63. Well, before you do that,
Officer Dixon...Copy !req
64. how about you go have yourself a look
at that first billboard over there?Copy !req
65. And then we can have ourself
a conversationCopy !req
66. about the motherfucking environment.Copy !req
67. How about that?Copy !req
68. Fuck me.Copy !req
69. Don't, William.Copy !req

to fuck with the cops yet?Copy !req
79. They're up-Copy !req

You go fuck those cops up.Copy !req
81. What the fuck
do you think you're doing, Welby,Copy !req
82. a bunch of billboards like that?Copy !req
83. You didn't think there'd be
some kind of ramifications, legally?Copy !req
84. What's the legal ramifications, Cedric?Copy !req
85. You want me to explain
legal ramifications,Copy !req
86. little punk like you?
And don't call me Cedric!Copy !req
87. Ain't contravening no laws on propriety.Copy !req
88. Ain't contravening no laws
on any fucking thing.Copy !req
89. I checked all this out.Copy !req
90. And where'd you check all this out?Copy !req
91. In a...Copy !req
92. - a book.
- Which book, genius?Copy !req
93. Book called Suck My Ass,
It's None Of Your Business.Copy !req
94. Fuck.Copy !req
95. How long has this person, or persons,Copy !req
96. rented these billboards out for?Copy !req
97. Oh... the year.Copy !req
98. How long has she actually paid for?Copy !req
99. The year.Copy !req
100. So it's a "she," is it?Copy !req
101. I ain't at liberty to divulge
that kind of information, Chief.Copy !req
102. Mildred Hayes, perhaps?Copy !req
103. Ain't at liberty to divulge
that kind of information, Chief.Copy !req
104. Do you really wanna fuckCopy !req
105. with the Ebbing Police Department, Red?Copy !req
106. Do you?Copy !req
107. I guess.Copy !req
108. He said what? To your face?Copy !req
109. No crime has been committed here.Copy !req
110. Oh, come on.
Defamation of character ain't a crime?Copy !req
111. It isn't defamation
if she's simply asking a question.Copy !req
112. What are you, an idiot?Copy !req
113. Don't call me an idiot, Dixon!Copy !req
114. I didn't call you an idiot.Copy !req
115. I asked if you was an idiot.
That was a question.Copy !req
116. - He got you there, Cedric.
- That's it? Come on, man!Copy !req
117. Hey! Don't go flying off the handle.Copy !req
118. Why in the hell you keep that man on?Copy !req
119. He's a good man at heart.Copy !req
120. He tortured a guy in custody, Bill.Copy !req
121. There was no...
real evidence to support that.Copy !req
122. Take 'em down.Copy !req
123. - Huh?
- Take that shit down.Copy !req
124. Take what shit down?Copy !req
125. Hey, boy. You think I wouldn't take
you out right here on Main Street, Red?Copy !req
126. I thought you only took out
black dudes, Dixon.Copy !req
127. No! No! Stop it.Copy !req
128. You ever fucking touch me,
motherfucker...Copy !req
129. You drunk?Copy !req
130. - Are you drunk right now?
- Get up.Copy !req
131. Nobody ever goes down that road anyways.Copy !req
132. Unless they got lost. Or they're retards.Copy !req
133. Well, don't be nervous,
is the main thing.Copy !req
134. It'll go just fine.Copy !req
135. Don't look in the camera, obviously.Copy !req
136. Let's hold for this car.Copy !req
137. In three, two, one.Copy !req
138. So, Mildred Hayes,
why did you put up these billboards?Copy !req
139. My daughter, Angela,Copy !req
140. was abducted, raped and murdered
seven months agoCopy !req
141. along this selfsame stretch of road.Copy !req
142. What you watching, Momma?
Stupid news?Copy !req
143. It seems to me the local police departmentCopy !req
144. is too busy going around
torturing black folksCopy !req
145. to be bothered doing anything
about solving actual crime.Copy !req
146. I thought these billboards
might concentrate their minds some.Copy !req
147. Fuck.Copy !req
148. I don't know what the
police are doing, to be honest with you.Copy !req
149. I do know that my daughter's burnt body
is lying six feet underground.Copy !req
150. All they're doing is eating Krispy KremesCopy !req
151. and busting eight-year-olds
for skating around parking lots.Copy !req
152. And Chief Willoughby,Copy !req
153. why single him out?Copy !req
154. He's the head of them, ain't he?Copy !req
155. The buck's gotta stop somewhere.Copy !req
156. And the buck stops at Willoughby?Copy !req
157. Yeah, the buck stops at Willoughby.Copy !req
158. Dead right it does.Copy !req
159. You all right there, fella?Copy !req
160. Looks like we got a war on our hands.Copy !req
161. Can we talk?Copy !req
162. I'd do anything to catch the guy
who did it, Mrs. Hayes.Copy !req
163. But when the DNA don't match
no one who's ever been arrested,Copy !req
164. and when the DNA don't match
any other crime nationwide,Copy !req
165. and when there wasn't a single eyewitnessCopy !req
166. from the time she'd left your house
to the time we found her, well...Copy !req
167. right now there ain't
too much more we can do.Copy !req
168. Could pull blood
from every man and boy in this townCopy !req
169. over the age of eight.Copy !req
170. There's civil rights laws
prevents that, Mrs. Hayes.Copy !req
171. And what if he was
just passing through town?Copy !req
172. Pull blood from every man
in the country, then.Copy !req
173. Then what if he was just passing
through the country?Copy !req
174. If it was me,
I'd start up a database.Copy !req
175. Every male baby what's born,
stick them on it,Copy !req
176. and as soon as he done something wrong,Copy !req
177. cross-reference it,Copy !req
178. make 100% certain it was
a correct match,Copy !req
179. then kill him.Copy !req
180. Yeah, well, there's...Copy !req
181. definitely civil rights laws
prevents that.Copy !req
182. Ah.Copy !req
183. I'm doing everything I can
to track him down.Copy !req
184. I don't think those billboards
is very fair.Copy !req
185. The time it took you to get out here
whining like a bitch, Willoughby,Copy !req
186. some other poor girl's probably
out there being butchered right now.Copy !req
187. But I'm glad you got your priorities
straight, I'll say that for you.Copy !req
188. There's something else, Mildred.Copy !req
189. I got cancer.Copy !req
190. - I'm dying.
- I know it.Copy !req
191. Huh?Copy !req
192. I know it.
Most everybody in town knows it.Copy !req
193. And you still put up those billboards?Copy !req
194. Well, they wouldn't be
as effective after you croak. Right?Copy !req
195. Well, looky looky.Copy !req
196. If it ain't the instigator of this whole
goddamn affair in the first place.Copy !req
197. I didn't instigate shit, Dixon.Copy !req
198. Playing pool against the town midget.Copy !req
199. He's right, Red,Copy !req
200. you are playing pool
against the town midget.Copy !req
201. You know, he's a cop.
You know, he's observant.Copy !req
202. I always disliked you, Red,Copy !req
203. ever since you was a snotty little child.Copy !req
204. You still look like a snotty little child.Copy !req
205. That's unfortunate.
I always thought you was great.Copy !req
206. Even your name, Red Welby.Copy !req
207. - Even your name I disliked.
- Well...Copy !req
208. okay.Copy !req
209. Like you was some kind
of goddamn communist or something...Copy !req
210. - and proud of it.
- No, it's 'cause I got red hair.Copy !req
211. You know what they do to faggots
down in Cuba, Welby?Copy !req
212. Wow, that's left field.Copy !req
213. No, what do they do to faggots
down in Cuba, Dixon?Copy !req
214. They kill 'em.Copy !req
215. Which, it might surprise you
to learn, I'm against.Copy !req
216. I'm not sure if they do kill faggots
down in Cuba, Dixon.Copy !req
217. I know Cuba's human rights
record's pretty deplorableCopy !req
218. when it comes to homosexuality,Copy !req
219. but killing 'em?Copy !req
220. Are you sure
you ain't thinking of Wyoming?Copy !req
221. Always with the smart-ass. Jesus.Copy !req
222. He's quite good, isn't he?Copy !req
223. Hey, Willoughby's a good man.
Hey, look at me. Hey, look at me.Copy !req
224. I'm talking nice to you now, aren't I?Copy !req
225. I'm talking nice to you.Copy !req
226. Willoughby's a good man, Red.Copy !req
227. Shouldn't have this be
the only thing he thinks about,Copy !req
228. last months left to him.Copy !req
229. Last months what?Copy !req
230. Oh, you...Copy !req
231. you didn't know?Copy !req
232. Yeah, pancre... pancreatic.Copy !req
233. I'm up next.
You old ladies quit yakking.Copy !req
234. - Rude.
