Hurley, Jack and others in “The Lie”

Dude they'll find out.

Not if we stick to the story.

I 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?

This is a decision that will affect the rest of our lives. I'm not taking it lightly.

Kate?

Yeah.

Sun?

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.

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?!

No, 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.
