THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME.

I'’VE NEVER MADE OUT IN FRONT OF A HAUNTED HOUSE BEFORE.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

IT FEELS WEIRD, THOUGH,

LIKE SOMEBODY'’S WATCHING US.

MM-HMM.

PROBABLY GHOSTS.

AND WE'’RE GOING TO GIVE THEM ONE HELL OF A SHOW,

SO STOP TALKING.

I DON'’T LIKE THIS PLACE.

WHO LIVED HERE?

WHO CARES?I DO.

SOME CRAZY OLD MAN--

ONE EYE AND LONG, POINTED TEETH.[WHIMPERS]

THAT'’S NOT FUNNY.

I DON'’T LIKE THIS PLACE.

LET'’S FINISH OUR BEER AND GET OUT OF HERE.

YOU WANT A BEER?HMM.

EARN IT.

[SCREAMS]

LEAVE THIS PLACE. YOU DON'’T BELONG HERE.

COME ON, LADY, YOU'’RE NOT THE OWNER.

IT'’S MINE TO LOOK AFTER IT.

I WANT YOU OUT, CHARLIE, WITH ALL YOUR BOOZE AND ALL YOUR WOMEN.

HOW'’D YOU KNOW MY NAME?[COCKS GUN]

[GUNSHOT]

[WHIMPERS]

[CHARLIE] MUTTFACE!

MUTTFACE!

LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY DOG.

GET OUT, CHARLIE HOBBS. GO ON, GIT.

YOU'’RE CRAZY, LADY.

YOU OUGHT TO BE LOCKED UP.

YOU NEVER COME BACK HERE NOW.

NEXT TIME, I WON'’T MISS.

MUTTFACE!

MUTTFACE!

HERE, MUTTFACE! HERE, BOY!

YOU'’VE BEEN HERE WITH GIRLS BEFORE.

I HAVEN'’T. I SWEAR.

[WHISTLES] COME ON, BOY!

THEN HOW DID SHE KNOW YOUR NAME?

AND WHAT DID SHE MEAN, "ALL YOUR WOMEN"?

[CHARLIE] I DON'’T KNOW. SHE'’S THE PIG WOMAN. THAT'’S WHY?

SHE JUST KNOWS THINGS.[DOG BARKS]

THERE... THERE HE IS.

[GIRL] LOOK WHAT HE'’S GONE AND DONE.

HE FOUND HIMSELF A BONE.

COME HERE, MUTTFACE.

LET'’S SEE WHAT YOU GOT THERE.

[GRUNTS]WHAT IS IT?

GEEZ, I DON'’T KNOW.

I MAY BE WRONG,

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT CAME FROM A PERSON.

THIS IS A FEMUR FROM A HUMAN BEING.

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

IT CAME FROM SIMON WARE'’S PLACE, THE HAUNTED HOUSE?

CHARLIE HOBBS'’ DOG FOUND IT

AFTER GETTING CHASED OFF BY THE PIG WOMAN.

[ALL LAUGHING]

ANYTIME MAMA WANTED TO SCARE US WHEN WE WERE KIDS,

SHE'’D JUST MENTION THE PIG WOMAN.

OH, YEAH.

SHE'’S MORE THAN SOME OLD CRACKPOT, SHE'’S A DANGEROUS OLD WOMAN.

WHO'’S GOING TO END UP HURTING SOMEBODY.

YEAH.

SOME PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT.

THAT WITCH MAKES ME NERVOUS.

YOU KNOW WHAT GETS ME?

SHE LIVES IN THE WOODS ALONE,

NEVER COMES INTO TOWN, NOBODY SEES HER,

YET SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYBODY.

NOW THAT IS A LITTLE SPOOKY.

LAST PHEASANT SEASON, SHE FIRED AT MY UNCLE.

SIMON WARE MAY BE CRAZY,

BUT HE LETS YOU HUNT ON HIS PROPERTY.

THE PIG WOMAN'’S GOT TO CHASE EVERYBODY OFF.

YEAH. WELL, ANYWAY, IT STANDS TO REASON

THAT IF THEY FOUND ONE BONE,

THERE'’S GOT TO BE MORE.

MAYBE SOMEONE DUMPED SOME BONES, OR BURIED ONE.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO GO SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND.

WHOEVER SEARCHES THOSE WOODS

BETTER GET SIMON WARE'’S PERMISSION.

I'’LL TALK TO HIM.

THAT FALLS UNDER MY DEPARTMENT.

HE DON'’T TALK TO MOST PEOPLE.

I'’LL SAVE YOU THE GRIEF.

NO PROBLEM. IT'’S PART OF MY JOB.

ALL RIGHT, VIRGIL.

LISTEN HERE, IF THAT MAN CALLS YOU "BOY"

AND ORDERS YOU OFF HIS PROPERTY...

DON'’T SAY YOU WEREN'’T WARNED.

[VIRGIL] TELL ME ABOUT THIS MAN WE'’RE GOING TO SEE--

THIS OLD, MYSTERIOUS SIMON WARE.

[BUBBA] RICH, OLD, AND SCARED TO HELL OF GERMS.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

SPARTA'’S HOWARD HUGHES.YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.

NOBODY CAN GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO CONTAMINATE HIM.

HASN'’T BEEN OUT OF THE HOUSE IN 20 YEARS.

MUST BE FUN FOR HIS WIFE.

[BUBBA] NO. SHE DIED A LONG TIME AGO, VIRGIL.

HMM.

WHO TAKES CARE OF HIM?

NURSES.

[BUBBA] LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING

THAT OLD MAN RUNS SOME FINE ONES OUT OF THERE.

IF YOU EVER GET SICK, VIRGIL,

HOPE YOU GET ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF HIS.

DAMN.

HASN'’T HE EVER HEARD OF PAINT?

