These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:01:09,694 --> 00:01:13,572 We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert ... 2 00:01:13,656 --> 00:01:16,492 when the drugs began to take hold. 3 00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:32,925 I remember saying something like ... I feel a bit light-headed. 4 00:01:33,009 --> 00:01:36,011 Maybe you should drive. 5 00:01:38,348 --> 00:01:42,434 Suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what ... 6 00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:46,396 looked like huge bats all swooping and screeching and diving around the car. 7 00:01:46,481 --> 00:01:52,319 And a voice was screaming: Holy Jesus, what are these god-damn animals? 8 00:01:53,071 --> 00:01:56,073 Fucking pigs! - Did you say something? 9 00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:59,535 Never mind. It's your turn to drive. 10 00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:05,874 No point in mentioning these bats. The poor pig will see them soon enough. 11 00:02:16,511 --> 00:02:20,681 Fucking pigs! Flying! Shit. All right, let's see ... 12 00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:27,896 We had 2 bags of grass, 57 pellets of mescaline, 5 sheets of high powered ... 13 00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:32,568 blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a galaxy of multi-coloured ... 14 00:02:32,652 --> 00:02:37,322 uppers, downers, screamers, laughers. Also a quart of tequila, quart of rum, 15 00:02:37,407 --> 00:02:39,992 case of beer, pint of raw ether ... 16 00:02:41,077 --> 00:02:45,038 and 2 dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip ... 17 00:02:45,123 --> 00:02:49,001 but once you get locked into a serious drug collection the tendency ... 18 00:02:49,085 --> 00:02:53,463 is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me ... 19 00:02:53,548 --> 00:02:57,885 was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible ... 20 00:02:57,969 --> 00:03:02,055 and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. And I knew we'd get ... 21 00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:06,310 into that rotten stuff pretty soon. - A House Sub-Committee report says ... 22 00:03:06,394 --> 00:03:10,397 illegal drugs killed 1 60 American GIs last year, 23 00:03:11,274 --> 00:03:14,026 40 of them in Vietnam. 24 00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:18,280 One toke, man. One toke over the line. 25 00:03:20,533 --> 00:03:25,621 Sitting downtown in a railway station. One toke over the line. 26 00:03:26,664 --> 00:03:32,252 One toke. You poor fool. Wait till you see those god-damn bats, man. 27 00:03:39,177 --> 00:03:42,763 Let's give that boy a lift. - What? No! Wait. 28 00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:47,392 We can't stop here, this is bat country. 29 00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:55,067 I never rode in a convertible before. - Is that right? 30 00:03:55,485 --> 00:03:59,404 Well, I guess you're about ready? - We're your friends. 31 00:03:59,489 --> 00:04:05,077 We're not like the others. Really. - Out, or I'll put leeches on you! 32 00:04:06,829 --> 00:04:08,914 Get in! 33 00:04:13,127 --> 00:04:17,214 How long could we maintain. How long before one of us starts raving an ... 34 00:04:17,298 --> 00:04:21,134 jabbering at this boy? What will he think then? 35 00:04:21,386 --> 00:04:25,472 This same lonely desert was the last home of the Manson family. Would he ... 36 00:04:25,556 --> 00:04:29,643 make that grim connection when my attorney starts screaming about bats ... 37 00:04:29,727 --> 00:04:33,814 and huge manta rays coming down on the car? If so ... well, 38 00:04:33,898 --> 00:04:37,818 we'll just have to cut his head off and bury him somewhere. Because it ... 39 00:04:37,902 --> 00:04:41,989 goes without saying that we can't turn him loose. He'd report us at once to ... 40 00:04:42,073 --> 00:04:45,909 a outback Nazi law enforcement agency and they'll run us down like dogs. 41 00:04:45,994 --> 00:04:49,288 Did I say that? Or just think it? 42 00:04:52,917 --> 00:04:56,420 He's just admiring the shape of your skull. 43 00:04:56,671 --> 00:05:00,757 Maybe I had better have a chat with this boy, I thought. Perhaps, if I ... 44 00:05:00,842 --> 00:05:04,928 explain things, he'll rest easy. All right, listen. There's one thing you ... 45 00:05:05,013 --> 00:05:09,099 should probably understand. Can you hear me? Good! 46 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,687 I want you to have all the background. This is a very ominous assignment with ... 47 00:05:13,771 --> 00:05:17,858 overtones of extreme personal danger. I'm a Doctor of Journalism, man. 48 00:05:17,942 --> 00:05:21,945 This is important, god-damnit! This is a fucking true story! 49 00:05:22,030 --> 00:05:27,534 Hey! Where are you going? Sit down! - Get your hands off my fucking neck! 50 00:05:27,618 --> 00:05:31,705 Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? Was there no communication ... 51 00:05:31,789 --> 00:05:36,001 in this car? Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts? 52 00:05:36,085 --> 00:05:40,172 I want you to understand that this man is my attorney. He's not just some ... 53 00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,384 dingbat I found on the Strip, man. He's a foreigner. I think he's Samoan? 54 00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:48,555 It doesn't matter. Are you prejudiced? - Hell, no, sir. 55 00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:52,642 I didn't think so. Because in spite of his race, this man is extremely ... 56 00:05:52,727 --> 00:05:56,396 valuable to me. Oh, shit. I forgot about the beer. Do you want some? 57 00:05:56,481 --> 00:05:58,565 No. - Ether? 58 00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:02,277 What? - Never mind, let's get to the heart. 59 00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:07,366 24 hours ago we were sitting in the Polo Lounge of Beverly Heights Hotel ... 60 00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:13,163 in the patio section, of course. Drinking Singapore Slings with mescal ... 61 00:06:13,247 --> 00:06:19,002 on the side, hiding from the brutish realities of this foul year 1971. 62 00:06:21,506 --> 00:06:24,508 Perhaps this is the call you've been ... 63 00:06:24,634 --> 00:06:27,969 waiting for all this time, sir. - Perhaps. 64 00:06:29,263 --> 00:06:32,140 Yeah? Mmm, really? Right. 65 00:06:34,352 --> 00:06:37,354 Yeah. Why not? Yeah. 66 00:06:38,272 --> 00:06:41,608 That was headquarters. They want me to ... 67 00:06:45,613 --> 00:06:47,697 Thank you. 68 00:06:48,783 --> 00:06:52,869 They want me to got to Las Vegas at once make contact with a Portuguese ... 69 00:06:52,954 --> 00:06:57,040 photographer named Lacerda. He'll have all the details. All I have to do is ... 70 00:06:57,125 --> 00:07:00,877 check into my soundproof suite, he'll seek me out. What do you think? 71 00:07:00,962 --> 00:07:06,299 Sounds like trouble. You're gonna need plenty of legal advice for this thing. 72 00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:09,428 Oh, yeah. - As your attorney, I advise you to ... 73 00:07:09,512 --> 00:07:13,181 rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. 74 00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:17,436 Tape recorder for special music ... Acapulco shirts. 75 00:07:18,229 --> 00:07:22,023 And get the hell out of LA for at least 48 hours. 76 00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:24,192 Blows my weekend. - Why? 77 00:07:25,236 --> 00:07:30,240 Because, I'm gonna have to go with you. And we're gonna have to arm ... 78 00:07:30,324 --> 00:07:33,493 ourselves to the teeth. - Well, why not? 79 00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:38,331 I mean, if a thing's worth doing it's worth doing right. 