Cruising Page #2

- What are their shield numbers?

- They work out of the 6th Precinct.

Do you know how many guys

are arrested for impersonating a cop?

There's more guys out there impersonating

cops than there are actual cops.

- I need this favor, man.

- Do you wanna put on a wire?

I'll take you down to Internal Affairs,

we'll draw up a complaint.

Listen to what I'm saying.

These guys are bad dudes.

You get me names or numbers,

otherwise don't come around with stories.

Listen, man, you need me

just as much as I need you.

Take a hike.

Son of a b*tch.

- Captain Edelstein?

- It's Edelson.

I'm sorry. I'm Steve Burns.

Close the door. Sit down.

Burns.

Why do you think

you were called down here?

I don't know.

They told me that there was some...

...special assignment...

...and that I was right for it.

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever had

your cock sucked by a man?

A man? No.

- Well, l...

- Ever been porked?

Or had a man smoke your pole?

You gotta be kidding.

Yeah, you're kidding, I knew it.

No.

No? Well, they got the wrong guy,

I guess, that's all.

Take a look at the board over there.

Paul Vincent was a professor

at Columbia University.

Loren Lukas was an actor.

Oh, the St. James Hotel stabbing.

I read about that.

How'd you like to disappear?

- Disappear?

- Go undercover.

These killings have a similar m. O...

...but we've also been finding parts

of bodies floating in the river.

We don't know a thing

about these torso victims.

We don't even know

who the hell they are yet.

It's my hunch that they were done by the

same guy who did these killings up here.

So why me?

Well, frankly, all of the victims

appear to be the same physical type.

Which is to say,

they all look like you.

Late 20s, 140, 150 pounds.

Dark hair, dark eyes.

I see.

I wanna send you out there

to see if you can attract this guy.

Out where?

Lukas and Vincent were not

in the mainstream of gay life.

They were into heavy leather. S & M.

It's a world unto itself.

I don't know how much you know

about that sort of thing.

If you take this assignment...

...you'll come out with more experience

than any of my detectives.

Do I carry a gun?

No gun, no shield.

You get paid once a month.

You get a call telling you where to pick up

the money. You report only to me.

And nobody can know anything

about what you're doing.

Up the creek without a paddle, huh?

What do you say?

Yeah, I love it.

What's this new thing you're doing?

I can't talk about it, Nance, I told you.

Why not?

Because I just can't...

...so please don't ask me, okay?

Don't ask me.

How long are you gonna be gone?

Oh, I don't know.

Is it dangerous?

I don't know.
