   TV SHOW "LOST"
Lost Zombie Season Writing Contest:
Episode 1 "Everybody Needs Hugo"
Summary

The episode takes place after the Lost finale.
Hurley sits inside the statue room. He is examining an old
board game with miniature figures and a boat. He decides to
move the boat from the ocean part of the board, to the
island portion.
          ------Opening Lost Logo------------
In the next scene, Ben and Desmond sit around a fire not far
from the statue, looking out at the ocean. Ben apologizes to
Desmond for shooting him in LA and trying to hurt Penny. He
explains that Charles Widmore forced his hand by killing
Alex. Before he can tell Desmond that he killed Charles,
Desmond spots a boat far off the coast. Ben goes to the
statue to let Hurley know.

Hurley, Ben and Desmond wait for the boat to arrive at the
beach. Ben inquires as to how Hurley brought the boat here,
and Hurley explains that it’s easier to show him. They leave
Desmond, and Hurley shows Ben the board game. They are
interrupted by Desmond’s cries.

The next scene is a flashback to Penny in LA. She is visited
by her father, Charles Widmore. Penny refuses to speak to
him until he explains where Desmond is. Charles explains
that Desmond is very important and everything that Charles
has done to Desmond was for Penny’s own good. She refuses to
believe him. He finally explains the reason for his visit;
he gives Penny a plane ticket and instructions on how she
will find Desmond again. When Penny inquires why Charles is
doing this, he tells her that "his time is over". They
embrace.

Back on the Island, the boat is revealed to be Penny’s.
Desmond and Penny have an emotional reunion, which is
however interrupted by Ben’s presence. Penny asks what Ben
is doing here, but Desmond is quick to defend him. She then
asks about Charles, only to have Ben inform everyone that he
has killed him. Hurley and Desmond have a mixed reaction,
while Penelope begins to cry and asks Desmond why he doesn’t
do something about Ben. He tries to calm her down by she
goes back to the boat. Hurley asks to come with Desmond, in
order to inform Kate, Sawyer, and everyone else who left, of
Jack’s death, but is stopped by Ben who reminds him of his
role on the Island.The three men say their goodbyes, and
Desmond gets on the boat and leaves.

After Desmond’s departure, Ben informs Hurley that their
current task is to "bury the dead", but first Hurley must
make Ben ageless like Richard. Hurley is frustrated by his
inability to know what to do. Ben reassures him that it will
come with time, and they set out to bury the graves of the
Others killed in Widmore’s mortar attack.
When Ben and Hugo arrive at the site, they cannot find any
bodies, so they come to the conclusion that the survivors
must have buried them, even though they cannot find any
graves nearby. Hugo decides that they should go to the
Temple to investigate. When heading to the Temple, however,
they are attacked by zombies, seemingly the same Others that
died in the mortar attack, but they manage to escape and get
inside the Temple walls.
Inside the Temple compound, Ben talks to the current leader
of the Others. He tells him that Hurley is the next Jacob,
and the leader asks for proof by letting Hurley heal the
wounded in the pool room (the same one Dogen put Sayid in).
Ben agrees and goes on to help the Others with fortifying
the Temple walls, while Hugo goes to the pool room.

Unfortunately, Hurley fails to heal a man and he dies from a
major wound. Sad, disturbed, and angry, Hurley rushes out of
the Temple compound before anyone can stop him. Ben inquires
why Hurley left, only to find that the man he attempted to
heal is indeed dead, BUT his wound was in fact healed by
Hurley.
The scene switches back to Hurley who walks into the bamboo
forest and sits in front of Jack’s grave. He believes that
he is not worthy of his role. Suddenly, he hears Jack’s
voice behind him. He turns around, and a zombie Jack is
revealed. He asks Hurley "You didn’t think you got rid of me
that easy, did you?"

INT. STATUE - NIGHT
Lit torches line the room; The fire burns in the middle,
with the open ceiling above; Jacob’s tapestry sits against a
wall and his empty chair in the back. A black box with
Egyptian hieroglyphs is shown. Someone’s hands open it.

Inside is a board; on it, a drawn depiction of a small
landmass can be seen on the left side, and what appears to
be ocean covering the rest of the board.




                                                    (CONTINUED)

A miniature ship and small figurines of people sit on the
right edge of the board. The hands pick up the figures, and
then put them back down, before taking the boat miniature
and moving it next to the Island.

The person is revealed to be Hurley. He stares at the board
intently, before turning around and looking out into the
night sky through the open ceiling. Zoom out to see the
entire statue foot, and a fire nearby, with two shadowy
figures sitting behind it.

FADE TO BLACK: REVEAL LOST LOGO

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY
Ben and Desmond sit on a wooden log. Desmond is looking out
to sea, while Ben stares at the ground. The Taweret statue
foot can be seen in the background.
                          BEN
             I’m sorry.

Desmond continues to look out at the sea, seemingly
oblivious to Ben.
                       BEN
             What I did in Los Angeles...what I
             was going to do...

Desmond turns to Ben.
                       BEN
             Charles got my daughter killed.

                       DESMOND
             Charles? Charles Widmore?
Ben nods quietly. Desmond turns back to the ocean.

                       DESMOND
             So. You were there for Penny then.
Ben looks down on the ground in shame.
                       DESMOND
             Where is he now.
                          BEN
             Dead.




                                                  (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:                                             4.


Desmond nods and brings his hand to his forehead to shield
his eyes from the sun as he stares out onto the ocean. He
suddenly jumps up and points to something in the distance.
Ben opens his mouth to speak but Desmond interrupts him.

                       DESMOND
             There it is!
Ben stands up and looks out. Far out at the horizon, there
is a blimp on the water in the shape of a boat. Ben turns
to Desmond and smiles.

                       BEN
             I’ll go get Hurley.
Ben runs in the statue’s direction.


INT. STATUE - DAY
Hurley sleeps on the floor around the fire in the center of
the room. Light strikes down on his face through the opening
in the ceiling.

                       BEN (0.S.)
             Hurley! Are you there?
Hurley slowly moves and opens his eyes. He raises his hand
to block out the light.

                       HURLEY
             Dude...What time is it?
                       BEN (0.S.)
             It’s here, Hurley.

