00:33:39 False load slips,

00:33:47 Yes, sir,
00:33:49 Thank you.
00:33:51 Can I help you
00:33:52 I hope so.
00:33:53 This is my office.
00:33:55 Oh, my God,
00:33:56 I'm sorry.
00:33:58 a call came in for me
00:34:00 and I just...
00:34:01 anyway,
00:34:04 Everyone calls me Rosie,
00:34:06 It's nice to meet you,
00:34:13 "Your detective's
00:34:15 are going to hurt you
00:34:18 That's courtesy of that prick
00:34:20 Bubba Broussard
00:34:22 So you called the FBI?
00:34:23 The FBI's been trying
00:34:26 for over a year now
00:34:28 And they still have
00:34:31 That's why I think
00:34:34 to that Cherry LeBlanc case.
00:34:37 Now, Balboni
00:34:39 for Mr. Michael Goldman
00:34:43 I think you, too,
00:34:49 There are 17 unsolved
00:34:51 that share some
00:34:53 And ten of them share
00:34:56 All show marks
00:34:58 all young,
00:35:00 One was a high school girl.
00:35:01 Two were waitresses.
00:35:03 And four were prostitutes.
00:35:07 The FBI has an informational advantage
00:35:13 How do you like
00:35:15 Uh, it's interesting.
00:35:21 If you found the remains
00:35:23 and he had no belt,
00:35:25 what speculation
00:35:28 Obviously he'd been in jail,
00:35:31 some place where they were
00:35:33 That's what I think.
00:35:47 Mud bugs,
00:35:50 This one
00:36:01 Get out of here.
00:36:15 Hey, Dave, you ought
00:36:18 It's free.
00:36:19 Thanks.
00:36:23 See that man
00:36:25 Twinky Hebert LeMoyne.
00:36:27 That's the other half
00:36:29 What's he doing here?
00:36:31 He's an investor
00:36:32 and trying to get laid.
00:36:34 That's funny.
00:36:36 You like doing business
00:36:39 It's good for me.
00:36:41 For him,
00:36:42 I mean, if there's a business
00:36:45 you can be sure
00:36:59 Take a picture?
00:37:00 What?
00:37:01 Yeah.
00:40:27 I'm General John Bell Hood,
00:40:32 commander of the
00:40:35 the 5th Texas Cavalry,
00:40:37 and the 17th Texas Infantry.
00:40:43 Do you object
00:40:44 Am I dead?
00:40:46 You don't look
00:40:48 You were at Gettysburg.
00:40:50 It's never over.
00:40:51 I would think
00:40:54 You were a lieutenant in the
00:40:57 My head hurts.
00:41:01 sure does hurt.
00:41:02 Venal and evll people
00:41:06 you were born in.
00:41:08 It's us against them,
00:41:10 Don't compromise your principles
00:41:15 Do you know what's waiting
00:41:18 For one reason or another,
00:41:22 I find I have more insight
00:41:25 Try to keep
00:41:28 It's just like when
00:41:30 with horseshoes
00:41:33 You'd think the barrage
00:41:36 Then all of a sudden,
00:41:39 louder than the cannon flre.
00:41:41 Please don't be alarmed
00:41:48 Have a good night, Lieutenant.
00:42:11 Paramedics who brought you in
00:42:13 said you were talking
00:42:16 out in the swamp.
00:42:17 It was an usual night.
00:42:19 What's the possibillity that one
00:42:22 laced your Dr. Pepper?
00:42:23 Do what?
00:42:24 The tox screen came back
00:42:28 I need to talk
00:42:33 The sheriff
00:42:34 You talked to him
00:42:37 What'd I say?
00:42:39 Nothing that made
00:42:46 When you reel him in
00:42:48 his little legs and tail
00:42:54 Makes the black bass hungry.
00:43:00 How would you define
00:43:10 Well, it's knowing something
00:43:17 I think there's two ways
00:43:18 of looking at
00:43:22 One is, if you don't look,
00:43:25 And the other is,
00:43:27 you might see
00:43:33 You might not be over those drugs
00:43:36 I know General John Bell Hood
00:43:39 just like he was
00:44:00 Are you accusing me
00:44:02 When you do business with a man
00:44:04 you create a certain amount
00:44:07 I don't do business
00:44:09 I don't do anything
00:44:10 I'm a member
00:44:13 that have put money
00:44:17 in New Iberia.
00:44:19 Investing in the local economy,
00:44:22 Are your employees
00:44:24 No, they certainly are not.
00:44:27 You own half of a security
00:44:29 don't you?
00:44:30 That's right,
00:44:32 And your partner
00:44:34 is a Teamster steward
00:44:36 I think you're involved in
00:44:38 Mr. LeMoyne.
00:44:39 You'll have to excuse me,
00:44:42 I've got
00:44:45 I have a lot of people
00:44:48 Would you like
00:44:50 for a next door neighbor?
00:44:51 Would you like to have
00:44:54 working for him?
00:44:55 Mr. Roblcheaux,
00:44:56 I can't express to you
00:45:01 Did you get

00:46:30 They hire a man
00:46:34 Do you remember what
00:46:36 He wasn't charged
00:46:38 Never got to that.

