Hunter (1984–1991): Season 2, Episode 15 - Scrap Metal - full transcript

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?

IT'S ABOUT THE KILLING

YOU WERE SENT
UP ON 15 YEARS AGO.

WHY WOULD I WANT HIM DEAD?

I WANT TO MAKE A CONFESSION.

I KILLED YOUR DAD.

THEY CAUGHT THE JUNKIE
THAT KILLED YOUR FATHER.

IT WAS MARCO BROKOW.

MARCO, MARCO, MARCO.

I PROBABLY TURNED
DOWN $300 IN TRADE.

THIS IS USUALLY THE POINT
WHERE I TAKE OFF MY CLOTHES.



ALICIA, YOU'RE A KEY WITNESS.

HIYA.

YOU'RE A DEAD MAN, HUNTER.

IT WORKS FOR ME.

YOU GOT HERE JUST
IN TIME, HUNTER.

I'M BUSTING OUT OF HERE TONIGHT.

SKIP THE JOKES.

YOU GOT 5 MINUTES.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT TO MAKE A
CONFESSION, HUNTER.

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU,

FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR
ME AFTER THAT LAST BUST.

I KILLED YOUR DAD.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT, DRAKO?

THEY GOT THE MAN
THAT KILLED MY FATHER,



AND YOU KNOW IT.

AH, THAT STUPID PUNK.

NO.

I DID YOUR OLD MAN IN.

CONTRACT HIT.

PAID FOR AND DONE BY ME.

FIRST TIME I EVER RATTED...

HA... AND LAST.

WHO PUT OUT THE HIT?

VINNIE BROKOW.

MY FATHER'S
PARTNER? YOU'RE A LIAR.

SENT HIS KID MARCO THE CASH.

BUT THE ORDER CAME FROM VINNIE.

LOOK AT ME.

I'M DYING.

WOULD I LIE TO YOU NOW?

HUH?

DRAKO?

DRAKO!

SO MAYBE HE HAD A GRUDGE
AGAINST VINNIE BROKOW.

DID YOU THINK OF THAT?

THERE'S NO CONNECTION
BETWEEN VINNIE BROKOW AND DRAKO.

IF THEY EVER MET, IT
WAS JUST THAT ONE TIME.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

I MEAN, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE

THAT SOMEBODY WANTS TO
SPEND THEIR LAST 5 MINUTES

ON EARTH LYING TO SOMEBODY...

LIEUTENANT, I WAS THERE,
REMEMBER. YOU WEREN'T.

DRAKO WAS TELLING
THE TRUTH, ALL RIGHT.

WHAT ABOUT THE GUY
THAT GOT SENT UP?

WHAT WAS THAT, A LITTLE MISTAKE?

IT WAS A BIG MISTAKE.

SO WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO DO ABOUT IT?

I WANT TO OPEN THIS THING UP.

I THINK SOMETHING STINKS HERE.

ON OFFICIAL DEPARTMENT TIME?

WELL, WHY NOT?

THERE'S NO STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS ON MURDER.

I THINK YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT PERSONAL

AND PRIVATE BUSINESS.

WELL, IT IS PERSONAL,

AS YOU WELL KNOW, LIEUTENANT,

BUT I DON'T THINK
HOMICIDE IS PRIVATE.

NOW, I'VE GOT 2 WEEKS
VACATION TIME COMING TO ME.

I WANNA TAKE 'EM RIGHT
NOW AND WORK ON THIS CASE.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT IT.

OH, ANOTHER THING. IF I FIND OUT

WE'VE GOT THE WRONG MAN
WHO MURDERED MY FATHER,

I WANNA BE PUT BACK
ON OFFICIAL DUTY TIME,

RETROACTIVE TO TODAY.

OK, IT'S A DEAL.

BUT, HUNTER, STAY IN TOUCH.

YOU NEVER KNOW
WHEN YOU MIGHT NEED

A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS.

HERE IT IS.

JUST CAME IN. LAST
KNOWN ADDRESS.

YEAH, GREAT. THANKS.

WHERE YOU GOING?

I, MY DEAR, AM
GOING ON VACATION.

NOW, THAT'S A COINCIDENCE.

HOW'S THAT?

I JUST PUT IN FOR MY VACATION.

WHEN DID YOU DO THAT?

ABOUT THE TIME THAT YOU WENT IN

TO TALK TO THE LIEUTENANT.

I GOT 2 WEEKS COMING TO ME, TOO.

YOU MUST LIVE RIGHT,
DEE DEE. HE SIGNED IT.

THANKS.

OK, LET'S GO.

HELLO.

HELLO. MAY I HELP YOU?

YEAH, IS THAT FLOYD
DUDLEY BACK THERE?

YES, IT IS.

COULD WE TALK TO HIM, PLEASE?

FLOYD DUDLEY?

YEAH. OH, CAN I HELP
YOU WITH SOMETHING?

