Hunter (1984–1991): Season 1, Episode 2 - Hard Contract - full transcript
Hunter & McCall make a promise of loyalty and protectiveness toward each other after she is nearly killed by her old partner.
'Cause Trancas Has Taken
All He's Gonna Take.
If Anybody Can Pull Off
This Contract, It's Gus.
Gus Is At The Door,
And He's Drunk.
What Is She
Planning On Doing,
Having A Shootout
With Her Mother's
Doctor?
I Love This Division.
More Killings And
Shootings Down Here
Than Any Other.
He Was My Partner.
I Owe Him.
Partners Don't Owe,
They Just Do.
Let Me Buy You Lunch.
You Said They Have
Great Egg Salad
Sandwiches Here.
They Don't Even
Have Egg Salad In
That Machine, Hunter.
Works For Me.
If You're Lookin'
For A Good Bust,
Go Someplace Else.
Don't Do It, Gus.
Works For Me.
[Telephone Rings]
[Ring]
[Ring]
Hello.
Man: Open This Door,
Marilyn.
Dee Dee, It's Marilyn.
Um, Gus Is At The Door,
And He's Drunk.
[Sighs]
Well, What Do You
Want Me To Do, Marilyn?
It's Not Even 5:30
In The Morning.
I Can't Call The Police,
You Know. I Can't
Call The Police.
Not After What Happened.
Ok, Look, I'll Be There
In 5 Minutes.
You Open This Door,
Or I'll Take It Off
Its Hinges!
Now, Gus, Just Go Away.
I'll Talk To You Later.
I'm Not Messin'
Around Here. I Want In.
Let Me In, Damn It!
You Open Your Mouth, Marilyn,
And I'll Fill It With Dirt.
I'm Not Kidding.
I Mean It.
How Are Things Going, Gus?
Oh, This Is Great.
This Is Great, Marilyn,
If You Called This Bag Of
Puke Over Here To Save You--
Come On, Gus, Get Out.
I Put It On The Air
Coming Over Here.
In A Couple Of Minutes,
We'll Be Up To Our Ears
In Blues.
That's Right. That's
Your Story, Isn't It?
You Ratted Me Out Once.
Why Not Keep Up
The Pressure?
I'm Not Above Much
These Days, Mccall.
Maybe I Ought
To Hang One On You.
Cut Your Losses, Gus.
Get Out.
I'm Sorry, Gus.
I Was Afraid.
Let It Happen.
Let It All Happen.
If It Goes Down,
Ok, That's Fine.
I'll Take You Both
With Me.
I'll Take Them All
With Me.
I Don't Care.
You Didn't Call Them,
Did You, Dee Dee?
I Said No Police.
No, I Didn't Call Them.
[Sighs]
I Don't Know
What To Do.
You Know, I Just
Can't Take This.
When I Came In,
I Heard Him Say
That If You Told Anybody
What He Told You,
He'd Kill You.
Look, Marilyn,
What's Going On?
I Can't. I Just--
I Just Want To Get
Out Of This.
If You Don't Tell Me,
I Can't Help Him Or You.
What Did This
To Him, Dee Dee?
What Turned Him
Into This?
[Knock Knock]
Come In.
Terwilliger,
How You Doin'?
How Am I Doing, Sir?
Well, Sir, I'm
Doing Wonderfully.
I've Been Getting
What Can Only
Be Described
As Rather
Massive Breaks
On All My Cases,
And I've Been
Putting In
A Lot Of Overtime.
Uh, I'm On My Own
Time, Sir.
I've Been
Clocking Out First.
I've Been
Working On Some
Special Projects.
I Recently
Read The Mayor's
Very Moving Speech
On Cleaning Up
The City...
Graffiti, Defacing,
And So Forth.
And I'm Trying
To Work Up A Program
To Deal With That.
Once Again,
On My Own Time.
Saturday Work
And So Forth.
Excuse Me, Bernie,
I'm Fascinated, Of Course.
I'm Gonna Have To
Reassign You This Morning.
Don't Tell Me, Sir,
That My, Uh,
Transfer
To Public Relations
Has Come Through.
Mccall Called In
This Morning.
She's Gonna Take
A Week's Sick Leave.
I'm Gonna Sign You Up
With Hunter.
With Hunter?
Very Well, Sir.
You Know What This Is,
Bernie?
That Is A, Uh, Small
Spiral Notebook.
No. It Was A Small
Spiral Notebook.
What It Is Now Is
A Deficient Procedure
And Malperformance Log
On Sergeant Rick Hunter.
I Want Every One Of His
Departmental Infractions
In This Book.
If He Goes To Buy
A Candy Bar Without
Going Code 7,
I Want It In The Book.
What You're Holding,
Terwilliger,
Is The Most Important
Exhibit In Hunter's
Dismissal Board Hearing.
How You Fill
Those Pages
Will Determine
The Success
Of That Hearing.
Ok, Bernie?
Sir, I Take This As
A Vote Of Confidence
In My Performance.
Right Now, Hunter's In
The Coffee Room Jamming
Jelly Doughnuts In His Face.
Have Fun.
Yes, Sir. Ha Ha.
Thank--Thank You, Sir.
Bring Me Back
A Flounder, Bernie.
Ha Ha, Yeah, Yeah.
I'm Countin' On You.
Have You Signed In With
The Watch Commander Yet?
Are You Talking
To Me, Bernie?
Yes.
No, I Sign In
On The Way Out
Like Everybody Else.
It Is 8:05.
That Makes You
Late For Work, Hunter.
I Know, Bernie,
But I Make Up For It
With My Style,
Zest, Nerve,
And Quality Busts.
8:05 Is 8:05.
8:00 Sharp Is 8:00 Sharp.
Am I Missing
Something Here, Bernie?
Are You Working
On Another Brown Bag
Special
To Help Get Yourself
Transferred To P.R.?
That's Very Funny.
Public Relations Serves
As A Necessary Link
Between The Practical
Business Of The Street
And The Public Perception
Of Police Business.
That's A Real Hellhole
Over There, Bernie.
I Hear They Lost A Guy
Just Last Week.
Shot?
Bad Shrimp.
We Are Going To Be
Partnered For A While,
So I Think We Can Dispense
With The Ho-Hum Humor.
It Really Doesn't
Amuse Me At All.
I'm Partnered
With Mccall, Bernie.
If You Signed In
With The Watch Commander
As Described In
Departmental Policy,
You'd Be Aware That
Sergeant Mccall Is Now
On A Week Of Sick Leave.
Therefore, They Have
Assigned You To Me.
Give Me Watch Commander.
Hiya, Skipper,
This Is Hunter.
What's This About, Uh,
Mccall Being On Sick Leave?
Well, Did She Say
What Was Wrong?
Oh, I Know That.
Thanks.
Since I Am Senior
In Days On The Job,
I Will Take
The Lead Position
In Our Little
Team Of Two.
Did She Say
What Was Wrong?
I Haven't A Clue.
Maybe She Got
Some Bad Shrimp.
Yes.
She's Not Answering
Her Phone.
You Were Trying To Call
Sergeant Mccall?
I Was Trying To,
Bernie.
Isn't That Using
A Department Phone
For Personal Business?
She's My Partner.
Correction.
She Is An Officer
Who Is Unassigned
And On Sick Leave.
Therefore,
She Is Not Currently
On Active Duty.
Your Trying To Phone Her
Is In Violation Of
Departmental Phone Regs.
Is This What I'm In For
Today, Bernie?
I've Always Thought That
A Rule-Conscious Officer
Makes Fewer Mistakes.
I've Tried
To Run My Career
Along Those Lines.
Got It.
Just Wait A Minute.
Clear Us,
Will You, Sergeant?
This Is L-56.
Clear And Rolling, Out.
Dispatch: L-56, Roger.
You Are L-56.
This Unit Is My Unit.
I'm The Senior Officer Here.
I Am L-28.
Clear L-28,
If You Please.
What Are You Doing, Hunter?
This Is Dee Dee's House.
She Was Filling Out
Yesterday's Reports.
Now, You Don't Want Us
Not To File Our Police
Reports, Do You, Bernie?
All Right, But Make It
Quick, Will You?
[Ding Dong]
I'm Rick Hunter.
Where's Dee Dee?
Um, I'm Sorry.
I Don't Know.
I'm Her Partner.
Oh...
Well, She Went To Visit
Her Mother In Portland.
I Thought She Was Sick.
She Took Sick Leave.
Oh, Well,
Her Mother Is Sick.
That's Why
She's In Portland.
I've Seen You
Someplace Before.
We've Met, Haven't We?
I'm Marilyn Sangster.
I'm An Old Friend
Of Dee Dee's.
She's Letting Me
Stay Here While
She's Out Of Town.
Her Mother, Huh?
What?
Where Are You Going?
What Are You Doing?
Just...Get Out Of Here.
She Took Her
Police Issue .38
As Well As
A Belly Gun .25.
Now, What Is She
Planning On Doing,
Having A Shootout
With Her Mother's
Doctor?
I Can't Tell.
I Promised.
If She Calls In,
Tell Her I Was Here.
Have Her Call Me.
I Have A New Unit
Designation, L-28.
It's Important, Marilyn.
I Know We've Met.
I Don't Think So.
Well?
She Wasn't Home.
I Couldn't Get
The Reports.
We're Going To The Park
Across From The Mayor's Office.
Let's Go, Sergeant.
We're Going Where?
You'll See.
It's A Special
Project Of Mine.
Bernie: See That Graffiti
On That Tree There,
Over There
On That Monument,
And All The Way
Across The Park,
All Over
The Mayor's Office?
Graffiti Everywhere
You Look.
Defaces Everything.
You Know What We're
Going To Do About It?
We're Gonna Find Out
Who's Doing All
This Street Art
And Start Handing
Down Citations,
Right, Bernie?
I Can Tell From
The Tone Of Your Voice,
You Don't Think This Is
Very Important, Do You?
