DWDharma Worker

There's an open chamber about twenty meters in behind the rock. There's something in there. And the only way to get it is to lay charges here and here, blast through it-

PCPierre Chang (From Orientation videos)

Under no circumstances. This station is being built here because it's 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.

WWorker

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.

WWorker

So what do you want me to do?

You're gonna do nothing. If you drill even one centimeter further, you risk releasing that energy. If that would've happened... God help us all.

(Jack stares at Locke's body, Ben comes up with a stretcher)

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 considerably easier than the rest of your friends.

They're not my friends anymore.

Well that's the spirit...

How did we get here...? How did all of this happened?

It happened because you left, Jack... Now let's get started shall we?

(Ben closes Jeremy Bentham's coffin)

First things first. Give me your shirt.

My shirt?

Yeah.

I really think we have far more pressing matters then me giving you a shirt. How about we just keep moving, okay?

How about we call a time out so you can tell us what the hell's going on?

How about you trust me?

Trust you? I don't even 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-this phenomenon to a quantum physicist. That would be difficult. So for me to try to explain whatevers happened-

[Sawyer slaps Daniel]

Oy! What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?

Shut it, ginger, or you're getting one too. Now talk.

This 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 Orchard station... I think it may have... dislodged us.

Dislodged us from what?

... Time.

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.

[At drive through]

Wanna fry?

No, thank you.

You know maybe if you ate more comfort food, you wouldn't have to go around shooting people.

So that dude you pocked outside Santa Rosa, who was he?

I don't care. He was armed and he was watching you. That made him an enemy.

You think he was going to kill me?

I'm not taking risks after Bentham died.

You mean Locke?

Yeah, I mean Locke.

I need a cool code name.

Hey, 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.

Dan (staring at the hatch crater): 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 sayin' our camp is back on the beach again?

It's possible, yeah.

Good. I'm going back.

Hey. No, no. (stoping him) It's pointless.

More pointless than staring at a hole in the ground?

We don't know when the next flash is coming. By the time you get back to the beach, the camp could be gone again.

Yeah. But what if it ain't? Hell, what if the helicopter hasn't even taken off yet?

We could warn them. Stop them from ever flying to that boat.

That is 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.

Next time we see each other, I'm not gonna recognize you, all right? You give me this.

(He gives Locke a compass)

What is this?

It's a compass.

What does it do?

It points north, John. Look, 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, okay? The only way to save the island, John, is to get your people back here. The ones who left.

Jack, Kate? But the chopper was headed for the boat. The boat...

No, they're fine, John, and they're already home, so you have to convince them to come back.

How... How am I supposed to do that?

You're gonna have to die, John.

(The sky flashes again and Richard disappears)

Dan (knocking at the hatch back door): Please, please, please. Let this work.

(The door opens, Desmond comes out and aims at Dan with a rifle)

Don't shoot.

Then you'd best explain why you've been bangin' on my door for the last 20 minutes, brother.

Desmond.

Desmond (slowly lowering the rifle): Are you him?

"Him"? Who?

My replacment.

No, I'm not. (Desmond points the rifle at him again) I'm not. I'm not. I'm...

Do I know you?

Yeah... 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... The rules don't apply to you. You're special. You're uniquely and miraculously special.

What are you talking about?

(The sky begins to hum)

Okay, listen to me. Listen! If the helicopter somehow made it off the island, if you got home...

What helicopter? What are you talking about?!

Listen, 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. I need you to go there and find my mother. Her name is...

(The sky flashes and Desmond wakes up in his bed)

[As sky lights up for third time shift]

Son of a-

[Time shifts, shows it's daylight]

Bitch...

TTony

Over here. We were cutting through the rock, right on your specs. That's when the drill melted.

The drill melted?

TTony

Yeah, yeah. 3 meters in. 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 and blast through it and take a look--

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.

TTony

[Chuckles] 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.

TTony

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.