IT'S THE COPS.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM, OFFICER?

I'M SERGEANT HUNTER.
THIS IS SERGEANT McCALL.

WE'D JUST LIKE TO ASK YOU A
FEW QUESTIONS, MR. DUDLEY.

IT'S ABOUT THE KILLING

YOU WERE SENT
UP ON 15 YEARS AGO.

OH, MAN, HEY, COME ON.

DON'T DO THIS TO ME, PLEASE.

I DID MY TIME.
THAT'S HISTORY NOW.

WELL, THAT'S TRUE,

SOON AS YOUR PAROLE IS
DONE OR YOU GET A PARDON.

THAT'LL BE THE DAY.

YOUR NAME'S HUNTER.

YEAH, RICK HUNTER.

YOU'RE HIS SON.

YOU WERE THERE AT
THE TRIAL EVERY DAY.

YES, I WAS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT THE TRUTH
FROM YOU, FLOYD.

YOU CAN TELL US YOU DID IT,

AND YOUR PAROLE
WILL STILL STAND.

ALL SERGEANT HUNTER
WANTS TO KNOW IS,

DID YOU REALLY KILL HIS FATHER?

GET OUTTA HERE.

GO ON, GET OUTTA HERE!

WELL, FLOYD, DID YOU?

DID YOU KILL MY DAD?

NO.

NO.

NO.

NO.

I KNOW YOU DIDN'T, FLOYD.

WHAT?

BUT YOU DID BREAK INTO

THE H&B SCRAP METAL
YARD THAT NIGHT, DIDN'T YOU?

NO, I DIDN'T. I DIDN'T...

I DIDN'T HAVE TO BREAK IN.

THE GATE WAS ALREADY UNLOCKED.

I TOLD IT LIKE
THAT AT THE TRIAL.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING THERE THEN?

I ALREADY ADMITTED
WHY I WAS THERE.

I WAS LOOKING TO... STEAL...

I DON'T KNOW, PETTY
CASH, WHATEVER.

AND YOU WENT UP THE
STAIRS TO THE OFFICE.

NO, I...

MAN, I DIDN'T EVEN
MAKE IT HALFWAY

UP THEM STAIRS

AND I HEARD 2 GUNSHOTS, BAM BAM,

AND I CUT OUT FAST,
DOWN THE STAIRS,

OUT THE GATE, UP THE STREET,

SMACK INTO A BLACK AND WHITE.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT FOR LUCK?

DID YOU SEE ANYBODY ELSE AROUND?

NO.

IF I HAD, I WOULDN'T
HAVE GONE IN.

WHAT'D YOU DO WITH THE GUN

IF YOU HAD 2 COPS ON
YOUR TAIL LIKE THAT?

I DIDN'T HAVE A GUN.

IF I'D HAVE HAD A GUN,

I COULD HAVE SOLD
IT TO BUY THE DOPE.

HE DID IT FOR ME.

I WAS THE ONE WITH
THE HABIT, NOT HIM.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, SWEETHEART.

SHE'S CLEAN NOW.

SHE HASN'T EVEN CHIPPED FOR,

WHAT, 18 MONTHS?

18 MONTHS.

THAT'S RIGHT.
SINCE I'VE BEEN OUT.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO
AHEAD AND SHOW THEM?

NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.

WELL, THANKS FOR
TALKING TO ME, FLOYD.

I APPRECIATE
HEARING IT FROM YOU.

AND ONCE THIS
THING IS ALL SETTLED,

I'LL DO EVERYTHING
I POSSIBLY CAN

TO GET YOUR NAME CLEARED.

YEAH, WELL...

IF IT'S ALL THE SAME TO YOU,

WE'D APPRECIATE IT IF
YOU JUST LEFT US ALONE.

McCALL: HOW'D THEY
EXPLAIN THAT AT THE TRIAL?

WHAT?

WELL, THEY CAUGHT HIM
LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY,

BUT THEY NEVER FOUND THE GUN.

HOW'D THEY COVER THAT?

WELL, THEY FIGURED THAT
HE JUST TOSSED THE GUN

AND SOMEONE
FOUND IT AND KEPT IT.

SO HOW DO YOU FIGURE IT NOW?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?

I'M ASKING YOU.

I BELIEVE HIM.

I DON'T THINK HE HAD A GUN.

ALL RIGHT.

SO WHERE WE GOING?

H&B SCRAP METALS.

H AS IN HUNTER, B AS IN BROKOW.

HOW YOU DOING?

I NEED TO SEE VINCE BROKOW.

OH, YEAH? YOU GOT
AN APPOINTMENT?

NO. NO APPOINTMENT,
BUT I'VE GOT THIS.

YEAH? YOU GOT A WARRANT
TO GO ALONG WITH IT?

WELL, I DON'T WANT
TO ARREST HIM.

I JUST WANT TO TALK TO HIM.

