'In the Ancient World, people placed heavy stones | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
'on the graves of their dead so their souls would not wander | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
'and afflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
'of superstitious and primitive people. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
'But I was about to learn that the dead can hover | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
'on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
'And their claim on the earth can be as legitimate | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
'and tenacious as our own.' | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
I hope this poor girl was dead before he started carving on her. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
This poor girl didn't have a whole lot of good luck. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
'The murdered girl's name was Cherry LeBlanc. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
'Her father had disappeared after he was accused of molesting a black child in his neighbourhood. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
'I went to talk to her grandparents. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
'I learned little about her except she seemed to have been | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
'an uneducated, hapless and fatally beautiful girl. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
'Busted for prostitution at 15, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
'dead at 19.' | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
Mr Trajan. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
We've been over this three times now. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Cherry's been working here off and on for the past few weeks. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
She had a night off, she's gonna show up anyhow to listen to "Hogman" Patin. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
That girl had a real thing for Hogman. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Some time around one, she put her purse behind the bar and said she'd go outside for a while. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
-Did you know she'd been arrested for prostitution? -I didn't. -No? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
All right. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
OK. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
You hired her cos you thought she was an honours student at LSU. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
I can't say I care for the way you're talking to me, detective. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
If I find out you've been holding back information, Mr Trajan, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
I'm gonna come back here with a warrant, Mr Trajan, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
for your arrest. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Did you know Cherry LeBlanc, little white girl, 19 years old? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
She worked here, didn't she? | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Do you know if she had a boyfriend at all? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
If that's what you wanna call it. She in the business. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
Is Mr Trajan involved? | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-Ask him. -I don't think he was. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
Otherwise you wouldn't be telling me these things. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
THUNDER RUMBLES | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
She a sad girl. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
I told her a pretty white girl like you could have anything you want - | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
school, a car, a husband working on one of them oil rigs. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
When that girl dress up, she look just like a movie star. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
Who was her pimp? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
They come here for her. When they want her, they come take her home. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
Do you know who they were, what their name was? | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
They guys ain't got no names. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
They drive they big-ass cars up here when she get off work. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
The poor thing gets in. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
I don't know nothing else, me. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:43 | |
She wasn't about to give the name | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
of some rich white man to an old black woman. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
What rich white man? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
Some rich white man maybe... | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
..get her out of the business of selling jelly roll. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
She said that just before somebody done them awful things to that young girl. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
'When I was hitting the bottle for months, I dreamt about a white wolf | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
'who lived in a skeletal black tree on an infinite white landscape. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
'At the base of the tree was a nest of pups. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
'In the dream, the wolf would drop to the ground | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
'and eat her young one by one. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
'I wondered what kind of dreams the killer of Cherry LeBlanc had. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
'Or maybe it was better not to know. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
ENGINE REVS, TYRES SCREECH | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
SIREN WAILS | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Could I see your driver's licence, please? | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-My what? -Driver's licence. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-Please take it out your billfold, hand it to me. -Oh, yeah, sure. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
Well... I was a little careless back there. I'm sorry about that. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
-You're Elrod T Sykes? -Yes, sir, that's who I am. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Step out the car, Mr Sykes. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
Yes, sir. Anything you say, sir. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
Mr Sykes, I think you've been drinking. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
I know you've been smoking marijuana. Your lady friend just ate the roach. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:40 | |
Ooh, well, that wouldn't be good now, would it? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
You're under arrest, Mr Sykes. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
I'm gonna take you just down here to the city jail. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
I'll send a car for Miss Drummond. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
Your car is gonna be towed to the pound. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
This is bad news. This is not on my agenda. We're just starting a movie. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
I enjoy all your films. Miss Drummond's, too. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
-Take your car keys out the ignition, please. -El, do something. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
Yeah, sure. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:04 | |
I feel real bad about this. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
Can he make a contribution | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
to Mothers Against Drunk Driving or something like that? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
As an admirer of your work, | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
I recommend you don't make any more mentions of contributions. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
You don't need to show me any identification. I really enjoyed Galaxy 9. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
Excuse me, but are you the prototypical macho shithead. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
Especially Part 2. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:29 | |
You stay put. Deputy will be along in a while to take you home. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
Allons. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-You're not gonna get sick in my truck, are you? -No, I'm just fine. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
ELROD GROANS | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
RETCHES | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
I know where there's a dead body. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
What? | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
Looks like a big pile of gristle and bone. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
Where was this? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
Way the hell out in Atchafalaya Swamp. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
We had to pick up a scene near the old Indian reservation. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
I went to take a leak. I saw it sticking out of a sandbar. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
Get back in the truck. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
That swamp full of old Indian bones. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
GROANS | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
-Sorry, I didn't catch your name. -Dave Robicheaux. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
Mr Robicheaux. Now, if that was an Indian I found, | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
I was wondering what he was doing with a chain wrapped around him. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
Say that again. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:06 | |
It's a rusted chain with links as big as my fist | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
crisscrossed around his rib cage. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
Can you find that sandbar again? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
Yes, sir, I believe I could. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
I'm gonna make a confession to you. DWIs are a pain in the butt. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