00:49:37 I don't want to walk
00:50:06 What are you having?

00:50:09 Short, skinny,
00:50:11 maybe weigh 100 pounds
00:50:12 - Yeah.
00:50:13 What you drinking?
00:50:14 - Dr. Pepper.
00:50:18 I could call somebody,
00:50:22 Why don't you do that?

00:51:26 Dave,
00:51:31 Shooter fired at me twice.
00:51:32 I put eight rounds
00:51:34 I think
00:51:45 Looks like she took one
00:51:47 What you mean, "she"?
00:51:50 You just popped
00:51:54 There's no fucking gun.
00:52:10 There's no gun, man.

00:52:40 I opened up
00:52:44 You thought your life
00:52:49 I hope you don't mind
00:52:50 No.
00:52:55 You shouldn't have remorse.
00:52:57 A desire to live doesn't mean
00:53:01 Somebody's trying
00:53:03 Can't believe what I see
00:53:09 They say I killed
00:53:13 I think that would
00:53:16 I keep seeing that woman,
00:53:20 her hair glued down
00:53:24 Think about
00:53:26 You're an intelligent man.
00:53:29 What does
00:53:34 I need help.
00:53:38 The wind's
00:53:40 There'll be thunder
00:53:43 It'll sound
00:53:45 but it'll only be thunder.
00:53:49 General...
00:53:56 What time is it?
00:54:07 Why would Amber Martinez
00:54:09 of her own car?
00:54:12 What did
00:54:14 have to say last night?
00:54:15 He told me
00:54:17 Everybody thinks
00:54:20 There's not
00:54:21 There's no casings.
00:54:23 And there's no gun.
00:54:26 It was a setup, Dave.

00:54:40 Can't be messing around
00:54:42 I'm really just

00:54:49 Do you have
00:54:50 Why piss people off,
00:54:54 St. Martin Parish ain't going
00:54:56 but if I were you,
00:54:59 You might piss me off.
00:55:09 Well, from the size of the wound
00:55:12 I'd say a .45 killed her.
00:55:14 Look at her head.
00:55:15 I only use hollow-point
00:55:22 It ain't no hollow point
00:55:25 Her hair was stuck to the carpet,
00:55:31 Did she die in that car,
00:55:39 Her blood lividity tells me
00:55:41 that she was dead before
00:55:45 If I can vacuum the Buick,
00:55:48 I saw muzzle flashes
00:55:51 I didn't see no bullet holes

01:05:27 Yeah.
01:05:29 Get down by the bow
01:05:31 when I put the motors
01:05:33 Hey, are there
01:05:35 Oh, hell yeah.
01:05:38 They're not hungry, though.
01:05:40 All right.
01:05:48 Put on a life jacket, El.
01:05:50 Okay, honey.
01:05:52 I swam
01:05:54 Watch out
01:05:56 What?
01:06:03 Don't worry about him.
01:06:04 That water's
01:06:06 I've got to give him
01:06:07 He'd drown
01:06:15 Here you go.
01:06:17 It's nothing personal,
01:06:21 But I think you're a very fine,
01:06:27 I'm already soaked.
01:07:11 I was burdened greatly
01:07:13 by the deaths of those
01:07:17 But incorporating
01:07:20 into our own lives does not
01:07:35 An act of kindness,
01:07:39 one as simple
01:07:43 had resulted
01:07:50 The shooter
01:07:53 no ejected brass,
01:07:54 no recoverable prints.
01:07:57 We had no suspects.
01:08:02 But one heart-sinking
01:08:03 and unalterable
01:08:07 Kelly Drummond was dead.
01:08:10 And she was dead because
01:08:15 The tragic death

01:08:19 and star of the popular
01:08:21 River Valley,
01:08:23 to have been a case
01:08:26 Sources within
01:08:27 conflrmed that
01:08:30 may have been intended
01:08:42 I'm going to miss her, Dave.

01:08:57 Guy's in bad shape.
01:08:59 This is our home.

