Summary from official site, www.duesouth.com via Wayback Machine The only woman that Fraser ever loved is the only woman who can destroy him. Fraser, Ray and Diefenbaker get caught in the middle of a dangerous cat and mouse game between two bank robbers. At stake: the half million dollars never recovered from an eight year old bank heist. Somebody is going to take the money and somebody is going to take the fall. And it looks like it's going to be Fraser and Ray going down. Fraser is haunted by a the image of Victoria, a woman from his past; a woman he believes he wronged; a woman he fell in love with but was duty bound to arrest. His nightmare dissolves when she arrives in Chicago and old flames are rekindled. Unfortunately, the two of them learn all too quickly how hard it is to run from your past. Jolly, Victoria's old partner, has followed her to Chicago believing that she has the half million dollars which was never recovered from a bank robbery the two of them staged many years earlier. He's intent on doing whatever it takes to get "his" money back. But the first one paying the price is Diefenbaker, getting shot defending Fraser's own apartment. Fraser and Ray track Jolly, only to discover that he's one step ahead of them and is closing in on Victoria. After a knife fight set against the backdrop of a downtown zoo, Fraser manages to save Victoria, allowing Jolly to get away. But Jolly's escape is short lived; he is shot dead moments later. Fraser believes that Victoria killed Jolly in self defence. But nobody saw the killing and Victoria seems to have disappeared without a trace. To make matters worse, the money Fraser and Ray have recently been spending came from the eight year old bank robbery. None of the evidence points to Victoria committing the crime in self defence; it all points to Fraser committing the crime in cold blood. And to put the final nail in Fraser and Ray's coffin, it seems that Victoria died two months ago. But the woman from Fraser's past still needs one more thing from him...

Unofficial Transcript Victoria's Secret [Opening scene: Canada... Fraser Sr.'s cabin... gas poured on floor....
cabin catches flame]
Vecchio: You know how long that pool tables been in my basement. Fraser: 15 years Vecchio: My old man bought it for mother's day, by father's day she let him back in the house. Repair Guy: What's the name on that? Fraser: Mustafi. Vecchio: You mean it's not even yours. Fraser: No a borrowed it from a neighbor apparently he was not aware
of the malfunction
Vecchio: To fix this thing? I could buy a new one for that. Repair Guy: Not one like this, this ones got character not a common commodity amongst vacuum cleaners. Fraser: I appear to be a little... Vecchio: How much? Fraser: 60 dollars... thank you kindly. Repair Guy: No, I thank you.
Vecchio: So you going to help me bring the pool table up from the basement. Fraser: Won't your mother miss her dining room set? Vecchio: Yeah probably but it's my house and if I want a pool table in the dining room I'm going to put a pool table in the dining room Fraser: How long is she going away for? Vecchio: A week. For years she's been saying how she wants to visit
her sister in Florida, how hard it is to be apart. How much she misses
her. As soon as I book the hotel room, she's decided she's not speaking
to her. I think she's just going up there to glare at her.
Vecchio: What's going on? Fraser: Nothing I just thought I saw a woman I used to know. Vecchio: Thought she needed a vacuum? Fraser: No I was mistaken Vecchio: So you're going to pay me on Friday right? Fraser: Yeah sure.
Fraser: [to Dief]: It wasn't her. [replays what he thought he saw and adds Victoria mouthing Why? Why? And looking very hurt...back to Fraser laying on bed] [Vecchio house] Vecchio: Okay, everybody, let's go. In the car... you don't want to hit the traffic. Frannie: Where is my make up kit... who took my make up kit? Vecchio: I had to strap it to the roof cause it wouldn't fit inside... come on lets go. Frannie: Where's Ma. Vecchio: She's in the front seat. She's been there for the last 1/2 hour. She can't wait to get down there and not speak to her sister. Maria's Husband: hey Raymundo you want to help me with this one. Vecchio: Yeah why don't you just hop on my back and I'll carry you all the way to Florida.... Come on Frannie... Lets' go. Frannie: Is Fraser here? Vecchio: No he's not here... how many times do I have to tell you? Frannie: Because if he is ... I'll kill you... Where's Ma... Is she in the driver's seat? Vecchio: She's comin' Ma. Frannie: Oh no Ma... you're not driving we're not going 35 all the way to Florida. Vecchio: Have a great trip. [Vecchio's dining room.] Vecchio: It's a thing of beauty isn't it ? Fraser: Do you think the room is large enough. Vecchio: Hey if it's a little tight it just makes the game more interesting... Would you look at the patina on this thing. One thing my father knew was quality in wood. Fraser: I'm not sure we're got it quite level, Ray. Vecchio: And boy could he play pool. Dinner time would come and Ma would start yelling how the roast would be ruined. I'd volunteer to go down to Fanelli's and I'd sneak in and stand in the corner where he couldn't see me ...WHACK... 