All language subtitles for Hunter S03E09 The Contract

They've given me an hour and a half to
raise four million dollars.

Well, we were just running around the
neighborhood. Thought we'd drop by and

acquaint you with your right.

Hello.

Well, we're going to do it our way now
you got that.

Why didn't they just snatch around the
Gardner's Dale?

They considered everything else. Why not
that?

Well, we're going to have to figure that
out.

That's why they pay us the big buck.

And I did hear back from the Lovacs,
Jerry and Cindy are coming. All right,

about Mr. and Mrs. Lewis?

I don't know. I haven't heard back
from... Get on the floor.

Commander took two slugs to the chest.
He died instantly.

How about witnesses, Barney?

No, victim secretary. She's up in the
house. He's pretty shook up.

Looks like she put up a fight the whole
way.

Yeah, she struggled.

Found her scarf on the lawn.

Found this in the street.

Mickey, do me a favor. Call Lieutenant
Finn and have him get a hold of the FBI.

Right. Thanks.

Have you heard anything about my wife?

Mr. Hennessey?

Who the hell are you?

Well, I'm Sergeant Hunter, and this is
Sergeant McCall. We're from Metropolitan

Homicide. We found this scarf and this
necklace. Can you tell us if they belong

to your wife? You think I give a damn? I
mean, my God, my wife is gone.

Where the hell was everyone?

We were sitting at the desk going over
the guest list for Saturday night, and

didn't hear anything. He was just there.

Can you describe the kidnapper?

He was all dressed in black. He had on a
ski mask and a black leather jacket

with an eagle on the back.

Tall, short, round, thin.

What?

He looked big.

He looked big?

You were there. You can tell us more
than that.

Did he say anything?

He told us to get down on the floor.

Did he have an accent?

I don't know if he had an accent.

You don't seem to know anything.

Did he hurt Laura?

Mr. Hennessy, if I could have done
anything to help her, believe me, I

have. But he was pointing a gun at us.
Cale, you must have noticed something

about him.

I mean, what color was he?

I don't know.

Mr. Hennessey, calm down.

Calm down?

My wife has just been kidnapped and God
knows what else, and you have the gall

to stand there and tell me to calm down?

Mr. Hennessey, we understand how you
must feel. You don't understand

You're cops. This happened here to me,
to my wife.

Your gardener's been murdered. Has
anybody called his wife?

Don't pick the phone up until I tell you
to.

Yes?

Speaking.

Jerry, Hunter.

Yes, I'm listening. I want you to put a
tracer on 555 -7892.

I understand.

Conversation in progress, I'll hold.

Yes, you have my word.

That doesn't give me enough time.

No.

No, wait, I'll get it.

I'll be where you want me when you want
me to be there.

Just please, please don't hurt my wife.

Please.

Jerry, what'd you get?

I understand, yeah.

Thank you.

What'd they say?

They've given me an hour and a half to
raise $4 million.

They said no cops, no FBI.

So we better come to an understanding.

If you want any cooperation from me at
all, I set the rules.

What are those rules?

I call the shot.

That means the FBI is out of this
completely.

Mr. Hennessey,

trust us. You should work with us. I
call the shots, understand?

Otherwise, I tell you nothing.

Mr. Hennessey, this is not just a
kidnapping. A homicide occurred here.

I get my wife back with me. You can play
detective all you damn please.

But unless I have your agreement that
I'm the one that runs the show, I'm not

going to tell you what they just told me
to do.

Yeah, agreed.

This guy is going to be a big pain in
the you -know -what.

Listen, his wife's been kidnapped. He
has the right to be hysterical.

You want to keep the FBI out of it? No,
I don't know about that.

I don't like the idea of Hennessy
setting these rules. Well, neither do I.

just have to make up ours as we go along
the way.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Hunter.

You've interrupted a very delicate
operation here. We understand that,

However, we need a long -distance
tractor and a car.

I take it you people have a yellow
authorization form?

Willie, give us a break, will you? This
is an emergency.

You know, it's always an emergency with
you two.

I give you what you want, you peel out
of here, and I wind up the flack from

brass for ignoring procedure.

Uh -uh.

No way am I going to put my butt in a
sling because you two won't take the

to go inside and make out a... Two
tickets to the Raider game Sunday.

How about it, Willie?

Cheerleader. Neville.

On the other hand, the safety of our
city's at stake here.

Out of order.

Hey, here comes Mr.

Congenial.

Everything set?

Thanks, Bill.

Did you record the serial numbers of
those bills?

We hardly had time to count them.

I don't really like having to say this,
but I don't give a damn about the money.

Let's get going.

