[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
no big deal mcgill no big deal adam
we're talking about aids
boy don't overreact donnie probably said
he had the disease just to get me to
keep my distance
let me take you to a clinic i'll take
him it's my fault anyway
nothing that went down is your fault
miguel okay if i hadn't asked you to go
in there unofficially you would have
backup it might not have went down the
way it did
come on let's just put this behind us as
soon as you get tested
well i'm a grown man
i don't need to be told what to do
here
excuse me yes i've been waiting for over
an hour can you tell me how much longer
it's going to be
i'm afraid i don't know sir this is a
very busy place
i i understand but i'm a very busy
person i'm a police officer perhaps you
can make an exception you know it's been
an
hour i'm sorry but there are people
ahead of you and behind you
you finished complaining
i'm finished
good
hi helen kyle i've got three o'clock
with tom all telling your hair nancy
a little advice be nice around here
makes the whole experience a lot more
pleasant i'm nancy
adam hi i apologize for taking your time
it's just that uh
i was tired waiting oh don't worry i've
been in your shoes before
adam
[Music]
good luck
i'm afraid i have some frustrating news
for you now we can test you today but
it'll only be a baseline test what's
that supposed to mean
well what that means is that it won't
show positive unless you had the virus
so about six weeks ago
it certainly won't show positive if you
were infected this morning
great then i'll come back in six weeks
there are some things you should know
how are you gonna handle your sex life
from now on look i always practice safe
sex if that's what you're getting at
good answer now if you have the hiv
virus
do you understand what that means yeah
it means i have aids
well not exactly see hiv is the virus
that causes aids it damages your immune
system which leaves your body open to
infection
so even if i have the virus i won't
necessarily get sick right away
that's right it's like magic johnson
some people take years to get sick
others get sick faster truth doctor
what are my odds i don't believe in
putting odds on people's lives
come back in six weeks we'll test you
and if the results are negative
that means i'm in the clear
unfortunately no
we'll have you back in three months for
another test then another three
months if you're still negative then
well you probably don't have it
so i won't know for six months not for
sure
what the hell am i supposed to do till
then
enjoy life
yeah how'd it go adam
bye hey somebody asked you a question
back there the customary thing to do is
respond
look i just got some bad news
i apologize again okay oh
apology accepted
hey listen can i make a suggestion only
if i don't have to take it
no no obligation but i run a support
group here for hiv-positive people if i
were you you know i'd consider going
i appreciate your kindness but um i've
been around enough death i don't want to
sit in a room and cry with a bunch of
people oh
well take it from me beats crying alone
hope i see you there
thanks for coming in so soon ms ellis
have you heard from donny
no call the d.a and get a warrant to
search ms ells's home
you're not gonna find anything there
well perhaps not
but our dog will his name's hoover
like the vacuum cleaner if there's any
drugs around he sniffs him out
and you go to jail gee i hope i've made
that clear
i'll make that call
he's staying at some old hotel downtown
i think it's called hotel splendor
where have you guys been you were
supposed to be here a couple hours ago
yeah i'm sorry it just took longer any
luck finding donny
no we looked all day but that ends
now don't use too much sugar
how you doing the job
hey
you okay i didn't take the test yet
what adam you told me you said i have to
wait six weeks because it wouldn't show
up yet
so you get to live with a giant question
mark for six weeks is that it
maybe for up to six months before i know
anything for sure
oh man my life's on hold
i'm not enough not for long um miguel
and i will find donny
no you won't why not
we're gonna get him tested first of all
you can't force anybody to get tested
all right uh fine we'll uh we'll
convince him to volunteer
yeah okay so you find him maybe he'll
stick you with a needle
you might die you ever think about what
it feels like to be faced with that
no no not not exactly stay away from
donny
adam they just want to help i don't need
their help
i don't need anyone all right would you
just hold on a second okay adam
we're we're your friends we're your
family
you know when you need our help and our
support and like it or not
we're going to give it to you
would you look at yourself you need to
talk this out or you're gonna make
yourself sick whether you have that
virus or not
adam talk to me
okay
you couldn't possibly understand
well then talk to somebody who can
hey i wasn't expecting to see you here
i'm surprised
so am i why don't you just take a seat
it's just about to start
okay so welcome to the hiv positive
support group
and thank you all for coming i'm nancy
and i've had the virus for
several years now uh are there any
newcomers here today
that's you what
well would you please tell us your first
name and why you're here
maybe somebody else would like to talk
first we'll get to them
now just you know go ahead and speak up
nobody's gonna judge you
okay i'm adam and uh
i'm here because i was uh i was stuck
with a hypodermic needle that might be
infected i uh i don't know if i have the
virus or not
oh how does that make you feel i don't
know
angry
yeah i guess so good that's
natural do you know why you feel angry
because i might die why else i don't
know
won't you tell us why else
because i might die and
because i feel helpless like i can't
fight back
you fight her by nature
yeah you could say that i was in the
vietnam war and now i'm a cop
so the virus is the enemy
yeah go on
oh look maybe somebody else would like
to talk
i feel like i'm the only non-drinker at
an a.a meeting
well adam you know just like in aaa
a person's first step would be to admit
that they're powerless over their
addiction
well your first step would be to admit
that you are powerless over this disease
adam are you scared
the scariest i've ever been in my life
[Music]
of the ten syringes you recovered from
the shooting gallery
three of them were infected with the hiv
virus
any idea which one of these syringes was
used by donnie
we looked for fingerprints but found
only smudges
what about donnie any leads on him yet
his mother told us that he's hiding out
at a hotel downtown kelsey and rothman
are on a 24-hour stake out there
but so far well he's a no-show
we gotta find this kid charlie i can't
keep going on
like this wondering whether i'm sick or
not and you take some time away from the
job
and you get your mind off this i need to
work
see what i can stop thinking about this
do you know that woman at your desk
yeah i know barely
keep me informed please
so this is where you work
yeah work being the operative word oh
not visit with women you hardly know
no well don't worry this is business
there's this woman that i know and she
really really needs to talk to
a cop but every time she calls she gets
the run around so
will you go and talk to her what about
she says she was robbed
okay
thanks
so where's this woman you're looking at
her
somehow i knew this was a con no no i
said there was a woman
me who needs to talk to a cop you
about being robbed now what would you
call having most of your adult life
stolen away by some germ
what do you want from me nothing
i just want to get to know you
i'm sorry i'm very busy
monday adam was quick to refuse my offer
but i think he's just being stubborn
what's that for that it's my diary
look nancy my life is very complicated
i already have more friends than i can
handle
okay thought i'd ask sorry to bother you
hey wait a second please change your
heart
[Music]
all right i accept your offer
boy for a cop you sure are a pushover
come on
where are we going just follow me
so tandem or solo neither i'd rather go
to work
two solos please there you go
so saddle up let's take a ride did you
hear me loud and clear
officer workaholic let me guess you feel
guilty for having fun no i just like
working
well if you're a human being like the
rest of us you also like to have fun too
when i'm off the clock well you're off
the clock now so get on the bike
can't we just start this friendship
later yeah well
we're running out of time so get on
[Music]
[Music]
are you married why do you ask
well i wouldn't want your wife to think
we're up to something that we're not
now i'm not married but i'd like to be
someday
me too i guess if i get the virus the
marriage will be a pretty tough prospect
oh
no doubt take it from the world's most
ineligible bachelorette
you know what it feels like to be
stigmatized by a disease
unfortunately i think i'm learning
so what are you gonna do with your life
if you test positive
i don't know i guess go on
you know business as usual oh yeah and
that's what i thought but that's not
what happens
i'll tell you one thing i won't quit my
job that's for sure
boy you sound just like somebody i know
very well
her name's nancy and she ran her own
business and she loved it he was
everything in the world to her and then
and then she got the hiv virus and she
learned that there were just a few
things missing from her life
my husband
children photographs from exotic world
locations
what'd you do i got a part-time job and
i started a list
what kind of list a list of things i
haven't done
things i intend to do with the time i
have i've only got one thing left
and then i start a new lesson what's the
one thing
what are you doing saturday working
would you forget work you have to live a
little finish off my list with me
nancy what's the one thing left on your
list
bungee jumping
you are crazy yeah so how about it
um how about something a little less
dangerous like you know dinner at my
place

