Virgil: WHO'’S THAT?
THAT THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
YOU DON'’T SEE HER KIND MUCH IN SPARTA.
OH, PARKER,
THERE ARE PLENTY OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN HERE IN SPARTA.
YES, SIR, THERE SURE ARE.
BUT THERE'’S SMALL TOWN BEAUTY, AND THERE'’S BIG TOWN BEAUTY.
Parker: THAT LADY'’S SPARTA-RAISED,
BUT SEASONED IN NEW ORLEANS
AND NOW DOMICILED IN GULFPORT.
LONG-TIME FRIEND OF THE CHIEF'’S.
HOW LONG?
OVER 20 YEARS.
UH-HUH. WELL, I GOTTA GET TO MY DESK.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW BEFORE I VENTURE IN THERE?
WELL, SIR, HER NAME'’S GEORGIA. GEORGIA FARREN.
AND THAT THERE IS ONE OF HER BOYFRIENDS, I RECKON.
THEY SAY THAT THE CHIEF AND HER USED TO BE...COZY.
PARKER, EXACTLY WHO IS "THEY"?
"THEY" IS THE KIND OF FOLKS THAT PUT SUCH STORIES AROUND.
WELL, PEOPLE LIKE "THEY" HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO LOSE STRIPES
AND COULD LOSE '’EM AGAIN.
GOOD MORNING, VIRGIL.
GOOD MORNING, BUBBA.
WELL, GEORGIA, I CAN MAKE A COUPLE OF PHONE CALLS,
BUT FIRST LET ME GET THE REGULAR ROUTINE
STARTED '’ROUND HERE.
SWEET OF YOU TO HELP, BILL.
I KNEW YOU WOULD.
LIKE I SAY, I'’VE GOT NOBODY LEFT HERE NOW.
FORGETTIN'’ YOU-KNOW-WHO.YEAH, I KNOW.
NOBODY CLOSE TO ME. EXCEPT YOU.
THE LAST TIME YOU TOLD ME THAT
WAS 20 YEARS AGO THIS PAST JULY.
AND YOU THOUGHT I WAS ONLY TEASIN'’.
Bill: HA-HA! I SURE DID.
OH, MAY I INTRODUCE MY CHIEF INVESTIGATOR, VIRGIL TIBBS.
VIRGIL, THIS IS MISS GEORGIA FARREN.
GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.
HI.HELLO, HOW DO YOU DO?
AND THIS IS HER FRIEND MISTER...?
RAMON PELEZ. IT'’S A PLEASURE.
BILL...
I'’D LIKE TO CHECK OUT BEFORE ELEVEN.
SI,AND BE ON THE ROAD.
FINE. I CAN BE AT THE MOTEL BEFORE ELEVEN O'’CLOCK.
BYE-BYE, MR. TIBBS.
THANK YOU, SIR.BYE-BYE.
GOODBYE, SIR.GOODBYE.
WELL, WELL...
WHAT WAS THAT THING THEY ALWAYS SAID ABOUT THE PAST?
THE PAST IS PROLOGUE.
NO, THAT ISN'’T IT.
HOWEVER, THAT'’S PROBABLY TRUE, TOO.
PROBABLY IS.
EXCUSE ME.
DIDN'’T YOU NOTICE THAT THIS HERE
IS PARKING FOR POLICE VEHICLES ONLY?
I WASN'’T REALLY PARKING, I...
I THOUGHT I COULD WAIT HERE A MINUTE OR TWO.
WELL, IF YOU WERE JUST WAITING TO BE TOLD BY SOMEBODY TO MOVE,
WELL, NOW YOU'’VE BEEN TOLD.
NICE TO SEE YOU OFF-DUTY, CHIEF.
MORNING.
WHY'’D YOU CHANGE?
I ALWAYS LIKED YOU IN UNIFORM.
WELL, THE MANAGER OF THIS PLACE DOESN'’T.
I'’D SAY THE MANAGER ISN'’T A WOMAN.
NO, HE'’S A NERVOUS YOUNG MAN WHO THINKS
THE SIGHT OF A COP BOTHERS HIS GUESTS.
