was in the army,
for God's sake!
Oh, right. Her Majesty's Army, correct?
Tell me, Desmond, why did you leave
that nice old lady's army?
Oh, I remember now. You got kicked out
because you couldn't follow orders.
And why did you leave your army,
Kelvin, huh?
Because men followed my orders.
But then, thank God,
I joined the Dharma lnitiative.
"Namaste, thank you, and good luck."
Ha, ha, ha.
Please, Kelvin.
Let me go out. Just once.
Sorry, Des. You stay here.
You push the button. That's an order.
John! Look, seriously,
you're about to be detonated!
Hey. What if John's right?
Maybe it's just some colossal joke.
You know, it's just
some old computer connected to nothing.
Maybe it's just a bunch of wires that...
Is that a joke?
I'll see myself out.
[Eko] John!
This is your last chance to end this.
Open the door, and I will forgive you.
Forgive me for what?
Hey.
Hey, Eko? Wait.
Just wait a second.
I don't...
I don't think it's a good idea, Eko.
We're in a very confined area.
Oh, bollocks.
[alarm sounding]
Kelvin!
Hey, Kelvin!
[muffled singing]
[sighs]
I couldn't do it.
I couldn't do it.
What is this?
This is the only other way out, partner.
- What are you talking about?
- Fail-safe.
Just turn this key,
and this all goes away.
What's behind that wall, Kelvin?
Huh?
What was the incident?
Electromagnetism. Geologically unique.
The incident? It was a leak.
So now the charge builds up
and every time we push the button,
it discharges it.
Before it gets too big.
Why make us do it? Push the button?
If we can just...
[laughing]
Now here's the real question, Desmondo:
Do you have the courage
to take your finger out of the dam,
blow the whole thing up instead?
I think your friends
just blew themselves up, brother.
They're not my friends.
I can't hear anything.
Maybe we should open it.
No! No. It's a trick.
A trick? They could be hurt.
Is your doctor around?
Well, our doctor is...
God knows where.
I... And he sure as hell doesn't care
about anything happening down here.
- Can I ask you a question, brother?
- Absolutely.
Is the reason
you're letting that clock there
run all the way down
to the very last tick...
Is it because you need
to look down the barrel of a gun...
...and find out
what you really believe, John?
I looked down the barrel of the gun.
And I believed.
I thought...
...it was my destiny
to get into this... place.
And somebody died. A kid.
Because he was stupid enough to believe
that I knew what I was talking about.
And on the night he died for nothing,
I was sitting right up there all alone,
beating my hand bloody
against that... stupid door.
Screaming to the heavens,
asking what should I do.
And then a light went on.
I thought it was a sign.
But it wasn't a sign.
Probably just you
going to the bathroom.
[knocking]
Jack.
What are they?
It's handwritten.
And it's all filled. The whole book.
They're journal entries.
"0400. S.R. moves
Ping-Pong table again.
041 5. Takes a shower." What is this?
Hey, doc?
What'd you say Sayid's sign was when the
coast was clear to hit that beach party?
That means he found them, right?
[Jack] That's miles from here.
- Where were you taking us?
- What?
Sayid said he'd light the signal
so we'd meet him at the shore.
- Why aren't we going to the beach?
- We are.
- We're nowhere near the beach!
- I had to.
- What?
- l...
[indistinct whispering]
- [electric buzzing]
- [Kate] Sawyer!
[grunting]
Run! Go! Go!
Hold on. Wait!
Ah! Ah!
[grunting]
Tell me about this other hatch
you found. This... Pearl.
- What do you want to know?
- Details.
The Pearl is a psychological station
full of TV monitors.
And two men sat in viewing chairs
and filled notebooks with observations
on what happens in here.
And then they put
the notebooks in pneumatic tubes
that sent them to their headquarters
so they could evaluate us
as an experiment.
Jeez...
What?
- What if you've got it
