1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Whitehead was upset with Moss and accused him of harassing

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: the people at the truck stops. He then forbade Moss

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: from going back to the truck stops when Moss informed

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: him that he was working for the sheriff. Whitehead then

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: described himself as the head law dog in the county,

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: the main man, the wheelhorse, and Moss had to do

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: what he said.

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: Deputy b H.

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 3: Moss set in an unmarked car across the street from

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: the Hillcrest Health Center. We're inside. Joe Whitehead had a

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: bone to pick. It's totally unacceptable the kind of women

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 3: y'all been sending, Joe complained to Aubrey, kicking his feet

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: up on Aubrey's desk. Now, Joe, we do try to

14
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: keep only the best.

15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: He's wont the best.

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: From a beaded doorway a pretty young girl's spide I

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: think I might change your mind, she said to Joe,

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: entering the room, the clinking of the beads singing her arrival.

19
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: Now this one came being in more than sixteen, Aubrey,

20
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 3: I'm nineteen, the girl said, Girls nineteen, Aubrey confirmed. Joe

21
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 3: looked at him curiously and as always too this one's

22
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 3: on the house from a parked car across the street.

23
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: Deputy B. H. Moss chewed on a toothpick and observed

24
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: the Hillcrest. Couldn't see much in the dark, but he

25
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: did recognize a car and the driver loitering in the

26
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: parking lot, Wayne Holly behind the wheel too. It looked

27
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: like Moss raised his spinoculars. Yes, the man was drinking

28
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: a beer. Help he could arrest him on that charge alone,

29
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: but Moss he had bigger fish to fry. Where are

30
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: you from, Joe asked the girl once alone in a

31
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 3: back room. I'm in Florida, Florida, And what brings you here? Well,

32
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: you bring me here, mister me. I heard y'all got

33
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: a good thing going on in Pennsylvania County. It ain't

34
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 3: like that in Florida. We get busted out in Florida.

35
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 3: But us girls, we talk, we do talk. I got

36
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 3: a whole book of girls who can advise me on

37
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: what's what.

38
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: And they say, you're what's what? Mister. Go to Pennsylvania County, Virginia.

39
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: They say, you won't find no trouble in Pennsylvania County.

40
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: Joe couldn't help but smile, despite the concern this raised,

41
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: so his reputation preceded him far and wide.

42
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: His heart pounded, you.

43
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: Court danger too damn much, Wayne had warned him recently.

44
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: I really should stop being so flagrant, Joe thought, wrapping

45
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: his arms around the girl, taking her into his lap.

46
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: He vowed in his heart that he'd cool it soon,

47
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: starting first thing tomorrow.

48
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: After he finished with the girl, he slapped Aubrey on

49
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: the back, called him redeemed, then headed out to the

50
00:03:52,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: parking lot. Thanks for wading, no problem, Joe.

51
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: You didn't want none for yourself, Not tonight, Joe.

52
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: As the two men rolled out of the parking lot

53
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 3: into the dark night on Mount Cross Road, the headlights

54
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 3: of Wayne's Cadillac alighted upon a vehicle parked across the street.

55
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody got no business out here? At three a m.

56
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 3: Joe remarked, That's why I'm trying to get us hume.

57
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 2: Wayne replied, No, not us. Back up, back back up

58
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: into the parking lot. Who's that? Who's what?

59
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 3: Joe?

60
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 2: That man in the car? Turn your brights on, Wayne.

61
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: Holly shone the brights on the car across the street. Inside,

62
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 3: Moss squinted, shielded his eyes with the back of his hand.

63
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: It's goddamn Deputy, Moss.

64
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: Drive by.

65
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: Wayne put the Cadillac into drive, enrolled slowly by Moss.

66
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 3: Joe leaned out the car, smacked his hand hard on

67
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: the side of the door. Hey Moss, I can't believe

68
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: you acknowledge me, Joe. You ought to be hiding. I

69
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: told you, Moss, don't come out here.

70
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: I'd say the same to you, sir.

71
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: Joe smiled. Come on, let's go, Wayne urged. Joe ignored Wayne.

