Hi.
- Hello.
Why didn't you use your key?
Can I come in?
Er... I'm on my way out.
OK.
What's going on?
Nothing.
Why can't you trust me?
I don't wanna talk about it, Nance.
- Is it me? Are you turned off to me?
- No.
Why don't you want me anymore?
I'm tired, that's all.
I'm not an idiot.
Nance, what I'm doing is affecting me.
I'm on your side, you know?
I don't know, I...
I don't understand
what's happening to you.
Neither do I.
Maybe we should
cut loose for a while.
Yeah.
Yeah. OK.
Steve?
Forget it.
I don't understand how you let
those guys work me over like that.
Welcome to
The Detective Division.
We're gonna have
to find another way,
because I'm not getting
paid enough to go through this.
You think I enjoy it?
We're looking
for A Killer.
We gotta make
it convincing.
Look, the guy was innocent.
You worked him over
like he shot The President or something.
You destroyed that kid.
You didn't even
have a case against him.
You fingered him.
I didn't think anybody
was gonna go that far with him.
Sometimes you only get
that one chance.
He didn't have a knife.
I didn't come on this job to shitcan
some guy just cos he's gay, Captain.
You're gonna come into days
where you have to
collar a dozen guys like that.
Scared, weird little guys
who don't know why they
have to do what they do.
It isn't their fault,
it isn't your fault,
it's the job.
I can't do the job.
I don't think I can do the job, Captain.
I don't think I can handle it, that's all.
I don't know...
It's just... It's...
Things happening
to me, you know.
I don't know that I can handle it.
I want you to know that it's not
because I'm afraid or anything.
It's just stuff going down,
I don't think I can...
I can deal with it.
I need you.
You're my partner
and you can't let me down.
We're up to our ass in this,
and I'm counting on you.
Steve...
This is from the Columbia University yearbook.
These pictures go back two years.
There's a check mark
next to every student
who ever took a class from
that Columbia professor
who got killed.
I'd like you to take this
and see if you can
recognise anybody.
'Registrar's office. Good Morning.'
Yes, I'm trying to locate a student, Stuart Richards.
He's in The Department
of Music and Speech.
'Is he enrolled in
the summer session?'
Er... yes, I believe he is.
'Would you wait just a moment, please?'
Yes.
- 'Hold on.'
- Yes.
'The last address I have
on Stuart Richards...'
Hold on just a second, please. Yes?
- 'It's 140...'
- One-forty.
'Claremont Ave., Morningside Heights.'
- Thank you.
God, what is this?
Sheep shit?
What do you expect
for 50 cents a pack?
I didn't realise things
were getting that rough.
I think my old man's about
to draw the line again.
He turned me down on a car.
Oh, yeah?
He doesn't understand
why I'd want a car to do
research in a library that's
right across the street
from where I live.
So what are you gonna do?
Live within my meagre means
and continue my thesis on the roots of the American musical theatre.
All in the way of buying
two more years before
I have to go out in The World.
I didn't mean your
Plans for Life, Stuie.
What about tonight?
Don't call me Stuie, OK?
Sorry.
I got a lot of stuff
to do tonight, Paul.
I have to go out.
I should do more work.
Well, if you get tired of studying,
Maybe I can get my old man
to adopt you.
You're too kind.
You noticed.
Father,
I need to Talk to You.
I wish just once you'd say
something positive to me.
I've tried to do
everything you wanted,
but it's never good enough.
I've Taken it for Granted
that You Understood, Stuie.
You know what
You have to do.
'You know what
You have to do.'
Yes?
I'm looking for Ted.
I got the room next door.
You must be the
famous John Forbes.
You must be Greg.
Yeah, looks as if
I got back just in time.
What do you mean?
Do you usually come barging in
on Ted at dinnertime?
I don't know whether
that's any of your business.
Wrong. It's exactly my business.
Anyway, you struck-out tonight.
Ted isn't here.
Where is he?
If you must know,
he's out working an IBM machine
in a primo brokerage house.
It pays well because normal folk
don't like working at night.
It's good for him,
cos when he's out
working he's not out
getting involved.
If you know what I mean?
No, I don't know what you mean.
No?
No.
Ted is too sensitive to
have too many involvements.
We found that out with
the last piece of trash
that moved in —
It must be something about
that room, the people
it attracts, do you suppose?
You bastard.
Pussy.
Come on, you cocksucker!
Just do it again and I'll
call The Police, asshole!
Fuck.
Oh, shit.
Motherfucker!
You're in love with him.
You love Ted, don't you?
You're crazy, Mister.
You ought to be committed!
You wanna play,
I'll play with You!
Get out.
