And I...

Yes, ma 'am, Miss Feimster. I got it.
Your husband's missing.

Ma 'am, how long?

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

Yes, ma 'am.

Miss Feimster, being gone for three
hours doesn't mean your husband's

And since he went to the liquor store,
there might be a whole other

Yes, ma 'am.

Yes, ma 'am.

Bye -bye.

I swear to goodness.

Chief Gillespie?

Yes, sir.

Yeah, he is.

Do I know you?

I don't know.

I gave you a ticket.

Then you know me.

Well, Mr. DeLisle.

I talked to Gillespie.

You sure can. You're under arrest, too.

Come on in.

Isn't that the man who beat up the
chief's daughter?

That's him.

Well, well.

What do you want?

I want to make a deal with the judge.

The judge ain't going to make a deal
with a bail jumper.

I was advised to jump bail.

Who did the advising?

I'm willing to drop my claim on your
daughter's land.

Even the court will drop the charges.

That's up to the DA and the judge. It's
got nothing to do with me.

It'd be the best thing for Lana Farron.

You better take him out of here.

We got a phone downstairs. You can call
your lawyer from there.

I'm representing myself.

You will call the judge soon, won't you,
Chief?

I'm in a hurry to call the judge.

I am also going to call Mr. Lewis Alvin
Epp.

You're an attorney of record.

I said I don't want a lawyer.

Well, you can tell it to him when you
see him. Come on, let's go.

You're here.

Oh, Randy, I told you I'd come.

I know.

I'm just glad you did.

Who's that from?

An admirer?

Shoot, no.

My friend Betty gave it to me.

Betty Sims?

The real estate lady?

Yeah. She's been real nice.

Well, looky here.

What luck to catch you both.

You didn't. We're just leaving.

I wanted to make sure Randy was feeling
all right.

He's going home, isn't he?

Randy, honey, tell Lana about the deal.

She's going to give me a new truck and a
big bunch of money.

That's right. I have the papers right
here.

He's not signing any papers.

I'll talk to you soon, Randy. Not
without me, Betty.

I know who you represent.

We all know.

We know all about the big money guys.

I represent legitimate businessmen.

Creeps. Real estate people. Important
investors.

They're criminals, Betty.

Don't you know I know them?

Randy.

Lana, don't be mad at me.

I'm mad at that witch.

Is she really a witch?

Well, she's not your fairy godmother.

I know.

My fairy godmother is a heron who comes
through.

A what?

A blue, whitey stork who lives in the
delta.

Come on, Raina, let's go.

Isn't that Ep Adelaide?

Yeah, and that's Ep.

Can you see what's going on in there?

I think so.

Don't tell me you're going to hire a
dummy again.

I do the best I can.

This is a small town.

You haven't got a big choice of
professional killers.

Not a burnout again.

It's a great convincer.

But by a professional this time.

Griff was a mistake.

There's far too much money involved to
drop it now. I know all about the money

which we're not going to get unless you
let me handle it my way. But they won't

sell.

Randy Calhoun, nutty as a fruitcake.

Coming around just fine.

What about the chief's daughter?

She's tough.

She'll take time.

I'd sure like to know what Gillespie's
thinking.

Well, why don't you invite him over for
tea?

Or something?

Well, that's the first good idea you've
had.

I'm not trying to make excuses, Judge.

The whole world makes excuses, sir.

Just get on with it.

I lived with Georgia Fine long enough
for her to be considered my lawful wife.

provided money, like a lawful husband.

And assaulted her daughter like a lawful
husband, eh?

No, Judge. I was out of my mind with
grief over my Georgia's death.

But I know I done wrong. That's why I
turned myself in. You're not recovering

bail. That's up to me, Mr. District
Attorney.

What I'm trying to say is that I'm
willing to give up my interests here.

This whole sorry mess could have been
avoided, you know, Gillespie.

If you had acknowledged your
responsibilities long ago, if you'd

married the child's mother, the marriage
might have been dull, but it would

have...

Been respectable.

Your daughter would have grown up in a
pleasant town.

Married a decent storekeeper.

Where was your sense of duty, man?

Nowhere in sight, Your Honor.

Ah.

Well, this man was a good -for -nothing
common -law husband.

I gave her money, Your Honor.

Bonnie gave him money.

