"Did you get a look at the guy who stabbed him?" "I-I don't know." "I saw a black guy hurrying away, I-I think..." "Like a big guy with short hair..." "But I don't know." "The whole thing just happened so fast." "There were so many people." "I-it was a big blur." "I'm so sorry." "You have any idea who would want to do this to red?" "No." "I mean..."

"We got two crimes against red in 24 hours?" "I don't think we can ignore that they could be related." "Let's pick him up." "This is no random robbery, was it?" "You got something against big red." "And when we find that knife, your prints are gonna be all over it," "Aren't they, Merrick?" "Come on, man, I just got sprung," "And now you're trying to haul me back in?" "You're gonna get me fired, man." "I don't have nothing to do with this." "Where'd you go this morning when you got out of jail?" "Went home..." "And made love for hours..." "right, Renee?" "You're remarkably loyal," "Considering, Renee..." "The two-timing." "Wait." "What?" "Baby, don't listen to him." "You got a job," "No obvious health problems, no kids." "Why's Merrick here holding up a restaurant?" "Where's the cash drain?" "What's her name?" "You told me it was over!" "Why are you listening to him?" "He wasn't making love to me." "He didn't get home till 10 minutes ago." "Damn it, Renee!" "Look, maybe I was out, okay," "But I wasn't out stabbing no guy at no festival." "We should probably go talk to this girlfriend." "Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "What's her name?" "Come on, now." "Man, what about the other guy who robbed him, huh?" "Y'all harass him, or no, 'cause he's white?" "You're the only guy that's robbed red in three years." "Then what was the bald-headed guy" "With the weird mustache doing," "Sneaking around fat red's, same time I was," "Few days ago?" "dude almost scared me off." "You remember anything else about this guy?" "Had on some kind of white outfit and green boots." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, like a white jump suit?" "Yeah." "Muddy-looking?" "Yeah." "Guy's a hog farmer." "About six farms around here use that uniform." "See who red's suppliers are." "Start from there." "Thank you, Romeo." "Brice cutter's been red's supplier for 10 years now," "Till about six months ago," "When they had some sort of falling out." "How are we supposed to find one hog farmer" "In this crowd of pigs?" "Might not be that hard." "There he is." "Man, look at this freakin' guy." "Brice cutter?" "Yeah." "Mpd." "We want to talk to you" "About the attempted murder of red Jones." "Yeah, sure, hold on." "Let me just wash my hands real quick, huh?" "What the hell is that?" "He's running." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Stop, or we'll shoot!" "He's got a gun." "Hey!" "Stop!" "Drop your weapon and come out slow, cutter!" "Real slow!" "Now!" "Put the gun on the ground now!" "On the ground!" "Cutter?" "Don't go straining you still got a confession to make" "For the attempted murder of red Jones." "He lived, didn't he?" "He's in intensive care, asshole." "What?" "Red stopped using you as supplier" "For his restaurant six months ago," "And you stabbed him..." "ain't that right?" "No, no, no, no." "You're still doing time, cutter..." "Drawing on officers of the law." "And if we wanted to, we could make prison feel" "An awful lot like speed dating, you don't cooperate." "All right, fine." "I tried to kill him, but not yesterday." "Red started spreading rumors, okay," "Telling everybody my product wasn't up to snuff." "He damn near put me out of business." "So I found a way to sneak in." "And I poisoned the big vat of lemonade" "He makes for himself every morning..." "Rat poison..." "but it wasn't enough." "He's still walking around." "So you failed a couple nights ago," "And you tried again yesterday." "No, damn it, I did not." "Besides, red's come crawling back." "Got an e-mail from him last night... ordered 20 hogs." "We'll see about that." "Don't go anywhere." "Yeah?" "Got the weapon, Dwight." "A prostitute came forward, said one of her regular customers" "Came to her, asked her to stash it, ran away." "When she heard it was red in trouble, she coughed it up." "Guy gave her the name Ron wood." "Ron wood, like the rolling stone?" "Yeah." "It's an alias." "Run it." "Get the knife to the lab." "Thanks, greenback." "Got ourselves a weapon." "Brice cutter?" "I don't know, guys." "I didn't get a good look." "Brice is saying y'all mended