If I take you home, can I have your word you'll be in my office, 9.00 in the morning? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
9am, you got it. Absolutely. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
Hey, I really appreciate this. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
Elrod Sykes and Kelly Drummond? I want to go to the set! | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
-Sykes is a drunk. -Please! -His head glows in the dark. -Please? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
-Maybe we could get an autographed movie poster. -Yeah, please! | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
Not for you, for the hurricane relief auction. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
-OK. Cool. Please, Dave? -Will you hush? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
I'll take her and look out for her, if it's all right with you. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
Maybe we could get Kelly Drummond to sign one, too, pay for somebody's roof. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
Please? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
I don't know if Mr Sykes told you he's taking a new prescription | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
for his asthma, but evidently the medicine reacted with his system. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
-The studio also wishes... -What's your name again, sir? -Oliver Montrose. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
Mr Montrose, where's Sykes at right now? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
By this time, they're on location by Spanish Lake. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
Good. So one hour ought to be enough time for you to find Mr Elrod T Sykes | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
and bring his young ass back here to this office, shouldn't it? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
I broke my word, I'm aware of that. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
But it cost 25 grand an hour and we have 100 guys standing around | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
while a guy like me is trying to get out of trouble. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
Let me explain something to you. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
Yesterday, somebody raped and murdered a 19-year-old girl on the south side of this parish. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
He cut her breasts off. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
He pulled the entrails out of her belly. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
He pushed a cypress branch up her vagina. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
Can you understand why I am not interested | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
in your film company's awe-inspiring production problems? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
Did you ever hear talk of Confederate soldiers in the mist? | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
No. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
About one guy in particular. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
Limps along with a crutch. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
I think maybe it's a general. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
Thought you were making a movie about the war between the states. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
You know that's not what it is. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
It's over yonder. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
Hold on there, Mr Sykes. Best put some of this on. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
We used to have a lot of bats down here, | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
but the mosquitoes ate 'em all. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
Boy's a long way from his Hollywood poontang, ain't he? | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
This jackass is objectifying you, Mr Sykes, because he's had very little exposure | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
to the outside world. Don't let it bother you. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
How do you reckon those bones got caught up in those roots? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
Hurricane Betsy blowing through here in '65 | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
-probably buried him and Katrina unearthed him. -Why '65? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
Hurricanes tear up this part of the country all the time. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
See that left shin bone? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
-Clipped in half. -That's where they shot him when he tried to run away. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
-You a psychic or something? -No, I saw it happen about a mile from here. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:24 | |
You saying some white people lynched somebody around here? | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
When we get back, you'll have to talk to your sheriff, | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
get the coroner out here now. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
I don't know about y'all over in Iberia Parish, but, er, | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
around here, ain't nobody gonna be interested in nigger trouble that's 40 years old. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
What you looking for, Mr Robicheaux? | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
I don't see any remnants of a belt on his trousers... | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
or any laces in his boots. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
That boy probably did his shopping at the Goodwill. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
GUNSHOT | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
Back then, with no body, no missing persons report, | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
that sheriff had no reason to believe me, | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
much less get off his ass and go to work. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
You're not 17 years old any more. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
The trouble I have with you is getting you away from work. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
You've done everything that you can. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
You have no good reason to beat yourself up. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
Now drink your milk and come to bed. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
I'm horny. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
The sheriff over in St Clair Parish said thanks a lot | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
for that pile of bones you found out in Atchafalaya yesterday. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
They really appreciate the extra work. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
He need to find a new line of work, he don't like them bones. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
He said you're welcome to come over on days off, run an investigation. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
Their coroner's got them bones now waitin' on ya. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
Autopsy report came in on that LeBlanc girl. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
Looks like we're talking about a psychopath, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
somebody wired to the eyes on crack or meth. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
Maybe. I think she knew him. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
-So, you don't think it was a John? -No. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
She left her purse at the bar with all her condoms in it. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
Cherry LeBlanc was a working girl with ambition. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
Maybe she misjudged a business opportunity here. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
Who's a girl like that gonna be in business with? | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
Erm...Baby Feet? | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
Maybe Baby Feet. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:32 | |
-Cholo. I thought you was in the pen. -No, man. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
Katrina done rinsed my hands clean. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
The whole damn crime lab washed off down the river. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
Ain't got nothing on me in New Orleans. Doing fine, bro. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
They ain't even got enough money to lobotomize guys like me no more. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
What's going on, Dave? | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
-I'm investigating a murder, Julie. -No kidding. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:03 | |
Y'all worried about me, Dave? | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
Hell, yeah. How many guys would burn down | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
their own father's nightclub with their father still in it? | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
You got to forgive me if I get a little upset | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
by these kinds of attitudes, Dave. I come home to this shithole. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
I'm a prominent man in the entertainment business. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
I talk on the phone every day to people in California | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
you read about in Entertainment Weekly. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
They ought to have "Welcome Back Balboni Day". | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Instead, I get treated like sewer gas by you. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
You understand what I'm saying, Dave. It hurts me. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
Sit down while I take a whiz. Cholo, | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
where's your hospitality? Get the man a drink. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
Here, Lieutenant. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
Julie was telling me about the time that nigger almost popped you with a .38. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |
Said he saved your life. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
Weren't you and Julie baseball buddies in school? | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