3 balls of the break... he'd start knockin' them in cross side, cross corner, and then he'd double back the 8 ball. He was a lousy father but boy could he play pool. It was the one thing in life he did well. Fraser: It's a beautiful table ... Vecchio: So you're going to be here Friday night? Fraser: Yeah Vecchio: All right. Don't forget my money cause I'm going to need it to buy a... I was thinking of getting a deli platter or maybe some pizza and beer... Ah what the hell I'll get both. How many times do you have the guys over, right? Fraser: I wouldn't miss it. Listen I really should be getting back. Vecchio: All right ah Benny, thanks for your help. Fraser: No problem. [Vecchio squats down to admire the table, lifts the rack and balls roll to the end of the table] [ The Confessional] Fraser: Oh I guess I'm not really sure if I saw her or I just wanted to see her or I saw her because she's the one person I can't face. Father: why? Fraser: Because of a decision I made. Father: Come back to haunt you so to speak. Fraser: Yes Father: Son I'm a Catholic from Belfast. And any good decision there is usually wrong. Each one is impossible. But you still have to make them and learn to live with it. Then try to forgive yourself. Fraser: She drove the get away car. Father: I'm sorry... Fraser: She and two men robbed a bank in Alaska. One of them died, one of them fled south and she came across the border in a light airplane. It was forced down because of weather. The pilot abandoned her. I tracked her to a place called Fortitude Pass. A storm had been blowing for days and by the time I found her I'd lost everything: my pack, my supplies. She was huddled in a crag on the lee side of a mountain, almost frozen, very near death. So I staked a lean to with my rifle and draped my coat around it and I held on to her whilst the storm closed in around us. I kept talking to her to keep her from slipping away from me. It snowed for a day and a night and a day and when I couldn't talk anymore I put her fingers in my mouth to keep them warm. I don't remember loosing consciousness but I do remember being aware that I was dying. And then I heard her voice... she was reciting a poem over and over... I couldn't make out the words but I couldn't stop listening she had the most beautiful voice... It was as though I had known her forever across a thousand life times ...[he wipes his brow] The storm finally broke and we were alive. After a day we found my pack and we ate everything I had in one meal. And it took us four days to reach the nearest out post. We camped that night just outside the town in sight of the church steeple and I held her in my arms and she asked me to let her go. You see no one knew that I found her. The police didn't even know her name. I could just let her go and she could walk away that night. [Diner] Robert Fraser:: You did the right thing son... you did your duty it's the only thing you could have done... Fraser: She's the only woman I ever loved and I put her in prison. Duty's a poor excuse. Robert Fraser: She was a criminal you had no choice but to bring her to justice. Are you going to eat those fries? Fraser: No be my guest....[notices the brim of his father's hat has been cut off in the back] What's wrong with your hat? Robert Fraser:: Oh this is the one they buried me in. They had to snip off the back so I could lie flat. I'm sure they meant well but they have no idea how embarrassing these things can be in the after life. Fraser: She really had no choice. She was living with the man who planned the robbery. It was a very desperate situation. Robert Fraser:: I'm sure the judge took that into account that's his job... your job was to bring her in. I suspected it might have been your doing. Fraser: What? Robert Fraser:: The hat thing. Is this the last image you have of me? Fraser: It was your funeral I could hardly close my eyes. Robert Fraser:: These things taste like nothing. Fraser: Well, stop eating them then. Robert Fraser:: I arrested your mother once. Fraser: You did not. Robert Fraser:: Honest to God... I gave her a speeding ticket. Fraser: You knew it was her car and you pulled her over anyway? Robert Fraser:: No I was right there in the passenger seat. Fraser: Get out. Robert Fraser:: She was doing 45 in a 30. Fraser: Mum? Robert Fraser:: I kept telling her I was going to do it and every time I did she kept speeding up. Made absolutely no sense. Women. You ever been able to figure them out son? Fraser: Well actually I'm asking for advice Dad. Robert Fraser:: In my 57 years of being alive and my 14 months of being dead I've only learned one thing about women and that is that I haven't learned one damned thing about women. Have I been of some help son. Fraser: Oh yeah a big help... Robert Fraser:: Good luck son. [disappears] Waiter: Anything else for you sir? Fraser: Ah no thanks... Waiter: Do you want that to go? Fraser: Yeah I think I'll just.. [Spots Victoria on the street and and runs after the cab she gets in.] [he bumps into a man] Man: Hey! Fraser [to taxi driver]: Where is she? Driver: What? Fraser: The woman who was in your cab.... where did she go. Driver [wields gun]: Get your hands off me.... Fraser: Did you not have a woman in this cab?
