House of the Rising Sun

Body Count 2

The Skeletons

Well, it's only 0 if you don't count the skeletons that Kate nearly falls on top of in this episode. Locke refers to them as "their very own Adam and Eve."

 

KATE: Who is he? How'd he get here?

JACK: Can't exactly perform an autopsy, but doesn't seem to be any major trauma to the bones.
There's another one over here.

(He steps over to the side to look at a second body nearby.)

JACK: Someone laid them to rest here.

KATE: Who?

JACK: I don't know.

KATE: Where'd they come from?

JACK: Didn't you guys shoot a polar bear last week?

KATE: Yeah.

JACK: Where'd that come from?

(Jack reaches out and touches the clothing.)

KATE: Any idea how long they've been here?

JACK: Long. It takes forty or fifty years for clothing to degrade like this.
