Hunter (1984–1991): Season 3, Episode 5 - High Noon in L.A. - full transcript

I AM CARLOS MARIANO. RAUL
MARIANO WAS MY BROTHER.

HE BEAT ME UP AND RAPED ME.

I'M GOING TO KILL YOU.

YOU SO MUCH AS GO
FOR YOUR HANDKERCHIEF,

I'M GOING TO PUT A BULLET
RIGHT THROUGH YOUR HEAD.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

I THINK EVERYONE IS
OVERREACTING TO THIS THING.

MARIANO HAS FULL
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.

YOU HAVE A LICENSE TO KILL.

YOU CAN POP ME
ANYTIME, ANYPLACE.

I DON'T LIKE THAT.



THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING
ME. ISN'T IT KILLING YOU?

OH, BOY, IS THAT LOW.

WHAT?

THERE'S A WOMAN WHO JUST THREW
HER TRASH OFF THE FIRE ESCAPE.

IT LANDED DOWN IN THE ALLEY.

WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?

I MEAN, WHY CAN'T WE BE
STAKING OUT SOME SOCIETY KILLER

AT A POLO MATCH OR SOMETHING?

THEY DON'T HAVE POLO
MATCHES AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING.

3:00? IT'S ONLY 3:00?

OH, GIVE ME A BREAK.

WHAT'S THAT?

I'LL TELL YOU IN JUST A SECOND.

HE'S NOT OUR BOY.



YOU SURE?

LOOKIT, THEY CALL LITTLE
COSMO "LITTLE COSMO"

BECAUSE HE'S 6'5" TALL.

WHAT WE'RE SEEING
HERE IS A 4'9" WINO.

YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM WITH
THESE KILLER DRUG DEALERS?

THEY'RE TOTALLY UNRELIABLE.

DID WE OR DID WE NOT

GET IT FROM AN
UNIMPEACHABLE SOURCE?

SPORTY JAMS IS A VERY
PEACHABLE SOURCE.

HA. WELL, HE KNOWS NOT
TO CRY WOLF. HE KNOWS THAT.

I TELL YOU, IT'S A
LOW-CLASS KILLER

WHO'D KEEP HIS
GIRLFRIEND WAITING.

SERGEANT HUNTER.

YOU ARE SERGEANT HUNTER?

YES, I AM.

I AM CARLOS MARIANO.

I'M SURE YOU RECALL THE NAME.

RAUL MARIANO WAS MY BROTHER,

WAS MY FAVORITE BROTHER.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?
WHY ARE YOU HERE?

AH, YOU WILL BE SERGEANT McCALL.

I AM THE CULTURAL ATTACHE
WITH THE CURUGUAYAN EMBASSY.

DOES MY PRESENCE DISTURB YOU?

THAT DEPENDS ON WHY YOU'RE HERE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOU.

ONLY FOR A MOMENT.

PERHAPS YOU CAN GUESS WHY.

NO, I CAN'T.

I'M GOING TO KILL YOU.

I THOUGHT THAT YOU SHOULD
BE PROPERLY INFORMED.

YOU WANT TO TRY IT NOW?

NO, NO, NO, NO, PLEASE,
SEÑORITA. NOT NOW.

IN MY OWN GOOD TIME, AND I
WILL GIVE YOU GENEROUS WARNING.

LET ME GIVE YOU
GENEROUS WARNING.

I DON'T LIKE DEATH THREATS.

I TAKE THEM VERY SERIOUSLY.

YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS
SERIOUSLY, SERGEANT HUNTER...

VERY SERIOUSLY.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHOOT ME
INSTEAD OF PLAYING THESE KID GAMES?

I WOULD NOT EXPECT
YOU TO UNDERSTAND.

HOW I KILL YOU IS A MATTER
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.

IT IS A MATTER OF HONOR.

I WILL NOT KILL YOU THE
WAY YOU KILLED MY BROTHER...

DEFENSELESS,

UNAWARE, AND HELPLESS.

DEFENSELESS AND UNAWARE?

YOUR BROTHER WAS
A RAPIST AND A KILLER.

WHY DON'T YOU GET IN YOUR LIMO
AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE?

OK, JUST RELAX, JUST
FOR A MINUTE HERE.

IF I SEE YOU AGAIN, YOU SO MUCH
AS GO FOR YOUR HANDKERCHIEF,

I'M GOING TO PUT A BULLET
RIGHT THROUGH YOUR HEAD.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

NOW, THAT'S SOMETHING I LEARNED
FROM YOUR MURDERING BROTHER.

YOU WILL HEAR FROM ME.

A POSTCARD WILL DO.

THIS ISN'T FUNNY.

WHO THE HELL'S LAUGHING?

SO WHY DON'T WE CUFF THE GUY

AND TAKE HIM UPSTAIRS?

YOU HEARD HIM. HE'S AN ATTACHE.

HE'S PROBABLY GOT
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.

HA! HERE WE GO AGAIN.

LET'S GO FIND OUT.

WHAT'S THE AREA CODE FOR D.C.?

202.

IS THERE ANYTHING ON COSMO YET?

NO, NOT YET.

YES, I NEED THE NUMBER OF THE
UNITED STATES STATE DEPARTMENT,

OFFICE OF...

LOOK, McCALL, WE
GOT TO GET THIS GUY.

HE'S TOO DAMN SCARY TO
HAVE OUT THERE ON THE STREET.

