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.

[INDISTINCT]

HI, JEANETTE.

[SHUTTER CLICKS]

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

ANOTHER BOYFRIEND?

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

THREE DIFFERENT GUYS IN ONE WEEK.

CAN'�T YOU SEE HOW BAD THAT IS?

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND?

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP BOTHERING ME?

YOU ARE A CREEP.

YOU ARE SICK.

GO FIND A DOCTOR AND JUST DISAPPEAR.

YOU'�RE GOING TO BE PUNISHED FOR YOUR ADULTERY, JEANETTE.

IT'�S WHAT HAPPENS.

IT'�S WHAT ALWAYS HAPPENS.

JUST GET AWAY FROM HERE.

HI.

YES, MA'�AM, HOW MAY I ASSIST YOU?

I'�D LIKE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT.

ABOUT WHAT?ABOUT HARASSMENT.

WHO'�S IN CHARGE HERE?

WELL, MA'�AM,

BUBBA--CAPTAIN SKINNER-- IS SITTING RIGHT OVER THERE.

WILL HE DO?

WELL, SURE.

BUT MAY I TALK TO HIM OVER THERE, PLEASE?

WELL, YES, MA'�AM.

COME ON IN.

THANK YOU.

UH, BUBBA?HMM?

THE LADY DIDN'�T WANT TO TALK AT THE COUNTER.

TALK TO YOU HERE?

HI. I'�M JEANETTE MARSHALL.

CAPTAIN SKINNER.

GO AHEAD. SIT DOWN.

THANK YOU.

PARKER.

NOW, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

I'�M BEING HARASSED BY A MAN.

A MAN YOU KNOW?

OH, YES.

I'�VE MET HIM, TALKED TO HIM ONCE OR TWICE.

WHERE DID YOU MEET HIM?

THE MASON DIXIELINE.

A PLACE I LIKE TO GO TO.

THAT PLACE IS KIND OF ROUGH, ISN'�T IT?

WELL, IT'�S COLORFUL.

I LIKE COLORFUL.

YES, MA'�AM.

WHAT'�S HIS NAME?

ASHE CROWE.

O.K. ASHE CROWE.

NOW THERE'�S SOMEBODY INTERESTING.

INTERESTING? WHY?

SHE TEACHES AT THE SCHOOL WITH ALTHEA.

MORE RUMORS FLY AROUND ABOUT HER

THAN THE FOOTBALL TEAM.

WHY?

SHE'�S A SWINGER,

TO USE MODERATE LANGUAGE.

OH.

YOU MEAN POPULAR?

WELL, THAT'�S TOO MODERATE.

SOUGHT-AFTER?

NO, I GUESS I MEAN "SEEKING."

OH.

WE USED TO CALL THAT SOMETHING,

BUT I FORGET THE WORD.

WHAT DID JEANETTE MARSHALL HAVE TO SAY?

SHE SAID A FELLA NAMED ASHE CROWE

HAS BEEN ANNOYING HER-- THAT IS, HARASSING HER.

HAD SHE DATED HIM?

THAT'�S THE FUNNY THING.

SHE SAYS SHE WAS WILLING,

BUT HE NEVER RESPONDED.

SOME GUYS MAKE ADVANCES AND NEVER FOLLOW THROUGH.

BASICALLY, THEY'�RE INSECURE.

THAT'�S ALL THEY WANT TO DO, IS KEEP BOTHERING WOMEN?

THAT'�S RIGHT.

MAYBE A RESTRAINING ORDER MIGHT HELP.

WELL, I SUGGESTED THAT,

BUT SHE CAN'�T AFFORD THE ATTORNEY,

NOR THE PUBLICITY THAT MIGHT BRING.

THAT'�S HIS PLACE OF BUSINESS THERE.

SEEMS FUNNY, THOUGH,

THAT A WOMAN WHO CHASES AFTER MEN--

IF THAT'�S THE KIND SHE IS--

WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT A MAN CHASING AFTER HER.

