Hunter (1984–1991): Season 4, Episode 8 - City of Passion: Part 3 - full transcript

What?

Dee Dee was
attacked the night before last.

Love is more than just passion.

That slut lured me there.

It was a setup!

The DA treats us like dog meat.

What the hell's going on here?

I told you never... never to
go into my things, didn't I?

Please do something stupid.

You can rape nine
women, but don't

abuse the division's budget.



Previously
on "City of Passion."

$200.

That's right.

No, that's wrong.

See, that's called soliciting
for purposes of prostitution.

Pull over to the curb.

You're under arrest.

What the hell's happened?

Well, as you know, Judge Warren

Unger was arrested in a 647-B
during a Hollywood vice sting.

So why should that
bring out five TV crews?

Commander Cain ordered the
charges against him dropped.

Get Cain over here.

He had a knife.



He killed Debbie.

Please help me.

What do you want?

Well, I'd like to talk
to you about a gun you own.

A gun?

Yeah.

It appears that it
showed up in the purse

of a 17-year-old prostitute
by the name of Stacy Tyler.

She was murdered this afternoon.

Well, was she
killed with that gun?

Oh no.

She was brutally
cut up, butchered

in some sort of satanic rite.

What is wrong with you?

You!

You're what's wrong with me.

You're never going to change.

And I cannot live
like this anymore.

Just get out of my life!

Go away.

For God's sakes, Skipper,
what more do we need?

Every victim's home,
including McCall's, was

appraised by the same
guy, Lloyd Fredericks.

I still say the DA's
going to throw this one out.

All you've got is
circumstantial evidence.

Meanwhile, what we're
doing is alerting him.

I agree with Charlie.

I think we have to put 24 hour
surveillance on Fredericks

and see what his next move is.

And we have a pretty good
idea what that will be.

Yeah, well, I'm ready.

Not to mention, I'm covered.

Not if we put the
surveillance on Fredericks.

I'm home, safe
and sound, McCall.

Checked all my
doors and windows.

How about you?

I checked in with
Dinley and Roswell.

They say that Fredericks
is still on his perch.

Well, if he makes a
move, give me a call.

I'll be right over.

Sometimes you say
the sweetest things.

Good night.

And now, "City
of Passion," part three.

Lights are still on,
car's in front of the house,

no movement.

This is Dr. Paxton.

Dee Dee, where are you?

I'll be there in 10 minutes.

Just don't move.

Well, you have two
broken ribs, a dozen

contusions, some
severe abrasions,

and a probable concussion.

Most of the abrasions are on
your inner thighs, Dee Dee.

It's obvious it
was intended rape.

It was the men we're supposed
to have under surveillance.

Bigfoot.

I can't believe you fought
him off with two broken ribs.

I fought him off
with everything I had.

He let me go because he heard
a siren and he panicked.

I guess he thought it was
one of our surveillance

teams or something.

I don't know, but he ran.

It wasn't the surveillance team?

No.

They're probably still
sitting in front of his house.

Did you call Rick?

No.

Why?

It's a little hard to breathe,
but I think I'll make it.

Dee Dee, what's
going on in your head?

Why didn't you call Rick?

Because I didn't
report the rape attempt.

I'm not going to.

God's sakes, why not?

I didn't see his face, Beth.

The guy's big.

He stinks like cheap cologne.

We already know that.

So what happened
only matters to me.

Do you understand?

I don't have anything new
to put into the report.

Nothing.

He attacked you and injured you.

You have to report it.

You know what half my
division is going to think?

They're going to think
that I was lying.

They're going to say,
I'll bet she was raped.

She's too ashamed to admit it.

You know what some of
them are going to say?

They're going to say, I'll
bet you she asked for it.

Same thing happened before, you
know, a couple of years ago.

It's exactly what it's going to
happen to me if I report this,

and there's no need to do it.

Dee Dee, Rick is your
partner, your friend.

I cannot risk involving
him in this, Beth.

Don't you see?

The failure to report a
felony is a serious offense.

They're going to fire me
if they find that out.

If he knows about it and
he goes along with it,

they're going to fire him too.

You're reliving the trauma
you went through two years ago.

It's almost as if
you were raped again.

You're behaving as if you were.

Chances are 10 to 1 that
Lloyd Fredericks is never even

going to be brought to trial.

Of that happens,
I swear to God I'm

going to do something about it.

