105. All right. I'll check on this wise city boy
from Philadelphia.Copy !req
106. - You'll take him outside and hold him.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
107. May I suggest that you call my chief
rather than send a wire or anything.Copy !req
108. I mean, it would be quicker.Copy !req
109. And I'll pay for the call.Copy !req
110. Did you hear him?
Did you hear him say he'd pay for the call?Copy !req
111. How much do they pay you
to do their police work?Copy !req
112. $162.39 per week.Copy !req
113. $162.39 a week.Copy !req
114. Well, boy!Copy !req
115. You take him outside, Wood,
but treat him easy.Copy !req
116. Because a man that makes $162.39 a week,Copy !req
117. man, we do not want to ruffle him!Copy !req
118. No, sir.Copy !req
119. Courtney.Copy !req
120. Would you try and get me long distance?Copy !req
121. Police business, honey.
Chief's on the line.Copy !req
122. Oh, no, sirree, boy. He catch you listenin'
in, he'll run your butt around the block.Copy !req
123. - He don't panic me none.

Everything will be taken care of.Copy !req

140. I got your chief on the phone.
He wants to talk to you.Copy !req
141. Hello. Yes, sir.Copy !req
142. I'm sorry to have gotten you involved
in this. I really had no choice.Copy !req
143. Mm-hmm. Yes, sir.Copy !req
144. Oh, you can't be serious, sir.Copy !req
145. I mean, even if I could be of some help,
they wouldn't want it.Copy !req
146. No, sir, I-I'm not prejudiced.Copy !req
147. Yes, sir, I-I'm a police officer
and they're police officers, but —Copy !req
148. Hello, this is Gillespie.Copy !req
149. Yes, sir, yes. Well, I —Copy !req
150. You don't say.Copy !req
151. He's your number one homicide expert.Copy !req
152. Well, my, my, my.Copy !req
153. Well, I don't think we need any help though.
I think we can wrap this thing up ourselves.Copy !req
154. Yes, sir, but I do wanna thank youCopy !req
155. for offerin' me such a powerful
piece of manpower as Virgil Tibbs.Copy !req
156. Yes, sir. Thank you.Copy !req
157. Yeah. Good-bye now.Copy !req
158. Oh, it's all there.
We paid for the phone call ourselves.Copy !req
159. Well, now, you are the —
you are the number one homicide expert.Copy !req
160. That's right.Copy !req
161. Boy, I bet you get to look
at a lot of dead bodies, don't you?Copy !req
162. Lots.Copy !req
163. Well...Copy !req
164. "Well" what?Copy !req
165. Well, I — No, I just thought maybe, uh —Copy !req
166. maybe you wouldn't mind
takin' a look at this one.Copy !req
167. No, thanks.Copy !req
168. - Well, why not, expert?
- Because I've got a train to catch.Copy !req
169. Now, wait a minute. That train
don't leave till 12 o'clock noon!Copy !req
170. Look, they pay you $162.39 a week
just to look at bodies.Copy !req
171. - Why can't you look at this one?
- Why can't you look at it for yourself?Copy !req
172. Because I'm not an expert...Copy !req
173. Officer.Copy !req
174. Ten cents, ten million dollars.Copy !req
175. Just doesn't matter
when a man's time comes.Copy !req
176. You know, I could give him
a nicer service right here in SpartaCopy !req
177. than he could ever get
up there in Chicago.Copy !req
178. And at half the price too.Copy !req
179. I got a rosewood casket out there —Copy !req
180. Ted Ulam, Chief.
We haven't had the pleasure.Copy !req
181. That's for sure.Copy !req
182. He's with me.Copy !req
183. Hello, Doc.Copy !req
184. Yep.Copy !req
185. Well...Copy !req
186. you wanna look at it?Copy !req
187. New manicure. That's good.Copy !req
188. That's very good.Copy !req
189. - I'll need a few things.
- Such as?Copy !req
190. Ammonium hydrosulfide,Copy !req
191. benzedine, superoxide of hydrogen...Copy !req
192. copper powder, distilled water...Copy !req
193. a six-inch celluloid scale...Copy !req
194. a thermometer...Copy !req
195. some tweezers...Copy !req
196. calipers...Copy !req
197. and some toothpicks.Copy !req
198. Toothpicks? Copper?
What's goin' on here, Chief?Copy !req
199. Who is this boy anyway?Copy !req
200. I asked him to look at the body.
That's who he is.Copy !req
201. It's 4:45. What time was this man killed?Copy !req
202. Well, Sam Wood found him on the street
about 3:00 a.m.Copy !req
203. The doctor here says it's possible
he was killed an hour earlier.Copy !req
204. At 2:00?Copy !req
205. Maybe a little later —Copy !req
206. 2:15, 2:30.Copy !req
207. Would you feel the face and jaw, please?Copy !req
208. Am I mistaken, or has rigor begun?Copy !req
209. It has.Copy !req
210. You'll notice, too, that postmortem lividity
is present here in the lower portions.Copy !req
211. So the time of death really has
to be earlier, wouldn't you say?Copy !req
212. Well, we'll be able to pinpoint that
as soon as I get a thermometer.Copy !req
213. As you know,
the loss of heat from the brainCopy !req
214. is the most reliable way
of determining time of death.Copy !req
215. Right, Chief?Copy !req
216. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
217. Well...Copy !req
218. which one of you gentlemen will assist me?Copy !req

