IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT

I'VE GOT TROUBLES WALL TO WALL

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT

YEAH

MUST BE AN ENDING TO IT ALL

OH-OHH

BUT HOLD ON

IT WON'T BE LONG

JUST YOU BE STRONG

AND IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT

TWO YEARS BACK,

ROBIN TOOK HER CAT MISSY INTO TODD'S ANIMAL CLINIC

SO SHE COULD PROTECT SPARTA

FROM BEING OVERRUN BY FURRY FELINES.

I GUESS ROBIN AND TODD LIKED EACH OTHER,

BECAUSE NOW, MUCH AGAINST MISSY'S WISHES,

ROBIN'S ACCEPTED TODD'S PROPOSAL.

THEY'RE GOING TO GET MARRIED,

AND I THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING.

SHORT AND SWEET.

DID IT JUST FOR YOU.

HI, THERE.

BRIAN, YOU MADE IT!

HI, DADDY!

GOOD TO SEE YOU, BOY.

HI, LEWIS.

JUST PASSING THROUGH?

I HOPE HE ISN'T.

HE NEEDS TO STOP HERE A WHILE.

CAR'S OUTSIDE.

NEEDS PARKING AND THE TOP PUT UP.

IT'S THE RED MUSTANG.

SIT NEXT TO ME.

LET ME GET A CHAIR.

RED MUSTANG. THERE IT IS.

BUT WHERE HE RUN TO?

ONLY PLACE HE EVER RUNS TO--

TO GET A DRINK.

ALL RIGHT.

CAN A GUY GET A DRINK AROUND HERE?

TEQUILA SHOOTER, BEER BACK.

O.K.

HOW'S BUSINESS, CHIEF?

IT IS SLOW,

THE WAY POLICE BUSINESS OUGHT TO BE.

HOW'S EVERYTHING IN NEW ORLEANS?

BIT OF THIS, BIT OF THAT.

MORE LIKE NAGS, NUMBERS, AND NASTY WOMEN.

LEWIS, COME ON.

SO, WHAT'S THE POLICE CHIEF DOING HERE?

OH, WE'RE BEING NICE TO HIM.

HE GAVE US A CONTRACT

FOR REWIRING THE POLICE STATION.

BIG JOB. SURE IS.

LET'S SEE THAT NIGHT LOG.

I AIN'T EATEN ALL DAY.

COULD YOU WAIT HERE

WHILE I ZIP OVER TO THE HEAVENLY WOK AND GET SOME TAKEOUT?

WHY, SURE I COULD.

THEN I COULD PUT AN ENTRY IN HERE--

PATROL DELAYED BECAUSE OF PARKER'S PEKING DUCK.

THEY DELIVER, DON'T THEY?

YEAH, EVENTUALLY.

[DOOR CLOSES]

EVENING.

HELLO AND GOOD-BYE.

ANY MESSAGES?

YES. MIZZ TIBBS CALLED.

HER MEETING'S RUNNING LATE,

THE TWINS ARE FINE,

AND COULD YOU PICK UP SOME APPLE JUICE?

THANKS.

HEY, DID THE CHIEF GO HOME?

UH, HE'S NOT HOME.

HE'S AT THAT ENGAGEMENT PARTY

WITH OUR ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR MR. MOSELEY.

OH, RIGHT.

WHEN IS MOSELEY GOING TO FINISH WITH THAT MESS?

SOON, I HOPE.

I'LL BE GLAD WHEN HE FINISHES THE KITCHEN.

MY LIFE AIN'T THE SAME WITHOUT THE MICROWAVE.

PARKER, I'M SURE.

HEAVENLY WOK?

YEAH, HELLO, SUE-LEE. PARKER WILLIAMS HERE.

LEWIS, IT'S A PARTY.

IT'S ALWAYS A PARTY FOR BRIAN.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

I KNOW YOU DIDN'T STUMBLE IN HERE

TO HONOR YOUR SISTER.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

LEWIS.

SHUT YOUR FACE.

GOING TO MAKE ME?

YOU NEVER COULD, BOY.

NOW YOU STOP THIS, HEAR ME, RIGHT NOW!

I OUGHT TO HAVE THE CHIEF RUN YOU BOTH IN.

I'M LIABLE TO DO IT.

I THINK THE PARTY'S OVER.

