Hunter S01E02 Hard Contract
Transcript
00:00Gus Trankis has taken all he's gonna take.
00:05If anybody can pull off this contract, it's Gus.
00:07Gus is at the door, and he's drunk.
00:09Now, what is she planning on doing, having a shootout with her mother's doctor?
00:14I love this division. More killings and shootings down here than any other.
00:18He was my partner. I owe him.
00:20Partners don't owe, they just do.
00:22Let me buy you lunch.
00:26You said they had great egg salad sandwiches here.
00:28They don't even have egg salad in that machine, Hunter.
00:30Works for me.
00:31You're looking for a good bus to go someplace else.
00:33Don't do it, Gus.
01:29Works for me.
01:44Hello.
01:45Dee Dee?
01:46Open this door, Marilyn!
01:47Dee Dee, it's Marilyn.
01:49Gus is at the door, and he's drunk.
01:52What do you want me to do, Marilyn?
01:54It's not even 5.30 in the morning.
01:56I can't call the police, you know.
01:58I can't call the police.
01:59Not after what happened.
02:01Okay, look, I'll be there in five minutes.
02:04Open this door, or I'll take it off its hinges!
02:07Gus, just go away! I'll talk to you later!
02:10I'm not Mr. Rossi! I want in!
02:12Let me in, damn it!
02:21Let me in!
02:51You open your mouth, Marilyn, and I'll fill it with dirt.
02:54I'm not kidding! I mean it!
02:58How are things going, Gus?
03:04Oh, this is great.
03:06This is great, Marilyn.
03:08You called this bag of puke over here to save you.
03:11Come on, Gus, get out.
03:13I put it on the air coming over here.
03:15In a couple of minutes, we'll be up to our ears in blues.
03:17That's right. That's your story, isn't it?
03:19You let me out once, why not keep up the pressure?
03:23I'm not above much these days, McCall.
03:25Maybe I ought to hang one on you.
03:28Cut your losses, Gus.
03:32Get out.
03:34I'm sorry, Gus.
03:37I was afraid.
03:39Let it happen. Let it all happen.
03:41If it goes down crooked, that's fine.
03:45I'll take you both with me.
03:47Take them all with me.
03:49I don't care.
03:52You didn't call him, did you, Dee Dee?
03:54I said no police.
03:57No, I didn't call him.
04:03I don't know what to do.
04:07You know, I just can't take this.
04:09When I came in, I heard him say that if you told anybody what he told you, he'd kill you.
04:15Look, Marilyn, what's going on?
04:17I can't. I just... I just want to get out of this.
04:21If you don't tell me, I can't help him or you.
04:25What did this to him, Dee Dee?
04:28What turned him into this?
04:39Come in.
04:41How you doing?
04:42How am I doing, sir?
04:43Well, sir, I'm doing wonderful.
04:45I've been getting what can only be described as rather massive breaks on all my cases,
04:49and I've been putting in a lot of overtime.
04:51I'm on my own time, sir. I've been clocking out first.
04:54I've been working on some special projects.
04:56I recently read the mayor's very moving speech on cleaning up the city.
05:00Graffiti, defacing and so forth,
05:02and I've been trying to work up a program to deal with that.
05:05Once again, on my own time. Saturday work and so forth.
05:08Excuse me, Bernie. I'm fascinated, of course.
05:11I'm going to have to reassign you this morning.
05:13Don't tell me, sir, that my transfer to public relations has come through.
05:16McCall called in this morning. She's going to take a week's sick leave.
05:20I'm going to sign you up with Hunter.
05:22With Hunter?
05:25Very well, sir.
05:26You know what this is, Bernie?
05:28That is a small spiral notebook.
05:31No! It was a small spiral notebook.
05:34What it is now is a deficient procedure and malperformance log on Sergeant Rick Hunter.
05:39I want every one of his departmental infractions in this book.
05:43If he goes to buy a candy bar without going code 7,
05:46I want it in the book.
05:48What you're holding to Williger
05:50is the most important exhibit in Hunter's dismissal board hearing.
05:53How you fill those pages will determine the success of that hearing.
05:57Okay, Bernie?
05:59Sir, I take this as a vote of confidence in my performance.
06:03Right now, Hunter's in the coffee room jamming jelly donuts in his face.
06:06Have fun.
06:08Thank you, sir.
06:09Thank you, sir.
06:10Bring me back a flounder, Bernie.
06:13I'm counting on you.
06:19Have you signed in with the watch commander yet?
06:24Are you talking to me, Bernie?
06:26Yes.
06:27No, I sign in on the way out like everybody else.
06:31It is 8.05. That makes you late for work, Hunter.
06:34I know, Bernie.
