Lost

Previously on "lost"...

Who is he? His name is Richard alpert.

He's a kind of... advisor.

And he has had that job for a very, very long time.

Why do you want to die?

I devoted my life--

longer than you can possibly imagine--

in service of a man

who told me that everything was happening for a reason,

that he had a plan- a plan that I was a part of--

and now that man's gone. So why do I want to die?

Because I just found out my entire life had no purpose.

I'm here because I need your help.

Will you help me, Ilana?

Yes.

There's six people I need you to protect.

I'm gonna give you a list of their names.

This is what you've been preparing for.

These people-- who are they?

They're the remaining candidates.

Candidates?

Candidates for what?

To replace Jacob.

She said I was one of them.

And so are you, and so is Hurley.

Well, that's great. So what do we do now?

I don't know.

Then who d hen who does?

After I've brought them to the temple...

What do I do?

Ask ricardus.

He'll know what to do next.

Who's ricardus?

He is.

So, Richard...

What do we do next?

I have no idea what "we" do next.

You didn't tell your friends that

I was trying to kill myself when you found me?

Does that sound like someone who has a plan?

Why would Jacob say you knew what to do if...

Because everything he ever said is a lie.

What are you talking about?

You wanna know a secret, Jack?

Something I've known a long, long time?

You're dead.

You mean that figuratively, right? No. I mean, literally.

We're all dead- every single one of us.

And this? This--all this? It's not what you think it is.

We're not on an island. We never were.

We're in hell.

So I'm not interested in what Jacob said.

In fact, maybe it's time we stopped listening to him

and we started listening to someone else.

And that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

What are you doing?

I'm going after Richard. Why? You heard him.

He doesn't--he doesn't know what we need to do next.

He knows. Jacob told me. He has to know.

Alpert has lost his mind.

He thinks that we're- we're in hell.

And if he care about what Jacob said,

he wouldn't be talking about- about listening to someone else.

Wait.

You know who he meant?

Oh, this should be interesting.

What?

He meant Locke.

Locke is dead.

If it's any consolation, it's not exactly Locke.

Hurley.

What's he sayin'?

Uh, wh-what's who saying?

Jacob. I saw you talking to him. I'm not talking to Jacob.

Don't lie to me. Please, if you something...

Anything that can help us figure out- it's not Jacob, man.

Then who is it?

Sorry, Jack, but this has nothing to do with you.

Shephard is right, you know. Right about what?

Richard.

Going after him is a waste of time. He doesn't know anything.

What makes you so sure? I've known him since I was 12 years old.

That should count for something.

So you guys met when you were kids, huh?

No, Frank, I was a kid.

Richard looked just like he does today.

You're saying this guy doesn't age?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

And how the hell do you think that happened?

In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti.

Amen.

No.

Is this him? Yes.

Estate quieto.

You say he speaks English.

Yes, Mr. whitfield.

Do you speak English?

I asked, do you speak English?

Take him away and bring me another.

Hang him. Yes, I speak it! Yes, I speak it!

Wait.

You have strong hands. What sort of work did you do?

I-I work... I work... I-in the Fields.

I understand you're interested in going to the new world. - Yes.

Well, then...

This is your lucky day. Thank you, father.

This man is now the property of Captain Magnus hanso.

I hope you don't get seasick.

Do you see anything?!

Bring me the Captain. Sir, Captain hanso's dead.

Good God, we're in the middle of a bloody jungle!

Gracias a dios. Gracias.

Muchas gracias.

No! Stop! No!

No! Stop!

What are youoing?! Aah!

Se lo ruego.

No lo haga.

No lo haga, por favor.

We are shipwrecked in the middle of the jungle.

We have no fresh water

and limited supplies,

and there are only five officers left.

No! No! No!

Why-- why are you doing this?

Because if I freed you,

it would only be a matter of time

before you tried to kill me.

No!

Aah!

What happened up there?

I said report!

Isabella!

Isabella!

Shh. Here.

Water.

Who...

Who... who are you?

A friend.

I am...

In hell?

Yes, I'm afraid you are.

You...

You were not on the ship.

I was here...

Long before your ship.

Did--did...

Did you see my--my wife?

I'm sorry? Isabella. My wife.

She was here. She was...

But... then the black smoke came,

and she ran.

And she hasn't come back?

That probably mean he has her.

Who?

I think you know who.

If she's a-alive, I must save her.

Please. Please, help me.

Of course. Of--of course I'll help.

I want to be free, too.

As luck would have it...

I found these on one of the officers outside.

I think they'll work.

But before I try, I need to know that you will help me.

Yes. Yes. Of--of course.

You'll do anything I ask?

Yes. Yes, anything. Yes, I promise.

Then we're agreed.

Thank you.

Of course, my friend.

It's good to see you out of those chains.

Thank you.

We're gonna have to get you on your feet.

You're gonna need your strength if we're going to escape.

Escape?

That's right.

I'm afraid there's only one way to escape from hell.

You're going to have to kill the devil.

When you're finished eating,

you'll walk due West.

Once you get to the ocean,

you'll be able to see the statue.

The statue?

Your ship smashed through it on its way inland.

Broke it into pieces.

That's where you'll find the devil.

You only have one chance.
