We set up a perimeter six feet back. Any reporter crosses it; arrest him. Now gentlemen, before this gets out of hand, let's put the kibosh on something. With publicity, you get confessions. With confessions, you get crazies, liars, and false leads. So, we keep some things quiet. The uh, ear to ear facial lacerations, disembowelment; you keep this information to yourselves. Not your wives, not your girlfriends, and no other officers, and I mean no -- Bleichert, what the hell are you doing here? Where the hell's Blanchard?"

Ian McNeice as The Coroner

• (Ian McNeice) "On gross pathology, we have a female Caucasian between sixteen and thirty. The cadaver is presented in two halves with bisection level with the umbilicus. Through and through lacerations of both mouth corners. No visible bruising on the neck. Rectangular abrasions on the wing tips of the sphenoid bones. And, oh. A puncture wound, here, in the palm. On the palm of the right hand. Investigation of upper half abdominal cavity reveals no free-flowing blood. Intestines, stomach, spleen, liver; all removed."
• (Mike Starr) "Is it all right to smoke, doctor?"
• (Ian McNeice) "She won't mind. Lower half of cadaver reveals removal of all reproductive organs. Both legs broken at the knee. Questions?"
• (Mike Starr) "What's your best guess?"
• (Ian McNeice) "Well, here's what she wasn't; she wasn't raped and she wasn't pregnant. In terms of the nitty gritty, the cause of death is either the mouth wound here or she was beaten to death with something like a baseball bat."
• (Aaron Eckhart) "What about her insides?"
• (Ian McNeice) "They came out posthumously. I'd say then he drained the blood from the body and washed it clean, probably in a bathtub."

Mia Kirshner as Elizabeth Short

• (Mia Kirshner) "Please, say that you care, or say that you think that I'm -- beautiful."

Richard Brake as Bobby DeWitt
