Lost, Season Five

[In flashback to mid-late 2004, Faraday is being looked after by a carer in his flat while he is watching footage informing the public that the wreckage of Flight 815 has been found in the Sunda Trench]

On TV:
These pictures come from a research vessel off the coast of Indonesia...

Faraday's Carer:
How do want your eggs Dan?

[Dan is crying at the footage being shown on the TV]

Faraday's Carer:
Dan whats the matter? Why are you so upset?

Faraday:
I don't know...

[There is a knock at the door, Dan's carer goes to answer, Charles Widmore enters]

Faraday's Carer:
Hello come in. Can I get you a cup of tea?

Charles Widmore:
Thank you that would be nice.

Faraday's Carer:
Dan you have a visitor.

[Faraday gets out of his chair and in a confused manner he shakes Widmore's hand]

Charles Widmore:
Hello Daniel.

Faraday:
[Almost in tears] Er...Hello. I'm sorry sir I don't remember...I have a condition that effects my memory and...

Charles Widmore:
Don't be embarrased Daniel, weve never met. I'm Charles Widmore.

Faraday:
Charles Widmore? Charles Widmore from my research grant?

Charles Widmore:
Yes.

Faraday:
Its nice to meet you at last, I kept meaning to come and see you but I got a bit...take a seat.

Charles Widmore:
Thank you.

[They sit]

Faraday:
I just want you to know that I tested it on myself first. I would never hurt Teresa.

Charles Widmore:
It's alright Daniel I'm not here because of that. I want to offer you a new opportunity.

Faraday:
Really?

Charles Widmore:
Yes.

[Dan stares back at the footage of the wreckage of 815 on the TV and starts to cry]

Charles Widmore:
Daniel. Whats making you so upset?

Faraday:
It's this plane crash. All those poor people...and their families. They're dead!

Charles Widmore:
What if I was to tell you Daniel that they're not dead. What if I told you that that plane they have found is an elaborate and expensive hoax.

Faraday:
How would you know that?

Charles Widmore:
I know Daniel because I'm the one that put it there.

Faraday:
Why would you tell me that?

Charles Widmore:
I told you Daniel because come tomorrow you're not likely to remember.

[The pair continue to discuss the crash and Widmore offers Dan the chance to go to the island on the frighter]
