Written by Jennifer Johnson & Paul Dini 
Directed by Jack Bender 
[Charlie looking very sweaty trying to play guitar.] 
LOCKE: Charlie. Charlie. How about you and I go for walk? 
CHARLIE: No. No thanks, Locke. I think I'm going to stay in today. 
LOCKE: Come on. Fresh air will do you good. 
[Charlie looks terrible. They stare at each other a moment.] 
[Cut to Jack holding Kate's mug shots.] 
KATE [entering]: I take better pictures than that. Smaller, too, if you want something for your wallet. 
JACK: I just came by for a few things and this was. . . this was with my stuff. [He hands it to her]. 
KATE: So you're not staying? 
JACK: Call me a broken record, but caves are a natural shelter. And a hell of a lot safer than living here on the beach. 
KATE: You're mad at me. 
JACK: No. Kate, I'm -- I just don't understand why you won't come with me. Us. It's maybe a mile up there, if that. 
KATE: We crashed 8 days ago, Jack. I'm not setting up house here. 
JACK: I want off this island too, but we both know that's not going to happen any time soon. 
KATE: Sayid has a plan. 
JACK: Yeah, to find the source of the distress code, I know. 
KATE: The signal's coming from somewhere on the island. If we can find it. . . 
JACK: The signal has been running on a loop for 16 years, Kate. And the woman that left it, she wasn't rescued. What makes you think it's going to be any different for us? 
KATE: I believe it. 
JACK: Well, I wish I shared your faith. 
SAWYER [entering]: Wouldn't mind sharing a few things with her myself. 
KATE: What do you want, Sawyer? 
SAWYER: Heard the doctor was vacating the premises. Thought I'd best lay claims to my new digs before somebody else did [he drops his suitcases]. I could fix this place up real good. Might even find somebody to share it with me [looking at Kate]. 
JACK [to Kate]: I'll talk to you later. 
[Kate watches Jack leave with a sad look on her face. Sawyer, smiling, waves.] 
[We see Charlie walking in the jungle. We hear animal grunting sounds.] 
CHARLIE: Locke, is that you? 
CHARLIE [running, slow motion, VO]: Bless me father, for I have sinned. 
CHARLIE [in a confessional with priest]: It's been a week since my last confession. 
PRIEST: Go ahead my son. 
CHARLIE: Last night I had physical relations with a girl I didn't even know. 
PRIEST: I see. Anything else? 
CHARLIE: Yeah. Uh, right after that I had relations with another girl. Then straight after that I watched while they had relations with each other. You see, it's, it's my band, father, Driveshaft. We've been playing the clubs in Manchester. And, uh, we've been getting some heat, a following, you know, and, uh, the girls. There's some real temptations that come with the territory, if you know what I mean. 
PRIEST: Well, we all have our temptations, but giving in to them, that's your choice. As we live our lives it's really nothing but a series of choices, isn't it? 
CHARLIE: Well, then, I've made my choice. I have to quit the band. 
[We see Charlie leaving the church. Someone is there drumming on the pews.] 
LIAM: And the meek shall inherit the earth. 
CHARLIE: Liam, what are doing? This is a church. 
LIAM: Relax, choir boy. I bring good tidings of great joy. We've just been signed. A recording contract. You're going to be a rock god. 
[Shot of Charlie running from a boar. Some luggage falls, the boar is trapped in a large net trap.] 
LOCKE: Nice work, Charlie. You make excellent bait. 
CHARLIE [angrily]: I'm glad I could oblige. Now give me my bloody drugs. 
COMMERCIAL BREAK 
CHARLIE: Did you hear what I said? I want my drugs back. I need 'em. 
LOCKE: Yet you gave them to me. Hmm. 
CHARLIE: And I bloody well regret it. I'm sick, man. Can't you see that? 
LOCKE: I think you're a lot stronger than you know, Charlie. And I'm going to prove it to you. I'll let you ask me for your drugs three times. The third time, I'm going to give them to you. Now, just so we're clear, this is one. 
CHARLIE: Why? Why? Why are you doing this? To torture me? Just get rid of them and have done with it? 
