00:03:07I've had nothing but trouble since I met Benny.
00:03:14I've seen more jails, I've been in more courts, I met more lawyers.
00:03:18I mean, it can't be love. It must just be stupidity.
00:03:30Yes.
00:03:36And then they said it's for the kids. You know, everybody should bring their kids.
00:03:40They bring the kids and all the husbands are stoned.
00:03:43The wives, you know, are bitching at the husbands.
00:03:45I don't think it's good to bring the kids.
00:03:46Huh?
00:03:47I don't think it's good to bring the kids.
00:03:48Yeah.
00:03:49Especially when the guy's a drinker.
00:03:50Well, you know, Johnny says a family picnic, his kids, whatever, too.
00:03:53Yeah, but he didn't get stoned out of his mind either.
00:03:55No, but then, dingy, last year, I didn't know any of them people there either, you know?
00:04:00Kathy, remember once when you were telling me about, you know, when you first met the guys?
00:04:04Yeah.
00:04:05And how you, uh...
00:04:06Well, I changed. I have.
00:04:08Why? Why don't you talk to me about that?
00:04:10Well, in a year, I mean, last year, what, from the beginning?
00:04:13Last year, my girlfriend called me up and she asked me to come down to Grand and Division.
00:04:17She needed some money.
00:04:19She said it was a bar.
00:04:21And she said that the guys were having a meeting there.
00:04:24Well, I didn't know the guys or anything, so I went there.
00:04:27And I never felt so out of place in all my life.
00:04:33I walked in there, and I had white Levi's on.
00:04:36I had a sweater on, you know?
00:04:38And I looked, and the first guy I seen was quirky.
00:04:40Hey, you're beautiful.
00:04:42You need a man?
00:04:45Hey, nice talking to you.
00:04:47I mean, I seen them all.
00:04:48With earrings hanging out of their ears, belly buttons showing, you know, like half-naked.
00:04:52I mean, to me, they was like half-naked, you know?
00:04:54I mean, of course, I didn't know them yet, but there was quirky, zip-co, cow-wahoo, brucey.
00:04:59You know, I seen them all.
00:05:01They're all hooting and hollering.
00:05:03I mean, they scared the living shit out of me.
00:05:05So I sees my girlfriend, and I goes over by her, and I sits down there, and I'm taking everything in.
00:05:12Here.
00:05:13Your vest.
00:05:14No, I gotta go.
00:05:15You just got here.
00:05:16That's Cockroach.
00:05:18What?
00:05:19They call me Cockroach.
00:05:20Why they call you a stupid name like that?
00:05:22Because I like to eat bugs, you know?
00:05:24I can gag.
00:05:25But I do, I mean, like to eat them.
00:05:27Bugs, you know.
00:05:28Well, that's disgusting.
00:05:29I gotta go.
00:05:30Hey, they're not that bad.
00:05:31Just sit here for a minute.
00:05:33Hey there.
00:05:36You want to come live with me?
00:05:38What about me?
00:05:39You want to go out?
00:05:40No, thank you.
00:05:43Why, you have a date?
00:05:44A date?
00:05:45Yeah, 12 o'clock.
00:05:46I have to get home.
00:05:47No, you're that Cockroach.
00:05:49Cinderella's got a date.
00:05:50Yeah, Cinderella's got a date at 12 o'clock.
00:05:53She's about to turn into a fucking pumpkin.
00:06:04You see that?
00:06:05They're playing or something.
00:06:06Look at all of them whispering over there.
00:06:07No.
00:06:08No, I'm gonna go.
00:06:12And that's when I seen Benny.
00:06:15Standing over at the pool table.
00:06:20Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-da-da-da.
00:06:24Ah-ha-ha-ha-da-da-da.
00:06:28Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:06:33Boy, who's that good looking guy over at the pool table?
00:06:36Oh, Kathy, you don't want to go out with him.
00:06:38Why not?
00:06:39You don't look like the rest of these animals.
00:06:41Because nobody wants to go out with him.
00:06:43Why?
00:06:44Because he cracks up on his bike.
00:06:46Every time he gets up on his bike, he has an accident.
00:06:48Oh.
00:06:49Okay.
00:06:50Let me get you a pap.
00:07:03Hey.
00:07:10I'm Benny.
00:07:12Hello.
00:07:13Hello.
00:07:22Well, so what are we doing here?
00:07:23Just, uh, shooting the breeze?
00:07:29Yeah, I guess.
00:07:34Well, I gotta go home.
00:07:36Oh.
00:07:38Okay.
00:07:43Okay.
00:07:54You gotta go.
00:08:08What is this, a rotary buffet?
00:08:10What's your name?
00:08:11Kathy.
00:08:14Well, Kathy, uh, don't worry.
00:08:19Don't worry about what?
00:08:22Nothing.
00:08:24I'm Johnny, I'm the president of this club,
00:08:26and, uh, the guys, they just want to have some fun, you know?
00:08:34But I won't let nothing happen to you.
00:08:36Oh, yeah, what's gonna happen to me?
00:08:38Nothing.
00:08:39Ha-ha, okay, well, thanks for that, you know?
00:08:42Nice to meet ya.
00:08:43Adios, I gotta go.
00:08:51So I walk out the front door real nice,
00:08:54you know, being grabbed about five times.
00:08:56When I got outside, I could see all my slacks were just,
00:08:59just handprints all over me.
00:09:04So I'm standing on the bus corner thinking,
00:09:06Oh, my God, you know, something's gonna happen to me yet.
00:09:37Oh, my God.
00:09:47Oh, Jesus.
00:09:49Hey!
00:09:50Surprise!
00:09:51Surprise!
00:09:52Don't be scared!
00:09:53Surprise!
00:09:54Surprise!
00:09:57Okay, okay.
00:09:59Okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:10:00I'm not gonna hurt ya, bud.
00:10:01Okay.
00:10:02Yeah?
00:10:03Oh, my God.
00:10:04Don't be scared, yeah?
00:10:05Oh, this is gonna do it.
00:10:06Yeah?
00:10:08Whoa!
00:10:13Hey, wait, take off!
00:10:16Hey, see you on the expressway!
00:10:18So he's going through the stoplights and everything,
00:10:20probably so I wouldn't jump off,
00:10:22and I wouldn't have jumped off anyway, you know?
00:10:24I was scared shitless.
00:10:25I've never been on a motorcycle in all my life.
00:10:28And finally, we get out on the expressway,
00:10:30and that's when it happened, you know?
00:10:32That's when I saw him off for the first time, you know?
00:10:34It's really strong, I mean...
00:11:04I mean, I have to admit, it took my breath away.
00:11:35See, Kathy, I told you I had nothing to worry about.
00:11:38I just want to go out with you, that's all.
00:11:50Do you want a drink?
00:11:54But I didn't get home till nearly four in the morning.
00:11:57I swore I'd never go with them guys again, never.
00:11:59Because they're just like animals, you know?
00:12:01I mean, they didn't talk the same way I did.
00:12:03It was everything half this and half that.
00:12:05By the time the night was over, I mean, my ears were ringing
00:12:07from listening to them old braggers.
00:12:10So Benny brought me home, and my boyfriend,
00:12:12he was sitting on the front porch.
00:12:15All right, good night, adios.
00:12:19Where the hell have you been?
00:12:21I never want to see them guys again, they're real idiots.
00:12:31Where the hell have you been?
00:12:55Where the hell have you been?
00:13:23Where the hell have you been?
00:13:35Benny planted himself there all night and wouldn't go home.
00:13:47This is crazy.
00:13:49No, you better go home.
00:13:51If my boyfriend gets back from work and you're still sitting there,
00:13:53he's going to be pissed.
00:13:56This crazy kid.
00:13:57You're crazy.
00:14:12I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:14:34I called the police, I called the police.
00:14:36Well, you better go get rid of them.
00:14:39This is bullshit, man.
00:14:41Where are you going?
00:14:42I don't need this shit, you know?
00:14:44Don't need what?
00:14:45What do you want me to do?
00:14:47I'm done.
00:14:48Where are you going?