I THINK YOU'’RENERVOUS--
ABOUT BEIN'’ NOTICED SITTIN'’ HERE WITH ME.
MAYBE SO.
WHERE IS MR. PELEZ?
I TOLD HIM I DIDN'’T WANT HIM AROUND.
YOU STILL SAY EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN, DON'’T YOU?
MIGHT AS WELL. PEOPLE KNOW ANYHOW.
YOU BETTER BE KIND TO THAT POOR FELLA.
I CAN TELL, HE'’S VERY FOND OF YOU.
THAT HAS ITS RISKS-- AND HE KNOWS IT.
HERE'’S THE DOCUMENTS.
THE DEED TO GRANNY'’S PLACE...
AND HERE'’S A LETTER THAT SHE WROTE TO ME
AS PAGE FOUR OF HER LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT.
AND HERE'’S THE PIECE FROM THE PAPER WHEN SHE DIED.
'’SCUSE ME.
SOMETHING WE CAN GET FOR YOU, CHIEF?
MISS FARREN?
NOTHIN'’ FOR ME, THANKS.
UH, MAYBE SOME COFFEE, PLEASE.
RIGHT AWAY, CHIEF.
AND HERE'’S HER DEATH CERTIFICATE.
GET CHIEF GILLESPIE A CUP OF COFFEE RIGHT AWAY.
HELLO, LADIES. LOOKING FOR THE ASSISTANCE LEAGUE LUNCH?
YES, WE ARE.RIGHT THIS WAY, PLEASE.
WHO'’S THAT WITH THE CHIEF?
A WOMAN WHO USED TO LIVE HERE...
LONG TIME AGO.
DO YOU KNOW HER?
ONLY FROM THINGS I'’VE HEARD.
HMM.
WHEN YOU TOLD ME YOU'’D NEVER SPLIT WITH OLD KEN,
I WAS REALLY SURPRISED.
'’CAUSE WHEN YOU AND I WERE SPENDING TIME,
YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU AND HE WERE ALL BUT DIVORCED.
I JUST NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT.
AND BESIDES, KEN WAS QUIET,
WASN'’T MAKIN' NO TROUBLE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I HAVE BEEN WITH SOME CRAZY GUYS IN MY TIME,
BUT KEN WAS THE ONLY ONE I WAS EVER SCARED OF.
EXCUSE ME, CHIEF. HERE'’S YOUR COFFEE.
THANK YOU.YOU'’RE WELCOME.
WELL, IT'’S A SHAME,
BECAUSE YOU, IT TURNS OUT,
WERE THE ONLY ONE WITH ANY PROPERTY TO SPEAK OF.
AND, AS YOU SAY,
KEN WASN'’T THE FATHER OF YOUR CHILD.
I SAY IT BECAUSE IT'’S TRUE, BILL.
I DON'’T REMEMBER--
MAYBE BECAUSE I DON'’T WANT TO REMEMBER--
WHEN YOU CALLED THAT TIME AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE CHILD,
WHAT DID I SAY?
YOU SAID...YOU DIDN'’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
THAT IS JUST ABOUT
THE SORRIEST RESPONSE I EVER MADE TO ANYTHING.
WHEN YOU THINK OF ME-- IF YOU EVER DO--
SURE I DO. MORE THAN YOU'’D SUSPECT.
WHAT COMES TO YOUR MIND?
AN UNPRINCIPLED, PROMISCUOUS WOMAN?
NOPE...
A WOMAN MUCH ADMIRED.
NOW, COME ON--
JUST WHO DO YOU EXPECT TO SEE?
I HOPE NO ONE.
AAH!
PUT THAT THING AWAY.
AND BRING THE BAGS INSIDE.
OKAY. IT'’S OKAY, HONEY.
IT'’S JUST YOUR MOM AND THE CISCO KID.
COME ON, LANA. PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER.
WHY IS HE ALWAYS CARRYING THAT GUN,
AND WHY IS HE ALWAYS HERE?
BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO KILL YOUR MOTHER!
CAN I COME AND VISIT YOU JUST ONCE AND NOT FIND HIM HERE?
RAMON, DISAPPEAR FOR A WHILE, HUH?
