MY NAME IS STEVE SCHIRRIPA,

AND I WANNA TALK TO YOU
ABOUT REVENGE.

SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER, JOSH!
IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

I WAS SO FED UP. I'D HAD IT.

Schirripa: IMAGINE YOU'VE BEEN
CHEATED ON OR LIED TO.

YOU'VE BEEN FLAT-OUT PLAYED.

I WAS STILL MISSING HOURS
OFF MY PAYCHECK

YOU OWE ME OVER $300.

Schirripa:
NATURALLY, YOU WANNA GET EVEN.

I STARTED CALLING
BOUNTY HUNTERS.

HI, JOSH. IT'S BETH ANN.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I QUIT.OKAY, LET'S DO IT.

IT FEELS REALLY GOOD TO NOT LET
PEOPLE WALK ALL OVER YOU.

BUT WHAT GOES AROUND
COMES AROUND.

THAT'S CALLED "KARMA,"
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY...

--Captions by VITAC--

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

SOME PEOPLE WILL DO
JUST ABOUT ANYTHING

TO BE IN THE MOVIES,
AND FOR ONE WOMAN,

THE SILVER SCREEN WAS
THE PERFECT TRAP

TO SETTLE A 20-YEAR-OLD SCORE
WITH HER KID'S DEADBEAT DAD.

BETH ANN HOLDERMAN'S
HOLLYWOOD ROMANCE BEGINS IN 1991

WHEN SHE FALLS
FOR JOSHUA GARLATHY.

WE MET AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY
OF PENNSYLVANIA.

WE WERE BOTH
PSYCHOLOGY MAJORS,

AND WE WERE BOTH INVOLVED
IN MUSIC AND THE ARTS

AND PSYCHOLOGY AND A LOT
OF METAPHYSICAL PHILOSOPHY.

I FOUND JOSHUA SEXY
BECAUSE HE PLAYED A MEAN GUITAR.

WE HAD A VERY STRONG BOND.

HE WAS AN ASPIRING MUSICIAN
AS WELL AS ATTENDING COLLEGE.

I FOUND THAT TO BE QUITE
A NICE MIXTURE.

Schirripa: AND 18 MONTHS LATER,

JOSH AND BETH ANN GIVE BIRTH
TO A GORGEOUS BABY GIRL

THEY NAMED SAHRIN.

SAHRIN THETA WAS BORN
ON MARCH 3, 1993.

SHE'S MAGNIFICENT.

Schirripa: BUT ALMOST OVERNIGHT,

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF RAISING
A BABY PUTS A LOT OF PRESSURE

ON THIS BRAND-NEW FAMILY.[ BABY CRYING ]

Beth Ann:
AFTER SAHRIN WAS BORN,

THINGS BECAME VERY DIFFICULT
FINANCIALLY.

WE HAD BOTH MOVED
INTO A TOWNHOUSE.

JOSH, I COULD REALLY USE
SOME HELP HERE.

I'M TRYING TO WRITE
A SONG.

YEAH, AND I'M TRYING
TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BABY!

I DROPPED OUT OF ATTENDING
CLASSES DUE TO MY PREGNANCY.

SHE WON'T STOP CRYING,
JOSHUA.

I STAYED AT HOME
FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR

TO RAISE SAHRIN.

JOSHUA DECIDED HE DID NOT
WANNA WORK.

HE HAD NOT RETURNED TO SCHOOL,

AND SO I WENT ON WELFARE.

JOSHUA WAS LIVING
OFF OF MY WELFARE.

Schirripa: JOSH WASN'T EXACTLY
IN LINE TO WIN

"DADDY OF THE YEAR" AWARD,
AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE.

HIS BEHAVIOR HAD BECOME ERRATIC.

HE WAS MENTALLY,
BORDERLINE PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE.

Schirripa: SCARED FOR HERSELF
AND FOR SAHRIN,

BETH ANN BUNDLES UP
HER BABY GIRL AND LEAVES JOSHUA.

Beth Ann: I BROUGHT SAHRIN THETA
BACK TO LEHIGH COUNTY,

WHICH IS WHERE
BOTH OF MY PARENTS RESIDE

TO BE A SINGLE MOM.

