Drop, partner.

This is not a homicide, Bernie. This is a cop killing. Was he wearing a vest?

Yeah, he was.

Pulled him out right through it. You mean we got some sicko out there using

silicone -coated bullets?

Admit it. You killed him, didn't you? I killed that one.

Why don't you go over there and see if you can get his motor turned on, huh?

Captain, the killer is still out there.

You were the best, and now I'm the best. It's as simple as that. You gonna bring

him out?

Yeah, it's the only way to catch this guy.

Rick Hunter, breathe!

You lose.

Works for me.

Lost my touch in the memory of

Nice bike.

Was I speeding, officer?

Sure were.

Clock to go on just under 90.

Will you get your license out for me, please?

Excuse me? On the count of three.

One.

Two. Hey, buddy, take your hand away from that thing.

Three.

You lose,

partner.

This is 1 Mary 982.

Cancel that code, 6.

I lost the guy.

That's a 10 -4. Call canceled. Out.

Help!

Help! Somebody call the police!

Rufus! Stay away, sucker!

Rufus! You make me catch you, I'll break your neck!

see someone chasing a guy in high heels, I get interested.

I was down staking out the drugstore in fifth.

Yeah, well, thanks for the assistance, but I've got everything here under

control. It's Rufus again?

Why doesn't he change his M .O.? He usually makes an ugly woman.

Help! Help!

A big moth! Rufus, shut up! They know.

So they know.

Let's go, Rufus.

Man, you just made me put a run in my style.

You know, it looks like you got somebody else's purse again, Rufus. Either that

or you've changed your name to Thelma Jones.

Look, man, it was dark. I must have picked up the wrong purse by mistake.

telling you. I swear I thought it was mine.

You're going to steal a purse next time, Rufus. Why don't you try and make it

match?

Look, I thought I had the right purse, okay? I swear to you I did.

Besides, why don't you guys out busting criminals?

Because we like pounding on punk heads like yours. Now, you know the routine.

In the car.

Man, I'm not about to get in that car. Are you kidding?

Get in there. Man, that car's a mess. Besides, I just had my dress cleaned.

Well, take it off, dear.

Yeah, well, you wish.

Attention all units.

Officer...

Officer never had a chance to get his gun out of the holster.

Paramedics said the bullet went right through his heart. I have the complete

report for you right here, sir. I have been taking notes since I arrived on the

scene. I was the first officer on the case. I got here about 600 hours.

I have most of my notes right here for you.

Was he wearing a vest?

Yeah, he was.

Bullet went right through it. You mean we got some sicko out there using

silicone -coated bullets?

I have no mention of the bullet used in the assault, sir, but my men are working

on it.

Vets would have stopped anything but a silicone.

Captain, when is this country going to outlaw silicone bullets?

The only reason for silicone bullets is to kill cops.

I'll be damned if I know, Hunter.

I do have the make and model of his last pullover. It's a green Chevrolet.

Bernie, if you look real close from here, you just might have the address

phone number of the killer. Hunter, there are more than enough officers

on this case right now. Why don't you and the brass cupcake go and control

traffic somewhere?

Oh, no. I want to stick around here and watch you put this case together.

This is right up your alley, isn't it?

Oh, my God.

How could this happen?

I'm sorry about this, Doug.

Does his family know?

No, we haven't told anybody yet.

I know his mother.

Jimmy was the only son she had.

It's not going to take at all.

We're sending a car over. Maybe you'd like to go, Doug.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I should.

We went through the academy together, you know.

We were best friends.

You find out who did this.

We will, Doug. That's what we're here for. You know that.

I'd like to remind you, Hunter, that I am the senior officer on this homicide.

This is not a homicide, Bernie. This is a cop killing. We're all senior officers

here.

Hey, are you all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

He was just a motorcycle cop and...

My husband Steve was a motorcycle cop.

He pulled a car over one day and...

Well, it never goes away,

you know?

No, it doesn't.

Oh, I found something.

It's a Valiant.

