Lost, Season Four

Hurley:
I'm one of the Oceanic Six! I'm one of the Oceanic Six!

Charlie:
(written on his hand) THEY NEED YOU

Abbadon:
Mr Reyes. Hello. My name is Matthew Abaddon. I'm an attorney for Oceanic Airlines. Can we talk for a few minutes?

Hurley:
Ok.

Abbadon:
I'm here, Mr Reyes, because we heard about your recent (pauses) episode. Your arrest. Your incarceration here. Frankly we feel terrible about it. So, on behalf of Oceanic, I'd like to extend you an invitation for a little upgrade.

Hurley:
What kind of upgrade?

Abbadon:
To a facility where the paint isn't peeling off the walls. Where you'd have your own bathroom. You could see the ocean from there...

Hurley:
I don't wanna see the ocean.

Abbadon:
No problem.

Hurley:
Actually thanks, I'm, I'm fine right here.

Abbadon:
Are you fine Mr Reyes?

Hurley:
What do you mean?

Abbadon:
You're in a mental institution.

Hurley:
Who'd you say you were again? I'd like to see a business card.

Abbadon:
(Abaddon reaches into his pocket, and presents nothing)I must have left them at home.

Hurley:
Then we're done, dude. (Hurley gets up)

Abbadon:
Are they still alive?

Hurley:
(Pauses) What?

Abbadon:
You heard me.

Hurley:
Nurse. Nurse! Get out of here! You better get out of here! Help me. Help me, he's after me. No no no. That guy's after me. Help me. (Hurley looks over at Abbadon and he leaves)

[Upon seeing Locke, Jack immediately attacks him, beating him to the ground. Locke goes for his gun, but Jack grabs it away and aims it him. The group looks on, shocked.]

Locke:
You won't shoot me, Jack. Anymore than I was gonna-[Is cut off when Jack pulls the trigger. But nothing happens.]

Locke:
[Amazed] It's not loaded...

[Jack begins to continue beating Locke before he is pulled off by Sawyer and Sayid]

Jack:
Let go of me![To Sayid] Do you know what he did?!

Sayid:
Yes, I know what he did!

Locke:
All I did, all I have ever done, has been in the best interests of all of us.

Jack:
Are you insane!?

Locke:
I know I have a lot of explaining to do. But I never did anything to hurt any of you. I even risked my life to tell you there was a traitor in your midst.[Points at Juliet]

Jack:
She helped us, John. All you ever did was blow up every chance we've had of getting off of this Island! You killed Naomi.

Ben:
Well, technically, he didn't kill her. Yet.

Kate:
[Just arriving] Yes he did. She just died. She didn't give you up, John. She covered for us, and she fixed this.[Hands Jack the phone] They're on their way.

Locke:
She didn't cover for anyone. She wants her people to come here. And trust me, when they do we had all better be far away from here. I'm going to the Barracks. The Others abandoned them. It's the only place on the Island with any form of security, so it'll have to do until I can think of something else. Until then, if you wanna live, you need to come with me.

Jack:
No one's going anywhere with you, John. Because they're not crazy.

Hurley:
[teary eyed] He's not crazy! What about Charlie? Charlie went down to that place so we could all be rescued. And whatever he did down there, it worked. But then something must have happened. He must have heard something before he...[Becomes overwhelemed with emotion] I don't know why, but he changed his mind. Because the last thing he did was warn us that the people on that boat are not who they said they were. So I'm not listening to you! I'm listening to my friend. I'm listening to Charlie.

Kate:
What are you doing?

Sawyer:
Same thing I've always done Kate: surviving.

Jack:
Do you ever miss?

Hurley:
Jack.

Jack:
Yeah, I was on my way back from a consult. Thought I'd drop by and pay you a visit. Horse?

Hurley:
You're on. So consult huh? Does that mean you're back doing surgical stuff? (Jack starts playing basketball with Hurley)

Jack:
Yeah. (Hurley shoots and scores. Jack shoots and misses) H

Hurley:
Reporters leaving you alone? (Hurley shoots and scores)

Jack:
Yeah. Still have to sign some autographs when I go out for coffee. Thinking about growing a beard. (He shoots and misses again)

Hurley:
You'd look weird with a beard, dude. That's H O. So, what are you really doing here, Jack?

Jack:
I was just checking on ya, seeing if everything was ok.

