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.

COME ON, BOYS. I CAN'�T BE WASTING TIME.

GOT LOTS TO DO BEFORE I LEAVE.

THAT STUFF YOU TAKING AIN'�T YOURS.

IT'�S ALL MISS JOLEEN JOHNSON'�S.

WELL, SHE CAN HAVE IT...

SOON AS SHE PAYS ME LAST FOUR MONTHS RENT.

YOU TELL HER THAT.

I TOLD YOU SHE LEFT SPARTA.

WHERE'�S THE BOY? I'�LL FIND OUT FROM HIM.

WE DON'�T KNOW.

HE'�S LIVING WITH THAT COP VIRGIL TIBBS.

WHO ASK YOU?

I SAY WHAT I WANT NO MATTER WHO ASK.

WHY DON'�T YOU TAKE THAT ONE BACK WITH YOU TO SHREVEPORT?

I GOT SOME GOOD INFO ON THAT LANDLORD,

BUT IT'�S GOING TO COST Y'�ALL SOME MONEY.

Y'�ALL EXPECT ME TO DO YOU FAVORS,

JUST DO ME LIKEWISE.

YOU'�RE WIPING US OUT,

AND WE'�RE PAYING YOU FOR IT.

WHAT?

PAYING YOU TO LET US DIE HERE,

AND FOR THE CRACK THAT'�S GOING TO KILL US.

TELL HIM, BROTHER.

TELL HIM!

WHAT'�S GOING TO HAPPEN?

NOTHING.

EVERYBODY'�S SCARED OF THE TWO BAD ASSES.

YOU'�RE NOT MAKING MUCH SENSE, HERBIE MARR.

EVERY MAN'�S GOT TO PAY FOR WHERE HE LIVES.

HE DON'�T LIKE IT, HE LEAVES,

BUT HE PAYS.

AS FOR WHAT Y'�ALL DO WITH THE REST OF YOUR MONEY,

THAT'�S YOUR CHOICE.

WE GOT ANOTHER CHOICE, MAN.

WE COULD KILL YOU IN SELF-DEFENSE.

SOMETHING COULD SURE ENOUGH HAPPEN ONE DAY.

YOU ON THE PORCH THERE!

YOU GOT A KID NAMED BOBBY JOHNSON LIVING HERE?

HELLO!

I SAY I'�M LOOKING FOR A BLACK KID-- BOBBY JOHNSON.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

I THINK YOU CAN.

I CAN.

I CAN HEAR YOU ALL THE WAY BACK IN THE KITCHEN.

HI.

KEEN PHILBRICK.

I THINK WE'�VE SAID HELLO OR WAVED OR SOMETHING.

YEAH.

SOMETHING.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAYBE SOMEWHERE?

MM-HMM.

SOMEWHERE.

REASON I'�M LOOKING FOR THE BOY--

UM, HIS MAMA OWES ME $1,600.

I'�D LIKE TO GET THAT OFF HER.

THE BOY DOESN'�T LIVE HERE.

I'�M TOLD HE IS.

SOMEONE'�S MISTAKEN.

I DON'�T THINK SO.

I'�M SURE YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.

THERE IS A BALM IN GILEAD

TO MAKE THE WOUNDED WHOLE

THERE IS A BALM IN GILEAD

TO HEAL THE SICK, SICK SOUL...

BOBBY, I NEED SOME HELP HERE.

HI, MISS TIBBS-- LATER, MAN.

THERE ARE TOMATOES, BANANAS, AND APPLES ON THE SEAT.

HELLO, MRS. REESE.

MISS TIBBS.

WHAT YOU GOT THERE?

OOH. THAT LOOKS GOOD.

BOUGHT IT AT THE ROADSIDE STAND.

I COULDN'�T RESIST, BESIDES, I LOVE THAT OLD MAN.

MAYBE BOBBY WILL EAT SOME FRUIT IF YOU BRING IT.

BOBBY, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.

IT'�S AN ENGLISH HANDBOOK.

GRAMMAR, SPELLING, SO ON.

IT'�S DRY READING, BUT I WANT YOU TO GO THROUGH IT.

YOU'�LL BE TAKING A PLACEMENT TEST.

I WANT YOU PAST REMEDIAL CLASSES.

I WISH SCHOOL WOULD START,

BUT I HATE LEAVING MY JOB.

I'�M SAVING MONEY FOR MAMA.

MAYBE MR. HANSON CAN USE YOU AFTER SCHOOL.

