1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you one little quick story comes.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: This is a funny story. We were out drinking party.

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: Any one of my friends was a virgin. We said,

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, you can't do that. Were twenty years old. Well,

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: so one o'clock at night we take him out. On

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: fifty eight. They wouldn't let us in, but when they

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: we wouldn't let us sin On twenty nine. We was

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: about four or five of us and we weren't. We

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: got we'd been drinking, but still, I'm a fun guy.

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: I don't get mad. I have the time. So they

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: left us sin out there and we said, this guy

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: right here never been with a woman, fix him up

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: and get him good. So we sitting around talking and

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: try and get us. Then my brother in law, Padel,

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: came over to me and wanted me to go. I said,

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: I can go back there. We'll go back. She said,

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: what do you want? She said? I said, you know, honestly,

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you. She said, are you gay?

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: And I said no, with a girlfriend. I'm happily satisfied,

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: but I want to talk to you about your life.

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: Why did you get into this?

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: What is it?

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: And for thirty minutes we sat on that bed, and

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: she opened up to me, like what we're doing? And

25
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: she said, honey, yours is free tonight. I said, Sugar,

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I'm not here for that. I'm here

27
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 1: for my fun. I'm having some fun. But I'm gonna

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: give you my card if you ever need something, let

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: me know. A month or two later, she walks in

30
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: my office and Deaddy's eyes light up like this. But

31
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: she hed called him before the grand jury and she

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: wanted to see me. So she came back to back

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: office and I'm sitting I like, WHOA, what's going on?

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: She said. You know, I've never had anybody come in

35
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: in and do me like you are. I've got a

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: young daughter. I want her away from what I do,

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: and I want to buy some land with a house

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: to where I can keep her away from it. I said, Sugar,

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: i'll help you. I told you when I'm at you,

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: i'll help you. She said, well, I got fifty thousand

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: dollars cash, and I said, where is it. She said,

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: Tom Barker's got fifty thousand dollars my money. I said,

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: you don't have fifty thousand dollars. She said, what do

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: you mean? I said, when you go to ask for it,

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna get the crap beat out of it.

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: You don't be shipped down to Carolina, honey. That's why

47
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: they call it white slavery. It breaks my heart. And

48
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, you come back to see me. But

49
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: I think I'm right, and you ought to get out

50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: of this now why you can.

51
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: Truck shot brothels run by a web of x cons,

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: a commonwealth attorney wasted on whiskey and power, protection exchanged

53
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: for cash and flesh. A brish local reporter exposing it all.

54
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: This is hooker Gate, criminals and libertines in the South.

55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: And I am your host, Doctor Lindsey Byron, author, historian

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: and lifelong wayward woman. This forgotten scandal happened in my hometown.

57
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: Join me as I use crumbling news clippings, interviews, and

58
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: dramatic reenactments to bring to life for the first time

59
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: in nearly fifty years, this wild ride of hedonistic corruption.

60
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: Episode five, Keeping the Peace.

61
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: Can you tell us how you got involved in this

62
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: line of work, Brianna, I was.

63
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 4: Never a prostitute before I went to Danville. I was

64
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 4: only in the business for three months and I was

65
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: forced into that business because I was threatened. My boyfriend

66
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 4: threatened me and told me that if I didn't get

67
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: out and go to work, I've never seen my daughter again.

68
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 4: And for three years I haven't seen my daughter.

69
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: It's up to you how long she stays.

70
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: Tommy told the strange man from out of town. As

71
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: together they huddled in the office. From the bar outside,

72
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 3: Janet eavesdropped beside. Janet said, a woman who'd come in

73
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 3: on the arm of that strange man. That woman darted

74
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: her eyes from the office door to her ragged cuticles

75
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: and back again.

76
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: What's your name? Janet asked her. What's my name? Or

77
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: what do they call me? What's your name, Brianna?

78
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 3: Though I don't guess that'll be of much use here. Well,

79
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: what name would be of use here?

80
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: Kitten? The men call me kitten.

81
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: You don't sound much like you want to be here, Brianna.

