"Help! I need some help! Help!" I hear a voice call from the beach. I run out of my tent and Bernard is at the shore of the ocean, Vincent barking at his side. I run toward him, noticing most of the camp, and Jack and Kate doing the same. "The dog was barking. I didn't see him," Bernard explains.

In the water, a body washes up in the water. Jack, Bernard, and Jin help me pull it ashore.

"Do you know who this is?" Jack asks Daniel and Charlotte, who have shown up with everyone else.

"He was on our boat," Dan answers. "He's the doctor."

Jack bends down to examine the doctor's body. "His throat was slit. Know anything about that?"

"No," Dan says. "Uh, he was fine when I last saw him."

"Which was when?"

"When? 'When' is kind of a relative term."

"We don't know anything about this," Charlotte says.

"Any luck fixing the sat phone?" I ask Dan.

"Uh, yeah. Sorry, no. The, uh, the mic was smashed up pretty good. Best-case scenario, we'd only be able to broadcast tone squelch. Beeps and boops."

"Well, yeah, but you could still use it as sort of a telegraph, right?" Bernard asks.

"If I had some strips of ferrous metal, uh, a 9-volt battery clip and some wiring."

"We got a bunch of stuff that we salvaged from the plane," Kate says. "I'll show you where it is."

The rest of the camp disperses, leaving me with Jack, Bernard, and Charlotte. "Bernard, you got a second?" Jack asks him.

Jack leads Bernard away from Charlotte. I follow them. "What do you know about telegraphs?" Jack asks Bernard.

"Um, not much about building them, but I do know Morse Code. Learned it for fun when I was a kid."

"What about you?" Jack asks me.

"Morse Code? Don't know it. Never had to learn."

"Alright, here's the plan. When Faraday sends whatever signal he's going to send, Bernard, I need you to be there. Don't let anyone know that you know Morse Code. If he tells the truth, fine. But if not, we need to call him out on it."

"Got it," Bernard says.

"I can't believe it," Daniel says as he fiddles with the phone that night in the kitchen. "We might actually have a signal." He starts sending a series of taps through the broken phone.

"What are you sending?" Jack asks.

Dan continues tapping. "What... happened... to... the... doctor?"

A series of taps comes through the other end. Dan nods his head. "Okay. They didn't exactly say what happened to the doctor, but your friends are fine, and the helicopter's coming back in the morning."

Jack turns to Bernard. "Well?"

"He's lying," Bernard says, and the camp gasps. "What the message said was, 'What are you talking about? The doctor is fine.'"

"You know Morse code," Dan says nervously.

"What does that mean, 'The doctor is fine'?" Jack says, advancing on Faraday.

"I don't know."

"Why are you lying? Why did you say that the helicopters are coming back?" Jack grabs his shirt as Kate protests. Me? At this point, I've got no problem with violence. "Were you ever gonna take us off this island?" Jack asks.

"No," Faraday says.

Jack lets go of his shirt, looking defeated. He starts to walk away, but then collapses in pain, holding his side and grunting.

"Jack," Kate exclaims, going to help him. But he pushes her away, regaining his footing and walks towards his tent, clutching his side.

I recognize the spot he's clutching, and it is not good.
