morning, mr. george. we have pictures of people snorting, shooting up in this parking lot after coming out of your clinic. i mean, what do you have to say about what s going on here? i don t believe you re right. that s all you have to say? after our story, then they moved. we followed them. every place that they had, we found them. you run, but you can t hide. be careful, there s a van across the street. yeah, it s probably carmel. i don t want to go there. i don t want to be on camera. should i change my clothes and put a mask on and go flash and dash? nah, unless you have a slingshot. shoot out some of the windows. you want me to do that? i took pride in the fact that they were worried about us. yeah, i heard you. ma am, we just want to know why all of these people have to drive thousands of miles to see your doctor. hello? that dumb bitch is here. who? that lady, that video camera lady is here. get out of here. eventually, we were in