Well, we'll get going as soon as we get
you wired for sound.

You're going to have to wire Clint.

I'll be riding with the two of you.

Well, what's the matter, Mr. Hennessey?
Don't you trust us?

These people made their instructions
very clear.

No cops or FBI involved.

If you want to have any part in that,
you'll do it with me right there beside

you keeping you on it. Understood?

Yeah.

Come on, Clint. Let's go get you wired
for sound.

I'm at the liquor store.

I'm going to the phone.

Yeah, if you didn't hear that, I'm going
to the corner of Amherst and Paso

Grande. Is this what you expected?

Voices are being electronically
distorted. Prints won't do us any good.

to roll, though. No, Mr. Hannity, I was
hoping they'd be a little stupid. So far

they're not.

Yes. Did you break the paper and pencil?

Yes. Drive east on Longacre Road for
exactly 22 .3 miles.

You'll see an oil pumping station.

There's a field phone there.

It'll ring when you get there.

We have a vantage point that covers 200
square miles, so if you're followed, we

will know it.

If you fail to meet these conditions,
Mrs. Hennessy is history.

I understand.

Get the money out of your car, put it in
the blue one, and take off.

The keys are above the visor.

Did you get all that?

Yeah, I got it, Clint.

The tracking kizmo, I don't know how to
put it on the other car. Forget it. Get

going. We've been outsmarted.

We're going to the pumping station up on
the right. It's about 100 yards on.

You see the telephone?

Yes. We're getting too close, Hunter.
Pull over.

It's getting out of voice range.

Pull over, damn it. You made a deal. Now
stick to it.

It's the interference from the power
lines. I don't think there was an

Yeah, Clint, you're coming in. Where are
you?

I'm on my way back, just about past the
oil pumping station.

I found the rusted -out Hulk is
advertised and put the suitcase inside

of sight.

Did you see anybody?

No.

Nothing.

I could see for miles.

They probably made the pickup by now.
You want to check it out? No.

I can't be sure they picked up the money
yet.

I could be watching to see if there are
any police around.

I'm sorry. I'll let the two of you get
involved in the first place.

Give it a break, Clint.

Take a seat, please.

Sorry.

Clint, you're driving me crazy.

Go home. Give one of your girlfriends a
call.

Sir, if it's all the same to you, I'd
like to stick it out.

I really care what happens.

You did a good job for me today.

Possibly even a dangerous one, and I
thank you for that.

But now give yourself a bringer.

You've earned it. Go home, please.

Okay.

Can I call you later and see what's...

Your plan isn't half finished yet.

We don't have time for this.

Yeah.

You know, sometimes I wonder.

About what?

If you did this for me, or because you
think your husband did you wrong.

Oh, darling, we haven't got time for
that either.

Okay, let's get going.

What about Hector?

He's not badly hurt, is he?

Maybe. We're home free. We're going to
be rich.

Just tell me he isn't dead.

He came at me with a chainsaw.

Nothing bad was supposed to happen.

It wasn't my fault. He wasn't supposed
to be there.

You're not blaming me for Hector, are
you?

No.

He wasn't supposed to be there. It
couldn't be helped.

All right.

Okay, come on.

I'm back.

Come on, come on.

I don't have to wait and suffer with me.

That's okay, Mr. Hannity.

We have nothing to do until we talk with
your wife.

I waited my whole life for her.

And now, in a single day, I may have
lost the only thing in life that

really matters.

Yes? Roger?

Laura?

I'm okay. They didn't hurt me.

Where are you?

I don't know. I'm out on Highway 31
someplace.

They dumped me here about an hour ago,
and I found a highway patrolman.

Stay right there.

I'll come and get you.

No, darling. They can get me home a lot
faster. I just want to come home.

All right.

I'll be here.

I'll be right here, and you tell those
guys I want to hear the sirens when you

get here.

She's all right. She's coming home.

I think maybe you could not question her

tonight. Not even be here when she gets
here.

Tomorrow, maybe.

With the provision that we get to talk
to her first thing tomorrow morning.

Absolutely.

You're not eating.

Obviously something is eating you.

Talk to me.

Kidnappers were very smart.

Didn't take any chances.

Everything they did timed out just
right.

Except they made one very stupid
mistake.

Yeah, they killed Hector Sandoval.

They considered everything else. Why not
that?

I don't know. I'm thinking about that
myself.

Why didn't they just snatch around the
gardeners, Dale?

Well, we're going to have to figure that
out.

That's why they pay us the big bucks.

Eat. You're not eating.

I'm not hungry.

Eat. You're losing weight.

I don't want to eat.

Your clothes are hanging. Eat.

