Dan (knocking at the hatch back door):
Please, please, please. Let this work.

(The door opens, Desmond comes out and aims at Dan with a rifle)

Dan:
Don't shoot.

Desmond:

Desmond (slowly lowering the rifle):

Dan:

Desmond:

Dan:
Listen, I need you to listen, or people are gonna die. My name is Daniel Faraday, and right now me and everyone else you left behind. We're in serious danger. You're the only person who can help us. I need you to go back to Oxford University. Go back to where we met. I need you to go there and find my mother. Her name is...

(The sky flashes and Desmond wakes up in his bed)
