All language subtitles for In the Heat of the Night s08e03 By Duty Bound

Yeah, nah.

at this thing.

We've only just got here.

Yeah, well, I've already had enough.

Well, where's your sense of civic pride?

Well, it ran away with me.

Honey.

This is a perfect day for fishing, and
here we are at a hot air marathon.

Well, I'm sorry, but you promised, so
you're just going to have to go through

with it. I know what I'm... Hey, hey.

Oh, hi.

Y 'all remember Cory?

Sure I remember Cory. How could you
forget little Cory? How you doing? Hi.

thank you. Hi, Cory.

glad you introduced us. And so am I.

Bill, how'd she get you out here?

Well, I'm fixing to buy a boat, so I
have to be on my best behavior.

I'm going to go circulate.

Don't be too long about it, please.

There's something else about New York.

You're going to have folks lining up for
operations just because it's free.

You mean when they're not sick?

People are going to get operations just
because it's free.

Oh, yeah, Grover. People will do that.

Oh, hi, Harry.

Holly, Grover, everyone.

Oh, I don't think you've met Carrie
Madigan, Madigan Wholesale.

No, I haven't.

Harry DeLoff.

Yes, of course. I've heard quite a lot
about you.

I hope not all from Holly.

Very little from Holly.

So how do you like being married to a
county sheriff?

Well, I like the one I'm married to.

Great. Glad to see things are going so
well for you.

Sir, Harriet, you have a little bone
mold for the Herald? A caption for this

charming event? I'm working it.

Why, first and sure.

Let's see.

What about taxpayers throw a party for
the well -heeled?

Why?

Stirris up resentment. I like that.

Well, I don't. Talk to you later.

I see what you mean. Wow.

And was Gillespie doing what she tells
him?

She's running the whole damn county.
Now, are you going to help us change

or not?

I'm not going to listen to this. Why
not?

You're the press, ain't you?

The impartial press.

Oh, ridiculous.

You can't stand Gillespie anymore than
the rest of us.

Are you going to announce formally?

Why not?

Gillespie's fair game.

Great. All right, a toast then.

The future sheriff of Newman County, our
friend, Kerry Madigan.

Want to dance?

I don't know. Come on.

Make

it

tomorrow night, not Thursday.

I'm all set for Thursday.

Well, get on set.

Did you just see me come in?

Uh -huh.

Then you must have seen my wax with me.

Uh -huh.

Stay away from me, will you?

I just need a minute.

Good morning, Park.

Good morning, Chief Forbes.

What treasures did the night bring us?
Well, Peep and Tom turned out to be a

raccoon. You know, I had one as a pet
when I was 10 years old. Cute little

fella, too. Okay.

That's the good news, Parker. What about
now?

Well, attempted murder, two aggravated
assaults, and a street holdup with no

suspect yet on the holdup. Good morning,
Chief.

What did you do with those other
suspects?

Well, the assaults we had to put over
with the county and the attempted murder

is in a holding cell down under the
courthouse.

Gee, Preston Donner is waiting.

In my office?

He made an appointment.

You're right.

Morning, Preston.

Morning, Chief.

Can I get you some more coffee?

Lieutenant just got it.

So when do you figure out being Chief,
son?

I don't.

Indian Tilly told me it wasn't in my
future, Mr. Donner.

What can I do for you?

Well, you all know that crime is the
number one concern these days.

So you tell us in the Herald.

And the Herald is doing a special
feature on law enforcement.

A frank, hard look at performance.

My performance?

No, not yours.

But there's a lot of people unhappy
about the sheriff.

So we have to look at that.

Now, do you think he's pulling his
weight?

He's the best cop I ever worked with.

You excuse me, Chief.

That does not answer my question.

Can I speak entirely on the record?

Of course you can.

I know your style, Donna.

I know you're trying to do a hatcher job
on Gillespie, and I don't like it.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.

Can you take that out with you?

That rare, remember?

Oh, I still got the bruise, honey. Don't
worry, I ain't forgot.

What's he doing here?

He knows I ain't got money for them
smokes.

If you don't, I'll tell her.

Look it.

Whoa, bomber girlfriend.

No, it's great.

Amber, I don't want a baby. I've always
wanted one.

We want your head examined.

You go to Jackson, you take care of it.

having a baby have made my mind up.

Well, it is a free country.

No, you're wrong about Brian.

I know he's going to help out.

Sorry, I don't have your money.

Give it to me later.

That woman.

Thanks.

I know it.

Personal call for Frank Cole, line
three.

Frank Cole, line three.

Is it cold?

Frank?

Me. I told you, beat me. Don't call me
here.

I'm just so excited. I have to see you
tonight.

Well, I want to see you too, honey, but
I'm busy tonight.

Frank, I'm pregnant.

We're pregnant.

Okay.

I got to go now.

Frank, when you get off?

When can I see you?

Meet me tomorrow.

Bye -bye.

Sounds to me like getting a little on
the side.

Well, if I was, I sure wouldn't want to
get around.

Better not.

If you're going to be my chief deputy,
you've got to be a fine, upstanding

citizen like myself.

