Lost: A Journey in Time Page #2

didn't really exist.

But he's very steadfast in his

decision to leave the island.

I don't think we did the

right thing, Jack.

Hurley ...

- It's gonna do everything it can ...

- We're never going back!

He's not a guy who

changes his mind often,

but then something very

significant happened,

and that's that John Locke

is off the island.

Locke returned to civilization three

years after the Oceanic Six came home.

What are you doing here?

- We have to go back.

- Of course we do.

Jack, the people I left

behind need our help.

Because it's our destiny.

How many times are you

gonna say that to me, John?

Jack says, "I'm not gonna

pay attention to you".

- And Locke says ...

- You're father says hello.

What?

The man who told me

how to bring you all back?

He said to tell his son hello.

He said his name was Christian.

My father is dead.

- He didn't look dead to me.

- I put him in the coffin!

He's dead.

This really emotionally devastates Jack,

and this changes his entire attitude,

so he starts flying again,

hoping that he'll crash.

Then he learns

that Locke has died.

Jack began to realize that going

back to the real world was a mistake.

We ... were not supposed to leave.

Yes, we were.

That this thing

that he had wanted,

not only for himself but

for all the other characters,

maybe that wasn't the

best thing for him.

And it's Locke's death that catalyzes

Jack to return to the island.

Hello, Jack.

Didn't mean to scare you.

Did he tell you that I

was off the island?

He told me that after I left the island,

some very bad things happened.

And he told me that it was

my fault for leaving.

And he said that I had

to come back.

All of you have to go back.

We're gonna

have to bring him, too.

The day the Oceanic Six

left the island,

John Locke was appointed

the leader of the Others.

Hello, John.

Welcome home.

But his new position

did not last long.

Richard? Richard?!

Time Travel

There's a lot of mystery

surrounding the idea

of exactly what

is skipping through time.

Is it the island?

Is it the people on the island?

When the sky lit up,

where did you go?

I didn't go anywhere, John.

You went.

Here's what we know ...

There is a donkey wheel

in a very, very cold place

down below the Orchid station.

We know that when you turn it,

the island moves.

When the island disappeared it

was basically set off its axis,

and it started skipping through time.

Next time we see each other,

I'm not gonna recognize you.

You give me this.

It's a compass.

The only way to save the island,

John, is to get your people back here.

- How am I supposed to do that?

- You're gonna have to die, John.

Time travel had existed

on the show earlier.

We saw Desmond's consciousness

travel in the episode "The Constant".

Hey, hey. You okay?

We've had Sayid listening to

a transmission from the 1940s.

- It could be coming from anywhere.

- Or anytime.

But in this season, time travel

becomes much more overt.

Whatever Ben Linus did down at

the Orchid station dislodged us.

- Dislodged us from what?

- Time.

Our characters

have these encounters

with things that took place

in the island's past.

And none is any more significant than

Sawyer wandering through the jungle,

- seeing Kate helping Claire give birth.

- Come on, Claire! Push!

And this is an incredibly powerful,

emotional moment for him.

And we realize

that is also the night

that Locke first saw this light

shining out of the hatch.

That light in the sky ... It was

from the hatch, wasn't it?

The night that Boone died,

I was confused, scared.

The light came on

and shot up into the sky.

At the time, I thought it meant

something. It was just a light.

All these things are

happening for a reason.

So to tamper with them,

it's kinda like cheating.

I needed that pain

to get to where I am now.

And this is just a very Lockeian,

philosophical way

of saying the same thing

that Faraday's saying.

You can not change anything.

You can't.

If we try to do anything

different, we will fail.

Whatever happened, happened.

We discover that Jin basically

survived the explosion of the freighter

and he washed up on the shore and

was rescued by these French people.

- You Danielle Rousseau?

- Yes. That's right.

This is a young Rousseau

who's pregnant with Alex,

and we discover the things

that ended up driving her mad.

You!

- Jin?

- Sawyer?

- Well, what do you say?

- Where is Sun?

Our characters also find themselves

getting attacked by these flaming arrows.

Run!

And it turns out that the people who

are massacring them are the Others.

But it's not the Others that have been

terrorizing us in the present of the island.

- This is the 1954 version of the Others.

- What are you doing on our island?!

And what's cool about this is we

meet Charles Widmore as a teenager.

Your name is Widmore?

Charles Widmore?

What's it to you?

We also meet this young

blonde woman named Ellie.

Who are you and what are you

doing on our island?

Daniel Faraday asked her

to bring him out to this bomb

that's called "Jughead".

It's a hydrogen bomb.

And he tells her it's very dangerous,

it's leaking radiation.

You need to take it off this

platform carefully and bury it.

Is that why they moved to 1954?

It feels like everywhere they move to,

none of those moves were arbitrary.

Every one of them had significance.

I expect you to tell me how

to get off the island.

- That's very privileged information.

- Oh, no.

They land someplace,

and a few minutes later,

there's a bright flash of light.

There's this incredible noise.

They disappear, and they find

themselves in another point in time.

And it's causing enormous

problems for our characters.

Our brains have an internal

clock, a sense of time.

The flashes throw the clock off.

If you fly to a different time zone,

you're sort of off your axis.

But when you do it traveling

through time, it's much worse.

In fact, it can be fatal.

We have to go back to the Orchid.

Ben used it to leave the island,

and if I can do the same thing,

I believe I can save us.

Hello, John. I'm here to

help you the rest of the way.

It's Locke's genius idea

to go turn the wheel again.

If that's what got them into this problem,

maybe that's the way it'll get them out.

Say hello to my son.

Sure enough, that works.

It puts the island back on its axis.

I think it's over.

I think John did it.

But the survivors were left

stranded on the island in 1974,

and spent the next three years

with the Dharma Initiative.

Locke went on

a far different journey

when he was transported to the Tunisian

desert three years in the future to 2007.

John, my name is Charles Widmore.

I met you when I was 17.

How long has it been for you

since we first met?

- Four days.

- That's incredible.

Widmore wanted to get back to the island,

so he helped Locke find his friends.