00:14:49I'm done.
00:15:07Where are you going?
00:15:36I'm going to meet him.
00:15:46Five weeks later, I married him.
00:15:56I'm going to meet him.
00:16:16I'm going to meet him.
00:16:36I'm going to meet him.
00:16:46I'm going to meet him.
00:16:56I'm going to meet him.
00:17:06I'm going to meet him.
00:17:16I'm going to meet him.
00:17:43It took several police cars and motorcycle units
00:17:46from Elmwood Park, Norwich, Erwitt Heights, and St. Charles
00:17:51to stop a motorcycle driver Thursday
00:17:53in a wild ride that ended amongst the farmland on Highway 64.
00:18:02Benjamin Cross of...
00:18:04Benjamin?
00:18:06Fancy.
00:18:07Benjamin Cross of Elmwood Park
00:18:10was arrested and charged with 18 traffic violations,
00:18:13but not before reportedly running through seven stoplights,
00:18:17hitting speeds over 85 miles an hour
00:18:20in two 20-mile-an-hour school zones,
00:18:23and causing damage to four municipal vehicles
00:18:26as a result of the pursuit.
00:18:28Cross is free on the $2,500 bond
00:18:31and will stand trial in Park Ridge Traffic Court
00:18:34on December 9th.
00:18:37How many stoplights did you hit?
00:18:40They said seven, so...
00:18:44So what?
00:18:46So I guess that's the number.
00:18:49But it felt like more.
00:18:53And Johnny always loved Benny.
00:18:56Why?
00:18:58Well, because Johnny always wanted what Benny had.
00:19:01And what's that?
00:19:02To not care about nothing.
00:19:04Hey!
00:19:05Dingy, tell them guys to get their bikes off the grass!
00:19:09Jeez.
00:19:11I mean, my ex-in-laws live right across the street.
00:19:14You know, to see these bikes here all the time...
00:19:16Hey, so tell me more about Johnny.
00:19:18Like what?
00:19:20I don't know, like how he started the club.
00:19:22You know how he started the club?
00:19:24I heard he was watching TV.
00:19:26You know, Johnny's not like the rest of these guys.
00:19:28You know, how they're all bums.
00:19:30I mean, he's not a square or nothing,
00:19:32but he's doing a very good job, you know?
00:19:34He's had the same job as long as I've known about him.
00:19:36What was that?
00:19:37Truck driver.
00:19:38He's a truck driver.
00:19:39You know, short roads, you know, like the Midwest.
00:19:41But I mean, he's got a family.
00:19:43Right.
00:19:44Yeah.
00:19:45Two daughters, his wife, Betty.
00:19:46She's all right, you know?
00:19:48I mean, a lot of these girls,
00:19:49whew, I can't stand to be around,
00:19:51because it's always, you know,
00:19:52that's my man, don't be looking at my man, you know?
00:19:56But Betty, she's not like that.
00:19:58Johnny was watching TV.
00:20:01He was watching Marlon Brando on TV
00:20:04and got the idea for the club.
00:20:06I mean, that's what I heard, anyway.
00:20:08Girls.
00:20:09Girls.
00:20:10Yeah.
00:20:13Black Rebels Motorcycle Club.
00:20:15Isn't that cute?
00:20:17Hey, Johnny, what are you rebelling against?
00:20:19What do you got?
00:20:22What do you got?
00:20:24What?
00:20:28No, but really, how the club started was,
00:20:30it was a racing club.
00:20:51I've never seen Johnny race,
00:20:53but they say he was good.
00:20:54You know, him and Jimmy Goodpaster
00:20:56had a racing club.
00:20:58Goodpaster?
00:20:59Yeah.
00:21:00You know him.
00:21:01He's got that BSA shop out past Hyde Park.
00:21:04Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, mustache.
00:21:06What?
00:21:07He's got a thin mustache.
00:21:08Yeah, yeah, well, they had a racing club together.
00:21:11I'm thinking of starting a riding club.
00:21:13Why?
00:21:15I don't know.
00:21:16There's something to do, you know?
00:21:18What the fuck do you want to start a riding club for?
00:21:20All those clubs do is sit around
00:21:21talking about motorcycles.
00:21:24That's what we do.
00:21:25Yeah, we talk about them,
00:21:27and then we race them.
00:21:28What the fuck could you do to talk about them
00:21:30if you ain't good at racing?
00:21:31So they split up,
00:21:32and about 12 guys joined up to be vandals.
00:21:35They were the first, you know,
00:21:36so that's where the guys,
00:21:37the first guys at least,
00:21:39that's where the first guys come from,
00:21:41was the racing club.
00:21:42Yeah, and who all was that?
00:21:45Well, it was Wahoo and Corky.
00:21:46I know that.
00:21:48My name's Wahoo.
00:21:50I ride a Hartley Dual Glider
00:21:52from Chicago, Illinois.
00:21:54I've been a vandal for about five years now.
00:21:57They call me Corky.
00:21:59I ride Wahoo's old lady.
00:22:00Oh, the fuck you do?
00:22:01What the fuck?
00:22:03She doesn't.
00:22:05When Brucie was one of them,
00:22:06he was Johnny's right hand from the beginning.
00:22:08He was an electrician.
00:22:09Well, everyone wants to be part of something.
00:22:13I mean, that's what it really is.
00:22:16These guys don't belong nowhere else,
00:22:17so they belong together, you know?
00:22:21I can't explain it to my parents.
00:22:23They don't understand the way I live.
00:22:26Because bike riders,
00:22:30a lot of people seem to think
00:22:31that bikes lead to something negative.
00:22:35That's why they think guys ride them.
00:22:37They think it leads to something obscene.
00:22:39I don't know why, but, uh,
00:22:42but obscenity and motorcycles travel hand in hand.
00:22:46That's what everybody thinks anyway.
00:22:48Why?
00:22:50I guess, uh,
00:22:52everybody needs somebody to pick on.
00:22:56Can you think of anyone better than us?
00:22:58Mama, mama, mama, talk to your daughter for me.
00:23:01Raquel from California.
00:23:02I look at a scooter, man,
00:23:04that's completely chopped, man,
00:23:07and every part on it,
00:23:08he either made himself, man,
00:23:10or were bought special for it, you know?
00:23:12You look at that dude, man.
00:23:14That dude's a vandal, you see?
00:23:16Let's say you, uh,
00:23:17let's say you take a guy
00:23:18that buys a brand-new Harley Davidson,
00:23:21fully equipped, you know?
00:23:24There'll always be a motherfucker
00:23:27that comes along and says,
00:23:28well, I got one exactly like yours.
00:23:32Because he can get it exactly like his.
00:23:35But all choppers are different.
00:23:37Every one of them is different,
00:23:38no matter how much you like you build them.
00:23:41You know what I mean?
00:23:42Because everybody's melon is different.
00:23:44When I was about 15 years old,
00:23:47my father brought me an Indian 4-cylinder.
00:23:51Motorcycle.
00:23:53I like to be dirty.
00:23:55I'll go out of my way to put filth on my clothes,
00:23:58dirt on my pants, dirt on my face,
00:24:00mess up my hair,
00:24:02and eat bugs.
00:24:03A bug isn't really bad to eat,
00:24:05it's all in a person's mind.
00:24:07Now, if you will eat a raw beef sandwich
00:24:09or you will eat a rare steak,
00:24:11a bug won't hurt you anymore.
00:24:13And what about Zipco?
00:24:15And what about Zipco?
00:24:16You know anything about him?
00:24:18Oh, he was from Latvia.
00:24:19Right.
00:24:20Do you know when he joined the club?
00:24:23Zipco?
00:24:24I mean, I don't know.
00:24:25He's just always been there.
00:24:30What?
00:24:35I never understood it, you know?
00:24:36You get all these guys,
00:24:37none of them can follow a rule to save their lives,
00:24:40you know?
00:24:41The whole point of these guys
00:24:42is that they can't follow rules, you know?
00:24:44You put them together and they get in this club
00:24:46and all of a sudden,
00:24:47they start making up all these rules
00:24:48for everybody to follow.
