[as Locke] We're going to your old house, aren't we?
Yes. It's the only place I can summon it... the "monster." Once it arrives, I'll either be forgiven... or I won't.
I think you're lying.
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.
Then what do I want to be judged for, John?
For killing your daughter.
As long as the dead guy says there's a reason, well, then I guess everything's gonna be just peachy.
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?
Because I won't be selfish. Because I'll sacrifice anything to protect this Island.
You wouldn't sacrifice Alex.
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.
I've seen this Island do miraculous things. I've seen it heal the sick, but never once has it done anything like this. Dead is dead. You don't get to come back from that, not even here. So the fact that John Locke is walking around this Island... scares the living hell out of me.
[to the Man in Black, as Locke] When Charles Widmore's men came, they gave me a choice. Either leave the Island or let my daughter die. All I had to do was walk out of the house and go with them. But I didn't do it. So you were right. John, I did kill Alex. And now I have to answer for that. I appreciate you showing me the way, but I think I can take it from here.
