solemn music
4
00:00:31,114 --> 00:00:34,784
You got two 20-grain
federal .44 Magnums,
5
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:37,287
a six-inch barrel .44 Magnum.
6
00:00:37,328 --> 00:00:39,748
These are not lead bullets.
7
00:00:39,789 --> 00:00:41,416
Could use a four-inch barrel.
We're not gonna do that.
8
00:00:41,458 --> 00:00:43,209
We're gonna give it
the real thing.
9
00:00:44,669 --> 00:00:47,922
Uh, just in case this doesn't
go right, there's my car keys.
10
00:00:47,964 --> 00:00:50,383
Okay. [chuckles]
11
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:53,595
Uh, check the cylinder
of the gun here.
12
00:00:53,636 --> 00:00:56,056
-[chamber spinning]
-Feel like Matt Dillon.
13
00:01:00,351 --> 00:01:02,228
[sighs]
14
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:05,065
And a lot of people think I'm
kind of stupid for doing this,
15
00:01:05,106 --> 00:01:09,444
but if it's just one knucklehead
out there
16
00:01:09,486 --> 00:01:12,197
that this will make
the difference to,
17
00:01:12,238 --> 00:01:14,616
one guy sees this and says,
18
00:01:14,657 --> 00:01:17,285
"Yeah, maybe I will
get one of those,"
19
00:01:17,327 --> 00:01:18,870
then it's worth it.
20
00:01:28,963 --> 00:01:30,715
Easy as pie, guys.
21
00:01:31,674 --> 00:01:33,218
[gunshot]
22
00:01:33,259 --> 00:01:34,886
soft music
23
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:05,583
There's an arms race going on.
24
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:07,168
It's not a recent thing.
25
00:02:07,210 --> 00:02:11,506
It's been going on
for over 500 million years.
26
00:02:14,175 --> 00:02:16,010
[roaring]
27
00:02:17,679 --> 00:02:19,305
Fish would have armor on them.
28
00:02:19,347 --> 00:02:22,016
Other fish have
sharper teeth, stronger jaws.
29
00:02:23,017 --> 00:02:24,602
The first fish develops
thicker armor.
30
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:26,020
Goes back and forth,
back and forth.
31
00:02:27,397 --> 00:02:29,482
You have the Homo sapiens
on the Earth.
32
00:02:29,524 --> 00:02:31,860
They'd have crude body armor
made out of vines and stuff.
33
00:02:31,901 --> 00:02:33,862
They'd try to weave up
a little bit.
34
00:02:33,903 --> 00:02:36,698
You know, put some turtle shells
or clamshells in there.
35
00:02:38,074 --> 00:02:41,035
And sharp sticks would
bounce off a little better.
36
00:02:42,036 --> 00:02:43,705
Then the other side,
37
00:02:43,746 --> 00:02:45,165
[imitates air whooshing]
bows and arrows go through.
38
00:02:45,206 --> 00:02:47,041
[arrows whooshing]
39
00:02:47,083 --> 00:02:48,751
And the other side comes back
with steel plate armor
40
00:02:48,793 --> 00:02:50,920
-and chain mail armor.
-[armor clanging]
41
00:02:50,962 --> 00:02:52,714
And it goes back and forth
42
00:02:52,755 --> 00:02:53,882
and back and forth
and back and forth.
43
00:02:57,969 --> 00:03:01,598
And for just a little sliver
of history,
44
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,058
I was on the leading edge of it.
45
00:03:16,779 --> 00:03:19,073
[Ramin Bahrani]
In 500 million years,
46
00:03:19,115 --> 00:03:24,078
Richard Davis is the only man
to have shot himself 192 times
47
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,081
in the eternal battle
between armor and weapons.
48
00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:31,002
Uh, no big deal.
49
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:32,754
Ow.
50
00:03:32,795 --> 00:03:34,547
Someday I'm gonna ham it up
with a bag of ketchup there
51
00:03:34,589 --> 00:03:36,257
and splat out and go...
[imitates groaning]
52
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,344
[applause]
53
00:03:41,262 --> 00:03:42,597
Can you get a zoom-in shot here?
54
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,182
[Ramin]
As the inventor
55
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:46,100
of the modern-day
bulletproof vest,
56
00:03:46,142 --> 00:03:48,603
Richard had a product to sell.
57
00:03:48,645 --> 00:03:52,565
He was a showman, businessman
and a filmmaker,
58
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:54,776
creating eight hours
of cult movies
59
00:03:54,817 --> 00:03:56,444
that were beloved by police
across the country.
60
00:03:56,486 --> 00:03:57,779
Kurt, you okay, man?
61
00:03:57,820 --> 00:03:59,113
I'm okay, man.
He just dusted me.
62
00:03:59,155 --> 00:04:00,114
-Did you get him?
-I don't know, man.
63
00:04:00,156 --> 00:04:01,282
I don't know.
64
00:04:01,324 --> 00:04:03,117
[Ramin]
At his height,
65
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:06,537
Richard was the king of
a global body armor industry.
66
00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:08,581
His company, Second Chance,
67
00:04:08,623 --> 00:04:10,375
was worth over
$50 million dollars.
68
00:04:10,416 --> 00:04:14,379
His vests were being worn
by police, military
69
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:16,714
-and even President Bush.
-[applause]
70
00:04:16,756 --> 00:04:21,302
Thank you very much for sharing
your God-given talents with us.
71
00:04:21,344 --> 00:04:23,805
[applause]
72
00:04:23,846 --> 00:04:26,641
[Ramin] What drew me to Richard
were his contradictions.
73
00:04:28,351 --> 00:04:30,478
What makes a man
risk his own life
74
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,355
in order to save
thousands of people...
75
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:37,568
...only to endanger others,
76
00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:41,322
time and again,
over three decades,
77
00:04:41,364 --> 00:04:44,867
ultimately putting
over 100,000 lives at risk?
78
00:04:46,327 --> 00:04:47,578
[grunts]
79
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:49,831
-Ooh.
-[laughter]
80
00:05:06,264 --> 00:05:09,684
The purpose of what I'm trying
to illustrate to you here today,
81
00:05:09,726 --> 00:05:13,646
uh, is, uh, to show you,
82
00:05:13,688 --> 00:05:16,190
uh, to show you... Eh.
83
00:05:34,083 --> 00:05:36,711
Seven Mile Road. Takes me back.
84
00:05:36,753 --> 00:05:38,880
Uh, Petula Clark. [chuckles]
85
00:05:38,921 --> 00:05:41,549
Listen to the music
of the traffic in the city
86
00:05:41,591 --> 00:05:44,177
Worst imitation
of Petula Clark ever.
87
00:05:44,218 --> 00:05:45,636
[Ramin]
What used to be here?
88
00:05:45,678 --> 00:05:47,138
This-this used to be
my pizza store here.
89
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:49,891
Way, way back,
uh, actually, 50 years ago.
90
00:05:49,932 --> 00:05:52,477
Fifty-one years ago.
My God, I'm old.
91
00:05:52,518 --> 00:05:55,063
We'd make the pizza
in the back there.
92
00:05:55,104 --> 00:05:56,647
First, you take the dough,
93
00:05:56,689 --> 00:05:58,066
you throw it up in the air
and spin around.
94
00:05:58,107 --> 00:05:59,650
Well, you don't do it
with your fingers.
95
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:01,069
Everyone thinks you do it
with your fingertips.
96
00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:02,820
You do it with
the back of your knuckles.
97
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:03,696
You put your fingertips
up there, put a hole in it.
98
00:06:03,738 --> 00:06:05,031
You go, flip it up.
99
00:06:05,073 --> 00:06:06,657
And, boy, I can still do that.
[laughs]
100
00:06:06,699 --> 00:06:08,826
[Ramin] Richard's origin story
as inventor
101
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:11,621
bizarrely started here.
102
00:06:11,662 --> 00:06:15,625
In 1970, Richard's fiancée Karen
went with her friend
103
00:06:15,666 --> 00:06:19,921
to deliver an order of two
large pepperoni and ham pizzas.
104
00:06:19,962 --> 00:06:22,006
[Karen] We heard somebody call
from the back saying,
105
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:23,549
"Bring it around the back."
106
00:06:23,591 --> 00:06:25,593
So we went. We were very naive.
107
00:06:25,635 --> 00:06:28,096
And there were five men there,
108
00:06:28,137 --> 00:06:31,808
and, um, one put
a machete to my throat
109
00:06:31,849 --> 00:06:36,020
and started kind of dragging us
back toward the backyard.
110
00:06:36,062 --> 00:06:37,188
But then another one said,
111
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:38,815
"Let's just get the money
and go."
112
00:06:38,856 --> 00:06:40,942
So, we were okay.
113
00:06:42,318 --> 00:06:45,363
pensive music
114
00:06:48,116 --> 00:06:49,784
[Richard]
Six months later,
115
00:06:49,826 --> 00:06:52,120
the night after Apollo
went off to the moon,
116
00:06:52,161 --> 00:06:54,455
got a call
in the same general area
117
00:06:54,497 --> 00:06:56,749
for two large pepperoni and ham.
118
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:59,127
And that's the same order
that Karen took
119
00:06:59,168 --> 00:07:02,213
right into the jaws
of a armed robbery.
120
00:07:02,255 --> 00:07:04,632
I got a six-shot .22.
121
00:07:04,674 --> 00:07:06,134
I took the revolver like this
and I had it
122
00:07:06,175 --> 00:07:07,718
underneath the pizza box.
123
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,012
I-I see these guys
standing there.
124
00:07:10,054 --> 00:07:12,557
I said, "Did you guys
order pizza?"
125
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:15,476
And they said,
"Yeah, bring it around back."
126
00:07:15,518 --> 00:07:17,854
I knew it was gonna be
a robbery then.
127
00:07:17,895 --> 00:07:19,647
Tallest one, he had
a small nickel-plated automatic
128
00:07:19,689 --> 00:07:21,399
pointed right at my head.
129
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:22,900
I just kept watching
his hand there, you know.
130
00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:24,360
I see some stupid Western movies
sometimes say,
131
00:07:24,402 --> 00:07:25,862
"Watch the man's eyes.
That'll tell you."
132
00:07:25,903 --> 00:07:28,114
No. What the hell?
Just watch his hands.
133
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:32,994
His hand started to move.
134
00:07:34,871 --> 00:07:36,581
I shot inside his jaw
and out his ear.
135
00:07:36,622 --> 00:07:37,999
Another one went
an inch off his heart,
136
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,750
right through him,
right through him-- .22.
137
00:07:39,792 --> 00:07:41,544
I missed the third shot,
138
00:07:41,586 --> 00:07:43,212
and the fourth shot hit
the second guy in the shoulder.
139
00:07:43,254 --> 00:07:44,881
Boom, I hit him
right dead center in the back,
140
00:07:44,922 --> 00:07:46,424
[clicks tongue]
behind the heart.
141
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:48,176
He went [blows raspberry]
flat down on his nose.
142
00:07:48,217 --> 00:07:50,511
Right here in this spot...
143
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:54,557
...I defeated two men
in a gunfight.
144
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:58,853
Unfortunately, I was
fighting three at the time.
145
00:07:58,895 --> 00:08:00,855
And the guy that I thought
was dead twice over
146
00:08:00,897 --> 00:08:01,981
is laying on the ground.
147
00:08:02,023 --> 00:08:03,774
He fired that .25 twice.
148
00:08:03,816 --> 00:08:05,193
Hit me in the back
of the left leg
149
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:07,612
and the right side
of the head here.
150
00:08:07,653 --> 00:08:10,114
And then they just shot,
took off.
151
00:08:10,156 --> 00:08:11,657
[siren wailing]
152
00:08:11,699 --> 00:08:13,493
[Ramin]
Six months later,
153
00:08:13,534 --> 00:08:16,829
his two pizzerias will
burn down in the same night.
154
00:08:16,871 --> 00:08:19,457
There was a dispute
as to how it happened.
155
00:08:20,416 --> 00:08:22,251
It was definitely an arson,
156
00:08:22,293 --> 00:08:25,505
and, uh... for-for a while,
the policemen thought I did it.
157
00:08:25,546 --> 00:08:26,881
And I imagine people r-right--
158
00:08:26,923 --> 00:08:28,257
watching this right now
are saying,
159
00:08:28,299 --> 00:08:29,842
"Hey, maybe he did it,
maybe he did it."
160
00:08:29,884 --> 00:08:31,511
He did it for--
"Why would he do it?"
161
00:08:31,552 --> 00:08:33,137
"For the insurance.
He did it for the insurance."
162
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:35,014
I didn't have
any damn insurance, okay?
163
00:08:35,056 --> 00:08:36,057
[laughs] Geez.
164
00:08:37,099 --> 00:08:38,768
[Ramin]
Out of work
165
00:08:38,809 --> 00:08:41,479
and with his alleyway shootout
fresh in mind,
166
00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:44,815
Richard focused his attention
on the danger he saw everywhere.
167
00:08:44,857 --> 00:08:46,817
dramatic music
168
00:08:52,114 --> 00:08:54,700
[Richard] I kept reading stories
about policemen getting killed.
169
00:08:56,786 --> 00:09:00,164
And at one point in 1971,
around the country,
170
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:03,334
eight cops were shot to death
in one weekend.
171
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:05,795
The reason?
Probably narcotics
172
00:09:05,836 --> 00:09:08,589
and the lack
of mandatory jail terms.
173
00:09:10,508 --> 00:09:12,802
Here's the old concept
in body armor.
174
00:09:12,843 --> 00:09:14,470
Flak jackets.
175
00:09:14,512 --> 00:09:16,597
They have two major drawbacks.
176
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:19,934
First, they are too stiff
and heavy for everyday wear.
177
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:21,894
Second, the criminal
can see the armor
178
00:09:21,936 --> 00:09:23,604
and shoots
for the officer's head.
179
00:09:25,940 --> 00:09:28,317
[Richard] I realized the vest
has got to be comfortable enough
180
00:09:28,359 --> 00:09:30,570
to wear on a daily basis,
181
00:09:30,611 --> 00:09:32,446
but nobody makes
anything like that.
182
00:09:33,155 --> 00:09:36,284
And I'm thinking to myself,
"Well, maybe somebody ought to."
183
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:38,619
Right now...
184
00:09:38,661 --> 00:09:40,746
[Richard]
I got a 70-dollar roll of nylon.
185
00:09:40,788 --> 00:09:43,624
It was different 'cause it was
lighter than steel plates.
186
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:45,501
No metal,
that's the important thing.
187
00:09:46,294 --> 00:09:49,630
I made the squares and then
sewed them together with an awl.
188
00:09:49,672 --> 00:09:52,800
We had to make
every single stitch by hand.
189
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:54,760
He cut the seat belts
out of our car
190
00:09:54,802 --> 00:09:56,429
to use for shoulder straps.
191
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:58,264
[Richard]
I had one year
192
00:09:58,306 --> 00:09:59,932
at the University of Michigan
College of Engineering.
193
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:04,312
So, everything was
very scientific.
194
00:10:04,353 --> 00:10:05,896
[Ramin]
But how did you know it worked?
195
00:10:05,938 --> 00:10:06,981
Well, we shot it,
yeah, we shot it.
196
00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:08,065
Of course, yes.
197
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:12,528
Your bullet is right there,
about halfway through.
198
00:10:13,779 --> 00:10:16,240
He also shot in our basement
of our townhouse,
199
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:19,660
which the neighbors
didn't like very much. [laughs]
200
00:10:19,702 --> 00:10:23,247
So we didn't last long
in the townhouse. [laughs]
201
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:27,835
[Richard]
People were saying,
202
00:10:27,877 --> 00:10:29,503
if you don't have
a steel plate there,
203
00:10:29,545 --> 00:10:31,839
the impact of the bullet
will shatter your ribs
204
00:10:31,881 --> 00:10:33,591
and blow a piece of
your sternum through your heart.
205
00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:35,635
Very least, you'll be so stunned
206
00:10:35,676 --> 00:10:37,511
you won't be able
to, uh, return fire,
207
00:10:37,553 --> 00:10:39,180
and the bad guy will just go
over and shoot you in the head.
208
00:10:39,221 --> 00:10:40,973
I didn't think
that was the case,
209
00:10:41,015 --> 00:10:42,808
but then again,
maybe they were right.
210
00:10:42,850 --> 00:10:44,185
I didn't know.
211
00:10:46,395 --> 00:10:49,315
I had a scheduled demonstration
at a police department.
212
00:10:49,357 --> 00:10:51,067
You know, cops are
very stubborn, cynical.
213
00:10:51,108 --> 00:10:53,694
"Show me.
Show me if this works or not."
214
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:56,364
I decided I had to do it.
215
00:10:56,405 --> 00:10:58,407
I had to get shot on the vest.
216
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:02,036
"We'll go out in the woods
somewhere and just do it.
217
00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:03,704
Or, uh, I'll do it right here,
if you guys d-don't mind."
218
00:11:03,746 --> 00:11:06,207
I-I thought they would say,
"Oh, God, no, liability."
219
00:11:06,248 --> 00:11:08,209
They said, "Yeah, go ahead."
[laughs]
220
00:11:46,747 --> 00:11:48,082
[sighs]
221
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:11,397
And the cops, they go,
"Wow, this really works."
222
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:12,606
They scrambled, they sent
223
00:12:12,648 --> 00:12:14,525
word over the teletypes.
224
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:15,901
Teletype.
That's for you young kids.
225
00:12:15,943 --> 00:12:17,987
You never heard of that.
[laughs]
226
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,782
A few hours after I got shot,
everybody knew about this.
227
00:12:21,824 --> 00:12:24,118
light music
228
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:27,913
And I realized
229
00:12:27,955 --> 00:12:29,707
there's this window of time,
230
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:31,792
real-world here--
231
00:12:31,834 --> 00:12:33,627
and, uh, don't quote me
in court or anything--
232
00:12:33,669 --> 00:12:35,546
but a cop just got shot.
233
00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:37,131
There's a few seconds there
234
00:12:37,173 --> 00:12:38,883
where he can do
damn near anything to that guy.
235
00:12:39,842 --> 00:12:41,761
You've been shot.
