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

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

[OPERA PLAYS]

NOW, ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL?

OH, THAT'S THE BEST.

[SINGING ALONG IN ITALIAN]

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

I KNOW IT'S A QUARTET,

BUT YOU AND I, WE'LL MAKE IT A SEXTET.

[DOG WHIMPERS]

COME ON, LET'S HEAR SOMETHING.

[DOG WHINES TUNEFULLY]

WELL, NOW, THAT'S MAGNIFICENT!

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

YEAH, WHAT?

CHIEF, NOW, THAT ISYOU, ISN'T IT?

HELLO, PARKER. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

WELL, SIR, I WAS WONDERING...

THIS EVENING ARE YOU GOING TO BE CELEBRATING

YOUR WELL-DESERVED ACQUITTAL?

PARKER, A MISTRIAL IS NOT AN ACQUITTAL.

NOW...

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT EVERYTHING'S QUIET.

NO, YOU JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF I WAS STILL HERE.

NOW THAT I'VE CAUGHT UP WITH YOU,

WHERE YOU GONNA BE TONIGHT?

AM I NOW OBLIGED TO REPORT MY PERSONAL MOVEMENTS TO YOU?

UH, NO, SIR, BUT I REALLY OUGHT TO HAVE

A LOCATION OR A PHONE NUMBER.

NO, PARKER.

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE BEEPERS--

SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO KNOW OUR PHONE NUMBERS

OR WHERE WE ARE!

Y-YES, SIR. WELL, I'M SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.

UH, THIS IS GOOD NIGHT, PARKER...

I DO HOPE.

BEEPER?

WELL, PARKER, YOU GET ANYTHING OUT OF HIM?

YEAH. HE SAID HE'S WEARING A BEEPER.

WHERE'D HE GET THAT THING?

I GOT IT FOR HIM TODAY

SO HE COULD HAVE A PRIVATE LIFE.

WHAT YOU MEAN IS A SECRET LIFE.

YOU DON'T THINK WE'RE ALL ENTITLED TO THAT?

LONNIE, YOU SHOULD KNOW, THERE AIN'T NO SECRETS IN A TOWN LIKE SPARTA.

BEEPER?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

NOW WHAT?

OH, UH...

WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS MY MOTHER PARKER YET AGAIN.

I HOPE YOU NEVER TALK TO YOUR MOTHER LIKE THAT.

JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I'M LEAVING NOW.

WELL, SO AM I.

BYE.

WELL, NOW, DON'T YOU LOOK NICE!

THANKS.

YOU TOO BIG FOR A HUG?

NO, MAMA.

COME HERE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

WITH A FRIEND TO A PARTY.

ANYBODY I KNOW?

[HORN HONKS]

[RAP MUSIC PLAYS]

BYRON.

EUGENE, DO YOU HAVE TO HANG OUT WITH HIM?

HE'S MY FRIEND.

YOUR FRIEND?

THAT'S RIGHT.

DO YOU HAVE TO JUDGE HIM?

YEAH.

I THINK HE'S A JERK.

O.K.

GOOD NIGHT, MOTHER. GOOD NIGHT.

I GUESS I WON'T WAIT UP FOR YOU.

? WATCH OUT

YO, HOMEBOY!

WHAT'S UP?

GOT IT.

? THERE WAS PLENTY OF FOOD ? ? AND THREADS TO WEAR

? SILK FOR HER BODY

WE GONNA PARTY? PARTY HEARTY.

? THERE WERE LOTS OF FRESH-- ?

? FOR MY POSSE AND ME

? HO HO

? AS THE YEARS GO BY AND I GROW INTO A MAN ?

? I LEARN ABOUT LIVIN' AND I GET WHAT I CAN ?

? PEOPLE THINK I'M GREEDY... ?

COME ON.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

IT'S ONLY DOPE.

YEAH?

THEY DON'T CALL IT "SMART," DO THEY?

YOU A MAMA'S BOY.

YOU SMOKE TOO MUCH.

THIS AIN'T THE WAY TO JULE'S HOUSE.

GOT A LITTLE ERRAND TO RUN.

WHERE AT?

