"What the fuck did you stop us for then?" "I want you to get out of the car one at a time." "You first, ma'am." "Get your hands up." "Hey, calm down." "You said "Get out, you first, man," right?" "Step around to the rear of the car, and keep your hands where I can see them." "You said "Get out of the car." That's all I'm doing." "What's wrong with you?" "You told us to get out." "Ray, do what the man says." "Stay where you are, ma'am." "Now you put your hands on the car." "Spread them out." "Now spread your legs." "Okay, same thing." "Hands on the car." "Spread your legs." "Okay, ma'am, I need you back here too." "RAY:" "Hey, why don't you just tell us what we did, all right?" "BILL:" "Keep your hands on the car!" "All right." "Okay, now, ma'am... (GUNSHOT)" "Damn, goddamn right!" "Yes, baby, yes, you motherfucker!" "Let's go." "Get into the car." "Come on, now." "You motherfucker!" "(TIRES SQUEALING)" "Hey Pluto, man, we're going the wrong goddamn way, man." "We're going back toward town." "Turn the goddamn car around." "Did I kill that man back there?" "Yes, baby, but you did a good job, don't worry about it." "I think I killed that man." "Pluto, what the fuck are you doing, man?" "We're going the wrong goddamn way." "Turn the fucking car around." "PLUTO:" "The car's been ID'd." "The car's been ID'd, right?" "So we got to get rid of it." "Yes, you killed him, goddamn it!" "You killed him." "Would you fucking turn the car around?" "It will be stolen before the cops know." "We're going the wrong fucking way." "Then we go to a used car lot and get another car." "Then we're gonna pass the motherfuckers, don't you understand that?" "Yeah." "Shut up, Ray." "We're gonna pass the cops." "They're gonna see us." "Ray, we got no fucking choice!" "We head out of town, they gonna catch us." "Just shut the fuck up." "Morning." "BOTH:" "Morning." "How are you boys?" "DUD:" "I got a hangover..." "JOHN:" "What do we got?" "Nothing." "Quiet as a Sunday morning." "What time did you get here?" "Oh, hell, I came in and relieved Charlie around 4:00." "Y'all want some coffee?" "No thanks." "No." "Hey, Dud." "Listen, I was thinking about what you was talking about last night." "And, well, I can understand now why you're pissed off." "I wasn't pissed off, exactly." "No, no, no, it's okay, you're right, I mean, hell." "If that old man hadn't been as deaf as a post," "I could have blown the whole case." "Well, I don't know." "There's two sides to that." "I made a mistake." "Look, you know more about this sort of thing than I do." "I don't want you thinking that we're incompetent down here in Star City." "Let me tell you, Dale, you got the energy and dedication of 10 cops." "No shit?" "No shit." "Say, Dud." "Let me ask you about something else I was thinking about, and if I'm full of shit, you just tell me, all right?" "All right." "Well, sir," "I've been thinking about moving to L.A. and joining up." "Joining up with what?" "Police department." "Been on the force down here ever since I was grown." "Hell, after 10 years of busting peeping Toms and stop sign runners," "I'd kind of like to take a crack at the big time." "Now I realize that getting on the force out there is no walk in the park, but, well, I figure after we wrap up this big case here, and with your recommendation..." "Well, who knows, you know?" "I think you and me and Mackintosh can make a hell of a team." "That's, um..." "That's an interesting idea." "Well?" "How you doing, Hurricane?" "Hi, Larry." "Hey Dud, this is Larry Gibson." "He's our local Smokey." "Larry, this is Dud Cole." "He's from L.A." "How are you?" "Hi, good." "Last night some folks killed a Texas state trooper in Odessa." "Says here they got reason to believe they're headed for Houston." "Seems to me they just may fit the description of the folks you boys are after." "Son of a bitch." "Think we may even have a photograph of them." "They ran out of a convenience store earlier." "Surveillance camera?" "Yeah, I think so." "Texas." "Looks like they're headed our way, boys." "Hey, you got another cup?" "Sure, if you don't mind drinking after me." "No, not