Hunter (1984–1991): Season 6, Episode 22 - Street Wise: Part 2 - full transcript
As an investigation into an elaborate fencing operation leads Hunter to the killer of a fellow officer and friend, McCall weighs the decision to marry and quit the force.
Tonight on "Hunter"...
-I didn't know that
stuff was stolen.
-You're a liar, and
I'm gonna prove it.
-That stuff the cops found
your fencing leads back to me.
-I'm not telling the cops squat.
-Wait a minute!
-You're looking
at 10 years, punk!
Now where is he?
-There's maybe a dozen
guys who could handle
the volume the
Captain was doing.
-You're asking me
to give up my life here!
-Give up what?
The possibility of being killed?
-What is going on?
-Alex asked me to marry him.
-I want you to back off McCall.
-What happens
between me and Dee Dee
is really none of your business.
-Why don't you
stop mothering me?
I'm fine.
All right?
-I love her.
-And so do I!
Previously seen on Hunter.
-You all right?
-Yeah!
Freeze, Martinez!
-Sure is good to see you.
What are you doing here?
-One minute I'm in Africa,
the next I'm here in LA.
From... from here I
go to Oxford, where
I have been offered
a research grant.
Thank you, very much.
-Aren't you gonna be
in Hollenbeck tomorrow?
-Is that tomorrow?
Holy smoke!
Tomorrow is my
day in the bureau.
-This is a flyer about a
major fencing operation
somewhere in our little domain.
I want it found and shut down.
-It's a good thing he's
the best fence in town.
He is too weird to
be anything else.
Officer!
Officer, my friend!
-Agh!
-Alex, this is just so strange.
We've been in and out of
each other's lives for eight years.
What are we doing?
-I think we're dancing.
-I've been looking for you!
You gotta help me find the
people who beat up George.
-I don't know nothing.
Is this him?
Yeah, that's the
Captain, all right.
-Andrew Seeley.
Previous arrests for
receiving stolen property,
aggravated assault.
-Yeah, and now murder.
Where is he, Pete?
-Freeze, police!
-Ugh!
Ugh!
-What you really want
is this granted England.
You can't give that up for me.
You can't give that up!
-Well, I can't ask you to
give up your life's work, either.
-So what are you saying?
-I love you.
I want you to marry me.
And now, Part Two.
The case is simple, there
is no way I'm
doing time on this.
There's no way
they can prove that I
knew that stuff was stolen.
This shit happens
all the time to me.
Seeley!
-Yeah?
What is it?
-Just because you made
bail, don't leave town.
-Why should I leave LA?
I didn't know that
stuff was stolen.
-You're a liar, and
I'm going to prove it.
-Make a note of that.
I'll see you later.
-Come on.
-You know, a guy
gets out on bail,
he's not going to stick
around LA very long.
You know that, don't you?
- I know.
But look on the bright side.
At least you've still
got Stroud in custody.
-What are you
walking so fast for?
-Oh, I'm just in a
hurry to get out today.
-What?
Have you got a
hot date with Alex?
-That obviously, huh?
-Well, gee.
You two have been
spinning around
together the last four days.
Anybody that didn't know you,
they'd swore you were a zombie.
-I want to ask you something.
-Yeah?
What do you think about Alex?
What do I think of Alex?
I don't know.
He seems like a nice
enough guy, I suppose.
-Well, I know that.
But I mean, what do you
really think about him?
-Gee, you're awfully
serious, aren't you?
-Well, it's just that h...
you're my best friend
and, you know, just from a
man's point of view, what do think?
-OK.
On a scale of 1 to
10, I give him 9.5.
-Really? a 9.5?
How come not a 10?
-Because he's
not a police officer.
-I don't care what
you got, I can't
do nothing with the
cops sitting on me.
-I'm banking on you, man.
-Yeah?
Bank on somebody else.
I'm out of business for a while.
-I got some prime
merchandise coming my way.
You are passing
up a very big deal.
-Look!
You tell me, smart guy.
I'm out on bail.
I'm facing heavy time.
My lawyer is
telling me to lie low.
What would you do?
-I need a pipeline
I can count on.
I thought that was you.
My mistake.
-Look, I'm not parking
my life in the slam 20 years
for your sake, or
anybody else's.
-Ease off, man.
There's plenty of other
people I can do business with.
If you want to pass up a solid
gold deal, that's your problem.
Hello!
-How did everything go a UCLA?
-Not bad.
Not bad.
Pretty positive.
No guarantees, but I think
that they may have a position
for me, similar to the one
that I was offered at Oxford.
Now all I need is
a reason to stay.
I believe you owe me an answer
to a very important question.
-Yeah, I do.
-I love you.
I want you to be my wife.
-Well?
-Yes, Alex.
-Yes?
-Yes.
-Yes?
Yes?
Ooh!
You have made be so happy!
You're not going to
regret this, I promise.
I'm going to make
you very happy.
-Oh, you already have.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
I just... I... I have to know.
Are you very, very sure
about this thing in England?
I know how much it means to you.
-There will be
other opportunities.
Right now, you are the
most important thing to me.
So now what do we do?
-I don't know.
Um, we tell everybody.
We tell people.
-Who do you want to tell first?
-Uh, my family, of course.
Um, Rick.
And I'll have to find a time
where I can be alone with him.
And I can sit and we can talk.
-You and Rick have been
partners for a long time.
How do you think
he's going to take it?
-He's going to be
very, very happy
for me, because I
am happy for me.
-I love you.
-And I love you very much.
I gotta go.
Speaking of fat guys, what
ever happened to Pete Mulcahee?
-Oh, gees!
He opened a little bar
over in the Rampart, the...
-Oh, come on!
-Yeah.
Most of his customers are cops.
It's like he never even retired.
-Really?
-You know, when
I'm off bull of this job,
I'm going to leave the
Department behind me
once and for all.
I'm not going to become
another Pete Mulcahee.
-Well, to each his
own, I suppose.
You still?
-Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
My brother-in-law and I
bought a motel up there.
Mm, hm.