CLAY'S PLACE.

OH, MAN!

YOU GOING TO SCORE, AIN'T YOU?

NO, MAN. BYRON...

I SWEAR.

I SWEAR, HOMES.

WHAT YOU DOING AT CLAY'S, THEN?

SETTLING A LITTLE BUSINESS.

I'M ON PROBATION, MAN.

IF I GET CAUGHT WITH ANY--

WILL YOU CHILL?

I AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON ME,

AND I AIN'T GETTING NOTHING.

I'M STOPPING BY TO GIVE THE GUY SOME MONEY.

YO, MAYBE, I'LL STOP BY LATER.

YOU OUT OF IT, O.K.?

YOU JUST GOING TO GIVE HIM SOME MONEY?

THAT'S ALL. SCOUT'S HONOR.

THEY KICKED YOUR BUTT OUT OF THE SCOUTS.

WELL, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT EUGENE...

I WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS FRIEND BYRON.

I DON'T LIKE HIM, AND I DON'T TRUST HIM.

OH. IS EUGENE, UH...

GETTING INTO DRUGS?

NO, NOT EUGENE.

HE SEEMS ME TAKE TWO GLASSES OF WINE,

AND HE WANTS ME TO GO TO A.A.

BYRON AND EUGENE HAVE BEEN CLOSE BUDDIES SINCE FIRST GRADE.

NATURALLY, I DID THE WRONG THING--

DISAPPROVED, MADE BYRON IRRESISTIBLE.

WHY YOU ASKING ME ABOUT DRUGS?

KIDS GET INTO DRUGS.

MM-MM.

YOU'RE TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT EUGENE.

WHAT?

HE'S BEEN SEEN WITH A PUSHER...

NAME OF CLAY WILSON.

WELL, I GUESS THAT'S THAT.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO LAY DOWN THE LAW.

YOU DO THAT, AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S GOING TO SAY.

WHAT? THAT I GOT IT FROM YOU?

SO WHAT?

HE'S GOING TO HAVE HIMSELF PUT IN THE YOUTH FACILITY.

I'M SORRY I BROUGHT IT UP.

YOU COULDN'T HIDE IT FROM ME.

I SHOULD HAVE...

AT LEAST FOR AN HOUR OR SO.

IT'S ON MY MIND ALL DAY EVERY DAY, ANYWAY.

WELL...

HERE'S TO, UH...

SOMETHING.

[RAP MUSIC PLAYS]

? THIS IS MY WORLD, AND THIS IS MY STUFF ?

? IF IT MAKES YOU WEAK OR WARY ?

? WELL, THAT'S JUST TOUGH

? GET OFF OF--

FIVE, O.K.?

O.K.

OH, MY MAN!

YO, CLAY.

WHAT HAPPEN, BYRON? COME IN!

CAN'T STAY. MY BOY'S IN THE CAR.

OH, YEAH? WHO'S THAT?

HE'S COOL.

HE'D BETTER BE.

WE'RE LIVIN' IN DANGEROUS TIMES.

THIS LAST WEEK'S BEEN TOO WEIRD.

HOW'S THAT?

WHAT YOU WANT, ANYWAY?

UH, AN EIGHT-BALL.

GET YOUR HIGH BEAMS ON.

SO, UH... WHAT'S TOO WEIRD?

MAN, YOU KNOW, I DEAL SOME BLOW--

JUST TO FRIENDS, LIKE THAT.

NOW COME ALONG THIS JACKSON DUDE,

TELLS ME HE'S WITH A GANG CALLED THE CREW.

TELLS ME I'M GETTING INTO THE CRACK BUSINESS

AND THAT I BETTER NOT. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM?

NO BIG CRACK SCENE IN SPARTA,

AND LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE,

OR I'M GOING TO LET MAMA BROWNING DEAL WITH HIM.

THAT'LL WORK. YEAH, I BELIEVE SO.

SEE HERE.

THIS IS THE PLACE--

THE HOUSE OF CLAY.

YEAH, MAN...

AND THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL

AN UPSCALE NEIGHBORHOOD.

COME ON.

IT'S ALL YOURS. THERE YOU GO.

