[BRAKES SCREECH][HORN HONKS]

[HONK HONK HONK]

GLOVE MAN!

GLOVE MAN!

[HONK HONK HONK]

GLOVE MAN!

HEY! WHOO! HEY, YOU!

HAMMER HEAD!

YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU!

VIRGIL.

WHAT ARE YOU YELLING AT?

BABY, YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO'S DOWNSTAIRS.

COME ON OUT OF THERE, MAN!

[HONK HONK]

OH, NO.

YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF PORK LARD!

[HONK HONK]

SHUT UP, SHUT UP.

MATTHEW!

HEY, GLOVE MAN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN HERE?

LET'S GO FOR A RIDE.

ALL RIGHT.

WHERE'D YOU GET THIS? YOU ROB A BANK?

YOU THINK I'D TELL YOU?

HEY, SLOW DOWN!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN HERE IN SPARTA?

TAKING YOU BACK TO PHILLY.

MAN, WE AIN'T GOING--

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

LOOK AT THE TIMEPIECE.

YEAH.

YOU CAN'T AFFORD ALL THIS ON A COP'S SALARY.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, GLOVE MAN.

I'M NO LONGER A COP.

YOU'RE NOT?

YOU?

OH, MATTHEW.

YOU WERE THE BEST COP I EVER KNEW.

NOW I'M THE BEST PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR YOU EVER KNEW.

OW!

OOH, "MATTHEW POGUE. INVESTIGATIONS."

THIS IS NICE.

I STARTED DOING OFF-DUTY WORK FOR THE D.A.

YOU HEAR MY BROTHER DIED?YEAH, I HEARD.

I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.

PAULIE TOOK TOO MANY CHANCES.

A COP DOES THAT, HE GETS BLOWN AWAY.

A DRUG BUST WENT SOUR.

I HEARD YOU TOOK IT PRETTY HARD.

YOU HEARD THAT?

YEAH.

YOU SPEND NINE YEARS

BUSTING YOUR BUTT FOR THE DEPARTMENT,

AND YOU'D THINK YOU COULD COUNT ON PEOPLE.

MATTHEW, I'D LIKE TO THINK YOU CAN COUNT ON ME.

I KNOW, BUDDY. I KNOW.

WELL, NOW, ANYWAY--ANYWAY.

I WAS SO GOOD WORKING FOR THE D.A.,

I SET MYSELF UP IN BUSINESS,

AND THAT IS HOW I GOT THIS CAR,

THE WATCH, NEW WARDROBE,

AND A VACATION

TO THE LAND OF PALM TREES AND TEENY-WEENY BIKINIS!

[SIREN]

OH, NO. SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN.

WELL, YOU BOYS ARE IN A HURRY THIS MORNING, HUH?

BUBBA.

I CAN EXPLAIN.

VIRGIL, THAT AIN'T YOU.

THIS IS MATTHEW POGUE.

HE WAS MY PARTNER IN PHILADELPHIA FOR SIX YEARS.

HE'S A RESPECTED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.

YEAH, WELL...

YOU FELLAS WATCH THE SPEEDING, HUH?

WE HEARD THERE WAS A COUPLE OF TEENAGERS

HOT-RODDING AROUND.

YEAH.

YEAH.

YEAH.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN BUBBA'S FACE WHEN HE RECOGNIZED ME.

HE GOES, "VIRGIL, THAT AIN'T YOU."

HE THOUGHT WE WERE TEENAGERS.

HE WASN'T TOO FAR OFF THE MARK.

OH, ALTHEA.

I KNOW BENEATH THAT EXTERIOR

THERE'S THIS WANTON, CRAZY WOMAN

WHO LUSTS AFTER ME.

STOP IT.

I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

I'M THE BETTER MAN,

BUT YOU HAVE WON YOURSELF THE GRAND PRIZE WITH THIS WOMAN.

OH, I KNOW.

EXCUSE ME.

THIS IS MATTHEW POGUE.

WE WORKED TOGETHER FOR SIX YEARS.

MATTHEW POGUE, CHIEF GILLESPIE.

HOW YOU DOING?

AND THIS IS JAMISON, PARKER, SWEET.

OH. YOU REMEMBER BUBBA.

YEAH. BUBBA.

Y'ALL WERE ON THE FORCE TOGETHER?

YEAH. I SAVED HIS ASS A FEW TIMES.

SAVED ME FOR YOU.

THAT CROSSED MY MIND, VIRGIL.

HE ONLY SAVED ME BECAUSE HE GOT ME INTO THE MESS.

I WAS THE HAMMER, HE WAS THE GLOVE MAN,

SMOOTH AS A BABY'S BOTTOM.

I WAS MORE LIKE DIAPER RASH.

GOOD MORNING.

LOOKING FOR CHIEF JILLESPIE.

WELL, YOU FOUND HIM. HOW ARE YOU?

YOU MUST BE McGRAW.THAT'S RIGHT.

BY THE WAY, IT'S GILLESPIE,

LIKE IN GIMME OR GIVE.

YEAH, WELL, IT'S GOOD TO KNOW YOU.

