THANKS, ANTHONY.HEY, JOANN.

HI, JOY, HOW YOU DOING?

FINE.

IN THE NEWS ON THE HOUR

FROM WZIN, MARSHALL CITY.

THESE ARE OUR TOP STORIES.

A GUARD WAS KILLED THIS MORNING

AS THREE CONVICTS ESCAPED FROM RIDGEMOUNT PRISON,

A MAXIMUM-SECURITY FACILITY IN LOUISIANA.

THE ESCAPEES, ALL SERVING LIFE SENTENCES,

VANISHED INTO SWAMPLAND BEFORE DAWN THIS MORNING.

IN A RELATED STORY,

A PRISON BREAK IN VICKSBURG ENDED IN A SHOOTOUT.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU'RE A GOURMET CHEF.

THAT DESCRIPTION MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT EXTRAVAGANT.

THIS BARBECUE SAUCE'S THE ONLY THING I KNOW HOW TO MAKE.

THE RECIPE'S FROM MY UNCLE ROY IN PASCAGOULA.

A STINGY MAN--THE ONLY THING HE LEFT ME.

VIRGIL THOUGHT IT WAS TOO HOT,

BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS.

YOU JUST TASTE THAT.

NOW, THAT ISN'T TOO HOT, IS IT?

NO.

THAT'S JUST THE OTHER SIDE OF STIMULATING, ISN'T IT?

OH. STIMULATING.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

HELLO.

JOANN?

JOANN'S NOT HERE. MAY I TAKE A MESSAGE?

PLEASE HAVE HER CALL TERRI GELLER IN NEW ORLEANS.

IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

I'D APPRECIATE IT IF SHE'D CALL ME RIGHT AWAY.

O.K.

[DIAL TONE]

THREE CONVICTS ARE STILL AT LARGE.

POLICE BELIEVE ONE WAS ASSISTED

BY A CONFEDERATE ON THE OUTSIDE

PROVIDING A STOLEN AUTOMOBILE.

THE CAR WAS FOUND ABANDONED

HERE ON ROYAL STREET NEAR THE FRENCH QUARTER.

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG.

I FINALLY FOUND A DESSERT EVEN BILL WILL LIKE--

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE.

SOUNDS GOOD--YOU GOT A CALL FROM NEW ORLEANS.

UH, TERRI GELLER.

WHEN?

A MINUTE AGO. SHE SAID IT WAS IMPORTANT.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

AAH!

[RING]

HELLO, CHERE.

[RING]

WHAT'S WRONG, BABY?

WHY SO SURPRISED?

[RING]

YOU KNEW I'D COME, DIDN'T YOU?

AND NOW...

I'M HERE.

[RING]

AAH! AAH!

DAMN.

GOOD MORNING.

WELL, GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING.

COME ON IN. HOW YOU DOING?

HAVE FUN LAST NIGHT?

YEAH. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

'COURSE I DIDN'T ENJOY BEING PUSHED OUT

BEFORE CURFEW TIME.

OH.

HOW'S THAT FAMILIAR HEADACHE TODAY?

IT'S FINE.

LISTEN, DON'T COMPLAIN. IF YOU'D STAYED,

YOU WOULD'VE WOUND UP DOING DISHES.

OH, WELL.

I KNOW YOU'RE BUSY,

SO I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS QUICK.

I NEED A FAVOR.

YOUR FAVOR IS MY DUTY, MA'AM.

SIT DOWN.

AHEM.

NOW...

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

I GOT A CALL

FROM AN OLD FRIEND LAST NIGHT.

SHE'S WORRIED THAT HER EX-BOYFRIEND

MIGHT BE ONE OF THOSE MEN

THAT ESCAPED FROM RIDGEMOUNT PRISON.

SHE KNOWS THAT I KNOW YOU

AND THOUGHT MAYBE YOU COULD FIND OUT.

SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE AROUND IF HE SHOWS UP.

WELL, WELL.

WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE PRISONER SHE'S WORRIED ABOUT?

THIBADEAUX.

HI, VIRGIL.

HI, JOANN.