OH...MY TREAT.

MY BOY'S WAITING, MAN.

WELL, HE'S ALREADY MAD AT ME.

COME ON, COME ON!

DOWN, BYRON!

[SIREN]

THE COPS! THE COPS!

HIT 'EM!

GET IN THERE. GET IN!

COME ON, LET'S GO!

PARKER. YEAH, LONNIE?

WE JUST GOT MACHINE-GUNNED OFF THE ROAD

BY THREE GUYS HEADED NORTH ON PEACHBLOSSOM TOWARDS HOOVER.

THEY'RE IN A LATE MODEL BRONZE FOUR-DOOR CADDY.

DO NOT APPROACH.

FIND AND FOLLOW THEM.

I REPEAT-- DO NOT APPROACH.

WILL DO. ARE YOU GUYS O.K.?

YEAH, WE'RE ALL RIGHT, BUT SEND SOME PARAMEDICS.

THERE COULD BE CASUALTIES IN THE HOUSE.

EUGENE!

EUGENE, WAIT UP!

MAN!

AW, HELL.

I HURT.

WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU TO A HOSPITAL.

I GOT AN AMBULANCE ON THE WAY.

I AIN'T GONNA MAKE IT.

YES, YOU ARE.

DON'T TALK LIKE THAT.

YOU'LL BE JUST FINE, MAN.

THEY'RE GOING TO FIX YOU UP.

BYRON, DO YOU KNOW WHO DID THIS TO YOU?

LEAVE HIM ALONE!

EUGENE, GET OUT OF MY WAY.

ASK HIM LATER. GET OUT OF MY WAY!

COME ON, MAN... WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

CLAY WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SOME GUYS FROM JACKSON.

BYRON, YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE ME A NAME.

I GOT TO HAVE A NAME, MAN.

CREW.

CREW?

MAN, WE SHOULD'VE GONE TO THE PARTY LIKE YOU SAID.

IT'S O.K.

WE'D BE KICKIN' IT WITH SOME HONEYS

AND TRIPPIN' OUT, DO SOME DANCING.

[SIREN]

WE'D BE HAVING A GOOD TIME, RIGHT?

SURE.

LIKE ALWAYS.

YEAH.

LIKE ALWAYS.

O.K., PARKER. CALL VIRGIL.

IF JAMISON IS ON THE SCENE,

PATCH ME THROUGH TO HIM.

THERE'S BEEN A SHOOTING DOWN IN THE BOTTOMS.

JAMISON.

YEAH, WE GOT TWO DEAD--

ONE RESIDENT WILSON, THE OTHER OUR FRIEND BYRON,

THE KID WE'VE BEEN WATCHING.

WAS ANYBODY WITH HIM?

YES, SIR. EUGENE GLENDON.

IS HE HURT?

NO. HE'S JUST REAL UNHAPPY.

HE'S NOT HURT.

O.K. I'LL SEE YOU.

WHAT IS IT?

UH...EUGENE.

NOW, PLEASE, STAY CALM.

HE'S O.K. HE'S NOT HURT.

HE JUST WAS ON THE SCENE THERE.

MY GOD.

WHERE IS HE?

THE MIDDLE OF PEACHBLOSSOM STREET.

YOU WANT ME TO TAKE YOU DOWN THERE?

HOW WOULD THAT LOOK?

PARKER, LOOK HERE--

WE'RE AT MAPLE AND LeMOYNE.

SUSPECT'S VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN ABANDONED.

I COPY.

WHERE'S THE CHIEF?

I'M WITH YOU, BUBBA.

AIN'T NOBODY HERE, CHIEF.

THEY STILL GOT GAS IN THE CAR.

MAYBE THEY HAD ANOTHER CAR WAITING.

YEAH, OR STOLE ANOTHER ONE.

CALL SHERIFF McCOMB. PUT OUT AN APB.

FOR WHO AND WHAT?

JAMISON SAYS THREE WEIRD-LOOKING TEENAGERS, BOTH BLACK AND WHITE,

MAYBE HEADED FOR JACKSON.

I ALREADY PUT OUT THAT APB.

