Sorry to hear that.
So is the Senator.
See he really enjoyed your services but you were paid once and he sees no reason to pay you again.
Alright.
If he would rather do this thru his press agent.
I think we can come to some kind of accommodation.
I'm so glad.
- There's a parking space right there.

One down.
Oh! My bag.
Fraser! Watch where you're going! Hey! Hey! Somebody stop that little thief.
She stole my brooch! Thief! Stop that kid! Hey! Stop.
Hey! Pickpockets are everywhere.
Would you mind? [meaning would he mind watching the car.]
No, no problem.
I'll drive around and meet you.
- Oh Fraser, thank god.
- I'll be right back.
- Fraser! Go, go! Come on, Come on.
Gotcha! Go! I'm sorry! They're obviously much more familiar with the territory than Sir? Sir! Due South S02E05 "The promise" I waited in the lobby for twenty minutes and then I took my seat.
I assumed Barclay had been delayed on business.
It wasn't uncommon.
Were you aware of any particular appointments Miss Barclay had Schedule last evening? No.
I wasn't privy to that kind of information.
But you did work for her.
We were associates.
And she provided you with clientele.
They were associated, I think.
I think that is sufficient.
Well, then ask - The demantoids.
- What? The demantoids.
They're a green gemstone.
A variety andradite of commonly known as green garnets.
Lieutenant, is this an interrogation or a first date? I mean I realize she has a set of great eyes but Do you mind? Apparently the Inspector's brooch was a gift and has some particular significant that makes it irreplaceable so I The book.
Ask about the book Or would that be an irrelevant question.
- Does any have his own case load.
Shut up! Sir, you don't understand.
- Shut up! - Shut up! - It's a very attractive brooch.
- Shut up! open with her responses Detective.
We understand Miss Barclay had a book with names, addresses and private phone numbers.
No, sir, People have address books.
This book is rather exclusive.
A lot of names of clients who are somewhat publicity shy.
Especially if it's the wrong kind of publicity.
I'm afraid I wouldn't know about that.
- Oh, come on.
Look Lieutenant.
- We're not asking you to implicate Lieutenant, she knows all about the book.
She used to be one of Sunny's girls.
Most of the guys she spends her evenings with are all over magazines.
Welsh, Does your Detective not have a leash? Look Lieutenant, you gotta give me this case.
- I spent six years.
- Get out my near! - I know how to - handle this sort of thing.
- Vecchio! God only knows what names are in that address book.
- It requires very special handling.
- Not your can't special handling.
Oh and what's that suppose to mean? I think what the Commander is suggesting is that your methods tend to be a little how do you put it? - In your face? - Exactly.
- Commander have you met - The Mountie.
Sherry O'Neil.
Ben Fraser.
Pleased to meet you.
I'm afraid I have a pressing appointment if you need any more information my attorney will give you his card.
Ohhh! I see where this is going.
Yeah, why don't we give this to the Duck Boys.
They're perfect for the assignment.
They don't ruffle anybody's feathers.
- Hey, are those Chenille posts? - Yes! Stunning.
They'll do fine.
Yes, it was my mistake, huh? Instead of being out there solving crimes I should have been attending charm school.
He always whine like this? Well, I wouldn't use the word whine but he does have an occasionally a nasal quality.
Yes, he does.
Is that a sexist remark? Do I detect reverse discrimination? Commander O'Neil, do you have a suspect in the Barclay murder? No statements.
Not again here.
Constable, do you happen to have an insignificant and time consuming case in your back pocket? As a matter of fact, sir, yes.
There's a matter of a street urchin.
Oh, perfect.
Perfect.
Take Vecchio with you.
Thank you Leftenant.
[Celia's Fine Reusables.]
Naugahyde.
No, it's leather.
Smell it.
Naugahyde.
Well, take it or leave it.
What about this? Some kind of computer.
It's got to be worth at least a 100 bucks.
I've got 10 of them.