06:35But I make up for it with my style, zest, nerve, and quality bus.
06:398.05 is 8.05.
06:41H-sharp is H-sharp.
06:45Am I missing something here, Bernie?
06:48Are you working on another brown bag special
06:51to help get yourself transferred to P.R.?
06:53That's very funny.
06:54Public relations serves as a necessary link
06:56between the practical business of the street
06:58and the public perception of police business.
07:00That's a real hellhole over there, Bernie.
07:02I hear they lost a guy just last week.
07:04Shot?
07:05Bad shrimp.
07:07We are going to be partnered for a while,
07:10so I think we can dispense with the ho-hum humor.
07:13It really doesn't amuse me at all.
07:16I'm partnered with McCall, Bernie.
07:18If you've signed in with the watch commander
07:20as prescribed in departmental policy,
07:22you'd then be aware that Sergeant McCall
07:24is now on a week sick leave.
07:26Therefore, they have assigned you to me.
07:30Give me a watch, commander.
07:33Hiya, Skipper. This is Hunter.
07:36What's this about McCall being on sick leave?
07:39Well, did she say what was wrong?
07:42Well, I know that. Thanks.
07:45Since I am senior and days on the job,
07:48I will take the lead position in our little team of two.
07:51Did she say what was wrong?
07:53I haven't a clue. Maybe she got some bad shrimp.
07:57She's not answering her phone.
07:59You're trying to call Sergeant McCall?
08:01I was trying to, Bernie.
08:03Isn't that using a department phone for personal business?
08:05She's my partner.
08:07Correction. She is an officer who is unassigned and on sick leave.
08:10Therefore, she is not currently on active duty.
08:13Your trying to phone her is in violation of departmental phone regs.
08:16Is this what I'm in for today, Bernie?
08:18I've always thought that a rule-conscious officer makes fewer mistakes.
08:21I've tried to run my career along those lines.
08:23Got it.
08:26Clear us, will you, Sergeant?
08:30This is L-56. Clear and rolling. Out.
08:33L-56. Roger.
08:35You are L-56. This unit is my unit.
08:37I am the senior officer here. I am L-28.
08:40Clear L-28, if you please.
08:50What are you doing?
08:53What are you doing, Hunter?
08:55This is Deedee's house.
08:57She was filling out yesterday's reports.
08:59Now, you don't want us not to file her police reports, do you, Bernie?
09:02All right, but make it quick, will you?
09:22All right.
09:43I'm Rick Hunter. Where's Deedee?
09:45Um, I'm sorry. I don't know.
09:48I'm her partner.
09:50Well, she went to visit her mother in Portland.
09:52I thought she was sick. She took sick leave.
09:55Oh, well, her mother is sick. That's why she's in Portland.
09:58I've seen you someplace before. We've met, haven't we?
10:01I'm Marilyn Sankster. I'm an old friend of Deedee's.
10:04She's letting me stay here while she's out of town.
10:07Her mother, huh?
10:09What? Where are you going?
10:15What are you doing?
10:21Just get out of here.
10:23She took her police issue 38, as well as the belly gun 25.
10:27Now, what is she planning on doing,
10:29having a shootout with her mother's doctor?
10:31I can't tell. I promised.
10:37If she calls in, tell her I was here. Have her call me.
10:41I have a new unit designation, L-28.
10:44It's important, Marilyn.
10:51I know we've met.
10:53I don't think so.
11:02Well?
11:04She wasn't home. I couldn't get the reports.
11:12We're going to the park across from the mayor's office.
11:15Let's go, Sergeant. We're going where?
11:17It's a special project of mine.
11:24See the graffiti on that tree there?
11:26Over there on that monument,
11:28and all the way across the park, all over the mayor's office?
11:31Graffiti everywhere you look. It defaces everything.
11:34You know what we're going to do about it?
11:36We're going to find out who's doing all this street art
11:39and start handing down citations.
11:41You don't think this is very important, do you?
11:44Let me put it to you more plainly.
11:46I think this is absurd. I'm a homicide detective.
11:49And what's with all the writing in the book?
11:52Why don't you take the right-hand side of the park?
11:55I'll take the left-hand side.
11:57Talk to the people. Get a description.
11:59We'll catch these punks.
12:01Crime doesn't pay. Not in my city.
12:04Let's move out, Sergeant.
12:07I don't believe I'm doing this.
12:16Let's go.
12:31Records and identification, Officer Smith.
12:33Hiya, Smitty, this is Hunter.
12:35Run the next cop by the name of Gus Trankus for me, would you?
12:38I think he was on duty here in Los Angeles a couple of years ago.
12:41Yeah, I think he went before a shooting review board
12:44and got dismissed.