WHY DON'T YOU USE A TELEPHONE.

ALL RIGHT. RIGHT THERE, HUNTER.

MARCO, MARCO, MARCO.

RICKY, RICKY...

RICKY.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOUR OLD MAN.

HE'S NOT IN.

OH, COME ON NOW.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE HIM A CALL.

IF HE WANTS TO SEE
YOU, I'M SURE THAT

HIS SECRETARY WILL
SET UP AN APPOINTMENT.

OH, HE'S HEARD ABOUT DRAKO, HUH?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

AND I COULD CARE LESS.

NOW GET OUT OF HERE.

THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY.

WELL, TELL HIM I'LL BE BACK.

RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, GO ON HOME.

MARCO SAID WE SHOULD
STAY WITH YOU, MR. BROKOW.

DOES HE WANT YOU TO SLEEP
WITH ME, FOR GOD'S SAKES?

GET OUTTA HERE.
I'M GOING TO BED.

GOOD NIGHT. GOOD NIGHT.

IT'S NICE TO SEE A SON
CARE ABOUT HIS FATHER.

OH, RICK! YOU SHOULDN'T GO
SNEAKING UP ON ME LIKE THAT!

I COULD HAVE SHOT YOU!

I WOULDN'T LET
THAT HAPPEN, VINNIE.

RICK, YOU CAN
CALL ME UP ANYTIME.

YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT MARCO SAID.

OH, YOU KNOW MARCO.
SOMETIMES HE'S TOO MUCH.

CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING?

YEAH, YOU CAN GET ME
A SIGNED CONFESSION

THAT YOU HAD PHIL
DRAKO KILL MY FATHER.

COME ON, RICK.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE
THAT NO-GOOD BUM!

YEAH.

RICK, DON'T TALK LIKE THAT,

EVEN IN A JOKE.

DRAKO HATED MY GUTS.

HE CLAIMED I CHEATED ON A DEAL.

THE ONLY DEAL YOU HAD WITH DRAKO

WAS THE ONE TO KILL
MY FATHER, VINNIE.

YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND!

THEY CAUGHT THE JUNKIE
THAT KILLED YOUR FATHER.

RICK, YOUR FATHER
AND I WERE FRIENDS.

PARTNERS.

WHY WOULD I WANT HIM DEAD?

WHY WOULD YOU WANT HIM DEAD?

TO TAKE OVER THE BUSINESS

AND GO IN WITH THE
MOB. THAT'S WHY.

RICK, ON MY MOTHER'S GRAVE,

I DIDN'T PUT OUT THE
CONTRACT ON YOUR DAD.

YOU'RE A LIAR.

IT'S GOD'S TRUTH!

ALL RIGHT, WHAT THE
HELL IS GOING ON HERE?

HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE, HUH?

THROUGH THE BACK DOOR.

YOU GOT A WARRANT?

COME ON, SHOW ME YOUR WARRANT!

WELL, I'LL BE DAMNED.

I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY, VINNIE.

IT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT? YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD.
GET OUT OF HERE!

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO
HOOKED UP WITH PHIL DRAKO

AND TOOK A CONTRACT
OUT ON MY OLD MAN.

YOU PAID HIM OFF, DIDN'T YOU?

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED, ISN'T IT?

Vinnie: RICK, STOP IT!

BOTH OF YOU, STOP IT!

MARCO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

YOU'RE A DEAD MAN, HUNTER.

NO, YOU GOT IT WRONG.

YOU'RE THE DEAD MAN.

MS. FIORE?

YOU'RE... RICK HUNTER.

UH-HUH. I'M SURPRISED
YOU REMEMBER ME.

YOU BECAME A POLICEMAN.

I STILL AM.

CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?

SURE. TALK.

COULD WE GO IN THE HOUSE?

OH, NO, PLEASE. NOT MY HOUSE.

I GOTTA CLEAN IT UP.

IT'S FINE HERE. IT'S OK.

IT'S ABOUT ALICIA.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW, MS. FIORE.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HER
SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.

THAT'S WHEN SHE WAS
BEAUTIFUL, AN ANGEL.

SHE SURE WAS.

YOU... YOU WERE
CRAZY ABOUT ALICIA.

NOW I REMEMBER.

YEAH, BUT SHE WAS IN LOVE

WITH MARCO BROKOW.

BECAUSE HE WAS
OLDER, HE WAS FLASHIER.

HE SPENT MONEY ON HER. CAPITO?

MS. FIORE, YOU SURE YOU
WOULDN'T WANT TO SIT DOWN

AND HAVE A GLASS OF
WINE OR SOMETHING?

RICK, I DON'T HEAR
FROM ALICIA FOR 3 YEARS.

SHE MOVED AWAY A LONG TIME AGO

TO GO AND LIVE WITH THIS MARCO!

NOW, IN 1971, SHE LIVED
WITH MARCO. IS THAT RIGHT?