YOU BETTER WRITE THAT OUT FOR ME.

VIRGIL, DIDN'T YOU HAVE A FRIEND

ON THE NEW ORLEANS POLICE?

YEAH, UM, STEVE MASTIN.

COULD YOU CALL HIM UP

AND ASK IF THEY'VE ANY INFORMATION

ON THAT PRISON BREAK IN LOUISIANA YESTERDAY?

OH, UH, HERE. IT'S--

I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS MAN

WAS ONE OF THE ESCAPEES.

IT'S PRONOUNCED TIB-A-DOE.

THIS A FRIEND OF YOURS?

I'LL LET BILL EXPLAIN.

IF YOU HEAR ANYTHING, WILL YOU LET ME KNOW?

THANK YOU.

O.K. YEAH. BYE.

HE'S NOT A FRIEND OF HERS.

UH...BUT SOMEBODY

WHO IS A FRIEND OF HERS KNOWS HIM,

IF YOU FOLLOW THAT.

MAYBE THAT'S THE FRIEND WHO LIVES IN NEW ORLEANS.

SHE GOT A CALL FROM THERE LAST NIGHT.

ALTHEA TOOK THE MESSAGE,

SAID JOANN WAS UPSET THE REST OF THE EVENING.

THIS THING. IT IS--

I BEEN TELLING YOU TO GET A NEW ONE.

AW. BROKE A NAIL.

STOP HOARDING MONEY. BUY NEW EQUIPMENT.

WE COULD USE SOME.YEAH. YEAH.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

MAGNOLIA CAFE.

HELLO, THIS IS VIRGIL.

I GOT THE INFORMATION ON THE PRISON BREAK.

THEY CAUGHT TWO TODAY.

THE OTHER'S STILL AT LARGE,

THE ONE YOU ASKED ABOUT--JUDE THIBADEAUX.

WELL, THANKS, VIRGIL. THAT--

I SURE APPRECIATE YOUR FINDING OUT.

YOUR FRIEND DOWN THERE--

SHE SHOULD CONTACT THE POLICE.

I'VE BEEN CALLING HER.

I HAVEN'T HAD ANY LUCK.

IF YOU REACH HER, WILL YOU LET ME KNOW?

SURE WILL.

AND, UM, THANKS. THANKS AGAIN, VIRGIL.

YOU-YOU'RE VERY KIND.

OHH!

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

WHO IS IT?

KELLY.

WHO?

KELLY KAY.

DONNA?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

MAY I COME IN FOR JUST A MINUTE, PLEASE?

IF I'D HAVE KNOWN YOU WERE COMING, PRINCESS KELLY,

I'D HAVE SPENT THE WHOLE DAY CLEANING UP.

OH, DONNA, LISTEN.

JUDE THIBADEAUX IS OUT. HE ESCAPED.

WELL, GLORY HALLELUJAH. THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN.

IF HE FINDS US, HE'LL KILL US.

YOU AND TERRI GELLER AND ME.

IT'D BE WORTH DYING FOR.

ALL I ASK IS THAT HE DOES IT IN BED,

'CAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD ANYBODY GOOD AS JUDE IN 10 YEARS.

DONNA, LISTEN TO ME!

COME TO SPARTA WITH ME UNTIL HE'S CAUGHT.

I'LL FIND SOMEPLACE FOR US BOTH TO STAY.

I WOULDN'T WALK ACROSS THE STREET WITH YOU.

MY LIFE'S SCREWED UP BECAUSE OF YOU.

GET OUT. LEAVE ME ALONE.

I HATE YOUR GUTS.

ALL I'M ASKING IS THAT YOU DO SOMETHING

TO PROTECT YOURSEL--

GO! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!

JUST GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CALL THE COPS.

LISTEN...

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND, CALL ME--

MAGNOLIA CAFE IN SPARTA.

OH.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

SOME PEOPLE JUST CAN'T TAKE A HINT.

HELLO, SUGAR.

DID YOU MISS ME?

I SURE AS HELL MISSED YOU, BABY.

ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.

I MISSED YOU SOMETHING AWFUL.