And he loved her?

I loved her, Your Honor.

And I even tried to love the kid.

Except she always called me bad names.

She did?

Judge, with all due respect, I don't
think Gillespie's on trial here.

Gillespie?

He's on trial everywhere.

Now, does his child feel differently
about this?

Trying this man?

Yes, Judge Kelly. She feels... It's up
to you to try him or not.

I didn't want to make that decision
without asking your advice.

I see.

Want to make a deal?

Make the deal.

You have any objection?

As a law officer, Clarence?

Well, Your Honor, I... Yes or no?

No, Your Honor.

Any objection as a father?

No, Your Honor.

I have no objection.

Clarence... Clarence, bring my car
around front.

You ain't driving yourself, are you,
Judge?

I think I can manage a car better than a
lot of people around here can manage

their lives.

Au revoir.

Well, let's see what you got here.

This is it.

Yep, it's just arrived.

Oh, yeah.

So he is.

And where is he coming from now?

He was coming from his office, Chief.

That is some fancy real estate office.

Who else was in there at that time?

There's Betty Sims.

Yeah, hold it right there, Parker.

Now, what is that picture inside there
on the wall?

That's a picture of a big piece of
property.

That's the same woman, Chief.

Same woman as who?

The one that was at Epps.

You mean in the garage?

Yeah. You know, she sure didn't seem
like that guy Griff.

That's got to be it.

The mob's using southern estates to get
a hold of the land down there.

Well, they got a couple of problems on
their hands right there.

Well, where's the money in that land?

I don't know.

But then, I never knew where the money
was in anything.

This is going to take some talking.

I'm glad it's you doing it and not me.

Well, hi, how you doing?

Hi.

Fire damage isn't so bad.

Hey, Chief.

I'm pretty handy with a paintbrush, as
you can see.

Yeah, I can see that, Randy. Go ahead.

I wanted you to meet Officer Luann
Corbin. Luann, this is my daughter,

Hi. Hi.

I've been wanting to meet you, because
this man's kind of like my pop, too.

Ah, well, then we must be like sisters.

Gotta be.

So, you gonna stay here with me?

If it's okay.

That's what the chief was thinking.

How did you know what I was thinking?

Nobody has to know. Tell me what you're
thinking. It just comes to me.

The list is still in town.

They're going to drop all the charges.
The deal is that he leave here for good.

Well, that's all I wanted.

You're not scared of him?

Well, I can't be got if ever.

Come on, Randy. Show me around.

Oh, I don't know. I got a lot of work to
do here.

Randy, go on.

Okay.

You know, Pop, that group in New Orleans
aren't going to give up.

You said it yourself.

My land and Mandy's in their plans.

Yeah, but I didn't say we shouldn't try
to fight them off.

I know them better than you.

I live with them.

Mama once told me the only way we can
get rid of them would be to disappear

leave everything behind.

And then maybe, just maybe, they'd be
satisfied.

Is that what you want to do?

Well, I can't go on living life like
this.

People getting killed and shot at and
cops watching me.

I know it's tough, sugar, but what's the
alternative?

Some faraway place.

Well, that won't make it, but they're
still nervous about you.

And what will make it? You tell me.

Well, you gotta fix it so they don't
want to come near you.

What am I supposed to do? Turn myself
into a plague?

Well, I think that's right. I think
that's exactly right.

Hey, Lana, this place is great.

You gotta keep this place.

I mean, you gotta.

You over here turning yourself into a
plague.

That's what my mama said I did. How'd
you know that?

Go on and sit down. I'll make some tea.

That's the funniest game of tic -tac
-toe I've ever seen.

The X's marked the properties already
bought by Southern Estates.

Oh, I get it. I mean, and the circles of
the property, they don't have.

Well, do we know anything new?

No, they pretty much locked up the whole
area.

All except those two properties in the
middle there, along to Randy Calhoun and

Lana. Yes, sir.

You know, it kind of looks like a puzzle
with a big piece missing.

I still don't see the money. There's
nothing out there but farms and trees.

And the Winter Hatchery River.

The what?

The Winnahatchee.

I mean, there it is. Runs right down
through the middle.

Sure enough, Parker.

It runs right through Randy's and Lana's
land there.

Maybe they want to build a lumber mill
or pulp mill or something?

