[CLICK]

CHIEF, THIS IS MY NIECE, NICOLE.

SHE'S VISITING FROM PHILADELPHIA.

I DIDN'T FIGURE SHE'S FROM AROUND HERE.

WELL, YOU SEE ALTHEA HAD A CONFERENCE TO GO TO,

AND I THOUGHT NICOLE MIGHT ENJOY SEEING WHAT GOES ON

IN THE SPARTA POLICE STATION.

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON IN HERE,

EXCEPT I'M ABOUT TO CHANGE MY CLOTHES.

RIGHT.

UH, YES, I'M TAKING NICOLE OVER TO THE CAFE FOR BREAKFAST.

BUT, I NEED 20 MINUTES FOR MY NAILS TO DRY.

BLOW ON THEM, NICOLE. BLOW ON THEM. GO AHEAD.

CHIEF, HER PARENTS ARE GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE,

AND NICOLE IS TAKING IT PRETTY ROUGH.

I SYMPATHIZE WITH THE CHILD,

BUT AT THE SAME TIME THIS ISN'T A BEAUTY PARLOR.

RIGHT.

RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. FINE, FINE, FINE.

WELL, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

A PHONE MESSAGE FROM MARIE FOLGER,

PAROLE OFFICER DOWN IN JACKSON.

IT'S REGARDING WILLIE BAYLOR.

OH, WILLIE BAYLOR.

WILLIE BAYLOR, HUH?

DIDN'T YOU ONCE ARREST WILLIE BAYLOR FOR ASSAULT?

YES, SIR.

UH-HUH. DIDN'T HE BREAK ONE OF YOUR TEETH?

NO, SIR. I BROKE ONE OF HIS TOOTH. HE BROKE ONE OF MY RIBS.

UH-HUH.

YEAH.

OH, GOOD MORNING.

HAVE I GOT MS. MARIE FOLGER?

THIS IS CHIEF BILL GILLESPIE IN SPARTA.

UH, YEAH.

AM I TO ASSUME THAT I'VE GOT WILLIE BAYLOR

BACK IN MY LAP AGAIN?

YOU DO MAKE A MILLION-DOLLAR HOT CAKES, JO.

WELL, THANK YOU, SIR.

IT'S NICE TO KNOW I'M APPRECIATED.

EATING HERE IS THE BEST THING ABOUT STAYING WITH UNCLE BUBBA.

I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT OATMEAL OR GREEN VEGETABLES IN THREE DAYS.

YOU DON'T TELL YOUR MAMA THAT WHEN SHE'S BACK.

[LAUGHING]

GOOD MORNING.

HI!

HI, JOANN.

YOU MUST BE ALTHEA'S NIECE FROM PHILADELPHIA.

I'M JOANN. YOUR AUNT'S TOLD ME ALL ABOUT YOU.

HI. I'M NICOLE.

AND, NICOLE, THIS IS BUBBA SKINNER.

HELLO, NICOLE. WELCOME TO SPARTA.

THIS IS BUBBA'S NEPHEW,

ONE OF OUR LOCAL BOYS, BOBBY SKINNER.

HEY.

HERE YOU GO, NICOLE. SIT RIGHT HERE.

BOBBY.

MORNING.

HMM. WHAT DO YOU HAVE WITH TOFU?

WITH WHAT?

TOFU.

OH, SURE. THAT STUFF.

COFFEE FIRST?

STEAK AND EGGS.

DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT TO ME.

LOOK, MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO EAT SOMEPLACE ELSE.

MAYBE YOU BETTER BACK OFF.

HELLO THERE, WILLIE.

HELLO, COP.

I WAS HOPING YOU WAS DEAD BY NOW.

WELL, I WAS HOPING YOU'D DO YOUR WHOLE 10.

YOU GOT SOME RELATIVE ON THE PAROLE BOARD?

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT ME.

I WAS A MODEL PRISONER.

I WAS WHAT YOU CALL

A REAL INSPIRATION TO MY FELLOW INMATES.

THE LADY'S NOT SERVING YOU.

YOU'RE OUT OF HERE.

FINE.

I'M PARTICULAR ABOUT THE COMPANY I KEEP ANYWAY.

THANKS, FELLAS.

WHO IS HE?

WILLIE BAYLOR. BEEN SERVING TIME

AT TUPELO FOR MANSLAUGHTER.

FOLKS SAY HE'S ONE OF THE GUYS WHO GOT AWAY

WHO ROBBED THAT ARMORED CAR IN RICHLAND

THEY SAY THAT HE'S BURIED HIS SHARE SOMEWHERE.

THEY SAY, BUT I NEVER HEARD OF ANYBODY DIGGING FOR IT.