                       HURLEY
             What?
                       BEN (0.S.)
             The boat Hurley. The boat’s here.
                       ---------BREAK--------

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY

Hurley, Ben and Desmond stand on the shore of the beach near
the statue. The boat is visibly closer now. Ben looks over
at Hurley with surprise.




                                                 (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:                                                5.


                       BEN
             How did you do it?
                         HURLEY
             Dude...

Desmond turns to Hurley and pats him on the shoulder with a
smile. Hurley looks confused. Ben continues looking at the
water.
                       DESMOND
                  (Enthusiastically)
             Oh you’ve got it in you brotha.
                        HURLEY
             I thought it was just a game or
             something.

Ben looks at Hurley with confusion.
                       HURLEY
             I can show you if you want.

Ben looks over at Desmond as if asking for permission.
                       DESMOND
             You boys go on. I’ll wait right
             here.

                       BEN
             Suit yourself.
Desmond sits back down on the wooden log with a content
smile. Hurley and Ben walk towards the statue.


INT. STATUE - DAY
Hurley walks inside the large room with the open ceiling. He
stops and turns around.

                         HURLEY
             Dude?
                         BEN
             Yes Hugo.

                       HURLEY
             So are you going to like...come in?
                       BEN
             You have to give me permission.


                                                   (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:                                              6.


                       HURLEY
             Ugh...alright. You...ugh...you can
             come in.
                       HURLEY
             It’s a bit messy but...
Ben walks inside the room. He looks around at the familiar
layout. Hurley watches Ben walk over to the fire. Ben stares
into it.

                       HURLEY
             Ben? Are you alright?
Ben turns back to Hurley and nods silently.
                       HURLEY
             There it is.
Hurley points to the bench in the back of the room. A square
black box sits on top. Ben walks over to it. Hurley follows.
The box has Egyptian hieroglyphs on it.

                          BEN
             May I?
                          HURLEY
             Go ahead.

Ben opens the the box.
                       BEN
             Is this...what I think it is?
                       HURLEY
             I don’t know dude.
                       BEN
             A lot simpler than I imagined.

Ben picks up the figures and examines them. He then puts
everything back and closes the box.
                       BEN
             Well, thank you for showing me
             this, Hugo. It’s nice to
             finally...be in the loop.
                          HURLEY
             Sure dude.

                       DESMOND (O.S.)
             Hey, you better get down here!

                       BEN
                  (Yelling)
             What is it, Desmond?
                       DESMOND (O.S.)
             You’re not going to believe this.

Ben and Hurley stand deep in thought.
                                                  FLASHBACK TO:


EXT. LA DOCK - DAY
Penelope Widmore leans against the railing on Desmond’s
boat. She watches her son play with a toy airplane and
smiles. Footsteps are heard near the boat; it is revealed to
be Charles Widmore. Penelope’s expression instantly changes
from happy to defensive. She whispers something in her son’s
ear and he goes down inside the boat.
                       CHARLES
             Oh Penny I’m not going to hurt
             anyone-

                       PENELOPE
             Where is Desmond!
                       CHARLES
             Desmond is perfectly safe. Please,
             just hear me out.
                       PENELOPE
             You tell me where Desmond is right
             now, or I’m calling the police!

Charles sighs. He walks onto the boat and stops in front of
Penelope.
                       CHARLES
             He’s back on the Island-

                          PENELOPE
             What? Why?
                        CHARLES
             It would take too much time to
             explain. All that you need to
             understand is...Desmond is very
             important.


                                                   (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:                                               8.


                       PENELOPE
             What are you talking about? You
             treat him like-
                       CHARLES
             Penny, everything that I have done.
             All the pain I have brought to
             you...and Desmond. It was all to
             keep you and your son safe. You
             must understand.

Penelope shakes her head in disbelief. She tries to hold
back her tears.
                       PENELOPE
             You’re insane.

                        CHARLES
             With time perhaps, you will come to
             understand. But that’s not why I’m
             here.
                   (Beat)
             Please Penny, if you want to see
             Desmond again, you have to follow
             my instructions.
                       PENELOPE
             What?

                       CHARLES
             I’ve bought you a plane ticket and
             a boat will be waiting for you.
             Everything is explained here.

Charles hands the confused Penelope a small journal and the
plane ticket. She reluctantly takes it.
                       CHARLES
             Now it is of the utmost importance
             that you take this plane on this
             exact day, and then proceed to sail
             to these exact coordinates. Do you
             understand?
Penny reads through a page in the journal. She appears
confused and shakes her head.

                       PENELOPE
             But...this is in the middle of the
             ocean...How-




                                                   (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:                                                9.


                       CHARLES
             Jacob will get you the rest of the
             way. Please, Penny, just trust me.
             I mean you no harm.

Penelope sits down. She puts the journal down and looks at
her father.
                       PENELOPE
             Why? Why are you doing this?

                       CHARLES
             Because my time is over. I won’t be
             able to bring Desmond back.
                       PENELOPE
             What do you mean?

Charles looks at her silently. There is a hint of sadness in
his eyes.
                       PENELOPE
             Dad?

                        CHARLES
             I’m sorry Penny, I have to go.
             Please just know that...I’ve always
             loved you.

Charles awaits for a response from Penny. He gives her a
silent nod and turns around. Penny runs up to him and they
embrace. She cries.
                       CHARLES
             It’s alright...
Charles pats her on the head as he looks into the distance.
                                      FLASH BACK TO THE ISLAND:


EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY
Ben and Hurley run out of the statue towards Desmond. He
stands knee-deep in the water, his attention focused on the
boat which is now only a hundred meters away.

                       DESMOND
             Penny!
10.


EXT. OCEAN - DAY
Penelope is revealed standing on the boat with the wind
blowing the sail towards the Island. She waves happily to
Desmond.

                    PENELOPE
          Des!
                    DESMOND
          Penny!


EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER
The boat is just a few meters away from the beach. Desmond
runs deeper and deeper into the water. Penelope jumps down.
They embrace and kiss in neck-deep water.
Ben looks over at Hurley, who smiles at the sight of the
reunion. Ben is clearly agitated and uneasy. Penelope and
Desmond talk as they finally walk out of the water.
Penelope’s expression changes when she notices Ben.

