"Your cabin burned down last week." "Mm." "Well.I don't use it much anymore." "What's going on?" "Nothing." "I just thought I, uh," "I though I saw a woman I used to know." "It wasn't her." "Why?" "Oh, I guess I'm not really sure." "if I saw her, or I just wanted to see her, or maybe I saw her because she's the one person I can't face." "Why?" "She drove the get-away car." "You did your duty." "That's all you could have done." "She's the only woman I ever loved." "I put her in prison." " Where is she?" " What?" " The woman who was in this car.Where did she go?" " Get your hands off me!" "Did you not have a woman in this cab?" " Hi" " Hi" "It was you." "I thought I saw you standing in the middle of the road." " I wasn't sure if I was just seeing things..." " No, that-that was me." "I was, uh..." "I was standing, in the middle of the road." "I never thought I'd see you again." "How could you do that to me, huh?" "So where's the big red one?" "I think he got himself a mystery woman." "I'm afraid that all I have is, uh..." "You're a gentleman.Thank you,sir." "Three's a crowd, huh, Dief?" "What's tonight, Benny?" "sorry." "Like this makes a difference?" " So is she in there?" " Yeah." "I'm sorry, do you wanna-do you wanna meet her?" "Nah, don't do me any favors." "I wouldn't want to embarrass you, anyway." "Just two sets of prints, if you discount the, heh, paw marks." " Where are you going?" " Just let me go, please?" "I want to know what happened." "Jolly's out!" "They never found the money we stole." "Over half a million dollars." "So when I got out, I went to find it." "And you had no intention of giving it back." "It wasn't there..." "I just assumed that Jolly got there first." "He thinks I did." "And you told no one." "I'm not exactly a trusting person." "People tend to let me down." "Not this time." "I appreciate what you're doing." "Oh,My God!" "Wh-wh-what's going on?" "He's got your address." "Get out of the house and go someplace public.The zoo..." "I thought you wanted to see me." "Run!" "I should have known it was you." "Come to your senses, have you?" "A long time ago." "Victoria'S Secret Part 2" "Ê±¼äÖáÐ£¶Ô£º¿ËÀ­¿Ë´óÏÚ±ý@ÎÞÃû²ÝÌÃ" "Ah, they're still looking for a weapon and a witness." "Anybody see anything?" "Come on." "After Victoria left you, did you see where she went?" "No." "She'll probably try to contact you." "If she thinks Jolly's still after her." "I don't know." "Don't even ask." "You'll see it tomorrow." "Anything you can tell us will be a great help." " It's very important." " And personal." "There's a small stab wound to the abdomen." "And a single gunshot to the head." "Single entry point,single exit." "Close range, two feet at the most." " He walked right up to him." " Ah, he didn't walk anywhere." "Exit wound on the left?" "Who ever did this was sitting right there." "Got a bullet!" "She'll show up." "Thanks, Ray." "We have to get you an attorney." " They're going to charge you for this 'til we find out who did it." " What is wrong with you?" "I did it!" "I shot the son of a bitch!" "He was trying to kill me!" "If he didn't do it today, If he didn't do it today, he would have done it tomorrow." " All right, then-then we'll plead self-defense." " How?" "He was sitting there, I picked up the gun, and I shot him." "You had a very real fear for your life." "That's grounds for self-defense." "Now I'll go in, I'll talk to the State's Attorney, we'll pre-arrange bail..." "For murder?" "With my record?" "They haven't laid any charges yet." "If you go in now, you make a statement, I think you stand a chance." "I know a very good attorney." "We will..." "Oh." "I had a really good attorney last time, I still wound up with 10 years." "That was different." " Was it?" " Yes." "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?" "You can't run away from this." " Why not?" " Look, I promise you," "I will do everything, I mean *everything* in my power to help you." " You won't go away?" " Never." "I won't let you down." "Not this time." "Okay." "Have you even spoken to your client?" "Actually, I approached Ms. Boswell on her instructions." "And she's willing to make a full confession?" "Against my advice, yes." "Deal's open until midnight." "Thank you, Mr. Mustafi." "He knocked on the door." "She's not there." "Ah.." "She's probably on her way." "Yeah." " You told her you'd call?