Hunter: YES, YOU CAN.

WELL?

THEY HAVE TO CALL BACK.

HUNTER, YOU'RE STAKING OUT
COSMO AGAIN TONIGHT, RIGHT?

YEAH. ONLY IF I GET SOME SLEEP,

AND IF McCALL MAKES A
BATCH OF POTATO POOPIES.

BE CAREFUL.

OF WHAT?

YOU KNOW OF WHAT.

LASH LA RUE? COME
ON. HE'S ALL SMOKE.

YOU'RE SO MACHO.

SLEEP TIGHT.

BUCKLE UP.

SO, DID YOU GET SOME
SLEEP LAST NIGHT?

I TRIED.

HOW YOU DOING?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, I MEAN THIS CARLOS DEAL.

I MEAN, HE'S NOT DREDGING UP
BAD MEMORIES FOR YOU, IS HE?

YEAH, WELL, MY
PROBLEMS ARE IN THE PAST.

YOU KNOW, HE DIDN'T SAY HE
WAS GOING TO TRY TO KILL ME.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE. HE'S
NOT GOING TO KILL ANYBODY.

I MEAN, HE'S... HE'S
CONDUCTING HIMSELF HERE

LIKE SOME SORT OF SOUTH
AMERICAN FRATERNITY PRANK.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE KIDDING?

I BET YOU 5 BUCKS YOU
WENT HOME LAST NIGHT

AND CLEANED YOUR
GUN FOR AN HOUR.

15 MINUTES.

YOU THINK HE'S WORKING
ON THIS BY HIMSELF?

MMM, MY GUESS IS HIS
FATHER... THE GENERALISSIMO...

KNOWS ABOUT IT,
MAYBE EVEN ORDERED IT.

IF HE'S WORKING ON THIS ALONE,

MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO GO TALK
TO THE CURUGUAYAN CONSUL.

NO, I'M NOT GOING TO TALK
TO THE CURUGUAYAN CONSUL.

THAT IS A DEAD END.
THAT IS A WASTE OF TIME.

REMEMBER THE LAST TIME?

I'M GOING TO GO TALK TO HIM.

HEY.

A LOT OF HEADROOM IN THAT CAR.

THINK IT'S COSMO?

LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK.

Hunter: GET OUT OF HERE!

MOVE IT! GO HOME!

FREEZE RIGHT THERE! POLICE!

UP AGAINST THE WALL.
COME ON, MOVE IT.

COME ON, OVER HERE.

THAT-A-BOY. SPREAD 'EM OUT.

OH. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

KERWIN SIPES. I... I LIVE HERE.

KERWIN SIPES. WELL,
MR. SIPES, I APOLOGIZE.

I THINK WE GOT THE WRONG GUY.

HEY, COP.

YOU LOOKING FOR COSMO?

HE AIN'T SO STUPID HE'S
GOING TO SHOW UP HERE.

LADY, IF YOU KNOW COSMO,
PLEASE TELL HIM THIS.

WE HAVE TO CATCH HIM, OTHERWISE
WE'RE GOING TO LOSE OUR JOBS.

THANK YOU. GOOD NIGHT.

Dee Dee: MR. SIPES,
IT WAS A MISTAKE.

WE'RE VERY SORRY. SORRY.

OH, WORDS ARE CHEAP, LADY.

YOU SLAMMED ME
UP AGAINST THE WALL.

YOU... YOU FRISK ME, AND
THEN YOU SAY YOU'RE SORRY?

YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DAMN SORRY.

I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU
BOTH UP ON CHARGES.

OH, WELL, LET'S
SEE. KERWIN SIPES.

SIPES, SIPES, SIPES, SIPES.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS A
VERY FAMILIAR NAME.

SIPES, YEAH.

YEAH, I KNOW THAT NAME.

WE SHOULD PROBABLY RUN...

LOOK, LOOK...

ANYONE CAN MAKE A
MISTAKE NOW AND THEN.

LET'S BOTH JUST
FORGIVE AND FORGET, OK?

YEAH. OK, KERWIN, WE'LL
FORGIVE AND FORGET,

BUT I HIGHLY
RECOMMEND THE NEXT TIME

SOMEONE OFFERS YOU
A SINCERE APOLOGY,

YOU ACCEPT IT, HUH?

YEAH, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

I... WE'RE BOTH SORRY, RIGHT?

GOOD. YEAH.

STILL NOTHING ON COSMO?

NOTHING ON COSMO.

WELL, MARIANO HAS FULL
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY, AS WE THOUGHT.

EITHER OF YOU GUYS CALL THE
OFFICE OF PROTOCOL IN WASHINGTON?

YEAH, I DID.

YOU TWO WANT TO
COME INTO MY OFFICE?

WHO THE HELL IS CARLOS MARIANO?

WELL, IT HAPPENED 6
MONTHS OR SO AGO, CHARLIE.

BEFORE YOU CAME
INTO THE DEPARTMENT.

IT'S A VERY LONG STORY.

MAKE IT A SHORT
STORY AND TELL IT NOW.

LAST YEAR THERE WAS A RAPE/HOMICIDE
AT THE CURUGUAYAN CONSULATE.

RAUL MARIANO WAS THE ATTACHE.

RELATED HOW TO THIS ONE?

HIS BROTHER.

WHEN I INTERROGATED
HIM AT THE CONSULATE,

HE TRIED TO MAKE A DATE WITH ME.

I TURNED HIM DOWN.