MAYBE HE'�S REPULSIVE.

ASHE CROWE.

IT'�S AN ODD NAME.

NEED A SIGNATURE ON THIS, CHIEF.

PARKER, WHERE DO I KNOW THE NAME ASHE CROWE FROM?

A WHILE BACK WE CITED HIM

FOR USING DYNAMITE WITHOUT A PERMIT.

HE WAS BLOWING UP TREE STUMPS.

NO ARRESTS?

NO, SIR,

BUT I HEARD HE WAS IN TROUBLE IN THE ARMY

AND THEN GOT OUT.

GO HAVE AN INFORMAL TALK WITH HIM,

SORT OF WARN HIM OFF.

I DID THAT ONCE WITH A FELLA.

DID HE LISTEN TO YOU?

NO, BUT THIS FELLA MIGHT.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT FELLA?

OH, THE WOMAN FINALLY SHOT HIM.

ON HIS DEATHBED, HE REPENTED

AND ASKED HER TO MARRY HIM.

SHE ACCEPTED HIM, HE RECOVERED,

THEY GOT MARRIED, AND THEY RAN AWAY TO ARKANSAS.

I'�LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.

I'�VE PASSED THIS PLACE FOR YEARS BUT NEVER CAME IN.

WHY NOT?

I GUESS I'�M JUST SO FOND OF SEEING ANIMALS ALIVE.

SO AM I.

I DON'�T KILL THEM, YOU KNOW.

I ONLY PRESERVE THEIR NATURAL BEAUTY.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

JEANETTE MARSHALL CAME INTO THE STATION TO COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU.

I GREATLY ADMIRE JEANETTE.

SHE SAYS YOU KEEP ANNOYING HER.

YOU KEEP PHONING HER, FOLLOWING HER IN A PICKUP TRUCK,

SNAPPING HER PHOTOGRAPH.

I NEVER TOUCHED HER.

SHE NEVER SAID YOU DID.

I NEVER THREATENED HER, NEVER LAID A HAND ON HER.

SHE SAY THAT?

NO, BUT SHE SAID SHE WAS TIRED OF YOU BOTHERING HER.

NOW, SHE TOLD US THAT TODAY FLAT OUT.

I DIDN'�T KNOW IT WAS AGAINST THE LAW

TO EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE.

CROWE, SHE JUST AIN'�T INTERESTED IN YOUR FEELINGS.

BUT HEY, THAT HAPPENS TO ALL OF US.

SHE GOES OUT WITH A LOT OF MEN.

I GOT A LIST OF NINE.

IT BOTHERS YOU THAT SHE GOES OUT WITH LOTS OF MEN?

SHE GIVES HERSELF TO THEM,

TO ANY MALE TRASH SHE FINDS IN A HONKY-TONK.

CROWE, IF THAT'�S TRUE, IT'�S KIND OF SAD,

BUT YOU AND I GOT NO RIGHT

TO INTERFERE WITH THAT WHATSOEVER.

WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO

IS, UH...

LEAVE HER ALONE.

YOU PEOPLE CAN'�T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

WE CAN TELL YOU WHAT NOT TO DO,

AND WE CAN KEEP AN EYE ON YOU. UNDERSTAND?

THIS IS SO TYPICAL--

HI, HONEY.

OH, HI.

YOU'�VE MET JEANETTE MARSHALL.

YEAH. HI.

VIRGIL, I'�M SORRY TO INTRUDE,

BUT I DIDN'�T GET MUCH HELP AT THE STATION.

IT'�S A SHAME WE CAN'�T DO MORE.

UNLESS THIS FELLOW MOLESTS YOU IN FRONT OF WITNESSES--

MOLEST HOW?

HE'�S SCARING HER TO DEATH.

WE CAN'�T JUST GRAB HIM.

WHY NOT?

LOOK, YOU'�VE BEEN THROUGH WORSE THAN THIS YOURSELF,

AND YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM WE FACE.