HE DON'�T NEED NOBODY--

HE DOESN'�T NEED ANYBODY?

HE DOESN'�T NEED ANYBODY BUT IN THE MORNINGS.

WELL, SCHOOL COMES FIRST.

THIS BOOK'�S FOR MATH AND COMPUTERS.

TELL MISS TIBBS WHAT THAT BOY TOLD YOU.

WHAT?

DON'�T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE NOW.

LANDLORD WENT THROUGH HIS MAMA'�S HOUSE THIS MORNING,

TOOK AWAY EVERY STICK OF FURNITURE.

NOTHING I CAN DO.

CAN HE DO THAT, MISS TIBBS,

WITHOUT GIVING A CHANCE TO PAY WHAT'�S OWED?

IT DON'�T MATTER. WE CAN'�T PAY IT ANYHOW.

I'�LL TALK TO MY HUSBAND ABOUT THIS.

I GOT COFFEE MADE FRESH, MISS TIBBS.

SOUNDS GOOD.

IT'�S FILLED WITH UNSAVORY CHARACTERS.

EXCUSE ME.

GO AHEAD, SWEET.

O.K. HE'�S GOT A GUY DOWN THERE IN A SUIT,

CARRIES A NOTEBOOK, SAYS NOTHING.

TWO UGLIES MOVE STUFF AROUND.

A WOMAN SPIES FOR HIM, AMONG OTHER THINGS.

DO WE KNOW MORE THAN BEFORE?

CAN WE PROVE THE DRUG BUSINESS?

SURE. I MEAN, UH...

DAWES SAYS HE CAN PROVE IT FOR US.

YEAH. FOR HIS USUAL FEE.

JIMMY'�S GOT TO GO ON LIVING, RIGHT?

YEAH.

QUESTION IS, HOW LONG WILL PHILBRICK GO ON LIVING?

I HATE VIOLENCE, ESPECIALLY DOWN THERE.

IT DON'�T MATTER WHO KILLS WHO.

WE'�LL GET BLAMED FOR LETTING IT HAPPEN.

PHILBRICK DOESN'�T GET DOWN THERE VERY MUCH, DOES HE?

HE JUST GOES DOWN TO HANDLE SPECIAL PROBLEMS.

BUT WE SHOULD STILL KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.

HE OUGHT TO HIRE HIS OWN PRIVATE SECURITY.

WHITE LAW PROTECTING THE WHITE LANDLORD.

THAT'�S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HEAR NEXT.

I'�VE HEARD IT ALREADY.

IT'�S A NO-WIN GAME.

WELL, NOW, SWEET, WE'�RE NOT SUPPOSED TO WIN IT.

NOBODY IS.

THE GAME IS SUPPOSED TO COME OUT EVEN.

OUR JOB IS TO MAKE SURE IT DOES.

ANYHOW, THE OVERNIGHT'�S ON YOUR DESK.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

HEY, CHIEF.

PHILBRICK WAS AT MY HOUSE LOOKING FOR BOBBY--

WELL, REALLY LOOKING FOR THE MOTHER.

NOW, WHY?

HE CAN'�T GET ANY MONEY OUT OF THAT WOMAN.

IT'�S POLICY--

WANTS TO LET THE WORLD KNOW RENTS WILL BE COLLECTED

REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

AUNT ETTA SAYS HE STILL MAINTAINS A HOUSE HERE.

OH, YES.

HE'�S THE LAST OF AN OLD, OLD FAMILY,

WIDELY AND WARMLY DISLIKED.

[HONKING]

YOU GOT MY MONEY?

NOT ME.

I WANT TO LEAVE TOMORROW.

CHELLY'�S FLYING IN.

WITH MY MONEY?

CHELLY WANT TO DISCUSS THINGS.

I WANT TO SEE THAT MONEY.

WE'�RE A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT PHILBRICK PHARMACIES.

WHAT?

THAT'�S WHAT THE CATS CALL YOUR TWO CRACK HOUSES

'�CAUSE ALL THE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS YOU HANDLE.

SEE, YOU GETTING A FAMOUS NAME.

WELL, THE PHARMACIES ARE CLOSED.

WE NEED DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

I THINK MAYBE I NEED DIFFERENT PARTNERS,

MAYBE NEW ORLEANS PEOPLE

WHO'�LL BE GLAD TO DO ME THAT FAVOR.

STILL WORRIED ABOUT THAT DUDE IN THE BOTTOMS?

CHELLY'�S TO KILL HIM.

