at the time of Angela's death

he wasn't even in the country.

Where was he?

But I've seen his records of

entry and exit to the States,

and I've spoken to his Commanding Officer.

He wasn't in the country, Dixon.

He ain't our guy.

No, he ..

He might not be our guy, but he still

done something shitty. I know he did.

Not in Missouri he didn't.

Where was he?

That's classified information.

Come on, man.

If the guy's got a Commanding Officer,

and if the guy got back to

the country nine months ago,

and if the country where

he was is classified,

which country do you think he was in?

Hey, you know ..

I'll give you a clue.

It was sandy.

That doesn't really narrow it down.

All you need to know is,

he didn't do nothing to Angela Hayes.

So we're gonna keep looking.

Alright?

I found my badge after all.

Hello?

It's Dixon.

Tell me.

He wasn't the guy.

Mildred?

Are you're sure?

He, um, he wasn't even in the

country when it happened.

So, whatever he did,

he didn't do it round here.

I'm sorry I got your hopes up.

It's alright.

At least I had a day of hoping. Which

is more than I've had for a while.

I'd better go.

There was

there was one thing I was thinking.

What's that?

Well... I know he isn't your rapist.

He is a rapist, though.

I'm sure of that.

What are you saying to me?

I got his license plate.

I know where he lives.

Where's he live?

Lives in Idaho.

That's funny.

I'm driving to Idaho in the morning.

Want some company?

Sure.

Hey, Dixon.

Yeah?

I need to tell you something.

It was me who burned

down the police station.

Well, who the Hell else would it have been?

Dixon?

Yep?

You sure about this?

About killing this guy?

Not really.

You?

Not really.

I guess we can decide along the way.
