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

LADIES.GOOD MORNING, BUBBA.

APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS, DIANE.

WELL, NOW, THAT'S A BIRD FEEDER,

IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING.

HEY, DWIGHT, HOW YOU DOING?GOOD TO SEE YOU, BUBBA.

THAT ONE'S FOR A HUMMINGBIRD.

I GOT THIS GUY THAT COMES AROUND EVERY MORNING,

HOVERS AROUND LOOKING FOR SOMETHING.

I GOT ONE SET ASIDE FOR MRS. VIRGIL TIBBS.

THE TIBBS FAMILY GOING TO BE IN JACKSON TILL CHRISTMAS.

WHAT'S HE STUDYING, TO BE A D.A.?

YEAH...

SOME KIND OF LAWYER, ANYWAY.

DWIGHT...

I THINK I'M GOING TO TAKE THAT ONE RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S A GOOD CHOICE.

I GOT ONE FOR YOU RIGHT HERE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A STRETCH

SINCE YOU JOINED US FOR SUNDAY DINNER.

I HOPE THAT'S AN INVITATION.

LAURA WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU.

HEY, HOW'S SHE DOING, ANYWAY?

COULDN'T BE BETTER. STILL MY LITTLE ANGEL.

[RING]

SPARTA POLICE DEPARTMENT. PARKER WILLIAMS SPEAKING.

THIS IS VERA GILLMAN.

HELLO, MISS GILLMAN. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

YOU COULD SEND SOMEONE OVER TO 1840 MAGNOLIA.

ARE YOU IN SOME KIND OF TROUBLE, VERA?

NO, NOT ME, PARKER.

IT'S MY NEIGHBOR-- DAVID MONROE.

HIS HOUSE IS BEING ROBBED.

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

I SAW A GIRL CLIMB IN THE LIVING ROOM WINDOW JUST NOW.

ARE YOU POSITIVE SHE'S NOT MAYBE A LADY FRIEND

OF THIS DAVID MONROE FELLA?

SHE MIGHT COULD BE, CONSIDERING ALL THE GOINGS-ON NEXT DOOR.

THAT DON'T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE.

IF YOU DON'T GET HER OUT, I WILL.

YES, MA'AM.

I'LL SEND SOMEBODY RIGHT OUT.

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

[TELEPHONE DISCONNECTS]

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

[RING]

YOU WANT TO GET THAT, JEANIE,

IF YOU'RE NOT TOO BUSY?

HEART OF DIXIE REALTY.

DAVID MONROE, PLEASE.

I'M AFRAID HE'S NOT IN THE OFFICE RIGHT NOW.

CAN I TAKE A MESSAGE?

WHERE IS HE?

HE'S OUT SHOWING A HOME.

CAN I GIVE HIM A MESSAGE?

YEAH. TELL HIM HIS HOUSE JUST GOT ROBBED.

ANYTHING ELSE?

NO. ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?

I GUESS SO. I'LL TELL HIM.

ANYONE HOME?

MR. MONROE?

HE AIN'T IN THERE.

MIGHTN'T HE JUST BE?

NO, HE MIGHTN'T.

HE'S PROBABLY OUT SHOWING

SOME FAMOUSLY LOUSY HOUSE TO SOMEONE.

DAVID, IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE HOME ALREADY.

OF COURSE, IT IS A LITTLE SMALL FOR THAT PRICE.

WELL, IT DOES HAVE A BIG BEDROOM.

I'M SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO PUT THAT TO GOOD USE.

DAVID, WHAT A CHARMER YOU ARE.

I THINK YOU'RE TERRIFIC.

AND I WANT YOU.

YOU JUST NEVER GIVE UP, DO YOU?

WELL, GIVING UP NEVER GOT A MAN MUCH LOVING.

MUST I REMIND YOU AGAIN, MR. MONROE?

I AM A MARRIED WOMAN.

