UFO1970

Col. Paul Foster:
But don't you see what it means? They planned a cold blooded murder. They had it all worked out. But unfortunately for them an alien came through that door instead of her husband.

Alec Freeman:
It all fits. Morally, they're guilty.

Ed Straker:
Oh. Well, the amnesia drug was administered a few minutes ago. They won't be able to remember a thing.

Col. Paul Foster:
Well, we can't just let them go free.

Ed Straker:
I suppose you think I should hand them over to the public prosecutor. We'd sure have a great case. Now what would he go for? The attempted murder of the husband or the killing of an alien? We can't produce that body. There's no concrete evidence against them and the two accused would both have genuine total amnesia.

Col. Paul Foster:
So there's nothing we can do about it?

Ed Straker:
We're not in the moralising business, colonel.

Col. Paul Foster:
Well, what about the husband? They wanted to kill him once. They're bound to try again.

Ed Straker:
Hmn. Well, in the line of duty we stumbled on to a triangle. SHADO's involvement made it a square. All we're doing is erasing the past twelve hours. So it's back to the triangle.
