Hunter (1984–1991): Season 2, Episode 9 - The Big Fall - full transcript
Hunter and McCall realize they're attracted to each other as they protect an endangered witness who's set to testify before a grand jury.
THERE OUGHT TO BE SOME
KIND OF PHONE NUMBER
YOU CAN CALL,
LIKE DIAL-A-SQUEAL.
I'M A PROTECTED
WITNESS, REMEMBER?
WHY SHOULD I BE NICE
TO SCUM LIKE YOU?
UH!
I SUPPOSE YOU FOUND IT
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
TO SUBDUE A SUSPECT
WITH A CHOKE HOLD?
THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO LIE.
WOULD HAVE SAVED YOU
FROM GETTING SUSPENDED.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO
STOP MEETING LIKE THIS.
HUNTER WILL NEVER
HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
GOOD-BYE, HUNTER,
WHEREVER YOU ARE.
AAH!
IT'S NOT OVER TILL
THE FAT LADY SINGS.
WORKS FOR ME.
LET'S KISS THIS OFF.
BEEN SITTING THIS
STAKEOUT FOR 4 DAYS.
FABRO HASN'T EVEN
BEEN SEEN IN 6 MONTHS.
IT'S OBVIOUS HE'S
NOT GOING TO SHOW UP
TO HIS BROTHER'S RESTAURANT.
THESE ANONYMOUS TIPS STINK.
WHAT'S THE SCORE?
HMM. WHAT?
WHAT IS THE SCORE?
OH. NOW THE GOOD NEWS, MY DEAR.
RAIDERS DOWN BY 6.
BALL ON THEIR OWN 20.
30 SECONDS TO GO.
10 BUCKS, BIG GUY.
NOT OVER TILL THE FAT
LADY SINGS, DEE DEE.
IT IS OVER, HUNTER.
THE CLOCK JUST
HASN'T RUN OUT YET.
LOOK, EVEN IF THEY SCORE,
I STILL GOT A
3-POINT SPREAD. I WIN!
TOUCHDOWN, CONVERSION,
ONSIDES KICK RECOVERY,
AND A FIELD GOAL. I WIN.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
HEY, McCALL, COME HERE.
WHAT DO YOU GOT?
THE GUY IN THE PANAMA HAT
AND THE EXTRA 20 POUNDS.
DOES HE LOOK FAMILIAR?
NO. I CAN'T MAKE HIM.
20 POUNDS LIGHTER,
WITHOUT THE RED HAIR?
THAT'S FABRO. YOU SURE?
YEAH. I'D KNOW THAT SCUM.
HE'S PAYING HIS CHECK.
I'M GETTING OUT HERE.
LOOK OUT! HEY! MOVE IT! MOVE IT!
EVERYBODY DOWN! HE'S GOT A GUN!
HEY! HEY! HEY, THAT'S MY BIKE!
I WANT THAT VAN!
GIVE ME THAT VAN!
LOOK OUT, OLD TIMER!
FABRO!
UNH!
UNH! AAH!
Hunter: 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, AND 10 LOUSY DOLLARS FOR YOU.
YOU'RE VERY LUCKY THE
RAIDERS HAVE INJURIES.
AREN'T THEY PLAYING NEXT SUNDAY?
GREED DOES NOT
BECOME YOU, SERGEANT.
HUNTER AND McCALL.
AH. GREAT.
CHAVEZ, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING... PROPOSING MARRIAGE?
AHEM. YES, SIR.
GET IN HERE. CLOSE
THE DOOR AND SIT DOWN.
I SUPPOSE YOU FOUND IT
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
TO SUBDUE A SUSPECT
WITH A CHOKE HOLD
IN FRONT OF A
BUSLOAD OF TOURISTS.
YEAH, I DID.
THE GUY TOOK A
SHOT AT ME IN PUBLIC.
HE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEBODY.
JUST ADD IT TO THE REST
OF HIS CHARGES, CAPTAIN.
HE'S NOT GOING TO
FACE ANY CHARGES.
HE MADE A DEAL.
HE'S GOING TO STAY OUT OF JAIL
IF HE GIVES US WARREN HAYWOOD.
STATE SENATOR HAYWOOD?
YEAH.
BACK IN '77, A TWO-BIT PUNK
BY THE NAME OF MANNY WEISS
WAS GOING TO FINGER HAYWOOD
IN A JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
INVESTIGATION.
SEEMS HE MET WITH A
FATAL AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
THE DAY BEFORE THE HEARING.
FABRO IS GOING TO TESTIFY
THAT HAYWOOD
CONTRACTED HIM FOR THE JOB.
AND WHAT HAPPENS TO FABRO?
HE GETS A NEW I.D.,
TAKES A PERMANENT WALK ELSEWHERE
AT THE TAXPAYERS' EXPENSE.
WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM, HUH?
WHY NOT?
WHY NOT? THE GUY
SPENT HALF HIS LIFE
KILLING PEOPLE,
BREAKING ARMS AND LEGS.
THAT'S WHY NOT!
LISTEN, FABRO'S NOTHING.
HE'S A FLY.
I WANT THE GUY WHO HIRES HIM.
IT'S WORTH IT...
TO PUT HAYWOOD AWAY IS WORTH IT,
AND I WANT YOU
TWO TO BELIEVE THAT
BECAUSE YOU'RE
LOOKING AFTER FABRO
UNTIL WE GET HIM TO A GRAND JURY
AND GET HAYWOOD INDICTED.
HEY, WAIT JUST A SECOND!
LISTEN TO ME, AND LISTEN GOOD.
HAYWOOD CAN'T ALLOW
FABRO TO TESTIFY.
HE'LL DO ANYTHING
HE CAN TO STOP HIM.
IF HE FINDS HIM, HE'LL KILL HIM.
I'LL SQUIRREL HIM AWAY
LIKE HE'S THE CROWN JEWELS.
HE'LL BE GUARDED IN
TWO 12-HOUR SHIFTS.
5 PEOPLE WILL
KNOW WHERE HE IS...
YOU AND ME AND THE
OTHER TWO-MAN TEAM.
NOBODY IS TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
OR WHAT YOU'RE DOING THIS WEEK.
NOBODY.
HOW DO YOU RESPOND
TO THE GRAND JURY
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST
YOU, SENATOR?
NO COMMENT.
DO YOU KNOW GUSTAV FABRO? NO.
DO YOU FEEL THIS WILL AFFECT
YOUR CHANCES OF REELECTION?
I'LL BE UP FOR
REELECTION IN 3 YEARS.
ASK ME THEN.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE SENATOR
AT THIS TIME DOESN'T FEEL THAT...
BEING COOPED UP
IN THIS HOTEL ROOM
GUARDING MR. ARMPIT OF 1985...
I COULD REALLY LEARN
TO HATE THE CAPTAIN.
YOUR TURN.
IT'S BEEN MY TURN
THE LAST 3 TIMES.
GOT TO DO IT TILL
YOU GET IT RIGHT.
STEP BACK, FABRO.
I'LL TELL YOU WHEN
YOU CAN COME OUT.
HEY! I'M KNOCKING IN THERE!
HOW MANY TIMES I GOT
TO RUN THIS DOWN TO YOU?
YOU KNOCK ON THE
DOOR, YOU STEP BACK.
I TELL YOU WHEN TO
COME THROUGH THE DOOR,
AND UNFORTUNATELY,
YOU COME THROUGH IT.
I'M GOING CRAZY IN THERE. I
HAD TO TALK TO SOMEBODY.
YOU SEE ANYBODY IN HERE
WHO WANTS TO TALK TO YOU?
TRY SLEEPING.
I AIN'T SLEEPY.
TAKE A SLEEPING PILL.
TAKE THE WHOLE BOTTLE.
HOW ABOUT A TAPE MACHINE
AND SOME PORNO FLICKS?
BETTER YET, HOW ABOUT
A COUPLE OF HOOKERS?
THAT'D PUT ME TO
SLEEP. WHAT DO YOU SAY?
YOU KNOW SOME WHARFIES,
DON'T YOU, HUNTER?
I MEAN, I'M GETTING SO BAD OFF,
I COULD EVEN GO FOR
LITTLE SERGEANT-AT-ARMS.
HOW'S ABOUT IT, BABE?
YOU AND ME PARTY
WHILE HUNTER KEEPS...
Hunter: PARTY'S OVER.
GET IN THERE.
I AIN'T AFRAID OF YOU, HUNTER.
I'M A PROTECTED
WITNESS, REMEMBER?
YOU TAKE ANOTHER WHACK AT ME
AND YOU CAN KISS YOUR
ASS-PIRATIONS GOOD-BYE.
GET IN THERE.
UH. "GET IN THERE."
McCall: YES?
HOW DO YOU SPELL RELIEF?
WELL, HELLO.
AW! HUNTER.
HOW'S IT FEEL FOR A
HOT-DOG DICK LIKE YOU
TO BE PULLING GARBAGE DUTY?
I'LL BET YOU FORGOT
HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES.
I DON'T CALL WHAT YOU
DO LIVING, CRUSSON.
AW, BE NICE.
BE NICE TO YOU? WHY SHOULD I?
WHY SHOULD I BE NICE
TO SCUM LIKE YOU?
WHAT YOU GOT MIGHT BE CATCHING.
YOU GOT NO CALL TO BAD-MOUTH ME.
OH, REALLY? STEP ASIDE.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
BAD COP.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WELL, I.A. COULDN'T PIN
ANYTHING ON THE GUY,
BUT THE STREETS WERE
MIRACULOUSLY CLEANER
WHEN THEY PULLED
HIM OFF OF VICE.
I HATE HIS GUTS.
WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK
ABOUT THE GUY, THOUGH?
SEE YOU AT THE HOTEL.
YUP. ANOTHER EXCITING NIGHT.
WONDER WHAT PAULIE WANTS.
McCall: HI, PAULIE.
WORKING THE POLICE
STATION NOW, HUH?
JUST, YOU KNOW,
TRYING TO GET BY.
YEAH, RIGHT.
I... I GOT SOMETHING COULD
REALLY HELP YOU GUYS.
THIS OUGHT TO BE GOOD.
THERE'S MONEY ON THE STREETS...
HEAVY MONEY, LOOKING
FOR INFORMATION,
WHERE YOU GUYS GOT
THAT FABRO DUDE STASHED.
YOU KNOW, THE ONE
FOR THE GRAND JURY?
FABRO?
