Lone Star (1996) Movie Script

00:00:46,960 -- 00:00:48,632
We got cenizo...
2
00:00:48,840 -- 00:00:50,876
...that's purple sage...
3
00:00:52,200 -- 00:00:54,270
...agave, nopal....
4
00:00:56,520 -- 00:00:57,953
What's that stuff?
5
00:00:58,920 -- 00:01:01,275
That's whatchamacallit.
6
00:01:04,080 -- 00:01:05,752
That's horse crippler.
7
00:01:07,840 -- 00:01:10,070
This place is a gold mine.
8
00:01:10,640 -- 00:01:11,993
Lead mine.
9
00:01:12,360 -- 00:01:13,429
What?
10
00:01:13,520 -- 00:01:15,351
I said it's a lead mine.
11
00:01:15,520 -- 00:01:17,476
-Right.
-Why am I talking to you?
12
00:01:17,640 -- 00:01:19,437
You got that thing on your head.
13
00:01:19,520 -- 00:01:21,670
You find lots of cactus and shit?
14
00:01:21,760 -- 00:01:23,876
Not just cactus. There's acacias...
15
00:01:24,040 -- 00:01:26,873
-...the yuccas....
-Looks like a lot of cactus to me.
16
00:01:27,600 -- 00:01:32,151
Man knows 150 varieties of beer,
can't tell a poinsettia from a prickly pear.
17
00:01:33,320 -- 00:01:34,275
Cliff!
18
00:01:34,440 -- 00:01:37,637
You live in a place,
you should learn about it.
19
00:01:37,960 -- 00:01:40,349
-Explore.
-You've got to look at this.
20
00:01:42,120 -- 00:01:43,314
Don't tell me.
21
00:01:43,400 -- 00:01:45,277
Spanish treasure, right?
22
00:01:45,360 -- 00:01:46,395
Pieces of eight...
23
00:01:46,480 -- 00:01:48,630
...from the Coronado Expedition.
24
00:01:55,000 -- 00:01:56,149
Jesus!
25
00:02:12,040 -- 00:02:14,110
Was Coronado in the Masons?
26
00:03:19,200 -- 00:03:22,510
The forensics fella's coming down
from San Marcos.
27
00:03:23,400 -- 00:03:26,915
There's no way to know how old
the body is without lab work.
28
00:03:27,120 -- 00:03:28,473
That ring?
29
00:03:28,720 -- 00:03:31,439
Mason's been around a long while.
30
00:03:33,000 -- 00:03:34,558
He a treasure hunter?
31
00:03:35,320 -- 00:03:36,799
Old bullets.
32
00:03:37,240 -- 00:03:38,832
Makes art out of them.
33
00:03:41,920 -- 00:03:44,832
Sheriff says we shouldn't touch anything.
34
00:03:45,120 -- 00:03:47,031
He can't hear with that rig on.
35
00:03:47,200 -- 00:03:48,713
Mikey!
36
00:03:49,440 -- 00:03:50,998
Hey, what have we got here?
37
00:03:56,360 -- 00:03:58,954
We're supposed to leave everything
where we found it.
38
00:03:59,200 -- 00:04:00,952
They're real particular about that.
39
00:04:03,280 -- 00:04:04,872
The scene of the crime.
40
00:04:07,360 -- 00:04:09,999
No telling yet if there's been a crime...
41
00:04:12,440 -- 00:04:16,558
...but this country's seen a good number
of disagreements over the years.
42
00:04:26,520 -- 00:04:28,909
He went to school on the post
when we were in Korea.
43
00:04:29,000 -- 00:04:31,798
It's all kids in the same boat, army brats--
44
00:04:32,600 -- 00:04:34,591
His record shows he's a good student.
45
00:04:34,680 -- 00:04:39,310
I'm more worried about the social thing.
Are there, like, gangs or guns--
46
00:04:39,480 -- 00:04:42,711
We haven't had any serious violence,
if that's what you mean.
47
00:04:42,800 -- 00:04:46,031
But we've got a pretty lively mix.
Mexican kids...
48
00:04:46,120 -- 00:04:47,792
...anglo kids, black kids.
49
00:04:48,080 -- 00:04:50,389
-And the blacks are what?
-The smallest group.
50
00:04:50,480 -- 00:04:51,708
Except for a couple...
51
00:04:51,800 -- 00:04:53,074
...of Kickapoo kids.
52
00:04:53,160 -- 00:04:55,958
Look, you're obviously a concerned parent.
53
00:04:56,440 -- 00:04:59,398
Chet has no history of getting into trouble.
54
00:04:59,600 -- 00:05:00,589
Pilar....
55
00:05:01,240 -- 00:05:02,309
Is Amado okay?
56
00:05:02,960 -- 00:05:04,234
He's not here?
57
00:05:04,320 -- 00:05:05,196
Is he sick?
58
00:05:06,520 -- 00:05:08,590
He's going to wish he was dead.
59
00:05:29,240 -- 00:05:31,310
Somebody hand me a CD player.
60
00:05:34,080 -- 00:05:37,072
They've come a long way
since those old eight-tracks, ain't they?
61
00:05:37,160 -- 00:05:38,354
Something wrong?
62
00:05:38,440 -- 00:05:41,557
Stolen property. I'm hauling
the bunch of you to jail.
63
00:05:41,880 -- 00:05:44,713
If anything else is wrong,
tell me on the way to the station.
64
00:05:47,800 -- 00:05:50,758
Cleaning his toenails with a pocketknife.
65
00:05:50,840 -- 00:05:53,877
He was the most hygienic
of all the McHenry's.
66
00:05:55,120 -- 00:05:58,192
''Fishbait,'' Buddy says,
in that quiet way of his...
67
00:05:58,480 -- 00:06:02,155
...''what do you know about the tires
that went missing from Merkel's?''
68
00:06:02,320 -- 00:06:04,038
Fishbait thinks for a minute...
69
00:06:04,120 -- 00:06:06,998
...then lifts up a loose board
from the porch floor...
70
00:06:07,280 -- 00:06:09,191
...and calls down into it.
71
00:06:09,720 -- 00:06:12,678
''Come on out, Hooter, they caught us!''
72
00:06:14,600 -- 00:06:16,636
Buddy Deeds, he had a way.
73
00:06:16,720 -- 00:06:19,757
He'd known who it was
from the tire tracks in the dirt...
74
00:06:19,840 -- 00:06:22,832
...leading from the back of the garage
to where they loaded up.
75
00:06:22,920 -- 00:06:24,273
''Old Fishbait,'' he said...
76
00:06:24,360 -- 00:06:27,955
...''never lifted a thing,
if there was a way he could roll it.''
77
00:06:29,920 -- 00:06:31,672
Never be another like him.
78
00:06:31,760 -- 00:06:34,115
You know that boy of his can't cut it.
79
00:06:34,360 -- 00:06:36,351
He's all hat and no cattle.
80
00:06:37,160 -- 00:06:38,195
Hey, fellas.
81
00:06:42,240 -- 00:06:44,196
We was telling a few on your old man.
82
00:06:44,280 -- 00:06:46,510
He was a unique individual.
83
00:06:46,680 -- 00:06:48,113
He was that.
84
00:06:48,840 -- 00:06:50,159
Big day coming up.
85
00:06:50,280 -- 00:06:53,397
I wish we'd have thought of it
while he was still living.
86
00:06:53,640 -- 00:06:55,039
Went so unexpected.
87
00:06:55,320 -- 00:06:57,151
Better late than never.
88
00:06:57,400 -- 00:07:00,756
Korean War hero,
sheriff for nearly 30 years....
89
00:07:01,240 -- 00:07:03,708
The Buddy Deeds Memorial Courthouse.
90
00:07:03,800 -- 00:07:06,030
I heard there was a bit of a fuss.
91
00:07:07,240 -- 00:07:09,151
Well, the usual troublemakers.
92
00:07:09,400 -- 00:07:12,756
Danny Padilla from the iSentinel/i.
That crowd.
93
00:07:12,920 -- 00:07:16,390
We call everything else in the country
after Martin Luther King.
94
00:07:16,520 -- 00:07:19,671
We can't have one measly courthouse?
95
00:07:19,760 -- 00:07:21,273
King wasn't Mexican, Fenton.
96
00:07:21,360 -- 00:07:24,193
Bad enough that all the street names
are in Spanish.
97
00:07:24,280 -- 00:07:25,998
They were here first.
98
00:07:26,120 -- 00:07:30,352
Then let's call it after Big Chief
Shit-In-The-Bucket. That Tonkawa had...
99
00:07:30,440 -- 00:07:31,759
...the Mexes beat by centuries.
100
00:07:31,840 -- 00:07:34,638
Nineteen out of 20 people here
are Mexican.
101
00:07:35,560 -- 00:07:38,950
There was a faction pulling
for that boy killed in the Gulf War--
102
00:07:39,240 -- 00:07:40,992
Yeah. Santiago.
103
00:07:41,160 -- 00:07:43,355
Mexicans that know remember what...
104
00:07:43,440 -- 00:07:44,998
...Buddy was for their people.
105
00:07:45,080 -- 00:07:47,196
Hell, it was Mercedes over there
who swung...
106
00:07:47,280 -- 00:07:48,793
...the deciding vote for him.
107
00:07:49,800 -- 00:07:51,518
She made it an even 3-3.
108
00:07:51,720 -- 00:07:54,109
As mayor, I get to cast the tiebreaker.
109
00:07:54,520 -- 00:07:58,832
The old-timers won't have a problem.
They know how Buddy come to be sheriff.
110
00:07:59,240 -- 00:08:00,832
Tell that story, Hollis.
111
00:08:00,920 -- 00:08:02,990
Everybody heard it a million times.
112
00:08:03,240 -- 00:08:04,673
I'd like to hear it.
113
00:08:05,560 -- 00:08:06,709
Your version of it.
114
00:08:07,040 -- 00:08:08,553
Yeah, come on, Hollis.
115
00:08:11,800 -- 00:08:13,028
Well, the two of us...
116
00:08:13,400 -- 00:08:15,516
...were the only deputies back then.
117
00:08:16,120 -- 00:08:18,270
Me and Buddy, in what, '58?
118
00:08:18,560 -- 00:08:20,278
'57, I think.
119
00:08:20,440 -- 00:08:23,876
The sheriff at the time
was big Charlie Wade.
120
00:08:25,000 -- 00:08:25,955
Charlie...
121
00:08:26,040 -- 00:08:30,113
...was one of your old-fashioned
bribe-or-bullets kind of sheriffs.
122
00:08:30,520 -- 00:08:34,115
He took a healthy bite out of whatever
moved through this country.
123
00:08:34,280 -- 00:08:36,191
It was in here one night...
124
00:08:36,520 -- 00:08:38,875
...back when Jimmy Herrera run the place.
125
00:08:39,240 -- 00:08:41,879
iStarted over a basket of tortillas./i
126
00:08:49,120 -- 00:08:52,715
This beaner fare doesn't agree with me
but the price sure is right.
127
00:08:54,760 -- 00:08:58,435
Jimmy got a kitchen full of wetbacks,
most of them relatives.
128
00:08:58,760 -- 00:09:00,830
Those people breed like chickens.
129
00:09:03,560 -- 00:09:04,549
So?
130
00:09:05,320 -- 00:09:09,233
I roust some imuchacho/i on the street
with no papers, all he's got to say is:
131
00:09:09,320 -- 00:09:11,231
iI work for Jimmy Herrera./i
132
00:09:12,880 -- 00:09:14,154
Sort of a...
133
00:09:14,320 -- 00:09:18,632
...I-scratch-his-back-he-washes-mine
arrangement, if you know what I mean.
134
00:09:20,520 -- 00:09:24,638
This'll be one of your pickups.
First of the month, like the rent.
135
00:09:25,080 -- 00:09:26,513
Get the car, Hollis.
136
00:09:33,560 -- 00:09:35,152
I'm not doing it.
137
00:09:40,600 -- 00:09:41,953
Come again?
138
00:09:42,840 -- 00:09:44,159
It's your deal.
139
00:09:45,240 -- 00:09:47,834
There's going to be some left over for you.
140
00:09:47,920 -- 00:09:49,353
I take care of my boys.
141
00:09:49,760 -- 00:09:51,671
That's not the point, Charlie.
142
00:09:52,120 -- 00:09:54,190
You feeling bad about Jimmy?
143
00:09:54,520 -- 00:09:59,230
Ask him how big a imordida/i they took
when he run a place on the other side.
144
00:09:59,640 -- 00:10:01,631
Those old boys from Ciudad Len--
145
00:10:01,880 -- 00:10:03,393
I'm not picking it up.
146
00:10:05,320 -- 00:10:08,756
You do whatever I say you do
or else you put it on the trail, son.
147
00:10:15,680 -- 00:10:17,318
How about this, Charlie?
148
00:10:19,000 -- 00:10:22,310
How about you lay that shield
on this table and vanish...
149
00:10:23,360 -- 00:10:25,396
...before you end up dead...
150
00:10:25,640 -- 00:10:26,834
...or in jail?
151
00:10:31,040 -- 00:10:32,996
You're not making sense, Buddy.
152
00:10:33,080 -- 00:10:36,390
Stick around and I'm bringing up charges
on the county road project.
153
00:10:36,480 -- 00:10:39,153
Two-thirds of that money went straight
into your pocket.
154
00:10:42,520 -- 00:10:45,239
You're being mighty careless
with your mouth, son.
155
00:10:51,360 -- 00:10:54,238
You ever shoot a man
who's looking you in the eye?
156
00:11:04,560 -- 00:11:06,835
It's a whole different story, isn't it?
157
00:11:07,600 -- 00:11:09,079
You're fired.
158
00:11:09,720 -- 00:11:12,632
Not a soul in this county isn't sick to death
of your bullshit.
159
00:11:14,560 -- 00:11:17,313
Make yourself scarce and you'll make a lot
of people happy.
160
00:11:17,400 -- 00:11:18,958
-You little piss ant.
-Now...
161
00:11:19,040 -- 00:11:20,029
...or later.
162
00:11:21,560 -- 00:11:23,710
You won't have any trouble finding me.
163
00:11:27,600 -- 00:11:29,511
You're a dead man.
164
00:11:34,800 -- 00:11:37,678
Get the goddamn car.
We're going to Roderick's.
165
00:11:51,640 -- 00:11:52,755
iBoy.../i
166
00:11:53,120 -- 00:11:55,031
i...another beer, please./i
167
00:11:59,040 -- 00:12:01,110
Yeah, that Buddy was a cool breeze.
168
00:12:02,120 -- 00:12:05,635
Wade was known to put quite a few people
in the ground...
169
00:12:05,840 -- 00:12:08,752
...and your daddy gets eyeball-to-eyeball
with him.
170
00:12:09,720 -- 00:12:12,473
We made our pickup at Roderick's place.
171
00:12:12,800 -- 00:12:15,519
Nobody's seen hide nor hair of him since.
172
00:12:16,000 -- 00:12:20,391
He went missing the next day along
with $10,000 in county funds from the safe.
173
00:12:22,240 -- 00:12:23,958
Never heard from him again.
174
00:12:24,040 -- 00:12:26,952
Buddy Deeds said a thing,
he damn well backed it up.
175
00:12:27,960 -- 00:12:29,712
Never be another like him.
176
00:12:31,160 -- 00:12:35,119
So, I suppose then he arrested
all of Jimmy Herrera's people and...
177
00:12:35,200 -- 00:12:37,111
...sent them back to the other side?
178
00:12:39,120 -- 00:12:41,111
He came to an accommodation.
179
00:12:42,240 -- 00:12:46,153
Money doesn't always have to change
hands to keep the wheels turning.
180
00:12:47,360 -- 00:12:49,749
I know you had problems with your father.
181
00:12:50,640 -- 00:12:53,234
-And he and Muriel--
-Your mother was a saint.
182
00:12:54,960 -- 00:12:57,349
But Buddy Deeds was my salvation.
183
00:12:59,840 -- 00:13:01,796
Won't be another like him.
184
00:13:03,440 -- 00:13:04,953
It is an honor for me...
185
00:13:05,040 -- 00:13:06,792
...to assume command of this unit.
186
00:13:06,880 -- 00:13:09,189
I look forward to working with all of you.
187
00:13:09,280 -- 00:13:11,794
I'm sure you're all aware
of the Army's decision...
188
00:13:11,880 -- 00:13:13,518
...to shut this post down.
189
00:13:14,160 -- 00:13:16,958
That doesn't mean, however,
that we're here to mark time...
190
00:13:17,040 -- 00:13:18,678
...until we're reassigned.
191
00:13:19,480 -- 00:13:21,357
You may have heard rumors...
192
00:13:21,680 -- 00:13:23,875
...that I run a very tight operation.
193
00:13:24,560 -- 00:13:25,993
These rumors...
194
00:13:26,360 -- 00:13:27,918
...are not exaggerated.
195
00:15:24,720 -- 00:15:26,870
Somebody call a doctor!
196
00:15:33,320 -- 00:15:35,151
You weren't in here tonight, were you?
197
00:15:35,240 -- 00:15:36,355
No, no, sir.
198
00:15:36,560 -- 00:15:37,913
Go out the back way.
199
00:15:38,000 -- 00:15:40,150
Somebody call a doctor!
200
00:15:44,120 -- 00:15:45,712
Tearing everything down.
201
00:15:45,800 -- 00:15:50,237
Our heritage, the memory of the people
who fought and died for this land.
202
00:15:50,320 -- 00:15:52,675
We fought and died for this land too.
203
00:15:52,880 -- 00:15:55,110
We fought the U.S. Army,
the Texas Rangers--
204
00:15:55,200 -- 00:15:56,679
Yeah, and you lost.
205
00:15:57,320 -- 00:15:59,436
Winners get the bragging rights.