GUY SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE...

AND, UH...

HE BEAT ME UP...

AND RAPED ME.

I'M SORRY TO BRING UP
PAINFUL MEMORIES, DEE DEE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GUY?

WELL, HE HAD DIPLOMATIC
IMMUNITY, CHARLIE.

I PUNCHED HIM OUT, AND
HE SHOWS UP AT MY HOUSE

A COUPLE OF HOURS
LATER, AND HE SHOOTS ME.

AND MARIANO?

THE EMBASSY HUSTLED
HIM BACK TO CURUGUAY.

END OF STORY?

YOU DIDN'T GO DOWN THERE
TO CURUGUAY AFTER HIM?

CAPTAIN, THEY DIDN'T CHARGE HIM WITH
A THING WHEN HE GOT BACK DOWN THERE!

HE KILLED A WOMAN HERE, HE RAPED
ME, PRACTICALLY KILLED HUNTER.

IF EVER THERE WAS
A WALKING ARGUMENT

FOR SUMMARY EXECUTION,
THIS GUY WAS IT.

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS. YOU WENT
DOWN THERE AND KILLED HIM?

CHARLIE, THE GUY WAS GOING
TO SHOOT ME IN THE BACK.

SO, RATHER THAN GIVE HIM A
SECOND OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT,

YEAH, I KILLED HIM.

HIS FATHER, GENERAL MARIANO,

DIDN'T WANT ALL THIS STUFF
COMING OUT ABOUT HIS SON,

SO HE INVENTED SOME KIND OF COVER-UP
AND SAID THE GUY WAS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT.

WHAT ABOUT THIS CARLOS MARIANO?

WELL, HE SHOWS UP IN THE
PARKING LOT YESTERDAY,

THREATENS MY LIFE IN
FRONT OF SERGEANT McCALL.

MARIANO HAS FULL
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.

IF HE HAULS OFF AND SHOOTS
YOU, THE BEST WE CAN DO

IS ASK HIS COUNTRY TO GIVE
HIM A FREE PLANE RIDE BACK HOME.

I KNOW THAT, CHARLIE. I PLAN
TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

LIKE HELL YOU DO.

I'M GOING TO CALL
THE STATE DEPARTMENT

AND HAVE THEM HANDLE THIS.

WAIT A MINUTE. COME ON, CHARLIE.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT
IS A WASTE OF TIME.

BELIEVE ME, THEY
HAVE OTHER PRIORITIES.

SUPPOSE I TELL
YOU TO IGNORE HIM.

I THINK UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES, CHARLIE,

YOU WON'T ASK ME THAT.

AS WAS REPORTED IN ALL THE
CURUGUAYAN NEWSPAPERS,

RAUL MARIANO WAS
KILLED TRAGICALLY

IN A HUNTING ACCIDENT.

AND AS TO THESE STORIES
THAT YOU CHOOSE TO TELL

ABOUT A MEMBER OF
THE PRESIDENTIAL FAMILY,

WELL, I CANNOT IMAGINE
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU...

A WOMAN IN YOUR
POSITION, SEÑORITA McCALL...

TO SAY SUCH THINGS!

HOW ABOUT THE TRUTH? IS THAT
ENOUGH MOTIVATION FOR YOU?

THE TRUTH.

HAVE IT YOUR WAY,
SEÑORITA McCALL.

IT IS NOT MY WAY.
IT'S THE TRUTH!

LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU, HUH?

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR
CUSHY LITTLE JOB HERE

IF SERGEANT HUNTER IS
FORCED TO KILL YOUR BOSS' SON?

IF SEÑOR HUNTER SO MUCH AS
APPROACHES CARLOS MARIANO,

WE WILL HAVE YOUR
STATE DEPARTMENT

TAKE THE NECESSARY
STEPS TO DEAL WITH HIM,

AND I SUGGEST THAT YOU PLEAD
WITH SEÑOR HUNTER AND NOT WITH ME.

HAVE YOU TALKED
TO CARLOS MARIANO?

OF COURSE!

WOULD YOU LIKE
TO SPEAK WITH HIM?

YEAH, I WOULD.

WELL, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO
GO FAR TO GET HIM, DID YOU?

DO YOU KNOW THIS WOMAN?

YES. IN VIEW OF SERGEANT HUNTER'S
PRIOR RELATIONSHIP WITH MY FAMILY,

I PAID HIM A COURTESY
VISIT AT HIS PLACE OF WORK,

AND SEÑORITA
McCALL WAS WITH HIM.

YEAH. THE MOST COURTEOUS
DEATH THREAT I EVER HEARD.

THAT IS HER CLAIM, CARLITO.

DID YOU MAKE ANY SUCH THREAT?

CERTAINLY NOT.

COME ON, CARLOS. YOU'RE
BLOWING YOUR WHOLE ACT.

WHAT ABOUT ALL THAT
TALK ABOUT HONOR?

I'M AFRAID THAT MY PRESENCE
DISTURBS THE SEÑORITA.

I MADE NO THREATS.

PERHAPS YOU NEED THE
HELP OF A PROFESSIONAL

WHO DEALS IN EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS.

SEÑORITA McCALL, I AM
TRYING TO BE HELPFUL.

YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE
NOT MAKING IT, PAL,

BUT YOU ARE GIVING ME A
GREAT LESSON IN DIPLOMACY.

ALL LIFE IS AN
EDUCATION, SEÑORITA.

