 The people who appear in this episode, which premiered in August 1996, are as unpredictable, and often as outrageous, as the city where they live - New York. There s a foul-mouthed young woman who admits to having shot her boyfriend in a fit of rage; a cocaine addict struggling with his yearning for drugs, and a prostitute who claims she narrowly missed becoming the latest victim of a cab-driving serial killer.