Take the hint, Cholo. This guy's not a conversationalist. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:18 | |
You working on that Cherry LeBlanc deal? | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
-What do you know about that? -All over today's paper, man. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
Julie and me were just talking about it. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
Sounds like you got one sick fuck on the loose. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
SIGHS | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
My meter's running. I want to talk about that murdered girl we found. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
-Which girl is that? -Cherry LeBlanc. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
I guess I ain't heard about it. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-You don't read the newspapers? -I've been busy. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
I can see that. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
We used to be friends, Dave. I even maybe did you a favour once. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
So, I'll line it out for you | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
and any locals who wanna get the wax out their ears. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
Louisiana's flat-ass broke. New Orleans is a mortuary. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
And the bottom of a toilet's got more appeal than this shithole. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
So, they best wake up to the fact we are dropping close to 40 million | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
in Iberia Parish. They don't like the name Balboni around here? | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
We'll move the whole fuckin' movie to Mississippi. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
See how that floats with those jack-offs in the Chamber of Commerce. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-You're in the movie business now? -Yeah. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
I'm producing White Doves with Michael Goldman. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-What you think about that? -I'm sure everybody wishes you success, Julie. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
I'm gonna do a baseball movie next. You want a part in it? | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
You can go on in. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:57 | |
You recognize me, Dave? | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
It's Doucet, isn't it? | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
-Yes, sir, Murphy Doucet. You got a good memory. -Mmm-hmm. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
Was with Jefferson Parish's Sheriff Department when you were with NOPD. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
Looks like you're in the movie business now. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
Yeah. I own half of a security service now, | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
and I'm still with the Teamsters out of Lafayette. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
So I'm kind of doing double duty here. There some kind of trouble? | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
-Where can I find Mr Goldman? -Right on the other side of them trees. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:26 | |
-I'll let him know you're coming. -It's all right. I'll find him. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
So, you're investigating a crime. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
Seen any crime around here? | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
Only crime I'm aware of is the air conditioning in my trailer. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
You could fry an egg on the toilet seat in there. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
Then, I've got a lead actor digging up skeletons in sandbars, | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
exactly what I need while I'm shooting a picture. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
Mr Goldman, is Mr Julius Balboni producing this film? | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
-Producing? -Yeah. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
I must've really fucked up in my previous incarnation. Maybe... | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
Maybe I sunk the Titanic, or, er, assassinated Archduke Ferdinand. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:03 | |
-I am the only producer. -So, Mr Balboni's lying. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
Mr Balboni is investing some of his money | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
in a motion picture. Is that illegal? | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
Congratulations. You in business with the man | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
that hung Fulvio Raneri's cousin up by his colon on a meat hook. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
Do you recognise this girl, Cherry LeBlanc? | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
'Hogman Patin had murdered, with a cane knife and in broad daylight, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
'a white burial insurance collector who was sleeping with his wife. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
'He served 17 years in Angola, had a bunch of knife fights, | 0:20:35 | 0:20:39 | |
'was punished on ant hills and in cast-iron sweat boxes | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
'and was brought to salvation by a Baptist preacher in Baton Rouge. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:47 | |
'I liked Hogman.' | 0:20:47 | 0:20:48 | |
I don't like to have nothing to do with white folks' business... | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
but it bothers me what somebody do to that girl. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
I spoke to her about two hours before she left the juke. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
She said, "Hogman, in my next life, me and you gonna get married." | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
I said, "Darling, don't let those men misuse you for no chicken." | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
She said, "I'm gonna have my townhouse on Lake Pontchartrain." | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
She hooked up with somebody from New Orleans? | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
Probably some white-trash pimp told her she's special, she's pretty. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:22 | |
But she done got herself killed instead. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
PLAYS CHORDS | 0:21:27 | 0:21:28 | |
Are you mixed up with that skeleton they found over in Atchafalaya? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
How do you know about that? | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
When somebody find a dead black man, black people knows about it. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
I'm listening. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
A blue jay don't sit on a mockingbird's nest. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
The mockingbird will whoop the blue jay's ass every time. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
-What are we talking about here, Sam? -I'm talking about a black man. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
No, that ain't right. This is a nigger I'm talking about. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
He was carrying on with a white woman who husband he worked for. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
-I think them was his bones you dug in that sandbar. -What was his name? | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
Who care what's his name? Maybe he got what he asked for. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
-I say, "Past is past, and don't be messin' in it." -You warning me? | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
What was that white woman's name? | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
I got to go start my beans now. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
'Hogman, who feared very little in the world, looked worried and frightened. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
'He had cautioned me because of the discovery of the lynched man. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
'To him, those events were still alive with an unforgiven and collective shame. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
'And the participants were alive too and could hurt him.' | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
Alafair, you got to keep this raccoon out of my fried pie. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
Next time, I'm gonna swat him with my broom. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
Don't you dare hurt him. Tripod didn't do anything wrong. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
-Why don't you try keeping the smell of cigars out of the yard? -Alafair. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
You shouldn't talk to Batist like that. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
But he threatened Tripod with menacing violence. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Tripod's a raccoon, baby. Apologise to Batist. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
Sorry for what I said. And I'm saying it cos Dave made me. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
That's a beautiful child, Dave. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
By the time she's 18 years old, | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
your hair's gonna be solid white, | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
if there's any of it left. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
HORN BLARES | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
Oh, wow! | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
This is great! | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
How you doing, Mr Robicheaux? | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
Hope you don't mind us coming by. We want to have dinner with y'all tonight. | 0:23:56 | 0:24:01 | |
My wife's already cooking supper. I'm on my way over there. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
Hurry, we got reservations at Clementine's, everybody. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
The family has plans for this evening, Mr Sykes. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
This is embarrassing, El. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
I have a reservation, but... | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