CHIEF, YOU OUT IN YOUR CAR SOMEWHERE?

PRECISELY, BUBBA.

I'M SOMEWHERE.

YOU O.K.?

FINE, MAMA.

YOU COULD HAVE BEEN SHOT!

BYRON'S DEAD.

OH, EUGENE.

HOW'D YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THIS SO FAST?

PLEASE DON'T.

I'M SO VERY SORRY ABOUT YOUR FRIEND.

TO YOU HE WAS NOTHING BUT A JERK.

[SIREN]

LAST TIME I SAW A HOUSE SHOT UP THIS BAD

WAS IN PHILADELPHIA.

AND THAT WAS A MOB WAR.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A WAR.

THEY WERE USING MILITARY AMMO.

YOU'RE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE, JAMISON.

WE BOTH ARE. ABOUT FIVE OF THOSE HIT THE CAR.

THERE'S OUR WITNESS OVER THERE.

THIS DEAD BOY BYRON ACTUALLY SAID "THE CREW"?

DID I NOT HEAR HIM RIGHT?

YOU SURE ENOUGH DID.

HARRIET.

VIRGIL.

EUGENE, YOU WERE IN THAT HOUSE WHEN THEY SHOT IT UP?

[HARRIET] I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD ANSWER THAT.

BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T YET TOLD HIM WHY HE'S BEING DETAINED HERE.

HE COULD SAY SOMETHING--

HARRIET, HE'S A WITNESS.

HE'S NOT A SUSPECT.

YOUR BEST WITNESS IS YOUR LIEUTENANT RIGHT THERE.

HE'S THE ONE WHO CALLED IT IN TO THE CHIEF.

AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.

I WAS IN BYRON'S CAR RIGHT THERE.

SO YOU SAW THE SHOOTERS.

NO, SIR.

NOT AT ALL? NO.

BUT YOU WERE WAITIN' RIGHT THERE IN THE CAR.

I HEARD THE FIRING, AND I DUCKED DOWN.

OF COURSE HE DID.

BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE THE CAR?

NOT REALLY, NO.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF THEM THERE WERE?

YEAH. THREE.

EUGENE, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU DIDN'T SEE THEM?

WE'RE GOING ON HOME NOW, VIRGIL.

I'M GUESSING.

MAN, WHAT DOES IT MATTER TO YOU, ANYWAY?

IT'S NOT LIKE ANYBODY IMPORTANT

GOT KILLED HERE TODAY.

COME ON, EUGENE.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

HARRIET, NO. I'M NOT FINISHED HERE YET.

LET THEM GO, VIRGIL.

BUT, CHIEF-- WE'LL PICK IT UP LATER.

I REALLY BELIEVE THE BOY CAN'T HELP US.

LONNIE RECOGNIZED THE WEAPON.

YEAH. IT WAS A B.A.R.

BROWNING AUTOMATIC RIFLE.

NEXT THING YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE

FIELD ARTILLERY IN THE BOTTOMS.

YEAH.

SO, PARKER, WHO'S THIS EXPERT WE'RE WAITING ON?

LIEUTENANT KELLER FROM THE STATE TASK FORCE ON GANGS.

WHAT'S HE GOING TO TELL US?

HE'S GONNA TELL US THAT YOUTH GANGS ARE BAD.

ABOUT LIEUTENANT KELLER. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT--

PARKER.

JUST HOLD ON A MINUTE.

O.K. NOW, IT'S TRUE THAT WHEN HIGHER-UPS

STEP DOWN TO TALK TO US,

THEY USUALLY EMPHASIZE THINGS THAT WE ALREADY KNOW.

BUT IN THIS CASE, THE INFORMATION IS USEFUL.

GOOD MORNING.

HOLD ON.

I'M SORRY, MA'AM, BUT YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE.

NO?

BUBBA--

NO. SEE, THIS IS KIND OF A POLICE MEETING,

BUT CHECK WITH OFFICER EVERETT OUT FRONT.

HE'D BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU OUT.

I DID. HE SENT ME IN HERE.

ONCE AGAIN, I TRIED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING,

BUT NO...