Victoria: Hi Fraser: Hi Victoria: It was you I thought I saw you standing in the middle of the road... I wasn't sure if I was seeing things. Fraser: No, that was me... I was standing... in the middle of the road. Victoria: I never thought I would see you again Fraser: Neither did I... Where were you... Victoria: Prison Fraser: ...going? Where were you going? Victoria: Oh, um, doesn't matter. Waiter: You still want this to go? Fraser :No [another diner] Victoria: ... Just a few days... My sister dies just after I got out. Fraser: I'm sorry. Victoria: After that there wasn't much to keep me in Alaska. So I thought I'd come to Chicago and finish up some old business. And then I figured I'd go to Dallas, maybe Austin. Some place warm get a fresh start Fraser: Austin's it's a nice city. Victoria: You been there? Fraser: No Victoria: Well warm sounds good to me right now. Fraser: I can understand that. Victoria: I'm glad I got a chance to see you before I rushed off. You look great.... I'd better go. [Gets out some cash] Um, here. Fraser: No I got it Victoria: Figure you owe me huh? Fraser: Yeah.... Victoria: Bye Fraser: Victoria! Victoria: Yeah Fraser: Can I see you again? Victoria: When? Fraser: Now. Victoria: You hungry? Fraser: Starving. [Fraser's kitchen] Victoria: Hi Fraser: I'm sorry it took so long to find the cilantro
Fraser: Well the second grocer I saw said he'd never stocked it although I did find traces of the leaf on the floor of the produce section there was a boot print on one of them Victoria: And you find it? Fraser: Uh, unfortunately, no. Victoria: So what you got? Fraser: Ice cream Victoria: Umm great : I found ground beans, pork chop, some spaghetti sauce and some pasta. Fraser: So what are we making? Victoria: All of it... how much do I owe you Fraser: no you were right I owe you. What can I do.. Victoria: Can you stir? Fraser: It's one of my areas of abiding interest [pan boils over] Sorry. Victoria: How about you set the table. Fraser: Okay. [sets table with his camp ware] Victoria: Yeah... Fraser: Good. [Victoria puts cash in Fraser's wallet.*] Victoria: You wouldn't have any candles by any chance would you? Fraser: [opens cupboard revealing 100s of candles] In case of power disruption. Victoria: You're prepared for everything. Fraser: Not quite. [candles spread round apartment, meal finished, watching a silent TV] Victoria: I never figured you for a television Fraser: I borrowed it from my neighbor Mr. Mustafi. Victoria: Why doesn't it have any sound. Fraser: It's broken... I have to have it repaired before I return it. If it's a problem I have with the neighbors.. we could.. Victoria: It's okay. Fraser: You sure you don't want to go out? Victoria: Shh this is my favorite movie I always wanted to be Eve Kendal... Fraser: But she sends Carrie Grant to be killed Victoria: She had no choice. Fraser: Ah. Victoria: Aren't you cold? Fraser: No. Oh, I'm sorry, pardon me. [shuts window, spots man at the window opposite] [Fraser walks Victoria back to her hotel] Victoria : Thanks. Fraser: Should I walk you to your door. Victoria: I think I can handle it from here. I had a great time. Fraser: So did I. [Seller on street]
Fraser: Actually this isn't soap stone... It's not even stone... It's soap and you might be curious to know that the Inuit are not indigenous to Taiwan. Seller: Weren't they supposed to have crossed the Baring Strait? Fraser: Point taken.: I'm afraid that all I have is... [finds the cash she put in his wallet and glances toward the hotel then buys a piece of soap] Seller : You're a gentleman, thank you sir. Fraser: Thank you kindly. [at Fraser's door] Victoria : Did you think we could pretend it didn't happen?... How could you do it? How could you do that to me, huh? How could you do it.... [Fraser wraps his arms round her] ... No... Fraser: I'm sorry.... [Fraser slams door, takes Victoria's coat off while kissing a lot. they make it to the bed... and fall backwards on to it so Victoria is lying on top of him] Victoria: I'm sorry... Fraser: That's Okay I probably deserve it... Victoria: You do.... [more kissing etc...fades to white] [early morning. Victoria puts on his red shirt, closes the window then cleans up... Jolly is watching from his window.] [ Next Morning] Vecchio: Hey Benny, You okay? [gets ready to kick in the door when he tries the knob and finds it locked] Fraser: Morning Ray. Ray :The consulate reckons you didn't show up so I figured you had to be pretty sick...You all right? Fraser: I'm fine. Vecchio: So you're not sick? Fraser: No I'm fine.

