Hunter (1984–1991): Season 2, Episode 5 - Killer in a Halloween Mask - full transcript
Hunter and McCall become involved in a string of bizarre murders when they're assigned as technical advisors for a television show.
MY TOOTH IS KILLING ME!,
YOU'RE GONNA BE
TECHNICAL ADVISORS
ON STREET HEAT. THAT'S
A TELEVISION SHOW.
HOLD IT!
CUT. PRINT IT.
THIS WILL BE MY FIRST
HOLLYWOOD WRAP PARTY.
HE'S RUNNING AROUND THIS TOWN
DISFIGURING PEOPLE WITH ACID.
SECURE ALL THE GATES.
I WANT YOU BOTH TO DO
SOMETHING SAFE AND QUIET.
CAPTAIN SAID YOU WERE
INTERESTED IN REALITY.
I WOULDN'T LOSE
MY HEAD OVER THIS.
IT WORKS FOR ME.
WHAT ABOUT MY TOOTH, HUNTER?
HUNTER, IT'S KILLING ME!
THIS TOOTH IS DRIVING ME NUTS!
YEAH, WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE
THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, JESSE,
BEFORE YOU KNOCKED
OUT THE DENTIST.
MAN, THE DUDE WAS
COMING AT ME WITH A NEEDLE.
YOU KNOW HOW I
FEEL ABOUT NEEDLES.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW,
NORMALLY I'M A
VERY MEEK INDIVIDUAL.
RIGHT. YOU COLLECT CHINA
AND YOU PAINT LITTLE
BUNNIES ON EGGSHELLS.
I HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS?
BOOK THIS GUY ON
ASSAULT AND BATTERY,
RESISTING ARREST,
AND AS SOON AS THE VICTIM IS
RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL,
HE WILL BE DOWN HERE
TO PRESS CHARGES.
HEY, WHAT ABOUT
MY TOOTH, HUNTER?
I'M GONNA GO BERSERK.
YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING.
HOLD THAT.
I'M GONNA TEAR THIS PLACE APART.
EXCUSE ME. COME HERE.
NOW, YOUR TOOTH
REALLY BOTHERS YOU, HUH?
MAN, I'M DYING.
MY HEAD'S ON FIRE.
NOW, I CAN TAKE CARE
OF THIS FOR YOU, JESSE,
FREE OF CHARGE, BUT IT'S
GONNA CAUSE YOU SOME PAIN.
MAN, YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING.
NOW, YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?
'CAUSE I NORMALLY DON'T DO THIS.
HUNTER, I'M GONNA
EXPLODE. YOU GOTTA HELP ME.
WELL... IS THAT BETTER?
YEAH.
ATTABOY. BOOK HIM!
HOPE THEY COVER
THAT IN HIS DENTAL PLAN.
YEAH.
DID YOU OR DIDN'T YOU TELL
ME WHEN I TOOK OVER THIS JOB
THAT YOU WOULD SHAPE UP AND
START FOLLOWING REGULATIONS?
WELL, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY,
IT WAS YOU THAT WAS TELLING ME.
AND YOU AGREED, RIGHT?
Hunter: YES.
NOW, WE EVEN SHOOK HANDS ON IT.
SO NOW I GET 10 DOZEN HOT CALLS
FROM THE FIRE CHIEF TO
THE CONTROLLER'S OFFICE,
TO OUR OWN CHIEF HIMSELF,
ABOUT A HIGH-SPEED PURSUIT
INVOLVING ONE SERGEANT HUNTER
THAT'S GONNA COST
THIS CITY A FORTUNE.
NOW, YOU DO KNOW THE
RULES ON HOT PURSUIT, RIGHT?
YES.
YOU AVOID THEM IN DOWNTOWN AREAS
WHERE PEOPLE CAN
GET HURT, RIGHT?
YES.
YOU CALL FOR ASSISTANCE,
YOU CALL FOR AIR SURVEILLANCE,
AND YOU DON'T TRY
TO OUTRUN SOMEONE
ON WILSHIRE BOULEVARD.
AND HE KNEW THAT, TOO.
I ALMOST HAD THIS GUY
WHEN HE WENT SOUTH ON WILSHIRE.
BY THAT TIME, YOU SHOULD'VE
CALLED IN THE CHOPPERS
AND DROPPED OUT, HUNTER.
HEY, WHAT RULES ARE
WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?
DEL RIO IS WANTED
ON A TRIPLE HOMICIDE.
I MEAN, IF THERE ARE NO RULES
ABOUT LETTING A TRIPLE
MURDERER GET AWAY,
THERE SURE AS HELL OUGHTA BE.
WHAT HOMICIDE, TRIPLE MURDERER?
HE'S WANTED FOR ARMED ROBBERY.
CAPTAIN, THE CALL
CAME IN ON OUR RADIO.
DEL RIO SHOT HIS GIRLFRIEND
AND 2 OF HER BROTHERS
IN BOYLE HEIGHTS.
AND WE GOT HIM, AND
NOBODY GOT HURT.
HOW ABOUT 70 FEET OF
DISPLAY WINDOW AT BULLOCK'S?
HOW ABOUT 4 FIRE
HYDRANTS THAT TURNED
THE AMBASSADOR HOTEL'S
FRONT LAWN INTO A LAKE?
NOW, WE'VE ALREADY
LOGGED OVER 80 COMPLAINTS.
WE'LL PROBABLY GET HIT
WITH HALF A DOZEN LAWSUITS
BY THE TIME THIS IS
OVER, AND... WHAT?
PERSONNEL FOLDERS
YOU REQUESTED, SIR.
I THINK WE'LL FIND
OUR MAN IN HERE
FOR THE CHIEF'S
RECRUITMENT POSTER.
BERNIE, I THOUGHT
THEY TRANSFERRED YOU
TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS.
YES, THEY DID, HUNTER.
JUST HELPING OUT
THE CAPTAIN HERE
ON A SPECIAL PROJECT.
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT
YOUR LITTLE JOYRIDE TODAY.
HA HA HA. PEDAL TO THE METAL.
ALL RIGHT. I THINK YOU
BOTH GOT THE MESSAGE.
WELL, ENOUGH SAID.
REPORT TO THIS ADDRESS.
SATICOY AND VINELAND?
YOU'RE GOING TO BE TECHNICAL
ADVISORS ON STREET HEAT.
THAT'S A TELEVISION SHOW.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
ISN'T THERE SOME SORT
OF A RULE IN THE BOOK
AGAINST, UH, THE MISUSE
OF POLICE PERSONNEL?
OR ARE WE JUST BEING PUNISHED
FOR TAKING A HOMICIDAL
MANIAC OFF THE STREETS?
LOOK, I WANT YOU BOTH TO
DO SOMETHING SAFE AND QUIET
UNTIL THE FALLOUT FROM
THIS HIGH-SPEED CHASE
IS GONE AND FORGOTTEN.
NOW, THE PRODUCER
OF STREET HEAT IS A
PERSONAL FRIEND OF MINE,
BAY FETNER, AND I
PROMISED TO SEND HIM
2 REAL LIVE DETECTIVES.
SEND HIM BERNIE.
HE'S EXPECTING THE TWO OF YOU.
HE FEELS THE SHOW'S
GOTTEN AWAY FROM REALITY.
I'D LIKE YOU TO POINT
OUT TO HIM WHERE.
CAPTAIN, THESE ARE THE
CANDIDATES I PICKED OUT.
IF YOU DON'T MIND,
LIEUTENANT MARTEL
SUGGESTED I SUBMIT
THIS ONE AS WELL.
OH, BERNIE, IF I WAS YOU,
I'D GO WITH ONE WITH MORE
AUTHORITY IN THE JAWLINE.
DON'T ASK ME WHY, BUT
THIS IS YOUR NEW CAR.
CAPTAIN'S ORDERS.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING, McCALL?
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
THE CAPTAIN IS
TRYING TO PUNISH US.
YOU CALL THIS PUNISHMENT?
I CALL THIS GREAT!
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE
FACT THAT YOU AND I
WERE GONNA GO BABYSITTING
ON BAY FETNER'S
TELEVISION COMPANY,
WHICH CAR IN THIS COMPOUND
DO YOU THINK WE'D
BE ISSUED, HUH?
TAKE A LOOK
AROUND. PICK ONE OUT.
WELL, I...
THAT ONE OVER
THERE IS A SURE BET.
LIKE THAT ONE? SOLD.
WE'LL TAKE IT, VERN.
ARE YOU NUTS?
COME ON, MAN. THE CAPTAIN SAYS
GIVE THEM THE
BEST CAR ON THE LOT.
THIS IS IT. NOW,
TAKE IT, PLEASE.
HUNTER, YOU'RE CRAZY.
HOW CAN YOU PASS UP THIS
BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MACHINERY
FOR THAT PIECE OF JUNK?
WHAT DID THE CAPTAIN SAY
THAT BAY FETNER WANTED
ON HIS TELEVISION SHOW?
REALITY, RIGHT?
THAT'S REALITY.
SO, DO YOU WATCH IT?
WATCH WHAT?
STREET HEAT.
OH, WELL, I'VE SEEN
BITS AND PIECES OF IT,
TURNING THE DIAL, YOU KNOW.
BITS AND PIECES, HUH?
WELL, I MEAN, I DON'T
WATCH IT EVERY WEEK.
I'VE PROBABLY SEEN
IT ONCE OR TWICE
OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT. IT'S NOT EXACTLY
THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY
TUESDAY NIGHT, YOU KNOW.
COME ON, McCALL, ADMIT IT.
THIS GUY HENDRICKS,
WHO PLAYS STREET,
SENDS OUT VIBES ON YOUR
WAVELENGTH, DOESN'T HE?
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,
WOMEN CAN'T GET ENOUGH
OF THIS GUY. WHO KNOWS?
THIS COULD BE YOUR BIG
OPPORTUNITY HERE TODAY.
IF YOU'RE TRYING TO
SAY, COULD I SING A DUET
WITH SOMEBODY
LIKE J.J. HENDRICKS?
IN A MINUTE.
BOO!
AAH! AAH!
HOLD IT!
THIS IS STREET.
TELL THEM TO SEND A MEAT
WAGON TO 5th AND ALVARADO.