WHY DON'�T YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT YOURSELF?

'�CAUSE IT'S GOT TO COME FROM THE OUTSIDE.

EVERYBODY'�S GOT TO UNDERSTAND IT COMES

FROM SOMEBODY BIGGER THAN ME.

THAT'�S WHAT WE'�VE GOT TO DO TO CONTROL THINGS.

WELL, UH...

CHELLY DON'�T LIKE KILLING PEOPLE,

BUT, UH...

HE'�LL DO WHAT HE NEEDS TO.

WHAT'�S HANSON PAY YOU?

ABOUT $12 A DAY.

I MADE ABOUT $145 SO FAR.

WELL, DID HE TAKE ANY TAXES OUT?

UH-UH.

WELL, THEN, UH...

I GUESS YOU'�RE WHAT THEY CALL

AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.

MAYBE.

WHAT IS IT?

WELL, THAT'�S WHERE YOU PAY YOUR OWN TAXES AND BENEFITS.

THAT'�S ME.

SURE. THAT'�S YOU.

HIYA, BILL.

INTERESTING FELLER BOUGHT GAS HERE FROM ME TODAY.

TWICE THIS MONTH HE'�S BEEN HERE.

ONCE LAST MONTH.

INTERESTING HOW?

EXPENSIVE CAR, VIRGINIA PLATES,

BLACK GUY.

WOULDN'�T BE THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA, WOULD HE?

THAT'�S FUNNY,

BUT IF HE WAS VIRGINIA'�S GOVERNOR,

HE'�D STAY AT ONE OF OUR CLASSY MOTELS, WOULDN'�T HE?

PROBABLY.

AND NOT MISS CALKINS'� UNWHITE ROOMING HOUSE ON CRABTREE.

I RECKON NOT.

AND HE WOULDN'�T BE COMING THROUGH SPARTA EVERY TWO WEEKS EITHER.

ED...

NEXT TIME HE COMES IN HERE FOR GAS,

I WANT YOU TO WRITE DOWN HIS LICENSE NUMBER.

SURE '�NOUGH.

RIGHT.

I WANTED TO PAY TODAY.

WHY?

'�CAUSE YOU'RE TAKING ME TO MY MAMA'�S HOUSE.

I'�M GOING TO KENARD ANYWAY.

I'�M STAYING AT YOUR HOUSE FREE.

YOU'�LL BE PAYING FOR THAT.

WHEN?YOU'�RE GOING TO DRIVE FOR ME.

YOU MEAN NOW?

NO, NO. NOT TILL YOU'�RE OLD ENOUGH FOR A LICENSE.

BY THAT TIME I'�LL BE RETIRED.

I'�LL NEED SOMEBODY TO DRIVE ME AROUND

SO I CAN SIT AND GAZE AT ALL THE SCENERY.

FOR HOW LONG...

TILL MY DEBT'�S PAID?

20, 27 YEARS.

WHO'�S THAT?

MY AUNT BARBARELLA.

OH.

HOW YOU DOING, BOBBY BOY?

I'�M FINE.

IS MAMA INSIDE?

UH-HUH. YEAH. LYING DOWN.

SHE'�S NOT FEELING GOOD TODAY, THOUGH.

UH...

THIS IS CHIEF GILLESPIE.

MM-HMM.

I'�LL SEE YOU LATER, CHIEF.

MORNING, SIR.

GOOD MORNING.

UM...

HAS SHE SEEN THE DOCTOR?

UH-HUH. JUST WENT.

FIRST SINCE BOBBY WAS BORN.

SHE O.K.?

NO, SIR, CHIEF.

SHE BE DYING PRETTY SOON NOW.

DAY OR SO, I SAY.

DOCTOR SAY ANY MINUTE.

AWFUL SUDDEN, ISN'�T IT?

YES, SIR.

WHOLE LOT OF BAD OLD WOMAN STUFF COME UP

AND JUST RAN '�ROUND ALL OVER EVERYWHERE.

NO CHANCE.

OH, LORD.

[HONKING]

[HONKING]

DELONG?

DELONG.

HARRIET DELONG?

I WANT A WORD WITH YOU,

YOU AS CHAIRMAN OF THE POLICE COMMITTEE.

CHAIRWOMAN, MR. PHILBRICK.

CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL.

I'�M REPORTING THE MISCONDUCT OF A SPARTA POLICE OFFICER.

WE MEET REGULARLY WITH THE PUBLIC.

I DON'�T LIVE HERE.