I'm with the police.

May I speak with you a little later on
outside with my partner?

Please, you don't have to wait.

We could talk here.

I don't want to intrude.

You do not intrude.

I can help you.

Yes, I need to ask you some questions
about your husband.

Please sit down.

Mrs. Sandoval, did your husband have a
regular work schedule?

Yes. And what days did he have on?

Sunday and Monday.

But, uh,

today is Monday, and he did work today.

Why was that?

Tomorrow is my birthday.

He wanted to be with me.

Did your husband call Mrs. Hennessey to
tell her that he'd be coming to work

today?

No. He knew what work he had to do.

He no need to call.

La Senora Hennessey, she's safe.

Yeah, she's home.

She's safe. She's well.

Hector would be glad.

He liked her.

Could we please speak to your wife
alone?

No, not alone.

You're not going to put her through
anything unless I'm there to keep an eye

you. That means my lawyer or me.

You make the pick.

Roger, darling, it's okay.

I want to help them.

Let's just get it over with.

Can

you

tell us anything at all about the
kidnapper?

He was large.

Kind of heavy.

I never really got a chance to see his
face, but he spoke with kind of a

gravelly voice.

He kept me in a room the entire time,
and whenever he'd take me out

to use the bathroom or to feed me, he
made me put on one of those

sleep masks, I guess it was. Were there
any distinctive sounds that you heard,

something that might help us decipher
where you were?

Just cars.

There was a lot of cars.

I don't know. Maybe there was a freeway
or a highway or something. I really

don't know.

They kept you in one room, is that
correct?

Come on, detective. She's already told
you she was locked up in one room. Mr.

Hennessy, this is a homicide
investigation which your wife is a key

Shut up.

Roger, darling. It's okay. Let me do
this, okay?

Please, darling.

At the end of the day, he took me out
and he blindfolded me and he put me in

car. And we drove for, I guess it was
about an hour.

Then he stopped and he untied me and he
shoved me out of the car.

And he told me not to take off the
blindfold for two minutes.

And I didn't.

When I finally did, he was gone.

And I started walking.

All right.

All right, that fits.

Now, she has told you what she can.

Was Hector Sandoval supposed to be here
yesterday?

No, it was his day off.

But he was here, so you didn't expect
him.

No.

I wondered about that, too.

I asked Gail, my secretary, and she
didn't know anything.

He just showed up. They didn't call her
anything.

These must be Clint's footprints here.

They must be the kidnappers.

I'm gonna go check out the car.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Keep the change.

Thanks a lot.

Have a good day.

You too.

Yeah.

Clint, it's me, Gail.

How you doing?

All right. How about you?

Great.

Gee, Clint, I'd like to be in there, not
out here.

Yeah. Sure. Come on in.

Place a little messy.

Can I have one of those?

Oh, I got, uh, I got some wine and
French. No, no, no, I like beer.

That never was just a man's drink, you
know.

Right.

So, uh,

what's up?

Well, Clint, um,

you and Laura really pulled it off.

Thank you.

What are you talking about?

Oh, come on, Clint.

You know me. I'm the girl who never
misses anything that goes on at that

You know, Laura told me about the
contract that Mr. Hennessey had her

And that helped me to figure it out.

You and Laura staged that whole
beautiful $4 million caper.

And I'm impressed.

Yeah, I'm really very impressed.

Don't tell me. You slept great, and now
you're raring to go. Nope.

I had two hours of sleep, and yes, I am
raring to go.

Well, I didn't sleep well at all, so we
have to maintain a low volume.

Right around 3 a .m. last night, I had
one of those, whatchamacallits?

I don't know. What do you call it?

Insight. Insight.

I think it was an inside job.

I was thinking the same thing.

Right. The real professional kidnapper
would not have let Laura Hennessey live.

He would have killed her because she was
a witness to Hector's murder. You think

Laura Hennessey was in on it?

There's a good chance of it.

I think I'm starting to wake up.

You know, his wife's back to a camping
Hennessey.

Maybe it's Clint.

Perhaps.

But let's start with Gail.

Why Gail?

Well, you know the electronically
distorted voice we recorded?

Yeah. Sounds like a woman to me.

Who is it, Clint?

It's those police detectives.

What do you want?

We stopped by Gail Morton's apartment.

She wasn't there. We figured she might
be here. Is that right?

What's going on? Why are you suddenly
interested in Gail?

Mr. Hennessey, is she here?

I think maybe you better come in.

Still no answer, and none of her friends
have heard from her.

Gail seems to be missing.

She was supposed to be here at 8 o
'clock this morning.

What are you looking for?

We think the kidnapping was an inside
job.

