1
00:00:34,588 --> 00:00:38,050
I was born
as a good Southern boy.
2
00:00:38,259 --> 00:00:41,720
The night I come into this world,
My mama looked out the window
3
00:00:41,929 --> 00:00:46,267
And she could see a cross
burnin' on the hills yonder,
4
00:00:46,433 --> 00:00:51,230
A big, bright cross burnin'
on the rolling hills of Texas.
5
00:00:51,355 --> 00:00:54,775
And my papa helped
raise that cross.
6
00:00:54,984 --> 00:01:01,240
He was part of a certain american institution,
If you know what I mean.
7
00:01:01,365 --> 00:01:04,868
Yes, sir, the klan was big back in those days.
8
00:01:05,077 --> 00:01:10,499
And when I was old enough
to stand on my own two feet,
I joined, too.
9
00:01:13,085 --> 00:01:17,256
I rose to prominence
early on in the klan.
10
00:01:17,339 --> 00:01:21,260
They took to calling me
Leroy The White Knight Lowe
back then.
11
00:01:21,427 --> 00:01:27,892
I ran for political office
in Beaumont, Texas in 1952
With the backing of the klan.
12
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:30,519
I lost by 28 votes.
13
00:01:30,853 --> 00:01:33,772
But i never let none of that
dampen my spirits, no, sir.
14
00:01:33,981 --> 00:01:38,444
I traveled the south
in the heyday of the klan,
Vowing to rid the land
15
00:01:38,652 --> 00:01:43,449
of communism, socialism,
And any other isms.
16
00:01:43,657 --> 00:01:46,368
I married a good klan woman.
17
00:01:46,577 --> 00:01:50,497
And upon the death of the Texas
Grand Dragon carl Winchcombe,
18
00:01:50,789 --> 00:01:57,880
I was elected Grand Dragon
Of the Texas Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan.
19
00:01:58,088 --> 00:02:03,427
But by the time
I made Grand Dragon,
The liberal elements turned
their reformist eye to the klan
20
00:02:03,636 --> 00:02:09,433
And it wasn't long before
they sought to take me down.
21
00:02:09,642 --> 00:02:14,063
In the winter of 1976,
I found myself a reluctant guest
22
00:02:14,313 --> 00:02:17,816
Of Low Lee Tuna prison
work farm in Tuna, Texas.
23
00:02:19,944 --> 00:02:23,989
I shared my predicament
with Bubba Mccarthy,
24
00:02:24,198 --> 00:02:27,368
Proud card-Carryin'
klan member.
25
00:02:27,534 --> 00:02:31,330
You ever notice how everything
good out there is white?
26
00:02:31,497 --> 00:02:35,668
You got whitey ford
27
00:02:36,001 --> 00:02:39,338
You got white bread
28
00:02:42,132 --> 00:02:44,426
You got snow white
29
00:02:46,011 --> 00:02:52,059
Well, well, well
Welcome to to Low Lee Tuna state prison, folks.
30
00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:56,397
Merve merville, one rabid dog of a warden.
Well
31
00:03:01,402 --> 00:03:04,363
What have we got here?
32
00:03:06,699 --> 00:03:12,121
Bubba Mccarthy
Two counts of fraud, one count of federal fraud,
33
00:03:12,371 --> 00:03:15,457
Sentenced to one year and four months.
34
00:03:15,666 --> 00:03:20,045
Well, that's a slap
on the wrist, if you ask me.
35
00:03:20,254 --> 00:03:27,136
Leroy Lowe, Grand Dragon
of the East Texas chapter
of the Ku Klux Klan,
36
00:03:27,386 --> 00:03:32,016
Sentenced to three years
for conspiracy against
the United States government,
37
00:03:32,224 --> 00:03:37,146
Three counts
of misapplying funds, tax evasion.
38
00:03:37,396 --> 00:03:41,400
I'm warden Merville,
and L'm the law here at Low Lee.
39
00:03:41,567 --> 00:03:46,572
Out there, you follow
the lord's ten commandments.
In here, you follow mine,
40
00:03:46,780 --> 00:03:49,950
and I only got one
Work like a dog
41
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:56,498
so you can produce the best
Dad-Gummed potatoes on god's green earth!
42
00:03:58,250 --> 00:04:02,338
Now, some folks call me
The potato king
of the southern United States.
43
00:04:02,463 --> 00:04:09,345
That's 'cause our prison fields
produce the finest award-Winning
potatoes in the entire south.
44
00:04:09,470 --> 00:04:13,474
We got packin' potatoes,
peelin' potatoes, pickin' potatoes.
45
00:04:13,641 --> 00:04:19,605
And if you think potato pickin' is a walk in the park
In 99% humidity and 100-Degree weather,
46
00:04:19,813 --> 00:04:22,942
You got another thing comin', son.
47
00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:28,781
Meet east texas dirt, gentlemen.
Eighty-Three percent clay,
48
00:04:29,114 --> 00:04:34,453
high alkaline content,
And hard as a son of a bitch.
49
00:04:34,578 --> 00:04:39,250
Now, that dirt needs to be softened up
If them potatoes are gonna grow.
50
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:43,587
Somebody's gotta loosen that dirt.
You ruffle my feathers,
51
00:04:43,796 --> 00:04:48,050
and i will introduce you
To a world of pain Texas-Style.
52
00:04:48,259 --> 00:04:52,721
You klan folks ain't nothin'
But a hate-Mongerin' bunch of trouble makers.
53
00:04:53,055 --> 00:04:58,018
Maybe your mama didn't love you enough,
Or maybe she love you too much.
54
00:04:58,227 --> 00:05:05,234
Whatever the cause for your disease,
I can tell you this, I'm the cure!
55
00:05:10,197 --> 00:05:16,579
And that's when i heard it
A low moan somewhere in the distance,
56
00:05:18,163 --> 00:05:22,418
The grumble of portentous things to come
57
00:05:24,295 --> 00:05:29,675
The wail of the ragin' wind
of destiny headin' my way.
58
00:05:29,883 --> 00:05:35,097
Yes, sir, things was gonna change
In unimaginable ways,
59
00:05:35,306 --> 00:05:40,102
And there was
nothin' i could do
To avoid what was comin'.
60
00:05:58,579 --> 00:06:04,668
Hey, Leroy, did you ever hear that business
About George Wallace and George Mcgovern?
What about George Wallace and George Mcgovern?
61
00:06:04,877 --> 00:06:09,214
Said in the june issue of the white Tuna weekly
That they're illegitimate brothers.
62
00:06:09,423 --> 00:06:12,301
George wallace, the governor of Alabama?
63
00:06:12,551 --> 00:06:16,555
The two of 'em got the same bushy eyebrows,
Same runty teeth,
same bags under their eyes.
64
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:20,559
How they figured?
Everyone knows mcgovern's old man was a minister.
65
00:06:20,643 --> 00:06:25,731
A philanderin' and womanizin' one, too.
sure was!
It's pretty clear what happened.
How you mean?
66
00:06:25,940 --> 00:06:30,527
In 1918, Mrs. Wallace got a job as an assistant
to Mcgovern senior.
67
00:06:30,611 --> 00:06:32,696
How that turn out, huh?
68
00:06:32,905 --> 00:06:37,284
Well, story goes that when Mrs. Wallace moved back
to Alabama, August 25th, 1919,
69
00:06:37,534 --> 00:06:44,291
She gave birth to a son, George Wallace, jr.
Now every time he flashes a runty grin,
Folks wonder why he looks a darn lot like George Mcgovern.
70
00:06:44,541 --> 00:06:49,380
They even got the same name!
You couldn't give birthto two more different men, if you tried.
71
00:06:49,630 --> 00:06:53,133
It's a mystery of nature how that can happen.
Governor Wallace is a hero.
72
00:06:53,342 --> 00:06:58,597
Must be something in the water up north.
Well, they come out with their heads screwed on sideways up there.
Amen!
73
00:06:58,764 --> 00:07:03,352
Yes, sir, me and Bubba
Was just like June and ward Cleaver,
74
00:07:03,602 --> 00:07:07,690
Two birds of a same-Colored feather. 00:07:11,527
As anybody ever saw
sharin' a prison cell.
76
00:07:11,652 --> 00:07:17,616
Hey, Leroy.
Hmm?
Tell me that story about you drivin' to baton rouge a few years back.
77
00:07:18,784 --> 00:07:23,622
Well, i was drivin' east for a klan rally.
It was late night
78
00:07:23,747 --> 00:07:29,378
and i was sailin' down i-10,
When this little bitty Mexican
Run right out in front of my brand-New Ford Fairlane.
79
00:07:29,628 --> 00:07:35,885
When i stop, he come 'round my window and he said,
Excuse me, se�or, how about let me have a ride?
I'm going back to mexico.
80
00:07:36,218 --> 00:07:41,432
you must've been dreamin'!
Ain't no mexican ever wanna go back to Mexico on his own free will!
81
00:07:41,682 --> 00:07:47,479
So I say, Sure thing, amigo, hop right in!
Ain't nothin' I like better than takin' a Mexican back to Mexico!
82
00:07:47,688 --> 00:07:52,985
So I ask him,
I say, How come you're goin' back to Mexico?
Don't you like it out here in America?
83
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:56,906
What'd he say?
He said, oh, si�, se�or, I like it very much.
84
00:07:57,239 --> 00:08:03,913
That's why I'm going back to mexico To get my wife
and six children And bring 'em back to your country.
I'd be damned.
85
00:08:04,246 --> 00:08:09,919
And that's about the time I open my car door
And kick that son of a bitch right out of the car!
86
00:08:11,629 --> 00:08:14,757
You must've been doin' 50!
Sixty-Five.
87
00:08:14,924 --> 00:08:20,888
I don't want no one thinkin' the klan ain't got no
sense of humor now!
That's a hell of a story, Leroy,
A hell of a story.