MAYBE SOMEBODY DID, YOU KNOW, IN SECRET, AND GOT IT.

I AGREE WITH JOANN.

A PAROLE BOARD WOULD BE PRETTY LENIENT

TO RELEASE A PRISONER

THEY THOUGHT STILL POSSESSED STOLEN MONEY.

ANY WAY YOU SLICE IT, THAT MAN'S TROUBLE.

THERE GONNA BE LOTS OF PEOPLE IN SPARTA WILL BE SORRY HE'S BACK.

[TIRES SCREECH][HORN HONKS]

WILLIE BAYLOR?

WILLIE BAYLOR?

WHO WANTS TO KNOW?

REMEMBER KEN DUNLEAVY?

CAN'T SAY AS I DO.

HE'S MY BROTHER.

WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.

HE DROVE AN ARMORED CAR.

FIVE YEARS AGO, YOU SHOT HIM IN THE BACK.

HE'S IN A WHEELCHAIR NOW.

SO WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, SEND FLOWERS?

HE CAN'T WORK.

HE'S BARELY MAKING IT.

IT SEEMS TO ME YOU OWE HIM.

SEEMS TO ME YOU CAN GO TO HELL.

COME ON!

UP AGAINST THE TREE!

NO PROBLEM. I'M JUST DEFENDING MYSELF, O.K.? THAT'S ALL.

I'LL KILL HIM!

WITH MY BARE HANDS, I'LL KILL HIM!

YOU KNOW BETTER, JAKE.

YOU COULDN'T HURT THAT GORILLA WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER.

DON'T SAY WE DON'T GIVE YOU ANY EXCITEMENT

HERE IN SPARTA.

COME BACK IN FOR BREAKFAST.

WE'LL BE IN IN TWO MINUTES, O.K.?

O.K.

SO, WHAT DO YOU DO FOR ACTION AROUND HERE?

UH...

HUNT, FISH,

GO SWIMMING AT THE LAKE.

THRILLING.

GOT A CAR?

WHAT?

CAR. HAVE YOU GOT A CAR?

NO, I DON'T.

YOU'VE NEVER DRIVEN A CAR?

I'VE DRIVEN, BUT I DON'T HAVE A CAR.

[SIGHS] MAN.

DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WITH WHEELS?

HOW COME YOU'RE SO HOT FOR A CAR?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

I'VE BEEN COOPED UP THREE DAYS WITH MY AUNT AND UNCLE.

I WANT TO CUT LOOSE. SEE WHAT'S UP.

I MIGHT KNOW SOMEBODY WHO COULD LEND ME ONE.

GREAT. THEN LET'S GO.

THEN HE JUMPED ME. IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE. I SWEAR TO GOD.

AND I WILL DO IT AGAIN.

NEXT TIME YOU WON'T GET UP!

KEEP THAT CREEP AWAY FROM ME.

I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID.

NEXT TIME I BRING THIS DOWN, IT'LL BE OVER YOUR HEADS!

HE JUMPED ME.

SHUT UP!

WHEN I GET OUTTA HERE I'LL KILL YOU!

YOU THREATEN TO KILL,

I CAN PUT YOU BACK IN THAT JUG FOR CONSIDERABLE TIME.

WHAT THESE FOOLS BEEN UP TO?

FIGHTING BY THE CAFE.

BRING WILLIE BAYLOR BACK HERE, PLEASE.

JAKE DUNLEAVY,

YOU'RE A LUCKY MAN. I'M TURNING YOU LOOSE.

NOW GET OUT OF HERE!

YOU'RE LETTING HIM GO?

YOU HEARD HIM THREATEN ME.

YOU SIT DOWN IN THAT CHAIR.

THOSE PAROLE NOTES ON WILLIE BAYLOR--

MAY I HAVE THEM, PLEASE?

WELL, WILLIE, I DIDN'T THINK

YOU'D BE SOILING THESE PREMISES SO SOON AGAIN.

I GOT A RIGHT TO BE HERE AND BE PROTECTED.

WHAT YOU SCARED OF, BESIDES JAKE DUNLEAVY?

HALF THE PEOPLE HERE THINK I GOT MONEY BURIED SOMEWHERE,

AND THEY'RE AFTER IT.

I'VE HAD THREATS.

WHY WOULD ANYBODY THREATEN YOU?

I SHOULD THINK PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO MAKE FRIENDS.

WHERE'S HIS PAROLE CONTACT?

JACKSON, WHERE HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE LIVING.

HERE YOU GO, CHIEF.

ACCORDING TO MS. LIZ FOLGER,

YOU GOT SPECIAL PERMISSION TO COME TO SPARTA FOR FOUR DAYS

TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY ABOUT DISPOSING OF PROPERTY

YOUR DADDY LEFT YOU OUT BY PIERS FARM.