LOCKE: If I did that you wouldn't have a choice, Charlie. And having choices, making decisions based on more than instinct, is the only thing that separates you from him [indicating the boar]. 
[Locke grabs the boar's ear and goes to slash it's throat. Charlie looks away.] 
[Shot of an antenna on a pole. Sayid, Boone and Kate on the beach.] 
SAYID: Three antenna. Three points of a triangle. One here on the beach. Another, Kate will position in the jungle, roughly two kilometers in, and the third I'll take to high ground, up there. If the French transmission is coming from somewhere from within our triangulation, I'll be able to locate the source. But there are two complications. 
BOONE: Of course there are. 
SAYID: The power cells I grafted onto the antennas are dry. There's no telling how long they'll last. A minute -- maybe more, maybe less. 
KATE: So we have to wait until we're in position before we turn them on. 
BOONE: Wait. Wait a second. How are we going to be able to tell that we're actually in the right position? We have no way to communicate with each other. 
[Sayid grabs bottle rockets from a pack.] 
KATE: Bottle rockets? 
SAYID: Thank god for fireworks smugglers. Now, when I'm in position I'll fire off my rocket. When you two see it, you fire yours. As soon as the last one has gone up we all switch on our antennas. 
KATE: Okay, but you said there are two complications. 
SAYID: The battery in the transceiver is dead. Without the transceiver all of this is for nothing. Something from a laptop computer would probably work, but I've not been able to find anything. 
KATE: I think I might know where to look. 
[Shot of Kate at Sawyer's place.] 
KATE: You're hoarding like a pack rat since the crash and you don't have a single laptop? 
SAWYER: We are testy. Still upset about your little break up? You and Jacko? 
KATE: It must be exhausting. 
SAWYER: What's that? 
KATE: Living like a parasite -- always taking, never giving. 
SAWYER: Well, you got me pegged, don't you? 
KATE: I get it now. You don't want off this island because there's nothing for you to go back for. Nobody you miss. And no one misses you. 
SAWYER: Oh, and you're feeling sorry for me. 
KATE: I don't feel sorry for you. I pity you. 
[Sawyer looks hurt, then smiles, then reaches into a suitcase, pulls out a laptop, and gives her the battery.] 
SAWYER: All you had to do was say please. 
[She reaches for it, and he pulls it away and then hands it to her again.] 
[We see Charlie playing guitar. Charlie notices Charlie Hurley and Jack carrying luggage into the caves.] 
HURLEY: Dude, what's in these things, cinderblocks? 
JACK: I packed everything I thought might be useful here without leaving the others shorthanded. 
CHARLIE: Hey, you guys need a hand? [Hurley and Jack drop what they're carrying]. I used to load the band's equipment, before we had roadies, way back in the day. Here let me. 
JACK: Charlie, the zipper's. . . 
[Charlie grabs a bag and everything spills out.] 
JACK: ...broken. 
CHARLIE: Sorry, just trying to help. 
JACK: I know, that's okay. [to Hurley)] Hey, want to help me grab the rest of those bags? 
HURLEY: Oh, could I? 
[Shot of Charlie riffling through the bag looking at the Rx bottles.] 
JACK: What are you doing? 
CHARLIE: Oh, uh, I have a headache. 
JACK: [grabbing the bottle Charlie's holding]: Diazepam. That's for anxiety. 
CHARLIE: I was looking for aspirin. 
JACK: Pretty strong stuff for a headache. 
CHARLIE: Yeah, right. 
JACK: Hey, you okay? You're looking a little. . . 
CHARLIE: No, it's nothing, it's just a headache. 
[Charlie starts cleaning up the spilled suitcase.] 
JACK: Charlie, leave it. Go get some water. Maybe you're dehydrated. Charlie, I got it. Go take care of yourself, man. We don't need you right now. 
[Charlie goes back to his guitar looking grumpy and lonely.] 
[FLASHBACK] 
[We hear the sound of church bells.] 
LIAM: Come on, Charlie boy. We can't do this without you. You are bloody Driveshaft. 
[We see nuns walking by.] 
CHARLIE: Watch the language. 
LIAM [holding the record contract]: This is our shot at the big time. What? You don't want to be famous? 
