Ben: 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.
Jack: 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?
Ben: No, Jack, you are.
Jack:[Laughs] And how am I going do that, Ben?
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.
Jack: She's not, huh?
Ben: No she's not.
Jack: Then who is she?
Ben: She's a representative of some people who've been trying to find this island, Jack. She's one of the bad guys.
Jack: Oh, I almost forgot, you're the, you're the good guys.
Ben: 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.
Jack: I'm not going anywhere.
[Jack and Ben both stand up at the same time, staring each other down]
Ben: May I have my walkie talkie back?
Jack: What?
Ben: There's something you need to hear. Please?
[Jack gives it to him]
Ben: Tom are you there?
Tom: Yes I'm here.
Ben:[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.
Sayid: Jack, don't give him anything.
[Ryan hits Sayid]
Bernard: Leave him alone!
Ryan: I said shut up!
Jack: And what's to stop me from snapping your neck?
Ben: Tom unless you hear my voice in one minute, shoot all three of them.
Tom: Got it.
Ryan: I said don't move.
Ben: Bring me the phone, Jack.
Sayid: Don't negotiate with him-
Ben: Forty Five seconds.
Jack: No. I'm getting them all of the island. All of them!
Ben: 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.
Jack: No.
Ben: Ten seconds. Bring me the phone.
Jack: No.
Ben: I'm not bluffing!
Jack: I WON'T DO IT!
Ben: Five. Four. Three.
Jack: No.
[Three shots are heard over the walkie talkie, Jack cringes with anguish]
Ben: I'm so sorry, Jack.
[Furious, Jack tackles Ben to the ground and beats him half to death. He then takes the walkie talkie]
Jack: Tom are you there?
Tom: Yeah, Jack, I hear ya.
Jack: 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.
