Eastern Promises/Transcript

In Chief Marquez's office...

Chief Andrea Marquez: , I've got a special assignment today: the Pacific Bay Police received an invitation to a wedding in Inner City, and I want you to represent us!

Andrea: The father of the bride owns a shisha shop in the Bazaar, he's well-known in the District and has invited many influential members of the community. It's an honor to be among them.

Andrea: What's more, the bride and groom are both Serbians, which means they are affiliated with the Russian community.

Andrea: Considering the recent tensions we've witnessed, I'll be glad to have my best agent there to keep an eye open.

Frank: Haha, good luck with that, ! Half of all marriages end in divorce, but if they can't even get through the wedding day without police presence, it must be a match made in hell!

Andrea: I take it you're volunteering to go with , Frank? I hope you have something other than that shirt to wear!

At the wedding ceremony...

Priest: Do you, Manka Radich, take Steve Srebnik to be your lawful wedded husband?

Manka: I do!

Priest: Do you, Steve Srebnik, take Manka Radich to be your lawful wedded wife?

Steve: I do.

Frank: Do you, Frank Knight, take the buffet to be your lawful eaten dinner? Oh yes I do! Let's head to the reception, !

At the wedding reception...

Frank: Great! The bride and groom have said "yes" to one another, now we can get to the interesting part: the buffet! I hope Serbian food is tasty!

Manka: Hey, you, are you the police? Good! I can't find Papa! He disappeared after leading me to the altar, it's so embarrassing! You must go and find him!

Frank: Erm, don't you have bridesmaids to send on errands like this?

Manka: Didn't you hear me?! Go and find my father! Argh, I thought choosing the wedding dress was stressful, but guests who don't follow instructions are worse!

Frank: Alright, erm, no need to panic. As   says, we'll find him! A quick look in the reception room and he'll be right with you!

Chapter 1
Investigate Reception Room.

Frank Knight: , you've just found the father of the bride impaled on a decoration!

Frank: I bet the poor man didn't think this morning that he'd finish the day in Roxie's morgue!

Frank: But I see you're more interested in those cupcakes, you glutton, you'd even pick them up from the floor! To look under the pile, you say? Alright, let's dig in!

Frank: And this crystal powder, where did you pick this up? Near the body? Hm, I've heard about throwing rice at the newlyweds for good luck... But blue crystal?

Frank: You're right: What if it's related to the murder, and not the wedding? OK, let's look at the crystal under a microscope, to figure out what it is.

Frank: And you found broken porcelain? OK, we'll fix it... But first I'll change back into normal clothes. I feel naked without my badge!

Frank: I know, we also need to tell the bride her father is dead. Luckily, one of us has people skills... And we both have bulletproof vests, just in case she loses her temper!
