Memphis Beat

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, Dwight.

Jerry schilling.

You know who I am, Dwight?

I was one of Elvis' best friends since we were kids.

They called us the Memphis mafia.

They sure did.

I think Elvis would be very proud

Of what you've done for Memphis,

And I wanted to give you something very special.

T.C.B.... Taking care of business.

You got it.

He gave all of us guys one of these.

Mine always meant the world to me,

But I'd like for you to have one now.

Dwight, I hope you'll remember what this means.

Oh, Dwight.

This is the happiest day of my life.

Mama?

Wave to mama.

Tony?

They say that it's better with the second child,

And I have to agree.

She looks a lot like me. Don't you think, Dwight?

Detective Hendricks, watch that mud.

Why are you still standing around

When you don't know what happened to me?

Bella!

Bella?

Where are you, now? Come on out.

Bella, where are you?

Bella! Bella!

Where are you, now? Let me see you.

You found it.

You found it, Detective.

Hey.

Hey. Good morning, sunshine.

Get your butt down to Dorignac's on Madison.

We've got a shooting victim here

That's got some kind of an amnesiatic incident.

Can't even remember his name.

Oh, and pick up some biscuits.

Hello?

Supermarket cashier found him on the way out to her car.

Single shot to the chest just above the ticker.

He's gonna make it, but the guy has no idea who he is.

Hey, buddy. How you doing?

I don't know.

I... I can't remember my name.

I'm married, I guess, but that's all I know.

Oh, and I'm dizzy. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I...

Whitehead: It's fallout from him hitting the concrete so hard

Square on the back of his head.

Didn't have his wallet on him.

Dug through his pocket.

All I found was this junk.

Orange trident... not your usual mint.

Got some pocket lint.

Laundry was done not too long ago.

Clean, possibly vain man.

And a bus pass.

What's a preppy-looking guy doing riding a bus

From the burbs all the way out here?

Oh, yeah.

Uh, guy had that paper on him when he got shot.

Bullet went right through it into him.

What's that?

Is that uncut crank?

It's a hippie crystal.

Guy's wallet's missing.

Sleight of hand's the oldest gypsy trick in the book.

I got no idea about any white man shot.

I mind my own business, read my magazines,

And drinks my tea.

Yeah?

'cause I got a psychic feeling

This white man shut his eyes at your table

And you lifted his wallet.

You at a crossroads. Did you know that, son?

You're gonna have to make a choice,

And you will be tested.

Why don't you cut the crap talk there, miss Angelina?

Guy had one of your crystals,

Which means that he was here for a reading.

So why don't you take a look into your little crystal ball there

And see if your future involves me dragging your ass in for impeding?

Maybe he was here.

I can't tell one white boy from another.

Let's see here. Mm-hmm.

Must've fell out.

I get some kind of reward or something?

Yeah, it's called a verbal warning.

Zachary drake, 314 Montgomery.

You remember him now?

How long ago he come in here?

Uh, hour and a half, maybe.

And you didn't see what happened after he left?

Can't see 10 feet in front of me no more,

On this plane, at least.

What did Mr. Drake come in here for?

He asked me if he was gonna go to hell.

Here's my new tape.

Oh, good. I almost wore the last one out.

It's a little rough... still using my cousin's 4-track.

Man, it's all good.

It gives it a raw, old-school sound.

I had another dream about your sister last night.

Grandma did, too, other night.

Thanks, Dee-Dee. I'll see you tomorrow.

Ladies, gentlemen, it's a beautiful day in Memphis.

So, just remember, let's be safe out there.

Cop: All right.

I got info on our shooting victim...

Zachary drake,

Lives in Germantown with his wife and kid,

Fifth-grade teacher at South Hudson elementary,

Apparently was in orange mound for that psychic reading.

Weapon was a .32... ain't found yet.

So, are you thinking wrong place, wrong time? Looks like it.

Guy stuck out like a sore thumb

In that salmon-colored polo shirt, that's for sure.

Visit the wife.

See if it's more than just a polo-shirt shooting.

That your résumé?

Platinum security?

What's going on here?

Rodney is just 20 credits away from graduating.

Either he puts it off and keeps working

While we try to raise that money Carl took from my account,

Or I find a more lucrative situation than MPD.

Your ex still hasn't paid you back?

You got to be kidding me. You need to... Dwight.

Visit drake's wife.

And keep this between us.

What's up her butt? Lightfoot: Excuse me, Dwight.

On behalf of our union,

I'm organizing an MPD charity calendar

Entitled "the men of MPD."

I'll be holding an open call on Saturday,

And the 12 most photogenic men will be chosen from that,

And we'll definitely be needing somebody for our cover.

Hey, man. I'll be there for you.

So, Dwight, if you...

Sutton: auditions? Man.

I haven't done anything like that

Since that cattle call at the mall for that boy band.

Ooh!

But, yeah, you want me?

You got me, big man.

Dwight, please.

Good luck.

Hey, cover material.

Oh, please. I'm sorry it's such a mess in here.

I've been at the hospital all day.

Appreciate you talking to us, Mrs. Drake.

How's Zachary doing?

Well, uh, because of how hard he hit his head,

Um, his memory's still gone,

But the doctors say,

If his vitals are stable for the next two days,

He can come home.

Mrs. Drake, anything going on in your husband's life

That could have caused him being shot?

I don't think so. I don't know.

Any dangerous habits? Drugs, gambling?

Um...I don't know.

Was it unusual for him to go to that fortune teller?

I mean, he tell you why he went to her?

No, he didn't tell me why.

Noreen, you don't seem to know much

About your husband's habits.

Is there something you're not telling us?

look, I don't know,

And I can't help you find out who did this,

Because...The truth is

My husband has been dead since 2007.

Noreen, your husband's not dead.

He's in the hospital as we speak, and you know that.

Zach's been a ghost for the last three years.

I don't know him anymore.

Are you talking about marital problems or something else?

It's not.

Zach just...Practically overnight stopped eating,

Stopped sleeping, lost all this weight,

And he won't tell me why.

He won't let me help him.
