In the fictional town of Ebbing, Missouri, Mildred Hayes is grieving over the rape and murder of her teenage daughter, Angela, seven months earlier. Angry over the lack of progress in the investigation, Mildred rents three abandoned billboards near her home and posts on them: “Raped While Dying“, “And Still No Arrests?“, and “How Come, Chief Willoughby?” The billboards upset many townspeople, including Chief Bill Willoughby and the racist, violent, alcoholic Officer Jason Dixon. The open secret that Bill suffers from terminal pancreatic cancer adds to everyone’s disapproval. Despite incurring harassment and threats, and the objections of her son Robbie, Mildred remains determined for the billboards to remain.Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri 2017 Movie Download.
While Bill is sympathetic to Mildred’s frustration, he finds the billboards an unfair attack on his character. Angered by her lack of respect for the chief’s authority, Dixon threatens businessman Red Welby, who rented Mildred the billboards, and he arrests her friend and coworker, Denise, on trivial charges for drug possession. Mildred is visited by her abusive ex-husband Charlie, who reveals that, shortly before Angela’s murder, he had turned down her request to come and live with him.
Bill takes Mildred in for questioning after she drills a hole in her dentist’s thumb when he threatens her. During the interview, Bill accidentally coughs up blood into Mildred’s face. Mildred gets help and Bill is hospitalized, but he leaves the hospital against medical advice and spends an idyllic day with his wife Anne and their two daughters. He then takes his own life in the barn with a handgun to spare his family the pain of watching him die slowly from cancer. He leaves suicide notes for several people, including one for Mildred, in which he explains that she was not a factor in his suicide and that he secretly paid to keep the billboards up for another month, amused at the guilt this will bring her and hoping that they will keep attention on the murder.
