Hunter (1984–1991): Season 1, Episode 11 - The Garbage Man - full transcript
When a parole officer is killed, the prime suspect is one of his charges. While Hunter and McCall try to find him, another parole officer is also trying to find and is going to extreme measures to find him. When Hunter finds the man, he tells Hunter that his parole suspected that another parole officer is killing other parolees so his parole officer asked him to help. So he altered his file to make it appear he's a violent criminal. Hunter thinks he knows who the killer is.
Garbage Collector!
Put 'Em Back Up!
Wait A Minute Now.
I'm A Parole Officer.
He's A Rapist.
The County
Doesn't Pay You
To Beat Up On
People Who Can't
Fight Back.
Now, You Stay Off Me,
Or You're Going
To Get Run Over.
Hey, Where The Hell
Did You Learn
To Drive, Woman?
Don't Worry About It.
Friday Night's Gonna Be Ok.
I Can't Wait.
You Throw The Gun
In Here, Sonny,
Or I'm Gonna Kill Her.
Drop The Gun, Colson!
Works For Me.

And I'll Bump You

You Lucky Bum.
You Filled Up, Didn't You?
Cost You A Buck
To Find Out.
[Telephone Rings]
Get That, Will You,
Doug?
Come On, Jerry,
Come On.
Did You Or
Didn't You, Huh?
Hello.
Yeah. Just A Minute.
Jerry, It's For You.
Yeah, Ok.
All Right.
I'll Keep You
Honest.
Good. Two Pair--
8S And 8S.
Whoo!
Poor Guy!
I Pulled
A Third Jack.
Yeah, This Is Walsh.
I Bet You
He Had 'Em Going In.
Is That Right, Dan?
Draw To 4 Of A Kind?
Dan Wouldn't Pull
A Dirty Trick Like That
On An Old Friend,
Would You?
Hey, You Bet
Your Life I Would.
The Name Of The Game
Is Win, Am I Right?
Yeah, Sure I Won,
But Not Tonight.
Look, I Put In
My 8 Hours Today.
That's All I Get
Paid For, Right?
If He's In Town,
I'll Pick Him Up
Tomorrow.
Next Week. Whenever.
Look, I'm Not
Going To Spend
The Entire Night
In Some Armpit Bar
Waiting For This
Geek To Show Up,
Not On The Word Of
A Coked-Up Snitch.
Look, I'll Talk
To You Tomorrow, Ok?
All Right.
What Was That About?
That Was The Watch Commander
Of The P.V. Search Unit.
They Got A Tip
That Sonny Dupree
Is Back In Town.
He's Going To Show Up
At Some Bar Later Tonight,
A Place Called Big Ed's
On Sebaco Street.
They Expect Me
To Go Down There
And Pick Him Up.
Sonny Dupree's
Back In Town?
Katy, Bar The Door!
Ha Ha Ha!
Who's Sonny Dupree?
Well, He's One
Of Jerry's
Favorite Boys.
What...You're
Gonna Adopt Him,
Aren't You, Jer?
He's A Rapist.
He Was Convicted
Of A Rape-Murder
Of A Coed At U.S.C.
A Few Years Back.
Isn't That Right,
Jerry?
Ucla.
The Supreme Court
Overturned The Conviction.
He's Been Up Twice
For Rape Since.
They Kicked Him Loose
On Parole Both Times.
So What Else Is New?
Weiker,
Deal The Cards.
It's Will's Deal.
If This Dude's As Bad
As You Say, I Mean,
Why Don't You Go Pick Him Up,
Keep Him Off The Streets?
Oh, You Got To Be Kidding.
I Know This Dude.
If He Does Show Up
At Big Ed's,
He's Gonna Be Wired Tight
On Cocaine And Booze,
And He'll Be Carrying Heat.
I Don't Need That.
Uh, You Know,
This Guy Used To Be
The Most
Conscientious,
The Most Dedicated
Parole Officer
In The Department.
How About That, Huh?
I Learned.
Don't Be The Best.
Be The Oldest.

[Music Stops]
Yeah, You're Right.
It's Real Open-And-Shut.
Ok, Look. How Do
I Spell "Dupree" Again?
D-U-P-R-Double E.
That's James, Right?
Ok, Thanks, Mr. Colson.
Look, I'll Be Down
In About An Hour
To Get That File.
You Gonna Be There?
Ok, Who Should
I Ask For?
Nina Sloan.
Sloan. Got It.
Ok. Thank You. Uh-Huh.
Bye-Bye.
Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh.
My Case.
That's The, Uh,
The Walsh Case, Right?
The Parole Officer
That Got Murdered?
Mm-Hmm.
You Need Any Help With That?
Nope, It's Real
Open-And-Shut.
The Shooter Was A Parole
Violator By The Name Of
Sonny Dupree Apparently.
All I Gotta Do Is Find
The Guy.
Missing Persons
Could Handle It.
Oh, Hunter...
Uh, About
Friday Night...
Friday Night.
With Me And Jack?
And Jack's Sister From
Poughkeepsie, New York.
Remember?
We're On, Right?
Well, I Said
I'd Think About It,
But I Didn't Say I'd Go.
Well, What's To Think About?
It's Gonna Be Great.
All You Gotta Do
Is Show Up.
It's Not Gonna Cost You
A Dime.
Jack's Gonna Pick Up
The Check.
Now, Look, Jack's Sister
Is Really Nice.
She's Very Pretty.
She's Bright.
She's A Lot Of Fun .
Yeah, So's A Collie.
Hunter, Would I Set You
Up With A Dog. Come On!
Are You Sure
You Don't Need Any Help
With That Walsh Case?
No, I Told You.
It's Easy.
It's Just
Open-And-Shut.
All I Gotta Do Is...
Find The...Guy.
Yeah,
I Probably Could Use
A Little Help
On The Case, Yeah.
Come On.
Mccall?
Uh, About Friday Night.
See, I, Uh, I Promised Gordo
I Was Going To Help Him
Paint His Mom's Apartment.
Maybe Another Time,
Though, Ok?
Hey, Mccall?
What Did You Do?
Get Turned Down By Every
Single Guy In The Precinct?
There Are Only 2 Excuses
I'll Accept For Being Late
For An Appointment.
Either You Were
In The Hospital
In Intensive Care,
Or You Were Already Dead.
Do You Understand Me, Boy?
Yes, Sir, I Do.
You Better,
Or You'll Find Yourself
Back In The Joint.
Now Get Out Of Here!
Ms. Sloan
Is Expecting You.
Right Over There.
Thanks.
Uh-Huh.
He Keeps Doin' That,
He's Not Gonna
Get Out Of Here
With Half
His Pension Funded.
Well, It's Got To Be
A Miserable Job
Working With People
Like That Every Day.
Hunter: Hi, Ms. Sloan?
I'm Sergeant Rick Hunter.
This Is My Partner
Dee Dee Mccall.
Sloan: How Do You Do?
Hi.
Mr. Colson Said You'd
Be Stopping By Today.
Yeah, For The File
On James Dupree.
Uh, Did You Get It?
Oh, Yes, It's Someplace
Here In This Mess.
I Started Work On Monday,
And They've Dumped
Mr. Walsh's Entire Caseload
Onto Me As You Can See.
Oh, Here. Here It Is.
Um...I Don't Know
If I Really Should
Let You Have This.
Parolee Files
Are Confidential,
You Know, And...
They're Only Available
To The Parole Department...
Give It To Them, Sloan.
They're On Our Side.
Mr. Donaldson--
Donaldson:
My Responsibility,
Sloan.
Donaldson:
I'm Sorry About That.
These Kids Come In Here,
Fresh Out Of College.
Is This All You Got
On This Sonny Dupree
Character,
Is A--A Rundown Of His
Arrests And Convictions?
And His Parole Record.
And If He Reported
Regularly And On Time,
His Job Record's
Like That.
We've Got So Many Cases
That If We Kept A Full
Jacket On Each Parolee,
We Wouldn't Have Room
For Anything Else.
Not A Very Solid Citizen,
Is He?
If The System Was Running
The Way It Should,
They'd Have Given Him
The Gas Chamber
The First Time.
Jerry Walsh
Was A Real Good Man.
So If You Don't Bring
Dupree Back Alive,
Nobody's Gonna Say Boo.
Well, Are You Sure Sonny
Did This?
Oh, I Know Jerry Was After Him
For A Couple Of Months
To Throw His Butt
Back In Prison
For Parole Violation.
Got A Tip Last Night
He Was Back In Town.
He Went Out After Him.
You Know What's Weird
About This?
When Jerry
Got The Phone Call,
He Said He Wasn't Going
To Go After Dupree.
Uh, It's Too Dangerous.
Dan Kidded Him About It,
Remember?
So? He Changed His Mind.
You Sure About That?
Look. He Was Killed Not
2 Blocks From Big Ed's Bar,
Which Is Where Dupree
Was Last Night.
And He Was After Dupree
For A Couple Of Months.
I Mean, He Had A Real Burn
On Putting Sonny Back
In The Slammer.
He Talked About It
All The Time.
I Mean, Dupree Isn't
Exactly What You'd Call
One Of Nature's
Noblemen,
But, Uh, Jerry's Dealt
With Worse. We All Have.
But If It Was, Uh, Dan,
Then I Could
Understand It.
Hunter: Dan?
Colson.
He's A Real Hard Case.
Yeah, Where Is Colson?
I Called Him. He Said
He Was Gonna Be Here.
He Went Out
A Little While Ago.
I Think He Went After
Sonny Himself,
And I'll Tell You
Something.
If He Finds Him,
They're Gonna Need To Pick Up
What's Left Of Him
With A Blotter.