206
00:15:59,680 -- 00:16:04,310
People. It'd be best if we don't view this
in terms of winners and losers.
207
00:16:04,400 -- 00:16:07,119
The way she teaches,
she's got everything backward.
208
00:16:07,200 -- 00:16:09,839
I was on the textbook committee.
Her version--
209
00:16:10,240 -- 00:16:11,389
We think of the textbook...
210
00:16:11,480 -- 00:16:13,516
...as a guide, not as an absolute.
211
00:16:13,640 -- 00:16:16,234
It is not what we set as the standard.
212
00:16:17,760 -- 00:16:20,399
Now, you people can believe
whatever you want...
213
00:16:20,480 -- 00:16:22,152
...but when it comes to teaching--
214
00:16:22,240 -- 00:16:26,199
They're our children too. As the majority
in this community, we have the right.
215
00:16:26,280 -- 00:16:31,070
The men who founded this state
have the right to have their story told.
216
00:16:31,280 -- 00:16:33,669
The men who founded this state
broke from Mexico.
217
00:16:33,760 -- 00:16:37,389
They needed slavery to be legal
to make a fortune in the cotton business.
218
00:16:37,480 -- 00:16:39,994
I think that's a bit of an oversimplification.
219
00:16:40,080 -- 00:16:43,516
-You reporting or running this meeting?
-Adding some historical perspective.
220
00:16:43,600 -- 00:16:45,795
You call it history, I call it propaganda.
221
00:16:45,880 -- 00:16:49,634
I'm sure they've got their own account
of the Alamo on the other side...
222
00:16:49,920 -- 00:16:52,718
...but our schools shouldn't teach it
that way.
223
00:16:52,880 -- 00:16:53,915
Excuse me.
224
00:16:54,400 -- 00:16:59,190
I've only been trying to get across part
of the complexity of our situation here.
225
00:16:59,920 -- 00:17:04,311
Cultures coming together
in both negative and positive ways.
226
00:17:04,680 -- 00:17:07,592
If you mean food and music and all,
I have no problem.
227
00:17:08,480 -- 00:17:09,959
But when you start changing...
228
00:17:10,040 -- 00:17:11,314
...who did what to who--
229
00:17:11,400 -- 00:17:14,676
We're just trying to present
a more complete picture.
230
00:17:15,040 -- 00:17:16,712
That's what's got to stop!
231
00:17:16,880 -- 00:17:21,112
There's enough ignorance in the world
without us encouraging it in school.
232
00:17:21,680 -- 00:17:24,240
Now, who are you calling ignorant?
233
00:17:24,440 -- 00:17:27,079
I hope the sucker dies.
Mess with me, that's what you get.
234
00:17:27,160 -- 00:17:29,116
Hospital says the kid is in bad shape.
235
00:17:29,200 -- 00:17:30,474
The shooter local?
236
00:17:30,560 -- 00:17:33,438
Houston. I think he knew the girl
from before.
237
00:17:33,760 -- 00:17:36,957
We'll take a statement from the GI's
before they go back to post.
238
00:17:37,040 -- 00:17:39,474
You can get the story from Otis.
239
00:17:40,040 -- 00:17:42,600
Any poop on the John Doe
we found today?
240
00:17:42,880 -- 00:17:46,873
No, nothing much.
Rangers put Ben Wetzel on it.
241
00:17:47,320 -- 00:17:48,753
I'll catch you later.
242
00:17:59,960 -- 00:18:02,349
He's only 15. He's about 5 foot 5--
243
00:18:02,520 -- 00:18:03,475
Pilar.
244
00:18:06,160 -- 00:18:07,434
Something wrong?
245
00:18:07,680 -- 00:18:09,113
They've got my son.
246
00:18:09,280 -- 00:18:10,156
Here?
247
00:18:10,320 -- 00:18:15,030
Somebody called about a house that was
broken into. They say they don't have--
248
00:18:15,840 -- 00:18:18,035
All right, I know what he looks like.
249
00:18:18,160 -- 00:18:19,798
I'll see what's going on.
250
00:18:22,800 -- 00:18:23,949
I was....
251
00:18:26,280 -- 00:18:28,919
I was real sorry about Nando.
252
00:18:31,800 -- 00:18:33,358
He was a good fella.
253
00:18:37,400 -- 00:18:38,719
We haven't talked--
254
00:18:38,800 -- 00:18:40,916
We haven't talked since high school.
255
00:18:44,240 -- 00:18:45,878
I'll go check on your boy.
256
00:18:49,200 -- 00:18:52,875
Ritchie didn't say nothing,
'cause he didn't want to get in it.
257
00:18:53,200 -- 00:18:57,239
Then, next thing I know
there's shots and Ritchie's down.
258
00:18:59,240 -- 00:19:01,196
You got some boys you run in earlier?
259
00:19:03,800 -- 00:19:06,598
They tell me you're good at fixing things.
260
00:19:12,240 -- 00:19:14,629
Your father was a hell of a mechanic.
261
00:19:19,160 -- 00:19:21,628
You know, if you figure minimum wage...
262
00:19:21,720 -- 00:19:24,280
...on the time most thieves spend in jail...
263
00:19:24,480 -- 00:19:27,358
...they could have bought
most everything they stole.
264
00:19:27,840 -- 00:19:31,116
They asked me to hook it up for them.
I didn't steal anything.
265
00:19:31,680 -- 00:19:33,716
Well, I didn't say you did.
266
00:19:36,000 -- 00:19:38,070
My name's Sam, by the way.
267
00:19:40,840 -- 00:19:42,751
-He's all yours.
-Are you okay?
268
00:19:42,920 -- 00:19:44,831
What's the big deal?
269
00:19:44,920 -- 00:19:46,717
You'll find out when I get you home.
270
00:19:47,280 -- 00:19:48,395
Thanks, Sam.
271
00:19:48,720 -- 00:19:50,233
It's no problem.
272
00:19:52,640 -- 00:19:54,153
It was good seeing you again.
273
00:20:20,280 -- 00:20:23,511
Big O's is the only place
where African American soldiers...
274
00:20:23,600 -- 00:20:25,352
...feel comfortable, sir.
275
00:20:25,520 -- 00:20:28,751
-Have we had trouble there before?
-Fistfight now and then.
276
00:20:28,840 -- 00:20:31,479
-This town isn't much.
-They didn't come for a vacation.
277
00:20:31,560 -- 00:20:35,712
For many, it's their first time away
from home, dealing with new people....
278
00:20:36,040 -- 00:20:38,235
-I remember my first hitch--
-Substance abuse?
279
00:20:38,320 -- 00:20:41,073
Yes, sir, but I went through the program.
I haven't drunk--
280
00:20:41,160 -- 00:20:43,799
I meant on the post.
How are you dealing with it?
281
00:20:43,880 -- 00:20:46,474
We throw a urine test at them
once a month.
282
00:20:46,800 -- 00:20:48,199
Random numbers...
283
00:20:48,360 -- 00:20:50,191
...maybe 100 people at a time.
284
00:20:50,280 -- 00:20:53,192
-Let's make it once a week for a while.
-Yes, sir.
285
00:20:53,360 -- 00:20:57,194
I sprint the last quarter mile.
You don't have to keep up.
286
00:20:57,680 -- 00:20:58,954
Appreciate it, sir.
287
00:21:04,400 -- 00:21:06,675
Guy cracks walnuts with his asshole.
288
00:21:07,080 -- 00:21:09,310
You get the feeling
he doesn't want to be here?
289
00:22:05,160 -- 00:22:06,115
Sam the Man.
290
00:22:06,560 -- 00:22:09,154
Hey, Ben. Thanks for coming down.
291
00:22:11,320 -- 00:22:12,719
So, how's business?
292
00:22:13,360 -- 00:22:15,078
Business is booming.
293
00:22:15,640 -- 00:22:17,870
Got your drugs, got your illegals.
294
00:22:18,280 -- 00:22:22,273
Had a shooting the other night
at O's place. Soldier got ventilated.
295
00:22:22,760 -- 00:22:25,194
I hear they're closing Fort McKenzie.
296
00:22:25,280 -- 00:22:27,430
It'll pull a lot of jobs out of this county.
297
00:22:27,520 -- 00:22:31,718
We'll have folks swimming over to Mexico
to work in the sweat shops.
298
00:22:33,040 -- 00:22:34,632
Is that the word on our boy?
299
00:22:35,240 -- 00:22:36,514
This is Skinny.
300
00:22:37,240 -- 00:22:38,036
Skinny?
301
00:22:39,160 -- 00:22:41,799
When we find a body, it's Skinny or Stinky.
302
00:22:41,960 -- 00:22:44,269
Depends on how much meat's left
on the bones.
303
00:22:44,640 -- 00:22:46,198
That's a nice job.
304
00:22:47,240 -- 00:22:48,878
''A male Caucasian...
305
00:22:49,640 -- 00:22:51,358
''...40 to 60 years old...
306
00:22:51,440 -- 00:22:52,998
''...5 foot 9...
307
00:22:53,160 -- 00:22:54,559
''...5 foot 1 1.
308
00:22:55,240 -- 00:22:56,514
''Chewed tobacco.''
309
00:22:56,600 -- 00:22:59,114
Then we'll get the dental records
and personal effects.
310
00:22:59,200 -- 00:23:00,758
It's Charlie Wade.
311
00:23:01,880 -- 00:23:02,949
That badge....
312
00:23:03,040 -- 00:23:05,349
Didn't come out of a cereal box.
313
00:23:15,360 -- 00:23:18,557
You know the popular version
of how he left town.
314
00:23:18,960 -- 00:23:21,315
Everybody on the border knows that story.
315
00:23:21,680 -- 00:23:23,272
You got a cause of death?
316
00:23:23,360 -- 00:23:24,554
Skull was intact.
317
00:23:24,640 -- 00:23:26,995
No signs of trauma on what we found.
318
00:23:27,280 -- 00:23:28,872
Not much to go on.
319
00:23:29,720 -- 00:23:33,633
So, he could have gone out to the post,
just hopped the fence...
320
00:23:34,120 -- 00:23:36,236
...dug into the dirt on the rifle range...
321
00:23:36,320 -- 00:23:38,072
...and had a heart attack.
322
00:23:42,120 -- 00:23:45,271
You remember what old Buddy carried
for a side arm?
323
00:23:46,400 -- 00:23:47,719
Colt Peacemaker.
324
00:23:47,800 -- 00:23:48,869
.45.
325
00:23:48,960 -- 00:23:50,109
He swore by it.
326
00:23:52,920 -- 00:23:53,909
What?
327
00:23:54,960 -- 00:23:56,393
I was just wondering.
328
00:23:59,280 -- 00:24:01,191
Is Buddy on your short list?
329
00:24:01,400 -- 00:24:04,995
If it were some poor imajadero/i
who swam across, got lost in the brush...
330
00:24:05,080 -- 00:24:08,231
...and starved out there
it wouldn't go much further, but...
331
00:24:08,520 -- 00:24:11,034
...this is a once prominent citizen
who disappeared.
332
00:24:11,400 -- 00:24:14,551
You've got to investigate.
There's no question about it.
333
00:24:15,440 -- 00:24:19,433
I'll keep names out of it until we get
some answers or hit a dead end.
334
00:24:20,280 -- 00:24:24,671
You know how the press is when they get
ahold of a murder story, even 40 years old.
335
00:24:26,360 -- 00:24:28,920
Yeah, yeah. They can do a number on you.
336
00:24:32,920 -- 00:24:34,239
I remember...
337
00:24:34,600 -- 00:24:37,831
...Charlie Wade come
to my father's hardware store once.
338
00:24:37,920 -- 00:24:39,558
I was just a little boy.
339
00:24:40,520 -- 00:24:42,909
I'd heard stories
about how he shot this one...
340
00:24:43,000 -- 00:24:44,877
...how he shot that one.
341
00:24:46,280 -- 00:24:47,952
The man winked at me.
342
00:24:48,680 -- 00:24:50,432
I peed my pants.
343
00:24:51,800 -- 00:24:53,074
Winked at me.
344
00:24:54,760 -- 00:24:58,753
We have the fight against the Spanish,
a bloody conflict for dozens of years...
345
00:24:58,840 -- 00:25:01,991
...till they are finally defeated in 1821...
346
00:25:02,240 -- 00:25:05,232
...and Mexican independence is declared.
347
00:25:05,560 -- 00:25:08,757
Anglo settlers are invited
to colonize the area.
348
00:25:08,920 -- 00:25:12,117
By the time they begin the movement
against Santa Anna...
349
00:25:12,280 -- 00:25:15,477
...they outnumber the Mexicans here
by four to one.
350
00:25:16,000 -- 00:25:19,834
The war between Mexico
and the anglo forces ends...
351
00:25:19,920 -- 00:25:21,672
...in 1836...
352
00:25:22,000 -- 00:25:25,879
...with the formation
of the Texas republic. Texas...
353
00:25:26,440 -- 00:25:28,032
...joins the United States...
354
00:25:28,120 -- 00:25:31,635
...as a state where slavery
is legal in 1845...
355
00:25:33,040 -- 00:25:36,589
...after the so-called Mexican War,
then secedes to join...
356
00:25:36,800 -- 00:25:40,873
...the Confederacy in 1861.
The Confederacy is beaten...
357
00:25:41,200 -- 00:25:44,829
...and the Reformation period here
is marked by range wars...
358
00:25:44,920 -- 00:25:46,990
...and race wars and all this...
359
00:25:47,360 -- 00:25:49,430
...paralleled by the constant battles...
360
00:25:49,520 -- 00:25:52,239
...between the Mexican
and anglo settlers...
361
00:25:52,440 -- 00:25:55,876
...and the various Indian nations.
What are we seeing here, Chet?
362
00:25:58,640 -- 00:26:00,995
Everybody's killing everybody else?
363
00:26:09,560 -- 00:26:11,676
I always wondered what you mayors do...
364
00:26:11,760 -- 00:26:13,512
...when you're not cutting ribbons.
365
00:26:14,720 -- 00:26:15,789
Sam!
366
00:26:18,520 -- 00:26:19,509
Partner.
367
00:26:20,400 -- 00:26:22,197
You caught me playing hooky.
368
00:26:22,800 -- 00:26:25,360
Floating around out here,
playing hell with them bass.
369
00:26:25,440 -- 00:26:27,271
Sounds great! Where do I sign up?
370
00:26:27,920 -- 00:26:30,309
You been by your old place lately?
371
00:26:30,600 -- 00:26:31,669
No.
372
00:26:31,760 -- 00:26:33,796
New people painted it some awful color.
373
00:26:35,760 -- 00:26:38,752
We found a body out
by Fort McKenzie yesterday.
374
00:26:39,320 -- 00:26:40,878
It'd been there a long time.
375
00:26:40,960 -- 00:26:43,269
Was it Davy Crockett or Jim Bowie?
376
00:26:47,080 -- 00:26:49,958
You recall if Charlie Wade was a Mason?
377
00:26:50,800 -- 00:26:51,755
Charlie?
378
00:26:52,400 -- 00:26:55,710
I believe he used to go for Lodge meetings
over to Laredo.
379
00:26:56,880 -- 00:26:59,519
What's Charlie Wade got to do
with your body?
380
00:27:00,200 -- 00:27:03,158
All he was wearing was
a big old Masonic ring...
381
00:27:03,280 -- 00:27:05,350
...and a Rio County sheriff's badge.
382
00:27:12,480 -- 00:27:15,472
You remember anything else
from the last night you saw him?
383
00:27:15,560 -- 00:27:18,199
I told the story enough times.
384
00:27:19,400 -- 00:27:23,439
We were in the car. He was stewing about
his fight with Buddy as we drove over...
385
00:27:23,520 -- 00:27:25,272
...to Roderick Bledsoe's.
386
00:27:25,520 -- 00:27:26,589
Bledsoe?
387
00:27:26,720 -- 00:27:28,950
He owned the colored roadhouse
before Otis.
388
00:27:29,040 -- 00:27:30,075
He's still living?
389
00:27:30,320 -- 00:27:31,435
No.
390
00:27:32,280 -- 00:27:36,159
I think his widow's still in their place
in Darktown, though.
391
00:27:37,680 -- 00:27:40,114
You think it was Charlie Wade, huh?
392
00:27:40,920 -- 00:27:42,876
Forensics people are sure of it.
393
00:27:45,040 -- 00:27:47,600
You got any idea
who might have put him there?
394
00:27:49,000 -- 00:27:50,877
Besides my father, I mean.
395
00:27:52,360 -- 00:27:54,430
There's no call for that, Sam.
396
00:27:55,120 -- 00:27:57,998
Wade made himself a pile of enemies
over the years.
397
00:27:58,440 -- 00:28:01,193
-Buddy was one of them.
-The dedication's tomorrow.
398
00:28:02,240 -- 00:28:04,834
It's a hell of a time
to bring up old business.
399
00:28:05,400 -- 00:28:09,393
People have made this whole big thing
around my father. If it's built on a crime...
400
00:28:09,480 -- 00:28:11,072
...they deserve to know.
401
00:28:11,600 -- 00:28:14,512
I understand why you might want
to believe he couldn't do it.
402
00:28:14,600 -- 00:28:17,592
I understand why you might want
to think he could.
403
00:28:26,080 -- 00:28:28,196
Thanks for your time, Hollis.
404
00:28:29,920 -- 00:28:31,194
Look at all this.
405
00:28:35,040 -- 00:28:36,439
Tackle, boat....
406
00:28:38,600 -- 00:28:40,750
All just to catch a little old fish...
407
00:28:40,840 -- 00:28:43,991
...minding his own business
down at the bottom of the lake.
408
00:28:47,400 -- 00:28:50,073
Hardly seems worth the effort,
does it, Sam?
409
00:28:54,440 -- 00:28:56,476
You knew this young man before?