CAN'�T YOU SCARE HIM?

WE SENT SOMEBODY TO TALK TO THIS MAN.

UH, WE'�LL DO OUR BEST.

THESE FELLAS ALWAYS PLEAD INNOCENT.

THE WOMAN IS ALWAYS THE SEDUCER,

WHETHER SHE'�S THE SHY, RETIRING TYPE OR--

VIRGIL.

DON'�T SAY IT.

SAY WHAT?

I DON'�T KNOW WHAT WORD I WANTED.

NYMPHOMANIAC, MAYBE.

THAT WAS THE WORD, WASN'�T IT, ALTHEA,

THAT MRS. NIVENS USED AT THE PTA?

THOSE WOMEN WANTED ME FIRED.

VIRGIL DID NOT MEAN THAT.

NO.

IF YOU FIND ME HANGING FROM MY APPLE TREE,

DO PICK UP ASHE CROWE AND GRILL HIM,

JUST A LITTLE, JUST TO BE DOING SOMETHING.

WHY DIDN'�T YOU MENTION THE PTA?

BECAUSE IT'�S ABSURD.

WHY SHOULD THIS WOMAN'�S PRIVATE LIFE

BOTHER THOSE CACKLING HENS?

SHE'�S A TERRIFIC MATH AND SCIENCE TEACHER.

THAT'�S ALL THAT MATTERS.

THAT'�S ALL THAT SHOULD MATTER.

WHAT'�S GOING TO HAPPEN?

WE'�LL DO THE BEST WE CAN.

EXCUSE ME?

I SAID, WE'�LL DO THE BEST WE CAN.

UH, CHIEF.

ARMY SAYS CROWE WAS CHARGED WITH HARASSING WOMEN

AT TWO DIFFERENT BASES.

SAME THING AS HERE,

PLUS SOME PEEPING-TOM STUFF.

WHAT DID HE DO IN THE ARMY?

UH,

CONSTRUCTION, DEMOLITION. IN THE ENGINEERS.

DID HE GET COUNSELING FOR THIS?

YES, BUT IT WOULD BE HARD GETTING THOSE REPORTS.

THEY SHUFFLED HIM FROM FORT JACKSON TO FORT CAMPBELL,

THEN GENERAL DISCHARGED HIM.

IF I WERE AS TOUGH A MAN AS THEY SAY I AM,

I'�D BE ASKING WHY,

WITH EVERYTHING WE HAVE TO DO,

WE'�RE SPENDING SO MUCH TALKING TIME

ON A PEEPING TOM.

WHY ARE WE?

BECAUSE--

I GUESS BECAUSE I GET SUCH A GLOOMY FEELING ABOUT THAT MAN.

JAMISON?

YEAH, CHIEF?

I'�VE BEEN WORRYING ABOUT THAT YOUNG WOMAN

BEING BOTHERED BY-- WHAT'�S HIS NAME?

HIS NAME'�S ASHE CROWE.

YEAH.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT ANOTHER FELLA,

SOMEBODY I KNEW PERSONALLY,

SAME TYPE,

KIND OF CREEPY, UNSTABLE.

WENT AROUND THREATENING PEOPLE,

BUT AFTER AWHILE,

WE STOPPED THINKING ABOUT HIM,

DIDN'�T PAY ATTENTION TO HIM.

ONE DAY HE GOT UP, WENT TO HIS NEIGHBOR,

SAID HELLO, AND SHOT THE MAN DEAD.

YOU WANT ME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS GUY CROWE?

UH, WHAT?

YOU KNOW, FOLLOW HIM,

SEE WHAT HE'�S UP TO?

WE CAN'�T PROVIDE A PRIVATE SECURITY AGENCY

FOR YOUNG WOMEN LIKE JEANETTE MARSHALL.

SHE IS A TEACHER, CHIEF,

A PUBLIC EMPLOYEE, JUST LIKE US.

SHE DESERVES SOME EXTRA INTEREST.