Now You Let Me Know
What's Happening,

Hunter: It Just
May Be You, Buddy,
If You
So Much As Blink.
Now Just
Take It Easy
And Drop The Gun
Right Back
On The Bed.
Now Clasp Your Hands
Behind Your Head.
Atta Boy.
What's Going On Here?
Who Are You People?
Don't Worry About
It, Mrs. Dupree.
We're The Police.
Hey, If You're The Cops,
We're On The Same Side.
Hey, Put 'Em Back Up.
Wait A Minute Now.
I'm A Parole Officer.
I'm Dan Colson.
My Creds Are In My--
In My Right Hand Pocket
Of My Jacket.
Mrs. Dupree:
He Broke In Here.
He Didn't Ring Or Anything.
He Just Smashed In The Door.
You Saw What He Did.
Well, Don't Worry.
He's Not Going To Hurt
Either You Or Your Child.
What's The Idea Of
Treating These People
Like This, Colson?
Who The Hell
Do You Think You Are?
Her Husband
Killed A Parole Officer,
My Buddy For 20 Years,
And She's Harboring Him.
Dupree Is Only A Suspect
Right Now, Colson.
Now, You May Have
Probable Cause
To Come In Here,
But Not To Terrorize
These People And Bust
This Place Up.
He's A Parole Violator.
Now, I Have The Right
To Bust In Any Place I Want
Where I Think He's Hiding.
Sonny Didn't
Violate His Parole.
He's Got A Regular Job.
He's Leading
A Straight Life.
Sure. Can I Take My Hands
Down Now?
That Still Doesn't
Give You Any Right
To Terrorize A Woman
And A Child, Colson.
Listen, Before You Two
Start Shedding Tears
For These People,
You Ask Yourself
How Many Cops Are Dead
Because Some Parole Officer
Was Too Soft On Guys Like
Sonny...
And His Family.
Hey, Colson.
More Cops Get Hurt
Because Jerks Like You
Butt Into Their Business.
So Why Don't You Butt Out?
[Door Slams]
Mrs. Dupree:
That Terrible Man.
I Mean,
Breaking Into My House And
Terrorizing Us Like That?
Why Didn't You Arrest Him?
Well, I Know It Isn't
Much Of A Consolation,
But, Uh...
The Law Gives Him
That Right.
Look, I Know Sonny
Broke The Law,
And He Has To Pay For That.
But He Never
Meant To Hurt Anybody.
And To Put Him
Under The Thumb Of A Man
Who's A Worse Criminal
Than He Ever Was--
Mrs. Dupree, Do You Know
That Your Husband
Hasn't Checked In
With His Parole Officer
In The Last 5 Or 6
Weeks?
That's Not True.
Sonny Goes Every
Wednesday Morning At 10:00
Like Clockwork.
Ask Mr. Walsh,
His Parole Officer.
Well, I'm Afraid
We Won't Be Able
To Do That.
You See, Jerry Walsh
Was Murdered Last Night.
Ohh...God...
Mrs. Dupree,
Where Was Sonny
Last Night?
He Was Home.
If He Wasn't At Home
And You're Lying,
Don't.
You'll Only
Make It Worse
For Both Of You.
Minutes Before Jerry
Was Murdered Last Night,
Your Husband Was Seen
Leaving A Bar
Just 2 Blocks Away.
Sonny Didn't Do It!
He Couldn't.
He's Not A Killer.
Well,
He Did Kill A Girl,
And He Did Go To Jail
For It.
He Was Drunk, And He Ran
Her Down, And She Died.
Look...
I'm Grateful To You
For Stopping That Man.
But I Don't Have Anything
More To Say To You.
So Please Go. Please.
Thank You.