BY THE WAY, MR. MARIANO,

YOUR BROTHER WAS A CREEP,
AND HE DESERVED TO DIE.

HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?

I CAN GET IN ANYPLACE.

LET'S TALK, CARLOS.

NO, NO, NO, CARLOS.

SIT DOWN.

YOU HAVE ME AT A
GREAT DISADVANTAGE...

UNARMED AND NAKED.

CARLOS, YOU HAVE
A LICENSE TO KILL.

YOU CAN POP ME ANYPLACE,
ANYTIME. I DON'T LIKE THAT.

I DO NOT INTEND TO POP
YOU, SERGEANT HUNTER.

I INTEND TO GIVE YOU EVERY
OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND YOURSELF.

ONLY THEN WILL I KILL YOU.

CARLOS, I AM NOT GOING TO PLAY

YOUR CHILDISH GAME WITH YOU.

YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO.

YOU'RE GOING TO GO
DOWN TO THE AIRPORT,

AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET
ON AN AIRPLANE FOR CURUGUAY,

AND YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO COME BACK.

IF YOU DON'T GET
ON THE AIRPLANE,

I'M GOING TO SHOOT YOU.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO THAT.

NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT?

I AM A MAN OF ACTION,
NOT OF WORDS.

SO AM I.

THEN GOOD DAY.

OHH.

YOU BETTER BE ON THAT AIRPLANE.

OH. CALLED YOU THIS MORNING.

YOU WEREN'T HOME.
WHERE WERE YOU?

WELL, I PAID A NICE
MORNING VISIT TO LASH LA RUE

AND TOLD HIM TO GET OUT OF TOWN,

OR I WOULD PUNCH
HIS TICKET FOR HIM.

HUNTER, THAT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA.

YOU COULD SPEND
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

IN THE GLASS HOUSE, YOU KNOW?

DID HE LISTEN TO YOU?

I HOPE SO, FOR HIS SAKE.

HUNTER.

Man: HEY, HUNTER? MAN!

JOEY! JOEY, JOEY, HOW YOU DOING?

LITTLE COSMO'S GOT TO SEE A GUY

ABOUT SOME MONEY HE
NEEDS TO GET OUT OF TOWN.

SO IF YOU WANT TO GET
HIM BEFORE HE SPLITS,

THIS IS GOING TO BE
YOUR ONLY CHANCE.

WHERE DO I FIND HIM?

HOW ABOUT, UH...

UH, HOW ABOUT...
HOW... HOW ABOUT 500?

NO. 200 IF HE SHOWS.

Joey: THIS IS
DANGEROUS STUFF, MAN.

I THINK IT'S WORTH SOMETHING

RISKING GETTING ON THE
WRONG SIDE OF COSMO.

400 BUCKS. THAT'S
IT, JOEY. WHERE IS HE?

OH, YOU'RE MY MAN!

YOU'RE MY MAN!

OK. THERE'S ONLY THIS.

NOW, I WANT TO SEE
THE MONEY FIRST.

YOU BRING ME THE MONEY.

I'LL TAKE YOU TO HIM, OK?

IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY, JOEY.

YOU GOT TO DELIVER HIM FIRST.

THIS IS SPECIAL, HUNTER.

I MEAN, YOU WANT HIM, YOU
MEET ME FIRST WITH THE MONEY.

OK? AND I DON'T WANT
TO BE SEEN TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW THAT
FACTORY MY... MY UNCLE...

YEAH, THE ONE THAT
THE I.N.S. SHUT DOWN?

YOU MEET ME THERE, AND
COSMO'S ALL YOURS, OK?

GOT IT. OK, BUDDY.

GIVE ME THE MONEY!

WHERE'S THE REST?

AFTER HUNTER APPEARS,
YOU WILL GET THE REST.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, MAN.
I JUST CROSSED RICK HUNTER.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
LEAVE THIS TOWN FAR BEHIND.

AFTER TONIGHT,
HUNTER WILL BE DEAD.

ALL THE MORE
REASON I GOT TO SPLIT.

GOT TO SPLIT, MAN!

GIVE ME THE MONEY! GIVE ME THE
MONEY RIGHT NOW, OR THE DEAL IS OFF!

I'M GOING TO CALL HIM RIGHT NOW,

AND I'M GOING TO CALL
THE WHOLE THING OFF.

JOEY!

JOEY!

JOEY!

Carlos: HUNTER!

CARLOS, ARE YOU STILL IN TOWN?

SO, YOU DECIDED TO STAY AND
GIVE ME A SURPRISE PARTY, HUH?

YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE?

NO. I THINK THAT'S A .44 MAGNUM.

YOU HAVE A GUN?

WELL, COME ON. YOU KNOW POLICE
OFFICERS ALWAYS CARRY GUNS.

IS THE SAFETY ON?

I'LL LET YOU WONDER ABOUT THAT.

YOUR CHOICE, MY FRIEND.

IN 15 SECONDS, I INTEND
TO DRAW MY GUN AND SHOOT.

IF YOU WANT TO TRY FOR
YOUR GUN SOONER, DO SO.

CARLOS, YOU'VE SEEN WAY
TOO MANY JOHN WAYNE MOVIES.

HONOR DOES NOT GO OUT OF STYLE,

AND IF ONE IS A MAN OF HONOR,

THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT
CAN ONLY BE SETTLED THIS WAY.

YOU HAVE 10 MORE SECONDS.