THE MOST IRRESISTIBLE WOMEN ARE ALL MARRIED.

[LAUGHS]

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO BE MINE.

GOD, IT'S SO CUTE.

WELL, IT IS A LOVE NEST.

IT REALLY IS.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

THE CITY COUNCIL WANTS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

TO DO 100 PERCENT MORE THAN IT'S BEEN DOING.

Y'ALL JUST WANT US TO DO IT ON 33.3 PERCENT LESS MONEY.

WELL, NOT EXACTLY A THIRD LESS.

THAT'S NOT EXACTLY THE QUESTION I ASKED.

WELL, NOW, DON'T TAKE IT SO PERSONALLY, CHIEF.

YOURS IS NOT THE ONLY DEPARTMENT FEELING THIS CRUNCH.

IT SEEMS AS IF I'VE HEARD THAT SONG BEFORE.

BOTH THE WORDS AND THE MUSIC.

HEY, BILL, HOW YOU DOING?

COME IN AND HELP ME.

GOOD AFTERNOON, HARRIET.

AFTERNOON.

HE CAN'T HELP YOU.

LISTEN. WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF MONEY,

WHY DON'T YOU JUST STOP FEEDING

YOUR PRISONERS DOWNSTAIRS?

NOW HE'S TRYING TO BE FUNNY.

TURN 'EM ALL LOOSE.

TELL 'EM TO GO HOME FOR THEIR MEALS

OR VISIT SOME KIND FRIENDS.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THAT

WHEN I WAS CHIEF.

WELL...

GOOD AFTERNOON, GENTLEMEN.

Y'ALL HAVE A NICE DAY.

CHIEF, JUST GOT A MAKE ON THAT LICENSE PLATE.

B AND E?YES, SIR.

YOUNG GIRL CLIMBED THROUGH SOME GUY'S WINDOW--

DAVID MONROE. YOU KNOW HIM?

NO.

I DON'T THINK IT WAS BREAKING AND ENTERING.

WELL, THE CAR BELONGS TO A LAURA ANN FOSTER.

WELL, EXCUSE ME FOR BARGING IN,

BUT DWIGHT FOSTER HAPPENS TO BE

THE DEACON AT MY CHURCH.

AND?

AND HIS DAUGHTER'S LAURIE ANN,

AND I KNOW THE GIRL.

SHE'S NOT THE TYPE OF KID

THAT'S GOING TO GO AROUND BREAKING THE LAW.

I KEEP HEARING OLD SONGS AROUND HERE TODAY.

YOU WANT TO TALK TO HER?

NO, UH, BUT I WILL. I WILL.

BILL...

YOU THINK HARRIET IS A LITTLE TOUGH ON ME 'CAUSE...

WELL, 'CAUSE I TOOK YOUR PLACE?

NO, NO.

SHE'S JUST TOUGH.

SHE'S TOUGH.

BUT FASCINATING.

HEY.

OH, HEY, BUBBA.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU TODAY?

WELL, PROBABLY NOTHING.

WHAT?

SOMEBODY TOOK DOWN THE LICENSE NUMBER ON A CAR.

WHEN WE RUN A CHECK ON IT, IT WAS YOUR CAR.

MY CAR?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HONEY, YOU DIDN'T, UH...

SNEAK INTO SOME GUY'S HOUSE TODAY, DID YOU?

BUBBA, COULD WE TAKE A WALK?

YEAH. SURE.

YES, BUBBA, I DID.

I BROKE INTO DAVID MONROE'S HOUSE.

YOU DID?

PLEASE DON'T TELL MY DADDY.

LAURIE, DARLING, UH...

YOU GOT A LOT MORE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAN YOUR DADDY.

BELIEVE ME, I KNOW THAT.

HERE.

"AZT."

THAT'S THE, UH, MEDICATION FOR AIDS, ISN'T IT?

BUBBA...

I WANT YOU TO CHARGE DAVID MONROE WITH MURDER.

