How can I be of assistance?

Let's see. Here we go.

Now, technically,

only John can access this file,

but you're family,

and I'm happy to answer

any questions you might have.

Did you see Vanessa between

the accident and when she died?

Yes, I was up to the house

once or twice.

Mrs. Locke,

did she take good care of her?

Oh, Mrs. Locke was Mrs. Locke,

not the most lovable person,

God rest her soul.

- But as far as...

- Did you say "God rest her soul"?

No one told you?

Mrs. Locke was found dead

this morning.

Slipped in the shower,

fractured her skull. I'm sorry.

Dr. Cestia, when someone dies,

what process do you go through

to confirm it?

Death is rarely misdiagnosed, Christy.

But can it be? I mean, is it possible that

somebody could be

pronounced dead prematurely?

Christy, let Vanessa go.

I remember what happened

at the funeral home.

This whole town does.

Burying someone alive can't happen,

even if they were

wrongly pronounced dead.

There's more than one test.

They need to be embalmed.

They need...

It's just impossible.

Excuse me, I need to take this.

I apologize. I'll be right back.

Yeah?

Yeah. Yes.

Yeah.

Okay, at this...

Actually this is... Yeah. Okay.

Friday? Saturday?

Monday and Thursday the 14th. Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

Yes, I'll talk to you soon. Okay.

Sorry about that. I've been waiting

for that call. The coroner.

Thank you so much

for all your time, Dr. Cestia.

John and Amy

probably really need me right now, so...

I'm sure they'd like that.

- Thanks.

- Say hello for me.

I will.

Hi, can you tell me

if a Claire Wells works here?

Wells? No, no one by that name.

Can I help you with anything else?

No. No, thanks.

- Christy. This is Jeff. You got a second?

- How did you get this number?

I talked to John.

He asked me to track you down.

I don't know how to tell you this,

but last night, there was an accident.

- Mrs. Locke...

- Mrs. Locke died. I know.

I'm waiting for a bus to get to John's.

Wait there. I'll give you a lift.

Something on your mind?

Do you know anybody

named Claire Wells?

Yeah, she used to work at the hospital.

She moved back East years ago. Why?

She was my sister's rehab nurse.

When I was in the facility,

she was living at Vanessa's.

I never met her.

I checked Vanessa's medical records.

One of the drugs that they had her on,

if it was wrongly administered,

it could induce a coma.

Look, I know we might not be

in a big city,

but our doctors don't mistake

comas for death.

I never saw her dead.

I just want some answers.

We're sorry. The number

you have dialed is not in service.

Please check the number...

My dad says it was an accident,
