Due South

This neighborhood makes yours look like Astor Street.

Well, this was your recommendation, Ray.

Linc's the best bindlestitch guy in the world.

You got a problem with your footwear, you bring it to Linc.

I agree. These boots are as good as new.

It's probably the best $125 I ever parted with.

Yeah, that's something I'll never understand.

Why anybody would spend $125...

to fix up a stinky old pair of Mountie boots.

Oh, Ray, Ray, Ray.

Properly molded boots are a Mountie's prize possession.

Well, .. that and his horse.

Well, we're not picking up your horse.

I don't have a horse. I mean, not here.

Well, you know, you ought to think about getting one...

'cause I'm getting really tired of driving you around.

Ray, that was a gunshot.

Yeah. If we stop for every gunshot we hear...

in this neighborhood, we'll never get home.

See?

Agh!

I'm off duty!

You're off duty!

And unless somebody shot a moose, you have no jurisdiction!

- Argh! - Oh, pardon me.

Excuse me, young man, you're carrying a ....

- I'll get the shooter. - I'll get the shootee.

Hold on, hold on!

Give it up, man! I can run all day!

Don't make me take you down, man!

Who did this to you?

Nobody.

Hold that there.

Call 911!

Come on, give me your hand.

Oh, for God's sakes.

Help!

Sir, help.

Ah, is there a phone nearby?

Drop the weapon;

unless you can fly.

I hate this neighborhood.

Get your hands on your head.

Good work, Fraser.

Thank you kindly.

Thank you kindly?

Let's just hope my car is still there.

Ray, this was worth it.

We saved a life,

you made an arrest,

and the neighborhood is a safer place.

- Oh, dear. - What?

My boots are gone.

It's okay.

Due South S02E13 "White men can't jump to conclusions"

Ah, excuse me, I'm looking for a pair of boots...

...RCMP regulation issue, son.

I suppose you wouldn't be familiar with ...

They're just like the man on the horse is wearing,

only uh, mine are..mine are somewhat uh,

older and therefore more faded, Um ...

Well, no matter what you may think, I remain undeterred.

I am convinced that somebody took them in for safekeeping...

and they are spending as much time looking for me...

as I am spending looking for them.

Ah, excuse me, sir, the residents of this unit would appear...

to be home yet they're not answering the door.

Well, I ain't that a shock.

Were you home yesterday at the time of the incident?

Man, let me tell you something.

I didn't hear a thing.

Well, ... actually I-I'm looking for a pair of um, ...

Right!

Let's go!

Are you deaf?

I mean, I know you are literally deaf...

Oh, forget it.

All right, come on.

I'm not having any success, let's see how you do.

Dief: Whine.

Or would you rather go back to knocking on doors?

Dief: Whine!

Yes, I see what you mean.

These sneakers don't breathe quite the way my boots did.

Okay, pick up the scent.

That's it.

Good boy.

Good morning, gentlemen.

You hunting moose or something?

Ah, no. Boots actually.

You wouldn't have seen someone wandering around ...

Check it. I can give you $200 Nikes for $50.

Oh, now that offer sounds almost too good to be true but...

I'm really only interested in boots.

Thank you kindly.

Yeah, kindness man.

Diefenbaker, for God's sakes, you're tracking the wrong thing.

You're tracking my feet, not my boots.

I know my feet were there. My boots ... oh, forget it.

Yo!

Good morning.

Yeah, just get in the car.

- Well, actually I don't need a ride ... - Look,

Lou would like to talk to you, man.

Do I know Lou?

First you meet him, then you get to know him.

Get in.

Very well.

Hey, hey! No..no dogs in here, man.

He's a wolf.

Man can't walk down the street...

in this part of town without getting harassed.

You were running.

I didn't see no foot traffic speed limit.

You were carrying a gun and running from the shooting victim.

He say that?

- You know as well as I do he didn't say that. - Look,

I was carrying a gun so I wouldn't wind up a shooting victim.

Right.

- All right, baby. - Here we go, here we go.

- Take a shot. - Get that pick, baby.

- Here we go. - watch him.

- Oh, Stamp drives up the line. - Come on.

Oh, my God! A reverse lay-up!

Can anybody stop this teenage dynamo, Marv?

- Marve! - I don't think so, Dick.

Play the game, Reggie, not the crowd, man!

Where ya'll find him?

You see that?

Fine play.

Yeah, a hot dog.

He's a punk.

They'll be double-teaming him in 8 seconds.

- Are you their coach? - Huh.

Hey, these kids? They're our hope.

I watch out for 'em.

I provide the balls, a few burgers,

a place to stay if they need it.

People look at me as a corporate sponsor.

Check out the sweats I got 'em.

Very magnanimous of you.

Magnanimous?

Hey, I'm a magnanimous kind of guy.

Inside, Reggie! Look for the ball!

Over Here.

He's so dependent on his setup man. Hmph!

He's not here, he just freaks.

- Where is his setup man? - Hmph.

- You busted him. - Ah.

So who are you, what do you want?

Benton Fraser. I'm a Mountie.

Why do they call you that?

Well, it's short for Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

So, you're mounted.

No. uh, we mount horses, on occasion.

- Perhaps you're familiar with The Musical Ride ... - Then in all factuality,

aren't the horses.. the mountees, then?

No, you see, we are mounted on top of horses.

It's historical.

So, my peoples tell me you been...

snooping around where the shooting went down.

You looking for something?

As a matter of fact, yes. I'm looking for my boots.

We'll let you know if we find anything.

Thank you.... It's been a pleasure speaking with you.

Get it in to Reggie!

Reggie,

Purdue see that garbage, you gonna be sweeping up your pop's barbershop...

for a long time in your short stupid life!

Good news, Ray. He didn't do it.

No,

not this time.

No what this time?

Look, somebody shot someone, right?

Yes.

And I have a responsibility to catch that someone...

- ...that shot the other someone, right? - Yes.

And if I catch that someone, it's good news, right?

Yes.

Okay, now if that person turns out to be the wrong person,

does that mean that there was no shooting?

No.

Does that mean that no one was almost killed?

No.

Does that mean there's one less bad guy in the world?

No.

Right.

It just means that the real bad guy is...

still out there instead of locked up somewhere safe.

So by you coming in here...

and telling me that our guy is innocent, this is just not good news!

I-I'm sorry. I see what you're driving at and I stand corrected.

It is bad news.

He didn't do it.

Look, Fraser,

kids from that neighborhood, generally speaking,

end up doing one of two things.

Basketball or crime.

Tyree plays basketball.

Well, they all start out playing basketball...
