Lost s05e01 Episode Script
Because You Left
Previously on Lost Ladies and gentlemen, the survivors of Oceanic 8-1-5.
I just killed a man who's been perched outside this facility for the last week.
I want you to come with me somewhere safe.
You and I have common interests.
We're not the only ones who left the island.
We were not supposed to leave.
- Bye, Jack.
- We have to go back, Kate.
Hello, Jack.
Did he tell you I was off the island? Yes, he did.
He said that I had to come back.
We're gonna have to bring him, too.
Baby's awake.
It's your turn.
- Morning.
Here you go, Doc.
- I don't need a script.
Let's go.
I don't have all day.
- Speed.
- Okay.
Dharma orientation film number two, take one.
And Action.
I'm Dr.
Marvin Candle, and this is the orientation film for station two, the arrow.
Given your specific area of expertise, you should find it no surprise that this station's primary purpose is to develop defensive strategies and gather intelligence on the island's hostile indigenous population Damn it! What the hell? Sir, we got a problem down at the orchid.
Over here.
We were cutting through the rock, right on your specs.
That's when the drill melted.
- The drill melted? - Yeah, yeah.
on the plans.
We went through six carbon drill bits, and the last one just fried.
Then my operator starts grabbing his head and freaking out.
We sonar-imaged the wall.
There's an open chamber about 20 meters in, behind the rock.
There's something in there.
And the only way to get to it is to lay charges here and here, - blast through it and - Under no circumstances.
This station is being built here because of its proximity to what we believe to be an almost limitless energy.
And that energy, once we can harness it correctly, it's going to allow us to manipulate time.
Right.
Okay, so what? - We're gonna go back and kill Hitler? - Don't be absurd.
There are rules, rules that can't be broken.
So what do you want me to do? You're gonna do nothing.
If you drill even 1 centimeter further, you risk releasing that energy.
If that were to happen, God help us all.
All right, get him up.
Let's go.
- Watch yourself! - Sorry, sir.
It won't happen again.
I'll grab the rest of his stuff.
Let's go.
Did you hear that? Time travel.
How stupid does that guy think we are? Why don't you close that up now, Jack? Come on.
Let's get him in the van.
It's out back.
Where are we taking him? We'll worry about that once we pick up Hugo.
Hurley is locked away in a mental institution.
Which should make recruiting him easier than the rest of your friends.
They're not my friends anymore.
Oh, that's the spirit.
How did we get here? How did all this happen? It happened because you left, Jack.
Now let's get started, shall we? So once we get Hurley Then what? Then we get Sun, Sayid And Kate, of course.
I don't see that happening.
When was the last time you saw him? I mean, Locke.
On the island in the orchid station, below the greenhouse.
I told him I was sorry for making his life so miserable, and then he left.
So obviously John's visit to you made an impression.
What did he say to make you such a believer? Sawyer, Juliet, everyone from the boat and everyone we left behind John said that they'd die, too, if I didn't come back.
Did he tell you what happened to them after the island moved? No, he didn't.
Then I guess we'll never know.
What the Anyone? What happened? What was that light? We must've been inside the radius.
What the hell was that? I don't know.
Where's the freighter? - Maybe it went down.
- No way.
A minute ago, that boat was coughing black smoke.
Now there's just nothing'? What about the helicopter? It was heading for that boat.
Rose! - Have you seen rose?! - No.
Oh, my God! - Where were you? - I was over by the church.
- What was that sound? And that light? - I don't know.
Just calm down.
There's no need to panic.
- We just go back to camp - "Calm down"? "No need to panic"? We can't go back to the camp.
- What the hell are you talking about? - There is no camp.
The sky lit up, and then this.
See the kitchen? Gone.
And all the tents, all the food and water Gone.
Well, everything but us.
All of it.
It's gone.
It's not gone.
- I thought you were on the freighter.
- We never made it.
We were on our way when it happened.
What do you mean, the camp's not gone? - Who the hell are you anyway? - That's Dan.
He's our physicist.
Listen, we have no time.
I need you to take me to something man-made, something that was built, any kind of a landmark.
There's a Dharma station You mean the hatch? The one we blew up? That's perfect.
