TV show quotes
Daniel, the real Oceanic Flight 815 crashed on an island--a special island with unique scientific properties. I want to send you to the Island. It will further your research, show you things you'd never dream of. But more importantly, it will heal you, Daniel--your mind, your memory.
H--heal me? W--why are you doing all this for me?
Because you're a man of tremendous gifts, and it would be a shame to see them go to waste.
You sound like my mother.
That's because we're old friends.
In about four hours, the DHARMA folks at the swan work site--they're gonna--gonna drill into the ground and accidentally tap into a massive pocket of energy. The result of the release of this energy would be catastrophic. So in order to contain it, they're gonna have to cement the entire area in, like Chernobyl. And this containment--the place they built over it--I believe you called it "the Hatch." The Swan hatch? Because of this one accident, these people are gonna spend the next 20 years keeping that energy at bay... by pressing a button... a button that your friend Desmond will one day fail to push, and that will cause your plane--Oceanic 815--to crash on this Island. And because your plane crashed, a freighter will be sent to this Island--a freighter I was on and Charlotte was on and so forth. This entire chain of events--it's gonna start happening this afternoon. But... we can change that. I studied relativistic physics my entire life. One thing emerged over and over--can't change the past. Can't do it. Whatever happened, happened. All right? But then I finally realized... I had been spending so much time focused on the constants, I forgot about the variables. Do you know what the variables in these equations are, Jack?
No.
Us. We're the variables. People. We think. We reason. We make choices. We have free will. We can change our destiny. I think I can negate that energy under the Swan. I think I can destroy it. If I can, then that hatch will never be built, and your plane... your plane will land, just like it's supposed to, in Los Angeles.
And just how exactly do you plan on destroying this energy?
I'm gonna detonate a hydrogen bomb.
Your daughter's in there. Why don't you go in and say hello?
Unfortunately, Eloise, my relationship with Penelope is one of the things I had to sacrifice.
Sacrifice? Don't you talk to me about sacrifice, Charles. I had to send my son back to the Island, knowing full well that--
He was my son, too, Eloise.
[dying] You knew. You always knew. You knew this was gonna happen. You sent me here anyway.
Who are you?
I... I'm your son.
[Miles, Jin and Hurley follow Sawyers plan and start to head out towards the beach. Suddenly they hear something. Jin and Miles raise their weapons, but notice that it's Miles' dad - Dr. Chang who has come to meet them. They lower their weapons]
Dr. Chang? What are you doing here?
I could ask you the same question. [Pause] Please I must know is what your friend Faraday said true? Are you from the future?
[Hurley briefly glances over at Miles and Jin and then turns to Dr. Chang]
Dude that's ridiculous.
Oh really. What year were you born?
Erm....1931.
[Eyeing Hurley] You're 46?
Yeah.....Yes I am.
That means you must have fought in the Korean War?
[nervous] There's no such thing...
Who is the US President?
Ok, we're from the future.
[Hurley turns to Miles and Jin]
Sorry dudes.
[Richard Alpert sits in his tent fixing a model ship in what appears to be a large glass bottle. An Other enters his tent to inform him of John Locke's return]
Richard. He's back!
Who?
[They exit Richard's tent, coming up the beach is John Locke carrying a boar over his shoulders]
I brought dinner!
[Confused and shocked] John?
[Locke chucks the dead boar in the sand]
Hello Richard. It's been a while.
It's...been three years. John what happened? Where were you?
I'll explain that on the way.
On the way? On the way where?
It's going to be night soon and you and I have an errand to run and we don't have a lot of time. [Pause] What's wrong?
There's something different about you.
I have a purpose now...
[Ben and Sun watch on from afar as Locke talks to Richard in The Others camp]
Who's that man that John's talking to?
He's Richard Alpert. He's a kind of...advisor. And he has had that job for a very, very long time.
[Sun takes off her rucksack and unzips it talking out the picture of the 1977 Dharma recruits in which Jack, Kate and Hurley feature. She drops the bag and heads into the camp, towards Richard and Locke]
Sun? What are you...
[Ben follows her]
[To Richard] Where you here in 1977?
Excuse me?
[Sun shows Richard the photo]
These people. Jack Shepard, Kate Austen and Hugo Reyes, they were here with my husband Jin Kwon. Were you here? Do you remember them? Any of them?
Yes, I was here 30 years ago and yes I do remember these people. I remember meeting them very clearly because...I watched them all die.
[Having been caught by the 1977 version of The Others. Jack and Kate sit alone in a tent and discuss Faraday's plan]
Before we got captured you said that we had to put things back the way they were meant to be. What did you mean by that?
If we can do what Faraday said our plane never crashes. Flight 815 lands in Los Angeles and everyone we lost since we got here, they'd all be alive.
And what about us? We just go on living our lives because we never met.
All the misery that we have been through would just wipe clean, like it never happened.
It was NOT all misery!
Enough of it was!
Maybe I was wrong!
No, you were right!
When I left the Island, John stepped in. He's the leader now.
Who's that man he's talking to?
His name is Richard Alpert. He's a kind of... adviser. And he has had that job for a very, very long time.
Your friend Faraday said that you were from the future. I need to know if he was telling the truth.
Dude, that's ridiculous.
What year were you born? What year?
Uh... 1931?
You're 46?
Yeah. Yes, I am.
So you fought in the Korean War?
[beat] There's... no such thing.
Who's the President of the United States?
[beat] All right, dude, we're from the future. Sorry.
Since when did shooting kids and blowing up hydrogen bombs become okay?
This is our destiny.
Do you know who you sound like? Because he was crazy, too, Jack.
[as John Locke] I'm not interested in being reunited with my people.
What do you mean? You told Sun--
I know what I told her, but that's not why we're going to Jacob.
Then why are we going to Jacob?
So I can kill him.
[Jacob sits in a darkened room. He weaves something on a wooden wheel. He then heads outside and into the ocean to a fishing net and places the contents (a red herring) on a rock where he guts it and cooks it. He places it on a leaf to eat and sits back to watch as a wooden ship (presumably The Black Rock) approaches the island. The Man in Black approaches Jacob and sits in the sand next to him]
Morning.
Morning.
Mind if I join you?
Please. You want some fish?
No thank you, I just ate.
I take it you're here because of the ship.
I am. How did they find the island?
You'll have to ask them when they get here.
I don't have to ask: you brought them here. Still trying to prove me wrong, aren't you?
You are wrong.
Am I? They come. They fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same.
It only ends once. Everything that comes before is just progress.
[Pause]
Do you have any idea how badly I want to kill you?
Yes.
One of these days, sooner or later, I'm going to find a loophole, my friend.
Well when you do, I'll be right here.
Always nice talking to you Jacob.
Nice talking to you, too.
[The Man in Blackgets up ends heads off leaving Jacob alone on the beach. The camera pulls back to reveal that both men have been sat below the giant statue that is of a crocodile like figure]