01:09:07 The guy needs an AA friend,
01:09:10 So what?
01:09:11 Tell you what,
01:09:14 First time he takes a drink,
01:09:16 he gets 86ed
01:09:17 to his movie star
01:09:20 He pays for his share
01:09:21 He does not
01:09:23 He does not come in late.
01:09:26 Okay, but only
01:09:41 Do you like
01:09:47 It's just a job, honey.
01:09:48 Really?
01:09:51 It's like Dave.
01:09:52 You think he enjoys
01:09:54 catching the bad guys,
01:09:55 making the good people
01:09:57 Yeah.
01:09:58 Yeah, well...
01:10:01 I like my job.

01:10:24 I hate that picture.
01:10:28 Well, 50 movie posters
01:10:31 will fetch $25,000.
01:10:33 That's four roofs,
01:10:36 eight with volunteer labor.
01:10:39 Here's your felt-tip pen.
01:10:53 The worst thing
01:10:55 is eat his own gun.
01:10:58 Lou Girard

01:11:38 The sink is full
01:11:39 Where's the gun at?
01:11:42 By the bedside.
01:11:43 If Lou Girard wanted
01:11:45 how come he didn't use
01:11:48 'Cause he was drunk
01:11:50 Not an unusual condition
01:11:53 He was helping me
01:11:56 And?
01:11:57 Maybe he found out something
01:11:59 somebody did not
01:12:03 He was trembling,
01:12:06 in front of everybody.
01:12:09 There's no big mystery
01:12:11 He was a good cop.
01:12:14 He was a sorry-ass drunk.
01:12:19 Now, if you want to look

01:17:53 You know how it works.
01:17:54 A guy like Julie

01:24:47 Nothing good
01:24:50 Murphy Doucet
01:24:55 Did you hear
01:24:56 That's too bad.
01:24:57 I don't like
01:24:59 It upsets me.
01:25:03 Hey, maybe you can get her face
01:25:14 Where's my daughter, Julie?
01:25:38 Where's Alafair at?
01:25:39 I cut Doucet loose.
01:25:41 I got nothing to do
01:25:44 You get off
01:25:45 or I swear to God,
01:25:48 Cop or not,

01:25:57 Your window of opportunity's
01:25:58 Where's my baby girl?
01:26:00 I'm telling you
01:26:02 I got nothing to do
01:26:03 He's a geek.
01:26:04 I don't hire geeks.
01:26:12 Last by God chance.
01:26:16 He's got a camp
01:26:18 almost at Atchafalaya Basin.
01:26:22 The deed's
01:26:23 Nobody knows about it.
01:26:25 It's at the end
01:26:28 by the salt marsh.
01:26:32 Alafair there?
01:26:36 I hope to God
01:30:06 Alfie!
01:30:17 Come here.
01:30:18 Did he hurt you, baby?
01:30:20 I told him
01:30:21 I told him
01:30:24 I just shot a man
01:30:27 No, no.
01:30:29 He had a gun on him.
01:30:31 You just don't
01:30:35 You okay?
01:31:20 Should I call my lawyer?
01:31:23 Mr. LeMoyne,
01:31:26 I saw you
01:31:30 kill DeWitt Prejean
01:31:36 I watched it
01:31:40 Your crippled brother
01:31:41 so you did it for him.
01:31:47 Am I under arrest?
01:31:48 I think Murphy Doucet's
01:31:51 all these years.
01:31:54 A lot of bad things happened
01:31:57 between the races.
01:31:58 But we're not
01:32:01 we were then,
01:32:03 I think we are.
01:32:06 You seem unable
01:32:11 It's been my experience
01:32:13 that you let go of the past
01:32:17 Please, leave.
01:32:19 It won't make
01:32:21 You're going to drag this one
01:32:23 every day,
01:32:27 for the rest of your life.
01:32:31 Have you no mercy, sir?
01:32:35 No, sir.
01:32:38 No, sir, I don't.
01:33:01 Julie Balboni
01:33:04 but in a way
01:33:06 in a beef
01:33:09 They shipped Baby Feet
01:33:12 at Leavenworth, Kansas,
01:33:14 a place that,
01:33:15 makes you believe
01:33:17 that sub-zero winds blow from
01:33:25 Elrod Sykes
01:33:28 He brought Alafair to the set
01:33:30 and gave her a little part
01:33:32 Months later,
01:33:35 he called us from California
01:33:36 to say that Alafair
01:33:47 I thought in the morning mists
01:33:49 I might again see
01:33:53 just a glimpse,
01:33:54 a doff of his hat,
01:33:57 the kindness
01:33:59 the beleaguered affection
01:34:01 that always seemed
01:34:08 Then as the days passed
01:34:09 and I began to let go of all the
01:34:12 I came to accept that the
01:34:16 was only a figment
01:34:19 there to remind me
01:34:22 that the contest
01:34:25 the field never quite ours.
01:35:21 Dave?