I'm working real hard on it, Miss
Madigan.

So, how many cases are you planning on
boosting?

Thirty. And two for me make thirty -two,
right?

Only two?

My needs are modest.

What's it like out there tonight?

Should be good for you now that we've
dealt with everything.

Whoa,

whoa, whoa. Not quite everything.

The evening shift closed out all
incidents except for a disturbance out

flats.

The Ramirez residence.

Well, we've been there before.

You ready?

Always a fun way to start a shift.

Preventing a murder in a household.

Okay. What's happening here? He's drunk
again.

I had a few drinks. She's crazy.

He's a liar.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

No trouble.

What you gonna do?

Well, this has happened before.

I have somewhere to stay.

You okay to ride, sir?

We can give you a lift.

I'm fine. Gracias.

Really.

Okay.

Think he'll be okay?

Well, if he falls, he ain't far from the
ground.

hell's he doing here?

Hey, Hector. How you doing, man?

Mr. Cola, I'm sorry.

You know my wife, Maria. She's crazy.

She threw me out again.

Yeah, well, you ain't supposed to be out
here at night.

Yeah, I know. I was just gonna sleep on
the dock till work time, but I'll go

now. No, hell no. Come on. Let's hang
out.

Let's talk about this.

Okay.

This here's the situation.

What are we going to do?

So, uh, how come you're working so late?

We're just doing what we're told.

Mr. Madigan told you to do this?

Yeah.

But you got a problem with that?

Maybe.

You're stealing these cigarettes, and
Mr.

Madigan, he don't mind. What's it to
you, heck?

You want to do something about it?

Me?

Oh, no.

As long as you take care of me.

Cool.

Grab his arms.

Come on, put him in the truck.

Who's getting fired?

Where are we going to take him?

The place where he had his unfortunate
accident.

Start the truck up.

50, Sheriff.

You'll be the king of Lake Wenatchee.

50? What do you mean, knots of miles an
hour?

Knots? She'll do 60 with the custom
prop.

Well, now, what kind of lake fish needs
pursuing at 60 knots?

Good question. We better concentrate on
these pontoons over here.

Oh, they're real slow.

Well, I know it, but that's all right,
slow.

I'm going to have plenty of time on my
hands.

I think this is a handsome vessel.

Oh, I kind of like this. This is like a
floating patio.

See, you could fish. I could read my
book.

This works.

You know what? You could cook the fish
on a little gas grill I put in the stand

for you there.

If you clean it first.

Fine. You thinking about retiring?

Sure.

Well, most people do sooner or later,
don't they?

I've been sure for a year.

Oh, everybody knows he was just
finishing out McComb's term. That term

Maybe I can get some rest now. Maybe.

Yeah, maybe.

Give me.

Oh, this is Chief Ford calling me. We're
going to have to cut this thing short.

I want to come back and have a test
drive. Well, you just let me know when.

Fine.

10 a .m. Tuesday. Sheriff Gillespie
goofing off in the boat yard.

Possible caption.

Bad guys can relax.

Sheriff Gillespie does.

Chris, I'm sent for the priest.

Well, this is a shame.

Hit and run.

School bus driver found him on Jackson
Highway.

Happened sometime last night.

We only got him an hour ago.

You mean if you'd got him earlier, might
have made a difference?

Lord knows.

We're not a trauma center, but he might
have had a chance.

EKG text to OR.

EKG text to OR, please.

The man just died.

Somebody just ran him off the road and
left him there.

Yes, it looks like.

DA might call this felony manslaughter,
but leaving a man like that is just

murder, plain and simple. I agree.

We ought to be able to find paint chips
or something to help us identify that

car.

I'll see what I can do.

Now, if you work up that incident
report, will you fax a copy over to my

Yes, sir.

Good morning, Mrs. Madigan.

Frank, taking an early lunch? No, sir. I
just left something in my car.

Frank.

You overdid it again.

I did like you said.

Taking away too much. I can't get a
write -off for that much pill for it.

then don't take that big a write -off.
Then it don't pay me to let you steal.

I'm giving you back 20 % of what I make,
so you got that.

Plus insurance.

Plus, a ride on.

Ain't that nice?

No.

Hey, sugar.

Frank, I really need to talk to you.

How in the hell did this happen?

Well, you ought to know, Frank. You
wouldn't wear anything.

Look, I got work to do.

I'll see you later.

We cannot see you and really be alone
with you because we got to talk.

Nine o 'clock at the lake.

Fine.

And don't you dare not make it.

like it. Did you tell me you want to
keep the baby?

You're wrong about him, Karen.

And when are you going to pay me for
them smokes?

Hey, you know we're good for it.

How you doing?

Fine. How are you?

I'm fine.

You ready for some fun and games?

Well, I'm ready for the whatever. Do you
know what it is? No, he didn't say, but

he had that tone in his voice. I know it
too well.

Unfortunate. Thanks.

Hello, Harry. Ted.

How's it going?

Grover?

What's the secret topic?

It's no secret at all, Harriet.

Sheriff McComb's term is up.

