I Coulda Been a Defendant

- Fraser.
- Thank you.
- You got to do that for everyone? - Despite efforts to halt development - Uh, excuse me.
- Cut.
- Excuse me.
- Hey, come on, get out of there.
- Here, ma'am.
- Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Fraser, come on! - This historical - Pardon me.
- Cut.
- Okay, let's go, guys.
Right away.
Come on, let's go.
- Get your ice cream here.
- You said I could have ice cream.
Please, please, please.
- We're going to be late.
Put that money away.
I told you, no ice cream today.
We don't have time.
Billy! - Watch out! - Chicago P.
D.
Step out of the car.
Step out.
You all right, son? - What happened? - License.
- You saved my boy's life.
- You, sir, are you all right? - Me? I I'm okay.
- Anybody hurt? - No, Ray, everyone seems to be all right, thanks to the quick thinking of - Okay, where'd he go? - I have no idea.
- Well, we have to find him.
- Why? - Because the guy's a hero.
- She has a point, Ray.
Historically, communities create myths to act as a mirror to themselves, from Glooscap, who's the great hunter of the Meegamaage, to George Steinbrenner, who I'm told is the symbol of a sensitive and caring New York.
- Well, can you find him? - Oh - Possibly.
- Look, Fraser, I don't have time forthis.
The day's getting away from me.
What are you doing? - Just one second, Ray.
- One s what? - He came from this direction.
- Haven't you tasted enough garbage for one day? - Ugh.
- There might be something here to identify Ah, yes.
One of these will be his ATM receipt.
- How do you know that? - Well, from the gum.
He deposited this overthere.
He must have picked it up here when he was taking his money out.
- How do you know which slip's his? - There were three transactions at the time.
One of these will be his.
And the bank will have his name and his address.
- They won't give it without a warrant.
- They'll give it to me.
I've got a camera.
[knocking.]
- Police, Mr.
Talbot.
Would you open up a minute? You're not in any trouble.
We just want to thank you for saving the kid.
- Just a minute! [glass breaking.]
- You all right in there? [Diefenbaker grumbling.]
- Ray.
Ma'am.
- Don't tell me.
Capricorn.
- Sorry, ma'am, no.
Canadian.
- Oh, that's great.
I'm Albanian.
- That's nice.
I wonder if you could do me the favour of getting us to the end of the alley as quickly as possible.
- Anything you want, Good-looking.
- Thank you kindly.
- Hey, buddy, look out! - Are you all right, sir? Are you all right? - Just take it easy, take take it easy.
We're just trying to help.
Gun! Don't move! Spread 'em! Hands away from the body.
- Don't, don't, don't.
This is a mistake.
- You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say may be held against you in a court.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford one, one will be - Appointed to you.
- Appointed to you forfree.
Hands away from the body! What are you, deaf? - This is a mistake.
This is really a big mistake.
This is just a mistake.
- Shut up! - But I didn't do anything.
- You didn't? Then we screwed up.
You're free to go.
- Really? - Sit down! - But I didn't do anything.
- Oh, I'm sure you didn't.
In fact, you hump this job long enough, you'll discover very few criminals ever actually commit a crime.
You know, just the other day, I find this guy standing over a dead body, smoking gun in his hand, marked bills in his pocket.
Guess what.
He didn't do it either.
- What are you talking about? - What you didn't do! You want to start with the gun or start with these? - No, you really don't understand.
- No, I don't.
So tell me why an honest guy like you was running around Chicago with more names than the phone book, carrying a loaded piece? - I have a permit forthat gun.
- Under what name? Mr.
Talbot.
Mr.
Hughes.
Mr.
Jackson.
Dr.
Walnut? - I can't be on television.
Not on television.
- I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat myself when under stress.
This is America, pal.
Everybody wants to be on television.
- But I can't be on television.
[whining.]
- I'll tell you what.
- I agree.
- I won't waste more of your valuable time.
I'll take you to a nice holding cell and we can spend the night there.
We can do this all again tomorrow.
[knocking.]
Fraser, can you not do that? Sort of gives it away.
- Something's not right.
- Yeah, he's nuts.
- No, he's frightened.
- Of course, he's frightened.
That's me.
That's my thing.
On the inside, I'm a poet.
