The Kiss

Episode 2x11, The Hunting Party - Flashback 4
Jack is in the hospital locker room, dressed in scrubs, banging and hitting the lockers. His father comes in and yells his name.

"I had it!" Jack says. He had gotten all of the tumor.

"He was a sick old man," Christian says, "on the table for seven and half hours. His heart gave out, it's nobody's fault."

"I've got to go tell her," Jack says.

"Yeah, well, I've already done that," Christian says and Jack gives him an angry look. "Lest you forget I am still chief of surgery."

"Where is she?" Jack demands to know, but Christian tells him to go home. He asks again and Christian says that she has gone home.

Jack walks to his car in the parking lot and Gabriela gets out of a nearby car. "Gabriela, my father told me that you'd gone."

She thanks him for trying and then begins to cry. He hugs her and tells her he is sorry. They kiss. First Jack is into the kiss, then he pulls away and says he can't. He walks away.

Sarah Leaving

Episode 2x11, The Hunting Party - Flashback 4
Jack arrives home to find Sarah clearing dishes off the table. She asks how the surgery went and Jack says the patient died. She is sorry.

Jack asks who was over and Sarah says her mom. She goes to the sink to wash dishes, and he dries. Sarah wants to know how the daughter took it.

Jack says, "She kissed me. Yeah, she kissed me and I kissed her back. I, I don't know. I don't know how it happened. I made a mistake. I made a mistake and this is my fault. It's my fault that you and me...I haven't been here. Sarah, I mean, we don't even talk anymore. I hate what's happening to us and I promise you that things are going to be different. I'm going to, I'm going to work less. I'm going to be here for you. Okay? I'm going to fix this. We're going to go back to the way things were. I'm going to fix this. I'm going to fix this."

Jack hugs Sarah and she cries, but doesn't hug him back. "Jack, I'm leaving you."

She explains that she was already leaving him before this. That's why her mother was there, to help her pack. "I've been seeing someone," she says.

"Sarah," Jack says.

"You will always need something to fix. Goodbye."

Spying Jack

Episode 3x1, A Tale of Two Cities - Flashback 1
Jack sits in his car in front of a school where children play. He sees Sarah come out and get very close to a man.

Who is He?

Episode 3x1, A Tale of Two Cities - Flashback 2
Jack goes into a big building. Sarah asks where his lawyer is. He says he fired his lawyer. He begins to apologize to Sarah, but her phone rings and she walks a short distance and answers it. She says that he just got there and then gives a little giggle.

She sits on the couch next to Jack and says, "I'll try to say this as simply as I can--"

"What's his name?"

"Jack, stop."

Jack presses, even though she continues to ask him to stop. He says she can have everything, the house, the cars, he just wants to know the name of the man who's with his wife.

She gets up and walks away.

Let It Go, Jack

Episode 3x1, A Tale of Two Cities - Flashback 3
Jack is on the phone in his office. He says, "I met a woman on the train, Sarah, and she dropped her cell phone, and I don't even know her last name, but your number was in her phone."

Christian Shephard walks in and looks at the desk. He wants to know why Jack is dialing all the numbers in Sarah's cell phone.

"Because one of them is him."

Christian hangs up the phone. "You've got to stop this, Jack."

Jack dials again. "Not until I know his name, where he works, where he lives, where they first kissed, I want to know what it is about him--"

Christian's cell phone rings and he opens it. Christian looks caught and Jack looks at him, hanging up the phone. "Why is Sarah calling you, Dad?"

"I think it's time that you let this go."

"Why is she calling?"

"Because she was afraid, for you."

Jack yells, "I want to know, exactly, why the hell she would call you."

"She could see that you were slipping, that you were losing your grip!"

Jack says his grip is not the problem and Christian says that he knows a little something about being obsessive. Jack says that being a drunk is not being obsessive. Christian nods and walks out. He turns at the door and says, "Let it go, Jack."
