[male narrator] If you asked most peoplewhere Knockemstiff, Ohio
4
00:01:04,666 --> 00:01:06,750
or Coal Creek, West Virginia were,
5
00:01:06,833 --> 00:01:09,458
they probably couldn't point 'em out
to you on a map.
6
00:01:11,458 --> 00:01:14,125
But I guarantee,
they'd be there all the same.
7
00:01:17,083 --> 00:01:21,625
How and why so many people
from those two piddlin' places on that map
8
00:01:21,708 --> 00:01:25,000
could end up connected
has a lot to do with our story.
9
00:01:26,625 --> 00:01:28,833
Some would claim it was just dumb luck,
10
00:01:28,916 --> 00:01:31,416
while others might swear
it was God's intention.
11
00:01:32,083 --> 00:01:35,416
But I'd say
with the way things turned out,
12
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:36,916
it was a little bit of both.
13
00:01:39,291 --> 00:01:43,458
In 1957, it'd take someone
approximately ten hours
14
00:01:43,541 --> 00:01:46,125
to drive from Coal Creek
to a paper mill town
15
00:01:46,208 --> 00:01:48,208
in southern Ohio called Meade.
16
00:01:48,750 --> 00:01:53,291
Once you got to Meade,
Knockemstiff was only a short drive away.

[birds chirping]
18
00:02:02,125 --> 00:02:04,750
Four hundred or so people
lived in Knockemstiff
19
00:02:04,833 --> 00:02:06,541
in 1957,
20
00:02:06,916 --> 00:02:11,875
nearly all of them connected by blood
by one godforsaken calamity or another,
21
00:02:12,375 --> 00:02:15,750
be it lust or necessity
or just plain ignorance.

[dog barking]

00:02:20,541 --> 00:02:25,125
The Russells had rented the house on top
of the Mitchell flats for nine years now.
24
00:02:25,666 --> 00:02:29,416
But most of the neighbors down below
still considered them outsiders.

00:02:47,291 --> 00:02:50,000
in a small clearing behind his house.
31
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,041
He came every morning and evening
to talk to God.
32
00:02:54,458 --> 00:02:58,458
It seemed to his son that his father
fought the Devil all the time.
33
00:02:58,541 --> 00:03:00,708
[Willard] Now, you pray on...
34
00:03:01,625 --> 00:03:02,791
what happened today.
35
00:03:03,291 --> 00:03:05,208
Now, remember, be honest.

00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:07,625
No bullshittin', he'll know.
37
00:03:09,791 --> 00:03:11,125
[narrator] When he prayed,
38
00:03:11,208 --> 00:03:15,041
his mind would often drift back
to the war in the South Pacific
39
00:03:15,125 --> 00:03:18,750
and the day that he and a couple
of other soldiers came across the body
40
00:03:18,833 --> 00:03:21,333
of Gunnery Sergeant Miller Jones.

You take pictures?
76
00:05:30,166 --> 00:05:33,750
[narrator] In the years to come,Carl would call Sandy "the bait,"
77
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:35,583
and she'd called him "the shooter."
78

Only when I find a smile
pretty enough to photograph, that is.

