1 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: You know that it takes two people to make a prostitute. 2 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: You can't lay all the blame on the woman. You 3 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: can't do it. 4 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: A young reporter drove his family from the nation's capital 5 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 2: to a small town about four hours south, his wife beside. 6 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 3: Him, his children in the back. 7 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 2: Rodney had a family to support, a woman who believed 8 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 2: in him, who followed him on his wild journeys, sweet 9 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: little kids with chubby smiles that pierced his heart with 10 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: the reminder, there. 11 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: Is more than yourself to think of here. 12 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: You promised this wife that you can make it as 13 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: a writer anywhere. You promised her this move would be 14 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 2: worth it. You owe this family everything. No one owes 15 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: you anything, and yet they've given freely their patience, their faith, 16 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: cooked dinners kept. 17 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 3: Warm in the oven. 18 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: I love you, daddies, even as your mind spun into stories, 19 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: copy headlines, be present with these children. 20 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 3: Give a good life to this wife. 21 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: There were imperatives more important than your down career, Rodney thought, 22 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: and yet nonetheless he drove on metropolitan streets, spinning into 23 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 2: fields of tobacco. Rodney needed to make this work, after all, 24 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: he thought. He also had himself to whom he owed. 25 00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 3: Quite a bit. 26 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: Couldn't forget about that guy, hard working kid, a dreamer, 27 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: a risk taker. You should be a writer, his high 28 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: school English teacher told him once. He never forgot that, 29 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: and so over the weeks to come, he'd set up 30 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: shop in that small office in that small town. 31 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 3: He let his. 32 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 2: View of the cows in the field inspire him. Each 33 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: one of those bovines had a different set of spots, 34 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 2: a different story. Hell, maybe they even had feelings. Probably did. 35 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 3: After some time. Rodney even had. 36 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: Little names for his favorites, could identify them by a 37 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 2: flip of ear or turn of tail. You could make 38 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: a story about almost anything if you only looked at 39 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: it in the right way. 40 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 3: See. 41 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: That was the thing people miss about his line of work, 42 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: his field of art. 43 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: They think it's. 44 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: All bald reportage, a mere recitation of facts that any 45 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: willing party could pen. They don't know that the writer 46 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: is a photographer of moments, a seer of meaning in 47 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: scenes others find. Mundane Rodney could find a story and 48 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: just about anything. When I spoke to him in early 49 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, he told me about one such occurrence. 50 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 4: It's flow news week. A couple of people walk in 51 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 4: the office and started telling me this story about one 52 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 4: guy had been a intelligence officer during World War Two. 53 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 4: He was driving from great to Danville, noticed this kind 54 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 4: of emotional in the side of the road, stops walk 55 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 4: over the little hill. There's a flying saucer. So he 56 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: goes into great detail about this, and I, of course 57 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 4: thinking meticulous notes after he finished it, I was thinking 58 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 4: very much. I think, wow, out of entything. And you 59 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 4: start calling people, and the number of people that have 60 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 4: heard this story was phenomenal. Wrote the story and we 61 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 4: used to put parts of a flying saucer. We got 62 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 4: a huge reaction to it. 63 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: As yet another lady at church inquired about that, UFO 64 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 2: Rodney thought, well, the types of stories I cover out 65 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 2: here in the country might look a little different than 66 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: the high stakes drama I covered in Washington, But well, 67 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: I might just like it that way. You wouldn't find 68 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: any Greek tragedies or epic intrigue out here in the boondocks, 69 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 2: but if you could, Rodney would be the man to 70 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: find it. Truck shot brothels run by a web of 71 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 2: X cons, a Commonwealth attorney wasted on whiskey and power 72 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: protection exchanged for cash, flesh, a brash. 