You said there's a group
of people in this city

under attack by the government.
Start there.

I worked at a lab assistant.

I'd sanitize equipment.

Prep samples.

I'd write reports.

That's how I got access
to the files.

You ever heard of
Operation Paperclip?

- No.
- It was a postwar program

where the U.S. used
Nazi scientists

against the Russians
during the Red Scare.

They'd crossbreed contagions,

test them on patients.

Mix animal diseases
with human ones.

They were looking for something
that could be used as a weapon.

They hit on something good,

but it was too big
to be airborne,

so they engineered it
to thrive in mucous membranes.

And all of this happened
on U.S. soil?

Nearby soil. Plum Island.

Even if that's true,

it was in the '50s
right after the war.

What does it have to do
with now?

The Cold War is heating up.

A year ago,
they started bringing out

some of the golden oldies
and testing them again.

Testing? You mean on humans?

Drug addicts, prisoners,
homeless people.

They get them to volunteer
for money.

They were experimenting
with ticks

as a delivery mechanism

to spread the diseases.

They think
some of the ticks got loose

and spread the disease
outside the island.

You know what I'm talking about,
don't you?

Patients have been showing up
with conditions

that should be rare, but...

now they're all over the place.

Some of them have
weird skin rashes,

diarrhea, like from a parasite.

- They created it, all of it.
- Honestly,

conspiracy theories are dangerous.

They absolutely hurt
more than they help.

Medical misinformation,
which doctors like me

call the fear of science,

actually causes more infections,
a higher ratio of disease...

The people that created
this were evil.

I think they made the disease
as painful as possible,

and they specifically targeted
the people they detest.

Why are you telling
all this to me?

I read the article in The Native

about the infected deer
on Fire Island

and how they were slaughtered.

And I suggest you look
more closely

at some of the symptoms
your patients have

and go to the press.

With what?

I don't have
any proof of anything,

and proof is everything.

And a study could take years.

Figure it out, and fast.

My life is on the line.

The people behind this know
that I know.

Remember Karen fucking Silkwood?

She's in a Texas cemetery now.

I just want to get out of here.

Please. Just let me go.

No matches on
any of the fingerprints.

None of them
were in the database.

Missing persons?

Yeah, we're running
missing persons right now.

So far, no one seems to link up.

Goddamn it, when are we gonna
get some luck on this damn case?

Well, we may have some now, Chief.

I just need to get back to it.

This guy's got
a hell of a story.

Might be relevant.

All right, keep me up to speed.

Sure.

You were telling me
what this guy made you do.

He kept me in a fucking cage.

- He made me perform acts...
- What kind of acts?

- The kind I don't want people to know about.
- Right.

Can you just tell me how you
ended up at this guy's place?

Did he drag you off the street?
Knock you on the head?

I answered a pay phone.

Outside a leather bar.

- Which bar?
- The Ditch.

The guy was funny,
made me laugh.

Mm-hmm. He told
me where he lived.

So I decided, what the hell?

Wait, you agreed to meet
this guy over a phone call?

I guarantee you,
it's not the weirdest pickup

that's happened in this city.

Okay, can you just...

describe the guy who held you
and where this took place?

Night in rapture. ♪

So, you're admitting to me
he was held in here.

He was in here,
but he was not held.

- Do you see a lock?
- Could've been one before.

There wasn't.

It was consensual.

It was a game.

He was into it.

I've never seen
anyone more into it.

Could he have actually
been frightened,

- and you misinterpreted?
- No, not a chance.

He's not the first gentleman
I've entertained down here.

And it won't be the last.
I could offer you a session.

Don't be a smart-ass.

These are
very serious accusations.

Then why aren't you
locking me up?

You're not arresting me

because he won't press charges.

He won't press charges
because there's nothing

that happened down here
that both parties didn't want...

and enjoy.

So you see,
you've ruined my evening

for no reason at all.

There were two very talented
young photographers

who had their first
gallery exhibition...

Something happened down here,
and you are right,

he's not gonna press charges.

But not because
nothing happened here,

because he is worried
about his reputation.

That's something
you're familiar with, isn't it?

I'm happy to play this act

in front of your little buddy
over there.

I know what you're into.

And I know
what you know about pain.

♪

Don't fuck with me...

Detective.

We're done here.

So he just denied everything
and you believed it?

Yeah.
He said it was consensual.

And the kid doesn't want
to press charges.

That's a relief.

No paperwork for you.

Gino, the dungeon room does not
match the room you were in.

Sam is not the guy.

Come here for a second.

I worked with an artist
down at the paper

to come up with a sketch

based on what I could remember.

This could be
something to go on.

I don't think
it's enough to go on.

I don't think you were
in your right state of mind

to remember anything about
this guy's face.

Why are you shutting me down?

You're a cop.
Protect and fucking serve.

All right,
what do you want me to do?