410
00:28:56,840 -- 00:28:59,912
From back in Houston.
We both come up off the street.
411
00:29:00,120 -- 00:29:01,997
Did you know he'd be there last night?
412
00:29:02,080 -- 00:29:04,719
If I had, I wouldn't have gone in.
413
00:29:05,160 -- 00:29:07,355
And you and Private Graves were....
414
00:29:07,560 -- 00:29:09,232
We were just dancing.
415
00:29:10,360 -- 00:29:12,157
We're not running a dating service.
416
00:29:12,240 -- 00:29:13,753
I know that, Sergeant.
417
00:29:14,000 -- 00:29:17,276
We were just dancing.
There was a bunch of us there.
418
00:29:17,520 -- 00:29:20,956
Shadow...just come down
looking for trouble.
419
00:29:22,160 -- 00:29:25,391
I don't like to get involved
with soldiers' personal lives...
420
00:29:25,600 -- 00:29:27,795
...but when it interferes with training....
421
00:29:27,880 -- 00:29:30,189
Shadow just gets crazy.
422
00:29:31,000 -- 00:29:33,878
Sergeant, how is Ritchie doing?
Private Graves?
423
00:29:34,440 -- 00:29:35,589
He'll live.
424
00:29:35,840 -- 00:29:37,637
He'll be transferred to Fort Sam...
425
00:29:37,720 -- 00:29:39,073
...as soon as he's stabilized.
426
00:29:39,160 -- 00:29:41,754
He'll probably be getting
a medical discharge.
427
00:29:43,920 -- 00:29:45,911
Will this go on my record?
428
00:29:47,200 -- 00:29:49,270
The incident will be noted.
429
00:29:49,800 -- 00:29:51,472
If it happened the way you say...
430
00:29:52,360 -- 00:29:54,430
...there hasn't been an infraction.
431
00:29:54,560 -- 00:29:55,993
Thank you, Sergeant.
432
00:29:56,360 -- 00:29:57,395
You're dismissed.
433
00:29:57,480 -- 00:29:59,038
Thank you, Sergeant.
434
00:30:09,840 -- 00:30:11,671
You spoil them, Cliff.
435
00:30:12,240 -- 00:30:15,471
-You don't believe her?
-That wasn't much of an interrogation.
436
00:30:15,560 -- 00:30:18,199
I'm in charge of her sorry ass and frankly--
437
00:30:18,280 -- 00:30:21,636
I won't give her the third-degree
because her ex-boyfriend's a thug.
438
00:30:21,720 -- 00:30:24,393
She's pulled herself out
of a rough neighborhood.
439
00:30:24,480 -- 00:30:27,995
And if she isn't careful,
she's gonna slide right back into it.
440
00:30:43,680 -- 00:30:45,033
Mrs. Bledsoe?
441
00:30:45,280 -- 00:30:46,395
That's me.
442
00:30:48,680 -- 00:30:50,238
I'm Sheriff Deeds.
443
00:30:51,880 -- 00:30:54,917
Sheriff Deeds is dead, honey.
You're just Sheriff Junior.
444
00:30:56,520 -- 00:30:58,750
Yeah, that's the story of my life.
445
00:30:59,320 -- 00:31:01,038
You ever play one of these?
446
00:31:04,040 -- 00:31:05,519
Yeah, I've seen them.
447
00:31:05,840 -- 00:31:08,195
Don't ever start up on them, because...
448
00:31:08,280 -- 00:31:10,430
...once you do, you can't stop.
449
00:31:11,040 -- 00:31:15,238
I tell myself I'll just play
three little games after breakfast...
450
00:31:15,720 -- 00:31:17,312
...and here I am...
451
00:31:18,160 -- 00:31:20,116
...with half the day gone.
452
00:31:20,520 -- 00:31:23,193
May I ask you a few questions
about your husband?
453
00:31:23,920 -- 00:31:25,114
Roderick.
454
00:31:25,240 -- 00:31:27,754
I ain't gonna say nothing bad
about the man...
455
00:31:27,960 -- 00:31:29,757
...but you can ask away.
456
00:31:30,480 -- 00:31:32,516
He had the club on Old Trail Road.
457
00:31:32,640 -- 00:31:35,154
We run that club for over 20 years.
458
00:31:35,720 -- 00:31:37,950
Give it over to Otis Payne...
459
00:31:38,560 -- 00:31:40,949
...in 1967, April.
460
00:31:42,360 -- 00:31:44,271
You must remember Sheriff Wade.
461
00:31:44,600 -- 00:31:45,874
Them days...
462
00:31:46,680 -- 00:31:49,513
...you deal with Sheriff Wade
or you didn't deal.
463
00:31:49,880 -- 00:31:52,189
First of the month, every month...
464
00:31:52,280 -- 00:31:54,748
...he'd remind you
who you really working for.
465
00:31:56,080 -- 00:31:58,071
So, he squeezed money out of you?
466
00:31:58,800 -- 00:32:03,316
It wasn't legal to sell liquor in a glass
back then, unless you was a club, see?
467
00:32:05,280 -- 00:32:06,838
Roderick used to say:
468
00:32:07,160 -- 00:32:09,879
''Buy yourself a glass,
get a free membership.''
469
00:32:11,760 -- 00:32:12,829
Sheriff Wade...
470
00:32:13,120 -- 00:32:15,350
...he could close you down anytime.
471
00:32:16,120 -- 00:32:17,758
And my father?
472
00:32:19,240 -- 00:32:21,231
Sheriff Buddy was a different story.
473
00:32:21,320 -- 00:32:25,393
As long as Roderick throw his weight
the right way at election day...
474
00:32:25,800 -- 00:32:29,554
...make sure all the colored come to vote,
throw a barbecue for the right folks....
475
00:32:29,640 -- 00:32:31,949
Sheriff Buddy kept to his word.
476
00:32:32,560 -- 00:32:34,437
That Sheriff Wade, though...
477
00:32:35,600 -- 00:32:37,158
...he could get ugly.
478
00:32:38,520 -- 00:32:40,078
People didn't complain?
479
00:32:41,040 -- 00:32:43,270
Not if you was colored or Mexican.
480
00:32:43,480 -- 00:32:45,550
Not if you wanted to keep breathing.
481
00:32:45,800 -- 00:32:48,997
I remember the last time I seen him
before he gone missing.
482
00:32:49,080 -- 00:32:51,275
He come fussing around our place.
483
00:32:51,600 -- 00:32:54,194
He used to come in
whilst we was in full swing.
484
00:32:54,840 -- 00:32:57,070
iMaking everybody nervous./i
485
00:32:57,400 -- 00:33:00,198
iHad him a smile like the Grim Reaper./i
486
00:33:00,720 -- 00:33:03,632
iHe used to sit there/i
iwith his hand on his old gun.../i
487
00:33:03,720 -- 00:33:06,359
i...acting the kingfish with everybody./i
488
00:33:10,200 -- 00:33:11,428
iOtis Payne come.../i
489
00:33:11,520 -- 00:33:13,670
i...to work for us about that time.../i
490
00:33:15,000 -- 00:33:18,310
i...and that boy had him some attitude./i
491
00:33:37,520 -- 00:33:38,475
Pour it.
492
00:33:39,920 -- 00:33:40,875
What?
493
00:33:41,520 -- 00:33:42,475
Pour it.
494
00:33:54,440 -- 00:33:55,475
I know you?
495
00:33:55,560 -- 00:33:56,754
Name's Otis.
496
00:33:57,720 -- 00:33:58,914
Otis what?
497
00:34:00,560 -- 00:34:01,549
Payne.
498
00:34:02,520 -- 00:34:03,873
They call me ''O.''
499
00:34:05,040 -- 00:34:06,632
One of Cleroe Payne's boys?
500
00:34:08,320 -- 00:34:10,390
I sent your daddy to the farm once.
501
00:34:12,080 -- 00:34:13,399
Yeah, I know that.
502
00:34:13,840 -- 00:34:15,432
Why you think that was?
503
00:34:17,160 -- 00:34:20,391
Some crop needed picking
and the man was short-handed.
504
00:34:21,760 -- 00:34:25,036
As I remember, it was 'cause
he had a sassy mouth on him.
505
00:34:25,200 -- 00:34:26,599
Must run in the family.
506
00:34:27,760 -- 00:34:30,194
You wouldn't be running numbers
out of this club?
507
00:34:32,160 -- 00:34:34,196
Running numbers is illegal, sir.
508
00:34:34,440 -- 00:34:38,513
Running numbers without I knowin'
about it is both illegal and unhealthy.
509
00:34:38,880 -- 00:34:40,233
You remember that.
510
00:34:42,360 -- 00:34:43,998
Son, you're not finished.
511
00:34:44,240 -- 00:34:45,309
Pour his.
512
00:34:46,000 -- 00:34:47,319
I prefer it in the bottle.
513
00:34:47,400 -- 00:34:48,719
Shut up, Hollis.
514
00:34:54,760 -- 00:34:56,432
How come you don't look familiar?
515
00:34:57,040 -- 00:34:58,917
I've been away, up in Houston.
516
00:34:59,720 -- 00:35:00,709
Houston?
517
00:35:00,960 -- 00:35:03,394
I hear they let you boys run wild up there.
518
00:35:04,200 -- 00:35:05,838
Look what you've done now.
519
00:35:06,120 -- 00:35:08,395
Better get something to wipe it up, son.
520
00:35:12,800 -- 00:35:15,234
You spilled it.
Maybe you should wipe it up.
521
00:35:22,920 -- 00:35:26,913
I told you to do something. Will you hop
to it or will we have a problem?
522
00:35:30,280 -- 00:35:33,113
You don't want to turn tail
in front of your people?
523
00:35:33,200 -- 00:35:34,519
I understand.
524
00:35:38,440 -- 00:35:40,670
Come on, Houston, give it a try.
525
00:35:41,160 -- 00:35:42,354
Come to Papa.
526
00:35:44,640 -- 00:35:45,868
Don't mind him.
527
00:35:45,960 -- 00:35:49,555
He's a bit slow, is all.
He don't mean nothing by it.
528
00:35:50,680 -- 00:35:52,193
That the problem, son?
529
00:35:52,480 -- 00:35:53,469
You slow?
530
00:35:54,440 -- 00:35:55,156
Otis!
531
00:35:56,000 -- 00:35:57,479
Apologize to the sheriff.
532
00:35:59,800 -- 00:36:02,439
Sheriff, you got him too scared to peep.
533
00:36:03,240 -- 00:36:05,151
Maybe if you'd put that gun up.
534
00:36:05,720 -- 00:36:07,073
You telling me what to do?
535
00:36:07,160 -- 00:36:08,878
No, Sheriff, I'm just....
536
00:36:09,000 -- 00:36:10,592
Is that whisky in them glasses?
537
00:36:12,720 -- 00:36:15,712
I'll have to cite you
for violation of a state law.
538
00:36:16,200 -- 00:36:18,589
This is a club, Sheriff. You've been here.
539
00:36:19,000 -- 00:36:21,560
You people better clear out of here now!
540
00:36:29,960 -- 00:36:31,996
Learn how to act your place, son.
541
00:36:33,640 -- 00:36:35,039
This isn't Houston.
542
00:36:39,520 -- 00:36:41,909
'Course, I was young...
543
00:36:42,880 -- 00:36:44,791
...and full of beans back then.
544
00:36:45,920 -- 00:36:49,993
I didn't understand the spot
I was putting Roderick in.
545
00:36:56,120 -- 00:36:58,953
And that was the last time you saw him?
546
00:37:00,600 -- 00:37:03,160
I think he came in one more time...
547
00:37:04,480 -- 00:37:06,152
...with Hollis and....
548
00:37:06,720 -- 00:37:08,836
No, no, your daddy wasn't with him.
549
00:37:09,080 -- 00:37:11,150
Made their monthly pickup.
550
00:37:11,840 -- 00:37:16,152
Roderick wasn't in, so I kept my mouth
shut and handed over that envelope.
551
00:37:17,360 -- 00:37:19,078
That was the night he disappeared?
552
00:37:21,440 -- 00:37:22,714
Could have been.
553
00:37:30,120 -- 00:37:31,348
You own a gun?
554
00:37:32,480 -- 00:37:33,356
Back then?
555
00:37:34,240 -- 00:37:35,275
No.
556
00:37:36,600 -- 00:37:37,715
How about Roderick?
557
00:37:38,520 -- 00:37:39,748
Oh, he kept...
558
00:37:41,120 -- 00:37:45,432
...a big old piece back behind the bar,
just so folks knew it was there.
559
00:37:46,400 -- 00:37:48,311
I don't keep one here now.
560
00:37:49,000 -- 00:37:50,797
Don't much care for them.
561
00:37:52,360 -- 00:37:54,271
And when my father was sheriff?
562
00:37:54,560 -- 00:37:55,549
What about him?
563
00:37:55,800 -- 00:37:57,472
What was your deal with him?
564
00:38:03,400 -- 00:38:06,119
Buddy was more part of the big picture:
565
00:38:07,400 -- 00:38:09,436
County political machine...
566
00:38:10,120 -- 00:38:12,680
...Chamber of Commerce, zoning Board....
567
00:38:14,280 -- 00:38:17,955
If I kept those people happy,
he was pretty much on my side.
568
00:38:18,400 -- 00:38:23,076
When somebody thought of starting up
a new bar for the black folks, they'd be....
569
00:38:24,960 -- 00:38:26,712
How should I say this?
570
00:38:27,120 -- 00:38:29,475
They'd be officially discouraged.
571
00:38:31,120 -- 00:38:33,031
He ever accept cash for a favor?
572
00:38:40,600 -- 00:38:43,910
I don't recall a prisoner ever died...
573
00:38:44,320 -- 00:38:46,231
...in your daddy's custody.
574
00:38:47,680 -- 00:38:49,875
I don't recall a man in this county...
575
00:38:50,080 -- 00:38:52,116
...black, white, Mexican...
576
00:38:53,040 -- 00:38:55,429
...who'd hesitate for a minute...
577
00:38:56,040 -- 00:38:59,589
...before they'd call on Buddy Deeds
to solve a problem.
578
00:39:00,920 -- 00:39:02,353
More than that...
579
00:39:04,040 -- 00:39:05,712
...I wouldn't care to say.
580
00:39:08,280 -- 00:39:11,397
I'm supposed to tell my friends
they're too low-class to hang with?
581
00:39:11,480 -- 00:39:12,833
Come on, Amado.
582
00:39:12,960 -- 00:39:16,191
-'Cause I'm not like Miss Honor Roll?
-Leave your sister out of it.
583
00:39:16,280 -- 00:39:18,271
You and those teachers in that dump....
584
00:39:18,360 -- 00:39:20,635
Your story's over, so nobody can have fun.
585
00:39:20,720 -- 00:39:21,630
You jerk.
586
00:39:21,720 -- 00:39:23,551
You have no friends.
587
00:39:23,640 -- 00:39:25,631
Who'd be friends with a ipachuco/i wannabe?
588
00:39:26,000 -- 00:39:29,549
-I don't pretend I came on the Mayflower.
-And those stupid girls.
589
00:39:29,640 -- 00:39:30,675
Shut up.
590
00:39:31,000 -- 00:39:34,356
Joanie Orozco's telling the whole school
she's in love with Santo Guerra.
591
00:39:34,440 -- 00:39:35,316
So?
592
00:39:35,400 -- 00:39:37,868
You can't be desperately in love
when you're 14.
593
00:39:38,760 -- 00:39:40,876
Not if you have half a brain in your head.
594
00:39:40,960 -- 00:39:42,552
Of course, you can.
595
00:39:43,160 -- 00:39:44,036
What?
596
00:39:44,480 -- 00:39:47,119
It's got nothing to do with being smart.
597
00:39:48,040 -- 00:39:50,508
It's ancient goddamn history, Danny.
598
00:39:50,680 -- 00:39:54,355
1963, they dam up the north branch
to make Lake Pescadero...
599
00:39:54,440 -- 00:39:56,351
...and a whole town disappears.
600
00:39:56,440 -- 00:39:57,634
A squatter's town!
601
00:39:57,720 -- 00:40:02,032
People lived in Perdido for over 100 years!
Mexicans and Chicanos are deported...
602
00:40:02,120 -- 00:40:05,829
...forcibly evicted by our local hero,
Buddy Deeds, and his department.
603
00:40:06,000 -- 00:40:08,116
There was a bill from the state legislature.
604
00:40:08,200 -- 00:40:11,317
Families were split apart!
A whole community was destroyed!
605
00:40:11,440 -- 00:40:15,592
And who gets Lakefront property
bought for a fraction of the market price?
606
00:40:15,920 -- 00:40:19,754
Buddy Deeds, Sheriff of Rio County,
and his Chief Deputy, Hollis Pogue.
607
00:40:20,520 -- 00:40:21,839
Are you finished?
608
00:40:23,240 -- 00:40:25,037
Look, I'm not after you, Sam.
609
00:40:25,440 -- 00:40:28,910
I just think people ought to know
the full story on Buddy Deeds.
610
00:40:31,280 -- 00:40:32,759
That makes two of us.
611
00:40:36,720 -- 00:40:40,838
What's the big deal? Go back over,
talk to the man, and bury the hatchet.
612
00:40:40,920 -- 00:40:44,151
Why me? He's had almost 40 years
and I haven't heard from him.
613
00:40:44,240 -- 00:40:45,639
He was probably embarrassed.
614
00:40:45,720 -- 00:40:48,871
Otis Payne was never embarrassed
about a thing in his life.
615
00:40:49,120 -- 00:40:50,917
You were 8 when he left.
616
00:40:51,160 -- 00:40:54,232
He moved three houses down
with my mother's best friend.
617
00:40:54,760 -- 00:40:55,795
Dad.
618
00:40:56,480 -- 00:40:58,630
''Delmore, where's your daddy?''
