has been inappropriately

touching your son.

- Inappropriately

touching my son?

- Your brother's been

molesting your son, Mrs. shea.

- That is not true.

- I'm sorry.

- That is not true.

I don't know where

you got that, but,

that ain't true.

- Mrs. shea, your son told me.

I'm sorry.

- That don't make no sense.

That don't make no sense.

That's a, that's a lie.

That is a goddamn lie.

You're making up stories.

And you come in here with

your lies and your stories.

You need to go.

You need to get the

hell outta here.

You need to get the

hell outta my house.

I said get the hell

outta my house.

Get out, get outta here.

And your lies, and your stories.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

What the hell did

you do to my boy?

- I was the victim.

But I may as well have

been the perpetrator

from the way she reacted.

- I said to get outta my house.

- I'm sorry.

May god be with you.

- This is my house!

It's my house!

Come in here, saying

things like that to me.

- Cynthia shea

drank herself to death

pretty soon after.

Killed, maybe.

What do you think?

Destined from a tender

age to be a criminal, or.

- Well it's too

soon in the process

for me to form an

opinion on that.

- What exactly is your process?

- I know that you're familiar

with the flag system.

So I am looking for

signs that stand out.

And recognizing the

red flags early enough

so that the violence

can be stopped.

So, let's talk about your uncle.

- I lived with him

until about the time I was 17.

After I got too old, uncle

Mike turned his attentions

to the kid of the

girl he'd been seeing.

She didn't suspect a damn thing.

Seeing him chase

after that little boy,

something just snapped.

- No no, please, god.

- I felt illuminated and free.

- Free?

- Well it was the

first time in my life

I was ever in control of

the events that guided me.

Nothing's more

freeing than that.

- You know you

could've stopped him

without putting him

in the hospital.

You chose to fly into a rage.

- Don't you get it, doc?

We're all just caged animals.

With animal instincts.

Time's up, Dr. Tyler.

- Firefighters

from waco and other cities

report that due to dry

weather and wind conditions,

the fire is still very

much an active threat

to local communities,

and that evacuation orders

will remain in place.

The fire is currently

reported to be 15% contained.

More information on

this ongoing story

will be reported as

it becomes available.

- God, I miss you.

Looking at law and order,

the impending execution of

Texas inmate Jackson shea

shines a harsh light

on capital punishment

in the lone star state.

Due to vocal public opinion