Hurley:
Checking to see if I was nuts, if I was gonna tell.

Jack:
Are you?

Hurley:
You're up.

Jack:
Nah, you win. I, er, I gotta run. It was great seeing you Hurley. (Jack starts to leave)

Hurley:
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I went with Locke. I should have stayed with you.

Jack:
Its water under the bridge, man.

Hurley:
I don't think we did the right thing, Jack. I think it wants us to come back.

Jack:
Hurley.

Hurley:
And its going to do everything it can...

Jack:
(Shouts) We're never going back!(Jack heads for the door)

Hurley:
Never say never, dude.

Daniel Faraday:
Are you Jack?

Locke:
Let's go.

Sawyer:
Why are you going East? Thought you said the Barracks were due South.

Locke:
Because, James, we have to make a little detour first.

Sawyer:
Detour to what?

Locke:
There's a cabin I have to go to.

Hurley:
I think the cabin was back that way.

Locke:
What did you say Hugo?

Hurley:
I never, thought you were talking about the airplane cabin.

(Locke stares at Hurley. So does Ben)

Sawyer:
Why are we wasting our time going to some shack anyway?

Locke:
Because we're supposed to.

Sawyer:
Right. Like you were supposed to throw a knife into that Naomi chick's back.

Locke:
Ahuh.

Sawyer:
You mind telling us who you're getting your orders from, Colonel Kurtz?

Locke:
I got em from Walt.

Sawyer:
What the hell do you mean you saw Walt? In a dream?

Locke:
No dream, it was Walt. Only, taller.

Sawyer:
Taller? What like a giant? OK, what exactly did Walt tell you?

Locke:
He said I had work to do. That I had to stop this woman, Naomi, from bringing the rest of her people here.

Sawyer:
What you didn't ask any follow-up questions?

Locke:
Ben had shot me and left me for dead, Walt saved my life, so I pretty much took him at his word.

Sawyer:
He shot you? Yet here you are fit as a fiddle tromping through the jungle.

(Locke shows Sawyer his wound)

Locke:
The bullet went in one side, came out the other. I'd probably be dead if I still had a kidney there. Anything else?

Jack:
You need to put the guns down.

Miles:
What?

Jack:
Put the guns down.

Miles:
Now why would I do that?

Jack:
Because our friends are out in the jungle right holding a gun at your head and his head, so I'm gonna forget about the misunderstanding, just put the guns down!

Miles:
Come on, how stupid do you think I-

[Several shots ring out, and Juliet and Sayid come out the bushes with guns aimed at Miles and Daniel. Kate grabs Daniel's gun and aims it at him, but Miles continues to hold his]

Jack:
I don't know, Miles. How stupid are you?

[Locke is about to execute Ben]

Ben:
John, listen. I have information that you need. I have answers.

Locke:
What is the monster?

Ben:
What?

Locke:
The black smoke, the monster! What is it?

Ben:
I don't know.

[Locke loads his gun]

Locke:
Goodbye, Benjamin.

Ben:
Her name is Charlotte Lewis! [Charlotte looks shocked] Charlotte Staples Lewis. Born July 2, 1979, Essex, England. Parents David and Jeanette. Eldest of three, all girls. She was raised in Bromsgrove. Did her undergraduate studies at Kent. Took her PhD in cultural anthropology at Oxford. She's here with two other team members and a pilot. Their names are Daniel Faraday, Miles Straume, Frank Lapidus. [Charlotte continues to look shocked] Your instinct was right, John. These people are a threat.

Sawyer:
(to Ben): You ready to give us the name, Gizmo?

Locke:
He's not going to tell you who his spy is on their boat, James.

Sawyer:
Yeah, why not?

Locke:
Because that's the only thing keeping him alive.

Sawyer:
Well here's an idea: why don't we take a gun, point it to his big toe and send that little piggy to the market.[Ben looks slightly amused.]

Sawyer:
(continues) And if he still doesn't want to tell us, move on to the roast beef. Why don't we do that?

Locke:
Because then we'd have to carry him.

Kate:
Kinda sucks, huh?

Jack:
What's that?

Kate:
Being told not to come along. (Jack chuckles) Now you know what it feels like to be me.

Jack:
Does that mean I should wait twenty minutes and go anyway? (Both laugh.)

Kate:
(smiling) Touché.

Sayid:
Naomi, were you close to her?

