Scene description[]
Hurley approaches Richard and reveals that he has been speaking to Isabella's ghost. He speaks for her, but Richard can soon hear her and feel her himself.
Once she's gone, Richard puts on her cross and thanks Hurley. Hurley then delivers one last message -- they must keep the Man in Black on the island, else todos nos vamos al infierno. From far away, the Man in Black watches.