TELL CAPTAIN GRAYSON
FRANKIE T. GOT HIS
TICKET PUNCHED...
PERMANENTLY.
Director: AND CUT.
PRINT IT.
THERE YOU GO.
AHH.
GOOD JOB.
YOU KNOW, IF THIS J.J. HENDRICKS
KEEPS FLASHING YOU
THOSE PEARLY WHITES,
YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO BUY
AN AWFUL LARGE
PAIR OF SUNGLASSES.
HUNTER, CAN I HELP IT
IF THE GUY LIKES WHAT HE SEES?
COME ON, LOOK AT THE
WAY THEY DRESS THE GUY.
CHARLIE, WHAT'S THIS
OLD HEAP DOING HERE?
OR IS THIS THE ONE
WE'RE GONNA WRECK
DURING THE CHASE?
NO, NO. THIS IS MY CAR.
YOUR CAR?
YOU MUST BE KIDDING?
CAPTAIN SAID YOU WERE
INTERESTED IN REALITY.
OH, COME ON. YOU'RE
PUTTING ME ON.
SPEAKING OF REALITY,
YOU KNOW, AS A PRODUCER
OF THIS TELEVISION SHOW,
I'D BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT
HOW YOU DRESS YOUR STAR.
I MEAN, A REAL COP, A
REAL POLICE OFFICER,
WOULD NEVER HAVE HIS CUFFS
HANGING THAT
CLOSE TO HIS WEAPON.
YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
I HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU, HUNTER.
CAPTAIN WYLER TELLS ME SOME
INTERESTING STORIES ABOUT YOU.
I'D LIKE TO HEAR 'EM.
FOLLOW ME, COME HERE.
HEY, I SEE YOU MET A
COUPLE OF METRO'S FINEST.
STU, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET
SERGEANTS McCALL AND HUNTER.
HOW DO YOU DO? HI.
STU'S HEAD OF PUBLICITY,
SO BE NICE TO HIM.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT,
LIKE, MAYBE DINNER TONIGHT?
WELL, I WOULD LOVE TO,
BUT I'VE ALREADY MADE
OTHER PLANS FOR TONIGHT.
HOW ABOUT THE WRAP PARTY?
I MEAN, YOU GOTTA AT LEAST
STOP BY THE WRAP PARTY.
I'D LOVE FOR YOU TO BE THERE.
HEY, J.J., THE REPORTER
FROM THE TIMES
IS STILL WAITING.
ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN'T KEEP
THE PRESS WAITING, CAN YOU?
I'LL CATCH YOU GUYS LATER.
BAY, GIVE THEM
ANYTHING THEY WANT.
BYE.
BYE.
CIAO.
TERRIFIC GUY.
A PRINCE.
YOU FOLKS NEED SOMETHING,
JUST HOLLER.
I NEED SOME COFFEE.
HUNTER, COME ON. IT'S SHOW BIZ.
GLAMOUR, EXCITEMENT...
J.J. HENDRICKS.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST RELAX?
JUST LIGHTEN UP, WILL YA?
A LOT OF INTERESTING
PEOPLE HERE ON THIS SET.
NOW, YOU NEVER KNOW
WHO YOU MIGHT MEET.
HI.
HELLO.
HEY, ARE YOU THE POLICE
OFFICERS THEY SENT OUT?
YEAH, WE CERTAINLY ARE.
THIS IS SERGEANT McCALL.
I'M SERGEANT HUNTER.
OH, WOW!
I BET IT'S EXCITING BEING
INVOLVED IN POLICE WORK.
AH, YES, IT IS.
ALTHOUGH WE DON'T GET SHOT AT
AS MUCH AS YOU AND STREET DO.
IN OUR CASE, THE
BULLETS ARE REAL.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT BOTHERS ME.
I WANTED TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT THAT,
HOW IT FEELS WHEN
THE BULLETS ARE REAL.
Hendricks: I FEEL THE
SAME WAY ABOUT YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU SWING BY?
YOU KNOW I HATE UNWINDING ALONE.
YEAH, ME, TOO, BABY.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
AW, HONEY...
HEY!
HELLO?
HELLO?
AAH! AAH!
YOU JUST COULDN'T HELP
PLAY THE HERO, COULD YOU?
WHO FOUND THE BODY?
GIRLFRIEND, CINDY LARWIN.
SHE'S PRETTY SHAKEN
UP, BUT WHO WOULDN'T BE?
THIS ONE'S LIABLE TO
GIVE ME NIGHTMARES.
WHAT DID THE CORONER HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT THE PROBABLE
CAUSE OF DEATH?
FRACTURED SKULL.
LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS
THE MURDER WEAPON.
GIVE ME A PLASTIC
SACK, WOULD YOU, RAY?
THANKS.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE THE
LAB LOOK AT THIS RING.
SEE IF THEY CAN
COME UP WITH ANY TYPE
OF SKIN FRAGMENTS
ON IT, WOULD YOU?
WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM
WITH THIS, HUNTER?
PROBABLY THE SAME
PROBLEM YOU'VE GOT WITH IT.
YEAH, WELL, MINE IS WHY
SOMETHING LIKE ACID?
W-WHY WOULD
SOMEBODY COME IN HERE
AND BURN OFF HENDRICKS' FACE
AND THEN KILL HIM?
THAT DOESN'T TRACK.
EXCUSE ME, WHERE'S THE WITNESS?
HE WAS JUST LYING
THERE. FIRST I THOUGHT
HE WAS STRETCHED OUT
IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE.
THEN I SAW HIS FACE.
TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT.
JUST TRY TO PUT IT
OUT OF YOUR MIND.
WE WERE GOING TO BE MARRIED.
NOBODY KNEW THAT, BUT IT'S TRUE.
EVERYBODY THOUGHT
J.J. WAS THIS "MR. MACHO"
'CAUSE OF THE SHOW.
HE WASN'T. HE WAS
JUST THIS WONDERFUL
GUY WHO LOVED ME.
I'M PREGNANT.
WHEN I TOLD J.J.,
HE WAS SO EXCITED.
HE SAID ALL HE WANTED TO DO
WAS BE WITH ME AND HAVE BABIES.
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY.
BUT IT'S ALL HE
COULD TALK ABOUT.
THIS WAS GOING TO BE HIS
LAST SEASON ON THE SHOW.
HE WAS GONNA DO MOVIES.
HE WOULDN'T HAVE
TO WORK SO HARD.
WE COULD BE TOGETHER MORE.
HE LOVED ME. HE REALLY DID.
BAY FETNER'S BEEN CALLING ME.
I'VE BEEN AVOIDING HIS CALLS,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO HIM.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING
AT ALL THAT I CAN TELL HIM?
YEAH, I HAVE.
FETNER CALLED
HENDRICKS A REAL PRINCE.
WELL, I CHECKED HIM OUT.
THE GUY WASN'T A PRINCE,
HE WAS A CREEP. HE HIT ON ME,
HE HIT ON EVERY GIRL AROUND.
HE GOT SOME POOR GIRL
NAMED CINDY LARWIN PREGNANT
AND INTO THINKING
THAT SHE WAS THE
ONLY WOMAN IN HIS LIFE.
NOW, WHO KNOWS HOW
MANY MORE THERE WERE?
AND I THINK WITH
A GUY LIKE THAT,
YOU GOT A LOT OF MOTIVE.
I WANT A LIST OF ALL THE WOMEN
THAT HENDRICKS
WAS INVOLVED WITH.
YOU GOT IT. I'M WORKING ON IT.
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S
OFFICE REPORTS
THAT HENDRICKS WAS
SPRAYED WITH ACID, THEN KILLED.
NOW, MY QUESTION TO YOU IS,
"WHY WOULD YOU KILL SOMEBODY
WHEN YOU ONLY CAME
THERE TO DISFIGURE HIM?"
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
GOT A GOOD ANSWER?
WELL, WE FOUND
FRAGMENTS OF LATEX RUBBER
AND RED DYE ON HENDRICKS' RING.
NOW, PERHAPS THIS FELLOW
HE WAS FIGHTING WITH
WAS WEARING SOME SORT
OF A HALLOWEEN MASK,
AND IN THE STRUGGLE
HE REVEALED HIMSELF,
AND THE GUY HAD NO
OTHER ALTERNATIVE
BUT TO KILL HIM.
OK. WE'RE MOVING.
BUT I GOT A QUESTION.
HOW DO YOU DO IT?
DO WHAT?
I SEND YOU AWAY FROM HERE
TO GET YOU OUT OF
MY HAIR FOR A WHILE,
AND A HOMICIDE CASE, A
MEDIA EVENT CASE, NO LESS,
FALLS RIGHT INTO YOUR LAPS.
HOW DO YOU MANAGE THAT?
EXTREMELY LUCKY, I GUESS.
REMEMBER THAT WRAP
PARTY I WAS INVITED TO?
YES, I DO, BUT I DON'T
BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING
TO HAVE TOO MUCH TO
CELEBRATE NOW, DO YOU?
McCall: YOU DON'T KNOW
HOLLYWOOD, HUNTER.
AAAH!
IS THIS MY IMAGINATION
OR DID WE JUST STEP DOWN
INTO A MALE BEAUTY CONTEST?
HA HA HA HA HA.
IT'S CALLED LOOKING FOR
THE NEW GUY, HUNTER.
THE ROLE DOESN'T EXACTLY
CALL FOR A FEMALE LEAD.
AH.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
WELL, SO GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT.
YEAH. NICE TURNOUT.
I KNOW HOW THIS MUST LOOK,
I MEAN, IT'S ONLY BEEN 2 DAYS
AFTER IT ALL HAPPENED, RIGHT?
YOU DIDN'T KNOW J.J.
HE WOULDN'T WANT HIS
FRIENDS BEING DEPRESSED.
HE'D WANT THEM OUT HAVING FUN,
LIKE THIS, SHARING THE
JOY OF KNOWING HIM.
A GUY LIKE J.J.
MUST HAVE HAD A
LOT OF GOOD FRIENDS.
OH, HE WAS ONE OF
THE BEST-LIKED GUYS
IN OUR BUSINESS.
HE WAS A REAL SWEETHEART.
THE MAN WAS A CARING INDIVIDUAL,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
PEOPLE'S FEELINGS
MEANT A LOT TO HIM.
YEAH, I GUESS HE
WAS A REAL SAINT.