                    PENELOPE
          What is he doing here? Des?
                    DESMOND
          He’s alright Penny. It’s alright.
          Don’t worry. He helped me.
Penelope looks over at Ben and then back at Desmond.
                    BEN
          I’m sorry Penelope-

                    DESMOND
          It’s a long story, Pen.
There is a short silence as everyone stands and comprehends
the situation.

                    PENELOPE
          Desmond? Where is my father?
Desmond looks over at Penelope and stops smiling. She is
confused.
                    DESMOND
          He’s-

                          BEN
             He’s dead.

Penelope brings her hand to her face. Desmond looks over at
Ben and comforts Penelope. Ben remains emotionless.
                          PENELOPE
             How...

                       BEN
             I killed him.
Everyone looks over at Ben with bewilderment.
-------------------BREAK-------------------------------


EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER
Penelope cries in Desmond’s arms. Desmond looks over at Ben
with a troubled expression. Hurley looks at Ben intently.

                       PENELOPE
             Aren’t you going to do something?
                       DESMOND
             No...Charles...he ugh...

                       BEN
             He killed my daughter. I’m sorry
             Penelope.
Penelope looks over at Ben with disgust.

                       PENELOPE
             Let’s get out of here Desmond.
Desmond tries to comfort Penelope but she breaks out of his
arms and wipes away the tears. She walks back over to the
boat. Desmond looks over at Ben and sighs, before he turns
back towards Penelope.
                       HURLEY
             Dude, wait.

Desmond turns around.
                       HURLEY
             Can I ugh...can I come with you?

                       BEN
             What? Hurley?
Hurley looks over at Ben. Desmond is confused.

             Somebody has to tell them...about
             Jack.
Desmond stands in silence for a moment and then nods his
head.
                       DESMOND
             Of course Hurley. You’re free to-
                       BEN
             Hugo, you can’t.
                  (Beat)
             This island needs you.
                       HURLEY
             They deserve to know dude.

                       BEN
             Desmond can tell them.
                       HURLEY
             But it wouldn’t-

                       BEN
             Hurley, Jack believed in you. Your
             responsibility is here now. It’s
             what he would want.

Hurley sighs and walks over to Desmond. They shake hands,
and Desmond leans in for a hug. Ben walks over to Desmond
and they reluctantly shake hands as well. Desmond gets on
the boat with Penelope. They start to move way from the
beach. Ben and Hurley stand together and watch the boat
leave. Hurley waves.

EXT. BOAT - DAY
Desmond leans over the railing on the boat, looking back at
the Island. His expression is both relieved and happy.
Penelope comes next to him and embraces him from behind.
They smile and kiss.

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER

Hurley and Ben walk away from the beach and sit down on the
wooden log.
                       HURLEY
             So...what now dude.


                                                  (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:                                              13.


                       BEN
             Now Hugo, we need to bury the dead.
Hurley looks at Ben with a disgusted expression. Ben looks
back at him.

                       BEN
             But first, you need to make me like
             Richard.
Hurley looks at Ben with confusion.

-------------------------BREAK------------------------------

EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER

Hurley stands in front of Ben. He looks incredibly
concentrated with closed eyes. Ben watches him from the
wooden log.
                       BEN
             Hurley, I don’t think-

                       HURLEY
             Dude...just let me focus.
Ben sighs and looks away. Hurley finally opens his eyes.

                       HURLEY
             So...do you feel any different.
                       BEN
             Not that I can tell.

Hurley sighs.
                       HURLEY
             I’m sorry dude. I don’t know how.

Ben is deep in thought. Hurley sits down in front of the
fire, facing the ocean.
                       HURLEY
             I’m not...I’m not meant for
             this...I’m not Jack.

Hurley throws a stone into the ocean. Ben springs to his
feet after Hurley’s words. He walks over to Hurley and sits
down next to him. Hurley looks at Ben.

CONTINUED:                                            14.


                       BEN
             You don’t have to do it now, Hugo.
             We can’t expect you to learn
             everything in a week.

Ben gives Hurley an enthusiastic smile.
                       BEN
             Now come on, we have a job to do.
Ben stands up. Hurley reluctantly follows him.


EXT. JUNGLE - DAY
Hurley follows Ben through the thick jungle.

                       HURLEY
                  (Panting)
             So...who are going to bury exactly?
                       BEN
             The people Charles Widmore killed.

                       HURLEY
             So those rockets he fired?
                       BEN
             Not rockets. Mortar shells.

                       HURLEY
             Alright dude, but you should know.
                  (Beat)
             I’m not that good around...bodies.

                       BEN
             It’s alright Hugo all we have to do
             is bury them.
They continue walking.


EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY
Ben and Hurley walk out of the jungle onto a beach. There is
a pillar of faint black smoke rising just ahead, beyond some
trees. Ben turns to Hurley.
                       BEN
             We’re almost there.
15.


EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER
Ben and Hurley walk past the trees and the mortar attack
site is revealed. There are a number of black patches on the
ground with smoke rising from them, but no bodies. Ben runs
over to the site and looks around. Hurley follows.

                    HURLEY
          Um dude, aren’t there supposed to
          be bodies...and stuff.

                    BEN
          I...don’t understand.
                    HURLEY
          Maybe somebody already buried them.

Ben looks at Hurley.
                    BEN
          I suppose that it’s possible that
          some of them survived, but...I
          don’t see any graves.
               (Beat)
          And I doubt they would carry them
          all the way back to the Temple.
                    HURLEY
          Only one way to find out.

Ben nods at Hurley.
                    HURLEY
          We’re going to the Temple.

---------------------BREAK----------------------------

EXT. JUNGLE - DAY
Hurley and Ben are back in the jungle, but this time Hurley
leads the way.
                    BEN
          You sure you’re going the right
          way?

Hurley stops and turns around to Ben.
                    HURLEY
          Well, I AM the protector of the
          Island, aren’t I?


                                                 (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:                                              16.


                         BEN
             Sorry.
The men continue walking. There is a silence for a moment.
                       HURLEY
             So um...I was wondering.
                  (Beat)
             Will I ever be able to...you know.
             Go off the Island.

                       BEN
             Of course Hugo. Just...not now.
                       HURLEY
             Yeah dude it’s just that...you know
             my mom...and my dad-

                         BEN
             Stop.
                         HURLEY
             What?

