COME ON, MAN.

COME ON.

KEEP IT UP, MAN,

YOU'RE GOING TO FLOOD THE SUCKER.

AW, MAN.

WHY YOU BREAKING DOWN NOW

AFTER ALL THIS TRAVELING?

WANT TO RUN A TAG CHECK WHILE I TALK TO HIM?

ALL RIGHT.

I HAVE A GREEN BUICK--

D--DAVID,

D--DANIEL...

HEY, HOW YOU DOING? NEED SOME HELP?

WELL, SEEMS LIKE MY ENGINE HERE JUST, UH...

UP AND DIED ON ME.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM? FROM NASHVILLE.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

UH, MY NAME IS UH, ZACK HAYES.

HERE'S MY LICENSE.

O.K., ZACK.

THERE'S A MECHANIC UP THE ROAD.

I'LL CALL YOU A TOW.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU KEEP IT AGAINST THE CURB.

ANYTHING? YEAH.

OWNER--BUSTER HAYES.

BLACK.

TOOK OUT OF HERE TWO YEARS AGO.

THERE'S STILL A WARRANT OUT ON HIM FOR AN ASSAULT.

BUT HE'S 45.

THIS KID COULD BE A RELATIVE.

GREAT.

HEY, BUBBA. YEAH?

LOOKEE HERE.

BUSTER HAYES BEAT UP CARL BUFORD

AFTER BUFORD TOOK A SHOT AT BUSTER'S YOUNGEST

FOR SO-CALLED TRESPASSING.

BUSTER HAYES BACK IN TOWN?

UH, NO.

BUT, UH... BUSTER'S OLDEST, ZACK, HE'S BACK IN TOWN.

WELL, ZACK HAYES IS BAD NEWS, TOO,

JUST LIKE HIS DADDY. MM-HMM.

OH, PARKER, WILL YOU DO ME A FAVOR?

IF EUGENE GLENDON CALLS, TELL HIM I CAN'T WAIT.

I GOT TO MEET THE TRACK TEAM AT THE SCHOOL.

DIDN'T HE GRADUATE LAST JUNE?

YEAH. I'M HELPING HIM TRY OUT FOR A SCHOLARSHIP.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

H-- HI. WHAT A SURPRISE.

YOU ABOUT TO START WORK?

UH, NO. BILL'S COMING BY.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME LUNCH.

SO THIS IS WHERE YOU MEET.

THIS IS THE STUDIO WHERE I PAINT.

AND WHEN YOU'RE NOT PAINTING?

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, EUGENE?

WHY ARE YOU SNEAKING UP TO THIS PLACE

WHEN THE WHOLE TOWN KNOWS EVERYTHING?

I DON'T CARE WHAT THE WHOLE TOWN KNOWS.

THEN WHAT YOU SNEAKING UP HERE FOR?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO LIVE WITH HIM IN HIS HOUSE?

THERE'S A THING CALLED DISCRETION,

AND IN THIS TOWN--

BUT WHAT YOU CALL DISCRETION...

I CALL HYPOCRISY.

AND I CALL YOU MEAN AND UNFAIR.

REMEMBER PRIDE, MAMA?

OR HAVE YOU LOST THAT ALONG WITH YOUR COMMON SENSE?

MAN, I STILL THINK THAT WAS KIND OF SILLY

NOT TO TAKE THE RIDE WITH THE TOW.

NAH, NAH.

I DON'T LIKE HIS FACE.

I DON'T WANT HIM GETTING TOO FAMILIAR WITH MINE.

CHECK IT.

THIS HERE GOING TO WORK OUT EVEN BETTER.

HOW SO?

FOR WHAT WE GOING TO DO, PARTNER,

IT'S BETTER THAT WE AIN'T GOT OUR OWN WHEELS.

AH, THINK ABOUT IT.

I DON'T LIKE THAT FACE, NEITHER.

AND THAT FACE SURE DON'T LIKE YOUR FACE.

MAN, WE'LL SOON BE GONE FROM THIS SORRY TOWN.

LOOK, MAN, YOU KNOW FOR SURE ABOUT THAT MONEY?

I THINK I KNOW.