Show her the brooch.
Show her! Well, I thought maybe I keep this one.
No, we need the money.
Well, it's mine.
No, nothings yours.
Not until I say.
- Maybe you ought to listen to your sister.
- Somebody ask you!? Look at yourself, Sidney.
Look at your hands.
Hard to pitch quality stuff I would say with those size mitts.
I know remember you breads buttered.
You want the pin or not? Can't more it.
Take it somewhere else.
Thanks.
Come on.
The matinee is getting old.
Who does the business in this family, huh? Who? It's just a stupid piece of jewelry! I don't ask you for much.
I don't ask you for clothes or money or anything.
- Not that you'd give it to me if I did.
- Get you jewelry when we can afford it.
I want it.
Look fine.
You can starve to death! Yeah, great! How you doing today Sid? I don't have time for you Carley.
Well, you better or otherwise I'll have to invite you and your sister down to the office for an interview.
Now that would be an official interview.
Cost us both time and money.
I'm out of here.
Look, I gave you 500 bucks last week.
That was last week.
- Well, I don't have it.
- Can you get it? No! I do have an obligation to turn your sister to a foster home.
My sister's staying with me.
Not if you can't afford it.
- Stay out of trouble now.
- Yeah, what ever.
Andy, today! I'm hear about this tall.
Her mother's worried sick about her.
This is a number I can be reached at.
We get a lot of run aways in here.
I'll ask around.
Thank you.
There's no way we're gonna find these kids.
They're street smart.
They live underground.
We might as well be looking for a pendent winning Cubs team.
I promised the Inspector, Ray.
You promised her.
The same woman who's been trying to get you fired for weeks.
Does the word sap mean anything to you Benny? Of course it does, Ray: It's from the Latin Sapphire.
It is? Don't be a sap, Ray.
You don't really know Latin.
[speaks some Latin.]
Ah, you're making that up.
You're babying yourself, you know that.
Now, it's only gonna make the situation worse.
Ah, leave him alone.
He's sick.
Ray, he is my wolf.
I believe I know what's best for him.
How would you know what's bast for him.
You haven't been sick a day in your life.
I most certainly have.
With what? - Various childhood illnesses.
- Such as? - The usual.
- Could you be a little more specific? Pink eye.
Both of them.
Swelled up like watermelons.
Pink eye.
Alright.
Suit yourself.
Yeah.
My heart's bleeding for you.
You know I hear that pink eye can be fatal.
In the North? Most done.
You know first impressions can be misleading, Ray.
No, you just have to find the good in everyone even if you have to manufacture it.
Look at this.
Ah.
Somebody has a sweet tooth.
Hmm.
Did I ever tell you how much I hate it when you do that mmm? Hmm! Underground.
Oh no, no.
I am not going underground.
I'll be right back.
Fraser! Fraser! Oh, why do I always let him do this to me.
Alright.
Alright.
I'm coming.
But remember, this is Chicago! If we crawl into this thing we may never come out! Ohhhh! Fraser, where are you? I'm here, Ray: Just follow my voice.
- You see the kids? - No.
- The brooch? - No.
- Exactly, so lets just turn around.
- Ray.
This is a swill pit.
You brought me into a swill pit! No, it's not a swill pit, Ray.
First of all, swill entails a more pungent odor and a pit is generally a circular indentation with only one entrance from the top.
This however fits the definition of a tunnel.
- A long straight - Ow! Correction, a long meandering tunnel.
Alright, call it what you want but all I see is dirt and mold and Oh my god.
Oh My God.
You're not gonna don't put that I'm just smelling it, Ray.
Like there isn't enough to smell in here you have to dredge something up from the sledge.
- A carrot! - What? It's a carrot.
Alright great.
It's a carrot.
Just drop it.
- Hmm, it's fresh too.
- You ate it?! Ray, calm down I'm sure there's nothing in here less sanitary than - Ohh.
- Stay away from that, Ray.
Out.