SUPPOSE SOMEONE SHOULD COME BY HERE.
WELL, HANG AROUND.
STAY IN THE CAR.
PLEASE, RAMON. BE NICE.
PLEASE?
COME BACK AND LIVE WITH ME
AND I PROMISE YOU WON'’T SEE HIM ANYMORE.
AND WHO WILL I SEE, MAMA?
CARL DeLISSA?
THERE'’LL ALWAYS BE SOMEBODY, WON'’T THERE?
WELL, AFTER ALL, AIN'’T NO FLIES ON ME.
NOT YET.
I SEE THAT THING IS BLINKING.
I GOT MESSAGES.
YOU GET WHAT YOU WANTED OUT OF YOUR TRIP?
Georgia: I SIZED THINGS UP, THAT'’S ALL.
[TAPE REWINDING]
[BEEP]
[LANA] MOM, IT'’S THREE O'CLOCK.
IF YOU GET THERE BEFORE I DO,
PLEASE WAIT FOR ME SO WE CAN GO OUT FOR DINNER.
BYE. LOVE YOU.
[BEEP]
[MAN] HEY, YOU THERE, GEORGIA?
[CLICK]
THE VOICE I LOVE TO HATE.
HE EVEN CAME BY MY OFFICE LOOKIN'’ FOR YOU.
[BILL] GEORGIA, I MADE A COUPLE OF CALLS
AND I'’M GOING TO SEE A MAN THIS EVENING.
HE'’S A FIRST-CLASS LAWYER.
HAPPENS TO BE ON THE CITY COUNCIL.
SPECIALIZES IN WILLS AND ESTATES AND SUCH.
HE'’LL LOOK AT THE PAPERS AND LET ME KNOW TOMORROW.
I'’LL CALL YOU AND TELL YOU WHEN TO COME BACK UP.
BYE, NOW.
YOU THINKIN'’ OF MOVIN'’ BACK UP THERE?
WELL, NOT RIGHT THIS MINUTE.
BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE[PHONE RINGS, MACHINE ANSWERS]
THAT I CAN EITHER SELL OR KEEP THAT PROPERTY
WITHOUT ANY OF IT COMIN'’ INTO THE HANDS OF KEN FARREN.
[MAN] STILL AIN'’T THERE, GEORGIA?
SURE...LIKE I AIN'’T HERE.
OKAY, I'’LL BE CLOSE.
[CLICK]
WHAT'’S HE MEAN, CLOSE?
AND WHO'’S THAT OTHER GUY, TALKING ABOUT A LAWYER?
HE'’S A FRIEND.
AND I MEAN A REALFRIEND,
WHO YOU GOTTA MEET ONE OF THESE DAYS.
SPARE ME. I KNOW ENOUGH OF YOUR MEN FRIENDS.
ALL OF '’EM AIN'T WORTH THIS ONE.
YOU GOTTA MEET HIM.
AND YOU'’RE GONNA MEET HIM REAL SOON.
I CAN HARDLY WAIT.
YOU'’RE GONNA FIND OUT THAT BILL GILLESPIE
IS VERY SPECIAL.
WELL, WELL. GOOD AFTERNOON.
GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU, TOO.
IT'’S BEEN A WHILE.YES, IT CERTAINLY HAS.
SIR.
EXCUSE ME, SIR, WOULD YOU MOVE TWO FEET
TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, PLEASE?
YOU WATCHIN'’ YOUR BOSS?
THAT'’S RIGHT. WHO YOU WATCHIN'’?
DIDN'’T ANYBODY TELL YOU
THAT BUDGET MEETING HAS BEEN MOVED TO TOMORROW?
YES, I KNOW, BUT I'’M HERE ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
YOU DIDN'’T WANT TO SEE ME, DID YOU?
WELL, THAT'’S ALWAYS VERY NICE,
BUT I HAVE TO SEE TED MARCUS,
SEE IF HE CAN HELP A FRIEND OF MINE.
HMM.
GEORGIA FARREN MOVIN'’ BACK TO SPARTA
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?
NO. NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
I SAW HER TODAY AT THE INN.
SHE LOOKED VERY WELL.