619
00:40:58,760 -- 00:41:02,275
Godforsaken town.
Everybody in everybody else's business.
620
00:41:02,480 -- 00:41:04,152
Everybody loved Otis. Big ''O.''
621
00:41:04,240 -- 00:41:07,357
Always there with a smile or a loan...
622
00:41:07,440 -- 00:41:10,238
-...or a free drink.
-Dad, can I talk to you about track?
623
00:41:10,320 -- 00:41:11,275
People change.
624
00:41:11,840 -- 00:41:12,989
Not that much.
625
00:41:13,080 -- 00:41:14,035
I talked to the coach.
626
00:41:14,120 -- 00:41:16,315
I told you. Next year,
if your grades are high.
627
00:41:16,400 -- 00:41:17,594
I have a B average!
628
00:41:17,680 -- 00:41:20,353
How many B students do you think
they take at West Point?
629
00:41:20,440 -- 00:41:22,829
We'll be here for three years.
We'll have to see him.
630
00:41:23,480 -- 00:41:24,879
No, we don't.
631
00:41:34,160 -- 00:41:37,152
Get off the phone.
We've got a big wedding.
632
00:41:37,480 -- 00:41:38,435
Mommy....
633
00:41:42,520 -- 00:41:44,715
They are getting stupider every year.
634
00:41:44,840 -- 00:41:47,115
Maybe you're getting less patient.
635
00:41:47,680 -- 00:41:50,877
If they're going to survive,
they have to know how to work.
636
00:41:51,240 -- 00:41:53,708
You hire illegals, what do you expect?
637
00:41:54,280 -- 00:41:56,191
Nobody's illegal in my cafe!
638
00:41:56,560 -- 00:41:59,996
They've got green cards,
relatives who were born here.
639
00:42:00,400 -- 00:42:03,153
If they only had a little common sense,
I'd be happy.
640
00:42:03,240 -- 00:42:06,232
If you took more time training them,
you wouldn't have to--
641
00:42:06,320 -- 00:42:09,676
Did you come here to teach me
how to run my business?
642
00:42:17,440 -- 00:42:19,476
Do you want to take a trip...
643
00:42:19,600 -- 00:42:21,033
...down south with us?
644
00:42:21,120 -- 00:42:23,111
Maybe see where you grew up?
645
00:42:23,560 -- 00:42:26,393
-Why would I want to go there?
-You must be curious...
646
00:42:26,480 -- 00:42:30,234
...how it's changed. Amado is
into this big itejano/i-roots thing...
647
00:42:31,680 -- 00:42:34,274
...and I've never been further
than Ciudad Len.
648
00:42:34,480 -- 00:42:36,118
You want to see Mexicans?
649
00:42:36,280 -- 00:42:38,316
Open your eyes and look around you.
650
00:42:38,600 -- 00:42:40,477
We're up to our ears in them.
651
00:42:42,480 -- 00:42:43,754
Mommy...
652
00:42:45,600 -- 00:42:48,194
...how old were you when my father died?
653
00:42:49,120 -- 00:42:50,439
He was killed.
654
00:42:51,040 -- 00:42:52,758
Right, when he was killed.
655
00:42:54,440 -- 00:42:56,908
A little older than Paloma is now.
656
00:42:57,800 -- 00:42:59,631
How come you never remarried?
657
00:43:01,240 -- 00:43:03,151
It just didn't happen.
658
00:43:04,680 -- 00:43:05,954
There must have been...
659
00:43:06,040 -- 00:43:07,155
...somebody.
660
00:43:08,560 -- 00:43:09,959
I was too busy.
661
00:43:12,400 -- 00:43:14,391
Nobody is too busy.
662
00:43:15,000 -- 00:43:16,035
Maybe now.
663
00:43:16,320 -- 00:43:18,356
It was different back then.
664
00:43:18,840 -- 00:43:21,718
I had to do all the shopping,
all the cooking....
665
00:43:22,040 -- 00:43:25,874
What do I need some ichulo/i with grease
under his nails to drink up the profit?
666
00:43:27,000 -- 00:43:27,876
Thank you.
667
00:43:28,160 -- 00:43:29,388
I don't mean Fernando.
668
00:43:30,720 -- 00:43:33,280
When I brought him home,
those were your exact words:
669
00:43:33,360 -- 00:43:35,351
''A ichulo/i with grease under his nails.''
670
00:43:35,440 -- 00:43:36,555
I never said that.
671
00:43:36,640 -- 00:43:39,359
You made it pretty damn clear.
You thought he was nobody.
672
00:43:40,280 -- 00:43:42,236
I thought you could do better.
673
00:43:42,400 -- 00:43:43,833
What? What?
674
00:43:45,120 -- 00:43:48,510
Become a nun? You didn't even want me
to go out with anglos.
675
00:43:48,600 -- 00:43:51,034
I never said that. Just that boy.
676
00:43:52,160 -- 00:43:53,434
''That boy.''
677
00:43:54,640 -- 00:43:56,790
Say his name, for Christ's sake.
678
00:43:59,840 -- 00:44:02,149
You people are stealing from me.
679
00:44:09,080 -- 00:44:10,195
iIs she your mother?/i
680
00:44:12,800 -- 00:44:13,755
iI'm sorry./i
681
00:44:14,480 -- 00:44:17,040
Now, I'm as liberal as the next guy.
682
00:44:17,360 -- 00:44:19,476
If the next guy is a redneck.
683
00:44:20,280 -- 00:44:21,679
But I got to say...
684
00:44:22,240 -- 00:44:25,391
...I think there's something
to this cold-climate business.
685
00:44:25,760 -- 00:44:28,149
I mean, you go to the beach...
686
00:44:28,600 -- 00:44:29,919
...what do you do?
687
00:44:31,000 -- 00:44:34,709
Drink a few beers, wait for that fish
to flop up on the sand.
688
00:44:35,040 -- 00:44:37,838
You can't build no civilization that way.
689
00:44:38,800 -- 00:44:40,995
But you got a cold winter coming on...
690
00:44:41,280 -- 00:44:42,838
...you got to plan ahead.
691
00:44:42,920 -- 00:44:45,434
That gives your old cerebral cortex
a workout.
692
00:44:45,520 -- 00:44:47,829
Good thing you were born down here then.
693
00:44:49,440 -- 00:44:52,750
You joke about it, Sam,
but we are in a state of crisis.
694
00:44:53,240 -- 00:44:55,993
The lines of demarcation are getting fuzzy.
695
00:44:56,200 -- 00:45:00,034
To run a successful civilization, you've got
to have your lines of demarcation...
696
00:45:00,120 -- 00:45:03,192
...between right and wrong,
this one and that one.
697
00:45:03,880 -- 00:45:05,279
Your daddy understood that.
698
00:45:05,360 -- 00:45:07,271
He was.... What do you call it?
699
00:45:08,040 -- 00:45:11,237
The referee in this damn imenudo/i
we got down here.
700
00:45:11,680 -- 00:45:16,470
He understood how most folks don't want
their salt and sugar in the same jar.
701
00:45:17,720 -- 00:45:18,709
If you mixed drinks...
702
00:45:18,800 -- 00:45:20,552
...as bad as you mix metaphors...
703
00:45:20,640 -- 00:45:22,312
...you'd be out of a job.
704
00:45:22,640 -- 00:45:25,393
You're the last white sheriff
this town will see.
705
00:45:25,600 -- 00:45:29,559
Hollis retires next year.
Jorge Guerra will take over.
706
00:45:30,000 -- 00:45:31,991
This is it, right here, Sam.
707
00:45:32,440 -- 00:45:37,150
This bar is the last stand.
iSe habla/i American, goddamn it!
708
00:45:38,400 -- 00:45:40,868
And even in here, it's sliding away.
709
00:45:42,520 -- 00:45:44,829
Take that pair over there in the corner.
710
00:45:46,720 -- 00:45:49,393
A place like this, 20 years ago...
711
00:45:50,400 -- 00:45:53,790
...Buddy'd been on them.
He'd have went over there...
712
00:45:53,880 -- 00:45:55,632
...and given them a warning.
713
00:45:55,800 -- 00:45:59,634
Not that he had it in for the colored,
but just as a kind of a safety tip.
714
00:46:01,640 -- 00:46:03,278
Yeah, bet he would.
715
00:46:04,440 -- 00:46:06,032
The day that man died...
716
00:46:07,400 -- 00:46:09,709
...they broke the goddamn mold.
717
00:46:16,240 -- 00:46:18,196
-Seriously.
-Seriously?
718
00:46:18,520 -- 00:46:20,351
I think we should get married.
719
00:46:21,600 -- 00:46:23,192
We've been through this before.
720
00:46:23,280 -- 00:46:24,633
We should just do it.
721
00:46:24,720 -- 00:46:28,269
And if I get transferred to another post?
Germany or Korea?
722
00:46:28,680 -- 00:46:30,159
I'd ask for a transfer too.
723
00:46:30,240 -- 00:46:32,151
Which they'd most likely turn down.
724
00:46:32,240 -- 00:46:34,470
I'd quit the Army for you, if it came to that.
725
00:46:35,960 -- 00:46:37,712
You know, you are something.
726
00:46:38,040 -- 00:46:41,749
Man's going to retire in two years
and he offers to quit.
727
00:46:41,960 -- 00:46:43,518
Big goddamn deal.
728
00:46:44,200 -- 00:46:45,269
Excuse me.
729
00:46:45,600 -- 00:46:46,555
Sheriff.
730
00:46:47,240 -- 00:46:48,753
This is Sergeant....
731
00:46:49,080 -- 00:46:50,957
This is Priscilla Worth.
732
00:46:51,240 -- 00:46:54,038
Sheriff Deeds was with us
on our archeological find.
733
00:46:54,200 -- 00:46:56,111
They're building a shopping mall there?
734
00:46:56,880 -- 00:47:00,156
If certain people have their way,
it's gonna be a new jail.
735
00:47:00,840 -- 00:47:03,752
They're closing down military
and putting up jails...
736
00:47:03,840 -- 00:47:05,239
...like 7-1 1 stores.
737
00:47:07,120 -- 00:47:11,033
Do either of you have any idea
when they stopped using that site...
738
00:47:11,120 -- 00:47:12,553
...as a rifle range?
739
00:47:13,200 -- 00:47:15,270
Fort McKenzie stopped training infantry...
740
00:47:15,360 -- 00:47:18,875
...there in the late '50s. It was just
a playground for the jackrabbits...
741
00:47:19,120 -- 00:47:21,634
...till they gave it to the county last year.
742
00:47:22,240 -- 00:47:23,878
You know who it was they dug up?
743
00:47:24,240 -- 00:47:25,753
Not for sure yet.
744
00:47:27,080 -- 00:47:28,991
But I kind of wish they hadn't.
745
00:47:36,080 -- 00:47:39,516
In English, Enrique.
This is the United States.
746
00:47:39,840 -- 00:47:41,353
We speak English.
747
00:47:41,960 -- 00:47:43,951
Is very beautiful, your car.
748
00:47:44,440 -- 00:47:47,398
-Good night, Enrique.
-iBuenas noches, seora./i
749
00:48:22,000 -- 00:48:23,069
Carolyn....
750
00:48:24,120 -- 00:48:25,348
Knock that off.
751
00:48:37,800 -- 00:48:39,199
Black Seminoles?
752
00:48:40,720 -- 00:48:42,119
Hobby of mine.
753
00:48:42,840 -- 00:48:44,193
A few artifacts...
754
00:48:44,640 -- 00:48:47,712
...couple of pieces one of your men
out on the base made.
755
00:48:48,400 -- 00:48:49,719
Admission's free.
756
00:48:55,360 -- 00:48:56,998
This is where he was shot?
757
00:48:58,640 -- 00:49:00,119
He fell right by the door.
758
00:49:00,200 -- 00:49:01,679
You get much of that here?
759
00:49:03,400 -- 00:49:04,594
It's a bar.
760
00:49:05,560 -- 00:49:07,312
Folks come together...
761
00:49:07,920 -- 00:49:10,753
...drink, fall in love, fall out of love...
762
00:49:11,000 -- 00:49:12,672
...hear their grudges out.
763
00:49:13,080 -- 00:49:14,991
Deal drugs in the bathroom.
764
00:49:15,840 -- 00:49:17,831
If I thought it would do any good...
765
00:49:17,920 -- 00:49:20,354
...I'd put up a sign telling them not to...
766
00:49:20,680 -- 00:49:24,116
...right next to the one about
the employees washing their hands.
767
00:49:25,640 -- 00:49:27,119
This here is Carolyn.
768
00:49:28,320 -- 00:49:29,070
Honey...
769
00:49:29,160 -- 00:49:31,720
...this is my son, Delmore.
770
00:49:34,160 -- 00:49:35,912
Nice to meet you, ma'am.
771
00:49:38,120 -- 00:49:40,839
I'll be in the back waiting for that delivery.
772
00:49:48,360 -- 00:49:49,315
So?
773
00:49:50,120 -- 00:49:51,075
So.
774
00:49:53,520 -- 00:49:56,318
Tell me why I shouldn't make
this place off-limits.
775
00:49:59,240 -- 00:50:01,071
This is an official visit then.
776
00:50:01,160 -- 00:50:04,391
I assume most of your business
is with our people.
777
00:50:07,280 -- 00:50:11,193
Your boys are cooped up together.
They need a place to let the steam out.
778
00:50:11,760 -- 00:50:15,309
If they're black, there's not
but one spot in this county...
779
00:50:15,400 -- 00:50:17,118
...where they feel welcome.
780
00:50:17,400 -- 00:50:18,992
It's been that way...
781
00:50:19,280 -- 00:50:21,111
...since before you were born.
782
00:50:21,200 -- 00:50:23,589
We have an enlisted man's club
at the post.
783
00:50:24,920 -- 00:50:27,229
You the man out there now, ain't you?
784
00:50:28,320 -- 00:50:29,548
It's your call.
785
00:50:30,320 -- 00:50:31,594
That's right.
786
00:50:33,960 -- 00:50:36,599
I've been hearing about
this new command out there...
787
00:50:36,680 -- 00:50:38,557
...for a couple of weeks now.
788
00:50:39,800 -- 00:50:42,439
The boys say they hear he's a hard case...
789
00:50:42,880 -- 00:50:45,110
...a real spit-and-polish man.
790
00:50:45,680 -- 00:50:48,274
Full bird colonel by the name of Payne.
791
00:50:49,120 -- 00:50:51,315
Bet you never figured
you'd end up back here.
792
00:50:53,840 -- 00:50:56,479
When the Army offers you a command,
you go...
793
00:50:56,600 -- 00:50:57,919
...wherever it is.
794
00:50:58,880 -- 00:51:00,074
Right.
795
00:51:01,320 -- 00:51:02,389
I hear things too.
796
00:51:02,480 -- 00:51:04,072
They call you...
797
00:51:04,680 -- 00:51:06,557
...the mayor of Darktown.
798
00:51:07,920 -- 00:51:11,435
Over the years this is the one place
that's always been there.
799
00:51:11,840 -- 00:51:15,116
I loan a little money out,
I've settled a few arguments.
800
00:51:15,680 -- 00:51:19,958
I got a cot in the back. Folks get scared
to go home, they spend the night.
801
00:51:21,360 -- 00:51:24,238
There's not enough of us
to run anything in this town.
802
00:51:27,080 -- 00:51:28,991
It's the Holiness Church...
803
00:51:29,400 -- 00:51:30,594
...or Big O's.
804
00:51:32,320 -- 00:51:34,117
And the people make a choice.
805
00:51:35,480 -- 00:51:37,436
Most of them choose both.
806
00:51:38,240 -- 00:51:40,629
It's not like there's a borderline...
807
00:51:41,000 -- 00:51:43,355
...between the good people
and the bad people.
808
00:51:44,160 -- 00:51:45,388
You're not on either...
809
00:51:45,480 -- 00:51:46,879
...one side or the other.
810
00:51:50,320 -- 00:51:51,309
Right.
811
00:51:53,920 -- 00:51:55,592
Will I meet that family of yours?
812
00:51:59,640 -- 00:52:01,471
Why would you want to do that?
813
00:52:02,240 -- 00:52:04,629
Because I'm your father.
814
00:52:12,320 -- 00:52:15,596
You'll get official notification
when I make my decision.
815
00:52:32,200 -- 00:52:33,553
So, that's him.
816
00:52:34,040 -- 00:52:35,473
Yeah, that's him.
817
00:52:36,840 -- 00:52:38,831
Historic occasion, ain't it?
818
00:52:38,920 -- 00:52:41,115
Seems like we have another one
every week.
819
00:52:41,200 -- 00:52:45,239
Jorge and the boys down at the Chamber
of Commerce got to keep things humming.
820
00:52:45,360 -- 00:52:46,952
Building up tourism, Sam.
821
00:52:47,040 -- 00:52:51,477
Most people come here to catch bass and
get laid at the Boy's Town in Ciudad Len.
822
00:52:51,960 -- 00:52:56,078
You ought to put up a banner, ''Frontera,
Texas - Gateway to Inexpensive Pussy.''
823
00:52:56,160 -- 00:52:58,230
That kind of talk doesn't help.
824
00:52:59,160 -- 00:53:02,152
I'd rather have that
than a 10-foot-high catfish statue.
825
00:53:02,240 -- 00:53:04,959
Eddie Richter at the iSentinel/i
will kill that story.
826
00:53:06,120 -- 00:53:07,473
The Perdido thing?
827
00:53:07,600 -- 00:53:09,716
He agreed it wasn't exactly news.
828
00:53:10,520 -- 00:53:12,750
Danny will be out for blood the next time.
829
00:53:12,840 -- 00:53:16,594
That's why we need to talk to you
about the new jail.
830
00:53:16,760 -- 00:53:18,830
Come on, we don't need a new jail.