DONE THAT YET?

GOT AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW.

SEE YOU KEEP IT.

I'M GOING TO BE WATCHING EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE.

IF YOU'RE HERE DAY AFTER TOMORROW,

I'LL ASSUME YOU'RE BREAKING PAROLE AND ARREST YOU.

WHERE YOU SLEEPING?

OUT AT THE PLACE. I GOT A TENT.

OFFICER SWEET.

YES, SIR?

MAKE OUT A REGULAR FORM ON HIM.

TAKE ALL THE PARTICULARS,

NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF RELATIVES.

FINGERPRINT HIM LIKE AN ARREST,

WHICH IT ISN'T...YET.

THEN LET HIM GO ON ABOUT HIS BUSINESS.

WELL, WILLIE...

ENOUGH SAID.

HUH?

AND SO I SAID COME ON BACK AND FINISH YOUR BREAKFAST.

THEY SAID THEY'D BE RIGHT IN.

IT'S NOT LIKE BOBBY.

HE WOULDN'T DO THIS UNLESS HE WAS PUSHED.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN, BUBBA?

IT'S OBVIOUS.

YOUR NIECE TALKED HIM INTO GOING SOMEWHERE, THAT'S ALL.

NO, I DON'T SEE HOW IT'S ALL THAT OBVIOUS.

WELL, I DO KNOW BOBBY.

HE WOULDN'T JUST RUN OFF WITHOUT TELLING ME.

UNLESS IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE'S IDEA.

BOBBY LIVES HERE, BUBBA.

IT SEEMS TO ME

HE PROBABLY CAME UP WITH THE SUGGESTION.

WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

THAT'S NOT UNUSUAL FOR KIDS THAT AGE.

WHO WANTS TO STAY WITH AN UNCLE

WHEN YOU CAN GO HANG OUT?

DETECTIVE, SERGEANT, THE CHIEF SAYS GET MOVING.

WE'RE ROLLING.

ALL RIGHT. JOANN, LATER.

BYE.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]

WELL?

MY FRIEND NEEDS HIS CAR.

HE HAS TO MAKE DELIVERIES, THIS AFTERNOON.

DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY ELSE WITH WHEELS?

JUST MY UNCLE, AND I'M NOT ASKING HIM.

GEEZ. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

YOU ARE SUCH A WIMP.

AT LEAST I'M NOT SOME WEIRD BIMBO WITH DARK GLASSES.

I DON'T HAVE TO HAVE NOISE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW I'M IMPORTANT.

NICOLE, WAIT.

COME ON.

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN THOSE THINGS.

[TURNS OFF MUSIC]

I GUESS I DESERVED IT.

I CALLED YOU A WIMP.

HOW ABOUT THIS? I CAN'T GET A CAR,

BUT MAYBE I CAN GET THIS OLD JEEP.

YEAH?

IT'S MY GRANDPA'S.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT RUNS.

WILSON!

YO, WILSON! SWEET!

WHAT'S UP?

WILLIE BAYLOR'S DEAD. BURNED HIMSELF UP IN A FIRE.

WILLIE BAYLOR.

THAT'S THAT CREEP IN THE DINER.

THAT'S THE ONE, AND GOOD RIDDANCE.

WELL, GUESS WHAT?

THEY'LL BE GONE INVESTIGATING WILLIE.

NO ONE'S GOING TO WONDER WHERE WE WENT.

LET'S GO.

YOU KNOW FROM THE BURN PATTERN

IT LOOKS LIKE THE FIRE STARTED HERE

NEAR THIS LANTERN.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A CAN OF WHITE GAS,

A POWERFUL ACCELERANT.

YEAH, IT SURE IS.

SEE HOW THE DARKEST EMBERS MAKE A PATH

FROM HERE RIGHT TO THE SLEEPING BAG WHERE THE BODY WAS,

LIKE A WICK?

YOU KNOW...

WHAT I THINK HAPPENED

IS THAT THE GAS CAN TIPPED OVER

AND SATURATED THE SLEEPING BAG,

WHICH WOULD MAKE IT BURN MORE.

THAT'S WHY THE BODY WAS SO BADLY DAMAGED.

I'LL BET WILLIE HAD AN ELEVATED BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL.

WELL, IT ALL SOUNDS VERY SCIENTIFIC, VIRGIL.

YOU KNOW--

YOUR ACCELERANT, YOUR WICKS,

YOUR ELEVATED ALCOHOL, AND ALL THAT.

YOU'RE REALLY SAYING WILLIE WAS DRUNK AND SMOKING

AND SET HIMSELF ON FIRE.

OH...

I KNOW THAT TONE OF VOICE.

