I don't want any trouble in here Greyfeather. - Of course I just want a drink. - Hey old man. You're not welcome here, now you get your ass outta here. - Billy I don't think he can hear you with that hat he has one. - Yeah. Let's loosen up his little cap here. Pick up the hat. Well if it ain't Pancho Junior. - You pick up the hat. - Pick it up. - Fuck you, you pick it up. Come on bitch. - Hey! - Get off me you red nigger! - Oh yeah I want a piece of you. Come on!

I don't want this place broke up again, I mean it Billy! - Jason, take me home. Come Jason. - I'll see you down the road pal. - Hey hold on a second. Boy am I glad I ran into you. I just broke my shoe, Christ I thought I'd never get to civilization. Why don't you dump the old man, and you and I can go to a party someplace. You know this isn't the best part of town for a little girl so why don't you just go home. Come on go home, get outta here, go on, go home. - Let me go, what the hell are you doing? - Just go home, get outta here. - Jason! I bet a lot of people around here would like to know you're into little girls, little white girls! - Go home. - Either of you guys got a match? - I don't smoke. - Hank don't do nothing bad. But I think I could help you out. - So why don't you do nothing wrong Hank? - It's not that I don't do anything wrong. - Come on Hank don't be shy. His old man's the sheriff around here. - Oh Jesus Christ! Guess I should've broken it to her a little easier. It's no big deal, I'm not gonna say anything about that, I smoke every now and then. So uh? I didn't get your name. - I don't think I gave it out. - Come on Hank I don't need this shit. Nice meeting you. - Hey wait a minute where are you going? We don't need your act lady, we got things to do. You guys are upset with girls or just yourselves? - Maybe you'd like to go for a ride. - Maybe I would. - Name's Johnny, this is my truck. - I'm Melissa. " So? - So let's go! I'll be back in an hour. - How the hell am I supposed to get home? I'll be back in an hour! Come on Johnny, my dad thinks I'm coming home. Hey come on you guys! - You got a cigarette? No I don't got a cigarette, come on back down here. - Wait a minute! Just take it easy. Where the hell are we anyway? - What do you care, want a beer? - It's pretty weird out here. - You like dead Indians? - What are you talking about? - This is the old Indian burial grounds. - Oh shit, get me outta here. - We're just starting to have some fun. - I wanna get outta here. - All right all right, Jesus Christ! You know you're weird lady. - Open the door, open the door goddammit! Open the door, open it goddammit! My old man's an archeologist, he's here on some kind of a dig, we're renting this place for a couple of months. Well you picked place in the county. - Mom knew somebody I guess, she used to be from around here. Oh shit! - Now what? - My dad's home! " So? - So he freaks if I come home stoned. - So who's stoned? Look, you gotta tell him we were at the library or something. - Okay. But they don't have a library in this town. - Dad what are you doing out here? - L just got home, where have you been? - Out. - I asked you a question young lady. - I was out okay? - When I ask you a question... Hey wait a minute, everbody be cool here. We went for a ride and had a couple of beers. - Thanks a lot Johnny. - What's the big deal? - My daughter is 15 years old. - I'll be 16 next week. - Melissa get in the house. - Hey mister take it easy. - And you get outta here. - Hey I'll leave when I'm ready old man. Daddy no, I'm going, see ya later Johnny. - Yeah, I guess that's the party, later. - If I see you around my daughter again I'll have you put in jail. Can't hear a thing you're saying old man, gotta get this truck tuned, catch ya later. Nice going Billy, could've at least left me some gas. Shit. Damn, outside here. Out of gas... Coming out here... with an ax. - Wrong. - Come on. Morning Dad. - Out a little late last night huh? - I knew it, the gardener did it. With the rake? - Would you put that book away? It's not supposed to be a rake, how do you kill somebody with a rake? - Well am I gonna have to interrogate you or are you gonna tell me where you were? - Had to walk home. I thought that Johnny was supposed to give you a ride home? - Yeah, so did I. He met somebody and took off. - Hmm. - I'll get it. - Well you should've called. - Dad it's Billy Franklin. - Thank you honey. I told you we can't afford a car right now so you're just gonna have to wait and hang in till we can. Okay? - Yeah. - Okay. - You walked all the way home last night. - I am gonna kill Johnny. - Hi Billy. - So he dumped you huh? - Yeah. - He didn't dump me, he met someone, and they went for a ride. - Who was it? Dianne Martin, I'll bet you anything it was Dianne Martin. - It wasn't Dianne Martin. - But it was a girl! So what's the big deal, it was a girl. - I knew it. - All right. Look we gotta jump, Johnny Franklin didn't make it home last