Their further investigation indicates that the criminals are fleeing to Star City, Arkanas, and LAPD detective Dud Cole and his partner John McFeely contact the local Chief of Police Dale 'Hurricane' Dixon and they head to the little town. The yokel family man Dale, who is used to resolve domestic issues, is fascinated with the chance to participate of a manhunt and befriends the two detectives.

- Did you go out with Ronnie last night?

- No.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

- You didn't see a pretty lady?

- No.

You sure?

- Did Uncle Ronnie tell you to say that?

- Yeah.

So this has just been pretend?

What do you say we stop

playing pretend and play really?

And you really should spend a night

in jail.

So you don't tell your sister.

You got to let me go.

I can't do that, Lila.

You can't let them put me in jail.

What's going to happen to our baby

with me in jail?

Your mom

will keep taking care of him.

I'll give her money for him.

Why won't you give him the money?

Why don't you just say,

"Byron, I'm your daddy?"

I don't see how that would...

I guess it wouldn't be

a good idea, huh?

I guess it would be better

just to put me in jail...

and forget about

your 5-year-old son.

Hi, baby.

Yeah, everything's cool.

Everything's real cool.

Ray, where are you calling from?

What's the name

of the gas station?

Ray, you missed the turnoff.

It's about half a mile back

up the highway.

You turn right at this place

called Cothern's Bait Shop.

There's a little road there.

You're not far, baby.

Just about ten minutes away. Hurry.

Yeah, I miss you.

Is that the road, Byron?

I don't think so.

You don't think so?

When they arrive, get them

in the house and away from the car.

Open the door, talk to them.

Let them see everything is okay.

Then stay in the kitchen

until I say to come out.

Then if they get trigger-happy,

you'll be out of the line of fire.

Then you'll let me go?

I'll let you go.

Is that the road you went down?

Don't f*** around in there.

In and out. Got me?

What do you think I'd do?

Don't worry.

You sure this is it?

Yeah.

You got it straight? Do you?

Hi, baby.

Come on, Fantasia. Let's go.

It'll be a few minutes.

I have to pack my stuff.

What stuff?

All you had was your purse.

It won't be long.

Come on in.

Sh*t!

I'll be back.

That's bullshit.

I'm sticking on your ass.

She better not have bought

any clothes.

What does she have to pack?

- Come on.

- Be careful. I love you.

Did you spend any of my money?

Fantasia.

Where did she go?

Police officer, freeze! Hands up,

or I'll blow you to f***ing hell!

- What the f***?

- Get on the floor! Now!

Who the f*** are you?

- You b*tch!

- Shut up!

- Shut up!

- Why the f*** did you do this?

- I'm sorry.

- Stay back!

210, A-1 channel 1.

Come in, goddamn it. Hurry up.

Hurricane, where the hell

have you been?

I need help out here.

What's your 10-20?

Oh, God.

Dale, what's your twenty?

Where are you?

I'm off the highway,

two miles down Sulphur Springs Road.

There's a house, and there's woods...

there's this house...

Is there an address?

I don't know the goddamn address.

Just send some help.

And an ambulance.

I gof three suspects down,

and I'm hurf prefty bad.

Three suspects down.

You know Sulphur Springs Road?

Hold on, Byron.

Charlie, do something.

Dud, come on!

Charlie'll taking care of it. Come on!

This is 211 to base.

Send an ambulance

to Sulphur Springs Road right away.

That son of a b*tch nailed them.

Hey, man.

The ambulance is on the way.

I'll get you some blankets, okay?

Are you dead, mister?

Are you dead, mister?

No, not quite.

Where's the lady at?

She's over there.

Don't go away. Come back.

Come stay with me.

Stay here with me.

How did you get blood on yourself?

I got in a fight.

What do you do with your keys?

I lock things up.

Come here.

I can't see your face.

Come a little closer.

You're five years old?

Four or five?

Five.

Just come sit with me.

Billy Bob Thornton

Billy Bob Thornton (born August 4, 1955) is an American actor, filmmaker, singer, songwriter, and musician. Thornton had his first break when he co-wrote and starred in the 1992 thriller One False Move, and received international attention after writing, directing, and starring in the independent drama film Sling Blade (1996), for which he won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor. He appeared in several major film roles in the 1990s following Sling Blade, including Oliver Stone's neo-noir U Turn (1997), political drama Primary Colors (1998), science fiction disaster film Armageddon (1998), the highest-grossing film of that year, and the crime drama A Simple Plan (1998), which earned him his third Oscar nomination. In the 2000s, Thornton achieved further success in starring dramas Monster's Ball (2001), The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), and Friday Night Lights (2004); comedies Bandits (2001), Intolerable Cruelty (2003), and Bad Santa (2003); and action films Eagle Eye (2008) and Faster (2010). In 2014, Thornton starred as Lorne Malvo in the first season of the anthology series Fargo, earning a nomination for the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or TV Movie at the Emmy Awards and won Best Actor in a Miniseries or TV Film at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards. In 2016, he starred in an Amazon original series, Goliath, which earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama. Thornton has been vocal about his distaste for celebrity culture, choosing to keep his life out of the public eye. However, the attention of the media has proven unavoidable in certain cases, his marriage to Angelina Jolie being a notable example. Thornton has written a variety of films, usually set in the Southern United States and mainly co-written with Tom Epperson, including A Family Thing (1996) and The Gift (2000). After Sling Blade, he directed several other films, including Daddy and Them (2001), All the Pretty Horses (2000), and Jayne Mansfield's Car (2012). Thornton has received the President's Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, a Special Achievement Award from the National Board of Review, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has also been nominated for an Emmy Award, four Golden Globes, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards. In addition to film work, Thornton began a career as a singer-songwriter. He has released four solo albums and is the vocalist of the blues rock band The Boxmasters. more…