Schirripa:
WELL, BETH ANN'S PARENTS

GIVE HER TONS OF SUPPORT,
BUT FINANCIALLY,

SHE'S GOT PROBLEMS.

TO FIND MYSELF A SINGLE MOM
ON WELFARE WAS HARD,

BECAUSE CHILDREN ARE EXPENSIVE.

I WAS LEARNING ABOUT SURVIVAL.

I MADE SACRIFICES.

Schirripa: SO SHE ASKED JOSHUA
TO MAN UP AND PITCH IN.

WHEN SHE HEARS NOTHING BACK
FROM THIS DEADBEAT DAD,

SHE GOES TO THE LAW.

WHAT I HAD TO DO WAS FILE
FOR CHILD SUPPORT.

THE MATTER'S SETTLED.

YOU KNOW I DON'T HAVE
ANY MONEY, BETH ANN.

Beth Ann: BECAUSE HE DID NOT
HAVE AN OCCUPATION,

THEY WERE BASING THE ORDER
ON WHAT HE WOULD MAKE

ON MINIMUM WAGE, WHICH WAS
A GRAND TOTAL OF $100 A MONTH.

SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER, JOSH.
GO OUT AND GET A JOB.

IT WAS NOT EVEN ENOUGH
TO BUY BABY FOOD FOR THE MONTH.

UGH!Schirripa: BUT INSTEAD OF

PAYING THAT PUNY AMOUNT
TO HELP RAISE HIS OWN DAUGHTER,

HE TAKES OFF AND LEAVES
HIS FAMILY HIGH AND DRY.

FOR SEVERAL YEARS, I HAD
HAD NO CONTACT WITH JOSHUA,

NO CLOTHING,
NO MONEY SENT IN THE MAIL.

NO BIRTHDAY CARD, NO NOTHING.

THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS TIME,
YOU KNOW, SAHRIN IS GROWING.

SHE IS SAYING, YOU KNOW,
"WHERE'S MY FATHER?"

I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA
WHERE HE WAS.

FIVE YEARS GO BY, AND THEN
THIS SCUMBAG RESURFACES.

FINALLY, JOSHUA DECIDED TO
CONTACT A MUTUAL FRIEND OF OURS

VIA E-MAIL, REQUESTING THAT

I ALLOW SAHRIN
TO COME UP TO CANADA

AND THAT I ALLOW HER
TO STAY FOR THE SUMMER.

HE MUST BE JOKING.[ TYPING ]

Schirripa: NOT SO MUCH AS
A RED CENT ALL THESE YEARS,

AND NOW THIS LOWLIFE WANTS
SAHRIN PUT ON A PLANE

FOR A VISIT WITH POPS?

WELL, GUESS WHAT BETH ANN SAID?

I SAID NO.

THERE WAS JUST NO WAY...

[ LAUGHS ] THAT WAS GOING TO
COME ABOUT.

Schirripa:
JOSH HAS MADE A BIG MISTAKE.

HE'S NOW ON BETH ANN'S RADAR.

USING HIS E-MAIL,
SHE HELPS THE LAW TRACK HIM

TO BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Beth Ann: THE CANADIAN COURTS

ATTEMPTED TO ENFORCE
HIS PAYMENTS.

HE MADE ONE PAYMENT,

SO HE FELL INTO THE CATEGORY
OF "ATTEMPTING TO PAY,"

SO THEREFORE IT BOUGHT HIM
SOME TIME.

Schirripa:
AND FOR THREE YEARS,

BETH ANN'S CASE
IS STUCK IN LIMBO.

IN 2005,

THERE WAS A COURT HEARING
WHERE HE NEEDED TO SHOW UP

OR THEY WERE GOING TO
HAVE HIM ARRESTED.

WHEN THAT HEARING TOOK PLACE,
HE DID NOT SHOW.

THEY SENT THE MOUNTIES OUT
TO BRING HIM IN.

THEY WERE GOING TO
INCARCERATE HIM,

AND HE WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

HE HAD VANISHED AGAIN.

Schirripa: INCREDIBLE.
THE LEGAL SYSTEM HAS DONE SQUAT

TO MAKE JOSHUA PAY UP.