80 00:07:38,416 --> 00:07:41,501 This is the American Dream in action. 81 00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:44,504 Wait! 82 00:07:46,424 --> 00:07:50,218 We'd be fools not to ride this strange torpedo all the way out to the end. 83 00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:54,306 Indeed. We must do it. What kind of story is this? 84 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:58,310 It's the Mint 400. It's the richest off-road race for motor cycles and ... 85 00:07:58,394 --> 00:08:02,439 dune buggies in the history of sport. It's a fantastic spectacle in honour ... 86 00:08:02,523 --> 00:08:06,610 of some fatback grossero who owns the luxurious Mint Hotel in Las Vegas. 87 00:08:06,694 --> 00:08:10,697 That's what the press release says. - As your attorney, I advise you to buy ... 88 00:08:10,781 --> 00:08:14,784 a motor cycle. How else can you cover a thing like this righteously? 89 00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:18,747 Well, we're gonna have to drum it up on our own. 90 00:08:18,831 --> 00:08:21,249 Pure Gonzo journalism. - Jesus! 91 00:08:31,636 --> 00:08:35,722 Getting hold of the drugs and shirts had been no problem. But the car and ... 92 00:08:35,806 --> 00:08:39,893 tape recorder were not easy to round up on a Friday afternoon in Hollywood. 93 00:08:39,977 --> 00:08:43,146 Sounds beautiful. Great, hang on to it. 94 00:08:44,398 --> 00:08:49,319 The gentleman has a major credit card. - Don't take any guff from these swine. 95 00:08:49,403 --> 00:08:53,615 You just got through saying that. Do you realise who you're talking to? 96 00:08:53,699 --> 00:08:56,201 Do you? Be over in 30 minutes. 97 00:09:00,998 --> 00:09:05,126 We're gonna need a sound store. - We need unlimited credit. 98 00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:09,297 Jesus, we will, man. You Samoans are all the same. You have no faith in the ... 99 00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:13,051 essential decency of the White man's culture. 100 00:09:13,928 --> 00:09:17,889 The store was closed but the salesman said he would wait if we hurried. 101 00:09:17,974 --> 00:09:22,060 But we were delayed en route when a Stingray in front of us killed a 102 00:09:22,144 --> 00:09:26,898 pedestrian. We had trouble again at the car rental agency. 103 00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:31,987 Hey, Mr. Duke. If I could just get your John Hancock, you're on your way. 104 00:09:32,071 --> 00:09:35,907 Listen you're gonna be real careful with this car, right? 105 00:09:35,992 --> 00:09:40,495 Oh yeah, man, of course. - Oh good, Jesus! No, no, no ... 106 00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:50,547 Holy smokes. You just backed over a 2 foot concrete abutment, you didn't ... 107 00:09:50,631 --> 00:09:54,759 even slow. Maybe, 45 miles an hour. - There's no harm done. 108 00:09:54,844 --> 00:09:57,887 Oh? - I always test the transmission that ... 109 00:09:57,972 --> 00:10:01,725 way. Boy, this is really a nice pen. - Yeah. Listen you fellas ... 110 00:10:01,809 --> 00:10:05,478 haven't been drinking, have you? - No, not me. 111 00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:10,317 We're responsible people. - As you know. Hey, hey, hey! 112 00:10:10,401 --> 00:10:14,321 God-damnit! You've got my pen! God-damn hippies! 113 00:10:17,533 --> 00:10:21,494 We spent the rest of that night rounding up materials and packing ... 114 00:10:21,579 --> 00:10:25,999 the car. Then we ate some mescaline and went swimming. 115 00:10:27,418 --> 00:10:31,379 Our trip was different. It was to be a classic affirmation of everything ... 116 00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:35,550 right in the national character; a physical salute to the fantastic ... 117 00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:39,721 possibilities of life in this country. But only for those with true grit and ... 118 00:10:39,805 --> 00:10:43,475 we are chock full of that, man. - Damn' right! 119 00:10:44,435 --> 00:10:50,440 My attorney understands this concept despite his racial handicap. Do you? 120 00:10:50,566 --> 00:10:56,655 He said he understood but I could see in his eyes that he didn't. He lies. 121 00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:12,754 Medicine! - What? 122 00:11:13,464 --> 00:11:17,050 Medicine! - Medicine? Oh, right. It's right here. 123 00:11:17,134 --> 00:11:21,221 Don't worry. This man has a bad heart. Angina pectoris. But we have a cure ... 124 00:11:21,305 --> 00:11:25,642 for it. Here you go. All right. Big whiff, sonny boy. 125 00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:32,440 There you go. Much better. Now for the doctor. 126 00:11:46,038 --> 00:11:51,292 What the fuck are we doing out here in the middle of the desert? 127 00:11:52,002 --> 00:11:56,339 Somebody call the police. We need help. We need help. 128 00:12:06,350 --> 00:12:08,435 The truth. - Truth? 129 00:12:09,645 --> 00:12:13,481 That we're going to Vegas to croak ... - Vegas ... 130 00:12:13,816 --> 00:12:17,652 ... a scag baron named Savage Henry. - It's true. 131 00:12:18,612 --> 00:12:22,532 Why? Because I've known him for years but he ripped us off. 132 00:12:22,616 --> 00:12:26,453 And you know what that means. - Now you know what that means, right? 133 00:12:26,537 --> 00:12:29,789 Savage Henry has just cashed his cheque. 134 00:12:30,207 --> 00:12:34,627 Cashed his cheque. - And we're gonna rip his lungs out. 135 00:12:34,962 --> 00:12:39,048 Gonna eat them. That bastard won't get away with this. What is going on this ... 136 00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:43,052 country when a scum-sucker like that can get away with sandbagging a Doctor ... 137 00:12:43,137 --> 00:12:47,640 of Journalism? Can you tell me that? - Thanks for the ride. I like you guys. 138 00:12:47,725 --> 00:12:52,395 Really, don't worry about me. - Wait! Come back and have a beer. 139 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,064 Shit! Fuck! I'm gonna miss him. 140 00:12:57,193 --> 00:13:01,279 Move over. We have to get out of California before that kid find a cop. 141 00:13:01,363 --> 00:13:07,202 Come on, scoot over you fat bastard. - We had a real freak on our hands. 142 00:13:11,123 --> 00:13:15,210 It was absolutely imperative that we get to the Hotel before the deadline ... 143 00:13:15,294 --> 00:13:20,965 for press registration. Otherwise we might have to pay for our suite. 144 00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:28,556 Jesus! Did you see what God just did to us, man? 145 00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:33,853 God didn't to that. You did it. You're a fucking narcotics agent, I knew it. 146 00:13:33,938 --> 00:13:37,482 That was our cocaine, you pig! You fucking pig, swine, whore! 147 00:13:37,566 --> 00:13:41,653 You better be careful. Plenty of vultures out here. They'll pick your ... 148 00:13:41,737 --> 00:13:45,323 bones clean before morning. - You fucking whore. 149 00:13:45,407 --> 00:13:49,160 Here's your half of the sunshine acid. Eat it. 150 00:13:50,538 --> 00:13:52,622 Yeah ... 151 00:13:52,915 --> 00:13:54,999 right. 152 00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:59,087 How long do I have? - As attorney, I advise you to drive at ... 153 00:13:59,171 --> 00:14:03,883 top speed. It'll be a miracle if we're there before you turn into a animal. 154 00:14:03,968 --> 00:14:07,053 Pig fucker, pig fucker, pig fucker ... 155 00:14:09,598 --> 00:14:13,685 Are you ready for that? Checking into a Vegas hotel under a phoney name with ... 156 00:14:13,769 --> 00:14:17,856 intent to commit capital fraud on a head full of acid? 157 00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:22,277 I sure hope so. - 30 minutes.