-15 units on a beautiful lake.
We're going to run
a little fishing camp.
You know my son's
a Forestry Ranger?
-Yeah, sure.
-So, uh, I'm just going to play
with my grandkids and fish.
-Sounds great, huh?
-Yeah, it's going
to be terrific.
You got to come up
and visit some time.
-Love to.
-Get away from this
sinkhole of a city.
Hey, get away from the
Andrew Seeley's of life, huh?
-You know he
made bail, don't you?
-Hm.
Come on, you're not
surprised, are you?
-Well, listen.
I'm never surprised at
what the judicial system
does in this city.
-Oh.
-OK.
Let's do it.
This is obviously not
a very good drawing.
But you get the idea.
If you tie the
foundation under rock...
-Yeah, I got it.
Rick, listen a minute.
I made it official today.
-What's that?
-Put in for my 30 retirement.
-You gotta be kidding me?
-No.
-Dave Peterson,
congratulations, my man!
-Thank you, very much,
thank you very much.
-You're dream's
coming true, huh?
-Oh, it is.
It is.
Hey, you're a young man.
Don't waste it.
Come on up and
stay with us a while.
-I'd love to.
But there's an old saying,
everything in its time, David.
And it's just not
my time to retire.
But I would like to come to
Idaho and go fishing with you.
-Well, do it.
And do it soon, because I
know a beautiful little stream up
there filled with
trout, where you can
mellow out and
forget LA even exists.
-What I want to know is,
when the big retirement party is?
-I haven't set it yet.
But don't worry about it, I
expect everyone for Chief Gates
on down to be there.
Really?
-Mm, hm.
Oh, man.
Look at the time!
-Hey, put your
money in your pocket.
You own me one when I come
up time to Idaho to see you.
-All right.
Be my pleasure.
-Absolutely.
Listen, I appreciate the
two days on the street.
-No problem.
-All right.
-You take care.
-All right.
Keep me posted
on the party, huh?
-All right.
Hey, Richard.
-Yeah?
-No lamp shades.
-Get outta here!
-Just relax, honey.
This is kind of like
a trip to the dentist.
It will all be over
before you know it.
-Ha, ha, ha.
Take a look at this!
Hee, hee.
-Ooh!
This has gotta be worth, what?
A quarter of a million?
What do you do, anyway?
-That's none of your business.
-You got a wise mouth, pal.
And you're in no
position to open it.
-Look, you've got what you want.
Now get out of here!
-Don't you ever
tell me what to do!
-He didn't mean it.
Please don't hurt him.
DISPATCH OPERATOR
Attention all units
in the vicinity of 6785
Fairfield Lane, Code 30 Ringer.
Use caution.
-Uh, 4 Lincoln 20, I'll
take the Fairfield call.
DISPATCH OPERATOR
Roger, Lincoln 20.
Backup is on the way.
-I found this munchkin
hiding upstairs.
I bet you she
pulled a silent alarm.
No!
-Did you do that, little girl?
Huh?
Did you do that?
Huh?
Did you do that?
Huh?
-Don't touch her!
Damn you!
-No!
-Ugh!
Ow!
-I told you not to mess with me!
-For God's sake,
please don't kill him!
-Tie these nice people up.
I'm going to bring
the car around.
Come on, let's get out of here.
-One second.
-Police, freeze!
All right, put the
stuff down, real slow.
Interlock your fingers
behind your head.
Turn around, now!
-Come on, let's get outta here.
-Hunter, I need to
talk to you a second.
-Yeah, what's up?
-Dave Peterson
was killed last night.
We don't have any details.
He was on his way
home, and looks
like he answered a 211 call.
-I was just with him last night.
I know that two guys
were close, and...
-How was he killed, Charlie?
-Shot in the back.
-Shot in the back?
Shot in the back!
-Why are you crying?
-I wasn't crying, honey.
I was just a
little upset, is all.
-Are you a policeman?
-Yes, I am.
What's your name?
-Robin Hawkins.
I already talked to the
other policeman last night.
-Robin, did you see the men
that broke into your house
last night?
-Yes.
But they were wearing masks.
-Ah, so you couldn't
see their faces?
-No.
The men were mean.
The one with this snakes,
he pushed me down.
-Snakes?
What do you mean snakes?
What kind of snakes?
-Black ones.
-Black snakes.
Did he have a tattoo?
-No.
A bracelet.
-I see.
Is your mother and father OK?
-Yes.
-Good.
Are they in the house?
-Mm, hm.
-OK.
I'm going to go in
and talk them, OK?
-OK.
-Thanks, Robin.
-Why did they kill
the other policeman?
-I don't know, honey.
-There must be
1,000 people wearing
those medical alert bracelets.
How are we going to narrow
it down to our suspect?
-Well, I'm checking
NCIC for any convicted
felons with medical problems.
-That's great.
But even if NCIC
comes through, that list
will be as long as our arms.
- Look!
That's the only lead I've
got right now, Charlie.
Yeah, how you doing, Alex?
-Hi, how you doing?
Hi.
-Hi.
-I, uh, hope I'm not
interrupting anything,
I just, uh, wanted
to talk a little bit.
-Uh, why don't we go in
the conference room, OK?
-Sure, sure.
Hunter doesn't seem very happy.
-There was a police
officer that was killed,
and it's kind of a tough
situation for him right now.
-I'm sorry.
-Ah, you couldn't know.
What's going on?
-Well, I just, uh, spoke with
the head of the department
at UCLA.
We got along very well,
but he threw me a curve ball.
They won't be doing any hiring
for at least six months, maybe
a year, depending
on the funding.
-You're kidding?
I thought that they
were ready immediately.
-So did I. Doesn't
matter, I'll work it out.
Of course, you
could leave all of this
and just move with me to London.
That would be nice.
-Yes, that would be very nice.
I just don't know if I can make
that kind of move, just yet.
It's a big one.
-Whatever you
decide, we'll work out.
-Excuse me.
We do have some work to do.
-Yeah.
I'll walk you out.
-OK.
As soon as he gets in,
have him give me a call.