And it's new. It's not weathered by the sun. Did you see where it was sitting?

Yeah, on the ground over there.

If you were in a car off the side of the road and just to be smoking a

cigarette, what would you do with it?

Put it out.

Right. You'd put it out on the ashtray or you'd throw it out the window, which

would be to the left of the road. But either way, you wouldn't crush it out.

This has been crushed.

Yeah, it's been crushed. So what are you trying to say?

Come here.

You smoked?

Yeah. Give me a cigarette, would you? Sure.

Now, crush it up.

It's not lit.

It's humored. Just crush it up.

You see?

We're either looking for someone on a motorcycle or somebody with a large hole

in his floorboard.

Bernie said the last call he put out was on a green Chevy.

Yeah. We'll check with the night dispatch and see if we can get some

information other than what Bernie might have in his notebook.

I really want this one, Hunter. Yeah, so do I.

I can't believe he's dead.

I mean, I must have been the last person he talked to.

Yeah, we know.

You were the dispatcher on duty last night.

Did Jim say anything about seeing a motorcycle?

Wait a minute.

You know something?

It wouldn't be on the sheets because he had it canceled.

But he did call him something about a bike.

It had no plates. It was a new Nighthawk.

That's right. I remembered because he made a comment about it being the second

one he saw this week.

He was just crazy about bikes.

But he canceled the call, right?

Yeah, he called back and canceled it. We didn't run a trace.

That's why it wouldn't be on the computer sheets.

So there was a bike.

Yeah, there sure was.

Just hold on, Liebowitz. Yeah,

with a killer using silicone -coated bullets, you know he's gunning for a

You'll get your rights. You can call your lawyer right after we talk to the

captain.

Captain, all of our black and whites picked up our man in the green Chevy,

Seymour Liebowitz.

They picked him up in Robinsons. Get this.

Shopping for bathtubs.

This man looks like an accountant.

This man is an accountant.

Hey, you put up much of a fight, Bernie? Oh, no, thank you not to harass the

suspect.

Captain, would you like me to proceed with the interrogation of the suspect?

Oh, yeah, by all means.

Let's move.

I said let's move!

Let's go talk to Doug before he checks off, huh? Yeah.

Oh, wait a minute, Hunter.

You're not going to go talk to him in there, are you?

Yeah, I am.

I can't go in there. That's a men's locker room.

Well, keep your clothes on.

Hey, Doug, did Jim say anything to you about a motorcycle?

Yeah.

Yeah, he did mention that he was thinking about getting his own bike.

He liked the Nighthawk.

Why? What's that got to do with anything?

Oh, I was just trying to put a couple things together. It was all dead.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Rick, we went to the Mustang bar a couple nights

ago, just playing around.

There was a bike in the parking lot. It was a Nighthawk, and Jimmy was admiring

it.

There was a guy inside the bar, Rick.

He'd been drinking a lot. He was real obnoxious. He started putting the make

Jimmy's girl, and we told him to back off.

Well, he got all upset.

So we flipped our badges at him just to cool him down.

Rick, the guy went nuts on us. He started calling us pig this and pig

We didn't think anything of it because cops have to deal with that stuff all

time.

Are you saying the guy in the black bike killed Jimmy? Is that what you're

saying? I'm not saying that, Doug. Now just settle down.

We want this guy as bad as you do, but you got to relax.

And I'm sorry about Jim.

What'd you get?

Nothing but a bunch of proposition.

Couldn't find who owned the bike.

Oh, great.

This is the third pair of nylons I wrecked in this car this week. You got

sticking out all over the place in here.

Got my change?

I'll use it to buy a new pair of nylons, okay?

Bingo.

Yeah, he's on the move.

You think maybe he's our man?

Hey, we're going to find out.

Cover me, would you?

Freeze, please.

Don't move.

Don't shoot.

Please.

I'm sorry about that.

What is this?

I think a mistake.

We thought you were a suspect in a killing.

A killing?

