AFTER THE CRASH
Season One
Upon landing on the island, Locke miraculously regains the use of
his legs. He soon bonds with Walt, much to his father's resentment.
When boars invade the camp one night, Locke takes Michael and Kate
with him to hunt them. After Michael becomes injured, Kate takes him
back while Locke continues hunting alone, eventually coming face to
face with the "Monster." Locke then returns with a boar. Locke heads
to the caves with Jack, Kate and Charlie, where he and Charlie
remain behind while the other two recruit people to move in. Locke
discovers Charlie's heroin addiction and decides to help him. He
finds Charlie's guitar, and requests that Charlie give him his
remaining heroin; after asking three times, Locke agreed to finally
return it. Locke is pleased when Charlie throws the heroin in the
fire. Also, Locke follows Sayid into the jungle, and knocks him out
when he attempts to find the source of the looped distress call. He
later places the blame on Sawyer.
Following the abduction of Claire, Locke joins the search party,
along with Jack, Kate and Boone. He and Boone follow a separate
trail, eventually leading them to a hidden hatch in the ground.
Locke and Boone return to the hatch every day, and work out how to
open it. When Boone considers informing Shannon, Locke knocks him
out and induces a hallucination on him in order to help him overcome
his feelings for Shannon. Locke is then at the receiving end of
Michael's fury for allowing Walt to throw knives. Upon Walt running
away, Locke helps Michael rescue him from a polar bear. Locke and
Boone eventually construct a trebuchet, but this has no effect on
the hatch. After receiving a piece of the broken trebuchet in his
leg, Locke begins to lose the use of his legs. After experiencing a
vision that night, he and Boone discover the beech craft wedged atop
a cliff. Upon the plane falling off, Locke regains the use of his
legs once more, and carries a mortally injured Boone back to the
caves. Rather than stick around, Locke returns to the hatch as soon
as he delivers Boone, and begins thumping on the hatch. His faith is
boosted when a bright light shines up through the glass of the door.
Locke arrives on the beach in time for Boone's funeral, much to
Jack's resentment. Locke apologizes to Shannon for the loss of her
brother, promising it to be an accident. However, due to Jack
branding him a liar earlier that day, Shannon doesn't believe him
and, after being let down by Sayid, Shannon holds Locke at gunpoint.
As Sayid disarms her, Locke narrowly dodges the bullet fired from
the gun. Locke takes Sayid to the fallen beech craft, where Boone
fell. Sayid then demands to be taken to the hatch he discovered, but
Locke asks for Jack to be brought along too. After Rousseau arrives
on the beach to warn of the Others' imminent arrival, Locke, Jack,
Kate, Hurley and Arzt are taken to the Black Rock, an abandoned ship
that contains dynamite. Upon Arzt's demise, Locke helps in carrying
the dynamite to the hatch, almost being taken away by the "Monster"
in the process. Upon arriving at the hatch, Locke detonates the
dynamite, blowing open the hatch. He peers inside, along with the
other three.
Season Two
Locke and Kate descend into the hatch against Jack's wishes. When
they encounter Desmond, Locke manages to avoid being tied up by
telling him about Kate's past. He slips Kate a knife as he locks her
in the pantry, while Locke is held at gunpoint upon Jack's arrival.
The three overpower Desmond, and he shows them an orientation video
explaining the hatch's purpose. Desmond flees after the computer is
damaged, but Locke insists that Jack enter the code into the
computer first, after Sayid repairs it. Locke takes pride in this
task during the following days. One day, he encounters Mr. Eko, who
enters the hatch with an injured Sawyer. He shows Eko the
orientation video, prompting him to give Locke the missing footage.
Locke is approached by Michael, who asks him to show him how to use
the guns in the armory. The next day, however, Michael knocks him
out and locks him and Jack in the armory. After being released by
Sawyer, the three follow Michael into the jungle, encountering the
Others instead. In exchange for Kate's safety, Locke and the others
hand over their weapons. Upon returning, Locke advices Paulo to hide
his possessions in a better place than the beach, due to hide tides.
Locke learns that Charlie is using heroin again, and discovers his
secret stash in the jungle. When Charlie steals Aaron from Claire,
Locke punches him in front of his castaways, and returns Aaron to
Claire. The next day, Locke is one of the victims in Sawyer's long
con, through which he gains possession of the remaining weapons and
all of the medicine.
The next day, Locke is asked by Sayid to change the lock code on the
armory door in order to hold "Henry Gale" while he interrogates him.
Upon learning of this, Jack demands Locke open it for him, and
prevents him from entering the computer code until he does. Locke
makes it to the computer, but witnesses the timer reaching zero,
revealing hieroglyphics to appear in the timer's place. Locke
finishes entering the code, and the tremor in the hatch stops. The
timer is restored to it's normal routine. Locke is caught in the
middle of a lockdown in the hatch, and his only available help is
with the hostage, Henry. When Locke has his leg trapped beneath one
of the blast doors, he asks Henry to enter the code into the
computer. As soon as he leaves, the room's light switches to
ultra-violet, revealing a secret map on the back of the blast door.
