ages of LOST characters when we first meet them vs the ages of the actors when they first started playing them. reminder that the starting point of LOST is september 22nd 2004. if a character’s age seems one less than sounds right to you its because their birthday is coming up. if a character is missing from this it’s because we don’t know their age in canon (looking at you, desmond)
jack shephard: 34 matthew fox: 38
kate austen: 27 evangeline lilly: 25
hugo “hurley” reyes: 25 jorge garcia: 31
james “sawyer” ford: 35 josh holloway: 35
sawyer says he’s 35. but lostpedia only has sawyer’s birthyear, 1968, making him 36. however an easy explanation for this is that sawyer has a birthday coming up in the post september to december range (like many other characters here) thus making the birthyear and what sawyer said still right
john locke: 48 terry o’quinn: 52
sayid jarrah: 36 naveen andrews: 35
jin-soo kwon: 29 daniel dae kim: 36
sun-hwa kwon: 24 yunjin kim: 31
claire littleton: 21 emilie de ravin: 23
charlie pace: 27 dominic monaghan: 27
okay so an odd thing happened here. we don’t actually know charlie’s age in canon, except that based on a statement from liam that he’s absolutely less than 30. and basically what happened is there was big debate on lostpedia, the general gist being he’s 25 to 28, until everybody just gave up and they slapped dom’s birthday on charlie’s page. and it’s still there to this day
walt lloyd: 10 malcolm david kelley: 12
walt’s actor was gonna age outta the role anyways due to the nature of lost’s timeline but their first mistake was casting a 12 year old. like, hello, puberty?
shannon rutherford: 20 maggie grace: 21
boone carlyle: 23 ian somerhalder: 26
danielle rousseau: 44 mira furlan: 49
ethan rom: 27 william mapother: 39
the consequences of season 5 are starting to hit
bernard nadler: 56 or 57 sam anderson: 58
ana lucia cortez: 29 michelle rodriguez: 27
eko tunde: 35 adewale akinnuoye-agbaje: 38
alexandra “alex” rousseau/linus: 16 tania raymonde: 17
benjamin “ben” linus: 39 michael emerson: 51
this isn’t even due to later timeline decisions, they just decided to do this
miles straume: 27 ken leung: 38
daniel faraday: 26 jeremy davies: 39
charlotte lewis: 33 rebecca mader: 31
and theeere’s the season 5 whammy. for those who don’t know (you must be new to my blog) dan and miles ages differ so much from their actors because when our guys are in 1977, it suited the story and characters better for miles to be a baby and dan to be an embryo (and char to be 6) at the same time. the writers were set on 1977 being the year everybody got stuck in and that’s how we get daniel faraday being an oxford professor at fucking 18
it’s something that gets funnier and sadder the longer you think about it
anyways. thank you for your time!
#i dunno when exactly lost started filming so the actor's ages are close enoughs#i say this like any of you care that much#anyways i just think lists are neat#this took more effort that it looks. i had to look up every actor's birthdays and i had my calculator open the whole time#this took forever and my computer hated doing it#7 years isn't much of an age difference but because dan's starts with a 2 and char's starts with a 3 it looks like a much bigger gap#miles would jokingly call char a cougar

Lost Rewatch: 2x23 Live Together, Die Alone, Part 1
Where, in literally two scenes, I am more invested in the romance between two side characters, one of which we meet just this episode, then the love triangle between the three main characters that the writers have been ramming down our throats for two goddamn seasons
Woah, hang on. One frame, Sayid has his shirt on, then it cuts very briefly to the boat, and then we go back to Sayid and his shirt has... disintegrated?
Okay, Ana Lucia might be the best character of the season, but Desmond is the best character of the entire show. And the fact that one shows up properly during the other’s funeral is all at once ironic, amusing, and infuriating
Thing This Show Never Explains #8: What did Desmond do to get him locked up? We’re told later that is was because he’s ‘bad at following orders’, but what did he do specifically?
Hey, remember this posh twat we thought was an incidental character? Well, turns out he’s a major antagonist a season from now! Who woulda’ thunk it?
So, is Penny getting married or not? Cause at no point do we see the guys she’s supposedly going to marry, nor is she married at any point later, nor is the fact that she was engaged at one point brought up ever again. So, was Widmore lying? If that’s the case, why doesn’t Penny question Desmond when he asks her about it later?