88
00:08:21,222 --> 00:08:26,352
I got a lot of 'em, bubba,
a lot of stories.
89
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:33,525
I've been in the klan 45 years
45 consecutive years.
90
00:08:33,734 --> 00:08:37,488
I've been harassed
for the klan, Persecuted,
shot at, beaten.
91
00:08:37,738 --> 00:08:44,411
Persecuted,
shot at, beaten.
92
00:08:47,748 --> 00:08:52,336
I marched, I boycotted.
93
00:08:55,965 --> 00:08:59,802
Hell, I even gave up my freedom for the cause.
94
00:09:00,010 --> 00:09:03,430
Guard: Lights Out!
95
00:09:03,681 --> 00:09:09,228
You're a great man, Leroy,
A hell of a great man.
96
00:09:09,436 --> 00:09:14,733
Every tuesday, we spent one hour with the warden
For the benefit of our rehabilitation.
97
00:09:14,858 --> 00:09:21,073
Cultivating potatoes teach a man all he kneed to know
About living a moral life.
98
00:09:21,407 --> 00:09:25,536
He who sows righteousness
reaps a sure reward. Proverbs.
99
00:09:25,786 --> 00:09:31,584
Not all potatoes are the same, mind you.
Yellow potatoes, for instance are good for boilin'.
100
00:09:31,792 --> 00:09:35,963
Yukon gold
White potatoes, au gratin, oh
101
00:09:36,255 --> 00:09:40,092
Russet potatoes, fingerlings,
hash browns
102
00:09:40,426 --> 00:09:43,846
Let my teachings fall like rain.
You wanna make the perfect potato stew?
103
00:09:47,975 --> 00:09:53,856
I feel Rehabilitated.
You do now?
That's right.
104
00:09:54,023 --> 00:10:00,112
If I get an early releasefrom prison,
I'm fixin' to return to my life as a door-To-Door
vacuum salesman.
105
00:10:00,446 --> 00:10:03,991
A vacuum salesman?
That's brill vacuum cleaners, mind you,
106
00:10:04,366 --> 00:10:08,704
Unquestionably the finest value on the market!
Well,
107
00:10:08,829 --> 00:10:12,750
that sound like a hell of an honest job, Leroy.
108
00:10:12,833 --> 00:10:16,712
But, uh
what about the klan?
109
00:10:16,837 --> 00:10:20,799
Hmm. Well, the klan's gonna have to get along without me,
110
00:10:20,966 --> 00:10:27,556
As I'm gonna be gainfully employed and all.
I heard they're already gettin' along without you just fine..
111
00:10:28,057 --> 00:10:32,811
What have you heard?
That they've elected a new grand dragon in your absence.
112
00:10:32,937 --> 00:10:39,985
So there's plenty of time for you to sell vacuums when you get out
In 19 months.
113
00:10:44,990 --> 00:10:49,828
I want this place shinin'
like a pair of new boots!
You hear me?
114
00:10:49,954 --> 00:10:55,376
Ever heard the story of the woman who walks into a man's life
And don't make one bit of difference?
115
00:10:55,584 --> 00:10:58,379
Neither have I.
116
00:11:01,215 --> 00:11:04,885
I think the time's come for me to give the good ol' warden here
117
00:11:05,052 --> 00:11:08,931
A display of my influencein this neck of the woods.
118
00:11:10,391 --> 00:11:15,896
I'm gonna stir up a hell of a fuss!
You are?
Uh-Huh.
119
00:11:16,063 --> 00:11:20,401
I'm gonna write the white tuna and I'm gonna call
On every klansmen east of the mississippi,
120
00:11:20,609 --> 00:11:24,863
to support my cause!
121
00:11:24,989 --> 00:11:29,201
Right.
Hundreds of folks are gonna rally at the doorsteps
of this institution
122
00:11:29,535 --> 00:11:32,788
To demand that I be set free!
123
00:11:32,913 --> 00:11:38,877
Be a mighty spectacle.
Pure jesus.
Pure jesus. Amen.
124
00:11:39,003 --> 00:11:43,883
You think you might make it saturday instead?
What? Why?
125
00:11:44,008 --> 00:11:49,388
Well, I'd rather not cause a hullabaloo on friday.
It's sweet potato day.
126
00:12:00,545 --> 00:12:24,131
====ryanon====
127
00:12:40,022 --> 00:12:45,277
You should try the potatoes today, Leroy.
Pretty darn good for prison fare.
128
00:12:45,611 --> 00:12:50,157
I don't see nothin' in here about my
stirrin' letter,
129
00:12:50,491 --> 00:12:54,578
my call to action!
Don't even see my name mentioned in here.
Oh,
130
00:12:54,787 --> 00:12:57,623
Wait.
Here's somethin'.
What?
131
00:12:58,791 --> 00:13:03,045
The New Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, Ratt Sloan,
132
00:13:03,212 --> 00:13:07,174
Had this to say about his predecessor, Leroy The White Knight Lowe
133
00:13:07,466 --> 00:13:11,428
I know he tried to join the Louisiana order
on at least two occasions
134
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,016
When he felt attendance
to his klan was slippin'
135
00:13:16,183 --> 00:13:19,228
Well, that's a goddamn jew lie!
You went to bogalusa once.
136
00:13:19,562 --> 00:13:23,774
I ain't never been to Bogalusa!
I wouldn't be caught dead in Bogalusa!
What else it says?
137
00:13:24,024 --> 00:13:30,072
Furthermore,
Grand Dragon Ratt Sloan Has learned from unassailable sources
That Leroy Lowe's mother is a
138
00:13:32,032 --> 00:13:37,538
Half-Breed jewess by the name of Finkelstein.
139
00:13:37,746 --> 00:13:42,084
Oh, hell no! Oh!
140
00:13:43,961 --> 00:13:49,633
Oh, when i get out of here,
I'm gonna find this son of a bitch!
141
00:13:52,303 --> 00:13:55,806
Bubba!
Bubba, bubba, bubba,
142
00:13:56,056 --> 00:13:58,017
oh, come on now.
Come on, boy, get up!
143
00:14:05,232 --> 00:14:08,277
Guard! Guard!
144
00:14:10,029 --> 00:14:17,286
That piece of baked potato
That got stuck in bubba's throat
Cut off the oxygen flow to his brain
Longer than any piece of potato has the right to.
145
00:14:17,620 --> 00:14:21,498
Bubba survived,
but he was never quite
the same after that.
146
00:14:21,749 --> 00:14:25,002
He was transferred to low lee tuna
psychiatric ward,
147
00:14:25,085 --> 00:14:29,256
Where he spent
the remainder of his sentence
in imbecilic hebetude.
148
00:14:32,927 --> 00:14:39,141
I know bubba wasn't much to look at,
But he sure was good people.
149
00:14:47,942 --> 00:14:52,821
It's a shame about Bubba,
a real shame.
150
00:14:53,072 --> 00:14:56,158
He was a hard-Working member
of this establishment,
151
00:14:56,367 --> 00:15:00,621
A man who packed potatoes
swiftly and efficiently.
152
00:15:00,829 --> 00:15:05,834
He will be woefully missed.
153
00:15:06,085 --> 00:15:09,296
But we must press on.
154
00:15:41,996 --> 00:15:47,084
I reckon it ain't right for a man
To spend all his time alone
155
00:15:47,167 --> 00:15:51,380
with nobody to talk to,
No matter what his crime is.
156
00:15:51,714 --> 00:15:56,886
Besides, space is a scarce
and valuable commodity here at Low Lee,
157
00:15:57,136 --> 00:16:00,681
And we need to fill
that empty bunk in your cell.
158
00:16:00,890 --> 00:16:04,393
So i'm fixin' to pair you up
with a new cell mate.
159
00:16:12,192 --> 00:16:16,238
Somethin' was in the air
That balmy summer day at Low Lee.
160
00:16:16,405 --> 00:16:20,534
I could sense it as clear as a man feels 00:16:27,249
Somethin' big was headed my way.
162
00:16:44,433 --> 00:16:48,187
Who the hell are you?
163
00:16:48,312 --> 00:16:52,483
My name is Emilio Ortiz.
What?
164
00:16:52,816 --> 00:16:57,279
Emilio Ortiz.
Guard! Guard, get back here!
You left a Mexican in my cell!
165
00:16:57,446 --> 00:17:01,158
Guard!
166
00:17:01,242 --> 00:17:05,871
Well, well, well
Leroy Lowe don't like Jews,
167
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,124
He don't like negroes,
and he don't like mexicans neither.
168
00:17:09,250 --> 00:17:12,336
I don't have a problem with nobody, warden.
I ain't anti-Colored, I'm Pro-American.
169
00:17:12,544 --> 00:17:17,508
Pro-American?
You think you're the only one who's Pro-American around here?
170
00:17:17,841 --> 00:17:22,388
Don't you think that I would like to tar and feather me
A colored folk from time to time?
171
00:17:22,596 --> 00:17:26,225
Of course i do!
But it don't work that way no more.
172
00:17:26,350 --> 00:17:32,231
Them civil rights laws make it very hard
To discriminate and segregate these days.
173
00:17:32,314 --> 00:17:38,946
Of course, that's on the outside.
In here, the time-Honored tradition Of indentured servitude
174
00:17:39,196 --> 00:17:42,283
Is alive and well
And doin' just fine.
175
00:17:42,449 --> 00:17:46,829
This country was built on the backs of minorities
Workin' for nothin',
176
00:17:47,037 --> 00:17:49,707
And I'm here to make sure
that it stays that way.
177
00:17:49,957 --> 00:17:53,877
Do you think that these award-Winning potatoes pick themselves?
No, sir.
178
00:17:54,086 --> 00:17:56,839
Of course they don't.
179
00:17:57,047 --> 00:18:00,384
Before he was arrested,
That mexican sharing that cell with you
180
00:18:00,593 --> 00:18:05,180
Was working in the fields, he was getting paid for it,
and you know what he'd do?