I'd appreciate it very much.
Thank you.
What did you find out?
-I have traced a dozen
possible suspects.
They either all
live out of state,
or they have solid
alibis for last night.
-Yeah.
I'm gonna have
Charlie put a couple
more detectives with you.
Not a bad idea.
-Hunter, Homicide.
This is Bolin over
at Holllenbeck.
I think I got something for you.
I just had a burglary victim go
through some of the property
that Andrew Seeley was fencing.
Our victim his found
his TV and a VCR,
but that's not the half of it.
-Yeah?
The TV and VCR were
stolen by some home crashers.
The same MO used by
the crew that killed Peterson.
I'd lay odds that Andrew
Seeley knows who they are.
-Tom, you've been a big help.
Thanks, very much.
Let's go.
-Uh, I'm not sure I'm getting
through to you on this one.
That stuff the cops found
your fencing leads back to me.
-So?
-So if the cops
figure it out, I don't
want you rolling over on me.
-I'm not telling the cops squat!
-Well, I'm just
making sure, that's all.
'Cause my life
rides on this one!
-I'm not a cement wall.
Pow!
I got the message.
-Didn't I tell you we
could count on this guy?
-That's what you said.
-Ah, here he is.
Third floor.
-Thanks, Captain.
-Yeah, right.
-Get it open!
Open that door!
-It's locked!
-Get outta here!
The ladder.
-We'll never make it.
-We will one at a time.
You draw his fire, I'll
cover you when I get there.
-You take care.
-I won't let you down.
Ready?
Go!
-Pratt!
You bastard, get back here!
Help!
Ugh!
Ugh!
Ugh!
Yeah, your composite
IDs him as Everett Pratt...
Armed assault, robbery,
attempted murder.
He's also a diabetic, which
gives him a perfect reason
to wear a medical
alert bracelet.
Now all we got
to do is find him.
-That's what Stroud is
gonna tell me, right now!
-Where can I find
Everette Pratt?
-Never heard of him.
-Come here for a minute.
-Hey.
Wait a minute.
-You're looking
at 10 years, punk.
Now where is he?
-Can we work a
deal or something?
-Yeah, we can work a deal.
Where is he?
-I don't know where he is.
He'd drop the stuff off,
we pay him, move stuff out.
You know how it works.
-Yeah, I know how it works.
Now where can
Pratt fence this stuff?
Come on, don't go to sleep!
-There's maybe a
dozen guys could handle
the volume the
Captain was doing.
-Good.
Start writing.
-You're thinking Kelsey is
dead, and you were almost killed?
What are we crazy
or something, here?
Let's forget the damn stuff
and get the hell outta here.
-Keep your voice down.
We're not going anywhere till
we fence the stuff we already got.
-It's too big a risk now.
-No isn't.
We're just dropping
the stuff off, that's all.
-I... I just want
out this, Pratt.
-OK.
You're out.
There's the door, hotshot.
All you got to do
is walk through it.
But you leave with nothing!
-All right.
All right.
All right.
I will unload this stuff.
I mean, uh, so who's
gonna fence it now?
-Kelsey mentioned a
guy named Magruder.
Says he's really good.
Take your hands off the table.
-You really have to go?
-Yeah.
I have a lot of work to do.
-Never quit, huh?
-I told you, a police
officer was murdered.
Hunter is probably in
interrogation right now,
and I should be there.
I really should.
-You don't think he can
handle it on his own?
-It's not about him.
It's about me.
It's part of my
job, you know that.
-Did you tell him yet?
-No, I haven't told him.
Not yet.
-I see.
-It just has to
be the right time.
-What's going on?
-Alex, there's just so
many changes happening,
and I'm... and here you are,
willing to give up something
that you've wanted
for your whole life.
You know, if this thing
at UCLA doesn't work out,
I'm gonna feel responsible.
-You're not responsible.
I am.
I'm an adult.
I can take care of myself.
But I want you to
be a part of my life.
Everything's going to be OK.
-Yeah, I know it will.
- Captain!
- Yeah.
What's... what's going on?
-Yeah, I run the list of
names I got from Stroud
against Kelsey's
known associates.
You got one constant.
A fence by the name of Magruder.
-That's great.
-Yeah, is McCall in here?
-Yeah, she's inside.
Hey!
Hey, listen, take it easy.
- I know.
I will.
Yeah.
This is William
56, show as Code 6
at 1700 Pershing
Street, near Mill Island.
OK.
I don't know if Magruder is in
there or not, or who he's with.
Let's not take any chances.
Why don't you go
around to the back?
-OK, give me about 20 seconds.
-You got 10.
-You're so demanding.
-Hunter, he's going
north around the back!
-Magruder, hold it
right there, police!
-Ugh!
Aah!
-You know,
Magruder, I don't think
that prison food
agrees with you.
You ought to
lose a little weight.
All right.
Bend your arm at the elbow.
How's that?
-It's all right.
-All right, raise your
arm up in the air.
Raise it above your head.
How's that?
-That's a little sore in there.
-All right.
-How's she doing?
-It's all right.
No broken bones, just some
bad bruises, possible hematoma.
I suggest she put her arm in
a sling for a couple of weeks,
but that's up to her.
-I don't... I don't
need to do that.
It's fine, really.
-Well, I'm all finished.
You can leave
whenever you'd like.
-Yeah, thanks, very much.
-Thank you.
-All right, take it easy.
-I just finished
talking to Charles.
He wants you to take
the rest of the day off.
I don't need to take
the rest of the day off.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
What have you got on Magruder?
-Well, we think Magruder
is a hotline to Pratt.
We're setting a surveillance
at Magruder's right now.
-You think he's
going to go for that?
-He has no choice.
-Dee Dee!
I just heard.
Are you all right?
-Yes, I'm fine.
How did you even
find out I was here?
-I called the precinct and
they told me you were here.
-What happened?
-We want to go
interview a suspect.
-He attacked you, right?
-No.
-I mean, that's
what they told me.
He...
-No, he didn't attack me.
I just got knocked down.