We should get moving before it happens again, okay? Before what happens again? And why is our camp gone? Your camp isn't gone.
It hasn't been built yet.
Choo Choo! Tunnel! Oh, I think Choo Choo knows better than that.
He goes into that tunnel, he's never coming back out.
Watch your cartoons, goober.
Mommy'll be right back.
Ms.
Austen? Hi, I'm Dan Norton of the law firm Agostoni & Norton.
May we have a moment of your time? - And who are you? - He's my associate.
If I could come in, I'll be glad to explain You can explain right here.
Okay, you got it.
Ms.
Austen, we're here to get a blood sample from you and one from your son Aaron.
Excuse me? Now I have a court order signed by a judge for you to relinquish your blood upon being served these papers To determine your relationship to the child.
I'm sorry.
I don't understand.
Who's the I'm not at liberty to divulge the identity of my client.
- Your client? - Please, may we come in? Get off my property.
If you won't comply, I'm going to have to come back with the sheriff.
Then come back with the sheriff.
Where you going, mommy? We're going on vacation, baby.
Say bye-bye, baby.
Why did you jump off that helicopter? I told you.
We were running' out of gas.
I wanted to make sure she I wanted to make sure they got back to the boat.
Don't matter now anyway, does it? Excuse me.
I really need the two of you to pick up the pace.
Okay? Thanks.
First things first.
Give me your shirt.
My shirt? I really think we have far more pressing matters than me giving you a shirt.
Just keep moving, okay? How about we call a time-out so you can tell us what's going on? - How about you trust me? - I don't know you! We really do not have time for me to try to explain.
You have no idea how difficult that would be for me to try to explain this phenomenon to a quantum physicist.
That would be difficult, so for me to try to explain what is happening - What do you think you're doing? - Shut it, or you're getting one too.
Now talk.
The island Think of the island like a record spinning on a turntable Only now that record is skipping.
Whatever Ben Linus did down at the orchid station I think it may have dislodged us.
Dislodged us from what? Time.
So that's why our camp is gone? Because the island is moving through time? Yeah, either the island is, or we are.
What? And it's just as likely that we're moving, your people and us.
And everyone in your group You're all accounted for, right? Not everyone.
Locke.
Is anyone there? Who are you? - Well, listen, listen - How many others on board? You don't understand.
I didn't come on that plane.
- Wrong answer.
- No, wait! Stop! Stop! I know you.
I know who you are.
Your name Your name is Ethan.
Your name is Ethan.
Who are you? My name is John Locke.
I know this is gonna be hard to understand, but Ben Linus appointed me as your leader.
That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Good bye, John Locke.
Great.
So when are we now, whiz kid? We're either in the past Or we're in the future.
Flight 23 to Paris will begin boarding at gate 15.
Please have your boarding passes ready.
Evening, ma'am.
Where you flying to tonight? - Los Angeles.
- Of course.
May I see your passport, please? Excuse me.
Could you wait here for just one moment, Ms.
Kwon? Where are you going? Open this door.
- Open this door! - Save your breath.
They only do what I tell them to do.
You? You had me brought in here? Why? You had the audacity to approach me in broad daylight in front of my business associates In public.
Why don't I have you brought here? Because you showed me no respect.
I will be respected, Sun.
Fair enough.
Since you seem to be worried about your plane, I'll get right down to business.
You mentioned that you and I had Common interests.
Why don't you tell me exactly what they might be? To kill Benjamin Linus.
The victim was found shot in his car on the grounds of the Santa Rosa hospital, a private mental health care facility outside Los Angeles Okay.
Let's go get him.
Police have now identified their suspect in the shooting as a patient at the hospital who escaped earlier this evening.
Hugo Reyes.
Now if that name sounds familiar to you, that's because Reyes was a member of the infamous Oceanic Six.
As to why he may have murdered a visitor to the facility where Reyes lived for 2 years, that remains a complete mystery.
Well Looks like we have a change of plan.
Here she comes, right now.
Here's your order, sir.
- Keep the change.
- Thank you.
Awesome.
You want a fry? Maybe if you ate more comfort food, you wouldn't have to go around shooting people.
So that dude you popped outside Santa Rosa, who was he? I don't care.
He was armed and he was watching you.