What?
181
00:18:05,306 --> 00:18:11,854
He says he ain't gettin' paid enough!
He and his fellow workers organized a strike!
182
00:18:12,062 --> 00:18:16,775
Well, the Tuna County Sheriff's Office
Marched right down there,
183
00:18:16,984 --> 00:18:21,030
Clamped handcuffs on them radicals,
And they turned 'em over to me.
184
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:26,243
Now they're workin' my potato fields,
And they don't get paid a single penny for doin' it.
185
00:18:26,327 --> 00:18:31,123
And that's how i take care of the minority problem,
legally.
186
00:18:31,332 --> 00:18:34,043
I appreciate your position, warden.
I really do.
187
00:18:34,293 --> 00:18:38,964
But if there's any way you could transfer
This particular radical to any other cell
188
00:18:39,173 --> 00:18:45,304
No way, no how!
I got me radicals fillin' every cell in this institution!
189
00:18:45,471 --> 00:18:51,310
You know what happens when you put two radicals in the same cell?
You got a revolution!
190
00:18:51,477 --> 00:18:56,023
But i figured that a few months
In tight quarters with you
191
00:18:56,273 --> 00:18:59,443
Is gonna break
this radical's spirit.
192
00:18:59,652 --> 00:19:05,115
Just make sure you don't break nothin' else
Because a broken body cannot meet quota.
193
00:19:05,366 --> 00:19:10,579
Am I gonna have any more trouble with you, Leroy?!
No, sir.
194
00:19:24,969 --> 00:19:29,056
Figure you could say I felt like
American frontiersman Davey Crockett.
195
00:19:35,729 --> 00:19:42,903
Surrounded by savage Mexicans at the Battle of the Alamo
With nowhere to run.
196
00:19:44,905 --> 00:19:49,034
Well, I hear there's a mutinous agitator
in my institution.
197
00:19:49,243 --> 00:19:53,455
I believe this situation just ain't gonna work, Warden.
I don't give a hoot what you believe!
198
00:19:53,622 --> 00:19:58,377
I will not tolerate insubordination
And infighting in my prison!
199
00:19:58,460 --> 00:20:02,590
You have got to learn to get along amicably
With your fellow prisoners.
200
00:20:02,882 --> 00:20:06,010
Do I make myself clear?
I protest!
201
00:20:06,218 --> 00:20:11,348
I request, no, I demand a separate cell!
Oh, really?!
202
00:20:49,595 --> 00:20:55,643
Oh, si�, the East Texas Alkaline soil is very hard,
203
00:20:55,976 --> 00:20:59,271
86% clay.
204
00:21:01,232 --> 00:21:04,693
My friend Cleto say to me,
we strike.
205
00:21:05,027 --> 00:21:09,990
And i say, Cleto, if we strike, how we
can make any money?
206
00:21:10,199 --> 00:21:15,621
Well, he say, after we finish the strike,
We will get more money,
207
00:21:15,829 --> 00:21:20,251
better working conditions,
And we will get more respect.
208
00:21:20,501 --> 00:21:25,381
And so we strike.
We paint a sign that say we want more money.
209
00:21:25,506 --> 00:21:29,260
We put it on a tractor and we drive the tractor
around the field
210
00:21:29,510 --> 00:21:32,596
To show everybody we mean business.
211
00:21:32,805 --> 00:21:36,767
I drive the tractor.
But I can't drive no tractor.
212
00:21:37,101 --> 00:21:43,107
I hit one side of the barn.
The roof fall, It destroy 200 crates of melons.
213
00:21:43,315 --> 00:21:47,486
In the truck on the way to jail,
I ask to Cleto,
214
00:21:47,611 --> 00:21:54,535
Cleto, we strike, But we didn't get more money.
No, he say.
215
00:21:54,702 --> 00:21:58,622
We didn't get no respect.
No, he say.
216
00:21:58,831 --> 00:22:02,543
We didn't get more work.
No, he say.
217
00:22:02,710 --> 00:22:08,507
So what did we get?
A lesson, he say.
218
00:22:12,887 --> 00:22:18,559
You know, you remind me of my brother Eduardo.
He hate that I talk so much.
219
00:22:18,726 --> 00:22:23,480
He say, Emilio,
if you say one more word,
220
00:22:23,564 --> 00:22:26,650
I'm gonna grab you and i'm gonna hit your head
against the wall.
221
00:22:26,859 --> 00:22:31,614
I tried to keep my lip closed,
but I can't keep my lip closed.
222
00:22:31,822 --> 00:22:35,534
My lips open again,
and the words start coming out.
223
00:22:39,371 --> 00:22:43,751
Do you ever see dr. Ben Casey on TV?
That's my favorite TV show.
224
00:22:44,043 --> 00:22:49,548
Dr. Ben casey always have perfect hair,
Even when he spend the whole day in the hospital room
225
00:22:49,673 --> 00:22:53,552
Saving a woman hit by a car,
Or a man who jump from a window.
226
00:22:53,636 --> 00:23:00,643
Dr. Ben casey walks into the operating room,
And wow, he have great hair.
227
00:23:00,851 --> 00:23:05,814
My grandfather have great hair.
My father have great hair, too.
228
00:23:06,148 --> 00:23:10,653
When I'm born,
I have this hair.
229
00:23:10,819 --> 00:23:16,992
My mother ask to me, Emilio, why you don't have
hair like your father?
230
00:23:17,284 --> 00:23:21,580
You look like un caniche,
a poodle dog.
231
00:23:21,747 --> 00:23:27,586
You want to live in America?
All Americans have great hair, that's what she say.
232
00:23:27,711 --> 00:23:32,424
Sometimes a whole potato field
can be lost to pests.
233
00:23:32,633 --> 00:23:37,805
You got them blister beetles that cause retarded growth
and ragged leaves,
234
00:23:38,138 --> 00:23:44,645
Them Colorado potato beetles that leave stringy black
excrement behind.
235
00:23:44,812 --> 00:23:48,190
You got them flea beetles
that love nothin' more than.
236
00:23:48,399 --> 00:23:52,361
Look at Elvis Presley, Frankie Avalon -
237
00:23:52,611 --> 00:23:56,198
Johnny Carson, Dick Van Dyke.
238
00:23:56,407 --> 00:24:00,077
They have great hair.
That's what makes them very American.
239
00:24:00,327 --> 00:24:06,208
You got the green peach aphid, you got the potato aphid.
Frank Sinatra, Walter Cronkite.
240
00:24:06,417 --> 00:24:11,380
You got the flea beetle that loves nothin' more
Than to bore these tiny little holes into the potato.
241
00:24:11,630 --> 00:24:15,426
Robert Redford in the candidate
White grubs, brown grubs, green grubs
242
00:24:15,676 --> 00:24:18,554
Edmund Muskie.
Pinworms, Wireworms
243
00:24:18,679 --> 00:24:22,641
Even James Brown
Mites, weevils
Has great hair.
244
00:24:41,702 --> 00:24:45,873
This is my Father's comb.
It was his Father's comb.
245
00:24:46,165 --> 00:24:50,127
My Grandfather used this comb
when he fight in the Battle of Celaya in 1915.
246
00:24:50,377 --> 00:24:55,382
In the battle, my grandfather lost an arm,
And he keep fighting.
247
00:24:55,633 --> 00:24:59,386
Then he lost the other arm,
And he keep fighting.
248
00:24:59,637 --> 00:25:03,682
After the battle, General Pancho Villa
Look at my Grandfather and he say,
249
00:25:03,766 --> 00:25:06,644
You have the most perfect hair
I ever see.
250
00:25:06,727 --> 00:25:11,690
He was very proud, my Grandfather.
Proud, huh?
251
00:25:11,815 --> 00:25:17,738
Very proud.
They call him El Sin Brazos, the man without arms.
252
00:25:17,905 --> 00:25:24,286
He married three times, had 17 children,
And all that without hands.
253
00:25:24,495 --> 00:25:27,456
Very proud.
254
00:25:27,706 --> 00:25:31,710
pride!
What you know about pride? Huh?
255
00:25:31,835 --> 00:25:34,171
You want me to tell you about pride?
256
00:25:34,421 --> 00:25:40,511
Well, pride is nearly winnin' district 26 of the Beaumont's
house of representatives by a small margin of votes.
257
00:25:40,761 --> 00:25:47,393
Pride is makin' Grand Dragon of one of the finest American
institutions ever created.
258
00:25:47,601 --> 00:25:52,523
Yeah, but if you did all that without hands,
It would be more impressive, no?
259
00:26:29,810 --> 00:26:36,859
Well, i guess if i'm condemned to share a cell with you,
We're gonna have to set some ground rules, huh?
260
00:26:39,069 --> 00:26:43,574
Just think of this as
As a border, okay?
261
00:26:46,243 --> 00:26:50,122
As a border, okay?
This is the rio grande of Low Lee State prison.
262
00:26:50,456 --> 00:26:54,126
On this side, we have the United States of America.
On that side, we have Mexico.
263
00:26:54,460 --> 00:27:00,799
Me, I'm the gringo.
I stay on my side called America,
You, the mexican, stay on your side, and that's called Mexico
264
00:27:00,925 --> 00:27:03,594
I don't go to Mexico. No.
265
00:27:03,844 --> 00:27:10,809
And you don't come to America, comprende?
266
00:27:10,893 --> 00:27:14,897
Yes, but there is a problem.
What problem?
267
00:27:15,064 --> 00:27:17,900
America has the toilet.
268
00:27:35,584 --> 00:27:39,672
Any mail for me?
Did i get any mail? Hey!
269
00:27:48,430 --> 00:27:51,559
My friend Felipe write to me..
270
00:27:51,809 --> 00:27:55,938
Praise the lord!
The fence hopper got himself a fence hopper pen pal.
