Season 2: Episode 1 - 'Man of Science'
|
|
A man is roused from
sleep by his alarm. He jumps out of bed, types briefly on a computer
and presses the "execute" button. He puts on a record (Mama
Cass) and cleans up last night's dishes. He does his workout, takes a
shower, makes a protein shake and gives himself am injection
of…well, something. And then - BOOM! We hear the explosion and
follow the man's frantic reaction into a gun locker where he loads up
with pistols and a rifle and then goes to a primitive type of
periscope he uses to discover the cause of this emergency. There, at
the top of a very deep shaft, are Locke and Jack - who've just blown
the hatch. Welcome back to Lost everyone…

Seeing the depth of the shaft,
Jack manages to get everyone to return to camp with him, leaving the
exploration of the hatch for another time. After all, the reason they blew it
open was to hide everyone inside and that's not going to be possible. Upon his
return, Jack even manages to calm the rest of the survivors down and convince
them that, regardless of what they may have heard, they will ALL survive to
see the next day, as long as they all stick together. But Locke can't wait any
longer and openly defies Jack's orders by returning to the hatch that night.
And just as Jack thinks that one person defying him was bad enough, Kate
decides that she's going out there too.
Meanwhile, Shannon is frantic after losing Walt's dog Vincent. Sayid tries to
convince her not to go out into the jungle looking for him tonight, but she
will not be swayed. Finally, someone has trusted her enough to ask her to care
for what they loved most and she's lost it. Not acceptable! So together they
venture out into the dark and Shannon has an eerie encounter with Walt
himself. He can't really be there, can he? He's out on the raft! But there he
is, dripping wet and looking terrified. Before Sayid joins her, Walt
disappears and she is left to wonder if she ever really saw him at all.
In FLASHBACK, we see Jack in full hero mode as he works on a patient brought
to his emergency room after a terrible car crash. Her name is Sarah and she
tells Jack one thing before she passes out. He has to fix her because she MUST
dance at her wedding in a few months. And we see the very moment that Jack met
the woman who will eventually become his wife. While Jack takes a late-night
run, trying to accept that even his skills have their limits, he meets a man
as driven as he is. Turns out "Desmond" was going to be a doctor,
too, but gave it up for something else - everything else. Desmond realized
there was more to life than what you could learn in medical school - and he
tells Jack that sometimes miracles can happen if you just believe. Jack thinks
him a total crackpot, but is forced to reconsider when, against all odds,
Sarah regains feeling in her legs.
Back on the island, Jack decides to follow Locke and Kate down the hatch. As
he makes his way through the bizarre surroundings, that same Mama Cass song
starts up again and Jack suddenly finds himself in the middle of a stand-off.
When the man holding a gun to Locke's head steps further into the light Jack
gets the shock of his life. That guy threatening to blow Locke's head off?
It's Desmond. The same guy Jack met running that night in another life… |