YOU GOT SOMEPLACE WE CAN TALK A WHILE?

YEAH. IN MY OFFICE.

VIRGIL, YOU MIGHT LIKE TO JOIN US.

I'LL CATCH YOU LATER.

YEAH. TAKE YOUR TIME.

WHO ARE THOSE GUYS?

FEDS.

HOW CAN YOU TELL?

YOU KIDDING? THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE WEARING SIGNS.

WE GOT THE WITNESS SEQUESTERED FOR NOW,

STASHED IN A FARMHOUSE

ON THE ROAD TO MARSHALL CITY.

I KNOW THE PLACE.

IT'S THAT FBI THING.

THEY WANT US TO HELP SECURE A WITNESS.

WE'RE ASKING THAT YOUR BOYS WATCH THE PERIMETER.

WE'LL BE INSIDE

HOW LONG DO YOU WANT US

TO GIVE YOU THIS COOPERATION AND SUPPORT?

TRIAL'S IN TWO WEEKS.

WE'D LIKE TO KEEP HIM ALIVE TILL THEN.

HE'S LIKE THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ORGANIZED CRIME.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HE DOING IN SPARTA?

STAYING ALIVE, I GUESS.

HIS COVER IN NEW ORLEANS GOT BLOWN.

THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE HITS ON HIM ALREADY.

WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I THINK,

YOU'RE IN THE WRONG TOWN.

YEAH? WELL, HOW'S THAT?

SPARTA'S SO SMALL, YOU SHOULD GO TO BRADLEYVILLE.

IT'S A COUNTY SEAT.

NOW, I KNOW THAT,

BUT THIS TOWN'S NEAR THE INTERSTATE,

IT'S GOT A SMALL AIRSTRIP,

AND IT'S NEVER BEEN USED BEFORE. IT'S PERFECT.

BUT I DON'T SEE HOW WE CAN HELP YOU.

CHIEF.

EXCUSE ME.

I'M JUST REMINDING YOU

THAT LEROY AND MARSHALL GOT BACK FROM VACATION THIS WEEK,

AND NO ONE'S SCHEDULED OUT.

I THINK WE CAN HANDLE IT.

YOU DO?I THINK WE SHOULD.

AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS.

A JOINT OPERATION WITH A FEDERAL AGENCY.

IT'LL BE GOOD FOR THE MEN.

YOU THINK SO, HUH?

DEFINITELY.

AND A CHANCE LIKE THIS

MIGHT NOT COME ALONG AGAIN.

HMM.

WELL, NOW, MR. McGRAW,

MY CHIEF OF DETECTIVES HERE,

HE'S OF THE OPINION

THAT ALL MY OFFICERS ARE SIMPLE COUNTRY BOYS--

I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

AND HE THINKS THEY'D BENEFIT FROM CITY EXPERIENCE,

SO I'LL PUT A CAR ON THE ROAD

AND ANOTHER ONE BEHIND.

WE'LL TRY TO KEEP IT UP.

THANK YOU, CHIEF JILLESPIE.

I'M PROUD TO BE DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU.

I'LL LEAVE WALT AND HENRY TO LIASE WITH YOUR BOYS.

COME ON.

THEY STEP OUT OF LINE, LET ME KNOW, HEAR?

HE'S GOING TO LEAVE THEM HERE FOR WHAT?

LIAISONS. FBI.

OH.

I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU THE REST OF THE DAY OFF

TO VISIT WITH YOUR FRIEND,

BUT YOU BETTER HANG AROUND,

FIGURE OUT THE LINEUP

FOR GETTING INTO THIS G-MAN GAME.

YEAH, ME TOO.

I CAN SEE MATTHEW TONIGHT.

IN FACT,

YOU KNOW THAT DINNER BET ON THE OL' MISS-LSU GAME?

I WON IT, BUT I HAVEN'T TASTED IT.

HOW ABOUT TONIGHT?

FINE.

PARKER.

WHY DON'T YOU FIND SOMEBODY YOU CAN LIASE WITH?

YES, SIR.

COME ON. GIVE ME THE SCORE.

MM! MMM!

THAT'S INCREDIBLE.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING

TOPPED BY CHOCOLATE CHIPS.

THAT'S MY BABY'S SPECIALTY.

I CALL IT CHOCOLATE DEATH.

WHAT A WAY TO GO.

YOU LIKE IT, CHIEF GILLESPIE?

NO, BUT I READ SOMEWHERE THAT CHOCOLATE'S GOOD FOR CHOLESTEROL,

SO I BETTER HAVE ANOTHER PIECE.

WHICH REMINDS ME

OF WHEN WE STAKED OUT THIS CANDY STORE.

REMEMBER THAT, GLOVE MAN?

HAVE MERCY, MATTHEW, PLEASE.

ACCORDING TO VIRGIL, CHIEF,

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A DRUG DROP

IN THIS BIG CANDY STORE.

HE'D BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR THREE MONTHS.

WE'D BEEN HUNKERING SIX HOURS

WHEN THIS TRUCK PULLS INTO THE ALLEY.

