"Previously on Lost:" "Desmond." "I need you to go back to Oxford University." "Back to where we met." "I need you to go and find my mother." "Her name is..." "What happens if I can't get them all to come back?" "Then God help us all." "I'm going back to the island today, just as soon as I do one thing:" "kill your daughter." "What are you doing here?" "Desmond!" "He's coding!" " Gunshot wound." "He's crashing!" " Bay seven." " Gonna be OK?" " Gonna have to wait." " What's happening?" " Please, wait here." " We'll let you know." " What's happening?" "Is he gonna be OK?" "We're gonna do everything we can." "Please just wait." " Daddy!" " He's gonna be OK." "He's gonna be OK." "How old is your son?" "He's two." "He has his father's hair." " I'm sorry, do I know you?" " No, but your husband does." "I'm Eloise Hawking." "And I believe it's my son's fault that Desmond has been shot." " Your son is Benjamin Linus?" " Good Lord, no." "My son is Daniel Faraday." "Hey, can I get a hand with this?" " Dan?" " Hey, Miles." "Long time, no see." "Ladies and gentlemen, you know why you're here." " Wish you could get..." " What the hell are you doing back?" "Once you left for Ann Arbor, I figured you'd gotten rich" " inventing the DVD or something." " This is what I'm doing back here." " When did they get here?" " A few days ago." "It's weird, huh?" " LaFleur..." " We don't have time." "I need you to take me to Jack's, right now." " Jack, how did you get back?" " Faraday?" "What the..." "How did you do it?" "How did you get back to the island?" " Where have you been?" " At Dharma headquarters in Ann Arbor." "Doing research." "What's important right now..." "How did you get back here?" "To 1977?" " What's going on?" " Don't look at me." " I just carried his luggage." " Jack, how?" " We were on a plane, and..." " Who told you to get on a plane?" "As a matter of fact, Dan, it was your mother." "And how did she convince you, Jack?" "Did she tell you it was your destiny?" "Yeah." "That's exactly what she said." "Well, I've got some bad news for you, Jack." "You don't belong here at all." "She was wrong." "What's wrong, Mom?" "Didn't you like it?" "I loved it." "It was beautiful, Daniel." "Daniel..." "Do you know what destiny means?" " No." " Destiny means that if one has a special gift then it must be nurtured." "How many beats has that metronome counted since you started playing?" "Eight hundred sixty-four." "Your gift, Daniel, is your mind." "A mind that is meant for science, mathematics." "And it's my job to keep you on your path." "So unfortunately, there's no more time for distractions." "But I want to keep playing the piano." "I can do both." "I can make time." "If only you could." "Miles, I need you to bring me to the Orchid." "Can you drive me now?" " Sure, I guess." " Thank you." "Come on." " Faraday, wait up!" " Be right back." "What did you mean, your mother was wrong?" " Daniel!" " I just have an errand to run." "Be right back!" " Yeah?" " Faraday's back." " What do you mean?" "Why?" " I have no idea." "He came in on the sub." "He woke me up, he started talking nonsense." "And then he took off to the Orchid." "I'd love to trade theories about this, but I'm a little busy." "What are you busy with at 6:00 in the morning?" "James, tell him." "Get in here." "Phil, one of my security guys, got himself a videotape of me and Kate taking the kid out to the Hostiles." " And where's the tape?" " With Phil." "And where's Phil?" "Phil, Jack." "Jack, Phil." "Are we waiting for something?" "Right on time." "I'll be back in ten minutes." " So what do you want me to do?" " You're gonna do nothing." "If you drill one centimeter further, you risk releasing that energy." "If that were to happen, God help us all." "Hey!" "You need a hard hat down here." " Watch yourself!" " Sorry, sir, won't happen again." "I'll grab the rest of the stuff." "Let's go." "Did you hear that?" "Time travel." "How stupid does that guy think we are?" "Dr. Chang?" "Dr. Chang, do you have a second, sir?" "I suppose." "I just came in on the sub with the Swan team." "We met three years ago." " I'm Daniel Faraday." " You arrived with LaFleur." "I remember." "What can I do for you?" "I need you to order the evacuation of every man, woman and child on this island." "Why would I do that?" "Because that man is on a stretcher as a consequence of the electromagnetic activity that your drilling unleashed down here." "Which is now contained." "It's contained down here." "But in about six hours, the same thing is going to happen at the site for the Swan station, only the energy there is about 30,000 times more powerful." "And the