That's it.
Out! Now.
Out! Do you know how many suits of mine you've ruined? Twenty-four perfectly good - Holy Cow! Come on man, get out of here! What is it with you? Does dirt not stick to you? Were you scotch guarded at birth? Hanky? - Hey, hey, look what you did.
- I'm Sorry This is genuine leather.
Police, she's a pick pocket.
Where is it? You stole something from me and I want it back.
Stop right there! You take him.
I'm sorry, I'm have to ask you to come with me.
There, Ma'am.
You have my brooch? Well uh, no, sir.
I see.
You brought me down here in the middle of my busy schedule and you don't have my brooch? The police would like you to help identify a suspect who might have stolen it.
- But they don't have my brooch either.
- No.
I thought I made it clear you are not here to clean up America.
This is their problem.
Oh, thank you, I appreciate you pointing that out.
I'm not interested in retribution, I'm interested in results.
Even a rudimentary understanding of dealing with criminals would indicate you would have a better chance at locating the where about of my brooch with the suspect free to be followed.
Or am I mistaken, Constable? Uh, no, sir you're quite right.
- Well then, get going.
- Yes, sir.
Oh, yeah, I'd crawl through a sewer for her any day.
Cleaned out her apartment got every book we could find.
Fiction and nonfiction.
Looking for an appointment book with names and numbers of possible suspects not a good read officer.
How long you been out of the academy? It's useless.
Cut the kid loose.
Ray! The man who assaulted her was the same man she stole from.
Look, you spend the day picking other peoples pockets, you're going to tick somebody off.
Well, that's hardly comfort to a 14 year old is it? Well, what do you care so much about this kid for? Alright.
Please tell me it doesn't involve sub zero temperatures or Inuit legends.
- No.
It does not.
- Aw, of course it does.
It always does.
Ray, all right.
When I was little my grandparents too me on vacation to Aklavik.
What for? A little sun and sand? Oh, hardly.
It's a thriving urban center.
Anyway, one day I I wandered off alone when they were window shopping.
There I was all alone in a big city.
The thing is Ray, I became hungry.
Very hungry.
I didn't know anyone.
II didn't have any money.
I I was desperate.
So you ate a polar bear? Don't be ridiculous, Ray.
I boiled my shoes.
My oxfords.
My left oxford to be exact, Boy.
My grandmother ever tan my hide over that [one.]
.
Oh That's a good one, so what's the point? The point is, Ray, being young and alone is frightening.
Without proper guidance they'll do things that are out of character.
Look, they're petty thieves, You know? They rob and assault people for nickels and dimes.
Ray, will you at least let me talk to her for a second.
Okay, okay, then you promise to leave me alone.
I promise.
- Okay, go ahead.
- Thank you.
Excuse me, can I talk to you? The man who accosted you Who is this guy? Benton Fraser, Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
He was the same man who chased you last night, was he not? Excuse me, are you here in some official capacity? My superior officer has lost something.
A brooch.
We don't have to listen to him, right? Your sister has been accosted twice by the same man in the last 24 hours.
She's fine.
Not if we hadn't been there.
Look, I'm telling you I can take care of her.
I think you probably can under normal circumstances.
Like I said, do we have to talk to him? No, you don't.
Fine.
Excuse me, you forgot your sugar cubes.
Thanks.
- Sid? - What? What?! Nothing, nothing.
This what you stole from that guy? Yeah, I guess so.
Must be worth something.
No, it's just junk, you heard Celia.
No, it's worth something.
Maybe even a thousand.
Well, then give it to the cop.
You heard the Mountie, he tried to kill me! Yes, so when has a pig ever been straight with us.
Don't we have enough saved up already? Can't we just jet? No, we need more.
We always need more.
Look, we're going, okay? Don't I always do as I say? You want to go back to the foster home? I'm taking care of you.
Andy! Andy! You meet me back at Celia's, do you hear me? Listen buster, if you eat all your carrots, I've got sugar cubes for dessert for you.