222. When?Copy !req
223. Oh, good. Yeah, yeah, right away.Copy !req
224. I've got a runaway suspect.
Boy, I gotta go.Copy !req
225. Now, listen, you. Anything he wants,
man, you better see that he gets it.Copy !req
226. Where can I wash my hands?Copy !req
227. Come on! Come on, get up here!Copy !req
228. He can't run! There you go!Copy !req
229. Come on now, dogs! Go!Copy !req
230. This here is Shagbag, you hear?Copy !req
231. He's headed for the river.Copy !req
232. The river, you hear?
He's gonna be in Arkansas.Copy !req
233. Oh, shoot.Copy !req
234. Go! Go!Copy !req
235. Okay. I got him.Copy !req
236. Mrs. Colbert.Copy !req
237. How is she taking it?Copy !req
238. Chief had to leave 'fore she got here.
She don't even know it yet.Copy !req
239. Hey, you can't go in there, boy!Copy !req
240. Mrs. Colbert?Copy !req
241. Where's my husband?Copy !req
242. What's happened to him?Copy !req
243. Why won't anybody here
tell me what's happened to him?Copy !req
244. Why won't anybody here tell me
what's happened to him?Copy !req
245. I have a right to know if he's hurt,
if he's been in an accident.Copy !req
246. I want to know if my husband is all right.Copy !req
247. Your husband is dead, Mrs. Colbert.Copy !req
248. Somebody killed him.Copy !req
249. We don't know who yet.Copy !req
250. No.Copy !req
251. It's —Copy !req
252. It's very hot in here.Copy !req
253. It's very hot in this room.Copy !req
254. Sit down.Copy !req
255. No.Copy !req
256. Would you —Copy !req
257. Would you...Copy !req
258. leave me alone for a few minutes, please?Copy !req
259. Well, Virgil, we don't need you
or your microscopes anymore.Copy !req
260. You can tell that to your chief.
We don't need him or you.Copy !req
261. - For the last time —
- Mrs. Colbert's in there.Copy !req
262. - I've already told her.
- I see.Copy !req
263. Here's the examination results from Ulam's.Copy !req
264. - Do you wanna know what I found?
- No. I don't need to look at 'em now.Copy !req
265. May I examine this prisoner?Copy !req
266. Yeah, you can look at him.
Come on, let him look. Go on.Copy !req
267. All right now, steady!Copy !req
268. You finished?Copy !req
269. Thank you.Copy !req
270. All right, Fryer, bring him with me.Copy !req
271. Come on, Harvey.Copy !req
272. - Now we grindin' corn!
- Hey, Court, you shoulda been there!Copy !req
273. If it hadn't been for them ol' radios, we sure
would've lost him goin' over that bridge.Copy !req
274. Yeah!Copy !req
275. That ol' boy highballin' that freight train
like to cut us off.Copy !req
276. Yeah, and ol' Charlie's hound dog
got loose about right that time —Copy !req
277. - Did he confess?
- Huh?Copy !req
278. The man you arrested. Did he confess?Copy !req
279. Well, I believe he will.Copy !req
280. Yes, sirree, I believe he will.Copy !req
281. I believe he will.Copy !req
282. - He's left-handed, isn't he?
- How would I know?Copy !req
283. Well, he seemed left-handed to me.Copy !req
284. - Uh-huh.
- I believe Harvey is a southpaw.Copy !req
285. Now, ain't he, Shagbag?Copy !req
286. What if he is? What's that make him?Copy !req
287. Innocent.Copy !req
288. Mrs. Colbert.Copy !req
289. There's just one more thing.Copy !req
290. Yeah.Copy !req
291. I picked it up, I tell ya.
He was already lyin' there.Copy !req
292. It was lyin' there next to him.Copy !req
293. I just picked it up, ma'am.Copy !req
294. - That's all I did.
- Shut up.Copy !req
295. - Get him outta here.
- Okay, come on, Harvey. Let's go.Copy !req
296. Mrs. Colbert, I, uh —Copy !req
297. I wonder if you'd mind if I'd have somebody
drive you over so you could, uh...Copy !req
298. complete the identification.Copy !req
299. Martin.Copy !req
300. I want you to take Mrs. Colbert
over to the funeral parlor.Copy !req
301. And, Wood, you run Virgil down the depot.Copy !req
302. Uh, Virg here, Chief,
he thinks that Harvey's innocent.Copy !req
303. Well, I'll be damned.Copy !req
304. Could I talk to you about it in private?Copy !req
305. No, you can't talk to
me about it in private.Copy !req
306. I got Colbert's wallet right here in my
hand and we took it from Harvey Oberst.Copy !req
307. - You don't think he gave it to him, do ya?
- I don't know.Copy !req
308. But Oberst could've come along
after the crime, found it, picked it up.Copy !req
309. I don't know.Copy !req
310. That's what the boy said he did.Copy !req
311. Well, I'm sorry, ma'am,
but I say different.Copy !req
312. Well, when I examined the deceased,
it was obvious that the fatal blowCopy !req
313. was struck from an angle of 17 degrees
from the right,Copy !req
314. which makes it almost certain
the person who did it is right-handed.Copy !req
315. So what?Copy !req
316. Ol' Harv's left-handed, Chief.
Everybody in town knows that.Copy !req
317. Yeah, th-that's what we figured out, Chief.
Harvey's a lefty. Uh-huh.Copy !req
318. Well, you're pretty sure of yourself,
ain't ya, Virgil?Copy !req
319. Virgil, that's a funny name for a
nigger boy that comes from Philadelphia.Copy !req
320. What do they call you up there?Copy !req
321. They call me Mr. Tibbs.Copy !req
322. Mr. Tibbs!Copy !req
323. Well, Mr. Wood, take Mr. Tibbs,Copy !req
324. take him down to the depot,
and I mean, boy, like now!Copy !req
325. I'll have the FBI lab
send you the reports on this.Copy !req
326. Not that it'll make any difference.Copy !req
327. - I'll take that!
- No.Copy !req
328. No, you won't.Copy !req
329. I'm sending it in personally.Copy !req
330. My God.Copy !req
331. What kind of people are you?Copy !req
332. What kind of a place is this?Copy !req
333. My husband is dead.Copy !req
334. Somebody in this town killed him!Copy !req
335. I want you to find out who!Copy !req
336. You gonna give me that?Copy !req
337. No, I'm not.Copy !req
338. Wood, you take him...Copy !req
339. and you lock him up
for withholding evidence.Copy !req
340. Go on! Move!
Put him with his friend, Harvey Oberst.Copy !req
341. Well, Virgil, nobody threw your brains
to the hogs, that's for damn sure.Copy !req
342. Hold on there, Arnold. Open 'er up again.Copy !req
343. We got another customer.Copy !req
344. - Hey, man, not in here.