And I'm sure we all hope Gillespie will
run for a full term, right?

I think we hope that the most qualified
person will be the new sheriff.

Well, isn't that what I just said,
Holly?

You know what Gillespie's intentions
are?

You know, pillow talk.

What has the county sheriff's intentions
got to do with this city council?

Well, we have a very strong contender.

I'd like you all to meet him.

Consider a council endorsement.

Now, who is this?

Kerry Madigan.

Your buddy.

You know, no one would expect you to be
objective, Harriet, since you're married

to Gillespie.

You dragged me over here for this.

And you didn't even have the courtesy to
ask me or Bill if he wanted to run.

Well, I can't say I'm surprised.

You know, you folks are going to shine,
Gary.

How fast do you reckon the vehicle was
moving?

They were going pretty slow.

Slow, huh?

How can you tell?

By the debris pattern. It indicates the
impact velocity.

What does it look like?

Well, Ramirez was hit from behind by a
vehicle going no more than 10 miles an

hour. Here.

These are good numbers, Lonnie.

What do you think happened?

I don't know.

His light was on and working. We checked
the filament.

Any idea where he was going?

Well, the place he worked is a couple of
miles back. There's nothing out this

way until Marshallburg.

He lived in town?

Yes, sir.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense now,
does it?

Not yet.

Excuse me?

Oh, calico bass.

Hard to catch, easy to eat.

Hot roast.

Huh?

You can catch some right here.

Easy to eat.

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah.

Oh, my goodness.

And it smells wonderful, too.

Oh, look at that.

I sense there's something bothering you.

We had a city council meeting today.

That'll do it every time.

Well, Holly and some of the others are
pushing for a new sheriff.

Well, sure.

They figure I'm not going to run.

And for once, they're right.

They're pushing for Kerry Madigan.

Oh.

Oh, yeah, the big wholesale guy.

Yeah, well, all right. He might be good.

Why?

He doesn't have any experience.

He has no integrity.

He'd be terrible.

Well, let's see if the voters agree with
you.

I can't believe you don't care.

Well, I might, but so what? You don't
want me to stay in there another term,

you?

No.

No.

Oh, this is purely delicious.

Yes, I'll have...

Can't you live without gravy?

Hey, Jules, what's happening?

You're late.

Yeah? That's what's happening.

I brung you some smokes.

I don't want none.

I gave up.

You can sell them.

I know that you sell them.

Oh, come on, sugar babe.

We gotta talk.

Do a little bump, and you and I can chit
-chat from now to forever.

Frank, what about our baby? You want to
poison your own child?

You ain't thinking about having it. Of
course I'm having it.

Well, you ain't making it now, except
for what I give you.

How the hell are you going to raise a
child?

You're just going to have to give me
more.

You're dreaming, honey.

I'll give you just enough for an
abortion.

You don't understand.

I'm having our child.

No, no, no. You see, I already have a
child with my wife.

This ain't our child.

This is a mistake.

No, it ain't.

Look, why don't you beat me when you
come to your senses?

I'll give you enough money to get rid of
it.

Mississippi will have something to say.

You threaten me with a paternity suit?

That's exactly right.

Don't think I won't tell about that.

Damn club, it's bent or something.

It bends when you swing it, Holly. It's
supposed to.

You know, I believe your game is
actually getting worse.

Oh, thank you, Preston.

I can always depend on the force of
state for an encouraging word.

Don't worry, Holly. I'll keep it off of
page one.

All right, Kerry.

Oh, very nice. That was winning form.
Yeah.

Good shot.

So when are we going to see something?

Soon. I got my ace girl on Gillespie.

Really, you couldn't do something on
Miss Gillespie throwing a tantrum in the

council meeting?

I'd love to.

You just give me the word.

Can the council really endorse somebody?

They've done it before.

Because if Gillespie does run, I'm going
to need that.

You know what would really help you?

Get Chief Forbes behind you.

Any buddies with Gillespie?

Oh, Forbes is a good man, and he ain't
in Gillespie's pocket.

You laughed at me.

Good

morning,

everybody. All right, Parker.

What hapless female has fallen for those
fleeting eyes?

Oh, is that obvious?

Unfortunately. Well, her name was
Melissa Farmer. And I met her line

TJ's. Didn't we just get a parole report
on a phone we just moved there?

What? Yeah.

What?

Hey, Lieutenant.

I got that crime lab report on that
hammer.

Oh, ma 'am, it does not look like... All
right.

All right, let's hear it. All right.

Yeah, thanks, Doc.

Appreciate it.

Crime lab couldn't find any paint on the
Ramirez bike.

They're saying it was run over by a
vehicle, not hit.

Doc, Rob says Ramirez died of blunt
force to the skull.

No abrasions.

Injuries are consistent with a fall, not
a wreck.

So we've got ourselves a murder,
pretending to be an accident.

A lot of great options here.

Look at that there.

What is that?

That's a three -dimensional sonar for
finding the pitch.

Well, uh, I guess I'd have to have that,
huh?

with ice chest for your beer?

Well, that's a definite recession.