HUH?

I KNOW THAT TONE.

THE ONE THAT SAYS, UM...

"YOU THINK YOU KNOW SO MUCH,

"BUT I'M ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD."

NO, NO, I'M NOT DISCOUNTING ANYTHING YOU SAY.

I JUST CAN'T GET OUT OF MY HEAD

THAT THERE'S A FEW PEOPLE

THAT COULD HAVE KILLED WILLIE.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THIS WAS SET ON PURPOSE?

IT ALL SEEMS KIND OF CONVENIENT.

THAT ACCELERANT OF YOURS

JUST ACCIDENTALLY TIPS OVER...

AND THEN RUNS ALONG THE GROUND THERE, LIKE THAT WICK...

AND SETS EVERYTHING ON FIRE. ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER.

BUT I'LL TELL YOU,

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS AN ACCIDENT.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

WHOA!

NOW, THAT WAS WILD.

OH...

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

NOT TOO FAR. AN ABANDONED STILL.

A STILL? YOU MEAN MOONSHINE?

YOU GOT IT.

THEY RAIDED IT, BUT THERE ARE JARS ALL OVER.

YOU GOING TO DRINK IT?

SURE. YOU THINK I'M A WIMP OR SOMETHING?

COME ON.

PARKER, ANY MESSAGES FROM NICOLE?

WELL, SORT OF.

BOBBY CALLED BUBBA AND SAID TO TELL YOU BOTH

HE AND NICOLE WERE LOOKING AT OLD HOUSES.

OLD HOUSES?

HE SAID NICOLE WAS REAL INTERESTED IN ARCHITECTURE,

AND HE WAS GOING TO SHOW HER

SOME FINE OLD HOMES.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT, I'VE GOT SWAMP LAND TO SELL.

BUBBA, WHERE DO YOU SUPPOSE HE'S TAKEN HER?

WELL, I DON'T SUPPOSE HE'S TAKEN HER ANYWHERE.

IN FACT, SHE'S PROBABLY TALKED HIM INTO SOMETHING.

BUBBA, HE'S THE ONE THAT LEFT THE MESSAGE.

THAT DON'T PROVE WHOSE IDEA IT WAS.

BUBBA, LET'S HAVE AN END TO THIS, CAN WE?

BUBBA, SOMETIMES I GET SO TIRED.

WILL YOU GET THE EVIDENCE FROM THE CAMPSITE?

PUT IT IN THE EVIDENCE ROOM

VIRGIL, I'LL SEE YOU IN THE OFFICE.

SO WHEN MY FOLKS FOUND OUT

INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE CHURCH PICNIC

WE WENT TO THE WOODS AND DRANK BEER,

MY DADDY TANNED MY HIDE.

I WAS GROUNDED FOR A MONTH.

OH, NOW, THAT'S COLD.

SO, UM, LIKE, HAVE YOU DONE IT SINCE?

NOT TILL NOW.

HEY, WELL, LOOK.

YOUR FOLKS ARE GONE.

NOBODY'S GOING TO KNOW.

YEAH, WELL, I KNOW WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE AUTOPSY REPORTS.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME, I WANT TO TALK TO SOME PEOPLE

WHO HAD IT IN FOR HIM.

YEAH, LIKE JAKE DUNLEAVY.

YEAH, JAKE DUNLEAVY, AND...

A MAN NAMED GENE WARREN.

WHO'S THAT?

HE'S THE DADDY OF A GIRL WHO WAS RAPED.

BY WILLIE BAYLOR?

THE JURY COULDN'T CONVICT WILLIE.

THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE,

WHETHER HE FORCED HER OR SHE LET HIM.

ANYWAY, SHE GOT PREGNANT. IT WAS A MESS.

IF WILLIE HADN'T BEEN SENT TO THE PEN,

GENE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

HOPE I'M NOT INTERRUPTING.

NO. ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

HI, BABY.

HOW WAS YOUR CONFERENCE?

OH, WELL, IT WAS EXCITING,

STIMULATING, EXHAUSTING.

"THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TEEN PEER GROUPS."

I HOPE YOU TOOK NOTES.

WELL, I SEE NICOLE HAS MADE HERSELF AT HOME.

SWEET CHILD.

HOW'S SHE DOING?

OUT. SHE'S WALKING.

NICOLE WALKING?

YEAH. SHE'S OUT WITH BOBBY SKINNER,

BUBBA SKINNER'S NEPHEW.

AHA. SO THAT EXPLAINS IT.

SO, WHERE HAVE THEY WALKED TO?

AROUND.

SHE'S LOOKING AT HOUSES.

YOU KNOW, NICOLE IS VERY INTERESTED IN ARCHITECTURE.

WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE?

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

THE KIDS JUST TOOK A WALK AROUND TOWN.

AND BOUND TO TURN UP ANY MINUTE.

YOU'VE LOST NICOLE.

[RAP MUSIC PLAYS]

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN STAND

THAT MUSIC ALL THE TIME.

ARE YOU KIDDING? IT'S D.J. JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE.

THEY'RE DEF.

I KNOW PRINCE.

THAT DOESN'T SOUND ANYTHING LIKE HIM.

MAN, YOU'RE BUGGIN'.

WHAT?

HEY, HEY!

HOLD ON.

YOU O.K.?

YEAH.

[TURNS OFF MUSIC]

I THINK I'VE HAD TOO MUCH.

IF UNCLE BUBBA FINDS OUT,

HE'LL WHIP ME AROUND THE CITY SQUARE.

MAN, THAT'S DEEP--

HAVING AN UNCLE THAT'S A COP.

YOUR UNCLE'S A COP.

BUT I DON'T LIVE IN THE SAME TOWN.

THAT WOULD BE TOUGH.

YEAH, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR FOLKS THINK

HE'S THE GREATEST THING THAT EVER WALKED THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

OH, YEAH?

YEAH.

IT'S ALL I EVER HEARD. BUBBA THIS, BUBBA THAT.

"WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE YOUR UNCLE BUBBA?"

THEY THINK HE'S GOD'S GIFT TO MISSISSIPPI.

YOU DON'T LIKE HIM?

SURE, I DO. HE'S TERRIFIC.

IT'S JUST I CAN'T BE HIM.

HE WAS A FOOTBALL STAR.

HE WENT TO ALABAMA UNDER BEAR BRYANT.

AND NOW HE'S A SERGEANT ON THE POLICE FORCE.

I'D LOVE TO GET OUT OF THIS TOWN,

GO SOMEPLACE LIKE PHILADELPHIA,

MAKE IT ON MY OWN,

NOT HAVE PEOPLE COMPARING ME

TO MY UNCLE ALL THE TIME.

YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TO PHILLY.

HOW COME?

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD YOU'VE GOT IT.

IN SOUTH PHILLY,

YOU'D HAVE TO FIGHT JUST TO STAY ALIVE.

HERE IT'S...

I DON'T KNOW. IT'S--IT'S CLEAN,

IT'S PEACEFUL.

I'M NOT LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER EVERY SECOND

TO SEE WHO'S COMING.

MAYBE YOU AND I SHOULD TRADE PLACES

SO'S WE COULD APPRECIATE WHAT WE GOT.

OH.

YOU KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN THE GREATEST DAY.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE A HICK AT FIRST.

BUT YOU'RE COOL.

I MEAN IT.

WELL, I THOUGHT YOU WERE FROM ANOTHER PLANET.

BUT YOU'RE TERRIFIC.

THANKS.

AAH!

SORRY.

RUN, RUN, BOBBY, RUN, RUN!

RUN, BOBBY! IT'S HIM! RUN!

YOU ALL JUST ABANDONED THEM?

WE DIDN'T ABANDON THEM.

WE HAD TO BREAK UP A FIGHT.

BOBBY'S A BIG BOY.

IT'S HIS HOMETOWN.

IT'S NOT LIKE HE NEEDS A BABY-SITTER.

IF HE'S SO IRRESPONSIBLE

HE'D TAKE NICOLE WITHOUT TELLING ANYBODY,

MAYBE HE DOES.

NOW JUST HOLD ON ONE LITTLE MINUTE HERE.

HOW COME EVERYBODY'S SO SURE THIS IS BOBBY'S DOING?

BECAUSE THIS IS HIS TURF.

SHE WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO.

A GIRL LIKE THAT WOULD FIGURE IT OUT FAST.

A GIRL LIKE THAT?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, A GIRL LIKE THAT?

NICOLE, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

THIS BETTER BE GOOD.

I SAW HIM WITH A GUN.

CALM DOWN. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE ONE AT THE DINER.

WILLIE BAYLOR.

SHE SAID SHE SAW HIM IN THE WOODS.

I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU SAW,

BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE WILLIE BAYLOR.

WILLIE GOT BURNED UP.

I KNOW THAT, BUT I SAW HIM.

WHAT DO I SMELL?

YOU BEEN DRINKING.

SO HAVE YOU. WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN HER INTO?

NOT AGAIN.

SHE'S RIGHT.

I TOOK NICOLE TO SUTTER'S HILL,

TO THAT STILL YOU BUSTED.

YOU WERE DRINKING? YES, SIR.

BIG DEAL, SO WHAT? WE WERE DRINKING.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT CREEP

IS UP THERE WITH A GUN.