I do have something like 82 sick days coming to me.... Victoria: I think you should go straight to bed [Fraser nods] [consulate Fraser on phone, surrounded by get well cards/presents/balloons etc.] Sergeant [on the other end of the phone]: Inuit boy saw the smoke .. Took us a week to get up there. Fraser: I appreciate you calling sergeant. Sergeant: We don't know what caused it... could have been lightning.. I'm sending someone up there to see if anything can be salvaged. Fraser: I don't think there was anything of value. Sergeant.: Your Dad, didn't keep any gunpowder in the place did he that might have caught a spark? Fraser: No I don't think so Sergeant: I'll call you if I find out anything. Fraser: Thank you kindly. [to his dad] Your cabin burned down last week. Robert Fraser:: Well I don't use it much anymore.

Vecchio: Don't do me any favors.. I wouldn't want to embarrass you...anyway. Fraser: Ray..Ray... [Fraser hurrily puts on his boots] Victoria: I take it that was Ray. Fraser: Yeah. Victoria: I'm sorry. Fraser: It's not your fault... Don't go anywhere. [On the street] Fraser: I'm sorry Ray Vecchio: Yeah? Fraser: It's just that I made a mistake once and I can't make it again. [Dief goes into the apartment] You know I think there are certain things you live to regret.. losing your friendship would be one of them... and losing her well. [Dief snarls] [gun shots] Fraser: Gunshot. [apartment, Dief has been shot] Vecchio: Oh my God... I got the car running come on let's go. [Animal Hospital, Fraser sits with recovering Dief] [Vecchio's] Vecchio: I put out a description. She might have gone to a police station. Fraser: She wouldn't. Vecchio: I got them checking the hospitals too. Fraser: Oh - I called. Vecchio: You have any idea who might have done this? She's okay. She's okay. [Victoria's hotel, she's tossing her cases into a taxi] Fraser: Where are you going? Victoria: Just let me go. Fraser: I want to know what happened. Victoria: I'm sorry ohh. Fraser: I said I want to know what happened. Victoria: Jolly's out... Fraser: Come on. [zoo by the Polar bears] Victoria: He showed up at my sister's place about a month after I got out. I got the hell out of there as fast as I could. I don't know how he found me this time. If he followed me I don't know... I thought I saw him that 1st time we were at your place. Fraser: Why didn't you tell me? Victoria: I've been seeing him every night for the past month. You left for just a few minutes and I look up, he was standing over me. He grabbed me by the throat... I couldn't scream... I couldn't fight. If it weren't for your wolf... Is he dead? Fraser: No he's badly hurt. Victoria: I'm sorry. I just got out the fire escape .I don't know why he's doing this... Fraser: What does he want from you? Victoria: I don't know. Fraser: What aren't you tell me? Victoria: Nothing. Fraser: What aren't you telling me. Victoria: They never found the money we stole. Over 1/2 a million dollars. So when I got out I went to find it... Fraser: And you had no intention of giving it back. Victoria: It wasn't there.. I just assumed that Jolly got there first... He thinks I did. Fraser: Did he tell anyone where he hid it. Victoria: Jolly's got a big mouth but I don't think he's stupid enough to tell anyone. Fraser: And you told no one? Victoria: I'm not exactly a trusting person. People tend to let me down. Fraser: Not this time. [Frannie's room] Vecchio: You can stay here 'til they get back after that we'll have to make other arrangements. This is my sister's room. Victoria: You sure this is Okay Vecchio: Any friend of Fraser's is a friend of mine. Victoria: So you're Ray? Vecchio: Yeah and your Victoria.. So how did you two meet? Victoria: He arrested me. Vecchio: Ah He meets a lot of people that way. Listen hurt him and I'll kill you. This is my room right across the hall, if you hear anything you bang. Victoria: I don't think I'll need to do that. Vecchio: You hear anything, you see anything... you bang on my door, okay? Nothing happens to you while you are under my roof. If I'm not home you call me on this number. Victoria: Thanks I appreciate what you're doing. Vecchio: It's not you I do it for. Victoria: You've made that clear but I do appreciate it. Vecchio: I hope so. [Fraser's apartment] Louis: Just two sets of prints if you discount the paw marks.. sorry uh... how is the little guy? Fraser: We won't know for a while. Huey: Is anything missing. Fraser: It doesn't appear to be. Huey: We'll talk to your lady friend. Fraser: I'll bring her in. Huey : Good... You wanted this...*hands Ray a piece of paper* Vecchio: Thanks... Chuckles ain't no clown that's for sure. Fraser: Jolly Vecchio: He got some history... Manslaughter, attempted murder, Assault with a deadly weapon... He killed a guard in that bank job with your girl friend.... Did she get a lighter sentence for testifying against him? Fraser: Yep. Vecchio: Hmm Looks like he didn't trust her... he escaped the same week she was released. .. You were only gone a couple of minutes he must have been stakin' out the joint.