night, and Billy's screaming about his truck so I figured we'd take a look at the back road on the way into town. - Missing person big deal. Why can't anything exciting ever happen around here. Yeah like a mad gardener stalking his victims with a rake? - It's better than nothing. - Hey hey you two hard of hearing here, come on let's go, let's jump! He didn't say where he was going with his girl did he? No he didn't Dad, although I'm sure they went up to the reservation. - Hey you two! You know you're not supposed to go up there, that's sacred Indian ground and plus it's private property. - Dad everbody goes up there. I personally have never been up there though. - Isn't that his truck? - Yeah that's it. - Hmm. No sign of foul play. Doesn't look like an accident. - Marci. - Sir? - Do you mind if I do the investigating. Not at all, I'll just be up the road if you need me. - Thank you. - You're welcome. - Thank you very much. - Yeah. - What do you think happened to him, Dad? I don't know, he probably ran outta gas and walked home. Got tired, waking up in some field around here now. Yeah some new girl she said her name was Melissa. Looks like multiple stab wounds in the back, the arms and the chest, somebody really did a number on him Dan. All right look Frank, I don't want you to release any information on this till you hear from me. I want you to go down to the morgue and stay with the coroner till he's through with the body. I want a report on my desk this afternoon. - I'll do my best. - Frank. You better call Billy and tell him about his brother. You guys all right? - We're okay Dad. - What do think it was, a bear? A bear, Marci are you sure you're all right? - I'm fine. A dead body practically falls on top of her and she says she's all right, hah, cute. This Melissa seems to be best lead we got, we'd better get to her. The only getting you're gonna do, is to school. Cute. Here hand me my books. - Can't you say please? - Please. - Dad that's the girl! - Are you sure? - Yeah that's her. Well I'd better have a little chat with her. You guys go on over there, let me talk to the parents. Excuse me, I'm Dan Burke, I wonder if I might be able to ask your daughter a few questions? - I suppose this is about last night? - You know about last night? - Listen you know Johnny was killed? - What? - You can come. Multiple stab wounds, we aren't sure about the TOD, time of death, but we should have a full report in this afternoon, you were the last person to see him alive. - Well who the hell are you? - I'm Marci Burke. - She's my sister. Would you knock off the Dick Tracy routine? - Melissa? The sheriff would like to have a word with you. - He's really dead? - I'm afraid so Melissa. Now you were with that boy Johnny last night weren't you? - Jesus Christ yes! - A simple yes would do. Did you drive up to the reservation last night? No, I mean I don't really know where we were. Darling try and remember, I mean the boy was killed. We went for a drive and he took me right home. - She got back around midnight, sheriff. I saw the boy with her and I told him to go home. Did you see anyone else, did uh, did anyone threaten you or Johnny? - No. Well I used some strong words to the boy, he had been drinking, after all Melissa is only 15. - There was an Indian in town though. - Who, Jason? - Yeah you were there. - So what, that was nothing. - Jason Longshadow? - Yes sir. Isn't that the boy that you hired to work up at the dig. Yes but he wouldn't do a thing like this. - Well Melissa what did he do to you? - He grabbed me, I think he was trying to kiss me or something. Well uh, I'll go up and have a talk with him. - Yeah well I'm just going up to the dig, I'll ride up with you if you don't mind. - Not at all. - I'll get my things. Well uh, you guys gonna stand around out here, or are you gonna go to school? Well lemme know if you find out anything. - You'll be the first to know, Sherlock. - Later Dad. I'll pick you up after school. Okay Mom. This, this Jason, do you think he's capable of something like this. No, I don't think so, but to tell you the truth, right now I don't really know what to think. - This town has really changed a lot. Well now don't get me wrong because most of the time around here it's pretty decent. Oh, Sheriff, you don't realize I was born and bred right here? - Right here? - Right here! - Well welcome home. Thank you well just for a little while, John's grant for the dig should keep us here about two or three months. - All set, Sheriff? - All set. Nice meeting you, Ma'am. - You too. I'll see you later darling. - I'll see you tonight. - All right. - Jason? - How you doing Dan? - How are you? Look uh, we had a little shuffle in the town last night and that word is that you and Billy Franklin were having some words together. Ahem, Jason my daughter said that you came after her, is that true. That's not true, I just told her to go home. Well to tell you the truth I am pretty unclear about what