himself with strong charisma and a powerful presence. Fox
is best known for starring in the hugely successful series, Party
of Five, winner of the 1996 Golden Globe for Best Drama. He has
other numerous credits, which include a starring role in the critically
acclaimed series, Haunted and the made-for-television movie, Behind

Hailing
from a ranch in Wyoming, where his family raised horses and barley,
Fox enjoyed the all-American upbringing that led him to play football
at Columbia University, where he also studied economics. With every
intent of being a successful Wall Street broker, Fox instead was
swayed to modeling, which led to some commercial spots, and he has
been sold on acting ever since.
Evangeline Lilly
Kate
Evangeline Lilly's combination of irresistible charm and natural
talent is earning her a reputation as one of the most promising
young actresses in Hollywood.
Three
years ago Lilly was discovered by a Ford agent on the streets of
Kelowna, BC, but passed up an offer to sign with the agency. While
acting had been a dream of hers since she was a teenager, she abandoned
the notion for the more aesthetic dream of working in international
relations. Six months later Lilly moved to Vancouver to attend the
University of British Columbia and decided to sign with Ford to
help pay for tuition. After appearing in a few commercials, she
decided to give up acting and focus on studying. A couple of years
later, a friend urged her to give acting another shot and, after
a role in Kingdom Hospital, Lilly caught the acting bug.
Lilly
founded and ran a world development and human rights committee at
her university. She has lived under a grass hut in the jungles of
the Philippines with a missionary group, and has been a volunteer
for children's projects since the age of 14.

"Pilot"
Air Date: 09/22/2004
A man
awakes in a jungle. He is bruised and bloody, and doesn't know where
he is. A yellow Labrador Retriever watches him from the trees, then
suddenly runs off. He forces himself up and winces in pain, leaning
against a tree. He checks his jacket pocket and finds a small bottle
of vodka. Recognition of where he is begins to float across his
face. He winces back the pain and begins to run through the trees,
reaching a beautiful beach.
He
hears sounds — people screaming. He wanders around a bend
and finds what has brought him here — a plane crash, survivors
in shock. A man trapped beneath wreckage. A woman not breathing.
A pregnant woman screaming for help. He runs to help those he can,
and rallies the others to help him. One of these strangers asks
his name: "Jack."
After
the initial shock of the crash has settled a little, Jack digs through
the scattered luggage and finds a sewing kit. He goes off into the
woods to check his own injuries, where he meets a young woman. He
enlists her help in stitching a laceration on his back closed, and
he explains that he is a doctor.
Back
at the crash site, the survivors do their best to make themselves
comfortable. Sayid introduces himself to Charlie, and gets Charlie
to help build a bonfire, for the rescuers to see. Hurley gathers
together the food from the plane, and distributes it amongst the
survivors. Michael checks on the welfare of his son, Walt. And Jack
has returned to the beach with his new friend, Kate. Jack explains
to her that if they can find the front of the plane, they may be
able to radio for help with a transceiver. Kate says she saw smoke
coming from the jungle — and tells Jack if he's going to look
for it, she's coming with him. Just as Jack is about to argue, the
group hears a sound from inside the trees — a loud, terrifying,
monstrous howl that goes on and on. The tops of the trees shake,
and eventually whatever is making the sound goes away, leaving the
survivors marooned, exhausted — and now terrified.
The
next day, Jack and Kate tell the survivors that they are going to
look for the rest of the fuselage. Charlie invites himself along
for the trip, and the three head off. On the way, Kate realizes
that she knows Charlie from somewhere, but can't place him. Charlie
gleefully announces that he's the bassist for Drive Shaft, which
pleases Kate. As the trio works their way across a valley and re-enters
the jungle, the sky darkens, and a rainstorm strikes from out of
nowhere. Back at the crash site, everyone rushes for cover as the
strange sounds from the jungle begin again.
Jack,
Kate and Charlie find the wreckage in the jungle. They see no signs
of survivors as they climb up into the fuselage towards the cockpit.
After breaking their way in, they find the Pilot still strapped
to his seat. As Kate and Jack search for the fuselage, the seemingly-dead
Pilot wakes up. After they give him some water, they tell the pilot
"at least 48" of the passengers have survived, and it's
been sixteen hours since the crash. The Pilot then tells them they
lost their radio six hours into the flight, and couldn't be seen
by anyone. They turned around to head to Fiji, and by the time they
hit turbulence and crashed, they were a thousand miles off-course.
The rescuers are looking in the wrong place.
The
Pilot shows them where the transceiver is kept, and as he tries
to get it to work, and Kate finds Charlie in the bathroom for some
reason, the strange sounds are heard again — this time just
outside the fuselage. They try to catch a glimpse of whatever is
making the sound through the cockpit windows, and when the Pilot
crawls out to take a look, he is snatched up by the mysterious force.
The fuselage is then knocked to the ground, and Charlie, Jack and
Kate try and make a run for it.