You're in shock.
236
00:12:41,802 --> 00:12:43,763
The guy is assaulting you.
237
00:12:43,804 --> 00:12:45,139
He shot you once.
Will he shoot you again?
238
00:12:45,181 --> 00:12:47,141
Yeah, they will.
Sometimes they do.
239
00:12:49,143 --> 00:12:51,103
anticipatory music
240
00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:54,815
[Ramin]
Richard got into his car
241
00:12:54,857 --> 00:12:57,151
with vests, guns and ammo,
242
00:12:57,193 --> 00:12:59,612
and drove to police departments
across the country.
243
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:03,032
[Richard] When we got an order,
we put the vests in pizza boxes.
244
00:13:03,073 --> 00:13:05,534
We get the vest,
put it in the box, seal it up.
245
00:13:05,576 --> 00:13:06,911
Off it goes.
246
00:13:06,952 --> 00:13:08,621
Bam, next morning,
it's in California.
247
00:13:08,662 --> 00:13:10,080
The dealers are
out of their minds.
248
00:13:10,122 --> 00:13:12,166
Says, "I-I can't get
such service like this."
249
00:13:16,670 --> 00:13:18,714
So I took every dime I made
250
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:21,592
and I went and I found
a four-color printer.
251
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:24,011
And inside,
talking about the vest
252
00:13:24,053 --> 00:13:26,013
and how you should wear it.
253
00:13:26,055 --> 00:13:27,640
But I put this up here.
254
00:13:27,681 --> 00:13:29,350
"Sex & Violence."
255
00:13:29,391 --> 00:13:31,977
As stupid as it is,
it got people's attention.
256
00:13:32,019 --> 00:13:34,188
The first question
they commonly asked:
257
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:35,648
"Who's the sexy blonde
on the cover?"
258
00:13:35,689 --> 00:13:37,107
And I would say,
259
00:13:37,149 --> 00:13:38,317
"That's me.
The girl ain't bad either."
260
00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:40,152
[laughs]
261
00:13:40,194 --> 00:13:41,821
[Ramin] What did Karen
think about this cover?
262
00:13:41,862 --> 00:13:43,697
Oh, she-she was cool with it.
263
00:13:43,739 --> 00:13:47,451
That was the one that I kind of
had a problem with. [chuckles]
264
00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:49,203
[Richard] We had a little
husband-wife arrangement.
265
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:51,038
It was kind of cool.
266
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,708
Whenever I'm going out
to be working with models,
267
00:13:54,750 --> 00:13:56,669
that morning, we'd go up...
268
00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:58,087
[laughs]
269
00:13:58,128 --> 00:14:00,005
She'd drain my bodily fluids.
270
00:14:00,047 --> 00:14:01,257
[laughs]
271
00:14:01,298 --> 00:14:03,384
She'd toss me to the bed there,
272
00:14:03,425 --> 00:14:05,010
and the tank's empty already.
273
00:14:05,052 --> 00:14:06,720
[laughs]
274
00:14:08,556 --> 00:14:10,015
Oh, yes.
275
00:14:12,142 --> 00:14:16,063
That girl's got the two
best-looking legs in America.
276
00:14:16,105 --> 00:14:18,190
You know how I know that?
I counted them.
277
00:14:18,232 --> 00:14:22,111
"Sex & Violence"
became an institution.
278
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:30,578
I said to Karen, "Do you realize
we're doing so well,
279
00:14:30,619 --> 00:14:33,998
we can go to Kmart
and buy anything we want?"
280
00:14:34,957 --> 00:14:37,418
She goes, "Yeah." [laughs]
281
00:14:37,459 --> 00:14:39,753
This is redneck nirvana here.
[laughs]
282
00:14:41,297 --> 00:14:43,549
[Ramin] Richard left Detroit
and opened a factory
283
00:14:43,591 --> 00:14:46,594
in the small blue-collar town
of Central Lake
284
00:14:46,635 --> 00:14:48,512
in Northern Michigan.
285
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:52,182
He hired hundreds of people
who were out of work
286
00:14:52,224 --> 00:14:55,185
and became
the town's biggest employer.
287
00:14:55,227 --> 00:14:57,271
Richard is crazy, yes.
288
00:14:57,313 --> 00:15:00,024
[both laughing]
289
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:01,275
A good crazy.
290
00:15:01,317 --> 00:15:02,610
[both laugh]
291
00:15:02,651 --> 00:15:04,111
People would talk about him
292
00:15:04,153 --> 00:15:06,238
coming into the shop
with big buckets
293
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,783
of Kentucky Fried Chicken
and passing it out to everybody.
294
00:15:12,036 --> 00:15:15,456
[Ramin] He was a civic leader,
a savior to the town.
295
00:15:16,957 --> 00:15:18,459
Out of his own pocket,
296
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:21,712
he orchestrated
an annual fireworks show
297
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:24,548
that drew tens of thousands
to the region.
298
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:26,258
All these people coming in,
299
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:28,385
going to the restaurants,
going to the stores, you know.
300
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:30,012
Um, and made them aware of
301
00:15:30,054 --> 00:15:32,139
our-our little town
of Central Lake.
302
00:15:34,141 --> 00:15:37,436
[Ramin] At its core, Second
Chance was a family business.
303
00:15:37,478 --> 00:15:39,980
Richard's wife, sister
304
00:15:40,022 --> 00:15:42,650
and father
all held key positions.
305
00:15:42,691 --> 00:15:45,569
He even cast his mom
to act in his films.
306
00:15:45,611 --> 00:15:47,696
Meet Mr. Browning.
307
00:15:50,991 --> 00:15:52,993
[Ramin]
And when his son Matt grew up,
308
00:15:53,035 --> 00:15:54,912
he came to work for his dad.
309
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:56,830
Our carriers and our--
all of our concealer panels.
310
00:15:58,707 --> 00:16:00,918
[Ramin] Richard bought
a 600-acre plot of land
311
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,506
for his home, shooting ranges
and lots of guns.
312
00:16:05,547 --> 00:16:07,716
[Richard]
This land is your land
313
00:16:07,758 --> 00:16:10,552
No, it isn't.
This land is my land, yes.
314
00:16:10,594 --> 00:16:12,304
Get the hell off this land.
315
00:16:12,346 --> 00:16:14,098
This land is my land
316
00:16:14,139 --> 00:16:15,891
This land is my land,
this land is my land
317
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:18,227
This land is my land
318
00:16:18,268 --> 00:16:21,021
Some of the other companies,
my competitors,
319
00:16:21,063 --> 00:16:23,148
every day,
I had people lying about me,
320
00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:24,858
saying that the vest didn't work
321
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:27,444
or some guy got killed
wearing our vest.
322
00:16:27,486 --> 00:16:29,405
They were saying
that I was dead.
323
00:16:29,446 --> 00:16:31,907
This is normal. They would
lie about me all the time.
324
00:16:31,949 --> 00:16:35,285
[Ramin] And, Richard,
describe for me a moment
325
00:16:35,327 --> 00:16:37,788
where you didn't tell the truth.
326
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:39,498
I didn't tell the truth?
327
00:16:41,083 --> 00:16:43,877
Uh, you got me there. [stammers]
328
00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:45,879
pensive music
329
00:16:48,090 --> 00:16:51,510
The truth is
probably the most fragile
330
00:16:51,552 --> 00:16:54,221
and elusive thing
in our universe.
331
00:16:54,263 --> 00:16:57,683
It can be bent, distorted,
332
00:16:57,725 --> 00:16:59,393
turned around.
333
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:02,896
It can be destroyed.
334
00:17:11,488 --> 00:17:13,157
Police! Don't move!
335
00:17:13,198 --> 00:17:15,242
Freeze!
336
00:17:23,125 --> 00:17:24,960
Don't move! Don't move.
337
00:17:25,002 --> 00:17:26,253
[assailant]
You got me. You got me.
338
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:27,588
You breathe wrong,
I'll kill you.
339
00:17:27,629 --> 00:17:28,797
You breathe
wrong, I'll kill you!
340
00:17:30,299 --> 00:17:33,385
[Ramin] Tell me about
the day that you were shot.
341
00:17:34,386 --> 00:17:35,804
[Aaron Westrick]
I was called to
342
00:17:35,846 --> 00:17:37,639
a breaking and entering
in progress.
343
00:17:37,681 --> 00:17:39,975
The suspect's running
from the back of this house,
344
00:17:40,017 --> 00:17:42,770
and I went to capture him.
345
00:17:42,811 --> 00:17:44,605
And, uh, I got close,
346
00:17:44,646 --> 00:17:46,690
within five feet, and I could
see out the corner of my eye
347
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:48,942
with my flashlight
that he had a gun
348
00:17:48,984 --> 00:17:50,778
and that he was
getting ready to shoot me,
349
00:17:50,819 --> 00:17:52,613
and he did. [chuckles]
350
00:17:52,654 --> 00:17:54,406
And I shot him back.
351
00:17:54,448 --> 00:17:55,949
Where did he shoot you?
352
00:17:55,991 --> 00:17:57,701
Well, a bullet
went through my hand
353
00:17:57,743 --> 00:18:01,038
and then lodged in my vest.
354
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,248
Second Chance Body Armor
saved my life.
355
00:18:03,290 --> 00:18:05,250
Next thing you know,
I'm talking to Richard Davis.
356
00:18:05,292 --> 00:18:06,835
He wanted to verify.
357
00:18:06,877 --> 00:18:09,046
"Do you have newspaper
articles?" and so forth.
358
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:10,589
I told him what happened,
and he said,
359
00:18:10,631 --> 00:18:13,300
"Sounds to me like
you're a save."
360
00:18:14,259 --> 00:18:15,844
When I put that armor on,
I feel like
361
00:18:15,886 --> 00:18:17,471
it's Richard Davis
protecting me.
362
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:21,266
[Ramin] Aaron Westrick
would arguably become
363
00:18:21,308 --> 00:18:24,728
the most consequential person
saved by Richard Davis.
364
00:18:25,771 --> 00:18:28,357
-That's you.
-That's me.
365
00:18:28,398 --> 00:18:30,025
soft music
366
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:33,529
[Richard] When I first started
the vest, I said,
367
00:18:33,570 --> 00:18:35,364
"If we save somebody,
I'm gonna make a list."
368
00:18:35,405 --> 00:18:38,200
Here's the name, the date,
the place, the weapon,
369
00:18:38,242 --> 00:18:40,661
and maybe get the guy's picture
with a bruise and smiling.
370
00:18:40,702 --> 00:18:44,331
I jokingly call myself
"Save zero-zero-zero."
371
00:18:45,082 --> 00:18:49,002
I was realistically hoping
for maybe a hundred eventually.
372
00:18:50,879 --> 00:18:52,631
So, uh, I was very happy
to be wrong on that.
373
00:18:52,673 --> 00:18:54,216
We saved more than a thousand.
374
00:18:54,258 --> 00:18:55,884
Sometimes you go
for two or three weeks
375
00:18:55,926 --> 00:18:57,344
without saving anybody,
376
00:18:57,386 --> 00:18:59,179
and I'd get like
a heroin addict withdrawal.
377
00:18:59,221 --> 00:19:01,807
Come on, when we gonna save
somebody? [laughs]
378
00:19:01,849 --> 00:19:03,642
If I wouldn't have been
wearing the body armor,
379
00:19:03,684 --> 00:19:06,019
the .22 would've
killed me, period.
380
00:19:06,061 --> 00:19:09,189
If Chris hadn't been wearing
his Second Chance vest,
381
00:19:09,231 --> 00:19:10,607
we wouldn't have Samuel today.
382
00:19:10,649 --> 00:19:12,651
-It's great to be alive.
-Yeah.
383
00:19:12,693 --> 00:19:14,069
[Chris laughs]
384
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:15,362
Well, she wasn't around
when he got shot.
385
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:16,905
She's only six months old,
386
00:19:16,947 --> 00:19:19,741
so I guess you'd call her
a Second Chance baby.
387
00:19:19,783 --> 00:19:21,410
[Angela Watson]
This is what saved me.
388
00:19:21,451 --> 00:19:23,704
The round was actually stuck
in my vest right here.
389
00:19:23,745 --> 00:19:26,790
A year or so later,
I was getting married.
390
00:19:26,832 --> 00:19:28,458
I told Richard, you know,
I didn't have a real father.
391
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:30,377
My real father didn't want
anything to do with me,
392
00:19:30,419 --> 00:19:32,754
so, uh, I asked Richard,
393
00:19:32,796 --> 00:19:34,882
"Would you be willing
to walk me down the aisle?"
394
00:19:34,923 --> 00:19:37,968
I said, "Angie, I will cancel
an audience with the Pope, okay?
395
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:39,636
I'm gonna be there."
396
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:41,180
It just doesn't get
any cooler than that.
397
00:19:41,221 --> 00:19:43,182
[laughing]
398
00:19:43,223 --> 00:19:45,100
dramatic music
399
00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:54,443
[woman screams]
400
00:20:01,074 --> 00:20:02,409
[Ramin]
You became a movie maker.
401
00:20:02,451 --> 00:20:03,535
Yeah.
402
00:20:03,577 --> 00:20:04,661
I was a director then,
403
00:20:04,703 --> 00:20:05,704
yeah, I guess, I suppose.
404
00:20:05,746 --> 00:20:06,747
Writer, director,
405
00:20:06,788 --> 00:20:08,498
sometimes star-- I don't know.
406
00:20:12,961 --> 00:20:14,213
[woman] The impact caused me
permanent damage.
407
00:20:14,254 --> 00:20:16,506
[Richard]
To promote the vest,
408
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:19,218
we got policemen
who'd been shot in their vest,
409
00:20:19,259 --> 00:20:21,094
got them all to come up here,
410
00:20:21,136 --> 00:20:23,597
and they went through
and reenacted their shooting.
411
00:20:23,639 --> 00:20:25,557
It's a cross between
a 30-second commercial
412
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:27,726
and a two-hour movie.
[chuckles]
413
00:20:27,768 --> 00:20:29,770
I would love to have just made
a 30-second commercial
414
00:20:29,811 --> 00:20:31,730
and say, "Hey, this is a vest,"
415
00:20:31,772 --> 00:20:33,857
but, no, you got to, got to,
got to get them intrigued
416
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:35,359
and show, hey, this guy
got saved his life,
417
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,568
and this one saved his life.
418
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:38,153
"Oh, wow."
419
00:20:38,195 --> 00:20:39,738
Die, pig.
420
00:20:39,780 --> 00:20:41,073
[man groans]
421
00:20:41,114 --> 00:20:43,116
[Aaron]
With the reenactments,
422
00:20:43,158 --> 00:20:46,787
Richard was trying to be
as accurate as possible.
423
00:20:46,828 --> 00:20:48,455
[gunfire]
424
00:20:48,497 --> 00:20:49,790
But my reenactment,
425
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:51,416
it didn't happen in daylight.
426
00:20:51,458 --> 00:20:53,001
-Freeze!
-[Ramin] And the man
427
00:20:53,043 --> 00:20:55,963
who shot you, he was
a white man or a Black man?
428
00:20:56,004 --> 00:20:57,673
Yeah, he was a Black man.
429
00:20:57,714 --> 00:21:00,467
In the re-creation,
he is played by a white man.
430
00:21:00,509 --> 00:21:02,344
[Aaron]
Good point.
431
00:21:02,386 --> 00:21:06,098
The re-creation is
working with what they had.
432
00:21:06,139 --> 00:21:08,141
You got me.
433
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:12,354
[Ramin] In his films, we see
Richard's marketing savvy.
434
00:21:13,689 --> 00:21:16,942
But they also unveil
his inner fears and desires.
435
00:21:16,984 --> 00:21:18,026
[shouting]
436
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:27,661
In his 1975 film,
Second Chance vs. UAP,
437
00:21:27,703 --> 00:21:31,790
a ragtag leftist group of
communist hippies gone berserk
438
00:21:31,832 --> 00:21:35,294
make it their mission
to murder the police.
439
00:21:35,335 --> 00:21:39,339
We're killing pigs,
killing pigs, killing pigs.
440
00:21:39,381 --> 00:21:41,508
There's no more righteous
and beautiful act
441
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:44,177
than the liquidation
of the brutal fascist insect
442
00:21:44,219 --> 00:21:46,722
which preys upon
the lives of our people.
443
00:21:46,763 --> 00:21:48,056
[men cheering]
444
00:21:48,098 --> 00:21:49,683
[Ramin]
What does "UAP" stand for?
445
00:21:49,725 --> 00:21:50,892
Yeah, that's-that's,
that's where--
446
00:21:50,934 --> 00:21:52,311
that's the grabber there, see?
447
00:21:54,021 --> 00:21:55,689
UAPs do exist.
448
00:21:55,731 --> 00:21:58,692
"Unorganized Asshole Punks."
449
00:21:58,734 --> 00:22:00,485
Ah, and, like,
450
00:22:00,527 --> 00:22:02,571
you think this organization
doesn't exist, but it does,
451
00:22:02,612 --> 00:22:04,156
and they're killing
ten policemen every month.
452
00:22:05,115 --> 00:22:06,742
We'd go out
to police departments,
453
00:22:06,783 --> 00:22:08,452
and they'd show it
at a police union meeting.
454
00:22:08,493 --> 00:22:11,455
Everybody loved it,
you know, and they wanted more.
455
00:22:11,496 --> 00:22:12,998
Freeze! Police!
456
00:22:14,916 --> 00:22:17,711
[Ramin] Richard's films
instilled fear into the police
457
00:22:17,753 --> 00:22:21,214
so they would keep buying
the latest model vests.
458
00:22:21,256 --> 00:22:23,258
[alarm ringing]
459
00:22:25,552 --> 00:22:27,387
Inspired by Hollywood films,
460
00:22:27,429 --> 00:22:31,183
Richard's movies also encouraged
police to become rogue killers.
461
00:22:31,224 --> 00:22:32,976
[crowd screaming]
462
00:22:37,230 --> 00:22:39,733
So the question is, punk:
Do you feel lucky?
463
00:22:39,775 --> 00:22:41,068
Well, punk, do you feel lucky?
