1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: Hm, I am the fairy man.

2
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: The human spirit is my business. Their madness, their passion,

3
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: the wonderful and monstrous ways they burn out their brief candle.

4
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: I regret to tell you that very many American lives

5
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 3: in love.

6
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: Was heard to shouts from the car.

7
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 3: He's dead. Whether he rebird to president or four hours,

8
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 3: people must get up and go.

9
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 4: If I am here in the in between to collect

10
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 4: their spirits and carry them to what comes next.

11
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: This road is not on any map.

12
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 5: It spanned the thresholds between their most forbidden desires and

13
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 5: their greatest fear.

14
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: All I ask for.

15
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 5: In payment is a tale and accounting of their lives

16
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 5: and the great temporary that is the land of the living.

17
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: These are their stories.

18
00:01:35,680 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 6: This is the passage.

19
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 5: Jonestown, Guyana, November eighteenth, nineteen seventy eight.

20
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: Death has a scent.

21
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 5: It's not the spoil of decomposing flesh that comes later.

22
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 5: First death smells like scorched earth and the salt air

23
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 5: and the steam rising off the tarmac at the Port

24
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 5: Katuma airstrip after a tropical storm. You can smell it here,

25
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 5: mingling with the swede and musky scent of orchids. Hmmm, yeah,

26
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 5: you can hear death too under the buzz of busy pollinators.

27
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 5: I have been very busy here, tendant to the lost

28
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 5: souls after their massacre, hundreds of lost souls, all crying

29
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 5: out together. The people's temple was here after being chased

30
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 5: from its country of origin, a grand experiment gone horribly awry.

31
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: Such is the case with cults of men. The temple

32
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 5: buildings still stand, the people do not. What made them

33
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 5: human was their need to belong, to be a part

34
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 5: of something that transcended themselves across human history. This is

35
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 5: a requirement for survival. Rights of passage prepare the human

36
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 5: spirit for their place in the universe. These are painful, humiliating,

37
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 5: and violent, as the old persona is literally destroyed to

38
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 5: make way for the new. In these waning days of

39
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 5: the twentieth century, there's no such rights of passage. Ceremonies

40
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 5: no longer hold transformative power. So in this time, Americans

41
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 5: have begun to ask themselves to what do I belong?

42
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 5: It is a question born of separation. It is a

43
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 5: question that incites madness. America, after all, is a nation

44
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 5: of immigrants, people displaced from their past and continually searching

45
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 5: for their renewed sense of belonging. Yeah, a country, a

46
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 5: political party, a circus, or in this case a church.

47
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: To What do I belong?

48
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 6: They ask?

49
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 5: Their religions are failing them, their rituals replaced only by

50
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 5: a great drive to consume. But consumption cannot say the soul,

51
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 5: and so they continue the search evermore frantic, many falling

52
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 5: for the schemes of the likes of the man we

53
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 5: meet today, Jim Jones, another American opportunist who saw the

54
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 5: great question being asked, who sends the great hunger for

55
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 5: meaning at the hollow core of American life? And who

56
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 5: sought to fill it.

57
00:05:59,440 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 6: With himself.

58
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 5: Thousands of followers flocked to him, as mirised by his

59
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 5: displays of mind reading and faith healing, and finding great

60
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 5: meaning in his words, a new something to belong to.

61
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 5: They followed that something to hear, to the salt air

62
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 5: and the orchids of Guyana, to Jonestown. Despite his humanitarian preachings,

63
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 5: he controlled his followers by humiliation and beatings, and blackmailing

64
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 5: and brainwashing. Here he had total autonomy, and moments ago,

65
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 5: in a violent fit of peak, Jim destroyed what he built,

66
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 5: as well as all those who helped him build it,

67
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 5: including the innocent children who arrived here through no choice

68
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 5: of their own.

69
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 6: Yeah.

70
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 5: Here he sits at the front gate, his grady intinted

71
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 5: sunglasses bent and broken from his own bullet, somehow oblivious

72
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 5: to the stench of death and the wailing of almost

73
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: one thousand lost souls.

74
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: I'll be damned. Never thought my old ass would grace

75
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: the seed of a Cadillac again. I can't thank you

76
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: enough for the ride out of this damned place. You

77
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: wouldn't believe the last few days. Can't leave well enough alone,

78
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: those greedy American bastards. Everything we stood for, our whole

79
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 3: Rainbow family, the whole damn thing went right out the window,

80
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: quick as you please, And all it took was a note.