831
00:53:19,120 -- 00:53:20,678
That's a matter of opinion.
832
00:53:20,760 -- 00:53:23,513
We're already renting cells to the Feds
for their overflow.
833
00:53:24,040 -- 00:53:28,750
It wouldn't be your construction company
who'd get the bid on building this thing?
834
00:53:30,080 -- 00:53:31,274
And, Jorge....
835
00:53:32,400 -- 00:53:35,073
You wouldn't be thinking
about a couple dozen new jobs...
836
00:53:35,160 -- 00:53:38,550
...to dangle by the voters when you run
for mayor next election?
837
00:53:38,800 -- 00:53:41,598
Damn it, Sam! The people
are concerned about crime.
838
00:53:41,880 -- 00:53:44,553
I'm not gonna campaign
against your deal here.
839
00:53:44,920 -- 00:53:46,239
But if anybody asks...
840
00:53:46,320 -- 00:53:49,995
...I've got to tell them the truth.
We don't need a new jail.
841
00:53:50,240 -- 00:53:51,389
We backed you--
842
00:53:51,480 -- 00:53:54,278
When you backed me,
you needed somebody named Deeds...
843
00:53:54,360 -- 00:53:56,715
...to bump the other fella out of office.
844
00:53:59,760 -- 00:54:01,955
-Hey, folks.
-Fenton, what's up, buddy?
845
00:54:02,480 -- 00:54:05,040
-How you doing?
-Let's get this thing over with.
846
00:54:16,120 -- 00:54:19,430
I never thought I'd see a buddy of mine
dating a woman...
847
00:54:19,640 -- 00:54:21,596
...with three bars on her shoulder.
848
00:54:21,680 -- 00:54:23,557
It's beyond what you'd call dating.
849
00:54:23,640 -- 00:54:25,358
You're going to get married?
850
00:54:25,440 -- 00:54:26,395
Maybe.
851
00:54:26,480 -- 00:54:27,913
You met her family?
852
00:54:29,040 -- 00:54:31,554
They gonna be cool
about you being a white guy?
853
00:54:31,640 -- 00:54:36,395
Priscilla says they think a woman over 30
who's not married must be a lesbian.
854
00:54:37,000 -- 00:54:39,309
She figures they'll be so relieved
I'm a man....
855
00:54:39,400 -- 00:54:43,279
It's always heartwarming to see
a prejudice defeated by a deeper prejudice.
856
00:54:43,720 -- 00:54:45,995
But marriage, man, I don't know.
857
00:54:46,720 -- 00:54:47,869
Let's see....
858
00:54:48,080 -- 00:54:50,799
I did two tours of duty in Southeast Asia...
859
00:54:50,960 -- 00:54:53,190
...and I was married for five years.
860
00:54:53,680 -- 00:54:55,875
I couldn't tell you
which experience was worse.
861
00:54:55,960 -- 00:54:56,631
Mikey?
862
00:54:56,720 -- 00:54:59,439
I knew she was Japanese,
but she didn't tell me...
863
00:54:59,600 -- 00:55:01,318
...the Ninja-assassin part.
864
00:55:01,640 -- 00:55:04,712
Parents acted like I'd blow my nose
on their curtains.
865
00:55:05,720 -- 00:55:09,190
If I stayed out past 10:00,
she'd do a Madam Butterfly routine.
866
00:55:09,320 -- 00:55:10,992
Mikey, look at this.
867
00:55:11,560 -- 00:55:12,549
What?
868
00:55:12,640 -- 00:55:14,756
It's a bullet. I'm lousy with bullets.
869
00:55:14,840 -- 00:55:16,114
It's a .45.
870
00:55:17,400 -- 00:55:20,278
This is the stuff we picked up
the other day, right?
871
00:55:20,640 -- 00:55:23,677
-Rest of this is all .30 caliber.
-They used M-1s.
872
00:55:25,040 -- 00:55:28,430
So what's a pistol slug doing
on a rifle range?
873
00:55:30,000 -- 00:55:31,877
We'd better call that sheriff.
874
00:55:33,320 -- 00:55:35,754
Back in the early '70s...
875
00:55:36,520 -- 00:55:40,911
...a reporter from a national magazine
asked the governor of our Lone Star state:
876
00:55:41,320 -- 00:55:42,275
''Governor...
877
00:55:42,760 -- 00:55:44,273
''...what's your ideal...
878
00:55:44,360 -- 00:55:46,874
''...of what a real Texan ought to be?''
879
00:55:48,080 -- 00:55:49,308
Governor said:
880
00:55:49,680 -- 00:55:51,238
''Son, that's easy.
881
00:55:51,720 -- 00:55:52,948
''Just go down to...
882
00:55:53,040 -- 00:55:54,837
''...Rio County and look at...
883
00:55:54,920 -- 00:55:56,797
''...Sheriff Buddy Deeds.''
884
00:55:59,560 -- 00:56:00,675
Thank you.
885
00:56:01,120 -- 00:56:02,269
There's...
886
00:56:02,600 -- 00:56:05,319
...one more person
we ought to hear from and...
887
00:56:06,120 -- 00:56:09,635
...I think he's somebody that knew Buddy
better than any of us.
888
00:56:10,240 -- 00:56:11,195
Sam....
889
00:56:11,480 -- 00:56:12,754
Say a few words?
890
00:56:18,280 -- 00:56:21,238
Well, you folks who remember my father...
891
00:56:21,640 -- 00:56:23,392
...knew him as sheriff.
892
00:56:23,960 -- 00:56:27,077
But at home he was also judge, jury...
893
00:56:28,520 -- 00:56:29,919
...and executioner.
894
00:56:32,480 -- 00:56:35,119
This is a real honor you're doing him today.
895
00:56:35,880 -- 00:56:40,556
If Buddy was around, I know his hat size
would be getting bigger every minute.
896
00:56:42,160 -- 00:56:46,597
I used to think there wasn't a place here
you could hide from my old man.
897
00:56:48,400 -- 00:56:49,958
And now I'm sure of it.
898
00:56:52,800 -- 00:56:54,711
I do appreciate it, though.
899
00:56:55,560 -- 00:56:59,792
And wherever he is, Buddy's putting
the beer on ice for you. So, thank you.
900
00:57:04,040 -- 00:57:07,112
And now, my favorite council member...
901
00:57:07,360 -- 00:57:11,399
...and one of Frontera's
most respected businesswomen...
902
00:57:11,800 -- 00:57:13,916
...Mrs. Mercedes Cruz...
903
00:57:14,360 -- 00:57:15,873
...will do the honors.
904
00:57:33,280 -- 00:57:35,236
It does look kind of like Buddy.
905
00:57:35,480 -- 00:57:38,199
I think he'll run that Mexican kid in
for loitering.
906
00:57:38,280 -- 00:57:40,191
Nice to see you, Mrs. Cruz.
907
00:57:51,200 -- 00:57:52,633
Field trip?
908
00:57:52,800 -- 00:57:54,074
Lunch hour.
909
00:57:54,240 -- 00:57:56,470
My next class isn't until 1:30.
910
00:57:58,840 -- 00:58:00,478
You want to take a walk?
911
00:58:12,640 -- 00:58:15,632
They cooked the whole thing up
without asking me.
912
00:58:15,920 -- 00:58:17,592
People liked him.
913
00:58:19,680 -- 00:58:21,432
Most people did, yeah.
914
00:58:24,600 -- 00:58:26,830
I remember him watching me once...
915
00:58:27,560 -- 00:58:29,118
...when I was little...
916
00:58:29,360 -- 00:58:30,873
...before you and I....
917
00:58:34,080 -- 00:58:37,072
I was in the playground
with all the other kids.
918
00:58:37,720 -- 00:58:39,995
I thought he was only looking at me.
919
00:58:41,120 -- 00:58:43,714
I was afraid he was going to arrest me.
920
00:58:43,840 -- 00:58:45,876
He had those eyes, and that....
921
00:58:46,080 -- 00:58:47,149
Yeah.
922
00:58:48,880 -- 00:58:51,030
It's weird what you remember.
923
00:58:56,120 -- 00:58:57,394
Your boy there.
924
00:58:58,360 -- 00:58:59,156
Amado.
925
00:58:59,240 -- 00:59:00,309
Nice looking kid.
926
00:59:00,400 -- 00:59:01,515
He hates me.
927
00:59:03,560 -- 00:59:04,470
No.
928
00:59:05,680 -- 00:59:10,356
With Paloma, it's like she pities
and tolerates me, totally age-appropriate.
929
00:59:10,720 -- 00:59:12,278
But with Amado...
930
00:59:12,760 -- 00:59:16,594
...you know, he's always had
difficulty reading and me...
931
00:59:16,920 -- 00:59:21,596
...being a teacher and caring
about those things, it's like a betrayal.
932
00:59:21,680 -- 00:59:23,352
But Fernando did okay.
933
00:59:23,480 -- 00:59:24,754
He dropped out.
934
00:59:24,840 -- 00:59:29,231
Fernando wasn't pissed off at everybody.
He just wanted to fix their cars.
935
00:59:31,480 -- 00:59:34,950
I spent my first 15 years
trying to be just like Buddy.
936
00:59:35,360 -- 00:59:38,079
The next 15 trying
to give him a heart attack.
937
00:59:45,560 -- 00:59:47,949
So, why did you come back here, Sam?
938
00:59:51,360 -- 00:59:52,918
I got divorced...
939
00:59:55,680 -- 00:59:58,558
...and I wouldn't work
for my father-in-law anymore.
940
00:59:59,760 -- 01:00:01,751
And the fellas down here...
941
01:00:02,600 -- 01:00:04,511
...they said they'd back me.
942
01:00:05,920 -- 01:00:07,751
You don't want to be sheriff.
943
01:00:09,880 -- 01:00:12,474
I got to admit,
it's not what I thought it'd be.
944
01:00:13,400 -- 01:00:15,356
Back when Buddy had it....
945
01:00:19,560 -- 01:00:21,471
Hell, I'm just a jailer.
946
01:00:23,160 -- 01:00:26,232
Run a 60-room hotel
with bars on the windows.
947
01:00:30,440 -- 01:00:31,873
Do you remember this?
948
01:00:35,840 -- 01:00:37,592
I ought to head back.
949
01:00:38,440 -- 01:00:41,432
It looks real bad
if a teacher's late for class.
950
01:00:43,920 -- 01:00:46,354
It's real nice to talk with you, Sam.
951
01:01:15,440 -- 01:01:17,078
Are you going to tell her?
952
01:01:19,440 -- 01:01:20,873
Are you going to tell him?
953
01:01:20,960 -- 01:01:22,757
He doesn't need to know my business.
954
01:01:23,600 -- 01:01:25,318
He's going to find out.
955
01:01:25,520 -- 01:01:27,556
What is he going to do, arrest us?
956
01:01:30,640 -- 01:01:33,996
It's supposed to be a big sin
even if you love each other.
957
01:01:35,440 -- 01:01:36,873
Do you believe that?
958
01:01:38,640 -- 01:01:39,675
No.
959
01:01:55,440 -- 01:01:56,634
Me neither.
960
01:02:00,520 -- 01:02:01,953
Private Johnson!
961
01:02:03,800 -- 01:02:05,916
Report to the sergeant
in the orderly's room.
962
01:02:06,000 -- 01:02:07,752
The doctor will have a look at you.
963
01:02:07,840 -- 01:02:09,319
No, I'm feeling okay.
964
01:02:09,840 -- 01:02:11,034
I'm happy to hear it.
965
01:02:11,120 -- 01:02:14,829
You go put some pee-pee in the cup
for Dr. Innis and I'll feel okay too.
966
01:02:16,080 -- 01:02:17,991
You testing me?
967
01:02:18,440 -- 01:02:22,115
You and 1 19 other fortunate individuals.
Put it in gear.
968
01:02:26,880 -- 01:02:30,270
-Take this shit off now.
-You've been talking so much trash today!
969
01:02:30,720 -- 01:02:32,153
You better be good, boy.
970
01:02:32,240 -- 01:02:35,357
''Boy''? You're the good boy.
The man say ''fetch'' and you fetch.
971
01:02:35,440 -- 01:02:36,759
Just doing my job.
972
01:02:36,840 -- 01:02:39,035
White man's using you
to keep the black man down.
973
01:02:39,120 -- 01:02:43,079
This isn't Houston. We run things now.
Our good day has come.
974
01:02:43,160 -- 01:02:45,879
You chumps haven't had a good day
since the Alamo.
975
01:02:53,120 -- 01:02:54,269
Lupe....
976
01:02:55,240 -- 01:02:57,800
Can you get me Ben Wetzel up in Austin?
977
01:03:31,520 -- 01:03:32,953
Wetbacks again.
978
01:03:41,120 -- 01:03:42,473
Border Patrol?
979
01:04:42,000 -- 01:04:42,955
Mom?
980
01:04:43,040 -- 01:04:44,029
Yeah.
981
01:04:44,120 -- 01:04:45,599
You staying out here?
982
01:04:46,000 -- 01:04:47,228
For a while.
983
01:04:50,600 -- 01:04:52,272
What's she singing about?
984
01:04:52,520 -- 01:04:53,873
What do you think?
985
01:06:28,320 -- 01:06:30,117
Hey, 'morning, sir!
986
01:06:30,200 -- 01:06:31,952
Hey, Pete. How's it going?
987
01:06:32,600 -- 01:06:34,192
Time marches on.
988
01:06:34,360 -- 01:06:35,554
How much you got left?
989
01:06:35,640 -- 01:06:37,039
Three months.
990
01:06:38,200 -- 01:06:41,909
Stop growing that locoweed at your place,
you'd see more daylight.
991
01:06:42,000 -- 01:06:44,389
It was for personal consumption.
992
01:06:44,880 -- 01:06:47,633
You going to smoke an acre and a half
of marijuana?
993
01:06:48,400 -- 01:06:51,392
I got a bad stomach. It helps me to digest.
994
01:06:51,480 -- 01:06:53,755
Your father never bothered me about it.
995
01:06:54,120 -- 01:06:58,272
Leastways not till the drug people
got on his case in the late '60s.
996
01:06:58,960 -- 01:07:01,520
I thought he busted you a couple of times.
997
01:07:01,680 -- 01:07:02,635
No.
998
01:07:03,200 -- 01:07:04,519
Different charge.
999
01:07:05,120 -- 01:07:06,473
I had a still.
1000
01:07:06,880 -- 01:07:09,997
Made my own mescal.
That's how come I ruined my stomach.
1001
01:07:10,520 -- 01:07:12,750
I'm surprised he bothered with it.
1002
01:07:12,840 -- 01:07:14,956
He was afraid I'd poison somebody.
1003
01:07:17,000 -- 01:07:19,309
Your father tried to do good for people.
1004
01:07:19,640 -- 01:07:21,392
-So I've heard.
-And your mother...
1005
01:07:21,480 -- 01:07:22,879
...she was a saint.
1006
01:07:23,480 -- 01:07:25,948
Remember that summer I built that patio
at your house?
1007
01:07:26,040 -- 01:07:28,235
She made me lunch every day.
1008
01:07:29,400 -- 01:07:30,833
You were working there.
1009
01:07:30,920 -- 01:07:33,673
It could have been another box lunch
from the jail.
1010
01:07:34,640 -- 01:07:37,837
So you built our patio
while you were on the county?
1011
01:07:38,240 -- 01:07:42,074
Out in the fresh air?
Nice gringo lady making you pies?
1012
01:07:42,240 -- 01:07:44,196
Who'd sit in that jail cell all day?
1013
01:07:46,000 -- 01:07:48,355
Sheriff Buddy, man.
iThere's no one like him./i
1014
01:07:49,360 -- 01:07:51,954
After that icabrn/i, Charlie Wade.
1015
01:07:52,040 -- 01:07:54,508
I heard Wade was a bit tough
on the Mexicans.
1016
01:07:59,080 -- 01:08:02,311
He murdered Eladio Cruz.
Is that tough enough for you?
1017
01:08:04,640 -- 01:08:05,834
Murdered him?
1018
01:08:06,000 -- 01:08:08,719
Chucho Montoya saw it with his own eyes.
1019
01:08:10,280 -- 01:08:11,838
Shot him in cold blood.
1020
01:08:11,920 -- 01:08:13,990
iCharlie Wade was a big asshole./i
1021
01:08:15,400 -- 01:08:16,310
Sam....
1022
01:08:19,120 -- 01:08:20,109
Wait up.
1023
01:08:24,640 -- 01:08:25,834
You're out early.
1024
01:08:27,320 -- 01:08:30,153
Haven't seen much of you at the jail lately.
1025
01:08:30,320 -- 01:08:32,470
Well, I'm working on a few things.
1026
01:08:33,040 -- 01:08:35,429
I'm going over to the other side.
1027
01:08:36,400 -- 01:08:37,628
Republicans?
1028
01:08:37,840 -- 01:08:39,273
No, Mexico.
1029
01:08:40,280 -- 01:08:41,998
Got to talk to someone.
1030
01:08:42,560 -- 01:08:44,232
They got telephones.
1031
01:08:44,400 -- 01:08:45,310
No.
1032
01:08:45,640 -- 01:08:47,312
It's got to be in person.
1033
01:08:54,120 -- 01:08:55,439
The Committee....
1034
01:08:56,000 -- 01:08:58,389
Jorge and Fenton and all, they...
1035
01:08:58,960 -- 01:09:00,279
...they've asked me--
1036
01:09:00,360 -- 01:09:02,715
They want you to stand for sheriff
next election.
1037
01:09:04,280 -- 01:09:05,235
Yeah.
1038
01:09:06,800 -- 01:09:08,233
You'd do a good job.
1039
01:09:09,720 -- 01:09:10,709
Thanks.
1040
01:09:11,960 -- 01:09:13,188
What about you?