82
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't. Then, why are you?

83
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: Brianna gestured to the office door. Janet noticed four small

84
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: bruises dotting her throat. He dragged my ass here from

85
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: South Carolina, and he'll drag my ass wherever the hell

86
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: he wants to go next.

87
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: So it's all the same to me. All I care

88
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: about is getting back to my daughter.

89
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 3: On her finger, she rotated a signet ring engraved with initials.

90
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: That man is running her. Janet told Tommy later, I

91
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: don't care who she gives the money to. Tommy replied,

92
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: as long as.

93
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: She gives the first half to me. It's not funny, Tommy.

94
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: She don't want to be here, and thank you kindly

95
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: for your opinion, Tommy replied, then turned his back and

96
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: drew from his pocket an envelope folded in half. He

97
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: couldn't bear to let Janet know that despite how hard

98
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: they'd worked, all of them, her, him, the girls, hell,

99
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: even door man Roy, the numbers just weren't adding up.

100
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: Tommy could not allow morality to clout his business decisions

101
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: at this time. It isn't my opinion, Tommy, you and

102
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: that man talking about she stays as long as you say,

103
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: she stays talking about.

104
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: I don't care who she gives the money to.

105
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: I don't agree with that shit, Tommy, and I.

106
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: Don't agree with eavesdropping.

107
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 3: He returned, thumbing through the contents of the envelope, counting

108
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: under his breath. Wayne would be by any time to

109
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: pick up this week's fee. Why exactly, this man ought

110
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: to receive such a hunk of his earnings. Tommy couldn't decide.

111
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: Holly called it protection. Tommy called it blackmail. Tommy felt

112
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: his eyelid jump as he sealed the envelope containing precious

113
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: hundreds earmarked for a rich man.

114
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: He hated, Hello out there, A female voice rang out

115
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: from the lounge. Can somebody get me in? This fine

116
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: gentleman squared away?

117
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: Please you handle it? Tommy shot over his shoulder. He

118
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: didn't mean to be mean, He didn't want to be mean,

119
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: Yet clouds closed ever.

120
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: Around his restless spirit.

121
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: Janet followed orders, but in her heart a seed of

122
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: disco tent sprouted roots. This is my first night back

123
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: in three weeks, and y'all got us out here waiting,

124
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: Connie teased Janet. When Janet finally met her at the counter.

125
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: Behind Connie, a builder from South Hill shuffled his feet.

126
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: What does he want, Connie? He wants a straight Janet?

127
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: Go on, then, Janet said, and Connie led the builder

128
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: to a room in the back. I knew you'd return,

129
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: Connie cooed as she shut the door. Janet returned to

130
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: her desk, the location she'd been working more often than

131
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: the back rooms. Lately, cutting up the money and creating

132
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 3: schedules keeping track of clientele, Janet found herself dealing in

133
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: log books more often than hand relief. These days, she

134
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: buried herself and balancing the budget away to be useful

135
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 3: to perhap apps iron out the wrinkle. Stubbornly forming in

136
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: their love, Janet barely had time to engross herself in

137
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: the numbers. However, when she heard Connie laughing down the

138
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: hallway again. That didn't take long, Janet remarked, after Connie escorted.

139
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: The builder out the door.

140
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 3: Never does, Connie smiled, handing Janet two fives and a ten.

141
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: Janet looked at the clock, almost nine. The darkness gathered outside,

142
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: enveloping the truck stop in a blanket of night. This

143
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 3: was a hidden place and out of the way stop, small, unobtrusive,

144
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: humble made of cinder blocks and tin, a hiding place

145
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 3: for sin. Janet added Connie's two fives and a ten

146
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: to the slim stack of ca collected that day. She

147
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 3: stacked the bills according to denominations, waiting until it was

148
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: all organized to determine the final sum. Some girls seem

149
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: so free, like Connie, flitting in and out of the

150
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 3: truck stop, from week to week, to month to month,

151
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 3: laughing all the while. Then there were girls like this

152
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: new one, Brianna Sullen, quiet, strangely beholden to some man.

