" He's very quiet." " I need two months up front." "Here, honey." "Hey, no running." "You hear me, Miles?" "[Miles] Mom!" "Mommy!" "Help!" "Mommy!" "Miles?" "Miles, what happened?" "Mommy." "Oh, God..." "Mr Vonner." " What were you doing in here?" " He..." "He was all alone..." "he was scared..." "His chest hurt." " He kept calling out for Kimberly..." " Kimberly?" "That's his wife." "Well, she died last year." "Now, how would you know that?" " I heard him." " Miles, what are you talking about?" "He's still talking right now!" "Honey he's dead." " I told you," "I can hear him!" "I can hear him!" "[Sawyer] Miles, you there?" "Pick up." " Jim?" "Where are you?" " I'll fill you in later." " I need you to take care of something." " What?" "The security tapes from the pylon camera feeds, they need to accidentally get erased." "Erased?" "Why?" "I ain't got time for questions, Miles, just do it." "OK, OK..." "Uh, which ones?" "Look on your monitors." "You see us?" "Yeah, you're on number 4." "Is that Kate?" " What are you doing out there?" " Just erase number 4." "If anyone asks, I'm off the grid looking for the escaped hostile." " You mean your pal, Sayid?" " Damn it, Miles!" " You gonna help me or not?" " Yeah, yeah." "I got it." "All right." "I owe you one." "I want you go back, find Juliet, see if anyone's noticed Ben's gone missing." "What are you gonna do when they find out?" "Do my best to cover it up." "Case you haven't noticed I'm head of security." "All right, see you back there." "Where's LaFleur?" "He's out looking for the escaped prisoner." "I tried to get him on his walkie, but he must be out of range." " Damn it." "All right." "Then it's gonna have to be you." "Jim already knows about this, but I'm gonna bring you in the circle of trust." " Can I trust you, Miles?" " Absolutely, Horace." "OK." "Good." "I need you to take this out to Radzinsky at grid 334." "He's going to give you something in return." "Bring it back to me, with no questions asked." "You understand?" "Um..." "We're not supposed to be in 334." "Isn't that hostile territory?" "Welcome to the circle of trust." "Stop right there!" "Miles?" "What are you doing here?" "I was expecting LaFleur." "LaFleur's busy." "Horace sent me instead." " I'm in the circle of trust." " Get out!" "I'm supposed to give you this." "He said you had something for me." " What happened to him?" " He had an accident." " What kind of accident?" " He fell into a ditch." "Is that a bullet hole in his head?" "The ditch had a gun?" "It doesn't matter what happened, knowing that is not your job." "Your job is to do what I tell you to." "Take him back to Horace now, Miles." "OK so what really happened?" "I need to see her." "[dog barking]" "Ma?" "It's me." "Miles?" "I'm..." "I'm sorry that I couldn't make it by sooner." " It's OK." "You're here now." "Why did you come, Miles?" "I need you to tell me why I'm this way." "How I do the things I do." "And I need to know why you won't talk to me about my father." "Because he never cared about us." "Never cared about you." " I need to know where he is, Ma." " It doesn't matter where..." " It does matter." " Miles, please..." " I have a right to know!" " He's dead!" "Your father kicked us out when you were just a baby." "He didn't want anything to do with us." "So the less you knew about him, the better." "Why didn't you just tell me?" "Because it was over." "Your dad has been dead a long time." "Where's his body?" "Somewhere you can never go." "Pierre, if it was caused by the electromagnetism, we need to know." "You want to see it now?" "Yeah, he just got back." "I'll send him out with it right away." "OK." " Did you bring the package?" " "Package"?" "You mean corpse?" "Yeah." "Now I need you to bring it out to Dr Chang at the Orchid." "Listen, man, I'm security." "If you need somebody to drive, can't someone from the motor pool do it?" "If I wanted someone from the motor pool, I would've asked them." "And since LaFleur decided to disappear, you're all I've got." "So just bring it out to Dr Chang and we'll all call it a day, OK?" "Hey." "What the hell are you doing?" "That's my van." " I just signed it out." " It doesn't matter." "It's mine." " Where you going?" " The Orchid." "Me, too!" "I made lunch for the crew." "Sandwiches." "You want one?" "Ham and cheese." "I made my secret garlic mayo." " You're waiting for the next van." " We're going the same place." "We carpool, help global warming, which hasn't happened, we can prevent it!" "Wait a second." "Are you on some kind of secret mission?" "Just get in." " Hey." " How'd it go?" "We gave him to them, to the Others." " Anyone see you?" " I don't think so." " Did James help?" " Yes." " Thank you so much for sending him." " Of course." "I got here as soon as I could." "All the vans were out so I had to ru..." "Where's Ben?" " Did he..." " No... no." " Roger..." " Where is he?" "I'm so sorry." "I was gone ten minutes." " I don't know." " What?" " He was dying, how can he be gone?" " I don't know..." "He got up and walked out?" "You're his doctors." "You're supposed to watch him." "I know." "I know." "If we just calm down..." "Don't tell me to calm down!" " Somebody came and took my boy?" " I know!" "I'm so sorry!" "I'm going to security!" "Well here we go."