Room 12-50. Lacerda. 186 00:17:56,575 --> 00:18:00,661 I couldn't remember. The name rang a bell but I couldn't concentrate. 187 00:18:00,746 --> 00:18:04,415 Terrible things were happening all around us. 188 00:18:06,877 --> 00:18:12,173 Order some golf shoes.

And somebody was giving ... 192 00:19:04,351 --> 00:19:10,523 booze to these damn things. It won't be long before they tear us to shreds. 193 00:19:12,901 --> 00:19:16,988 I just went upstairs to see this man Lacerda. Says he's a photographer. 194 00:19:17,072 --> 00:19:21,159 But when I mentioned Savage Henry, he freaked. He understands we're ... 195 00:19:21,243 --> 00:19:25,872 on to him. Have you seen his eyes? You'll understand we have a magnum. 196 00:19:25,956 --> 00:19:30,376 Please!

Very tense. 238 00:22:55,707 --> 00:23:00,211 In some circles the Mint 400 is a far, far better thing than the Superbowl, 239 00:23:00,295 --> 00:23:04,382 the Kentucky Derby and the Lower Oakland Roller Derby finals all ... 240 00:23:04,466 --> 00:23:09,136 rolled into one.

To ponder this rotten assignment and figure out ... 243 00:23:16,186 --> 00:23:20,189 how to cope with it. It was time to do the job. Those of us who had been up ... 244 00:23:20,273 --> 00:23:24,193 all night were in no mood for coffee and donuts. We wanted strong drink. 245 00:23:24,277 --> 00:23:27,363 We were, after all the absolute cream ... 246 00:23:28,323 --> 00:23:32,410 of the national sporting press. We were gathered here in Las Vegas for ... 247 00:23:32,494 --> 00:23:35,329 this very special moment in sport. 248 00:23:36,706 --> 00:23:41,710 And when it comes to a thing like this you don't fool around. 249 00:23:46,842 --> 00:23:48,926 Money plays.

Ali beaten by a human hamburger. 252 00:24:00,605 --> 00:24:04,191 Both Kennedys murdered my mutants. - Hey, they're starting! 253 00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:07,319 Oh, shit, they're startin'. Let's go! 254 00:24:07,404 --> 00:24:11,490 Welcome to the start of the 50,000 dollar Mint 400 desert race. 255 00:24:11,575 --> 00:24:15,536 With a purse of 50,000 dollars going to the winner of this gruelling, 256 00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:20,791 gut wrenching, dust eating, in your face moto-cross extravaganza. 257 00:24:20,876 --> 00:24:22,960 And away we go. 258 00:24:28,008 --> 00:24:30,009 That's it. 259 00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:34,180 Our second group of 1971 is getting in place. Kawasakis. Triumphs. Maicos. 260 00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:38,350 Here we are. We're ready to go. It's the green flag and they're off! 261 00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:42,521 Another great start with a lot of dirt happening on the hill. All right. 262 00:24:42,606 --> 00:24:46,692 Here we go with the third group. And they're off! There we go. 263 00:24:46,776 --> 00:24:50,863 Number 45 ragged in the number 4 position is choking, 264 00:24:50,947 --> 00:24:53,032 his rattle flying ... 265 00:24:54,075 --> 00:24:58,621 You better wet those bandannas you got stretched over your face ... 266 00:24:58,705 --> 00:25:02,791 There was something like a 190 more bikes waiting to start. 267 00:25:02,876 --> 00:25:07,379 They were due to go off, 10 at a time.

More like Sunday. 270 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,320 By ten they were spread out all over the course. It was no longer a race. 271 00:25:31,404 --> 00:25:36,367 Now it was an endurance contest. The idea of trying to cover this race is ... 272 00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:39,703 any conventional press sense was absurd. 273 00:25:40,789 --> 00:25:43,541 Hi!

