Mojo Rising by sly_bone
Mojo Rising:
Season 2 – between The Ladies Man and Mountie Sings the Blues
In which:
Fraser and RayK unwittingly allow a voodoo priest named Gerome Laferette, wanted by the Feds for attempted murder, to escape in RayK's precious GTO. While RayK tries to keep the car theft a secret from his father, he and Fraser also have bigger problems, like zombies and curses and things that go bump in the night.....
Fraser and RayK rescue a stranger who's running from two gunmen. While the cops and the gunmen are in a standoff, the man steals RayK's car and escapes. The gunmen turn out to be Federal agents from the Bureau of Naturalization and Immigration, who want Gerome Laferette on a charge of attempted murder. RayK wants to find Gerome to get his car back. Gerome is a respected member of the Haitian immigrant community and a priest in the Vodun religion. He's always co-operated with the Feds, then, for seemingly no reason, he led them into a trap which they barely escaped.
Fraser and RayK begin an investigation that takes them into the heart of the voodoo community in Chicago. No one wants to co-operate with the police, but Fraser finds a clue that leads them to a secret "nine night" voodoo ceremony, where they capture Gerome. Dief is completely taken with Gerome and refuses to leave his side. Shortly after his arrest, Gerome is found dead in the lock-up, and his body is taken to the morgue. Things get really strange when his body disappears. Dief is also missing. Fraser suspects Gerome used drugs or meditation techniques to suppress his vital signs. Others suspect he's become a zombie.
Mama Lolla, a voodoo practitioner, curses the police station, and all sorts of things start to go wrong. Accidents increase, the electrical system short circuits and light bulbs burst all over the building. Deciding to fight back, Francesca does a little research and collects some anti-curse paraphernalia.
Fraser and RayK visit Gerome's wife and realize his daughter is missing. Someone has kidnapped Gerome's daughter to gain a hold over him. Fraser wins Mama Lolla's trust, and she introduces him to the drumming and chanting of voodoo ceremonies. Fraser and RayK discover that an unscrupulous sweatshop owner is using voodoo to exploit illegal immigrants. Finding Gerome and rescuing his daughter becomes a combination of police work and a struggle between good and bad magic.
“Quotes”
RayK: "Fraser, what are you doing?"
Fraser: "Driving."
RayK: "This is not driving, this is walking with a vehicle."
(Fraser annoyingly obeys all speed limits.)
Fraser: “You just asked me to be careful.”
RayK: “Careful. Not stationary. Stop the car; let me show you how to do it.”
Fraser: “I’ve ridden with you many times Ray.”
RayK: “Ridden yes. Studied, no. Learned? No. Stop the car.”
Fraser: “As you wish.”
(they trade places without getting out of the car)
RayK: “Okay. Good driving is like a vocation. Part brain part magic, part guts, part ESP. Watch the shoulder.
Fraser: “What’s that?”
Frannie: “What is that? What does that stand for? GTO. Great throbbing-”
Frannie as she accuses all men of having their “brains stuck behind [their] zippers” except Fraser, of course.
RayK: “Pitter patter, let’s get at her.”
RayK: “Clothing adjustment.”
Fraser: "My name is Constable Benton Fraser--"
Lolla: "You first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of your daddy, and you stayed... so did your daddy."
RayK: "Look this isn't a joke lady. Your husband's in alot of trouble. GRAND THEFT AUTO....and some stupid federal charges...."
When Ray and Fraser leave the apartment and Fraser says that he knew Dief
had been there because he smelled him, Ray wants to go back and arrest them...
Fraser: "But we have no proof."
RayK: "Proof? You smelled the dog."
Fraser is walking away...
RayK: “‘Smelled the dog?' Fraser, I think I've been working with you too long."
RayK: "You all right?"
Fraser: "Yeah."
RayK: "Sure you're okay?"
Fraser: "Yeah, I'm fine."
RayK: "The reason I ask is you're on fire."
Fraser: "Oh."
(The back of Fraser's peacoat is on fire.)
My favorite scene.
In the 27th when Frannie is trying to de-curse the station and everything starts going haywire, we get the only glimpse of a marching band in the entire series. (correct me if I’m wrong) I’m just a band geek at heart and every true band geek has had at least one “and then we all fall over like dominos…” conversation. So it was neat to see it happen!
