[ Close-up video. Someone's back to her Epitaph-y look. Oh. And back from the dead. ]

Time passes here. One day, two days, three days, four days, five. Time passes there, seconds at a time. White dresses and dirt. Dark lights, butchers and dumbshows. Here, it's men with two faces, coins and sticks. Like Alpha, but not like Alpha. Murder, but not murder. It doesn't matter.

Is it still murder if the dead come back?

What work would that be?

He's not safe.

She's upgrading our wedges.

I'll make sure he's safe. I have a company providing security and he'll be staying with me until I've taken care of the man who did this.

Take care of him?

Yes, take care of him. He killed you, I think that's a pretty good reason for me to be upset with him.

Take care of him how?

I haven't decided yet.

I don't understand.

I'm just going to make sure that he'll never hurt you, or Topher ever again.

Why would he hurt us again?

I don't know, but I want to discourage him from trying to.

I see.

Just don't worry about it right now. I'm more concerned with how you're doing. Are you feeling alright?

Worry? No, I'm not worried.

I don't know.

Would you be willing to let me check you out in the chair? Make sure there's no damage?

I would be willing to let Topher check me in the chair.

That would fine. I just want to make sure he's up to it first.

All right.

I'll check on him then and if he's ready I'll have him contact you to set up the scan.

Once we're sure everything is alright will you be resuming your job as my VP and head of the clinic?

Tell him I'm not a hallucination.

Yes. Why wouldn't I?

I will.

Simply making sure. Also you should know we have a new surgeon finally. His name is Doctor Simon Tam. I'm sure he'll do an excellent job for us.

Yes. He was the man who thought Bennett was named River. What are his skills?

He's a trauma surgeon. Still young, but he seems well versed in his field and I'm sure with our support he will excel.

All right. That should be fine for the clinic.

I hope so. I've also instructed Ms. Yukina to extend offers of employment to anyone she feels is suitable.

I'd like to review any employees before they're brought into the clinic from now on.