I ALSO LIKE THE WAY YOUR EYES
NARROW, JUST LIKE THE DUKE.

THAT'S VERY GOOD.

WHY DON'T YOU DRAW?

I DON'T WANT TO KILL
YOU IN COLD BLOOD,

BUT IF YOU INSIST ON
BEING A COWARD, I WILL.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE DEAD
IN 10 SECONDS, CARLOS.

NO. YOU WILL BE
DEAD IN 5 SECONDS.

I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE A GUN.

SO DO I.

THEN PROVE IT!

NO. YOU SEE, I'M AFRAID NOT.

I DON'T HAVE
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.

YOUR TIME IS DONE.

MOVE IT!

UP AGAINST THE BOXES.

MOVE IT!

YOU ARE A MAN
TOTALLY WITHOUT HONOR.

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
LISTENING TO A WORD I'VE SAID.

ALL I HEAR IS THE
WHIMPERING OF A COWARD.

YEAH? WELL, LET'S WHIMPER
ON DOWN TO THE SQUAD CAR.

MOVE!

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

NO. NO. I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.

THEY'RE GOING TO RELEASE HIM.

SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

WE CAN'T HOLD HIM
WITHOUT THE CONSULATE'S OK.

THEY SAY NO.

I'M GOING TO CALL WASHINGTON, HAVE
SOMEONE COME DOWN HERE TOMORROW.

WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS
THING SETTLED. THAT GUY'S A NUT!

YEAH. YOU DO THAT, CHARLIE.

I THINK EVERYONE IS
OVERREACTING TO THIS THING.

OVERREACTING?

FIRST, YOU DO NOT CHARGE A MAN
WITH FULL DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.

YOU CAN DETAIN HIM, BUT
YOU CANNOT CHARGE HIM.

THE MAN'S LUCKY
I DIDN'T KILL HIM.

AND YOU'LL BE LUCKY IF
THE CURUGUAYAN EMBASSY

DOESN'T FILE HARASSMENT
CHARGES AGAINST YOU, SERGEANT.

SO I SUGGEST YOU STAY ON
THE LISTENING END OF THIS.

THIS GUY MARIANO... HE CAN'T
BE COMPLETELY ABOVE THE LAW.

SUPPOSE HE WASTED 20
PEOPLE IN PERSHING SQUARE.

WE'D DEMAND THAT HIS
COUNTRY RECALL HIM.

THAT DOESN'T WORK.
I'VE GONE THROUGH THAT.

WE'D MAKE HIM PERSONA NON GRATA,

AND HE'D BE OUT OF HERE.

GOOD. MAKE HIM
PERSONA NON GRATA,

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
TO KILL THIS GUY, CHARLIE.

YOU'D BETTER NOT KILL HIM.

CURUGUAY IS A COUNTRY

OF ENORMOUS STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE
TO UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY.

SO MAYBE YOU BETTER
HAVE THIS GUY MARIANO

DECLARED PERSONA NON GRATA
BEFORE THINGS GET OUT OF HAND.

WHY?

WHAT HAS THE MAN DONE?

HE'S MOUTHED OFF A LITTLE,

FLASHED A GUN FOR WHICH
HE DOES HAVE A PERMIT.

HE'S A SOLDIER-HUNTER, A MAN WHO
LEARNED TO SWAGGER AT AN EARLY AGE.

IT WOULD BE BEST FOR YOU
AND BEST FOR YOUR COUNTRY

IF YOU WOULD JUST IGNORE HIM.

HE'S NOT GOING TO LET ME
IGNORE HIM. DON'T YOU GET IT?

WE'VE GOT A BIG PROBLEM
HERE, CHARLIE. I MEAN, A BIG ONE!

WHAT IS IT?

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
BELIEVE WHO'S FOLLOWING US.

GREAT!

GET OUT OF THE CAR!

COME ON!

MOVE IT!

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ARREST ME.

I KNOW THAT. DON'T I
KNOW THAT? SPREAD THEM!

WE GOT COMPANY.
STAY RIGHT THERE!

GET OUT OF THE CAR!

COME ON!

I'M A MEMBER OF THE CURUGUAYAN
DIPLOMATIC LEGATION, SIR.

GOOD! TURN AROUND!

OH, I SEE YOU PEOPLE CARRY YOUR
HONOR WITH YOU, CARLOS, HUH?

HOLD IT!

SPEAK ENGLISH, WILL YOU?

WHO ARE YOU?

I AM COLONEL HECTOR RAMIREZ

OF THE CURUGUAYAN
SECOND CALVARY UNIT.

OH. YOU'RE HERE
ON MANEUVERS, HUH?

WHAT I AM DOING HERE IS
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, SEÑOR.

CONCEALED WEAPONS AND
RECKLESS DRIVING ARE MY BUSINESS.

I AM A PART OF THE
CONSULATE STAFF, SEÑOR.

OH, YOU'RE PART OF THE
CONSULATE STAFF, NOT THE EMBASSY?

THE CONSULATE
STAFF, THAT IS CORRECT.

DO ME A FAVOR AND
TELL HIM THE BAD NEWS?

WE HAPPEN TO BE EXPERTS
ON DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.

THE BAD NEWS IS THAT
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

YEAH. TURN AROUND. COME ON.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

COME ON!

I HAVE NO REASON TO ASSIST
YOU. I DON'T WANT YOU HERE.

