Alice Dyer

There's no blood. What? Look, there's no blood. Not on his hand, his phone. The entire server rack is clean.

I am looking. There's cables running through it and it looks like it's attached right to the electrics. How is it even still working? That wasn't just shoved in there by someone. It looks more like it came from inside the system... Alice, stop. Please.

Too bad you're not in charge.

Oh, how convenient that your only proof is sat in an inbox I can't read in case it tries to eat me.

Jeopardising your pay rise, maybe? Colin's dead, Sam's gone, and your grand plan is to what?

I... Celia, please. We've got to get him back. Okay.

Meaning all your cases, right?

Then, respectfully, you can kiss my a- Just finishing Sector 11 now.

Gwen, we need to call Lena. Well, Lena isn't here, so... Uh, Gwen, you might want to hold off on that phone call.

It's gotten.

The hand. When did that happen? I don't know. Just now. I... I turned to look at you, and then when I looked back, it was just gone.

You must have just... I don't think the police can help with this.

We call Lena.

Are you? It's been one night. One night and Sam's gone and Lena's gone and Colin's been eaten by the computer or something.

Then what did happen?

Sounded like a beep.

You open it! You're being foolish. If it can do that to Colin, it can open its own damn cases.

Freddy killed Colin. It killed him.

Don't you dare do that. It murdered him.

So what? We're hostages now.

Jesus Christ! What happened to you being in charge?

Where is she? I told you, she's gone home. She was there when it happened. She saw Sam fall into... Well, I don't know what it is. Celia said it was a tear, if that means anything. He was fighting the Archivist, and then they must have... Enough.

Oh, jog on.

Fine. Whatever.

Celia, I'm sorry, but you've got to come in.

You've got to come back to the office. Now. It's... It's all screwed up. Colin's dead and Lena's gone and Gwen says she's in charge, but that can't be right because she has no idea what's going on. Hold on.

Yeah. We think Freddy killed him. Freddy? As in... The case system, yeah. I don't... He was chopped up inside the computer and it's all a mess. I don't know what to do. You need to get back to the office.

What? No, that's not... What about Sam? Sam?

You keep saying that and it still doesn't mean anything. Where's he gone?

And how exactly do you know that? I...

Right. In that case, I'm going in after him. Yeah, we'll tie a rope to my waist and I'll go find... Alice, you can't.

Then what do we do? Because we are going to do something. You're the reason Sam was there in the first place and you owe it to us to help get him back.

That's... That's Colin, isn't it?

Good. Thank you.

Yeah, she's coming. Just sorting some stuff out. Well, hurry up and get back here. What's wrong? Not feeling so in charge now you're alone in the office with a killer computer?

What do you mean it's using the photocopier?

Oh, God. What? He'd hate that. He always wanted us to go paperless. Alice, how can you joke at a time like this? A man is dead. Because right now it's laugh or cry, and at least I know Colin would have found that funny. Whatever, just hurry up. We'll be there to change your nappy just as soon as we finish with Jack's. Alice... Just don't open any email attachments until we get there.

It's Colin. It's him. I know it is.