Beth Ann: I WAS SO FED UP.

I HAD HAD IT. I HAD HAD IT.

Schirripa: TO GET JUSTICE
FOR HER DAUGHTER AND HERSELF,

BETH ANN IS ON HER OWN.

IF I DID NOT STAND UP
FOR MY DAUGHTER AND HER RIGHTS,

NOBODY ELSE WOULD.

I WAS THE LAST RESORT.

Schirripa: SO THIS TIME,

SHE TRIES TO FLUSH JOSHUA OUT
HERSELF,

AND WHEN IT COMES
TO TRACKING 'EM DOWN,

MAMA'S GOT A BRAND-NEW BAG.

SAHRIN'S GROWN UP...HEY, SWEETIE.

AND SO HAS THE INTERNET.

THE GAME-CHANGER
IS SOCIAL MEDIA.

Beth Ann:
I ESTABLISHED A MySpace PAGE.

"PLEASE ASSIST ME IN LOCATING
JOSHUA GARLATHY,"

AND IT HAD A SYNOPSIS
OF THE CASE TO DATE.

I RECEIVED AN ANONYMOUS TIP,

WHICH LED ME
TO
HIS
MySpace PAGE,

AND READING THROUGH HIS BLOGS,
I WAS ABLE TO GET

A TRACK
OF WHAT HE HAD BEEN DOING.

THROUGH THE INTERNET TRAIL,
I WAS ABLE TO VERIFY THAT HE WAS

AT HIS SISTER'S BAKERY
IN VERMONT.

THAT'S WHEN I STARTED
CALLING BOUNTY HUNTERS.

Schirripa: SMART MOVE.

YOU SEE, A SHERIFF CAN'T MAKE
AN ARREST ACROSS STATE LINES,

BUT A BOUNTY HUNTER --
WELL, THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.

Beth Ann: THE BOUNTY HUNTER
DID THE SURVEILLANCE PRO BONO.

SHE HAD ALSO BEEN A VICTIM
OF A DEADBEAT.

SHE DID NOT CHARGE ME A DIME.

SHE EVEN LET ME STAY
AT HER RESIDENCE.

Schirripa: THEIR NEXT MOVE IS TO
TAKE THIS BIG-TIME LOSER DOWN.

AFTER WE I.D. HIM,
GET OUT OF THE WAY, OKAY?

OKAY.

Schirripa: LIKE I ALWAYS SAY,
YOU MESS WITH KARMA,

YOU'RE ASKING FOR TROUBLE --
IN THIS CASE, A CARLOAD.

BETH ANN'S READY TO THROW
HER BOUNTY HUNT INTO HIGH GEAR.

Beth Ann: THE BOUNTY HUNTER
AND I WALKED IN,

AND JOSHUA STUCK OUT HIS HAND
AND HE SAID, "HI. I'M JOSHUA.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU."

HI, JOSH.

I SAID, "HI. I'M BETH ANN.
IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU."

HE HADN'T SEEN ME IN MANY YEARS,

BUT HE DID NOT RECOGNIZE ME.

IT'S BETH ANN.

OH, MY GOD.

Beth Ann:
THAT WAS QUITE A MOMENT.

IT WAS ALL
IN THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT.

IT WAS VERY TASTY.

JUSTICE WAS FINALLY
GOING TO BE SERVED.

STOP RIGHT THERE!

♪♪♪

HI, JOSH.

Schirripa:
BETH ANN HOLDERMAN'S EX, JOSHUA,

LEFT HER AND THEIR DAUGHTER
OUT IN THE COLD.

BUT WHEN HE DISAPPEARED

AND SKIPPED OUT
ON CHILD SUPPORT,

HE MADE A BIG MISTAKE.

OF COURSE,
NOW KARMA'S GOT HIM CORNERED,

AND SHE'S PISSED.

SO JOSH RUNS, BUT HE CAN'T HIDE.

YOU CAN GO TO JAIL, OR YOU CAN
SUPPORT YOUR DAUGHTER.

YOU CHOOSE.

OKAY, BETH ANN, YOU WIN.

I'LL PAY.