So is Locke pissed that Eko is pushing the button, or that he stole his catchphrase?
Wait, so if the actress playing Libby got killed off cause of some real-life car trouble or something, what is she doing here?
Desmond’s hypothetical boat costs £42000
Desmond has 8 months to get in shape
Kate asks Sawyer ‘Since when did you and Jack start talking about me?’. Kate, have you been in the same show I’ve been watching?
That’s all they do at this point!
Okay, why bring up the Did the random bird say Hurley’s name? question if the answer is just No, it was a coincidence?
I love Jin’s little shrug to Sayid when Sun says she’s coming too. Sun does whatever the hell she wants, and we thank her for it!
Desmond, just tell her that her dad was hiding your letters
Actually, Desmond seems to not tell her to spare her or something, judging by the look on his face. But then after she confirms that she is getting married, he says that he’ll be back in a year. So what is he trying to say?
Also, why do you need your honour back, Zuko? Penny clearly doesn’t give a shit
Also also, during The Constant, which happens before this, Penny seems super pissed at Des, and just wants him to leave her alone. Yet here she seems to want his back, despite the fact that, from her point of view, he hasn’t written to her once
However despite the fact that this scene is confusing as fuck, and the only scene with Penny present all episode, the two actors make this relationship believable instantly
So last we saw, Jin seemed pretty chill with Sun coming. Yet here we learn that he asked her not to
Thing This Show Never Explains #9: why does that statue have four (4) toes?
Also, Sayid, why do you give a shit that most of the statue is gone? It’s right by the shore - for all you know, it could have just been a big wave
Do the coincidences never end? However, yet again, this cameo doesn’t quite make sense
So officially, the Purge of the DHARMA Initiative happens in 1987, and so Kelvin Inman must have been in the Hatch since then, and probably a bit before, since the Incident was in 1977
However if we look at Sayid’s timeline, he spent the next 6 years after encountering Inman as a tourtuer. He then spent the next 8 years looking for Nadia, then the crash happens. 2004 - 8 - 6 = 1990 as the year in which Inman and Sayid meet
Therefore, Inman is in the Hatch and in Iraq at the same time
Also, the stuff that happens in Desmonds flashbacks doesn’t line up at all with what Desmond said happened at the start of the season
Desmond said that he woke up on the beach, Inman shows up, they both run to the Hatch, the alarm is already going off, and Inman immediately presses the button
Here, Des is unconscious, gets dragged into the Hatch, wakes up, has a short conversation with Inman, and then Inman goes to press the button
Why the hell would Radzinsky cut out bits of the Orientation video? Especially as all he cut out was ‘don’t use the computer for anything other then pushing the button’
Yooo, Kate being smart! Kate and Sawyer working together to shoot some fools!
It’s very clear that this was originally aired as one long episode - the end of Part 1 comes out of nowhere
Overall Review:
The first time watching this, it bewildered me. The finale of the season, and we’re focusing on this random incidental character? But this time round, I know who Desmond is, and I like him, so the flashbacks are a lot more fun. It’s strange to think that, of all Desmond’s episodes, this one is the least weird
Overall Rating: 6.1/10

While rewatching “The 23rd Psalm” I noticed, first of all, that there’s kind of a parallel between Charlie and Eko: when Charlie says it’s his brother’s fault he got into drugs, Eko got a sort of Look on his face, which made me consider that his brother was also (in a different way than Liam) the reason he got into drugs (in a different way than Charlie). But THEN I had a more interesting realization, which is that Eko and Sayid are very similar! They are two of the characters with the most blood on their hands, but neither of them ever wanted to be a bad guy. Both got started on their violent paths as a way of protecting their brothers from having to commit violence: Eko shot that old dude in Yemi’s place, causing him, not Yemi, to be adopted by the drug guys (look, I don’t know terminology), and in “He’s Our You,” Sayid kills a chicken when Omer can’t do it. Both of them got started on a violent path as kids, and for both of them violence was tied to protection (not just the chicken incident in Sayid’s case—he says in “Solitary” than he only does his job to protect his family). Both make a big deal out of penitence—Eko when he does his forty-day vow of silence after killing two Others, Sayid when he exiles himself at the end of “Confidence Man.” Despite having two of the most morally questionable pasts, they’re two of the most religious characters (different religions, obviously, and Eko more overtly so than Sayid). The big difference between them is that Eko is able to reconcile his actions with his sense of morality, proclaiming “I ask for no forgiveness for I have not sinned” (god!!! what a good line!!!) whereas my love Sayid can’t quite come to terms with his actions.