WELL, I BET HE NEVER SEES THE OUTSIDE,

AND IF HE DOES, I BET HE DON'’T CARE.

YOU KNOW, EVEN I'’D HATE GOING IN THERE

ON A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT.

NOBODY COMES OUT HERE.

THEY DO SAY IT'’S HAUNTED.

BOO!OH, MAN.

[HONKING]

THAT'’S HIS SON, JODY, RIGHT THERE.

HELLO, BUBBA. HOW YOU DOING?

OH, HEY, JODY, HOW YOU DOING?GOOD.

HEY, COME HERE, I WANT YOU TO MEET A FRIEND OF MINE.

JODY WARE, VIRGIL TIBBS HERE.

HI.JODY, HOW YOU DOING?

LOOK, THANKS FOR HELPING US OUT.

WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH

I'’M NOT SURE HOW GOOD IT'’S GOING TO DO.

I'’M NOT EXACTLY MY PAPA'’S FAVORITE PERSON.

SOMETIMES HE LETS ME IN,

AND SOMETIMES HE DOESN'’T.

[BUBBA] JODY, WHO'’S TAKING CARE OF HIM NOWADAYS?

[JODY] MILLIE BARNETT.OH, COME ON. REALLY?

SHE WAS A HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADER.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, VIRGIL.

WHEN GOD PASSED OUT THE GOOD LOOKS,

HE DIDN'’T LOOK PAST MILLIE.

HOLD ON.

I'’VE SEEN HER CERTIFICATE, BUBBA.

SHE IS A LICENSED NURSE.

JODY, I DIDN'’T MEAN ANYTHING BY THAT.

I'’M JUST, UH, SAYING "SMALL WORLD," THAT'’S ALL.

[JODY] HELLO, MILLIE.

HELLO, JODY.

WELL, BUBBA, IT'’S BEEN A LONG TIME.

HELLO, MILLIE.

THIS IS DETECTIVE TIBBS.

HOW DO YOU DO?

HELLO.

THEY NEED TO SEE PAPA.

Y'’ALL SHOULD HAVE CALLED.

YEAH, I KNOW, BUT I FIGURED WE'’D TAKE OUR CHANCES.

SOMETIMES IT'’S BETTER THAT WAY.

ALL RIGHT.

I'’LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

[MILLIE] EXCUSE ME. MR. WARE?

[WARE] WHAT DO YOU WANT, MILLIE?

WHAT, MILLIE? THE POLICE?

THAT IMBECILE GILLESPIE MAKES ME SICK.

[JODY] I KNOW THIS SEEMS STRANGE,

BUT THAT'’S THE WAY HE IS.

[WARE] DO LIKE I TELL YOU AND DON'’T DISTURB ME.

[GLASS BREAKS]

I'’M SORRY. HE WON'’T SEE YOU.

HE SAYS CHIEF GILLESPIE'’S A STUPID OLD FOOL,

AND WHEN HE HEARD YOU WERE HERE, JODY,

HE THREW HIS GLASS OF WATER.

I'’M SORRY.

YEAH. WELL, I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

I'’M SORRY, GENTLEMEN.

MY PAPA AND I HAVE OUR UPS AND DOWNS.

NO PROBLEM. WE CAN STILL SEARCH THE PROPERTY.

WE'’LL JUST HAVE TO GET A WARRANT.

AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER THIS IS THE EXACT SPOT HERE.

MY GIRL AND ME CAME RUNNING FROM THAT DIRECTION,

AND THERE WAS MUTTFACE, CHEWING ON THE BONE.

[VIRGIL] JODY, THIS IS YOUR FATHER'’S PROPERTY, RIGHT?

YEAH. THE RAILROAD TRACKS ARE THERE.

ABOUT 100 YARDS PAST THE TREES.

THAT'’S THE BOUNDARY LINE.

UNLEASH HIM. SEE WHAT HE'’LL DO.

ALL RIGHT.

GET THEM, MUTTFACE.

HE'’S NOT EXACTLY WHAT I'’D CALL A BLOODHOUND.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

GIVE ME A MINUTE WITH HIM.

I'’M GOOD WITH DOGS.

BE MY GUEST.[MUTTFACE BARKS]

HEY, THERE.

YEAH, MUTTFACE.

WE NEED SOME HELP HERE, BUDDY.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT THING.

I KNOW YOU KNOW WHERE THE BONES ARE.

GO OUT IN THOSE WOODS

AND FIND THE REST OF THOSE BONES, O.K.?

NOW, GO.

GO. GO.

[ALL LAUGHING]

[PARKER] COME ON.

THAT'’S TERRIFIC, PARKER.

YOU OUGHT TO OPEN UP AN OBEDIENCE SCHOOL.

UH-OH. WE GOT TROUBLE NOW.

Y'’ALL ARE TRESPASSING.[WHIMPERING]

ALL OF YOU.

WE'’RE HERE ON POLICE BUSINESS.

HERE'’S THE SEARCH WARRANT.

THAT MEANS NOTHING TO ME.

LOWER THAT SHOTGUN. I'’M GOING TO LOCK YOU AWAY.

IS THAT YOU, TOMMY DUGAN, PLAYING POLICEMAN?

IF YOU'’D HAD BRAINS, YOU'’D HAVE STAYED RETIRED.

LET ME HANDLE THIS.

ADAH?

WHAT YOU DOING WITH THESE FOOLS?

[JODY] THEY ASKED ME TO COME.

IT'’S O.K.

PAPA WON'’T CARE AS LONG AS I'’M HERE.

O.K.?

COME ON. LET'’S GO.

THEY'’RE GOOD FOLK. THEY'’RE HERE TO HELP.

[WHIMPERS]

LET'’S GET AT IT.

SPREAD OUT AND START SEARCHING.

[BARKING]

SEE, TOLD YOU HE KNEW SOMETHING.