Man: BAY, HEY, BAY, HOW ARE YOU?
ALAN, BABY, SO GLAD
YOU COULD MAKE IT.
ENJOY YOURSELVES.
Bay: ALAN.
I JUST HAD TO GET OUT OF THERE.
OH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
NOW, CINDY, IF I CAN HELP
YOU WITH ANYTHING, PLEASE...
YOU'VE ALREADY DONE
ENOUGH ALREADY, PEG.
YOU WERE THERE
WHEN I NEEDED A FRIEND.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
IT. EVERY TIME
I GET INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE,
SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS.
WHAT YOU NEED IS SOME WORK,
SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU BUSY
AND HELP YOU THROUGH ALL THIS.
NOW, IT'LL BE A COUPLE OF MONTHS
BEFORE YOU SHOW, SO...
I DON'T STILL
THINK I'M UP TO IT.
MAYBE AFTER THE BABY'S BORN.
AAAH! AAAAH!
AAAAH!
LOOK, MY ARM.
THEY GOT AN APB OUT ON THE CAR.
PROBABLY WIND UP BEING STOLEN
FROM SOME PARKING LOT.
YOU TWO GOT HERE FAST.
WELL, WE WERE ALREADY HERE.
WE WERE INVITED,
GUESTS OF YOUR
FRIEND, MR. FETNER.
YOU WERE HERE AND
THE GUY GOT AWAY?
YEAH, WE WERE HERE
AND HE GOT AWAY.
COULDN'T HOLD ON TO HIM, HUH?
NO.
UH, SERGEANT
HUNTER SAVED MY LIFE.
IF IT WASN'T FOR HIS ACTIONS
AND SERGEANT
McCALL'S QUICK THINKING,
I'D PROBABLY BE ON MY WAY
TO A BURN UNIT RIGHT NOW.
McCall: THIS IS PEGGY SULLIVAN.
SHE'S THE CASTING DIRECTOR
ON THE STREET HEAT SERIES.
DID YOU GET ANY KIND OF A LOOK
AT ALL AT THIS GUY?
YES, I DID.
I'VE BEEN AFRAID TO SAY THIS
'CAUSE I REALLY DIDN'T
SEE HIM THAT WELL,
BUT FOR A SPLIT SECOND I
THOUGHT OF DAVID TALON.
OH, WITH A SKI MASK ON?
I'M A CASTING DIRECTOR. I
STUDY ACTORS' PHYSIQUES.
YOU KNOW, THE WAY
THEY WALK, TALK.
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT
HIS SILHOUETTE, HIS POSTURE.
I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS DAVID.
IT COULDN'T BE, BUT...
DAVID TALON. I'VE HEARD OF HIM.
HE WAS THE ORIGINAL
LEAD ON STREET HEAT.
THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT,
AND J.J. REPLACED
HIM ON THE SHOW.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WELL, HE WAS INTO DRUGS
LONG BEFORE HE GOT THE JOB.
WITH SUCCESS, IT GOT WORSE.
IT GOT TO THE POINT
WHERE HE WAS FREE-BASING
ONE DAY IN HIS DRESSING ROOM
AND IT BLEW UP IN HIS FACE.
AND HE DECIDED TO BLAME
ALL OF US FOR WHAT HAPPENED.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
BLAME ALL OF YOU
FOR WHAT HAPPENED?
DAVID TALON WAS NOT ONE OF
YOUR NICER PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD.
HE WAS NEUROTIC. HE WAS
UNDER ANALYSIS FOR YEARS.
AND HE WAS CONVINCED
THAT ONE OF US
OR ALL OF US ON THE SHOW
TAMPERED WITH HIS
EQUIPMENT TO GET RID OF HIM.
WELL, I SEE YOU DECIDED
TO LIVE IN THAT SHIRT.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT HER.
SHE LOVES THE MEN'S
ROOM, DON'T YOU?
CALLED YOU LAST NIGHT
AND NOBODY ANSWERED.
WHERE WERE YOU?
I WAS OUT JOGGING.
OH, IS THAT WHAT
THEY CALL THAT NOW?
YOU'RE A LAUGH RIOT, ALICE.
OUR SQUIRT GUN KILLER.
I GOT IT FROM PEG
SULLIVAN LAST NIGHT.
I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
DAVID TALON WAS ONE OF
THE FEW PATIENTS I'VE TREATED
WHO HAD ABSOLUTELY
NO REDEEMING QUALITIES.
HE HAD SUCH AN EGO
MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY
DIDN'T COVER IT UNTIL
AFTER HIS ACCIDENT.
THEN HE DEVELOPED SOME
CLASSIC PARANOID CHARACTERISTICS.
PARANOID ENOUGH TO KILL PEOPLE?
IT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY.
LOOK, DOC, WE'RE AWARE
OF THE MEDICAL ETHICS HERE,
BUT MAYBE YOU CAN HELP US OUT.
YOU MUST HAVE COPIES OF
YOUR DISCUSSIONS WITH HIM...
NOTES, TAPES, SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN GET A LOOK AT.
YOU MUST BE KIDDING.
DAVID TALON IS MY PATIENT.
THE TAPES ARE CONFIDENTIAL.
I WON'T LET YOU SEE A THING.
YOUR PATIENT'S A MURDERER.
HE'S RUNNING AROUND THIS TOWN
DISFIGURING PEOPLE WITH ACID.
THE ANSWER, SERGEANT, IS NO.
YOU CAN TRY FOR A SEARCH WARRANT
IF YOU LIKE, BUT
YOU WON'T GET ONE,
NOT FROM ANY COURT
I'VE EVER HEARD OF.
WHAT A CHARMER.
HE'S RIGHT, YOU KNOW.
THERE'S NO WAY WE'RE
GOING TO GET A JUDGE
TO GIVE US A COURT ORDER
TO GET AT THOSE RECORDS.
WELL, IT DOESN'T MEAN
WE CAN'T GET THEM
WITH A LITTLE BIT OF
IMAGINATION NOW, DOES IT?
HUNTER, ARE YOU SURE
YOU WANT TO GO AROUND
ONE MORE TIME WITH THE CAPTAIN?
WELL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO,
SIT AROUND AND WAIT
FOR THIS TALON GUY
TO GIVE PEGGY
SULLIVAN AN ACID BATH?
♪ ...PLAYING ♪
WHO ARE YOU?
WHERE'S LAURA?
WAIT A MINUTE. YOU
CAN'T GO IN THERE.
WHERE'S LAURA?
I'M SORRY, DOLL, WHAT'D YOU SAY?
I CAN'T HEAR NOTHING
WITH THESE THINGS ON.
WHERE'S LAURA?
OH... OH, LAURA.
LAURA HAD TO GO TO THE AIRPORT
TO PICK UP HER MOTHER.
YOU SEE, HER MOTHER'S
COMING IN FROM FRESNO.
AND BELIEVE ME,
THIS IS A REAL DRAG,
AND YOU WOULD KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
IF YOU EVER MET HER MOTHER.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS NOW.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS NOW!
HUH?
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO SHOW UP UNTIL 6:00.
DR. BRESLEY HAS A
4:00 APPOINTMENT.
4:00. WELL, UH, MY WATCH SAYS
IT'S 3:00 HERE. 3... SEE, 3:00.
I CAN BE IN AND OUT OF
HERE IN HALF AN HOUR,
NO PROBLEM, BUT, SEE, LIKE,
IF I DON'T GET TO CLEAN
THIS OFFICE TODAY,
THEN I HAVE TO COME
BACK FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
AND THEN THE DOCTOR'S
GONNA COME IN HERE,
HE'S GONNA START POPPING
THEM BAD BREATH MINTS
HE'S ALWAYS TAKING. POPS THEM IN
AND GETS A LITTLE TINFOIL
STUCK BACK IN HIS TEETH,
AND HE THROWS IT
ALL OVER THE CARPET,
AND I PERSONALLY HAPPEN TO THINK
THIS LOOKS VERY DISGUSTING,
BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT ME
TO VACUUM, HEY, NO PROBLEM.
OK, BUT YOU GOT TO BE
OUT OF HERE IN 15 MINUTES.
15 MINUTES, FINE.
HALF AN HOUR, 15...
OK, I'LL DO THIS.
OK. 15 MINUTES.
WHAT DID YOU SAY? WAIT,
WAIT, HOLD ON A SECOND.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
Talon, on tape: THEY
WERE JEALOUS.
THEY ALL KNEW I WAS WHAT
HELD THE SHOW TOGETHER.
I WAS THE STAR, MAN,
AND THEY KNEW IT.
HOW MUCH LONGER
ARE YOU GONNA BE?
HUH?
YOU SAID THIS WOULD
ONLY TAKE 15 MINUTES.
SECONDS. I WILL BE
GONE IN MERE SECONDS.
Talon: THEY ALL
CONSPIRED TO GET ME.
EVERY ONE OF THEM
HAD HIS OWN REASON
FOR WANTING ME OFF THAT SHOW.
THEY RIGGED THAT
ETHER TO EXPLODE.
J.J., THAT CREEP FETNER,
AND THE SLUT. THEY COULDN'T
WAIT TO GET RID OF ME.
Bresley: WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH ALL THIS BEFORE.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, JUST
AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
NOW, NO ONE TAMPERED WITH
YOUR FREE-BASING EQUIPMENT.
CAN'T YOU GET THAT STRAIGHT?
THIS IS L-56.
I'VE GOT A POSSIBLE 187
AT BAY FETNER'S PLACE,
1133 ST. WAVERLY ROAD.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY THERE NOW.
REQUEST A BACKUP. AND
MAKE SURE YOU SEND A UNIT
OVER TO PEG
SULLIVAN'S PLACE. OUT.
Radio: IT JUST
CAME IN, SERGEANT,
THAT BAY FETNER WAS
FOUND 10 MINUTES AGO.
SOMEONE ATTACKED HIM WITH ACID.
SAME M.O. AS THE HENDRICKS CASE.
IS HE ALIVE?
ACCORDING TO THE
PARAMEDICS, HE'LL LIVE,
BUT HE'LL BE BADLY SCARRED.
WELL, YOU BETTER
TELL CAPTAIN WYLER.
FETNER'S A GOOD FRIEND OF HIS.