CHARLIE: It's not about all that. I only care about the music. 
LIAM: Yeah, your music. Your songs that got us signed. I'm just a clown with a pretty face that sings them. And you want to take away my chance to be somebody? 
CHARLIE: Liam, it's not about you. It's -- I love the band. It's not who I am. Sometimes I just get lost in it. 
LIAM: Won't happen -- because I'll be there looking out for you. We'll look out for each other. That's what brothers do, right? Right? 
[Liam starts horsing around with Charlie.] 
CHARLE: Wait, wait, wait wait wait. Just promise me one thing. If things get too crazy no matter what, if I say we're done, we walk away. 
LIAM: We walk away. 
CHARLIE: Liam, promise. 
LIAM: We walk away. You're the rock god baby brother. 
[Big smiles and then they run around, playing.] 
[We see Jin getting water in a bowl from the spring. Shot of handcuff still on his wrist. Sun approaches.] 
SUN [subtitled]: You should have the doctor look at your wrist. 
JIN [subtitled]: It's fine. I will heal. What are you wearing? (Sun's wearing a camisole type top). It's indecent. Cover yourself. 
SUN [subtitled, defiantly]: It's hot. 
[Shot of Hurley walking into the caves carrying a guitar.] 
HURLEY: Hey, dude. This yours? 
CHARLIE: Oh yeah. You're probably wondering because I play bass in Driveshaft. I wrote a bunch of tunes on that -- You, All, Everybody. 
HURLEY: Listen, uh, man. Jack just wants you to find another place for it. He's moving supplies and says it's in the way. 
CHARLIE [walking inside the cave where Jack is]: You know? A lot of people look up to me. They respect me. And you, you just treat me like I'm some bloody child. Like I'm some useless joke. 
JACK: What are you talking about? 
CHARLIE: Charlie's not good enough to do this, Charlie's just in the way. Put Charlie onto that. 
JACK: Sit down. Let me take a look at you man. 
CHARLIE: Oh, you're going to look out for me, yeah. We'll look out for each other, that's how it is? I'm not interested. 
JACK: Charlie, just calm down, alright. You're not yourself. 
CHARLIE: You don't know me. I'm a bloody rock god. 
[Then the cave caves in.] 
HURLEY: Oh, no. 
[Jin and Sun look. Hurley, Jin and Sun run up. Charlie runs out of the rubble.] 
HURLEY: Charlie, where's Jack? Where's Jack? 
COMMERCIAL BREAK 
HURLEY: Jack, Jack can you hear me? 
CHARLIE: I don't know what happened. We were just talking and it -- and it came down on us -- all happened so fast. 
HURLEY: Dude, we gotta get help. Charlie, go down to the beach and get help. 
CHARLIE: Okay, I'm on it. 
HURLEY: Make sure you tell Kate. 
[Shot of Kate and Sayid walking in the jungle.] 
KATE: What we're doing -- chasing some phantom distress signal -- what are the odds of this working? 
SAYID: No worse than the odds of us surviving that plane crash. 
KATE: People survive plane crashes all the time. 
SAYID: Not like this one. The tail section broke off while we were still in the air. Our section cart wheeled through the jungle and yet we escaped with nothing but a few scrapes. How do you explain that? 
KATE: Blind, dumb luck? 
SAYID: No one's that lucky. We shouldn't have survived. 
KATE: Sorry Sayid, some things just happen, no rhyme, no reason. 
[We see Charlie running onto the beach.] 
CHARLIE: Hey, hey, we need help. 
MICHAEL: What's wrong, man? 
CHARLIE: It's Jack, he's trapped. 
BOONE: What? 
CHARLIE: A cave collapsed. We don't even know if he's alive. Come on, we've gotta go. 
MICHAEL: Hey, uh, uh, Scott? 
STEVE: I'm Steve. 
SCOTT: I'm Scott. 
MICHAEL: We've got an emergency, grab a couple of guys and let's go. 
CHARLIE: We've got to go now. 
[Boone starts running off with them, but runs back to Shannon.] 
BOONE: Shannon, you have to be ready to do something really important, okay? At 5 o'clock sharp you have to be ready to turn that antenna on over there. There's a switch at the base. 