00:24:49It's ridiculous.
00:24:50I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous, you know?
00:24:52But this one time,
00:24:53someone challenged Johnny
00:24:54for the leadership of the club, you know?
00:24:56It's one of these crazy rules
00:24:58is that anybody can challenge Johnny
00:25:00if they really want to,
00:25:01but of course, you know,
00:25:02none of them want to
00:25:03because they're all bums, you know,
00:25:04and none of them want the responsibility.
00:25:06But this one time, this guy Jack, big guy,
00:25:08I mean, real big guy,
00:25:09I mean, you know, Big Jack, they call him.
00:25:11Fat Jack.
00:25:12What?
00:25:13Wasn't it Fat Jack?
00:25:14No.
00:25:15He was the one at Toledo.
00:25:16This guy was, uh,
00:25:17well, I don't know.
00:25:18Anyway, this big fat Jack guy says...
00:25:20Hey, I got a question.
00:25:21Wait your turn.
00:25:22Let me finish.
00:25:25Now, we're gonna get the phone installed
00:25:27behind the bar there,
00:25:29but Johnny has to put that on his personal account.
00:25:32Why's he gotta do that?
00:25:33I don't...
00:25:34Because that's the way the phone company
00:25:35has to set it up.
00:25:36Clubs should pay for it out of the dues.
00:25:38Yeah.
00:25:39That way we can use it how we want.
00:25:40It doesn't work like that.
00:25:41Then why not?
00:25:42Shut up a minute.
00:25:43Shut the fuck up!
00:25:46Now listen.
00:25:48We need a phone back there
00:25:49in case anybody gets in trouble.
00:25:51All right?
00:25:52Now, you get thrown in jail,
00:25:53or you need bail,
00:25:54you call here.
00:25:56You get stuck out someplace on your bike,
00:25:58you call here.
00:26:00But,
00:26:01the first time we get a bill
00:26:03where you've been calling
00:26:04your fat fucking girlfriend out
00:26:06and he's what the fuck,
00:26:08we're gonna take that phone
00:26:10and we're gonna put knots on your head with it.
00:26:12Understand?
00:26:13Yeah, but I got a question.
00:26:15I got some friends in Milwaukee.
00:26:17They like what we're doing out here
00:26:18and asked if they could join up.
00:26:20Start a vandals chapter out there.
00:26:24No.
00:26:26Why not?
00:26:31What the fuck we in for?
00:26:33This is our club.
00:26:35I mean, we, uh,
00:26:37in this town here.
00:26:39We're all friends here.
00:26:42I don't know these guys.
00:26:44You know them.
00:26:46We drank with them on that last run to Columbus.
00:26:50Oh.
00:26:53I say no.
00:26:59Well,
00:27:00I say we let them start a chapter.
00:27:03Hey, you said if any of us disagrees with you,
00:27:05we could challenge you, so?
00:27:08So what?
00:27:12So, I guess I'm challenging you.
00:27:14Go fuck yourself.
00:27:24Fists?
00:27:28Or knives?
00:27:33Well, I don't want to kill you.
00:27:36So, wait.
00:27:37Fists?
00:27:40Yeah?
00:27:41Yeah.
00:27:45It was a picnic.
00:27:46A big family picnic.
00:27:47All right.
00:27:49I remember because it was cold that day.
00:27:52The kids were running around.
00:27:53Guys were getting stoned.
00:27:55Wives and girlfriends all over the place, you know?
00:27:57And they caught a track out there.
00:28:03They'd spend all day drinking and running their bikes on that track
00:28:06all frickin' day long, you know?
00:28:09By the end of the day, the place was like one big mud pit,
00:28:12and that's where they did it.
00:28:34I mean, the thing about Johnny,
00:28:36he wasn't always bigger than the other guys,
00:28:38but he was always meaner.
00:28:48Aaaaaah!
00:28:49Aaaaaah!
00:28:57You all right?
00:28:58Yeah.
00:28:59You all right?
00:29:00Yeah.
00:29:02You okay?
00:29:03You broke my damn finger.
00:29:05Hey, we done.
00:29:08Hey.
00:29:09Hey, you tell your friends in Milwaukee
00:29:11that they can have their chapter, all right?
00:29:13You tell them Johnny said so.
00:29:17You all right?
00:29:21If you were gonna let him have a chapter,
00:29:23why'd you go through the trouble of fighting?
00:29:26Anybody who's gonna have the idea is gonna be me, right?
00:29:29Now I knows it.
00:29:31You good?
00:29:32Yeah, I never felt my fingers that big.
00:29:34After that, the club started growing,
00:29:36and it got real big, real fast.
00:29:38And it got real big, real fast.
00:29:52Gooooooooood morning.
00:29:59Morning.
00:30:03The chapter started poppin' up all over the place, you know?
00:30:06You know, other clubs started asking to join up.
00:30:11Everything's gonna be alright this morning
00:30:17Oh yeah
00:30:29Now when I was a young boy
00:30:32At the age of five
00:30:34My mother said I was gonna be
00:30:37A great entertainer like
00:30:40But now I'm a man
00:30:42I pass...

00:32:59Look at these motherfuckers
00:33:04That's like my brother, you know, my brother?
00:33:07Me and my brother, we swing the same way,
00:33:09but the only thing is, he's a pinko.
00:33:12There's something in his head that's wrong, you know?
00:33:15But when he gets drunk, he's just like me.
00:33:17Otherwise, he thinks different.
00:33:19What do you mean by he's a pinko?
00:33:22Ain't you supposed to be taking pictures?
00:33:25Yeah.
00:33:26So what, you got the microphone for all the time, then?
00:33:30I don't know.
00:33:32I was thinking I could record people talking, maybe.
00:33:35Use it with the pictures, make a book or something, maybe.
00:33:38A book?
00:33:40Yeah, maybe.
00:33:42So what do you mean by he's a pinko?
00:33:45Pinko, uh, you know, college boy.
00:33:49They wear tennis shoes and short pants,
00:33:51you know, shit like that.
00:33:53What's your brother do?
00:33:54He's in the Air Force.
00:33:56Going to Thailand next November, Air Force mechanic.
00:34:00They took him.
00:34:01They wouldn't take me, you know?
00:34:03They took him because he's a clean-cut, all-American boy.
00:34:07You know, short pants and tennis shoes.
00:34:09I can't take this.
00:34:11I told my brother he went to college one year.
00:34:14I said, fucker, you don't quit that college,
00:34:18I'm going to beat the shit out of you.
00:34:20And he quit because I told him
00:34:23I don't want no goddamn pinkos in my family
00:34:26because I can't stand that shit, you know?
00:34:28Because if you can't work with your fucking hands,
00:34:30you ain't no fucking good.
00:34:32Hey, stupid.
00:34:35Yeah, you, you tall fuck.
00:34:37Oh.

00:34:40You scratched my bike.

00:34:50Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:34:54What do you do?
00:34:56I study photography in college.
00:35:03Why'd you scratch my bike?
00:35:05I didn't scratch your fucking scooter, man.
00:35:07Well, I walk off, there's no scratch.
00:35:09I see you here.
00:35:11Now, all of a sudden, there's a scratch.
00:35:13Scratch.
00:35:14What's going on?
00:35:16Man, I was looking at this guy's carburetors.
00:35:19He's got Jaguar carburetors,
00:35:21you know, big Italian carburetors.
00:35:23Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:35:24And now he says I scratched his bike.
00:35:26Whoa.

00:41:19Ah!
00:41:20Ah!
00:41:21Ah!
00:41:22Ah!
00:41:23Ah!
00:41:24Ah!
00:41:25Ah!
00:41:26Ah!
00:41:27Ah!
00:41:28Ah!
00:41:29Ah!
00:41:30Ah!
00:41:31Ah!
00:41:32Ah!
00:41:33Ah!
00:41:34Ah!
00:41:35Ah!
00:41:36Ah!
00:41:37Ah!
00:41:38Ah!
00:41:39Ah!
00:41:40You know, my dad always told me it takes a lot to make a man cry, an awful lot, you know.