YEAH, WELL, I RECKON SHE DOES.
WELL, I'’LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
YES, TOMORROW.
MISS PATMAN.
AFTERNOON, CHIEF.
GO RIGHT ON IN. THE COUNCILMAN'’S EXPECTING YOU.
THANK YOU.
TED.Ted: HEY, BILL.
MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.
THANK YOU.
I DON'’T WANT TO GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THIS WITH YOU.
I'’D RATHER LEAVE THAT TO THE LADY HERSELF
WHEN SHE COMES BACK UP HERE FROM GULFPORT.
WELL, SHE COULD HAVE SEEN ME TODAY.
Bill: SHE DIDN'’T WANT TO WAIT.
HER HUSBAND WAS HANGING AROUND WATCHIN'’ HER.
IS SHE AFRAID OF HIM?
SHE THINKS HE'’S KIND OF NUTTY.
DANGEROUS.
I ASSUME SHE WANTS TO DIVORCE HIM.
Bill: NO.
SHE DOESN'’T WANT A DIVORCE
TO SETTLE ANY OF THAT PROPERTY ON HIM.
THAT'’S WHAT SHE WANTS YOU TO PREVENT.
WELL, I THINK WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT.
AS LONG AS I GOT YOU HERE,
YOU MIND IF I ASK YOU A PERSONAL QUESTION?
NO, GO AHEAD.
I TAKE IT MISS FARREN IS SOMEONE YOU'’RE DEEPLY INTERESTED IN?
YOU SOUND AS IF YOU WANT ME TO SAY YES.
[CHUCKLING]
MAYBE I DO.
YOU WANT ME TO GIVE UP MY FREEDOM?
TO THE RIGHT WOMAN, SURE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THE RIGHT WOMAN?
I MEAN...
I...
WOULDN'’T WANT TO SEE A FRIEND MAKE A MISTAKE.
UH-HUH.
NOW, THEN, LET'’S SEE WHAT WE'’VE GOT HERE.
[CLEARS THROAT]
NO, SIR, THE CHIEF'’S NOT IN,
BUT OUR CHIEF INVESTIGATOR VIRGIL TIBBS IS HERE.
CAN YOU HOLD ON, PLEASE? THANK YOU.
VIRGIL.
HELLO. VIRGIL TIBBS HERE.
OKAY, EVERYBODY...
Y'’ALL HIDE YOUR CHICKEN TILL THE CHIEF AIN'’T LOOKIN'.
THE CHIEF? WHERE IS HE?
HE'’S RIGHT BEHIND ME. LUANNE JUST DROPPED HIM OFF AND HE'’S COMING FAST.
YOU KNOW THE CHIEF WANTS US TO EAT IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM,
NOT OUT HERE IN THE MAIN OFFICE.
WHY IS THAT SO HARD FOR YOU TO KEEP TO?
I GUESS '’CAUSE CHICKEN ALWAYS TASTES BETTER
OUT HERE WHERE WE AIN'’T SUPPOSED TO EAT IT.
LET ME ASK YOU--
WHERE DID YOU GET CHIEF GILLESPIE'’S NAME AND ADDRESS?
WE FOUND THE CHIEF'’S NAME IN HER APPOINTMENT BOOK.
AND I GUESS THE APPOINTMENT BOOK WAS IN THE APARTMENT?
UH-HUH.
CAPTAIN, HOLD ON. THE CHIEF JUST WALKED IN.
CHIEF.
GULFPORT POLICE FOR YOU.
BILL GILLESPIE HERE.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
THE MURDER OF GEORGIA FARREN HAPPENED EARLIER THIS EVENING.
WHEN WE ARRIVED ON THE SCENE,
WE FOUND AN APPOINTMENT BOOK....
THE MAN WHO CALLED US
WAS THE MANAGER OF THIS CONDO BUILDING.
THE DAUGHTER?
WELL, SHE WAS HERE.
THE MANAGER FOUND HER UNCONSCIOUS,
HIT ON THE HEAD.
WE SENT HER OVER TO MERCY HOSPITAL.
SHE DIDN'’T LOOK TOO BAD.
WELL...
I BETTER COME ON DOWN THERE.