271
00:27:56,105 --> 00:28:02,778
Well, if you wasn't such a racist gringo,
You might have a pen pal, too.
272
00:28:02,903 --> 00:28:07,116
Oh, he say they continue
with the strike.
273
00:28:07,449 --> 00:28:13,205
And he hope when I get out we will get better work hours
and more pay.
274
00:28:13,539 --> 00:28:20,087
But it don't look like anybody cares about the strike.
They just hire new people who will work for less.
275
00:28:20,379 --> 00:28:26,427
Hey, don't you know anything about how the American
government works?
What do you mean?
276
00:28:26,635 --> 00:28:30,931
You never heard about them liberals out there
in Washington?
Liberals?
That's right.
277
00:28:31,098 --> 00:28:37,563
You minorities got more people workin' for you in Washington
Than us hard-Workin' white folk got anywhere.
278
00:28:37,771 --> 00:28:43,485
See, all you gotta do is get yourself a few hundred
Of them labor union volunteers down here,
279
00:28:43,694 --> 00:28:47,489
And you got yourself a cause.
Don't you know nothin'?
280
00:28:47,698 --> 00:28:52,870
Well, I know I have to find more
About these Washington Liberals,
281
00:28:52,953 --> 00:28:55,497
that's for sure.
282
00:28:56,665 --> 00:29:02,838
Chlorpropham kills them
potato grubs dead.
283
00:29:02,963 --> 00:29:09,511
Ddt is lethal for weevils
most of the time.
284
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:16,477
Dieldrin is deadly
For all types of aphids..
285
00:29:17,561 --> 00:29:21,440
And my sister,
her name is Eliana.
286
00:29:21,649 --> 00:29:24,068
I don't talk very much with her
287
00:29:24,276 --> 00:29:27,863
I was holdin' down the fort best I could.
288
00:29:40,042 --> 00:29:43,879
But them dogged Mexicans
was closin' in.
289
00:30:02,022 --> 00:30:08,612
I'd be lyin' if I said I didn't peek at that clock
on the wall from time to time,
290
00:30:08,821 --> 00:30:13,075
Waitin' for the big hand to hit 12.
291
00:30:34,722 --> 00:30:38,726
You see I've got a responsibility.
I've got a responsibility to these growers.
292
00:30:38,976 --> 00:30:44,356
These growers are expecting me to produce
Some kind of potato crop.
293
00:30:44,690 --> 00:30:51,113
Did i say something funny, Leroy?
Uh-Uh. No, warden, you never do.
294
00:32:26,750 --> 00:32:31,130
What's that?
None of your business!
295
00:32:31,255 --> 00:32:35,676
What are you reading?
I don't need you nosin' around my personal communications!
296
00:32:35,885 --> 00:32:39,346
Personal communication?
Who write to you a personal communication?
297
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,143
Will you stop harassin' me? It's none of your beeswax!
Okay, okay,
298
00:32:44,268 --> 00:32:49,815
if you don't wanna tell me,
Don't have to tell me.
299
00:32:50,024 --> 00:32:53,360
You don't have to tell me nothing
if you don't want.
300
00:32:53,694 --> 00:32:58,157
I'm not gonna ask you
to show me nothing.
301
00:33:03,412 --> 00:33:08,709
Maybe one day I can see it.
302
00:33:12,046 --> 00:33:15,716
But if you don't want me to see it,
303
00:33:15,925 --> 00:33:19,345
You don't have to show me nothing.
304
00:33:19,553 --> 00:33:22,181
If you don't want.
305
00:33:24,225 --> 00:33:29,313
It's in Spanish anyway.
Spanish? Who write to you in Spanish?
306
00:33:33,359 --> 00:33:36,278
The warden's maid, if you must know.
307
00:33:36,445 --> 00:33:43,744
A woman wrote to you a letter?
Ah, you're a very lucky man.
308
00:33:43,953 --> 00:33:49,667
oh, I don't know about all that, now.
Oh, yeah, very lucky man.
309
00:33:49,917 --> 00:33:55,923
So what this woman say?
I don't know! I don't speak Spanish!
310
00:33:59,260 --> 00:34:01,387
I speak Spanish.
311
00:34:12,273 --> 00:34:17,903
All right
If i let you read this note,
312
00:34:18,112 --> 00:34:22,408
You are gonna read it,
you will tell me what it say,
313
00:34:22,616 --> 00:34:29,248
Then you will hand it back to me,
And you're gonna forget you ever read it!
314
00:34:29,415 --> 00:34:35,254
Understood?
Sure.
You're gonna forget we ever even havin' this conversation!
315
00:34:35,421 --> 00:34:39,592
I will forget everything about this conversation.
316
00:34:39,925 --> 00:34:46,765
I will forget everything about this day, too.
And this week will only have six days for me.
317
00:34:46,974 --> 00:34:49,602
Okay. What's the damn thing have to say?
318
00:34:57,902 --> 00:35:04,366
Her name is Madalena.
Beautiful name.
319
00:35:04,575 --> 00:35:11,207
What does Madalena have to say?
Oh, she say you should smile sometimes.
320
00:35:14,418 --> 00:35:20,758
She what?
That's what she say.
You should smile sometimes.
321
00:35:30,351 --> 00:35:34,438
I can't see why that maid said I never smile.
I smile as much as anybody, I think.
322
00:35:34,647 --> 00:35:40,611
Oh, sure. I never see nobody smile as much as you.
323
00:35:45,282 --> 00:35:49,995
I guess I will write her.
It's only good manners, right?
324
00:35:50,204 --> 00:35:52,790
It is good manners to write back.
325
00:35:55,334 --> 00:35:59,880
Well, then i will. I'll write her.
It don't cost nothin'.
326
00:36:01,966 --> 00:36:08,347
Well, what should I write?
327
00:36:08,430 --> 00:36:13,394
I think you should tell her why you never smile.
328
00:36:14,728 --> 00:36:18,274
There's a problem.
329
00:36:18,399 --> 00:36:22,695
JI don't write no Spanish!
I do.
330
00:36:28,492 --> 00:36:35,457
Well, I don't smile
Because I'm stuck in a prison cell
331
00:36:35,666 --> 00:36:41,922
Away from the klan
Surrounded by a bunch of grasshoppers.
332
00:36:42,131 --> 00:36:45,926
That don't sound too good in spanish..
Well, what's not good about it?
333
00:36:46,135 --> 00:36:51,223
The klan part.
And the grasshopper part.
334
00:36:51,432 --> 00:36:55,561
Actually, i don't think any of it is very good.
335
00:36:59,398 --> 00:37:05,487
Endosulfan for them brown grubs.
336
00:37:05,654 --> 00:37:09,617
Aphids don't like thiabendazole compound
337
00:37:09,950 --> 00:37:13,621
sprayed directly on the leaves.
338
00:37:15,289 --> 00:37:19,418
Now, you wanna get serious about fruit worms?
339
00:37:19,543 --> 00:37:23,631
You gotta use o-Phenylphenol,
340
00:37:23,923 --> 00:37:27,509
Which is also good for them blister beetles,
341
00:37:27,718 --> 00:37:33,766
But not so good
as phorate metabolite.
342
00:37:35,809 --> 00:37:38,979
Are you listening to me, Leroy?
343
00:37:42,566 --> 00:37:45,736
Oh, absolutely, warden.
Good, 'cause you just might learn somethin'.
344
00:37:46,070 --> 00:37:48,364
What was I sayin'?
345
00:37:54,036 --> 00:37:57,998
You was hailin' the grub-Killin' efficacy
346
00:37:58,207 --> 00:38:02,670
Of phorate metabolite,warden,
wasn't you?
347
00:38:02,962 --> 00:38:09,718
That's right, Leroy.
Phorate metabolite is a sure way to get rid of them grubs.
348
00:38:10,052 --> 00:38:13,639
Of course, if you're lookin' for a better way,
Then you got to go south.
349
00:38:26,527 --> 00:38:31,156
My name is Leroy Lowe.
They used to call me The White Knight.
350
00:38:31,365 --> 00:38:37,496
I've been nothin' but a righteous man.
Done all the right things a righteous man's supposed to do.
351
00:38:37,621 --> 00:38:43,085
I married a proud white woman.
She was the best female segregation speaker in the south.
352
00:38:43,294 --> 00:38:50,217
Sounded just like Lurleen Wallace.
We lived our life as proper as any proud white folks would.
353
00:38:50,467 --> 00:38:52,803
Now my wife's passed on,
354
00:38:53,137 --> 00:38:58,642
My best friend in the world is gone, too,
Choked by a wayward piece of potato,
355
00:38:58,851 --> 00:39:02,646
And i can't help but wonder where the klan went.
356
00:39:02,855 --> 00:39:08,861
I suppose with these thoughts on my mind,
I forget to smile sometimes.
357
00:39:16,660 --> 00:39:20,331
I want a cause.
You what?
358
00:39:20,581 --> 00:39:25,586
You say if i write
them liberals, I have a cause.
359
00:39:25,753 --> 00:39:29,757
So I want a cause.
I want to write them liberals.
360
00:39:30,007 --> 00:39:33,802
Well now, you gotta write the right folks to get things stirrin'.
Sure.
361
00:39:34,136 --> 00:39:37,640
You don't wanna mince your words, now.
Fire and brimstone! Let 'em have it!
362
00:39:37,848 --> 00:39:44,230
Okay, but where do I send my letter?
Well, I'd start with the United States Justice Department.
363
00:39:44,438 --> 00:39:49,902
They love to stick their nose where it don't belong,
Especially when it concerns the plight of the coloreds.
364
00:39:50,236 --> 00:39:55,241
Well, for a racist gringo,
You sure know a lot about the problems of the immigrants.
365
00:39:55,449 --> 00:40:01,247
I have sent my fair share of 'em
Kickin' and screamin' back where they came from.
