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)
TTony
Over here. We were cutting through the rock, right on your specs. That's when 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.
Not if we stick to the story.
I don't know, Jack. It could be a risk.
It's the only way. We have to do this.
Look, we're running out of time. We've got to make a decision now. So are we all okay with this?
This is a decision that will affect the rest of our lives. I'm not taking it lightly.
[Sun nods]
Sorry you got dragged into this, but we need to know that you're with us.
Whatever you guys decide, I'll just roll with.
I don't think we should lie dude.
We need to protect the people that we left behind, Hurley.
How does lying protect them?
It protects them from Charles Widmore. The guy hired a boatload of people to kill all of us. He faked the plane crash, and you think telling him the truth he's just gonna.. he's gonna leave them alone?
[To Penny] Look he's your dad right? Can't you just like.. call him off?
PPenny
There's no calling my father off.
But, he'll never find 'em. I mean the Island disappeared, we all saw it, it's gone... BLUP!
You thing anyone's gonna believe that? Believe any of it? They're gonna think you're crazy.
Unless someone backs me up.
[He looks at Sayid]
Sayid, come on. They'll think I'm nuts if I tell the truth but what if we all do? I mean if we can stick together, we can make 'em believe us. I don't wanna spend the rest of my life lying, do you?!
No, but I don't believe we have a better choice... I'm sorry Hurley but we have to lie.
You know what dude? I'm gonna remember this. And some day you're gonna need my help and I'm telling you right now... You're not getting it.
[After being pulled over]
Okay, okay, okay. Just stay calm.
[Cop knocks on window, Hurley rolls it down]
CCop
What the hell where you thinking?
You were driving like a maniac. And why'd you pull over?
You didn't think. What if I were real? What if a real cop stopped you? They already have pictures of you covered in blood with a gun in your hand.
Actually, it's ketchup. We, uh, went to a drive-through and uh...
Bro, you need to pull it together. You've got a lot of work to do.
Let's start with the basics. First off, you need new clothes. Then, you need to go to a safe place and take Sayid to somebody you trust. You getting all this?
Then get to it. And stay away from the cops. Do not get arrested.
Oh, yeah... Libby says hi.
Okay. See, we did crash, but it was on this crazy island. And we waited for rescue, and there wasn't any rescue. And there was a smoke monster, and then there were other people on the island. We called them the Others, and they started attacking us. And we found some hatches, and there was a button you had to push every 108 minutes or... well, I was never really clear on that. But... the Others didn't have anything to do with the hatches. That was the DHARMA Initiative. The Others killed them, and now they're trying to kill us. And then we teamed up with the Others because some worse people were coming on a freighter. Desmond's girlfriend's father sent them to kill us. So we stole their helicopter and we flew it to their freighter, but it blew up. And we couldn't go back to the island because it disappeared, so then we crashed into the ocean, and we floated there for a while until a boat came and picked us up. And by then, there were six of us. That part was true. But the rest of the people... who were on the plane? They're still on that island.
Ahh! [Throws Hot Pocket at him, misses and it hits wall] Get away from me. Get away!
Hugo, I know you're in trouble. And I can assure you, I've taken care of everything. I have a car waiting for us out back. The police didn't see me come in. I can get you out of here.
No way, dude. Sayid warned me about you.
I'm taking you to Sayid. He's with Jack. That's why I'm here, Hugo. Jack called me. How else would I know that they're together?
No. You're playing one of your mind games. They'd never trust you.
In their defense, I'm not an easy person to trust. But they came around when they realized that we all want the same thing.
To go back to the island. Come with us, Hugo. And this'll be over. You can stop hiding. You can stop worrying about the stories and the deceptions. If you come with me, you won't ever have to lie again. Please... Let me help you.
[Hurley turns and runs]
[Dan and Charlotte are sitting at a table]
You didn't have to say that.
[smiles] That you loved me. And I'm pretty sure that there are other ways you could have convinced him you weren't going to blow up the entire island.
I said what I said because I meant it, Charlotte.
[to Faraday] Whatever your, uh, your superiors told you, I want you to know the truth. A month ago, we found 18 members of an Army battalion right here in our jungle here, setting up this camp. We gave them the opportunity to leave the island peacefully. They weren't willing to do that, so I was forced to kill 'em. All of 'em.