Miles:
Nope. Met her on the boat.

Sayid:
You don't seem particularly affected by her death.

Miles:
Sure I'm affected. She was hot and I dug her accent.

Kate:
Nice.

Sayid:
And this woman, Charlotte. You don't really care about her, do you?

Miles:
Define care.

Sayid:
So much for camaraderie.

Miles:
Yeah, gee, who's the one going after one of their crash buddies with guns? Actually, I do care about Locke. Maybe you can tell me how he managed to split your happy little family in half.

Sayid:
(glances at Kate) There was a fundamental debate as to whether your people were coming to rescue us... or kill us.

Miles:
And which side did you land on?

Sayid:
I let you know when I decide.

Daniel Faraday:
I think Eloise's brain short-circuited. The jumps between the present and the future eventually, she eventually, she couldn't tell which was which. She had no anchor.

Desmond:
What do you mean, "anchor"?

Daniel Faraday:
Something familiar in both times. All this, see all this is all variables. It's random; it's chaotic. Every equation needs stability, something known. It's called a "constant." Desmond, you have no constant. When you go to the future nothing there is familiar. So if you want to stop this, then you need to find something there, something that you really, really care about, something that also exists back here in 1996.

Desmond:
This constant, can it be a person?

Daniel Faraday:
Yeah, maybe. But you have to make contact. Didn't you say you were out on a boat in the middle of nowhere? [Desmond picks up a phone and begins dialing] Uh, who are you calling?

Desmond:
Calling my bloody constant.

[on the phone]

Desmond:
I love you, Penny. I've always loved you. I'm so sorry. I love you.

Penelope:
I love you too.

Desmond:
I don't know where I am but,

Penelope:
I'll find you, Des,

Desmond:
I promise,

Penelope:
no matter what-

Desmond:
I'll come back to you.

Penelope:
I won't give up.

Desmond:
I promise.

Penelope:
I promise.

Desmond, Penelope:
I love you.

Jack:
You people had therapists?

Juliet:
It's very stressful being an Other, Jack.

Juliet:
You knew this would happen. You sent him out here because you knew this would happen. You wanted this! You wanted him to die! Why?

Ben:
Why? You're asking me why? After everything I did to get you here, after everything I've done to keep you here - how can you possibly not understand...that you're mine!

Jack:
Hey. Are you all right? [He touches Juliets face]

Juliet:
He wanted me to kill them. Ben. He sent Harper to tell me to kill them.

Jack:
How could he possibly tell you that?

Juliet:
I don't know! But he knew how to get to me. Don't you see? These people came here to wage war against Ben. And Ben's going to win. And when he does you don't want to be anywere near me.

Jack:
[Quietly]: Why not?

Juliet:
[Pause]: Because he thinks that I'm his. And he knows how I feel about you.

[Jack walks up to Juliet, and kisses her]

Jack:
He knows where to find me.

Ben:
See you at dinner.

Hurley:
We're all gonna die.

Sawyer:
Calm down, Chicken Little. Sky ain't falling just yet.

Hurley:
This is exactly what he wants. To fight amongst ourselves. You're making a big mistake, dude.

Locke:
It's his to make, Hugo. Let's get on with it.

Sawyer:
Right. [pauses] I'm attacking Siberia. [The camera zooms out revealing that they are playing Risk. Sawyer and Hurley roll the dice, and Sawyer wins.] Sorry.

Hurley:
Can't believe you're just giving him Australia. Australia's the key to the whole game.

Sawyer:
Says you.

Martin Keamy:
Mr. Linus, these are my terms. You're gonna step out the front door, put your hands above your head, and you're gonna walk straight to me. Once I have you in my custody, I promise that no one else in that house will be harmed.

Ben:
You and I both know that once you have me there's nothing to stop you from killing everybody else on this island.

Martin Keamy:
What kind of guy do you think I am?

Ben:
Martin Christopher Keamy, former First Sergeant, United States Marine Corps. Served with distinction from 1996 to 2001, but since then you've worked with a number of mercenary organizations, specifically in Uganda. So I know exactly what kind of man you are, Mr. Keamy, and we can dispense with the formalities.

[Ben tries to dissuade Keamy from killing Alex]

Ben:
She's not my daughter. I stole her as a baby from an insane woman. She's a pawn, nothing more. She means nothing to me. (pauses) I'm not coming out of his house. So if you want to kill her, go ahead and...