It's a very good choice.
- Plenty of carotene.
- What's that? It's a red or yellow crystalline pigment found in carrots among other things.
The body converts it into vitamin A.
It's the orange stuff.
Oh.
Have you ever ridden in one of these things? Sid says it's a waste of money.
Sid's not paying.
Excuse me.
May I? I've had some experience.
Go ahead.
But she only moves for me.
Really? There, come on up.
Diefenbaker.
It's a wolf, huh? Yes, his name is Diefenbaker.
He looks pretty sick.
Oh, it's just a plea for your sympathy I assure you.
So, it's just you and your brother then? No, we have a family.
They got a big ranch with lots of horses.
Um, we're just hanging out, making a few bucks until we can hook up with them again.
You ever been to Wyoming? As a matter of fact, I have.
I arrested a man in Wyoming.
Then you know where we're going.
- I'll have my own horse when we're there.
- Mmhum.
- I'll ride him everyday.
- Mmhum.
That's why Sid's got us working so hard.
He's just trying to get us there.
Well, I imagine you'll be leaving quite soon.
Yeah, pretty soon I guess.
When? A week? A month? I don't know.
It's a big trip.
You musta been planning it a long time.
You must talk about it a lot.
Yeah, we talk about it.
Well, I talk about it.
How long? What? How long you been planning the trip? A few months maybe.
- More like a year actually.
- Ah.
Look, we're going, okay? Sid always does what he says.
Always.
It's just that we got to go together.
Look, we promised.
Okay.
Here, you want to try this? Just hold em nice and loose.
That's it.
Personally I prefer Myrtle Beach to Martha's Vineyards.
You? Tell me, is that blouse from the gap? So, what do you want? Excuse me? Sid says people only do stuff for you when they want something.
So what is it? Well, you know the worlds a big place.
Sid's only seen a little part of it.
Do you think that guy's gonna come after me again? I think that's very likely.
He kept saying something about a book or something.
Is that what you stole from him? He didn't say anything about stealing anything.
Oh, that's right, she didn't! Want to go around again? Well, it's kinda raining.
Oh, yeah.
I'll help you down.
The killer has a specific tattoo on the side of his neck.
She says she pick pocketed something from him the night of the murder.
Yeah, so? Well, she said she took some kind of device.
I think they call it an electronic organizer.
The book.
address book.
Perhaps.
There's something more, Ray She said he tried to use a wire on her.
I think it was a garroting wire.
Now guess who was killed the same way.
SUNNY BARCLAY DEAD "Madam to the Stars Murdered" It was a small tattoo.
The stars and stripes.
Located approximately the left ear.
I remember quite distinctly.
And judging by the sharpness of the color, our man either avoided the sun or the tattoo was relatively new.
Now if we can just match up the style of the tattoo to the artisan.
Fraser, a tattoo is a tattoo.
It doesn't take a Michael Angelo to doodle old glory on somebody's neck.
On the contrary, Ray.
A tattoo is a very individual thing.
You don't hand it over to just anybody.
You have to have faith in a vision and the integrity of the artist.
- The artist? - Yes.
You call this art? Very much so.
And you know something? It's exactly that kind of assumption that has contributed to the commercialization of this ancient from in recent years.
Excuse me.
These subtle shadings are they Zulu influence or Tanganyikan? Boyd.
Ah! Goodbye Train Performed by Big Sugar Well, I walked, walked my baby And I said, I walked her down to the train And I said, baby, please walk slow You know, I hate to see you go Well, I walked my baby, down Nuance.
You don't get a lot of it in this business.
That's why I remember him.
Nuance? The man favored subtlety.
At first I thought he was just another cro-magnum knock off.
I had him figured for the dancing Statue of Liberty.
The flag of Iwo Jima.
Jon Bon Jovi.
You sure you only want red and white? Uh, yes, just red and white.
Thank you.