MURDER?

WHO'D HE KILL?

ME.

[WOMAN] I'VE BEEN GONE TOO LONG.

[DAVID] SO HAVE I.

[DAVID LAUGHS]

[LAUGHING]

[BUBBA] ALL RIGHT. THEN WHAT WOULD YOU CALL

KNOWINGLY GIVING SOMEONE THE AIDS VIRUS?

THE KEY WORD HERE IS "KNOWINGLY."

LET ME GET MY ANSWER FIRST.

WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT?

ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO KILL, RIGHT?

WELL, WE CAN'T KNOW WHAT HIS INTENT WAS, CAN WE?

WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF HE WAS TRYING TO GIVE IT TO HER?

THE POINT IS, HE DID.

DIDN'T WE HAVE A CASE

WHERE THEY SAID THE GUY HAD AN EVIL HEART?

YOU MEAN A DEPRAVED HEART.

THAT'S IT. DEPRAVED HEART.

THE MAN WAS CHARGED WITH MURDER

BECAUSE THEY SAID HE ACTED WITH A DEPRAVED HEART.

IF EVER A MAN HAD ONE, IT'S DAVID MONROE.

WHAT DO WE DO?

THERE'S NO PRECEDENT IN MISSISSIPPI INVOLVING A CASE LIKE THIS.

THEN SET ONE.

THERE WAS A CASE LIKE THIS IN FLORIDA.

THE LAW REQUIRES PROOF OF ACTUAL TRANSMISSION.

NOW, HOW DO YOU PROVE THAT?

THE COURTS ARE CROWDED ENOUGH ALREADY.

I'M NOT GOING TO ADD ONE MORE NO-WIN PROSECUTION.

THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE WON BY TAKING THIS TO COURT.

NO, SIR.

IT'S NOT WORTH TRYING, CHIEF.

BUBBA...

YOU GO HOME TONIGHT, DARNELL.

YOU TAKE A LONG, HARD LOOK AT YOUR LITTLE GIRL.

THEN YOU TELL ME IT'S NOT WORTH TRYING.

[DR. DAY] YOU HAD THE COMPLETE PHYSICAL EXAM

ON THE 15th OF LAST MONTH.

AND TWO EXTRA BLOOD TESTS SINCE THEN.

NO CHANGE, LAURIE.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO BE DONE?

WE CAN SLOW DOWN THE PROCESS.

THERE ARE DRUGS THAT HAVE BEEN EFFECTIVE.

YEAH, LIKE AZT. I KNOW.

THE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER ABOUT HIV

IS THAT STRESS DOES IT NO GOOD.

A STRONG MENTAL ATTITUDE--

PLEASE.

LAURIE...

I'LL HAVE TO REPORT YOUR NAME

TO THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

WH...

WHY?

IT'S THE RULE.

THIS IS A COUNTY HOSPITAL,

NOT A PRIVATE CLINIC.

OH, THAT'S JUST GR--

WHO ELSE ARE WE GOING TO TELL?

I THINK YOU OWE IT TO YOUR SEXUAL PARTNERS

TO INFORM THEM YOU'VE BEEN INFECTED.

THEY'LL NEED TO BE TESTED.

SEXUAL PARTNERS?

THERE'S ONLY ONE GUY TO TELL,

AND HE ALREADY KNOWS.

HEY.

HEY.

BOY, YOU LOOK ABOUT AS BAD AS I FEEL.

YEAH, I KNOW.

WHAT IS IT?

LAURIE, I CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT DAVID MONROE.

YOU'RE GOING TO LET HIM GO ON DOING WHAT HE'S DOING?

LAURIE, I CAN'T ARREST THE MAN.

THE D.A. WON'T BRING ANY CHARGES AGAINST HIM.

SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO STOP HIM, BUBBA,

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

O.K.

I'VE GOT YOUR CHECK.

