Alvar Hanso,
whose financial backing made their dream
of a multi-purpose social science
research facility a reality.
You and your partner are currently
located in Station Three, or "The Swan",
and will be for the next 540 days.
Station Three was originally constructed
as a laboratory
where scientists
could work to understand
the unique electromagnetic fluctuations
emanating from this sector
of the island.
Not long after the experiments began,
however, there was... an incident.
Since that time, the following
protocol has been observed.
Every 1 08 minutes,
the button must be pushed.
From the moment the alarm sounds,
you will have four minutes to enter the
code into the microcomputer processor...
... induction into the programme.
When the alarm sounds, either you
or your partner must input the code.
It is highly recommended that you and
your partner take alternating shifts.
In this manner,
you will both stay as fresh and alert...
... utmost importance
that when the alarm sounds,
the code be entered correctly
and in a timely fashion.
Do not attempt to use
the computer for anything...
Congratulations!
Until your replacements arrive, the
future of the project is in your hands.
On behalf of the DeGroots, Alvar Hanso,
and all of us at the Dharma Initiative,
thank you, namaste,
and good luck.
We're gonna need to watch that again.
What's that?
It's a present. It's been six months.
Sort of an anniversary, right?
- I didn't get you anything.
- That's OK.
Only cost me a buck.
It's to my place.
Thought you might be tired of knocking.
Well, Helen, l...
I don't know what to say.
There's just one condition though, John.
When you stay over, you stay over.
What do you mean?
I followed you last night.
To that house that you go to.
Is it your father's house?
Why would you follow me, Helen?
Why would you do that?
You sneak off
in the middle of the night.
I just needed to know
where you were going.
I care about you, John...
But what I do is my business.
It's personal.
I wasted 20 years of my life
being angry.
I told myself I would get over it,
but l... I couldn't do it alone.
I needed to find help.
You help me, John.
And I can help you.
You just have to promise me that you're
not gonna go to that place anymore.
All right.
All right?
You're going to watch that again?
- Aren't you?
- No, John. I'm not.
OK, OK!
You all right, sister?
- Who are you?
- We crashed here.
We were on a plane.
Sydney to Los Angeles...
- What?
- 40 of us made it.
Flight 81 5?
You were on it, too?
What? You were in the back?
- It broke off mid-air, how did you...
- I don't know, I don't know.
The plane came apart
and somebody's fricking hardside came
out of the overhead and knocked me out.
I woke up underwater and...
made my way to the top. Swam to shore.
You been out here by yourself
all this time?
Trying to find food. Making my way,
hoping to find somebody...
And then, yesterday, they found me.
- Who are they?
- You tell me.
Did you see a boy? Ten years old?
They took my son.
No. I'm sorry.
- I'm Ana Lucia.
- Sawyer.
This is Mike.
The quiet Korean guy's Jin.
We're about to be the best thing
that ever happened to you.
How's that?
Next time Shaft opens the cage,
he's gonna get a surprising little
"howdy-doody".
Are you in contact with the people
who made it?
The film?
Are you in contact with anyone?
Do you think I'd be here if I was?
How is it that you didn't know
about the crash? About us?
I push this button every 1 08 minutes.
I don't get out much.
So these replacements...
Kelvin died
waiting for his replacements.
So you don't get out, you don't see
anyone, where's your food come from?
- You really think this is happening?
- Why wouldn't it be?
It says "Quarantine" on the inside
of the hatch to keep you down here,
keep you scared. But you know what?
We've been up there for over 40 days
and no one's gotten sick.
You think this is the
