(2.00 / 6 votes)My name's Dave Robicheaux.
I'm an alcoholic.
Sometimes I'm tempted
to have a drink.
But I never do.
I hope this poor girl
was dead
before he started
carving on her like that.
This poor girl didn't have
a whole lot of good luck, Dave.
In the ancient world,
so their souls would not wander
and afflict the living.
I always thought
this was simply the practice
of superstitious
and primitive people.
But I was about to learn
that the dead
can hover
on the edge of our vision
with the density
and luminosity of mist.
can be as legitimate
and tenacious
as our own.
Could I see your
driver's license, please?
My what?
Driver's license.
Please take it out your billfold,
hand it to me.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Well...
I was
You're Elrod T. Sykes?
Yes, sir,
that's who I am.
Step out the car,
Mr. Sykes.
Yes, sir.
Anything you say, sir.
Mr. Sykes,
I think you've been drinking,
and I know you've been smoking
marijuana in your automobile.
I believe your lady friend there
just ate the roach.
Ooh, well, that wouldn't
be good now, would it?
You're under arrest for driving
while intoxicated, Mr. Sykes.
I'll take you just down the
street here to the city jail.
I'll send a car, take Ms.
Drummond wherever she's staying.
But your
little red sports car
is going to be towed
to the pound.
This is bad news.
This is not on my agenda,
'cause we're just
starting a movie.
I've always enjoyed
all your films.
Ms. Drummond's too.
Take your car keys
out the ignition please.
El, do something.
I feel real bad
about this.
Can he make a contribution
to Mothers Against Drunk Driving
or something like that?
As an admirer of your work,
Ms. Drummond,
I recommend you don't make any
more mentions of contributions.
I recommend
you stay put.
Deputy will be along here in
a few minutes to take you home.
Allons.
You're not going to get sick
in my truck, are you?
No, I'm just fine.
I know where
there's a dead body.
What?
Looks like a big pile
of gristle and bone.
Where was this?
Way the hell out
in Atchafalaya swamp.
We had to pick up a scene near
the old Indian reservation.
I went to take a leak.
I saw it sticking out
of a sandbar.
Get back in the truck.
That swamp full
of old Indian bones.
Yeah, but...
Sorry, I didn't
catch your name.
Dave Robicheaux.
Mr. Robicheaux,
now, if that was
an Indian I found,
I was wondering
what he was doing
with a chain
wrapped around him.
Say that again.
It's a rusted chain
with links
as big as my fist
crisscrossed
around his rib cage.
Can you find
that sandbar again?
Yes, sir,
I believe I could.
I'm going to make
a confession to you,
Mr. Sykes.
DWIs are a pain
in the butt.
If I take you home,
can I have your word
you'll be in my office,
And sober?
Absolutely.
Hey, I really appreciate this.
Elrod Sykes
and Kelly Drummond?
I want to go
to the set.
Sykes is a drunk.
He's huge!
His head
glows in the dark.
Maybe we could get
an autographed movie poster.
No way!
Not for you,
for the hurricane relief fund.
Okay, cool.
Please?
Will you hush?
I'll take her
and look out for her,
if that's
all right with you.
Maybe we could get Kelly
Drummond to sign one too,
pay for somebody's roof.
Please?
It's over yonder.
Hold on there,
Mr. Sykes.
Best put
some of this on.
We used to have
a lot of bats down here,
but the mosquitoes
ate 'em all.
That boy's a long way
from his Hollywood poontang,
