Yeah, that's me.
Where did you get
my number?
I got it
from honest John's boys.
Hmm.
What's his name?
We call him poncho.
It'll cost you $2,000.
He's in very good shape.
He's ready to fight.
You show Vladimir
money, huh?
A dog is the only thing
i ever trusted.
A dog doesn't care
if you're rich or poor,
if you're famous
or some bum.
Only thing a dog wants
is to be your buddy.
It's funny how things
work out.
It wasn't part of my plan,
but now I had a dog.
Poncho had some scars
from where they made him fight,
but he was really
just a sweet guy.
Me and poncho were buddies
in no time.
It was the most domestic
I've ever been in my life,
and for some reason
it was okay.
Oh, hey.
How's it going?
You having a good day?
Mine was okay,
despite the head
f***ing nurse in c ward
who's got it in for me.
Always on my ass
about something.
Oh, there's this one patient,
this old guy, Jerry.
Every time I try
and change his iv
I don't mind.
He's sweet and he's
on his way out, so...
Oh, here s a blast
of good news.
No more double shifts,
so I got more free time
if you wanna
hang out more.
I mean, that's
if you want to.
You wanna take off
your clothes?
Okay.
I mean, I'll--
I'll do what I can.
You'll do fine.
last guy on the list.
They told me his name
was Jin tao.
Sometimes you get to say
hello to old friends.
You knock off a guy who you
think is gonna be all alone,
you use the silencer.
You wanna make
But if you figure you're gonna
take on resistance
then leave
the silencer at home.
You wanna let
the sound of the .45
scare the sh*t
out of them.
Throws off their aim.
How you been?
Hello, doctor.
Hello, Ralph.
Good of you to come.
I know you'll doubt this,
but I actually miss
You asked to see me.
I did, but first
I'd like to apologize
for my fit of temper
at our last meeting.
I momentarily lost
my composure.
Apology accepted.
I want to make
a legal deposition
to be filed
with the district
attorney's office.
I'd like to confess.
And for which crimes
you've committed
are you willing
to make these confessions?
All of them, Ralph.
Every single one
that I'm responsible for.
I'm afraid I've been
a very naughty lady.
Would you like to tell me
what you hope to accomplish
-with this deposition?
-Certainly.
The authorities
will clearly see
that I've made great progress
here at the hospital,
but most important,
when I confess it will
cleanse my soul.
I will be born again.
-Home phone?
-None.
Insurance carrier?
I don't have one,
but I can pay cash.
Referring physician?
I found out about
this place from a friend.
And you're here for
a diagnostic consultation?
Yeah. I need to speak
to a real surgery doctor.
You know, a guy who is--
does major surgery.
Are you in any pain?
It's all still
a bit sore.
I, uh, I think I popped
a couple of stitches.
Who was your surgeon?
I can't remember
right now.
Well, he seems to have
done a fine job,
so why aren't you talking
to him about this?
Well, I can't afford
the plane fare, for one.
Where? Colorado?
They do wonderful work.
Yeah, that's right.
The transgender programs
that I'm aware of
all have very thorough
screening processes.
How long have you been
living as a transsexual?
For a few months.
Ordinarily, there's
a requirement of functioning
for at least a year
in the transgender role
before an actual surgery
is performed.
Did they not
insist upon that?
Yeah, well, that's--
that's the thing.
Um... I um... I thought
i wanted it, so I...
You know, I told them what
i knew they wanted to hear.
embarrassment prevent you
from taking the best possible
care you can of your body.
It's your obligation
to yourself.
Now, I'd like you to call
a counselor that I know.
She's part of
a very good therapy group.
You can use my name
as a referral.
I don't want a counselor.
I don't need group therapy.
Can the operation
be reversed?
And if that's not
possible then...
Can I get off
with whatever this is?
It usually takes
six months to a year
to develop
sensation again.
Look, I just want to know
if I can go back to being a guy.
Medically, other than
the breast implants,
it's too soon to even
consider another procedure.
I'd be irresponsible
in advising you otherwise,
and no reputable physician
will operate on you again
without at least six months
of intensive therapy.
Can I go back
to being a guy?
Again, the implants,
that's not a problem.
But beyond that,
to the best of my knowledge,
there is no procedure that
will completely restore you
back to your former self.
Cosmetically, yes,
something can be done.
But it won't
be functional.
What it sounds like
you're asking for
is currently
medically impossible.
So that was it.
This was the way
it was gonna be.
I was gonna be a chick
except for in my head,
so get used to it.
Two people.
One's a beauty and one's
an i-don't-know what.
you out, and I don't get it.
But, you know, look
at the bright side.
The cops are never gonna
come looking for you
being a guy,
the best way to stay
out of prison.
I've been
thinking about this.
You could
change your name.
Get a fake passport, papers,
go to Mexico
or Costa Rica or Brazil,
hide out, you know?
Nobody would find you.
I'm sure you know somebody
who can get you a fake ID.
What about you?
You want me
to go with you?
No.
Haven't I made
enough trouble for you?
All right, let's proceed.
We'll begin
with the formalities.
It's February 3rd,
3:
00 in the afternoon.I'm Paul wincott,
deputy district attorney
for Alameda county, California.
This hearing will be visually
recorded as well as transcribed
by a duly appointed stenographer
for the supreme court
of the state of California
under the jurisdiction
of the honorable
judge Thomas vancleeve.
Doctor, now it's
my understanding
that you'd like to make
an opening statement
before we proceed with
a series of questions
pertaining to your case.
This is a confession.
It has very little to do
with the dead bodies
you found at my clinic.
They were simply
collateral damage.
My confession deals
with the professional killer
frank kitchen, or whatever
his real name is.
Contrary to my oath
as a physician
and all civilized
medical standards,
I performed unwanted
and unnecessary radical surgery
on Mr. kitchen, whom I admit
was a completely unknowing
and unwilling patient.
I did it partially
He had murdered someone
very close to me,
and in return,
I wanted
enormous psychic pain.
I want you
to understand this,
and the record
will bear me out.
I'm hugely sympathetic
to those who want