12:50You want to hold? It'll just take a minute to punch it up.
12:53Yeah, I got a couple of minutes coming.
13:00Simon didn't say you could do that.
13:02Simon? Meet Simon.
13:05Simon says go directly to jail, do not pass code,
13:08do not collect $200.
13:10I'll have one with mustard and sauerkraut, please.
13:15Okay, Hunter, I got him.
13:17Well, you're right. He got thrown off the force.
13:20Killed a guy in an alley.
13:22He claimed self-defense, but they seem to think
13:24that he planted a gun on a guy after he shot him.
13:26Was his wife's maiden name Marilyn Sangster?
13:29Yeah, that's her.
13:31Wait a minute, here's something funny.
13:33You know who his first partner was?
13:35McCall?
13:37That's right, the old brass cupcake.
13:39Yeah, what else you got?
13:41He was a private dick for six months
13:43and then he lost his license.
13:45Any known associates?
13:49Yeah, one.
13:51A guy named Brian Carmichael.
13:53Works as a bartender in a dive over in the 77th Division,
13:55known as the Irish Rose.
13:57Trankus got involved in a fight in there not too long ago,
13:59broke the place up pretty good.
14:01This guy Carmichael, he refused to file charges.
14:03Okay, Smitty, thanks.
14:05Send a black and white over to the park opposite
14:07the mayor's office for a little bit of cleanup, would you?
14:14Whew.
14:20How'd you do, Hunter?
14:22Cooking, Bernie, really cooking.
14:24Looks like this stuff is being painted on
14:26by a street gang called the Stilettos.
14:28Ought to be a lot of fun catching these punks, Bernie.
14:31Dodging their switchblades and prying spray cans out of their hands.
14:34It's not our job.
14:36We'll let the blues roll on the bus when we find out who's doing it.
14:39Oh, yeah, I lost my head there for a minute, Bernie, sorry.
14:41Let me buy you lunch. It's been a hard morning.
14:43I know a great restaurant, best food in Los Angeles,
14:46a little place called the Irish Rose.
14:48Okay, Hunter, thanks.
14:50Hey, listen, what's a partner for
14:52if he can't buy lunch every once in a while, huh?
14:58Boy, this place is really out of the way, isn't it, Hunter?
15:01Yeah, I know, that's why I like it.
15:03Treats you like a king in this place, Bernie.
15:06This isn't the 77th Division, is it?
15:08Toughest damn division in Los Angeles.
15:10I love this division.
15:12More killings and shootings down here than any other.
15:15I wouldn't be surprised
15:17if we end up dumping a couple of hardballs during lunch.
15:20We couldn't just go to the Universal Grill, could we?
15:23You're gonna love this place, Bernie.
15:25Best kitchen in Los Angeles.
15:38Let's go.
15:49Hey, look here, Bernie.
15:51Maybe we can ask some questions
15:53while we're having something to eat.
16:03There's no kitchen here, Hunter.
16:05This is a bar.
16:08I see the sandwich vending machine here, Bernie.
16:11The best egg salad sandwiches in Los Angeles
16:13come out of that machine.
16:18Hunter, what are you doing?
16:24Don't talk about coincidences, Bernie.
16:26I think that's my sick partner,
16:28D.D. McCall, over there at the end of the bar.
16:30We should be in the valley working on my case.
16:32Instead, you bring me to this slum capital of Los Angeles
16:35to check on your crazy partner.
16:39Hi, fellas.
16:41Looking for a little fun?
16:43McCall, I have no idea what you're...
16:45Your friend behind the bar just went for the phone.
16:47I'm sorry, but I think we may have burned you.
16:49Well, I wasn't getting anywhere anyway.
16:51This might work out better.
16:53What is going on?
16:55Sorry, it's none of your business.
16:57It's personal.
16:59Marilyn Trankus is in your apartment.
17:01Gus was your first partner,
17:03and he used to hang out at this bar.
17:05with a guy named Carmichael.
17:07Now, my guess is Carmichael
17:09is a big, fat, ugly guy behind the bar
17:11with a sweat-stained T-shirt
17:13and a bar rag hanging over his shoulder.
17:15I should have known better
17:17than to try to slide one past you, Hunter.
17:19What are you two talking about?
17:21Wait a minute. What is going on here?
17:23This whole bar is gonna turn upside down
17:25in about three or four minutes.
17:27Les.
17:29I want to talk to you.
17:31Outside.
17:33Maybe I don't want to go.
17:35Leave us alone. We are...
17:37You're going, mister!
18:04Ah!
18:10Get up.
18:12Come on. You two, over the table.
18:14Come on!
18:16Spread them.
18:20Do me a favor.
