Malcolm's pleased to have some back up, even if the police are looking at them suspiciously right now. He tries to think fast.

"Actually, we're here to clean up the scene," Malcolm says, changing tack. "We work for the morgue." The police officers might be more inclined to believe that, if Malcolm wasn't dressed so posh. He hopes that they'll choose to ignore his outfit.

The fact that cleaning up a crime scene is gross works in he and Connor's favor. The police are just as happy to turn the job over to them. As the officer hands Malcolm the mop, Malcolm asks him if he can try to keep the crowd back. "It'll help us get the job done faster."

He lets out a slow breath as the police leave he and Connor alone with the body. "Thanks," he says to the android.