WILL YOU DRIVE ME HOME?

SURE.

I'M SORRY, HONEY.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

SORRY.

WHAT CAN I DO?

MY BOYS HATE EACH OTHER.

OH, NOW, WARREN, LISTEN.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW MORNING.

THANKS FOR COMING.

DON'T MENTION IT.

IT WAS VERY PLEASANT, MOSTLY.

HEY-HEY, BRIAN.

YOU TALK TO YOUR DADDY?

STOP FOLLOWING ME.

I TOLD YOU I'D TAKE CARE OF IT.

YEAH. BUT SOON, RIGHT?

PARKER?

UM...CHIEF, I WOULD HAVE EATEN IN THE KITCHEN,

BUT THE LIGHT STILL DOESN'T WORK.

SINCE WHEN DO YOU NEED LIGHT

TO FIND YOUR MOUTH?

WOULD YOU RUN THAT TAG FOR ME?

THAT'S LOUISIANA.

IT'S A BMW.

RIGHT NOW?

OH, NATURALLY, FINISH YOUR EGG ROLL

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE.

WELL, YOU JUST IN FROM JACKSON?

YEAH. WITH A LITTLE HOMEWORK.

I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE MY LAW DEGREE IN 15, 20 YEARS EASY.

ALTHEA STILL WANT YOU TO GO FOR IT?

SHE COULDN'T BE MORE SUPPORTIVE,

LIKE YOU.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE A FINE LAWYER.

MAYBE EVEN A JUDGE SOMEDAY.

THANKS, CHIEF.

CHIEF, GUESS WHAT?

I GIVE UP.

WELL, I RAN A 10-28 ON THAT TAG NUMBER.

IT CAME BACK WITH A 10-31.

I FORGET ALL THESE NUMBERS.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WE AREN'T THE ONLY FOLKS INTERESTED IN THAT VEHICLE.

NEW ORLEANS FLAGGED THAT NUMBER.

THEY USUALLY ONLY DO THAT FOR ARMED ROBBERIES.

NOT THIS TIME.

THIS HERE 10-31

CAME FROM THEIR ORGANIZED-CRIME DETAIL.

THAT VEHICLE WAS AT THE AFFAIR I JUST CAME FROM.

WHAT WE OUGHT TO DO

IS FIND OUT WHERE IT WENT AFTERWARD.

YES, SIR. RIGHT ON IT.

THE BMW IS LEASED TO AN EDWARD COLTRANE,

BETTER KNOWN AS FAT EDDIE, A BOOKIE.

HE'S BAD NEWS.

HMM.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

THAT OTHER SON OF WARREN'S--

HE CAME BACK FROM NEW ORLEANS

WITH A COUPLE OF FOUL BALLS.

I THINK THE BOY'S IN TROUBLE.

WE FOUND THAT VEHICLE AT THE WELCOME INN MOTEL.

I GOT YOU, SWEET.

LET'S GO GET SOME NAMES.

WESLEY, WHAT YOU KNOW?

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

I'D LIKE TO LOOK AT YOUR REGISTER.

SURE.

TWO GUYS IN A BMW, RIGHT?

WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?

'CAUSE I AIN'T A TOTAL MORON.

REALLY?

SURE.

THEY'RE FROM NEW ORLEANS.

OH, WELL, THEN...

LEWIS IS OUT OF WIRE.

TELL HIM 10 MINUTES.

SO, WHERE DID YOU GET TO LAST NIGHT?

I SAW SOME FRIENDS.

THE BOURBON BROTHERS BY THE LOOK OF IT.

DAD, WE GOT TO TALK.

I NEED HELP.

YEAH, I FIGURED.

HOW MUCH?

178,000...

PLUS COMPOUND INTEREST AT 18%.

HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT MY WORST ELECTRICAL SHOCK?

WELL, LET'S SEE. YOU TOLD ME ABOUT A FEW.

MUST HAVE BEEN ONE OF THEM.

PULL IT ON THROUGH.

NO. THE WORST ONE HAPPENED

WHEN I WAS A REAL LITTLE KID.

I STUCK A HAIRPIN IN A WALL SOCKET.

WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

MY MAMA SAID NOT TO.

SAID I WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER THAT.

PARKER.

