Part II - "Pilot Episode" - What Signal Are You Receiving?

Air Date: 9/29/04

"I'm alone now, on the island alone. Please someone come.

The others, they're, they're dead. It killed them. It killed them all."
- Shannon (translating the French distress call they received)

In the second part of the LOST pilot, begins with Jack, Kate and Charlie returning from the front of the plane with the transceiver. Kate asks Charlie what he was doing the bathroom? He tells her that he was puking.

A Charlie Flashback:
Charlie is on the plane and is acting strangely. The flight attendant can tell that there's a problem, when she starts talking with other Oceanic flight attendant Charlie gets spooked and takes off. He runs into Jack and steps over Boone and Shannon on the way to the bathroom. Once inside, he pulls off his checkered shoes to get to his heroine. He puts some in his mouth while the flight attendants are asking him to come out of the bathroom. He throws his drugs into the plane toilet. When turbulence hits, he's thrown to the top of the bathroom and then gets out of the door and is almost crushed by one of the plane's beverage carts. He gets into a seat and buckles up.

Shannon is sun tanning not accepting that they might be on the island for a while. The pregnant girls asks about the lifeguard that hangs out with Shannon says he's "my brother, Boone." Claire tells Shannon her name.

Michael is looking for Walt. While Walt is looking for Vincent, he wonders off into the jungle and finds some handcuffs. Michael finally catches up with him, and chasten Walt for not listening to him. Michael seems to be a little freaked out by the handcuffs and the jungle.

Sayid and Sawyer are fighting on the beach. Sawyer accused Sayid of being a terrorist and him being responsible for the crash. While talking with Hurley, Sayid tells him that he was part of the Iraqi Republican Guard. He manages to fix transceiver and attempts to send a signal. So the second of many more treks into the jungle begins. They can't send a signal, but they do receive a message of a French woman, saying that they're all dead. Sayid is able to determine that its been playing for 16 years.

In our lives everyday, we are exposed to so many stimuli. We have so much noise in our lives today. What signals are you receiving? Do you hear people around you crying out for help? Are their perishing people calling for a rescue? We need to be aware of those around us and the opportunities we have to love them, share with them or to serve them. If you don't hear their S.O.S, who will?

Flashes Before Our Eyes:
Charlie's perspective of the Plane Crash.

What in the World Moment!:
We learn that Kate was the one in the custody of the US Marshall. She is a fugitive.

New Questions, New Hints, New Answers:
What did Kate Do?
Where is that signal coming from?
Who sent the signal?
What is the power source that's lasted for 16 years?