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "Maybe she got anxious." "She'll be here any minute." "We finally got a match on the second set of prints in your apartment." "Yeah, who, the corpse?" "No, the prints were yours, Detective." "Yours and Constable Fraser's." " No one else's?" " Sorry." " You want anything from the canteen?" " No, thanks." "Hi, son." "Where'd you find the new Stetson?" "She's not coming, son." "You don't know her." "Neither do you." "I'm in love with her." "Doesn't mean you know her." "Did you know Mum?" "I mean, did you know who she really was?" "Or did you know what you wanted her to be?" "I knew who she was in her soul." " That's what I loved." " Come on, Dad." "You weren't around long enough to call her by name." "You know, I've got almost no memory of the two of you together." "You were only six 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 day of my life!" "..." "I know." "I've read your journals." "You write beautifully." "No professional training, but..." "Do you want to know something?" "You never saw her!" "You never saw who-who she was." "You never saw her when she was angry." "you never saw her when she was frightened." "You never saw her when she was brave." "or when she was petty.You never saw her!" "She was a good woman." "She deserved better." "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 her." "But I know I need to be here." "And I know who she is." "Is it snowing out, son?" "What?" "Is it snowing out?" "No." "No, I don't suppose it would be.It's almost summer." "I don't know why I brought this coat." "There you are." "I just got off the phone with your consulate." " They said a Sergeant Meers has been trying to get a hold of you?" "He's called a dozen times." " Thank you." " Where's the 403 area code?" " The Yukon." "Yeah, thanks." "Detective Huey's desk." "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." "Don't you keep this trunk locked?" "Yes." "Vecchio..." "Uh, yeah..." "Yeah, I understand." "I'll be right in." "Did they find her?" "Internal Affairs wants to speak with me." " Vecchio, you want a cup of coffee?" " No, I'm good, thanks." "So, you and Fraser, you're pretty close, huh?" "Best buddies?" "Best buddies?" "Oh, yeah, we like to play stick ball together after work." "What the hell is this all about?" "Did he ever tell you why he came to Chicago?" "Yeah, he came for the pizza." "Now is this about him, or is it about me?" "Ah well, actually..." "How are you doing, Detective?" " What the hell is this all about, Lieutenant?" " Sorry, it's out of my jurisdiction..." " Yes it is, Lieu.So if you'll excuse us..." " Sure." " But Malner gets to stay." " Oh, and why is that exactly?" "David Malner, Police Protective League." "Did you call an attorney, Detective Vecchio?" " Yes." " Did I?" " Yes." " Do I need one?" "Yes." "I'm not following you." "We found it in a metal box buried under the floorboards in your father's cabin." "How much?" "Ten thousand 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." " I remember." " Constable." "I hate to have to do this, but we're going to have to ask you some questions in an official capacity." "I understand, sir." " Ben, you realize, of course, I'm going to have to share this information." " Yes, sir." "Staff Sergeant Meers, RMCP." "What kind of money?" "This kind." "Notice the serial numbers." "The money was never recovered from the robbery." "Suddenly it starts appearing a few days ago." "Only in Chicago, not Alaska." "A sharp teller noticed the mint condition pre-'85 twenties." "He checked the hot-list and called it in." "He notified some other banks in the area, and more started showing up." "Deposit records." "Small retailers, mostly, in the same neighborhood." " You live at 221 West Racine?" " Yes." "Rent a movie from Video Duo?" "I don't know those places." "You know "Ricky's Cleaners"?" "It's a block from your place." "Sheryl there told us you gave her this." "You usually pay for everything in cash?" "She must have slipped him the money without his knowledge!" "Oh yeah." "Beautiful women are always slipping me money." "Victoria Metcalf." "So you were alone together for a week after the robbery." "What did you talk about?" "Let's say he knows where half a million dollars is stashed, and let's say he knows the bad guys are going away for a long time." "You don't know this guy!" "Do you own a handgun, Constable Fraser?" "This guy comes back for his money, I'm