Let's go.
Why are you going East? Thought you said the Barracks were due South.
Because, James, we have to make a little detour first.
Detour to what?
There's a cabin I have to go to.
I think the cabin was back that way.
What did you say Hugo?
I er, thought you were talking about the airplane cabin.
(Locke stares at Hurley. So does Ben)
Why are we wasting our time going to some shack anyway?
Because we're supposed to.
Right. Like you were supposed to throw a knife into that Naomi chick's back.
Ahuh.
You mind telling us who you're getting your orders from, Colonel Kurtz?
I got em from Walt.
What the hell do you mean you saw Walt? In a dream?
No dream, it was Walt. Only, taller.
Taller? What like a giant? OK, what exactly did Walt tell you?
He said I had work to do. That I had to stop this woman, Naomi, from bringing the rest of her people here.
What you didn't ask any follow-up questions?
Ben had shot me and left me for dead, Walt saved my life, so I pretty much took him at his word.
He shot you? Yet here you are fit as a fiddle tromping through the jungle.
(Locke shows Sawyer his wound)
The bullet went in one side, came out the other. I'd probably be dead if I still had a kidney there. Anything else?
You need to put the guns down.
What?
Put the guns down.
Now why would I do that?
Because our friends are out in the jungle right holding a gun at your head and his head, so I'm gonna forget about the misunderstanding, just put the guns down!
Come on, how stupid do you think I-
[Several shots ring out, and Juliet and Sayid come out the bushes with guns aimed at Miles and Daniel. Kate grabs Daniel's gun and aims it at him, but Miles continues to hold his]
I don't know, Miles. How stupid are you?
[Locke is about to execute Ben]
John, listen. I have information that you need. I have answers.
What is the monster?
What?
The black smoke, the monster! What is it?
I don't know.
[Locke loads his gun]
Goodbye, Benjamin.
Her name is Charlotte Lewis! [Charlotte looks shocked] Charlotte Staples Lewis. Born July 2, 1979, Essex, England. Parents David and Jeanette. Eldest of three, all girls. She was raised in Bromsgrove. Did her undergraduate studies at Kent. Took her PhD in cultural anthropology at Oxford. She's here with two other team members and a pilot. Their names are Daniel Faraday, Miles Straume, Frank Lapidus. [Charlotte continues to look shocked] Your instinct was right, John. These people are a threat.
[to Jack] Er, okay, see, erm, rescuing you and your people. Can't really say it's our primary objective.
James. Look at yourself. Yes, on this Island you're brave, daring, handsome, you're someone, but if you left with them, back in the real-world a low-life scam artist like you could never compete with a first class surgeon. I think Kate was really upset when you made your choice to come with us. Thank god she has Jack there to comfort-
[Sawyer attacks Ben]
James! Don't!
Don't what!? Anyone wanna tell me why we're keeping this guy alive?
We're keeping him alive because he's been on this Island a lot longer than any of us. Because he has information we need. And because apart from his mouth, he's completely harmless.
His mouth put that hole in your gut?
Okay, James. Let's execute him, right here, right now, in front of his daughter.
It's only a matter of time before he gets us, Johnny. And I bet he's already figured out how he's gonna do it.
What 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.
What 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.
And what do you do, Miles?
[sarcastically] I collect soil samples.
Oh, 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?
Who are we to argue with taller ghost Walt?
