About this piece

John Locke tries to convince Jack to stay on the island

Summary

The survivors of a plane crash are stranded in a mysterious, remote tropical island in the South Pacific. Among the survivors there is Jack, a doctor, Charlie, a rock star, Sayid, an Iraqi military man, Locke, a mysterious man who used to be paralyzed before the crash but is miraculously cured after the crash and Sawyer, a con man. The series alternates present events with flashbacks of the background stories of the characters. Here we are in the last episode of season 4. A mysterious and shady rescue team that has other plans besides saving the survivors of the crash are on the island. Some people want to be rescued and leave the island, among which there is Jack, and some don't trust the rescue team and decide to stay there. John Locke is one of them. In this scene John Locke confronts Jack and tries to convince him to stay. It's more than an island, he tells him, "it's a place where miracles happen...." and if he leaves he will regret it for the rest of his life.
