Jacob told me what we had to do. You don't get to make all the decisions--
BenHe told you what to do, but he didn't tell you how because he wants me to suffer the consequences.
Ben
Whoever moves the island can never come back. So I'd like you to get on the elevator, John, and go back up. Richard and my people will be waiting 2 miles east of the Orchid.
Ben
Ready, willing and able to share what they know. And then they will follow your every word. Good-bye, John. I'm sorry I made your life so miserable. [Ben shakes Locke's hand for the last time and leaves]
What do I tell 'em to do?
Ben
You'll find your way, John. You always do.
Ben
Hello, Jack. [Ben startles Jack from behind him in the funeral home, while looking a "Jeremy Bentham's" body] Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you. Did he tell you that I was off the island?
Ben
When did you speak to him?
Ben
And Kate?
Yeah. Yeah, he came to see her, too.
Ben
And what did he say to you?
He told me... that after I left the island, some very bad things happened. And he told me that it was my fault for leaving. And he said that I had to come back.
Ben
Yes, I heard that you've been flying on passenger planes... hoping that you'd crash. That's dark, Jack, very dark.
Ben
I'm here to tell you that the island won't let you come alone. All of you have to go back.
Are you... Sayid--I don't even know where Sayid is. Hurley... is insane. Sun blames me for... and then Kate... she won't even talk to me anymore.
Ben
Perhaps I can help you with that. This is the way it has to be, Jack. It's the only way. You have to do it together, all of you.
Ben
I have a few ideas. [Jack turns to leave] Jack... I said, all of you. We're gonna have to bring him, too.
[Both Jack and Ben look back down at the body, who is revealed to be John Locke]
I know you're down here, Ben. Crouching in the dark, just waiting to take a shot at me.
[as Dr. Edgar Halliwax, on video] This... is "the vault"...
Well, you better aim for the head, Ben! Not like your boyfriend who shot me in the back like a coward!
...to avoid leaving inorganic materials inside...
This body armor's, um, been known to take a bullet or two in its time. But before you take your shot, Ben, let me tell you about this. [revealing a device strapped to his arm] See that? I took out a bit of a--a life insurance policy, Ben. It's a heart rate monitor, and it's connected to a radio transmitter. W--we call it a "dead man's trigger", Ben. If my heart stops beating...it sends a little signal to the 500 pounds of C-4 that I've got hardwired out there on the freighter that'd kill a lot of innocent people, Ben. If you think I'm bluffing, need I remind you of, uh... how your daughter looked as she bled out? Face-down in the grass?
[Keamy hears a noise and whirls around to face Locke]
My name is John Locke, and I have no... conflict with you. And neither do the people on that boat. So... why don't you put your knife down? We can talk about this.
Well, John Locke... I've never really been one for talk.
[Ben attacks Keamy from behind, knocking him to the ground with a baton and stabbing him multiple times in the neck]
Ben Linus
You killed my daughter. You killed my daughter!
Ben! Ben! Ben, stop! No, no! Stop!
[Locke pulls Ben off Keamy]
[Keamy's device starts beeping]
You just killed everybody on that boat.
Ben Linus
[beat] So?
Ben
Why don't you close that up now Jack? Come on, let's get him in the van, it's out back.
Ben
We'll worry about that once we pick up Hugo.
Hurley - is locked away in a mental institution.
Ben
Which should make recruiting him considerably easier than the rest of your friends.
They're not my friends anymore.
Ben
Well that's the spirit...
How did we get here...? How did all of this happened?
Ben
It happened because you left, Jack... Now let's get started shall we?
(Ben closes Jeremy Bentham's coffin)
Ben
Hello, Hugo.
Ahh! [Throws Hot Pocket at him, misses and it hits wall] Get away from me. Get away!
Ben
Hugo, I know you're in trouble. And I can assure you, I've taken care of everything. I have a car waiting for us out back. The police didn't see me come in. I can get you out of here.
No way, dude. Sayid warned me about you.
Ben
I'm taking you to Sayid. He's with Jack. That's why I'm here, Hugo. Jack called me. How else would I know that they're together?
No. You're playing one of your mind games. They'd never trust you.
Ben
In their defense, I'm not an easy person to trust. But they came around when they realized that we all want the same thing.
