Beneath Page #3

Her dad lives on site up at the old mine.

He used to be a foreman.

Now he's just mainly security.

It's dangerous up there.

Mr. Wells?

Hello?

Hello!

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Get the hell out of my house!

- You're trespassing here!

- I'm looking for Claire Wells.

- I have some questions for her.

- Claire's not here.

Do you know when she'll be back?

I haven't spoken to my daughter

in six years, Miss Wescot.

- How...

- I never forget a face,

or your performance

at your sister's funeral.

You came here for a reason?

I had some questions

about Vanessa's death,

I thought that Claire

might have some answers.

Worst thing she ever did

was get mixed up with your family.

- What do you mean?

- John!

All of them, even before.

They're no good.

They're not good people.

They ruined my family,

closing down this mine,

trying to save their asses.

And they thought Claire was trash.

I don't know what went on down there,

and it's not my place to speculate.

Damn birds! Sh*t everywhere!

Can you tell me where Claire lives?

Maine. I got her address, too. Portland.

Got it from the post office.

She never writes back.

Her business

she doesn't want to talk to me.

She turned her back on us. My wife...

Get the hell out of here.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

Did Amy Locke move rooms?

Dr. Locke took her home.

He'll be providing her primary care.

John!

- I came to check on Amy.

- She's back at the house.

- I have everything under control.

- I ran into Mr. Wells today,

Claire Wells' dad.

Claire Wells. That's a name

I haven't heard in a while.

You never talked about her.

Why would I? It's all past.

Claire was Vanessa's personal nurse,

not like it did any good.

There was never much hope.

Claire was in charge of her medication?

Yes.

I was still working at the hospital.

Claire did everything.

I drew this when I was in the facility,

a dream I had after the accident.

That's Claire, right?

I mean, I'd never seen her before,

but that's her, isn't it?

- What the hell is this?

- Things I've dreamt.

You were here. You met Claire.

Your brain's helping you,

blocking stuff out.

Vanessa's body wasn't embalmed.

Do you remember why?

People are embalmed

to preserve their bodies.

There wasn't anything

I wanted to preserve.

What the hell

are you trying to figure out?

I need a better understanding

- of what happened to Vanessa.

- What?

I think that Claire

might have over-drugged Vanessa

to kill her.

You're crazy. You're still crazy.

John, it adds up.

I mean, the drug she was on,

her body wasn't embalmed, my visions.

- Your visions?

- Premonitions or something.

I don't know, but I can tell you

how your mom died.

I can tell you exactly

what room you found Joseph in.

I even saw Amy get hurt.

All of the people

that were close to Vanessa

are either dead or in danger,

and it has to have something to do

with her burial.

- What are you talking about?

- It didn't work.

The drugs didn't kill her.

When she was buried,

I think that she was still alive.

You really have no idea.

She fought harder

than anyone I've ever seen to recover.

Then, one day,

it was like a light went out,

and I knew our Vanessa

would never be back.

People wanted me to pull the plug,

the plug on my wife!

A couple of weeks later,

she died peacefully in her sleep.

I was there, Christy. You weren't.

Was Claire there?

I want you to leave. Not just the house.

I want you out of Edgemont.

I tried to get it fixed.

I'll get you a new one

as soon as you're better.

I promise.

An even better one. I'll send it to you.

John, help!

John!

John!

John.

- Christy? What happened?

- I don't know.

Someone came up from behind.

I heard them.

I was coming to find you, and...

You blacked out? You got a seizure?

I heard somebody in the walls.

I think there's somebody here.

Do you remember this?

When you blacked out,

did you see this?

No.

I had the alarm on. You and I

were the only ones in the house.

Now, please, get out of my house.

John, there's somebody else

in the house.

Christy, I asked you to leave.

Claire?

Claire Wells?

- Hi.

- Amy, what are you doing in here?

- Who's Claire?

- How did you get in here?

- You're all wet.

- I followed it. I tried to kill it.

I won't let it kill my daddy.

Jeff! Thank God you're here.

- There's somebody in the house.

- What are you doing with Amy?

She got in the boathouse.

I don't know how, but she did.

You have to come with me.

- You have to search the house.

- Get in the car.

What's going on?

John called us, says you attacked him.

He's saying you took Amy.

This is a misunderstanding.

I didn't hurt anybody.

We're gonna have to ask you

some questions, okay?

I'm gonna have to take your bag.

Now, John says he was attacked

in his house. He didn't see who it was,

but we know that you and Amy

were the only ones in there.

We weren't the only ones there.

- Who else was there?

- I saw someone.

Well, John didn't mention

seeing anyone else in the house.

Do I look strong enough

to attack John Locke

- and knock him unconscious?

- He was unconscious?

I gotta say,

there's some interesting art in here.

You want to explain these?

They're just sketches.

I didn't hurt anybody.

That's Claire Wells.

How the hell do you know

what she looks like?

See what you can find on Claire Wells.

- Where's he going?

- Christy, I don't want to arrest you,

- but you have got to help us out.

- I thought I could trust you.

I'm giving you a chance.

That's more than anyone else

in this town is gonna give you.

It's a love letter from John to Claire.

I found it hidden in the boathouse.

They wanted Vanessa to die.

Jeff, I know it sounds crazy,

but I think Claire's back.

I saw her tonight.

You need to search the house.

- John wouldn't let us in the house.

- Of course he wouldn't.

He's hiding something.

He was having an affair

with Claire Wells, and he lied about it.

I'd say that's pretty common

among cheating husbands.

- Claire hasn't been in Edgemont in...

- Six years!

Not since Vanessa died.

She didn't even go to Vanessa's funeral.

- Look, I don't see how any of this...

- John and Claire were having an affair.

Claire overdosed Vanessa

on pain medication to kill her.

Maybe John knew about it.

Maybe he even asked her to do it.

- There's no way to prove this.

- Yes, there is.

With the kind of decomposition

we'll be looking at,

we'll be lucky to find any tissue,

let alone run an entire toxicology test.

That won't be necessary.

The coffin will be

clawed and scratched,

the wood torn to shreds.

Her fingernails

will be shattered and broken.

I know this.

Who else saw Vanessa's body

before it was buried?

- No one.

- Christy, please.

There was a physician in attendance

at the time of death.

But by law,

we had no cause to be there.

- Closed casket, no embalming.

- As an outpatient death,

I would've been the first doctor