RIGHT NOW, MAN, THAT'S THE BEST I CAN SAY.

OH, YO. YO, HERE COMES A BROTHER.

THANKS, MAN.

[ENGINE SPUTTERING]

HEY, EUGENE. HOW YOU DOING, MAC?

SHE'S PURRING NOW.

FUEL PUMP, RIGHT? NO.

PLUG.

LET ME JUST GET YOUR KEYS.

I GOT A CALL...

TO TOW THIS HERE BUICK HERE EARLIER.

IT BELONGS TO... ZACK HAYES.

HE'S BACK?

SAYS HE'S PASSING THROUGH.

THAT'S GOOD.

I CAN'T FIGURE HOW YOUR BUDDY JUSTIN

COULD BE HANGING WITH A DUDE LIKE THAT.

HIM... AND ANOTHER FELLOW.

SAY WHAT?

I'M TELLING YOU...

HE DROVE HIM HERE.

THEY FOLLOWED THEIR CAR HERE.

GOT SOMETHING OUT OF THE TRUNK,

AND I HEARD THEM TALKING ABOUT

GOING OVER TO CARL BUFORD'S

CONVENIENCE STORE.

WHY, THEY SHOULDN'T BE GOING OVER THERE.

JUSTIN DROVE HIM TO BUFORD'S?

I THINK SO.

JUSTIN CAN BE A JERK.

YEAH.

HA HA.

PEAS...

YAMS...

GREENS.

ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.

HA HA.

WE BE THREE MINUTES, THAT'S ALL.

THERE'S ANOTHER PLACE UP THE STREET.

WHY BUY ANYTHING FROM THE MEANEST WHITE MAN IN THE STATE?

'CAUSE WE WANT TO GIVE HIM THE BUSINESS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WAIT'LL YOU SEE.

WHY IS HE GOING AROUND BACK?

TO FIND A TOILET, I GUESS.

I'M GOING IN THE FRONT.

[DOOR OPENS]GOT TO GO.

UM, CALL YOU BACK.

[DOOR CLOSES]

YOU NOT FROM AROUND HERE,

ARE YOU, BOY?

NO, SIR, I'M NOT.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I JUST WANT A FEW ITEMS.

PICK 'EM OUT FAST...

PAY...

AND GET GOING.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

JUSTIN...

MAN, WHAT YOU DOING DRIVING THESE DUDES AROUND FOR?

I'M HELPING OUT TILL THEY GET THEIR WHEELS FIXED.

BROUGHT THEM TO CARL'S?

THEY WANTED TO COME HERE.

WHERE'S HAYES?

HE WENT AROUND BACK.

THIS MAN BUFORD...

REMEMBERS WHO ZACK HAYES IS...

HE'LL PULL A GUN AND KILL HIM.

YOU SEE WHAT YOU NEED?

YOU GOT ANY ICE?

RIGHT THERE.

O.K.

HMM.

[SIGHS]

UM...

YOU GOT ANY CHARCOAL?

IN THE BACK.

ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK.

ALL THE WAY AGAINST THE WALL.

[GUNSHOT]

THEY'RE STARTING SOMETHING IN THERE.

[GUNSHOTS]

WHAT'D I TELL YOU? GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

COME ON! SPLIT, MAN! MOVE!

MOVE IT!

I...

CAN'T HELP THINKING.

WHAT?

THAT SOMEWHERE YOU AGREE WITH YOUR SON.

SOMEWHERE I DO.

AND ALL THIS, YOU AND ME...

YOU DON'T THINK IT'S QUITE RIGHT.

NO.

IT'S THE MOST NATURAL THING IN THE WORLD,

AND YET YOU JUST... CAN'T GET USED TO IT.

NO.

YOU THINK YOU EVER WILL?

NO.

WELL...

THEN, UM...

WHAT HAPPENS TO LOVE?

NOTHING HAPPENS TO MINE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

TALK TO ME.

NOT NOW, ALL RIGHT?

WHAT YOU BEEN DOING?

SHUSH, WILL YOU, DAPHNE?

WHAT YOU GOING TO DO, STARE AT THE WALL?

YES.