Dee Dee, will you
listen to yourself?

You're not talking rationally.

You've been brutalized
physically and psychologically,

and you're acting accordingly.

I never felt so
completely sane in my life.

That animal is not
going to walk free.

You're going to stay
at my house tonight.

Don't go to work tomorrow.

You should be watched
tonight because

of the possible concussion.

I have to wake you up
every hour or so just

to be sure that you're
sleeping and not in a coma.

All right, I won't go into work,

but I think I should be home
just in case Hunter calls.

I'll take you home
in the morning early.

Hi.

Bet I'm the last
person you expected.

Brad, I quit being
surprised by anything

you do a long time ago.

What do you want?

No weapons.

I come in peace.

You're not supposed
to come here at all.

I need to renewal
notice for Jim's license.

Where?

Can I show you?

It should be on my desk.

It's in here somewhere.

Our cruise to St. Thomas.

Hey, hey, remember this
bikini, Mrs. Navarro?

In that remote beach.

I remember what you were
wearing when you took that.

Those were the good times.

Damn you, Brad.

No.

Not this time.

This is how you always
try to solve our problems.

I need you, Cathy.

I miss you so much
I hurt, honey.

No, Brad.

Love is more than just passion.

It's commitment.

And I am tired of one
without the other.

Cathy, please.

No.

Just leave.

Any movement on Fredericks?

Dinley said it was lights
out at 11:00 like usual.

Where's McCall?

Late, that's where.

Hello.

Hey, I thought we had a date
with a rapist this morning.

Hi.
I was just about to call you.

I've been up most of the night.

I talked to Dr. Paxton, and
she says there's some kind

of flu bug going around.

I guess I got it.

Well, that's too bad.

Our new commander
showed up this morning.

Really?
Who's That

Jason Stone.

Yeah, I've heard of him.

So what's... what's the
latest on Fredericks?

Well, no movement.

You don't sound
very well, do you?

Navarro, Dinley,
O'Hearn, Hunter, McCall,

briefing room, five minutes.

I got to get going.
Get some rest.

I'll call you.

Yeah.

How long is that going to take?

10 detectives on this
case for five full days

and nights, and we've got zip.

We're up to our tombstones
in gang murders,

robberies, freeway shootings.

We're babysitting a rapist.

So what do you suggest
we do, Commander, drop

the surveillance on Fredericks?

I mean, the guy's going
to move any day now.

What I suggest, Sergeant,
is that you arrest him.

You can't solve something like
this with just 10 men anyway.

10 men is all Commander
Cain would approve.

And dammit, that's 10 too
many, or it's 10 too few.

Then give us 10 more.

Sorry, Captain, we
ain't got the manpower.

Now bring the creep in.

We arrest him now,
we risk a DA reject,

all we're doing is
alerting the guy.

You know Fredericks is guilty.

You convinced me he's guilty.

Now it's about time we
let the DA spend some

of their money on the problem.

Look, Commander,
tonight is the third night

of Bigfoot strike pattern.

Is one more night going
to break this department?

OK.

But if he doesn't
move tonight, I

want to be introduced to him
first thing in the morning.

Hi, guys.

Take a day off, dump
your work on others,

and expect to be
welcomed back, eh?

Better watch it, Brad.

I might come over
there and lay a kiss

on you, give you this flu bug.

Might be worth it.

How you feeling?

Almost human, thanks.

Where's Hunter?

Hunter's in interrogation
room B. He's running a tape.

Really?

Sounds serious.

What's going on?

Lloyd Fredericks.

We arrested the
dirtbag this morning.

What, Fredericks hit again?

No.

This is worse than rape.

Too much overtime.

You can rape nine
women, but don't

abuse the division's budget.

Dee Dee, are you OK?

Yeah, I'm just...

I'm surprised is all.

Was that a Tuesday?

Because I told you,
I bowl on Tuesdays.

Was it?

17th was a Tuesday.

So then I went bowling.

Doesn't make me a rapist.

Who'd you go bowling with?

I went by myself.

You went bowling by yourself?

Sure.

A lot of people do
that, people who...

He's wearing the
same cheap cologne

he was wearing the night
he phoned from your house.

Look, if you don't believe me,

ask the manager of
the bowling alley.

I bowl there all the time.

He'll confirm I was there.

What's his name?

Mike, I think.

Yeah, Mike something.

Mike something.

