"Jack!" Sayid screams after escaping from Danielle. "We're not alone!"
"They've attacked us!" Locke yells. "Sabotaged us. Abducted us. Murdered us. Maybe we should stop worrying about us, and start worrying more about them!"
"Did you ever find out where they got their power?" Hurley asks.
"Power?" Danielle replies.
"Don't you know? The numbers. They're cursed. They bring bad luck to all of the ones around you."
"Oh no!" Hurley says when he sees the cursed numbers on the hatch. "Stop it! Stop it! We can't! Stop! Don't light it!"
However Locke lights the fuse anyway, destroying the hatch.
"How many of your group has gotten sick?" Desmond asks.
"Sick?" Locke replies.
"Sick! As in ill, as in dead!"
"Is that why it says Quarantine on the inside of the hatch."
"Answer the question!"
"No one is sick."
"She started having a fever then she had hallucinations." Henry said. "Then she died."
"My boat crashed into the reef, and then Kelvin came!" Desmond cried.
"Kelvin?" Locke asks.
"Kelvin. He comes running out of the jungle 'Hurry, hurry! Come with me!.' He brings me down here. First thing he does, because it's already beeping, he types in the code, he pushes the button, and it stops! 'What was that all about?' I say. 'Just saving the world' he says. Then Kelvin died, and now I am here all alone."
"You and your partner are currently located at Station 3, or the Swan, and will be for the next 540 days." Says the man in the Orientation. "Station 3 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. And since that time, the following protocol has been observed. Every 108 minutes, the button must be pushed. From the moment the alarm sounds, you will have 4 minutes to enter the code into the microcomputer processor. 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 stay as fresh and alert, but of the most importance, when the alarm sounds, the code be entered in completely and in a timely fashion."
Locke desperately tries to input the code in time. However, the timer hits zero and begins to show unusual hieroglyphic symbols. Fortunately, Locke manages to punch in the code before seeing what else will happen.
-End Flashback-
Jack decided to take a small stroll in the woods. Clear his thoughts. Thinking about the Others. Thinking about the hatch. Thinking about how Sawyer took all of the guns. Not to mention, where the hell they were. Then suddenly, he hears a rustle in the bushes. He turns around, expecting to see a fellow survivor of Oceanic Flight 815. Instead, he sees someone else entirely.
A man in worn out clothes and shaggy hair. He was slightly dirty. He was out of breath.
"Who are you?" asked the man.
"I was just about to ask you the same thing." Jack replied.
The man points an automatic rifle at Jack.
"Answer the question."
Suddenly, the man collapses. Behind him is Ana Lucia, with a wooden club.
"Looks like we caught a live one." Ana Lucia said. "Let's see if he could tell us anything about them."
