To christ.

To accept him

We ask you

Into your loving arms,
dear lord.

Amen.

Amen.
Amen.
Amen.

Amen?

Amen!
Amen!
Amen!

[Piano plays]

Ooh, girl.

You should sing
more than gospel.

It's about time
I got you in here.

I just had
the best
idea I've had

Since I asked
you out.

It couldn't be
that good.

How about singing
at the club?

The one you're
going to manage?

Now, I got
a little band
for dancing.

But I want to
try some singers
in there.

Am I what
you're looking for?

I'm not saying
you won't have to
practice, now.

It's not like
singing in church.

But don't you
want to?

Please?

Yes, but I wonder
what the chief
is going to think.

Uh, chief forbes?

Mmm.

Mrs. Joseph
andrew abercrombie

Just called in
a complaint

About a wild party
out at the watsons'
place.

If you want to send
somebody out there...

Well, sir, the truth is,

It's just a smidge
outside the city limits.

I was about to call
the sheriff's department,

But I thought
youmight want to.

Well...considering
the time of night,

Handle this
without bothering
the sheriff?

Yes, sir. Right on it.

Chief, I know
you're headed out...

Luann, come on in.

You heard about
the new club opening up.

Yeah.

Sparta's going
to have another bar.

I don't know why.

But I'm sure
they're going to
make lots of money.

I've been asked to
sing there twice a week,
if that's o.k.

There's only one thing
that concerns me--

I'll work it
around my schedule.

I promise
there won't be
any problem.

Look. The only thing
that concerns me is,

I pride myself
on knowing
all my officers.

And I didn't even
know you could sing.

[Siren]

Hey, hey!

Come back!
Hold on!

Get back there!

Get over there!

Hold on, now!

I ain't going to chase
one of y'all.

Ain't nobody going
anyplace just yet.

Bubba.

Vitamins, huh?

Turn around.

Come on, cook.
Sooner or later,

You're going to
have to tell us
something.

Who's your supplier?

Son, we can't
help you if you
don't help us.

Talk to my lawyer.
He's paid for that.

We could save you
costly legal fees.

He's right. Do something
sensible for once
in your life, huh?

Let me get this
straight.

You never seen these
before. You don't know
what they are.

That's right.

He said the same thing

When we brought him in
for selling pot.

He's always carrying
things in his pockets
he's never seen before.

Get him out of here.

My pleasure.

This is chief forbes,
debbie.

You use dr*gs, debbie?

No. I've never
been to that kind
of party before.

This guy
talked us into it.

Into what?

Buying that stuff.

You didn't know
what it was.

Said that it would
make us feel good...

Dance all night.

He the only one
selling it?

I only saw
that one guy.

Can we go home now?

Not until after
the hearing tomorrow.

There's g-- ahem.

There's going to be
a hearing?

Wake up, girl.

This is serious stuff.

You know
how dangerous it is,

Taking something
you know nothing about?

It's hard to believe
you'd do something
like that.

Everybody was doing it.

Man, man, man.

Yeah.

No identifying marks.

They're homemade.
Maybe designer dr*gs.

Yeah. But you know,
chief...i really doubt

That kid cook's
in this thing alone.

The boy don't got
the brains for it.

We get those lab results
tomorrow morning,

We'll know what
we're dealing with.

Not too hard
on the eyes, is she?

I don't mind.

Something tells me
you already crazy
about the girl.

We only been
dating a month.

Yeah. I seen
that look before.

You're not fooling
anyone.

He never could.

Hey, troy.

My man!

This here's brent shaw.

Shaw?

Welcome to ed ruger's
new little club.

Thank you.

Be right with you.

What the hell
you doing?

Stopping by to see
an old friend.

What you want, shaw?

Heard you're hiring.

Thought you might
could use...

My man here.

He'd make a...

Fine...

Bartender?

He'll improve
your business.

Mine, too.

No way, man.

I'm all finished
with your business.

I gave it up
when I left jackson.

Wonder if
old ed ruger'll
believe that.

Boy, could I tell
some stories!

You were my best dealer.

My best customer, too.
That was your downfall.

I warned you about that.

You're hired.

Troy...

Why don't you, uh...

Try a sample...

Of the latest...

Joy drops?

On the house.

No, thanks.

Keep it straight,
or you're out of here.

Love the place, troy!

Ecstasy.

Mmm.

Well, uh...

That's quite
a name to live
up to, ecstasy.

Does it
produce that?

So they say.

It's the latest craze.

Mostly among
college kids
and teenagers.

Well, what is in it?

I figured you'd ask.

It's called "mdma,"

Which stands for...

"Methylene dioxi
methamphetamine."

