---------------------------------------------------------
This is a walkthrough for the game called "Cause of
Death". The longer name of this game is "Cause of Death:
Can You Catch the Killer?". This guide covers Volume One:
The Maskmaker. Why doesn't this guide cover the other
parts of the game? Simple. I don't have $125 to spare, in
order to buy paid DLC.

003. Walkthrough
---------------------------------------------------------
To start the game, tap on "play/resume". To download more
games (at a price), tap on "episodes on demand". The
first case of the game is free.
003a. Prologue
---------------------------------------------------------
The game begins with a woman named Sophie, who wakes up
in a strange room. She is tied up, and she does not
remember how she got here. Nearby, a masked man is
working with tools.
Sophie has two options at this point. Pick the one you
want ("sneak out" or "scream"), and she performs that
action. You have a limited amount of time to make your
choice. Afterwards, you get another choice.
No matter which options you pick, the masked man will
kill Sophie. The prologue then ends.
003b. Chapter One: Washed Up
---------------------------------------------------------
The game switches to Detective Mal Fallon, who works in
San Francisco. He is playing Texas Hold 'Em with his
friend, Diego. Diego bets $30.
Mal only has a pair of fours. You can choose to bluff or
fold. If you fold, Mal loses the round. If you bluff, Mal
will win the round. That's not all, though. Mal also gets
Detective Points!
Every chapter in this game has 100 Detective Points for
you to receive. If you get 500 Detective Points or more,
over the course of the game, you get to see a special
ending. I'll list all the Detective Points at the end of
each chapter.
If you're playing with sound on, a nice noise plays every
time you pick an option which results in Detective
Points. If you pick an option which results in you not
getting Detective Points, a failure sound plays.
Ken Greene, a detective who works with Mal, appears. He
says that the Captain has an assignment for him. Mal
comments that he's supposed to be suspended from duty for
the week. You can either tell Diego that you were
suspended for punching the mayor's son, or you can refuse
to tell Diego what happened.
It turns out that Captain Yeong was Mal to head up the
Maskmaker Task Force, now that the Maskmaker has stopped
killing prostitutes and started killing college students.
She warns you to do this case by the book.
You can promise to do your best, or you can give her your
word that you'll play by the book. Give her your word for
Detective Points. She will give details about the
Maskmaker, then ask if you have questions.
You get Detective Points for asking more about the
murders. The Captain details where and how the first two
victims died. There were no signs of a struggle, and the
masks found on the corpses were made after the women
died.
Mal and the Captain arrive at the crime scene. A woman
jumps forward and takes a picture. Since you agreed to
play by the book, politely ask her to back away from the
crime scene. This results in Detective Points.
The woman is Special Agent Natara Williams, from the FBI.
She is going to be working on the case with Mal. The body
shows no signs of a struggle whatsoever. Natara comments
that this is different from the other murders.
How? The correct answer is "the cause of death is
different". The other victims were strangled, but this
woman's neck has no bruises. As our heroes wonder how she
died, Eric Mills approaches. He's a forensic technician,
and he talks about the body.
Mal comes to the conclusion that the victim was
suffocated, by the mask. The mask has no air holes
whatsoever, and she died when the Maskmaker glued it to
her face. This is different from the other cases, where
the mask was made after the death of the victim.
You can decide if the Maskmaker is evolving or
degenerating. The correct answer is "evolving".
Officer William Rye discovers a stamp on the victim's
wrist. It's from a bar known as the Zen Club. She must
have visited this bar, shortly before her death. Our two
characters travel to the bar.
Mal and Natara talk on the car drive there. Mal expresses
disdain for psychological profiling. You can choose to
have Natara profile Mal, and you can choose to have Mal
profile Natara. You get Detective Points for saying that
she must have pissed someone off.
Milo, the Club Owner, remembers the victim as a regular
at the club. She was with Jared, a bartender, the
previous night. Jared runs away into the kitchen, locking
the door behind him.
Chase time! Kick the door in, then duck when Jared throws
a saucepan at you. Alternately, you can go around back
and move past a cart. Once out in the street, look for
Jared's brown hair. Natara is almost hit by a bus during
the chase. You can pull her back or tackle her forward.
Tackling her forward is the better option.
Mal runs at Jared. Tackle him to end the chase. He has
white pills on his person, which explains why he ran away
from the police.