1041
01:09:13,800 -- 01:09:15,711
I don't know if I'll still want it.
1042
01:09:19,400 -- 01:09:21,789
I just didn't want to go around your back.
1043
01:09:21,920 -- 01:09:23,638
I appreciate you telling me.
1044
01:09:26,920 -- 01:09:28,433
You think we need a new jail?
1045
01:09:31,880 -- 01:09:33,199
Well, Sam....
1046
01:09:34,280 -- 01:09:36,350
It's a complicated issue.
1047
01:09:38,480 -- 01:09:39,595
Yeah, Ray.
1048
01:09:40,920 -- 01:09:42,911
You'd be a hell of a sheriff.
1049
01:10:34,400 -- 01:10:35,435
Down here...
1050
01:10:35,520 -- 01:10:38,398
...we don't throw everything away
like you gringos do.
1051
01:10:40,440 -- 01:10:41,953
Recycling, right?
1052
01:10:43,640 -- 01:10:45,153
We invented that.
1053
01:10:45,920 -- 01:10:48,673
The government doesn't have
to tell people to do it.
1054
01:10:51,080 -- 01:10:52,957
You own this place, huh?
1055
01:10:54,760 -- 01:10:56,079
This place...
1056
01:10:56,360 -- 01:10:58,271
...the one across the street...
1057
01:10:59,160 -- 01:11:01,628
...three or four others in Ciudad Len.
1058
01:11:06,080 -- 01:11:07,638
''King of the Tires.''
1059
01:11:09,640 -- 01:11:13,394
A lot of your people rolling over that bridge
on my rubber.
1060
01:11:13,840 -- 01:11:15,956
You lived in the States for a while?
1061
01:11:16,840 -- 01:11:17,795
Fifteen years.
1062
01:11:18,560 -- 01:11:20,312
Made some money, came back here?
1063
01:11:22,120 -- 01:11:23,394
Something like that.
1064
01:11:24,400 -- 01:11:27,836
Hey, you ever know
a fella named Eladio Cruz?
1065
01:11:30,760 -- 01:11:33,149
You're the sheriff of Rio County, right?
1066
01:11:47,200 -- 01:11:48,758
Step across this line.
1067
01:11:55,880 -- 01:11:58,394
You're not the sheriff of nothing anymore.
1068
01:11:59,360 -- 01:12:03,478
Just some itejano/i with a lot of questions
I don't have to answer.
1069
01:12:04,480 -- 01:12:05,993
A bird flying south...
1070
01:12:06,840 -- 01:12:08,751
...you think he sees this line?
1071
01:12:09,440 -- 01:12:11,510
Rattlesnake,ijabalina/i...
1072
01:12:12,480 -- 01:12:13,913
...whatever you got.
1073
01:12:14,840 -- 01:12:18,355
You think halfway across that line
they start thinking different?
1074
01:12:18,920 -- 01:12:20,478
Why should a man?
1075
01:12:21,480 -- 01:12:24,392
Your government's been pretty happy
to have that line.
1076
01:12:25,280 -- 01:12:27,669
The question's just been where to draw it.
1077
01:12:32,760 -- 01:12:35,593
My government can go fuck itself
and so can yours.
1078
01:12:37,520 -- 01:12:39,590
I'm talking about people here.
1079
01:12:39,760 -- 01:12:40,749
Men.
1080
01:12:47,000 -- 01:12:48,319
Eladio Cruz...
1081
01:12:49,160 -- 01:12:52,675
...is giving his friends a lift one day
in his icamin/i.
1082
01:12:52,920 -- 01:12:56,356
iBut since they're on one side/i
iof this invisible line and not the other.../i
1083
01:12:56,440 -- 01:12:59,159
i...they got to hide/i
iin the back/i como criminales.
1084
01:12:59,400 -- 01:13:03,075
iAnd because over there/i
ihe's just another Mex/i bracero...
1085
01:13:03,280 -- 01:13:05,396
i...any man with a badge is his/i jefe.
1086
01:14:13,640 -- 01:14:14,914
What's in the back?
1087
01:14:15,000 -- 01:14:17,514
Not much,ijefe/i. Some watermelons.
1088
01:14:18,040 -- 01:14:19,996
I'm driving them up to the market.
1089
01:14:20,080 -- 01:14:21,957
They could bring a good price.
1090
01:14:25,280 -- 01:14:28,158
I heard somebody's been hauling wets
on this road.
1091
01:14:29,560 -- 01:14:31,710
I haven't seen anybody doing that.
1092
01:14:33,240 -- 01:14:35,595
That person's been bragging
all over the county...
1093
01:14:35,680 -- 01:14:38,956
...how he doesn't have to cut
that gringo sheriff in on it.
1094
01:14:39,080 -- 01:14:41,355
Run his own operation without any help.
1095
01:14:42,840 -- 01:14:44,114
iWhat's your name?/i
1096
01:14:44,760 -- 01:14:45,988
Eladio Cruz.
1097
01:14:47,920 -- 01:14:50,753
You know this road's got a bad reputation.
1098
01:14:51,360 -- 01:14:52,554
Reputation?
1099
01:14:52,720 -- 01:14:54,312
iBandidos/i, Injuns.
1100
01:14:55,600 -- 01:14:59,195
Many an unfortunate soul
has been ambushed out on this stretch.
1101
01:14:59,280 -- 01:15:01,510
I hope you're carrying some protection.
1102
01:15:01,720 -- 01:15:02,948
Protection?
1103
01:15:04,120 -- 01:15:06,156
You carrying a firearm, son?
1104
01:15:06,600 -- 01:15:07,953
Don't lie to me now.
1105
01:15:11,000 -- 01:15:12,069
Just a shotgun.
1106
01:15:13,040 -- 01:15:14,234
Just a shotgun.
1107
01:15:14,920 -- 01:15:16,876
Then let me have a look at that.
1108
01:15:29,840 -- 01:15:33,116
Little greaser son of a bitch is running
a goddamn bus service.
1109
01:15:33,200 -- 01:15:35,714
Thinks he can make a fool
out of Charlie Wade.
1110
01:15:36,080 -- 01:15:38,036
Get them wets out of the back.
1111
01:15:38,120 -- 01:15:39,519
See what we've got.
1112
01:15:43,880 -- 01:15:45,313
You killed him!
1113
01:15:46,000 -- 01:15:48,594
You got a talent
for stating the obvious, son.
1114
01:16:18,280 -- 01:16:19,429
Steve called for you.
1115
01:16:19,520 -- 01:16:20,475
Steve?
1116
01:16:20,760 -- 01:16:24,435
Steve. Board of Education Steve,
who likes you.
1117
01:16:25,160 -- 01:16:28,630
He goes for us hot-blooded Mexican girls,
I can tell.
1118
01:16:28,880 -- 01:16:31,440
Spanish. My mother would have
a heart attack.
1119
01:16:31,720 -- 01:16:33,597
Your mother's family is Spanish?
1120
01:16:33,680 -- 01:16:35,398
They go back to Corts.
1121
01:16:35,480 -- 01:16:39,632
When he was riding by they were squatting
in a hut cooking hamsters for dinner.
1122
01:16:39,920 -- 01:16:43,390
You've got to be interested in somebody.
All you do is work.
1123
01:16:43,720 -- 01:16:46,632
All my mother does is work.
It's how you get to be Spanish.
1124
01:16:46,720 -- 01:16:48,358
How about this sheriff?
1125
01:16:48,760 -- 01:16:49,795
Sheriff?
1126
01:16:49,920 -- 01:16:52,115
The old high-school heartthrob sheriff?
1127
01:16:52,200 -- 01:16:54,316
I thought you were crazy about each other.
1128
01:16:54,400 -- 01:16:56,630
He's available. You're available.
1129
01:16:57,520 -- 01:16:59,909
I'm unmarried. I'm not available.
1130
01:17:00,080 -- 01:17:02,640
You told me one time it was true love.
1131
01:17:05,840 -- 01:17:08,274
Nobody stays in love for 23 years.
1132
01:17:44,280 -- 01:17:45,235
Let's go.
1133
01:17:47,120 -- 01:17:48,189
Goddamn it.
1134
01:17:49,600 -- 01:17:50,828
Come here. Come on.
1135
01:17:50,920 -- 01:17:54,151
-What the hell are you doing, asshole?
-How old is that girl?
1136
01:17:55,160 -- 01:17:57,196
Get your clothes in order, missy.
1137
01:17:57,280 -- 01:17:58,759
Where's your goddamn sense?
1138
01:17:58,840 -- 01:18:01,354
You got no fucking right!
Stay out of my life!
1139
01:18:02,360 -- 01:18:03,873
Give me the goddamn car keys.
1140
01:18:03,960 -- 01:18:05,313
What should I do with her?
1141
01:18:05,400 -- 01:18:08,119
Drive her home. Tell her mother
where we found her.
1142
01:18:08,320 -- 01:18:10,629
-Leave her alone!
-Move it, boy!
1143
01:18:14,000 -- 01:18:16,230
Don't tell my mother. She'll kill me.
1144
01:18:16,320 -- 01:18:17,275
Pilar!
1145
01:18:17,600 -- 01:18:18,953
Don't eye me.
1146
01:18:19,040 -- 01:18:20,075
Git!
1147
01:21:08,720 -- 01:21:09,869
Follow me.
1148
01:21:35,240 -- 01:21:37,959
We thought we were something, didn't we?
1149
01:21:41,000 -- 01:21:41,989
Yeah.
1150
01:21:45,040 -- 01:21:47,554
And I look at my kids in school...
1151
01:21:48,440 -- 01:21:50,510
...10th, 1 1th-graders.
1152
01:21:52,040 -- 01:21:54,190
That's who we were. Children.
1153
01:21:58,800 -- 01:22:01,075
I mean, what did we know about anything?
1154
01:22:05,640 -- 01:22:06,675
Nothing.
1155
01:22:10,320 -- 01:22:12,038
When Nando died...
1156
01:22:14,160 -- 01:22:15,752
...it was so sudden...
1157
01:22:17,920 -- 01:22:20,388
...I kind of went into shock for a while...
1158
01:22:21,920 -- 01:22:24,229
...and then I woke up and...
1159
01:22:25,040 -- 01:22:29,511
...there was the rest of my life
and I had no idea what to do with it.
1160
01:22:37,200 -- 01:22:39,589
You know, the other day you asked...
1161
01:22:41,000 -- 01:22:42,638
...why I came back.
1162
01:22:43,360 -- 01:22:44,315
Yeah?
1163
01:22:47,280 -- 01:22:49,350
I came back 'cause you were here.
1164
01:23:10,560 -- 01:23:13,677
My mother hasn't changed a song
since I was 10.
1165
01:25:44,320 -- 01:25:46,390
How come it feels the same?
1166
01:25:48,680 -- 01:25:50,079
I don't know.
1167
01:25:51,040 -- 01:25:52,632
It just feels good.
1168
01:25:55,160 -- 01:25:56,434
Always did.
1169
01:26:04,120 -- 01:26:05,075
So....
1170
01:26:08,760 -- 01:26:11,194
What are we going to do about this?
1171
01:26:15,720 -- 01:26:16,709
More...
1172
01:26:17,840 -- 01:26:18,989
...I hope.
1173
01:26:47,360 -- 01:26:49,396
How long have you lived here?
1174
01:26:57,400 -- 01:26:58,549
Two years.
1175
01:26:59,480 -- 01:27:01,710
There's nothing on the walls.
1176
01:27:02,320 -- 01:27:03,639
No pictures.
1177
01:27:05,280 -- 01:27:06,633
I don't have kids.
1178
01:27:10,840 -- 01:27:12,353
Other pictures....
1179
01:27:14,040 -- 01:27:16,873
I don't know. It's nothing I want
to look back on.
1180
01:27:18,040 -- 01:27:19,837
Like your story's over.
1181
01:27:22,200 -- 01:27:23,952
I've felt that way...
1182
01:27:24,760 -- 01:27:25,556
...yeah.
1183
01:27:27,200 -- 01:27:28,269
It isn't.
1184
01:27:31,160 -- 01:27:32,275
Not by a long shot.
1185
01:27:36,760 -- 01:27:37,988
Pilar....
1186
01:27:42,480 -- 01:27:44,391
What was your father's name?
1187
01:27:45,360 -- 01:27:46,349
Eladio.
1188
01:27:47,320 -- 01:27:48,594
Eladio Cruz.
1189
01:28:37,080 -- 01:28:38,513
That's John Horse.
1190
01:28:39,600 -- 01:28:41,909
The Spanish down in Florida call him...
1191
01:28:42,080 -- 01:28:43,433
...''Juan Caballo.''
1192
01:28:44,880 -- 01:28:46,074
John Horse.
1193
01:28:47,000 -- 01:28:48,638
He a black man or an Indian?
1194
01:28:48,720 -- 01:28:49,709
Both.
1195
01:28:50,640 -- 01:28:52,471
He was part of the Seminole nation.
1196
01:28:52,560 -- 01:28:56,075
Got pushed down into the Florida
Everglades back in pioneer days.
1197
01:28:56,840 -- 01:28:59,673
African people run off from slaveholders...
1198
01:29:00,040 -- 01:29:01,553
...hooked up with them...
1199
01:29:01,640 -- 01:29:03,710
...married up, had children.
1200
01:29:04,920 -- 01:29:07,559
When the Spanish gave up Florida...
1201
01:29:07,640 -- 01:29:11,076
...the U.S. Army come down
to move all the Indian people to Oklahoma.
1202
01:29:11,280 -- 01:29:12,713
A couple of them held out.
1203
01:29:13,080 -- 01:29:15,150
That man, John Horse...
1204
01:29:15,240 -- 01:29:17,629
...his friend, Wildcat, another fella named...
1205
01:29:17,720 -- 01:29:18,994
...Osceola...
1206
01:29:19,200 -- 01:29:20,792
...formed a fighting band...
1207
01:29:20,880 -- 01:29:23,713
...held out for another 10, 15 years...
1208
01:29:24,160 -- 01:29:27,914
...and beat zach Taylor and 1,000 troops
at Lake Okeechobee.
1209
01:29:29,760 -- 01:29:31,318
So they stayed in Florida?
1210
01:29:31,400 -- 01:29:34,312
One night they packed up,
rode out to Mexico.
1211
01:29:35,400 -- 01:29:38,472
Men went to work
for General Santa Anna down there.
1212
01:29:40,000 -- 01:29:44,198
After the Civil War they came north
to Texas, put up at Fort Duncan...
1213
01:29:44,520 -- 01:29:48,752
...and the men joined what was called
the Seminole Negro Indian Scouts.
1214
01:29:49,000 -- 01:29:50,115
The best trackers...
1215
01:29:50,200 -- 01:29:53,829
...on either side of the border.
They chased after bandits...
1216
01:29:54,440 -- 01:29:57,910
...rustlers, Texas rednecks,
Kiowas, Comanches....
1217
01:29:58,480 -- 01:30:00,596
They fought against the Indians?
1218
01:30:00,680 -- 01:30:02,193
Just like they did in Mexico.
1219
01:30:02,280 -- 01:30:03,998
But they were Indians themselves.
1220
01:30:04,880 -- 01:30:06,552
They were in the Army...
1221
01:30:06,800 -- 01:30:08,233
...like your father.
1222
01:30:11,200 -- 01:30:12,792
You know who I am?
1223
01:30:14,720 -- 01:30:16,551
I got a pretty good guess.
1224
01:30:17,480 -- 01:30:18,708
That guy who got shot.
1225
01:30:19,840 -- 01:30:22,434
You didn't go telling your father
you were here?
1226
01:30:22,600 -- 01:30:23,874
Are you kidding?
1227
01:30:24,360 -- 01:30:26,112
And face a court-martial?
1228
01:30:28,600 -- 01:30:29,794
Pretty tough old man.
1229
01:30:30,360 -- 01:30:32,112
Every time he moves up a rank...
1230
01:30:32,200 -- 01:30:35,078
...he tightens the screws a little more.
Just 'cause....
1231
01:30:36,240 -- 01:30:37,992
You know, he didn't have....
1232
01:30:40,040 -- 01:30:41,598
Didn't have a father.
1233
01:30:43,200 -- 01:30:45,111
He's still pissed off about it.
1234
01:30:47,240 -- 01:30:48,912
When you're his age...
1235
01:30:50,280 -- 01:30:52,840
...you'll still be pissed off about him.
1236
01:30:56,880 -- 01:30:58,598
How come you got into this?
1237
01:31:01,440 -- 01:31:03,112
These are our people.
1238
01:31:03,720 -- 01:31:07,429
There are Paynes in Florida,
Oklahoma, Piedras Negras--
1239
01:31:08,240 -- 01:31:09,468
So I'm part Indian?
1240
01:31:09,960 -- 01:31:11,552
By blood you are.
1241
01:31:12,960 -- 01:31:14,791
But blood only means what you let it.
1242
01:31:15,440 -- 01:31:19,274
My father says from the day you're born
you start from scratch.
1243
01:31:20,200 -- 01:31:21,030
No breaks.
1244
01:31:21,120 -- 01:31:22,189
No excuses.
1245
01:31:24,200 -- 01:31:26,350
You got to pull yourself up on your own.
1246
01:31:27,280 -- 01:31:29,510
He's living proof of that, son.
1247
01:31:31,600 -- 01:31:33,033
Living proof.
1248
01:31:40,880 -- 01:31:42,313
'Morning, Hollis.
1249
01:31:42,480 -- 01:31:43,469
Sam!
1250
01:31:43,560 -- 01:31:44,788
Sit down.
1251
01:31:46,040 -- 01:31:47,951
Big to-do the other day.
1252
01:31:49,240 -- 01:31:51,515
Meant a lot to folks you said something.
1253
01:31:52,320 -- 01:31:54,276
You thought anymore about our murder?
