Chain Reaction Page #2

on everyone that worked here.

Inspector Ford, you've taken

charge of this investigation.

Why is the FBI involved?

Eight city blocks disappeared.

The President talked to my boss at 3am.

He wants answers.

Tell me about Eddie.

Does he drink, do drugs?

No. He's just a machinist,

an undergraduate working to get his degree.

That's the undisclosed cost

of our cheap fossil fuel.

Who'd be interested in this?

Cheap, clean,

abundant energy?

Who wouldn't?

When you left the party, who was there?

Eddie.

So, Eddie, tell us again why you came back?

I'd come back for my bike.

You say you'd returned

from taking Miss Sinclair home.

Yeah. Her car wouldn't start,

so I took her home on the bus.

What is your relationship with Miss Sinclair?

Er... We work together.

I'm a machinist, she's a physicist.

I was

hired by Dr Chen.

And who is Dr Chen?

He was Dr Barkley's

project manager.

Why did he hire you?

Because I'm a physicist.

Gentlemen, what have we got here?

Sergeant?

I think we have Mr Chen in the wind.

Nick, what did you find?

It looks like he packed with a shovel.

He was in a hurry.

Dr Barkley expressed interest

in a specialist in sonoluminescence.

He knew about Dr Chen.

So through some friends

in the State Department,

I got him here and onto the team.

You have friends in the State Department?

We have influential members of the board.

Really?

Who's on the board of your foundation?

Ford.

Various scientists...

Yeah.

...and industrialists.

Your Dr Chen is missing.

Any idea where he might be?

He may be dead.

We have no comment.

Eddie Kasalivich!

You said they killed him.

Who killed him, Eddie?

You were there before the explosion.

What happened?

What are you looking for?

We're just examining

the articles on his desk.

- How are you entitled to do that?

- Annette!

They have a search warrant,

but no respect for a man's life.

I want a full inventory.

These are very important,

sensitive scientific papers.

- We'll give you copies.

- Signed, please!

For two decades, Doctor Barkley...

I have to speak

to the university's legal counsel.

Please give Lily any help you can.

I can't stay here tonight.

Among the missing is Dr Lu Chen,

who the authorities are looking for.

He may be considered a suspect...

- This is insane.

- They're going to think he did it.

Oh, no.

- What is it?

- It's from

Dr Lu Chen.

He wants me

to bring the rest of the information,

all the data and meet him

at the rendezvous in Shanghai.

I'm being framed.

What are you talking about?

- This isn't from Chen.

- How do you know?

- He doesn't write like this.

- Then who sent it?

I don't know who sent it.
