Quotes 

• Ben Linus : Mikhail, you need to go down to The Looking Glass and find out what Charlie Pace is doing down there.

  Mikhail Bakunin : You told us The Looking Glass was inoperable, flooded.

  Ben Linus : I lied. Mikhail, I need you to go, now!

  Mikhail Bakunin : I can be there by dawn. But if Juliet told them about The Looking Glass, what else did she tell them?

• Alex : You locked Karl in a cage. You put him in a room and tried to brainwash him.

  Ben Linus : I didn't want him to get you pregnant. I suppose I overreacted.

• 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 it's 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.

• Richard Alpert : We're going to the radio tower?

  Ben Linus : Not we, Richard, me. You're going to take everyone to the temple as planned.

  Richard Alpert : Now might not be the best time to go tromping off on your own.

  Ben Linus : Oh really, and why not?

  Richard Alpert : Because people are asking questions, Ben. About leaving home, about what happened to Locke, about Jacob. Not to mention the rapidly spreading rumour that everyone that went down to the beach is dead.

  Ben Linus : They're not all dead.