really did happen last night. - Well nothing happened. - I'm afraid there did, Jason. We found the body of Johnny Franklin right on the end of Lake Road this morning, he was murdered. - Yes I heard about that. - Did you see him last night? Yeah just before I took Greyfeather home. - Say anything to him? - No. - See anyone else? - No, Dan I ain't kill anybody. Oh of course he's didn't, that's obvious Sheriff. Look, we're starting on the dig now. - Look, I'll be in touch. - I'll be here. Hi Dan, you still take your steaks charred on the outside? And pink in the middle, how are you Kathy? I'm lonely when are you gonna get back up here again? - I can be up there this week. - Yeah? That's what you said last time! Well I guess you heard we've had some trouble down here. - Yeah Dan I heard about that. - Kathy this is a real weird one. What do you need Dan? I need some NCICs, you think you can get 'em for me by this afternoon? Boy, you know the computer was down last week, and we're so backed up I can't even get near the machine. - Kathy I hate doing this to you, but I really gotta get started on this. Oh let's see, well some people owe me some favors around here, why don't you call me back later on tonight and I'll see what I can do. - I love you. - Why don't you marry me? Well you know I was joking. - Right, I've gotta go now, bye. - Why does he always laugh when I propose? Well Frank's been down at the morgue all morning, he should be back any minute and we'll know more then. - What are you gonna do? - Well since the town is full of rumors, why don't you call a town meeting of some sort? - I'll call it for tonight. - Excuse me. Am I interrupting anything? - No Mrs. Morgan, how are you? - Fine thank you. - Can I get you some coffee. - Oh no thanks. This is George Martin, our town chairman, Joanne Morgan. - How do you do? - Don't recognize me, do you George? - I'm sorry? - Joanie Platt? - Platt, Joanie Platt? - That's right. - You two know each other? - We grew up together! More or less. - Really? - It's been a long time, you look good. Well George, made it to the right side of the tracks. - Yes I can see that, how's your sister? - She's fine. - Right, well uhm, I'll call that meeting for around eight then. - Sit down, please, here let me take that. George and I never get on in junior high school either. Well George is a nice guy but you know politicians. - Oh I certainly do. - Well what can I do for you Mrs. Morgan? - Well there are two things. First of all, you can call me Joanne. And second, I'd like your advice about something. - I think I can handle that Joanne. Well my husband John was thinking about giving a party and getting to know some of the people here. Thought actually I've been thinking about giving a party, my husband's really not very social. And the problem is, I was thinking that with this murder and all, it mightjust be too much or? - Lemme tell you a secret, I think that a party is just what this town needs right now. Really that's terrific, my daughter Melissa is going to be 16 next week, and I was thinking that I could give her a real old-fashioned Texas Barbecue and invite the whole town up. The kids and I would be there hungry as bears. - Terrific. I'm not saying for sure but it looked like the work of some kind of psychotic, I mean who else would stab somebody 20 or 30 times. - I heard it was 15. Well my dad doesn't know anything for sure yet. But for all we know the killer could be sitting right next to you. That's Melissa. She was the last person to see Johnny alive. She might as well take her clothes off. - She's beautiful. Melissa What are you thinking, sweet Melissa Are you with us still, Melissa You look so far away Hey throw met he ball. Melissa What's that you're saying, sweet Melissa How you doing? - Okay. You must be new around here. You must be the captain of the football team. - Mind if I sit down? - Sure why not. - So the name's Tommy, Tommy Jackson. I'm Melissa, I'm doing time here for a couple of months. - Huh? Forget it, you got a match Tommy Jackson? - I don't smoke. - Well you'll live a little longer. What do you do? You know, drop pills, you drink, or smoke dope or anything? - Well I do a little of everything. - Everything, oh. Maybe we should get together sometime? I may do a little of everything too. - So what's the deal? - You tell me. - I might be able to score some herb. - Herb? - You know, to smoke. - You mean grass? - Yeah. So you wanna meet me tonight? - Where? - Do you know Earl's? - Yeah. I'll be around back say uh, eight o'clock. - Sure why not. - Don't be late. - I won't, I'll be there, see ya tonight. Hank it's your turn to do the dishes. I did 'em last night. - Oh no way Marci. You're the lady of the house. - Hey! You wash and I'll dry then. - Marci. As soon as you finished the dishes, I want you to jump on your homework okay? - When are you going to meet a nice girl to take care of these domestic chores? - In this town, good