00:41:47I mean, they don't get hit on the head and start crying. Not a real man.
00:41:52I've seen my father cry twice in all my life.
00:41:57Once when his father died and once when my mother almost died.
00:42:01And I mean really cry, you know. And I always believed him.
00:42:04Where's Benny? I've seen him getting worked over with blackjacks.
00:42:09I've seen him getting stitched up with no nothing, you know.
00:42:12I mean, it's just like stitching him up while he's wide awake and everything else.
00:42:16You don't see that guy shed a tear.
00:42:19The closest I ever seen him come to it was that day.
00:42:24Not for the pain or nothing, no. You know what it was?
00:42:35Don't let him take my foot.
00:42:39All right, you don't let him take my foot off.
00:42:44They take my foot off and I can't ride no more.
00:42:49That was it.
00:42:52He didn't want to lose his foot because then he couldn't ride no more.
00:42:56Never mind that he got a concussion and this maniac nearly chopped his foot off for not taking his collars off.
00:43:01No, never mind that he... He wasn't even supposed to be riding
00:43:04because his license had been suspended from that one time the cops chased him all over.
00:43:09No, no, no, no.
00:43:12I mean, all he could think about was riding a stupid motorcycle.
00:43:15I tell you, you know, it'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
00:43:19And what about Johnny?
00:43:24Oh, Johnny.
00:43:27Johnny went crazy.
00:43:31He's in a bad way. He's in a hospital.
00:43:34Two guys jumped him over his collars.
00:43:38They nearly chopped his foot off.
00:43:47Well...
00:43:50I'll be excited.
00:44:00I'll be excited.
00:44:30I'll be excited.
00:44:48I don't want any trouble here.
00:44:54Well, um...
00:44:57Young kid get beat up in here earlier today.
00:45:01You know, you know who did it.
00:45:09A couple of regulars.
00:45:12A couple of regulars.
00:45:15All right.
00:45:18Take that pencil.
00:45:21Write their names down where they live.
00:45:24Then I'll let you leave.
00:45:29This is my bar. I own it.
00:45:54I don't know.
00:46:12Send a few guys. Make it so they can't walk no more.
00:46:19What about the bar?
00:46:22What about the bar?
00:46:52We gotta go.
00:47:23Nah, we don't.
00:47:28They're scared of us.
00:47:37I think it terrified him.
00:47:42You know, that's a lot of power for one guy to have.
00:47:46You know, to be in charge of all of that.
00:47:49I mean, that can really mess with your noodle. Cream?
00:47:52No.
00:47:59Well, Danny was bad off.
00:48:04You know, I had him in a motel for three weeks.
00:48:07I mean, he couldn't walk, so I got him a place with no stairs.
00:48:10This is my husband. This is...
00:48:13There.
00:48:16You were just having a drink. Would you care for a cocktail?
00:48:19I'd like a very dry martini.
00:48:22Italian vermouth, Spanish gin, and a Greek olive.
00:48:25Well, I don't think we have any...
00:48:27Oh, don't bother. I'll fix it myself.
00:48:40Hey, Kathy.
00:48:44Hey, look at you. All propped up.
00:48:47Like the queen.
00:48:51Yeah, you look good. You're looking all right.
00:48:53The guys thought you might really be out of it.
00:48:55He is out of it. He can't walk.
00:48:58What are the surgeons saying?
00:49:00They, uh, cut through a tendon.
00:49:02Oh, Jesus.
00:49:07Something like that.
00:49:09I'm gonna go get some ice.
00:49:11So how long they keep you in the hospital for?
00:49:29Guys, we'd love to see you out there.
00:49:31Hey, it's gonna be a big one. Maybe the biggest one yet.
00:49:34The biggest what?
00:49:36The picnic. Johnny's saying they're going all out for the Dayton run.
00:49:39Oh.
00:49:41How long is that? Three weeks?
00:49:43Yeah.
00:49:44I mean, I'll still be in the cast by then, but...
00:49:46Cast?
00:49:47No, you should put your left foot.
00:49:49You can always use your front brake if you can't put no pressure on it.
00:49:53And all the guys.
00:50:02You want a drink, Johnny?
00:50:04I'm good.
00:50:06The guys would love to see you out there.
00:50:09They're real worried about you.
00:50:12I'll be there.
00:50:14All right.
00:50:16I'll get out of here.
00:50:18Now, you rest.
00:50:20Here.
00:50:22Got to eat.
00:50:36You wouldn't really try riding after three weeks, would you?
00:50:39The doctor said three to four months with no weight on it.
00:50:42I don't know. Turn up the TV, would you?
00:50:47I don't want you riding.
00:50:51Yeah, it scares me, especially soon after surgery.
00:50:53I don't like it.
00:50:57You don't like it?
00:50:58Oh, get worried.
00:51:06I should just go.
00:51:09I'm just going to leave.
00:51:11What?
00:51:12No, it's better. You'd be better off...
00:51:14Stop. Stop it.
00:51:15...not having to take care of me, worry about me.
00:51:18No.
00:51:22When I heal up, I'll leave.
00:51:36All right.
00:51:57I don't want you to go.
00:52:07I'm going off into this, uh, ice plant.
00:52:11I don't know if you know what ice plant is.
00:52:13But if you're ever in California, stop and look.
00:52:15Hey, Cassie.
00:52:17Hey, Brucie. How's Gail?
00:52:19She's good.
00:52:20She's got a job doing nails in Oak Park.
00:52:22I'll go see her.
00:52:23Uh, Johnny, can we talk?
00:52:25Yeah, sure.
00:52:27I don't know what you're talking about.
00:52:29I don't know what you're talking about.
00:52:31I don't know what you're talking about.
00:52:33I don't know what you're talking about.
00:52:34I'll go see her.
00:52:35Uh, Johnny, can we talk?
00:52:41Oh, you always got to have these guys around to hear everything?
00:52:44I always stand to hear.
00:52:45Some things.
00:52:47Oh.
00:52:57You need something, Cassie?
00:52:59You know exactly who I'm talking about, Benny.
00:53:01You can't have him.
00:53:02The club can't have him.
00:53:03He's mine.
00:53:05You know, and if he keeps riding motorcycles,
00:53:07he's going to die one way or another.
00:53:08It'll kill him.
00:53:09And you know this is true.
00:53:11What am I supposed to do about it?
00:53:12You know I don't want Benny just like you don't want Benny.
00:53:16Ain't nobody can tell that kid nothing.
00:53:18He's grown.
00:53:21He wants to ride a bike.
00:53:24You'll see.
00:53:26He wants to ride a bike.
00:53:28You'll ride a bike.
00:53:29Not if you tell him, Johnny.
00:53:30Not if you tell him he's out of the club.
00:53:32Come on.
00:53:33No, he's mine, Johnny, mine.
00:53:34I'm his wife, not you.
00:53:35What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
00:53:37Well, I know you love him.
00:53:38I love him, too.
00:53:39That's why you got to do this.
00:53:48Are you done?
00:53:51I don't know.
00:53:52Am I?
00:53:53No, you got nothing more to say.
00:53:54No, I said it.
00:53:55Then, you know, you're done.
00:54:11You can't have him.
00:54:25Shut that fucking mouth of yours for good.
00:54:37If you did it'd be the first thing you ever finish.
00:54:39Quit the racket.
00:54:39I'm sick of that mouth on you.
00:54:41Always acting like you're so fucking tough.
00:54:44If it wasn't for my bad back, I'd have killed you right now.
00:54:48My back, my back.
00:54:49I said to quit the racket.
00:54:51Come here.
00:54:51I'm going to put that belt on you.
00:54:54I said quit the racket, you.
00:55:01Huh?
00:55:02I told you, didn't I?
00:55:03Quit it.
00:55:04Quit it.
00:55:06Come here.
00:55:08Come here.
00:55:10Stop.
00:55:11Stop it.
00:55:12Stop it.
00:55:13You're going to kill him.
00:55:15Stop it.
00:55:16Stop it.
00:55:20I want you out of here.
00:55:22Don't you ever come back here.
00:55:24Don't you ever.
