OH. YES, MA'AM.

I UNDERSTAND.

BUT I CAN'T GIVE OUT ANY INFORMATION UNLESS THE CH--

NOW, WAIT A COTTON-PICKING MINUTE.

WHAT YOU SAID AIN'T NICE. JUST HOLD ON.

EXCUSE ME, CHIEF.

BUBBA'S LANDLADY IS ON THE LINE.

NOW I DON'T WANNA BREAK ANY RULES,

BUT CAN I TELL HER WHERE BUBBA'S AT?

HOW YOU KNOW IT'S HER?

SHE ALWAYS CALLS ME A JACKASS.

[GIGGLING]

NOW, SHE'S A LITTLE BIT WORRIED.

SHE'S EXPECTING BUBBA TO BE HOME ABOUT 9:00.

TELL HER HE'S OUT OF TOWN.

CAN I TELL HER WHERE?

WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE UNTIL HE CALLS.

TELL HER LOS ANGELES.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR.

NOW, KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN,

AND I'LL HAVE JAMISON CHECK WITH Y'ALL.

YES, SIR.

WELL, YOU CAN SEE OUR LIMITS, MR. JAMES.

OUR UNDERCOVER AGENTS ARE POLICE OFFICERS

WHOM I TELL TO PUT THE CIVVIES ON.

DO PEOPLE KNOW?

IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, SIR.

IT'S AMUSING. AT A TIME WHEN WE NEED

ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET FROM Y'ALL,

TO HAVE THE FBI DEMAND WE HELP THEM.

ONLY WAY TO ATTACK THE MONSTER.

YOU AND MR. TIBBS CAN SHOOT BUCKSHOT AT HIS TAIL.

WE WANT TO HIT HIM IN THE HEAD. WORK WITH US.

YOU SEEM TO BE SAYING LAY OFF ANYONE

WHO LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE A PART OF THE MOB.

JUST PICK UP THE TELEPHONE, CALL US,

AND FORGET IT.

I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

WE CAN'T DEFER ACTION.

CONSULT IS ALL WE ASK.

WELL, HERE'S A CASE IN POINT.

THERE'S A PICTURE OF A BUILDING

BEFORE IT WAS BURNED DOWN.

IT'S GONE NOW, BUT THE FIRE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT.

THAT WAS A CRIMINAL FIRE--

WHAT WE USED TO CALL A SUCCESSFUL FIRE, AN INSURANCE FIRE,

BUT IT KILLED TWO PEOPLE.

WE CAN'T CALL YOU

AND SAY, "MAY WE GO AFTER THE ARSONIST?"

WE TRY HIM FOR MURDER WHEN WE GET HIM BACK.

WHERE IS HE NOW?

RIGHT NOW?

HE IS WAY OUT IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET A CALL

FROM THIS COP COMING IN FROM MISSISSIPPI.

HAVE YOU HEARD FROM HIM?

MM-HMM.

WELL, I'LL GO LOOK FOR HIM.

YEAH, I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER. BYE.

LIEUTENANT SKINNER?

HOW YOU DOING? I'M EMMET TULLY OF PASCAGOULA.

WE'LL HAVE A DEPUTY MEET YOU AT THE AIRPORT

TO HELP YOU MOVE THAT PRISONER.

THAT FLIGHT LEAVES AT 2:30. WILL I MAKE IT?

SURE YOU WILL. THE HEARING STARTS IN THREE MINUTES.

GET YOUR STUFF.

HOW WAS YOUR FLIGHT, O.K.?

YEAH, ALL RIGHT.

READY TO TAKE A PLANE TRIP, WALLACE?

WHY YOU WANT TO HANG ME, BUBBA SKINNER?

WE DON'T DO THAT NO MORE.

YEAH. THEY GIVE THE NEEDLE NOW, DON'T THEY?

YEAH, WE DO THAT.

CAN'T Y'ALL LET ME LIVE?

DIDN'T MEAN NO HARM.

SHUT UP, FANNOY.

I'LL TELL YOU WHEN AND WHO TO TALK TO.

I THOUGHT I WASN'T COMING BACK.

YOU PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO FIX THINGS--

EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE.

I'M GONE, BABY.

GONE.

WELL, HOW NICE OF YOU TO JOIN US.

DON'T START WITH ME.

THE COP FROM MISSISSIPPI

THAT'S SUPPOSED TO ARREST OUR ARSONIST JUST WENT IN.