AND WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO,

STARE AT YOU STARING?

YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT.

OH...

I WANT TO EAT.

I'M STARVING.

ALL RIGHT.

LOOK, I'M SORRY.

LET'S GO.

MAN.

I THINK YOU GOT TOO MANY PROBLEMS FOR ME.

[SIREN]

BUBBA, COME IN, PLEASE.

YEAH, PARKER. GO AHEAD.

ABOUT THAT JEEP CARL DESCRIBED...

IT'S REGISTERED TO... EUGENE GLENDON.

OH, I HATE HEARING THAT.

YEAH. LONNIE'S GOING TO HATE IT, TOO,

BUT THERE IT IS.

ANYTHING ON THAT '81 JEEP?

YES, SIR. I'M SORRY TO SAY THERE IS.

WELL, WHO OWNS IT?

EUGENE GLENDON--

HARRIET DeLONG'S SON.

WELL, SIR, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I WANT TO TALK TO THE KID.

BRING HIM IN.

YES, SIR.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

THERE IT IS.

HI.GOOD AFTERNOON.

WERE YOU AT BUFORD'S CONVENIENCE STORE

ANY TIME TODAY, MR. GLENDON?

BUFORD'S?

NO.

I WOULDN'T GIVE THAT GUY ANY BUSINESS.

OWNER SAID HE SAW YOUR JEEP.

HE'S BEEN WITH ME.

AND YOUR NAME IS?

DAPHNE.

EUGENE'S BEEN WITH ME PRETTY NEAR ALL DAY.

ALL RIGHT. UM...

EUGENE, CHIEF FORBES WANTS TO SEE YOU.

AM I UNDER ARREST?

NAH. NO.

BUT WE'D LIKE YOU TO DRIVE MISS DAPHNE HOME

AND COME DOWN TO THE STATION.

WHY SHOULD HE? DAPHNE...

I'M ON A LONG PROBATION.

THEY SAY JUMP...

I GOT TO JUMP.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE GUY IN THE JEEP ASKED FOR DIRECTIONS.

AND YOU DON'T KNOW HIM?

I DON'T.

LOOKS LIKE EUGENE GLENDON TO ME.

IS HE? HUH?MAYBE.

I DON'T KNOW.

YOUR FOLKS KEEP MONEY IN THIS HOUSE?

NO.

THEN WHERE THEY KEEP IT?

IN THE BANK!

I THOUGHT YOU JUST STOLE SOME MONEY.

AGAIN.

UHH!

THE DUDE HAD A TOTAL OF $9.00 IN HIS TILL!

THAT'S ALL!

SO YOU PULLED IN AND TALKED TO YOUR FRIEND.

WHAT'D YOU TELL HIM?

I TOLD HIM TO GET OUT OF THERE.

BUT HE COULDN'T 'CAUSE HE WAS DRIVING HIS BUDDIES.

NO.

HE HAD NO CHOICE.

A GUY CAME OUT...

WITH A GUN.

HE WASN'T INVOLVED.

I WASN'T INVOLVED.

WELL, WHY WERE YOU ALL THERE TOGETHER?

THAT MAN BUFORD SAYS ALL FOUR OF YOU WERE INVOLVED.

BUFORD'S A RACIST.

THE WORST.

LONNIE, PLEASE EXPLAIN BUFORD TO THE CHIEF.

EUGENE, BUFORD BEING A RACIST ISN'T THE POINT.

SOME BLACK GUYS TRIED TO HOLD HIM UP.

YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.

TELL US YOUR FRIEND'S NAME.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET ME THIS AFTERNOON.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT?

I HAD TO PICK UP MY CAR FIRST.

THIS THING DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

WHAT DOES MAKE SENSE, MAMA?

YOU AND I NEVER SEEM TO AGREE ABOUT THAT.

WELL, HERE WE GO AGAIN.

I'M OUT OF HERE.

THANK YOU.

YOU COULDN'T MEET JAMISON

'CAUSE YOU HAD TO FOLLOW ME TO MY STUDIO.

I--I DIDN'T PLAN THAT.

I'LL CALL YOU A LAWYER IN THE MORNING.

