Hunter (1984–1991): Season 3, Episode 21 - Hot Pursuit: Part 2 - full transcript
As McCall is taken to surgery to have the bullet taken out of her spine, Hunter goes to meet Big Jack Hemmings, who he suspects tried to have McCall murdered. Minutes after Hunter drives away from Hemmings' mansion, he is arrested...
I THINK SHE HIT THE GROUND
GOING ABOUT 90 MILES AN HOUR.
YEAH, BUT SHE WAS
DEAD BEFORE THAT.
SHOT IN THE HEAD.
THAT ONE.
SHUT THE WHOLE THING DOWN!
WHAT ARE HER CHANCES?
SHE'S INTO THE GROUND,
SPORTY. SHE'S DEAD.
ARE YOU HAPPY? HUH?
I MEAN, ASK YOURSELF...
ARE YOU HAPPY? HOW
CAN YOU BE HAPPY HERE
WITH THIS CITY LIFE,
HEMMED IN BY CONCRETE
AND GLASS AND STEEL?
HUH? BARKING DOGS
JUST DRIVING YOU MAD,
NEIGHBORS ALL OVER THE PLACE
JUST HEMMING YOU
IN, HEMMING YOU IN!
HUH? BEING TERRORIZED
BY ANIMALS AND HOODLUMS...
WELL, OF COURSE
YOU'RE NOT HAPPY!
IT'S DRIVING YOU CRAZY!
IT'S DRIVING YOU NUTS!
HEH. WELL, FRIENDS,
HERE'S THE SOLUTION.
BIG JACK'S CAMPERLAND!
WHOA! WHOA!
WHERE YOUR FANTASY OF FREEDOM
BECOMES AN R.V. REALITY!
WE'VE GOT 4 ACRES OF FUN
AND FREEDOM HERE, FOLKS!
MOTOR HOMES!
WE'VE GOT THE BIGGEST SELECTION
OF COUNTRY COMFORT CRUISERS
THIS SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
WHOOPS! HOW'D THAT GET THERE?
BIG JACK'S CAMPERLAND,
OPEN FROM 9 TO MIDNIGHT!
YOU COME AND SEE US, YOU HEAR?
BIG JACK'S LOVES YA!
GOT THE PICTURE?
CAPTAIN, THE WAY I SEE IT,
THIS DB IS NOT OUR
RESPONSIBILITY.
ROUTE 9's THE DIVIDING LINE
BETWEEN PALMDALE AND L.A.
SHE DOES HAVE A
POINT THERE, CHARLIE.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON
WHICH SIDE OF THE ROAD
THAT BODY WAS LAYING ON.
HELLO.
WHY TODAY OF ALL DAYS?
DON'T TAKE IT SO
PERSONALLY, NOW.
JUST RELAX.
HELLO, ERNIE.
HOW ARE THINGS
DOING IN PALMDALE?
HA HA HA!
YEAH, SO, UM, I
HEAR WE'VE GOT A DB
UP ON ROUTE 9, AND
THERE'S SOME QUESTION
AS TO WHOSE SIDE
OF THE ROAD SHE'S ON.
AH. OK. ERNIE, A
PLEASURE, AS USUAL.
YEAH, SO LONG.
WELL, McCALL, UNLESS YOU
WANT TO DRAG THAT BODY
TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD,
SHE'S ALL YOURS.
GREAT.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HER?
WELL, TODAY IS HER
BIRTHDAY, CHARLIE.
YOU SCREWED IT UP.
THIS GUY IS REALLY GREAT, TOO.
I TAKE IT YOU HAVE A LUNCH DATE?
I HAD A LUNCH DATE.
ANYBODY I KNOW?
YOU WOULDN'T APPROVE.
SO, WHO DO WE GOT THIS
TIME, ANOTHER JERK ATTORNEY?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
ANOTHER JERK ATTORNEY?
WHAT DO YOU THINK,
JUST BECAUSE I DATE
ONE ATTORNEY ONE TIME,
YOU THINK THOSE ARE
THE ONLY KIND OF GUYS
I DATE? NO!
THIS GUY HAPPENS TO BE A DOCTOR.
AND HE'S VERY SUCCESSFUL,
AND HE'S VERY BUSY, WHICH MEANS
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT
OF TIME TOGETHER.
NOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO
HAVE ANY TIME TOGETHER.
I TELL YOU WHAT, I'LL
GO ON THIS LITTLE RIDE,
AND YOU CAN STAY
WITH YOUR DOCTOR.
REALLY? I MEAN, YEAH?
SURE.
YOU'LL COVER? SURE.
AW... HA HA! MMM-WAH!
YOU'RE AN ANGEL.
YEAH.
TAKE IT EASY ON HIM.
HOW ARE YOU DOING, BARNEY?
HI, HUNTER.
WHAT'S HER NAME?
NO I.D. ON HER,
BUT THEY'RE RUNNING HER PRINTS.
JUDGING FROM THE
MARKS ON THE GROUND,
LOOKS LIKE SHE
ROLLED ABOUT 60 FEET.
LOOKS LIKE SHE HIT THE GROUND
GOING ABOUT 90 MILES AN HOUR.
YEAH, BUT SHE WAS
DEAD BEFORE THAT.
SHOT IN THE HEAD.
HER NAME WAS ANITA
FARGO, ALIAS MARIA FUEGO.
FIRST ARRESTED IN MAY
OF 1985 ON PROSTITUTION.
SHE WAS 19 YEARS OF AGE.
THEN, 6 MONTHS LATER,
FARGO WAS PICKED UP AGAIN
AS DARLENE DARLING.
GOD, HOW ABOUT THE
NAMES ON THESE GIRLS?
YOU KNOW, I THINK I LIKE
THIS BLONDE LOOK BETTER.
MM-HMM. THEN AGAIN,
THAT'S BETTY BLADE.
BETTY BLADE? WHAT A NAME.
IS THIS THE LAST WE GOT ON HER?
THAT'S IT.
SHE WAS PICKED UP
WITH 2 OTHER GIRLS...
SUSAN DUMONT, ALIAS SUZIE Q,
AND MARY LEKOWSKY,
ALIAS VICKI LAKE.
WELL, THEY WERE PICKED UP
NEAR MacARTHUR PARK.
TELL YOU WHAT,
I'LL GO DOWN THERE
AND TALK TO SOME
OF THE WORKING GIRLS.
WANT ME TO GO WITH YOU,
HOLD THEM WHILE YOU
INTERROGATE THEM?
WHAT ARE YOU, LONELY?
NO, YOU STAY HERE
AND TALK TO SPORTY.
SPORTY... THAT'S A GOOD
IDEA. DRIVE CAREFULLY.
KIRBY, HOW YOU DOING?
HI, SERGEANT.
SPORTY, HI.
GOOD AFTERNOON, SERGEANT.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
I'M NOT INTERRUPTING
A BIG, IMPORTANT
BUSINESS MEETING, AM I?
NO INTERRUPTION.
I'M JUST BONING UP
ON A NEW TAX LAW.
OH, TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW YOU CAN LAY OFF
SOME OF BOGOTA'S MILLIONS?
ME? BOGOTA'S MILLIONS?
ARE YOU CRAZY, SERGEANT?
I TOLD YOU I DON'T HAVE IT,
BUT I WISH I DID,
BECAUSE IT WOULD
BE WORTH EVERY CENT
JUST TO GET YOU TO
DROP THE SUBJECT.
CONSIDER IT DROPPED.
I NEED SOME INFO ON ANITA FARGO.
SHE'S A HOOKER.
HUH. YOU DON'T SAY.
UH, YEAH, I'VE SEEN HER AROUND,
BUT NOT LATELY. WHAT'S SHE INTO?
SHE'S INTO THE GROUND,
SPORTY. SHE'S DEAD.
YOU SEE, I'M LOOKING FOR A
COUPLE OF HER COWORKERS...
A SUZIE Q AND A VICKI LAKE.
YEAH, WELL,
YOU KNOW HOW THESE
GIRLS ARE, SERGEANT...
THEY COME AND THEY GO.
EVERY TIME YOU DRAG
THEM INTO THE STATION,
THEY GOT A NEW NAME.
BUT I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
SPORTY JAMES ENTERPRISES.
APPRECIATE IT, SPORTY.
JUST DOING MY DUTY
AS A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN.
IT'S FOR THE SERGEANT.
THANKS, KIRBY. HI.
WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M AT A PHONE
BOOTH. I FOUND SUZIE.
WELL, THAT'S VERY
FAST WORK, McCALL.
WHERE'D YOU FIND HER?
I DON'T REALLY HAVE
TIME TO GO INTO IT,
BUT GET A LOAD OF THIS.
SHE AND ANITA FARGO
WERE WORKING FOR A GUY
WHO RUNS RVs FROM
HERE TO SAN FRANCISCO,
SERVICING TRUCKERS
AND TRAVELING SALESMEN.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING.
UH-UH. THAT'S JUST
THE BEGINNING, TOO.
LISTEN, SHE WANTS TO
TALK, BUT SHE'S REAL SCARED.
WHY DON'T YOU
MEET ME AT MY HOUSE,
SAY AT 7:00 TONIGHT, OK?
YEAH. SEE YOU THERE.
TA-TA.
TA-TA?
YEAH. OFFICER DOWN.
SEND AN AMBULANCE, CODE
3, TO 8534 MESDEN DRIVE.
CODE BLUE, I.C.U.
CODE BLUE, I.C.U.
NUCLEAR MEDICINE,
CALL THE OPERATOR.
I'M SORRY. YOU
CAN'T COME IN HERE.
YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT OUTSIDE.
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE!
OUT OF THE WAY!