00:55:36I'm sorry.
00:55:38I'm sorry.
00:55:49Who's coming?
00:55:52Who's coming?
00:56:22All right.
00:56:27Hey.
00:56:28Hey.
00:56:29Hey, come on.
00:56:30Come on.
00:56:31You a vandal?
00:56:33That's right.
00:56:34Well, me and my guys, you know, we're looking to join up.
00:56:37You want to join?
00:56:38Uh-huh.
00:56:39You got to talk to the man.
00:56:41Oh, yeah?
00:56:42Who's the man?
00:56:44Who's the man?
00:56:45Come on.
00:56:51This man.
00:56:55Come on.
00:56:59Hey, look at this guy.
00:57:01Hey, welcome back.
00:57:02Wow.
00:57:03Wow.
00:57:04You rode in all the way on that?
00:57:05Strapped it to the bike.
00:57:06He needs it because his leg is broke.
00:57:08Hey, buddy.
00:57:09Hey, Kathy.
00:57:10I need a drink.
00:57:11So, uh, what's it like riding on the old foot?
00:57:15I don't know.
00:57:32Hey, man.
00:57:34Somebody told me you're the guy I need to talk to.
00:57:38Maybe.
00:57:40Blew out here from California.
00:57:42Heard there was a big picnic.
00:57:43Wanted to check it out.
00:57:45But you're the man in charge.
00:57:48I'm Sonny.
00:57:50Just hoping maybe to get a little food, a little drink.
00:57:55Camp out for a night or two.
00:57:58Want to show a little class, contribute to the party.
00:58:02Help yourself.
00:58:04This here's Brucie.
00:58:05This, uh, Benny right there with the boot.
00:58:08And I'm Johnny.
00:58:10We're the vandals.
00:58:12Well, it's nice to meet some proper fuck-ups.
00:58:38Vandals, motherfuckers!
00:58:41I always wondered what riders out in California looked like.
00:58:45Can you imagine a thousand of those fucking guys?
00:58:48Going home.
00:58:50I'm going home.
00:58:52Yeah, I'm going home.
00:59:00They always pegged me for stupid.
00:59:03Man, I couldn't read a fucking comic book until I was in the army.
00:59:07What comic book?
00:59:09I was born in Canada, man.
00:59:12I went up to the fourth grade, man, in school.
00:59:15All French, no English.
00:59:17And I was always hassling it, just trying to learn the goddamn language.
00:59:20You were in the army?
00:59:22Yeah.
00:59:23I got an undesirable discharge in there because I was always salty.
00:59:28I wanted to be in the army.
00:59:30I always wanted to go over to Vietnam.
00:59:34I went to the draft board to get in.
00:59:38They had this big party at the seaway there.
00:59:42I went the night before.
00:59:44I get home about four.
00:59:49My ma comes home.
00:59:52You ain't going yet?
00:59:55You ain't going yet?
00:59:57My alarm clock's ringing.
00:59:59I'm still conked out and my fucking beard's full of wine.
01:00:03And my ma, she takes me in a taxi cab.
01:00:06She drives me over there and she throws me in there.
01:00:10They go from station to station.
01:00:13We sit there and I keep falling asleep.
01:00:20Well, hey, I passed all the fucking tests, man.
01:00:24And the guy says, hey, you plunked your fizzle.
01:00:26I said, what the fuck?
01:00:28What, my ears?
01:00:30My ears?
01:00:32I couldn't hear or what?
01:00:34He said, no, your psychiatrist plunked you.
01:00:40That doctor's a fucking genius.
01:00:42Yeah, I smell like a fucking distillery, wined up.
01:00:46But I give him good answers, you know?
01:00:49So he says, you passed everything.
01:00:53Except he says, you are an undesirable character.
01:01:00He says, I don't want you.
01:01:03I says, I want to go, you know?
01:01:06And I cussed that fucker out that told me that.
01:01:08I said, you goddamn motherfucking bastard cocksucker.
01:01:16I walked out of there.
01:01:18I was crying, man.
01:01:21I wanted to go.
01:01:24There's pinkos burning their draft cards.
01:01:26They that want to go, they won't take.
01:01:28Boy, that pissed me off.
01:01:40It means a lot, you coming out here all banged up like that.
01:01:46I've been thinking.
01:01:49I can't run this club forever.
01:01:51I'm going to have to find somebody to take it over.
01:01:59What about Brucie?
01:02:01Brucie?
01:02:03Yeah, you know, I love Brucie like a brother, you know.
01:02:06But it ain't Brucie, no.
01:02:08Brucie will get eaten alive by these guys.
01:02:11It's got to be somebody that...
01:02:15that they respect.
01:02:18It's got to be somebody that ain't going to take no shit off of them.
01:02:23It's you.
01:02:29Come on.
01:02:41Look.
01:02:43I built this club out of nothing.
01:02:45I built it.
01:02:47I put more into this fucking club than I own.
01:02:50I put more into this fucking club than my own family.
01:02:53This is my family.
01:02:55I don't know how many fucking chapters we got now.
01:02:58We got little guys.
01:03:01We got young guys.
01:03:03I don't even know some of them.
01:03:05But the guys I do know, they ain't going to follow nobody
01:03:08except somebody who can hold their own.
01:03:12Look at me.
01:03:14I'm all fucked up.
01:03:17I can't even pay the fucking dues.
01:03:19Yeah, what the fuck to do?
01:03:26You're a grown-up, man.
01:03:30You got a house, you got a job.
01:03:33I don't want that.
01:03:35I don't care about none of that.
01:03:44That's why it's you.
01:03:47Huh?
01:03:49You.
01:03:51All these guys, they're all trying to be.
01:03:56You see?
01:04:06It's yours.
01:04:16It's yours.
01:04:25Hey, man.
01:04:27Just think it over, you know?
01:04:46Sonny, you, uh...
01:04:49You ride in California, right?
01:04:51Your club's out there?
01:04:53Mm-hmm.
01:04:55So why the hell are you way out here?
01:05:00I came here for him.
01:05:03He didn't turn in his colors.
01:05:06We heard he was riding with another club.
01:05:11So they brought me out here to fuck him up.
01:05:17So are you...
01:05:19Are you gonna fuck him up?
01:05:26Nah.
01:05:28I like you guys.
01:05:30I'm hoping to trip with you for a while.
01:05:46What the fuck happened here?
01:05:50Well, I think this funny Sonny just, uh...
01:05:54Just made Cal shit his pants.
01:06:00Look at his face.
01:06:05Fuck, man. Goddamn.
01:06:08I smell something.
01:06:10That's all I'm saying.
01:06:16I mean, it's...
01:06:18I understand. He's a scary guy.
01:06:31The only thing is, I thought I could change him, you know?
01:06:36Oh, jeez.
01:06:38I mean, every woman thinks that she can change a guy.
01:06:41Not to her own ways, but to be different, you know?
01:06:44Not to be different, but to be...
01:06:46I don't know, like he's wild.
01:06:49I thought he'd get over that, but...
01:06:54But Benny always talks about leaving.
01:06:57Sometimes I wish he would, you know?
01:06:59Because every time he gets into trouble, the first thing he'll say to me is, well...
01:07:03I'm gonna leave. And I think he just says this to me, so I say to him, you know?
01:07:07Don't go. Don't go.
01:07:09But it's getting aware. If he'd just go...
01:07:11Not tell me about it, but just pick up and go.
01:07:13It doesn't hurt so bad, you know?
01:07:15I mean, I've got feelings.
01:07:18Because Benny has no feelings. I don't know where he gets it.
01:07:22From what I hear, even when his father died, he showed no feelings.
01:07:26Said he's better off dead.
01:07:28I mean, Benny thinks that when you die, you're better off than when you're living, you know?
01:07:31Like, when his dad died, he said, it's just as well.
01:07:34He's better off that way.
01:07:36I mean, when Brucie got killed, he's better off that way.
01:07:40No feelings.
01:07:43Brucie, I mean, I think ever since Brucie died, things with the club have changed, you know?
01:07:47Don't you?
