Get back in the car, drive out.

They continue chasing us, and then we run out of gas right out on the highway.

And we stop the car and decide—I'm calling 911, by the way.

And I called a sheriff's department person I interviewed the day before, and I told her what was happening.

And she said, call 911 immediately.

These are not people you want to be messing with.

So I call 911, and eventually I stop on the side of the road.

They stop next to us because they're dumbfounded.

They're like, what the fuck?

Why did they stop?

They have no idea that we ran out of gas.

And then the police comes up, and they ask them some questions, and they came up with this silly excuse, and they let them go.

And a few months later, they were taken down by this massive FBI investigation that was happening at the same time.

So I interview the guy, Curt McKenzie.

who was the investigator that knew of us at the time.

He realized, oh my God, there's like these crazy journalists that are doing this story at the same time as they were.

And we were actively trying to get them to talk to us, the FBI, and they couldn't because they had an active investigation.

But they actually tapped in, and American Pain, my husband's film, is all about that.

They did taps, wire taps, on all of these guys.

So they know everything, how they knew there were people dying, people ODing just outside their clinic, and how they were just kept going, and the doctors themselves as well.