OKAY and while checking to make sure I remembered that quote correctly, I realized that in that same speech, Eko says “A small boy once asked me if I was a bad man,” and he says essentially that now he would answer no, he’s done nothing wrong. This reminds me of Sayid telling young Ben that he is not a good man. I’m too early in my rewatch to say much more about this parallel but I’m going to keep it in mind going forward! (EDIT: I must have misremembered; I don’t think Sayid ever says that to young Ben.)
Interestingly, to complete the triangle, in the book “Lost Identity: The Characters of Lost,” the author, Pearson Moore, argues that Charlie’s “real” brother, as in the person he has the most in common with, is my main man Sayid.

eko’s last big speech is such a beautiful subversion of the expected christian guilt like . god. it’s such a well written moment. “i ask for no forgiveness, father, for i have not sinned. i have only done what i needed to do to survive… i did not ask for the life that i was given, but it was given nonetheless. and with it i did my best.” like it’s so beautiful and so justified and so necessary to hear i love it

Eko Tunde (Lost): INFJ
Dominant Introverted Intuition [Ni]: Eko always believes that he has a mission or a purpose. When his instincts tell him there’s something he needs to do, Eko completely commits and devotes himself to whatever he feels he’s “meant” to do. He is a man of faith who has a strong understanding of symbolism and sees deeper meaning everywhere. When he tells Locke about the book he found on the other side of the island, he uses the story of Josiah’s secretary finding the Old Testament to draw a parallel. Eko’s faith is very important to him and he gets gut feelings about what he’s “supposed” to do (and his instincts are often correct). When Claire tells Eko about the statue of the Virgin Mary that Charlie carries around, Eko immediately wants to see it because he believes it could be the same ones that were on the plane his brother was on – and even though it was a big leap, he was right. When Charlie tells Eko about the dream he had where his mother and Claire tell him to “save the baby” while dressed like angels, which Eko interprets as a sign that the baby needs to be baptized. Eko believes that he is meant to build a church on the beach and works diligently day in and day out. He asks Charlie to help him, but he doesn’t tell him what it is they’re actually building. Then he believes his new destiny is to man the button in the hatch when Locke decides to stop pushing it. Eko believes this work is very important and takes it upon himself to be responsible for it. He strongly believes that everyone on the island will die if they don’t continue to push it, and does everything in his power to stop Locke from trying to sabotage his mission. Dreams are never just dreams to Eko. He always analyzes them (Ti) to decide what significance they have for him, and then acts accordingly. He knows he needs to find the question mark because of the dream he had, but he doesn’t even know what that is. When Locke wakes up, Eko immediately knows that Locke had been dreaming of Yemi, when there’s no way he could’ve possibly known that. Often, Eko is right to trust his instincts, but sometimes they can lead him astray (believing that the Smoke Monster disguised as Yemi was actually his brother). Eko instinctively tastes the dirt, comes to the realization that the ground has been salted, and reasons that a circle (target) was created to be seen from up above, all with no prior information whatsoever. After Eko watches the video implying that pushing the button in the hatch is just a psychological experiment, instead of deciding to stop (like Locke), he comes to the conclusion that they are being tested. The work they’re doing in the hatch is important and he believes in it with all his heart. They’re meant to do this!
Auxiliary Extroverted Feeling [Fe]: Understanding other people’s feelings seems to come easily for Eko. Even though he had only just met Jack, he knows anything he will say will just piss him off more, and so he opts to remain silent. He can tell when something is wrong with the people around him, and tries to get them to talk about what’s bothering them. Eko is sacrificial and puts himself in danger to help others. When his little brother is ordered to kill a man, Eko does it instead to spare him. He doesn’t even know Sawyer, yet he takes a big risk in order to get him back to his camp after he’s been wounded. Eko is comfortable with moral shades of gray, whereas his brother Yemi always saw everything as being either black or white. Eko feels that the life he was handed was out of his control, and he only did what he had to do survive (and to protect others), and doesn’t believe that to be a sin. Yemi, on the other hand, sees things as good or bad or right and wrong. Yes, smuggling drugs onto a missionary plane might be wrong, but if we get them out of the country, we keep our people safe from them. Yemi is adamantly against signing the papers that will allow Eko to do this, but Eko tries to get him to see the big picture. Think of all the lives you can save if you do one “bad” thing. Eko tries to get Yemi to see that good and evil aren’t always so easily distinguishable. Even though the “others” attacked Eko, he feels that he needs to be repent for killing them, and so, he demands to speak to “Henry Gale” in order to confess and seek forgiveness for his actions.