You Answer Nice And Polite.
Well, If It Isn't Sergeant
Hearts And Sergeant Flowers,
The Miranda Twins.
You Read Any Good Rights
Lately? Heh Heh Heh.
Hey, Colson.
What The Hell You
Doing Around Here?
My Job, Hunter.
Oh, Come On.
The County
Doesn't Pay You
To Beat Up On People
Who Can't Fight Back.
They're Garbage. I'm Trying
To Keep The Streets Clean.
Give Me A Break, Huh?
Let Me Tell You
Something Once,
And Once And For All.
This Is Now A Homicide
Investigation.
That Makes It My Turf.
You Stay Off Of It.
Hey, I've Got
Jurisdiction Here,
As Much As Anybody.
That Scum Killed My Buddy.
Now, You Stay Off Me,
Or I'm Gonna Run You Over.
Hey, Sammy, Let Me Talk
To You For A Minute, Huh?
Ohh. First Colson
And Now You.
My Day Is Made.
Hey, Look, Man, If
You Know Where Sonny Is
And You're
Covering For Him,
You Could Be Up For
Obstruction Of Justice.
Justice?
Guy's On Parole,
He's A Punching Bag
For Anybody With
A Badge To Work Out On.
And You Wonder
Why Cops Get Killed.
Are You Saying He Offed
His Parole Officer
Because He Got Punched Out?
Don't Put Words
In My Mouth.
I Didn't Talk To Colson,
And I Ain't Talkin'
To You,
So Bug Off, Lady, Huh?
You Gotta Be Kiddin'.
Jerry Walsh Was Like
A Father To Sonny.
I Mean It.
They Were Like--Like
Father And Son.
Ahh, Sonny Couldn't
Have Killed Him.
Sonny Couldn't Have
Killed Anybody.
Yeah, But His First
Conviction Was
For Killing That Girl.
All Right,
He Killed A Girl.
He Was Drunk
Out Of His Mind,
And He Didn't See Her
In A Crosswalk And--
Oh, Come On. I Saw
Walsh's File On The Guy.
He Had Him Down As
A 3-Time Convicted Rapist,
And One Of The Rapes
Included Murder.
That's Crazy, Hunter.
Jerry's The Guy That
Brought Sonny To Me.
He Got Me To Hire Him.
He Told Me
What He Had Done.
He Told Me Where
He Was At And Said,
"All The Guy Needs Is
A Job, And He'll Be Ok."
And That's Just The Way
It Was.
Sonny Never
Took A Drink, Never
Missed A Day's Work.
And As Far As I Know,
He Never Missed
A Single Day's
Reporting To Jerry.
Yeah, Well, How Come
He's Not Here. Where Is He?
I Don't Know.
Maybe He's Sick.
Look,
You Want Someone Maybe
Who Could Help You?
You Talk To Ramos.
Him And Sonny
Are Real Tight.
You Ask Him.
Man: Hey, Lubbock.
Come Here.
So, How'd You Do
With Ramos?
Not Even Squat.
Think I Should Try It?
No, It's A Waste Of Time.
You Know What
Really Bothers Me?
What?
We Got 2 Sonnys Here.
We've Got A Jekyll
And A Hyde.
Yeah?
Yeah, I Mean,
Take A Look At This.
The Guys In The Parole Office
Turn Us On To A Sonny
Who Is A Killer-Rapist.
He's Been Nailed 3 Times,
Violated His Parole,
And Killed His P.O. To Stay
Out Of The Slammer, Right?
Right.
And Then We Talk To His Wife
And Sam Lubbock And Ramos,
And They Give Us This Sonny
Who's A Hardworking,
Loving, Devoted Father
Whose Only Crime
Was Committed While
He Was Under The Influence.
So, What You're Saying
Is You Think That
Maybe Walsh Is Trying
To Frame Sonny?
It's Worth Checking Into.
Yeah, Go Ahead.
I Want To Stick
Around Here And See
If Sonny Shows Up.
If He Doesn't,
I Want To See If Ramos
And Sam Lead Me To Him.
Ok, I'll Get A Cab.
See If You Can Get A Tap
Put On Dupree's Phone
In Case
He Calls His Wife.
Yeah. Good Idea.
Oh, And, Hunter?
Listen, Friday Night...
Wear A Tie, Ok? We're
Going Someplace Real Nice.
Oh, Wait A Minute.
How Old Is This Lady?
Jack's Sister.
How Old Is She?
[Car Door Slams]
I Just Wanted To Know
How Old She Was.
I'm Sorry To Have
Kept You Waiting
For So Long,
Sergeant Mccall,
But I Had To Run This
Through The Computer
3 Times,
And It's Still Wrong.
What's The Problem?
Here. You Can See
For Yourself.
According To This,
Dupree's No Rapist.
He's A Drunk Driver.
Vehicular Manslaughter?
Are You Sure This Is
The Right James Dupree?
I Checked. He's The Only
One The Computer Says
Is In The Central Files.
"Time Off For Good Behavior.
No Parole Violations."
Walsh Must Have Known That
The Rap Sheet In His File
Was A Fake.
The Computer's Off.
It Has To Be.
Here, Let Me Run It
Through Again, And I--
N-N-No, That's Ok.
It's All Right.
Thanks.
Excuse Me, Sergeant Mccall.
Uh...
You Work With Sergeant Hunter
All The Time, Right?
Yeah, We're Partners.
Why?
Well, I Was Just Wondering.
Um...Are You...
Is He Attached?
Radio: L-56...Dispatcher.
This Is L-56. Go Ahead.
I Got A Patch Call
From Mccall, Hunter.
Hold On A Second.
Go Ahead, Mccall.
Hunter?
Did You Get That Tap
Put On Sonny's Phone Yet?
Yeah, It Didn't Work.
But We'd Better
Stop Looking
For The Bad Mr. Hyde
And Start Looking
For The Good Dr.Jekyll.
Oh, You Mean
He's Not A Rapist
And All Those Good Things?
He's Clean?
Just Like His Wife
And Sam Said,
He's Only Been Up
For Vehicular
Manslaughter.
Well, Then Why Is
The Guy Running?
Well, When We Find Him,
I'll Ask Him.
What Do You Mean, "We"?
Where Are You?
About A Half A Block
In Front Of You.
Now, Look, Mom,
I Appreciate It,
But I Think I Can Handle
This Stakeout By Myself.
Then You Already Know
You've Grown A Tail?
Tail? What Do You Mean?
Colson. He's A Couple
Cars Behind Me.
Uh, There Goes
My Pigeon Now, Mccall.
Do Me A Favor And Get Colson
Off My Back, Will You?
Hey, Look, Hunter,
I'll Take Ramos,
And You Follow
Colson, Ok?
If Any Car's Gonna
Get Creamed Here--
Be A Pal, Will You?
If I Make A Sharp
Right-Hand Turn
In This Crate,
The Front End's
Gonna Fall Off.
[Click]
[Horn Honking]
Hey, Where The Hell
Did You Learn To Drive,
Woman?
Mccall?
Why Don't You Get
That Piece Of Garbage
Off The Street
Before You Get A Ticket
For Littering, Colson?
Hey, I'm Gonna Have You
Up On Charges,
Do You Hear Me?
Do You Hear Me--
I'm Gonna Have You Up
On Charges!
[Tires Squealing]
[Car Door Closes]
Move One Muscle,
You Won't Have
Anything Left
To Hang
Your Ears On.
You Have The Right
To Remain Silent, Sonny.
You Also Have
The Right To Your Choice
Of An Attorney.
You're A Regular
Comedian, Hunter.
You're Not Being
Very Smart Here,
Sonny.
You're Adding
Kidnapping, Assault,
Resisting Arrest
To Suspicion
Of Murder.
You're Digging
Yourself A Pretty
Big Hole Here.
I Didn't Kill Him.
You Were Seen
Leaving Big Ed's
Last Night,
Minutes Before Walsh
Was Killed.
I've Got A Witness
To That.
Don't Talk To Him, Sonny.
He's Only Gonna Twist
What You Say All Around
And Set You Up!
Look, Ramos, Why
Don't You Go Outside
And Get Some
Fresh Air? It'll
Clear Your Fat Head.
I'll Clear Your Head, Man!
I'll Clear It
Real Good!
Look, I Got
Enough Problems
Without That.
Why Don't You Go
Downstairs And, Uh,
See If Anyone's
Hanging Around?
Give Me The Gun.
He Tries Something,
Sonny...
Yeah. I'll Holler.
He's Good People--Ramos.
He Got A Raw Deal,
And He Turned
A Little Crazy.
Look, Sonny, I Ran
A Full Make On You.
All I Could
Come Up With Is
A Flock Of 502S
And One Conviction
For Vehicular
Homicide.
Now, Since You've
Been Out On Parole,
You've Been Clean
As Snow.
Now, Why Does Walsh
Have You Down
As A 3-Time
Convicted Rapist
And A Parole
Absconder?
It Was A Trap,
And I Was The Bait.
He Said There Was
Some Guy Out There
Murdering Parolees,
Some Nut Who Thought
He Was Protecting
The Public
From The Rapists
And The Murderers
That The System
Was Putting Back
On The Streets.
Well, Did He Say Who
He Thought It Was?
No. He Just Said
That, Uh,
The Guy Had Already
Murdered 6 Parolees
And That If He,
Uh, You Know,
If He Could Set Me Up
So He Went After Me,
He Could Nail Him.
And You Went Along
With That?
Hey, Jerry
Turned My Life Around.
If It Wasn't For Him,
I'd Be Falling-Down Drunk.
I Mean, No Wife, No Kid,
No Job, Nothing.
I'd Have Done Anything
That Man Asked.
So What Went Down
Last Night, Sonny?
Early In The Day,
Jerry Called Me
And Told Me
He Thought
The Time Was Right.
He Gave Me A Phone Number
And Told Me
To Call At 10:00 That Night
And Ask For Him.
He Said Not To Pay
Any Attention To What
He Said Over The Phone.
I Was Just To Go
To A Bar He'd Mention
In The Conversation,
A Place Called Big Ed's,
And I Was To Be Sure
To Leave It At 1:30
On The Nose
And Start Heading East.
Jerry Said He'd Be There,
I Wasn't To Worry.
I Thought The Footsteps
I Heard Behind Me
Were Jerry's,
But I Couldn't Be Sure,
And What If It Wasn't?
What If He Couldn't Make It
For Some Reason?
[Can Clanks, Cat Snarls]
I Wanted To Yell Out.
I Wanted To Jump Up And Grab
That Guy By The Throat
And Bash His Head
Against The Walls,
But I Couldn't Move.
I Couldn't Breathe.
I Was--
Like I Was Frozen There
Behind The Garbage Cans.
Hunter:
Did You See The Guy?
Yeah, I Saw Him.
Almost As Clear
As I See You.
Was It Dan Colson?
He Was Another
Parole Officer That
Worked With Walsh.
He Was Supposed
To Be His Friend.
I Don't Know.
And, Uh, I Never
Saw Him Up There,
And Jerry Never
Told Me About Him.
But If It's The Guy
Who Killed Jerry,
I Can I.D. Him.
Get Me Out Of Here,
Sonny. Come On.
What, So You Can
Take Me In? No Dice.
Look, There's
A Warrant Out
For Your Arrest.
I've Got
To Take You In.
Besides, I Need You
To Finger Colson
So I Can Nail Him.
And Who's Gonna
Believe Me?
Sorry, Hunter.
The Guy Who Killed Jerry,
He's Out After Me.
I'll Take My Chances.
On My Own.
Hey, Wait A Minute.
You're Not Going
To Leave Me In Here
Hooked Up Like This,
Are--
Here.
I Don't Need It.
That'll Hold You.
I Don't Need This.
Sorry, Hunter.
Hey...
Sonny!
[Door Closes]
Radio: L-56,
Come In, Please.
L-56, Come In.
L-56, Come In.
[Trying Door Handle]
L-56, Come In.
This Is L-56. Over.
Stand By For
Sergeant Mccall, L-56.
Hunter?
Where Have You Been?
I've Been Trying
To Find You
For The Last
Half Hour.
Oh, I've Had
A Little Radiator
Problem.
Then You're Ok?
I Didn't Know
You Cared.
Of Course I Do. Look,
I'd Hate To Disappoint
Jack's Sister.
She's Really Looking
Forward To Meeting You.
[Click]
Hunter?
Hunter.
I Fold.
Me, Too.
Natural Flush,
All I Get Is The Ante.
This Is Lousy,
3-Handed.
I Think I'm Going Home.
Me, Too.
Hi, Fellas.
I Just Stopped By.
I Thought
You Might Need
Another
Card Partner.
It's All Right
With Me.
Makes For
A Better Game
Than 3-Handed.
Dan?
Well, As Long As
His Money Is U.S. Of "A."
What's The Game?
It's Dealer's Choice,
Quarter And A Half.
New Player Deals.
Ok To Check And Raise?
Anything Goes, As Long
As You Don't Get Caught.
How About A Little
Pete Loftus Stud?
Only Pete Loftus
I Know Is A Parolee.
Was A Parolee.
He's Dead.
He Was Murdered
About 6 Months Ago.
Your Bet.
A Kidder.
Is That Why They Named
The Game After Him,
In Memoriam?
I Think
It Was Pete...
Or Dum-Dum Madigan.
Or Was It
Feets Jackson?
Hey, I Don't Get This.
All Those Guys Are Parolees.
Dead Parolees,
Weiker.
There Were
12 Of Them.
All A Part Of This
Tight Little Group
Of Yours.
All Shot Down
In Cold Blood.
So, Big Deal.
These Guys Are Always Getting
Themselves Knocked Off.
By Their Parole Officers?
Hey, What Kind Of Garbage
Are You Dishing Out Here?
Well, I'm Just Following
Up On What Your Friend
Walsh Found Out.
I Mean, That Is Why
You Killed Him,
Isn't It?
Because He Found Out
It Was You.
Hey, Sonny Dupree
Killed Jerry Walsh,
And Everybody
Knows About It.
Now, Are We
Playing Cards Here
Or What?
I've Got A Witness
Who Saw The Whole Thing
Go Down, Colson,
And He Describes You
To A "T."
So Arrest Me.
No, No,
Not Right Now.
I've Got Some
Loose Ends I Want
To Tie Up First,
But When I Do,
I'll Know Where
To Find You.
You're Runnin' A Bluff.
Hey, Damn It, Hunter,
I Mean, I Don't Know Why
You're Doing This
Or What You Think
You Got Here,
But I For One Resent
What You're Doing
To Dan.
Now, Either You
Back Off, Or I'm Going
To File A Complaint.
Well, That's
Your Prerogative,
Weiker.
But If I Was You,
I'd Read
That Printout First.
It's Got Sonny Dupree's
Rap Sheet On It
Out Of Central Files,
Not The One Walsh Dummied Up
To Nail The Murderer.
See You Guys.
What? I Don't Believe This.
What?
Dupree's A Drunk Driver.
Let Me See It.
[Telephone Rings]
I'll Get It.
[Ring]
Yeah?
Thanks.
Dan, When Jerry
Got That Call
About Dupree,
Didn't He Say
He Wasn't Going Out
After Him,
That It Was
Too Dangerous?
I Don't Know.
I Don't Remember.
Sure You Do.
You Kidded Him About
Once Having Been
The Most
Conscientious
Parole Officer
In The Department.
Well, So He
Changed His Mind.
Now, Look, I Just Got
An Important Phone Call,
And I Got To Get
Out Of Here.

