"Talking Heads" is the fourth episode of the first season of the American medical drama Body of Proof. It was originally broadcast in the United States on ABC on April 12, 2011. The episode was directed by Christine Moore and written by Diane Ademu-John.

In this episode, Megan (Dana Delany) and her team investigate the murder of Callum O'Donnell, but have much difficulty in finding his body, as it was dismembered. After finding the victim's daughter, Jenny (Abigail Hawk) and her husband Dean (Tom Pelphrey) with the victim's money, this leads them to suspect many of Callum's acquantices. Meanwhile, Megan's daughter, Lacey (Mary Mouser), goes to Megan's work, for a school project.

The episode received positive reviews, and was watched by 11.06 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings, on the Tuesday night it aired in the United States. Critics praised guest star Kathy Searle, who appeared as Irina Tomislava, who dismembered the victim, however did not murder him, calling it "impressive" and that it had a sense of "eerie coldness", naming it "disturbing".

Dr. Megan Hunt (Dana Delany) receives a call as a hand and a foot was found. Megan and Peter Dunlop (Nicholas Bishop) notice that the hand and foot are severed, leading them to search for the other body parts. Megan concludes that it is a single male and has rheumatoid arthritis. After finding a stamp on the victim, it leads them to a casino, they find out his name is Cal, and see him on the security footage. Megan, Peter, and Ethan Gross (Geoffrey Arend) find a knee and a thigh, and the team find out that the man had knee replacement surgery. Peter tracks the serial number for the knee replacement; finding out the victim is Callum O'Donnell. His daughter Jenny (Abigail Hawk) identifies the body parts of Callum, based on his scars and injuries. They find the rest of Callum's body parts in his freezer, apart from the head. Megan and Detective Samantha Baker (Sonja Sohn) speak to Callum's neighbours, Mira (Li Jun Li) and Frank Ling (Pun Bandhu) and the Ling's nanny, Irina (Kathy Searle).
