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

HEY, KING.

HEY, BUBBA.

HOW THE KING DOIN' TODAY?

ALL RIGHT, BUBBA SKINNER.

I GOT REGARDS TO YOU FROM ONE OF THE BEST WELTERWEIGHTS

EVER TO WEAR GLOVES.

DON'T TELL ME. CHILI CHAMARRO.

YOU GOT IT.

HE'S IN THE HOSPITAL IN JACKSON.

HE AIN'T GOT MUCH LONGER.

WHO HAS, BUBBA?

WHO HAS?

YEAH.

YOU TAKE CARE NOW, KING.

I CALLED THE BOYS IN DETROIT.

THE ANSWER WAS NO.

THEY SAID WE DON'T PAY PEOPLE TO KEEP QUIET.

IT'S CHEAPER TO PAY TO SHUT THEM UP.

THEY SAID. WHO'S THEY?

THE PEOPLE WHOSE NUMBER I CALLED.

JOHN CAMINETTO'S NUMBER?

I DO NOT HAVE HIS NUMBER.

I DO.

HEY, SWEET.

TELL ME SOMETHING.

WHO'S THE KNOTHEAD IN MY PARKING SPACE,

AND WHY HASN'T SOMEBODY DECORATED HIS WINDSHIELD?

THAT'S FBI, NEW ORLEANS,

HERE TALKING TO THE CHIEF.

HMM. FBI, HUH?

WELL...

WELL.

UH, THAT'S NOT REALLY A TICKET, IS IT?

SORT OF.

SORT OF.

OLD MAN PARKER.

HEY, BUBBA.

UH, GUESS WHAT.

WHAT?

FBI'S IN THERE, ABOUT KING BAYLOR.

I JUST SAW KING BY A LAWYER'S OFFICE.

I KNEW IT. I'LL BET YOU IT'S BACK TAXES.

COME ON.

PRIZE FIGHTERS HAVE BIG TAX--

PARKER, LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING.

IN ORDER TO HAVE BIG TAXES,

YOU HAD TO HAVE MADE BIG MONEY,

AND THAT AIN'T EVER BEEN KING BAYLOR, HMM?

HE STOPPED IN '78

AFTER THE WHITEY ROSEN MATCH,

THAT'S WHEN HE WENT WITH THE MOB,

STARTED DRIVING FOR JOHN CAMINETTO.

BOXING COMMISSION SAID HE WASN'T FIT TO FIGHT ANYMORE.

YOU KNOW, I FIRST SAW CONRAD BAYLOR FIGHT

IN A LITTLE HALL OVER IN KENARDIA.

I THOUGHT HE WAS A GREAT PROSPECT EVEN THEN.

I TOLD HIM SO.

HE DROVE FOR CAMINETTO FOR A YEAR.

ONE NIGHT THEY DROVE FROM DETROIT TO TOLEDO.

CAMINETTO PICKED UP JOEY MEMEL

AND SHOT HIM ON A HOUSEBOAT ON LAKE ERIE.

BAYLOR SAW THAT?

NO QUESTION.

BUT HE WON'T TESTIFY.

I CAN'T GET THROUGH TO THE GUY.

I THINK THE OLD BULB'S BURNING KIND OF LOW UPSTAIRS, YOU KNOW?

WHEN I DID TALK TO HIM, HE GOT ROUGH.

WELL...

HOW DO YOU EXPECT US TO GET THROUGH TO HIM?

I THOUGHT YOUR MAN-- WHAT'S HIS NAME-- TIBBS COULD DO IT.

BAYLOR'S ONE OF HIS OWN.

GIVE HIM A PEP TALK.

HE'LL GET MONEY, SAFE ADDRESS, NICE JOB...

ALL HE'S GOT TO GIVE US IS TWO DAYS IN DETROIT FEDERAL COURT.

WELL, VIRGIL'S DUE BACK FROM NEW ORLEANS IN A COUPLE DAYS.

YEAH, WELL, I DON'T HAVE A COUPLE OF DAYS.

WELL, TIBBS CAN'T BE IN NEW ORLEANS HELPING Y'ALL

AND HERE IN SPARTA HELPING Y'ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

LOOK, YOU KNOW BAYLOR.

