Due South (1994) s01e08 Episode Script

Last week on "Due South" Excuse me.
Oh.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Hello.
What, are you following me? I think they're too expensive.
What? Those earrings you were thinking about.
How would you know? Oh, well, I wouldn't, but I just noticed that those two girls decided not to buy them so I guess they thought they cost too much.
I'm not sure he would agree, though.
I have a feeling he's interested in them, because he's been watching those two girls very closely.
As a matter of fact, I think he's going to ask them.
Ask them what? If they're worth the price.
-I thought I had to make these decisions for myself.
-And so you do.
Will you excuse me? I saw something over there that Diefenbaker might like.
Excuse me, I'm looking for something unusual for my wolf.
Aren't you just I-I didn't think, um.
Too small? Oh dear.
-I'm really sorry! -It's all right.
I'll just quickly grab some of these things.
Let me help you.
Chrisoh dearum Will you excuse me? Uh, yeah.
Stop right there! No smoking in the store.
Goodnight, ladies.
Excuse me, you wouldn't have seen a.
Give it to me! -Leave me alone! Stop it! -Shut up! Excuse me, sir.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
-Okay, get up! -Stop it! Help! -Where the hell is it? Excuse me, please What have you done with it?! Chicago!! Thank you All I'm saying is, it makes me look like an idiot.
Here I am, looking all over town for Eddie Beets and the whole time you know where he is.
What's wrong with your head, Ray? There's nothing wrong with my head.
Just tell me about Beets.
He didn't say anything else to you on the elevator, he just took your purse? If he told me what he wanted, I would have given it to him.
I'm not stupid.
I can't find my key.
Did you see it in the car? -I'll get it for you, dearie.
-Well, thank you kindly, ma'am.
-You're sure this is the purse you had at the club? -Yes You didn't see anything that looked like a list? You know, something small, like a black book or a computer disk? I dumped everything out right there.
If it's not there, I don't have it.
You have one new message Hi Christina, it's Dad.
I guess you're asleep.
I knocked on your door before but you didn't answer.
Anyway, get your rest, we have a big event tomorrow night! I think the ambassador's son has really taken a shine to you.
Love you.
I don't suppose there was pockets in that dress that you Oh, I'm-I'm sorry.
Here Check it all you want.
There's no little black book, no list, nothing.
You know, I really wish everybody would stop making such a big deal about this.
Maybe he just has a thing for purses.
How am I supposed to know? Look, I don't know what's going on here.
I don't know if this Eddie guy did want something from me or if he didn't.
The point is he didn't get anything because I didn't have anything to give him.
He has no reason to come after me again.
Still.
Just to be safe.
Oh, Chicago! I've spent my whole life being safe.
For once in my life I want to do what I want to do.
And what I want to do right now is go to sleep.
This is really unfair.
You know, I could have been out on a date when you called.
-I do have a life you know.
-We appreciate you coming in, Elaine.
Did they photograph everyone we brought in? Booked and released.
I can't believe you actually charged those people.
-Gotta maintain the public morals, Elaine.
-You still think the club is the connection? Yeah.
Somehow Miss Muffet here got a hold of something Eddie wants.
The only place they could have crossed paths is at the club.
If Eddie was in there, I think someone would have noticed.
It's not him I'm looking for.
I'm looking for his sister.
I caught her snagging jewelry from his apartment.
If she was ripping him off then, she probably ripped him off before.
-Nice family.
-Yeah.
She also claims to be his housekeeper, but I have reason to doubt her credentials.
Not here The jaw was smaller.
Someone asked me out.
This man has been after me for months.
But I said no, I want to get my sleep.
Next time I'm going to say yes.
I mean, you can't keep someone waiting forever, now can you? Well, no.
That would be unfair You want to concentrate here, Elaine? Every sketch you do looks like Fraser in drag.
You know, Chicago, I am having such a great time.
You really should consider doing this tour thing professionally.