DR. PARKER, 3 NORTH.
DR. PARKER, 3 NORTH, PLEASE.
PHYSICAL THERAPIST
TO 5 EAST, PLEASE.
ANY NEWS?
THEY JUST ROLLED
SUSAN DUMONT OUT.
SHE'S DEAD.
SERGEANT HUNTER?
YES. I'M DR. LEE.
DR. LEE.
SERGEANT McCALL'S IN
THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT.
HER CONDITION IS CRITICAL.
WHAT ARE HER CHANCES?
SHE HAS A BULLET LODGED
BETWEEN HER THIRD
AND FOURTH VERTEBRAE.
SHE'S EXPERIENCING WHAT
WE CALL SPINAL SHOCK.
SHE'S PARALYZED
FROM THE NECK DOWN.
THIS MIGHT BE TEMPORARY,
CAUSED BY THE SWELLING
OF THE SPINAL CORD.
OR THE BULLET MIGHT HAVE
CAUSED PERMANENT DAMAGE.
WELL, CAN'T YOU OPERATE?
WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL
THE SWELLING GOES DOWN.
THAT COULD TAKE MAYBE A WEEK.
DOCTOR, IS THERE
ANY CHANCE AT ALL
WE CAN TALK TO HER TONIGHT?
WE'D LIKE TO KNOW IF
SHE GOT A GOOD LOOK
AT WHOEVER IT WAS THAT SHOT HER.
SHE'S NOT IN ANY CONDITION
TO ANSWER THAT
QUESTION RIGHT NOW.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN
YOU CAN TALK TO HER.
WELL, SHE COULD STILL
BE IN SOME DANGER.
I'D LIKE TO POST A MAN
OUTSIDE OF HER DOOR,
IF I COULD.
I'LL SPEAK WITH HOSPITAL
ADMINISTRATION IMMEDIATELY.
THANK YOU.
NEED ANY HELP ON THIS?
NO, I'M FINE, CHARLIE.
WELL, IF YOU NEED
ANYTHING, LET ME KNOW.
APPRECIATE THAT.
VOLUNTEER TO 6 WEST.
OH! I JUST HEARD
WHAT HAPPENED, MAN.
IS SHE ALL RIGHT?
NO, SHE'S NOT, SPORTY.
SHE'S IN THE I.C.U.
OH, MY GOD.
NURSE ADMINISTRATOR
TO PEDIATRICS, PLEASE.
ABOUT A YEAR AGO, SOME
GUY COMES INTO TOWN
AND STARTS CHECKING OUT
SOME OF THE
CHOICEST GIRLS, RIGHT?
NOW, NONE OF THE
PIMPS TOOK HIM SERIOUSLY
UNTIL THEY WOKE UP ONE MORNING,
CHECKED OUT THEIR INVENTORY,
AND REALIZED THAT 2 OR 3 DOZEN
OF SOME OF THEIR CHOICEST GIRLS
HAD DISAPPEARED.
NURSE ADMINISTRATOR
TO PEDIATRICS, PLEASE.
SOUNDS LIKE THE GUY
McCALL WAS TALKING ABOUT.
DOES ANYBODY
KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS,
A DESCRIPTION ON HIM?
NO, BUT FROM WHAT I'M TOLD,
ANITA FARGO,
SUZIE Q, VICKI LAKE...
THEY ALL DROPPED OUT OF
SIGHT JUST ABOUT THAT TIME.
OK, SPORTY, APPRECIATE THE INFO.
I BETTER FIND VICKI LAKE.
OH, OH!
THERE'S A BROTHER OUT
THERE WHO OWES ME A FAVOR,
A BIG FAVOR,
AND IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO
KNOWS WHERE VICKI LAKE IS,
HOMER DOES.
HOMER, HUH? I DIDN'T KNOW
HE WAS BACK OUT ON THE STREET.
WHERE CAN I FIND HIM?
Hunter: HOMER, HOW YOU DOING?
PEARLIE... YOU'RE NOT
STILL MAD AT ME, ARE YOU?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ME FOR,
HUNTER?
WELL, ACTUALLY, I'M LOOKING
FOR SOMEBODY YOU MIGHT KNOW.
AND JUST WHO MIGHT THAT BE?
VICKI LAKE.
AND YOU EXPECT FOR
ME TO HELP YOU FIND HER?
SOMEONE'S KILLED 2
OF HER FRIENDS, HOMER.
SHE MAY BE NEXT.
THEN YOU'RE NOT
LOOKING TO BUST HER?
JUST WANT TO HELP HER?
YEP.
TELL ME WHY I
SHOULD BELIEVE YOU.
THE PEOPLE AFTER VICKI,
THEY SHOT MY PARTNER,
DEE DEE McCALL.
SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL,
PARALYZED FROM THE NECK DOWN.
THINK HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH?
OK, HUNTER,
THERE'S A MASSAGE PARLOR
OVER ON FREEMONT AND HILL.
YOU CAN'T MISS HER.
SHE'S A DIRTY
BLONDE, REAL SKINNY,
BUT SHE'S GOT A
HELL OF A PROFILE.
THANKS, HOMER. I OWE YOU ONE.
COVER CHARGE IS 20 BUCKS.
RIGHT THIS WAY.
THAT ONE.
OK, THAT'S A MINIMUM $10 TIP.
UGH. WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO, BUST ME?
VICKI, I UNDERSTAND YOU
KNOW A MAN WHO RUNS GIRLS
UP AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN
MOTOR HOMES... IS THAT RIGHT?
LOOK, COME ON, VICKI,
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
KNOW THIS OR NOT,
BUT YOUR GIRLFRIENDS
ANITA FARGO AND SUZIE Q...
WELL, THEY'RE DEAD.
YOU COULD BE NEXT.
NOW, COME ON, TALK TO ME.
UM...
LOOK, UH, ABOUT A YEAR AGO,
I HAD A FIGHT WITH MY PIMP,
AND THAT'S WHEN I
HEARD ABOUT THIS GUY
WITH THE MOTOR HOMES,
SO I CHECKED HIM OUT.
HE TOLD ME TO MEET
HIM IN PERSHING SQUARE,
BUT HE DIDN'T COME.
HE SENT A WOMAN NAMED FLO.
SHE WAS A WORKING GIRL,
MAYBE 40, WITH A
LOT OF MILES ON HER.
SHE SAID I'D BE
GETTING 1,000 A WEEK
PLUS 20%, NO PIMPS, NO NOTHING.
JUST ME AND 3 OTHER GIRLS
IN A MOTOR HOME.
I WAS ON THE ROAD THAT NIGHT.
HOW MANY MOTOR
HOMES DO THEY USE?
I DON'T KNOW. 8 OR 9, MAYBE.
FLO WAS THE MANAGER.
SHE FOLLOWED US AROUND,
TOLD US WHICH ROADS TO TAKE,
WHERE TO STOP.
SHE HANDLED ALL
THE MONEY, DID SHE?
YEAH. ONCE A WEEK,
SHE'D PAY US WHATEVER WAS DUE,
AND THEN PUT THE REST
IN AN ENVELOPE AND LEAVE.
I SAW HER ONE
TIME GIVE THE MONEY
TO SOMEBODY IN
A BIG, BLACK ROLLS,
BUT I DIDN'T SEE WHO WAS INSIDE.
WHAT DOES FLO LOOK LIKE?
CAN YOU DESCRIBE HER TO ME?
I DON'T KNOW.
RED HAIR. SHE'S
MAYBE 5' 6 ", 5' 7".
KIND OF HEAVY, MAYBE 130, 140.
OH, YEAH. SHE'S GOT A TATTOO.
IT'S A ROSE.
ON HER SHOULDER,
UP NEAR HER BACK.
UH-HUH. WHAT
HIGHWAYS DID THEY TAKE?
ALL OF THE MAJOR TRUCK ROUTES.
ALL WE HAD TO DO
WAS JUST GET ON THE CB
AND SAY THE WILD BUNCH
WAS PULLING INTO A TRUCK STOP,
AND WE'D BE TURNING
TRICKS LIKE CRAZY.
WILD BUNCH?
YEAH. YEAH, EACH RV
HAD ITS OWN HANDLE.
OFF SHOULDER, HOT PURSUIT,
STUFF LIKE THAT.
NOW, $1,000 PER WEEK AND 20%,
THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, VICKI.
WHY'D YOU QUIT?
VICKI, COME ON, NOW.
YOU'RE IN DANGER.
YOUR FRIENDS ARE
DEAD. TALK TO ME HERE.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
I AM IN DANGER, ALL RIGHT...
TALKING TO YOU.
I HAVE ANSWERED
ALL YOUR QUESTIONS.
THE WELL IS DRY.
YOUR TIME IS UP.
NAME'S SERGEANT RICK HUNTER.
METROPOLITAN HOMICIDE.
YOU KNOW HOW TO
GET A HOLD OF ME,
YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS.
THANKS.
SERGEANT, PLEASE DON'T
ASK HER TO TALK TOO MUCH.
SHE'S IN PAIN AND UNDER
A LOT OF MEDICATION.
THANK YOU.
HOW YOU DOING?
OK.
DOCTOR TOLD ME NOT TO
HAVE YOU TALK TOO MUCH.
JUST RELAX.
FOUND VICKI LAKE.
SUZIE OK?
NO. SHE DIDN'T MAKE IT.
DID YOU SEE THE
GUY THAT DID THIS?
OH...
I... I DIDN'T SEE MUCH.
YOU'RE GONNA BE OK.
Man, on CB: GO AHEAD,
BREAKER. WHAT'S YOUR 20?
10-4, WHAT'S ON
YOUR MIND, DRIVER?
