S03E04 Senorita Mambo

Can you tell me what happened?

Did he...

put his hands on you?

You can tell me.

You're safe.

I won't let him hurt you again.

My father used to...

hurt my mother that way.

And when I tried to stop him...

the fists'd come out.

So...

I seen you before.

Where?

I play music sometimes
down at Blind Tillie's.

The black club?

Yes, ma'am.

I look like the
kind of white woman

who hangs out at a black club?

Just where'd you get the
idea that we tolerate

black boys messin' with
white girls in this town?

I didn't touch her, I swear.

It was two white boys
in a black pickup.

You wearin' a belt, Bobby Joe?

What you mean?

You wearin' a belt, I said.

Well, yes, ma'am.

♪♪

A belt's a good way to
put an end to all this.

That's what I'm sayin'.

I want to talk to my lawyer.

What'd you say?

I got a right, don't I?

That's funny.

He's right.

Whatever rights he had,

after what he done to that
girl, he don't have any more.

She ain't said what
he did to her.

We know what he did.

He asked for his lawyer.

Never mind. Cut him loose.

- I didn't say we should cut him lose.
- Nope. I did.

Get him outta here.

It's your lucky day, boy.

What the hell is this?

Oh. Oh.

Even when we're lost,

all roads lead to him.

- Who?

Brown's the head of it.

Aw, sorry I got you into
this mess, Leonard.

The hell you sorry for?

Now I'm gon' blame

Blame me? What'd I do?

Well, you hadn't burned
down that crack house,

Hanson wouldn't have
gotten the idea

to send us all down here.

Hanson didn't send us...
he sent you.

Only reason I'm here is
'cause I'm stupid enough

to be your goddamn friend.

If Florida woulda am-scrayed

wasn't no Disney World,

we wouldn't be here now.

Florida's car.

Gee.

Hey, hey! Hey.

Just 'cause we found her car,

that don't mean to
say she's dead.

Don't mean she ain't either.

Phew.

Ooh. Just in time.

Hap.

Hey. Gimme that.

Let me go! Stop it!

Let go!

She dead, ain't she?

Probably.

What else is on there?

Reminder...

call Gary Randall at
Slaughter/Connolly.

I want to find out if licensing
L.C.'s song might be an option

if I don't like the split this
guy offers on distribution.

Also, how long

until the rights for the master
revert back to Bobby Joe?

Note to self... if I ever have
a chance to get a record deal,

find a lawyer who knows more about
the music business than I do.

So if you're too shopped
out to cook, too tired,

if that son-in-law
you can't stand

eats all the green pickles
before you say grace,

if your family's too damn
big or just too damn lazy,

How may I direct your call?

Detective Marvin Hanson, please.

This is Florida Grange.

Hey, merry Christmas, Florida.

Merry Christmas, Peg.

If you don't mind
me saying this...

I know he's been calling you, but
you're a strong black woman.

Can I say that?

You just did.

Well, it's none of my business,

but sometimes the best thing

you can give yourself
for Christmas

is the one thing no one would
ever think to give you,

and that is to move on.

Uh, thank you.

Now, can you put the
call through, please?

I'm in a bit of a hurry.

Oh, yes, ma'am.

Lieutenant Hanson.

Merry Christmas, Marvin.

You know what would make for
a very merry Christmas?

Marvin, I think I need your help
with something. Could you...

Hold on a minute, Florida.

Sorry. Go ahead.

Look, I'm in Grovetown.

Grovetown? Why?

I came here to negotiate
a contract for a client.

We had a meeting scheduled.
He never showed.

I can't think of any
reason unless...

Unless what?

Unless something happened.

Something like what, Florida?

I don't know. Use
your imagination.

I'd like for you to call the
Grovetown Police Department,

put out an APB for
Bobby Joe Soothe.

I got a better idea...
you come home.

I don't like you being
down there alone.

So you're not gon' help me.

I'm helping you by telling
you to get out of Grovetown.

Fine. I'll take
care of it myself.

Baby, please come home.

I can't.

Not yet.

And you don't get to
call me "baby" anymore.

Hey, everybody! There's a-a

♪♪

Unit 12, you got
everything you need?

Little out of your jurisdiction,
aren't you, Ms. Grange?

