Jack's Flash Forward - A Second Marriage?

Jack sits in his car outside Santa Rosa Mental Hospital at night. He starts his car and drives home. Kate is asleep in bed and he wakes her up.
"Hey," she says, "what time is it?"

"It's late. I just got home."

"Were you working?"

"I had to stop and get something. It just took awhile."

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Jack is very emotional and says, "The other night, when I was reading to Aaron, you said I was a natural. Do you really, do you really think that I'm good at this?"

"Yeah. You're good at this."

"Will you marry me?" He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a case with a diamond ring in it.

With tears rolling down her face, Kate says, "Yes."

He slides the ring on her finger.

"Of course I will," she says. "Yes."

They hug.

Charlotte Speaks Korean

Juliet and Bernard light torches and Bernard says, "Look, they're back."
"Did you find everything?" Juliet asks.


"Yes, ma'am," Daniel says, "the entire list. Is he okay?"

"For now. Sun, we need to sterilize these. There's a pot of water boiling over here."

Jin pulls Charlotte aside.

"Yeah?" she says.

In Korean he says, "I know you understand me."

"What?"

"I know you speak Korean. You smiled when Sun and I talked about you. And you were listening to us at the station."

"I'm sorry, perhaps I can get your wife to translate."

"If you continue to lie, I'm going to hurt your friend, Daniel. I'm going to break his fingers one at a time. Do you understand that?"

In Korean, she says, "What do you want?"

"When the helicopter comes for you, you're going to take my wife off this island."

"What about the rest of your friends?"

"Just get her on the helicopter."

Charlotte thinks a moment, then nods.

Knock Him Out

Inside the operating tent, Juliet prepares for the surgery while Jack lays on the table. Kate puts her hair up and Bernard cleans the area where he is going to give Jack a shot.
Bernard says, "They found some Chloroform at the medical station, I could knock you out.

Wouldn't you rather be dreaming about something nice back home?"

"No, I'll manage with the Lidocaine." He helps Kate position the mirror so that he can see.

Bernard gives him the shot and says, "Okay, now this is going to numb the area of the first incision. After that, I would like to be able to tell you you're not going to feel a thing, but you will."

Juliet walks over. "You ready? Okay, here we go." She makes the first incision. As she cuts, Jack groans. Juliet tells him to stay still. She asks Bernard for the spreader.

Jack says he can't see the mirror and Juliet says not to worry about the mirror. Kate readjusts and he's able to see.

As she uses the spreader, he starts yelling. Juliet says, "Knock him out, Bernard."

"No, no, I don't want to be unconscious!" Jack says.

"You don't want to be out of control," Juliet says. "Bernard!"

"Please, Kate," Jack says.

Juliet tells Kate to leave. "Bernard! Kate, get out of here!"

Kate is crying. "Jack."

"Bernard! Kate, Kate, get out of here! Damn it, Bernard, knock him out!"

Bernard walks over with a cloth and says, "I'm sorry, Jack, but I agree." He holds the cloth over Jack's mouth and nose.

Jack's Flash Forward - Beeping

Jack puts an x-ray up. He speaks into a recorder. "Laker, Ryan. The patient is male, 36." Jack hears beeping and goes to investigate. Out in the hall he sees that it's a smoke detector. He climbs up on a desk and pulls out a battery. He climbs down.
Jack is startled when a man says, "Jack."

He looks over and sees his father sitting in a chair. He starts to walk toward him, looking worried, but the other doctor comes up behind him and says, "Jack?"

Jack turns and his father is gone.

"You okay?" she asks.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I just, uh, the smoke detector was beeping and I just-"

"Thank you for keeping us safe." She turns to leave.

"Erica, can you do me a favor?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Can you write a script for Clonazepam?"

"For you?"

"Yeah, I've just got a lot going on right now, and, um, I'm a little snowed under with all my case load, and Kate and I got engaged. I'm just not sleeping very well."

She writes the prescription and hands it to him. "You know, getting engaged is supposed to help reduce stress, not create it."

"Yeah, you're right."

"You should talk to someone."

"I'll do that."

"Good night."

Later, Jack goes into the house and he hears Kate on the phone. "I can stay for an extra few minutes. Jack's never home before eight anyway. I can stay for at least an hour."

Jack walks around the corner. He jiggles his keys.

Kate turns around. "I've got to go, Jack's home. I'll call you later. Bye."

"I thought you'd be in bed," he says. "Who was that?"

"That was Noreen. She's one of the mom's from the park."

"I've never heard you mention her before."

"Well, now you have." She kisses him. "I'll see you upstairs."

Jack pulls out his prescription and washes down two pills with a beer.

Dad?

Miles and Sawyer are asleep by a fire. Claire is also asleep, but without Aaron. She wakes and realizes she doesn't have Aaron. She sits up and sees Christian on the other side of the fire, holding Aaron.
"Dad?"
