"What's that?" " Cheat sheet Faraday drew for me." "You don't know Where your boat is?" "I know Where it is." "Why are you flying directly into the thunderhead?" "Why don't you just sit back and let me do my job?" "Is that Penelope?" "She told Charlie she didn't know about this boat, correct?" "Aye." "What do you expect to find When you get there?" "answers." "Damn it!" "Hold on!" "On your sodding feet!" "Move, move, move!" "What are you Waiting for, Hume?" "What's the matter, Hume?" "Did you not hear me?" "I'm sorry, sir." "I Was having a dream, sir." "You Were having a dream, Were you?" "What Were you dreaming about?" "That it took you so sodding long to get to your mark?" "!" "I Was in a helicopter, sir." "And there Was a storm, sir, and..." "And..." "I don't remember the rest, sir." "Well, at Ieast it Was a bloody military dream." "Right!" "AII of you!" "In the yard, four minutes!" "And you can thank Private Hume for having to do it in double time." "Move!" " One, two..." " Three!" " One, two, three..." " Four!" " One, two, three..." " Five!" "One hundred crunches." "Go, go, go, go, go!" "One, two, three..." "I hope your dream Was Worth this, mate." "Sorry, pal." "Just..." "I've never had a dream so vivid." "It Was like I Was actually there." "You got something to say, Hume?" "I asked you a question!" "We're almost through it." "I see daylight." "What do you think you're doing?" "Desmond." "Hey, you all right?" "Who are you?" "how do you know my name?" "Here you go." "AII right, they took off a day ago." " Why haven't We heard from them?" " I'm gonna tell you again, as I've been telling you, I don't know!" "You heard the same thing as I did When We called the boat." " What makes you think I know anything?" " Because you're not Worried." " excuse me?" " Your boat's 40 miles off the coast." "Should've taken them, What, 20 minutes to get there?" "Why aren't you Worried?" "Should I Wring my hands together" " and Whisper a prayer on their behalf?" " Hey, hey, hey." "Come on." "Maybe We should just tell them." "Tell us What?" "Dan, Iet's not confuse anyone." "Well, Daniel, maybe if you talk real slow," "We'II be able to follow." "Your perception of how long your friends have been gone it's not necessarily how long they've actually been gone." " What does that mean?" " This is a mistake." "It'II be fine, it'II be fine." "As long as Frank flew on the bearings I gave him." "If he stayed on it, it'II be fine." "And What if he didn't?" "Then there might be side effects." "We're at 2,000 feet." "Sit!" " What am I doing here?" " What's going on?" " Something's Wrong With Desmond." " Hold him in his seat!" " I'm trying!" " Let go of me!" "`Keep him away from the stick!" "We'II be there in two minutes!" "What are you doing back?" "Who are they?" "Survivors of 81 5." "You dropped them here." "What the hell Were you thinking?" " Where am I?" " Just take it easy." "Who are you people?" "What am I doing here?" " Who are you?" " My friend has..." "I'm not your friend!" "I don't know you!" "I don't know you!" " When did he start doing this?" " He Was fine When We took off." "We hit some Weather..." "Faraday said as long as I stayed on the vector..." "O`K." "Go." "Wait, Wait, Wait." "What's your name, my friend?" " Sayid." " O`K, Sayid." "We're gonna take your buddy down to the sick bay." " I'm going With him." " Let a doctor look at him first then you can come down." "You got my Word on that, O`K?" " AII right." " Listen to me." "This is a mistake, right?" "I don't know these people." " I understand." " No, this is Wrong!" "I'm not supposed to be here!" "twenty, 21, 22..." ""Here"?" "Here What?" "What the hell are you doing on your feet?" "Are you finished With your crunches because you Want to run?" "!" "Right!" "Squad, on your feet!" "Right face!" "Ten kilometres!" "Go, go, go, go, go!" "Get moving, or so help me I'II kill you myself!" "What the hell's the matter With you, Des?" "If I told you, you'd think I Was crazy." "I already know you're crazy." "This morning, When I Was in the yard doing crunches I Ieft." "What do you mean you "left"?" "I Was on a boat." "And then I Was back here, right Where I started." "Des, if you're trying to get tossed..." "Billy, I'm telling you the truth, man." "Who else Was on this... boat?" "Anyone