"Praise your name." "You've brought them back to me." "What is it you want?" "I have done all that you've asked but now you mock me." "Why?" "What am I supposed to do?"

"Got it from them two rubes down in Sweet Water last year." "They said they couldn't pay... but they had a bolt of their grandmammy's silk."

" Don't say it's Management." "You brought us here." "You." "We'll talk about this later." "Why?" "Don't want to look Stumpy in the eye... and tell him that you are the one that got his girl killed?" "You listen to me, you son of a bitch, and you listen good." "You can drink yourself stupid, you can go on and call me a liar, but don't you hold me up for what happened to that little girl." "No one here, Samson." "I can see that." " Ain't in the bunkhouse, ain't in the mines." " Whole town cut and run." "Well, what are we supposed to do now?" "I wanna bury my girl." "Wanna bury my little girl." "Hell, Stumpy, we can't let them get away with this." "Somebody got to pay." "Justin?" "Is that deep enough?" "All set." "About 200 yards south, on a rise." "After we pack up," "I'm moving on." "Where to?" "Tulsa, maybe." "Dailey Brothers Carnival should be heading through there in the next month." "Dailey Brothers." " It's a good outfit." " So I hear." "Jonesy..." "There's men you trust and men you don't trust." "I trusted you, even when no one else would." "I'd like to think it's always gone both ways." "Lord..." "I knew this girl." "Her name was Dora Mae Dreifuss." "She was like kin to me and everyone standing here." "You know her, Lord." "You know she had a hard life." "Some of what she done you may not approve of." "Some of what she done you may call sin." "But she was a good girl, Lord, and we loved her," "and we want you to welcome her into your arms." "And we know you will." "Dora Mae," "you was a real good dancer." "Lib!" ""SAMSON THE MAGNIFICENT"" "This is from Management." "He got it in the old country." "He said it would never need winding." "Walk me back?" "Sure." "Everything is changing." "Nothing's the way it used to be." "That is a fact." "Doesn't feel like home, either." "Feels like a prison." "And I can't..." "I can't leave Mama." "I can't keep going." "I'm trapped." "Sof, I..." "Samson!" "There's still one man left in Babylon!" "Gabe, let's do it." "Easy." "This thing's ancient." "Go." "I know you're here, boy." "Good for you." "Would that be the sound of a decrepit wagon that looks as if Noah had it on the Ark?" "Gabriel's hauling it into the ten-in-one." "Then you're in luck, Hawkins." "You're about to participate... in an obscure but fascinating ritual... known as "carnival justice"." "Not to be missed." "Close the flap." "What's your name, son?" "You know my name." "Protocol." "What's your name?" "Stangler." "You live in Babylon?" ""Live" ain't the word I would use." "Do you reside there?" "Yeah, I guess I do." "You know what happened here last night?" "I heard someone died." "She was killed." "Defiled and killed, actually." "Terrible thing." "It certainly is." "So you can imagine that we wanted justice." "But when we rode into town today, why, there wasn't a soul there." "Am I being funny?" "Guess not." "Truth is, there's a lot of souls in Babylon." "A lot of them." "We didn't see no one there this morning." "They're still there." "It's just your bad luck then that we found you." "Get on with it, Samson." "Bring it in." "What's he doing?" "The wagon is circled three times around the accused." "Why three times?" "I doubt anyone here even remembers... but that's the way it's always done." "Speak the name of the dead." "Dora Mae Dreifuss." "One of ours is dead." "One of theirs is gonna answer for it." "Pick a number, one through six." "What do you mean?" "I mean, pick a number." "One through six." "Why?" "If you don't pick one, we'll pick one for you." "Six sounds good to me." "Three." "The number is three." "He's just gonna shoot him dead right here?" "He'll have a chance." "More of a chance than Dora Mae did." "Y'all don't even know if he is the one who even did it." "That's not the point." "There's times when we have to make our own justice." "This is who we are, Ben." "If you have anything you'd like to say, now would be the time." "I see what you're doing... and I understand, I really do." "Can't say I blame you none, either." "But she's got a lot of snap in her garter, that one." "She weren't no good girl." " Come on!" " Stumpy, get back." "Hold him." "If one's taken, it's best it's her." "You got to understand." "We ain't got no women here in Babylon." "Be right nice to have someone to dance with every night." "What are you saying?" "You killed her so you could dance with