OUT COMES THE CROOKS.

SEVEN OF US HIT THEM AND THE RIG,

AND WHAT DO WE CAPTURE?

500 POUNDS OF COCOA POWDER.

OH, THANKS, JOANNE.

HEY, IT'S THE LEAST I CAN DO.

THAT WAS A FABULOUS DINNER.

YOU FEELING O.K.?

SURE.

YOU SEEMED A LITTLE...

YOU UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING?

NO, I JUST...

GUESS IT'S HAVING MATTHEW AROUND THE HOUSE.

THEY GET TO TELLING THOSE OLD WAR STORIES.

YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HEARD THOSE?

I BET.

THEN I START TO FEEL GUILTY

BECAUSE HE'S VIRGIL'S FRIEND.

VIRGIL THINKS HE'S SO WONDERFUL.

THEN ANOTHER INCIDENT FROM THE PAST COMES UP.

SOMETHING THAT THEY SHARED TOGETHER.

GOD, I JUST WANT TO SCREAM.

YOU DON'T LIKE MATTHEW?

MATTHEW'S A WONDERFUL GUY.

HE'S VERY SMART, VERY FUNNY.

WHY WOULDN'T I LIKE MATTHEW?

[DISH CLATTERS]

I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST KNOW YOU DON'T.

HE'S IN LOVE WITH ME.

I DATED HIM A LONG TIME AGO.

THEN I MET VIRGIL, AND THAT WAS THAT.

MATTHEW WAS TERRIFIC ABOUT IT,

BUT I DON'T THINK HE'S EVER GOTTEN OVER IT.

WELL, HONEY, THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO,

YOU KNOW?

MAYBE YOU'RE MAKING TOO MUCH OF IT.

THAT'S WHAT I USED TO THINK.

BUT THERE WAS THIS ONE NIGHT...

NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY.

WE HAD ALL GONE.

MATTHEW HAD A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH TO DRINK.

HE CORNERED ME IN A ROOM.

I HAD TO HIT HIM WITH A PAPERWEIGHT TO GET HIM OFF ME.

OH, WOW.

DID YOU TELL VIRGIL?

NO.

THAT'S THE AWFUL PART.

IT WAS ONE INCIDENT.

HE AND VIRGIL ARE CLOSE FRIENDS.

YEAH, WELL, HEY, HONEY,

I THINK YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

I WOULDN'T HAVE MENTIONED IT EITHER.

THEN IT WAS A SECRET.

THEN IT TURNED INTO A LIE.

AND NOW HERE HE IS, AND I JUST WANT HIM OUT OF HERE.

MATTHEW O.K.?

HE SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE GETTING TO SLEEP.

IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY.

YEAH, TOO LONG.

ALTHEA...

IS IT ALWAYS GOING TO BE THIS WAY WITH MATT?

BABY, I'VE ACCEPTED THE FACT

THAT YOU AND HE WERE ONCE LOVERS.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME,

YOU HAVE GOT TO ACCEPT THE FACT

THAT WE ARE NOW FRIENDS.

WE WERE ONCE PARTNERS.

I WASN'T THERE FOR HIM

WHEN HIS BROTHER GOT KILLED.

HE TOOK IT REALLY HARD.

THE DEPARTMENT PUT HIM ON A STRESS-RELATED LEAVE.

SO I JUST WANT THIS VISIT TO BE...

COMFORTABLE FOR HIM.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR BOYS WERE THERE? WHO ARE THEY?

WHY AREN'T THEY HERE?

WELL, MR. McGRAW,

I SENT THEM BACK TO THE STATION

TO FILE A REPORT.

THERE'S TIME TO FILE REPORTS.

I WANT TO ASK THEM SOME QUESTIONS.

YOU'LL GET YOUR CHANCE TO ASK HIM QUESTIONS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

MEANTIME, I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE YOU WERE

WHILE ALL THIS WAS GOING DOWN.

I WENT OUT FOR SANDWICHES.

THE BOYS WERE HUNGRY, SO I...

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I DON'T WANT THESE YOKELS

CLIMBING ALL OVER THIS CRIME SCENE.

I'M BRINGING MY MEN.

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING.

THIS IS OUR INVESTIGATION.

YOU NEED SOMEBODY TO HELP YOU

BECAUSE THERE ARE THREE MEN DEAD.

I WONDER WHAT THEY WERE DOING

WHEN THAT SHOOTER GOT IN.

THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO DO MUCH TO DISCOURAGE HIM.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN FIRE THEIR WEAPONS.

THEY MADE THEIR MISTAKE THINKING THEY HAD PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT

OUT ON THE RIM.

I'M FILING REPORTS ON YOU WITH EVERY DEPARTMENT I CAN FIND,

INCLUDING THE SANITATION DEPARTMENT.

I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IN MISSISSIPPI

KNOWS WHAT TURKEYS YOU GUYS REALLY ARE.

OOH, MAN.

[KETTLE WHISTLES]

VIRGIL?

VIRGIL, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE HOME ALREADY--

NO, BUT I'M HERE.

WANT SOME TEA?

