Lone Star Page #6

474

00:
32:25,800 -- 00:32:29,554

...make sure all the colored come to vote,

throw a barbecue for the right folks....

475

00:
32:29,640 -- 00:32:31,949

Sheriff Buddy kept to his word.

476

00:
32:32,560 -- 00:32:34,437

That Sheriff Wade, though...

477

00:
32:35,600 -- 00:32:37,158

...he could get ugly.

478

00:
32:38,520 -- 00:32:40,078

People didn't complain?

479

00:
32:41,040 -- 00:32:43,270

Not if you was colored or Mexican.

480

00:
32:43,480 -- 00:32:45,550

Not if you wanted to keep breathing.

481

00:
32:45,800 -- 00:32:48,997

I remember the last time I seen him

before he gone missing.

482

00:
32:49,080 -- 00:32:51,275

He come fussing around our place.

483

00:
32:51,600 -- 00:32:54,194

He used to come in

whilst we was in full swing.

484

00:
32:54,840 -- 00:32:57,070

iMaking everybody nervous./i

485

00:
32:57,400 -- 00:33:00,198

iHad him a smile like the Grim Reaper./i

486

00:
33:00,720 -- 00:33:03,632

iHe used to sit there/i

iwith his hand on his old gun.../i

487

00:
33:03,720 -- 00:33:06,359

i...acting the kingfish with everybody./i

488

00:
33:10,200 -- 00:33:11,428

iOtis Payne come.../i

489

00:
33:11,520 -- 00:33:13,670

i...to work for us about that time.../i

490

00:
33:15,000 -- 00:33:18,310

i...and that boy had him some attitude./i

491

00:
33:37,520 -- 00:33:38,475

Pour it.

492

00:
33:39,920 -- 00:33:40,875

What?

493

00:
33:41,520 -- 00:33:42,475

Pour it.

494

00:
33:54,440 -- 00:33:55,475

I know you?

495

00:
33:55,560 -- 00:33:56,754

Name's Otis.

496

00:
33:57,720 -- 00:33:58,914

Otis what?

497

00:
34:00,560 -- 00:34:01,549

Payne.

498

00:
34:02,520 -- 00:34:03,873

They call me ''O.''

499

00:
34:05,040 -- 00:34:06,632

One of Cleroe Payne's boys?

500

00:
34:08,320 -- 00:34:10,390

I sent your daddy to the farm once.

501

00:
34:12,080 -- 00:34:13,399

Yeah, I know that.

502

00:
34:13,840 -- 00:34:15,432

Why you think that was?

503

00:
34:17,160 -- 00:34:20,391

Some crop needed picking

and the man was short-handed.

504

00:
34:21,760 -- 00:34:25,036

As I remember, it was 'cause

he had a sassy mouth on him.

505

00:
34:25,200 -- 00:34:26,599

Must run in the family.

506

00:
34:27,760 -- 00:34:30,194

You wouldn't be running numbers

out of this club?

507

00:
34:32,160 -- 00:34:34,196

Running numbers is illegal, sir.

508

00:
34:34,440 -- 00:34:38,513

Running numbers without I knowin'

about it is both illegal and unhealthy.

509

00:
34:38,880 -- 00:34:40,233

You remember that.

510

00:
34:42,360 -- 00:34:43,998

Son, you're not finished.

511

00:
34:44,240 -- 00:34:45,309

Pour his.

512

00:
34:46,000 -- 00:34:47,319

I prefer it in the bottle.

513

00:
34:47,400 -- 00:34:48,719

Shut up, Hollis.

514

00:
34:54,760 -- 00:34:56,432

How come you don't look familiar?

515

00:
34:57,040 -- 00:34:58,917

I've been away, up in Houston.

516

00:
34:59,720 -- 00:35:00,709

Houston?

517

00:
35:00,960 -- 00:35:03,394

I hear they let you boys run wild up there.

518

00:
35:04,200 -- 00:35:05,838

Look what you've done now.

519

00:
35:06,120 -- 00:35:08,395

Better get something to wipe it up, son.

520

00:
35:12,800 -- 00:35:15,234

You spilled it.

Maybe you should wipe it up.

521

00:
35:22,920 -- 00:35:26,913

I told you to do something. Will you hop

to it or will we have a problem?

522

00:
35:30,280 -- 00:35:33,113

You don't want to turn tail

in front of your people?

523

00:
35:33,200 -- 00:35:34,519

I understand.