81
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: Ever seen a city burn because of a scrap of paper?

82
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: Sounds biblical, don't it.

83
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 6: It's time to go.

84
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: Hmm, that's killing me. Marty might be onto something about

85
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: laying off the pills. She called for the car. I'm

86
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 3: sure it's a good woman, despite her flaws.

87
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 5: She did not call you.

88
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 6: You did?

89
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: Oh? Hell I did? I did? Didn't I?

90
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 6: Ye?

91
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 3: Well? Of course, I mean, no one else would would

92
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: think to call the car. The girls had too much

93
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 3: on their plates. None only think about it. Of course,

94
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 3: I called loyal. My family's so damn loyal, But dumbest

95
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 3: posts half of them. No mind. The Good Book says

96
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 3: to love them all the same. Everyone has their uses

97
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: in the end, you know. And what we've all accomplished,

98
00:09:53,120 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: all of us, our commitment, our ambition, our truth, it

99
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: is gonna change everything. The whole world will see soon

100
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: enough what we had to do. That we wouldn't just

101
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 3: lay down and let the enemy steal our lives from us,

102
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: break us down. They thought they had us, but we

103
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: showed them. This day is gonna be legendary. I am

104
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 3: gonna be a legendary. They didn't think we had the courage.

105
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: I tell you, brother, a revolution don't come cheap. But

106
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 3: when you are dealing with the very salvation of everything

107
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 3: you hold in your heart, money's no object at all,

108
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 3: no object at all. We built a town out of nothing,

109
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: you know, in the middle of a jungle. That's damn

110
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: hard work, real brutal stuff. Took a lot of hands

111
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 3: and a lot of capital. There ain't no way around it.

112
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: This day and age. You got to buy your freedom

113
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 3: from the chains of the system. And we did it. Twice.

114
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: There's preachers all over America thinking about being shepherd, telling

115
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: the children to love God and put their faith in

116
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: something intangible and a million miles away. But I put

117
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: in the work. I gave them truth and glory across

118
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: that whole ugly nation, from sea to shining sea, spreading

119
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 3: my good word worth more than a goddamn Bible. I'll

120
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 3: tell you you think you could turn on the air conditioning. Friend,

121
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: the jungle seems to have joined us in the cab.

122
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you, my brother. A lot of

123
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: folks didn't like what I had to say. But the

124
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: good ones, the clever ones, they saw I had the

125
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: right idea, and they spread the word like dandelions on

126
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: the wind. I called, and they followed. Together. We built

127
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: from this soil a paradise on earth. It was better

128
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: than Eden. A father loves his family and sees the

129
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 3: value in them, even if they stray from time to time.

130
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: They just got to know enough to be led to

131
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 3: the promised land. They find their station in life and

132
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: do as they're told, and then it's all golden. They're

133
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 3: worth something, and then you have them for life, good

134
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 3: little soldiers, primed up and ready to march as soon

135
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 3: as you give them the word, I'm here. And you

136
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: should have seen them, how they all stood there that

137
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 3: first night seems like forever ago. We were all there

138
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 3: in the church, sipping wine from our first harvest drapes,

139
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 3: a real treat them, thinking they did such a good

140
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 3: job for their father. We talked a lot about confrontation

141
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: in those days, about Russia, about Cuba, all the places

142
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 3: we could go to to be free, about war, America

143
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: always chomping at the bit for war. But I assure

144
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:25,239
Speaker 3: them all we were safe. Dad would keep them safe,

145
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: and we would stay united against every enemy, united in

146
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: love and revolution. All smiles and nods and amens. Then

147
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 3: I told him they were drinking cyanide in their warm

148
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 3: That's how you know. That's how you separate the wheat

149
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: from the chaff. You can't have a real revolution without conviction.

150
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: You can't know you've got real soldiers on the front lines,

151
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: or cowards afraid to die for what they believe in,

152
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 3: until you put them to the test. They can sing

153
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 3: praises all day long, but I had to know. I

154
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: had to know who I could trust, who really was

155
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 3: a good soldier, ready for the revolution, ready to lay

156
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: down their life for the cause. We did it over

157
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: and over. White Night Communions, that's what we started calling them.

