Poor counties. They half-finish
a road, start another.

:54:04
If anybody knows them back roads,
it's Red.

:54:08
Okay. . .
:54:11
. . .so. . .
:54:13
. . .I'm Robert Haynes. Everybody calls
me Butch. I was born in Amarillo. . .

:54:19
. . .but grew up in the French Quarter
in New Orleans.

:54:23
What's she doing, Red?
:54:26
I killed a man when I was 8.
:54:30
How did you kill him?
:54:32
Shot him with a .38. There was always
one lying around the dance hall.

:54:37
That's what they called it,
but it was a brothel. We lived there.

:54:41
-What did the authorities do?
-Victim was wanted by the locals. . .

:54:46
. . .so the whole thing got swept
under the carpet, Cajun-style.

:54:50
They didn't even send him to the juvie?
:54:54
Put me in school. I was three
years behind, but I catch up.

:54:58
-Things are going pretty good now.
-Yeah, they are for a while.

:55:02
-And when I'm 12, Mama dies.
-What happened?

:55:06
Delilah Jane Haynes hung herself
in the bathroom of the whorehouse.

:55:11
Post-mortem check uncovered
last-stage syphilis.

:55:14
-Where's your father?
-Nobody knows where he is.

:55:18
Ditched when I was 6.
He was a small-time felon.

:55:23
Popped back up after Mama died.
:55:26
He'd just been put on parole,
so he moves us back to Amarillo.

:55:30
-A year later, I'm back in trouble.
-Kill somebody else?

:55:37
Saw a Ford coupe I couldn't resist.
So I took her for a spin.

:55:41
-Hell, that ain't no big deal.
-That's what I thought.

:55:45
But the judge didn't. I got four years
in Gatesville, toughest juvie in Texas.

:55:50
That's where he learned to be
a criminal. We've seen that before.

:55:59
Butch, why don't you tell us
where you're headed. . .