O.K.

ARE YOU GOING TO LET ME INTO MY HOUSE?

SUPPOSE I WERE TO SAY TO YOU

THAT ALL THE HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES--

GROCERIES FOR A WEEK,

GAS FOR BOTH CARS,

ALL THE THINGS AT THE DRY CLEANERS,

AND YOUR MOUNTAIN OF OVERDUE LIBRARY BOOKS--

IS ALL ON YOU?

YOU JUST SAID IT.

SUPPOSE I WERE TO MEAN IT, EUGENE?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

HELLO?

MRS. DeLONG...

I GOT A LITTLE MESSAGE FOR YOUR BOY.

WHO IS THIS?

TELL HIM HE BETTER KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT...

IF HE WANTS TO MAKE IT THROUGH THIS HERE WEEK.

YOU CAN SAVE YOUR THREATS.

MY SON HAS NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE.

WELL, WE KNOW WHO HE IS...

AND WHO YOU ARE...

AND WHERE YOU LIVE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

WHOEVER YOU THINK YOU'RE PROTECTING

CERTAINLY ISN'T RETURNING THE FAVOR.

THEY JUST MADE A THREAT ON YOUR LIFE...

AND ON MINE, TOO.

DR. KENT, EXTENSION 12, PLEASE.

DR. KENT, EXTENSION 12.

MORNING, CARL.MORNING.

YOU WANT TO SAY HELLO TO POLICE CHIEF FORBES HERE?

CARL, THE SUSPECT WHO WAS DRIVING THE '81 JEEP

CLAIMS HE WAS JUST AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER.

YOU BELIEVE THAT?

I BELIEVE HIM.

SO DO I.

THEN I'M JESSE JACKSON.

YOU BELIEVE THAT?

NO, BUT YOU BELIEVE SOME LOWLIFE BLACK PUNK

WHO CAME TO BLOW MY HEAD OFF.

WHO DO YOU MEAN, CARL?

THAT'S THE NEW AMERICAN JUSTICE.

THE REPORT WE GOT WAS THAT ONE YOUNG MAN

WAS FORCED AT GUNPOINT TO DRIVE AWAY BY TWO OTHERS.

COULD THAT BE WHAT YOU SAW?

I TOLD YOU WHAT I SAW--

TWO INSIDE SHOOTING, TWO OUTSIDE WAITING--

FOUR COLORED BOYS OUT ON A HOLDUP.

OLD FAMILIAR STUFF.

AND IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE THE MATTER

TO OLD FAMILIAR AMERICAN JUSTICE,

I'LL SEE THAT YOU GET THAT, TOO.

YOU TALKING STUPID, CARL.

OH, NO.

I CAN FIND ME A FEW FELLOWS

THAT'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY

TO HELP ME DO THE RIGHT THING.

NOW YOU'RE THREATENING

TO COMMIT A SERIOUS CRIME, MR. BUFORD,

AND I KNOW HOW TO PREVENT THAT CRIME.

I'LL BE HOME BY 6:00.

I'LL CALL YOU IF I GET THROUGH TO SARAH HALLISSEY,

SO STAY CLOSE TO HOME.

HOME.

WHEN THIS IS OVER...

I BETTER FIND ANOTHER HOME.

I CAN'T BE LIVING WITH YOU NO MORE.

SO, YOU AND DAD HAVE BEEN DOING O.K.?

THE WEATHER'S BEEN GOOD FOR YOU?

GOOD.

IT'S BEEN PRETTY QUIET AROUND HERE.

OH, ALL RIGHT.

SEE YOU LATER?

WHAT TIME DO YOU THINK YOU'LL GET HOME?

O.K.

BYE, MAMA.

[RING]

HELLO.

JUSTIN. MAN, BUFORD IDENTIFIED MY CAR.

WHERE'S HAYES AND HIS BUDDY?

I TOOK THEM TO THE BUS STATION.

WHY YOU SOUND SO FUNNY?

I JUST WOKE UP.

LOOK, MAN, I'M IN TROUBLE.

YOU GOT TO TELL THE COPS WHAT YOU KNOW

AND WHAT THEY MADE YOU DO.