fences." "That's why you placed that order with him." "Hold up." "What?" "Annaliese?" "No, we've had no business with Brice cutter for months now." "20 hogs." "Got an e-mail last night..." "so he says." "No." "I mean, I-I'll check the company credit card, but I..." "Give me it." "This is supposed to be your side of the business." "What the hell is this, Annaliese?" "I didn't authorize a $20,000 purchase" "From no damn Brice cutter last night!" "Well, neither did I, red." "Just don't get mad." "A holdup, a stabbing, and now someone's stealing from us?" "What is going on?" "Don't worry, sweetheart." "We're gonna find out where that order came from," "See who's behind all this." "Well, well, Memphis' very own streaker." "Had to add your own spice to the mix, didn't you, buddy?" "Public intoxication, underage drinking," "Topped off with public urination..." "The big trifecta." "Ain't nothing worse than having a hangover in this place, buddy." "Kind of smells like cleaning fluid meets sausage," "Don't you think?" "We got streakers, stabbers, urinators." "Doesn't anybody care that the barbecue festival" "Is a family event anymore?" "Uh, w-when is my mother gonna get here?" "Your mother's not gonna be able" "To help you out of this here, partner." "Uh, yes, she is." "She's the lieutenant." "No." "Wait a second." "Which one are you?" "Uh, Rodney." "You're "take your mama to church every Sunday" Rodney?" "Mama's not gonna like this." "Lieutenant, hey." "Dwight." "I'd like to speak with you privately." "Now!" "Are you drunk?" "No, not... not anymore." "Excellent." "Sit down." "Maybe we can have a civilized conversation." "What the hell got into you?" "Look, it... it won't..." "it won't happen again, mama." "I promise." "In my district..." "my district," "You decide to get drunk and pee on some girl's shoes." "Rodney, good God." "Relax!" "Excuse me?" "Look, I'm allowed to have some fun." "I-I work at that paper 80 hours a week," "And I'm taking your calls every half-hour." "I don't date girls you don't like." "I don't wear colors you hate, okay?" "Just give me a break, mom." "Are you blaming this on me?" "I'm the reason you peed on her shoes?" "I didn't really think about you." "No, you did not." "And I don't have to, 'cause you don't know everything," "And you're not perfect." "But... but I'm supposed to be, right?" "Right." "what about you?" "Huh?" "You drove dad away." "Obviously you are still drunk." "No, no." "I'm..." "I'm not." "All right, he told me" "When I saw him last month." "You shut him out..." "In... in that way." "In what way?" "In... in that..." "in that way." "In that way, mom." "Look, you shut him out" "Until he couldn't take it anymore," "And he left." "That's damn well enough, Rodney Maurice." "You need to take responsibility for what you just did." "And you can sit here and think about it," "Because I will not be bailing your ass out." "Just tell him I need it." "It's... it's... it's simple." "Yes, okay." "All right." "Good." "Thank you." "This hog order's getting weirder by the minute." "Credit-card company tracked the order." "I ran the address the hogs were delivered to." "You remember this a-hole?" "Ronald Warsaw." "Busted him for selling stolen medical supplies back in January." "Turns out that he and red had a dispute" "A couple months ago... he sold him some faulty stoves." "Ronald Warsaw." "Ron wood." "Name the hooker gave on the knife owner..." "Could be an alias." "You think our credit-card thief's our assailant?" "20 grand ain't small change." "Possible he could've bought himself the hogs" "To sell during high season," "Turns his profit, to cover up the theft.Of red" "Let's track Warsaw down" "And run his prints against the ones on the knife." "Give me a sec." "Hey, there, lieutenant." "What's the latest on red Jones?" "Uh, we're going to see a suspect, a Ronald Warsaw," "Who ripped off red's business for a fegrand." "Good." "Report back to me." "Listen." "Uh..." "We can clean this up quietly." "Let him go home." "It's just a silly little thing." "Nobody has to know about it." "He will be arraigned in two days," "Just like every other common criminal." "But he's your boy." "Dwight, work your case." "Mind your own business." "Big red's a city treasure, you piece of crap." "And your fingerprints just happened to be" "All over the knife that stabbed him, so what the hell is that about?" "I'm not talking until you guys get me a lawyer." "What's your sign, Ron?" "Gemini." "That's