-Just... what?
Like that's no big
deal or something?
-Look, I got to take care
of some, uh, business.
I'll talk to you later.
-I'm a doctor.
I'm used to being
around hospitals.
But this is very new for me.
You're acting like this is some
kind of an occupational hazard,
or it goes with the
territory, or something.
-Alex, that's exactly right.
I mean, come on, you know that.
Sometimes my job
demands that I get
put in dangerous situations.
That's part of my job.
-OK, all right.
All right, look, I haven't
said no to Oxford yet.
Perhaps we should reconsider.
How's this?
I take the job, you come
with me. is that good?
-Wait a second, you're
asking me to give up what I do.
You're asking me to
give me up my life here.
-Give up what?
The possibility of being killed?
-But, Alex, you
don't have a right
to ask me to give up what I do.
-I have every right!
I love you, we're getting
married, remember?
Look, Dee Dee, uh, this is
not some capricious demand
that I am making.
I don't know if I
could handle the idea
of my wife being shot at.
I don't know if I
can deal with that.
-Well, Alex...
-I realize that I'm asking
you to make a sacrifice.
Just think about it, all right?
Please.
-Alex, I don't... I don't know
if I can make that sacrifice.
-Well, we're both going to
have to deal with that, aren't we?
Make sure you tuck that
camera next to the other TVs.
Now with all the electronic
stuff that's in here, even
if someone notices
it, they'll think
it's just a part of what
Magruder is fencing.
We've got a surveillance
van two blocks away.
The way it's parked,
they'll never notice it.
-Good.
-You're sure betting a
lot that Pratt will show up.
-Well, no, Pratt will
show up all right.
And when he does, he's mine.
-Hi, how you doing?
You're supposed to
be home, aren't you?
-Yeah.
I didn't want to be at home.
-Oh, you know Tom
Bolin, don't you?
-Sure.
Yeah.
How you doing?
-Listen, I'm going to
finish up around here
and get back to the van.
If anything happens,
I'll let you know.
-Yeah, thanks, Tom.
You should be home, resting.
-Why don't you
stop mothering me?
I'm fine!
All right?
-Hey, what's going on?
-There's nothing going on.
-Hey, wait.
What... what are you doing?
Hey, McCall.
McCall.
Hey.
Hey, wait... wait.
What are you doing?
-I used to know
exactly what I wanted.
Now I just don't
even know anymore.
-Sergeant Hunter.
-Are we going somewhere, Alex?
-Yeah.
I'm going to London.
What can I do for you?
-I'll get right to
the point, Alex.
I want you to back off McCall.
-Yeah, well, uh,
with all due respect,
Sergeant Hunter, what happens
between me and Dee Dee
is really none of your business.
-It is my business, Alex!
I'm a police officer.
McCall is my partner.
I'm working on something
very, very important.
I need her.
You're screwing her up.
Back off!
-You are way out of line, here.
-Yeah.
Yeah.
-I love her.
-Yeah, so do I. Back off.
That's a good idea.
-Hey, listen.
I'm sorry that I got
upset yesterday.
-Ah, forget about it.
-I should have told
you what's going on,
but with Peterson's
murder and everything,
it just never seemed
like the right time.
Now I don't even know
if it matters anymore.
-Hey, just what is going on?
-Alex asked me to marry him.
-What did you say?
-I said yes.
But after yesterday
afternoon, I'm... I'm not sure.
It just seems like
it's all up in the air.
I don't know.
DISPATCHER: 1 William 156?
-56, go.
Go to channel 21
for transmission
from Detective Bolin.
-Bolin, Hunter here.
Hunter, where the hell are you?
-We're about five minutes away.
-Good, because we
got action down here.
Some guy by the name
Williams showed up
claiming to be a
friend of Kelsey's,
just about 10 minutes ago.
-Good.
And, Hunter, he said he
and guy named Pratt are
coming back in a couple of hours.
Boy, I don't like this.
-What are crying
about now, Jake?
-I don't know.
There's got to be
some other way.
You know, I don't
trust Magruder.
-Look, we're just
going to drop this stuff
off and be on our way.
Five minutes, we'll be gone.
In and out.
-What kept you?
-We got no time
for conversation.
You got the money?
-Yeah, I got your money.
-Freeze!
-Hi.
How long you been
standing there?
-Not very long.
-I just needed to be alone.
To have some time to
think about some things.
-I went by the
hotel to talk to Alex.
I, uh, I owed him an apology.
You see, last night,
I went over there
and kind of shot my mouth off.
Uh, I was a little out of line,
so I went back and told him so.
He loves you very much.
Do you love him?
-Yeah.
I never thought that I feel like
this again after Steven died.
But I do.
-What are you
going to do about it?
-I want to be with him.
That means going off to London.
He, uh, he's been
offered a great job there.
Of course, I checked
into it for myself.
There's a
organization I can work
with there that deals with kids.
So I can still be of service.
That's important to me.
It's part of what this job
has been here for me.
And this job is...
Oh, I wouldn't trade
the memories for anything.
There all right here.
It's just saying
goodbye is really hard.
-Look, we're too good
of friends to say goodbye.
What we've had is
almost like a marriage.
So saying goodbye
is not like a divorce,
it's just that it makes me feel
good to know that you found
someone you want
to share your life with.
It makes me feel good.
-I'm going to miss you.
We've had some times, huh?
-Yes.
-I guess if I need to find
you I know where I can look.
-Yep, right over there.
Extension 315.
Look, go to Alex.
Go to London, buy
a big nice house
with lots of closet space.
You're going to need it.
Go ahead.
Go on.
-I now pronounce
you man and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
I present to you Doctor
and Mrs. Alexander Turner.
-Oh, congratulations!
-Good luck, good luck.
-Thank you, very much.
-Congratulations.
-Bye bye.
-Goodbye, Doc.
-Well, looks like the
end of an era, huh?
-Oh, I don't know, Charlie.
I think it could be the
beginning of a new one.
Yeah, come on.
Let's see if we can.
Bye, bye.