- Hey, Mildred.Copy !req
235. I saw you on TV the other day.Copy !req
236. - Oh, yeah?
- Yeah, you looked good.Copy !req
237. I mean, you know,
you came across really goodCopy !req
238. in the things
that you were saying.Copy !req
239. I didn't think
you came across real good.Copy !req
240. I think you sounded...
You came across as a stupid-ass.Copy !req
241. Ain't it about time you got home
to your momma, Dixon?Copy !req
242. No, it ain't time I go home
to my mama... momma.Copy !req
243. I told her I was gonna be out
till 12:00, actually.Copy !req
244. Jesus.Copy !req
245. That's me versus you, Mildred.Copy !req
246. Hey, Robbie. I think
that midget wants to get in my pants.Copy !req
247. Father Montgomery.Copy !req
248. Mildred. I'm... I'm sorry to be calling
on you so late, but, uh...Copy !req
249. I must say, Robbie has been
the consummate host.Copy !req
250. Despite his having had,
as he was just telling me,Copy !req
251. somewhat of a tricky day at school.Copy !req
252. Oh, no. Just some of the guys
on the team was giving me crap.Copy !req
253. Crap about what?Copy !req
254. About the billboards, Mildred.Copy !req
255. Which is what I've come
to have a word with you about.Copy !req
256. Oh. Proceed.Copy !req
257. I know how hard
it's been for you, Mildred,Copy !req
258. this past year. We all do.Copy !req
259. And if there is
ever anything that you need,Copy !req
260. we will be there for you. Always.Copy !req
261. But the town also knowsCopy !req
262. what kind of a man
William Willoughby is.Copy !req
263. And the town is dead set
against these billboards of yours.Copy !req
264. Took a poll, did you, Father?Copy !req
265. You know, Mildred,
if you hadn't stopped coming to church,Copy !req
266. you'd have a little bit more understandingCopy !req
267. of the depth of people's feelings.Copy !req
268. I had more than a dozen people
come up to me on Sunday.Copy !req
269. So, yes, I took a poll.Copy !req
270. Everybody is with you about Angela.Copy !req
271. Nobody is with you about this.Copy !req
272. You know what I was thinking about today?Copy !req
273. I was thinking about those street gangsCopy !req
274. they have down in Los Angeles,Copy !req
275. those Crips and those Bloods.Copy !req
276. And I was thinking
about that bunch of new lawsCopy !req
277. they came up with
in the 1980s, I think it was,Copy !req
278. to combat those street gangs,
those Crips and those Bloods.Copy !req
279. And, if I remember rightly, the gist
of what those new laws were saying was,Copy !req
280. if you join one of these gangs,
and you're running with them,Copy !req
281. and down the block one night,
unbeknownst to you,Copy !req
282. one of your fellow Crips,
or your fellow Bloods,Copy !req
283. shoot up a place, or stab a guy...Copy !req
284. well then, even though
you may not know nothing about itCopy !req
285. and even though you may have
just been standing on a street corner,Copy !req
286. minding your own business...Copy !req
287. What these new laws said was
you're still culpable.Copy !req
288. You're still culpable
by the very act of having joinedCopy !req
289. those Crips and those Bloods
in the first place.Copy !req
290. Which got me thinking, Father...Copy !req
291. that whole type of situationCopy !req
292. is kinda like you church boys, ain't it?Copy !req
293. You got your colors,
you got your clubhouse.Copy !req
294. You're, for want
of a better word, a gang.Copy !req
295. And if you were upstairs
smoking a pipe and reading your Bible...Copy !req
296. while one
of your fellow gang membersCopy !req
297. is downstairs fucking
an altar boy, well...Copy !req
298. Father, just like those Crips,
and just like those Bloods,Copy !req
299. you're culpable...Copy !req
300. 'cause you joined the gang, man.Copy !req
301. I don't care if you never did shit,Copy !req
302. you never saw shit,
you never heard shit.Copy !req
303. You join the gang,
you're culpable.Copy !req
304. And when a person is culpable
to altar-boy-fucking,Copy !req
305. or any kinda boy-fucking,Copy !req
306. 'cause I know you guys didn't
really narrow that down...Copy !req
307. then you kinda forfeit the right
to come into my houseCopy !req
308. and say anything about me or my life,Copy !req
309. or my daughter, or my billboards.Copy !req
310. So why don't you just finish up
your tea there, Father,Copy !req
311. and get the fuck
outta my kitchen.Copy !req
312. But thanks for coming up anyway, Father.Copy !req
313. How you been feeling, Bill?Copy !req
314. Ah, like I got cancer in a major organ.Copy !req
315. Well, I just want you to know
we're all on your sideCopy !req
316. about this Mildred Hayes thing.Copy !req
317. If I have to hear that
one more fucking time...Copy !req
318. I'm done with this shit.
I can't waste my life waiting.Copy !req
319. Stop reading fucking comic booksCopy !req
320. and get me the file
on the Hayes case.Copy !req
321. Angela Hayes case
or the Mildred Hayes case?Copy !req
322. There is no Mildred Hayes case.Copy !req
323. We've had two official complaintsCopy !req
324. about those billboards, so, actually...Copy !req
325. From who?Copy !req
326. There's a lady with a funny eye...Copy !req
327. and a fat dentist.Copy !req
328. Get me the file
on the Angela Hayes case.Copy !req
329. "A lady with a funny fucking eye"?Copy !req
330. Jesus Christ.Copy !req
331. Late night?Copy !req
332. No.Copy !req
333. Lay off that Welby guy, will you?Copy !req
334. Or you'll do what?Copy !req
335. Kick your momma's
fucking teeth in.Copy !req
336. No, you won't.Copy !req
337. Who told you I was laying
on him anyway? The midget?Copy !req
338. What the fuck are you talking about?Copy !req
339. And I'm trying to fucking concentrate.Copy !req
340. Fucking midgets!Copy !req
341. What you looking for anyway?Copy !req
342. There's nothing to look for.Copy !req
343. I don't know what it is.Copy !req
344. It feels like
it's kinda waggling.Copy !req
345. Well, if it's waggling,
it's gonna have to come out.Copy !req
346. Ain't you gonna
take a look at it first?Copy !req
347. It's gonna have to come out.Copy !req
348. Can I get a little Novocaine there, Doc?Copy !req
349. Give it a couple of minutes.Copy !req
350. I just wanted to say
there's a lot of good friendsCopy !req
351. of Bill Willoughby in this town,
Miss Hayes.Copy !req
352. No! Ow! Stop! No!Copy !req
353. God damn it!Copy !req
354. Then why don't you tell
those good friends of Bill WilloughbyCopy !req
355. to tell him to go
do his fucking job, fat boy.Copy !req
356. Hey there, Mildred.Copy !req
357. You didn't happen to pay a visitCopy !req
358. to the dentist today, did you?Copy !req
359. - No.
- Huh?Copy !req
360. I said, "No."Copy !req
361. Oh, so it wasn't you
who drilled a little holeCopy !req
362. in one of big fat Geoffrey's
big fat thumbnails, no?Copy !req
363. - Of course not.