366
00:40:01,455 --> 00:40:07,419
Huh. Can you imagine how many Mexicans
Are getting across your border now that you're stuck in here?
367
00:40:13,217 --> 00:40:16,595
But tell me about your letter.
What about my letter?
368
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:22,184
Did you give it to Madalena?
I suppose I did.
369
00:40:22,393 --> 00:40:29,316
Well?
Well what?
What did she say?
She didn't say nothin'. She just put it in her pocket.
370
00:40:34,655 --> 00:40:38,617
371
00:40:59,096 --> 00:41:04,727
Leroy Lowe!
Don't you think I know what's goin' on?
372
00:41:04,935 --> 00:41:09,273
W-What do you mean?
W-What's goin' on, warden?
373
00:41:09,481 --> 00:41:12,610
I hear you're makin' progress with your new cell mate,
374
00:41:12,693 --> 00:41:16,322
That you two are gettin' along
like two peas in a pod.
375
00:41:16,530 --> 00:41:21,619
Oh, I don't think that is the best assessment
of the situation.
Well, you just keep that up, now.
376
00:41:21,702 --> 00:41:27,666
That's the kind of behavior I wanna see here
at Low Lee Tuna. None of that bellicose attitude.
377
00:41:30,794 --> 00:41:36,258
Did you get the letter?
So what if I did?
378
00:41:36,467 --> 00:41:42,681
It's very exciting.
Is it?
Oh, yeah, very exciting.
379
00:41:51,065 --> 00:41:53,692
What?
Are you gonna show me the letter?
380
00:41:53,817 --> 00:41:58,697
No.
No?
No! Look, this whole thing's gotten out of hand, all right?
381
00:41:58,822 --> 00:42:05,788
I'm not prepared to get into a written correspondence
with a woman, Especially with that woman, okay?
382
00:42:08,707 --> 00:42:13,754
Come on, give me the letter.
No!
383
00:43:52,019 --> 00:43:56,815
Well, you might as well tell me what it says.
384
00:43:59,109 --> 00:44:03,322
As long as you got it in front of you and all.
385
00:44:07,534 --> 00:44:13,165
Ah. This is a beautiful woman, isn't she?
How in the hell you know what this woman look like, huh?
386
00:44:15,626 --> 00:44:21,966
Well, look at her writing.
It's so pretty, so elegant.
387
00:44:22,174 --> 00:44:26,929
But this is a very sad woman.
388
00:44:27,137 --> 00:44:29,598
just read the damn thing, will ya?
389
00:44:32,643 --> 00:44:38,107
Mr. Leroy Lowe, Tell me a story.
390
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:43,070
I sure got a story for you.
I still remember it like it was yesterday.
391
00:44:43,404 --> 00:44:48,450
It was back in the summer of 1966.
I bought myself a shinin' new car,
392
00:44:48,659 --> 00:44:52,288
A ford fairlane four-Dour sedan,
Colonial white.
393
00:44:52,580 --> 00:44:58,419
I equipped it with all sort of amenities,
And I traveled these United States sellin' brill vacuum cleaners door to door.
394
00:44:58,627 --> 00:45:04,925
First week on the job, I sold 26 uprights,
Eight canisters, and one carpet beater.
395
00:45:05,092 --> 00:45:12,474
The brill regional manager in Labrecque called me into his office and said,
Leroy, you got one hell of a fast tongue.
396
00:45:12,683 --> 00:45:15,895
I still have that salesman of the year award
He gave me stashed somewhere.
397
00:45:16,020 --> 00:45:20,858
It says, To Leroy Lowe
The man with the Devil's Silver Tongue.
398
00:45:20,941 --> 00:45:23,027
It was a fine week.
399
00:45:23,235 --> 00:45:28,866
Madalena: my father was a good talker, too.
He stand in front of a hundred people and said,
400
00:45:28,949 --> 00:45:32,536
If you go to the United States and work hard,
401
00:45:32,745 --> 00:45:36,081
You don't let them take your rights away from you.'
402
00:45:36,290 --> 00:45:39,919
When I was ten years old, a truck came to our house.
403
00:45:40,044 --> 00:45:44,006
My father jump on that truck and kiss my mother good-Bye.
404
00:45:44,173 --> 00:45:49,261
He crossed the border to fight for the rights
Of de Los Braceros, the field workers.
405
00:45:49,595 --> 00:45:53,766
He had a good tongue like you,
but he made some people scared.
406
00:45:53,974 --> 00:46:00,189
He was not afraid. He wanted to change things.
So he went.
407
00:46:00,522 --> 00:46:04,944
Leroy: My papa traveled a lot back in the days, too.
Never was in a place for longer than a minute.
408
00:46:05,069 --> 00:46:07,947
He told us he was workin' to rewrite history,
409
00:46:08,113 --> 00:46:11,075
And I dreamed of the day I saw his name in a schoolbook
410
00:46:11,283 --> 00:46:16,747
Along with those
of Abraham Lincoln and general Robert E. Lee.
The heroes of the Civil War and The Reconstruction.
411
00:46:16,997 --> 00:46:19,500
I guess those dreams filled the days we spent without him.
412
00:46:19,708 --> 00:46:25,381
Madalena: your father sounds a lot like mine,
With very big dreams.
413
00:46:25,673 --> 00:46:28,968
He worked hard to change things for laborers.
414
00:46:29,051 --> 00:46:34,598
But one day, two field workers came to our house
And brought a shirt to my mother.
415
00:46:34,807 --> 00:46:40,312
It was my father's shirt.
That's when she knew he was dead.
416
00:46:40,646 --> 00:46:44,066
His shirt was full of blood.
417
00:46:44,233 --> 00:46:48,988
They say the Texas Rangers
Beat the workers during a strike.
418
00:46:49,113 --> 00:46:51,282
And my father was with them.
419
00:46:51,615 --> 00:46:57,204
When my mother saw that shirt,
She ran until she couldn't run anymore.
420
00:46:57,454 --> 00:47:01,166
She stopped when she got to the edge of the Rio Grande.
421
00:47:01,375 --> 00:47:08,424
She prayed for the river to take her away.
And it did.
422
00:47:08,716 --> 00:47:11,552
Leroy: well, I'm awful sorry to hear about your folks.
423
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,556
But I never understood why certain elements
Go look for trouble in other folks' backyards.
424
00:47:15,764 --> 00:47:21,270
A man should stay where the good lord saw fit to put him
And not go lookin' to start a fuss somewhere else.
425
00:47:21,604 --> 00:47:26,150
It just ain't sound enterprise, if you ask me.
That's why I'm a firm believer
426
00:47:26,358 --> 00:47:30,070
You folks should stay home and tend to your own.
427
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,820
Potato casserole
428
00:48:13,906 --> 00:48:16,867
Mashed potatoes
429
00:48:17,117 --> 00:48:19,995
Twice baked potatoes
430
00:48:21,121 --> 00:48:24,625
Cajun roasted potatoes
431
00:48:26,919 --> 00:48:30,714
Potato salad
Stuffed baked potatoes
432
00:48:37,137 --> 00:48:43,769
Illegally
Detained.
433
00:48:45,896 --> 00:48:52,695
How man ls are in illegally?
She hit my foot real hard.
434
00:48:52,903 --> 00:48:58,117
Well, you shouldn't make a beautiful woman angry..
435
00:48:58,242 --> 00:49:01,662
I think there's somethin' broken in there, I swear.
This ain't no ordinary foot pain.
436
00:49:01,871 --> 00:49:06,667
You should apologize.
I should apologize?
She near crushed my foot, and i should apologize?
437
00:49:06,876 --> 00:49:11,881
I told you, don't write that letter.
But do you listen? No.
438
00:49:12,131 --> 00:49:16,927
Hey, look, all I said was Mexicans should stay in Mexico.
439
00:49:17,177 --> 00:49:20,306
Now, what's wrong with that?
440
00:49:31,275 --> 00:49:35,195
Well, god damn it, bit don't cost nothin' to apologize.
All right, then i'll apologize.
441
00:49:35,362 --> 00:49:42,161
Yes, but you have to apologize properly.
Well, what would you suggest?
442
00:49:42,286 --> 00:49:45,581
You should give her flowers.
443
00:49:47,291 --> 00:49:53,214
flowers?
Yeah, flowers. You always have to apologize with flowers.
444
00:49:53,380 --> 00:49:56,717
Where do you suggest I find 'em around here, huh?
445
00:49:56,926 --> 00:49:59,720
This ain't exactly the botanical gardens!
446
00:50:07,895 --> 00:50:09,855
What did you say?!
447
00:50:10,064 --> 00:50:16,445
I said your potatoes taste like downright manure!
448
00:50:16,779 --> 00:50:20,491
Now, you ever heard about seasonin' around here, huh?
449
00:51:33,314 --> 00:51:36,358
What the hell you got to be so jovial about, huh?
450
00:51:36,525 --> 00:51:40,112
I just received a letter from the United States
Justice Department.
451
00:51:40,321 --> 00:51:44,200
It was addressed to Mr. Emilio Ortiz.
That's me.
452
00:51:44,325 --> 00:51:46,535
Justice Department, huh?
What'd they have to say?
453
00:51:46,869 --> 00:51:52,583
Well, they say they just received my letter
And they're going to look into my case.
454
00:51:52,917 --> 00:51:57,421
Oh, look into your case, huh?
Yes.
Don't you know nothin', huh?
455
00:51:57,630 --> 00:52:04,303
You wait for them imbeciles at the justice department to do something about your case,
You might as well get really comfortable in here,
Emilio, 'cause this is where you're gonna stay!
456
00:52:04,428 --> 00:52:10,643
So what do I do?
Well, what you do is you don't send one letter. You don't send ten letters.
You send a hundred letters!
457
00:52:10,976 --> 00:52:17,483
And you keep sendin' 'em till they stop lookin' into your case and they do something about it!
You don't stop at the Justice Department.