- Hmm.
Does he seem like a bad guy to you? - He's polite.
Big deal.
Jack the ripper was polite.
- I'd like to talk to him.
- Torture.
That's a good idea.
I neverthought of that.
- That's very funny, Ray.
- Polite cop, bad cop.
It might work.
[door closing.]
- Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Three bags full, sir.
Oh, yes, sir, we'll cooperate fully.
Well, sir, I wasn't aware they were in the building.
Uh, yes, sir, I'll take care of it.
Vecchio! - Lieutenant, there's some guy from Justice on the line foryou.
- Park him.
Vecchio, don't move.
Don't move.
- I cannot give you any information.
- Sit! Go on, sit down! Stay.
My office.
- That's an interesting pattern.
- It's a rhomboid.
- So it is.
- Yeah.
I like to make different-size sides, then try and figure out how many I can get into a fixed space, something determinate with few variables.
I like to do that.
Your dog seems like a nice dog.
Is he a nice dog? - He's half wolf, actually.
- Ah, a wolf, a wolf, howling wolf.
Are they good friends, howling wolves? - Loyal companions.
You know, that was a very admirable thing you did today, very courageous.
- No.
Stupid.
Very stupid.
- You saved a boy's life.
Would you change that? - No.
No, I like kids.
Kids are great.
I like kids.
I don't like TV.
TV guys.
I can't be on TV.
I don't That's a concern.
- The police are concerned about yourforged documents and the weapon.
You don't want to talk about that? - No, I don't, I don't.
I really don't.
- You mind if I try? - Here.
[humming.]
- Now, let's see if I got this right.
A guy saves a kid's life, and to show our gratitude, we go to his house, knock down his door, cuff him, drag him here and grill the snot out of him.
- Guy had a gun.
- He had a gun? Here in Chicago, a man had a gun.
What is this world coming to? - That guy from Justice is on the line again.
- I said park him.
Lookit, you arrested a good Samaritan in front of a camera crew.
Now, when the media sees it, they get very excited.
When they get excited, Commander Murphy gets excited.
When Murphy gets excited, I get piles.
Now, I want that guy and the media out of the building ASAP.
Do we understand each other? - Gotta ID him.
- All right, if he's Jimmy Hoffa, keep him.
Anybody else, set him free.
- So it's not that complicated, you see.
It's just a wave of possibilities that collapse to a probability.
Then you can say, "I observe this," that which we call reality.
Do you have a mother and a father? - No, they're both dead.
- Like me.
Dead.
Both of them.
Dead.
Dead.
Sister? - No, I was an only child.
Although, you know, I had a best friend in the village I grew up in.
- Best friend, huh? Was he like your brother? So he took care of you like he was your brother? Was he like your brother? - Yes, he was.
- Name? - Innussiq.
- Spell that.
Spell that, please.
l-N- N-U-S [knocking.]
S- l-Q.
I'll be right back.
- Why is Welsh giving me all this chin music about this guy? Hey, guys, are you coming tomorrow? - Tomorrow what? - Ray, tomorrow Elaine graduates as a new police officer and as veterans, it's our responsibility to be there and offer her our support.
- Here comes my replacement now.
- I'm gonna pass a bullet through my brain.
- Not that I object, but thanks forthe vote of confidence, bro.
- She was the best candidate, Ray.
- She's gonna be in this office every day? - He's intimidated by my presence.
- Very intimidated.
- I'm intimidated? - It would appear you're intimidated.
- This is just not gonna work out.
- It's already worked out.
Okay, so alphabetical order just means the alphabet.
- I'm doomed.
- I don't understand this, Ray.
I thought you liked Francesca.
- Are you from another planet, Fraser? - Well, not that I'm aware of.
- Of course I like her.
That's why I'm doomed.
I gotta work with her in the same office every day and pretend like she's my sister? - This makes no sense, Ray.
All women are our sisters.
- Someone here to see you.
- Hi, Kevin Spender, Deputy Director of Justice.
I understand you got a man here they're calling the Samaritan.
I'd like you to cut him loose.
- Look, just 'cause you're from Justice, Kevin, doesn't mean you can waltz in here and - I know this is your jurisdiction.
I'm not trying to step on any toes, but this man is a protected federal witness.