accident..." "it's gonna be catastrophic." "That is utterly absurd." "What could possibly qualify you to make that prediction?" "I'm from the future." "Dr. Chang, wait." "Will you wait one second?" "Yes, yes, you're from the future." "You heard me talking about time travel." " You've had your fun, good for you." " No, please, Dr. Chang." "Just look at my journal, please." "Look at these equations." "Some of them won't be discovered for another 20 years." " Hey, hey, hey!" " Dr. Chang..." "Leave the man alone." "Sorry, he had too many drugs on the sub..." "Dr. Chang." "Miles is your son." " Excuse me?" " Think about it." "A Chinese man named Miles, the same name as your baby, shows up with me from the future." "You really think this is all coincidence?" " Is this true?" " No." " Please stay away from me." " Dr. Chang..." " Dr. Chang, if you..." " Hey, hey!" "Are you out of your mind?" "What are you doing?" "I'm making sure your father does what he's supposed to do." "And what's that?" "You'll see." "Hi, Mom." "I want you to meet Theresa." " Dan's told me so much..." " Pleased to meet you." "Well done, Daniel." "You must be so proud." "Daniel, I thought we could celebrate your accomplishment with lunch." "There's a nice restaurant nearby." "I've reserved us a table." "We'd love to." "Actually, I was hoping it would be just the two of us." "You do understand, don't you?" "I don't get to see my son very often." " Mother..." " I understand." "It's OK, Dan, really." "Is there something bothering you, Daniel?" " You were so rude to Theresa." " Was I?" " Theresa is my girlfriend." " She is your research assistant." "You should be focusing your energies on your work." " On my work." " Yes." "That is what is important." "Yes, you've made it abundantly clear." " Why would I waste my gift on a woman?" " I'm sorry to tell you, Daniel, but you're not going to have time for relationships." "The women in your life will only be terribly hurt." "What does that mean?" "It means your work will always come first, that's all." "Only because that's what you've pushed me to do." "You pushed and pushed." "When will it be enough, Mother?" "When?" "I'm the youngest doctorate to ever graduate from Oxford." "I just a got a new 1 .5 million pound research grant." " What else do I have to do?" " A grant?" "That's wonderful." "From whom?" "I don't know, Mom." "Some industrialist." "Widmore, I think." "Charles Widmore." "I don't want to fight with you, Daniel." "That's not why I came." "Why did you come?" "To congratulate you." "Good luck, Daniel." "And I do hope you know that I mean that." "All right, people... party's over." "I know y'all just showed up, but the rest of us have been here for the past three years." "This is our home." "Last thing I wanna do is leave." "But we ain't got no choice." "That dude in the closet, can't you convince him" " it was all a misunderstanding?" " I punched him in the face, Hugo." "What am I supposed to say?" ""My fist slipped?"" "How much time do we have before someone realizes he's gone?" " Not enough." " So where do we go?" "We only got two options." "We can either commandeer the sub, get off this island before anyone knows we're gone, or we can head back in the jungle, start from square one." "I'm not getting on that sub if there's a chance my wife is still on this island." "Yeah, me neither." "After all we did to get back here, now we're just gonna run off again?" "Seems kinda wishy-washy." "Right." "That's two votes for square one." "Anybody else...?" "Hold your horses." "Be right there." " Hey, James." " Welcome to the meeting, Twitchy." "Good to see you." "Pound cake in the kitchen." "Help yourself to the punch." " He still crazy?" " It's on a whole new level, man." "Great." "Jack, I'm sorry if I was rude before, but what I came to do is of critical importance to everyone in this room." "Does anyone know where I can find the Hostiles?" "Why do you need to know that, Daniel?" "Because one of them is my mother." "And she is the only person on this island who can get us back to where we belong." "This haunting footage comes to us from the Christiane 1, a salvage vehicle..." " How do you want your eggs?" " For more than two months," " it's been scouring the depths..." " What?" "They found that missing plane?" "...the long-missing Oceanic Flight 815..." "Dan?" "Dan, why are you so upset?" "...verified what the National Transportation Safety Board..." "I don't know." "...which disappeared after departing Sydney, Australia, on September 22, 2004." "You have a visitor, Dan." " Would you like some tea?" " That would be lovely." "Hello, Daniel." "I'm sorry, sir, I don't..." "Did