Yeah, a police officer was shot last night. He came from the same bar you

from. I worked there.

A cop was killed?

Yeah, there were a couple cops there last night.

Maybe you saw some sort of a disturbance, like an argument?

Yeah. Yeah, cops. I remember now.

A couple of them came in the other night. They kind of got in a fight.

He dropped a couple of trays of drinks for me. A fight with who?

Some guy.

He's a real jerk.

Stands around half the night playing video games.

I don't know what it was about, but they took it outside.

Probably some chick.

Well, one of these cops was killed last night.

Think this fella's capable of that?

I tell you, he's a real freak -o, but killing a cop... Does he come there

Yeah, every day about five.

He works nearby. Gets off then.

That bike you're riding, is that yours?

Yeah.

Here's my card.

We might want to talk to you later, so keep it in case you think of something.

Yeah. Yeah. Sorry once again, huh?

Okay.

Maybe a dead end, huh?

Maybe not.

Let's go see if we can find this guy at the bar, huh?

How'd you get in?

What were you talking to up there?

You remember those two cops that came in the bar the other night?

One of them was just killed last night.

I guess it was just a couple of cops checking it out.

Let's go to bed.

The waitress told me his name.

Stoner Jackson.

Nice name.

Yeah.

Hey, look at that guy. He's been standing over there playing that machine

about an hour now.

Okay, partner.

Get your gun ready. Doesn't look like our boy is going to make his move

Why don't you go over there and see if you can get his motor turned on?

Yeah.

Oh, wait a minute.

Yeah, don't forget your margarita. No, I hate margarita.

I had to get you something and then you weren't here. All girls like margaritas.

Great.

Excuse me. Be right with you, honey.

The guy at the video game, what's his drink?

Stoner? Beer.

I'd like to buy him a beer, please.

You can take it to him. He's a lousy tipper.

I'm going to buy me a new drink.

Well, thanks, pal, but maybe another time.

One, two, three.

Here's your beer.

You lose. Put your money in.

Well, I'm sorry.

Want your beer anyway?

I don't know you do. If you did, you wouldn't have forgotten.

I've been in here for a while, and nobody's bought me a drink, so I thought

start the buying up and get things going in the right direction.

Thanks.

You want a plate?

Yeah, what do I do?

The idea is to outdraw that little guy.

I don't give a shot.

Scalpel, put your money in.

You're dead.

Let me try it again.

You might want to buy yourself one after you see this.

Draw, partner.

On the count of three.

One. Two.

You gotta be kidding.

You cheated. You killed him.

You killed my partner.

Admit it.

I didn't do anything.

You killed him, didn't you? I killed that one.

You call it in.

Attention all units.

Unit 21 sued of a possible 187.

I'll be glad to come!

Try this.

This guy's a cop killer. Get back, Doug.

Get him out of here.

Hey, look, we want this guy as bad as you do, so take it slow, will you? This

cowboy killed Jimmy.

Don't get it thrown out on a technicality.

Look, I think you should just get back on your bike and get back to the

precinct.

Go ahead. Get out of here.

Think we got him?

I don't know. Let's go find out.

I didn't kill any cop.

Then why the hell did you run?

The cop comes out swinging at me.

He's yelling and hollering that I'm a cop killer.

I didn't kill any cop.

I went parole.

That scared.

We're going to check you out, Jackson.

You got one hair out of place and you're dead.

I'm a thief.

I steal.

I'm not a cop killer.

You don't have one friend in this room, you know that?

Let me just tell you something.

If you're lying to me, I'm going to snap your head off and stuff it black. You

got that?

You know what silicone bullets are, Jackson, huh? You know what they're used

for? They're used for killing cops.

Look, I told you.

I'm not a cop killer.

I didn't kill anybody.

You're pretty good at that game, aren't you? You know, the one in the bar, the

one where you shoot the bad guy? Maybe you think cops are bad guys.

What about the game, Jackson? Just how good are you?

I played for kicks.

There's a lot of people better than me. The cops beat me. I think Broderick's

the best at it.

