You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

The one thing that this job has taught me

is that truth is stranger than fiction.

I have heard some incredible sh*t.

Nothing astonishes me anymore.

You don't know what incredible means.

Yeah? Well, try me.

Here you go. I got that.

Forget it, man. I'm not telling you.

You're scared it's not good enough.

- You think that'll work?

- Yeah.

What are we, 12?

Come on.

Bet you the rest of that bottle

I got the best story you ever heard.

Bet you a full bottle.

What do you say?

If I lose?

Just add a 20 to the tip.

Why not?

Hey, man.

- Two Buds, bud.

- Right.

Mayor Davidson,

how do you respond to the fact

that many New Yorkers are leaving the city

in fear of a fifth attack

by the Fizzle Bomber?

We've got extra police patrols

on 24 hour shifts around the city.

We've created a joint task force

with the Federal Bomb Squad

and the FBI in order

to track down the suspect.

What a stupid name.

"Fizzle Bomber."

The guy makes compressed

RDX-based explosive compounds.

That's not easy.

"Fizzle Bomber" is easier to remember.

I hate that name.

Makes it sound like his bombs just fizzle.

Like they don't do any real damage.

I don't think anybody's doubting

how dangerous this a**hole is.

Well, there's a lot of selfish a**holes

out there needing a good shake up.

They should be afraid.

Well, he's killed 112 people already.

Some people just gotta go.

Stops the gene pool right in its tracks.

Yeah.

Maybe he's doing the city a favor.

Better be careful who hears you say that.

What, you think I'm wrong?

I'm just saying

that kind of talk can get you in trouble.

No worse than I've already been through.

Now listen, you keep promising

the best story of my life.

But I'm not hearing anything.

All right.

Guess I'll start at the beginning.

When I was a little girl...

What?

What, you want me to tell my story?

No, I just, I thought...

I'm sorry. Yeah, sure. Go on, go on.

When I was a little girl...

You ever hear of Christine Jorgensen?

Roberta Cowell?

Yeah, yeah, they had sex change.

So you... Don't interrupt.

It was September 13th, 1945.

I was a foundling.

A newborn left on an orphanage doorstep.

City of Cleveland Orphanage.

That's a good girl.

Well, there's no signs

of trauma or exposure.

The child appears healthy.

If she shows any signs

of infection or excessive coughing,

she should be taken

to the hospital for a thorough examination.

Yes, Doctor.

She got a name?

Jane.

Jane will have to do for now.

I'll be back to check on Jane in a week.

I look forward to it.

Don't worry, sweetheart.

We'll take good care of you now.

I was just one

of a dozen babies who had no past.