That made him an enemy.
Do you think he was gonna kill me? I'm not taking any risks after Bentham died - You mean Locke.
- Yes, I mean Locke.
I need a cool code name.
So when'd you become so paranoid? If you'd spent the last two years doing the things I was doing, you'd be paranoid, too.
Oh, yeah? Paranoid like what? What kind of things? I was working for Benjamin Linus.
Wait.
He's on our side now? Listen to me, Hurley.
If you ever have the misfortune of running into him, whatever he tells you, just do the opposite.
Wait here.
- Is he all right? - I don't know.
- Is he breathing or what? - Who is that? Check him out.
Look out! That guy's got a gun! Run! Get out of here! Call the cops! Hurry! You okay? Get me to the car.
Dude.
Dude.
Oh, man.
I thought it was supposed to be a safe house.
I never should've left the island.
- Do you think he's looking for us? - Who? Widmore.
It took him, like, 20 years to find this place the first time.
I'll start holding my breath now.
Over here! - Is this the hatch? - It was.
Blown up, just like we left it.
Okay.
So when we are now It's now after you and your people crashed on the island.
You saying our camp's back on the beach again? - It's possible, yeah.
- Good.
I'm going back.
- It's pointless.
- More than staring at a hole? The next flash could come anytime.
By the time you get there, the camp could be gone.
Yeah, but what if it ain't? What if the helicopter hasn't even taken off yet? We could warn them, stop them from ever flying to that boat.
- That's not the way it works.
- Who says? You cannot change anything.
You can't.
Even if you tried to, it wouldn't work, Why not? Time it's like a street, all right? We can move forward on that street, we can move in reverse, but we cannot ever create a new street.
If we try to do anything different, we will fail every time.
Whatever happened, happened.
How do you know so much about this, Danny boy? I know about this Because I've spent my entire adult life studying space-time.
I know all this because this journal contains everything I've ever learned about the Dharma Initiative.
This is why I'm here.
I know what's happening.
So how can we stop it? We can't stop it.
Then who can? Richard? Hey, John.
Richard What's happening? What's happening is that you're bleeding to death.
Here.
I need to get the bullet out.
How did you know there was a bullet in my leg? Because you told me there was.
No, I didn't.
Well You will.
It was Ethan who shot me.
Well What comes around, goes around.
When am I? Well, John, that That's all relative.
Wait a minute.
The noise, when the sky lit up Where did you go? I didn't go anywhere, John.
You went.
All right, this is gonna hurt.
It'll be a lot worse if you move, okay? Hold still.
All done.
Jeez.
I don't understand.
How did you know that I was here? - How did you know where to find me? - I wish I had time to explain it, but you're gonna be moving on soon, and we need to go over - a couple of things before you do.
- Moving on? Sorry.
The first thing, okay? You need to clean out the wound every couple of hours and keep as much weight off the leg as you can.
- The island'll do the rest.
- But I don't Second thing.
No, pay attention.
Next time we see each other, I'm not gonna recognize you.
You give me this.
- All right? - What is this? - It's a compass.
- What does it do? It points north, John.
I wish I had time to be more sensitive about this because it's a lot to swallow, but you need to know it in order to do what you gotta do, so I'm just gonna say it.
The only way to save the island, is to get your people back here.
The ones who left.
The chopper was headed for the boat.
It No, they're fine, and they're already home.
So you have to convince them to come back.
How am I supposed to do that? You're gonna have to die, John.
So What was this thing before you guys blew it up? - A Dharma Station.
- For what? There was a man named Desmond living down in it.
He was pushing a button every - Really? - Yeah.
Really.
Son of a Bitch.
The hatch it's back.
I guess you haven't found it yet.
Hey! Where you going? Back door.
I'm getting some supplies.
James, wait.
Not a good idea.
The sky can flash all it wants, but I ain't starting over, Dilbert.
I ain't rubbing 2 sticks together, start a fire and hunting damn boar! There's Dharma food, beer and clothing in there.
And I'm getting Desmond to let me in one way or another.
- It won't work.
- Why not? Because Desmond didn't know you when he first came out of there.
That means you've never met, which means you can't meet.
This would all be fascinating if I was listening to you.
