There's some nuance involved in this one. If you haven't ever seen LA Confidential, move along. Nothing to see here.

When Vincennes whispers the name and laughs, he knows as he's dying that he's given Dudley the key that can be Dudley's undoing. That is his "valediction." And indeed, when Dudley later asks Exley about the name, Exley has the relevation that the doomed Vincennes has hoped for.