NO, JUDE. OHH.

STEVE, I'M NOT TRYING TO PULL AN END RUN.

THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS,

THE CHIEF KNOWS SOMEONE WHO ASKED ABOUT IT,

AND I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT PERSON IS.

LOOK, I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN FIND OUT.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK.

I TAKE IT THAT'S YOUR FRIEND

ON THE NEW ORLEANS P.D.

YEAH. AND GUESS WHAT--

THAT GUY JOANN ASKED ABOUT?

THE CAJUN GUY?

WELL, IT SEEMS HE'S KILLED A WOMAN DOWN THERE.

CHIEF, WHAT IS GOING ON?

NOW, THIS VICTIM WAS TERRI GELLER.

THAT'S THE SAME WOMAN

WHO CALLED JOANN LAST NIGHT.

HOW YOU KNOW THAT?

ALTHEA TOOK THE MESSAGE.

ALTHEA SAID JOANN WAS UPSET

THE REST OF THE NIGHT.

WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION.

YEAH. WELL, UH...

I THINK I'LL JUST TAKE A WALK OVER TO THE CAFE.

YOU WANT ME TO COME ALONG?

NO. I THINK I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT MYSELF.

PICKED A BAD TIME FOR EATING, CHIEF.

YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I CLEAN UP.

EVERYBODY IN TOWN WAS HERE.

I DON'T WANT TO EAT.

WHERE'S MISS JOANN?

THAT'S A DAMN GOOD QUESTION.

SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE BACK BEFORE DINNER.

I AIN'T SEEN HER.

WHERE WAS SHE GOING?

JACKSON'S ALL I KNOW.

SHE DIDN'T SAY WHERE OR WHAT FOR.

MR. TIBBS CALLED THIS MORNING,

AND SHE WAS OUT OF HERE LIKE A...

[BELL ON DOOR RINGS]

GUIDED MISSILE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

JOANN?

I-I'M SORRY.

OH, DEAR GOD. BILL.

WELL, I-I'M SORRY.

YOU SCARED ME TO DEATH.

CAN I HELP YOU WITH THAT?

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN.

WELL, I'M SORRY, UH...

BUT NOBODY KNEW WHERE YOU WERE,

AND IT ISN'T LIKE YOU TO DRIVE OUT OF TOWN

WITHOUT SAYING SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY.

I WENT TO JACKSON.

I DIDN'T THINK I HAD TO SIGN OUT.

UH-HUH.

THERE ISN'T ANYBODY IN THE HOUSE.

I'LL CHECK ALL THE ROOMS IF YOU WANT.

DON'T MAKE A BIG DEAL. I ALWAYS CHECK.

I'M A WOMAN. I LIVE ALONE.

SEEM AWFUL NERVOUS.

I'M FINE.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

COME ON. I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW FOR BREAKFAST.

JUST A MINUTE BEFORE YOU GIVE ME THE BUM'S RUSH HERE.

ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT YOU AND ME

IS THAT WE'VE NEVER MADE DEMANDS OF ONE ANOTHER,

BUT I WANT TO CHANGE THAT THIS ONCE.

BECAUSE IF YOU'RE IN SOME KIND OF TROUBLE,

I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT IT IS.

OH, BILL.

NO, IT'S JUST-- IT'S JUST, UH...

PART OF MY LIFE, I GUESS,

I JUST DON'T WANT TO OPEN UP,

NOT EVEN TO MYSELF.

WELL, CAN YOU TELL ME

IF JUDE THIBADEAUX WAS MIXED UP IN IT?

YEAH.

YOU SEE, UM...

12 YEARS AGO, JUDE KILLED SOMEONE.

I KNOW IT.

A PROSTITUTE.

AND, UH...

HE WAS CONVICTED ON THE TESTIMONY OF TWO WOMEN.

YOU AND TERRI GELLER.

NO. TERRI AND THE WOMAN I WENT TO SEE TODAY.

THEY WERE BOTH PROSTITUTES, TOO,

AND JUDE OWNED THEM.

HE WAS ONE OF THOSE GUYS, WAS HE?