At the precinct, the captain asks if Jared is the
Maskmaker. Say that he could be, and you get Detective
Points for not getting ahead of yourself. Eric comes in
with information about the drugs. They aren't very
powerful, so it's possible Jared used them on the victim
or on himself to get high.
The officers question Jared in front of his attorney,
Catherine Krutzik. You can say this case is about drugs
or murder. Pick murder to frighten Jared, and ask him
about the victim. He says that he was friendly with her,
and she had been drinking when she left.
Jared's alibi checks out, and the investigation ends for
the day. Mal returns home to an empty apartment. You can
check his answering machine, watch TV or go to bed. The
chapter ends when you go to bed.
The game will tell you how many Detective Points you got.
You can replay the chapter if you want more.
---
You get detective points if you...
1. Bluff at the card game.
2. Give Captain Yeong your word that you'll follow the
book.
3. Politely ask the woman to back away from the crime
scene.
4. Say this murder is different, because the cause of
death is different.
5. Say that the Maskmaker is evolving.
6. Tell Natara that she must have pissed someone off.
7. Chase the suspect! Stick with him by kicking the door
in, then ducking his attack. Remember the suspect had
brown hair, then tackle Natara out of the bus' way.
Finish by tacking the suspect.
8. Say the suspect could be the murderer.
9. Question the suspect about murder, to unnerve him.
10. Ask the suspect about the victim.
003c. Chapter Two: The Masks We Wear
---------------------------------------------------------
The next day begins Natara doing research. Pick a topic
to research. Natara will get a phone call from District
Chief Blaire, her supervisor. He asks how the
investigation is going.
Tell him it is proceeding as expected, in order to get
Detective Points. Blaire reminds Natara that she is on
thin ice with the FBI, after what happened with her and
Agent Mallory in Miami.
Natara ends the phone call and goes in for a briefing
with the local police. You have to decide what she says
at the briefing. Report that the Maskmaker is 20-40, an
introvert, and highly intelligent.
Also, we can presume the Maskmaker is somehow connected
to the medical field, given his use of advanced drugs.
Captain Yeong thanks Natara for the information.
Mal and Natara go to the lab to speak with Eric. Eric
finished examining the victim's body, and it looks like
Mal's theory that the victim was asphyxiated is correct.
Natara can ask a question. Ask about what the victim was
drugged with, because if you ask about fingerprints, Eric
will insult you. Sadly, the drug that the Maskmaker used
cannot be identified, beyond the fact that it is a
hospital-grade paralytic.
Amy Chen, who also works in the laboratory here, calls
Mal over. She found something strange in the quartz. Ask,
"Um...What?" to get Detective Points and an explanation.
Amy says that it means the mask came from Southern
Europe.
There's only one arts store in San Francisco that imports
from Southern Europe. It is the Italia Imports and
Exports store, which happens to do business in exotic
masks.
Mal and Natara discuss Eric and Amy, as they drive to the
store. When they go inside, they find it filled with
masks. Say that the mask is creepy, and the store owner,
Lance Boggs, appears. Boggs is somewhat pleased that you
understood the purpose of the mask you're looking at.
Boggs correctly guesses that you are here, because of the
Maskmaker case. Mal asks to see the store records, and
Boggs says that there are none. His store runs on cash
only. Mal accuses Boggs of trying to cover something up,
most likely black market antiquities deals.
Natara steps outside with Mal and tells him to stop
antagonizing Boggs. She believes that the best way to get
information from Boggs is to butter him up, because he is
an unprincipled narcissist with an innate compulsion to
impress those around him.
Natara goes back inside, and she tries to put her theory
about Boggs' personality into practice. Say that Mal is
uncouth, then ask about the female mask. Natara brings up
the fact that it is somewhat similar to the Maskmaker's
work, and Boggs mentions the latest victim by name.
Natara questions the fact that he knows the victim's
name, seeing as that information was not released to the
press. Boggs tries to escape, but he runs into Mal. Mal
attempts to arrest him, and Boggs explains.
This morning, Boggs got an email from someone claiming to
be the Maskmaker. The email lists all three victims,
which is information only the police should know. The
email offers to sell a mask to Boggs.
Mal responds to the email. Natara interrupts and makes a
suggestion. Suggest that he should negotiate the price,
which will make the email sound more authentic. A
response quickly appears. The seller wants to meet with
Boggs in fifteen minutes.