73 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 3: Local reporter exposing it all. 74 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: This is hookergate, criminals and libertines in the South, And 75 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: I am your hosts, Doctor Lindsey Byron, author, historian, and 76 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 2: lifelong wayward woman. This forgotten scandal happened in my hometown. 77 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 2: Join me as I use crumbling news clippings, interviews, and 78 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 2: dramatic reenactments to bring to life for the first time 79 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 2: in nearly fifty years, this wild ride of hedonistic corruption. 80 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: Episode two. This woman was different. In a twenty nineteen 81 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: article for The Atlantic entitled The Reinvention of Danville, author 82 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: James Fallow describes the region that would play host to 83 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 2: juicier dramas than Rodney could have yet foreseen. Danville is 84 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: a major city within Pennsylvania County. Fallow rights. In its day, 85 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: it was one of the richest places in the Piedmont 86 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: area and a major center of first the tobacco and 87 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: then the textile industries. Danville was also, for a one 88 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: week period in April eighteen sixty five, the final capital 89 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: of the Confederacy, with implications down to the present. By 90 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 2: the mid twentieth century, Danville and the surrounding area clutched 91 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 2: still to its Confederate roots. However, another major source of 92 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 2: identity came from the local textile mill, a global industry leader. 93 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: The Great White Mill, with its glowing red letters, looms 94 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: over the memories of my childhood home of dan River Mills. 95 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: Those letters burned into the night, reflecting on the dark 96 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: water below home. The mill's influence was wide ranging and profound. 97 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: Fallow rights businesses in the area discouraged higher education and 98 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: brought in workers straight out of public schools. 99 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 3: I admit we are backward. 100 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 2: You'll remember local court clerk Samuel Swanson conceded at the 101 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: time of the federal indictment in nineteen seventy seven. We've 102 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: never had to progress. For those looking from the outside end, 103 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: this backwardsness found its source not in issues of class, education, 104 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: or labor, but rather in the area's conservatism and religiosity. 105 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: Danville's nickname, after all, is the city of Churches. While 106 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: researching Hooker Gate, I interviewed lifelong Pennsylvania County citizen Frankie Jones, 107 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: whose father, Austin Jones, served on the grand jury that 108 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: would ultimately indict the major players of the Hooker Gates scandal. 109 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: Frankie told me about a time in which his father 110 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 2: was confronted by a national reporter regarding the character of 111 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: the place we all called home. 112 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 5: He had a Washington Post rapport lady come up to him, 113 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 5: middle Gatherine, when he was stayed vice president of Jin 114 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 5: Association Realtors, and she said, where are you from? He said, Dan, Well, 115 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 5: he should? May I ask you a question? Awfully? She sure? 116 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 5: She said, why y'all so down conservative down there? He said, 117 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 5: you're letting him will tell you something. He said, you 118 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 5: weren't born in a depression, He said, back then we 119 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 5: didn't have wealth out apartment at the church? Was we 120 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 5: have wealth out apartment? 121 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 2: Here in the Bible belt where conservatism and old time 122 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: religion retained its hold on the area's sense of self. 123 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: The brothels seemed to have functioned as the localities id 124 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: the outlet for the repressed desires and needs of a 125 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 2: people otherwise busy with church socials. 126 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 5: The big shot in dan Will was Barker. I can't 127 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 5: remember his first name, but Tom Barker. He ran to 128 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 5: Danbell operation. 129 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 6: Now, mister Barker, what contact did you have with Herold, 130 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 6: Wayne Downing, Herbert Owen Boyd and Aubrahad Just during the 131 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 6: years nineteen seventy four to nineteen seventy seven. 132 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: Wow, Janet worked at those for them, and. 133 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 7: She was your wife during much of that period.