158
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 3: That first night there was all this screaming and yelling

159
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: and running, but not from everyone, wheat from the chaff. Indeed,

160
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: some of my flock they strong armed the others and

161
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: sitting down and shutting the hell up, anything for the cause.

162
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: And when the panic died down and the faithful were

163
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: waiting for me, I told them it was just fine.

164
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 3: It's fine, no poison at all. It's just a test

165
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 3: of faith, a show of devotion. And I'll have you know,

166
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:23,479
Speaker 3: some of those little scavengers, we're goddamn embarrassed about the drama. Ugh, drama,

167
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: Why yes, drama, No need for all that fussing. We

168
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: are revolutionaries. We are brave, better than the blind, frightened

169
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: dogs out there in that seth pit, believing the lie

170
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: that is the American dream. We take a drink and

171
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 3: maybe we're martyrs, or maybe we're just tasting a little

172
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 3: of the good stuff. God's reward for hard work and

173
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: tending good soil, a reward either way for real faith,

174
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: christ level faith, Say, brother, was that silver ice bucket

175
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 3: there a minute ago in this bottle smells off artificial

176
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: grape bitter omens.

177
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll go ahead, Jim, drink M.

178
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: I don't need a sip of that, my friend. I'm

179
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: here now. I played my part. I guided my flock

180
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: home like I promised. No, No, you don't need to

181
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: say it. I can tell guided them to slaughter. That's

182
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: what you're thinking. It's stifling back here, brother, have mercy

183
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: and hit the AC. I never would have had to

184
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: do what I had to do if it weren't for

185
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: that damn senator. If Leo Ryan would have stayed in

186
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 3: californ if he'd kept those goddamn wolves from coming back

187
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: to break apart our family, we'd be singing around campfires

188
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 3: and feeding hungry people. We'd be playing with their babies,

189
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: harvesting vegetables, and healing our elders. I didn't know we

190
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 3: had so many traders in our midst turncoats, sneaky little rats,

191
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: not content with everything I've given a whole new world,

192
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: and they still had to write their lives down and

193
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: beg and bleat at that damn government goon and their

194
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 3: slack jaw family members. Journalists with their cameras and their recorders,

195
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: finding all the worst and building a narrative. They wanted

196
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 3: a spectacle. They wanted it. They wanted to end it all.

197
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 3: Don't you see. I couldn't let them take everything from us.

198
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 3: I couldn't let them destroy our family, rip up the

199
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: people's temple in every thing we stood for. The family

200
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: knew it. My soldiers knew it. Lord. I didn't force some,

201
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 3: didn't tell them what to do, but they knew. They

202
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: followed those little liars back to the airstrip and they

203
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: gunned them down like the pigs. They were just ready

204
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: for them. What did you say, slaughter? No I wasn't there.

205
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: Oh no, I wasn't there. I didn't need to be.

206
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: It had to be done to save us, but it wasn't.

207
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: It wasn't enough to save us. If you want, you

208
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: want me to be honest, I always knew it would

209
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: come to pass, And god damn it, I've just been

210
00:18:54,119 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: so tired of this life, of this responsibility. Hm he

211
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 3: kin too hot, ah, the too damn hot in here

212
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 3: for all this, my goddamn head. I'm in agony back here, friend,

213
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: this ain't the Middle Ages? You know? Are we going

214
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: the right way? You need to understand something I knew

215
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 3: the minute Leo Ryan's brains blew out of his skull,

216
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: we'd all be dead one way or the other. Look

217
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 3: dead at the hands of the United States of America,

218
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: you see, they'd bomb us. Have you heard of fred Hampton,

219
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: Martin Luther, King Tulsa, the trail of tears. America hasn't

220
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: ever given a second thought to killing, just like Rome

221
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 3: of old feeble old men in Washington want nothing more

222
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: than to murder the poor, to take our sons, feed

223
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 3: them to the war machines. They were going to steal

224
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: the babies, blast us into oblivion. Label us terrorists, but

225
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: we aren't terrorists. We're the ones being terrorized, broken down

226
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: by the evils of capitalism. We alone stood up against Goliath,

227
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: and at the end of the day, damn it, it

228
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 3: wasn't enough. It had to be done. People play games, friend,

229
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: What can I do about liars? I beg them to