It could be. Maybe that river has
something to do with it. Good eye,

Won't call, Chief.

Anybody I can call back?

They want to take this one. It's Betty
Sims.

Oh.

Thank you.

Are you trying to buzz me?

I was just about to, sir. Mr. DeLis is
here.

Surprise.

Someone told me you were coming.

Anybody I know?

Someone who knows you, anyway.

I heard you strolled into the police
station.

I expected a call from you.

I'm not your client anymore.

Made myself a deal.

All by myself.

You're out.

In exchange for what?

Giving up my interest here.

Fine.

Your claim on that property wasn't too
strong.

I could have tied it up and called it.

I still can.

The boys owe me.

The boys like you to owe them.

But they don't like owing you.

I'd forget this town if I were you.

I'll forget it.

For $250 ,000.

Is that what you want me to say?

That's right.

Really? Really.

I'll make a few calls.

I'll be staying at the hottest spot of
motel.

Chief Gillespie.

Well, good morning.

I didn't know you was here.

Well, I just now got here.

Why don't you come into my office and
sit right down?

Yes, fine.

Thank you very much. You're very
welcome.

Why don't you keep the doors closed?

You left them open.

Sit yourself down there, Chief.

Yeah, sure I will.

I suppose you're wondering what on earth
I brought you here for.

No, I think I know.

Well, your daughter, sweet kid, doesn't
realize what a good offer I'm making

her. Did you make her an offer?

She wouldn't let me. She wouldn't
listen.

That's where you come in, Chief.

Would you take my offer to her?

What is it?

$150 ,000 for that little old farmer,
for that foolish fellow Randy Calhoun

saint.

Who are your clients?

They don't want that known until the
deal is made.

Why not?

I don't know, Chief.

I've done many deals in this business.
Sometimes clients just don't want to be

identified.

My daughter thinks your clients are the
mob.

Is that an accusation?

She thinks you all sent that fella out
there to try to burn her out.

I work for a legitimate real estate
agency.

You're a partner, in fact.

That's true.

Well, partner, I've got some news for
you.

You've got my daughter kind of
depressed.

She's a little bit scared.

She might now be ready to sell to you,
whether her daddy wants her to or not.

So why don't you go and ask her again?

Mr. DeLisa, I've been looking all over
for you.

This here is from the DA's office.

What is it?

Oh, it's just notice from the DA and
from us, the police, that you have our

permission to leave Sparta.

And here's a receipt for you to sign for
me. If you would, please write in your

telephone numbers for both Gulfport and
New Orleans.

I was supposed to get this the day after
tomorrow.

Not today.

Well, we kind of rushed it through for
you, figuring you might want to leave

Sparta like right now.

You wouldn't be trying to rush me, would
you?

Because there's people I got to see.

Oh, no, sir. We're just trying to make
it easy for you.

Sure.

Like you done the time you had my car
impounded.

Oh, now that was a shame.

Now, I just want you to know that being
unpleasant like that...

It is no fun at all.

And now, on behalf of the Sparta Police
Department, I'd like to tell you, have a

nice day.

Not again.

The worst thing you've done was tell me,
have a nice day.

Sorry, sir. Orders from the chief.

Wish me a bad one.

And I'll get lucky.

Okey -doke. Have a bad one.

I've never seen a man happier than when
someone was talking about you.

And who have you heard talking about me?

Oh, one time Lonnie Jameson and the
Tibbses and Harriet DeLong.

What goes on with him and her?

Officially, nothing.

How about unofficially?

And privately?

Very.

I'd say it's big time.

What are they doing?

I can't read the words on the door.

They don't look like creeps.

Yeah, watch yourself.

This isn't public land, you know.

You want me to leave?

Just tell me who you're working for.

Mississippi Power?

This is my place.

You here to increase my power or cut it
off?

They don't send me out for power work.

What do they send you out for?

Development projects.

I'm supposed to get measurements up and
down the Wenahatchee River.

Hmm.

Well.

Go ahead.

You think this has something to do with
Betty wanting to land?

Maybe the reason why they want it.

Earl, I hope we're not taking up too
much of your time. That's all right,

anytime.

Harriet tells me that you're the
architect for this Southern Estates

thing. That's right.

What is it going to look like?

Well, let me show you.