                         BEN
             Be quiet.
Both men stop. Ben listens intently. There is a sudden noise
of footsteps over leaves. Ben steps in front of Hurley and
motions him to be quiet. The noise gets louder and louder as
it gets closer. It is revealed to be a pale corpse with a
chopped off arm and torn clothing. Ben and Hurley both stare
in awe and fear. The corpse examines them before making a
growling noise.

                       HURLEY
             Dude...is that like-
                         BEN
             Run.

                         HURLEY
             OK.
Hurley and Ben race through the jungle, followed by the
corpse. As they run they hear more similar growls from all
around them. More corpses reveal themselves from the bushes.
Hurley and Ben continue running, chased by the slowly
advancing corpses. The Temple is finally in sight, but
another corpse stands between the two men and the gates. Ben
and Hurley stop.



                                                   (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:                                               17.


                       HURLEY
             Dude. I got this.
                       BEN
             Hugo just don’t do anything-

                       HURLEY
             Just trust me on this.
Hurley holds Ben back and charges into the corpse, which
only has time to react with a confused face before Hurley
tackles it out of the way. Hurley turns around to the
bewildered Ben.
                       HURLEY
             This is like, Land of the Dead
             dude.

Ben follows Hurley. He pounds loudly on the Temple gates.
Hurley watches him silently for a moment before joining.
                       HURLEY
             Hey let us in, we’re alive!

Hurley looks behind himself; the corpses are fast
approaching.
                       HURLEY
             Ugh dude, we don’t have much time.

                       BEN
             This is Benjamin Linus and Hugo
             Rayes, let us inside!
                       OTHER #1
             What lies in the shadow of the
             statue?
Ben thinks for a moment.

                       BEN
             He who will save us all.
The gates quickly open and a number of arms shove Hurley and
Ben inside.


INT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY
A group of Others quickly inspects them.

             Dude. Do I look like one of those
             zombies to you?
                       BEN
             This is ridiculous he is Jacob’s
             replacement-
                       OTHER #1
             They’re clear.

The man that appears to be in charge nods.
                       LEADER
             Look I don’t know who you think you
             are but you obviously know the
             code. So you can either help us
             fortify this place or try your
             chances outside.
                       BEN
                  (Frustrated)
             This is Hugo Rayes, he was passed
             on the leadership of this Island
             from Jacob. Now if you just-
                       LEADER
             I don’t have time for this. If you
             want to prove he is in Jacob’s
             place...
The leader looks at Hurley.
                       LEADER
             ...Then perhaps he can help with
             the wounded in the pool room.
The leader looks at Ben.
                       LEADER
             You on the other hand will have to-
                       BEN
             Fine fine I’ll help, but first tell
             us what the hell that is out there.

The leader crosses his arms and sighs.
                       LEADER
             Your guess is as good as mine. It
             certainly looks like His work-

             But he’s dead.
                       LEADER
             Yes.

The group of men stand silent for a moment.
                        BEN
             Alright Hugo, you go on and help
             with the wounded and I’ll do my
             best here.
                       HURLEY
             Dude, I don’t think I can do that
             yet-

                       BEN
             Hugo we don’t have time. Please,
             just try.
Ben follows a man to the wall surrounding the Temple
compound. Two others start heading to the Pool Room and stop
halfway, looking at Hurley with expectation. He finally
follows.

INT. TEMPLE POOL ROOM - DAY

Hurley and the two others walk into the pool room. The water
in the pool appears to be quite dark. A number of injured
others lie on the stone floor around the pool. Another man
appears to be caring for them, as he replaces a bandage on a
gashing wound.

                       HURLEY
             Dude, he’s not gonna make it.
                       OTHER #1
             Come on, get him in the pool.

Hurley watches the two men that accompanied him grab the
dying man and walk down the steps into the water. They look
at Hurley.
                       OTHER #1
             Well come on now, are you going to
             help him or not?
                       HURLEY
             Ugh...



                                                  (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:                                             20.

Hurley quickly runs over to the steps and descends into the
water. The two men pass the injured other into his arms as
he floats carelessly on the water.

                        HURLEY
             So ugh, what do I do now?
                   (Beat)
             Guys?

The two men quickly run out of the water and back outside.
The other tending to the sick ignores Hurley and continues
to help the injured.
Hurley holds the man as he floats in the water and gazes
around as if looking for advice. He finally puts his hand
over the wound and closes his eyes, concentrating. He opens
his eyes after a moment, but the wound is still present. The
man appears to be dead. Hurley checks his pulse to verify.
He finally lets go of the body and it flows to the center of
the pool. Hurley walks backwards and crashes on the steps.

                       HURLEY
             No, no no...Damn it!
                       OTHER #2
             Did it work?

Hurley gets up and wipes his bloody hands on his shirt. He
quickly runs up the steps and out of the room.
                       OTHER #2
             Hey, he’s dead! Where are you
             going?
                  (Beat)
             Hey I’m talking to you!

INT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY

Hurley quickly walks towards the gates. The man follows him
out of the pool room.
                       OTHER #2
             Hey, stop him!

Hurley quickens his pace. He gets to the gate and pushes an
unsuspecting other aside to open it. Ben notices the
commotion from atop the wall.
                       BEN
             Hurley? What are you doing?
Hurley looks over at Ben with a sad expression.

             Wait-

Hurley runs out of the gates.

EXT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY

Ben yells of the wall. Hurley continues to quickly walk
away.

INT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY

Ben rushes down the ladder from the wall. He walks over to
the 2ND other.
                       BEN
             What did you do to him?

                       OTHER #2
             I didn’t do anything, he just ran
             out!
                          BEN
             Why?

                       OTHER #2
             He tried to heal one of the
             men...but it didn’t work.
                       BEN
             Are you sure?
                       OTHER #2
             Go look for yourself.

The two men rush over to the pool room.

INT.TEMPLE POOL ROOM - DAY
Ben spots the body floating in the pool and quickly jumps
inside. He inspects the man for injuries, but doesn’t find
any. He notices a scar on his stomach.
                          BEN
             He’s dead.

             I know.
                       BEN
             But his wound is healed.

