Due South (1994–1999): Season 2, Episode 3 - The Witness - full transcript

Good luck.

You're late.

Yes, uh, there was a
delay at the dry cleaners.

I thought true blue types like you
didn't believe in excuses, Fraser.

Well, you're quite right and
I'm sorry for apologizing.

If I'd only noticed the smoke earlier I ...

Smoke?

Yes. Apparently, the pressing
machine short circuited.

Now by the time I got the cashiers out,
racks A through E were already in flames

and I was only able to save this.

I'm afraid it's a little singed.



You ran into a burning building
to save a mohair sweater?

Yes, sir.

Pardon me if that sounds
like pure stupidity.

Yes, sir.

You don't agree?
No, sir.

Stupidity would have been if I ran
back in for your leather chaps.

Dismissed.

That's what you said yesterday.

Well, it may take a few days,

you're a civil servant,
there's formalities.

I have to get confirmation from Ottawa.

Or you can make it easy on
me and request a transfer.

Yes, I suppose I could.
Think about it.

Yes, sir, I will.



Dismissed.

Don't you need your glasses, sir?

I don't wear glasses.

Understood.

Transfer request.
Huh.

I understand the leaves
are changing in Kamloops.

You're the arresting
officer, [is that] correct?

That's correct.

Detective, what time did you receive
the call to go to the scene.

I got the call around 9:15 and I arrived
approximately five minutes later.

Please tell us what happen from the time
you arrived outside the liquor store.

When I arrived, the crime scene
had already been established.

Uniformed officers had taped off the
area and the medical examiner...

was in the process of removing
the store owners body.

Were there signs of a struggle?
No.

You thought about it yet son?
It's only been an hour.

Well, you ought to you know.
Dad.

Were there any witnesses on the scene?

Yes. An eye witness came forward.
Mrs. Rosanna Torres.

I questioned the witness and
based on her description...

was able to put together a
line-up of probable suspects.

Was she able to make an identification?
Yes. She identified the accused.

Can you identify him please?
Mr. Robert Kruger.

After Mr. Kruger was identified,
you applied for a search warrant?

I did and we found a nine
millimeter hand gun recently fired.

Which perfectly matched the
bullet that killed Mr. Garcia.

This ballistics report is
states exhibit 23, your honor.

What happen next, Detective?

I arrested Mr. Kruger on charges of
armed robbery and first-degree murder.

Thank you. That's all.

You may leave the witness
stand Detective Vecchio.

I'd like to call Rosanna
Torres, your honor.

Rosanna Torres to the stand.

[about Louise] She wants me bad.
I think she wants to kill you.

Hmm, that too.

Mrs. Torres, on the night of June 14, 1994,

you were walking along Center
Street when you heard gun shots.

Should we wait and listen to her testimony?

No, no, no, no, no. It's all over
now except for the shouting.

What shouting?

You describe to us what
you saw when you turned...

and looked toward the
sound of the gun fire.

No.

You did not see the defendant exit as...
Objection. Leading.

Sustained.

What did you see?
Nothing.
Nothing?

What about your sworn statement
to Detective Vecchio?

It was dark. I'm sorry.

What about your statement?
It was a mistake.

A mistake?
I tried to tell you... but he ...

Okay, what the hell is going on here?

Your honor, I more for a dismissal.

Both of you, in my chambers. Now.

Great, just great.

Urban proof. Admissibility. Relevance.
Armed robbery. Murder. Criminal intent.

Perjury.
Perjury?

Not to mention a blatant disregard of my
clients 5th and 7th amendment rights.

If you don't rule of this immediately
[then] I'll file charges of misconduct...

faster than you can say
Subordination of a witness.

Save your grandstanding for the
paying customers, Mr. Sidarez.

Will you rule on my motion
to suppress the gun?

Judge?

No witness, no warrant.

No warrant, no gun. No gun, no case.
It's all fruit of the poisoned tree.

Miss St. Laurent?

Judge, Detective Vecchio is an experienced
officer with a commendable record.

Of manufacturing evidence.
Bull!

I caution you Detective you
are still under the courts...

jurisdiction during this proceeding.

What about your witness.

She just swore under oath
that she didn't see him.

Oh, yeah and I have a signed deposition...

in my hand that says she did.

Your honor, Detective Vecchio
has a history with my client.

That's irrelevant, your honor.

Here in chambers nothing is irrelevant.

It's Clearly persecution.
Oh please, give me a break.

Okay, let me get this straight. Detective
Vecchio, you and Kruger have a history?

