Flashback:

[Ana shooting at a firing range. Scene switches to Ana at the office of Matthew Reed, her therapist.]

Matthew: So how're you doing?

Ana-Lucia: Well, the family with the screaming baby moved.

Matthew: You must be thrilled.

Ana-Lucia: Actually, it's too quiet now.

Matthew: So, how's Danny -- you 2 trying to work things out?

Ana-Lucia: There's nothing to work out. He left.

Matthew: You okay with that?

Ana-Lucia: I guess you could say I'm one of those people that's just better off alone.

Matthew: So, how was the firing range?

Ana-Lucia: Good.

Matthew: How did it feel to hold a gun again?

Ana-Lucia: Very good.

Matthew: All these steps count, Ana. You've come a long way since we met 4 months ago.

Ana-Lucia: Did she say -- you know, when I can come back to work?

Matthew: She left the final determination up to me.

Ana-Lucia: Right.

Matthew: Do you think you're ready?

Ana-Lucia: What do you think?

[He hands Ana her badge. Scene switches to a shot of her LAPD badge at the police dept. office.]

Cop: [off camera]

Welcome back to the force, Officer Cortez.

[Scene switches to right after Ana shot Shannon. Sayid pulls out his gun and goes after Ana.]

Michael: Sayid! Sayid, no!

[Eko tackles Sayid and they fight. Ana cold-cocks Sayid, and grabs the gun.]

Michael: Hey, hey!

Ana-Lucia: [pointing the gun at Michael]

Don't move! Nobody move!

Ana-Lucia: Nobody move. Nobody! [to Eko] Does he have anything else on him?

Eko: What?

Ana-Lucia: He just had a gun to your neck -- check to see if he had anything else on him?

Michael: Hey, put it down.

Ana: pointing the gun at Michael]: Stop.

Michael: Are you crazy? Don't point that at me?

Ana-Lucia: I said stop!

Michael: What is your problem?

[Ana fires off a warning round.]

Bernard: Ana!

Jin: [Says something in Korean, and comes toward Ana.]

Ana-Lucia: Get back! Get back, both of you!

Michael: Are you crazy?

Libby: Ana.

Ana-Lucia: Get back now!

Libby: Ana!

Ana-Lucia: [to Eko]

We need to tie him up.

Eko: I'm not tying him up.

Ana-Lucia: He tried to kill you.

Eko: No.

Ana-Lucia: [pointing the gun at Libby]

You, you do it. Tie him. Use the vines from the stretcher.

Michael: Hey, if we take that thing apart we won't be able to...

Ana-Lucia: Shut up!

Libby: Ana, Sawyer needs a doctor or he'll die.

Ana-Lucia: I know what I'm doing.

Flashback:

[Ana at the police station.]

Captain: I hope this is all of it.

Raggs: That's all we've got right now.

Captain: {something unintelligible}

Raggs: Thanks, Captain.

[Ana knocks at the Captain's open door.]

Captain: Come on in.

Raggs: Hey, look who's here. Good to see you Ana-Lucia, welcome back.

Ana-Lucia: Thanks, Raggs.

Raggs: I'll get you those IRs, Captain.

Captain: Today.

Raggs: You've got it.

Captain: [to Ana-Lucia]

How are you?

Ana-Lucia: Good. Fine.

Captain: Good. Your assignment.

Ana-Lucia: Evidence? You're putting me behind a desk?

Captain: Is that a problem?

Ana-Lucia: I want patrol.

Captain: I don't care what you want.

Ana-Lucia: Just put me in a car.

Captain: You were in an officer involve shooting -- no.

Ana-Lucia: [subtitled from Spanish]

You're doing this because you're my Captain? Or because you're my mother?

Captain: Both.

Ana-Lucia: I need to be back on the street. Please.

Captain: I put you in a car -- everyone's going to know I pulled strings. You don't want me to treat you like my daughter? Don't ask for favors.

Ana-Lucia: Then transfer me.

[Ana's mother/Captain fills out a form.]