You are so smart, He kissed 179 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 2: her temple so strong he stamped out the joint and 180 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 2: climbed on top of her again. He would never get 181 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 2: his fill of this woman. Many women had come his way, 182 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: many had laid in this bed. When he first asked 183 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 2: Janet for her number, after weeks of tipping her heavy 184 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 2: for coffee and pie, he figured, well, she'd just be 185 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 2: another notch on the bedpost. But something about her was different, 186 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: something about the way she popped her bubblegum while she 187 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: busied herself around that diner, head high and unaffected by 188 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 2: the stairs of interested men, and drove him mad with desire. 189 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 2: And he he was different too. Three weeks had passed 190 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: since they first kissed, made love, and professed undying devotion, 191 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: all in the same night. Her body ached from the 192 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: now frequent acceptance of him, a big man in always 193 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 2: mind blowing a primal sign of a king. Janet was 194 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: in love. I can do anything, she promised him. Nos 195 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:44,359 Speaker 2: to nose Anything in life worth having, she knew required 196 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 2: some sacrifice. Ain't nothing for free, not this man, not 197 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: this love, and certainly not the rent. I know that's right, 198 00:14:54,280 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 2: he agreed. After they finished their second round, Tommy picked 199 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 2: up the phone. 200 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: Hey, herb, I got a girl for y'all. 201 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: Do you remember when Robin arrived from Chicago? Mister Dowdy 202 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: I don't remember the exact month. 203 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 8: It was in seventy five. 204 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: No one introduced you at all, did they? 205 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 2: No? 206 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: They did not? 207 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: All? 208 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: Right, where did you meet her? 209 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 8: It is truck stop? 210 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 2: Was she a. 211 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: Working girl at that time? 212 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 7: She was a prostitute who employed her? 213 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 3: I did. 214 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: He'd spent his life loving Southern women, indeed extolling their virtues. 215 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: A Southern woman would cook for you, clean for you, 216 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: take care of your needs, and do it all with 217 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: a slow, sweet drawl. Yet there was something about this 218 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: woman's accent, the clipped vowels, the quick harshness of her cadence. 219 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 3: That turned Harold Wayne into Mush. 220 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: Into mush A man like him impossible, but this woman. 221 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 3: Was different. Where are you from? 222 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: He asked, leaning across the counter. He had a rule 223 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: about dating working girls, and anyways, he wasn't exactly a 224 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 2: free man. Robin ignored him, staring instead at her nails, 225 00:16:50,880 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 2: which she filed. Harold Wayne cleared his throat, where you're from? 226 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 2: She didn't look up, and she responded, I'm here in 227 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: this truck stop now, So what does it matter where 228 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 2: I'm from? 229 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 3: Ah? A quick witted one. 230 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: An attitude like that might not get you far. The 231 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 2: young woman stopped her filing and met his gaze. 232 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 3: I have gotten quite far, exactly as I am. 233 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: She answered, and returned to her manicure. And by the way, 234 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: she added, without looking up, Chicago. 235 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 3: I'm from Chicago. 236 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: Ah, Chicago. That's why she was so disarmingly unmannered. Your 237 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: accent is beautiful, he dared. How, why, what the hell 238 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 2: was the reason that this woman made him nervous. 239 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 3: That's why I don't hear often, she responded. 240 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,719 Speaker 2: These good old boys down south are prejudiced against Northerners. 241 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 3: Folks say they can't understand me. 242 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: Well, the feeling's mutual, honey, some of these gobs can 243 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 2: be stupid or if the heads was cut. 244 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 3: Off At this, the young woman laughed. 245 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 2: Flashed him at last that sligrint that would addict him 246 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 2: for years to come. I'm Robin, she told him. Harold 247 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 2: Wayne was used to lining him up and knocking him down. 248 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: A salesman by trade and by heart, the man could 249 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 2: charm the most aloof on available woman. Hell, he seduced 250 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,239 Speaker 2: a score of premium chickadees under his employment in just 251 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 2: the short time he'd been running this scheme. But something 252 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 2: about the upward tilt of Robin's chin and the knowing 253 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 2: in her eyes told Harold Wayne that this one was 254 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 2: gonna be a challenge. How long you been working here, 255 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 2: he asked, Well, hell, you ought to know, mister Dowdy. 256 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: You run the place, sure, but I don't have no everything. 257 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 2: Phillis takes care of hiring sometimes. 