CAN YOU HELP?

I KNOW BAYLOR. CAN I HELP?

WELL...

CAN I HELP?

IS THERE AN ECHO IN HERE??

NO. THAT WAS ME.

YEAH. I'LL DO WHAT I CAN.

COME ON, MAN, PUT IT UP!

COME ON, DANNY. UP AND DOWN WITH THE KNEES.

UP AND DOWN. RUNNING IN PLACE. ALL RIGHT.

COME ON, YOU.

HEY! I WANT YOU IN THE RING LATER.

JIMMY, PUT SOME AIR IN THAT BAG.

YOU GOT TO MOVE THERE. GET IN CLOSE.

MOVE WITH THE BAG.

THAT WAY.

THAT WAY.

MOVE, PUNCH...

DON'T GET BEHIND.

SHORT PUNCHES.

THERE IT IS.

THAT-A BABY.

COME ON, COME ON, MAKE IT SING!

HAROLD, HAROLD, LEFT HAND--JAB!

JAB, HAROLD. JAB!

THAT'S IT.

ALL RIGHT...

EDDIE AND HAROLD, IN THE RING WITH ME.

EVERYBODY THAT WANTS TO LEARN ABOUT DEFENSE,

EVERYBODY THAT WANTS TO LEARN SOMETHING, COME WATCH AND LISTEN.

MISS MELLIN DOESN'T LIKE IT...

BECAUSE WE BROUGHT IN KING BAYLOR.

SHE DOESN'T LIKE BRINGING IN A PRO?

SHE SAID IT ADDS THE WRONG EMPHASIS.

BOXING'S A DIRTY GAME, RIGHT?

SHE COULD BE RIGHT, WHOEVER SHE IS.

HEY, CHIEF.

VIN, HOW ARE YOU?

HI, CHIEF.

MRS. TIBBS.

VIN, LISTEN,

COULD I HAVE A WORD WITH KING BAYLOR?

HELP YOURSELF, CHIEF. GO AHEAD.

MRS. TIBBS, THE BOYS WON'T LET US SHOOT BASKETS.

WE'LL JUST GO TALK TO THEM.

CHIN DOWN.

STICK ALL THE WAY OUT, ALL THE WAY BACK.

ALL THE WAY OUT, ALL THE WAY BACK.

YEAH! COME ON, DOWNSTAIRS.

KING.

HEY, CHIEF.

WANT TO JOIN THE SPARTA BOXING CLUB?

YEAH.

TO JOIN, YOU DO ABOUT 15 ROUNDS WITH THE KING.

YEAH.

GIVE ME TILL NEXT SATURDAY TO GET INTO SHAPE.

MAN, YOU'RE JIVIN', YOU'RE JUST JIVIN'.

LISTEN...

WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED WITH THE BOYS,

COULD I HAVE YOU A MINUTE?

YOU GOT IT.

THIS FBI GUY SAID YOU GOT KIND OF ROUGH.

CHIEF, THE GUY FOLLOWS ME TO THE BAR.

HE WANTS ME TO SAY YEAH,

BUT I SAY NO.

SO HE SAYS,

"YOU BEEN HIT TOO MUCH,

"AND YOUR BRAIN'S ONLY GOOD

"FOR STUFFING AN EXERCISE BAG."

WELL, THAT'S NOT A NICE THING TO SAY.

SO I GAVE HIM A LITTLE PUSH,

A LITTLE SLAP IN THE MUG,

KNOCKED HIM OFF HIS CHAIR.

KING BAYLOR AIN'T GOING TO BE NO STOOL PIGEON

FOR NOBODY.

HELLO!

KING?

YOU READY TO GO?

IN A MINUTE.

I CAN TAKE YOU, KING.

I LIKE ALTHEA TO TAKE ME

'CAUSE SHE'LL PASS THE TIME WITH MY DAUGHTER.

OH. UH, LISTEN.

I SENSE YOU'RE IN SOME KIND OF TROUBLE.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO HELP YOU.

HELP ME? HUH.

CAN'T NOBODY HELP ME

BUT THE BIG MAN IN DETROIT.

