Hunter (1984–1991): Season 7, Episode 11 - Acapulco Holiday - full transcript

Hi, beautiful, give
me your money.

Don't hurt me.

I won't.

Then just do it.

Give me your ring.

It was my mother's.

I don't care.

My watch, just take that.

Now, the ring.

Just take the car!

I don't wanna.



Gimme the ring.

No, no.

It's OK.

It's OK.

Take a deep breath.

It's OK.

Yeah, that's him.

Yeah, that's the guy.

Anything you want to add?

No, you got him right.

And when you got the goggles
off, I could see him real good.

His hair, it was just like that.

So how we doing?

This is the drawing from
Andrew's description,



and this one came
out the robbery.

You sure about this now?

I know what I saw.

OK, thanks, son.

Good work.

Thanks, buddy.

Six robberies with assault
in the last 10 weeks.

Yeah, and this time
he left a dead body.

What about northeast division?

Did they give us prints
or anything like that?

Not one thing.

Print off a couple
of hundred of these

and get them out on the streets.

Maybe somebody
will recognize this guy.

All units, possible
make on the ATM

homocide side
suspect at 413 Hyperion.

RD21 requests backup.

R20 Charles, R21
Charles, Molenski,

I have a five minute ETA.

What have we got?

He's in that bar over there.

He's been in and
out a couple of times.

Matter of fact, that's him now.

OK, you're sure that's him.

It's gotta be.

OK.

Sit out here, I'm
going in the back.

LAPD.

Have a word with
you for a moment.

Stand back from the bar.

Don't move.

Don't eve.

All right.

All right.

Turn over.

Put your hands behind your back.

Suspect is down,
send an RA unit.

All right, pipe down
a second here.

Pipe down.

The official press notices are
being Xeroxed as we speak.

I'm telling you, man,
check would the ex.

I was behind only two payments.

She said she had the
cops out looking for me.

This is why I ran
and took off at the bar.

Wouldn't you?

I don't know, I
never killed anybody.

Captain, get us some details
about the suspect you arrested.

All right, the suspect's
name is Jack Roland.

He was arrested in
the lake area by Officers

Hunter, Molenski and Dorsey.

We heard Roland was
injured during his capture?

Well, he tried to
evade the officers

and he ran into
the flow of traffic.

He had a brief encounter
with an old station wagon.

Was he hospitalized?

The station wagon
made out worse.

I was at work last night.

I was at work the night when
you said the lady got robed.

You can't get in
and out of the place

that I work without
being videoed.

Why don't you just check it out.

I'm waiting for that
information right now.

Great.

Good, Jess, thanks.

Been selected

is none other the exquisite
creature of grace and charm,

Elaina Cantu.

Grand mayor, crown your queen.

Will, honey.

How was your day?

I got a first coat
on the whole place.

I'm exhausted.

My poor baby.

Money is money.

Oh.

I brought you a present.

What is it?

What is it?

Come on.

Come on.

Now, now, Will, don't do that.

Come and get it.

Give it.

Oh, oh.

It must have cost a fortune.

I bought it from
a private party.

What a shame she had to sell it.

Come in the dining room.

I have a surprise for you.

Let's go out.

Don't be silly, dinner's ready.

I'm not being silly.

I'm being spontaneous.

Will, we have to save money.

If you'd sell this place,
we could put a half a million

in the bank easy.

No.

I will not sell Casa Encanta.

Gloria, just listen to me.

Gloria is worth working
for now, isn't she, babe?

Yes.

I lost the handbag
Mr. Goldman gave me.

I left it in the
homeopathic store.

So did you call them?

Yes, but they didn't have it.

Somebody took it,
and it was my favorite.

It was so nice.

OK, darling, I will make
it all better for you, OK?

And in the course
of our attempts

to protect the innocent, we do
sometimes make a mistake, Mr.

Roland, and I do hope you
accept the department's apology.

Yeah, well, that sketch almost
convinced me I was guilty.

Mr. Roland, once again, I'm very

sorry you got hit by a car.

I've taken worse.

Thanks for understanding.

Listen, I hope you
guys catch the real guy.

We will, believe me.