464
00:22:41,109 --> 00:22:43,070
Well, do you, punk?
465
00:22:44,946 --> 00:22:47,240
dramatic music
466
00:22:47,282 --> 00:22:49,242
[crowd screaming]
467
00:22:50,952 --> 00:22:53,580
[Ramin]
The films also allowed Richard
468
00:22:53,622 --> 00:22:56,917
to lampoon the media if they
questioned police brutality.
469
00:22:56,958 --> 00:22:58,418
Was Godzilla armed?
470
00:22:58,460 --> 00:23:00,962
Well, no, but he was...
he was huge.
471
00:23:01,004 --> 00:23:02,631
Well, did you fire
a warning shot?
472
00:23:02,672 --> 00:23:04,091
No.
473
00:23:04,132 --> 00:23:05,926
[Ramin]
The bad guys were Godzilla,
474
00:23:05,967 --> 00:23:09,054
their guilt and execution
a predetermined fate.
475
00:23:09,096 --> 00:23:12,933
So, you killed Godzilla
in cold blood?
476
00:23:13,850 --> 00:23:15,811
Well, I had to, lady.
He's a reptile.
477
00:23:15,852 --> 00:23:17,562
[whistling tune]
478
00:23:17,604 --> 00:23:19,606
[Richard] You're in such
a deadly serious business.
479
00:23:20,232 --> 00:23:22,317
You got to have
a sense of humor about this,
480
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,277
'cause if you don't,
you'll go stark raving mad.
481
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:26,947
What is comedy?
482
00:23:26,988 --> 00:23:30,242
Webster's Dictionary
defines "comedy"
483
00:23:30,283 --> 00:23:32,452
as "that form of
entertainment..."
484
00:23:32,494 --> 00:23:33,829
[muffled mumbling]
485
00:23:35,497 --> 00:23:39,126
I think maybe a part of
my attraction to Richard
486
00:23:39,167 --> 00:23:42,963
is the fact that
I've always been a fan of opera.
487
00:23:43,004 --> 00:23:45,465
He is a truly
operatic character.
488
00:23:45,507 --> 00:23:48,051
[Ramin] What is the name
of the Richard Davis opera?
489
00:23:48,093 --> 00:23:49,928
Um...
490
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:51,179
Boom.
491
00:23:54,766 --> 00:23:56,726
solemn music
492
00:23:59,896 --> 00:24:02,482
[Richard] I betrayed
my wonderful wife Karen.
493
00:24:02,524 --> 00:24:04,484
It's the biggest regret
of my life.
494
00:24:05,485 --> 00:24:07,779
[chuckles]
Oh, no.
495
00:24:08,697 --> 00:24:11,324
Uh, yeah,
it was pure hedonistic.
496
00:24:12,325 --> 00:24:13,535
Kathleen.
497
00:24:13,577 --> 00:24:15,328
Wow, killer body.
498
00:24:15,370 --> 00:24:18,832
She's a very, uh, artistic--
She has great, great talent.
499
00:24:18,874 --> 00:24:21,543
She can do an imitation of
Elmer Fudd reading pornography
500
00:24:21,585 --> 00:24:22,836
that will put you on the floor
501
00:24:22,878 --> 00:24:24,546
with tears
in your eyes laughing.
502
00:24:24,588 --> 00:24:26,173
[imitating Elmer Fudd]
"I was stunned out of my head
503
00:24:26,214 --> 00:24:29,134
about her naked body." [laughs]
504
00:24:31,052 --> 00:24:34,014
We just-- I don't know.
Richard's a lot.
505
00:24:34,055 --> 00:24:36,016
Richard's a lot. [laughs]
506
00:24:36,057 --> 00:24:37,809
[whip cracks]
507
00:24:37,851 --> 00:24:39,644
We were divorced,
but I stayed in the company
508
00:24:39,686 --> 00:24:42,606
because I needed
to protect my interests.
509
00:24:42,647 --> 00:24:46,485
I began to appreciate
her difficulties immediately.
510
00:24:46,526 --> 00:24:48,820
Immediately.
511
00:24:48,862 --> 00:24:52,032
Richard desperately needs
to be loved by people.
512
00:24:52,073 --> 00:24:56,036
He has his minions,
his friends, his followers.
513
00:24:56,077 --> 00:24:59,623
For example,
Aaron Westrick loved Richard.
514
00:24:59,664 --> 00:25:02,125
[Ramin]
And did Richard love Aaron?
515
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:03,543
He loved him
516
00:25:03,585 --> 00:25:07,714
as one of his pet saves.
517
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:12,093
He loved him the way
someone would love a champ dog.
518
00:25:12,135 --> 00:25:14,304
I don't care what anybody says.
519
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:16,932
Aaron and Richard
were good friends.
520
00:25:16,973 --> 00:25:19,768
Their personalities
were somewhat similar
521
00:25:19,809 --> 00:25:21,228
with their level of energy,
522
00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:24,606
and Aaron, he was always moving.
523
00:25:24,648 --> 00:25:26,858
Talking, moving, something.
524
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:29,528
They understood each other.
525
00:25:31,071 --> 00:25:33,240
Richard, he was very generous.
526
00:25:33,281 --> 00:25:35,909
Aaron Westrick, 265.
527
00:25:37,827 --> 00:25:40,080
[Kim]
Take us out to eat, you know,
528
00:25:40,121 --> 00:25:42,082
take us out on his boat.
529
00:25:42,123 --> 00:25:45,418
Karen, you know,
she sent us baby gifts,
530
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:49,005
and, um, we all
kind of got pretty close.
531
00:25:49,047 --> 00:25:50,674
[Richard]
Our next video's gonna be,
532
00:25:50,715 --> 00:25:54,094
"Aaron Westrick,
Master of Criminal Justice."
533
00:25:54,135 --> 00:25:56,429
And-and perched on--
you'd be on a rock, see,
534
00:25:56,471 --> 00:25:58,098
in your superhero outfit
with the cape flowing.
535
00:25:58,139 --> 00:25:59,933
"I see a perpetrator!"
[imitates whirring]
536
00:25:59,975 --> 00:26:01,851
-You fly down. Okay.
-[men chuckling]
537
00:26:01,893 --> 00:26:03,562
[Aaron]
Richard called me on the phone.
538
00:26:03,603 --> 00:26:06,439
He said, "We want you to come
up here and work with us.
539
00:26:06,481 --> 00:26:08,608
You're-you're our best save."
540
00:26:08,650 --> 00:26:10,443
I remember those words,
"You're our best save."
541
00:26:10,485 --> 00:26:12,571
Aaron Westrick just mentioned
something off camera.
542
00:26:12,612 --> 00:26:14,155
Tell-tell the whole
police community in America,
543
00:26:14,197 --> 00:26:15,865
Aaron, what you just told me.
544
00:26:15,907 --> 00:26:18,410
[Aaron] At that point,
I would do marketing.
545
00:26:18,451 --> 00:26:20,704
For a while there,
we had a blast.
546
00:26:20,745 --> 00:26:22,789
Richard Davis here.
547
00:26:22,831 --> 00:26:27,168
I was kind of, uh,
his sidekick, in a way.
548
00:26:27,210 --> 00:26:29,045
Ah!
549
00:26:29,087 --> 00:26:30,463
[Aaron]
The executives telling me,
550
00:26:30,505 --> 00:26:33,967
"It's your job
to keep an eye on him."
551
00:26:35,927 --> 00:26:37,887
Years ago, when I was shot,
552
00:26:37,929 --> 00:26:39,723
I was released from
the hospital that night.
553
00:26:39,764 --> 00:26:41,600
The sheriff looked at me,
he said,
554
00:26:41,641 --> 00:26:43,059
"Son, you did a good job,
555
00:26:43,101 --> 00:26:45,061
but for 25 cents,
556
00:26:45,103 --> 00:26:47,147
you could've saved this county
a lot of money."
557
00:26:48,356 --> 00:26:50,317
[Ramin] What did that mean,
"for 25 cents"?
558
00:26:50,358 --> 00:26:53,153
A bullet,
another bullet cost 25 cents.
559
00:26:53,194 --> 00:26:55,405
I could've walked
over top of him and shot him.
560
00:26:55,447 --> 00:26:57,115
And I didn't do that.
561
00:26:57,157 --> 00:26:58,992
He quit firing...
562
00:26:59,034 --> 00:27:00,744
He hit me, I shot him back,
563
00:27:00,785 --> 00:27:02,954
he quit firing,
and I quit firing.
564
00:27:02,996 --> 00:27:05,832
I didn't stand over top of him
and execute him.
565
00:27:05,874 --> 00:27:07,334
Bad guys who shoot policemen
566
00:27:07,375 --> 00:27:09,836
are deliberately trying
to kill them.
567
00:27:09,878 --> 00:27:11,880
I think you get
a one-way ticket to hell,
568
00:27:11,921 --> 00:27:15,800
not life in prison or not,
uh, ten years on death row.
569
00:27:15,842 --> 00:27:18,637
Uh, right there, right there,
on the spot, dead.
570
00:27:18,678 --> 00:27:21,014
That's-that's my way
of doing it.
571
00:27:21,056 --> 00:27:22,849
Just got a call.
572
00:27:22,891 --> 00:27:27,812
A New York state trooper
has been shot. [chuckles]
573
00:27:27,854 --> 00:27:30,565
[Ramin] Richard had a policy
for police officers
574
00:27:30,607 --> 00:27:33,109
saved by a Second Chance vest.
575
00:27:33,151 --> 00:27:36,404
If they killed their shooter,
he would reward them with a gun.
576
00:27:36,446 --> 00:27:38,490
[man on phone] I took my gun
and fired back at him.
577
00:27:38,531 --> 00:27:39,991
Did you, did you kill him?
578
00:27:40,033 --> 00:27:42,077
No. Uh, he returned to the car.
579
00:27:42,118 --> 00:27:44,079
You know, he was moving back
at the time.
580
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:46,039
[Ramin]
But without the execution,
581
00:27:46,081 --> 00:27:48,041
there was no bounty.
582
00:27:48,083 --> 00:27:50,043
somber music
583
00:27:52,379 --> 00:27:55,048
[Kathleen] I think
Richard always saw himself
584
00:27:55,090 --> 00:27:57,550
as a person of destiny.
585
00:27:58,134 --> 00:28:01,554
Like Prometheus
bringing back something
586
00:28:01,596 --> 00:28:04,724
from the gods
to benefit humankind.
587
00:28:04,766 --> 00:28:07,519
In the struggle
between life and death,
588
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,396
he could tip the odds.
589
00:28:19,781 --> 00:28:21,741
mellow music
590
00:28:29,290 --> 00:28:31,292
[Ramin]
One of Richard's most haunting
591
00:28:31,334 --> 00:28:34,629
and strange transgressions
happened in 1990
592
00:28:34,671 --> 00:28:36,881
at the Second Chance Pin Shoot.
593
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:42,429
This annual shooting competition
594
00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:45,890
was a weeklong event
Richard staged on his property.
595
00:28:45,932 --> 00:28:48,268
It attracted
the best professional
596
00:28:48,309 --> 00:28:49,811
and amateur marksmen,
597
00:28:49,853 --> 00:28:51,104
even Olympians
from around the world.
598
00:28:53,857 --> 00:28:55,608
And Richard was the ringleader.
599
00:28:55,650 --> 00:28:58,570
[women squealing]
600
00:28:59,195 --> 00:29:02,031
[Tim Paczesny]
That was really fun as a kid.
601
00:29:02,073 --> 00:29:04,951
I, in fact, won
a very large Gurkha knife,
602
00:29:04,993 --> 00:29:06,828
which is about this big,
603
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:09,706
and, uh, I won it
as a 12-year-old.
604
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:12,041
And, you know, my parents
had to sign t-to take it,
605
00:29:12,083 --> 00:29:13,960
but I won it 'cause I knew
the answer to the question,
606
00:29:14,002 --> 00:29:16,171
which was,
"What's the name of this knife?"
607
00:29:16,212 --> 00:29:17,505
And it was a Gurkha.
608
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:19,883
And, uh, it's actually
a killing knife.
609
00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:23,970
[onlookers cheering]
610
00:29:24,012 --> 00:29:26,014
Richard Davis was an icon.
611
00:29:26,055 --> 00:29:28,933
He was the most powerful person.
612
00:29:28,975 --> 00:29:30,810
You know, he was the guy
that employed
613
00:29:30,852 --> 00:29:32,562
80% of the town.
614
00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:34,898
And, uh, for me,
somebody to look up to
615
00:29:34,939 --> 00:29:38,318
as somebody that you might
want to be someday.
616
00:29:39,903 --> 00:29:42,405
When I was 16,
I made a bad choice.
617
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:45,241
I was out drinking
with some friends.
618
00:29:45,283 --> 00:29:47,160
We had pulled behind the school
619
00:29:47,202 --> 00:29:49,537
and basically said, "Hey, let's
go in and do a senior prank."
620
00:29:49,579 --> 00:29:51,790
I threw around some stuff.
621
00:29:51,831 --> 00:29:53,833
I broke some stuff.
622
00:29:53,875 --> 00:29:58,046
It was, uh, life-changing
for me at that age.
623
00:29:59,005 --> 00:30:01,382
And it has to do with
this right here.
624
00:30:03,218 --> 00:30:05,136
And that's what started
the next part
625
00:30:05,178 --> 00:30:07,055
of Richard's bad decision.
626
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,434
"Police apprehend
Central Lake vandal suspects,"
627
00:30:11,476 --> 00:30:13,269
which is me. [sniffs]
628
00:30:13,311 --> 00:30:17,190
But right above this is
another title of a article about
629
00:30:17,232 --> 00:30:19,859
Richard Davis's company
and himself,
630
00:30:19,901 --> 00:30:23,613
and it says, "Bullet found
in Central Lake woman's home."
631
00:30:24,739 --> 00:30:26,950
During Richard Davis's
Pin Shoot,
632
00:30:26,991 --> 00:30:30,370
a bullet ricocheted
and flew through the woods
633
00:30:30,411 --> 00:30:33,498
into this lady's home
through a window.
634
00:30:33,540 --> 00:30:35,625
And, uh, she then, I guess,
635
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:37,710
proceeded to have a heart attack
or have some problems
636
00:30:37,752 --> 00:30:39,295
where she thought
she was having a heart attack,
637
00:30:39,337 --> 00:30:41,589
and they had to bring in
a flight and take her.
638
00:30:41,631 --> 00:30:43,675
And so there was money
that was gonna be involved.
639
00:30:43,716 --> 00:30:48,429
Richard saw the articles
and wanted to contact me.
640
00:30:49,973 --> 00:30:54,978
Thus his bad decision began
and took us down a crazy road.
641
00:30:56,437 --> 00:30:58,398
pensive music
642
00:31:00,441 --> 00:31:02,360
He picks me up
in his Mercedes-Benz,
643
00:31:02,402 --> 00:31:05,905
and he takes me for a drive
back to his back property.
644
00:31:05,947 --> 00:31:08,408
And it's way through the woods.
645
00:31:08,449 --> 00:31:10,326
There's one way in, one way out.
646
00:31:10,368 --> 00:31:13,580
And along the way,
he started telling me this story
647
00:31:13,621 --> 00:31:15,415
about these problems
that I'm having
648
00:31:15,456 --> 00:31:19,377
and these problems he's having
and how they might correlate.
649
00:31:19,419 --> 00:31:23,214
And he said,
"Well, you know what I think?
650
00:31:23,256 --> 00:31:27,427
I think you might've
got this crazy idea
651
00:31:27,468 --> 00:31:30,597
to just go
on a crazy vandalism spree
652
00:31:30,638 --> 00:31:33,057
and go shoot a bullet
through this lady's window.
653
00:31:33,099 --> 00:31:34,934
You rode your bike
or whatever up there,
654
00:31:34,976 --> 00:31:38,855
took a slingshot and shot
this bullet through the window."
655
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:42,859
And I was like,
"Why would I do that?"
656
00:31:42,901 --> 00:31:45,361
And he just said,
"My company could get sued
657
00:31:45,403 --> 00:31:47,447
for millions of dollars."
658
00:31:48,823 --> 00:31:51,117
And he said, "Well, I would
like to be your godfather.
659
00:31:51,159 --> 00:31:52,493
What are you gonna do?"
660
00:31:52,535 --> 00:31:54,120
You know, "What are you
gonna do in life?
661
00:31:54,162 --> 00:31:55,830
Are you gonna go to college?
I can take care of you."
662
00:31:55,872 --> 00:31:57,624
I believe this is
the same time he showed me
663
00:31:57,665 --> 00:31:59,834
what he called flash money.
664
00:31:59,876 --> 00:32:01,920
And, uh, it was
a stack of money.
665
00:32:01,961 --> 00:32:05,465
He said, "That-that could
eventually be yours."
666
00:32:05,506 --> 00:32:06,799
When I got to my side of the car
667
00:32:06,841 --> 00:32:08,176
and he got to his side
of the car,
668
00:32:08,217 --> 00:32:10,386
he looked across
the top of his...
669
00:32:10,428 --> 00:32:12,388
I believe it was, like,
a lime green Mercedes.
670
00:32:12,430 --> 00:32:14,432
He looked right at me
and he said,
671
00:32:14,474 --> 00:32:19,270
"Listen, if you tell anyone,
I will kill you."
672
00:32:21,105 --> 00:32:23,483
[dog barking]
673
00:32:23,524 --> 00:32:25,151
Once my dad heard that,
674
00:32:25,193 --> 00:32:27,445
he wanted to get a shotgun
and go get him.
675
00:32:27,487 --> 00:32:29,072
But of course,
676
00:32:29,113 --> 00:32:31,157
that shotgun wouldn't help
[laughs] with Richard.
677
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:35,828
You know, you need
an aircraft carrier.
678
00:32:35,870 --> 00:32:38,331
[rapid gunfire]
679
00:32:39,874 --> 00:32:42,418
[Ramin]
I want to ask you about Tim.
680
00:32:42,460 --> 00:32:44,087
Tim.
681
00:32:44,128 --> 00:32:46,839
Have you seen Tim
since this incident?