MM-HMM.

AND I WAS THE ONE WHO CONVINCED THEM TO TESTIFY.

WHY?

WELL, I WAS, UH, WORKING

IN THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

AT THE TIME AS A LEGAL SECRETARY.

GIVE ME THE NAME AND PHONE NUMBER

OF THIS WOMAN UP IN JACKSON.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE A PHONE.

THAT'S WHY I WENT THERE TODAY, TO WARN HER.

GIVE ME HER ADDRESS

TO GIVE TO THE JACKSON POLICE

SO THEY'LL FIND HER

BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HER, TOO.

UH, THIBADEAUX KILLED TERRI GELLER.

HE GOT INTO HER APARTMENT,

AND HE ROBBED IT AND TOOK HER CAR.

THE POLICE DOWN THERE

SAY HE ROUGHED HER UP PRETTY BADLY.

HE BROKE HER NECK.

HEY.

WHERE'S KELLY?

NIBBY...

WHAT HAPPENED?

I WAS CLOSING UP.

A GUY GRABBED ME.

HE WAS LOOKING FOR YOU, JOANN.

WANTED TO KNOW WHERE YOU LIVED,

BUT I WOULDN'T TELL HIM.

WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE?

WAS HE HANDSOME?

DID HE HAVE...

DID HE HAVE KIND OF STRANGE EYES?

HE CALLED YOU KELLY.

SAID THAT WAS WHAT THEY CALLED YOU

BEFORE YOU CAME TO SPARTA.

KELLY'S MY MIDDLE NAME.

SOME PEOPLE USED TO CALL ME THAT.

SAID HE WAS GOING TO FIND OUT WHERE YOU LIVE

FROM THE PHONE BOOK.

BEATING ME UP WAS HIS WAY

OF GETTING A MESSAGE TO YOU.

NIBBY.

I'M SO SORRY.

WELL.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME

WHEN YOU'RE GOING SOMEPLACE?

SORRY.

WELL, I'M SORRY, TOO.

I'M SORRY TO SAY

THAT I JUST TALKED TO THE JACKSON POLICE.

THAT WOMAN YOU WERE TRYING TO WARN IS DEAD.

OH, GOD. OH, GOD, NO.

OH.

I KNEW IT.

I ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS GOING TO ESCAPE

AND KILL ALL THREE OF US.

WELL, HE WON'T KILL YOU. WE'LL PROTECT YOU.

BUBBA AND JAMISON ARE AT YOUR PLACE RIGHT NOW.

OH, BILL, YOU'LL NEVER GET HIM.

OH, OUR BOYS WILL GET HIM ALL RIGHT.

NO, THEY WON'T. HE'S TOO SMART.

I KNOW THE WAY HIS MIND WORKS.

I'M THE ONE HE WANTS MOST OF ALL.

WHY?

I TOLD YOU.

HE BLAMES ME FOR BEING SENT TO PRISON.

I REMEMBER WHAT YOU TOLD ME.

I COULDN'T HELP FEELING

THERE WAS A LOT MORE TO TELL.

OH, BILL.

EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO PRIVACY--

EVEN MARRIED PEOPLE, AND WE'RE FAR FROM THAT.

PRIVACY?

SURE, YOU GOT A RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT DUTY.

I'M TRYING TO CATCH A GUY

THAT NEARLY KILLED A POOR FELLOW

AT YOUR CAFE A WHILE AGO.

HE MURDERED TWO WOMEN

WITHIN THE LAST 36 HOURS.

IF YOU'VE GOT THINGS TO TELL ABOUT HIM,

YOU'VE GOT A DUTY TO TELL ME.

I'M NOT SURE YOU COULD TAKE THE TRUTH.

I'M NOT SURE YOU'VE GOT THE STOMACH FOR IT.

NOW, JO...

I DON'T THINK ANY TRUTH

WILL BE TOO HARD TO TAKE

FOR AN OLD COP LIKE ME.

I DIDN'T WORK FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

IN NEW ORLEANS.