WHAT ABOUT THAT NUMBER WE
GOT FROM TALON'S PSYCHIATRIST?
DID YOU GET AN ADDRESS ON THAT?
THE STATMAN HOTEL,
OVER ON 3rd AND FOUNTAIN.
L-56 OUT.
THIS GUY REALLY OUGHT
TO HAVE HIS LOCKS CHANGED.
HUNTER.
YEAH?
PAYCHECK STUB FROM
THE SUNSET WAX MUSEUM.
NOTHING LIKE A WALK THROUGH
A MURDERERS' ROW, HUH?
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT THIS PLACE
GIVES ME THE CREEPS.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?
I DIDN'T HEAR ANYONE KNOCK.
IN CASE YOU DIDN'T
SEE IT, THERE'S A SIGN
OUT FRONT THAT SAYS
"EMPLOYEES ONLY."
WE ASSUME, MR. TALON,
YOU'VE BEEN
LISTENING TO THE NEWS.
WE ALSO ASSUME YOU'RE
AWARE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
YOU KNEW OR ONCE
WORKED WITH ARE NOW DEAD
OR IN THE HOSPITAL WITH
THEIR FACES BURNED OFF.
YEAH, I HEARD ABOUT
THAT ON THE RADIO.
THAT'S TOO BAD.
YEAH, IT WAS.
I GUESS YOU ALSO KNOW,
THEN, THAT J.J HENDRICKS
WAS FOUND MUTILATED AND MURDERED
AT HIS HOME ON THURSDAY NIGHT.
I GUESS YOU KNEW HIM
PRETTY WELL, DIDN'T YOU?
NO, NOT VERY WELL.
HE WAS JUST A GUY
WHO DID WALK-ONS
IN STREET HEAT, SO...
DON'T EXPECT ME TO
GRIEVE FOR THE GUY.
I'M GONNA ASK YOU WHERE
YOU WERE THURSDAY NIGHT.
THAT'S THE NIGHT
J.J. HENDRICKS GOT
HIS FACE BURNED OFF
AND HIS BRAINS BASHED
IN. BUT BEFORE I DO,
SERGEANT McCALL WANTS
TO GIVE YOU A MESSAGE.
"YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT."
WHOA... HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY,
I USED TO RECITE
THAT CRAP ON MY SHOW,
SO FORGET ABOUT IT.
THURSDAY NIGHT,
LET'S SEE. OH, YES,
I WAS TAKING IN A MOVIE.
I LIKE TO SIT IN THE DARK.
MAYBE YOU AND I CAN
HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE,
I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT.
PRETTY GOOD LIKENESS, HUH?
YEAH, EVER SINCE OLD J.J. DIED,
HE'S HOTTER THAN EVER.
WE'RE MAKING UP A NEW
BUNCH OF FIGURES OF HIM.
I JUST FOUND THIS OLD
HEAD LYING AROUND.
THOUGHT I'D GET RID OF IT.
I BET A GUY LIKE YOU HAS ACCESS
TO A LOT OF CHEMICALS
AND ACIDS, HUH?
HEY, IF YOU'VE GOT SOME
KIND OF CASE AGAINST ME,
ARREST ME, AND
I'LL CALL MY LAWYER
AND WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
IF NOT, WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE?
LOOK, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU
WAS A TERRIBLE, TRAGIC ACCIDENT.
BUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW
IS NOT GONNA HELP THINGS,
AND IT'S NOT GONNA MAKE
ANYTHING BETTER FOR YOURSELF.
YOU THINK I'M SICK?
YOU THINK THE EXPLOSION
IN THE DRESSING
ROOM WAS AN ACCIDENT?
WELL, YOU WEREN'T THERE, LADY,
AND I WAS, AND IT
WAS NO ACCIDENT.
NOW GET OUT OF HERE!
GET OUT!
McCall: WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WHY DON'T YOU GET OVER
TO PEGGY SULLIVAN'S HOUSE?
IF THIS GUY IS GONNA
MAKE HIS MOVE,
I WANT ONE OF US TO BE THERE.
I'M GONNA CHECK
OUT HIS WORKSHOP.
PEG WASN'T THE ONE THAT
TALON WAS REFERRING TO
ON BRESLEY'S TAPE. HE
WASN'T AFTER HER AT ALL.
LOOKS THAT WAY, DOESN'T IT?
KNOWING HIS OLD GIRLFRIEND
WAS INVOLVED WITH HENDRICKS,
THAT WOULD MAKE
TALON NUTS, WOULDN'T IT?
THIS IS L-56.
PATCH ME THROUGH TO
A LIEUTENANT DeMARCO
IN MISSING PERSONS, WOULD YOU?
DeMarco: WHAT CAN I
DO FOR YOU, HUNTER?
LOU, WE'VE BEEN TRYING
TO LOCATE A WOMAN
BY THE NAME OF CINDY LARWIN.
NOW, WE'VE TRIED HER
LAST KNOWN ADDRESS
AND HER PARENTS' HOUSE.
WE'VE COME UP WITH NOTHING.
NOW, YOU'RE THE EXPERT, WE
WANT YOU TO FIND HER FOR US.
I'VE GOT A NAME AND
A NUMBER FOR YOU:
PEGGY SULLIVAN, 555-3792.
NOW, SHE'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU
SOME INFORMATION
TO START OFF WITH.
DeMarco: OK, GOT IT.
BUT CAN I ASK YOU
THE SAME QUESTION
I ALWAYS ASK WITH
A MISSING PERSON...
DO YOU REALLY
THINK THEY'RE MISSING
OR DO YOU THINK THEY'RE DEAD?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
THE ANSWER TO THAT,
BUT WE'RE ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING
THAT MIGHT JUST ANSWER
THAT QUESTION FOR ALL OF US.
L-56 OUT.
AND YOU'RE SURE
TALON'S AFTER HER?
WE WOULDN'T BET AGAINST IT.
ALL YOU GOTTA DO
IS GET THE STUDIO
TO TAKE OUT AN AD IN
TOMORROW MORNING'S TRADES
THAT CINDY LARWIN IS
GOING TO BE A GUEST ACTRESS
ON ONE OF YOUR TELEVISION SHOWS.
IT'S NO PROBLEM,
BUT THERE'S NO WAY
ANYONE CAN GET ON THIS
LOT WHO ISN'T AUTHORIZED TO.
WE HAVE ARMED
GUARDS AT ALL 3 GATES
AND DAVID TALON KNOWS
THAT. HE WON'T SHOW UP.
SAM, THIS IS HARRY
OVER IN MAINTENANCE.
WE'VE GOT A BLOOMING
LEAK OVER ON STAGE 4.
A BLOODY PIPE'S BUSTED.
I CALLED WILCOX PLUMBING,
UM, SHOOT 'EM THROUGH
WHEN THEY GET THERE,
WILL YOU, GUY?
GOT A CALL ABOUT A BROKEN PIPE.
RIGHT. HOLD ON A SECOND.
SOUND STAGE 4. IT'S OVER
AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LOT.
GO DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL
YOU GET TO WARDROBE.
YOU CAN'T MISS IT.
GOT IT. THANKS. ALL RIGHT.
FREEZE!
DROP THE GUN RIGHT NOW.
DROP IT. DROP IT.
TURN AROUND, PUT YOUR
HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD.
DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE.
HUNTER, I GOT HIM. MOVE IN.
Radio: I'M ON MY WAY.
McCALL!
I'M OK!
SECURITY, THIS IS
SERGEANT McCALL.
WE HAVE A WOUNDED SUSPECT
TRYING TO LEAVE THE LOT.
SECURE ALL THE GATES.
Dispatcher: YOU'RE
PATCHED THROUGH
TO THAT NUMBER, SERGEANT.
DR. BRESLEY.
Dr. Bresley: YOU DON'T
GIVE UP, DO YOU, HUNTER?
YOUR PATIENT JUST
CAUGHT A BULLET
TRYING TO OFF ANOTHER VICTIM.
NOW, HE'S NOT AT HIS HOTEL ROOM
AND HE'S CERTAINLY NOT
GOING TO CHECK INTO A HOSPITAL
WITH THAT KIND OF
A BULLET WOUND.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY
TO THE WAX MUSEUM.
IF THIS GUY SHOWS
UP AT YOUR PLACE,
HOLD ON TO HIM.
HE WON'T SHOW UP HERE, HUNTER.
HE DOESN'T LIKE ME.
WONDER WHY?
AND IF HE DID,
I WOULDN'T VIOLATE
MEDICAL ETHICS
AND CALL YOU.
BUT I THINK YOU'RE HEADED
FOR THE RIGHT PLACE.
THAT WAX MUSEUM IS
PROBABLY THE ONLY PLACE
HE FEELS SAFE AT.
IT'S NOT REALITY.
HOLD IT, TALON!
AAH!
SIR...
HERE'S THE PICTURE OF
HENDERSON YOU WANTED.
OH, YEAH. PUT IT OVER
THERE WITH THE OTHERS.
WHO, UH...
WHO SUBMITTED THIS ONE, SIR?
FOWLER.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE, UH,
CONSIDERING HUNTER, SIR.
COME IN, HUNTER, McCALL.
WANT TO SEE US?
I JUST GOT WORD ON
THE CAR YOU'RE USING.
YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE ONE
I ORDERED FOR YOU. WHY?
WELL, I FIGURED IT
WAS A MEMO MIX-UP.
YOU KNOW, WITH THE
HIGH-SPEED CHASE AND ALL,
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
BE SAVING THAT CAR
FOR SOMEBODY LIKE, UH, BERNIE.
HUNTER, NEXT TIME SOMEBODY
TELLS YOU I GAVE AN ORDER,
TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT.
I GAVE IT, AND I MEANT IT.
RIGHT? RIGHT.
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
WHY IS MY PICTURE IN HERE?
IT WAS SENT IN AS A POSSIBILITY
FOR THE RECRUITMENT POSTER.
OH, LISTEN, DON'T DO THAT.
DON'T CONSIDER ME FOR THAT, OK?
I DON'T LIKE PUBLICITY.
WELL, I'M GLAD TO
HEAR THAT, HUNTER.
BUT DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
YOU'RE NOT UNDER CONSIDERATION.
NEITHER ARE YOU, TERWILLIGER.
