- Harlan's creepy body is found in the creepy parking lot, and a state police investigator named Hal Slocumb (Harvey Keitel) interviews Lena, the coy server who waited on Thelma and Louise.
- Thelma and Louise are connected to the murder, since many folks saw Thelma and Harlan stumbling around in the bar together.
- Thanks to the server, we get a sense that Harlan's reputation preceded him. To put it bluntly, Lena's stoked he's dead.
- Slocumb, being the sensitive guy that he is, seems to have a hunch about why Harlan was shot, and he sets out to find Thelma and Louise.
