Ben Linus:
You have to understand, everything I did, I did for the Island.

Mikhail Bakunin:
The Island told you it was necessary for you to jam your own people?

Ben Linus:
Yes it did. You've always been a loyalist, Mikhail, now I'm asking you to trust me, to trust Jacob who told me to do this.

Mikhail Bakunin:
Why would Jacob ask you to lie to your own people?

Ben Linus:
Because this Island is under assault by forces stronger than anything its had to deal with in many many years. And we are meant to protect it, Mikhail, by any means necessary. The jamming was for everyone's security. We are in a serious situation here.