Captain: You don't get the transfer, but I'll give you the car. Happy?

Raggs: Sorry to bother you Captain -- Ana, there's a call for you in the bullpen, they say it's real important.

Ana-Lucia: Thanks, Raggs, I'll be right there.

Captain: They got you a cake, try and act surprised.

[Jack filling a water bottle, Rose approaches.]

Rose: Jack, nice to see you out of the hatch. You could use more sunshine.

Jack: I'll take that under advisement.

Rose: A little fruit might do you good, too. Good for the constitution -- at least that's what they say.

Jack: Well, if that's what they say. [Jack takes a piece of fruit from Rose.]

Rose: Mmmm?

Jack: Where'd you get these?

Rose: Well, now just because you're a little excited -- no reason to talk with your mouth full.

[Something drops out of the sky into the water trough Jack was using to fill his bottle. Jack grabs it, and finds it's a golf ball.]

Hurley: Past the hanging tree, double or nothing.

Kate: You sure?

Hurley: Dude, double or nothing, there's no way you're hitting it that far.

Charlie: Hurley, the woman's on bloody steroids.

Kate: Double's 10 thousand bucks.

Charlie: Oh, that's nothing to someone who's worth 150 million dollars. He'll build you your own course, if you'd like.

Kate: What are you talking about?

Hurley: Ignore him, he's an idiot.

[Kate swings and wins the bet.]

Hurley: Crap!

Jack: [entering]

You hooked it. Try keeping your left arm straight.

Kate: You giving me tips?

Jack: Kate, I'm -- I'm a doctor.

Kate: So, you think you could do better?

Jack: [chuckling]

Anyone can hit a ball. That's not golf.

Kate: And what's golf?

Jack: Golf is accuracy.

Kate: Well, why don't we play a few holes and see which one of us is more accurate.

Charlie: Oooh, fighting talk.

Jack: You're kidding, right?

Kate: 3 holes, no handicap, we play for bragging rights. What are we waiting for?

[Eko giving a very sick and shaking Sawyer some water.]

Libby: Ana, let's just get to their camp. It was an accident; they'll understand.

Ana-Lucia: They'll understand? I killed one of them. [motioning to Jin and Michael] If those 2 move, shout.

Libby: Wait, what are you doing?

[Ana walks over to Sayid.]

Sayid: Untie me.

Ana-Lucia: I'm not...

Sayid: Untie me!

Libby: Ana.

[Eko lifts Sawyer onto his back.]

Ana-Lucia: What are you doing?

Eko: I'm taking him back to his camp.

Ana-Lucia: Don't leave, please. If that were you, he'd let you die.

Eko: I'm not doing it for him. I'm doing it for me.

Flashback:

[Ana and her partner, Big Mike, on patrol.]

Big Mike: So'd the shrink give you any good drugs?

Ana: laughing]: Not that kind of shrink.

Big Mike: Did you miss me?

Ana-Lucia: Boy, did I.

Big Mike: I heard about you and Danny. Want me to go kick his ass for you?

Ana-Lucia: Nah. It's better this way. What are we doing in Westwood?

Big Mike: I thought a change of scenery would be nice -- a nice safe neighborhood for your first day back.

Ana-Lucia: This was her idea, wasn't it?

Big Mike: She is the Captain.

Ana-Lucia: Yeah.

Police Radio Voice: 809, please respond to a domestic disturbance call at 2210 South Veteran.

Ana-Lucia: This is 8 Adam-16.

Big Mike: That's not our call.

Police Radio Voice: Go ahead Adam-16.

Ana-Lucia: We're just 3 blocks from away from that call on Veteran. We got it.

Police Radio Voice: Copy that, 8 Adam-16.

[Ana and Big Mike put on their siren. Scene switches to the domestic disturbance. A woman with a baby is fighting with a guy moving stuff.]

Shawna: Where are you going? What are you doing?! Drop the TV, Travis. The TV's mine.

[Ana and Big Mike pull up.]