Uh yes, your honor. I arrested Mr.
Kruger on similar charges two years ago.

My client walked on that your honor.
It was a case made...

entirely in Detective Vecchio's head.
Not unlike this one apparently.

You never got over that one, did you?

He beat an old woman in a smoke shop
and got off on a procedural fowl up.

And you've been on him ever since!

Oh, maybe that's an overreaction...

to the fact that he keeps
committing crimes?

What we have here is a woman who says you
coerced her into giving false testimony.

She's lying and maybe
somebody should find out why.

You will have no further contact
with the witness, understood?

Your honor, I would like
to request a postponement...

while the state revisits
elements of the case.

I'll consider it Miss St. Laurent.

In the meantime, this is what I
want.

A report on the lighting
conditions outside the victims...

store that
evening as it pertains to visibility.

I want Mr. Kruger's previous arrest report

and most of all, I want your case
notes on both incidents, Detective.

Your honor, I'm not sure ...
You do keep personal notes on your cases?

Well, I do but don't ...

Get 'em. You've got until
three o'clock this afternoon.

The witness says I coerced her.

Will your case notes prove
you're telling the truth?

No! If I don't produce
them it'll look like...

I'm lying, Kruger walks and I'm toast.

Ah. Miss St. Laurent.
Oh God, the other one.

Old habits die hard, eh, Vecchio?

Louise, did I neglect to tell you,

how fine in a prosecutable way
you look in that suit?

Do your friend a favor, Fraser,

convince him to find those
case notes.

I don't give second chances.

She's just playing hard to get.
The stairs.

Don't you think?
Think what?

That's she's playing hard to get.
To get what?

Oh, never mind.

Unofficial case notes and
why do we keep them?

Stupidity?
Carelessness?

Any Ideas Vecchio?

They're personal notes, sir.

We don't actually expect
anybody to produce them.

Oh no, never do.

You just got things down on matchbooks

and napkins. We don't use the proper forms.

And then we're surprised when a lawyer...

accuses us of withholding things that
shouldn't have existed in the first place.

Every cop in the station
keeps a notebook, sir.

Yeah, but every cop doesn't
hang on to them in the hopes...

that someday they might incriminate them.

What is his involvement in this?
Ah, certainly unofficial, sir.

Why do I not find that reassuring?

Well, he can't help that...

it's a Canadian thing, sir. I dig it
he gets extra points for neatness.

It's a quality I admire.

Still, knowing the States
Attorney's past fondness...

for Big Red.

I would have thought you'd go to great
pains to keep both of them far apart.

The handling of this case is uh,
reaching new heights of futility.

Well, no more discouraged then myself, sir.

Hey, sorry to hear about your troubles man.

Oh, Thanks for your feigned concern.

States Attorney called. They want photos...

of the lighting set up on the
street by the liquor store.

Well, do as the States Attorney asks.
Yes, sir.

And Gardino. Loose the goatee.

You check the case?

No. We won't be needing that.

County Records.
Elaine did you send my ...

Thank God you called Vecchio...

because otherwise I might be
enjoying myself right now.

Let's define our terms here. Does Day Off

Does that mean anything to you?

Towel.

One day out of two weeks I ask for...

a little peace, a little relaxation,
a little personal nurturing.

Elaine you have no life, stop whining.

Conditioner.

Kruger, Robert D. Arrested
June ninety-four.

Armed robbery, murder one.

No pretrial went straight
to the grand jury.

No idea. Take me home.

Elaine.
I hate County records.

I hate it. I hate it. I hate it!

Elaine. A man died in that hold up.

Kruger killed him, but nobodies
going to care about that...

if they think the cop who
charged him is dirty, okay?

I need your help, okay?

Okay.

And besides, Fast Eddie's on security.

He likes you.

What?
Hot brush?

You know the case number you're after?

Uh, yeah, that's the reason we
come down to County Records.

So, you want something here? And
you want it fast? You come to me.

That's why they call me Fast Eddie.

That and other reasons.

Of course, it's not strictly
in alphabetical order,

but I could help you with that.

So?

No street lights. Not within two blocks.
No neon. Not even a bill board.

Shoulda told us about it, man.

Hey, look the light was
coming from somewhere...

alright? If I could
see it, so could she.

Look, don't get piss with us Vecchio.

You're not straight with
us, we can't back you up.

Yeah, thanks for your vote of confidence.
Vecchio.

On the matter of visibility, I have
photos here that indicate it's highly...

unlikely that the witness would have
been able to see anyone on exiting...

