The captive's name, Henry Gale, is the name of Auntie Em's husband from the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. He also mentions getting to the island on a balloon. The Wizard of Oz also arrived in Oz in a balloon. Australia where flight 815 originated from is also refered to as "Oz"
 
The timer reaches zero in this episode. When the timer reaches zero, the clock switches to a series of hieroglyphics. The first three places are red color on black ground, the last two digits are black colored on red ground.
 
Only the first, third, fourth and fifth symbol are visible before the timer is reset in the very last moment:
 
Digit 1 is egyptian for S (cloth)
Digit 2 is not shown
Digit 3 is not in the short version of the egyptian alphabet, it remotely resembles the symbols for ISH or MI
Digit 4 is egyptian for AH (vulture)
Digit 5 is not in the short version of the egyptian alphabet, it remotely resembles the symbols for H, S or B
 
 
Note: Egyptian texts are written without vocals and are read usually from right to left

Here's the best screencap I've found of the hieroglyphics on the timer.

If you're really into translating them, there's a HUGE thread at the Fuselage, I'm just not that ambitious.. LOL

There are only 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary, and those who don't.