THIS PARTICULAR POLICE OFFICER

LIVES RIGHT THERE WHERE YOU'�RE GOING.

I WANT YOU TO TELL HIM

NEXT TIME HE REFUSES TO ASSIST A SPARTA BUSINESSMAN,

MY ATTORNEY'�S GOING TO SUE THIS CITY.

WILL YOU EXCUSE ME?

I DON'�T KNOW WHAT YOU'�RE TALKING ABOUT.

WELL, VIRGIL TIBBS WILL EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.

YOU SAY WHAT I SAID TO SAY.

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

YOUR LICENSE, PLEASE, SIR?

AND HURRY. YOU'�RE BLOCKING THE STREET.

TAKE IT OUT, PLEASE, SIR.

THANK YOU.

WELL?

WHERE'�S THE CHIEF?

JIMMY, THE CHIEF CAN'�T ALWAYS BE HERE TO MEET YOU.

THE CHIEF ALWAYS TAKES CARE OF ME PERSONALLY.

ASK HIM.

WELL, HE GAVE THIS TO ME

AND SAID GIVE SOME TO JIMMY.

HOW MUCH IS THERE?

SOME'�S FOR OTHER PEOPLE, OTHER THINGS.

COME ON, JIMMY.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US?

PHILBRICK DON'�T HANDLE THE DOPE HIMSELF.

CHELLY AND ERNIE, A WHITE AND A BLACK,

THEY BRING IT IN... ALSO THE MONEY.

EVERYTHING FROM MEMPHIS.

PHILBRICK GOT TWO GUYS.

THEY DELIVER TO HIS TWO HOUSES--

ONE ON DENAULT, ONE ON McGILVEY.

WE KNOW THAT.

THEY'�RE NOT HIS HOUSES.

OH, YES, THEY IS.

THEY UNDER SOMEBODY ELSE'�S NAME.

WHOSE?

BLACK CHICK IN THE BOTTOMS NAME OF CHRISSY RICE.

KEEPS HER IN MONEY.

YEAH, THAT SOUNDS RIGHT.

THAT ALL?SO FAR.

WE WILL BRING YOU NEWS UPDATES AS THE STORY UNFOLDS.

HONEY, WHY CAN'�T YOU WIPE THESE PLACES OUT?

YOU KNOW THEY'�RE THERE.

WE BUST THEM ONCE A MONTH.

ALL WE GET ARE USERS--KIDS.

WE BOOK SOME, THEY GET BAILED,

THEN TRIAL-- CASES ARE DISPOSED OF.

DOES THAT MEAN JAIL?

I BET IT DON'�T.

YOU CAN'�T JAIL ALL OF THEM.

FINES, PROBATION,

THEN THE WHOLE PROCESS STARTS AGAIN.

WE GET NEW FACES, BUT OLD ONES, TOO.

ALL THE VICTIMS,

BUT LIKE DR. VENABELL SAID PREACHING ON SUNDAY--

THE DEMONS-- THE PREDACIOUS DEMONS--

YOU NEVER SEE.

WELL, NOW AND THEN--

HOLD IT.

WE'�RE GAINING ON THEM.

SLOWLY.

GOT WORD ON ONE TODAY-- YOUR FRIEND PHILBRICK.

HE COULD LEAD TO MORE

IF HE'�S NOT KILLED FIRST.

IT'�S UNBELIEVABLE HE'�D GET INTO DRUGS

WITH EVERYTHING HIS FAMILY LEFT HIM.

WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?

I ASKED THE CHIEF THE SAME THING.

HE THOUGHT ABOUT--

WELL, WHAT DID HE SAY?

HE SAID WHEN A MAN DELIBERATELY DOES WHAT DOESN'�T MAKE SENSE,

HE'�S CRAZY.

CHELLY HERE. SAYS HE'�LL TALK TO YOU.

YOU KNOW, ABOUT KILLING SOMEBODY.

WILL HE DO IT?

NO, NOT HIM, BUT HE TALKED TO YOUR BOYS.

HE GOING TO PAY THEM SOME REAL GOOD MONEY.

NOT LIKE YOU.

THEY'�LL DO ANY KILLING NEEDS DOING.

WHERE IS HE?

RIGHT BACK THERE...

WITH THE CAR.

DON'�T GET TOO GENEROUS WITH MY GUYS NOW.

I GOT TO WORK WITH THEM ALL THE TIME.

I THINK A HUNDRED EACH IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.

