[Kate, Sayid, and Locke are holding Mikhail prisoner]
Remind me why we're keeping him alive.
SayidWhat do you suggest? That we shoot him like a dog?
No. I like dogs.
Better get going. Rousseau said it's about a day's walk up to the radio tower.
SayidI'm not taking them up to the tower--you are.
Excuse me?
SayidYou're not staying behind.
This was my idea.
SayidAnd I'm perfectly capable of executing it.
I owe them!
SayidWhat are you more concerned about: killing the Others or getting our people off this island? This afternoon you said you were our leader. It's time for you to act like one. Lead them to the radio tower, Jack and then take us all home.
SayidHey.
Hey.
So here we go again, huh?
[Laughs.] Here we go again.
[Charlie's "greatest hits" written on a sheet of paper]: 5. The first time I heard myself on the radio. 4. Dad teaching me to swim at Butlins. 3. The Christmas Liam gave me the ring. 2. Woman outside Covent Garden calls me a hero. 1. The night I met you [Claire].
Not so long ago, Jack, I made a decision that took the lives of over forty people in a single day. I'm telling you this because history is about to repeat itself, right here, right now.
Let me guess you've got us surrounded and if I don't do what you say you're gonna, you're gonna kill all of my people?
No, Jack, you are.
[Laughs] And how am I going do that, Ben?
The woman you've been traveling with. The one who parachuted onto the island from that helicopter. She's not who she says she is.
She's not, huh?
No she's not.
Then who is she?
She's a representative of some people who've been trying to find this island, Jack. She's one of the bad guys.
Oh, I almost forgot, you're the, you're the good guys.
Jack listen to me. If you phone her boat, every single living person on this island will be killed. So here's what has to happen. Get that device, that phone she carries with her, and give it to me. I will turn around, we'll walk back to my people, you will turn around and walk back to your people.
I'm not going anywhere.
[Jack and Ben both stand up at the same time, staring each other down]
May I have my walkie talkie back?
What?
There's something you need to hear. Please?
[Jack gives it to him]
Tom are you there?
Yes I'm here.
[To Jack] Your plan killed seven of my people, but the ones you failed to kill are now holding your friends: Jin, Sayid, Bernard, at gunpoint.
SayidJack, don't give him anything.
[Ryan hits Sayid]
Leave him alone!
I said shut up!
And what's to stop me from snapping your neck?
Tom unless you hear my voice in one minute, shoot all three of them.
Got it.
I said don't move.
Bring me the phone, Jack.
SayidDon't negotiate with him-
Forty Five seconds.
No. I'm getting them all of the island. All of them!
Let me ask you something, Jack. Why do you wanna leave the Island? What is it that you so desperately want to get back to? You have no one. Your father's dead, your wife left you, moved on with another man. Can you just not wait to get back to the hospital? Get back to fixing things? It's twenty seconds now. Just get me the phone, Jack.
No.
Ten seconds. Bring me the phone.
No.
I'm not bluffing!
I WON'T DO IT!
Five. Four. Three.
No.
[Three shots are heard over the walkie talkie, Jack cringes with anguish]
I'm so sorry, Jack.
[Furious, Jack tackles Ben to the ground and beats him half to death. He then takes the walkie talkie]
Tom are you there?
Yeah, Jack, I hear ya.
I'm going to lead my people up to the radio tower. And I'm going to make a call and get them all rescued. Every one of them. And then I'm gonna come find you. And I'm gonna kill ya.
[Upon seeing Locke, Jack immediately attacks him, beating him to the ground. Locke goes for his gun, but Jack grabs it away and aims it him. The group looks on, shocked.]
You won't shoot me, Jack. Anymore than I was gonna-[Is cut off when Jack pulls the trigger. But nothing happens.]
[Amazed] It's not loaded...
[Jack begins to continue beating Locke before he is pulled off by Sawyer and Sayid]
Let go of me![To Sayid] Do you know what he did?!
SayidYes, I know what he did!
All I did, all I have ever done, has been in the best interests of all of us.
Are you insane!?
I know I have a lot of explaining to do. But I never did anything to hurt any of you. I even risked my life to tell you there was a traitor in your midst.[Points at Juliet]
She helped us, John. All you ever did was blow up every chance we've had of getting off of this Island! You killed Naomi.
Well, technically, he didn't kill her. Yet.
[Just arriving] Yes he did. She just died. She didn't give you up, John. She covered for us, and she fixed this.[Hands Jack the phone] They're on their way.
She didn't cover for anyone. She wants her people to come here. And trust me, when they do we had all better be far away from here. I'm going to the Barracks. The Others abandoned them. It's the only place on the Island with any form of security, so it'll have to do until I can think of something else. Until then, if you wanna live, you need to come with me.
No one's going anywhere with you, John. Because they're not crazy.
[teary eyed] He's not crazy! What about Charlie? Charlie went down to that place so we could all be rescued. And whatever he did down there, it worked. But then something must have happened. He must have heard something before he...[Becomes overwhelemed with emotion] I don't know why, but he changed his mind. Because the last thing he did was warn us that the people on that boat are not who they said they were. So I'm not listening to you! I'm listening to my friend. I'm listening to Charlie.
Sayid JarrahWhat are your names?
Er, I'm Daniel Faraday, and this is Miles...
Don't tell him my last name.
I guess it's just Miles.
Sayid JarrahWhat do you do for a living, Daniel?