Any public exposure could risk his life.
I'd like to talk to him if I could.
- Dr.
Walnut, someone here to see you.
- Oh, I knew you'd come.
I knew it.
I knew it.
I knew it.
- What happened to you? - Accident.
- They have a right to their privacy.
- You know that.
- Yeah I'm sorry.
- This can't happen.
Whose dog is that? - Oh it's just a friend.
- I'm tired, Bruce.
- Yeah, you're tired, but you work hard.
You work hard, you work hard.
I'm sorry.
- Can you give the origami a rest? - It's not origami.
It's combinatorics.
- Okay, combinatorics.
[Diefenbaker whining.]
- Deputy Director Spender.
- Yes.
- Harding Welsh, Lieutenant, Chicago P.
D.
What do we got here? - A protected federal witness.
You got a camera crew back there.
Please get rid of them.
- Oh, it'd be my pleasure.
Can I ask you why a deputy directorfrom Justice is so interested in a stoolie? - Yeah, you can ask me.
He's my brother.
- Hey - Hey, look, Fraser, Ray, you guys hit the big time.
- Oh, my God.
[TV.]
: Minutes after a man risked his life to save a little boy, he was led away in handcuffs.
When the police officers who witnessed the good deed tracked the man - What are you doing? Come on! - Seven years, never had any problem.
Five minutes afteryou get him, he's on TV.
Why not just stick a target to his forehead? Two magic words: witness protection.
Why didn't he use them? - I told him not to.
- You call that a good idea? - You're out of line, Detective.
- Sir, might I ask a question? - Tell me how a Mountie fits in.
- My name is Constable Benton Fraser.
- He originally came to Chicago on the trail of his father's killer.
- And he's decided to stick around.
- Attached as liaison with the Canadian Consulate.
- What possible interest could a Canadian have in this? - Nothing official, sir, beyond an ongoing interest in universal justice.
I wondered what we might have planned by way - Well, for starters, we aren't planning anything it's my responsibility.
Some things never change.
I'd like to confer with Lieutenant Welsh.
I'd like to do that in private.
- Understood.
- Confer with you? What is that? What kind of talk is that? Confer with your own suit, you federal jackass.
That guy sucks.
- Well, you know, Ray, he's probably got reasons for privacy.
We were the cause of the problem.
- Maybe we made a mistake, maybe we didn't, but I hate when someone tells me to go to my room when I'm in the middle of something.
- Ray, I may not share your motivations, but this situation Thank you for helping us with this information.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
- Don't thank me, Fraser.
- Okay.
Okay, I can do this.
- I know.
Okay, Bruce Spender.
Here we go, Spender, Bruce.
Died October 8th, 1992.
No next of kin.
No services.
Body burned beyond recognition.
- U.
S.
marshals faked his death.
Is that standard procedure? - No, this guy got the deluxe package.
Who'd he rat on? - Uh It was a robbery.
Armoured car, four were arrested.
Spenderturned state's evidence on the otherthree, Dustin Mahoney, Michael Johnson and Elliot Wells.
- Do we have any information on them? - Hard copy? - Please.
- Okay, okay, I can do this.
Okay.
Hard copy.
Yeah, okay, I know, I know.
Okay, I told you I can do this.
- You are a natural.
- Thank you, Fraser.
- That's Mahoney.
Suspected in numerous armed robberies.
This was his only conviction.
Released a year ago for good behaviour.
They think maybe he killed another con when he was in prison.
- And that's good behaviour? - Well, it's all relative.
I mean, if the con was Jeffrey Dahmer - Michael Johnson escaped from Leavenworth three years after he went in.
A suspect in a gun-store robbery four months ago.
- Great, so two out of two are on the street.
- Make that three forthree.
Elliot Wells, paroled six months ago on the robbery, arrested a couple of weeks ago for holding up a gas station, jumped bail.
He's on the loose.
- Well, that's great.
Three guys on the street, motive, method This boy's in a deep hole.
- Yes, he is.
My brother's safety is my first priority.
I want him out of the state by sundown.
- Is that really necessary, sir? This is a police station.
One would think we'd be able - No slight intended, Constable, but police stations are like a sieve and these boys are resourceful.
I'd like some of your men to assist me.