probably safer to bungee jump
very funny

we
oh we had to do something b
all right i want your word you stay away
from them from now on
where

tested and you'd know if you were
infected
i'm aware of that eric so why aren't you

because they were trying to help me
getting angry at them for that would
just be a waste of energy wouldn't

how'd you get the virus
[Music]
from this guy i was dating god
nobody deserves to die from making love

waltzed me around his living room in
more ways than one

come over to the other side

worried about me
wanted me to climb over and be with them
but uh
there wasn't a way over this wall well
what you do
i yelled back to them that i couldn't be
with them right now

i really felt alone and when i turned
around

okay i'm adam and uh
i'm here because i was uh i was stuck
with a hypodermic needle that might be
infected i uh i don't know if i have the
virus or not
oh how does that make you feel i don't
know
angry
yeah i guess so good that's
natural do you know why you feel angry
because i might die why else i don't
know
won't you tell us why else
because i might die and
because i feel helpless like i can't
fight back
you fight her by nature
yeah you could say that i was in the
vietnam war and now i'm a cop
so the virus is the enemy
yeah go on
oh look maybe somebody else would like
to talk
i feel like i'm the only non-drinker at
an a.a meeting
well adam you know just like in aaa
a person's first step would be to admit
that they're powerless over their
addiction
well your first step would be to admit
that you are powerless over this disease
adam are you scared
the scariest i've ever been in my life
[Music]
of the ten syringes you recovered from
the shooting gallery
three of them were infected with the hiv
virus
any idea which one of these syringes was
used by donnie
we looked for fingerprints but found
only smudges
what about donnie any leads on him yet
his mother told us that he's hiding out
at a hotel downtown kelsey and rothman
are on a 24-hour stake out there
but so far well he's a no-show
we gotta find this kid charlie i can't
keep going on
like this wondering whether i'm sick or
not and you take some time away from the
job
and you get your mind off this i need to
work
see what i can stop thinking about this
do you know that woman at your desk

yeah work being the operative word oh
not visit with women you hardly know
no well don't worry this is business

really really needs to talk to
a cop but every time she calls she gets
the run around so
will you go and talk to her what about
she says she was robbed
okay

her

about being robbed now what would you
call having most of your adult life
stolen away by some germ

heart

someday

marriage will be a pretty tough prospect
oh
no doubt take it from the world's most
ineligible bachelorette
you know what it feels like to be
stigmatized by a disease
unfortunately i think i'm learning
so what are you gonna do with your life
if you test positive

you know business as usual oh yeah and
that's what i thought but that's not
what happens

job that's for sure
boy you sound just like somebody i know
very well

business and she loved it he was
everything in the world to her and then

learned that there were just a few
things missing from her life