I DON'T KNOW. I SAW
HIS NAME ON A REPORT.
SORRY, PAULIE. CAN'T HELP YOU.
HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!
YOU MEAN I DON'T
GET NOTHING FOR THIS?
EXTRA MUSHROOM PIZZA?
THAT'S US. WHAT DO WE OWE YOU?
$16.75.
HERE, KEEP IT.
THANKS A LOT. THANK YOU.
STEP BACK, FABRO.
I'M BACK.
GET UP.
FOOD? IT'S ABOUT TIME.
WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE FRIED CHICKEN?
WE DON'T HAVE FRIED CHICKEN.
WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE IS
RUSSIAN ROULETTE PIZZA.
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
MUSHROOM PIZZA, BUT
ONE SLICE HAS TOADSTOOLS.
2,000 COMEDIANS OUT
OF WORK IN THIS TOWN
AND YOU'RE TRYING TO BE FUNNY?
IF I WANT PIZZA, I'LL
ORDER PIZZA. YOU GOT IT?
NO, YOU WON'T.
WE ORDER PIZZA, YOU EAT PIZZA!
IN THERE! NOW MOVE!
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
HERE. FINISH THAT.
NO, NO. YOU HAVE
IT. I'M TOO FULL.
ME, TOO.
I'LL SAVE IT FOR FABRO.
YEAH. HE COULD USE A FEW POUNDS.
DID I EVER TELL YOU
THAT I COOK A MEAN
EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA?
WHAT YOU DO MEAN...
YOU COOK? SINCE WHEN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SINCE WHEN?
MY MOM'S THE BEST COOK
IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.
I LEARNED EVERYTHING
I KNOW ABOUT COOKING
FROM MY MOTHER.
YOU'RE KIDDING!
NO, I'M NOT KIDDING.
YOU SEE, WE USED TO HAVE
THESE FAMILY GET-TOGETHERS
DOWN IN SAN PEDRO, ON
THE PENINSULA DOWN THERE...
NEAR THE OCEAN? AND
ALL OF OUR RELATIVES,
ALL THE NEIGHBOR FAMILIES
WOULD GET TOGETHER,
EVERY FAMILY WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING A DISH,
AND WE WOULD SIT THERE
AND FEED OUR FACES
LIKE YOU CANNOT BELIEVE.
SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS NICE.
IT WAS. WE'D SIT BACK AND RELAX.
WE'D STUFF OUR FACES.
BOY, IT WAS GREAT.
IS THAT HOW YOU GOT SO BIG?
YES, IT IS.
EVERYBODY IN MY FAMILY IS BIG.
HEY, WHAT'S ON TV
TOMORROW NIGHT?
DON'T KNOW. SAME
THING AS TONIGHT.
JOHNNY CARSON
AGAIN, BUT IT'S A REPEAT.
HEY, THERE'S A
GENE KELLY MOVIE ON!
GOOD. I LOVE MUSICALS.
OK, GOOD. TOMORROW NIGHT,
WE'LL WATCH GENE
KELLY, ME AND YOU,
AND I'LL COOK SOMETHING
FOR US, A LA HUNTER.
YOU'RE GOING TO COOK?
YES.
GOOD. FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING
TO LOOK FORWARD TO HERE.
YES, YOU WILL.
CRUSSON!
YOU ROGAN?
THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU'LL WANT TO BE
SURE I'M NOT WIRED,
SO TAKE A LOOK IF YOU LIKE.
MAYBE YOU BETTER
CHECK ME FOR A WIRE.
I DON'T NEED TO.
WE GOT THE SAME
KIND OF FRIENDS...
JAKE RUSKIN AND
HIS COUSIN ARNIE.
THEY GOT NOTHING BUT GOOD
THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU.
THEY WERE REAL SORRY
WHEN YOU LEFT VICE.
NEVER HEARD OF THEM.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
YOU KNOW WHY JAKE
AND ARNIE LIKE YOU?
BECAUSE THE LAST TIME
THEY DID BUSINESS WITH YOU
AND IT WENT BAD, THROUGH
NO FAULT OF YOURS,
YOU KEPT YOUR COOL,
AND YOU DIDN'T RAT.
AND YOU GOT THE WRONG GUY.
WE CONSIDERED
LONGMEYER, BUT HE'S A DRUNK.
HE'S UNRELIABLE.
HUNTER'S A FANATIC.
McCALL'S A WOMAN.
SHE CAN'T DO IT.
WE EVEN KNOW THE HOTEL.
FABRO'S STASHED AWAY
IN THE HOTEL ST. CLAIRE.
I HATE TO TELL YOU HOW
MUCH MONEY THAT COST.
YOU KNOW WHERE FABRO IS,
WHAT DO YOU NEED ME FOR?
SURE, WE COULD FIRE
A GRENADE THROUGH
THE WINDOW OF ROOM
2610 AND BLOW FABRO AWAY,
BUT THAT'S OUT.
MY CLIENT WOULD BE IN JUST
A DIFFERENT KIND OF TROUBLE.
NO. WE NEED YOU.
YOU'RE DEPENDABLE. YOU'RE SMART.
WE WANT FABRO TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
I DON'T CARE HOW YOU
HANDLE YOUR PARTNER,
BUT IT'S GOT TO LOOK LIKE
FABRO GOT DESPONDENT
AND TOOK A LEAP.
HOW MUCH ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
100,000 UP-FRONT MONEY.
GOOD FAITH.
ANOTHER 200,000
IF YOU BRING IT IN.
IF IT STANDS UP,
ANOTHER 200 AS A BONUS...
LET'S SAY, FOR YOUR
CONTINUED GOODWILL.
NOW, IF WE'RE IN BUSINESS,
YOU TAKE IT... NOW.
WHAT IF I CUT IN LONGMEYER?
WE DON'T ADVISE THAT.
HE'S A DRUNK. HE'S UNRELIABLE.
YOU SHOULDN'T GET HIM INVOLVED.
BE BAD FOR ALL OF US.
HERE WE GO.
NICE AMBIANCE, YES?
THIS IS REALLY NICE.
LET'S CHECK THIS OUT.
THIS IS GOOD!
MM-HMM.
THIS IS REALLY
GOOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE
I'VE KNOWN YOU ALL THIS TIME,
YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS.
DID... DID YOU REALLY COOK THIS?
COME ON.
HAVE SOME FAITH IN ME, WILL YOU?
IT'S GREAT!
CHEFS DON'T ANSWER DOORS.
YOU'VE EARNED IT.
Fabro: HEY!
STEP BACK, FABRO.
Fabro: I'M BACK.
TA-DA!
YEAH!
HUH? HA HA HA!
HA HA HA HA!
OH, BOY, IS THAT FUNNY, FAB.
THAT'S VERY FUNNY.
YEAH. HA HA!
OH, NO! NO!
HA HA HA!
Woman on telephone: HELLO?
Hunter: HI, MOM. IT'S ME.
RICKY! HOW DID IT GO?
IT WENT FANTASTIC.
IT REALLY DID.
SHE LOVED IT.
I KNEW SHE WAS A GOOD GIRL.
YEAH. SHE SURE IS. LOOK,
MOM, FOR TOMORROW,
I WANT YOU TO MAKE
ME A NEAPOLITAN PIZZA.
CAN YOU DO THAT FOR ME?
LEAVE OFF THE PEPPERONI VERDI?
IS THAT ALL RIGHT?
FOR YOU, RICK, NO PEPPERONI.
SAME TIME TOMORROW?
YEAH. SAME TIME
TOMORROW MORNING, MOM.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
I'LL TALK TO YOU TOMORROW.
DON'T KID ME, RICK.
YOU LOVE MY COOKING.
WELL, THAT'S TRUE, TOO.
BUT I LOVE YOU, TOO. THANKS.
BYE.
BUSTED.
NOW, LOOK, I CAN
EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU.
HA HA HA!
WHEN WERE YOU
GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS...
AFTER THE PIZZA CAME?
LOOK, FIRST OF ALL, I
CAN COOK. BELIEVE ME.
NUMBER TWO IS, WE'VE BEEN
IN THIS DUMP FOR 3 OR 4 DAYS.
I JUST WANTED THINGS
TO BE PERFECT FOR YOU.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
YOU STILL OWE ME A MEAL.
YES.
COOKED BY YOU. YES.
YOU, NOT YOUR MOM. NO.
YOU GOT IT.
IT'S THE NITWITS. I'LL GET IT.
RISE AND SHINE, SLEEPING BEAUTY.
WELL, YOU TWO GOT IT MADE...
GETTING PAID TO PLAY HOUSE.
WE DIDN'T INTERRUPT
ANYTHING, DID WE?
IT TOOK YOU SO LONG
TO ANSWER THE DOOR,
I SAID TO RAY MAYBE
WE BETTER COME BACK
IN A COUPLE HOURS.
CRUSSON, I DON'T LIKE YOU
OR YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR,
SO WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP?
HEY, LIGHTEN UP, MAN.
GARY DIDN'T MEAN NOTHING BY IT.
HE WAS JUST JOKING AROUND.
NO, HE WASN'T.
WERE YOU?
TOUCHY, HUNTER.
VERY TOUCHY!
RAY?
RAY?
RAY.
Hunter: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
McCall: NOTHING.
ARE YOU OK?
YEAH.
LISTEN, I'VE BEEN WANTING
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT, UH...
YOUR STATE OF MIND
EVER SINCE THE RAPE,
BUT I HAVEN'T HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY.
IS EVERYTHING OK WITH YOU?
YEAH. I'M OK.
IT'S NOT THAT.
I'M JUST GOING TO
MISS THIS LOUSY JOB.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
NO.
I MEAN, YOU'RE
GOING TO MISS THIS...
4 DAYS IN A MOTEL
BABY-SITTING SOME MANIAC?
COME ON. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
YEAH, I'M GOING TO MISS THIS.
I'M GOING TO MISS ALL OF IT.
CAN'T BE A COP FOREVER.
I MEAN, MY, UH...
BIOLOGICAL CLOCK
IS TICKING, YOU KNOW,
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO STOP
BEING A COP SO THAT I CAN
START HAVING CHILDREN.
JUST MAKES ME KIND OF SAD.
TO HAVE TO LEAVE
SOMETHING THAT I LIKE SO MUCH.
I'M GOING TO MISS IT.
I'M GOING TO MISS YOU, TOO.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO WITHOUT ME, HUH?