18:22Would you, Bernie, read this to Fisrites before he comes to?
18:34Oh, Lord, that smarts.
18:36I can't see anything through it.
18:38I can't see anything at all.
18:40Here, Bernie, let me take a look.
18:42No, no, no, no. Don't even come near me.
18:44I was just trying to help.
18:46You've done quite enough already,
18:48and it'll all be in my report, all right?
18:50What's that, Bernie, that you and I went to lunch
18:52and a couple of hard ballers
18:54tried to introduce baseball bats to the backs of our heads?
18:56You said we were going to have lunch.
18:58You said they had food here.
19:00You said they had great egg salad sandwiches here.
19:03They don't even have egg salad in that machine, Hunter!
19:05Oh, that must be the bar on 3rd Street.
19:07You're going to be up on the carpet for this one, Hunter.
19:09Where is my logbook?
19:11All I know is my partner and I stopped for lunch.
19:14You voluntarily entered the bar,
19:16walked into the middle of a 245,
19:18and, as a good police officer,
19:20attempted to apprehend the assailants.
19:22That's what goes in my report, Bernie,
19:24along with the fact that you attempted to flee
19:26the scene of a crime in progress.
19:28What?
19:30I'm a fellow officer in distress.
19:32That is nonsense, Hunter.
19:34How did I get this if I wasn't involved?
19:36You got it trying to duck out the door, Bernie.
19:38I've taken all of this from you two that I'm going to take.
19:41I'm going back to the precinct house right now.
19:43Let's go, mister. Let's go. Move it!
19:45Let's go.
19:51Hunter?
19:53I'd have a talk with this guy at the bar
19:55before Bernie comes back.
20:01Gus Trankis. I'm looking for him.
20:03We're all looking for something, lady.
20:05I don't know!
20:08Come on! You guys supposed to be cops?
20:11And you're supposed to be a bartender.
20:13But now you're going to be a convict
20:15for assaulting a police officer.
20:17I didn't know! Honest!
20:19Hey, look, Gus told me that there might be
20:21some friends of his coming around.
20:23The kind of friends you don't want to know about.
20:25Well, it couldn't be us, could it?
20:27I mean, Gus is just dying to hear from us, right?
20:29He made a phone call. Where's the number?
20:31Over by the telephone.
20:36It's no good, though.
20:42It was disconnected when I called.
20:45Hey, listen, Gus gave me that number a long time ago,
20:48and I haven't heard from him in a long time.
20:54I'm playing aces up with you. Really, I am.
20:57You give me a call if Gus checks in.
20:59Sure, sure. No sweat, no sweat.
21:01Look, I had to do what I did.
21:03Gus is a buddy of mine.
21:05Hey, you'd do the same thing if you had a friend that was in trouble.
21:07Wouldn't you?
21:14Hunter, will you get off my back?
21:16What I'm doing is personal. I don't need you butting in.
21:18Well, it looks like you could have used someone a few minutes ago.
21:20I was doing fine until you showed up.
21:22You were not doing fine.
21:24Gus Trankis is in your apartment, and she's not doing so hot either.
21:27I think you need help.
21:29Now, I want to help you out of whatever mess you're in
21:31so I can get rid of Bernie.
21:33Hunter, I need space on this one.
21:35I know you're looking for Gus Trankis.
21:37I mean, what kind of trouble is this guy in
21:39that you want to keep so secret?
21:41He told Marilyn he took a contract.
21:43A contract? At least that was a word he used.
21:45It couldn't mean anything, but after he told her,
21:47it practically beat her to death
21:49to keep her from repeating it to anybody.
21:51No, hold on. Go home and wait for me.
21:53I'll dump Bernie, and I'll come back and pick you up.
21:55Hunter, I didn't ask for your help.
21:57Well, you just don't know how to ask for help.
21:59Look who's talking.
22:05Bernie!
22:07Bernie, you okay?
22:09I must have had friends hiding in the shadows.
22:11They jumped me all at once.
22:13Shadows? Bernie, it's broad daylight.
22:15Come on, Hunter. I'm wounded.
22:17Caught me where I was most vulnerable,
22:19on my blind side.
22:21Where have you been all this time?
22:23Leaving me out here with two dangerous prisoners.
22:25Oh, yeah, you're right, Bernie. I guess I should have been out here.
22:27After all, they were only handcuffed, right?
22:29Oh, oh.
22:43The number was a phone that he had in the room,
22:45but the phone company disconnected it
22:47because of a payment of bills two days ago.
22:51I am really not in the mood for this right now.
22:53Well, you're the one that thought
22:55Trankus might recognize your car.
23:01Where to now?
23:03I'm dry on this.
23:05I thought for sure I'd get a line on Gus
23:07out of the Irish Rose.