NO, THANKS.

I THOUGHT VIRGIL HAD COME HOME.

WHERE'D HE GO, ANYWAY?

I WOKE UP WHEN HE TORE OUT OF HERE.

I DON'T KNOW. SOME SHOOTING.

HOW CAN YOU WAKE UP SO EARLY IN THE MORNING

AND STILL BE SO BEAUTIFUL?

I THINK I'LL BE GOING.

ALTHEA, PLEASE.

DON'T KEEP RUNNING AWAY FROM ME.

MATTHEW--PLEASE TALK.

I WON'T TOUCH YOU OR HURT YOU.

PLEASE TALK TO ME.

WE NEVER TALKED AFTER THAT PARTY.

I WANTED TO,

BUT YOU WOULDN'T RETURN MY CALLS.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO SAY.

NO?

BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN AS CLOSE AS WE WERE?

LEMON TEA.

DO YOU KNOW I STILL CAN'T SMELL LEMON TEA WITHOUT THINKING OF YOU.

OH, ALTHEA, I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THAT NIGHT.

I'D BEEN DRINKING. I LOST CONTROL.

WHEN I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING, I WANTED TO CUT MY HANDS OFF.

SAVE IT MATTHEW.

I KNOW ALL YOUR ROUTINES, REMEMBER?

THIS IS NUMBER 7A--

SINCERITY WITH A TOUCH OF PATHOS.

WHY HOLD ON TO THIS GRUDGE?

I WAS DRUNK THAT NIGHT,

I'M APOLOGIZING. WHAT MORE CAN I DO?

JUST FORGET IT, MATTHEW!

I DID.

I DON'T GET IT!

YOU HOLD ON TO THIS ONE NIGHT, AS IF IT'S ALL THAT MATTERED.

WHAT ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT WENT BEFORE?

DIDN'T WE MEAN ANYTHING TO EACH OTHER?

ALTHEA, I LOVED YOU.

DIDN'T YOU LOVE ME?

OR WERE YOU JUST FAKING IT?

I LOVED YOU LIKE A CRAZY WOMAN,

LIKE DRIVING TOO FAST. I WAS ADDICTED.

YOU WERE DANGER, AND THAT WAS EXCITING.

I COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOU.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I GREW UP.

I MET VIRGIL.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED EXACTLY.

ALL I KNOW IS I DIDN'T NEED YOUR KIND OF DANGER ANYMORE.

ARE YOU SURE?

I THINK YOU PROTEST TOO MUCH.

I THINK THE REASON YOU DON'T WANT ME AROUND

IS BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID OF THE FEELINGS YOU GET.

IT SCARES YOU, BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL THERE.

WOW.

THANK YOU, DR. POGUE.

I'M SURE YOUR INSIGHTS ARE VERY INTERESTING TO SOME, BUT NOT TO ME.

GEE, IT'S BEEN NICE HAVING YOU HERE.

IT'S TOO BAD YOU'LL HAVE TO MOVE ON THIS MORNING.

GOTCHA!

YOU BRING MY LUNCH BACK, YOU HEAR?

I'LL TELL MY DADDY!

CHOCOLATE CHIP.

WOW, A GUN.

DON'T TOUCH IT.

MY DADDY TOLD ME NEVER TO TOUCH A GUN.

YOU PICK UP MY LUNCH AND GO GET MY BOOKS.

ALTHEA! HEY, BABE.

IN HERE!

HEY, HEY, HEY!

HEY, HEY, HEY!

HI. JUST IN TIME FOR SOME OATMEAL.

CAN YOU LACE IT WITH CAFFEINE?

I'LL GET YOU SOME. TAKE A SEAT, MAN.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT WENT DOWN LAST NIGHT?

A SHOOTING.

BAD ONE.

TWO FEDERAL AGENTS AND A WITNESS THEY WERE PROTECTING.

ANY LEADS?

NO LEADS, BUT THE MAN WAS A PRO.

EXECUTION STYLE KILLINGS WITH A .22.

HE GOT PAST EVERYBODY.

HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING.

HEALTH IN A BOWL.

WHO'S HANDLING THE INVESTIGATION?

SOME FEDS, BUT SO ARE WE.

WE'LL STAY ON IT.

HOW'S YOUR FORENSIC INVESTIGATORS?

YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

I WISH I WERE.

THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE AT THE CRIME SCENE.

WE GOT SOME GOOD OFFICERS,

BUT THEY'RE NOT THAT EXPERIENCED.

HEY...

WHAT?

I JUST HAD A GREAT IDEA.

INSTEAD OF GOING TO LOS ANGELES,

I'LL HELP WITH THE INVESTIGATION.

NO.

IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO...

THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON VACATION.

AND I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE DOING POLICE WORK.

IT'S A CHANCE TO WORK TOGETHER AGAIN.

WHO NEEDS PALM TREES? WE'LL HAVE A BALL.

YOU REALLY MEAN IT?

YES! WE'LL SHOW THE FEDS HOW IT'S DONE.

THE HAMMER AND THE GLOVE MAN STRIKE AGAIN!