Stop creating obstacles.
Stop lying to me.

Oh, c-can you just not?!

Oh, you...
Your ex-wife came to me

with a box full of
your secret gear.

- Can I just not what?
- Okay,

Gino, yeah. I like to go
to leather bars.

Okay? I used to go
to leather bars!

Are you happy now?

But you felt
you had to lie to me.

I had to lie to everybody
about it.

Why?

I don't know.

There's nothing
to be ashamed of.

Yeah. True.

But it's hotter
when it feels like there is.

Oh, God.

By that logic,

murder should be
a fucking blast.

Well, for somebody in this city,
it is,

and they have to be stopped.

Look, Gino, I thought
I was onto something

with this Stewart guy
and the pay phone,

- but that...
- I've spoken to a handful of people

who have all mentioned
the pay phone.

Maybe that's the way
that we catch this guy.

Great, but I am not
a private detective,

and I have to answer to people.

Can you imagine everybody
down at the precinct

laughing at me when I say

that I want to stake out
a sex phone?

But-but isn't that
what you want to do?

Even if it's...

wrong?

Even if it's... bad?

Even if you know you shouldn't?

Gino.

Doesn't it make you...

a little hard?

Sneaking off to a leather bar
like that

without asking for permission?

You're not afraid of
a little punishment, are you?

Got another cig?

My last one.

Buy you a drink?

I'm waiting for someone.

For a little while.

Wow. Now you have my attention.

Where do we go from here?

I guess that depends on

how far you're willing to go
from here.

I will go

You'll have to find me.

Louis' problem.

It was called... I kid you not...

A fistula.

That's not an ailment.

That's something
you pay big bucks for.

But fear not,

a courageous surgeon agreed
to operate,

after experimenting
on 75 volunteers

- from the local jail.
- Hey.

What do you got back there?

They gave up their lives...

What do you need?

Maybe you could use
a little toke.

The surgeon came up with
a medical implement

to cure Louis' fistula.

What's your name, anyhow?

I'm waiting for someone.

That's too bad.

Look.

That's him.

Best as I can remember him.

Definitely not Big Daddy.

Two killers?

Please, just watch yourself.

is very powerful.

And, uh...

I've been hearing
some dark shit about him.

It's not the first time
I've scrubbed blood

off of this floor.

Just not usually this much.

What do your New Jersey benefactors

think about all this mess?

They like it when
no one north of 14th

is talking about it.

Well... they are now.

Look, this place is gonna be
packed again tonight.

There's no cowards
when it comes to getting laid.

Have you seen him before?

This man kidnapped me.
I think he's the killer.

Yeah. He was here
the other night, I'm sure.

You can just feel the dark
energy when he's around.

I thought it was
'cause maybe he was in Vietnam.

- Those guys are all fucked-up.
- No, that's him.

He needs to be captured.
I'm tired of waiting for help.

Please.

Just let me put some of
these flyers up here.

with The Ascension Bar.

Can't guarantee that last part, though.

My friend, who I'm meeting, can.
He's a... he's a member.

- I work there.

- Uh, do you mind if I posted some of these really quick?

than surrender my style.

What about a big guy
into leather?

Goes by the name Big Daddy?

give him my address.

Oh, hello.

Hey, doll.

Your little friend is in there.

I'll take you to him.

Thank you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Two domestic beers, please.

Tonight we're drinking beer.

Why?

Because I want to feel
what it feels like

to be the typical American man.

I would like to...

experience the liberation
of banality.

Is that what you think of me?

- Why did you invite me here?
- Whoa.

Don't you think the Budweiser's
enough banality for the evening?

You have this boyfriend.

You hook up at parties
and in the bars.

I mean, none of that's my scene,
you know?

I don't want to get my hopes up
for someone...

Thanks.

You trying to ask me
to go steady?

Have you seen this man?

"Have you seen this man?"

"If so, pl..."
Is that your number?

Yes. I know who this is.

He slithered in here last night.

Didn't get lucky, though.

And you didn't call the police?

Hello, 911.

This is The Brownstone.

There's a man trying
to pick up another man.

Call Kojak and the Mod Squad.

I moved here when I was 13...

I was a runaway from Wyoming...

And between the hitchhiking
and the Trailways,

men tried to murder me
three times.

Another one tried an hour after
I crossed the GW into Manhattan.

And over the years,
I have lost friends and...

acquaintances and lovers

to men with knives
and guns and fists

and broken bottles.

And if I had tried to find out
what happened to all of them,

I wouldn't be here now.
Would I?

I hate to ruin your night,
but here's what happened to me.

The last time I was here,

I was drugged by a drink
that you bought me,

kidnaped, tortured
and I barely got out alive.

Mm.

I'm sorry that happened to you.

I didn't drug you.

This has nothing to do with me.

Keep telling yourself that.

It won't protect you
or anyone else.
