1
00:00:08,974 --> 00:00:13,884
It's funny the things that
you remember from school.

2
00:00:13,979 --> 00:00:15,429
One of my history teachers
told me

3
00:00:15,532 --> 00:00:18,022
that after the Indians
killed Custer,

4
00:00:18,121 --> 00:00:20,091
two squaws shoved needles
in his ears

5
00:00:20,192 --> 00:00:24,372
so that he'd learn to listen
better in the afterlife.

6
00:00:30,444 --> 00:00:33,034
You should've listened better.

7
00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:52,640
- Hey.
- Hey.

8
00:00:55,124 --> 00:00:56,334
Where is everyone?

9
00:00:56,435 --> 00:00:57,675
"Everyone"?

10
00:00:57,816 --> 00:00:59,266
You're supposed to call
the station, bring backup.

11
00:00:59,369 --> 00:01:02,299
Trust me when I tell you, Gino,
they would not have come.

12
00:01:02,407 --> 00:01:04,237
Do you have my gun?

13
00:01:08,689 --> 00:01:10,929
Is this the place?

14
00:01:11,036 --> 00:01:12,106
It's right down there.

15
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,280
All right.

16
00:01:17,249 --> 00:01:19,869
Okay, what are you doing?

17
00:01:20,010 --> 00:01:21,120
What are you talking about
what am I doing?

18
00:01:21,219 --> 00:01:22,699
No, this is not
how it works, Gino.

19
00:01:22,841 --> 00:01:24,951
Okay, I can handle this.
You stay here.

20
00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:26,880
Excuse me, that fucker
tortured me.

21
00:01:27,017 --> 00:01:28,357
I'm gonna be a part of this.

22
00:01:30,676 --> 00:01:31,946
No, you're not.

23
00:01:32,057 --> 00:01:33,647
I am coming with you.

24
00:01:33,748 --> 00:01:35,198
And the longer you sit here
and think about it,

25
00:01:35,336 --> 00:01:37,436
the more likely it is that Henry
is gonna get killed.

26
00:01:38,512 --> 00:01:41,272
Jesus fucking Christ.

27
00:01:41,377 --> 00:01:44,307
You want to be fucking
Rock Hudson?

28
00:01:44,414 --> 00:01:48,144
You're not going in without
Susan Saint James.

29
00:02:07,575 --> 00:02:09,465
Jesus.

30
00:02:09,577 --> 00:02:10,817
What are our lives
gonna be like

31
00:02:10,923 --> 00:02:13,313
when we're not
hunting serial killers?

32
00:02:13,409 --> 00:02:16,099
Boring and pointless.

33
00:02:17,861 --> 00:02:21,491
Eating pasta every night
and watching <i>Hollywood Squares.</i>

34
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:24,179
That sounds kind of perfect.

35
00:02:37,778 --> 00:02:40,368
Oh, shit.

36
00:02:48,133 --> 00:02:51,863
Okay, okay...

37
00:02:54,243 --> 00:02:56,973
All the sudden,
I'm starting not to like this.

38
00:02:57,073 --> 00:02:59,733
Oh, come on, Gino.

39
00:02:59,869 --> 00:03:01,769
You're a reporter.

40
00:03:01,871 --> 00:03:04,531
Treat it like
one of your stories.

41
00:03:06,531 --> 00:03:10,221
Somehow, in journalism school,
I missed the course on

42
00:03:10,362 --> 00:03:12,232
breaking into
the murderer's lair.

43
00:03:16,230 --> 00:03:18,720
What's that?

44
00:03:36,768 --> 00:03:38,938
Is he alive?

45
00:03:39,046 --> 00:03:41,006
Yeah, he's still alive.

46
00:03:51,334 --> 00:03:53,414
Jesus.

47
00:04:05,279 --> 00:04:08,349
Fucking holy mother of God.

48
00:06:16,168 --> 00:06:18,478
Damn it.

49
00:06:18,619 --> 00:06:20,449
I can't believe
this is happening.

50
00:06:20,552 --> 00:06:21,832
Got to get out of here.

51
00:06:21,967 --> 00:06:23,937
Well, there's an idea.
I hadn't thought of that.

52
00:06:24,038 --> 00:06:25,588
We should get out of here.

53
00:06:27,007 --> 00:06:28,907
Patrick!

54
00:06:29,009 --> 00:06:31,179
Don't. Don't do that.

55
00:06:31,287 --> 00:06:32,177
It doesn't help.

56
00:06:32,288 --> 00:06:33,498
Also...

57
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,600
He's too young for you.

58
00:06:34,704 --> 00:06:36,264
What?

59
00:06:36,361 --> 00:06:37,741
I'm just saying, in my opinion,

60
00:06:37,845 --> 00:06:39,605
a gentleman of your élan
should be with someone

61
00:06:39,709 --> 00:06:43,509
who's a more suitable,
sophisticated life partner.

62
00:06:43,644 --> 00:06:46,034
I-I should've listened
to him more.

63
00:06:46,164 --> 00:06:48,204
I shouldn't have been
so unforgiving.

64
00:06:48,338 --> 00:06:50,338
God, this lament.

65
00:06:50,444 --> 00:06:51,794
Oh, why couldn't he have taken
my other ear?