72
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: Now you listen to me, Deputy. I'm the head law

73
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: dog in this county. I'm the main man, and I'm

74
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: the wheelhorse, and you are just a deputy. I will

75
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 3: not have you out here harassing these people. All due respects, sir,

76
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: I worked for the sheriff. Okay, okay, Well go talk

77
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: to your sheriff. Then he'll tell you as good as

78
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: I will, stay away, or you will regret it.

79
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: Wayne. At the gas and off, they sped.

80
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 3: Truck stop brothels run by a web of x cons,

81
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: a commonwealth attorney wasted on whiskey and power protection exchanged

82
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: for cash, fle a.

83
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: Brash local reporter exposing it all.

84
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: This is hookergate criminals and Libertines in the South. And

85
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: I am your host, Doctor Lindsey Byron, author, historian, and

86
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: lifelong wayward woman. This forgotten scandal happened in my hometown.

87
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: Join me as I use crumbling news clippings, interviews, and

88
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: dramatic reenactments to bring to life for the first time

89
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: in nearly fifty years, this wild Ride of hedonistic corruption.

90
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: Episode six. The pressure builds.

91
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 4: Initially, in particular the newspapers in Damble when I started

92
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 4: writing about the prostitution issues, they either didn't report on

93
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: it at all are basically defended the county law enforcement.

94
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 4: So that was tough to deal with about something and

95
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 4: your peers think you're full of it. So it was

96
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 4: difficult to do and it stayed that way for a

97
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: long time. The other news media did not start taking

98
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 4: this seriously until federal government, the Justice Department and panel

99
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: their own federal Grandeury to investigate all this sort of

100
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 4: subpeenion in Alledge people. At that point, my colleagues and

101
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: the news started taking it very seriously. Before that, though,

102
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: it was not in common. I mean I had a

103
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: number of ministers around there who on Sundays would tell

104
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: their congregation fundamentally and don't believe everything you read, which

105
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: is really hard because a lot of people who were

106
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 4: for me were active in those congregations. It's tough for

107
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 4: them to hear. It was a tough time, no question

108
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 4: about it, not only for me, but people associated with me,

109
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,119
Speaker 4: including my family. I had an aunt who in Puslovenia

110
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 4: County brats out of Danville, lovely one a public official

111
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 4: who will remain with cornered or after church, and said,

112
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: you need to talk to that boy up there in

113
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 4: Grettina and tell him to quit right now, all this crap.

114
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: And my aunt said, no way, that's not going to happen.

115
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: If you don't want him to report on it, don't

116
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 4: do it, which I thought was a great line.

117
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: There may have been some talk lately, even some publications

118
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: in the news media, some broadcasting for the purposes of

119
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: gossip and sensationalism, insinuating that some of our leaders here locally,

120
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: and indeed some of our prominence citizens have been engaging

121
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: and shall we say, unsavory behave you're the reverend caution

122
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: from the pulpit, his flock wrapped, except Rodney's children, who

123
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 3: wriggled in the pews matchbox cars in their hands.

124
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 5: I would warn you to withhold your gossip. I would

125
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 5: warn you to retain your judgment. I would warn you

126
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 5: to resist putting easy trust into a media design to

127
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 5: whip up your basis curiosities to sell newspapers. Now, Rodney,

128
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 5: too was wriggling from the pulpit. The reverend looked him

129
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 5: in the eye.

130
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: It's just like your aunt, said, Rodney's wife whispered.

131
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: After the service, the leader of the ladies choir beckoned

132
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 3: her over for a chat.

133
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: Rodney's wife rolled.

134
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: Her eyes, but did her social duty and joined the

135
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 3: gaggle of chatter. As Rodney and his children departed the sanctuary,

136
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: the reverend stopped him at the door, grabbed him gently

137
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: by the arm. You're mad as hell, are you, Rodney,

138
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: the reverend asked.

139
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: Run along. Rodney said to his kids, y'all could play

140
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: on the playground for a little bit.

141
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 3: What's that again, Reverend, I read your article in the gazette, Rodney,

142
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: the one about you being.

143
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: Mad as hell. Ah. Yes, well, you might want to

144
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: be careful, son. Careful. What do you mean by that, Reverend?

