Oh, no ...

- What is it?

- I met her the other day.

Damn ...

What a shame.

Lovely lady.

All right, let's see.

We got some rigor here.

Petechial haemorrhaging,

which is consistent with asphyxia.

Strangulation, you think?

I'm assuming that,

but there's no tear in the panties -

- and no obvious sign of semen.

- Is that hers?

- Yeah.

- Why is she here?

- HQ called her.

- Rape counsellor. Sarah Sunhill.

- The victim can't use counselling.

She's also a rape investigator.

She was on her way to an assignment.

- She agreed to stay on for this.

- Aren't we lucky?

Get Forensics, talk to Cal Seaver.

Get a 50-yard grid around the body.

Make resin casts of the boot prints.

Let's see who was here, and when.

We also need Capt. Campbell's

personal and medical records.

- I already did that.

- Thank you.

- Sarah Sunhill, Paul Brenner.

- And book Sgt. Dalbert Elkins.

He's the one

who started the arms deal.

She walked barefoot from here

to where she died.

There's smudge marks on her heels

and the asphalt. Where did she live?

- Where's Victory Gardens?

- Off-post.

- I have to go there.

- I'll have the chief meet us there.

I don't want to work with Yardley.

You can't search a civilian house

without a civilian search warrant.

You need civilian authority.

- We protect Brenner from himself.

- Does she have family here?

- Of course.

- I suggest you notify them.

- You're kidding, right?

- Kidding about what?

It's Elisabeth Campbell.

She's his kid.

- I thought you knew.

- No, I didn't.

The general's daughter.

- What are you doing?

- I feel queasy.

- Well, hop on, I'll burp you.

- Drive the car, Paul.

- I thought you were queasy.

- Drive the car, Paul.

- I don't want this to be awkward.

- Why would it be awkward?

- You're pouting.

- This is not pouting.

- Okay, sulky petulance, then.

- Wrong again.

I'm just thinking about Brussels.

We'll always have Brussels.

- Where?

- The capital of Belgium.

Why?

Why is it the capital,

or why will we always have it?

Why was she murdered?

Profit, revenge, jealousy,

conceal a crime, avoid disgrace -

- or homicidal mania.

Right there in the manual.

Oh, boy ...

Hello,

we're here to see the general.

I'm Capt. Elby, the general's aide.

Col. Fowler, the general's adjutant,

will take you in. Please wait here.

- He's cute.

- Oh, please ...

He probably practises his salute

in the mirror ...

Please, come in,

and thank you for coming.

General,

the ClD investigators are here.

Warrant Officers

Paul Brenner and Sarah Sunhill.

- Our deepest condolences.

- Very sorry for your loss, sir.

Thank you.

Please, be seated.

First, I want you to know
