"Previously on Lost:" " Let me ask you something." " Anything." "How'd you know Claire was drowning?" "Claire!" "I could hear her calling for help." "You hear the lightning as well?" "I wasn't saving Claire, Charlie." "I was saving you." "When I saw the lightning hit the roof, you were electrocuted." "And when you heard Claire was in the water, you..." "You drowned trying to save her." "I've tried, brother, I've tried twice to save you, but..." "No matter what I try to do you're gonna die, Charlie." "You're insane, mate." "Superman can fly around the entire planet in the blink of an eye." "Dude, if we're going by a pure foot race," "Supes would get dusted by the Flash." "Why would the Man of Steel agree to a sodding foot race?" "For charity." "And Flash would totally win, because he can vibrate through walls and stuff." "Vibration!" "Whatever would Superman do if he came up against a wall?" "Well, no smashing allowed." "No flying, no smashing..." "Any other restrictions I need to know about?" "Perhaps we should fit Superman with a pair of kryptonite..." "What the hell?" "Charlie!" " Don't touch it!" " Oh, my God." "Oh, my God!" "Just breathe..." "Don't try to talk." "We've got to get him back." " No!" "You help!" " I can't help!" "I'm sorry, mate." "Superman can fly around the entire planet." "Hey!" "Where's the wire?" "You eat those mushrooms Jack warned us about?" "Listen to me." "There's a wire, a cable, buried in the sand." "Do you know what I'm talking about?" " This is future crap, isn't it?" " The cable!" "Do you know where it is?" " This is important." " Why?" "Superman." "Because someone's coming." "God tests our faith in many ways." "As you well know, we have our own test here." "A vow of silence that lasts as long as we see fit." "This challenges both one's patience and his faith." "For some it may last a week, those we're less sure about, a month." "Personally, Desmond," "I never thought you'd last." "And so now I stand corrected." "For whatever reason, your path has led you here." "And now you're one of us." "Welcome, brother." "Thank you... brother." "Morning, Jack." "Must be nice to wake up in your own bed." "Yeah." "Home sweet home." "Listen, I was wondering if I could borrow your first aid kit." "I've twisted my ankle." " You want me to take a look at it?" " No, you're all right." " I've taped my share of ankles." " Right." "Thanks." "Something wrong, Hurley?" "No, just keeping Desmond company because we're friends." " Bring that back when you're done." " Absolutely." "What the hell was that?" "Do you want him to get suspicious?" "Suspicious of what?" "This is like when you knew Claire was drowning." "That's why you got the first aid kit, someone's gonna get hurt." " Is it me?" " No." "This is just a precaution." "Look, dude, you want me to take you to the wire, I want an explanation." "I saw a sequence of events." "Things that are gonna happen." " What'd you see?" " It was like a jigsaw puzzle." "Only I didn't have the picture on the box, so I don't know how the pieces fit, exactly." "One of the pieces, the first one..." "It was you pulling the cable out of the sand." "So what're the other pieces?" "If I tell you that, it'll change the picture on the box." "So what?" "Isn't that the point?" "Preventing something bad?" "Not this time." "So you're not trying to stop something from happening." "You actually want it to happen?" "More than anything." "Hey, Freckles, you home?" "Thought you weren't allowed to use nicknames." "You weren't around when I lost the bet, so you're exempt." " What's up?" " I wanted to ask you something." "Yeah?" "I'm up here." "Did you tell him?" "Did I tell who, what?" "You know, did you tell the doc about you and me?" "No." "But he knows." "He saw us on one of their surveillance monitors." " You said the camera was broken." " Well, they had another camera." "Those perverts." "Anyway, he knows." "Well, now that that's out of the way..." "How about a little afternoon delight?" " That means sex." " I know." "Come on, Freckles, wait!" " You need me to make you a mix tape?" " Yeah, why don't you do that." "Dude, you're gonna have to tell me again." " What do we need Jin for?" " Because he was there with us." "On the beach, when I find the cable." "This way." "Here it is!" " That's right." " In one of your puzzle flashes." "So if he doesn't come, then neither does the "someone" you won't tell me anything about." "That'd be the long and short of it." "But I have no bloody idea how I'm gonna get him to come with us." "Watch the master." " Camping?" " Yeah, sleeping under the stars, a fire on the