- Huh?Copy !req
364. I said, "Of course not."Copy !req
365. You drilled a hole in the dentist?Copy !req
366. Denise, no, I didn't.Copy !req
367. I thought
it was kinda funny myself, but...Copy !req
368. he wants to press charges,Copy !req
369. so we're gonna have
to bring you in, I'm afraid.Copy !req
370. So how's it all going
in the nigger-torturing business, Dixon?Copy !req
371. It's persons-of-color-torturing business,
these days.Copy !req
372. If you wanna know...Copy !req
373. I didn't torture nobody.Copy !req
374. What's the matter with you,
saying that goddamn stuff on TV?Copy !req
375. My momma watches that station.Copy !req
376. Your momma doesn't know
about the torturing?Copy !req
377. No, she doesn't know anything about it.
She's against that kinda thing.Copy !req
378. Who's against what?Copy !req
379. My mama... momma is against
persons-of-color-torturing.Copy !req
380. She said, "Nigger-torturing."Copy !req
381. I said, "You can't say
'nigger-torturing' no more.Copy !req
382. "You gotta say
persons-of-color-torturing."Copy !req
383. Isn't that right, Chief?Copy !req
384. Ain't that right?Copy !req
385. I think I'll be able
to take care of Mrs. HayesCopy !req
386. on my own from here on, Jason.Copy !req
387. Sure, Chief. I'll be right outside.Copy !req
388. Don't give me that look.Copy !req
389. If you got rid of every cop
with vaguely racist leanings,Copy !req
390. you'd have... three cops left,Copy !req
391. and all of them
are gonna hate the fags.Copy !req
392. So what are you gonna do,
you know?Copy !req
393. I wanna know something, Mildred.Copy !req
394. Why'd you drill a holeCopy !req
395. through poor fat Geoffrey's thumbnail?Copy !req
396. That did not happen.Copy !req
397. His hand slipped.Copy !req
398. He drilled a hole
through his own self.Copy !req
399. Did he say I did it?Copy !req
400. I guess
it's his word against mine, then, huh?Copy !req
401. Kinda like in all those rape cases
you hear about.Copy !req
402. Except, this time,
the chick ain't losing.Copy !req
403. It ain't really about winning
or losing, though, is it, Mildred?Copy !req
404. You think I care about who wins or loses
between the two of youse?Copy !req
405. You think I care about dentists?Copy !req
406. I don't care about dentists.Copy !req
407. Nobody cares about dentists.Copy !req
408. What I do care about, or what I'm...Copy !req
409. interested in...Copy !req
410. is tying you up in court so longCopy !req
411. that your hours at the gift shop
be so shot to shitCopy !req
412. that you ain't gonna have a pennyCopy !req
413. to pay for another month's billboards.Copy !req
414. - I got some dough put...
- That's what I'm interested in.Copy !req
415. I got some dough put away.Copy !req
416. But what I heard was you had to sell off
your ex-husband's tractor-trailerCopy !req
417. to even pay for this month's
billboards, that right?Copy !req
418. How is old Charlie, by the way?Copy !req
419. He still shacked up with that pretty
little intern works down at the zoo?Copy !req
420. He's still shacked up
with some chick smells of shit.Copy !req
421. I don't know if the 200's
got anything to do with it.Copy !req
422. Although I'd hope so.Copy !req
423. How old is she? Nineteen?Copy !req
424. That must smart.Copy !req
425. Keep trying. Keep trying.Copy !req
426. What's Charlie think about
these here billboards of yours,Copy !req
427. an ex-cop like Charlie?Copy !req
428. Ex-cop, ex-wife-beater.
Same difference, I guess, right?Copy !req
429. His word against yours,
though, right?Copy !req
430. Charlie don't know about 'em, does he?Copy !req
431. It's none of his business.Copy !req
432. Well, he's kinda paying for 'em,
though, ain't he?Copy !req
433. - I'm paying for 'em!
- This month you are.Copy !req
434. How about when...Copy !req
435. - I... I didn't mean to...
- I know.Copy !req
436. - It was an accident.
- I know, baby.Copy !req
437. It's blood.Copy !req
438. I'm gonna go get somebody.Copy !req
439. Hey!Copy !req
440. - Just let her go.
- Come on, Chief.Copy !req
441. Just let her go!Copy !req
442. Easy, easy, easy.Copy !req
443. Hey.Copy !req
444. - Do birds get cancer?
- Huh?Copy !req
445. - Birds. Do they get cancer?
- I don't know. Dogs do.Copy !req
446. Yeah, well, I wasn't talking
about dogs, was I?Copy !req
447. Great, the good old
"Raped While Dying" route home.Copy !req
448. 'Cause if there was two seconds in a dayCopy !req
449. when I wasn't thinking about her
and I wasn't thinking about how she died,Copy !req
450. "There you go! Think about it
some more, why don't you?"Copy !req
451. It's good too, that as much
as a person might have triedCopy !req
452. to avoid the details of what happenedCopy !req
453. 'cause he didn't think
it would do any good,Copy !req
454. and he didn't think he could bear it...Copy !req
455. it's also good to be informedCopy !req
456. in 20-foot-high font
and in real nice letteringCopy !req
457. the precise details of her last moments.Copy !req
458. That it wasn't enough that she was rapedCopy !req
459. and it wasn't enough that she died, no.Copy !req
460. "Raped While Dying."Copy !req
461. Thank you, Mom.Copy !req
462. I gave you the police reports.Copy !req
463. I didn't read 'em.Copy !req
464. I'm depressed enough as it fucking is.Copy !req
465. Mom?Copy !req
466. Yeah?Copy !req
467. You ain't going out
again tonight, are ya?Copy !req
468. Denise and I are gonna
grab a couple of beers, yeah.Copy !req
469. Denise gonna be driving you?Copy !req
470. Angela, Why don't you just ask me
if you can borrow the car?Copy !req
471. - Can I borrow the car?
- No.Copy !req
472. - Bitch!
- I will give you money for a taxiCopy !req
473. if you ask me nice
and don't call me a bitch.Copy !req
474. Why'd you make me ask you
if you was never gonna let me borrow it?Copy !req
475. 'Cause it was funny! And because
you've been smoking pot all day.Copy !req
476. - You are such a hypocrite.
- Hypocrite?Copy !req
477. - Yeah.
- How?Copy !req
478. You drove drunk with us
in the car when we were kids.Copy !req
479. - What are you talking about?
- Daddy told me.Copy !req
480. - When'd you see him?
- Don't change the subject.Copy !req
481. Did you or did you not drive drunk with us
in the car when we were kids?Copy !req
482. - Once, maybe.
- Okay, once?Copy !req
483. When he was in the middle
of beating the shit out of me.Copy !req
484. - Which we've only got your word about!
- Angela, for Christ sakes.Copy !req
485. Why are you never on my side, Robbie?Copy !req
486. I'm always on your side
when you're not being a cunt!Copy !req
487. - Hey!
- There will be no more "cunts"Copy !req
488. - in this house. You got that, mister?
- What, are you moving out?Copy !req
489. It was a Ga...
It's a Ga... it was a gag.Copy !req
490. Are you gonna let me
borrow the car or what?Copy !req
491. Why don't you just walk, Angela?
Why don't you just walk?Copy !req
492. You know what? I will walk.Copy !req
493. I will walk! And you know what else?Copy !req
494. - I hope I get raped on the way!
- Yeah, well, I hopeCopy !req
495. you get raped on the way too!Copy !req
496. We're gonna need to keep you
in a few days, Bill.Copy !req
497. You shouldn't be
coughing up blood.Copy !req
498. Yeah. Kinda guessed that, Doc.Copy !req
499. I'll swing by in the morning.Copy !req
500. Anne.Copy !req
501. I guess I'll go
get your coat, huh?Copy !req
502. Well, you know I ain't staying.Copy !req
503. You know I ain't arguing.Copy !req
504. Oops.Copy !req
505. You old cunt.Copy !req
506. I'm not old, Robbie.Copy !req
507. That's Dad.Copy !req
508. Hey, Dad. How's it going?Copy !req
509. Where's the crazy lady?Copy !req
510. Kid's got Rice fucking Krispies
in his fucking hair.Copy !req
511. What's going on around here?Copy !req
512. And What the fuck is going on
with these fucking billboards, Mildred?Copy !req
513. Kinda self-explanatory.Copy !req
514. Well, why don't you just explain it to me?Copy !req
515. Guess it ain't self-explanatory, then.Copy !req
516. Well, you know, I guess
I wanted certain people's mindsCopy !req
517. kept on certain people's jobs, is all.Copy !req
518. I hadn't heard from them
in seven goddamn months.Copy !req
519. I tell you this,
I've heard an awful lot from themCopy !req
520. since I put them billboards up.Copy !req
521. You think this has focused
their minds? Mmm?Copy !req
522. I'll tell you what
it's focused their minds on.Copy !req
523. It's focused their minds on
how exactly are they gonna fuck you up.Copy !req
524. The more you keep a case
in the public eye,Copy !req
525. the better your chances
are of getting it solved.Copy !req
526. It's in all the guidebooks, Charlie.Copy !req
527. How much these billboards cost?Copy !req
528. About the same
as a tractor-trailer.Copy !req
529. - What the fuck are you laughing at?
