Island: Faucke marches Des out to ye olde well. DES, get away from that well! He drops a torch down it to see how deep it is. Get away from the well! He explains that it was hand dug long ago, by people who noticed that their compasses went crazy when they were standing on certain spots on the island. Great, now get away from it, Des. They dug down to see what was causing the disturbance. They dug down for answers -- answers they never got. "The reason I wanted you to see this Desmond, is because Charles Widmore is not interested in answers. He's only interested in power. And he brought you back to this island, so that you could help him find what he's looking for. After all, this isn't the only well." No, and Jin probably has them all plotted out for Charles on one of his gridmaps. Desmond nods, but he doesn't budge, despite my repeated pleas. Instead, he addresses Faucke. "And that's the reason you wanted me to see this?" Faucke looks grim. "Why aren't you afraid?" Did anyone else just flash to the moment when Sawyer knew Faucke wasn't Locke? Desmond says, "Excuse me?" Faucke explains: "You're out here, in the middle of the jungle with me. Not a person on earth even knows you're here. Why aren't you afraid?" Desmond says, "What is the point in being afraid?" Faucke's smile never quite settles into his eyes. He reaches and you knew it. I knew it. We all knew it. If I'm not mistaken, Desmond knew it, too! And so it happens. Faucke tosses Desmond's bonnie ass down that well. Yeaarrrrrgh!