- That's all right.Copy !req
345. - Put him somewheres else!
- Don't push the panic button, Harvey.Copy !req
346. - You hear me? How come in here?
- Play it cool, boy.Copy !req
347. I thought that guy's
supposed to be a policeman.Copy !req
348. What you doin'
wearin' white man's clothes?Copy !req
349. Where you come from?Copy !req
350. You deaf or somethin'?Copy !req
351. Listen, I'm gettin' —Copy !req
352. Keep cool, Harvey.Copy !req
353. I'm on your side.Copy !req
354. Well, I don't need you!Copy !req
355. I'm all you've got.Copy !req
356. Police?Copy !req
357. You a cop?Copy !req
358. - You're a cop.
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
359. Yeah?Copy !req
360. So how come they locked you up?
How come they'd go lock up a cop?Copy !req
361. Who said they locked me up?Copy !req
362. How come with all these empty cells back
here, they'd throw me in with you? You dig?Copy !req
363. Look.Copy !req
364. I already told 'em.Copy !req
365. I see this fella lyin'
on the street there...Copy !req
366. and there's this wallet lyin' beside him.Copy !req
367. Boy, I mean,
I come into this world out of luck.Copy !req
368. Here's the first good thing
to come my way, and I pick it up.Copy !req
369. But when I see whose wallet it is...Copy !req
370. I mean, I start to sweat.Copy !req
371. But I heard about this new chief,
this "Gillepsbie,"Copy !req
372. got no more smile than a turnip.Copy !req
373. So I cut across the fields,
headin' for the line,Copy !req
374. and I got myself as far as the bridge
before "Gillepsbie" grabbed me.Copy !req
375. What time did you find the wallet?Copy !req
376. Well, I ain't got no watch, but...Copy !req
377. must've been after 2:00
by the courthouse clock.Copy !req
378. I'm interested in 11:00 to 2:00.
Where were you?Copy !req
379. Shootin' pool at Larry's Lounge.Copy !req
380. I got there about 10:00.Copy !req
381. - What time'd you leave?
- Not till closin'. Must've been 1:00.Copy !req
382. Anybody can swear for ya?Copy !req
383. Packy. Bert. Les.Copy !req
384. You ever been in trouble
with the police before?Copy !req
385. Come on.Copy !req
386. I can ask at the desk, you know.Copy !req
387. Well, they brought me in one time...Copy !req
388. on account of this Delores Purdy.Copy !req
389. On what charge?Copy !req
390. Well, uh, this Delores, see, uh...Copy !req
391. now, she's real proud
of what nature done for her, you know.Copy !req
392. And, uh —Copy !req
393. Well, we was on a date
up to Clarke's Point,Copy !req
394. and, uh...Copy !req
395. she says, uh...Copy !req
396. Anyway, she asks me, she says, uh,Copy !req
397. "Don't you think I got a classy build?"Copy !req
398. And I say, "Sure."
And so she starts to show me.Copy !req
399. But now, I didn't do nothin' wrong.Copy !req
400. I-I just didn't stop her
from tryin' to prove her point.Copy !req
401. Then this cop, Sam Wood,Copy !req
402. comes chargin' out of the bush
and hauls me in.Copy !req
403. He let you go, didn't he?Copy !req
404. He told me not to mess with her no more.Copy !req
405. She lives over on Third,
about a block from me.Copy !req
406. Traipsin' around the house in the altogether.
And after dark, with the lights on.Copy !req
407. Now, somebody sure
oughta make her stop doin' that.Copy !req
408. Come here.Copy !req
409. Let me see your right hand.Copy !req
410. - What you doin'?
- Hold still.Copy !req
411. All right now,
give him the waiver for false arrest.Copy !req
412. Forget it.Copy !req
413. I'm askin' you to sign it... please.Copy !req
414. Give him a pen. Give him a pen.Copy !req
415. All right, let him out.Copy !req
416. You'll be able to catch the 12:10 train.Copy !req
417. I don't think it would be a bad idea
to change the charge against Harvey Oberst.Copy !req
418. He was nowhere near the scene of the crime,
and I think he can prove it.Copy !req
419. Bet you could tell me the exact time
Colbert was killed too, can't ya?Copy !req
420. About 12:30,
while Harvey was still shooting pool.Copy !req
421. Now, wait a minute.
Wait a minute. I'll get it.Copy !req
422. There's cue chalk under his nails,
not dried blood.Copy !req
423. - Thank the Lord I don't live in Philadelphia.
- One more thing.Copy !req
424. Colbert wasn't killed
where the body was found.Copy !req
425. What do you mean?Copy !req
426. He was killed somewhere else,
then moved to Main Street.Copy !req
427. - Courtney.