you recognise?" "Penny." "There Was a photo." "Penny Was in the photo." "Oi, Des!" "Where are you going?" "Thanks for this morning, Hume." "Watch your step." "Watch it." "Watch your step." "Take it easy." "I'm not here." "This..." "This isn't happening." "You are here, and this is happening." " Look, We're gonna take care of you." " What am I doing here?" " It's all right." "You're gonna be O`K." " Who are you people?" "Well, my name is `Keamy, and this is Omar." "I'm from Vegas, he's from florida." "But as for Where We are..." "We last ported in Fiji." "So at Ieast We know We're still in the Pacific." "AII right, my friend." "You just relax, O`K?" "We're gonna go get the doc, and he's gonna Want to ask you some questions" " to help us sort all this out." " What do you mean, sort out?" "What do you mean?" "I'm not supposed to be here!" "I'm not supposed to be here!" "Open this door!" " Open this door!" " Hey!" "Hey, hey." "It's happening to you too, isn't it?" "What's happening to Desmond?" "Your friends know What's Wrong." " If they do, they're not sharing." " We'II share We took off at dusk and landed in the middle of the day." "Listen, I don't know What's happening to your buddy." "But you gotta trust me When I tell you this:" "I am trying to help you." "You Want to help me?" "Give me your phone." "Let me call my people." "You give me that Weapon, and I'II give you this phone." "Be quick." "Don't go trying to call Baghdad." "Those phones only call each other." " Hello?" " Jack, it's Sayid." "I'm on thv frvightvr." "Are you O`K?" "Where have you been?" "Something happened during the flight and now Desmond's in their sick bay." "Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on." "AII right, you're on speaker." "On thv hvlicoptvr, somvthing happvnvd to Dvsmond." "He doesn't appear to recognise me or know Where he is." "Side effects?" "Wait, your friend Desmond, has he recently been exposed to high levels of radiation or electromagnetism?" "O`K, look, We don't know Why, but going to and coming from the island some people can get a Iittle confused." "So, What, is this amnesia?" "No." "This is not amnesia." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey!" "Can you hear me?" "Are you all right?" "Hello?" "I Was just on a Ferris Wheel." "See, Ray?" "I'm not crazy." "It's happening to him too, Ray." "It's gonna happen to you." "It's gonna happen to all of us." "Everyone." "Once We start heading to that island again." "Would you please step aside?" "No, no..." "Ray, no." "I need you to relax for a minute." "No!" "No, it's not gonna stop it, Ray." "Nothing can stop it, Ray!" "Nothing can stop this...!" " And how are you feeling?" " What the bloody hell is going on?" "!" " I understand you're disoriented..." " You Won't stick me With that!" "I don't Want to stick you With anything." "If it's O`K, I just Want to check your eyes." " Why?" " So I can help you." "What's your name?" "Desmond." "Desmond." "Why don't you tell me the Iast thing you remember?" "Hvllo?" "Penny?" "What do you want, Dvsmond?" "Penny, listen, I'm..." "I'm in trouble." "I think something's happened to me." "I'm confused and..." "I need to see you." "you brokv off with mv and thvn you joinvd thv army, and now you call with somv vXpvctation I still carv about you?" "yvah, I'd say you arv confusvd, Dvsmond." "No, I'm not." "It's..." "Look, I've got two days leave starting tonight." " Can I... can I come and see you?" " No." "No." "And don't bothvr showing up at thv flat vithvr." "I'vv movvd." "Moved?" "Where?" "It dovsn't mattvr." "Look, Dvsmond, I'm going to go." " Plvasv don't call mv again." " No, listen, Penny, I need you." "Did you just experience something, Desmond?" "Frank, you're not supposed to be here, definitely not With him." "Sorry, but I got Faraday calling." "He needs to talk to this guy..." " Faraday's not talking to my patient." " He's not your patient!" "Give Desmond the phone." "Give him the phone now!" " Hello?" " Desmond." "Desmond, my name is Daniel Faraday." "We met yesterday before you took off, but I'm guessing you don't remember that." " Took off..." "What?" " Wv don't havv long to talk, so I need you to tell me What year you think it is." "What do you mean What year do I think...?" "It's 1 996." "AII