I DON'T KNOW,
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE
TO GIVE ANYTHING UP.
OH, YEAH, I DO.
BEING A COP IS HARDLY CONDUCIVE
TO HAVING CHILDREN
AND A HUSBAND.
YOU KNOW THAT.
I DO WANT A FAMILY.
IT'S SOMETHING I
HAVE TO HAVE ONE DAY.
AND HE WON'T BE A COP.
BOY, I TRIED THAT ONCE.
HIS DEATH WAS SO SENSELESS.
THAT'S JUST SOMETHING I... I...
I COULDN'T HANDLE AGAIN.
WHAT STEVE AND I HAD WAS...
OH, IT WAS SO GOOD!
IT WAS SO SPECIAL.
A SETUP.
YOU STAY WITH FABRO.
I'LL GO CHECK IT OUT.
AAH! AAH!
YOU CAN'T DO THAT
IN FRONT OF PEOPLE!
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
HEY, BUDDY, COOL DOWN. POLICE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN A HOTEL, HUH?
THIS IS A PERSONAL MATTER.
I DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING BY IT.
HEY, WHO ASKED YOU TO BUTT IN?
WE'RE JUST HAVING A
DOMESTIC SQUABBLE.
YOU SCREAMED FOR HELP, LADY.
YEAH, WELL, MAYBE I OVERREACTED.
AIN'T NO REASON FOR
YOU TO HASSLE US.
GUESS THAT MEANS YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO PRESS CHARGES.
WHAT CHARGES?
WE'LL GO RIGHT INTO OUR
ROOM, AND WE'LL BE REAL QUIET.
ALL RIGHT?
WHEN YOU NEED THEM,
THEY'RE NEVER THERE.
JUST REMEMBER WHO SAVED
YOUR SAUSAGE, SWEETCAKES.
AFTER YOU, BABY.
Man on telephone:
ALEXANDER HERE.
HI. IT'S McCALL. I JUST BROKE UP
A LITTLE 10-ROUNDER IN THE HALL
OVER HERE AT THE HOTEL.
WHERE WAS YOUR PARTNER, McCALL?
HE WAS BABY-SITTING.
I WANT YOU TO FIND OUT WHO IT IS
THAT'S REGISTERED IN ROOM 2624
AND GIVE IT BACK
TO ME A LITTLE LATER.
JUST FOR MY PEACE OF MIND. OK?
WE'LL CHECK IT OUT.
THANKS. WE'LL BE EN ROUTE.
Man on TV: OH, THERE YOU ARE.
THE USUAL CRAP.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
WHAT?
IT'S EMPTY.
YOU PROBABLY
KILLED IT LAST NIGHT.
OH, NO, MAN. IT WAS HALF FULL.
THEN THE MAID WAS
PRETTY THIRSTY.
THAT'S NOT FUNNY.
RAY, SIT DOWN, WILL YOU?
YEAH. ALL RIGHT.
YOU GOT THE SHAKES.
THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?
YOU'RE ALWAYS TALKING
ABOUT QUITTING DRINKING,
AND YOU NEVER DO. YOU
GOTTA GET SOME HELP.
I GOT TO GET A DRINK.
THE A.A. OR SOMETHING.
LOOK AT YOURSELF.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO SAY, MAN... I'M SICK?
ALL RIGHT, I'M SICK!
YOU GOT IT BAD.
YEAH, I KNOW. I'M
IN GREAT SHAPE.
ALL RIGHT, RAY.
YOU WANT A DRINK?
GO GET A DRINK.
I'LL COVER FOR YOU.
BUT THIS IS THE LAST
TIME, THE VERY LAST TIME.
THEN YOU GOT TO GET SOME HELP.
THANKS, MAN. REALLY.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
ALL RIGHT. THANKS.
Crusson: FABRO.
FABRO.
YEAH? WHAT'S GOING ON?
OH, NOTHING.
I WAS JUST CHECKING ON YOU.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
YEAH.
HAYWOOD JUST
WANTED TO SAY HELLO.
Longmeyer: YEAH?
WHAT?
IF THIS IS SOME KIND
OF JOKE, IT'S NOT FUNNY.
YEAH. WAIT A MINUTE.
FABRO! FABRO!
HE'S GONE.
I GUESS EVEN FABRO
HAD A CONSCIENCE.
HE JUMPED OUT?
EITHER THAT OR
HUNTER TOSSED HIM.
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
I'M BEING SUSPENDED
FROM DUTY WITHOUT PAY,
PENDING AN INVESTIGATION
FROM I.A. IS THIS CORRECT?
THAT'S RIGHT, HUNTER.
LIEUTENANT TERWILLIGER HAS
BEEN ASSIGNED TO LOOK INTO IT.
OH, BRING BACK MY
HEAD, HUH, BERNIE?
BELIEVE ME, I GOT NOTHING
AGAINST YOU PERSONALLY.
YEAH, RIGHT!
LOOK, YOU WERE ALONE WITH
THE GUY FOR 2 TO 3 MINUTES,
SO AN INVESTIGATION
IS OBLIGATORY.
NOW, ANYTHING ELSE?
YEAH, THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.
WHY AM I THE SCAPEGOAT HERE?
WHY HAVE I BEEN SINGLED
OUT FOR SUSPENSION?
BECAUSE YOU WERE THE ONLY
ONE ON DUTY ALONE WITH FABRO
LONG ENOUGH TO TOSS
HIM OUT THE WINDOW.
I'VE ALREADY GONE OVER THIS
WITH YOU GUYS ABOUT 10 TIMES.
I'LL DO IT ONE
MORE TIME FOR YOU.
I WAS STANDING IN THE
DOORWAY OF THE HALLWAY
WHILE McCALL DEALT
WITH THOSE TWO PEOPLE.
UNFORTUNATELY,
McCALL'S STATEMENT
DOESN'T CONFIRM THAT.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU BOOK ME
AND TAKE ME IN TO COUNTY JAIL?
BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT FABRO
TOOK THE JUMP ON HIS OWN,
BUT CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS
HAS ORDERED YOU SUSPENDED
WHILE AN INVESTIGATION
IS UNDER WAY.
GOOD. IN THE MEANTIME,
I SIT AROUND AND DO
NOTHING ABOUT IT. CORRECT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
STAY THE HELL OUT
OF IT UNTIL IT'S HISTORY.
AS OF NOW, YOU'RE SUSPENDED.
IF YOU PULL ANYTHING, I
WILL HAVE YOU ARRESTED.
YEAH.
YOU GUYS ARE NUTS.
I WANTED TO SAY I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT.
IF I COULD DO ANYTHING
TO CHANGE IT, I WOULD.
HEY, LISTEN, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO APOLOGIZE.
YOU NEEDED A
SHOULDER TO LEAN ON.
I'M JUST KIND OF FLATTERED
THAT YOU CHOSE MINE.
OH... NO, RICK, THAT'S
NOT WHAT I MEANT.
OH.
THAT WAS...
THAT WAS JUST
SOMETHING IN MY LIFE
I NEEDED TO TALK THROUGH,
AND I NEEDED TO DO IT
WITH SOMEBODY THAT I LIKED
AND I KNEW I COULD TRUST.
I MEANT ABOUT NOT
COVERING FOR YOU.
I SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT I SAW
YOU STANDING IN THE DOORWAY,
THAT I SAW YOU
THERE THE WHOLE TIME.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIE.
THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO LIE.
WOULD'VE SAVED YOU
FROM GETTING SUSPENDED.
COME ON. YOU TOLD THE TRUTH.
Hunter: HEY, RAYMOND.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WELL, NOT A WHOLE LOT.
HEY, CAN YOU GIVE ME A LIFT?
MY CAR CRAPPED OUT ON ME.
YEAH. OK.
SORRY ABOUT YOUR SHIELD
BEING PULLED, HUNTER.
IT'S A ROTTEN DEAL.
THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO BURN YOU
BECAUSE THEY LOST THE GUY.
IS THAT WHAT'S GOING ON, RAY?
NOBODY THINKS THAT YOU
HAD THING ONE TO DO WITH IT.
YEAH? WELL, WHO DID, THEN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SACK OF SCUM TOOK
A HEADER, DIDN'T HE?
OH, COME ON!
HE DIDN'T TAKE A HEADER.
THAT WAS NO SUICIDE.
HE WAS MURDERED,
AND YOU KNOW IT.
WHAT IS WITH YOU?
PULL OVER!
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
I WANT THE TRUTH.
THE CORONER SAYS
THE TIME OF DEATH
WAS 12 MIDNIGHT, PLUS OR
MINUS A COUPLE OF HOURS.
THAT MAKES IT JUST BEFORE
WE LEFT OR AFTER YOU CAME ON.
I DIDN'T DO IT, AND
NEITHER DID McCALL.
THAT LEAVES YOU AND CRUSSON.
HUNTER, I SWEAR, WE
NEVER TOUCHED FABRO.
IT WAS YOU OR CRUSSON!
HUNTER, YOU'RE CRAZY!
YEAH? DID YOU LEAVE
HIM ALONE THAT NIGHT?
NO.
NOT JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE?
WHILE YOU WENT OUTSIDE
TO GET YOURSELF A BOTTLE?
NO. NO.
YOU'RE A LIAR, YOU KNOW THAT?
YOU WENT OUT FOR
A BOTTLE, DIDN'T YOU?
AND I'M GOING TO PROVE IT.
YEAH?
Crusson: IT'S ME.
COME IN.
RAY, WHAT IS THIS?
SOME KIND OF JOKE?
I TALKED TO HUNTER.
HE DIDN'T DO IT.
SO?
SO WHAT'S THE GUN FOR?
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
ANYBODY FINDS OUT
I LEFT THAT ROOM,
THAT MAKES YOU A SUSPECT, TOO.
THE GUY TOOK A SWAN DIVE,
AND YOU'RE POINTING A GUN AT ME?
HUNTER KNOWS!
AND HE'S GOING TO PROVE IT.
HE'S GOING TO FIND
SOMEBODY THAT SEEN ME.
I WASN'T EXACTLY HIDING.
YEAH? WELL, WE
DON'T LET HIM DO THAT.
WE CAN'T LET HIM DO THAT, RAY.
THEY'LL BUST YOU.
THEY'LL TAKE YOUR PENSION.
WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
HOW MUCH DID YOU GET
PAID TO TOSS HIM, GARY?
HEY, YOU KNOCK IT OFF.
I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT HERE.