So how you do know Desmond is even in there? - Think about it.
It could be anybody.
- I don't care who's in there.
Wait.
- Open the damn door! - It won't work.
Sure it will.
Yo, open up! It's the ghost of Christmas future! - No one is gonna answer.
- Open the damn door! Open the door! - You're wasting your time.
- Open up! I know you can hear me! If it didn't happen, it can't happen.
- Open the door! - You can't change the past, James! Everybody I care about just blew up on your damn boat.
I know what I can't change.
We should get back to the beach.
It's been a long day.
Why are we going back to the beach if there's nothing to go back to? So stay here.
That chick likes me.
What? - What? What's the matter? - You I haven't had a nosebleed since I was little.
- Dan, I'm fine.
- Yeah.
No, you're Of course you're fine.
I'm You know, the sight of blood is Yeah, well, it's a good thing you're a physicist then.
Shall we? My pack.
Of course, I left my pack back at the hatch crater.
I better get it.
Why don't you head back with everyone else? I'll be right behind you.
- Don't dillydally.
- I wouldn't think of it.
Please let this work.
Please let this work.
Please, please, let this work.
Don't shoot.
Then you'd best explain why you've been banging on my door for the last 20 minutes, brother.
- Are you him? - Him? - Who? - My replacement.
No, I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm not.
Do I know you? In a way.
But listen, that's not important.
What is important, Desmond, is what I'm about to say to you.
I need you to listen.
You're the only person who can help us because, Desmond, The rules don't apply to you.
You're special.
You're uniquely - and miraculously special.
- What are you talking about? Okay, listen to me.
Listen! If the helicopter somehow made it off the island, if you got home - What are you talking about? - I need you to listen, or people are gonna die.
My name is Daniel Faraday, and right now, me and everyone else you left behind, we're in serious danger.
You're the only person who can help us.
I need you to go back to Oxford university.
Go back to where we met.
Go there and find my mother.
Her name Are you all right? I was on the island.
I was on the island.
You've been off the island for three years now.
You're safe now.
It was just a dream.
It wasn't a dream, Pen.
It was a memory.
Desmond, where are you going? What are you doing? - We're leaving.
- Leaving to go where? Oxford.
I just killed a man who's been perched outside this facility for the last week.
I want you to come with me somewhere safe.
You and I have common interests.
We're not the only ones who left the island.
We were not supposed to leave.
- Bye, Jack.
- We have to go back, Kate.
Hello, Jack.
Did he tell you I was off the island? Yes, he did.
He said that I had to come back.
We're gonna have to bring him, too.
Baby's awake.
It's your turn.
- Morning.
Here you go, Doc.
- I don't need a script.
Let's go.
I don't have all day.
- Speed.
- Okay.
Dharma orientation film number two, take one.
And Action.
I'm Dr.
Marvin Candle, and this is the orientation film for station two, the arrow.
Given your specific area of expertise, you should find it no surprise that this station's primary purpose is to develop defensive strategies and gather intelligence on the island's hostile indigenous population Damn it! What the hell? Sir, we got a problem down at the orchid.
Over here.
We were cutting through the rock, right on your specs.
That's when the drill melted.
- The drill melted? - Yeah, yeah.
on the plans.
We went through six carbon drill bits, and the last one just fried.
Then my operator starts grabbing his head and freaking out.
We sonar-imaged the wall.
There's an open chamber about 20 meters in, behind the rock.
There's something in there.
And the only way to get to it is to lay charges here and here, - blast through it and - Under no circumstances.
This station is being built here because of its proximity to what we believe to be an almost limitless energy.
And that energy, once we can harness it correctly, it's going to allow us to manipulate time.
Right.
Okay, so what? - We're gonna go back and kill Hitler? - Don't be absurd.
There are rules, rules that can't be broken.
So what do you want me to do? You're gonna do nothing.
If you drill even 1 centimeter further, you risk releasing that energy.
If that were to happen, God help us all.
All right, get him up.
Let's go.
- Watch yourself! - Sorry, sir.
It won't happen again.
I'll grab the rest of his stuff.
Let's go.
Did you hear that? Time travel.
How stupid does that guy think we are? Why don't you close that up now, Jack? Come on.
Let's get him in the van.