145
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: Well, for one thing, gossip isn't godly, son, All due

146
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: respect Reverend, journalism is not gossip, and with all due respect,

147
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: right back, son, But I haven't seen any journalism of

148
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 3: this sword in the Danville Register and be just the

149
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 3: Kretna Gazette. So not all journalists are created equal. Unfortunately,

150
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: Rodney smile he had a self assurance was an act,

151
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: a cloak of protection he wore to shield an anxious heart.

152
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 3: Yes he believed in what he was doing, slowly, methodically,

153
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: carefully uncovering a web of sex, crime and power. Yes

154
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: he believed he would be able to prove every word

155
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 3: he wrote. Yes he believed that this was journalism revealing

156
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: to the people the truth they deserved to know, dismantling corruption,

157
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: not crafting silly stories about UFOs, not dredging up any

158
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: bullshit that he could possibly pass his news. Yes, he

159
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: believed in what he was doing, but he had to

160
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: admit sometimes when his fellow journalists looked the other way.

161
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 3: But he wondered if he was maybe, just maybe wrong

162
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: for what he was doing. Was there something the writers

163
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: at the Register and be knew that he didn't. I

164
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 3: wouldn't want any good names to be smeared as all Rodney.

165
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: Of course, Reverend.

166
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 3: Rodney looked to his children chasing one another around the

167
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: swing set, his heart swelling first with tenderness and then

168
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 3: contracting with fear. What kind of problems could he cause

169
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 3: for these kids? Was it worth it to uncover this truth?

170
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: What consequences might they all face? A disapproving minister could

171
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 3: wield judgment a haughty gaze, But what might a disapproving

172
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: commonwealth attorney wheeled. Rodney's wife, caught still in conversation on

173
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: the sidelines with a yapping choir leader, shot him a

174
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,359
Speaker 3: look that said.

175
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: Get me out of this. You heard me, son, the

176
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: reverend asked, It's.

177
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: Just that I wouldn't want I'm sorry, Reverend, my wife.

178
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: Of course, Rodney see you next Sunday. The reverend dismissed

179
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: him with a wave and a smile. That damn woman

180
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 3: doesn't talk with you, She talks at you, Rodney's wife said,

181
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: exasperated when at last he rescued her from the grasp

182
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: of miss choir.

183
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: So, anyways, what's this about you being mad as hell? Oh,

184
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: that's just a small article I wrote. Why, well, the

185
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 2: women are talking about it. That's why.

186
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: Rodney's wife looked at him suspiciously, but with a smile.

187
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: Nonetheless anyway, she continued, what did the reverend have to say? Oh,

188
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 3: nothing of any interest. Rodney motioned to his children on

189
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: the playground. Come along, now, let's take a boat, he said,

190
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 3: as the family followed him to the car. Launch dan

191
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: view or short sugars, Short sugars.

192
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: The kids cried in Unison.

193
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 6: Did there ever come a time when you talked to

194
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 6: Defendive Whitehead about this arrangement?

195
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, there was.

196
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 6: Okay, could you describe that for us please?

197
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 7: How went by the Hillcrest Health Center, asked mister Henderson

198
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 7: to ride to Chatham with me. We rode to Chatham, Virginia,

199
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 7: went to the Commonwealth Attorney's office, and a lady there

200
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 7: said mister Whitehead was out for the evening at home.

201
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 7: We rode to mister Whitehead's home, knocked on the back door.

202
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 7: Mister Whitehead came to the door and said come in.

203
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 7: We went in the house, went to the kitchen. Mister

204
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 7: Whitehead asked did we care for something to drink? I

205
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 7: said yes, I would. He was at the refrigerator and

206
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 7: he was putting some ice in a glass. Mister Henderson

207
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 7: was standing at the door as he go into the kitchen,

208
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 7: I walked up to the refrigerator. I said in a

209
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 7: low voice that I could not pay three hundred dollars

210
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 7: a week. Business was slow, and I could handle two

211
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 7: hundred a week without any problem. Mister Whitehead hesitated for

212
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 7: a few minutes, and he said, all right, just pay

213
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 7: the two hundred a week. I walked back to the

214
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 7: kitchen door, and mister Henderson went over and talked to

215
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 7: mister Whitehead, and I don't know what they talked about.