23:09You'll think of something.
23:11You spent a lot of time with this guy.
23:13After all, you were partners for years.
23:15We were more than partners.
23:19We were a real team, Hunter.
23:21I was fresh out of the academy.
23:23Gus taught me so much.
23:25He showed me the streets.
23:27We made a pact.
23:29We were gonna do it together.
23:31Together, we were gonna make a difference.
23:33Looking back,
23:35I guess we never really did think alike.
23:39After the shooting review board washed Gus out,
23:41I never wanted another partner.
23:45I never wanted to get that close
23:47to anybody I worked with again.
23:49He's capable, isn't he?
23:51I mean, he could take a hit contract, couldn't he?
23:55Yeah, I gotta get to him.
23:57I gotta help him, Hunter.
23:59There's gotta be something you're not clicking on.
24:01You know, I mean, uh,
24:03what about the cases you had together?
24:05The little things you'd pick up?
24:07Oh, damn it, Hunter.
24:09The Magistretti hit.
24:11Well, the bullet from Chicago that took out Eastside Charlie?
24:13Whenever a button man comes to town
24:15or someone goes to ground,
24:17procedure is a search of all flop houses and apartments, right?
24:19Right.
24:21Well, the thing that impressed both me and Gus
24:23was that this guy who hit Eastside Charlie
24:25came to town and rented an office.
24:27I mean, you never think of offices for these.
24:29How many of them are there that never get checked?
24:31I don't know.
24:33I don't know.
24:35How many of them are there that never get checked?
24:41You think?
24:43Works for me.
24:55Executive Realty. This is Terry.
24:57Uh, hi, Terry. This is, uh, Gus Trankis.
24:59Gus Trankis.
25:01Oh, oh, yes, of course. How do you do, Mr. Trankis?
25:03Well, I really don't know.
25:05I haven't received those lease agreements yet.
25:07Is there some problem?
25:09Problem? Well, no, I don't see how there could be a problem.
25:11You know, I could have sworn
25:13that those leases came back with the signatures.
25:15Hold on just a minute, and I'll check.
25:17All right.
25:19Why are we doing this, huh? You want to tell me that?
25:21You want to find Gus Trankis.
25:23Well, why don't we just go down there,
25:25flash our badges, and ask them?
25:27Why don't we just take out a billboard ad
25:29and say, hey, Gus, the heat's on?
25:31Well, I don't understand.
25:33I have those signed leases right here in front of me.
25:35Would you hold, please,
25:37till I get my secretary on the line?
25:39Thank you.
25:41Come on.
25:47Uh, yes. Hello. This is Annie.
25:49Oh, hi, Annie.
25:51Hi. Apparently, I have lost all the lease agreements.
25:53You see, I was out of the office last week,
25:55and there was a temp in.
25:57Tell me about it.
25:59Oh, honey, I know.
26:01Now, let's see. It was the Studio City duplex.
26:03Oh, no.
26:05This is for the Century City high-rise.
26:07Uh, 2-1-2-5-0
26:09Century Park East, suite 810.
26:11Oh, well, there you go.
26:13You see, I told him he was going crazy over nothing.
26:15I have those leases.
26:17It's the Studio City duplex lease that's lost.
26:19Well, that'll teach me to go on vacation, huh?
26:21Right.
26:23Bye-bye.
26:25Well...
26:272-1-2-5-0 Century Park East.
26:29Made it.
26:35Don't slam it.
26:39I can't.
26:41Hey, hey, hey, hey. Loosen up, Sergeant.
26:43Why?
26:45Well, you know why. This is no way to go in there and face this guy.
26:47What are you talking about?
26:49You know exactly what I'm talking about. Reign it in.
26:51Do the job.
26:53You leave with your emotions, and you won't be in control.
26:55I'm totally in control.
26:57You don't like the way I'm handling this case, you can wait in the car.
26:59Well, I can't.
27:01The door won't open.
27:03Come on.
27:19I don't believe it.
27:21Trick or treat, Gus.
27:23That's a sucker bet, Gus.
27:27Well, you did it again, didn't you, honey?
27:29Went and brought in the heat.
27:31Hunter's just here as a friend.
27:33Hers, not yours, meatball.
27:35Hunter, please.
27:37What the hell's going on, Gus, huh?
27:39What are you doing?
27:41What the hell do you care?
27:43I do care. It cost me a lot to find you.
27:45I care a lot, and so does Marilyn.
27:47I got a lot of caring from the two of you.
27:49Up to here, I got your caring.
27:51If you're looking for a good bust, go someplace else.
27:53Don't do it, Gus.
27:55I don't know what you're talking about.
27:57And I don't need a license for this thing.