...the liquor store.
She came to me voluntarily.

She said she could I.D. the
guy who shot the store owner.

Voluntarily.

And you didn't think at the
time to ask her how she...

could possibly make an identification
under those conditions?

She I.D.-ed a guy I know to a tee.

A known felon. I picked him
up, she picked him out of...

the line up and no we did not
discuss the damned lighting.

I assume your case notes will support that.

Do you have them?

Uh, no. I just need a little more ...

Your honor, I move for a
dismissal and I want...

charges brought against this officer
for harassment and perjury.

This is not about case notes.

This is about some piece of garbage
with a good mouth piece...

Vecchio!

trying to make a good cop
look like a bad guy...

so his client can go
free on a murder charge.

Detective, I instructed you to have
those case books in my office by...

three o'clock. You're in
defiance of a court order.

I'm not in defiance of anything.
I'm being railroaded here.

Come one your honor, don't
let some ass kissing...

defense lawyer's paper chase
give this guy a walk.

Ass kissing.
Careful Detective!

Look, if you let this scum back out
on the street he's gonna murder...

somebody else and I'm gonna
have to turn around...

...and arrest him all over again.
Stop.
Back off!

That's enough Detective you're in contempt.

You're damned right I'm in contempt. I'm
in contempt of this whole lousy process.

I'm in contempt of you, you and you.

Get the deputy in here.

I know there was lighting in that alley.
You're on your own.

This is a capital office you can't throw it out a ...
The car's parked out front.

...procedural matter.

Nothing happens until he
is prepared to apologize.

See you back in court in 48 hours.

Mrs. Torres.

You know he would not fabricate evidence.

That is the least of what I know about him.

If I can find a way to tie you into this,

it would make my year.

Hey, Vecchio!

Looks like we're gonna be
neighbors for a while.

First time arresting a cop?

So, we're off then.

Do you mind! That is private.

I don't know about you but I
could use a change of scenery.

What possible difference could
scenery make in your condition?

Well, I always liked a good view.

What? Barren rocks and snow?

You used to climb them.
I still do.

Well, let's choose one then.

Dad, I don't have time for this.
I'm in the middle of a case.

Oh. Lord Nelson.

Your mother and I had a cabin.

One bedroom with stove and all
the coal she could carry,

and 360-degree view of the strip mines.
Sounds attractive.

Three months and your mother
was a raving lunatic.

Then we moved on to Nelson
Port, Nelson House.

The names alone drove her around the bend.

We finally ended up in Rat River

Oh, I have fond memories of the Rat.
Your mother didn't.

I can imagine.

Gotta look ahead son, not back.

I haven't left yet.

You will.

Open C-203.

Cook County Department
of Corrections (CCDOC)

We're at the stairs right now.

C-215.

You got a lot of friends here, Ray.
Got a lot of friends everywhere.

Not like these friends. Word
spread about you joining us.

Hey, you trying to scare me?

C-218.

I'm just telling you the way it is.

Appreciate it.

C-254.

Your lieutenant called.

We're gonna do our best.
You know the drill.

I know the drill.

Dad? Good.

Oh, come on, it wasn't that bad.

Baby.

Hey! Spider-man!

You mind coming down from there, sir?
No, not at all.

Just stay off the walls on my beat.
Understood.

Thank you kindly.

Oh, stop complaining.

Sorry!

Sorry!

1680 West Banister, Apt 410.
Uh, thank you Louis.

St. L hears about this ...
I understand.

Ohhhhh dearrrr.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's my mistake.
Get out of here.

No. no...

It's entirely my fault. I'll just uh ...
Get lost...

Do you hear me, Fraser?
My lips are sealed, Louis.

Get out of here.

Vecchio, I'll be right with you.

Grab a mop.

Try and keep a low profile, alright?

This corner right here.

Ray, how are ya?

These lawyers. They bring
me to the courthouse.

They ask me the same
questions over and over.

For months I have been
answering these questions.

Do you have any hangers?
Basket.

I don't have time for this.

I have children. Work.

Have you tried telling them the truth?
Yes.

I don't trust those people.

In my country those people...

Can you, uh...

...was your husband at
the courthouse today?

No.

Oh, I'm sorry. I noticed your wedding ring.

My husband doesn't time
for questions either.

No, of course not.

So who was that man with you today?
What man?

The tall one with the long hair.

Don't know him.

He seemed to know you.

Where is your husband Mrs. Torres? There's
no men's clothing in this laundry.

Look, my husband is none of your business.

