[Because of the limited personal ability and energy, please correct me for the shortcomings] [Thanks to @弗劳文儿_ for the subtitle translation] [Summarize two sentences briefly] ① The film is mainly developed from the perspective of three characters-Mildre Germany, Willoughby, Dixon. After the midpoint, that is, after the plot of Willoughby’s suicide, the original but basically stable triangle relationship (not only the character itself, but also the three forces: the police, the masses, and Mildred) was broken, which greatly promoted Mi The two of Di changed and grew. Some minor characters, such as Robin, Welby, etc., also have different degrees of growth. People who haven't grown up, such as Dixon's mother, Penelope, etc., are also quite personal. ② The story time allocated by the creator to each main character is basically the same, telling each person's daily morning, noon, and evening in parallel, without any selfishness or privileges, hiding themselves, and allowing the audience to be the only judge. ③ The use of some elements, such as fire: burning billboards, burning police station, burnt Angela, burned Dixon; such as animals: horses, deer, teddy bears, metaphors to Charlie’s girlfriend, etc. Not only does it contain a non-single referent, but it also adds to the film’s interest and interpretation. In addition, the film has cleverly added insights into some social issues, such as black people, homosexuality, the disabled (dwarfs), and wars. ④ The story is in the old bottle and new wine, the events are compact and concise, the characters are lively and plump, and the lines are exquisite. ⑤ There are many foreshadowings buried in the lines, which are intriguing as the plot advances one by one. ⑥ In addition, the use of clothing and music is also a major feature. [Three billboards] 1. A group of dilapidated billboard shots. Title: Three billboards. 2. Three billboards stand on the side of the road outside the billboard section. A car came slowly. 3. In the rearview mirror of the car, the driver Mildred looked at the road ahead. 4. Outer billboard section The Japanese car drove by the billboard and stopped slowly. Mildred looked out the window-subjective shot: dilapidated billboard with a picture of a baby smiling. Mildred thought for a moment, then rolled the car back. The car returned to the position of the first billboard. Mildred could see it-subjective lens: on the dilapidated billboard, the landscape of the mountain and the lake was painted. Mildred poked his mouth with his fingers unconsciously. Subjective shot: The lower part of the billboard says "Aibin Town Advertising Company" in white paint. Mildred thought for a while and started the car. The car moved along the highway and drove off three billboards. 5. The logo of the advertising company is painted on the glass door of the Nei Aibin Advertising Company. Mildred came, looked inside, pushed the door and entered. 6. Neaibin Advertising Company-Office The back of Riyi man (Ryder Welby), holding an open book in his hand. In another office not far ahead, his female colleague Pamela was sorting the shelves. Welby leaned his legs on the messy desk and was sneaking at her from the top edge of the book. Mildred broke in suddenly, blocking his view: Are you Ryder Welby? Welby was taken aback, and quickly cleaned himself up: I am, ma'am. Do you need any help? Mildred walked to the desk: I heard that there are three billboards on the roadside in Drinkwater, and you are in charge of renting them out, right? Welby: I didn't know that we still had billboards on the roadside of Drinkwater. Where is Drinkwater Road? Mildred: After passing by Sethmore's house, a road turned in. No one will go if there is a highway. Welby took out a book and flipped through it. Welby: Gee. You are right. There are three billboards, and no one has posted an advertisement since 1986. The last time it was an ad posted by "Curious". Mildred: How much does it cost to rent these three billboards a year? Welby: One year? You want to rent three billboards that no one passes by? Unless someone gets lost, or is it just a fool to pass by, and rent for a year? Mildred: Stop talking nonsense, can you please, Welby? Welby: Well, it can be regarded as the words that I said to you privately on the desk of the Aibin advertising company, I will give you a good price. So, what did you just say about your name? Mildred: Are there any rules about what to write on the billboard? I guess you can’t write slanderous things, and you can’t write "fuck", "day", "bitch", right? Welby: Uh, or yes, asshole. Mildred: Okay, I don't think there is any problem. (Mildred goes around the desk and puts out a wad of money in front of Welby.) I'll give you five thousand as the first month's rent. I think it should be enough? (Takes out some more papers and hands them to Welby) Here you are, this is what is to be written on the billboard. Why didn't you draft a contract easily? In order to prevent others from renting out these three billboards. Mildred walked to the window. Welby looked at the contents of the paper one by one. On the window sill, a beetle turned upside down, flapping its feet. Welby: I guess you are the mother of Angela Hayes. Mildred: Yes, I am Angela Hayes' mother. Mildred helped the beetle turn over. Mildred: My name is Mildred. (She looks out the window, opposite a police station) How often can you post the advertisement? Welby looked through the calendar: Oh, it should be... Easter, right? Mildred: Perfect. 7. Internal police car The night man (Dixon) sang while driving. 8. On the dark highway, only Dixon's police car was driving. His singing pierced the night sky. 9. The section with billboards outside the road at night, the car drove to the section with three billboards. Dixon looked out. A worker is painting a billboard. Dixon's face gradually became difficult to look. It can be seen that the billboard has black letters on a red background, and the big words "What's going on, Sheriff Willoughby" are prominently written. He stopped, slammed the door and walked towards the workers angrily. Dixon: What the hell is this? Worker A: What? (Spanish) Dixon: "What's going on, Sheriff Willoughby", what is this? Worker A: What? Dixon: To Worker A: Huh? Dixon: What is going on? Worker A: What? Dixon: Listen, from now on, you'd better answer all questions. (Pointing to the brush in the worker's hand) Put that down. The worker put the brush down and pointed a short distance away. Dixon looked in the direction the worker was pointing. The second billboard is also being painted. Dixon returned to the car. He drove the car to the second billboard. Subjective shot of Dixon: The billboard also reads a few large words in black and red on a red background, "The murderer has not yet been arrested?" Dixon parked the car aside: (Talking to himself) What the hell is this? (To a black worker-Jerome) Hey, you, what the hell is this? Jerome: What the fuck? Dixon: (raising hand) This! this one! Jerome turned and looked at it: I guess it was an advertisement. Dixon: What advertising! Jerome turned around and looked at it again: something obscure? Dixon seemed a little speechless: of course, yes. Jerome: Have I seen your face somewhere? Dixon: I don't know, have you seen it? Jerome: Yes, I have seen it. He spat in front of the police car, ready to go away. Dixon: If I want, I can arrest you immediately. Jerome: For what reason? Dixon: It is a violation of...a serious violation of the environmental law to clean up your bucket with... Jerome: Before you arrest me, Officer Dixon, go and take a look at the billboard in front, and then talk to me about the fucking environment. How about it? (Go away) Dixon looks into the distance-Dixon's subjective lens: The first billboard seems to have been painted, and some lights at the bottom highlight it from the night sky. Dixon started the police car and drove towards the first billboard. He stopped in front of the billboard, glanced at it, and said to himself: Fuck. 10. Inside/outside Willoughby House/Billboard Section Ye Willoughby’s family of four was sitting together for dinner. The phone on the table rang. Willoughby was ready to pick it up. Willoughby's wife: Don't pick it up. Willoughby hesitated and accepted it. Willoughby: Dixon, you fucking bastard, I'm having a fucking Easter dinner. (Weird) Sorry kids. // Dixon: I know, Sheriff, I'm sorry to call you, but I think we are in trouble. Dixon walked slowly past the first billboard. The billboard reads "Rape to Death" in the same style. 11. Three big red billboards are particularly eye-catching. Mildred's car approached. 12. Robin, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car on the day of the car, looked back out of the window-Robin's subjective shot: Billboard "What's going on, Sheriff Willoughby?" Robin thought for a while, then looked back- Robin's subjective shot: Billboard "still not arrested the murderer?" Mildred noticed that Robin was looking at the billboard. Robin's subjective shot: the billboard "rape to death" and the two looked at each other speechlessly. 13. The car drove away from the billboard section. 