Hey, I don't want to cause any problems. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
We'll just pick up our liquids at your store and hit the road, OK? | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
Mr Sykes... | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
..you've been driving drunk, and you've come to a cop's house to buy more booze. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
Why don't you hand those keys to Miss Drummond? | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
Where's that beer at? | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
Hey... | 0:24:44 | 0:24:45 | |
You're a good man. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
Y'all need to be real careful. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
Elrod's a shitbird, but I love him. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
It's all right. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:01 | |
Um... | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
We'll settle up. We'll settle up later, yeah? | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
All right. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
-Other side. -Ah! | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
Come here. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
-Elrod! -What? | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
He just fell in the Bayou. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
Check me out. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:43 | |
-Some more? Made 'em myself. -Oh, thank you. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
-Elrod's wearing Dave's jersey. Can you believe it? -Mm-hm. Now, go do your homework. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
-Something to drink? -Mmm. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
-How about a beer? -I think we're out. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
I'm sure there's one in there somewhere. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
-I'm gonna go feed Alafair's rabbits. You care to join me? -Yeah, sure. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
Is Alafair your daughter? | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
She's from El Salvador. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
Dave pulled her out of an airplane wreck and adopted her. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:26 | |
Do you have kids? | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
No. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:31 | |
-You ever see lights in the cypress trees at night? -That's swamp gas. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
It'll ignite and roll out across the waters like ball lightning. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
No, sir, that's not what it is. It's these guys out by the lake. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
They have lanterns hanging from some of their ambulances. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
A lot of those soldiers had maggots in their wounds. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
That's the only reason they lived. The maggots ate out the infection. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
You've been drunk a long time. Soon, all the trees will be talking to you. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
A wild orchid sang a song to me one time. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
-She had the prettiest voice. -Yeah, I wasn't drunk. -Mmm-hmm. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
This guy, the general, he's standing on a crutch by the water, | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
and he said to me, "You and your friend, the law man, must repel them." | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
I think you're delusional. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:22 | |
You might wanna think about going to an AA meeting with me one time. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:27 | |
Maybe I was a little drunk. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
I hope you have his adjutant's pistol. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
To do what? | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
The general said, "Your friend has the revolver of my adjutant, | 0:27:35 | 0:27:41 | |
"Major John Moss." | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
-What is the matter with you? -Come here. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
Look at that. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:03 | |
-It says CSA. -No, right there. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
J Moss. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
It says J Moss. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:12 | |
So what? | 0:28:15 | 0:28:16 | |
PAGER BEEPS | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
-Thanks for the call, Lou. -When I saw that electrical tape | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
round her hands and feet, or what's left of 'em, | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
I thought about that LeBlanc case you got going. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
Where's she at now? | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
She's right there, still in that barrel. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
She got about 15 big blue crabs on her. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:07 | |
Coroner says, we move her, she's coming out in pieces. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:12 | |
We'll have a rough time getting an ID, maybe... Maybe by her teeth. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:19 | |
That's the poor bastard who found her. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:22 | |
When did you first notice that barrel? | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
About four or three weeks back. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
Did you see anyone else out there, on that levee? | 0:29:28 | 0:29:32 | |
Yeah. About a month ago, in the evening, I seen a dark-coloured car. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:37 | |
I remember thinkin'... It was brand new, you know? | 0:29:37 | 0:29:41 | |
Why would anybody want to bring their new car down | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
-on that dirt road full of holes? -Remember what kind of car it was? | 0:29:43 | 0:29:47 | |
No, sir. I'm sorry. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
I just wish I hadn't been the one to find that poor woman. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
-That'll do. Thank you. The officer will take you home. -Thank you. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:57 | |
Jesus Christ, Dave! | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
That's right. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:06 | |
I need a tow truck to haul off a limousine. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
Can't miss it. Right in front of Chez Narcisse. Right now. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
'Copy that.' | 0:30:27 | 0:30:29 | |
JULIE: You get the Roman Army down here. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:09 | |
One division could've knocked off these squirrel hunters, | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
had the Civil War over in one year. Maybe we'll do a Bible movie next. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:15 | |
Yeah, but how do you fight a war with sandals? That's...stupid. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:20 | |
How did they win wars with sandals, hmm? | 0:31:20 | 0:31:23 | |
-What's going on, Dave? -I had a long night last night. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:44 | |
Found a girl in a barrel down in south St Martin Parish. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:47 | |
She covered up in blue crabs. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:50 | |
-You ought to run her again. We'll have gumbo. -LAUGHTER | 0:31:50 | 0:31:54 | |
You here for breakfast? | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
RUMBLING | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
Sit down. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:04 | |
You're pissed off, so you have my car towed. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:12 | |
-Quit parking in front of fireplugs. -Fireplugs? | 0:32:12 | 0:32:15 | |
-I'm getting this shit because of fireplugs? -No, Julie. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:18 | |
I wanna know what you have to do with a hooker named Cherry LeBlanc. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:22 | |
-Who the fuck is Cherry LeBlanc? -You know. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
You and Cholo were talking about her before I got to the Holiday Inn. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:28 | |
-Calling me a liar? -You're a mother- fuckin' lying piece of dog shit! | 0:32:28 | 0:32:33 | |
I think this sweet little town's starting to rub off on you. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:37 | |
-Gentlemen, could you please not use that language... -Get the fuck away from my table! | 0:32:37 | 0:32:42 | |
-It's OK, Mr Meaux. I'll be gone in a second. -Oh, sad to hear that(!) | 0:32:42 | 0:32:46 | |
I don't know none of these girls. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:49 | |
I don't have nothing to do with your business. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
You said some ugly things about me, Dave, and I'm gonna let it slide. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:58 | |
I'll call a couple of cabs, I'll pay the fine on my car, | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
I'll buy some new tyres... | 0:33:02 | 0:33:04 | |
and I'll forget everything you've been saying to me, | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
because I got a business to run. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
-Everybody's been pretty polite here. -Keep it simple, stupid. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:15 | |
It's time for you to let people alone, Mr Robicheaux. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:19 | |
Ease off, Lieutenant. This ain't good for nobody. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:27 | |
You're losing it, Dave. You need to get yourself some better tranqs. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
-What did he do? -Put his hand on my shoulder, I started tearing him apart. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:48 | |
It was like being in a drunk dream. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
Balboni family'll make their movie, then they'll go away. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
Balbonis are the pesticides all around South Louisiana. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