You're a religious woman, aren't you?

You wear a St. Sabastion medal.
Patron saint of prisoners.

The medal protects them.

Of course, in today's prisons a prisoner
wouldn't be allowed to wear such a medal.

But someone might wear it for him.

Look, I'm sorry about your
friend, but he's a policeman.

They take care of their own.

Do you know what perjury is?

There was a light in that street.

Three months ago it
hung from the building...

less than 20 feet away
from that liquor store.

A light may not be there now...

but there will be records and
there will be permits...

and when the lawyers get a hold of
it there will be more questions.

So, I will ask you again,

Do you know what perjury is?

I don't have time for this.

Torres, Edward H. Two Prior convictions.
Both for grand theft auto.

It's getting crowded up hear.

He was transferred from Joliet two
weeks ago, to face parole hearing.

Kruger. What you want to
bet they're bunk mates.

Well, perhaps we should
notify States Attorney.

Oh yeah, she's going to be thrilled...

you're talking to a witness.

And ten to one says she
thinks I put you up to it.

Well, maybe you could find Torres,

try to talk to him, offer him immunity.

In my position I can't offer him anything.

Besides how am I gonna get
to him from segregation?

Uh, it does seem our options
are somewhat limited.

And don't tell me, you fell?

I was mopping. Floor jumped up
and hit me right in the head.

You know you could try apologizing.

To who?

To the judge.
Not my stuff.

I'm not asking for your permission, sir...

nor should this be construed as
some kind of bid for absolution.

I simply felt that you
ought to be informed.

As a superior officer.

I mean I realize you're
not my superior officer,

we don't work for the same police force.

Or for the same country for that matter.

On the other hand it would appear
my own superior officer...

would prefer not to be
my superior officer...

therefore, under the circumstances it
didn't seem entirely inappropriate ...

Stop.

Yes, sir.

This has to do with
Vecchio, doesn't it?

That would be a safe
assumption, sir. Yes.

You've seen him?

Yes, sir and he claims to have
an altercation... with a floor.

Any particular type of floor?
Interlocking linoleum I believe.

Oh yeah, yeah, They can be very tricky.

Is there anything I can do to assist?
Well, nothing actually, sir. No.

Due to the nature of the situation
I would prefer to do...

this off the record and
on my own initiative.

I simply felt that I
ought to notify someone.

Force of habit I imagine.
I see.

And this new inspector, she's not
the type of person you could ...

Oh sir, she's not the type
of person you would ...

Let me put it this way.
We seem to lack repoire.

Any idea why?
Not in the slightest.

Women in authority.

It's a quandary.

It shouldn't be but it is.

Sir?

I mean you wanna treat 'em like the
rest of the guys, you wanna...

have them not off... in
strategic planning sessions,

You want them to have sweat rings...

and maybe a little too much
garlic on their breath.

But no. No. Not women.

Women smell good. And women look good.

And then they smile at you...

and before you know it you're smiling back.

And the first time they
tear a piece off you,

it's like somebody sticking an
ice pick through your heart.

Sir?

Uh...sir?

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Permission granted Constable.
Thank you, sir.

Hi.
Excuse me.
Yeah.

This is much better. Thank you.
Yes, sir.

You okay?

Yeah, sure.
Good.

You sure you wanna do this?
Quite sure.

Once we do it, there's no going back.

I understand.

After this no more favors, okay?

No, I'll never ask again.
Okay.

Nice and slow.
Hmmm hum.

Take your hands out. Grab the Milk
Duds and put them in your pocket.

Understood.

Perhaps I should pay for them first.
Then you wouldn't be stealing.

That's a good point.

Should you be watching?

He's right. We'll be over there.
Right.

What?

Yes, I realize this is setting a bad
example but it is necessary. Shh.

You'll give up the game.

What?
I can't.

I mean maybe if it
were less expensive ...

They're Milk Duds

It doesn't matter how much it costs.
If you're not gonna take 'em.

We're going to arrest you, you got it?

It's a good point.

Fraser, you can do this.

I can do this.

I can't. I can't. I can't do this.

OK, that's enough.

You're under arrest.
Oh, thank you kindly.

I have the right to
remain silent anything...

I say can and will be used
against me in a court of law ...

Oh, God.

Oh uh, I'll be fine. Thank you.

Good evening. Evening fellow prisoners.
My name is Fraser, B.

Number uh...1219

and you would be?

Ah! You would be 8356.
It's nice to meet you.

Good evening, sir.

Excuse me, I wonder if you
might be able to um ...