- What does that mean, assist you? - Means exactly what he says.
I want you to give Deputy Director Spender all the assistance he needs.
- Do you have a secure phone? - Yeah, right this way.
- "Have you got a secure phone?" I don't like Kevin.
- I don't like him either.
I mean, it's never really been my personal ambition to make friends with stuffed-shirt, uptight kind of people, you know.
If that's the usual trade that you have around here [knocking.]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You all right? - Oh, yeah, I'm okay I'm fine.
- Nice to see your brother? - Yeah, long time.
- Bruce, Bruce, gotta get moving.
- Hm.
- Huey? [radio.]
: Looks good.
- Team One, go.
- Check 'em.
- Team Two, go.
- Ready? - Got anything yet? [radio.]
: Operation is secure.
- So far, so good.
[radio.]
: All clear.
- How we doing, guys? - West entrance clear.
[radio.]
: North entrance clear.
- Give 'em the signal.
- Send the dummy cars out.
Wait to see if anyone follows.
Keep all the entrances tight.
Afterthose cars leave, no one gets in or out, okay? - Perimeter's clear.
Operation's a go.
- All right, let's make the transfer.
- My men are covering the entrances.
- That's where they should be.
- There's no cover here.
- We won't need it.
Let's just do it, okay? - Send up the transfer car.
[radio.]
: Transfer car on its way.
- I'm, uh I'm kind of scared, Kev.
- That's okay.
Me too.
You ready? - Yup.
- Let's go.
- Who'd you call? - Airport.
Let 'em know we're on the way.
Not that you need to know.
- Let's get it on.
- It's all right.
Get in the back seat.
- Down! Go! Go! Go! [gunshots.]
Everybody, ground zero! Sniper! Now! - Where the hell are they? - One of those six buildings overthere.
Just get him the hell out of here.
- Too risky! - Like this isn't.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, come on! - Backups are on the way.
- Kevin! Get in, Kevin! - When forensics gets something, they'll send it.
- You'll give this the blue-ribbon treatment? - You got it top to bottom.
- As for Vecchio, I want him brought up on charges.
- And what charge would that be? Saving your brother's life? - Kidnapping, for a start.
See what else shakes out.
- That's ridiculous.
- You think I'm ridiculous? Let me tell you what I think.
I think someone in your department set my brother up.
- Impossible.
I know this department.
They're all good men.
- Who haven't even bothered checking in.
- Don't worry, they'll check in.
- Let me make myself perfectly clear, Lieutenant.
The only reason I haven't brought in Justice and the Bureau is because I have respect foryou.
But this is personal.
This is my brother.
I'll go to the mat for him like you would foryours full bore.
Do we understand each other? - Yeah, I think we do.
- How many assailants were there? - Hard to tell.
I mean, there were shooters everywhere.
You know what that's like.
You hunker.
- And they were disguised? - Yeah, in disguises.
But by size and build, I figure one of them to be Johnson, the other one to be Mahoney.
I mean, these guys were good.
They had us pegged.
They were right inside us.
I mean, they must want him bad.
- Hmm.
- Does that figure to you, Fraser? - Does what figure to me? - That he masterminded the heist.
Because when I look at him, what does not come to mind is arch criminal.
I mean, the guy can barely tie his shoes.
- The bank had three entrances.
Doors were controlled after business hours by a central computer on relay.
That bypass was easy.
The vault codes were logged in sequence through two networks.
It took me months to sort through the algorithms, but once I found the key, it was just a matter of refining the sequence and bypassing the time clocks.
Everything was planned with precision and detail.
The operation was undertaken and completed in precisely 27 minutes and 13 seconds.
And I can tie my shoes.
[knocking.]
- Hi, Frase.
- Francesca.
- Were you followed? - I don't know.
People follow me all the time.
I have an allure.
- That's not what I asked.
I'm asking along the lines of police work.
- You mean like criminals? No, nobody followed me.
Okay, so I have the background files and a report that came in from Dallas.
A guy named John Michaels was picked up for knocking flat a convenience store.
- Knocking over.
- Over, flat, down, sideways God! Anyway, they ran his prints, and John Michaels is Michael Johnson.
- So that makes Elliot Wells and Dustin Mahoney the shooters.
- That would seem likely.
