[overseeing the autopsy on the 'Ripper' Scellenda]
Lt. Fred Williams:
So, what's the good news, Barry?
Dr. Barry Jones, Coroner:
Well, from the pulmonary result, the cause of death was suffocation. Self-inflicted by the plastic bag thrown over his head.
Lt. Fred Williams:
What about the time of death?
Dr. Barry Jones, Coroner:
That I have for you exactly. Between four and five AM on Tuesday the 10th, eight days ago.
Lt. Fred Williams:
Eight days? Bullshit! That son-of-a-bitch murdered Kitty just four days ago. He couldn't have have been dead for eight days! You're wrong!
Dr. Barry Jones, Coroner:
Come on, Barnaby. How long have we known each other? How long have I been a coroner? 16 years! Now, if I say the time of death was eight days ago, then the time of death was eight days ago! Sure, I admit I could be a few hours off, but no more.
Lt. Fred Williams:
Jesus Christ...
Dr. Barry Jones, Coroner:
Does it really matter?
Lt. Fred Williams:
Yeah, it does.