SURE ENOUGH.

WELL, IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE MOSEYING AROUND TOWN...

I'�LL SEE YOU TOMORROW, CHIEF. THANK YOU.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS]

YOU READY TO TAKE MAMA HOME TO BED?

DADDY'�S GOT TO HIT THE JOHN,

THEN WE'�RE OUT OF HERE.

GO AWAY!

YOU'�RE LIVING A DIRTY LIFE, JEANETTE.

YOU ARE SICK.

YOU NEED HELP.

GO GET HELP.

YOU'�RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS HELP.

I JUST WANT TO SAVE YOU.

WELL, I DON'�T WANT TO BE SAVED.

I JUST WANT TO BE USED.

THAT'�S WHY I GOT TO KILL YOU.

HA HA. WHAT?

IS HE KIDDING?

NO.

HE IS MERELY INSANE.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

DEAD SERIOUS.

I'�M READY.

HI, LONNIE.

BO, DID YOU HEAR WHAT THAT GUY SAID?

HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO KILL THAT WOMAN.

AND YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE HE MEANT IT.

[CHURCH BELL TOLLING]

WE COULD ARREST CROWE FOR DISTURBING THE PEACE,

BUT HE'�D BE FINED AND FREED THE SAME DAY.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RIGHT NOT TO BE HOUNDED?

NOTHING, MISS MARSHALL, NOTHING AT ALL.

BUT CROWE ALSO HAS A RIGHT NOT TO BE HOUNDED.

THREATENING TO KILL ME HAS TO BE AGAINST THE LAW.

IT IS.

BUT THE LAW REQUIRES THAT OTHER PEOPLE BESIDES YOU

HEAR HIM SAY THAT.

WE COULD ALWAYS PUT A TAP ON YOUR PHONE, MISS.

AND LISTEN TO ALL MY CALLS?

WE'�D ONLY BE INTERESTED IN THE ONES FROM HIM.

I CAN'�T GO FOR THAT.

YOU COULD WEAR A WIRE.

WE COULD PUT A LITTLE MICROPHONE ON YOU.

THEN YOU LET HIM APPROACH.

WE RECORD WHAT HE SAYS.

OF COURSE, THERE'�S SOME RISK.

I DON'�T LIKE THAT.

I DON'�T LIKE IT, EITHER.

I'�M MEETING SOMEONE FOR THOSE SERVICES.

CAN I THINK ABOUT IT AND GET BACK TO YOU?

CERTAINLY. CERTAINLY.

YOU HAD YOUR EYE ON ME, AND I NEVER KNEW.

THAT'�S RIGHT.

I USUALLY SENSE THAT SORT OF THING.

WELL...

SERVICES? HER?

WELL, THERE'�S NO CONTRADICTION IN THAT.

RATHER, IT'�S TYPICAL OF OUR SPECIES.

[CLEARS THROAT]

NADINE TUCKER?

I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE THE CHIEF,

OR AT LEAST BUBBA SKINNER.

I'�VE KNOWN SERGEANT SKINNER SINCE HE WAS A KID.

HE'�S A CAPTAIN NOW. MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU.

SOMEBODY'�S BEEN INDECENTLY USING YOUR PROPERTY?

THAT'�S RIGHT. THEY PARK IN THAT GROVE.

INDECENT.

CAN YOU BE MORE EXPLICIT ABOUT THAT?

NO.

YOU DON'�T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING?

CERTAINLY I KNOW,

BUT I WON'�T SAY ANYTHING MORE THAN INDECENT.

THE SAME CAR, THREE DIFFERENT TIMES.

SAME WOMAN, ALWAYS A DIFFERENT MAN.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME?

NIGHT BEFORE LAST.

10:00.

ALWAYS THAT ONE WOMAN.

YOU EVER SPEAK TO HER?

CERTAINLY NOT.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE HER?

WELL, ONLY TO SAY SHE'�S A GOOD-LOOKING REDHEAD--

OR SEEMS TO BE.