at all." "Goddamn." "Texas." "Whew." "You think it was our people who whacked that state trooper?" "We'll know as soon as we get the photo." "Hurricane..." "He's waiting on the bad guys the way a kid waits for Christmas." "Yeah, well, Hurricane's a force of nature." "I like old Hurricane." "Nice fellow." "You know what he told me this morning?" "What?" "He said he was thinking of coming to L.A. and joining the force." "You're kidding." "Honest to God." "He said that he thought me and him and Mackintosh would make a hell of a team." "No shit." "(LAUGHING) He said he wanted to take a crack at the big time." "Jesus." "What did you say?" "I told him that it was an interesting idea." "That's the funniest thing I've ever heard." "(SNICKERING)" "JOHN:" "Can you imagine that motherfucker roaming around Parker center?" "(LAUGHING)" "DUD:" "He'd put a stopper in the bottle." "(BOTH LAUGHING LOUDLY)" "That yokel wouldn't last 10 minutes." "Put a stopper in the bottle." "(LAUGHING)" "FERN:" "Hurricane, what are you doing back there?" "You know no one's supposed to be back there." "Just getting a candy bar, Fern." "You going to pay for it this time?" "Hi, boys." "I saw your car parked out front." "Charlie come to relieve me about a half hour ago." "Dud?" "I didn't mean to put you on the spot this morning." "(RADIO SQUAWKS) Listen, Dale, we didn't mean..." "Oh, that's me." "Yeah, this is 2-10, go ahead." "LARRY:" "Hurricane, I just got back from Little Rock with that picture." "10-4." "That's us." "You leave it?" "Yeah." "Jimmy, you got it?" "Yeah." "DUD:" "That's Ray." "JOHN:" "So that's got to be our mystery girl, Fantasia." "Her name's not Fantasia." "It's Lila Walker." "Hey, Pluto." "What's happening, man?" "How you doing, Beaver?" "Uh..." "They're cool." "Well, come on in." "Come on in." "Go ahead." "(DOOR LOCKING) This is Fantasia and that's Ray." "That's Joey, and the whining one there on the couch is Kim." "She had a couple teeth yanked out." "Fuck you, Beaver." "Why don't you grab yourself a chair?" "(SNORTING)" "You want to sit down?" "No, that's all right." "I'm fine." "So, where's this multitude of coke?" "Where's Billy?" "He ain't here." "I can see that, but where is he?" "Well, he's still in New Orleans." "PLUTO:" "New Orleans." "Well, when's he going to be here?" "Tomorrow night." "He didn't tell me that when I spoke to him." "Well, he got hung up." "And he didn't know he was going to get hung up when he talked to you on the phone." "(SIGHING)" "Well, we'll wait for him." "We can't do that, we can't wait, we got to go." "No." "We'll wait till tomorrow." "We'll stay here." "Pluto, I don't think that's such a good idea." "We don't have much room, and, uh... (CRACKING KNUCKLES)" "Yeah, man." "What the fuck, man." "You know, you can, uh, you can have my room." "I've slept on the couch before." "Fuck you, Beaver." "I'm not moving." "Give me the phone." "I swear to God, sometimes I don't think you got a fucking brain in your head." "Ray, I'm going to Star City." "The only reason why I got involved in this shit was because you promised me we'd get some money, that I could go home and see my people." "Yeah, well, that's before all this shit happened, wasn't it?" "It's about time we got where we're going." "I don't see what the problem is." "All y'all got to do is come through and pick me up." "It's on the way." "RAY:" "You know goddamn well that Pluto's not going to do that, don't you?" "You heard what the man said." "I think it's a good idea." "If she goes ahead of us, it will be safer to travel." "We won't fit the description so easily." "No problem." "Ain't that some shit." "You going to be able to make it a whole day without me, baby?" "I don't know." "DALE:" "Looks to me like just her brother and her mom is there." "DUD:" "What kind of people are they?" "Good people." "Christian people." "I can't believe she got mixed up in shit like this." "Hurricane, I'm still unclear how you know this Lila Walker." "Well, sir, I arrested her for shoplifting once." "She was just a kid in high school." "All she took was some lipstick and..." "You know that shit