Vecchio: No maybe he's got a girl friend. Fraser: Maybe... don't we need a warrant to go in there? Vecchio: Not if there is imminent danger. Fraser: And what kind of imminent danger might that be Ray? Vecchio: Oh I don't know. [Picks lock] Something like fire... [lights a matchbook and drops it in trash can] [Ray knocks on the door of the next room, a woman opens it] Vecchio: Hi how are you doing? Woman: Fine. Vecchio: We'd like to ask you a couple of questions about the man next door. Woman: I just checked it. Vecchio: Oh have you noticed anything odd about him. Woman: I've never seen him.

[Fire crew arrive, Victoria takes a taxi to the zoo] Victoria: Keep the change. [Jolly pulls up and he has the missing knife] [Back at the polar bear place... Victoria waits for Fraser. A woman with her two children walks by.. and the little girl runs off] Mother: Jenny [chases after her] Jolly: I thought you wanted to see me again [grabs her] Don't tell me I thought wrong. Just tell me where the money is love. Victoria: I told you I don't know where the money is. Jolly: Did I mention I don't believe you? Victoria: You never told me where you hid it . Jolly: Ed knew. Victoria: Ed's dead. Jolly: I'm thinking he told you...I'm thinking maybe you told someone else. Someone to pick it up if things went bad. And somehow things went very bad didn't they? [Victoria stabs him and runs away] [Fraser and Vecchoi arrive at the Polar Bear place to late] Fraser: How long would it take to get from your house to here? Vecchio: Not this long. Maybe she went to the wrong place. [Fraser spots blood] Vecchio: I'll take from here to the lagoon. [They run off in opposite directions.] [hide and seek between Jolly and Victoria.] Vecchio [swings a woman around]: Oh, I'm sorry I thought you were somebody else. [Fraser climbs a hill and scans the area... spotting Victoria and Jolly and chases after them. Victoria trips] Jolly: You know what love? Money isn't everything.. I can always make more, right? [his knife at her throat] Victoria: Oh God Jolly: I'll settle for peace of mind. [Fraser swings through waterfall from above] Fraser: Run!

[Jolly cuts Fraser's hand causing him to fall] [Jolly's car outside the zoo. He gets in and Victoria is already sitting there] Jolly: Come to your senses have you.... Victoria: A long time ago. [She shoots Jolly at point blank range and walks off] [zoo] Vecchio: Ah they're still looking for a weapon and a witness. Fraser: Anybody see anything? Vecchio: Come on. After Victoria left did you see where she went? Fraser: No Vecchio: She'll probably try to contact you. Fraser: If she thinks Jolly's still after her. I don't know. Coroner: Don't even ask you'll see it tomorrow. Fraser: Anything you can tell us will be a great help. It's very important Vecchio: And personal. Coroner: There's a small stab wound to the abdomen. A single shot wound to the head. Single entry point, single exit. Close range, two feet at the most. Fraser: He walked right up to him. Vecchio: Ah Didn't walk anywhere. Exit wound on the left? Who ever did this was sitting right there. Coroner: Uh huh. Officer: Got a bullet. [In the Riv*] Vecchio: She'll show up. Fraser: Thanks Ray. [Fraser's apartment] Fraser: We have to get you an attorney they're going to charge you with this till we find out who's done it. Victoria: What is wrong with you? I shot the son of a bitch.. he was trying to kill me if he didn't do it today he would have done it tomorrow. Fraser: Then we'll plead self defense. Victoria: How? . He was sitting right there. I picked up the gun and I shot him. Fraser: You had a very real fear for you life, that's grounds for self defense. Now I'm going to talk to the state's attorney..pre arrange bail. Victoria: For murder. with my record? Fraser: They haven't laid any charges yet if you go in now. make a statement I think you stand a chance. I know a very good attorney we will. Victoria: Oh I had a really good attorney last time I still wound up with 10 years. Fraser: That was different.. Victoria: Was it? Have you ever been in prison? Do you have any idea what it's like to watch your whole life go by? To watch everything you want go away and know that you can never get it back. Fraser: You can't run away from this. Victoria: Why not? Fraser: I promise you I will do everything. I mean everything in my power to help. Victoria: You mean you won't go away? Fraser: Never.. I won't let you down. Victoria: Not this time. Okay? Okay? [27th precinct] Louise: Have you actually spoken to you client. Fraser: Actually I approached Ms. Boswell on her instructions.