66
00:06:53,136 --> 00:06:54,756
Fuck!

67
00:06:54,862 --> 00:06:56,592
Fuck.

68
00:06:57,969 --> 00:07:00,039
Thank God you're alive.

69
00:07:03,008 --> 00:07:05,488
I didn't think
you were coming back.

70
00:07:07,392 --> 00:07:10,152
I'm sorry about the tenderizer.

71
00:07:13,467 --> 00:07:16,677
I just-- I had to have something
that would work really fast.

72
00:07:16,781 --> 00:07:20,441
I-I gauged my swing so I
wouldn't tenderize your brain.

73
00:07:20,543 --> 00:07:23,893
And the gag, I-I don't like
hearing people scream in pain.

74
00:07:25,306 --> 00:07:27,166
That's not why I do this.

75
00:07:38,665 --> 00:07:43,005
I wanted to get you alone
so we could talk.

76
00:07:44,671 --> 00:07:47,741
I just have to tell you...

77
00:07:47,846 --> 00:07:49,466
I'm a fan.

78
00:07:49,572 --> 00:07:52,992
I admire you so much.

79
00:07:53,093 --> 00:07:56,483
Must be hell being
in that precinct.

80
00:07:56,579 --> 00:08:00,029
What you go through on a daily
basis, I can only imagine.

81
00:08:02,551 --> 00:08:07,421
And even though we're kind of
working at cross purposes,

82
00:08:07,556 --> 00:08:09,556
I made a little change of plan.

83
00:08:13,734 --> 00:08:15,744
I already gave him a heart.

84
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,570
But it's a heart from someone
of no consequence.

85
00:08:18,670 --> 00:08:20,740
But a sentinel,

86
00:08:20,845 --> 00:08:23,045
a beacon of hope
for the entire community,

87
00:08:23,192 --> 00:08:25,192
deserves better...

88
00:08:26,298 --> 00:08:28,508
Don't you think?

89
00:08:28,611 --> 00:08:31,681
So, I'm going to give him
your heart.

90
00:08:34,686 --> 00:08:37,686
A noble, beating heart.

91
00:08:43,557 --> 00:08:46,037
I hope you realize
what an honor this is.

92
00:08:47,216 --> 00:08:51,526
But please bear with me first.

93
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,440
I've got to correct a mistake.

94
00:09:12,621 --> 00:09:15,831
What could you possibly
be laughing at?

95
00:09:15,934 --> 00:09:17,284
That's a viscera chart.

96
00:09:17,384 --> 00:09:18,944
Look.

97
00:09:19,041 --> 00:09:22,151
That chart, it shows all
the parts they threw away.

98
00:09:22,251 --> 00:09:25,571
That's what this room was for.

99
00:09:25,668 --> 00:09:29,848
That's why he put us here,
what he thinks of us.

100
00:09:29,948 --> 00:09:31,608
Fuck.

101
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:38,580
What are you doing?

102
00:09:38,681 --> 00:09:40,511
Destroying my hand
is what I'm doing.

103
00:09:40,614 --> 00:09:42,314
It's really gonna cut down
on my self-love.

104
00:09:49,312 --> 00:09:50,352
Oh.

105
00:09:50,486 --> 00:09:52,176
Jesus, you did it.
You fucking did it.

106
00:09:52,315 --> 00:09:53,585
Shh, shh, shh.

107
00:09:53,696 --> 00:09:55,626
Not so quick, Tinkerbell.

108
00:09:55,733 --> 00:09:58,113
Oh, this other one is too tight.

109
00:09:58,218 --> 00:10:00,288
It's not gonna loosen up. God.

110
00:10:00,392 --> 00:10:02,952
Then get something
to get us free.

111
00:10:03,050 --> 00:10:05,160
Keys, on the wall.

112
00:10:06,295 --> 00:10:08,295
And these tables don't move.

113
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,400
Try to find a-a small knife,
something to pick the lock.

114
00:10:11,541 --> 00:10:14,171
Who am I? Houdini, suddenly?

115
00:10:14,268 --> 00:10:15,888
Jesus.

116
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:22,240
Yes. Yes. Yes.

117
00:10:28,697 --> 00:10:30,007
Hurry.

118
00:10:37,015 --> 00:10:40,495
These tools aren't sharp enough
to cut through this metal cuff.

119
00:10:41,744 --> 00:10:45,204
Oh, I don't want to do that.

120
00:10:45,334 --> 00:10:47,204
Ooh, goddamn it,
I don't want to do that.

121
00:10:47,301 --> 00:10:49,201
Wh-What are you talking about?

122
00:10:49,338 --> 00:10:50,818
Do what?

123
00:10:52,721 --> 00:10:53,761
Oh, fuck it.

124
00:10:53,860 --> 00:10:55,280
I guess I deserve it.

125
00:10:55,378 --> 00:10:56,548
No. No, no.

126
00:10:56,690 --> 00:10:58,660
None of us deserve this.

127
00:11:00,176 --> 00:11:03,456
I could've stopped this fucker
a long time ago.

128
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,869
Deep down, I knew it was him.

129
00:11:06,010 --> 00:11:08,940
But I just buried my head
in the sand.