IT'S A BIG DEAL IF YOU'RE SEEING THINGS.

BOBBY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, BOY?

I WAS THE ONE WHO WANTED SOME BOOZE.

NICOLE!

THE CHIEF SAID TO TELL YOU

HE COULD HEAR YOU

AND HE DON'T WANT TO.

BOY... FOLLOW.

I'M DRIVING YOU HOME.

UNCLE VIRGIL,

I'M NOT DRUNK, I'M NOT CRAZY,

I SAW THAT MAN, AND I'M REPORTING IT.

NICOLE, GO.

I WANT TO ENJOY LUNCH,

SO I'M WORKING OFF SOME BAD FEELINGS FIRST.

THEY MUST BE BAD,

'CAUSE YOU'VE CHOPPED ENOUGH WOOD

FOR YOURSELF AND THE NEIGHBORS ON BOTH SIDES.

WILLIE BAYLOR'S OUT.

I KNOW. I'VE TALKED TO HIM.

YOU PROUD OF THE LAW, BILL?

I'M PROUD OF THE WAY WE MAKE IT.

YOU PROUD OF THE WAY IT WORKS?

YEAH, I'M PROUD WHEN WE WORK AT IT.

WHEN WE FAIL,

I'M ABOUT AS DISGUSTED AS ANY OTHER GUY.

YOU FAILED WITH WILLIE BAYLOR.

HE RUINED TWO PEOPLE'S LIVES.

GENE, NOW--

A YOUNG MAN IN HIS CHAIR

LIKE A POTTED PLANT.

A GIRL WITH A NICE HUSBAND AND BABY

CAN'T MAKE THE MARRIAGE WORK.

BAD DREAMS.

HALF THE TIME SHE'S SLEEPING ON THE COUCH

'CAUSE SHE'S AFRAID OF HER HUSBAND.

AND HE LOVES HER, AND HE JUST WANTS...

WILLIE BAYLOR'S DEAD.

SAY WHAT?

I SAY, WILLIE BAYLOR'S DEAD.

IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY.

HE WENT TO HELL IN A GASOLINE FIRE,

THOUGH I THINK SOMEBODY BOUGHT HIM A TICKET.

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I DID YESTERDAY.

YES, SIR.

I DROVE INTO RICHLAND 'CAUSE I WANTED TO.

ALL BY MYSELF.

NOBODY SAW ME.

IF YOU WANT TO ARREST ME, BILL, GO AHEAD.

WELL, GENE, I...

I REALLY DON'T THINK YOU'RE MY MAN.

I WISH I WAS.

MAY GOD FORGIVE ME, I WISH I WAS.

BODY LARGELY CONSUMED BY FIRE.

EXTREME CHARRED CONDITION.

SEX, AGE, RACE

CANNOT BE DETERMINED BY VISUAL EXAMINATION.

THIS WAS A GASOLINE FIRE.

THAT'S RIGHT. WHITE GAS.

PROBABLY FUEL FOR A PORTABLE STOVE OR LANTERN.

WORST BURNING I'VE EVER SEEN.

WELL, WE FIGURE THE GAS LEAKED INTO THE SLEEPING BAG,

KEPT THE FIRE BURNING LONGER.

BODY FACE UP OR FACE DOWN?

UH, FACE UP.

YOU KNOW...

I'M WONDERING WHY THE HANDS

ARE MORE SEVERELY CHARRED

THAN THE FOREARMS. I MEAN...

THE FINGERS ARE ALMOST BURNED OFF,

AND THE FACE...

WHAT FACE?

EXTREMITIES ARE OFTEN MORE BURNED THAN THE TRUNK.

HAVE YOU GOTTEN DENTAL RECORDS ON WILLIE BAYLOR?

WELL, WE'VE SENT TO THE PRISON.

THEY SHOULD BE IN...

THIS AFTERNOON.

NOT MUCH LEFT OF THESE TEETH.

THERE'S ENOUGH FOR A COMPARISON MAYBE.

DR. ROBB...

JUST FROM WHAT YOU SEE,

WAS THIS AN ACCIDENT?

IF BAYLOR WAS IN THE HABIT

OF WASHING HIS HANDS AND FACE IN GAS,

MAYBE SO.

OTHERWISE, I'D SAY THIS BODY WAS DOUSED WITH GASOLINE

AND SET ON FIRE.

SURE YOU WON'T COME ALONG, NICOLE?

I DON'T THINK SO.

I'M NOT FEELING TOO TERRIFIC.

I THINK THAT'S A HANGOVER.

YEAH. MY FIRST AND MY LAST, I SWEAR.

I WAS SO SURE I SAW THAT GUY.

I MUST HAVE BEEN HALLUCINATING.

