:21:05
Silence.
:21:07
Okay. At least tell me why Haynes
did four years for a joyride, huh?
:21:12
What about probation?
The boy had a home, a father.
:21:17
What do your files say about him?
:21:20
It says he was a thief who did some
time, got out and stayed pretty clean.
:21:26
Your precious files are wrong.
:21:31
Okay.
:21:33
So tell me the truth.
:21:38
Haynes' old man,
he was a career criminal. . .
:21:44
. . .with a soft spot for whores.
One thing's for sure. . .
:21:48
. . .he beat the hell out of anything he
ever came across, screwed or fathered.
:21:54
If l--
:21:57
If the judge had let
the boy go with him. . .
:22:00
. . .he'd have a rap sheet as long
as your arm within a year.
:22:06
Gatesville isn't so bad.
:22:09
I've known kids there
who straightened up.
:22:15
One even became a priest.
:22:19
I don't get it.
:22:21
Well, you don't get it.
:22:24
In Texas, the bottom line is who
you know and what they owe you.
:22:28
That's how I do my job.
It's how you got your job.
:22:33
You are tough, aren't you?
:22:37
I bought that judge a T-bone,
and I told him to send the boy up.
:22:42
I told him it was
the right thing to do.
:22:47
The judge went with me,
right down the line.