Bye, bye, Doc.
-Bye, bye.
Bye, bye.
-Wait a minute.
You gonna throw that thing?
-Oh, that's right.
-I didn't know that
stuff was stolen.
-You're a liar, and
I'm gonna prove it.
-That stuff the cops found
your fencing leads back to me.
-I'm not telling the cops squat.
-Wait a minute!
-You're looking
at 10 years, punk!
Now where is he?
-There's maybe a dozen
guys who could handle
the volume the
Captain was doing.
-You're asking me
to give up my life here!
-Give up what?
The possibility of being killed?
-What is going on?
-Alex asked me to marry him.
-I want you to back off McCall.
-What happens
between me and Dee Dee
is really none of your business.
-Why don't you
stop mothering me?
I'm fine.
All right?
-I love her.
-And so do I!
Previously seen on Hunter.
-You all right?
-Yeah!
Freeze, Martinez!
-Sure is good to see you.
What are you doing here?
-One minute I'm in Africa,
the next I'm here in LA.
From... from here I
go to Oxford, where
I have been offered
a research grant.
Thank you, very much.
-Aren't you gonna be
in Hollenbeck tomorrow?
-Is that tomorrow?
Holy smoke!
Tomorrow is my
day in the bureau.
-This is a flyer about a
major fencing operation
somewhere in our little domain.
I want it found and shut down.
-It's a good thing he's
the best fence in town.
He is too weird to
be anything else.
Officer!
Officer, my friend!
-Agh!
-Alex, this is just so strange.
We've been in and out of
each other's lives for eight years.
What are we doing?
-I think we're dancing.
-I've been looking for you!
You gotta help me find the
people who beat up George.
-I don't know nothing.
Is this him?
Yeah, that's the
Captain, all right.
-Andrew Seeley.
Previous arrests for
receiving stolen property,
aggravated assault.
-Yeah, and now murder.
Where is he, Pete?
-Freeze, police!
-Ugh!
Ugh!
-What you really want
is this granted England.
You can't give that up for me.
You can't give that up!
-Well, I can't ask you to
give up your life's work, either.
-So what are you saying?
-I love you.
I want you to marry me.
And now, Part Two.
The case is simple, there
is no way I'm
doing time on this.
There's no way
they can prove that I
knew that stuff was stolen.
This shit happens
all the time to me.
Seeley!
-Yeah?
What is it?
-Just because you made
bail, don't leave town.
-Why should I leave LA?
I didn't know that
stuff was stolen.
-You're a liar, and
I'm going to prove it.
-Make a note of that.
I'll see you later.
-Come on.
-You know, a guy
gets out on bail,
he's not going to stick
around LA very long.
You know that, don't you?
- I know.
But look on the bright side.
At least you've still
got Stroud in custody.
-What are you
walking so fast for?
-Oh, I'm just in a
hurry to get out today.
-What?
Have you got a
hot date with Alex?
-That obviously, huh?
-Well, gee.
You two have been
spinning around
together the last four days.
Anybody that didn't know you,
they'd swore you were a zombie.
-I want to ask you something.
-Yeah?
What do you think about Alex?
What do I think of Alex?
I don't know.
He seems like a nice
enough guy, I suppose.
-Well, I know that.
But I mean, what do you
really think about him?
-Gee, you're awfully
serious, aren't you?
-Well, it's just that h...
you're my best friend
and, you know, just from a
man's point of view, what do think?
-OK.
On a scale of 1 to
10, I give him 9.5.
-Really? a 9.5?
How come not a 10?
-Because he's
not a police officer.
-I don't care what
you got, I can't
do nothing with the
cops sitting on me.
-I'm banking on you, man.
-Yeah?
Bank on somebody else.
I'm out of business for a while.
-I got some prime
merchandise coming my way.
You are passing
up a very big deal.
-Look!
You tell me, smart guy.
I'm out on bail.
I'm facing heavy time.
My lawyer is
telling me to lie low.
What would you do?
-I need a pipeline
I can count on.
I thought that was you.
My mistake.
-Look, I'm not parking
my life in the slam 20 years
for your sake, or
anybody else's.
-Ease off, man.
There's plenty of other
people I can do business with.
If you want to pass up a solid
gold deal, that's your problem.
Hello!
-How did everything go a UCLA?
-Not bad.
Not bad.
Pretty positive.
No guarantees, but I think
that they may have a position
for me, similar to the one
that I was offered at Oxford.
Now all I need is
a reason to stay.
I believe you owe me an answer
to a very important question.
-Yeah, I do.
-I love you.
I want you to be my wife.
-Well?
-Yes, Alex.
-Yes?
-Yes.
-Yes?
Yes?
Ooh!
You have made be so happy!
You're not going to
regret this, I promise.
I'm going to make
you very happy.
-Oh, you already have.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
I just... I... I have to know.
Are you very, very sure
about this thing in England?
I know how much it means to you.
-There will be
other opportunities.
Right now, you are the
most important thing to me.
So now what do we do?
-I don't know.
Um, we tell everybody.
We tell people.
-Who do you want to tell first?
-Uh, my family, of course.
Um, Rick.
And I'll have to find a time
where I can be alone with him.
And I can sit and we can talk.
-You and Rick have been
partners for a long time.
How do you think
he's going to take it?
-He's going to be
very, very happy
for me, because I
am happy for me.
-I love you.
-And I love you very much.
I gotta go.
Speaking of fat guys, what
ever happened to Pete Mulcahee?
-Oh, gees!
He opened a little bar
over in the Rampart, the...
-Oh, come on!
-Yeah.
Most of his customers are cops.
It's like he never even retired.
-Really?
-You know, when
I'm off bull of this job,
I'm going to leave the
Department behind me
once and for all.
I'm not going to become
another Pete Mulcahee.
-Well, to each his
own, I suppose.
You still?
-Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
My brother-in-law and I
bought a motel up there.
Mm, hm.
-15 units on a beautiful lake.
We're going to run
a little fishing camp.
You know my son's
a Forestry Ranger?
-Yeah, sure.