LIEUTENANT KELLER,

UH, PARKER WILLIAMS, MA'AM. PLEASURE.

UH, WELCOME TO SPARTA.

UH, THIS HERE IS CHIEF GILLESPIE.

WELL, HOW DO YOU DO?

THIS IS OUR CHIEF OF DETECTIVES--

VIRGIL TIBBS.

PLEASE SIT DOWN OVER HERE.

WE'RE JUST HAVING A MEETING.

THIS IS OFFICER DEE SHEPHERD OVER HERE

AND LIEUTENANT JAMISON.

GENTLEMEN... LADIES...

I'M NOT TRYING TO TELL Y'ALL WHAT TO DO.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M SORRY I'M HERE

BECAUSE IT MEANS WE'VE FAILED TO STOP

THE SPREAD OF GANG ACTIVITY INTO SMALLER COMMUNITIES.

ACCORDING TO THIS INFO,

YOU DON'T THINK WHAT HAPPENED WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

NO, THAT MEMO IS CORRECT.

THE LARGER CITIES ARE SATURATED

WITH PUSHERS AND USERS.

GANG MEMBERS ARE SEEKING NEW BASES OF OPERATION.

"CHANGE LOCATION OF HEADQUARTERS

TO SAFER PLACES."

KILLING ALL THE LOCALS WHO GET IN THE WAY.

EXCUSE ME, UH, LIEUTENANT,

BUT DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S A LITTLE DRAMATIC?

YES. AND I'D SAY WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT

WAS VERY DRAMATIC.

FROM WHERE WE WERE SITTING,

I'D HAVE TO AGREE WITH HER.

WE'RE COMING DOWN HARD ON A GANG CALLED THE CREW.

WE THINK THEY WANT TO MOVE HERE.

WELL, UH, MISS...

LIEUTENANT KELLER.

LIEUTENANT KELLER,

HOW CAN WE HELP EACH OTHER?

JOIN FORCES. MOVE FREELY AROUND.

MAKE OUR FACILITIES YOURS AND VICE VERSA.

GLADLY.

YOU THINK YOU HAVE A WITNESS

WHO CAN IDENTIFY THE SHOOTERS?

WE THINK HE CAN, BUT WE'RE NOT SURE HE WILL.

I WANT TO ASK MY CAPTAIN HERE

TO WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH YOU.

UH, BUBBA,

I WANT YOU TO SHOW MISS--

I--I'M SORRY.

LIEUTENANT KELLER.

LIEUTENANT KELLER

ALL WE HAVE ON THIS FELLA CLAY

AND THAT NEFARIOUS CREW.

YES, SIR.

EUGENE.

HI.

MR. TIBBS...

YOU WANT ME OR MY MAMA?

WELL, I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW YOU'RE DOING FIRST.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

I DON'T THINK MY MENTAL STATE

IS YOUR MAIN CONCERN.

NO. MY MAIN CONCERN IS FOR THE LIVES

THAT ARE GOING TO BE LOST

IF THIS GANG THING TAKES ON HERE IN SPARTA.

WHAT WAS BYRON DOING AT CLAY'S?

JUST SEEING HIM ABOUT SOMETHING.

HE HAD ALMOST 4 GRAMS OF COCAINE ON HIM, EUGENE.

YOU KNOW MORE THAN I DO.

ARE YOU SURE?

I DON'T DO THAT. I'M ON PROBATION!

I'M NOT STUPID.

[LOUD RAP MUSIC PLAYS]

YOU DON'T THINK IT WAS STUPID

FOR YOU TO GO ON A DRUG BUY WITH BYRON?

I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

EVER MEET ANY OF THE CREW?

THE WHAT?

THE CREW. IT'S A GANG.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

VIRGIL. HARRIET, HI.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU FINISHED WITH ME?

NO, BUT GO AHEAD.

LET ME KNOW IF ANYTHING JOGS YOUR MIND.

JOGS HIS MIND ABOUT WHAT?

THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SHOOTERS.

I'M SURE IF HE'D SEEN ANYTHING,

HE'D TELL YOU, VIRGIL.

I MEAN, WHY WOULDN'T HE?

I DON'T KNOW, HARRIET.