AND IN ANY CASE, THE YOUNG
LADY HAD A GUN POINTED AT ME.

I WILL TELL YOUR FATHER THAT A
WOMAN PREVENTED YOU FROM HELPING ME.

WOULD HAVE PREVENTED YOU, TOO.

TELL MY FATHER THERE IS NO
NEED TO SEND ANYONE TO ASSIST ME.

I AM HERE BY MY OWN CHOICE,

AND I WILL DO WHAT HAS TO
BE DONE BY MY OWN RULES.

PUT HIM IN THE CAR.

AND WHAT ABOUT ME?

OH, YOU SEE, CARLOS, YOU CAN GO.

YOU'VE GOT DIPLOMATIC
IMMUNITY, REMEMBER?

AND MY GUN?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND
BY NOW, HUNTER,

THAT I AM NOTHING
IF NOT SERIOUS.

I'M GOING TO KEEP YOUR GUN.

YOU THINK THAT BY TAKING THE
GUN YOU CAN AVOID FACING ME.

YOU SHOULD HAVE
GOT ON THAT AIRPLANE.

LOUISE!

THIS IS COLONEL HECTOR RAMIREZ.

I WANT YOU TO BOOK
HIM ON RECKLESS DRIVING,

CARRYING A CONCEALED
WEAPON, RESISTING ARREST,

AND ASSAULT ON A POLICE OFFICER.

PUT HIM IN A
HOLDING CELL FOR ME.

I'M GOING TO GO SEE A MAN
ABOUT A DEPORTATION ORDER.

SEÑOR HUNTER.

IF I LEAVE,

THERE WILL BE SOMEONE
TO REPLACE ME IN 24 HOURS.

YOU ARE ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING.

ARE YOU FRIENDS
WITH GENERAL MARIANO?

I AM ON HIS PERSONAL STAFF, YES.

GOOD. I WANT YOU
TO DO ME A FAVOR.

TELL HIM TO SEND HIS
SON A TICKET HOME.

OTHERWISE, I WILL SEND HIS
SON BACK TO HIM IN A BODY BAG.

YOU SOUND VERY CONFIDENT.

VERY. PERHAPS TOO CONFIDENT.

CARLOS MARIANO IS A
DISTINGUISHED GRADUATE

OF OUR ACADEMIA MILITAR.

HE HAS WON HONORS IN
MARTIAL ARTS AND MARKSMANSHIP.

THERE IS NO ONE...

I MEAN, NO ONE... IN THE CURUGUAYAN
ARMY WHO CAN MATCH HIM.

AS HIS BROTHER DISTINGUISHED
HIMSELF IN THE FINE ARTS,

CARLOS HAS DISTINGUISHED
HIMSELF IN THE MANLY ARTS.

I WOULD NOT BE SO CAVALIER
IF I WERE YOU, SEÑOR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

LISTEN, YOU KNOW,
MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO GO

ON UP TO MONTANA OR SOMETHING...

GO ON A LITTLE FISHING TRIP.

MONTANA? WHAT DO YOU
GOT AGAINST MONTANA?

THAT'S NOT GOING TO DO ANY GOOD.

HE'S GOING TO GO
UP THERE AND FIND ME,

OR HE'S GOING TO
WAIT TILL I GET BACK.

NO. I THINK THE
BEST WAY TO DO THIS

IS JUST TO MEET THE GUY

ON SUNSET BOULEVARD
AT HIGH NOON.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

YOU PUT TOGETHER A POKER
GAME WITH 6 OF YOUR BUDDIES,

FOR WITNESSES, YOU KNOW?

I'LL BLOW HIM AWAY.

YOU'RE ALWAYS SO PRACTICAL.

THERE HE IS. THAT'S COSMO.

NO! DON'T HIT ME!

I GIVE UP, MAN.

NONE OF THAT.

TURN AROUND.

COME ON! SPREAD THEM OUT!

HEY, HUNTER!

YOU GOT HIM!

YEP.

GOOD. GOOD WORK.

THANKS A MILLION.

NOW WE GET TO GO
ON TO THE NEXT CASE.

HOW COME YOU'RE STILL
ALIVE? CARLOS GIVE UP?

THAT'S VERY FUNNY.
WELL, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY,

I HAVEN'T SEEN THE GUY
IN THE LAST 6 OR 7 HOURS.

YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY SHOULD
THINK ABOUT GOING SOME PLACE.

OH, I AM. I'M GOING HOME TO BED.

GOOD NIGHT.

HEY, HUNTER?

YEAH?

LISTEN, WHY DON'T YOU COME
SLEEP AT MY HOUSE TONIGHT, HUH?

YOU COULD STAY ON THE COUCH.
IT'S NICE, CUSHY... IT'S REAL COMFY.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CORNER THIS
GUY'S GOING TO COME POPPING OUT OF.

CARLOS IS NOT GOING TO COME
POPPING OUT OF ANY CORNER.

HE'S NOT GOING TO POP
OUT OF A TREE ON TOP OF ME.

THAT WOULDN'T BE HONORABLE.

CARLOS THINKS THIS IS
DODGE CITY, NOT LOS ANGELES.

GOOD NIGHT.

LOCK UP, OK?

OH, CARLOS, YOU DISAPPOINT ME.

HEY, JUST A SECOND.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF THAT.

WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE GOOD OLD-FASHIONED

WESTERN SHOOTOUT IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE STREET, HUH?

THAT'S FUNNY, CARLOS.