On, and Mr. Roland,
nonpayment of alimony is a felony.

Check's in the mail.

Thank you.

Oh boy.

Christmas, did we just
dodge a bullet or what?

Look, I want a full
effort on this thing.

Anything you gotta do.

You gotta bring this guy in.

I know.

Gonna kick your butt tonight.

Check this package out, man.

Jack Roland?

Yeah.

Today's your lucky day.

I agree.

Lawyer?

The lawyer who's going
to make you a rich man.

Joanne, do me a
favor here, would

ya, and check this list
of pawnshops for me?

Yeah.

Any specific order?

No, it's a top priority
list, so just pick whichever

one you want and good luck, huh?

Thanks.

Pawnshops.

I could use a new guitar.

I'll buy it, whatever it is.

Thanks, um, but
I'm a police officer.

Oh, then I'll do
something wrong, Officer.

Actually, maybe you can help us.

We're looking for this
guy, and we believe

he may be trying to pawn
some items in the area.

I saw this in the paper.

I thought you caught the guy.

Afraid not.

Here's a list of
some of the items

he might be trying to pawn.

Um, here's my card.

If you see him, give me a call.

Thanks.

Uh, excuse me.

Are you free for dinner?

No.

But, if you were, would you be?

Just do me a favor, if you
see the suspect, give me a call.

If he comes by here,
he's your prisoner, officer.

Thanks.

Put the money in your purse.

Now, your ring and your watch.

Hey, you turn around
and I'll cut your throat.

Come on.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

I'm telling ya, they
don't have any offense

and that's why they're
not winning any games.

Surely, that guy's too
fat to cause trouble.

Come on, lay off the fat guys.

Captain Devane?

Yeah?

There's someone here to see you.

Thank you.

Well, Charlie, what
do you have here?

A little lunch time treat?

Not really.

Captain Devane.

Miss Maynard, nice
to see you again.

This is Detective Sergeant
Hunter, Leslie Maynard.

Miss Maynard, it's a pleasure.

Sergeant Hunter.

Well, uh, it was a
pleasure meeting you.

I'll just go about my business.

Oh no, please, join us.

You don't mind, do ya, Charlie?

Why don't you have
a seat, Miss Maynard.

Thank you.

I'm representing Jack Roland.

We're filing suit against
the city of Los Angeles

and Sergeant Hunter
for personal injury

as well as punitive damages.

What?

What?

Miss Maynard, let's get
our facts straight here.

Your client accepted
my apology in this office

and walked out
under his own power.

He didn't look like he
had any injuries to me.

Oh, but he does.

His physical and mental
health, for example.

It was metro divisions
blatant disregard for the rights

of citizens and your
personal pension

for unnecessary violence
that resulted in this,

a malicious and unwarranted
pursuit of my client.

This is ridiculous.

You'll find specifics
in our complaint.

I'm looking forward
to seeing you in court.

Did that just happen?

Yes, I think it did.

Yeah?

Sergeant Hunter, the
Sanchez woman is here.

Oh, good.

Listen, don't worry
about this now.

You talk to the victim.

See what she has to say.

I only saw him
for a second, when

he jerked my purse
off my shoulder.

Now what else did he take?

My gold crucifix and the
money I got out of the machine.

OK, look, Julia, until
we catch this guy,

we recommend you
cash your checks

from within side the
bank or at a neighborhood

market near your home.

What?

I can't use an ATM in my own
neighborhood in broad daylight?

I might as well go back to New
York and live in Central Park.

Baby, I'm home.

I know you're there.

She lies on her golden flank.

Her hair purified
with the strong sun

and scented of the rain gust.

You are the most beautiful man.

I brought you a gift.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, elegant.

Do you really like it?

It's elegant.

Very much.

Very much.

I'm gonna have to do something
very special for your birthday.

You are my special thing.

And you, my powerful
man, what do you desire?

The scent of rain in the
dusk on your shoulders.

Now, the city attorney's office
assigned me to be your council.

But you have an obligation
as respondent in this case

to give depositions,
make court appearances.

So I've got to
take time out to tell

with some shyster attorney, huh?

Well, you have a lot more
to lose that the city does.

What does that mean?