I'VE GOT TO GET THIS INFO TO THE DETECTIVE

ABOUT BAD GUYS FROM NEW ORLEANS.

IN SPARTA?

YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MANY OF THEM

DO BUSINESS IN THIS LITTLE TOWN.

HOW DID YOU EVER GET INTO THIS JAM?

I HAD A JOB WORKING FOR FAT EDDIE, A BOOKIE'S RUNNER.

WHAT'S THAT?

I-I-IT'S KIND OF A GOFER

FOR ONE OF EDDIE'S BOOK MEN.

I'M GLAD YOU SPOKE TRUTHFULLY, ALTHOUGH IT HURTS.

I CAN SEE IT HURTING.

THEN I STARTED, UM, PLAYING MYSELF.

I WAS--I WAS WAY UP. DOING FINE. SPORTS BOOK.

REMEMBER HOW I FOLLOWED SPORTS?

I WAS GOING TO GET OUT,

PUT EVERYTHING ON THE GAME.

DAD...

DAD, HE SAID HE'D HAVE ME KILLED.

WHO?

FAT EDDIE, THE BIG BOSS.

WHO IS FAT EDDIE?

THESE TWO GUYS WORKED FOR FAT EDDIE.

YEAH. SAY THEIR NAMES AGAIN.

UH, BALCER, A CAJUN,

AND BRESSAK, AFRICAN-AMERICAN.

BALCER DID A STRETCH IN STARKVILLE-- INTIMIDATING A WITNESS.

TONY DID TIME FOR MANSLAUGHTER-- PLEA BARGAIN.

EXCUSE ME.

MY DADDY NEEDS ME BACK AT THE OFFICE.

IT WON'T BE LONG.

OH, YEAH. GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU, SIR.

CHIEF, DEE ON LINE THREE.

YEAH. WHAT?

CHIEF, THEY'RE JUST HANGING AROUND

AS IF THEY'RE WAITING TO SEE SOMEBODY.

WELL, THEY PROBABLY ARE. I WANT TO KNOW WHO.

YES, SIR.

MISTER, UM...

BALCER.

CALL ME RENE.

RENE.

FINE. AND, UH...

TONY.

YOUR PROBLEMS WOULD BE CURED

BY A GOOD STRONG DOSE OF HOME.

COME BACK TO SPARTA,

THEN WE CAN ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN LIKE A PROPER FAMILY,

THE WAY MOM WOULD HAVE WANTED IT.

YOU SHOULD GET MARRIED.

PLENTY OF NICE GIRLS IN SPARTA.

I THINK NICE GIRLS ARE BORING.

BRIAN, YOU DON'T MEAN THAT.

I'M A NICE GIRL.

YEAH.

IT'S JUST SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU HOME AGAIN.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

PLUS INTEREST.

YOU CHARGE INTEREST ON LOSINGS?

[CAR HORN HONKS]

DADDY...

STOP TALKING TO THESE PEOPLE.

Y'ALL LISTEN TO ME.

WE AIN'T GOING TO DO IT.

THIS HERE'S BRIAN'S PROBLEM.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR BROTHER

IF HE CAN'T PAY?

YEAH. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN, HUH?

YOU GOING TO BREAK THESE?

MAYBE A FEW OF THESE, HUH?

KID, YOU'RE STARTING TO GIVE ME IDEAS.

NOW, WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE NO MESS.

NO. WE'RE MERELY TRYING TO RECOVER THE STOLEN MONEY.

STOLEN?

I KNEW HE WOULDN'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY.

HE BET THE FLOAT.

THE FLOAT?

MONEY WE GAVE HIM TO PAY OUR DEBTS.

HE STOLE IT. HE'S A THIEF.

YOU WRITE DOWN THE EXACT AMOUNT.

AND THE DATE HE TOOK IT.

YOU'LL GET THE PRINCIPAL

AND 6% SIMPLE INTEREST. NO MORE.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, WHAT YOU THINK? THAT GOING TO WORK?

YEAH. IT'LL WORK.

THAT'S MONEY I HELPED MAKE.

YOU CAN'T JUST GO DO THIS.

THIS WILL TAKE A DAY OR TWO.

I'M GOING TO WANT A WRITTEN RECEIPT.

NO PROBLEM.

I'LL WANT TO TALK TO MR. COLTRANE.