14. The foreign school Zhimildred parked the car on the side of the road. Robin took the bag and walked towards the teaching building without looking back after getting out of the car. Mildred exhaled helplessly and started the car. 15. The car is driving on the street. 16. Inner Street Zhimildred slowly drove the car to the location of Ebin Advertising Company. I saw a few policemen at the door of the company. Willoughby: (to the company employees) No, no, go back! Subjective lens: You can see through the rear windshield that the police lead Welby across the road. Mildred observed the situation through the rearview mirror. 17. Outside shop Zhimildred parked his car outside the shop. Denise was smoking on the porch. Mildred walked towards her. Mildred: Denise, sorry I'm late. Denise handed her the cigarette: Did you post those advertisements on the billboard to censor the group of policemen? Mildred: They deserve it. Denise: Come on, kill the police! Mildred took a sharp breath and flicked the cigarette away. 18. Neaibin Advertising Company-Office Zhiwilloughby sat at Welby's desk. Pamela was sitting in the office behind him. The policeman Cedric was standing next to Welby-as aggressively as Mildred once stood: Welby, what the hell do you want to do, put up those billboards, you never thought of it like this Will there be legal consequences? Welby: (Disdain) Cedric, what are the legal consequences? Cedric: Do you want me to explain to you this little bastard what are the legal consequences? Also, don't call me Cedric! Welby: There is no violation of any law in behavior, no violation of the law in any fucking aspect, I have checked all of them. Cedric: Oh, is it? Where did you find it? Welby: In... the book. Cedric: Which book? Little genius? Welby: The title of the book is "Lick My Asshole, It's Your Ass". Cedric's face became ugly. Willoughby tilted his leg on the desk. Welby: Fuck. Willoughby: How long does this person, or group of people, want to rent these billboards? Welby: Oh, one year. Willoughby: So how long did she actually pay? Welby: One year. Willoughby: So it's a woman, right? Welby: I can't disclose relevant information to you, Sheriff. Willoughby: Mildred Hayes, isn't it? Welby: I can't disclose relevant information to you, Sheriff. Willoughby: Ryder, do you really want to have trouble with the Ebin Police Station? is not it! ? Welby: I think so. 19. Dixon stood angrily at Neaibin Police Station: What did he say? In your presence! ? Cedric: No crime again. Dixon: Please, is not a crime to damage your reputation? Cedric: If she simply asked the question, it would not be considered damage to her reputation. Dixon: What are you, fool? Cedric: Don't call me a fool, Dixon! Dixon: I didn't call you a fool. I was asking if you were a fool. This is a question. Willoughby intervenes: Cedric, he understands what you said. Dixon left the police station: Okay, please! Willoughby towards Dixon: Stop losing your temper! Cedric: Why do you keep this kind of person? Willoughby was about to leave the police station: He was really a good man. Cedric: Bill, he abused the detainee. Willoughby: There is no... tangible evidence to show that. (Leave) 20. Outer Street Dixon, who came out of the police station on the day, hurried across the street: Remove them! Welby is also on the road: What? Dixon: Take that shit away. Welby: What shit was removed? Dixon: Hey boy, (grabs Welby by the collar hard) You don't think I can take you away on Main Street, don't you, Ryder? Welby: I thought you would only take black people away, Dixon. Dixon was about to beat him. Willoughby who rushed to grabbed him. Willoughby: Enough, no, no! Stop, you fucking dare not touch me. Dixon fell to the ground. Welby: Are you drunk? Are you drunk now? Willoughby dragged him up to the police station: Get up! Dixon: No one goes that way anyway! Unless they get lost, they are fools who will pass by. 21. Zhimildred stood by the side of the road outside the billboard, and a TV station interviewed her. Reporter: Don't be nervous, this is the most important thing, just don't be nervous. Don't look at the camera too deliberately, let's wait for the car to pass. (A car drives past) Three, two, one. So, Mildred Hayes, why do you write this on three billboards? 22. Nedixon’s mother was sitting on the sofa and smoking. Dixon took a bottle of beer and sat down. The TV is showing Mildred's interview. Mildred: (os) My daughter, Angela, was kidnapped, raped, and killed seven months ago, right down the road. Dixon: Mom, what are you looking at? Stupid news again? Mildred TV footage: It seems that the local police department is busy abusing our black compatriots and interrupting them to solve the real case. Mildred: (os) I think these three billboards will allow them to focus more on solving real cases. Dixon's mother looked at Dixon. Dixon: Fuck. 23. Neville Robbies Ye Willoughby and his wife were also watching TV, their expressions dignified. Mildred: (os) Honestly, I don’t know what the police are doing... TV picture: Mildred: But I know that my daughter’s charred body is lying on the ground six feet below. The police are still eating their donuts... Mildred: (os) Pursue an eight-year-old skateboarding in the parking lot. Reporter: (os) Also, why did Sheriff Willoughby write it out separately? Mildred: (os) He is their head, isn't he? There are unshirkable responsibilities everywhere. Willoughby's wife looked at Willoughby. Reporter: (os) Willoughby has an unshirkable responsibility? Mildred: (os) Yes. Willoughby has an unshirkable responsibility, and that is him. Willoughby turned off the TV and left. 24. Inner Willoughby's house-Willoughby feeds the horse on the stable day. His wife walked towards him. Willoughby's wife: How are you? Willoughby: It seems we have a battle to fight. 25. Willoughby drove to Mildred's house outside Mildred's house. He walked to the door, stabilized for a moment, and knocked on the door. Mildred opened the door. Willoughby takes off his sunglasses: Can we talk? Mildred nodded slightly and walked to the balcony. 26. Outside Mildred House-Balcony Zhimildred was sitting on a swing. Willoughby looked a little excited when he stood in front of her. Willoughby: We do everything possible to find the person who committed the crime, Mrs. Hayes, but there is no matching DNA among those who have been arrested, and there is no matching DNA among criminals nationwide. From when she left your house to when we found her, there was no witness. Now, we can't do anything further. Mildred: You can call all the men in town, boys over eight years old, for blood tests. Willoughby shook his head: The civil rights law protects their rights, Mrs. Hayes. What if he just passed through our town? Mildred: Then let all men in our country have their blood tested. Willoughby: What if he just passed through our country? Mildred: If it were me, I would build a database, and add the data of every male newborn to the database, so that they would make a mistake, and then check it, there is a 100% correct match, and then kill them. Willoughby was slightly speechless: Okay. Obviously there are civil rights laws to protect these privacy. (Sit on the swing next to Mildred) I have tried everything possible to find him. (Pointing to the billboard in the distance) I think these billboards are not fair to me. Mildred: You have time to run here and complain like a bitch, Willoughby, maybe some poor girls are being slaughtered somewhere. But I’m glad that you can prioritize my case. That’s right. Willoughby shook his head: Mildred, there are some things you don't know. I have cancer and I am dying. Mildred: I know. Willoughby: Huh? Mildred: I know. People in the town basically know it. Willoughby was taken aback: Then you still write this on the billboard? Mildred: After you die, don’t what the billboard says is useless? Mildred shook the swing. Willoughby looked at her for a long time, speechless, then got up, put on his police cap, and left. Mildred closed his eyes and sighed. 