You put 60 horsepower on here and you
can be water skiing or tubing.

That's getting real big.

Tubing? Sit down in the inner tube and
get towed by ropes.

Everybody's doing it.

I'm worried about you, Bonnie.

All right, then.

Watch the price.

Well, I'll make you a sweet deal,
Sheriff. Real sweet.

You're just saying over $10 ,000.

Okay, it's 9 -15 Wednesday.

Caption, your tax dollars at work.

I think we ought to be getting back now.

Hey, he waving at us.

Oh, that's Willie Arbuckle.

So it is. Yeah.

Watch out, Willie.

Something weird, Sheriff.

Look what I hooked out here.

You're going to have to boil it good,
Willie.

Is

that

oil well?

Sure is, Sheriff.

Gasoline, too.

Come and look through this thing and
tell me what you see there.

We'll show him.

Thank you, Willie.

Man,

they on to something.

Just shut up, Jimmy. Let me handle this.
Make yourself busy.

Well, that there ain't Madigan. That's
Frank Cole, but he's real tight with

Madigan. Well, it'll just be your usual
charm itself.

Howdy, Frank.

Hey. It's Parker, ain't it?

Yeah, yeah. That's right. We've met a
few times at TJ's. This here is

Jameson.

Mr. Cole, are you and Mr. Ramirez the
supervisors?

Yeah.

I'm just sick about this.

Hector was a good guy.

Do you have any idea why he was headed
away from town when he got hit?

Maybe he's lost coming out here.

His kind's partial to bodily.

What do you mean, his kind?

Well, you know, Mexican.

Well, actually, he's from San Salvador.

Wherever, you know what I mean.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Does he often come out here at night?

Only when his old lady got sick of him.

Like that night.

Mrs. Ramirez told you that?

No, he mentioned he's having some
problems. I just figured.

Okay, Mr. Cole. Well, if you think
anything else, give me a call, will you?

Will do.

See you, TJ.

Take care, Park.

When they're on to something, what do
they say?

What'd they say?

Man, this whole thing is very uncool.

What'd you have to kill him for? We had
to kill him, boy.

We.

You just remember that.

What kind of guy is he? You know, when
he's out, let's say at TJ's. Oh, loves

party. All the time with everybody.

Is he married?

Yeah, she loves to party too with
everybody.

Yo, Parker.

Yeah, go ahead, Brenda.

Chief needs Lieutenant Jameson down at
the lake.

Oh, not with the dive gear.

And you need to pick up the dive gear.

He's on his way.

Believe what's growing in that lake.

What's going on?

Cops were here about Ramirez.

Yeah?

What were they asking?

Why he was out this way.

Come on down here.

Ramirez came here that night, didn't he?

Maybe. Don't you mess with me, Frank.

He came here the night that you were
loading the stuff, didn't he? Now, what

happened?

You don't want to know.

No. No.

Is he here?

Who? Does he know?

You don't know nothing.

Is he done?

Very done.

Dumb is dangerous.

Julia, you in there?

I got your damn money.

Hey, Ken.

What do you want?

A couple packs, that's all.

You'll have to wait. I'm out right now.

Okay, bring it in.

There's someone in there. I think it's a
woman.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. It's a tag.

Run this, please.

Right away, Chief.

Is she in there alone, I hope?

I think so. Find out right now.

Did anyone call in a missing person?

No, not yet.

Do you think there could be an accident?

I guess there could.

Julia Lawrence, Chief.

What do you do with that Shady Glam?

Do you know her?

No.

I know Shady Glam.

Oh, hello there, Mr. Madigan.

Chief Forbes is expecting you. Come on
in.

Thank you.

Sergeant, uh... Shepard. D. Shepard.

D, really.

D. I always loved that name.

Well, thank you very much.

Mm -hmm.

As soon as you're ready, Doc.

Hmm.

Mr. Madigan.

Please.

Appreciate your time, Chief.

Oh, that's what I'm here for.

Now, is this the bachelor employee,
Ramirez?

Well, we're all really upset about
Hector. Can't believe somebody ran him

and just drove on.

No, nor can I.

Did he have any problems with anybody at
work?

No, no, we're just like one big family.

There can be trouble in the best of
families.

What are you driving at, Chief? You
think somebody deliberately ran Hector

I have to consider that.

If I knew anything, believe me, I'd help
you, Chief.

But that's not what I came in about.

Oh.

Put plainly, I am going to run.

Run?

For Sheriff.

Oh.

Okay.

Now, I've got strong support in the city
council, in the business community,

from just regular folk.

And I'm hoping to add your support.

Well, it must matter a couple of things.

First, I try real hard to stay out of
politics.

Second, Bill Gillespie's a good friend
of mine.

Oh, of course, of course. But I hear
he's not going to run.

Well, he hasn't told me that.

I don't think he'd want to run.

Not without support. It would be a bear.

And besides... People are just plain
tired of Gillespie.

Well, sir, if you run and become
sheriff, I look forward to a good

relationship with you.

In the meantime, my office is always
open. Thanks for coming in.