I told my wife that.

On Monday, I give up $4 million worth of
ransom money. And on Tuesday, her

social secretary disappears, huh?

Roger, I just can't believe that. Gail
wasn't just my social secretary. She was

also my best friend.

I think that something's happened to
her. Does she have any family?

A husband? Any children?

No, she was divorced and they never had
any kids.

You have a photograph of her?

Yes. Why?

Well, we wanted to circulate the
photograph, get it out to the press.

Tell me, when's the last time you saw
her?

Well, she left last night about 6, and
she seemed perfectly fine to me.

And what about you?

She was gone by the time Clinton and I
got home from the office last night at 6

.15.

When I saw her last, she seemed okay.

She was very cheerful.

Well, if we'd have that photograph, we'd
be on our way.

Yes.

What do you mean the guy doesn't have a
wreck? He drives a car for a living for

crying out loud.

Yeah,

I know.

I got some bad news and I got some so
-so.

Bad news is Judge Turnell will not give
us a search warrant on Clint.

Insufficient cause.

And you know, if Turnell won't give us
one, nobody will.

It's going to be one of those days I
attempt it.

Yeah, the so -so news is Gail's...
Picture made the front of the paper.

Go ahead. Lock me up. This is a matter
of principle.

I will never bend. I will never relent.

Go ahead. Lock me up. Lock me up. Go
ahead.

We'd rather have you bend, Mr.

Kirshenbaum. Maybe just a little. Never!

There is a lesson there somewhere,
Hunter.

Clint, where is Gail?

You know, don't you? Where is she?

She had it all figured out.

Oh, my God.

She came to me last night with all these
demands.

What did you do to her?

Hey, your best friend was about to throw
us to the wolves if I didn't give her a

third of the money. I had no choice.

Clint, you had a choice, and you made
the wrong one, didn't you?

Got to take it easy.

Didn't you?

Take it easy.

When we first started talking about
this, nobody was supposed to get hurt.

Roger would lose me and $4 million he
wasn't going to miss anyway, and he'd

over it soon enough, and now two people
are dead.

Wait a minute.

Are you blaming me for Hector again?

I don't know. Maybe not for Hector, but
Gail. That never should have happened.

Laura, I was protecting you, not just
me. I was protecting the both of us.

Hey.

You know I... You wanted it to go just
the way we planned it, don't you?

Yes.

We started this together. We'll finish
it together.

I got that hostage hit away nice and
cozy, so you tell him if he doesn't meet

demands, she's gonna die.

Mr. Kershbaum, you can't kill a Ferrari.

Oh, no.

Mortal injury.

I can cause mortal injury.

So you tell that scum of a landlord I
want my security deposit back.

All 200 bucks of it or she dies.

I'm calling the probation officer. Go
ahead. You think I'm on? No, I don't

I will.

Excuse me. I'm Mrs.

Mikelski. A fellow back there told me
you're interested in looking for this

missing woman.

Yes, ma 'am. We sure are. Yeah, well,
being a concerned citizen, I thought you

ought to know I'd seen her last night.

Are you sure? Where?

Paying her cab fare.

And then she went into the apartment
building right next door to mine.

I saw her clear as day.

What's the address of that building next
to you, ma 'am?

4284 Edgemont Drive.

The Grand Alarms.

Thank you very much. You've been a big
help.

Yeah, well, like I say, you know, being
a concerned citizen, I... Any rewards?

Hi, Clint.

What are you guys doing in this neck of
the woods?

Well, we were just running around the
neighborhood. Thought we'd drop by and

acquaint you with your right.

Come again?

No, the right to remain silent.

What is this, a joke?

If you give up the right to remain
silent, anything you say can and will be

against you in a court of law.

Hey, I'm in no mood for gags, okay?

You said you saw Gail yesterday.

I believe the word you used was, she was
looking cheerful.

Well, you lied to us, Clint. That wasn't
the last time you saw her. You saw her

here last night in your apartment.

We had a feeling when she left, she
wasn't feeling too cheerful.

The lady wasn't here.

Last night or ever, we don't socialize.

You guys are playing games. You're
playing with my lawyer, which you forgot

mention. You're under arrest.

Oh, you want to fight?

I hope you do.

It's not a good idea.

You guys have no right to arrest me.

No right?

I happen to know Michael Snow. He's the
best criminal lawyer in Los Angeles. And

he's going to have me out so fast, he
won't know what hit you.

And then he's going to file false arrest
charges on both of you.

L -56.

Carlos is calling you from the morgue.
Wants to be patched through. Patch him

through.

Hunter, are you there? I'm here.