00:42:44,625 --> 00:42:48,250
Come on, she likes lanky old studs
like yourself. Come on.
707
00:42:52,083 --> 00:42:53,958
What's going on here, mister?
708
00:42:54,041 --> 00:42:56,500
Oh, come on, Jesus Christ, huh?
709
00:42:57,833 --> 00:43:00,750
Pay attention. It's like I said,
you're gonna fuck my wife
710
00:43:00,833 --> 00:43:03,125
and I'm gonna take some pictures,
that's all.
711
00:43:04,791 --> 00:43:05,708
Your wife?
712
00:43:06,916 --> 00:43:07,791
Come on.
713
00:43:09,208 --> 00:43:11,125
I've never heard of such a thing.
714
00:43:12,041 --> 00:43:13,875
I thought you was a good Christian...
715
00:43:13,958 --> 00:43:16,666
Shut the fuck up
and get that welfare suit off, son.
716
00:43:18,083 --> 00:43:20,625
- Jesus.
- Well, I've been run through the wringer!
717
00:43:22,458 --> 00:43:24,625
Do you really want these hands
touching you?
718
00:43:24,708 --> 00:43:25,791
Oh, come on, sweetie.
719
00:43:25,875 --> 00:43:29,625
We'll just take a few pictures and then
the big dumb bastard will leave us alone.
720
00:43:29,708 --> 00:43:32,458
Woman... look at me.
721
00:43:33,875 --> 00:43:36,583
- [Carl] Do what I say, you son of a bitch.
- [gun cocks]
722
00:43:44,625 --> 00:43:45,583
No, I ain't.
723
00:43:45,666 --> 00:43:47,041
[breathing heavily]
724
00:43:49,791 --> 00:43:51,166
[Carl] Oh, Jesus.
725
00:43:57,541 --> 00:43:59,916
Carl, maybe we should just
get out of here.
726
00:44:01,375 --> 00:44:02,416
Oh, forget it. Jesus.
727
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:04,208
- [Sandy] I'm cold, Carl.
- I know it's cold
728
00:44:04,291 --> 00:44:06,833
[narrator] Roy looked upat the clouds drifting by and wondered
729
00:44:06,916 --> 00:44:10,583
if that's what death would be like,
just floating away in the air.
730
00:44:13,083 --> 00:44:16,541
He preached on it for years,
but still didn't know what to expect.
731
00:44:18,125 --> 00:44:19,541
Just one thing.
732
00:44:20,041 --> 00:44:21,125
Yeah, what's that?
733
00:44:22,250 --> 00:44:23,833
Her name is Lenora.
734
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:27,125
What the fuck you talking about?
735
00:44:29,958 --> 00:44:30,958
My little girl.
736
00:44:32,291 --> 00:44:33,708
- Lenor...
- [gunshot]
737
00:44:35,791 --> 00:44:37,000
[gunshot]
738
00:44:40,583 --> 00:44:41,416
[Carl] Come on.
739
00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:44,041
[narrator]
This was still early days for the pair,
740
00:44:44,125 --> 00:44:46,541
and Carl was still working out
the particulars.
741
00:44:46,625 --> 00:44:47,583
[Carl] God damn...
742
00:44:47,666 --> 00:44:51,375
He realized that he would have
to get more selective with his models
743
00:44:51,458 --> 00:44:53,208
if he wanted to keep Sandy on board.
744
00:44:53,291 --> 00:44:56,208
[Carl] Get some shots off down there
while the light's still good.
745
00:45:07,166 --> 00:45:08,833
[car door opens and closes]
746
00:45:08,916 --> 00:45:10,375
[man] Good day, ma'am.
747
00:45:10,458 --> 00:45:12,000
- You Emma Russell?
- Yes.
748
00:45:14,375 --> 00:45:17,583
[man] I have some papers for you to sign
and the boy here's all yours.
749
00:45:17,666 --> 00:45:18,833
Here, let me have that.
750
00:45:20,291 --> 00:45:21,291
[door opens]
751
00:45:25,833 --> 00:45:26,875
[Emma] Arvin?
752
00:45:31,250 --> 00:45:33,291
Here, you give me that heavy old bag.
753
00:45:36,500 --> 00:45:37,875
[cries] Oh...
754
00:45:39,375 --> 00:45:40,541
[sobs]
755
00:45:43,833 --> 00:45:45,166
[Emma clicks tongue] Oh...
756
00:45:47,416 --> 00:45:48,791
Oh, sweetie,
757
00:45:48,875 --> 00:45:51,208
we are so happy you're here.
758
00:45:54,041 --> 00:45:55,291
This here is your...
759
00:45:55,958 --> 00:45:57,416
your Uncle Earskell.
760
00:45:57,916 --> 00:45:58,791
Hey, there.
761
00:45:59,958 --> 00:46:02,083
This is Lenora.
762
00:46:03,750 --> 00:46:05,875
Lenora is your stepsister.
763
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:07,541
Hi, Arvin.
764
00:46:10,291 --> 00:46:11,125
Hi.
765
00:46:23,083 --> 00:46:24,250
[Emma] Here we go.
766
00:46:38,500 --> 00:46:40,416
[Earskell] Oh, here we go.
767
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:44,458
- [Lenora] Happy birthday, Arvin.
- [Emma] Happy birthday, honey.
768
00:46:44,541 --> 00:46:46,833
- [Lenora] Happy birthday!
- [Emma] Oh, no.
769
00:46:47,625 --> 00:46:51,000
[Lenora] ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
770
00:46:53,333 --> 00:46:55,291
Happy birthday.
771
00:46:55,375 --> 00:46:57,291
[both chuckle]
772
00:46:58,041 --> 00:46:59,333
[inhales deeply]
773
00:46:59,416 --> 00:47:00,333
All right.
774
00:47:02,375 --> 00:47:04,958
[Emma] Make a wish
before that candle burns out.
775
00:47:05,041 --> 00:47:07,000
[Earskell] It looks like a dandy cake.
776
00:47:10,791 --> 00:47:13,041
- Arvin!
- All right, hang on.
777
00:47:17,875 --> 00:47:20,000
[plates clinking]
778
00:47:20,625 --> 00:47:21,541
[Arvin] Thank you.
779
00:47:24,666 --> 00:47:25,625
[clears throat]
780
00:47:26,916 --> 00:47:27,750
Well...
781
00:47:28,708 --> 00:47:30,250
This was your daddy's.
782
00:47:31,208 --> 00:47:32,166
[Earskell sighs]
783
00:47:48,125 --> 00:47:49,125
[Emma] What's that?
784
00:47:50,833 --> 00:47:52,958
[Easrkell]
That's Willard's gun he gave me.
785
00:47:53,666 --> 00:47:55,416
I figure it's time to pass it on.
786
00:47:56,875 --> 00:47:58,250
That's a German Luger.
787
00:47:59,416 --> 00:48:01,083
Brought back from the war.
788
00:48:02,916 --> 00:48:06,083
I... got no use for handguns myself.
789
00:48:06,166 --> 00:48:08,166
But I figure he'd want you to have it.
790
00:48:15,750 --> 00:48:19,291
[sniffles] It's the best present
I ever got. Thank you, Uncle Earskell.
791
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:22,375
Shotgun's what'll do you good.
792
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,500
Maybe, but I don't have
anything else of his, so...
793
00:48:27,083 --> 00:48:28,375
thank you. [sniffles]
794
00:48:31,125 --> 00:48:32,666
Time does pass.
795
00:48:35,416 --> 00:48:36,666
[boy] Get down there.
796
00:48:36,750 --> 00:48:40,250
[narrator] Boys in school likedto pick on Lenora for her pious manner
797
00:48:40,333 --> 00:48:41,625
and pinched face.
798
00:48:42,125 --> 00:48:46,083
[boy] You're so damn ugly, I'd need a sack
over your head just to get a hard-on.
799
00:48:46,583 --> 00:48:50,083
[narrator] Gene Dinwoodie,Tommy Matson, and Orville Buckman
800
00:48:50,166 --> 00:48:53,541
had managed to corner her
by the dumpster behind school.
801
00:48:53,625 --> 00:48:56,083
[boy] Probably fucked your brother,
you brother fucker.
802
00:48:57,583 --> 00:48:58,708
[Arvin] Hey!
803
00:49:00,708 --> 00:49:03,916
- [boy] Come on, get him!
- [Lenora] Please stop! Stop!
804
00:49:05,333 --> 00:49:06,458
God dammit! [grunts]
805
00:49:06,541 --> 00:49:07,875
[groans]
806
00:49:07,958 --> 00:49:10,250
- [Arvin] Get the fuck off me!
- [Lenora] Stop it!
807
00:49:10,333 --> 00:49:11,916
[Arvin] Get off of me! Fuck!
808
00:49:12,416 --> 00:49:14,791
[narrator]
Arvin loved her like his own sister.
809
00:49:14,875 --> 00:49:17,708
- [boy] Sister fucker.
- He would do anything to protect her.
810
00:49:18,833 --> 00:49:20,958
No matter what the weather was,
811
00:49:21,041 --> 00:49:23,750
Lenora would visit her mother's grave
after school.
812
00:49:24,708 --> 00:49:27,208
Some days
she'd even read the Bible out loud,
813
00:49:27,291 --> 00:49:29,166
and imagine her mother was listening.
814
00:49:30,250 --> 00:49:32,083
Though he wasn't one for praying
815
00:49:32,666 --> 00:49:35,166
Arvin would often drive her
and keep her company.
816
00:49:36,333 --> 00:49:37,500
[Lenora] Arvin?
817
00:49:44,875 --> 00:49:47,500
It was a sight
you didn't end up in the hospital.
818
00:49:48,291 --> 00:49:52,000
Yeah, well, there's a lot of no good
sons of bitches out there. [grunts]
819
00:49:52,583 --> 00:49:56,250
Well, Lord, Arvin, you've been saying that
almost since the day I met you.
820
00:49:56,875 --> 00:49:58,625
You know, that's because it's true.
821
00:50:00,708 --> 00:50:03,875
Maybe you should try praying for 'em then.
Would that hurt none?
822
00:50:05,500 --> 00:50:09,333
You already do enough for all of us,
and where's it doing you much good, huh?
823
00:50:10,500 --> 00:50:12,125
You know what would do you good?
824
00:50:12,791 --> 00:50:16,416
To not be wandering behind school
by your own self, like I told you.
825
00:50:18,083 --> 00:50:19,625
Fuckin' Gene Dinwoodie.
826
00:50:23,750 --> 00:50:25,208
Do you ever think about...
827
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,458
how we ended up orphans
living in the same house?
828
00:50:30,625 --> 00:50:31,583
No.
829
00:50:32,583 --> 00:50:34,666
Besides, you might not even be an orphan.
830
00:50:35,625 --> 00:50:37,458
As far as everybody
around here is concerned
831
00:50:37,541 --> 00:50:40,333
your daddy's probably still out there
somewhere alive and kicking.
832
00:50:42,500 --> 00:50:46,000
Fuck, he might even come over that hill
any day now, dancing a jig.
833
00:50:47,916 --> 00:50:49,083
[chuckles] I hope so.
834
00:50:50,666 --> 00:50:52,583
I pray every day he will.
835
00:50:53,916 --> 00:50:55,625
Even if it means he did something?
836
00:50:56,250 --> 00:50:58,083
I've already forgiven him.
837
00:50:58,583 --> 00:50:59,500
Hm.
838
00:51:00,833 --> 00:51:02,041
We could start over.
839
00:51:03,750 --> 00:51:05,250
That's crazy.
840
00:51:05,333 --> 00:51:06,458
No, it's not.
841
00:51:11,125 --> 00:51:12,291
What about your father?
842
00:51:16,083 --> 00:51:17,208
What about him?
843
00:51:18,583 --> 00:51:20,041
I know what my daddy did.
844
00:51:24,750 --> 00:51:25,666
Well...
845
00:51:26,916 --> 00:51:28,458
forgivin' him...
846
00:51:29,708 --> 00:51:30,875
if he could come back.
847
00:51:30,958 --> 00:51:33,791
Well, shut your mouth. We both know
that ain't never gonna happen.
848
00:51:35,250 --> 00:51:36,875
I'm sorry for bringing it up.
849
00:51:36,958 --> 00:51:38,333
[sighs] It's all right.
850
00:51:40,208 --> 00:51:43,875
You know,
I appreciate you always coming with me.
851
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,625
I know you'd probably rather
be doing something else.
852
00:51:51,750 --> 00:51:54,416
We're kin.
We gotta look out for each other.
853
00:51:54,500 --> 00:51:56,083
[man] Lenora! Arvin!
854
00:51:56,708 --> 00:51:57,541
C'mere!
855
00:51:57,625 --> 00:51:58,625
[man coughs]
856
00:51:58,708 --> 00:52:00,041
I might be gone a while.
857
00:52:00,708 --> 00:52:02,041
[man coughs]
858
00:52:02,125 --> 00:52:03,416
I'll be praying for you.
859
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:04,458
[man coughs]
860
00:52:05,291 --> 00:52:06,583
[man] In the meantime...
861
00:52:07,500 --> 00:52:08,416
[grunts]
862
00:52:09,666 --> 00:52:11,916
My sister's boy from down in Tennessee
863
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,875
is gonna come up and take my place.
864
00:52:15,250 --> 00:52:17,333
He just graduated from one of them...
865
00:52:17,875 --> 00:52:19,166
Bible colleges.
866
00:52:20,041 --> 00:52:24,250
Well, I would appreciate it if you all
would try and make him feel welcome.
867
00:52:26,208 --> 00:52:29,625
Tell your grandmama I'm asking folks
to bring a dish next sermon.
868
00:52:29,708 --> 00:52:30,666
[Lenora] Of course.
869
00:52:31,666 --> 00:52:33,916
[man 2] What you got planned
after school, Arvin?
870
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,916
Cliff Baker says he can get me
on the crew laying blacktop
871
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,583
on the Greenbrier stretch off Route 60.
872
00:52:39,666 --> 00:52:40,583
[man 2] Yeah.
873
00:52:40,666 --> 00:52:42,541
I'm probably just gonna do that. You?
874
00:52:42,625 --> 00:52:44,916
Oh, my old man's holding me here.
875
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,000
Better than getting shipped off
to Vietnam I expect.
876
00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:49,708
Yeah, I suppose so.
877
00:52:50,583 --> 00:52:52,041
[Emma] Everyone says
878
00:52:52,541 --> 00:52:55,250
they like the way I do them, but I...