right." "Desmond, look, you gotta tell me, Where are you?" "I'm..." "I'm in some kind of sick bay." "No, not right noW, Desmond." "Where are you supposed to be?" "Where are you in 1 996?" "I'm at Camp Millar." "It's a Royal Scots regiment." "It's just north of Glasgow." " Dan, you might..." " No, no, I'm thinking, I'm thinking." "Desmond, listen, When it happens again," "I need you to get on a train." "Gvt on a train and go to oxford," "Oxford University, Queen's College Physics Department." "What?" "Why?" "Because I need you to find me." " Where is it?" "Where is it?" " What?" "My journal, my journal." "I need my journal, or I Won't believe him." " Why does he think he's in 1 996?" " I don't know." "It's unpredictable." "It's a random effect." "Sometimes the displacement's a couple hours, sometimes years." "Wait, this has happened before?" "The phone, now, please." "Thank you." " Desmond, are you still there?" " Hey, doc!" "Talk to him!" "I can't hold them for long." "Yes!" "Yes, I'm here." "O`K, listen, When you find me at Queen's College," "I need you to tell me to set the device to 2.342." " What?" " you got it?" "2.342." "It must be oscillating at 1 1 hertz." " you got it, Dvsmond?" " 2.342." "Oscillate..." "Just rvmvmbvr that." "2.342 at 1 1 hvrtz, all right?" "One more thing, Desmond." "If the numbers don't convince me" "I need you to tell me that you know about EIoise." "Easy, easy!" "Dvsmond?" "Tvll mv that you know about Eloisv..." "Original, the opposite of derivative." "I am the one for you to impress, Mr Hollister." "I'm not impressed." "So go, go try again." "Sorry." "Are you Daniel Faraday?" " You are?" " Sorry." "I'm Desmond Hume, and I Was told I could find you here." "I think I've... just been to the future." " The future?" " Yes." "I spoke to you there." "You told me to come here to Oxford to find you." "You said you'd help me." "Why didn't I just help you there, in the future?" "Sorry?" "Why Would I put you through the headache of time travel." "You know What I mean?" "It just seems a Iittle unnecessary." "Don't you think my esteemed colleagues could have come up With something just a Iittle more believable?" "What kind of a prank is that?" "Time paradox." "So uninspired." "Set your device to 2.342 and make sure it oscillates at 1 1." "O`K, now, you..." "You're gonna tell me Who told you those numbers." "You did." "Wait a second." "This is ridiculous." "I know about EIoise." "What is all this?" "This is Where I do the things Oxford froWns upon." "AII right, this future version of me, he referenced this meeting, right?" "Obviously." "So I Would remember you coming to Oxford, right?" "I Would remember this here right noW." "Actually... no." " No." " Maybe you just forgot." "Yeah, right." "how Would that happen?" "So this is changing the future?" "You can't change the future." " What's that for?" " Radiation." " Do I get one?" " You don't need one." "It's for prolonged exposure." "I do this 20 times a day." "So, What do you put on your head?" "Yeah." "This..." "This is EIoise." " What does this do?" " This, if the numbers you gave me are correct," "What this Will do is unstick EIoise in time, just like you." " What happened?" " Wait." "She's not back yet." "There she is." "O`K." "Here goes everything." "Come on, come on." "Come on." "That's it." "Come on." "That's it." "Yes, yes." "Yes!" "It Worked!" "This is incredible." "how is a rat running through a maze so incredible?" "What is incredible is I just finished the maze this morning." "I'm not gonna teach her how to run it until an hour from now." " So you sent her to the future?" " No, her consciousness." "Her mind." "So how does that help me?" "You?" "Help you?" "I don't understand." "Didn't I send you back here to help me?" "I don't know Why you sent me here." "AII I know about you is you end up on some bloody island." "An island?" "What island?" "Why Would I go to an...?" "Desmond, give me the phone." "Come on, everybody relax!" "Listen!" "Daniel Wanted to talk to the guy, so We brought him the phone, that's all." " You let Faraday talk to him?" " He said he could help." " Faraday can't even help himself!" " Outside now." " The captain Wants to talk to you." " I Want to talk to your captain." "I'II be sure to let him know." "In the meantime have a