258 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 3: Phillips is she her old lady. H W D cleared 259 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 3: his throat again. Are you a new to this line 260 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 3: of work? 261 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 2: I am not, in fact, mister Dowdy, I've probably been 262 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 2: in this game longer than you. Please call me Harold Wayne, 263 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 2: thing Harold Wayne, and you're too. 264 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 3: Young to have been in any game longer than me. 265 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: I might be young, she answered, but only if you 266 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: were using the metric of time. By other metrics, I 267 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 2: am quite old. Harold Wayne, of course, was the old one. 268 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 2: At forty, he was fully twice Robin's age. Yet he 269 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 2: too was only his age when using the metric of time, 270 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 2: because otherwise he was as youthful as any young boh. 271 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 3: Okay, old soul. Where else have you worked? 272 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: I have traveled all over the country. 273 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 3: Well, can you give me a few examples? 274 00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 2: Indiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Virginia, Tennessee, Illinois. That's a whole lot 275 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: of moving around, Yes, sir, sure is. 276 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 3: Please none of this sir stuff. 277 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 2: As Harold Wayne leaned over the counter, asking questions one 278 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 2: by one to unravel the mystery of this smart mouthed 279 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 2: young lady, a smile grew beneath that thick black mustache 280 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 2: of his. What music did she lay? What books did 281 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 2: she enjoy? Where was her family? With each inquiry she 282 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: opened further. The bus ride from Chicago had been a 283 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 2: long one. Robin hadn't had the funds for a flight 284 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 2: on that bus trip. She'd con at a plan to 285 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 2: make so much money that she'd never have to take 286 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 2: a bus again. People really thought this line of work 287 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: consisted simply of lying on one's back, a feat any 288 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: willing woman could accomplish. What they didn't know was that 289 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 2: the working girl was a psychologist, storyteller, actress, and living 290 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 2: work of art at the same down time. These men 291 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: don't just walk in the back with any old gal. 292 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 2: You got to examine them, understand them, find out what 293 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 2: tempts them. Then, having gathered the data, a working girl 294 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 2: must then become that thing he desires, if only for 295 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: an hour, if only for ten minutes, sorcery, magic, artistry, 296 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: obscure yourself and become a fantasy. Do not underestimate a 297 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 2: woman like me, thought Robin. The world would never pat 298 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 2: her on the back for her success, snape charming, and. 299 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 3: Yet sometimes she longed for a pat on the back. 300 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 3: She was, after all human. 301 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 2: A customer stumbled into the lobby and tripped over the 302 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: leg of a barstool. Robin looked to Hwd. He met 303 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 2: her gaze. Don't worry about him. I'd rather you spend 304 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 2: the time talking right here with me. When she looked 305 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 2: concerned by that suggestion, her mind adding and subtracting the 306 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 2: sum she'd counted on that long bus ride here, Harold 307 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 2: Wayne reassured her, I'll. 308 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 3: Pay you for your time right own pocket. You simply 309 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 3: fascinate me. 310 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 6: Now, what we are trying to prove, and what we 311 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 6: expect to prove, is this that these operators, Now I 312 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 6: am going to call them operators, doubt it. Barker, Henderson, 313 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 6: and Boyd utilized inner state facilities such as airports, bus terminals, 314 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 6: and telephone to further their prostitution activities. In addition, they 315 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 6: actually traveled in the state themselves to promote and manage 316 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 6: the interest of these houses of prostitution. 317 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 2: The street lights sped by reflected in the lenses of 318 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 2: Buckeye's glasses. 319 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 3: Look for my girlfriend when you land, Tommy had told 320 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 3: her over the phone. Should be the pretty one in 321 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 3: the white tank waving out to car One. 322 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 2: Day, a short flight from Ohio to North Carolina, and 323 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 2: Buckeye was in the back seat of a sedan with 324 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: two strangers, crossing the state line into Virginia. The man 325 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: had promised to take care of her, but she was 326 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 2: a kid and scared what might be the consequences of 327 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 2: her impulsive recklessness. Why did she convince her friend to 328 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: make that call?