130
00:11:09,047 --> 00:11:12,947
I just decided that it didn't
affect me,

131
00:11:13,051 --> 00:11:16,261
and so I let people die.

132
00:11:17,711 --> 00:11:20,061
My people.

133
00:11:20,196 --> 00:11:22,536
Our people.

134
00:11:24,235 --> 00:11:27,615
Well, this is where...

135
00:11:29,102 --> 00:11:31,312
...I give something back.

136
00:11:32,864 --> 00:11:34,044
Henry, what are you doing?

137
00:11:34,141 --> 00:11:35,281
Henry?

138
00:11:37,248 --> 00:11:38,868
Henry, what are you...?

139
00:11:38,974 --> 00:11:40,154
No, Henry.

140
00:11:41,459 --> 00:11:42,869
No.

141
00:11:44,427 --> 00:11:45,907
No!

142
00:12:06,277 --> 00:12:07,757
Hey.

143
00:12:10,522 --> 00:12:12,282
Hey!

144
00:12:20,601 --> 00:12:23,121
So, you're making a beacon
of hope for our community.

145
00:12:24,536 --> 00:12:25,946
You really love
our community, huh?

146
00:12:26,055 --> 00:12:27,255
It's all I care about.

147
00:12:27,367 --> 00:12:28,327
Yeah?

148
00:12:28,471 --> 00:12:30,371
How many of us
do you have to butcher

149
00:12:30,508 --> 00:12:32,988
to make that... thing?

150
00:12:35,168 --> 00:12:38,028
The Sentinel has to
come from us.

151
00:12:38,171 --> 00:12:40,761
What would you have me use?
Straights?

152
00:12:40,863 --> 00:12:44,213
Some sacrifices were necessary.

153
00:12:44,349 --> 00:12:47,729
The deaths of our unfortunate
brothers proved something.

154
00:12:47,836 --> 00:12:50,006
Yeah, what?

155
00:12:50,114 --> 00:12:52,154
That no one cares about us.

156
00:12:52,254 --> 00:12:54,644
That no one cares
what happens to us.

157
00:12:54,739 --> 00:12:56,399
Especially the police.

158
00:12:56,534 --> 00:12:58,164
I think I proved my point,
don't you?

159
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,370
You really think this ugly
lump of dead meat

160
00:13:02,471 --> 00:13:04,201
is going to make a difference
to anybody?

161
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:06,540
He won't be dead.

162
00:13:06,682 --> 00:13:08,552
You've heard stories
about people

163
00:13:08,649 --> 00:13:10,339
who've fallen beneath the ice

164
00:13:10,479 --> 00:13:12,339
and survived for 20 minutes
before being revived?

165
00:13:12,446 --> 00:13:15,686
Right now he's being kept
fresh by embalming fluid,

166
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:17,585
but once your heart is in place,

167
00:13:17,693 --> 00:13:21,493
I'll drain the fluid,
transfuse some of my blood,

168
00:13:21,593 --> 00:13:23,013
an injection of adrenaline

169
00:13:23,112 --> 00:13:25,872
and a hit of the paddles...

170
00:13:27,047 --> 00:13:30,527
The blood will flow,
the heart will pump,

171
00:13:30,671 --> 00:13:32,541
and he'll live again,

172
00:13:32,673 --> 00:13:35,713
ready to take his place
among the world.

173
00:13:35,849 --> 00:13:38,369
It's all very exciting.

174
00:13:52,210 --> 00:13:53,690
Hey.

175
00:13:57,526 --> 00:13:59,286
There we go.

176
00:14:00,287 --> 00:14:02,837
Out with the old...

177
00:14:06,293 --> 00:14:07,613
...and in with the new.

178
00:14:11,195 --> 00:14:12,705
Get back, you sick fuck!

179
00:14:12,817 --> 00:14:15,717
I said get the fuck back!

180
00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:19,439
You should've killed me while
you had the chance, Whitely.

181
00:14:22,723 --> 00:14:23,623
Right?

182
00:14:23,724 --> 00:14:24,624
We're gonna make you pay

183
00:14:24,725 --> 00:14:26,065
for what you did
to those people.

184
00:14:26,210 --> 00:14:28,110
They died for the greater good.

185
00:14:28,212 --> 00:14:29,902
I'm doing something glorious,

186
00:14:30,041 --> 00:14:31,871
something that will
change the world.

187
00:14:31,974 --> 00:14:34,674
How did shoving needles
under my fingernails

188
00:14:34,804 --> 00:14:37,574
help you to change the world?

189
00:14:37,669 --> 00:14:41,049
I wasn't torturing you,
I was testing you.

190
00:14:41,156 --> 00:14:43,426
It's like that man
in the leather bar.

191
00:14:43,537 --> 00:14:46,087
I just knew right away
he wasn't worthy.

192
00:14:46,195 --> 00:14:48,575
And-and the parts that
I didn't use,

193
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,890
I left for the police to find.

194
00:14:50,993 --> 00:14:52,933
To show how powerless they were,

195
00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:54,270
and how little
they cared for us.

196
00:14:54,376 --> 00:14:56,096
You're going to tell me
that you didn't get off

197
00:14:56,205 --> 00:14:58,135
on all that just a little bit?

198
00:14:58,242 --> 00:14:59,592
I have my demons.

