193

00:
13:24,560 -- 00:13:25,993

These rumors...

194

00:
13:26,360 -- 00:13:27,918

...are not exaggerated.

195

00:
15:24,720 -- 00:15:26,870

Somebody call a doctor!

196

00:
15:33,320 -- 00:15:35,151

You weren't in here tonight, were you?

197

00:
15:35,240 -- 00:15:36,355

No, no, sir.

198

00:
15:36,560 -- 00:15:37,913

Go out the back way.

199

00:
15:38,000 -- 00:15:40,150

Somebody call a doctor!

200

00:
15:44,120 -- 00:15:45,712

Tearing everything down.

201

00:
15:45,800 -- 00:15:50,237

Our heritage, the memory of the people

who fought and died for this land.

202

00:
15:50,320 -- 00:15:52,675

We fought and died for this land too.

203

00:
15:52,880 -- 00:15:55,110

We fought the U.S. Army,

the Texas Rangers--

204

00:
15:55,200 -- 00:15:56,679

Yeah, and you lost.

205

00:
15:57,320 -- 00:15:59,436

Winners get the bragging rights.

206

00:
15:59,680 -- 00:16:04,310

People. It'd be best if we don't view this

in terms of winners and losers.

207

00:
16:04,400 -- 00:16:07,119

The way she teaches,

she's got everything backward.

208

00:
16:07,200 -- 00:16:09,839

I was on the textbook committee.

Her version--

209

00:
16:10,240 -- 00:16:11,389

We think of the textbook...

210

00:
16:11,480 -- 00:16:13,516

...as a guide, not as an absolute.

211

00:
16:13,640 -- 00:16:16,234

It is not what we set as the standard.

212

00:
16:17,760 -- 00:16:20,399

Now, you people can believe

whatever you want...

213

00:
16:20,480 -- 00:16:22,152

...but when it comes to teaching--

214

00:
16:22,240 -- 00:16:26,199

They're our children too. As the majority

in this community, we have the right.

215

00:
16:26,280 -- 00:16:31,070

The men who founded this state

have the right to have their story told.

216

00:
16:31,280 -- 00:16:33,669

The men who founded this state

broke from Mexico.

217

00:
16:33,760 -- 00:16:37,389

They needed slavery to be legal

to make a fortune in the cotton business.

218

00:
16:37,480 -- 00:16:39,994

I think that's a bit of an oversimplification.

219

00:
16:40,080 -- 00:16:43,516

-You reporting or running this meeting?

-Adding some historical perspective.

220

00:
16:43,600 -- 00:16:45,795

You call it history, I call it propaganda.

221

00:
16:45,880 -- 00:16:49,634

I'm sure they've got their own account

of the Alamo on the other side...

222

00:
16:49,920 -- 00:16:52,718

...but our schools shouldn't teach it

that way.

223

00:
16:52,880 -- 00:16:53,915

Excuse me.

224

00:
16:54,400 -- 00:16:59,190

I've only been trying to get across part

of the complexity of our situation here.

225

00:
16:59,920 -- 00:17:04,311

Cultures coming together

in both negative and positive ways.

226

00:
17:04,680 -- 00:17:07,592

If you mean food and music and all,

I have no problem.

227

00:
17:08,480 -- 00:17:09,959

But when you start changing...

228

00:
17:10,040 -- 00:17:11,314

...who did what to who--

229

00:
17:11,400 -- 00:17:14,676

We're just trying to present

a more complete picture.

230

00:
17:15,040 -- 00:17:16,712

That's what's got to stop!

231

00:
17:16,880 -- 00:17:21,112

There's enough ignorance in the world

without us encouraging it in school.

232

00:
17:21,680 -- 00:17:24,240

Now, who are you calling ignorant?

233

00:
17:24,440 -- 00:17:27,079

I hope the sucker dies.

Mess with me, that's what you get.

234

00:
17:27,160 -- 00:17:29,116

Hospital says the kid is in bad shape.

235

00:
17:29,200 -- 00:17:30,474

The shooter local?

236

00:
17:30,560 -- 00:17:33,438

Houston. I think he knew the girl

from before.

237

00:
17:33,760 -- 00:17:36,957

We'll take a statement from the GI's

before they go back to post.