WHEN YOU GET TO NEW JERSEY, SEND ME A POST CARD.

[WHISTLING]

[MUTTFACE BARKS]

[PARKER] MUTTFACE.

[WHISTLES]

[MUTTFACE BARKS]

[WHISTLES]

MUTTFACE.

MUTTFACE. WHERE ARE YOU, DOG?

COME ON, DOG.

I CAN'’T BELIEVE I LOST YOU ALREADY.

GEE, WHERE IS THAT DOG?

YOU'’RE GOING TO FIND THOSE BONES BEFORE ME, AREN'’T YOU?

[BARKING]

[PANTING]

THAT FOOL DOG'’S RUNNING IN CIRCLES.

[LAUGHING]

BEWARE. THESE WOODS ARE HAUNTED.

SWEET, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SECTOR?

I FINISHED MY OWN ALREADY.

THOUGHT I'’D HELP YOU.

YOU KNOW WHO SHAKESPEARE WAS?

OF COURSE I KNOW.

O.K. IDENTIFY THIS PLAY, NOW.

"ALAS, POOR YORICK, I KNEW HIM--"

HAMLET. THE GRAVEDIGGER SCENE.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

OH, BACK OVER THERE IN A DRY STREAMBED,

ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE SKELETON WE'’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

OH, DR. ROBB.

THAT WAS SOME DISCOVERY ON SWEET'’S PART, EH?

THE REMAINS OF A YOUNG WOMAN.

I'’D ESTIMATE SHE'’S BEEN THERE

SOMEWHERE AROUND 10 TO 12 YEARS.

A LOT OF BROKEN BONES.

BLUNT-FORCE TRAUMA, HUH?

YOU'’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, VIRGIL.

ANTE-MORTEM FRACTURES

HERE AND HERE.

AND HERE AND THERE.

THIS POOR CREATURE, WHOEVER SHE WAS,

DIED A HORRIBLE DEATH.

SHE WAS PROBABLY BEAT SENSELESS

AND THEN DISMEMBERED WITH AN AX OR A HATCHET.

AND THEN LEFT IN THE WOODS TO ROT.

THERE'’S MORE.

THIS FEMUR THOSE KIDS FOUND BY THE HAUNTED HOUSE,

IT DOESN'’T BELONG TO THAT PERSON,

WHICH MEANS THAT SOMEWHERE OUT THERE,

THERE'’S AT LEAST ONE OTHER BODY.

[VIRGIL] THE UNDERBRUSH THERE GETS PRETTY DENSE,

SO KEEP CONSTANT VISUAL CONTACT.

TRY TO STAY NO MORE THAN 6 FEET OR SO

FROM THE PERSON ON EITHER SIDE OF YOU.

NOW, IF YOU HAPPEN TO FIND ANYTHING

THAT LOOKS REMOTELY LIKE A BONE,

DON'’T TOUCH IT.

JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE

AND CONTACT SERGEANT SKINNER.

AND IF YOU HAPPEN TO RUN ACROSS THIS OLD WOMAN,

MISS ADAH BOONE, THE PIG WOMAN,

YOU WATCH YOURSELF.

THE SHOTGUN SHE CARRIES HAS BEEN KNOWN TO GO OFF.

ANY QUESTIONS?

ALL RIGHT, LET'’S MOVE IT OUT.

...GOTTA FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE. I CAN TAKE YOU GUYS.

COME ON.

HELLO, MILLIE.

YOUR FATHER'’S NOT GOING TO LIKE THIS.

[MAN] WANT TO JOIN A POSSE, HONEY?

HI.HELLO, MILLIE.

CAN I HELP YOU?

I NEED TO SPEAK TO WHOEVER'’S IN CHARGE.

SURE. SURE.

[MAN] VERY NICE.MM-HMM.

[WOLF WHISTLES]

HEY, SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU. SHUT UP.

[MEN LAUGHING]

UH, MILLIE NEEDS TO TALK TO YOU.

I GOT TO LEAVE.

HI, MILLIE.

HI.

HI. I'’M CAPTAIN TOM DUGAN. MAY I HELP YOU?

IT'’S O.K., TOM. SHE WORKS FOR SIMON WARE.

I HAVE A MESSAGE FROM MR. WARE.

HE WANTS TO TALK TO THE POLICE.

HE SPECIFIED WHICH POLICE HE HAD IN MIND?

NO. HE JUST DIDN'’T WANT JODY ALONG THIS TIME.

I'’D BE HAPPY TO TALK TO HIM, MILLIE.

[TOM] YEAH. ME, TOO.

TOM, THERE'’S NO NEED.

JUST FOR FUN.

LEAD THE WAY, MILLIE.

LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT BOTH OF US.

[SOFTLY] STAY HERE.

MR. WARE.

MR. WARE, SOME PEOPLE NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

YOU CAN TALK TO HIM, BUT DON'’T GO PAST THIS LINE.

MORNING, MR. WARE.

I'’M TOM DUGAN. REMEMBER ME?

ONE OF JOHNNY DUGAN'’S BOYS.

MISS MILLIE SAYS YOU WANT TO TALK TO US.

KEEP BACK BEHIND THE LINE.

EXCUSE ME.

MR. WARE, WE HAVE FOUND THE REMAINS OF HUMAN SKELETONS

ON YOUR PROPERTY.

ADAH BOONE!

PARDON ME?

THAT'’S WHO YOU WANT TO TALK TO.

SHE'’S CRAZY.

I TELL YOU--CRAZY.

CRAZY, EVIL WOMAN!

AND YOU'’RE SAYING?

I SAW HER.

SAW HER FEED HER NEWBORN PIGS TO HER SOWS.

FED PIGS THEIR OWN YOUNG.

AS I SAID, MR. WARE,

WE FOUND THE REMAINS OF HUMAN SKELETONS ON YOUR PROPERTY.

