:43:01
I started as a clerk,
but I took advancement tests.
:43:04
There was more money to be made.
:43:07
It appealed to me because,
though I was sure I could stop any time,
:43:11
I had developed an addiction to cocaine -
the best hobby I ever had.
:43:16
That is allowed!
:43:18
But I didn't wanna be a revenue officer
where you were getting abused all day.
:43:24
And being one of the collection cowboys
had no appeal.
:43:27
But there was one job
that looked like it might be fun: Investigator.
:43:32
Your last job
before becoming a psychologist
:43:35
was an investigator
for the Internal Revenue Service?
:43:39
- Everybody has a story.
- Seems like you got the variety pack.
:43:43
What it felt like was a series
of separate, unconnected lives.
:43:50
Every time I left a life, it felt good.
Whatever problems I had were gone.
:43:55
I had no friends, didn't talk to my family.
The only constant force in my life was drugs.
:44:01
An IRS investigator with a drug problem.
:44:04
I got teamed
with this fanatic named Gregory.
:44:08
He always got his man, whether
they deserved it or not. He was a closer.
:44:13
Then the collection guys would clean up.
Our specialty was sleazy skulking.
:44:19
We were a great team. I was a dope addict
and Gregory was insane.
:44:24
Him being insane didn't make it OK
that I fell in love with his wife, Candy.
:44:29
Holy shit!
:44:31
Get to know your therapist.
:44:34
- You were messed up, man!
- Things got a lot worse.
:44:37
The way to get money out of taxpayers
is to intimidate them,
:44:42
which meant building up a convincing case
whether they'd done anything wrong or not.
:44:48
Our manager was pushing us hard to make
a case against a furniture maker, Warris.
:44:54
Gregory started acting
more and more irrational.
:44:57
We were breaking into their warehouse,
files, doing things that were over the line.