We need total coverage. 288 00:26:53,737 --> 00:26:57,865 It was time, I felt for an agonising reappraisal of the whole scene. 289 00:26:57,949 --> 00:27:00,284 You're fired. Awful jackass! 290 00:27:04,331 --> 00:27:08,500 Get me out of here! - I never want to see you again. 291 00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:12,463 I gotta take photos. Just drive into the dust! 292 00:27:18,094 --> 00:27:22,431 The race was definitely under way. I had witnessed the start. 293 00:27:22,515 --> 00:27:25,684 I was sure of that much. But what now? 294 00:27:26,227 --> 00:27:28,312 What comes next? 295 00:27:35,987 --> 00:27:40,699 Turn up the radio. Turn up the tape machine. Roll your window down. 296 00:27:40,784 --> 00:27:46,789 Let us taste this cool desert wind. Ah, yes, this is what it's all about. 297 00:27:47,707 --> 00:27:51,794 Total control now.

Why what? - Well, why should I pay my hard-earned ... 307 00:28:32,585 --> 00:28:36,672 dollars to watch a fucking corpse? I don't know about you but in my line of ... 308 00:28:36,756 --> 00:28:39,591 business it's important to be hep. 309 00:28:40,468 --> 00:28:45,013 What the hell do you think you're doing? This is not a parking area. 310 00:28:45,098 --> 00:28:48,016 You can't park your car here. - What? 311 00:28:48,643 --> 00:28:51,061 You can't park your car here. 312 00:28:52,814 --> 00:28:57,276 Is it not a reasonable place to park? - Reasonable? You're on a sidewalk! 313 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,988 We want this car parked. - You can't park on the sidewalk! 314 00:29:01,072 --> 00:29:04,742 Excuse me, sir. - Drove from LA for this show. 315 00:29:07,162 --> 00:29:12,499 We're friends of Debbie's. - It's cool, baby.

Total loss of all basic motor skills: blurred vision, 351 00:32:20,021 --> 00:32:24,107 no balance, numb tongue. The mind recoils in horror unable to ... 352 00:32:24,192 --> 00:32:28,195 communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting because you can ... 353 00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:32,366 actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way ... 354 00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:34,534 but you can't control it. 355 00:32:38,414 --> 00:32:42,501 You approach the turnstiles and you know that when you get there you have ... 356 00:32:42,585 --> 00:32:46,672 to give the man 2 dollars or he won't let you inside. But when you get there ... 357 00:32:46,756 --> 00:32:50,759 everything goes wrong. Some angry Rotarian shoves you and you think ... 358 00:32:50,843 --> 00:32:54,930 "What's happening here? What's going on?" When you hear yourself mumbling: 359 00:32:55,014 --> 00:32:58,266 Dog's fucked the Pope. No fault of mine. 360 00:33:01,062 --> 00:33:05,399 Ether is the perfect drug for Vegas.

Ok, keep moving, keep moving. 377 00:35:31,587 --> 00:35:35,674 The ether was wearing off. The acid was long gone. 378 00:35:35,758 --> 00:35:41,263 But the mescaline was running strong. Good mescaline comes on slow. 379 00:35:41,681 --> 00:35:45,767 The first hour's all waiting. And then about half-way through its second hour ... 380 00:35:45,852 --> 00:35:49,938 you start cursing the creep who burned you because nothing's happening. 381 00:35:50,022 --> 00:35:52,858 And then, zang! - I hate to say this ... 382 00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:58,071 but this place is getting to me.

Let's get out of here. Where's the elevator? 418 00:38:38,441 --> 00:38:42,527 No, fuck. Don't go near the elevator. That's just what they want us to do. 419 00:38:42,611 --> 00:38:48,283 Trap us in a steel box. Take us down to the basement. Come here, man! 420 00:38:49,577 --> 00:38:53,747 Don't run, man.

I'm gonna go get the car washed. 481 00:44:32,461 --> 00:44:36,297 One of the things you learn, after years of dealing with drug people ... 482 00:44:36,382 --> 00:44:40,468 is that you can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug. 483 00:44:40,552 --> 00:44:46,641 Especially when it's waving a razor-sharp hunting knife in your eye. 484 00:44:52,690 --> 00:44:57,694 What was I doing out here? What was the meaning of this trip? 485 00:44:58,278 --> 00:45:02,281 Was I just roaming around in a drug frenzy of some kind? 486 00:45:02,366 --> 00:45:07,453 Or had I really come out here to Las Vegas to work on a story? 487 00:45:11,750 --> 00:45:14,585 Who are these people? These faces? 488 00:45:15,879 --> 00:45:20,466 Where do they come from? They look like caricatures of used car dealers from Dallas. 489 00:45:20,551 --> 00:45:24,971 And, Jesus, there are a hell of a lot of them at 4:30 on a ... 490 00:45:25,055 --> 00:45:29,058 Sunday morning. Still humping the American Dream. 491 00:45:29,309 --> 00:45:33,396 That vision of the big winner somehow emerging from the last minute ... 492 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,649 pre-dawn chaos of a stale Vegas casino. 493 00:45:37,025 --> 00:45:39,277 Change a twenty.

