00:00She saw something she never should have seen.
00:03The man spotted the mother and daughter inside the car.
00:06The woman froze, not knowing what to do, and could only watch as he walked toward them.
00:14After it was all over, the man and his crew drove away as if nothing had happened.
00:18Meanwhile, the woman's husband was still at home waiting for his wife and daughter to come back for dinner.
00:23But instead, two police officers arrived at his door with devastating news.
00:27Because there had been a witness at the scene, the shooter was quickly arrested,
00:31and the witness gave a clear and confident identification.
00:33But the man, named Traeger, was no ordinary criminal.
00:37He was the head of the largest crime syndicate in town.
00:40He had a dozen ways to walk free.
00:42Soon, that only witness was found dead beside a garbage heap.
00:45With no one left to testify against him, everyone knew Traeger was the killer,
00:49but no one could do anything about it.
00:51When the victim's husband, Nolan, heard that Traeger might walk free,
00:54he lost all faith in the justice system.
00:57He went to a gun shop and, paying ten times the price, bought himself a .38 caliber revolver.
01:02Then, he drove straight into Traeger's territory, held one of Traeger's street dealers at gunpoint,
01:07and forced him to reveal where the boss lived.
01:09Moments later, Nolan arrived at the gates of Traeger's mansion,
01:12with no plan, no backup, and nothing but rage, and stormed inside.
01:21Nolan was quickly overpowered.
01:22Before he could move, someone tackled him to the ground, and a flurry of punches rained down on his face.
01:28Traeger swaggered out, looking at this desperate man with contempt, as if he couldn't even remember ever seeing him.
01:33When he learned Nolan had come to avenge his family, Traeger just sneered,
01:37as if killing two people meant nothing more than stepping on ants.
01:40Traeger mocked and humiliated Nolan, completely unaware that the revolver had fallen just a few feet away.
01:50Nolan managed to grab it and aimed it at his enemy, but before he could pull the trigger, the police burst in and stopped him.
01:55Traeger instantly switched roles, acting like the victim, and even filed charges against Nolan for unlawful entry.
02:01Now Nolan was facing up to five years in prison.
02:04Luckily, the detective who'd handled his wife's case took pity on him,
02:08and reclassified the crime as an act of emotional distress caused by grief.
02:12But to make that work, Nolan had to plead guilty.
02:15That meant two years behind bars, with the chance of parole after one.
02:19With no other choice, Nolan accepted the deal.
02:21What kind of world was this?
02:23Where a mob boss who had killed countless people walked free, and the victim's husband ended up in prison.
02:28Nolan had no idea where to turn for justice, and his troubles were far from over.