luck. - Well what's wrong with Kathy? - Oh Kathy, damn I gotta call her. Well why don't you propose to her when you do? - Cute, real cute. I'm not in any hurry to get married again, okay? Hank I want you to stay with your sister tonight, I want you to crack the books and lock the doors. - Okay Dad. You guys need me, I'll be down at the school okay? Any problems? Good. God what a mess. - Marci come on. - Where are you going? - Into town. - You heard what Dad said. I heard what he said, now come on let's go. - Wait a minute, I'm not going out there. What if that killer is waiting for us, we could be coleslaw, just like that. - All right suit yourself then, I'll see you in a couple of hours. - Hank wait for me. This is really stupid you know. I mean there's a maniac running around and here we are, going for a little walk. - Will you shut up and come on? - I'm scared I talk a lot when I'm scared. I know why don't we sing, I like to sing. Something religious maybe. - Marci! - Oh Jesus this is gonna be the big one. - Will you cut it out? Kids, I'm Joanne Morgan, you need a lift? - Oh thanks, some killer huh? - A little messy back there. - That's okay. You know who did it, those red scum Indians, and this man don't wanna do nothing about it. So we gotta do it ourselves, with Billy here's help. Sheriff Billy told me to stay with him, I'm gonna go back up. - Not the truth. - Bullshit! Bullshit! ' Jimmy? I know I don't look it, but, on my mother's side, I'm half-Indian, and itjust irritates the hell outta me when you call 'em scum. - I didn't know that, Sheriff. - Well you know it now. So I want you to stay in here, and I want you to shut your mouth, do you understand that? - Yeah, uh-huh. - That's good. - I'm gonna do something about that. - Billy? - Sit down! I'm gonna take a large. Get away from me. - I said that's enough! Now you listen to me, everyone of you, you listen damn close, because if anybody in this town decides to take the law in their own hands, I'll be on your ass like junebug on shit. I hope I make myself understood and pardon me ladies. - Tommy? Tommy, are you out here? Tommy? Jesus Christ! - Run! - Cute, real cute. Multiple stab wounds in the back, in the arm, and chest. - I know, same damn MO. - That's what it looks like. Well Frank we got ourselves a real bonafide nut running around, listen why don't you go inside and see if that girl Melissa, if she can talk now, will ya? - All right. - What the hell are you two doing here? - We uhm, decided to take a little walk. Funny we ended up here. Uhm, same MO dad? - Don't get cute Marci, I thought I told you two to stay home! - Ah doc says she can talk now. - Yeah I'll be right there, fine. You know it's high time I take a paddle to both of you right now! - Come on Dad we're not little kids. Marci one more word outta you and you won't be sitting down for a week. Now listen there's something funny going on around here, there's two dead kids already, two. And I don't wanna see anything happen to either one of you. Oh come on it was my fault okay I made Marci come with me. Well then fine, I'll see your ass when we get home. Stay here, now what are you people doing around here? - And they say chivalry's dead. - Marci shut up already. - How is she? - Well now she's pretty shaken. - Oh baby. It's okay, it's okay, I'm gonna take you home, come on. No Joanne, the sheriff wants to ask her some questions. - Not now for God's sakes, look at her. - No, I wanna talk! I saw who did it, I've seen him before, right over here, in a truck. - You've seen him before? - Yeah, the old Indian. He was standing right over the body, right in front of me. Did you actually see him kill the boy? No, but he was the only one there, he had to do it. He, I was... That's enough, I'm taking my child home. - Yes I'm sorry, they're both upset. Frank, make sure they get to the car okay. Let me have your flashlight. About time someone put those goddamn Indians back in their place. - What do you wanna do Billy? What we're gonna do, we're gonna do what the law does to those murdering pigs, we're gonna have ourself a little justice, pally! - Yeehaw! - Find anything? Or are we gonna go interrogate Greyfeather? - Marci, let me handle this. Greyfeather did not do this. Dad, that Indian that Melissa said she saw here that night that was Greyfeather. Look we all like Greyfeather and we know that he wouldn't do anything to hurt anybody, but, we gotta face the facts, I mean a witness has placed him at the scene of the crime, face it Daddy, he's the only lead you've got. - Let's go. Thank you, Sheriff. Marci. - Sir? - Stay in the car. - Oh, Dad! - Hey come on, you're already on my list. Yes sir. - Greyfeather? G reyfeather? G reyfeather? It's me, Dan. I should've seen this coming, I should've seen it coming! Well just a minute here, it says in this report that it was suicide. Those reports are public knowledge George, hell, you know, what can I do too. - You're telling me that the