153
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: No man could ever lord over me like that. We

154
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: think as strong, independent women, until one day get under

155
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: his thumb. And you don't know how it happened. You

156
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: just know you can't get out. Hell, maybe you don't

157
00:10:53,880 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: want to get out. Maybe this is love now unpacked.

158
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: Crept silently from her room to Janet's desk.

159
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: Where can I make a call?

160
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: She asked, and Janet pointed to the phone at the

161
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: end of the bar. As she finished organizing the day's earnings,

162
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 3: Janet noticed a strange doodle and blue ink on one

163
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: of the bills. Across the room. She heard Brianna promise

164
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: into the phone, Mommy will be home soon. Poor fool,

165
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: Janet thought, depositing the cash into a bag.

166
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: Okay, missus Dowdy.

167
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 3: After Phyllis got out of the hospital, did you have

168
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: anything to do with her going to her mother's and

169
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: not coming back to Harold Wayne.

170
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: No, sir, were you in charge at that time?

171
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, Phyllis had been in charge before that time,

172
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: hadn't she?

173
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: From what I.

174
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: Heard, she wasn't capable of being in charge?

175
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: And you feel like you are much more capable, don't you?

176
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 5: Yes?

177
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: I was.

178
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: The night was black on Highway fifty eight. As Harold

179
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,239
Speaker 3: Wayne drove home to Robin, one side of his mind

180
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 3: clicked with anxiety. Slap dab in the middle of the night.

181
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: And yet that bastard Whitehead had him by the nuts again.

182
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: Joe says, jump. Harold Wayne says how.

183
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: High h WD rotated a ruby ring around his pinky.

184
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: He'd see what he could do about finding Whitehead a

185
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: girl tonight. Somehow it was imperative he keeped the peace,

186
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: But first he'd lay a kiss on the woman he loved,

187
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: blessed least sleeping now in his bend, A woman he

188
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: worked too hard, maybe and treated too hard for sure.

189
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 3: He'd given her expensive gifts, yes, unending compliments, passionate love making,

190
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: but he'd also allowed her to carry a heavy load

191
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: when she'd first arrived at the fifty h w D

192
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: had expected Robin to flash in and out of his

193
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: life in the same way most women did. He hadn't

194
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 3: expected to fall instantly madly in love He hadn't expected

195
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: her to fall in love right back the first time

196
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 3: they kissed, pressed against the wood paneled dark corner of

197
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 3: the fifty eight, he promised himself, only this one.

198
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: Time, another promise he hadn't kept.

199
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: After all, there was Phyllis to consider, and along with Phyllis,

200
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 3: of course, there was the baby. Do the right thing,

201
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: he lectured himself daily, And yet daily he did the

202
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: wrong thing instead.

203
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: But was it wrong? This love? How could this love

204
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: be wrong? The heart bent.

205
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: Itself to the laws of nature, not morality. Harold Wayne

206
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 3: no more chose to lose himself to Robin than he

207
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: chose to breathe, to sleep, to dream. I think you

208
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: should move in with your mother, he told Phyllis in

209
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: the weeks preceding the birth of their child.

210
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: She can't do her job worth a.

211
00:14:53,400 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: Shit, Robin grumbled to herself, often observing the ever expe Phyllis.

212
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 3: One day, Phyllis, red faced and tears streaked, knocked the

213
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: heavy log book to the floor and couldn't heartily pick

214
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: the damn thing back up.

215
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: She'd gotten so big.

216
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: Robin simply glared on with a smirk. Did your turn next,

217
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: Phyllis told her miserably from her crouch on the floor.

218
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: Robin hadn't mentioned that exchange to Harold Wayne. Instead, as

219
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: Phyllis moved out, Robin moved in. How could it be wrong?

220
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: How could this love be wrong? The night was black

221
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: on Highway fifty eight. When at last Harold Wayne arrived home.

222
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: It was deep into the darkest hour of morning. Robin

223
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: slept soundly on satin sheets. Not a bruise on her

224
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: not a worry carved into her brow, nor an alarm.

225
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: Set for the next shift.