TELL THE CORONER WE'�LL NEED TWO BODY BAGS

AND THAT THE BACK SEAT'�S COVERED IN BLOOD.

BOTH STABBED?

OVER AND OVER.

BODY'�S IN THERE, MA'AM.

DO I HAVE TO LOOK AT IT?

BETTER HERE THAN AT THE MORGUE.

BESIDES, IT SAVES US TIME.

BUT Y'�ALL KNOW IT'�S MR. PHILBRICK.

WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE GIRL.

YOU MEAN, WHO SHE IS?

WE KNOW WHO SHE IS. TELL US IF YOUKNOW.

IF SHE IS SOMEONE YOU'�VE SEEN MR. PHILBRICK BRING HOME

NOW AND THEN.

YOU KNOW HER?

YOU'�VE SEEN HER HERE IN THIS HOUSE?

SWEET, SEE HER BACK INSIDE.

SIR, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO TURNED THAT CALL IN?

O.K., SIR, THANK YOU.

THERE'�S NO REASON TO PARK THIS CAR OUTSIDE THE HOUSE

AND THEN GET IN THE BACK SEAT.

SOMEBODY PUT THEM BACK THERE.

AFTER HE, OR THEY, KILLED THEM,

THEY DROVE THEM RIGHT TO THIS SPOT AND LEFT THEM.

MY GUESS IS THAT IT'�S BEEN MANY, MANY HOURS.

I BET THE SAME GUY CALLED US WHEN HE WANTED THEM FOUND.

WHAT YOU GOT THERE, RANDY?

IS THAT YOUR CAR RIGHT THERE?

IT'�S HIS BROTHER'S.

YOU FIND THIS CRAP IN THAT OLD CAR?

WHERE'�D YOU FIND THIS CRAP?

IN THAT CAR, UNDER THE SEAT.

I MUST BE A VERY SMART CRIMINAL

TO LEAVE VALUABLE STUFF LIKE THAT

IN THAT OLD HEAP.

THAT'�S A PRETTY GOOD PLACE TO HIDE STUFF.

WHO'�D EVER THINK OF LOOKING IN THAT OLD JUNKER?

THE SAME PEOPLE WHO'�D THINK ABOUT PLANTING IT THERE...

Y'�ALL.

PEAKE, DOROTHY,

Y'�ALL TAKE THEM ON IN NOW.

[BOTTLES CRASH]

HEY, BOY! LOOK, DON'�T RUN.

I CAN CATCH YOU, BUT DON'�T MAKE ME.

I AIN'�T RUNNING.

WHAT YOU DOING HERE?

I LIVE HERE.

NOBODY LIVES HERE.

I MEAN I USED TO.

I'�M BOBBY JOHNSON.

THE BOY THAT LIVES WITH THE CHIEF.

I CAME TO GET SOMETHING MY MAMA LEFT HERE.

WHAT?

IT WAS IN A PILE OF TRASH IN A CORNER.

IS IT SOME PREACHER?

IT'�S A BLACK SAINT.

SEE? IT SAYS HERE ON THE BOTTOM--

SAINT MARTIN DE PORRES.

A WOMAN GAVE IT TO MAMA,

SAID DON'�T NEVER LOSE IT.

SO MAMA TOLD ME TO GO FIND IT.

O.K., BUT I DON'�T WANT YOU INSIDE THAT HOUSE AGAIN,

YA HEAR?

YOU DON'�T NEED TO GO IN TO THAT STREET, EITHER,

AT LEAST FOR A WHILE.

I GUESS MAMA THINKS IT'�S GOING TO SAVE HER OR SOMETHING.

AUNT BARBARELLA,

SHE GOT SOME KIND OF BEADS OR SHELLS.

SHE HAD PUT THEM IN MAMA'�S BED.

AND NOW THIS.

HOW COME PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THESE THINGS?

WELL, UH...

PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THESE THINGS ARE PLEASING TO THE LORD,

AND IF THEY SHOW RESPECT FOR THESE THINGS,

WHY, THE LORD WILL BE PLEASED WITH THEM.

EXCUSE ME, CHIEF.

THEY'�RE WAITING OUT HERE.

THANK YOU, PARKER.

UH, YES, SIR.

COME ON.

MRS. REESE.

I TALKED TO YOUR BOSS.

IT'�S ALL RIGHT. HE DON'�T NEED YOU TODAY.

MY CAR'�S NOT TOO SWIFT,

BUT WE CAN GET TO KENARD AND BACK IN AN HOUR.