Mal and Natara drive to the place chosen by the seller.
It is an open, public place. Mal takes out a briefcase
and walks over to the seller's car, when the seller
quickly speeds away. The car almost hits Mal, and Mal
gets back in the car with Natara.
A car chase ensues. A garbage truck is in the way, and
the driver doesn't see Natara! Swerve around the truck,
then follow Mal's instructions. Look for Dan Dan Dim Sum,
then accelerate and cut off the other car.
The other car crashes. The driver stumbles out and
reaches in his pocket. Threaten him, before he can pull
out a weapon. He pulls out his ID and drops it. This man
is Marvin Clemente, an ex-cop who worked in narcotics. He
recognized Mal as a police officer, which is why he tried
to escape from him.
Clemente gets put in handcuffs, and Mal gets violent.
Pull Mal back.
Later that night, Natara speaks with Chief Blaire again.
She ends the phone call early, when Mal comes to speak
with her. Mal says that Clemente is not the culprit.
Clemente learned about the murders from his girlfriend,
who works in evidence. She gave him information about the
case, and he made replica masks.
Natara goes to the lab to give a DNA sample, seeing as
she's working on the case. Amy is working there, and
she's glad for a chance to talk to a female officer. She
asks about romance, and Natara deduces that Amy likes
Eric.
Pick whichever option you like, in response to Amy's
dilemma. After Natara leaves, the game switches to high
school sophomore Brittany Emerson. She snuck out of the
house to join a beach party. Choose whatever you want to,
during this section.
Brittany temporarily leaves the party to call her mother.
She lies about where she is, and the Maskmaker grabs her.
Struggle all you want, but he will eventually take her
away, unconscious.

1. Tell Blaire that things are proceeding as expected.
2. Say that the Maskmaker is 20-40, an introvert and
highly intelligent.
3. Ask if Eric identified what the victim was drugged
with.
4. Say, "Um...What?" to Amy.
5. Tell Boggs the mask is creepy.
6. Tell Boggs that Mal is uncouth.
7. Ask about the female mask.
8. Tell Mal to negotiate the price.

Dan Dan Dim Sum, then accelerate and cut off the
criminal.
10. Threaten the criminal.
11. Pull Mal back.
12. Say that Clemente made replica masks.
13. Say that Amy is talking about Eric.
003d. Chapter Three: Bad Medicine
---------------------------------------------------------
Mal and Natara arrive at the beach, where Brittany's body
was found. Captain Yeong is agitated, and Natara wonders
why. Say that the case is getting personal, because the
victim is around the same age as Yeong's daughter.
The detectives examine the body. There are signs of a
struggle. Mal says this murder is different, because the
other victims weren't placed. The other victims were
dumped in the San Francisco Bay, while this corpse has
been on land the whole time.
The ID comes back on the victim. Mal and Natara visit her
home. The family is grieving, and they do not want to
talk for long. Console Mr. Emerson however you want, then
ask to speak with his daughter.
Anna claims that she doesn't know anything that her
parents don't already know. Say that you think she might
know something. It turns out that Anna knows Brittany was
going to a beach party, instead of studying.
Natara and Mal report this information to Captain Yeong.
The beach is not only where the body was found, but it is
also the scene of death.
A few hours later, Eric and Amy are on the crime scene.
Eric expresses disdain for high school parties, then says
that the victim was taken near the bonfire. Say that this
doesn't make sense, because the culprit would have been
seen if he took the victim so close to everyone else.
Amy starts picking things up, and she has a flash of
insight. Brittany's parents didn't hear the party, when
she called home. This means Brittany probably walked away
from the bonfire to make the call. Amy goes to a nearby
secluded area, with some bushes, and she discovers a
piece of a shirt, which is stained with blood.
Call Eric over. Eric and Amy discover a vial, which
probably held the drugs that were used to incapacitate
the victim. This drug is later identified as
succinylcholine, and the vial belongs to a Dr. Christian
Rose.
Tell Natara that you don't think Rose is the killer. The
two of them arrive at Rose's operating facility, where
they hear a scream. Peek in through a crack. Mal sees
multiple people, and another scream is heard. Mal and
Natara burst inside.