226
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: Since he'd suggest that she take time off, she'd been

227
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 3: sleeping long hours, going to bed sometimes at nine at night,

228
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: and not waking until noon the next day. She hadn't

229
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: set still for far too long. He wouldn't wake her now,

230
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:27,119
Speaker 3: not for anyone, not even Joseph Mottley Whitehead. The next afternoon,

231
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 3: Harold Wayne brought Robin with him to work, took her

232
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: into the office. You'll be responsible for booking girls, he explained,

233
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: as he pulled out a black book from his desk.

234
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: We need to refresh you women every three weeks. There's

235
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 3: a list of candidates in that file cabinet over there.

236
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: But most important Robin is working that door I need

237
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: a discerning head at that door. When a customer comes in,

238
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 3: you'll record his appearance, hair color, size, age, check his

239
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: driver's license, see if he has any paycheck stubs or

240
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 3: any other kind of identification to show you he.

241
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: Ain't law enforcement. Finally, you'll cut up the money.

242
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 3: Harold Wayne, She interrupted, I thought you wanted me to

243
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 3: take time off.

244
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 2: From dating. He replied, no more dates. I'm moving you

245
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 2: to management. She smiled that smile that he adored, part trouble,

246
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 2: part home. In his pocket, he palmed a diamond ring.

247
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 5: Missus Whitehead describes their marriage to have been in serious

248
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 5: trouble for the past four or five years. She states

249
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 5: that her husband alienates people, mostly when he's drinking. Her

250
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 5: statement was, in her exact words, Joe has been acting

251
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 5: nutty for the past four or five years. She said

252
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 5: that he has an ability to charm people and swept

253
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 5: her off her feet when she first met him. She

254
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 5: admits to having married him primarily because of his charm, education,

255
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 5: and status within the community, and she felt she would

256
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 5: be well off. She said they have not related sexually

257
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 5: for the past three years, and prior to that they

258
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 5: had a very difficult time. She goes on to elaborate

259
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 5: that he has on several occasions verbalized that the world

260
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 5: is against him, and she has felt that he was

261
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 5: suicidal on several occasions. In the past year. He has

262
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 5: talked several times about killing himself and refers to shooting himself.

263
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 5: She sleeps in a separate bedroom from her husband now

264
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 5: and is really uncertain as to the prognosis of the marriage.

265
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: You're out of control, Joe.

266
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: Elizabeth Whitehead balanced a toddler on her hip, Drinking like

267
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: a fish, she said, gone at.

268
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 2: All hours of the night, coming home smelling like a bitch. Heat.

269
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: I gave you everything, Joe muttered, head down. If he

270
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 3: kept his eyes on his speech, he might not notice

271
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: that his head was swimming. You're drunk right now, aren't you.

272
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 3: The baby started crying. I'm gonna do better, he promised.

273
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 3: You said that last time.

274
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: It's just whoa.

275
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: We couldn't get pregnant, and you were so upset, and

276
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: I had just a case after case, and I had

277
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: It's been a year of excuses, Joe, years of excuses. Joe.

278
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: He sank onto the couch, put his head in his hands.

279
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 3: A great wrapped his shoulders. You were two inches away

280
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: from running for the Senate, Joe, and now look at

281
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 3: you wheeling and dealing with the lowest of the low

282
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: and thinking I won't mind, the baby wailed louder. Well,

283
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 3: I do mind, Elizabeth said, over her child's cries. And

284
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 3: this will turn out badly. Look it already has. Let

285
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 3: me hold the baby, Liz hail no. Elizabeth turned on

286
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: her heels and went into the nursery. Half an hour later,

287
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: she returned, the baby sleeping in her crib, at last

288
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 3: to find her husband sitting on the couch with a

289
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: pistol in his hand. Is this what you want, he asked,

290
00:20:53,440 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: raising the gun to his temple. Joe, A tear sped

291
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: down his cheek. I told you i'd do better, and

292
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: I haven't. We can fix it, joke, we can, we

293
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: can fix it. He lowered the gun to his life.

294
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: One room over, a baby restarted her wail.

