Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Ben checks into the hotel, he uses the name Dean Moriarty, one of the main characters in Jack Kerouac's novel 'On the Road'.
- GoofsWhen Ben is watching the TV in the hotel and Sayid's name shows up in Arabic at the bottom of the screen, the Arabic is typed wrong and his last name is misspelled. Most Arabic letters are connected together to form a word, while on the screen each letter is disjointed. The first 3 characters (starting from the right) is Sayid's first name and should all be connected as one, the last 4 characters are his last name (which is misspelled) and should say 'Jarrah', but instead says "Jaar[ah]" (which would mean "neighbor" in English when connected, altogether different translation of his surname). The 5th and 6th character should be swapped with each other and the last character is the wrong letter of the Arabic sound 'H.' Also, the second line under his name makes no sense, it seems like they were trying for it to read 'Oceanic 6' but misspelled the word. Some other trivial errors also exist throughout the episode wherever Arabic is typed.
- Quotes
Keamy: Tell your daddy 'goodbye'.
[hands Alex the walkie]
Alex: [crying] Dad, they're serious. They killed Karl and my mother.
Ben Linus: Alex, I have this under control. Everything's going to be OK.
Alex: Please, daddy! Please.
[Keamy takes back the walkie]
Keamy: You have 10 seconds, Ben.
Ben Linus: OK, listen...
Keamy: 9.
Ben Linus: She's not my daughter...
Keamy: 8.
Ben Linus: I stole her as a baby from an insane woman. She's a pawn. Nothing more. She means nothing to me.
[Alex cries]
Ben Linus: I'm not coming out of this house so if you want to kill her, go ahead and do it...
[a muffled gunshot interrupts Ben. Alex falls to the ground, Keamy standing over her, his gun pointed down where her head was. Ben is shocked, dumbfounded]

It's about a year into the future and Ben wakes up and finds himself in the middle of the Sahara Desert. How did he get there you might ask? The answer is revealed later down the track.
I never trusted Ben when I was watching the show on TV but now I appreciate him and he's just an awesome character. If you love Ben, then I guarantee you'll love this episode.