[Keamy shoots Alex]

[Just after Alex was killed while Ben watched]

Ben:
He changed the rules.

[The survivors watch as the monster, which is much bigger than ever before and with lightning going though it, attacks the mercenaries at the tree line]

Locke:
[to Ben] What did you do?!

Hurley:
You just called that thing?!

Jack:
Are you ever gonna take us off this island?

Daniel Faraday:
No.

[Ben has just broken into Charles Widmore's penthouse]

Charles Widmore:
Why are you here?

Ben:
I'm here, Charles, because you murdered my daughter.

Charles Widmore:
Don't stand there looking at me with those horrible eyes of yours, and lay the blame for the death of that poor girl on me, when we both know very well I didn't murder her at all, Benjamin. You did.

Ben:
No, that's not true.

Charles Widmore:
Yes, Benjamin, it is. You creep into my bedroom in the dead of night, like a rat, and have the audacity to pretend that you're the victim? I know who you are, boy, what you are. I know that everything you have you took from me. [pauses] So. Once again I ask you, why are you here?

Ben:
I'm here, Charles, to tell you that I'm going to kill your daughter. Penelope, is it? And once she's gone, once she's dead, then you'll understand how I feel, and you'll wish you hadn't changed the rules.

Charles Widmore:
You'll never find her. [Ben turns around and begins to walk away] That island's mine, Benjamin. It always was. It will be again.

Ben:
[Turns around] But you'll never find it.

Charles Widmore:
Then I suppose the hunt is on for both of us.

Ben:
I suppose it is. Sleep tight, Charles.

Jack:
[Reading to Aaron] "Alice took up the fan, and as the hall was very hot she kept fanning herself all the time she went on talking, dear, dear. How queer everything is today. And yesterday,things went on just as usual. I wonder if I've been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? But if I'm not the same, the next question is, 'who in the world am I?' Aha, that's the great puzzle."

Kate:
You're a natural.

Jack:
Yeah?

Kate:
Yeah.

Jack:
My old man used to read me that story.

Kate:
Really?

Jack:
What?

Kate:
It's just... it's just sweet hearing you say nice things about your dad.

Jack:
I don't say nice things about my dad? Well, he was a good storyteller. I'll give him that.

[He comes closer]

Jack:
You okay?

Kate:
Just,I...I love seeing you with him. I'm so glad you changed your mind. I'm so glad that you're here.

Jack:
Me too.

[They kiss and Jack carries Kate to the bedroom]

Jack:
Hey, Hurley.

Hurley:
Hey, Jack.

Jack:
Why aren't you taking your meds?

Hurley:
'Cause we're dead... all of us. All the oceanic six. We're all dead. We never got off that island.

Jack:
Hurley... that is not true.

Hurley:
What'd you do today?

Jack:
What did I do today? I,uh... [Sighs] I woke up, took a shower. Uh, Kate and I fed the baby.

Hurley:
I thought you didn't want anything to do with Aaron.

Jack:
I changed my mind after the trial.

Hurley:
Living with Kate... taking care of Aaron... it all seems so perfect... just like heaven.

Jack:
Just because I'm happy doesn't mean that this isn't real, Hurley.

Hurley:
I was happy, too, Jack... for a while, anyway. Then I saw Charlie. He likes to sit with me on the bench out on the front lawn. It's pretty cool, actually.

Jack:
Okay. [Sighs] so what do the two of you talk about?

Hurley:
Well, yesterday, he told me you were gonna be coming by. He wanted me to give you a message.

Jack:
A message?

Hurley:
[Opens the drawer] He made me write it down so I wouldn't mess it up. "You're not supposed to raise him, Jack" Does that make any sense?

Jack:
No, that...doesn't make any sense.

Hurley:
Do you think he means Aaron?

Jack:
Take your meds, Hurley. Just take them.

Hurley:
Hey, Jack? Charlie said someone's gonna be visiting you, too. Soon.

Jack:
Kate? Kate? Wake up, Kate.

Kate:
What time is it?

Jack:
It's late. I just got home.

Kate:
Were you working?

Jack:
No. I... I just...had to stop and get something. It just took a while.

Kate:
What's going on? What's wrong?

Jack:
The other night, when I was reading to Aaron, you said... that I was a natural. [Sighs] Do you really... do you really think that I'm good at this?