524

00:
35:38,440 -- 00:35:40,670

Come on, Houston, give it a try.

525

00:
35:41,160 -- 00:35:42,354

Come to Papa.

526

00:
35:44,640 -- 00:35:45,868

Don't mind him.

527

00:
35:45,960 -- 00:35:49,555

He's a bit slow, is all.

He don't mean nothing by it.

528

00:
35:50,680 -- 00:35:52,193

That the problem, son?

529

00:
35:52,480 -- 00:35:53,469

You slow?

530

00:
35:54,440 -- 00:35:55,156

Otis!

531

00:
35:56,000 -- 00:35:57,479

Apologize to the sheriff.

532

00:
35:59,800 -- 00:36:02,439

Sheriff, you got him too scared to peep.

533

00:
36:03,240 -- 00:36:05,151

Maybe if you'd put that gun up.

534

00:
36:05,720 -- 00:36:07,073

You telling me what to do?

535

00:
36:07,160 -- 00:36:08,878

No, Sheriff, I'm just....

536

00:
36:09,000 -- 00:36:10,592

Is that whisky in them glasses?

537

00:
36:12,720 -- 00:36:15,712

I'll have to cite you

for violation of a state law.

538

00:
36:16,200 -- 00:36:18,589

This is a club, Sheriff. You've been here.

539

00:
36:19,000 -- 00:36:21,560

You people better clear out of here now!

540

00:
36:29,960 -- 00:36:31,996

Learn how to act your place, son.

541

00:
36:33,640 -- 00:36:35,039

This isn't Houston.

542

00:
36:39,520 -- 00:36:41,909

'Course, I was young...

543

00:
36:42,880 -- 00:36:44,791

...and full of beans back then.

544

00:
36:45,920 -- 00:36:49,993

I didn't understand the spot

I was putting Roderick in.

545

00:
36:56,120 -- 00:36:58,953

And that was the last time you saw him?

546

00:
37:00,600 -- 00:37:03,160

I think he came in one more time...

547

00:
37:04,480 -- 00:37:06,152

...with Hollis and....

548

00:
37:06,720 -- 00:37:08,836

No, no, your daddy wasn't with him.

549

00:
37:09,080 -- 00:37:11,150

Made their monthly pickup.

550

00:
37:11,840 -- 00:37:16,152

Roderick wasn't in, so I kept my mouth

shut and handed over that envelope.

551

00:
37:17,360 -- 00:37:19,078

That was the night he disappeared?

552

00:
37:21,440 -- 00:37:22,714

Could have been.

553

00:
37:30,120 -- 00:37:31,348

You own a gun?

554

00:
37:32,480 -- 00:37:33,356

Back then?

555

00:
37:34,240 -- 00:37:35,275

No.

556

00:
37:36,600 -- 00:37:37,715

How about Roderick?

557

00:
37:38,520 -- 00:37:39,748

Oh, he kept...

558

00:
37:41,120 -- 00:37:45,432

...a big old piece back behind the bar,

just so folks knew it was there.

559

00:
37:46,400 -- 00:37:48,311

I don't keep one here now.

560

00:
37:49,000 -- 00:37:50,797

Don't much care for them.

561

00:
37:52,360 -- 00:37:54,271

And when my father was sheriff?

562

00:
37:54,560 -- 00:37:55,549

What about him?

563

00:
37:55,800 -- 00:37:57,472

What was your deal with him?

564

00:
38:03,400 -- 00:38:06,119

Buddy was more part of the big picture:

565

00:
38:07,400 -- 00:38:09,436

County political machine...

566

00:
38:10,120 -- 00:38:12,680

...Chamber of Commerce, zoning Board....

567

00:
38:14,280 -- 00:38:17,955

If I kept those people happy,

he was pretty much on my side.

568

00:
38:18,400 -- 00:38:23,076

When somebody thought of starting up

a new bar for the black folks, they'd be....

569

00:
38:24,960 -- 00:38:26,712

How should I say this?

570

00:
38:27,120 -- 00:38:29,475

They'd be officially discouraged.

571

00:
38:31,120 -- 00:38:33,031

He ever accept cash for a favor?

572

00:
38:40,600 -- 00:38:43,910

I don't recall a prisoner ever died...

573

00:
38:44,320 -- 00:38:46,231

...in your daddy's custody.

574

00:
38:47,680 -- 00:38:49,875

I don't recall a man in this county...

575

00:
38:50,080 -- 00:38:52,116

...black, white, Mexican...