01:07:54I mean, I miss Brucie.
01:07:56I miss him.
01:08:07Nothing. Just pow. That's it.
01:08:11I mean, that's how it is, you know?
01:08:13There's always that one.
01:08:16You know, there's always that one that gets you.
01:08:18It's the one that comes out. That one that comes out of nowhere.
01:08:21That's the one that will get you.
01:08:23The one that comes out of nowhere.
01:08:31Hey, Johnny.
01:08:33Yeah?
01:08:35We just got a call.
01:08:37What?
01:08:40It's the funeral home.
01:08:42They won't take the flowers.
01:08:45What?
01:08:46They won't take the flowers you sent over there.
01:08:48It says the family don't want them.
01:08:54Well, fuck it. Send them anyway, you know?
01:08:57They can eat them if they don't want to take them.
01:08:59Okay.
01:09:02Wait.
01:09:04Get the guys together.
01:09:06Okay.
01:09:08We'll take them ourselves.
01:09:24Sit here thinking
01:09:28Thinking about the happy time we used to have
01:09:33Now they're gone forever
01:09:36I still have to wait for them to turn around
01:09:40I'll never learn
01:09:43I'll never learn my favor
01:09:47I'll never learn my favor
01:10:09Get out of here.
01:10:13I'll never learn
01:10:17I'll never learn my favor
01:10:22You guys remember Teddy Singer?
01:10:24Yeah.
01:10:28Teddy Singer died on the way back from the blessing on St. Christopher's Day.
01:10:34Yeah, he swerved and hit a parked car near the rock quarry.
01:10:39Good guy.
01:10:42He used to ride that beautiful knucklehead.
01:10:48All chrome, nothing but chrome.
01:10:51His dad made special things for him
01:10:54because his dad was a tooling guy maker.
01:11:01After Teddy died, I did offer his dad to buy the bike
01:11:05because, you know, it's beautiful.
01:11:09I offered him good money too, you know, but he wouldn't sell it.
01:11:20You see?
01:11:23He wouldn't sell it.
01:11:26He didn't even ride it.
01:11:29He kept the bike
01:11:32in his basement.
01:11:35Right?
01:11:39You understand?
01:11:43Yeah.
01:11:48Yeah.
01:12:02Fuck it. Fuck it.
01:12:09Fuck it.
01:12:27You know, that's how I want to die.
01:12:29Abso-fucking-lutely.
01:12:31My mother, she says to me,
01:12:34she says, well, you've had wrecks, you've seen people die.
01:12:38You've seen both your cousins die on bikes.
01:12:40You're going to kill yourself.
01:12:42But that's the way I want to die.
01:12:45And when I die, I want to die on a bike.
01:12:48Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up.
01:12:52Johnny.
01:12:55Hey, did he say that you were the one he talked to about joining up?
01:13:00Yeah.
01:13:08Oh, no.
01:13:10No, we don't, uh...
01:13:12We don't take kids.
01:13:14I ain't a kid. I'm 20.
01:13:16Come on. Get out of here.
01:13:19You should come look at our bikes. We chopped them ourselves.
01:13:22Okay.
01:13:30Come look at our bikes.
01:13:47Let's see these pieces of shit.
01:13:49Okay.
01:14:00Oh, my God.
01:14:02These are pieces of shit.
01:14:04So we, uh, we scrapped all the pieces ourselves, you know.
01:14:08I mean, we didn't have nothing, but we did it.
01:14:10You know, we did all the work.
01:14:15There you go.
01:14:18What do you call yourselves?
01:14:20The Renegades.
01:14:23We've been riding since we were kids.
01:14:27Look, we'll do whatever we got to do, all right?
01:14:30If you want us to rob someone, we'll rob them.
01:14:33You know, if you want us to fight someone, we'll kill them.
01:14:36All we want to do, we want to ride with you.
01:14:42You run this pretty bad, huh, kid?
01:14:44Yeah.
01:14:51I bet if I offered you to run this whole club,
01:14:53you'd take it in a heartbeat, right?
01:14:56What?
01:15:00Nothing.
01:15:03Uh...
01:15:07Yeah.
01:15:09You're in.
01:15:15But just you.
01:15:19You got to leave your friends behind.
01:15:25Fine.
01:15:29No, no, no, no.
01:15:31No.
01:15:36No.
01:15:38Get the fuck out of here.
01:15:41What kind of piece of shit are you?
01:15:43Hey, leave your friends behind?
01:15:46Hey, babe?
01:15:50No.
01:15:53No.
01:15:55Get the fuck out of here.
01:15:57I don't want to see you out here ever again.
01:16:02Johnny!
01:16:03Hey, hey!
01:16:04Johnny, hey, hey, hey, hey!
01:16:11All right, clean this piece of shit up and get out of here.
01:16:18Jesus fucking Christ.
01:16:23Cunts.
01:16:27But you left.
01:16:29What?
01:16:31You left before things really got bad.
01:16:34I guess it was 69, so, uh...
01:16:38So, yeah, I was done with school,
01:16:40and I just packed and left for New York.
01:16:43That's why I wanted to talk.
01:16:45I wanted to know what happened to the guys.
01:16:48What happened to the club.
01:16:51You know, a year or so after Brucey died,
01:16:53after you left, things with the club really changed.
01:16:56They just got...
01:16:59You know, in the club, it's split.
01:17:01It's split between the old guys and the new guys,
01:17:04between the beer drinkers and the pot smokers.
01:17:08And those rules.
01:17:10It's just a bunch of made-up stuff,
01:17:12but these new guys really believed them.
01:17:14It was like it was all written in stone or something.
01:17:17There's a guy who used to ride with us.
01:17:20Took photos.
01:17:22He says he's gonna make a book.
01:17:26So I says, then...
01:17:29All I ever want is to be photographed
01:17:31dressed up like a barbarian.
01:17:33Like a real barbarian, you know,
01:17:35with fur and an axe or some shit.
01:17:47There I am.
01:17:53And I'm not happy.
01:17:56So this guy's hassling me, man.
01:17:59Hey, funny.
01:18:01Stop hogging the booze, man.
01:18:05So this... I'm like...
01:18:07Listen, man, I'm warning you.
01:18:09One step closer, and I'm gonna...
01:18:13Boy, look at that dress.
01:18:15I bet I'd look good in that dress.
01:18:18Yeah, I bet you would, guy.
01:18:29You got all these new guys.
01:18:30Half of them are coming back from Vietnam.
01:18:32They're the pot smokers,
01:18:33and they're different, these young ones.
01:18:35I mean, smoking pot, sure,
01:18:37but they do other stuff, too, drugs.
01:18:39You know, like hard stuff, and they're crazy.
01:18:41I got him laid out on the floor, right?
01:18:44I put this right up to the back of his head.
01:18:46He says, why don't you let me go?
01:18:48I said, you ain't going nowhere, motherfucker.
01:18:51I captured you.
01:18:53You go when I say you can go.
01:18:57You hear what they did to Cockroach?
01:19:00What'd you say?
01:19:02A motorcycle cop.
01:19:04I always wanted to be a motorcycle cop.
01:19:07That's why I gotta...
01:19:10give my colors back.
01:19:13You say you're quitting?
01:19:15Yeah.
01:19:17Hey, boy, what better job, huh?
01:19:20I say what better job is there
01:19:22than to get paid to sit on a Harley Davidson all day long?
01:19:26I already told her she's got to call a lawyer.
01:19:29I don't think she'll do it.
01:19:30I told her that last week.
01:19:33Here.
01:19:35Where'd you get that?
01:19:37That girl, she wants you to have it.
01:19:39Sonny, what the heck is she wearing?
01:19:41She took some fellas upstairs. She don't need it.
01:19:43Don't worry. They're having a good time.
01:19:44She said she wants you to have it.
01:19:46She did, huh?
01:19:48Try it on.
01:19:55Come on!
01:19:58Boy, like Santa Claus.
01:20:03Where are they from?
01:20:05Columbus.
01:20:07All you new fucking guys.
01:20:09Yeah, I can't keep up.
01:20:12I gotta... I gotta take a piss.