It's out back.
Where are we taking him? We'll worry about that once we pick up Hugo.
Hurley is locked away in a mental institution.
Which should make recruiting him easier than the rest of your friends.
They're not my friends anymore.
Oh, that's the spirit.
How did we get here? How did all this happen? It happened because you left, Jack.
Now let's get started, shall we? So once we get Hurley Then what? Then we get Sun, Sayid And Kate, of course.
I don't see that happening.
When was the last time you saw him? I mean, Locke.
On the island in the orchid station, below the greenhouse.
I told him I was sorry for making his life so miserable, and then he left.
So obviously John's visit to you made an impression.
What did he say to make you such a believer? Sawyer, Juliet, everyone from the boat and everyone we left behind John said that they'd die, too, if I didn't come back.
Did he tell you what happened to them after the island moved? No, he didn't.
Then I guess we'll never know.
What the Anyone? What happened? What was that light? We must've been inside the radius.
What the hell was that? I don't know.
Where's the freighter? - Maybe it went down.
- No way.
A minute ago, that boat was coughing black smoke.
Now there's just nothing'? What about the helicopter? It was heading for that boat.
Rose! - Have you seen rose?! - No.
Oh, my God! - Where were you? - I was over by the church.
- What was that sound? And that light? - I don't know.
Just calm down.
There's no need to panic.
- We just go back to camp - "Calm down"? "No need to panic"? We can't go back to the camp.
- What the hell are you talking about? - There is no camp.
The sky lit up, and then this.
See the kitchen? Gone.
And all the tents, all the food and water Gone.
Well, everything but us.
All of it.
It's gone.
It's not gone.
- I thought you were on the freighter.
- We never made it.
We were on our way when it happened.
What do you mean, the camp's not gone? - Who the hell are you anyway? - That's Dan.
He's our physicist.
Listen, we have no time.
I need you to take me to something man-made, something that was built, any kind of a landmark.
There's a Dharma station You mean the hatch? The one we blew up? That's perfect.
We should get moving before it happens again, okay? Before what happens again? And why is our camp gone? Your camp isn't gone.
It hasn't been built yet.
Choo Choo! Tunnel! Oh, I think Choo Choo knows better than that.
He goes into that tunnel, he's never coming back out.
Watch your cartoons, goober.
Mommy'll be right back.
Ms.
Austen? Hi, I'm Dan Norton of the law firm Agostoni & Norton.
May we have a moment of your time? - And who are you? - He's my associate.
If I could come in, I'll be glad to explain You can explain right here.
Okay, you got it.
Ms.
Austen, we're here to get a blood sample from you and one from your son Aaron.
Excuse me? Now I have a court order signed by a judge for you to relinquish your blood upon being served these papers To determine your relationship to the child.
I'm sorry.
I don't understand.
Who's the I'm not at liberty to divulge the identity of my client.
- Your client? - Please, may we come in? Get off my property.
If you won't comply, I'm going to have to come back with the sheriff.
Then come back with the sheriff.
Where you going, mommy? We're going on vacation, baby.
Say bye-bye, baby.
Why did you jump off that helicopter? I told you.
We were running' out of gas.
I wanted to make sure she I wanted to make sure they got back to the boat.
Don't matter now anyway, does it? Excuse me.
I really need the two of you to pick up the pace.
Okay? Thanks.
First things first.
Give me your shirt.
My shirt? I really think we have far more pressing matters than me giving you a shirt.
Just keep moving, okay? How about we call a time-out so you can tell us what's going on? - How about you trust me? - I don't know you! We really do not have time for me to try to explain.
You have no idea how difficult that would be for me to try to explain this phenomenon to a quantum physicist.
That would be difficult, so for me to try to explain what is happening - What do you think you're doing? - Shut it, or you're getting one too.
Now talk.
The island Think of the island like a record spinning on a turntable Only now that record is skipping.
Whatever Ben Linus did down at the orchid station I think it may have dislodged us.
Dislodged us from what? Time.
So that's why our camp is gone? Because the island is moving through time? Yeah, either the island is, or we are.
What? And it's just as likely that we're moving, your people and us.
And everyone in your group You're all accounted for, right? Not everyone.
Locke.