Bruce, I'm curious: Your plan was very meticulous, wasn't it? - Yes, it was a very good plan.
Very graceful, very good plan.
- Until someone told where you were.
- But I didn't tell.
I didn't tell.
- You testified against them.
- Yes, I testified, but I didn't tell.
- Now they want to kill you.
- Something's queer.
- What? - I don't know.
Something's queer.
Let let's just move him.
I could do that.
I choose not to.
What is it? - Two men just entered the building.
- Well, they didn't follow me.
- Well, that may be true, but one of them just put a 32-round clip into a machine pistol.
Mach-10, if I'm hearing the mechanism correctly.
Back stairs.
- Go, go, go.
More? - I can't tell about their weaponry.
Move.
- Okay, so maybe I was followed, but if people are running around sneaking and hiding, how the hell am I supposed to hearthem? - Afteryou.
- Yeah, you wish.
- Okay.
[ringing.]
- Hello.
Fraser, is that you? Are you all right? - Yes, thank you, Elaine.
- What's going on? - Did you find out any more about the bank robbers? - I ran a search on all Spender's accomplices.
A guy got killed in Denver last month with Mahoney's alias.
I had the Denver P.
D.
compare his prints to Mahoney's.
They matched.
- Mahoney's dead.
- That just leaves Wells.
- I got nothing on Wells.
I could go back to the station, keep digging.
- No, Elaine, you've got your graduation in the morning.
- I'm all set uniform fits.
I'm gonna go back in.
I'll call if I come up with anything.
And, Fraser, just so you know, Welsh was in his office, waiting forthe phone to ring when I left.
- Understood.
- Three hours, not a word.
Is that how things usually work in this department, Lieutenant? - Not ordinarily.
They've gotta have a reason.
- Well, I can't wait around to hear it.
I'm moving now.
- I got Fraser on line 1.
- Where the hell are you, Constable? - We're all right, sir, forthe moment.
- Well, you pick a location.
We'll meet.
- I'm not entirely sure that's safe, Lieutenant.
- I'm not entirely sure what you're doing is better.
- You may be right, sir, but in a situation like this, the fewer people that know, the better.
- This is Deputy Director Spender, Constable.
I appreciate your efforts, and I believe you think you're doing the right thing, but I want my brother now.
If you keep getting in my way, I'll hit you with obstruction charges so hard it'll kill your entire family! [dial tone.]
- Oh, great move, Spender.
What do we do now? - Kevin's mad? - Mm-hm.
- He's just worried, though.
He's worried about me.
- We'll see him soon.
- So? - They want to talk.
- Yeah, I bet they do.
Look, I don't like this.
Where's this safe house you got in mind? - Yeah, what are the sleeping arrangements, Frase? - Fairly rudimentary.
The place I'm considering has no heat.
- Oh, so I guess I'll have to curl up to something really warm then, won't I? - And you're going to get it, Frannie.
It's a little place called home.
- Ooh, nice place.
- It was Constable Turnbull's, but he decided he didn't need anything quite so fancy.
- Oh, so where's he live now? Cardboard box? - Uh-huh.
Very nice one, though.
I see you've had some experience with bedrolls.
- Yeah, I was a Scout.
- Really? So was I.
Mind you, ourtroop was very small.
There was just me, my friend Innussiq and his sister, June.
- A girl? A girl was in Boy Scouts? - I know.
But you know, you can't really have a troop with only two boys, and she had short hair, so - I got short hair.
- Well, we're lucky.
We have a troop.
- Will I have to go to jail? - No, no, you got some big guns on your side a D.
D.
from Justice Department.
That carries a lot of weight.
- Yeah, I know, I know.
Kevin's always been there.
- Yeah, he has, hasn't he? Right from the beginning.
- Yup, right from the beginning.
- Well, troop, it's time to tuck in.
- Come on, Fraser, we don't really have to sleep on the floor? - Yes.
- I do this, I want a tuck-in-on- the-floor, l-hurt-my-back badge.
- I'll get you one.
- Okay.
- Ah-khe-lah, we'll do our best, we'll dib, dib, dib - We'll dob, dob, dob.
[phone ringing.]
- Ah! Uh! [struggling.]
[phone ringing.]