Caroline tell ya?" "I have a condition that affects my memory..." "Don't be embarrassed." "We've never met." "My name is Charles Widmore." "Charles Widmore from my research grants?" "It's very nice to meet you, sir." "Please sit down." "A bit of a mess." "I meant to thank you before I left Oxford..." "You mean before you were dismissed." " I tested that on myself first." " It's all right, Daniel." " I would never hurt Theresa..." " Please, it's all right." "That's not why I'm here." "I came to offer you a new opportunity." "No, I..." "I'm sorry, I can't." "I don't think I can..." "Did I say something to upset you?" "It's this plane crash." "I don't know why it's bothering me so much." "It's just so sad they're dead." "Daniel, what if I told you they're not dead?" "What if I told you the plane was a fake?" "An elaborate, expensive fake?" "How would you know that?" "Because I put it there." "Why would you tell me that?" "Because come tomorrow, you won't remember I did." "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." "And more importantly, it will heal you, Daniel." "Your mind." "Your memory." "Heal me?" "Why are you doing all this for me?" "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." "Your mother is an Other?" "You met her when the island was skipping, back in 1954." " They were calling her Ellie." " You guys were in 1954?" "Like..." "Fonzie times?" " Why do you need to find her?" " I just need to talk to her." "I thought we were supposed to lay low?" " Just tell me where they are..." " I'm not tellin' you, and you ain't goin' anywhere unless you wanna share what you're doing." "Sawyer, he said he can get us back to where we belong." "Whether we go on the sub or head back into the jungle we don't belong here." "Well, I belonged here just fine until you came back, Doc." "You know where the Hostiles are?" " What?" " You and Sawyer took Ben out to them." " Can you get us back out there?" " Hold on a second." "Don't say a word." "She can say what she wants to say." "Kate, you made me promise to never ask what happened to Aaron, or why you came back here." "But I know that reason, it isn't here." "It's not now." "Whatever her reason is, helping H.G. Wells here talk to his mommy ain't got nothin' to do with it." "Come with us, Freckles." "The code for the fence is 1-4-1-7-1-7." "You should take Daniel." "It's over here for us, anyway." "OK." " Let's go." " Great." "Great, thank you." "Hey, Miles, can you drive us?" "When you realize you've made a huge mistake, we'll be back at the beach." "Right where we started." "All right, the rest of us..." "pack anything you can carry, meet back here in 20 minutes." "Time to go." "These people are not gonna be happy to see us." "Might be a good idea to bring some guns." "There's a gun safe in the motor pool, but it's locked." "Good thing I'm a janitor, then." "Hey, Dan?" "I'll meet you at the motor pool." "I need just a minute, OK?" "I'm not allowed to have chocolate before dinner." "It's OK, sweetheart." "I won't tell." "My name's Charlotte." "What's yours?" "I'm Daniel." "I'm new here." "Listen..." "Do you know Dr. Chang?" "Yeah?" "Hopefully really soon, Dr. Chang is gonna ask a bunch of people to get on the submarine and leave the island." "When he does, you and your mommy you're gonna have to leave." "In case what I do doesn't work, you cannot be here." "You have to leave." "I tried to avoid telling you this." "I didn't think I could change things." "But maybe I can." "How long will it take us to get there?" "We can take the road until we hit the pylons, but in their territory, we gotta go on foot." "You have something for a beginner?" "Let's go." "That's ready to go." "What's going on here?" "Aren't you one of the physicists off the sub?" "Yeah, that's right." "We were just..." "You're supposed to be at the Swan site." "Right." "There was an accident at the Orchid station." " Dr. Chang asked us to help..." " He's got a gun!" "I just left Dr. Chang." "He's at home with his wife and baby." "You're lying." "Now drop the guns and get down on the ground!" "Listen to me." "You really do not understand what's happening." "You have no idea." "We have no time." "We have to leave." "All right?" "We're just gonna leave, OK?" "Nobody's..." "Are you OK?" "We can make it to the jeep." "All right." "I'll cover you." "Dan?" "You go, too." "All right?" "Go, go, go!" "Sound the alarm!" "Hello, Daniel." "Mother." "When did you get here?" "I just arrived." "I would've called you, but..." "I would've forgotten anyway." "I hear you have been offered a job." " How do you know that?" " It's my business to know." "I came here, Daniel, to