Schirripa: BUT HOW'S
THIS
FOR A HOLLYWOOD TWIST?

OKAY, LET HIM GO.

[ SCOFFS ] WHY?

Schirripa: NOW WAIT A MINUTE.

AFTER YEARS OF TRACKING
THIS DEADBEAT SCUMBAG DOWN,

SHE'S GONNA LET HIM GO.
WHAT IS BETH ANN THINKING?

HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE
TO PAY HIS CHILD SUPPORT

OR EVEN BEGIN TO PAY
HIS CHILD SUPPORT

IF HE HAD BEEN INCARCERATED.

HIS SISTER SAID,
"WE'LL KEEP HIM EMPLOYED.

"WE'LL PUT HIM ON THE BOOKS.

WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT HE STARTS
PAYING HIS SUPPORT."

SO THEREFORE, MY DECISION WAS
DEADBEAT DAD WORKING

IS BETTER THAN DEADBEAT DAD
IN JAIL.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.

Schirripa:
I'M WITH THE BOUNTY HUNTER.

ONCE A DEADBEAT,
ALWAYS A DEADBEAT.

TURNS OUT, SURPRISE.
JOSH TAKES OFF AGAIN.

HE NOW OWES ALMOST $25,000
IN CHILD SUPPORT,

SO THIS TIME HE MAKES SURE
HE GOES ON THE LAM FOR GOOD.

5 MORE YEARS GO BY.
IT'S NOW 2012,

ALMOST 19 YEARS
SINCE JOSH WALKED OUT

ON SAHRIN AND BETH ANN,
SO MAYBE IT'S TIME TO GIVE UP,

BUT IF KARMA HAS ANYTHING
TO DO WITH IT, FAT CHANCE.

SAHRIN CAME TO ME
WITH HER FACEBOOK PAGE OPEN

AND SAID, "MOM, YOU KNOW,
WHO IS THIS GENTLEMAN?

I DON'T RECOGNIZE HIS NAME."

I IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED HIM.

OH, MY GOD.
THAT'S YOUR FATHER.

Schirripa: SAHRIN GIVES HER DAD
THE BRUSH-OFF,

WHILE BETH ANN DECIDES
TO GET VERY FRIENDLY.

I SET UP A FAKE FACEBOOK PAGE.

BEFRIENDED HIM
SO I COULD ACCESS HIS PROFILE.

ONCE WE DID THAT,
WE COULD SEE WHAT HE WAS DOING

AND WHERE HE WAS.
SAID LOCATION -- PAIA, HAWAII.

Schirripa: BETH ANN COULD SEE
THAT HE'S PLAYING GIGS

ALL OVER THE ISLANDS.

LOOKS LIKE JOSH STILL DREAMS
OF BEING A ROCK STAR.

AND THAT GIVES BETH ANN
ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD MOMENT --

A WAY TO NAIL THIS DEADBEAT
TO THE WALL,

SO SHE CONTACTS ANOTHER
BOUNTY HUNTER.

I FOUND HIM ON FACEBOOK
IN HAWAII.

Beth Ann: THE FIRST TACTIC
WAS TO LURE JOSHUA

OUT OF HAWAII.

I HAD THIS CRIMINAL WARRANT,
AND I HAD NO WAY

OF FINANCIALLY BEING ABLE
TO REMOVE HIM LEGALLY

OUT OF HAWAII AND BROUGHT
BACK HERE TO PENNSYLVANIA.

HE'S ALWAYS WANTED TO BE
IN A FAMOUS BAND

AND PLAY IN A MOVIE.

Beth Ann: SO THAT'S WHEN
THE RUSE WAS DEVELOPED

BETWEEN THE BOUNTY HUNTER
AND MYSELF.

Schirripa:
THE BAIT -- WELL, GET THIS.

A FAKE HOLLYWOOD MOVIE.

THIS PLAN WAS BASED UPON
JOSHUA'S EGO.

I HAD A REALLY GOOD FEELING
IT WOULD WORK.

JENNIFER ANISTON.

HE LOVES JENNIFER ANISTON.

OH, BETH ANN KNEW THAT
JOSHUA WOULD BE ALL OVER THIS.