Let Me Put It To You
More Plainly, Bernie.
I Think
This Is Absurd.
I'm A Homicide
Detective.
And What's With All
The Writing In The Book?
Why Don't You Take
The Right-Hand Side
Of The Park?
I'll Take The Left-Hand Side.
Talk To The People.
Get A Description.
We'll Catch These Punks.
Crime Doesn't Pay.
Not In My City.
Let's Move Out, Sergeant.
I Don't Believe
I'm Doing This.
[Ring]
Records
And Identification.
Officer Smith.
Hiya, Smitty.
This Is Hunter.
Run An Ex-Cop By The Name Of
Gus Trancas For Me, Would You?
I Think He Was On Duty
Here In Los Angeles
A Couple Of Years Ago.
Yeah, I Think He Went Before
A Shooting Review Board
And Got Dismissed.
You Want To Hold?
It'll Just Take A Minute
To Punch It Up.
Yeah, I Got A Couple
Of Minutes Coming.
Simon Didn't Say
You Could Do That.
Simon?
Meet Simon.
Simon Says
Go Directly To Jail,
Do Not Pass Go,
Do Not Collect $200.
I'll Have One With Mustard
And Sauerkraut, Please.
Ok, Hunter, I Got Him.
Well, You're Right.
He Got Thrown Off
The Force.
Killed A Guy
In An Alley.
Now He Claimed
Self-Defense,
But They Seemed
To Think He Planted
A Gun On The Guy
After He Shot Him.
Was His Wife's Maiden Name
Marilyn Sangster?
Yeah, That's Her.
Wait A Minute.
Here's Something Funny.
You Know Who
His First Partner Was?
Mccall?
That's Right.
The Old Brass Cupcake.
Yeah, What Else You Got?
He Was A Private Dick
For 6 Months,
And Then He Lost
His License.
Any Known Associates?
Yeah, One.
A Guy Named
Brian Carmichael.
Works As A Bartender
In A Dive Over In
The 77Th Division
Known As
The Irish Rose.
Trancas Got Involved
In A Fight In There
Not Too Long Ago.
Broke The Place Up
Pretty Good.
Uh, This Guy
Carmichael,
He Refused
To File Charges.
Ok, Smitty, Thanks.
Oh, Send A Black And White
Over To The Park
Opposite
The Mayor's Office
For A Little Bit
Of Clean-Up, Would You?
[Sighs]
How'd You Do, Hunter?
Cookin', Bernie.
Really Cookin'.
Looks Like This Stuff
Is Being Painted On
By A Street Gang
Called The Stilettos.
Ought To Be A Lot Of Fun
Catching These Punks,
Bernie.
Dodging
Their Switchblades
And Prying Spray Cans
Out Of Their Hands.
It's Not Our Job.
Let The Blues
Roll On The Bust
If We Find Out
Who's Doing It.
Oh, Yeah, I Lost My Head
There For A Minute,
Bernie. Sorry.
Let Me Buy You Lunch.
It's Been
A Hard Morning.
I Know
A Great Restaurant.
Best Food
In Los Angeles.
A Little Place Called
The Irish Rose.
Ok, Hunter, Thanks.
Hey, Listen,
What's A Partner For
If He Can't
Buy Lunch Every
Once In A While, Huh?
Bernie: Boy, This, Uh,
This Place Is Really Out Of
The Way, Isn't It, Hunter?
Yeah, I Know.
That's Why I Like It.
Treat You Like A King
In This Place, Bernie.
This Isn't
The 77Th Division, Is It?
Yeah, Toughest
Damn Division
In Los Angeles.
I Love This Division.
More Killings And
Shootings Down Here
Than Any Other.
I Wouldn't Be Surprised
If We End Up Dumping
A Couple Of Hardballs
During Lunch.
We Couldn't, Uh, Just Go
To The Universal Grill,
Could We?
You're Gonna Love
This Place, Bernie.
Best Kitchen
In Los Angeles.
Hey, Look Here, Bernie.
Maybe We Can Ask Some
Questions While We're
Having Something To Eat.
Bernie: There's No
Kitchen Here, Hunter.
This Is A Bar.
Oh, See The Sandwich
Vending Machine Here,
Bernie?
The Best
Egg Salad Sandwiches
In Los Angeles
Come Out Of That Machine.
Hunter,
What Are You Doing?
Talk About Coincidences,
Bernie.
I Think That's My Sick
Partner Dee Dee Mccall
Over There
At The End Of The Bar.
We Should Be In The Valley
Working On My Case.
Instead You Bring Me To This
Slum Capital Of Los Angeles
To Check On
Your Crazy Partner.
Hi, Fellas.
Lookin' For A Little Fun?
Mccall,
I Have No Idea--
Your Friend
Behind The Bar
Just Went For The Phone.
I'm Sorry, But I Think
We May Have Burned You.
I Wasn't Getting
Anywhere Anyway.
This Might
Work Out Better.
What Is Going On?
Sorry, It's None
Of Your Business.
It's Personal.
Marilyn Trancas
Is In Your Apartment.
Gus Was Your
First Partner,
And He Used To Hang Out
At This Bar With A Guy
Named Carmichael.
Now, My Guess
Is Carmichael Is
The Big, Fat, Ugly Guy
Behind The Bar With
The Sweat-Stained
T-Shirt
And A Bar Rag Hanging
Over His Shoulder.
I Should've Known Better
Than To Try And Slide One
Past You, Hunter.
What Are You Two
Talking About?
Wait A Minute.
What Is Going On Here?
This Whole Bar Is
Gonna Turn Upside Down
In About 3 Or 4 Minutes.
Less.
I Want To Talk To You...
Outside.
Maybe I Don't Want To Go.
Leave Us Alone, We're--
You're Goin'.
Mister...
[Gunshot]
Get Up. Come On.
You, Too,
Over The Table.
Come On.
Spread 'Em.
Do Me A Favor,
Would You, Bernie,
And Read This Stiff
His Rights
Before He Comes To?
Oh, Lord, That Smarts.
I Can't See Anything
Through It.
I Can't See
Anything At All.
Here, Bernie,
Let Me Take A Look.
No, No, No, No.
Don't Even Come Near Me.
I Was Just
Trying To Help.
You've Done
Quite Enough Already,
And It'll All Be In
My Report, All Right?
What's That, Bernie,
That You And I Went To Lunch
And A Couple
Of Hardballers
Tried To Introduce
Baseball Bats To
The Backs Of Our Heads?
You Said We Were Going
To Have Lunch.
You Said
They Had Food Here.
You Said They Had
Great Egg Salad
Sandwiches Here.
They Don't Even
Have Egg Salad
In That Machine, Hunter.
Oh, That Must Be The Bar
On Third Street.
You're Going To Be
Up On The Carpet
For This One, Hunter.
Where Is My Logbook?
All I Know
Is My Partner And I
Stopped For Lunch.
You Voluntarily
Entered The Bar,
Walked Into The Middle
Of A 2-45,
And As A Good
Police Officer,
Attempted To Apprehend
The Assailants.
That's What Goes
In My Report, Bernie,
Along With The Fact
That You Attempted
To Flee The Scene
Of A Crime In Progress.
What?
And Failed To Respond
To The Help
Of A Fellow Officer
In Distress.
That Is Nonsense,
Hunter.
How Did I Get This
If I Wasn't Involved?
You Got It Trying
To Duck Out The Door,
Bernie.
I've Taken All
Of This From You Two
That I'm Gonna Take.
I'm Going Back
To The Precinct House
Right Now.
Let's Go, Mister,
Let's Go, Move Here.
Let's Go.
Hunter...
I'd Have A Talk
With This Guy At The Bar
Before Bernie Comes Back.
Gus Trancas...
I'm Looking For Him.
We're All Looking
For Something, Lady.
I Don't Know!
Come On, You Guys
Supposed To Be Cops?
You're Supposed
To Be A Bartender.
But Now You're Going
To Be A Convict
For Assaulting
A Police Officer.
I Didn't Know. Honest.
Hey, Look, Gus Told Me That
There Might Be Some Friends
Of His Coming Around,
The Kind Of Friends You
Don't Want To Know About.
Well, It Couldn't
Be Us, Could It?
I Mean, Gus Is
Just Dying To Hear
From Us, Right?
He Made A Phone Call.
Where's The Number?
Over By The Telephone.
Bartender:
It's No Good, Though.
It Was Disconnected
When I Called.
Hey, Listen,
Gus Gave Me That Number
A Long Time Ago,
And I--I Haven't
Heard From Him
In A Long Time.
I'm Playing Aces Up
With You, Really, I Am.
You Give Me A Call
If Gus Checks In.
Sure, Sure,
No Sweat, No Sweat.
Look, I Had To Do
What I Did.
Gus Is A Buddy Of Mine.
Hey, You'd Do
The Same Thing
If You Had A Friend
That Was In Trouble...
Wouldn't Ya?
Hunter, Will You
Get Off My Back?
What I'm Doing
Is Personal.
I Don't Need You
Butting In.
Well, It Looks Like You
Could've Used Someone
A Few Minutes Ago.
I Was Doing Fine
Until You Showed Up.
You Are Not Doing Fine,
And Marilyn Trancas
Is In Your Apartment,
And She's Not Doing
So Hot, Either.
I Think You Need Help.
Now, I Want To Help You Out
Of Whatever Mess You're In
So I Can Get Rid Of Bernie.
Hunter, I Need Space
On This One.
I Know You're Looking
For Gus Trancas.
I Mean, What Kind Of Trouble
Is This Guy In
That You Want To Keep
So Secret?
He Told Marilyn
He Took A Contract.
A Contract?
At Least That Was
The Word He Used.
It Could Mean Anything,
But After He Told Her,
He Practically
Beat Her To Death
To Keep Her From
Repeating It To Anybody.
I Gotta Go.
No, Hold On.
Go Home And Wait For Me.
I'll Dump Bernie,
And I'll Come Back
And Pick You Up.
