Gwen Bouchard (6:23)

Celia, look, I know we're behind on caseloads, but there's not much I can do about it on my own. We're 14 members down now and I really think that wasn't what I wanted to talk to you about. Oh, right. Sorry. Apology accepted. Although now you mention it. What did you want to ask? Have you heard anything from Alice? Nothing. Not a word since she arrived in Berlin. Oh, really? Yes, really. No texts? No emails? No. You're sure? What are you implying, Gwen? Nothing. When did you last check? Gwen? There's no shame in being worried about her? Hardly. I just know that if she were to call, it wouldn't be to my phone. So I thought it pertinent to check with you just in case. Oh, I'm sure she'd let. Please don't. I've worked with Alice long enough to know how little she thinks of me. I mean, you don't make it easy, but I'm sure she's fond of you in her own way. Well, be that as it may, the situation remains that what little rapport we may have once shared has very much ended now that I'm her superior. And as a result, I suspect that if she had contacted you from Berlin, she would have likely told you to keep me in the dark. Oh, that's not true. Okay, she totally might do that. But I promise she hasn't called me. Was there anything else? No, that's all for now. I think you can get back to work.

Witness statement of Dr. Chloe Gamble BSc MBBS MRC Path Dip RC Path Forensic date of 2 February 1970. Criminal Pathologist. Address Greater Manchester Police HQ. This statement is true to the best of my knowledge. Dated 17 June 1995. This is a confidential report to the coroner and should not be disclosed without permission. At approximately 9.30am on 9 June 1995, at the request of Greater Manchester Police, I attended the scene of a suspicious death near Didsbury, Lancashire. I was logged into the outer cordon at 9:32am and was logged into the inner cordon at 9:41am by a PC and met by DI Betty Osborne, principal Socko David Schaefer and Senior socko Grant Chapman. Mr. Shaffer provided background information. A neighbour reported sounds of a confrontation and chemical smells at approximately 2am and later reported seeing a body through a back window at 4:00am Paramedics attended and declared life extinct at 4:35am Police arrested suspect at scene. Upon entering I saw the kitchen was filled with chemistry apparatus and broken glass on the floor, seemingly from a broken oversized container with blood stains. There were various residues on most surfaces, along with extensive diagrams and what looked like an MLM sales guide for Marconi alchemics. The body of the deceased was lying in the doorway to the adjoining utility room, half covered with laundry. Having consulted with the senior investigating officer, DI Betty Osborne, I examined the body to verify the death. This was confirmed at 10.09am Scene examination the body was of a middle aged Caucasian woman. She lay on her right side in a fetal position with her head towards the back door, the left arm Was extended towards the door with slight flex. The right arm was pressed against the body with the right elbow flexed and the right hand clutched at the face. The legs were extended behind with minimal rotation. Clothing. A floral knee length dress, fully buttoned. A pair of bifocal glasses. One full length leather apron tied around the back with Marconi alchemics. Embroidery. Plastic eye protectors embossed with same logo. Pair of pink socks. Pair of pink shoes, medium heel, no laces. Body was undressed and examined at scene with tapings and swabs obtained. Blood staining and contamination. Minor blood staining on right hand collar. Dirt on left hand and both knees. Minor vomitus running from the right corner of the mouth. Blood staining under both sets of fingernails. No soiling. Body appears to be uniformly covered in sodium chloride. Swat taken. Adjacent body was covered in clean laundry. Minor blood staining and vomitus under head on right side. Body of deceased partially propped against washing machine. Tumble dryer. Door open with some clothes inside. Blood staining on large glass flask. Rigor mortis fully established in all muscle groups. Reading at 10:32am Ambient temperature 30 degrees Celsius with thermometer reading 24 degrees. Signs of visible 8 incised wounds of similar depth at nape of neck with two at larynx indicating strangulation. Protective clothing. Standard procedures. Logged out of inner cordon at 11:17am Logged out of outer cordon at 11:25am Exhibits list seen. Standardised swabs. Plucking and tapes. See attached scraping from beneath nails on right and left hand. Swabs of indentations on neck. Sample of vomitus. Swab of blood from glass flask. Post mortem examination. 10th July 1995. Attended mortuary at Stepping Hill Hospital for special post mortem of Alana Ward. Examination began at 8.20pm Persons present were DI Betty Osborne, principal soccer Warren Shaffer, senior soccer Grant Chapman, D.C. marco Mason, exhibits and mortuary technician Kayla De Angelis. Standard photographs were taken under my direction. Recognised decedent received in white signature sealed body bag and wrapped in black plastic sheet. She was a well nourished adult female. Light built, 165cm tall but weighing 105kg, significantly exceeding weight expectations. Long dyed red hair with exposed brown and grey roots. Shaved body hair with trimmed nails, 0.1cm long with signs of tearing. Two vaccination scars over the left upper arm. Old curving scar below navel consistent with cesarean section. No tattoos. Post mortem changes. Rigor mortis still firmly established. Weakly developed. Mobile primary hypostasis on right Side with associated blanching. Signs of sharp force injury. Incised wounds at base of neck and