In The First Place,
He Wouldn't Be
In Danger Now.
Yeah, But He Didn't,
And I Let Dan Get Loose.
[Telephone Rings]
Mccall.
Yeah. I've Asked
About That Tap
Twice Now.
You're Kidding Me!
What?
Ok, Thanks.
They Refused
Our Request For A Tap
On The Dupree Phone.
Well, They Can't Do That.
We've Got Cause.
Colson Beat Us To It.
He Put One On
About 4 Hours Before
We Applied For Ours.
I'm Going To Call
Mrs. Dupree.
[Ring]
Hello?
Hello, Mrs. Dupree?
This Is
Sergeant Mccall.
Have You Heard
From Your Husband?
Why, No, I Haven't.
You Sure?
Yes. I'm Positive.
Ok. Well,
Uh, If He Does
Contact You,
Warn Him
Not To Say Anything
That Will Give Away
His Whereabouts.
Your Phone's Tapped.
Mrs. Dupree, Did
You Understand That?
Yes.
I Understand.
Thank You.
Uh, That's A Phone,
Mccall, Remember?
Mrs. Dupree Said
Sonny Didn't Call.
So?
So The Way She
Said It, I--I Don't
Believe Her.
But Why Would She Lie?
I Don't Know.
She Sounded Scared.
Look, About This
Woman's Intuition Business,
I--You Know, I've Done
A Study On This--
Communications,
Please.
[Disguising Voice]
Ah, Yes,
Communications?
This Is,
Uh, Nina Sloan
At The Parole
Bureau.
To Whom
Am I Speaking?
This Is Lieutenant Dekker.
How May I Help You,
Miss Sloan?
Yes. I'd Like
To Know If There
Has Been Any Traffic
On 555-7273.
Yeah, That's The Tap
That Colson Had Put
On The Dupree Phone.
Hold It, And
I'll Look It Up For You.
Thank You.
There Was A...
Incoming Call
To That Number
At 2:47 P.M.
From An Unnamed
Male Caller.
There Was A Second Call
From A Female,
A Sergeant Mccall
Whom We've Identified
As A Member Of The Lapd.
Oh, Yes, Yes, We
Already Have That,
But Could You Please
Give Me The Readout
On The 2:47 Call?
I Already Gave
A Readout To Mr. Colson.
Didn't He Tell You?
No. Uh...
I Was Out
Of The Office Then,
And He Is Now,
But Our Supervisor
Would Really Like
That Information,
So If It's
No Bother...
No Bother, Miss Sloan.