Bill: FLY? NO...
BY THE TIME I PROMOTE A PLANE OUT OF HERE,
I COULD DRIVE IT.
JAMISON, YOU DRIVE THE CHIEF?
SURE.
Bill: YEAH, I'’LL START RIGHT AWAY.
THANK YOU FOR CALLING ME.
BYE.
HOW OLD IS THE DAUGHTER?
NINETEEN.
MRS. FARREN'’S HUSBAND BEEN CALLED?

BY THE DAUGHTER, I SUPPOSE.
BETWEEN YOU AND ME, VIRGIL,
KEN FARREN IS NOT THE FATHER OF THAT GIRL.
OH?

CHIEF, I'’M RALPH PORTER.
THIS HERE IS SERGEANT MYER.
OH, HI.

I TOLD '’EM YOU'’D BE COMING.
CHIEF, I'’M GONNA GO REGISTER.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT. AND MAKE THAT PHONE CALL.
YES, SIR.
AND THEN I'’LL TALK TO THE GIRL,
AND THEN I CAN TAKE A LOOK AT MISS GEORGIA FARREN'’S APARTMENT,
IF I MAY.
I'’LL MEET YOU AT THE APARTMENT.
FINE, FINE.
THANK YOU.
[RINGING]
SPARTA POLICE DEPARTMENT.
HI. IS BUBBA THERE?
YEAH, JUST A MINUTE.
CAPTAIN? JAMISON'’S ON.
HEY, LONNIE, YOU IN GULFPORT?
KEN FARREN.

OKAY. I'’LL GET THIS RIGHT ALONG TO VIRGIL.
DO WHAT?
FEED BEAUREGARD.
OH, YEAH, THE HOUND.
I'’LL MAKE SURE HE GETS DINNER.
SAY WHAT?
LOOK, I'’M ONLY TELLING YOU WHAT THE CHIEF SAID.
FEED HIM HALF A SMALL MEATBALL PIZZA
WITH THE KIBBLE.
WELL, IF I WAS I THE ARMY,
I'’D DEMAND THIS ORDER IN WRITING.
YOU WANT TO SEE THE WOUND?
Jamison: CHIEF.
CAPTAIN PORTER SAYS SHE WAS HIT BY AN OVER-UNDER SHOTGUN.
TWO SLUGS.
SAY WHAT?
THE WOUND. THE ABDOMEN.
NO.
THANKS, MAN.
I'’LL CALL IN LATER, ZACK.
YES, SIR. YOU GET SOME REST.
THE MAN IS GOING HOME TO TAKE A NAP.
JUST GOT BACK FROM A LONG DRIVE.
DURING THE NIGHT.
THAT'’S WHAT MY FRIEND ZACK SAYS.
DID HE TELL ZACK WHERE HE WENT?
NO, BUT HE BROUGHT THIS WITH HIM.
GULFPORT.
SHE'’S ALL DRESSED, READY TO BE LET GO.
YOU'’RE GONNA TAKE HER HOME?
NO, TO HER MOM'’S PLACE,
PICK HER CAR UP.
AND THE CAPTAIN WILL SEE HER, TOO.
OH, ALL RIGHT.
GOOD MORNING.
'’MORNING.
I'’LL SEE IF I CAN FIND THAT DOCTOR,
SEE IF SHE CAN BE CHECKED OUT.
I DON'’T KNOW IF YOUR MAMA EVER MENTIONED ME--
I'’M BILL GILLESPIE.
SHE SAID SHE WANTED ME TO MEET YOU, THAT'’S ALL.
OH.
DID SHE EXPLAIN TO YOU...
WHY SHE WANTED YOU TO MEET ME?
YOU WERE HELPING HER WITH SOME BUSINESS UP IN SPARTA?
OH.
YES.
AND, UH...
NOW I'’D LIKE TO HELP YOU WITH IT, IF I MAY.
THERE'’S PROPERTY UP THERE THAT YOUR GRANNY LEFT,
AND YOUR MAMA WANTED IT ALL TO COME TO YOU...
WHEN SHE DIED.
HAVE YOU SEEN HER?
YES.
HOW'’D SHE LOOK?