Tertiary Introverted Thinking [Ti]: It’s rare for Eko to think aloud. His logic is very personalized and internal, and he rarely shares his plans with those around him. He seeks their help, but ordinarily keeps most of what he’s doing to himself, revealing himself only if and when he chooses to. He needs Charlie to show him where the plane crashed because he recognized the Virgin Mary statues (which were originally found in the plane) and wished to investigate further, but he doesn’t tell Charlie that, and instead allows him to remain confused about what the purpose of their mission actually is. Eko is typically able to reach rational conclusions about things. He knows he can get in to see Henry Gale because Jack doesn’t want the rest of the camp to find out they have a man captured in the hatch, so he uses that as leverage to get into his cell to speak with him. Eko wants to understand and typically asks numerous questions for clarification when presented with information, allowing himself to really think things over before making a judgment.
Inferior Extroverted Sensing [Se]: Eko is keenly aware of his physical surroundings and uses all that he picks up on to form his judgments about people and events. He’s skilled at navigating his way through the jungle. When Eko is following his instincts, it can cause him to behave recklessly, putting himself in dangerous situations because he believes it is his “destiny,” which is what ultimately leads to his demise. He climbs a cliff because Locke had a dream that Yemi wanted him to follow him up there. Eko engages with his environment and uses it to gather information (tasting the soil). He is a gifted fighter and uses whatever is available to him to defeat his opponent. He’s action-oriented and typically jumps right in and starts doing things. Eko sometimes gets carried away in the moment without thinking of the consequences. He became a priest, taking over Yemi’s job to honor his brother after he was killed, but murdered the men who tried to attack him inside the church, which resulted in it being boarded up and condemned. In addition, all of his parishioners turned on him for committing such a heinous act, especially on sacred ground.
Enneagram: 1w9 5w6 2w1 Sp/Sx
Quotes:
Eko: We have to cut inland. Ana Lucia: What? Into the jungle? They said their people were on the beach. If we keep walking… Eko: The beach goes into a peninsula ahead. It may not be passable. Ana Lucia: May not? Eko: May not. Ana Lucia: You’re doing this to get the cowboy back faster, aren’t you? You would risk our lives to help him? Eko: It’s the only way I know. Ana Lucia: I liked you better when you weren’t talking.
Ana Lucia: Get back! Get back, both of you! Michael: Are you crazy? Libby: Ana. Ana Lucia: 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.
Jack: 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.
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.
Eko: I’m going to go to the funeral. Ana Lucia: I don’t think I’m going to make it. Eko: I think most of them realize it was an accident, Ana.
Eko: Hello. I have something I think you should see. If you don’t mind, I will begin at the beginning. Long before Christ the king of Judah was a man named Josiah. Locke: Boy when you say beginning, you mean — beginning. Eko: At that time the temple where the people worshiped was in ruin. And so the people worshiped idols, false gods. And so the kingdom was in disarray. Josiah, since he was a good king, sent his secretary to the treasury and said: “We must rebuild the temple. Give all of the gold to the workers so that this will be done.” But when the secretary returned, he had no gold. And when Josiah asked why this was, the secretary replied, “We found a book.” Do you know this story? Locke: No, I’m afraid I don’t. Eko: What the secretary had found was an ancient book — the Book of Law. You may know it as the Old Testament. And it was with that ancient book, not with the gold, that Josiah rebuilt the temple. On the other side of the island we found a place much like this, and in this place we found a book. [Eko unwraps the book and pushes it toward Locke.] I believe what’s inside there will be of great value to you. [Locke opens the book. A square has been cut out, and inside is a piece of film. Locke takes it out and has a look at the strip. He sees frames with Marvin Candle.]
Locke: Voilà. What are the odds? Eko: The odds? Locke: Yeah. — Here, hold this down on the table there nice and flat. I mean, think about it. Somebody made this film. Someone else cut this piece out. We crash — two halves of the same plane fall in different parts of the island — you’re over there, I’m over here. And now, here’s the missing piece right back where it belongs. What are the odds? Eko: Don’t mistake coincidence for fate.