not going to be left with a lot of choices!" " It's a standard RMCP issue." " That would make it a .38?" "Did he report it stolen?" "He said there was nothing missing." " He didn't shoot the guy!" " You saw the shooting?" "She ran because she was frightened!" "This is the same woman who spent 3 days in your apartment without leaving a print?" " Has anyone else seen this woman?" " There were a lot of people." " Can you name one?" " Yeah." "Me." "Do you mind if I look in your wallet?" "Is this her?" "Yes" "She's dead, Fraser." "Two months ago." "Automobile accident." " I'm sorry about this." " It's all right." "Numer 4." "Take your time." "Hey, the guy gave me a twenty for a piece of soap." "Thank you." "Mr. Dooley." "Take a careful look at these men." "If you have any doubts whatsoever..." "Numer 4." "So this is what it comes down to." "We're hanging by a thread, and Huey and Louie hold the scissors." "This is nonsense." "Two witnesses saw the woman at the zoo." "There is no woman." "She's dead." "Everybody involved in the robbery ends up dead, and Fraser ends up with the cash!" "Which he shares with his good friend, Ray." "Sir, I know that Vecchio's a real weasel and all, but he's a straight-up cop." "You don't seriously believe that, do you?" "Oh yeah." "Serious weasel." "We have ten thousand dollars in Fraser's cabin,a motive, an opportunity and a .38 that's conveniently missing." " I want an arrest." " And I want a murder weapon." "Lieutenant, you're allowing your personal feelings to interfere with..." "Your damn right I am!" "Suspend Vecchio and maybe he'll roll on him." " For a couple of twenties?" " We have possession, and possible conspiracy to commit murder." "This is not going to stand up in court, and you know it!" "Harding." "This is not your call." "Suspend him." "That's it." "And I thought this woman was gonna come between us." "Things aren't what they seem, Ray." "She set you up, Fraser." "She slipped you bad money and then scrubbed her prints from your apartment and she stole your gun." "Dief must have been trying to stop her." "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." "Third degree burns over 90% of the body." "I'm guessing they didn't use dental records for identification purposes?" "No need." "They had a positive ID by the sister." "The body was cremated." "Thank you." "She identified her own body." "That's pretty gutsy." "Vecchio." "Get in here." "Constable Fraser under arrest, sir?" "No, but tell him not to leave town." "Thanks for sticking up for him, sir." "Detective Vecchio,I have to ask you for your shield." "Sir?" "You're on suspension, effective immediately." "Anything else, sir?" "I'm sorry." "Let's go." "Weren't you supposed to ask for his weapon as well?" "Was I?" "Detective Huey get the picture of this deceased Metcalf woman and bring it out to all the shops where the money was passed." "Yes, sir." "Detective Gardino?" "Get the crime scene squad over to Vecchio's, dust it from top to bottom." "If she was there, I want prints, hair, nail clippings, anything." "You guys search the parking lot in the zoo for the murder weapon?" "Every inch." "Good." "I'll do it again." " No one of that name." " Take another look." "Sorry." "I dropped her off at the lobby." "She must've been waiting in the cab when I came back." "This woman really has it bad for you, doesn't she?" "Thank you." ""Closed Due To Death In The Family"" "Phone calls from my house." "Look at yesterday at 3 o'clock. 555-7333." "She called Jolly 20 minutes before we got there." "She didn't leave anything to chance." "You some kind of religious freak?" "Do you have the diamonds?" "128 Water Street." "You come all by your lonesome." "I'm not coming at all." "My partner'll handle the exchange." "Smart move." "Let your partner know, if anything goes wrong, there's no place to hide if we want to find him." "How's he doing?" "Much better,thank you." "You found the gun..." "Constable, I'm about to ask you if this is your weapon." "Before you answer, would you like to have a lawyer present?" "No, sir." "That is my weapon." "I'm sorry." "Detective Huey, would you read Constable Fraser his rights?" "Handcuff him and take him downtown." "Are the cuffs really necessary, sir?" "He's being charged with first degree murder." "Please handcuff him." "I'm sorry, Fraser." "It's your duty." "I put together your bail." "You should be out within the