That's the woman from the bathroom.
That's her! Now all she needs is a name, and this little piggy does hard time.
Yeah, and if she's Eddie's sister, I'm starting to understand how he grew up to be a psychopath.
You know, I could be wrong, Ray, but I sense something very personal in your motivation.
Nothing personal, Fraser, she's just the kind of woman I'd like to see spend the rest of her life behind bars.
Do you have the time, Ray? No.
Weren't you wearing a watch earlier? No! So.
I jump onto a toboggan, sail down the escalator, and save the girl's life! Wow.
I never realized department store security could be so Let me fix this.
All right, we're back! This is a raid! Shut up, stop clapping, and get up against the bar! And this is for your own good.
Thank you for the loan Anything else you need, just ask Hello, nice to see you again.
Beautiful stitching.
How've you been? Okay, we need some information.
You're all grownups here.
You know how this works.
We can either do this the easy way or we can do it the hard way.
The hard way, do it the hard way! Shut up! Now, I don't want to drag everybody downtown.
I don't want to have to get rough.
Get rough! Get rough! -Will you stop that?! -Like to see him try that with me.
-I said shut up! -He's all talk and no action.
-Look, I'm not gonna warn you again.
-See? Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
-It's pathetic.
-All right, Miss Naugahyde, you and me outside.
-Touch me and I sue you blind.
Call your attorney.
I am an attorney.
Half the people here are attorneys.
I'm a dentist.
-Oh yeah, big surprise.
-Ray, Ray.
Could I have a word with you? I think if we were to be nice to these people, then they would cooperate.
Nice? You cannot be nice to these people! Are those real? Yeah.
Oh, this? Yeah.
So how much are they worth? What I mean, Ray, is if you treat people with respect, more often than not they'll respond accordingly.
You know, there's a certain point where you gotta stop calling yourself a cop.
-He's right, you know.
-What do you know? I know that people are people, no matter how much leather they wear -Oh please.
I'm gonna go throw up someplace.
-It's at least worth a try, isn't it? All right I am asking you for your help.
-Eat glass.
-All right, that's it! -Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray.
I'm talking to you, one human being to another You have a very high opinion of yourself Madame DeFarge, Detective Vecchio and I are on the trail of a particularly brutal killer and we'd be most appreciative of any assistance you could give us.
Make him say please.
-Ray - I'm not gonna say it.
-Ray -No -Ray -No! Ray Please.
-Pretty please.
- That's it! You know, he really is trying his very best All right.
All right, show me the photograph.
Janice DeLuca -Where does she live? -With her grandmother.
We appreciate your assistance and I would just like to thank ev You really have to stop doing this.
You know, I ran away once when I was your age.
-Tell me another one.
-No, I did.
In my case it was different.
I thought I'd done something that no one could forgive.
It didn't take long for my father to find me.
But you know, instead of lecturing me, he offered me some food and some money.
He said I could keep running if I wanted to but that I would always feel ashamed.
On the other hand, if I went back and faced the consequences, I would be a man and everyone would know it without me having to tell them.
So what happened? Oh, I took the money and ran No.
I went back, but it wasn't easy Of course, my situation was different from yours.
I was running away from my problems, not at all like you.
What were you running away from? Oh, it was a very tortured scenario.
It involved a gold mine, a boomerang and a tank full of gasoline.
It's all ancient history, though.
Eddie was booked three months ago, but the charges wouldn't stick.
Meantime he had someone come bail him out in the middle of the night.
-You want a name? -Janice DeLuca? Huh.
If you knew, why did you ask? What's in her jacket? -Uh, priors for possession and assault.
Hmmm, I bet you didn't know this.
-Try me.
She's Frank Colebri's girlfriend.
At least she was until he took a knife in the back last night And she bailed out Eddie in the middle of the night? Sounds very cozy Do you have an address, Elaine? Yeah.
3-6-7 North Winchester near Chicago Avenue.