NEITHER ARE THOSE GUYS.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
IF YOU WANT TO SEE
WHO I'M GONNA
USE IN THE POSTER...
TAKE A LOOK.
YOU'RE GONNA BE
TECHNICAL ADVISORS
ON STREET HEAT. THAT'S
A TELEVISION SHOW.
HOLD IT!
CUT. PRINT IT.
THIS WILL BE MY FIRST
HOLLYWOOD WRAP PARTY.
HE'S RUNNING AROUND THIS TOWN
DISFIGURING PEOPLE WITH ACID.
SECURE ALL THE GATES.
I WANT YOU BOTH TO DO
SOMETHING SAFE AND QUIET.
CAPTAIN SAID YOU WERE
INTERESTED IN REALITY.
I WOULDN'T LOSE
MY HEAD OVER THIS.
IT WORKS FOR ME.
WHAT ABOUT MY TOOTH, HUNTER?
HUNTER, IT'S KILLING ME!
THIS TOOTH IS DRIVING ME NUTS!
YEAH, WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE
THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, JESSE,
BEFORE YOU KNOCKED
OUT THE DENTIST.
MAN, THE DUDE WAS
COMING AT ME WITH A NEEDLE.
YOU KNOW HOW I
FEEL ABOUT NEEDLES.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW,
NORMALLY I'M A
VERY MEEK INDIVIDUAL.
RIGHT. YOU COLLECT CHINA
AND YOU PAINT LITTLE
BUNNIES ON EGGSHELLS.
I HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS?
BOOK THIS GUY ON
ASSAULT AND BATTERY,
RESISTING ARREST,
AND AS SOON AS THE VICTIM IS
RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL,
HE WILL BE DOWN HERE
TO PRESS CHARGES.
HEY, WHAT ABOUT
MY TOOTH, HUNTER?
I'M GONNA GO BERSERK.
YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING.
HOLD THAT.
I'M GONNA TEAR THIS PLACE APART.
EXCUSE ME. COME HERE.
NOW, YOUR TOOTH
REALLY BOTHERS YOU, HUH?
MAN, I'M DYING.
MY HEAD'S ON FIRE.
NOW, I CAN TAKE CARE
OF THIS FOR YOU, JESSE,
FREE OF CHARGE, BUT IT'S
GONNA CAUSE YOU SOME PAIN.
MAN, YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING.
NOW, YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?
'CAUSE I NORMALLY DON'T DO THIS.
HUNTER, I'M GONNA
EXPLODE. YOU GOTTA HELP ME.
WELL... IS THAT BETTER?
YEAH.
ATTABOY. BOOK HIM!
HOPE THEY COVER
THAT IN HIS DENTAL PLAN.
YEAH.
DID YOU OR DIDN'T YOU TELL
ME WHEN I TOOK OVER THIS JOB
THAT YOU WOULD SHAPE UP AND
START FOLLOWING REGULATIONS?
WELL, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY,
IT WAS YOU THAT WAS TELLING ME.
AND YOU AGREED, RIGHT?
Hunter: YES.
NOW, WE EVEN SHOOK HANDS ON IT.
SO NOW I GET 10 DOZEN HOT CALLS
FROM THE FIRE CHIEF TO
THE CONTROLLER'S OFFICE,
TO OUR OWN CHIEF HIMSELF,
ABOUT A HIGH-SPEED PURSUIT
INVOLVING ONE SERGEANT HUNTER
THAT'S GONNA COST
THIS CITY A FORTUNE.
NOW, YOU DO KNOW THE
RULES ON HOT PURSUIT, RIGHT?
YES.
YOU AVOID THEM IN DOWNTOWN AREAS
WHERE PEOPLE CAN
GET HURT, RIGHT?
YES.
YOU CALL FOR ASSISTANCE,
YOU CALL FOR AIR SURVEILLANCE,
AND YOU DON'T TRY
TO OUTRUN SOMEONE
ON WILSHIRE BOULEVARD.
AND HE KNEW THAT, TOO.
I ALMOST HAD THIS GUY
WHEN HE WENT SOUTH ON WILSHIRE.
BY THAT TIME, YOU SHOULD'VE
CALLED IN THE CHOPPERS
AND DROPPED OUT, HUNTER.
HEY, WHAT RULES ARE
WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?
DEL RIO IS WANTED
ON A TRIPLE HOMICIDE.
I MEAN, IF THERE ARE NO RULES
ABOUT LETTING A TRIPLE
MURDERER GET AWAY,
THERE SURE AS HELL OUGHTA BE.
WHAT HOMICIDE, TRIPLE MURDERER?
HE'S WANTED FOR ARMED ROBBERY.
CAPTAIN, THE CALL
CAME IN ON OUR RADIO.
DEL RIO SHOT HIS GIRLFRIEND
AND 2 OF HER BROTHERS
IN BOYLE HEIGHTS.
AND WE GOT HIM, AND
NOBODY GOT HURT.
HOW ABOUT 70 FEET OF
DISPLAY WINDOW AT BULLOCK'S?
HOW ABOUT 4 FIRE
HYDRANTS THAT TURNED
THE AMBASSADOR HOTEL'S
FRONT LAWN INTO A LAKE?
NOW, WE'VE ALREADY
LOGGED OVER 80 COMPLAINTS.
WE'LL PROBABLY GET HIT
WITH HALF A DOZEN LAWSUITS
BY THE TIME THIS IS
OVER, AND... WHAT?
PERSONNEL FOLDERS
YOU REQUESTED, SIR.
I THINK WE'LL FIND
OUR MAN IN HERE
FOR THE CHIEF'S
RECRUITMENT POSTER.
BERNIE, I THOUGHT
THEY TRANSFERRED YOU
TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS.
YES, THEY DID, HUNTER.
JUST HELPING OUT
THE CAPTAIN HERE
ON A SPECIAL PROJECT.
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT
YOUR LITTLE JOYRIDE TODAY.
HA HA HA. PEDAL TO THE METAL.
ALL RIGHT. I THINK YOU
BOTH GOT THE MESSAGE.
WELL, ENOUGH SAID.
REPORT TO THIS ADDRESS.
SATICOY AND VINELAND?
YOU'RE GOING TO BE TECHNICAL
ADVISORS ON STREET HEAT.
THAT'S A TELEVISION SHOW.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
ISN'T THERE SOME SORT
OF A RULE IN THE BOOK
AGAINST, UH, THE MISUSE
OF POLICE PERSONNEL?
OR ARE WE JUST BEING PUNISHED
FOR TAKING A HOMICIDAL
MANIAC OFF THE STREETS?
LOOK, I WANT YOU BOTH TO
DO SOMETHING SAFE AND QUIET
UNTIL THE FALLOUT FROM
THIS HIGH-SPEED CHASE
IS GONE AND FORGOTTEN.
NOW, THE PRODUCER
OF STREET HEAT IS A
PERSONAL FRIEND OF MINE,
BAY FETNER, AND I
PROMISED TO SEND HIM
2 REAL LIVE DETECTIVES.
SEND HIM BERNIE.
HE'S EXPECTING THE TWO OF YOU.
HE FEELS THE SHOW'S
GOTTEN AWAY FROM REALITY.
I'D LIKE YOU TO POINT
OUT TO HIM WHERE.
CAPTAIN, THESE ARE THE
CANDIDATES I PICKED OUT.
IF YOU DON'T MIND,
LIEUTENANT MARTEL
SUGGESTED I SUBMIT
THIS ONE AS WELL.
OH, BERNIE, IF I WAS YOU,
I'D GO WITH ONE WITH MORE
AUTHORITY IN THE JAWLINE.
DON'T ASK ME WHY, BUT
THIS IS YOUR NEW CAR.
CAPTAIN'S ORDERS.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING, McCALL?
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
THE CAPTAIN IS
TRYING TO PUNISH US.
YOU CALL THIS PUNISHMENT?
I CALL THIS GREAT!
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE
FACT THAT YOU AND I
WERE GONNA GO BABYSITTING
ON BAY FETNER'S
TELEVISION COMPANY,
WHICH CAR IN THIS COMPOUND
DO YOU THINK WE'D
BE ISSUED, HUH?
TAKE A LOOK
AROUND. PICK ONE OUT.
WELL, I...
THAT ONE OVER
THERE IS A SURE BET.
LIKE THAT ONE? SOLD.
WE'LL TAKE IT, VERN.
ARE YOU NUTS?
COME ON, MAN. THE CAPTAIN SAYS
GIVE THEM THE
BEST CAR ON THE LOT.
THIS IS IT. NOW,
TAKE IT, PLEASE.
HUNTER, YOU'RE CRAZY.
HOW CAN YOU PASS UP THIS
BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MACHINERY
FOR THAT PIECE OF JUNK?
WHAT DID THE CAPTAIN SAY
THAT BAY FETNER WANTED
ON HIS TELEVISION SHOW?
REALITY, RIGHT?
THAT'S REALITY.
SO, DO YOU WATCH IT?
WATCH WHAT?
STREET HEAT.
OH, WELL, I'VE SEEN
BITS AND PIECES OF IT,
TURNING THE DIAL, YOU KNOW.
BITS AND PIECES, HUH?
WELL, I MEAN, I DON'T
WATCH IT EVERY WEEK.
I'VE PROBABLY SEEN
IT ONCE OR TWICE
OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT. IT'S NOT EXACTLY
THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY
TUESDAY NIGHT, YOU KNOW.
COME ON, McCALL, ADMIT IT.
THIS GUY HENDRICKS,
WHO PLAYS STREET,
SENDS OUT VIBES ON YOUR
WAVELENGTH, DOESN'T HE?
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,
WOMEN CAN'T GET ENOUGH
OF THIS GUY. WHO KNOWS?
THIS COULD BE YOUR BIG
OPPORTUNITY HERE TODAY.
IF YOU'RE TRYING TO
SAY, COULD I SING A DUET
WITH SOMEBODY
LIKE J.J. HENDRICKS?
IN A MINUTE.
BOO!
AAH! AAH!
HOLD IT!
THIS IS STREET.
TELL THEM TO SEND A MEAT
WAGON TO 5th AND ALVARADO.
TELL CAPTAIN GRAYSON
FRANKIE T. GOT HIS
TICKET PUNCHED...
PERMANENTLY.
Director: AND CUT.