Then he did something unexpected it was likely he [had.]
ordered a bottle of 1970 Chateau Margo with his burrito.
You mean the American flag on the back of his neck? Yeah, postage stamp size.
You have to appreciate it.
You're sure.
I got a very nice metallic puce.
No, no uh red and white will be sufficient.
Thank you.
and I believe you will find that the maple leaf actually has three points unlike the oak which you have , you have rendered quite, uh, accurate here.
Problem? No.
Carry on.
Do you know where we might find this guy with all the nuance? No.
He just paid cash and then he left.
Did he talk about his work? Mention a favorite restaurant or anything? Not the talkative type.
He gave me this though.
Johnstone.
Senator Johnstone.
Come on, let's go.
Ah, well, perhaps next time.
Well, that's very nice.
Is that the Tanganyikan influence? Okay, so Sid, when are we going to leave? Leave me alone.
Sid, when? Don't know.
A month or two.
Look at this.
It's movie actors and football players.
They've got lots of money.
So what? Some of their names are in this computer.
I knew it was worth something.
I knew it.
Okay.
How much do we have saved? You don't worry about that.
That's my business.
You dip, I do the rest.
What the hell are you doing? Looking at our money.
- give it! - OK.
- give it! Look, that money is mine too.
I must of lifted 1200 bucks last week.
now where is it? I spent it, alright! Andy! Don't you walk away from me.
You spent our money, Sid.
Look, I put food in your mouth and a roof over your head.
You said always it was okay to steal from other people.
Look, you know how much it costs me to keep you out of that foster home? You said it was all so we could go to Wyoming.
There's nothing in Wyoming! It's just some stupid idea you got in your head.
What are you talking about? Mom has family that live there.
You said that Mother lied! And you said you'd take me there.
You lied.
Celebrities no different than the next guy, Fraser.
The only mistake you can make is treating them like they are.
Still Ray, there's a matter of etiquette.
Are you saying I don't have any etiquette? Etiquette is a loose clarification of the rules of conduct in polite society and I believe that precludes accusing a United States Senator of murder, conspiracy and moral deviants.
Fraser, this is America, we do that all the time.
Excuse me, Senator Johnstone please.
We have dozens of campaign workers.
We don't demand a psychiatric history before we allow them to stuff envelopes.
This one.
The woman killed was Sunny Barclay.
Maybe you seen some of the press coverage? Adjust the slogan.
This way, Detective.
That's quite an accusation.
Uh, who's accusing? I'd just like a word with the Senator.
Sounds to me like you want to start a smear campaign.
Look, I've got a dead madam, a missing address book and a guy running around with a garroting wire who's a walking advertisement for Elliot Johnstone.
I think that warrants a conversation with the man.
If you believe the Senator, a well known advocate of family values, knew Miss Barclay? It wouldn't be the first time a politician preached one thing and practiced another.
You have proof of this? Look, all I'm asking for is five minutes of the mans time.
Now you can keep stonewalling me and I'm going to start getting suspicious.
Like maybe the Senator did know Sunny Barclay.
Maybe they exchanged phone numbers and maybe that phone number found it's way into her little black book.
So you are accusing him? All I'm saying is it's possible.
Well, it's not.
Oh, and you know this for sure.
You know where he is and who he's with every minute of every day and every night? Yes.
I do.
And I thought you were his campaign manager.
I am.
I'm also his wife.
What district did you say you're with? A waitress gave me your number.
I have what you're looking for.
Yeah.
A book with names in it.
Want to hear some? Be smart kid, take the book back to the alley where you stole it.
I'll meet you there.
I want an award.
10,000.
If you don't pay, I take the book to the cops.
The girl.
She's your sister, isn't she? What? I thought so.
She looks a lot like you.
My sister? The alley.
One hour.
Bring the book.
What about my sister? Oh, don't worry.
I'll keep a close eye on her.
Sweetheart you're not lucky.
Shh It's OK.
I told you I don't want .