larynx consistent with strangulation. Indentations recorded. Minor lacerations to face at point of contact with floor. Multiple markings consistent with phlebotomy on inside of left elbow. Angle of insertion indicates self inflicted with no expertise. Extensive reddening around the neck suggests injuries inflicted whilst alive. Other signs of injury. Head and neck Minor abrasion on right parietal scalp. Major blunt crushing trauma to neck consistent with strangulation. Trunk Minor abrasions consistent with insect activity. Internal examination Scalp stripped to nape of neck posteriorly. Skull coated in foul smelling yellow residue. Scent to toxicology likely sulphur based but no sign of cause. Skull dura was stripped. No sign of fracture. Brain Entire organ appears to have been replaced with solid silver facsimile, but no sign of surgery. Entire organ removed with difficulty and passed to toxicology for further examination. Face Soft tissues dissected to the bone. No evidence of injury. Grey tone indicative of systemic shock or hypoxia. Mouth Tongue bitten. Metallic discoloration in mouth lining. Sample scent toxicology. Neck Heavy damage to larynx and trachea consistent with strangulation. Bruising in strap muscles with hairline thyroid bone fracture and cartilage damage. Finger patterns recorded in skin. Chest Pleura were stripped. Significant metallic discoloration noted. Samples sent to toxicology. Ribs were flayed. No evidence of fracture but severe deformation of pleural cavity and surrounding tissue. Lungs Exposure of pleural sac revealed it was filled with dense metallic deposit. Autopsy paused and additional biohazard procedures were enacted, leaving me as only physical presence. Incision into the pleural membrane released large amounts of liquid metal. Suspected mercury. Sample sent to toxicology. Lungs entirely absent. No evidence of surgery. Heart with great difficulty organ was removed and cleaned, revealing what appears to be solid gold facsimile in its place. No signs of surgery and pulmonary vessels were directly attached without scarring. Organs sent to toxicology under DI Osborne's supervision. Stomach undamaged beyond slight deformation from weight of replaced. Surrounding tissue contents consisted of one Cornish pasty. Partial digestion. Intestines appear normal. No perforations, inflammation or pathological changes. Liver entirely replaced by silvery metallic facsimile. Organ removed for toxicology but initial indications of 10. Kidneys entirely replaced by copper facsimiles. Organs sent for analysis. Bladder undamaged with no indication of tumors, inflammation or stones. Generative organs Womb, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries fully removed. Scarring consistent with hysterectomy no evidence of other trauma. Spleen dense and soft. Metallic facsimile of organ removed for analysis. Suspected lead. Severe deformation of surrounding tissue likely as a result of excessive organ weight. Endocrine organs all appear normal but samples provided for toxicology due to prevalence of foreign bodies. Other organs. Gallbladder replaced by metallic facsimile. Suspected iron. Organ removed for testing. Additional notes High speed oscillating autopsy. Soil was damaged during Y incision due to unexpected foreign bodies. Difficulties introducing trocar for bodily fluid collection due to same organ weights. See attached note Weights of facsimiles provided in lieu of missing organs. Postmortem concluded at 2:30am 11 July 1995. Mortuary Exhibits List See attached Toxicology complete toxicology report is still pending, but initial testing verifies visual observations and stated heavy metals histology. Each organ has been collected for further analysis. With conventional examination impossible, spectroscopic analysis is underway. Time of death based upon temperatures recorded at scene computed with Henziger's nonogram indicates a time of death at approximately eight hours earlier at 2am on 9 June 1995. But the large amount of metallic foreign bodies found in the decedent significantly reduced the reliability of this estimate. Damage to the throat and neck accompanied with indications of hypoxia are consistent with strangulation from the front via foul play. That stated, the near complete replacement of decedent's vital organs with metallic facsimiles appears to have somehow happened prior to death without surgery. I am given to understand that a suspect was arrested at the scene, but I assume there has been a clerical error as they were listed as having the same identity as the decedent. Extreme caution is advised when handling evidence related to the case due to confirmed presence of toxic materials. I have already insisted that all persons present at the autopsy and scene receive medical examination for poisoning. Results are pending. I don't know what I just witnessed. If any similar cases arise, do not contact me.

Gwen Bouchard (20:12)

Freddie. So do I call this number or. Right. This is ridiculous. Hello?

Lena Kelly (20:55)

Gwen.

Gwen Bouchard (20:58)

Lena.

Lena Kelly (20:59)

Obviously. Who else would be answering my personal mobile in the middle of the night?

Gwen Bouchard (21:04)

Oh. How are you?

Lena Kelly (21:08)

Irritated and impatient. What do you want?

Gwen Bouchard (21:11)

Oh, well, I. I found this number and thought I would check to see who answered.

Lena Kelly (21:18)

I see. Well, if that's all, then I shall go back to bed. I have curling practice in the morning.

Gwen Bouchard (21:27)

Right.

Lena Kelly (21:27)

And make sure you delete this number. I've no interest in any further late night disturbances from you.

Gwen Bouchard (21:35)

Yes, all right.

Lena Kelly (21:40)

How are you finding it? Gwen?