I'M SO EMBARRASSED.

OH, NOW, HONEY,

JUST THINK OF IT AS A GOOD LESSON.

ALCOHOL DOESN'T DO ANYBODY FAVORS.

TELL ME ABOUT IT.

I'M GOING TO LOTS OF STORES.

YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING?

NO. THANKS.

I'LL KEEP IT UNDER TWO HOURS.

I'LL COME HOME AND MAKE AN EARLY SUPPER.

MAYBE WE'LL SEE A MOVIE.

O.K.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

AH. THAT'S MARGE.

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

BYE.

[RING]

HELLO.

BOBBY, IT'S NICOLE. YOU ALONE?

YEAH.

HOW ARE YOU, ANYWAY?

I'M FINE.

CAN YOU COME PICK ME UP?

IF I WANT TO GET GROUNDED FOR 10 YEARS.

WE'VE GOT TO GO BACK TO THAT STILL.

ARE YOU KIDDING? WHAT FOR?

I SAW WILLIE BAYLOR.

I WANT TO GET A PICTURE.

NICOLE, ARE YOU CRAZY?

NO, I'M MAD.

NO ONE'S TAKING ME SERIOUSLY.

OF COURSE THEY'RE NOT.

WILLIE BAYLOR GOT KILLED YESTERDAY.

WE GOT PRETTY WELL STEWED.

WHY WOULD ANYONE BELIEVE YOU SAW A DEAD MAN?

I KNOW WHAT I SAW, AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, FINE.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

[RUSTLING]

AAH!

AAH!

SOME TRACKER! I HEARD YOU FOR 2 MILES.

WHAT A DUMB THING TO DO!

YOU REALLY SCARED ME!

JUST SHOWING YOU HOW EASY IT WOULD BE

TO SNEAK UP ON YOU.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T COMING.

DIDN'T HAVE MUCH ELSE TO DO.

WELL, THANKS.

LET'S GO TAKE A PICTURE.

NOW WHY WOULD I WALK IN HERE, ON MY OWN, I DIDN'T WANNA TELL THE TRUTH?

YOUR WIFE TOLD YOU

MY MEN WERE LOOKING AROUND THE PLACE.

SO YOU CAME TO TELL ME A TALE.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH THESE DYNAMITE CAPS AND GAS?

NOTHING! THEY'RE NOT MINE!

WHO PUT THEM IN YOUR TOOL SHED?

YOUR WIFE SAYS SHE SAW YOU CARRYING THE CANS.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

YOU FIND STUFF OUTSIDE YOUR SHED.

YOU GOT TO FIGURE SOMEBODY YOU KNOW LEFT IT

AND YOU'LL FIND OUT WHY LATER.

I BROUGHT IT IN THE SHED.

UH-HUH.

HOWEVER IT LOOKS, I DIDN'T KILL BAYLOR.

I THINK THE OTHER GUY DID

AFTER DIGGING UP THE MONEY. NOW, HE IS LONG GONE.

WHAT OTHER GUY?

JAKE TOOK OFF WORK TO COME TELL US

HE SAW SOMEBODY ELSE UP AT BAYLOR'S CAMP.

WEDNESDAY EVENING-- THE DAY BEFORE BAYLOR WAS KILLED.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING THERE?

I WENT LOOKING TO KILL HIM WITH MY .45.

OH, NO.

I SAW THIS GUY MAKING A CAMP.

WELL, BAYLOR CAME ALONG, BUT...

I DECIDED TO COME BACK AND GET HIM ALONE.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO.

THIS OTHER GUY--

I'LL BET THE FARM ON THIS--

DID IT FOR ME.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

YEAH.

I'M HOLDING YOU.

CAN I CALL HOME?

LET HIM MAKE A CALL.

GET HIM A SANDWICH AND COFFEE IF HE WANTS ANY.

I GOT DENTAL REPORTS

ON THE CORPSE AND ON BAYLOR.

THEY DON'T MATCH,

NOT EVEN CLOSELY.

BAYLOR HAD A DISTINCTIVE BITE FORMATION.

THE CORPSE IS NOT WILLIE.

CAN WE RELY ON THAT?

ABSOLUTELY.

KIND OF TURNS JAKE'S STORY AROUND.

IF YOU BELIEVE JAKE

AND THERE WAS SOMEBODY ELSE THERE,

WHY, THAT SOMEBODY MIGHT BE THE CORPSE.

WILLIE COULD BE ALIVE.

IT'S POSSIBLE NICOLE REALLY DID SEE HIM.

FOXY OLD WILLIE.

JUST LIKE HIM TO LINE UP SOME POOR DUMBBELL EX-CON,

PROMISE HIM MONEY, SEND HIM TO SET UP CAMP,

AND THEN BURN HIM UP FOR HIS TROUBLE.

