Original subtitles

What does "broccoli" mean?

Depends on the context Pubic hair or marijuana It's a noun

And "Virginia"?

Vagina As in, "He penetrated her Virginia with a hammer"

Yikes! Slang is either sexual or violent

Or both

When it's witty, I think it's really witty

Yeah

I nodded

Are you happy when you wake up?

Miss Avery, there was a homicide in your neighborhood on the 15th

That'd be Saturday the 15th, last Saturday

between 12 and 2 am

Her body, or part of her body, to be exact

was found in the garden outside your window

That's why I wanted to talk to you, in case you saw or heard anything

No No, nothing unusual

Frannie, it's John Graham Are you by yourself?

I don't think you're there by yourself

Why did you lie to me?

Doesn't it mean anything to you that we slept together twice?

Yes, I do count that time in the shower Quiet!

Come on, pick up the phone

He's got a good memory No, we have your credit-card receipt

Does that look familiar?

That's right

I was at the Red Turtle with one of my students

One of your students? Cornelius Webb

But it was early It was 3:30

I was there for a short time, then I went home

Cornelius Webb?

Is that with two B's or not two B's?

W-E-B-B

You were in the front room the whole time?

Yes Are you sure?

Didn't I just say so?

You didn't happen to see a Caucasian girl, mid-20s?

Not too tall Good-looking, wouldn't you say?

What? She was good-looking?

She wasn't bad-looking Yeah, but she

Well, did you?

What is this about, exactly? Listen, Miss Avery

the deceased was seen in the Red Turtle the same night you were there

Seeing how you were there

maybe you wouldn't mind taking a look at a few pictures

Sometimes you see something you don't remember

Take a deep breath This one's kind of graphic

Well, do you recognize her?

No

Thank you

Hey Can't figure you out

What do you mean? Am I a murder suspect?

Look, I was wondering if you want to go for a beer or something

I got a cousin who works in a bar in Sheridan Square

What's wrong?

It's so humiliating

Is it the doctor?

Do you want to go up?

Okay

Thanks, guys

Good luck Feel better

What happened? His receptionist called me

with a referral to another doctor

He canceled our appointment

Was this after you had sex? He's right

He shouldn't have had sex with me I mean, of course he's right

Do you ever think about just imagining sex?

What do you mean? Just thinking about the doctor

not making appointments Just

Just not really trying to have sex with him in reality

That's kind of boring

I mean, I do I do restrain myself

You know, I just I got so enthusiastic

when I thought about him, and it confused me

because I think enthusiasm is a good thing, you know

I mean, I think about

How many appointments did you make?

Last week?

Eleven

How about I put on some music?

I waited outside his apartment

I saw him and his wife

and I followed her to the dry cleaner

She left a tan suit

Did you pick it up?

What are you gonna do with it? I don't know

I feel like such a freak

This is what I do to get a dick inside me

You're not a freak

I admire you

You live out of your unconscious

You're a poet of love

The lovelorn man who

Sick in soul and of this Busy human heart aweary

Worships the spirit Of unconscious life

In tree or wildflower Gentle lunatic

"Gentle lunatic" That's me

I have something for you

It's like a belated birthday thing

I got it when I was styling that commercial that got canceled

Oh, God, that's beautiful

What is it? It's a courtship fantasy

See, there's a little wedding bell and a little house

Open the baby carriage

Oh, God

Oh, no, am I gonna have to feed this thing?

You should have a baby

This is the closest I'll get

And a man You should have a man too

Somebody asked me out

Good

Who?

A police detective

He's investigating a girl's murder You know the one who got cut up?

Oh, my God Yeah

Part of her body was found in my garden

Yuck

So is this detective good-looking?

He seems young He's got a mustache

They've all got that

You didn't say no, Frannie?

Frannie?

You gotta go Just for the exercise, you should go

You wanna borrow some decent clothing?

