Infuriated with the police over the lack of progress in the investigation, she rents three abandoned billboards outside her hometown, which in sequence read : `` Raped while dying '', `` And still no arrests '', and `` How come, Chief Willoughby ? ''. The townspeople, especially the police officers, are upset over the billboards ' content, including Sheriff Bill Willoughby ( Woody Harrelson ) and officer Jason Dixon ( Sam Rockwell ). Many people also find the signs in bad taste considering that Willoughby suffers from terminal pancreatic cancer. Soon after the billboards are put up, Mildred and her depressed son Robbie ( Lucas Hedges ) are harassed and threatened, but Mildred stays firm, much to Robbie 's chagrin. While Willoughby is sympathetic to Mildred 's plight, he finds the billboards an unfair attack on his character. Dixon, on the other hand, is simply vexed by Mildred 's sheer lack of respect for his authority. He goes to great lengths to get Mildred to back down, including threatening Red ( Caleb Landry Jones ), the owner of the advertising agency who rented the billboards to her, as well as arresting her friend and co-worker Denise ( Amanda Warren ) on a trumped - up charge for possession of marijuana and then refusing her bail. Mildred also is visited by her abusive ex-husband Charlie ( John Hawkes ), who is fearful for what the billboards will do to her family, also telling her about how their daughter asked to move in with him the week before her murder. After a dentist presses charges against Mildred after she assaults him with his drill, Willoughby brings her in for questioning, and she denies hurting him. Willoughby then begins coughing up blood, forcing him to go to the hospital. While there, he realizes that he will die soon, and after he is discharged, he spends an eventful day with his wife Anne ( Abbie Cornish ) and two daughters before committing suicide. He leaves suicide notes for several people in Ebbing, including one to Mildred in which he explains that he secretly paid to keep the billboards up for another month in order to keep some attention on the case and to amuse himself by keeping the drama around them going after his passing. The local news reports Willoughby 's death, falsely implying that Mildred 's billboards were part of what drove him to taking his life. Mildred and her son are subsequently harassed further, receiving an especially violent threat from a man that enters into her store. Upon learning of Willoughby 's death, Dixon breaks into the ad agency 's office and assaults both Red and his assistant, going as far as throwing the former out of the second - story window. This act is seen by Willoughby 's replacement Abercrombie ( Clarke Peters ), who fires Dixon after he further questions his authority when pressed about the progress on Angela 's case. Later that night, Mildred and Robbie are driving home when they see all three billboards on fire. They manage to keep them from burning down, but the messages on them are destroyed. Believing Dixon to be the arsonist, Mildred sneaks into the ad agency the next night and tosses Molotov cocktails from the broken window at the police station across the street. Unbeknownst to her, Dixon was inside reading a letter written to him by Willoughby before he died acknowledging Dixon 's desire to become a detective and advising him to end his bigoted ways so that he could become a better lawman. Dixon escapes the blaze ( also managing to salvage Angela 's case files ), but is hospitalized with burns all over his body. A witness, a car - dealer named James ( Peter Dinklage ), provides an alibi for Mildred. Thankful, she takes him up on an offer to go to dinner with him. After Dixon 's recovery, he drinks at a bar, overhearing the man who earlier threatened Mildred discussing a rape that one of them had committed, the details of which Dixon notes are similar to Angela 's murder. After getting the man 's license plate number, he then starts a fight with the suspected rapist by scratching off some of his skin, getting the DNA necessary to run a test to see if it matches Angela 's killer. Meanwhile, while Mildred and James are at dinner, Charlie enters the same restaurant with his ditzy 19 - year old girlfriend Penelope ( Samara Weaving ), where he implies he set fire to the billboards in a drunken rage. Though enraged, she simply tells Charlie to treat Penelope well. Dixon then contacts Mildred, letting her know that he may have found Angela 's killer. They are both soon disheartened after Dixon learns from Abercrombie that the suspect 's DNA and the DNA from the crime scene do not match, also supported by the suspect 's being on active duty in the Middle East when Angela 's rape and murder took place. Aware that a rapist ( of someone other than Angela ) is still on the loose, Mildred and Dixon drive to Idaho where the man lives. On the way, Mildred confesses that she was the one who caused the police station fire to which Dixon replies that he already suspected as much and forgives her. They contemplate on whether or not they should kill the rapist when they find him and resolve to decide once they arrive.