01:20:32Fuck!
01:20:43Motherfucker!
01:20:45Motherfucker!
01:20:51Yeah!
01:20:57It's real pretty.
01:20:59You're a good guy.
01:21:02It's good.
01:21:04Fanny, come here.
01:21:06Fuck!
01:21:30What's going on?
01:21:33Oh, shit.
01:21:35This boy fucked him up good.
01:21:37You see who did it?
01:21:39No. All right, let's get him loaded in a car.
01:21:41You two, you take him to a hospital.
01:21:43Okay.
01:21:45Come on. Up you get.
01:22:03Where you going?
01:22:05Let go. Let go.
01:22:07Stop!
01:22:09We got you. Don't worry. We'll take care of you.
01:22:11Stop!
01:22:13No!
01:22:15We got you.
01:22:17No!
01:22:23Goddamn, girl.
01:22:25Fanny! Fanny, no!
01:22:27Hey, hey, hey!
01:22:30No!
01:22:32Fanny! Fanny, no!
01:22:34What the fuck are you doing?
01:22:36All right, we're just getting our wings.
01:22:40Come on, man. They said the girl in the red dress was ready to go.
01:22:43We're just getting ours.
01:22:45They said the girl in the red dress.
01:22:49Get the fuck out of here.
01:22:52Fuck, man.
01:22:54Some fucking misunderstanding.
01:22:56Get the fuck out of here.
01:23:00Where's Benny?
01:23:05Um, he...
01:23:07Not he. He had to go.
01:23:13How?
01:23:15You're okay.
01:23:29You're okay.
01:23:51It's true.
01:23:53It's true.
01:23:55It's true.
01:24:01Johnny.
01:24:07I need to talk with you.
01:24:12Alone.
01:24:15They broke two fucking ribs.
01:24:19These fucking new guys.
01:24:22I think they're crazy, Johnny.
01:24:26I told my old lady I'd turn in my colors.
01:24:32I want to turn in my colors.
01:24:36Quit the club.
01:24:40I understand.
01:24:43But, Johnny, these guys.
01:24:46The fucking new ones.
01:24:51I'm worried when they find out, they'll fucking kill me.
01:24:56I need help.
01:25:06I'll take care of you.
01:25:26You got a pistol, right?
01:25:31Yeah.
01:25:33Bring it by tonight.
01:25:38What are we gonna do?
01:25:40We gotta go see Cockroach.
01:25:56Fuck.
01:26:08Benny?
01:26:10You up here?
01:26:12Yeah.
01:26:14What you doing?
01:26:16Nothing.
01:26:21Look, I got something I need to say.
01:26:23I gotta be someplace.
01:26:25Well, we all got places to be, you know?
01:26:31What is it?
01:26:45I can't live like this no more.
01:26:50And I ain't gonna live like this no more.
01:26:54Well, you weren't there, Benny. You didn't see it, you know?
01:26:57Like, I didn't know what I would've done
01:26:59if they got me up those stairs and into that bedroom, you know?
01:27:02Johnny said he took care of it. He said nothing happened.
01:27:04Well, that's not true. You weren't there. You didn't see it.
01:27:07I mean, you weren't there.
01:27:09I know. I'm sorry.
01:27:11You weren't there!
01:27:15If they'd have got me up those stairs,
01:27:17I think I would've taken your gun and I would've popped my brains out.
01:27:20Come on.
01:27:22Look, I'm serious.
01:27:24You know, I know I'm always saying that people who commit suicide,
01:27:27they must be nuts.
01:27:29Well, you know, I think this time I will go nuts.
01:27:33Who'd even want you after a thing like that?
01:27:35Who'd even want to look at you?
01:27:39What do you want me to do?
01:27:41I want you to quit writing. I want you to quit the club.
01:27:46Don't ask that.
01:27:49You know, I was thinking we'd go someplace, you know?
01:27:52I mean, you said you had a cousin in Florida
01:27:55with a garage you could work at. Let's go there.
01:27:57You know, let's just go someplace, Benny.
01:28:02Benny?
01:28:09Benny! What?!
01:28:14What do you think this is?
01:28:17Hmm.
01:28:21When did you ever think this was gonna be?
01:28:38Benny?
01:28:43I gotta go meet Johnny.
01:28:46Okay.
01:29:16Don't do nothing. Just follow me in.
01:29:47You ready?
01:29:52Give me a pistol.
01:29:57Fuck! Fuck!
01:29:59Ah! Ah!
01:30:05Fuck!
01:30:08Fuck!
01:30:10Fuck!
01:30:12Fuck!
01:30:17You let it bleed.
01:30:21Go now.
01:30:24Stay gone.
01:30:32Come on.
01:30:46Come on.
01:31:12The fuck was all that for?
01:31:16That...
01:31:18That was taking care of Cockroach.
01:31:27Like you took care of Kathy.
01:31:35Is that what this club is now?
01:31:42Is that who we are now?
01:31:47That's it.
01:32:06Benny. Benny.
01:32:09Okay, um...
01:32:11Okay, um...
01:32:18These new guys...
01:32:21These, uh...
01:32:25These young guys...
01:32:32Though none of them listen...
01:32:37I, uh... I can't run this club no more.
01:32:41I can't.
01:32:52I need you.
01:33:01You know...
01:33:04I don't ask nobody for nothing.
01:33:07And I don't want nothing from nobody.
01:33:12It's not me.
01:33:14Never gonna be me.
01:33:36Fuck.
01:33:57You know, Benny always talked about leaving.
01:34:01And then he was gone.
01:34:04It's like a funny son he says to me.
01:34:06He says, Kathy, I'm gonna tell you something.
01:34:08He says, once you go out with a guy from the Vandals,
01:34:11he says you'll never go back to any other guy, you know?
01:34:14And I think this is true,
01:34:16because after a while you get just like them, you know?
01:34:18You start thinking like them and acting like them.
01:34:21It changes you.
01:34:22I mean, Benny was gone more than a year,
01:34:24because that was 71, you know?
01:34:26That's when some kid showed up to challenge Johnny.
01:34:30I'd never heard of him.
01:34:32You know, it's just some kid.
01:34:51I'm a Vandal now.
01:34:53What chapter?
01:34:55Milwaukee.
01:34:58You know, all my guys been talking about
01:35:00done with you running things.
01:35:05I'm here to challenge you.
01:35:10Fists or knives?
01:35:13Knives.
01:35:22Hey, there's, um...
01:35:24There's a parking lot on Fuller near the lake.
01:35:31Tomorrow night.
01:35:34All right.
01:35:55Any ideas?
01:35:57A few, a few.
01:35:59But I want to take a look at the test before I commit.
01:36:04How was your evening?
01:36:05Where are the girls?
01:36:07Out with friends.
01:36:10Man, I got to head out.
01:36:12You coming back tonight?
01:36:14Yeah.
01:36:15Grab some eggs on your way back.
01:36:17I'll see you later.
01:36:19Bye.
01:36:24On my way home? I don't want to get out again.
01:36:31Yeah.
01:36:54Bye.
01:37:25Hey, Johnny.
01:37:30Hey, Kathy.
01:37:45Benny ever come back around?
01:37:50No.
01:37:53No?
01:37:56You know, if he had, I figured you would have seen him before me.
01:38:00Nah.
01:38:03Yeah, last I heard, he rode to Indiana with some guys.
01:38:10That sounds right.
01:38:14What do you need?
01:38:17Nothing.
01:38:26Well, I guess neither of us got him.
01:38:34I guess not.
01:38:47You know...
01:38:52You can give everything you got to a thing,
01:38:55and you can give it all you got.
01:39:00And it's still just going to do what it's going to do.
01:39:09What, you mean like my marriages?
01:39:12You mean like my marriages?
01:39:25Come on, Johnny. What do you need?
01:39:33I already said it.
01:39:39Nothing.
01:39:42Nothing.
01:39:51Hey, take it easy, Kathy.
01:39:57You too, Johnny.
01:40:13It was late October, so it was already getting cold.
01:40:17From what I hear, some of the old vandals didn't even take their bikes.