I'LL SWEAR YOU
NEVER LEFT THAT ROOM.
RAY!
COME ON, RAY.
COME ON.
LET'S HAVE A DRINK,
FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAVE
YOUR BUTT, ALL RIGHT?
WE GOT CASES COMING
OUT OF THE WOODWORK,
SO SEE IF YOU CAN
MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME.
YOU DON'T SEEM ALL
THAT APPRECIATIVE
OF BEING BACK ON DUTY, HUNTER.
APPRECIATIVE, BERNIE?
NO. YOU SEE, I ALWAYS
KNEW I DIDN'T DO IT.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT.
NOBODY'S HAPPY ABOUT THIS.
IT REFLECTS BADLY ON
THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT.
DON'T YOU GUYS THINK IT WAS
KIND OF NICE OF LONGMEYER
TO LEAVE A TYPEWRITTEN
CONFESSION BEFORE HE DROWNED?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NICE?
NO. YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
YEAH.
BUMMER ABOUT THE
RAIDERS, HUNTER.
PLUNKETT'S OUT.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
JUST FOUND $50,000 IN A TRUNK
UNDER LONGMEYER'S HOUSE.
OH, BULL! I'M NOT BUYING THAT.
I TALKED TO LONGMEYER
THE DAY HE DIED.
HE DIDN'T DO IT.
GET AWAY FROM ME, HUNTER!
I DON'T BELIEVE THE
STORY YOU STAGED.
HUNTER, YOU'RE LOSING IT!
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
YOU HEARD McCALL
MAKING THAT REPORT
WHEN WE SWITCHED WATCHES, RIGHT?
THAT'S WHEN YOU DECIDED
TO TAKE THE SENATOR
UP ON HIS OFFER.
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS WAIT FOR
YOUR ALCOHOLIC PARTNER
TO GET SOME BOOZE. HUH?
WRONG! I WENT OUT FOR THE BOOZE.
I ADMITTED IT. I'M
ON SUSPENSION.
AND LONGMEYER TOSSED
FABRO? GIVE ME A BREAK!
WHERE'D HE GET THE 50 GRAND,
OR DIDN'T YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT?
HE GOT IT FROM YOU.
TOSSING FABRO MUST HAVE
MADE YOU A WEALTHY MAN.
Hunter: I GUARANTEE YOU
THAT SCUZZBALL LEFT
A TRAIL SOMEWHERE.
LET'S JUST HIT EVERY
PLACE THAT SELLS LIQUOR
WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF THAT HOTEL.
WE DON'T NEED TO
CHECK EVERY ONE...
JUST THE ONES THAT
STAY OPEN AFTER MIDNIGHT.
FIND OUT ANYTHING?
NO.
THERE OUGHT TO BE SOME KIND
OF PHONE NUMBER YOU CAN CALL,
LIKE DIAL-A-SQUEAL OR
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?
HA HA HA!
LIGHTEN UP, HUNTER.
IT'S JUST A JOKE.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT'S NOT SUCH A BAD IDEA.
OK. THERE THEY ARE.
JUST DON'T SAY I
NEVER HELPED YOU.
I'D NEVER SAY THAT,
WILLIE. THANKS.
MANDY TOPAZ?
DID I WIN SOMETHING?
YEAH... ME. LET'S GO.
HAVE A SEAT.
THERE WE GO.
I UNDERSTAND YOU GOT CAUGHT
WITH A FISTFUL OF SOME
GUY'S CREDIT CARDS
AFTER YOU ROLLED HIM.
TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, YOU COULD USE
SOMEBODY ON YOUR SIDE.
LIKE WHO?
WELL, IT'S FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU
KNOW! DEE DEE McCALL.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO
STOP MEETING LIKE THIS.
WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND?
A MATINEE?
DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH.
BEEN DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
BE INTERESTED IN.
RESEARCH?
LOOKS LIKE THERE'S THIS HOOKER
WHO WORKS OUT OF
THE ST. CLAIRE A LOT.
HER NAME'S MANDY TOPAZ,
SHE SWEARS THERE WAS A
MAN WITH HER ON THE ELEVATOR
THE NIGHT FABRO
DECIDED TO GO SKYDIVING,
AND GUESS WHAT? LOOKED
JUST LIKE LONGMEYER.
IT WAS 2 A.M., HE
HAD A PAPER BAG,
AND HE GOT OFF
ON THE 26th FLOOR.
SHE KNOWS THAT BECAUSE
SHE WAS ON HER WAY
UP TO THE 27th FLOOR
FOR... FOR A DATE.
THAT'S REAL FASCINATING.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL
HUNTER? HE'D EAT IT UP.
TIME TO SHARE THE WEALTH, GARY.
YOU CUT ME IN FOR A
PIECE OF YOUR ACTION,
THE HOOKER STAYS JUST
BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
HUNTER WILL NEVER
HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
YOU THINK I JUST FELL
OFF THE CABBAGE TRUCK?
YOU LAY ALL THIS SQUAT ON ME...
AM I SUPPOSED TO PULL OUT
A PEN AND WRITE A CHECK?
WHERE'S THE WIRE?
GO AHEAD. TAKE A LOOK.
I'D LIKE A STRIP SEARCH.
YEAH. I KNOW YOU WOULD.
JUST REMEMBER SOMETHING.
WHEN YOU READ
THAT GIRL'S REPORT,
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, BUDDY.
RIGHT. NICE TRY.
GOOD-BYE, HUNTER,
WHEREVER YOU ARE!
Tape: GOOD-BYE, HUNTER,
WHEREVER YOU ARE!
WELL, IT WAS A GOOD TRY.
YEAH, IT WAS.
HEY, I WAS THERE.
HE DIDN'T GO FOR IT.
WELL, SURE HE DID.
CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO.
WHERE YOU FROM?
I'M, UH, FROM OUT OF TOWN.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU
NEED, JUST ASK FOR BOBBY.
OH, BOBBY?
UH...
CAN YOU GET ME A HOOKER?
WHAT KIND YOU LOOKING
FOR... BLONDE, REDHEAD, BLACK?
MY FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT
A GIRL NAMED MANDY TOPAZ.
MANDY TOPAZ...
YEAH. SAID SHE WAS
REALLY TERRIFIC.
SORRY. NEVER HEARD OF HER.
WELL, MAYBE,
BOBBY, IF YOU, UH...
COULD CHECK AROUND
WITH THE OTHER HOTELS.
HE WAS AT THE ST. CLAIRE.
YES, SIR.
IT'S OPEN.
SOMEBODY HERE GOT
A DATE WITH MANDY?
YES, I DO.
HOW ABOUT A DRINK, SWEETHEART?
WELL, BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE.
STRAIGHT SEX IS 50,
AND FOR 100, YOU CAN GET
ABOUT JUST ANYTHING YOU WANT.
YOU A POLICE OFFICER?
YOU ARE, AREN'T YOU?
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE I GOT
THIS BUILT-IN METAL DETECTOR,
AND IT GOES OFF
WHENEVER I SMELL COPPER.
VICE SCORES AGAIN.
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
NOW... KNOCK OFF A FREEBIE?
NAH.
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU
RECOGNIZE THIS MAN.
WHAT? AGAIN? COME ON!
I ALREADY WENT THROUGH
THIS WITH SOME LADY COP.
THAT'S THE GUY IN
THE HOTEL ST. CLAIRE.
RODE UP TO THE 26th WITH ME.
WHEN?
LAST WEDNESDAY...
ABOUT, UM, 1:30 OR
2:00 IN THE MORNING.
DID YOU TELL THIS TO
THE OTHER OFFICER?
YEAH, RIGHT.
HEY, WHAT'S THIS
ALL ABOUT, ANYWAY?
NEVER MIND. I DON'T
WANT TO KNOW.
HEY, LISTEN! I TOLD YOU
WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW!
I JUST GOT TO GET
OUT OF HERE, OK?
STOP! HELP! HELP!
HURRY! HELP!
WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS IT?!
NO! AAH! NOTHING!
STOP!
OH, MY GOD! DON'T LET GO!
I DID IT.
OH, GOD HELP ME! I'M FALLING.
I'M LOSING MY GRIP.
HE'S TOO HEAVY.
I DON'T THINK I CAN
HOLD ON MUCH LONGER.
HELP ME TIE THIS TO
THE BED. HURRY UP!
OH, MY GOD! I'M GOING TO DIE!
MY FINGERS ARE GETTING NUMB.
I CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER.
Crusson: GOD HELP
ME! I'M GOING TO DIE!
WHO PUSHED FABRO OUT THE WINDOW?
I DID IT! I DID IT!
WHO PAID YOU TO DO IT?
HAYWOOD. HE GAVE ME 500 GRAND.
DID YOU KILL RAY LONGMEYER?
YES. YES! YES!
I GOT IT!
SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT?
SAME OLD, SAME OLD.
DINNER AT THE WHITE
HOUSE, THEN THE OPERA.
WANT TO HAVE DINNER
WITH ME INSTEAD?
ONLY NO OPERA.
REALLY?
YEAH. CALL RONNIE AND
NANCY AND CANCEL OUT.
DINNER IT IS.
GREAT. SO WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE?
I DON'T KNOW. WHAT
DO YOU FEEL LIKE?
I FEEL LIKE...
EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA A LA HUNTER.
WAIT A MINUTE, NOW.
NO, NO, NO. YOU OWE
ME. IT'S PAY-UP TIME.
YOU'RE DOING SOME HEAVY
COOKING TONIGHT, BIG GUY.
GO TO THE MARKET, PICK
UP EVERYTHING YOU NEED,
AND WE'LL JUST SPLIT THE BILL.
WELL... PARMESAN
IS OUT OF SEASON.
PARMESAN IS NOT OUT OF...
YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT
SO YOU CAN BRING IN
YOUR MOTHER AGAIN.
NO WAY! UH-UH!
YOU ARE GOING TO DO
THE COOKING YOURSELF.
IT'S PAY-UP TIME,
OR IT'S SHUT-UP TIME.
GO GET A LITTLE WINE.
I'LL SIT BACK, RELAX,
PUT MY FEET UP,
WATCH YOU DO ALL THE COOKING.
IT'S A VERY LOW THING
YOU'RE DOING HERE.
YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?
FORCING ME INTO A CONFESSION.
YOU DON'T COOK, RIGHT?
YEAH. THAT'S
RIGHT. I DON'T COOK.