I'M GOING TO CALL HIM

AND TELL HIM THE FBI MADE A DEAL,

AND HE GOT TO COME UP WITH A BETTER DEAL.

YOU TIRED OF LIVING?

YEAH.

YEAH!

I'M TIRED OF LIVING THE WAY I'M LIVING NOW!

AND IF I CAN'T CHANGE IT,

I DON'T CARE IF I QUIT IT!

CHIEF, FORGET THIS.

SOMETIMES I AIN'T MYSELF.

THIS MORNING I HIT MY ELBOW ON THE CAR DOOR,

AND I YELLED 10 TIMES LOUDER THAN THAT.

HAVEN'T SEEN VIRGIL AROUND LATELY.

WHEN HE GETS BACK FROM NEW ORLEANS,

WE'LL HAVE YOU OVER FOR DINNER.

VIRGIL'S GOT THE SAME FACE HE HAD AS A LITTLE KID.

HE FAVORS HIS DADDY,

BUT IN WAYS, HE'S MORE LIKE HIS MAMA.

YEAH, WELL, SOMEDAY I'LL TELL YOU

WHO YOU REMIND ME OF.

YOU TOLD ME ALREADY.

RONALD REAGAN?

I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

SO WHERE TO, HOME OR WORK?

HOME, ALTHEA. AIN'T NO WORK.

THEY LET ME GO.

WHY?

BECAUSE I CAN'T DRIVE.

THEY TOLD ME YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO,

AS JANITOR, YOU'D JUST SWEEP--

THEY CHANGED ALL THAT.

THEY SAID THEY WANT ME TO START HAULING STUFF,

AND I SAID, "THESE OLD EYES

"AIN'T GONNA LET ME GET NO DRIVER'S LICENSE."

SO THAT'S THAT.

DON'T WORRY.

I'M GOING TO GET SOMETHING.

DON'T SHOOT THAT AIRPLANE AT YOUR SISTER.

BE STILL.

HEY, THERE'S YOUR PAPA.

GO ON.

HEY!

HI, PAPA. WHERE YOU BEEN?

UP TO SCHOOL, TEACHING THE KIDS HOW TO BOX.

HI, ETTA. CALVIN IN THE HOUSE?

I WOULDN'T LET HIM IN. HE'S OVER THERE.

WHY YOU DO THIS TO POOR LITTLE OLD CALVIN,

THE ONLY REAL FRIEND I GOT?

COME HERE, CALVIN.

I WANTED YOU TO MEET CALVIN.

YOU KNOW, HE'S FROM HERE.

HE'S MY CORNER MAN WHEN I WAS FIGHTING.

SHE ALWAYS HURTS HIS FEELINGS.

I'D HURT HIS HEAD IF I COULD CATCH HIM.

ASK CALVIN FOR $400 FOR NEXT MONTH'S RENT,

'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE WE GETTING IT FROM.

IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT, BABY.

THANKS FOR THE RIDE, ALTHEA.

BAD NEWS ABOUT THE JOB.

NO LUCK.

WE AIN'T NONE OF US NEVER HAD NO LUCK.

MY EDDIE,

HE'S ONLY ODD DAYS AT THE MILL.

WE CAN'T HARDLY GET BY.

AND PAPA WANT ME TO RUN A FAST FOOD FOR CALVIN,

WHO AT LEAST GOT SOME MONEY FROM SOME WAR HE WAS IN.

NO.

ETTA. NO.

ETTA. PLEASE.

GOT THE FBI PRINTOUT ON JOHN CAMINETTO HERE.

LAST OF THE MIDWEST CRIME TYCOONS.

HE'S INTO EVERY EVIL ENTERPRISE YOU CAN IMAGINE.

YEAH, WELL, I WANT TO HELP THE FBI,

BUT I JUST HATE TO PUSH

POOR OLD CONNIE KING BAYLOR.

HE'S HALF BLIND, AND HE'S BROKE.

I WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO LEAVE HIM ALONE.

WE OUGHT TO MAKE A QUALIFICATION LIST TO BE LET ALONE.

LET'S START WITH BLIND AND BROKE.

