I mean, this whole baby was his idea." Kelvin "Yeah, right, Radzinsky. Radzinski figured out how to fake a lockdown. Radzinski created this great invisible map.

  58. "Is the reason you're letting that clock there run all the way down to the very last tick—is it because you need to look down the barrel of a gun to find out what you really believe, John?" Desmond "I looked down the barrel of the gun and I believed. I thought it was my destiny to get into this place. And someone died—a kid. Because he was stupid enough to believe that I knew what I was talking about. And the night that he died for nothing, I was sitting right up there, all alone, beating my hand bloody against that stupid door—screaming to the heavens asking what I should do. And then a light went on. I thought it was a sign. But it wasn't a sign. Probably just you going to the bathroom." Locke

That screen filled up with "system failure," [pointing to the printout] System Failure. And I know what they are. 92204—September the 22nd, 2004, the day your planed crashed. It's real! It's all bloody real! Now, push the damn button!" Desmond

  74. "Dearest Des, I am writing this letter to you as you leave for prison. And I've hidden in the one place you would turn to in a moment of great desperation. I know you go away with the weight of what happened on your shoulders. And I know the only person who can ever take it off is you. Please don't give up, Des. Because all we really need to survive is one person who truly loves us. And you have her. I will wait for you. Always. I love you, Pen."
  75. Desmond is very upset because he thinks the world is gone, he throws things in the hatch, he hears Locke bang on the door, he sees it as a sign, it gives him hope that the world is still out there, he puts the light on. From Lostpedia
  76. Desmond gets the failsafe key, tells Locke he heard him 3 days before they met.
  77. "3 days before you came down here, before we met, I heard a banging on the Hatch door, shouting. But it was you, John, wasn't it? You said there isn't any purpose—there's no such thing as fate. But you saved my life, brotha, so that I could save yours." Desmond
  78. The alarm is going off, the button doesn't get pushed, there is another system failure, the timer flips to hieroglyphs.
  79. "I'm going to blow the dam, John. [the timer starts flipping to the hieroglyphs] I'm sorry for whatever happened that made you stop believing. But it's all real. Now I've got to go and make it all go away. I'll see you in another life, brotha." Desmond

Notes:
  1. Desmond exclaims "You" and laughs when he sees Jack, just as Jack did when he recognized Desmond in Man of Science, Man of Faith.
  2. Kelvin dies as Sayid arrives to the island, also convenient.
  3. The whispers when Sawyer, Jack, Kate and Hurley are taken, from DarkUFO: This is no good (or), Let's do something (or), We're near them. He's asking him something. Yeah, but what happened? They saw a smoke signal. Elizabeth. Did (does) somebody see you (or), It looks like her, but. You're on her right. Behind you. I'll have to listen to the dreams (trees) to learn (find) something. He'll need to instruct you (or), Do we ambush? Why can't you (two) do it (or), Can't you see (Sawyer gets hit with dart). Got to have a team with you. Okay, crank it up (Kate: Sawyer!). I knew that something bad would happen. I assume this is how you would do it. Don't tell anyone he wants it done (or), Don't want anyone to die. Let's assemble them (or), This is similar (or), What's this symbol of? (Jack: Run! Go! Go!) It was her. So she was never taken (or), So she must never take it (or), I'm sure it's just new to you. Said I was about to (or), Someone attacked them. Get your butt out of there. Try the sequence. Had to be given lessons. Turn it on beside you. Don't do it. Don't see. (Gunshots) You're gonna have to do it. You are too. Why can't we choose (or), I can't reach it. Two more people (or), Too young people. I'm frightened. Please. Come on, it's simple. Intruder alert. Do you think I should I lock this? No, I've seen them before. Close the door. You all need me.
  4. Sayid, Sawyer and Jack=Charlie's Angels?
  5. Um, what purple sky?
  6. Also, Charlie, you might want to tell people that Desmond, Eko and Locke may be dead in the hatch instead of hanging out for hours with the cute, blonde chick with a baby.
  7. The first time the show went to the off-island scene, with the men in the station speaking Portuguese, I really thought it was another show or a commercial.