199
00:14:59,691 --> 00:15:01,311
I faced them that night

200
00:15:01,417 --> 00:15:03,827
you hired me to cut up
that boy, Henry.

201
00:15:08,321 --> 00:15:11,631
I confess, I enjoyed it.

202
00:15:11,738 --> 00:15:14,878
And that's the part of me that
needs to get burned away.

203
00:15:18,883 --> 00:15:20,853
No.

204
00:15:22,162 --> 00:15:24,202
All of you needs to
be burned away.

205
00:15:25,510 --> 00:15:27,130
The Sentinel is our salvation.

206
00:15:27,236 --> 00:15:28,646
He will save us.

207
00:15:28,755 --> 00:15:31,715
He will show the world our
suffering and will redeem us.

208
00:15:31,861 --> 00:15:35,311
The only one who needs
redemption is you, buddy.

209
00:15:56,162 --> 00:15:57,822
But you don't get it.

210
00:16:37,203 --> 00:16:39,553
Officer Read,
how's it feel to be a gay cop?

211
00:16:52,252 --> 00:16:55,432
I'm just as shocked as you are.

212
00:16:55,531 --> 00:16:59,021
But what can you
expect from a...

213
00:16:59,121 --> 00:17:01,611
"department that treats gays

214
00:17:01,710 --> 00:17:03,090
"like they don't exist,

215
00:17:03,194 --> 00:17:07,104
or worse, that they
shouldn't exist."

216
00:17:08,372 --> 00:17:11,792
You know, you surprise me, Mulcahey.

217
00:17:11,892 --> 00:17:13,482
Because I'm reading a fag rag?

218
00:17:13,584 --> 00:17:17,764
No. I didn't know
that you could read.

219
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:21,560
I would offer to
clear out my desk,

220
00:17:21,661 --> 00:17:24,731
but I'm pretty sure
that's painted shut.

221
00:17:24,836 --> 00:17:26,106
I don't need your badge,
Detective Read.

222
00:17:26,217 --> 00:17:27,427
Give it to someone who does.

223
00:17:27,529 --> 00:17:29,979
Would you hang on a second?

224
00:17:30,083 --> 00:17:31,503
Have a seat, would you?

225
00:17:31,636 --> 00:17:32,776
There's nothing left to say.

226
00:17:32,879 --> 00:17:35,159
Oh, yeah, that-that's
the truth right there.

227
00:17:35,295 --> 00:17:38,015
You pretty much said it all.

228
00:17:38,126 --> 00:17:41,156
Made us sound like
a lost division of the SS.

229
00:17:41,301 --> 00:17:43,511
You know, believe it or not,
I get where that comes from.

230
00:17:43,648 --> 00:17:45,648
Some of these guys, they, uh...

231
00:17:45,754 --> 00:17:48,344
Well, I don't need to tell you.

232
00:17:48,481 --> 00:17:50,621
Just wish you hadn't
gone to the press.

233
00:17:50,724 --> 00:17:51,834
You know?

234
00:17:51,932 --> 00:17:54,422
Doesn't mean you're
getting fired.

235
00:17:54,521 --> 00:17:56,831
What makes you think
I'm not quitting?

236
00:17:56,937 --> 00:18:00,317
Well, I hope you'll stick around
and help us fix this mess.

237
00:18:00,424 --> 00:18:03,844
Relations with your,
uh, community.

238
00:18:03,944 --> 00:18:05,884
You know, you can head up
a sort of outreach.

239
00:18:06,015 --> 00:18:08,465
You must be getting a lot of
heat from upstairs, huh?

240
00:18:08,570 --> 00:18:11,680
Look, whether I am or not,
I'm sincere about this.

241
00:18:11,814 --> 00:18:13,024
"Sincere."

242
00:18:16,612 --> 00:18:19,032
Why don't we start with
reopening every single case

243
00:18:19,132 --> 00:18:21,822
you swept under the rug because
one of the victims was gay, huh?

244
00:18:21,928 --> 00:18:23,828
And I'm just thinking off
the top of my head here.

245
00:18:23,930 --> 00:18:25,450
How about that poor teenage boy

246
00:18:25,552 --> 00:18:28,042
who was beat half to death
in the Bronx?

247
00:18:28,176 --> 00:18:29,866
Or the couple who were
kissing in public

248
00:18:29,970 --> 00:18:32,350
and got pelted with bricks
in the street?

249
00:18:32,490 --> 00:18:35,530
Or the assholes who turned up
with baseball bats

250
00:18:35,666 --> 00:18:38,006
to a private party
and smashed the place up?

251
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:40,047
And where are we, huh?

252
00:18:40,153 --> 00:18:43,363
Where the fuck are we with the
gay bar fire investigation?

253
00:18:43,501 --> 00:18:45,231
No?

254
00:18:46,194 --> 00:18:48,374
Not that sincere?

255
00:18:50,094 --> 00:18:51,754
Fuck you.

256
00:18:52,855 --> 00:18:55,405
Fuck this whole department.

257
00:18:56,894 --> 00:18:58,034
Detective Read.

258
00:18:58,137 --> 00:18:59,657
Nah, it's not "Detective"
anymore.

259
00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:01,109
No, sir.