27:59What kind of hunt are you planning to do with this, Gus?
28:01Take your friend and shove off.
28:03Let me help you, Gus.
28:05When I needed your help, you weren't there.
28:07When I needed you to stand up for me, you folded like a bad poker hand.
28:09I did what I had to do.
28:11I couldn't lie, and you wouldn't have wanted me to.
28:13Aren't you living in some fairy tale?
28:15I was one of the best damn cops on the force.
28:17I was first in my class out of the academy
28:19because I was doing my job, because I wasted some slob.
28:21I end up jockeying the unemployment line.
28:23Take this broad and get out of here!
28:25Gus, for God's sakes.
28:27You can't go through with this.
28:29I know you, and you can't.
28:31You never knew me.
28:35And I never knew you, honey.
28:49I thought I told you to get out.
28:51She doesn't want to hear, right?
28:53She thinks you're gonna talk to me.
28:55Man-to-man, maybe?
28:57I'm gonna talk to your cop-to-creep.
28:59That lady out there gives a damn about you.
29:01Why is beyond me.
29:03But she's just trying to flag you off the track
29:05to keep you from hitting the wall.
29:07Come on.
29:09We're both big boys, Hunter.
29:11We both know what we're doing.
29:13We both know what we're doing.
29:15We both know what we're doing.
29:17We're both big boys, Hunter.
29:19We both know what's going on out there.
29:21And you know what happened to me,
29:23exactly what always happens to guys like me.
29:25Like us.
29:27Don't flatter yourself, pal.
29:29You and I are nothing alike.
29:31All I can tell you, Hunter, is watch out.
29:33She'll do you like she did me.
29:35She didn't send me in here, Trankus.
29:37I'm not in here to save you.
29:39I'm in here to let you know this is a hard contract.
29:41You're gonna feel my breath right down your neck.
29:43And when you look down,
29:45I'm gonna steam right over the top of you.
29:47All that's gonna be left
29:49is something for the dogs to lap up.
29:51You don't breathe heavy on me, and I fold.
29:53Keep coming. I'm waiting.
29:55Gus Trankus has taken all he's gonna take.
29:59I'm gonna go down hard.
30:03Works for me.
30:11Wanna know what you said to him, Hunter?
30:13I told you it was nothing.
30:15Just a hello and a goodbye.
30:17I forgot my cigarettes.
30:19You don't smoke, Hunter.
30:21Oh, yeah?
30:23You should have seen me a few minutes ago.
30:25Hey, he's going for it.
30:27Come here, come here.
30:29Come on, come on, come on!
30:31You're losing him!
30:33I'm already up to warp speed as it is.
30:35What do you want me to do?
30:59Come on, come on!
31:29Come on, come on!
31:59Come on, come on!
32:17Trankus always was a hell of a driver.
32:19I think he got away.
32:21There's nothing here to tell us anything.
32:23He's cleaned out.
32:25Now he's gonna crawl into a hole
32:27and pull it in after him.
32:29We found him once. We'll find him again.
32:31There's more than one way back into this case.
32:33If we can't find the shooter, we'll work backwards.
32:35Find out who he's after, and then head him off.
32:37Gus wouldn't have had that phone put in
32:39if he didn't want to call somebody.
32:41I can't let him go down like this, Hunter.
32:43I don't know what to do.
32:45He wouldn't have had that phone put in
32:47if he didn't want to call somebody.
32:49I can't let him go down like this, Hunter.
32:51He was my partner. I owe him.
32:53Dee Dee, partners don't owe.
32:55They just do.
32:57Yeah?
32:59Got that info for you.
33:01Hold on.
33:03Yeah, what do you got?
33:05Hunter, only one number was dialed from that phone.
33:07555-3793.
33:09Thanks.
33:15Well, did they run it?
33:17They didn't have to. I know who this number belongs to.
33:19Well, who? Let's go find him.
33:21If Gus called that number for help,
33:23we won't have to go find anyone.
33:25They'll find me.
33:45Come on.
33:55Wake up, Hunter.
33:57You got an appointment.
33:59It's about time.
34:01My fellas sleep waiting for you guys.
34:05Look at this, will you?
34:07Factory sealed?
34:09Does that look like it's factory sealed?
34:11It looks like it was wrapped by my two-year-old.
34:13Good morning, Jilly.
34:15Hey, Rick.
34:17I didn't know you could get up this early.
34:19Well, I usually do sleep till 6 a.m.
34:21Oh, you could have dressed.
34:23Well, they could have given me a chance.
34:25Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?
34:27Oh, that's a hot one.
34:29I got an order for more units of that than I can push out.
34:31Go on, keep it.
34:33It won't be on tape for almost a year.