I never heard of it.

But I did hear
amphetamine in there.

Yeah. It's made
in underground labs.

How much is it?

In memphis,
about $ . A dose.

And cheap, relatively.

And it can be lethal.

Being that it's homemade,

These kids have no idea
how strong a dose may be.

Well, somebody
ought to be told

That in the state
of mississippi,

This carries
a $ , fine

And maybe years
in the pen.

Yeah.

Judge'll tell him that...

At the hearing,
then he'll get out

Run right back
to his hole,

Just like any ordinary rat
who loves his home.

Yeah. [Chuckles]

But, um...

Let's see if we
can't fix a location
for that home.

You know, just
to be doing something.

Yeah.

Good evening.

[Whistling]

Thank you, and
we'll be right back.

[Applause]

She wears it out,
doesn't she?

Just settle down,
boy.

Yeah, right!

Shaw won't want you
hanging around.

Tell shaw
I'm in trouble.
That means so is he.

Just sit tight
till we hear about
that delivery.

When will that be?

Couple days. Shaw will
take care of you then.

That judge
will put me away

Unless I come up
with something,
and that's shaw.

We'll get you
out of town
before the trial.

When?

Just be cool.

There's beer
behind the bar.

I don't want you
back here.

You're the boss.

Ha ha ha.

Sheesh.

[Knock on door]

Come on in.

You were great.

You made me look good.

Thanks.

Are you shaking?

No.

No, you ain't,
but you're nervous
about something.

Just nervous.

Wait for me
after the show?

Sure.

He said the delivery will
be made in a couple days?

They were waiting
to hear. Sounded
like a big deal.

How did shaw
get that bartender
hired so easy?

Bartender made a call
when he came back
to the bar.

I couldn't catch it.

Cook sounded
pretty serious
about jumping bail.

I told you the kid
didn't have any sense.

Well, we just got
our lead on shaw.

Isn't too pretty, is he?

According to
the jackson pd,

He's done three years
for dealing

And is recently
paroled.

You seen him at the bar?

No, I don't think so.

But I'll remember him
if I do.

Well, well.

What is this I hear
about you doing
a billie holiday

Over at ruger's
new little club?

I'm just singing a little.
Help out an old friend.

Yeah.

That fella troy day.

You like him?

I know he likes you.

He acted
like all the others

When he found out
I was a cop.

Men do have
that, uh, problem.

Kind of deflatin'
to the ego.

You going to come
hear me?

Sure, I got a standing
reservation over there.

I'll miss miss delong
not being there.

I'll bring her
when she's back
from hattiesburg.

Yeah. I know.

I don't know
what happened
to that money he had.

Yeah, I know.

Right.

Hey.

You're early.

It's not like
singing at the church,
you know.

I know.

You missing some cash?

Yeah.

From the bar.

How'd you know?

Just guessing.

I think the bartender
might be dealing.

And if he's dealing,
he could be taking.

Luann, I hired
a singer, not a cop.

No...you hired a cop
and asked her to sing.

I didn't ask you
to tell me this stuff
about dealing.

I told you to help.

Well, help me
by forgetting it!

Oops.

I--i always had
lousy timing.

Haven't i, troy?

Well...

Aren't you gonna
introduce me?

Brent shaw.

Troy and i...

Go way back.

Don't we, troy?

[Classical music plays]

[Ring]

Gillespie here.

Hey, bill,
it's hampton.

I thought you like
to know

That dealer
the jackson police
were talking about...

Showed up.

Shaw. Is that his name?

Yeah. Brent shaw.

Luann spotted him.

We're going
to watch him.

There's something else,
isn't there?

Yeah.

Luann thinks troy
might be involved.

Says he and shaw
know each other--

Old friends, apparently.

Bill, I really don't
want her working
there anymore.

Well, I agree with you.

I don't think
it's a good idea.

Now, where is
the dealer cook?

Good question.

When we get something,
I'll let you know.

Yeah. Bye.

[Jazz music plays]

[Knock on door]

Come in.

I didn't think
it was possible,

But that first set
was better than last night.

How's about
a late supper
at my place?

Mama always said
a man who can cook

Is worth his weight
in gold.

No, thanks, troy.

Luann...

I'm sorry about before.

I didn't mean to--

Oh, go ahead, troy.

I knew what I was doing
hiring that bartender.

I didn't think
I had a choice...

Because of stuff
that happened
a long time ago.

You should have been
straight with me.

Are you now?

Sure, luann.
I gave up all that.

I got a good job.
Things are different now.

I love you, luann.

I love you.

[Knock on door]

Yes?

Sheriff.

Hey there.

You out there tonight?