Charlie: How’d you know about the plane, man? It’s old, you know. It’s been out in the jungle for years. Of course, you would know that – you know everything. Eko: Why did you lie to the girl? Charlie: What? Eko: You told her you did not know what was inside the statue. Charlie: I wasn’t lying. Eko: Then what is the wrong idea? Charlie: What? Eko: When I showed you the broken pieces of plaster, you said you did not want her to get the wrong idea. What is the wrong idea? Charlie: I don’t have to tell you anything, man. You come traipsing across the island, and what, suddenly now you’re in charge? You want me to take you to your plane? You best start treating me with some respect. I’m not just some guy you can just… [Eko suddenly looks into the jungle and we see the smoke monster “fly” by in the distance. Charlie looks too late and doesn’t see it.] Charlie: What? What? Eko: Let’s go. Charlie: [under his breath] Yes, sir.
Eko: So I come to visit you for the first time in three years and you won’t hear my confession? You know, Monsignor would have said he failed to raise a proper Catholic boy. Yemi: Well, why waste your time confessing. It won’t help you. Eko: It won’t? Yemi: No, for confession to mean something you must have a penitent heart. Eko: You and your guilt, Yemi. I’ve only done what I needed to do to survive. How is that a sin? Yemi: You may live far from here, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t heard of who you are and what you have done. [Eko reaches in Yemi’s priest’s shirt and pulls out the cross (the one that Eko wore as a boy).] Eko: Have you forgotten how you got that cross, brother — the day they took me? Is what I did that day a sin? Or is it forgiven because it was you that was saved? Yemi: Why are you here, Eko? Eko: I have come to help you. I have some merchandise that I need to get out of the country. I would like to use one of your church relief flights to transport it. Yemi: Merchandise? You mean drugs. Eko: It is not my normal business, Yemi. We are moving the drugs out of Nigeria so that they cannot be used by our people. And the money — you’ll have all the money to buy your vaccine. God has given us this opportunity; we should not turn our back on it. Yemi: God did not bring you here, Eko. Your own greed did. I will always love you, but I will not help you. It’s good to see you again, brother.
Eko: Yemi, I understand that you live in a world where righteousness and evil seem very far apart, but that is not the real world. I am your brother and I would never do anything to hurt you, but my friends — if you do not do what I ask — they will burn this church to the ground. Is that worth less than the price of your name on a piece of paper? Think of the lives you will save.
Eko: Something wrong, Charlie? Charlie: Apart from me losing my mind? No, everything’s just peachy. Eko: Why would you say you are losing your mind? Charlie: How about the fact that I’ve been sleepwalking? Stealing babies from their cribs? Oh yeah, and then there’s the vivid dreams that make me feel like I’m completely awake until, of course, I wake up. Eko: What are your dreams about? Charlie: Variations on Aaron being in mortal peril — trapped in a piano, drifting out to sea, there’s the flying dove, and Claire and my mum dressed as angels telling me I need to save the baby. [Eko is silent] What? Eko: Have you ever considered that these dreams mean something? Charlie: Like what? Eko: What if you do need to save the baby?
Eko: Who is he? Jack: What? Eko: The man that you are keeping in the hatch. Jack: Did Locke tell you? Eko: Locke did not tell me anything. Who is he? I wish to speak to him. Jack: Speak to him about what? Eko: I wish to speak to him alone. Can you arrange this? Jack: Why should I do that? Eko: Because you wish to keep this a secret.
Eko: Are they treating you well? Henry Gale: Treating me well? I’m a prisoner. And I don’t know why, or for what, or… Eko: You are a prisoner because they are being careful. They are being careful because they believe you are lying. Henry Gale: Why would I lie? They think I’m one of these others — other what? Eko: Please, stop talking, Henry. The first night I spent on this island I was dragged into the jungle by two men. They never spoke a word to me, nor I to them. I killed these men — smashed in their head with a stone, felt their blood on my arms. I need you to know how sorry I am for this. I need you to know that I am back on the righteous path now. And that I regret my actions. I ask you for your forgiveness. Henry Gale: Why are you telling me this? Eko: Because I needed to tell someone.