AS IF SHE WAS SLEEPIN'’.
BEAUTIFUL, I THOUGHT.
I CAN'’T BELIEVE THIS.
LANA, WHERE IS THIS MAN RAMON PELEZ?
I DON'’T KNOW.
I DON'’T THINK HE DID THIS.
WELL, YOU DIDN'’T SEE ANYBODY ELSE, DID YOU?
NO.
BUT IT HAS TO BE CARL DeLISSA.
HE'’S A MAN WE LIVED WITH IN NEW ORLEANS.
MAMA MADE HIM BUY HER THIS APARTMENT HERE.
BUT SHE WOULDN'’T KEEP HERSELF JUST FOR HIM.
SHE WENT OUT WITH OTHER MEN.
RAMON WAS ONE.
DeLISSA THREATENED HER ON THE PHONE
THREE OR FOUR TIMES.
WELL, UM...
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?
I MEAN, FOR YOURSELF.
ME? WHY ARE YOU ASKING ABOUT ME?
WE'’RE TALKING ABOUT MY MAMA.
OH, JUST, UH, INTEREST.
I WORK AS A SECRETARY, ON AND OFF.
I HAVE A BOYFRIEND, ON AND OFF.
AND I HAD A MAMA... ON AND OFF.
THAT'’S ME.
[WHISTLES] COME ON, NOW.
[BARKING]
HA HA!
COME ON.
COME HERE! COME ON.
YEAH, BOY.
NOW, BEAUREGARD,
THIS AIN'’T MY IDEA OF A SENSIBLE DIET,
BUT I'’M GONNA SERVE IT UP TO YA PER INSTRUCTIONS.
NO ADDITIONS, NO ALTERATIONS WHATSOEVER.
BUT I'’M JUST SAYIN'’ NOW,
IF YOU WAS DININ'’ WITH ME AND KNOTHEAD IN MY KITCHEN,
WELL, YOU'’D BE LOOKIN'
AT A COUPLE POUNDS OF JUICY PROTEIN HORSEMEAT...
AND THEN A COUPLE OR THREE SWEET BRISKET BONES,
AND THEN--[CAR APPROACHES]
AND, UH...
THEN YOU'’D WASH IT ALL DOWN
WITH SOME NICE, COOL WATER,
SWEETENED WITH SOME ICE TEA.
AND THEN FOR DESSERT, WE'’D GET SOME--
[GUNSHOTS]
[TIRES SCREECH]
DAMN.
THERE'’S A CADILLAC THAT'’S PARKING BACK THERE,
AND THAT'’S THE LICENSE.
LOUISIANA. I BELIEVE NEW ORLEANS.
WELL, BEIN'’ AS HOW WE'’RE ONLY 60 MILES FROM THERE--
THIS ONE'’S PARKING HERE.
IF IT'’S REGISTERED TO A GENT BY THE NAME OF DeLISSA,
WE'’RE GONNA WANT TO HAVE A CHAT WITH HIM.
SO MAKE A PHONE CALL.
YES, SIR.
CHIEF BILL GILLESPIE TO SEE CAPTAIN PORTER.
Porter: LET HIM IN.
CHIEF, WE GOT A VISITOR HERE SAY HE KNOW YOU.
YEAH.
WHAT CAN MR. PELEZ TELL US?
I AM SORRY...
HE SAYS HE SAW MISS FARREN ALIVE EARLY LAST EVENING.
RIGHT HERE.
WITH LANA.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THIS GUY WON'’T TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!
I'’M WAITING FOR YOU TO TELL ME.
IF I KNEW--
IF I DID SOMETHING BAD, WOULD I WALK IN HERE THIS MORNING?
WHAT DID YOU WANT, RAMON?
TO SEE HER.
AS ALWAYS.
I THOUGHT WHEN I RANG THE BELL...
[SOBBING]
ARE YOU CARL VICTOR DeLISSA?
WHO WANTS TO KNOW?
THE POLICE. STEP OUT OF THE CAR, PLEASE.
PUT YOUR HANDS ON TOP OF THE CAR.
DO YOU OWN A SHOTGUN?
NO.
EVER OWN ONE?