216
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 7: The following week, mister Holly came around. I paid two

217
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 7: hundred dollars.

218
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: I've loved you since the day I met you, he

219
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: told her. I have loved you since maybe the third

220
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: or fourth day.

221
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: She smiled back. Harold Wayne took Robin's hand in his.

222
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 2: I'm being serious.

223
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 3: All my life, I've been living in black and white

224
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: and maybe a little gray. You come along and turned

225
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 3: it all technicolor. He lowered himself to one knee. They

226
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 3: were married quickly, nothing too fancy, because Robin didn't want

227
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: to make a spectacle of her good fortune. Secretly, Harold

228
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: Wayne was relieved. Sure business continued to move at a

229
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 3: healthy pace, Yet as the bribes grew, Harold Wayne began

230
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: to feel the pinch. He had wanted to buy himself

231
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 3: a firebird to add to his car collection, had his

232
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: eyes set on just the one, but he'd had to

233
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: scrap that dream. In recent weeks, says, the money going

234
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: out started to outweigh the money coming in.

235
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: I can't hardly.

236
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 3: Support these damn prices, Harold Wayne told the boys, as

237
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 3: the four of them drink coffee in the booth at

238
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 3: the Edgewood Diner.

239
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 2: Hell, none of us can, Aubrey.

240
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: Agreed, I've had to implement additional revenue streams. Tommy complained, well,

241
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: should somebody say something?

242
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: Herbert Boyd piped up say something? Aubrey asked, who who you.

243
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 3: Think ought to say something? Well, I think you and

244
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 3: Harold Wayne ought to say something. Tommy ain't good with words,

245
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 3: and me I ain't that good with words either, So

246
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 3: that leaves you in Harold Wayne.

247
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 2: Aubrey looked at HWD. Hell, I'll do it.

248
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 3: Harold Wayne agreed, even a lot of that in his life,

249
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 3: but a coward won't.

250
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 2: One of them. Aubrey nodded. A date was set.

251
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 3: Three days later, Harold Wayne rode over to the Hillcrest

252
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: to collect his partner in crime. Aubrey stood waiting at

253
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: the door, smoking a Marlborough and thinking through his options.

254
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 3: We just tell him we can't pay it, he told

255
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: HWD as he slid into his passenger seat. He ain't

256
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 3: gonna accept No, we can't pay it. Well, we try

257
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 3: to negotiate. I'm sorry, gentlemen, smiled Joe's secretary as she

258
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 3: opened the heavy door to the law office at the

259
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 3: Commonwealth Attorney. Mister Whitehead's not in. Just now, Hello there,

260
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: Miss MacGregor, Aubrey smiled, and how is Sheriff MacGregor?

261
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 5: Oh?

262
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 2: Fine, just fine.

263
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: She looked over the men's shoulders, searching the street for

264
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: anyone she knew. She wouldn't want this pair to be

265
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 3: seen here. Come on in, she said, and closed the

266
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 3: door quickly behind them. She escorted the men into the lobby,

267
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: then excused herself to her office and picked up the phone. Joe,

268
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: she whispered into the receiver. Two of them truck stop

269
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: boys are here. What should I tell them? Moments later,

270
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: she returned. He said you could come up to his house,

271
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: she reported, eyebrows furrowed. She looked the men up and down.

272
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 3: Just uh, park in the bag. I can't believe he

273
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: has us coming to his damn house. H w D

274
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: said to Aubrey as they rolled behind Joe's homely estate.

275
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: He's off his rocker, Aubrey replied, as the two men

276
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 3: climbed out of the car and smoothed the wrinkles and

277
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 3: their clothing, And that's why we need to be careful

278
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 3: with him. With resolve in their hearts and standing tall,

279
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 3: Aubrey and Harold Wayne wrapped on Joe Whitehead's back door.

280
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: Boys, come on in, Joe beamed. He smiled big, but

281
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: there was a darkness to his aspect. Everything going well.

282
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: He asked the two y'all boys, want some come colas sure?

