American Violence Page #4

on both sides of the issue,

the governor has announced a

final review of the possibility

for a stay of execution

in Mr. shea's case

under the authority

of Dr. Amanda Tyler,

a noted criminal psychologist.

The governor has stated

that Dr. Tyler's findings

will likely be a key factor

in determining what action

the Texas department of

criminal justice will take.

- You ready to start, Jack?

- The judge gave me a choice.

Either go to military

school, or go to juvie.

I breeze through basic training,

get selected for sniper school

because I have 20/10 vision,

and I aced marksmanship.

- Well your file says

that you actually

got kicked out of

military school.

That resulted in

parole left 18 months.

There's consequences

for our actions, Jack.

Action.

Reaction.

Action, you put your

uncle in the hospital.

Reaction, you get

sentenced to 18 months.

- 18 months, served 12.

- So this is, what?

An example of the

system failing?

You think you're above the law?

- You ever cheat the

insurance companies, doc?

Bill a patient for cash

and put in a claim for it.

Us in the know call that

double back billing.

First line of defense

against the y2k buzz,

checking each

machine to make sure

it works properly

in the year 2000.

- Mia, could you give us two

fingers of the good stuff?

- Yes, Marty.

- I met Marty in prison.

Let's just say he was

someone in the know.

Once I got out, he

offered me a job,

'cause let's face it, who

else is gonna hire a con?

- Listen to me, kid.

I'm talking about doctors,

lawyers, dentists.

Large amounts of cash that

don't get reported to the IRS.

Won't be reported to the

cops if it comes up missing.

They hide their money in a

coat closet in their office,

or in a shoe box under the bed.

There was this one lawyer,

he hid 25,000 f***ing

dollars in a coffee can

that he stuck in a microwave.

- There's a point

somewhere here, right?

- Yeah, this is the point.

That d*ckhead parole

officer I have?

He got me a night job

cleaning office buildings.

Hey.

This guy, he's gotta replace

the shop-vac on

the second floor.

- The hell I care for?

Just sign the damn board.

- Now in one of these

buildings is a gynecologist,

who gives a discount

to women who pay cash,

and then he bills their

insurance company.

There it is.

He's got a safe in his closet

that is bursting out

the f***ing seams.

- How much money are

we talking about?

- We won't know 'til we open it.

This doctor must be

some kinda idiot.

He buys himself a wall safe,

but he doesn't put it in a wall.

You got the hammer, kid?

What're you doing, get the

chisel, come on, man, come on.

Come on.

Now just go down the sides,