NOW, CARL'S GOING TO HAVE TO SIGN THIS

BEFORE I CAN MAKE THE OFFER.

THEN THE NEXT MOVE'S REALLY UP TO THE OWNER.

I JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT.

BUT AS YOU KNOW,

I HATE TO BE KEPT WAITING.

WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT.

CAN I HELP YOU?

I'M LOOKING FOR DAVID MONROE.

I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.

AND I WILL GIVE YOU A CALL, MRS. NAYLOR,

THE MINUTE I HAVE ANY NEWS.

THANK YOU.

SURELY.

YE--

I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T CATCH THE NAME.

SKINNER.

CAPTAIN SKINNER, SPARTA POLICE.

OH, UM...

IF THIS IS ABOUT THE BREAKING AND ENTERING,

I'VE ALREADY TOLD CHIEF FORBES

I WON'T BE PRESSING CHARGES.

THIS AIN'T AN OFFICIAL CALL.

UH-HUH.

WHY DON'T WE STEP INTO MY OFFICE?

UM...

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU TODAY, CAPTAIN?

YOU CAN EXPLAIN HOW YOU CAN EVEN THINK ABOUT

HAVING UNSAFE SEX WITH LAURIE FOSTER.

OH, WELL, EXCUSE ME FOR SAYING SO,

BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS.

I'M MAKING IT MY BUSINESS.

UNLESS THIS IS AN OFFICIAL POLICE MATTER,

I BELIEVE THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER.

THANK YOU.

THERE'S A GIRL OUT THERE LOOKING AT A SHORT LIFE,

BUT YOU JUST DON'T CARE.

WELL, WHY SHOULD I?

THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT, ISN'T IT?

AFTER ALL, SOMEBODY GAVE IT TO ME, DIDN'T THEY?

OHH!

YOU KNOW, THE LAW CAN'T EVEN NAME YOUR CRIME,

MUCH LESS PUNISH IT.

BUT YOUR MAKER GOING TO PUNISH YOU.

YOU JUST THINK ABOUT THAT

WHILE YOU'RE WAITING TO MEET HIM.

[DOOR OPENS]

CARL, YOU'RE HOME EARLY.

WHERE YOU BEEN?

I WENT TO LOOK AT OUR NEW HOUSE.

YEAH, I KNOW THAT.

I ALSO SAW WHAT YOU WAS DOING THERE

AND WHO YOU WAS DOING IT WITH.

[DOOR OPENS]

HELLO, DEE.

EVENING, MR. DARNELL.

WELL...

I'M GOING TO INDICT HIM.

MONROE?

I TALKED TO AN ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL

AT THE CAPITAL ABOUT STATUTE 97-319,

THE ONE THAT GILLESPIE MENTIONED.

THE DEPRAVED HEART.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WE WON'T HAVE TO PROVE INTENT.

AND YOU GOING TO INDICT HIM FOR MURDER, RIGHT?

I'M NOT SAYING I CAN WIN IT.

THE CHARGE THAT MONROE GAVE IT TO HER

IS ALL CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

WELL, AT LEAST YOU'RE CONCERNED ENOUGH TO TRY.

DARNELL, UH...

ABOUT THIS MORNING, UH, WELL...

I WAS A LITTLE FIRED UP.

BUBBA,

THE CASE IS WORTH TRYING.

AND THANK GOD IT ISN'T MY LITTLE GIRL.

UM, IT'S LATE, BUT, UH,

LAURIE WOULD WANT TO KNOW.

SHE AIN'T THERE.

[MUSIC PLAYING ON CAR RADIO]

[MUSIC STOPS]

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

$25,000.

SURE.

[GUNSHOTS]

FOLKS, COULD YOU STAY BACK BEHIND THE LINE?

Y'ALL HAD TO KNOW ABOUT THIS GUY HAVING HIV.

THAT DON'T MEAN THE REST OF SPARTA HAS TO KNOW.

YES, SIR.