I'm a physicist. Well, I guess you could call me a physicist, I don't really like being pigeon-holed into one...
Dan, I swear to God, you say one more word, I'm gonna break your fingers.
Sayid JarrahAnd what do you do, Miles?
[sarcastically] I collect soil samples.
Sayid JarrahOh, that's nice. Well, maybe you can help me. You say you're not here on a rescue mission, and the world at large believes us to be dead. But here we are alive and well, and you don't seem remotely surprised to see us.
[sarcastically] Oh my God, you guys were on Oceanic Flight 815! Wow! [normally] That better?
SayidNaomi, were you close to her?
Nope. Met her on the boat.
SayidYou don't seem particularly affected by her death.
Sure I'm affected. She was hot and I dug her accent.
Nice.
SayidAnd this woman, Charlotte. You don't really care about her, do you?
Define care.
SayidSo much for camaraderie.
Yeah, gee, who's the one going after one of their crash buddies with guns? Actually, I do care about Locke. Maybe you can tell me how he managed to split your happy little family in half.
Sayid(glances at Kate) There was a fundamental debate as to whether your people were coming to rescue us... or kill us.
And which side did you land on?
SayidI let you know when I decide.
[Sayid has just arrived back at the beach in the Zodiac]
Sayid, where's Desmond?
SayidHe's fine, he's on the freighter. Listen, I'm going to start taking people back, six at a time. We have to go right now, before the helicopter gets back to the boat.
Why do we have to go to the boat before the chopper gets back?
SayidBecause the men on that helicopter have every intention of killing us all. [Juliet looks scared] What?
Jack and Kate just went running after it.
We're gonna have to lie.
Sayid JarrahLie about what?
Everything, all of it, every moment since we crashed on the island.
Jack... now I know I'm new to this group and everything, but isn't this the place where everybody starts jumping up and down and hugging each other?
Your freighter... those men came to the island to kill us, all of us. You said that our plane was discovered on the bottom of the ocean. Well, someone put it there--someone who wants everyone to think that we're dead. So what do you think's gonna happen to us when we tell them that that wasn't our plane? What do you think's gonna happen to the people that we left behind?
Jack, we can't. We can't pull it off.
Just let me do the talking.
So when'd you become so paranoid?
SayidIf you'd spent the last two years doing the things I was doing, you'd be paranoid, too.
Oh, yeah? Paranoid like what? What kind of things?
SayidI was working for Benjamin Linus.
Wait. He's on our side now?
SayidListen to me, Hurley. If you ever have the misfortune of running into him, whatever he tells you, just do the opposite.
[At drive through]
Wanna fry?
SayidNo, thank you.
You know maybe if you ate more comfort food, you wouldn't have to go around shooting people.
So that dude you pocked outside Santa Rosa, who was he?
SayidI don't care. He was armed and he was watching you. That made him an enemy.
You think he was going to kill me?
SayidI'm not taking risks after Bentham died.
You mean Locke?
SayidYeah, I mean Locke.
I need a cool code name.
Dude they'll find out.
Not if we stick to the story.
SayidI don't know, Jack. It could be a risk.
It's the only way. We have to do this.
You're still at it, huh?
Look, we're running out of time. We've got to make a decision now. So are we all okay with this?
SayidThis is a decision that will affect the rest of our lives. I'm not taking it lightly.
Kate?
Yeah.
Sun?
[Sun nods]
Frank?
What?
Sorry you got dragged into this, but we need to know that you're with us.
Whatever you guys decide, I'll just roll with.
Hurley, what about you?
I don't think we should lie dude.
We need to protect the people that we left behind, Hurley.
How does lying protect them?
It protects them from Charles Widmore. The guy hired a boatload of people to kill all of us. He faked the plane crash, and you think telling him the truth he's just gonna.. he's gonna leave them alone?
[To Penny] Look he's your dad right? Can't you just like.. call him off?
There's no calling my father off.
But, he'll never find 'em. I mean the Island disappeared, we all saw it, it's gone... BLUP!
You thing anyone's gonna believe that? Believe any of it? They're gonna think you're crazy.
Unless someone backs me up.
[He looks at Sayid]
Sayid, come on. They'll think I'm nuts if I tell the truth but what if we all do? I mean if we can stick together, we can make 'em believe us. I don't wanna spend the rest of my life lying, do you?!
SayidNo, but I don't believe we have a better choice... I'm sorry Hurley but we have to lie.
You know what dude? I'm gonna remember this. And some day you're gonna need my help and I'm telling you right now... You're not getting it.
[In the Dharma security facility security guard Phil is on duty. A teenage boy enters the room and approachs Phil at his desk]
Hey Phil. I am just going to go in there and deliver him a sandwich.
Alright.
[The boy enters an adjacent room where Sayid is being held in a cell]
Hello. I brought you a sandwich.
[Sayid goes over to the cells railings and takes the paper bag containing the sandwich from young Ben]
SayidThank you.
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]
SayidThis will be fine thank you.
Are you a Hostile?
SayidWhat do you think I am?
What's your name?
SayidMy name is Sayid. What's yours?
I'm Ben.
[Pause. It suddenly dawns on Sayid who the little boy infront of him is]
SayidIt's nice to meet you Ben...
How you doin'?
Sayid JarrahA twelve-year-old Ben Linus brought me a chicken salad sandwich. How do you think I'm doing?