Hey! Hey! Hey! Got it! [panting.]
Yeah? - Good morning, Ray.
- Yeah, if you say so.
Right.
On my way.
Motel clerk recognized the mug shot of Elliot Wells.
- Excellent.
- Ah, ah! You better watch him.
I'll give you a call when we wrap up.
- Don't move! Drop the gun, drop it! - I don't even know this guy.
- Get acquainted on the way downtown.
- Hey, check out the big brain on Elliot.
Come on, just move it.
Come on, come on.
- Put your clothes on.
- Maybe.
- In the end, Innussiq and I both earned our cooking badge, but June, she never did.
That poor girl, she couldn't boil a pot of water if the future of western civilization depended on it.
[phone ringing.]
Hello, this is Detective Vecchio's cellulartelephone, Constable Benton Fraser answering.
[Vecchio.]
: Hello is enough, Fraser.
- Right.
- We got him, but he's not the shooter.
Spent the night with a hooker.
And that call I told you about, Elaine checked with the airport guys.
Never heard anything.
- So that confirms it, then.
- Yeah.
- All right, thank you, Ray.
- Yeah.
- Everything okay? - Yeah.
So tell me was Kevin a Scout also? - Oh, no, no, not Kevin, no.
He was always looking afterthings, though.
And he looked after me, he did.
You know, even when things got ugly, he looked after me.
He did.
- And did things get ugly? - Yeah.
We'd move.
We moved around.
There were people sometimes who were ugly, yeah.
And I I I don't mean here.
I mean here.
And, uh, sometimes Well, one time One time I Oh, God, I miss Kevin.
- One time what, Bruce? - We just moved.
New place, new town, new everything.
We were in a gang, boys in a gang.
And, uh, they didn't like me, but Kevin knew it.
And the leader of the gang, his brother always wanted a boomerang, hmm? Can you imagine that? - Yeah, I can.
I always wanted a bolo.
- Yeah.
Yeah, same thing, same thing, yeah.
So one day, Kevin found a boomerang found it in a closet, and he gave it to me so the other guys would like me, a beautiful boomerang.
But the leader's brother wanted it, so we had to fight for it.
- You had to fight because that was the code of the gang? - Yeah.
Kevin didn't like it, didn't like it at all.
But I had to stand on my own two feet.
I had to.
But I couldn't.
And I disappointed him.
I did, because I got hit.
I got hit a lot, and I lost.
And I lost it.
I lost my boomerang Kevin gave me.
- Did you say he found it in a closet? - Yeah.
Benchley boomerang.
Found it, found it in a closet.
- It was made of wood? - Yeah, beautiful, beautiful wood.
- Did it look sort of like this? - Sort of.
- More like this then? - Just like that, yeah.
- Bruce, I think that Kevin has been lying to you.
And I think he's very worried that someone might tell.
- Might tell what? - That the robbery was his idea.
- No, it was mine, it was my plan.
- It was your plan, but it was his idea, wasn't it? - Kevin would never hurt me.
God, he would never hurt me.
- How do you know? - I can ask him.
- I think you should.
[phone dialling.]
[ringing.]
- I understand you have some questions? - No.
No, Kevin.
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
- So hit me.
- Yeah.
Yeah, that's the question.
You rememberthe boomerang? - The what? - The boomerang.
You rememberthe boomerang? - What about it? - Was it a boomerang? - What are you asking? - Was it a boomerang? - Bruce In six days, I stand before the Senate.
The Senate of the United States of America.
- It wasn't a boomerang? - I am talking about a directorship! You understand? - They're going to ask about me? They'll ask about me and then, a-a-and you won't know what to say? - I can't carry you anymore.
- You could s-say that you're my brother, that you love me.
You could say that, you could just say that you love me.
- They'll find out about the robbery.
You'll tell them.
You can't help it.
And I will lose everything that I have worked for.
I can't let that happen to us.
I do love you.
Just get in the car and we'll work it out.

They have some questions about Kevin.
Afterthat, he's free to go wherever he chooses.
- Will you excuse us? Where are you going to go? - I don't know.
- You don't want to stay in Chicago? - No.
No, I don't think so.
- I understand.
- But you know, maybe when I'm in Chicago, I could, uh come and play with your dog some time.

Any time.
