Hero
Episode 3x22, Through the Looking Glass - Flash Forward 2A doctor stitches a cut on Jack's head. She says that the news people are waiting outside, him being a hero and all.
Jack looks annoyed. He asks about the woman.
"She's been stabilized. Thank God you were on that bridge."
Sarah walks in and the doctor says, "Sorry, no visitors in the ER."
"It's okay," Jack says. "We used to be married."
She asks what happened and Jack says it was a car accident. She asks if he's okay and he says he is. Then she asks if he's drinking again and he says no. She asks again and he again says no. He asks why she came there.
"I'm still listed as your emergency contact. What were you doing driving around at two o'clock in the morning?"
"You think maybe you could give me a lift home?"
"I don't think that would be appropriate."
"Well, thanks for coming down, Sarah."
"Goodbye, Jack," she whispers. She takes her hand off of her pregnant belly and walks out.

Episode 3x22, Through the Looking Glass - Flash Forward 3Jack stands in front of a patient, looking at a chart. His hand shakes. He pulls a pill bottle from his white coat and takes some pills.
A doctor walks in and says, "Can I help you?"
"Just checking her chart."
"I'm sorry, I'm Doctor Hamill, Rob, the new Chief of Surgery. I don't believe we've met yet."
"Jack Shephard."
"Jack Shephard, the hero, twice over." He extends his hand and Jack shakes it. "You all right? After last night I'm surprised you'd even want to come in. Talk about right place, right time, huh? This woman is very lucky you were there."
"If she was lucky she wouldn't have a fractured back that was impinging upon her spinal cord," Jack says. "I'd like to operate first thing in the morning." He puts her x-ray up on the screen.
"You want to operate?" Dr. Hamill says.
"Yes."
"I'm sorry, Jack, but this isn't your patient. And we are well aware of the issues. Gary Nadler is doing the surgery at 6 a.m."
"With all do respect, Dr. Hamill, I'd rather do it myself."
"Jack, last night you pulled this woman's eight year old son out of a flaming car and then you went back for her. I think you've done enough."
"I want to do the surgery."
"Look, everything's under control here. She'll be fine." He retrieves the x-ray. "Go home. Have a drink. You deserve it." Jack doesn't move and he says, "The chart please, Jack."
Jack looks at the woman, then hands him the chart. "You call me. I want to know what happens." He walks out and into the waiting room. On the TV is news about the car crash. A little boy waves at Jack.

Episode 3x22, Through the Looking Glass - Flash Forward 4Listening to loud music, Jack drives down the road. He pulls the newspaper from his pocket and looks at it again. He pulls to the side of the road and calls someone on his cell. He gets out and walks across the street, not bothering to wait for traffic.
He goes into a funeral home and sees a casket and empty chairs.
A man walks in with flowers. "Can I help you?"
"I'm sorry, I uh...Is the funeral over?"
"There was no funeral, sir, only a viewing. No one showed up."
"Nobody?"
"Nobody. Just you. My deepest condolences. Friend or family?"
"Neither."
"Would you like me to open it up?"
"No."
"Take your time." He walks out.
Jack walks to the casket and puts his hand on it. He opens his pill bottle and there is only one pill left. He swallows it and walks out.
Prescription
Episode 3x22, Through the Looking Glass - Flash Forward 5Jack is at the prescription counter with several people in line behind him.
"I'm sorry, sir, there are no more refills left on this prescription."
Jack stares at her. "That's a mistake, I've only refilled it twice. Could you check again?"
"I did check it again, Dr. Shephard, and that was your third refill. There's nothing I can do."
"Fine," he says. "I've got another prescription right here." He reaches into his pocket.
A man in line says, "Hey, do I know you? You're the hero."
"I'm not a hero."
"Yeah, yeah, we saw it on TV." To the pharmacist he says, "Hey, lady, what's wrong with you? Just give this guy whatever he needs. Do you know what he did?"
"Here, here it is." Jack gives the pharmacist the prescription.
She looks at it. "Dr. Shephard, you can't write a prescription for yourself."
"That's not me. That's Dr. Christian Shephard. I'm Dr. Jack Shephard. He's my father."
"Well, I'm going to have to call your father's office." She picks up the phone.
"He's out of town."
"Well I'm sure someone in the office can--"
Jack hits the counter. "Don't bother." He runs into a display on his way out.
