------------------------

And now we REVEAL who he's been calling this whole time. WHO he so desperately needed to talk to right before he decided to jump off a bridge. And it hits us like a BRICK IN THE FACE --

KATE

Hey.

Yes. KATE. OUR Kate. AUSTEN. Wait. Hold on. WHAT?!?

KATE (CONT'D)
I saw you on the news.
(then)
Still pulling people out of burning wreckage, huh?

JACK
Old habits.

And in that precise moment. That pregnant pause. It finally HITS US. --

We haven't been watching what has HAPPENED in Jack's life...

We've been watching what hasn't happened YET.

These aren't flashbacks. They're FLASH FORWARDS.
And as our minds race to keep up, Kate gives Jack the once over. Frowns --

KATE
You look terrible.

JACK
Thanks.

And he tries a SMILE. She doesn't regurn it.

KATE
Why did you call me, Jack?

A beat. Then Jack reaches into his jacket pocket. Pulls out the NEWSPAPER CLIPPING. Unfolds it for her, hands it over.
And as Kate READS it to herself --

JACK
I was hoping you heard. That maybe you'd go to the funeral.

And Kate's entire demeanor changes. ANGER in her eyes --

KATE
Why would I go to the funeral?

And now Jack looks up at her, clearly ASHAMED as he says --

JACK
I've been flying a lot.

KATE
(confused)
...What?

JACK
The gold ticket they gave us. I use it. Every Friday night. I fly from L.A. To Tokyo. Or Singapore.
(beat)
Or Sydney...
(another beat)
And then I get off. Have a drink at the airport. Then I fly back.

Kate looks at him. PUZZLED. And asks the obvious --

KATE
...Why?

Beat.

JACK
Because I want to crash, Kate.

CLOSE ON JACK as he continues, too late to turn back from his CONFESSION NOW --

JACK (CONT'D)
And I don't care about the other people on board. Every time I feel a bump. Some turbulence. I just close my eyes and I pray...
(beat; emotional)
I pray that I can go back.

Kate just looks at him. The MESS that he's become. And her sympathy now becomes SOMETHING ELSE --

KATE
This isn't going to change --

And Jack steps forward now -- IMPASSIONED --

JACK
I'm sick of lying. We made a mistake, Kate.

And here they GO... because although we don't know precisely WHEN in the future we are, we get the sense they've had this particular argument BEFORE. And Kate doesn't want to have it again.

Kate looks at him. Shakes her head.

KATE
I have to go.
(then)
He'll wonder where I was.

He? He WHO? But before Kate can turn to go --

Jack takes her hand. An attempt to recapture something -- ANYTHING -- that will get her to change her mind as he emphatically states with ALL THE INTENSITY HE CAN MUSTER --

JACK
We weren't supposed to leave!

ON KATE. Her eyes welling now. But she can't do this. She can't. But before she goes, she responds emphatic herself --

KATE
Yes, we were.

And with that, she turns around and starts to walk back to her car. But Jack isn't giving up yet --

KATE (CONT'D)
Good-bye, Jack.

ON KATE as she walks away -- trying to bottle it -- tears COMING as Kate pulls open her door. Gets in.

JACK
Kate! We have to go back!

SLAM! Kate closes her door. GUNS THE ENGINE.

And we are MEGA-CLOSE ON JACK AS HIS FACE FILLS THE SCREEN IN ALL HIS AGONIZED GLORY --

JACK (CONT'D)
WE HAVE TO GO BACK!!!!

And VWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! As an AIRPLANE LIFTS OFF THE RUNWAY BEHIND HIM and TAKES OFF RIGHT OVER JACK'S HEAD...

SMASH TO BLACK.

END OF SEASON THREE