682
00:32:46,881 --> 00:32:48,007
No.
683
00:32:48,049 --> 00:32:50,176
Do you ever see him in town or--
684
00:32:50,218 --> 00:32:52,011
No. Uh, maybe.
685
00:32:52,053 --> 00:32:54,013
I never look for him, don't
really care about him anymore.
686
00:32:54,055 --> 00:32:56,307
Don't really care about him.
687
00:32:56,349 --> 00:32:59,519
dramatic music
688
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,896
[Tim] At that point,
I ended up going undercover
689
00:33:01,938 --> 00:33:03,690
for
Traverse City Narcotics Team.
690
00:33:03,731 --> 00:33:05,692
They came in, put a wire on me,
691
00:33:05,733 --> 00:33:09,237
and we had meetings,
and they explained, you know,
692
00:33:09,278 --> 00:33:11,072
"Whenever he calls,
set up a meeting,
693
00:33:11,114 --> 00:33:13,157
and, you know,
w-we'll go from there."
694
00:33:15,076 --> 00:33:17,620
Richard picked me up
in that green Mercedes,
695
00:33:17,662 --> 00:33:20,707
and we went out to, uh...
696
00:33:20,748 --> 00:33:22,250
I'm sorry,
I'm getting a little shaky
697
00:33:22,291 --> 00:33:24,961
'cause it just makes me
anxiety-ridden.
698
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:28,297
I got in the vehicle with him,
and when we parked,
699
00:33:28,339 --> 00:33:31,134
the very first thing he did
is looked at me
700
00:33:31,175 --> 00:33:34,554
and reached over
and started to pat me down.
701
00:33:34,595 --> 00:33:36,139
And, uh, I didn't know
what to do.
702
00:33:36,180 --> 00:33:38,307
I thought, "Oh, no."
703
00:33:38,349 --> 00:33:41,227
And then he touched my chest and
I knocked him off and I said,
704
00:33:41,269 --> 00:33:42,895
"What are you, a fag?"
705
00:33:42,937 --> 00:33:44,856
Because I know
that was the best thing
706
00:33:44,897 --> 00:33:47,191
for me to do at that moment.
707
00:33:47,233 --> 00:33:50,361
And, uh, he said, "No, no,
I'm just paranoid, paranoid."
708
00:33:50,403 --> 00:33:52,196
You know? And, um...
709
00:33:52,238 --> 00:33:55,241
After that,
he never touched me again.
710
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:59,078
pensive music
711
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,247
[Ramin] Richard was charged
with obstruction of justice
712
00:34:01,289 --> 00:34:04,208
and a weapons possession felony.
713
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:06,586
He was able to plead the charges
down to a misdemeanor,
714
00:34:06,627 --> 00:34:08,337
pay a fine,
715
00:34:08,379 --> 00:34:11,424
and avoid a mandatory
two-year prison sentence.
716
00:34:12,383 --> 00:34:15,970
His Mercedes-Benz was impounded.
717
00:34:16,012 --> 00:34:19,182
[Tim] With Richard Davis
being the most powerful person
718
00:34:19,223 --> 00:34:21,809
in the town, it's a lot easier
in your mind to say,
719
00:34:21,851 --> 00:34:23,352
"Oh, that kid's lying
and he did it,"
720
00:34:23,394 --> 00:34:25,104
but not look any further
721
00:34:25,146 --> 00:34:27,607
because that man's paying
your salary.
722
00:34:27,648 --> 00:34:29,901
[Ramin] And what did your mom
and dad think at that time?
723
00:34:29,942 --> 00:34:32,945
Oh, uh, it was horrible.
724
00:34:32,987 --> 00:34:37,450
[voice breaking] My mom worked
at the local grocery store.
725
00:34:38,451 --> 00:34:40,745
She had to quit.
726
00:34:40,787 --> 00:34:42,288
[sniffling]
727
00:34:43,247 --> 00:34:44,916
Sorry.
728
00:34:44,957 --> 00:34:47,293
But I was very...
729
00:34:47,335 --> 00:34:49,545
brought a lot of shame
on my family.
730
00:34:56,010 --> 00:34:58,221
[Richard] I regret
ever speaking to the guy.
731
00:34:58,262 --> 00:34:59,972
I never sh-should've
said anything.
732
00:35:00,014 --> 00:35:01,641
And, uh, I was wrong.
733
00:35:01,682 --> 00:35:03,059
I was, I was wrong to, uh,
734
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:04,477
try to investigate
the thing on my own.
735
00:35:04,519 --> 00:35:06,479
I shouldn't have done that,
but, uh...
736
00:35:06,521 --> 00:35:09,148
that's another inglorious
misstep there, really.
737
00:35:11,818 --> 00:35:13,528
Okay, little lower. Cock it up.
738
00:35:13,569 --> 00:35:15,321
[David Zeman]
Richard Davis made a career
739
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:18,241
out of promoting his-his
protection of law enforcement
740
00:35:18,282 --> 00:35:20,576
and people who put themselves
at risk every day.
741
00:35:20,618 --> 00:35:23,663
But in his actions,
when push came to shove,
742
00:35:23,704 --> 00:35:25,706
he was more about
protecting himself.
743
00:35:29,919 --> 00:35:32,463
[Ramin] Did you ever
meet Richard in person?
744
00:35:32,505 --> 00:35:34,132
[David] No.
Neither he nor his attorneys
745
00:35:34,173 --> 00:35:35,967
would talk with us.
746
00:35:36,008 --> 00:35:38,803
But we were able to get
a lot of deposition testimony
747
00:35:38,845 --> 00:35:41,764
from him
and some of his colleagues.
748
00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:43,266
[Ramin]
Can you please read this?
749
00:35:43,307 --> 00:35:44,517
I'll read a section of it.
750
00:35:44,559 --> 00:35:46,394
This section here.
751
00:35:48,396 --> 00:35:50,523
Oh, that's from that stupid
Detroit News article.
752
00:35:50,565 --> 00:35:52,191
Which, uh...
753
00:35:52,233 --> 00:35:54,569
Ah. Oh, man.
754
00:35:55,528 --> 00:35:57,238
This is all, God...
755
00:35:59,323 --> 00:36:02,118
[David]
We followed the police reports,
756
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,037
and he always seems
to escape un-unscathed
757
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:07,874
and throw everyone else
under the bus around him.
758
00:36:10,376 --> 00:36:11,836
[crowd cheering]
759
00:36:11,878 --> 00:36:13,504
Richard Davis
had been putting on
760
00:36:13,546 --> 00:36:15,464
firework displays every summer.
761
00:36:15,506 --> 00:36:20,344
At the display in 1997,
something tragic happened.
762
00:36:20,386 --> 00:36:22,763
One of the canisters
that had the fireworks
763
00:36:22,805 --> 00:36:24,432
exploded on the ground,
764
00:36:24,473 --> 00:36:26,309
and shrapnel just, uh,
went all over the place.
765
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:28,394
[crowd screaming]
766
00:36:29,979 --> 00:36:33,065
[Kathleen]
People were screaming.
767
00:36:33,107 --> 00:36:35,526
And one lost an arm and a leg,
768
00:36:35,568 --> 00:36:38,613
and another one was killed
in front of his children.
769
00:36:38,654 --> 00:36:40,615
I said apologizing
would've been an insult,
770
00:36:40,656 --> 00:36:42,116
you know what I'm saying?
"Oh, please forgive me
771
00:36:42,158 --> 00:36:43,659
for killing your husband there."
You know?
772
00:36:43,701 --> 00:36:45,494
And you can't...
773
00:36:45,536 --> 00:36:48,706
You know, I wish I could
push a button, do it over again.
774
00:36:49,332 --> 00:36:52,376
We had the empty boxes
we took the shells out of.
775
00:36:52,418 --> 00:36:54,420
There's all this Chinese writing
all over it.
776
00:36:54,462 --> 00:36:56,005
Well, we finally get
somebody to translate it
777
00:36:56,047 --> 00:36:57,673
and look up in China,
778
00:36:57,715 --> 00:37:00,593
and there was no such company
and no such address.
779
00:37:01,636 --> 00:37:03,262
These people knew
they're making crap
780
00:37:03,304 --> 00:37:05,431
and th-they're
deliberately disguising it.
781
00:37:05,473 --> 00:37:07,391
And everybody's pointing at me
like it's my fault, so--
782
00:37:07,433 --> 00:37:09,268
Well, that-that's America
for you.
783
00:37:10,269 --> 00:37:12,897
[David]
He was charged with felonies.
784
00:37:12,939 --> 00:37:16,692
I-I believe those were
bargained down as well.
785
00:37:16,734 --> 00:37:18,444
And from what we found
in the court records
786
00:37:18,486 --> 00:37:21,739
up in Northern Michigan
is what led us back to Detroit
787
00:37:21,781 --> 00:37:24,367
and the incident
with the pizza shop.
788
00:37:24,408 --> 00:37:26,244
[Tim]
He had a business,
789
00:37:26,285 --> 00:37:29,163
and, uh, he explained
that he burnt this business
790
00:37:29,205 --> 00:37:32,166
for the money
to finance the next business.
791
00:37:32,208 --> 00:37:36,254
And, um, that's on tape
somewhere in some transcript
792
00:37:36,295 --> 00:37:38,297
because I was wired
when that was said.
793
00:37:39,298 --> 00:37:41,175
[Ramin]
We searched for Tim's wire
794
00:37:41,217 --> 00:37:43,344
but were told by
Traverse City Police
795
00:37:43,386 --> 00:37:46,138
that it had been
disposed of years ago.
796
00:37:47,098 --> 00:37:50,184
On December 31, 1969,
797
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:54,313
Richard took out $5,000 worth
of insurance on his pizzerias.
798
00:37:54,355 --> 00:37:57,650
Six days later,
they burned down.
799
00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:01,445
But when I pressed Richard
on the arson again,
800
00:38:01,487 --> 00:38:03,739
his answer was the same.
801
00:38:03,781 --> 00:38:06,826
[Richard] Everybody assumed
that I had insurance on it.
802
00:38:06,867 --> 00:38:08,244
They're running around
all over the place.
803
00:38:08,286 --> 00:38:10,371
Well, if you find
an insurance policy,
804
00:38:10,413 --> 00:38:12,373
[laughs] I'll split the money
with you, pal, okay?
805
00:38:12,415 --> 00:38:13,833
I just ain't got one.
806
00:38:13,874 --> 00:38:15,668
And, yeah, that drives me nuts.
807
00:38:15,710 --> 00:38:17,211
F-Fifty years later,
808
00:38:17,253 --> 00:38:18,129
I'm still being asked
about this, you know.
809
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:19,505
Good God Almighty.
810
00:38:25,303 --> 00:38:27,346
[Tim] How could somebody
that I thought was
811
00:38:27,388 --> 00:38:29,932
a savior of people be somebody
812
00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:33,060
that's not on the other end
when no one's around?
813
00:38:34,687 --> 00:38:38,065
I think we all have
that particle potential.
814
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:40,651
I-I'm beginning to study,
815
00:38:40,693 --> 00:38:44,655
uh, Taoism and-and
some ancient philosophies.
816
00:38:44,697 --> 00:38:46,157
And I think
it's like the yin yang.
817
00:38:46,198 --> 00:38:48,159
Life is right smack
in the middle,
818
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,244
and the yin and the yang
are good and bad.
819
00:38:50,286 --> 00:38:53,080
All our lives, we're gonna
have good and bad come at us.
820
00:38:53,122 --> 00:38:56,042
Richard Davis's and my life
was a bad situation,
821
00:38:56,083 --> 00:38:57,418
but he was a positive thing
822
00:38:57,460 --> 00:38:58,794
in the other end
of the yin and yang
823
00:38:58,836 --> 00:39:00,671
in a lot of people's lives.
824
00:39:00,713 --> 00:39:03,382
He saved those people's lives
with those bulletproof vests.
825
00:39:03,424 --> 00:39:06,886
So, um, the question is
at the end of the day:
826
00:39:06,927 --> 00:39:08,721
When they put you in the ground,
827
00:39:08,763 --> 00:39:10,931
how big-- what does
your yin yang look like?
828
00:39:10,973 --> 00:39:13,351
Is there more good or more bad?
829
00:39:13,392 --> 00:39:15,061
I'm hoping
that mine has more good.
830
00:39:15,102 --> 00:39:16,562
That's my goal.
831
00:39:29,158 --> 00:39:30,534
I'm alone now.
832
00:39:30,576 --> 00:39:32,536
The camera's running
automatically.
833
00:39:33,996 --> 00:39:36,832
This is where you're gonna be
when you die, alone.
834
00:39:36,874 --> 00:39:39,919
No matter if there's
a thousand people around you,
835
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,754
you're gonna be alone.
836
00:39:41,796 --> 00:39:43,756
[Ramin] Richard deleted
this scene from his film.
837
00:39:43,798 --> 00:39:46,342
He said it was too mushy.
838
00:39:46,384 --> 00:39:50,679
Here, imagining his own death,
he gives a final soliloquy
839
00:39:50,721 --> 00:39:53,265
to the police officers
he hopes to save.
840
00:39:53,307 --> 00:39:55,434
[Richard on video]
I'm scared now,
841
00:39:55,476 --> 00:39:58,187
so damn scared I can feel it,
842
00:39:58,229 --> 00:40:00,356
because I know
843
00:40:00,398 --> 00:40:02,900
that how well
this has been presented to you
844
00:40:02,942 --> 00:40:05,027
is going to determine
845
00:40:05,069 --> 00:40:08,322
whether or not many of you
will live or die.
846
00:40:09,990 --> 00:40:12,993
[Ramin] Richard,
why do you have this burden?
847
00:40:14,662 --> 00:40:16,414
[exhales heavily]
Because I can do it.
848
00:40:16,455 --> 00:40:18,457
I can save these people.
849
00:40:18,499 --> 00:40:19,959
And, uh...
850
00:40:21,335 --> 00:40:23,963
...if I don't, uh, it feels,
851
00:40:24,004 --> 00:40:25,548
you know, to some degree
it's my fault.
852
00:40:25,589 --> 00:40:27,383
I didn't make the vests
light enough
853
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:30,302
or [sighs] maybe if
I would've shot one...
854
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:33,806
...would've got shot
some-some other time,
855
00:40:33,848 --> 00:40:35,307
a couple more times
or something,
856
00:40:35,349 --> 00:40:36,642
maybe that would've made
a difference to somebody.
857
00:40:36,684 --> 00:40:38,727
And, uh...
858
00:40:38,769 --> 00:40:39,812
[sighs]
859
00:40:41,439 --> 00:40:43,315
My dad warned me.
860
00:40:43,357 --> 00:40:47,653
He says, "There's gonna be times
when you don't save the guy."
861
00:40:47,695 --> 00:40:51,866
Oh, gee, you know,
just the... [groans]
862
00:40:51,907 --> 00:40:53,951
That's the way it is.
863
00:40:53,993 --> 00:40:56,996
Just, uh... go on
and save the next guy.
864
00:40:57,037 --> 00:40:59,290
Just don't-don't sit there
and moan about it.
865
00:40:59,331 --> 00:41:00,791
Just-- you can't.
866
00:41:00,833 --> 00:41:02,543
pensive music
867
00:41:04,211 --> 00:41:05,546
Historically,
body armor would not
868
00:41:05,588 --> 00:41:07,465
have saved President Lincoln.
869
00:41:08,466 --> 00:41:10,676
It would not have saved
John F. Kennedy.
870
00:41:13,179 --> 00:41:15,222
Would've saved George Wallace.
871
00:41:17,725 --> 00:41:19,935
Would've saved Malcolm X.
872
00:41:19,977 --> 00:41:21,520
[gunshot]
873
00:41:21,562 --> 00:41:22,855
And probably would've saved
half the people
874
00:41:22,897 --> 00:41:24,857
at the Battle of Gettysburg.
875
00:41:27,318 --> 00:41:28,903
You know, what if?
876
00:41:30,237 --> 00:41:32,490
My dad was in the Marines.
877
00:41:32,531 --> 00:41:36,368
February 1945, news was full
of stories about this island,
878
00:41:36,410 --> 00:41:38,871
Iwo Jima, where hundreds
and then thousands of casualties
879
00:41:38,913 --> 00:41:41,123
were being taken every day.
Every day.
880
00:41:41,165 --> 00:41:43,375
[Ramin]
Were they wearing body armor?
881
00:41:43,417 --> 00:41:45,211
[Richard]
No, none at all.
882
00:41:45,252 --> 00:41:48,297
My dad's best friend,
on the first day of Iwo Jima,
883
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:51,717
a mortar shell came down
and blew the guy to bits.
884
00:41:51,759 --> 00:41:53,219
And, uh, my dad
had to spend the night
885
00:41:53,260 --> 00:41:56,764
with, uh, pieces
of his best friend, um,
886
00:41:56,805 --> 00:41:59,266
right around, right around
the foxhole, I think.
887
00:41:59,308 --> 00:42:01,185
Um...
888
00:42:01,227 --> 00:42:04,772
Then he had nothing else better
to do on this little island
889
00:42:04,813 --> 00:42:07,233
than go on
a five-week killing spree.
890
00:42:09,735 --> 00:42:11,570
[Ramin]
Richard told me his first memory
891
00:42:11,612 --> 00:42:13,072
was sitting on the porch swing
892
00:42:13,113 --> 00:42:15,407
between his mother
and grandmother,
893
00:42:15,449 --> 00:42:17,368
waiting for
the unthinkable horror
894
00:42:17,409 --> 00:42:20,746
of the gray Navy staff car
coming with death notices.
895
00:42:22,248 --> 00:42:26,085
For six weeks, they sat there,
until the sun went down,
896
00:42:26,126 --> 00:42:29,088
and he knew
his father had survived.
897
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:34,510
When his father returned home,
he never spoke of the war.
898
00:42:36,095 --> 00:42:38,931
Richard, however,
spoke of it often.
899
00:42:38,973 --> 00:42:43,227
Perhaps he created his persona,
real and fictional,
900
00:42:43,269 --> 00:42:45,854
on an experience
he had never had,
901
00:42:45,896 --> 00:42:48,107
his life more like an echo.
