There is a closeup of someone’s closed eye. Suddenly, the eye opens.

The camera pulls back to reveal a man in a suit lying in a bamboo thicket. This is Jack. Jack hears something and looks around to see a dog, a yellow lab, wandering nearby. The dog runs off.

Jack slowly stands up. He pulls two airline mini-bottles out of his pocket and looks at them. He then pulls his jacket to one side and looks beneath it, wincing at what he sees.

Suddenly, Jack starts running through the thicket. At one point he passes a shoe hanging from a tree. Eventually he bursts out onto a beach. At first we see nothing but beach and ocean, but as the camera pans we begin to hear the sound of a jet engine. Jack starts running down the beach and we see the obvious aftermath of a plane crash. Debris and stunned survivors are everywhere. One engine, sitting upright on a piece of wing, is still running.

Debris and screaming survivors are everywhere and Jack seems to be in a daze. Finally, he manages to focus on someone who is trapped under a piece of debris and yelling for help.

Jack immediately jumps into action. He tries to free the man but cannot. He yells for some help and a few other survivors join him. They are able to lift the debris far enough to pull the man free. He is bleeding from the leg and Jack removes his tie to use as a tourniquet.

Jack then hears another woman screaming. He tells the others to get the injured man away from the running engine then rushes to her to find Claire, who is eight months pregnant. Claire yells that she is having contractions.

Someone walks too close to the front of the running engine and is sucked into it. There is an explosion and debris rains over the beach. Jack tells Claire to stay calm and yells to Hurley, a large, heavy-set survivor. He tells Hurley to get Claire away from the jet fuel. Hurley seems uncomfortable but does.

Jack then goes to where Boone is attempting CPR on Rose. Boone says he is a lifeguard but Jack says he is doing CPR wrong. Boone suggests that maybe they should “…do one of those hole things. You know, stick that pen in her throat?” Jack says that is a good idea and sends Boone off looking for pens. Jack continues CPR on Rose and she finally starts breathing again.

There is a creaking noise and Jack looks up to see a piece of debris leaning dangerously over where Hurley and Claire are now sitting. He yells for them to move and runs over, helping them to safety as the debris collapses, touching off another round of explosions. A piece of debris falls to the ground next to Charlie, who stares at it in confusion.

After a while things start to settle down. Jack stands in the middle of the wreckage, looking around in confusion. Boone comes up to him and gives him a handful of pens. Jack thanks him. He then rummages around through some luggage until he finds a sewing kit.

Jack finds a secluded spot down the beach and removes his shirt, revealing a large cut in his back. Unfortunately, he can’t reach the cut.

A woman named Kate walks by, rubbing her wrists. Jack calls to her and she comes over. He asks if she knows how to sew and she admits to sewing the drapes in her apartment. He shows her the cut in his back and asks if she can sew it up.

At first she doesn’t think she can but he manages to talk her into it, in the process revealing that he is a doctor. He uses the mini-bottle from his pocket to disinfect her hands and the wound before she starts.

Back at the crash site the survivors are starting to sort themselves out. Sayid approaches Charlie and asks his help in getting a signal fire lit. Boone tries to get a signal on his cell phone and fails.

Kate is sewing up Jack’s wound and asks why he doesn’t seem to be afraid. Jack tells her of a time when he was a resident and accidentally cut a patient’s spine. He says he let himself be scared, but only for five seconds. Then, he pushed the fear aside and did what had to be done.

Later, at the crash site, Sayid and Charlie sit beside the fire. Sayid wonders why no rescuers have come yet.

Boone brings a candy bar to Shannon, his sister. Shannon is painting her nails. He offers her the candy bar but she says that she will wait and eat on the rescue boat. Boone seems to think that they may be on the island for a while but she says the plane had a black box and rescuers will be there soon.

Hurley brings Claire some food and asks if she is having any more problems. She says she is fine. Hurley leaves her an extra set of food.

Also by the fire are Michael and his son Walt. Slightly further away are Jin and Sun. Jin tells Sun to stay where he can see her and for her not to interact with the other survivors. They will look after themselves and no one else. She silently nods agreement. (Note: Jin and Sun are Korean and only speak Korean. Their conversations are subtitled when they are speaking between themselves but not when others are around.)

Jack is examining a passenger who has a piece of shrapnel in his abdomen. Kate asks if he will be all right. She says she didn’t know him but that he was sitting next to her on the plane.

Jack says he remembers hitting turbulence but that he blacked out before the crash. Kate says she didn’t; she saw the whole thing. The back third of the plane broke off. Then, the forward section broke away. The middle section then crashed onto the beach. Jack asks if she knows where the nose section landed. He says the cockpit would have contained a transceiver which they can use to radio for help. Kate says she saw smoke that was probably from the nose.

Before they can go any further, they are interrupted as “something” goes through the jungle near the beach. It is very large; knocking over trees and forcing its way through the brush. It makes a loud roaring and howling noise that sounds semi-mechanical; it is not totally clear if it is an animal or a machine. No one can see what is making the sound and everyone is very concerned.

Jack is getting ready to leave to search for the nose section. Kate wants to come with him but he tells her she will have to get a better pair of shoes. She finds a pair on one of the dead passengers. Another survivor, Locke, watches her as she takes them, which seems to make her uncomfortable. Jack explains to everyone where they are going. Charlie volunteers to join them and the three of them set out.

Along the way, Charlie talks to Kate and reveals that he is part of the band Driveshaft.

It starts to rain and everyone on the beach gets under cover. They hear the “thing” in the jungle pass by again but again they are unable to see anything.

It is also raining on the three in the jungle when they find the nose section. It is partially in some trees and tilted at a steep angle. They go inside and have to climb “up” to the cockpit; the climb made more difficult by the bodies still strapped into most of the seats.

They reach the cockpit door and Jack manages to get it open. A body falls out as they do. Jack and Kate enter the cockpit. Charlie stays in the first class section.

Jack and Kate search for the transceiver and are surprised when they find one of the pilots still alive. He asks how many survivors there are and Jack tells him there are 48.

The pilot then gives them some information. All of their radios went dead about six hours into the flight and they turned back towards Fiji. They were over a thousand miles off course when they hit turbulence. Any rescuers are looking in the wrong place.

Jack then realizes that Charlie is missing. Kate returns to the first class section and finds him coming out of the restroom there.

Suddenly they hear the “thing” outside. Everyone returns to the cockpit and Jack attempts to look out the windows but cannot see anything for the rain and the foliage. The pilot puts the transceiver on a seat then stands up, poking his head out of a broken window for a better view. Suddenly, with a scream, he is pulled out of the plane. Blood splatters on the outside of the window and the plane is knocked from its position in the trees and falls to the ground.

Jack, Kate and Charlie run for it. Charlie falls and gets tangled in some tree roots and Jack goes back for him. Kate continues to run and gets into the cover of a bamboo thicket before realizing that she is alone. She yells for Jack then, fighting a scream, slowly counts to five.

The rain stops and the “thing” seems to leave. Kate goes back looking for the others. She finds Charlie but not Jack. She then sees something in a puddle and picks it up, revealing it to be a set of pilot’s wings. The camera focus shifts to show the reflection of something in the trees in the puddle. She looks up as does Charlie a moment later. Charlie asks what they are seeing.

Jack appears and says that it is the pilot. He also says that the “thing” was right behind him but he didn’t see it. Kate seems extremely happy that Jack is alive.

Charlie is still staring upwards.
“Guys?” he asks. “How does something like that happen?”

The camera angle shifts to show the view from overhead. The mangled body of the pilot lies in the top of the tree.