WE'LL TELL HIM YOU'RE GOING TO BE CALLING.

MEETING'S OVER, CHIEF.

MOSELEYS ARE STAYING. WISE GUYS ARE LEAVING.

O.K., DEE. THANK YOU.

I WANT YOU TO KEEP AN EYE ON BRIAN MOSELEY.

THAT SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD

WITH THAT TICKET MAGNET HE'S DRIVING.

AND THE WAY HE DRIVES IT.

WELL, UH, TRY AND FIND OUT WHERE HE GOES

AND WHO'S HANGING AROUND WITH HIM.

WE'LL PUT THE WORD OUT.

AND JAMISON?

YES, SIR?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THE WAY HE DRIVES?

DO YOU KNOW BRIAN?

I SAW HIM AROUND WHEN HE LIVED HERE.

WAS HE A DRUNK THEN?

HE'S NOT A BAD KID.

HE'S JUST KIND OF WILD, YOU KNOW?

I KNOW.

YOU'VE GOT NERVE.

DADDY'S THINKING ABOUT TAKING THINGS EASY,

LETTING ME RUN THINGS.

YOU'D LIKE THAT, RIGHT?

JUST WHEN WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE AHEAD,

YOU BLOW BACK IN HERE, WIPE US OUT.

THIS IS GETTING OLD.

I MADE A BIG MISTAKE. I KNOW THAT.

HE'S MY DADDY. HE'S HELPING ME.

THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP THAT.

HE'S HELPING YOU WITH MY MONEY.

AM I WORKING FOR YOU?

I'M SICK OF YOU.

YOU'RE DOWN ON ME, ALWAYS HAVE BEEN!

WELL, THANK YOU.

IS THAT FOR THE FOOD?

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE MINE.

HOW ARE THE KIDS?

ETTA'S TELLING THEM STORIES

HER MOTHER USED TO TELL HER.

OH, LORD, WE'RE IN TROUBLE NOW.

OH, I HEARD ABOUT THE MOSELEY BOYS FIGHTING.

WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD.

I MEAN, TWO BROTHERS JUST GREW UP HATING EACH OTHER.

SIBLING RIVALRY.

WE'RE LUCKY OUR KIDS GET ALONG SO WELL.

NOT TODAY.

WILLIAM HAS A BUMP ON HIS HEAD.

HOW COME?

HE WOULDN'T LET SARAH PLAY WITH THE TRUCK.

SHE TOOK IT ANYWAY, THEN GAVE IT BACK...

ON HIS HEAD.

OUR KIDS ARE OUT OF CONTROL.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU CONSOLE YOURSELF

WITH SOME HOME COOKING?

YOU DIDN'T.

BABY, YOU'RE THE BEST.

CAN I? YES.

HE'S BACK TO PASS.

HE'S LOOKING. HE'S GOT IT.

IT'S A TOUCHDOWN.

WHOO! YEAH!

YO, BO.

HEY, BRIAN.

LET ME THINK NOW.

HOW ABOUT A HARVEY WALL-BANGER?

DON'T HAVE NO GALLIANO.

YOU'RE KIDDING ME.

MAKE IT A KAMIKAZE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THAT.

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU.

COME ON. I GOT TO GO CALL THE OLD LADY.

UH, YEAH, BO. YEP. I--I APPRECIATE IT.

ALL RIGHTEE. LONNIE.

HERE YOU GO, LIEUTENANT.

WHAT'S THIS?

BRIAN MOSELEY.

MAN, THIS IS NOT ONE OF MY FAVORITE JOINTS.

WHAT I'M GOING TO DO

IS I'M GOING TO INVEST IN ALL THESE PROPERTIES

BEING SOLD OFF AFTER THE S AND Ls WENT UNDER.

I'M GOING TO MAKE A FORTUNE.

YOU'VE GOT TO FIND THE INVESTMENT CAPITAL.

LEND ME 50 GRAND.

HOW DO YOU WANT THAT, IN CASH OR CHECK?

MORNING, BILL.

OH, WARREN, GOOD MORNING.

YOU WANTED A WORD?

YEAH.

DID YOU KNOW THAT A COUPLE OF CHARACTERS FROM NEW ORLEANS

FOLLOWED YOUR SON BRIAN BACK INTO SPARTA?