Second man: I NEED A 20 ON
THE NEAREST PUBLIC SCALE.
I GOTTA MAKE SURE THIS THING IS
LEGAL BEFORE I LEAVE THE COUNTY.
BREAKER 1-9. WILD MAN,
YOU GOT YOUR EARS ON?
THIS IS BIGFOOT NORTHBOUND ON 5.
I JUST PASSED A GYPSY
FLYING UNDER I-46 UNDERPASS.
Wild Man: THIS IS WILD MAN.
I GOT THE HAMMER DOWN,
AND I'M RIDING LIGHT.
HEADING INTO PHOENIX
FROM LAS VEGAS.
Bigfoot: BETTER PULL HER BACK.
THERE'S A BEAR IN THE
AIR TAKING PICTURES...
Man, on CB: BREAKER
1-9, BREAKER 1-9,
ANYBODY OUT THERE?
I GOT 300 MILES TO GO
AND I NEED SOMEBODY
TO KEEP ME AWAKE.
Second man: IF YOU'RE
REALLY HARD UP,
THERE'S AN OLD GEEZER ON 16
WHO'S BEEN SINGING UP A
STORM FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF.
I'M NOT THAT HARD UP.
I GUESS I'LL PULL OVER
AND HIT THE BOX FOR A COUPLE.
CANNED EGGS. 60 OFF.
Man, on CB: BREAKER 1-9,
THIS IS STREAKER. I'M AT
THE GAG AND PUKE ON 5
AND I GOT SHAG MAN
LOOKING FOR A RIDE.
ANYBODY DOING A SLEEPER
RUN AND NEEDS A HAND?
Second man: WHICH WAY
IS HE HEADING, STREAKER?
HE'S HEADING EAST,
BUT HE'LL TAKE ANY
RIDE HE CAN GET.
Third man: THIS IS GLOBETROTTER.
I'M HEADING TO HOUSTON.
I COULD USE A HAND.
THAT FAR ENOUGH?
THAT'D BE GREAT, GLOBETROTTER.
OK, SEE YOU AT COWSTAR IN 15.
I GOT A JEWELED CAB AND
I'M HAULING METALWORK TIN.
BE READY, 'CAUSE
I'M RUNNING BEHIND.

YOU GOT YOUR EARS ON?
Second man: THIS IS

LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE RIDING HEAVY.
IF THAT'S TRUE,

THE COUNTY MOUNTIES

KMA 70 OFF.
Man: BREAKER 1-9, BREAKER 1-9,

NEGATORY, OLD YELLER.
Woman, on CB: BREAKER

HELLO, ALL YOU LONELY
TRUCKERS OUT THERE.
THIS IS THE WILD BUNCH CALLING
TO LET YOU KNOW WE'RE ON
THE HIGHWAY TO HAPPINESS.
Man, on CB: WELL, I'LL BE.
I WAS JUST THINKING TO MYSELF
I COULD USE SOME PILLOW TALK
TO GET ME THROUGH
THIS LONG NIGHT.
Second man: WHY DON'T
YOU SHUT UP, BREAKER,
AND LET THE WOMAN TALK?
Woman: NOW, BOYS, NO FIGHTING.
THERE'S ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE.
WE'RE HEADED FOR JOE'S COWSTAR
SOUTHBOUND JUST
PAST THE 78 EXCHANGE.
WE GOT A COUPLE OF
EXPERIENCED MECHANICS
DOWN HERE JUST WAITING
TO SERVICE YOUR BIG RIG.
WE'RE IN A COUNTRY
COMFORT CRUISER,
BEIGE WITH A BROWN STRIPE.
SEE YA!
HEY! WHAT THE
HELL'S GOING ON HERE?
LOOK, I'M VERY SORRY.
I'M BACKING UP HERE.
I MISJUDGED THE DISTANCE. UH...
YEAH? WELL, YOU OUGHT
TO BE MORE CAREFUL.
Woman: HEY, GINGER,
IT'S COLD IN HERE.
SHUT THE DOOR!
LOOK, WHY DON'T
YOU COME ON IN, HUH?
YEAH. OK.
LISTEN, I'M VERY SORRY
ABOUT YOUR MOTOR HOME.
I THOROUGHLY
INTEND TO PAY FOR IT.
IT'S A SMALL DENT.
OH, REALLY? HI.
YEAH. I'D LIKE TO
FORGO MY INSURANCE,
IF THAT'S OK WITH YOU,
AND MAYBE WE COULD
EXCHANGE PHONE NUMBERS
AND ADDRESSES. YOU
CAN SEND ME THE BILL.
LISTEN, AS LONG AS
IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS,
LET'S JUST FORGET IT.
NO, NO. I INSIST
ON PAYING FOR IT.
IT WAS MY FAULT, AND AFTER ALL,
I SHOULD PAY FOR IT.
LOOK, HONEY, I
DON'T OWN THIS RIG.
AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
I REALLY DON'T THINK
THE OWNER WANTS TO
EXCHANGE ADDRESSES WITH YOU.
SO SINCE IT'S NOT A BIG DENT,
LET'S FORGET ABOUT IT, OK?
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.
OK. THANKS.
UH...
WOULD YOU LIKE TO STICK AROUND?
Woman: STAY FOR A DRINK.
YEAH, MAYBE HAVE A DRINK.
WELL, MAYBE UNDER
NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES
I'D DO THAT, BUT, UH...
THE ACCIDENT SHOOK ME
UP A LITTLE BIT. THANKS.
WAYNE? GOOD
MORNING. IT'S HUNTER.
LISTEN, DO ME A FAVOR, WILL YOU?
I NEED AN ADDRESS
FOR THE FOLLOWING
PHONE NUMBER: 555...
555-7843.
SERGEANT HUNTER,
I GOT THE INFORMATION ON
THAT RV YOU ASKED ABOUT.
GREAT. YEAH.
IT'S REGISTERED
TO BAY INDUSTRIES,
POST OFFICE BOX 6629, HOLLYWOOD.
POST OFFICE BOX?
JIMMY, I NEED AN ADDRESS.
POST OFFICE BOX WON'T DO.
I'LL GET RIGHT ON IT.
VICE. NICHOLSON.
YEAH, NICK. IT'S HUNTER. I'M
LOOKING FOR A PROSTITUTE.
LAST TIME SHE WAS
ARRESTED WAS JUNE OF '86.
NAME WAS FLORENCE KEAN, K-E-A-N.
SHE IS CONNECTED WITH
THE PEOPLE WHO SHOT McCALL.
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU
SOON AS I GOT SOMETHING.
GREAT. APPRECIATE IT. I'M
IN THE COMPUTER ROOM NOW,
SO BUZZ ME RIGHT...
RIGHT STRAIGHT THROUGH.
HUNTER.
HUNTER.
YEAH, WAYNE. GREAT.
TERRIFIC. THAT HELPS
ME OUT VERY MUCH.
THANKS.
Man: I WAS WALKING
DOWN THE HALL,
AND THE DOOR WAS OPEN.
SAW THE 2 BODIES THERE,
AND THAT'S WHEN I CALLED YOU.
YOU'D BETTER GO TO THE HOSPITAL
AND HAVE THAT X-RAYED.
YEAH. I'LL GET RIGHT ON IT.
YOU LISTEN TO WHAT THE MAN SAYS.
YOU TAKE IT EASY.
THE DB'S NAME IS MARY LEKOWSKY.
WHOEVER SHOT HER WAS
STANDING BEHIND THAT DOOR
WHEN SHE CAME IN,
SHOT HER IN THE BACK.
UH, AMBROSE, MARY LEKOWSKY
IS THE REAL NAME OF A HOOKER
BY THE NAME OF VICKI LAKE.
THAT IS NOT VICKI LAKE.
SEE YA.
HEY, I ALREADY TOLD
YOU SHE HASN'T BEEN HERE
SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU CAME IN.
HEY, WHAT DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE DOING?
HEY, YOU JUST CAN'T
COME BARGING IN
A PLACE LIKE THIS.
GET OUT!
JERK.
LOOK, I'LL DO MY BEST, SERGEANT,
BUT I GOT A FEELING THAT VICKI
IS LONG GONE.
LOOK HERE, SPORTY,
VICKI KNOWS AN AWFUL LOT.
THAT'S WHY THEY'RE AFTER HER.
DO ME A FAVOR, WILL
YOU? STAY WITH ME ON THIS.
YOU KNOW I WILL.
THANKS.
Hunter: SO WHEN I CHECKED
OUT THE ADDRESS I HAD
FOR BAY INDUSTRIES,
I REALIZED IT WAS AN
ABANDONED BUILDING.
WELL, THEN I ASKED MYSELF,
"WHAT WOULD SERGEANT McCALL
DO IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS?"
SHE'D GET OUT THE
OLD WRAPPING PAPER
AND SEND THEM A PACKAGE
TO THE POST OFFICE BOX.
HI.
SORRY, NO SOLICITORS.
LOOK, I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU'RE SELLING.
I DON'T WANT ANY.
I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU COULD ANSWER
A QUESTION FOR ME.
HOW IS IT THAT A
LITTLE OFFICE LIKE THIS
COULD HOUSE WHAT APPEARS
TO BE ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S
LARGEST CONGLOMERATES?
I JUST WORK HERE, MISTER.
COULD I TALK TO YOUR BOSS?
YOU GOT A WARRANT?
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T,
I DON'T HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.
FREE WHEELING WHOLESALE.
UH... COULD YOU HOLD, PLEASE?
ARE YOU JUST GOING
TO STAND THERE?
BECAUSE IF YOU ARE,
I'M GOING TO HANG UP.