OH?

HERE. THE POLICE CHIEF SENT YOU THIS.

BUBBA SKINNER?

WE NEED A GUY LIKE THIS--

A SIMPLE, STRAIGHT-SHOOTING COUNTRY BOY.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE ALL THE INVESTIGATIVE WORK WE'VE GOT.

THANK YOU.

AND I'M VERY PRO-FEMALE. I--

THAT IS A SHAMELESS LIE.

YOU ARE ANYTHING BUT PRO-FEMALE.

LET'S JUST SAY,

I'D LIKE TO HIRE A MAN, THE RIGHT MAN.

IS THAT A FEDERAL RAP?

IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW.

HUH.

SIT DOWN.

NOW, THEN,

REPRESENTING THE ALLEGED FUGITIVE FROM MISSISSIPPI IS WHO?

I, YOUR HONOR, STANLEY L. GARISH.

AND YOU REPRESENT, UH...

L.A. DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, JUDGE.

I'M BENITO REY.

I'M FROM MISSISSIPPI, YOUR HONOR.

EMMET TULLY, ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL,

AND THIS IS LIEUTENANT SKINNER,

SPARTA, MISSISSIPPI, UH, POLICE.

LIEUTENANT SKINNER IS HERE WITH A SPECIAL WARRANT

ALLOWING HIM TO TAKE WALLACE FANNOY

BACK TO MISSISSIPPI, YOUR HONOR.

WHERE IS THIS WALLACE FANNOY?

HE LEFT SUDDENLY. I COULDN'T ASCERTAIN WHERE HE WENT TO.

HE JUMPED BAIL, JUDGE, OBVIOUSLY.

HE SHOULD'VE NEVER GOTTEN BAIL.

THAT'S ANOTHER JUDGE'S BUSINESS.

I WANT HIM EXTRADITED TO MISSISSIPPI.

SKINNER, HE'S YOURS IF YOU CAN CATCH HIM.

YOUR HONOR, SIR...

I EXPECT THE LAPD WILL ABLE TO CATCH HIM.

I DOUBT IT.

A MOMENT, PLEASE.

WHO ARE YOU, SIR?

I'M TOM VINCENT, APPLEY-BOYD LIMITED.

MY INSURANCE COMPANY PAID THE LOSS

ON THE SPARTA FIRE.

YOU OUT A LOT OF MONEY.

YES, AND WE'RE OUT TO GET THAT ARSONIST.

EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.

EXCUSE ME.

THIS IS PAT DAY, MY ASSISTANT.

HI.HELLO.

HOW DO YOU DO?

I WAS ABOUT TO CALL YOU.

CHIEF GILLESPIE SAID I SHOULD.

WHEN'S YOUR FLIGHT?RIGHT AWAY?

IT IS. 2:30 P.M. OUT OF JOHN WAYNE.

THAT'S IN ORANGE COUNTY.

YOU CAN TRAVEL QUICKER FROM HERE.

I KNOW, BUT THE DUKE WAS A HERO OF MINE.

I NEVER HAD THE HONOR OF MEETING HIM,

SO I'D JUST LIKE TO FLY OUT OF HIS AIRPORT.

EXCUSE ME.

ALLIE JONES, L.A. TRIBUNE.

EXCUSE ME.IS THERE--

IS THERE ANY REASON THIS EXTRADITION THING SHOULD INTEREST ME?

IT'S A PRETTY SORRY CASE,

IF THAT INTERESTS YOU.

BURNED OUT BUILDING FOR INSURANCE.

PERPETRATOR, A BLACK GUY WHO DIDN'T TURN UP HERE.

THAT'S IT?

WELL, THAT'S PART OF IT, YEAH.

MAKES HIM A PRETTY BAD DUDE DOWN IN DIXIE.

YEAH, WELL,

WHEN A MAN BURNS TWO INNOCENT PEOPLE TO DEATH,

I'D SAY THAT MAKES HIM A BAD DUDE

PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE, WOULDN'T YOU?

LIEUTENANT, WE'VE GOT TO TALK.

EXCUSE US, PLEASE.

GUESS YOU DON'T SEE PLACES LIKE THESE IN MISSISSIPPI.

OH, NO, MA'AM.

ALLS WE GOT IN MISSISSIPPI IS THE ORIGINALS.

PAT: OH, TRANSPORTATION IS NO PROBLEM.