PRINT IT.
THERE YOU GO.
AHH.
GOOD JOB.
YOU KNOW, IF THIS J.J. HENDRICKS
KEEPS FLASHING YOU
THOSE PEARLY WHITES,
YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO BUY
AN AWFUL LARGE
PAIR OF SUNGLASSES.
HUNTER, CAN I HELP IT
IF THE GUY LIKES WHAT HE SEES?
COME ON, LOOK AT THE
WAY THEY DRESS THE GUY.
CHARLIE, WHAT'S THIS
OLD HEAP DOING HERE?
OR IS THIS THE ONE
WE'RE GONNA WRECK
DURING THE CHASE?
NO, NO. THIS IS MY CAR.
YOUR CAR?
YOU MUST BE KIDDING?
CAPTAIN SAID YOU WERE
INTERESTED IN REALITY.
OH, COME ON. YOU'RE
PUTTING ME ON.
SPEAKING OF REALITY,
YOU KNOW, AS A PRODUCER
OF THIS TELEVISION SHOW,
I'D BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT
HOW YOU DRESS YOUR STAR.
I MEAN, A REAL COP, A
REAL POLICE OFFICER,
WOULD NEVER HAVE HIS CUFFS
HANGING THAT
CLOSE TO HIS WEAPON.
YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
I HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU, HUNTER.
CAPTAIN WYLER TELLS ME SOME
INTERESTING STORIES ABOUT YOU.
I'D LIKE TO HEAR 'EM.
FOLLOW ME, COME HERE.
HEY, I SEE YOU MET A
COUPLE OF METRO'S FINEST.
STU, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET
SERGEANTS McCALL AND HUNTER.
HOW DO YOU DO? HI.
STU'S HEAD OF PUBLICITY,
SO BE NICE TO HIM.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT,
LIKE, MAYBE DINNER TONIGHT?
WELL, I WOULD LOVE TO,
BUT I'VE ALREADY MADE
OTHER PLANS FOR TONIGHT.
HOW ABOUT THE WRAP PARTY?
I MEAN, YOU GOTTA AT LEAST
STOP BY THE WRAP PARTY.
I'D LOVE FOR YOU TO BE THERE.
HEY, J.J., THE REPORTER
FROM THE TIMES
IS STILL WAITING.
ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN'T KEEP
THE PRESS WAITING, CAN YOU?
I'LL CATCH YOU GUYS LATER.
BAY, GIVE THEM
ANYTHING THEY WANT.
BYE.
BYE.
CIAO.
TERRIFIC GUY.
A PRINCE.
YOU FOLKS NEED SOMETHING,
JUST HOLLER.
I NEED SOME COFFEE.
HUNTER, COME ON. IT'S SHOW BIZ.
GLAMOUR, EXCITEMENT...
J.J. HENDRICKS.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST RELAX?
JUST LIGHTEN UP, WILL YA?
A LOT OF INTERESTING
PEOPLE HERE ON THIS SET.
NOW, YOU NEVER KNOW
WHO YOU MIGHT MEET.
HI.
HELLO.
HEY, ARE YOU THE POLICE
OFFICERS THEY SENT OUT?
YEAH, WE CERTAINLY ARE.
THIS IS SERGEANT McCALL.
I'M SERGEANT HUNTER.
OH, WOW!
I BET IT'S EXCITING BEING
INVOLVED IN POLICE WORK.
AH, YES, IT IS.
ALTHOUGH WE DON'T GET SHOT AT
AS MUCH AS YOU AND STREET DO.
IN OUR CASE, THE
BULLETS ARE REAL.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT BOTHERS ME.
I WANTED TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT THAT,
HOW IT FEELS WHEN
THE BULLETS ARE REAL.
Hendricks: I FEEL THE
SAME WAY ABOUT YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU SWING BY?
YOU KNOW I HATE UNWINDING ALONE.
YEAH, ME, TOO, BABY.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
AW, HONEY...
HEY!
HELLO?
HELLO?
AAH! AAH!
YOU JUST COULDN'T HELP
PLAY THE HERO, COULD YOU?
WHO FOUND THE BODY?
GIRLFRIEND, CINDY LARWIN.
SHE'S PRETTY SHAKEN
UP, BUT WHO WOULDN'T BE?
THIS ONE'S LIABLE TO
GIVE ME NIGHTMARES.
WHAT DID THE CORONER HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT THE PROBABLE
CAUSE OF DEATH?
FRACTURED SKULL.
LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS
THE MURDER WEAPON.
GIVE ME A PLASTIC
SACK, WOULD YOU, RAY?
THANKS.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE THE
LAB LOOK AT THIS RING.
SEE IF THEY CAN
COME UP WITH ANY TYPE
OF SKIN FRAGMENTS
ON IT, WOULD YOU?
WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM
WITH THIS, HUNTER?
PROBABLY THE SAME
PROBLEM YOU'VE GOT WITH IT.
YEAH, WELL, MINE IS WHY
SOMETHING LIKE ACID?
W-WHY WOULD
SOMEBODY COME IN HERE
AND BURN OFF HENDRICKS' FACE
AND THEN KILL HIM?
THAT DOESN'T TRACK.
EXCUSE ME, WHERE'S THE WITNESS?
HE WAS JUST LYING
THERE. FIRST I THOUGHT
HE WAS STRETCHED OUT
IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE.
THEN I SAW HIS FACE.
TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT.
JUST TRY TO PUT IT
OUT OF YOUR MIND.
WE WERE GOING TO BE MARRIED.
NOBODY KNEW THAT, BUT IT'S TRUE.
EVERYBODY THOUGHT
J.J. WAS THIS "MR. MACHO"
'CAUSE OF THE SHOW.
HE WASN'T. HE WAS
JUST THIS WONDERFUL
GUY WHO LOVED ME.
I'M PREGNANT.
WHEN I TOLD J.J.,
HE WAS SO EXCITED.
HE SAID ALL HE WANTED TO DO
WAS BE WITH ME AND HAVE BABIES.
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY.
BUT IT'S ALL HE
COULD TALK ABOUT.
THIS WAS GOING TO BE HIS
LAST SEASON ON THE SHOW.
HE WAS GONNA DO MOVIES.
HE WOULDN'T HAVE
TO WORK SO HARD.
WE COULD BE TOGETHER MORE.
HE LOVED ME. HE REALLY DID.
BAY FETNER'S BEEN CALLING ME.
I'VE BEEN AVOIDING HIS CALLS,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO HIM.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING
AT ALL THAT I CAN TELL HIM?
YEAH, I HAVE.
FETNER CALLED
HENDRICKS A REAL PRINCE.
WELL, I CHECKED HIM OUT.
THE GUY WASN'T A PRINCE,
HE WAS A CREEP. HE HIT ON ME,
HE HIT ON EVERY GIRL AROUND.
HE GOT SOME POOR GIRL
NAMED CINDY LARWIN PREGNANT
AND INTO THINKING
THAT SHE WAS THE
ONLY WOMAN IN HIS LIFE.
NOW, WHO KNOWS HOW
MANY MORE THERE WERE?
AND I THINK WITH
A GUY LIKE THAT,
YOU GOT A LOT OF MOTIVE.
I WANT A LIST OF ALL THE WOMEN
THAT HENDRICKS
WAS INVOLVED WITH.
YOU GOT IT. I'M WORKING ON IT.
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S
OFFICE REPORTS
THAT HENDRICKS WAS
SPRAYED WITH ACID, THEN KILLED.
NOW, MY QUESTION TO YOU IS,
"WHY WOULD YOU KILL SOMEBODY
WHEN YOU ONLY CAME
THERE TO DISFIGURE HIM?"
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
GOT A GOOD ANSWER?
WELL, WE FOUND
FRAGMENTS OF LATEX RUBBER
AND RED DYE ON HENDRICKS' RING.
NOW, PERHAPS THIS FELLOW
HE WAS FIGHTING WITH
WAS WEARING SOME SORT
OF A HALLOWEEN MASK,
AND IN THE STRUGGLE
HE REVEALED HIMSELF,
AND THE GUY HAD NO
OTHER ALTERNATIVE
BUT TO KILL HIM.
OK. WE'RE MOVING.
BUT I GOT A QUESTION.
HOW DO YOU DO IT?
DO WHAT?
I SEND YOU AWAY FROM HERE
TO GET YOU OUT OF
MY HAIR FOR A WHILE,
AND A HOMICIDE CASE, A
MEDIA EVENT CASE, NO LESS,
FALLS RIGHT INTO YOUR LAPS.
HOW DO YOU MANAGE THAT?
EXTREMELY LUCKY, I GUESS.
REMEMBER THAT WRAP
PARTY I WAS INVITED TO?
YES, I DO, BUT I DON'T
BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING
TO HAVE TOO MUCH TO
CELEBRATE NOW, DO YOU?
McCall: YOU DON'T KNOW
HOLLYWOOD, HUNTER.
AAAH!
IS THIS MY IMAGINATION
OR DID WE JUST STEP DOWN
INTO A MALE BEAUTY CONTEST?
HA HA HA HA HA.
IT'S CALLED LOOKING FOR
THE NEW GUY, HUNTER.
THE ROLE DOESN'T EXACTLY
CALL FOR A FEMALE LEAD.
AH.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
WELL, SO GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT.
YEAH. NICE TURNOUT.
I KNOW HOW THIS MUST LOOK,
I MEAN, IT'S ONLY BEEN 2 DAYS
AFTER IT ALL HAPPENED, RIGHT?
YOU DIDN'T KNOW J.J.
HE WOULDN'T WANT HIS
FRIENDS BEING DEPRESSED.
HE'D WANT THEM OUT HAVING FUN,
LIKE THIS, SHARING THE
JOY OF KNOWING HIM.
A GUY LIKE J.J.
MUST HAVE HAD A
LOT OF GOOD FRIENDS.
OH, HE WAS ONE OF
THE BEST-LIKED GUYS
IN OUR BUSINESS.
HE WAS A REAL SWEETHEART.
THE MAN WAS A CARING INDIVIDUAL,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
PEOPLE'S FEELINGS
MEANT A LOT TO HIM.
YEAH, I GUESS HE
WAS A REAL SAINT.
Man: BAY, HEY, BAY, HOW ARE YOU?