white people in this town did it? Hell I don't have to tell you, you know it. - What are you gonna do? - I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna find this madman before he strikes again and believe me he will, and then going I'm after the son of a bitches that hung Greyfeather, and you can put that in your peace pipe and smoke it. - Hi, Dad. - Hey there Mr. Martin. - Okay Hank, you going up to the services? Yeah. - Now listen. - Ah, I'm not for funerals. - George. We'll talk about this later. ' Sure. - You ready? - Yup. - Yep. - Let's go. And although our immortal hearts are burdened with the grief over the untimely loss of these two fine boys, Tommy and Johnny, seemingly struck down before they had the opportunity to truly grow and prosper in your blessed life, let us not judge their departure in mortal terms, but in terms of life, everlasting. Let us now dearly hold to our savior's promise of eternal life, world without end. Oh lord, let our faith in you grow ever stronger, even in the face this tragedy, and give us your loving light to soothe our common sorrow, help us in our search for an understanding of your divine wisdom, and teach us forgiveness in the face of mortal transgression, oh lord, calm our angry hearts when we seek vengeance, raise our spirits above our petty mortal desires and guide your faithful children to joyous love that awaits us all in heaven, now let us join together in silent prayer. His will be done, amen. - Amen. Melissa, I suppose you heard about Greyfeather? - What's a Greyfeather? - Greyfeather is the old man that you accused the other night. - And I hope they caught the creep. - Oh they did, and then they hanged him. Oh gee did I upset you? - Look leave me alone okay? What, what's the matter, don't you wanna hear the details about that poor old man was twitching from his ceiling because you decided you wanted a little attention? Maybe Greyfeather was in that alley, and maybe he was there all by himself, but he didn't kill anybody, just like Jason didn't try to kiss you the other night, do you know Melissa, you like to make up stories don't you, you like the attention that they get you. Well this time your little story killed someone. You know you might as well have put the rope around his neck yourself, you stupid little bitch. Melissa wait, would you wait a second? Well why do you have to be so damn tough all the time? - Well why do you have to be so damn good? - Well I'm not. I mean I've done a lot of rotten things. - Like What? Well it was pretty rotten what I just did to you. Look, it uhm, it's probably my fault, but, we've really gotten off to a bad start, and well if... Hi I'm Marci Burke. - Marci I didn't wanna hurt that old man. - I know. Listen Melissa if you ever need someone to talk to you, you know just about stuff in general, well, I'm a good listener. - Thanks Marc. We've just got to find that common denominator. - It's Melissa. - What? - Well she's the common denominator. She was the last person to see both Tom and Johnny alive. That's crazy, I mean Tommy was already dead when she found him. - Yeah that's what she says. - Well he does have a point, Marci. - I mean Dad you've got to admit that she isn't your average kid, Marci you and her are the same age and look at the difference between you and her. So she's got fancier clothes and she knows how to wear make up, big deal, she's still a sensitive girl. - You're outta your mind. - And she's lonely too. - Oh she's lonely, sure. Every guy at school only wants to ask her out for a date. Hank you have no idea of what I'm talking about. I mean she and I really got along today, have you ever talked to her? - Sure all the time. - Sure all the time, no you haven't. Most of you guys just drool over her. She's really a nice person. Sounds like you made a good friend today. - L did, Daddy. You know actually Marci, I'm glad you guys came together closer. Now maybe you can set me up on a date with her. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding, take it easy, it was a joke! - Coffee. - Thank you. Morning. - Morning. I don't have a lotta time, Sheriff. What I have to say doesn't sit easy with me either. - I take it you're talking about Jason. - I fired him this morning. - I'm sorry to hear that. - I also want him arrested. Well maybe you'd better explain that John. Since the first days of the dig, things have been disappearing, now I thought that Jason was putting them in the crates, I checked yesterday. Do you have a description of what's missing. - They're all listed there. Now Sheriff this is my work, those aren't just artifacts to me, they're more than that. Those knives alone could bring me enough financial support to excavate the entire burial mound. - Knives? - I've never seen anything like it, five exquisite pieces, and they're buried with their chiefs. - Excuse me. Dan. Let's see, I like my steak two inches thick. - You got something? - How does a matching MO