260
00:19:02,486 --> 00:19:04,416
It's just Read now.

261
00:19:19,227 --> 00:19:21,707
Hey. Sorry about the wait.

262
00:19:21,850 --> 00:19:23,090
Had a little issue upstairs.

263
00:19:23,231 --> 00:19:27,411
So, uh, like I said, this is...

264
00:19:27,511 --> 00:19:31,031
This is going to be
extremely difficult.

265
00:19:31,135 --> 00:19:33,095
You sure you want to do this?

266
00:19:33,206 --> 00:19:35,166
I'm ready.

267
00:19:35,277 --> 00:19:37,037
All right.

268
00:19:37,141 --> 00:19:38,871
Let's go.

269
00:19:40,109 --> 00:19:42,079
There is, uh,
considerable damage

270
00:19:42,215 --> 00:19:44,035
to the postmortem
of these bodies,

271
00:19:44,148 --> 00:19:45,558
so I'm really not
expecting you to identify

272
00:19:45,701 --> 00:19:46,911
any of your friend's remains.

273
00:19:47,047 --> 00:19:49,527
But, uh, we got to take a shot.

274
00:19:49,636 --> 00:19:51,736
What did he do to them?

275
00:19:56,643 --> 00:19:58,203
He was taking them apart

276
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:03,440
and using the pieces to
make his own creation.

277
00:20:03,547 --> 00:20:06,137
Targeted intellectual guys
for the organs,

278
00:20:06,239 --> 00:20:11,209
and beautiful men for
the physical features.

279
00:20:14,489 --> 00:20:16,839
Nothing about this
is gonna be easy.

280
00:20:17,837 --> 00:20:19,487
- You ready?
- Yeah.

281
00:20:21,012 --> 00:20:27,672
You, uh, you know,
you're very good to do this.

282
00:20:27,812 --> 00:20:29,612
Would you believe we've
only ever had one family

283
00:20:29,711 --> 00:20:32,331
come forward to
identify remains?

284
00:20:32,438 --> 00:20:35,648
Guess they preferred their sons
dead than gay, huh?

285
00:20:46,866 --> 00:20:49,456
You just described it
to me, but...

286
00:20:49,558 --> 00:20:51,838
I still can't believe it.

287
00:20:56,324 --> 00:20:58,534
How could...?

288
00:20:58,671 --> 00:21:00,671
How could anybody
do something like this?

289
00:21:02,502 --> 00:21:04,302
What the fuck is wrong
with people in this city?

290
00:21:04,401 --> 00:21:06,471
Take your time.

291
00:21:29,011 --> 00:21:32,641
I don't see anything
of Sully here.

292
00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:36,990
If he's here,

293
00:21:37,088 --> 00:21:39,848
or anywhere, I...

294
00:21:39,953 --> 00:21:42,163
I can't tell.

295
00:21:42,266 --> 00:21:43,886
You tried.

296
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,170
That's all we can do.

297
00:21:49,722 --> 00:21:51,762
How many men are a part
of this thing?

298
00:21:54,382 --> 00:21:56,282
We think maybe seven bodies.

299
00:21:56,384 --> 00:21:58,084
Well, there are
a lot more murders

300
00:21:58,213 --> 00:22:00,603
and missing guys than that.

301
00:22:00,698 --> 00:22:02,318
Where are they?

302
00:22:04,530 --> 00:22:05,950
<i>Could it be fatal?</i>

303
00:22:06,048 --> 00:22:08,398
<i>It's hard to say.
Whatever this is,</i>

304
00:22:08,534 --> 00:22:12,094
it's now affecting
our platelets and T cells.

305
00:22:13,884 --> 00:22:16,924
And the others?
Are-are you tracking them?

306
00:22:17,025 --> 00:22:19,855
Half of my patients with these
same symptoms have disappeared.

307
00:22:19,959 --> 00:22:21,789
What?

308
00:22:22,962 --> 00:22:25,552
I couldn't legally disclose
this before, but now

309
00:22:25,689 --> 00:22:28,349
that we know that Sully wasn't
a victim of the Mai Tai Killer,

310
00:22:28,450 --> 00:22:30,590
I feel like I have to tell you.

311
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,700
- Sully was one of
my first patients.
- What the fuck, Hannah?

312
00:22:34,801 --> 00:22:37,561
When I first heard he went
missing, I assumed he went home

313
00:22:37,701 --> 00:22:38,811
to be with his family because
he was sick and...

314
00:22:38,909 --> 00:22:40,259
Sully would've told me that.

315
00:22:40,393 --> 00:22:41,983
He...

316
00:22:42,084 --> 00:22:43,644
He disappeared in
the park that night.

317
00:22:43,741 --> 00:22:46,051
I'm just as confused
as you are, Adam.

318
00:22:46,157 --> 00:22:47,537
No.

319
00:22:48,643 --> 00:22:50,443
This doesn't make sense.

320
00:22:51,439 --> 00:22:52,469
How could this illness
be related

321
00:22:52,578 --> 00:22:54,478
to all of these disappearances?

322
00:22:54,580 --> 00:22:56,060
I don't know.

323
00:22:56,167 --> 00:22:58,167
And I don't have
the resources to find out.