Step this way. Show off.

That looks kind of elaborate, doesn't
it?

It's pretty much the kind of development
I expected.

You know, Sparta already has two golf
courses. With this, we're going to have

four.

I only drew the sketch.

What is that space right in the middle
of it?

Lake Wenahatchee? I never heard of that.

That's because it's not there yet.

You see, we filled the lake with
Wenahatchee River and... Raise the

value ten times.

Even more.

Earl, has Mississippi Power got anything
to do with this?

You can't have a lake unless you build a
dam and control the water.

And is the power company going to build
one?

Now, that's for the legislature to say.

And if they say yes, and they will, the
power company will build it, and the

state will help them.

Earl, what is all this about?

As I say now, I only drew the plans.

Nothing out here but residence.

Well, there's Legion Park.

That's the way it's going.

Uh, Chief?

Well, good morning.

Morning, Chief.

What does he want?

He won't tell me.

Been here over half an hour.

Oh, sit down, sit down.

What can I do for you?

Our mutual friend, Carl DeLisa, I need
to locate him.

Well, he's stopping at the hottest spot,
a motel, until tomorrow, and he knows

he's not welcoming you after that.

I hope before he leaves, he pays his
legal fee.

He owes me a lot of money.

He's not at that motel I called.

Did you ask them if his car is still
there?

Of course.

And it's not.

Uh, Chief.

Excuse me.

Sweet's on for you.

Oh,

yes, Sweet, what?

We're in Legion Park. The list is
waiting on the footbridge.

Can you see him?

Yes, sir. He's in full view.

Another car just came by.

Brennan's got a video camera. We're
going to try and get some pictures.

Don't get too close to him. We want to
find out who he's waiting for.

What was that?

The whistle just got shot.

Park, I need an APB.

Yeah, go ahead, sweet. Two men, look
like a light -colored Lexus or Infiniti,

something like that, and headed south on
Legion Drive.

I got it.

Give me the chief.

I'm here, sweet. Go ahead.

The list is dead.

22 was found, and it looks like a
professional hit.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, an amazing coincidence just
occurred.

Carl DeLisa, the man you hear inquiring
about, was just found.

Found how?

I mean, where?

He's found dead.

In Legion Park.

I suppose this news comes as a deep
shock to you.

Deeply shocked.

And concerned.

Now I'll never collect a cent.

Who would want to get rid of Delisa?

I don't know.

But of course he had some dangerous
friends.

I'm told.

And what is your part in this whole land
deal?

I'm the attorney for the real estate
firm that's trying to put it together.

Nothing more.

Well, I'm glad to know personally that
you were nowhere near to listen when he

was shot dead.

So am I.

I wouldn't want to witness a thing like
that.

No, it couldn't have worked out better
for you if you planned it yourself.

See you, Chief.

Yes. Yeah. We'll see you.

So, uh, where'd this come from?

It's Doc Borden. She reported it stolen
this morning.

Yeah? Where was it found?

Out on Wild Barret Road.

Why? What's the interest?

Well, sure looks a lot like the car the
hitman drove away.

Thank you.

Hi. Hi.

I found out the State Planning
Commission has been keeping me in the

Oh?

In the dark about what?

I should have been told about this damn
months ago.

Is the legislature going to vote on it?
Next month.

Does the power company know that they
can't build a dam there unless Lana

Maybe they can build around Lana and
Randy.

No.

They need those acres if they want a
lake there.

Well, Lana might reconsider.

Sell her property.

Oh, I don't know. I just don't know.

That's not what you want, is it?

Well, I haven't got a right to say.

You know, I just want her to be happy.

Well, you have a right to be happy, too.

Yeah?

Who says?

I say.

Hi. Hey.

See you.

He's out.

Well, I guess just talk to him later.

Okay. Thanks.

I hear your house is looking great.

Well, that's nice.

So what are you going to do with
yourself now?

That's a funny idea, do with yourself.

If only you could send yourself out to
do things while you stay at home and do

other things.

Well, Sparta might be a nice place for
the both of you, you and yourself, to

to know the right people.

The right people?

Like the police?

Well, maybe not the whole force.

Mm -hmm.

Could you tell my papa I want to buy him
dinner?

Yeah, I'll tell him.

Thanks. Bye -bye. See you.