BOBBY MIGHT WANT TO VISIT OVER THERE A WHILE.

SURE. SHE MIGHT BE A LOT BETTER TODAY.

NO, SHE AIN'�T.

SHE GOING TO DIE.

THERE WAS SOME VERY LOUD NOISE ON THE COUNCIL THIS MORNING.

TWO MEMBERS OWN BOTTOMS PROPERTY LIKE PHILBRICK'�S,

AND THEY'�RE WORRIED ABOUT A TENANTS'� RIOT.

WHY, THAT'�S JUST SILLY.

CALL IT SILLY,

BUT DELLA PENDELTON ASKED TED MARCUS

IF HE KNEW THE PROCEDURE FOR REQUESTING THE GOVERNOR

TO ALERT THE STATE GUARD.

OH, GOOD LORD.

NOW, CHIEF, THE FELLA WE ARRESTED, HERBIE MARR,

IS THE HEAD OF THE TENANTS'� ASSOCIATION.

SOME TENANTS ARE UPSET THAT WE HAULED HIM IN.

BUBBA SAID WE'�D GET BLAMED NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED.

HE'�S RIGHT.

LOOK AT THE HEADLINE IN TODAY'�S HERALD.

EVEN IF THEY KNEW THE TRUTH, THEY WOULDN'�T PRINT IT RIGHT.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME IDEA?

BETWEEN DELLA WORRYING ABOUT ANOTHER REBELLION

AND TED MARCUS MAKING LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED,

WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE A VOICE OF INTELLIGENCE.

WE THINK IT'�S A DRUG MURDER, HARRIET.

PHILBRICK MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED BY HIS CONNECTION,

WE THINK.

WE GOING TO LET HERBIE GO.

WE ONLY GRABBED HIM

BECAUSE HE PUBLICLY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT KILLING PHILBRICK.

BUT WE HAVE NO SERIOUS REVOLUTIONARY IMPLICATIONS HERE.

WELL, DON'�T GET ME WRONG.

I THINK A REVOLUTION IS LONG OVERDUE.

THAT IS HARDLY THE VOICE OF REASON, HARRIET.

YOU COPS BE THE VOICE OF REASON, O.K.?

I'�LL BE THE VOICE OF WHAT I FEEL.

RIGHT HERE.

GOOD DAY.

YOU SHOULDN'�T ARREST HERBIE MARR FOR KILLING PHILBRICK, CHIEF.

WE KNOW THAT, JIMMY.

ONE OF PHILBRICK'�S MEN DONE IT.

HE KNOWS THE GUY.

I KNOW TWO. WHICH ONE?

I WASN'�T THERE, MAN.

BUT A LITTLE GUY PLANTED THAT STUFF IN THAT JUNKER.

MAKE HERBIE LOOK BAD.

YOU SAW THAT?

I KNOW A GUY WHO SAW IT.

WILL THIS GUY SIGN A STATEMENT?

CHIEF, TELL THAT YOUNG MAN HOW WE WORK.

JIMMY, I NEED THE NAME OF THE MAN

WHO FRAMED HERBIE MARR.

LUCKSVILLE.

STAYS IN MISS CALKINS'� BOARDING HOUSE ON CRABTREE STREET.

YOU'�RE A STABILIZING FORCE IN THIS COMMUNITY.

I TRIES TO DO MY BIT, CHIEF.

THE HOUSES JIMMY DAWES MENTIONED

HAVE NO NUMBERS ON THEM.

THEY ONCE HAD. THEY'�VE BEEN REMOVED.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND.

WE RAIDED THEM BOTH TWICE.

WE CAN GET THE NUMBERS FROM THE POST OFFICE.

WE'�LL FIND PROOF OF OWNERSHIP AT THE TAX REGISTRY.

THEY'�VE GOT TO BE PHILBRICK'�S HOUSES.

WHAT LEGAL ACTION CAN WE TAKE AGAINST A CORPSE?

I'�LL THINK OF SOMETHING.

MORNING.MORNING.

PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME,

AND I'�M SURE THEY'�VE ASKED YOU,

"WHY EVEN HAVE THE BOTTOMS?

WHY DON'�T Y'ALL GO IN AND BULLDOZE THE BOTTOMS AWAY?"

WELL, I'�D HAVE TO SAY

THAT THOSE FOLKS HAVE TWO WRONG NOTIONS GOING--

ONE BEING THAT THE POLICE CAN DO SUCH THINGS

AND TWO, MORE IMPORTANTLY,

THAT DOING SUCH THINGS IS THE WAY TO END THE PROBLEM.