Hunter, I Didn't Ask
For Your Help.
Well, You Just Don't Know
How To Ask For Help.
Look Who's Talking.
[Bernie Moaning]
Ow! Oh.
Bernie.
Bernie, Are You Ok?
Must've Had Friends
Hiding In The Shadows.
They Jumped Me
All At Once.
Shadows? Bernie,
It's Broad Daylight.
Come On, Hunter,
I'm Wounded.
Caught Me Where I Was
Most Vulnerable...
On My Blind Side.
Where Have You Been
All This Time?
Leaving Me Out Here
With 2 Dangerous Prisoners.
Oh, Yeah,
You're Right, Bernie.
I Guess I Should
Have Been Out Here.
After All, They Were
Only Handcuffed, Right?
[Moaning]
The Number Was A Phone
That He Had In The Room,
But The Phone Company
Disconnected It
Because Of Nonpayment
Of Bills 2 Days Ago.
I Am Really Not In The Mood
For This Right Now.
Well, You're The One
That Thought
Trancas Might
Recognize Your Car.
Where To Now?
I'm Dry On This.
I Thought For Sure
I'd Get A Line On Gus
Out Of The Irish Rose.
Ah, You'll Think
Of Something.
You've Spent A Lot
Of Time With This Guy.
After All, You Were
Partners For Years.
We Were More
Than Partners.
We Were A Real Team,
Hunter.
I Was Fresh Out
Of The Academy.
Gus Taught Me So Much.
He Showed Me The Streets.
We Made A Pact. We Were
Gonna Do It Together.
Together We Were Gonna
Make A Difference.
Looking Back, I Guess We
Never Really Did Think Alike.
After The Shooting
Review Board
Washed Gus Out...
[Sighs] I Never Wanted
Another Partner.
I Never Wanted To Get
That Close To Anybody
I Worked With Again.
He's Capable, Isn't He?
I Mean, He Could Take
A Hit Contract,
Couldn't He?
Yeah, I Gotta Get To Him.
I Gotta Help Him, Hunter.
There's Gotta Be Something
You're Not Clicking On.
You Know, I Mean, Uh,
What About The Cases
You Had Together,
Uh, The Little Things
You Pick Up?
Oh, Damn It, Hunter!
The Magastretti Hit.
The Bullet From Chicago That
Took Out East Side Charlie?
Whenever A Button Man
Comes To Town Or Someone
Goes To Ground,
Procedure Is A Search
Of All Flophouses
And Apartments, Right?
Right.
Well, The Thing That
Impressed Both Me And Gus
Was That This Guy
Who Hit East Side Charlie
Came To Town
And Rented An Office.
I Mean, You Never Think
Of Offices For Lease.
How Many Of Them Are There
That Never Get Checked?
You Think?
Works For Me.
[Ring]
Executive Realty.
This Is Terri.
Hi, Terri.
This Is Gus Trancas.
Gus Trancas.
Oh, Oh, Yes, Of Course.
How Do You Do,
Mr. Trancas?
Well, I Really
Don't Know.
I Haven't Received
Those Lease Agreements Yet.
Is There Some Problem?
Problem? Well, No.
I Don't See How There
Could Be A Problem.
You Know, I Could Have
Sworn That Those Leases
Came Back
With The Signatures.
Hold On Just A Minute,
And I'll Check.
All Right.
Why Are We Doing This, Huh?
You Want To Tell Me That?
You Want To Find
Gus Trancas?
Well, Why Don't We Just
Go Down There,
Flash Our Badges,
And Ask Them?
Why Don't We Just Take
Out A Billboard Ad
And Say, "Hey, Gus,
The Heat's On."
Mr. Trancas?
Yes?
Well,
I Don't Understand.
I Have Those Signed Leases
Right Here In Front Of Me.
Would You Hold, Please,
Till I Get My Secretary
On The Line?
Thank You.
[Clicking]
Come On.
Yes, Hello.
This Is Annie.
Oh, Hi, Annie.
Hi. Apparently I Have Lost
All The Lease Agreements.
You See, I Was Out
Of The Office Last Week,
And There Was A Temp In.
Tell Me About It.
Oh, Honey, I Know, I Know.
Now, Let's See. It Was
A Studio City Duplex.
Oh, No, This Is
For The Century City
High-Rise.
Uh, 21250
Century Park East,
Suite 810.
Oh, Well, There You Go.
You See, I Told Him He Was
Going Crazy Over Nothing.
I Have Those Leases.
It's The Studio City
Duplex Lease That's Lost.
Well, That'll Teach Me
To Go On Vacation, Huh?
Right. Bye-Bye.
Well?
21250 Century Park East.
Made It.
Don't Slam It.
I Can't.
Hey, Hey, Hey,
Loosen Up,
Sergeant.
Why?
Well, You Know Why.
This Is No Way To Go
In There And Face This Guy.
What Are You
Talking About?
You Know Exactly
What I'm Talking About.
Rein It In. Do The Job.
You Lead With Your Emotions,
And You Won't Be In Control.
I Am Totally In Control.
You Don't Like The Way
I'm Handling This Case,
You Can Wait In The Car.
Oh, I Can't.
The Door Won't Open.
Come On.
I Don't Believe It.
Trick Or Treat, Gus.
Peddle It Next Door.
That's A Sucker Bet,
Gus.
Well, You Did It Again,
Didn't You, Honey?
Went And Brought
In The Heat.
Hunter's Just Here
As A Friend.
Hers, Not Yours,
Meatball.
Hunter, Please.
What The Hell's
Going On, Gus, Huh?
What Are You Doing?
What The Hell
Do You Care?
I Do Care! It Cost Me
A Lot To Find You.
I Care A Lot,
And So Does Marilyn.
I Got A Lot Of Caring
From The Two Of You.
Up To Here I Got
Your Caring.
If You're Looking
For A Good Bust,
Go Someplace Else.
Don't Do It, Gus.
I Don't Know What
You're Talking About,
And I Don't Need A License
For This Thing.
What Kind Of Hunting
You Planning To Do
With This, Gus?
Take Your Friend
And Shove Off.
Let Me Help You, Gus.
When I Needed Your Help,
You Weren't There.
When I Needed You
To Stand Up For Me,
You Folded Like
A Bad Poker Hand.
I Did
What I Had To Do.
I Couldn't Lie,
And You Wouldn't
Have Wanted Me To.
Aren't You Living
In Some Fairy Tale?
I Was One Of The Best
Damn Cops On The Force.
I Was First In My Class
Out Of The Academy.
'Cause I Was Doing My Job,
'Cause I Wasted Some Slob,
I End Up Chalking
The Unemployment Line.
Take This Broad
And Get Outta Here!
Gus, For God Sakes,
You Can't Go Through
With This.
I Know You,
And You Can't.
You Never Knew Me.
And I Never
Knew You, Honey.
I Told You To Get Out.
She Doesn't
Want To Hear, Right?
She Thinks You're
Gonna Talk To Me
Man-To-Man, Maybe?
No, I'm Gonna Talk
To You Cop-To-Creep.
That Lady Out There
Gives A Damn About You.
Why Is Beyond Me.
But She's Just
Trying To Flag You
Off The Track
To Keep You
From Hitting The Wall.
Come On. We're Both
Big Boys, Hunter.
We Both Know What's
Going On Out There.
You Know What
Happened To Me--
Exactly What Always Happens
To Guys Like Me...
Like Us.
Don't Flatter
Yourself, Pal.
You And I
Are Nothing Alike.
All I Can Tell You, Hunter,
Is Watch Out.
She'll Do You
Like She Did Me.
She Didn't Send Me
In Here, Trancas.
I'm Not In Here
To Save You.
I'm In Here To
Let You Know This
Is A Hard Contract.
You're Gonna
Feel My Breath
Right Down Your Neck,
And When You Look Down,
My Shadow's Gonna Be
Blocking Out Yours.
And When You Stop
To Look Back,
I'm Gonna Steamroll
Right Over
The Top Of You.
All That's Gonna
Be Left Is Something
For The Dogs To Lap Up.
You Don't Breathe
Heavy On Me, And I Fold.
Keep Coming. I'm Waiting.
Gus Trancas Has Taken
All He's Gonna Take.
I'm Gonna Go Down Hard.
Works For Me.
I Want To Know What You
Said To Him, Hunter.
I Told You It Was Nothing,
Just A Hello And A Good-Bye.
I Forgot My Cigarettes.
You Don't Smoke, Hunter.
Oh, Yeah? You Should Have
Seen Me A Few Minutes Ago.
[Tires Squeal]
Hey, He's Going For It.
Come Here, Come Here.
Come On, Come On!
You're Losing Him.
I'm Already Up To
Warp Speed As It Is.
What Do You Want Me
To Do?
Trancas Always Was
A Hell Of A Driver.
I Think He Got Away.
There's Nothing Here
To Tell Us Anything.
He's Cleaned Out,
And Now He's Gonna
Crawl Into A Hole
And Pull It In
After Him.
We Found Him Once,
We'll Find Him Again.
There's More Than One Way
Back Into This Case.
If We Can't Find The Shooter,
We'll Work Backwards--
Find Out Who He's After
And Then Head Him Off.
Gus Wouldn't Have Had That
Phone Put In If He Didn't
Want To Call Somebody.
I Can't Let Him Go Down
Like This, Hunter.
He Was My Partner.
I Owe Him.
Dee Dee, Partners Don't Owe,
They Just Do.
[Telephone Rings]
Yeah?
Smitty: Got That Info
For You.
Hold On. Yeah,
What Do You Got?
Hunter, Only One Number
Was Dialed From That Phone--
555-3793.
Thanks.
Well, Did They Run It?
They Didn't Have To.
I Know Who This Number
Belongs To.
Who? Let's Go Find Him.
If Gus Called
That Number For Help,
We Won't Have To
Go Find Anyone.
They'll Find Me.
Wake Up, Hunter.
You Got An Appointment.
It's About Time.
