Special Episode: Destination: Lost 

Air Date: September 21, 2005
Written by: Steve Mulholland
Narrated by: Peter Coyote

Narrated in a linear fashion and culminating from the pieces of the back stories told over multiple episodes in the series, "Destination Lost" focuses on the flashbacks of a core of characters -- illustrating who they were and what they were doing before the crash, and how the island has changed their lives, for better or worse. In addition, the island itself will be explored - culled from events that have taken place - which may reveal some of its secrets that might have been missed upon first viewing.

Again, as I did before with The Journey, I feel the narrated portion gives us more to think about than the actual footage. So in keeping with that, here is the narrated portion done by Peter Coyote:

Oceanic flight 815
Departing from Sydney to Los Angeles
A flight like any other
A plane full of strangers
Amid them a doctor and a con-artist
A solider and a lottery winner
An addict and a prisoner
But on route to its destination something goes wrong
And somehow, 48 passengers survive
They are complete strangers, stranded on a far away island
Scared and waiting
And the only thing more mysterious than the people they are stranded with
Is the island itself
A new day arrives, still no rescue
But in the face of disaster, hope remains  

The mysteries of the island begin to unfold
And as one man looks for answers
Another finds purpose
What if your leader is a reluctant one?
What if the pain he holds gets in the way?
How great is the need for the leader to finally emerge?
How do you survive on an island, when you don't know who to trust?
Can vengeance be so blind, that a man is unable to see the man he has killed is not the man he sought?
In the absence of law, 48 people coexist
How common is the common man?
Does he have potential?
Does his destiny ultimately matter?
In the search for answers to the island mysteries, they find proof they're not alone
Scared and in danger, and looking for any way to get home
With some determined to leave, the island reveals itself to others with a reason to stay
A mysterieous hatch
Is it the key to survival
Or the path to destruction?
As one ship sets sail
Another provides needed supplies
In the journey to the hatch danger threatens
What does destiny hold for the survivors of Oceanic flight 815?
And was it destiny that brought them to this place of mystery?
Where does their salvation lie?