Charlie: Hey, I noticed you were building something. I thought maybe you could use this — for whatever it is. Eko: That’s very thoughtful of you, Charlie. Why don’t you help me? Charlie: What are you making? Eko: [referring to a log] Hold that end. Charlie: Is it a Starbucks? Eko: Help me carry one of those logs, please. Charlie: Are you going to tell me? Eko: Not right now.
Bernard: Everybody on this island is building something. I’m trying to get us saved. Eko: People are saved in different ways, Bernard.
Locke: Are you seeing something I’m not? [Locke stops] Hey! I haven’t seen a single track or piece of sign since we left the Hatch. What the hell are you following? Eko: Where is the question mark? Locke: The what? Eko: The question mark, John. Where is it? Locke: You know what, you keep chasing after your own shadow; I’m going back. [Eko moves in front of him to stop him.] Eko: I know you do not want to show me, but you must. Locke: No, I don’t have to show you anything. Eko: Then I am sorry. [Eko suddenly head-butts Locke who instantly collapses.]
Locke: You hit me. Why did you…? Eko: Because you were being difficult. Locke: Are you insane? Eko: No. Locke: Ana Lucia, your friend, was just murdered and you… Eko: Ana wants me to help you, John. Locke: Help me do what? Eko: Find the question mark. Locke: You don’t even know what you’re talking about, do you? Eko: No, but you know what I am talking about, John, and that is all that matters. Locke: [pulling the map out of his pocket] Here, you want to find your damn question mark? Here, this is it right here. Here, take it. Take it because it’s nothing. It’s a memory. It’s ten seconds of nothing. Eko: [pointing on the map] This is your hatch, yes? Locke: It’s not my hatch. Eko: If the Swan is where we came from then we go that way. Locke: We shouldn’t even be out here. Ana Lucia would still be alive if I just told Jack that Henry attacked her. Eko: Now, she wants us to go here, John, together. She said this in my dream. Locke: Of course, a dream. Eko: Tell me, John, haven’t you ever followed a dream?
[We see Eko and Locke in the jungle. Eko is poking at the remains of the fire while Locke still sleeps.] Yemi: Eko. Eko: Yemi. Yemi: [shushing him] You’ll wake John. Come, follow me. Eko: [limpingly follows] Yemi. [We see Yemi climbing up the cliff where the plane was perched. Eko follows.] Eko: Yemi! Yemi. [At the top, Eko looks surprised. We see Yemi sitting in a wheelchair.] Yemi: Wake up, John. [We see Eko fall. Locke suddenly wakes up.] Eko: Are you alright, John? Locke: Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine. Eko: You had a dream. [Locke nods] Was there a man? A priest? [Locke looks shocked/puzzled] The man that you saw was my brother. Locke: Your brother? Eko: This is why we needed to come together. This is how we are going to be led, and how we will know where to go next. Locke: But I don’t know where to go. Eko: Did he tell you anything? Locke: No, he, he… Eko: Nothing? Anything? Locke: It wasn’t even me. It was you. It didn’t — he wanted me to follow him. Eko: Follow him where? [Locke looks up the cliff] Wait here. [Eko starts for the cliff.] Locke: Eko, it was just a dream. It’s not safe. Eko!
[We see Eko tasting some dirt in the circle area.] Eko: It’s salty. Locke: What? Eko: The earth. It’s been salted so that nothing can grow. Locke: Why would anyone wanna salt — there’s nothing here. Eko: I believe they made a circle — a target — so that this place can be seen from up above. Locke: They? What place? Eko: The place that this plane fell upon, John. [Eko searches the ground near the plane. He brushes away dirt and uncovers something metallic.] Eko: John! Will you help me with this? [They push the plane out of the way and uncover a large set of doors. Locke tries to open the latches, but can’t.] Eko: Wait. [Eko uses the axe to loosen the latches and he starts to open the doors.] Locke: Eko, may I? Eko: Please, be my guest. [Eko and Locke lift the doors up together. They stare down into a shaft much like the shaft into the Swan hatch.]
