After the light, everyone is confused.

"We must've been inside the radius," Daniel says

"The radius of what?" I ask

We make our way make to the beach.

We hear Bernard say that the camp is gone.

Daniel says "The camps not gone"

Sawyer turns around, he sees me and pulls me into a bone-crushing hug.

"What was that for?" I say

"I thought you were dead"

"You can't kill me that easy"

I also give Juliet a hug.

"What do you mean the camps not gone? Who the hell are you anyway?" Sawyer asks Daniel 

"That's Daniel Faraday, he's the physicist," I say

"Listen, we have no time," Daniel looks at Juliet and says "I need you to take me to something man-made that was built. Any kind of landmark"

Juliet says, "There's a Dharma station 15 minutes from here" 

"You mean the hatch? The one we blew up?" Sawyer says 

"That's perfect. We should get moving before it happens again"

Sayer stops Daniel from walking away "Before what happens again? And why is our camp gone?" 

"Your camp isn't gone, it hasn't been built yet," Daniel says 

Sawyer, Juliet, Daniel, Miles, Charlotte and I make our way to the Dharma Station. 

Sawyer gets mad that Daniel won't explain to him whats happening. So after Sawyer slaps him across the face he talks.

"Think of the island like a record spinning on a turntable. Only now that record is skipping. Whatever Benjamin Linus did down at the Orchid station...I think it may have...dislodged us."

"Dislodged us from what?" Miles asks

"Time"

"So that why our camp is gone? Because the island is moving through time?" I say

"Either the island is or we are"

"What?" Sawyer says 

"It's likely that we're moving, your people and us. Everyone is your group, you're all accounted for, right?" Daniel says 

"Not everyone," Sawyer says

I sigh "Locke"

There's another flash and it goes from day to night.

"Great," I say

"So when are we now whiz kid?" Sayer asks Faraday 

"We're either in the past...or we're in the future" 

*

We find the hatch in the state we last left it in.

Blown up. 

"Is this the hatch?" Daniel says

"It was," I say

"Blown up, just like we left it," Sawyer says 

"So when we are now, it's now after you and your people crashed on the island," Daniel says

"You saying our camp is back at the beach again?" Sawyer says 

"Its possible, yeah"

"Good. I'm going back"

'No, no. It's pointless"

"More pointless then staring at a hole in the ground"

"We don't know when the next flash in coming. Your camp could be gone again"

"Yeah, but what if it ain't? Hell what if the helicopter hasn't even taken off yet"

"We could warn them. Stop them from ever flying to that boat" Juliet says 

"I've seen enough movies to know that changing the past is never a good idea," I say

"She's right. You cannot change anything, You can't. Even if you tied to, it wouldn't work." Daniel says 

"Why not?" Sawyer says

"Time, it's like a street. We can move forward, we can move in reverse, but we cannot ever create a new street if we try to do anything different, we will fail. Every time. Whatever happened, happened. "

"How do you know so much about this, Danny Boy?" Sawyer says

Daniel takes off his backpack and he takes a book out and says "I know about this because I've spent my entire adult life studying space-time. I know this because this journal contains everything I've learned about the Dharma Initiative. This is why I'm here. I know what's happening"

"Can we stop it?" I ask

"We can't stop it"

"Then who can?" Sawyer says 

There are another flash and its day.

The hole is gone. We must be before it got blown up.

Juliet moves some dirt and bushes and there's the hatch door.

Sawyer starts to walk away

"And where are you going?" I ask him

"Backdoor. I'm getting some supplies"

Sawyer keeps banging on the door no matter how many times Daniel says no one will answer

Daniel says "You can't change the past, James!" 

Sawyer grabs with by the collar and says "Almost everybody I cared about just blew up on your damn boat. I know what I can't change"

I walk over there and place my hand on Sawyer's shoulder and he seems to relax "We should get back to the beach. Its been a long day"