I WORKED FOR JUDE THIBADEAUX

IN HOTELS AND MOTELS ALL OVER THE CITY.

HE WAS MY PIMP,

AND I WAS ONE OF HIS $100 WHORES.

OH, I'LL TAKE THAT.

THERE'S A NEW TOOTHBRUSH IN A BOX IN THERE.

I'VE GOT A LONG-TAILED FLANNEL SHIRT

IN THE THIRD DRAWER.

AND, UM, THERE'S A ROBE OF YOURS IN THE CLOSET--

I KNOW.

THANKS.

COULD I HAVE SOME TEA?

YEAH. I'LL MAKE IT FOR YOU.

SIT DOWN.

UH, PARKER. THIS IS THE CHIEF.

ARE YOU ALL IN POSITION OUT THERE?

YES, SIR.

I'VE GOT THREE MEN ON THE PERIMETER,

AND I'M ON FOOT PATROL AROUND THE HOUSE.

YOU BE SURE AND CHECK ON THOSE POSTS

EVERY FEW MINUTES, YOU HEAR?

WILL DO, CHIEF. SWEET DREAMS.

JUST GIVE ME REPORTS,

NOT ADVICE, IF YOU PLEASE.

IT MIGHT BE WISE

IF YOU GOT OUT OF TOWN FOR A FEW DAYS

UNTIL WE CATCH HIM.

WHAT IF YOU DON'T?

OH, WE'LL CATCH HIM, ALL RIGHT.

HE'S BEGGING TO BE CAUGHT.

HE'S MAKING SO MANY NUTTY MISTAKES.

I HAVE AN AUNT WHO LIVES IN INDIANAPOLIS.

WELL, THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA.

GOOD. WE'LL PUT YOU ON A PLANE TOMORROW.

MR. FUNNY NAME WON'T EVEN KNOW YOU LEFT.

WANT TO HEAR A FUNNY IRONY?

IF YOU DON'T CATCH HIM, HE'LL FIND ME,

AND THAT'LL BE THE END OF EVERYTHING,

AND IF YOU DO CATCH HIM,

EVERYBODY WILL KNOW ABOUT ME.

THAT'LL BE THE END OF EVERYTHING, TOO.

I DON'T THINK YOU CAN PREDICT

HOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TAKE THINGS.

OH, BILL, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE

WHEN I TOLD YOU.

OH, WELL...

I'LL TELL YOU THE WHOLE STORY.

WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED, I WAS FLAT BROKE.

I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY

TO PAY HALF THE MEDICAL BILLS,

SO...

I JUST COULDN'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY AT ANYTHING

TO PAY THE RENT.

I BORROWED,

AND THERE WAS NOBODY LEFT TO BORROW FROM,

SO I...I WAS SCARED.

I WAS SCARED.

I DON'T REMEMBER

EXACTLY HOW I MET JUDE THIBADEAUX,

BUT, UM...

HE WAS PART OWNER OF A CLUB,

AND HE--HE GAVE ME SOME WORK AS A DANCER.

HE HELPED ME.

HE TOOK CARE OF ME. HE MADE ME FEEL SAFE.

I TRUSTED HIM.

HE SAID HE LOVED ME,

AND I THOUGHT I LOVED HIM.

HE JUST...TOOK ME OVER COMPLETELY.

I WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING FOR HIM.

YEAH.

WERE YOU INTO DRUGS?

WE ALL WERE.

EVERYTHING. DRUGS, OH, GOD...

YOU KNOW, THAT WHOLE YEAR,

IT WAS JUST LIKE I WAS...

LIKE I WAS TWO PEOPLE.

ONE WAS WATCHING THE OTHER ONE DEGRADE HERSELF

FOR A MAN THAT WAS DANGEROUS AND SICK...

AND EVIL.

[TEAKETTLE WHISTLES]

I JUST COULDN'T SEE.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU OUT OF IT?

I SAW HIM KILL SOMEBODY.

SO DID TERRI AND DONNA.

WELL, UH...YOU'RE GOING TO BE SAFE.

WE'LL CATCH HIM,

AND YOU'LL BE OUT OF HERE TOMORROW.