YOU'VE GOT 5 COMPANIES
IN AN OFFICE THAT BIG, JACK.
ONE OF THEM BELONGS TO
YOUR WIFE LOUISE HEMMINGS.
THE REST BELONG TO A
JOHN ARTHUR HEMMINGS.
THAT IS YOU, ISN'T IT?
MR. HEMMINGS' CORPORATE HOLDINGS
ARE A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD.
IF THIS IS SOME KIND OF A...
YOU'RE ALSO RUNNING HOOKERS
UP AND DOWN INTERSTATE
5 IN MOTOR HOMES, JACK.
THAT IS A DAMNED
LIE. IT'S ALSO SLANDER.
NOW, I RUN AN HONEST BUSINESS.
I'VE GOT A GOOD NAME
IN THIS COMMUNITY.
UNLESS YOU'RE HERE TO ARREST ME,
I WANT YOU OUT OF MY OFFICE.
YOU'RE A PIMP,
AND YOU'RE A MURDERER, JACK.
YOU PAID SOME PUNK
TO SHOOT MY PARTNER.
NOW I'M GOING TO GET YOU.
YOU GET OUT OF MY OFFICE.
CERTAINLY.
YOU GIVE A NEW
MEANING TO THE TERM
"RECREATIONAL VEHICLE," JACK.
CALL ME WHEN YOU
WANT TO CONFESS.
NICE SHOES.
YOU HEARD ME.
SHUT THE WHOLE THING DOWN.
FLORENCE... FLORENCE, LISTEN!
YOU WORK FOR ME.
NOW, YOU GET RID OF THE GIRLS
AND GET THE RVs BACK IN HERE.
WHAT THE HELL ABOUT
ANITA FARGO AND SUZIE Q?
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!
JUST GET RID OF THOSE
STINKING HOOKERS,
AND YOU MAKE SURE
YOU AND THE VEHICLES
ARE BACK HERE TONIGHT.
YOU GOT FRIENDS AT CITY HALL.
WOULD YOU USE THEM
AND GET THAT COP OFF MY BACK?
YEAH, I KNOW, BUT WE
GOTTA BE CAREFUL ABOUT THIS
BECAUSE YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE AN OFFICER
HARASSING AN INNOCENT
CITIZEN WITHOUT JUST CAUSE.
WELL... LOOK, I'M JUST
TRYING TO GET THE GUY
TO MAKE A MISTAKE, CHARLIE.
YOU KNOW THAT. COME ON.
MEANWHILE, BIG JACK'S GOT
ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS
DUMPING ON US.
NOW, I AGREE WITH YOUR THEORY.
LET'S JUST HOPE IT WORKS.
YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK LIKE
MY CAT AFTER A BAD NIGHT.
HAIRBALLS?
GO HOME AND GET SOME SLEEP.
NO.
SERGEANT HUNTER?
I'M LAURA DECKER.
I SAW YOU TODAY AT BIG JACK'S.
YEAH?
WELL, I HEARD WHAT
YOU SAID TO HIM.
I TOOK THIS STUFF
FROM HIS OFFICE.
I WANT TO HELP YOU GET HIM.
WHY IS THAT?
HE KILLED MY FATHER.
Laura: DAD AND MOM WERE
GOING TO SEE AMERICA,
BUT THEY HAD SO MUCH
TROUBLE WITH THAT DAMNED RV.
DAD FINALLY HAD IT CHECKED OUT.
IT TURNS OUT IT HAD BEEN SOLD
AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE.
DAD SUED.
AND RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE TRIAL,
HE HAD A HEART ATTACK AND DIED.
I CANCELED A TRIP I
HAD PLANNED TO PARIS
AND GOT A JOB WITH BIG JACK,
HOPING I'D FIND SOME
WAY TO MAKE HIM
PAY FOR WHAT HE DID.
WHEN YOU CAME IN TODAY,
I DECIDED I'D FOUND THE WAY.
THESE ARE HIS
IN-HOUSE ORIGINALS.
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN DOCTORED YET
BY HIS C.P.A.
YOU MEAN THE GUY IN HIS OFFICE?
YEAH. ROGER ADLER.
BIG JACK PAYS HIM A LOT OF MONEY
TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING ADDS UP.
NOW, WHAT ABOUT
BIG JACK'S WIFE LOUISE?
SHE'S ON RECORD AS THE OWNER
OF ONE OF HIS BUSINESSES.
PROBABLY A TAX SCAM.
LOUISE IS A REAL
CHEAP-LOOKING BIMBO
WHO CAN'T BALANCE HER CHECKBOOK,
LET ALONE RUN A COMPANY.
SHE'S IN NEW YORK RIGHT NOW.
JACK SENDS HER AWAY
A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR
TO HELP SUPPORT
THE FASHION INDUSTRY.
OK.
THIS IS GOOD.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CREAM?
YEAH. I'LL GET IT FOR YOU.
JACK FINDS OUT THESE,
UH, FILES ARE MISSING,
HE'S GOING TO COME
LOOKING FOR YOU.
I HIGHLY SUGGEST
YOU NOT GO BACK TO YOUR HOUSE
UNTIL THIS WHOLE
THING BLOWS OVER,
SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL STAY HERE.
OH, THANKS. THAT'S
REALLY NICE OF YOU,
BUT I CAN'T.
I'D BE IMPOSING.
YOU DON'T HAVE
MUCH CHOICE, HONEY.
YOU'RE IN DANGER.
UH, EXCUSE ME.
HELLO?
GREAT. I'LL PICK YOU
UP AT THE PRECINCT
IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES.
I'M GOING TO GO OUT
FOR ABOUT AN HOUR,
HOUR AND A HALF.
IF ANYBODY PHONES,
DON'T ANSWER IT.
IF ANYBODY KNOCKS ON
THE DOOR, CALL THE POLICE.
NOBODY KNOWS I'M HERE.
THAT'S FINE. JUST DO AS I SAY.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Hunter: NICE NEIGHBORHOOD, HUH?
WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?
SHE'S PROBABLY
PULLING IN 80,000 A YEAR,
AND ALL THAT'S TAX-FREE.
MMM.
YEP, THAT'S FLO.
SHE'S DEAD.
THIS IS L-56.
I'VE GOT A 187 VICTIM.
SUSPECT LAST SEEN
DRIVING A LATE-MODEL SEDAN
WITH THE LEFT
REAR TAILLIGHT OUT.
LAST SEEN HEADED EAST
ON GREEN CRAIG
AVENUE NEAR CANTOR.
DO YOU KNOW IT'S 5 A.M.?
WHOSE INITIALS ARE THESE?
THE BANK INSPECTOR'S.
SEE, DEALERS BUY
THEIR INVENTORIES
WITH BORROWED MONEY.
THEN WHEN THEY SELL A CAR...
OR AN RV IN THIS CASE...
THEY REPAY THE BANK.
THE INSPECTOR'S
INITIALS TELL THE BANK
THAT THE VEHICLE'S
STILL ON THE LOT UNSOLD.
ALL THESE LOAN AGREEMENTS SHOW
THAT THE RVs WERE SOLD BEFORE...
WEEKS BEFORE...
THESE PAGES WERE INITIALED.
WE GOT HIM.
HE'S OPERATING OUT OF TRUST.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
HE'S SELLING RVs,
AND HE'S NOT GIVING
THE BANK THEIR MONEY.
IT PROBABLY AMOUNTS TO
MILLIONS OF THE BANK'S DOLLARS.
BIG JACK PLAYS THE STOCK
MARKET ALL DAY LONG.
I'VE HEARD HIM BUYING OPTIONS,
COMMODITIES, WARRANTS...
RICK, IF WE TAKE
THIS TO THE BANK,
WE'VE GOT HIM.
WE TAKE THIS TO THE BANK,
YOU'LL BE ARRESTED FOR THEFT.
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
WHAT HAPPENS TO
BIG JACK'S BUSINESS
IF HIS RVs STOP COMING IN?
WELL, HIS WHOLE SCAM
DEPENDS ON TURNOVER...
RVs COMING IN AS FAST
AS THEY'RE GOING OUT.
YOU CUT OFF HIS
SUPPLY, AND HE'S HAD IT.
WHERE DOES THE SUPPLY COME FROM?
THEY'RE ALL FROM COUNTRY
COMFORT DOWN IN SAN DIEGO.
THEY'VE GOT A BIG PLANT
RIGHT NEAR THE
BORDER IN EL MIRAGE.
OK.
I'M GOING TO THE HOSPITAL,
AND THEN I'M GOING TO EL MIRAGE
FOR SOME SLEEP.
CAN SERGEANT McCALL
COME OUT AND PLAY?
McCall: HI.
HOW YOU DOING?
OK.
YOU KNOW, YOU MAY
NOT SEE ME TOMORROW.
I GOT TO GO DOWN TO SAN DIEGO.
WHY SAN DIEGO?
WELL, I'LL TALK TO YOU
ABOUT THAT WHEN I GET BACK
FROM SAN DIEGO.
HOW'S IT GOING?
I CAN'T FEEL ANYTHING
YET, YOU KNOW.
WELL, THE DOCTOR SAID
IT'D TAKE ABOUT A WEEK
FOR ALL THE
SWELLING TO CLEAR UP.
THEN WHAT?
DR. PARKER, 3 NORTH.
DR. PARKER, 3 NORTH, PLEASE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
THIS IS L-56.
I'M IN PURSUIT OF
AN A.D.W. SUSPECT
DRIVING A LATE-MODEL RED SEDAN,
LICENSE PLATE NUMBER
1-PETER-CHARLIE-ECHO-4-2-1.
I NEED IMMEDIATE BACKUP
AT MASON DRIVE AND...
