00:00Can I help you?
00:06You are a scientist?
00:08I'm a science teacher.
00:09I have questions.
00:10I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to be of service to you, Rabbi.
00:13I'm not a rabbi.
00:15My wife, she died.
00:18I fear her soul is suffering until she returns to the earth.
00:22What's to become of her body?
00:30They use pigs.
00:31They most closely resemble people.
00:33The body is reduced to tiny bits of skin and bone.
00:36And how long does this take?
00:38I suppose one could bury a pig.
00:40I don't imagine that that's kosher.
00:46I buried a pig.
00:47We're having office hours here.
00:50I just realized nobody knows where I am.
00:52I should have left a note.
00:56This is unscientific at best.
00:58You need a pig more like your wife.
01:00No offense.
01:02Oh, shit.
01:03Will this make you better?
01:04I hope it's here.
01:06I'm here to see Schmel.
01:07He's a friend of mine.
01:09A business friend.
01:10Look, it's a body farm in Tennessee.
01:13What's a body farm?
01:15We have on our hands a woman.
01:17She was buried six feet under back in June.
01:19What's that body going to look like right about now?
01:22Where did you say you were from?
01:26His blood is on our hands.
01:28His blood is on my carpet.
01:32What are you after, Schmel?
01:33What is this all about?
01:35I don't know.
01:37What's your friend's name?
01:38Uh, Schmel.
01:39Schmuel.
01:40Jesus loves you, Schmel Schmuel.
01:41I don't know.
01:42I don't know.
01:43I don't know.
01:43I don't know.
01:43I don't know.
01:44I don't know.
01:44I don't know.
01:45I don't know.
01:45I don't know.
01:45I don't know.
01:46I don't know.
01:46I don't know.