I Fell Asleep
Waiting For You Guys.
Look At This, Will You?
Factory Sealed?
Does That Look Like
It's Factory Sealed?
It Looked Like It Was
Wrapped By My 2-Year-Old.
Now Get The Machine Working
The Way It's Supposed To.
Good Morning, Jilly.
Hey, Rick. I Didn't Know
You Could Get Up This Early.
Well, I Usually Do Sleep
Till 6 A.M.
Oh, You Could Have Dressed.
Well, They Could Have
Given Me A Chance.
"Indiana Jones And
The Temple Of Doom"?
Oh, That's A Hot One.
I Got An Order
For More Units Of That
Than I Can Push Out.
Come On, Keep It.
It Won't Be On Tape
For Almost A Year.
I Don't Have A Recorder.
Hey, Vinnie, Go Get Him
One Of Those New Vcrs
Out Of The Back.
A Good One
With The Remote, Huh?
I'd Hate To Think
These Tapes Are Pirated.
I'd Hate To Think You're
Gonna Get Your Beak
Caught In The Doorjamb.
You Know Why You're Here?
Well, It's Not To Watch
Videos And Eat Popcorn.
I Was Asked To Talk To You.
Some People Are Getting
A Little Nervous
That You're Gonna
Mess Up Their Plans.
Oh, Then I Must Be
Doing My Job Then, Huh?
Oh, Come On, Rick,
Smarten Up.
The Only Reason
Why You Didn't Wake Up
In The Trunk Of Your Car
Is Because Terry Franks
Knows That We're Cousins.
Since When Are We Involved
With The Franks Family?
Well, They Just Don't
Know How To Figure You.
They Don't Know How
To Approach You,
So They Figured You And I
Being First Cousins
That Maybe I Could Get You
To Listen To Reason.
What Were You Gonna Do,
Bully Me, Jilly?
Hey, Your Dad Told Me
A Long Time Ago
That You Never Threaten
To Bully A Guy
Unless You're Gonna
Back It Up.
So I'm Asking You
As A Friend,
Will You Leave This Alone
And Back Off?
Now, That's
A Factory Seal.
Dave Endicott's
Got To Be The Target.
Patrolman Dave Endicott
Is Gonna Testify
Against Terry Franks.
It Would All Make Sense.
It Would Be A Natural
To Think That An Ex-Cop
Could Pull A Hit
On Another Cop.
And Gus
Knows Procedure
For Protecting
And Moving A Witness
To The Court.
Maybe He Knows Him.
Maybe He Knows
His Personal Habits.
Hi. We Need
To See Captain Cain
Right Away.
Oh, He's Not In.
He'll Probably Be
Checking In With Me
Later Today.
This Can't Wait
Till Later Today.
Well, He's Gonna Be
At The Courthouse
Sometime This Afternoon.
Courthouse? Does This
Have Anything To Do
With Officer Endicott?
Captain Cain And
Bernie Terwilliger
Are In Charge Of Security
On That Case.
When Are They
Scheduled To Be There?
They're Probably
At The Courthouse Already.
Come On, Let's Go.
Let's Hope Gus Hasn't
Made His Move Yet.
Mr. Endicott?
Officer Endicott?
Excuse Me, Mr. Endicott.
So?
They Didn't Get To Him.
He's Gotta Come Back
And Testify Tomorrow.
Cain's Got About 10 Officers
Working Security.
12.
Look, Thanks, Hunter.
I Know You've Dodged
A Lot Of Departmental Flak.
Well, I've Been On This
Rugged Graffiti Thing.
It's Been Tough,
But I'm Hanging
In There For You.
Thanks.
There He Goes.
You Know, Hunter,
I Know This Sounds Strange,
But He's Nearby.
I Can Feel It.
You Still Think
This Guy's Pretty
Special, Don't You?
If Anybody Can Pull Off
This Contract, It's Gus.
Dee Dee, Don't Feel
Responsible For This Guy.
When Gus Dropped
That Cold Piece
In The Alley That Night,
He Did It To Himself.
I Just Wish I Didn't
Have To Be The One
To Push The Button.
Well, You're
The Only One That Could.
It Was A Hard Contract.
Roger.
He's On His Way Up.
Damn It, Hunter,
Get Outta Here.
I Tried To Have Dispatch
Reach You, Captain.
I Got The Call.
Obviously,
Terwilliger And I
Can Take Care Of Any Kind
Of Assassination Attempt.
Assassination Attempt?
Mccall: Captain,
I Know Trancas.
I Can Think
Like Him.
Get Off The Premises,
The Both Of You!
You're Not On This Detail.
Sir, I Can Take Care
Of Sergeant Hunter
And Sergeant Mccall
If I Have To March Them
All The Way Back
To The Precinct House.
Well, I Think You've Really
Done It This Time, Hunter.
I'm Kinda Surprised
To See You Here, Bernie.
You Know There's Not
One Piece Of Graffiti
On This Entire Hotel?
I'll Ignore
That Flip Remark.
Where
Are They Going?
The Floor That Endicott
Is Being Held On
Is Blocked Off
By 10 Security Cops.
I Think He'll Be Safe
For The Night.
We Don't Need You Here.
You Can Go Home.
Let Me Buy You
Dinner, Dee Dee.
And I'll Stay With You
To Make Sure You Stay
In The Restaurant
And Don't Get
In The Way, Hunter.
This Number--
He's In The Hotel!
Hunter, There Are No
13Th Floors In A Hotel.
Gus Was A Master
With Electronics.
It Was His Hobby.
Yeah, He Rewired
All The Elevator Panels.
What Are You Two
Sniveling About?
You Add The 13Th Floor,
It Throws The Floor Count
Off By One Floor.
Bernie, What Floor Are
They Holding Endicott On?
You Got About As
Much Chance Of Being
Voted Rose Queen
As You Do Of Getting
That Out Of Me,
Hunter.
Bernie!
15.
Ok, This Elevator's
Gonna Stop On 16.
All The Security Police Are
Gathered On The Floor Below.
They'll Walk
Right Into An Ambush.
Hunter, Are You Saying--
Is There Gonna Be
A Shootout, Hunter?
Stop The Elevator.
I Got A Better Chance
Of Beating This Thing
To The Top
If I Run The Stairs.
Stay With Mccall, Bernie,
And Get Your Piece Out.
Man: Hold On, Endicott.
We'll Be There In A Second.
Shoulda Been Here By Now.
I've Been Hit!
Bernie!
What?
You're Shooting Our Cops!
I Was...
Out Of My Way, Mccall.
You're Under
Arrest, Gus.
Drop It.
You Can't Do It, Mccall.
But I Can.
You Want To Try Me, Gus?
I'll Blow Your Heart Out.
Are You Ok, Mccall?
Damn It.
Damn It, Gus, Why?
You Sold Me Out.
You Ratted,
And Now You Gotta Live
With What Happens To Me.
No Way, Man.
No Way.
You Gotta Own This One
All By Yourself.
How You Doing, Kid?
Just Great.
How About A Game
Of One-Legged Football?
Hey, I'll Punt.
I Made It!
I Made It To The Public
Relations Division.
I Have Just Been
Reassigned.
Congratulations, Bernie.
I Guess All Those
Street Artisans
Can Breathe
A Sigh Of Relief
Knowing You're Not
Gonna Be Out There.
Right After We Talk
To My Cousin Jilly
About Pirated Tapes,
Remind Me
To Call My Broker
And Let's Order
Spray Paint Stock.
That's Very Funny,
Hunter.
I Think The Captain's
Report Said It All.
I Was The One That Stood
Up At That Gunfight.
Cain Has Put Me Up
For 2--I Repeat--
2 Commendations.
Bernie, You Shot
Captain Cain In The Back.
That Has Not Been Proved.
Anyway, That's Not What
The Official Report Says.
So You're A Real Hero
Now, Huh, Bernie?
A Hero On The Way
To Public Relations.
Be Careful. Don't Choke
On Any Martini Olives.
I'm Gonna Be So Glad
To Get Out Of This Crazy
Shoot-'Em-Up Division,
Even Though I Am One
Of The Top Shooters.
I Have Spent Enough Time
In The War Zone.
That'll Be Good
For Bernie.
Yeah.
You Know, I Was Just
Thinking About Gus.
There Was A Time
I Looked Up To Him.
Hey, Listen, Hunter.
Want To Make
A Hard Contract?
With You?
Anytime.
You Don't Let Me Slide.
I'll Keep You Straight,
If You Do The Same For Me.
You Won't Slide.
You're Too Hardheaded.
Well, It Can
Happen Slowly.
Sometimes, Maybe,
You Don't Even Know
It's Happening.
Or It Can Happen Fast,
Like With Bernie.
Suck-Fish To Hero
In One Shining Moment,
And All He Had To Do
Was Trigger Our Captain.
Excuse Me!
Uh, I Have An Announcement
To Make.
I Know That You're
All Concerned
That A Fine Officer
Like Bernie Terwilliger's
Being Reassigned.
I Don't Blame You.
We Have Firsthand Proof
That This Officer
Reacts With Courage
Under Fire.
Now, When This Was
Brought To The Attention
Of The Deputy Chief,
He Did The Right Thing.
I Have A Memo
Sent From His Office
This Morning.
Sir, I Don't See Why--
"Due To The Gallantry
And Heroism Under Fire,
"It Is The View
Of This Department That
It Would Be Pure Folly
"To Remove This
Courageous Officer
From His Duties Under Fire.
"With This In Mind,
I Have Reconsidered
His Assignment
"In Public Relations
"And Put Him In The Highest
Crime Area Of The City.
"I Know All Of Us On The Job
Can Feel Better
"Knowing That
Sergeant Terwilliger
Is Out There
"Standing
Shoulder To Shoulder
With The Other Fine Officers
Of This Division."
That A Boy, Bernie.
Sir, I Would Really
Much Prefer That Job
In Public Relations.
Bernie, Congratulations.