SPRING STREET. L-56 OUT.
GOING ABOUT 90 MILES AN HOUR.
YEAH, BUT SHE WAS
DEAD BEFORE THAT.
SHOT IN THE HEAD.
THAT ONE.
SHUT THE WHOLE THING DOWN!
WHAT ARE HER CHANCES?
SHE'S INTO THE GROUND,
SPORTY. SHE'S DEAD.
ARE YOU HAPPY? HUH?
I MEAN, ASK YOURSELF...
ARE YOU HAPPY? HOW
CAN YOU BE HAPPY HERE
WITH THIS CITY LIFE,
HEMMED IN BY CONCRETE
AND GLASS AND STEEL?
HUH? BARKING DOGS
JUST DRIVING YOU MAD,
NEIGHBORS ALL OVER THE PLACE
JUST HEMMING YOU
IN, HEMMING YOU IN!
HUH? BEING TERRORIZED
BY ANIMALS AND HOODLUMS...
WELL, OF COURSE
YOU'RE NOT HAPPY!
IT'S DRIVING YOU CRAZY!
IT'S DRIVING YOU NUTS!
HEH. WELL, FRIENDS,
HERE'S THE SOLUTION.
BIG JACK'S CAMPERLAND!
WHOA! WHOA!
WHERE YOUR FANTASY OF FREEDOM
BECOMES AN R.V. REALITY!
WE'VE GOT 4 ACRES OF FUN
AND FREEDOM HERE, FOLKS!
MOTOR HOMES!
WE'VE GOT THE BIGGEST SELECTION
OF COUNTRY COMFORT CRUISERS
THIS SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
WHOOPS! HOW'D THAT GET THERE?
BIG JACK'S CAMPERLAND,
OPEN FROM 9 TO MIDNIGHT!
YOU COME AND SEE US, YOU HEAR?
BIG JACK'S LOVES YA!
GOT THE PICTURE?
CAPTAIN, THE WAY I SEE IT,
THIS DB IS NOT OUR
RESPONSIBILITY.
ROUTE 9's THE DIVIDING LINE
BETWEEN PALMDALE AND L.A.
SHE DOES HAVE A
POINT THERE, CHARLIE.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON
WHICH SIDE OF THE ROAD
THAT BODY WAS LAYING ON.
HELLO.
WHY TODAY OF ALL DAYS?
DON'T TAKE IT SO
PERSONALLY, NOW.
JUST RELAX.
HELLO, ERNIE.
HOW ARE THINGS
DOING IN PALMDALE?
HA HA HA!
YEAH, SO, UM, I
HEAR WE'VE GOT A DB
UP ON ROUTE 9, AND
THERE'S SOME QUESTION
AS TO WHOSE SIDE
OF THE ROAD SHE'S ON.
AH. OK. ERNIE, A
PLEASURE, AS USUAL.
YEAH, SO LONG.
WELL, McCALL, UNLESS YOU
WANT TO DRAG THAT BODY
TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD,
SHE'S ALL YOURS.
GREAT.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HER?
WELL, TODAY IS HER
BIRTHDAY, CHARLIE.
YOU SCREWED IT UP.
THIS GUY IS REALLY GREAT, TOO.
I TAKE IT YOU HAVE A LUNCH DATE?
I HAD A LUNCH DATE.
ANYBODY I KNOW?
YOU WOULDN'T APPROVE.
SO, WHO DO WE GOT THIS
TIME, ANOTHER JERK ATTORNEY?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
ANOTHER JERK ATTORNEY?
WHAT DO YOU THINK,
JUST BECAUSE I DATE
ONE ATTORNEY ONE TIME,
YOU THINK THOSE ARE
THE ONLY KIND OF GUYS
I DATE? NO!
THIS GUY HAPPENS TO BE A DOCTOR.
AND HE'S VERY SUCCESSFUL,
AND HE'S VERY BUSY, WHICH MEANS
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT
OF TIME TOGETHER.
NOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO
HAVE ANY TIME TOGETHER.
I TELL YOU WHAT, I'LL
GO ON THIS LITTLE RIDE,
AND YOU CAN STAY
WITH YOUR DOCTOR.
REALLY? I MEAN, YEAH?
SURE.
YOU'LL COVER? SURE.
AW... HA HA! MMM-WAH!
YOU'RE AN ANGEL.
YEAH.
TAKE IT EASY ON HIM.
HOW ARE YOU DOING, BARNEY?
HI, HUNTER.
WHAT'S HER NAME?
NO I.D. ON HER,
BUT THEY'RE RUNNING HER PRINTS.
JUDGING FROM THE
MARKS ON THE GROUND,
LOOKS LIKE SHE
ROLLED ABOUT 60 FEET.
LOOKS LIKE SHE HIT THE GROUND
GOING ABOUT 90 MILES AN HOUR.
YEAH, BUT SHE WAS
DEAD BEFORE THAT.
SHOT IN THE HEAD.
HER NAME WAS ANITA
FARGO, ALIAS MARIA FUEGO.
FIRST ARRESTED IN MAY
OF 1985 ON PROSTITUTION.
SHE WAS 19 YEARS OF AGE.
THEN, 6 MONTHS LATER,
FARGO WAS PICKED UP AGAIN
AS DARLENE DARLING.
GOD, HOW ABOUT THE
NAMES ON THESE GIRLS?
YOU KNOW, I THINK I LIKE
THIS BLONDE LOOK BETTER.
MM-HMM. THEN AGAIN,
THAT'S BETTY BLADE.
BETTY BLADE? WHAT A NAME.
IS THIS THE LAST WE GOT ON HER?
THAT'S IT.
SHE WAS PICKED UP
WITH 2 OTHER GIRLS...
SUSAN DUMONT, ALIAS SUZIE Q,
AND MARY LEKOWSKY,
ALIAS VICKI LAKE.
WELL, THEY WERE PICKED UP
NEAR MacARTHUR PARK.
TELL YOU WHAT,
I'LL GO DOWN THERE
AND TALK TO SOME
OF THE WORKING GIRLS.
WANT ME TO GO WITH YOU,
HOLD THEM WHILE YOU
INTERROGATE THEM?
WHAT ARE YOU, LONELY?
NO, YOU STAY HERE
AND TALK TO SPORTY.
SPORTY... THAT'S A GOOD
IDEA. DRIVE CAREFULLY.
KIRBY, HOW YOU DOING?
HI, SERGEANT.
SPORTY, HI.
GOOD AFTERNOON, SERGEANT.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
I'M NOT INTERRUPTING
A BIG, IMPORTANT
BUSINESS MEETING, AM I?
NO INTERRUPTION.
I'M JUST BONING UP
ON A NEW TAX LAW.
OH, TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW YOU CAN LAY OFF
SOME OF BOGOTA'S MILLIONS?
ME? BOGOTA'S MILLIONS?
ARE YOU CRAZY, SERGEANT?
I TOLD YOU I DON'T HAVE IT,
BUT I WISH I DID,
BECAUSE IT WOULD
BE WORTH EVERY CENT
JUST TO GET YOU TO
DROP THE SUBJECT.
CONSIDER IT DROPPED.
I NEED SOME INFO ON ANITA FARGO.
SHE'S A HOOKER.
HUH. YOU DON'T SAY.
UH, YEAH, I'VE SEEN HER AROUND,
BUT NOT LATELY. WHAT'S SHE INTO?
SHE'S INTO THE GROUND,
SPORTY. SHE'S DEAD.
YOU SEE, I'M LOOKING FOR A
COUPLE OF HER COWORKERS...
A SUZIE Q AND A VICKI LAKE.
YEAH, WELL,
YOU KNOW HOW THESE
GIRLS ARE, SERGEANT...
THEY COME AND THEY GO.
EVERY TIME YOU DRAG
THEM INTO THE STATION,
THEY GOT A NEW NAME.
BUT I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
SPORTY JAMES ENTERPRISES.
APPRECIATE IT, SPORTY.
JUST DOING MY DUTY
AS A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN.
IT'S FOR THE SERGEANT.
THANKS, KIRBY. HI.
WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M AT A PHONE
BOOTH. I FOUND SUZIE.
WELL, THAT'S VERY
FAST WORK, McCALL.
WHERE'D YOU FIND HER?
I DON'T REALLY HAVE
TIME TO GO INTO IT,
BUT GET A LOAD OF THIS.
SHE AND ANITA FARGO
WERE WORKING FOR A GUY
WHO RUNS RVs FROM
HERE TO SAN FRANCISCO,
SERVICING TRUCKERS
AND TRAVELING SALESMEN.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING.
UH-UH. THAT'S JUST
THE BEGINNING, TOO.
LISTEN, SHE WANTS TO
TALK, BUT SHE'S REAL SCARED.
WHY DON'T YOU
MEET ME AT MY HOUSE,
SAY AT 7:00 TONIGHT, OK?
YEAH. SEE YOU THERE.
TA-TA.
TA-TA?
YEAH. OFFICER DOWN.
SEND AN AMBULANCE, CODE
3, TO 8534 MESDEN DRIVE.
CODE BLUE, I.C.U.
CODE BLUE, I.C.U.
NUCLEAR MEDICINE,
CALL THE OPERATOR.
I'M SORRY. YOU
CAN'T COME IN HERE.
YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT OUTSIDE.
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE!
OUT OF THE WAY!
DR. PARKER, 3 NORTH.
DR. PARKER, 3 NORTH, PLEASE.
PHYSICAL THERAPIST
TO 5 EAST, PLEASE.
ANY NEWS?
THEY JUST ROLLED
SUSAN DUMONT OUT.
SHE'S DEAD.
SERGEANT HUNTER?
YES. I'M DR. LEE.