Kate:
Yeah! You're good at this.

Jack:
[pauses] Will you marry me?

Kate:
[crying] Yes.

[Jack pulls out a small box and shows the ring]

Kate:
Of course I will, Yes!

[She wears it on her finger and they tearfully embrace]

Jin:
Charlotte.

Charlotte:
Yeah?

Jin:
I know you understand me.

Charlotte:
Pardon?

Jin:
I know you speak Korean. You smiled when Sun and I talked about you and you were listening to us at the station.

Charlotte:
I'm sorry. Perhaps I can get your wife to translate...

Jin:
You know, if you continue to lie, I'm going to hurt your friend Daniel, I'm going to break his fingers one at a time, do you understand that?

Charlotte:
[In Korean] What do you want?

Jin:
When you helicopter comes for you, you're going to take my wife off this island.

Charlotte:
What about you and the rest of your friends?

Jin:
Just get her on the helicopter.

Kate:
[On the phone]: Yeah, I'll just have the nanny stay for an extra couple hours. Jack's never home before 8:00. I could stay for at least an hour.

[Kate sees Jack watching her]

Kate:
I-I gotta go. Jack's home. Yeah, okay. I'll call you later. Bye.

[Kate hangs up]

Kate:
You scared me.

Jack:
[Smiles] Sorry. I thought you'd be in bed [Brief pause] Who was that?

Kate:
That was Noreen.

Jack:
Noreen..

Kate:
She's one of the moms from the park [Smiles] What?

Jack:
[Smiles] Nothing. I just...never heard you mention her before.

Kate:
Well, now you have [She kisses him] I'll see you upstairs.

Bernard:
It went well. She did good. She said you could go back inside if you want to.

Kate:
Thank you

Bernard:
Okay.

[Kate enters the tent]

Juliet:
He didn't lose that much blood. I got the appendix out and put everything back where it belongs, I think.

Kate:
Yeah. So, he's gonna be okay?

Juliet:
He should be fine. We just have to talk him into resting.

Kate:
Good luck with that!

Juliet:
I'm sorry I yelled at you.

Kate:
Don't worry about it. You had enough going on.

[Pause]

Juliet:
You know, he kissed me.

Kate:
What?

Juliet:
The other day, when you came back from the other side of the island, Jack kissed me.

Kate:
Oh...

Juliet:
It was nice. But it wasn't for me. But it was for him. I'm pretty sure he was trying to prove something.

Kate:
Prove what?

Juliet:
That he doesn't love some else.

[Pause]

Kate:
Thank you, Juliet. Thank you for saving his life.

[Kate goes out of the tent]

[Pause]

Juliet:
I know you're awake.

[Jack opens his eyes]

[Kate arrives at home]

Kate:
Hey you're home early. Where's Veronica?

Jack:
I sent her home. The baby's sleep.

Kate:
Good.

[Ice cubes rattle]

Jack:
Why was she here?

Kate:
Sorry?

Jack:
The nanny. She only works till 4:00. I came home 6:00.

Kate:
I had to run some errands so... [Sets keys down] I asked her to stay a couple extra hours [Pauses] What's going on, Jack? Why are you home so early?

Jack:
I went to see Hurley.

Kate:
Today?

Jack:
Last Friday.

Kate:
Why didn't you tell me? I would've gone with you.

[Jack laughs]

Jack:
Because he's crazy, Kate and I didn't wanna upset you. [Pauses] Where were you today?

[Kate kneels in front of him]

Kate:
I'm gonna ask you... to trust me. Trust me and just leave it be.

Jack:
Where were you?

Kate:
Jack, don't.

Jack:
No, I heard you on the phone last night. Who were you talking to?

Kate:
Just let it go.

Jack:
No, no, I wanna know!

Kate:
No, Jack.

Jack:
I wanna know where you were. I wanna know who you were with.

Kate:
It doesn't matter, Jack. Please.

Jack:
No, TELL ME!

[Kate starts to cry]

Kate:
I was doing something for him.

Jack:
For who?

Kate:
For Sawyer. I made him a promise...

Jack:
What?

Kate:
It doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with us!

Jack:
Then why won't you tell me?

Kate:
Because, because he wouldn't want me to.

Jack:
But he's not here, is he? No, no, he made his choice. He chose to stay.

Jack:
I'm the one who came back. I'm the one who's here. I'm the one who saved you.