BLIND AND BROKE MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASSIST THE LAW.

WHAT'S NEXT? HOW ABOUT LAME AND HALF-BROKE?

AFTER THAT, FLAT-FOOTED AND ON PENSION. AFTER THAT--

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

I GET YOUR POINT.

I HOPE YOU'LL EXCUSE ME NOW.

I'VE GOT TO GO TRY AND TALK A MAN OUT OF KILLING HIMSELF.

WELL, I'M NO EXPERT,

BUT I REALLY THINK YOU OUGHT TO GO ON TV,

TELL SOME OF THESE STORIES,

LIKE ONE OF THOSE TALK SHOWS

WHERE YOU REVEAL EVERYTHING.

THEM SHOWS DON'T PAY.

THE KING'S GOING TO WRITE A BOOK.

FROM THAT, THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE A MOVIE. RIGHT, KING?

CALVIN LOOKING FOR A STARRING PART.

WELL, HE--HE'S LIABLE TO GET ONE, TOO.

I WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU STARTED BEFORE,

THE END OF THAT MITCH WALKER STORY.

MITCH WALKER. YEAH.

MITCH WALKER'S A GOOD FIGHTER.

THEY'S BRINGING HIM ALONG FOR A TITLE SHOT.

I FIGHTS HIM IN GARY, INDIANA.

THEY SLIPS ME $2,000 TO GO IN THE TANK.

I DECIDE TO WHIP THIS TURKEY

AND RUN BACK TO MISSISSIPPI.

SO I BETS THE $2,000 ON MYSELF

AT 11-TO-1 TO KNOCK WALKER OUT.

BUT HE'S BETTER THAN ME, KNOCKS ME OUT ANYHOW.

SO YOU LOST EVERYTHING.

NO, NO, BECAUSE AT THIS TIME--

LET ME TELL THE STORY.

GO PAY THE MAN.

SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.

THE GUYS WHO OWN WALKER,

THEY COME ROUND, AND THEY VISIT ME.

AND THEY SO HAPPY, THEY GIVE ME $3,000 MORE

FOR MAKING THE KNOCKOUT LOOK SO REAL.

WELL, I WANT TO TELL YOU, IT'S THE KIND OF LIFE

WE COUNTRY FOLK DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT.

YEAH. GONE NOW.

LISTEN. HERE'S WHAT I CAME DOWN TO TELL YOU.

THIS FRIEND OF MINE'S FIXING TO REOPEN THAT FERTILIZER PLANT

OVER IN MARSHALSBURG.

HE ASKED ME TO RECOMMEND SOME SECURITY MEN--

HOLD IT. HOLD IT.

WHAT Y'ALL DOING HERE, BIRD-DOGGING OLD KING BAYLOR?

DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU WERE HERE.

YOU'RE A LIAR.

SERGEANT'S NOT LYING, MR. BAYLOR. NOBODY'S WATCHING YOU.

HONEST. IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT WE'RE HERE.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

GOT A CALL THE SCHOOL BUS BROKE DOWN.

WE HAD TO CARRY SOME KIDS HOME.

THAT'S THEM RIGHT THERE.

COME ON, KING. LET'S GO.

WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE IS EATING HIM?

BOYS, THE YEARS GO BY,

AND THE GOOD THINGS DON'T HAPPEN.

THE LORD KEEP US FROM THAT KIND OF LUCK.

I GOT TO GET SOME MONEY.

QUIT DISGRACING MYSELF.

MONEY FOR ETTA...

THE KIDS...

AND YOU.

I DON'T NEED NO MONEY, KING.

KING, UH,

LET'S GET TOGETHER ON THIS MARSHALSBURG THING.

THANKS, CHIEF...

BUT THE WHEELS ARE TURNING.

THINGS ARE...MOVING.

DRIVE ME, CALVIN.

WHERE'S YOUR KEYS?

THERE AIN'T NO KEYS. THEY FIRED ME.

COME ON, KING. LET'S GO.

SIT DOWN.

WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?

MAKING A PHONE CALL.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING. WHAT AM I DOING?

YOU'S WATCHING. YOU'S A WITNESS.