beach..." "Marshmallows." "Camping." " Yes." " Everybody likes marshmallows." "Good man." "Get food, water..." " Where are you going?" " We need one more." "How daft do you think I am?" "This isn't a camping trip." "You've had another vision, haven't you?" "What was it this time?" "Someone's coming to the island." ""Coming?" As in someone who's not already here?" "How is that gonna happen?" "I can't tell you." "It's got nothing to do with me?" "Well, you're a part of it, as are Jin and Hurley." "Right, but with all due respect, you haven't previously told Jin or Hurley that they're gonna die." "Well, that's not gonna happen." "Not this time." "Can I bring my guitar?" "Absolutely." "All right, I'm in." "You had me worried for a second." "This is it!" "Well, how can you tell?" "That's where I followed the wire into the jungle." "Where is it then?" "Way to go, dude!" "Here it is!" "Here it is!" "Just one thing." "Last time I followed this wire into the jungle," "I almost got kebabbed by one of Rousseau's spiky deathtrap things." "We're not going into the jungle." "Well, not yet." "It's getting late." "So we'll camp here the night." "Camp." "So when do they get here?" "Your mysterious someone?" "Soon." "You do realize you are free to talk again, Brother Desmond." "Used to being quiet, I suppose." "Moriah." "I find the name the brothers have chosen for the wine made here interesting." " And why is that, brother?" "Well, Moriah is the mountain where Abraham was asked to kill Isaac." "It's not the exactly the most festive locale, is it?" "And yet God spared Isaac." "Well, one might argue that God need not have asked" "Abraham to sacrifice his son in the first place." "Then it wouldn't have been much of a test, would it, brother?" "Perhaps you underestimate the value of sacrifice." "Brother Desmond, I met this man down by the gates." "Says he needs to have a word with you." "Sorry, sir." "Forgive me, brother." " Hey." " Hey." " The oatmeal's awesome." " It is, huh?" " It's strange, huh?" " What's that?" "Being back." "Not looking for a way out of a cage." "Not finding a reason to go running off into the jungle again." "I almost don't know what to do with myself." "Well, enjoy it." "I'm sure something will go wrong soon enough." "Well, my big, dangerous adventure for tonight is gonna be doing the dishes..." "in the ocean." " Be careful." " I'll try." " Can I borrow that spoon?" " Yeah." "Thanks." " Good night." " Yeah, good night." "What, my doorbell busted again?" " What the hell are you doing?" " Shut up and don't talk." " You crying?" " I said shut up." "You got it." "Dude, I love the part about the bird." "There was a bird, right?" " You." " Me?" "OK..." "Have you heard the one about the Chupacabra?" "Chupa?" "Yeah, it's like this bear with spines, but Mexican..." "Thanks." "Who's that?" "Her name's Penny." "That's not bad, Des." "Not bad at all." "So how did you manage to leave her behind and come here?" "Because I'm a coward." "Sorry." "You and me both, pal." "You know, I tried to run away from her, and she tracked me down." ""With enough money and determination, you can find anyone," she said." "I used to get through my nights thinking that she actually meant it, that she never gave up." "That, maybe, she spent the last three years looking for me." "What's that?" " Is that a helicopter?" " Rescue!" "Is that how a helicopter's supposed to sound?" "No." "We gotta go out there." " Out there?" " Well, yeah." " In what?" " Well, we gotta do something!" "Look!" "Look!" "Oh, my God." " Pallet?" " Nah, dude." "It's not a food drop." "You saw the beacon thing." "Someone, like, ejected." "But that was a helicopter." "You can't eject from a helicopter." "Well, maybe they jumped." "All that matters is that they're here." "They?" "How do we even know it's a person?" "Because he said "someone" was coming." " Where're you going?" " Out to where it fell." "Let's go." "No." "Whoa, slow down." "We're not going into the jungle" " in the middle of the night." " Yes, we are." "Were you even listening to Hurley when he mentioned Rousseau's deathtrap?" "It's gonna be light in two hours, we'll wait..." " She can't wait!" " "She?"" "They!" "Whoever it is, could be hurt." "We have to go, all four of us." "Now." "Why?" "Because that's the way it's supposed to happen." "Right, well, I guess it's supposed to happen without me." "We'll leave at first light, then." "Together." "Terrific." "Is your sister in?" "Leave." "Now." "Let him be, Derek." "Hello, Ruth." "So you're a monk now, are you?" "Well, technically, I'm still a novice till the Abbot says..." "Why are you