Because the Pearl hatch had a Swan computer connection, and You could enter the code there...

you think that was the comp walt was on when he found his dad on it?

also Henry Gale is the head of the book club too... seems everything is run by him...

because he did push the button...he was trying to "F$$!@" locke up, lose faith in the island and what his purpose was.

I agree with your theory,if not your language//

but how come the place turned blackyighty if he did push the buttion... that wasnt the first time they had to enter the code last second... but it twas the first and only time that happened...

i wonder what henry's flashback off that moment will be. what he did do, if it wanst push the button.. maybe he did but those results were unique to what happened

the black light had something to do with the lockdown, not the button not being pushed

Ben activated the lockdown like desmond did in a episode. I could bet money that he climbed through the vent, pushed the button, and then went and activated the lockdown manually. And then lied about it.

no didnt somethiing happen and then locke asked henry for help? then he got his legs caught... i dont think he started the lockdown..

Sorry, if that were true then why did a plane fly over at that time and drop food and supplies right next to the Swan station? It was a pre-planned lockdown.

I suspect that was the reason why Benjamin was there in the first place.