NO.
YOU WANTED TO SPEAK WITH MR. DeLISSA, CHIEF?
YEAH. YOU OWN A SHOTGUN, MR. DeLISSA?
NO.
WHAT'’S GOING ON?
YOU KNOW THIS GUY HERE?
YEAH. HE'’S A CUBAN.
BEEN HANGING AROUND MISS FARREN.
WHERE IS SHE?
YOU'’VE BEEN THREATENING HER, HAVEN'’T YOU?
WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
WELL, WHY WOULD YOU BE WAITING AROUND IN YOUR CAR
WITH THIS GUN IN YOUR POCKET?
Carl: I WANNA SEE MISS FARREN, THAT'’S ALL.
WHERE'’S SHE BEEN THE LAST FEW DAYS?
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE DID IT.
DONE WHAT, YOU JERK?!
WHATEVER HAPPENS, I WILL KILL YOU!
WHAT IS THIS?
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MAMA, SUGAR?
SHE'’S DEAD, CARL.
SOMEBODY KILLED HER LAST EVENING.
RIGHT THERE.
WHERE WERE YOU, LANA?
I WAS IN THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED.
AND THEN YOU CAME OUT HERE?
THAT'’S RIGHT.
SOMEBODY HIT ME WITH SOMETHING.
I'’D SAY IT WAS THE WEAPON.
HE'’S HAVE PROBABLY SHOT HER WITH IT
IF HE'’D HAD ANOTHER SLUG.
I NEVER SAW HIM. I WAS OUT.
Porter: YOU TOLD US YOU HEARD YOUR MAMA ARGUING.
I DID.
AND I KNOW CARL'’S VOICE VERY WELL.
AND RAMON.
MAMA WASN'’T ARGUING WITH EITHER ONE OF THEM.
WHO WAS IT, LANA?
IT WAS A VOICE I NEVER HEARD BEFORE.
Lana: I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMEBODY WHO WAS SENT.
THEN IT COULD HAVE BEEN KEN FARREN'’S VOICE.
AND HE'’S GOT A SHOTGUN.
WE FOUND ONE OF THE EMPTIES, BUBBA.
YOU KNOW, VIRGIL, I HEARD THAT CAR STOP,
BUT I DIDN'’T HEAR NO DOOR OPEN.
I FIGURE THE GUY THAT TOOK THOSE SHOTS AT ME
TOOK '’EM FROM BEHIND THE WHEEL,
AND I BETCHA THEY COME FROM RIGHT OVER THERE
WHERE PETE'’S POKIN'’ AROUND.
THREE SMALL PIECES OF GLASS,
BUT THEY'’RE OUT NOW.
HE WAS A FAIR SHOT-- THANK GOD NOT A GOOD ONE.
FAST OLD BOY, TOO.
WHEN HE WAS FLYING THROUGH THE TREES,
I COULD ONLY GET GLIMPSES OF HIM.
THE CAR SEEMED TO BE A BLUE OLDER MODEL.
YEAH, THE TIRES WEREN'’T RADIALS, EITHER.
THAT OLD-FASHIONED BIAS-PLY TREAD.
BUT GOOD TREAD. MAYBE A CLASSIC.
YOU KNOW, VIRGIL, THERE'’S ONLY A COUPLE OR THREE OF THEM CLASSICS AROUND
THAT USE THAT KIND OF RUBBER.
I SAW ONE THE OTHER DAY.
SAW THE DRIVER GET OUT, TOO.
YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?
NO. BUT I INTEND TO MEET HIM.
HERE'’S THE OTHER ONE, DETECTIVE.
[PHONE RINGS]
LET ME GET THAT PHONE.
YEAH. YEAH.
WELL, HEY, BEAUREGARD.
WHAT YOU SAY WE GO IN THERE
AND FINISH THAT NICE MEAL, HUH?
[BARKING]
[CHUCKLES] I DON'’T BLAME YA!
[LAUGHING]
WHAT IS THE TOTAL DAMAGE?
LET'’S JUST SAY YOU'RE GONNA NEED SOME WORK DONE.