YES. WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

WELL, IN 1971 MARCO
COMMITTED A CRIME.

I WAS HOPING THAT MAYBE ALICIA

COULD HELP ME PROVE THAT.

OH, I'M SORRY.

I CAN'T HELP YOU.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE LIVES.

SHE'S A PROSTITUTE!

RICK!

I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS.

I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S SICK,

IF SHE'S IN JAIL.

MAYBE SHE'S EVEN
DEAD, KILL HERSELF.

DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE
OF HER, MS. FIORE?

YES, I'VE GOT TO
HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH.

LET ME HELP YOU.

BUT YOU GIVE IT BACK TO ME, OK?

I WILL. COME ON, I'LL
WALK YOU TO THE HOUSE.

HER REAL NAME'S ALICIA FIORE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
NAME SHE TRICKS UNDER.

SHE'S A LOT OLDER
THAN THAT, TOO.

I GOT THAT OUT OF MY
HIGH SCHOOL SCRAPBOOK.

HEY, YOU A COP?

NO, WHAT ARE YOU, KIDDING?

LOOK, ALICIA IS AN OLD FRIEND.

SHE HAD A KID. SHE
HAD A LITTLE GIRL.

SHE SENT HER UP TO SEATTLE
TO LIVE WITH HER MOTHER,

AND THE OLD LADY DIED.

NOW HER SISTER WANTS TO
PUT THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION.

I JUST THINK SHE OUGHT TO
KNOW ABOUT IT, THAT'S ALL.

LOOK, I MAY HAVE SEEN
HER AROUND, YOU KNOW,

BUT I DON'T KNOW.

NO, KEEP IT, OK? I MADE COPIES.

YOU KNOW GIRLS IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SHOW IT AROUND, WILL
YOU? DO ME A FAVOR, OK?

IF YOU SEE HER,
YOU HEAR ANYTHING,

GIVE ME A CALL. MY
NUMBER'S ON THE BACK.

OH! ONE OF MY REGULARS.

HEY, LYMON.

HOW ARE YA, HONEY?

LYMON?

SO WHAT DO YOU GOT?

NOTHING MUCH.

IT'S STILL A LITTLE TOO
SOON. WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WELL, I HAD A
MEETING WITH THIS GUY,

AND HE STOOD ME UP.

RIGHT AFTER I DROP YOU OFF,

I'M GONNA GO FIND OUT
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

IN THE MEANTIME, BE CAREFUL.

WE PICKED UP A TAIL.

THANKS, LYMON. SEE YOU LATER.

HI, GIRLS.

EXCUSE ME.

HI, BOYS.

CAN'T YOU READ, SUCKER?

THE SIGN SAYS PRIVATE.

YEAH. CAN YOU GUYS READ THAT?

PUT THAT BACK IN YOUR POCKET

AND SHUFFLE IT
OUT THE DOOR, MAN,

BEFORE SOMEBODY
MAKES YOU EAT IT.

YOU'RE RIGHT. I APOLOGIZE.

I'LL MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.

BACK.

I KNOW WALTER PAYTON.

GET BACK NOW.

WHAT IS IT, HUNTER?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

RIGHT NOW, HOMER, YOU CAN
TELL THIS GUY TO GET OFF MY BACK.

Bodyguard: HEY, HOMER!

HEY! JUST BE COOL, MAN!

STAY CLOSE.

HE'LL BE LEAVING
IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES.

Bodyguard: YELL IF YOU NEED US!

YOU AND I HAD A
MEETING. REMEMBER THAT?

I WAITED. YOU DIDN'T
SHOW UP. WHAT HAPPENED?

I GOT THE WORD, MAN.

I BEST BE DEAF AND
DUMB OR I'LL BE DEAD.

WHO PUT THAT WORD OUT?

THAT DON'T MATTER.

THE WORD IS THE
WORD, AND I BELIEVE IT.

HOMER, IT MATTERS
TO ME. WHO PUT IT OUT?

I, UH...

I TELL YOU, AND YOU SPLIT.

NOBODY KNOWS WHERE
YOU HEAR IT, RIGHT?

RIGHT, YEAH.

IT WAS MARCO BROKOW.

NOW THERE'S THE
DOOR. LET IT HIT YOU

WHERE THE GOOD LORD SPLIT YOU.

OK.

SHE USED TO WORK
FOR YOU. WHERE IS SHE?

HUNTER, YOU DON'T
LET UP, DO YOU?

NO, I DON'T.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS.

I DUMPED HER ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO.

WHY? WHAT DO YOU WANT HER FOR?

BROKOW'S LOOKING FOR HER,

AND I DON'T WANT
HIM TO FIND HER.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

SO IF YOU HAPPEN
TO HEAR ANYTHING,

LET ME KNOW, WILL YA?

I CAN DO THAT.

GOOD. NOW GET ME OUT OF HERE.