Gwen Bouchard (21:43)

Excuse me.

Lena Kelly (21:44)

Is it everything you hoped?

Gwen Bouchard (21:46)

I'm doing just fine, thank you.

Lena Kelly (21:49)

Then you're doing better than I did when I started. It took me almost a year just to get things in order.

Gwen Bouchard (21:55)

Well, it's better now.

Lena Kelly (21:57)

Of course it is. The important thing is just keeping everyone safe. Do that. And you're mostly there, right?

Gwen Bouchard (22:06)

Yes.

Lena Kelly (22:07)

It's just a shame I didn't have more time to train my replacement before I retired. Move to the private sector. How old do you think I am?

Alltrails Representative (22:15)

Gwen?

Lena Kelly (22:16)

Oh, don't answer that.

Gwen Bouchard (22:19)

Look, since I have you on the line anyway, I was wondering if you could tell me.

Lena Kelly (22:23)

Not over the phone. There's a reason I had you taking physical letters.

Gwen Bouchard (22:29)

I. Fine.

Lena Kelly (22:33)

I'll send you a postcard with a time and place. Come alone and bring cash.

Gwen Bouchard (22:38)

All right.

Lena Kelly (22:39)

And just to be absolutely clear, I would quite happily leave you in the bed you've made for yourself if I thought it wouldn't affect the others.

Gwen Bouchard (22:48)

Understood.

Lena Kelly (22:49)

And bring the bottle in my desk. It was a gift for someone and I'd like it back.

Gwen Bouchard (22:54)

Oh, yes, yes, all right.

Lena Kelly (22:59)

You drank it, didn't you?

Gwen Bouchard (23:01)

Not all of it, no. Lena. Hello.

Heinrich (23:20)

Your chair is good.

Colin (23:23)

Oh, yeah, yeah. Great, thanks. Four legs and everything.

Heinrich (23:28)

I'm glad.

Colin (23:33)

So, you said you could catch me up on what you were talking with Colin about.

Heinrich (23:37)

Very well. We shall cut to the chase. Colin contacted me some months ago wishing to learn more about your Friedrich program. He said its origins were here and that your files mark me as the only Safe Anziager in Berlin. This was, of course, very insulting and, you will agree, untrue.

Alltrails Representative (24:00)

Yes.

Colin (24:02)

Yeah. No, no. Safe is not the word I would use.

Heinrich (24:09)

You are afraid of me.

Alltrails Representative (24:12)

Yes.

Colin (24:15)

Yeah.

Heinrich (24:19)

Colin was pleasant. I liked him, and so I agreed to help him find his Freidlich.

Colin (24:26)

So did you find him or.

Heinrich (24:28)

Oh, yes, but also. No.

Colin (24:35)

Right. Listen, Heinrich.

Heinrich (24:37)

Heinrich.

Colin (24:38)

Heinrich. Look, I'm real scared right now, but I've had a long flight and a rough few weeks, and it's bad enough reading all Colin's rambling without doing the cryptic doublespeak thing on top. So can we just. Not for now, Please.

Heinrich (24:57)

Very well. And Shuldugung. It has just been some time since I could. How do you say? Play the part.

Colin (25:08)

Cheers. I appreciate it.

Heinrich (25:12)

What I found was not much, but I have only been learning computers recently with Colin's help, I have been looking on the Internet. And this has led me to believe Friedrich was never a person at all.

Colin (25:27)

And why is that?

Heinrich (25:29)

Because it is not a name. It is a vestration.

Colin (25:34)

Sorry, I don't no.

Heinrich (25:38)

Version. You know, Anton Egbert. My God. English version A, Version B.

Colin (25:50)

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You're saying Freddy Friedrich, the guy I've flown all the way here to find, isn't even a guy. It's just. What, an update number? Mr. Foxtrot.

Heinrich (26:03)

Yeah. Friedrich Volksstrod. Same thing. Program number eight.

Colin (26:09)

But Colin had all these notes about a German programmer.

Heinrich (26:12)

Yes, there was such a man who built your Freddy. The few references we found had the initials K.S. so you see, not Friedrich.

Colin (26:24)

Christ on a bike.

Heinrich (26:26)

It is funny, yes?

Colin (26:28)

No. No, it's not.

Gwen Bouchard (26:33)

Right.

Colin (26:34)

Well, this has been fun, Heinrich. And I appreciate you not skidding me alive, but I think I need to go and have a think about what to do.

Heinrich (26:42)

Now, I did mention, I think, that I also found an address.

Colin (26:49)

An address for what?

Heinrich (26:51)

I do not know. It was associated with their program designation. I thought it impolite to visit without Colin, but he is dead, so I will visit with you.

Colin (27:06)

Listen, Heinrich, you really don't need to come with me. I'm sure you'd rather stay here in your toy abattoir.

Heinrich (27:13)

Nonsense. You're friends now. I will visit with you. No, really, I insist.

Colin (27:24)

Okay, then.

Heinrich (27:26)

Brings a chair.

Colin (27:28)

Thanks.

Heinrich (27:29)

Naturally. Now let us paint the town red.

Colin (27:39)

All right then.