Not exactly close
buddies, are you?

Look, my life is an open book.

In my job...
- Is she all right?

I have to keep
a record of everything I do.

Every appointment...
- Still fighting the flu.

Hey, how are you doing?

Semi-rotten.

So you got Bigfoot, eh?

Yeah.

He's talking, but he's
not saying very much.

He hasn't admitted to anything?

Nothing yet.

I think Charlie's going to
give Brad and Kitty the case.

I guess it means
we're done with it, eh?

Looks that way.

They're taking Fredericks down
to county jail to book him,

and then they're going
to go talk to the DA.

Well, it's not like we don't
have other work to do, right?

We have a lot of work to do.

We've got to find the
killer Stacey Tyler,

as well as deal
with Judge Unger.

Plus, I've got about
2,753 license plate

numbers stacked up on my desk,
which I've whittled down to 83.

Hello.

Claire, where the
hell have you been?

I worked a couple of
hours overtime, Lloyd.

What's wrong?

I need you to get to my desk
and find the deed to the house.

The deed to the house, why?

Because I need it.

I've got to have $2,500 cash
for my savings for a bondsman.

A bondsman.

Lloyd, where are you?

I'm in jail, Claire.

But I got my an working on
getting me out as long as you

bring me deed and the cash.

Oh my god.

Lloyd, what have you done?

Nothing.

I'm going to sue these jerks for
every damn penny they've got.

Lloyd, just tell me what it
is you've been arrested for.

Rape.

Claire?

Claire?

Claire?

Claire.

Now, you're positive this

is the same man that you saw?

No doubt, he's same man.

Scars.

No forget scars.

And eyes, he have cold eyes.

Mr. Ho, you hit
pay dirt for us.

Hagley has a record
as long as your arm.

He own a blue Ford?

Yeah, he owns a blue Ford.

Thank you.

I go back to work now.

Thanks very much
for coming down.

I appreciate it.
- You're welcome.

OK.

Good bye.

Hagley was released on
parole five months ago.

His parole officer says he's
working as a laborer on Fifth

and Hill, construction site.

Let's go get him.

Hey, you all right?

Yeah.

I just... I got up too fast.

Yeah?

Well, you're still sick.

Why don't you just relax?

No, I think I
should go with you.

I'll be all right.

No, I think you
should stay here in case

I need you, all right?

Bye.

Anybody else up there with him?

No, just Hagley.

Thanks.

Hey, if you're going
up there, put this on.

Rules.

Jimmy, take him up to 12.

OK, take this thing down
three floors and wait for me.

Don't come back up
until I call for you.

Hagley, you're under arrest
for the murder of Stacey Tyler.

Please do something stupid.

That's for Stacey.

Get up.

Hagley was here,
four or five feet away,

with a weapon in hand?

With a big weapon in hand.

I told the guy not to
do anything stupid.

He wouldn't listen.
He kept coming.

So I shot him.
- In the knee?

Right smack in the knee.

You are familiar
with the term capping?

Oh.

It's when you deliberately shoot

someone through
the kneecap, gives

them a crippled leg for life.

Listen, my intent was to protect

myself and take the guy alive.

Deliberately shooting to
wound is a violation of policy.

I know that.

You guys are something else.

Look, I'm gonna tell
you this one more time.

Hagley was the only link
we had to the murder,

the brutal murder,
of two teenage girls.

You think I was going
to kill the guy?

Look, I was doing my job.

You guys want to pass
judgment, be my guest.

Our job is not to pass judgment.

We're just here to
gather facts and present

them along with a recommendation
to the shooting review board.

They determine whether
it's in policy.

Now, let's go over this
one more time, Sergeant.

Is he kidding?

You're taking this
too personal, Brad.

You bet your badge I'm
taking it personally.

I'm the one who's got
to tell eight women

no one cares they were raped.

This is where the case
belongs, in the trash.

Brad...

Internal Affairs
follows us around.

Attorneys are filing
million dollar lawsuits.

The DA treats us like dog meat.

What the hell's going on here?

I'll tell you
what's going on here.

Justice is dead.

This great city is a whore.

What are you talking about?

The DA rejected the case.

Fredericks is going to walk.

Seven months of blood, sweat,
and tears, gone just like that.

What's the DA's story?

He says we don't have it, not
one eyeball witness, not one

solid link, all circumstantial.