27. Inside bar Ye Welby sobbed on a pool cue. The dwarf (James) hit the ball and scored a hole in one. Dixon came from behind with a bottle of beer drunkenly: look, if it wasn't for you fucking instigated this shit... Wellby: I didn't instigate it, Dixon. Dixon: Play billiards with the midgets in town! James: He's right, Ryder, I'm playing billiards with the midgets in town. Welby: He is a policeman, you know, he is very observant. Dixon is about to post to Welby: you know what, I have never liked you, Ryder. Since you were a child with a runny nose, I didn't like you. You still look like a child with a runny nose. Welby: That's unfortunate. I always think you are great. Welby avoided Dixon and stood aside. Dixon: Even your name, Ryder Welby, I don't even like your name. Welby: Well, all right. Dixon: It sounds like a fucking Communist Party or something. Be proud of your name. Welby batting: No, it's because my hair is red that I am called Ryder. Dixon: Wellby, do you know what they do to gays in Cuba? Welby: Wow, the question is weird. I don’t know, what would they do to gay guys in Cuba, Dixon? Dixon: They will kill them. It may surprise you a little, but I am really opposed to it. Welby: I'm not sure if they will kill gay guys in Cuba, Dixon. I know that Cuba’s human rights record is quite bad. Speaking of homosexuality, kill them? Are you sure it doesn't remind you of Wyoming? Dixon: Always so self-righteous. God. (To James) He's great, isn't he? James looked at Dixon without speaking. Dixon: (to Welby) Willoughby is a good guy. Hey, look at me. Hey, look at me, I'm talking to you now, right? I am talking to you well now. He shouldn't take this as his first consideration, he has the last month left. Welby: What last month? Dixon: Oh, you don't know yet? Yes, pancreatic cancer. Mildred suddenly came to the pool table. Mildred: I'm on the next round. You old ladies, Luo Li is wordy. Dixon: It's rude. Welby: Hey, Mildred. James: I saw you on TV the other day. Mildred: Oh, is it? James: Yes, you look really good. I mean, you know, you behave really well when you talk about those things. Dixon leaned on the pool table next to Mildred: I think you behave a little when you talk about those things Children are not good, I think you behaved like a stupid donkey. Mildred: Is it time to go home and find your mother, Dixon? (Drinking beer) Dixon: It's not time yet. (Pointing to the watch) Actually I told her that I didn't go back until twelve. (James hits another hole) Goodness. Dixon hobbled away. James: I'll fight you, Mildred. (Laughs) 28. Nemildred's house Ye Mildred comes in: Hey, Robin? I think the dwarf wants to sleep with me... Father Montgomery? Robin and the priest sat at the table. Mildred threw the key away and walked towards the two of them. Father: Mildred, I’m sorry to bother you so late, but I must say that Robin is really a hospitable host. Let’s not talk about it. He just told me that he had a bad time at school. (Take a sip of tea) Robin: Oh, no, just some people in the team are talking nonsense. Mildred leaned against the wall: What nonsense? (Drinking beer) Father: Billboard, Mildred. That's why, well, I came over to talk to you. Mildred: Oh, continue. Father: Mildred, I know how painful you are. In the past few years, everyone has suffered. If you need any help, we will help you. But the people in the town also know what William Willoughby is like, and the people in the town are very opposed to your billboards. Mildred: Have you investigated, Father? Father: You know, Mildred, if you keep coming to church, you will have some understanding of the deep emotions people have with each other. Many people come to me every Sunday, so yes, I investigated. Everyone supports you very much about Angela, but no one supports you in doing this. Mildred was silent for a moment: Do you know what I am thinking today? I'm thinking about the gangs on the streets of Los Angeles. Do Crips and Bloods know? I’m thinking that in 1988, so many new laws were issued to crack down on the two major street gangs of Crips and Bloods. If I remember correctly, the new law mainly says that if you join any gang, You are a grasshopper on a rope with them. If you walk down the street one night, you don’t know anything, and your accomplices in Crips or Bloods have exchanged fire or stabbed someone, even if you don’t know anything, even if you are just standing Sitting on the corner of the street is your own business. The new law will rule you guilty. Your first act of joining the Crips or Bloods gang will make you guilty. Father, this inspired me. Is this situation like the boys in your church? You have a uniform color, you have a clubhouse, and you are, better to say, a gang. If you smoke and read the Bible upstairs, you help a Polaroid accomplice to fuck the patron by the altar downstairs, priest, just like Crips and Bloods, you are guilty because you joined the gang! I don’t care if you do it, see it, or even hear the shit, you join You are guilty of this gang. A person becomes guilty for fucking the waiter by the altar. I know you guys don’t really want to suppress these things (laughs), then they have lost their way and came to my house with me. Discuss the rights of my birth, my daughter, and my billboard. So, why don't you finish the tea. Father, get out of my kitchen when you finish drinking. Mildred walked into the back room. The priest didn't slow down for a while, while Robin was on the sidelines. Robin: But anyway, thank you for coming, Father. 29. Zhiwilloughby sat there in the internal hospital with a very uncomfortable expression-a male doctor was injecting something into his arm. Doctor: How do you feel, Bill? Willoughby: It's like getting cancer in a major organ. Doctor: (smiling) Okay, I just want you to know about Mildred Hayes, we are all on your side. Willoughby: (Angry) If I fucking hear you say it again... Willoughby snatched the needle and threw it on the wall, making the wall stained with blood. He tore off the tube tied to his hand and threw it on the table. Willoughby: I won't fucking do it, I can't wait to waste my life! Willoughby left angrily. 30. Dixon, wearing sunglasses, was lying on the table at the Nei Aibin police station. He pressed a comic book under his hand. Willoughby comes in from outside: Stop reading the fucking comics, look for the Hayes case file! Dixon took off his sunglasses and cartoons: Is it the case of Angela Hayes or the case of Mildred Hayes? Willoughby: There is no Mildred Hayes case at all! Dixon: We received two official complaints about billboards, so, actually... Willoughby: Who complained? Dixon flipped through the notebook: a lady with a funny eye, and a fat dentist. Willoughby was speechless for a moment: Give me the files of the Angela Hayes case. "A lady with a fucking funny eye"? God. Willoughby shook his head and left, leaving Dixon alone. 31. Under the outer billboard Riyi was flipping through a booklet full of photos of charred corpses with both hands-Willoughby was flipping through the booklet. Dixon was beside him. He felt nauseated by the photos, bent over and retched. Willoughby: Drinking late? Dixon slowed down: No. Willoughby: Don't bother with Welby anymore. Dixon: (surprised) What would you do if I had sex with him? Willoughby: I'll kick your mother's teeth out. Dixon: (laughs) You won't. (Seeing Willoughby's face serious) Who do you hear that I pestered him, is it a dwarf? Willoughby pushed Dixon: What the hell are you talking about? I'm fucking focusing! Fuck the dwarf! Dixon walked away angrily, trying to light a cigarette. Willoughby knelt down and took off his sunglasses. There was a smudge on the grass in front of him. The two were under the "What's going on, Sheriff Willoughby?" under the billboard. Dixon: What are you looking for? There is nothing to find. Willoughby was also somewhat clueless. 32. Mildred in the internal dentistry was lying on the examination chair: I don't know what's going on, it seems to be loose. Dentist: Well, if it becomes loose, then the tooth must be extracted. Mildred: (Strange) Don't you want to see it first? The dentist looked at Mildred's mouth casually. Dentist: Tooth must be extracted. The dentist took out a piercing drill and prepared to start work. Mildred: Can you give me a shot of Novocaine, doctor? The dentist put the drill down and picked up a syringe to inject Mildred's gums. Mildred looked uncomfortable. The dentist removes the needle tube: Wait a moment. But before long, the dentist picked up the drill again. Dentist: I just want to say that there are many friends of Bill Willoughby in town, Mrs. Hayes. Mildred grabbed the drill bit and pressed it against the dentist's finger. Dentist: No! pain! stop! do not want! God! A hole was drilled in the dentist's thumb cover, and blood was flowing. Dentist: Fuck! The dentist screamed constantly, squatting against the wall in pain. Mildred threw the drill aside, picked up a glass of water, and stood in front of the dentist. Mildred: So why don't you tell Bill Willoughby's best friends, tell him to do the fucking job, fat guy? Mildred rinsed his mouth and vomited water on the dentist's face. 33. Inside shop Mildred, who was wearing work clothes, was packing up things in the shop when a police siren suddenly sounded outside the window. You can see through the shop window that a police car is approaching. Mildred and Denise looked at each other. Willoughby and Dixon came in one after another. Willoughby: Hey, Mildred! Did you happen to miss the dentist today? Mildred's anaesthetic strength hasn't passed yet, and his words are unclear: No. Willoughby: Huh? Mildred: I said I didn't go. Willoughby: Oh, then it wasn't you who drilled a hole in Jeffrey's fat thumb? Mildred: Of course not. Willoughby: Huh? Mildred: I said of course not. Denise: (Laughs) Did you drill a hole for the dentist? Mildred: No, Denise, I don't. Willoughby: I think it's quite interesting, but he wants to file a lawsuit, so I'm afraid we have to take you there. 