- Nothing.Copy !req
530. Laughed at by a guy
with fucking cereal in his hair.Copy !req
531. - How's Penelope?
- Huh? She's all right.Copy !req
532. Why don't you invite her in?Copy !req
533. Save leaving her sitting out there.Copy !req
534. - She here?
- She's out in the car.Copy !req
535. Oh, that explains it.Copy !req
536. - That explains what?
- I know I smelt something.Copy !req
537. Let her go!Copy !req
538. Oh! Urn, I kinda need
to use the bathroom,Copy !req
539. but if it's inconvenient...
Actually, it is inconvenient, isn't it?Copy !req
540. I can see it's inconvenient.
I can hold it. It's all right.Copy !req
541. It's the first door down the hall.Copy !req
542. Are you sure?
I feel like I'm... intruding.Copy !req
543. - Just go pee.
- Oh.Copy !req
544. Look, you said what you came to say,Copy !req
545. so why don't you go get zoo girlCopy !req
546. and get the hell
out of my house, all right?Copy !req
547. Urn, actually, zoo-wise, they were
letting people go at the zoo,Copy !req
548. unfortunately, and it was a case
of "last in, first out,"Copy !req
549. so yeah, unfortunately,
the zoo had to let me go.Copy !req
550. But they were looking for people down
at the horse rides for the disabledsCopy !req
551. to look after the horses down there.Copy !req
552. So I'm working down there now,
looking after the disableds' horses.Copy !req
553. - Don't say a word.
- I wasn't gonna say a word.Copy !req
554. You don't think I don't wish
it had never happened?Copy !req
555. You don't think I don't wish
she was still here?Copy !req
556. I know you do.Copy !req
557. I know you do.Copy !req
558. Billboards ain't gonna
bring her back, Mildred.Copy !req
559. Neither is fucking 19-year-olds, Charlie.Copy !req
560. Yeah?Copy !req
561. But I know that.Copy !req
562. Just go.Copy !req
563. Yeah, all right.Copy !req
564. I'm such a shitty dad,
and you're such a great morn. All right.Copy !req
565. So how come a week before she diedCopy !req
566. she comes around asking if she can
move in with me at my place?Copy !req
567. 'Cause she couldn't stand the two of you
bitching at each other no more,Copy !req
568. - fighting with each other no more.
- I don't believe you.Copy !req
569. And I said, "No. Stay at home.
Your morn loves you."Copy !req
570. Now I wish I hadn't.Copy !req
571. 'Cause if I hadn't,
she'd still fucking be here.Copy !req
572. I don't believe you!Copy !req
573. Don't believe me.Copy !req
574. Ask Froot Loop boy.Copy !req
575. Is that true?Copy !req
576. I don't know, Mom.Copy !req
577. Yeah, you do.Copy !req
578. What's the matter?Copy !req
579. Nothing.Copy !req
580. Oh, come on,
not Donald Sutherland again.Copy !req
581. What is this, frickin'
Donald Sutherland season?Copy !req
582. I like him. I like his hair.Copy !req
583. Hair?Copy !req
584. This is the one
where his little girl dies.Copy !req
585. Always a plus in a movie.Copy !req
586. Talking of dead kids,Copy !req
587. what's happening with the billboard lady?Copy !req
588. Oh, that kooz won't listen to reason.Copy !req
589. She's tough as an old boot.Copy !req
590. Oh.Copy !req
591. Why don't you just fuck her over
through her friends then?Copy !req
592. Huh?Copy !req
593. You know, why don't you
fuck her friends over?Copy !req
594. Bring her around that way.Copy !req
595. She got any friends you can fuck over?Copy !req
596. Rat bastards.Copy !req
597. - Hey, fuckhead!
- What?Copy !req
598. Don't say, "What," Dixon,
when she comes in calling you a fuckhead!Copy !req
599. - And don't you come in here...
- Shut up!Copy !req
600. You, get over here.Copy !req
601. No! You, get over here.Copy !req
602. - All right.
- What? Don't! Dixon!Copy !req
603. - What?
- You do not allow a member of the publicCopy !req
604. to call you a fuckhead
in the station house!Copy !req
605. That's what I'm doing!
I'm taking care of itCopy !req
606. in my own way, actually.
Now get out of my ass.Copy !req
607. Mrs. Hayes, have a seat.
What is it I can do for you today?Copy !req
608. - Where's Denise Watson?
- Denise Watson's in the clanger.Copy !req
609. - On what charge?
- Possession.Copy !req
610. - Of what?
- Two marijuana cigarettes.Copy !req
611. Big ones.Copy !req
612. - When's the bail hearing?
- I asked the judge not to give her bailCopy !req
613. on account of her previous
marijuana violations,Copy !req
614. and the judge said, "Sure."Copy !req
615. You fucking prick!Copy !req
616. You do not call an officer
of the law a fucking prickCopy !req
617. in his own station house,
Mrs. Hayes.Copy !req
618. Or anywhere, actually.Copy !req
619. What's with the new attitude, Dixon?Copy !req
620. Your momma been coaching ya?Copy !req
621. No.Copy !req
622. My momma...Copy !req
623. doesn't do that.Copy !req
624. Take them down, you hear me?Copy !req
625. You did good, Dixon.Copy !req
626. Yeah, I know I did.Copy !req
627. Almost got that.Copy !req
628. The rules here are twofold.Copy !req
629. No kid can leave
this goddamn blanketCopy !req
630. at any goddamn time.Copy !req
631. And every single oneCopy !req
632. of these dolls
and these teddy bearsCopy !req
633. has got to be hooked up.Copy !req
634. Now, your momma and I,Copy !req
635. although it won't look like it,Copy !req
636. we'll be watching every
goddamn move you make.Copy !req
637. So the most important thing
while we are watching youCopy !req
638. is that you do not
leave this blanket.Copy !req
639. Next most important thing,
you do not at any stageCopy !req
640. allow the fishing rodsCopy !req
641. to stick into you
or your sister's eyeballs,Copy !req
642. as this would be
counter-productiveCopy !req
643. to the entire operation.Copy !req
644. What would it be?Copy !req
645. Counter-productive
to the entire operation.Copy !req
646. Then, troops...Copy !req
647. start fishing.Copy !req
648. We are not.Copy !req
649. We are.Copy !req
650. Yes.Copy !req
651. Yes.Copy !req
652. Yes.Copy !req
653. Hey, baby.Copy !req
654. Yup, still no arrests.Copy !req
655. How come, I wonder?Copy !req
656. Because there ain't no God,
the whole world's empty,Copy !req
657. and it doesn't matter
what we do to each other?Copy !req
658. I hope not.Copy !req
659. How come you came up here
outta nowhere looking so pretty?Copy !req
660. You ain't trying to make me believe
in reincarnation or something, are ya?Copy !req
661. 'Cause you're pretty, but you ain't her.Copy !req
662. She got killed...Copy !req
663. and now she's dead forever.Copy !req
664. I do thank you
for coming though.Copy !req
665. If I had some food
I'd give it to you.Copy !req
666. All I got is some Doritos,Copy !req
667. and they might kill you.