[WARE]YOU'’RE BLACK.

HMM... ARE YOU A POLICEMAN?

I AM CHIEF OF DETECTIVES OF THE SPARTA POLICE DEPARTMENT, YES.

SHE'’S A BUTCHER.

SHE SLAUGHTERS PIGS, AND SHE LIKES IT.

THINK ABOUT IT, CHIEF OF DETECTIVES.

WELL, IRMA,

YOUR BABIES ARE GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER EVERY DAY.

PRETTY SOON THEY WON'’T NEED NO MAMA NO MORE,

AND ADAH'’S GOING TO HAVE TO GET HER SPECIAL KNIFE.

YOU WON'’T FEEL NOTHING BUT A LITTLE STING

FOR A FEW SECONDS,

THEN YOU'’LL BE UP THERE WITH THE REST OF YOUR ANCESTORS.

[CAR DOOR SLAMMING]

UH, MISS BOONE!

WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD COME DOWN TO THE STATION

AND TALK WITH US.

BUBBA SKINNER, IT'’S TIME YOU GOT MARRIED AND SETTLED DOWN.

CAN'’T FIGHT IT FOREVER.

THANKS, DR. ROBB.

DR. ROBB SAYS FROM THE BONES THE GUYS FOUND,

HE NOW HAS EVIDENCE OF THREE SEPARATE BODIES

ALL FROM THE LAST 7 TO 10 YEARS.

YOU BETTER CHECK MISSING PERSONS REPORTS.

I HAVE.

RIGHT THIS WAY, MISS BOONE.

HERE YOU GO. ADAH BOONE, STRAIGHT FROM THE PIG YARD.

WE NEED TO TALK.

[ADAH] WHAT'’S GOING ON?

A GOOD CHRISTIAN WOMAN HAULED IN LIKE A COMMON CRIMINAL!

I'’VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO.

I GOT MY WORK.

I GOT MY PIGS TO TEND TO.

SIT DOWN. BE QUIET.

DON'’T WANT TO.

LOOK, YOU MAY BE QUEEN OF THE HILL IN THE WOODS,

BUT AROUND HERE, I'’M THE BOSS. SIT DOWN.

I'’M STANDING.

FINE. I DON'’T CARE.

WE GOT SOME QUESTIONS.

THE SOONER YOU ANSWER, THE SOONER YOU CAN LEAVE.

I GOT NO MIND TO BE ASKED A BUNCH OF SILLY QUESTIONS,

SO I'’LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW.

SIMON WARE IS CRAZIER THAN A MAGPIE IN AUGUST.

HE HAS BEEN SINCE HIS WIFE, LUCY, DIED, NEARLY 30 YEARS AGO,

GIVING BIRTH TO YOUNG JODY.

THANKS FOR THAT BRAND-NEW INFORMATION.

HOW ABOUT TELLING ME SOMETHING I CAN USE?

OH, I WILL.

YOU THINK HE'’S AN INVALID,

HOLED UP IN THAT HOUSE WHERE THE LIGHT NEVER HITS?

[SCOFFS] NO, NO. I SEEN HIM AT NIGHT IN THE WOODS,

PROWLING AROUND.

OH, SURE YOU HAVE.

WHEN HAVE YOU SEEN HIM OUT THERE?

[ADAH] HE PRETENDS TO BE AN INVALID, YOU SEE.

GETS HISSELF THOSE PRETTY YOUNG THINGS HE CALLS NURSES.

ONE AFTER THE OTHER

AFTER THE OTHER.

COULD YOU COME TO YOUR POINT A LITTLE FASTER?

IF YOU WEREN'’T IN SUCH A HURRY, MR. NO-NONSENSE DUGAN,

YOU MIGHT ASK YOURSELF A QUESTION.

HMM?

[ADAH] THOSE BODIES YOU BEEN FINDING IN MY WOODS,

HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE FEMALE?

MILLIE! HELLO. HOW ARE YOU?

I'’M FINE. THANKS.GOOD.

HEY THERE!

HI.HI.

[ MILLIE] CAN I TALK TO YOU?

SURE. SURE. SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN.

WANT ANYTHING TO EAT?NO, THANKS.

HOLLER IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND.

SO, UH, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

BUBBA, IN HIGH SCHOOL, I ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO YOU.

YOU WERE THE BIG BROTHER I WISHED I'’D HAD.

I WISH I COULD SAY I THOUGHT OF YOU AS A SISTER,

BUT IT WASN'’T WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH MY MIND.

WELL, BUBBA, I NEED A BIG BROTHER NOW--

SOMEBODY I CAN TALK SOME THINGS OUT WITH.

O.K.

O.K.

IT'’S ABOUT MR. WARE.

I KNOW WHAT EVERYBODY IN TOWN THINKS OF ME FOR LIVING WITH HIM,

BUT FOR ME THIS JOB WAS A GODSEND.

I COULDN'’T TURN IT DOWN.

HE SAID IF I STAYED WITH HIM

AND TOOK CARE OF HIM FOR TWO YEARS,

HE'’D PAY ME $250,000.

OOH! THAT'’S A LOT OF MONEY.

ONLY NOW HE WANTS ME TO STAY AN EXTRA YEAR.

HE WANTS TO TRAVEL, AND HE WANTS ME TO GO ALONG.

I DON'’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WELL, I GUESS YOU GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH IT'’S WORTH

TO DO WHATEVER YOU DO FOR HIM.

I KNOW NOBODY BELIEVES THIS,

BUT HE NEVER TOUCHES ME.

YOU DON'’T HAVE TO TELL ME ALL THIS.

YEAH, I DO THINGS FOR HIM.

I DRESS FOR HIM IN CERTAIN WAYS.