283
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: The men agreed, and Joe fished two glasses out of

284
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: the cabinet. Thanks for letting us come out here and

285
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: visit with you today, Harold Wayne said. He scanned the kitchen,

286
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: craned his neck to peek down the hallway. Family not home,

287
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: just on an errand is all? Whitehead answered, a WinCE

288
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: flashing across his face. He re ensconced the smile like

289
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 3: a man putting on a mask.

290
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 2: Now, he continued, how might I help you boys?

291
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 3: Harold Wayne was the first to approach Aubrey, gave the

292
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 3: negotiating gentleman his distance.

293
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 2: Any man of culture would do as much.

294
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: Each man took his turn negotiating private pow wows over

295
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 3: Coca colas. Compromises were made, and resentment grew among all involved. Nonetheless, jovially,

296
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 3: they drank iced sodas and exchange small talk. Well, what

297
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,239
Speaker 3: did he have to say to you, Aubrey inquired, if

298
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 3: HWD wants back on the road. He said two hundred

299
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 3: would be all right. I told him I simply couldn't

300
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 3: pay the three. Did he say anything else about anything?

301
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: Who do you mean? Well? He told me to send

302
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: Tommy a message.

303
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: He told me to tell Tommy to get his bitch

304
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 3: in line.

305
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: And get Janet in line. Best of luck to you.

306
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 3: Listen, Harold Wayne, I'm being serious. We can't have none

307
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 3: of these bitches talking ugly to whitehead yours included.

308
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 2: Robin is no bitch, if you say so, Harold Wayne.

309
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 3: Both men laughed. Anyways, Aubrey continued.

310
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: I'll give Tommy a call when we get back.

311
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 3: That's right, And Harold Wayne, what's that allbree? I think

312
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 3: we need to establish one thing here and now.

313
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: And what's that?

314
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: Should anything bad happen, and I mean anything, you call

315
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: me and let me know, all right, and.

316
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 2: You'll do the same. I'll do the same deal. The

317
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: men decided and shook on it. Now, did that.

318
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 6: Come a time when you had a fallen out with Barker?

319
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 3: What do you mean, I've had several of them, all right?

320
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 6: Well, when did you go to the state of Texas?

321
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 3: I don't know the exact day I arrived in the

322
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 3: state of Texas. I've been in just about every state

323
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: in this Union since I've been.

324
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 6: Gone with any particular purpose, mind, Now was one of

325
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 6: those purposes to get away from Tommy Barker.

326
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I am very afraid of Tommy?

327
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 6: Are you free of Tommy?

328
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: He beats me continuously and unmercifully, and I just cannot

329
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 3: take it. They'd only been married a few months when

330
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: shit started to go south. He'd asked her to be

331
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 3: his wife after yet another fight and the post argument afterglow,

332
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 3: when passions run high and the fear of losing one

333
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 3: another takes control, they could hardly stand each other half

334
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 3: the time anymore. He thought she was meddling, She thought

335
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 3: he was profligate. Where once had burned desire, cold ashes,

336
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 3: now remained an office door locked, silence between their bodies.

337
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 3: Contention were once there had been camaraderie. And so he proposed,

338
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: and so she said yes, convinced as many lovers are

339
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 3: that a wedding heals wounds. He never loved her more

340
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 3: than when she was an inch from walking away, and

341
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 3: she felt the same.

342
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 2: Janet was no angel.

343
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 3: She'd committed many a crime, both legal and moral, in

344
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: her day. She didn't think herself above anybody else. Yet

345
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 3: some of the ways Tommy's business was heading lately.

346
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: Didn't sit right with her.

347
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: She knew he was pressed, knew he was stressed, had

348
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: installed a new security system, heavy locks, paranoid peering out

349
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 3: the blinds, and it seemed every Wednesday the Lord sent

350
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 3: here came Old Wayne Holly Palms itchy for his cut.

351
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 3: Do you know that man just took my whole prophets

352
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 3: in one fell swoop? Tommy complained one Wednesday. These big shots,

353
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you, they do none of the work

354
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 3: and get all of the glory. Sometimes, however, Janet saw

355
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 3: things a little differently. Sometimes she looked at Tommy and thought,

356
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 3: but from where I sit, my love you, you.