YOU DON'T MISS MUCH, DO YOU?

WHAT I WANTED TO ASK IS,

HAVE THEY BEEN GIVING YOU ANY GRIEF?

NOT THEM, NO.

GOOD MORNING, CHIEF, MR. MOSELEY.

NICE DAY, ISN'T IT?

I UNDERSTAND YOUR BRIAN IS BACK IN SPARTA.

YES, MISS WATSON, HE IS.

WOULD YOU EXCUSE US, MRS.--UH, WE'VE GOT TO MEET A TRAIN.

WHAT TRAIN?

OH, I BELIEVE THERE'S A SPECIAL.

SO THE BANK'S GOING TO HAVE A CASHIER'S CHECK TOMORROW.

THEY REALLY CAME THROUGH.

WELL, I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING WE COULD DO.

WELL, IF IT WASN'T EDDIE'S BOYS, IT'D BE SOMEONE ELSE.

BRIAN WOULD SPEND HIS WHOLE LIFE

LOOKING OVER HIS SHOULDER.

YOU'RE A KIND FATHER, WARREN.

NO.

IT'S WHAT THEIR MOTHER WOULD HAVE WANTED.

I STILL THINK ABOUT HER ALL THE TIME, YOU KNOW?

DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT ANNA?

OH, SURE, NOW AND THEN.

WELL...

MAYBE THIS WILL ALL TURN OUT FOR THE BEST

IF IT MAKES BRIAN GROW UP.

MORNING, LEWIS.

MORNING, PARKER.

HOW YOU DOING?

I'M FINE.

JUST FINE.

I THINK I'M GOING TO NEED THIS OPENED UP AGAIN.

OH. SURE THING. SURE THING.

HERE YOU GO.

YOU SURE GOT LOTS OF STUFF HERE, DON'T YOU?

YEAH. IT'S KIND OF A CRIME MUSEUM.

A LOT IS RIPPED OFF GEAR--

IT'S STILL MARKED EVIDENCE.

YOU MEAN, TOOLS CRIMINALS USE?

YEAH. SURE.

LOOK...

THIS WAS USED TO BRAIN A NIGHT SECURITY MAN

AT BIG X MARKET.

[WHISTLES]

AND, UH...

SMALL PRY BAR--

HOUSE-BREAKING IMPLEMENT.

HEY, WHAT ABOUT CAR-BREAKING?

WHAT SORT OF THINGS THEY USE FOR THAT?

UH, WELL...

THIS HERE IS A SLIM-JIM.

PUT THIS BY THE WINDOW

AND YOU POP THE DOOR.

WOW. WHAT DO THEY DO NEXT?

WELL, UH, SLIDE HAMMER.

YOU SCREW THIS INTO THE IGNITION,

THEN YOU POP THE LOCK OUT.

THAT'S KIND OF MESSY, THOUGH.

DON'T THEY HAVE OTHER WAYS OF DOING THAT SORT OF THING?

SURE. ONE OLD BOY GOT HIM SETS OF THESE.

WELL, NOW, WHAT IS THAT, THEN?

MASTER KEYS.

YEAH?

YEAH. COMES IN PRETTY HANDY FOR A CAR THIEF.

WELL, AIN'T THAT SOMETHING?

YOU KNOW, I OUGHT TO GET BACK TO WORK.

I'LL SEE Y'ALL LATER.

YEAH, I GOT A FEW THINGS TO DO MYSELF.

THERE'S TIME TO MAKE UP.

MR. MOSELEY, WE'RE SURE LOOKING FORWARD

TO SOME ICY-COLD AIR IN HERE.

MORNING, DADDY.

LEWIS, I WANT YOU TO FINISH THE SUB-FEED.

YES, SIR.

I'LL GET THE MAIN.

DADDY...

I'M, UH...

WELL, I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT I SAID YESTERDAY.

SAY THAT TO YOUR BROTHER.

YES, SIR.

LET'S GET ON WITH IT.

HI THERE.

HI.

GLAD TO SEE ME?

NO. I'D LIKE TO STAY ON THROUGH THE NIGHT.

ANY EXCITEMENT?

ABOUT AN HOUR AGO,

RENE STOPPED AND BOUGHT SOME BEER.

THEN SOME PIZZA WAS DELIVERED.