I CAN TAKE YOU TO THE AIRPORT.

MR. VINCENT WANTS TO KEEP ME HERE A WHILE.

LIEUTENANT SKINNER.

OUR FUGITIVE BROKE L.A. LAW.

BY THE TIME L.A. CATCHES HIM,

DECIDES WHERE HE'LL STAND TRIAL--

IT'LL TAKE A WHILE.

DON'T WORRY, I'LL LEAVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WHO'S WORRIED?

MAYBE I'M IMAGINING THINGS,

BUT I SURE FEEL YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE FAST.

I CAN ASSURE YOUR COMINGS AND GOINGS--

GILLESPIE'S ON THE PHONE.

YOU CAN TAKE IT AT THE DESK.

I TOLD HIM I'D LIKE TO PICK UP FANNOY

BEFORE THE L.A. COPS DO.

GET HIM BACK TO SPARTA.

THAT'S WHERE THE GUYS ARE WHO HIRED HIM.

YOU HAVE THE MOB IN THAT LITTLE TOWN?

THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES.

THEY SAY THEY'RE IN REAL ESTATE. EXCUSE ME.

I'VE GOT PICTURES OF THE FILE RIGHT HERE,

BUT ALL WE CAN CHARGE THE OWNERS WITH

IS CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE

TILL YOU BRING FANNOY BACK

AND WE CAN FILE CHARGES

OF ARSON AND FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.

YEAH.

I WANT YOU TO BE POLITE

TO TOM VINCENT, WILL YOU?

HE'S A PRETTY GOOD OLD BOY FOR A YANKEE.

48 YEARS, HUH? YOU GUYS GOOD BUDDIES THEN?

I DIDN'T CARE FOR HIM.

I WAS HIS SERGEANT,

BUT HE BEHAVED AS IF HE WAS MINE. VERY BOSSY MAN.

I KNOW SOMEBODY LIKE THAT.

BYE.

I'M ORDERING YOU TO WORK WITH THIS COUNTRY BOY.

ARE YOU ANTI-MALE?

IF I WERE, MY LIFE WOULD BE A LOT SIMPLER.

LET'S FIND FANNOY BEFORE SOMEBODY KILLS HIM.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO,

BIRD DOG MATT DILLON AROUND TOWN?

GILLESPIE SAYS HE HAS GOOD INSTINCTS.

JUST SHOW HIM THE INS AND OUTS.

I'M NOT A GOOD TEACHER.

BE A GOOD LEARNER.

MAYBE HE CAN TEACH YOU A FEW THINGS.

WELL?

CHIEF WANTS ME TO LOOK UP FANNOY'S LAWYER. WHAT'S HIS NAME?

STAN GARISH. YOU WON'T GET ANYTHING FROM HIM.

PAT IS GOING TO TAKE YOU

WHEREVER YOU WANT TO GO.

SURE.

WHERE TO FIRST?

UH, HOW ABOUT A CHEAP MOTEL?

WHOA. I DID NOT MEAN THAT THE WAY IT SOUNDED.

I JUST MEANT I WAS GOING TO BE NEEDING AN INEXPENSIVE ROOM.

HERE WE GO--LUNCH.

GOOD LORD ALMIGHTY, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?

I'D PUT KETCHUP ON THAT,

BUT I WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO STICK IT.

I SEE YOU GOT A CAMERA.

UH-HUH. YOU, UH, WANT A PICTURE OF US?

YEAH. FIRST SNAP THIS HAMBURGER HERE.

I'D LIKE A RECORD OF IT BEFORE I DESTROY IT.

DO WHAT HE WANTS. SHOOT THE HAMBURGER.

GET OUT OF HERE.

THAT'S SUITE 715. I'LL PARK AND MEET YOU.

HE'S RIGHT OVER THERE.

WHAT?

AIN'T THAT STAN GARISH

TALKING TO THE ADORABLE FELLOW

WITH THE LONG BLOND HAIR?

THAT'S ADORABLE?

I WAS THINKING OF THE WAY HIS MAMA SEES HIM.

STAY HERE.

WHAT WAS THAT?

NO NEED TO PARK. IT'LL JUST BE A MINUTE.

HEY, I'M PARKED IN THE RED.

SAY, MR. GARISH.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD HELP ME OUT.

THE POLICE GAVE ME THESE ADDRESSES FOR WALLACE FANNOY.

AND I WAS WONDERING ARE THEY RIGHT?