What he's afraid of is
he's going to lose the case

and look bad on TV.

OK.

O'Hearn, Navarro, in my office.

I want to hear all the details.

We'd love to, Captain, but we
have to go down to Central Jail

and kick Fredericks loose.

I'll do it.

OK, let's get this over with.

I have a 510 release
for Fredericks,

Lloyd, number 6137742.

Hey, Potato Head,
wrap up Fredericks, L,

booking number 742.

He's out on a DA reject.

And send him to
interrogation 2 for a final.

Fredericks, L, 742,
over easy and on his way.

Interrogation 2,
he'll be right up.

Sit down.

Mr. Fredericks,
I'm Sergeant McCall.

I wasn't there when they
brought you in this morning,

but I'm bringing you good news.

You're being released.

My wife cut my bail?

No.

Bail isn't necessary.

The DA reviewed your
case and determined

that there is insufficient
evidence to take you to trial.

In other words, they
got nothing on me.

Basically, that's it.

Off the record, Lloyd,
aren't you sort of flattered

to know that you've had
your way with nine women,

and not one of them
ever identified you?

Maybe they didn't accuse
me because it wasn't me.

Or maybe they enjoyed it.

Yes.

I've heard that some
women enjoy bondage

with a dominant partner.

Ever tried it?

That's for me to know
and you to find out.

You're trying to trap me, lady.

Forget it.

I'm not stupid.

I'm not a rapist.

I'm not trying to trap you.

What are you talking about?

The only way I could do that is
if I were one of your victims.

You know what a
victim is, Lloyd?

A victim is an
unwilling participant.

The victim doesn't
file a complaint,

there's no crime, right?

You do understand what
I'm saying, don't you?

No, I can't say that I do.

Say that I'm listening.

I'm sure you've
heard that old saying,

we don't regret the
things we've done.

We only regret the things
for lack of courage

that we don't do.

So hot in here.

I don't know about
you, but every time

I come into this jail, I
feel like I need a bath.

Thank God I have tonight off.

I'm just going to go home
and take these clothes off,

get into a nice bath.

Is your birth date 11-18-51?

Yeah.

And do you still live
at 4500 Lake Spur Drive?

That's right.

Guess that's it.

Well, Lloyd, maybe we'll run
into each other some time.

Never know.

Never know.

We have an eyewitness that
says you were in Stacey Tyler's

room at the Alvarado Motel.

The one thing that
really puzzles me

is why Judge Unger
would want Stacey dead.

Judge who?

It's heating up.

I'm home, Cathy.

Come hell or high water,
I'm never leaving again.

I was wrong.

I'll tell you.

I'll tell everybody.

I love you, Cathy, and
I'm dying without you.

I'll change.

I have changed.

Baby, you sent me
away, and it worked.

I found out what it was
like not seeing you.

Cathy, even three-time losers
get another chance, and that's

all I'm asking for, a chance.

Let me come home, OK?

Let me prove to you that
I've changed, because I have.

And I love you.

I'm home.

I'm home.

Do you think it's wise to
go out after what happened?

What happened was
not my fault, Claire.

After 12 hours in
that jail, I just

got to get out for a while.

Lloyd, why did they
think it was you?

Claire, they made a mistake.

That's why they let me go.

Lloyd, I found some things.

Some dates marked on the
calendar, and some pantyhose

in your car.

I told you never... never to
go into my things, didn't I?

Didn't I?

Never!

Now you leave me alone!

We got to talk.

You idiot.

Don't you know better
than to call me here?

Don't you call
me an idiot, or I'll...

Where the hell are you anyway?

At a county
hospital in the jail ward.

You moron.

They don't have phones
in county jail wards.

I'm trying to tell
you, that cop Hunter, he knows.

He knows everything.

Don't say another word.

I'll take care of it.

Yes?

Judge Unger, please.

You'll have to wait here.

We have a warrant
for his arrest.

What do you want?

What the hell are
you doing here?

I thought I told you...

I know what you told me.

You have the right
to remain silent.

You give up that
right, anything you say

can and will be used against
you in the court of law.

You have the right
to have an attorney

present during questioning.

If you cannot
afford an attorney,

one will be appointed for you.

Do you understand these
rights as I've explained them?

What's the charge?

Murder of Debbie Keelan,
and accessory to the murder

of Stacey Tyler.

I want to speak to my attorney.

I think you should.