EXCUSE ME.

A LOT OF BEEF,
HOMER. A LOT OF BEEF.

Radio: L56, COME IN, PLEASE.

THIS IS L56.

Radio: L56, I HAVE A PATCH
FROM SERGEANT McCALL FOR YOU.

GOOD. PATCH HER THROUGH.

ROGER, L56. HANG ON.

McCall: HUNTER, YOU READING ME?

YEAH, I READ YOU LOUD AND CLEAR.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

I'M AT THE SIDESHOW.

IT'S A BAR OVER HERE
ON THE BOULEVARD.

ONE OF THE LADIES I
SHOWED ALICIA'S PICTURE TO

THINKS THAT SHE
MIGHT BE IN HERE.

I THINK I FOUND HER.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU THINK?

IS IT OR ISN'T IT?

I DON'T KNOW. I
CAN'T TELL FOR SURE.

SHE'S BLOND,

BUT SHE DOES HAVE
THOSE BROWN EYES.

YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU
OUGHT TO COME OVER.

SHE'S WORTH A LOOK.

OK, I'M ABOUT 5 BLOCKS FROM YOU.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE. L56 OUT.

THERE SHE IS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I DON'T KNOW. I CAN'T TELL.

WANNA TALK TO HER?

YEAH, I DO,

BUT WE SHOULD
PROBABLY TALK TO HER

WHEN SHE'S BY HERSELF.
YOU FOLLOW HER,

FIND OUT WHERE SHE
LIVES, AND I'LL BACK YOU UP.

HIYA.

TURN AROUND.

COME ON, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

SPREAD 'EM OUT.

COME ON!

WHAT'S GOING ON, MAN?

WE'RE JUST HERE
TO VISIT OUR MOTHER.

WHAT'S HER NAME?

GEE WHIZ!

NO, HUH-UH. I'M NOT
GONNA BRING 'EM IN THERE.

I'M ON VACATION,
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

NOW BOOK 'EM ON POSSESSION
OF A CONCEALED WEAPON

AND ASSAULT ON A POLICE OFFICER.

Radio: POSSESSION AND ASSAULT.

RIGHT. L56 OUT.

YEAH, WHAT?

NAME'S DEE DEE.
YOU DON'T KNOW ME.

I'M A FRIEND OF A FRIEND.

WHAT FRIEND?

DIANA,

THE ONE THEY CALL LADY DI.

HI.

HI.

SO, HOW'S DI ENJOYING
THE COUNTRY?

SHE'S MAKING IT.

SHE'S GONNA BE OUT NEXT MONTH.

SHE ASKED ME TO LOOK YOU
UP WHEN I GOT INTO TOWN.

WELL, ANY FAVOR I CAN
DO FOR DI, JUST ASK.

OH, IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

SHE'S GOT A FAVOR FOR YOU.

SHE SAID TO TELL YOU
MARCO'S LOOKING FOR YOU

AND THAT IT'S REAL SERIOUS.

IS THAT IT?

THAT'S IT.

THAT'S ALL SHE TOLD ME.

SHE SAID YOU'D UNDERSTAND.

YEAH.

WELL, IF THERE'S ANYTHING
I CAN DO FOR YOU...

THANKS.

YEAH.

WHERE YOU BEEN?

I RAN INTO A COUPLE
OF MARCO'S MEN.

HAD TO GET RID OF THEM.

YOU FIND OUT WHERE SHE LIVES?

YEAH, ABOUT 3 BLOCKS THAT WAY.

I TALKED TO HER TOO,
RIGHT AFTER HER JOHN LEFT.

GET IN.

SO WHAT DID SHE SAY?

HOW DID SHE REACT
WHEN YOU TOLD HER

THAT MARCO WAS LOOKING FOR HER?

SHE DIDN'T EVEN BLINK.

OH, BOY.

YOU KNOW, I HATE TO SAY THIS,

BUT I THINK IT'S HER.

WELL, WE'LL KNOW SOON ENOUGH.

IF SHE RUNS, SHE
IS. IF SHE DOESN'T...

NO, IT'S NOT HER.

YOU AND MARCO AND ALICIA WERE...

MORE THAN JUST FRIENDS
IN HIGH SCHOOL, HUH?

YEAH, MARCO AND I MET HER

WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT 16 YEARS OLD.

MARCO WAS 18 AND I WAS 17.

BOY, SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL.

OK, THERE SHE IS. LET'S GO.

NO, WAIT. LET ME. ALICIA.

ALICIA!

ALICIA!

COME ON! NOW, LOOK!

I GOTTA TALK TO YOU.

YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG GIRL.

NO, I DON'T. I'VE
GOT THE RIGHT GIRL.

YOU JUST BLEACHED YOUR HAIR.

GOD! I HOPED I'D
NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN.

LOOK, WE'RE BOTH
DIFFERENT PEOPLE,

BUT I GOTTA TALK TO YOU.