CHIEF, WE HAVE POWDER BURNS ON THE GLASS.

SHOOTER MUST'VE BEEN STANDING

RIGHT OUTSIDE THE WINDOW.

THE BULLET THAT HIT THAT COMPUTER LOOKS PRETTY DAMAGED.

FIRST SHOT MUST'VE KILLED HIM.

MM-HMM.

ALL RIGHT.

CHIEF...

ONE OF THE MEN HERE HEARD THE SHOTS,

BUT THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE.

THIS IS THE WOMAN WHO CALLED US EARLIER-- VERA GILLMAN.

MISS GILLMAN, WHAT'D YOU SEE?

WELL, I DIDN'T SEE NOTHING.

I HEARD SOME SHOTS, THEN A CAR TOOK OFF.

DID YOU SEE THE CAR?

NO. WHEN I GOT TO THE WINDOW, IT WAS GONE.

HOW MANY SHOTS DID YOU HEAR, MA'AM?

MMM, TWO, I THINK.

DID YOU SEE ANYBODY?

I SAW THAT GIRL AGAIN.

WHAT GIRL?

YOU MEAN LAURIE FOSTER?

I MEAN THE GIRL THAT BROKE IN.

YOU SAW HER AGAIN?

MM-HMM.

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?

NOT LONG BEFORE I HEARD THE SHOTS.

OH, ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

WHAT WAS SHE DOING?

DRIVING BY DAVID'S HOUSE REAL SLOW-LIKE.

SHE'S UP TO SOMETHING, IF YOU ASK ME.

WELL, DID SHE STOP?

WELL, NO.

SHE JUST WENT BY.

THANK YOU, MISS GILLMAN.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

FOUND SOME SKID MARKS.

LOOKS LIKE A STANDARD DOMESTIC.

WHAT DOES LAURIE FOSTER DRIVE?

AN ESCORT.

I FOUND THIS IN THE TRASH.

YES?

LAURIE?

YES.

I'M CHIEF FORBES,

AND THIS IS LIEUTENANT JAMISON.

MAY WE COME IN?

DO YOU, UH, STILL LIVE HERE WITH YOUR DADDY?

YEAH. HE'S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW.

ARE YOU EXPECTING HIM BACK SOON?

WHY?

MAYBE WE'LL WAIT FOR HIM.

WHEN DID HE GO OUT, MISS?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW DAVID MONROE?

YES.

HE'S BEEN KILLED.

WHAT?

WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO CRY.

I WOULDN'T EXPECT YOU TO.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR SITUATION.

DID YOU GO OVER TO DAVID'S TONIGHT?

NO.

NO, HUH?

YES, BUT I DIDN'T GO IN.

I COULDN'T FACE HIM.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

I CAME BACK HOME.

LAURIE, I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW...

IF DAVID MONROE WAS STILL ALIVE NOW,

I'D...BE ARRESTING HIM FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER.

YOU HATE THIS, DON'T YOU?

I WAS NEVER TOO PARTIAL TO PINK FLOWERS ON THE WALL.

I MEAN, IN THE GARDEN--

SAY NO MORE. FLOWERS WILL STAY OUTSIDE.

NOW, THIS IS MY FAVORITE.

HMM.

WELL...

PICK THAT ONE, THEN, IF YOU LIKE IT.

YOU SEEM TO BE WARMING UP TO THE PLACE.

DON'T GO GETTING ANY IDEAS.

I JUST WANT IT TO BE NICE FOR YOU.

JUST FOR ME?

DON'T START THAT AGAIN.

IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE, BILL.

I'M NOT READY TO COME IN HERE.

YOU MEAN EUGENE ISN'T READY TO COME IN HERE.

NO, I MEAN I'MNOT.

AS YOU SAY, HE'S NOT EITHER.

WHY DON'T YOU SELECT A WALLPAPER THAT APPEALS TO EUGENE?