Upon the hatch returning to normal again, Henry reveals not to have
pressed the button. It is then that Jack, Kate, Sayid, Charlie and
Ana Lucia arrive and reveal Henry as an imposter.
Since then, Locke attempts to draw out the map from memory, failing
several times. His faith in the island and the hatch is broken when
Henry taunts him regarding the hatch's irrelevance, and how he is
merely subordinate to Jack. However, his faith is boosted slightly
during a conversation with Rose on the beach. He manages to finish
drawing the map. Locke is approached by Eko to help him search for
the escaped Henry Gale, after discovering Ana Lucia dead and Libby
and Michael with serious injuries. Locke sees through Eko's lie, to
which he asks Locke to take him to the '?' on his drawn map. The two
return to the beech craft, where Eko reveals its location to be
beneath it. The two move it aside, and descend into the Pearl
station. Upon watching the station's orientation video, Locke
believes that entering the code in the computer is a pointless task,
and refuses to continue pressing the button. To test his theory,
after Desmond returns to the island, he asks him to induce another
lockdown, and locks Eko out of the computer room. Once inside, Locke
smashes the computer when Desmond reveals he may have caused the
plane crash. Eko blows open the blast doors with the dynamite, and
upon finding him, Locke admits to being wrong. The hatch soon
implodes, with the three of them still inside.
Season Three
Locke wakes in the jungle the next day, unable to speak. He builds a
sweat lodge to induce a hallucination, while Charlie waits outside.
After encountering Boone, he is told to clean up his own mess, and
must save Eko. Locke and Charlie head in the jungle, passing the
crater left behind after the implosion. Locke approaches a polar
bear den, and proceeds inside to rescue Eko. Locke and Charlie carry
him back to the beach, to which Locke reveals he will rescue Jack,
Kate and Sawyer. The next day, he leads Desmond, Sayid, Nikki and
Paulo back to the Pearl station, where they rewire the circuits in
the monitors to view surveillance from another hatch. Shortly after,
Locke hears a commotion outside, and discover a dying Eko in the
jungle. He decides to bury him on the spot rather than back on the
beach. Upon placing his stick at the head of the grave, he notices a
particular inscription, instructing him to go north. He allows
Desmond to inform Charlie and Hurley of Eko's death.
When Kate and Sawyer return to the beach, Locke and Sayid follow her
into the jungle in search of Rousseau. The four head north, until
they discover the Flame station. Inside, Locke is drawn to the
computer, where he continually plays a game of chess. Upon winning a
game, he watches the station's orientation video, instructing him to
enter different codes for different situations. As they are about to
leave, with Mikhail as hostage, Locke enters the code that causes
the station to self-destruct. They continue their hike the next day,
eventually coming across sonar panels. Locke pushes Mikhail through
the sonic barrier, killing him. Sayid discovers a pack of C4 in
Locke's bag, which he had taken before destroying the Flame station.
Locke is questioned about his motive for coming along, but dismisses
the matter. The four arrive at the Others' barracks, where they
watch Jack bonding with Tom. That night, Locke barges into Ben's
home, and demands to be taken to the submarine, holding Alex at
gunpoint. Once inside the submarine, Locke rigs it with the C4, and
detonates it. Locke is taken away by Ben and Richard, who lead him
to a room containing Anthony Cooper, tied up and gagged.
Locke is then offered the opportunity to join the Others as they
leave the barracks, to which he accepts. He says goodbye to Kate the
next morning before leaving. As they set up camp in a large
clearing, Locke is approached by Cindy, who tells him that everyone
is excited about him being among them. That night, Ben tells Locke
that he must kill Anthony before he can officially join them. Locke
is unable to do it, and the Others abandon him the next morning,
leaving behind a trail for him to follow should he kill his father.
Before leaving, Richard hints to Locke about finding someone else to
kill him. He returns to the beach and brings Sawyer to the Black
Rock, where he locks him in a room with Anthony. After Sawyer kills
him, Locke gives him Juliet's recorder and tells him she is a spy.
He carries Anthony's body with him to the Others' new pitch. He then
demands Ben take him to see Jacob, much to his resentment, and the
shock of the others. Ben agrees, and takes him to an isolated cabin.
Locke is cautioned not to use his flashlight, but Locke grows
impatient and uses it, causing Jacob to erupt in anger, sending
objects flying across the room. The next day, Ben takes Locke to a
pit full of long-deceased DHARMA members. He is then shot and thrown
into the pit, and left to die. Locke contemplates suicide, but his
faith is again restored upon seeing Walt. He makes his way to the
radio tower and kills Naomi by throwing a knife into her neck, and
begs Jack not to contact her freighter, and threatens to shoot him
dead if he doesen't put the radio down. Jack refuses and Locke is
unable to kill Jack and tells Jack he wasn't meant to do this and
walks away shaking his head, disappointed with Jack's decision