Well, the city's obliged
to pay for your defense,

but if you lose, they're not
required to pay your damages.

At least that the
way I understand it.

Is that correct? That's right.

Oh, this is ridiculous.

Yeah.

Well, a couple of years
ago, a police officer

from central division by the
name of Amos Cassidy was sued.

Same circumstances
is your having.

Well, the city
didn't come through.

The guy lost his house, kids
college money, everything,

and you could sum up
his problems in two words.

Leslie Maynard.

Are you sure that this is legal.

I'm a lawyer, I
know what's legal.

Thanks.

I want you to wear that neck
brace whenever you go out.

We have a couple
of ways to go here.

Is there any
condition you suffer

from now that you'd
like surgery for?

Basketball knee?

Tennis elbow?

No.

Your sure?

Yes.

Any other aches and
pains in the last 36 hours?

Besides the neck.

Nothing really.

Let me ask you a question.

You must make off pretty
well with these kind of deals,

don't ya?

I do well when my clients
do well, and they're not deals.

Look, Jack, you're entitled to
compensation for what happened

to you, but we can't
sue mother nature.

You understand?

OK, I've been
having a little trouble

sleeping the last
couple of nights.

Nightmares.

Now, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

I don't remember.

I'm sure it was due
to the hot weather.

See this psychiatrist.

See this psychiatrist?

I can't afford a shrink.

All your medical
bills will be covered.

Excuse me.

Mr. Cassidy?

That's right.

Amos Cassidy?

Yeah.

Sergeant Hunter, LAPD.

Do we got trouble?

Well, Elliott Rogers said
you may be able to help me

with a problem I've been having.

What's that?

Leslie Maynard.

Oh, that woman ruined my life.

What else you want to know?

Well, what the hell happened?

Well, I popped this gang
banger that one night,

he's in a liquor store
to buy something.

He gets righteous with
me, I take him down,

I busted his nose.

The damn kid had 14 priors.

The judge said I didn't
have probable cause.

The city council decides
that I wasn't acting

within the course and
scope of my duties.

Hell, I figured my
duties were to put

these bastards behind bars.

I get stuck for $75 grand.

I was a week this side of metro.

I pass the orals, I nailed
the physical, everything.

Well, I said screw it.

I won't wear a badge
for this damn city.

You got trouble, all right.

That's for damn sure.

I can't believe
this is happening.

They want a half a
million dollars in damages?

Guy's in a neck brace.

Says he's permanently injured.

Yeah, he's gonna be
permanently injury all right.

What I don't understand is why
they're suing the city as well?

Uh, standard operating
procedure in these cases.

So what do I gotta do
now? get a part time job?

I'll see you later.

Will, I am have not
selling the house.

Even in the shape it's in
you could get half a million.

We could buy a condo,
travel, do anything we want.

I am doing what I want.

But, Gloria, we could
travel the world together.

I saw the world when
I was making movies.

You saw Burbank.

You didn't even go
to Acapulco when

you made "Acapulco Holiday."

The rest of the world
is crowded and ugly.

Casa Encanta is my world.

You are my world.

What the hell is this?

Roland.

Roland.

Roland.

Hello?

Are you the guy in the papers?

The one that's suing that cop?

Who's this?

I'm warning you.

You will never live to
see a nickel of that money.

You wanna tell me who this
is I'm talking with, please?

It's not important who
I am, just remember,

you won't be the first
person that I've killed.

Who is this?

Hello?

Look, I can't do
a deposition now.

Come on, it's OK.

It's OK.

You know you're
going to have to tell him.

I always get nervous
around the police.

Tomorrow would be fine.

Here, just a second.

This lady just
saw our ATM killer.

How do you know it was him?

Looked just like the picture.

I keep it posted in my church.

Neighborhood watch
community awareness, you know?

Yeah, Rogers, let me
call you right back, huh?

Yeah.

Thanks a lot.

What time did
you see this fella?

Silver Lake again?

Miss Adams was shopping for
food at a neighborhood market

when she saw him.

Captain?

I got a call from Dale Shawn,
says he's something for us.

I'm headed down to
the pawn shop right now.

Good.

Good.