1229
01:14:30,958 --> 01:14:32,125
[Lee] Untraceable.
1230
01:14:32,208 --> 01:14:33,791
[loud bang, cutlery clanking]
1231
01:14:33,875 --> 01:14:34,875
[waitress] Sorry!
1232
01:14:36,250 --> 01:14:40,333
[Leroy] Word starts going around Sheriff's
got his eye on the girls at Tecumseh.
1233
01:14:41,125 --> 01:14:42,958
That's gonna cost me my money.
1234
01:14:44,250 --> 01:14:47,083
Me losing money
is gonna cost you your cut.
1235
01:14:48,041 --> 01:14:49,708
It didn't have anything to do with you.
1236
01:14:50,916 --> 01:14:51,875
It does now.
1237
01:14:53,541 --> 01:14:56,708
Bobo, you ever go and beat the shit
outta someone I made my money off?
1238
01:14:58,041 --> 01:14:58,916
[Bobo] No.
1239
01:14:59,500 --> 01:15:02,166
Never crossed my mind,
thinking about that.
1240
01:15:05,791 --> 01:15:08,291
Guy running against me
is going door-to-door
1241
01:15:08,375 --> 01:15:11,208
telling folk I look the other way
when it comes to Sandy.
1242
01:15:13,708 --> 01:15:15,000
Bobo, don't eat my scraps.
1243
01:15:16,375 --> 01:15:17,625
Give over the envelope.
1244
01:15:23,250 --> 01:15:24,208
[Leroy sniffles]
1245
01:15:34,708 --> 01:15:35,958
There's debt you owe me.
1246
01:15:37,375 --> 01:15:39,500
What I'm gonna lose at the bar.
1247
01:15:39,583 --> 01:15:40,750
Horse shit.
1248
01:15:40,833 --> 01:15:42,416
You ain't losing nothing there.
1249
01:15:43,041 --> 01:15:44,000
[Leroy] Yeah?
1250
01:15:44,583 --> 01:15:47,208
And you know that
'cause you're a loaded diaper
1251
01:15:47,291 --> 01:15:49,208
like everyone else who works for me
1252
01:15:49,291 --> 01:15:51,750
or because all of Meade
knows you're dirty?
1253
01:15:53,333 --> 01:15:54,208
[sniffles]
1254
01:16:01,166 --> 01:16:03,416
That's your weekly earnings
'til we're square.
1255
01:16:05,708 --> 01:16:07,708
Now, get the fuck out of my diner. [sighs]
1256
01:16:09,666 --> 01:16:12,625
[narrator] Bodecker knewthat Leroy and his errand boy Bobo
1257
01:16:12,708 --> 01:16:15,541
would kill him soon enough
if he made any more trouble.
1258
01:16:17,500 --> 01:16:19,500
He had an election to think about
1259
01:16:19,583 --> 01:16:21,708
and couldn't afford any liabilities.
1260
01:16:22,416 --> 01:16:26,333
[Leroy] My bar is off limits and so isyour whore sister, you understand?
1261
01:16:27,875 --> 01:16:29,416
[man] Thanks for stopping.
1262
01:16:34,125 --> 01:16:35,083
[door closes]
1263
01:16:40,666 --> 01:16:43,875
- [Sandy] What's your name, sweetie?
- Private Gary Matthew Bryson.
1264
01:16:44,375 --> 01:16:45,750
[Sandy] That's a nice name.
1265
01:16:46,458 --> 01:16:50,208
[Carl] You sound like you're at roll call.
Relax, boy.
1266
01:16:50,291 --> 01:16:52,000
[Sandy] Which of them you go by?
1267
01:16:52,083 --> 01:16:55,875
Gary. That was my dad's name,
so at home, I'm Gary Matthew.
1268
01:16:55,958 --> 01:16:58,333
[Sandy] Matthew?
That's from the Bible, ain't it, Carl?
1269
01:16:58,416 --> 01:17:00,416
[Carl] Everything's from the Bible, honey.
1270
01:17:00,500 --> 01:17:02,916
Hell, Ol' Matthew,
he's one of the Apostles.
1271
01:17:03,416 --> 01:17:06,041
You probably knew your name
came out of the Bible, didn't you?
1272
01:17:07,541 --> 01:17:10,125
[Gary] We didn't go to church much
when I was a kid.
1273
01:17:11,083 --> 01:17:12,708
But you've been baptized, right?
1274
01:17:13,500 --> 01:17:14,791
[Gary] Of course.
1275
01:17:14,875 --> 01:17:16,041
We ain't heathens.
1276
01:17:16,125 --> 01:17:18,250
I just don't know much
about the Bible is all.
1277
01:17:18,750 --> 01:17:19,625
Good.
1278
01:17:21,666 --> 01:17:24,375
Lord knows where a person
who ain't saved might end up.
1279
01:17:25,041 --> 01:17:27,166
Hm... Right now it looks like Vietnam.
1280
01:17:30,541 --> 01:17:34,958
[Sandy] It's beautiful, isn't it?
All them trees just going up, up, up.
1281
01:17:36,208 --> 01:17:37,583
That's a good picture.
1282
01:17:38,791 --> 01:17:39,791
[Gary] Sure is.
1283
01:17:41,625 --> 01:17:43,208
You're a nice boy, Gary.
1284
01:17:47,125 --> 01:17:48,375
[Carl humming]
1285
01:17:48,458 --> 01:17:50,416
[Gary] Thanks for inviting me to lunch.
1286
01:17:57,458 --> 01:17:58,750
What do you say we eat, huh?
1287
01:17:59,500 --> 01:18:01,083
[Sandy] What do you want, Gary?
1288
01:18:01,166 --> 01:18:02,583
[Gary] Uh, bologna's good.
1289
01:18:02,666 --> 01:18:04,875
Bologna? You want cheese?
1290
01:18:05,666 --> 01:18:06,625
Yes, please.
1291
01:18:07,166 --> 01:18:08,041
Okay.
1292
01:18:13,166 --> 01:18:14,750
- [Gary] Thank you.
- [Sandy chuckles]
1293
01:18:15,250 --> 01:18:16,416
Here you go, hon.
1294
01:18:27,833 --> 01:18:28,833
[Sandy] Gary?
1295
01:18:30,083 --> 01:18:31,208
Oh, no, thank you.
1296
01:18:31,291 --> 01:18:32,500
You don't drink?
1297
01:18:32,583 --> 01:18:34,083
I don't hold it very well.
1298
01:18:34,625 --> 01:18:36,125
Usually gets me in trouble.
1299
01:18:36,708 --> 01:18:37,625
Well, come on.
1300
01:18:38,708 --> 01:18:40,791
You mean to tell me
you're not gonna have a drink
1301
01:18:40,875 --> 01:18:42,458
with a pretty little thing like her?
1302
01:18:46,708 --> 01:18:48,125
[Gary] Oh, what the hell. [chuckles]
1303
01:18:48,208 --> 01:18:49,125
[Carl] Yeah.
1304
01:18:50,333 --> 01:18:51,458
[Gary clears throat]
1305
01:18:52,041 --> 01:18:53,541
Whoo! That'll wake you up.
1306
01:18:53,625 --> 01:18:54,833
[Sandy and Gary laugh]
1307
01:18:55,208 --> 01:18:57,333
- [Gary] Here.
- No, you go on and take another one.
1308
01:18:59,083 --> 01:19:00,708
- [Gary] Cheers.
- [Carl] Cheers.
1309
01:19:05,791 --> 01:19:06,833
I got an idea.
1310
01:19:08,583 --> 01:19:10,666
Seeing as we might not
see one another again...
1311
01:19:12,166 --> 01:19:14,291
we oughta record this for posterity.
1312
01:19:15,333 --> 01:19:16,333
[Gary clears throat]
1313
01:19:18,166 --> 01:19:20,666
- [Gary] You mean a picture?
- [Carl] Damn right, I mean a picture.
1314
01:19:20,750 --> 01:19:22,541
- Sure, I'm game.
- That's the spirit.
1315
01:19:23,041 --> 01:19:26,208
[Carl] I'll tell you what, Private.
Why don't you just...
1316
01:19:26,291 --> 01:19:29,166
lie down on that blanket there
on your side.
1317
01:19:30,250 --> 01:19:31,333
[Gary] Like that?
1318
01:19:31,416 --> 01:19:32,416
Like that.
1319
01:19:33,416 --> 01:19:35,375
Now, take that bottle and hold it
1320
01:19:35,916 --> 01:19:37,750
like you got it on you all the time.
1321
01:19:40,250 --> 01:19:41,208
[Gary] How's that?
1322

