freckles.
It's gonna rain sooner or later.
And hell, I'm an optimist.
Hey.
You forgot something.
Seeing as you're the new sheriff in town,
might as well make it official.
How are they?
The others?
Thirsty.
Hungry.
Waiting to be rescued.
And they need someone to tell them what to do.
Me?
I can't.
Why can't you?
Because I'm not a leader.
And yet they all treat you like one.
I don't know how to help them.
I'll fail.
I don't have what it takes.
Why are you out here, Jack?
I think I'm going crazy.
No, you're not going crazy.
No?
No, crazy people don't know they're going crazy.
They think they're getting saner.
So...
why are you out here?
I'm chasing something.
Someone.
The white rabbit.
"Alice in wonderland. "
Yeah.
Wonderland, because who I'm chasing,
he's not there.
- But you see him?
- Yes.
But he's not there.
And if I came to you and said the same thing,
then what would your explanation be as a doctor?
I'd call it a hallucination.
The result of dehydration, posttraumatic stress,
not getting more than two hours of sleep a night for the past week -all the above.
All right, then you're hallucinating.
But what if you're not?
Then we're all in a lot of trouble.
I'm an ordinary man, Jack.
Meat and potatoes. I live in the real world.
I'm not a big believer in...
magic.
But this place is different.
It's special.
The others don't want to talk about it because it scares them.
But we all know it, and we all feel it.
Is your white rabbit a hallucination?
Probably.
But what if everything that happened here
happened for a reason?
What if this person that you're chasing is really here?
That's impossible.
Even if it is, let's say it's not.
Then what happens when I catch him?
I don't know.
But I've looked into the eye of this island,
and what I saw...
was beautiful.
Wait, where are you going?
To find some more water.
I'll come with you.
No. You need to finish what you've started.
Why?
Because a leader can't lead until he knows where he's going.
The police found him in an alley in King's Cross.
Our tox screen showed a blood alcohol content
which, for a man of his size, probably brought on myocardial infarction -
a sizable and fatal heart attack.
That's him.
9:40 flight 125 non stop to Singapore leaving from gate 14...
What do you mean you won't put it on the plane?
I'm sorry, mr. Shephard, but our policy at boarding
is you must have the proper documentation.
- There is just no latitude to -
- No latitude.
- No latitude.
- Without the proper documents -
Look, you can't do this to me. I'm ready to go now.
- Perhaps another carrier -
- No!
I want you to listen to me, okay?
Because I'm asking you a favor.
Chrissy, I'm standing in front of you in the same suit
that I'm wearing to my father's funeral, and I'm asking you a favor.
In 16 hours, I need to land at L.A.X.
And I need that coffin to clear customs because there's gonna bea hearse waiting there.
And I need that hearse to take me and that coffin to a cemetery. Why?
Chrissy, why can't I just bring him to a funeral home and make all the arrangements?
Why can't I really take my time with it? Because -
Because I need it to be done.
I need it to be over.
I just -
I need to bury my father.
Hey.
Hey, Claire.
- How did you get -
- Shh, shh.
Where did you get that?
Here's your thief!
- Where'd he hide it?
- I don't know.
This wanker had three bottles on him.
Why'd you do it, pretty boy? Eh?
It was just sitting in the tent.
And Jack just took off. Claire could've died!
I tried to give her some sooner, but it just got out of hand.
- No one would've understood.
- What is going on?
Someone had to take responsibility for it. It would've never lasted!
Leave him alone!
It's been six days,
and we're all still waiting...
waiting for someone to come.
But what if they don't?
We have to stop waiting.
We need to start figuring things out.
A woman died this morning just going for a swim.
And he