They're kind of pointy.Copy !req
668. Then where would we be?Copy !req
669. Yeah, so I, uh,
just happened to be lookingCopy !req
670. over our contract
that we drew up back that time.Copy !req
671. What I realized was I...Copy !req
672. I realized that
although payment is to be madeCopy !req
673. on the first day of each month,Copy !req
674. the first payment you paid
was actually a deposit.Copy !req
675. Wasn't it? It's like we said.Copy !req
676. So, actually, in point of fact,Copy !req
677. you're actually behind
in your payments now,Copy !req
678. by, yeah, a month.Copy !req
679. Yeah, that's, uh...Copy !req
680. It's what the contract says,
looking over it and all.Copy !req
681. Lawyer says so too.Copy !req
682. When you need this next payment by, Red?Copy !req
683. Well, now, really.Copy !req
684. Or by... uh...Copy !req
685. - Friday?
- Wow.Copy !req
686. When you can't trust the lawyers
and the advertising men,Copy !req
687. what the hell's America coming to, huh?Copy !req
688. Who got to you, Red?Copy !req
689. Willoughby?Copy !req
690. - Nobody got to me.
- My fat fucking ass.Copy !req
691. - He's dying, Mildred.
- We're all fucking dying!Copy !req
692. - Red!
- Hi, Pamela. We're a little bit busyCopy !req
693. - at the moment, if that's okay.
- Red. Oh, Red, I know...Copy !req
694. I know you were real anxious
about talking to Mrs. Hayes this morning.Copy !req
695. Anxious? No.Copy !req
696. No, but that's the thing. There's no need
to be, because you won't believe it!Copy !req
697. Little Mexican delivery boy
just dropped in with this.Copy !req
698. - What the hell is this?
- I know!Copy !req
699. It's $5,000!
And guess what the note says?Copy !req
700. It says to pay for the rental
on Mrs. Hayes's billboards.Copy !req
701. Can you believe it?
That's why I butted in.Copy !req
702. - Well, who's it from?
- Well, doesn't say.Copy !req
703. Well, where's the delivery boy?Copy !req
704. Well, he went.Copy !req
705. Well, did you see
what company he was from?Copy !req
706. - Well, no.
- What kind of uniform did he have on?Copy !req
707. Well, he just looked like one
of those fat little Mexican boys.Copy !req
708. On a bicycle.Copy !req
709. Oh.Copy !req
710. - Did I do something wrong?
- No, no, Pam, you did good.Copy !req
711. Yeah, Pamela, you did real good.Copy !req
712. Did I? Oh, great.Copy !req
713. Ain't life crazy?Copy !req
714. What's the note say, Red?Copy !req
715. Says here, "This here money is
to go towards the fundCopy !req
716. "for Mildred Hayes's billboards,Copy !req
717. "'cause she ain't
the only one 'round hereCopy !req
718. "who hates the pigs.
Signed, a friend."Copy !req
719. I guess you can't be too picky about who
your friends are these days, huh?Copy !req
720. Uh-huh, urn...Copy !req
721. I guess I'll be needing
a receipt off you there, Red,Copy !req
722. you know, saying the price of next monthCopy !req
723. is paid in full and all.Copy !req
724. Oh, sure, Mildred, sure.Copy !req
725. - Like now.
- Oh, sure.Copy !req
726. ls Mommy drunk, Daddy?Copy !req
727. No, no. She's just got
a little migraine, is all.Copy !req
728. Little... Chardonnay migraine.Copy !req
729. Now, no more chit-chat
outta you two, okay?Copy !req
730. Can we stay home from school
again tomorrow, Daddy?Copy !req
731. We'll see what your mommy
says in the morning, darling.Copy !req
732. AW!Copy !req
733. Eyes closed...Copy !req
734. and go to sleep, okay?Copy !req
735. You don't smell like puke,
which is good.Copy !req
736. Aquafresh. Trick I learned.Copy !req
737. Women, huh?Copy !req
738. But it's still your turn
to clean the horseshitCopy !req
739. outta the stable, you know.Copy !req
740. Those fucking horses.Copy !req
741. They're your fucking horses.Copy !req
742. I'm gonna have those
fucking horses shot!Copy !req
743. I'll do it...
you lazy bitch.Copy !req
744. Thank you, Poppa.Copy !req
745. That was a real nice day.Copy !req
746. That was a real nice fuck.Copy !req
747. You got a real nice cock,
Mr. Willoughby.Copy !req
748. Is that from a play?Copy !req
749. "You got a real nice cock,
Mr. Willoughby."Copy !req
750. I think I heard that
in a Shakespeare one time.Copy !req
751. You dummy.Copy !req
752. It's Oscar Wilde.Copy !req
753. Ah.Copy !req
754. Oscar Wilde.Copy !req
755. My darling Anne,Copy !req
756. there's a longer letter
in the dresser drawerCopy !req
757. I've been writing
for the last week or so.Copy !req
758. That one covers us
and my memories of usCopy !req
759. and how much I've always loved you.Copy !req
760. This one just covers tonight,
and more importantly, today.Copy !req
761. Tonight I've gone out
to the horses to end it.Copy !req
762. I cannot say sorry for the act itself,Copy !req
763. although I know that for a short timeCopy !req
764. you will be angry at me
or even hate me for it.Copy !req
765. Please don't.Copy !req
766. This is not a case of,
"I came in this world aloneCopy !req
767. "and I'm going out of it alone,"Copy !req
768. or anything dumb like that.Copy !req
769. I did not come in this world alone,Copy !req
770. my mom was there.Copy !req
771. And I am not going out of it alone,Copy !req
772. 'cause you are there,Copy !req
773. drunk on the couch,
making Oscar Wilde cock jokes.Copy !req
774. No, this is a case,
in some senses, of bravery.Copy !req
775. Not the bravery
of facing a bullet down.Copy !req
776. The next few months of painCopy !req
777. would be far harder
than that small flash.Copy !req
778. No, it's the bravery
of weighing upCopy !req
779. the next few months
of still being with you...Copy !req
780. still waking up with you,
of playing with the kids...Copy !req
781. against the next few months
of seeing in your eyesCopy !req
782. how much my pain is killing you,Copy !req
783. how my weakened body,
as it ebbs away,Copy !req
784. and you tend to it,Copy !req
785. are your final and lasting memories of me.Copy !req
786. I won't have that.Copy !req
787. Your final memories of me
will be us at the riversideCopy !req
788. and that dumb fishing game,
which I think they cheated at...Copy !req
789. and me inside of you
and you on top of me...Copy !req
790. and barely a fleeting thought
of the darkness yet to come.Copy !req
791. That was the best, Anne.Copy !req

809. the only thing to honor

815. Help people.Copy !req

834. for his diligence
and service to the community.Copy !req
835. What led him to take his lifeCopy !req
836. in the early hours of this morning,Copy !req
837. it is too early to speculate.Copy !req
838. There were rumors of illness.Copy !req
839. Could it simply have been
the pressures of the job?Copy !req
840. Or could it have something
to do with a storyCopy !req
841. we ran here just two weeks agoCopy !req
842. of these billboards and the woman
who put them there, Mildred Hayes?Copy !req
843. Don't. Don't!Copy !req

You hard of reading?Copy !req
852. Hard of reading? No, no.Copy !req
853. That's good, "hard of reading."Copy !req
854. Kinda like "hard of hearing,"Copy !req
855. but it's actually "hard of reading."Copy !req
856. Like a play on words
or something, huh?Copy !req
857. What do you want?Copy !req
858. I've been sent down to take over from...Copy !req
859. Chief Willoughby in light
of last night's unfortunate event.Copy !req
860. You have got to be
fucking kidding me!Copy !req

870. - You know, the usual.