Somebody stole my two -by, and I want
some fast action.

Check with one of your stiffs. What do
you got, Carlos?

A body, female, got pulled out of Santa
Monica Bay about an hour ago.

No ID, but the age and physical
characteristics fit the description of

you were asking about.

Want to give her a look?

As soon as I drop off a prisoner in
McAuliffe to precinct, I'll stop by.

Thank you.

What do you think, Clint?

Any comments?

Yeah. Yeah, but there's a lady present.

Ah, the mysteries of the briny deep. So
many disparate denizens fish.

plankton, seaweed, and an occasional
corpse with a pair of 60 -pound

tied to the ankles.

Is this your lady? Sure is. What was the
cause of death?

Strangulation. Where'd they find her?

This guy lost a brand -new 380 Kazuki
outboard in 60 feet of water, so he got

couple of scuba divers to help him find
it. They never found the outboard,

but... I love irony, Hunter.

All artists do.

I guess that's why I work here.

You, on the other hand, Hunter, do not
care for irony.

Sergeant McCall, please.

Hi.

Whatever you do, do not let them release
Clint.

When?

Okay, look.

I should be there in about ten minutes.
Meet me out back.

Laura? Laura?

What's wrong?

Get packed. We've got to get out of
here.

They found Gail's body.

The cops are going to be here any
second. We've got to get out of here

Come on.

What's the matter with you?

Didn't you hear what I said?

There's four million bucks waiting for
us out there. We've got to get out of

country now.

Take it and go. Go before they get here.
What are you talking about, take it and

go? You said that they're going to be
here any second.

The plan goes wrong and you want out?

No, no, that's not it at all.

I'll meet you, wherever you say,
whenever you want. No, you won't.

No, you're going to spill it to the
cops, right?

How could I do that? I do that, I go to
prison too. You're going to tell him it

was just Gail and me. That's what you
got planned, right? You're going to keep

playing the victim. No, darling, I love
you. You know I love you. I wouldn't do

that to you. Yeah, you loved me.

You loved me once.

But you couldn't take the heat, could
you?

All good things must end.

You don't love me.

You don't love me.

She's alive.

I'm going to check the house.

This is Sergeant McCall. Send an
ambulance, code 3, to 1744 Eau Claire,

Hills. And dispatch a couple of black
and whites, code 3.

Yeah.

McCall's calling from her unit.

We patched her through.

Go ahead.

Captain, we just left the Hennessey
house. Mrs. Hennessey may be the latest

victim. She, uh...

He's alive, but just barely.

We left as soon as the ambulance got
there. You left the scene of a possible

homicide?

Yeah, it's called hot pursuit, Captain.
We think we know where the killer is.

His name is Clint Langer, and if we're
right, he's not going to be there too

much longer.

Hunter, you looked in that wrecked -out
car. There was nothing there. There was

no money.

He's not going to leave the money laying
around. He buried it.

Clint, you touch that gun, I'm gonna
kill you.

Now, very slowly, put it on the
floorboard.

Slow.

Atta boy.

Put your hands up where I can see him.

You ain't out of the car.

Come on, put your hands up.

Watch him for me.

Spread him out.

Now, where's the money?

In the trunk.

Hello.

Dr. Bartels, 2 -1 -2, please.

Dr. Bartels, 2 -1 -2.

Respiratory therapy to the emergency
room.

More than I'll ever be able to repay.

Doc says that Laura's going to pull
through very nicely because she was

here so quickly after the fall.

I'm also thanking you for her because
I'm not going to let you speak to her.

Now on, any talking you have to do,
you're going to have to do to our

You see, I am not going to let Laura
spend one second behind bars if there's

anything that I or my money...

Your wife is an accessory to murder
before and after the fact.

She didn't kill anybody.

We'll let the courts decide that, won't
we?

She's going to testify against Clint
because those killings blew her mind.

She was damaged more emotionally than
she was physically because people were

killed who she cared about.

She blames herself.

You think I'm a crazy old man, don't
you?

You know whose fault this really was.

Are you serious?

Laura and I were together for six years
before we got married.

And she loved me as much as any man has
ever been loved.

And I knew that for sure.

And so I asked her to marry me.

And I made the biggest mistake I ever
made in my life.

On the advice of counsel, I asked her to
sign a contract, a prenuptable

agreement.

She left me if she... Divorce me.

She got nothing.

The day she signed that contract is the
day she stopped loving me.

So now do you understand why you're not
going to get any help from me against

her?

I just showed her the contract that she
signed.

And then I tore it up and dropped it in
the waste paper basket.

When I left that room just now, she was
laughing and crying.

Longest speech I think I've ever made