- Yes, sir?Copy !req
428. Change the charge to theft.Copy !req
429. Do you mean Harv?Copy !req
430. Well, who the hell else
do we have back there?Copy !req
431. Yes, sir.Copy !req
432. Didn't I ask you to fix that gate?Copy !req
433. No, not me, sir.Copy !req
434. Must've been my brother, Harold.
He's on days.Copy !req
435. Harold.Copy !req
436. Police Department.Copy !req
437. Yes, he's here. Hold on, sir.Copy !req
438. Mayor's on the line, Chief.Copy !req
439. Now, Chief, what's all this
Miss Colbert's been tellin' meCopy !req
440. about a-a cover-up arrest?Copy !req
441. No, ma'am, we ain't had no cover-up.Copy !req
442. In fact, we just dropped the charges
for insufficient evidence.Copy !req
443. Miss Colbert,
I told you he was nobody's man.Copy !req
444. I came by to make it
as clear as I possibly canCopy !req
445. that I do not want that Negro officer
taken off this case.Copy !req
446. Negro officer?Copy !req
447. Yeah, well, he, uh —Copy !req
448. he comes from up North, you see,
and he was, uh, kinda...Copy !req
449. passin' through.Copy !req
450. I don't care what he is.Copy !req
451. If it wasn't for him,
your impartial chief of policeCopy !req
452. would still have
the wrong man behind bars.Copy !req
453. I want that officer given a free hand.Copy !req
454. Otherwise...Copy !req
455. I will pack up my husband's engineers...Copy !req
456. and leave you...Copy !req
457. to yourselves.Copy !req
458. Now, Mrs. Colbert,
now, don't you worry about a thing.Copy !req
459. Believe me, we're gonna
take care of everything.Copy !req
460. Bill.Copy !req
461. I wanna see you come through this now.
You hear?Copy !req
462. Even if we have to
step on Endicott's toes?Copy !req
463. Even that.Copy !req
464. But do it fast.Copy !req
465. All right.Copy !req
466. Now, Bill, uh,
how 'bout this here Negro officer?Copy !req
467. Miss Colbert seems to have
a lot of confidence in him.Copy !req
468. Oh, he ain't nothin'.
He's some kind of a —Copy !req
469. some kind of a homicide expert.Copy !req
470. But I don't need him.Copy !req
471. You mean you don't want him.Copy !req
472. But you do need him.Copy !req
473. Now look, Bill.Copy !req
474. Suppose he turns up the killer.Copy !req
475. He has no police powers here.Copy !req
476. He's gonna have to hand him over
on a platter, right?Copy !req
477. That's right.Copy !req
478. And if he fails, you're off the hook,Copy !req
479. 'cause it was Miss Colbert's idea
in the first place.Copy !req
480. See what I mean?Copy !req
481. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
482. Works out all the way around, Bill,
for all of us.Copy !req
483. Excuse me.Copy !req
484. Any reason why you have to leave today?Copy !req
485. There's lots of reasons.Copy !req
486. Uh, what would you say if I, uh —
I asked you to stay for a while?Copy !req
487. No.Copy !req
488. This town needs a factory, Virgil.Copy !req
489. Colbert come down from Chicago to build it.Copy !req
490. I hear they're gonna hire a thousand men.Copy !req
491. Half of 'em would be colored.Copy !req
492. You know what that means?Copy !req
493. - Probably got him killed.
- That's what Mrs. Colbert thinks.Copy !req
494. She wants us to catch her a killer.Copy !req
495. No killer, no factory.Copy !req
496. Well, that's a lot of jobs
for a lot of colored people.Copy !req
497. You follow me?Copy !req
498. I'm going home, man.Copy !req
499. - They're your people.
- Not mine! Yours!Copy !req
500. You made this scene.Copy !req
501. What do you want me to do? Beg you?
Is that what you're after?Copy !req
502. Look, I've had your town up to here!Copy !req
503. Boy, it would give me a world of
satisfaction to horsewhip you, Virgil!Copy !req
504. Yeah, well —Copy !req
505. my father used to say that.Copy !req
506. - Even did it once or twice.
- Yeah, well, not enough to suit me.Copy !req
507. Now, you listen to me.Copy !req
508. Just once in my life
I'm gonna hold my temper.Copy !req
509. I'm tellin' you that
you're gonna stay here.Copy !req
510. You're gonna stay here if I have to go
inside and call your chief of policeCopy !req
511. and have him remind you
of what he told you to do.Copy !req
512. But I don't think I have to do
that, you see.Copy !req
513. No, because you're so damned smart —
you're smarter than any white man —Copy !req
514. you're just gonna stay here
and show us all.Copy !req
515. You've got such a big head
that you could never live with yourselfCopy !req
516. unless you could put us all to shame.Copy !req
517. You wanna know something, Virgil?Copy !req
518. I don't think that you could let
an opportunity like that pass by.Copy !req
519. Jess.Copy !req
520. Jess, this is, uh —Copy !req
521. This is Virgil. He's workin' for me.Copy !req
522. Give him somethin' that runs.
You fix him up, you hear?Copy !req
523. What I fix, runs.Copy !req
524. Who pays?Copy !req
525. Police.Copy !req
526. Well, you know where to find me.Copy !req
527. What you doin' here, man?Copy !req
528. Policeman.Copy !req
529. You're a policeman here in Sparta?Copy !req
530. They've got a murder
they don't know what to do with.Copy !req
531. They need a whipping boy.Copy !req
532. You got a roof?Copy !req
533. No.Copy !req
534. I'll find a motel.Copy !req
535. Viola.Copy !req
536. We got company.Copy !req
537. You know what's gonna happen?Copy !req
538. He gonna get hisself killed.Copy !req
539. You watch and see he don't.Copy !req
540. I'm aware of the risk, Tom,
but like it or not, we're stuck with him.Copy !req
541. Not if the chief here's right on the ball.Copy !req
542. What do you say, Chief?Copy !req
543. You got that ol' killer
all lined up in your front sights, huh?Copy !req
544. I'm workin' on it.Copy !req
545. Tom, climb off of Gillespie's back now.Copy !req
546. You know damn well
we didn't hire him off a homicide squad.Copy !req
547. Yeah, well, it's gonna be his week,Copy !req
548. 'cause Colbert's only the start.Copy !req
549. I say this nigger won't live past Saturday.Copy !req
550. Mrs. Colbert, can you tell me
about your husband's enemies?Copy !req
551. That's Endicott.Copy !req
552. He's been fighting us all the way.Copy !req
553. He sits up on his hill
and runs this county.Copy !req
554. Or did, until we moved in.Copy !req
555. Did your husband tell you
where he was going last night?Copy !req
556. He said he wasn't sleepy.Copy !req
557. I went to bed.Copy !req
558. What time was that?Copy !req
559. A little after 11:00, I think.Copy !req
560. Did he call you,
or anybody on your staff, after 11:00?Copy !req
561. No.Copy !req
562. Maybe the elevator boy can tell us
what time he went out.Copy !req
563. They put it on self-service after 10:00.Copy !req
564. Did your husband use a car here?Copy !req
565. Find anything?Copy !req
566. Whoever killed Colbert
drove his car last night.Copy !req
567. Well, how do you know?Copy !req
568. Well, where are you goin'?Copy !req
569. I'd drive up there in the car you gave me,Copy !req
570. but I'm sure you don't want me running
up there by myself, causing more trouble.Copy !req
571. - Up where?