I wondered what
happened to you, Sneed.

I bet you fit in real
good around here.

Is that your chief?

This area's closed.

That's Bobby Joe Soothe.

And what's that make you?

His lawyer.

Good. Here we go.

Chief.

This is Florida
Grange from LaBorde.

Says she's the
dead guy's lawyer.

What happened here?

Fella died at the end of a rope,
and someone called it in.

Now you know what I know.

There's an FBI unit
in Nacogdoches.

You call them?

No. No, I haven't.

But I will call you should
I need your services.

Do you do estate plannin'?

Somebody hung a black
man from a bridge,

and that makes this
a federal case.

Maybe it's just a good,
old-fashioned suicide.

People tend to off themselves
around the holidays.

I can't say why...

depression, loneliness, boredom.

Maybe...

Maybe he just didn't get what
he wanted for Christmas.

You think this is funny?

I think it would be funny
if we made any decisions

before the coroner has his say.

Fine.

I'd like to be present
at the autopsy.

This ain't the way I
do things in my town.

But I will need you to come
on down to identify the body.

♪♪

So, what do you say, Frank?

Died of cerebral
hypoxia, Chief...

asphyxiation due to...

So it is possible that
he hung himself, hmm?

It's possible.

Seriously?

♪♪

Always best we keep an open mind

about these things, Ms.
Grange, until we know more.

That's kind of hard to do when
you're clearly leading him.

What Bobby Joe do, beat himself
up and then hang himself?

Mm.

How many dead bodies you seen?

Enough to know that this
man did not kill himself.

Exactly how do you know that...

doctor?

He's got bruises on his
face, a cut on his lip,

ligature marks on his wrists
that suggest he's been tied up.

Now, I suppose it's possible
that he tied himself up,

beat himself up, and
then hung himself.

I mean, this is
Grovetown, right?

I tell you what.

Why don't we call it
a suicide, Frank,

uh, but you put that in pencil.

If my investigation
turns up anything,

well, we could always change it.

Can I use your phone, Frank?

Pay phone's down the hall.

♪♪

What are you doing?

Calling the FBI in Nacogdoches.

Now, now, Ms. Grange.

It's a little premature,
don't you think?

Why is it the men in this town
always try to calm me down

when I know that they're lyin'?

Go home, counselor.

Your client's dead.
My nuts are barkin'.

Nothin' you're doin' right now

is gonna bring him
back or me any relief.

so there's hope.

How do you see hope?

Look around, Hap.

We're stuck in the
middle of nowhere,

wet and cold as shit!

Bobby Joe Soothe is
dead, Florida missin',

and the Klan is on our ass!

We don't know how we're
gon' get through the night,

much less get out of Grovetown.

No matter what happens,

you always see everything
as peachy keen!

Come on! Get in!

Hold that.

Just 'cause Florida
ain't in this trunk

don't mean she ain't
in some other trunk.

Till I know for sure she's
dead, she ain't dead.

All right?

We agree on that?

You know, sometimes
I worry about you.

Yeah, well, I appreciate that.

Right now, we got
to get to Hanson

'fore Hanson gets to Cantuck

'cause if Cantuck is
who we think he is...

Hanson might be next.

Now...

Yep.

No, I ain't shittin' you.

Hello?

Excuse me? Is anybody here?

Well, hello.

Good afternoon.

Please tell me you ain't lost.

Uh, I'm Bobby Joe
Soothe's lawyer.

I'd like to see

Uh, well, I'd have to
ask the owner first.

Can I see Bobby Joe's room?

Um, I'd like to show you.
I really would.

But, see, uh, Chief
told me he...

Bobby Joe, that is...
committed suicide.

Poor man.

- We all got our devils, I guess.
- Mm-hmm.

Anyway, Chief told me not to
let anyone in after he left.

He don't want nobody
messin' with his stuff

till he says so, is what, um...

Will that get me in?

Uh...

Well, Bobby Joe does still
owe 72 bucks for the room,

and dead men ain't known
to pay their bills so...

I-I'll need a room for
the night, as well,

and some gas.

Yeah, uh, th-that'll
be $12 for the room.

Gas, you'll have to wait on.

I'm expecting a