MAYBE I WON'T COME BACK.

DO YOU REALLY THINK

THAT PEOPLE WILL FORGIVE ME

WHEN THEY START IMAGINING WHAT I'VE DONE?

LOOK AT YOU.

FIRST YOU WANTED TO PROTECT ME.

NOW YOU WANT ME OUT OF TOWN.

NAH...

I'VE BECOME AN EMBARRASSMENT.

THIS IS READY.

UH, THAT'S O.K.

I--I CHANGED MY MIND.

I JUST...UH...

I--I JUST WANT TO GO TO BED.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO TELL US?

THE COFFEE'S A STANDING ORDER,

BUT YOU INVENTORY CANNED GOODS

WEDNESDAY MORNINGS.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF THE CUPS.

ALL RIGHT.

MEAT SALESMAN COMES FRIDAYS.

THE CUTE ONE?

THEY'RE ALL CUTE TO HER.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

MAGNOLIA CAFE.

HELLO, CHERE.

I WAS SO SORRY YOU WEREN'T HOME LAST NIGHT.

DID YOU GET MY MESSAGE?

SOMETHING WRONG, KELLY?

CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE, HUH?

WHERE ARE YOU?

JUST GO TO THE WINDOW AND LOOK OUTSIDE--

JUST FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE, BABY.

HE'S OUT THERE!

WHERE?

PAY PHONE ACROSS THE STREET.

YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

YES! HE'S THERE. I SAW HIM.

O.K. I'LL GO CHECK IT OUT.

WHAT'S HAPPENED TO JOANN?

I DON'T KNOW. WHERE IS SHE, ANYWAY?

SHE WAS HYSTERICAL. SHE RAN OUT BACK.

WHAT! SHE...

JOANN!

JOANN!

DAMN!

IT'S A .38 SPECIAL. IT'S CLEAN, LIGHT, AND LETHAL.

FITS IN YOUR HANDBAG,

SO NOBODY KNOWS IT'S THERE.

UM...HOW MUCH?

IT JUST TAKES $310

AND SOME INFORMATION ON THIS LICENSE FORM.

MM-HMM.

UM...

I LEFT MY IDENTIFICATION AT HOME.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM, IS IT?

HEY. NO BIG DEAL.

YOU GOT AN HONEST FACE.

NOW, THEN, PRETTY LADY,

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

KELLY...

KELLY KAY.

HOW YOU DOING?

CAN I HELP YOU?

YEAH.

WHERE'S THE WOMAN?

WHAT WOMAN'S THAT?

DON'T GET CUTE WITH ME, AMI.

SHE CAME IN HERE 20 MINUTES AGO,

AND HER CAR IS STILL OUTSIDE.

NOW, WHERE IS THE WOMAN?

SHE LEFT OUT BACK.

SHE SAID SHE HAD CAR TROUBLE.

I LOANED HER MINE.

OUT OF THE GENEROSITY OF YOUR HEART, EH?

SHE BOUGHT MY MOST EXPENSIVE HANDGUN.

IT WAS THE LEAST--

DON'T EVER GET SUCKERED IN

BY A WOMAN'S LOOKS, FRIEND.

IT'S A WEAKNESS,

AND THEY CAN SMELL IT

LIKE A SHARK CAN SMELL BLOOD UNDERWATER.

THIS IS UNIT SIX CLEARING FOR NEW LOCATION.

NEVER MIND THAT RADIO HOO-HA.

TELL ME WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE.

I'VE CHECKED MAPLE AVENUE.

NO SIGN OF MISS ST. JOHN OR HER CAR.

WELL, QUIT TALKING AND KEEP LOOKING.

I'VE BEEN BACK AND FORTH

FROM HER HOUSE TO THE CAFE.

NOBODY'S SEEN HER.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

LORD, I GOT 10 UNITS OUT THERE.

CHIEF, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HER,

I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

DON'T KEEP BEATING YOURSELF.

IT ISN'T YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

ANY MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE'S.

THAT WAS THE PAWN SHOP.