DR. LEE.
SERGEANT McCALL'S IN
THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT.
HER CONDITION IS CRITICAL.
WHAT ARE HER CHANCES?
SHE HAS A BULLET LODGED
BETWEEN HER THIRD
AND FOURTH VERTEBRAE.
SHE'S EXPERIENCING WHAT
WE CALL SPINAL SHOCK.
SHE'S PARALYZED
FROM THE NECK DOWN.
THIS MIGHT BE TEMPORARY,
CAUSED BY THE SWELLING
OF THE SPINAL CORD.
OR THE BULLET MIGHT HAVE
CAUSED PERMANENT DAMAGE.
WELL, CAN'T YOU OPERATE?
WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL
THE SWELLING GOES DOWN.
THAT COULD TAKE MAYBE A WEEK.
DOCTOR, IS THERE
ANY CHANCE AT ALL
WE CAN TALK TO HER TONIGHT?
WE'D LIKE TO KNOW IF
SHE GOT A GOOD LOOK
AT WHOEVER IT WAS THAT SHOT HER.
SHE'S NOT IN ANY CONDITION
TO ANSWER THAT
QUESTION RIGHT NOW.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN
YOU CAN TALK TO HER.
WELL, SHE COULD STILL
BE IN SOME DANGER.
I'D LIKE TO POST A MAN
OUTSIDE OF HER DOOR,
IF I COULD.
I'LL SPEAK WITH HOSPITAL
ADMINISTRATION IMMEDIATELY.
THANK YOU.
NEED ANY HELP ON THIS?
NO, I'M FINE, CHARLIE.
WELL, IF YOU NEED
ANYTHING, LET ME KNOW.
APPRECIATE THAT.
VOLUNTEER TO 6 WEST.
OH! I JUST HEARD
WHAT HAPPENED, MAN.
IS SHE ALL RIGHT?
NO, SHE'S NOT, SPORTY.
SHE'S IN THE I.C.U.
OH, MY GOD.
NURSE ADMINISTRATOR
TO PEDIATRICS, PLEASE.
ABOUT A YEAR AGO, SOME
GUY COMES INTO TOWN
AND STARTS CHECKING OUT
SOME OF THE
CHOICEST GIRLS, RIGHT?
NOW, NONE OF THE
PIMPS TOOK HIM SERIOUSLY
UNTIL THEY WOKE UP ONE MORNING,
CHECKED OUT THEIR INVENTORY,
AND REALIZED THAT 2 OR 3 DOZEN
OF SOME OF THEIR CHOICEST GIRLS
HAD DISAPPEARED.
NURSE ADMINISTRATOR
TO PEDIATRICS, PLEASE.
SOUNDS LIKE THE GUY
McCALL WAS TALKING ABOUT.
DOES ANYBODY
KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS,
A DESCRIPTION ON HIM?
NO, BUT FROM WHAT I'M TOLD,
ANITA FARGO,
SUZIE Q, VICKI LAKE...
THEY ALL DROPPED OUT OF
SIGHT JUST ABOUT THAT TIME.
OK, SPORTY, APPRECIATE THE INFO.
I BETTER FIND VICKI LAKE.
OH, OH!
THERE'S A BROTHER OUT
THERE WHO OWES ME A FAVOR,
A BIG FAVOR,
AND IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO
KNOWS WHERE VICKI LAKE IS,
HOMER DOES.
HOMER, HUH? I DIDN'T KNOW
HE WAS BACK OUT ON THE STREET.
WHERE CAN I FIND HIM?
Hunter: HOMER, HOW YOU DOING?
PEARLIE... YOU'RE NOT
STILL MAD AT ME, ARE YOU?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ME FOR,
HUNTER?
WELL, ACTUALLY, I'M LOOKING
FOR SOMEBODY YOU MIGHT KNOW.
AND JUST WHO MIGHT THAT BE?
VICKI LAKE.
AND YOU EXPECT FOR
ME TO HELP YOU FIND HER?
SOMEONE'S KILLED 2
OF HER FRIENDS, HOMER.
SHE MAY BE NEXT.
THEN YOU'RE NOT
LOOKING TO BUST HER?
JUST WANT TO HELP HER?
YEP.
TELL ME WHY I
SHOULD BELIEVE YOU.
THE PEOPLE AFTER VICKI,
THEY SHOT MY PARTNER,
DEE DEE McCALL.
SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL,
PARALYZED FROM THE NECK DOWN.
THINK HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH?
OK, HUNTER,
THERE'S A MASSAGE PARLOR
OVER ON FREEMONT AND HILL.
YOU CAN'T MISS HER.
SHE'S A DIRTY
BLONDE, REAL SKINNY,
BUT SHE'S GOT A
HELL OF A PROFILE.
THANKS, HOMER. I OWE YOU ONE.
COVER CHARGE IS 20 BUCKS.
RIGHT THIS WAY.
THAT ONE.
OK, THAT'S A MINIMUM $10 TIP.
UGH. WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO, BUST ME?
VICKI, I UNDERSTAND YOU
KNOW A MAN WHO RUNS GIRLS
UP AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN
MOTOR HOMES... IS THAT RIGHT?
LOOK, COME ON, VICKI,
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
KNOW THIS OR NOT,
BUT YOUR GIRLFRIENDS
ANITA FARGO AND SUZIE Q...
WELL, THEY'RE DEAD.
YOU COULD BE NEXT.
NOW, COME ON, TALK TO ME.
UM...
LOOK, UH, ABOUT A YEAR AGO,
I HAD A FIGHT WITH MY PIMP,
AND THAT'S WHEN I
HEARD ABOUT THIS GUY
WITH THE MOTOR HOMES,
SO I CHECKED HIM OUT.
HE TOLD ME TO MEET
HIM IN PERSHING SQUARE,
BUT HE DIDN'T COME.
HE SENT A WOMAN NAMED FLO.
SHE WAS A WORKING GIRL,
MAYBE 40, WITH A
LOT OF MILES ON HER.
SHE SAID I'D BE
GETTING 1,000 A WEEK
PLUS 20%, NO PIMPS, NO NOTHING.
JUST ME AND 3 OTHER GIRLS
IN A MOTOR HOME.
I WAS ON THE ROAD THAT NIGHT.
HOW MANY MOTOR
HOMES DO THEY USE?
I DON'T KNOW. 8 OR 9, MAYBE.
FLO WAS THE MANAGER.
SHE FOLLOWED US AROUND,
TOLD US WHICH ROADS TO TAKE,
WHERE TO STOP.
SHE HANDLED ALL
THE MONEY, DID SHE?
YEAH. ONCE A WEEK,
SHE'D PAY US WHATEVER WAS DUE,
AND THEN PUT THE REST
IN AN ENVELOPE AND LEAVE.
I SAW HER ONE
TIME GIVE THE MONEY
TO SOMEBODY IN
A BIG, BLACK ROLLS,
BUT I DIDN'T SEE WHO WAS INSIDE.
WHAT DOES FLO LOOK LIKE?
CAN YOU DESCRIBE HER TO ME?
I DON'T KNOW.
RED HAIR. SHE'S
MAYBE 5' 6 ", 5' 7".
KIND OF HEAVY, MAYBE 130, 140.
OH, YEAH. SHE'S GOT A TATTOO.
IT'S A ROSE.
ON HER SHOULDER,
UP NEAR HER BACK.
UH-HUH. WHAT
HIGHWAYS DID THEY TAKE?
ALL OF THE MAJOR TRUCK ROUTES.
ALL WE HAD TO DO
WAS JUST GET ON THE CB
AND SAY THE WILD BUNCH
WAS PULLING INTO A TRUCK STOP,
AND WE'D BE TURNING
TRICKS LIKE CRAZY.
WILD BUNCH?
YEAH. YEAH, EACH RV
HAD ITS OWN HANDLE.
OFF SHOULDER, HOT PURSUIT,
STUFF LIKE THAT.
NOW, $1,000 PER WEEK AND 20%,
THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, VICKI.
WHY'D YOU QUIT?
VICKI, COME ON, NOW.
YOU'RE IN DANGER.
YOUR FRIENDS ARE
DEAD. TALK TO ME HERE.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
I AM IN DANGER, ALL RIGHT...
TALKING TO YOU.
I HAVE ANSWERED
ALL YOUR QUESTIONS.
THE WELL IS DRY.
YOUR TIME IS UP.
NAME'S SERGEANT RICK HUNTER.
METROPOLITAN HOMICIDE.
YOU KNOW HOW TO
GET A HOLD OF ME,
YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS.
THANKS.
SERGEANT, PLEASE DON'T
ASK HER TO TALK TOO MUCH.
SHE'S IN PAIN AND UNDER
A LOT OF MEDICATION.
THANK YOU.
HOW YOU DOING?
OK.
DOCTOR TOLD ME NOT TO
HAVE YOU TALK TOO MUCH.
JUST RELAX.
FOUND VICKI LAKE.
SUZIE OK?
NO. SHE DIDN'T MAKE IT.
DID YOU SEE THE
GUY THAT DID THIS?
OH...
I... I DIDN'T SEE MUCH.
YOU'RE GONNA BE OK.
Man, on CB: GO AHEAD,
BREAKER. WHAT'S YOUR 20?
10-4, WHAT'S ON
YOUR MIND, DRIVER?
Second man: I NEED A 20 ON
THE NEAREST PUBLIC SCALE.
I GOTTA MAKE SURE THIS THING IS
LEGAL BEFORE I LEAVE THE COUNTY.
BREAKER 1-9. WILD MAN,
YOU GOT YOUR EARS ON?
THIS IS BIGFOOT NORTHBOUND ON 5.