YEAH.

GO SEE THE NEW CHIEF.

HE'S A BROTHER.

A PRETTY NICE GUY.

HE'LL BELIEVE YOU IF YOU GO ON YOUR OWN

AND DON'T WAIT TO BE BROUGHT IN.

UM, LET ME CALL YOU BACK, MAN.

HEY, EUGENE.

HEY, LONNIE.

LISTEN, DO YOU KNOW BECAUSE OF ALL THIS,

THEY COULD MAKE YOU SERVE YOUR SENTENCE?

LONNIE, I KNOW.

THERE WON'T BE ANY HEARINGS OR TRIALS.

THEY'LL JUST PUT YOU IN PRISON.

I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

SO TELL ME YOUR FRIEND'S NAME AND WHERE HE IS.

I WANT HIM TO GIVE HIS OWN NAME.

I ASKED HIM TO GO DOWN

AND TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED.

IS HE GOING TO?

I DON'T KNOW.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

WELL, EUGENE, REMEMBER,

ONE OF THE MEN IN THAT STORE WAS KILLED.

THAT'S MURDER.

THE HEAT IS ON REAL HIGH ON THIS THING.

ALL RIGHT.

[RING]

THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU WERE SAFE.

THEY WANTED WHAT?

THEY WANTED TO BE SURE YOU'D BE COOL.

TELL HIM TO COME IN THE JEEP.

YOUR JEEP WORKING O.K.? YEAH, MAN.

GOOD. BRING IT.

UH...

YOU SHOULD COME HERE SO WE CAN TALK.

5:00.

LET'S SAY ABOUT 5:00.

CAN YOU MAKE IT?

ALL RIGHT. I'LL BE THERE.

BYE.

[CLICK]

STATION, COME IN. GO AHEAD.

PEAKE AND SAND ON NUGENT BY THE RAILROAD.

CHIEF FORBES, LIEUTENANT JAMISON.

CHIEF FORBES HERE, PETE. COME ON.

GOT A LISTING ON A PHONE

IN TOUCH WITH MISS DeLONG'S HOUSE.

IS JAMISON GETTING THIS?

I'M GETTING IT, CHIEF. GO AHEAD, PETE.

LISTING IS CARVER W. COATES.

IT'S AN OLD LISTING.

ADDRESS--ELDERS LANE, NUMBER 66.

I KNOW THAT MAN.

LOCAL BEER DISTRIBUTOR. QUITE WELL OFF.

HE'S GOT TWO MARRIED DAUGHTERS,

AND HIS SON JUSTIN IS A HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE CAPTAIN.

IF HE'S EUGENE'S FRIEND,

HE MIGHT NOT TALK ABOUT HIM.

THEY MIGHT BE GETTING TOGETHER.

THAT'S WHAT THE CONVERSATION WAS ABOUT.

IF THEY ALL GETTING TOGETHER,

THIS TIME IT'S NOT BY CHANCE.

IT'S BY APPOINTMENT.

WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO MAKE OF THAT?

THOSE TWO DIDN'T GO IN ON A HOLDUP TOGETHER.

THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.

THAT'S ALL?

THAT'S SAYING A LOT, PARKER.

YES, SIR, BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS

ABOUT LIVING IN A SMALL TOWN

IS THAT YOU KNOW EVERYBODY.

YOU CAN SAY WHETHER SOMEBODY DID THIS OR THAT

OR DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL.

AND I SUPPOSE YOU COULD BE WRONG, TOO, HUH?

EXCUSE ME?

YOU EVER BEEN WRONG ABOUT ANY OF THESE PEOPLE YOU KNOW SO WELL?

YES, SIR, BUT...

POOR EUGENE. HE GOT MIXED UP IN THE DRUG THING A YEAR AGO,

THOUGH HE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.

AND HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

CHIEF, HE'S A GOOD STUDENT AND A HARD WORKER.

ANY DIFFICULTIES AT HOME?

WELL, I DON'T WANT TO PRY.

WELL, IT'S JUST THAT EUGENE AND I

HAVEN'T BEEN ON THE BEST OF TERMS RECENTLY.