HE HAS SPECIAL THINGS HE LIKES ME TO WEAR--

THINGS HE ORDERS FROM CATALOGS.

SOMETIMES I JUST WALK AROUND.

SOMETIMES I SING HIM A SONG.

I MAKE UP STORIES HE LIKES TO HEAR.

SOMETIMES HE'’LL ASK ME TO RUB SOMETHING ON HIM--

OH, MILLIE, YOU DON'’T HAVE TO TELL ME THIS.

BUBBA, THE POINT IS, THAT'’S ALL I DO.

MILLIE, WHAT I THINK YOU HAVE TO DO...

IS LOOK INSIDE YOUR HEART AND ASK YOURSELF,

"IS WHAT I'’M DOING RIGHT?"

AND IF THE ANSWER'’S YES...

THEN TO HELL WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS.

THANK YOU.

[OWL HOOTING]

PARKER, I DON'’T BELIEVE YOU TALKED ME

INTO COMING OUT HERE THIS NIGHT.

SHUSH. YOU WANT HER TO HEAR SOMETHING?

[TWIG SNAPS]

LISTEN.

LISTEN TO WHAT?

I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMETHING.

THAT PIG WOMAN'’S GOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS.

I'’M POSITIVE.

WE'’LL STAKE HER OUT AND GET THE GOODS ON HER,

AND THAT WILL SHOW WILSON SWEET

WHO'’S AN ACE AND WHO'’S NOT.

THAT'’S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, YOU FEUDING WITH SWEET?

[TWIG SNAPS]SHH!

I THOUGHT I SAW SOMEBODY.

THERE'’S SOMEBODY OVER THERE.

SHE'’S MOVING FASTER.

LET'’S GO. LET'S GO.

[SINISTER LAUGH]

[LAUGHING]

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOURSELVES.

I SHOULD HAVE VIDEOTAPED THAT.

I'’LL SHOW YOU A JOKE, YOU LAMEBRAIN!

HO, HO, HO!

I'’M GOING TO GET YOU,

IF IT'’S THE LAST THING I EVER DO!

[BOTH GRUNT]

AAH!WHAT?

YOU O.K.?

DID I HURT YOU?

NO. I TOUCHED SOMETHING OVER HERE.

JAMISON, SHINE YOUR LIGHT OVER HERE.

WELL, VIRGIL, WE GOT MOST OF IT UNCOVERED.

MAN, THIS SURE DOES STINK.

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THAT BODY'’S BEEN THERE?

JUDGING FROM THE DECOMPOSITION, BUBBA,

SIX OR EIGHT MONTHS.

IT SURE IS A MESS.

YEAH. YEAH, IT'’S A MESS ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, WE THOUGHT THESE WERE MULTIPLE MURDERS FROM THE PAST,

BUT IF THESE BODIES ARE CONNECTED,

OUR KILLER COULD STILL BE OPERATING.

BE GLAD YOU DIDN'’T HAVE TO HELP US DIG UP THAT BODY.

IT WAS A MESS.

[JAMISON] THAT'’S FOR SURE.

STILL, I'’D RATHER BE DOING SOMETHING

THAN SITTING HERE ANSWERING PHONES.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO DO WHAT THEY CAN'’T DO, PARKER,

AND LET'’S FACE IT--

WATER SEEKS ITS OWN LEVEL.

WHAT'’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

MAYBE YOU'’RE NOT CUT OUT TO HANDLE THE DESK, EITHER.

THAT'’S RIGHT. I'M NOT.

I'’M NOT CUT OUT TO BE A RECEPTIONIST.

I'’M CUT OUT TO BE A DETECTIVE.

MM-HMM.

[PARKER] WHOA, MR. WARE.

LET ME TELL HIM YOU'’RE HERE.I'’LL TELL HIM.

WAIT!

CAPTAIN DUGAN, MR., TIBBS...

I JUST HEARD SOMETHING I WISH I HADN'’T.

I DIDN'’T THINK I SHOULD TACKLE HIM, SO HE GOT THROUGH.

THAT'’S O.K., PARKER.

WHAT'’S THE PROBLEM, JODY?

DID ADAH BOONE SAY MY PAPA WAS INVOLVED IN THOSE MURDERS?

IS THAT SO?

WHAT GOES ON IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS IS PRIVILEGED INFORMATION.

SO SHE DID.

WHY WOULD SHE SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

MY PAPA WAS ALWAYS GOOD TO HER.

HE LET HER LIVE OFF HIS OWN LAND.

I CAN'’T BELIEVE THIS.

[TOM] SETTLE DOWN.

NATURALLY, THIS INVESTIGATION'’S GOING TO CONCERN YOUR FATHER.

IT'’S HIS LAND THESE BODIES WERE FOUND ON.

YEAH. I'’M SORRY.

I WAS JUST HOPING I COULD GET BACK CLOSE WITH MY PAPA.

[VIRGIL] WHAT HAPPENED?

WHY DOES YOUR FATHER HATE YOU SO MUCH?

I DON'’T KNOW.

LORD KNOWS I TRIED.

EVEN WHEN I WAS LITTLE,

I WANTED SO MUCH FOR HIM TO LOVE ME,

BUT INSIDE, I KNEW HE DIDN'’T.

[TOM] HE'’S A DIFFICULT MAN.

HE ALWAYS WAS.

SOME MEN JUST CAN'’T LOVE.

YOU'’VE GOT TO LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE.

YEAH. I SHOULD HAVE LEFT SPARTA A LONG TIME AGO.

BUT I KEPT THINKING THAT...

MAYBE IF I STUCK IT OUT,

MAYBE HE'’D CHANGE.

YOU KNOW, I KEEP THINKING...

WHAT IF HE DIES

AND WE'’VE NEVER SAID A KIND WORD TO EACH OTHER?

WOULDN'’T THAT BE A TERRIBLE THING?

YOUR OWN FATHER.