34. The second floor of the inner police station-interrogation room Zhimildred's subjective perspective: Welby and Pamela are talking and laughing on the second floor of Ebin Advertising Company. Mildred watched them through the blinds, smiled, and then sat back at the table. Dixon stood guard by the door. Mildred: So what happened to the nigger abuse, Dixon? Dixon: It is now called the abuse of "colored people". If you really want to know, I haven't abused anyone. (Excited) What's the matter with you? What the fuck is said on TV, my mother is watching! Mildred: Doesn't your mother know what you abused? Dixon walked to Mildred: No, she didn't know anything, she opposed this kind of thing! Willoughby comes in: Who opposes something? Dixon pointed at Mildred: My mother is opposed to "abuse of people of color"! She just said "abusing a nigger", and I told her that you can't say "abusing a nigger", you have to say "abusing a person of color"! Am I right, sheriff? Willoughby: I think I will take care of Mrs. Hayes from now on, Jason. (Patting Dixon on the shoulder) Dixon was stunned: Good sheriff, I'm outside. Dixon gestured "I have been looking at you" to Mildred and went out. Mildred looked at Willoughby helplessly. Willoughby shook his head: Don't look at me like that. If you dismiss all police officers with slight racist tendencies, there will only be three police officers left, and these three police officers may still be homophobic. (Laughs) What can you do? You know. I want to know something, Mildred. Why would you drill a hole in poor fat Jeffrey's thumb? Mildred: That's nothing. He slipped his hand and accidentally drilled a hole for himself. (Pretending to be surprised) Did he say that I did it? I think this is what he said to me, huh? It's a bit like the rape cases you heard about, except that this time, the chick is not a loser. Willoughby: It's really not a question of winning or losing, is it, Mildred? I mean, do you think I really care about who we lose and who wins? Do you think I really care about the dentist? I don't care about the dentist at all, no one cares about the dentist. What I really care about, or what I’m really interested in, is that the longer you spend in court, the shorter your working time in the gift shop, so short that you can’t get a penny of salary at all, then you Can't afford to rent the billboard next month. This is what I am really interested in. Mildred: I also saved some money. Willoughby: I heard that you only paid for this month's billboard fees after selling your ex-husband's tractor, right? By the way, how is old Charlie? He still works with the beautiful guy at the zoo Do the little interns live together? Mildred: He still lives with the pheasant that smells like shit. I don't know if the zoo can deodorize her. I still hope so. Willoughby: (laughs) How old is she? 19 years old? Still quite clever. Mildred: Go ahead and guess. Willoughby: What does Charlie think of your billboards? A former policeman like Charlie... Mildred: The former policeman is no different from the one who beat the former wife, right? Willoughby: But he is different from what you said, right? Charlie doesn't know yet, does he? Mildred: It's none of his business. Willoughby: But it's the money he paid, isn't it? Mildred: The money I paid. Willoughby: You paid for this month, then... Willoughby suddenly coughed blood on Mildred's face. Mildred was frightened. Willoughby is sorry: I didn't mean it... Mildred: I know... Willoughby: It was an accident... Mildred got up: I know, baby. Willoughby: It's blood... Mildred: (hurriedly) I'll call someone... Willoughby coughs. Mildred hurriedly opened the door of the interrogation room: (os) Hey! 35. Riwilloughby was lying on a stretcher at the entrance of the foreign police station. The doctor was transporting him to an ambulance. Willoughby: Let her go. Dixon followed: Sheriff... Willoughby: Just let her go! Mildred's subjective perspective: Willoughby was carried into an ambulance. Dixon: Slow down, slow down, slow down. (Towards Willoughby) Hey. Dixon stretched out his hand to greet Willoughby. The whistle of the ambulance faded away. 36. Inside car Mildred's car was driving on the night road. Robin was sitting in the co-pilot. It seemed a little surprised. Robin: Can birds get cancer? Mildred: Huh? Robin: Birds, can they get cancer? Mildred: I don't know. Dogs can get cancer. Robin: Okay, I'm not talking about dogs, okay. Mildred was speechless. Robin: It's nice to see "rape to death" on the way home. Because if you don’t think of her for two seconds in a day or how she died, "You should think more about this, why don’t you think about it", that’s also great. People try to avoid thinking about it as much as possible. The details of when it happened, because he felt that it would not bring any good effects, and he also felt that he could not bear these. You see how good it is to use these 20-foot-tall fonts and fine prints to describe in detail the last minute details of her death. It's not enough for her to be raped, it's not enough for her to die, "rape to death"! Thank you, mom. Mildred: In the police report I gave you... Robin: I didn't read it at all. (Smiles wryly) I'm fucking depressed enough. Robin is angry but has nowhere to vent. The car passed the billboard. 37. Robin slammed the door at Nemildred's house night and shut himself in the bedroom. Mildred in the corridor looked helplessly. She walked to the door of a room (Angela's room) with a sticker affixed with the word "Danger" and pushed it aside. Moonlight filled the room. The room was covered with posters and neatly laid out. Mildred did it by the side of the bed. Angela: (os) Mom! Mildred: What's wrong? Angela: (os) Are you not going out tonight? 38. Nemildred House-Kitchen Mildred was washing the dishes that night. Mildred: Denise and I are going to have a few beers. Angela wears a jacket: Will Denise drive you there? Mildred: Angela, why don't you just ask if you can lend you the car? Angela: Can you lend me the car? Mildred: No. Angela: Bitch! Mildred: If you can talk to me well and don't call me a bitch, (somewhat angry) I'll give you money for a taxi! Angela: (Angry) You wouldn't lend me a car at all, why did you ask me to ask you to borrow it? Mildred: Because it's fun! You have been smoking marijuana for a day. Angela: You hypocrite! Mildred: Hypocrite? Angela: Yes. Mildred put the bowl down: how to say? Angela: When we were kids, you drove us drunk. Mildred: What are you talking about? Angela: Dad told me. Mildred: When did you meet him? Robin has been sitting at the table. Angela: Don't change the subject. When we were children, did you not drive us drunk? Mildred: One time, maybe. Angela: Oh, once, all right! Mildred: When he almost shit me... Angela: We only heard what you said, right? Robin: Angela, for the sake of God... Angela: Oh Robin, why are you never on my side! Robin: I was on your side when you were not a bitch! Mildred, Angela: Hey! Mildred: Our family does not allow the term "smelly bitch" to appear anymore, understand it, sir? Robin: What, are you moving out? This is a stalk. Angela: So do you want to lend me the car? Mildred: Why don't you walk over, Angela? Why don't you walk over! Angela: Do you know that I will walk over, (leave the kitchen, ready to go out) I will walk over, do you know? I wish I was raped halfway! Mildred followed: Really? Well, I also hope you were raped halfway! 39. Ne Mildred's house night Mildred stood at the door and stared for a moment, then left Angela's room. 40. Billboards under the blue sky and white clouds. 41. Inner hospital ward Ye Willoughby sits on the hospital bed with his wife Anne by her side. The doctor stood at the door of the ward. Doctor: You need to stay in the hospital for a few days. You shouldn't cough up blood now. Willoughby: (Laughs) Yeah, I think so, doctor. Doctor: (Laughs) I'll come back this morning, Annie. (Leaving) Annie: I'm going to get your coat here? Willoughby: You also know that I won't be hospitalized... Annie: You also know that I won't persuade you. Annie leaves. Willoughby choked on his own. 42. The sun shines on Mildred's house. 43. Nemildred's house-kitchen morning Robin is preparing breakfast for himself. Mildred was at the table, watching Robin while eating breakfast. Robin sat down to her side with breakfast. The two were speechless for a while, each eating their own meals. Suddenly Mildred whistled and flicked a scoop of oatmeal into Robin's face. Mildred: Russia and Europe. Robin tried to suppress his anger: you old bitch. Mildred: I'm not old, Robin. At this time Robin saw something, turned his anger into joy, got up and ran towards the door: It was Dad here! Mildred put down his breakfast. 44. Outside Mildred's house-porch A sports car parked outside the door in the morning. Robin's father, Charlie, walked up the steps, and Robin greeted him: Hey, dad, how is it? Charlie: Where is that crazy woman? Robin pointed to the room, and Charlie quickly walked into the room. Robin beckoned to the sports car again-the co-driver of the sports car, Charlie's young girlfriend Penelope, waved to Robin in response. Robin enters the house. 