The other quickly runs down the steps into the water, and
looks at the healed wound. All that remains is a sizable
scar.
                       OTHER #2
             But...I don’t understand. The only
             person with the healing power is-
                       BEN
             Yes. Jacob’s dead.
                  (Beat)
             And Hurley is his replacement.
The other looks at Ben with surprise.
-------------------------BREAK----------------------------


EXT. JUNGLE - DAY
Hurley continues trumping through the jungle without much
care for making noise. He looks forward and sees a large
bamboo forest ahead. He slows down his pace, grabbing the
bamboo for support as he walks deeper and deeper inside. He
sees a thin wooden pole sticking out of the ground and
breathes a sigh of relief. He walks in front of it; it is a
makeshift grave. He sits down on the ground in front of it
with a saddened expression.

                       HURLEY
             I’m sorry dude. I failed you.
                  (Beat)
             I’m not a great man Jack. I can’t
             take your place.

Hurley starts to sob. He suddenly hears something shuffle in
the leaves behind him and turns around with a fearful
expression. It’s an extremely pale JACK. His skin has a
bluish tone to it, and a large red spot stands out on his
lower abdomen, dripping with blood all the way down to his
jeans. His neck is also bleeding from a sizable wound.
                       JACK
             Hey Hurley. You didn’t think you
             got rid of me that easy, did you?

Hurley is astonished. Jack smiles at him.