ALL RIGHT!

BABY, IT'S JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.

ISN'T THAT GREAT?

ME AND MATT!

JILLESPIE, I'M TELLING YOU...

JUST A MINUTE, MR. McGRAW.

LET ME TALK TO MY OWN MEN.

IF YOU PLEASE.

LEROY, WHERE EXACTLY WERE YOU PATROLLING?

LIKE I SAID, CHIEF,

WE WERE ALL ABOUT A MILE FROM THE HOUSE.

RIGHT WHERE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE.

WHICH ONE WAS EATING, SLEEPING, OR DRINKING?

WE WERE DOING OUR JOB.

YOU DIDN'T HEAR NOTHING OR SEE NOTHING PECULIAR?

NOTHING EXCEPT WHAT WE'RE HEARING RIGHT NOW.

MARSHALL, THAT'LL BE ENOUGH OF THAT.

WE WERE WIDE AWAKE, AND THAT'S THE TRUTH.

WE BOTH KNOW THAT,

BUT SPELL IT OUT FOR MR. McGRAW.

EXPLAIN ABOUT BRADFORD WOODS.

WELL, YES SIR,

BRADFORD WOODS RUNS BEHIND THE FARM.

FROM ALL THE WAY OUT TO COUNTY ROAD JAIL,

ME AND MARSHALL CRISSCROSSED IT ON OUR ROUNDS,

BUT IT'S POSSIBLE SOMEBODY COULD HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL SOMEBODY BEFORE YOU WENT ON PATROL?

WE DID.

WE TOLD THE AGENTS IN THE HOUSE.

THEY DIDN'T SEEM TOO WORRIED.

THEY WERE KIND OF BUSY READING.

ALL RIGHT, MEN, THANK YOU.

GO OFF DUTY AND GET SOME REST.

YES, SIR.

I WANT THOSE FORENSIC PEOPLE

TO GO OVER EVERY INCH OF THAT SITE,

AND I DON'T WANT NOBODY GETTING IN THEIR WAY!

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

DAMN KIDS.

THEIR PARENTS DON'T TEACH THEM RIGHT FROM WRONG.

THAT CAR DISAPPEARED BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 5 A.M.?

IT DIDN'T DISAPPEAR.

IT JUST TOOK A LITTLE JOY RIDE.

IT'S RIGHT BACK AT MY HOUSE

WITH THE IGNITION POPPED OUT.

WHO'LL PAY FOR THAT?

MY INSURANCE IS $250 DEDUCTIBLE.

I'LL GET STUCK WITH THE WHOLE DAMN THING!

A POPPED IGNITION DON'T SOUND LIKE KIDS.

I DON'T CARE WHO IT IS,

I WANT THEM CAUGHT!

CHIEF, I JUST SAW McGRAW.

HE WAS LOOKING PRETTY STEAMED UP.

OH, YEAH, WELL,

YOU GOT TO MAKE ALLOWANCES FOR HIM.

HE NOT ONLY LOST HIS WITNESS,

BUT HE LOST TWO OF HIS OWN MEN,

TWO VERY NICE YOUNG FELLAS.

HE'S HURTING INSIDE. HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO SHOW IT.

SO INSTEAD, HE GETS MAD.

SNAPS AND GROWLS.

THAT'S McGRAW.

YOU KNOW HIM?BY HIS REPUTATION--

HE WORKS NEW YORK, BOSTON.

WHAT IS HIS REPUTATION?

HE'S A GOOD AGENT.

TOUGH, SHREWD, NOBODY TO MESS WITH.

ANGRY MAN. CARRIES GRUDGES.

MATTHEW'S WILLING TO POSTPONE HIS VACATION

AND HELP US OUT WITH THIS INVESTIGATION.

WELL, MORE BIG-CITY HELP, HUH?

WE WANT TO VISIT THE CRIME SCENE.

WELL, NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

MR. McGRAW, HE'S A BIG-CITY MAN, TOO.

HE WON'T WANT ANY HELP FROM Y'ALL.

THE FARMHOUSE IS OUR JURISDICTION.

BY ABOUT A BULLFROG'S LEAP.

IT'S AS MUCH YOUR CRIME SCENE AS HIS.

IT'S MORE YOUR CRIME SCENE.

THAN IT IS MINE.

YOU GOT US INTO THIS.

NOW THAT WE'RE IN IT,

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO COME OUT LOOKING GOOD?

THE HAMMER AND GLOVE MAN CAN PUT THE SPARTA P.D.

INTO A FULL-COURT PRESS.

WELL...

IT'S KIND OF UNUSUAL,

BUT THEN YOU'RE WILLING TO GIVE UP YOUR VACATION,

AND IT PLEASES YOU, VIRGIL, WHY SURE.

SURE ENOUGH. COME ON, LET'S GO.

PARKER!

SWEET! JAMISON!

WE'RE GOING OUT TO THE COUNTRY.

I GOT TO GO, HONEY.

HEY, CHIEF,

WHAT ABOUT ME?

YOU'RE OUR DUTY OFFICER TODAY.