902
00:42:54,655 --> 00:42:55,948
So, we grew up with the war.
903
00:42:55,990 --> 00:42:58,450
That was a,
you know, a good war.
904
00:42:58,492 --> 00:43:00,286
They say that World War II
was the last good war,
905
00:43:00,327 --> 00:43:02,121
where the-the bad guys
were really bad
906
00:43:02,162 --> 00:43:04,290
and the good guys
were really good. [laughs]
907
00:43:04,331 --> 00:43:05,833
And now it gets so muddled
908
00:43:05,874 --> 00:43:08,794
and, uh, twisted around
and everything.
909
00:43:10,462 --> 00:43:12,673
[Ramin]
Richard enlisted in the Marines,
910
00:43:12,715 --> 00:43:16,010
but unlike his father,
he was never deployed.
911
00:43:16,051 --> 00:43:18,887
Did you have a lot to prove
to your father growing up?
912
00:43:18,929 --> 00:43:21,515
Yeah, I-I, uh...
913
00:43:21,557 --> 00:43:25,728
had a hard time, you know,
getting approval, I...
914
00:43:25,769 --> 00:43:28,147
mainly 'cause, uh, you know,
915
00:43:28,188 --> 00:43:31,150
I-I couldn't go to Iwo Jima
or anything, you know, so...
916
00:43:31,191 --> 00:43:34,486
Uh, very high, very high bar
there, you know?
917
00:43:35,112 --> 00:43:38,115
Only a few times where I've been
shot by somebody else.
918
00:43:38,157 --> 00:43:40,993
And this just sounds really,
boy, soldier of fortune here,
919
00:43:41,035 --> 00:43:43,954
but I wanted somebody
who's coldblooded enough
920
00:43:43,996 --> 00:43:45,831
that he's not gonna go, "Oh,"
flinch away at the last second,
921
00:43:45,873 --> 00:43:46,999
blow my elbow off, you know.
922
00:43:47,041 --> 00:43:48,917
So this is my father.
923
00:43:48,959 --> 00:43:53,505
Uh, last time he shot a man
was on a place called Iwo Jima.
924
00:43:54,465 --> 00:43:56,091
Right over here.
Right-- oh, whoa, whoa.
925
00:43:56,133 --> 00:43:57,092
[laughs]
926
00:43:57,134 --> 00:43:58,552
Uh, let it go, Dad.
927
00:43:59,637 --> 00:44:00,929
Unload 'em.
928
00:44:12,524 --> 00:44:13,817
Okay.
929
00:44:13,859 --> 00:44:15,235
You'll get the idea. One more.
930
00:44:15,277 --> 00:44:16,528
That's good.
931
00:44:16,570 --> 00:44:18,030
[Ramin]
Despite Richard's pleas,
932
00:44:18,072 --> 00:44:20,407
his father could not
stop shooting,
933
00:44:20,449 --> 00:44:24,036
in a silent trance,
firing over and over...
934
00:44:25,829 --> 00:44:28,582
...ultimately shooting
at his son's groin.
935
00:44:35,381 --> 00:44:37,633
[Matt Davis] My grandfather
was a great salesman,
936
00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:39,593
a great leader.
937
00:44:40,177 --> 00:44:45,057
And he played a huge role
in my father's success
938
00:44:45,099 --> 00:44:47,393
in building Second Chance.
939
00:44:48,394 --> 00:44:52,898
Because my father
has no filter, um,
940
00:44:52,940 --> 00:44:54,983
I think my grandfather
played an important role
941
00:44:55,025 --> 00:44:57,027
in helping to keep my dad
kind of focused
942
00:44:57,069 --> 00:44:59,154
and on the right path.
943
00:45:04,201 --> 00:45:05,411
[phone ringing]
944
00:45:05,452 --> 00:45:07,037
He pretty much ran the office
945
00:45:07,079 --> 00:45:09,998
and built
the sales organization.
946
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,209
He was also tough as nails.
947
00:45:12,835 --> 00:45:15,129
One time, my dad said,
"Your grandfather and I
948
00:45:15,170 --> 00:45:16,964
want to have
a conversation with you.
949
00:45:17,005 --> 00:45:18,757
What do you want to do
when you get out of school?"
950
00:45:18,799 --> 00:45:20,384
I said, "Well, I was
thinking about going to college
951
00:45:20,426 --> 00:45:22,886
and then going to med school."
952
00:45:22,928 --> 00:45:25,973
And my grandfather
has a glass of bourbon
953
00:45:26,014 --> 00:45:27,558
or whiskey or something,
954
00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:31,103
and he just slams it down
on this glass table.
955
00:45:31,145 --> 00:45:32,521
Bam!
956
00:45:32,563 --> 00:45:34,481
And he looks at me
and he goes, "Business!"
957
00:45:34,523 --> 00:45:35,566
Just like that.
958
00:45:35,607 --> 00:45:38,110
soft music
959
00:45:42,448 --> 00:45:44,116
[Aaron]
I've always thought to myself
960
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,118
that his father was
961
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,078
his moral compass.
962
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,955
I think peop-- other executives
963
00:45:49,997 --> 00:45:51,582
within the company
knew that, too.
964
00:45:51,623 --> 00:45:53,292
They were thinking, you know,
965
00:45:53,333 --> 00:45:55,794
"Oh, we got to reel him in
a little bit. Get his dad."
966
00:45:56,420 --> 00:45:59,840
When he passed away,
I think Second Chance changed.
967
00:46:00,966 --> 00:46:02,426
[Ramin]
Richard's father
968
00:46:02,468 --> 00:46:04,928
cast a large shadow
over his life,
969
00:46:04,970 --> 00:46:08,182
so I can imagine his legacy
looming over Richard
970
00:46:08,223 --> 00:46:12,269
when he arrived in that
dark alleyway in Detroit in 1970
971
00:46:12,311 --> 00:46:14,313
with two large pizzas.
972
00:46:18,108 --> 00:46:20,486
When investigative journalists
in Detroit
973
00:46:20,527 --> 00:46:22,738
looked into
Richard's origin story,
974
00:46:22,780 --> 00:46:24,448
they could not find any proof
975
00:46:24,490 --> 00:46:26,658
the alleyway shooting
had happened.
976
00:46:35,459 --> 00:46:37,795
Matt and I, we searched
through all the records.
977
00:46:37,836 --> 00:46:40,255
We found a, we found a copy
of the Detroit police report,
978
00:46:40,297 --> 00:46:42,466
and we sent it to the-- I sent,
979
00:46:42,508 --> 00:46:44,092
I sent it to the reporters
at the Detroit News
980
00:46:44,134 --> 00:46:46,386
with a "fuck you" note
or something and whatever.
981
00:46:46,428 --> 00:46:48,639
I don't know. Idiots, you know.
And there it is.
982
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,974
They-they never, they never
printed a correction, of course.
983
00:46:51,016 --> 00:46:52,851
[Ramin]
May I see that?
984
00:46:52,893 --> 00:46:55,020
Jesus. Uh...
985
00:46:56,146 --> 00:46:57,523
Whew.
986
00:46:57,564 --> 00:46:59,107
Ah, boy, I-I don't--
987
00:46:59,149 --> 00:47:00,818
Matt might have--
M-Matt might have saved it.
988
00:47:00,859 --> 00:47:02,069
Saves a lot of stuff.
He might have it.
989
00:47:03,195 --> 00:47:05,948
[Ramin] His son Matt
did not have a copy.
990
00:47:05,989 --> 00:47:10,285
We found a low-resolution one
in an obscure gun forum online,
991
00:47:10,327 --> 00:47:13,580
but we could not verify
if it was real.
992
00:47:13,622 --> 00:47:16,708
I asked Richard
if it was all a fabrication.
993
00:47:16,750 --> 00:47:18,710
[laughs]
No, I'm not making it up.
994
00:47:18,752 --> 00:47:20,796
And, oh, oh, I got one for you.
995
00:47:20,838 --> 00:47:22,798
Uh, geez.
996
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,508
The wedding book
or wedding pictures.
997
00:47:24,550 --> 00:47:26,635
My wedding pictures, okay?
998
00:47:26,677 --> 00:47:27,886
You see me
in the wedding pictures,
999
00:47:27,928 --> 00:47:29,096
scar's right here,
stitches, right?
1000
00:47:29,137 --> 00:47:30,889
Still in stitches.
1001
00:47:33,141 --> 00:47:34,434
[Ramin]
When I look at this photo,
1002
00:47:34,476 --> 00:47:36,144
I do not see a scar.
1003
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:38,522
I see a cowlick in his eyebrow.
1004
00:47:39,106 --> 00:47:42,943
And frustratingly,
in all the other wedding photos,
1005
00:47:42,985 --> 00:47:45,070
the evidence is
turned away from us,
1006
00:47:45,112 --> 00:47:47,739
obscured, hidden from view.
1007
00:47:52,870 --> 00:47:55,289
[Aaron]
And not only was it me getting
1008
00:47:55,330 --> 00:47:58,542
fooled, perhaps, it was, like,
everybody. [chuckles]
1009
00:47:58,584 --> 00:48:00,168
And perhaps I'm blocking it
1010
00:48:00,210 --> 00:48:02,838
because I... I really don't
want to believe anything
1011
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,590
but the myth.
1012
00:48:06,300 --> 00:48:08,343
The legend.
1013
00:48:19,104 --> 00:48:22,566
[Kathleen] Richard strikes me
as being a narcissist.
1014
00:48:22,608 --> 00:48:25,652
His mind never turns off.
1015
00:48:25,694 --> 00:48:29,281
He thinks out loud,
and that was a problem.
1016
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,077
Richard could never be quiet.
1017
00:48:34,119 --> 00:48:36,496
[laughs]
He just never could be quiet.
1018
00:48:41,251 --> 00:48:45,589
You come out of this gorgeous
woods to this... just
1019
00:48:45,631 --> 00:48:49,551
back range where
they would test explosives.
1020
00:48:49,593 --> 00:48:51,970
And they're running
big .50-cal machine guns.
1021
00:48:52,596 --> 00:48:55,098
Boom-de-boom-de-boom.
Shakes the china cupboard
1022
00:48:55,140 --> 00:48:57,184
all the way up by my house.
1023
00:49:05,442 --> 00:49:07,611
Richard and his followers
1024
00:49:07,653 --> 00:49:09,863
who come up here
and blow things up,
1025
00:49:09,905 --> 00:49:12,991
it's as though the profane
had been plunked down
1026
00:49:13,033 --> 00:49:14,785
in the center of the sacred.
1027
00:49:14,826 --> 00:49:16,954
dramatic music
1028
00:49:24,169 --> 00:49:26,296
They don't see it.
1029
00:49:26,338 --> 00:49:28,757
They don't see it,
all these people coming up and,
1030
00:49:28,799 --> 00:49:30,467
"Oh, I love to go out in nature
1031
00:49:30,509 --> 00:49:32,177
and camp out
and stuff like that."
1032
00:49:34,096 --> 00:49:36,098
There's nothing left behind them
1033
00:49:36,139 --> 00:49:39,851
but smoke and smell
and destruction.
1034
00:49:42,521 --> 00:49:45,524
There's nothing really creative
or reparative about it.
1035
00:49:45,565 --> 00:49:47,651
[rapid gunfire]
1036
00:49:52,155 --> 00:49:54,741
The world would probably be
better off without people,
1037
00:49:54,783 --> 00:49:57,786
and that's probably
what's going to happen.
1038
00:49:57,828 --> 00:50:01,665
I-I believe that it will,
the way we're going now.
1039
00:50:01,707 --> 00:50:05,961
Um, I think
that we'll become extinct,
1040
00:50:06,003 --> 00:50:10,132
and then the world will heal
after we're gone.
1041
00:50:10,173 --> 00:50:12,718
-[clamoring]
-[sirens wailing]
1042
00:50:18,181 --> 00:50:19,891
[helicopter whirring]
1043
00:50:19,933 --> 00:50:22,519
[Richard] On 9/11,
I came into the factory.
1044
00:50:22,561 --> 00:50:24,730
On the TV set,
one tower is burning there.
1045
00:50:24,771 --> 00:50:25,897
For a few minutes there,
I was thinking
1046
00:50:25,939 --> 00:50:27,691
it was an accident, you know.
1047
00:50:27,733 --> 00:50:29,484
And then [imitates plane crash]
comes the second one.
1048
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:31,903
I said, "We're gonna get busy."
1049
00:50:33,864 --> 00:50:35,407
This is gonna mean doves
1050
00:50:35,449 --> 00:50:36,908
are gonna turn into hawks,
1051
00:50:36,950 --> 00:50:39,077
and hawks are gonna
turn into vampires.
1052
00:50:40,412 --> 00:50:42,247
America united like that was
1053
00:50:42,289 --> 00:50:44,249
a really fearsome
international thing.
1054
00:50:44,291 --> 00:50:46,585
Everybody just, whoa--
you got a real superpower
1055
00:50:46,626 --> 00:50:48,253
that's not taking
a lot of bullshit from anybody.
1056
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:49,421
N-Nobody's gonna
stand there and say,
1057
00:50:49,463 --> 00:50:50,547
"Oh, we shouldn't be so cruel."
1058
00:50:50,589 --> 00:50:51,715
No, boom, kill 'em all.
1059
00:50:51,757 --> 00:50:53,717
[explosion]
1060
00:50:53,759 --> 00:50:55,761
[whooping, shouting]
1061
00:50:55,802 --> 00:50:57,596
Iraq never had a chance.
1062
00:50:57,637 --> 00:51:00,140
The technology was there,
we just flattened them.
1063
00:51:00,182 --> 00:51:01,933
[soldiers shouting]
1064
00:51:01,975 --> 00:51:03,769
[Ramin]
America invaded a country
1065
00:51:03,810 --> 00:51:05,437
that had nothing to do with it.
1066
00:51:05,479 --> 00:51:07,898
Uh, well, in all wars,
1067
00:51:07,939 --> 00:51:09,941
more people get killed
by accident than on purpose.
1068
00:51:13,028 --> 00:51:14,946
[Ramin]
As the war on terror began,
1069
00:51:14,988 --> 00:51:17,699
Second Chance's sales
skyrocketed
1070
00:51:17,741 --> 00:51:19,618
from government contracts.
1071
00:51:19,659 --> 00:51:21,953
The company planned
to go public on Wall Street,
1072
00:51:21,995 --> 00:51:25,624
and they had a new product
to help them meet the moment.
1073
00:51:27,584 --> 00:51:30,128
We're gonna introduce to you
the newest,
1074
00:51:30,170 --> 00:51:33,924
lightest vest ever made
in the history of the world.
1075
00:51:33,965 --> 00:51:36,968
I am 55 years old,
1076
00:51:37,010 --> 00:51:41,807
about 55 pounds overweight,
and this concealed body armor
1077
00:51:41,848 --> 00:51:46,394
only weighs
0.55 pounds per square foot.
1078
00:51:47,354 --> 00:51:50,732
Three, two, one.
1079
00:51:55,862 --> 00:51:58,949
The bullet is embedded here
in the Zylon.
1080
00:52:00,867 --> 00:52:03,328
Along comes this fiber Zylon.
1081
00:52:03,370 --> 00:52:05,664
Holy moly, this is really great.
1082
00:52:05,705 --> 00:52:08,708
'Cause basically,
lighter, thinner, stronger.
1083
00:52:08,750 --> 00:52:10,168
The dream of every armor maker.
1084
00:52:10,210 --> 00:52:11,711
Wow.
1085
00:52:12,671 --> 00:52:14,297
To me, it was something
1086
00:52:14,339 --> 00:52:16,591
that I thought was
a once-in-a-lifetime discovery.
1087
00:52:16,633 --> 00:52:20,387
And we announced it by saying,
"There's a new sheriff in town,
1088
00:52:20,428 --> 00:52:22,347
and it's called Zylon."
1089
00:52:22,973 --> 00:52:26,810
[Aaron] It was advertised
as, uh, Kevlar on steroids.
1090
00:52:26,852 --> 00:52:29,437
It was an amazing product
at that point.
1091
00:52:29,479 --> 00:52:31,690
[Ramin] The Zylon
going into their vests was
1092
00:52:31,731 --> 00:52:33,441
a revolutionary new fiber,
1093
00:52:33,483 --> 00:52:36,862
and Second Chance had
a brief exclusive window
1094
00:52:36,903 --> 00:52:39,030
to research, develop and sell it
1095
00:52:39,072 --> 00:52:42,159
before their competitors
would gain access
1096
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,452
and cut into their profits.
1097
00:52:46,246 --> 00:52:49,040
Aaron had become
director of research,
1098
00:52:49,082 --> 00:52:50,667
reporting to Ed Bachner.
1099
00:52:50,709 --> 00:52:53,545
A former Marine from Texas,
Ed is a chemist
1100
00:52:53,587 --> 00:52:55,714
who used to run
DuPont's body armor division,
1101
00:52:55,755 --> 00:52:57,883
famous for its use of Kevlar.
1102
00:52:58,592 --> 00:53:01,261
In his basement, he showed us
how he liked to relax:
1103
00:53:01,303 --> 00:53:03,054
making bullets.
1104
00:53:04,598 --> 00:53:06,224
There it is.
1105
00:53:06,266 --> 00:53:09,853
That's a 185-grain,
.45 ACP jacketed hollow point.
1106
00:53:09,895 --> 00:53:12,981
I shoot them as fast
as I load them. [chuckles]
1107
00:53:13,023 --> 00:53:14,900
[Aaron]
Ed Bachner is a heck of a guy,
1108
00:53:14,941 --> 00:53:16,985
and he could be
really stringent about,
1109
00:53:17,027 --> 00:53:18,612
"You got to know this."
1110
00:53:19,613 --> 00:53:21,990
So he trained me
about ballistic testing.
1111
00:53:22,032 --> 00:53:25,785
In 2001, I was called in
by the general manager,
1112
00:53:25,827 --> 00:53:28,538
and he showed me
1113
00:53:28,580 --> 00:53:33,585
a five- or six-page memo
coming from the Zylon factory.