Yeah, I'm out there.

Uh, the show isn't over,
I hope.

No, I have another set.

Good.

This is, uh,
troy day.

Sheriff,
luann's told me
a lot about you.

Good. Good.

Good to see you.

Luann?

I'll make it right.

I promise you.

I knew when I knocked
I was interrupting
something, but, uh...

I just had a feeling
I should.

[Television plays]

Cook, open up.
Police.

[Knock on door]

Don't be stupid, son.
Open the door.

Cook.

Cook?

Oh, lordy.

Somebody had to be
awfully close
to make that sh*t.

Yeah. Close.

Small caliber.

Probably a . .

Yeah?

When is the show
gonna start?

Any minute.

Drink o.k.?

Standard stuff.
Not too much kick.

I got something
that'll give it
a real kick.

Oh, yeah?
What's that?

Ecstasy.

Bucks each.

[Waitress]
two scotch
on the rocks, please.

Don't go away.

Thank you,
ladies and gentlemen.

And now, what we've
all been waiting for,

The lovely luann corbin.

[Applause and cheering]

Thank you.

Well, I'm going
to start this

A little different
tonight...

With a request.

I wouldn't do this
for just anyone, so...

Here goes.

What?

She's a cop

She sure fooled me.

[Applause]

[Door opens]

You fired
your bartender.

That wasn't nice.

Don't start
with your threats.
I'm not interested.

But you are interested
in that lady singer,
aren't you?

That cop?

She's got nothing
to do with this.

But she knows the score,
doesn't she, troy?

Go back to jackson, shaw.

Market's saturated.

I like small towns.

I want you
out of here!

The way I see it,

It doesn't matter
a whole hell of a lot
what you want.

Jackson called.

And what?

He's on his way.

What about him?

Well...

We can't leave him here.

He's sort of a, uh...

Partner.

What his girlfriend
luann might call
an accomplice.

Ha ha ha ha!

We didn't find
any prints of cook's.

The lab says he
was k*lled with a . .

Well, troy couldn't
have done that.

What did he say?

Well, he seemed to say

He'd been blackmailed
into hiring the bartender.

Luann, we made
some phone calls.

Your friend troy
was arrested a couple
of years ago in jackson

Peddling dr*gs.

Shaw was caught selling
about the same time.

And now he and shaw
are together.

Well, he doesn't
want to be.

He told me
he gave all that up.

That he'd changed.

Shaw's with
that bartender
and troy day.

Went inside for a while
but now they're leaving.

They're getting into
a blue lincoln towncar.

Wait a minute.
Shaw's got a g*n.

It's pointed
straight at troy.

I don't think troy's
with him from choice.

Where are you now?

I'm heading south.

Old highway
cuts through
in a / mile.

It's meridian to the left
or jackson to the right.

Or they could go
straight to the county.

Lonnie, could you
stay with them?

Sure. They're moving
pretty easy.

They just turned out
at brown ridge road.

Well, that's straight
out to the county.

Parker and I'll take
a cruise down maple.

Well, can I take
luann with me?

Sure.

You going to try
and catch him with
the product, huh?

We're going to.
You, too.

Yes, sir.

Anything happening?

There's no sign
of anyone else yet.

I'd like everybody
to leave here standing,
including them.

That's always
my preference.

It's going down.

He works for me.

Get on with it.

Fine. Pay him.

Now, y'all, boys,
this is the sheriff here.

I'm giving you a chance

To step away
from your cars,

And throw down
those weapons.

Luann, you out there?

You stop 'em now,
or I'm going to k*ll
your boyfriend!

Hold it, hold it.
Take it easy here.

[g*nsh*t]

We need an ambulance
at the train yard
on brown bridge.

All right,
let's go.

That g*n is
going to cost you.

You should've
got rid of it after
you k*lled cook.

I'm sorry, luann.

Don't flex.
Don't flex.

He's going
to be fine.

I'll go get
the medikit.

Shaw had that g*n
and I cou---

Hush. Hush,
don't waste your self.

You're going
to be fine, troy.

Just hold on.
You gotta hold on.

How's troy?

He'll be out
of the hospital
tomorrow.

You're worried about
that hearing, aren't you?

Sure, I am,

'Cause of his record.

Well, you could say
troy's only real crime

Was hiring
that bartender.

Well, that's
more than enough

To put him
in the wrong, parker.

How wrong?
I...i couldn't say.

It will be
the d.a.'S choice.

Well...

I'm going to help troy
all I can, chief.

I know.

Y'all going to stay
for the second set?

Wouldn't miss it.

O.k.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm happy to present

The most talented,
beautiful cop
in america--

Our own miss luann corbin.