YOU ALWAYS GET THE ACTION.

RIGHT.

BYE.

PARKER, THIS IS SWEET.

SERGEANT SWEET, YOU OUT THERE?

I'M THERE. WHAT YOU RECKON?

I FIGURE OL' MISS WILL WIN BY 10 POINTS.

I'LL TAKE THOSE 10 POINTS AND YOUR 5 BUCKS.

NO, SIR. MY 5 BUCKS IS SAFE.

[RADIO] OL' MISS WILL CERTAINLY BE TESTED TONIGHT.

THEY PUT THEIR UNDEFEATED RECORD ON THE LINE.

WHERE'S BRIAN?

AIN'T SEEN HIM.

HE JUST SAID HE HAD TO MAKE SOME CALLS.

MR. MOSELEY?

YES, TODD.

ROBIN TOLD ME ABOUT BRIAN'S PROBLEM.

I HAD TO, DADDY.

I'M GOING TO BE PART OF THIS FAMILY, AND I WANT TO HELP.

UH...NO.

YOU JUST TAKE THIS.

I CAN'T.

AIN'T RIGHT.

IT'S O.K. REALLY.

NOW, LET'S EAT.

YOU'LL GET IT BACK. COUNT ON IT.

WHERE IS BRIAN?

YOU--YOU START. I'LL GET HIM.

NO, NO, NO. MAKE IT A GRAND.

SIX POINTS.

COME ON. YOU KNOW I'M GOOD FOR IT.

NO. THAT OTHER THING GOT TAKEN CARE OF.

ARE YOU INSANE?

I GOT TO GO. O.K. DONE.

WHAT?

YOU JUST MADE A BET, DIDN'T YOU?

SO?

I GOT TO RECOUP, DON'T I?

YOU WANT YOUR MONEY BACK, RIGHT?

BRIAN, YOU-- YOU NEED HELP.

PROFESSIONAL HELP.

I NEED MY LUCK TO CHANGE.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE?

IF I GET ANY CALLS,

I'LL BE AT THE MASON-DIXON WATCHING THE GAME.

HE JUST MADE A BET, DIDN'T HE?

YOUR BROTHER NEEDS OUR HELP, LEWIS.

DADDY...

HE NEEDS A HEAD SHRINKER.

BOY'S NUTS.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST SET FIRE TO THAT MONEY

FOR ALL THE GOOD IT'S GOING TO DO.

YEAH. LET ME SPEAK WITH MR. COLTRANE.

THAT'S O.K. I'LL LEAVE A MESSAGE.

TELL HIM THIS IS WARREN MOSELEY

AND THAT I'VE CHANGED MY MIND.

BRIAN MOSELEY CAN TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN DEBTS.

NO, I DON'T WANT HIM TO CALL ME BACK. TELL HIM THAT'S FINAL.

THANK YOU.

PARKER, GET BACKUP.

MAN IN RED MUSTANG'S FIRING INTO MOTEL.

AND CALL THE PARAMEDICS.

I GOT YA, SWEET.

SWEET, SWEET, NO PURSUIT, YOU HEAR ME?

I DON'T WANT ANY HIGH-SPEED CHASE KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE.

JUST GO BACK TO THE MOTEL AND WATCH THOSE TWO.

MAKE SURE THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING FOOLISH.

YES, SIR.

A RED MUSTANG.

A RED MUSTANG IS BRIAN MOSELEY'S CAR.

THAT'S STRANGE.

I THOUGHT WARREN PAID OFF.

WHY WOULD BRIAN DO THAT?

I DON'T THINK HE DID.

PUT OUT A BULLETIN ON THAT RED MUSTANG.

ADD TO IT, "APPROACH WITH CAUTION."

IT WAS BRIAN.

BOY'S TIRED OF LIVING.

POLICE.

JUST TAKE IT EASY, FELLAS.

ANYBODY HURT?

NO. WE'RE O.K....

NO THANKS TO YOU.

GIVE ME A BREAK. JUST STAY PUT, ALL RIGHT?

OUT OF THE CAR. KEEP YOUR HANDS UP.

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

YOU ARE. NOW GET OUT.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO HOLD ME ON?

APART FROM DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED,

THAT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU BEHAVE.

CHIEF, WE PICKED UP BRIAN MOSELEY.