they put on their eyes." "Wasn't worth 10 bucks." "I could tell right off she wasn't bad." "Just sort of high-spirited." "So I decided to try to help her out." "You know, talk to her." "Then one day she just up and disappeared." "Somebody said she'd decided to take off for Hollywood, become a movie star." "Anyway, that was about, oh, five years ago." "That's the last I heard of her till now." "She's come a long way from ripping off lipstick." "I don't believe she killed anybody." "I mean, that kid in the closet, she opens the door, sees him, then closes the damn door." "That proves she's not a killer." "Pardon me, Hurricane, but that don't prove shit." "DUD:" "So?" "JOHN:" "So, do we talk to the mother?" "What if she tips off Lila?" "She wouldn't do that." "She wouldn't do that, not Lila." "Have you heard from Lila?" "No, I haven't, not since last summer." "Sometime around June, July." "Mr. Dixon, you know Lila, you know she wouldn't do what they're saying she did." "They must have kidnapped her, brainwashed her." "Miss Walker, some of the best policemen in this country are after Lila and those other two fellas." "Now, they're going to catch them too." "It will go a lot better for Lila if she turns herself in." "Chief Dixon is right, ma'am." "I can't make any promises, but if your daughter cooperates with us, that will be taken into account later." "I haven't heard from her." "But if I do, I'll tell her what you said." "Ronnie, you heard from your sister?" "No, sir." "Would you tell us if you had?" "Yes, sir." "Grandma..." "I'm hungry." "MRS. WALKER:" "Byron, don't bother us now, honey." "JOHN:" "Who's that?" "That's Lila's boy." "Didn't you know Lila had a boy?" "And he's a pretty boy too." "Thanks for your time." "That's all we need for now." "You know, I don't think they're going to Jeremiah's at all." "Me either." "Fantasia's coming home to see her kid." "Hey, Hurricane, just how well do you know this gal anyway?" "What do you mean?" "You know what I mean." "Ha, ha, that's real fucking funny." "Fuck." "Goddamn her." "Ronnie." "Lila." "Why, look at you." "You've gone to Hollywood." "Look at you." "You're all grown up." "Stand back, let me have a look at you, girl." "Yeah, you're still ugly." "I'm just playing." "You look fine." "You know what, I'm feeling fine." "I'm going to go see my baby." "I'm going home." "You can't go home, Lila." "The cops are after you." "What did they say?" "Get in the car." "You know, I didn't do the things they say I did." "Yeah, I know that." "Being on the run makes you look guilty." "I already look guilty." "And looking guilty's being guilty for black people." "You know that." "I won't get a fair trial." "I'm not going to no prison." "Lila, Chief Dixon said the cops that are after you..." "Dale Dixon?" "Yeah." "He was the one that was by the house." "You used to know him, didn't you?" "Yeah, I used to know him." "Ronnie, I didn't come all this way not to see my baby." "Now, they'll be watching our house." "So you got to take me someplace outside of town." "Oh, Lila." "And then tonight you're gonna have to bring my baby out to see me." "And then tomorrow I'll be gone." "Ronnie, please." "I'm your sister." "I need your help." "Okay, Lila." "Okay." "RONNIE:" "A friend of mine's grand-mamma died a couple of months ago." "She had a house off the highway past the bait shop." "There's no one living there now." "I'm going to be out there all night, honey, so don't wait up for me." "Are Dud and John going to be with you?" "No, they're not gonna be with me." "We don't need 19 goddamn people in a car to watch a house." "I don't mean you're incapable of watching the house." "Hey, just 'cause I'm not from L.A." "don't mean I can't watch a goddamn house." "Okay?" "Okay." "Hey." "Hey." "I love you, okay?" "You know that, don't you?" "I know that." "And I love that little girl in that room more than anything in this world." "I know that too." "Come on." "(CAR DOOR CLOSING)" "(ENGINE STARTING)" "BILLY:" "Hey, I would give you every dime we talked about, if I had the money." "The problem is I just don't have it." "Your partner here is