The story

In New York City, Helen returns to the apartment that she shares with her boyfriend Marco after an unhygienic and inept abortion.

After Bobby asks her to buy his heroin, Helen and the dealer Freddie are arrested by Detective Hotch.

Hank asks what they will live on and offers work to Bobby as a burglar, to which Helen objects, insisting that she will get a job.