Well, It Seems There Is
A Subtle Justice In Life
At Play, After All.
Stop It, Hunter.
It Hurts When I Laugh.
All He's Gonna Take.
If Anybody Can Pull Off
This Contract, It's Gus.
Gus Is At The Door,
And He's Drunk.
What Is She
Planning On Doing,
Having A Shootout
With Her Mother's
Doctor?
I Love This Division.
More Killings And
Shootings Down Here
Than Any Other.
He Was My Partner.
I Owe Him.
Partners Don't Owe,
They Just Do.
Let Me Buy You Lunch.
You Said They Have
Great Egg Salad
Sandwiches Here.
They Don't Even
Have Egg Salad In
That Machine, Hunter.
Works For Me.
If You're Lookin'
For A Good Bust,
Go Someplace Else.
Don't Do It, Gus.
Works For Me.
[Telephone Rings]
[Ring]
[Ring]
Hello.
Man: Open This Door,
Marilyn.
Dee Dee, It's Marilyn.
Um, Gus Is At The Door,
And He's Drunk.
[Sighs]
Well, What Do You
Want Me To Do, Marilyn?
It's Not Even 5:30
In The Morning.
I Can't Call The Police,
You Know. I Can't
Call The Police.
Not After What Happened.
Ok, Look, I'll Be There
In 5 Minutes.
You Open This Door,
Or I'll Take It Off
Its Hinges!
Now, Gus, Just Go Away.
I'll Talk To You Later.
I'm Not Messin'
Around Here. I Want In.
Let Me In, Damn It!
You Open Your Mouth, Marilyn,
And I'll Fill It With Dirt.
I'm Not Kidding.
I Mean It.
How Are Things Going, Gus?
Oh, This Is Great.
This Is Great, Marilyn,
If You Called This Bag Of
Puke Over Here To Save You--
Come On, Gus, Get Out.
I Put It On The Air
Coming Over Here.
In A Couple Of Minutes,
We'll Be Up To Our Ears
In Blues.
That's Right. That's
Your Story, Isn't It?
You Ratted Me Out Once.
Why Not Keep Up
The Pressure?
I'm Not Above Much
These Days, Mccall.
Maybe I Ought
To Hang One On You.
Cut Your Losses, Gus.
Get Out.
I'm Sorry, Gus.
I Was Afraid.
Let It Happen.
Let It All Happen.
If It Goes Down,
Ok, That's Fine.
I'll Take You Both
With Me.
I'll Take Them All
With Me.
I Don't Care.
You Didn't Call Them,
Did You, Dee Dee?
I Said No Police.
No, I Didn't Call Them.
[Sighs]
I Don't Know
What To Do.
You Know, I Just
Can't Take This.
When I Came In,
I Heard Him Say
That If You Told Anybody
What He Told You,
He'd Kill You.
Look, Marilyn,
What's Going On?
I Can't. I Just--
I Just Want To Get
Out Of This.
If You Don't Tell Me,
I Can't Help Him Or You.
What Did This
To Him, Dee Dee?
What Turned Him
Into This?
[Knock Knock]
Come In.
Terwilliger,
How You Doin'?
How Am I Doing, Sir?
Well, Sir, I'm
Doing Wonderfully.
I've Been Getting
What Can Only
Be Described
As Rather
Massive Breaks
On All My Cases,
And I've Been
Putting In
A Lot Of Overtime.
Uh, I'm On My Own
Time, Sir.
I've Been
Clocking Out First.
I've Been
Working On Some
Special Projects.
I Recently
Read The Mayor's
Very Moving Speech
On Cleaning Up
The City...
Graffiti, Defacing,
And So Forth.
And I'm Trying
To Work Up A Program
To Deal With That.
Once Again,
On My Own Time.
Saturday Work
And So Forth.
Excuse Me, Bernie,
I'm Fascinated, Of Course.
I'm Gonna Have To
Reassign You This Morning.
Don't Tell Me, Sir,
That My, Uh,
Transfer
To Public Relations
Has Come Through.
Mccall Called In
This Morning.
She's Gonna Take
A Week's Sick Leave.
I'm Gonna Sign You Up
With Hunter.
With Hunter?
Very Well, Sir.
You Know What This Is,
Bernie?
That Is A, Uh, Small
Spiral Notebook.
No. It Was A Small
Spiral Notebook.
What It Is Now Is
A Deficient Procedure
And Malperformance Log
On Sergeant Rick Hunter.
I Want Every One Of His
Departmental Infractions
In This Book.
If He Goes To Buy
A Candy Bar Without
Going Code 7,
I Want It In The Book.
What You're Holding,
Terwilliger,
Is The Most Important
Exhibit In Hunter's
Dismissal Board Hearing.
How You Fill
Those Pages
Will Determine
The Success
Of That Hearing.
Ok, Bernie?
Sir, I Take This As
A Vote Of Confidence
In My Performance.
Right Now, Hunter's In
The Coffee Room Jamming
Jelly Doughnuts In His Face.
Have Fun.
Yes, Sir. Ha Ha.
Thank--Thank You, Sir.
Bring Me Back
A Flounder, Bernie.
Ha Ha, Yeah, Yeah.
I'm Countin' On You.
Have You Signed In With
The Watch Commander Yet?
Are You Talking
To Me, Bernie?
Yes.
No, I Sign In
On The Way Out
Like Everybody Else.
It Is 8:05.
That Makes You
Late For Work, Hunter.
I Know, Bernie,
But I Make Up For It
With My Style,
Zest, Nerve,
And Quality Busts.
8:05 Is 8:05.
8:00 Sharp Is 8:00 Sharp.
Am I Missing
Something Here, Bernie?
Are You Working
On Another Brown Bag
Special
To Help Get Yourself
Transferred To P.R.?
That's Very Funny.
Public Relations Serves
As A Necessary Link
Between The Practical
Business Of The Street
And The Public Perception
Of Police Business.
That's A Real Hellhole
Over There, Bernie.
I Hear They Lost A Guy
Just Last Week.
Shot?
Bad Shrimp.
We Are Going To Be
Partnered For A While,
So I Think We Can Dispense
With The Ho-Hum Humor.
It Really Doesn't
Amuse Me At All.
I'm Partnered
With Mccall, Bernie.
If You Signed In
With The Watch Commander
As Described In
Departmental Policy,
You'd Be Aware That
Sergeant Mccall Is Now
On A Week Of Sick Leave.
Therefore, They Have
Assigned You To Me.
Give Me Watch Commander.
Hiya, Skipper,
This Is Hunter.
What's This About, Uh,
Mccall Being On Sick Leave?
Well, Did She Say
What Was Wrong?
Oh, I Know That.
Thanks.
Since I Am Senior
In Days On The Job,
I Will Take
The Lead Position
In Our Little
Team Of Two.
Did She Say
What Was Wrong?
I Haven't A Clue.
Maybe She Got
Some Bad Shrimp.
Yes.
She's Not Answering
Her Phone.
You Were Trying To Call
Sergeant Mccall?
I Was Trying To,
Bernie.
Isn't That Using
A Department Phone
For Personal Business?
She's My Partner.
Correction.
She Is An Officer
Who Is Unassigned
And On Sick Leave.
Therefore,
She Is Not Currently
On Active Duty.
Your Trying To Phone Her
Is In Violation Of
Departmental Phone Regs.
Is This What I'm In For
Today, Bernie?
I've Always Thought That
A Rule-Conscious Officer
Makes Fewer Mistakes.
I've Tried
To Run My Career
Along Those Lines.
Got It.
Just Wait A Minute.
Clear Us,
Will You, Sergeant?
This Is L-56.
Clear And Rolling, Out.
Dispatch: L-56, Roger.
You Are L-56.
This Unit Is My Unit.
I'm The Senior Officer Here.
I Am L-28.
Clear L-28,
If You Please.
What Are You Doing, Hunter?
This Is Dee Dee's House.
She Was Filling Out
Yesterday's Reports.
Now, You Don't Want Us
Not To File Our Police
Reports, Do You, Bernie?
All Right, But Make It
Quick, Will You?
[Ding Dong]
I'm Rick Hunter.
Where's Dee Dee?
Um, I'm Sorry.
I Don't Know.
I'm Her Partner.
Oh...
Well, She Went To Visit
Her Mother In Portland.
I Thought She Was Sick.
She Took Sick Leave.
Oh, Well,
Her Mother Is Sick.
That's Why
She's In Portland.
I've Seen You
Someplace Before.
We've Met, Haven't We?
I'm Marilyn Sangster.
I'm An Old Friend
Of Dee Dee's.
She's Letting Me
Stay Here While
She's Out Of Town.
Her Mother, Huh?
What?
Where Are You Going?
What Are You Doing?
Just...Get Out Of Here.
She Took Her
Police Issue .38
As Well As
A Belly Gun .25.
Now, What Is She
Planning On Doing,
Having A Shootout
With Her Mother's
Doctor?
I Can't Tell.
I Promised.
If She Calls In,
Tell Her I Was Here.
Have Her Call Me.
I Have A New Unit
Designation, L-28.
It's Important, Marilyn.
I Know We've Met.
I Don't Think So.
Well?
She Wasn't Home.
I Couldn't Get
The Reports.
We're Going To The Park
Across From The Mayor's Office.
Let's Go, Sergeant.
We're Going Where?
You'll See.
It's A Special
Project Of Mine.
Bernie: See That Graffiti
On That Tree There,
Over There
On That Monument,
And All The Way
Across The Park,
All Over
The Mayor's Office?
Graffiti Everywhere
You Look.
Defaces Everything.
You Know What We're
Going To Do About It?
We're Gonna Find Out
Who's Doing All
This Street Art
And Start Handing
Down Citations,
Right, Bernie?
I Can Tell From
The Tone Of Your Voice,
You Don't Think This Is
Very Important, Do You?
Let Me Put It To You
More Plainly, Bernie.
I Think
This Is Absurd.
I'm A Homicide
Detective.