-So, uh, I'm just going to play
with my grandkids and fish.
-Sounds great, huh?
-Yeah, it's going
to be terrific.
You got to come up
and visit some time.
-Love to.
-Get away from this
sinkhole of a city.
Hey, get away from the
Andrew Seeley's of life, huh?
-You know he
made bail, don't you?
-Hm.
Come on, you're not
surprised, are you?
-Well, listen.
I'm never surprised at
what the judicial system
does in this city.
-Oh.
-OK.
Let's do it.
This is obviously not
a very good drawing.
But you get the idea.
If you tie the
foundation under rock...
-Yeah, I got it.
Rick, listen a minute.
I made it official today.
-What's that?
-Put in for my 30 retirement.
-You gotta be kidding me?
-No.
-Dave Peterson,
congratulations, my man!
-Thank you, very much,
thank you very much.
-You're dream's
coming true, huh?
-Oh, it is.
It is.
Hey, you're a young man.
Don't waste it.
Come on up and
stay with us a while.
-I'd love to.
But there's an old saying,
everything in its time, David.
And it's just not
my time to retire.
But I would like to come to
Idaho and go fishing with you.
-Well, do it.
And do it soon, because I
know a beautiful little stream up
there filled with
trout, where you can
mellow out and
forget LA even exists.
-What I want to know is,
when the big retirement party is?
-I haven't set it yet.
But don't worry about it, I
expect everyone for Chief Gates
on down to be there.
Really?
-Mm, hm.
Oh, man.
Look at the time!
-Hey, put your
money in your pocket.
You own me one when I come
up time to Idaho to see you.
-All right.
Be my pleasure.
-Absolutely.
Listen, I appreciate the
two days on the street.
-No problem.
-All right.
-You take care.
-All right.
Keep me posted
on the party, huh?
-All right.
Hey, Richard.
-Yeah?
-No lamp shades.
-Get outta here!
-Just relax, honey.
This is kind of like
a trip to the dentist.
It will all be over
before you know it.
-Ha, ha, ha.
Take a look at this!
Hee, hee.
-Ooh!
This has gotta be worth, what?
A quarter of a million?
What do you do, anyway?
-That's none of your business.
-You got a wise mouth, pal.
And you're in no
position to open it.
-Look, you've got what you want.
Now get out of here!
-Don't you ever
tell me what to do!
-He didn't mean it.
Please don't hurt him.
DISPATCH OPERATOR
Attention all units
in the vicinity of 6785
Fairfield Lane, Code 30 Ringer.
Use caution.
-Uh, 4 Lincoln 20, I'll
take the Fairfield call.
DISPATCH OPERATOR
Roger, Lincoln 20.
Backup is on the way.
-I found this munchkin
hiding upstairs.
I bet you she
pulled a silent alarm.
No!
-Did you do that, little girl?
Huh?
Did you do that?
Huh?
Did you do that?
Huh?
-Don't touch her!
Damn you!
-No!
-Ugh!
Ow!
-I told you not to mess with me!
-For God's sake,
please don't kill him!
-Tie these nice people up.
I'm going to bring
the car around.
Come on, let's get out of here.
-One second.
-Police, freeze!
All right, put the
stuff down, real slow.
Interlock your fingers
behind your head.
Turn around, now!
-Come on, let's get outta here.
-Hunter, I need to
talk to you a second.
-Yeah, what's up?
-Dave Peterson
was killed last night.
We don't have any details.
He was on his way
home, and looks
like he answered a 211 call.
-I was just with him last night.
I know that two guys
were close, and...
-How was he killed, Charlie?
-Shot in the back.
-Shot in the back?
Shot in the back!
-Why are you crying?
-I wasn't crying, honey.
I was just a
little upset, is all.
-Are you a policeman?
-Yes, I am.
What's your name?
-Robin Hawkins.
I already talked to the
other policeman last night.
-Robin, did you see the men
that broke into your house
last night?
-Yes.
But they were wearing masks.
-Ah, so you couldn't
see their faces?
-No.
The men were mean.
The one with this snakes,
he pushed me down.
-Snakes?
What do you mean snakes?
What kind of snakes?
-Black ones.
-Black snakes.
Did he have a tattoo?
-No.
A bracelet.
-I see.
Is your mother and father OK?
-Yes.
-Good.
Are they in the house?
-Mm, hm.
-OK.
I'm going to go in
and talk them, OK?
-OK.
-Thanks, Robin.
-Why did they kill
the other policeman?
-I don't know, honey.
-There must be
1,000 people wearing
those medical alert bracelets.
How are we going to narrow
it down to our suspect?
-Well, I'm checking
NCIC for any convicted
felons with medical problems.
-That's great.
But even if NCIC
comes through, that list
will be as long as our arms.
- Look!
That's the only lead I've
got right now, Charlie.
Yeah, how you doing, Alex?
-Hi, how you doing?
Hi.
-Hi.
-I, uh, hope I'm not
interrupting anything,
I just, uh, wanted
to talk a little bit.
-Uh, why don't we go in
the conference room, OK?
-Sure, sure.
Hunter doesn't seem very happy.
-There was a police
officer that was killed,
and it's kind of a tough
situation for him right now.
-I'm sorry.
-Ah, you couldn't know.
What's going on?
-Well, I just, uh, spoke with
the head of the department
at UCLA.
We got along very well,
but he threw me a curve ball.
They won't be doing any hiring
for at least six months, maybe
a year, depending
on the funding.
-You're kidding?
I thought that they
were ready immediately.
-So did I. Doesn't
matter, I'll work it out.
Of course, you
could leave all of this
and just move with me to London.
That would be nice.
-Yes, that would be very nice.
I just don't know if I can make
that kind of move, just yet.
It's a big one.
-Whatever you
decide, we'll work out.
-Excuse me.
We do have some work to do.
-Yeah.
I'll walk you out.
-OK.
As soon as he gets in,
have him give me a call.
I'd appreciate it very much.
Thank you.
What did you find out?
-I have traced a dozen
possible suspects.