I WAS JUST TELLING MY PARTNER
HOW HONORABLE YOU WERE.

WE'RE NOT BEING
FOLLOWED, HUNTER.

I NEEDED THOSE MEN
TO GET YOU INTO THE CAR.

YOU WILL NOT BE
SEEING THEM AGAIN.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, HUNTER?

SUDDENLY THIS IS NOT
SO AMUSING TO YOU, HUH?

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?

YOU WILL KNOW SOON ENOUGH.

SO, NOW WHAT HAPPENS?

NOW WE WAIT FOR DAYLIGHT.

HIGH NOON, HUH?

JUST DAYLIGHT.

I WANT YOU TO SEE
ME WHEN IT HAPPENS,

AND I WANT TO SEE YOU.

YOU KNOW, CAMPING IS SOMETHING

I NEVER QUITE GOT
AROUND TO DOING.

YOU'RE REGAINING
YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR.

I'M OPTIMISTIC.

AIR'S FRESH OUT HERE.

NOBODY'S DEAD YET,

AND WE HAVE THE REST
OF THE NIGHT TO TALK.

THERE IS NO NEED TO TALK.

AFRAID YOU MIGHT
LEARN SOMETHING?

I AM AFRAID OF NOTHING
THAT YOU MIGHT SAY.

WELL, AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T
KILL ME IN COLD BLOOD.

DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO
UNDERSTAND, IS IT NOT?

YOU KNOW, CARLOS, WHEN I
WENT DOWN TO CURUGUAY,

I WAS GOING TO KILL YOUR
BROTHER THE FIRST CHANCE I GOT...

WALK RIGHT UP TO HIM
AND PULL THE TRIGGER.

WHICH YOU DID.

NO! THAT'S NOT WHAT I DID!

I GAVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY
TO DEFEND HIMSELF.

JUST LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY
YOU'RE GIVING ME.

I AM NOT INTERESTED
IN YOUR APOLOGIES.

BUT HE REFUSED THAT OPPORTUNITY.

AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED I
COULD NOT KILL A HUMAN BEING

IN COLD BLOOD, CARLOS.

WITH ALL THE FRUSTRATION
AND ALL THE ANGER

AND ALL THE PLANNING AND THE
FEELINGS OF REVENGE THAT I HAD,

THERE I WAS WITH MY AUTOMATIC
PISTOL JAMMED IN YOUR BROTHER'S FACE,

AND I COULD NOT
PULL THE TRIGGER.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HONOR.

IT HAD EVERYTHING TO
DO WITH ME REALIZING

THAT I WAS A
CIVILIZED HUMAN BEING.

WELL, WITH THOSE FEELINGS,
I TURNED AND WALKED AWAY,

AND THAT'S WHEN YOUR
BROTHER WENT FOR HIS GUN.

YEAH, CARLOS, YOUR BROTHER
WAS GOING TO SHOOT ME IN THE BACK.

WELL, I TURNED JUST AS
HE GOT OFF HIS FIRST SHOT,

AND THAT'S WHEN I
KILLED YOUR BROTHER!

MY BROTHER WAS A GENTLE MAN.

HE KNEW NOTHING OF GUNS.
HE WAS AN ARTIST, A POET.

YOUR BROTHER WAS A COWARD!

WHATEVER HE WAS, YOU KILLED HIM.

HE HAD NO WAY TO DEFEND HIMSELF
AGAINST A TRAINED MAN LIKE YOU. I DO.

HE WAS A RAPIST!

HA HA HA!

THAT IS TOO FUNNY.

HE COULD HAVE ANY
WOMAN HE WANTED.

I FOUND MY PARTNER ON
THE FLOOR OF HER BEDROOM.

WHERE SHE HAD INVITED HIM.

NO! WHERE HE INVITED HIMSELF!

I KNEW MY BROTHER,
AND I LOVED HIM.

I DID NOT KNOW YOUR PARTNER.

I BELIEVE HIM, NOT HER.

YOUR BROTHER WAS A LIAR.

NO MORE TALK.

FINN HERE.

McCall: LIEUTENANT,
HE'S NOT HERE.

THE WHOLE PLACE IS TRASHED.

THERE'S FURNITURE BROKEN.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.

WHAT ABOUT HIS CAR? IS IT THERE?

YEAH.

DAMN! THAT MAKES AN
A.P.B. NEXT TO USELESS.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK.

I'LL DO WHATEVER
I CAN AT THIS END.

YOU GO ON HOME AND GET
SOME SLEEP. YOU MIGHT NEED IT.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO
HOME AND GET SOME SLEEP!

LIEUTENANT, SEND A FINGERPRINT
TEAM OVER HERE ON THE DOUBLE!

I'M GOING TO WAIT FOR THEM.

YOU GOT IT.

YOU WERE ASLEEP, MY FRIEND.

VERY GOOD, CARLOS.

DON'T LET THE ENEMY SLEEP, HUH?

WHAT'S THE MATTER.
COULDN'T YOU SLEEP?

I COULD SLEEP LIKE A BABY IF I
THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU,

BUT YOU KNOW NOTHING OF HONOR,

SO I CANNOT TRUST YOU.

YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M GOING TO
KILL YOU THE FIRST CHANCE I GET.

I KNOW THAT.

SO I WILL FORGO THE SLEEP.

TOO BAD. I WON'T.

GOOD NIGHT.