I MEAN, THE GUY HAS AN EGO
THE SIZE OF HOLLYWOOD.

TOO BAD FOR HIM THAT THE SCRIPT
FOR THIS LITTLE BLOCKBUSTER

WAS WRITTEN BY KARMA.

ACTION.

[ PHONE RINGS ]

[ RING ]

YEAH, THIS IS JOSH.

WE TELL HIM,
"YOU LOOK A LOT LIKE,

YOU KNOW, A ROUGH BOB DYLAN."

WE WANTED HIM TO PLAY
A GUITAR-STRUMMING BANK ROBBER

NAMED "DIRTY NICK."OH, MAN, I'D LOVE THAT.

IT WAS A MOVIE CALLED
"BANISHED IN BROOKLYN,"

AND IT WAS GOING TO BE
ALONGSIDE JENNIFER ANISTON.

"WE'RE WILLING TO SEND YOU
A FIRST CLASS PLANE TICKET."

OH, THAT'S GREAT.
I'LL BE THERE.

THE CARROT HAD BEEN DANGLED.

Schirripa: JOSH ATE IT UP

LIKE IT WAS
AN ALL-YOU-COULD EAT BUFFET.

I'M NOT KIDDING.

THE GUY WAS ON THE NEXT PLANE
TO PHILLY.

JOSH, I'M THINKING
IT'S TIME FOR YOUR CLOSE-UP,

YOU FOOL, YOU.

Beth Ann: THEY ACTUALLY
ARRESTED HIM ON THE PLANE

BEFORE THEY ALLOWED ANYBODY
TO DEPART OFF OF THE PLANE.

YOU COULD ONLY GIVE SO MUCH ROPE
TO ONE PERSON

WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT THEY'RE
JUST GOING TO CONTINUE

TO HANG THEMSELVES WITH IT.
[ LAUGHS ]

THAT'S IT. JUSTICE.
JUSTICE AT LAST.

Schirripa: FOR LEAVING
HIS DAUGHTER HIGH AND DRY

FOR 20 YEARS, JOSH DID 42 DAYS
IN JAIL AND 90 DAYS PROBATION.

HE ALSO COUGHED UP 10 G's
WITH MORE TO COME.

BUT THE WAY I SEE
THIS MOVIE ENDING,

HE'S LOST EVERYTHING,

BY NOT PAYING RESPECT
TO HIS DAUGHTER

AND THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILD.

KARMA. THIS GUY -- OH.
HE ASKED FOR IT.

♪♪♪

WHY IS IT THAT SOMEONE SOMEWHERE

IS ALWAYS TRYING TO STEAL
THE FOOD FROM YOUR PLATE?

THE GOOD THING IS
THERE'S ALWAYS KARMA,

AND WHEN SHE DISHES IT OUT,
THEY'RE DONE.

LIKE DINNER.

MEET TRACEY WALSH,

17, PREGNANT,
AND ALONG WITH HER BOYFRIEND,

LOOKING FOR
HER FIRST BIG CITY JOB.

WE MOVED TO CALGARY APRIL 2006,

UM, WHEN I FOUND OUT
I WAS PREGNANT.

WE WANTED TO MOVE OUT,
GET BETTER JOBS.

THERE'S LOTS OF JOBS IN CALGARY.

IT WAS DEFINITELY
AN EXCITING TIME. BRIGHT FUTURE.

Schirripa:
CALGARY -- THE TEXAS OF CANADA.

OIL WELLS HERE
ARE PUMPING UP BLACK GOLD

LIKE IT'S GOING OUT OF STYLE.

THE CITY'S FLUSH WITH MONEY
AND JOBS.

Tracey; WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK
OF GETTING THERE,

I HAVE FIVE OR SIX JOB OFFERS,

AND I SETTLED ON THE BURGER
PLACE BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSE.

HI. UH,
WELCOME TO J & K BURGER.

IT WAS MY FIRST REAL JOB.

I LIKED THE PEOPLE.
IT WAS GREAT.

Schirripa:
WELL, TRACEY'S PUMPED, TOO,

ABOUT A REGULAR PAYCHECK,

BUT WHEN SHE BRINGS HOME
THE BACON,

IT DON'T TASTE SO GOOD.