I suspect it's gonna be ... 509 00:47:08,826 --> 00:47:13,454 a very difficult day. - I'll give you all the time you need. 510 00:47:13,539 --> 00:47:16,457 Electrocution. You don't want that. 511 00:47:17,167 --> 00:47:19,252 Fuck off! 512 00:47:26,134 --> 00:47:28,219 God-damn ... 513 00:47:41,441 --> 00:47:46,696 Help! Help! Help me! Somebody help! - Shit! He's killing himself. 514 00:47:48,365 --> 00:47:53,119 Don't touch it, man. Don't touch it! For fuck's sake, man. 515 00:47:53,537 --> 00:47:55,621 Back! 516 00:47:58,250 --> 00:48:00,334 Back, motherfucker! 517 00:48:03,380 --> 00:48:06,549 On a roll, man. I need it again. - What? 518 00:48:07,050 --> 00:48:10,052 When it comes to that fantastic note ... 519 00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:13,848 where the rabbit bites its own head of. 520 00:48:15,267 --> 00:48:18,436 I want you to throw that fucking radio ... 521 00:48:20,188 --> 00:48:24,775 into the tub with me. - You're going completely sideways! 522 00:48:25,444 --> 00:48:29,530 That'll blast you right through the wall. You'll be dead in 10 seconds. 523 00:48:29,615 --> 00:48:33,534 Fuck, they'll make me explain things. - Bullshit! 524 00:48:33,911 --> 00:48:37,079 Don't fuck with me now, man. I'm Ahab. 525 00:48:41,084 --> 00:48:44,962 Oh Jesus Christ. - Ok, you weird fucker, sit down! 526 00:48:45,047 --> 00:48:49,842 Back in the tub! I'll plunge this into your fucking throat, man. 527 00:48:49,927 --> 00:48:52,261 Don't make me use this, man! 528 00:48:54,348 --> 00:48:57,850 All right, man. Probably the only solution. 529 00:48:58,852 --> 00:49:04,023 Let me make sure I've got this all lined up. You want me to throw this ... 530 00:49:04,107 --> 00:49:09,195 thing into the tub when the "White Rabbit" peaks? Is that it? 531 00:49:11,281 --> 00:49:15,076 I was beginning to think I was gonna have to go outside and get one of the ... 532 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,913 god-damn maids to do it. - No, man. I'll do it. 533 00:49:19,539 --> 00:49:21,791 Shit! What are friends for? 534 00:49:27,464 --> 00:49:29,548 Are you ready? 535 00:49:31,510 --> 00:49:34,178 Close your eyes. Yeah, good boy. 536 00:49:38,266 --> 00:49:42,144 White Rabbit! White Rabbit! - Quiet, you're wasting my time. 537 00:49:42,229 --> 00:49:45,147 Get out of here, man. Out! Get out! 538 00:49:48,527 --> 00:49:51,028 Ok, close those peepers. 10 ... 539 00:49:55,367 --> 00:49:57,451 9, 111. 72. 3. 540 00:50:11,967 --> 00:50:14,468 I need sleep, I'm tellin' you. 541 00:50:36,450 --> 00:50:39,035 Mace! Mace, man! You want this? 542 00:50:41,788 --> 00:50:45,332 You'd do that, wouldn't you? - Well, why not? 543 00:50:45,417 --> 00:50:49,003 You fucking bastard! - Just a minute ago you were asking me ... 544 00:50:49,087 --> 00:50:54,175 to kill you. Now you wanna kill me. What I should do is call the police! 545 00:50:54,259 --> 00:50:58,012 Boy, are you upset! There'll be no point, man, 546 00:51:00,182 --> 00:51:04,268 calling the cops. - No choice. I wouldn't sleep with you ... 547 00:51:04,352 --> 00:51:09,940 wandering around with a head full of acid, and wanting to slice me up. 548 00:51:10,025 --> 00:51:13,611 Who said anything about slicing you up, man? 549 00:51:14,988 --> 00:51:19,325 I just wanted to carve a little "Z" on your forehead. 550 00:51:20,410 --> 00:51:24,497 Get back in the tub. Eat some reds and try to calm down. 551 00:51:24,581 --> 00:51:28,667 Smoke some grass, shoot some fucking smack. Shit, do whatever you've gotta ... 552 00:51:28,752 --> 00:51:33,589 do, but, please, let me get some fucking rest, man, please. 553 00:51:33,673 --> 00:51:36,258 Please. Get up, you pig fucker! 554 00:51:37,761 --> 00:51:39,845 Up! Up! - Well, I ... 555 00:51:43,683 --> 00:51:45,768 Yeah ... 556 00:51:46,686 --> 00:51:50,689 You need to get to work. God-damn, what a bummer. 557 00:51:51,650 --> 00:51:53,984 You scurvy, shyster bastard. 558 00:51:55,153 --> 00:51:57,822 I'm a Doctor of Journalism, man. 559 00:51:58,490 --> 00:52:02,660 Don't let me keep you up. Don't let me keep you up. 560 00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:06,580 Do you ever clean your shorts? 561 00:52:08,250 --> 00:52:10,584 Clean your shorts, god-damn! 562 00:52:15,257 --> 00:52:19,343 The acid had shifted gears on him. The next phase would probably be one ... 563 00:52:19,427 --> 00:52:23,430 of those hellishly intense introspective nightmares. 4 hours of ... 564 00:52:23,515 --> 00:52:26,100 of catatonic despair and drugs. 565 00:52:36,611 --> 00:52:41,157 Ignore the nightmare in the bathroom. Just another ugly refugee from the ... 566 00:52:41,241 --> 00:52:46,120 "Love Generation". My attorney had never been able to accept the notion ... 567 00:52:46,204 --> 00:52:50,291 often espoused by former drug abusers that you can get a lot higher without ... 568 00:52:50,375 --> 00:52:52,459 drugs than with them. 569 00:52:54,254 --> 00:52:58,465 And neither have I, for that matter. ♪ When the truth is found ♪ 570 00:52:58,550 --> 00:53:00,634 ♪ To be lies ♪ 571 00:53:03,054 --> 00:53:05,639 ♪ And all the joy within you dies ♪ 572 00:53:09,603 --> 00:53:12,188 ♪ Don't you want somebody to love ♪ 573 00:53:13,064 --> 00:53:15,649 ♪ Don't you need somebody to love ♪ 574 00:53:16,776 --> 00:53:19,612 ♪ Wouldn't you love somebody to love ♪ 575 00:53:20,447 --> 00:53:23,115 ♪ You better find somebody to love ♪ 576 00:53:29,372 --> 00:53:32,625 1965, the great San Francisco acid wave. 577 00:53:36,296 --> 00:53:40,966 I recall one night in a place called "The Matrix". There I was ... 