I HAVE ALLOWED
YOU TO ENTER HERE,

AND I HAVE SHOWN YOU THE
COURTESY TO HEAR YOU OUT,

SO DO NOT USE THAT TONE OF
VOICE AGAIN, SEÑORITA McCALL,

OR YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE.

WHEN YOU SAID THAT I
COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE KNOWN

THAT TWO OF YOUR SECURITY PEOPLE
ENTERED SERGEANT HUNTER'S HOME,

I... I LOST MY TEMPER.

THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

I DO KNOW THAT THEY WERE THERE.

THEIR FINGERPRINTS
ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

AND HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW THE
FINGERPRINTS OF MY SECURITY PERSONNEL?

YOU ARE LYING!

WHEN THEY APPLY FOR GUNS
TO CARRY ON OUR STREETS,

WE REGISTER THEIR FINGERPRINTS.

NOW THOSE FINGERPRINTS, FRESH ONES,
ARE ALL OVER SERGEANT HUNTER'S HOME.

SERGEANT HUNTER IS MISSING,

AND THERE'S CLEAR EVIDENCE
OF A VIOLENT STRUGGLE.

THOSE TWO MEN DO NOT
ENJOY DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY,

SO WE CAME HERE TO
TAKE THEM INTO CUSTODY.

NOT IN THIS
CONSULATE, YOU WON'T!

AND BOTH THOSE MEN ARE HERE.

AND IF YOU WISH TO ARREST THEM, YOU
WILL HAVE TO DO IT OUTSIDE THESE PREMISES.

SIR, WE ARE ASKING FOR
YOUR COOPERATION HERE.

NOW, ONE OF OUR OFFICERS
HAS BEEN FORCIBLY KIDNAPPED,

UNQUESTIONABLY
BY CARLOS MARIANO.

BUT CARLOS MARIANO IS HERE...

NOW, HERE IN HIS QUARTERS,
HERE IN THE CONSULATE.

FINE. GIVE US 5 MINUTES WITH HIM,
AND THEN WE'RE OUT OF YOUR HAIR.

AND SINCE SEÑOR MARIANO IS HERE,

THERE IS OBVIOUSLY NOTHING TO BE
GAINED FOR YOU TO TALK TO HIM, IS THERE?

HE ISN'T HERE, AND YOU KNOW IT!

YOU ARE REFUSING TO COOPERATE

IN THE INVESTIGATION OF A FELONY

INVOLVING PEOPLE THAT
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR!

AND HE DOES NOT
SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE.

SO I ADVISE YOU TO LEAVE
QUIETLY AND IMMEDIATELY.

HUNTER.

GET UP.

YOUR CUFFS.

ON YOUR FEET.

COME ON!

I AM READY, BUT I WILL
WAIT IF YOU ARE NOT.

YOU ARE DIZZY, PERHAPS.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME, CARLOS.

LET'S DO IT.

OVER TO THE ROCK.

IT IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE, HUNTER.

THAT IS A SIOUX
INDIAN EXPRESSION.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?

YEAH, I SAW THE MOVIE, CARLOS.

LET'S GO. COME ON.

THE GUN IS LOADED.

PUT IT IN YOUR HOLSTER.

I WANT TO CHECK IT.

THERE IS NO NEED.

I HAVE SEEN TO IT.

LEFT HAND!

AND DO IT VERY SLOWLY
AND VERY WISELY.

I'LL WAIT.

YOU ARE LEARNING SOMETHING
ABOUT HONOR, MY FRIEND.

YEAH.

HERE WE ARE AT LAST, HUH?

FACE-TO-FACE. ONE
MAN AGAINST ANOTHER.

YOUR MOVE.

GET UP.

YOU SAID YOU WOULD
KILL ME. WHY DON'T YOU?

THAT WAS TALK. THIS IS REALITY.

COME ON. GET UP. WE'RE
GOING TO THE HOSPITAL.

McCALL, YOU'VE DONE
EVERYTHING YOU COULD.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT'S
GRILLING THE CONSUL.

WE'RE TRYING TO COVER THE BASES.

Man: HEY, HUNTER!

I'VE BEEN CAMPING.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

WHERE'S MARIANO?

WELL, THAT'S A LONG STORY.

CHARLIE, YOU BETTER
GET ON THE PHONE

AND CALL THAT BUREAUCRAT
FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT.

I THINK WE GOT OURSELVES A
REAL LIVE PERSONA NON GRATA.

YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.

FLIGHT 6 FOR RIO DE JANEIRO
NOW BOARDING AT GATE 15.

HOW IS YOUR HIP?

I'VE GOT 5 STITCHES IN IT.

SO WHY ARE YOU HERE?

TO MAKE SURE THAT
I AM REALLY GOING?

NO, CARLOS. I'M HERE TO MAKE
SURE YOU DON'T COME BACK.

THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY YOU COULD
HAVE ASSURED YOURSELF OF THAT.

YOU FAILED TO DO IT.

I DON'T THINK I MADE
A MISTAKE, DO YOU?

NO.

MY FATHER WILL UNDERSTAND.

HE UNDERSTANDS THE
CODE THAT I LIVE BY.

IT IS HIS CODE,

AND I HAVE CONCLUDED
THAT IT IS ALSO YOURS.

FINAL BOARDING
CALL FOR FLIGHT 11

TO SAN PABLO, CURUGUAY, GATE 7.

GOOD-BYE, HUNTER.

LET'S HOPE SO.