YES, SIR, BUT--

ISN'T HERE WHERE YOU BELONG?

EXCUSE ME.

MY DAUGHTER FOUND THIS ON HER WAY TO SCHOOL.

YEAH?

YOU GUYS, COME HERE.

THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF FOOTPRINTS AROUND THAT SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

PARKER, OVER THERE, THERE'S BEER CANS, CIGARETTE BUTTS.

THEY LOOK PRETTY NEW, LIKE THEY WAS FLUNG OUT YESTERDAY.

WE GOTTA MATCH ALL THAT EVIDENCE THAT WE CAN FIND.

PERSONAL STUFF, HAIR FIBERS FROM THE PEOPLE THAT WE KNEW WERE HERE.

YOU GOT YOUR CAMERA?YES, SIR.

TAKE PICTURES OF THOSE FOOTPRINTS.

YOU WANT ME TO GO RIGHT AHEAD AND MAKE SOME PLASTER CASTS?

ASK VIRGIL ABOUT THAT FIRST.

SWEET, YOU SEE THAT LITTLE OLD ROAD COMING THROUGH BRADFORD FOREST?

CHECK THAT. BECAUSE IF THE SHOOTER DIDN'T GET IN THAT WAY,

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE GOT IN.YOU GOT IT, CHIEF, SIR.

LOOKS LIKE HE WORE HIKING BOOTS.

SEE THAT RIGGED SOLE?

MUST BE A THOUSAND PAIRS LIKE THAT IN SPARTA ALONE.

LOOK THERE.

THERE'S A NICK IN THE CLEAT.

THAT MIGHT MAKE A MATCH.

YEAH...

GET ME THE CASTING POWDER.

O.K.

JAMISON!

AH, YEAH. GOOD, THANKS.

UH, GLOVE MAN,

GO INSIDE AND MAKE SURE

THOSE FEDS AREN'T SCREWING THINGS UP.

RIGHT.

OH, GOOD. PICTURES.

YEAH, THERE WE GO.

ALTHEA.

OH. HI, MARGE.

YOU'RE HERE AWFULLY LATE, AREN'T YOU?

THE GIRLS' JV BASKETBALL TEAM WORKED OUT TODAY.

THAT FINISHED AN HOUR AGO.

TRUTHFULLY, I'M PUTTING OFF GOING HOME.

REALLY?

I HEAR TELL YOU HAVE A HOUSE GUEST.

MM-HMM.

I KNOW JUST HOW YOU FEEL.

WHEN JOHN GETS VISITS FROM HIS KOREAN WAR CRONIES,

I USUALLY DEVELOP AN EMERGENCY

AT MY SISTER'S HOUSE IN BILOXI.

HONESTLY, HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED

THEY TELL THE SAME STORIES

OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

I CAN REPEAT THEM VERBATIM.

THEY NEVER TIRE OF TELLING THEM.

GROWN MEN.

ANYWAY, I HAD SOME PAPERWORK TO DO.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO HOME

AND HAVE TO ENTERTAIN HIM,

WITHOUT VIRGIL BEING THERE.

OH, I KNOW.

I'M SURE VIRGIL'S FRIENDS WOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS,

BUT ONCE, ONE OF JOHN'S PALS

SNUCK OUTSIDE MY BEDROOM WINDOW

SO HE COULD WATCH ME UNDRESSING.

OF COURSE,

THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

NO, VIRGIL'S FRIEND WOULDN'T DO THAT.

DON'T WORK TOO HARD.THANKS, MARGE.

THERE'S NOT MUCH DOUBT WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

HE'S A PRO. NO PRINTS.

NO USABLE FOOTCASTS.

THE GUN THE CHILDREN FOUND

MATCHES BULLETS ON THE SCENE.

AN UNTRACEABLE .22.

NO WAY TO LINK IT TO ANYBODY.

HE'S SLICKER THAN DEER GUTS ON A DOORKNOB.

PROBABLY A THOUSAND MILES FROM HERE BY NOW.

I'VE DONE ALL I CAN.

CHIEF, I'VE ENJOYED IT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

MATTHEW, I'M GOING TO HANG AROUND HERE FOR A WHILE.

GO HOME.

TELL ALTHEA TO TAKE SOME STEAKS OUT OF THE FREEZER.

STEAKS?

YOU STILL EATING THAT DEAD RED MEAT?

SEE YOU LATER.

CHIEF, LOOK AT THESE PICTURES?YEAH.

WELL, JILLESPIE, I GOT TO HAND IT TO YOU.

THEM BOYS OF YOURS WASN'T HALF BAD.

NOT AT ALL.

WELL, THANK YOU, McGRAW.

I WANT TO SAY I'M SORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING,

ESPECIALLY ABOUT YOU LOSING THOSE TWO MEN.

I KNOW THAT'S ROUGH.

YEAH. SOME'S ROUGHER THAN OTHERS.

HENRY... ME AND HIM WORKED ABOUT FIVE YEARS TOGETHER.

HE WAS A GOOD ONE.

I GUESS I NEED A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.

