WHOOSH to the island, were Alpert asks Ben if he wants the tape recorder with instructions for Juliet taken back to the medical station. But Ben thought Alpert already took it. He goes outside to ask Tom about it and sees Locke walking into their camp carrying the body of his father. Locke reminds Ben that if he killed his father, Ben would tell him everything about the island. Locke throws the body down and suggests Ben start at the beginning.
Ben tells Locke that he isn’t the leader of their community. Everyone answers to someone, and Ben answers to Jacob. Locke then wants to be taken to Jacob, but Ben can’t do that. Jacob will only talk to be Ben. Ben was born on the island and everyone else was brought there. Jacob trusts Ben and tells him what to do. No one else has even seen him. Locke thinks Ben is lying but makes Ben take him to Jacob anyway.