We'll Play That Way.
Come On,
Let's Go Get Sonny.
No!
You Throw The Gun
In Here, Sonny,
Or I'm Gonna Kill Her.
All Right.
Don't Hurt Her.
[Drops Gun]
Let Her Go.
Now, That Was
A Real Dumb Move.
See, You Should've Run
When You Had The Chance,
But Now--Aah!

[Screech]
Driver: I Didn't See Him.
I Didn't See Him!
Get Out. Get Out!
[Tires Squealing]
Drop The Gun,
Colson!
Hunter, Let Me
Get Rid Of This Guy.
He's Nothing But Garbage.
I Said Drop It.
Now.
Sonny!
Sonny!
Drop The Gun,
Colson!
All Right. Ok!
Take It Easy.
How's He Doing?
He's Busted Up Some,
But He'll Be Ok.
How's Colson?

Has To Do Now
Is Pick Him Up
With The Trash
And Take Him Away.

It's Friday Night.
Yeah, Well,

Uh...Well,

That's Great, Mccall.

How's That?
Whoa.
You Look Handsome.
Well, Thank You.
You Going Out?
Well, Yeah, Kind Of.
Yeah.
Aww...Tch.
I Knew I Should've
Called Before.
I Wanted To Invite
You To Dinner
To Thank You For
Not Making Things Hard
For Sonny Dupree
And--And Ramos.
You Could've Had
Their Parole Revoked
For What They Did
To You.
Maybe Another Time.
Oh, Hey,
Wait, Nina.
Hey, Look. Ah, Look,
I See Mccall All The Time.
We Can Have
Lunch Or Dinner
Some Other Time,
And Besides,
Her...Her Taste In Food
Is Not Really Mine.
I'd Love To Have
Dinner With You.
What Would You
Like To Eat?
Uh, You Won't Believe
This, But...
I'd Really Like
A Chili Dog.
Excuse Me.
Put 'Em Back Up!
Wait A Minute Now.
I'm A Parole Officer.
He's A Rapist.
The County
Doesn't Pay You
To Beat Up On
People Who Can't
Fight Back.
Now, You Stay Off Me,
Or You're Going
To Get Run Over.
Hey, Where The Hell
Did You Learn
To Drive, Woman?
Don't Worry About It.
Friday Night's Gonna Be Ok.
I Can't Wait.
You Throw The Gun
In Here, Sonny,
Or I'm Gonna Kill Her.

I Pulled
A Third Jack.
Yeah, This Is Walsh.
I Bet You
He Had 'Em Going In.
Is That Right, Dan?

Dan Wouldn't Pull
A Dirty Trick Like That

Would You?
Hey, You Bet

Is Win, Am I Right?
Yeah, Sure I Won,
But Not Tonight.
Look, I Put In
My 8 Hours Today.
That's All I Get
Paid For, Right?
If He's In Town,
I'll Pick Him Up
Tomorrow.
Next Week. Whenever.
Look, I'm Not
Going To Spend
The Entire Night
In Some Armpit Bar
Waiting For This
Geek To Show Up,
Not On The Word Of
A Coked-Up Snitch.
Look, I'll Talk
To You Tomorrow, Ok?
All Right.
What Was That About?
That Was The Watch Commander
Of The P.V. Search Unit.
They Got A Tip
That Sonny Dupree
Is Back In Town.
He's Going To Show Up
At Some Bar Later Tonight,
A Place Called Big Ed's
On Sebaco Street.
They Expect Me
To Go Down There
And Pick Him Up.
Sonny Dupree's
Back In Town?
Katy, Bar The Door!
Ha Ha Ha!
Who's Sonny Dupree?
Well, He's One
Of Jerry's
Favorite Boys.
What...You're
Gonna Adopt Him,
Aren't You, Jer?
He's A Rapist.
He Was Convicted
Of A Rape-Murder
Of A Coed At U.S.C.
A Few Years Back.
Isn't That Right,
Jerry?
Ucla.
The Supreme Court
Overturned The Conviction.
He's Been Up Twice
For Rape Since.
They Kicked Him Loose
On Parole Both Times.
So What Else Is New?
Weiker,
Deal The Cards.
It's Will's Deal.
If This Dude's As Bad
As You Say, I Mean,
Why Don't You Go Pick Him Up,
Keep Him Off The Streets?
Oh, You Got To Be Kidding.
I Know This Dude.
If He Does Show Up
At Big Ed's,
He's Gonna Be Wired Tight
On Cocaine And Booze,
And He'll Be Carrying Heat.
I Don't Need That.
Uh, You Know,
This Guy Used To Be
The Most
Conscientious,
The Most Dedicated

