importance.
Remember, everything that occurs,
no matter how minute or seemingly
unimportant, must be recorded.
Each time a notebook is filled
with the fruits
of your diligent observation,
roll it up, and place it
in one of the containers provided.
Then simply place the container
in the pneumatic tube
and presto,
it will be transported directly to us.
At the end of your eight-hour shift,
proceed to the Pala Ferry,
which will take you back to
the barracks to prepare for your next...
On behalf of the DeGroots, Alvar Hanso,
and all of us here
at The Dharma Initiative, thank you.
Namaste and good luck.
[video recorder clicks]
Would you like to watch that again?
No.
No, I've seen enough.
What are you doing?
I'm taking this back with us.
Why?
Because they may be important.
Important?
I'm sorry. Weren't you just watching
the same thing I was?
Yes, John, and I believe
the work you have been doing
is more important now than ever.
What work?
Pushing the button.
[laughing ruefully]
That's not work. That's a joke.
Rats in a maze with no cheese.
It is work, John. We are being tested.
Tested?
The reason to do it, push the button,
is not because we are told to do so
in a film.
Oh, well.
Well, then, what is the reason, Mr. Eko?
We do it
because we believe we are meant to.
Isn't that the reason
you pushed it, John?
I was never meant to do anything!
Every single second
of my pathetic little life
is as useless as that button!
You think it's important?
You think it's necessary?
It's nothing. It's nothing.
It's meaningless.
And who are you
to tell me that it's not?
That's flight 81 5 leaving from gate 23.
- Thank you.
- [PA] 840 starting to board at gate 16.
[whoosh of jet engines]
- What are you doing here?
- I had to see you.
- Look, your father said...
- I know.
He doesn't want me talking to you,
and I know you probably think I'm crazy,
but I have a message for you
and I promised to deliver it.
A message?
- He says you were a good priest.
- Who says that?
Yemi.
Speaking about my brother is not a joke,
so you should be very careful
what you say next.
I saw him when I was between places.
He said that you would come and see me.
He said even though you were pretending,
you're a good man.
Who put you up to this?
Did your father tell you to do this?
He wants you to know
he will see you soon.
He said that even though you don't have
faith in yourself, he has faith in you.
Why are you doing this to me?
What do you want?
- Why are you doing this to me?
- Is everything... all right?
He has faith in you.
One day you'll believe me.
[PA] Oceanic Airlines flight 815
is now boarding for Los Angeles.
This cross was worn by my brother Yemi.
Yemi was a great man,
a priest, a man of God,
and because I betrayed him,
he was shot and died.
He was placed on a plane
which took off from an airstrip
in Nigeria,
half a world from here.
Then the plane that I was on
crashed on this island.
And somehow, here,
I found my brother again.
I found him in the same plane
that took off from Nigeria,
in the same plane
that lies above us now
that has concealed this place.
And I took this cross from around
Yemi's neck and put it back on mine.
Just as it was on the day
I first took another man's life.
So let me ask you,
how can you say this is meaningless?
I believe the work being done in the
hatch is more important than anything.
If you will not continue
to push the button, John,...
I will.
Can...
Can I talk to her?
Sure.
Hey.
[sniffs] It's Hurley.
Hugo.
I'm sorry I forgot the blankets.
I'm sorry I forgot the blankets.
[wheezes]
Libby?
- [strained] Michael.
- Michael.
He's OK. He made it, Libby.
It's OK. It's all right.
[whimpers]
[short, rapid breaths]
[breaths stop]
[Hurley sobs]
[intermittent beeping
from hatch computer]
[beeping continues]
[beeping continues]
[beeping]-I'm coming, Walt. I'm coming.
- [Jack] Locke.
John.
Stay in there. Stay...
