Boston sometime.

Thanks.

Hello?

Hello. My name is

Tom Craven.

Your number was in my

daughters phone records.

I'm Emma's father.

I'm a policeman.

I just want to know what

you were to Emma.

Find out what happened.

It says in the papers

what happened.

Someone tried to kill you

and they got her.

Is that what you

think happened?

I run a shop.

A luggage shop.

I want to keep

running a shop.

I'd like to talk to

you in person.

- Would you do that?

- About Northmoor?

Yeah, sure. About anything

you want to talk about.

How do I know

you're you?

When you meet me,

you will know that guy

can't be anyone else

but Emma's father.

Will you help me?

I'm out of state,

I'm at my grandmothers.

I have your number,

I'll call you.

I'm here to see

John Bennett.

Detective Craven.

Jack Bennett.

- I'm sorry for your loss.

- Thank you.

Can I say how shocked we all

were to hear of Emma's death.

She was a valued

member of our team.

I can't say I knew her

very well personally, but

she is well thought of.

She is missed.

Thank you.

In the Sixties, this hill

was excavated.

The site for Nike

nuclear missiles.

Miles of tunnels

and launch chambers.

- I'm sure Emma told you.

- She never talked about work.

So Northmoor bought this

from the federal government?

- Well, we lease it.

- For money?

- Coffee?

- I'll have a ginger ale.

Certainly.

Annie, get Detective Craven

a ginger ale, would you?

- Of course.

- Please.

You have interesting friends.

Yes.

This facility, R&D in general,

earns a great deal of money

to Massachusetts. As

reflected in the tax breaks.

How may I help you?

I supposed I want to know

what my daughter did here.

In what sense?

She didn't tell you

about our work?

She was following your

security protocols.

And what are they in

your understanding?

I dont understand anything.

She never talked about work.

Right.

Well you'll understand that

most of what we do here

is classified. Almost

everything we do.

What she did, despite

her qualifications,

your daughter

was a trainee.

Of course, she was a full

employee and there's a...

benefit package I suppose you

should see Personnel about.

I'm not interested

in that just yet.

All our people are

very well insured.

I bet they are.

Well, what we do here...

Norhtmoor is essentially

a research facility.

We have a mandate from

government to develop

a safe and clean energy source

based on fusion technology.

- Very green.

- And weapons?

Do you make them?

Well, If we did, it

would be classified.

I can tell you, since you are a

policeman and have access to

this information anyway, that

Northmoor is an important part