Can we look? I think you should

Can you come with me? Come on

Get the woman a gin and tonic, and I'll have a bourbon and Coke

You got it

You know, I'm wondering if maybe you saw something at that bar

I'm still wondering

Maybe something you don't know you saw

Your colored boyfriend, did he leave with you?

Cornelius? He's not my boyfriend

And he left before me

You saw him leave?

Actually, no

He's not into popping arms off of ladies' bodies, is he?

Not that I know about

What, my hands?

Well, yeah, I know, I got faggot hands

They're soft

Actually, I was wondering about your tattoo

Oh, that?

I'm in a secret club

Are there many members?

Hey, listen

I can be whatever you want me to be

You want me to romance you, take you to a classy restaurant, no problem

You want me to be your best friend and fuck you

treat you good, lick your pussy

no problem

Ain't much I haven't done

The only thing I won't do is beat you up

Why does your partner carry a water pistol?

They took his gun away Why did they take his gun away?

Because

his wife caught him fucking a fat chick

When she found out she ran upstairs and tosses

his Hispanic Society trophy out the window

And you know, that's pretty much when he tried to kill her

That's a good reason to kill your wife, of all the reasons that I can think of

He wasn't gonna kill her, lady

He was just trying to scare her

That was his San Juan Man of the Year Award, you know?

Ritchie takes that stuff seriously

So those fat-fucking-fucks from IA, they got ahold of him

they take his gun, take his badge

they put him on modified duty and now he's a house mouse

What are house mouses?

The guys who don't want to be on the streets no more

or they're on modified duty like him

You stare back at them That's how you flirt with black girls

Hey, Ritchie, what the fuck? They let you out?

What am I gonna do? What can I do?

Nothing You can't do nothing

Come here, bro

If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right

Don't be You want a drink? Yeah

Hi

How you doing? Hey, barkeep

two shots of bourbon and two bourbon and Cokes

I had to park on Christopher Street

Must have been 100 faggots looking to suck my dick

I'm jealous Are all cops homophobic?

What are you, one of them feminists?

I thought you might be one as well, detective

Why? Malloy says that you like fat women

You told her that? Yeah, why not?

Made me think you had a generous, even a sympathetic, view

You like fat girls? Yeah

Yeah, why? I like fat chicks

That chick Yeah What's up?

That chick wants to suck your dick

All you need are tits, a hole and a heartbeat

You don't even need the tits

You don't even need the heartbeat, pal

You going fishing?

Want me to clock you out? No, I'll stay for a while

Miss?

I didn't hit you

I'm not It's not my fault

Are you okay, miss? Yeah

Are you okay? Yes

I give you a ride Okay

Are?

Okay

You okay? Do you have a phone?

I give you

Malloy?

It's me

Oh, yeah Yeah, it looked a lot worse than it is

You'll be all right It's just a scrape

Did you get a look at him?

No, he was wearing a mask

Anything stand out? Like

a smell, rings on his fingers, watch, shoes, anything?

How was that girl killed?

Who? The girl killed at the Red Turtle

Angela Sands?

She wasn't killed at the Red Turtle You're getting confused

What is "disarticulation" exactly?

Listen, it's not likely that your assailant's the murderer, babe

It's much more likely he's after your wallet

So you won't tell me how she was killed?

You really want to know?

Her throat was slit with a straight razor

He was trying to take her head, maybe for a souvenir

We found another dismembered female body last June along the river

I think it's the same killer Ritchie don't, but I do

Go over it again

No Show me

Come here Show me

He came from behind you? I don't know

Did you turn?

He just grabbed my head in his arm He had his arm around my neck

So he must have come up from behind you, then

Was it his right arm?

Or his left?

It was his right

All right

What's that?

Take those off

No

What? Yeah

That's it

That's it

I've been wondering about you Yeah? Don't

I want to know Know what?

How you did that to me

Somebody taught you

Who was that? Get the fuck out of here

You can tell me

An older woman

An older woman, huh?