Everybody Needs the Board Game

  • 1. "EVERYBODY NEEDS HUGO" By LockeRedemption Jason Oleinik TV SHOW "LOST"
  • 2. Lost Zombie Season Writing Contest: Episode 1 "Everybody Needs Hugo" Summary The episode takes place after the Lost finale. Hurley sits inside the statue room. He is examining an old board game with miniature figures and a boat. He decides to move the boat from the ocean part of the board, to the island portion. ------Opening Lost Logo------------ In the next scene, Ben and Desmond sit around a fire not far from the statue, looking out at the ocean. Ben apologizes to Desmond for shooting him in LA and trying to hurt Penny. He explains that Charles Widmore forced his hand by killing Alex. Before he can tell Desmond that he killed Charles, Desmond spots a boat far off the coast. Ben goes to the statue to let Hurley know. Hurley, Ben and Desmond wait for the boat to arrive at the beach. Ben inquires as to how Hurley brought the boat here, and Hurley explains that it’s easier to show him. They leave Desmond, and Hurley shows Ben the board game. They are interrupted by Desmond’s cries. The next scene is a flashback to Penny in LA. She is visited by her father, Charles Widmore. Penny refuses to speak to him until he explains where Desmond is. Charles explains that Desmond is very important and everything that Charles has done to Desmond was for Penny’s own good. She refuses to believe him. He finally explains the reason for his visit; he gives Penny a plane ticket and instructions on how she will find Desmond again. When Penny inquires why Charles is doing this, he tells her that "his time is over". They embrace. Back on the Island, the boat is revealed to be Penny’s. Desmond and Penny have an emotional reunion, which is however interrupted by Ben’s presence. Penny asks what Ben is doing here, but Desmond is quick to defend him. She then asks about Charles, only to have Ben inform everyone that he has killed him. Hurley and Desmond have a mixed reaction, while Penelope begins to cry and asks Desmond why he doesn’t do something about Ben. He tries to calm her down by she goes back to the boat. Hurley asks to come with Desmond, in order to inform Kate, Sawyer, and everyone else who left, of Jack’s death, but is stopped by Ben who reminds him of his role on the Island.The three men say their goodbyes, and Desmond gets on the boat and leaves.
  • 3. 2. After Desmond’s departure, Ben informs Hurley that their current task is to "bury the dead", but first Hurley must make Ben ageless like Richard. Hurley is frustrated by his inability to know what to do. Ben reassures him that it will come with time, and they set out to bury the graves of the Others killed in Widmore’s mortar attack. When Ben and Hugo arrive at the site, they cannot find any bodies, so they come to the conclusion that the survivors must have buried them, even though they cannot find any graves nearby. Hugo decides that they should go to the Temple to investigate. When heading to the Temple, however, they are attacked by zombies, seemingly the same Others that died in the mortar attack, but they manage to escape and get inside the Temple walls. Inside the Temple compound, Ben talks to the current leader of the Others. He tells him that Hurley is the next Jacob, and the leader asks for proof by letting Hurley heal the wounded in the pool room (the same one Dogen put Sayid in). Ben agrees and goes on to help the Others with fortifying the Temple walls, while Hugo goes to the pool room. Unfortunately, Hurley fails to heal a man and he dies from a major wound. Sad, disturbed, and angry, Hurley rushes out of the Temple compound before anyone can stop him. Ben inquires why Hurley left, only to find that the man he attempted to heal is indeed dead, BUT his wound was in fact healed by Hurley. The scene switches back to Hurley who walks into the bamboo forest and sits in front of Jack’s grave. He believes that he is not worthy of his role. Suddenly, he hears Jack’s voice behind him. He turns around, and a zombie Jack is revealed. He asks Hurley "You didn’t think you got rid of me that easy, did you?" ------------Closing Lost Logo------------ INT. STATUE - NIGHT Lit torches line the room; The fire burns in the middle, with the open ceiling above; Jacob’s tapestry sits against a wall and his empty chair in the back. A black box with Egyptian hieroglyphs is shown. Someone’s hands open it. Inside is a board; on it, a drawn depiction of a small landmass can be seen on the left side, and what appears to be ocean covering the rest of the board. (CONTINUED)
  • 4. CONTINUED: 3. A miniature ship and small figurines of people sit on the right edge of the board. The hands pick up the figures, and then put them back down, before taking the boat miniature and moving it next to the Island. The person is revealed to be Hurley. He stares at the board intently, before turning around and looking out into the night sky through the open ceiling. Zoom out to see the entire statue foot, and a fire nearby, with two shadowy figures sitting behind it. FADE TO BLACK: REVEAL LOST LOGO EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY Ben and Desmond sit on a wooden log. Desmond is looking out to sea, while Ben stares at the ground. The Taweret statue foot can be seen in the background. BEN I’m sorry. Desmond continues to look out at the sea, seemingly oblivious to Ben. BEN What I did in Los Angeles...what I was going to do... Desmond turns to Ben. BEN Charles got my daughter killed. DESMOND Charles? Charles Widmore? Ben nods quietly. Desmond turns back to the ocean. DESMOND So. You were there for Penny then. Ben looks down on the ground in shame. DESMOND Where is he now. BEN Dead. (CONTINUED)
  • 5. CONTINUED: 4. Desmond nods and brings his hand to his forehead to shield his eyes from the sun as he stares out onto the ocean. He suddenly jumps up and points to something in the distance. Ben opens his mouth to speak but Desmond interrupts him. DESMOND There it is! Ben stands up and looks out. Far out at the horizon, there is a blimp on the water in the shape of a boat. Ben turns to Desmond and smiles. BEN I’ll go get Hurley. Ben runs in the statue’s direction. INT. STATUE - DAY Hurley sleeps on the floor around the fire in the center of the room. Light strikes down on his face through the opening in the ceiling. BEN (0.S.) Hurley! Are you there? Hurley slowly moves and opens his eyes. He raises his hand to block out the light. HURLEY Dude...What time is it? BEN (0.S.) It’s here, Hurley. HURLEY What? BEN (0.S.) The boat Hurley. The boat’s here. ---------BREAK-------- EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY Hurley, Ben and Desmond stand on the shore of the beach near the statue. The boat is visibly closer now. Ben looks over at Hurley with surprise. (CONTINUED)
  • 6. CONTINUED: 5. BEN How did you do it? HURLEY Dude... Desmond turns to Hurley and pats him on the shoulder with a smile. Hurley looks confused. Ben continues looking at the water. DESMOND (Enthusiastically) Oh you’ve got it in you brotha. HURLEY I thought it was just a game or something. Ben looks at Hurley with confusion. HURLEY I can show you if you want. Ben looks over at Desmond as if asking for permission. DESMOND You boys go on. I’ll wait right here. BEN Suit yourself. Desmond sits back down on the wooden log with a content smile. Hurley and Ben walk towards the statue. INT. STATUE - DAY Hurley walks inside the large room with the open ceiling. He stops and turns around. HURLEY Dude? BEN Yes Hugo. HURLEY So are you going to like...come in? BEN You have to give me permission. (CONTINUED)
  • 7. CONTINUED: 6. HURLEY Ugh...alright. You...ugh...you can come in. HURLEY It’s a bit messy but... Ben walks inside the room. He looks around at the familiar layout. Hurley watches Ben walk over to the fire. Ben stares into it. HURLEY Ben? Are you alright? Ben turns back to Hurley and nods silently. HURLEY There it is. Hurley points to the bench in the back of the room. A square black box sits on top. Ben walks over to it. Hurley follows. The box has Egyptian hieroglyphs on it. BEN May I? HURLEY Go ahead. Ben opens the the box. BEN Is this...what I think it is? HURLEY I don’t know dude. BEN A lot simpler than I imagined. Ben picks up the figures and examines them. He then puts everything back and closes the box. BEN Well, thank you for showing me this, Hugo. It’s nice to finally...be in the loop. HURLEY Sure dude. (CONTINUED)