That Got Murdered?
Mm-Hmm.
You Need Any Help With That?
Nope, It's Real
Open-And-Shut.
The Shooter Was A Parole
Violator By The Name Of
Sonny Dupree Apparently.
All I Gotta Do Is Find
The Guy.
Missing Persons
Could Handle It.
Oh, Hunter...
Uh, About
Friday Night...
Friday Night.
With Me And Jack?
And Jack's Sister From
Poughkeepsie, New York.
Remember?
We're On, Right?
Well, I Said
I'd Think About It,
But I Didn't Say I'd Go.
Well, What's To Think About?
It's Gonna Be Great.
All You Gotta Do
Is Show Up.
It's Not Gonna Cost You
A Dime.
Jack's Gonna Pick Up
The Check.
Now, Look, Jack's Sister
Is Really Nice.
She's Very Pretty.
She's Bright.
She's A Lot Of Fun .
Yeah, So's A Collie.
Hunter, Would I Set You
Up With A Dog. Come On!
Are You Sure
You Don't Need Any Help
With That Walsh Case?
No, I Told You.
It's Easy.
It's Just
Open-And-Shut.
All I Gotta Do Is...
Find The...Guy.
Yeah,
I Probably Could Use
A Little Help
On The Case, Yeah.
Come On.
Mccall?
Uh, About Friday Night.
See, I, Uh, I Promised Gordo
I Was Going To Help Him
Paint His Mom's Apartment.
Maybe Another Time,
Though, Ok?
Hey, Mccall?
What Did You Do?
Get Turned Down By Every
Single Guy In The Precinct?
There Are Only 2 Excuses
I'll Accept For Being Late
For An Appointment.
Either You Were
In The Hospital
In Intensive Care,
Or You Were Already Dead.
Do You Understand Me, Boy?
Yes, Sir, I Do.
You Better,
Or You'll Find Yourself
Back In The Joint.
Now Get Out Of Here!
Ms. Sloan
Is Expecting You.
Right Over There.
Thanks.
Uh-Huh.
He Keeps Doin' That,
He's Not Gonna
Get Out Of Here
With Half
His Pension Funded.
Well, It's Got To Be
A Miserable Job
Working With People
Like That Every Day.
Hunter: Hi, Ms. Sloan?
I'm Sergeant Rick Hunter.
This Is My Partner
Dee Dee Mccall.
Sloan: How Do You Do?
Hi.
Mr. Colson Said You'd
Be Stopping By Today.
Yeah, For The File
On James Dupree.
Uh, Did You Get It?
Oh, Yes, It's Someplace
Here In This Mess.
I Started Work On Monday,
And They've Dumped
Mr. Walsh's Entire Caseload
Onto Me As You Can See.
Oh, Here. Here It Is.
Um...I Don't Know
If I Really Should
Let You Have This.
Parolee Files
Are Confidential,
You Know, And...
They're Only Available
To The Parole Department...
Give It To Them, Sloan.
They're On Our Side.
Mr. Donaldson--
Donaldson:
My Responsibility,
Sloan.
Donaldson:
I'm Sorry About That.
These Kids Come In Here,
Fresh Out Of College.
Is This All You Got
On This Sonny Dupree
Character,
Is A--A Rundown Of His
Arrests And Convictions?
And His Parole Record.
And If He Reported
Regularly And On Time,
His Job Record's
Like That.
We've Got So Many Cases
That If We Kept A Full
Jacket On Each Parolee,
We Wouldn't Have Room
For Anything Else.
Not A Very Solid Citizen,
Is He?
If The System Was Running
The Way It Should,
They'd Have Given Him
The Gas Chamber
The First Time.
Jerry Walsh
Was A Real Good Man.
So If You Don't Bring
Dupree Back Alive,
Nobody's Gonna Say Boo.
Well, Are You Sure Sonny
Did This?
Oh, I Know Jerry Was After Him
For A Couple Of Months
To Throw His Butt
Back In Prison
For Parole Violation.
Got A Tip Last Night
He Was Back In Town.
He Went Out After Him.
You Know What's Weird
About This?
When Jerry
Got The Phone Call,
He Said He Wasn't Going
To Go After Dupree.
Uh, It's Too Dangerous.
Dan Kidded Him About It,
Remember?
So? He Changed His Mind.
You Sure About That?
Look. He Was Killed Not
2 Blocks From Big Ed's Bar,
Which Is Where Dupree
Was Last Night.
And He Was After Dupree
For A Couple Of Months.
I Mean, He Had A Real Burn
On Putting Sonny Back
In The Slammer.
He Talked About It
All The Time.
I Mean, Dupree Isn't
Exactly What You'd Call
One Of Nature's
Noblemen,
But, Uh, Jerry's Dealt
With Worse. We All Have.
But If It Was, Uh, Dan,
Then I Could
Understand It.
Hunter: Dan?
Colson.
He's A Real Hard Case.
Yeah, Where Is Colson?
I Called Him. He Said
He Was Gonna Be Here.
He Went Out
A Little While Ago.
I Think He Went After
Sonny Himself,
And I'll Tell You
Something.
If He Finds Him,
They're Gonna Need To Pick Up
What's Left Of Him
With A Blotter.

He Didn't Ring Or Anything.
He Just Smashed In The Door.
You Saw What He Did.
Well, Don't Worry.
He's Not Going To Hurt
Either You Or Your Child.
What's The Idea Of
Treating These People
Like This, Colson?
Who The Hell
Do You Think You Are?
Her Husband
Killed A Parole Officer,
My Buddy For 20 Years,
And She's Harboring Him.
Dupree Is Only A Suspect
Right Now, Colson.
Now, You May Have
Probable Cause
To Come In Here,
But Not To Terrorize
These People And Bust
This Place Up.
He's A Parole Violator.
Now, I Have The Right
To Bust In Any Place I Want
Where I Think He's Hiding.
Sonny Didn't
Violate His Parole.
He's Got A Regular Job.
He's Leading
A Straight Life.
Sure. Can I Take My Hands
Down Now?
That Still Doesn't
Give You Any Right
To Terrorize A Woman
And A Child, Colson.
Listen, Before You Two
Start Shedding Tears
For These People,
You Ask Yourself
How Many Cops Are Dead
Because Some Parole Officer
Was Too Soft On Guys Like
Sonny...
And His Family.
Hey, Colson.
More Cops Get Hurt
Because Jerks Like You
Butt Into Their Business.
So Why Don't You Butt Out?
[Door Slams]
Mrs. Dupree:
That Terrible Man.
I Mean,
Breaking Into My House And
Terrorizing Us Like That?
Why Didn't You Arrest Him?
Well, I Know It Isn't
Much Of A Consolation,
But, Uh...
The Law Gives Him
That Right.
Look, I Know Sonny
Broke The Law,
And He Has To Pay For That.
But He Never
Meant To Hurt Anybody.
And To Put Him
Under The Thumb Of A Man
Who's A Worse Criminal
Than He Ever Was--
Mrs. Dupree, Do You Know
That Your Husband
Hasn't Checked In
With His Parole Officer
In The Last 5 Or 6
Weeks?
That's Not True.
Sonny Goes Every
Wednesday Morning At 10:00
Like Clockwork.
Ask Mr. Walsh,
His Parole Officer.
Well, I'm Afraid
We Won't Be Able
To Do That.
You See, Jerry Walsh
Was Murdered Last Night.
Ohh...God...
Mrs. Dupree,
Where Was Sonny
Last Night?
He Was Home.
If He Wasn't At Home
And You're Lying,
Don't.
You'll Only
Make It Worse
For Both Of You.
Minutes Before Jerry
Was Murdered Last Night,
Your Husband Was Seen
Leaving A Bar
Just 2 Blocks Away.
Sonny Didn't Do It!
He Couldn't.
He's Not A Killer.
Well,
He Did Kill A Girl,
And He Did Go To Jail
For It.
He Was Drunk, And He Ran
Her Down, And She Died.
Look...
I'm Grateful To You
For Stopping That Man.
But I Don't Have Anything
More To Say To You.
So Please Go. Please.
Thank You.