578 00:53:41,051 --> 00:53:44,136 Mother of God. There I am! Holy fuck! 579 00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:51,143 Clearly I was a victim of the drug explosion. A natural street freak 580 00:53:51,228 --> 00:53:53,646 just eating whatever came by. 581 00:53:55,023 --> 00:53:57,107 Any-body want some L-S-D? 582 00:54:01,488 --> 00:54:04,156 I got all the makings right here ... 583 00:54:05,951 --> 00:54:08,452 all I need is a place to cook. 584 00:54:14,876 --> 00:54:18,963 I decided to eat only half of the acid at first. But I spilled the ... 585 00:54:19,047 --> 00:54:22,549 rest on the sleeve of my red woollen shirt. 586 00:54:27,472 --> 00:54:29,556 What's the trouble? 587 00:54:32,060 --> 00:54:35,229 Well, all this white stuff on my sleeve ... 588 00:54:38,817 --> 00:54:40,901 is LSD. 589 00:54:57,961 --> 00:55:01,964 With a bit of luck his life was ruined forever ... 590 00:55:02,841 --> 00:55:06,927 Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all his favourite bars ... 591 00:55:07,012 --> 00:55:10,931 men, in red woollen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things ... 592 00:55:11,016 --> 00:55:13,100 he'll never know. 593 00:55:19,357 --> 00:55:23,527 Strange memories on the nervous night in Las Vegas. 594 00:55:23,820 --> 00:55:25,904 Has it been 5 years? 6? 595 00:55:27,615 --> 00:55:33,037 It seems like a lifetime. The kind of peak that never comes again. 596 00:55:35,665 --> 00:55:39,752 San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to ... 597 00:55:39,836 --> 00:55:42,588 be a part of. But no explanation, 598 00:55:44,466 --> 00:55:48,552 no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that ... 599 00:55:48,636 --> 00:55:53,724 you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. 600 00:55:54,184 --> 00:55:56,268 Whatever it meant. 601 00:56:04,402 --> 00:56:08,238 There was madness in any direction at any hour. 602 00:56:08,531 --> 00:56:11,283 You could strike sparks anywhere. 603 00:56:11,910 --> 00:56:16,830 There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right ... 604 00:56:16,915 --> 00:56:21,418 that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle ... 605 00:56:22,962 --> 00:56:27,466 that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. 606 00:56:27,550 --> 00:56:32,012 Not in any mean or military sense. We didn't need that. 607 00:56:32,097 --> 00:56:36,183 Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum we were riding ... 608 00:56:36,267 --> 00:56:39,353 the crest of high and beautiful wave. 609 00:56:43,858 --> 00:56:46,693 So now less than 5 years later you ... 610 00:56:48,029 --> 00:56:52,282 can go up on a steep hill in Vegas and look west and, 611 00:56:52,492 --> 00:56:57,746 with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark. 612 00:56:57,831 --> 00:57:02,418 That place where the wave finally broke and rolled back. 613 00:57:20,145 --> 00:57:22,229 Room service! 614 00:57:26,067 --> 00:57:29,486 Good morning, sir. - What do you want, man? 615 00:57:30,780 --> 00:57:33,824 Room service. - This is not mine, you're in the ... 616 00:57:33,908 --> 00:57:37,703 wrong room. Get the fuck out! I got a gun. It's not mine, man. 617 00:57:37,787 --> 00:57:39,788 Get out! 618 00:57:39,873 --> 00:57:43,959 I have the bill. I need you to sign ... - All right. Give it. Hurry up! 619 00:57:44,043 --> 00:57:46,628 Don't move, man. Be very still. 620 00:57:48,339 --> 00:57:50,841 Saying nothing to no-one, man. 621 00:57:54,679 --> 00:57:57,598 The decision to flee came suddenly. 622 00:57:59,267 --> 00:58:03,228 Or maybe not. Maybe I'd planned it all along subconsciously waiting for ... 623 00:58:03,313 --> 00:58:08,567 the right moment. The bill was a factor, I think because I had no ... 624 00:58:08,651 --> 00:58:12,738 money to pay for it. Our room service tabs had been running somewhere ... 625 00:58:12,822 --> 00:58:15,657 between 29 and 36 dollars per hour ... 626 00:58:16,868 --> 00:58:19,953 for 48 consecutive hours. Incredible. 627 00:58:20,955 --> 00:58:25,709 How could it happen? But by the time I asked this question there was no ... 628 00:58:25,793 --> 00:58:30,130 one around to answer. That attorney of mine, Doctor Gonzo, was gone. 629 00:58:30,215 --> 00:58:32,549 He must have sensed trouble. 630 00:58:34,552 --> 00:58:36,637 A "Z"? 631 00:58:37,096 --> 00:58:41,308 Panic. It crept up my spine like first rising vibes of an acid frenzy. 632 00:58:41,392 --> 00:58:46,146 All these horrible realities began to dawn on me. Oh fuck! 633 00:58:50,735 --> 00:58:55,197 Here I was alone in Las Vegas. Completely twisted on drugs, 634 00:58:55,281 --> 00:58:59,910 no cash, no story for the magazine. And on top of everything else ... 635 00:58:59,994 --> 00:59:04,081 I had a gigantic god-damn hotel bill to deal with. 636 00:59:06,626 --> 00:59:10,754 I didn't even know who'd won the race. Maybe nobody. 637 00:59:10,838 --> 00:59:14,800 How would Horatio Alger have handled the situation? 638 00:59:14,884 --> 00:59:19,721 Stay calm. Stay calm. I'm a relatively respectable citizen. 639 00:59:20,598 --> 00:59:25,102 A multiple felon, perhaps, but certainly not dangerous. 640 00:59:26,354 --> 00:59:30,440 Luckily I had taken the soap and grapefruit and other luggage to the ... 641 00:59:30,525 --> 00:59:34,653 car a few hours earlier. Now it was only a matter of slipping the noose. 642 00:59:34,737 --> 00:59:37,906 Hey, wait! Here! Take this. All right. 643 00:59:39,534 --> 00:59:41,952 Mr. Duke! Mr. Duke! - Oh, shit! 644 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:48,208 We've been looking for you. - The game was up. They had me. 645 00:59:48,293 --> 00:59:51,795 Fine books have been written in jail. - Sir? 646 00:59:52,297 --> 00:59:54,339 What? 647 00:59:54,424 --> 00:59:58,510 This telegram came for you. Well, actually, it's not for you. 648 00:59:58,595 --> 01:00:02,681 It's for somebody named Thompson but it says "Care of Raoul Duke". 