Thank you kindly Well, maybe just for a coffee.
Oh, the candle went out.
I'll get it I love candles.
They're so hot It's not enough you take everything I own, you gotta break my heart, too! Eddie.
Listen, we can work this out, okay? The girl don't have it, Janice.
Which means you do! No, Eddie, I swear to God I put it in her purse.
In the bathroom.
Yeah.
You know what I think, honey? I think that I'm gonna enjoy this! Eddie! Stop it!! Well, it looks like the Three Little Bears got here before we did.
Stay here.
Stay by the door I said, don't move.
All right! How long can a fish live in that much water? He's still here Christina Oh my God.
You killed him! I what?! He's dead.
You killed him! Bye-bye Can you help me please? Please? Why don't you get your own tricks, honey? Need help, darling? Why don't you come with Thomas? No! Chicago I don't think you want to be out here on your own.
Okay? Why the hell would she run? She's afraid, Ray.
It doesn't make any sense.
Fear never does.
You don't have any Kleenex.
That's okay.
God, is he really dead? Yeah.
Look, Eddie was a real son-of-a-bitch.
He deserved worse Being his girlfriend, I know this.
Okay, look, you'll go to the cops Oh my God.
my father! You'll get a slick lawyer.
I'm sure he can get you manslaughter.
No, he was trying to kill me! It was self-defense! Did he have a knife out? Did he have a gun at your head? -No, but -Did he have any sort of weapon at all? No! Well, then, honey, y-you can't prove that he was going to do anything other than slap you around.
What are you talking about? Okay, you kill a guy because he's slapping you around, that's manslaughter.
Okay, look, why don't you call your dad? No, no, I can't! I can't.
Okay, okay, maybe it'll be okay How? One thing I know is the cops.
Now if you give them something, they'll give you something.
What do I have to give them? Frankie's list The matchbook.
You give them that, and I'll bet you they'll cut you a break.
Matchbook? This is all about some stupid matchbook?! No, kid, this is about power.
Whoever has that list can name their price.
Now listen, do you know where it is? I mean, do you know anything? Come on, do you remember? Kleenex.
There was a matchbook in the Kleenex when I dumped out my purse at the hotel.
-Well then we're okay! Come on.
-OK Taxi! Hey, how you doing, young lady? You having a good time? Heads up Oh no, not again.
Taxi! No way.
The nearest hotel.
Quickly.
You got a light? Jeez, I've got to cut down.
Here.
Thanks.
How do you know they're going to the hotel? Because that's where the list is.
We searched the entire room.
If it was at the club, Janice would have gone back for it.
Eddie was after the purse and Christina dumped the purse out in her hotel room.
It's the only place it could be.
It's not there.
Not now, but it was.
And if Eddie didn't take it, and Janice didn't take it, then somebody else must have taken it.
There's no one else.
We're all out of bad guys.
Tissues, Ray.
She had tissues in her purse.
She wiped her lipstick off with it when I walked her to her room.
Where were the tissues? We're hunting tissues now? Okay, I dumped my purse out right here.
It's not here.
Do you have any candles? How did you get these? Listen kid, I am losing my patience.
Now where is it?! You got one chance to live.
Come on! The housekeeper.
The housekeeper, she was cleaning my room! Okay.
Okay, come on.
-Hey! -What? - Where the hell does this go? -What?! -The trash, where does it go? -To the basement.
-Come on.
Move it! -Thanks for the candle.
-No trouble at all.
There's nothing here The housekeeper.
Hey, Fraser! Uh, where did they go? The basement? Do the public elevators go down there? -No, just this one.
-Ray No, we are eighteen floors up! Just hold your elbows out at the side; it'll slow your descent.
"My" descent?! Fraser, you cannot go down there without backup! Ah, the most annoying man in the world! I'm stuck!! -I can't find them.
-Well, just keep looking! You are under arrOh dear.