The
three survivors run for their lives, with whatever-it-is hot on
their heels. Charlie falls, and when Jack goes back to help him,
Kate finds herself alone in the jungle, terrified. Charlie comes
upon her suddenly, and the rain stops just as quickly as it began.
They go back looking for Jack, and find him a little ways back,
along with the body of the Pilot — hanging from the top of
a tree above them. They stand there, wondering what could do something
like that.
"Pilot, Part 2"
Air Date: 09/29/2004
Shannon
has found her belongings and retrieved a bikini to take advantage
of the sun. Boone arrives to tell her that he and the other survivors
are going through the wreckage and salvaging everything they can.
She makes it clear that she has no intention of helping. What's
the point, they're going to be rescued any minute, right?
Jin
wades through the tide pools gathering sea urchin. Sun is watching
from the beach when Michael arrives to ask her if she has seen his
son, Walt. Jin overhears the conversation and chastises Sun for
having the top button of her sweater open.
While
searching the woods for Vincent, Walt stumbles across something
lying on the ground. Michael catches up with him and scolds him
for running off without telling him. Michael shows his father what
he found — a pair of handcuffs.
And
as we're wondering where those cuffs came from, we catch up with
Jack, Kate and Charlie who appear to have escaped…whatever
was chasing them. Kate asks Charlie what he was doing in the bathroom
of the cockpit. Charlie confesses he was throwing up, but we soon
learn this isn't true. Charlie left something in the airplane bathroom
just before the crash. Something he was desperate to get back.
Back
at the beach Sawyer and Sayid are in the middle of a brawl and it's
all Jack and the others can do to break them up. Sawyer is convinced
that Sayid is a terrorist and responsible for the crash. But when
Kate asks if anyone can fix the transceiver, Sayid is the only one
who is able to help. How? He was a military communications officer.
Sayid goes off to fix the transceiver as Jack is called to tend
to a horribly injured survivor who needs an operation to remove
the piece of wreckage from his abdomen.
Hurley
learns that Sayid saw action in the Gulf War. Not in the Air Force
or Marines, but The Republican Guard! He gets the transceiver working,
but can't get a signal. He tells Kate he has an idea — If
they can climb that mountain they might get a signal at high ground.
Elsewhere,
Boone lays into Shannon for being incredibly selfish. She lashes
back at him and tells her brother that she is going on the hike
to find high ground with the others. Knowing she won't change her
mind, Boone goes along to look after his sister. Charlie and Sawyer
decide to join the group at the last minute.
As
the Signal Party climbs the steep slopes of the mountain, Jack asks
Hurley to search the luggage for antibiotics while he looks for
a blade he can use to operate. Along the way Jack runs into Michael
and tells him he saw Vincent in the jungle earlier.
Walt,
wandering alone, without his dog, comes upon Locke placing the pieces
on his backgammon board. Walt's curiosity gets the best of him.
After teaching Walt the history of backgammon, Locke asks Walt a
very creepy question: "Do you want to know a secret?"
Jin,
who has been handing out the sea urchin he caught, finds Claire
sitting alone writing in her. Soon after swallowing the food she
feels her baby kick for the first time since the crash. In the joyful
realization, Claire admits that she thinks of the baby as a "He."
Meanwhile
the Signal Party is walking through a new stretch of jungle. Just
as Sayid and Sawyer are about to go at each other again, they discover
that they have bigger problems. Something big is out there and it's
coming their way. They all turn to run; all except Sawyer that is
who pulls a gun out of his belt and fires at the charging animal
until it falls dead at his feet. We get our first good look at what
came at them. But there must be some mistake. We're on a tropical
island…and that's a polar bear!
Jack
begins his operation to remove the piece of metal from the belly
of the survivor. Hurley tries to help but faints at the first sight
of blood.
Back
in the jungle, Sawyer explains that he got the gun off on one of
the bodies. And guess what, he took the guy's badge too. There was
a US Marshall on the plane and that would suggest a prisoner was
being transported. But who was it? As Kate takes the gun apart and
divides the pieces among the group we get to see her memory of the
crash. And in the process we learn that Kate is keeping quite a
secret herself.
In
the middle of his primitive surgery, Jack's patient regains consciousness.
He is consumed by one question: "Where is she?"
At
high ground, the group is finally able to get a signal, but they
can't transmit because something else is already transmitting. It's
difficult to hear, but…it sounds French. It's a distress signal
that has been playing over and over for a very long time. Shannon
spent a year "studying" in France and is called upon to
translate. But what they learn is more terrifying than anything
they could have imagined…
"Tabula
Rasa"
Air Date: 10/06/2004
In
a makeshift infirmary tent, Jack is tending to the Marshal who mutters
the same thing over and over through his pain: "Don't trust
her…She's dangerous." When Jack asks him who "She"
is, the Marshal tells him to look in his Jacket pocket. What he
finds there will change things on the island forever. It's a mug
shot…of Kate!