324
00:22:58,273 --> 00:23:00,003
I'm sorry. I wish I did.

325
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:03,170
Oh, my God.

326
00:23:04,175 --> 00:23:07,315
<i>Have you tried contacting
any bigger labs or companies</i>

327
00:23:07,420 --> 00:23:10,010
- that could help?
- 47 unanswered phone calls.

328
00:23:10,112 --> 00:23:12,252
Even my university colleagues
won't touch this.

329
00:23:12,356 --> 00:23:13,936
Without funding,
no one gives a shit.

330
00:23:14,047 --> 00:23:15,767
I wish I were surprised.

331
00:23:15,877 --> 00:23:18,187
And the worst part is
it's not just one illness.

332
00:23:18,293 --> 00:23:19,813
What Adam and I have is viral,

333
00:23:19,915 --> 00:23:21,775
but what KK has
is a bacterial infection,

334
00:23:21,883 --> 00:23:24,093
similar to the deer on
Fire Island.

335
00:23:24,195 --> 00:23:28,025
It's the ticks. I told you,
it's biological warfare.

336
00:23:28,130 --> 00:23:29,480
Probably the CIA.

337
00:23:29,580 --> 00:23:31,960
We should write an article
about this.

338
00:23:32,065 --> 00:23:34,025
Put it in the Pride issue,
start building interest now.

339
00:23:34,136 --> 00:23:35,586
Absolutely.

340
00:23:35,690 --> 00:23:37,620
There's still too much
research that needs to be done.

341
00:23:37,726 --> 00:23:41,416
Insect bites, rashes,
fevers, disappearances.

342
00:23:41,523 --> 00:23:42,703
It's all just too
convoluted right now.

343
00:23:42,835 --> 00:23:44,695
We'll only print the facts.

344
00:23:44,837 --> 00:23:45,977
Let the readers make up
their own minds.

345
00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:47,429
We can't trust the public

346
00:23:47,529 --> 00:23:49,119
to come to a rational conclusion
on their own.

347
00:23:49,220 --> 00:23:52,530
Half-baked science always
leads to conspiracy theories.

348
00:23:53,984 --> 00:23:56,444
<i>Sully didn't go home to
his parents. I checked.</i>

349
00:23:56,538 --> 00:23:57,948
I hate to say it, but I
think that there could be

350
00:23:58,057 --> 00:23:59,537
more victims of
the Mai Thai Killer

351
00:23:59,679 --> 00:24:01,469
that just haven't been
found yet.

352
00:24:01,578 --> 00:24:04,788
Or there's another
killer out there.

353
00:24:04,891 --> 00:24:07,031
Do you hear yourself?

354
00:24:07,169 --> 00:24:09,209
There's a leather daddy who's
stalking people

355
00:24:09,309 --> 00:24:10,409
with blood disorders?

356
00:24:10,518 --> 00:24:11,858
I mean, this is crazy.

357
00:24:11,967 --> 00:24:13,347
We caught the killer.

358
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:15,212
It's over.

359
00:24:15,315 --> 00:24:17,035
I'm not crazy, okay?

360
00:24:17,145 --> 00:24:18,525
I know what I saw.

361
00:24:18,629 --> 00:24:21,219
And there is space, here,

362
00:24:21,321 --> 00:24:22,671
for an article about this,

363
00:24:22,771 --> 00:24:24,841
even if it's just
a little blurb.

364
00:24:24,980 --> 00:24:26,530
Adam.

365
00:24:26,672 --> 00:24:28,982
Before all of this took over
our lives,

366
00:24:29,088 --> 00:24:31,638
Patrick and I put down a deposit
on a Fire Island rental

367
00:24:31,746 --> 00:24:33,506
and it comes up this weekend.

368
00:24:33,610 --> 00:24:36,850
I refuse to let it go to waste.

369
00:24:36,958 --> 00:24:38,268
So why don't you join us?

370
00:24:38,373 --> 00:24:42,343
Take a break from
all of this insanity.

371
00:24:42,446 --> 00:24:43,686
We're trying to get on
with our lives

372
00:24:43,827 --> 00:24:45,517
and-and I think that
you should, too.

373
00:24:47,106 --> 00:24:49,516
I can't.

374
00:24:49,626 --> 00:24:52,656
Theo and Hannah are helping me
reignite the search for Sully.

375
00:24:54,354 --> 00:24:57,674
I-I can't just... leave.

376
00:24:57,772 --> 00:25:00,602
Bring them with you.
It's a big house.

377
00:25:00,706 --> 00:25:04,016
I think the ocean air
will do us all good.

378
00:26:02,837 --> 00:26:04,977
- Hey.
- Hey.

379
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,360
You okay?

380
00:26:07,462 --> 00:26:09,602
- Uh-huh.
- Good, good.

381
00:26:10,638 --> 00:26:14,298
I'm exhausted. I think the
beach is gonna do us both good.

382
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,850
Right.

383
00:26:15,953 --> 00:26:20,543
We are not gonna
allow this to destroy us.

384
00:26:20,648 --> 00:26:22,788
- It's destroyed us
already, Gino.
- No.

385
00:26:22,891 --> 00:26:25,201
- It's broken.
- We just got to get somewhere
away from these four walls.