Pull it.
Pull it.
That's my foot!! Pull it.
Pull it! Ah Oh ho, jeez.
Thank you very much! Run! Where are the matches? I have no idea.
I don't want that answer, I want to know where they are.
Well, you're really talking to the wrong person.
Hear that, little girl? Your little red friend here is dead.
She doesn't know where they are, either.
Then I have no further use for you.
You can't hurt him! -Run.
-No.
-Come here.
- I said run.
-You told me to stop running.
Yes, but I was talking about running away from the problems with your father.
This is about running away from someone who quite probably will shoot you.
That's an entirely different thing.
I did this.
This is my problem and I'm not running.
You want to die, kid? You can't shoot her.
Watch me.
Oh no, that's a 9mm Baretta.
It carries a 15 round clip.
You've already shot 14 times.
Bull.
No, you have honestly.
Follow this through.
Six in the incinerator, seven in the corridors, one just All right, all right! What this basically means is you have one bullet left, and then you're defenseless.
Now I don't think you can afford to use it on her, so she's gonna walk away now.
No, I'm not! Have you ever said something that you truly regretted? I can't leave you here.
I'll trade you for him.
-Throw 'em over here.
-What am I, stupid?! I said throw 'em over here, kid, now! Oh, I don't think she likes being called kid.
All right, you let him walk away or I eat it.
What? Would you please run? Can't.
Too scared.
Choose! Throw 'em or I shoot! Fine, I'm eating it! You put that in your mouth and he's dead! Chicago? What do I do? Oh go ahead, eat it.
-Nice bluff.
-Thank you.
Bye-bye, Red.
Perfect tactical delay, Ray Yeah, Thank you very much, Fraser The list -Good night.
-Night.
-Goodnight, Ray.
- Goodnight, Benny Ma'am.
So where's my watch? -Goodnight, Chicago.
-Goodnight.
Oh you know, I-I never asked you.
Why do you call me Chicago? Oh well, there's somebody to baby-sit me in each city, and it's a lot easier than remembering names.
-Goodnight.
-Night.
Dief, no.
Dief.
Hi.
What am I, uh Terrific staff they got here.
Come on, we're gonna be late You don't expect me to go to the ball without an escort, do you? Well I'd love to, but I think if I showed up with you, your father would have me cashiered.
We've all got choices to make, Fraser.
Fraser? Coming? Go ahead.
You look You look just like your mother.
May I have the honor? Where'd you learn to dance like that? It's all part of the job.
It's completely unfair.
We make one mistake and we're on security detail.
Louis.
Did I tell you to open your big mouth? Did I tell you to swear on your honor the matches didn't exist? Well, at least I had a good suit You own that? What? You think they rent things like this? I think that I don't want to stand next to you.
Like the suit.
Thanks, ma'am.
The American ambassador's son has been waiting to dance with you all night.
I told him to bug off.
You had a boyfriend.
Oh well, it's okay.
I've actually been looking forward to dancing with him.
-Hey.
-Hey! So Welsh finally gives me the day off for solving the biggest case in my career and I'm delivering casual wear.
I'm confused, Ray.
I didn't call you.
Aw, put it on, I'm taking you out.
We're celebrating.
All right.
So everything worked out with Miss Muffet? Oh, I hope so.
She gonna run away again? Oh, probably.
But you know, sometimes if you stand still, the world comes to you.
Damn.
There he is.
I promised the Latvian Ambassador I'd spend sometime with him tonight.
Him? Nope.
It's just you and me tonight, kiddo.
No.
I mean, we could go out with them - uh, him.
No, I couldn't ask you to do that.
Ask me.
No, sweetie.
We haven't seen each other at all.
I haven't spent any time with you.
I want to be with you.
I wanna spend time with you.
Dad, I understand that sometimes I'm gonna need to do stuff like this, you know.
It's something I'm gonna accept.
That's okay.
I'll get the car.