sound? - Not bad for starters. Listen I think you'd better get up here, because there's probably gonna be a lot more. Well I couldn't get up there until late this afternoon. The computer picked up some real interesting information on a Jason Longshadow, I'm gonna do some followup NCICs and I should have 'em around four. - Kathy you're beautiful. And I'm single, and I'm great in the garden. Yeah, your kids just love me. - Come on, yeah hold on. John I'll go up and talk to Jason and I should have something for you by tonight. - Good, by tonight then, Sheriff. - See you at the party? - See you at the party. - Yeah? - You know how great I iron your shirts. I'll promise I'll make it up to you, I promise. And I can change the tires on my car and your car. - I know, I gotta go now, bye. And you know I'm great at cleaning up. - Frank? - Hmm-mm? - Make a run on that will you? Jason? - Why would he do it? Well I'm not saying that Jason did anything honey. He did have a motive. - What motive? Come on Marci, Dad you know he hated the Franklins. Yeah but he didn't even know Tommy Jackson. Could somebody put their finger here. - I Will. Well I'll know more when I get back from the lab. Can't I go with you, Dad? Oh I'd like you to honey, but I think you'd more fun at Melissa's birthday party. Now George said he'd pick you guys up in a couple of hours so wait for him. - Will do, Dad. And I should be back, be back there around six. So behave yourself and have fun, and watch your manners. Oh and honey could you maybe save Daddy a piece of cake. - Yes sir. - You spoil the hell outta me. - Well see you Dad. - Okay son. - There, you can take your finger out now. - Uh no I can't. - Yes you can I'm finished. Very cute Hank. - Hello kid, where you out hiding,? , baby. - Well well well here we are. Hello Joanne. - George. - Uhm, the wife made these, cookies. - The wife? Bettie Palmer, you remember Bettie, cheerleader, nice look, she's home sick in bed today. - Yes I remember. - Oh here's Melissa's gift. Oh thank you, why don't you kids go have something to drink. - Oh thanks. - Thank you. You know, Bettie didn't hold up half as good as you did. That's a pretty dress. - It's great huh? - It's beautiful. - Well well well would you look at them. - It's pretty amazing. - Yeah, let's go get a drink. You know I think I'm gonna get that present and give it to Melissa. - I think I'll just stand here. - Oh you mustn't. - Oh I'm fine sir. This is a lovely party. - You have Mrs. Morgan to thank for that. It's so old-fashioned, it's like out of an old movie. She wanted it just like a sweet 16 party. Is your father here? No sir he had some business he had to finish up but he should be here soon. He didn't say anything about recovering some of my things? No, I mean, he was really busy so we didn't get to talk very much. - Ah I see. Would you excuse me, I'd like to go wish Melissa a happy birthday. - Of course. - Thank you. - Happy birthday Melissa. - Thanks Marc. - It's beautiful. - It's a handkerchief. My mother gave it to me when I was a little girl, I thought you'd like it. - Hey what about me? Well here we are, county records for the last two million years, I don't know why you don't just trust the information the computer kicked out. Well, it's the same MO, but only one victim. But everything else fits, same multiple stabs, same area, even the same age victim. - I know. - You know. - I know. - Then what's wrong? - Something just isn't right. Okay, this Jason guy, his mother is killed by a drunk driver who is later released no charges filed. Awhite drunk, a white court, and a white judge. There's your motive. I mean I'd be upset, I'd be really upset if some guy who murdered my mother got off scot free, right? Well why now, I mean why is he killing now. - Who knows why people snap? Oh come on, come on sweetheart let's go have a nice romantic steak dinner huh, we'll have some wine and then we'll go back to my place later, and I'll show you my guns. Kathy, I've been looking all over for you. - Hi Sandy what's up? On those knives, we found blood on one of them, we're testing for it now. - Did you? - I heard her. I'd better call Frank. - Good girl. - Soup's on Jason. Sheriff's office. - Frank, this is Dan. I want you to stay extra sharp tonight. ' WhV YOU got something? I don't know yet, but I don't want any trouble. - I got it, it's pretty quiet out. Look Frank we found some blood on one of the knives, it could be a murder weapon, I don't know, I'll know more in an hour, I'll get back to you then okay? ' L got you. See you later. - Was that Dan? - Yeah. - So when do I get out? It'll be just a little while move back a little bit Jason. Billy they're all out, waggling their little asses all over the place man, all you gotta do is go up to them and slap and tickle a little. - That little girl turns me on. - Kathy. - Ready for dinner? Listen can you get me the film two years before and the film two years after this one. - Sure.