I Ask You Questions,
You Answer Nice And Polite.
Well, If It Isn't Sergeant
Hearts And Sergeant Flowers,
The Miranda Twins.
You Read Any Good Rights
Lately? Heh Heh Heh.
Hey, Colson.
What The Hell You
Doing Around Here?
My Job, Hunter.
Oh, Come On.
The County
Doesn't Pay You
To Beat Up On People
Who Can't Fight Back.
They're Garbage. I'm Trying
To Keep The Streets Clean.
Give Me A Break, Huh?
Let Me Tell You
Something Once,
And Once And For All.
This Is Now A Homicide
Investigation.
That Makes It My Turf.
You Stay Off Of It.
Hey, I've Got
Jurisdiction Here,
As Much As Anybody.
That Scum Killed My Buddy.
Now, You Stay Off Me,
Or I'm Gonna Run You Over.
Hey, Sammy, Let Me Talk
To You For A Minute, Huh?
Ohh. First Colson
And Now You.
My Day Is Made.
Hey, Look, Man, If
You Know Where Sonny Is
And You're
Covering For Him,
You Could Be Up For
Obstruction Of Justice.
Justice?
Guy's On Parole,
He's A Punching Bag
For Anybody With
A Badge To Work Out On.
And You Wonder
Why Cops Get Killed.
Are You Saying He Offed
His Parole Officer
Because He Got Punched Out?
Don't Put Words
In My Mouth.
I Didn't Talk To Colson,
And I Ain't Talkin'
To You,
So Bug Off, Lady, Huh?
You Gotta Be Kiddin'.
Jerry Walsh Was Like
A Father To Sonny.
I Mean It.
They Were Like--Like
Father And Son.
Ahh, Sonny Couldn't
Have Killed Him.
Sonny Couldn't Have
Killed Anybody.
Yeah, But His First
Conviction Was
For Killing That Girl.
All Right,
He Killed A Girl.
He Was Drunk
Out Of His Mind,
And He Didn't See Her
In A Crosswalk And--
Oh, Come On. I Saw
Walsh's File On The Guy.
He Had Him Down As
A 3-Time Convicted Rapist,
And One Of The Rapes
Included Murder.
That's Crazy, Hunter.
Jerry's The Guy That
Brought Sonny To Me.
He Got Me To Hire Him.
He Told Me
What He Had Done.
He Told Me Where
He Was At And Said,
"All The Guy Needs Is
A Job, And He'll Be Ok."
And That's Just The Way
It Was.
Sonny Never
Took A Drink, Never
Missed A Day's Work.
And As Far As I Know,
He Never Missed
A Single Day's
Reporting To Jerry.
Yeah, Well, How Come
He's Not Here. Where Is He?
I Don't Know.
Maybe He's Sick.
Look,
You Want Someone Maybe
Who Could Help You?
You Talk To Ramos.
Him And Sonny
Are Real Tight.
You Ask Him.
Man: Hey, Lubbock.
Come Here.
So, How'd You Do
With Ramos?
Not Even Squat.
Think I Should Try It?
No, It's A Waste Of Time.
You Know What
Really Bothers Me?
What?
We Got 2 Sonnys Here.
We've Got A Jekyll
And A Hyde.
Yeah?
Yeah, I Mean,
Take A Look At This.
The Guys In The Parole Office
Turn Us On To A Sonny
Who Is A Killer-Rapist.
He's Been Nailed 3 Times,
Violated His Parole,
And Killed His P.O. To Stay
Out Of The Slammer, Right?
Right.
And Then We Talk To His Wife
And Sam Lubbock And Ramos,
And They Give Us This Sonny
Who's A Hardworking,
Loving, Devoted Father
Whose Only Crime
Was Committed While
He Was Under The Influence.
So, What You're Saying
Is You Think That
Maybe Walsh Is Trying
To Frame Sonny?
It's Worth Checking Into.
Yeah, Go Ahead.
I Want To Stick
Around Here And See
If Sonny Shows Up.
If He Doesn't,
I Want To See If Ramos
And Sam Lead Me To Him.
Ok, I'll Get A Cab.
See If You Can Get A Tap
Put On Dupree's Phone
In Case
He Calls His Wife.
Yeah. Good Idea.
Oh, And, Hunter?
Listen, Friday Night...
Wear A Tie, Ok? We're
Going Someplace Real Nice.
Oh, Wait A Minute.
How Old Is This Lady?
Jack's Sister.
How Old Is She?
[Car Door Slams]
I Just Wanted To Know
How Old She Was.
I'm Sorry To Have
Kept You Waiting
For So Long,
Sergeant Mccall,
But I Had To Run This
Through The Computer
3 Times,
And It's Still Wrong.
What's The Problem?
Here. You Can See
For Yourself.
According To This,
Dupree's No Rapist.
He's A Drunk Driver.
Vehicular Manslaughter?
Are You Sure This Is
The Right James Dupree?
I Checked. He's The Only
One The Computer Says
Is In The Central Files.
"Time Off For Good Behavior.
No Parole Violations."
Walsh Must Have Known That
The Rap Sheet In His File
Was A Fake.
The Computer's Off.
It Has To Be.
Here, Let Me Run It
Through Again, And I--
N-N-No, That's Ok.
It's All Right.
Thanks.
Excuse Me, Sergeant Mccall.
Uh...
You Work With Sergeant Hunter
All The Time, Right?
Yeah, We're Partners.
Why?
Well, I Was Just Wondering.
Um...Are You...
Is He Attached?
Radio: L-56...Dispatcher.
This Is L-56. Go Ahead.
I Got A Patch Call
From Mccall, Hunter.
Hold On A Second.
Go Ahead, Mccall.
Hunter?
Did You Get That Tap
Put On Sonny's Phone Yet?
Yeah, It Didn't Work.
But We'd Better
Stop Looking
For The Bad Mr. Hyde
And Start Looking
For The Good Dr.Jekyll.
Oh, You Mean
He's Not A Rapist
And All Those Good Things?
He's Clean?
Just Like His Wife
And Sam Said,
He's Only Been Up
For Vehicular
Manslaughter.
Well, Then Why Is
The Guy Running?
Well, When We Find Him,
I'll Ask Him.
What Do You Mean, "We"?
Where Are You?
About A Half A Block
In Front Of You.
Now, Look, Mom,
I Appreciate It,
But I Think I Can Handle
This Stakeout By Myself.
Then You Already Know
You've Grown A Tail?
Tail? What Do You Mean?
Colson. He's A Couple
Cars Behind Me.
Uh, There Goes
My Pigeon Now, Mccall.
Do Me A Favor And Get Colson
Off My Back, Will You?
Hey, Look, Hunter,
I'll Take Ramos,
And You Follow
Colson, Ok?
If Any Car's Gonna
Get Creamed Here--
Be A Pal, Will You?
If I Make A Sharp
Right-Hand Turn
In This Crate,
The Front End's
Gonna Fall Off.
[Click]
[Horn Honking]
Hey, Where The Hell
Did You Learn To Drive,
Woman?
Mccall?
Why Don't You Get
That Piece Of Garbage
Off The Street
Before You Get A Ticket
For Littering, Colson?
Hey, I'm Gonna Have You
Up On Charges,
Do You Hear Me?
Do You Hear Me--
I'm Gonna Have You Up
On Charges!
[Tires Squealing]
[Car Door Closes]
Move One Muscle,
You Won't Have
Anything Left
To Hang
Your Ears On.
You Have The Right
To Remain Silent, Sonny.
You Also Have
The Right To Your Choice
Of An Attorney.
You're A Regular
Comedian, Hunter.
You're Not Being
Very Smart Here,
Sonny.
You're Adding
Kidnapping, Assault,
Resisting Arrest
To Suspicion
Of Murder.
You're Digging
Yourself A Pretty
Big Hole Here.
I Didn't Kill Him.
You Were Seen
Leaving Big Ed's
Last Night,
Minutes Before Walsh
Was Killed.
I've Got A Witness
To That.
Don't Talk To Him, Sonny.
He's Only Gonna Twist
What You Say All Around
And Set You Up!
Look, Ramos, Why
Don't You Go Outside
And Get Some
Fresh Air? It'll
Clear Your Fat Head.
I'll Clear Your Head, Man!
I'll Clear It
Real Good!
Look, I Got
Enough Problems
Without That.
Why Don't You Go
Downstairs And, Uh,
See If Anyone's
Hanging Around?
Give Me The Gun.
He Tries Something,
Sonny...
Yeah. I'll Holler.
He's Good People--Ramos.
He Got A Raw Deal,
And He Turned
A Little Crazy.
Look, Sonny, I Ran
A Full Make On You.
All I Could
Come Up With Is
A Flock Of 502S
And One Conviction
For Vehicular
Homicide.
Now, Since You've
Been Out On Parole,
You've Been Clean
As Snow.
Now, Why Does Walsh
Have You Down
As A 3-Time
Convicted Rapist
And A Parole
Absconder?
It Was A Trap,
And I Was The Bait.
He Said There Was
Some Guy Out There
Murdering Parolees,
Some Nut Who Thought
He Was Protecting
The Public
From The Rapists
And The Murderers
That The System
Was Putting Back
On The Streets.
Well, Did He Say Who
He Thought It Was?
No. He Just Said
That, Uh,
The Guy Had Already
Murdered 6 Parolees
And That If He,
Uh, You Know,
If He Could Set Me Up
So He Went After Me,
He Could Nail Him.
And You Went Along
With That?
Hey, Jerry
Turned My Life Around.
If It Wasn't For Him,
I'd Be Falling-Down Drunk.
I Mean, No Wife, No Kid,
No Job, Nothing.
I'd Have Done Anything
That Man Asked.
So What Went Down
Last Night, Sonny?
Early In The Day,
Jerry Called Me
And Told Me
He Thought
The Time Was Right.
He Gave Me A Phone Number
And Told Me
To Call At 10:00 That Night
And Ask For Him.
He Said Not To Pay
Any Attention To What
He Said Over The Phone.
I Was Just To Go
To A Bar He'd Mention
In The Conversation,
A Place Called Big Ed's,
And I Was To Be Sure
To Leave It At 1:30
On The Nose
And Start Heading East.
Jerry Said He'd Be There,
I Wasn't To Worry.
I Thought The Footsteps
I Heard Behind Me
Were Jerry's,
But I Couldn't Be Sure,
And What If It Wasn't?
What If He Couldn't Make It
For Some Reason?
[Can Clanks, Cat Snarls]
I Wanted To Yell Out.
I Wanted To Jump Up And Grab
That Guy By The Throat
And Bash His Head
Against The Walls,
But I Couldn't Move.
I Couldn't Breathe.
I Was--
Like I Was Frozen There
Behind The Garbage Cans.
Hunter:
Did You See The Guy?
Yeah, I Saw Him.
Almost As Clear
As I See You.
Was It Dan Colson?
He Was Another
Parole Officer That
Worked With Walsh.
He Was Supposed
To Be His Friend.
I Don't Know.
And, Uh, I Never
Saw Him Up There,
And Jerry Never
Told Me About Him.
But If It's The Guy
Who Killed Jerry,
I Can I.D. Him.
Get Me Out Of Here,
Sonny. Come On.
What, So You Can
Take Me In? No Dice.
Look, There's
A Warrant Out
For Your Arrest.
I've Got
To Take You In.
Besides, I Need You
To Finger Colson
So I Can Nail Him.
And Who's Gonna
Believe Me?
Sorry, Hunter.
The Guy Who Killed Jerry,
He's Out After Me.
I'll Take My Chances.
On My Own.
Hey, Wait A Minute.
You're Not Going
To Leave Me In Here
Hooked Up Like This,
Are--
Here.
I Don't Need It.
That'll Hold You.
I Don't Need This.
Sorry, Hunter.
Hey...
Sonny!
[Door Closes]
Radio: L-56,
Come In, Please.
L-56, Come In.
L-56, Come In.
[Trying Door Handle]
L-56, Come In.
This Is L-56. Over.
Stand By For
Sergeant Mccall, L-56.
Hunter?
Where Have You Been?
I've Been Trying
To Find You
For The Last
Half Hour.
Oh, I've Had
A Little Radiator
Problem.
Then You're Ok?
I Didn't Know
You Cared.
Of Course I Do. Look,
I'd Hate To Disappoint
Jack's Sister.
She's Really Looking
Forward To Meeting You.
[Click]
Hunter?
Hunter.
I Fold.
Me, Too.
Natural Flush,
All I Get Is The Ante.
This Is Lousy,
3-Handed.
I Think I'm Going Home.
Me, Too.
Hi, Fellas.
I Just Stopped By.
I Thought
You Might Need
Another
Card Partner.
It's All Right
With Me.
Makes For
A Better Game
Than 3-Handed.
Dan?
Well, As Long As
His Money Is U.S. Of "A."
What's The Game?
It's Dealer's Choice,
Quarter And A Half.
New Player Deals.
Ok To Check And Raise?
Anything Goes, As Long
As You Don't Get Caught.
How About A Little
Pete Loftus Stud?
Only Pete Loftus
I Know Is A Parolee.
Was A Parolee.
He's Dead.
He Was Murdered
About 6 Months Ago.
Your Bet.
A Kidder.
Is That Why They Named
The Game After Him,
In Memoriam?
I Think
It Was Pete...
Or Dum-Dum Madigan.
Or Was It
Feets Jackson?
Hey, I Don't Get This.
All Those Guys Are Parolees.
Dead Parolees,
Weiker.
There Were
12 Of Them.
All A Part Of This
Tight Little Group
Of Yours.
All Shot Down
In Cold Blood.
So, Big Deal.
These Guys Are Always Getting
Themselves Knocked Off.
By Their Parole Officers?
Hey, What Kind Of Garbage
Are You Dishing Out Here?
Well, I'm Just Following
Up On What Your Friend
Walsh Found Out.
I Mean, That Is Why
You Killed Him,
Isn't It?
Because He Found Out
It Was You.
Hey, Sonny Dupree
Killed Jerry Walsh,
And Everybody
Knows About It.
Now, Are We
Playing Cards Here
Or What?
I've Got A Witness
Who Saw The Whole Thing
Go Down, Colson,
And He Describes You
To A "T."
So Arrest Me.
No, No,
Not Right Now.
I've Got Some
Loose Ends I Want
To Tie Up First,
But When I Do,
I'll Know Where
To Find You.
You're Runnin' A Bluff.
Hey, Damn It, Hunter,
I Mean, I Don't Know Why
You're Doing This
Or What You Think
You Got Here,
But I For One Resent
What You're Doing
To Dan.
Now, Either You
Back Off, Or I'm Going
To File A Complaint.
Well, That's
Your Prerogative,
Weiker.
But If I Was You,
I'd Read
That Printout First.
It's Got Sonny Dupree's
Rap Sheet On It
Out Of Central Files,
Not The One Walsh Dummied Up
To Nail The Murderer.
See You Guys.
What? I Don't Believe This.
What?
Dupree's A Drunk Driver.
Let Me See It.
[Telephone Rings]
I'll Get It.
[Ring]
Yeah?
Thanks.
Dan, When Jerry
Got That Call
About Dupree,
Didn't He Say
He Wasn't Going Out
After Him,
That It Was
Too Dangerous?
I Don't Know.
I Don't Remember.
Sure You Do.
You Kidded Him About
Once Having Been
The Most
Conscientious
Parole Officer
In The Department.
Well, So He
Changed His Mind.
Now, Look, I Just Got
An Important Phone Call,
And I Got To Get
Out Of Here.