01:40:21They just sat in their cars to watch.
01:40:24Now, here's the law.
01:40:26What is that, a gerund?
01:40:28Now, here's the law. It's when you go to work and you go to jail at night.
01:40:32That's what I'm saying.
01:40:34It's used in the trade.
01:40:36All these flunkies.
01:40:42Come on.
01:40:58Let me take care of this.
01:41:03Go get him, Johnny.
01:41:13It's getting fucking cold out there.
01:41:30Now you want it, kid.
01:41:37Fuck.
01:41:42Fuck.
01:41:58You know, I heard a guy say later, a bike rider, he says,
01:42:02that once Johnny got killed, that was the end of the golden age of motorcycles.
01:42:08Hey, after that, this kid took over.
01:42:10He turned the vandals into a proper gang, you know?
01:42:26What the fuck we do now?
01:42:31Nothing to do.
01:42:37Nothing.
01:42:46The gang got even bigger.
01:42:53I mean, they have chapters all over the Midwest now, even further, you know?
01:42:57I heard they started running drugs down from Canada, you know,
01:43:00gambling, prostitution, you name it.
01:43:03I mean, I heard they even murdered people.
01:43:08You know, in other clubs, you know, you think of Funny Sonny, right?
01:43:12Coming from California, that couldn't happen today, you know?
01:43:15I mean, with other clubs, they attack each other on sight now.
01:43:18I mean, it's a real shame.
01:43:21And what about the other guys?
01:43:23What happened to all the guys?
01:43:25I mean, well, some of the guys still ride with them, you know?
01:43:28Wahoo and Quirky, I think.
01:43:31They're still vandals.
01:43:33Fuck you, girl.
01:43:35Ah!
01:43:38You know when Cal died?
01:43:40Yeah, they said he was painting houses in Lakewood.
01:43:43He fell off a ladder and he broke his neck.
01:43:49Somebody told me Funny Sonny got paid five bucks
01:43:52to sit on his bike outside the movie theater
01:43:54to try to get people to watch Easy Rider.
01:43:58Woo!
01:44:00Woo!
01:44:02The whole thing is just ridiculous.
01:44:06Cockroach went back home, and can you believe this?
01:44:08He's a motorcycle cop now.
01:44:10Yeah, of all things.
01:44:14And Zipco moved to Texas to work on a shrimp boat.
01:44:18That's the last I heard of him, I don't know.
01:44:24And what about Benny?
01:44:31Hey, Benny.
01:44:33You hear that?
01:44:45They just told me the leader of the vandals got killed.
01:44:48A guy named Johnny.
01:44:51Said some kid just walked up to him
01:44:54and said, you know,
01:44:56Johnny said some kid just walked up
01:45:00and shot him in the parking lot.
01:45:05Didn't you used to ride with that guy?
01:45:08Yeah.
01:45:13These fucking kids.
01:45:26Fuck.
01:45:56Fuck.
01:46:27Fuck.
01:46:29Fuck.
01:46:56Fuck.
01:47:27Fuck.
01:47:36We moved down here to Florida.
01:47:40You know?
01:47:43Is he still riding?
01:47:45No, no.
01:47:48No, ever since Johnny died, you know,
01:47:50Benny don't ride no more.
01:47:53And you know, I...
01:47:57I don't think he misses it.
01:48:05He thinks we're real good.
01:48:08Well, real good. We're happy.
01:48:11Yeah, Benny works for his cousin now, and things are real good.
01:48:19We're happy.
01:48:27I want to go back to England.
01:48:29Everything went wrong.
01:48:31How we get respect and how we get to the right thing.
01:48:35You start getting mad, you start yelling.
01:48:57He used to laugh at me
01:49:00Used to fight with me
01:49:02It makes me so sad
01:49:05Sadder than he did for me
01:49:08And I can't see
01:49:10He's still in those dreams
01:49:13In his heart
01:49:15Out in the streets
01:49:20He don't
01:49:22Comb his hair
01:49:24Like he did before
01:49:27Like he don't wear those dirty old black boots no more
01:49:33I don't believe that we're the same
01:49:36There's something that he's missing
01:49:38But tell me he's changed
01:49:41I know that something's missing inside
01:49:44Something that
01:49:46He's still in those dreams
01:49:49In his heart
01:49:51Cause I am his dream
01:49:57He grew up on the sidewalk
01:49:59Streetlights shining through
01:50:01He grew up with no one to love
01:50:06He grew up on the sidewalk
01:50:08He grew up running free
01:50:10He grew up with an even beat
01:50:17He don't hang around
01:50:19With the gang no more
01:50:21He don't hang around
01:50:24With the gang no more
01:50:26He don't hang around
01:50:28With the gang no more
01:50:30He don't hang around
01:50:42Got him in a girlfriend that plays the wrong grand
01:50:45Swore if she got out alive she'd not go back again
01:50:49Fellas didn't know her and they scared her half to death
01:50:53Handprints on her jeans she would've just got up and left
01:50:56That's when she saw Benny stand over a bug bar
01:51:00Sat back down and waited till he came over to talk
01:51:04Later on that night as she was walking out the door
01:51:08Benny turned up his bike and boys came out for more
01:51:15Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:51:18Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:51:21Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:51:26They picked her up and put her on the back of Benny's bike
01:51:29And Candy's been with Benny Bauer ever since that night
01:51:33She's tried to leave him many times and can't quack it away
01:51:36Seen more jails and courts and lawyers than she liked to say
01:51:40That Benny's always been a fighter and that'll never change
01:51:43Candy takes him home and he'll smell her boots all the same
01:51:46He made it from the club room all the way out to the street
01:51:50They beat him with a barstool but he made it on his feet
01:51:54Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:51:57Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:52:00Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:52:03Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:52:08Kathy's running to her boy, picks him up and takes him home
01:52:15And Benny's crying, Candy begs him, sorry, don't you know
01:52:21I'm sorry, don't you know
01:52:25I'm sorry, don't you know
01:52:30And finally cops stop by and the fellas drink their beer
01:52:34Women with their hair done up, they make it very clear
01:52:37Which one of the fellas is all theirs can't be touched
01:52:41That's how many of the motorcycle riders just give up
01:52:44I'm talking to the pretty ladies, every one they can
01:52:48Never seen the trouble caused all by just one dance
01:52:52If Benny don't get himself shot tonight, I wish he did when he gets home
01:52:58Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:53:02Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:53:05Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:53:09Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:53:13Now, Kathy's dead, Benny and he keeps her by his side
01:53:17Kathy's still a kid, his girl, his boy's a lover of mine
01:53:21Riders line up, BSA's out on this town with his tracks
01:53:24Levi's jeans and leather jackets, numbers on their backs
01:53:28And Benny Flaggs, Tim McGriff, I-215 class
01:53:31They make him start way up in a high-flyer railroad track
01:53:35Tomorrow they'll all ride across the Illinois state line
01:53:38With a motorcycle class and a St. Christopher's shrine
01:53:42Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:53:45Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:53:48Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:53:52Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:53:56Kathy's walking out the door with little Benny all alone
01:54:03And Benny's crying, Kathy, please, baby, don't you go
01:54:09Oh, baby, don't you go
01:54:13Oh, baby, don't you go
01:54:18Kathy, you made it this time
01:54:22Just leave him in the middle of the night
01:54:25His watch on your table, his boots on your floor
01:54:29The car's parked right outside of your back door
01:54:32Just leave him asleep in your bed
01:54:35And you're halfway to Chicago four, two, five, seven
01:54:42Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:54:46Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:54:49Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:54:53Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:54:57Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:55:01Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:55:19Here I go walking down this lonely street
01:55:26Laughing and smiling with everyone that I meet
01:55:35For no one knows what's in this lonely heart for me
01:55:45Oh, this lonely street
01:55:53Talking about this lonely street
01:55:57This lonely street
01:56:01Laughing and smiling with everyone that I meet
01:56:15For no one knows what's in this lonely heart for me
01:56:23Oh, this lonely street
01:56:27Talking about this lonely street
01:56:31This lonely street
01:56:35Laughing and smiling with everyone that I meet