here, Desmond?" "Now that my initiation's done..." "I felt like I owed you an explanation." "Desmond, you could never begin to explain what you did." "You left one week before the wedding." "Everything was planned, bought and paid for." "You just disappeared completely." "I had a calling." "We dated for six years and the closest you ever came to a religious experience was Celtic winning the Cup." "Look, yes, I was scared about the wedding." "So I had a few pints too many maybe, and I..." "I raised my eyes and I asked," ""Am I doing the right thing?"" "And that's the last thing I remember." "When I woke up, I was lying on my back in the street, and I don't know how I got there." "And there was this man standing over me, Ruth." "And he reached out his hand and he said to me," ""Can I help you, brother?"" "And the first thing I noticed was the rope tied around his waist." "I looked at him and I knew." "I knew I was supposed to go with him." "I was supposed to leave everything that mattered behind..." "Sacrifice all of it for a greater calling." "Well, it's a good thing a bloody shepherd didn't help you up, or I suppose you'd be off with the sheep, wouldn't ya?" "Next time you want to break up with someone, Des, don't join a monastery." "Just tell the girl you're too bloody scared." "You a doctor or a carpenter?" "What, your dad never taught you to use a hammer?" "No, my dad taught me how to drink." "Well, it's something." "Hope I'm not interrupting." "You two arguing over who's your favourite Other?" "What do you want, Sawyer?" "What I wanted, Doc, was to inform you there's been developments since you were AWOL." "So tell me..." "How's your backhand?" "Where'd you get the table?" "Don't you recognize it?" "Fell out of the purple haze after the hatch went blammo." "If we don't play every 108 minutes, the island's gonna explode." "Finally." "Something I can beat you at." "You know, considering I haven't played since I was 12," "I wouldn't be too proud." "What is that, 18 point?" "It's kinda strange, huh?" "Being back." "Something funny?" "Kate said the same thing in the kitchen last night." " She did, huh?" " She did." "Nineteen point." "So you guys ate together, huh?" "No, Juliet and I had dinner together last night." " Best two out of three?" " You got it." " So what's next?" " Next?" "Yeah, you saw the wire, the flashy thing falling out of the sky..." "Now what?" "Maybe I can help you find..." "That's it." "There is no "next. "" "We find the beacon." " Why are you lying to me, mate?" " Look, mate..." "I've saved your life three times now." "If that hasn't bought me your trust, don't know what will." "Let's move." "Dude, seriously, I'm gonna have a coronary." "Actually, you're not." "And if you don't get a move on," " we're not gonna make it..." " Hey!" "Look at this!" "Can't be Rousseau's." "If it was Rousseau's, a massive rock would be flying at my head right now." "Don't move." " What are you doing..." " Don't move." "Did that come down with the flashing red light thingy?" "Walkie-talkie?" "No, dude, that's a satellite phone!" " Crap." "It's dead." " Shocker." "Oh, my God." "Is that you?" "Then who is she?" "That would be Penny." " What's this?" " Your mix tape." "Well, you gonna take it, or ain't ya?" "The Best of Phil Collins, huh?" "Don't get picky." "And if Bernard asks," " I don't know a thing about it." " Thanks, James." "So why'd you jump me last night?" "What?" "Because you saw the doc hanging out with Juliet?" " It is not like that." " It's not?" "You ain't gotta use me, Freckles." "All you gotta do is ask." " You think it's her, don't you?" " Who?" "Your girl, Penny." "You think it's actually her who bailed out of the helicopter." "Earlier I hoped it." "Now I know it." "Why didn't you tell us?" " Would you've come if I had?" " Of course." "Why wouldn't I?" "I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want anything to change." "Fair enough." "Look, if whatever you're seeing leads to your girl getting us rescued, why would we want to change anything?" "Right?" "Right." "Right." "Thanks for the heads-up about bringing an umbrella, dude." "Brother Desmond..." "What are you doing?" "Well, I believe I'm getting pissed on our lovely wine." "That bottle of our lovely wine fetches over a hundred quid." "We've only bottled a 108 cases this year." "It's just as well we've taken a vow of poverty then, isn't it?" "We've also taken a vow of charity." "Aye." "Something tells me, Desmond, that you're not cut out to be a monk." "Well, you know, I've had a tough week." "I'm sorry for the wine." "I'll take the penance." "I'm afraid you're