649 01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:05,809 Does that mean anything? - Yes, yes, thanks. 650 01:00:05,893 --> 01:00:10,355 I checked the register for this man. I figured he might be part of your team. 651 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:14,526 He is. Don't worry. Get it to him. - What confused us was Doctor Gonzo's 652 01:00:14,611 --> 01:00:18,697 signature on the telegram form Los Angeles when we knew he was right ... 653 01:00:18,781 --> 01:00:23,118 here in the hotel. - Right. Never try and understand a ... 654 01:00:23,286 --> 01:00:27,289 press message. About half the time we use codes especially with Dr. Gonzo. 655 01:00:27,373 --> 01:00:30,459 See you. - Tell me when will the Doctor ... 656 01:00:33,046 --> 01:00:35,881 be awake? - Awake? What do you mean? 657 01:00:36,883 --> 01:00:41,053 Well, my manager, Mr. Heem, would like to meet him. 658 01:00:42,639 --> 01:00:46,725 It's nothing unusual. Mr. Heem likes to meet all of our large accounts. 659 01:00:46,809 --> 01:00:50,896 Put 'em on a personal basis, you know, just a chat and a handshake. 660 01:00:50,980 --> 01:00:55,067 You understand. - Of course. But if I were you I would ... 661 01:00:55,151 --> 01:00:59,237 leave the Doctor alone until after he's eaten his breakfast because he's ... 662 01:00:59,322 --> 01:01:01,657 a very crude man. Jesus God. 663 01:01:04,452 --> 01:01:08,538 But he will be available maybe later this morning? 664 01:01:10,541 --> 01:01:15,796 Look the telegram is actually all scrambled. It's from Thompson. 665 01:01:16,172 --> 01:01:20,842 Not to him. All right? Now I've got to go. I've gotta get to the race. 666 01:01:20,927 --> 01:01:24,513 But no hurry, the race is over. - Not for me. 667 01:01:25,556 --> 01:01:29,309 Well, let's have lunch! - Rightio, man rightio. 668 01:01:33,564 --> 01:01:38,235 Jesus. Bad waves of paranoia, madness, fear and loathing, 669 01:01:38,986 --> 01:01:42,739 intolerable vibrations in this place. Get out. 670 01:01:43,741 --> 01:01:48,537 The weasels were closing in. I could smell the ugly brutes. 671 01:01:48,621 --> 01:01:52,708 Do me one last favour, Lord just give me 5 more high speed hours before you ... 672 01:01:52,792 --> 01:01:56,878 bring the hammer down. Just let me get rid of this god-damn car and ... 673 01:01:56,963 --> 01:01:59,047 off this horrible desert. 674 01:02:06,889 --> 01:02:11,685 Oh, you evil bastard! This is your work. You better take care of me, 675 01:02:11,769 --> 01:02:16,189 Lord. If you don't you're gonna have me on your hands. 676 01:02:23,448 --> 01:02:27,159 Pull over. Pull over. - Hey! Good morning. How are you? 677 01:02:27,243 --> 01:02:29,911 All right, man. Doing very well. 678 01:02:31,998 --> 01:02:36,001 Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a traffic cop. 679 01:02:36,085 --> 01:02:40,839 Your normal speeder will panic and pull over to the side. This is wrong. 680 01:02:40,923 --> 01:02:45,093 It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. 681 01:02:45,178 --> 01:02:49,264 He will follow. But he won't know what to make of your blinker signal ... 682 01:02:49,348 --> 01:02:53,268 that says you're about to turn right. This is to let him know you're pulling ... 683 01:02:53,352 --> 01:02:57,355 off for a proper place to talk. It'll take him a moment to realise that he's ... 684 01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:00,859 about to make a 180 degree turn, at speed. 685 01:03:01,486 --> 01:03:06,907 But you will be ready for it braced for the G's and the fast heel. 686 01:03:17,835 --> 01:03:19,920 Hi. How are you? 687 01:03:23,132 --> 01:03:27,761 Just what in the hell did you think you were doing? I wanna know. 688 01:03:27,845 --> 01:03:32,516 Let me see your licence. - Of course, officer. Right here. 689 01:03:35,645 --> 01:03:37,729 Oh my gosh. 690 01:03:42,151 --> 01:03:44,820 It's me. - May I please have that? 691 01:03:47,657 --> 01:03:49,741 I knew I was fucked. 692 01:03:56,165 --> 01:04:00,210 I see you have two cases of beer, a basket of grapefruit, 693 01:04:00,294 --> 01:04:04,673 stack of T-shirts and towels, light-bulbs. Do you realise what you ... 694 01:04:04,757 --> 01:04:08,844 did when you drive like that? - I know, I'm guilty. I understand it. 695 01:04:08,928 --> 01:04:13,014 I knew it was a crime. I did it anyway. Shit, why argue? 696 01:04:13,099 --> 01:04:17,143 I'm a fucking criminal. Look at me. - You have a strange attitude. 697 01:04:17,228 --> 01:04:19,312 Maybe. 698 01:04:19,647 --> 01:04:23,400 You know, I've feeling you need to take a nap. 699 01:04:23,943 --> 01:04:28,029 There's a rest area just up ahead. I'd like you to go up there, 700 01:04:28,114 --> 01:04:32,033 pull over, and get a few hours sleep. - That's not gonna help me. I've been awake ... 701 01:04:32,118 --> 01:04:36,204 for too long, 3 or 4 nights maybe. I can't even remember. If I go to ... 702 01:04:36,289 --> 01:04:40,208 sleep now, I'm dead for 20 hours. - What are you carrying 2 cases ... 703 01:04:40,293 --> 01:04:43,378 of soap for, son? - I wanna stay clean. 704 01:04:45,423 --> 01:04:47,507 No ... Here's how it is. 705 01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,805 What I put into my book as of noon, is that I apprehended you for ... 706 01:04:53,890 --> 01:04:57,976 driving too fast! I advised you to proceed to the next ... 707 01:04:58,060 --> 01:05:00,145 rest area. Stop! 708 01:05:04,233 --> 01:05:09,571 I advised you to proceed to the next rest area. Your stated destination, 709 01:05:09,655 --> 01:05:11,907 right? And take a long nap. 710 01:05:15,745 --> 01:05:18,163 Do I make myself clear? - Well, 711 01:05:20,082 --> 01:05:24,169 how far is Baker? I was sort of hoping to ... I don't know, 712 01:05:24,253 --> 01:05:28,006 stop there for lunch. - Not in my jurisdiction. 