MAYBE HE WILL MOVE IN WITH US.

THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

HE'S WORSE THAN AN OLD DADDY

I'D HAVE TO CONTEND WITH.

THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A SIGHT-- YOU AND MY DADDY.

[PAGER BEEPS]

[BEEPING STOPS]

YEAH?

OH, REALLY?

WELL...

O.K.

IT'S NEVER GOOD, IS IT?

WELL, WHOEVER KILLED DAVID MONROE

PROBABLY SAVED MORE THAN A FEW LIVES.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

MONROE HAD AIDS.

WASN'T TOO CONCERNED ABOUT WHO ELSE HE GAVE IT TO EITHER.

HE WAS WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT WOMEN?

OH, HE WAS POPULAR.

UM...

I'LL LOCK UP YOUR HOUSE. MY HOUSE?

OURHOUSE.

WELL, THIS SHOULD BE HIM NOW.

I'M SORRY TO KEEP Y'ALL WAITING.

I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF ONE OF DAVID'S APPOINTMENTS.

I CAN'T GET OVER IT.

SO, YOU TWO WERE GOOD FRIENDS, HUH?

WE HUNG OUT SOME.

DID HE EVER DATE ANYBODY WHO WORKS HERE?

MM-MMM.

NO. NOBODY WORTH DATING.

WE USED TO RUN UP TO JACKSON A LOT.

HE GOT BORED WITH THE LOCAL OFFERINGS.

BIG LADIES' MAN, WAS HE?

OH, YEAH.

MOSTLY ONE-NIGHT STANDS.

HE SEEMED TO LIKE IT BETTER THAT WAY.

DO YOU REMEMBER ANY OF THE LADIES' NAMES?

ONLY FIRST ONES.

THERE WAS A DEBBIE AND A SHEILA.

OH, EXCEPT, UH, LAURIE FOSTER.

THEY DATED SOME.

UP TO A FEW MONTHS AGO.

POOR KID, HUH?

SHE MUST BE TAKING IT HARD.

YEAH.

WELL, LOOK HERE.

IF YOU RECALL ANY MORE OF MONROE'S CONQUESTS,

THE NAMES WILL HELP.

WHAT WAS THAT ROW YOU GOT INTO YESTERDAY?

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

IT WAS A PERSONAL MATTER.

OH...

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT DAVID?

HEAR WHAT?

HE WAS KILLED LAST NIGHT.

SOMEBODY SHOT HIM.

THAT'S AWFUL.

CARL, YOU'RE BUYING MISS SIMPSON'S PLACE?

YEAH.

COULD WE GO IN YOUR OFFICE?

SURE ENOUGH. COME ON IN.

FUNNY-LOOKING BULLET. LIKE A MUSHROOM.

IT HIT A BIG BONE IN MONROE'S CHEST.

THIS ONE HIT HIS COMPUTER

AND ISN'T ANY MUCH BETTER.

DO YOU SUPPOSE THE LAB COULD TELL US

ANYTHING ABOUT THOSE TWO SLUGS?

NOTHING MY SCALE CAN'T TELL YOU.

THEY'RE .38s.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

WELL, I WOULDN'T ARGUE WITH DOC'S SCALES.

I NEVER DID.

POINT IS, NEITHER ONE OF THESE BULLETS

IS GOING TO HELP US IDENTIFY THE WEAPON THAT FIRED IT.

I'M TOLD HE KNOWINGLY GAVE HIV TO SOMEONE.

WELL, CHANCES ARE HE GAVE IT TO MORE THAN ONE PERSON.

HOW MANY?

I KNOW YOUR CHIEF THINKS THAT I KILLED DAVID.

I DIDN'T.

I LOVED HIM.

BUT YOU SAID HE HAD TO BE STOPPED.

YOU DON'T GET IT, DO YOU?

I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BY TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.

I MEAN, WHAT CAN THE LAW DO TO ME

THAT DAVID MONROE HASN'T?