They either all
live out of state,
or they have solid
alibis for last night.
-Yeah.
I'm gonna have
Charlie put a couple
more detectives with you.
Not a bad idea.
-Hunter, Homicide.
This is Bolin over
at Holllenbeck.
I think I got something for you.
I just had a burglary victim go
through some of the property
that Andrew Seeley was fencing.
Our victim his found
his TV and a VCR,
but that's not the half of it.
-Yeah?
The TV and VCR were
stolen by some home crashers.
The same MO used by
the crew that killed Peterson.
I'd lay odds that Andrew
Seeley knows who they are.
-Tom, you've been a big help.
Thanks, very much.
Let's go.
-Uh, I'm not sure I'm getting
through to you on this one.
That stuff the cops found
your fencing leads back to me.
-So?
-So if the cops
figure it out, I don't
want you rolling over on me.
-I'm not telling the cops squat!
-Well, I'm just
making sure, that's all.
'Cause my life
rides on this one!
-I'm not a cement wall.
Pow!
I got the message.
-Didn't I tell you we
could count on this guy?
-That's what you said.
-Ah, here he is.
Third floor.
-Thanks, Captain.
-Yeah, right.
-Get it open!
Open that door!
-It's locked!
-Get outta here!
The ladder.
-We'll never make it.
-We will one at a time.
You draw his fire, I'll
cover you when I get there.
-You take care.
-I won't let you down.
Ready?
Go!
-Pratt!
You bastard, get back here!
Help!
Ugh!
Ugh!
Ugh!
Yeah, your composite
IDs him as Everett Pratt...
Armed assault, robbery,
attempted murder.
He's also a diabetic, which
gives him a perfect reason
to wear a medical
alert bracelet.
Now all we got
to do is find him.
-That's what Stroud is
gonna tell me, right now!
-Where can I find
Everette Pratt?
-Never heard of him.
-Come here for a minute.
-Hey.
Wait a minute.
-You're looking
at 10 years, punk.
Now where is he?
-Can we work a
deal or something?
-Yeah, we can work a deal.
Where is he?
-I don't know where he is.
He'd drop the stuff off,
we pay him, move stuff out.
You know how it works.
-Yeah, I know how it works.
Now where can
Pratt fence this stuff?
Come on, don't go to sleep!
-There's maybe a
dozen guys could handle
the volume the
Captain was doing.
-Good.
Start writing.
-You're thinking Kelsey is
dead, and you were almost killed?
What are we crazy
or something, here?
Let's forget the damn stuff
and get the hell outta here.
-Keep your voice down.
We're not going anywhere till
we fence the stuff we already got.
-It's too big a risk now.
-No isn't.
We're just dropping
the stuff off, that's all.
-I... I just want
out this, Pratt.
-OK.
You're out.
There's the door, hotshot.
All you got to do
is walk through it.
But you leave with nothing!
-All right.
All right.
All right.
I will unload this stuff.
I mean, uh, so who's
gonna fence it now?
-Kelsey mentioned a
guy named Magruder.
Says he's really good.
Take your hands off the table.
-You really have to go?
-Yeah.
I have a lot of work to do.
-Never quit, huh?
-I told you, a police
officer was murdered.
Hunter is probably in
interrogation right now,
and I should be there.
I really should.
-You don't think he can
handle it on his own?
-It's not about him.
It's about me.
It's part of my
job, you know that.
-Did you tell him yet?
-No, I haven't told him.
Not yet.
-I see.
-It just has to
be the right time.
-What's going on?
-Alex, there's just so
many changes happening,
and I'm... and here you are,
willing to give up something
that you've wanted
for your whole life.
You know, if this thing
at UCLA doesn't work out,
I'm gonna feel responsible.
-You're not responsible.
I am.
I'm an adult.
I can take care of myself.
But I want you to
be a part of my life.
Everything's going to be OK.
-Yeah, I know it will.
- Captain!
- Yeah.
What's... what's going on?
-Yeah, I run the list of
names I got from Stroud
against Kelsey's
known associates.
You got one constant.
A fence by the name of Magruder.
-That's great.
-Yeah, is McCall in here?
-Yeah, she's inside.
Hey!
Hey, listen, take it easy.
- I know.
I will.
Yeah.
This is William
56, show as Code 6
at 1700 Pershing
Street, near Mill Island.
OK.
I don't know if Magruder is in
there or not, or who he's with.
Let's not take any chances.
Why don't you go
around to the back?
-OK, give me about 20 seconds.
-You got 10.
-You're so demanding.
-Hunter, he's going
north around the back!
-Magruder, hold it
right there, police!
-Ugh!
Aah!
-You know,
Magruder, I don't think
that prison food
agrees with you.
You ought to
lose a little weight.
All right.
Bend your arm at the elbow.
How's that?
-It's all right.
-All right, raise your
arm up in the air.
Raise it above your head.
How's that?
-That's a little sore in there.
-All right.
-How's she doing?
-It's all right.
No broken bones, just some
bad bruises, possible hematoma.
I suggest she put her arm in
a sling for a couple of weeks,
but that's up to her.
-I don't... I don't
need to do that.
It's fine, really.
-Well, I'm all finished.
You can leave
whenever you'd like.
-Yeah, thanks, very much.
-Thank you.
-All right, take it easy.
-I just finished
talking to Charles.
He wants you to take
the rest of the day off.
I don't need to take
the rest of the day off.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
What have you got on Magruder?
-Well, we think Magruder
is a hotline to Pratt.
We're setting a surveillance
at Magruder's right now.
-You think he's
going to go for that?
-He has no choice.
-Dee Dee!
I just heard.
Are you all right?
-Yes, I'm fine.
How did you even
find out I was here?
-I called the precinct and
they told me you were here.
-What happened?
-We want to go
interview a suspect.
-He attacked you, right?
-No.
-I mean, that's
what they told me.
He...
-No, he didn't attack me.
I just got knocked down.
-Just... what?
Like that's no big
deal or something?
-Look, I got to take care
of some, uh, business.
I'll talk to you later.