That girl's full of surprises, ain't
she? That's my soul sister.

Anything?

What about the doc's car? Is it okay?

Seems like they left it pretty much how
they found it.

Probably hit John Joy right now.

Maybe.

You want to look your car over and make
sure everything's intact?

Come on, look it over, Doc.

This might be the hit car, Chief.

You think you can tell that just by
looking at it?

Well, it's definitely the same color.
Looks like the same type of car.

And somebody went to the trouble to
remove all the prints off it.

Doesn't look like his out on a joyride
to me.

There's nothing missing, but I found
this map of Sparta.

I've never owned a map of Sparta in my
life.

Well, well.

So it was left in there by whoever took
it and was driving around and didn't

know his way around town.

And he was looking particularly for
Legion Park.

You mean this was used in that shooting?

My car's going to help you catch those
guys?

Afraid not. Not in this case.

But it does mean we're going to have to
hang on to the car for a while.

Oh, I see.

And Doc, you're probably the only man
I've spotted with the distinction of

owning a car that was used by the mob.

What's the matter with you? You've been
acting like this all day.

House is done.

Does that mean you're leaving?

Well, it's not definite.

If you sell, I'll sell.

And you don't want to, right?

No matter what the witch offers?

I got nowhere to go.

Where's my date?

You all ready?

Sure. There's a whole lot more right to
your needs tending to than an old house.

You got a daddy, Lord. Help him ain't
right in the head.

How you doing, Randy?

You ask anybody, they'll tell you.

He's always been a little shy of me. I
don't know why.

You know?

Mm -hmm.

You can be a little scary sometimes.

Oh, don't be silly. Come on, let's have
dinner.

I don't know if you're interested, but
Mr. Ebb and somebody and Betty Sims are

dining together.

He'll get here if it's only a question
of time.

So, you and Harriet DeLong.

Yeah, she'll be here any minute.

You're good friends, aren't you?

Yes, quite good friends.

Is anything going to happen?

Probably nothing more than...

What's happened already.

Mm -hmm.

Which is just about everything except a
marriage ceremony, right?

Yes, that's right.

Well, that's easy, if you want that.

Well, child, the problem is that nobody
else wants it.

Uh -huh.

And what's that got to do with you and
with her?

Everything.

Does the world tell you and her what to
do?

Our world does.

Does your world tell you to sneak around
and meet in secret?

Sure does. That's what it prefers.

Here's Harriet now.

What's your world going to say about
that?

Well, this is very different.

Hi.

Hi there.

Thank you.

I got a call from a friend at the
company.

They want my advice on the best way to
approach Lana.

They want to make an offer on the land
independent of our friends over there.

Well, it would seem a shame to sell it
now after you've done so much good work

on it.

Hmm.

I'm going back to Gulfport.

To pack the rest of my stuff.

The outside of the house looks good, but
the inside still needs a lot of work. I

may get it done.

And according to Randa Calhoun, there's
other things need tending to.

Well, well, I'm awfully glad to find you
here, Gillespie.

Oh, good evening, Judge.

How are you, sir?

Martita, this is Mr.

Long, Miss Ferran, and Mr.

Gillespie. And this is Martita Van Owen.

Now, please sit down, please.

Partners, partners.

Yes, certainly, sir.

Now, sir, I've had some remorse over my
harsh words to you.

You've been a man alone most of your
life. I've been informed of that.

Am I right?

And you haven't had the influences of
women to refine your responses, you

And when you were told that you were a
father, you know, those many years ago,

you were as silent as a wooden owl.

You didn't know what to say, did you?

Well, that's right, Judge, I didn't.

Yeah. Now you should surround yourself
with... Younger women.

Younger, younger women.

I see you've made a start.

You've become at last a sensitive,
intelligent man.

And your declining years will be your
happiest, however few

you have left.

Enchante, Mr.

Long. Miss Farron, enchante.

Judge, I...

Reservations are this way. All right.

Y 'all have a nice supper now.

Yeah. Good evening, Judge.

Good evening.

He really is a very fine judge.

Well, he's a fine judge of young women
anyway.

I regret all that. It must have been
embarrassing for y 'all.

Didn't embarrass us.

No.

He's right.

Right about what?

You've made a good start.

Oh.

Uh, wait up.