1114
00:53:33,627 --> 00:53:35,754
Obviously, I'm not a chemist
or mechanical engineer,
1115
00:53:35,795 --> 00:53:37,255
but I can read [chuckles], okay?
1116
00:53:37,297 --> 00:53:39,925
And it's CYA.
1117
00:53:39,966 --> 00:53:41,384
It's a cover-your-ass report.
1118
00:53:41,426 --> 00:53:44,346
Zylon seems to be degrading.
1119
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:47,807
I said, "We may have problems."
1120
00:55:28,116 --> 00:55:30,785
[Ramin] And did you and Richard
test it together?
1121
00:55:30,827 --> 00:55:33,830
Yeah, right here
in the shop, we did.
1122
00:55:33,872 --> 00:55:36,291
We took and put a phone book
on the floor
1123
00:55:36,333 --> 00:55:39,502
and put the vest over
the top of it, and he tried...
1124
00:55:39,544 --> 00:55:41,463
I can't remember
what round he was shooting now.
1125
00:55:41,504 --> 00:55:43,048
But anyways, he shot at it,
1126
00:55:43,089 --> 00:55:44,591
and the damn thing
went right through the vest
1127
00:55:44,632 --> 00:55:47,218
and the phone book
and hit the floor.
1128
00:55:48,928 --> 00:55:50,472
I'm going, "Holy crap."
1129
00:55:51,514 --> 00:55:53,183
If I don't make it through this,
1130
00:55:53,224 --> 00:55:54,893
this does not mean concealed
body armor doesn't work
1131
00:55:54,934 --> 00:55:56,394
or Second Chance ain't good.
1132
00:55:56,436 --> 00:55:58,146
It means that I screwed up
on a new vest.
1133
00:55:58,188 --> 00:55:59,898
The standard
for our body armor is:
1134
00:55:59,939 --> 00:56:02,942
Will I stand there
and shoot myself on the chest?
1135
00:56:03,902 --> 00:56:06,654
The answer became: well, maybe.
1136
00:56:06,696 --> 00:56:07,906
[gun cocks]
1137
00:56:16,539 --> 00:56:18,083
Okay, camerapeople.
1138
00:56:19,834 --> 00:56:22,837
Three, two, one.
1139
00:56:25,757 --> 00:56:28,009
[indistinct chatter, chuckling]
1140
00:56:28,051 --> 00:56:30,678
Okay, wow,
I felt it, even through...
1141
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:32,097
whew, even through
everything else.
1142
00:56:32,138 --> 00:56:34,099
pensive music
1143
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:38,728
[Kathleen]
I thought the Zylon vests
1144
00:56:38,770 --> 00:56:41,272
should have been
immediately withdrawn.
1145
00:56:42,899 --> 00:56:45,318
But he didn't think
that he could.
1146
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:49,823
I reminded him that
he owned 51% of the company,
1147
00:56:49,864 --> 00:56:52,158
and that up to this point,
1148
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,121
nobody ever told him
he couldn't do it.
1149
00:56:58,164 --> 00:56:59,749
[Aaron]
Initially, Richard said,
1150
00:56:59,791 --> 00:57:01,960
"Aaron, you're gonna
give a talk."
1151
00:57:02,001 --> 00:57:03,878
I had a piece of paper written
1152
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,463
pretty much
by Richard Davis saying,
1153
00:57:05,505 --> 00:57:08,049
"This is
what's really happening."
1154
00:57:08,091 --> 00:57:09,551
And right beforehand,
1155
00:57:09,592 --> 00:57:11,511
lawyer or the general manager
take it from me,
1156
00:57:11,553 --> 00:57:13,388
and I'd be like,
"You're kidding me, right?"
1157
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:16,099
And I looked at Richard,
and he'd be like...
1158
00:57:17,434 --> 00:57:20,979
[Ramin] This was a memo
your dad wrote in 2002.
1159
00:57:21,020 --> 00:57:22,480
Would you read it
for me, please?
1160
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:26,776
Yeah.
1161
00:57:27,902 --> 00:57:29,279
Interesting.
1162
00:57:32,490 --> 00:57:34,367
I remember seeing this long ago,
1163
00:57:34,409 --> 00:57:39,456
but, um, been a long time
since I saw that.
1164
00:57:41,291 --> 00:57:42,834
Is this dated?
1165
00:57:43,751 --> 00:57:46,296
July 29, 2002.
1166
00:57:48,214 --> 00:57:50,091
[Ramin]
In his memo to the board,
1167
00:57:50,133 --> 00:57:53,178
Richard stated that Zylon
was degrading much faster
1168
00:57:53,219 --> 00:57:56,222
than the fibers
they had previously been using.
1169
00:57:56,264 --> 00:57:58,224
He wanted the board to sign,
1170
00:57:58,266 --> 00:58:01,019
admitting they were
selling defective vests
1171
00:58:01,060 --> 00:58:04,272
to unsuspecting
American law enforcement
1172
00:58:04,314 --> 00:58:08,526
and military who could be killed
or wounded in their products.
1173
00:58:09,110 --> 00:58:13,615
Richard was unable
to stand up to the board,
1174
00:58:13,656 --> 00:58:16,117
and ironically,
he had put into writing
1175
00:58:16,159 --> 00:58:19,204
an unintentional admission
of guilt.
1176
00:58:19,245 --> 00:58:23,208
The company knew
Zylon was putting lives at risk.
1177
00:58:27,212 --> 00:58:30,173
[Aaron] Richard must've
given out one to everybody,
1178
00:58:30,215 --> 00:58:32,300
and then, uh,
it didn't take long.
1179
00:58:32,926 --> 00:58:35,386
Matt came back down
and wanted to know,
1180
00:58:35,428 --> 00:58:38,181
"Where's that memo I gave you?"
1181
00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:41,351
And I went upstairs. I--
1182
00:58:41,392 --> 00:58:43,269
Upstairs with
the other board members, right?
1183
00:58:43,311 --> 00:58:46,689
And there, yeah, sure as heck...
[laughs]
1184
00:58:46,731 --> 00:58:48,691
you got the lawyer
1185
00:58:48,733 --> 00:58:50,193
and Matt and Karen,
1186
00:58:50,235 --> 00:58:52,737
and they were putting it
in the shredder.
1187
00:58:52,779 --> 00:58:54,906
[Ramin] But how do you know
it was that memo and not--
1188
00:58:54,948 --> 00:58:57,534
Because I-I walked in,
and it was.
1189
00:58:57,575 --> 00:58:59,369
And, um...
1190
00:59:00,495 --> 00:59:03,248
...I gave him back the memo,
but I had a copy of it.
1191
00:59:05,708 --> 00:59:09,837
Richard came home and said,
"Somebody's gonna die!"
1192
00:59:09,879 --> 00:59:11,881
And stomping around the den.
1193
00:59:11,923 --> 00:59:14,259
I said, "What are you
gonna do about it?
1194
00:59:14,300 --> 00:59:17,178
You must do something about it."
1195
00:59:17,804 --> 00:59:21,975
Richard was just having some
sort of a fight in his head,
1196
00:59:22,016 --> 00:59:25,228
and I couldn't touch it,
I couldn't deal with it.
1197
00:59:26,813 --> 00:59:28,690
I couldn't do anything.
1198
00:59:28,731 --> 00:59:31,609
Talking to me
is like talking to the dog.
1199
00:59:35,655 --> 00:59:38,283
From the time
he said that to me...
1200
00:59:39,450 --> 00:59:41,536
...it was like
somebody pushed a timer
1201
00:59:41,578 --> 00:59:43,121
and it was ticking in my head.
1202
00:59:43,162 --> 00:59:45,123
dramatic music
1203
01:00:02,223 --> 01:00:05,018
[Jamie Zeppetella]
The morning after Tony was shot,
1204
01:00:05,059 --> 01:00:08,688
I asked them right away,
1205
01:00:08,730 --> 01:00:11,441
"Did Tony's vest fail?"
1206
01:00:11,482 --> 01:00:13,568
And they told me no.
1207
01:00:13,610 --> 01:00:17,822
I was really just having
a hard time
1208
01:00:17,864 --> 01:00:19,073
believing it.
1209
01:00:22,285 --> 01:00:24,287
November of 2002,
1210
01:00:24,329 --> 01:00:28,958
a sales representative had been
at Oceanside Police Department,
1211
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,170
um, showing the Second Chance
1212
01:00:32,211 --> 01:00:34,172
Zylon vest.
1213
01:00:34,213 --> 01:00:37,717
Tony liked to have the best
of everything, equipment-wise.
1214
01:00:38,718 --> 01:00:40,845
Especially having
a baby on the way,
1215
01:00:40,887 --> 01:00:43,681
he wanted to be the most
protected that he could be.
1216
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:49,187
The news was on.
1217
01:00:49,228 --> 01:00:53,566
I saw a shot of the officer
1218
01:00:53,608 --> 01:00:57,528
on the gurney.
1219
01:00:57,570 --> 01:00:59,906
He didn't have a shirt on,
and I saw his shoulder.
1220
01:01:02,075 --> 01:01:04,869
And I just knew.
I knew that was him.
1221
01:01:06,579 --> 01:01:08,790
And now Jakob does have
1222
01:01:08,831 --> 01:01:11,751
the same arm
and shoulder as his dad.
1223
01:01:11,793 --> 01:01:13,753
solemn music
1224
01:01:21,719 --> 01:01:23,137
[Richard]
They kept saying there was,
1225
01:01:23,179 --> 01:01:24,639
there was a hole
in the Zylon vest.
1226
01:01:24,681 --> 01:01:26,057
They would not let us
see the Zylon vest.
1227
01:01:26,099 --> 01:01:28,059
We never got to see
the damn Zylon vest.
1228
01:01:28,101 --> 01:01:29,894
They had a big production
after years,
1229
01:01:29,936 --> 01:01:31,354
finally get to see the vest.
1230
01:01:31,396 --> 01:01:32,855
They go into this room.
1231
01:01:32,897 --> 01:01:34,732
There's pictures of the vest
laying there.
1232
01:01:35,733 --> 01:01:37,068
And we weren't even
allowed to take
1233
01:01:37,110 --> 01:01:38,861
pictures of the pictures.
1234
01:01:38,903 --> 01:01:41,072
And I went,
"What the hell's going on here?"
1235
01:01:41,114 --> 01:01:43,908
He got shot on
his Second Chance Zylon vest,
1236
01:01:43,950 --> 01:01:45,410
and the bullet stopped.
1237
01:01:45,451 --> 01:01:47,578
The bullet stopped.
1238
01:01:47,620 --> 01:01:51,165
A second shot hit him
up on the edge of the cover,
1239
01:01:51,207 --> 01:01:53,584
just barely nicked
the-the Zylon.
1240
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:56,421
Nicked the Zylon
and down into his chest.
1241
01:01:56,462 --> 01:01:58,256
And it's back to the old dilemma
1242
01:01:58,297 --> 01:02:01,092
that has been facing armor
makers since ancient Babylonia.
1243
01:02:01,134 --> 01:02:02,593
How big do you make the vests?
1244
01:02:02,635 --> 01:02:03,803
Why don't you to come up here,
you know?
1245
01:02:03,845 --> 01:02:05,471
Well, what if you get shot here?
1246
01:02:05,513 --> 01:02:07,223
Well, come up to here.
"Oh, I can't see," you know.
1247
01:02:07,265 --> 01:02:09,475
[stammers] There's always
gonna be an edge of the vest.
1248
01:02:09,517 --> 01:02:11,477
It doesn't go off into
infinity of space or anything.
1249
01:02:11,519 --> 01:02:13,271
There's gonna be an edge.
1250
01:02:13,980 --> 01:02:19,318
[Jamie] I actually got to see
the vest in person,
1251
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,989
and I could see the holes
that went through and through.
1252
01:02:23,030 --> 01:02:25,783
Tony was shot 13 times,
1253
01:02:25,825 --> 01:02:28,411
but he wouldn't have survived
even the first shot.
1254
01:02:31,456 --> 01:02:34,375
They, uh, you know,
1255
01:02:34,417 --> 01:02:35,960
just looking for money,
that's all it was.
1256
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:38,796
There was no pen--
was no perforation of that vest.
1257
01:02:38,838 --> 01:02:40,757
[Ramin] Just before
we finished the film,
1258
01:02:40,798 --> 01:02:44,385
we were finally granted access
to the autopsy report.
1259
01:02:44,427 --> 01:02:47,638
The bullet had gone
through and through.
1260
01:02:49,849 --> 01:02:51,893
It's a really sad, sad thing.
1261
01:02:51,934 --> 01:02:56,814
We're very saddened for him,
uh, for his family.
1262
01:02:56,856 --> 01:02:58,399
Um...
1263
01:03:00,610 --> 01:03:01,861
Yeah.
1264
01:03:02,862 --> 01:03:05,281
In life, things happen, right?
1265
01:03:05,323 --> 01:03:07,700
Things you don't intend
to have happen,
1266
01:03:07,742 --> 01:03:08,951
that have bad repercussions,
1267
01:03:08,993 --> 01:03:11,120
and the same is true
in business.
1268
01:03:12,121 --> 01:03:14,874
I believe that God gave man
1269
01:03:14,916 --> 01:03:18,878
the greatest gift possible,
and that is free will.
1270
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:22,965
And when we have free will,
1271
01:03:23,007 --> 01:03:25,343
bad things will happen.
1272
01:03:25,384 --> 01:03:27,345
sullen music
1273
01:03:32,308 --> 01:03:34,560
[Steve Kohn] If you remember,
there was this infamous case
1274
01:03:34,602 --> 01:03:37,146
where Ford was
selling the Pinto car.
1275
01:03:37,188 --> 01:03:40,858
They knew the gas tank
was in a hazardous position.
1276
01:03:40,900 --> 01:03:44,487
They didn't move the gas tank,
many people died.
1277
01:03:44,529 --> 01:03:46,405
I'm looking at the same thing
in Second Chance.
1278
01:03:48,991 --> 01:03:51,202
When Aaron came to us,
1279
01:03:51,244 --> 01:03:52,787
I had already been
representing whistleblowers
1280
01:03:52,829 --> 01:03:54,705
for a long time.
1281
01:03:54,747 --> 01:03:58,209
And he told me what happened,
and it took me about 11 minutes
1282
01:03:58,251 --> 01:04:01,546
to realize
he had a very strong case.
1283
01:04:02,171 --> 01:04:06,801
If one cop is shot
by one person, that's bad.
1284
01:04:06,843 --> 01:04:10,721
But if a company sells
100,000 vests
1285
01:04:10,763 --> 01:04:15,643
that don't work
to 100,000 innocent policemen,
1286
01:04:15,685 --> 01:04:18,855
you can figure out
which was worse.
1287
01:04:21,941 --> 01:04:24,402
[Ramin] It wasn't long
before another officer was shot
1288
01:04:24,443 --> 01:04:26,028
and permanently injured,
1289
01:04:26,070 --> 01:04:29,073
and there were still
100,000 Zylon vests
1290
01:04:29,115 --> 01:04:32,577
on the bodies of police
and U.S. military overseas,
1291
01:04:32,618 --> 01:04:34,704
and many were rapidly degrading.
1292
01:04:36,873 --> 01:04:39,750
The government asked
Aaron Westrick to wear a wire
1293
01:04:39,792 --> 01:04:43,546
against the man
whose vest had saved his life.
1294
01:04:43,588 --> 01:04:46,340
They hoped he might
convince Richard to flip
1295
01:04:46,382 --> 01:04:49,010
and testify against the board.
1296
01:04:49,051 --> 01:04:50,595
[Aaron]
My heart, uh,
1297
01:04:50,636 --> 01:04:52,597
sank, but he goes,
"Would you do it?"
1298
01:04:52,638 --> 01:04:53,764
I said, "Yes."
1299
01:04:56,392 --> 01:04:58,769
I would meet with an agent
at a hotel,
1300
01:04:58,811 --> 01:05:00,938
just on the outskirts
of Traverse City,
1301
01:05:00,980 --> 01:05:03,816
where he would put
the wire on me.
1302
01:05:04,817 --> 01:05:07,278
But I didn't like the idea of
1303
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:08,613
meeting in a place
outside of work
1304
01:05:08,654 --> 01:05:10,364
an hour and a half or so
beforehand
1305
01:05:10,406 --> 01:05:12,116
so you could get wired up
1306
01:05:12,158 --> 01:05:15,244
and the listening van
could get into position,
1307
01:05:15,286 --> 01:05:17,038
like, across the street
from Second Chance.
1308
01:05:19,874 --> 01:05:21,334
You look in the mirror
and you say,
1309
01:05:21,375 --> 01:05:23,002
"Am I doing the right thing?"
1310
01:05:23,044 --> 01:05:24,962
This is really hard.
1311
01:05:25,004 --> 01:05:26,714
I'm wearing a wire to work.
1312
01:05:26,756 --> 01:05:28,466
I told Aaron once before
1313
01:05:28,507 --> 01:05:30,134
there's certain parts
of his body, I think,
1314
01:05:30,176 --> 01:05:33,763
that are bigger than
his brains sometimes. [laughs]
1315
01:05:33,804 --> 01:05:35,306
[sighs]
1316
01:05:35,348 --> 01:05:39,185
I think that
he really wanted Richard
1317
01:05:39,226 --> 01:05:43,022
to do the right thing
and even say the right thing,
1318
01:05:43,064 --> 01:05:44,815
when he had the wire.
1319
01:05:44,857 --> 01:05:46,442
You know, it's-- this is real,
1320
01:05:46,484 --> 01:05:48,027
this is real torture
for me to listen to this.
1321
01:05:48,069 --> 01:05:49,403
[Aaron on video]
And you wrote a memo, too.
1322
01:05:49,445 --> 01:05:50,821
Yeah.
1323
01:05:50,863 --> 01:05:52,239
Richard just went
in the building.
1324
01:05:52,281 --> 01:05:54,825
I'm gonna get him.
1325
01:05:54,867 --> 01:05:56,827
[beep]
1326
01:05:56,869 --> 01:05:58,329
What-what a backstabbing shit.
1327
01:05:58,371 --> 01:05:59,830
[Aaron]
Richard.