Robert Fraser: I knew who she was in her soul. That's what I loved about her. Fraser: Come on Dad you were never around long enough to call her by name. You know I've got almost no memory of you two together. Robert Fraser: You were only 6 when she died for God's sake, and don't tell me I didn't love your mother. I still do. I wrote her every damned of my life. Fraser: I know I read your journals. You write beautifully Robert Fraser: No professional training but. [Feigning slight embarrassment] Fraser: Do you want to know something? I mean, you never saw who she was. You never saw her when she was angry, you never saw her when she was frightened, she never saw her when she was brave or when she was petty. You never saw her. Robert Fraser: She was a good woman she deserved better. Fraser: No she didn't she deserved you and I'm not going to make the same mistake. Victoria is in trouble.. now.. she scares the hell out of me. I don't even know if I can help. but I know I need to be here and I know who she is. Robert Fraser: Is it snowing out son? Fraser: What? Robert Fraser: Is it snowing out? Fraser: No . Robert Fraser: No I don't suppose it would be. It's almost summer I don't know why I brought this coat.[stairs in the precinct] Elaine: There you are. I just got off the phone with your consulate. They said a Sergeant Mears has been trying to reach you he called a dozen times. Fraser: Thank you. Elaine: Where's the 343 area code? Fraser: The Yukon. [Vecchio's Desk] Vecchio: Yeah thanks. Fraser: Detective Huey's desk. Vecchio: I just got off the phone with ballistics. The bullet that killed
Jolly came from a 38. They matched it to another slug. Whoever shot him
also shot Diefenbaker.
Vecchio: Don't you keep this trunk locked? Fraser: Yes. Vecchio [on cell phone]: Vecchio. Ah yeah, yeah.. I understand I'll be right there. Fraser: Did they find her? Vecchio [sighs, shakes his head]: Internal affairs want to speak with me. [Victoria at the train depot putting a case in 1 locker and locks it then puts an identical case in the locker next to it.] [Interview room at the precinct] Internal affairs officer: Vecchio, you want a cup of coffee? Vecchio: No I'm good, thanks. Internal affairs officer: So you and Fraser you're pretty close, huh? Best buddies? Vecchio: Best buddies. Yeah right. We play stick ball together after work. What the hell is this all about? Internal affairs officer: Did he ever tell you why he came to Chicago? Vecchio: He came for the pizza.. Now is this about him or is it about me? Internal affairs officer: Ah well actually - Welsh [entering room]: How are you doing Detective? Vecchio: What the hell is this all about Lt.? Welsh: Sorry it's out of my jurisdiction.. Internal affairs officer: Yes it is Lou. So if you'll excuse us? Welsh: Sure. But Malner gets to stay. Internal affairs officer: Why is that exactly? Malner: David Malner, Police protection league. Internal affairs officer: Did you call an attorney Detective Vecchio? Welsh: Yes. Vecchio: Did I? Welsh: Yes. Vecchio: Do I need one? Welsh: Yes. [Vecchio's desk] Fraser: [on phone] I'm not following. Mears: We found it in a metal box buried under the floorboards in you fathers cabin. Fraser: How much? Mears: 10,000 dollars. We did a routine check on the serial numbers. The bills are from a robbery in Alaska a few years back. It was one of your cases. Fraser: I remember. Welsh: Constable. I hate to have to do this but we're going to have to ask you some questions in an official capacity. Fraser: I understand, sir. Mears: Ben you realize, of course, I'm going to have to share this information. Fraser: Yes sir. Staff Sergeant Mears RMCP [hands phone to Welsh] [Interview room 1] Vecchio: What kind of money Internal affairs officer: This kind. notice the serial numbers. [Interview room 2] Louise: The money was never recovered from the robbery. Suddenly it starts appearing a few days ago only in Chicago not Alaska. Louie: A sharp teller noticed the mint condition D5 20s he checked the hot list and called it in. He notified some other banks in the area and more started showing up. [interview room 1] Internal affairs officer: Deposit records.. Small retailers mostly in the same neighborhood. [interview room 2] Louise: You live at 221 West Racine? Fraser: Yes Louise: Rent a movie from Video Duo? [interview room 1] Vecchio: I don't know these places. Internal affairs officer: You know Ricki's Cleaners? It's a block from your place. Sheryl there says you gave her this. [interview room 2] Louise: You usually pay for everything in cash? [interview room 1] Vecchio: She must have slipped him the money without his knowledge. Internal affairs officer: Oh yeah beautiful women are always slipping me money. [interview room 2] Fraser: Victoria Metcalf Louise: So you were alone for a week after the robbery? What did you talk about? [interview room 1] Internal Affairs officer: Let's say he knows where 1/2 a million dollars is stashed and he knows the bad guys are going away for a long time. Vecchio: You don't know this guy. [ interview room 2] Louise: Do you own a hand gun? [ interview room 1] Internal Affairs Officer: This guy comes back for his money I'm not going to be left with a lot of options. [ interview room 2] Fraser: It's a standard RMCP issue. Louise: That would make it a 38? [ interview room 1] Internal affairs officer: Did he report it stolen Louis: He said nothing was missing. Vecchio: He didn't shoot the guy. Internal Affairs guy: Did you see the shooting.
