Appears Ben or Locke convinced some of the losties to stay and others
(Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Sun and Jin) along with a few other non
oceanic people get off the island. A few realize that Ben conned or
scewed them over and since the black dude is bothering Hurley looks
like Ben is still in control as he is the only person keeping the
remain oceanic losties alive while the black dude is trying to find
the island and do something to its occupants.