THAT GUY WHO WORKS THERE WAS ROUGHED UP

BY SOMEONE MATCHING THIBADEAUX'S DESCRIPTION.

THAT'S HIS LICENSE AND CAR MAKE.

WHY ALL THOSE GUYS OUT THERE

CAN'T SPOT JOANN'S CAR...

A WOMAN THAT LOOKED LIKE HER

BOUGHT A GUN.

SHE GOES BY THE NAME OF KELLY KAY.

SHE BOUGHT A GUN?

YEAH.

WELL, WE'D BETTER GO THERE.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

YES?

JUDE?

OH, SUGAR.

IT'S YOU.

VERY, VERY GOOD.

YOU FOLLOWED ME.

HOW BAD DO YOU WANT ME, JUDE?

OH, I'VE BEEN ACHING FOR YOU, BABY,

IN EVERY WAY.

PROVE IT.

MEET ME AT THE OLD MILL

TOWARD THE FEEDER ROAD

JUST OFF TYLER AND THE INTERSTATE.

I SUPPOSE YOU'RE GOING TO BRING THAT GUN

YOU JUST BOUGHT, HUH?

YEAH. I'LL HAVE A GUN WITH ME.

[DIAL TONE]

HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

I'M GOING BACK TO THE STATION.

O.K.

HEY, CHIEF.

I SHOWED THE CLERK THAT PICTURE OF JOANN.

HE CONFIRMED IT WAS HER THAT BOUGHT A GUN

AND BORROWED HIS CAR.

I GOT DOWN THE LICENSE NUMBER HERE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WELL, I THINK JOANN HAD SOME IDEA

ABOUT TURNING THE TABLES ON THIS GUY

AND THEN, UH, WENT IN A PANIC.

IT DON'T MAKE SENSE.

YOU GOT EVERY MAN LOOKING FOR THIS GUY.

AND WHAT'S THIS KELLY KAY BUSINESS?

WELL, UM...

I GUESS KELLY KAY

IS A FIGMENT OF HER IMAGINATION.

SOME VICTIMS WHO ARE STALKED

BECOME SO TRAUMATIZED,

THEY SOMETIMES TAKE ON SECONDARY PERSONALITIES.

THE TRANSFORMATION CAN BE SO GREAT,

THEY SOMETIMES CHANGE NAMES...

HENCE, KELLY KAY.

YEAH. YEAH, SURE.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR TIBBS.

THANK YOU.

I'LL PHONE IN THIS NUMBER.

THANK YOU, VIRGIL, BUT, UH,

THAT MAY BE THE MOST RIDICULOUS LIE

I EVER HEARD.

WHAT DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT KELLY KAY?

EVERYTHING.

MY FRIEND STEVE MASTIN IN NEW ORLEANS

DID SOME DIGGING.

[SIREN WAILS]

WE TRACKED THIBADEAUX'S CAR

TO A GUY STAYING AT THE LAZY OAKS MOTEL.

LET'S GO.

WELL, WE'RE LATE.

I JUST WONDER HOW LATE.

BUBBA, GO THROUGH THAT CHEST OF DRAWERS THERE.

CHIEF, VIRGIL, THIS IS MR. NEWMAN.

HE RUNS THIS PLACE.

OH, O.K.

SWEET, CALL UP PARKER. SEE WHAT HE WANTED.

YES, SIR.

NOW WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE THIS GUY?

ABOUT 20 MINUTES AGO.

HE DROVE IN, THEN LEFT AGAIN.

IN WHAT DIRECTION?

TOWARD THE INTERSTATE.

OR THE FEEDER ROAD.

OR THE NORTH END OF TOWN.

A WOMAN CALLED HIM HERE.

ANY IDEA WHERE WAS SHE CALLING FROM?

NO. AND I DON'T LISTEN IN,

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

PARKER SAID JOANN JUST CALLED THE STATION.

O.K. WE'RE 20 MINUTES LATE.

EXCUSE ME.

KELLY!

HELLO!

ANYBODY HOME?

KELLY?

DON'T BE SHY, SUGAR.

YOUR DATE IS HERE.