A WHOLE WINDOW REPLACED, A LAMP OVER THE TABLE,
RE-PLASTERING JOB--
YOU'’RE GONNA NEED SOME WORK DONE.
WELL, I GUESS THAT'’S THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS.
I'’M SORRY TO HAVE MISSED THAT BUDGET MEETING.
OH, THEY DIDN'’T HAVE IT. THEY POSTPONED IT AGAIN.
I EXPLAINED YOU WERE DOWN IN GULFPORT--
A FEW EYEBROWS WERE RAISED.
SOMETHING BOTHERING THEM? YEAH--
THE QUESTION OF WHY YOU WERE INVESTIGATING
A MURDER OF A WOMAN IN ANOTHER CITY.
EXCUSE ME.
VIRGIL, I'’M GONNA HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU.
I WANNA SEE THAT GIRL BEFORE SHE GOES HOME.
'’SCUSE ME. THE CHIEF WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU.
HEY, MAN.
ZACK, WHERE'’S FARREN?
BACK THERE.
WANNA TELL HIM SERGEANT SWEET WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH HIM.
SUPPOSE HE ASKS ME ABOUT WHAT?
JUST TELL HIM TO COME OUT AND ASK ME.
ALL RIGHT.
MR. FARREN! THERE'’S A COP--
SHH!!!
[WHISPERS] I NEED SOME TIME.
TELL HIM I'’VE GONE TO THE RESTROOM.
TELL HIM I'’LL BE WITH HIM IN FIVE MINUTES. GO ON!
HE SAW YOU. HE'’S GONNA RUN FOR IT.
YEAH, I EXPECTED HE WOULD.
[SIREN BLARES]
Ken: HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
WE WANT TO ARREST YOU, KEN FARREN.
WHAT FOR?Parker: WELL, YOU COULD SAY
FOR LEAVING THE SCENE OF A HOMICIDE.
OR THE FAILURE TO REPORT A HOMICIDE.
OR JUST COMMITTING A HOMICIDE.
OR ALL THREE.
LOOK, MR. FARREN.
I THOUGHT I MIGHT ARRANGE A FUNERAL FOR YOUR MAMA.
NO NEED. I MADE A FEW CALLS.
IT'’S DONE.
PLEASE, DON'’T STAY.
WELL, I THINK I OUGHT TO STAY.
SURELY NOT FOR ME?
YOU'’RE A STRANGER, MR. GILLESPIE.
WELL, NO, I'’M NO STRANGER.
YOU'’VE ALREADY PAID YOUR RESPECTS.
WELL, I DON'’T LIKE TO SEE YOU ALONE HERE.
I HAVE FRIENDS.
KIDS, LIKE YOURSELF?
YES, BUT MY MOTHER AND I HAD A FEW OLDER FRIENDS,
AND THEY'’RE STILL HERE FOR ME.
BUT, UH...
BUT NO RELATIVES?
IS THAT IMPORTANT?
IT MIGHT BE.
YOU'’RE MY FATHER, AREN'’T YOU?
ACCORDING TO YOUR MAMA.
WELL, IF SHE TOLD YOU THAT, IT'’S TRUE.
SHE NEVER LIED.
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO BE FATHERLY NOW?
DON'’T. I DON'’T NEED THAT.
DO YOU?
NO, YOU DON'’T.
BECAUSE IF YOU DID,
YOU WOULD HAVE PICKED UP A PHONE A LONG TIME AGO
AND SAID, "GEORGIA, LET'’S HAVE A LOOK AT THAT KID."
RIGHT?
I SUPPOSE.
BUT YOU NEVER DID THAT.
Lana: YOU NEVER FELT THAT WAY.
I GOTTA GO... GET MY CAR.
GET THINGS MOVING.
LANA--
IF I EVER DO FEEL THAT WAY AND CALL YOU UP...
AND SAY WHAT?
AND SAY...
"I WANT TO SEE MY KID AGAIN"...
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
I PROBABLY WOULDN'’T THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA.
WHAT'’S THAT THING PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY ABOUT THE PAST?
WELL...
MOST PEOPLE JUST SAY, "FORGET IT."
MOST PEOPLE...
ARE A LITTLE SILLY.