[music stops]
1337
01:20:28,458 --> 01:20:29,666
You know, we did him a favor.
1338
01:20:29,750 --> 01:20:32,583
He was just gonna get shot up
and killed in Vietnam anyways.
1339
01:20:36,208 --> 01:20:37,291
God dammit.
1340
01:20:37,958 --> 01:20:40,875
- He wasn't nothing but another model.
- I told you I don't like this anymore.
1341
01:20:40,958 --> 01:20:43,250
Ain't it fair
if I hate the way some of 'em cry?
1342
01:20:43,333 --> 01:20:44,500
Not that you'd appreciate it,
1343
01:20:44,583 --> 01:20:46,875
but tears make for a good photograph.
1344
01:20:47,375 --> 01:20:49,416
[narrator] What Sandy didn't understand
1345
01:20:49,500 --> 01:20:51,458
was that to his way of thinking,
1346
01:20:51,541 --> 01:20:53,250
this was the one true religion.
1347
01:20:54,416 --> 01:20:56,375
Only in the presence of death
1348
01:20:56,875 --> 01:20:59,750
could he feel the presence
of something like God.
1349
01:20:59,833 --> 01:21:00,916
[Gary] No, no, no!

1356
01:21:14,666 --> 01:21:16,291
How about we check into a motel?
1357
01:21:17,041 --> 01:21:20,125
Get a couple of steaks,
and relax for a day or two.
1358
01:21:20,208 --> 01:21:21,291
How does that sound?
1359
01:21:23,375 --> 01:21:26,916
[Sandy] Private Gary Matthew Bryson
won't be reporting to Fort Eustis.
1360
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,750
But he ain't a coward,
he went and got himself killed.
1361
01:21:30,583 --> 01:21:32,541
Buried by the Mechums River
in West Virginia.
1362
01:21:32,625 --> 01:21:34,333
Chopped up pretty bad in a suitcase.
1363
01:21:35,416 --> 01:21:37,166
No, I won't speak to nobody else.
1364
01:21:47,416 --> 01:21:48,875
[Preston] I've heard of cases
1365
01:21:49,375 --> 01:21:51,250
in my reading
1366
01:21:51,333 --> 01:21:53,500
about sin
1367
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,166
where someone got so sick...
1368
01:21:59,666 --> 01:22:01,291
over some sin
1369
01:22:01,791 --> 01:22:03,791
they felt
1370
01:22:03,875 --> 01:22:07,125
they had committed that was so terrible
1371
01:22:07,625 --> 01:22:08,541
that they...
1372
01:22:10,125 --> 01:22:13,125
started imagining things.
1373
01:22:15,333 --> 01:22:17,541
Back, I read a story about...
1374
01:22:18,708 --> 01:22:19,750
people.
1375
01:22:20,333 --> 01:22:21,333
Poor people.
1376
01:22:22,791 --> 01:22:23,708
Barely
1377
01:22:24,416 --> 01:22:25,833
able to write...
1378
01:22:27,250 --> 01:22:28,375
thinking they're...
1379
01:22:29,166 --> 01:22:30,291
the president
1380
01:22:30,916 --> 01:22:31,958
or...
1381
01:22:32,833 --> 01:22:35,666
or a Hollywood celebrity
1382
01:22:35,750 --> 01:22:38,041
like Ava Gardner.
1383
01:22:42,083 --> 01:22:43,583
I...
1384
01:22:49,291 --> 01:22:52,166
I don't understand
what you're talking about.
1385
01:22:54,500 --> 01:22:56,333
The thing is, that's the part of it.
1386
01:22:57,250 --> 01:22:58,458
The book says...
1387
01:22:59,708 --> 01:23:00,750
it's not,
1388
01:23:01,375 --> 01:23:02,958
not understanding.
1389
01:23:04,166 --> 01:23:05,583
See, think about it.
1390
01:23:06,708 --> 01:23:07,791
How...
1391
01:23:09,083 --> 01:23:10,250
could I be
1392
01:23:10,750 --> 01:23:11,750
the daddy...
1393
01:23:12,666 --> 01:23:15,666
when all we done
is spend time with the Lord?
1394
01:23:15,750 --> 01:23:16,750
[door closes]
1395
01:23:20,708 --> 01:23:21,875
[Arvin] Late night?
1396
01:23:24,250 --> 01:23:27,958
[Earskell] Played cards
over at Elder Stubbs's garage again.
1397
01:23:28,708 --> 01:23:30,000
You win this time?
1398
01:23:32,375 --> 01:23:33,916
No, not really.
1399
01:23:34,500 --> 01:23:35,375
[chuckles]
1400
01:23:37,708 --> 01:23:40,000
Saw Fred Dinwoodie over there.
1401
01:23:40,083 --> 01:23:42,458
He said his boy is just about healed up.
1402
01:23:44,333 --> 01:23:46,916
I still think
you could have held back a little bit.
1403
01:23:48,458 --> 01:23:50,541
Well, he ain't bothered Lenora since.
1404
01:23:51,916 --> 01:23:53,750
Him or his candy-ass buddies.
1405
01:23:54,416 --> 01:23:57,416
I gotta go check in on her.
She ain't been feeling too good.
1406
01:23:58,166 --> 01:24:00,833
You keep an eye on her for me
while we're at church.
1407
01:24:00,916 --> 01:24:01,916
[Lenora retches]
1408
01:24:03,791 --> 01:24:04,625
[coughs]
1409
01:24:05,125 --> 01:24:08,750
[narrator] Lenora had stopped asking Arvinto join her at Helen's grave.
1410
01:24:09,333 --> 01:24:10,791
He didn't mind much.
1411
01:24:11,291 --> 01:24:13,416
His mind
would always drift back to Willard
1412
01:24:13,500 --> 01:24:16,166
and the prayer log and his poor dog Jack.
1413
01:24:17,625 --> 01:24:20,666
Besides, he'd gotten a job
working on the road crew
1414
01:24:20,833 --> 01:24:22,625
and was busy making some money.
1415
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,208
[inhales] I never missed church before.
1416
01:24:29,541 --> 01:24:30,791
[panting]
1417
01:24:32,625 --> 01:24:34,416
[breathing heavily]
1418
01:24:35,250 --> 01:24:36,833
I'm so ashamed.
1419
01:24:39,500 --> 01:24:41,541
You ain't got nothing to be ashamed of.
1420
01:24:41,625 --> 01:24:44,625
I'm sure the Lord will forgive you
for missing one Sunday.
1421
01:24:45,791 --> 01:24:48,625
Ol' Jesus probably had
his fair share of bad mornings.
1422
01:24:50,083 --> 01:24:51,208
[chuckles]
1423
01:24:54,333 --> 01:24:55,791
[whispers] I love you, Arvin.
1424
01:25:04,791 --> 01:25:06,041
[Lenora sighs]
1425
01:25:06,125 --> 01:25:07,750
How's about we, uh... [sniffles]
1426
01:25:08,333 --> 01:25:10,500
Go see your mama's grave
when you're better?
1427
01:25:13,291 --> 01:25:14,375
Sound all right?
1428
01:25:17,041 --> 01:25:18,666
[Preston] The good book...
1429
01:25:18,750 --> 01:25:21,458
is filled with good men
1430
01:25:22,125 --> 01:25:23,375
and women
1431
01:25:23,458 --> 01:25:25,458
suffering delusions.
1432
01:25:27,083 --> 01:25:28,666
Eve in the garden.
1433
01:25:29,916 --> 01:25:30,916
Noah...
1434
01:25:31,500 --> 01:25:33,208
naked, drunk.
1435
01:25:33,875 --> 01:25:35,958
Bringing shame upon his family.
1436
01:25:37,416 --> 01:25:40,041
The idol
the Jews bowed before in the desert.
1437
01:25:43,458 --> 01:25:47,125
And even the Lord Jesus himself
was presented with delusions in the desert
1438
01:25:47,208 --> 01:25:49,500
that only through his faith...
1439
01:25:50,125 --> 01:25:51,500
and his strength...
1440
01:25:52,125 --> 01:25:53,791
- overcame.
- [man 1] Mm-hmm.
1441
01:25:54,291 --> 01:25:55,500
[man 2] Praise Jesus.
1442
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:01,041
The Lord's delusion in the desert
was a game...
1443
01:26:02,708 --> 01:26:05,458
of the so-called "Devil."
1444
01:26:08,166 --> 01:26:10,458
And what the Lord experienced...
1445
01:26:11,541 --> 01:26:15,041
was a delusion
that would've kept him from saving us!
1446
01:26:15,541 --> 01:26:17,875
But he did not fall for it!
1447
01:26:20,333 --> 01:26:22,583
It is our delusions
1448
01:26:22,666 --> 01:26:24,541
that lead us to sin.
1449
01:26:27,083 --> 01:26:30,958
Striking a mother or a wife
for something that you thought they said.
1450
01:26:32,750 --> 01:26:35,833
Neglecting work or Sunday service,
for that matter.
1451
01:26:35,916 --> 01:26:37,541
[man] Right. You said it.
1452
01:26:38,375 --> 01:26:39,583
Some girl...
1453
01:26:40,250 --> 01:26:43,583
gets a feeling for a fella
and lets him have her holy gift.
1454
01:26:47,875 --> 01:26:49,750
Delusions!
1455
01:26:51,041 --> 01:26:55,166
Blaspheming the Lord
in your mind and in your heart
1456
01:26:55,250 --> 01:26:58,500
for some wrong done to you
by another person.
1457
01:26:58,583 --> 01:26:59,666
[man] That's true.
1458
01:27:02,583 --> 01:27:03,958
You're saying you don't...
1459