- Oh yeah?Copy !req
871. They never taught me

881. Hey, listen, I can't find my badge.Copy !req
882. No, seriously. Maybe I lost it.Copy !req
883. You know, dropped it
when I was doing that window guy.Copy !req
884. Just get the fuck
out of my station house, man.Copy !req
885. What's going on?Copy !req
886. I think I...Copy !req
887. I think I just got fired.Copy !req
888. Fired or suspended,
I'm not sure which.Copy !req
889. Fired.Copy !req
890. Anything I can help you with,
just give me a holler.Copy !req
891. Give Mildred Hayes...Copy !req
892. a holler.Copy !req
893. Okay.Copy !req
894. You know me?Copy !req
895. Only from the TV... and the radio.Copy !req
896. How much these here
"Welcome to Missouri" rabbits go for?Copy !req
897. Seven bucks.Copy !req
898. It's writ right on them.Copy !req
899. Guess he ain't seven bucks now.Copy !req
900. What you come in here for?Copy !req
901. What I come in here for?Copy !req
902. Well, maybe I'm a good friend
of Willoughby's. How about that?Copy !req
903. Are you?Copy !req
904. Or, you know...Copy !req
905. Maybe I was a friend of
your daughter or something.Copy !req
906. How about that?Copy !req
907. Were you?Copy !req
908. Or, uh...Copy !req
909. You know, maybe I was the oneCopy !req
910. who fucked her
while she was dying.Copy !req
911. How about that?Copy !req
912. Were you?Copy !req
913. No.Copy !req
914. I would have liked to.Copy !req
915. I saw her picture in the paper there.Copy !req
916. Saved by the bell, huh?Copy !req
917. You owe me seven fucking
dollars for the rabbit.Copy !req
918. Guess you'll have to get it off me next
time I'm passing through, huh, Mildred?Copy !req
919. Guess I will.Copy !req
920. You don't know how glad I am to see you.Copy !req
921. - What?
- That guy was trying to scare me.Copy !req
922. I wouldn't have said you scare easy.Copy !req
923. I ain't the worst.Copy !req
924. What can I do for you, ma'am?Copy !req
925. My husband left this for youCopy !req
926. before he shot himself
in the head last night.Copy !req
927. - I'm sorry, Mrs. Willoughby. I...
- Are you?Copy !req
928. - Are you really?
- Sure, I am.Copy !req
929. Well, surely this is
the perfect ending for you, isn't it?Copy !req
930. It's proof that they were successful,
those billboards of yours,Copy !req
931. isn't it? A dead policeman?Copy !req
932. - It's quantifiable now.
- Are you blaming this on me?Copy !req
933. No.Copy !req
934. I'm not blaming this on you.Copy !req
935. I just came
to give you the letter.Copy !req
936. Now my little girls are out in the car,Copy !req
937. so I'd better not stay and chat.Copy !req
938. I'm not quite sure what
we're gonna do for the rest of the day.Copy !req
939. It's hard to know what to doCopy !req
940. the day your husband kills himself.Copy !req
941. It's hard to know what to do.Copy !req
942. Dear Mildred...Copy !req
943. Dead Man Willoughby here.Copy !req
944. Firstly, I wanted to apologize for dyingCopy !req
945. without catching your daughter's killer.Copy !req
946. It's a source of great pain to me,Copy !req
947. and it would break my heart to thinkCopy !req
948. you thought I didn't care,
'cause I did care.Copy !req
949. There are just some cases...Copy !req
950. where you never catch a break...Copy !req
951. then five years down the lineCopy !req
952. some guy hears some other guyCopy !req
953. bragging about it
in a bar room or a jail cellCopy !req
954. and the whole thing is wrapped upCopy !req
955. through sheer stupidity.Copy !req
956. I hope that might be true for Angela.
I really do.Copy !req
957. Second, I gotta admit, Mildred,Copy !req
958. the billboards were a great fucking idea.Copy !req
959. They were like a chess move.Copy !req
960. And although they had absolutely nothingCopy !req
961. to do with my dying...Copy !req
962. I'm sure that everyone in townCopy !req
963. will assume that they did,Copy !req
964. which is why,
for Willoughby's counter-move,Copy !req
965. I decided to pay
the next month's rent on 'em.Copy !req
966. I thought it'd be funny,
you having to defend 'emCopy !req
967. a whole nother month
after they've stuck me in the ground.Copy !req
968. The joke is on you, Mildred, ha ha,Copy !req
969. and I hope they do not kill you.Copy !req
970. So good luck with all that,Copy !req
971. and good luck with everything else too.Copy !req
972. I hope and I pray that you get him.Copy !req
973. Well, you want me
to go down and talk to 'em?Copy !req
974. No, I don't want you
to go down and talk to 'em.Copy !req
975. Somebody sending their goddamn motherCopy !req
976. down to talk to the goddamn police?Copy !req
977. To say what?Copy !req
978. To say to give you
your job back.Copy !req
979. Get rid of that black guy.Copy !req
980. Ain't gonna listen to some guy's motherCopy !req
981. asking them to get rid of some black guy.Copy !req
982. Things have moved on in the South.Copy !req
983. Well, it shouldn't have!Copy !req
984. Will they give you some money
for being laid off and all?Copy !req
985. I don't know what
the compensation scheme isCopy !req
986. for when you throw a guy
out of a window, Ma.Copy !req
987. Guess I should have looked
into that beforehand.Copy !req
988. Let me Google that.Copy !req
989. A couple of grand, maybe?Copy !req
990. You been there three years.Copy !req
991. Not counting the five years
at the academy.Copy !req
992. Six...Copy !req
993. if you count the year
you were held back.Copy !req
994. Where are you going?Copy !req
995. None of your business.Copy !req
996. Off to see your fancy woman?Copy !req
997. - I don't got a fancy woman.
- Yeah. I know.Copy !req
998. Hey. You wanna watch yourself.Copy !req
999. Or-or... or you'll do what?Copy !req
1000. I'll blow your goddamn head off,
that's what.Copy !req
1001. Oh, did you hear the news?Copy !req
1002. What news?Copy !req
1003. That Dixon guy threw that Welby guyCopy !req
1004. out of his window this morning.Copy !req
1005. You're shitting me.Copy !req
1006. Is he okay?Copy !req
1007. Mmm-mmm.Copy !req
1008. - You're shitting me!
- Whoa!Copy !req
1009. Holy shit! Holy shit!Copy !req
1010. Holy shit!Copy !req
1011. Fuck!Copy !req
1012. Go get the other one from the house.Copy !req
1013. Shouldn't I call the fire department?Copy !req
1014. Fuck the fire department.
They probably started it.Copy !req
1015. Don't do anything stupid!Copy !req
1016. Scumbags!Copy !req
1017. Fucking, fucking scumbags!Copy !req
1018. Shit!Copy !req
1019. All right!Copy !req
1020. Are you kidding me?Copy !req
1021. Morn! What the hell are you doing?Copy !req
1022. - Yeah. Okay. All right. Good. Come on.
- Leave it! Ma, please!Copy !req
1023. It's too late!Copy !req
1024. - Robbie.
- Leave it! Please!Copy !req
1025. Robbie!Copy !req
1026. How are those hands?Copy !req
1027. Give us a minute here. Thank you.Copy !req
1028. Can I ask you a couple of questions?Copy !req
1029. Can ask me all the questions you want,Copy !req
1030. you take me down and arrest me.Copy !req
1031. I'm not gonna arrest you, Mrs. Hayes.Copy !req
1032. I got nothing to arrest you for.Copy !req
1033. Not yet you ain't.Copy !req
1034. We ain't all the enemy, you know.Copy !req
1035. I'll crucify the motherfuckers.Copy !req
1036. What are you gonna do, Mildred?Copy !req
1037. You gonna crucify 'em?Copy !req
1038. Yeah, I'm gonna crucify 'em.Copy !req
1039. Who you gonna crucify?Copy !req
1040. The motherfuckers?Copy !req
1041. Yeah, I'm gonna crucify the motherfuckers.Copy !req
1042. Ooh, then those motherfuckersCopy !req
1043. better watch out, all right?Copy !req
1044. Fucking A.Copy !req
1045. Oh, what's this shit?Copy !req
1046. And as sad as the spectacleCopy !req
1047. of these burned out billboards might be,Copy !req
1048. in light of the death of Chief Willoughby,Copy !req
1049. this reporter for oneCopy !req
1050. wonders if this finally puts an endCopy !req
1051. to the strange saga
of the three billboards outside...Copy !req
1052. This doesn't put an end to shit,
you fucking retard!Copy !req
1053. This is just the fucking start!Copy !req
1054. Why don't you put that
on your Good Morning MissouriCopy !req
1055. fucking Wake Up broadcast, bitch!Copy !req
1056. I see on the TV
there were a bunch of firesCopy !req
1057. lit outside of town last night.Copy !req
1058. Bunch of fires, huh?Copy !req
1059. Out at those billboards.Copy !req
1060. Yeah, well, back when I was a cop,Copy !req
1061. I would have been interested
in who set those fires,Copy !req
1062. because, technically, that's arson.Copy !req
1063. But, as I'm no longer
employed by those people,Copy !req
1064. I don't really give a good goddamn,
now do I?Copy !req
1065. I'll get it.Copy !req
1066. Dixon residence.Copy !req
1067. Hey, Dixon, it's Cedric.Copy !req
1068. Oh, hey, Sarge. Got any news?Copy !req
1069. - News about what?