There's plenty of folks out there to send letters to.
458
00:52:17,691 --> 00:52:23,322
You got your labor unions who got nothin' better to do than cause a fuss
on behalf of the immigrant.
459
00:52:23,447 --> 00:52:29,453
You got members of the senate subcommittee on labor who love stirring up trouble.
You got your Governor, always gonna make good with that Liberal element.
460
00:52:29,662 --> 00:52:34,250
And you got your Jew-Run media Who love gettin' in bed with them Liberals up in Washington, right?
461
00:52:34,375 --> 00:52:39,880
And you got your local paper
Did she like the flowers?
Who? What?
Madalena. Did she like the flowers?
462
00:52:40,089 --> 00:52:44,051
I reckon
she loved the flowers.
463
00:52:44,301 --> 00:52:47,888
Well, here. What she say?
464
00:52:52,184 --> 00:52:56,063
She say, Mr. Lowe, tell me
465
00:52:56,313 --> 00:53:00,192
Madalena: didn't you ever want to change anything?
466
00:53:00,401 --> 00:53:04,363
Leroy: Well, I suppose therewas a time not too long ago
When I wanted to change a few things.
467
00:53:04,530 --> 00:53:08,868
When I first made Grand Dragon, I looked at myself in the mirror,
My peaked hood proudly over my head,
468
00:53:09,076 --> 00:53:14,331
And I thought I was on top of the world. I believed I was gonna accomplish great and mighty things.
469
00:53:14,415 --> 00:53:18,669
But no matter what i did,
I didn't make much of a difference.
470
00:53:19,003 --> 00:53:22,423
The world is changin',
And maybe I was too blind to see.
471
00:53:22,590 --> 00:53:26,093
There's still folks out there who wanna keep dancin'
When the band's already gone home.
472
00:53:26,343 --> 00:53:28,512
But my feet are gettin' tired.
473
00:53:28,721 --> 00:53:34,935
Madalena: people can change if they want, Mr. Lowe.
But only if they really want.
474
00:53:35,144 --> 00:53:38,647
That's why I came here.
I have a lot of dreams.
475
00:53:38,981 --> 00:53:43,402
There is a place in Mexico,
Just on the other side of the border.
476
00:53:43,569 --> 00:53:46,405
The sun shines different there
477
00:53:46,530 --> 00:53:51,493
It makes even the dirt on the ground
Glow like little pieces of gold.
478
00:53:51,702 --> 00:53:55,873
And the air smells sweet, like mother's milk.
479
00:53:56,123 --> 00:53:59,585
The place is called Deseo,
that means wish.
480
00:53:59,793 --> 00:54:06,133
My wish is to live in Deseo and open a restaurant
With the money I save working here.
481
00:54:06,383 --> 00:54:09,220
I will cook all the food myself.
482
00:54:09,470 --> 00:54:13,515
I know a lot of recipes,
And each is right for someone.
483
00:54:13,724 --> 00:54:17,978
Leroy: well, you workin' so hard and all,
I'm sure you'll open that restaurant of yours in no time.
484
00:54:18,187 --> 00:54:22,524
Bet you're a hell of a cook, too.
Sure wish I could sample one of them soul-Fillin' recipes.
485
00:54:22,691 --> 00:54:27,613
I'm darn sick of these potatoes,
No matter how many awards they won.
486
00:54:37,331 --> 00:54:40,709
Leroy: hey. Who's it for?
Mr. Leroy Lowe.
487
00:54:41,043 --> 00:54:43,295
Well, hand it over,
will ya?
488
00:54:46,507 --> 00:54:50,469
Madalena: for the man that never smiles,
I will make my world famous
489
00:54:50,594 --> 00:54:54,306
Madalena moreno
cinnamon and sugar cookies.
490
00:54:54,515 --> 00:55:00,145
I make each one curl up at the corners
So it looks like a smile.
491
00:55:03,524 --> 00:55:07,695
For the man who is cold,
I will make lime and tequila pie.
492
00:55:08,028 --> 00:55:11,490
I add two eggs and a squeeze of lime juice.
493
00:55:11,615 --> 00:55:18,497
I will add a lot of tequila
So it will warm his stomach like fire.
494
00:55:18,664 --> 00:55:24,336
For the man who is very hungry,
I will make Mexican Polvorones
495
00:55:24,545 --> 00:55:28,591
With almond paste and powdered sugar.
496
00:55:48,694 --> 00:55:54,033
For the sick man,
I will make Chile Chocolate Cake
497
00:55:54,241 --> 00:55:59,496
With brown sugar, ancho Chile, and cayenne.
498
00:55:59,580 --> 00:56:06,629
Chile Chocolate Cake, can bring a dying man back to life
Like a magic potion.
499
00:56:26,148 --> 00:56:31,737
Hey, look, you might wanna pick up the pace there, boy.
500
00:56:31,946 --> 00:56:34,073
What the hell is wrong with you?
Come on!
501
00:56:34,281 --> 00:56:41,580
We send in all those letters to the Liberals and the Jews up in Washington,
And it don't make any difference.
502
00:56:41,664 --> 00:56:44,500
What? Why?
503
00:56:44,625 --> 00:56:49,672
Even if I get more work and better pay,
I will never be American enough.
504
00:56:51,590 --> 00:56:55,052
What the hell you talkin' about?
It's my hair!
505
00:56:57,221 --> 00:57:01,600
Your hair?
Yes, it's my hair.
506
00:57:01,767 --> 00:57:05,729
I will never look like dr. Ben Casey.
Who?
507
00:57:05,938 --> 00:57:09,608
Dr. Ben casey from the television show.
508
00:57:09,692 --> 00:57:12,152
He has beautiful hair.
509
00:57:12,361 --> 00:57:17,783
It doesn't matter how much I comb my hair,
How much pomade I put in my hair,
510
00:57:17,992 --> 00:57:21,662
I will never look like dr. Ben Casey.
511
00:57:21,829 --> 00:57:29,545
You can't just have a cause.
Americans have a cause and great hair.
512
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:44,643
Hey, maybe the good lord
Don't want you to look like that dr. Ben Casey fella,
513
00:57:44,727 --> 00:57:47,813
Ever thought about that?
514
00:57:55,696 --> 00:57:59,658
Quit that fussin'!
515
00:57:59,783 --> 00:58:05,623
We are gonna have to solve that coiffure predicament of yours
Before I lose my good wit!
516
00:58:42,952 --> 00:58:48,290
It's my hair, warden.
What? What about your hair?
517
00:58:48,499 --> 00:58:55,339
I don't know. It's just
It's just not what it used to be.
518
00:58:56,423 --> 00:59:00,636
Well, you just have weak follicles, Leroy.
519
00:59:00,761 --> 00:59:05,724
It's an hereditary condition that I was fortunate enough to elude.
520
00:59:05,849 --> 00:59:09,895
But what's that got to do with your ability to work? Hmm?
521
00:59:10,104 --> 00:59:15,943
I expect 35 crates a day from each and every one of my inmates,
And you just ain't Deliverin', Leroy..
522
00:59:16,277 --> 00:59:18,779
I just can't seem to pay attention to much of anything anymore.
I mean,.
523
00:59:18,946 --> 00:59:23,367
my will to live has gone with my good hair.
524
00:59:23,576 --> 00:59:29,415
Well, we can't let your follicle defect interfere with your work, Leroy.
That's just not acceptable.
525
00:59:29,623 --> 00:59:35,504
Well, warden, I know.
But if there was something you could do, out of the goodness of your heart
526
00:59:35,754 --> 00:59:41,594
What do you have in mind?
Well I was thinkin' about a wig.
527
00:59:41,802 --> 00:59:48,976
You know, somethin' fancy
Just might put the will to live right back in my heart.
528
00:59:52,813 --> 00:59:59,820
Well, it just so happens that my wife Priscilla
Owns the hair salon down on main street.
529
00:59:59,987 --> 01:00:04,700
She does highlighting, perm, hair color,
And she gives a good haircut, too.
530
01:00:04,825 --> 01:00:09,955
Look at this. Isn't this prize winning hair stylin'?
Oh. That's a beaut, for sure!
531
01:00:10,164 --> 01:00:12,124
A real beaut!
532
01:00:12,458 --> 01:00:17,129
Figure your missus could get her hands on a nice hair piece?
I mean, if she so inclined.
533
01:00:17,463 --> 01:00:21,342
Well, I'll put in a good word for you and she just might.
534
01:00:21,550 --> 01:00:26,931
But that hair piece is gonna be part of a payment plan, Leroy.
535
01:00:27,139 --> 01:00:31,894
It represents 25 extra hours of work that you owe me.
536
01:00:35,564 --> 01:00:41,153
I love my new hair!
This is better than dr. Ben Casey!
537
01:00:42,488 --> 01:00:48,077
I will wear it always!
You might wanna take that hair off sometimes.
538
01:00:48,410 --> 01:00:51,830
No! I never take it off!
539
01:00:51,956 --> 01:00:58,003
This is the most beautiful gift I have received in my life!
Thank you.
540
01:01:05,177 --> 01:01:09,473
You'll be happy to know
that for the second time in a row,
541
01:01:09,682 --> 01:01:15,854
Low Lee potatoes have been bestowed
The best potato in the south award.
542
01:01:15,938 --> 01:01:22,862
Such an award is not easy to obtain, mind you.
It takes a lot of hard work to create the perfect potato.
543
01:01:26,615 --> 01:01:29,869
Warden Merville here.
544
01:01:29,952 --> 01:01:33,873
What? Aphids?
545
01:01:33,956 --> 01:01:36,834
What do you mean, aphids?
546
01:01:41,547 --> 01:01:44,174
We got aphids!
547
01:03:17,101 --> 01:03:19,979
What are you making?
This here?
548
01:03:20,062 --> 01:03:24,984
I dabble in sculpture from time to time
Soap, potatoes, whatever's at hand.