seat." " I need to get back." " Back Where?" "The island?" "He said he could help me, tell me What I needed to do." "Desmond, can you please explain to me...?" "Desmond?" "You're Desmond?" "Do I know you?" "I'm George MinkoWski." "I'm the communications officer." "Before they strapped me down here, all the calls to and from this boat came through me in the radio room." "And every so often I get this flashing light on my console." "An incoming call." "We Were under strict orders never to answer it." "So?" "What's that got to do With me?" "Those calls came from your girlfriend." "Penelope Widmore." " What happened?" " You're back." "And you Were out almost 75 minutes." " Out?" " Oh, yeah." "You just Went catatonic right in the middle of a sentence." "I carried you to the chair." "I take it you Were in the future again?" "Aye." " For how long?" " I don't know." "Five minutes." "Why does this keep happening?" "In your case, I'm guessing the progression is exponential." "Each time your consciousness jumps it's harder to jump back." "I Would be careful crossing the street if I Were you." "What happened to her?" " She died." " I can see that." "how?" "Brain aneurysm, probably." "I'm gonna do an autopsy later." " Is that gonna happen to me?" " The effects vary from case to case." "answer me!" "If this keeps happening, am I gonna die?" "I don't know." "I think EIoise's brain short-circuited." "The jumps between the present and the future, she eventually... couldn't tell Which Was Which." "She had no anchor." " What do you mean "anchor"?" " Something familiar in both times." "See this?" "This is all variables." "It's random, it's chaotic." "Every equation needs stability, something known." "It's called a constant." "Desmond, you have no constant." "You go to the future nothing new is familiar." "So if you Want to stop this then you need to find something there, something that you really, really care about that also exists back here in 1 996." "This constant can it be a person?" "Yeah, maybe." "But you have to make some kind of contact." "I thought you said you Were off on a boat, middle of nowhere?" " Who are you calling?" " I'm calling my bloody constant." "Thv numbvr you havv diallvd has bvvn disconnvctvd." "Hey, are you O`K?" "You look a Iot older now, huh?" "Welcome back, Desmond." "I need to call Penny." "Calling your girlfriend is not our priority." "Listen, brother, I don't know you but you seem to know me, so if you and me are friends then I need your help." "I need to call Penny now." "You boys are getting Way ahead of yourselves." "two days ago someone sabotaged the equipment." "We lost all communication With the mainland." "I probably could've fixed it, but then..." " Then I Went nuts." " Where's the radio room?" "It's one deck up." "I'II take you there." "Come on." "how do We get out of here?" "Through the door." "Looks like you guys have a friend on this boat." "Your..." "Your nose, brother." "It's clear." "Let's..." "The Black Rock set sail from Portsmouth, England" "March 22, 1 845 on a trading mission to the kingdom of Siam" "When she Was tragically lost at sea." "The only known artefact of this journey is the journal of the ship's first mate," "Which Was discovered among the artefacts of pirates on L'?" "ie Sainte Marie seven years later." "The contents of this journal have never been made public to anyone outside the family of the seller, Tovard Hanso." "We open the bidding on Lot 2342 at $1 50,000." "One-hundred-fifty thousand, sir." "To 1 60?" "Do I hear...?" "One-sixty, sir." "One-seventy, sir." "One-eighty on the phone." "two hundred thousand pounds." "TWo-hundred-twenty thousand pounds." "TWo-forty?" "TWo-hundred-sixty thousand pounds, sir." "TWo-eighty?" "On the phone I have 300,000..." "Three-twenty." "Three-hundred-forty thousand pounds." "Three-sixty?" " Three-eighty." " This auction's by appointment only." "Do I hear $400,000?" " Listen, I just need to speak to..." " I'm sorry, sir." "Sold, for $380,000 to bidder 755." " Thank you, sir." " Just for a minute, all right?" " Look..." "Mr Widmore." " Desmond." "Can I have a Word, sir?" " I'm sorry, Mr Widmore..." " That's fine." "Walk With me." "Your Word." "Let's have it." "I need to get in touch With Penny." "I don't know how to reach her, and her