Well, I guess that's fair enough.

Thanks for your time, Chief.

Well, this must be his place.

You looking for Julia?

You a friend of hers?

More like a neighbor.

She in some kind of trouble?

I'm afraid she's dead.

Dead?

Her car went into the lake.

Excuse me, miss.

Do you know she's got a key anywhere?

You don't need a key to get into these
things.

Thank you, ma 'am.

Karen. Van.

Just Karen.

Yes, ma 'am.

Did she have a boyfriend?

Yeah, I think so.

She wasn't exactly house proud, was she?
Neither was her boyfriend.

Did her boyfriend kill her?

Why should anybody kill her?

She'd just drive herself into the lake.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Oh, looky here.

And here.

There's a whole lot of cigarettes, isn't
it?

Sure is.

A heck of a lot more than she'd ever
use.

Do you know who Julia's boyfriend was?

Well, if she did have one, he didn't
come here.

I don't know. Ain't no secrets here.

Then you know why she had all them
cartons of cigarettes in there then?

No.

I think she just liked to smoke.

Thank you, Dad.

I reckon Julia's boyfriend done her in.

You tell the cops anything?

What do I know?

Be right back.

Where you gone?

Gonna get us some smoke.

You got a double homicide here.

Double?

Oh, she was pregnant.

How pregnant?

First trimester.

And you sure this was a homicide?

I believe she was unconscious when a car
went off that dock.

She had a mass of bruises to the face.

Could this have been caused by impact?

Well, maybe, but I doubt it.

It's all right here.

And there was nothing else, like drugs
or alcohol?

Not very recently.

But there was damage to the nasal
tissue.

Cocaine.

Thanks, Doc.

Doc, suppose we had a suspect.

Could we get a DNA match from the fetus,
legally identify the father?

I believe you could.

You got a suspect?

No, not yet.

Anyway, the father may not be the
murderer. It's just an angle.

I'll send Tisha to Jackson. Get it
rolling.

Thanks, Doc.

In Sparta, the number for Madigan
Wholesalers, please.

Warehouse.

It's for you, Frank.

Who is it?

I ain't your secretary.

You? Is this Frank Cole?

Who's this?

A friend of the lady in the lake.

I don't know what the hell you're
talking about.

Oh, don't you, Mr.

Smokes?

Well, I guess the cops will.

You must be thinking of someone else.

Yeah?

Well, I'm guessing you didn't want to
keep the baby.

I'll call you when I have, and you best
be in a generous frame of mind.

How'd I do?

You've done real good.

What's up?

Ain't nothing up. Just do your work.

I don't know if I should be happy or
scared.

Be happy, Tilly.

My. Look at this.

You got the chief here. I told you I
would.

Jambalaya catfish with collards. That's
my number one item.

Sounds great to me.

Tilly, I want you to tell the chief what
you told me about him.

He's losing popularity with the women.

What am I doing wrong?

You're doing nothing wrong.

That's what's wrong.

You see, in order to be romantic and
therefore popular, you've got to do

something wrong.

But nothing big.

Like you wouldn't need to kill a man to
take his wife.

Taking his wife would be enough.

Suppose I already had a wife.

Hmm. And you couldn't take a second.

But you could creep.

That means to Philanda.

But you got to get a wife first.

You can't creep unless you got somebody
to creep on.

Now, all these women want to be the one
you're creeping on or the one you're

creeping to.

And they get mad waiting for you to pick
one up.

Thanks.

I'll have to see what I can do to get
more popular around here.

Meanwhile, I'm sorry about this.

Oh, I saw that. Well, I've come to
expect that.

Why do you think they're running us now?
Why not just wait to see if you go run

again?

I think they're trying to keep me from
running.

Well, I wonder if Madigan's not behind
this because he came by to see me today.

Yeah, tried to enlist me for the cause.

Oh, sure.

Madigan's a friend of Holly's and all of
that bunch, and this fellow that runs

that terrible newspaper.

But, Ham, I can't worry about it.

It's politics, impure, and simple.

Bill, are you going to run again?

No.

But I don't want to say anything about
it until I have to.

I don't think a lame duck sheriff is
good for the county.

No. I think it's very exciting for
certain excitable people.

Well, selfishly speaking, I really wish
you'd run again.

I don't much care for man again, and I
like workers.

Put some fire in your bellies and some
squink in your stiff.

Miss Sears a few minutes ago?

Oh, I sure did.

Good. Because you can't go wrong.

Distant Indian, too.

Thank you.

Everybody.

Y 'all don't know.

We're working through fables.

Ramirez hit and run.

Witches beginning to look like murder.

And Lawrence drowning, which always
looked like murder.

Now it appears there's going to be a
connection.

Lieutenant?

Well, we know from his wife that Ramirez
sometimes spent the night at the

warehouse when she threw him out.

What did he see that would lead someone
to kill him?

Something he wasn't supposed to see.

Like what in the middle of the night?

That's exactly when he would see
something he wasn't supposed to.

Yeah, Julie Lawrence had cigarettes all
over her trailer.

Way too many. I mean, it was ridiculous.