- Eric Endicott's.Copy !req
572. Endicott's? Oh, come on now!Copy !req
573. None of that for you, huh, Virgil?Copy !req
574. Listen, you know somethin' I don't know?Copy !req
575. I found a piece of osmunda
in Colbert's car.Copy !req
576. - A piece of what?
- On the brake pedal.Copy !req
577. Osmunda. Fern root.Copy !req
578. Fern root?Copy !req
579. Oh, is Mr. Endicott here?Copy !req
580. Yes, sir. He's out in the greenhouse.
Would you follow me, please?Copy !req
581. - Gillespie.
- Mr. Endicott.Copy !req
582. This here's Virgil.Copy !req
583. - Mr. Tibbs.
- How do you do, sir?Copy !req
584. Oh, uh — May I have Henry fetch you
somethin'? Uh, some light refreshment?Copy !req
585. No, thank you.
We're all right the way we are.Copy !req
586. Oh, I'll have something cold.
Something soft. Anything.Copy !req
587. Henry, bring in a pitcher of lemonade.
I'll have one too.Copy !req
588. Yes, sir.Copy !req
589. Oh, I didn't know it was possible
to grow this species locally.Copy !req
590. - Oh, you like flowers?
- I do.Copy !req
591. Well, Mr. Tibbs,
do you know anything about orchids?Copy !req
592. Well, not very much, but I do like them.Copy !req
593. Well, let me show you.Copy !req
594. Endicott's folly.Copy !req
595. - What do you think?
- It's beautiful.Copy !req
596. It's breathtaking.Copy !req
597. Have you a favorite, Mr. Tibbs?Copy !req
598. Well, I'm partial to any of the epiphytics.Copy !req
599. Why, isn't that remarkableCopy !req
600. that of all the orchids in this place,
you should prefer the epiphytics.Copy !req
601. I wonder if you know why.Copy !req
602. Maybe it would be helpful if you'd tell me.Copy !req
603. Because, like the Negro,Copy !req
604. they need care and
feedin' and cultivatin'...Copy !req
605. and that takes time.Copy !req
606. That's something you can't
make some people understand.Copy !req
607. That's somethin' Mr. Colbert
didn't realize.Copy !req
608. Is this what the epiphytics root in?Copy !req
609. My point! They thrive on it.Copy !req
610. Take it away from them, they do poorly.Copy !req
611. What do you call this material?Copy !req
612. That's osmunda. Fern root.Copy !req
613. Well, we don't wanna take any more
of your time, Mr. Endicott.Copy !req
614. Why'd you two come here?Copy !req
615. To ask you about Mr. Colbert.Copy !req
616. Let me understand this.Copy !req
617. You two came here to question me?Copy !req
618. Well, your — your attitudes, Mr. Endicott,Copy !req
619. your points of viewCopy !req
620. are a matter of record.Copy !req
621. Some people —Copy !req
622. Well, let us say the people
who work for Mr. ColbertCopy !req
623. might reasonably regard you as the person
least likely to mourn his passing.Copy !req
624. We were just trying to clarify
some of the evidence.Copy !req
625. Was Mr. Colbert ever in this greenhouse,Copy !req
626. say, last night about midnight?Copy !req
627. Gillespie.Copy !req
628. Yeah?Copy !req
629. You saw it?Copy !req
630. Oh, I saw it.Copy !req
631. Well, what are you gonna do about it?Copy !req
632. I don't know.Copy !req
633. I'll remember that.Copy !req
634. There was a time
when I could have had you shot!Copy !req
635. You better damn well clear out,
and I mean fast!Copy !req
636. What about that big speech
you gave me this morning?Copy !req
637. I didn't know you were gonna slap
any white man, least of all Endicott!Copy !req
638. All right. Give me another day.
Two days. I'm close.Copy !req
639. I can pull that fat cat down.Copy !req
640. I can bring him right off this hill.Copy !req
641. Oh, boy.Copy !req
642. Man, you're just like the rest of
us, ain't ya?Copy !req
643. It's all my fault.Copy !req
644. Well, there's no point in duckin' it, Bill.Copy !req
645. It's gonna be tough
to keep you in your job now.Copy !req
646. Now lookee here, Bill.Copy !req
647. I don't have to tell you how urgent it is
to get Tibbs outta town.Copy !req
648. - I already told him to go.
- All right.Copy !req
649. Now, Mrs. Colbert
is not gonna be back till Thursday.Copy !req
650. You catch your guilty party by then,
she's not gonna hold it against usCopy !req
651. we had to send Tibbs home
for his own good.Copy !req
652. But you gotta do it, you hear?Copy !req
653. I hear.Copy !req
654. Bill?Copy !req
655. What's made you change your mind
about Tibbs?Copy !req
656. Who says I have?Copy !req
657. The last chief we had, he'd have shot Tibbs
one second after he slapped Endicott.Copy !req
658. Claimed self-defense.Copy !req
659. - Gillespie here.
- Courtney here, sir.Copy !req
660. All right, look,
did you take Virgil down the depot?Copy !req
661. No, sir. He just plain wouldn't go.Copy !req
662. Shagbag just saw him heading up
toward River Road.Copy !req
663. Check.Copy !req
664. - Nail him! Come on. Come on.
- One more time.Copy !req
665. Come on!Copy !req
666. Stay with him. Come on. Come on.
Stay with him.Copy !req
667. Okay, black boy.
We come here to teach you some manners.Copy !req
668. Now, we told you
'bout them bad manners, boy.Copy !req
669. You better put that down.Copy !req
670. Why don't you come and get it, baby?Copy !req
671. Come on, man. You ain't nothin'. Come on.Copy !req
672. Let's get him.Copy !req
673. Put that round your neck.Copy !req
674. Get him there! Get him!Copy !req
675. Get him!Copy !req
676. Hit him, baby. Go on. The other side.Copy !req
677. Look out, man. Get back. Watch out.Copy !req
678. All right, hold it!Copy !req
679. All right, boys.Copy !req
680. You've had your fun.
Now, go on. You just run along home.Copy !req
681. Nigger lover.Copy !req
682. I didn't catch what you said.Copy !req
683. Get rid of the nigger.Copy !req
684. If you don't... we will.Copy !req
685. Now, is that a suggestion
or is that an order?Copy !req
686. That's a warning!Copy !req
687. I see.Copy !req
688. I see.Copy !req
689. Get your trash and get outta here!Copy !req
690. Come on, move it and go!Copy !req
691. Well, you finally get the message, Virgil?Copy !req
692. May I get in?Copy !req
693. - Thought you left town.
