Hurley is caught and tries to run on foot, but they grab him. He says, "Don't you know who I am? I'm part of the Oceanic Six."
Hurley is interrogated by Big Mike. When Mike walks out of the room, Hurley sees an ocean in the window and Charlie swims up and shows Hurley his hand that says, "Not Penny's boat." When Charlie touches the window, the glass breaks and water rushes in. Hurley yells for help and when Mike comes in, there is no water in the room and the window is normal.
Hurley is thankful when Mike puts him in Santa Rosa Mental Hospital. A man who claims to be from Oceanic Airways visits Hurley there. Hurley gets suspicious when the man asks about other people on the island. He asks for a business card, but Matthew Abbadon doesn't have any and Hurley freaks out, calling for the nurse.
Later, Hurley sees Charlie and Charlie tells him that "they need him". Hurley counts to five and when he opens his eyes, Charlie is gone.
Jack visits Hurley in the hospital and wants to know if Hurley is going to spill their secret, but Hurley doesn't answer him. Hurley apologizes for going with Locke instead of Jack when they were on the island.