UH...

MAYBE THE KID'S SCARED.

[ENGINE STARTS]

WHAT?

DEKE.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, MAN. NO PROBLEMO.

JUST HERE TO DELIVER, JUST LIKE YOU SAID.

HEY, GUYS, WELCOME TO SPARTA.

YO, HASKELL.

SO...

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

STEEL, JUST LIKE YOU SAID.

LOOKS FINE TO ME.

IT'S COOL.

O.K.

THAT'S A LOT OF ROCKS YOU'RE FRONTING ME.

WE GOT TO GET THIS THING GOING.

HOW MANY CRACKHEADS YOU GOT IN THIS TOWN?

WELL, NOT TOO MANY... RIGHT NOW.

WELL, THEN YOUR MISSION, MY MAN,

IS TO CREATE THE MARKET.

THINK OF YOURSELF AS A PIONEER.

YEAH.

LIKE JOHNNY APPLESEED.

NOW, THIS HERE IS A FREEBIE.

WOW. REALLY?

THANKS, MAN.

YEAH, BUT THERE'S A CATCH.

YOU GET IT FREE. YOU GIVE IT FREE.

WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I NEVER KID. YOU GIVETHIS AWAY,

AND DON'T BE THINKING ABOUT

TRYING TO CROSS ME UP.

YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED

TO THAT FAT FOOL CLAY,

WHY HE GOT BLOWED AWAY?

FOR HAVING STICKY FINGERS.

YO.

WHO YOU LOOKING AT?

THAT BEAUTIFUL CAR, MAN.

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

I AIN'T GOT A PROBLEM.

HE WAS ADMIRIN' YOUR RIDE, MAN.

YOU GOT A FEELING YOU SEEN HIM BEFORE?

NAW, BUT I GOT A FEELING HE'S SEEN ME.

HERE. I BROUGHT YOU SOME COFFEE.

ALL WE GOT IS BLACK.

HOW I LIKE IT. THANKS.

YEAH. YOU'RE WELCOME.

WELL, YOU FINDING ANYTHING INTERESTING THERE?

COUPLE FAMILIAR NAMES.

TOMMY HASKELL.

I'VE SEEN HIM AROUND JACKSON.

OLD TOMMY, HE GETS AROUND.

ONE TIME HE TOLD ME HE WAS GETTING "INTO MANURE."

THOUGHT TOMMY WAS GOING HONEST.

THEN HE EXPLAINED THAT "INTO MANURE"

WAS FRENCH FOR BUSINESSMAN.

OH, EVERYBODY WANTS A TOUCH OF CLASS.

YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, I GOT TO GET GOING.

UH, LIEUTENANT, UH...

LOOK HERE.

I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I'M SORRY

ABOUT JUMPING TO THAT CONCLUSION EARLIER.

IT'S JUST THAT, UM...

A WOMAN SUCH AS YOURSELF...

YOU KNOW.

NO. YOU TELL ME.

WELL, UH, AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN...

GO ON.

WELL, YOU JUST DON'T LOOK LIKE ANY LIEUTENANT I'VE EVER SEEN.

WELL, NOW, CAPTAIN, THAT ISN'T VERY P.C.

SAY WHAT?

POLITICALLY CORRECT.

LATEST JARGON.

IN OTHER WORDS, AVOIDING WORDS THAT ARE SEXIST,

PREJUDICED, OR PATRONIZING.

WHOA. I DON'T HOLD ANY OF THEM THINGS.

GOOD.

AND THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

YOU KNOW, UH, MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO COME TO JACKSON.

GO THROUGH OUR FILES.

YEAH, I BETTER DO THAT. THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

IT'S A DATE THEN.

DATE.

[WOMAN] HE RAN ON AHEAD!

WHERE IS HE?

I WASN'T DOING NOTHING.

I JUST FOUND THE BROTHER.

DON'T WORRY. HE'S OVER HERE.

MOVE OUT OF THE WAY.

YOU BETTER GET THAT IN AN EVIDENCE BAG.

[WOMAN] YOU SEE ANYTHING?

[BOY] UH-UH.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?

MAYBE A CRACK OVERDOSE.