starting to make me nervous." "Why don't you sit your narrow ass down, ponytail?" "Look, I know you guys are on the run." "And you need everything you can get." "It's better than nothing, right?" "Let's lighten up." "Look, this town is hot, and so are you, brother." "You fucked up." "You're on every goddamn channel." "You got no one else out there you can trust but me." "And I'm gonna let you walk with one." "What I'm telling you is take it or leave it... (GROANING)" "Fucker." "Eight fucking dollars." "Liar!" "Ugh!" "(EMPTY CLICKING)" "Hey, wait a minute, he's got to have more money than that." "Let's go." "Pull over to the edge of town, man." "We're splitting up." "What are you talking about?" "Look, just pull over, man." "Everything's fucked up." "I'll give you your half of the coke, you give me my half of the money, and then I'm gone." "That's bullshit, man, I ain't doing that." "Ray, don't fuck with me, just give me my money." "I said I can't do that, man." "I don't have any money." "Say what?" "I said I don't have any money." "Where's my fucking money, Ray?" "I said I ain't got any money, man!" "She took the fucking money, all right?" "I've got 56 fucking dollars." "Now let go of me before I have a wreck." "You're a pussy-whipped motherfucker, man." "Now don't throw that shit on me, man." "That's your fucking buddies back there didn't have any goddamn money." "That good friend of yours, Billy, man." "What the fuck am I doing with you?" "You're a pussy-whipped, sorry-ass motherfucker!" "Goddamn." "Hey, look, if you want any money, you're going to have to go to Arkansas." "RONNIE:" "Come on, Lila, we got to go." "LILA:" "I know." "Just give me a few minutes with him, okay?" "Come on, Lila, it's almost 4:00 in the morning." "LILA:" "It's time for you to go home and go to bed, okay?" "BYRON:" "Okay." "LILA:" "I love you, honey." "You going to be a good boy?" "BYRON:" "Yeah." "Give me a kiss good-bye." "RONNIE:" "Come on, Lila." "BYRON:" "Goodbye." "Take care of my baby, okay?" "You going to be all right?" "Yeah, I'm all right." "Ronnie, put the money in the bank, okay?" "Ronnie?" "Put the money in the bank, okay?" "(WATER RUNNING)" "Lila?" "Dale." "How you doing, baby?" "Stop right there." "Turn around." "Turn around." "Put your hands on the counter where I can see them." "And spread your legs." "Simon says." "Can I turn around now?" "Why don't you just stay like that?" "Where are your two pals?" "Ray and Pluto?" "They'll be here soon." "How soon is that?" "I don't know." "They have to call first." "How do I know you're not lying to me right now?" "How do I know they're not going to show up here any minute?" "I'm not lying to you, Dale." "What are you going to do with me?" "Go on." "Get in the other room." "Go on." "Go on in the living room." "What are you doing?" "Sit down." "No!" "What are you doing?" "There's some fellows from L.A. that want to meet you, Lila." "Dale, put the phone down." "Why should I do that?" "'Cause Ray and Pluto are gonna be calling out here to see if everything is cool." "And I'm not going to answer the phone if you call those cops out." "Oh, yes, you are." "I won't." "Goddamn it!" "Lila, even if I wanted to, I can't help you." "I don't have the legal authority." "You didn't have the legal authority to fuck me when I was 17 years old, but that didn't stop you then, did it?" "Yeah, that's right." "Instead of sitting out there spying on me all night, why didn't you just come in here and say hello to your son?" "He's not my kid." "Not your kid?" "He's nearly as white as you are." "That don't prove nothing." "You're calling me a whore?" "Dale..." "I was a virgin when we met, and you know it." "(BIRD SINGING)" "Hear the whippoorwill?" "Remember what you told me about when you hear a whippoorwill?" "It means somebody's going to die." "How come we got to sit here in the dark like this?" "Because I don't want to be a sitting duck if they show up out there." "I told you they won't be here until they call." "Where you going?" "To get my cigarettes." "They're in my purse." "You can have one of mine." "I smoke menthol, baby." "You know