The chicken lady

The chicken lady? Oh, you know her?

When I was 15, I was delivering chickens for a butcher

to housewives for a buck a chicken

The first time I show up there, it was fucking hot, and

I came to the door, she offered me a glass of water

So we're in the kitchen talking about the weather or some shit

and she just reaches out, she grabs ahold of my joint

She asks me:

"Does that feel good?" I said, "Yeah"

And she asks me, "You ever been with a woman?"

And I said, "Yeah No"

So she takes me into the bedroom

She takes her clothes off, and she's a real woman

I mean, she's got pubic hair from here to here

It's black and curly like those Spanish girls

And I want to get the fuck out of there, so she grabs me

and says, "Have you ever kissed a girl down there?"

I said, "No"

So she wets her fingers

She touches herself real soft

She touches her clit and tells me to lick there

Tells me to put my tongue there, take my time, lick in a slow circle

And after a while she came

She asked me to give her

Get on top of her and look her in the eyes

Why did you go back? My kids I missed my kids

I didn't know you had kids

How would you?

My oldest boy wants to be a teacher I don't know what happened to him

It's like Martians landed and took over his brain

What does he want to teach? Schmoogs Can you believe it?

Hey, I'm missing one of my

I'm missing one of the charms on my bracelet

Maybe on West Broadway

Hey

there's something I really do have to tell you

Oh, yeah?

You've seen me before I've seen you at the Red Turtle

This whole time, I'm thinking, "I've seen this girl before"

And now you're telling me I met you at the Red Turtle

I don't think so, babe It was dark

and I had on my glasses

And there was a man

and a girl, and she was giving him a blowjob

A blowjob?

And I watched Oh, you did, did you?

You like that sort of thing? You like watching?

You don't remember a girl with blue fingernails with diamonds in them?

What did you say? Blue fingernails?

She had brown hair? Yes

Yeah, what about her?

I think that's Angela Sands That's the girl that was murdered

But I wasn't with her I think you saw something

You should come to the station and look at some pictures

as soon as possible

Swear you weren't there Swear to God

I never seen you or her before in my entire fucking life

I gotta get out of here

Hey, I had a nice time

Thanks

Oh, God, I could have lost you

Then you let the detective fuck you I didn't let him, I wanted to

Have you ordered? Double latte, no foam

Yeah

It's sore, huh?

So the detective guy's sexy?

You like him? You gonna see him again?

Would you trust a guy who gets blowjobs in bars?

Yes

I think he's a liar

You think he's a liar, or he is a liar? Because, of course, we never lie, so

I saw him in a bar with a girl

Wait

A bar? Yeah

I thought you just met him I thought that he rescued you

Lf you don't want him, I'll take him Forget it, Pauline Forget it

No, arrange an introduction with your lying detective

Who's that?

John Graham

I thought you said he looked like a movie star?

He played a doctor on a soap Now he's studying to be one

Hi

You look terrible Excuse me, sir No dogs in here

I know that

Will you be long? I just ordered a coffee

You're very tan Hi, John Graham

Pauline How are you?

Take your time I'll wait

Don't look out there, because he's watching you

Oh, he's so intense

I remember every guy I ever fucked

by how he liked to do it, not how I wanted to do it

Sometimes I think it's just me I mean, are other women able to say:

"Suck my dick, pinch my nipples, bend over"?

Probably not "suck my dick"

Here's what I think

I think you can come over to my place and sleep there for a few nights

maybe even a week It would make me really happy

And the mugger has your wallet, so he's gonna know where you live

You know, you really have to see this detective again

I ordered a coffee

Miss, we ordered a latte

No foam No foam, very, very dry Thank you

He's still there

Whose car did you get into yesterday? It looked like it'd just come from Beirut

Whose car did you get into yesterday? It looked like it'd just come from Beirut

I don't know how people can drive around in filthy cars

Maybe one of my students Are you dating a student?

Pardon?