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT OUR GOOD OLD FRIEND MARCO.

NOW, COME ON, LET'S
GET OFF THE STREET.

WELL...

THIS IS USUALLY THE POINT

WHERE I TAKE OFF MY CLOTHES.

ALICIA, WE'RE FRIENDS, OK?

OK.

NOW, LOOK...

IN 1971, YOU LIVED WITH
MARCO. IS THAT RIGHT?

1971. YEAH.

YEAH, THAT WAS
WHEN I STILL THOUGHT

HE WAS GONNA MARRY ME.

DID YOU KNOW THAT 1971

WAS THE YEAR MY
FATHER WAS MURDERED?

YEAH, I KNEW.

I ALMOST CALLED YOU.

WELL, MARCO WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.

HE PUT OUT THE HIT.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

DID YOU KNOW A GUY
NAMED PHIL DRAKO?

DRAKO...

YEAH.

YOU DID? FROM WHERE?

THE HOUSE.

HE WAS ONLY THERE
ONCE, BUT I REMEMBER HIM.

I THOUGHT HE AND MARCO

WERE DOING A DOPE
DEAL OR SOMETHING.

I TOOK SOME COFFEE
INTO THE DEN FOR THEM,

AND MARCO NEARLY
THREW ME OUT OF THE ROOM.

THERE WERE 2 STACKS
OF MONEY ON THE TABLE,

AND DRAKO WAS SAYING
THAT THE COUNT WAS SHORT.

AND?

THAT'S IT.

MARCO THREW ME OUT,
SLAMMED THE DOOR.

DID YOU SEE ANYTHING?

NO.

ALTHOUGH AFTER DRAKO LEFT,

MARCO DID ASK ME IF I'D
SEEN OR HEARD ANYTHING,

AND HE WAS ACTING
KIND OF STRANGE,

KIND OF SCARED, CRAZY LIKE.

WAS THE MONEY GONE?

YUP. MARCO SAID

HE WAS PAYING OFF
AN OLD GAMBLING DEBT.

NOW, THIS WAS
AUGUST-SEPTEMBER OF 1971, RIGHT?

WELL, LET'S SEE...

WE LIVED IN THAT
APARTMENT TILL LATE '71,

AND THIS WAS A COUPLE MONTHS

BEFORE WE MOVED OUT. YEAH.

WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO
TESTIFY IN COURT TO THAT?

I GUESS SO.

THANKS, ALICIA.

HEY, WHAT HAPPENED?

I MEAN, YOU AND MARCO?

OH, THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENS

TO MILLIONS OF WOMEN.
HE GOT TIRED OF ME.

HE GOT TIRED OF HEARING
ABOUT BABIES AND MARRIAGE.

BUT YOU DON'T WANT
TO HEAR MY SAD STORY.

NO, NO, I DO. GO AHEAD, PLEASE.

I GOT PREGNANT.

HE THOUGHT I DID IT ON PURPOSE.

HE WAS RIGHT. I DID.

HE BEAT ME AROUND
UNTIL I ADMITTED IT,

AND THEN HE FORCED
ME TO HAVE AN ABORTION.

AND THEN A FEW MONTHS
LATER HE THREW ME OUT.

HE HAD ME THINKING
IT WAS ALL MY FAULT.

ALICIA, YOU CAN'T STAY
HERE. YOU KNOW THAT.

HE'LL BE LOOKING FOR YOU.

RICK, I'M A STREET WALKER.

I CAN'T HIDE.

YOU'RE A KEY WITNESS.
AND THEN AFTER THAT,

YOU CAN BE ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO BE.

COME ON, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

GET BACK INSIDE!

THAT WAS MARCO'S MEN.

YOU'RE LUCKY GOOD
HELP'S HARD TO FIND.

ALICIA!

SHE'S GONE.

Marco: I SAID I DON'T
WANNA HEAR IT.

NOW, LISTEN TO ME. I
WANT THAT JOB DONE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

A SIMPLE JOB LIKE
THAT, AND THEY BLEW IT.

SO YOU HAVE HER
KILLED. THEN WHAT?

THEN NOTHING, POP. IT'S OVER.

SHE'S THE ONLY PERSON
WHO EVER SAW ME WITH DRAKO.

THERE'S STILL HUNTER.

I'M GONNA TAKE CARE OF
HUNTER ON MY OWN TIME.

SHE'S THE ONLY ONE
THAT CAN PROVE ANYTHING.

EVEN WITH HER HE
CAN'T PROVE ANYTHING.

CAN'T YOU SEE THIS, MARCO?

I CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE, POP!

SHE SAW ME WITH DRAKO
5 DAYS BEFORE THE HIT.

SHE SAW THE MONEY!

ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT SHE HEARD.

LOOK, LET IT GO, MARCO.

HUNTER'S GOT NOTHING TO
TAKE INTO THE COURTROOM,

EVEN THOUGH HE FINDS HER.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS.

