[Cut to a shot of Ben's face in the operating room. He's lying face down on the operating table, so we're seeing a shot of him from the floor up to see his face.]
TOM: Is it true?
JACK: Is what true?
TOM: What you said -- did Juliet really ask you to kill him?
JACK: Yeah, and in about 40 minutes she's going to get her wish.
BEN [coming to]: Hey, that's not helping anything. Now, could somebody please get Juliet?
[Later]
Back on the island, we see Juliet pacing outside as Tom approaches.]
TOM: Juliet, Ben's awake.
JULIET: How?
TOM: Shephard says he's a spinal surgeon, not an anesthesiologist. Ben's asking for you.
[Later]
[Back in the operating room.]
JACK: I stopped the surgery.
BEN: I know. I've been able to hear you for a few minutes now. It's very clever of you. I should have seen it coming.
JACK: Are you in pain? I can...
BEN: No, but thanks all the same.
[Juliet and Tom enter.]
BEN: I'd like to speak to Juliet alone, please, Jack.
JACK: No. No, I'm sorry.
BEN: Please, I'm asking you one gentleman to another. It won't hurt you to give me three minutes, will it -- knowing I have only 27 left?
JACK [exiting, to Juliet]: If you touch him, if you...
JULIET: I won't.
JACK: You've got three minutes.
[Jack moves to the observation window and watches Juliet sit next to Ben. We see Ben talking, but can't hear what he's saying. Tom joins Jack at the window.]
TOM: I'm Tom, by the way.
[Jack doesn't respond; and we see Ben talking again, but can't hear him. Jack and Tom continue watching.]
TOM: They've got history.
[Juliet exits the operating room and goes to Jack.]
JULIET: I would like you to go back in there, put Ben under, and finish the surgery.
JACK: And why would I want to do that?
JULIET: Because I'm going to go help your friends escape.
[Back in the Hydra station.]
JACK: I want to know what he said.
JULIET: I've been on this island for 3 years, Jack. 3 years, 2 months, and 28 days. He said that if I let him live and I helped you -- that he would finally let me go home