IN MY FIRST PAYCHECK, I WAS
MISSING ABOUT EIGHT HOURS.

SO I SPOKE TO THE OWNER.

I'M SHORT ALMOST 50 BUCKS.

HE ASSURED ME THAT EVERYTHING
WAS FINE.

IT'S BECAUSE THE COMPUTERS
WERE BROKEN,

AND HE WOULD FIX IT RIGHT AWAY,

AND ALL THOSE HOURS
WOULD BE ON MY NEXT CHECK,

AND IT WAS NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT.

Schirripa:
A COUPLE OF WEEKS GO BY,

AND TRACEY'S BOSS
KEEPS HIS PROMISE.

WELL...SORT OF.

MY HOURS WERE ON MY NEXT CHECK,

BUT MY NEXT CHECK WAS ALSO
MISSING HOURS

FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEK,
WHICH HAPPENED EVERY CHECK.

Schirripa: UH-OH. IT LOOKS LIKE
HE'S SKIMMING TIME AND MONEY.

Tracey: I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING
WRONG WITH THAT.

I JUST FIGURED IT WAS LIKE,
OH, NO BIG DEAL.

HE'LL JUST GET ME. IT HAPPENS.

Schirripa:
SO TRACEY JUST KEEPS ON WORKING.

SHE'S A TOTAL SPARK PLUG,

AND PRETTY SOON,
THAT PAYS OFF IN SPADES.

Tracey:
I GOT A PROMOTION TO MANAGER,

WHICH WAS
A LOT MORE RESPONSIBILITY.

MY WAGES WERE SUPPOSED TO GO UP
TO $14 AN HOUR,

WHICH IS A HUGE RAISE.
IT'S DOUBLE MY SALARY, ALMOST.

AFTER I GOT THE PROMOTION,

I REALLY STARTED, UM,
TO GET CONCERNED.

I NEVER GOT MY RAISE.

UM, I WAS STILL MISSING HOURS
OFF MY PAYCHECK.

YOU OWE ME OVER $300.

EVERY TIME I BROUGHT IT UP
WITH MY BOSS,

IT WAS KIND OF THE SAME REACTION
AS IT WAS THE FIRST TIME.

YOU KNOW,
"I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME.

IT WAS JUST A MISTAKE.
IT HAPPENS."

Schirripa: TO ME, IT'S OBVIOUS.
TRACEY'S BEING PLAYED,

BUT SHE CAN'T BELIEVE
HER BOSS IS A CROOK.

BUT WITH A BABY ON THE WAY,
THE STRESS OF THIS JOB

IS STARTING TO GET
WAY TOO MUCH TO HANDLE.

HI...

I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING
MOST OF THE SCHEDULING,

AND THEN IF AN EMPLOYEE
DIDN'T SHOW UP,

I WOULD HAVE TO COME IN
AND COVER THEM,

WHICH HAPPENED A LOT.
I'M WORKING ALL THESE HOURS.

I'M GETTING MORE AND MORE
PREGNANT.

I WAS TIRED. I DIDN'T WANNA QUIT
BECAUSE WE NEED THE MONEY.

Schirripa: TRACEY'S BURNT OUT

AND ONLY A COUPLE OF MONTHS
AWAY FROM GIVING BIRTH.

BETWEEN OVERWORKED
AND UNDERPAID,

IT'S NOT HARD TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

Tracey: SO I HAVE THIS BAG,
AND I DROPPED IT.

FRIES FLEW ALL OVER THE FLOOR,

AND I JUST STOOD THERE
AND STARTED CRYING,

JUST BAWLING,
AND EVERYBODY'S STARING AT ME.

IT WAS TERRIBLE.

Mike: I TOLD TRACEY
COUNTLESS TIMES JUST TO QUIT.

IT'S JUST, THINGS NEVER
SEEMED TO GET BETTER.

IT WAS JUST A LOT
OF EMPTY PROMISES.

BUT SHE WANTED TO BE
CONTRIBUTING TO THE HOUSEHOLD.

HEY, TRACEY,
I GOT SOME NEWS FOR YOU.

