Rommel.

Walkie-walkie.

Jerk!

Hey, baby, it's me.

I thought I'd check in.

They don't turn our phone on until tomorrow,

And I just wanted to say... ah-choo!

Mmm. Good night.

Okay, boy, you've got one phone call.

This is it.

Make it short.

It's taxpayers money you're spending.

Well, drive carefully.

Tell your sister I said hello.

Yeah, you, too.

What's the matter, boy?

Got no one to talk to?

We square on all this?

One giant combination with everything on it.

Couple of sodas...

You sure you can't bring beer?

'Cause I could really use a beer.

Hey, man, what about my phone call?

It looks like bob and Rita Beeson are home.

probably just got in today.

Let's go down and say hello.

That's a good idea.

Rommel.

Come here, boy. Come on.

Honey?

Yeah.

You don't suppose it was Bob and Rita

That almost ran us over, do you?

I'll bet it was Christy or Bobby Jr.

Which one graduated this year?

I can never remember who's older.

Huh?

Oh, my God.

There's a black man in the Beesons' living room.

Look.

He's stealing the stereo.

Rommel! Rommel!

Judy! Get over here.

Rommel! Rommel!

Rommel!

We can't leave Rommel.

Rommel!

He's taking everything.

We've got to call the police.

A heck of a way to start the summer.

subject is male, black,

And is to be considered armed and dangerous.

What are you doing?

Looking for my other glasses.

No, I mean, where are you going?

Watch.

You can't go down there.

You don't know what's going to happen when they arrest that man.

Phil, you're only a lawyer.

Rommel, where's your leash?

what?, look.

The police are here.

That was fast. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Oh!

Damn.

Will you take the flashlight

Out of my eyes?

I'm sorry.

Step away from the car, please.

You folks are going to have to vacate the area.

We've got some trouble up here.

We're the ones who called you.

Officer, it's okay.

My husband is a lawyer.

Yes, ma'am. Yes.

Sir, uh, excuse me.

Oh, sure.

Chief, this couple right over here

Are the people who called in a little while ago.

What are their names?

I don't know.

You didn't get their names?

Evening.

hi.

Chief Tolliver.

You're the people who reported this?

Phil Gillman.

How are you?

Yes, we did.

Judy Gillman. We called right away.

You saw someone in the house?

What was he doing?

Believe me, chief Tolliver,

I'm not racist, I can assure you of that,

But when you see a black man on this island

With his arms full of stereo equipment,

You know damn good and well what he's doing.

You know who owns the house?

Bob and Rita Beeson.

Very nice people.

Have you seen them tonight?

Tell him about the car.

Oh, yes. Yes.

One of the kids...

We don't know which one.

Darn near hit us

While we were walking our dog.

They just got the car for graduation.

You know how kids are.

We see the car in the driveway,

So naturally, we're assuming that the kids are...

Hostages.

Okay, get Riley out here with his ought-six and scope.

Whoa. Whoa.

And I want body armor for everyone,

And I want them to wear it.

I want to thank you folks

For your help tonight.

We only did what anyone on this island would have done.

I think it'd be best if you go back to your house.

I've got a job to do here.

Isn't there anything else we can do to help?

Well, actually, uh,

You could remember me this fall.

if we just stay put,

He might get in that car

And try to drive on out of there.

We've got hostages in there.

What are you going to do, chief?

In an election year?

You're nuts tonight. You really are.

So much excitement for you, huh?

Excuse me. Can you tell me

Where old country road is?

I seem to be lost.

You're on old country road.

I am?

You're not a policeman, are you?

I have the curious habit

Of monitoring certain radio frequencies.

You're a reporter.

All right, gentlemen, you all know what the situation is.

Night ops, chief.

Any questions?

What are your names?

Gillman.

G-I-l-l-m-a-n.

And Judy with a "J."

Tell me what happened.

Well, uh, there was this man- -

It was a black man.

What in the...

Good...

Darn it.

Oh, great.

I see him.

He's coming out. Now take it easy.

Hey, dog.

You want the car?

Put it down!

Okay, okay, they're up.

Drop your weapon!

What?

Police...

Police! You're under arrest!

Drop it!

Let me turn off the alarm!