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,833
remember all the things
we did in your car?
1460
01:27:11,500 --> 01:27:13,166
I'm saying you must be crazy.
1461
01:27:13,250 --> 01:27:16,750
Coming in the Lord's house
and talking all this trash.
1462
01:27:19,458 --> 01:27:21,458
Look, my advice to you, girl...
1463
01:27:23,458 --> 01:27:25,208
is you figure some way to get rid of it.
1464
01:27:26,666 --> 01:27:28,041
'Cause otherwise...
1465
01:27:29,041 --> 01:27:32,500
it's gonna be you, a whore mother,
1466
01:27:33,500 --> 01:27:36,500
and her little bastard child
running around,
1467
01:27:36,583 --> 01:27:39,833
living in that poor old woman's house
who raised you.
1468
01:27:41,625 --> 01:27:44,125
If nothing else, think of her.
1469
01:27:44,791 --> 01:27:47,041
She'll die from the shame of it all.
1470
01:27:59,625 --> 01:28:00,708
Come on.
1471
01:28:17,333 --> 01:28:18,208
Come on.
1472
01:28:33,375 --> 01:28:36,458
[narrator] Lenora suddenly knewshe was making a mistake.
1473
01:28:37,916 --> 01:28:39,791
Grandma wouldn't be ashamed
1474
01:28:40,375 --> 01:28:42,791
and she and her baby would be okay.
1475
01:28:45,833 --> 01:28:47,125
[choking]
1476
01:29:00,708 --> 01:29:02,583
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
1477
01:29:02,708 --> 01:29:05,000
No! No! No!
1478
01:29:05,083 --> 01:29:06,250
[yells] Grandma!
1479
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:08,166
Grandma!
1480
01:29:08,333 --> 01:29:10,208
No, no, no!
1481
01:29:13,250 --> 01:29:14,458
Grandma!
1482
01:29:15,375 --> 01:29:16,375
[grunts]
1483
01:29:17,208 --> 01:29:19,083
[somber violin music playing]
1484
01:29:19,500 --> 01:29:20,958
Grandma! [grunts]
1485
01:29:23,375 --> 01:29:26,166
[narrator] No one would knowshe wasn't a suicide
1486
01:29:26,541 --> 01:29:29,875
and that in the end,
she was all right with her maker.
1487
01:29:30,333 --> 01:29:31,416
Oh, Lord.
1488
01:29:33,958 --> 01:29:36,458
There's just some things
we can't understand.
1489
01:29:40,291 --> 01:29:42,333
But you take her into your arms.
1490
01:29:42,916 --> 01:29:44,291
[Emma sobbing]
1491
01:29:50,083 --> 01:29:51,375
Uh, ain't somebody...
1492
01:29:52,875 --> 01:29:54,250
saying prayers or...
1493
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:56,000
[clears throat]
1494
01:29:57,375 --> 01:29:59,583
[somber music continues playing]
1495
01:30:01,166 --> 01:30:02,708
[Emma sobs]
1496
01:30:08,083 --> 01:30:09,500
[breathes heavily]
1497
01:30:12,833 --> 01:30:13,750
[sniffles]
1498
01:30:23,916 --> 01:30:25,666
[indistinct chatter]
1499
01:30:32,041 --> 01:30:33,833
[man 1]
Need to have a word with you, Arvin.
1500
01:30:33,916 --> 01:30:35,750
- [man 2] All right, see ya, buddy.
- [man 3] Yep.
1501
01:30:35,833 --> 01:30:36,833
See ya tomorrow.
1502
01:30:37,333 --> 01:30:38,458
[Arvin] About what?
1503
01:30:40,875 --> 01:30:41,958
[man 1] It's, uh...
1504
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:46,208
It's about Lenora.
1505
01:30:50,791 --> 01:30:51,791
What about her?
1506
01:30:54,625 --> 01:30:57,250
I came by here instead of home
so nothing's...
1507
01:30:57,958 --> 01:30:59,250
put on your grandmother.
1508
01:31:00,958 --> 01:31:02,333
"Put on"? What do you mean?
1509
01:31:03,875 --> 01:31:04,791
Well...
1510
01:31:07,416 --> 01:31:09,333
ol' Dudley, in the Coroner's...
1511
01:31:10,333 --> 01:31:12,000
I ain't never heard of no Dudley.
1512
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:15,541
Well, he's a drunk...
but he ain't no liar.
1513
01:31:17,750 --> 01:31:20,291
Did you know Lenora was carrying a baby?
1514
01:31:26,458 --> 01:31:27,625
That's bullshit.
1515
01:31:28,541 --> 01:31:30,125
That son of a bitch is lying.
1516
01:31:31,708 --> 01:31:32,708
I tell ya...
1517
01:31:33,875 --> 01:31:35,166
Dudley ain't a liar.
1518
01:31:36,458 --> 01:31:39,708
He came to me privately
so as your family knew.
1519
01:31:40,541 --> 01:31:41,791
I felt he was right.
1520
01:31:47,458 --> 01:31:50,541
Now, I might've put my foot
in something. It...
1521
01:31:51,166 --> 01:31:52,625
wasn't my intentions.
1522
01:31:55,666 --> 01:31:58,250
You know that preacher
ain't said no words for her.
1523
01:32:00,541 --> 01:32:02,458
Not for people that kill themselves.
1524
01:32:29,833 --> 01:32:31,833
[engine starting]
1525
01:32:38,875 --> 01:32:40,875
[engine revving]
1526
01:32:47,208 --> 01:32:49,041
[moaning]
1527
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:01,916
[Preston grunts]
1528
01:33:21,708 --> 01:33:23,500
[engine starting]
1529
01:33:57,666 --> 01:33:58,625
[grunts]
1530
01:33:59,250 --> 01:34:00,666
[inhales deeply]
1531
01:34:11,083 --> 01:34:12,000
[sighs] Uncle...
1532
01:34:12,083 --> 01:34:15,375
[narrator] Arvin wanted so muchto be able to tell them goodbye,
1533
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:18,708
but they would be better off
not knowing anything
1534
01:34:18,791 --> 01:34:20,833
if the law came looking for him.
1535
01:34:20,916 --> 01:34:22,708
You have to be good to Grandma.
1536
01:34:26,625 --> 01:34:29,750
You know that she ain't hardly been out
of her bed since the funeral?
1537
01:34:30,666 --> 01:34:31,583
Yeah.
1538
01:34:32,833 --> 01:34:34,041
Grandma needs you.
1539
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:36,958
All right?
1540
01:34:49,916 --> 01:34:51,916
[somber violin music playing]
1541
01:35:35,208 --> 01:35:36,375
[Arvin] Dear Grandma...
1542
01:35:37,166 --> 01:35:40,625
I'm writing to you
because I cannot say goodbye to your face.
1543
01:35:41,333 --> 01:35:45,375
I love you and I will always remember
the things that you have done for me.
1544
01:35:45,458 --> 01:35:46,416
[door creaks open]
1545
01:35:46,500 --> 01:35:49,666
What I'm about to do,
I do because I have to,
1546
01:35:49,750 --> 01:35:51,291
not because I want to.
1547
01:35:51,958 --> 01:35:53,833
Please do not try and find me.
1548
01:35:53,916 --> 01:35:56,375
Love, your grandson, Arvin.
1549
01:36:01,208 --> 01:36:02,250
[lip smacking]
1550
01:36:03,500 --> 01:36:05,166
[Arvin breathes shakily]
1551
01:36:09,333 --> 01:36:11,166
[breathing shakily]
1552
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:14,208
[exhales]
1553
01:36:19,083 --> 01:36:20,125
[quietly] Excuse me.
1554
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:24,041
[clears throat]
1555
01:36:24,125 --> 01:36:25,125
Excuse me.
1556
01:36:25,208 --> 01:36:26,250
Preacher?
1557
01:36:30,250 --> 01:36:31,750
Got time for a sinner?
1558
01:36:35,250 --> 01:36:38,125
I've been doing wrong
and I wanna get right by the Lord.
1559
01:36:42,541 --> 01:36:44,208
Well, that's what I'm here for.
1560
01:36:48,208 --> 01:36:49,125
I've done...
1561
01:36:51,250 --> 01:36:52,708
lustful acts.
1562
01:36:55,875 --> 01:36:56,833
Yeah.
1563
01:36:58,041 --> 01:37:00,000
That could be a big problem.
1564
01:37:00,666 --> 01:37:02,125
Especially for the young people.
1565
01:37:03,791 --> 01:37:05,208
Go on, tell me about it.
1566
01:37:07,041 --> 01:37:09,041
I got me a pretty wife at home.
1567
01:37:10,375 --> 01:37:12,791
One that'll do pretty much anything I ask.
1568
01:37:14,625 --> 01:37:16,083
But I treat her real bad.
1569
01:37:17,833 --> 01:37:19,416
Well, when you say anything,
1570
01:37:19,500 --> 01:37:21,208
what do you mean?
1571
01:37:23,583 --> 01:37:24,791
Just what I said.
1572
01:37:26,791 --> 01:37:30,208
Sometimes she'll be going down
on me with...
1573
01:37:30,708 --> 01:37:32,166
[breathing shakily]
1574
01:37:32,875 --> 01:37:34,375
Well, you know, her mouth.
1575
01:37:36,250 --> 01:37:38,833
Heck, I get so excited I start forcing it.
1576
01:37:43,208 --> 01:37:44,666
She ever puke on you?
1577
01:37:46,541 --> 01:37:49,333
They got a little trigger,