Dr. Rose is removing a bullet from Miguel Flores, the
leader of a drug cartel. His bodyguards aim their guns at
Mal and Natara. Miguel orders you to leave, or else he
will tell his bodyguards to attack.
Tell Miguel that you just want to talk. He doesn't
believe Mal, and he orders his bodyguards to move
forward. Aim your gun at Miguel or Dr. Rose, then tell
Rose that this is about the Maskmaker case. Rose removes
the bullet from Miguel.
Either Rose or Miguel (depending on who you aimed the gun
at) pulls out a gun. Shoot before the other person does,
and a shootout ensues. If you aimed the gun at Miguel, he
is killed. If you aimed the gun at Rose, tell Natara to
take the shot, and she kills Miguel Flores. Rose escapes
during the gunfight. Let him go, because it's too
dangerous to chase him.
The guards stop firing, and one prepares a Molotov
cocktail. Shoot under the cabinet to intercept the
attack. The cocktail hits the boyguard. While Mal steps
forward, the other bodyguard sneaks up behind Natara and
holds her at gunpoint.
Put down your gun. The bodyguard laughs and prepares to
shoot Mal, but Natara attacks him before he makes the
shot.
Back at the precinct, Captain Yeong is unhappy to hear
that the detectives don't suspect Dr. Rose of being the
Maskmaker. Tell her that it's a theory, and you get
Detective Points. Yeong doesn't want to hear any more,
until you get evidence to prove Rose is innocent.
Ken comes to speak with the detectives, while Yeong gives
a press conference about the case.
---
You get detective points if you...
1. Say the case is getting personal for Captain Yeong.
2. Say that the other victims weren't placed.
3. Ask to speak with Mr. Emerson's daughter.
4. Tell Anna "We think you might."
5. Tell Eric that his explanation doesn't make sense.
6. Call Eric over.
7. Tell Natara that you don't think Rose is the killer.
8. Peek through a crack before going inside.
9. Tell them that you just want to talk.
10. Say that this is about the Maskmaker case.
11. Shoot the person who is holding a gun at you.
12. Tell Natara to take a shot. This only happens, if you
aimed your gun at Dr. Rose.
13. Let Dr. Rose escape.
14. Shoot under the cabinet.
15. Put your gun down.
16. Tell Captain Yeong that Rose's innocence is just a
theory.
003e. Chapter Four: Buried Secrets
---------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Natara heads to the police station.
Everyone is busy trying to find Dr. Rose, but Mal wants
to review the case. He makes it clear that he wants to
disobey orders and pursue the Maskmaker, not Dr. Rose.
Cooperate with Mal, and the two detectives review the
case. Mal reads a list of victims and asks if you want
him to repeat it. Then, he asks if they have anything in
common. Respond that they all have reddish hair.
Mal and Natara discuss the most recent victim, who
appears to have been killed on impulse. Since her death
wasn't planned ahead of time, the killer must have seen
the party. He was too old to attend himself, and if he
knew about the party ahead of time, he would have
prepared to kill.
Natara and Mal head to a rich neighborhood, which would
give them a good vantage point for the party. Mal
approaches a nearby realtor, and he pretends that he and
Natara are a couple who are looking to buy a house in the
area.
Cooperate with Mal's cover story, by saying you two met
at a party and by saying you're concerned for your baby.
The realtor says that the worst person in the
neighborhood is the doctor who lives at 240, who keeps
odd hours.
Mal and Natara go to the house. It looks like no one is
home at the moment, but without a warrant, our heroes
can't go inside. Choose to look in the trashcans, and
Natara finds plaster from Italia Imports and Exports.
Mal accepts this as probably cause, for examining the
house. The two of them go inside, and they find that the
house is completely empty. It seems like it's been
abandoned for months, actually. When Mal returns from
exploring the upstairs area, Natara sees a dark shape
moving behind him.
Don't say anything, because shouting would escalate the
situation. The dark shape comes closer, and Natara sees
that it is a man in black, wearing a mask. Fortunately,
the Maskmaker doesn't know that Natara has seen him.
Draw your gun and shoot. Natara nearly hits the
Maskmaker's hand. Mal lands on the ground. Ignore him, in
favor of chasing the Maskmaker. The Maskmaker seems to
have escaped instantly, but instead of searching outside,
search deeper in the house.