Travis: I bought it with my money.

Shawna: Liar!

Travis: Did you call the cops?!

Shawna: What?!

Travis: Do something useful, Shawna, shut your trap.

Shawna: Arrest him; he is stealing my TV. He cannot get away with this.

Travis: She hit me. She hit me.

Big Mike: Hey, enough, all of you! Both of you!

Ana-Lucia: [pulling her gun]

Put your hands where I can see them! Get down on the ground!

Big Mike: Officer Cortez!

Ana-Lucia: Ma'am, get your baby upstairs.

Big Mike: Ana Lucia!

Ana-Lucia: Hands on the ground!

Big Mike: Ana Lucia! He is down. Holster your weapon. Now.

[Ana with Sayid and the rest of the group.]

Libby: Hey, I think you should let him go.

Ana-Lucia: No. He's going to come after me.

Libby: You don't know that.

Ana-Lucia: I killed someone he loves.

[Michael gets up to give Sayid water.]

Ana-Lucia: Sit down. Now.

Michael: I'm bringing him water. You going to shoot me? Shoot me.

Ana-Lucia: Don't even think of untying him.

[Michael gives Sayid some water.]

Sayid: Who is that woman?

Michael: Her name is Ana-Lucia. She was on the plane -- tail section -- they all were. We were bringing them back.

Sayid: Where is Walt?

Michael: They took him -- the others.

Sayid: What do you mean they took him?

Michael: From the raft -- the night we left.

[Sayid grunts and struggles.]

Michael: Hey, man. Hey, we're going to get out of this, man.

[Jack throws a golf tee to the ground.]

Jack: Guess you're first.

Kate: Lucky me.

Jack: You know the lady's tee at my golf club back home is about 10 feet closer so if...

Kate: Shut up, Jack.

[Kate swings and gets the ball very close to the hole.]

Jack: Nice.

Kate: You're up.

[Jack swings and his ball goes into the trees.]

Kate: Wow, you really put it in there.

[Jack crossing over a little creek to get to his ball.]

Kate: We have more balls; you could always just take a drop.

Jack: I'm good. [Jack finds his ball] Got it.

[Kate sees something behind Jack.]

Jack: You may want to move. [He sees the worried look on her face] What?

[Eko enters carrying Sawyer.]

Eko: Where is the doctor?

[Locke in the hatch doing a crossword puzzle. The clue he's looking at is 42 down: Enkidu's friend. Locke fills in Gilgamesh. Jack and Kate enter.]

Jack: I got him. I got him.

Kate: Where are we headed?

Jack: Bathroom. He's burning up. We've got to get him in the shower -- bring his fever down.

Kate: What can I do?

Jack: Okay, go through the medical stash; there's a bottle of Ofloxacin...

Kate: Ofloxacin.

Jack: Ofloxacin -- little white pills. Bring the alcohol and some gauge patches, and strip that bed and make sure it has clean sheets on it. Kate?!

Kate: Uh, yeah, yeah.

[Kate exits and Jack tends to Sawyer's wound. Locke enters and we hear the blip sound of the timer.]

Locke: What happened?

Jack: John, the button.

[Locke exits and Jack turns the shower on Sawyer. Eko examines the Swan Dharma logo. We hear the timer reset to 108. Locke enters.]

Locke: Hello.

Eko: Hello.

[Ana and the rest of the group with Sayid.]

Bernard: [sitting next to Ana]

Hey, what are we doing here, Ana? I mean, their camp has got to be close. I just want to get back to my wife.

Ana-Lucia: How long have I kept you alive out here, Bernard? [Bernard bows his head] That's right. So cut me some slack.

Libby: Hey, we just want to know what you're doing. What's the plan?

Sayid: She has no plan. She only has her guilt and the gun.

Ana-Lucia: You want a plan? [to Michael] Do you have any ammo, back at your camp?

Michael: What?

Ana-Lucia: Ammo -- for the gun -- do you have any back at your camp?

Michael: Yeah, a couple boxes.