and I...
1584
01:38:17,416 --> 01:38:18,750

I just couldn't get enough.
1589

So I'd strip her clothes off.

before we got started.

01:39:15,125 --> 01:39:17,416

to that whore of a wife of mine

01:48:36,750 --> 01:48:37,958
[Carl] Right here.
1756
01:48:38,500 --> 01:48:39,625
Yeah, this'll work.
1757
01:48:45,958 --> 01:48:47,083
I won't be long.
1758
01:48:48,500 --> 01:48:49,833
[Carl groans]
1759
01:48:49,916 --> 01:48:50,833
[door bangs shut]
1760
01:48:54,791 --> 01:48:56,083
[Carl sighs]
1761
01:49:04,666 --> 01:49:06,666
[Sandy opens match box]
1762
01:49:12,208 --> 01:49:13,333
Oh, shoot.
1763
01:49:25,916 --> 01:49:28,458
[Carl] Damn.
That's gonna be one fine sunset.
1764
01:49:29,125 --> 01:49:32,500
You have to be patient with me
while I get a few shots off.
1765
01:49:33,833 --> 01:49:34,916
Hon, give me the key.
1766
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:38,583
Don't you worry none.
We've got some hooch in the back and...
1767
01:49:38,666 --> 01:49:39,791
[breathes heavily]
1768
01:49:39,875 --> 01:49:41,875
Well, Sandy's good company.
1769
01:49:43,500 --> 01:49:45,166
[birds chirping]
1770
01:49:50,791 --> 01:49:52,625
[narrator] The thought of killing Carl
1771
01:49:52,708 --> 01:49:54,541
and taking off
with the boy in the backseat
1772
01:49:54,625 --> 01:49:56,291
suddenly crossed Sandy's mind.
1773
01:50:00,333 --> 01:50:02,000
[Carl muttering]
1774
01:50:03,083 --> 01:50:06,791
He was young, but that didn't mean
she couldn't make it work.
1775
01:50:17,875 --> 01:50:19,916
Tell you what, son. Why don't you ste...
1776
01:50:20,416 --> 01:50:21,958
[shoots twice]
1777
01:50:22,041 --> 01:50:23,291
[Arvin panting]
1778
01:50:23,958 --> 01:50:26,750
[Sandy gasps] Shit!
1779
01:50:26,833 --> 01:50:27,791
[both gasp]
1780
01:50:27,875 --> 01:50:29,791
[Sandy] No! Calm down, please!
1781
01:50:29,875 --> 01:50:31,791
I don't wanna shoot you! Put the gun down!
1782
01:50:32,458 --> 01:50:33,916
- I don't want to shoot.
- I'm so sorry!
1783
01:50:38,791 --> 01:50:39,708
[gasps]
1784
01:50:41,916 --> 01:50:42,916
[groans]
1785
01:50:43,541 --> 01:50:45,625
[Sandy] Carl, you want sandals or heels?
1786
01:50:45,708 --> 01:50:46,625
Heels.
1787
01:50:47,750 --> 01:50:49,250
[Carl singing]
1788
01:50:49,333 --> 01:50:52,333
[narrator] Serial murderersaren't the most trusting kind.
1789
01:50:53,125 --> 01:50:57,166
Carl brought the additional quality
of being maniacally paranoid.
1790
01:50:59,166 --> 01:51:02,458
Sandy's behavior
before they left home made him uneasy,
1791
01:51:02,958 --> 01:51:07,166
and Carl thought it'd be better if he was
the only one with a loaded weapon.
1792
01:51:07,250 --> 01:51:08,458
[Carl singing]
1793
01:51:10,166 --> 01:51:12,291
Poor Sandy never stood a chance.
1794
01:51:12,458 --> 01:51:15,041
[groans, breathes heavily]
1795
01:51:16,583 --> 01:51:18,458
Her gun was loaded with blanks.
1796
01:51:20,833 --> 01:51:23,083
[Arvin panting]
1797
01:51:42,083 --> 01:51:43,291
[narrator] Jim Lacey.
1798
01:51:43,458 --> 01:51:45,208
New Burlington, Indiana.
1799
01:51:46,333 --> 01:51:49,416
Carl never photographed
a more symmetrical face.
1800
01:51:49,958 --> 01:51:52,375
This photo really meant something to him.
1801
01:51:52,708 --> 01:51:54,083
Jim had been their first.
1802
01:51:54,166 --> 01:51:55,833
[breathing heavily]
1803
01:52:39,333 --> 01:52:42,333
[radio] Sheriff Bodecker,this is Deputy Howser. Come in. Over.
1804
01:52:43,708 --> 01:52:44,666
Sheriff, you there?
1805
01:52:44,750 --> 01:52:48,250
A farmer called in a double homicide
off the 506. I need you here.
1806
01:52:59,125 --> 01:53:00,833
I'm sorry, Lee. This is fucked up.
1807
01:53:01,333 --> 01:53:02,291
What do you mean?
1808
01:53:02,875 --> 01:53:04,291
It's your sister and her husband.
1809
01:53:10,583 --> 01:53:12,041
[man] Carl was shot twice.
1810
01:53:12,791 --> 01:53:13,875
Sandy once.
1811
01:53:17,500 --> 01:53:19,333
It looks like it was a nine millimeter.
1812
01:53:19,416 --> 01:53:21,083
Sandy got one shot off but...
1813
01:53:22,125 --> 01:53:23,708
her gun was loaded with blanks.
1814
01:53:31,375 --> 01:53:33,583
- [whispers] Jesus Christ.
- [man] Lee?
1815
01:53:37,958 --> 01:53:40,166
Give me a couple minutes here
alone with her.
1816
01:53:45,375 --> 01:53:47,958
[narrator] She'd always beensort of fucked up,
1817
01:53:48,041 --> 01:53:51,416
but Lee blamed Carl
for the way she'd gone downhill.
1818
01:53:52,125 --> 01:53:55,958
Regardless of all that,
she was still his baby sister.
1819
01:54:01,708 --> 01:54:05,208
But the sheriff couldn't help but think
of his own situation for a moment.
1820
01:54:06,041 --> 01:54:08,166
He thought about that photo
he found of her
1821
01:54:08,250 --> 01:54:10,458
and worried about what else
people might find
1822
01:54:10,541 --> 01:54:12,125
if he didn't get to it first.
1823
01:55:48,125 --> 01:55:49,666
Reverend Roy Laferty,
1824
01:55:50,166 --> 01:55:51,791
Durham, North Carolina.
1825
01:55:52,500 --> 01:55:55,916
Though the poor fucker had been
completely worthless as a model,
1826
01:55:56,458 --> 01:55:58,750
Carl was insistent on keeping a record
1827
01:55:58,958 --> 01:56:02,208
of both his successes and his failures.
1828
01:56:42,208 --> 01:56:43,208
[man] Howdy.
1829
01:56:44,541 --> 01:56:46,000
You look like you've been traveling.
1830
01:56:49,333 --> 01:56:50,916
- Yeah.
- Where you headed?
1831
01:56:53,750 --> 01:56:56,750
There used to be a house and a barn
up on the hill over there.
1832
01:56:56,833 --> 01:56:58,791
Some lawyer owned it. You know it?
1833
01:56:58,875 --> 01:56:59,875
Sure I do.
1834
01:57:00,666 --> 01:57:02,083
Up in the Mitchell Flats.
1835
01:57:03,708 --> 01:57:04,666
Still there?
1836
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:08,291
Well, I'll be damned.
1837
01:57:09,458 --> 01:57:11,041
You're that Russell boy, ain't you?
1838
01:57:14,583 --> 01:57:18,250
I just thought, seeing as I was this way,
I'd stop by and see the old place again.
1839
01:57:19,666 --> 01:57:21,125
[dog barking in the distance]
1840
01:57:21,208 --> 01:57:25,250
[sighs] Son, I hate to tell you this,