And most of Madigan's business is
wholesaling cigarettes.

You think she was ripping off the
Madigan warehouse?

No, hers and her boyfriend.

And who's that?

Well, seeing as how there was no
evidence of a break -in, it has to be

who works there. My guess is Frank Cole.

He's married, but everybody knows he's
fooling around.

Everybody says that, but nobody's
actually said they saw him with Miss

and I have that.

Well, no, sir, they haven't. No.

Which means we're going to have to make
this case the old -fashioned way, with

one twist.

If we can get enough on Cole to get a
search warrant, we might be able to nail

him with a DNA test.

I don't get it.

The drowned lady was pregnant.

If we can prove that Cole is the father,
we have a possible motive and an

opportunity for sure.

And can we get a warrant to get the
test?

Well, so far, no.

But we are working on that.

Afternoon, Judge.

Chief Forbes.

I guess something must have thrown my
concentration.

Guess so.

This gonna take long?

I don't think so.

I'll catch up with you, George.

Now, what's so important this couldn't
wait till tomorrow morning?

Need a search warrant, Judge.

For a blood test on one Frank Cole.

Gary Madigan's guy. I know Frank.

Yes, sir.

We think he murdered Julia Lawrence, the
woman who went into the lake.

Based on what?

Talking to him.

Certain facts.

Bottom line, Judge, a DNA test would
establish his motive positively.

Oh, one of those things, huh? You
familiar with the term dragnet?

Yes, sir.

Because a dragnet has been illegal since
1969.

Otherwise, you'd be out here testing
everybody once a week.

Now, do you got any hard evidence that
Frank Cole has committed a crime?

He got the girl pregnant.

And he killed her. And the child she was
carrying, his child.

A test will prove it.

Warren denied.

You're new here, Chief.

Hope you'll be catching on to our ways
soon.

Excuse me.

Gillespie, can we take a minute of your
time? Well, it looks like your desk

don't know you're married.

Did I say you could take my picture?

You're in a public place. You work for
the public. I work for a newspaper.

What do you want?

Your reaction to stories that Gillespie
is going to be taught.

You know, Preston, you don't report the
news. You fabricate it. Print that.

What about rumors of a ruckus on the
council?

Consider the... Consider the source. We
both know who he is.

So you're confirming trouble?

I'm confirming a breach of
confidentiality by your informant.

Well, as his wife, don't you want
Gillespie to retire?

As his wife, Preston, I have this to
say. You have been attacking a man who's

given his entire life to this community.

He's got plenty of life left.

Doesn't he want to spend some time on
himself and his new bride?

It's time for you to leave this office.

I'm going to. Get out.

Thanks for the cooperation.

Bye, Mrs.

Gillespie. Get out.

You can't call me here, okay? We don't
allow no personal calls. Give me your

number. I'll call you back.

You must think I'm really stupid.

You just want to find out where I'm at,
don't you?

Okay, you call me. Call on 555 -732 -3
in 30 minutes.

You better be there.

Jimmy, cover for me.

Sure thing, Frank.

Yeah. Here's the deal.

10 ,000, we leave Sparta, all done.

You think I just have 10 big ones lying
around?

Well, I know you can get it.

There's a phone in TJ's near the men's
room.

You be there at 11, okay?

Yeah.

Jerry, thanks for coming. You bet.

Hello, everybody.

Here, sit down, please.

Appreciate you all having me here, Mr.
Long.

I wanted a chance for my colleagues to
get to know you like I do.

Well, I'm an open book, ladies and
gentlemen.

Ask away.

Mr. Madigan, do you have any previous
law enforcement experience?

Sure do. Military police.

Now I'm three tours.

You feel that kind of experience
translates to Spalder?

If there's one thing that we know, we've
got to bring the whip down.

Got to get tough on crime. Three strikes
and you're out hell.

One strike and you're out with me.

Mr. Madigan, you have a business.

How can you run that and be sheriff?

I have a most capable staff whom I trust
completely to run my business.

Wholesale distribution isn't rocket
science.

I know his people, and they are first
rate.

Well, can you tell us something about
why you'd like to be sheriff?

Sure can, Ms. DeLong.

I've lived in this community for a long
while. I'm successful.

And I've derived great benefit from
being here in Sparta. Now I want to give

something back.

Why, Mr. Madigan, you've always had that
opportunity.

I don't recall ever seeing you at any
fundraising events or...

civic functions, until last Sunday.

Now, Harriet, I've got to object to
that. The man is here now. I mean, ain't

that good enough? Holly.

Holly, Ms. DeLonge has every right to
ask that question.

You're right.

I want to make up for that, and I think
this is the best way that I can do that.

Isn't this your first step into
politics?

Is that what this is really all about?

Mary, if you're trying to make me
cringe...

By accusing me of being political, well,
I'm going to disappoint you.

Because I am political.

I'm political through and through.

I love politics.

And if politics wants to take me to the
highest peaks of promise, I am ready to

go.

Wow. Look out, Washington.

Here he comes.

Maybe.

Why not?

Why not? It's not that far.