WE'RE TAKING HIM IN.

DID YOU FIND A WEAPON?

PETE, YOU GOT A WEAPON ON HIM?

NOT ON HIM.

NO, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, THEN.

CHIEF, I THINK

MR. BALCER AND MR. BRESSAK ARE READY TO SEE YOU.

I HAD A TALK WITH THEM ABOUT THEIR MANNERS.

FINE, FINE.

WE SURE REGRET WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

WE'RE GLAD NOBODY GOT HURT.

DID Y'ALL SEE WHO DID IT?

NO.

WE SAW NOTHING.

WELL, I JUST WANT TO CAUTION YOU

AGAINST JUMPING TO ANY FALSE CONCLUSIONS,

ET CETERA.

DO NOT TAKE MATTERS INTO YOUR OWN HANDS.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN?

YOU RECKON THAT'S UNDERSTOOD, BUBBA?

I SURE UNDERSTOOD.

FEEL SECURE ABOUT THAT, SWEET?

OH, I'M HOPEFUL, SIR.

GOOD NIGHT, THEN.

BOY, COMING TO WORK

WITH MY BROTHER IN JAIL IN THIS VERY BUILDING.

SAY, YOU SEEN MY DADDY?

NOT YET.

I THOUGHT THE CHIEF WANTED TO SEE HIM.

WELL, I BEST FINISH THIS UP.

I'LL NEED BACK IN HERE.

O.K.

THANKS.

I'M PLACING YOU UNDER ARREST.

WHAT?

FOR THEFT BY TAKING

AND TAMPERING WITH MATERIAL EVIDENCE,

FOR THINKING I WOULDN'T NOTICE

YOU TOOK SOMETHING OUT OF THIS EVIDENCE ROOM.

HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

ANYTHING YOU SAY MAY BE USED AGAINST YOU

IN A COURT OF LAW.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY.

IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD ONE,

ONE WILL BE APPOINTED FOR YOU.

YOU UNDERSTAND THESE RIGHTS?

YEAH. LET'S GO.

THIS IS A TERRIBLE THING YOU TRIED TO DO.

TO KILL YOUR BROTHER

JUST AS SURE AS IF YOU STABBED HIM.

YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME, DADDY.

HE'S TRYING TO TAKE

EVERYTHING WE EVER WORKED FOR.

BRIAN IS SICK,

BUT YOU MAY BE SICKER, LEWIS.

I MAY BE THE SICKEST OF ALL,

NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW TO RAISE YOU,

NOT SEEING THE WAY YOU WERE TURNING OUT.

TAKE HIM DOWNSTAIRS.

WHERE'S BRIAN?

HE'S DOWNSTAIRS IN A CELL DRYING OUT.

YOU WANT TO GO BAIL?

ALL RIGHT. TURN HIM LOOSE.

HEY, WHAT'S THIS?

THIS IS INCARCERATION, YOUNG MAN.

DON'T YOUNG MAN ME.

O.K. HOW ABOUT KNOTHEAD?

WHY IS HE HERE? WHAT DID HE DO?

A BUNCH OF STUFF.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT.

MY HARD-WORKING, GOODY-GOODY BROTHER.

I AIN'T NO BROTHER OF YOURS.

DON'T BE SILLY, LEWIS.

HE'S BLOOD. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THAT.

BRIAN, YOU'RE OUT OF HERE.

YOUR PA BAILED YOU OUT.

WHY, I DON'T KNOW, BUT HE DID.

LEWIS, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?

COME WITH ME, PLEASE.

WHAT HAPPENED, BILL?

NO WAY OF KNOWING.

YOU COULD BE THE WORLD'S BEST DADDY,

AND YOUR KIDS COULD STILL GET IN TROUBLE.

THAT'S LIFE.

IT'S CRUEL.

IT'S THAT, TOO.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO ABOUT THE OUTSTANDING BUSINESS?

FAT EDDIE'S BOYS?

PAY 'EM.

O.K.

IT'S UP TO YOU.

THEY'RE OVER AT THE MOTEL. THEY KNOW THAT HAPPENED.

I APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP YOU'VE GIVEN ME.

DON'T MENTION IT.

HI, DAD.

WILL SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

HERE WE GO, CHIEF.

DECAFFEINATED, NONDAIRY CREAMER,

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER.

