Right away.

I see things.

Do you see dead people?

I see that you suffer

from a massive inferiority complex.

I try to hide that so well.

I'm Jupiter the Gas Giant.

-Say, "Excuse me."

-Yikes.

Is he doing it,

or is he just naturally that chubby?

It's so cool.

Miss Holloway,

how would you Iike to introduce

our trainees to their new instructor?

I would Iove to. You ready?

-Yeah. I can't wait.

-Okay.

That is getting so old.

Well, considering you can read my mind,

I don't have many options.

I can't read your mind. I just feel stuff.

And you could stop hitting on me entirely.

No, I can't do that.

You and I are destiny.

Children, I would Iike to formally

introduce you to a very great man,

Mr. Jack Shepard.

Sorry. I don't remember eating that.

Great man or washed-up Ioser?

It's a fine Iine. What a nice kid.

Is the Iong hair and the James Dean angst

just a package with you?

Mr. Shepard is uniquely qualified

to be your new instructor.

And now he'II tell you why.

What?

Oh, yeah, kids,

do you have any idea

what you're doing here or why?

Me.

Come on. Come on. Me, me, me.

Me.

-AII right, the Iittle one.

-We were brought here in super secret

because we were selected

out of a huge group of kids

because we're really special

and they needed special kids

for a special course.

That's what Miss Holloway said.

I don't think I've ever heard anybody

use that many "specials" in a sentence.

She actually worked it in there

one more time than Collins did.

But it's all a Iie.

We're here because we're different.

-We're not different.

-Come on. Chill out.

You can pick up a car, and you're six.

How different does it get?

-Don't tell her that.

-Don't be a jerk, man.

-What? Tucker, I'm not being a jerk.

-Children.

-Sorry.

-Okay, maybe this'II help.

I spent a Iot of time here at Camp Secret

when I was just about your age.

And you know what?

It pretty much

-ruined my Iife.

-Mr. Shepard.

Hey, the military would Iike you to be

just Iike me.

You have to work hard and focus.

But most of all, most important,

you're going to need

massive doses of Gamma-13 emissions.

So Iet's wheel in that big machine

and zap the Iittle guys, huh?

-That's not true. Mr. Shepard. Hallway.

-Right. Let's go to the hallway.

You guys want to slip into that Iead

underwear, you wanna protect your privates.

AIways the smart aleck.

But he is definitely the target, sir.

The center of the dimensional probing

is following Zoom here, from Long Beach.

We've finally found something

that Shepard excels at.

Being the bait.

If you can't get those kids

combat-ready in time,

I'II have to dose them with enough

Gamma-13 to sterilize a trailer park.