[WHISTLING]

UM... EXCUSE ME, UH, MR. WARE.

UH, MY NAME'’S PARKER WILLIAMS.

I DON'’T THINK YOU KNOW ME,

BUT I USED TO CUT YOUR DADDY'’S GRASS.

[JODY] YEAH. SURE.

I USED TO THROW BAILING WIRE IN THE YARD

SO IT WOULD SNARL THE LAWN MOWER.

I'’M SORRY.

IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME.

OH, THAT'’S ALL RIGHT.

IT WAS GOOD SEEING YOU.YEAH. YOU TAKE CARE.

[WHISTLING]

WELL...WELL, WHAT?

WHAT WERE YOU TALKING TO HIM ABOUT?

OH, THAT WAS JUST PART OF MY INVESTIGATION.

INVESTIGATION?

YOU'’RE SO FULL OF IT, YOU'’RE ABOUT TO BLOW UP.

NOW, WHAT WERE YOU TALKING TO HIM ABOUT?

MR. SWEET, A GOOD DETECTIVE

PRESERVES THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF HIS SOURCES.

EXCUSE ME.

I DON'’T UNDERSTAND IT.

PAPA'’S ALWAYS BEEN GOOD TO YOU.

WHY DID YOU SAY THOSE THINGS ABOUT HIM?

YOU NEVER DO GIVE UP ON HIM, DO YOU?

WELL, HOW CAN I?

HE'’S MY FATHER.

[ADAH] SURE, HE PROVIDED THE SEED,

AND IF GIVING YOU FOOD AND SHELTER

CONSTITUTES BEING A FATHER,

I GUESS THAT'’S WHAT HE IS.

WHATEVER HE IS, HE'’S NOT A MURDERER.

HOW COULD YOU SAY THOSE THINGS ABOUT HIM?

JODY...

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYONE ON EARTH.

I HAVE SINCE I BROUGHT YOU ONTO THIS EARTH

NEAR 30 YEARS AGO.

IT SEEMS YOU WERE BORN TO SUFFER--

YOUR MAMA DYING WHEN YOU WERE BORN

AND MR. WARE TREATING YOU LIKE SOME KIND OF OUTCAST.

THERE'’S SOMETHING I NEVER TOLD YOU.

I NEVER TOLD NOBODY.

I WAS THE MIDWIFE WHEN YOUR MAMA WENT INTO LABOR.

IT WAS A HARD ONE.

LONG...

POOR THING WAS IN TERRIBLE PAIN.

THEN SHE STARTED HEMORRHAGING.

BLOOD STARTED TO COME, WOULDN'’T STOP.

I COULDN'’T STOP IT.

DIDN'’T YOU CALL A DOCTOR?

NO. YOUR PAPA, HE WOULDN'’T LET ME.

HE PULLED THE PHONE RIGHT OUT OF THE WALL

AND TOLD ME TO GO GET YOU CLEANED UP.

THEN HE WENT TO THE SIDE OF THE BED,

STOOD THERE,

AND WATCHED THE LIFE DRAIN OUT OF YOUR MAMA,

HER GETTING ALL CHALKY WHITE.

OH, NO.

AND THEN SHE DIED.

HE'’S A MURDERER, JODY.

THAT'’S HOW I KNOW HE CAN KILL,

HOW I KNOW HE'’S A DANGEROUS MAN.

WHY DIDN'’T YOU TELL THE POLICE?

HE SAID THEY'’D BLAME ME,

AND I BELIEVED HIM.

AFTER ALL, HE WAS SIMON WARE...

AND I WAS JUST A POOR FARM GIRL.

OH, GOD, HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN?

GET OUT OF SPARTA.

GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE.

YOU STAY HERE, HIS EVIL WILL CONTAMINATE YOU.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SAY YOU'’RE CRAZY

AND YOU'’RE MEAN...

BUT YOU'’VE ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD FRIEND TO ME,

AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT, MISS ADAH.

TRULY, I DO.

'’CAUSE YOU GIVE ME THE TRUTH.

[ALTHEA] IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH STORIES

ABOUT DISMEMBERED BODIES.

HONEY, SOME OF THESE KIDS

ARE ACTUALLY HAVING NIGHTMARES.

IT JUST AMAZES ME

HOW KIDS CAN PICK UP ON GROWN-UP ANXIETIES.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

OH, NO.

YOU GET IT.

I AM GOING TO BED.[LAUGHING]

OOH!

O.K., O.K., O.K.

OH.

PARKER, COME IN. COME IN.

EVENING, DETECTIVE.

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU AT HOME.

NO PROBLEM. WHAT'’S UP?

I KNOW THE PROPER CHAIN OF COMMAND

WOULD BE FOR ME TO GO TO CAPTAIN TOM--

I'’M CHIEF OF DETECTIVES.

I'’M RUNNING THIS INVESTIGATION.

INFORMATION CAN COME THROUGH ME.GREAT.

YOU REMEMBER CHARLIE HOBBS,

THE KID WHOSE DOG FOUND THE FIRST LEG BONE?

YEAH.[TELEPHONE RINGS]

I'’VE CHECKED AND FOUND HE HAS A RECORD IN TENNESSEE

FOR ASSAULT AND BATTERY OF FEMALES.

REALLY?YES, SIR.

THAT'’S INTERESTING.

HAS HE SERVED TIME?WELL--

[ALTHEA] VIRGIL...

IT'’S BUBBA. IT'’S IMPORTANT.

HI, MA'’AM.

BUBBA, SO, YEAH?

OH, NO.

YEAH, WE'’LL BE RIGHT THERE.

PARKER'’S HERE.

O.K. 15 MINUTES.

THANKS.

[EXHALES]

THAT INFORMATION YOU GAVE ME IS PRETTY IMPORTANT,

BUT CONSIDERING WHAT JUST HAPPENED,

IT'’S SUPERFLUOUS.