CAN YOU IDENTIFY THE VEHICLE?

I SURE CAN.

I CAN EVEN GIVE YOU THE LICENSE NUMBER.

HERE.

WELL, THANK YOU.

WE'�LL RUN THIS DOWN.

[BELL RINGS]

YOU'�D HAVE MORE TIME.

MISS TIBBS, MR. TIBBS IS HERE.

HI. WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?

I NEEDED TO SPEAK TO JEANETTE.

AND NOT ME?

WELL!

ALTHEA, PLEASE.

YOU CAN MAKE THAT KIND OF JOKE ABOUT ANYBODY BUT ME.

DON'�T BE HYPERSENSITIVE.

POLICE WORK?

IT WON'�T TAKE LONG.

I'�LL GET US SOME FRESH COFFEE.

I'�D PREFER IT IF YOU STAYED.

DO YOU KNOW A WOMAN NAMED NADINE TUCKER?

I DON'�T THINK SO.

WELL, SHE SAYS YOU WERE PARKING ON HER PROPERTY,

WITH MEN.

ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

HA!

THAT IS BIZARRE.

WELL, THAT WAS THE REACTION OF THE OFFICER

WHO TOOK COMPLAINT.

HOWEVER,

SHE DESCRIBED YOU AS A GOOD-LOOKING REDHEAD.

NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

SHE ALSO GAVE YOUR LICENSE PLATE NUMBER.

NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT EITHER.

THERE IS SOMETHING PHONY GOING ON HERE.

JUST FOR THE RECORD,

WHERE WERE YOU NIGHT BEFORE LAST AT 10:00?

I WAS HERE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL,

ATTENDING THE DRAMA CLUB PLAY.

SO WERE YOU.

THAT'�S RIGHT. AND AFTER THE PLAY

WE WENT TO THE MALL FOR COFFEE AND CAKE.

UM.

WHY, BUBBA SKINNER.

HELLO, NADINE.

YOU MIND IF WE COME IN?

OF COURSE.

'�COURSE.

YOU SHOULDN'�T HAVE TOLD THAT TALE ABOUT THE TEACHER, NADINE.

I DIDN'�T TELL TALES ABOUT NOBODY.

MA'�AM, YOU TOLD ANOTHER OFFICER

THAT JEANETTE MARSHALL BRINGS MEN

ONTO YOUR PROPERTY--

TRESPASSES FOR INDECENT PURPOSES.

DID ASHE CROWE TELL YOU TO?

ASHE CROWE'�S A FRIEND.

MY LATE HUSBAND WAS HIS BEST CUSTOMER.

NADINE. NADINE. NADINE.

WHY DID YOU TELL THAT LIE FOR HIM?

HE SAID A WICKED WOMAN--

A HARLOT WENT TO THE POLICE

TO SPREAD DIRTY LIES ABOUT HIM.

SO HE DECIDED TO EVEN THE SCORE.

I GUESS IT WAS WRONG,

BUT THAT WOMAN WAS LYING TO Y'�ALL.

ASHE CROWE WOULD NEVER FORCE HIMSELF ON ANY WOMAN.

HE'�S A GENTLEMAN.

YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN RIDICULOUS?

MAKING LOVE IN A CAR DON'�T SOUND RIDICULOUS TO ME.

SOUNDS EXCITING.

MAYBE TO SOMEONE 18.

I'�M 35, SUGAR.

THAT'�S WHAT'S ON YOUR DRIVER'�S LICENSE,

BUT I KNOW WHAT IS INSIDE YOUR HEAD.

WELL, WHO NEEDS TO BE SMART?

I DON'�T KNOW.

IT'�S BETTER TO BE FUN.

[STRUGGLING]

[RADIO PLAYS COUNTRY MUSIC]

HELLO?

LOWELL?

LOWELL?

AAH!

AAH!

LOOK AT THIS.

MUST HAVE JUST HAPPENED.