  • 8. CONTINUED: 7. DESMOND (O.S.) Hey, you better get down here! BEN (Yelling) What is it, Desmond? DESMOND (O.S.) You’re not going to believe this. Ben and Hurley stand deep in thought. FLASHBACK TO: EXT. LA DOCK - DAY Penelope Widmore leans against the railing on Desmond’s boat. She watches her son play with a toy airplane and smiles. Footsteps are heard near the boat; it is revealed to be Charles Widmore. Penelope’s expression instantly changes from happy to defensive. She whispers something in her son’s ear and he goes down inside the boat. CHARLES Oh Penny I’m not going to hurt anyone- PENELOPE Where is Desmond! CHARLES Desmond is perfectly safe. Please, just hear me out. PENELOPE You tell me where Desmond is right now, or I’m calling the police! Charles sighs. He walks onto the boat and stops in front of Penelope. CHARLES He’s back on the Island- PENELOPE What? Why? CHARLES It would take too much time to explain. All that you need to understand is...Desmond is very important. (CONTINUED)
  • 9. CONTINUED: 8. PENELOPE What are you talking about? You treat him like- CHARLES Penny, everything that I have done. All the pain I have brought to you...and Desmond. It was all to keep you and your son safe. You must understand. Penelope shakes her head in disbelief. She tries to hold back her tears. PENELOPE You’re insane. CHARLES With time perhaps, you will come to understand. But that’s not why I’m here. (Beat) Please Penny, if you want to see Desmond again, you have to follow my instructions. PENELOPE What? CHARLES I’ve bought you a plane ticket and a boat will be waiting for you. Everything is explained here. Charles hands the confused Penelope a small journal and the plane ticket. She reluctantly takes it. CHARLES Now it is of the utmost importance that you take this plane on this exact day, and then proceed to sail to these exact coordinates. Do you understand? Penny reads through a page in the journal. She appears confused and shakes her head. PENELOPE But...this is in the middle of the ocean...How- (CONTINUED)
  • 10. CONTINUED: 9. CHARLES Jacob will get you the rest of the way. Please, Penny, just trust me. I mean you no harm. Penelope sits down. She puts the journal down and looks at her father. PENELOPE Why? Why are you doing this? CHARLES Because my time is over. I won’t be able to bring Desmond back. PENELOPE What do you mean? Charles looks at her silently. There is a hint of sadness in his eyes. PENELOPE Dad? CHARLES I’m sorry Penny, I have to go. Please just know that...I’ve always loved you. Charles awaits for a response from Penny. He gives her a silent nod and turns around. Penny runs up to him and they embrace. She cries. CHARLES It’s alright... Charles pats her on the head as he looks into the distance. FLASH BACK TO THE ISLAND: EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY Ben and Hurley run out of the statue towards Desmond. He stands knee-deep in the water, his attention focused on the boat which is now only a hundred meters away. DESMOND Penny!
  • 11. 10. EXT. OCEAN - DAY Penelope is revealed standing on the boat with the wind blowing the sail towards the Island. She waves happily to Desmond. PENELOPE Des! DESMOND Penny! EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER The boat is just a few meters away from the beach. Desmond runs deeper and deeper into the water. Penelope jumps down. They embrace and kiss in neck-deep water. Ben looks over at Hurley, who smiles at the sight of the reunion. Ben is clearly agitated and uneasy. Penelope and Desmond talk as they finally walk out of the water. Penelope’s expression changes when she notices Ben. PENELOPE What is he doing here? Des? DESMOND He’s alright Penny. It’s alright. Don’t worry. He helped me. Penelope looks over at Ben and then back at Desmond. BEN I’m sorry Penelope- DESMOND It’s a long story, Pen. There is a short silence as everyone stands and comprehends the situation. PENELOPE Desmond? Where is my father? Desmond looks over at Penelope and stops smiling. She is confused. DESMOND He’s- (CONTINUED)
  • 12. CONTINUED: 11. BEN He’s dead. Penelope brings her hand to her face. Desmond looks over at Ben and comforts Penelope. Ben remains emotionless. PENELOPE How... BEN I killed him. Everyone looks over at Ben with bewilderment. -------------------BREAK------------------------------- EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER Penelope cries in Desmond’s arms. Desmond looks over at Ben with a troubled expression. Hurley looks at Ben intently. PENELOPE Aren’t you going to do something? DESMOND No...Charles...he ugh... BEN He killed my daughter. I’m sorry Penelope. Penelope looks over at Ben with disgust. PENELOPE Let’s get out of here Desmond. Desmond tries to comfort Penelope but she breaks out of his arms and wipes away the tears. She walks back over to the boat. Desmond looks over at Ben and sighs, before he turns back towards Penelope. HURLEY Dude, wait. Desmond turns around. HURLEY Can I ugh...can I come with you? BEN What? Hurley? Hurley looks over at Ben. Desmond is confused. (CONTINUED)
  • 13. CONTINUED: 12. HURLEY Somebody has to tell them...about Jack. Desmond stands in silence for a moment and then nods his head. DESMOND Of course Hurley. You’re free to- BEN Hugo, you can’t. (Beat) This island needs you. HURLEY They deserve to know dude. BEN Desmond can tell them. HURLEY But it wouldn’t- BEN Hurley, Jack believed in you. Your responsibility is here now. It’s what he would want. Hurley sighs and walks over to Desmond. They shake hands, and Desmond leans in for a hug. Ben walks over to Desmond and they reluctantly shake hands as well. Desmond gets on the boat with Penelope. They start to move way from the beach. Ben and Hurley stand together and watch the boat leave. Hurley waves. EXT. BOAT - DAY Desmond leans over the railing on the boat, looking back at the Island. His expression is both relieved and happy. Penelope comes next to him and embraces him from behind. They smile and kiss. EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER Hurley and Ben walk away from the beach and sit down on the wooden log. HURLEY So...what now dude. (CONTINUED)
  • 14. CONTINUED: 13. BEN Now Hugo, we need to bury the dead. Hurley looks at Ben with a disgusted expression. Ben looks back at him. BEN But first, you need to make me like Richard. Hurley looks at Ben with confusion. -------------------------BREAK------------------------------ EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER Hurley stands in front of Ben. He looks incredibly concentrated with closed eyes. Ben watches him from the wooden log. BEN Hurley, I don’t think- HURLEY Dude...just let me focus. Ben sighs and looks away. Hurley finally opens his eyes. HURLEY So...do you feel any different. BEN Not that I can tell. Hurley sighs. HURLEY I’m sorry dude. I don’t know how. Ben is deep in thought. Hurley sits down in front of the fire, facing the ocean. HURLEY I’m not...I’m not meant for this...I’m not Jack. Hurley throws a stone into the ocean. Ben springs to his feet after Hurley’s words. He walks over to Hurley and sits down next to him. Hurley looks at Ben. (CONTINUED)
  • 15. CONTINUED: 14. BEN You don’t have to do it now, Hugo. We can’t expect you to learn everything in a week. Ben gives Hurley an enthusiastic smile. BEN Now come on, we have a job to do. Ben stands up. Hurley reluctantly follows him. EXT. JUNGLE - DAY Hurley follows Ben through the thick jungle. HURLEY (Panting) So...who are going to bury exactly? BEN The people Charles Widmore killed. HURLEY So those rockets he fired? BEN Not rockets. Mortar shells. HURLEY Alright dude, but you should know. (Beat) I’m not that good around...bodies. BEN It’s alright Hugo all we have to do is bury them. They continue walking. EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY Ben and Hurley walk out of the jungle onto a beach. There is a pillar of faint black smoke rising just ahead, beyond some trees. Ben turns to Hurley. BEN We’re almost there.