Hunter: ROUGH NIGHT?

OHH. WELL, I ONLY
DROPPED ONE ARCH,

AND I PROBABLY TURNED
DOWN $300 IN TRADE.

YOU TURNED DOWN $300 IN TRADE?

LISTEN, MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO
BECOME A SLEAZY PROSTITUTE

AND STOP BEING A COP.

JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE
ANYBODY OUT THERE TO TALK TO,

DON'T TAKE YOUR
FRUSTRATIONS OUT ON ME.

Radio: L56, COME IN.

L56. GO.

HUNTER, THIS IS FINN.

I JUST INTERCEPTED A PHONE
CALL FOR YOU FROM VINNIE BROKOW.

HE WANTS YOU IN
WADDLES PARK RIGHT NOW.

GOOD. I'LL BE THERE.

YOU THINK YOU SHOULD?
MIGHT BE A SET-UP.

YEAH, IT SEEMS A LITTLE OBVIOUS.

HOWEVER, I THINK
EVERYTHING WILL BE OK.

L56 OUT.

I'M TAKING YOU HOME.

WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT
AFTER YOU MEET HIM.

YOU MIGHT BE ABLE
TO USE SOME SUPPORT.

YOU COULD USE SOME SLEEP.

YEAH, BUT THE
LIEUTENANT'S RIGHT.

IT COULD BE A SET-UP.

ALL RIGHT. HEH HEH!

HEY, RICK.

RICK, I WANT TO TURN MYSELF IN.

WHAT, FOR FEEDING THE DUCKS?

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
IT'S ABOUT YOUR FATHER.

IT WAS ME.

I PUT OUT THE CONTRACT.

REALLY?

THE MOB WANTED TO LEND
YOUR FATHER AND ME MONEY.

I WANTED A PIECE OF THE ACTION.

BUT YOUR FATHER DIDN'T
WANT TO GO ALONG WITH THAT.

HE WANTED OUT OF THE MOB SCENE.

HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO FURTHER IN.

SO YOU HAD HIM MURDERED, HUH?

I'M TELLING YOU THE
TRUTH. RICK, LOOK,

H&B SCRAP METAL

IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
OPERATIONS IN THE STATE.

WE CONTROL MORE THAN
HALF OF THIS COUNTY.

THE MOB GETS 25%, RIGHT?

SO I GOT RICH!

LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, VINNIE.

YOU WERE A DRUNKEN OLD
MAN WHEN MY FATHER WAS ALIVE

DOING 90% OF THE WORK,

AND YOUR KID WAS SPOILED ROTTEN.

SO I SPOILED HIM. SO WHAT?

HE'S MY ONLY SON.

I WAS THE ONE THAT
PUT OUT THE CONTRACT.

SO YOUR JOB IS DONE.

NO, NO, MY JOB'S NOT
DONE UNTIL I NAIL MARCO.

BUT DON'T WORRY, VINNIE.

YOU'LL BE AN ACCESSORY
AFTER THE FACT.

RICK, I'M OFFERING
YOU A FULL CONFESSION.

LOOKIT, DRAKO ALREADY FINGERED
MARCO FOR THE PAY-OFF, OK?

IT WAS IN A SEALED ENVELOPE.

MARCO DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT WAS IN IT.

YOU'RE A LIAR, VINNIE.
HE KNEW WHAT WAS IN IT.

DRAKO WAS PAID IN
BUNDLES OF CASH,

AND I CAN PROVE IT.

RICK, PLEASE. I'M A SICK MAN.

I'VE DUG MY OWN
GRAVE FOR A LONG TIME.

WHATEVER'S BAD ABOUT
MARCO IS MY FAULT.

LET ME DO IT.

I'M RESPONSIBLE
FOR WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU'RE RIGHT,
VINNIE. YOU ARE SICK.

YOU'RE ALSO VERY
STUPID. YOU HAVE NO IDEA

WHAT A GOD-FORSAKEN
PIG YOUR SON IS, DO YOU?

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT
TO SAY THAT, RICK.

LOOK, VINNIE, LET ME
JUST TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOUR SON'S HAVING ME
FOLLOWED RIGHT NOW.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?
HE KNOWS WE'RE TALKING,

AND YOU KNOW WHAT
HE'S PROBABLY THINKING?

MY OLD MAN'S SNITCHING ON ME.

YOU DON'T KNOW MY SON.

I KNOW HIM BETTER THAN YOU!

WHEN YOU TALK TO HIM,
YOU BETTER TALK FAST,

BECAUSE HE'S GONNA HAVE A
GUN POINTED AT YOUR TINY HEAD.

WAKE UP, VINNIE!

THANKS, GUYS.

HI.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I COULDN'T SLEEP. THOUGHT
I'D COME TO THE PARK,

GET SOME FRESH AIR.

IT'S HELL BREAKING IN A
NEW PARTNER, YOU KNOW.