357
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 2: Are one of the big shots.

358
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 3: It was another slow night at the twenty nine when

359
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 3: a young man entered the building. Tanita, who had been

360
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 3: napping again at the bar, popped her head up joyfully

361
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 3: at the sight of him and bound it to the man, wrapping.

362
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: Him in a hug. Y'all in a room.

363
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 3: Janet asked the pair, Oh, no, Tnita answered, this is

364
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 3: my boyfriend.

365
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: Don't you remember you met him when you come pick

366
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 2: me up that night.

367
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 3: Janet studied the man's face, clear eyes, skin fresh and young. Sure, yes,

368
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: I remember him well, Tanita said, he's here to talk

369
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: to Tommy.

370
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: Is the thing.

371
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 3: Janet looked the young man in the eyes. What business

372
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: do you have with mister Barker? With all due respect, ma'am,

373
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: I'd say that's between us. The office door swung open,

374
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 3: and in the doorway stood Tommy. Come on in, he

375
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: called out. The young man sauntered into Tommy's office, and

376
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 3: just a few minutes later, the young man sauntered out,

377
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 3: leaving the twenty nine with Tanita on his arm. Janet

378
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 3: stormed into the office and cornered her husband.

379
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: Just a wheeling and dealing in here. Ain't you watch

380
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: the attitude? Janet?

381
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: What was that man in here? For Why did he

382
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: take to needle with him? She's his girlfriend, for Christ's sake,

383
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 3: she wants to go with him?

384
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: How am I supposed to know?

385
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 3: You pretty much balled Brianna from that son of a

386
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: bitch that's kidnapped her child. Cool your jets, baby, I

387
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 3: did nothing of the sort. Tommy sat down in his

388
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: chair and spun to face his desk. He pulled from

389
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: his pocket a back filled with pills and began to

390
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 3: divide them into piles. What the hell, Tommy, it's just

391
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 3: nerve pills, Janet. Everybody takes them, and what you're selling them?

392
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 3: He shook his head out, done with the woman's questions.

393
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: Is that what that boy was in here for? Tommy?

394
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: He counted the pills into piles. Is it? Please? Janet,

395
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: get back to work.

396
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: I knew you were a goddamn womanizer and a horrormonger.

397
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: She said, approaching his desk.

398
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 3: I knew you had once been a thief, and I

399
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 3: knew you had always been a swindler.

400
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: But this is a bridge too far. Tommy's eyelid jumped. Janet.

401
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: Please back to work. Work. What do you know about work?

402
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: You just sit here and divide up women? And pills.

403
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: She leaned over his desk, her face inches from his own.

404
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 3: His eyelid jumped again. You should be ashamed of yourself,

405
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 3: she said. All the risks he had taken, the schemes

406
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 3: he plodded, the blows to his pride he'd endured, bending

407
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 3: to the will of some other man, some rich man

408
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 3: who called all the shots.

409
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: How did Janet think he was going to make these payments,

410
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: fulfill these bribes?

411
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 3: She didn't want to date Joe Tommy had allowed that

412
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 3: brought her up from the back room to the lobby.

413
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: Still the money you must be paid. Still, the money

414
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 2: must be paid.

415
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 3: Every week, Here comes Holly every week, another suspicious vehicle

416
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 3: part in the vicinity. Did she know the cost of

417
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 3: doing business? Did she understand what was at stake? Was

418
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: she on her back to pay these debts? No, not anymore.

419
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: And so Tommy found other ways. He looked for other opportunities.

420
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 3: When an old friend introduced him to black market pharmaceuticals

421
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: and low rate dealers like Tanita's gentleman call her were

422
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 3: ready to buy, well, Tommy found a way.

423
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Tommy felt sometimes that.

424
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 3: There'd be no end to finding ways, And yet he

425
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: should be ashamed he should be ashamed, He should be ashamed.

426
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: You should be ashamed of yourself.

427
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: Janet repeated, and with that, Tommy hauled off and slapped

428
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 3: her in the face.

429
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,280