Ben
To go back to the island. Come with us, Hugo. And this'll be over. You can stop hiding. You can stop worrying about the stories and the deceptions. If you come with me, you won't ever have to lie again. Please... Let me help you.
[Hurley turns and runs]
[Ben is driving with Sun and Jack]
Are you going to ask me not to kill Ben if he's lying about my husband?
After what just he did to Kate - if you don't do it, Sun, I will.
[Ben slams on the brakes and pulls overs]
Ben Linus
[turning to them] What I'm doing is helping you! And if you had any idea what I've had to do to keep you safe – to keep your friends safe – then you'd never stop thanking me! You wanna shoot me, then shoot me – but let's get on with it! What's it gonna be?
[Jack and Ben, in the 316 Ajira flight]
[Nervous] How can you read?
Ben
[Keeps reading] My mother taught me. [Pretty funny smile] I can read, Jack, because it beats what you are doing.
Ben
Waiting for something to happen.
And what is gonna happen?
Ben
You tell me, Jack, you're the one that got to stay after school with Ms. Hawking.
Did you know that Locke killed himself?
Ben
No. No, I didn't.
[Takes out the suicide note Locke left for him] They found this stuffed in his pocket... and I've been trying to get rid of it but it's like it's... following me. I know it sounds crazy but... it feels like John needs me to read it.
Ben
Why don't you then? Is it because you're afraid?
Ben
Afraid that he blames you, that it's your fault he killed himself.
Ben
No, Jack, it wasn't your fault. Let me give you some privacy.
[Ben changes his seat, and Jack reads the note: "Jack, I wish you had believed me. JL"]
[Turbulences and a flash like those from the Island start]
Ben Linus
Thomas the Apostle. When Jesus wanted to return to Judea, knowing that he would probably be murdered there, Thomas said to the others, "Let us also go, that we might die with him." But Thomas was not remembered for this bravery. His claim to fame came later... when he refused to acknowledge the resurrection. He just couldn't wrap his mind around it. The story goes... that he needed to touch Jesus' wounds to be convinced.
Ben Linus
Of course he was. We're all convinced sooner or later, Jack.
[Following the crash of Flight 316, Frank leaves the cockpit and enters the first class seating area which is in pieces with seats and plane parts all over the place. Frank looks around, Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sayid are all gone. Sun gets up and she and Frank notice each other]
[Sun scans the cabin noticing the mess and that the rest of the Oceanic Six have disappeared]
Oh my God! What happened?
[Pause]
Where's everyone else? Jack? Kate? Hurley? Sayid? Where'd they all go?
[Ben Linus suddenly appears behind Frank]
Ben
They're gone!
Ben
How would I know?
[In the Dharma security facility security guard Phil is on duty. A teenage boy enters the room and approachs Phil at his desk]
Young Ben
Hey Phil. I am just going to go in there and deliver him a sandwich.
[The boy enters an adjacent room where Sayid is being held in a cell]
Young Ben
Hello. I brought you a sandwich.
[Sayid goes over to the cells railings and takes the paper bag containing the sandwich from young Ben]
Young Ben
I didn't put any mustard on it, but if you want some, I can go and get some.
[Sayid looks in the paper bag and then back to the boy]
This will be fine thank you.
Young Ben
Are you a Hostile?
Young Ben
What's your name?
My name is Sayid. What's yours?
[Pause. It suddenly dawns on Sayid who the little boy infront of him is]
It's nice to meet you Ben...
[as Locke] We're going to your old house, aren't we?
Ben Linus
Yes. It's the only place I can summon it... the "monster." Once it arrives, I'll either be forgiven... or I won't.
Ben Linus
Lying about what?
That you want to be judged for leaving the Island and coming back because it's against the rules. I don't think you care about rules.
Ben Linus
Then what do I want to be judged for, John?
For killing your daughter.
Ben Linus
You left the Island regularly. You had a daughter with an outsider. You broke the rules, Charles.
And what makes you think you deserve to take what's mine?
Ben Linus
Because I won't be selfish. Because I'll sacrifice anything to protect this Island.
You wouldn't sacrifice Alex.
Ben Linus
You're the one who wanted her dead, Charles, not the Island.
I hope you're right, Benjamin, because if you aren't, and it is the Island that wants her dead, she'll be dead. And one day, you'll be standing where I'm standing now. You'll be the one being banished, and then you'll finally realize that you cannot fight the inevitable. I'll be seeing you, boy.
