touching your son.
- Inappropriately
touching my son?
- Your brother's been
molesting your son, Mrs. shea.

- 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.

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
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?

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

- God, I miss you.
Looking at law and order,
shines a harsh light
on capital punishment
in the lone star state.