tell you that it is very important that you say "yes" to Mr. Widmore." "That you accept this opportunity." "I can't." "He needs someone who can do really complex space-time calibrations and calculate bearings, and I just..." "I don't know how to do that anymore." "Daniel..." "This place he mentioned to you, this island did he tell you that it could make you better?" "What if it's true?" "Then you could go on with your work." "Just think of all you could accomplish." "You really want me to go?" "Yes." "Will it make you proud of me?" "Yes, Daniel." "It will." "Then I'll do it." " You remember the code?" " Yeah, I got it." "I'm gonna take a look at that." "Yeah, good." "It's just a graze." " This is gonna sting." " Yeah." "Yeah, you're gonna be fine." "Guess I'm lucky." "What's luck have to do with it?" "Thought whatever happened, happened?" "You gotta understand, Jack, this is our present." "When we met, did I have a scar on my neck?" "No." "Because I hadn't been shot yet." "We can't be so naive as to think nothing can happen to us." "Any one of us can die, Jack." "OK, it's off." "Thanks." " Which way?" " Just a couple miles in." "You think he knows what he's doing?" "Sure hope so." "There's no turning back now." "You called it the minute those yahoos got here." "I should've listened to you." " You can say, "I told you so."" " Maybe after we get to the beach." "Hey..." "You still got my back?" "You still got mine?" "That's not good, right?" "LaFleur!" " Where have you been?" " Take it easy, Stu." " What the hell's going on?" " I just got shot by a physicist and the new recruits are helping him." "We've been infiltrated." "That's ridiculous." "Now just calm down and we can talk about this." " What was that?" " Sounded like it was from outside." "Get down on the ground, now." "I said now!" "Thank you." "You need a gun to go talk to your mother, Dan?" "You don't know my mother, Jack." "You ready to tell me why she was wrong?" "Why we don't belong here?" "In about four hours, the Dharma folks at the Swan worksite, they're gonna drill into the ground and accidentally tap a massive pocket of energy." "The result of the release of this energy will be catastrophic." "So, in order to contain it, they're gonna cement the entire area in, like Chernobyl." "And this 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 is gonna start happening this afternoon." "But, we can change that." "I've studied relativistic physics my entire life." "One thing emerged, over and over." "You can't change the past." "Can't do it." "Whatever happened, happened." "But then, I finally realized..." "I had been spending so much time focused on the constants" "I forgot about the variables." "Know what the variables in these equations are?" " 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." "Daniel Faraday?" "Your son is Daniel Faraday?" "Yes." "That's the man who sent Desmond to Los Angeles to find you?" "That's right." "I came, Penelope, to apologize." "Your husband has become a casualty in a conflict that's bigger than him, bigger than any of us." "What do you mean?" "Is Des going to be OK?" "I don't know." "For the first time in a long time," "I don't know what's going to happen next." " Mrs. Hume?" " Yes?" "Your husband's in the recovery room and he's asking for you." " The recovery room?" " He's doing fine." "Come with me." "This nurse will watch your son." "Hi." "Hi." "I thought I'd lost you." "I promised you, Penny." "I promised you I'd never leave you again." "Is he all right?" "Yes, Charles." "He's fine." "Good." "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..." "He was my son too, Eloise." "This is a mistake." "He's talking about erasing everything that's ever happened to us." "It's insane." "We disappeared off a plane in midair and ended up in 1977." "I'm getting kinda used to insane." "Wish me luck." " Wait..." " Let him go." "Back up." "Step away." "It's OK." "Nobody move!" "I only want to speak to Eloise." "Where is Eloise?" "Come on, where is she?" "I'm sorry, but..." "She's not here right now." "Do we know each other?" "It doesn't matter." "I need you to take me to Eloise." "I already told you, she's not here." "Where's the bomb, Richard?" "The hydrogen bomb I told you to bury." "Where is it?" "Listen to me." "Lower your gun and we'll talk." "Nobody has to get hurt here." " Just put the gun down." " I'm gonna give you three seconds." " One..." " Don't do this." "Two!" " Why did you do that?" " He had a gun on you." "He wasn't gonna shoot, Eloise." "Eloise?" "You knew." "You always knew." "You knew this was gonna happen and you sent me here anyway." "Who are you?" "I'm your son."