BUT I CAN BOIL TOAST.
GOOD-NIGHT, HUNTER,
WHEREVER YOU ARE.
KIND OF PHONE NUMBER
YOU CAN CALL,
LIKE DIAL-A-SQUEAL.
I'M A PROTECTED
WITNESS, REMEMBER?
WHY SHOULD I BE NICE
TO SCUM LIKE YOU?
UH!
I SUPPOSE YOU FOUND IT
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
TO SUBDUE A SUSPECT
WITH A CHOKE HOLD?
THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO LIE.
WOULD HAVE SAVED YOU
FROM GETTING SUSPENDED.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO
STOP MEETING LIKE THIS.
HUNTER WILL NEVER
HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
GOOD-BYE, HUNTER,
WHEREVER YOU ARE.
AAH!
IT'S NOT OVER TILL
THE FAT LADY SINGS.
WORKS FOR ME.
LET'S KISS THIS OFF.
BEEN SITTING THIS
STAKEOUT FOR 4 DAYS.
FABRO HASN'T EVEN
BEEN SEEN IN 6 MONTHS.
IT'S OBVIOUS HE'S
NOT GOING TO SHOW UP
TO HIS BROTHER'S RESTAURANT.
THESE ANONYMOUS TIPS STINK.
WHAT'S THE SCORE?
HMM. WHAT?
WHAT IS THE SCORE?
OH. NOW THE GOOD NEWS, MY DEAR.
RAIDERS DOWN BY 6.
BALL ON THEIR OWN 20.
30 SECONDS TO GO.
10 BUCKS, BIG GUY.
NOT OVER TILL THE FAT
LADY SINGS, DEE DEE.
IT IS OVER, HUNTER.
THE CLOCK JUST
HASN'T RUN OUT YET.
LOOK, EVEN IF THEY SCORE,
I STILL GOT A
3-POINT SPREAD. I WIN!
TOUCHDOWN, CONVERSION,
ONSIDES KICK RECOVERY,
AND A FIELD GOAL. I WIN.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
HEY, McCALL, COME HERE.
WHAT DO YOU GOT?
THE GUY IN THE PANAMA HAT
AND THE EXTRA 20 POUNDS.
DOES HE LOOK FAMILIAR?
NO. I CAN'T MAKE HIM.
20 POUNDS LIGHTER,
WITHOUT THE RED HAIR?
THAT'S FABRO. YOU SURE?
YEAH. I'D KNOW THAT SCUM.
HE'S PAYING HIS CHECK.
I'M GETTING OUT HERE.
LOOK OUT! HEY! MOVE IT! MOVE IT!
EVERYBODY DOWN! HE'S GOT A GUN!
HEY! HEY! HEY, THAT'S MY BIKE!
I WANT THAT VAN!
GIVE ME THAT VAN!
LOOK OUT, OLD TIMER!
FABRO!
UNH!
UNH! AAH!
Hunter: 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, AND 10 LOUSY DOLLARS FOR YOU.
YOU'RE VERY LUCKY THE
RAIDERS HAVE INJURIES.
AREN'T THEY PLAYING NEXT SUNDAY?
GREED DOES NOT
BECOME YOU, SERGEANT.
HUNTER AND McCALL.
AH. GREAT.
CHAVEZ, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING... PROPOSING MARRIAGE?
AHEM. YES, SIR.
GET IN HERE. CLOSE
THE DOOR AND SIT DOWN.
I SUPPOSE YOU FOUND IT
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
TO SUBDUE A SUSPECT
WITH A CHOKE HOLD
IN FRONT OF A
BUSLOAD OF TOURISTS.
YEAH, I DID.
THE GUY TOOK A
SHOT AT ME IN PUBLIC.
HE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEBODY.
JUST ADD IT TO THE REST
OF HIS CHARGES, CAPTAIN.
HE'S NOT GOING TO
FACE ANY CHARGES.
HE MADE A DEAL.
HE'S GOING TO STAY OUT OF JAIL
IF HE GIVES US WARREN HAYWOOD.
STATE SENATOR HAYWOOD?
YEAH.
BACK IN '77, A TWO-BIT PUNK
BY THE NAME OF MANNY WEISS
WAS GOING TO FINGER HAYWOOD
IN A JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
INVESTIGATION.
SEEMS HE MET WITH A
FATAL AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
THE DAY BEFORE THE HEARING.
FABRO IS GOING TO TESTIFY
THAT HAYWOOD
CONTRACTED HIM FOR THE JOB.
AND WHAT HAPPENS TO FABRO?
HE GETS A NEW I.D.,
TAKES A PERMANENT WALK ELSEWHERE
AT THE TAXPAYERS' EXPENSE.
WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM, HUH?
WHY NOT?
WHY NOT? THE GUY
SPENT HALF HIS LIFE
KILLING PEOPLE,
BREAKING ARMS AND LEGS.
THAT'S WHY NOT!
LISTEN, FABRO'S NOTHING.
HE'S A FLY.
I WANT THE GUY WHO HIRES HIM.
IT'S WORTH IT...
TO PUT HAYWOOD AWAY IS WORTH IT,
AND I WANT YOU
TWO TO BELIEVE THAT
BECAUSE YOU'RE
LOOKING AFTER FABRO
UNTIL WE GET HIM TO A GRAND JURY
AND GET HAYWOOD INDICTED.
HEY, WAIT JUST A SECOND!
LISTEN TO ME, AND LISTEN GOOD.
HAYWOOD CAN'T ALLOW
FABRO TO TESTIFY.
HE'LL DO ANYTHING
HE CAN TO STOP HIM.
IF HE FINDS HIM, HE'LL KILL HIM.
I'LL SQUIRREL HIM AWAY
LIKE HE'S THE CROWN JEWELS.
HE'LL BE GUARDED IN
TWO 12-HOUR SHIFTS.
5 PEOPLE WILL
KNOW WHERE HE IS...
YOU AND ME AND THE
OTHER TWO-MAN TEAM.
NOBODY IS TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
OR WHAT YOU'RE DOING THIS WEEK.
NOBODY.
HOW DO YOU RESPOND
TO THE GRAND JURY
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST
YOU, SENATOR?
NO COMMENT.
DO YOU KNOW GUSTAV FABRO? NO.
DO YOU FEEL THIS WILL AFFECT
YOUR CHANCES OF REELECTION?
I'LL BE UP FOR
REELECTION IN 3 YEARS.
ASK ME THEN.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE SENATOR
AT THIS TIME DOESN'T FEEL THAT...
BEING COOPED UP
IN THIS HOTEL ROOM
GUARDING MR. ARMPIT OF 1985...
I COULD REALLY LEARN
TO HATE THE CAPTAIN.
YOUR TURN.
IT'S BEEN MY TURN
THE LAST 3 TIMES.
GOT TO DO IT TILL
YOU GET IT RIGHT.
STEP BACK, FABRO.
I'LL TELL YOU WHEN
YOU CAN COME OUT.
HEY! I'M KNOCKING IN THERE!
HOW MANY TIMES I GOT
TO RUN THIS DOWN TO YOU?
YOU KNOCK ON THE
DOOR, YOU STEP BACK.
I TELL YOU WHEN TO
COME THROUGH THE DOOR,
AND UNFORTUNATELY,
YOU COME THROUGH IT.
I'M GOING CRAZY IN THERE. I
HAD TO TALK TO SOMEBODY.
YOU SEE ANYBODY IN HERE
WHO WANTS TO TALK TO YOU?
TRY SLEEPING.
I AIN'T SLEEPY.
TAKE A SLEEPING PILL.
TAKE THE WHOLE BOTTLE.
HOW ABOUT A TAPE MACHINE
AND SOME PORNO FLICKS?
BETTER YET, HOW ABOUT
A COUPLE OF HOOKERS?
THAT'D PUT ME TO
SLEEP. WHAT DO YOU SAY?
YOU KNOW SOME WHARFIES,
DON'T YOU, HUNTER?
I MEAN, I'M GETTING SO BAD OFF,
I COULD EVEN GO FOR
LITTLE SERGEANT-AT-ARMS.
HOW'S ABOUT IT, BABE?
YOU AND ME PARTY
WHILE HUNTER KEEPS...
Hunter: PARTY'S OVER.
GET IN THERE.
I AIN'T AFRAID OF YOU, HUNTER.
I'M A PROTECTED
WITNESS, REMEMBER?
YOU TAKE ANOTHER WHACK AT ME
AND YOU CAN KISS YOUR
ASS-PIRATIONS GOOD-BYE.
GET IN THERE.
UH. "GET IN THERE."
McCall: YES?
HOW DO YOU SPELL RELIEF?
WELL, HELLO.
AW! HUNTER.
HOW'S IT FEEL FOR A
HOT-DOG DICK LIKE YOU
TO BE PULLING GARBAGE DUTY?
I'LL BET YOU FORGOT
HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES.
I DON'T CALL WHAT YOU
DO LIVING, CRUSSON.
AW, BE NICE.
BE NICE TO YOU? WHY SHOULD I?
WHY SHOULD I BE NICE
TO SCUM LIKE YOU?
WHAT YOU GOT MIGHT BE CATCHING.
YOU GOT NO CALL TO BAD-MOUTH ME.
OH, REALLY? STEP ASIDE.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
BAD COP.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WELL, I.A. COULDN'T PIN
ANYTHING ON THE GUY,
BUT THE STREETS WERE
MIRACULOUSLY CLEANER
WHEN THEY PULLED
HIM OFF OF VICE.
I HATE HIS GUTS.
WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK
ABOUT THE GUY, THOUGH?
SEE YOU AT THE HOTEL.
YUP. ANOTHER EXCITING NIGHT.
WONDER WHAT PAULIE WANTS.
McCall: HI, PAULIE.
WORKING THE POLICE
STATION NOW, HUH?
JUST, YOU KNOW,
TRYING TO GET BY.
YEAH, RIGHT.
I... I GOT SOMETHING COULD
REALLY HELP YOU GUYS.
THIS OUGHT TO BE GOOD.
THERE'S MONEY ON THE STREETS...
HEAVY MONEY, LOOKING
FOR INFORMATION,
WHERE YOU GUYS GOT
THAT FABRO DUDE STASHED.
YOU KNOW, THE ONE
FOR THE GRAND JURY?
FABRO?
I DON'T KNOW. I SAW
HIS NAME ON A REPORT.
SORRY, PAULIE. CAN'T HELP YOU.
HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!
YOU MEAN I DON'T
GET NOTHING FOR THIS?
EXTRA MUSHROOM PIZZA?
THAT'S US. WHAT DO WE OWE YOU?
$16.75.
HERE, KEEP IT.
THANKS A LOT. THANK YOU.
STEP BACK, FABRO.
I'M BACK.
GET UP.
FOOD? IT'S ABOUT TIME.
WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE FRIED CHICKEN?
WE DON'T HAVE FRIED CHICKEN.
WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE IS
RUSSIAN ROULETTE PIZZA.
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
MUSHROOM PIZZA, BUT
ONE SLICE HAS TOADSTOOLS.
2,000 COMEDIANS OUT
OF WORK IN THIS TOWN
AND YOU'RE TRYING TO BE FUNNY?
IF I WANT PIZZA, I'LL
ORDER PIZZA. YOU GOT IT?
NO, YOU WON'T.
WE ORDER PIZZA, YOU EAT PIZZA!
IN THERE! NOW MOVE!
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
HERE. FINISH THAT.
NO, NO. YOU HAVE
IT. I'M TOO FULL.
ME, TOO.
I'LL SAVE IT FOR FABRO.
YEAH. HE COULD USE A FEW POUNDS.
DID I EVER TELL YOU
THAT I COOK A MEAN
EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA?
WHAT YOU DO MEAN...
YOU COOK? SINCE WHEN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SINCE WHEN?
MY MOM'S THE BEST COOK
IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.
I LEARNED EVERYTHING
I KNOW ABOUT COOKING
FROM MY MOTHER.
YOU'RE KIDDING!
NO, I'M NOT KIDDING.
YOU SEE, WE USED TO HAVE
THESE FAMILY GET-TOGETHERS
DOWN IN SAN PEDRO, ON
THE PENINSULA DOWN THERE...
NEAR THE OCEAN? AND
ALL OF OUR RELATIVES,
ALL THE NEIGHBOR FAMILIES
WOULD GET TOGETHER,
EVERY FAMILY WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING A DISH,
AND WE WOULD SIT THERE
AND FEED OUR FACES
LIKE YOU CANNOT BELIEVE.
SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS NICE.
IT WAS. WE'D SIT BACK AND RELAX.
WE'D STUFF OUR FACES.
BOY, IT WAS GREAT.
IS THAT HOW YOU GOT SO BIG?
YES, IT IS.
EVERYBODY IN MY FAMILY IS BIG.
HEY, WHAT'S ON TV
TOMORROW NIGHT?
DON'T KNOW. SAME
THING AS TONIGHT.
JOHNNY CARSON
AGAIN, BUT IT'S A REPEAT.
HEY, THERE'S A
GENE KELLY MOVIE ON!
GOOD. I LOVE MUSICALS.
OK, GOOD. TOMORROW NIGHT,
WE'LL WATCH GENE
KELLY, ME AND YOU,
AND I'LL COOK SOMETHING
FOR US, A LA HUNTER.
YOU'RE GOING TO COOK?
YES.
GOOD. FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING
TO LOOK FORWARD TO HERE.
YES, YOU WILL.
CRUSSON!
YOU ROGAN?
THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU'LL WANT TO BE
SURE I'M NOT WIRED,
SO TAKE A LOOK IF YOU LIKE.
MAYBE YOU BETTER
CHECK ME FOR A WIRE.
I DON'T NEED TO.
WE GOT THE SAME
KIND OF FRIENDS...
JAKE RUSKIN AND
HIS COUSIN ARNIE.
THEY GOT NOTHING BUT GOOD
THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU.
THEY WERE REAL SORRY
WHEN YOU LEFT VICE.
NEVER HEARD OF THEM.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
YOU KNOW WHY JAKE
AND ARNIE LIKE YOU?
BECAUSE THE LAST TIME
THEY DID BUSINESS WITH YOU
AND IT WENT BAD, THROUGH
NO FAULT OF YOURS,
YOU KEPT YOUR COOL,
AND YOU DIDN'T RAT.
AND YOU GOT THE WRONG GUY.
WE CONSIDERED
LONGMEYER, BUT HE'S A DRUNK.
HE'S UNRELIABLE.
HUNTER'S A FANATIC.
McCALL'S A WOMAN.
SHE CAN'T DO IT.
WE EVEN KNOW THE HOTEL.
FABRO'S STASHED AWAY
IN THE HOTEL ST. CLAIRE.
I HATE TO TELL YOU HOW
MUCH MONEY THAT COST.
YOU KNOW WHERE FABRO IS,
WHAT DO YOU NEED ME FOR?
SURE, WE COULD FIRE
A GRENADE THROUGH
THE WINDOW OF ROOM
2610 AND BLOW FABRO AWAY,
BUT THAT'S OUT.
MY CLIENT WOULD BE IN JUST
A DIFFERENT KIND OF TROUBLE.
NO. WE NEED YOU.
YOU'RE DEPENDABLE. YOU'RE SMART.
WE WANT FABRO TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
I DON'T CARE HOW YOU
HANDLE YOUR PARTNER,
BUT IT'S GOT TO LOOK LIKE
FABRO GOT DESPONDENT
AND TOOK A LEAP.
HOW MUCH ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
100,000 UP-FRONT MONEY.
GOOD FAITH.
ANOTHER 200,000
IF YOU BRING IT IN.
IF IT STANDS UP,
ANOTHER 200 AS A BONUS...
LET'S SAY, FOR YOUR
CONTINUED GOODWILL.
NOW, IF WE'RE IN BUSINESS,
YOU TAKE IT... NOW.
WHAT IF I CUT IN LONGMEYER?
WE DON'T ADVISE THAT.
HE'S A DRUNK. HE'S UNRELIABLE.
YOU SHOULDN'T GET HIM INVOLVED.
BE BAD FOR ALL OF US.
HERE WE GO.
NICE AMBIANCE, YES?
THIS IS REALLY NICE.
LET'S CHECK THIS OUT.
THIS IS GOOD!
MM-HMM.
THIS IS REALLY
GOOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE
I'VE KNOWN YOU ALL THIS TIME,
YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS.
DID... DID YOU REALLY COOK THIS?
COME ON.
HAVE SOME FAITH IN ME, WILL YOU?
IT'S GREAT!
CHEFS DON'T ANSWER DOORS.
YOU'VE EARNED IT.
Fabro: HEY!
STEP BACK, FABRO.
Fabro: I'M BACK.
TA-DA!
YEAH!
HUH? HA HA HA!
HA HA HA HA!
OH, BOY, IS THAT FUNNY, FAB.
THAT'S VERY FUNNY.
YEAH. HA HA!
OH, NO! NO!
HA HA HA!
Woman on telephone: HELLO?
Hunter: HI, MOM. IT'S ME.
RICKY! HOW DID IT GO?
IT WENT FANTASTIC.
IT REALLY DID.
SHE LOVED IT.
I KNEW SHE WAS A GOOD GIRL.
YEAH. SHE SURE IS. LOOK,
MOM, FOR TOMORROW,
I WANT YOU TO MAKE
ME A NEAPOLITAN PIZZA.
CAN YOU DO THAT FOR ME?
LEAVE OFF THE PEPPERONI VERDI?
IS THAT ALL RIGHT?
FOR YOU, RICK, NO PEPPERONI.
SAME TIME TOMORROW?
YEAH. SAME TIME
TOMORROW MORNING, MOM.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
I'LL TALK TO YOU TOMORROW.
DON'T KID ME, RICK.
YOU LOVE MY COOKING.
WELL, THAT'S TRUE, TOO.
BUT I LOVE YOU, TOO. THANKS.
BYE.
BUSTED.
NOW, LOOK, I CAN
EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU.
HA HA HA!
WHEN WERE YOU
GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS...
AFTER THE PIZZA CAME?
LOOK, FIRST OF ALL, I
CAN COOK. BELIEVE ME.
NUMBER TWO IS, WE'VE BEEN
IN THIS DUMP FOR 3 OR 4 DAYS.
I JUST WANTED THINGS
TO BE PERFECT FOR YOU.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
YOU STILL OWE ME A MEAL.
YES.
COOKED BY YOU. YES.
YOU, NOT YOUR MOM. NO.
YOU GOT IT.
IT'S THE NITWITS. I'LL GET IT.
RISE AND SHINE, SLEEPING BEAUTY.
WELL, YOU TWO GOT IT MADE...
GETTING PAID TO PLAY HOUSE.
WE DIDN'T INTERRUPT
ANYTHING, DID WE?
IT TOOK YOU SO LONG
TO ANSWER THE DOOR,
I SAID TO RAY MAYBE
WE BETTER COME BACK
IN A COUPLE HOURS.
CRUSSON, I DON'T LIKE YOU
OR YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR,
SO WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP?
HEY, LIGHTEN UP, MAN.
GARY DIDN'T MEAN NOTHING BY IT.
HE WAS JUST JOKING AROUND.
NO, HE WASN'T.
WERE YOU?
TOUCHY, HUNTER.
VERY TOUCHY!
RAY?
RAY?
RAY.
Hunter: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
McCall: NOTHING.
ARE YOU OK?
YEAH.
LISTEN, I'VE BEEN WANTING
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT, UH...
YOUR STATE OF MIND
EVER SINCE THE RAPE,
BUT I HAVEN'T HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY.
IS EVERYTHING OK WITH YOU?
YEAH. I'M OK.
IT'S NOT THAT.
I'M JUST GOING TO
MISS THIS LOUSY JOB.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
NO.
I MEAN, YOU'RE
GOING TO MISS THIS...
4 DAYS IN A MOTEL
BABY-SITTING SOME MANIAC?
COME ON. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
YEAH, I'M GOING TO MISS THIS.
I'M GOING TO MISS ALL OF IT.
CAN'T BE A COP FOREVER.
I MEAN, MY, UH...
BIOLOGICAL CLOCK
IS TICKING, YOU KNOW,
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO STOP
BEING A COP SO THAT I CAN
START HAVING CHILDREN.
JUST MAKES ME KIND OF SAD.
TO HAVE TO LEAVE
SOMETHING THAT I LIKE SO MUCH.
I'M GOING TO MISS IT.
I'M GOING TO MISS YOU, TOO.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO WITHOUT ME, HUH?
I DON'T KNOW,
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE
TO GIVE ANYTHING UP.
OH, YEAH, I DO.