34:35Well, I don't have a recorder.
34:37Hey, Benny, go get him one of those new VCRs out of the back.
34:39The good one with the remote, huh?
34:41I'd hate to think these tapes are pirated.
34:43I'd hate to think
34:45you're gonna get your beak caught in the doorjamb.
34:47You know why you're here?
34:49Well, it's not to watch videos
34:51and eat popcorn.
34:53I was asked to talk to you.
34:55Some people are getting a little nervous
34:57that you're gonna mess up their plans.
34:59Oh, well, I must be doing my job then, huh?
35:01Oh, come on, Rick, smarten up.
35:03The only reason why you didn't wake up in the trunk of your car
35:05is because Terry Franks knows that we're cousins.
35:07Well, since when are we involved with the Franks family?
35:09Well, they just don't know how to figure you.
35:11They don't know how to approach you.
35:13So they figured you and I being first cousins,
35:15that maybe I could get you to listen to reason.
35:17What are you gonna do, bully me, Jilly?
35:19Your dad told me a long time ago
35:21that you never threaten to bully a guy
35:23unless you're gonna back it up.
35:25So I'm asking you as a friend.
35:27Will you leave this alone and back off?
35:29Now that's a factory seal.
35:35Dave Indicott's got to be the target.
35:37Dave Indicott is gonna testify against Terry Franks.
35:39It would all make sense.
35:41It would be unnatural to think that an ex-cop
35:43could pull a hit on another cop.
35:45And Gus knows procedure for protecting and moving a witness to the court.
35:47Maybe he knows. Maybe he knows his personal habits.
35:49Yeah.
35:51Hi, we need to see Captain Kane right away.
35:53Oh, he's not in. He'll probably be checking in with me later today.
35:55Oh, this can't wait till later today.
35:57Well, he's gonna be at the courthouse sometime this afternoon.
35:59Courthouse?
36:01Does this have anything to do with Officer Indicott?
36:03Captain Kane and Bernie Terwilliger
36:05are in charge of security on that case.
36:07When are they scheduled to be there?
36:09They're probably at the courthouse already.
36:11Yeah, come on. Let's go.
36:13Let's hope Gus hasn't made his move yet.
36:19Officer Indicott.
36:21Officer Indicott.
36:23Indicott.
36:35So?
36:37They didn't get to him.
36:39He's got to come back and testify tomorrow.
36:41Kane's got about ten officers working security.
36:43Twelve.
36:47Look, thanks, Hunter.
36:49I know you've dodged a lot of departmental flack.
36:53Well, I've been on this rugged graffiti thing.
36:55It's been tough.
36:57But I'm hanging in there for you.
36:59Thanks.
37:01There he goes.
37:03There he goes.
37:11You know, Hunter, I know this sounds strange,
37:13but he's nearby. I can feel it.
37:17You still think this guy's pretty special, don't you?
37:21If anybody can pull off this contract, it's Gus.
37:23Edie, don't feel responsible for this guy.
37:27When Gus dropped that coal piece in the alley that night,
37:29he did it to himself.
37:33I just wish I didn't have to be the one to push the button.
37:37Well, you're the only one that could.
37:41It was a hard contract.
38:03Roger.
38:05He's on his way up.
38:07Damn it, Hunter, get out of here.
38:09I tried to have dispatch reach you, Captain.
38:11I got the call.
38:13Obviously, Terwilliger and I can take care
38:15of any kind of assassination attempt.
38:17Assassination attempt?
38:19Captain, I know Trankus. I can think like him.
38:21Get off the premises, the both of you.
38:23You're not on this detail.
38:25Sir, I can take care of Sergeant Hunter and Sergeant McCall
38:27if I have to march them all the way back to the station.
38:29You're not on this detail.
38:31Sir, I can take care of Sergeant Hunter and Sergeant McCall
38:33if I have to march them all the way back to the precinct.
38:39I think you've really done it this time, Hunter.
38:41I'm kind of surprised to see you here, Bernie.
38:43You know there's not one piece of graffiti
38:45on this entire hotel?
38:47I'll ignore that flip remark.
38:49Where are they going?
38:51The floor that Endicott is being held on
38:53is blocked off by ten security cops.
38:55I think they'll be safe for the night.
38:57We don't need you here. You can go home.
38:59Let me buy you dinner, Dee Dee.
39:03And I'll stay with you to make sure you stay in the restaurant
39:05and don't get in the way, Hunter.
39:11This number. He's in the hotel.
39:13Hunter, there are no 13 floors in a hotel.
39:15Hunter, there are no 13 floors in a hotel.
39:17Gus was a master with electronics. It was his hobby.
39:19He rewired all the elevator panels.
