FINAL TEMPLE CEREMONY

I was wondering how Jacob's "touched" characters would be reincarnated into a new Jacob from the ghost Jacob. In a speculative, personal opinion thought process, this is how I would write it:

All the main characters would be escorted into the Temple spring. Several would be weary of what is about to happen, but Hurley tells them to do what they ask so the curse that holds them all together could be lifted.

Dogen would be at the steps facing the pillars. He would say loudly, "In the name of Horus, alas spirit enter." He would direct the touched ones into the clear spring water. "Horus, sacred god, father's duties," Dogen would pray as they would line up in the middle of the spring. When they were finally in a line (Sawyer-Kate-Jack (holding up Dead Locke with)-Sayid-Hurley-Sun-Jin).

Dogen would continue. "Horus, enter father's gardens." All the doors behind the Temple pillars would open letting in sunlight into the chamber. "Stand for father's long past ideas of rebirth," Dogen would say as white cloaked men would fill the voids between the pillars, standing behind the main characters who are facing Dogen.

Dogen would take large palm leaf and a silk bag full of gray ash, and begin to fan the dust toward the people in the spring. "Lord father, patron of the Dead, heal for eternities," he would pray.

He would take a knife and cut his hand, letting his blood drip into the spring water.
"Lord father," he would say after 8 drops of blood have hit the water's edge.

Dogen would move to the top step and raise his gaze to the ceiling. "Island Heaven!," he would call out, then making a sacred/magical sign symbol with his bloody hands. "Enter Ra!" he would proclaim.

He would take the palm leaf and the ash bag to a hot charcoal pot sitting on the pedestal that housed the hour glass timer. He would burn the leaf and the bag and proclaim, "Heaven, conspire against evil fires!"

Dogen would then return to the top step of the pool and look deeply into each person's eye. He would raise both hands above his head. And pause. We see a picture of all the touched characters in the pool, watching Dogen's arms drop to his side - - - then, suddenly, gasping expressions from bloody bullet exit wounds from each person's chests - - - and they fall into the water and disappear in a foaming red water. After they have fallen, we can see the cloaked men all had rifles, used to shoot the people in the pool.

Dogen would move to the bottom step and stare intently in the churning red water. He would yell, "Stand Ra!" and make another sacred/magical sign symbol with his hands.

Then a form will begin to rise from the middle of the pool, facing the cloaked men, who will immediately fall to their knees in reverence. The man in the pool stands, then slowly turns toward Dogen. We see Dogen's expression of joy for the return of Jacob to the Temple. Then a gasping stare as the man's face is revealed: Flocke.

In a sneer, Flocke tells Dogen, "He may have been on Jacob's list, but he was on my list, too!"

With that, the Temple begins to quake, slabs of rock begin to fall, the pillars shatter. Then there is a close up of Flocke's evil grin, as he slowly sinks into the bloody spring.

End shot: the Island slowing sinking into the ocean.