You went to the Red Turtle Bar with a black student

Are you dating him? No

I saw you last Saturday

What were you doing? Is that the point? I don't think so

The point is that he could get the wrong idea

You don't know how guys think

Are you all right, John?

Not really I've

I've been having these panic attacks lately

I don't know They're pretty bad What happens?

Do you ever get these funny images

from the past, like you saw something or you knew something?

Weird memories from childhood?

I just wish I didn't keep having these funny attacks My brain

Well, my brain practically explodes I'm gonna go on antidepressants

I need to ask you a favor

Do you think you could take care of Patrick?

He's barking all the time Probably because my hours are so long

John, I can't take care of a dog

Especially not my dog, right? You'd rather cut his head off

No, not especially your dog

Why don't you put up a notice or something

Put up a notice? Where am I? I'm in the hospital 18 hours out of 2 4

You don't get it, do you?

Well, okay Come here

Say goodbye

John, are you gonna put him down?

Maybe I don't know, maybe I will

I could do it myself I could shave his little arm

I don't think it's a good idea that we see each other

Fuck!

Fuck

Well

Fuck

Well, this is out of the blue

I'm gonna

I'm gonna have to think about this

Midway along the journey of our life I woke to find myself in a dark wood

for I had wandered off from the straight path

Thanks

Thank you

I fell over

Truly? Yours truly

You don't never talk

It's always just jive Well, I like to be ironic

I'm looking for Miss Avery, Francis Avery?

She's gone Her class is finished It's over?

Which one is it? This one down here? She might still be in the staff lounge

I've been thinking on Gacy, you know?

Pogo the Clown?

I've been thinking that it wasn't his fault, you know?

Like, he were the victim

What do you know about Cornelius Webb?

Of what?

Desire

Aren't you gonna help carry my bag? No

You're an Amazon, Miss Avery That's like an insult

So we're here? Yeah

Hey, Papi Hey, baby

I'm gonna help you upstairs No, I got it Thank you

No, let me help you upstairs I really don't Okay, bye

Good night

Let me get this for you I got it Thank you, Cornelius

You okay? Yeah

Oh, that turned me on That was nice Give me a kiss

Go away, man! Don't do that Come here

Don't do that Sit right here Oh, you are so sexy

Help me put my earring back in Come here

In 1978, Mr John Wayne Gacy was in trouble

when the police dug up a dead body under his cellar

When the police were done, they had 2 7 dead bodies

Most of them from under the house

He said he was innocent of the crime

and sometimes he said that he loved those boys

He never said he was sorry

Not even at the end, when they gave him his lethal injection

"He was chatty, " his guard said

He wanted to discuss the Chicago Cubs and eat fried chicken

I'm gonna take a sleeping pill Two, in fact

Do you want one?

No

It's so fucking noisy I can't sleep I have to move

I mean, clearly, I have got to move

Why don't you see him again

You're brave in so many ways You're thinking about him, right?

About sex So?

You wouldn't be thinking about the sex if you didn't like him

Well, at least call him He doesn't know where you are

I go to court tomorrow

because of the tan suit

They're trying to get a restraining order against me

Probably won't be allowed within 500 miles of Dr Cass' office

Yeah, laugh it up

You know what I'm thinking? What to wear

No, I'm imagining that when he sees me

he's gonna realize that he's in love with me, and, you know

one thing will lead to another, and after a love child or two

we'll get married

Have I ever told you how our father proposed to my mother?

No Tell me

Well, when he was very young, he was

very handsome and an excellent skater

And she was the new girl in town, barely able to skate

She was very, very innocent Very beautiful

Of course

And he was already engaged, but he couldn't stop watching my mother

This is my song

And finally

his fianc馥 got very jealous and

I would too

And threw that engagement ring right back at him

Whoa And that very same day

he took my mother by the hand

he danced her out to the middle of the forest-fringed lake

he got down on one knee

and offered her the very same engagement ring

Oh, that's nice

And at that precise moment, which is the thing my mother always added

it started to snow

That's very romantic

I don't quite believe it

But that's my mother's story

That's the way she always told it, you know

He killed her

When he left, she just went crazy with grief

You know, she didn't understand it She just couldn't believe it

How many times has Dad been married?