HUH.

SO DID THAT.

WE GOT ANY CASTING EQUIPMENT WITH US?

SURE ENOUGH DO.

I'�LL GET IT.

ANY SIGN OF INJURIES BESIDES AROUND THE NECK?

NO. NONE AT ALL.

MISS MARSHALL DOESN'�T THINK IT WAS A SUICIDE,

BUT IT SURE LOOKS LIKE IT.

MM-HMM.DOESN'�T IT?

YEAH, BUT MAYBE THAT'�S WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE.

IS THAT HIS WRITING?

YEAH. SOME CANCELED CHECKS.

WHERE IS JEANETTE MARSHALL?

SHE'�S IN THE DINING ROOM.

THIS HANDWRITING INTERESTS ME.

WHY?

THE WAY HE WROTE THESE CHECKS TELL ME HE'�S RIGHT-HANDED.

LOOK AT THE KNOT ON THAT NOOSE.

YOU MEAN, IT'�S ON THE LEFT.

YEAH. RIGHT-HANDED PEOPLE ALWAYS KNOT THE NOOSE ON THE RIGHT.

ABOUT THAT NYLON ROPE.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

WE COULDN'�T FIND IT ON THE PREMISES, SIR.

YOU MEAN ALL HE HAD WAS EXACTLY WHAT HE NEEDED

TO HANG HIMSELF?

IT DOESN'�T SEEM LIKELY, DOES IT?

IT SURE DOESN'�T.

HOW MUCH LONGER AM I GOING TO HAVE TO STAY?

I FEEL SICK, MY HEAD HURTS,

AND I'�VE GOT CATS TO FEED.

WELL, THE CHIEF'�S COMING NOW.

MISS MARSHALL, I UNDERSTAND THAT LOWELL KESSLER

WAS YOUR BOYFRIEND.

HE WAS A FRIEND.

INTIMATE FRIEND?

WE SAW EACH OTHER A LOT LATELY.

WHAT IS "LATELY"?

ABOUT A MONTH.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW HIM ALIVE?

AT ABOUT 11:00 LAST NIGHT.

DO YOU THINK THAT CROWE MURDERED LOWELL?

I DON'�T KNOW FOR SURE WHETHER ANYBODY MURDERED HIM.

WELL, HE DIDN'�T KILL HIMSELF.

HE WASN'�T THAT KIND OF GUY. HE LOVED LIFE.

HE HAD FUN. HE HAD NO BIG PROBLEMS,

AND HE WAS JUST A NICE GUY,

AND THIS IS JUST THE MOST TERRIBLE AWFUL THING.

I FEEL SICK.

I'�M FEELING REALLY SICK.

LUANN, LUANN, GO WITH HER.

CHIEF, I WOULD BET THAT DR. ROBB WILL SEE THAT LOWELL WAS KILLED

BEFORE HE WAS HUNG.

HIS LIMBS HAD NOT RELAXED.

I THINK RIGOR MORTIS HAD SET IN

BEFORE HE WAS HAULED UP THERE.

AND THEN WHOEVER HAULED HIM UP THERE

MUST HAVE CUT OFF THE EXCESS LINE AND TAKEN IT.

IMAGINE HOW SURPRISED I WAS.

THAT'�S THE FIRST TIME YOU EVER CALLED ME.

HOW COME YOU AIN'�T TEACHING YOUR 10:00 COMPUTER MATH CLASS?

I'�M NOT WELL, CROWE.

I HAD TO TALK TO YOU.

I SAW POLICE CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF LOWELL'�S HOUSE.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING ON HIS STREET?

GETTIN'� RID OF TRASH.

I SAW YOUR CAR PARKED THERE, TOO.

YOU KILLED HIM, DIDN'�T YOU?

WHAT IF I SAID YES?

WOULD THAT MAKE YOU REPENT?

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME?

I ONLY WANT TO ADMIRE YOU.

REPENT, AND I'�LL SEE YOU'�RE FORGIVEN.

