was he that knocked Sayid out when they tried to triangulate. Sayid points the gun at him, but Locke says it was unwise to lead people to a place where people were dying. When asked about the hatch, Locke tells Sayid he doesn't know what Boone meant.
Sayid tells Shannon he thinks Boone's death was a genuine accident, but she gets upset and says he doesn't understand. She steals the key from a sleeping Jack, and gets a gun from the case. As Kate, Jack and Sayid appear to stop her, she shoots Locke, telling Jack that he said Locke was a liar. But Sayid had jumped toward her so the bullet just grazed Locke. But when it's just the two of them, Sayid asks Locke to take him to the hatch, saying "no more lies."

22. Born To Run
Flashbacks: Kate changes her identity and collects a letter that makes her cry. She visits Diane, who's dying of cancer, and surprises Tom, a doctor, in his car. She says she needs his help. They go to Tom's house, where we learn he has a wife and baby who are visiting relatives. With a few hours to kill before Diane's MRI, they drive out to a tree in the middle of the night. They dig up a NKOTB lunchbox with various childhood items from 1989, including Tom's toy plane and an audio cassette, predicting they'd be married in 20 years. Back at the hospital, Diane is Kate's mother, but she calls for help when she sees Kate. Security come after het and she asks for Tom's car to escape, but he gets in. She crashes the car, he's unconscious and bleeding so she runs away as the police arrive.

Charlie tells Kate they'll be famous when they get back. She doesn't look happy at the idea.
Schoolteacher Arzt tells the raft gang they can't sail for several months, as they should've gone yesterday; monsoon season will send them south, to Antartica. Kate wants on the raft too, but Michael says it's full. She says she has sailing experience, but Sawyer doesn't.
Sayid leads Jack to Locke, and the hatch, now quite substantially uncovered. Jack wants to open it, Sayid doesn't. Jack is angry that he wasn't told, Locke points out Jack kept the guns a secret.
Sun asks Jin to speak to her, asking if he's really going on the raft. He says he is. She walks away.
Sawyer confronts Kate about the raft, letting lets her know he's worked out that she was a fugitive, and that it's her only chance of avoiding a high-profile rescue. He says she's not taking his spot on the raft, but she says if she wants his place, she'll get it.
Michael falls ill, Jack tells him to rest. He thinks there was something in his water. Michael suspects Sawyer. Hurley lets slip about Kate's past in front of Locke. He asks why he didn't think everyone had a right to know who they were living with.
Jack asks Kate if she poisoned Michael. She's offended, but he says he has no idea what she's capable of.
Walt tells Locke he didn't poison Michael. Locke tells him he didn't suspect him, and holds his hand. Walt flinches and suddenly tells John not to open the "thing".
Michael tells Sawyer he's off the raft for poisoning him, as he's the criminal amongst them. Sawyer loses it, and reveals Kate as the crminal. He grabs her backpack and shows that she has stolen Joanna (the drowned woman)'s passport. He says she just wants off the island before the press arrive, and doesn't care about anyone else. She confesses she was heading for jail, but didn't poison Michael. Everyone walks away from her in disgust. When they're alone, Kate asks Sawyer why he's so desperate to leave. He says there's nothing to stay for. She doesn't respond.
Jack asks Sun if she was trying to poison Jin. She confesses she just wanted him to stay. He tells her to accept that he's going.
Walt confesses to Michael that he burned the first raft, as he didn't want to leave. But when Michael suggests they stay, Walt says they have to leave.
Sun tells Kate that Jack knows it was her who poisoned Michael... But not that it was Kate's idea.

23. Exodus (Part 1)
Flashbacks: Walt is disobedient to Michael in a Sydney hotel. Jack meets Ana-Lucia at the airport bar. We learn Christian died of a heart attack. Sawyer- James Ford- is deported from Australia after headbutting a government minister at a bar. Kate is taunted by the marshal with the toy plane at airport security. We learn Tom died and she only stole the plane from the bank, to atone for his death. The marshal had put it there. Sayid leaves a bag with Shannon at the airport, but she leaves when Boone arrives. They argue about an upgrade and she tells a security guard that an Arab left a bag on her seat. Sun spills a hot drink over Jin's lap and overhears an American woman bitch about her, assuming she can't speak English.

Rousseau shows up at camp to warn them of a pillar of black smoke inland, which means the others are coming. Last time it appeared, they took her baby, and will come for all of them. Their three options are to run, hide or die. Jack prioritises the raft, but they see the smoke for themselves. She points out she can hide alone, but they need to hide 40 people. They show her the hatch, but she doesn't recognise it. She promises to take them to the black rock, The Dark Territory, to get dynamite to blow the hatch open.
Jack gives Sawyer a gun for the raft and they say their goodbyes, as the raft is readied for departure. Sawyer passes on Christian's message from the bar in Australia.
Jack, Locke, Kate, Arzt and Hurley go with Rousseau, after saying goodbye to the raft crew. Kate misses her chance to see Sawyer. Locke notices scratches on Rousseau's arm. She says they're from a bush. As they enter "Le Territoire Foncé", she says that this is where people got infected and Montand lost his arm. Arzt turns back.
After being made to feel that he's of no use to the raft builders, Sawyer returns with a suitable mast.
Arzt returns, chased by the monster. They all hide, except Locke and Hurley, as Locke calmly points out that it's going the other way. Rousseau calls it a security system to protect the island.
Walt gives Vincent to Shannon, saying he helped him when his mother died.
Sayid gives Michael a transmitter and flare gun.
They arrive at Black Rock- a galleon, very deep inland.
Sun gives Jin a list of English words in phonetic Chinese. They both apologise, and he says he's being punished so is leaving to get them both help. They kiss.
Charlie collects messages in a bottle from those staying behind. They say goodbyes as the raft leaves. Sawyer, Michael, Walt and Jin are on board. Vincent swims out to follow, but Walt sends him back.
The pillar of black smoke is still visible.