Four Four? He never married my mother

Yeah, he was already plotting the fifth

I want to get married once

just for my mom

Is a husband too much for me to ask for?

It's too hot

Even Angela Sands had a fianc藪

Yeah Well, he probably cut her head off

That's sad

I'll see you later on, doc Sure

I'm gonna start opening up the machine

Open her slightly, let some fluid out, and we'll catch it at the catch basin

On three One, two, three

I'm taking out the first article of clothing I've got

It appears to be a woman's left hand, and on it is

a ring with a white stone in it Do me a favor Get a close-up of that

It appears to be Possibly a serrated blade

Come over here with me, and what I'd like to do is get another shot

Over here, give me a close-up on that

Thank you You got the close-up on the ring, correct?

Got it Okay

We're gonna start taking out Detective Malloy

That pussy that I like

And you slip your middle finger in

It's deep It's soaking wet

You run your finger up, and your clit's right there

It comes down to meet you It jumps in your hand

When you touch a woman and her clit's like that

Oh, yeah, pictures No problem

Who's that?

Really? I thought the guy was wearing a mask

You couldn't see his face? No, I couldn't

Your food is ready Your curry tofu

I gotta get something to eat

You hungry? You like calamari?

There's this place on Arthur Ave Ritchie

When did you start liking white women?

About the same time as you

See you later

Let's get the fuck out of here This place is too fucking busy

Come on Let's go somewhere quiet

How did you get to be a homicide detective so young?

Me? Yeah

In a word? Yeah

Compassion I took the desk no one else wanted

What desk was that?

The desk next to the holding cell You know, so I talked to the perps

Gave them cigarettes, gum, so they start to trust you

You know, start telling you things you want to know

After a while, you pull down a big confession I got some bumps up

Hey

How long do you think?

How long you suppose a woman needs to know a guy

before she'll get engaged to him?

Shortest amount of time Come on, Malloy

How long? Oh, I don't know I guess it depends

It took my mother about a half-hour You're kidding me?

No

What'd your father do? Romance her to fall in love? Put a gun to her head?

How'd that happen? Yeah Yeah

O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms Alone and palely loitering?

The sedge has withered From the lake, and no birds sing

What's "sedge"? Ferns

This looks like a place where they dump bodies

What's in these bags?

Garbage

Go on, try it

No I'm frightened of guns Why don't you learn to use one

Go on

Go on

How do you hold this thing? Do you? One hand or two?

Hold it any way you want Just don't hold it this way

Again

You have to hold it with two hands Yeah Try aiming this time

Try Go on Try

Cheap piece of shit

Let's see what good kissers we are

We already kissed No, not really

Come on, Miss Isthmus

You used to do this when you were a kid?

I went to boarding school

You're here for the sex, right?

You don't go nowhere with me, I didn't fuck you

Yeah, all right

Would you get engaged to me?

Is this about the murder? No

Yeah, I can't get the sick fuck out of my head

While we were kissing? All the fucking time

So do you want to stop by my place?

Yeah

I gotta tell you, I'm going away for a while

Probably not gonna be able to talk to you for a little bit

Where are you going? Florida

It's all paid for so I could have some time with my kids

Is your wife going? My ex-wife? Yeah

No, your wife Get the fuck out of here

I sleep on the fucking couch All right?

It's complicated

I didn't have money to get an apartment

so I went to live with my mother She's worse than my wife

Three years ago I moved back We don't sleep together

I moved back for my kids, okay? She can't control my kids

Do you ever tell the truth?

Where you going? I'll give you a ride home

Hey!

Something wrong?

How did you get in?