YOU SURE WANT TO DRINK IT?

I LIKE IT. IT REMINDS ME OF THE REAL THING.

DARNELLE'S GOING TO PRESS CHARGES.

LEWIS WILL BE LUCKY IF HE DOESN'T DO TIME.

YOU THINK BRIAN WILL STRAIGHTEN UP?

IT WOULD BE NICE, CONSIDERING WHAT HIS FATHER'S DONE.

YEAH, IT WOULD BE NICE,

BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO HIM?

AND SAY WHAT?

TELL HIM HE'S GOT TO DRY OUT,

QUIT GAMBLING,

GET HIS ACT TOGETHER.

TELL HIM WHAT HE ALREADY KNOWS?

SORRY, HONEY. I AGREE.

ALL THAT'S OLD STUFF.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT WOULD BE NEW STUFF?

WELL, THERE ISN'T ANY.

ORDERS, ULTIMATUMS, ADVICE--

ANYTHING COMING FROM SOMEBODY ELSE

ISN'T GOING TO WORK.

HE'S GOT TO MAKE THE DECISION HIMSELF.

HOWDY, CHIEF.

CHIEF, HERB FINDLEY JUST CALLED IN

ASKING FOR YOU.

I'M HERE TO SEE HIM. WHERE IS HE?

HE SAID THERE'S NO POINT IN COMING HERE.

HE CAN'T DO THE JOB.

HE HASN'T EVEN SEEN THE JOB.

HE CAN'T FIT IT IN HIS SCHEDULE.

ANYWAY, HE'S SCARED OF BIG JOBS.

OH, BOY.

WELL, WE MAY HAVE TO FINISH.

LEAVE A NOTE.

WE CALL AMOS POLK IN CANARD TOMORROW MORNING.

HOW'S IT LOOK, ALAN?

WE CAN'T FINISH IT.

IT'S PRETTY COMPLICATED STUFF.

SOMEBODY COULD ARREST US

FOR DOING ELECTRICAL WORK WITHOUT A LICENSE.

SURE MR. MOSELEY CAN'T FINISH IT?

HIS DOCTOR'S WORRIED ABOUT HIM.

HE HASN'T GOT HIS SONS TO HELP HIM.

I GOT TO LINE UP SOMEBODY ELSE.

WHEN YOU HAVE A DRUNK IN THE FAMILY,

NOT ONLY PULLS DOWN THE FAMILY,

BUT AFFECTS EVERYBODY ON THE OUTSIDE

THAT HAS RELATIONS WITH THE FAMILY.

I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT.

CHIEF, FELLA WITH THE PROBLEM,

IF I TAKE YOU RIGHT,

AIN'T DOING MUCH TO SOLVE IT.

I SAW HIS CAR TO THE MASON-DIXON.

BO.

CHIEF.

HEY, YOU, BRIAN,

WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT DRINK?

DEPTH CHARGE.

WOWIE.

YOU COME TO SEE ME?

I WAS DRIVING BY,

AND I THOUGHT I SAW YOUR CAR OUT THERE,

BUT I SAID, THAT COULDN'T BE BRIAN'S CAR,

BUT I HAD TO JUST MAKE SURE.

YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING?

NO. NO.

HEY.

HEY, YOU, UH...

YOU DON'T WANT TO LECTURE ME,

TELL ME I GOT TO BEHAVE?

NO. I DON'T WANT TO SAY USELESS THINGS TO PEOPLE.

YOU'RE RIGHT, CHIEF.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A GOOD MAN.

WELL, I'M GLAD YOU THINK SO.

SO'S YOUR, UH... YOUR FRIEND--

MY DAD.

HOW MANY GUYS WOULD DO

WHAT HE DONE FOR ME?

HE SAID HE DID THAT FOR YOUR MAMA.

NO. THAT'S JUST HIS WAY OF SAYING THAT, UH...

SAYING WHAT?

NO, I THINK HE SAID WHAT HE MEANT TO SAY.

WASN'T FOR YOUR MAMA'S MEMORY,

HE'D DO WHAT I'D DO.

WHAT, LET THOSE GUYS SHOOT ME?

SURE.

WHAT, AND KILL ME?

I WOULD HAVE HOPED THAT THEY'D MERELY WING YOU.