Fraser: She ran because she was frightened. Louise: Is this the same woman who spent 3 days in your apartment without leaving a print? [interview room 1] Internal affairs officer: has anyone seen this woman? Vecchio: There were a lot of people. Internal affairs officer: Can you name one? Vecchio: Yeah me. Internal Affairs officer: Do you mind if I look in your wallet? Internal affairs officer: Is this her? [ interview room 2] Fraser: Yes Internal Affairs officer: [sigh] She's dead Fraser. Two months ago. Automobile accident. [Line up. Fraser is next to Gardino, Fraser is No. 4] Louis: I'm sorry about this. Fraser: It's all right. Soap seller: Number 4. Welsh: Take your time. Seller: Hey the guy gave me a 20 for a piece of soap. Welsh: Thank you. [walks into the waiting room] Mr. Dewy . [Walks back into the line up viewing room] Take a close look . Any doubts what so ever. Dewy: Number 4. [Vecchio's desk] Vecchio: So this is what it comes down to. We're hanging by a thread and Huey and Louie hold the scissors. Welsh: This is nonsense two witnesses saw the woman at the zoo. Louise: There is no woman. She's dead. Everybody involved with the robbery ends up dead and Fraser ends up with the money. Internal Affairs Guy: Which he shares with his good friend Ray. Louis: Sir, I know that Vecchio's a real weasel but he's a straight up cop. Internal affairs guy: You mean that? Huey: Oh yeah. serious weasel. Louise: We have 10,000 dollars in Fraser's cabin, a motive, an opportunity and a 38 that's conveniently missing. I want an arrest. Welsh: And I want a murder weapon. Louise: Lieutenant, you're allowing your personal feelings to interfere with - Welsh: Your damned right I am. Louise: Suspend Vecchio and maybe he'll roll on him. Welsh: For a couple of 20s? Internal affairs officer: We have possession and possible conspiracy to commit murder. This is not your call . Suspend him. that's it. [Vecchio's Desk] Vecchio: And I thought this woman would come between us. Fraser: Things aren't what they seem. Ray. Vecchio: She set you up Fraser.. She slipped you bad money and then scrubbed her prints from your apartment and she stole you gun. Dief must have been trying to stop her. Elaine: I talked to the police in Alaska concerning the death of Victoria Metcalf. It was a car accident. Sounds like it was pretty gruesome. Went off a cliff. 3rd degree burns over 90% of the body. Vecchio: I'm getting they didn't use dental records for identification purposes. Elaine: No need they had a positive ID by the sister. The body was cremated. Fraser: Thank you. Vecchio: She identified her own body. That's pretty gutsy. Welsh: Vecchio. Get in here. [Welsh's Office] Vecchio: Constable Fraser under arrest Sir? Welsh: No but tell him not to leave town. Vecchio: Thanks for sticking up for him Sir. Welsh: Detective Vecchio I have to ask you for your shield. Vecchio: Sir? Welsh: You're on suspension. Affective immediately. Vecchio: Anything else sir? Welsh: I'm sorry. [Vecchio's Desk] Vecchio: Let's go. [Welsh's office] Huey: Weren't you supposed to ask for his weapon as well? Welsh: Was I? Detective Huey get a picture of this deceased Metcalf woman and bring it out to all the shops where the money was passed. Huey: Yes Sir. Welsh: Detective Gardino. Get the crime scene squad over to Vecchio's and dust it from top to bottom if she was there I want prints, hair, nail clippings anything. you guys search the parking lot at the zoo for the murder weapon? Louie: Every inch. Welsh: Good I'll do it again. [Victoria's Hotel] Receptionist: No one of that name. Vecchio: Take another look. Receptionist: Sorry. Fraser: I dropped her off at the lobby she must've been waiting in the cab when I came back. Vecchio: This woman really has it bad for you doesn't she? [Video shop guy behind counter looks at photo and shakes his head] Huey: Thank you. [Vecchio's house Huey, Louis and crime squad are printing the place] [Outside the phone exchange in the Riv*] Vecchio: Phone calls from my house. take a look at the entry for 3 o'clock.555 7333. She called Jolly 20 minutes before we got there. She didn't leave anything to chance. [The confessional booth] Diamond thief: You some kind of religious freak. Victoria : You got the diamonds Thief: 128 Water Street. You come on your lonesome. Victoria: I'm not coming at all my partner'll handle the exchange. Thief: Smart move. Let your partner know that if any thing goes wrong there's no place to hide if we want to find him. [Zookeeper drags a gun out of the polar bear pool] [Animal hospital] Welsh: How's he doing? Fraser: Much better thank you. You found the gun.. Welsh: Constable I'm about to ask you if this is your weapon before you answer would you like to have a lawyer present. Fraser: No sir. That is my weapon. Welsh: I'm sorry. Detective. would you read Constable Fraser his rights? Hand cuff him and take him down town.. Huey: Are the cuffs really necessary? Welsh: He's being charged with 1st degree murder. Please hand cuff him. Huey: I'm sorry Fraser. Fraser: It's your duty. [jail] Vecchio: I put together your bail you should be out within the hour. Fraser: You can't do that Ray it's too much. Vecchio: The judge considers you a flight risk. But I don't. Fraser: But you don't have that kind of money you'd have to mortgage your house. Vecchio: Are you going to skip on me? Fraser: No. Vecchio: Then there's nothing to worry about. I'll meet you out front. [Vecchio walks back through the precinct followed by his dead Dad.] Mr. Vecchio: You'll never see that money again. Vecchio: Pop, I'm warning you. Stay out of this. Mr. Vecchio: I leave you my house. This is what you do with it.