It's not that far in any way. Just you
take a hard look.

at that place, and tell me if you see
anybody who's that much different than

Go ahead, Harriet.

Can you, truthfully?

Mr. Madigan, that is an unfair question.

Ain't he one hell of a guy?

Hey, Jimmy.

How you doing?

I'm worried, man.

Them cops ain't stupid, you know.

What are you talking about?

I'm saying they ain't gonna stop
sniffing around here.

They don't give a damn about some
wetback.

Now, listen.

We got to deliver some smokes tonight.

I got a feeling something bad's gonna
happen. Yeah?

That maybe you gonna make some good
money?

I want you to meet me at Shady Glen 11.

I'll meet you there.

Okay? Oh, okay.

I guess.

Get back to work.

The

dark

blue towel is yours. The aquamarine one
is mine. They're both brand new.

What?

I said the dark blue towel is yours.

What? The blue?

Yes.

Well, they're both kind of blue.

The dark one is yours.

I already started using the other one.

What did you say?

Nothing.

Just get dry.

Don't walk on that polished floor with
your feet wet.

something funny.

They don't hold water.

Give them a chance. Rub harder.

The best thing for drying off is the old
-fashioned terrycloth robe, just like

this one here.

Why don't you wear that beautiful forest
green robe I bought for you?

Well, I just picked the one my eye first
fell off. You look like a beetroot just

pulled up. I told off President Donner
on your

behalf today.

Well, that was a bad idea.

No, it wasn't my idea. He came asking
for it.

Yeah, well, I don't need you to fight my
battle for me.

And I'll tell you something else.

If you make an enemy of Preston Donner,
you can kiss your political ambition

goodbye. Well, if it comes to that, I'll
kiss Sparta goodbye.

Do you want to?

No. No.

And I don't have to.

Not yet.

Maybe never.

This is my town, and I love it.

Of course, I didn't love it when living
here was a nightmare.

Holly Comer's a throwback to those days.

So is Carrie Madigan.

I can handle them.

Well, I was never very good at that
stuff.

Don't worry, I am.

But isn't that one of the reasons you
married me?

No.

Not at all.

What in the world is... made you think
that one.

Hey!

Where's your manners?

Got a lot on my mind.

Who's he with?

That is his wife.

I know it sounds corny, but she could be
his daughter.

Well, rumor has it she had something on
him and made him marry her.

How come you know so much about him,
Parker? Well, you know, you hear things

that teach haze, you know, partying and
such.

Don't tell me this is where you met your
dream lady.

Is she going to be in there?

Maybe.

Come on.

Yes, you have Snowball.

What is she?

Cat's mother. Just keep it up, Trace.
You'll see.

You got me a phone call. You stay here.

It's pretty busy.

Well, you know what it's like. I give it
six months tops.

Hey, what's your problem?

The old problem. If you don't get it.

It's cold.

Got the money?

Yeah, I got it.

What's it in?

In a brown bag.

Okay. Go out the emergency exit.

Right outside, you'll see a trash
barrel.

Trash barrel, right.

Wait until you see a motorcycle.

It'll flash its light twice.

Got it?

Yeah. Drop the bag into the trash
barrel.

Drop in the trash barrel.

Then back into TJ's fast.

What kind of dump is this? Something
that needs some smokes. Who cares?

So where is he?

Don't make no sense.

Maybe just come right out, put the money
in a split.

You open the door.

It's locked. Stand back.

What's the deal? Ain't they here?

It doesn't matter. He said he'd be a
little late.

But we ain't waiting. Open it up.

Give it a big pull.

Ain't they gonna mind you breaking in
like this? Too bad.

Go get another box.

along here.

Let's get out of here.

Police emergency.

Hello, dispatch.

Okay, an interrupted 911 at Shady Glen.

Okay, thanks.

Shady Glen, that place sure keep us
busy.

Any unit, we have an interrupted 911 at
Shady Glen. Please respond.

This is a set up.

Who is that?

Is he dead? Let's get him out of here.
What are you talking about?

Hold on this.

This one's gone.

How'd you kill him? You don't
understand.

I was set up.

What'd you kill him with, fella? I don't
know.

I didn't do it.

There he is.

Who was it?

I don't know.

Man from a guest.

Well, where the hell have you been?

No, honey, just got talking.

Give me another shooter.

They're sticking to their story. Say
they were set up.

Prince on the murder weapon, our son is.

Yeah, if it's a set up, it's a pretty
good one.

How long was Cole, I just said?

About 25 minutes.

So he could have gone on out the back.

Yeah, the exits aren't allowed.

Excuse me, Chief.

Yeah. Dr. Robb sent these personal
effects of the deceased.

Said there's something you should look
at. The light.

No.

That's too much.

Jimmy Lawrence is laughing.

Are we supposed to believe that Jimmy
killed Julia?

It'd be real nice for Cole if we did.

There's no way we can get a warrant on
him, huh?

I couldn't.

Good afternoon, Judge.

Gillespie, you're going to have to
excuse me. I just need a moment of your

I'll be just a minute.

So, what is it?

