00:12.170 --> 00:15.930
For his so-called “expose”
on the Church of Scientology,

00:16.030 --> 00:21.500
Alex Gibney wanted to find someone
who could play the role of angry victim.

00:21.600 --> 00:24.470
And so, meet Jason Beghe.

00:24.570 --> 00:27.570
Expelled from the Church
for a pattern of violence.

00:27.670 --> 00:30.600
A man filled with rage and volatility,

00:30.700 --> 00:32.330
with a hair-trigger temper

00:32.430 --> 00:34.900
that has landed him in trouble with the law.

00:35.000 --> 00:38.030
Just one example:
the day two process servers

00:38.130 --> 00:41.930
went to his house
in performance of their duties.

00:42.830 --> 00:46.800
My name is Kim Teager.
I work for a nationwide legal support,

00:46.900 --> 00:49.230
we’re a legal support company who

00:49.330 --> 00:54.230
pretty much just serves legal documents
for attorneys that hire us.

00:54.330 --> 00:56.700
On this particular day
we were hired to serve

00:56.800 --> 00:59.570
Jason Beghe subpoena papers.

00:59.670 --> 01:05.370
I served a document to Mr. Beghe
and he became infuriated

01:05.470 --> 01:08.970
and he handed the document back to me.

01:09.070 --> 01:12.470
I started to walk towards my car after
leaving the document on his car,

01:12.570 --> 01:15.400
and that’s when he came outside, angry,

01:15.500 --> 01:17.870
asking me where I had left the document.

01:17.970 --> 01:19.930
He asked me who I worked for,

01:20.030 --> 01:22.370
and I just continued
to walk towards my car.

01:22.470 --> 01:26.300
And I saw Beghe walking next to him,
yelling in his ear

01:26.400 --> 01:29.430
and then he started smacking
the back of his head.

01:29.530 --> 01:33.330
So when I saw that I yelled to leave him-
leave him alone.

01:33.430 --> 01:38.130
And Jason Beghe violently hit me
in the back of my head repeatedly with,

01:38.230 --> 01:39.530
with his fist.

01:39.630 --> 01:43.800
Then he started punching me
in my abdomen.

01:43.900 --> 01:46.370
When I turned around
I noticed that there was

01:46.470 --> 01:51.200
six dogs chasing me and
Jason Beghe was also chasing me

01:51.300 --> 01:54.100
screaming at me to
get off his f…ing property.

01:54.200 --> 01:56.100
And I thought he was crazy.

01:56.200 --> 01:58.370
I didn’t know how bad
he was going to hurt Javier,

01:58.470 --> 02:00.200
if he was going to try and hurt me.

02:00.300 --> 02:02.230
As soon as I got to my car, and I said

02:02.330 --> 02:04.370
“Kim, let’s get out of here”

02:04.470 --> 02:07.570
and that’s when I noticed
that she wasn’t reversing

02:07.670 --> 02:10.930
because the six dogs
were surrounding the car

02:11.030 --> 02:13.870
and then Jason Beghe
approached the driver’s side window

02:13.970 --> 02:16.030
and he was pounding on the top of the car

02:16.130 --> 02:18.830
and then he started to try and
break the window with his elbow.

02:18.930 --> 02:22.000
I thought that he was actually trying to
break the window to get to us.

02:22.100 --> 02:24.900
I was afraid that he was
going hurt us if he did, so

02:25.000 --> 02:26.770
I was out of there.

02:26.870 --> 02:28.770
I think I’ve been doing this for maybe

02:28.870 --> 02:31.170
6 - 7 years before this incident,

02:31.270 --> 02:33.530
I’ve never heard of anyone
actually getting punched

02:33.630 --> 02:36.370
or actually assaulted
after serving a paper.

02:36.470 --> 02:38.730
Even after he hit me
on the back of my head

02:38.830 --> 02:42.700
I said, "That's assault!" and he said,
"I don't give a shit".

02:42.800 --> 02:47.130
Jason Beghe was convicted of willful
battery on an officer of the court

02:47.230 --> 02:51.430
and was ordered to pay
$19,000 in restitution.

02:52.570 --> 02:55.970
That's  Jason Beghe—hair-trigger hothead.

02:56.070 --> 02:58.130
An angry man with a grudge

02:58.230 --> 03:03.400
selected by Alex Gibney to continue
his pattern of profanity-laced tirades

03:03.500 --> 03:08.270
and violence against anyone
who dares to cross him.

03:08.370 --> 03:12.600
But Alex Gibney isn't revealing
who Jason Beghe really is.

03:12.700 --> 03:14.870
And for obvious reasons.

03:14.970 --> 03:17.170
I think we got the story that we wanted.

03:17.270 --> 03:22.970
It’s not the truth. It’s Alex Gibney. On HBO.
