BUD<br />
What happened?<br />
EXLEY<br />
Someone held up a coffee shop,<br />
panicked and killed six people.<br />
Then, from the hall...<br />
WOMAN (O.S.)<br />
Not my baby! Not my little girl!<br />
INT. COUNTY MORGUE - EXAMINATION ROOM - DAY<br />
HILDA LEFFERTS, 50, enters with the coroner to ID the<br />
body of her daughter, Susan.<br />
There's stray buckshot in the upper chest and shoulders,<br />
but a sheet hides the real damage. It's the girl Bud saw<br />
outside Hollywood Liquor. Without the black eyes, she<br />
does look like Rita hayworth.<br />
As Bud and Exley appear, Mrs. Lefferts looks confused.<br />
CORONER<br />
Is this your daughter, Mrs.<br />
Lefferts?<br />
MRS. LEFFERTS<br />
I -- I don't know.<br />
EXLEY<br />
We know this is difficult. Just<br />
take your time and look again.<br />
Exley doesn't realize, but Bud recognizes the deceased.<br />
MRS. LEFFERTS<br />
It seems like my Susan, but...<br />
EXLEY<br />
When was the last time you saw<br />
her, Mrs. Lefferts?<br />
MRS. LEFFERTS<br />
At Christmas. We had fought. I<br />
didn't like her boyfriend. I -she<br />
has a birthmark on her hip.<br />
The Coroner lifts the sheet. Mrs. Lefferts gasps.<br />
MRS. LEFFERTS<br />
It's her. My baby. Dear God...<br />
As Mrs. Lefferts swoons, Bud and Exley both hold her up.
