In the hatch, an unconscious Charlie slowly wakes up among the rubble and the sparking wires. The sound is muffled with a little bit of ringing. I guess we're hearing through Charlie's ears. The question is, is this because of the blast or because of Driveshaft? He makes his way down the hall, yelling Eko's name, and finds him, lying unconscious and bloody under a beam, that Charlie moves, and yells at Eko to wake up.
Inside the computer room, there's less than four minutes left, and Desmond's saying they need to push the button, and Locke's arguing. "Do you not hear me, brother? I crashed your bloody plane!" he says, and fills Locke in on the flashback we just saw, and Desmond JUST REMEMBERED FOR THE FIRST TIME, apparently, and shows Locke the date of the system failure. "It's real! It's all bloody real! Now push the damn button!" he yells. Locke's still sticking to his Pearl station story. He believes in Pearl station as much as he used to believe in Swan station, apparently. Desmond decides that if Locke won't do it, he will, but Locke picks up the computer and smashes it on the floor. Desmond's absolutely horrified: "Now I'll never wrap Karateka!" He also (or maybe only) says, "You killed us. You killed us all." Locke says he just saved them all. The natural response would be for Desmond to say, "You killed us all, infinity," but Desmond just runs to the control panel and sparks the wires so the blast doors go back up, and when they do, he runs out of the computer room over to the bookcase. Charlie's still trying to revive Eko, and asks if Desmond can help him. "I'm trying, brother," says Desmond. But you're late for your book club? Desmond finds what he's looking for: his copy of Dickens' Our Mutual Friend.
