351 OK, good. 352 Yeah, that's right. Elk River. 353 Stand by for transmission. 354 Ray. 355 Doctor, Lamar, let's take a look at her. 356 OK, Starling. 357 Bill. 358 Star-shaped contact entrance wound over the sternum. 359 A muzzle stamp at the top. 360 Wrongful death. 361 She'll have to go to the state pathologist at Claxton. 362 Well, I'd better get back to that service. Lamar'll help you. 363 Lord Almighty. 364 What else do you see, Starling? 365 Well, she's not local. 366 Her ears are pierced three times and there's glitter nail polish. 367 That looks like town to me. 368 Two of her fingernails are broken off and there's dirt or grit under them. 369 It looks like she's tried to claw her way through something. 370 Ray, get pictures of her teeth. We'll fax 'em for Missing Persons. 371 Let's do another. 372 She's got something in her throat. 373 When a body comes out of the water, lots of times there's leaves in the mouth. 374 What is that? Some kind of seed pod? 375 No, sir. That's a bug cocoon. 376 There's no way that could get way down in there. 377 Not unless somebody shoved it in there. 378 She'll be easier to print when we turn her over. Lamar, give me a hand. 379 Yes, sir. I wiII. 380 - Oh, Jack. What do you make of these? - Different configuration than the others. 381 - Get close-ups. - The victim's skin removed, 382 this time in two large diamond-shaped sections above the buttocks. 383 Exit wound level with the second or the third thoracic vertebrae, 384 six inches from the right shoulder blade. 385 Starling, when I told that sheriff we shouldn't talk in front of a woman, 386 that really burned you, didn't it? 387 It was just smoke, Starling. I had to get rid of him. 388 It matters, Mr Crawford. Cops look at you to see how to act. 389 - It matters. - Point taken. 390 Ligature marks found around the wrists, not around the ankles. 391 This would indicate that the skinning was postmortem. 392 - Time, Pilch. My move. - You lured him with produce. 393 Tough noogies. It's still my turn. 394 Nice and slow, baby. 395 If the beetle moves one of your men, does that still count? 396 Course it counts. How do you play? 397 Agent Starling? 398 Where the heck did this come from? It's practically mush. 399 It was found behind the soft palate of a murder victim in the Elk River. 400 - It's Buffalo Bill, isn't it? - I can't tell you any more.