- Not yet.Copy !req
694. Could you follow the same route
you followed Tuesday night?Copy !req
695. Same speed.Copy !req
696. - Why?
- Why not?Copy !req
697. - Maybe I'd better check with the chief.
- Maybe you'd better.Copy !req
698. I wouldn't want him to slap you down
for steppin' out of line,Copy !req
699. makin' decisions on your own and all that.Copy !req
700. He don't knock me outta my socks.Copy !req
701. Let's get rollin', Virgil.Copy !req
702. All you little birds better lock up tightCopy !req
703. 'cause there's a foul owl
on the prowl tonight.Copy !req
704. Take ten minutes to get myself
a king-sized Coke and a wedge of pie.Copy !req
705. That is if that peckerwood
ain't sold out again.Copy !req
706. Can I bring you anything?Copy !req
707. No, I'm coming in.Copy !req
708. I thought I told you
to get the hell outta here.Copy !req
709. I'm not ready to leave.Copy !req
710. I was gonna tell you
all about that in the mornin', Chief.Copy !req
711. Later! You forget about
those four maniacs this afternoon?Copy !req
712. - I need more time!
- Time!Copy !req
713. - Do I have to put you on the train myself?
- I guess so!Copy !req
714. All right, Virgil.
Just what the hell do you want?Copy !req
715. I want to know exactly where Sam Wood was
at all times on the night of the murder.Copy !req
716. Virgil, if you get killed, we're gonna have one
hell of a mess in this town, do you know that?Copy !req
717. I know.Copy !req
718. Got some real luscious cream pie
for you tonight, Sam.Copy !req
719. I mean, Officer Wood.
Just like you always order.Copy !req
720. Now, you know I don't eat that stuff.Copy !req
721. The chief here likes his boys streamlined.
Ain't that right, Chief?Copy !req
722. Why don't you shut up, Sam.Copy !req
723. - All right, what'll you have, Virgil?
- I ain't servin' him!Copy !req
724. Tuesday night you walked out
of here at 2:40, right?Copy !req
725. Right on the button.Copy !req
726. Two minutes from now.Copy !req
727. That's for him.Copy !req
728. Now, what'd you do
when you came out that night?Copy !req
729. Well, I, uh —
I picked up the radio and called in.Copy !req
730. Do it, please.Copy !req
731. Go ahead, go ahead.Copy !req
732. Uh, Wood to radio.
I'm leavin' Compton's now.Copy !req
733. Hey, Sam, you better look sharp.
Gillespie's sniffin' around.Copy !req
734. Give me that thing!Copy !req
735. Courtney, I checked with your brother. He
told me I didn't tell him to fix that hinge.Copy !req
736. That means I told you.
Do you read me, Courtney?Copy !req
737. - Oh, I'll get right on it, Chief.
- Oh, I'd do that if I were you.Copy !req
738. Yes, sir. Ten-four.Copy !req
739. All right, you can move us, Officer Wood.Copy !req
740. - Why'd you do that, Sam?
- Do what?Copy !req
741. Change your route back there at the corner.Copy !req
742. Who says I changed?Copy !req
743. Look, I oughta know what I did!Copy !req
744. Chief, do I have to put up with this?
Do I work for you, or do I work for him?Copy !req
745. Good night, gentlemen.Copy !req
746. I don't know. I don't know.Copy !req
747. Well, I appreciate anything you can do.Copy !req
748. - You know, this is highly irregular.
- Yeah, I know that.Copy !req
749. Showing our depositors' accounts.Copy !req
750. Mm-mm. I don't know.Copy !req
751. You sure this is an official request?Copy !req
752. Yes, it's official. Yes.Copy !req
753. You willing to put that in writing?Copy !req
754. Yeah, yeah, I'll put it in writing,
anyplace you'd like it.Copy !req
755. On a police department letterhead?Copy !req
756. I will write it on the head of a pin,
if you want it there.Copy !req
757. I gotta have somethin' for the
file, you know.Copy !req
758. I realize that, but I'm in a hurry,
Mr. Henderson.Copy !req
759. Well, we'll see.Copy !req
760. Well, he's had an account with us
for several years now.Copy !req
761. Is that so?Copy !req
762. Not a large account.Copy !req
763. Never more than, well, um...Copy !req
764. $208.Copy !req
765. That was back in '62.Copy !req
766. September.Copy !req
767. I am not interested in '62, September.
I am interested in yesterday.Copy !req
768. Yesterday?Copy !req
769. Well —Copy !req
770. Well, according to this,Copy !req
771. he made a deposit of... $632.Copy !req
772. - Yesterday?
- Yeah.Copy !req
773. Well, thank you.Copy !req
774. That must've been when I was out to lunch.Copy !req
775. A deposit that size I'd remember.Copy !req
776. Oh, you'll send me that letter
for the file, you hear?Copy !req
777. I'll tell you something, baby brother. The chief
didn't like him, not even from the first.Copy !req
778. - Morning.
- Hey. Where do you think you're going?Copy !req
779. It's all right. Let him go.Copy !req
780. I've just gotten off the
phone with the FBI lab.Copy !req
781. We can prove that Colbert was there
in that greenhouse. Endicott's covering up.Copy !req
782. I'm afraid you're a little late, Virgil.Copy !req
783. - We already got the guilty man.
- Who?Copy !req
784. Sam.Copy !req
785. - Sam?