what I thought." "See, Geminis are also notoriously dim upstairs." "Oh, screw you." "Look, you made 20 grand on hogs," "And you spent it on a damn watch." "Meanwhile, you're living in a by-the-hour motel room." "Pretty dumb." "Stealing and selling hogs at high festival season, though..." "That's pretty smart." "That's how I know this ain't your plan." "Maybe you're right," "But why you got to be so mean about it?" "Look, somebody put you up to stabbing red." "Who was it?" "You want to rot in prison while this guy is..." "It wasn't a guy, was it?" "If I tell, you're not gonna believe me 'cause she seems all sweet and nice." "Damn it." "What?" "Credit-card order night before the festival..." "Annaliese claims she didn't notice it," "But she controls all the finances." "Red said so." "At the festival, she gave us" "An exact opposite description of this guy as the stabber." "Annaliese?" "That woe-is-me routine at the hospital." "Mm-hmm." "Way red snaps at her," "Maybe she snapped back." "Hogs were payment from Annaliese Jones" "To take out her brother, red." "If this is true, Warsaw," "You better spit it out and save your own ass." "I met her at Mooney's on Beale street." "Got to talking one night, then another, then another." "I was just aiming for the sack," "But it comes out about my time on the inside." "She makes this proposition," "Says she can pay me through the company," "But it's got to look all business-like." "That's why it was hogs." "You got any proof?" ""do it today." "Move fast." "Crowded." "No one will know it's you." "A.J."" "I'll keep this." "Hey." "S You know what puzzles me, Annaliese?" "You being so on top of the business end" "But not seeing that expense for 2ok." "I know it." "I... it's been killing me." "It's just, you know, we were so busy" "Before the fest, and then red getting hurt." "I'm an idiot." "We were thinking whoever did this" "Might have been close to red..." "Yeah?" "'cause only somebody close would know" "How ornery and demanding and sometimes bullyish, right?" "No." "I mean..." "Maybe with other people," "But... but, no, he was always an angel with me." "'cause people have been saying" "He lords over you, snaps at you..." "I've seen it myself." "you know, I don't know" "Why everyone is coming out against us." "All we have ever tried to do is make this city happy." "And now look how it repays us." "Sorry." "I-I need to get the restaurant ready to open." "We need the money, with red's hospital bills racking up." "You hang in there." "We're gonna find who did this." "Woman's lying her ass off." "You can feel it." "Text message is circumstantial." "Annaliese has no record." "She's got no motive." "That's all true, but we googled her." "Oh, good." "Found this press photo of her" "With an old boyfriend, Rick Lee," "A stock-car racer out of jellico." "Lee went missing in 2007." "Cops found his house trashed and blood on his mattress." "They cleared Annaliese, thinking that the violence" "Wasn't something that a woman would do." "But if she's willing to murder for hire," "I think they're gonna open this case back up." "Annaliese is cunning." "The text message to Warsaw was sent" "Using a throwaway cell bought with cash." "She can claim credit theft on the hog payment." "The only chance I see of getting her to tell the truth" "Is how Warsaw got hired for the hit in the first place." "Earn her trust gradually, go in as her friend," "Wearing a wire." "How do you propose to do that" "When she knows you sniffing around?" "Undercover operation" "With somebody Annaliese has never met..." "Because of his pescetarianism..." "Whom no one would ever suspect" "Of being a police officer," "Who's got a childlike approach with women" "That'll put Annaliese's mind at ease." "This guy sounds like a riot." "He's talking about you, David." "Oh, yeah." "For undercover?" "Yeah, that's..." "that's cool." "All right." "Make it happen." "Sutton, are you listening to me?" "Sure." "And I got a whole back story worked out, Dwight." "I was in the army." "I got dreams of going to veterinarian school." "I'm a widower, and my wife died..." "pay attention, Sutton, all right?" "This is gonna be a slow burn" "About building trust with this woman." "Right." "You're aiming toward "I want you to kill my brother."" "She has to say those exact words," "And she's got to pay you for it." "It won't come easy." "That's the goal, all right?" "Got it." "Take it from the guy who wrote the book on this." "You want this