Sister Mariah got 100,000 out of Balboni for the Hurricane recovery fund. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:02 | |
How'd she do that? | 0:34:02 | 0:34:03 | |
Shame and guilt. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:04 | |
Those nuns are really good at it. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:07 | |
Baby Feet don't wanna go to hell. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:09 | |
# I'm, I'm coming home | 0:34:36 | 0:34:41 | |
# Cos I feel you don't feel so all alone | 0:34:43 | 0:34:48 | |
# I'm coming back home | 0:34:48 | 0:34:52 | |
# And meet my... # | 0:34:52 | 0:34:53 | |
Want some, er, cappuccino mix? Cops like coffee, right? Or-or a stereo? | 0:34:53 | 0:34:57 | |
You know anybody been recruiting girls out the parishes? | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
Try the bus depot, for starters. But who's gonna recruit? | 0:35:00 | 0:35:05 | |
Ever since Katrina, there's cash on the hoof all over this town. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:09 | |
Maybe this guy does more than just pimp. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:11 | |
Maybe he likes to hurt these girls. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:13 | |
Been two of 'em killed already, maybe more. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:18 | |
Talking about somebody that operates at the bottom of the food chain. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:22 | |
You think Baby Feets Balboni might have something to do this? | 0:35:22 | 0:35:26 | |
You're using the names of local personalities now. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
It stays with me, Jimmie. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
-You looking for a guy who likes to kill hookers? -Mmm-hmm. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
Don't sound like Baby Feet. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:43 | |
His outfit's running girls, all right, but... | 0:35:43 | 0:35:45 | |
they're not worth nothing to him if they're dead. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:48 | |
Try the bus station. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
Three or four of these entrepreneurs work at the bus depot. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:57 | |
One of 'em sticks out like shit in an ice-cream factory. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
Nothing against coloured people. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:02 | |
What's his name? | 0:36:02 | 0:36:04 | |
Brown. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:06 | |
You, er, ladies seem lost. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
You're not from around here, are you? | 0:36:20 | 0:36:23 | |
'The inside of the bus depot reeked of cigar butts | 0:36:25 | 0:36:29 | |
'and the diesel exhaust that blew through the doors to the boarding area. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:33 | |
'And I was feeling empty. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:34 | |
'Used up after the long night. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
'wired with too many voices, too many people on the hustle. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:40 | |
'Too many people who bought and sold other people. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
-'Or killed.' -Split it. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:46 | |
I want you to make a public service announcement for me, chere. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:55 | |
I know what it's like to run away. Praise Jesus... | 0:36:55 | 0:36:58 | |
'There's a call for Mr Adonis Brown at the public restroom pay phone.' | 0:36:58 | 0:37:04 | |
'There's a call for Mr Adonis Brown at the public restroom pay phone.' | 0:37:07 | 0:37:12 | |
This is Adonis. What's up? | 0:37:15 | 0:37:18 | |
Hello? | 0:37:18 | 0:37:19 | |
What you want, man? (GROANS) | 0:37:24 | 0:37:25 | |
Don't do that. I ain't no threat to you. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:29 | |
Look, I ain't got a gun. I ain't no trouble. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
I want to know who you been delivering these girls to. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
-This room's occupied, by the way. -I ain't bringing nobody to nobody... | 0:37:35 | 0:37:39 | |
-You know the guy I'm talking about. -Don't do this to me, man. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:43 | |
Tell me his name. This guy likes to hurt people. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
Tell me his name, this'll all be over with. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:51 | |
There's a...bald-headed, squirrel-faced white guy. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:56 | |
Er... He carries a gun, too. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:59 | |
Nobody fucks with him. Is that guy you're talking about? | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
You tell me. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
He's got juice. That's all I know. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
-I don't know his fuckin' name, man! -He connected? | 0:38:10 | 0:38:14 | |
With the cops or the mob. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
He's got to be to stay in business. That's all I know. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:21 | |
Why you doing this to me, man? | 0:38:24 | 0:38:25 | |
God. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:30 | |
I shit my pants. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:33 | |
-I can't go back out there. -You ain't ever gonna go back out there. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:38 | |
You're gonna treat that bus station like it's downtown Baghdad. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:41 | |
-Not a good place for you to be. -Who the fuck are you, man? | 0:38:41 | 0:38:44 | |
You don't want to know. What you wanna do is quit doing wrong. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
I'll kill you, Adonis. I'll blow your goddamn head off | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
if you don't find an honest line of work. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
It's called the Home of Hope. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:58 | |
Don't worry, they won't ask you any questions. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:01 | |
You just ask for Sister Mariah. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:03 | |
Look here, this is all the money I got on me right now. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
You stay gone most of the night. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:13 | |
You don't call. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:16 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:18 | |
-I don't deserve to be afraid you've been hurt. -No. You don't. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:24 | |
But I'm not gonna nag you. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:29 | |
No, sir, I wouldn't exactly call it a dead end. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
If you have a seat, I'll be right with you. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
Thank you. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:54 | |
It's a 100 million contract. | 0:40:55 | 0:40:57 | |
He must have pocketed 60-70 million. | 0:40:57 | 0:41:00 | |
False load slips, bogus waybills. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
Balboni Trucking hauled just about enough debris to fill a Dixie cup. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:07 | |
Yes, sir, we are trying. Thank you. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:11 | |
-Can I help you with something? -I hope so. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:15 | |
This is my office. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
Oh, my God, I'm sorry. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:19 | |
A call came in for me on your extension, and I just... | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
I'm Special Agent Rosa Gomez. Everyone calls me Rosie. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:26 | |
-So call me Rosie. -It's nice to meet you, Special Agent Rosie. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:29 | |
"Your detective's investigative missteps will hurt you in November." | 0:41:35 | 0:41:40 | |
That's courtesy of that prick Bubba Broussard at city council. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
So you called the FBI. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:45 | |
The FBI's been trying to nail Balboni for over a year now on a FEMA scam. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:50 | |
And they still have precisely nothing on him. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:53 | |
That's why I think they're hoping there's more to that Cherry LeBlanc case | 0:41:53 | 0:41:58 | |
Course, now that they're here, that gives Broussard somebody else to blame. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:03 | |
Now, Balboni is throwing a birthday bash for Mr Michael Goldman this evening. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:09 | |
I think you should attend. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:13 | |
I think Cherry LeBlanc knew her killer. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:18 | |
-What about the Jane Doe in the barrel? -She knew him too. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:23 | |
There's 17 unsolved homicides in Louisiana that share some similarities with this case. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:28 | |
And ten of them share multiple common denominators. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
All show marks from being bound, all young, all working class. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
One was a high school girl, two were waitresses. Three had been runaways. And four were prostitutes. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:38 | |
The FBI has an informational advantage over Iberia Parish. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:45 | |
-How do you like that catfish court bouillon? -Er, it's interesting. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |
Thank you. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:52 | |
If you found the remains of a black man, and he had no belt, | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
no laces in his boot, what speculation would you make about him? | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
Obviously he'd been in jail, a parish, or city holding tank, | 0:43:01 | 0:43:05 | |
-some place they were afraid he'd harm himself. -That's what I think. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:08 | |