You know what they say
about all work and no play.

Is that an invitation?

Saved by the bell.

Hunter, homicide.

This is Dr. Paxton.

I'm worried about Dee Dee.

What are you worried about?

I called twice and got no
answer, and then I called again

and the line was busy.

When I checked with
the telephone company,

they said that the
line was off the hook.

Well, maybe it was off the hook.

Maybe she wanted some privacy.

She's done that before.

No, I don't think that's it.

I know that's not it.

Well, then what is it?

I just think you ought to
get over there now and fast.

Dee Dee was attacked the night
before last and almost raped.

What?

By the man that you
have under surveillance.

I'll call you back.

Call Fredericks' house.

See if he's home.

Why, what's wrong?

Just do it, will you?

Mrs. Fredericks,
do you know where

your husband is right now?

Has he been arrested again?

Hello, Lloyd.

Please... please don't.

How many of your
victims said that to you?

Please.

Please.

I wanted to kill him.

I intended to kill him.

I couldn't.

I couldn't tell you.

I don't know what happened.

McCall arrested the
guy at her house.

That's all they told me.

Yeah.

Take care, man.
- You bet.

Pardon me, Lieutenant.

Yeah?

This lady claims detective
O'Hearn called her.

Oh.

O'Hearn will be back
in just a few minutes.

That's her desk
right over there.

Would you like to wait for her?

The minute Commander
Stone learns about this,

I'm going to have to
ask for McCall's badge.

You understand that, don't you?

No you're not.

Charlie, consider the
mitigating circumstances.

She's a cop who failed
to report a felony.

I know she's a cop who
failed to report a felony.

But come on, think about this.

She was beaten and nearly
raped 48 hours ago.

I can't argue with
you on that one,

but we still got
to deal with it.

Did I understand you correctly?

She's willing to make a
complete voluntary statement

about what happened?

She's willing to
make the statement,

but she can't swear
that it was Fredericks

who tried to rape her.

But that doesn't matter.

Don't you see?

She failed to report the felony.

Fredericks probably out
there right now spilling

his guts about what happened.

No, she is through.

We cannot protect her.

We got to talk
about this, Charlie.

That slut lured me there.

It was a setup.

I want a polygraph.

You shut your mouth, or
you're gonna need Poligrip.

Mrs. Fredericks, you
didn't have to come in.

Well, I had to.

I have to know what's going on.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Fredericks,
but your husband's been

arrested on the same charge...

Rape.

But that... that can't be.

I mean, he said it
was all a mistake.

Not this time.

This time he was arrested
inside a woman's house.

What the hell
are you doing here?

It's the Island Princess, and it

makes stops at three islands.

Sounds great.

Sounds like a second
honeymoon, Brad.

You said it, partner.

Gee, I hope the
trip cheers him up.

Next week, Cathy and
I depart Miami for seven

sun-filled days of bliss.

You know, I can almost
feel the sea breeze,

taste the pool, salt air.

Hey, Navarro,
it's Dial-a-Divorce

calling again on line six.

Tell them I'm a
happily married man

and I don't believe in divorce.

They keep calling.

Hey, I got nothing
to talk to them about.

Tell them to go back to
chasing ambulances, OK?

They want the $2,000 you owe.

$2,000.

Hey, where you guys been?

You know, I've been trying
to get a hold of you fellas.

Now, you've got friends
in this department, McCall.

In fact, that tall
one kept me up most

of the night talking about you.

Cops are always being forced
to make decisions, usually

under a great deal of stress.

So it shouldn't surprise anyone
we sometimes make mistakes.

Now, the man that tried
to rape you is dead.

You, me, and Hunter are the only
ones that know what happened.

Is that correct?

Yeah.

Except for my doctor, but
that's confidential information.

Well, exceptional
problems sometimes

call for exceptional solutions.

If you can pull it together
like I know you can,

I'd like you to stay on.

Good cops are hard to find.

I would like that very
much, Captain, but...

I see no earthly reason to
report Fredericks' attempt

to rape you.

The case is closed.

It would serve no purpose to...

Now, with your approval,
we'd like to forget

that this whole thing happened.

Look, you've still got three
weeks leave left on the books.

Why don't you take a
couple of them right now?

Thank you, Captain.

But I think that...

I think I'll be able to
deal with this better if I

just keep right on working.

OK.

Get to work.

Yes sir.

Thank you.
