“True North” · Season 9, Episode 9

In this episode: Abbie Carmichael (4), Jack McCoy (2)

BMBank Manager

I believe you're aware the Canadian government has instructed me not to comply with this subpoena.

That's nice. Are they going to send the Canadian army down here to help you carry your money and computers home?

MManager

I beg your pardon?

This bank is in New York county. [points] Those detectives are going to take it apart brick by brick to look for the documentation we've subpoenaed.

MManager

That doesn't make sense. The transfer you're interested in originated in Ontario.

These detectives are about to search every account file, every computer disk. It'll take a couple of weeks. You can close the bank down now.

We got Stephanie Harker's letter request to transfer $50,000 to Doris Nichols. It came by courier from Muskoka.

[surprised] They caved.

Morals are morals. Money is money.

Who are you going to shake down to get her car, the Royal Autoclub?

Your good friend Wendy told us that you'd been dumped before. Is that right?

SStephanie

It happens.

By a rich boy who treated you like trash. Your father owned a souvenir stand, right?

SStephanie

Yes.

Is that why the boy dumped you?

SStephanie

There is nothing wrong with the souvenir stand.

Then why were you so desperate to get out of there?

SStephanie

I had some bad memories.

Of being dumped because you were poor trash?

SStephanie

Look, I was an idiot! He wanted one thing: My body, and he got it!

You weren't gonna let that happen again, were you?

SStephanie

No!

From then on, you were going to be the one using people.

SStephanie

I don't use people!

How 'bout the used car king? How 'bout your husband?

SStephanie

I helped my husband in a lot of ways!

The chairman of a multi-million-dollar software company? How exactly does a drug-whacked daughter of a souvenir stand owner help him?!

SStephanie

There were plenty of things my husband didn't understand. Him and his friends. Jane Austen, like that matters.

He understood you, though, didn't he?

SStephanie

What do you mean?

He finally understood that you were just a hick town party girl who didn't belong here.

PPaulsen

Objection! He's harassing the witness.

JMJudge Manheim

Sustained. Watch it, Mr. McCoy.

SStephanie

I belong here as much as any of them!

Did he tell you he was shipping you out?!

SStephanie

Nobody ships me anywhere!

He'd be able to face his friends again, wouldn't he?

SStephanie

Bunch of snobs!

PPaulsen

Your honor, may we have a recess?

It's not being a snob if they're really better than you!

SStephanie

The women were jealous of me! The men all wanted to get me in bed!

And you were happy to oblige!

SStephanie

No! Not anymore! Nobody takes advantage of me anymore!

You were on your way back to that souvenir stand, weren't you?! Where you belong?

SStephanie

I am smarter than all of them! They had it handed to them! I had to work for it! They think I was trash! They don't know anything!!