hour." "You can't do that, Ray." "It's too much." "The judge might consider you a flight risk, but I don't." "But you don't have that kind of money." "You'd have to mortgage your house." " Are you going to skip on me?" " No." "Then there's nothing to worry about." "I'll meet you out front." " You'll never see that money again." " Pop, I'm warning you." "Stay out of this." "I leave you my house." "This is what you do with it?" "Don't you have things to do in hell or wherever you are?" "Purgatory." "For my sins I've got to watch you make stupid mistakes." " And who gave you permission to use my pool table?" " Give it a rest, Pop." "Have you considered the offer, Detective?" "There's no need." "Answer's the same." "Your friend is going down, and you're this close to going down with him." "Let me tell you something." "You can go to hell." "And if you need directions, you can get 'em from the guy who's following me." "You sure you don't want to get something to eat?" "No, thanks anyway." "We will find her, you know." "You should take the deal." "I haven't been offered one." "You should take it anyway." "Hey Benny." "Not in your lifetime." "What are you doing?" "Go away." "She's not coming back to you." "And why in God's name would you want her to?" "Because..." "Because I... because I need..." "Oh God." "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." "You done with my power drill yet?" "No, I'm sorry." "I haven't had a chance..." "Th-th-that's okay." "There's a woman on my telephone for you." "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." "Hi." "You must really hate me for what I did." "Yeah." "Hate." "Love." "Those two emotions about cover it." "The girl in the car wreck was your sister." "She borrowed my car." "The police just assumed it was me." "I had an opportunity, I took it." "Fooled everybody." "Except Jolly." "Except Jolly." "There were only two ways to end that relationship." "One of them was with me dead." "What do you want, Victoria?" "You." "No, you don't." "Why do you think I did all of this?" "Revenge." "Maybe." "But I need you." "I want you to go away with me." " You know I can't do that..." " Why not?" "You don't have much to stick around here for." "And you won't like prison." "I'm sorry." "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 this locker has 25,000 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." "Ray!" "You know you never should have introduced me to your friends." "I'll do it." "I do love you, you know." "Where do I go?" "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." "Internal Affairs, please." ""Ray"" "A man just stole my purse!" "Can you help me, please?" "No, ma'am, I'm afraid I can't." "You think I'm a fool?" "No, I think you're a criminal." "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 high a value on your life, does she?" "Apparently not." "Keep one diamond." "Give the rest back to me." "No, I'm afraid I have to take them all." "You know what?" "I changed my mind." "You can't keep any." "Show me." "Show me!" "Very nice." "Now don't drop 'em." "They're gonna to come after us." "Not me, sweetie." "Put 'em in here." "You made the call, didn't you?" "No loose ends." "What about me?" "You're going with me." "Right?" "No." "No key." "Damn." "Put 'em in the bag." "Is that Ray's back-up gun?" "No loose ends." "Open the door." "Get out of the car." ""Train for New York, now departing." "Train for New York, now departing."" "Hi." "Is there a problem?" "No." "The back-up's coming." "She better be here." "She's here." "Here's your problem." "You got the wrong locker" "What?" "Easy to get confused." " Here's your bag, honey." " It's not my bag." " Sure it is." "It's your key." " It's not my bag!" " It's your bag because..." " It's not my bag!" "Put it down, put it down, put it down!" "You wait for them." "I'll go after her." "Get outta here!" "Pick 'em up." "I can't do that." "You son of a bitch, you set me up!" "I should have shot you!" "And I should have let you go." "Well, you're going to this time." "Sorry." "Make sure you tag these." "She's armed." "Then shoot me, because I'm getting on this train." "No?" "Okay." "Then come with me." "Come with me!" "You're gonna regret it if you don't." "Fraser!" "Come with me!" "She's got a gun!" "I should be with her." " What did he say?" " He said get me to a hospital." "I can't understand you." "He's reciting a poem." "[end]"