but that place burned some years ago.
1841
01:57:25,333 --> 01:57:27,000
They think some kids did it.
1842
01:57:27,500 --> 01:57:30,416
Wasn't nobody ever living there
since you and your folks.
1843
01:57:30,958 --> 01:57:34,000
Well, heck, I come all this way,
I may as well walk up there anyways.
1844
01:57:34,083 --> 01:57:37,833
Sure, just cut across Clarence's pasture.
1845
01:57:37,916 --> 01:57:39,166
He won't say nothing.
1846
01:57:41,166 --> 01:57:42,166
[thunder rumbling]
1847
01:57:47,916 --> 01:57:50,541
I never did thank you
for the night my dad died.
1848
01:57:52,333 --> 01:57:53,666
You were awful kind of me,
1849
01:57:53,750 --> 01:57:56,333
and I just want you to know
that I ain't never forgot it.
1850
01:57:57,166 --> 01:58:00,250
You had that pie smeared
all across your face.
1851
01:58:00,791 --> 01:58:04,208
Damn Bodecker thought it was blood.
Remember that?
1852
01:58:04,875 --> 01:58:07,083
Yeah, I remember everything
about that night.
1853
01:58:08,666 --> 01:58:10,500
He ain't the lawman that I expected.
1854
01:58:11,333 --> 01:58:12,833
Shame about his sister though.
1855
01:58:13,500 --> 01:58:14,791
Why? What happened?
1856
01:58:14,875 --> 01:58:17,291
Well, his sister and her husband
were found dead.
1857
01:58:17,833 --> 01:58:19,458
Not far from Meade.
1858
01:58:24,416 --> 01:58:25,375
You come back to see me.
1859
01:58:26,666 --> 01:58:28,125
We'll sit out and drink some beer.
1860
01:58:29,041 --> 01:58:30,125
I'll do that.
1861
01:58:31,375 --> 01:58:32,458
[man] Lee.
1862
01:58:32,541 --> 01:58:36,166
Got a call from Sheriff Thompson
in Lewisburg, West Virginia.
1863
01:58:36,250 --> 01:58:38,041
Wants you to call him back
as soon as possible.
1864
01:58:38,125 --> 01:58:41,000
[Thompson]
I had a man shot down here two days back.
1865
01:58:41,083 --> 01:58:42,583
He was a preacher.
1866
01:58:42,666 --> 01:58:45,708
And we're suspecting it's a boy
that used to live up around your parts.
1867
01:58:45,791 --> 01:58:46,833
That right?
1868
01:58:47,333 --> 01:58:48,583
How'd he kill the man?
1869
01:58:48,666 --> 01:58:50,416
A couple shots.
1870
01:58:50,500 --> 01:58:53,916
Pistol. Probably a Luger
that the boy's known to have.
1871
01:58:55,291 --> 01:58:57,625
- That's a nine millimeter, ain't it?
- That's right.
1872
01:58:59,750 --> 01:59:01,333
What'd you say the boy's name was?
1873
01:59:01,416 --> 01:59:04,000
I didn't say, but it's Arvin Russell.
1874
01:59:04,083 --> 01:59:07,000
Both of his parents died up around there,
as I understand it.
1875
01:59:07,083 --> 01:59:09,875
Father was a suicide,
and he's been living down here
1876
01:59:09,958 --> 01:59:11,625
with the grandmother and the uncle.
1877
01:59:12,125 --> 01:59:14,666
Listen, I don't think the boy's dangerous.
1878
01:59:15,541 --> 01:59:19,000
From what I'm hearing,
this preacher might've deserved killing.
1879
01:59:19,083 --> 01:59:19,916
Is this boy driving?
1880
01:59:20,916 --> 01:59:21,791
Could be.
1881
01:59:21,875 --> 01:59:25,500
He owns an ol' busted up Chevy 3100, '54.
1882
01:59:25,583 --> 01:59:28,000
I don't know
that it'd make it all the way up there.
1883
01:59:28,083 --> 01:59:30,291
At this point, he might be hitchhiking.
1884
01:59:30,375 --> 01:59:33,000
Dark hair, not bad looking. Quiet.
1885
01:59:33,083 --> 01:59:34,083
[sighs]
1886
01:59:38,708 --> 01:59:40,250
Who's gonna bury Jack?
1887
01:59:45,916 --> 01:59:46,750
I don't know.
1888
01:59:48,416 --> 01:59:50,791
I don't know
who's gonna wanna touch that thing.
1889
01:59:56,333 --> 01:59:58,750
[sighs] Look, kid...
1890
02:00:00,083 --> 02:00:03,208
my daddy didn't do anything
like what your daddy did up there,
1891
02:00:03,291 --> 02:00:05,958
but he did up and leave me,
my mama, and my sister.
1892
02:00:07,958 --> 02:00:11,375
He just went off to the shoe factory
one morning and never came back.
1893
02:00:12,166 --> 02:00:14,916
And there was nothing to do
but forget his sorry ass.
1894
02:00:18,125 --> 02:00:21,041
Some people were born
just so they could be buried.
1895
02:00:27,583 --> 02:00:29,250
[birds chirping]
1896
02:01:39,458 --> 02:01:41,458
[sighs, sniffles]
1897
02:02:18,541 --> 02:02:22,208
[narrator] Arvin thought about the daysleading up to his mother's death,
1898
02:02:22,291 --> 02:02:25,083
how Willard wanted so much
for her to live.
1899
02:02:25,750 --> 02:02:28,000
His father
would have done anything to save her.
1900
02:02:28,625 --> 02:02:32,291
Fuck the blood and stink,
the heat and the insects.
1901
02:02:32,833 --> 02:02:33,791
Anything.
1902
02:02:34,291 --> 02:02:36,250
Arvin said to himself.
1903
02:02:36,750 --> 02:02:38,000
[barking in the distance]
1904
02:02:38,083 --> 02:02:42,083
And suddenly he realized,
standing in his father's church,
1905
02:02:42,583 --> 02:02:44,541
that he'd had no other choice,
1906
02:02:45,458 --> 02:02:48,791
that Willard had needed to go
wherever Charlotte went.
1907
02:02:54,833 --> 02:02:56,916
[footsteps approaching]
1908
02:03:28,833 --> 02:03:30,291
Arvin Russell!
1909
02:03:32,125 --> 02:03:33,666
I know you're down there somewhere!
1910
02:03:35,208 --> 02:03:37,125
It's Sheriff Bodecker, son!
1911
02:03:38,875 --> 02:03:40,416
Got some questions to ask you!
1912
02:03:48,250 --> 02:03:49,333
[gunshot]
1913
02:03:49,833 --> 02:03:50,791
[gun cocking]
1914
02:03:50,875 --> 02:03:52,166
Sorry about that!
1915
02:03:54,416 --> 02:03:56,208
Goddamn bird scared me.
1916
02:04:00,625 --> 02:04:02,083
I ain't here to hurt you!
1917
02:04:05,458 --> 02:04:08,000
And I know that you don't wanna hurt me!
1918
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:12,166
Come on out so we can have us a talk!
1919
02:04:16,916 --> 02:04:18,000
[gun cocks]
1920
02:04:18,083 --> 02:04:19,875
[panting] Okay.
1921
02:04:35,750 --> 02:04:38,083
[Lee]
I figured this might be where you'd come.
1922
02:04:39,875 --> 02:04:42,000
Remember that night
you brought me up here?
1923
02:04:43,416 --> 02:04:45,500
That was an awful thing your daddy did.
1924
02:04:46,041 --> 02:04:46,916
[stick clatters]
1925
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:48,125