I GOT A PHONE AT MY PLACE.

HAS TO BE DONE HERE.

WHY?

SO'S I CAN GET ARRESTED.

[SIREN BLARING]

YEAH.

KING BAYLOR HERE...

IN MISSISSIPPI. SPARTA, MISSISSIPPI.

COME ON, KING. LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

SIT DOWN.

YEAH.

KING BAYLOR HERE. WHO'S I GOT THERE?

YOU DON'T KNOW ME.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW YOU EITHER, MAN.

TAKE A MESSAGE FOR JOHN CAMINETTO.

TELL HIM THAT THE FEDS WANTS TO KNOW

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO JOE MEMEL

ON THE HOUSEBOAT.

AND TELL HIM KING'S ABOUT TO TELL THEM,

REASON BEING KING AIN'T GOT NO MONEY

AND THE FEDS SAY THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM.

AIN'T NOBODY ELSE TAKING CARE OF OLD KING.

KING'S DOWN HERE HURTING, UNDERSTAND? HURTING REAL BAD.

WHAT? WHERE CAN I BE REACHED?

IN THE SPARTA CITY JAIL.

REMEMBER WHO I WAS TALKING TO

IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME, OK?

NOW, DO LIKE I SAY AND GET OUT OF HERE.

IF I'D KNOWN WHO YOU WAS GONNA TALK TO, I WOULDN'T HAVE LET YOU.

THEY GONNA TRY, THAT'S FOR SURE.

THEN I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.

THEY GOING TO KILL YOU, KING.

THEY GONNA KILL YOU.

OH, WE GOT A GOOD LUNCH TODAY, KING.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK, COLLARD GREENS, SPUDS,

CORN BREAD. FOR DESSERT, CUSTARD OR PECAN PIE.

THAT'S GOOD.

WE CAN GET YOU LUNCH, TOO, IF YOU WANT.

I'D RATHER MY CLIENT LEAVE HERE

AND LUNCH WITH ME ON THE OUTSIDE.

YES, SIR.

MR. EPP HERE WENT TO A GREAT DEAL OF TROUBLE

TO GET YOU A BOND ON A SUNDAY.

IT'S VERY UNUSUAL, MOST UNUSUAL FOR SPARTA.

WHY WON'T YOU GO OUT WITH HIM, KING?

KING.

YEAH.

THAT'S MY NAME.

WANT TO KNOW THE MAN WHO GAVE ME THAT NAME?

THERE HE IS, RIGHT THERE.

CHIEF BILL GILLESPIE.

YOU CAME TO MY FIRST PROFESSIONAL FIGHT,

AND YOU TOLD ME, "YOU'RE GOING TO BE KING

"OF THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION.

"MAYBE...CHAMPION... OF THE WORLD."

AIN'T THAT RIGHT, BILL?

THAT'S RIGHT, CONNIE.

HE CALL ME CONNIE.

THAT'S MY NAME, TOO.

WHY YOU CALL ME CONNIE, BILL?

'CAUSE I BELIEVE...

THAT'S WHAT YOUR MAMA CALLS YOU.

YEAH.

THAT'S RIGHT.

[DOOR SLAMS]

MR. TRUNDLE.

IS BAYLOR FREE?

NO, SIR.

HE'S TALKING TO HIS LAWYER.

YOU LISTEN TO ME...

AND LISTEN GOOD.

I DON'T WANT HIM TO WALK OUT OF HERE

WITH ANYBODY BUT ME.

I CAN'T REACH TIBBS AT THE TOURAINE IN NEW ORLEANS.

SUPPOSE YOU TELL ME WHERE HIS WIFE IS.

WELL, IT BEING SUNDAY,

I SUPPOSE SHE'S AT THE CRANDALL AVENUE AFRICAN ZION CHURCH.

AGENT TRUNDLE.

WHERE'D YOU PARK YOUR CAR THIS MORNING?

RIGHT OUT IN THE FRONT. WHY?

OH, I WAS JUST WONDERING

IF MAYBE WARNINGS IMPROVED YOUR MANNERS

MORE THAN TICKETS.

I RECKON NOT, HUH?

YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY NOW, MR. TRUNDLE.

AGENT TRUNDLE.

THE CASH IS ON ITS WAY.

IT SHOULD BE HERE NOW.

I WANT IT DELIVERED TO A FRIEND.

NO, KING.

WE MUST DEAL DIRECTLY WITH YOU.

THEN WE AIN'T GOT NO DEAL.

THE MONEY MUST GO IN YOUR HAND.

YOU MUST COUNT 150,000,

THEN CALL DETROIT AND TELL MR. CAMINETTO

HE DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOU ANYMORE.

YOU MUST DO THAT TOMORROW.

WE'S GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING ELSE.

LET ME THINK ABOUT IT.

THIS LOOKS VERY FUNNY...

FOR ME, THAT YOU WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE MY BOND

AND COME OUT TODAY.

NO FUNNIER THAN IT LOOKS TO ME.

GUARD!

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU SINCE HARRY DeLONG'S VICTORY PARTY.

OH, HI, MISSY.

THANK YOU, MISSY.

MRS. TIBBS, MY NAME IS PHIL TRUNDLE--FBI.

WHERE CAN I CALL YOUR HUSBAND?

ABOUT WHAT?

I NEED HIS HELP WITH A MAN NAMED KING BAYLOR,

WHO'S ABOUT TO BE BAILED OUT OF JAIL.

I KNOW. DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIS RELEASE?

HE'S GOT A MAFIA LAWYER.

MAFIA. REALLY?

MY, HOW THEY DO GET AROUND.

GOOD DAY, MR. TRUNDLE.

WHERE IS CHIEF GILLESPIE?

IS HE IN CHURCH, TOO?

I DIDN'T NOTICE HIM IN THIS ONE. GOODBYE.

IN CASE BAYLOR'S A FRIEND OF YOURS, MRS. TIBBS,

YOU OUGHT TO KNOW HE'S GOING TO BE KILLED.

HOW THEY TREATING YOU, LESTER?

DAY BY DAY, KING.

ALL RIGHT.

THE MONEY'S HERE.

THAT'S JUST FOR SHOW.

THEY AIN'T LAYING THAT KIND OF LOOT ON YOU.

NOW WE'RE GONNA TAKE IT OFF 'EM.

THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.

KING, THE LIEUTENANT SAYS YOUR DAUGHTER CALLED.

THANKS, WILSON.

CAN SOMEBODY TELL HER I'M GONNA BE OUT TOMORROW,

AND EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE JUST FINE.

I'LL MAKE THE CALL MYSELF, SIR.

I KNOW OUR FBI FRIEND MR. TRUNDLE

IS NOT THE MOST CHARMING MAN

YOU'D WANT TO MEET ON A SUNDAY MORNING,

BUT HE'S RIGHT, YOU KNOW.

KING BAYLOR IS IN BAD TROUBLE.

HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO ALL YOU POLICE OFFICERS

THAT YOU COULD BE PUTTING HIM IN DANGER

BY BRINGING ALL THIS ATTENTION TO HIM?

NOW, LISTEN, MRS. TIBBS.

KING BAYLOR WAS POKING AROUND IN THIS HORNETS' NEST

BEFORE WE ARRESTED HIM.

NOW, A PHONE CALL CAME FROM DETROIT

TO THIS LAWYER EPP, HERE IN SPARTA,

OF TERGA REALTY.

NOW, WHAT IS TERGA REALTY?

IT'S PART OF A NOTORIOUS NETWORK OF INTERSTATE INFAMY.

I MEAN, I THINK

THAT BAYLOR IS TRYING TO BLACKMAIL THE MOB.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

YEAH, WHAT?

LITTLE CALVIN'S JUST LEAVING NOW.

IS BAYLOR STILL IN THERE?

CHIEF, HE WILL NOT SIGN THAT BOND.

I GOT PEAKE ALL SET TO FOLLOW CALVIN.

ALL RIGHT, FOLLOW CALVIN.

YES, SIR.

WELL, IT COMES TO THIS.

UH...THE MOB IS TRYING TO KILL BAYLOR

BEFORE THE FBI BUYS HIM.