Is anyone there? Who are you? - Well, listen, listen - How many others on board? You don't understand.
I didn't come on that plane.
- Wrong answer.
- No, wait! Stop! Stop! I know you.
I know who you are.
Your name Your name is Ethan.
Your name is Ethan.
Who are you? My name is John Locke.
I know this is gonna be hard to understand, but Ben Linus appointed me as your leader.
That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Good bye, John Locke.
Great.
So when are we now, whiz kid? We're either in the past Or we're in the future.
Flight 23 to Paris will begin boarding at gate 15.
Please have your boarding passes ready.
Evening, ma'am.
Where you flying to tonight? - Los Angeles.
- Of course.
May I see your passport, please? Excuse me.
Could you wait here for just one moment, Ms.
Kwon? Where are you going? Open this door.
- Open this door! - Save your breath.
They only do what I tell them to do.
You? You had me brought in here? Why? You had the audacity to approach me in broad daylight in front of my business associates In public.
Why don't I have you brought here? Because you showed me no respect.
I will be respected, Sun.
Fair enough.
Since you seem to be worried about your plane, I'll get right down to business.
You mentioned that you and I had Common interests.
Why don't you tell me exactly what they might be? To kill Benjamin Linus.
The victim was found shot in his car on the grounds of the Santa Rosa hospital, a private mental health care facility outside Los Angeles Okay.
Let's go get him.
Police have now identified their suspect in the shooting as a patient at the hospital who escaped earlier this evening.
Hugo Reyes.
Now if that name sounds familiar to you, that's because Reyes was a member of the infamous Oceanic Six.
As to why he may have murdered a visitor to the facility where Reyes lived for 2 years, that remains a complete mystery.
Well Looks like we have a change of plan.
Here she comes, right now.
Here's your order, sir.
- Keep the change.
- Thank you.
Awesome.
You want a fry? Maybe if you ate more comfort food, you wouldn't have to go around shooting people.
So that dude you popped outside Santa Rosa, who was he? I don't care.
He was armed and he was watching you.
That made him an enemy.
Do you think he was gonna kill me? I'm not taking any risks after Bentham died - You mean Locke.
- Yes, I mean Locke.
I need a cool code name.
So when'd you become so paranoid? If you'd spent the last two years doing the things I was doing, you'd be paranoid, too.
Oh, yeah? Paranoid like what? What kind of things? I was working for Benjamin Linus.
Wait.
He's on our side now? Listen to me, Hurley.
If you ever have the misfortune of running into him, whatever he tells you, just do the opposite.
Wait here.
- Is he all right? - I don't know.
- Is he breathing or what? - Who is that? Check him out.
Look out! That guy's got a gun! Run! Get out of here! Call the cops! Hurry! You okay? Get me to the car.
Dude.
Dude.
Oh, man.
I thought it was supposed to be a safe house.
I never should've left the island.
- Do you think he's looking for us? - Who? Widmore.
It took him, like, 20 years to find this place the first time.
I'll start holding my breath now.
Over here! - Is this the hatch? - It was.
Blown up, just like we left it.
Okay.
So when we are now It's now after you and your people crashed on the island.
You saying our camp's back on the beach again? - It's possible, yeah.
- Good.
I'm going back.
- It's pointless.
- More than staring at a hole? The next flash could come anytime.
By the time you get there, the camp could be gone.
Yeah, but what if it ain't? What if the helicopter hasn't even taken off yet? We could warn them, stop them from ever flying to that boat.
- That's not the way it works.
- Who says? You cannot change anything.
You can't.
Even if you tried to, it wouldn't work, Why not? Time it's like a street, all right? We can move forward on that street, we can move in reverse, but we cannot ever create a new street.
If we try to do anything different, we will fail every time.
Whatever happened, happened.
How do you know so much about this, Danny boy? I know about this Because I've spent my entire adult life studying space-time.
I know all this because this journal contains everything I've ever learned about the Dharma Initiative.
This is why I'm here.
I know what's happening.
So how can we stop it? We can't stop it.
Then who can? Richard? Hey, John.
Richard What's happening? What's happening is that you're bleeding to death.
Here.
I need to get the bullet out.
How did you know there was a bullet in my leg? Because you told me there was.