WHO FOUND HER?

YOUR FRIEND AND MINE, WILSON SWEET.

A DAMN FINE PIECE OF POLICE WORK, TOO.

WELL, SOMETIMES IT'’S JUST LUCK, I GUESS.

CAME UP HERE ON A HUNCH.

I GOT TO THINKING.

THE TOOLS SHE USED TO SLAUGHTER THOSE PIGS

WERE LIKE THE ONES USED ON THE BODIES.

SHE DIDN'’T ANSWER THE DOOR.

I SAW THIS LIGHT, AND THERE SHE WAS.

SWEET, YOU STILL BELIEVE IT WAS A SUICIDE?

I THINK IT'’S PRETTY OBVIOUS.

LOOK AT THESE TOOLS.

ANY ONE OF THEM MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE MURDER WEAPON.

WE'’RE TALKING ABOUT A PERSON

WITH A GUILTY CONSCIENCE,

A PERSON THAT KNEW WE WERE CLOSING IN.

SO SHE CLIMBED UP THOSE STEPS...

AND TOOK THAT LAST LEAP INTO OBLIVION.

ANYONE ELSE AGREE WITH THAT?

POOR OLD LADY WAS RUNNING A QUART LOW.

NOTHING SHE'’D DO WOULD SURPRISE ME.

YEAH. OH... WHAT ABOUT YOU, PARKER?

I FIGURED SHE WAS DIRTY LONG BEFORE SWEET,

SO I WAS STAKIN'’ HER OUT

BEFORE SOMEBODY MESSED THAT UP.

I FOUND THE BODY

AND CORRECTLY DEDUCED SHE KILLED HERSELF

RATHER THAN SPEND LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT HER PIGS.

WELL, UH, SWEET, THAT'’S A LOGICAL DEDUCTION.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT'’S DEAD WRONG.

ADAH BOONE WAS MURDERED.

[VIRGIL] YOU SEE THE SCRATCHES HERE

AND THE BRUISES AROUND THE KNUCKLES?

THEY'’RE DEFENSIVE WOUNDS.

YOU'’RE SAYING SHE FOUGHT SOMEBODY?

OH, EXACTLY.

SHE STILL COULD'’VE COMMITTED SUICIDE.

SHE COULD HAVE FOUGHT SOMEONE

AND THEN COULD'’VE HUNG HERSELF.

SHE COULD HAVE...

BUT SHE DIDN'’T.

LOOK AT THE LIGATURE MARKS AROUND THE NECK.

PARKER, YOU WANT TO BE A DETECTIVE.

NOTICE ANYTHING STRANGE?

STRANGE?

NO, SIR,

NOT REALLY WHAT YOU'’D CALL STRANGE.

[VIRGIL]O.K.

NOW, I'’M GOING TO TEACH YOU A LESSON

I HOPE YOU NEVER FORGET.

TEACH ME?

NOW, ONE DEMONSTRATION IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS--

EXACTLY THE WAY I LEARNED IT.

YOU SOUND LIKE MY OLD CHEMISTRY TEACHER--

NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT DUDE, EITHER.

[VIRGIL] O.K., PARKER, YOU FEELING ANYTHING?

I'’M DIZZY.

HE'’S TALKING ABOUT THE POSITION OF THE ROPE ON YOUR NECK.

YOU FEEL IT?

O.K., NOW, IT'’S SQUEEZING THE SKIN RIGHT UNDER YOUR JAWBONE.

NOW, THE KNOT WOULD BE WAY UP HERE BY MY HAND.

WHEN SOMEONE HANGS HIMSELF,

THE LIGATURE MARK ANGLES UP SHARPLY,

NOT STRAIGHT AROUND THE NECK LIKE ON THIS WOMAN.

WOULDN'’T YOU SAY SO?

YOU'’RE THE FORENSIC EXPERT.

O.K. SO ADAH BOONE WAS STRANGLED FIRST,

THEN HUNG.

THAT'’S MURDER, NOT SUICIDE.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

DETECTIVE...

DETECTIVE.YEAH?

OH! PARKER.

WHEW!

[PARKER CLEARS THROAT]

UH...

DETECTIVE, UH, YOU REMEMBER WHAT I SAID ABOUT CHARLIE HOBBS

HAVING A RECORD FOR ASSAULT AND BATTERY?

YEAH.

WE'’D BETTER FIND OUT WHERE HE WAS TODAY.

[VIRGIL] MMM. I SEE.

WHO ELSE DID YOU TALK TO?

AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT?

O.K.

THANKS.

THAT TAKES CARE OF CHARLIE HOBBS.

HE'’S BEEN IN BATON ROUGE SINCE YESTERDAY.

SORRY, PARKER.

SO AM I.

TOO BAD, PARKER.

NICE TRY, THOUGH.

YEAH.

RIGHT.

[TOM] TOLD YOU IT WAS GOING TO POUR.

YOU MAY KNOW THAT FORENSIC STUFF,

BUT I BE KNOWIN'’ ABOUT THE WEATHER.

THAT MAKES US SOME SORT OF A TEAM.

HERE'’S A POSITIVE DENTAL I.D.

ON THAT BODY FOUND OUT IN THE WOODS.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

YOU'’RE KIDDING.

THAT'’S WHAT I THOUGHT.

SO I DOUBLE-CHECKED.

I EVEN GOT HIS DENTIST.

IT'’S HIM. THERE'’S NO MISTAKE.

TELL ME WHAT Y'’ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT.

YEAH. I'’M NOT SURE I KNOW,

BUT...I KNOW WHERE WE CAN FIND OUT.

SORRY TO BARGE IN, BUT WE HAVE TO SEE SIMON WARE.

I'’M SORRY, THAT'’S IMPOSSIBLE.