WELL, THIS IS WHERE HE ROOMS.

I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS SO WELL-ACQUAINTED IN L.A.

THREE ADDRESSES HARDLY MAKE HIM A MAN ABOUT TOWN.

YEAH, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.

HOW'D HE GET YOUR NUMBER...

WHEN HE WAS LOOKING FOR A LAWYER?

HE WAS A REFERRAL, I THINK.

I'M NOT SURE. SOMEBODY ELSE TOOK HIS CALL.

HMM...

KIND OF FUNNY, ISN'T IT?

THE FIRST CALL HE MAKES AFTER HE'S ARRESTED

IS TO YOU.

I'LL BET THIS HAPPENED--

HE CLOSED HIS EYES,

POKED HIS FINGERS IN THE YELLOW PAGES,

AND HIT YOUR NAME.

I'VE GOT APPOINTMENTS.

SEE YOU, FELLA.

HERE YOU ARE, MISS.

HAVE A NICE DAY.

THANKS SO MUCH.

I DID NOT NEED ANOTHER ONE OF THESE.

OH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

CAUGHT SOME OF THOSE MURDEROUS LOOKS.

LOOKS DON'T BOTHER ME.

IT'S WHEN THEY REACH FOR A CHAIN SAW OR AN AX.

THAT'S WHEN I GET EDGY.

WELL, NOW WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE?

I MEAN, UH...

YEAH, YEAH, WELL, CAN I CALL MISSISSIPPI THERE?

OH, SURE. BE A GUEST OF THE COMPANY.

O.K.

[BEEP]

JUST LOCAL PEOPLE GOING IN AND OUT, REAL ESTATE CUSTOMERS.

O.K.

ANY MOVEMENT YET?

UM...

OTHER ONE'S STILL OUT. WE PICKING ANYBODY UP?

NOTHING TO CHARGE HIM WITH

UNTIL BUBBA BRINGS FANNOY.

FANNOY AIN'T GOING BACK TO MISSISSIPPI, THAT'S FOR SURE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

THEY'RE JUST ASKING ABOUT HIM, THAT'S ALL.

ASK HER WHEN SHE LAST SEEN HIM.

LA ULTIMA VEZ QUE LO VEO?

ESTUVO AQUI AYER.

YESTERDAY.

WHO GOT HIM THE ROOM?

QUIEN LE CONSIGIO EL APARTAMENTO?

UN MEXICANO Y UN AMERICANO CON EL PELO LARGO.

THAT SOUNDS AN AWFUL LIKE OLD MR. ADORABLE,

DON'T IT?

MUCHAS GRACIAS, SEORA.

DE NADA, SEORA.

YEAH, UH, ADIOS, NOW.

ADIOS.

ADIOS.

THEY'RE LEAVING.

WHEN THEY GET TO HIS GIRL'S PLACE,

THE COPS WILL BE THERE.

DON'T WE KNOW EACH OTHER? I'M PAT DAY.

YEAH. I'M ED MILLS. HOW YOU DOING?

THIS MAY BE OUR CASE.

LIEUTENANT WALDEC'S INSIDE.

CAN SOMEBODY TELL HIM I'M HERE?

SURE. PARK ON THE LEFT.

COME ON IN.

HELLO, PAT.

IN ONE OF THESE BAGGIES IS A .38.

IT WAS IN HIS RIGHT HAND.

THERE WAS A NOTE SAYING HE SHOT HIMSELF.

THE NEIGHBORS SAW HIS GIRLFRIEND LEAVE.

THE NEIGHBORS REPORTED THE SHOT?

NO. THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES.

MM-MMM.

THIS AIN'T NO SUICIDE.

IS THAT ONE OF YOUR GOOD INSTINCTS I'VE HEARD ABOUT?

NOPE, JUST A STRONG IMPRESSION

THAT THE MAN DIDN'T WANT TO DIE.

YOU THAT OFFICER FROM SPARTA, MISSISSIPPI?

YES, I AM.

WELL, THIS NOTE SAYS SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING ABOUT YOU.

WHAT'S THAT?

THE NOTE SAYS THAT WALLACE FANNOY KILLED HIMSELF

BECAUSE LIEUTENANT SKINNER WOULDN'T LET HIM LIVE.

I NEED TO SPEAK TO HIM, PLEASE. MM-HMM. HELLO?

CHIEF GILLESPIE? THIS IS PAT DAY.

