Lost: A Journey in Time Page #5

---

through this experience,

there is a tremendous amount

of faith and confidence.

What he's up to,

we don't know.

Locke is a mystery again,

like he was when we first met him.

How is it that you know

where you're going?

And that's kind of a very

exciting place for him to be.

I just know.

John Locke seems to have a far superior

sense of communication with the island,

and this really makes

Benjamin Linus very upset.

I've seen this island

do miraculous things,

but never once has it done

anything like this.

So the fact that John Locke is

walking around this island ...

scares the living hell out of me.

For Hurley, the '70s were a chance

to make the world a better place.

I made lunch for the crew.

- You're waiting for the next van.

- Why don't we carpool?

It'll help with global warming,

which hasn't happened yet.

So maybe we can prevent it.

Hurley is really going with

the flow here in Dharma times.

When he first arrives, he's very

confused about time travel ...

Okay, answer me this.

which we think makes him a lot like

the people who are watching the show.

If all this already happened to me,

why don't I remember any of it?

Because our experiences

in the past and the future

occurred before

these experiences right now.

Say that again.

But once he sort of gets

into the groove of things,

he becomes a Dharma chef.

He starts cooking.

Don't forget to try the dipping sauces.

They really bring out the ham.

And he's working on

a side project,

which is that he's writing

"The empire strikes back".

George Lucas is gonna

be looking for a sequel,

so I figured, make life easier

and send him the script ...

with a couple improvements.

And there's this big mystery

hovering over Hurley, which is,

why did he come back to the island?

How did he know about Ajira flight 316?

What's up with that guitar case?

What is his mission really?

The fact that the numbers brought him

here, that he may have been cursed.

Oh, hold on a minute.

It's smudged.

- 42.

- 42!

- How the hell did you know that?

- They're building our hatch.

And Hurley becomes

friends with Miles,

and he discovers that Miles is

actually the son of Pierre Chang,

who is the star of these

Dharma orientation films.

Third day we were here,

I was on line at the cafeteria,

and my mother got in line behind me.

That was my first clue.

And Hurley sort of takes it upon himself

to get these two characters back together.

We should all get together for a beer

sometime. How awesome would that be?

- As Hurley made new friends ...

- We got a hostile inside the perimeter.

another Ajira passenger

had a far different experience.

Unlike the other characters who jumped

back into 1977, Sayid is separated,

and he is not able to get indoctrinated

into the Dharma Initiative.

- Sayid?

- Jin.

Shut up!

He's out in the jungle and is

captured by the Dharma Initiative.

I'm sorry, Sayid.

He meets this young kid

who comes to bring him food ...

I'm Ben.

none other

than Benjamin Linus.

How you doing?

A 12-year-old Ben Linus brought

me a chicken salad sandwich.

- How do you think I'm doing?

- Sweet kid, huh?

There are two fundamental ways

to look at time travel ...

You can change the future,

or you can't change the future.

And Sayid, all of a sudden, a light bulb

goes off in his head and he says,

"I know now why I came

back to this island".

I think I can help you.

He thinks that,

"If I kill Benjamin Linus",

just like if someone

were to kill young Hitler,

that person won't grow up to be

the bad guy that they grew up to be,

- and that he can change things.

- I really hate it here.

He wins young Ben's confidence.

He gets young Ben to help him escape.

Sayid repays him by shooting Ben.

Which leads one to believe that this

is where Ben's trust issues were born.

Doc, I need you to come with me.

The kid's losing blood.

We need you to show us

where he sprung a leak.

No.

If you don't come with me,

Jack, that kid's gonna die.

Then he dies.

Jack seems very willing to sort

of let fate and destiny guide him,

in a way,

and not be willful anymore.

He's just a boy, Jack.

You can't just let him die.

When we were here before, I spent

all of my time trying to fix things.

But did you ever think that maybe the

island just wants to fix things itself?

Jack has become this man of faith,

and he has this sort of Zen-like quality.

- I liked the old you.

- You didn't like the old me, Kate.

- We can't just sit here and do nothing.

- Maybe there's something they can do.

The Others.

And lo and behold!

Kate saves Ben.

If I take him, he's not ever

gonna be the same again.

He will always be one of us.

You still want me to take him?

Yes.

So Ben ends up living

and becoming Ben.

Ben, I'd appreciate

it if you joined us.

What, John, don't you trust

me here with my former people?

Afraid I'll stage a coup?

I'm not afraid of anything

you can do anymore, Ben.

Now that Locke's

back on the island,

he's got an agenda to go

and find Alpert and the Others.

- I brought dinner.

- John?

Who's that man he's talking to?

He's a kind of advisor.

His name is Richard Alpert.

Richard Alpert is

a very interesting character.

It's clear that he's been on this island

for a long time, and he doesn't age.

You do remember birthdays,

don't you, Richard?

And one of the most important

things about Alpert right now

is he's the only character on

the show who's in both times.

He's in 1977.

He's also in 2007.

- I am the leader now.

- Yes, John, that's right.

Good, then I would like you

to take me to Jacob.

- We all answer to someone, John.

- And whom might that be?

His name is Jacob.

There is this larger

spiritual presence

that the people on the

island refer to as Jacob.

- Jacob wanted it done.

- Jacob talks to me, John.

We've seen apparitions

that may or may not be Jacob.

That was Jacob.

If we've met Jacob,

we haven't been told that.

- Are you Jacob?

- I'm Christian.

When we met Christian Shephard,

for example, in the cabin,

he says, "I'm speaking

on behalf of Jacob".

No one else has ever seen him.

- That's right.

- How convenient.

For some time, you all have been

accepting orders from a man named Jacob.

And John Locke says, "I'm very curious

about a lot of things on this island

and why Jacob is asking us to do

the things that we've been doing".

"And once we have

that conversation,

I think I'll be able to lead

you a lot more effectively".

So I'm gonna go and see Jacob, and

I'd like all of you to come with me.

I'm starting to think

John Locke is gonna be trouble.

Why do you think

I tried to kill him?

I'm here to follow you now,

so if you need Jacob to help you reunite

your people, then I'll do whatever ...

I'm not interested in being

reuniting with my people.

Then why are we going to Jacob?

So I can kill him.

- Hey, can I get a hand with this?

- Yeah, yeah. Sure.

After a 3-year absence, Daniel