230
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: just please leave us, But no, there was no other

231
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: way out from my brothers and sisters. No, no, they

232
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: made damn sure that we did not let our lives

233
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 3: be taken, laid them down gladly and protest to every

234
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: damn thing we fought against in this world. One last

235
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: white night, the final test of the love and loyalty,

236
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: of our ability to do great things together. It was

237
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 3: just too damn late for Russia, Do late for Cuba,

238
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: do late for anything but our defiance. Dou late for

239
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: anything except revolutionary suicide, to keep our babies out of

240
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 3: the monster's jaws, to die free and with our hearts full,

241
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 3: not shot down by the state like common criminals. God,

242
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 3: where are you taking me? I should be rewarded for

243
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: my love, for my commitment, my conviction. I am not

244
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 3: a coward. I am a father stronger than those bureaucrats

245
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 3: and those ugh I who loves so so deeply. My

246
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: God understands what I have done. My God will welcome me.

247
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 3: Those people came to me for love, for acceptance, and

248
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: I alone took them in. I provided them with love.

249
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: I accepted them when this evil, horrible world showed them

250
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: only hatred and judgment. I loved them. And now my

251
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: God will take me in because my God loves me.

252
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 3: Are you lost? This is it right? What road are

253
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 3: we on? No? It's too much, it would not smell.

254
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: The sweetness is sickening. We did have to get a

255
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 3: little more forcible with some of our brethren than I

256
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 3: would have wanted. Didn't have to be like that. Brother,

257
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: Please understand, I wanted us all to go easy, peaceful,

258
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: to accept the future, our revolution together painless. Only it

259
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: was it was not the first time that first night,

260
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: and some some people tried to run.

261
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 7: I couldn't have that.

262
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 3: I have them making everything a damn mess, babies crying,

263
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 3: women screaming. No, no, he was all wrong, not my

264
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 3: playing at all. But I couldn't keep on with it anymore. No, no,

265
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 3: to Leah Ryan, I couldn't take any more of that chaos,

266
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: knowing all hell would be loose soon enough. So yes, yes,

267
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 3: some of them we had to. We had to remove.

268
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 3: They were running from the truth and it was too

269
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: late for them. For all of us. We go together.

270
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 3: They've always known that, and I just got no step

271
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 3: of the left for the runners.

272
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 7: None.

273
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 3: After all I had to do to fix every damn

274
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 3: thing for them. Brother, I feel like on the suffocate.

275
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: My head is pounding, gomas are burning, my mouth is enohing.

276
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 6: Drink.

277
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 3: I told you I had quite.

278
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: Enough to drink.

279
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: You haven't had a drop.

280
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: Oh no, yeah, you're gonna try and slip away.

281
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: Oh well, the rest.

282
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: Rot for your lie.

283
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 5: No, you always saw what you wanted to see. You

284
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 5: weren't walking away from here. What good is revolution without

285
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 5: it's martyr?

286
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: Hell, I was gonna go my own way. I'm a

287
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: good father. God damn it. I didn't need no damn

288
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: gun in my face.

289
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 7: Oh not me.

290
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 3: Everything we are we are because of me, and you think. Ah,

291
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 3: I was gonna drink. I was gonna join my beautiful

292
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: rainbow family. It seemed to me that death was a

293
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: million times more preferable than another day in that life.

294
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 3: I told him too. Oh, I laid my life down,

295
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: So we haven't. I laid my life down.

296
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 5: Who try to convince a liar at the very end?

297
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 3: You'll be quiet, if you'll just be quiet. I was

298
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: going to lay my life down.

299
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 5: You're holding the bottle o drink from it.

300
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 3: I would have run if I could have. I was

301
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: so damn tired of it all. Oh, all the z canery,

302
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 3: all the pageantry, days without sleep, none of it ever

303
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 3: mattered at all. I was so tired. Ah, let's just

304
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: tell one of the burden of their lives on me anymore.

305
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 3: God damned, that's it, isn't it?

306
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 6: Drink Jim, So.

307
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 3: What you're all waiting for. Is that what you're all

308
00:25:52,200 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: waiting for? Oh ah ha ha oh oh oh yeah,

309
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 3: I see.

310
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: It seems uh this is your stuff.

311
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 3: Well hm oh God, damn y'all drink to that. Mhm

312