WHY DIDN'�T YOU LET LOWELL REPENT?

I AIN'�T INTERESTED IN LOWELL.

I CAN'�T TRUST YOU.

YOU SAY REPENT.

I'�D REPENT, AND YOU'D JUST PUNISH ME ANYWAY.

'�CAUSE YOU'RE VILE.

IF I REPENT, WILL YOU LOVE ME?

I CAN'�T LOVE YOU,

BUT I CAN FORGIVE YOU.

AND THEN WHAT?

SUPPOSE I REPENT,

AND THEN I STILL WANT TO LOVE SOMEONE ELSE?

'�CAUSE I WILL. I'�M NOT LIKE YOU, CROWE.

I MUST HAVE LOVE IN MY LIFE.

EVIL IS WHAT YOU MUST HAVE.

WHAT YOU HATE, I CAN'�T LIVE WITHOUT.

MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'�T LIVE AT ALL.

CROWE, WAIT!

CHIEF, YOU THERE?

YES, LUANNE, DID YOU GET HIM?

I DON'�T THINK WE GOT ENOUGH.

THOUGH HE DID SAY SHE OUGHT TO BE DEAD.

WHY CAN'�T PARKER GET JUDGE GARRISON ON THAT PHONE?

LISTEN, BRING IN THAT TAPE.

IT'�LL BACK UP A SEARCH WARRANT.

CHIEF, HE LEFT LIKE HE HAD SOMETHING IN MIND.

ALL RIGHT, LUANNE, BRING IT IN.

RIGHT, CHIEF.

CHIEF, WHAT IF JUDGE GARRISON

IS HIS USUAL UNCOOPERATIVE SELF?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HE WON'�T GIVE SEARCH WARRANTS OVER THE PHONE.

IF HE IS HIS USUAL UNCOOPERATIVE SELF,

I'�LL BE MY USUAL CHARMING SELF.

JUDGE IS ON LINE TWO.

JUDGE GARRISON, BILL GILLESPIE HERE.

HOW ARE YOU? YES.

LONG TIME.

BEFORE I SAY ANOTHER WORD,

HOW'�S LINDA SUE?

POLICE. OPEN UP.

COME ON, NOW. WE GOT A WARRANT OUT HERE.

THESE SURE HAVEN'�T BEEN RUNNING AROUND A HEALTH CLUB.

LET'�S SEE IF THEY MATCH OUR CASTS, HUH?

VIOLENT PORNOGRAPHY.

WHAT CAN A MAN SEE IN THIS?

HEY.

JUST KEEPS ON ADDING UP, HUH?

BUBBA, LOOK WHAT WE'�VE GOT HERE.

SOME KIND OF EXPLOSIVE.

SURE IS.

IT'�S PLASTIC. LOOKS LIKE A C-4 COMPOSITION.

THEY USE THIS IN THE MILITARY.

PROBABLY GOT RIPPED OFF FROM AN ARMORY.

GOOD LORD, THE MAN'�S BUILT A BOMB.

ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE,

CROWE WAS MOST LIKELY MAKING A PACKAGE BOMB.

LET ME SEE THAT THING.

I'�VE HEARD OF THESE THINGS.

THEY EXPLODE WHEN YOU OPEN THEM.

ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL.

WHERE'�S JEANETTE?

SHE SHOULD BE BACK AT SCHOOL.

VIRGIL, YOU COME RIDE WITH ME.

NOW, PARKER, GET THE BOYS.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[BELL RINGS]

BOY: WAIT UP!

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[KIDS YELLING]

OH, MAN, DARLIN'�, DID YOU SEE A MAN RUNNING THROUGH HERE?

SURE DID. THAT WAY.

LOOK HERE, EVERYBODY. HE'�S HEADING WEST.

COVER ALL EXITS ON THAT SIDE.

Tibbs: SWEET, STAY BY THE ENTRANCE. WE'�RE COMING IN.