her?" "She'll be fine." "I'll watch out for her best I can." "I can't believe this." "He did it." "He's admitted it." "Pull the goddamn trigger, Samson." "Yeah, go ahead." "OK!" "But don't do it here." "I die here, I stay here, like the rest of them." " Like everyone else since Scudder left." " What's that?" "Just take me over the hill before you do it." "That's all I'm asking." "Just take me over the hill, please." "Why?" "What's over the hill?" "Nothing." "Nothing at all." "It just ain't here." "Pull the trigger on the son of a bitch." "One." "Two." "Pull it again." "Pull it again, Samson." " Pull it again!" " Come on!" "That ain't the way." "It ain't the way we do this." "We got rules." "He confessed, Samson!" " How can you stand there..." " Felix!" "I buried three children before today." "Influenza took two and one was stillborn." "But me and Felix, we got through that because it was God's will." "But last night..." "Last night was not God's will." "It was this man!" "And he is gonna pay for it!" "Now, I would like my husband's gun back." "The man picked his number." "That's the end of it." "Rita Sue, Stumpy, Libby," "I'm sorry." "We ain't doing this." "The man picked his number." "We got a code here." "If we break the code, we got nothing left." "You two take this son of a bitch and bring him back to town." "Safe and sound." "Not a hair from his head or you answer to me." "You got it?" "Go." "OK, it's slough time." "We're packing it up." "Management wants us on the road by dawn." "OK, you heard the man." "Management gives the orders, we jump." "Them's the rules." "Gabe, move that wagon, bring this canvas down." "Hawkins, you and Schmidt are on Colossus." "I never saw her again." "She left." "With my money, with my best friend." "With my car, even." "So I started riding the rails." "I decided that this is the life." "I don't need a job." "And so I'm a happy man." "That's it?" " That's the end?" " That's it." "But I could tell another story about when I..." "No, let's... let someone else talk for a change." "How about you, friend?" "You got a story to tell around the campfire?" "Friend?" "You got a story to tell?" "You know, lost your job, lost your girlfriend." "Lost your dog." "I lost my God." "Now, ladies and gentlemen, we present at this time..." "True Tales From On The Road, reported by our own Tommy Dolan." "Good evening, friends." "Tonight, another story I found on the road... in the Great San Joaquin Valley." "It's the story of a preacher who tried to bring hope to the hopeless, tried to lift up the downtrodden, tried to bring light to those lost in the darkness." "It's the story of a man named Brother Justin... and a town called Mintern." "...so six innocent children perished in the flames of hate." "This was no accidental fire." "This was the work of evil men." "The same men who blocked the good work of Brother Justin because he dared to minister to the destitute." "The city fathers of Mintern called 'em Okies and wanted 'em out." "And when Justin stood up to them, someone burned down his church and murdered his children." "What kind of world is this, friends?" "What kind of world where people burn down churches in the night?" "And what of Brother Justin?" "Where is he?" "When this reporter last saw him, he was out there, walking alone, looking for a sign from God that his work was not in vain." "Where are you, Brother Justin?" "Where are you?" " How long?" " 20, 30 maybe." "I'll be back." "Where are you going?" "Whiskey, please." "Hell, I didn't expect to see you here." "This one's on the house." "I sure appreciate what you did yesterday." "Can't have been easy going against all your folk like that." "I respect a man who lives by a code." "I am grateful, let me tell you." "I kind of thought you might be." "That's why I thought maybe you'd do me one in return." "What do you know about Henry Scudder?" "Strange fellow, that one." "Came to work the mines but people knew right off there was something different about him." "And then he killed old Carlton with a pickaxe, and that was it." "People were mighty unhappy, let me tell you." "No law here, of course." "So, the miners, they set out to take matters into their own hands." "They were gonna string Scudder up." "He wasn't going to have none of that, no, sir." "That's when it happened." "A cave-in wiped out the whole company." "Terrible thing." "I was there, I saw it." "And then the next night... they came back." "Every one of them, they came back." "They just keep coming back." "Sounds crazy, don't it?" "Not that crazy." "Thanks for the whiskey." "Let's go." "Still heading south?" "Yup." "Figured." "Subtitles subXpacio and TusSeries"