THE FBI's TRYING TO BUY HIM

BEFORE THE MOB KILLS HIM.

THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

WELL, MA'AM, I REALIZE BAYLOR IS A VERY LIKABLE FELLOW,

BUT YOU GOT TO KEEP IN MIND

THAT HE WAS ONCE IN THE MOB.

THAT'S THE COLDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD YOU SAY, CHIEF.

[RINGS DOORBELL]

WHO--WHO IS EVERYBODY?

I'M THE LAWYER.

THAT'S THE MAN WHO BROUGHT THE MONEY.

WHAT'S IN THAT BAG?

NOTHING NOW.

C-CAN I SEE THE MONEY?

EXCUSE ME.

50,000 A ROW?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I NEED 50 IN HERE.

WHY?

IT'S WHAT THE KING WANTS--

50 IN HERE.

YOU COME IN YOUR CAR TO ELM WHERE IT CROSS THE RAILROAD.

I'M THERE.

I CHECK THE BAG FOR THE OTHER 100.

IF IT'S THERE, I'LL WAVE TO KING

WHO'S WAITING IN A SHED SOUTH OF THE TRACKS.

WHEN?

6 P.M.

AND YOU COME BY YOURSELF.

THAT LITTLE BLACK RAT,

HE'LL HAVE TO GO, TOO.

THIS IS PEAKE.

TELL THE CHIEF CALVIN IS LEAVING THE LAWYER'S OFFICE.

HEY, KING...GLAD YOU'RE GOING OUT.

IT'S TIME. IT'S TIME.

PARKER'S GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU TO SIGN.

IT'S A RELEASE FORM.

KING, I SURE AM GLAD YOU'RE NOT IN TROUBLE ABOUT YOUR TAXES.

AW, PARKER, AU REVOIR.

KING, COME HERE A MINUTE.

UH...I'M THE POLICE CHIEF,

AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN ARE MY PEOPLE.

THIS IS NOT THE OLD DAYS.

I'M HERE TO HELP EVERYBODY...

IF THEY LET ME.

I APPRECIATE THAT, CHIEF.

LOOKIN' AT THAT PICTURE ON THE WALL OF OLD CHIEF THATCHER

REMIND ME OF THOSE DAYS.

BLACKS WAS ALL TORE UP.

AND NOW WE GOT MEN LIKE YOU, WITH SENSE,

AND WE STILL ALL TORE UP.

HEY, KING...I GOT IT.

SWEET.

YES, SIR.

UH, I'VE GOT PEAKE

OUT WATCHING THOSE TWO...

NOW I WANT YOU TO DO A LITTLE WATCHING AS WELL.

SO, PUT ON SOME REGULAR CLOTHES

AND GET ON DOWN TO THE BOTTOMS.

YES, SIR.

RAY, YOU'RE GETTING BIGGER EVERY DAY.

HERE THEY COME. THERE'S YOUR PAPA.

HEY, LITTLE RAY. HOW YA DOING?

I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

MRS. TIBBS.

HI, ALTHEA.

HI.

WE GOT SOMETHING NICE TO EAT.

WHY NOT STAY? CALVIN, TOO.

WELL, LOOK-A-HERE.

ALL RIGHT.

I REALLY GOT TO GO.

LITTLE RAY, LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I GOT FOR YOU.

WE GOT TO RUN, TOO, BABY.

LISTEN, I WANT YOU TO ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF LITTLE CALVIN.

CAN I GET AN AMEN?

AMEN.

I WANT YOU TO PUT THIS EQUIPMENT BAG

UP IN YOUR CLOSET.

NOW, DON'T OPEN IT TILL TOMORROW.

IT'S A BIRTHDAY PRESENT.

I DON'T HAVE NO BIRTHDAY TILL NEXT JANUARY.

IT'S NOT 'CAUSE YOU WAS BORN IN JANUARY.

I'M GIVING IT TO YOU 'CAUSE YOU WAS BORN.

I LOVE YOU.

LITTLE CAL, WE GOT TO GO.

SEE YOU, LITTLE RAY.

BYE.

BYE, CALVIN.

ETTA.

WELL, WHEN HE GAVE THAT LITTLE BAG TO ETTA...