YES, SIR. JAMISON AND BUBBA SIGHTED HIM. THEY'�RE AFTER HIM.

NOTHING IN HERE.

WHERE'�S THAT BOMB?

RIGHT WHERE IT SHOULD BE.

TOO LATE. IT'�S ALL OVER.

YOU BETTER FIND THAT TEACHER.

VIRGIL, WE GOT TO FIND THAT TEACHER FAST.

THE BOMB'�S BEEN DELIVERED. YOU COPY?

VIRGIL, TALK TO ME.

VIRGIL!

THERE MIGHT BE A BOMB.

WE HAVE TO CLEAR THE SCHOOL.

WHERE'�S JEANETTE'�S CLASS?

107. DOWN TO THE RIGHT.

MINUS 4ac, DIVIDED BY 2a.

WH-WHAT'�S THE MATTER?

DID YOU FIND A BOX OR CARRYING CASE?

NO.

HAVE YOU SEE CROWE?

NO, BUT HE WAS HERE.HOW DO YOU KNOW?

THE CANDY.WHAT?

HE OFTEN BRINGS ME CANDY.

SOMETIMES MY HOUSE, SOMETIMES HERE.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?

USUALLY I GIVE IT THE OLD HEAVE-HO.

MARY LOU, WHERE'�D YOU THROW THAT CANDY?

MARY LOU, WHERE IS IT, PLEASE?

GET THE KIDS OUT OF HERE.

GO WITH THEM. QUICKLY.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY OUTSIDE. RIGHT AWAY.

COME ON. QUICKLY. LET'�S GO.

ALL STUDENTS AND PERSONNEL,

EVACUATE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY.

VIRGIL, GIVE ME THE PACKAGE.

NO. WAIT.

I'�M THE BOSS. I DO NOT WANT THE FATHER

OF MY SMALL GODCHILDREN FOOLING WITH THIS.

EASY. EASY.

DON'�T WORRY. IT WILL ONLY EXPLODE

WHEN YOU START TO UNWRAP IT.

NOW GO AND OPEN THAT DOOR FOR ME.

GO ON.

I READ THAT MANUAL ON THIS.

SEE, THE PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE IS WIRED

TO A COUPLE OF BURGLAR ALARM CONTACTS.

THE CIRCUIT'�S BROKEN WHEN THE PACKAGE IS OPENED.

THEN THE LETTER BOMB OR PACKAGE BOMB EXPLODES BUT ONLY THEN.

ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

IT GOES IN HERE, CHIEF. WE'�LL TAKE IT.

WHO GAVE YOU THAT?

SHERIFF McCOMB SENT IT OVER.

COME ON. THIS THING'�S GETTING HEAVY.

THEN AGAIN, IT MAY BE THE SAME OLD CANDY.

CANDY? IS THAT WHAT HE BROUGHT HER?

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

I TOLD YOU. I ALWAYS KNOW.

NOW I'�M STARTING TO BELIEVE YOU.

SO, YOU FOLLOWING ME?

WELL, UH, CHIEF WAS JUST WONDERING HOW YOU WERE.

HOW SHOULD I BE AFTER BEING FIRED?

GONNA LEAVE SPARTA?

ONLY IF THEY RUN ME OUT OF TOWN.

THINK THEY WILL?

NO.

THINK THEY MIGHT TRY?

I THINK THEY BETTER NOT.

WHAT WOULD YOU ADVISE ME TO DO?

I WOULD ADVISE YOU NOT TO MAKE FRIENDS

IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.

BO, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?

YOU KNOW, HE'�S RIGHT.

THIS REALLY IS A SORRY JOINT,

AND I SHOULD KNOW,

BECAUSE I'�VE BEEN WORKING HERE A LONG TIME.

NOTHING NICE EVER HAPPENS HERE?

NICE?

NOTHING I EVER HEARD OF.

YOU KNOW, I HEAR IN JACKSON

THEY GOT A VIDEO DATING SERVICE.