- That's right.Copy !req
786. Our man is Endicott.Copy !req
787. You just think a minute.
Didn't you catch Sam in a lie last night?Copy !req
788. And yesterday he goes ahead
and makes a big cash deposit at the bank.Copy !req
789. If I told you once,
I told you a hundred timesCopy !req
790. that I won that money matchin' quarters and
halves, and it took me three years to do it!Copy !req
791. Then why was it in big bills?
'Cause I checked at the bank.Copy !req
792. Because whenever I got enough change,
I'd trade it in on $20 bills.Copy !req
793. And when I got up to $600,
I took it down and put it in the bank.Copy !req
794. It's simple as that.Copy !req
795. Well, all I know is that the day Colbert
was killed, he cashed a check for $900,Copy !req
796. $600 of which is missing,Copy !req
797. $300 which I believe you left in the wallet
as sucker bait for some poor kid,Copy !req
798. like that Harvey Oberst.Copy !req
799. What kind of man do you think I am?Copy !req
800. Now, don't you push me, boy!Copy !req
801. Now listen,Copy !req
802. if you weren't suspicious of Sam here,Copy !req
803. why did you question him last night
when he changed his route?Copy !req
804. - I already knew why he changed his route.
- Knew what?Copy !req
805. He was afraid I'd see
some naked white girl down the block.Copy !req
806. - What you talkin' about, naked white girls?
- Some girl named Delores Purdy.Copy !req
807. She parades around in the nude
at night to get her kicks.Copy !req
808. That's —Copy !req
809. - And how do you know?
- I know, I know.Copy !req
810. Well, I know, you understand?Copy !req
811. I know that Colbert
cashed a check for $900.Copy !req
812. I know that Sam made a big cash deposit.Copy !req
813. I know that you caught him in a lie.Copy !req
814. And I know that's enough for me.Copy !req
815. Come on, Sam.Copy !req
816. Martin, lock him up.Copy !req
817. Well?Copy !req
818. Well... you're making a mistake.Copy !req
819. Don't you bet against it.Copy !req
820. You can catch your train now, Virgil.Copy !req
821. Tibbs?Copy !req
822. Do you think Sam did it?Copy !req
823. Where do I find the chief?Copy !req
824. - What's this all about?
- My business.Copy !req
825. Hey, look, Purdy.Copy !req
826. Now, you got a complaint?
Well, right here's where you file it.Copy !req
827. What I got to say I say to the chief.Copy !req
828. It's about Sam Wood.Copy !req
829. All right.Copy !req
830. Yeah?Copy !req
831. Purdy's out here, sir. It's about Sam.Copy !req
832. All right. Send him in.Copy !req
833. She is gonna have a baby.
Sam Wood's baby.Copy !req
834. Well, ask her yourself
if you don't believe me.Copy !req
835. What are you doin' here?Copy !req
836. It's important that I hear this.Copy !req
837. Well, I ain't talkin' 'bout this
with him in the room.Copy !req
838. Boy, you don't want a slough of trouble,
you get.Copy !req
839. You be sensible. I'm a police officer.Copy !req
840. You gonna get him outta here,
or do I gotta do it?Copy !req
841. You ain't gonna do nothin'.Copy !req
842. You just stand there and shut up.Copy !req
843. Sit down, little girl.Copy !req
844. All right now.Copy !req
845. You tell me all about it.
You just tell me how it happened.Copy !req
846. Oh, come on, come on, girl, speak!Copy !req
847. Well, you know how hot it's been.Copy !req
848. Yeah.Copy !req
849. Nights, they aren't any better.Copy !req
850. My brother works nights.Copy !req
851. He leaves me all alone.Copy !req
852. This particular night,
I go out on the porch.Copy !req
853. I'm thinkin' how nice it'd be
if I had a fountain drink.Copy !req
854. Sam comes down our road,Copy !req
855. just like he comes every night.Copy !req
856. Passin' like a lord
in that fine, big, shiny car.Copy !req
857. Only this time he stops.Copy !req
858. He's got a nice face,
don't you think, Chief?Copy !req
859. So he stopped.Copy !req
860. - And he says —
- What? I didn't hear what you said.Copy !req
861. He says,Copy !req
862. "Hey, little girl.Copy !req
863. You know what the coolest spot in town is?"Copy !req
864. And I said, "No, Sam, I guess I don't."Copy !req
865. And he said, "A cemetery, that's where.Copy !req
866. Know why?Copy !req
867. 'Cause they got
all them big, cool tombstones.Copy !req
868. Ever stretch out on a tombstone, Delores?Copy !req
869. Feel all that nice, cool marble
along your body?"Copy !req
870. He said that?Copy !req
871. You hear, Chief? You hear?Copy !req
872. Yeah, I hear, I hear.Copy !req
873. All right now, Sam comes along
and stops in front of your house.Copy !req
874. He starts to talk to you. What else?Copy !req
875. Well, come on now, girl.
What else, what else, what else?Copy !req
876. Then I went for a ride with him.Copy !req
877. - Where'd you go?
- To the cemetery.Copy !req
878. So Wood took you to the cemetery
in the patrol car, right?Copy !req
879. And then things went a little bit too far.
Is that what you're saying?Copy !req
880. Did they get a little bit outta line?Copy !req
881. Well, come on now.
Is that what you're tryin' to say?Copy !req
882. Come on, girl! Is it or ain't it? Come on!Copy !req
883. - Yeah, they went too far!
- Well, fine!Copy !req
884. Now, I got one more question —
very important.Copy !req
885. Did he force you, or did you let him?Copy !req
886. Don't mean a damn
whether she let him or not!Copy !req
887. She is still 16!
In this state, that's rape.Copy !req
888. I checked on that.
I know the plain law on that!Copy !req
889. I know the laws
in the state of Mississippi, thank you!Copy !req
890. - Are you sure you're pregnant?
- Yes, I am pregnant!Copy !req
891. - Courtney.
- Yes, sir?Copy !req
892. Better get in here with a pad and a pencil.Copy !req
893. Come on in.
I want you to take this all down.Copy !req
894. You had no right
to keep a nigger in the room.Copy !req
895. Shame my little sister.Copy !req
896. You had no right.Copy !req
897. Uh, Virge, what's happenin'?Copy !req
898. - Hi, Harv.