1254
01:31:56,080 -- 01:31:59,789
I wish I could tell you I remembered
something new, but I can't.
1255
01:32:03,040 -- 01:32:05,270
Well, I got an idea what happened.
1256
01:32:05,640 -- 01:32:06,629
You do?
1257
01:32:09,120 -- 01:32:13,079
I think somewhere between
Roderick Bledsoe's club and his house...
1258
01:32:13,160 -- 01:32:15,230
...Wade ran into Buddy Deeds.
1259
01:32:16,160 -- 01:32:18,230
I think Buddy put a bullet in him.
1260
01:32:18,560 -- 01:32:21,916
Waited for him to die,
threw him in the trunk of the sheriff's car...
1261
01:32:22,000 -- 01:32:24,355
...and drove him out by Fort McKenzie.
1262
01:32:25,800 -- 01:32:29,634
I think he buried him under four feet
of sand and never looked back.
1263
01:32:34,120 -- 01:32:36,315
You lived in the man's house, how long?
1264
01:32:37,280 -- 01:32:39,032
17, 18 years...
1265
01:32:40,320 -- 01:32:43,278
...but didn't get to know him
any better than that.
1266
01:32:44,240 -- 01:32:47,073
I got to go see somebody
up in San Antonio.
1267
01:32:49,240 -- 01:32:51,470
Now, your memory gets any better...
1268
01:32:51,680 -- 01:32:53,591
...I'll be back tonight.
1269
01:33:07,080 -- 01:33:08,718
She finally got up.
1270
01:33:10,040 -- 01:33:11,393
It's Saturday.
1271
01:33:11,880 -- 01:33:13,598
You got in late last night.
1272
01:33:14,000 -- 01:33:15,353
I had some...
1273
01:33:16,240 -- 01:33:18,037
...some school business.
1274
01:33:20,520 -- 01:33:21,714
Could I get this?
1275
01:33:23,400 -- 01:33:24,435
Paloma.
1276
01:33:24,800 -- 01:33:26,836
Nobody really wears that stuff.
1277
01:33:27,200 -- 01:33:30,237
Just 'cause you went to Catholic school
and wore a uniform.
1278
01:33:30,320 -- 01:33:32,550
I only went for my last two years.
1279
01:33:33,000 -- 01:33:34,274
How come?
1280
01:33:36,400 -- 01:33:38,914
My mother wanted
to keep me away from...
1281
01:33:41,560 -- 01:33:42,754
...from boys.
1282
01:33:43,640 -- 01:33:44,914
Did it work?
1283
01:33:48,600 -- 01:33:51,672
Longhorns go for 10 times the price.
1284
01:33:53,080 -- 01:33:55,719
But longhorns are hard
to come by these days.
1285
01:33:56,720 -- 01:33:58,119
Sell much out here?
1286
01:33:58,680 -- 01:34:01,513
How am I going to sell things?
Nobody comes around.
1287
01:34:01,840 -- 01:34:03,512
This stretch of road...
1288
01:34:03,600 -- 01:34:05,795
...runs between Nowhere and...
1289
01:34:06,440 -- 01:34:07,919
...Not Much Else.
1290
01:34:08,680 -- 01:34:10,750
A hell of a spot to put a business.
1291
01:34:11,440 -- 01:34:13,556
Don't see much competition, do you?
1292
01:34:14,720 -- 01:34:17,075
Used to sell these things like hotcakes.
1293
01:34:17,160 -- 01:34:18,275
Now...
1294
01:34:18,680 -- 01:34:21,877
...if it can't play those disks,
they won't look at it.
1295
01:34:23,160 -- 01:34:24,593
I like it here.
1296
01:34:25,520 -- 01:34:28,159
Once I tried going
onto the reservation to live.
1297
01:34:28,240 -- 01:34:29,958
Couldn't take the politics.
1298
01:34:30,040 -- 01:34:32,759
Damn Indians will drive you crazy
with that.
1299
01:34:35,680 -- 01:34:38,911
Now, your father,
this wasn't what he had in mind.
1300
01:34:40,200 -- 01:34:41,792
He come out of Korea...
1301
01:34:41,920 -- 01:34:44,639
...bought a Chevy with too much engine.
1302
01:34:45,080 -- 01:34:49,676
Used to come roaring up and down
this road all hours of the day and night...
1303
01:34:49,920 -- 01:34:51,911
...looking for somebody to race.
1304
01:34:57,200 -- 01:34:58,155
Here.
1305
01:34:59,440 -- 01:35:00,998
Buffalo chips.
1306
01:35:01,520 -- 01:35:03,238
A fella down in Santa Fe told me...
1307
01:35:03,320 -- 01:35:06,915
...he sells these as fast
as a buffalo can squeeze them out.
1308
01:35:12,640 -- 01:35:15,200
You think he killed anybody in Korea?
1309
01:35:16,400 -- 01:35:20,075
They don't hand those medals out
for hiding in your foxhole.
1310
01:35:22,840 -- 01:35:24,239
Would you buy this?
1311
01:35:26,480 -- 01:35:27,390
No.
1312
01:35:28,640 -- 01:35:30,471
Yeah, neither would I.
1313
01:35:32,240 -- 01:35:34,834
If he hadn't found the deputy's job...
1314
01:35:35,920 -- 01:35:40,277
...I believe Buddy might've gone down
the other path, got into serious trouble.
1315
01:35:40,760 -- 01:35:42,478
It settled him right down.
1316
01:35:42,560 -- 01:35:44,232
That and your mother.
1317
01:35:48,240 -- 01:35:50,515
Of course, he had that other one later.
1318
01:35:59,760 -- 01:36:01,273
He had another woman?
1319
01:36:03,080 -- 01:36:06,834
Your mother was not one
to be chased off her patch.
1320
01:36:07,480 -- 01:36:09,869
Half the damn county knew about it.
1321
01:36:10,680 -- 01:36:13,911
Nobody thought the worse of her
for seeing it through.
1322
01:36:14,000 -- 01:36:15,558
You know who it was?
1323
01:36:16,280 -- 01:36:17,554
The other one?
1324
01:36:18,280 -- 01:36:19,110
At my age...
1325
01:36:19,600 -- 01:36:20,953
...you learn a new name...
1326
01:36:21,040 -- 01:36:22,951
...you got to forget an old one.
1327
01:36:23,440 -- 01:36:24,395
Here.
1328
01:36:26,560 -- 01:36:30,109
This big fella was sleeping
in a crate at Cisco's junkyard.
1329
01:36:30,600 -- 01:36:33,637
When I was going to open
to see what was in her...
1330
01:36:33,920 -- 01:36:35,990
...jumped right at my face.
1331
01:36:37,000 -- 01:36:40,276
Scared me so bad I had to kill him
without thinking.
1332
01:36:40,760 -- 01:36:44,389
Be careful where you go poking.
Who knows what you'll find.
1333
01:37:21,800 -- 01:37:23,313
Private Johnson...
1334
01:37:25,920 -- 01:37:28,036
...are you unhappy...
1335
01:37:28,880 -- 01:37:29,949
...in the Army?
1336
01:37:30,160 -- 01:37:31,229
No, sir.
1337
01:37:32,680 -- 01:37:34,716
Then how would you explain...
1338
01:37:34,920 -- 01:37:37,036
...that out of 120 people...
1339
01:37:37,160 -- 01:37:38,991
...you were the only one...
1340
01:37:39,080 -- 01:37:41,275
...who tested positive for drugs?
1341
01:37:41,360 -- 01:37:42,839
I'm sorry, sir.
1342
01:37:45,080 -- 01:37:47,799
When you were given
the opportunity to enlist...
1343
01:37:48,240 -- 01:37:51,357
...a kind of contract was agreed upon.
1344
01:37:51,440 -- 01:37:54,159
I think the Army has honored its part...
1345
01:37:54,280 -- 01:37:55,474
...of that agreement.
1346
01:37:55,560 -- 01:37:56,515
Yes, sir.
1347
01:37:56,640 -- 01:37:59,200
Do you believe in
what we do in here, Private?
1348
01:37:59,800 -- 01:38:01,597
I can do the job, sir.
1349
01:38:08,360 -- 01:38:11,716
What exactly do you think your job is?
1350
01:38:13,840 -- 01:38:16,149
Follow orders, do whatever they say.
1351
01:38:16,360 -- 01:38:17,509
Who's ''they''?
1352
01:38:18,600 -- 01:38:20,079
The officers.
1353
01:38:20,160 -- 01:38:21,639
And that's the job?
1354
01:38:22,440 -- 01:38:24,715
Nothing about serving your country?
1355
01:38:27,560 -- 01:38:30,199
These are not trick questions,
Private Johnson.
1356
01:38:30,600 -- 01:38:31,999
You'll get an Article 15...
1357
01:38:32,080 -- 01:38:35,152
...and we'll go through the process
one way or another.
1358
01:38:35,760 -- 01:38:38,069
I'm just trying to understand...
1359
01:38:39,400 -- 01:38:41,630
...how someone like you thinks.
1360
01:38:42,760 -- 01:38:44,478
You really want to know?
1361
01:38:44,640 -- 01:38:45,595
Please.
1362
01:38:48,000 -- 01:38:51,834
It's their country. This is one
of the best deals they offer.
1363
01:38:54,240 -- 01:38:56,470
How do you think I got to be a colonel?
1364
01:38:56,840 -- 01:38:59,308
Being good at your job.
Doing what they tell you.
1365
01:38:59,400 -- 01:39:00,753
Do what they tell you?
1366
01:39:00,840 -- 01:39:02,796
I mean, follow orders, sir.
1367
01:39:07,080 -- 01:39:09,310
With your attitude, Private...
1368
01:39:10,120 -- 01:39:12,475
...I'm surprised you want to stay
in the service.
1369
01:39:13,000 -- 01:39:14,149
I do, sir.
1370
01:39:14,880 -- 01:39:16,154
Because it's a job?
1371
01:39:18,400 -- 01:39:20,789
Outside it's such a mess. It's....
1372
01:39:25,360 -- 01:39:26,270
Chaos.
1373
01:39:29,480 -- 01:39:30,879
Why do you think...
1374
01:39:32,840 -- 01:39:35,070
...they let us in on the deal?
1375
01:39:38,560 -- 01:39:43,031
'Cause they got people to fight:
Arabs, yellow people, whatever.
1376
01:39:43,120 -- 01:39:44,838
Might as well use us.
1377
01:39:52,160 -- 01:39:54,071
It works like this, Private.
1378
01:39:54,880 -- 01:39:58,190
Every soldier in the war
doesn't have to believe...
1379
01:39:58,640 -- 01:40:00,471
...in what he's fighting for.
1380
01:40:01,240 -- 01:40:05,518
Most of them fight just to back up
the other soldiers in their squad.
1381
01:40:06,720 -- 01:40:08,631
You try not to get them killed.
1382
01:40:08,720 -- 01:40:11,029
You try not to get them extra duty.
1383
01:40:11,360 -- 01:40:13,715
You try not embarrass yourself...
1384
01:40:14,480 -- 01:40:15,913
...in front of them.
1385
01:40:29,400 -- 01:40:31,311
Why don't you start with that?
1386
01:40:32,280 -- 01:40:33,315
Yes, sir.
1387
01:40:37,480 -- 01:40:38,595
Dismissed.
1388
01:40:40,360 -- 01:40:41,759
Thank you, sir.
1389
01:41:16,560 -- 01:41:20,792
iThis time, Fred Zenito for Pager/i
iand the Aggies jump to a 1 4-point lead./i
1390
01:41:20,920 -- 01:41:23,150
iSooners back to punt on their own 27./i
1391
01:41:24,480 -- 01:41:28,917
Longhorns are going to kick some serious
butt this Saturday. You just watch.
1392
01:41:29,240 -- 01:41:33,153
We got a kid, a tailback from
down your way, out of El Indio--
1393
01:41:33,680 -- 01:41:35,159
That's in Maverick County.
1394
01:41:35,720 -- 01:41:37,153
Right, and you're in?
1395
01:41:37,240 -- 01:41:38,229
In Rio.
1396
01:41:38,480 -- 01:41:40,232
This kid, Hosea Brown...
1397
01:41:40,320 -- 01:41:41,753
...he does the 40 in 3.4.
1398
01:41:41,840 -- 01:41:44,479
Soft hands, lateral movement,
the whole package.
1399
01:41:44,560 -- 01:41:47,028
-Only a sophomore.
-Still go to all the home games?
1400
01:41:47,120 -- 01:41:50,954
Daddy's got his box in the stadium
and I'll fly to the Cowboy away games.
1401
01:41:51,400 -- 01:41:53,755
And Friday nights there's high school.
1402
01:41:53,840 -- 01:41:57,355
Churchill's got this boy, 6 foot 6,
310, moves like a cat.
1403
01:41:57,520 -- 01:42:00,910
High school, we're talking.
Guess how much he can bench-press?
1404
01:42:01,360 -- 01:42:02,634
Bunny, you....
1405
01:42:03,240 -- 01:42:04,958
You on that same medication?
1406
01:42:05,200 -- 01:42:06,952
-Why, do I seem jumpy?
-No.
1407
01:42:07,280 -- 01:42:09,430
You look good. I was just wondering.
1408
01:42:09,880 -- 01:42:13,429
Last year was awful with Mama passing on
and this business with O.J.
1409
01:42:13,520 -- 01:42:15,351
It's not Don Meredith or...
1410
01:42:15,440 -- 01:42:18,398
...one of our boys,
but it kind of threw me for a loop.
1411
01:42:18,640 -- 01:42:19,868
You look good.
1412
01:42:20,400 -- 01:42:22,914
Then that squeaker,
the Aggies dropped to Oklahoma.
1413
01:42:23,000 -- 01:42:26,959
That son of a bitch stepped in some
lucky shit before he kicked that goal.
1414
01:42:27,320 -- 01:42:30,949
If they hadn't pulled me off that woman,
I'd have jerked a knot in her.
1415
01:42:32,560 -- 01:42:34,039
Were you in a fight?
1416
01:42:35,000 -- 01:42:37,195
Daddy calls it an altercation.
1417
01:42:37,960 -- 01:42:40,155
How you doing, Sam? You look skinny.
1418
01:42:40,760 -- 01:42:43,274
No, I'm the same weight I always was.
1419
01:42:44,600 -- 01:42:47,592
Daddy hired a pinhead to take your job.
Says so himself:
1420
01:42:47,800 -- 01:42:50,872
''Even my son-in-law was better
than this pinhead I got now.''
1421
01:42:50,960 -- 01:42:52,029
Bunny....
1422
01:42:54,280 -- 01:42:56,748
That stuff I left in the garage still there?
1423
01:42:58,200 -- 01:43:01,749
Least he never called me that.
With me it was always ''high-strung.''
1424
01:43:01,840 -- 01:43:05,310
''Bunny would've done something
with her life if she wasn't so high-strung.''
1425
01:43:05,400 -- 01:43:06,958
Or ''tightly wound.''
1426
01:43:07,560 -- 01:43:09,994
You haven't had one of your fires,
have you?
1427
01:43:11,120 -- 01:43:14,829
The stuff I left in the garage,
some of it was my father's.
1428
01:43:15,600 -- 01:43:17,477
Did you watch the draft this year?
1429
01:43:19,000 -- 01:43:22,151
Of course not. Idiot question.
They try to make it dramatic...
1430
01:43:22,240 -- 01:43:25,038
...like it's a surprise who picks who
in the first round...
1431
01:43:25,120 -- 01:43:29,272
...but they went over it for months
with their experts, computers...
1432
01:43:29,480 -- 01:43:32,358
...doctor's reports, coach's evaluations...
1433
01:43:32,520 -- 01:43:35,796
...highlight reels, psychological profiles....
1434
01:43:36,520 -- 01:43:41,150
I wouldn't be surprised if they collected
stool samples on them, had them analyzed.
1435
01:43:41,320 -- 01:43:42,673
All that to pick...
1436
01:43:42,760 -- 01:43:44,876
...a football player for your squad.
1437
01:43:45,760 -- 01:43:49,878
Compared to that, what you know about
a person when you get married to them...
1438
01:43:49,960 -- 01:43:52,315
...doesn't amount to diddly, does it?
1439
01:43:55,040 -- 01:43:56,678
No, I suppose not.
1440
01:43:57,160 -- 01:44:00,630
You kind of bought yourself
a pig in a poke, didn't you?
1441
01:44:01,640 -- 01:44:06,350
The whole time we were seeing each other,
you didn't know that I was tightly wound.
1442
01:44:06,720 -- 01:44:08,631
It wasn't just you, Bunny.
1443
01:44:09,640 -- 01:44:11,392
No, it wasn't, was it?
1444
01:44:12,720 -- 01:44:16,156
You didn't exactly throw yourself
into it heart and soul.
1445
01:44:19,080 -- 01:44:22,516
Your shit's still in the garage,
if that's what you came for.
1446
01:44:34,280 -- 01:44:36,191
Three hundred and fifty pounds.
1447
01:44:40,000 -- 01:44:43,709
That boy Churchill's got.
He plays tackle both ways.
1448
01:44:46,120 -- 01:44:48,270
Bench-presses 350 pounds.
1449
01:44:51,040 -- 01:44:53,838
Imagine having that much weight on you,
pressing down.
1450
01:44:53,920 -- 01:44:56,480
Be hard to breathe, hard to swallow.
1451
01:44:57,800 -- 01:45:01,554
I think they have another fella there
to keep it off your chest.
1452
01:45:03,520 -- 01:45:04,635
A spotter.
1453
01:45:05,680 -- 01:45:09,036
''I only got my little girl now,'' he says.
1454
01:45:09,240 -- 01:45:10,878
''She's my lifeline.''
1455
01:45:12,680 -- 01:45:16,468
Then he says I can't sit in the box anymore
if I don't control myself.