- I don't know.Copy !req
1070. About my job and stuff?Copy !req
1071. No. No. What?Copy !req
1072. No. Uh...Copy !req
1073. Anne Willoughby just dropped in a letterCopy !req
1074. that... Bill wrote you before he died.Copy !req
1075. What's it say?Copy !req
1076. Oh, I haven't read it, Dixon.
It's not my letter.Copy !req
1077. Oh, well, listen,
I'll... I'll come right down.Copy !req
1078. Urn, I'll be there
in like 15 minutes.Copy !req
1079. Well... Uh...Copy !req
1080. Yeah, I d...
I don't think that'd be such a great idea,Copy !req
1081. things as they stand, Jason.Copy !req
1082. You... you still got your keysCopy !req
1083. to the station house, though, right?Copy !req
1084. Yeah.Copy !req
1085. Well, why don't you come and pick it upCopy !req
1086. after everyone's gone home?Copy !req
1087. I can leave it on your desk for you.Copy !req
1088. On, okay.Copy !req
1089. Actually, yeah, then...Copy !req
1090. when you're done, you can... you can...Copy !req
1091. just leave the keys...Copy !req
1092. you know, save us picking 'em up later.Copy !req
1093. All right.Copy !req
1094. Jason, Willoughby here.Copy !req
1095. I'm dead now. Sorry about that.Copy !req
1096. There's something I wanted to say to youCopy !req
1097. that I never really said when I was alive.Copy !req
1098. I think you've got the makingsCopy !req
1099. of being a really good cop, Jason.Copy !req
1100. And you know why?Copy !req
1101. Because deep down you're a decent man.Copy !req
1102. I know you don't think I think that,Copy !req
1103. but I do, dipshit.Copy !req
1104. I do think you're too angry, though.Copy !req
1105. And I know it's all since your dad diedCopy !req
1106. and you had to go
look after your mom and all.Copy !req
1107. But as long as you hold on
to so much hate, then I don't thinkCopy !req
1108. you're ever gonna become...Copy !req
1109. what I know you wanna become.Copy !req
1110. A detective.Copy !req
1111. Because you know what you needCopy !req
1112. to become a detective?Copy !req
1113. And I know you're gonna wince
when I say this...Copy !req
1114. But what you need
to become a detective... is love.Copy !req
1115. Fuck 'em.Copy !req
1116. Because through love comes calm,Copy !req
1117. and through calm comes thought.Copy !req
1118. And you need thought
to detect stuff sometimes, Jason.Copy !req
1119. It's kinda all you need.Copy !req
1120. You don't even need a gun.Copy !req
1121. And you definitely don't need hate.Copy !req
1122. Hate never solved nothing.Copy !req
1123. But calm did. And thought did.Copy !req
1124. Try it. Try it just for a change.Copy !req
1125. No one will think you're gay.Copy !req
1126. And if they do,
arrest them for homophobia.Copy !req
1127. Won't they be surprised?Copy !req
1128. Good luck to you, Jason.
You're a decent man.Copy !req
1129. And yeah, you've had a run of bad luck...Copy !req
1130. but things are gonna change
for you. I can feel it.Copy !req
1131. Calm.Copy !req
1132. Calm.Copy !req
1133. Calm.Copy !req
1134. So, what'd you see?Copy !req
1135. Well, when we turned
the corner from Spring,Copy !req
1136. the fire was already raging,Copy !req
1137. and about two seconds later the cop fella,Copy !req
1138. - he just jumps out of the window.
- Wait.Copy !req
1139. The two of you turned
the corner from Spring?Copy !req
1140. - Where were you before this?
- Round... round my place.Copy !req
1141. You two boyfriend and girlfriend?Copy !req
1142. Early stages, you know.Copy !req
1143. Is that right?Copy !req
1144. We had a couple dates.Copy !req
1145. You wanna go out to dinner
with me next week?Copy !req
1146. Yeah, I'll go out to dinner with ya.Copy !req
1147. But I ain't gonna fuck ya.Copy !req
1148. Well, I... I ain't gonna fuck you neither.Copy !req

1160. I... I'm sorry, Welby.Copy !req
1161. - You know me?
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
1162. You're sorry... sorry for what?Copy !req
1163. For throwing you out the window.Copy !req
1164. I'm sorry, man.Copy !req
1165. I don't care!Copy !req
1166. Stop fucking crying, God damn it!Copy !req
1167. The salt'll just fuck up your wounds.Copy !req
1168. I thought salt
was supposed to be good for your wounds.Copy !req
1169. What am I, a fucking doctor?Copy !req
1170. Who is it?Copy !req
1171. Oh, you don't know me really.Copy !req
1172. Well, what do you want?Copy !req
1173. I come about the billboards.Copy !req
1174. - What about 'em?
- They got burned up.Copy !req
1175. I know that.Copy !req
1176. I'm one of the guys
who put 'em up in the first place.Copy !req
1177. Jerome.Copy !req
1178. What can I do for you, Jerome?Copy !req
1179. Well, when you put up
a bunch of posters like that,Copy !req
1180. just in case any of them
get screwed up or torn, they, uh...Copy !req
1181. give you a set of duplicates, you know?Copy !req
1182. No, I didn't know that.Copy !req

1193. No, she was with me the whole night.Copy !req

1223. Once the gasoline kicked in
she was hot.Copy !req
1224. I swear, I wanted
to fuck her even more right then.Copy !req
1225. I don't know if I could
get that out of my mind.Copy !req

1251. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
1252. He ain't wearing no badge.Copy !req
1253. I lost my badge.Copy !req
1254. Can't remember where I lost it.Copy !req
1255. Hey, you started this, man!
I didn't do shit to you!Copy !req
1256. I know I started it.Copy !req
1257. I scratched you up like a bitch.Copy !req
1258. That's exactly fucking right.Copy !req
1259. I'm gonna go use the little boy's room.Copy !req
1260. You got something to say to me?Copy !req
1261. If I'd known, we could have double dated.Copy !req
1262. Doesn't shit girl have
a curfew weeknights?Copy !req
1263. No. No.Copy !req
1264. In fact, I was actually gonna take her
to the circus later,Copy !req
1265. but there's no need now.
Does he juggle?Copy !req
1266. Look, I'm having one dinner with the guy,
'cause he did me a favor, okay?Copy !req
1267. You don't have to explain yourself to meCopy !req
1268. 'cause you're having dinner
with a midget, Mildred.Copy !req
1269. I'm not explaining myself to you.Copy !req
1270. You kind of are.Copy !req
1271. Look, I didn't come over here
to break your balls.Copy !req
1272. You can date as many midgets as you want.Copy !req
1273. No.Copy !req
1274. No, I came over to say
I was sorry, actually.Copy !req
1275. Sorry for what?Copy !req
1276. Sorry about what happened
to your billboards and all.Copy !req
1277. Yeah, well, it's all water

1278. Good.Copy !req
1279. I'm glad. I was pretty drunk,
but it still don't excuse it.Copy !req
1280. All this anger, man.Copy !req
1281. Penelope said to me the other day...Copy !req
1282. "It just begets greater anger."Copy !req
1283. You know?Copy !req
1284. It's true.Copy !req
1285. Penelope said, "Begets"?Copy !req
1286. Yeah.Copy !req
1287. "It begets greater anger."Copy !req
1288. Well...Copy !req
1289. You take care of this
little lady, okay, sport?Copy !req
1290. Big lady compared to you, right?Copy !req
1291. - You all right?