I hope you don't mind I took a shower

You know, you might want to check your messages

That student of yours has been taken in for questioning

The police found his term paper illustrated in blood

That's a little weird, isn't it? You want some tea?

I have to go out

Actually, the real reason that I'm here is because

I thought I should tell you that I'm gonna call Pauline and ask her out

Really?

Did I ever tell you that my mother

used to dress me in girls' blouses?

Yes, I think you did

So do you think it's a good idea? What?

About Pauline I think it's a good idea, but, you know

Then again, I hardly know her at all

I don't think Pauline will sleep with you, if that's what you're thinking

You're right You're right What?

What am I thinking? She's worse than you are

Have sex with me? I must be out of my fucking mind

Will you have sex with me?

Shit! I'm out of my fucking mind Will you have sex with me?

Now

Thinking back on the course Of my passion

I was like one blind Unafraid of the dark

Have you seen Pauline? No

She hasn't come in tonight? No, she hasn't, but

just let me check, okay? Have you seen Pauline?

No

Myself, I hate to drink alone

Pauline?

Pauline?

Are you alone?

Frannie

Frannie

Frannie, it's Malloy

Hon, I gotta take that bag away from you

I gotta take the bag Come on

I know I know I gotta take it

Hey, Jackie Yeah

Can you get her to 622 on 6th Street? No problem

I was at the morgue I'm sorry they made you wait

I told them to let you go home

I need to ask you some questions about Pauline, Frannie

Let's go

When I was 13

my father left me in Geneva

He was called away to Washington for five days

He said later that it never occurred to him that I wouldn't be all right

Pauline said that I failed to take advantage of the situation

That I should have ordered

hundreds of boxes of chocolate, that I should have made a snowman

Was Pauline engaged? No

You recognize this? We found it on her left third finger

No Is that it? Is that his signature?

Yeah, it's his signature

I want to know what happened I want to know if it was quick

Why do you think knowing's gonna make a difference, Frannie?

I thought that all my life You're wrong

Knowing don't mean shit "Doesn't" mean shit

This guy must have known her

He strangled her

till she lost consciousness, probably in the bedroom

then dragged her into the bathroom and cut her throat

Cut through the windpipe, the jugular, the epiglottis, the hyoid, the tongue

He held her by her hair and cut all around

This guy likes blood

When he got to the vertebrae

he needed a bigger knife to cut through that, and he had one

He pulled the drain in the sinks before he left

so he left us nothing that could help us

It scares me that this guy knows about drains

I'm gonna go back to the apartment

There's something I know, but I don't know it yet

Sometimes it helps just to sit there How will you get in?

I got a key

You have a key? Yeah

You have her key?

I guess so I have a key Did you kill her?

Sgt Lawrence, can you give Miss Avery a drive home?

Yes Get the fuck out of here

Who is it? Malloy?

It's me Cornelius

I heard about your friend It's all over the TV

My sister

The other shoe's holding the door open, upstairs in my

Fuck who? Fuck him! That cop

What cop? Fuck him!

Ritchie said you were screaming half-naked out the window

You were a long time Yeah, I was working

Getting a blowjob? Isn't that your line of work?

What is it?

No such thing as a bad blowjob

Well, you're wrong there Some women give terrible blowjobs

No rhythm at all No sense of cock whatsoever

Good phrase, "no sense of cock"

Yes, that must be terrible

Frannie, we got a problem here

Want me to go, I'll go Want me to stay, I'll stay Gotta want something

You're smarter than me I'm running to keep up

I'm scared of what I want Why? Is it a lot?

Yeah, it's a lot

That's the problem with women You can never be satisfied

I'm sorry

Why? You didn't do nothing I'm sorry you feel that way

Your problem is, you're fucking exhausting

You wanna hang up his jacket?

Are you cold?

Don't cry

Hey, hey

You ever been in love?

See, I met this girl

I've been thinking about her my whole life

You know, dreaming about her

But the thing is

I don't know if she loves me

I mean, all women want love, right?

What about you?