Get a MERV unit down
there, continue to campus

the neighborhood.

Take Maybelle with ya
and do a house to house.

Let's get this guy.

Hey, Mr. Shawn, I really
appreciate your calling.

What have you got for me?

Well, I think maybe I
was a little mistaken.

Well, what do you mean?

As long as you're
here, I'm about to close.

I thought maybe you and I

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

You're not gonna
get angry, are ya?

You must get off duty sometime.

Listen, buster, you're
about a minute and a half

from a jail cell.

Ah, I'm just trying
to get a date.

I'll get you a date with
a Superior Court judge.

I'm sorry.

OK, here we go.

I saw the man with my own eyes,
crossing Fountain on Delgado.

When was that?

Just the other day.

They ran right in front of me.

I almost hit 'em.

What do you mean they?

The old movie
star, Gloria Morrell.

She lives right up on Myra.

Well, tell me about her.

Oh, she's the oldtime actress
from the '40s and the '50s.

Drives a 1950 Cadillac.

Real strange.

Ignores her neighbors.

Hardly ever come out the house.

But lately, she's been
taking walks with this man.

Sergeant.

Elliot Rogers is on the phone.

He says you're late
for your deposition.

Look, I can't talk
to Rogers now.

Tell him I went flyfishing.

He said, when Hunter
says he's going flyfishing,

tell him those were
Cassidy's last words.

OK, Miss Adams,
this is Officer Dorsey.

Have her show you
the Gloria Morrell home.

Go there with her, wait
until I get there, OK?

Thanks very much.

OK.

Why does everything
with you have

to be a nutritional experience?

Because I love
walking in the morning,

gets those endorphins humming.

I'm going to work.

I don't know when I'll be back.

Oh, Will, it's your birthday.

You can't resist me.

I won't let you.

All right, I'll cut
off work early.

I have to do something.

I've got to do something.

First of all, he
fit the description

of the man we were looking for.

Secondly, when
I entered the bar,

and I identified myself to
him, he took off running.

Now, up until then,
he was a suspect,

but when he took off running,
he became a prime suspect.

So you weren't certain
he was the right man

when you walked in?

Not until I talk to him, no.

Yet, you chased him
through a restaurant?

He said it was a bar.

Into rush hour traffic
on a major thoroughfare?

It was not rush hour traffic.

It, uh, it was midmorning.

Yes.

Look, how long
does this gotta go on?

Let the record show
the respondent's hostility

and his expressed desire
to leave the deposition.

I do have things
to do, you know?

Yeah, do those things
include issuing death threats.

Now, what the hell
does that mean?

Aren't we going a little
overboard with our fabrications

here?

My client has
received several death

threats over the telephone.

Well, it's no wonder.

Would you say that, uh,
Sergeant Hunter's voice

is the same as the voice
you heard on the telephone?

Yes, it is.

Where's Miss Adams?

Oh, she had to go
home, but she says

she is available if you
ever need her again.

She's a kick, isn't she?

Oh yeah.

Yes?

Miss Morrell?

Yes.

Gloria Morrell?

Yes.

Sergeant Hunter, LAPD.

Police?

I hate to disturb
you, but, uh, we're

looking for a man
in this neighborhood.

Have you seen him?

Why, yes.

It's Phillip.

Phillip Martin.

Phillip Martin?

So you know him?

Yes.

Yes.

Is he here?

No.

No.

But he did live here.

I rented him a room.

He's a nice man.

I see.

Well, the reason I'm
asking, Miss Morrell,

is some of the
neighbors have seen you

walking in the
neighborhood with him.

Oh, yes.

Oh, well, he did a
lot of things for me.

He's a house painter.

He went to the store
with me and then,

of course, this
neighborhood is really

going to the dogs,
Sergeant, you know?

Yes, I know.

When is the last time
you saw Phillip Martin?

Three two days ago,
when he moved out.

I barely said goodbye.

Do you know where he went?

East, I think.

He said something
about the cold weather.

Miss Morrell, would it be
possible for me to come in,

look around.

Oh, the place is
in a terrible mess.

Do you really have to?

Well, if it's an
inconvenience, perhaps not.

Maybe another day.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Thank you.

