“Dr. Linus” · Season 6, Episode 7

In this episode: Ben Linus (7), Miles Straume (3), Ilana Verdansky (3), Richard Alpert (2), Dr. Jack Shephard (1), Hurley Reyes (1), Frank Lapidus (1), Roger Linus (1)

[Ben rummages through Sawyer's old stash at the beach camp. He finds a book and a couple of pornographic magazines]

The stuff people bring on their travels...

[He continues to look and finds a bottle of water carrying the Oceanic Logo on its label. Frank Lapidus approaches]

Oceanic! You know I remember that plane breaking apart as if it were yesterday.

You're sounding a little nostalgic there.

Maybe I am.

You know I was supposed to be flying it? Oceanic 815?

[Ben looks at Frank shocked by the news]

And why didn't you?

I overslept. [Pause] You know I keep thinking about how different my life would have been if I was on the plane.

How different would it have been? The island still got you in the end, didn't it?

[Miles approaches Ben who is digging his own grave]

Hey I thought you might want something to eat. I'm afraid all we have is banana and these little green bean things.

You know I'm not really that hungry.

Suit yourself.

[Miles starts to walk away]

Miles! You know you once asked me for 3.2 Million Dollars?

Yeah.

You still want it?

Why would I want your money when there's two people buried right over there called Nikki and Paulo who are buried with 8 Million Dollars worth of diamonds.

Miles please? If you help free me, when we all leave this place I'll get it for you, all of it. I have contacts that will get it for me.

Yeah right. What you going to do? Write me a check on this banana leaf?

What are you waiting for?

BLBenjamin Linus

I want to explain.

Explain what?

BLBenjamin Linus

I want to explain that I know what you're feeling.

You have no idea what I'm feeling.

BLBenjamin Linus

I watched my daughter Alex die in front of me. And it was my fault. I had a chance to save her, but I chose the island... Over her. All in the name of Jacob. I sacrificed everything for him... And he didn't even care. Yeah, I stabbed him. I was... so angry.. Confused. I... I was terrified that I was about to lose the only thing that had ever mattered to me... my power. But the thing that really mattered... Was already gone. I'm sorry that I killed Jacob. I am. And I do not expect you to forgive me because... I can never forgive myself.

Then what do you want?

BLBenjamin Linus

Just... let me leave.

Where will you go?

BLBenjamin Linus

To Locke.

Why?

BLBenjamin Linus

Because he's the only one that'll have me.

I'll have you.

[Hurley and Jack are lead by Richard to what they believe will be the Temple]

[To Richard] Where did you come from?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Temples this way.

So dude whats the deal? Are you time traveling? 'Cause you look exactly the same as you did 30 years ago.

I'm not time traveling. This was a gift from Jacob. Only...It's not a gift at all. Its a curse.

So what you're like a Terminator?

[Richard looks at Hurley]

No.

This isn't the life I wanted for you, Ben. I wanted so much more.

I know.

That's why I signed up for that damn Dharma Initiative, and took you to the island, and they were decent people. Smarter than I'll ever be. Imagine how different our lives would've been If we'd stayed.

Yes, we'd have both lived happily ever after.

No, I'm serious, Ben. Who knows what you would've become.

Why would I need your money when there are a couple of jabonies under there named Nikki and Paulo who got buried alive with $8 million in diamonds on top of them?

I can't believe you're just gonna stand by and watch this happen. Ilana's gonna murder me for killing Jacob; A man who didn't even care about being killed!

No, he cared.

Excuse me?

Right up until the second the knife went through his heart, he was hoping he was wrong about you. I guess he wasn't.

[to Jack] I devoted my life - longer than you can possibly imagine - in service of a man who told me that everything was happening for a reason, that he had a plan - a plan that I was a part of - and when the time was right that he'd share it with me. And now that man's gone. So why do I want to die? Because I just found out my entire life had no purpose.