SHANNON: Why? 
BOONE: Because Kate and Sayid are triangulating the French signal. But the antenna's power's really weak so you have to wait until they fire their bottle rockets. Then you fire this one. Then you turn on the antenna. Got it? 
SHANNON: The switch is where now? 
BOONE: Did you hear a word I said? Can you or can't you do it? 
SHANNON: Yeah, I can. 
BOONE: Okay, [hands her the bottle rocket], okay. 
CHARLIE [running to go back to the caves]: Wait. Kate. Hey, we have to tell Kate about Jack. 
SAWYER: Sorry sport, you just missed her. Her and Mohammad headed into the woods about 10 minutes ago. 
CHARLIE: Which way. 
SAWYER: Don't sweat it, amigo. I know which way they went. 
CHARLIE: Yeah, but. 
SAWYER: I'll tell her. You just keep doing whatever it is you do around here. 
[FLASHBACK] 
[We see Driveshaft on stage. Liam takes Charlie's part singing. We see Liam being greeted back stage and Liam pouring booze. Charlie's pissed.] 
CHARLIE: What the hell was that? 
LIAM: Put on a kick ass show. You were bloody brilliant. 
CHARLIE: I sing the chorus to You All Everybody. 
LIAM: Oh yeah, sorry about that. [a photographer approaches). Got caught up in the moment. The crowd wanted it you know. 
CHARLIE: Yeah, I know. If I start and then you come in after me. . . 
LIAM: [to security] She's cool. Let her in. (to Charlie) I won't let it happen again. I promise. (Liam gets the groupie, pulls out some drugs and Charlie sees). Chill, baby brother. 
[Charlie back at beach.] 
[We see people at the caves moving rocks out of the way. Michael runs up with Walt and Vincent.] 
MICHAEL: Wait. Hey wait. 
HURLEY: Jack's in there. 
MICHAEL: Let me check it out before you start moving things around. If it's unstable. . . 
HURLEY: Well, how do you know. . . 
MICHAEL: 8 years of construction work. Hey Walt, get back man, I don't want you near the rocks, okay, and take the dog with you. 
WALT: Gotta see Mr. Locke (?) 
HURLEY: Locke's out in the jungle killing stuff. Who knows where he is. 
[Michael looks around at the cave.] 
MICHAEL: Alright, this area here is load-bearing. We've got to dig where there's no danger of the wall buckling in on itself. Here, we dig in here so the wall doesn't collapse. Four at a time, by hand, until we can find some kind of shovel. We take shifts, and go slow. Whoever isn't digging should be clearing the rocks that we clear out and bring the water to whoever is working, okay. Let's move. 
[Shot of Walt looking on, proud of/surprised by his father.] 
[We see Kate and Sayid in the jungle. Sawyer enters.] 
SAWYER: Hey. 
KATE: What the hell are you doing here? 
SAWYER: Easy. Just came to tell you something. 
KATE: What makes you think I'm interested in anything you have to say? 
SAWYER [after a long pause]: Just came to tell you, you were right about me that I don't help anyone but myself. Well, here I am, ready to pitch in. 
KATE: You're here to help? 
[Kate and Sayid walk away.] 
SAWYER: Hey, you act anymore surprised and I'm going to get offended. 
[Shot of Locke skinning the boar and Charlie enters looking bedraggled.] 
LOCKE: Something wrong, Charlie? 
CHARLIE: Yeah, Jack. He's a -- there's been an accident at the caves. Jack's trapped in a cave-in. 
LOCKE: Is anyone trying to get him out? 
CHARLIE: Yeah, there's a bunch of people of there now. 
LOCKE: Then why aren't you with them? You didn't come here to tell me about Jack, did you? 
CHARLIE [looking like he going to cry]: I want my stash, Locke. I can't stand feeling like this. 
LOCKE: Come here. I'm going to show you something. [They walk to a plant with a cocoon on it]. What do you supposed is in that cocoon, Charlie? 
CHARLIE: I don't know, a butterfly, I guess? 
LOCKE: No, it's much more beautiful than that. That's a moth cocoon. It's ironic, butterflies get all the attention; but moths -- they spin si