chick to fall for you," "You got to be casual about everything." "You got to be really cool." "Act like you don't care about anything," "But if she likes something," "You care about it more than she does." "You got me?" "Right." "Got all this?" "Can you handle this thing?" "Yeah, man." "I got this." "Hi, there." "You know green's your color, right?" "What?" "You know, like jade..." "The Gulf of Mexico..." "Emeralds..." "Envy." "Come on, Sutton." "Humble this time, Sutton." "Go gentle." "Sorry." "What?" "I said I'm sorry." "Um, I been reading this how-to book..." "How to score the woman of your dreams." "It's full of all kinds of backwards crap" "About how to get beautiful women such as yourself" "Interested in you." "Anyway, sorry." "You know," "I should've just listened to what my mama told me." "She always said, "be yourself," "And eventually people are gonna like you."" "Hi." "My name's Terrence Tuttle." "Sorry, Terry Tuttle." "Another one for him." "And so this guy goes," ""if any of them Tuttle boys show their face" "At the swimming pool one more time..."" "It was funny." "Oh." "Mm." "My brother's my only family." "You probably heard of him..." "red Jones?" "We inherited our dad's restaurant together." "Oh, yeah." "He's a famous grill master." "Fat red, yeah." "So, why is he doing the cooking and not you?" "Well, red always said a flower has to marry a gardener." "what?" "What the hell's that supposed to mean?" "Well, the flower is the artist, like him." "And to keep alive," "They need to be with someone who will tend to them," "Who's gonna water and weed and do the books." "You seem like the flower to me." "Yes." "But, um..." "But you're not married to your brother, are you?" "Mnh-mnh." "No." "Ever come close?" "There was someone, but a long time back." "A stock-car racer." "He was the love of my life, and he broke my heart." "That's Rick Lee she's talking about." "Sutton works this right, that's two cases he solves here." "That'd be something." "Sutton, look alive." "Really?" "Car racer?" "What happened to him?" "I mean, where is he?" "I... y'all break up?" "Yeah, I think, uh, time for me to get going." "Oh." "Okay." "My favorite band is playing here tomorrow night..." "Kitty and the falling stars." "I'll be here, so..." "It'll be great if you were, too." "I wouldn't miss it." "Okay." "One more." "I don't know." "It's like I'm invisible to him." "So, what I hear you saying, Annaliese..." "That you feel underestimated." "That's exactly right." "Yeah." "I been there." "In the army, I failed making special forces" "Three years straight." "What happened?" "I love guns." "And I am a great shot." "My sergeant..." "he didn't believe in me." "And I kept failing the physical." "Hurts, doesn't it?" "Yeah." "And after a while..." "It burns." "I spent years putting together a marketing plan." "And after like two years of just painstaking outreach," "Kraft called." "They wanted to buy us out," "Start selling the sauces everywhere." "That's great." "Yeah." "And that's what I thought red would say." "But no." "He shut it down without a discussion." "Oh, no." "That's terrible." "Well, the thing is..." "About a month ago, they called again." "I didn't even bother telling red," "But..." "They're still interested." "They gave me till the end of this month to make up our minds." "There's your motive." "Great work, Sutton." "Encourage her." "That's great." "You got another chance." "She's got to make it work this time." "You got to make it work this time, Annaliese." "You got to." "Perfect." "This is her shot." "This is your shot." "Tell her you'd do anything to help her." "Sutton?" "Tell her." "Sutton?" "Damn it." "Did we lose the connection?" "Can't hear them." "Well, I still hear the band." "What's going on in there?" "Stop the macking immediately." "Macking?" "I saw you in there lip-locked with the woman." "Dwight, you don't get it." "I'm playing a part, and she's opening up to me because of it." "Annaliese is dangerous, damn it." "She tried to kill her brother" "And very likely did kill her ex-boyfriend." "I need to know right now." "Can you handle this?" "Yes." "Yes, I can." "All right." "Get her talking again about how she wants to flower" "And red's keeping her back." "This kraft thing gives her a deadline." "Go remind her." "Go." "♪ hypnotize ♪" "♪ he's got everything a girl could want ♪" "Hey." "Hey." "I was thinking back there in the bathroom..." "Yeah?" "About the kraft offer." "What about it?" "If