to see the body besides John,

but I didn't. I didn't because...

Because John Locke

pronounced her dead.

Who got her medicine?

Who was in charge of her medical care,

her records, her treatment?

Claire. Claire and John.

They were in charge of it all.

Look, I know what's in that coffin.

My sister wasn't dead.

Because of what, Christy,

your hallucinations, your drawings?

Everyone in this room

knows your history.

I'm not making this up.

You're on antidepressant medication

for a borderline personality disorder.

I talked to USC.

You were fired from your last job

because of behavioral problems.

You haven't gotten over the accident.

Now, this is Dr. John Locke

we are talking about,

and I'm not going to be a part of it.

I just got off the phone with John.

Now, I've convinced him

not to press charges,

on the condition you leave town.

Don't do this. Look, I'm not making it up.

You know John's hiding something.

If you're not gone by morning, deal's off.

Simple as that. I will arrest you.

I know you believe me.

I believe I'm doing you

a favor that I shouldn't.

Don't make me change my mind.

I wish I had died with her.

Christy, you're alive.

Vanessa's at peace.

She'd want you to move on.

Please, just leave me alone.

- Please, just for a few minutes.

- Okay.

John!

I'll check on you in a little bit, okay?

Why are you here?

I came to apologize to you. I was wrong.

I mean,

so much of it was all in my head.

I convinced myself of so much.

I mean, I know you were having

an affair with Claire Wells,

and I know

that it was none of my business.

What are you talking about?

I found the letter in the boathouse

from Claire.

- Just leave us alone.

- I'm leaving!

But there's something I have to tell you.

I did something.

What did you do?

You have to understand, I was positive.

- I'm so sorry.

- What did you do?

I opened her coffin.

I had to see her.

I'm sorry.

- Hello?

- Christy.

- Jeff, I can explain.

- No, listen, I'm at the cemetery.

The body is not Vanessa.

The corpse is perfect.

There's no signs of surgery,

no metal pins, no bone trauma, nothing.

- I'm at John's right now. Can you...

- Get out of there.

I'll try and do that.

Christy, what have you done?

What did you do with the body?

Stop!

Let me go!

It was Claire, wasn't it?

You put Claire in Vanessa's grave.

- She was dead.

- What did you do to my sister?

- I loved your sister.

- Where's her body?

- You killed them both.

- Oh, no, our Vanessa died in that crash.

Bastard!

I loved your sister.

I'd do anything for her.

I'd do anything for her.

I'd do anything for her.

I loved your sister.

I'd do anything for her.

Don't you understand?

There was never much hope.

Amy? Is that you?

Amy?

Do you remember this?

It's gonna be okay, Vanessa.

I'm gonna take care of you.

Christy, did it hurt you?

I killed it. I killed the monster.

Yes, you did it.