Kate:
Jack--You can't, you can't do this. If you have problems, you need to figure them out. All right? 'Cause I can't have you like this around my son.

Jack:
Your son? You're not even related to him!

[Aaron is seen walking down the hall nearby]

Kate:
[Gasps] Hey, sweet pea.

Locke:
You ever wonder what happened to the Dharma Initiative, Hugo? There must have been at least a hundred of 'em living on this island. Manning the stations, building those homes, making all that ranch dressing that you like. And then, one day, they're all gone, they just disappear. You wanna know where we're going? [Walks over to the pit that contains the bodies of the Dharma Initiative] We're going to see them.

Hurley:
What happened to them?

Locke:
[Jerks his head at Ben] He did.

[Locke, Ben, and Hurley are looking for Jacob's cabin]

Locke:
It should be about two hundred yards this way.

Ben:
You sure it's gonna be there, John?

Locke:
I'm sorry?

Ben:
The cabin. What if its moved, again?

Locke:
It hasn't moved, because I was told this is where it would be.

Ben:
I was told a lot of things too. That I was chosen, that I was special. I end up with a tumor on my spine and my daughter's blood all over my hands.

Locke:
I'm sorry those things happened to you, Ben.

Ben:
Those things had to happen to me. That was my destiny. But you'll understand soon enough that there are consequences to being chosen. Because destiny, John, is a fickle bitch.

[Jack, Kate, Sun, Hurley, Sayid, and Aaron are about to arrive in Honolulu and be questioned by the press]

Jack:
If we get any questions we don't wanna answer, or that we can't answer, let's just keep our mouths shut. [Everyone stares at him without saying anything] It's okay, they'll think that we're in shock.

Sun:
We are in shock, Jack.

Jack:
Well, then this should be easy.

[Sayid has just arrived back at the beach in the Zodiac]

Juliet:
Sayid, where's Desmond?

Sayid:
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.

Juliet:
Why do we have to go to the boat before the chopper gets back?

Sayid:
Because the men on that helicopter have every intention of killing us all. [Juliet looks scared] What?

Juliet:
Jack and Kate just went running after it.

[Locke, Ben and Hurley are looking at the armed men in the Orchid Station]

Locke:
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.

Ben:
I'm gonna take care of 'em.

Locke:
And how the hell are you gonna do that?

Ben:
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.]

Ben:
You know those are 15 years old?

Jack:
We have to go back! WE HAVE TO GO BACK!

Kate:
"We have to go back"? "We have to go back"?

Jack:
Now hold on--

Kate:
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.

Jack:
Yes.

Kate:
Him, of all people.

Jack:
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]

Kate:
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!

Jack:
I'm sorry.

Kate:
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?

Jack:
What did you want to talk to me about, John?

Locke:
I want you to reconsider leaving the island, Jack. I would like you to stay.

Jack:
You'd like me to stay.

Locke:
Yeah. That's right.

Jack:
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.

Locke:
Well Jack, you put a gun to my head and pulled the trigger. I was hoping we could let bygones be bygones.

Locke:
Jack, you're not supposed to go home.

Jack:
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.

Locke:
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.

Jack:
Goodbye John.

Locke:
You're gonna have to lie.

Jack:
Excuse me?

Locke:
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.

Jack:
It's an island, John. No one needs to protect it.

Locke:
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.

Jack:
There's no such thing as miracles.

Locke:
Well... we'll just have to see which one of us is right.

Locke:
Jacob told me what we had to do. You don't get to make all the decisions--

Ben:
He told you what to do, but he didn't tell you how because he wants me to suffer the consequences.

Locke:
What consequences?

Ben:
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.

Locke:
Waiting for me?

Ben:
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]

Locke:
What do I tell 'em to do?

Ben:
You'll find your way, John. You always do.

Ben:
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?

Jack:
Yes, he did.

Ben:
When did you speak to him?

Jack:
About a month ago.

Ben:
And Kate?

Jack:
Yeah. Yeah, he came to see her, too.

Ben:
And what did he say to you?

Jack:
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.

Ben:
Yes, I heard that you've been flying on passenger planes... hoping that you'd crash. That's dark, Jack, very dark.

Jack:
Why are you here?

Ben:
I'm here to tell you that the island won't let you come alone. All of you have to go back.

Jack:
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.

Ben:
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.

Jack:
How?

Ben:
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]