# You're damn right I've got the blues | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
# From my head down to my shoes... # | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
MUSIC CONTINUES | 0:43:16 | 0:43:18 | |
Get outta here! | 0:43:26 | 0:43:27 | |
'Baby Feet was having a ball. | 0:43:27 | 0:43:30 | |
'Trying to understand how somebody like him thinks is as productive | 0:43:30 | 0:43:33 | |
'as placing your head inside a microwave oven to study the nature of electricity. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:37 | |
Oh, what? | 0:43:43 | 0:43:44 | |
Your name? | 0:43:44 | 0:43:45 | |
Balboni. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:47 | |
With a B. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:50 | |
As in bumbling, journalistic butt wipe for one bum fuck idiot. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:55 | |
Hey, Dave. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:01 | |
-Gotta get yourself some food, it's free. -Thanks, I've already eaten. | 0:44:01 | 0:44:05 | |
See that mad bird dog? | 0:44:07 | 0:44:09 | |
Twinky Hebert LeMoyne. | 0:44:09 | 0:44:12 | |
That's the other half of my security service. | 0:44:12 | 0:44:14 | |
-What's he doing here? -He's an investor in the movie | 0:44:14 | 0:44:17 | |
and he's trying to get laid. | 0:44:17 | 0:44:19 | |
You like doing business with Twinky LeMoyne? | 0:44:21 | 0:44:24 | |
It's good for me. For him it's no big deal, really. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:26 | |
If there's a business around here making money, | 0:44:26 | 0:44:29 | |
you can be sure he's got a piece of it. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:31 | |
Oh, God, that man knows how to make money. | 0:44:31 | 0:44:34 | |
Looks like Mr Twinky LeMoyne's feeling ambitious and dedicated today. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:53 | |
I worked for Mr Twinky 28 years ago. | 0:44:53 | 0:44:56 | |
Back then, you breathed... | 0:44:56 | 0:44:58 | |
'I tried to speak with Hogman and failed. | 0:44:58 | 0:45:01 | |
'He was evasive, there were too many people. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:04 | |
'The waiter handed me a frosted glass filled with Dr Pepper. | 0:45:04 | 0:45:08 | |
'I took the cup off the tray and drank it.' | 0:45:08 | 0:45:11 | |
I didn't order that. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:13 | |
'The ice was so cold it made my throat ache.' | 0:45:15 | 0:45:17 | |
I'm General John Bell Hood, Commander of the Texas Brigade. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:45 | |
Commander of the 4th Texas Cavalry, | 0:48:45 | 0:48:48 | |
the 5th Texas Cavalry | 0:48:48 | 0:48:50 | |
and the 17th Texas Infantry. | 0:48:50 | 0:48:53 | |
How do you do? | 0:48:54 | 0:48:55 | |
Do you object to shaking hands? | 0:48:59 | 0:49:01 | |
Am I dead? | 0:49:01 | 0:49:02 | |
You don't look like it to me. | 0:49:02 | 0:49:04 | |
-You were at Gettysburg. The war's over. -It's never over. | 0:49:04 | 0:49:07 | |
I would think you'd know that. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:09 | |
You were a lieutenant in the United States Army, weren't you? | 0:49:09 | 0:49:13 | |
My head hurts. My head, it... | 0:49:13 | 0:49:15 | |
-Sure does hurt. -Venal and evil people are destroying the world you were born in. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:23 | |
It's us against them, my good friend. | 0:49:23 | 0:49:26 | |
It's gonna be bad, isn't it? | 0:49:26 | 0:49:28 | |
You've survived worse. | 0:49:28 | 0:49:30 | |
Don't compromise your principles. | 0:49:31 | 0:49:33 | |
Or abandon your cause. | 0:49:33 | 0:49:35 | |
Do you know what's waiting for me on down the road? | 0:49:35 | 0:49:38 | |
For one reason or another... | 0:49:38 | 0:49:40 | |
..I find I have more insight into the past than the future. | 0:49:41 | 0:49:45 | |
Try to keep this in mind. | 0:49:45 | 0:49:47 | |
It's just like when they load the cannon with horseshoes and log chain. | 0:49:47 | 0:49:51 | |
You think the barrage would last for ever, | 0:49:51 | 0:49:55 | |
then all of a sudden there's a silence louder than the cannon fire. | 0:49:55 | 0:50:00 | |
Please don't be alarmed by the severity of my comparison. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:04 | |
Have a good night, Lieutenant. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:09 | |
Paramedics who brought you in said you were talking about | 0:50:31 | 0:50:34 | |
Confederate soldiers out in the swamp. | 0:50:34 | 0:50:36 | |
It was an unusual night. | 0:50:36 | 0:50:39 | |
Is it possible one of the Hollywood characters laced your Dr Pepper? | 0:50:39 | 0:50:42 | |
-Do what? -The tox screen came back positive for LSD. | 0:50:42 | 0:50:46 | |
HE GROANS I-I... | 0:50:46 | 0:50:49 | |
-I need to talk to the sheriff. -The sheriff was here this morning. | 0:50:49 | 0:50:53 | |
You talked to him for half an hour. | 0:50:53 | 0:50:55 | |
What'd I say? | 0:50:57 | 0:50:58 | |
-What'd I say? -Nothing that made any sense to me. | 0:51:01 | 0:51:06 | |
BIRDS CHIRP | 0:51:06 | 0:51:08 | |
-What's that? -A salamander. | 0:51:08 | 0:51:10 | |
When you reel him in through the water, his little legs and tail | 0:51:10 | 0:51:15 | |
wiggle like he was swimming. | 0:51:15 | 0:51:16 | |
Makes the black bass hungry. | 0:51:17 | 0:51:19 | |
How would you define the idea of understanding? | 0:51:24 | 0:51:28 | |
Well, it's knowing something and knowing what it means. | 0:51:33 | 0:51:39 | |
I think there's two ways of looking at the idea of understanding. | 0:51:40 | 0:51:44 | |
One is, if you don't look, you never will see. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:47 | |
The other is, if you look a little less, | 0:51:47 | 0:51:50 | |
you might see a hell of a lot more. | 0:51:50 | 0:51:51 | |
You might not be over those drugs they put in your drink. | 0:51:55 | 0:51:58 | |
Do you think that wad of rubber latex that conceals a fish hook | 0:52:02 | 0:52:05 | |
understands that it's really a salamander? | 0:52:05 | 0:52:09 | |
Or do you think that salamander understands | 0:52:11 | 0:52:14 | |
that it's nothing more than a wad of rubber latex | 0:52:14 | 0:52:19 | |
concealing a fish hook? | 0:52:19 | 0:52:20 | |
Jesus, I don't know. Ask a black bass. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:27 | |
I know General John Bell Hood of the Texas Calvary | 0:52:29 | 0:52:31 | |
just like he was my own grandfather. | 0:52:31 | 0:52:34 | |
The general had spoken of a venal and evil man | 0:52:40 | 0:52:42 | |
that would destroy the world I was born in. | 0:52:42 | 0:52:44 | |
Was he referring to the 1965 killers, to the murder of Cherry LeBlanc? | 0:52:44 | 0:52:49 | |
Or to Julie Balboni? | 0:52:49 | 0:52:50 | |
I was somehow convinced Baby Feet was mixed up with Cherry LeBlanc | 0:52:50 | 0:52:53 | |
and as Twinky LeMoyne had business ties with him | 0:52:53 | 0:52:56 | |
that made him fair game. | 0:52:56 | 0:52:58 | |
Are you accusing me of working with the mafia? | 0:53:04 | 0:53:08 | |
When you do business with a man like Balboni, you create curiosity. | 0:53:08 | 0:53:11 | |
I don't do business with him. I don't do anything with him! | 0:53:11 | 0:53:15 | |
I'm a member of a group of investors | 0:53:15 | 0:53:18 | |
that have put money into a movie production in New Iberia. | 0:53:18 | 0:53:22 | |
Investing in the local economy, that's all. | 0:53:22 | 0:53:26 | |
Are your employees union people? | 0:53:26 | 0:53:28 | |
No, they certainly are not. | 0:53:28 | 0:53:31 | |
-You own half of a security service, don't you? -I certainly do! | 0:53:31 | 0:53:35 | |
And your partner is a Teamster steward over in Lafayette. | 0:53:35 | 0:53:39 | |
I think you're involved in some strange contradictions, Mr LeMoyne. | 0:53:39 | 0:53:43 | |
You'll have to excuse me, Detective. I've got to lock up now. | 0:53:43 | 0:53:47 | |
I have a lot of people I take care of, you know? | 0:53:47 | 0:53:50 | |
Would you like to have Julie Balboni for a neighbour? | 0:53:51 | 0:53:54 | |
Would you like to have your granddaughter working for him? | 0:53:54 | 0:53:58 | |
Mr Robicheaux, I can't express to you how offensive you are. | 0:53:58 | 0:54:03 | |
Did you get that blonde-haired girl to lick your leg the other night? | 0:54:03 | 0:54:07 | |
There's my business card. Thank you for your time. | 0:54:08 | 0:54:11 | |
Here you go, Dave. Still 1965, July, September, November. | 0:54:28 | 0:54:32 | |
-Thank you, chere. -You're welcome. | 0:54:32 | 0:54:34 | |
-How's Alafair? -Bien bonne. -Great. | 0:54:34 | 0:54:37 | |
A nigger, you say? | 0:54:49 | 0:54:51 | |
DeWitt Prejean. Black man, name of DeWitt Prejean. | 0:54:51 | 0:54:55 | |
Yeah, I know that son of a bitch. What about him? | 0:54:57 | 0:55:00 | |
Were you on duty the night somebody broke him out of jail? | 0:55:02 | 0:55:05 | |
I... I was the jailer. | 0:55:06 | 0:55:08 | |
Jailers don't work nights. They hire a man for that. | 0:55:08 | 0:55:11 | |
Do you remember what he was charged with? | 0:55:13 | 0:55:15 | |
He wasn't charged with nothin'. | 0:55:15 | 0:55:18 | |
Never got to that. They busted him out of the tank. | 0:55:18 | 0:55:20 | |
Not according to the newspaper. | 0:55:20 | 0:55:22 | |
Lot of people wipe their asses with newspaper. | 0:55:22 | 0:55:26 | |
Newspaper said he broke into a white woman's house with a butcher knife. | 0:55:26 | 0:55:30 | |
Was DeWitt Prejean a rapist? | 0:55:30 | 0:55:31 | |
He couldn't keep his prick in his pants, if that's what you mean. | 0:55:35 | 0:55:38 | |
Is it all right if I sit down here? | 0:55:38 | 0:55:41 | |
You think her husband broke him out of jail? | 0:55:53 | 0:55:55 | |
He might have if he could have. | 0:55:57 | 0:55:59 | |
He was a crippled man. Got shot up in a war. | 0:55:59 | 0:56:02 | |
Where's he at now? | 0:56:02 | 0:56:04 | |
In the cemetery out by the tracks, east of town. | 0:56:05 | 0:56:08 | |
What about the woman? | 0:56:12 | 0:56:13 | |
She moved away, up north somewhere. Er... | 0:56:15 | 0:56:17 | |
W... What's your interest in this 40-year-old nigger trouble? | 0:56:20 | 0:56:23 | |
I think I saw him killed. | 0:56:23 | 0:56:26 | |
Where's the man who was on duty the night of the jailbreak? | 0:56:26 | 0:56:28 | |
Oh, he... He got drunk, you know, got his self run over by a train. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:35 | |
Wait a minute. | 0:56:37 | 0:56:39 | |
What'd you say? You saw what? | 0:56:39 | 0:56:42 | |
What you think I saw, Mr Hebert? | 0:56:44 | 0:56:47 | |
I really need your help, Dave. I really need help. | 0:57:01 | 0:57:05 | |
Go ahead. You go ahead and drown yourself, man. I don't care. | 0:57:05 | 0:57:09 | |
Dave, I planned this all week. | 0:57:09 | 0:57:12 | |
The guy already charged me for the boat, man. | 0:57:12 | 0:57:15 | |
-Elrod... -It's going to rain like hell. | 0:57:15 | 0:57:17 | |
Why don't you wait until it quits, and you can go fishing | 0:57:17 | 0:57:19 | |
for black bass and perch and bream out here in the bayou. | 0:57:19 | 0:57:23 | |
-When did you last catch freshwater fish after it rained? -Suit yourself. | 0:57:23 | 0:57:26 | |

