your license plate with you.

Everything will be fine.

OK?

Trust me.

Yes?

The cops have a body for us.

Why for us?

I'm the county coroner.

Told you everything

would be fine.

Um, can't you just

take Henry with you?

Henry and the Chief

don't get along to well.

Why is that?

Probably something to do

with a woman.

See you out front.

Yeah.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Charlie.

- Hi!

He's not that ripe just yet.

It's his first corpse.

Me too.

You sure you can handle this,

sweetheart?

It's pretty gruesome.

I can handle it, Dad.

Looks like he was out

for his evening walk,

lost his footing in the dark,

and fell down the embankment.

Is that Armin Imholz?

Mr. Pickles.

Uh, this is Oliver Whynacht.

Mr. Pickles moved

to Elder's Bluff

when he left TV

a couple years back.

You know, you must remember

his show Dillville?

I didn't watch much television

as a child.

Roberta, always a pleasure.

It looks like he got hit

by a car, huh?

Maybe.

Except for the fact of

the neck being broken like that.

That's usually more consistent

with this type of fall.

If there's anything out of the

ordinary when I examine him,

I'll just let you

know right away.

Uh, cribbage tonight?

8:
30?

Is it Tuesday already?

Oliver, bag.

Charlie.

Oh for god's sake, Charlie,

photograph everything.

Charlie,

give me a hand please.

Yeah. Oh yeah.

It's a small town.

Everybody knows everybody.

What does your father think

about you dating his Constable?

He hates it.

He had his appendix removed.

From the scar I'd say he was

a teenager when it happened.

These other scars...

bitten by a dog at one point.

Uh, what are you

going to do with that?

Well, I've got to cut him open

if it's gonna look

like a real autopsy.

Can you pass me the rib cutters,

please and my goggles?

Rib cutters?

You know, I-

I've got some...

stuff to do.

Well, this is quite the mess!

So... you hit a deer?

Yeah, I knew this fella got

killed by a deer on the highway.

Broke through the windshield

and skewered him in the

throat with its antler.

It was quite some sight.

Good night, boss.

What are you doing out here,

Mr. Whynacht?

Oh, uh, I went for a walk.

Got really tired.

Hitchhiking is illegal.

Sorry!

I'll take you back to town.

OK.

Roberta finished

the autopsy.

Cause of death was a broken neck

due to accidental fall.

So, no foul play

is suspected?

This isn't the city,

Mr. Whynacht.

People don't go around

killin' each other out here.

So if you'd like to give us

the information about

your preferred funeral

home in Switzerland,

we'll take care of all

the necessary arrangements.

Of course, we can also

have the funeral here

if you would like.