THAT'LL BE THE SECOND ONE.

MAN, TWO CRACK ODs IN ONE DAY.

YOU GUYS BETTER GET WITH THIS.

I APPRECIATE YOUR ADVICE.

I HEARD THESE NEW CRACK GUYS ARE FROM BIG TOWNS.

THEY AIN'T AFRAID OF Y'ALL.

FRANCIS, JUST WORRY ABOUT TAKIN' CARE OF YOUR PATIENT.

MY NAME IS FRANK.

ALWAYS BEEN FRANCIS SINCE HOMEROOM.

TAKE THIS CRACK TO THE HOSPITAL WITH THE KID.

GIVE IT TO THE DOC AND GET A RECEIPT FOR IT.

YES SIR.

WHAT'S WITH THAT MEDIC?

WE HAD A FALLING OUT IN JUNIOR HIGH.

JUNIOR HIGH?

GOD, YOU BOYS HAVE LONG MEMORIES.

PARKER, WE GOT A POSSIBLE O.D.

EN ROUTE TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

OKEY-DOKE. I GOT IT, LIEUTENANT.

CAN'T FIND THE PARENTS. LEFT A MESSAGE.

WHO WITH? FAMILY FRIEND SHE SAYS.

THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW.

DR. SULLIVAN, RADIOLOGY.

DOC, COPS FOUND THIS WITH HIM.

OH, NO.

LOOKS LIKE HE'S HAVING AN ARRHYTHMIA.

I NEED 50 MILLIGRAMS OF LIDOCAINE.

I.V. PUSH, PLEASE.

THAT'S WHAT WE USED TO CALL A GALLOPER.

HOW WE COMING WITH THE EKG?

WE'RE ROCKING AND...ROLLING.

[MONITOR BEATS RAPIDLY]

LOOKS LIKE HE'S HAVING AN M.I.

SEE THE S.T. SEGMENT ELEVATION?

I SEE IT.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE IT.

NURSE, I NEED YOU TO START A LIDOCAINE DRIP

AT 2 MILLIGRAMS PER MINUTE, PLEASE.

DR. HODGE, 721. DR. HODGE...

DR. ROBB, HOW'S HE DOING?

NOT GOOD.

HE'S ONE OF YOURS?

ONE OF MY FINEST...

IN EVERY WAY.

I CAN'T IMAGINE HIM DOING THIS.

COULD I JUST SEE THE DRUGS, DR. ROBB?

OHH... ALTHEA.

IS THIS CONNECTED TO THE SHOOTING LAST NIGHT?

MOST LIKELY.

THAT WAS LIKE PHILLY OR TRENTON.

NOW IT'S HERE, BABY, I'M AFRAID.

I WANT TO SEE MICHAEL.

GO AHEAD.

DR. VERNON, TO ADMITTING.

DR. VERNON...

CHIEF, THAT LIEUTENANT KELLER'S A SMART WOMAN.

I'M MIGHTY IMPRESSED WITH HER.

WELL, ASK HER OUT. TELL HER.

YOU MEAN A DATE?

A QUIET EVENING ALONE, DINNER.

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

WELL, I DON'T THINK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT.

WELL, ASK HER OUT.

IT'LL COME INTO YOUR MIND.

WAIT A MINUTE. LOOK OVER THERE.

HEY, YOU! STAND RIGHT THERE.

I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO DO THAT.

ALL RIGHT, BOY. KEEP YOUR HANDS IN SIGHT.

GET THEM UP ON THE WHEEL!

GET THEM UP THERE!

NOW, ANY UNIT CLOSE TO PLUM,

THERE'S A WHITE MALE

RUNNING THROUGH THE BACK YARDS, ON HIS WAY TOWARDS ELM.

I WANT TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT CRACK.

[PARKER] RIGHT, CHIEF.

EVEN IF WE CATCH HIM, WE CAN'T HOLD HIM.

I WANT HIM ANYWAY. GET OUT OF THERE, BOY.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? COME ON.

BUBBA, I--I THINK

HE'S CHOKING ON SOMETHING, BUBBA.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE. LET ME MOVE AWAY.