It's the matter of the search warrant
for Frank Cole.

Gillespie, I told Forbes no. I'll say
the same to you, no.

Well, but there's been another murder
since then.

Look. Even if you proved that Cole was
the father of the unborn child, you

haven't proved that he killed the
mother.

Judge, I need that warrant. Let me
remind you of something.

I appreciate your collaboration.

I think we can dispense with all the
hypocritical niceties. I would just like

you to phone it in as soon as possible.
I've got a telephone over in the car. I

have my own phone. Oh, I see.

Well, that's all right then.

I take it you got what you wanted.

Sure. I just had to remind the judge of
one or two things.

Like what?

What's it to you, missy?

Oh, nothing.

I lost a bet, though.

A bet about what?

About the warrant.

I bet someone $2 that you wouldn't get
it.

Well, your confidence in your boss is
deplorably low.

I thought Judge Sims was the one man in
Sparta that wasn't afraid of you.

But it seems like I was wrong.

I'll let that be a lesson to you.

Come on.

Is there anything you want to tell me?
No, sir.

What's this all about?

We're going to find out in a minute.

Good morning, Mr. Madigan.

Jake. What can I do for you?

We're here for Frank Cole.

What for?

Got a search warrant on you, Mr. Cole.

I ain't got nothing to hide. You can go
ahead and search. Search all you want.

Well, the warrant is on your body.

In particular, for a blood sample.

What are you talking about, blood?

We just want a couple of drops for a
test.

This ain't righteous, man.

Just plain harassment is what it is.

All right, all right, just hold on a
minute.

Chief, just because Jimmy Rodman was
crooked, got himself killed, doesn't

you cause to harass Cole.

This is the warrant, Chief.

No, man, I ain't gonna give you no
blood.

If I ain't going to give you no blood,
how do you figure you're going to get

We're going to take it, Mr. Cole.

Why?

We're going to run a DNA test to see if
your blood matches up with Julia

Lawrence's unborn baby.

It's good.

Whatever that is. That's right.

We think you're the father.

And if he was, what in the world are you
going to charge him with?

I say murder.

And I personally believe that the two of
y 'all are working a conspiracy here to

skim profits and dodge taxes.

Since when is a county sheriff a tax
auditor?

Since never, Mr. Madigan, but what we're
going to try to do is nail you for

grand theft and then let superior minds
take it where they will.

Go, Frank. Hey, hey!

Hey! Hey!

Mannigan!

Mannigan! Mannigan!

Todd, just hold on a minute now, will
you? May I have a word with my employee,

please?

Go.

Frank. Frank. Frank, listen to me. Will
you listen to me?

Now, we take care of our own.

And I'm going to call you an attorney
right away.

Yeah, I reckon you will.

I will.

Appreciate all your help, Mr. Madigan.

Yeah.

Some people are going to see this for
exactly what it is. You're coming after

coal to make me look bad.

Oh, yeah. People are going to see it
that way, sure enough.

Chief, I got a business run.

And Gillespie, I'll see you on election
day.

Which election is that going to be, Mr.
Madigan?

Well, I... I've heard that you have a
number of future elections in your mind.

Maybe even the highest in the land.

If we don't catch you first.

Excuse me, Chief. Bill.

We just got the DNA test in from
Jackson.

Positive match on Frank Cole.

No surprise there.

Would you take it directly to the DA's
office, please?

On its way.

Well, I wonder if the Sparta Herald's
gonna give us an attaboy for catching

Cole.

I'm not gonna hold my breath for it.

But maybe.

Now they get off your back, though.

Maybe the moon is made of green cheese.

I wish we could get Cole to talk about
his boss.

No, they need each other now more than
ever.

They won't turn and rat neither one.

You're going to have to work really hard
to get Cole for just one of those

murders. And that's for Madigan.

You may not get him for anything.

Well, you know he's still going to run
for sheriff. Then he's got a good chance

lest you run.

Well, I'm thinking.

You come to any conclusions?

Uh, just one.

I'm crazy.

That means you're gonna run.

The show comes to the same thing,
doesn't it?

See you later, Hampton.

Later, Bill.

You certainly are being very serious
about it. Well, if there's no mystery,

there's no surprise.

Well, I'm still getting over my other
surprise.

Oh, come on. Now, you knew very well
that if Madigan ran, I was going to have

run.

Now, look over here at your right at
this magnificent craft.

What exactly is this?

This is my new bass boat.

But what happened to this nice floating
patio boat?

No, let's not think about this anymore
because it's too slow. I haven't got

for it.

Put your mind on this over here.

You expect me to ride in this?

I expect you to drive this.

Me?

Unless you're too scared.

I am not scared. You just show me what
to do, and I'll do it.

Fine. Just step right in the boat.

Put yourself behind the wheel.

Now, over there on your right, you'll
see the ignition key, all right? Yeah.

Now, you just turn that on as if it were
a car.

You're driving a car, huh?

All right, turn on the ignition.

Okay, now, that's a drop.

Don't do anything to that until I tell
you.

All right, now, let Barney push us off.
Now, hit that drop.