295
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 6: Couldn't he tell us what happened that night? Missus Barker.

296
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 7: I was working at the twenty nine one night when

297
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 7: I got a call from Wayne Holly. He told me

298
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 7: it was him and asked if I would like to

299
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 7: do a favor and would I get another female companion

300
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 7: and come to his trailer, and I said yes. I

301
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 7: called my husband Thomas. I told him where I was going,

302
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 7: and I was to pick up another girl who was

303
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 7: Tnita Williams. We went to the car lot and I

304
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 7: blew the horn. Mister Holly came to the door and

305
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 7: I went inside, and mister Whitehead and another man were

306
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 7: drinking pretty bad, and then Nita went to bed with

307
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 7: both of them. I had sexual relations with mister Whitehead.

308
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 7: We got into a disagreement and I got mad and left.

309
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,239
Speaker 7: He made the statement that he owned me, and I

310
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 7: did not like it.

311
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 5: Did you get paid for that?

312
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 3: Not?

313
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 7: No? I did not.

314
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 3: Tommy was well thoroughly tired of sharing his woman with

315
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 3: other men, and he made no secret of it. Customers

316
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 3: could sense his antipathy and rarely requested Janet for dates.

317
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: They'd see her working that desk and figure she was

318
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: off the table anyway she was. But when the phone

319
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 3: rang one night and mister Wayne Holly interrupted Janet in

320
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 3: her sorting of cash to ask her personally for a favor, well,

321
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 3: how could she say no again?

322
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: Bring that Tanita Gal too, he told her.

323
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 3: The happier everyone kept Whitehead, the more peaceful things ran.

324
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: The more peaceful things ran, the more peaceful ran the

325
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 3: love between Tommy and Janet.

326
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: Well, I know you don't want to do it. Not

327
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: rather you not do it, Tommy said.

328
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 3: When she called him for guidance, His attention divided by

329
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: the pills, he separated into piles on the coffee table.

330
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 3: The squeeze had gotten tight. Couldn't get much tighter. He'd

331
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: make his money anyway, he knew how. Janet drove through

332
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 3: the night to Tanita's trailer. She banged on the door

333
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: four good times before a shirtless young man creaked it open.

334
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: Tanita couldn't still be working? Could she here out of

335
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: her home?

336
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 3: Janet asked, as she slid by the man into Tanita's bedroom.

337
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 3: Shan't working, She's sleeping, the young man replied. Janet found

338
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 3: Tanita snoring, face down.

339
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 2: Tanita.

340
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 3: Janet shook her. Tanita continued to snore. Tanita.

341
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 2: Janet pinched her. Tanita continued to snore. Well, damn, it's

342
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: only ten o'clock, she said, down the hallway to the

343
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: strange young man. Why is she dead asleep?

344
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: The young man sat down on the bed beside t

345
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: Anita stroked her cheek, pushed a stray lock of hair

346
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 3: out of her face. Come on, baby, he said in

347
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 3: her ear. One of your friends is here to see you.

348
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 3: Gotta wake up. Tanita's eyelids fluttered, and then she sat up,

349
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 3: looked around listen manner, she slurred. What's her deal, Janet

350
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 3: asked the young man. He sat down beside Tanita squeezed

351
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: her arms and shoulders, rubbing her to wake her, as

352
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: one might towel off a newly born puppy. Her eyelids

353
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 3: fluttered again, and then they snapped wide open. She looked

354
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: at Janet and asked, what are you doing here?

355
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 2: I need your help.

356
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 3: I'm all for it. I know me too, but I

357
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 3: need you. It's Joe Whitehead again. Tanita's eyes fluttered clothes.

358
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 3: Janet looked to the young man.

359
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: For God's sakes, go make her some coffee.

360
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 3: Within the hour, the two women were on the road

361
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 3: to Carriage Hill Trailer Park. Why the hell are you

362
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 3: working out of your own home, Janet's shot at the woman,

363
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 3: still sleepy in her passenger seat.

364
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: You can't cut Tommy out. You know that ain't right.

365
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: I won't work in then? Who was that man? To Nita?