red wasn't in the way..." "or, rather, wasn't involved..." "You could sell to them tomorrow, change your whole life." "If I could help you with your situation, I would." "I can't trust anyone, Terry." "I'm so alone." "No, you're not." "Look, I know you've been burned." "But you can talk to me." "There's one thing I can think of." "But it's a big thing, and it's wrong." "I want him gone." "Okay." "Gone gone." "Yep." "You would do that?" "Do what, exactly?" "Kill red." "I'd pay you $5,000 for your trouble." "Halfway there." "Bring it home, Sutton." "Come on, baby." "Oh." "Sorry." "Um..." "Half now, half on delivery?" "How about..." "This now, and the money on delivery?" "Oh." "And..." "I want to see the body with my own eyes." "Oh, that's it." "We're cooked." "Okay." "The mulberry RV park tomorrow." "1:00 sharp." "With red." "Dead red." "You sure?" "Wish I wasn't, red." "Sorry." "But we got her on tape." "We do need your help." "I thought she was my sister." "But it doesn't change the fact" "That Annie hired someone to kill you." "Twice." "And now she's just a stranger to me." "What do I need to do?" "He's all yours." "The money, Sutton." "Get the money." "Uh, for one cash payment, of course." "Yeah, okay." "This isn't my fault." "This is 'cause of you." "And you never told dad not to say those things to me." "And he hated me, and he was awful," "And you never protected me." "And then we grew up, and you were just like him." "Why did you never even acknowledge me?" "I am somebody." "I am somebody." "What?" "!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "How could you?" "!" "How could you?" "!" "Oh!" "Dead man walking!" "5150!" "5150!" "We're gonna have a talk right now, Annaliese." "You're coming with me." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Mpd!" "Stop the car now!" "Let's go." "Sutton, you need to talk them down." "Remember?" "You almost did it on the roof with Cyril." "Do it now, buddy." "Think it's easy being me?" "Okay." "You think you're the only one that had to deal with dad?" "Well, he had expectations of me, okay?" "Code 1..." "I need four units with tire shredders" "At route 45 and old 21..." "code 1." "Get creative, Sutton." "You can do this." "Why do you think I'm so alone?" "You two ought to be ashamed of yourselves." "You hear me?" "I had a brother myself, Willie." "Apple of my daddy's eye." "He loved that boy so much, he never saw past Willie to me, 'cause, see, Willie..." "He could fish and Turkey hunt" "And play stickball like a champ." "But, me..." "well, I was different." "And I hated him for it." "I'd go to bed every night and pray" "That one day I'd wake up and Willie would be gone for good." "And then one day, he was." "What do you mean, Terry?" "My name's David, actually." "And it was a farm accident..." "my daddy's tractor." "And now, not one day goes by" "That I don't wish my brother was back here." "Now, listen." "Y'all are headed for a trap..." "Caught either way," "But one way you cooperate and you both go in together." "The other way, your tires are blown out at 60 miles an hour" "And there's no more chances to be brother and sister." "Get out of the car!" "Let me see your hands." "Hands up." "Sutton, you all right?" "I'm good, man." "Hey." "Can we have a minute?" "Oh, well." "Um, did a little research" "Through some associates in jellico." "Something about Rick Lee?" "Yeah." "I got a line on a fellow in lockup," "Been bragging about killing him" "Over a money dispute." "Oh, no." "So he's probably dead," "Which, of course, isn't the good part." "No." "What I'm trying to say is" "You may go down for this attempted murder," "But, uh, I'll do my best to see" "You don't get anything else pinned on you, Annaliese." "Well, thank you." "Thanks, David." "You did good, Sutton." "You really came through for us," "Put away a bad woman." "It's what she deserves." "I got to admit it don't feel so good." "Listen, you got the makings of an ace Detective." "You just got to get wise." "You can't go falling for every would-be killer" "That bats her lashes at you, you hear me?" "Yeah." "Few days from now, red gets released," "I think it's time I introduce you to his barbecue ribs." "Little meat'll be good for you." "Thanks." "Just want to say that Sutton did good work out there." "He's a young man with a lot of potential." "So you didn't go to Rodney's arraignment." "Didn't I ask you to butt out of this a long time ago?" "You did." "So, how about following orders?"