ALAN, BABY, SO GLAD
YOU COULD MAKE IT.
ENJOY YOURSELVES.
Bay: ALAN.
I JUST HAD TO GET OUT OF THERE.
OH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
NOW, CINDY, IF I CAN HELP
YOU WITH ANYTHING, PLEASE...
YOU'VE ALREADY DONE
ENOUGH ALREADY, PEG.
YOU WERE THERE
WHEN I NEEDED A FRIEND.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
IT. EVERY TIME
I GET INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE,
SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS.
WHAT YOU NEED IS SOME WORK,
SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU BUSY
AND HELP YOU THROUGH ALL THIS.
NOW, IT'LL BE A COUPLE OF MONTHS
BEFORE YOU SHOW, SO...
I DON'T STILL
THINK I'M UP TO IT.
MAYBE AFTER THE BABY'S BORN.
AAAH! AAAAH!
AAAAH!
LOOK, MY ARM.
THEY GOT AN APB OUT ON THE CAR.
PROBABLY WIND UP BEING STOLEN
FROM SOME PARKING LOT.
YOU TWO GOT HERE FAST.
WELL, WE WERE ALREADY HERE.
WE WERE INVITED,
GUESTS OF YOUR
FRIEND, MR. FETNER.
YOU WERE HERE AND
THE GUY GOT AWAY?
YEAH, WE WERE HERE
AND HE GOT AWAY.
COULDN'T HOLD ON TO HIM, HUH?
NO.
UH, SERGEANT
HUNTER SAVED MY LIFE.
IF IT WASN'T FOR HIS ACTIONS
AND SERGEANT
McCALL'S QUICK THINKING,
I'D PROBABLY BE ON MY WAY
TO A BURN UNIT RIGHT NOW.
McCall: THIS IS PEGGY SULLIVAN.
SHE'S THE CASTING DIRECTOR
ON THE STREET HEAT SERIES.
DID YOU GET ANY KIND OF A LOOK
AT ALL AT THIS GUY?
YES, I DID.
I'VE BEEN AFRAID TO SAY THIS
'CAUSE I REALLY DIDN'T
SEE HIM THAT WELL,
BUT FOR A SPLIT SECOND I
THOUGHT OF DAVID TALON.
OH, WITH A SKI MASK ON?
I'M A CASTING DIRECTOR. I
STUDY ACTORS' PHYSIQUES.
YOU KNOW, THE WAY
THEY WALK, TALK.
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT
HIS SILHOUETTE, HIS POSTURE.
I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS DAVID.
IT COULDN'T BE, BUT...
DAVID TALON. I'VE HEARD OF HIM.
HE WAS THE ORIGINAL
LEAD ON STREET HEAT.
THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT,
AND J.J. REPLACED
HIM ON THE SHOW.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WELL, HE WAS INTO DRUGS
LONG BEFORE HE GOT THE JOB.
WITH SUCCESS, IT GOT WORSE.
IT GOT TO THE POINT
WHERE HE WAS FREE-BASING
ONE DAY IN HIS DRESSING ROOM
AND IT BLEW UP IN HIS FACE.
AND HE DECIDED TO BLAME
ALL OF US FOR WHAT HAPPENED.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
BLAME ALL OF YOU
FOR WHAT HAPPENED?
DAVID TALON WAS NOT ONE OF
YOUR NICER PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD.
HE WAS NEUROTIC. HE WAS
UNDER ANALYSIS FOR YEARS.
AND HE WAS CONVINCED
THAT ONE OF US
OR ALL OF US ON THE SHOW
TAMPERED WITH HIS
EQUIPMENT TO GET RID OF HIM.
WELL, I SEE YOU DECIDED
TO LIVE IN THAT SHIRT.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT HER.
SHE LOVES THE MEN'S
ROOM, DON'T YOU?
CALLED YOU LAST NIGHT
AND NOBODY ANSWERED.
WHERE WERE YOU?
I WAS OUT JOGGING.
OH, IS THAT WHAT
THEY CALL THAT NOW?
YOU'RE A LAUGH RIOT, ALICE.
OUR SQUIRT GUN KILLER.
I GOT IT FROM PEG
SULLIVAN LAST NIGHT.
I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
DAVID TALON WAS ONE OF
THE FEW PATIENTS I'VE TREATED
WHO HAD ABSOLUTELY
NO REDEEMING QUALITIES.
HE HAD SUCH AN EGO
MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY
DIDN'T COVER IT UNTIL
AFTER HIS ACCIDENT.
THEN HE DEVELOPED SOME
CLASSIC PARANOID CHARACTERISTICS.
PARANOID ENOUGH TO KILL PEOPLE?
IT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY.
LOOK, DOC, WE'RE AWARE
OF THE MEDICAL ETHICS HERE,
BUT MAYBE YOU CAN HELP US OUT.
YOU MUST HAVE COPIES OF
YOUR DISCUSSIONS WITH HIM...
NOTES, TAPES, SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN GET A LOOK AT.
YOU MUST BE KIDDING.
DAVID TALON IS MY PATIENT.
THE TAPES ARE CONFIDENTIAL.
I WON'T LET YOU SEE A THING.
YOUR PATIENT'S A MURDERER.
HE'S RUNNING AROUND THIS TOWN
DISFIGURING PEOPLE WITH ACID.
THE ANSWER, SERGEANT, IS NO.
YOU CAN TRY FOR A SEARCH WARRANT
IF YOU LIKE, BUT
YOU WON'T GET ONE,
NOT FROM ANY COURT
I'VE EVER HEARD OF.
WHAT A CHARMER.
HE'S RIGHT, YOU KNOW.
THERE'S NO WAY WE'RE
GOING TO GET A JUDGE
TO GIVE US A COURT ORDER
TO GET AT THOSE RECORDS.
WELL, IT DOESN'T MEAN
WE CAN'T GET THEM
WITH A LITTLE BIT OF
IMAGINATION NOW, DOES IT?
HUNTER, ARE YOU SURE
YOU WANT TO GO AROUND
ONE MORE TIME WITH THE CAPTAIN?
WELL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO,
SIT AROUND AND WAIT
FOR THIS TALON GUY
TO GIVE PEGGY
SULLIVAN AN ACID BATH?
♪ ...PLAYING ♪
WHO ARE YOU?
WHERE'S LAURA?
WAIT A MINUTE. YOU
CAN'T GO IN THERE.
WHERE'S LAURA?
I'M SORRY, DOLL, WHAT'D YOU SAY?
I CAN'T HEAR NOTHING
WITH THESE THINGS ON.
WHERE'S LAURA?
OH... OH, LAURA.
LAURA HAD TO GO TO THE AIRPORT
TO PICK UP HER MOTHER.
YOU SEE, HER MOTHER'S
COMING IN FROM FRESNO.
AND BELIEVE ME,
THIS IS A REAL DRAG,
AND YOU WOULD KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
IF YOU EVER MET HER MOTHER.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS NOW.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS NOW!
HUH?
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO SHOW UP UNTIL 6:00.
DR. BRESLEY HAS A
4:00 APPOINTMENT.
4:00. WELL, UH, MY WATCH SAYS
IT'S 3:00 HERE. 3... SEE, 3:00.
I CAN BE IN AND OUT OF
HERE IN HALF AN HOUR,
NO PROBLEM, BUT, SEE, LIKE,
IF I DON'T GET TO CLEAN
THIS OFFICE TODAY,
THEN I HAVE TO COME
BACK FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
AND THEN THE DOCTOR'S
GONNA COME IN HERE,
HE'S GONNA START POPPING
THEM BAD BREATH MINTS
HE'S ALWAYS TAKING. POPS THEM IN
AND GETS A LITTLE TINFOIL
STUCK BACK IN HIS TEETH,
AND HE THROWS IT
ALL OVER THE CARPET,
AND I PERSONALLY HAPPEN TO THINK
THIS LOOKS VERY DISGUSTING,
BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT ME
TO VACUUM, HEY, NO PROBLEM.
OK, BUT YOU GOT TO BE
OUT OF HERE IN 15 MINUTES.
15 MINUTES, FINE.
HALF AN HOUR, 15...
OK, I'LL DO THIS.
OK. 15 MINUTES.
WHAT DID YOU SAY? WAIT,
WAIT, HOLD ON A SECOND.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
Talon, on tape: THEY
WERE JEALOUS.
THEY ALL KNEW I WAS WHAT
HELD THE SHOW TOGETHER.
I WAS THE STAR, MAN,
AND THEY KNEW IT.
HOW MUCH LONGER
ARE YOU GONNA BE?
HUH?
YOU SAID THIS WOULD
ONLY TAKE 15 MINUTES.
SECONDS. I WILL BE
GONE IN MERE SECONDS.
Talon: THEY ALL
CONSPIRED TO GET ME.
EVERY ONE OF THEM
HAD HIS OWN REASON
FOR WANTING ME OFF THAT SHOW.
THEY RIGGED THAT
ETHER TO EXPLODE.
J.J., THAT CREEP FETNER,
AND THE SLUT. THEY COULDN'T
WAIT TO GET RID OF ME.
Bresley: WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH ALL THIS BEFORE.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, JUST
AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
NOW, NO ONE TAMPERED WITH
YOUR FREE-BASING EQUIPMENT.
CAN'T YOU GET THAT STRAIGHT?
THIS IS L-56.
I'VE GOT A POSSIBLE 187
AT BAY FETNER'S PLACE,
1133 ST. WAVERLY ROAD.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY THERE NOW.
REQUEST A BACKUP. AND
MAKE SURE YOU SEND A UNIT
OVER TO PEG
SULLIVAN'S PLACE. OUT.
Radio: IT JUST
CAME IN, SERGEANT,
THAT BAY FETNER WAS
FOUND 10 MINUTES AGO.
SOMEONE ATTACKED HIM WITH ACID.
SAME M.O. AS THE HENDRICKS CASE.
IS HE ALIVE?
ACCORDING TO THE
PARAMEDICS, HE'LL LIVE,
BUT HE'LL BE BADLY SCARRED.
WELL, YOU BETTER
TELL CAPTAIN WYLER.
FETNER'S A GOOD FRIEND OF HIS.
WHAT ABOUT THAT NUMBER WE
GOT FROM TALON'S PSYCHIATRIST?
DID YOU GET AN ADDRESS ON THAT?