- How are you, Virgil?Copy !req
899. All right.Copy !req
900. Man, uh, uh —Copy !req
901. You sure saved my hide.Copy !req
902. Listen, Harvey.Copy !req
903. Man, uh...Copy !req
904. if a guy knocks up a girl in this town,
where can he go for help?Copy !req
905. Uh, barbershop.Copy !req
906. Barbershop?Copy !req
907. Borrow Mr. Fanning's razor
and cut your throat.Copy !req
908. Well —Copy !req
909. But suppose
Mr. Fanning's razor is too dull.Copy !req
910. Suppose he's got some real money
to spread around.Copy !req
911. Well, uh...Copy !req
912. there used to be a colored gal...Copy !req
913. but, uh, she kept bumping her price,Copy !req
914. and I don't know if
she's still in business.Copy !req
915. What's her name?Copy !req
916. Well, I ain't never had to look her up,Copy !req
917. but, uh, Packy might know.Copy !req
918. Where do I find Packy?Copy !req
919. Down at the pool hall.Copy !req
920. But, man, he wouldn't tell you,Copy !req
921. not unless I say so.Copy !req
922. And, uh, how am I gonna say so
locked up in here?Copy !req
923. Suppose I get word to Packy
that you wanna see him,Copy !req
924. have him come here?Copy !req
925. You'd let him bring me a cheeseburger?Copy !req
926. Onions?Copy !req
927. Now you're talkin'.Copy !req
928. Uh, uh, Virge?Copy !req
929. Gettin' a little careless,
ain't ya, Virgil?Copy !req
930. Leaving your car parked in the road
like that. Gonna get yourself killed.Copy !req
931. Anybody'd know where you are.Copy !req
932. - You know what this land is?
- Yeah, I know what it is.Copy !req
933. It's the site for the new factory.Copy !req
934. I found a piece of wood
in Colbert's scalp.Copy !req
935. The lab identified it as pine.Copy !req
936. Three people saw Colbert
drive by their houses, alone,Copy !req
937. on the way back from Endicott's.Copy !req
938. Colbert must have picked up somebody
in town and then... come out here.Copy !req
939. Boy, you got it all figured out, ain't you,
Virgil? I tell you, he didn't pick up nobody.Copy !req
940. I tell you that Sam
followed him out here in the patrol car.Copy !req
941. Sam come up behind him,
just like I come up behind you.Copy !req
942. I heard you coming.
Colbert would have heard too.Copy !req
943. Yeah, he heard!
He turned and he got smashed!Copy !req
944. He was hit from behind.Copy !req
945. If Delores Purdy hadn't come into your
office, I never would have seen the truth.Copy !req
946. I was hung up trying to get Endicott
for personal reasons.Copy !req
947. Do you know what I'm gonna do, Virgil?Copy !req
948. I'm gonna take you over to Brownsville
and put you on the bus myself!Copy !req
949. You aren't taking me anywhere, you dig?Copy !req
950. You're holding the wrong man!Copy !req
951. What do you mean
I'm holding the wrong man?Copy !req
952. I got the motive, which is money,
and the body, which is dead!Copy !req
953. - What makes you so sure?
- Why do you doubt it?Copy !req
954. Because Colbert was killed here,Copy !req
955. then driven back to town in his own car
and dumped on the streets.Copy !req
956. Sam couldn't have driven two cars.Copy !req
957. What do you want?Copy !req
958. Give me till morning.Copy !req
959. You know —Copy !req
960. You know, Virgil,
you are among the chosen few.Copy !req
961. How's that?Copy !req
962. Well, I think that you're the first
human being that's ever been in here.Copy !req
963. Well, you can't be too careful, man.Copy !req
964. You know a lot of things, don't ya?Copy !req
965. Well, just what do you know about insomnia?Copy !req
966. Bourbon can't cure it.Copy !req
967. Well, that's for sure.Copy !req
968. Now, look.Copy !req
969. I got no wife, I got no kids.Copy !req
970. Boy, I got a town that don't want me.Copy !req
971. Oh, and I got an air-conditioner
that I have to oil myselfCopy !req
972. and a desk with a busted leg.Copy !req
973. And on top of that, I got —Copy !req
974. this, uh... place.Copy !req
975. Now, don't you think that'd drive a man
to take a few drinks?Copy !req
976. I'll tell you a secret.Copy !req
977. Nobody comes here.Copy !req
978. Never.Copy !req
979. You married?Copy !req
980. No.Copy !req
981. Ever been?Copy !req
982. No.Copy !req
983. Ever been close to it?Copy !req
984. Close to it.Copy !req
985. Don't you get just... a little lonely?Copy !req
986. No lonelier than you, man.Copy !req
987. Oh, now, don't get smart, black boy.Copy !req
988. I don't need it.Copy !req
989. No pity, thank you.Copy !req
990. No, thank you.Copy !req
991. - Yeah?
- Chief?Copy !req
992. - Yeah?
- You know where I can find Virgil?Copy !req
993. Who are you?Copy !req
994. Packy, Chief. Packy Harrison.Copy !req
995. I'm a friend of Harv's.Copy !req
996. You got something for me?Copy !req
997. Yeah.Copy !req

1000. What the hell does that mean?Copy !req
1001. You gave me till morning, remember?Copy !req
1002. - He's gone.
- Hell, he could have exchanged cars by now.Copy !req
1003. - Let's dog him.
- Now you stick here. We'll keep cruisin'.Copy !req
1004. You find him,

1005. That's her place here.Copy !req
1006. You want me to wait?Copy !req
1007. No, thank you, Packy.Copy !req
1008. You go on home.Copy !req
1009. Mrs. Bellamy?Copy !req

1088. I said, "I sure would like a job

1089. And he said, "Sure."Copy !req
1090. And I said, well,
I wondered where it was gonna be.Copy !req
1091. He said, well, that field

1092. He was gonna stop and show me.Copy !req
1093. I said to myself, man, he's askin' for it.Copy !req
1094. I said, now, Ralph,

1095. is just sneak up behind himCopy !req
1096. and just tap him.Copy !req
1097. And then just claim that somebody
jumped us from the bushes.Copy !req
1098. That's all.Copy !req

1102. All right, come on now.Copy !req