IF I KNEW WHERE SHE LIVES,
I'D GO TALK TO HER MYSELF.

NOW, HER NAME IS TRACEY.

SHE'S LOOKING FOR McCALL.

SHE HANGS ON THE
BOULEVARD NEAR LA BREA.

NOW, YOU FIND HER
NOW. YOU GOT THAT?

YOU JUST HAD A SECRET
MEETING WITH HUNTER.

GO AHEAD, LIE ABOUT IT.

AND I'LL BLOW YOUR
HEAD OFF RIGHT HERE, POP.

MARCO, PUT THAT GUN DOWN!

YOU JUST MET WITH
HUNTER IN THE PARK. WHY?

I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT YOU TOLD HIM.

OH, MARCO, YOU KNOW
WHAT THE DOCTORS TOLD YOU.

I HAVEN'T GOT TOO MUCH TIME.

YOU THINK I CARE
WHAT HAPPENS TO ME?

HEY, I DON'T WANNA HEAR THAT!

I WANNA KNOW WHAT
YOU TOLD HUNTER.

I TOLD HIM I TOOK OUT THE
CONTRACT ON HIS FATHER.

I WAS WILLING TO GIVE MYSELF UP.

EH, COME ON! WHAT
DID HE GET OUT OF YOU?

NOTHING! NOTHING, MARCO!

NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

NOW, DON'T YOU
EVER TALK TO ANYBODY

WITHOUT TALKING TO ME FIRST!

YOU GOT THAT?

YEAH, I GOT IT.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS.

HEY, TRACEY!

HEY, BABY!

GET IN THE CAR!

WHAT DO YOU WANT, MAN?

THANK GOD, HUNTER.

YOU JUST SAVED MY OTHER ARCH.

WHAT'D YOU COME UP WITH?

WELL, I GOT A CALL FROM
A GIRL NAMED TRACEY.

SHE SAID SHE MIGHT
HAVE SOMETHING,

BUT I DIDN'T HEAR BACK FROM HER.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

A LOT OF PROMISES IS ALL.

WE'LL GIVE IT MORE TIME.

FINE WITH ME,

JUST AS LONG AS I
SPEND IT ALL SITTING.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

Radio: L56. L56, COME IN.

THIS IS L56.

McCALL, I HAVE AN
URGENT MESSAGE FOR YOU

FROM A TRACEY DANIELS.

YEAH, GO AHEAD.

SEE ANNETTE AT THE
BAR ON THE CORNER

OF WESTON AND DUNES,
WEST HOLLYWOOD.

SHE'LL POINT YOU TO
THE LADY. SHALL I REPEAT?

NO, WE'VE GOT IT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, THROW IT DOWN.

SHE'S ALIVE. CALL AN AMBULANCE!

RICK...

TAKE IT EASY, ALICIA.
YOU'RE GONNA BE JUST FINE.

UHH. UHH.

PIE IN THE SKY.

NO, THE DOCTOR SAID
YOU'RE DOING JUST FINE.

YOU MAY HAVE A LITTLE SCAR,

BUT IT WON'T SHOW
UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO.

DOES THAT MEAN WE'LL GET
A CHANCE TO HAVE OUR TALK?

YEAH, I PROMISE.

I WANT TO MAKE THAT
STATEMENT YOU TALKED ABOUT.

JUST AS SOON AS YOU'RE
STRONG, YOU CAN DO THAT.

NOW, RICK.

GET SOMEONE TO TAKE IT DOWN NOW.

OK.

YEAH, THIS IS SERGEANT HUNTER.

PUT ME THROUGH TO
SERGEANT McCALL, PLEASE.

DEE DEE, LISTEN,

I'M STILL WITH ALICIA
DOWN AT THE HOSPITAL.

NOW, LISTEN, BRING
A STENOGRAPHER

AND A WARRANT FOR THE
ARREST OF MARCO BROKOW

TO THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY.

OK. I'LL WAIT HERE FOR YOU.

OK.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THERE'S A
WARRANT OUT FOR MY ARREST?

WELL, HOW THE
HELL DID THEY GET IT?

NO, YOU LOOK.

I DON'T CARE IF THERE'S COPS
ON THE DOOR 24 HOURS A DAY.

YOU GET SOMEBODY IN
THERE AND YOU PUT THIS RIGHT.

MARCO, YOU'RE CRAZY
IF YOU USE THAT GUN.

IF YOU GET ARRESTED,
IT DON'T MEAN NOTHING!

WE CAN AFFORD THE BEST
LAWYERS IN THE COUNTRY!

YOU SHUT UP!

YOU'RE CRAZY, MARCO!

CRAZY!

GO AROUND THE OTHER WAY.

THROW IT DOWN, MARCO.

I GOT A WARRANT FOR YOUR ARREST.

COME ON, GET OUT OF THE WAY!

MARCO!