366
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: Not everything is work, Janet? He a friend He's more

367
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 3: than a friend. You know, love don't last in this world?

368
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: To Nita, you might want to tell that to yourself, Janna.

369
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 3: Na did not want to fight with this woman. She

370
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 3: could tell by the way Tanita slurred her words and

371
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: peered through half shut eyes.

372
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: That she won't all the way with it.

373
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 3: Nonetheless, Tanita's words irritated a spot in the corner of

374
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 3: Janet's heart.

375
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 2: Love don't last, Well, that wasn't true for her and Tommy,

376
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 2: was it? Sure?

377
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 3: Tommy had been irritable lately and secretive. Janet sometimes wondered

378
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: where his mind traveled. What was Tommy always worrying about?

379
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 3: With his silence, his closed doors, his furrowed brow. When

380
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 3: the two women entered the trailer, Whitehead and his friend

381
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 3: wasted no time. Whitehead wrestled Tanita on the couch, kissed

382
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: her all over, smacked her on her ass, and sent

383
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 3: her off to a bedroom with his buddy. You and me,

384
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 3: we can go to other bedroom, he said to Janet,

385
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 3: I want to spend some time on you. Well why

386
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 3: it had made himself comfortable on the bed, Janet filled

387
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 3: up a bowl with warm, soapy water. As Janet gently

388
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 3: washed him, he smacked her hand away, give me a

389
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 3: blowjob at this, her patience broke. You talk to me

390
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: like I'm a damn dog now, Janet, I'm a friend,

391
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 3: a friend. How are you a friend? Just helped me

392
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: out here a little bit, Janet? He tugged ineffectually at himself.

393
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: Tommy can't hardly pay the rent, and yet here comes

394
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 3: mister Holly. Every Wednesday, the lord sends with his damn

395
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: hand out, Janet, every single day, you drive Tommy an

396
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 3: inch crazier.

397
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: And who has to pay for that?

398
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 5: Me?

399
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: I have to pay for that.

400
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: Please, Janet, let's please play nice.

401
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 2: Fuck you. Joe Whitehead relinquished his grasp, his dick plunking

402
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: weakly on his lap. Watch your mouth, he warned.

403
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 3: One call to Sheriff McGregor, and I'll have your two

404
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 3: bit business shutdown quicker than you can say.

405
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: Boo honey.

406
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 3: He shifted his weight, then stood fully on the bed.

407
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 3: The frosted glass ceiling lamp cast a golden halo around

408
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 3: his head as he towered now above Janet, his crotch

409
00:29:59,160 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: in her face.

410
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: Tears of rage.

411
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 3: Flooded her eyes. She knew she shouldn't talk back to

412
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 3: this man. She knew that to get what she wanted,

413
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: a peaceful home and income, a.

414
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: Hope for a better life. That she had to give

415
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: this man whatever he wanted so much depended on her compliance,

416
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: And wasn't that the story of womanhood? Compliance?

417
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: Smile, be pretty, don't complain, suck the limp dick of authority,

418
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 3: and do it with a smile. But Janet wasn't just

419
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 3: a yes. She wasn't just a warm body eternally open.

420
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 3: Janet was running out of smiles. She had ghosts.

421
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: She was a whole person, not a plaything traded between men.

422
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: She looked up.

423
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 3: To this gray man standing above her, the son of judges,

424
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 3: the nephew of lawyers, and repeated, simply, fuck.

425
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: You, I own you, Janet, Fuck you.

426
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 3: I own you, Janet, he repeated, and then jumped on

427
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: the bed hard.

428
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 2: I own you.

429
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 3: Janet leaped from the bed and flattened herself against the wall.

430
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 3: I own you, I own you, I own you.

431
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 6: He hollered, leaping ever higher and landing ever harder, until

432
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 6: a loud crack issued from the bed, the frame buckling,

433
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 6: tumbling Joe Whitehead to the floor.

434
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 2: Wayne gonna be mad.

435
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: You broke his bed, Janet said, then stepped over the

436
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 3: fallen politician on her.