YOU GET THAT EVIDENCE TAGGED,

WE'LL GET IT TO THE WASHINGTON CRIME LAB.

OUGHT TO BE READY TOMORROW.

GOOD NIGHT.GOOD NIGHT.

WELL, VIRGIL...

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE NOWHERE?

McGRAW.

THIS IS FOR MY BROTHER PAULIE.

PAULIE?

IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY. I'M GETTING SOME SLEEP.

I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME.

I WILL.

I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THESE CASTS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

ONE OF THE FOOTPRINTS WE SAW

HAD A DEFINITE WEAR MARK ON ONE OF THE CLEATS.

DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE PHOTOGRAPH OR THE CAST.

MAYBE IT WAS TOO FAINT TO COME OUT.

NO, I WOULDN'T THINK SO.

CHIEF, THERE'S BEEN ANOTHER SHOOTING.

OVER AT THE RIVERVIEW MOTEL.

IT'S FEDERAL AGENT McGRAW.

McGRAW?

VIRGIL?

[THREE TIMES A LADY PLAYS]

HELLO, ALTHEA.

DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?

IT'S YOUR FAVORITE.

USED TO BE.

YOU HAVE A GOOD MEMORY.

MAY I POUR YOU A GLASS?

NO, THANK YOU.

WHERE'S VIRGIL?

STILL WORKING. HE'LL BE HOME SOON.

SAID TO TAKE SOME STEAKS OUT.

IS THIS SOME KIND OF CELEBRATION OR SOMETHING?

YES, MY DARLING ALTHEA, IT IS.

IT'S A CELEBRATION OF YOUR RETURNING TO PHILADELPHIA

AND VIRGIL BECOMING MY NEW PARTNER.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

VIRGIL WOULD NEVER LEAVE SPARTA.

BUT HE IS.

HE'LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT LATER.

YOU'RE LYING.

I THOUGHT YOU'D BE ECSTATIC.

DON'T YOU MISS THE CITY?

I THINK I'LL TAKE THOSE STEAKS OUT.

ALL DONE.

ALL DONE.

NOW...

WOULD YOU GRANT ME ONE WISH

BEFORE I LEAVE TOMORROW MORNING?

WHAT'S THAT?

ONE LAST DANCE.

FOR OLD TIME'S SAKES.

I DON'T THINK SO.YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

MATTHEW, DON'T.

YOU ARE GOING TO DANCE...

WITH ME.

STOP...

ARGUING.

♪ TO TOUCH YOU

♪ TO HOLD YOU

♪ TO FEEL YOU

♪ TO MISS YOU

♪ THERE'S NOTHING TO KEEP US APART ♪

THAT'S THE SAME FOOTPRINT AT THE FARM.

WHOEVER SHOT THOSE MEN, SHOT McGRAW. LOOK AT THE NICK.

OUR KILLER'S STILL IN TOWN.

YEAH, BUT WHY McGRAW?

THE KILLER GOT WHAT HE WANTED

WHEN HE SHOT THE WITNESS.

IT WASN'T LIKE McGRAW WAS CLOSING IN.

FAR FROM IT.

WE WERE AT A DEAD END.

THAT MAKES ME THINK

THE KILLER WASN'T AFTER THE WITNESS.

HE WAS ALWAYS AFTER McGRAW?

McGRAW WASN'T THERE.

HE WENT OUT FOR SANDWICHES FOR THE MEN.

WHEN THE KILLER CAME IN, HE MISSED McGRAW.

ONCE INSIDE, HE WAS COMMITTED.

HE HAD TO KILL THEM TO COVER HIMSELF.

VIRGIL, WHERE'S YOUR FRIEND?

FROM PHILADELPHIA.

WHY DO YOU ASK?

THIS MAY NOT MEAN NOTHING,

BUT THOSE FINGERPRINT PHOTOS FROM THE FARMHOUSE...

YES.

SMUDGES WERE MADE BY RUBBER GLOVES.

THE PRINTS FROM MR. BAILEY'S STOLEN CAR...SAME SMUDGES.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

SOMEBODY KNEW HOW TO POP THAT IGNITION.

AND VIRGIL, BAILEY'S HOUSE IS ABOUT A BLOCK FROM YOURS.

YOU SUPPOSE MATTHEW RUBBED OUT THAT CLEAT MARK,

THE ONE THAT DIDN'T SHOW IN THE CAST,

OR IS MY IMAGINATION RUNNING AWAY FROM ME?

MATTHEW?

WHERE IS HE?

♪ THREE TIMES A LADY

♪ I LOVE--

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

I'M GOING TO ANSWER THE PHONE.

HELLO.

THEA, IT'S ME.

I WANT YOU TO ACT VERY NATURAL.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

HI, VIRGIL.

WHAT TIME YOU COMING HOME?

IF MATTHEW IS THERE, DON'T SAY HIS NAME.

JUST TELL ME WHAT WE'RE HAVING FOR DINNER.

THE STEAKS ARE THAWING NOW, HONEY.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WANTED STEAKS.

WHEN WE HANG UP,

TELL MATTHEW THAT YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE STORE

FOR A SPECIAL BOTTLE OF WINE FOR DINNER.