ANYTHING SPECIFIC?

UH, HAMP, HE JUST DOESN'T LIKE ME.

OH.

I CAN'T ADD MUCH MORE THAN ANYTHING YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY SAID.

WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE.

HE KNOWS WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO HIM.

THEN WHY DOESN'T EUGENE COOPERATE?

MAYBE HE HAS THE NOTION THAT ANYTHING HE SAYS

WILL HELP CARL BUFORD PIN A MURDER ON HIM.

HE MAY BE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

CAN BUFORD DO IT?

I'VE GOT TO SEE THAT HE DOESN'T.

YOU ALL EXCUSE ME.

YEAH, ME, TOO, PLEASE.

UH, HAMP, LET ME TALK TO YOU.

EUGENE AND I HAD A BITTER RUN-IN

ABOUT BILL AND ME YESTERDAY.

ARE YOU GOING TO WORK IT OUT?

I DON'T KNOW.

IS EUGENE GOING TO WIN THIS ONE?

NOBODY WINS.

I'M AFRAID WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE LOSERS IN THIS.

DAMN! COPS OUT FRONT. COME ON!

WHATCHA DOING, MAN? COPS OUT FRONT.

COME ON. GRAB YOUR GUN.

GET YOUR MIND IN GEAR. MOVE. MOVE.

HEY, PARKER, A CAR JUST TOOK OFF OUT BACK.

THEY MUST BE HEADED FOR CATAWBA.

CALL OUT A DESCRIPTION, AND GET US BACKUP.

LUANN TO ANYBODY. PARKER AND I NEED BACKUP.

ANY LIGHT BLUE CAR HEADED UP CATAWBA, WE WANT HIM.

WHERE DOES THIS GO? BACK TO TOWN.

I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE.

MAKE THE NEXT LEFT.

[SIREN]

WHEN DID YOU TELL HIM HE COULD PICK UP HIS CAR?

I DIDN'T KNOW,

BUT I AIN'T DONE A LICK OF WORK ON IT.

THEY TALKED ABOUT GOING TO BUFORD,

BUT I DIDN'T PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER

UNTIL I HEARD ABOUT THE SHOOTING.

WELL, THAT WILL HELP US, MAC. THANK YOU.

[ENGINE STARTS]

MAN, HOW FAR WE GOING TO GET WITH NO MONEY?

MAYBE YOUR FOLKS GOING TO HAVE SOME MONEY, HUH?

LET'S GO WAIT FOR THEM.

NO, MAN. WE SHOULD SPLIT FROM HERE, MAN.

THE COPS WILL BE CRAWLING ALL OVER JUSTIN'S PLACE.

WHY? THEY DON'T THINK WE OVER THERE.

[CLOCK CHIMES]

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

SHERIFF'S OFFICE. DEPUTY SURILLO.

YES. YES.

YOUR NAME AGAIN?

YES, MA'AM.

IT'S COUNCILWOMAN DeLONG.

OH.

YES, HARRIET?

BILL, EUGENE'S NOT HERE,

AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE WENT.

OH.

WELL, NOW, DON'T ALWAYS EXPECT THE WORST.

WELL, I THINK MAYBE HE WENT TO FIND HIS FRIEND.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO?

LET ME CALL YOU BACK. [TELEPHONE RINGING]

SHERIFF'S OFFICE. DEPUTY SURILLO.

GOT IT.

THREE YOUNG BLACK MEN JUST STOLE A 1984 TAN DODGE SEDAN.

FROM WHERE?

ALLEY BEHIND MONROE STREET.

HERE'S THE PRINTOUT ON ZACK HAYES.

ARMED ROBBERY IN ALABAMA

AND WANTED FOR MURDER IN TENNESSEE.

HEY, JUSTIN.

YOU AROUND?

JUSTIN.

OH, MAN.

HOW MUCH BREAD YOU GOT ON YOU, MAN?

CHIEF FORBES HERE.

STOLEN VEHICLE WAS HEADED WEST ON ROUTE 15,

A HALF MILE EAST OF THE INTERSECTION

WITH NORTH/SOUTH 11.