Natara comes across a trapdoor in the floor. It's dark,
so turn on your flashlight. The walls are covered with
masks, pictures and writings. Looks like we just found
that Maskmaker's base of operations. Natara hears a noise
from the other side of a door here. Shoot the lock open
and rush inside.
This is the room where the Maskmaker operates. The masked
man is lying face down on the floor, with a syringe in
his arm. Natara suspects he tried to commit suicide. She
pulls off the mask to find that the man is Dr. Rose.
Later, Captain Yeong complements our heroes on catching
the culprit. Given the circumstances of Rose's arrest, he
certainly seems like the killer. Yeong asks why Natara is
hesitant to agree. Say that she is trying to do her job.
There are a few discrepancies with the case, which will
hopefully be resolved when the house is thoroughly
examined.
After this, Mal says that Natara seems worried. Ask, "You
noticed?". Mal offers to take Natara to dinner. Say, "I
am pretty hungry", and at the restaurant, thank the
owner.
Mal and Natara take a walk afterwards. Pick any
conversation topics you want here. Mal will talk about
his wife, who left him a month ago. Natara is hesitant to
talk about the events that happened with her previous
partner, in Miami.
The game switches to Dr. Rose, in a hospital. He can't
talk at this point, and so he can do nothing but watch
helplessly as the real Maskmaker appears and kills him.
---
You get detective points if you...
1. Tell Mal "Let's do it."
2. Point out all the victims had reddish hair.
3. Conclude that the killer must have seen the party.
4. As part of your cover story, say you met Mal at a
party.
5. As part of your cover story, say you're worried for
"our baby".
6. Since you have no warrant, look in the trashcans.
7. Don't say anything about the dark shape.
8. Draw your gun and shoot the Maskmaker.
9. Chase after him!
10. Don't go outside. Instead, go deeper into the house.
11. Turn on your flashlight to see.
12. Shoot the lock to the other room.
13. Assure Captain Yeong that you just want to do your
job.
14. Ask Mal "You noticed?"
15. Say, "I am pretty hungry."
16. Tell Sean "Thank you!"
003f. Chapter Five: Unmasked
---------------------------------------------------------
The case is closed now that the lead suspect is dead, but
Natara still wants to examine the house. Mal agrees to
come along and help.
Lance Boggs shows up, outside the house. He offers to
help with the masks. Agree to let him help. He is happy,
until he learns that he won't set foot inside the house.
Eric is working inside the house. Ask him about the
house, to learn that it is owned by a Michael Resler.
Natara wonders why Dr. Rose would buy such an expensive
house, when he didn't live it in. Mal suggests that it's
because it has a soundproof basement.
You can examine everything in the house, if you want. You
need to examine the masks, then move them to find a safe.
Call over Mal to look at it. He undoes an amateur bomb,
attached to the safe.
Go into the other room and examine the wardrobe. Look at
the coat to find an old photograph of a boy and his
redheaded sister. The game switches to the day the
photograph was taken, which was in 1988.
You control the young boy who will grow up to be the
Maskmaker. Pick whichever options you want. The boy and
his sister get in a fight.
Natara points out the fact that Dr. Rose doesn't have a
sister. The backside of the picture has an address, which
Mal travels to. The house does not seem to be in good
condition. An old woman on the street asks if she can
help Mal.
Ask if she can answer questions about the house, then ask
how long the house has been empty. Say you're asking,
because there are reports of a gas leak. The woman says
that the house has been abandoned for years, ever since
the owner moved away. He pays the woman to come by twice
a week and take care of it.
The woman takes Mal inside. It looks unused. Inside the
basement, Mal discovers animal skulls.
The game switches to 1989. The boy is torturing animals
for amusement. His sister discovers this, and she is
angry with him.
Back in the present day, Natara has found a word in a
trashcan, which starts with "reb". Eric tells Natara that
he is going to leave, then he mentions the discussion
Natara and Amy had about him, towards the end of chapter
two. Respond however you want to.
Mal returns, with information about the house. This clue
doesn't fit with Dr. Rose, who didn't grow up in San
Francisco. Mal asks about the safe, and Natara reveals
that it is password protected.
You can look around for clues some more, or you can input
the password at this time. The password is "Rebecca", the
name of the sister. The game then switches to 1990, where
the boy's mother is talking to a child psychologist.