HE'’S UPSET THE LIGHTS WENT OFF BECAUSE OF THE STORM.

THE LIGHTS ARE ON EVERYPLACE ELSE IN TOWN.

CALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPANY WHILE WE TALK TO HIM.

SIMON WARE, SPARTA POLICE DEPARTMENT! URGENT BUSINESS!

I THINK HE SAID COME IN, DON'’T YOU?

EVENING, MR. WARE.

SORRY TO BUST IN LIKE THIS.

WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

[SIMON] I SUPPOSE YOU'’RE HERE ABOUT THE LIGHTS.

NO. THAT WOULD BE THE ELECTRIC COMPANY.

WE'’RE POLICE.

WE'’RE HERE ABOUT A WHOLE SLEW OF MURDERS.

GO ARREST ADAH BOONE.

OH, WE CAN'’T.

SHE'’S DEAD.

I BET I KNOW.

SHE GOT EATEN BY HER PIGS.

[LAUGHING]

A REAL FUNNY SIGHT.

ALL THOSE FAT LITTLE PIGS EATING ADAH BOONE.

[LAUGHING]

SHE'’S BEEN KILLED, MR. WARE.

SOMEONE MURDERED HER AND TRIED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE SUICIDE.

SOME VERY PECULIAR THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING ON HERE--

LIKE, TWO DAYS AGO,

WE FOUND A PARTIALLY DECOMPOSED BODY

OUT IN THE WOODS NEAR YOUR HOUSE.

OUR PATHOLOGIST MADE AN I.D., USING DENTAL RECORDS.

GUESS WHO IT WAS, MR. WARE.

HE SAID IT WAS YOU, MR. WARE.

[VIRGIL]SO, OUR QUESTION IS, HOW CAN SIMON WARE BE DEAD,

AND YET STILL SITTING HERE IN A CHAIR TALKING TO US?

[GRUNTS]

WELL, THIS SICK OLD MAN GET AROUND PRETTY GOOD, NOW.

WELL, WELL, JODY WARE.

KILLED YOUR FATHER AND BURIED HIM OUT BY THAT OLD HOUSE, HUH?

WELL, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'’RE REALLY BRILLIANT.

HE IS, BUT I'’M NOT.

SO YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHY.

MY FATHER LET MY MOTHER BLEED TO DEATH

WHEN I WAS BORN,

AND I'’VE HATED HIM EVERY DAY SINCE.

[JODY] IS THAT EASY ENOUGH FOR YOU?

HE LET HER DIE?

[JODY] HE SAID SHE WAS INSANE.

HE HAD TO KEEP HER LOCKED UP, HE SAID,

BECAUSE SHE TRIED TO KILL HIM.

AND ME, SHE TRIED TO ABORT HER OWN SON.

HE TOLD YOU THAT, JODY?

ON MY 16th BIRTHDAY PARTY...

HE SAID I WAS CRAZY...

JUST AS CRAZY AS MY MOTHER...

BUT IT WAS HE WHO MADE US THAT WAY.

SO ALL THE OTHER BONES, ALL THE REMAINS...

I KILLED THEM ALL.

THEY'’RE ALL OVER THE PLACE OUT THERE.

ALL THOSE TRANSIENTS FROM THE RAILROAD.

I GOT THE FIRST ONE RIGHT AFTER MY 16TH BIRTHDAY PARTY...

JUST TO SEE IF PAPA WAS RIGHT,

AND I FOUND I ENJOYED IT.

THERE'’S NOTHING--

THERE'’S--

THERE'’S NOTHING QUITE LIKE IT--

A GOOD KILL ON A COLD WINTER'’S NIGHT.

YO.

MR. TIBBS, LOOK WHAT WE FOUND RUNNING ACROSS THE BACKYARD.

[PARKER] SHE WAS IN A REAL HURRY TO GET SOMEPLACE FAST,

WEREN'’T YOU, MILLIE?

I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

HE PAID ME TO PRETEND LIKE HIS FATHER WAS ALIVE.

WHAT'’S THE HARM IN THAT?

LITTLE GIRLS WHO LIE GET PUNISHED, MILLIE.

WE OUGHT TO THROW YOU TO ADAH BOONE'’S PIGS.

JUST SHUT UP, BOY.

CUFF HIM AND READ HIM HIS RIGHTS.

DETECTIVE, HERE IT IS--

THE REPORT ON THE WARE CASE.

HERE'’S MY REPORT ON THE CASE.

IN A MINUTE.

IT'’S GREED, YOU KNOW.

UH, GREED?YES, SIR.

MOST CRIMINALS TRIP UP OVER GREED THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

GREED'’S GOOD, BUT IN THIS CASE, IT'’S STUPIDITY.

YOU CAN'’T CALL JODY WARE STUPID.

I MEAN HE HAD EVERYBODY FOOLED.

HE WAS DRAWING OFF HIS FATHER'’S ASSETS LITTLE BY LITTLE.

NOBODY WAS EVEN SUSPICIOUS.

WHAT'’S STUPID IS HE SHOULD HAVE LEFT BEFORE HE GOT CAUGHT.

THE FULL, CORRECT VERSION IS IN MY REPORT.

IF YOU WANT AN ACCURATE ACCOUNT,

YOU'’LL FIND IT IN MY REPORT.

O.K., THANK YOU BOTH.

THANK YOU BOTH.

O.K., LET'’S SEE.

NOT BAD.

THESE AREN'’T BAD.

ACTUALLY, THEY'’RE VERY GOOD.

BUT THE GREATEST CONTRIBUTION YOU TWO MADE ON THIS WHOLE CASE

WAS WHEN YOU BOTH HAULED MILLIE BARNETT IN BEFORE SHE COULD ESCAPE,

AND THAT,

YOU TWO DID TOGETHER AS A TEAM.