BEING A COP IS HARDLY CONDUCIVE
TO HAVING CHILDREN
AND A HUSBAND.
YOU KNOW THAT.
I DO WANT A FAMILY.
IT'S SOMETHING I
HAVE TO HAVE ONE DAY.
AND HE WON'T BE A COP.
BOY, I TRIED THAT ONCE.
HIS DEATH WAS SO SENSELESS.
THAT'S JUST SOMETHING I... I...
I COULDN'T HANDLE AGAIN.
WHAT STEVE AND I HAD WAS...
OH, IT WAS SO GOOD!
IT WAS SO SPECIAL.
A SETUP.
YOU STAY WITH FABRO.
I'LL GO CHECK IT OUT.
AAH! AAH!
YOU CAN'T DO THAT
IN FRONT OF PEOPLE!
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
HEY, BUDDY, COOL DOWN. POLICE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN A HOTEL, HUH?
THIS IS A PERSONAL MATTER.
I DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING BY IT.
HEY, WHO ASKED YOU TO BUTT IN?
WE'RE JUST HAVING A
DOMESTIC SQUABBLE.
YOU SCREAMED FOR HELP, LADY.
YEAH, WELL, MAYBE I OVERREACTED.
AIN'T NO REASON FOR
YOU TO HASSLE US.
GUESS THAT MEANS YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO PRESS CHARGES.
WHAT CHARGES?
WE'LL GO RIGHT INTO OUR
ROOM, AND WE'LL BE REAL QUIET.
ALL RIGHT?
WHEN YOU NEED THEM,
THEY'RE NEVER THERE.
JUST REMEMBER WHO SAVED
YOUR SAUSAGE, SWEETCAKES.
AFTER YOU, BABY.
Man on telephone:
ALEXANDER HERE.
HI. IT'S McCALL. I JUST BROKE UP
A LITTLE 10-ROUNDER IN THE HALL
OVER HERE AT THE HOTEL.
WHERE WAS YOUR PARTNER, McCALL?
HE WAS BABY-SITTING.
I WANT YOU TO FIND OUT WHO IT IS
THAT'S REGISTERED IN ROOM 2624
AND GIVE IT BACK
TO ME A LITTLE LATER.
JUST FOR MY PEACE OF MIND. OK?
WE'LL CHECK IT OUT.
THANKS. WE'LL BE EN ROUTE.
Man on TV: OH, THERE YOU ARE.
THE USUAL CRAP.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
WHAT?
IT'S EMPTY.
YOU PROBABLY
KILLED IT LAST NIGHT.
OH, NO, MAN. IT WAS HALF FULL.
THEN THE MAID WAS
PRETTY THIRSTY.
THAT'S NOT FUNNY.
RAY, SIT DOWN, WILL YOU?
YEAH. ALL RIGHT.
YOU GOT THE SHAKES.
THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?
YOU'RE ALWAYS TALKING
ABOUT QUITTING DRINKING,
AND YOU NEVER DO. YOU
GOTTA GET SOME HELP.
I GOT TO GET A DRINK.
THE A.A. OR SOMETHING.
LOOK AT YOURSELF.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO SAY, MAN... I'M SICK?
ALL RIGHT, I'M SICK!
YOU GOT IT BAD.
YEAH, I KNOW. I'M
IN GREAT SHAPE.
ALL RIGHT, RAY.
YOU WANT A DRINK?
GO GET A DRINK.
I'LL COVER FOR YOU.
BUT THIS IS THE LAST
TIME, THE VERY LAST TIME.
THEN YOU GOT TO GET SOME HELP.
THANKS, MAN. REALLY.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
ALL RIGHT. THANKS.
Crusson: FABRO.
FABRO.
YEAH? WHAT'S GOING ON?
OH, NOTHING.
I WAS JUST CHECKING ON YOU.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
YEAH.
HAYWOOD JUST
WANTED TO SAY HELLO.
Longmeyer: YEAH?
WHAT?
IF THIS IS SOME KIND
OF JOKE, IT'S NOT FUNNY.
YEAH. WAIT A MINUTE.
FABRO! FABRO!
HE'S GONE.
I GUESS EVEN FABRO
HAD A CONSCIENCE.
HE JUMPED OUT?
EITHER THAT OR
HUNTER TOSSED HIM.
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
I'M BEING SUSPENDED
FROM DUTY WITHOUT PAY,
PENDING AN INVESTIGATION
FROM I.A. IS THIS CORRECT?
THAT'S RIGHT, HUNTER.
LIEUTENANT TERWILLIGER HAS
BEEN ASSIGNED TO LOOK INTO IT.
OH, BRING BACK MY
HEAD, HUH, BERNIE?
BELIEVE ME, I GOT NOTHING
AGAINST YOU PERSONALLY.
YEAH, RIGHT!
LOOK, YOU WERE ALONE WITH
THE GUY FOR 2 TO 3 MINUTES,
SO AN INVESTIGATION
IS OBLIGATORY.
NOW, ANYTHING ELSE?
YEAH, THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.
WHY AM I THE SCAPEGOAT HERE?
WHY HAVE I BEEN SINGLED
OUT FOR SUSPENSION?
BECAUSE YOU WERE THE ONLY
ONE ON DUTY ALONE WITH FABRO
LONG ENOUGH TO TOSS
HIM OUT THE WINDOW.
I'VE ALREADY GONE OVER THIS
WITH YOU GUYS ABOUT 10 TIMES.
I'LL DO IT ONE
MORE TIME FOR YOU.
I WAS STANDING IN THE
DOORWAY OF THE HALLWAY
WHILE McCALL DEALT
WITH THOSE TWO PEOPLE.
UNFORTUNATELY,
McCALL'S STATEMENT
DOESN'T CONFIRM THAT.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU BOOK ME
AND TAKE ME IN TO COUNTY JAIL?
BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT FABRO
TOOK THE JUMP ON HIS OWN,
BUT CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS
HAS ORDERED YOU SUSPENDED
WHILE AN INVESTIGATION
IS UNDER WAY.
GOOD. IN THE MEANTIME,
I SIT AROUND AND DO
NOTHING ABOUT IT. CORRECT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
STAY THE HELL OUT
OF IT UNTIL IT'S HISTORY.
AS OF NOW, YOU'RE SUSPENDED.
IF YOU PULL ANYTHING, I
WILL HAVE YOU ARRESTED.
YEAH.
YOU GUYS ARE NUTS.
I WANTED TO SAY I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT.
IF I COULD DO ANYTHING
TO CHANGE IT, I WOULD.
HEY, LISTEN, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO APOLOGIZE.
YOU NEEDED A
SHOULDER TO LEAN ON.
I'M JUST KIND OF FLATTERED
THAT YOU CHOSE MINE.
OH... NO, RICK, THAT'S
NOT WHAT I MEANT.
OH.
THAT WAS...
THAT WAS JUST
SOMETHING IN MY LIFE
I NEEDED TO TALK THROUGH,
AND I NEEDED TO DO IT
WITH SOMEBODY THAT I LIKED
AND I KNEW I COULD TRUST.
I MEANT ABOUT NOT
COVERING FOR YOU.
I SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT I SAW
YOU STANDING IN THE DOORWAY,
THAT I SAW YOU
THERE THE WHOLE TIME.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIE.
THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO LIE.
WOULD'VE SAVED YOU
FROM GETTING SUSPENDED.
COME ON. YOU TOLD THE TRUTH.
Hunter: HEY, RAYMOND.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WELL, NOT A WHOLE LOT.
HEY, CAN YOU GIVE ME A LIFT?
MY CAR CRAPPED OUT ON ME.
YEAH. OK.
SORRY ABOUT YOUR SHIELD
BEING PULLED, HUNTER.
IT'S A ROTTEN DEAL.
THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO BURN YOU
BECAUSE THEY LOST THE GUY.
IS THAT WHAT'S GOING ON, RAY?
NOBODY THINKS THAT YOU
HAD THING ONE TO DO WITH IT.
YEAH? WELL, WHO DID, THEN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SACK OF SCUM TOOK
A HEADER, DIDN'T HE?
OH, COME ON!
HE DIDN'T TAKE A HEADER.
THAT WAS NO SUICIDE.
HE WAS MURDERED,
AND YOU KNOW IT.
WHAT IS WITH YOU?
PULL OVER!
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
I WANT THE TRUTH.
THE CORONER SAYS
THE TIME OF DEATH
WAS 12 MIDNIGHT, PLUS OR
MINUS A COUPLE OF HOURS.
THAT MAKES IT JUST BEFORE
WE LEFT OR AFTER YOU CAME ON.
I DIDN'T DO IT, AND
NEITHER DID McCALL.
THAT LEAVES YOU AND CRUSSON.
HUNTER, I SWEAR, WE
NEVER TOUCHED FABRO.
IT WAS YOU OR CRUSSON!
HUNTER, YOU'RE CRAZY!
YEAH? DID YOU LEAVE
HIM ALONE THAT NIGHT?
NO.
NOT JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE?
WHILE YOU WENT OUTSIDE
TO GET YOURSELF A BOTTLE?
NO. NO.
YOU'RE A LIAR, YOU KNOW THAT?
YOU WENT OUT FOR
A BOTTLE, DIDN'T YOU?
AND I'M GOING TO PROVE IT.
YEAH?
Crusson: IT'S ME.
COME IN.
RAY, WHAT IS THIS?
SOME KIND OF JOKE?
I TALKED TO HUNTER.
HE DIDN'T DO IT.
SO?
SO WHAT'S THE GUN FOR?
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
ANYBODY FINDS OUT
I LEFT THAT ROOM,
THAT MAKES YOU A SUSPECT, TOO.
THE GUY TOOK A SWAN DIVE,
AND YOU'RE POINTING A GUN AT ME?
HUNTER KNOWS!
AND HE'S GOING TO PROVE IT.
HE'S GOING TO FIND
SOMEBODY THAT SEEN ME.
I WASN'T EXACTLY HIDING.
YEAH? WELL, WE
DON'T LET HIM DO THAT.
WE CAN'T LET HIM DO THAT, RAY.
THEY'LL BUST YOU.
THEY'LL TAKE YOUR PENSION.
WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
HOW MUCH DID YOU GET
PAID TO TOSS HIM, GARY?
HEY, YOU KNOCK IT OFF.
I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT HERE.
I'LL SWEAR YOU
NEVER LEFT THAT ROOM.
RAY!
COME ON, RAY.