45. Nemildred House Morning Charlie walked quickly to the table: There is fucking crispy rice in the child's hair! What's going on here, and what the hell is going on with those billboards, Mildred? Robin stood aside. Mildred: It's self-explanatory, isn't it? Charlie: Why can't you explain to me? Mildred: That's not self-explanatory. Well, you know, I want some people to remember what they should do in their minds, that's it. I haven't heard a word from you for seven months, but I also tell you that since I have these billboards, I have also heard a lot of things. Charlie: Do you think this will make them concentrate? Um? Let me tell you what they do to concentrate on. They focused their energy on how to kill you well. Mildred: The more you expose a case to the public, the greater the chance that the case will be resolved. All the guides say so, Charlie. Charlie: How much did these billboards cost? Mildred: About the amount of money for a tractor. Robin laughed. Charlie: What the fuck are you laughing at? Robin: Nothing. Charlie: I was mocked by a man with rice in his hair. Robin: How is Penelope? Charlie: Huh? she's fine. Robin: Why don't you invite her in? Don't leave her outside. Mildred: Is she here? Charlie: She is in the car. Mildred: Oh, that makes sense. Charlie: What did you say? Mildred: How did I smell something. Charlie overturned the table angrily, pinched Mildred by the neck, and pressed her to the wall. Robin rushed over with a fruit knife and put it on Charlie's neck from behind. Charlie: Let go of her! Penelope: (os) Oh, uh... The three entangled people looked back at the door. Penelope didn't know when he came in: I want to use the bathroom. If it is really inconvenient, I see it is indeed inconvenient, I can hold it back, okay. This relaxes the atmosphere a bit. Charlie and Robin put down their contents. Robin: The first door along the corridor. Penelope: Are you sure? I think I'm disturbing... Charlie: You pee your pee! Penelope: All right. (Go to the toilet) Charlie and Robin put the table back together. Mildred sat down at the table, playing with the fruit knife Robin had brought. Mildred: You have said what you want to say, okay? Why didn't you get out of my house with your zoo girl, okay? Penelope comes out of the toilet: Uh, actually, the zoo is very wise. Unfortunately, the zoo will also drive people away. There seems to be a "last in, first out" rule. So, yes, it’s unfortunate that the zoo had to let me leave, but they also hired disabled riders to take care of the horses, so I’m working there now to take care of the disabled’s horses. The three people in the room were speechless. Charlie waved his head to let Penelope out. Penelope goes out. Charlie: Don't say a word. Mildred: I can't say a word. Charlie: Don't you feel stumped that I also hope that this never happened? (Sit down) Don't you think I hope she can still be here too? (Choked) Mildred holds Charlie's hand: I know, I know. Charlie: Billboards won't bring her back, Mildred. Mildred: Neither can you fuck a 19-year-old girl, Charlie. Charlie: Yes. But I understand. Mildred withdrew his hand: Go ahead. Charlie got up to leave: Okay. I am a bad father, and you are a great mother, all right. So what is going on here? She came to me a week before she died and asked if I could move in with me, because she couldn't stand you two bitches anymore. I never want to fight with you anymore... Mildred: I don't believe it. Charlie: I told her "No, stay home, your mother loves you". Thinking about it now, I shouldn't have let her go back then. Because if I didn't let her go back, she would be a fucking alive. Mildred: (sobbing) I don't believe you! Charlie: Then don't believe me. Ask your stupid boy. (Leaving) Mildred: Is what he said true? Robin leaned against the kitchen wall: I don't know, mother. Mildred: You know. 46. ​​In the living room of Nedixon's home day, Dixon's mother is pouring a drink into a cup. Dixon came over with the food and sat on the sofa: Please, it's Donald Sutherland again! What is this, funny Donald Sutherland? Mother Dixon: I like her, I like her hair. Dixon: Hair! (Laughs) Mother Dixon: This is where her little daughter died. Dixon: Why is there always such a plot in the movie! (Sneer) Mother Dixon: Speaking of the dead child, how is the billboard lady? Dixon: Oh, that guy doesn't listen to anything, it's as stubborn as old boots! Mother Dixon: Oh, how come you don’t need to punish her friends the way you punish her? Dixon: Huh? Mother Dixon: You know, why don't you break her friend first? She won't get in your way. Does she have a friend who can fix it? Dixon chewed on beef jerky and remained silent. 47. Outer shop Morning Mildred comes to work in the shop. When she was about to open the store, she saw a sticky note on the store door that said "I was arrested-Denise". Mildred tore off the note: bastard. 48. Outer Street Morning Mildred walked to the police station. 49. Neaibin Police Station Morning Mildred went into the police station and shouted at a pair of feet on the desk: Hey, bastard! Dixon put his feet on the table. Dixon: What's wrong? Cedric on one side: Don't respond to her "what's wrong", Dixon, she calls you a bastard as soon as she comes in, don't you come in... Mildred: Shut up! (To Dixon, severe) You, come here. Dixon: No. You, come over to me! Mildred: Good. (Walking towards Dixon quickly) Cedric: What? Don't... Dixon! (Also walks to Dixon) Dixon: What's wrong? I'll deal with it. Cedric: You can't allow anyone to call you an asshole at the police station! Mildred looked at Cedric. Dixon: It's just my business, I'll take care of it, don't worry about it. Leave me alone! (Cedric walks away) Mrs. Hayes, find a place to sit. What can I do for you today? Mildred: Where is Denise Watson? Dixon: Denise Watson is in prison. Mildred: What crime did you commit? Dixon: Possession of contraband. Mildred: What contraband? Dixon: Two marijuana cigarettes, a very serious crime. Mildred: When is the bail hearing? Dixon: I told the judge that she could not be released on bail because she had previously illegally possessed marijuana, and the judge also said that she could not be released on bail. Mildred: You fucking bastard. Dixon got up and looked at Mildred. Dixon: You can't call a law enforcement official a bastard, Mrs. Hayes. In fact, you can't call it that anywhere. Mildred: Where did your new tough attitude come, Dixon? What your mother taught you? (Preparing to leave) Dixon: No. My mother didn't teach me. I removed the billboard, do you hear it? Mildred gave a glare and left the police station. Cedric: Well done, Dixon. Dixon: Yeah, I know I did a good job. Dixon tried to throw a snack high into his mouth, but he didn't succeed. 50. Outer Lakeside The Zhiwilloughby family is by the lake. The two daughters were sitting on the blanket with a fishing rod, and Willoughby put toys on the blanket. Annie smiled. Willoughby: Now, there are two rules. Children can't leave this damn blanket, not at any time, and all the dolls and teddy bears here must be hooked up. Now, your mother and I will monitor your every move. It may seem that we have not done so. When we monitor you, the most important rule is not to leave the blanket! The second important rule is that at any time, don't let the fishing rod get into anyone's eyes, because this will backfire the whole action! What will happen? Daughters: The whole action backfired. Willoughby: Then the team, (take a bottle of wine, put a blanket on him) and start fishing. Annie is holding a wine glass in her hand. Willoughby led her away. Annie: We are not going to... Willoughby: We are going to. The girls were playing by the sparkling lake. 51. Outside billboards, the billboards watched Mildred's car. She was moving something under the billboard—Mildred had moved some big flower pots over and was sorting the flowers in the pots. Suddenly, she was attracted by something not far away, and stopped what was in her hands-it was a deer grazing. Mildred: (Rejoicing) Hey, baby. The deer looked up at the billboard. Mildred: (Laughs) Yeah, it hasn't been arrested yet. I want to know what's going on. There is no God in the world. The world is empty. What we do with each other has no effect at all, right? Oh I hope not. (Do it on the flowerpot) Why did you come here instead of somewhere else? you are pretty. You don’t want me to believe in some reincarnation, do you? Well, you are beautiful, but you are not her. She was killed, she left us forever. (Laughs) But thank you for coming. I will definitely give you the things I eat again, but now I am a little bit three-dimensional and crispy. You may die if you eat them. They are very sharp. So what are we going to do? The deer left. Mildred buried his head and cried: Oh, Mildred. 