Lost · Season 4
[Sayid has just arrived back at the beach in the Zodiac]
Sayid, where's Desmond?
He's fine, he's on the freighter. Listen, I'm going to start taking people back, six at a time. We have to go right now, before the helicopter gets back to the boat.
Why do we have to go to the boat before the chopper gets back?
Because the men on that helicopter have every intention of killing us all. [Juliet looks scared] What?
Jack and Kate just went running after it.
[Locke, Ben and Hurley are looking at the armed men in the Orchid Station]
I'm sorry Ben, but maybe I've missed the part where you explain what I'm supposed to do with the armed men inside.
I'm gonna take care of 'em.
And how the hell are you gonna do that?
How many time I have to tell you, John? I always have a plan.
[Hurley opens the box Ben hands to him and finds saltine crackers inside. He eats one.]
You know those are 15 years old?
We have to go back! WE HAVE TO GO BACK!
"We have to go back"? "We have to go back"?
Now hold on--
Who do you think you are?! You call me over and over again for two days straight, stoned on your pills! And then you show up here with an obituary for Jeremy Bentham. [Sighs] When he came to me and I heard what he had to say, I knew he was crazy. But you... you believed him.
Yes.
Him, of all people.
Yes, Kate, I did, because he said that that was the only way that I could keep you safe--you and Aaron. [Kate slaps Jack]
Don't you say his name. I still have to explain to him why you are not there to read to him, so don't you say his name!
I'm sorry.
I've spent the last three years trying to forget all the horrible things that happened on the day that we left. How dare you ask me to go back?
What did you want to talk to me about, John?
I want you to reconsider leaving the island, Jack. I would like you to stay.
You'd like me to stay.
Yeah. That's right.
You threw a knife into the back of an unarmed woman, you led half of our people across the island and got most of them killed.
Well Jack, you put a gun to my head and pulled the trigger. I was hoping we could let bygones be bygones.
Jack, you're not supposed to go home.
And what am I supposed to do?! Oh, I think I remember- what was it that you said on the way out to the hatch? That crashing here was our destiny.
You know, Jack, you know that you're here for a reason! You know it. And if you leave this place, that knowledge is gonna eat you alive from the inside out... until you decide to come back.
Goodbye John.
You're gonna have to lie.
Excuse me?
If you have to go, then you have to lie about everything, everything that happened since we got to the island. It's the only way to protect it.
It's an island, John. No one needs to protect it.
It's not an island. It's a place where miracles happen. And- and if you don't believe that Jack, if you can't believe that, just wait 'til you see what I'm about to do.
There's no such thing as miracles.
Well... we'll just have to see which one of us is right.
Jacob told me what we had to do. You don't get to make all the decisions--
He told you what to do, but he didn't tell you how because he wants me to suffer the consequences.
What consequences?
Whoever moves the island can never come back. So I'd like you to get on the elevator, John, and go back up. Richard and my people will be waiting 2 miles east of the Orchid.
Waiting for me?
Ready, willing and able to share what they know. And then they will follow your every word. Good-bye, John. I'm sorry I made your life so miserable. [Ben shakes Locke's hand for the last time and leaves]
What do I tell 'em to do?
You'll find your way, John. You always do.
Hello, Jack. [Ben startles Jack from behind him in the funeral home, while looking a "Jeremy Bentham's" body] Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you. Did he tell you that I was off the island?
Yes, he did.
When did you speak to him?
About a month ago.
And Kate?
Yeah. Yeah, he came to see her, too.
And what did he say to you?
He told me... that after I left the island, some very bad things happened. And he told me that it was my fault for leaving. And he said that I had to come back.
Yes, I heard that you've been flying on passenger planes... hoping that you'd crash. That's dark, Jack, very dark.
Why are you here?
I'm here to tell you that the island won't let you come alone. All of you have to go back.
Are you... Sayid--I don't even know where Sayid is. Hurley... is insane. Sun blames me for... and then Kate... she won't even talk to me anymore.
Perhaps I can help you with that. This is the way it has to be, Jack. It's the only way. You have to do it together, all of you.
How?
I have a few ideas. [Jack turns to leave] Jack... I said, all of you. We're gonna have to bring him, too.
[Both Jack and Ben look back down at the body, who is revealed to be John Locke]
[following Jack] Hold up! You don't get to die alone.
Is something wrong?
Just some complications with the company. Nothing you'd understand. How is the pregnancy?
Don't pretend to be interested in my baby. We both know you hated my husband.
What did you say?
You heard me. You hated Jin.
Who do you think you are? I am your father. You will respect me!
Oceanic paid us our settlement for the crash. It was very significant. This morning, I bought a controlling interest in your company. So you will now respect me.
Why... would you do this?
You ruined my husband's life. It is because of you we were on that plane. Two people are responsible for his death. You are one of them. I am going to have my baby. And then we shall discuss the plans for the future of the company. Our company.
So tell me something, Ben. What is it that makes you so important, hmm? I'm curious. I'm curious as to why Mr. Widmore would pay me so much money just to come out here and capture you and bring you back alive.
Charles Widmore tell you to kill my daughter?
[to Jack] Lie to them, Jack. If you do it half as well as you lie to yourself, they'll believe you.
I know you're down here, Ben. Crouching in the dark, just waiting to take a shot at me.
[as Dr. Edgar Halliwax, on video] This... is "the vault"...
Well, you better aim for the head, Ben! Not like your boyfriend who shot me in the back like a coward!
...to avoid leaving inorganic materials inside...
This body armor's, um, been known to take a bullet or two in its time. But before you take your shot, Ben, let me tell you about this. [revealing a device strapped to his arm] See that? I took out a bit of a--a life insurance policy, Ben. It's a heart rate monitor, and it's connected to a radio transmitter. W--we call it a "dead man's trigger", Ben. If my heart stops beating...it sends a little signal to the 500 pounds of C-4 that I've got hardwired out there on the freighter that'd kill a lot of innocent people, Ben. If you think I'm bluffing, need I remind you of, uh... how your daughter looked as she bled out? Face-down in the grass?
[Keamy hears a noise and whirls around to face Locke]
Who the hell are you?
My name is John Locke, and I have no... conflict with you. And neither do the people on that boat. So... why don't you put your knife down? We can talk about this.
Well, John Locke... I've never really been one for talk.
[Ben attacks Keamy from behind, knocking him to the ground with a baton and stabbing him multiple times in the neck]
You killed my daughter. You killed my daughter!
Ben! Ben! Ben, stop! No, no! Stop!
[Locke pulls Ben off Keamy]
Ben, what did you do?
[Keamy's device starts beeping]
You just killed everybody on that boat.
[beat] So?
[dying] Wherever you go... Widmore... he'll find you.
Not if I find him first.
We're gonna have to lie.
Lie about what?
Everything, all of it, every moment since we crashed on the island.
Jack... now I know I'm new to this group and everything, but isn't this the place where everybody starts jumping up and down and hugging each other?
Your freighter... those men came to the island to kill us, all of us. You said that our plane was discovered on the bottom of the ocean. Well, someone put it there--someone who wants everyone to think that we're dead. So what do you think's gonna happen to us when we tell them that that wasn't our plane? What do you think's gonna happen to the people that we left behind?
Jack, we can't. We can't pull it off.
Just let me do the talking.