IT'S ABOUT TO GET WORSE.

GET READY FOR A WILD STAMPEDE,

AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT
THE KIND

THAT COMES WITH HORSESHOES.

THE WORLD-FAMOUS
CALGARY STAMPEDE

IS THE BIGGEST EVENT
IN THE CITY.

FOR 10 DAYS, EVERY SUMMER,

A MILLION PEOPLE
GO COMPLETELY HOG-WILD.

TRACEY'S BURGER JOINT
WAS DIRECTLY DOWNTOWN

OUTSIDE OF THE BAR DISTRICT,

WHERE EVERYBODY GOES
FOR EVERY PARTY.

Schirripa: THAT MUCH PARTYING
CAN MAKE YOU REALLY HUNGRY,

SO TRACEY'S BURGER JOINT
IS PACKED 24/7.

PROBLEM IS, THEY'RE SHORT STAFF.

ALL OF A SUDDEN,
FAST FOOD GETS REAL SLOW.

Tracey: THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE
IN THE RESTAURANT.

I MEAN, THERE ISN'T EVEN ROOM
TO SIT.

EVERYBODY'S STANDING,

AND WE'RE GETTING ONE BREAKFAST
EVERY EIGHT MINUTES.

I'VE BEEN WAITING
30 MINUTES FOR MY ORDER!

IT'S GONNA BE ONE MORE MINUTE.
I'M SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT.

Tracey: IT'S LIKE A RODEO
IN THE BURGER PLACE.

THERE'S A SEA OF COWBOY HATS.

PEOPLE ARE CLIMBING OVER
EACH OTHER TO YELL AT US.

"WHERE'S MY BREAKFAST?
WHERE'S MY FOOD?

I'M HUNGRY. I ALREADY PAID YOU.
GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK."

SO AM I GONNA GET MY FOOD?!I'M SORRY, SIR.

OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SITUATION
I CAN'T CONTROL.

IT'S VERY EVIDENT THAT YOU
CAN'T CONTROL THE SITUATION.

Tracey: I'M PREGNANT,
IT'S HOT, AND WE'RE SO STRESSED.

IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

[ CROWD SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY ]

[ DIALS TELEPHONE ]Tracey: I CALL MY OWNER.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

AND TELL HIM WHAT'S GOING ON --

THAT WE'RE TOTALLY BACKED UP
AND WE NEED HIM IN.

AND HE SAYS --

HIS FAMOUS LINE IS,
"OH, I'LL BE THERE RIGHT AWAY."

[ DIALS TELEPHONE ]ABOUT HALF AN HOUR GOES BY.

HE'S STILL NOT HERE.
WE CALL HIM AGAIN.

HE'S NOT ANSWERING HIS PHONE.

Schirripa:
SO WHERE IS THIS SLUG?

STILL IN BED AND LETTING
HIS STAFF TAKE THE HEAT.

WE HAD CALLED HIM PROBABLY,
YOU KNOW, 15, 20 TIMES

IN THE FIRST TWO HOURS.

BY ABOUT 11:00, WE ARE
PRETTY SURE HE'S NOT COMING.

NO BOSS, NO PAYCHECK,
NO BREAKS, AND THEN BOOM.

IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS CHAOS,

A WAY TO MAKE THIS
ALL GO AWAY.

SO WHAT DOES
THIS FEARLESS COWGIRL DO?

TO THE STAMPEDE.

I HAD TO DROP OFF MY UNIFORM

AND GET MY FINAL PAYCHECK.

AND HE GIVES ME MY PAYCHECK,

AND I'M SHORT A WHOLE BUNCH
OF HOURS, SO I TELL HIM,

"YOU KNOW, YOU OWE ME MONEY.

"YOU'RE GONNA PAY ME THE MONEY
RIGHT NOW,

OR I'M GONNA GO
TO THE LABOR BOARD."

SO HE WENT TO THE TILL
AND TOOK OUT CASH

AND HANDED IT TO ME AND TOLD ME
JUST NEVER BOTHER HIM AGAIN.

I DEFINITELY LEFT THAT JOB

THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME
THAT I STOOD UP FOR MYSELF.