386
00:26:25,307 --> 00:26:27,027
- Barbara died.
- I understand.

387
00:26:27,137 --> 00:26:28,927
She's a good person.
It's my fault.

388
00:26:29,035 --> 00:26:30,345
It's... Patrick,
it's not your fault.

389
00:26:30,485 --> 00:26:31,825
- It is my fault.
- It's not.

390
00:26:31,935 --> 00:26:34,345
She knows it.
I just saw her, Gino.

391
00:26:36,353 --> 00:26:38,153
You saw who?

392
00:26:39,287 --> 00:26:41,837
I saw Barbara.

393
00:26:41,979 --> 00:26:44,879
I saw Barbara on
the street, just...

394
00:26:45,017 --> 00:26:46,567
What?

395
00:26:47,847 --> 00:26:49,537
Oh, my God, I'm going out
of my fucking mind.

396
00:26:49,642 --> 00:26:50,542
Hey. Hey. Hey.

397
00:26:50,678 --> 00:26:52,128
I'm going out
of my fucking mind, Gino.

398
00:26:52,231 --> 00:26:54,341
Hey, no, no, no. Shh.
Come on, breathe. You're safe.

399
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,480
It's okay. It's okay.

400
00:26:56,580 --> 00:26:58,410
- We're gonna be okay.
- It's not okay. It's not okay,

401
00:26:58,547 --> 00:26:59,827
Gino, we're not gonna be okay.

402
00:26:59,928 --> 00:27:01,858
Look at our fucking lives.

403
00:27:01,965 --> 00:27:03,585
Look at our lives.

404
00:27:03,691 --> 00:27:05,041
Every day,

405
00:27:05,175 --> 00:27:07,555
something terrible
is gonna happen.

406
00:27:09,041 --> 00:27:11,491
You're safe, you're safe.

407
00:27:11,595 --> 00:27:14,075
I'm not.

408
00:27:14,184 --> 00:27:16,194
And we're not safe, Gino.

409
00:27:21,363 --> 00:27:23,373
You're safe.

410
00:28:18,766 --> 00:28:20,596
<i>Hi. You've reached
Adam and Sully.</i>

411
00:28:20,733 --> 00:28:21,733
<i>Leave a message.</i>

412
00:28:22,977 --> 00:28:24,287
Adam, it's me.

413
00:28:24,392 --> 00:28:27,122
Uh, I'm not gonna be able
to make it to Fire Island.

414
00:28:27,222 --> 00:28:28,812
The way I'm feeling right now,

415
00:28:28,914 --> 00:28:32,304
I'm just too goddamn pregnant
to handle that ferry ride.

416
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,710
I'm really sorry. Rain check?

417
00:29:01,118 --> 00:29:04,978
Hey, Mom. It's Hannah.

418
00:29:05,088 --> 00:29:07,018
I know we haven't talked
in a while,

419
00:29:07,124 --> 00:29:10,474
but I just really needed
to hear your voice.

420
00:29:10,576 --> 00:29:12,366
There's this disease
going around

421
00:29:12,474 --> 00:29:15,724
and I'm afraid that I have it.

422
00:29:18,826 --> 00:29:21,516
It's my immune system.

423
00:29:21,656 --> 00:29:24,556
My white blood cell count
is really low.

424
00:29:24,693 --> 00:29:28,703
I don't need to get
into the details, but...

425
00:29:30,665 --> 00:29:32,835
I'm just really scared, Mama.

426
00:29:35,187 --> 00:29:37,877
I was wondering if
it'd be okay if I came

427
00:29:38,017 --> 00:29:40,017
and stayed with you
for a little while.

428
00:29:41,055 --> 00:29:43,535
Okay.

429
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:47,720
Okay.

430
00:29:47,820 --> 00:29:49,370
I love you.

431
00:29:50,754 --> 00:29:52,794
I'll see you soon.

432
00:30:43,358 --> 00:30:44,838
<i>Pride.</i>

433
00:30:44,946 --> 00:30:47,846
<i>What does the word mean
in the face of so much death?</i>

434
00:30:47,949 --> 00:30:49,879
<i>Pride is a construct,</i>

435
00:30:50,020 --> 00:30:51,400
<i>something we summon
to unite us</i>

436
00:30:51,539 --> 00:30:54,019
<i>when we feel tired and weak.</i>

437
00:30:54,128 --> 00:30:57,198
<i>Pride takes work,
but death comes easily.</i>

438
00:30:57,303 --> 00:30:58,823
<i>Death is an old friend,</i>

439
00:30:58,926 --> 00:31:02,756
<i>someone every gay person
has known their whole lives.</i>

440
00:31:04,724 --> 00:31:07,594
<i>As we walk the streets,
in our jobs, and in our homes,</i>

441
00:31:07,727 --> 00:31:09,627
<i>we have seen how
quickly the world's hatred</i>

442
00:31:09,729 --> 00:31:12,319
<i>towards us can
escalate to violence.</i>

443
00:31:14,044 --> 00:31:16,604
<i>In a glance or in a kiss,</i>

444
00:31:16,736 --> 00:31:19,906
<i>death is always lurking
around the corner.</i>

445
00:31:20,050 --> 00:31:23,260
<i>Some of us drown out death's
low roar with sex,</i>

446
00:31:23,364 --> 00:31:27,684
<i>some drown it out with
drugs or food or work.</i>

447
00:31:27,816 --> 00:31:30,986
<i>But no matter our vices, when
that low roar grows to a rattle,</i>

448
00:31:31,130 --> 00:31:32,860
<i>and when that rattle ruptures,</i>

449
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,270
<i>we can no longer ignore
the seismic terror</i>

450
00:31:35,376 --> 00:31:37,516
<i>of our daily dance with death.</i>

451
00:31:37,654 --> 00:31:39,074
Something is coming,

452
00:31:39,173 --> 00:31:40,693
something evil on the horizon.

