:21:03
We were in business together.
:21:05
What kind of business?
:21:07
You know, you guys haven't
read me my rights.
:21:09
Nothing I tell you is admissible.
:21:11
We just want to hear
your story, Dave, all right?
:21:14
All right.
:21:16
I met Ron Launius
in Chino in 1973.
:21:20
We stayed tight.
A few months ago
:21:22
he and Billy came up
to Sacramento to see me.
:21:24
They had a small operation here in LA
that was really starting to cook.
:21:28
Drugs?
:21:30
Now he and Billy Deverell
were partners?
:21:33
Yep, ran it right out of the house.
:21:35
3678 Wonderland.
:21:38
Billy...
:21:41
Billy was a good old boy.
:21:44
Solid, dependable.
:21:47
He wanted to get out of the life,
but the life was just too good.
:21:53
See, they were getting
large quantities of shit dirt cheap,
:21:56
stepping on it five, six times
and then dumping it all over town.
:21:59
- Heads up, dickheads.
- Business was so good
:22:02
that they needed an extra hand,
which is when Barbara and I showed up.
:22:07
When we pulled up
the party was in full swing.
:22:11
Bodies everywhere, I mean it was
the kind of place that made you think
:22:14
you were right back
in the summer of love.
:22:16
Me and Barb, we'd been
on the road all day long
:22:19
and all I could think about
was a place to crash.
:22:24
But when I walked up the stairs,
I saw all the old friends,
:22:28
all the smiles.
:22:32
Goddamn, if it didn't
feel good to be home.
:22:36
:22:43
:22:46
Davey! Yes, brother!
:22:49
I saw Cherokee straight off.
:22:51
Welcome home!
:22:52
He was one of Ronnie's boys.
He set me up,
:22:55
- he set me walking.
- Right this way, my man.
:22:57
Right this way.
Follow me right up here.
:22:59
There was Billy, his wife Joy...