Vecchio: Don't you have things to do in Hell or wherever you are? Mr. Vecchio: Purgatory and for my sins I've got to with you make stupid mistakes. And who gave you permission to use my pool table. Vecchio: Give it a rest Pop. Louise: Have you considered the offer Detective? Vecchio: There's no need. Answer's the same. Louise: Your friend is going down and you're this close to going down with him. Vecchio: Let me tell you something. You can go to Hell and if you need directions you can ask the guy who's following me. [Riv outside Fraser's building] Vecchio: You sure you don't want to get something to eat? Fraser: No thanks anyway. Vecchio: We will find her you know? Fraser: You should take the deal. Vecchio: I haven't been offered one. Fraser: You should take it anyway. Vecchio: Hey Benny. Not in your life time. [in a desperate attempt to recapture what he thought he had with Victoria, Fraser lights all the candles] Robert Fraser: What are you doing.? Fraser: Go away.. Robert Fraser: She's not coming back to you and why in God's name would you want her to? Fraser: Because. [Ben starts crying] because I need. Oh God. Robert Fraser: You're not going to get it. Sometimes in life all you need is that second chance and it's the one thing you're not going to have. [Knock on the door. Ben wipes his face on his sleeve] Mr Mustafi: You finished with my power drill yet? Fraser: No I'm sorry. I've not. Mr. Mustafi: That's OK. There's a woman on my telephone for you. [phone] Victoria: You go through the store to the back room if you don't come alone I won't be there. And Ben. Bring some quarters. [back room of a porn house Fraser feeds in a quarter, the window lifts revealing Victoria] Victoria: Hi. Fraser: You must really hate me for what I did. Victoria:Yeah. Hate.. Love.. those two emotions about cover it Fraser: The girl in the car wreck was your sister. Victoria: She borrowed my car. The police just assumed it was me. I had an opportunity. I took it. Fooled everybody. Fraser: Except Jolly. Victoria: Except Jolly. There were only two ways to end that relationship. One of them was with me dead. Fraser: What do you want Victoria? Victoria: You. Fraser: No you don't. Victoria: Why do you think I did all of this? Fraser: Revenge. Victoria: Maybe. But I need you I want you to go away with me. Fraser: You know I can't do that. Victoria: Why not? You don't have much to stick around here for. And you won't like prison. Fraser: I'm sorry. Victoria: I'm sorry too because I need you to make an exchange if you don't there's a key. This key fits a locker and in that locker is 25000 dollars in sequentially numbered bills. The key is at your friend Ray's house. You have one hour to decide and then I call Internal affairs and tell them where to find it. [the door between them slides shut, kicks the door of the room in but Victoria has already gone. he runs to Ray's house] Fraser: Ray? [tears Ray's house apart looking for the key. He finds it in a snowstorm paper weight. Phone rings] Victoria: You know you never should have introduced me to your friends. Fraser: I'll do it. Victoria: I do love you, you know. Fraser: Where do I go? Victoria: There's a car parked in the alley behind the strip club. The money's in the trunk. 128 Water Street. And Ben if you don't come back with the diamonds I'll make the call. [She hangs up the receiver and then makes another call] Internal Affairs Please.

Fraser: No ma'am, I'm afraid I can't. [128 Water Street] Thief: You think I'm a fool? Fraser: No I think you're a criminal. Thief: You think we wouldn't check the serial numbers? You could've come to me, told me your problem. I could've given you some value for what you have. Maybe twenty cents on the dollar but you got greedy. I warned your partner. She didn't seem to place too much value on your life, does she? Fraser: Apparently not. Thief: Keep one diamond give the rest back to me. Fraser: No I'm afraid I have to take them all. Thief: You know what? I've changed my mind you can't keep any. Fraser grabs all the diamonds and makes a run for it] Victoria: Show me. Show me [He shows her] Very nice now don't drop 'em.