And What's With All
The Writing In The Book?
Why Don't You Take
The Right-Hand Side
Of The Park?
I'll Take The Left-Hand Side.
Talk To The People.
Get A Description.
We'll Catch These Punks.
Crime Doesn't Pay.
Not In My City.
Let's Move Out, Sergeant.
I Don't Believe
I'm Doing This.
[Ring]
Records
And Identification.
Officer Smith.
Hiya, Smitty.
This Is Hunter.
Run An Ex-Cop By The Name Of
Gus Trancas For Me, Would You?
I Think He Was On Duty
Here In Los Angeles
A Couple Of Years Ago.
Yeah, I Think He Went Before
A Shooting Review Board
And Got Dismissed.
You Want To Hold?
It'll Just Take A Minute
To Punch It Up.
Yeah, I Got A Couple
Of Minutes Coming.
Simon Didn't Say
You Could Do That.
Simon?
Meet Simon.
Simon Says
Go Directly To Jail,
Do Not Pass Go,
Do Not Collect $200.
I'll Have One With Mustard
And Sauerkraut, Please.
Ok, Hunter, I Got Him.
Well, You're Right.
He Got Thrown Off
The Force.
Killed A Guy
In An Alley.
Now He Claimed
Self-Defense,
But They Seemed
To Think He Planted
A Gun On The Guy
After He Shot Him.
Was His Wife's Maiden Name
Marilyn Sangster?
Yeah, That's Her.
Wait A Minute.
Here's Something Funny.
You Know Who
His First Partner Was?
Mccall?
That's Right.
The Old Brass Cupcake.
Yeah, What Else You Got?
He Was A Private Dick
For 6 Months,
And Then He Lost
His License.
Any Known Associates?
Yeah, One.
A Guy Named
Brian Carmichael.
Works As A Bartender
In A Dive Over In
The 77Th Division
Known As
The Irish Rose.
Trancas Got Involved
In A Fight In There
Not Too Long Ago.
Broke The Place Up
Pretty Good.
Uh, This Guy
Carmichael,
He Refused
To File Charges.
Ok, Smitty, Thanks.
Oh, Send A Black And White
Over To The Park
Opposite
The Mayor's Office
For A Little Bit
Of Clean-Up, Would You?
[Sighs]
How'd You Do, Hunter?
Cookin', Bernie.
Really Cookin'.
Looks Like This Stuff
Is Being Painted On
By A Street Gang
Called The Stilettos.
Ought To Be A Lot Of Fun
Catching These Punks,
Bernie.
Dodging
Their Switchblades
And Prying Spray Cans
Out Of Their Hands.
It's Not Our Job.
Let The Blues
Roll On The Bust
If We Find Out
Who's Doing It.
Oh, Yeah, I Lost My Head
There For A Minute,
Bernie. Sorry.
Let Me Buy You Lunch.
It's Been
A Hard Morning.
I Know
A Great Restaurant.
Best Food
In Los Angeles.
A Little Place Called
The Irish Rose.
Ok, Hunter, Thanks.
Hey, Listen,
What's A Partner For
If He Can't
Buy Lunch Every
Once In A While, Huh?
Bernie: Boy, This, Uh,
This Place Is Really Out Of
The Way, Isn't It, Hunter?
Yeah, I Know.
That's Why I Like It.
Treat You Like A King
In This Place, Bernie.
This Isn't
The 77Th Division, Is It?
Yeah, Toughest
Damn Division
In Los Angeles.
I Love This Division.
More Killings And
Shootings Down Here
Than Any Other.
I Wouldn't Be Surprised
If We End Up Dumping
A Couple Of Hardballs
During Lunch.
We Couldn't, Uh, Just Go
To The Universal Grill,
Could We?
You're Gonna Love
This Place, Bernie.
Best Kitchen
In Los Angeles.
Hey, Look Here, Bernie.
Maybe We Can Ask Some
Questions While We're
Having Something To Eat.
Bernie: There's No
Kitchen Here, Hunter.
This Is A Bar.
Oh, See The Sandwich
Vending Machine Here,
Bernie?
The Best
Egg Salad Sandwiches
In Los Angeles
Come Out Of That Machine.
Hunter,
What Are You Doing?
Talk About Coincidences,
Bernie.
I Think That's My Sick
Partner Dee Dee Mccall
Over There
At The End Of The Bar.
We Should Be In The Valley
Working On My Case.
Instead You Bring Me To This
Slum Capital Of Los Angeles
To Check On
Your Crazy Partner.
Hi, Fellas.
Lookin' For A Little Fun?
Mccall,
I Have No Idea--
Your Friend
Behind The Bar
Just Went For The Phone.
I'm Sorry, But I Think
We May Have Burned You.
I Wasn't Getting
Anywhere Anyway.
This Might
Work Out Better.
What Is Going On?
Sorry, It's None
Of Your Business.
It's Personal.
Marilyn Trancas
Is In Your Apartment.
Gus Was Your
First Partner,
And He Used To Hang Out
At This Bar With A Guy
Named Carmichael.
Now, My Guess
Is Carmichael Is
The Big, Fat, Ugly Guy
Behind The Bar With
The Sweat-Stained
T-Shirt
And A Bar Rag Hanging
Over His Shoulder.
I Should've Known Better
Than To Try And Slide One
Past You, Hunter.
What Are You Two
Talking About?
Wait A Minute.
What Is Going On Here?
This Whole Bar Is
Gonna Turn Upside Down
In About 3 Or 4 Minutes.
Less.
I Want To Talk To You...
Outside.
Maybe I Don't Want To Go.
Leave Us Alone, We're--
You're Goin'.
Mister...
[Gunshot]
Get Up. Come On.
You, Too,
Over The Table.
Come On.
Spread 'Em.
Do Me A Favor,
Would You, Bernie,
And Read This Stiff
His Rights
Before He Comes To?
Oh, Lord, That Smarts.
I Can't See Anything
Through It.
I Can't See
Anything At All.
Here, Bernie,
Let Me Take A Look.
No, No, No, No.
Don't Even Come Near Me.
I Was Just
Trying To Help.
You've Done
Quite Enough Already,
And It'll All Be In
My Report, All Right?
What's That, Bernie,
That You And I Went To Lunch
And A Couple
Of Hardballers
Tried To Introduce
Baseball Bats To
The Backs Of Our Heads?
You Said We Were Going
To Have Lunch.
You Said
They Had Food Here.
You Said They Had
Great Egg Salad
Sandwiches Here.
They Don't Even
Have Egg Salad
In That Machine, Hunter.
Oh, That Must Be The Bar
On Third Street.
You're Going To Be
Up On The Carpet
For This One, Hunter.
Where Is My Logbook?
All I Know
Is My Partner And I
Stopped For Lunch.
You Voluntarily
Entered The Bar,
Walked Into The Middle
Of A 2-45,
And As A Good
Police Officer,
Attempted To Apprehend
The Assailants.
That's What Goes
In My Report, Bernie,
Along With The Fact
That You Attempted
To Flee The Scene
Of A Crime In Progress.
What?
And Failed To Respond
To The Help
Of A Fellow Officer
In Distress.
That Is Nonsense,
Hunter.
How Did I Get This
If I Wasn't Involved?
You Got It Trying
To Duck Out The Door,
Bernie.
I've Taken All
Of This From You Two
That I'm Gonna Take.
I'm Going Back
To The Precinct House
Right Now.
Let's Go, Mister,
Let's Go, Move Here.
Let's Go.
Hunter...
I'd Have A Talk
With This Guy At The Bar
Before Bernie Comes Back.
Gus Trancas...
I'm Looking For Him.
We're All Looking
For Something, Lady.
I Don't Know!
Come On, You Guys
Supposed To Be Cops?
You're Supposed
To Be A Bartender.
But Now You're Going
To Be A Convict
For Assaulting
A Police Officer.
I Didn't Know. Honest.
Hey, Look, Gus Told Me That
There Might Be Some Friends
Of His Coming Around,
The Kind Of Friends You
Don't Want To Know About.
Well, It Couldn't
Be Us, Could It?
I Mean, Gus Is
Just Dying To Hear
From Us, Right?
He Made A Phone Call.
Where's The Number?
Over By The Telephone.
Bartender:
It's No Good, Though.
It Was Disconnected
When I Called.
Hey, Listen,
Gus Gave Me That Number
A Long Time Ago,
And I--I Haven't
Heard From Him
In A Long Time.
I'm Playing Aces Up
With You, Really, I Am.
You Give Me A Call
If Gus Checks In.
Sure, Sure,
No Sweat, No Sweat.
Look, I Had To Do
What I Did.
Gus Is A Buddy Of Mine.
Hey, You'd Do
The Same Thing
If You Had A Friend
That Was In Trouble...
Wouldn't Ya?
Hunter, Will You
Get Off My Back?
What I'm Doing
Is Personal.
I Don't Need You
Butting In.
Well, It Looks Like You
Could've Used Someone
A Few Minutes Ago.
I Was Doing Fine
Until You Showed Up.
You Are Not Doing Fine,
And Marilyn Trancas
Is In Your Apartment,
And She's Not Doing
So Hot, Either.
I Think You Need Help.
Now, I Want To Help You Out
Of Whatever Mess You're In
So I Can Get Rid Of Bernie.
Hunter, I Need Space
On This One.
I Know You're Looking
For Gus Trancas.
I Mean, What Kind Of Trouble
Is This Guy In
That You Want To Keep
So Secret?
He Told Marilyn
He Took A Contract.
A Contract?
At Least That Was
The Word He Used.
It Could Mean Anything,
But After He Told Her,
He Practically
Beat Her To Death
To Keep Her From
Repeating It To Anybody.
I Gotta Go.
No, Hold On.
Go Home And Wait For Me.
I'll Dump Bernie,
And I'll Come Back
And Pick You Up.
Hunter, I Didn't Ask
For Your Help.
Well, You Just Don't Know
How To Ask For Help.
Look Who's Talking.
