Michael Emerson credited as playing...
Ben Linus
- Ben Linus: It's C4, Richard. I put some thought into hiding it.
- Miles Straume: Let me guess, cookie jar?
- Ben Linus: Are you thirsty?
- John Locke: This is the well I threw Desmond Hume into.
- Ben Linus: What's the matter?
- John Locke: I sent Sayid to kill Desmond. Obviously he didn't.
- Ben Linus: Looks like someone helped him out.
- John Locke: No, Ben, someone helped *me* out.
- Ben Linus: What did Widmore say to you?
- John Locke: He said Desmond was a fail safe. Jacob's last resort in case, God forbid, I managed to kill all of his beloved candidates. One final way to make sure that I never leave this place.
- Ben Linus: Then... why are you happy that he's still alive?
- John Locke: Because I'm gonna find Desmond, and when I do, he's gonna help me do the one thing that I could never do myself. I'm gonna destroy the island.