DID HE TELL HER WHAT WAS INSIDE OF IT?

NO.

DID HE TELL ETTA

WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO?

SHE THINKS HE'S LEAVING. SHE'S WORRIED.

I THINK...

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO SAY WHAT I THINK.

WELL, MRS. TIBBS, UH,

IF IT WOULD HELP ME IN ANY WAY,

I WISH YOU WOULD.

THIS CAN'T HELP YOU, CHIEF.

IT'S JUST A MEMORY OF MINE.

SOMETHING LONG AGO.

YOU KNOW, KING BAYLOR

REMINDS ME OF GUYS I WAS CRAZY ABOUT

WHEN I WAS A KID GROWING UP.

NOT ALL OF THEM WERE GOOD.

IN FACT, NOT MANY OF THEM.

BUT THEY WERE ALWAYS SO LOVING.

THEY WERE SO MUCH FUN.

GIVING AWAY PRESENTS ALL THE TIME TO THE KIDS...

AND... ALL THIS LAUGHTER...

AND THEY WERE VERY BRAVE.

THEN THEY WERE GONE...

GONE TOO SOON.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO BLOW THIS TOWN NOW.

WE NEED THE REST OF THE MONEY.

WE GOT TO TRY FOR IT.

WE GOT THAT PIECE.

LET'S LEAVE IT AT THAT.

IF WE CUT A PIECE OF ALLIGATOR'S TAIL

AND WE SAY "LET'S JUST LEAVE IT LIKE THAT,"

WHAT'S THE ALLIGATOR GOING TO DO--

SMILE AND LET US SWIM AWAY?

IS EVERYTHING ALL SQUARED AWAY HERE?

I'LL NEED A HAND IN A SECOND.

WHEN THESE GUYS GET OFF WORK,

THE HIT MAN GOING TO SNEAK IN AND WAIT FOR ME.

I SAW THAT MAN IN EPP'S OFFICE.

HE'S ORIENTAL.

COME ON. LET'S GO.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

YOU LOOKING FOR KING BAYLOR?

IF HE'S IN A HAPPY MOOD.

IS HE?

I WOULDN'T KNOW...

'CAUSE HE AIN'T HERE.

KNOW WHERE HE IS?

YEAH. SOMEWHERES ELSE.

OHH...

EXCUSE ME.

WELL, WHO'D YOU EXPECT TO SEE?

THE CHINESE FELLOW?

WELL, THERE HE IS.

NOW, GIVE ME THAT CASE BEFORE I KILL YOU.

[SIREN]

WHY DON'T YOU COME ON OUT OF THERE...

SLOWLY.

AAH!

WELL, WELL, WELL...

I'VE CAUGHT FOXES IN THE COOP

BUT NEVER BEFORE A WEASEL.

HOW'D YOU COME TO THESE PARTS?

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I KNOW...

I KNOW.

AAH!

THERE'S SHOOTIN' OUT THERE, MAN!

I WOULDN'T DO THAT IF I WERE YOU.

JUST STAY IN THE CAR.

THROW THE GUN OUT THE WINDOW.

MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP. YOU AIN'T GOT A CHANCE.

SOMEBODY SHOT KING BAYLOR!

HE'S IN THE CHURCH!

HE WENT INSIDE!

AIN'T I SILLY, MAMA?

YOU ALWAYS SAID I WAS.

YOU LAUGHED AT ME.

AND THEN YOU'D SAY,

"COME HERE...CONNIE,

"YOU SILLY BOY,

"AND PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND YOUR MAMA,

"WHO BAKED A SWEET POTATO PIE,

"AND IF YOU HUG AND KISS YOUR MAMA...

"YOU CAN HAVE...

"A SLICE...

"OF THIS PIE...

"BEFORE ANYBODY...

"ELSE."

DADDY, DADDY, NO, NO.

NO.

WHY, WHY?

DADDY, DADDY, NO.

WHO WAS HE TALKING TO?

SOMEBODY...MEN USUALLY THINK ABOUT.

WHY, DADDY?

DIDN'T SOUND TOO IMPORTANT.

DIDN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE.