that." "I'll get them." "I forgot that thing was even in there, baby." "Ray gave me that for protection." "I don't even know how it works." "You pull the damn trigger." "Dale, what are you looking at me like this for?" "What, did you think I was going to shoot you or something?" "That's crazy." "Now can I have my cigarettes, please?" "Can I have a light, baby?" "(WHIPPOORWILL SINGS)" "So..." "Does that wife of yours treat you right?" "Yeah, Lila, she does." "That's good." "What's her name again?" "Thelma Lou?" "Cheryl Ann." "Oh, that's right." "And you and Cheryl Ann have a little girl." "What's her name?" "Bonnie." "How old is she?" "Eight." "You don't like talking with me about your family, do you?" "No, Lila, I don't guess I do." "I don't blame you." "I got something for you." "Where you going?" "Don't shoot me, officer." "DALE:" "What the hell are you doing now?" "Can I turn on the light?" "No." "I put it in here so it wouldn't get stale." "Can we leave this open so we can have some light?" "This is our baby's birthday cake." "Here you go." "I don't want any." "Suit yourself." "It's good." "You should try some." "Today's his birthday?" "No." "It's in September." "I missed it." "I left him with mama before he was two years old." "So that means I've missed four of his birthdays." "So we celebrated all four of them last night." "Does your mama know about..." "Know what?" "No, I never told her." "I never meant you any trouble, Dale." "I still don't." "I bet Bonnie would be surprised if she knew she had a half-brother over in nigger town, though." "You know, you really should have some of our baby's cake." "Quit calling him that." "Why?" "That's what he is." "Here." "Goddamn it!" "I told you I don't want any." "This what you want?" "What are you doing?" "This is what you want, isn't it?" "Come on, cut it out." "Cut it out." "Cut it out!" "Goddamn it!" "Why did you ever fuck with me?" "Me and my brother's daddy was white, did you know that?" "Of course, we never knew him." "He had another family." "But that's why I kind of look white." "Because my daddy was white." "And I guess you figured since I kind of look white, you can fuck me." "What the hell." "And because I was kind of black, you think you can dump me." "What the hell." "2-11 to 2-10." "2-11 to 2-10." "2-11 to 2-10." "Dale, where you at?" "(HARMONICA PLAYING)" "Hey, June!" "Junie!" "How you doing?" "You got something for me?" "How you doing, Mr. Charlie?" "Hello, is this Ronnie?" "Ronnie, this is Ray." "Listen, is Fantasia there?" "Yeah, Lila." "Where is she?" "Well, have you got a number out there for her?" "Yeah, listen, give it to me, all right?" "Yeah." "Ronnie?" "Ronnie, come here." "Ma'am?" "Come here." "I got to go." "Ronnie, now, if you know something about Lila being here, you tell these gentlemen." "Your sister's in trouble, but I don't want you being in trouble." "No, ma'am." "I don't know nothing about that." "Ronnie, June Hawkins down the street just told me he was out most of the night digging frogs south of town." "When he was driving back, he saw you driving along in front him, and Byron, he was with you." "Now, where had you and Byron been at 4:00 in the morning?" "We'd been here all night." "June's mixed up, he's getting old, he don't see very well." "Lying son of a bitch!" "I'll make him talk." "He's not gonna talk." "It's his sister." "Can I speak to the boy?" "How are you this morning, Byron?" "Just fine." "Pretty sleepy?" "Yeah, I guess so." "Did you go stay someplace with your uncle Ronnie last night?" "No." "You sure?" "Yeah." "You didn't see a lady, a pretty lady?" "No." "You sure?" "Yeah." "Did your uncle Ronnie tell you to say that?" "Yeah." "So this has just been pretend?" "Yeah." "What do you say we stop playing pretend and play really?" "Okay." "And I think you really ought to spend a night or two in jail, so you don't tell your sister." "Dale..." "You got to let me go." "I can't do that, Lila." "You can't let them put me in jail." "What's going to happen to our baby, with me in jail?" "Your mom will keep taking care of him." "I'll start giving her money for him." "Why