BE VERY CASUAL.

I WANT YOU TO GET OUT OF THAT HOUSE IMMEDIATELY.

GO DIRECTLY TO THE STATION. UNDERSTAND?

OH! YOU WANT THAT FRENCH WINE?

VIRGIL, HAVEN'T I CONVINCED YOU THAT CALIFORNIA WINES ARE BETTER?

GOOD, BABE.

GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

GO TO THE STATION. IS THAT CLEAR?

O.K., VIRGIL. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

UH-HUH.

WELL...

THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE IN SPARTA

WHERE YOU CAN GET FRENCH WINE, BUT--

HE KNOWS, DOESN'T HE?

KNOWS WHAT?

THAT I'VE KILLED FOUR MEN SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.

OH, GOD.

ALL BUT ONE WERE INNOCENT.

I FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT, BUT...

THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD'VE FOUGHT IT, BABY.

MATTHEW, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

THANK YOU.

I'LL KEEP THAT MEMORY.

GET OUT OF HERE, ALTHEA, QUICKLY.

I DON'T WANT YOU HURT.

I LOVE YOU.

DON'T EVER FORGET THAT.

OH, MATTHEW.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, GET OUT BEFORE I CAN'T STAND IT

AND KEEP YOU HERE WITH ME.

UNDERSTAND? GO, GO.

[DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING]

WATCH IT, MAN. WATCH IT!

I GOT HIM!

[SIREN]

DAMN! LOOK OUT!

GLOVE MAN! I GOT HIM!

SON OF A BITCH!

I GOT HIM! I GOT HIM!

GET HIM!

[INDISTINCT]

[GUNSHOT]

[VOICES HOLLERING]

[GUNSHOTS]

[SIRENS]

[GUNSHOT]

GLOVE MAN!

HAMMER HEAD!

MATTHEW?

HEY, MAN.

ALTHEA HERE?

I SENT HER OUT.

IT'S ALL OVER, ISN'T IT?

"FOR GOD'S SAKE, LET US SIT UPON THE GROUND

"AND TELL SAD STORIES

OF THE DEATHS OF KINGS."

WHY DID YOU DO IT, MATT?

McGRAW KILLED PAULIE.

HE WAS DIRTY, VIRGIL.

HE SET PAULIE UP AND BLEW HIM AWAY

BECAUSE PAULIE WAS ABOUT TO BLOW THE WHISTLE ON HIS WHOLE OPERATION.

WHAT WAS HE INTO?DOPE MONEY.

RIPPING OFF DEALERS.

NICE WORK, IF YOU CAN GET IT, HUH?

YOU FOLLOWED McGRAW WAY DOWN HERE?

OH, MAN. I FOLLOWED HIM FOR SIX MONTHS TO HELL AND BACK.

HE NEVER EVEN KNEW IT.

I JUST SAT BACK AND WATCHED HIM OPERATE,

BUT THIS TIME, THE WHOLE DEAL SET UP RIGHT.

I FIGURED THAT EVERYONE WOULD THINK

IT WAS A HIT ON THE WITNESS.

I GOT THAT PART RIGHT.

NOW WHAT?

I GUESS THAT DEPENDS ON YOU, MAN.

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU NOW, MATT.

I SAVED YOUR LIFE, BUDDY.

I CAN'T SAVE YOURS. IT'S GONE TOO FAR.

SO NOW YOU'RE GOING TO SPIT ON ME AGAIN.

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD US. STILL DON'T.

I'M SMARTER THAN YOU, I'M BETTER, FASTER,

AND YOU STILL GOT EVERYTHING.

YOU GOT THE PROMOTIONS. YOU GOT THE COMMENDATIONS. YOU GOT THE PRESS.

AND I GOT ALTHEA.

I'M GOING TO KILL YOU.

I GOT NOTHING TO LOSE NOW. I GOT McGRAW.

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED. NO REASON WHY I SHOULDN'T TAKE YOU OUT, TOO.

DO YOU REALLY HATE ME THAT MUCH?YES.

I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU ROAST IN HELL.

SHE WAS THE ONLY THING IN MY LIFE, MAN.

THAT REALLY MATTERED TO ME, AND YOU TOOK HER AWAY.

YOU GOT IT BACKWARDS, MAN.

YES, YOU DO.

IF YOU WANTED TO HURT ME,

YOU SHOULD'VE KILLED ALTHEA.

BECAUSE EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE

WOULD BE SHEER HELL.

I LOVED YOU, MAN.

WHO'S OUT THERE?

OH, AN ARMY.

[CLICK]

MATTHEW...

DON'T DO IT.

MATTHEW.

SO LONG, GLOVE MAN.

I LOVED YOU, TOO.

MATTHEW, MAN...

MATTHEW, DON'T DO IT.

MATTHEW!

STOP RIGHT THERE!

THROW DOWN THAT GUN!

PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!

PUT THAT GUN DOWN!

[GUNSHOTS]

[THUMP]

WHOA.

HAMMER HEAD.

OHH.