Don't worry about him. That water's not very deep. | 1:01:05 | 1:01:07 | |

Tell you what, I'll make you a deal. First time he takes a drink, | 1:13:45 | 1:13:49 | |
he gets 86ed right straight back to his movie star trailer house. | 1:13:49 | 1:13:53 | |

OK. But only for a few days. | 1:13:59 | 1:14:01 | |
I can't stand that bullshit about his visions any longer than that. | 1:14:01 | 1:14:05 | |
Do you ever carry anything but a .45? | 1:14:18 | 1:14:21 | |
No, same .45 I brought back from Vietnam. | 1:14:21 | 1:14:23 | |
Well, from the size of the wound and the impact of the round, | 1:14:23 | 1:14:27 | |
I'd say a .45 killed her. | 1:14:27 | 1:14:29 | |
How many people know you only use that caliber? | 1:14:29 | 1:14:32 | |
Not many, mostly cops. | 1:14:32 | 1:14:33 | |
Well, that part would worry me, if I was you. | 1:14:33 | 1:14:36 | |

I was in the Mekong. | 1:17:08 | 1:17:10 | |
There was a family of people that got caught out in the rice field. | 1:17:10 | 1:17:14 | |
When we buried them their faces were burned off. | 1:17:14 | 1:17:18 | |
They all looked alike. | 1:17:18 | 1:17:20 | |
Then you know it's the innocent | 1:17:20 | 1:17:22 | |
about whom we need to be most concerned. | 1:17:22 | 1:17:26 | |
Hey. | 1:17:32 | 1:17:34 | |
We just going to leave him here? | 1:17:35 | 1:17:37 | |
He don't look good. | 1:17:37 | 1:17:39 | |
Leave him alone. He's got diarrhoea of the mouth - | 1:17:39 | 1:17:42 | |
maybe he learned a lesson. | 1:17:42 | 1:17:43 | |
That don't mean we can't drop off the guy at the hospital. It ain't right. | 1:17:43 | 1:17:46 | |

Isn't that what you're always saying? | 1:17:55 | 1:17:57 | |
It was a starter pistol. | 1:18:37 | 1:18:39 | |
We found traces of paper wadding in the upholstery, | 1:18:39 | 1:18:42 | |
the kind they use to seal blank cartidges in a starter pistol. | 1:18:42 | 1:18:46 | |

gave somebody a lot of control over her life. | 1:19:00 | 1:19:03 | |
Now, what if a probation or a parole officer | 1:19:03 | 1:19:07 | |
had her selling out of her pants? | 1:19:07 | 1:19:10 | |
You saw the second victim. This guy wasn't born, he come out a furnace. | 1:19:10 | 1:19:14 | |
Just the same, I'm going to find out for you | 1:19:14 | 1:19:17 | |
if her PO or social worker's still around. | 1:19:17 | 1:19:19 | |
Why don't you give it up, Lou? | 1:19:28 | 1:19:29 | |
She gon' spend the night. | 1:19:30 | 1:19:32 | |

-It's just a job, honey. -Really? | 1:20:03 | 1:20:06 | |
Yeah. It's like Dave. You think he enjoys enforcing the law, | 1:20:06 | 1:20:12 | |
catching the bad guys, making the good people feel safe? | 1:20:12 | 1:20:14 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah, well... | 1:20:14 | 1:20:16 | |
I like my job. | 1:20:18 | 1:20:20 | |
But you don't catch bad guys. | 1:20:20 | 1:20:23 | |
No, I don't. | 1:20:23 | 1:20:24 | |
But I guess people need to laugh and cry at the movies | 1:20:24 | 1:20:28 | |
just as much as they need to feel safe. | 1:20:28 | 1:20:30 | |
I'd rather be safe. | 1:20:30 | 1:20:33 | |
Well, I'd rather you be safe. | 1:20:33 | 1:20:35 | |

'It was a call from the sheriff of St Martin Parish. | 1:21:24 | 1:21:27 | |
'Lou Girard had killed himself with a dog-leg .20 gauge | 1:21:27 | 1:21:30 | |
'in the seedy motel where he was living alone | 1:21:30 | 1:21:33 | |
'after his wife left him. | 1:21:33 | 1:21:35 | |
'I was hoping he had found peace among the dead palm trees.' | 1:21:35 | 1:21:39 | |
There's a half empty bottle of Bourbon here on the dresser, | 1:21:48 | 1:21:51 | |
spilled bottle of Diazepam there on the coffee table. | 1:21:51 | 1:21:55 | |
You're writing that off as a suicide? | 1:21:57 | 1:21:59 | |
Well, that's the way it looks to me. | 1:21:59 | 1:22:01 | |
He was in bad shape. | 1:22:02 | 1:22:04 | |
Mattress is covered in piss stains. The sink is full of raw garbage. | 1:22:04 | 1:22:08 | |
-Where's the gun at? -By the bedside. | 1:22:08 | 1:22:11 | |
If Lou wanted to kill his self, how come he didn't use that .357? | 1:22:11 | 1:22:16 | |
Cos he was drunk on his ass? | 1:22:16 | 1:22:19 | |
Not an unusual condition for him. | 1:22:19 | 1:22:21 | |
He was helping me on a case, Doobie. | 1:22:21 | 1:22:23 | |
-And? -Maybe he found out something somebody did not want him to know. | 1:22:24 | 1:22:28 | |
He was trembling, eatin' pills every morning, | 1:22:31 | 1:22:34 | |
in front of everybody. There's no big mystery to what happened here. | 1:22:34 | 1:22:39 | |
He was a good cop. | 1:22:39 | 1:22:41 | |
He was a sorry-ass drunk. | 1:22:42 | 1:22:44 | |

In fact, I'd appreciate you staying as far away from me as you can get. | 1:22:55 | 1:22:59 | |
-Why you leaving? -It's my foolishness, son. | 1:24:16 | 1:24:19 | |
Like you, I grieve over what I can't change. | 1:24:19 | 1:24:22 | |

What does it matter, as long as you stay true to your principles? | 1:25:06 | 1:25:09 | |

and paid for her medicine up at the store when she was sick. | 1:26:02 | 1:26:07 | |
You got something to say to me, Sam? | 1:26:07 | 1:26:10 | |
-What was the name of that nigger you dug up? -DeWitt Prejean. | 1:26:12 | 1:26:16 | |
He was fuckin' a white man's wife. Ask what he doing for a living, | 1:26:17 | 1:26:21 | |
and you'll find the people been causing you all of this grief. | 1:26:21 | 1:26:25 | |

I said all I can say. This still the state of Louisiana. | 1:26:29 | 1:26:34 | |
I'm in the movie with Elrod! | 1:26:34 | 1:26:36 | |
We're walking down a road with plantation burning behind us | 1:26:36 | 1:26:40 | |
-and the... -She's a natural. | 1:26:40 | 1:26:42 | |
I'm not kidding. | 1:26:42 | 1:26:44 | |
Mickey said the same thing. | 1:26:44 | 1:26:46 | |
Hey, some great work this morning. | 1:26:46 | 1:26:48 | |
QUIETLY: I've been talking to that general. | 1:26:50 | 1:26:53 | |
Why you keep botherin' me? | 1:27:04 | 1:27:06 | |
I need to know what kind of work DeWitt Prejean did. | 1:27:06 | 1:27:09 | |
He done nigger work. You know, he cut lawns, | 1:27:09 | 1:27:12 | |
cleaned out grease traps, got dead rats out from under people's houses. | 1:27:12 | 1:27:16 | |
-What the fuck you think he did? -Don't sound right to me. | 1:27:16 | 1:27:20 | |
I think he did some other kind of work, too. | 1:27:20 | 1:27:23 | |
You leave me alone. | 1:27:23 | 1:27:25 | |
You're a good judge of character. | 1:27:25 | 1:27:27 | |
Do I look like somebody that's going to go away? | 1:27:27 | 1:27:30 | |
-Hmm? -It was better back then. You know it was. | 1:27:32 | 1:27:37 | |
What kind of work he do, Ben? | 1:27:37 | 1:27:40 | |
-Drove a truck. -Who for? | 1:27:40 | 1:27:42 | |
It was over in Jeanerette. | 1:27:44 | 1:27:46 | |
I brung her out here cos she works for me, | 1:27:49 | 1:27:53 | |
cos I can't get in and out of the car good by myself. | 1:27:53 | 1:27:56 | |
He worked seasonal for a white man, owned some big sugar mill. | 1:28:01 | 1:28:05 | |
I don't know nothing about him except... | 1:28:05 | 1:28:08 | |
he was a brother of that crippled fella. | 1:28:08 | 1:28:11 | |
That's all I know and nothing more. | 1:28:11 | 1:28:13 | |
You saying I do, then you're a goddamn liar. | 1:28:13 | 1:28:16 | |
Something else you want to say? | 1:28:17 | 1:28:19 | |