[We see Eko gathering papers from a table.] Locke: What are you doing? Eko: I’m taking this back with us. Locke: Why? Eko: Because they may be important. Locke: Important? I’m sorry, weren’t you just watching the same thing I was? Eko: Yes, John. And I believe the work you have been doing is more important now than ever. Locke: What work? Eko: Pushing the button. Locke: That’s not work. That’s a joke — rats in a maze with no cheese. Eko: It is work, John. We are being tested. Locke: Tested? Eko: The reason to do it — push the button — is not because we are told to do so in a film. Locke: Oh — well, then what is the reason, Mr. Eko? Eko: We do it because we believe we are meant to. Isn’t that the reason you pushed it, John? Locke: I was never meant to do anything! Every single second of my pathetic little life is as useless as that button! You think it’s important? You think it’s necessary? It’s nothing. It’s nothing. It’s meaningless. And who are you to tell me that it’s not?
Eko: This cross was worn by my brother, Yemi. Yemi was a great man, a priest, a man of God. And because I betrayed him he was shot and died. He was placed on a plane which took off from an airstrip in Nigeria half a world from here. Then, the plane that I was on crashed on this island. And somehow, here, I found my brother again. I found him in the same plane that took off from Nigeria. In the same plane that lies above us now — that has concealed this place. And I took this cross from around Yemi’s neck and put it back on mine, just as it was on the day I first took another man’s life. So let me ask you — how can you say this is meaningless? I believe the work being done in the Hatch is more important than anything. If you will not continue to push the button, John, I will.
Eko: Hello. Michael: I didn’t hear you come in, man. Eko: I left my shoes outside. They were muddy. Michael: Did you find him? Henry? Eko: No. Michael: I hear you’re a priest. Eko: Yes. Michael: I guess you believe in hell, then. Eko: [helping Michael clean the blood] For a brief time I served in a small parish in England. Every Sunday after Mass, I would see a young boy waiting in the back of the church. And then one day, the boy confessed to me that he had beaten his dog to death with a shovel. He said that the dog had bitten his baby sister on the cheek; and he needed to protect her. And he wanted to know whether he would go to hell for this. I told him that God would understand — that he would be forgiven, as long as he was sorry. But the boy did not care about forgiveness. He was only afraid that if he did go to hell — that dog would be there waiting for him.
[We see Eko walking in the Hatch. He sees his cross pulling from his chest toward as he walks by the magnet area. We hear the alarm start to beep. Eko goes to the computer room and enters the Numbers. Charlie enters.] Charlie: So, you wake up in the middle of the night; you grab your Jesus stick; you race off into the jungle. You don’t call; you don’t write? Eko: I’m sorry. I had work to do. Charlie: Right, yeah. Eko: Charlie, would you do me a favor? I was hoping you could bring my things from the beach here. Charlie: What for? You moving in here? Fancy yourself a little bachelor pad? Eko: Yes. I’m moving in here. Charlie: Well, what about the church? You said we were supposed to be building it together, man. Eko: I am supposed to do something different now. Charlie: What am I supposed to do? Eko: Bring me my things. Charlie: Bring your own things. Eko: Charlie, please. Charlie: You better leg it, mate. Clock’s ticking.
Eko: Hello, John. Where have you been? Locke: I’ve been thinking. Eko: About what? Locke: That in a minute that computer’s going to start beeping, and when it does you’re going to let it go. You’re going to let it run down to zero, past zero. And you’re not going to push the button. Eko: But I am going to push the button. Why wouldn’t I? Locke: Because you don’t want to be a slave. Eko: I am a slave to nothing. Locke: You’re a slave to that [pointing to the timer clock], just like I was. So I’m going to tell you again—don’t push it. Eko: Do not tell me what I can do. [Eko starts entering the Numbers. Locke grabs his stick and tries to smash the computer but Eko stops him and they struggle.] Locke: You cannot push that button. [Eko knocks Locke to the ground, pushes the button and starts leading Locke out of the Hatch.] Locke: No, it’s not real. We’re only puppets—puppets on strings. As long as we push it, we’ll never be free. Eko: [pushing him out of the Hatch] Well, you’re free now, John. Do not come back. Locke: No.
Eko: Charlie, do you know how they got the Hatch door open? Charlie: No, but if you hum it, I could probably play it. Eko: How did they open it—the door that says “quarantine”? Charlie: They blew it up, why? Eko: Charlie, I need your help. Charlie: Oh, now I’m back in your good graces, Father? Eko: Charlie, John has locked me out of the Hatch. And I believe he is doing this because he is going to stop pushing that button. And, Charlie, I am absolutely certain that if he is successful, in 90 minutes everyone on this island will die. Charlie: Alright, I’m in. I’m in. Eko: Thank you. Come, come quickly.