DETECTIVE TIBBS, YOU GOT ANYTHING TO ADD?

UH, YEAH. SORRY FOR BEING LATE.

I WOULD ONLY ADD

THAT THE BOTTOMS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY,

AND WE DO PROTECT PRIVATE PROPERTY,

NO MATTER WHAT WE MIGHT THINK OF IT.

THE ONLY RIGHT WAY WE THE PEOPLE CAN CHANGE THAT PLACE

IS TO BUY IT-- THAT IS, CONDEMN IT--

THEN DO GOOD THINGS WITH IT.

NOW,

SHOULD WE START A COLLECTION TO BUY THE PLACE NOW?

I'�M IN.

UH, WELL...HOW MANY WOULD RATHER NOT CONTRIBUTE RIGHT NOW?

HOW ABOUT

IF WE TOOK A NEW TAX

REGULARLY FROM YOUR PAYCHECKS

TO BUY THIS PLACE AND DO GOOD THINGS?

SO MUCH FOR THE QUESTION "WHY THE BOTTOMS?"

WELL, NOW, LET'�S GO.

BE ON THE LOOKOUT

FOR TWO VEHICLES

A T-BIRD, LATE MODEL, BEARING VIRGINIA PLATES,

AND A WHITE FORD PICKUP.

FIND OUT WHO'�S DOING WHAT WITH THESE VEHICLES.

WE HAVE THREE ASSAULTS, ONE SIMPLE, TWO FELONIOUS,

ONE WITH A DEADLY WEAPON.

ALL IN DISTRICT TWO.

COME ON. CHIEF WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.

HAVE A SEAT.

THE D.A. WANTS ME TO HOLD YOU FOR MURDER

FOR THE TIME BEING.

MEANING, YOU AIN'�T GOT NOBODY, SO KEEP THE BLACK GUY.

WANT ME TO ARREST A WHITE GUY? WHO?

HOW SHOULD I KNOW?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

PHILBRICK WAS A THROWBACK TO SIMON LEGREE,

BUT HE WASN'�T KILLED OVER THAT.

HE WAS KILLED OVER MONEY BY A FELLOW CRIMINAL,

SOMEBODY WHITE LIKE HIM.

SOMEBODY LOCAL?

WHO KNOWS?

WHO KNOWS WHERE ALL THIS DOPE INDUSTRY BEGINS OR ENDS?

YOU COULD BE IN IT YOURSELF.

THAT'�S WHAT THE D.A. SAYS ABOUT YOU,

BUT...

I DON'�T BELIEVE IT.

AND I'�M GOING TO TURN YOU LOOSE.

I'�D LIKE TO KNOW, HOWEVER,

IF YOU EVER SAW PHILBRICK

WITH AN OUT-OF-TOWN WHITE MAN.

NO. I NEVER SAW HIM WITH ANYBODY

BUT THOSE LOCAL GUYS WHO DRIVE AROUND FOR HIM.

DID THEY SUDDENLY FIND A REASON TO KILL THEIR EMPLOYER?

WHO KNOWS?

WHAT ABOUT THE GIRL?

SOMEBODY DIDN'�T LIKE HER MESSING AROUND WITH PHILBRICK?

WELL, NOW, HERBIE,

ALL I WANT FROM YOU IS TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.

UH, CHIEF,

IF I MAY INTERRUPT,

ALTHEA JUST PHONED.

BOBBY JOHNSON CALLED HER FROM OVER IN KENARD.

SHE'�S HEADING OVER THERE TO BE WITH THE BOY.

OH, O.K.

O.K., UH,

I WANT TO TURN HERBIE LOOSE

ON HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE.

O.K.YEAH.

CHIEF, PHILBRICK WAS KILLED BY THE DOPE TRADERS.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

MAYBE HIS TWO BAD ASSES DID IT TO HIM.

THEY PROBABLY DID IF THEY'�RE STILL AROUND TOWN.

WHY WOULD THEY KILL HIM?

THAT'�S ANYBODY'S GUESS. IT HAPPENS.

THE WOMAN?

SHE MUST HAVE BEEN WITH PHILBRICK AND GOT CHOPPED UP, TOO.

YOU ASKED WHAT I THINK.

I THINK YOU SHOULD FIND THEM TWO DRIVERS.

THANK YOU, HERBIE.

ALL UNITS, VIRGINIA T-BIRD AT THE AIRPORT.