238

00:
17:37,040 -- 00:17:39,474

You can get the story from Otis.

239

00:
17:40,040 -- 00:17:42,600

Any poop on the John Doe

we found today?

240

00:
17:42,880 -- 00:17:46,873

No, nothing much.

Rangers put Ben Wetzel on it.

241

00:
17:47,320 -- 00:17:48,753

I'll catch you later.

242

00:
17:59,960 -- 00:18:02,349

He's only 15. He's about 5 foot 5--

243

00:
18:02,520 -- 00:18:03,475

Pilar.

244

00:
18:06,160 -- 00:18:07,434

Something wrong?

245

00:
18:07,680 -- 00:18:09,113

They've got my son.

246

00:
18:09,280 -- 00:18:10,156

Here?

247

00:
18:10,320 -- 00:18:15,030

Somebody called about a house that was

broken into. They say they don't have--

248

00:
18:15,840 -- 00:18:18,035

All right, I know what he looks like.

249

00:
18:18,160 -- 00:18:19,798

I'll see what's going on.

250

00:
18:22,800 -- 00:18:23,949

I was....

251

00:
18:26,280 -- 00:18:28,919

I was real sorry about Nando.

252

00:
18:31,800 -- 00:18:33,358

He was a good fella.

253

00:
18:37,400 -- 00:18:38,719

We haven't talked--

254

00:
18:38,800 -- 00:18:40,916

We haven't talked since high school.

255

00:
18:44,240 -- 00:18:45,878

I'll go check on your boy.

256

00:
18:49,200 -- 00:18:52,875

Ritchie didn't say nothing,

'cause he didn't want to get in it.

257

00:
18:53,200 -- 00:18:57,239

Then, next thing I know

there's shots and Ritchie's down.

258

00:
18:59,240 -- 00:19:01,196

You got some boys you run in earlier?

259

00:
19:03,800 -- 00:19:06,598

They tell me you're good at fixing things.

260

00:
19:12,240 -- 00:19:14,629

Your father was a hell of a mechanic.

261

00:
19:19,160 -- 00:19:21,628

You know, if you figure minimum wage...

262

00:
19:21,720 -- 00:19:24,280

...on the time most thieves spend in jail...

263

00:
19:24,480 -- 00:19:27,358

...they could have bought

most everything they stole.

264

00:
19:27,840 -- 00:19:31,116

They asked me to hook it up for them.

I didn't steal anything.

265

00:
19:31,680 -- 00:19:33,716

Well, I didn't say you did.

266

00:
19:36,000 -- 00:19:38,070

My name's Sam, by the way.

267

00:
19:40,840 -- 00:19:42,751

-He's all yours.

-Are you okay?

268

00:
19:42,920 -- 00:19:44,831

What's the big deal?

269

00:
19:44,920 -- 00:19:46,717

You'll find out when I get you home.

270

00:
19:47,280 -- 00:19:48,395

Thanks, Sam.

271

00:
19:48,720 -- 00:19:50,233

It's no problem.

272

00:
19:52,640 -- 00:19:54,153

It was good seeing you again.

273

00:
20:20,280 -- 00:20:23,511

Big O's is the only place

where African American soldiers...

274

00:
20:23,600 -- 00:20:25,352

...feel comfortable, sir.

275

00:
20:25,520 -- 00:20:28,751

-Have we had trouble there before?

-Fistfight now and then.

276

00:
20:28,840 -- 00:20:31,479

-This town isn't much.

-They didn't come for a vacation.

277

00:
20:31,560 -- 00:20:35,712

For many, it's their first time away

from home, dealing with new people....

278

00:
20:36,040 -- 00:20:38,235

-I remember my first hitch--

-Substance abuse?

279

00:
20:38,320 -- 00:20:41,073

Yes, sir, but I went through the program.

I haven't drunk--

280

00:
20:41,160 -- 00:20:43,799

I meant on the post.

How are you dealing with it?

281

00:
20:43,880 -- 00:20:46,474

We throw a urine test at them

once a month.

282

00:
20:46,800 -- 00:20:48,199

Random numbers...

283

00:
20:48,360 -- 00:20:50,191

...maybe 100 people at a time.