39:21What are you two sniveling about?
39:23You add the 13th floor, it throws the floor count off by one floor.
39:25You add the 13th floor, it throws the floor count off by one floor.
39:27Bernie, what floor are they holding Endicott on?
39:29You've got about as much chance of being voted Rose Queen
39:31as you do of getting that out of me, Hunter.
39:33Bernie!
39:35Oh, uh, 15.
39:37Okay, this elevator's gonna stop on 16.
39:39All the security police are gathered on the floor below.
39:41They'll walk right into an ambush.
39:43Hunter, are you saying that... Is there gonna be a shootout, Hunter?
39:45Stop the elevator.
39:47I've got a better chance of beating this thing to the top
39:49if I run the stairs.
39:51Stay with McCall, Bernie, and get your piece out.
39:57Hold on, Endicott. We'll be there in a second.
40:27I should have been here by now.
40:57Bernie!
41:11I've been hit!
41:13Bernie!
41:15They're shooting our bus!
41:27They're shooting our bus!
41:57They're shooting our bus!
42:27They're shooting our bus!
42:57You're under arrest, Gus.
42:59Drop it.
43:01You can't do it, McCall.
43:03But I can.
43:27You wanna try me, Gus?
43:31I'll blow your heart out.
43:33Are you okay, McCall?
43:37Damn it.
43:39Damn it, Gus, why?
43:41You sold me out.
43:43You ran, and now you gotta live with what happens to me.
43:45No way, man.
43:47No way.
43:49You gotta own this one all by yourself.
43:57How you doing, kid?
43:59It was great.
44:01How about a game of one-legged football?
44:03Yeah, I'll print.
44:05I made it! I made it.
44:07Public relations division. I have just been reassigned.
44:09Well, congratulations, Bernie.
44:11I guess several street artisans
44:13can breathe a sigh of relief
44:15knowing you're not gonna be out there.
44:17Uh, right after we talked to my cousin, Jilly,
44:19about Pyro,
44:21I told her I was gonna be out of town
44:23for a couple of days.
44:25Right after we talked to my cousin, Jilly,
44:27about Pyro, the tapes remind me to call my broker
44:29and let's order spray-paint stock.
44:31That's very funny, Hunter,
44:33but I think the captain's report said it all.
44:35I was the one that stood up at that gunfight.
44:37Cain has put me up for two. I repeat, two commendations.
44:39Bernie, you shot Captain Cain in the back.
44:41That has not been proved.
44:43Anyway, that's not what the official report says.
44:45So you're a real hero now, huh, Bernie?
44:47I am a hero
44:49on the way
44:51to public relations.
44:53Be careful.
44:55Don't choke on any martini, Alice.
44:57I'm gonna be so glad to get out of this crazy shoot-'em-up division.
44:59Even though I am one of the top shooters,
45:01I have spent enough time in the war zone.
45:05That'll be good for Bernie.
45:07Yeah.
45:09You know, I was just thinking about Gus.
45:11There was a time when I looked up to him.
45:13Hey, listen, Hunter.
45:15Wanna make a hard contract?
45:17With you? Anytime.
45:19You don't let me slide.
45:21Same for me.
45:23You won't slide. You're too hard-headed.
45:25Well, it can happen.
45:27Slowly, sometimes, maybe.
45:29Don't even know it's happening.
45:31Or it can happen fast, like with Bernie.
45:33Suck fish to hero in one shining moment.
45:35All he had to do was trigger our captain.
45:37I really don't see why this should make any...
45:39Excuse me! Uh, I have an announcement to make.
45:41I know that you're all concerned
45:43that a fine officer like Bernie Terwilliger
45:45is being reassigned.
45:47I don't blame you.
45:49I have first-hand proof
45:51that this officer reacts with courage under fire.
45:53Now, when this was brought to the attention
45:55of the deputy chief,
45:57he did the right thing.
45:59I have a memo sent from his office this morning.
46:01Sir, I don't see why...
46:03Due to the gallantry and heroism under fire,
46:05it is the view of this department
46:07that it would be pure folly
46:09to remove this courageous officer
46:11from his duties under fire.
46:13With this in mind, I have reconsidered
46:15his assignment in public relations
46:17and put him in the highest crime area of the city.
46:19I know all of us on the job
46:21can feel better
46:23knowing that Sergeant Terwilliger is out there
46:25standing shoulder to shoulder
46:27with the other fine officers of this division.
46:29That a boy, Bernie!
46:31I really much prefer that job in public relations.
46:33I say, Bernie,
46:35congratulations.
46:37Well, it seems
46:39there is a sudden justice in life at play, after all.
46:41Stop it, Hunter.
46:43It hurts when I laugh.