1328
01:05:59,872 --> 01:06:01,332
Come on, come on, bud.
1329
01:06:01,374 --> 01:06:02,833
Come on over.
I want to yak with you.
1330
01:06:02,875 --> 01:06:04,835
[Richard] There you are.
Okay, what's up?
1331
01:06:04,877 --> 01:06:06,671
[Aaron] I want to make it real
clear how I feel about this.
1332
01:06:06,712 --> 01:06:08,172
[Richard] God, Aaron,
if I'm clear on one thing,
1333
01:06:08,214 --> 01:06:10,007
I'm clear how you feel
about this.
1334
01:06:10,049 --> 01:06:11,008
[Aaron] You're in deep shit.
I'm telling you right now.
1335
01:06:11,050 --> 01:06:12,259
I kept careful notes.
1336
01:06:12,301 --> 01:06:13,719
[Richard]
I-I know you did, Aaron.
1337
01:06:13,761 --> 01:06:14,804
[Aaron]
You're in serious trouble--
1338
01:06:14,845 --> 01:06:16,305
[Richard]
Aaron, no shit!
1339
01:06:16,347 --> 01:06:17,890
[Aaron]
If you come-- but come around
1340
01:06:17,932 --> 01:06:19,558
and-and point the finger
where it belongs.
1341
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,435
[Richard] What the hell
you want me to do?
1342
01:06:21,477 --> 01:06:22,353
I mean, I may lose everything
I own because of this.
1343
01:06:22,395 --> 01:06:23,854
Everything I own.
1344
01:06:23,896 --> 01:06:25,731
Everything I own
I put into this thing.
1345
01:06:25,773 --> 01:06:27,525
What am I supposed to do,
set myself on fire or something?
1346
01:06:27,566 --> 01:06:28,484
-[Aaron] I don't want you to--
-[Richard] I mean,
1347
01:06:28,526 --> 01:06:29,568
what-what can I do?
1348
01:06:29,610 --> 01:06:30,653
We should've acted faster.
1349
01:06:30,695 --> 01:06:31,737
That-That's absolute fact.
1350
01:06:31,779 --> 01:06:32,697
Put a billboard out there.
1351
01:06:32,738 --> 01:06:33,739
Should've acted faster.
1352
01:06:33,781 --> 01:06:35,491
I'm sorry we didn't act faster.
1353
01:06:35,533 --> 01:06:37,326
The abso-absolute truth is
we got overwhelmed.
1354
01:06:37,368 --> 01:06:39,537
It's like when I told--
was told my dad had cancer.
1355
01:06:39,578 --> 01:06:40,746
I-I didn't want
to believe it at first.
1356
01:06:40,788 --> 01:06:42,415
It was too enormous.
1357
01:06:42,456 --> 01:06:44,417
It's terminal cancer.
1358
01:06:44,458 --> 01:06:46,252
We're told, we're told that
our vest had terminal cancer.
1359
01:06:46,293 --> 01:06:48,254
So we kept looking around.
1360
01:06:48,295 --> 01:06:50,047
Is there some way, some way
we can get out of this thing?
1361
01:06:50,089 --> 01:06:51,424
[Aaron] But what about the vests
that were already made?
1362
01:06:51,465 --> 01:06:53,175
[Richard]
That's the past, okay?
1363
01:06:53,217 --> 01:06:55,302
Right now, today, what's
the best course of action?
1364
01:06:55,344 --> 01:06:58,514
I'm trying to do right now
is to save 250 jobs. You know?
1365
01:06:58,556 --> 01:07:00,391
I got all these people
who are gonna be out of work.
1366
01:07:00,433 --> 01:07:02,143
What are you gonna do?
1367
01:07:02,184 --> 01:07:03,561
How we gonna save
Second Chance Body Armor?
1368
01:07:03,602 --> 01:07:04,729
[Aaron]
I know what you're saying,
1369
01:07:04,770 --> 01:07:06,188
but the truth of the matter is
1370
01:07:06,230 --> 01:07:07,898
our Second Chance vests
have failed.
1371
01:07:07,940 --> 01:07:09,191
[Richard]
I know this, okay? Okay?
1372
01:07:09,233 --> 01:07:10,693
You all set with that now?
1373
01:07:10,735 --> 01:07:11,694
We got that,
got that established?
1374
01:07:11,736 --> 01:07:13,654
I'm pissed off, okay?
1375
01:07:13,696 --> 01:07:15,364
Everything he's saying there,
he's trying to set me up.
1376
01:07:15,406 --> 01:07:16,741
It's-it's like playing a game
of Simon Says,
1377
01:07:16,782 --> 01:07:18,367
only you don't know
you're playing.
1378
01:07:18,409 --> 01:07:21,287
If I would've had one little
moment of moral weakness
1379
01:07:21,328 --> 01:07:22,955
and said, "Yeah, well,
let's see what you want to do.
1380
01:07:22,997 --> 01:07:24,874
Let's do that.
Let's do that then."
1381
01:07:24,915 --> 01:07:26,834
And I'd be going to prison.
1382
01:07:26,876 --> 01:07:28,377
Prison.
1383
01:07:28,419 --> 01:07:30,421
The guy who saved
hundreds of American policemen
1384
01:07:30,463 --> 01:07:33,340
goes into a prison,
what's gonna happen to him?
1385
01:07:33,382 --> 01:07:35,760
How many hours
do you think I'd last?
1386
01:07:35,801 --> 01:07:37,386
I think-- And he knew that.
1387
01:07:37,428 --> 01:07:38,888
[Aaron] What do you want me
to do, Richard?
1388
01:07:38,929 --> 01:07:40,765
Do you want me to lie
in front of you?
1389
01:07:40,806 --> 01:07:42,558
[Richard] No, I don't want you
to lie in front of me.
1390
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,435
Don't lie about anything.
Don't lie, don't lie.
1391
01:07:44,477 --> 01:07:45,853
All-all I can ask you is to--
once a long time ago,
1392
01:07:45,895 --> 01:07:47,354
Second Chance saved your life.
1393
01:07:47,396 --> 01:07:49,273
Now you got to save
Second Chance.
1394
01:07:52,193 --> 01:07:54,153
somber music
1395
01:08:04,455 --> 01:08:06,874
[Ramin] Do you think
Richard was motivated by
1396
01:08:06,916 --> 01:08:08,375
money in his life?
1397
01:08:08,417 --> 01:08:10,753
No, he was motivated by passion.
1398
01:08:10,795 --> 01:08:15,091
The vests were
his reason for being.
1399
01:08:15,132 --> 01:08:18,135
And, um, and it failed.
1400
01:08:28,062 --> 01:08:30,189
[Kim] I didn't know
it was gonna be as hard
1401
01:08:30,231 --> 01:08:31,649
as what it was.
1402
01:08:32,233 --> 01:08:36,278
You know, we saw people
steal our garbage.
1403
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:39,490
I guess that's how
they try to find dirt on people.
1404
01:08:39,532 --> 01:08:42,201
I mean, who else
would steal our garbage?
1405
01:08:42,243 --> 01:08:44,078
I always told the kids,
you know, you come home,
1406
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,122
you see a strange car
parked on the road
1407
01:08:46,163 --> 01:08:47,289
that you don't recognize,
1408
01:08:47,331 --> 01:08:48,666
don't go home.
1409
01:08:48,707 --> 01:08:52,002
Go to the neighbors and call me.
1410
01:08:52,628 --> 01:08:56,465
I didn't feel like
I could maybe talk to him
1411
01:08:56,507 --> 01:08:59,718
about things that I needed to,
because I...
1412
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,428
A, I didn't think
I would be heard,
1413
01:09:01,470 --> 01:09:04,223
and B, he was already
stressed enough.
1414
01:09:04,265 --> 01:09:08,102
But I don't blame Aaron
for taking down Richard.
1415
01:09:08,144 --> 01:09:11,647
Richard did that to himself
by not doing the right thing.
1416
01:09:11,689 --> 01:09:15,442
It is ironic that, you know,
he saved Aaron on one end,
1417
01:09:15,484 --> 01:09:19,822
and in the end, I suppose
Richard couldn't save himself.
1418
01:10:01,655 --> 01:10:03,699
[Ramin] So how do you manage
your health care
1419
01:10:03,741 --> 01:10:06,285
from 2004 until now?
1420
01:10:29,308 --> 01:10:31,602
[Ramin] When you think back
to shooting that Magnum
1421
01:10:31,644 --> 01:10:34,188
and you had so much power,
1422
01:10:34,230 --> 01:10:35,773
and now you could have
anything you want
1423
01:10:35,814 --> 01:10:37,441
that would make you feel
that way again,
1424
01:10:37,483 --> 01:10:39,193
-what would it be?
-[sobs softly]
1425
01:10:40,486 --> 01:10:42,655
[sobs, sniffles]
1426
01:10:49,662 --> 01:10:51,789
[Ramin]
What would you do differently?
1427
01:10:54,833 --> 01:10:57,544
[sighs, sniffles]
1428
01:11:05,678 --> 01:11:07,638
somber music
1429
01:11:17,481 --> 01:11:19,441
Second Chance Body Armor
1430
01:11:19,483 --> 01:11:21,652
may have known
its product was defective
1431
01:11:21,694 --> 01:11:23,362
before the shootings.
1432
01:11:23,404 --> 01:11:24,989
A company in Michigan
knowingly sold
1433
01:11:25,030 --> 01:11:27,116
defective bulletproof vests
1434
01:11:27,157 --> 01:11:29,451
to federal officials
and even to President Bush.
1435
01:11:29,493 --> 01:11:32,371
[cheering, applause]
1436
01:11:33,372 --> 01:11:34,957
[Ramin]
Besieged by lawsuits,
1437
01:11:34,999 --> 01:11:37,584
Second Chance
and the Zylon manufacturer
1438
01:11:37,626 --> 01:11:39,295
agreed to pay
over $2 million dollars
1439
01:11:39,336 --> 01:11:42,339
to the family
of the officer who was slain.
1440
01:11:42,381 --> 01:11:45,175
Both companies denied
all culpability.
1441
01:11:46,468 --> 01:11:48,512
And in their lawsuit
with Aaron Westrick
1442
01:11:48,554 --> 01:11:50,347
and the United States
government,
1443
01:11:50,389 --> 01:11:53,017
they paid over
$65 million dollars.
1444
01:11:53,058 --> 01:11:55,519
A small fraction went to Aaron.
1445
01:11:55,561 --> 01:11:58,105
Second Chance
declared bankruptcy.
1446
01:11:58,147 --> 01:12:00,316
The executives did no jail time,
1447
01:12:00,357 --> 01:12:03,652
and many wound up in mansions
by the Great Lakes.
1448
01:12:03,694 --> 01:12:06,822
But legal fees
broke Richard apart.
1449
01:12:06,864 --> 01:12:10,284
His marriage to Kathleen
ended in divorce,
1450
01:12:10,326 --> 01:12:13,120
he lost the company
he had spent decades building,
1451
01:12:13,162 --> 01:12:15,914
and he had a heart attack.
1452
01:12:15,956 --> 01:12:18,375
I bankrupted my damn company,
for God's sakes.
1453
01:12:18,417 --> 01:12:20,044
I bankrupted the company
solving a problem
1454
01:12:20,085 --> 01:12:21,628
that I didn't cause.
1455
01:12:21,670 --> 01:12:23,714
And I get rattled--
hassled here in the street
1456
01:12:23,756 --> 01:12:25,215
like I'm some kind of criminal.
1457
01:12:25,257 --> 01:12:27,760
I went-- I'm bankrupt, okay?
I got nothing.
1458
01:12:27,801 --> 01:12:30,304
That was definitely, uh,
not a high point.
1459
01:12:30,346 --> 01:12:32,097
Um...
1460
01:12:32,139 --> 01:12:33,640
Yeah, definitely not
a high point.
1461
01:12:33,682 --> 01:12:36,310
But I-I just--
I didn't take it lying down.
1462
01:12:36,352 --> 01:12:37,561
I started up
a new body armor company
1463
01:12:37,603 --> 01:12:39,063
called Armor Express,
1464
01:12:39,104 --> 01:12:40,856
and it's trying to take in
all the glory
1465
01:12:40,898 --> 01:12:43,233
that Second Chance was
and all the good service
1466
01:12:43,275 --> 01:12:45,194
and all the good reputation
we'd built up.
1467
01:12:45,235 --> 01:12:47,029
I wanted to transfer that
over to Armor Express.
1468
01:12:47,071 --> 01:12:48,447
That's not an easy thing to do.
1469
01:12:49,448 --> 01:12:51,158
We had to carry on tradition.
1470
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:53,410
I was gonna shoot Matt.
1471
01:12:55,245 --> 01:12:56,663
And I just couldn't do it.
1472
01:12:56,705 --> 01:12:58,165
I can't do it.
1473
01:12:58,207 --> 01:13:00,501
I don't have to do this
to my own son.
1474
01:13:00,542 --> 01:13:04,546
But then Matt picks up the gun,
says, "I'll go, Dad."
1475
01:13:04,588 --> 01:13:06,048
Oh, geez.
1476
01:13:06,090 --> 01:13:07,925
That's just, uh...
I was so proud of him.
1477
01:13:07,966 --> 01:13:09,259
I was so scared.
1478
01:13:09,301 --> 01:13:11,470
-Go ahead, go ahead.
-Two, one.
1479
01:13:13,263 --> 01:13:14,932
Oh, Jesus.
1480
01:13:14,973 --> 01:13:17,518
[sobbing]
1481
01:13:17,559 --> 01:13:19,603
[Ramin] The tragedies
that ended Second Chance
1482
01:13:19,645 --> 01:13:21,522
were forgotten.
1483
01:13:21,563 --> 01:13:24,108
With his father's support,
Matt started Armor Express.
1484
01:13:26,068 --> 01:13:28,529
And in a decade,
it had become one of the biggest
1485
01:13:28,570 --> 01:13:31,365
body armor companies
in the world.
1486
01:13:31,407 --> 01:13:33,367
dramatic orchestral music
1487
01:13:36,870 --> 01:13:40,290
And Matt began producing
his own films.
1488
01:14:00,978 --> 01:14:03,313
[Matt]
My father's legacy,
1489
01:14:03,355 --> 01:14:05,399
it's a legacy about
entrepreneurship...
1490
01:14:06,942 --> 01:14:09,319
...controversy, storytelling.
1491
01:14:09,361 --> 01:14:11,280
It's a legacy about
1492
01:14:11,321 --> 01:14:14,116
the phoenix
rising from the ashes.
1493
01:14:14,158 --> 01:14:16,869
dramatic music
1494
01:14:48,817 --> 01:14:51,195
[Ramin]
When you think back to it now,
1495
01:14:51,236 --> 01:14:54,907
do you feel like
your role was fated?
1496
01:14:56,033 --> 01:14:58,368
Has it all been determined?
1497
01:15:00,245 --> 01:15:02,372
[Aaron]
My middle name is Jude,
1498
01:15:02,414 --> 01:15:04,625
and that's the saint
for the hopeless,
1499
01:15:04,666 --> 01:15:06,835
the helpless causes.
1500
01:15:06,877 --> 01:15:08,962
And the kind of family I had,
1501
01:15:09,004 --> 01:15:10,672
I was pointed towards
the priesthood.
1502
01:15:10,714 --> 01:15:12,925
[Ramin]
Why didn't you become a priest?
1503
01:15:12,966 --> 01:15:16,970
[laughs] Well, I just decided
not to become a priest,
1504
01:15:17,012 --> 01:15:18,430
when it's all said and done,
1505
01:15:18,472 --> 01:15:22,893
because I do believe
that some persons...
1506
01:15:24,144 --> 01:15:27,105
...need to be shown the way.
1507
01:15:27,147 --> 01:15:29,233
Or guided, if you get my point.
1508
01:15:29,274 --> 01:15:33,403
I'm not a heavy-handed person,
but there comes a time when...
1509
01:15:34,112 --> 01:15:37,407
...there comes a time when you,
uh, you got to stop some people
1510
01:15:37,449 --> 01:15:39,576
from hurting other people.
1511
01:15:39,618 --> 01:15:41,912
[indistinct chatter]
1512
01:15:41,954 --> 01:15:45,332
I believed in his cause
at the time.
1513
01:15:45,374 --> 01:15:47,876
My faith is a little shaken.
1514
01:15:47,918 --> 01:15:50,420
But I still see good
in Richard Davis.
1515
01:15:52,339 --> 01:15:55,425
Sometimes I miss Richard,
and I-I think I've said before,
1516
01:15:55,467 --> 01:15:57,594
in my heart,
we're still friends.
1517
01:16:00,639 --> 01:16:02,224
Yeah.
1518
01:16:02,266 --> 01:16:03,600
[interviewer]
Will you tell us your name?
1519
01:16:03,642 --> 01:16:05,519
-[Aaron] Uh, Aaron Westrick.
-[groans]
1520
01:16:05,561 --> 01:16:07,604
-Why you torment me like this?
-[interviewer] On the day
1521
01:16:07,646 --> 01:16:09,231
in question,
were you wearing body armor?
1522
01:16:09,273 --> 01:16:10,941
-Yes, I was.
-What type?
1523
01:16:10,983 --> 01:16:12,609
Wearing a Second Chance.
1524
01:16:12,651 --> 01:16:14,778
Uh, believe it would be
a T-shirt model vest.
1525
01:16:14,820 --> 01:16:17,072
[interviewer] How did you come
into possession of the vest?
1526
01:16:17,114 --> 01:16:19,074
somber music
1527
01:16:22,744 --> 01:16:24,496
[Ramin] And, Richard,
what happened to the man
1528
01:16:24,538 --> 01:16:26,123
who shot Aaron?
1529
01:16:26,164 --> 01:16:28,584
[Richard]
I heard he was killed later.
1530
01:16:28,625 --> 01:16:31,712
He was, uh, guarding
a drug pad of some kind,
1531
01:16:31,753 --> 01:16:33,797
and police made a raid and he
resisted and somebody shot him.
1532
01:16:53,609 --> 01:16:56,153
[Aaron on video]
Don't move! Don't move.
