You just did it again! You just did it again! It's like some kind of disease. Look, I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it! I don't understand, I don't want to hear it! Look - I swear - I swear to God I will punch you right in the face. Fair warning."

[Victoria lets him try to flirt, and she tilts her head a little to the side, to appear like she's taking interest -- even though it's hard to fake interest, given previous circumstances -- but she manages.]

I did.

[And that's the truth.]

I was given his name by a friend of mine. She knew about you, and a partner? I thought you had a partner.

[Sort of truth.]

And I don't know any jewel thieves.

[Total lie.]

Do you have a few minutes?

[She really doesn't give half a damn now, does she?]

Nice to meet you Detective Vecchio, I'm Grace Marks.

[She can't resist herself.]

It's a shame when someone you rely one disappears, isn't it?

And yes, please get in, otherwise someone's going to think I'm propositioning you!

It's when you need them most, people fail you. Sad truth of the universe, isn't it.

[Make him feel like a confidant, make him feel like he's got a chance: confidence woman 101.

I heard about something, disconcerting.

[She fakes a little more distress.]

But it requires some delicacy. No one can know I've talked to you.

[Obviously, her little act is succeeding, but there is some truth in there about being disappointed in people.]

Well, maybe you can impress me some more.

[Have some false hope.]

My sister, Vicky [In for a penny, in for a pound] moved from Richmond Hill to Chicago with her boyfriend, James. I haven;t seen her in a few years, but then she calls, out of the blue, asking me to come down here and take her home.

She said James was planning a bank robbery.

[She has no problem giving it out either.]

Yes, it's north east of Toronto. His name is James Kinnear, I think.

[Victoria looks down, as though ashamed.] I didn't approve of him, so I'm not sure. Vicky is worth so much more.

But since I've arrived in Chicago, I haven't been able to find her.

[She hands over the address -- it's really the address of a hotel, but how could this sweet, concerned, Grace Marks know it's a false address? It's not as though she's ever stayed there.

Been in front of it, yes, but never in a room. She also gives him the name of a bank in an obscure area of town. It's not a branch known for having a lot of money, but not a lot of security either.

This is all I have.

[She looks so sorry about that, really.]

She had much more promise. One mistake with the wrong man, and I don't want this to be the rest of her life.

[Playing this by ear means she wasn't prepared with a picture. There's an option but she's not sure she wants to give it up.

While planning what to say next, she makes a show out of searching her purse, before pulling out a well-worn photo from the mid-eighties.
]

This is the newest one I have. I'm sorry.

[He won't have any luck finding her, as she's six feet under in Alaska.

One more piece of the old Victoria turned over to the police.

She

[She almost says was. Stay with it, Victoria.]

is. I mean, I expect her to be. I can't imagine she's changed that much, on the outside.

[Sad truths, rolled up into one lie.]

The motel I'm staying at, it's not the best my room doesn't have a phone and I don't think the clerk takes messages, if you know what I mean. What if I check in with you?

[Keep control of the meets. It's easier to stay in control.]

[The smile she has outwardly portrays gratitude, but on the inside, she's pleased with how easy this man seems to be.

And he's not Ray. That's curious.
]

Thank you. I'm glad I called you.

[Taking the card, she makes a show out of putting it into her wallet, with her cash, as if it's of equal importance.]

Other than my sister? I thought I knew a couple, but neither of them are here now. They must've moved on.

[This is the easiest mark she's ever played.]

Your partner messes up your plan? He sounds like a poor partner.

[This is a face of all the sympathy. It's not entirely dishonest either as Ben's been known to mess up some of her own plans.]

There's a small diner I had lunch at, I don't have much to spend, but the food's good and the price reasonable.

[She gives him the name of the diner where she first met up with Ben. It's on purpose: one final test.]