THE STATMAN HOTEL,
OVER ON 3rd AND FOUNTAIN.
L-56 OUT.
THIS GUY REALLY OUGHT
TO HAVE HIS LOCKS CHANGED.
HUNTER.
YEAH?
PAYCHECK STUB FROM
THE SUNSET WAX MUSEUM.
NOTHING LIKE A WALK THROUGH
A MURDERERS' ROW, HUH?
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT THIS PLACE
GIVES ME THE CREEPS.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?
I DIDN'T HEAR ANYONE KNOCK.
IN CASE YOU DIDN'T
SEE IT, THERE'S A SIGN
OUT FRONT THAT SAYS
"EMPLOYEES ONLY."
WE ASSUME, MR. TALON,
YOU'VE BEEN
LISTENING TO THE NEWS.
WE ALSO ASSUME YOU'RE
AWARE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
YOU KNEW OR ONCE
WORKED WITH ARE NOW DEAD
OR IN THE HOSPITAL WITH
THEIR FACES BURNED OFF.
YEAH, I HEARD ABOUT
THAT ON THE RADIO.
THAT'S TOO BAD.
YEAH, IT WAS.
I GUESS YOU ALSO KNOW,
THEN, THAT J.J HENDRICKS
WAS FOUND MUTILATED AND MURDERED
AT HIS HOME ON THURSDAY NIGHT.
I GUESS YOU KNEW HIM
PRETTY WELL, DIDN'T YOU?
NO, NOT VERY WELL.
HE WAS JUST A GUY
WHO DID WALK-ONS
IN STREET HEAT, SO...
DON'T EXPECT ME TO
GRIEVE FOR THE GUY.
I'M GONNA ASK YOU WHERE
YOU WERE THURSDAY NIGHT.
THAT'S THE NIGHT
J.J. HENDRICKS GOT
HIS FACE BURNED OFF
AND HIS BRAINS BASHED
IN. BUT BEFORE I DO,
SERGEANT McCALL WANTS
TO GIVE YOU A MESSAGE.
"YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT."
WHOA... HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY,
I USED TO RECITE
THAT CRAP ON MY SHOW,
SO FORGET ABOUT IT.
THURSDAY NIGHT,
LET'S SEE. OH, YES,
I WAS TAKING IN A MOVIE.
I LIKE TO SIT IN THE DARK.
MAYBE YOU AND I CAN
HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE,
I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT.
PRETTY GOOD LIKENESS, HUH?
YEAH, EVER SINCE OLD J.J. DIED,
HE'S HOTTER THAN EVER.
WE'RE MAKING UP A NEW
BUNCH OF FIGURES OF HIM.
I JUST FOUND THIS OLD
HEAD LYING AROUND.
THOUGHT I'D GET RID OF IT.
I BET A GUY LIKE YOU HAS ACCESS
TO A LOT OF CHEMICALS
AND ACIDS, HUH?
HEY, IF YOU'VE GOT SOME
KIND OF CASE AGAINST ME,
ARREST ME, AND
I'LL CALL MY LAWYER
AND WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
IF NOT, WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE?
LOOK, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU
WAS A TERRIBLE, TRAGIC ACCIDENT.
BUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW
IS NOT GONNA HELP THINGS,
AND IT'S NOT GONNA MAKE
ANYTHING BETTER FOR YOURSELF.
YOU THINK I'M SICK?
YOU THINK THE EXPLOSION
IN THE DRESSING
ROOM WAS AN ACCIDENT?
WELL, YOU WEREN'T THERE, LADY,
AND I WAS, AND IT
WAS NO ACCIDENT.
NOW GET OUT OF HERE!
GET OUT!
McCall: WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WHY DON'T YOU GET OVER
TO PEGGY SULLIVAN'S HOUSE?
IF THIS GUY IS GONNA
MAKE HIS MOVE,
I WANT ONE OF US TO BE THERE.
I'M GONNA CHECK
OUT HIS WORKSHOP.
PEG WASN'T THE ONE THAT
TALON WAS REFERRING TO
ON BRESLEY'S TAPE. HE
WASN'T AFTER HER AT ALL.
LOOKS THAT WAY, DOESN'T IT?
KNOWING HIS OLD GIRLFRIEND
WAS INVOLVED WITH HENDRICKS,
THAT WOULD MAKE
TALON NUTS, WOULDN'T IT?
THIS IS L-56.
PATCH ME THROUGH TO
A LIEUTENANT DeMARCO
IN MISSING PERSONS, WOULD YOU?
DeMarco: WHAT CAN I
DO FOR YOU, HUNTER?
LOU, WE'VE BEEN TRYING
TO LOCATE A WOMAN
BY THE NAME OF CINDY LARWIN.
NOW, WE'VE TRIED HER
LAST KNOWN ADDRESS
AND HER PARENTS' HOUSE.
WE'VE COME UP WITH NOTHING.
NOW, YOU'RE THE EXPERT, WE
WANT YOU TO FIND HER FOR US.
I'VE GOT A NAME AND
A NUMBER FOR YOU:
PEGGY SULLIVAN, 555-3792.
NOW, SHE'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU
SOME INFORMATION
TO START OFF WITH.
DeMarco: OK, GOT IT.
BUT CAN I ASK YOU
THE SAME QUESTION
I ALWAYS ASK WITH
A MISSING PERSON...
DO YOU REALLY
THINK THEY'RE MISSING
OR DO YOU THINK THEY'RE DEAD?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
THE ANSWER TO THAT,
BUT WE'RE ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING
THAT MIGHT JUST ANSWER
THAT QUESTION FOR ALL OF US.
L-56 OUT.
AND YOU'RE SURE
TALON'S AFTER HER?
WE WOULDN'T BET AGAINST IT.
ALL YOU GOTTA DO
IS GET THE STUDIO
TO TAKE OUT AN AD IN
TOMORROW MORNING'S TRADES
THAT CINDY LARWIN IS
GOING TO BE A GUEST ACTRESS
ON ONE OF YOUR TELEVISION SHOWS.
IT'S NO PROBLEM,
BUT THERE'S NO WAY
ANYONE CAN GET ON THIS
LOT WHO ISN'T AUTHORIZED TO.
WE HAVE ARMED
GUARDS AT ALL 3 GATES
AND DAVID TALON KNOWS
THAT. HE WON'T SHOW UP.
SAM, THIS IS HARRY
OVER IN MAINTENANCE.
WE'VE GOT A BLOOMING
LEAK OVER ON STAGE 4.
A BLOODY PIPE'S BUSTED.
I CALLED WILCOX PLUMBING,
UM, SHOOT 'EM THROUGH
WHEN THEY GET THERE,
WILL YOU, GUY?
GOT A CALL ABOUT A BROKEN PIPE.
RIGHT. HOLD ON A SECOND.
SOUND STAGE 4. IT'S OVER
AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LOT.
GO DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL
YOU GET TO WARDROBE.
YOU CAN'T MISS IT.
GOT IT. THANKS. ALL RIGHT.
FREEZE!
DROP THE GUN RIGHT NOW.
DROP IT. DROP IT.
TURN AROUND, PUT YOUR
HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD.
DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE.
HUNTER, I GOT HIM. MOVE IN.
Radio: I'M ON MY WAY.
McCALL!
I'M OK!
SECURITY, THIS IS
SERGEANT McCALL.
WE HAVE A WOUNDED SUSPECT
TRYING TO LEAVE THE LOT.
SECURE ALL THE GATES.
Dispatcher: YOU'RE
PATCHED THROUGH
TO THAT NUMBER, SERGEANT.
DR. BRESLEY.
Dr. Bresley: YOU DON'T
GIVE UP, DO YOU, HUNTER?
YOUR PATIENT JUST
CAUGHT A BULLET
TRYING TO OFF ANOTHER VICTIM.
NOW, HE'S NOT AT HIS HOTEL ROOM
AND HE'S CERTAINLY NOT
GOING TO CHECK INTO A HOSPITAL
WITH THAT KIND OF
A BULLET WOUND.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY
TO THE WAX MUSEUM.
IF THIS GUY SHOWS
UP AT YOUR PLACE,
HOLD ON TO HIM.
HE WON'T SHOW UP HERE, HUNTER.
HE DOESN'T LIKE ME.
WONDER WHY?
AND IF HE DID,
I WOULDN'T VIOLATE
MEDICAL ETHICS
AND CALL YOU.
BUT I THINK YOU'RE HEADED
FOR THE RIGHT PLACE.
THAT WAX MUSEUM IS
PROBABLY THE ONLY PLACE
HE FEELS SAFE AT.
IT'S NOT REALITY.
HOLD IT, TALON!
AAH!
SIR...
HERE'S THE PICTURE OF
HENDERSON YOU WANTED.
OH, YEAH. PUT IT OVER
THERE WITH THE OTHERS.
WHO, UH...
WHO SUBMITTED THIS ONE, SIR?
FOWLER.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE, UH,
CONSIDERING HUNTER, SIR.
COME IN, HUNTER, McCALL.
WANT TO SEE US?
I JUST GOT WORD ON
THE CAR YOU'RE USING.
YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE ONE
I ORDERED FOR YOU. WHY?
WELL, I FIGURED IT
WAS A MEMO MIX-UP.
YOU KNOW, WITH THE
HIGH-SPEED CHASE AND ALL,
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
BE SAVING THAT CAR
FOR SOMEBODY LIKE, UH, BERNIE.
HUNTER, NEXT TIME SOMEBODY
TELLS YOU I GAVE AN ORDER,
TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT.
I GAVE IT, AND I MEANT IT.
RIGHT? RIGHT.
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
WHY IS MY PICTURE IN HERE?
IT WAS SENT IN AS A POSSIBILITY
FOR THE RECRUITMENT POSTER.
OH, LISTEN, DON'T DO THAT.
DON'T CONSIDER ME FOR THAT, OK?
I DON'T LIKE PUBLICITY.
WELL, I'M GLAD TO
HEAR THAT, HUNTER.
BUT DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
YOU'RE NOT UNDER CONSIDERATION.
NEITHER ARE YOU, TERWILLIGER.
NEITHER ARE THOSE GUYS.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
IF YOU WANT TO SEE
WHO I'M GONNA
USE IN THE POSTER...
TAKE A LOOK.