52. Neaibin Advertising Company-Office Zhimildred sat at Verby's desk. Welby stood in front of the computer with his hands on the table, looking a little nervous. Welby: Yes, so I, um, just glanced at the contract we signed earlier, and I found out, I found out that although you have already paid the money at the beginning of the month. But the first amount of money you pay is actually a security deposit, not the rent as we said before, so in fact, in fact, you have not actually paid the rent yet, yes, the first month's rent. Yes, that's, um, it's written in the contract, you can check it out. The lawyer said the same. Mildred: Ryder, when will I pay this money at the latest? Welby: Well, now...or is it week...Friday? Mildred: (sarcasm) Wow. When you can’t trust lawyers and advertisers, how the hell can the United States continue to develop, huh? Who bought you, Ryder? Willoughby? Welby sat down: No one bought me. Mildred: No fucking big ass. Welby: (seriously) He is dying, Mildred. Mildred: We will all die! Pamela suddenly came in excitedly holding an envelope: Ryder! Welby: Oh hello, Pamela! We are a little busy now, if you can... Pamela: Oh Ryder, I know, I know you are anxious about telling Mrs. Hayes these things this morning. Welby: Anxiety, no... Pamela: But this has something to do with you, it's really unbelievable! (Gives the envelope to Welby) A little Mexican boy brought this over. Welby took out the contents of the envelope-a wad of dollar bills. Welby: What the hell is this? Pamela: I knew it! It's five thousand dollars! What's on the note? It says that this is money for renting Mrs. Hayes' billboard! Do you dare to believe it? That's why I just rushed in! Welby: Okay, who sent it from? Pamela: Not written. Welby: Okay, where did the money boy go? Pamela: He is gone. Welby: Did you see which store he came from? Pamela: No... Wellby: What kind of uniform is he wearing? Pamela: He is just the kind of ordinary, fat Mexican boy, riding a bicycle. Welby and Mildred were lost in thought. Pamela: Did I do something wrong? Welby: No, Pam, you did a great job. Mildred: Yes, Pam, you did a great job. Pamela: (with a long sigh of relief) Really, great. Is life crazy? (Leaving happily) Mildred: What's on the note, Ryder? Welby flips in the dollar bills Find a note. Welby: It says, uh, "Please donate this money to the Mildred Hayes Billboard Fund, because she is not the only one who hates the group of pigs, autographs, and a friend." Mildred: Goodness, there is no way to pick any kind of people to be friends these years. (Stands up) Well, I think I need you to get a receipt now, Ryder. You know, just write down the rent for the month in full. Welby: Oh, of course, Mildred, of course. Mildred: Write it now. Welby: Oh, good! 53. Inner Willoughby House-Daughter's Bedroom Night Willoughby's daughter is lying in bed and getting ready to go to bed. Willoughby kissed his first daughter's forehead. Daughter A: Is mother drunk, father? Willoughby: No, no, she just has a migraine, a chardonnay migraine. (Kissing daughter 2) You two are not allowed to chirp anymore, okay? (Sitting on the edge of the bed) Daughter A: Dad, can we stay at home without going to school tomorrow? Willoughby: It depends on what your mother will say tomorrow morning, dear. The daughters are disappointed: Oh... Willoughby: Close your eyes. Go to sleep, okay? 54. Inner Willoughby’s house night Annie is lying on the sofa. Willoughby kissed her. Willoughby: There is no smell of vomit anymore. very good. Annie: Aquafresh toothpaste, a little trick I learned. Willoughby: (laughs) Oh, woman? You should shovel the horse shit from the stable, you know? Annie: Fuck those horses! They are your fucking horses, I'm going to shoot all those damn horses! Willoughby: Let me do it, you lazy bitch. Annie: Thank you, Dad. Willoughby laughed. Annie: What a beautiful day. There is also a good shot. Mr. Willoughby, your cock is awesome. Willoughby: (laughs) Is this sentence in which script? What I remember is "Mr. Willoughby, your cock is so beautiful." I saw it once in Shakespeare's plays. Annie: You idiot, it's Oscar Wilde's script. 55. Inner Willoughby House-Stables The lights are on in the stables at night. Willoughby stood in the stable, stroking the horses lightly. Afterwards, Willoughby opened the gate and walked into the clearing, pulling out a black pocket from his pocket. The horses watched Willoughby's every move. Willoughby: Oscar. Wilde. (Laughs) He put the black pocket on his head, took out the pistol-pointed it at his temple. At this time, you can see that there is a note on the pocket that says "Don't take off your headgear, call the police." Willoughby squeezed the trigger-a loud noise alarmed the horses. Willoughby fell to the ground. 56. Willoughby's letter (the picture is silent) Willoughby lies motionless on the ground. Willoughby: (os) My dear Annie, there is a longer letter in the drawer of the dressing table. I have probably written that letter since last week... It seemed that Annie had a premonition lying on the sofa. Willoughby: (os) That letter included us, and our shared memories... Annie got up and checked. Willoughby: (os) and how much I love you. This one only talks about tonight, and more importantly today... Annie's subjective lens: In an empty room, a letter stands on the table. Willoughby: (os) I have gone to the stables to end my life tonight. I can't apologize for what I did... Annie understood something and sobbed Willoughby: (os) Although I know that you will be angry with me for the time being, and you will even hate me for it... Annie knelt in pain. Willoughby: (os) Please don't do that. This is not like "I came to this world alone... My daughters came to see Anne kneeling on the ground. Willoughby: (os) I will also leave this world alone" or something like that. Same. I didn't come to this world alone, my mother was with me. I didn't leave this world alone either... Annie cried so much that her daughters were terrified behind her. Willoughby: (os) Because of you by my side. You are lying on the sofa drunk, joking with Oscar Wilde's cock (cock)... The horses themselves have come out of the gate, eating the grass in the garden. Willoughby was still lying there. Willoughby: (os) In a sense, this is the cause of courage. Not the courage to be killed by a bullet. In the next few months, the pain will get worse and worse, and it will be different from the previous little fight... Annie came to the stable, saw Willoughby on the ground, and leaned weakly against the wall. Willoughby: (os) No, this is courage that has been weighed. I hope that in the next few months, I will still be with you, still be able to wake up with you, and play with the children. And the reality is that in the next few months, what you see in your eyes will be the torture caused by my illness... Annie plucked up the courage to move forward. The horses are in the grass. Willoughby: (os) I'm getting weaker Your body, you will regard these as the last memories for me, and I don’t want you to be like this... A teddy bear half-soaked in water by the river. The river kept scouring it. Willoughby: (os) Your last memory of me will be us by the river, and that stupid fishing game. I think they must have cheated... Annie lay on the bed with her daughters in her arms, and wept silently . Willoughby: (os) And I'm in your body, you're in my body, almost no darkness flashes through... Willoughby's hood is full of blood. Cedric slowly took off his headgear in pain. Willoughby: (os) That would be the best, Annie. I didn't think about other things all day long. Baby, think about this day carefully, because this is the best day of my life... Willoughby wrote this letter at the table before his death. Willoughby: (os) Kiss the children for me, remember that I love you forever. If there is another place to meet you, we will meet again. If there is not such a place, then meet in heaven. Your boy, Bill. Willoughby put the stack of letter paper neatly into the envelope, then stood the envelope in front of the vase on the table and left. At this point, you can see Annie lying on the sofa sleeping. 57. During the day, outside the Aibin police station, life is still the same. 58. Dixon at the Japanese Aibin police station listens to music with headphones on, enjoying himself. Outside the window behind him, several police officers could be seen comforting the sad Cedric. Later these police officers entered the police station one after another, but Dixon still didn't know it, and accompanied the singing to observe a toy with a magnifying glass. Cedric said something to the police station, and everyone showed sad expressions. A police officer picked up a chair and fell sharply. The voice "woke up" Dixon. He took off his headphones and looked at everyone with a smile: What the fuck? Cedric and others looked at Dixon solemnly. Dixon seemed to realize something, and his smile slowly disappeared: What's wrong? 59. Ri Aibin Police Station-Dixon hugged Cedric in the toilet and cried bitterly. Cried enough and washed my face. Cedric: Can you stand still now? Dixon: Yes. I can stand. Cedric: I'd better go out first to comfort everyone. Are you dizzy anymore? Dixon shook his head. Cedric left. Dixon was panting, rubbing his face in anger and sadness. Relax for a moment and tidy up your clothes in front of the mirror. 