453
00:31:40,829 --> 00:31:42,969
<i>Yes, the Mai Thai Killer
was a sick man.</i>

454
00:31:43,073 --> 00:31:45,773
<i>But was there some
ounce of virtue in his impulse</i>

455
00:31:45,869 --> 00:31:47,079
<i>to build a Sentinel,</i>

456
00:31:47,181 --> 00:31:49,361
<i>to protect the very
people he hurt?</i>

457
00:31:49,493 --> 00:31:51,363
<i>Was this his Pride?</i>

458
00:31:51,495 --> 00:31:52,905
<i>For those of us
on the outskirts--</i>

459
00:31:53,014 --> 00:31:55,194
<i>the unseen, the abused,
the demeaned,</i>

460
00:31:55,292 --> 00:31:56,472
<i>and the impoverished--</i>

461
00:31:56,569 --> 00:31:58,089
<i>the terror of our mortality</i>

462
00:31:58,192 --> 00:32:00,712
<i>leads us to destruction.</i>

463
00:32:00,815 --> 00:32:02,085
<i>We lash out,</i>

464
00:32:02,196 --> 00:32:04,436
<i>we hurt ourselves,
and those who love us.</i>

465
00:32:04,543 --> 00:32:06,723
<i>We lie, we steal,</i>

466
00:32:06,855 --> 00:32:09,955
<i>and if we are driven to it,
we kill.</i>

467
00:32:11,205 --> 00:32:13,685
<i>Who am I to judge those who
have gone down this path?</i>

468
00:32:13,793 --> 00:32:16,003
<i>Aren't their impulses
the same as mine?</i>

469
00:32:16,106 --> 00:32:18,376
<i>Isn't their rage justified?</i>

470
00:32:18,522 --> 00:32:20,282
<i>Did they simply choose death</i>

471
00:32:20,386 --> 00:32:23,006
<i>because it was closer
than Pride could ever be?</i>

472
00:32:23,113 --> 00:32:25,363
<i>The hypocrisy is untenable.</i>

473
00:32:25,460 --> 00:32:29,980
Homosexuals must be treated
like criminals.

474
00:32:30,086 --> 00:32:33,016
<i>What if we
found value in our trauma?</i>

475
00:32:33,123 --> 00:32:34,373
<i>Listened to it,
rather than ignored it?</i>

476
00:32:34,504 --> 00:32:36,684
<i>Could the force of
our collective anger</i>

477
00:32:36,782 --> 00:32:39,372
<i>actually become our savior?</i>

478
00:32:39,474 --> 00:32:41,374
<i>As I laid bound to the table
of the killer,</i>

479
00:32:41,476 --> 00:32:43,716
<i>looking death in the eye,
I didn't see evil.</i>

480
00:32:43,858 --> 00:32:46,998
<i>I saw suffering created
by the world who gave a man</i>

481
00:32:47,103 --> 00:32:49,933
<i>no other choice
but to destroy.</i>

482
00:32:50,037 --> 00:32:53,937
<i>Imagine if we enlisted our
gay rage as our Sentinel.</i>

483
00:32:54,041 --> 00:32:56,871
<i>If, rather than sinking
into the abyss of our despair,</i>

484
00:32:56,975 --> 00:33:00,005
<i>or painting over
our wounds with Pride,</i>

485
00:33:00,116 --> 00:33:02,836
<i>we used anger as our compass.</i>

486
00:33:04,844 --> 00:33:06,714
<i>Where would it lead us?</i>

487
00:33:07,709 --> 00:33:09,369
<i>What could it do for us?</i>

488
00:33:09,504 --> 00:33:12,584
<i>I saw a man who
become a monster</i>

489
00:33:12,714 --> 00:33:14,854
<i>because it's who the world
expected him to be.</i>

490
00:33:17,512 --> 00:33:18,932
<i>It's time we acknowledge
that this monster</i>

491
00:33:19,066 --> 00:33:20,786
<i>has been implanted in all of us.</i>

492
00:33:24,174 --> 00:33:26,214
<i>And the only way to release him</i>

493
00:33:26,314 --> 00:33:27,904
<i>is to release society's
expectations</i>

494
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:31,696
<i>of who and what we should be.</i>

495
00:33:35,358 --> 00:33:38,908
<i>This is our freedom.</i>

496
00:33:39,051 --> 00:33:43,231
<i>This is our way out.</i>

497
00:33:43,366 --> 00:33:46,706
<i>This is our Pride.</i>

498
00:33:46,817 --> 00:33:50,367
<i>This is our Sentinel.</i>