The
Signal Party is working their way back down the mountain. It's getting
dark and some of them want to make camp for the night. Sawyer wants
to press on through the jungle at night, but anyone who has seen
the last two episodes knows that isn't a very good idea and he is
convinced to stay. Sitting around the fire, they discuss what they
should tell the others about the French transmission. That information
hasn't exactly done a lot for their peace of mind, so in the end
they decide not to tell the others anything in order to preserve
hope. At least for now…
And
speaking of hope, back in the tent Jack is using a great deal of
it trying to save the Marshall. Hurley enters, stumbles across Kate's
mug shot and asks the question we all want answered: "What
do you think she did?" — off which we FLASHBACK TO:
Kate,
being prodded by a shotgun held by a farmer (Ray) who wants to know
what she is doing sleeping in his barn. After a frank exchange,
the two find that they can be of service to each other. He needs
some help on the farm, she needs a job and a place to stay. She
says her name is "Annie."
Back
at the Signal Party, Boone lifts the gun from Sawyer and the clip
from Sayid as they sleep. They wake up and an argument ensues over
who should have the gun, but they can't agree on a trustworthy candidate
— until they arrive at Kate. She reluctantly agrees to keep
it.
The
next morning, Hurley arrives at the infirmary tent to tell Jack
the Signal Party has returned. Kate pulls Jack aside and says she
has something she wants to tell him…in private. Jack is relieved,
assuming that she is going to confide in him. But when they get
down to it, Kate tells Jack about the French transmission. He asks
if there is anything else she'd like to tell him. She asks if the
Marshal has regained consciousness. When Jack tells her he did briefly
during the surgery, Kate asks if he said anything to Jack. Jack
considers the question for a moment before answering, "No."
The
Marshal has taken a turn for the worse. If they don't find some
stronger antibiotics, he's not going to make it. Hurley tells him
he's looked everywhere…except the fuselage — but that's
full of bodies "and they're all…dead."
Jack
enters the wreckage and does his best to avoid disturbing the bodies
as he makes a desperate search for anything that will help the Marshal.
Hearing something rustling behind him, he finds Sawyer combing the
fuselage for a different reason — turns out he's doing a little
personal shopping. Jack berates him for disrespecting the dead,
but Sawyer tells Jack to get with the program. Jack still thinks
they are back in civilization while Sawyer realizes they are "in
the wild."
At
one end of the beach, Charlie is helping Claire collect luggage
using a wheelchair from the plane and they begin to form a bond.
Meanwhile, Sun presents a suitcase to Jin, but after closer inspection
Jin determines it is the wrong one and tells Sun to keep looking.
But before she does, he tells her to go and clean up her face, she
is embarrassing him. As she turns leave, he tells her he loves her.
And the strange thing is that he appears to mean it.
Hurley
bumps into Kate at the infirmary tent and tries to play it cool
about knowing her secret and in the process notices the gun in her
waistband. He is not a smooth liar. And off the gun we FLAHBACK
to:
Kate,
who decides it's time to move on from the Australian farm. But when
she accepts a ride from Ray to the train station, she learns that
he is planning on turning her in to the authorities. He saw her
picture at the post office and he really needs that reward money.
Kate looks in the side mirror to see the Marshal, hot on her heels.
In a desperate attempt to get away, Kate jerks the wheel and crashes
the truck off the road. Saving the farmer from the truck costs her
a chance to escape and she is captured by the Marshal.
Back
in real time, while leaning over her body, the Marshal wakes up
and lunges at Kate's throat, choking her. Jack has to pull him off
of her before it's too late.
Michael
struggles to forge bond with Walt — wants to know what the
bald told him yesterday. Walt says it's a secret, but when Michael
presses the issue, Walt reveals that Locke told him "a miracle
happened." Michael wants him to stay away from Locke.
When
the rain stops, Michael searches for the dog in jungle. He hears
something in the tall grass; something dangerous. He runs as fast
as he can to get away from it and runs smack into Sun, who is topless
and washing herself. There is an awkward moment between them.
Back
on the beach, the Marshal is dying. Loudly. His screams are taking
a physical toll on the rest of the group. Sayid asks Jack if anything
can be done. Jack says he is doing all he can. The Marshal tells
Jack he wants to speak to Kate…alone. While she is in the
tent, Hurley tells Jack about the gun he saw in her pants. Jack
races back to the infirmary tent before it's too late… "BANG!"
Out
of the tent walks…Sawyer! He did what had to be done —what
Jack couldn't do. Horrible groans come from the tent again. We go
in to find that the Marshal still isn't dead — Sawyer shot
him in the chest! He was aiming for the heart, but he missed! It
will take hours for him to bleed out and he will suffer horribly.
Jack throws an extremely shaken Sawyer out of the tent. And a few
moments later…the moans stop for good. Jack emerges and walks
past Sawyer without a word.