YOU WANT TO HOLD ON FOR LIEUTENANT SKINNER?

YEAH, CHIEF?

YEAH, BUBBA, THAT YOU?

THEY FOUND FANNOY DEAD IN HIS GIRLFRIEND'S APARTMENT.

OH, LORD.

WELL, I'M NOT SURPRISED.

GUESS WHO'S HERE WITH ME IN THE OFFICE.

CAME TO TALK TO ME ABOUT HIS BROTHER.

BUBBA: BOB FANNOY?

UH-HUH.

I'M GLAD I DON'T HAVE TO TELL HIM.

THERE WAS A SUICIDE NOTE

THAT BLAMED IT ON ME.

THERE'S NO SENSE IN YOU RUSHING BACK.

WE'VE GOT AS MUCH STAKE AS THE L.A. POLICE

IN FINDING OUT WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

YES, SIR, I UNDERSTAND.

STAY OUT THERE. MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL.

I WILL.

HELP TOMMY VINCENT ALL YOU CAN.

BUBBA: YEAH, GOTCHA.

YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

CHIEF, I DO UNDERSTAND YOU.

YEAH, YEAH. BYE, CHIEF.

WELL, BOB, I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS FOR YOU.

YEAH, PARKER, GET A LITTLE BIT OF THE TONIC.

UH, THAT PHONE CALL WAS FROM LIEUTENANT BUBBA SKINNER

OUT IN LOS ANGELES.

HE WAS TALKING ABOUT YOUR BROTHER WALLACE.

WALLACE IS DEAD, BOB.

HE SHOT HIMSELF.

THE APARTMENT WHERE THEY FOUND HIM

BELONGS TO SOME GIRL HE MET OUT THERE.

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR HER.

THAT AIN'T LIKE WALLACE TO DO THAT.

THEY DONE IT.

THEY DIDN'T WANT HIM TO COME BACK HERE

TO TALK TO YOU,

TO TALK TO THE D.A...

MAYBE TELL THE TRUTH.

WHO'S "THEY"?

"THEY" IS OUR FAVORITE FIRM

OF LAWYERS AND REAL ESTATE BROKERS OVER ON THE SQUARE--

COPPLEY AND EPP.

GET OUT THERE AND PARK THAT CAR!

PARK YOUR CAR WHILE YOU...

FROLIC INSIDE?

IT'S A MASSAGE PARLOR, ET CETERA,

HEAVY ON THE ET CETERA.

COME ON. YOU WON'T GET ANY INFORMATION HERE.

HOLD ON THERE NOW.

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT LAWYER GARISH.

DISCUSS IT IN A HOT TUB.

WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN A HOT TUB.

MAYBE ANOTHER COUPLE IN WITH YOU?

SAY WHAT?

IF YOU'RE LOSING INTEREST IN THINGS.

YOU OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW.

FIRST, AIN'T YOU A LITTLE TINY

TO BE RUNNING WITH THAT APE?

HE'S JUST A MUG.

YOUR MAMA KNOW YOU'RE HERE?

IF YOU FIND HER, I'LL TELL HER.

YEAH, WELL, UH, LOOKEE HERE...

YOU KEEP THE CHANGE,

AND TAKE CARE OF THIS CAR.

SURE.

ALL RIGHT.

I AIN'T NEVER SEEN THIS FACE.

I ALREADY TOLD THEM THAT.

BUT I AIN'T THE ONLY HOSTESS THAT WORKS HERE.

YOU MIND IF I TALK TO THE GIRLS

ON THE OFF CHANCE ONE OF THEM

KNOWS THE GIRL I'M LOOKING FOR?

OUR MASSEUSES IS BUSY

AND CAN'T BE STOPPED FOR ANYTHING.

MAYBE AT THE END OF SOMETHING?

YOU AIN'T NO L.A. COP.

NO. MISSISSIPPI.

THAT'S A RIVER.

BUBBA: RIGHT BY THE STATE OF THE SAME NAME.

HEY, LADY, WANT A MASSAGE?

RICHARD HERE SAYS HE'LL GIVE YOU ONE.

THANK YOU.

IS IT JUST ME,

OR IS THIS HERE A GOOFY ESTABLISHMENT?

RICHARD GIVES A GREAT MASSAGE.

I HAVE A BAD RASH.

OH, RICHARD WILL STAY AWAY FROM THE RASH.