Rebecca forces her brother to put on a mask.
Mal finds a picture and a map in the safe. The picture is
where Rebecca was killed while the map marks all the
locations where the bodies were dumped. Guess the
connection or review the evidence again. The connection
is Alcatraz.
Mal calls Amy and asks for her help. She finds a record
of a murder on Alcatraz, in 1990. The victim was Rebecca
Resler. Amy looks up the family members, and the only
surviving person in the family is Brian Resler, who was
institutionalized at the age of 12.
He was released in 2006. Amy manages to find a picture of
him, and he looks just like Eric.
Eric comes in at this moment. You have to be careful with
your responses here, because if you choose incorrectly,
Amy will be killed.
Eric asks if you were talking about him. Say that you
were. Take a step towards him, and Amy says she's worried
about her mother. Call her, when Eric gives you a phone.
When he apologies for his suspicion, tell him to forget
it.
Amy starts to leave, when Eric opens her computer and
sees his picture. He moves to attack her. Fight back with
a pair of scissors. Eric is wounded, but he incapacitates
Amy.
An officer comes in, and while he is distracted, Eric
knocks him out. He pulls the fire alarm, and uses the
confusion to escape. Constantly choose to breathe here,
or else Amy will die.
Eric takes Amy to a boat on the harbor, and he promises
to reveal her true face to the world.

003g. Chapter Six: The Devil's Island

Mal and Natara arrive at the forensics lab. Mal is upset
that Eric escaped with Amy. Say "I blame myself", which
is a more level-headed option than the other one.
Natara quickly explains that Eric is really Brian Resler,
the Maskmaker. Captain Yeong asks why they didn't
discover this sooner. It's because Eric ruled himself out
as a suspect. If his DNA was found at a crime scene, they
thought it was because he was inspecting the scene.
Eric must have planned to frame Dr. Rose for the crimes,
but he improvised a bit when his house was discovered.
Yeong asks for Eric's current location. It must be
Alcatraz Island.
At Alcatraz, two park rangers note that someone has
docked on the island. You control Ranger Lubbock at this
point. No matter what you choose, Eric will kill the two
rangers.
Back with Mal and Natara, Mal insists that they apprehend
Eric. This is because they know the case. Yeong agrees,
and she gives Mal a flare gun. If anything goes wrong, he
should shoot it in the air.
On Alcatraz, Amy is tied to a chair on the roof. She
believes that she can get her hands free, given enough
time. She talks to Eric to distract him, while she frees
her hands.
Tell Eric that his name is Brian. He will talk about the
day he killed his sister. Say that his family locked him
away. Eric continues the story, and he talks about how he
killed his sister. Say that her death was terrible.
Eric talks with Amy some more, but the conversation is
cut off when he notices Mal and Natara docking on the
island. Eric slaps Amy, pulls out a pistol, then goes to
take care of the officers.
With Mal and Natara, choose who should lead.
If Natara leads, she goes to the security office. There,
she should look at the roof. Mal notices a trip wire that
will go off if Natara moves. Ask Mal to knock you aside,
and when you reach the cells, keep hidden. Natara catches
Eric, and a fight ensues. Duck under his scalpel attack,
then kick low to knock him down. Eric starts to choke
Natara. Push three times to get him to back away.
If Mal leads, he goes to the cellblock. When you see
something, quietly investigate. The cells start to shut,
and you should remain hidden. When you see Eric, tackle
him. Subdue Eric's arms, and when he gets up, dive for
the gun. Natara hears the fight and runs to the area. Go
through the service entrance, and shoot Eric.
In both situations, Eric escapes temporarilty. Mal and
Natara go to the roof, where Eric is poised to kill Amy.
He threatens to kill her, if you don't drop your gun. Put
down the gun. Eric pulls out a gun and shoots Mal.
Natara can antagonize Eric at this point, to make him
lose control. Ask if he plans to kill Natara, like he
enjoyed killing Rebecca. Ask if this situation is getting
him off, and say that Rebecca was perfect.
Mal will get the flare gun towards Natara. Grab it and
shoot. Natara fires at Eric. He falls over the edge of
the roof and dies. The injured Mal wakes up in a hospital
three days later.
Mal and Natara discuss things. Eric must have had a
patron, who financed him, helped him learn medical
techniques and arranged for him to join the SFPD.