549
01:03:25,109 --> 01:03:31,907
This here is a particularly fragrant bar of soap, see?
550
01:03:32,032 --> 01:03:37,580
Oh, a soap sculpture.
What is it?
551
01:03:37,788 --> 01:03:42,084
Can't you tell?
Are those eyes?
No, god damn it, those aren't eyes!
552
01:03:42,293 --> 01:03:47,006
I'm creating a desert rose out of a bar of soap.
You ain't never seen no rose?
553
01:03:48,674 --> 01:03:55,014
Hey, I never thought i'd say
anything like this, but
554
01:03:55,139 --> 01:03:59,226
There is somethin' special about that woman.
555
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:04,523
Well, she's a very special woman.
556
01:04:04,732 --> 01:04:11,030
She's smart, she's kind, Unpretentious, and she's a hell of a hard worker.
557
01:04:11,197 --> 01:04:13,365
And her eyes?
558
01:04:13,699 --> 01:04:19,371
Her eyes are as dark as the Texas midnight sky.
559
01:04:19,705 --> 01:04:25,085
And her hands?
Her hands are..
Soft like two
560
01:04:25,252 --> 01:04:28,172
Slices of wonder bread.
561
01:04:28,380 --> 01:04:30,633
And her lips?
562
01:04:30,841 --> 01:04:35,095
Her lips? Well, her lips are darn sugar plums!
563
01:04:36,263 --> 01:04:39,058
Hey, what you got there?
What you got there?
564
01:04:39,183 --> 01:04:42,895
It's from the Justice Department.
Really? Let's hear it.
565
01:04:44,772 --> 01:04:48,400
Emilio Ortiz, We are pleased to let you know that
566
01:04:48,734 --> 01:04:53,656
after carefully reviewing Your complaints of discriminatory practices,
567
01:04:53,864 --> 01:04:59,745
The United States Justice Department Has launched a civil-Rights investigation
Of the events leading to your arrest.
568
01:04:59,995 --> 01:05:02,748
I have a cause!
569
01:05:11,048 --> 01:05:16,887
Leroy: dear Madalena, Merry Christmas.
Sure, you can say East Texas look the same all year long
570
01:05:17,137 --> 01:05:20,432
Great stretches of dirt under a big sky
571
01:05:20,766 --> 01:05:26,188
But you can smell Christmas in the air when it come.
It's always been my favorite time of the year.
572
01:05:26,397 --> 01:05:32,111
When my Lorna was still alive, we decorated our living room
With all sort of fancy adornments.
573
01:05:32,194 --> 01:05:36,615
We needed four men just to carry
Our Christmas tree into the house.
574
01:05:36,824 --> 01:05:40,202
When lorna died, I became negligent
With my christmas ornamentation.
575
01:05:40,369 --> 01:05:44,582
I guess I was too preoccupied
With other less savory activities
576
01:05:44,832 --> 01:05:50,129
To take the time to reflect on the birth
Of our lord Jesus Christ. A darn shame.
577
01:05:50,254 --> 01:05:57,136
One christmas, Dr. Ben casey fall in love with a woman
Who was in a coma for 15 years.
578
01:05:57,261 --> 01:06:01,682
The romance last four episodes.
He what?
579
01:06:01,891 --> 01:06:06,770
Yes. He fell in love with her
when he operates her.
580
01:06:06,979 --> 01:06:09,982
She was so beautiful.
581
01:06:10,190 --> 01:06:15,654
What's that got to do with Christmas?
Everything.
582
01:06:15,863 --> 01:06:22,286
During Christmas, love is the most important thing,
Even if you are in a coma.
583
01:06:27,166 --> 01:06:30,461
Madalena: did i tell you my grandmother
Was born in Deseo?
584
01:06:30,794 --> 01:06:35,090
Her mother was born there, too,
and her mother's mother.
585
01:06:35,216 --> 01:06:39,178
When I was a little girl, my family visited Deseo.
586
01:06:39,303 --> 01:06:42,514
On Christmas day, we all made decorations.
587
01:06:42,848 --> 01:06:46,810
My mother made pi�atas.
My grandmother painted them.
588
01:06:47,019 --> 01:06:51,815
My aunt filled them with fruit.
Her mother put a rope on them.
589
01:06:52,024 --> 01:06:56,737
And I filled the house
with the decorations we made.
590
01:06:56,946 --> 01:07:01,200
Our christmas was very special.
591
01:07:01,325 --> 01:07:05,746
I hope this Christmas is special for you, too.
592
01:07:16,507 --> 01:07:20,219
Leroy Lowe, get in here!
593
01:07:20,302 --> 01:07:24,682
Can you believe this?
Look at this goddamn place!
594
01:07:24,932 --> 01:07:29,019
Well, it looks like somebody brought some Christmas cheer
Into your office there, warden, huh?
595
01:07:29,270 --> 01:07:31,438
Cheer?!
596
01:07:31,772 --> 01:07:36,026
Have you ever seen such frivolous embellishments in a warden's office?!
597
01:07:36,277 --> 01:07:41,574
This is a serious place, and I have to attend to pressing prison matters.
I don't need no cheerin'!
598
01:07:41,907 --> 01:07:46,203
Oh, I think it looks mighty festive myself, Warden.
I mean, from where I'm sittin'.
599
01:07:46,287 --> 01:07:51,542
It is blatant disrespect for my position,
That's what it is.
600
01:07:51,876 --> 01:07:54,712
I have enough problems to attend to
601
01:07:54,962 --> 01:07:59,049
Without having the distraction
Of these stupid Christmas ornaments!
602
01:08:00,050 --> 01:08:05,264
This winter has been unseasonably warm,
Even for East Texas weather,
603
01:08:05,389 --> 01:08:10,019
And now I'm staring down the dark abyss
604
01:08:10,269 --> 01:08:14,356
Of a bona fide aphid infestation!
605
01:08:16,901 --> 01:08:21,864
You should've seen the look on the warden's face.
what a spectacle, I tell ya.
606
01:08:22,072 --> 01:08:28,287
And all around us, it was Christmas.
How's your rose?
607
01:08:28,412 --> 01:08:34,752
Almost done.
Just a few more touches.
608
01:08:35,002 --> 01:08:41,759
Are you going to give it to the beautiful Madalena?
Next time I'm in the warden's office, I'm gonna try to get it to her somehow.
609
01:08:42,009 --> 01:08:47,389
I just gotta work out the logistics.
I wanna see the look on her face when she see it.
610
01:08:47,556 --> 01:08:53,312
I been workin' on it for two months.
Sure hope she'll like it.
611
01:08:53,437 --> 01:08:56,148
Guard:Light Out!
612
01:09:01,362 --> 01:09:06,867
Merry Christmas, Leroy.
Merry Christmas to you, too, Emilio.
613
01:09:12,456 --> 01:09:16,877
I got a call from the Governor today.
614
01:09:17,086 --> 01:09:20,631
Seems that darn Mexican you share your cell with
615
01:09:20,965 --> 01:09:25,261
Has caused a bona fide heap of trouble.
616
01:09:25,386 --> 01:09:30,307
He has taken it upon himself to undermine my authority,
617
01:09:30,391 --> 01:09:36,647
The authority of the Tuna County Sheriff's Office,
And the authority of every law enforcement
618
01:09:36,981 --> 01:09:42,862
News of false imprisonment charges
Has traveled all the way up to the Governor's ears.
619
01:09:43,070 --> 01:09:47,992
He's asking me to make these slanderous accusations go away.
620
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:53,372
He can't afford the scandal.
It's an election year, and he's scared that he just might lose..
621
01:09:53,497 --> 01:09:56,292
the colored constituency.
622
01:09:56,417 --> 01:10:00,379
Excuse me, Warden.
What?
623
01:10:00,504 --> 01:10:06,719
Well, I couldn't help but notice
It's 40 minutes past 5:00 and
624
01:10:09,513 --> 01:10:14,059
Well, I can see that for myself, Leroy.
625
01:10:14,268 --> 01:10:18,147
That's why I have a timepiece on the wall.
What's your goddamn point?
626
01:10:18,397 --> 01:10:22,735
Well, there's a
Well, there's a woman
627
01:10:23,068 --> 01:10:28,741
Who, uh
She straightens up your office punctually at 5:00 every week,
628
01:10:29,074 --> 01:10:34,413
and I
II don't see her here today,
629
01:10:34,496 --> 01:10:36,665
And i was just wonderin', you know
630
01:10:36,999 --> 01:10:42,463
You mean the maid?
Yes, sir, that one.
631
01:10:42,630 --> 01:10:48,636
Well, if you must know,
I terminated her employment in this institution.
632
01:10:51,472 --> 01:10:55,434
You what?
Why?
633
01:10:55,559 --> 01:11:01,565
I've had just about enough of these subversive fence hoppers
Undermining my authority!
634
01:11:01,774 --> 01:11:06,445
One takes it upon himself to file false imprisonment charges,
635
01:11:06,529 --> 01:11:12,660
And the other one takes the liberty
Of decorating my entire office with Christmas ornaments,
636
01:11:12,993 --> 01:11:16,539
Making a mockery of my repute!
637
01:11:16,705 --> 01:11:22,628
Why are you so concerned about the whereabouts of the goddamn maid?!
638
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,725
let's move on, shall we?
639
01:11:37,059 --> 01:11:39,061
Seems you have
640
01:11:39,270 --> 01:11:43,274
Fallen behind in your potato boxing again.
641
01:11:43,524 --> 01:11:48,320
Thirty-Five crates a day is the expected quota,
As you are well aware.
642
01:11:50,072 --> 01:11:54,243
My beautiful desert rose is gone.
643
01:11:54,493 --> 01:11:57,788
She's
she's gone.
644
01:11:58,122 --> 01:12:02,501
Desert rose?
Yeah.
645
01:12:02,585 --> 01:12:06,589
A desert rose she was.