beyond penance, Desmond." "Brother Desmond." "Not anymore." "Are you..." "Are you firing me?" "I am indeed." "You can't do that." "I heard the call." "I'm sure you did hear the call." "But the Abbey, clearly, isn't where you're meant to end up." "I have little doubt that God has different plans than you being a monk, Desmond." "Bigger plans." "Oh, I'm sure he does." "He does." "You've just spent too much time running away to realize what you may be running toward." "Hey!" "What am I supposed to do now?" "Whatever comes next." "Who's Penny?" "She's a chick Desmond used to date." "Now he thinks she fell from the sky." "So we're gonna go save her life, and she's gonna get us rescued." "Even if I spoke Korean, it wouldn't make any sense." "Hey, we'll move faster if we stop talking." "She might be hurt." "I'm moving as fast as I can." "In case you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly the Flash." "The Flash is pathetic." "You got something against the fastest man alive?" "You're insane, mate." "Superman can fly around the entire planet in the blink of an eye." "Dude, if we're going by a pure foot race," "Supes would get dusted by the Flash." "Why would the Man of Steel agree to a sodding foot race?" "For charity?" "Flash would totally win, because he can vibrate through walls and stuff." "Vibration!" "And what would Superman do if he came up against a wall?" "Well, no smashing allowed." "No flying, no smashing." "Any other restrictions I need to know about?" "Perhaps we should fit Superman with a pair of kryptonite ballet slippers." "What the hell?" "Charlie, duck!" "Dude..." "This way." "No, the beacon fell this side of the rise." "No, there!" "How about we split up?" "Me and Charlie will go that way." "You and Jin go around, and we'll meet up at that ridge over there." "You and Jin." "I'll stick with Desmond." "You said "duck. "" " Sorry?" " You shouted "duck. "" "You knew, even before we set off." "You knew all this time, didn't you?" " Aye." " Why didn't you say anything?" "If I'd told you the truth, you wouldn't have come." "And you needed me to come..." "because I was part of your vision." "You thought the way you could get your girl was if I took an arrow in the head." " You were gonna sacrifice me!" " If the flashes don't happen exactly how I saw them, the picture changes." "I was supposed to let you die, Charlie." " What's that supposed to mean?" " It means it's bloody pointless!" "I keep saving your life." "And what good has it done?" "It's going to keep happening." "Maybe that's the point?" "Maybe it's a test." " A test?" " Like God testing Abraham!" "Except I failed." "Because I changed what I saw." "Hey!" "Hey, can you hear me?" "Hello!" "Dude, she's not moving." "I'm sorry, Penny." "I'm sorry." "I was afraid you'd left without saying goodbye." "No." "I nearly took this with me." "If you're not in a hurry," "Brother Martin's heading into town in a few hours." "He can give you a ride." "That is, if you don't mind doing some heavy lifting." "All ten cases are ready to go." "Desmond, there, is just getting the last one." "Thank you, and my father sent the check in advance." "Please thank him for his generous donation." "Always a pleasure to see you." "Goodbye, Desmond." "I think we should be able to fit it all in the back, and if not, we'll put the rest in the front." "Is that all right?" "Absolutely." "You'd better drive safe, Miss." "This vineyard only makes a limited number of these cases each year." " Is that so?" " It's because the monks are lazy." "It's easier making grape jelly than wine." "And how do you know so much about monks?" " Because I'm an ex-monk." " Really?" "As of last night." "I was fired." "Oh, it wasn't that funny." "I'm sorry, I've never..." "I didn't know monks could be fired." "Well, they can." "I was told in no uncertain terms that the Abbey wasn't where I was meant to end up." "It's just a step along a path." "God allegedly has bigger plans for me." "Something tells me you don't entirely believe that." " I suspect that's because I don't." " Maybe they're right." "If you hadn't got fired, we wouldn't have met, and then..." "How could you possibly help me unload these crates in Carlisle." "Did I say I was coming to Carlisle with you?" "Not yet." "Of course, if an ex-monk already has plans, then..." "I don't usually get into cars with strangers." "Well, in that case, I'm Penelope." "Penny." "Desmond." "Very nice to meet you, Penny." "She's alive!" "Stand back!" "Get away from her!" "I'm here." "I'm here, Penny." " Be careful..." " Just get off, Charlie." "Sorry, Penny, sorry..." "Desmond..."