1533
01:16:57,988 --> 01:16:59,615
You breathe wrong,
I'll kill you.
1534
01:16:59,656 --> 01:17:01,408
You breathe
wrong, I'll kill you!
1535
01:17:01,450 --> 01:17:02,659
[assailant]
Okay, you got me.
1536
01:17:02,701 --> 01:17:04,411
That's bullshit.
1537
01:17:04,453 --> 01:17:06,455
He didn't say nothing cocky.
1538
01:17:06,496 --> 01:17:08,832
He watching too much
Starsky & Hutch.
1539
01:17:08,874 --> 01:17:10,500
But, no, he didn't
act like that at all.
1540
01:17:10,542 --> 01:17:12,628
He said,
"Lord, don't let me die."
1541
01:17:12,669 --> 01:17:14,087
I remember that.
1542
01:17:15,464 --> 01:17:17,341
[chuckles] He did.
1543
01:17:18,967 --> 01:17:20,302
I'm Clifford Washington.
1544
01:17:21,303 --> 01:17:23,513
I'm an assistant professor.
1545
01:17:23,555 --> 01:17:25,766
I am a-a minister.
1546
01:17:25,807 --> 01:17:30,646
Uh, I love fishing and hunting,
riding motorcycles,
1547
01:17:30,687 --> 01:17:33,482
and I am the man
that shot Aaron Westrick.
1548
01:17:34,691 --> 01:17:37,361
In life, I learned that...
1549
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,075
...we make mistakes sometime,
1550
01:17:43,116 --> 01:17:46,870
but very seldom
do we get an opportunity...
1551
01:17:48,997 --> 01:17:51,917
...to right those wrongs,
1552
01:17:51,958 --> 01:17:55,128
and I'd like to think
that's what I'm doing now.
1553
01:17:55,170 --> 01:17:56,296
Really.
1554
01:17:56,338 --> 01:17:57,589
Um...
1555
01:17:57,631 --> 01:17:59,007
I knew better.
1556
01:17:59,049 --> 01:18:01,176
I knew not to point a gun
at someone
1557
01:18:01,218 --> 01:18:03,220
because, uh, from the time
I could walk,
1558
01:18:03,261 --> 01:18:05,263
I was hunting with a BB gun,
1559
01:18:05,305 --> 01:18:07,391
a .22 shotgun.
1560
01:18:07,432 --> 01:18:10,102
And you know what?
1561
01:18:10,143 --> 01:18:11,687
I had excellent grades.
1562
01:18:11,728 --> 01:18:13,063
I don't say this often,
1563
01:18:13,105 --> 01:18:15,190
but during
my undergraduate degree,
1564
01:18:15,232 --> 01:18:16,692
every exam I took,
1565
01:18:16,733 --> 01:18:19,569
I was stoned,
blown out my gourd.
1566
01:18:19,611 --> 01:18:21,488
I got A's in everything.
1567
01:18:24,199 --> 01:18:27,869
I was, uh, involved in
a breaking and entering,
1568
01:18:27,911 --> 01:18:30,414
and, um, someone heard us,
1569
01:18:30,455 --> 01:18:32,290
and they called
the law enforcement
1570
01:18:32,332 --> 01:18:34,251
like they were supposed to do.
1571
01:18:34,292 --> 01:18:38,422
And Aaron, uh, was the first one
that arrived on the scene.
1572
01:18:39,589 --> 01:18:43,218
And, um, I didn't want
to go to jail.
1573
01:18:43,260 --> 01:18:46,888
And, uh, he asked me to stop,
and I shot him.
1574
01:18:46,930 --> 01:18:49,141
At the same time,
he was shooting me.
1575
01:18:49,182 --> 01:18:52,144
The first shot went in here
and came out there.
1576
01:18:52,185 --> 01:18:54,020
So they had to cut it
right there.
1577
01:18:54,062 --> 01:18:56,148
And then this one
1578
01:18:56,189 --> 01:19:00,610
went in here
and it came out back here.
1579
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:02,529
[Ramin]
And what did you feel
1580
01:19:02,571 --> 01:19:04,281
in the moment
of pulling the trigger?
1581
01:19:04,322 --> 01:19:06,783
Horrible. Just horrible, man.
1582
01:19:06,825 --> 01:19:09,619
Yeah. I-I knew-- you know what?
1583
01:19:09,661 --> 01:19:12,122
If I had the balls,
I would've put it in my mouth
1584
01:19:12,164 --> 01:19:14,124
and pulled the trigger.
1585
01:19:14,166 --> 01:19:16,710
I-I just-- That was--
That's horrible, man.
1586
01:19:16,752 --> 01:19:19,421
Nothing... horrible feeling.
1587
01:19:19,463 --> 01:19:21,256
Horrible, horrible, horrible.
1588
01:19:21,298 --> 01:19:23,133
I'm-I'm just so...
1589
01:19:26,470 --> 01:19:29,055
...torn,
1590
01:19:29,097 --> 01:19:33,894
[voice breaking]
even now, all these years later.
1591
01:19:33,935 --> 01:19:36,605
It's horrible, man.
1592
01:19:36,646 --> 01:19:38,815
I just can't believe I did that.
1593
01:19:42,486 --> 01:19:44,571
Cannot believe I did that.
1594
01:19:46,531 --> 01:19:47,616
[sniffles]
1595
01:19:47,657 --> 01:19:48,992
And I'm just...
1596
01:19:55,123 --> 01:19:57,292
And then my dad,
he came up that night,
1597
01:19:57,334 --> 01:20:00,462
[sniffling]
'cause he was a pastor,
1598
01:20:00,504 --> 01:20:03,673
and, uh,
I remember him saying...
1599
01:20:05,425 --> 01:20:08,345
"You got a new lease on life."
1600
01:20:08,970 --> 01:20:12,474
Do you think you will ever
be able to forgive yourself?
1601
01:20:14,684 --> 01:20:16,144
[sniffles]
1602
01:20:18,522 --> 01:20:20,398
That's a tough question.
1603
01:20:29,074 --> 01:20:31,701
We are going to the location
where 40 years ago,
1604
01:20:31,743 --> 01:20:35,038
Clifford Washington and I
shot one another.
1605
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:37,040
soft music
1606
01:20:43,255 --> 01:20:45,340
[Ramin] Clifford and Aaron
had not had time
1607
01:20:45,382 --> 01:20:47,676
to reflect that
since shooting one another,
1608
01:20:47,717 --> 01:20:49,678
they had both become
college professors
1609
01:20:49,719 --> 01:20:51,555
in Northern Michigan,
1610
01:20:51,596 --> 01:20:54,850
or that Clifford, while serving
15 years in prison,
1611
01:20:54,891 --> 01:20:58,728
had fulfilled Aaron's childhood
dream of becoming a pastor.
1612
01:20:59,938 --> 01:21:01,898
melancholy music
1613
01:21:09,865 --> 01:21:11,908
[birds chirping]
1614
01:21:21,334 --> 01:21:22,919
-How you doing, man?
-[Aaron chuckles]
1615
01:21:22,961 --> 01:21:25,714
How are you doing?
1616
01:21:25,755 --> 01:21:27,966
-[laughing]
-Wow. Aaron.
1617
01:21:31,970 --> 01:21:34,931
[Clifford sobbing]
I'm so sorry!
1618
01:21:36,641 --> 01:21:38,602
So sorry.
1619
01:21:38,643 --> 01:21:40,437
[sniffling]
1620
01:21:41,313 --> 01:21:43,940
I'm sorry. [sniffling]
1621
01:21:43,982 --> 01:21:45,775
It's all right.
1622
01:21:47,736 --> 01:21:48,862
Starting anew.
1623
01:21:48,904 --> 01:21:50,614
This is all new. It's okay.
1624
01:21:50,655 --> 01:21:52,699
[sniffling]
1625
01:21:57,412 --> 01:21:58,663
Thank you.
1626
01:22:03,835 --> 01:22:06,671
I had a-a screw
replaced in my leg
1627
01:22:06,713 --> 01:22:08,465
-about three weeks ago.
-Yeah.
1628
01:22:08,506 --> 01:22:10,050
I remember in court
you had a walker.
1629
01:22:10,091 --> 01:22:12,302
-Yeah.
-Yeah, I did that.
1630
01:22:13,470 --> 01:22:15,805
I remember the day I was
gonna fall. Remember that?
1631
01:22:15,847 --> 01:22:17,432
Down them back steps?
1632
01:22:17,474 --> 01:22:20,352
In 1982, we were going to court.
1633
01:22:20,393 --> 01:22:22,270
I had a walker,
1634
01:22:22,312 --> 01:22:24,230
and I was slipping and falling.
1635
01:22:24,272 --> 01:22:25,523
I was gonna fall down.
1636
01:22:25,565 --> 01:22:27,067
I looked.
1637
01:22:27,108 --> 01:22:30,070
Bunch of steel and cement steps.
1638
01:22:30,111 --> 01:22:32,864
Somebody grabbed me,
just like this.
1639
01:22:34,991 --> 01:22:36,493
It was Aaron.
1640
01:22:37,994 --> 01:22:39,829
He stopped me from falling.
1641
01:22:39,871 --> 01:22:41,665
Kept me from falling.
1642
01:22:42,666 --> 01:22:45,001
[chuckles] I remember that.
1643
01:22:48,838 --> 01:22:50,799
And I-I would never forget that.
1644
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,551
I can forget everything,
I'll never forget that.
1645
01:22:56,304 --> 01:22:58,264
melancholy music
1646
01:23:05,563 --> 01:23:07,691
[Richard] If a great white light
comes over the world
1647
01:23:07,732 --> 01:23:10,193
and nobody's shooting
anybody anymore,
1648
01:23:10,235 --> 01:23:11,987
we'd be out of business.
1649
01:23:12,946 --> 01:23:14,948
That-that ain't gonna happen.
1650
01:23:14,990 --> 01:23:17,826
You look at animals in the wild,
1651
01:23:17,867 --> 01:23:20,704
the horses and the cows
and the deer and everything,
1652
01:23:20,745 --> 01:23:22,622
they got eyes out on the sides
of their heads
1653
01:23:22,664 --> 01:23:24,541
so they can look, look all,
look all around them
1654
01:23:24,582 --> 01:23:26,710
and see-see if any threats
are coming.
1655
01:23:26,751 --> 01:23:30,880
The eagles and the lions
and tigers and the predators,
1656
01:23:30,922 --> 01:23:32,590
they got eyes right here
like we do.
1657
01:23:32,632 --> 01:23:34,134
Like we do. We're predators.
1658
01:23:34,175 --> 01:23:36,136
We focus in on something.
1659
01:23:36,177 --> 01:23:38,013
We focus in on something
we're gonna kill.
1660
01:23:38,054 --> 01:23:39,931
And that's what man's been doing
1661
01:23:39,973 --> 01:23:43,018
for, uh, you know, thousands--
hundreds of thousands of years.
1662
01:23:43,059 --> 01:23:45,020
soft music
1663
01:23:50,233 --> 01:23:52,360
[Ramin] In my final encounter
with Richard,
1664
01:23:52,402 --> 01:23:55,321
I brought him back
to the alleyway of his origins.
1665
01:23:56,740 --> 01:23:59,242
There is a truth
to Richard's reality,
1666
01:23:59,284 --> 01:24:01,911
as unpleasant as it sounds.
1667
01:24:01,953 --> 01:24:05,081
For every moment that man
prevents man from falling,
1668
01:24:05,123 --> 01:24:09,919
there seem to be countless more
examples of violence, brutality.
1669
01:24:11,421 --> 01:24:13,131
-You're wearing a vest now?
-Yeah.
1670
01:24:13,173 --> 01:24:14,716
Why?
1671
01:24:14,758 --> 01:24:16,426
I don't know. [laughs]
1672
01:24:16,468 --> 01:24:18,428
If I knew, I wouldn't
have to do anything.
1673
01:24:18,470 --> 01:24:21,222
Are you concerned
you may be shot at today?
1674
01:24:21,264 --> 01:24:23,224
Yeah, it ent--
it entered my mind,
1675
01:24:23,266 --> 01:24:26,186
since I've been shot
right here before, you know?
1676
01:24:26,227 --> 01:24:29,105
This is the place of death.
Kind of a scary place.
1677
01:24:29,147 --> 01:24:31,524
I made-made it
out of this place once,
1678
01:24:31,566 --> 01:24:33,568
and I want to do it again.
1679
01:24:35,570 --> 01:24:37,530
[Ramin] If you could
go back in time now
1680
01:24:37,572 --> 01:24:39,532
and meet
the young Richard Davis,
1681
01:24:39,574 --> 01:24:41,242
-what would you tell him?
-[chuckles]
1682
01:24:41,284 --> 01:24:43,161
Carry a couple more guns
with you. [laughs]
1683
01:24:43,203 --> 01:24:44,287
Bigger gun, more ammo.
1684
01:24:51,669 --> 01:24:53,296
[Ramin]
Richard, what is it
1685
01:24:53,338 --> 01:24:56,883
you're the most afraid of
in this life?
1686
01:24:56,925 --> 01:24:59,094
Nothing. [laughs]
1687
01:24:59,135 --> 01:25:01,888
No. You know, really,
getting old, going--
1688
01:25:01,930 --> 01:25:04,307
growing old 'cause you-you can
break an arm and get shot,
1689
01:25:04,349 --> 01:25:05,934
and you can recover from that.
1690
01:25:05,975 --> 01:25:08,561
Getting old, every day,
it's coming, you know.
1691
01:25:08,603 --> 01:25:10,313
Father Time's coming after you.
1692
01:25:20,907 --> 01:25:24,577
He belongs to
the Immortalist Society,
1693
01:25:24,619 --> 01:25:28,665
and, um, he's going to have
his head removed
1694
01:25:28,706 --> 01:25:30,875
and cryonically preserved.
1695
01:25:32,544 --> 01:25:36,589
And he said that I might want
to think about that.
1696
01:25:36,631 --> 01:25:38,758
And I remember it
because I said,
1697
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:40,176
"It's January.
1698
01:25:40,218 --> 01:25:42,387
Can we talk about this
in the summer?"
1699
01:25:42,428 --> 01:25:43,680
[laughs]
1700
01:25:43,721 --> 01:25:45,682
somber music
1701
01:25:49,978 --> 01:25:52,689
[Ramin] While sitting under
the painting of Iwo Jima,
1702
01:25:52,730 --> 01:25:54,732
Richard told me
that in the future,
1703
01:25:54,774 --> 01:25:59,112
when his frozen head was thawed
and attached to a robot torso,
1704
01:25:59,154 --> 01:26:03,658
that his one desire would be
to create better body armor.
1705
01:26:03,700 --> 01:26:05,535
[Richard]
Armor makers of the future are
1706
01:26:05,577 --> 01:26:07,537
gonna contend with weapons
that'll just keep punching.
1707
01:26:07,579 --> 01:26:10,999
Instead of just one big hit,
they just keep drilling away.
1708
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:13,042
You got to have something
that'll intercept the energy
1709
01:26:13,084 --> 01:26:14,836
and turn around
and use it against itself.
1710
01:26:14,878 --> 01:26:17,005
Throw the energy beam
back into the energy beam
1711
01:26:17,046 --> 01:26:19,215
and tear apart the guys
who are shooting it at you.
1712
01:26:19,257 --> 01:26:20,842
It serves 'em right.
1713
01:26:26,681 --> 01:26:30,393
[gun clicking slowly]
1714
01:26:40,111 --> 01:26:42,197
[clicking continues]
1715
01:27:00,632 --> 01:27:01,925
[gun clicks]
1716
01:27:07,555 --> 01:27:12,393
Well, won't somebody tell me
1717
01:27:12,435 --> 01:27:16,147
Answer if you can
1718
01:27:16,189 --> 01:27:19,651
Won't somebody tell me
1719
01:27:19,692 --> 01:27:23,279
Just what is the soul
of a man
1720
01:27:23,321 --> 01:27:26,950
I'm going to ask
the question
1721
01:27:26,991 --> 01:27:30,787
Please answer if you can
1722
01:27:30,828 --> 01:27:34,290
If anybody surely
can tell me
1723
01:27:34,332 --> 01:27:37,085
Just what is the soul
of a man
1724
01:27:37,126 --> 01:27:41,172
Well, won't somebody tell me
1725
01:27:41,214 --> 01:27:44,467
Answer if you can
1726
01:27:44,509 --> 01:27:48,221
I want somebody to tell me
1727
01:27:48,263 --> 01:27:52,016
Just what is the soul
of a man
1728
01:27:52,058 --> 01:27:55,645
I traveled
different countries
1729
01:27:55,687 --> 01:27:59,440
I've traveled
in foreign lands
1730
01:27:59,482 --> 01:28:03,152
I've found nobody
could tell me
1731
01:28:03,194 --> 01:28:05,863
Just what about the soul
of a man
1732
01:28:05,905 --> 01:28:09,993
Well, won't somebody tell me
1733
01:28:10,034 --> 01:28:13,204
Answer if you can
1734
01:28:13,246 --> 01:28:16,958
I want somebody to tell me
1735
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:21,379
Just what is the soul
of a man
1736
01:28:21,421 --> 01:28:25,216
I saw a crowd stand talking
1737
01:28:25,258 --> 01:28:28,928
I just came up in time
1738
01:28:28,970 --> 01:28:32,348
Was teaching the lawyer,
the doctor
1739
01:28:32,390 --> 01:28:35,435
Well, a man ain't nothing
but his mind
1740
01:28:35,476 --> 01:28:39,564
Well, won't somebody tell me
1741
01:28:39,605 --> 01:28:42,734
Answer if you can
1742
01:28:42,775 --> 01:28:46,571
I want somebody to tell me
1743
01:28:46,612 --> 01:28:49,365
Just what is the soul
of a man
1744
01:28:49,407 --> 01:28:53,536
Well, won't somebody tell me
1745
01:28:53,578 --> 01:28:56,873
Answer if you can
1746
01:28:56,914 --> 01:29:00,668
I want somebody to tell me
1747
01:29:00,710 --> 01:29:04,380
Just what is the soul
of a man
