And who, may I ask, put it out there?
:08:10
Don't you ever play with this again.
:08:21
I forgot to introduce you... this is Inga.
:08:23
She's my nurse.
:08:26
If I pick out something with
my laser she'll bring it to me.

:08:31
She's also my friend, too.
:08:35
Aren't you?
:08:37
But she is a very good nurse.
:08:42
Cadaver-eating insects are
divided into eight groups.

:08:45
These eight groups of insects come
to the corpse one after the other.

:08:49
And this only in certain
moments and at a precise time.

:08:53
Never sooner and never later.
:08:57
We call them the eight squadrons of death.
:09:01
First, the common fly comes to the
rotting corpse and lays its eggs.

:09:07
This is the beginnig of the cycle.
:09:09
Each group of insects stays for exactly fifteen days.
:09:12
So, you have to multiply fifteen by eight.
:09:16
The number of groups.
This equals four months.

:09:18
Correct. In this case the cycle seems to be complete.
:09:23
Yet, it is already in the second generation.
:09:26
From this we may conclude that
this head is rotting for eight months.

:09:32
By calculating and determining the number,
the look and the kind of the insects, ...

:09:35
...you can find out the exact date of death.
:09:38
or of the murder.
:09:39
So our victim was decapitated
some 8 month ago.

:09:43
And 15 days.
:09:46
You must not forget, that the body was on
the bottom of the lake for fifteen days.

:09:49
Before the gases which result from
decomposition brought it to the surface.

:09:56
Where the first flies were already waiting.
:09:58
Exactly eight and a half months.