60. Dixon wears police equipment in the Chen Aibin police station. Dixon: (os) I know... the best way and the only way to commemorate our friends... Dixon looked through the blinds-subjective perspective: Welby was by the window on the second floor of the advertising agency. Dixon: (os) is to go to work, to be a good policeman, to think in his way, to do the work he does every day in his life, and to help others. Dixon walked quickly out of the police station and toward the advertising agency, ignoring the traffic on the street. He smashed the glass door of the advertising agency with a truncheon and went upstairs to find Welby-Welby: What the hell happened? He knocked Welby to the ground with the butt and spit on Welby. He smashed the window with a baton again— Dixon: Where are you going? He grabbed Welby and threw him out the window. Pamela's screams were heard from the office next door. Dixon walked over - Pamela screamed: You are a fucking dead pig! What the fuck are you doing! Dixon knocked her to the ground with a punch: Shut up! Dixon walked downstairs quickly. The bloody Welby crawled slowly on the street. Dixon stepped on Welby’s foot and punched Welby’s face again— Dixon: Did you see it, Ryder? I also get into trouble because of white people. Dixon swaggered back to the police station. A black sheriff stood in front of the police station looking at Dixon— Dixon: What the hell are you looking at? Dixon returned to the police station and closed the door. The black sheriff left. 61. Morning Mildred House-Kitchen Nemildred took the milk from the refrigerator and prepared breakfast for himself. Robin was already at the table. TV: (os) This is what happened last night. Sadly, Chief William Willoughby of Ebin, Missouri committed suicide in his home earlier today. Gabriel Freys was on the scene to broadcast for everyone... Mildred stopped what he was doing when he heard the news, and walked to the TV in amazement. TV: The tragedy happened suddenly to this peaceful family, in the home of Sheriff William Willoughby, located on the outskirts of Ebin, Missouri. His wife Anne, and his two young daughters, Polly and Jenny live together... Mildred choked. TV: (os) Shooting suicide ended the life of Sheriff Willoughby. Sheriff Willoughby is highly respected in Ebin Town, and his hard work and dedication to the community are obvious to all. What caused the suicide is still unclear. There are rumors that it is due to illness, and there are also rumors that it is the great pressure caused by work, and it may be related to a news about billboards that we reported two weeks ago. A lady posted an ad, Mildred Hayes... Mildred heard this and turned off the TV. She looked back at Robin. Robin was speechless. 62. The morning school/car outside/in Mildred's car came and stopped at the school gate. A male student threw a carton of milk at the windshield of the car. Milk splashed on the windshield. // Mildred opened the door quickly. Robin tried to hold her: no, no! // But it didn't hold on. Mildred has moved quickly towards the student. The male student and several others were standing there arrogantly. Mildred: Hey, do you know who threw that jar? Male student: What jar? Mildred kicked him sharply in the lower body. The male student knelt in pain. Mildred asked the female student aside: How about you dear? Do you know who threw the jar? Female student: Uh don't know, I really didn't see... Mildred also kicked her in the lower body. The female student also fell. Mildred looked at another boy wearing glasses, who shook his head in fright. Mildred walked back into the car. Robin stood by the car: Thank you very much, Mom. Mildred drove off the car. 63. Ri Aibin Police Station Several police officers inside were chatting around Dixon's desk. At this time, a black man came in and caught their attention-it was the black sheriff who witnessed Dixon's beating that day. Cedric: Sir (os), what can I do for you? Black Sheriff: What is your name? Cedric stood at the front desk: My name tag has a name, do you have dyslexia? The black sheriff approached him: Dyslexia? No, no, very good, "dyslexia", it seems a bit like "hearing impaired". But in fact it is "dyslexia". It's like a word game or something, huh? Cedric: What do you want to do? Black Sheriff: I was sent to take over this police station. In view of the unfortunate incident that happened last night, I came to take over as Sheriff Willoughby. Dixon: Are you fucking kidding me! The black sheriff glanced diagonally behind Dixon, who had his legs on the table. Cedric: Sir, do you have any documents to prove it? Black Sheriff: Do you really want to see my documents, bastard? Dixon: Yes, look at his supporting documents! Let him show it to you. Black Sheriff: Are you bastards who are not working? Dixon: (whispering) Isn't this racial discrimination? The sheriffs around Dixon dispersed and went to do their things. The black sheriff walked up to Dixon: What happened to your hand, Officer Dixon? Dixon: Oh, just hurt when he threw a guy out of the fucking window, (laughs) customary. Black Sheriff: Oh, is it? They never taught me this at the police school. (Sit at the corner of the desk) Dixon: Which police school did you go to the fuck? The black sheriff scanned Dixon's desk. Subjective perspective: The desk is sloppy facing things, the dossier is still in the corner. Black Sheriff: How is the Angela Hayes case going? Dixon: How is the "It's Your Ass" case going on? Black Sheriff: How about giving me your gun and police badge? Dixon: Huh? Black Sheriff: Give me your gun and police badge. The black sheriff pushed Dixon's feet off the table and reached out for a gun and police badge. Dixon realized the seriousness of the problem, got up and took out the gun to the black sheriff. He found that his police badge was not on his body, so he had to take out all the things in his trouser pockets and looked through the drawers, but he still couldn't find it. Dixon: I can't find my police badge. No, really, I might have lost it. Maybe he lost it when he threw that guy out the window. Black Sheriff: Then get out of my police station. The black sheriff entered his office. Dixon put the comic book on, angrily put his gear on the plug Derek's table. Dixon: (smiles bitterly) What is going on? It looks like I have just been fired. Dismissal or suspension, I am not sure which is. Cedric: Fired. Dixon was silent for a while and left the police station. 64. Mildred wears work clothes outside the Japanese shop and organizes goods in front of the window. The reflection on the window shows that a man parked his car at the entrance of the shop, got out of the car and walked towards the shop. 65. Japanese shop The man inside entered the shop and looked around. Mildred: (os) If you can help, just call me. The man looked at various gifts along the shelf: shout, Mildred Hayes, shout. good. Mildred stopped what he was doing: Do you know me? Man: I just saw it on TV and heard it on the radio. Mildred didn't know why. The man picked up a ceramic rabbit: How much is the rabbit that says "Welcome to Missouri"? Mildred: Seven dollars, with the price on it. The man threw it in Mildred's direction. The wall next to Mildred Rabbit was smashed to pieces. Man: (Yin laughs) I think it's not worth seven dollars now. Mildred looked at the man grimly: What is your purpose here? Man: What is my purpose here? Maybe I'm a good friend of Willoughby, how about it? Mildred: Are you? The man slowly walked towards Mildred: Maybe, I am your daughter's friend, how about it? Mildred: Are you? Man: Maybe, (sneer) I was the one who fucked her when she died, how about? Mildred: Are you? The man shook his head: No. But I want to do that too. I saw her picture in the newspaper. At this time, the door bell of the store rang. Man: Saved by the bell, huh? Mildred: You still owe seven dollars to my rabbit. The man laughed and left: You will ask me again when I pass by next time, Hameldred? Mildred: I will. The man leaves the shop. Standing in the shop was a woman who had just entered. Mildred walked to the window and watched the man leave. At this time, you can see that the woman is Annie, and she has an envelope in her hand. Mildred: You don't know how happy I am to meet you. Annie: What? Mildred: That person was threatening me just now. Annie: You are not so easily frightened. Mildred sat down: It's not the one that irritates the most anyway. Madam, can I help you? Annie: It was left to you last night before my husband committed suicide. Mildred took the envelope and reacted: I'm sorry, Mrs. Willoughby. Annie: (choked, angry) Really? Are you really sorry? Mildred: Of course... Annie: Of course this is the perfect ending for you, isn't it? That is the evidence. Your three billboards have been successful, right? A dead policeman is worth it now. Mildred: Are you blaming me for his death? Annie: No, I didn't blame you for his death. I came here to send you a letter. Now my two little daughters are still in the car, I better not I want to stay here and chat with you. Mildred looked out the window-subjective perspective: Two little girls were sitting in the back seat of a car, they were looking at the shop. Annie: I don't even know what we should do today. On the day the husband committed suicide, I really didn't know what to do. I really don't know what to do. Annie leaves. Mildred sat there blankly, weighing the envelope in his hand. Outside the window, Annie drove away. 66. Willoughby's letter Mildred sat on the porch and read the letter. Willoughby: (os) Dear Mildred, from the dead Willoughby. First of all, I want to apologize for not catching the murderer who killed your daughter until I died... The train passed by the shop. Willoughby (os): This is a huge pain for me. It hurts me very much when you think I and Ben don’t care about it. Because I really care. There will be some cases, you will go to detect it non-stop, and then five years have passed... The billboard in the twilight, and the pile of stains. Willoughby: (os) People heard someone brag about that in a bar or prison, and the whole case was solved so stupidly. I hope that Angela's case will be the same, I really hope so... Flowers under the billboard. Willoughby: (os) Second point, Mildred, I must admit that billboards are really a fucking good idea.