don't you just give him the money?" "Why..." "Why don't you just say, "Byron, I'm your daddy?"" "Huh?" "I don't see how that would..." "Yeah, I guess that wouldn't be a good idea, would it?" "I guess that it would be better to just go on and put me in jail, and forget about your 5-year-old son." "(PHONE RINGING)" "Hello?" "Hi, baby." "Yeah, everything's cool." "Yeah, everything's real cool." "Uh, where are you calling from?" "Okay, what's the name of the gas station?" "Mmm-hmm." "Ray, you already missed the turnoff." "It's about half a mile back up the highway." "Mmm-hmm." "Uh, there's..." "You turn right at this place called "Cothern's Bait Shop."" "Yeah, there's a little road there." "Yeah, you're not far, baby." "Just about 10 minutes away." "Hurry." "Yeah, I miss you." "(ENGINE STARTING)" "Is that the road, Byron?" "I don't think so." "You don't think so?" "Lila, when they get here, I want you to get them inside the house and away from the car." "Open the door, wave at them, talk to them, just let them see everything's okay." "I want you to go back in the kitchen and stay there till I tell you to come out." "That way, in case they get trigger-happy, you'll be out of the line of fire." "And then you'll let me go?" "I'll let you go." "(PLAYING HARMONICA)" "Byron, is that the road you went down?" "Look, don't go in there fucking around." "In and out, you got me?" "Now what do you think I'm going to do?" "Don't worry about it, all right?" "You sure this is it?" "Yeah." "(WATER RUNNING)" "(CAR APPROACHING)" "You got it straight?" "You got it straight?" "Yeah." "Hi, baby." "Come on, Fantasia, let's go." "It'll be a few minutes, Ray." "I got to pack my stuff up." "What the hell are you going to pack?" "All you had was that little old goddamn purse." "It won't be long, you all come on in." "Shit." "I'm going to be right back." "That's bullshit." "I'm sticking on your ass." "Man, she better not have bought any fucking clothes." "How much she got to pack?" "Come on, come on." "Be careful, honey, I love you." "Spending my damn money." "Fantasia?" "Fantasia?" "Police Officer!" "Freeze!" "Get your hands up!" "Goddammit!" "I'll blow your fucking head off!" "What the fuck is this?" "Shut up!" "Get on the floor, get on the goddamn floor now!" "Now!" "Who the fuck are you?" "Goddammit, you fucking bitch!" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "What the fuck did you do this for, huh?" "I'm sorry, baby." "DALE:" "Lila, stay back!" "(GRUNTING)" "LILA:" "Oh, no!" "(GUNSHOT)" "LILA:" "No!"

"What's going on?" "I need help out here." "What's your 10-20?" "Oh, God." "Dale, what's your 20?" "Where are you?" "I'm on off the highway, two miles, down Sulphur Springs road." "There's a house in there, in the woods..." "There's this house..." "Is there an address?" "Goddamn it, Jimmy, I don't know if there's a goddamn address." "Just get some help out here and an ambulance." "I got three suspects down and I'm hurting pretty bad." "Three suspects down." "Sulphur Springs road." "Do you know where that is, Charlie?" "Yeah." "Hold on tight." "(SIREN WAILING)" "Oh, sweet Jesus." "Dale!" "Charlie, do something." "Oh, shit." "Dud, Dud, come on!" "Charlie's taking care of it." "Come on, come on!" "Dale, Dale..." "Dale!" "CHARLIE:" "This is 2-11 to base, 2-11 to base." "I need an ambulance out here on Sulphur Springs road right away." "That son of a bitch nailed him." "Yeah." "Dale?" "Hey, man, hey." "Hang in there." "I've got an ambulance on the way." "I'm going to run in the house and get you some blankets, okay?" "Are you dead, mister?" "Hmm?" "Are you dead, mister?" "No, not quite." "Where's the lady at?" "She's over there." "Don't go away, come back." "Come back here and stay with me." "Yeah." "Just stay here with me." "How did you get the blood on yourself?" "I got in a fight." "(GROANING)" "What do you do with your keys?" "Oh..." "I lock things up." "Come here." "I can't see your face." "Come here a little closer." "Yeah." "Your name is Byron." "How..." "You're five years old?" "Four or five?" "Five." "Yeah." "Just come sit with me here." "Yeah, okay." "Oh..."