number's been disconnected." "There Was a time When, if you'd asked her to marry you, she'd have said yes." "But fortunately your cowardice Won out instead." "I take it you've had second thoughts." "And you'd Iike her to give you another chance." "Why do you hate me so much?" "It's not me Who hates you." "Here's her address." "I'II let her tell you herself." "Desmond." "I know." "It's getting harder." "It starts happening faster too." "Come on, Iet's move." "Hey, how did this happen to you?" "We Were anchored here," "Waiting for our orders, bored out of our minds." "Me and Brandon, he's one of the crew members," "We took out the ship's tender." "We just Wanted to see the island." "But Brandon started acting crazy." "So We had to turn around." " Where is he?" " In a body bag." "There." " Who did this?" " You got me." "But When the captain finds out, I feel sorry..." "After your call, someone has to tell me precisely What is going on." " Can you fix it, brother?" " I need a minute." "Do you have the number to make the call?" "George, Wake up, Wake up." "You're going to come back." "Desmond, do you know the number?" " No." " Well, you better remember it." "It's 2004?" "I didn't realise it Was almost Christmas." "It's been..." "Desmond." "No!" "I... can't get... back." "What happened to him?" "The same thing that's gonna happen to me." "Desmond?" " What are you doing here?" " I had to." "I tried to call you, but you disconnected your phone." "Yeah, because I moved." "I don't know if you're getting the signals, but I'm trying to make a clean break." "So if you don't mind..." "please, I just need to get your new phone number." " Why Would I give you that?" " I made a huge mistake." "I should never have broken up With you." "I know that now, I'm sorry." " Don't." "Just don't do this." " I understand." "I know it's too late to change things, but I need to tell you something." "I need you to listen to me." "I know it's gonna sound ridiculous, but..." "please, Pen." "I need you to listen to me." "Just say What you need to say and then go." "I know this doesn't make sense because it doesn't make sense to me." "But eight years from now I need to call you." "And I can't call you if I don't have your number." " What?" " Penny, just give me your number." "I know I've ruined things." "I know you think things are over, but they're not." "If there's any part of you that still believes in us, just..." "...give me your number." " What's to say you Won't call tonight?" "I Won't call... for eight years." "December 24, 2004." "Christmas Eve." "I promise." "please, Pen." "If I give you the number, Will you leave?" "Aye." "7946-0893." "7946-0893. 7946..." "AII that, and you're not gonna Write it down?" "It Wouldn't do any good." "You have to keep that number." " please get out!" "Get out!" " Just remember, December 24, 2004." "If you still care about me, you have to answer." "I'm not crazy, Penny!" "You have to believe me!" "You have to trust me!" "I do trust you." "But you still have to remember that number." "7946-0893." "7946-0893." "7946-0893." "It's a London number." "excellent timing." "The patch is done, but I don't know how long the battery Will last." "I hope she's there." "I hope so too." "Hvllo?" "Penny?" "Dvsmond?" "Penny." "Penny, you answered." "You answered, Penny." "Des, Where are you?" "I'm..." "I'm..." "I'm on a boat..." "I've..." "I've been on an island and..." " Oh, my God, Penny, is that really you?" " Yeah." "Yes, it's me." "You believed me." "You still care about me." "Des, I've been looking for you for the past three years." "I know about the island." "I've been researching and thvn whvn I spokv to your frivnd charliv, that's When I knew you Were still alive." "That's When I knew I Wasn't crazy." " Des, are you still there?" " Yes, yes, I'm here." " I'm still here." "Can you hear me?" " Yeah, that's better." "I Iove you, Penny." "I've always loved you." "I'm so sorry." "I Iove you." "I Iove you too." " I don't know Where I am." " I'II find you." " I promise..." "I'II come back." " No matter What." " I Won't give up, I promise." " I promise." " I Iove you." " I Iove you." "I'm sorry." "The power source Went dead." "That's all We had." "Thank you, Sayid." "It Was enough." "Are you all right noW?" "Aye." "I'm perfect."