Hunter, Mike from
DHD called, said

he'd call you direct with Gloria
Morrell's telephone records.

Oh, great, thanks very much.

I'll expect his call.

So, uh, what are your
chances in this lawsuit?

Oh, I would say
they're about as good

as a one armed man
juggling chainsaws.

That good, huh?

Yeah, well, we'll
be all right, I think.

Molenski.

Call for you on 73.

Yeah, thanks.

I'll take it at my desk.

I'll see you at dinner.

Thanks.

Officer Molenski.

This is Dale Shawn.

Look, Mr. Shawn, I really
don't have time to waste.

I'm sorry.

It was a stupid thing.

I can make it up to you.

I got some of your stuff.

A woman's wallet, black.

Wrist watch, gold
chain, crucifix,

keyring, diamond
ring, 3.1 carets.

When did they come in?

Now.

Two minutes ago.

But it wasn't the guy.

It was some old bleach blond
actress type, Gloria Morrell.

Gloria?

What's going on?

Happy birthday, Will.

Do you know what happy
birthday is in Spanish?

Feliz cumpleanos.

Come.

I've got something very
special for your birthday.

Tickets to Acapulco?

First class airfare and
hotel accommodations.

You sell the house?

No.

I pawned the
little surprises you

keep from me in the mannequin.

You pawned my things?

I pawned our things,
and the police were here.

The police?

Wait a minute, when?

Today.

Now we can walk on the
beach in the moonlight.

Are you nuts?

Throwing away my
money on garbage like this?

Stop it.

Will, stop it.

What's wrong?

Is it because I took the
things out of the mannequin?

I just wanted you
to see Acapulco.

You are a stupid,
stupid old woman!

Oh.

Will.

Yeah, Hunter.

Yeah, hey, Mike, how you doing?

Listen, thanks for calling back.

Yeah.

Look, what I needed to know
was what the dicks turn up

on Gloria Morrell's
phone printout?

Uhhuh.

Yeah.

All right, just a second.

OK, yeah, go.

Uhhuh.

Jack Roland.

Wait a minute.

Jack Roland.

ROLAND?

Yeah.

When was that?

Uhhuh.

How many times?

Three times.

OK, give me his address
real quick, will ya?

OK.

Mike, well done.

Thanks very much.

I want my money.

Who the hell are you?

I said, I want my money.

Take it, take it, take it.

I want the money you're
going to get for suing that cop.

Stop stalling.

Listen, the suit hasn't
been settled yet.

I just got a divorce.

I'm tapped.

You got money in
the bank, don't ya?

In the bank.

I want an advance.

Don't you lie to me.

Look, I got like $500 in
the bank and that's all.

Then you're dead.

Drop the gun, Willie.

Police.

Pratt!

Is he dead?

Yeah, he's dead.

That guy is nuts.

Listen, I want to thank you for
what you did for me back there.

I really thought that
guy was going to kill me.

Mr. Roland, you forgot
your damn neck brace.

Sergeant Hunter.

Wow, Miss Maynard.

I take it your client survived
his ordeal last night?

I'm happy to say he's just fine.

I just wanted to let you know

Oh, listen no apology necessary.

I just wanted to let you
know that one incident

has nothing to
do with the other.

We still intend on
proceeding with the suit.

Good.

That'll give me a chance
to present my three police

officers who saw your client
dance around without his neck

brace on.

See ya in court.

Miss Morrell?

Sergeant Hunter.

Miss Morrell?

I'm ready now.

Miss Morrell, I came by
to talk to you about Will.

Oh, is he here?

Well, that's just it. He
won't be coming back.

He's a millionaire
playboy, you know.

He could have been a great
actor, but he was too rich.

He was too busy to bother.

What about you, Sergeant?

Great profile.

Come to the party tonight.

Of course, you'll
have to change.

It's black tie.

We're going to have a cast
party for "Acapulco Holiday."

LD is coming.

Hanna will be here.

Sam Speigel is bringing
Sam Houston and Olivia, too.

Hoovy is playing.

We're going to
samba all night long.

You do know how to
samba, don't you, Sergeant?

I do so love to samba.

Well, you can at least rumba.

Sergeant?