Charlie: Hey, what if John’s right. What if it’s just some colossal joke? You know, it’s just some old computer connected to nothing? Maybe it’s just a bunch of wires? [Eko suddenly pounces on Charlie and shoves him up against a wall. He rips his belt off, and throws it at the magnet wall where it sticks.] Eko: Is that a joke? Charlie: I’ll see myself out. [Eko goes back to the dynamite. Charlie grabs his belt from the wall.] Eko: John, this is your last time to end this. Open the door, and I will forgive you. Locke: Forgive me for what? [Eko gets ready to light the fuse.] Charlie: Hey, hey, Eko. Wait. Just wait a second. I don’t think it’s a good idea, Eko. [Eko lights the fuse] We’re in a very confined area. [Eko pushes himself up against a wall. Charlie starts running.] Charlie: Oh, bollocks. [There’s a huge explosion and a fire ball that chases Charlie to the end of the hall.]
[Eko and Yemi are sitting on a pew in the church. The nun is standing in front of them. A woman exits the confessional.] Nun: Alright Eko. Go. [Eko doesn’t move.] Nun: Did you hear me? Go! Confess that you have stolen. Eko: Yemi was hungry. Nun: That is not an excuse. You have sinned, Eko! Hunger does not matter. Now go. Ask God for forgiveness. [Eko stands and walks toward the confessional and then turns back.] Confess!
Emeka: Hello, Father. I hear you have a shipment of vaccine for sale. [Laughs] If you thought you could do this without me knowing… you don’t know who I am. [Emeka walks up close to Eko and puts a machete to Eko’s neck.] Emeka: You know, you’re lucky Father, I’m a superstitious man. I don’t relish taking the life of a holy man. That is why today, I’m only going to cut off your hands. [The two men grab Eko and pull his hands out and down to the pulpit, binding them. Emeka raises the machete to cut Eko’s hands. Eko spins and fights, taking the machete away from Emeka and knocking the two men to the ground. He slices through the neck of one man and cuts the arm of the other man at the elbow. Emeka tries to grab Eko, and Eko knocks him to the floor. Emeka gets back up to his knees as Eko raises the machete over his head with both hands.] Emeka: No! Don’t! Please! No! No! Eko: You do not know who I am! [Eko does not show mercy. He slices down, killing Emeka, and then walks out of the front doors of the church. Amina and her son Daniel, as well as many other people, see Eko standing on the front porch of the church with the blood stained machete in his hand. The villagers react in horror. Eko, in shock, drops the machete.]
Eko: Yemi! [Yemi turns around and heads out through the jungle.] Eko: Wait! Yemi! [Eko goes after Yemi, who has disappeared.] Eko: Yemi! You say you want to hear my confession! Why? Why now, eh? Show yourself! Where are you! Where! [Yemi appears across from Eko in a field of waist-high plants with red flowers. Eko walks over to him.] Yemi: Are you ready, Eko? Eko: Yes. I am ready, Yemi. [Eko pulls out the cross and raises it. Yemi reaches out to caress it but does not take it.] Eko: I ask for no forgiveness, Father. For I have not sinned. I have only done what I needed to do to survive. [Yemi lets his hand fall from the cross and Eko lowers it.] Eko: A small boy once asked me if I was a bad man. If I could answer him now, I would tell him that… when I was a young boy, I killed a man to save my brother’s life. I am not sorry for this. I am proud of this. [Eko drops to his knees in front of Yemi and spreads his arms out.] Eko: I did not ask for the life that I was given. But it was given, nonetheless. And with it… I did my best. [Yemi stares down into Eko’s eyes. He looks angry.] Yemi: [Almost in disgust] You speak to me as if I were your brother. [Eko cringes back from him, scared and angry.] Eko: Who are you? [Yemi turns without answering, and walks away toward the jungle tree line. Eko stands.] Eko: [Angrily] Who are you!? Who are you!? [Eko follows Yemi into the jungle.] Eko: Who are you?
Eko: You have a large quantity of heroin in a country that has no poppies and no market for its sale. Your drugs are of no value here, so you must get them out. The borders are all guarded by the military so you must fly. But as I’m sure you are aware the only private planes currently allowed into the air are either U.N. aid or the Catholic missionaries. And so you have come to me for a favor. I will buy your heroin — for 50.