  • 16. 15. EXT. ISLAND BEACH - LATER Ben and Hurley walk past the trees and the mortar attack site is revealed. There are a number of black patches on the ground with smoke rising from them, but no bodies. Ben runs over to the site and looks around. Hurley follows. HURLEY Um dude, aren’t there supposed to be bodies...and stuff. BEN I...don’t understand. HURLEY Maybe somebody already buried them. Ben looks at Hurley. BEN I suppose that it’s possible that some of them survived, but...I don’t see any graves. (Beat) And I doubt they would carry them all the way back to the Temple. HURLEY Only one way to find out. Ben nods at Hurley. HURLEY We’re going to the Temple. ---------------------BREAK---------------------------- EXT. JUNGLE - DAY Hurley and Ben are back in the jungle, but this time Hurley leads the way. BEN You sure you’re going the right way? Hurley stops and turns around to Ben. HURLEY Well, I AM the protector of the Island, aren’t I? (CONTINUED)
  • 17. CONTINUED: 16. BEN Sorry. The men continue walking. There is a silence for a moment. HURLEY So um...I was wondering. (Beat) Will I ever be able to...you know. Go off the Island. BEN Of course Hugo. Just...not now. HURLEY Yeah dude it’s just that...you know my mom...and my dad- BEN Stop. HURLEY What? BEN Be quiet. Both men stop. Ben listens intently. There is a sudden noise of footsteps over leaves. Ben steps in front of Hurley and motions him to be quiet. The noise gets louder and louder as it gets closer. It is revealed to be a pale corpse with a chopped off arm and torn clothing. Ben and Hurley both stare in awe and fear. The corpse examines them before making a growling noise. HURLEY Dude...is that like- BEN Run. HURLEY OK. Hurley and Ben race through the jungle, followed by the corpse. As they run they hear more similar growls from all around them. More corpses reveal themselves from the bushes. Hurley and Ben continue running, chased by the slowly advancing corpses. The Temple is finally in sight, but another corpse stands between the two men and the gates. Ben and Hurley stop. (CONTINUED)
  • 18. CONTINUED: 17. HURLEY Dude. I got this. BEN Hugo just don’t do anything- HURLEY Just trust me on this. Hurley holds Ben back and charges into the corpse, which only has time to react with a confused face before Hurley tackles it out of the way. Hurley turns around to the bewildered Ben. HURLEY This is like, Land of the Dead dude. Ben follows Hurley. He pounds loudly on the Temple gates. Hurley watches him silently for a moment before joining. HURLEY Hey let us in, we’re alive! Hurley looks behind himself; the corpses are fast approaching. HURLEY Ugh dude, we don’t have much time. BEN This is Benjamin Linus and Hugo Rayes, let us inside! OTHER #1 What lies in the shadow of the statue? Ben thinks for a moment. BEN He who will save us all. The gates quickly open and a number of arms shove Hurley and Ben inside. INT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY A group of Others quickly inspects them. (CONTINUED)
  • 19. CONTINUED: 18. HURLEY Dude. Do I look like one of those zombies to you? BEN This is ridiculous he is Jacob’s replacement- OTHER #1 They’re clear. The man that appears to be in charge nods. LEADER Look I don’t know who you think you are but you obviously know the code. So you can either help us fortify this place or try your chances outside. BEN (Frustrated) This is Hugo Rayes, he was passed on the leadership of this Island from Jacob. Now if you just- LEADER I don’t have time for this. If you want to prove he is in Jacob’s place... The leader looks at Hurley. LEADER ...Then perhaps he can help with the wounded in the pool room. The leader looks at Ben. LEADER You on the other hand will have to- BEN Fine fine I’ll help, but first tell us what the hell that is out there. The leader crosses his arms and sighs. LEADER Your guess is as good as mine. It certainly looks like His work- (CONTINUED)
  • 20. CONTINUED: 19. BEN But he’s dead. LEADER Yes. The group of men stand silent for a moment. BEN Alright Hugo, you go on and help with the wounded and I’ll do my best here. HURLEY Dude, I don’t think I can do that yet- BEN Hugo we don’t have time. Please, just try. Ben follows a man to the wall surrounding the Temple compound. Two others start heading to the Pool Room and stop halfway, looking at Hurley with expectation. He finally follows. INT. TEMPLE POOL ROOM - DAY Hurley and the two others walk into the pool room. The water in the pool appears to be quite dark. A number of injured others lie on the stone floor around the pool. Another man appears to be caring for them, as he replaces a bandage on a gashing wound. HURLEY Dude, he’s not gonna make it. OTHER #1 Come on, get him in the pool. Hurley watches the two men that accompanied him grab the dying man and walk down the steps into the water. They look at Hurley. OTHER #1 Well come on now, are you going to help him or not? HURLEY Ugh... (CONTINUED)
  • 21. CONTINUED: 20. Hurley quickly runs over to the steps and descends into the water. The two men pass the injured other into his arms as he floats carelessly on the water. HURLEY So ugh, what do I do now? (Beat) Guys? The two men quickly run out of the water and back outside. The other tending to the sick ignores Hurley and continues to help the injured. Hurley holds the man as he floats in the water and gazes around as if looking for advice. He finally puts his hand over the wound and closes his eyes, concentrating. He opens his eyes after a moment, but the wound is still present. The man appears to be dead. Hurley checks his pulse to verify. He finally lets go of the body and it flows to the center of the pool. Hurley walks backwards and crashes on the steps. HURLEY No, no no...Damn it! OTHER #2 Did it work? Hurley gets up and wipes his bloody hands on his shirt. He quickly runs up the steps and out of the room. OTHER #2 Hey, he’s dead! Where are you going? (Beat) Hey I’m talking to you! INT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY Hurley quickly walks towards the gates. The man follows him out of the pool room. OTHER #2 Hey, stop him! Hurley quickens his pace. He gets to the gate and pushes an unsuspecting other aside to open it. Ben notices the commotion from atop the wall. BEN Hurley? What are you doing? Hurley looks over at Ben with a sad expression. (CONTINUED)
  • 22. CONTINUED: 21. HURLEY This isn’t for me dude. BEN Wait- Hurley runs out of the gates. EXT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY Ben yells of the wall. Hurley continues to quickly walk away. INT. TEMPLE COMPOUND - DAY Ben rushes down the ladder from the wall. He walks over to the 2ND other. BEN What did you do to him? OTHER #2 I didn’t do anything, he just ran out! BEN Why? OTHER #2 He tried to heal one of the men...but it didn’t work. BEN Are you sure? OTHER #2 Go look for yourself. The two men rush over to the pool room. INT.TEMPLE POOL ROOM - DAY Ben spots the body floating in the pool and quickly jumps inside. He inspects the man for injuries, but doesn’t find any. He notices a scar on his stomach. BEN He’s dead. (CONTINUED)
  • 23. CONTINUED: 22. OTHER #2 I know. BEN But his wound is healed. The other quickly runs down the steps into the water, and looks at the healed wound. All that remains is a sizable scar. OTHER #2 But...I don’t understand. The only person with the healing power is- BEN Yes. Jacob’s dead. (Beat) And Hurley is his replacement. The other looks at Ben with surprise. -------------------------BREAK---------------------------- EXT. JUNGLE - DAY Hurley continues trumping through the jungle without much care for making noise. He looks forward and sees a large bamboo forest ahead. He slows down his pace, grabbing the bamboo for support as he walks deeper and deeper inside. He sees a thin wooden pole sticking out of the ground and breathes a sigh of relief. He walks in front of it; it is a makeshift grave. He sits down on the ground in front of it with a saddened expression. HURLEY I’m sorry dude. I failed you. (Beat) I’m not a great man Jack. I can’t take your place. Hurley starts to sob. He suddenly hears something shuffle in the leaves behind him and turns around with a fearful expression. It’s an extremely pale JACK. His skin has a bluish tone to it, and a large red spot stands out on his lower abdomen, dripping with blood all the way down to his jeans. His neck is also bleeding from a sizable wound. JACK Hey Hurley. You didn’t think you got rid of me that easy, did you? Hurley is astonished. Jack smiles at him.