COME ON.
LET'S HAVE A DRINK,
FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAVE
YOUR BUTT, ALL RIGHT?
WE GOT CASES COMING
OUT OF THE WOODWORK,
SO SEE IF YOU CAN
MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME.
YOU DON'T SEEM ALL
THAT APPRECIATIVE
OF BEING BACK ON DUTY, HUNTER.
APPRECIATIVE, BERNIE?
NO. YOU SEE, I ALWAYS
KNEW I DIDN'T DO IT.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT.
NOBODY'S HAPPY ABOUT THIS.
IT REFLECTS BADLY ON
THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT.
DON'T YOU GUYS THINK IT WAS
KIND OF NICE OF LONGMEYER
TO LEAVE A TYPEWRITTEN
CONFESSION BEFORE HE DROWNED?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NICE?
NO. YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
YEAH.
BUMMER ABOUT THE
RAIDERS, HUNTER.
PLUNKETT'S OUT.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
JUST FOUND $50,000 IN A TRUNK
UNDER LONGMEYER'S HOUSE.
OH, BULL! I'M NOT BUYING THAT.
I TALKED TO LONGMEYER
THE DAY HE DIED.
HE DIDN'T DO IT.
GET AWAY FROM ME, HUNTER!
I DON'T BELIEVE THE
STORY YOU STAGED.
HUNTER, YOU'RE LOSING IT!
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
YOU HEARD McCALL
MAKING THAT REPORT
WHEN WE SWITCHED WATCHES, RIGHT?
THAT'S WHEN YOU DECIDED
TO TAKE THE SENATOR
UP ON HIS OFFER.
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS WAIT FOR
YOUR ALCOHOLIC PARTNER
TO GET SOME BOOZE. HUH?
WRONG! I WENT OUT FOR THE BOOZE.
I ADMITTED IT. I'M
ON SUSPENSION.
AND LONGMEYER TOSSED
FABRO? GIVE ME A BREAK!
WHERE'D HE GET THE 50 GRAND,
OR DIDN'T YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT?
HE GOT IT FROM YOU.
TOSSING FABRO MUST HAVE
MADE YOU A WEALTHY MAN.
Hunter: I GUARANTEE YOU
THAT SCUZZBALL LEFT
A TRAIL SOMEWHERE.
LET'S JUST HIT EVERY
PLACE THAT SELLS LIQUOR
WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF THAT HOTEL.
WE DON'T NEED TO
CHECK EVERY ONE...
JUST THE ONES THAT
STAY OPEN AFTER MIDNIGHT.
FIND OUT ANYTHING?
NO.
THERE OUGHT TO BE SOME KIND
OF PHONE NUMBER YOU CAN CALL,
LIKE DIAL-A-SQUEAL OR
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?
HA HA HA!
LIGHTEN UP, HUNTER.
IT'S JUST A JOKE.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT'S NOT SUCH A BAD IDEA.
OK. THERE THEY ARE.
JUST DON'T SAY I
NEVER HELPED YOU.
I'D NEVER SAY THAT,
WILLIE. THANKS.
MANDY TOPAZ?
DID I WIN SOMETHING?
YEAH... ME. LET'S GO.
HAVE A SEAT.
THERE WE GO.
I UNDERSTAND YOU GOT CAUGHT
WITH A FISTFUL OF SOME
GUY'S CREDIT CARDS
AFTER YOU ROLLED HIM.
TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, YOU COULD USE
SOMEBODY ON YOUR SIDE.
LIKE WHO?
WELL, IT'S FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU
KNOW! DEE DEE McCALL.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO
STOP MEETING LIKE THIS.
WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND?
A MATINEE?
DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH.
BEEN DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
BE INTERESTED IN.
RESEARCH?
LOOKS LIKE THERE'S THIS HOOKER
WHO WORKS OUT OF
THE ST. CLAIRE A LOT.
HER NAME'S MANDY TOPAZ,
SHE SWEARS THERE WAS A
MAN WITH HER ON THE ELEVATOR
THE NIGHT FABRO
DECIDED TO GO SKYDIVING,
AND GUESS WHAT? LOOKED
JUST LIKE LONGMEYER.
IT WAS 2 A.M., HE
HAD A PAPER BAG,
AND HE GOT OFF
ON THE 26th FLOOR.
SHE KNOWS THAT BECAUSE
SHE WAS ON HER WAY
UP TO THE 27th FLOOR
FOR... FOR A DATE.
THAT'S REAL FASCINATING.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL
HUNTER? HE'D EAT IT UP.
TIME TO SHARE THE WEALTH, GARY.
YOU CUT ME IN FOR A
PIECE OF YOUR ACTION,
THE HOOKER STAYS JUST
BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
HUNTER WILL NEVER
HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
YOU THINK I JUST FELL
OFF THE CABBAGE TRUCK?
YOU LAY ALL THIS SQUAT ON ME...
AM I SUPPOSED TO PULL OUT
A PEN AND WRITE A CHECK?
WHERE'S THE WIRE?
GO AHEAD. TAKE A LOOK.
I'D LIKE A STRIP SEARCH.
YEAH. I KNOW YOU WOULD.
JUST REMEMBER SOMETHING.
WHEN YOU READ
THAT GIRL'S REPORT,
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, BUDDY.
RIGHT. NICE TRY.
GOOD-BYE, HUNTER,
WHEREVER YOU ARE!
Tape: GOOD-BYE, HUNTER,
WHEREVER YOU ARE!
WELL, IT WAS A GOOD TRY.
YEAH, IT WAS.
HEY, I WAS THERE.
HE DIDN'T GO FOR IT.
WELL, SURE HE DID.
CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO.
WHERE YOU FROM?
I'M, UH, FROM OUT OF TOWN.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU
NEED, JUST ASK FOR BOBBY.
OH, BOBBY?
UH...
CAN YOU GET ME A HOOKER?
WHAT KIND YOU LOOKING
FOR... BLONDE, REDHEAD, BLACK?
MY FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT
A GIRL NAMED MANDY TOPAZ.
MANDY TOPAZ...
YEAH. SAID SHE WAS
REALLY TERRIFIC.
SORRY. NEVER HEARD OF HER.
WELL, MAYBE,
BOBBY, IF YOU, UH...
COULD CHECK AROUND
WITH THE OTHER HOTELS.
HE WAS AT THE ST. CLAIRE.
YES, SIR.
IT'S OPEN.
SOMEBODY HERE GOT
A DATE WITH MANDY?
YES, I DO.
HOW ABOUT A DRINK, SWEETHEART?
WELL, BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE.
STRAIGHT SEX IS 50,
AND FOR 100, YOU CAN GET
ABOUT JUST ANYTHING YOU WANT.
YOU A POLICE OFFICER?
YOU ARE, AREN'T YOU?
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE I GOT
THIS BUILT-IN METAL DETECTOR,
AND IT GOES OFF
WHENEVER I SMELL COPPER.
VICE SCORES AGAIN.
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
NOW... KNOCK OFF A FREEBIE?
NAH.
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU
RECOGNIZE THIS MAN.
WHAT? AGAIN? COME ON!
I ALREADY WENT THROUGH
THIS WITH SOME LADY COP.
THAT'S THE GUY IN
THE HOTEL ST. CLAIRE.
RODE UP TO THE 26th WITH ME.
WHEN?
LAST WEDNESDAY...
ABOUT, UM, 1:30 OR
2:00 IN THE MORNING.
DID YOU TELL THIS TO
THE OTHER OFFICER?
YEAH, RIGHT.
HEY, WHAT'S THIS
ALL ABOUT, ANYWAY?
NEVER MIND. I DON'T
WANT TO KNOW.
HEY, LISTEN! I TOLD YOU
WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW!
I JUST GOT TO GET
OUT OF HERE, OK?
STOP! HELP! HELP!
HURRY! HELP!
WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS IT?!
NO! AAH! NOTHING!
STOP!
OH, MY GOD! DON'T LET GO!
I DID IT.
OH, GOD HELP ME! I'M FALLING.
I'M LOSING MY GRIP.
HE'S TOO HEAVY.
I DON'T THINK I CAN
HOLD ON MUCH LONGER.
HELP ME TIE THIS TO
THE BED. HURRY UP!
OH, MY GOD! I'M GOING TO DIE!
MY FINGERS ARE GETTING NUMB.
I CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER.
Crusson: GOD HELP
ME! I'M GOING TO DIE!
WHO PUSHED FABRO OUT THE WINDOW?
I DID IT! I DID IT!
WHO PAID YOU TO DO IT?
HAYWOOD. HE GAVE ME 500 GRAND.
DID YOU KILL RAY LONGMEYER?
YES. YES! YES!
I GOT IT!
SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT?
SAME OLD, SAME OLD.
DINNER AT THE WHITE
HOUSE, THEN THE OPERA.
WANT TO HAVE DINNER
WITH ME INSTEAD?
ONLY NO OPERA.
REALLY?
YEAH. CALL RONNIE AND
NANCY AND CANCEL OUT.
DINNER IT IS.
GREAT. SO WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE?
I DON'T KNOW. WHAT
DO YOU FEEL LIKE?
I FEEL LIKE...
EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA A LA HUNTER.
WAIT A MINUTE, NOW.
NO, NO, NO. YOU OWE
ME. IT'S PAY-UP TIME.
YOU'RE DOING SOME HEAVY
COOKING TONIGHT, BIG GUY.
GO TO THE MARKET, PICK
UP EVERYTHING YOU NEED,
AND WE'LL JUST SPLIT THE BILL.
WELL... PARMESAN
IS OUT OF SEASON.
PARMESAN IS NOT OUT OF...
YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT
SO YOU CAN BRING IN
YOUR MOTHER AGAIN.
NO WAY! UH-UH!
YOU ARE GOING TO DO
THE COOKING YOURSELF.
IT'S PAY-UP TIME,
OR IT'S SHUT-UP TIME.
GO GET A LITTLE WINE.
I'LL SIT BACK, RELAX,
PUT MY FEET UP,
WATCH YOU DO ALL THE COOKING.
IT'S A VERY LOW THING
YOU'RE DOING HERE.
YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?
FORCING ME INTO A CONFESSION.
YOU DON'T COOK, RIGHT?
YEAH. THAT'S
RIGHT. I DON'T COOK.
BUT I CAN BOIL TOAST.
GOOD-NIGHT, HUNTER,
WHEREVER YOU ARE.