    It's so exciting, I really can't think of any other films to challenge this year. The plot music and rhythm photography are all close to full marks. What's more valuable is that apart from the super-standard performance of the heroine Francis, the performances of all the remaining actors are so wonderful that they can award the best group play. A series of tragedies caused by uncompromising and incomprehension, but there are more reasonable humanity and hostile romantic poetry in the tragedy. From the first act, passing by the sign and biting her nails, the best heroine is decided by default.

  • [first lines]

    Mildred Hayes: [walking into his office] You Red Welby?

    Red Welby: Yes, ma'am. How may I help you?

    Mildred Hayes: I heard there's three billboards out on Drinkwater Road. You're in charge of renting them out, that right?

    Red Welby: I didn't know we had any billboards out on Drinkwater. Where is Drinkwater Road?

    Mildred Hayes: It's a road out past the Sizemore turn-off. Nobody uses it since the freeway got put in.

    Red Welby: You are right. Got three billboards out there. Nobody's put nothing up out there since 1986. That was 'Huggies'.

    Mildred Hayes: How much to rent out all three of 'em the year?

    Red Welby: A year? You wanna pay for three billboards on a road no-one goes down unless they got lost or they're retards, for a year?

    Mildred Hayes: Quick, ain't ya, Welby?

    Red Welby: Well, since what I say goes these days down at the Ebbing Advertising Desk, I'm gonna strike you a real good deal on those billboards. Now, what was it you said your name was, Mrs?

    Mildred Hayes: What's the law on what you can and cannot say on a billboard? I assume it's ya can't say nothing defamatory, and ya can't say, 'Fuck' 'Piss' or 'Cunt'. That right?

    Red Welby: Uh... Or... anus.

    Mildred Hayes: Well, I think I'll be alright then. Here's 5,000 for the first month.

  • Willoughby: If you got rid of every cop with vaguely racist leanings, then you'd have three cops left, and all o' them are gonna hate the fags, so what are ya gonna do, y'know?