1456
01:45:16,960 -- 01:45:17,949
Son of a bitch!
1457
01:45:18,040 -- 01:45:20,998
He doesn't even watch the games,
just sits there drinking.
1458
01:45:21,080 -- 01:45:22,672
Looks up at the TV now and then.
1459
01:45:22,760 -- 01:45:26,309
I'd be better off in the cheap seats
with some real football people.
1460
01:45:27,160 -- 01:45:28,752
You look good, Bunny.
1461
01:45:30,120 -- 01:45:31,838
It was nice to see you.
1462
01:45:34,400 -- 01:45:35,355
Thanks.
1463
01:45:37,160 -- 01:45:39,549
I like it when you say that, Sam.
1464
01:46:03,880 -- 01:46:05,393
''Dearest Buddy.''
1465
01:46:15,960 -- 01:46:17,598
Hey, it's the general.
1466
01:46:19,240 -- 01:46:21,435
Colonel. Is Otis in?
1467
01:46:21,600 -- 01:46:23,192
-Come on in.
-If it's too late--
1468
01:46:23,280 -- 01:46:24,474
Come on in.
1469
01:46:32,760 -- 01:46:36,912
Otis is sitting up with some people
at the club. I don't think he'll be long.
1470
01:46:44,720 -- 01:46:47,678
His hot sauce recipe
won a contest last year.
1471
01:46:48,080 -- 01:46:49,752
They're selling it as far away...
1472
01:46:49,840 -- 01:46:51,159
...as San Antonio.
1473
01:46:52,120 -- 01:46:54,554
You've been in this house for a while?
1474
01:46:55,280 -- 01:46:59,478
I've been here with him eight years.
He built it when he was with Leora.
1475
01:47:00,400 -- 01:47:01,719
Never met her.
1476
01:47:02,520 -- 01:47:04,750
There's a bunch of them you never met.
1477
01:47:04,920 -- 01:47:06,512
Well, me neither.
1478
01:47:08,280 -- 01:47:10,510
Let me show you around.
1479
01:47:25,040 -- 01:47:28,271
He got into this cowboys-and-Indians stuff
a while back.
1480
01:47:28,560 -- 01:47:30,039
Spent half his time poking...
1481
01:47:30,120 -- 01:47:32,429
...around the library, way up to Austin.
1482
01:47:52,400 -- 01:47:54,356
Kind of like a shrine, isn't it?
1483
01:47:56,440 -- 01:47:58,396
Where did he get all this stuff?
1484
01:47:58,560 -- 01:48:00,437
Your mother's got a brother, Alphonse.
1485
01:48:01,280 -- 01:48:02,110
Uncle Al.
1486
01:48:02,200 -- 01:48:05,875
Otis stood on good terms with him.
Whenever you make the news...
1487
01:48:06,000 -- 01:48:07,319
...he sends it on.
1488
01:48:07,960 -- 01:48:09,837
When they made you general...
1489
01:48:10,040 -- 01:48:12,713
...Otis almost drove away
our customers going on about it.
1490
01:48:12,800 -- 01:48:14,074
I'm a colonel.
1491
01:48:14,640 -- 01:48:15,595
I know.
1492
01:48:16,240 -- 01:48:18,993
The man made me memorize
the whole Army chain of command...
1493
01:48:19,080 -- 01:48:20,718
...before he'd marry me.
1494
01:48:24,680 -- 01:48:27,319
My mother said that
he never asked about me.
1495
01:48:28,680 -- 01:48:30,272
He never asked her.
1496
01:48:40,480 -- 01:48:41,993
Tell him I stopped by?
1497
01:48:42,600 -- 01:48:43,635
Thanks.
1498
01:48:47,960 -- 01:48:49,188
Catch you later...
1499
01:48:50,960 -- 01:48:52,075
...Colonel.
1500
01:49:23,520 -- 01:49:25,112
iSeora Cruz./i
1501
01:49:27,480 -- 01:49:28,549
Who is it?
1502
01:49:32,120 -- 01:49:34,998
What are you doing out here?
Are you crazy?
1503
01:49:39,200 -- 01:49:41,760
In English. We're in the United States.
1504
01:49:42,000 -- 01:49:45,595
I have some friends
and they have had an accident.
1505
01:49:46,840 -- 01:49:49,229
-You have somebody else out there?
-We was...
1506
01:49:49,320 -- 01:49:52,915
...by the river and I heard my friend
calling for help...
1507
01:49:53,440 -- 01:49:54,759
...and I look...
1508
01:49:55,280 -- 01:49:57,111
...and she has fallen in the water.
1509
01:49:57,200 -- 01:49:59,111
Don't tell me lies. What happened?
1510
01:50:00,720 -- 01:50:02,790
We was crossing the river.
1511
01:50:08,160 -- 01:50:09,991
What are you doing out there?
1512
01:50:10,120 -- 01:50:12,395
Wait. Who are they?
Why bring them here?
1513
01:50:12,640 -- 01:50:14,119
I need help, iseora/i.
1514
01:50:19,520 -- 01:50:22,432
I'll call Border Patrol.
They'll get her to the hospital.
1515
01:50:23,960 -- 01:50:26,269
You think you're doing
these people a favor?
1516
01:50:26,360 -- 01:50:28,999
What are they going to do?
They get on welfare...
1517
01:50:29,080 -- 01:50:30,832
...or they become criminals.
1518
01:50:55,920 -- 01:50:57,797
This girl is a friend of yours?
1519
01:50:59,720 -- 01:51:01,153
I thought you were married.
1520
01:51:01,360 -- 01:51:05,399
I am married to the cousin of a friend
but only to live here.
1521
01:51:05,840 -- 01:51:07,558
This is the mother of my child.
1522
01:51:09,320 -- 01:51:10,309
Typical.
1523
01:51:20,320 -- 01:51:21,355
Homework?
1524
01:51:23,080 -- 01:51:24,559
I finished that.
1525
01:51:24,840 -- 01:51:26,432
I'm just messing around.
1526
01:51:30,440 -- 01:51:31,509
Tanks, huh?
1527
01:51:32,160 -- 01:51:33,434
Yeah, well....
1528
01:51:33,880 -- 01:51:37,395
If you've got to be in the Army,
better to have something slick to drive.
1529
01:51:37,480 -- 01:51:38,435
So....
1530
01:51:39,640 -- 01:51:41,312
You're going in the Army?
1531
01:51:43,960 -- 01:51:45,996
That's the general plan, isn't it?
1532
01:51:51,200 -- 01:51:52,633
That's up to you.
1533
01:51:56,560 -- 01:51:58,630
The Army isn't for everybody.
1534
01:52:05,600 -- 01:52:08,319
It's not that I think
you wouldn't be good at it.
1535
01:52:08,800 -- 01:52:09,915
You know....
1536
01:52:12,120 -- 01:52:16,352
I wouldn't be disappointed if you decided
to do something else with your life.
1537
01:52:19,000 -- 01:52:19,989
You wouldn't?
1538
01:52:22,360 -- 01:52:23,270
No.
1539
01:52:34,040 -- 01:52:35,951
How's your room shaping up?
1540
01:52:37,520 -- 01:52:39,590
It's fine. I'm pretty much moved in.
1541
01:52:39,680 -- 01:52:40,795
Good.
1542
01:52:45,920 -- 01:52:47,797
Are we ever going to see your father?
1543
01:52:48,320 -- 01:52:49,435
My father?
1544
01:52:49,760 -- 01:52:50,954
He lives here, right?
1545
01:52:51,040 -- 01:52:52,155
Yes, he does.
1546
01:52:58,720 -- 01:53:00,153
Maybe we'll....
1547
01:53:00,800 -- 01:53:03,598
We'll fix that thing out back and have...
1548
01:53:04,000 -- 01:53:04,989
...a barbecue.
1549
01:53:05,680 -- 01:53:07,272
We could invite him and...
1550
01:53:07,360 -- 01:53:08,952
...and his wife over.
1551
01:53:12,040 -- 01:53:13,792
He makes his own sauce.
1552
01:54:10,000 -- 01:54:11,433
iLet's go! Hurry up!/i
1553
01:54:12,720 -- 01:54:14,711
Everybody in the world will see.
1554
01:54:17,760 -- 01:54:19,512
He was a doctor on the other side.
1555
01:54:21,360 -- 01:54:22,509
Don't worry about it.
1556
01:54:24,120 -- 01:54:25,872
He owes me a few favors.
1557
01:54:31,480 -- 01:54:34,153
In English, Enrique. In English!
1558
01:54:40,440 -- 01:54:41,429
Hollis!
1559
01:54:45,440 -- 01:54:46,395
Hollis!
1560
01:54:48,640 -- 01:54:50,039
You in there?
1561
01:55:13,840 -- 01:55:14,795
Fellas.
1562
01:55:22,480 -- 01:55:23,913
You're open late.
1563
01:55:24,640 -- 01:55:27,279
I'm not open. We're just talking.
1564
01:55:34,640 -- 01:55:36,551
So, Hollis probably told you.
1565
01:55:37,160 -- 01:55:38,957
We found Charlie Wade.
1566
01:55:39,880 -- 01:55:41,313
Is that right?
1567
01:55:42,400 -- 01:55:45,710
Start digging holes in this county,
no telling what'll come up.
1568
01:55:47,600 -- 01:55:49,431
You two saw it, didn't you?
1569
01:55:52,240 -- 01:55:54,629
You two saw it when Buddy killed him.
1570
01:55:58,480 -- 01:56:00,869
I'm going to find out one way or the other.
1571
01:56:01,480 -- 01:56:04,392
Your father had the finest sense
of justice...
1572
01:56:04,560 -- 01:56:06,437
...of any man I've ever known.
1573
01:56:06,920 -- 01:56:08,831
And my mother was a saint.
1574
01:56:10,960 -- 01:56:13,599
For 15 years the whole damn town...
1575
01:56:13,920 -- 01:56:16,480
...knew he had another woman on the side.
1576
01:56:19,920 -- 01:56:22,514
He stole $10,000
and set her up in business...
1577
01:56:22,640 -- 01:56:24,312
...but hell, what's that?
1578
01:56:25,040 -- 01:56:27,270
You got a problem, old Buddy'll fix it.
1579
01:56:27,760 -- 01:56:29,876
You facing some time in jail?
1580
01:56:30,080 -- 01:56:33,993
Buddy'll knock half of it off,
if you do what he says when he says.
1581
01:56:35,200 -- 01:56:37,714
You got some business
that's not exactly legal?
1582
01:56:37,800 -- 01:56:38,949
Just talk to Buddy.
1583
01:56:39,040 -- 01:56:40,029
Buddy Deeds--
1584
01:56:40,120 -- 01:56:41,872
Buddy Deeds was a murderer.
1585
01:56:43,760 -- 01:56:45,159
That night at the cafe...
1586
01:56:45,520 -- 01:56:48,557
...he didn't stay long after you left,
did he, Hollis?
1587
01:56:49,760 -- 01:56:52,672
Maybe he'd decided
he'd gone too far with Wade.
1588
01:56:52,760 -- 01:56:56,036
He figured he'd better not wait
for the sheriff to get behind him.
1589
01:56:56,120 -- 01:56:58,634
So he stepped out to see
if he could catch up...
1590
01:57:01,960 -- 01:57:04,349
...and you were here that night...
1591
01:57:04,920 -- 01:57:06,558
...weren't you, ''O''?
1592
01:57:08,400 -- 01:57:09,628
I was here.
1593
01:57:13,000 -- 01:57:16,197
I'd been running a game
on the side after hours.
1594
01:57:17,960 -- 01:57:19,154
Craps.
1595
01:57:19,840 -- 01:57:21,990
Draw poker on the weekends.
1596
01:57:23,480 -- 01:57:25,550
Roderick didn't know about it.
1597
01:57:26,400 -- 01:57:27,833
More important...
1598
01:57:28,400 -- 01:57:30,960
...Charlie Wade didn't know about it...
1599
01:57:31,320 -- 01:57:34,198
...'cause I didn't want to cut him in on it.
1600
01:57:35,880 -- 01:57:38,917
I was pretty full of myself
back in those days.
1601
01:57:40,080 -- 01:57:43,709
Hell, I just didn't expect the man so early.
1602
01:59:49,600 -- 01:59:50,510
Wade!
1603
02:00:34,600 -- 02:00:38,149
Sheriff Charlie was the whip hand
for old Judge Tibbs...
1604
02:00:38,520 -- 02:00:41,273
...who pretty much owned
this county back then.
1605
02:00:42,280 -- 02:00:44,111
If the truth came out...
1606
02:00:44,720 -- 02:00:47,280
...he wasn't going to go easy on Hollis.
1607
02:00:49,720 -- 02:00:52,359
I don't know why I trusted Buddy with it...
1608
02:00:53,720 -- 02:00:55,756
...don't know why he trusted me.
1609
02:00:59,000 -- 02:01:00,752
The first time I talked with him...
1610
02:01:00,840 -- 02:01:02,796
...was right there and then...
1611
02:01:03,760 -- 02:01:07,594
...with a dead white man leaking blood
on the floor between us.
1612
02:01:08,120 -- 02:01:11,908
The three of us cleaned up
and took him out by the post...
1613
02:01:12,600 -- 02:01:14,079
...and put him under.
1614
02:01:15,280 -- 02:01:17,191
I can't say I was much help.
1615
02:01:17,720 -- 02:01:19,472
And the $10,000?
1616
02:01:20,360 -- 02:01:21,873
Widow's benefits.
1617
02:01:22,560 -- 02:01:25,279
He figured it'd make
the disappearance look better.
1618
02:01:25,400 -- 02:01:29,029
And Mercedes was scraping by
after Charlie killed her man.
1619
02:01:30,480 -- 02:01:31,674
Buddy and her...
1620
02:01:31,760 -- 02:01:33,876
...didn't get hooked up until later.
1621
02:01:34,720 -- 02:01:36,472
Time went on...
1622
02:01:36,560 -- 02:01:38,551
...people liked the story we told...
1623
02:01:38,640 -- 02:01:41,154
...better than what the truth
might have been.
1624
02:01:42,320 -- 02:01:43,912
It's your call, Sam.
1625
02:01:45,840 -- 02:01:48,718
I don't think the Rangers are likely to...
1626
02:01:49,160 -- 02:01:51,879
...find out any more
than they already know.
1627
02:01:54,840 -- 02:01:56,432
And as for me...
1628
02:01:59,760 -- 02:02:02,479
...it's just one of your unsolved mysteries.
1629
02:02:11,360 -- 02:02:13,715
Word gets out who the body was...
1630
02:02:14,760 -- 02:02:16,796
...people'll think Buddy done it.
1631
02:02:19,960 -- 02:02:21,871
Buddy's a goddamn legend.
1632
02:02:23,640 -- 02:02:25,198
He can handle it.
1633
02:02:31,120 -- 02:02:32,553
'Night, fellas.
1634
02:02:59,360 -- 02:03:01,271
When does the picture start?
1635
02:03:04,320 -- 02:03:07,676
Are you going to tell your mother
we've been seeing each other?
1636
02:03:08,080 -- 02:03:10,196
She'll find out sooner or later.
1637
02:03:10,360 -- 02:03:13,830
I don't have to ask permission anymore,
if that's what you mean.
1638
02:03:19,640 -- 02:03:22,074
You have any idea when your father died?
1639
02:03:22,160 -- 02:03:23,115
Eladio?
1640
02:03:24,400 -- 02:03:26,595
Couple of months before I was born.
1641
02:03:29,080 -- 02:03:31,071
Try a year and half.
1642
02:03:50,000 -- 02:03:53,879
Buddy bought the cafe for her
with money he took from the county.
1643
02:03:57,480 -- 02:03:59,436
They can't pull this on me.
1644
02:04:00,520 -- 02:04:01,873
It's not fair.
1645
02:04:07,000 -- 02:04:08,513
I don't believe this.
1646
02:04:15,600 -- 02:04:18,398
He paid the hospital bill
when you were born.
1647
02:04:21,640 -- 02:04:22,868
Your mother...
1648
02:04:23,800 -- 02:04:25,631
...she always called you...
1649
02:04:26,080 -- 02:04:27,832
...''a beautiful daughter''...
1650
02:04:28,920 -- 02:04:31,036
...in the letters she wrote to him.
1651
02:04:37,960 -- 02:04:40,599
From the first time I saw you at school...
1652
02:04:50,000 -- 02:04:53,549
...all those years we were married
to other people, I always felt...
1653
02:04:54,600 -- 02:04:56,431
...like we were connected.
1654
02:05:01,160 -- 02:05:02,832
I remember thinking...
1655
02:05:04,440 -- 02:05:06,715
...you were the one part of my life...
1656
02:05:07,560 -- 02:05:09,676
...that Buddy didn't have a piece of.
1657
02:05:10,800 -- 02:05:12,995
I can't have any more children.
1658
02:05:13,640 -- 02:05:15,790
After Amado, I had complications.
1659
02:05:15,880 -- 02:05:19,316
I can't get pregnant anymore,
if that's what the rule is about.
1660
02:05:23,240 -- 02:05:24,514
So that's it?
1661
02:05:26,760 -- 02:05:29,149
You won't want to be with me anymore?
1662
02:05:32,640 -- 02:05:34,039
If I met you...
1663
02:05:35,720 -- 02:05:37,756
...for the first time today...
1664
02:05:39,000 -- 02:05:40,991
...I'd still want to be with you.
1665
02:05:46,400 -- 02:05:48,152
Start from scratch?
1666
02:05:49,560 -- 02:05:50,470
Yeah.
1667
02:05:52,120 -- 02:05:54,873
All that other stuff and all that history...
1668
02:05:55,760 -- 02:05:57,478
...the hell with it, right?
1669
02:06:03,240 -- 02:06:04,753
Forget the Alamo.
1670
02:09:44,320 -- 02:09:47,312