[Bernie Moaning]
Ow! Oh.
Bernie.
Bernie, Are You Ok?
Must've Had Friends
Hiding In The Shadows.
They Jumped Me
All At Once.
Shadows? Bernie,
It's Broad Daylight.
Come On, Hunter,
I'm Wounded.
Caught Me Where I Was
Most Vulnerable...
On My Blind Side.
Where Have You Been
All This Time?
Leaving Me Out Here
With 2 Dangerous Prisoners.
Oh, Yeah,
You're Right, Bernie.
I Guess I Should
Have Been Out Here.
After All, They Were
Only Handcuffed, Right?
[Moaning]
The Number Was A Phone
That He Had In The Room,
But The Phone Company
Disconnected It
Because Of Nonpayment
Of Bills 2 Days Ago.
I Am Really Not In The Mood
For This Right Now.
Well, You're The One
That Thought
Trancas Might
Recognize Your Car.
Where To Now?
I'm Dry On This.
I Thought For Sure
I'd Get A Line On Gus
Out Of The Irish Rose.
Ah, You'll Think
Of Something.
You've Spent A Lot
Of Time With This Guy.
After All, You Were
Partners For Years.
We Were More
Than Partners.
We Were A Real Team,
Hunter.
I Was Fresh Out
Of The Academy.
Gus Taught Me So Much.
He Showed Me The Streets.
We Made A Pact. We Were
Gonna Do It Together.
Together We Were Gonna
Make A Difference.
Looking Back, I Guess We
Never Really Did Think Alike.
After The Shooting
Review Board
Washed Gus Out...
[Sighs] I Never Wanted
Another Partner.
I Never Wanted To Get
That Close To Anybody
I Worked With Again.
He's Capable, Isn't He?
I Mean, He Could Take
A Hit Contract,
Couldn't He?
Yeah, I Gotta Get To Him.
I Gotta Help Him, Hunter.
There's Gotta Be Something
You're Not Clicking On.
You Know, I Mean, Uh,
What About The Cases
You Had Together,
Uh, The Little Things
You Pick Up?
Oh, Damn It, Hunter!
The Magastretti Hit.
The Bullet From Chicago That
Took Out East Side Charlie?
Whenever A Button Man
Comes To Town Or Someone
Goes To Ground,
Procedure Is A Search
Of All Flophouses
And Apartments, Right?
Right.
Well, The Thing That
Impressed Both Me And Gus
Was That This Guy
Who Hit East Side Charlie
Came To Town
And Rented An Office.
I Mean, You Never Think
Of Offices For Lease.
How Many Of Them Are There
That Never Get Checked?
You Think?
Works For Me.
[Ring]
Executive Realty.
This Is Terri.
Hi, Terri.
This Is Gus Trancas.
Gus Trancas.
Oh, Oh, Yes, Of Course.
How Do You Do,
Mr. Trancas?
Well, I Really
Don't Know.
I Haven't Received
Those Lease Agreements Yet.
Is There Some Problem?
Problem? Well, No.
I Don't See How There
Could Be A Problem.
You Know, I Could Have
Sworn That Those Leases
Came Back
With The Signatures.
Hold On Just A Minute,
And I'll Check.
All Right.
Why Are We Doing This, Huh?
You Want To Tell Me That?
You Want To Find
Gus Trancas?
Well, Why Don't We Just
Go Down There,
Flash Our Badges,
And Ask Them?
Why Don't We Just Take
Out A Billboard Ad
And Say, "Hey, Gus,
The Heat's On."
Mr. Trancas?
Yes?
Well,
I Don't Understand.
I Have Those Signed Leases
Right Here In Front Of Me.
Would You Hold, Please,
Till I Get My Secretary
On The Line?
Thank You.
[Clicking]
Come On.
Yes, Hello.
This Is Annie.
Oh, Hi, Annie.
Hi. Apparently I Have Lost
All The Lease Agreements.
You See, I Was Out
Of The Office Last Week,
And There Was A Temp In.
Tell Me About It.
Oh, Honey, I Know, I Know.
Now, Let's See. It Was
A Studio City Duplex.
Oh, No, This Is
For The Century City
High-Rise.
Uh, 21250
Century Park East,
Suite 810.
Oh, Well, There You Go.
You See, I Told Him He Was
Going Crazy Over Nothing.
I Have Those Leases.
It's The Studio City
Duplex Lease That's Lost.
Well, That'll Teach Me
To Go On Vacation, Huh?
Right. Bye-Bye.
Well?
21250 Century Park East.
Made It.
Don't Slam It.
I Can't.
Hey, Hey, Hey,
Loosen Up,
Sergeant.
Why?
Well, You Know Why.
This Is No Way To Go
In There And Face This Guy.
What Are You
Talking About?
You Know Exactly
What I'm Talking About.
Rein It In. Do The Job.
You Lead With Your Emotions,
And You Won't Be In Control.
I Am Totally In Control.
You Don't Like The Way
I'm Handling This Case,
You Can Wait In The Car.
Oh, I Can't.
The Door Won't Open.
Come On.
I Don't Believe It.
Trick Or Treat, Gus.
Peddle It Next Door.
That's A Sucker Bet,
Gus.
Well, You Did It Again,
Didn't You, Honey?
Went And Brought
In The Heat.
Hunter's Just Here
As A Friend.
Hers, Not Yours,
Meatball.
Hunter, Please.
What The Hell's
Going On, Gus, Huh?
What Are You Doing?
What The Hell
Do You Care?
I Do Care! It Cost Me
A Lot To Find You.
I Care A Lot,
And So Does Marilyn.
I Got A Lot Of Caring
From The Two Of You.
Up To Here I Got
Your Caring.
If You're Looking
For A Good Bust,
Go Someplace Else.
Don't Do It, Gus.
I Don't Know What
You're Talking About,
And I Don't Need A License
For This Thing.
What Kind Of Hunting
You Planning To Do
With This, Gus?
Take Your Friend
And Shove Off.
Let Me Help You, Gus.
When I Needed Your Help,
You Weren't There.
When I Needed You
To Stand Up For Me,
You Folded Like
A Bad Poker Hand.
I Did
What I Had To Do.
I Couldn't Lie,
And You Wouldn't
Have Wanted Me To.
Aren't You Living
In Some Fairy Tale?
I Was One Of The Best
Damn Cops On The Force.
I Was First In My Class
Out Of The Academy.
'Cause I Was Doing My Job,
'Cause I Wasted Some Slob,
I End Up Chalking
The Unemployment Line.
Take This Broad
And Get Outta Here!
Gus, For God Sakes,
You Can't Go Through
With This.
I Know You,
And You Can't.
You Never Knew Me.
And I Never
Knew You, Honey.
I Told You To Get Out.
She Doesn't
Want To Hear, Right?
She Thinks You're
Gonna Talk To Me
Man-To-Man, Maybe?
No, I'm Gonna Talk
To You Cop-To-Creep.
That Lady Out There
Gives A Damn About You.
Why Is Beyond Me.
But She's Just
Trying To Flag You
Off The Track
To Keep You
From Hitting The Wall.
Come On. We're Both
Big Boys, Hunter.
We Both Know What's
Going On Out There.
You Know What
Happened To Me--
Exactly What Always Happens
To Guys Like Me...
Like Us.
Don't Flatter
Yourself, Pal.
You And I
Are Nothing Alike.
All I Can Tell You, Hunter,
Is Watch Out.
She'll Do You
Like She Did Me.
She Didn't Send Me
In Here, Trancas.
I'm Not In Here
To Save You.
I'm In Here To
Let You Know This
Is A Hard Contract.
You're Gonna
Feel My Breath
Right Down Your Neck,
And When You Look Down,
My Shadow's Gonna Be
Blocking Out Yours.
And When You Stop
To Look Back,
I'm Gonna Steamroll
Right Over
The Top Of You.
All That's Gonna
Be Left Is Something
For The Dogs To Lap Up.
You Don't Breathe
Heavy On Me, And I Fold.
Keep Coming. I'm Waiting.
Gus Trancas Has Taken
All He's Gonna Take.
I'm Gonna Go Down Hard.
Works For Me.
I Want To Know What You
Said To Him, Hunter.
I Told You It Was Nothing,
Just A Hello And A Good-Bye.
I Forgot My Cigarettes.
You Don't Smoke, Hunter.
Oh, Yeah? You Should Have
Seen Me A Few Minutes Ago.
[Tires Squeal]
Hey, He's Going For It.
Come Here, Come Here.
Come On, Come On!
You're Losing Him.
I'm Already Up To
Warp Speed As It Is.
What Do You Want Me
To Do?
Trancas Always Was
A Hell Of A Driver.
I Think He Got Away.
There's Nothing Here
To Tell Us Anything.
He's Cleaned Out,
And Now He's Gonna
Crawl Into A Hole
And Pull It In
After Him.
We Found Him Once,
We'll Find Him Again.
There's More Than One Way
Back Into This Case.
If We Can't Find The Shooter,
We'll Work Backwards--
Find Out Who He's After
And Then Head Him Off.
Gus Wouldn't Have Had That
Phone Put In If He Didn't
Want To Call Somebody.
I Can't Let Him Go Down
Like This, Hunter.
He Was My Partner.
I Owe Him.
Dee Dee, Partners Don't Owe,
They Just Do.
[Telephone Rings]
Yeah?
Smitty: Got That Info
For You.
Hold On. Yeah,
What Do You Got?
Hunter, Only One Number
Was Dialed From That Phone--
555-3793.
Thanks.
Well, Did They Run It?
They Didn't Have To.
I Know Who This Number
Belongs To.
Who? Let's Go Find Him.
If Gus Called
That Number For Help,
We Won't Have To
Go Find Anyone.
They'll Find Me.
Wake Up, Hunter.
You Got An Appointment.
It's About Time.
I Fell Asleep
Waiting For You Guys.
Look At This, Will You?
Factory Sealed?
Does That Look Like
It's Factory Sealed?
