00:00I don't remember any of what I'm about to tell you.
00:10I only know what the police and coroner's reports say.
00:13Wake up.
00:15Up next, Life in the City with Isaac Knott.
00:23Last week a man walked into Bayside Hospital and bribed a doctor into chopping off his
00:28leg.
00:29What's wrong with his leg?
00:30Nothing.
00:31If they're chopping off good legs for money, that's hard news.
00:33The caller who gave us this tip, ancient Chinese girl.
00:37She wants to meet Isaac.
00:38Hop in.
00:39You make me so nervous.
00:41I remember thinking somewhere in this building there are others.
00:43It never occurred to me that others could mean something else entirely.
00:46Do you want to understand why, Isaac?
00:48You know how you have fantasies?
00:51Mine was shut the curtains all day and walk around in my Milwaukee brace.
00:58Are you okay?
00:59What did she tell you?
01:00Last night, they were talking about someone named Ginger Jake.
01:03Is she Chinese?
01:04Jamaican, I think.
01:06People go to her to get paralyzed?
01:08What does she do to them?
01:11I need to find Ginger Jake.
01:15You have to ask the questions unless you really don't want to know the answer.
01:20Ginger Jake will kill you.
01:22I can't eat, I can't talk.
01:26Drinking means Jake Lord now can't walk.
01:29Why would someone want to be paralyzed?
01:31You want to know more?
01:33There's someone else.
01:38She lied to you, your contact.
01:40You think that could be a problem?
01:41Because I can see how it could be a problem.
01:43Wake up.
01:47You still have no idea, do you?
01:52Does it have to be me?
01:54It has to be you.
01:56It has to be you.