- I think I wanna go home now.Copy !req
1292. Don't give me any shit, James.Copy !req
1293. We'll do it another night, all right?Copy !req
1294. Why would I want to do it another night?Copy !req
1295. You've been...Copy !req
1296. embarrassed to be here
ever since we arrived.Copy !req
1297. Oh, for Christ sake.Copy !req
1298. I didn't force you
to come on this date, all right?Copy !req
1299. You forced me.Copy !req
1300. F... forced you?Copy !req
1301. I asked you on a date.
Wow.Copy !req
1302. You know...Copy !req
1303. I know
I'm not that much of a catch.Copy !req
1304. I know I'm a dwarf who sells used carsCopy !req
1305. and has a drinking problem. I know that.Copy !req
1306. But who the hell are you, man?Copy !req
1307. You're that billboard lady
who never smiles,Copy !req
1308. never has a good word
to say about anybody,Copy !req
1309. and who, in the evening times,Copy !req
1310. sets fucking fire to police stations!Copy !req
1311. And I'm the one who's not a catch?Copy !req
1312. Hey!Copy !req
1313. You know, I didn't have to
come and hold your ladder.Copy !req
1314. Now, don't make a scene.Copy !req
1315. Did you really tell him
"Anger begets greater anger"?Copy !req
1316. Oh! Yes! I did.Copy !req
1317. I didn't make it up
myself though.Copy !req
1318. I can't claim that.Copy !req
1319. No, I read it on a bookmark...Copy !req
1320. which was in a book I was reading...Copy !req
1321. about polio.Copy !req
1322. Polo. No.
Which is the one with the horses?Copy !req
1323. Polio or polo?Copy !req
1324. - Polo.
- Polo.Copy !req
1325. Be nice to her, Charlie.Copy !req
1326. You got that?Copy !req
1327. Jason!Copy !req
1328. - Jason. Jason!
- Don't look at me.Copy !req
1329. - Don't look at me!
- What have they done to you?Copy !req
1330. - Leave me, Momma!
- Are you...Copy !req
1331. No. No! Oh!Copy !req
1332. Oh, don't lock me...Copy !req
1333. Open up this door!Copy !req
1334. Please, Jason.Copy !req
1335. Let me help you. Please.Copy !req
1336. You're my baby boy.
Open this door.Copy !req
1337. Please.Copy !req
1338. Jason, please.Copy !req
1339. Please.Copy !req
1340. Please open the door.Copy !req
1341. Open up!Copy !req
1342. Jason!Copy !req
1343. I'm all right, Momma.Copy !req
1344. It's all gonna be all right.Copy !req
1345. I don't wanna get
your hopes up, all right,Copy !req
1346. but there is a guy, and I thinkCopy !req
1347. he might be the guy. I got his DNA.Copy !req
1348. Got a lot of it, actually.Copy !req
1349. They're making the checks as we speak.Copy !req
1350. He's in jail?Copy !req
1351. No, but he ain't gonna be hard to find.Copy !req
1352. Why do you think he's the guy?Copy !req
1353. I heard him talking aboutCopy !req
1354. something he did to a girl
the middle of last year.Copy !req
1355. I couldn't hear all of it, but...Copy !req
1356. It sounded a lot like
what happened to Angela.Copy !req
1357. And then he beat
the crap out of me.Copy !req
1358. But because of that...Copy !req
1359. I got a bunch of his DNA.Copy !req
1360. So, I wanted to...Copy !req
1361. let you know sooner rather than later.Copy !req
1362. I didn't want you
to give up hope, you know?Copy !req
1363. I've been trying not to.Copy !req
1364. Well...Copy !req
1365. all you can do is try.Copy !req
1366. As my momma says...Copy !req
1367. not so much about hope as about...Copy !req
1368. well, I didn't used to be
very good at English at school.Copy !req
1369. So it was more
"All you can do is tryCopy !req
1370. "to not be so crap at English."Copy !req
1371. Because you need English,
really, if you wanna be a cop.Copy !req
1372. If you wanna be anything, really.Copy !req
1373. Unless you live in Mexico or something.Copy !req
1374. Who wants that?Copy !req
1375. Hey, Dixon?Copy !req
1376. Thank you.Copy !req
1377. You did good, Jason.Copy !req
1378. You did real good.Copy !req
1379. But he wasn't the guy.Copy !req
1380. What?Copy !req
1381. There was no match to the DNA.Copy !req
1382. No matches to any other crimes
of this nature.Copy !req
1383. To any crimes at all, in fact.Copy !req
1384. And his record is clean.Copy !req
1385. Maybe he was just bragging.Copy !req
1386. - He wasn't just bragging.
- Well, that's as may be.Copy !req
1387. But at the time of Angela's death...Copy !req
1388. he wasn't even in the country.Copy !req
1389. Where was he?Copy !req
1390. Well, I've seen his records
of entry and exit to the States,Copy !req
1391. and I've spoken to his commanding officer.Copy !req
1392. He wasn't in the country, Dixon.
He ain't our guy.Copy !req
1393. Uh, no, he...Copy !req
1394. He... he might not be our guy,Copy !req
1395. but he still done something shitty.Copy !req
1396. I know he did.Copy !req
1397. Not in Missouri he didn't.Copy !req
1398. Where was he?Copy !req
1399. That's classified information.Copy !req
1400. Oh, come on, man.Copy !req
1401. If the guy has a commanding officer,Copy !req
1402. and if the guy got back to the country
nine months ago,Copy !req
1403. and if the country
where he was is classified,Copy !req
1404. which country
do you think he was in?Copy !req
1405. Hey, you know...Copy !req
1406. I'll give you a clue.Copy !req
1407. It was sandy.Copy !req
1408. That doesn't really narrow it down.Copy !req
1409. All you need to know is thatCopy !req
1410. he didn't do nothing to Angela Hayes,Copy !req
1411. so... we're gonna keep looking.Copy !req
1412. All right?Copy !req
1413. I found my badge after all.Copy !req
1414. Hello?Copy !req
1415. It's Dixon.Copy !req
1416. Tell me.Copy !req
1417. He wasn't the guy.Copy !req
1418. Mildred?Copy !req
1419. Are you sure?Copy !req
1420. He... he wasn't even in
the country when it happened.Copy !req
1421. So, whatever he did...Copy !req
1422. he didn't do it round here.Copy !req
1423. I'm sorry I got your hopes up.Copy !req
1424. Well, that's all right. That's all right.Copy !req
1425. At least I had a day of hoping,Copy !req
1426. and that's more than I've had for a while.Copy !req
1427. I gotta go.Copy !req
1428. There was, uh...Copy !req
1429. There was one thing I was thinking.Copy !req
1430. What's that?Copy !req
1431. I know he ain't your rapist.Copy !req
1432. He is a rapist, though.
I'm sure of that.Copy !req
1433. What are you saying to me?Copy !req
1434. Got his license plate.Copy !req
1435. I know where he lives.Copy !req
1436. Where's he live?Copy !req
1437. He lives in Idaho.Copy !req
1438. That's funny.Copy !req
1439. I'm driving to Idaho
in the morning.Copy !req
1440. Want some company?Copy !req
1441. Sure.Copy !req
1442. - Hey, Dixon?
- Yeah?Copy !req
1443. I need to tell you something.Copy !req
1444. It was me that burned down
the police station.Copy !req
1445. Why, who the hell else
would it have been?Copy !req
1446. Dixon?Copy !req
1447. Yup?Copy !req
1448. - Are you sure about this?
- About killing this guy?Copy !req
1449. Not really. You?Copy !req
1450. Not really.Copy !req
1451. I guess we can decide
along the way.Copy !req