Ana-Lucia: Alright, I want it -- at least half. And I'll need a pack -- a big one -- a blanket, some medicine, clothes -- jeans and socks -- you getting all this?

Michael: Yeah, I got it.

Ana-Lucia: Alright, you bring all of that stuff back to me and I'll let your friend go.

Michael: I'm not leaving them.

Libby: Michael, you should.

Michael: No. We stick together.

Jin: Go. [he says something in Korean like: I'll stay here with Sayid.]

Michael: [to Jin]

I'll be back, man.

Libby: Ana, what are you doing? You can't live out here alone.

Ana-Lucia: I'm already alone.

Flashback:

[Ana and Big Mike arrive in the LAPD parking lot.]

Big Mike: I'll sign us out.

Ana-Lucia: What, you talking to me, now?

Big Mike: I just want to go home A-L.

Ana-Lucia: Hey, I ordered that guy to stop twice.

Big Mike: So does that mean every time we run into some yo-yo with a TV in his hands, you're going to draw down?

Raggs: [entering]

Hey, Ana-Lucia -- you're guy -- we got him.

[We see a suspect in an interrogation room from the other side of the mirrored glass.]

Captain: His name is Jason McCormick. We picked him up on an assault on an elderly woman in Echo Park. His fingerprints matched a partial from your crime scene. We questioned him and he confessed. The D.A. is ready to file charges -- all he needs is for you to I.D. him.

Ana-Lucia: It's not him.

Captain: He confessed.

Ana-Lucia: I don't know him.

Captain: [to the lawyers in the room]

Can you guys give us a minute? [to Ana] Why are you doing this?

Ana-Lucia: Because it's not him.

Captain: He put 4 bullets into you -- hollow points through your vest -- he tried to kill you. You want a list of his priors? You want to put this guy back out on the street?

[Ana walks over to Shannon's body and is sad. Scene switches to Eko looking into the gun vault in the hatch. Locke enters.]

Locke: What happened? Out there -- what happened?

Eko: There was an accident.

Locke: What kind of accident?

Eko: A girl was shot and killed.

Locke: What did she look like?

Eko: She was tall with blonde hair. There was an Arab man...

Locke: Shannon. You said there were 5 of you from the tail section?

Eko: 4.

Locke: 4 -- why didn't the rest of them come back with you? And Michael, Jin?

Eko: They cannot come back right now.

Locke: Can you take me to them?

Eko: [looking at the guns]

No.

[Kate brings the anti-biotics and some water to Jack and Sawyer.]

Kate: Here you go. What's happening? Why is he shaking?

Jack: He's septic. The infection's gotten into the blood stream. If the anti-biotics don't bring the fever down he'll go into shock. Hold him up.

Kate: Okay, I've got him.

[Jack puts a pill in his mouth and pours some water in. Sawyer coughs it out.]

Jack: Swallow it, swallow it, swallow it.

Kate: I'll do it.

Jack: No, no, I've got it.

Kate: I can do it. [quietly to Sawyer]: Sawyer? Hey, you have to listen to me, okay? The only way that you are going to get better is if you take this pill. So I want you to swallow it, okay? Okay, here we go. [She puts the pill in his mouth and holds up the glass for him to drink] Now swallow, swallow. Good! Good.

Jack: Nice job. I never learned the whole whisper-in-the-ear thing in med school.

[Ana and the group with Sayid. Bernard is picking up his bags.]

Ana-Lucia: What are you doing?

Bernard: I'm going Ana. I don't want to be a part of this. I know everything you've done for us, and I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you. But I'm going.

Ana-Lucia: [to Libby]

What about you?

Libby: I just don't think you're the best judge of character. I was with you when you put Nathan in the pit.

Ana-Lucia: Alright, you want to go? Go. Leave. [To Jin] You -- go.

[Jin looks at Sayid who nods for him to go.]

Ana-Lucia: Get out of here. Go.

[Michael running through the jungle. He comes out of the jungle and sees Sun at her garden.]

