Lost - Season 3 - Disc 4

13. The Man From Tallahassee
Flashbacks:
Locke has his disability benefit suspended because he's claiming for depression and has stopped going to therapy. He walks out. He's alone in a bedsit when a young man, Peter Talbot, visits John, claiming his mother is a victim of an Adam Seward's cons. He knows about the kidney thing, but John claims it was anonymous and can't help him. John confronts Adam (Anthony) and tells him call off the wedding. He says he will. Detectives Mason and Reed ask him if he knows Peter Talbot, he denies it but discovers his name and address were found on Peter's dead body. John confronts Anthony, who denies killing Peter- then pushes John out of an eight-storey window. At the hospital, the detectives tell him his father has fled to Mexico. John tries out his wheelchair for the first time and cries.

Kate, Sayid and Locke watch Juliet join Jack and Tom, telling him it's tomorrow. She then goes into the building and brings out Ben in a wheelchair. Rousseau leaves, Kate wants to go in gung ho, insisting he must be drugged. John says it's Jack- he's doing it for a good reason, they just need to know what it is. They send Kate in, who catches Jack playing piano. He warns her to get out, pointing at a CCTV camera, but men burst in with guns. They have Sayid too. She insists it's just the two of them after Jack appears to side against her.
John visits Ben, saying he's not after Jack but the sub. Alex interrupts and John hides them both in a wardrobe while Tom updates Ben about Kate and Sayid. Ben tells him to seperate them and leave Jack and Juliet to him. Ben sends Richard to get him the man from Tallahassee. John asks Alex to get him Sayid's backpack. Ben accuses Locke of wanting to blow up the sub using Mikhail's C4, and that he knows John was in a wheelchair- and how he got there. He asks John how long it took, and John realises Ben wonders why it hasn't happened to him. Ben asks if that's why he's blowing up the sub- because if he leaves, he'll be back in the chair. Ben asks him not to blow up the sub because he was one of the few born on the island and needs to give his people the illusion that they can leave. He tells John to imagine the island has a very large box that materialises anything he wants. John tells him to imagine a new sub. Ben asks him why he's so angry. Locke tells him it's because the others are hypocrites who don't know how special the island is. Ben points out he's been there his whole life- John points out who's in the wheelchair and who isn't.
Jack tells Kate he told her not to come for him, she didn't think he meant it. She asks what happened, he tells her her made a deal, they're letting him go home in the morning. She asks why he trusts them, he says because she told him to by asking him to save Sawyer's life. Juliet tells them he has to go, and he promises Kate he'll come back for her.
When she gets the pack, Sayid says Alex'a name, adding she looks like her mother. Alex says she's dead- Sayid says that's what they told her. She returns and John asks her to take him to the sub. Ben tells him Jack's about to leave on the sub, and since the anomaly it can't return anyway. John leaves anyway. Alex warns him he's being manipulated, and that Ben's making him think his ideas are John's own. Rousseau sees Alex through the bushes as they get to the sub.
Jack makes Ben promise to let his friends go. He agrees to do so once Jack has left the island. Juliet thanks Ben for keeping his promise. When they get to the sub, they see John ambushed by guards. He apologises to Jack as the submarine blows up. Richard later uncuffs John as he accuses Ben of setting the whole thing up. Ben confirms he couldn't be seen to go back on his word. He shows John what came out of the magic box- Anthony Cooper.

John catches him burying the matroyshka, suggesting he find a safer inland spot. He puts it in the Pearl's cistern then hides when he hears Ben and Juliet approach. He watches them plot to get Jack for the operation and takes a walkie talkie. When John takes a team to the Pearl, Paulo gets the matroyshka and breaks it open, concealing its hidden velvet bag in his crotch. He convinces Nikki that not finding the bag was for the best. She discovers his nicotine gum, and when Sawyer refuses to give her a gun she takes Paulo into the woods to confront him. She throws a Medusa spider at him, paralysing him for 8 hours and gets the diamonds. She is then bitten herself, so runs to bury the diamonds and heads for the beach where she collapses in front of Hurley and Sawyer.

Jin wonders if it was the monster. They put their bodies together ready for burial and go through their things. They discover the Exposé script and a walkie talkie. Sawyer concludes that they must have been working with the others, so given their past kidnappings, they decide to do a perimeter sweep, using one of their guns. Desmond tells Hurley he saw Sawyer and Nikki arguing that morning, when Sawyer has insisted he doesn't know who they are. Charlie confesses to Sun that it was he who kidnapped her. She walks away. Sawyer admits Nikki asked him for a gun, but he hadn't mentioned it because she'd buried something. Sun asks what, Sawyer tosses her the velvet bag, which is full of diamonds. Sun confronts him about the kidnap, he confesses it was his idea. She gives him the diamonds back, with a slap. Sawyer pours them onto Nikki's body in their grave. Her eyes open as the dirt hits her face. Nobody notices and they are buried.

16. One Of Us
A very good Juliet episode.

I'm putting a stop to this as it's doubling the time it's taking to rewatch. There are much better summaries out there.