OH, IT'S ALL OVER.

MA'AM, JUST SHOW THIS PICTURE AROUND.

RICHARD WANTS TO SEE THE RASH.

KEEP HIM AWAY FROM ME.

RICHARD'S BLACK BELT IN KARATE.

O.K., NOW, BOY--

YEAH, THIS IS A SILLY PLACE.

YOU HURT RICHARD BAD. LISTEN TO HIM.

NO. HE'S JUST GASPING FOR A LITTLE AIR.

HE'LL BE FINE.

NOW, PLEASE, WILL YOU HELP ME OUT?

O.K., THE GIRL THAT DATED THE MAN IN THAT PICTURE,

SHE CALLS HERSELF GILDA WHEN SHE SELLS IT HERE.

WHEN SHE DON'T SELL IT HERE,

SHE SELLS IT AT THE DINK CLUB.

GILDA.

[LAMBADA MUSIC PLAYS]

YOU, UH, WANT TO WAVE TO ANYBODY?

THE MEXICAN AND THE MENACE ARE SITTING BEHIND ME.

YEAH, I SAW THEM.

O.K., WE GOT A MAY ELLEN LEMOYNE.

THAT'S THE NAME HER APARTMENT WAS UNDER.

WE MIGHT BETTER ASK FOR HER

UNDER THE NAME SHE SELLS HERSELF UNDER.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

THE SOUND OF WHAT YOU SAID.

WELL, MA'AM, THAT IS THE STORY, ISN'T IT?

THE WOMAN DOES SELL HERSELF.

YEAH. THE WORDS... GIVE ME CHILLS.

WHY?

'CAUSE THEY'RE VERY COLD.

A CHARDONNAY AND AN ICED TEA.

$12 EVEN.

SOME CHIPS AND DIP?

THAT'S $3.20 MORE.

YOU WANT SOME CHIPS?

NOTHING TO EAT.

YOU'RE VERY WISE.

LOOKEE, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A GIRL NAMED GILDA

THAT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK HERE.

WE REFER REQUESTS LIKE THAT TO THE MANAGER.

YEAH.

I'M SORRY IF I COME ACROSS COLD.

IT'S JUST THAT I JUST CAN'T GO ALONG

WITH THE SELLING OF THE BODY.

I HAVE SYMPATHY FOR WOMEN THAT STUMBLE AND FALL.

WELL, I DO, TOO,

BUT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FALLING

AND THROWING YOURSELF DOWN.

DOWN IS DOWN, BUBBA.

HOW A GIRL GOT THERE IS HARD TO KNOW,

BUT YOU PUT YOUR HAND OUT TO ONE

AND TURN AWAY FROM ANOTHER?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS--

FIRST AT THE HEALTH CLUB AND NOW HERE.

WELL, THANK YOU. WHAT ELSE YOU GOT IN THE OLD SYNDICATE?

WORD'S TOO BIG FOR ME.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SEE GILDA?

ASK HER WHY FANNOY'S DEAD.

HE'S DEAD 'CAUSE OF YOU, BOY.

HIS NOTE SAID IT ALL, DIDN'T IT?

HOW DID YOU KNOW WHAT HIS NOTE SAID?

IF YOU WANT TO SEE GILDA,

SHE WORKS THE PARKING LOT--

STRAIGHT OUT THAT BACK DOOR.

DOES HE REALLY THINK WE'RE GOING OUT THERE?

YEAH, HE PROBABLY THINKS I AM.

MAN, I HATE TO MAKE HIM RIGHT,

BUT HERE I GO.

YOU STAY PUT, YOU HEAR?

IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, HUH?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T CARE.

MISS LEMOYNE?

GILDA.

UH, MY NAME'S LIEUTENANT SKINNER.

BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE BY WEEPY TAMEROY, OUR ASSISTANT TRAINER.

DON'T MOVE AROUND. SIT STILL.

DON'T TALK SO MUCH.

WELL...UH...

DO AS YOU'RE TOLD.

CHIEF: ALL I'M SAYING, VIRGIL,

DON'T GIVE ME THAT ADVICE.

BIRDS DIDN'T FLY. AIN'T FIXING TO.

WHERE ARE THEY?

COPPLEY'S IN THE OFFICE.

HERE COMES EPP NOW.

WHERE?

RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

LORD, GIVE ME STRENGTH, PLEASE.

YOU UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING?