NOT 15 MINUTES AGO.

BLACK DRIVER DROPPED OFF WHITE PASSENGER

IN TIME FOR THE MEMPHIS COMMUTER.

CAR HEADING BACK TO TOWN.

GOT A LICENSE ON THAT?

YEAH. JTM 146.

WE GETTING TRADERS ALL THE WAY FROM VIRGINIA NOW?

MAYBE NOT. YOU CAN GET VIRGINIA PLATES BY MAIL.

TELL VIRGIL I'�M OUTSIDE THE HOUSE ON McGILVEY.

NO CUSTOMERS, BUT THERE'�S SOMEBODY IN THERE.

A CHEVY TRUCK'�S IN THE DRIVEWAY.

IS THERE ANYBODY NEAR ME?

[PARKER] I'�M ON MY WAY.

JUST COMING OFF DEXTER NOW.

JAMISON, I'�M GOING TO JOIN YOU. LEAVING NOW.

10-4.

[SWEET] WE'�RE FIVE MINUTES FROM McGILVEY.

YOU NEED US THERE?

NO. STAY WITH MISS CALKINS'� HOUSE.

O.K. WILL DO.

HOW MANY PEOPLE STAY THERE?

SHE CAN HANDLE MAYBE A DOZEN.

THIS IS LIKE MEMORY LANE.

WHY?

I ROOMED THERE TILL I GOT MY PLACE.

WHAT?IT AIN'�T BAD. INSIDE TOILETS, TWO TO A FLOOR.

NICE BIG LOCKS ON THE DOORS.

SHE MAKES A FINE BREAKFAST--

BACON, EGGS, GRITS, AND GRAVY.

I BET IT'�S NOT FOR THE T-BIRD CLIENTELE, IS IT?

IT'�S FOR ANYBODY GOT REASON TO STAY THERE.

I REMEMBER THIS BIG GOLD-DRIPPING DUDE IN A MASSIVE MERCEDES

TRIED TO HIT ON ME,

SAYING, "COME TO NEW ORLEANS WITH ME, BABY."

WHAT A TRIP.

SHOOT, I NEARLY WENT.

WELL, WELL, LOOKIE HERE.

TALKING ABOUT T-BIRDS AND ONE DOES APPEAR.

DEE?

YES, SWEET.

SEND ME AND LUANN SOME BACKUP UP ON CRABTREE.

IT'�S ON THE WAY. THANK YOU.

JAMISON? YEAH, VIRGIL.

PARKER? YES, SIR.

GET IN POSITION. YES, SIR.

GO.

[SIREN BLAST]

[SIREN BLAST]

GOOD MORNING, SIR.

I'�D LIKE TO SEE OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE

AND YOUR DRIVER'�S LICENSE--

POLICE! YOU'�RE UNDER ARREST!

AH, AH. COME ON NOW.

ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT.

UP ON THE CAR.

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

UP ON THE CAR.

WHERE'�S YOUR MAMA?

Y'�ALL DECIDED WHAT YOU'�RE GOING TO DO?

WELL...AHEM.

WE'�VE TOLD BOBBY THAT WE COULD

HAVE HIS MOTHER BROUGHT TO A PLACE IN SPARTA

WHERE... PEOPLE CAN GO AND...

SEE HER FOR A DAY OR SO.

MM-HMM.

AND I KNOW SHE'�D WANT TO LAY THERE

WITH HER HUSBAND AND SON,

'�CAUSE SHE TOLD ME SO.

BUT BOBBY WANT TO BURN HER IN KENARD TOMORROW.

THE LADIES ARE RIGHT.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU'�RE GOING TO REGRET.

YOU JUST WANT TO GET THIS THING OVER FAST.

AND THAT'�S WRONG.

IT'�S AS IF YOU WERE ASHAMED OF HER LIFE.

LET THE LADIES HANDLE THIS.

THAT THE WAY YOU DONE WITH YOUR MAMA?

MM-HMM.

WENT ON FOR DAYS?

THREE, I THINK.

YOU FELT BAD?

SURE DID.

O.K.

WHAT'�S VIRGIL DOING?

OH, HE'�S WRAPPING UP THE SPARTA END OF THIS CASE.

THEN HE'�S GOING TO BE TELEPHONING TO THE FBI.

WRAP UP THE MEMPHIS END.

FIRST SAFE DAY, THANK GOD.

YES, THINK OF HIM BY DAY,

AND LET US ALSO THINK OF HIM

IN THE WATCHES OF THE NIGHT.