No, I didn't.
Well You will.
It was Ethan who shot me.
Well What comes around, goes around.
When am I? Well, John, that That's all relative.
Wait a minute.
The noise, when the sky lit up Where did you go? I didn't go anywhere, John.
You went.
All right, this is gonna hurt.
It'll be a lot worse if you move, okay? Hold still.
All done.
Jeez.
I don't understand.
How did you know that I was here? - How did you know where to find me? - I wish I had time to explain it, but you're gonna be moving on soon, and we need to go over - a couple of things before you do.
- Moving on? Sorry.
The first thing, okay? You need to clean out the wound every couple of hours and keep as much weight off the leg as you can.
- The island'll do the rest.
- But I don't Second thing.
No, pay attention.
Next time we see each other, I'm not gonna recognize you.
You give me this.
- All right? - What is this? - It's a compass.
- What does it do? It points north, John.
I wish I had time to be more sensitive about this because it's a lot to swallow, but you need to know it in order to do what you gotta do, so I'm just gonna say it.
The only way to save the island, is to get your people back here.
The ones who left.
The chopper was headed for the boat.
It No, they're fine, and they're already home.
So you have to convince them to come back.
How am I supposed to do that? You're gonna have to die, John.
So What was this thing before you guys blew it up? - A Dharma Station.
- For what? There was a man named Desmond living down in it.
He was pushing a button every - Really? - Yeah.
Really.
Son of a Bitch.
The hatch it's back.
I guess you haven't found it yet.
Hey! Where you going? Back door.
I'm getting some supplies.
James, wait.
Not a good idea.
The sky can flash all it wants, but I ain't starting over, Dilbert.
I ain't rubbing 2 sticks together, start a fire and hunting damn boar! There's Dharma food, beer and clothing in there.
And I'm getting Desmond to let me in one way or another.
- It won't work.
- Why not? Because Desmond didn't know you when he first came out of there.
That means you've never met, which means you can't meet.
This would all be fascinating if I was listening to you.
So how you do know Desmond is even in there? - Think about it.
It could be anybody.
- I don't care who's in there.
Wait.
- Open the damn door! - It won't work.
Sure it will.
Yo, open up! It's the ghost of Christmas future! - No one is gonna answer.
- Open the damn door! Open the door! - You're wasting your time.
- Open up! I know you can hear me! If it didn't happen, it can't happen.
- Open the door! - You can't change the past, James! Everybody I care about just blew up on your damn boat.
I know what I can't change.
We should get back to the beach.
It's been a long day.
Why are we going back to the beach if there's nothing to go back to? So stay here.
That chick likes me.
What? - What? What's the matter? - You I haven't had a nosebleed since I was little.
- Dan, I'm fine.
- Yeah.
No, you're Of course you're fine.
I'm You know, the sight of blood is Yeah, well, it's a good thing you're a physicist then.
Shall we? My pack.
Of course, I left my pack back at the hatch crater.
I better get it.
Why don't you head back with everyone else? I'll be right behind you.
- Don't dillydally.
- I wouldn't think of it.
Please let this work.
Please let this work.
Please, please, let this work.
Don't shoot.
Then you'd best explain why you've been banging on my door for the last 20 minutes, brother.
- Are you him? - Him? - Who? - My replacement.
No, I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm not.
Do I know you? In a way.
But listen, that's not important.
What is important, Desmond, is what I'm about to say to you.
I need you to listen.
You're the only person who can help us because, Desmond, The rules don't apply to you.
You're special.
You're uniquely - and miraculously special.
- What are you talking about? Okay, listen to me.
Listen! If the helicopter somehow made it off the island, if you got home - What are you talking about? - I need you to listen, or people are gonna die.
My name is Daniel Faraday, and right now, me and everyone else you left behind, we're in serious danger.
You're the only person who can help us.
I need you to go back to Oxford university.
Go back to where we met.
Go there and find my mother.
Her name Are you all right? I was on the island.
I was on the island.
You've been off the island for three years now.
You're safe now.
It was just a dream.
It wasn't a dream, Pen.
It was a memory.
Desmond, where are you going? What are you doing? - We're leaving.
- Leaving to go where? Oxford.
