So, who were these gay men?

Fine line between being human and an animal. Look at you.

Nick Vera

Well that was 6 hours well spent, I'll tell you that.

Ah, the training seminar.

Yeah, this guy has never been on the line, never worked a homicide, but he's an expert.

Nick Vera

Yeah, and I got the paper cuts to prove it.