-I'm a doctor.
I'm used to being
around hospitals.
But this is very new for me.
You're acting like this is some
kind of an occupational hazard,
or it goes with the
territory, or something.
-Alex, that's exactly right.
I mean, come on, you know that.
Sometimes my job
demands that I get
put in dangerous situations.
That's part of my job.
-OK, all right.
All right, look, I haven't
said no to Oxford yet.
Perhaps we should reconsider.
How's this?
I take the job, you come
with me. is that good?
-Wait a second, you're
asking me to give up what I do.
You're asking me to
give me up my life here.
-Give up what?
The possibility of being killed?
-But, Alex, you
don't have a right
to ask me to give up what I do.
-I have every right!
I love you, we're getting
married, remember?
Look, Dee Dee, uh, this is
not some capricious demand
that I am making.
I don't know if I
could handle the idea
of my wife being shot at.
I don't know if I
can deal with that.
-Well, Alex...
-I realize that I'm asking
you to make a sacrifice.
Just think about it, all right?
Please.
-Alex, I don't... I don't know
if I can make that sacrifice.
-Well, we're both going to
have to deal with that, aren't we?
Make sure you tuck that
camera next to the other TVs.
Now with all the electronic
stuff that's in here, even
if someone notices
it, they'll think
it's just a part of what
Magruder is fencing.
We've got a surveillance
van two blocks away.
The way it's parked,
they'll never notice it.
-Good.
-You're sure betting a
lot that Pratt will show up.
-Well, no, Pratt will
show up all right.
And when he does, he's mine.
-Hi, how you doing?
You're supposed to
be home, aren't you?
-Yeah.
I didn't want to be at home.
-Oh, you know Tom
Bolin, don't you?
-Sure.
Yeah.
How you doing?
-Listen, I'm going to
finish up around here
and get back to the van.
If anything happens,
I'll let you know.
-Yeah, thanks, Tom.
You should be home, resting.
-Why don't you
stop mothering me?
I'm fine!
All right?
-Hey, what's going on?
-There's nothing going on.
-Hey, wait.
What... what are you doing?
Hey, McCall.
McCall.
Hey.
Hey, wait... wait.
What are you doing?
-I used to know
exactly what I wanted.
Now I just don't
even know anymore.
-Sergeant Hunter.
-Are we going somewhere, Alex?
-Yeah.
I'm going to London.
What can I do for you?
-I'll get right to
the point, Alex.
I want you to back off McCall.
-Yeah, well, uh,
with all due respect,
Sergeant Hunter, what happens
between me and Dee Dee
is really none of your business.
-It is my business, Alex!
I'm a police officer.
McCall is my partner.
I'm working on something
very, very important.
I need her.
You're screwing her up.
Back off!
-You are way out of line, here.
-Yeah.
Yeah.
-I love her.
-Yeah, so do I. Back off.
That's a good idea.
-Hey, listen.
I'm sorry that I got
upset yesterday.
-Ah, forget about it.
-I should have told
you what's going on,
but with Peterson's
murder and everything,
it just never seemed
like the right time.
Now I don't even know
if it matters anymore.
-Hey, just what is going on?
-Alex asked me to marry him.
-What did you say?
-I said yes.
But after yesterday
afternoon, I'm... I'm not sure.
It just seems like
it's all up in the air.
I don't know.
DISPATCHER: 1 William 156?
-56, go.
Go to channel 21
for transmission
from Detective Bolin.
-Bolin, Hunter here.
Hunter, where the hell are you?
-We're about five minutes away.
-Good, because we
got action down here.
Some guy by the name
Williams showed up
claiming to be a
friend of Kelsey's,
just about 10 minutes ago.
-Good.
And, Hunter, he said he
and guy named Pratt are
coming back in a couple of hours.
Boy, I don't like this.
-What are crying
about now, Jake?
-I don't know.
There's got to be
some other way.
You know, I don't
trust Magruder.
-Look, we're just
going to drop this stuff
off and be on our way.
Five minutes, we'll be gone.
In and out.
-What kept you?
-We got no time
for conversation.
You got the money?
-Yeah, I got your money.
-Freeze!
-Hi.
How long you been
standing there?
-Not very long.
-I just needed to be alone.
To have some time to
think about some things.
-I went by the
hotel to talk to Alex.
I, uh, I owed him an apology.
You see, last night,
I went over there
and kind of shot my mouth off.
Uh, I was a little out of line,
so I went back and told him so.
He loves you very much.
Do you love him?
-Yeah.
I never thought that I feel like
this again after Steven died.
But I do.
-What are you
going to do about it?
-I want to be with him.
That means going off to London.
He, uh, he's been
offered a great job there.
Of course, I checked
into it for myself.
There's a
organization I can work
with there that deals with kids.
So I can still be of service.
That's important to me.
It's part of what this job
has been here for me.
And this job is...
Oh, I wouldn't trade
the memories for anything.
There all right here.
It's just saying
goodbye is really hard.
-Look, we're too good
of friends to say goodbye.
What we've had is
almost like a marriage.
So saying goodbye
is not like a divorce,
it's just that it makes me feel
good to know that you found
someone you want
to share your life with.
It makes me feel good.
-I'm going to miss you.
We've had some times, huh?
-Yes.
-I guess if I need to find
you I know where I can look.
-Yep, right over there.
Extension 315.
Look, go to Alex.
Go to London, buy
a big nice house
with lots of closet space.
You're going to need it.
Go ahead.
Go on.
-I now pronounce
you man and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
I present to you Doctor
and Mrs. Alexander Turner.
-Oh, congratulations!
-Good luck, good luck.
-Thank you, very much.
-Congratulations.
-Bye bye.
-Goodbye, Doc.
-Well, looks like the
end of an era, huh?
-Oh, I don't know, Charlie.
I think it could be the
beginning of a new one.
Yeah, come on.
Let's see if we can.
Bye, bye.
Bye, bye, Doc.
-Bye, bye.
Bye, bye.
-Wait a minute.
You gonna throw that thing?
-Oh, that's right.