Alright.
Get get in the car.
Sid! Now that takes real vision.
Shaking down a United States Senator.
Honest to God, sir all we did was ask Mrs.
Johnstone a couple of questions, she completely over reacted.
Oh, you think? You did accuse her husband of consorting with a world famous prostitute.
Suggested, sir, never accused.
That makes a big difference.
Harding.
- What were you thinking? - Excuse me? You let this idiot question a United States Senator? Can't we talk about this in private? I don't have time for that.
I have to report to the Mayor's office and explain to them why your Detective lost his mind! Sir, we have compelling evidence trying one of the senators men to the murder of Sunny Barclay.
Oh, really? And what would that compelling evidence be? Well, that would be uh you see, sir it's sort of a small uh - It's a tattoo, sir.
- Yeah, that's what it is, sir.
Johnstone has a tattoo? An employee.
His body guard I believe.
The guy with the tattoo murdered Sunny Barclay and stole her organizer and we have a witness.
Someone saw this guy kill Sunny? Well not exactly.
Our witness stole the organizer from the killer.
- A young pick pocket, sir.
- Oh, A credible witness.
She was later threatened by the tattoo man with the same type of weapon.
So you proceeded to grill the Senators wife on the word of a thief.
Well, not just the thief, sir we also spoke with the tattoo artist and he gave us this.
Fraser, there are thousands of these things all over the city.
I have one myself.
I believe, sir that you will find all those other pins are labeled 'Johnstone 96'.
This one was labeled from his earlier campaign in 1990.
Indicating that whoever wore it had to have a particular attachment to the senator to have kept it and be wearing it six years later.
Your pickpocket can she I.
D.
the guy? Yes - Is she here ready to make a statement? - Well, she's not on the premises, sir.
- Have you stashed somewhere? - Well, we don't actually have her in our actual possession.
But you know where to find her.
Oh, no, sir, we don't have the slightest idea.
Oh, you are a piece of work, Vecchio.
And you wonder why you're career is going no where.
Nope.
You are so incompetent you couldn't get to no where if I drew you a map.
- Detective Vecchio? - I'm not through with him.
Uh, Commander, the kid says it's urgent.
Uh, what kid? Would you mind not interrupting me? Commander, This is still my unit, these are my Detectives.
Now Detective Vecchio needs to be disciplined, I'll do it.
What does he want? Something about an address book? Well, if you'll excuse us, please? He said he'd be here.
He's gonna see us.
He's going to know I went to the cops.
Relax.
He doesn't think you're that smart.
All units report.
Unit one's in place.
Unit 2.
Unit 3.
Unit 3 are you there? Unit 3.
Unit 3 check.
Suspect appears.
let him get in position.
Don't overreact just wait for my command.
That is unless you - It's your department.
- Thank you, sir.
They're here.
Stay cool.
Stop it.
Moving this way.
Shut up! Hold it police.
Hold it! We're blown Stay put! - Where the hell are they? - On the roof.
They're on the roof! Nothing.
Nothing! - Move it! - I can't do that.
I'll kill her now.
Get out of the way.
Won't do you any good.
Andy! Andy! No! Sid! Sid! No! Well, actually Sunny Barclays address book was recovered Just get him ready to go into court.
- You okay? - I'm fine.
I was thinking maybe we should get out of this place.
Sid! You just fell off a building.
Thank you for brooch.
She never wanted to steal.
I made her.
Ah, not to worry.
I got a friend down at the State Attorney's office.
Good luck.
- Your friend hates you, Ray.
- Ah, it's just a ploy.
- She would like to see you incarcerated.
- Yes, so she likes handcuffs.
- Oh, sorry.
- No, I'm fine.
Ahh I took the liberty of I founded on my desk this morning.
Ah, I hope it wasn't damage under the No.
Actually It's been like that for years.
Thank you for finding it.
And don't ever go to my office again without permission.
That's my first and last warning! By : Reza Fa.