646
01:12:06,797 --> 01:12:11,302
My sweet desert rose.
647
01:12:22,104 --> 01:12:26,108
I have good news.
You do?
Yes.
648
01:12:26,317 --> 01:12:31,822
I received my parole letter today.
I will be released in a week!
649
01:12:35,367 --> 01:12:39,288
That's a hell of a momentous occasion.
650
01:12:39,538 --> 01:12:44,251
I guess having a cause can do great things for a man.
651
01:12:44,501 --> 01:12:49,215
I think I'm gonna have more causes when I get out.
652
01:12:49,423 --> 01:12:54,178
Well, you go ahead and do that, boy. A man is nothin' without
a cause, you know, nothin'.
653
01:13:09,568 --> 01:13:13,072
Did she write you?
No.
654
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:17,117
Grand kleagle of Texas.
Who?
655
01:13:17,326 --> 01:13:20,162
The grand
Never mind.
656
01:13:21,914 --> 01:13:23,582
What he say?
657
01:13:23,707 --> 01:13:28,879
He says, uh
Ratt Sloan, the Grand Dragon
658
01:13:29,213 --> 01:13:33,551
Of the Texas Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
659
01:13:33,634 --> 01:13:40,140
Absconded with klan funds and evaded to Paraguay
660
01:13:40,349 --> 01:13:43,686
With Ms. Loretta Gale.
661
01:13:43,894 --> 01:13:47,231
the klan's regional secretary.
662
01:13:49,650 --> 01:13:52,403
He's askin' me what I'm gonna do about it.
663
01:13:52,653 --> 01:13:56,448
What are you gonna do?
664
01:13:56,657 --> 01:13:59,702
I guess
I'm gonna think about it.
665
01:14:12,673 --> 01:14:16,260
I will always cherish my new hair and our
time together, Leroy.
666
01:14:16,468 --> 01:14:19,305
And I hope I become a proud American like you.
667
01:14:19,513 --> 01:14:23,767
Lookin' at you right now, I see nothin' but a honest
to god, bona fide American!
668
01:14:23,976 --> 01:14:27,980
Oh, thank you, Leroy.
I feel very American today.
669
01:14:28,314 --> 01:14:33,152
And when I get out, I will take up a cause
For each and every one of my friends
670
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:37,865
who are still in here Waiting for freedom
and better working conditions.
671
01:14:38,199 --> 01:14:42,912
How many friends we talkin' about, now?
Oh, I have many friends!
672
01:14:43,245 --> 01:14:45,497
You do, now?
673
01:14:47,791 --> 01:14:50,669
Oh, I almost forgot.
674
01:14:50,836 --> 01:14:55,883
If you ever visit Mexico, you will need this.
675
01:15:19,323 --> 01:15:22,243
I'll be
676
01:15:24,328 --> 01:15:30,876
That night, as I laid in my bed,
I pondered long and hard about the last letter I received from the klan.
677
01:15:31,085 --> 01:15:35,965
And I thought back to the heydays,
When I traveled this United States of America
678
01:15:36,298 --> 01:15:42,388
To free the land of socialism, papism, semitism,
And all other sorts of isms,
679
01:15:42,596 --> 01:15:46,809
When I roused the great crowds of hundreds
Under the glow of a burnin' cross.
680
01:15:46,976 --> 01:15:52,356
Memories came back to me like a flood,
Like the Rio Grande when it break out its banks
681
01:15:52,565 --> 01:15:56,694
And invades the East Texas plains
With wondrous force.
682
01:15:56,777 --> 01:16:00,948
And when the flood of memories placated,
I could see clear as day. The cause that laid in front of me.
683
01:16:01,282 --> 01:16:04,827
The cause that laid in front of me.
684
01:16:05,035 --> 01:16:10,416
I started to write. Fire and brimstone,
Like I used toback in the heydays.
685
01:16:10,624 --> 01:16:17,339
I wrote the United States Justice Department,
The labor unions, Members of the senate subcommittee on labor,
686
01:16:17,548 --> 01:16:23,721
The Governor of Texas, local papers,National publications, and even a few
Of the liberal elements up in Washington.
687
01:16:23,804 --> 01:16:30,311
I wrote on behalf of every fence hopper,
Wetback, and four footer serving time at Low Lee,
688
01:16:30,519 --> 01:16:34,773
Each and every one of them
Who was ever arrested by a corrupt law enforcement,
689
01:16:34,899 --> 01:16:37,902
Wrongfully convicted of a crime by a crooked justice system,
690
01:16:38,110 --> 01:16:42,865
Who was ever imprisoned by a two-Faced,
Profiteering warden driven by greed.
691
01:16:43,073 --> 01:16:46,952
I wrote on behalf of them slandered, degraded,
Beaten down,
692
01:16:47,161 --> 01:16:51,999
unjustly imprisoned souls
Who had not given up on America.
693
01:16:52,291 --> 01:16:58,255
I wrote until I used up every word I ever knew.
694
01:17:06,388 --> 01:17:15,724
===ryanon==
695
01:17:21,445 --> 01:17:26,992
Well, if it ain't Leroy Lowe.
Have a seat.
696
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:37,086
These? Aphids.
697
01:17:37,419 --> 01:17:42,758
Aphids infiltrated my fields and destroyed my entire crop.
698
01:17:44,593 --> 01:17:49,932
But let's move on to a different topic, shall we?
699
01:17:50,140 --> 01:17:55,187
You may be interested to know that the Justice Department
Has just announced..
700
01:17:55,521 --> 01:18:00,192
a full scale civil-Rights
investigation here at Low Lee.
701
01:18:00,526 --> 01:18:03,821
Into farm labor practices.
702
01:18:03,904 --> 01:18:07,366
They speculate that I violated
703
01:18:07,575 --> 01:18:11,996
The Civil Rights of farm workers working in this institution!
704
01:18:12,204 --> 01:18:14,540
How do you like them beans?!
705
01:18:14,748 --> 01:18:19,044
Me, Merve Merville,
upstanding civil servant,
706
01:18:19,253 --> 01:18:24,717
Accused of violating Civil Rights.
Ain't that somethin'? Yeah.
707
01:18:26,927 --> 01:18:31,849
I've also been informed that the labor unions are planning a march on Austin
708
01:18:31,932 --> 01:18:36,687
To demand the release of certain inmates here at Low Lee.
709
01:18:36,937 --> 01:18:40,608
And the Governor just called me and demanded my head on a plate!
710
01:18:40,858 --> 01:18:45,112
The liberal media has decided to take a break
From the coverage of the Gubernatorial Election
711
01:18:45,446 --> 01:18:52,578
To find out all they can about these so-Called
Civil Rights Violations!
712
01:18:52,786 --> 01:19:00,085
And do you know who they quote as being the source
of these slanderous rumors?
713
01:19:00,294 --> 01:19:04,506
A certain individual
by the name of Leroy Lowe,
714
01:19:04,715 --> 01:19:08,719
Inmate number 24994
of Low Lee Tuna prison!
715
01:19:08,969 --> 01:19:12,389
Oh, that.
Yes, you son of a bitch, that!
716
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:17,186
I was just doin' what you instructed me to do.
You what?!
717
01:19:17,519 --> 01:19:21,565
If I remember correctly, it was you who told me
718
01:19:21,774 --> 01:19:26,153
I should become a contributing member of our society.
719
01:19:34,203 --> 01:19:39,959
And i figured what better place
To start contributing than right here.
720
01:19:41,085 --> 01:19:45,756
You filthy, feculent piece of scum!
721
01:19:46,006 --> 01:19:50,135
You have destroyed my reputation and squandered my name!
722
01:19:50,344 --> 01:19:56,183
And i'm gonna make damn sure that you spend every last moment
of your time here
723
01:19:56,517 --> 01:19:58,978
in hell!!
724
01:19:59,061 --> 01:20:03,816
Before warden Merville was dragged to court
To face charges of unsavory business practices,
725
01:20:04,024 --> 01:20:07,111
He made sure I toiled in that potato field
726
01:20:07,319 --> 01:20:11,115
Every day for the remainder of my sentence.
727
01:20:11,323 --> 01:20:15,995
I tasted that bitter dirt on my tongue
And felt the sting of the desert sun on my back.
728
01:20:16,161 --> 01:20:19,707
And for the first time in my life,
729
01:20:19,957 --> 01:20:25,462
I felt like a true, bona fide White Knight. 01:20:32,553
It was like I finally earned that name
I was given so long ago.
731
01:21:01,123 --> 01:21:06,337
And even though I didn't understand
A single darn word she wrote me,
732
01:21:06,670 --> 01:21:11,258
I saved that blessed correspondence
And each and every other one I received
733
01:21:11,550 --> 01:21:17,681
from that day on
Like they was a treasure made of gold.
734
01:21:21,268 --> 01:21:24,855
The last letter I wrote, was to the Grand Kleagle
735
01:21:25,105 --> 01:21:30,194
To announce the White Knight
Had found a new cause and moved on,
736
01:21:30,402 --> 01:21:36,909
And that I sure hoped Ratt Sloan had found happiness
Down in Paraguay with miss Loretta Gale.
737
01:21:38,661 --> 01:21:45,834
And on a hot August day in 1979,
I walked out of Low Lee as free man.
738
01:21:57,096 --> 01:22:01,225
That day, I walked away from Low Lee,
Away from the klan,
739
01:22:01,433 --> 01:22:04,895
Away from everything I ever knew, 01:22:10,359
But it didn't scare me one bit.
741
01:22:13,654 --> 01:22:19,326
Because I knew my way
South,.
742
01:22:19,660 --> 01:22:23,080
to the other side of the Rio Grande,
743
01:22:23,163 --> 01:22:28,252
To a small border town called Deseo.
744
01:22:35,708 --> 01:23:10,670
Lah abis, kumpuan pitih sibu surang!!! XD