Sun: Michael!

Michael: Hi. Listen, it's alright. Jin is okay.

Sun: Where is he?

Michael: He's fine; and I'll explain. But right now, I need to find Jack.

[Jack talking to Eko in the hatch.]

Jack: [angry]

Where are they? [Eko doesn't answer] I said, where are they?

Locke: Jack, it's not his fault...

Jack: Shannon's dead! I'm not... [to Eko] You're going to take me back out there, right now.

Locke: This man isn't the problem. He brought Sawyer back.

Jack: Half-dead with a bullet hole in his shoulder, John. [to Eko] Are you going to talk to me or are you just going to sit there?

Eko: Anything I say will only make you angry. So, yes, I will sit here.

Sun: [entering with Michael]

Jack! Jack! Jack!

Jack: Michael. [They hug].

Michael: We've got a problem, man.

[We see Jack loading a rifle.]

Jack: You remember how to get out there, right?

Michael: Yeah, I think so.

Locke: We should stop and think about this, Jack.

Jack: Think about what, John? Shannon's dead, Sayid's being held at gunpoint. You want to sit and hope that situation resolves itself -- be my guest. [Handing Michael a gun] You know how to use this?

Michael: Yes, sir.

Eko: Stop! Please. What do you want?

Jack: Excuse me?

Eko: Peace? Revenge? Justice? And you are going out with all these guns? What do you want?

Jack: I want all of our people back here safely. Your friend murdered...

Eko: Ana-Lucia made a mistake.

Jack: What did you say?

Eko: Ana-Lucia made a mistake.

Jack: Ana-Lucia.

Eko: I will take you there. But only you, and no guns.

Jack: Let's go.

[Ana repeatedly removing and re-engaging the magazine of the gun.]

Ana-Lucia: Where are you from? [Sayid doesn't answer.] Where are you from?

Sayid: I'm from Iraq.

Ana-Lucia: Do you have any kids?

Sayid: Why are you asking me if I have children?

Ana-Lucia: I'm curious.

Sayid: I do not. Do you have children?

Ana-Lucia: No.

Sayid: Are you going to kill me? That's what you're thinking about isn't it?

Ana-Lucia: Should I?

Sayid: Almost 40 days ago on this very island I tied a man to a tree and tortured him. I tortured him as I've tortured many men -- men whose voices I still hear in the night. Should you kill me? Maybe you should. Maybe you were meant to.

Ana-Lucia: I'm a cop. I was a cop. One night my partner and I responded to a burglary call. We were the first ones there. I covered the front and he went around the back. I was there a minute and then this kid comes right through the front door -- I tell him to put his hands up -- and he's says I'm making a mistake -- that he's a student and he wants to show me his I.D. I believed him. I just -- I let him reach. All I remember was a pop. By the time I hit the ground I thought I was dead. I feel dead.

Sayid: What happened to him -- the man who shot you?

Flashback:

[Ana in a bar. We see the guy who had been in custody before leaving the bar. Ana gets up and follows.]

Ana-Lucia: Hey, Jason.

Jason: Do I know you?

Ana: pulling her gun]: I was pregnant.

[Ana shoots 3 times, walks over and shoots 3 more times.]

Sayid: What happened to him?

Ana-Lucia: Nothing. They never found him. [She picks up Eko's homemade knife and swings it at Sayid, but only to cut the ropes. Then she drops the knife and gun at Sayid's feet.] Go ahead, pick it up, I deserve it.

Sayid: What good it would be to kill you if we're both already dead?

[Sayid goes to Shannon's body to carry it back.]

[Kate with Sawyer who is shivering.]

Kate: Hey! Hey, can you hear me? You're going to be okay. You're going to be alright. You're home.

[Montage of Michael finding Vincent on the beach; Bernard, Libby, and Jin coming to the beach; Charlie and a bunch of redshirts greet them; Bernard and Rose reunite; Sun and Jin reunite; Eko and Jack come across Sayid carrying Shannon followed by Ana.]