Yeah. I've Asked
About That Tap
Twice Now.
You're Kidding Me!
What?
Ok, Thanks.
They Refused
Our Request For A Tap
On The Dupree Phone.
Well, They Can't Do That.
We've Got Cause.
Colson Beat Us To It.
He Put One On
About 4 Hours Before
We Applied For Ours.
I'm Going To Call
Mrs. Dupree.
[Ring]
Hello?
Hello, Mrs. Dupree?
This Is
Sergeant Mccall.
Have You Heard
From Your Husband?
Why, No, I Haven't.
You Sure?
Yes. I'm Positive.
Ok. Well,
Uh, If He Does
Contact You,
Warn Him
Not To Say Anything
That Will Give Away
His Whereabouts.
Your Phone's Tapped.
Mrs. Dupree, Did
You Understand That?
Yes.
I Understand.
Thank You.
Uh, That's A Phone,
Mccall, Remember?
Mrs. Dupree Said
Sonny Didn't Call.
So?
So The Way She
Said It, I--I Don't
Believe Her.
But Why Would She Lie?
I Don't Know.
She Sounded Scared.
Look, About This

Yeah, That's The Tap
That Colson Had Put
On The Dupree Phone.
Hold It, And
I'll Look It Up For You.
Thank You.
There Was A...
Incoming Call
To That Number
At 2:47 P.M.
From An Unnamed
Male Caller.
There Was A Second Call
From A Female,
A Sergeant Mccall
Whom We've Identified
As A Member Of The Lapd.
Oh, Yes, Yes, We
Already Have That,
But Could You Please
Give Me The Readout
On The 2:47 Call?
I Already Gave
A Readout To Mr. Colson.
Didn't He Tell You?
No. Uh...
I Was Out

All Right.
Don't Hurt Her.

I Said Drop It.