I'M SORRY.

DID FORBES SAY ANYTHING ABOUT A GUN?

NO.

DOES YOUR DADDY HAVE ONE?

BUBBA, HE DIDN'T DO IT.

DOES HE HAVE ONE, LAURIE?

IT'S IN THE CLOSET.

WHY WOULD HE DO IT?

I HAVEN'T EVEN TOLD HIM YET.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

CHIEF FORBES WANTS TO TALK TO YOU, LAURIE,

AND YOUR FATHER.

THAT'LL BE THE GUN I GOT THE WARRANT FOR?

YEAH.

COVEY, UH... WOULD YOU TAKE LAURIE OUTSIDE?

YES, SIR. COME HERE, PLEASE.

IT'S BEEN CLEANED.

ARE WE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT MONROE WAS KILLED BY A .38?

THAT'S ABOUT ALL WE'RE SURE OF.

WHEN DID YOU WRITE THIS?

WHEN I FOUND THE AZT.

DID YOU THINK WE WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING

TO STOP DAVID MONROE?

I THOUGHT HE'D GO ON MAKING OTHER PEOPLE SICK.

MAYBE YOU FIGURED YOU COULD DO SOMETHING TO STOP HIM?

ISN'T THAT WHY YOU WERE WAITING

OUTSIDE HIS HOUSE THAT NIGHT?

YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THIS?

YES.

DO YOU USE IT A LOT?

DADDY AND I SHOT A LOT OF GUNS.

THAT'S ONE OF THEM.

DID YOU SHOOT THAT ONE OFF RECENTLY?

THIS WEEK.

UH, LAURIE, YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING MORE

TILL WE HAVE A LAWYER HERE, O.K.?

THAT'S UP TO HER, BUBBA.

IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY.

SERGEANT SHEPHERD...

THIS WAY, HON.

I KNOW IT LOOKS BAD, BUT, UH...

I BELIEVE THAT LITTLE GIRL'S TELLING THE TRUTH.

BUT I CAN ONLY GO BY THE EVIDENCE.

YOU WON'T GIVE HER A PARAFFIN TEST?

IT WILL ONLY TELL US THAT SHE FIRED A GUN RECENTLY.

SHE'S ALREADY ADMITTED THAT.

I THINK SHE FIRED IT PRETTY WELL.

THE REVOLVER WAS SHOT VERY WELL--

ONLY TWO SHOTS FROM OUTSIDE THE HOUSE.

I JUST CAN'T SEE THAT LITTLE GIRL DOING IT.

WHAT CANYOU SEE?

WELL...

HERE'S LAURIE'S DADDY RIGHT NOW.

UH, CHIEF FORBES,

THIS HERE IS DWIGHT FOSTER.

WELL, SIR, HE WANTS TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I KILLED DAVID MONROE.

WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER?

WHAT YOU DOIN', DWIGHT?

HOW DID YOU KILL HIM?

I SHOT HIM WITH A .38.

AND WHERE DID THIS HAPPEN?

AT HIS HOUSE.

HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU SHOOT HIM, DWIGHT?

FIVE, SIX, I THINK.

LISTEN, I HAVE A DAUGHTER OF MY OWN,

AND I'D PROBABLY LIE FOR HER IF I HAD TO.

NOW, YOU KNOW YOU'RE LYING.

DWIGHT, WE AIN'T CHARGING LAURIE WITH NOTHING.

WE HAVE TO HOLD HER TEMPORARILY FOR QUESTIONING.

WELL, HOLD ME.

NO, SIR.

I'M AFRAID YOU CAN'T HELP US.

YOU MIGHT BE STARTING A NEW DIET THIS MORNING,

BUT I'M NOT.

HOW ABOUT GETTING SOME BREAKFAST ON THE TABLE?

TAMARA.

DON'T MAKE ME MAD, NOW.

WE AGREED NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I'D SAY WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT.

