Season 1: Episode 1 - 'Pilot'
|
A man awakes in a
jungle. He is bruised and bloody, and doesn't know where he is. A
yellow Labrador Retriever watches him from the trees, then suddenly
runs off. He forces himself up and winces in pain, leaning against a
tree. He checks his jacket pocket and finds a small bottle of vodka.
Recognition of where he is begins to float across his face. He winces
back the pain and begins to run through the trees, reaching a
beautiful beach.
He hears sounds — people screaming. He wanders around a bend and
finds what has brought him here — a plane crash, survivors in shock.
A man trapped beneath wreckage. A woman not breathing. A pregnant
woman screaming for help. He runs to help those he can, and rallies
the others to help him. One of these strangers asks his name:
"Jack."

After the initial shock of the
crash has settled a little, Jack digs through the scattered luggage and finds
a sewing kit. He goes off into the woods to check his own injuries, where he
meets a young woman. He enlists her help in stitching a laceration on his back
closed, and he explains that he is a doctor.
Back at the crash site, the survivors do their best to make themselves
comfortable. Sayid introduces himself to Charlie, and gets Charlie to help
build a bonfire, for the rescuers to see. Hurley gathers together the food
from the plane, and distributes it amongst the survivors. Michael checks on
the welfare of his son, Walt. And Jack has returned to the beach with his new
friend, Kate. Jack explains to her that if they can find the front of the
plane, they may be able to radio for help with a transceiver. Kate says she
saw smoke coming from the jungle — and tells Jack if he's going to look for
it, she's coming with him. Just as Jack is about to argue, the group hears a
sound from inside the trees — a loud, terrifying, monstrous howl that goes
on and on. The tops of the trees shake, and eventually whatever is making the
sound goes away, leaving the survivors marooned, exhausted — and now
terrified.
The next day, Jack and Kate tell the survivors that they are going to look for
the rest of the fuselage. Charlie invites himself along for the trip, and the
three head off. On the way, Kate realizes that she knows Charlie from
somewhere, but can't place him. Charlie gleefully announces that he's the
bassist for Drive Shaft, which pleases Kate. As the trio works their way
across a valley and re-enters the jungle, the sky darkens, and a rainstorm
strikes from out of nowhere. Back at the crash site, everyone rushes for cover
as the strange sounds from the jungle begin again.
Jack, Kate and Charlie find the wreckage in the jungle. They see no signs of
survivors as they climb up into the fuselage towards the cockpit. After
breaking their way in, they find the Pilot still strapped to his seat. As Kate
and Jack search for the fuselage, the seemingly-dead Pilot wakes up. After
they give him some water, they tell the pilot "at least 48" of the
passengers have survived, and it's been sixteen hours since the crash. The
Pilot then tells them they lost their radio six hours into the flight, and
couldn't be seen by anyone. They turned around to head to Fiji, and by the
time they hit turbulence and crashed, they were a thousand miles off-course.
The rescuers are looking in the wrong place.
The Pilot shows them where the transceiver is kept, and as he tries to get it
to work, and Kate finds Charlie in the bathroom for some reason, the strange
sounds are heard again — this time just outside the fuselage. They try to
catch a glimpse of whatever is making the sound through the cockpit windows,
and when the Pilot crawls out to take a look, he is snatched up by the
mysterious force. The fuselage is then knocked to the ground, and Charlie,
Jack and Kate try and make a run for it.
The three survivors run for their lives, with whatever-it-is hot on their
heels. Charlie falls, and when Jack goes back to help him, Kate finds herself
alone in the jungle, terrified. Charlie comes upon her suddenly, and the rain
stops just as quickly as it began. They go back looking for Jack, and find him
a little ways back, along with the body of the Pilot — hanging from the top
of a tree above them. They stand there, wondering what could do something like
that. |