-Where you headed, Cholo? -Thought I might go to Florida, | 1:28:53 | 1:28:59 | |
maybe open a business like you got here. | 1:28:59 | 1:29:01 | |
What you doing with all that lawn furniture in the back end of your pick-up? | 1:29:01 | 1:29:05 | |
Oh, erm... guy at the Holiday Inn wanted me to take it | 1:29:05 | 1:29:10 | |
when I checked out. Said, er,... | 1:29:10 | 1:29:12 | |
I'd kind of be doing him a favour, you know... | 1:29:12 | 1:29:16 | |
-giving him a write-off. -Uh-huh. | 1:29:16 | 1:29:19 | |
You had some trouble with Baby Feet. | 1:29:19 | 1:29:21 | |
Yeah. | 1:29:22 | 1:29:24 | |
I told him he was a douchebag and I wouldn't work for him again. | 1:29:28 | 1:29:32 | |
That Cherry LeBlanc girl was right when she called him a needle-dick. | 1:29:32 | 1:29:35 | |
That's when the son of a bitch... | 1:29:35 | 1:29:38 | |
Wait, wait, wait. What's this about Cherry LeBlanc? | 1:29:38 | 1:29:42 | |

Julie forgot he told me to take some pictures in Biloxi last year. | 1:29:55 | 1:29:59 | |
Is that her or not? | 1:30:00 | 1:30:01 | |
Did Baby Feets kill this girl? | 1:30:07 | 1:30:09 | |

He says something to somebody, then he forgets it. | 1:30:16 | 1:30:19 | |
If it's a special kind of job, maybe somebody calls up a geek. | 1:30:19 | 1:30:23 | |

Who busted her on the prostitution charge? | 1:30:42 | 1:30:44 | |
-There wouldn't be one officer. No, it was a state police raid on a bar... -Who sent the arrest report? | 1:30:44 | 1:30:49 | |

Some Mexican pulled this on me in Lake Charles. | 1:31:23 | 1:31:26 | |

I wasn't. I was working highway for the state police. | 1:31:30 | 1:31:35 | |

He's got a camp out by Bayou Vista, almost at Atchafalaya Basin. | 1:39:00 | 1:39:05 | |
The deed's not in his name. Nobody knows about it. | 1:39:06 | 1:39:09 | |
It's at the end of the dirt road, by the salt marsh. | 1:39:10 | 1:39:14 | |
(COUGHS) | 1:39:14 | 1:39:16 | |
Alafair there? | 1:39:16 | 1:39:18 | |
I hope to God she's not. | 1:39:19 | 1:39:21 | |
If we find the wrong thing, | 1:40:03 | 1:40:05 | |
if Alafair's not OK, it's not because of anything you did. | 1:40:05 | 1:40:09 | |
Thank you. | 1:40:11 | 1:40:12 | |

Alfie! | 1:42:51 | 1:42:53 | |
Come here. Did he hurt you, baby? | 1:43:00 | 1:43:03 | |
I told him he'd better not. | 1:43:03 | 1:43:04 | |
I just shot a man armed with a rolled-up magazine. | 1:43:07 | 1:43:10 | |
No, no. He had a gun on him. You just don't remember it yet. | 1:43:10 | 1:43:15 | |
Are you OK? | 1:43:18 | 1:43:20 | |

Should I call my lawyer? | 1:43:56 | 1:43:58 | |
Mr LeMoyne, | 1:43:59 | 1:44:02 | |
I saw you and Murphy Doucet... | 1:44:02 | 1:44:05 | |
..kill DeWitt Prejean out on the Atchafalaya. | 1:44:06 | 1:44:10 | |
I watched it from across the swamp. | 1:44:11 | 1:44:13 | |
(SIGHS) Am I under arrest? | 1:44:15 | 1:44:18 | |
I think Doucet's been blackmailing you with it all these years. | 1:44:18 | 1:44:22 | |
A lot of bad things happened back in that era between the races. | 1:44:23 | 1:44:27 | |
But we're not the same people we were then, are we? | 1:44:27 | 1:44:32 | |
I think we are. | 1:44:32 | 1:44:35 | |
You seem unable to let the past rest. | 1:44:35 | 1:44:40 | |
It's been my experience that you let go of the past by addressing it. | 1:44:40 | 1:44:44 | |
-Please, leave. -It won't make any difference if I leave. | 1:44:45 | 1:44:49 | |
You're gonna drag this one around with you all day long every day, | 1:44:49 | 1:44:53 | |
like a log chain, for the rest of your life. | 1:44:53 | 1:44:57 | |
Have you no mercy, sir? | 1:44:59 | 1:45:01 | |
No, sir. | 1:45:01 | 1:45:03 | |
No, sir, I don't. | 1:45:05 | 1:45:08 | |

'Outside, the evening air smelled of wet trees | 1:45:20 | 1:45:23 | |
'and night blooming flowers. | 1:45:23 | 1:45:24 | |
'I saw a figure standing by a stagnant reed-choked pond. | 1:45:26 | 1:45:29 | |
'He held himself erect in the wind with his single crutch. | 1:45:30 | 1:45:33 | |
'His words in distant thunder. | 1:45:34 | 1:45:37 | |
'I thought in the morning mists that curled around the Bayou | 1:45:38 | 1:45:41 | |
'I might again see General John Bell Hood, | 1:45:41 | 1:45:44 | |
'just a glimpse, perhaps, a doff of his hat, | 1:45:44 | 1:45:47 | |
'the kindness of his smile, | 1:45:47 | 1:45:48 | |
'the beleaguered affection that always seemed to linger in his face. | 1:45:48 | 1:45:53 | |
'Then, as the days passed, and I began to let go | 1:46:03 | 1:46:05 | |
of all that summer's violent events, | 1:46:05 | 1:46:07 | |
I came to accept that the General, as Bootsie had said, | 1:46:07 | 1:46:11 | |
was only a figment of my imagination, | 1:46:11 | 1:46:13 | |
there to remind me out of the distant past | 1:46:13 | 1:46:16 | |
that the contest is never quite over, | 1:46:16 | 1:46:19 | |
the field never quite ours.' | 1:46:19 | 1:46:23 |