No, I don't imagine you could.

Ah! There's the ticket.

Good evening.

Ah. I suppose you are all wondering
what it is I am attempting to achieve.

Now the secret to perfect corners...

lies in the tuck. A firm
tuck from corner to corner.

Now if you could just grab that end please.

Good now, grasp the sheet tightly.

No, now you see that would
be far to firm a grasp.

Anyone else?

Good evening uh ... 2353: Would
you prefer the upper or um...

Lights out Floor 67!

I guess I'll just... well.

Nice.

What now?

Of course it's not the Rat.
But very few places are.

Go to sleep, dad.

And good night, son...

Swing low sweet chariot,

coming for to carry me home.

Swing low sweet chariot,

coming for to carry me home.

That's enough, dad.
Thank you.

Boy, oh, boy, I tell you I haven't
spent a night like that since...

Well, I guess since basic training.

Although, I did spend a
very restful evening...

once on an ice flow moving through
Northumberland Sound. Now picture this ...

Shut up!
Understood.

Ah! It that cinnamon?
Carbon.

Ah well, thank you kindly.

We're out.

Move on!

Gasp. Carl, Carl. Guard, guard, guard.

You know something. I'm feeling
kind of full this morning.

Would you be interested in...?

Hey Carl, you want mine?

Hey, come on Eddie, give him yours....

Afternoon gentlemen.

I happen to have a
complete 11 volume set...

of History of Civilization
by Will and Arial Durant.

Any takers?
Yeah, right here.
Ah!

Benny, what are you doing in here?
I'm delivering books, Ray.

I can see that. How did you get in here?

Well, the same way most people get in here.
Ray, I committed a crime.

You committed a crime? Benton
Fraser Royal Canadian...

Mounted Police committed an actual crime?

Ray, I know you think I'm incapable
of this but I'll have you know...

I am not entirely naive
to the ways of the world.

I've been arresting criminals
my entire life and it didn't

seem to be a particularly
large step to actually steal.

Steal?
Yes.

You stole something?
Yes.

What did you steal?

I'd rather not talk about it.

No, no. Come on. What
did you steal? A car?

No.

A television set?
No.

What?

Mmmm....Du....
Excuse me?

Milk Duds.

Milk Duds. What did the judge give you?
An hour and a half?

No, actually he was inclined to be lineate

but Detective's Huey and Gardino who
insisted that he throw the book at me.

Benny. You know you might get
yourself killed in here?

It's nonsense, Ray. Nobody knows who I am.

In my capacity as book monitor, I have free
passage throughout the entire institution.

Book monitor.

Yes.
What is that? Like a librarian?

It's similar. I monitor books. I
pass books out, I Pick books up,

I try to collect on over
due fines but I'll...

tell you something, it is
proving hellish in this place.

It's absolutely remarkable how many
people in here think nothing of...

...folding, spindling, mutilating ...
Benny!

What?!
Get to the point.

Right.

I found him.
Who?

Prisoner 3-2-0-5, Torres, Edgar,

Chronicle of a Death Foretold
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Optimist?
Apparently.

It is 12 days past due. I think
I should pay him a visit.

13:30 visitor?s hour in cell block 28.

Oh, I almost forgot. Here. This is for you

Recherche De La Temp
Perou by Marcell Proust.

It's uh, missing a couple
of pages but seeing the...

whole thing is basically
one long run on sentence,

I... I don't think you'll mind.

Is it funny?

Oh, it's hilarious. If you
like that kind of thing.

Alright, last chance for
the complete 11 volume set...

of Will and Arial Durant's
The Story of Civilization.

Going once...

going twice,

your loss gentlemen.

Mi amor, Que Paso?
It's nothing, It's nothing, it's alright.

A man came to see me.
Some kind of policeman.

What did you tell him?
Nothing.

Eddie please, don't get upset.

Rosanna.

He knew.

I didn't tell him anything. He just knew.

Then go home. Just go home.

It's until tomorrow... All you have
to do is stay out of trouble.

Go to Kruger. Talk to him. Maybe he ...
No! No!

If he hears talk of the police
he'll kill me. You want that?

Walden, Life in the Woods by Thoreau.
This is a thriller?

Not exactly, no. It out
lines one mans dream...

to live a life of
perfect fulfillment.

I had a dream like that once.
Really?

Yeah, I dreamed me and Jane
Fonda were on a couch naked.

I see. And was this couch in the woods?

Yeah, it just so
happens that it was.

Oh, well, then you
should enjoy this then.

