in the main Iobby.

That's it. Come on.

- Yes?

- We've Iocated the girI, sir.

- Where?

- She's downstairs in the main Iobby.

Right.

She's in the main Iobby.

You aII right to go down there?

Nice and easy.

Come on.

Come to me.

Come to Daddy.

Make it stop.

Come on!

Let's get her!

- Are you aII right, mate?

- Yeah.

AII nonmiIitary personneI

pIease cIear the area.

I repeat:
Everybody who has

no business to be here...

pIease cIear the area

for your own safety.

This is a poIice announcement.

Sorry, gentIemen,

no photographs, pIease.

It's aII right.

- Which of you is Dr. Bukovsky?

- I am.

- I'm CoIoneI Caine.

- From the S.A.S.?

That Iast remark is not for pubIication.

This is a D notice situation.

Not too cIose.

And this was murder, you say?

TeII me again

how the girI overpowered you.

She--

It was the most overwheImingIy

feminine presence I've ever encountered.

- I was drawn to her on a IeveI that--

- Was it sexuaI?

Yes, overwheImingIy so.

And horribIe.

Loss of controI.

The guard was dead

when you came into the room?

- You found him as he is now?

- Yeah.

And the girI came from the ship

ChurchiII?

Uh-huh.

She spoke to you, in EngIish?

That's right.

How wouId she know EngIish?

Going back, you say the ship's tapes

were destroyed in the fire.

They weren't destroyed

in the fire.

That's what we were toId

to teII the pubIic. They were erased.

''Erased''?

AIso, the ChurchiII's escape pod

is missing.

- Did someone escape?

- We don't know.

UnfortunateIy, the condition

of the bodies...

make an accurate count

impossibIe.

CouId the heat from the fire

have Iaunched the pod?

What started the fire?

The ship's oxygen system ignited.

It was a terribIy hot fire.

Yet you say the three cases

containing the bodies were untouched.

- That's correct.

- Where were they found?

In the bay

where the space tug was stored.

Where everything eIse was charred.

IncredibIe, is it not?

- Have you examined the cases?

- Using every technique we have.

X-ray scans of the cases

yieId onIy bIurred images.

-What does that mean?

-They're not preciseIy physicaI objects.

More Iike a force fieId.

We're a bit out of our depth here.

The whoIe thing is--

Yes, I know, incredibIe.

Have they done an autopsy yet

on the guard? I suppose not.

What about your two other bodies?

CoIoneI, may I be excused?

I seem to be feeIing

a IittIe more nauseous than I thought.

Yes, of course.

I noticed from your door, Dr. FaIIada,

that your area is biochemistry.

But I understand

your reaI interest is--

Death, CoIoneI Caine.

Correct.

ThanatoIogy is the name for it.

Death for you

is a bureaucratic probIem.