AND I SAY WE DON'T.

CARL, DON'T YOU GET IT?

THIS GUY THAT I HAD SEX WITH...

HE HAD AIDS.

LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN THING MONROE WAS WORKING ON

WAS BUYING THAT HOUSE FOR THE NAYLORS.

MONROE MET WITH TAMARA SEVERAL TIMES THAT WEEK,

INCLUDING THE DAY HE WAS KILLED.

HE MET WITH HER, NOT HER HUSBAND?

WELL, IT JUST SAYS TAMARA.

SHE WAS HERE THE DAY I CAME OVER.

THEY ACTED PRETTY COZY.

YOU THINK MONROE AND HER WERE FOOLING AROUND?

FOOLING AROUND WITH WHO?

TAMARA NAYLOR. IS THAT POSSIBLE?

MORE THAN LIKELY, I'D SAY.

OH.

THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN A LOT.

LIKE WHAT?

NAYLOR CAME BY AND WANTED TO WITHDRAW HIS BID ON THE HOUSE.

WHEN WAS THAT?

DAY AFTER MONROE WAS KILLED.

YOU WERE THERE WHEN HE CAME BY.

SEEMED AWFUL FUNNY TO ME.

HE DIDN'T SEEM THE LEAST BIT CONCERNED

ABOUT FORFEITING HIS DEPOSIT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MRS. NAYLOR.

YOU THE NEW CHIEF?

YES.

WE'RE HERE INVESTIGATING THE DEATH OF DAVID MONROE.

WHY ARE YOU INVESTIGATING IT HERE?

'CAUSE YOU KNEW HIM WELL.

NOT ALL THAT WELL.

IT'S BEEN SUGGESTED THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM

GOT PRETTY CLOSE.

WHY WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

IT'S NOT TRUE?

MAYBE YOU CAN TELL US

WHY YOUR HUSBAND BROKE OFF HIS DEAL WITH MR. MONROE.

WE JUST CHANGED OUR MINDS.

THERE'S NO LAW AGAINST THAT.

I DON'T HAVE TO STAND HERE

AND LISTEN TO THESE UGLY THINGS NO MORE.

THAT'S AN UGLY BRUISE YOU GOT.

YOUR HUSBAND DO THAT WHEN HE FOUND OUT ABOUT MONROE?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?

I DIDN'T DO NOTHING.

IF YOUR HUSBAND KILLED MONROE

AND YOU'RE PROTECTING HIM,

YOU'RE AS GUILTY AS HE IS.

IS HE WORTH IT?

YOUR HUSBAND OWNS A .38.

WHERE IS IT?

WELL, HE'S AT WORK, AND, UM...

I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA IF YOU...

[CAR APPROACHES]

JUST GOT HOME FROM WORK, LOOKS LIKE.

EVERETT IN PURSUIT OF THE SUSPECT

FLEEING ON REDGROVE TOWARDS MURRAYFIELD.

DRIVING A CHEVY MALIBU.

[SIREN]

HALT!

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

CALM DOWN.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

IF YOU GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT,

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU

IN A COURT OF LAW.

DADDY, I'LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE, O.K.?

OF COURSE. OF COURSE.

BUBBA...

I'LL SEE YOU SUNDAY, HUH?

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT ABOUT

WHAT I HAVE, AREN'T THEY?

YEAH.

WELL, I CAN'T PUT ALL THE BLAME ON DAVID.

I DIDN'T PROTECT MYSELF.

AIN'T NOBODY GOING TO DO THAT FOR YOU.

NO.

BUT LOOK HERE.

YOU'RE GOING TO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT TREATMENT...

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY,

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP HOPE, YOU HEAR?

HOPE.

THEY GOING TO FIND A CURE.

YOU'LL BEAT THIS THING.

I KNOW, BUBBA.

THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND.

THANK YOU FOR CARING.

PLEASE DON'T STOP.
