wanna see you come through this now, you hear? Even if we have to step on Endicott's toes? Even that. But do it fast. All right. Now, Bill, how about this here Negro officer? Miz Colbert seems to have confidence in him. Oh, he ain't nothin'. Some kind of a... some kind of a homicide expert. But I don't need him. You mean you don't want him. But you do need him. Now look, Bill. Suppose he turns up the killer. He has no police power here. He's gonna have to hand him over on a platter, right? That's right. And if he fails, you're off the hook, cos it was Miz Colbert's idea in the first place. See what I mean? Oh, yeah. Works out all the way around, Bill. For all of us. Excuse me. Any reason why you have to leave today? There's lots of reasons. What would you say if I asked you to stay for a while? No. This town needs a factory, Virgil. Colbert come down from Chicago to build it. I hear they're gonna hire a thousand men. Half of them'd be coloured. - Know what that means? - Probably got him killed. That's what Mrs Colbert thinks. She wants us to catch her a killer. No killer, no factory. Well, it's a lotta jobs for a lotta coloured people. You follow me? - I'm going home, man. - They're your people. Not mine - yours. You made this scene. - What do you want me to do? Beg you? - Look, I've had your town up to here! Boy, it would give me a world of satisfaction to horsewhip you, Virgil! My father used to say that. - Even did, once or twice. - Yeah, well, not enough to suit me. Now you listen to me. Just once in my life I'm gonna hold my temper. I'm tellin' you that you're gonna stay. You'll stay here if I have to have your chief remind you what he told you to do. But I don't think I have to do that, you see? No. Because you're so damned smart. You're smarter than any white man. You're just gonna stay here and show us all. You could never live with yourself unless you could put us all to shame. You wanna know something, Virgil? I don't think that you could let an opportunity like that pass by. (train horn) Jess? Jess, this is, uh... This is Virgil. He's workin' for me. Give him somethin' that runs. Fix him up. What I fix, runs. Who pays? Police. Well, you know where to find me. What you doin' here, man? Policeman. You're a policeman here in Sparta? They've got a murder they don't know what to do with. They need a whipping boy. You got a roof? No. I'll find a motel. (Jess chuckles) Viola... We got company. Know what's gonna happen? He gonna get hisself killed. You watch and see he don't. I'm aware of the risk, Tom. But, like it or not, we're stuck with him. Not if the chief here is right on the ball. What do you say, Chief? You got that old killer all lined up in your front sights, hm? I'm workin' on it. Tom, climb off of Gillespie's back now. You know damn well we didn't hire him off a homicide squad. Yeah, well, it's gonna be his week. Cos Colbert's only the start. I say this nigger won't live past Saturday. Mrs Colbert, can you tell me about your husband's enemies? That's Endicott. He's been fighting us all the way. He sits up on his hill and runs this county. Or did, until we moved in. Did your husband tell you where he was going last night? He said he wasn't sleepy. I went to bed. What time was that? A little after 11, I think. Did he call you, or anybody on your staff, after 11? No. Maybe the elevator boy can tell us what time he went out. They put it on self-service after ten. Did your husband use a car here? Find anything? - Whoever killed Colbert drove this car. - How do you know? Where you goin'? I'd drive up there, but I'm sure you don't want me running up there by myself. - Up where? - Eric Endicott's. Endicott's?! Come on, now! ( "In the Heat of the Night" instrumental) None of that for you, huh, Virgil? In the heat of the night Mm-hm, ain't a woman yet been born ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Серый волк энд Красная Шапочка на английском - текст Банзай, режиссёр! на английском - текст Взять живым или мёртвым на английском - текст Чебурашка на английском - текст Аты-баты, шли солдаты... на английском |