713 01:05:28,257 --> 01:05:32,093 City limits are 2.2 miles beyond the rest area. 714 01:05:32,303 --> 01:05:35,221 Can you make it that far? - I'll try. 715 01:05:36,098 --> 01:05:42,270 I've been wanting to go to Baker for a long time. Yeah, heard a lot about it. 716 01:05:42,355 --> 01:05:45,690 Excellent seafood. You know, I'm thinking ... 717 01:05:47,234 --> 01:05:51,821 a guy with your kind of mind ought to try the land-crab. 718 01:05:52,490 --> 01:05:55,825 Excellent seafood. - Land-crab? All right. 719 01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,537 Why not? Thanks for the tip. 720 01:06:01,582 --> 01:06:03,667 Look at me in the eyes. 721 01:06:06,837 --> 01:06:08,922 Everything all right? 722 01:06:12,218 --> 01:06:15,387 May I have a little kiss before you go? 723 01:06:16,180 --> 01:06:18,264 I'm very lonely here. 724 01:06:25,815 --> 01:06:29,651 I felt raped. The pig had done me on all fronts ... 725 01:06:30,194 --> 01:06:34,280 and now he was going off to chuckle about it on the west side of town. 726 01:06:34,365 --> 01:06:38,451 Waiting for me to make a run for LA. "Why, yes, officer, of course. 727 01:06:38,536 --> 01:06:42,622 I'll take advantage of that rest area. And I can't tell you how grateful I'm ... 728 01:06:42,707 --> 01:06:46,793 for this break you wanna give me." Get a grip, man. 729 01:06:47,336 --> 01:06:51,339 If I boom straight for LA he'll bust me for sure. 730 01:06:51,590 --> 01:06:54,926 No. This was not the time for a showdown. 731 01:06:57,096 --> 01:06:59,180 This was Death Valley. 732 01:07:02,226 --> 01:07:04,811 Oh fuck! Sweet Jesus, it's him. 733 01:07:06,897 --> 01:07:08,982 Oh my God! 734 01:07:14,488 --> 01:07:20,160 Shit! Come on, you fucking bastard. Oh God, oh God! I've got to go ... 735 01:07:23,873 --> 01:07:27,959 Well they've nailed me. I'm trapped in some stinking desert crossroads called ... 736 01:07:28,044 --> 01:07:32,047 Baker. I don't have much time. They'll hunt me down like a fucking beast. 737 01:07:32,131 --> 01:07:36,926 Who? You sound a little paranoid. - I need a fucking lawyer immediately! 738 01:07:37,011 --> 01:07:42,515 What? Didn't you get my telegram? - What telegram, you worthless bastard? 739 01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,686 I'll cripple your ass for this. - You're supposed to be in Vegas. 740 01:07:46,771 --> 01:07:50,857 I rented a suite at THE FLAMINGO. You're supposed to be covering the ... 741 01:07:50,941 --> 01:07:55,445 National District Attorney's Conference. I made all reservations. 742 01:07:55,529 --> 01:07:57,864 Everything is arranged. Now, 743 01:07:58,866 --> 01:08:02,535 what the fuck are you doing out there in the middle of the desert? 744 01:08:02,620 --> 01:08:06,956 Nothing. Never mind. It's all a big joke. I'm actually ... I'm poolside at ... 745 01:08:07,041 --> 01:08:11,127 THE FLAMINGO right now. Talking from a portable phone some dwarf brought out ... 746 01:08:11,212 --> 01:08:15,298 from the casino. I have total credit. Don't come anywhere near this place, 747 01:08:15,382 --> 01:08:18,968 you bastard. Foreigners aren't welcome here. 748 01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:23,932 Well, this is how the world works. All energy flows according to the ... 749 01:08:24,016 --> 01:08:26,184 whims of the Great Magnet. 750 01:08:27,144 --> 01:08:29,646 What a fool I was to defy him. 751 01:08:31,065 --> 01:08:34,567 I was going back to Vegas. I had no choice. 752 01:08:37,071 --> 01:08:41,157 I had to get rid of The Shark. Too many people might recognise it, 753 01:08:41,242 --> 01:08:43,576 especially the Vegas police. 754 01:08:44,620 --> 01:08:48,706 Luckily my credit card was still technically valid. 755 01:08:48,791 --> 01:08:52,544 Now this was a superior machine. 10 grand worth of gimmicks ... 756 01:08:52,628 --> 01:08:55,213 and high-price special effects. 757 01:08:55,881 --> 01:08:59,968 The rear windows leapt up with a touch like frogs in a dynamite pond. 758 01:09:00,052 --> 01:09:04,139 The dashboard was full of esoteric lights and dials and meters ... 759 01:09:04,223 --> 01:09:08,268 that I would never understand. If the pigs were gathering in Vegas ... 760 01:09:08,352 --> 01:09:12,355 I felt the drug culture should be represented as well. And there was ... 761 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:16,401 a certain bent appeal in the notion of running a savage burn on one Vegas ... 762 01:09:16,485 --> 01:09:20,488 hotel and then just wheeling across town and checking into another. 763 01:09:20,573 --> 01:09:24,909 Me and a 1,000 ranking cops from all over America.

Jesus, she's never ... 838 01:15:45,415 --> 01:15:50,002 even had a drink before. - It'll probably work out. We can keep ... 839 01:15:50,087 --> 01:15:54,173 her loaded and then peddle her ass at the drug convention. She's perfect for ... 840 01:15:54,258 --> 01:15:58,344 this gig. These cops'll go 50 bucks a head to beat her into submission and ... 841 01:15:58,428 --> 01:16:02,515 then gang fuck her. We set her up in one back-street motel, hang pictures ... 842 01:16:02,599 --> 01:16:07,687 of Jesus. And then turn these fucking pigs loose on her. She's strong, man. 843 01:16:07,771 --> 01:16:09,855 She'll hold her own. 844 01:16:11,066 --> 01:16:15,152 Jesus Christ, I knew you were sick but I'd never expected to hear you say ... 845 01:16:15,237 --> 01:16:19,991 that kind of stuff.

Christ, if we keep her full ... 849 01:16:32,504 --> 01:16:36,507 of acid, that's more like 2 grand a day. Maybe 3. 850 01:16:38,552 --> 01:16:43,097 What if I beat the dumb shit out of you? Would that make you feel ... 851 01:16:43,181 --> 01:16:47,852 any better?