It Looked Like It Was
Wrapped By My 2-Year-Old.
Now Get The Machine Working
The Way It's Supposed To.
Good Morning, Jilly.
Hey, Rick. I Didn't Know
You Could Get Up This Early.
Well, I Usually Do Sleep
Till 6 A.M.
Oh, You Could Have Dressed.
Well, They Could Have
Given Me A Chance.
"Indiana Jones And
The Temple Of Doom"?
Oh, That's A Hot One.
I Got An Order
For More Units Of That
Than I Can Push Out.
Come On, Keep It.
It Won't Be On Tape
For Almost A Year.
I Don't Have A Recorder.
Hey, Vinnie, Go Get Him
One Of Those New Vcrs
Out Of The Back.
A Good One
With The Remote, Huh?
I'd Hate To Think
These Tapes Are Pirated.
I'd Hate To Think You're
Gonna Get Your Beak
Caught In The Doorjamb.
You Know Why You're Here?
Well, It's Not To Watch
Videos And Eat Popcorn.
I Was Asked To Talk To You.
Some People Are Getting
A Little Nervous
That You're Gonna
Mess Up Their Plans.
Oh, Then I Must Be
Doing My Job Then, Huh?
Oh, Come On, Rick,
Smarten Up.
The Only Reason
Why You Didn't Wake Up
In The Trunk Of Your Car
Is Because Terry Franks
Knows That We're Cousins.
Since When Are We Involved
With The Franks Family?
Well, They Just Don't
Know How To Figure You.
They Don't Know How
To Approach You,
So They Figured You And I
Being First Cousins
That Maybe I Could Get You
To Listen To Reason.
What Were You Gonna Do,
Bully Me, Jilly?
Hey, Your Dad Told Me
A Long Time Ago
That You Never Threaten
To Bully A Guy
Unless You're Gonna
Back It Up.
So I'm Asking You
As A Friend,
Will You Leave This Alone
And Back Off?
Now, That's
A Factory Seal.
Dave Endicott's
Got To Be The Target.
Patrolman Dave Endicott
Is Gonna Testify
Against Terry Franks.
It Would All Make Sense.
It Would Be A Natural
To Think That An Ex-Cop
Could Pull A Hit
On Another Cop.
And Gus
Knows Procedure
For Protecting
And Moving A Witness
To The Court.
Maybe He Knows Him.
Maybe He Knows
His Personal Habits.
Hi. We Need
To See Captain Cain
Right Away.
Oh, He's Not In.
He'll Probably Be
Checking In With Me
Later Today.
This Can't Wait
Till Later Today.
Well, He's Gonna Be
At The Courthouse
Sometime This Afternoon.
Courthouse? Does This
Have Anything To Do
With Officer Endicott?
Captain Cain And
Bernie Terwilliger
Are In Charge Of Security
On That Case.
When Are They
Scheduled To Be There?
They're Probably
At The Courthouse Already.
Come On, Let's Go.
Let's Hope Gus Hasn't
Made His Move Yet.
Mr. Endicott?
Officer Endicott?
Excuse Me, Mr. Endicott.
So?
They Didn't Get To Him.
He's Gotta Come Back
And Testify Tomorrow.
Cain's Got About 10 Officers
Working Security.
12.
Look, Thanks, Hunter.
I Know You've Dodged
A Lot Of Departmental Flak.
Well, I've Been On This
Rugged Graffiti Thing.
It's Been Tough,
But I'm Hanging
In There For You.
Thanks.
There He Goes.
You Know, Hunter,
I Know This Sounds Strange,
But He's Nearby.
I Can Feel It.
You Still Think
This Guy's Pretty
Special, Don't You?
If Anybody Can Pull Off
This Contract, It's Gus.
Dee Dee, Don't Feel
Responsible For This Guy.
When Gus Dropped
That Cold Piece
In The Alley That Night,
He Did It To Himself.
I Just Wish I Didn't
Have To Be The One
To Push The Button.
Well, You're
The Only One That Could.
It Was A Hard Contract.
Roger.
He's On His Way Up.
Damn It, Hunter,
Get Outta Here.
I Tried To Have Dispatch
Reach You, Captain.
I Got The Call.
Obviously,
Terwilliger And I
Can Take Care Of Any Kind
Of Assassination Attempt.
Assassination Attempt?
Mccall: Captain,
I Know Trancas.
I Can Think
Like Him.
Get Off The Premises,
The Both Of You!
You're Not On This Detail.
Sir, I Can Take Care
Of Sergeant Hunter
And Sergeant Mccall
If I Have To March Them
All The Way Back
To The Precinct House.
Well, I Think You've Really
Done It This Time, Hunter.
I'm Kinda Surprised
To See You Here, Bernie.
You Know There's Not
One Piece Of Graffiti
On This Entire Hotel?
I'll Ignore
That Flip Remark.
Where
Are They Going?
The Floor That Endicott
Is Being Held On
Is Blocked Off
By 10 Security Cops.
I Think He'll Be Safe
For The Night.
We Don't Need You Here.
You Can Go Home.
Let Me Buy You
Dinner, Dee Dee.
And I'll Stay With You
To Make Sure You Stay
In The Restaurant
And Don't Get
In The Way, Hunter.
This Number--
He's In The Hotel!
Hunter, There Are No
13Th Floors In A Hotel.
Gus Was A Master
With Electronics.
It Was His Hobby.
Yeah, He Rewired
All The Elevator Panels.
What Are You Two
Sniveling About?
You Add The 13Th Floor,
It Throws The Floor Count
Off By One Floor.
Bernie, What Floor Are
They Holding Endicott On?
You Got About As
Much Chance Of Being
Voted Rose Queen
As You Do Of Getting
That Out Of Me,
Hunter.
Bernie!
15.
Ok, This Elevator's
Gonna Stop On 16.
All The Security Police Are
Gathered On The Floor Below.
They'll Walk
Right Into An Ambush.
Hunter, Are You Saying--
Is There Gonna Be
A Shootout, Hunter?
Stop The Elevator.
I Got A Better Chance
Of Beating This Thing
To The Top
If I Run The Stairs.
Stay With Mccall, Bernie,
And Get Your Piece Out.
Man: Hold On, Endicott.
We'll Be There In A Second.
Shoulda Been Here By Now.
I've Been Hit!
Bernie!
What?
You're Shooting Our Cops!
I Was...
Out Of My Way, Mccall.
You're Under
Arrest, Gus.
Drop It.
You Can't Do It, Mccall.
But I Can.
You Want To Try Me, Gus?
I'll Blow Your Heart Out.
Are You Ok, Mccall?
Damn It.
Damn It, Gus, Why?
You Sold Me Out.
You Ratted,
And Now You Gotta Live
With What Happens To Me.
No Way, Man.
No Way.
You Gotta Own This One
All By Yourself.
How You Doing, Kid?
Just Great.
How About A Game
Of One-Legged Football?
Hey, I'll Punt.
I Made It!
I Made It To The Public
Relations Division.
I Have Just Been
Reassigned.
Congratulations, Bernie.
I Guess All Those
Street Artisans
Can Breathe
A Sigh Of Relief
Knowing You're Not
Gonna Be Out There.
Right After We Talk
To My Cousin Jilly
About Pirated Tapes,
Remind Me
To Call My Broker
And Let's Order
Spray Paint Stock.
That's Very Funny,
Hunter.
I Think The Captain's
Report Said It All.
I Was The One That Stood
Up At That Gunfight.
Cain Has Put Me Up
For 2--I Repeat--
2 Commendations.
Bernie, You Shot
Captain Cain In The Back.
That Has Not Been Proved.
Anyway, That's Not What
The Official Report Says.
So You're A Real Hero
Now, Huh, Bernie?
A Hero On The Way
To Public Relations.
Be Careful. Don't Choke
On Any Martini Olives.
I'm Gonna Be So Glad
To Get Out Of This Crazy
Shoot-'Em-Up Division,
Even Though I Am One
Of The Top Shooters.
I Have Spent Enough Time
In The War Zone.
That'll Be Good
For Bernie.
Yeah.
You Know, I Was Just
Thinking About Gus.
There Was A Time
I Looked Up To Him.
Hey, Listen, Hunter.
Want To Make
A Hard Contract?
With You?
Anytime.
You Don't Let Me Slide.
I'll Keep You Straight,
If You Do The Same For Me.
You Won't Slide.
You're Too Hardheaded.
Well, It Can
Happen Slowly.
Sometimes, Maybe,
You Don't Even Know
It's Happening.
Or It Can Happen Fast,
Like With Bernie.
Suck-Fish To Hero
In One Shining Moment,
And All He Had To Do
Was Trigger Our Captain.
Excuse Me!
Uh, I Have An Announcement
To Make.
I Know That You're
All Concerned
That A Fine Officer
Like Bernie Terwilliger's
Being Reassigned.
I Don't Blame You.
We Have Firsthand Proof
That This Officer
Reacts With Courage
Under Fire.
Now, When This Was
Brought To The Attention
Of The Deputy Chief,
He Did The Right Thing.
I Have A Memo
Sent From His Office
This Morning.
Sir, I Don't See Why--
"Due To The Gallantry
And Heroism Under Fire,
"It Is The View
Of This Department That
It Would Be Pure Folly
"To Remove This
Courageous Officer
From His Duties Under Fire.
"With This In Mind,
I Have Reconsidered
His Assignment
"In Public Relations
"And Put Him In The Highest
Crime Area Of The City.
"I Know All Of Us On The Job
Can Feel Better
"Knowing That
Sergeant Terwilliger
Is Out There
"Standing
Shoulder To Shoulder
With The Other Fine Officers
Of This Division."
That A Boy, Bernie.
Sir, I Would Really
Much Prefer That Job
In Public Relations.
Bernie, Congratulations.
Well, It Seems There Is
A Subtle Justice In Life
At Play, After All.
Stop It, Hunter.
It Hurts When I Laugh.