HE'S UPSET BECAUSE I SAID, "DON'T BE UPSET."

NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF HUMAN RELATIONS

HAS THAT ADVICE EVER DONE ANYONE ANY GOOD.

WHEN YOU TELL A PERSON, "DON'T GET UPSET,"

IT JUST BURNS THEM UP.

DON'T GET BURNED UP, EITHER.

IT BURNS US ALL UP

BEING TOLD WE CAN'T WIN AGAINST THESE PEOPLE.

GOOD MORNING, MR. EPP.

GOOD MORNING, CHIEF.

WELL, BOYS, ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE UP AGAINST BIG CRIME.

I MEAN, IT'S INTERSTATE.

IT MAY BE BEYOND OUR REACH.

THESE GENTLEMEN OVER YONDER HERE,

THEY BUY PROPERTIES ALL OVER,

USE THEM ILLEGALLY,

THEY SELL THEM IMPROPERLY...

BURN THEM FOR THE INSURANCE.

TRAP HOMELESS SOULS IN THE FIRES.

WON'T FANNOY'S BROTHER SAY ANYTHING?

WHY SHOULD HE?

DOESN'T WANT TO GET KILLED.

BUT THIS IS SPARTA, NOT L.A.

WELL, WELL, WELL,

SERGEANT JAMISON.

DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT THE CHIEF JUST SAID?

WE CAN'T KEEP A WITNESS FROM BEING KILLED HERE.

WE'RE UP AGAINST THE BIG BOYS.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

WELL, SIR, WHAT WILL IT BE?

OH, YOU--

DO THE ORDERING.

HI, MISS DAY.

BUBBA: ME, TOO, ON THAT ROOT BEER.

BUBBA.

YEAH.

MAY I ASK...

WHAT'S THE "MA'AM" ALL ABOUT?

ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME

SOMETHING ABOUT YOU OR ABOUT ME?

YOU'RE DOING ALL THE TALKING WITH YOUR EYES.

HUH?

MA'AM, IT'S LIKE THIS.

WHEN A WOMAN HOLDS HERSELF A CERTAIN WAY,

TURNS ON A CERTAIN LOOK IN HER EYE

LIKE YOU'VE GOT RIGHT NOW,

SHE WANTS TO BE CALLED MA'AM.

HUH.

HEY.

YUP.

THANK YOU.

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, THEN,

IS THAT MA'AM WAS MY CHOICE.

IT WAS ALL UP TO ME.

YES, I'D SAY SO.

SO, IF I DIDN'T LIKE MA'AM,

AND I DON'T,

I HAVE ONLY MYSELF TO BLAME.

YEAH, WELL, I WOULDN'T CALL IT BLAME.

IT'S TO YOUR CREDIT, REALLY.

YOU'VE DECIDED YOU WANT YOUR LIFE

TO TAKE A CERTAIN MATURE TURN. THAT'S GOOD.

I SEE.

SO TODAY...

HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN GILLESPIE TOLD YOU YOU WERE COMING TO L.A.?

I WAS TICKLED TO DEATH.

CHIEF SAID, "BUBBA, YOU'RE GOING TO L.A."

I THOUGHT HE MEANT LOUISIANA.

I WOULDN'T SAY THAT AT ALL.

ACTUALLY, THERE'S A WHOLE LOT TO LIKE HERE.

WHO PUT FOUR BULLETS INTO THAT LITTLE GIRL?

WHICH ONE OF THEM WAS IT?

WAS IT BOTH OF THEM? WAS IT YOU?

WAS YOU THE ONE THAT DUMPED HER IN THEM HILLS?

ADIOS.

GILDA REMINDED HIM THAT SHE WROTE THAT NOTE,

HE'S GOING TO TELL US ABOUT LAWYER GARISH.

HE'S GOING TO TELL US ABOUT ALL HIS CONNECTIONS,

HE WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT COMING BACK OUT HERE,

GOING TO WORK FOR US.

HE WOULD LIKE THAT.

WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?

IT MIGHT BE FUN NOW THAT WE GOT THE MA'AMS OUT OF THE WAY.

[HONK HONK]

BUBBA, WAIT!

LOOK WHO I BROUGHT TO SEE YOU.

I GOT TO GO.

HE CAME TO THE OFFICE,

WANTED TO SEE HIS HERO.

HEY, LIEUTENANT!

THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT TO ASK YOU.

HEY, YOU ARE EVER COMING BACK?

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