I GOT A HUNDRED BUCKS IN MY POCKET,

AND I'M BURNING WITH DESIRE.

COME ON, KELLY.

OH, I'M SORRY.

JOANN!

THAT'S O.K., BABY.

WHOEVER YOU WANT TO BE, IT'S O.K.

HEY, I BET I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.

YOU'RE IN THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOM.

KELLY!

HERE I COME, KELLY.

READY OR NOT.

BUT IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME,

WHENEVER I TOUCHED ALL THE RIGHT PLACES,

YOU WAS ALWAYS READY.

DON'T MOVE.

NO, CHERE. NO, NO.

NOT LIKE THIS.

I MEAN IT. DON'T MOVE.

WHEN TWO PEOPLE LIKE US COME TOGETHER,

IT SHOULD BE WITH LOVE.

THERE WAS NEVER ANYTHING

EVEN SLIGHTLY RESEMBLING LOVE BETWEEN US.

WELL, WE HAD SOMETHING.

SOMETHING THAT MADE YOU DO A LOT OF CRAZY THINGS.

INSANITY, MAYBE.

FOR A VERY SHORT TIME.

OH. BUT YOU'RE ALL RECOVERED NOW. IS THAT IT?

YEAH.

ANSWER ONE QUESTION FOR ME, KELLY.

DID YOU EVER KNOW ANYONE ELSE LIKE ME,

BEFORE OR SINCE?

SOMEONE WHO COULD TURN YOU UPSIDE DOWN

AND INSIDE OUT?

GIVE YOU PLEASURE THAT MADE YOU BEG?

YOU WERE PART OF THE WORST PERIOD OF MY LIFE, JUDE.

NOTHING MORE.

NOTHING LESS.

I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU EVERY NIGHT IN BATON ROUGE.

IT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT ME GOING.

THAT LONG, WHITE BODY

STRETCHED OUT IN MY IMAGINATION,

WAITING FOR ME.

WAITING FOR ME...

TO DO WHATEVER IT WAS I WANTED TO DO.

MY LITTLE PRINCESS KELLY.

LACY THINGS.

PERFECT LEGS.

DANCER'S LEGS.

SLIGHT SMELL OF LAVENDER ON YOUR SKIN.

YOU WERE THE MOST EXCITING WOMAN I EVER KNEW.

YOU KILLED TERRI, AND YOU KILLED DONNA,

AND I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU COME ANY CLOSER.

LOOK, BABY.

LOOK AT ME, HUH?

NO GUN.

NO TRICKS.

I'M HELPLESS!

ALL I EVER WANTED WAS YOU.

WHY DID YOU DO THAT, HUH?

LIE ON THE FLOOR.

NO. NOT ALONE.

DO IT, JUDE! DO IT!

THE POLICE ARE ON THEIR WAY.

WELL, WELL.

I CALLED THEM RIGHT AFTER I CALLED YOU.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'LL FIND HERE?

ME DEAD? YOU DEAD?

BOTH OF US?

WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GOING TO FIND?

DAMN IT, JUDE! LIE DOWN!

YOU GO TO HELL!

YEAH.

YEAH. YOU AND ME, BABY.

RIGHT STRAIGHT TO HELL.

THIBADEAUX!

KELLY!

AAH!

HEY.

YOUR CAR IS BACK THERE.

WELL, IT'LL ALL COME OUT NOW, HMM?

NO MORE SECRETS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, THAT'S ALL RIGHT, TOO.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO HIDE ANYMORE.

BILL?

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN WITH A PROSTITUTE?

YEAH.

EVER MEET HER AGAIN?

NO.

DID YOU EVER WANT TO?

NO.

SO...

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

FUNNY THING.

I ASKED YOU THAT SAME QUESTION

ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO.

WE WERE SOMEWHERE. I FORGET WHERE.

YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID?

I SAID, "WHERE WE GO FROM HERE?"

AND YOU SAID, "OH, BILL. I DON'T KNOW.

"TIME WILL TELL.

TIME WILL TELL."

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID.

I UNDERSTAND.

TRULY...I DO.