HEY, Y'ALL, I'M A QUARTER MILE FROM 11.

HE HEADS SOUTH, WE HEAD NORTH,

WE COULD TRY AND SANDWICH HIM.

[SIREN]

GET OUT.

COME ON. COME ON!

YOU WANT ME TO SHOOT HIM?

WHAT'S THAT GOING TO GET YOU?

BEHIND YOU, ZACK!

YOU GOING TO BE O.K. ON THESE STEPS?

I WAS O.K. YESTERDAY.

YOU KNOW, YOUR MAMA'S RIGHT

ABOUT AVOIDING THESE CONTACTS.

MAN, IF I'M AS CAREFUL AS SHE WANTS ME TO BE,

I'LL STAY IN THE HOUSE ALL DAY EVERY DAY

UNTIL MY PROBATION'S UP.

I GOT ANOTHER FIVE MONTHS TO GO ON THAT.

WELL, YOU COULD GET THAT SHORTENED, BY THE WAY.

YEAH, SURE, I CAN...

IF I SHOW MY PROBATION OFFICER

WHERE IT'S INTERFERING WITH SOMETHING IMPORTANT I'M DOING.

AND AT THE MOMENT,

THERE AIN'T NOTHING IMPORTANT FOR ME TO BE DOING.

I CAN'T GET A JOB IN THIS TOWN,

MUCH LESS ONE THAT'LL KEEP ME TOO BUSY

TO SEE MY PROBATION OFFICER.

IF YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO GO TO COLLEGE--

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE.

I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT A SCHOLARSHIP IN TRACK.

I WAS GOING TO TRY FOR ONE...

BUT AFTER THIS...

I'M LUCKY IF I CAN WALK FAST,

NEVER MIND RUN.

YOU CAN ALWAYS GO TO COLLEGE AS A REGULAR STUDENT.

MAYBE IN A YEAR OR TWO,

IF I CAN PAY MY OWN WAY.

I DON'T WANT TO TAKE FROM MY MAMA--FOR NOTHING.

UM, MY CAR IS OVER HERE.

NAH, I GOT SOME PLACES TO BE LATER.

YOU FIGURING TO DRIVE YOURSELF?

IF I CAN GET IN IT,

I CAN DRIVE IT.

O.K.

OF COURSE, NOW, IF THE POLICE CHIEF

WAS TO TELL ME I CAN'T...

WELL, THEN I WOULDN'T DRIVE,

'CAUSE I'M ON PROBATION, SEE?

AND I GOT TO DO EVERYTHING THE POLICE TELL ME.

I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO, EUGENE.

YOU'VE GOT A DRIVER'S LICENSE. YOUR MIND IS CLEAR.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO AND WHAT YOU CAN'T DO.

IF NOW YOU WAS TO DRIVE THAT THING

AND CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY TO OTHER PEOPLE,

WELL, I'M SURE YOU GOT AN ANSWER FOR THAT.

YOU GOT AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING ELSE.

O.K. I'M O.K.

I CAN STAND BY MYSELF. THANKS.

EUGENE, CAME DOWN TO GIVE YOU A RIDE IF YOU WANT IT.

YEAH, LONNIE. I'LL GO WITH YOU.

THANKS.

HE'S SOMETHING, ISN'T HE, THAT KID OF MINE?

ONE ON THE END. THE FAR RIGHT.

HE'S THE ONE KILLED LUKE.

ANYBODY ELSE THERE?

NO.

WHAT ABOUT THIS?

WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE?

THAT'S HIM.

THAT'S THE ONE SHOT ME.

LOOKS LIKE MY SERVICES ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED.

THANKS, SARAH.

YES. THANKS, MISS HALLISSEY.

HOW'S YOUR HIP?

WELL, DOCTORS SAY I MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE IT.

WON'T KNOW FOR A WHILE.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I NEED TO LEAVE.

YEAH. ME, TOO. SEE YOU ALL SOON.

THEY SAY THIS HIP, UH...

GIVE ME SNOW AND RAIN WARNINGS.

WELL, UH, STILL AND ALL,

I'D TUNE IN TO THE WEATHERMAN IF I WERE YOU.
