new idea on the $3.2 Million

[youalleverybody]

Hey guys,
dont know if this was posted, I know we have discussed this to death. I saw this theory and thought it had something to it. The conversation between Miles and Ben was just so strange. It must have meant more...


When Miles talks to Ben and ask for 3.2 million dollars in one week, it is code.

"First, Miles is one of the ‘others’. I believe proof of that is when he asks Ben ‘do you know who I work for’. Second, saying that he wants 3.2 million dollars is his way of telling Ben that our rescue crew knows the bearing to get on the island; 3-2-5 (3.2 and 5 zeroes). Ben then asks Miles why not 3.3 or 3.5 and Miles says no, 3.2 million dollars—reinforcing that they are sure of the correct bearing. Fourth, when Miles says that Ben has one week to get the money, he is saying that more people are coming to the island in one week unless action is taken to prevent it. These are just my ideas, I just thought the conversation between Ben and Miles was so bizarre that it had to have more meaning behind it. "

I think that ur idea is brilliant BUT>.....to me...Miles is not an other...he is too much of a conman and is very much an A-hole...i do think that it was some kind of code....But..i think that he does want the money and that exact amount is a sign to show Ben that he knows the bearing to follow to get on and off the island and that he will "spread the news" very quickly if he doesn't give that exact money....I think that if Ben doesn't get the $$ in one week then they will kill them all /"purge them"....i think that u are on to something but i still can't imagine miles being an other ....they would have to put him in room 23 for some crazy time to convert his ass....LOL

[youalleverybody]

yes, maybe not an other. But there is some connection of course with Ben. He had his picture. Hmmmm

[jacksnurse]

yeah...ur onto something....i think that maybe miles works for the economist...like elsa did???? he was sent to kill him but as we all know what a conman he is...he is going to use Ben for his personnal gain

[LostFreak21]

youalleverybody- I think that it makes a lot of sense. I had posted that I thought that conversation was significant but I didn't know why. I think you are on the right track.

[dumbwhitey]

very good theory.

[ai2301]

Interesting idea but Ben made is pretty clear that he feels that the people coming were a threat. Given that he saw that Locke kill Naomi, he'd have to assume that Locke wouldn't hesistate to kill Miles as well- something he would not encourage if Miles was with him IMO.

Given that Miles is on the island already-why would he need to tell Ben that they know how to get there- it's kinda obvious by the fact that Miles in there in the first place.

I really like your theory about Ben and Miles. Miles seemed to be very worked up and that conversation didn't make sense. Why 3.2 million exactly? Screwy! Numbers always have weight in this show. You're possibly on to a link between these two guys.It could have been a code, why not?

[Turnip Queen]

That is a really good theory! I love how numbers always mean something in this show!

I've been meaning to post a link to that theory all week, you beat me to it! But in all seriousness if you haven't checked out the rest of that site (lost-theories.com) do so, it has some really cool theories.

I don't think that Miles is Ben's "man on the boat" because 1. there's still sabotage occurring even after Miles has left the boat and 2. Ben told Miles that he had a man on his boat, which would be kind of wierd if Miles was his man on his (Miles') boat have I got you confused yet? lol. I do think there is definately more to the "3.2 million dollar conversation" than meets the eye though. The instant Miles let on to Ben that he could be bribed I was thinking "Wait a second, Miles travelled halfway across the world as a member of an elite team recruited by some mysterious man for a top-secret mission and he's saying he can be bought out for $3.2 million? That doesn't make sense!". It seems to me that whoever hired Miles could offer him more than a measley $3.2 million (yeah I know it's not measley, but when you're dealing with people like Dharma or Hanso or Widmore or the likes of Abbadon it is). Miles also knows that there's no way Ben could get him money anyway, and if Ben was indeed powerful enough to get Ben money from his current position wouldn't he also be powerful enough to get more than $3.2 million?

Anyway, the whole conversation just seemed so staged and fake that it has to be. I guess the real question than is this: What is the true relationship between Miles and Ben?