I JUST PASSED A GYPSY
FLYING UNDER I-46 UNDERPASS.
Wild Man: THIS IS WILD MAN.
I GOT THE HAMMER DOWN,
AND I'M RIDING LIGHT.
HEADING INTO PHOENIX
FROM LAS VEGAS.
Bigfoot: BETTER PULL HER BACK.
THERE'S A BEAR IN THE
AIR TAKING PICTURES...
Man, on CB: BREAKER
1-9, BREAKER 1-9,
ANYBODY OUT THERE?
I GOT 300 MILES TO GO
AND I NEED SOMEBODY
TO KEEP ME AWAKE.
Second man: IF YOU'RE
REALLY HARD UP,
THERE'S AN OLD GEEZER ON 16
WHO'S BEEN SINGING UP A
STORM FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF.
I'M NOT THAT HARD UP.
I GUESS I'LL PULL OVER
AND HIT THE BOX FOR A COUPLE.
CANNED EGGS. 60 OFF.
Man, on CB: BREAKER 1-9,
THIS IS STREAKER. I'M AT
THE GAG AND PUKE ON 5
AND I GOT SHAG MAN
LOOKING FOR A RIDE.
ANYBODY DOING A SLEEPER
RUN AND NEEDS A HAND?
Second man: WHICH WAY
IS HE HEADING, STREAKER?
HE'S HEADING EAST,
BUT HE'LL TAKE ANY
RIDE HE CAN GET.
Third man: THIS IS GLOBETROTTER.
I'M HEADING TO HOUSTON.
I COULD USE A HAND.
THAT FAR ENOUGH?
THAT'D BE GREAT, GLOBETROTTER.
OK, SEE YOU AT COWSTAR IN 15.
I GOT A JEWELED CAB AND
I'M HAULING METALWORK TIN.
BE READY, 'CAUSE
I'M RUNNING BEHIND.
RIGHT. SEE YOU IN
15. STREAKER OUT.
Man, on CB: BREAKER 1-9,
BKA TRUCKING NORTHBOUND ON 99,
THIS IS SLEEPY BEAR.
YOU GOT YOUR EARS ON?
Second man: THIS IS
BKA. WHAT'S THE WORD?
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE RIDING HEAVY.
IF THAT'S TRUE,
BETTER PULL OFF AT
152 AND GO AROUND.
THE COUNTY MOUNTIES
ARE OUT FOR BEAR
AT INSPECTION 190.
10-4, SLEEPY BEAR, CATCH
YOU ON THE FLIP FLOP.
KMA 70 OFF.
Man: BREAKER 1-9, BREAKER 1-9,
THIS IS OLD YELLER,
SOUTHBOUND ON 99.
FANCY FOOTWORK,
YOU STILL PULLING IN
AT COWSTAR ON ROUTE 5?
NEGATORY, OLD YELLER.
Woman, on CB: BREAKER
1-9, BREAKER 1-9.
HELLO, ALL YOU LONELY
TRUCKERS OUT THERE.
THIS IS THE WILD BUNCH CALLING
TO LET YOU KNOW WE'RE ON
THE HIGHWAY TO HAPPINESS.
Man, on CB: WELL, I'LL BE.
I WAS JUST THINKING TO MYSELF
I COULD USE SOME PILLOW TALK
TO GET ME THROUGH
THIS LONG NIGHT.
Second man: WHY DON'T
YOU SHUT UP, BREAKER,
AND LET THE WOMAN TALK?
Woman: NOW, BOYS, NO FIGHTING.
THERE'S ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE.
WE'RE HEADED FOR JOE'S COWSTAR
SOUTHBOUND JUST
PAST THE 78 EXCHANGE.
WE GOT A COUPLE OF
EXPERIENCED MECHANICS
DOWN HERE JUST WAITING
TO SERVICE YOUR BIG RIG.
WE'RE IN A COUNTRY
COMFORT CRUISER,
BEIGE WITH A BROWN STRIPE.
SEE YA!
HEY! WHAT THE
HELL'S GOING ON HERE?
LOOK, I'M VERY SORRY.
I'M BACKING UP HERE.
I MISJUDGED THE DISTANCE. UH...
YEAH? WELL, YOU OUGHT
TO BE MORE CAREFUL.
Woman: HEY, GINGER,
IT'S COLD IN HERE.
SHUT THE DOOR!
LOOK, WHY DON'T
YOU COME ON IN, HUH?
YEAH. OK.
LISTEN, I'M VERY SORRY
ABOUT YOUR MOTOR HOME.
I THOROUGHLY
INTEND TO PAY FOR IT.
IT'S A SMALL DENT.
OH, REALLY? HI.
YEAH. I'D LIKE TO
FORGO MY INSURANCE,
IF THAT'S OK WITH YOU,
AND MAYBE WE COULD
EXCHANGE PHONE NUMBERS
AND ADDRESSES. YOU
CAN SEND ME THE BILL.
LISTEN, AS LONG AS
IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS,
LET'S JUST FORGET IT.
NO, NO. I INSIST
ON PAYING FOR IT.
IT WAS MY FAULT, AND AFTER ALL,
I SHOULD PAY FOR IT.
LOOK, HONEY, I
DON'T OWN THIS RIG.
AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
I REALLY DON'T THINK
THE OWNER WANTS TO
EXCHANGE ADDRESSES WITH YOU.
SO SINCE IT'S NOT A BIG DENT,
LET'S FORGET ABOUT IT, OK?
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.
OK. THANKS.
UH...
WOULD YOU LIKE TO STICK AROUND?
Woman: STAY FOR A DRINK.
YEAH, MAYBE HAVE A DRINK.
WELL, MAYBE UNDER
NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES
I'D DO THAT, BUT, UH...
THE ACCIDENT SHOOK ME
UP A LITTLE BIT. THANKS.
WAYNE? GOOD
MORNING. IT'S HUNTER.
LISTEN, DO ME A FAVOR, WILL YOU?
I NEED AN ADDRESS
FOR THE FOLLOWING
PHONE NUMBER: 555...
555-7843.
SERGEANT HUNTER,
I GOT THE INFORMATION ON
THAT RV YOU ASKED ABOUT.
GREAT. YEAH.
IT'S REGISTERED
TO BAY INDUSTRIES,
POST OFFICE BOX 6629, HOLLYWOOD.
POST OFFICE BOX?
JIMMY, I NEED AN ADDRESS.
POST OFFICE BOX WON'T DO.
I'LL GET RIGHT ON IT.
VICE. NICHOLSON.
YEAH, NICK. IT'S HUNTER. I'M
LOOKING FOR A PROSTITUTE.
LAST TIME SHE WAS
ARRESTED WAS JUNE OF '86.
NAME WAS FLORENCE KEAN, K-E-A-N.
SHE IS CONNECTED WITH
THE PEOPLE WHO SHOT McCALL.
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU
SOON AS I GOT SOMETHING.
GREAT. APPRECIATE IT. I'M
IN THE COMPUTER ROOM NOW,
SO BUZZ ME RIGHT...
RIGHT STRAIGHT THROUGH.
HUNTER.
HUNTER.
YEAH, WAYNE. GREAT.
TERRIFIC. THAT HELPS
ME OUT VERY MUCH.
THANKS.
Man: I WAS WALKING
DOWN THE HALL,
AND THE DOOR WAS OPEN.
SAW THE 2 BODIES THERE,
AND THAT'S WHEN I CALLED YOU.
YOU'D BETTER GO TO THE HOSPITAL
AND HAVE THAT X-RAYED.
YEAH. I'LL GET RIGHT ON IT.
YOU LISTEN TO WHAT THE MAN SAYS.
YOU TAKE IT EASY.
THE DB'S NAME IS MARY LEKOWSKY.
WHOEVER SHOT HER WAS
STANDING BEHIND THAT DOOR
WHEN SHE CAME IN,
SHOT HER IN THE BACK.
UH, AMBROSE, MARY LEKOWSKY
IS THE REAL NAME OF A HOOKER
BY THE NAME OF VICKI LAKE.
THAT IS NOT VICKI LAKE.
SEE YA.
HEY, I ALREADY TOLD
YOU SHE HASN'T BEEN HERE
SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU CAME IN.
HEY, WHAT DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE DOING?
HEY, YOU JUST CAN'T
COME BARGING IN
A PLACE LIKE THIS.
GET OUT!
JERK.
LOOK, I'LL DO MY BEST, SERGEANT,
BUT I GOT A FEELING THAT VICKI
IS LONG GONE.
LOOK HERE, SPORTY,
VICKI KNOWS AN AWFUL LOT.
THAT'S WHY THEY'RE AFTER HER.
DO ME A FAVOR, WILL
YOU? STAY WITH ME ON THIS.
YOU KNOW I WILL.
THANKS.
Hunter: SO WHEN I CHECKED
OUT THE ADDRESS I HAD
FOR BAY INDUSTRIES,
I REALIZED IT WAS AN
ABANDONED BUILDING.
WELL, THEN I ASKED MYSELF,
"WHAT WOULD SERGEANT McCALL
DO IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS?"
SHE'D GET OUT THE
OLD WRAPPING PAPER
AND SEND THEM A PACKAGE
TO THE POST OFFICE BOX.
HI.
SORRY, NO SOLICITORS.
LOOK, I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU'RE SELLING.
I DON'T WANT ANY.
I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU COULD ANSWER
A QUESTION FOR ME.
HOW IS IT THAT A
LITTLE OFFICE LIKE THIS
COULD HOUSE WHAT APPEARS
TO BE ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S
LARGEST CONGLOMERATES?
I JUST WORK HERE, MISTER.
COULD I TALK TO YOUR BOSS?