Ah, excuse me.
Certainly.

Excuse me, sorry. Coming through.
Book mobile, coming through.

Excuse me, Book mobile.

Ah, Mr. Torres I believe
you have an overdue book.

Yeah? So what?

Well, another prisoner has requested it.

I believe you may know him.
He's a friend of mine.

No. I don't know him.

I'll spot for you.

He's a police officer.

This friend of mine. He arrested a man
named Kruger for killing a shop owner...

but at the trial, something went wrong.

His witness lied. And now my friends
in prison and Kruger will be set free.

I don't know your friend and I don't
know what the hell you're talking about.

You see the problem is, Mr.
Torres, that Kruger found out...

the witness has a husband in prison
and threatened to kill him...

and now that man is alone and
he has no one to protect him.

Your friend the cop should be the
one who should be worried, not me.

Yes, he should be, but he's not.

I promise you Mr. Torres, if
you help me, I will guarantee...

you safe passage to your parole
hearing without incident.

I don't want your help.

Well, you may have no choice.

But don't let me influence you.

You're very talkative Eddie.
Most like cops.

I didn't say nothing, man.
Sure.

Not a very good move.

See, I'm not prepared to
return to incarceration...

before I did that, it would hurt you.
Hurt your life. Hurt your kids.

Uh, excuse me Mr. Kruger. Excuse me,

I'm terribly sorry Mr. Kruger
but apparently your copy of...

"Do not call me sugar baby" is overdue.

Right. So, we're gonna protect him.
You and me...

surrounded by nine thousand
violent offenders.

For God's sake, Ray, don't blow
the situation out of proportion.

There's only (8973) eight thousand nine
hundred and seventy-three prisoners here.

And I thought our odds didn't look good.

Look Ray, it's only for one evening.

Tomorrow Torres will be free,
his wife will testify.

Look, a lot of people can
be killed in one evening...

If Kruger wants to get to Torres, he's
going to get to him, you can count on it.

Exactly! So, we make it easy for him.

Benny, you're not getting the hang of this.

Ray, the best place to hide
a person is in plain view.

Now Kruger knows that Torres is injured.

Knows he's in the infirmary. Fine.

Let's keep it that way.

All right, fine. So, what do we do?

Well, it could be a long night,
how about we take in a movie?

Something's wrong with the picture.
It's in black and white.

There's nothing wrong with
it Ray, it's just old.

Well, if it was any good,
it would be in color.

Well, it was made in black and white, Ray.
It's a classic.

"The Ten Commandments" is a classic, Benny.

"The Poseidon Adventure" is a classic.

"Saturday Night Fever"
with my man John Travolta...

that's a classic.
This is black and white.

Sh.

Perhaps you should have
ordered a personal guard.

Yeah and maybe you should have
gotten us a better movie.

Kruger was gone.

I need some gauze.

Well, Brothers and sisters, once again
we're gonna have a little entertainment.

And once again, brothers and sisters,
we're going to share our pleasure...

with some neighbors
less fortunate than ourselves.

Won't you please clear the first
three pews so they may have seats.

I'm gonna ask you once more,

neither by word, nor by action,
nor by look...

to make our guests feel unwelcome.
[Sullivan's Travels (1941)]

Where did you put 'em?

I smell bacon!

Any suggestions?
Nothing springs to mind.

Well, you better think
of something quickly.

All right

Stop right there.

I am a member of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police.

Come on Guys, you don't want to do this.
I think they do, Ray.

Alright, look and see if there's
a way out of here. A vent.

No vent.

Grate?
No grate.

How ?bout a drain?
We're too big, Ray.

Boys...

I been looking to do this myself.

I don't care for you. You
have to understand something.

This man? He has behaved
with decency and courtesy...

and you've been rude.

You've made them feel unwelcomed
and that's a shame...

cause for what lessens him lessens us all.

Do you understand?

Thank you kindly.

No. Thank you.

Wow. Hey! What book did you give him?

Thanks Elaine. I owe you one.

And you have my sincerest apologies.
My behavior was inexcusable...

even though I was right and the
accused was found guilty...

and I was completely exonerated.

But enough said.

Thank you, your honor.

Vecchio.

This does not end here.

I should hope not.

Yes, sir. I would like you to know that...

I've given very serious thought
to the matter of a transfer.

And?

While I find the prospect of
returning home appealing,

I would prefer not to leave at this time.

I've come to feel that I um ...

You feel that maybe in some small way
you have something to offer them.

Yes, sir.

Dismissed.

Yes, sir.