God dammit, boy, don't...
Don't fuck with me!
1927
02:05:03,708 --> 02:05:06,375
Put the gun down, Sheriff!
I got one pointed right at you!
1928
02:05:11,958 --> 02:05:13,083
Can't do that, son!
1929
02:05:14,708 --> 02:05:17,250
Just set it on the ground and step away!
1930
02:05:20,458 --> 02:05:21,416
What?
1931
02:05:21,500 --> 02:05:23,791
Just set it on the ground and step away!
1932
02:05:25,500 --> 02:05:29,625
So you can kill me like you did my sister
and that preacher down in West Virginia?!
1933
02:05:31,625 --> 02:05:32,625
[breathes shakily]
1934
02:05:33,125 --> 02:05:35,208
I'm not a bad person, Sheriff.
1935
02:05:36,208 --> 02:05:38,041
That preacher weren't no good!
1936
02:05:39,541 --> 02:05:42,958
He hurt my sister so bad
she killed herself, Sheriff!
1937
02:05:43,041 --> 02:05:44,083
I had no choice!
1938

[breathes heavily]
1939
02:05:54,541 --> 02:05:57,708
I hate to be the one to tell you this,
Sheriff, but your sister...
1940
02:05:58,291 --> 02:06:00,291
and her husband,
they weren't no good neither!
1941
02:06:00,375 --> 02:06:03,833
I got a snapshot in my pocket here
of her hugging on some dead guy.
1942
02:06:03,916 --> 02:06:05,791
You let loose that gun
and I'll show it to you!

1956

while he listened
to the Sheriff fight to stay alive,
1957
02:07:24,625 --> 02:07:27,916
it actually took the man
only a few minutes to die.

Thank you, mister.
1964

I didn't think
anybody was gonna pick me up.
1965

Looks like you had a rough day.
1966

[Arvin] Yeah.
1967
02:08:53,625 --> 02:08:55,333
Uh, where you headed?
1968
02:08:55,416 --> 02:08:57,666
[Arvin] I ain't figured that out yet.
Where you headed?
1969
02:08:57,750 --> 02:08:58,958
[man] Cincinnati.
1970
02:08:59,041 --> 02:09:00,875
- All right.
- That okay for you?
1971
02:09:01,375 --> 02:09:02,375
[Arvin] Uh...
1972
02:09:03,666 --> 02:09:05,791
Yeah, I've been meaning
to get up that way.
1973
02:09:06,708 --> 02:09:08,750
[reporter]... to make knownhis final decision
1974
02:09:08,833 --> 02:09:10,250
to significantly increase
1975
02:09:10,333 --> 02:09:13,500
the number of US troops
deployed to south Vietnam.
1976
02:09:13,583 --> 02:09:17,083
He explained the reason for his actions
in these historic words.
1977
02:09:17,166 --> 02:09:20,375
[Lyndon B. Johnson]
We intend to convince the communists
1978
02:09:21,125 --> 02:09:23,166
that we cannot be defeated
1979
02:09:23,666 --> 02:09:25,416
by force of arms
1980
02:09:26,208 --> 02:09:28,458
or by superior power.
1981
02:09:29,916 --> 02:09:31,791
They're not easily convinced.
1982
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:36,541
[narrator] Arvin didn't wantto fall asleep sitting next to a stranger,
1983
02:09:37,208 --> 02:09:39,458
and as he fought hard to stay awake,
1984
02:09:39,541 --> 02:09:41,791
his mind began taking him places.
1985
02:09:44,958 --> 02:09:48,416
He started to think maybe the law
would recognize he had done good.
1986
02:09:51,375 --> 02:09:53,000
Maybe he'd be forgiven.
1987
02:09:53,708 --> 02:09:57,375
Maybe he'd even be able to see Grandma
and Uncle Earskell again.
1988
02:09:58,750 --> 02:10:00,625
Or maybe that was too risky.
1989
02:10:03,458 --> 02:10:04,291
What happened?
1990
02:10:06,833 --> 02:10:08,375
[narrator] But still...
1991
02:10:08,458 --> 02:10:12,083
maybe he'd meet a girl,
start a family like his daddy did.
1992
02:10:12,166 --> 02:10:13,541
[Jack barking]
1993
02:10:17,750 --> 02:10:22,625
As the thoughts came, he wasn't sure
if he was going backwards or forwards.
1994
02:10:23,791 --> 02:10:25,583
He knew wherever this was,
1995
02:10:26,083 --> 02:10:28,291
it felt nicer than Knockemstiff.
1996
02:10:28,958 --> 02:10:31,541
No fighting or screaming or pain.
1997
02:10:33,166 --> 02:10:36,125
Then the thought of enlisting
got into his brain.
1998
02:10:37,416 --> 02:10:41,041
And he wasn't sure if he was thinking
about himself or Willard anymore.
1999
02:10:43,750 --> 02:10:46,666
He didn't want
to end up in a war like his father.
2000
02:10:47,208 --> 02:10:49,750
But he was good at fighting.
2001
02:10:50,041 --> 02:10:51,875
Maybe that's where he belonged.
2002
02:10:53,750 --> 02:10:57,375
Grandma would tell him to pray on it,
and he'd laugh at her.
2003
02:10:57,916 --> 02:11:00,291
But maybe she knew something he didn't.
2004
02:11:01,333 --> 02:11:04,125
Right now, he needed sleep
2005
02:11:04,541 --> 02:11:07,875

someone was giving him a ride.