NOW HE'S DIGGING UP THE MONEY,

GETTING READY TO DISAPPEAR

AND NEVER BE LOOKED FOR AGAIN.

HE'S GIVEN US A SUSPECT.

HE COULD'VE PLANTED THIS STUFF AT DUNLEAVY'S PLACE.

I'M GOING TO CALL NICOLE.

O.K. NOW, YOU WERE SITTING HERE...

AND I WAS KNEELING HERE.

THEN WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT TRADING PLACES,

AND THEN I KISSED YOU.

AND THEN RIGHT OVER THERE--

YOU SAW ME.

AND THAT WAS YOUR MISTAKE.

DAMN.

NICOLE IS SUPPOSED TO BE HOME, AND SHE'S NOT ANSWERING.

BUBBA!

YEAH, CHIEF.

CALL THAT NEPHEW OF YOURS.

I WANT TO TALK TO HIM.

I TOLD HIM TO STAY HOME TODAY

OR I'D WHIP HIM.

NOW, I JUST CALLED. HE AIN'T THERE.

WELL...

WH-WH-WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

NORMAL POLICE ACTIVITY, BUBBA.

NORMAL POLICE ACTIVITY.

O.K. NOW YOU.

MY UNCLE'S CHIEF DETECTIVE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

MY UNCLE'S SERGEANT SKINNER!

AND MY UNCLE'S THE SHAH OF IRAN.

YOU GET OVER HERE AND LAY DOWN!

OH, PLEASE.

THEY'LL BE LOOKING FOR US.

THEY'RE PROBABLY RIGHT BEHIND US!

OH, I'M REAL SCARED.

LET US GO. WE WON'T TELL.

THAT'S RIGHT, YOU WON'T.

SO...

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

IT'S NICOLE.

NICOLE...

IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS.

A LONG TIME.

LET HER ALONE!

BOBBY!

GET UP.

WE'RE TAKING A WALK.

NICOLE! NICOLE, IT'S O.K.

HE'S AFTER ME.

TURN AROUND. TURN AROUND.

BOBBY'S HURT REAL BAD.

WHERE IS HE?

HE'S AT THE STILL.

JAMISON, LET'S GO.

HE'S GOT HIS MOTORCYCLE.

GET ON THE RADIO.

I'LL TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WAY HE WENT.

GET DOWN BEHIND SOMETHING, PARKER.

YOU BETTER QUIT, WILLIE!

YOU O.K.?

MY UNDERWEAR'S GOING TO HURT ME FOR A WHILE.

OH, BOY HOWDY! OW!

WILLIE BAYLOR MOVING THERE?

NOT A TWITCH. HE'S HAD IT.

WHAT HAPPENED, YOU GET HIT?

NO, I'M FINE.

I JUST CAN'T FIND MY GLASSES.

NICOLE.

DO YOU THINK YOU'LL FIND

THE MONEY WILLIE BAYLOR BURIED?

THE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND THE FBI EAGLES

ARE COMING TO LOOK FOR IT.

I'M GLAD IT'S THEIR JOB AND NOT MINE.

REMEMBER, WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE TALKING,

JUST CALL ME, ALL RIGHT?

I'LL PROBABLY TAKE YOU UP ON THAT.

IF HE SAID HE'D BE HERE,

HE WILL BE HERE.

IT'S NO BIG DEAL.

WELL...

LOOKS LIKE THIS IS IT.

WHEN YOU GET HOME,

TELL YOUR MOTHER TO CALL ME.

BYE, SWEETIE.

YOU BE GOOD.

NICOLE!

NICOLE, WAIT!

I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D COME.

I HAD TO GET THIS WRAPPED.

WHAT?

I THINK THEY WANT PRIVACY.

OH. SURE.

IT'S TO REMIND YOU OF YOUR VISIT TO MISSISSIPPI.

OH, THANK YOU.

THAT'S PERFECT.

I--I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WOULD...

WELL, YOU KNOW,

HELP YOU REMEMBER ME.

I DON'T NEED A CHARM TO REMEMBER YOU BY, BOBBY.

ARE YOU STILL WORRIED...

ABOUT PHILADELPHIA-- GANGS AND EVERYTHING?

YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY,

BUT EVER SINCE I...

YOU KNOW, TOOK CARE OF WILLIE BAYLOR...

GUESS I FIGURED

IF I COULD GET THROUGH THAT,

I CAN GET THROUGH ANYTHING.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU ARE ONE TERRIFIC PERSON.

[DRIVER] ALL ABOARD!

WELL, I GUESS IT'S SO LONG.

SO LONG.