YOU GOT A WARRANT?
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T,
I DON'T HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.
FREE WHEELING WHOLESALE.
UH... COULD YOU HOLD, PLEASE?
ARE YOU JUST GOING
TO STAND THERE?
BECAUSE IF YOU ARE,
I'M GOING TO HANG UP.
YOU'VE GOT 5 COMPANIES
IN AN OFFICE THAT BIG, JACK.
ONE OF THEM BELONGS TO
YOUR WIFE LOUISE HEMMINGS.
THE REST BELONG TO A
JOHN ARTHUR HEMMINGS.
THAT IS YOU, ISN'T IT?
MR. HEMMINGS' CORPORATE HOLDINGS
ARE A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD.
IF THIS IS SOME KIND OF A...
YOU'RE ALSO RUNNING HOOKERS
UP AND DOWN INTERSTATE
5 IN MOTOR HOMES, JACK.
THAT IS A DAMNED
LIE. IT'S ALSO SLANDER.
NOW, I RUN AN HONEST BUSINESS.
I'VE GOT A GOOD NAME
IN THIS COMMUNITY.
UNLESS YOU'RE HERE TO ARREST ME,
I WANT YOU OUT OF MY OFFICE.
YOU'RE A PIMP,
AND YOU'RE A MURDERER, JACK.
YOU PAID SOME PUNK
TO SHOOT MY PARTNER.
NOW I'M GOING TO GET YOU.
YOU GET OUT OF MY OFFICE.
CERTAINLY.
YOU GIVE A NEW
MEANING TO THE TERM
"RECREATIONAL VEHICLE," JACK.
CALL ME WHEN YOU
WANT TO CONFESS.
NICE SHOES.
YOU HEARD ME.
SHUT THE WHOLE THING DOWN.
FLORENCE... FLORENCE, LISTEN!
YOU WORK FOR ME.
NOW, YOU GET RID OF THE GIRLS
AND GET THE RVs BACK IN HERE.
WHAT THE HELL ABOUT
ANITA FARGO AND SUZIE Q?
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!
JUST GET RID OF THOSE
STINKING HOOKERS,
AND YOU MAKE SURE
YOU AND THE VEHICLES
ARE BACK HERE TONIGHT.
YOU GOT FRIENDS AT CITY HALL.
WOULD YOU USE THEM
AND GET THAT COP OFF MY BACK?
YEAH, I KNOW, BUT WE
GOTTA BE CAREFUL ABOUT THIS
BECAUSE YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE AN OFFICER
HARASSING AN INNOCENT
CITIZEN WITHOUT JUST CAUSE.
WELL... LOOK, I'M JUST
TRYING TO GET THE GUY
TO MAKE A MISTAKE, CHARLIE.
YOU KNOW THAT. COME ON.
MEANWHILE, BIG JACK'S GOT
ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS
DUMPING ON US.
NOW, I AGREE WITH YOUR THEORY.
LET'S JUST HOPE IT WORKS.
YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK LIKE
MY CAT AFTER A BAD NIGHT.
HAIRBALLS?
GO HOME AND GET SOME SLEEP.
NO.
SERGEANT HUNTER?
I'M LAURA DECKER.
I SAW YOU TODAY AT BIG JACK'S.
YEAH?
WELL, I HEARD WHAT
YOU SAID TO HIM.
I TOOK THIS STUFF
FROM HIS OFFICE.
I WANT TO HELP YOU GET HIM.
WHY IS THAT?
HE KILLED MY FATHER.
Laura: DAD AND MOM WERE
GOING TO SEE AMERICA,
BUT THEY HAD SO MUCH
TROUBLE WITH THAT DAMNED RV.
DAD FINALLY HAD IT CHECKED OUT.
IT TURNS OUT IT HAD BEEN SOLD
AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE.
DAD SUED.
AND RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE TRIAL,
HE HAD A HEART ATTACK AND DIED.
I CANCELED A TRIP I
HAD PLANNED TO PARIS
AND GOT A JOB WITH BIG JACK,
HOPING I'D FIND SOME
WAY TO MAKE HIM
PAY FOR WHAT HE DID.
WHEN YOU CAME IN TODAY,
I DECIDED I'D FOUND THE WAY.
THESE ARE HIS
IN-HOUSE ORIGINALS.
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN DOCTORED YET
BY HIS C.P.A.
YOU MEAN THE GUY IN HIS OFFICE?
YEAH. ROGER ADLER.
BIG JACK PAYS HIM A LOT OF MONEY
TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING ADDS UP.
NOW, WHAT ABOUT
BIG JACK'S WIFE LOUISE?
SHE'S ON RECORD AS THE OWNER
OF ONE OF HIS BUSINESSES.
PROBABLY A TAX SCAM.
LOUISE IS A REAL
CHEAP-LOOKING BIMBO
WHO CAN'T BALANCE HER CHECKBOOK,
LET ALONE RUN A COMPANY.
SHE'S IN NEW YORK RIGHT NOW.
JACK SENDS HER AWAY
A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR
TO HELP SUPPORT
THE FASHION INDUSTRY.
OK.
THIS IS GOOD.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CREAM?
YEAH. I'LL GET IT FOR YOU.
JACK FINDS OUT THESE,
UH, FILES ARE MISSING,
HE'S GOING TO COME
LOOKING FOR YOU.
I HIGHLY SUGGEST
YOU NOT GO BACK TO YOUR HOUSE
UNTIL THIS WHOLE
THING BLOWS OVER,
SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL STAY HERE.
OH, THANKS. THAT'S
REALLY NICE OF YOU,
BUT I CAN'T.
I'D BE IMPOSING.
YOU DON'T HAVE
MUCH CHOICE, HONEY.
YOU'RE IN DANGER.
UH, EXCUSE ME.
HELLO?
GREAT. I'LL PICK YOU
UP AT THE PRECINCT
IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES.
I'M GOING TO GO OUT
FOR ABOUT AN HOUR,
HOUR AND A HALF.
IF ANYBODY PHONES,
DON'T ANSWER IT.
IF ANYBODY KNOCKS ON
THE DOOR, CALL THE POLICE.
NOBODY KNOWS I'M HERE.
THAT'S FINE. JUST DO AS I SAY.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Hunter: NICE NEIGHBORHOOD, HUH?
WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?
SHE'S PROBABLY
PULLING IN 80,000 A YEAR,
AND ALL THAT'S TAX-FREE.
MMM.
YEP, THAT'S FLO.
SHE'S DEAD.
THIS IS L-56.
I'VE GOT A 187 VICTIM.
SUSPECT LAST SEEN
DRIVING A LATE-MODEL SEDAN
WITH THE LEFT
REAR TAILLIGHT OUT.
LAST SEEN HEADED EAST
ON GREEN CRAIG
AVENUE NEAR CANTOR.
DO YOU KNOW IT'S 5 A.M.?
WHOSE INITIALS ARE THESE?
THE BANK INSPECTOR'S.
SEE, DEALERS BUY
THEIR INVENTORIES
WITH BORROWED MONEY.
THEN WHEN THEY SELL A CAR...
OR AN RV IN THIS CASE...
THEY REPAY THE BANK.
THE INSPECTOR'S
INITIALS TELL THE BANK
THAT THE VEHICLE'S
STILL ON THE LOT UNSOLD.
ALL THESE LOAN AGREEMENTS SHOW
THAT THE RVs WERE SOLD BEFORE...
WEEKS BEFORE...
THESE PAGES WERE INITIALED.
WE GOT HIM.
HE'S OPERATING OUT OF TRUST.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
HE'S SELLING RVs,
AND HE'S NOT GIVING
THE BANK THEIR MONEY.
IT PROBABLY AMOUNTS TO
MILLIONS OF THE BANK'S DOLLARS.
BIG JACK PLAYS THE STOCK
MARKET ALL DAY LONG.
I'VE HEARD HIM BUYING OPTIONS,
COMMODITIES, WARRANTS...
RICK, IF WE TAKE
THIS TO THE BANK,
WE'VE GOT HIM.
WE TAKE THIS TO THE BANK,
YOU'LL BE ARRESTED FOR THEFT.
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
WHAT HAPPENS TO
BIG JACK'S BUSINESS
IF HIS RVs STOP COMING IN?
WELL, HIS WHOLE SCAM
DEPENDS ON TURNOVER...
RVs COMING IN AS FAST
AS THEY'RE GOING OUT.
YOU CUT OFF HIS
SUPPLY, AND HE'S HAD IT.
WHERE DOES THE SUPPLY COME FROM?
THEY'RE ALL FROM COUNTRY
COMFORT DOWN IN SAN DIEGO.
THEY'VE GOT A BIG PLANT
RIGHT NEAR THE
BORDER IN EL MIRAGE.
OK.
I'M GOING TO THE HOSPITAL,
AND THEN I'M GOING TO EL MIRAGE
FOR SOME SLEEP.
CAN SERGEANT McCALL
COME OUT AND PLAY?
McCall: HI.
HOW YOU DOING?
OK.
YOU KNOW, YOU MAY
NOT SEE ME TOMORROW.
I GOT TO GO DOWN TO SAN DIEGO.
WHY SAN DIEGO?
WELL, I'LL TALK TO YOU
ABOUT THAT WHEN I GET BACK
FROM SAN DIEGO.
HOW'S IT GOING?
I CAN'T FEEL ANYTHING
YET, YOU KNOW.
WELL, THE DOCTOR SAID
IT'D TAKE ABOUT A WEEK
FOR ALL THE
SWELLING TO CLEAR UP.
THEN WHAT?
DR. PARKER, 3 NORTH.
DR. PARKER, 3 NORTH, PLEASE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