MAKE HIM THROW UP.

[RETCHING]

OH, LORD. WHAT IS THAT?

LOOKS LIKE FOUR ROCKS OF CRACK COCAINE.

ISN'T THAT DISGUSTING?

AREN'T YOU AARON TANNER'S SON?

I GOT NOTHING TO SAY.

WELL, I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU.

IN ADDITION TO BEING ARRESTED,

YOU'VE JUST LOST YOUR CAR.

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT?

HE'S TALKING ABOUT USING THAT VEHICLE TO BUY DRUGS!

HE'S TALKING ABOUT FORFEITURE.

I DIDN'T BUY NOTHING!

SOMEBODY GIVE IT TO YOU FREE?

YOU GOT IT, MAN. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

OH, BUBBA, GO THROUGH HIM.

THEY GAVE IT TO ME FREE!

FREE, HUH? WE'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING FREE!

CHIEF! CHIEF, NO SIGN OF NO RUNNING FELLA.

WE'LL FIND HIM.

I WANT YOU TO COME AND BOOK USELESS HERE

FOR ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF CRACK COCAINE.

NOW, PEAKE, TELL HIM THAT THING

WE ALWAYS TELL EVERYBODY, HUH?

YES, SIR.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. ANYTHING YOU SAY...

DEE, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

[DEE] GOT A DISTURBANCE REPORT

FROM EARL'S CREEK ROAD AND PARKSIDE.

BUBBA AND I, WE'LL TAKE THAT.

UH, PARKER, HAVE THIS MUSTANG TOWED TO THE POUND.

MAKE SURE ALMONT GETS A RECEIPT TO REMEMBER IT BY.

YES, SIR. MY PLEASURE.

CHIEF, YOU GOT THIS OTHER MOUTH IN HERE.

YOU GOT ANYTHING IN THAT MOUTH?

HEY, EUGENE.

COME TRY IT. THIS IS WILD.

YOU MESSING UP BIG TIME.

YOU'RE SUCH A BORING GUY, GENIE.

YEAH. GENIE-WEENIE.

THAT'S WHAT WE'LL CALL YOU.

YOO-HOO, GENIE-WEENIE.

[LAUGHTER]

HMM. HI.

IT'S AWFULLY LATE.

YEAH, WELL, I...

I WENT BACK BY THE HOSPITAL,

AND MICHAEL DOWNS DIDN'T MAKE IT.

SO...

HIS PARENTS FINALLY GET HOME,

AFTER THE BARS CLOSED, OF COURSE,

AND THEY WERE QUITE CERTAIN...

THAT THEIR SON WAS NOT INTO CRACK.

ARE THEY JUST AS CERTAIN

THAT THEY'RE NOT INTO BOOZE?

RIGHT.

HONEY, WHAT ABOUT OUR KIDS

WHEN THEY'RE 8, 9, 12?

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO, DRIVE THEM TO THEIR PLAYMATES

OR BUY THEM BULLET-PROOF CLOTHING?

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT BAD HERE.

YOU DON'T THINK SO?

WHY ARE YOU SO MAD AT ME?

'CAUSE YOU'RE THE LAW!

IF IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, WHOSE FAULT IS IT?

I'M SORRY.

I KNOW IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

IT'S NOT THE CHIEF'S FAULT.

YOU JUST GET TO CLEAN UP THE MESS.

I WISH WE COULD PUT A STOP TO IT.

THE FAULT...

IS AT THE HOME...

WITH THE PARENTS.

THEY CAN TAKE SOME ACTION.

THEY CAN...

CHASE AFTER THEIR KIDS.

INTRUDE ON THEM. SPY ON THEM, EVEN.

IT'S THEIR RIGHT.

BUT WE AS POLICE...

WE DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

EUGENE.

I WAS WALKING AROUND. SAW YOUR LIGHT ON.

UH, COME ON IN.

HI, EUGENE.

HEY, MS. TIBBS. I WON'T COME IN.

I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU,

I DID SEE THE GUYS WHO SHOT BYRON.

I SAW THEIR FACES.

I WANT TO HELP.

O.K.

THAT'S GOOD.