Yeah, the cops.

You got in a fight with the cops, didn't you?

Maybe you wanted to get even.

It was nothing.

It was just words.

I told you, I am not a cop killer.

I didn't kill anybody.

You got that?

You got a light.

These your cigarettes?

Yeah.

Not our man. No.

You mind me asking you why?

He smokes the wrong kind of cigarettes.

He doesn't smoke the right kind of cigarettes.

You've got to be kidding me. No, Hunter, tell me you're kidding me. Because I've

got reporters screaming down my neck, I want to end this case, and you're

telling me things I see on Columbo.

Look, Captain, we've worked hard on this case, and we know we've got the wrong

man. She's right, Captain.

Hey, Hunter, you know, you're just a human cop.

You're just like every other cop in the department. You don't have any special

psychic abilities.

You're not Superman.

You're not Sherlock Holmes.

You're just like every other homicide cop on the force. What makes you think

have all the answers?

I had a good childhood.

Now look, Captain, the killer is still out there.

And the memory of...

on a three.

I was really hoping you were going to be wrong on this one. Yeah, so was I.

So where do you think this is going to lead?

I don't know. Our only connection was the Bard.

I thought we were really on to something. Now I don't know.

Hey, wait a minute.

Didn't Jackson say that the cops beat him at the machine, that they were

than him?

Yeah, right.

Well, I remember seeing the initials J -I -M in the top part of the machine.

know, when you get the highest score, you put your initials in.

So Officer Tanner got the highest score.

His initials were at the top.

Well, so, Jim played the machine. So what?

Let's go take a look at that machine.

Three.

You lose, partner.

Next couple, what's your money? There's the initials J -I -M, and then D -K, and

then B -R -O, and S -J, Stoner Jackson. He was right. He scored fourth.

McCall, I think you're on to something here. D -K, Officer Doug Kirkwood was

number two. Jackson said this guy, uh, Deke Broder.

was better than him, and he's number three.

And the only two guys that beat him were the two cops.

Well, that was standard reason. They're trained marksmen.

And they're both dead.

Hunter, you know where this is going?

Our shooter goes after anyone who beats him on this machine and then draws them

down.

Do you know how that sounds? We take that to the DA. He's going to talk us

on our butts.

Yeah. We've got to draw this guy out.

No, go ahead.

Want to get me a drink, honey?

Okay, partner.

Get your gun ready. It's time for a Western shootout. Draw, partner. On the

count of three.

One, two, three.

Good shooting, partner. Hey, you're pretty good. You're the best.

Do you mind if I play a game?

I usually play alone.

Oh, there's not much of a challenge in that.

Okay, partner.

Get your gun ready.

It's time for a Western shootout. Draw, partner. On the count of three.

One, two, three.

Good shooting, partner.

Your time is on the screen.

That's not bad.

Where did you learn to shoot like that?

On the range. I'm a motorcycle cop.

You're a cop?

Yeah.

Did you hear about the two cops they found shot?

Yeah, I sure did.

The newspaper said they were gunned down.

Yeah, a little animal.

But we're going to get it.

Yeah, I hope so.

What's the RH stand for?

Rick Hunter.

Thanks for the game.

I appreciate it. Maybe I'll see you in here some other time, huh?

Yeah. I'm Broder.

What'd you find out?

It's Broder.

And he's pretty fast on the draw, too.

I'll run his name down, see what information I can get.

Yeah, good.

I want to... Sit on this guy and see where his next move comes from.

He smokes the right type of cigarette. Now I want to see if he rides a bike.

Not even

close.

He's got to be waiting for something.

And I'll bet she's it.

I think we just made the

connection with the bike.

You're crazy.

Looks like he's going to be there for a while.

Why don't we check out his truck?

Well, it's a camper. That could be breaking and entering.

I don't know.

He looks like a pretty forgetful guy.

Maybe he left the back door open or something.

You know, you'd be shirking your responsibilities as a police officer if

didn't investigate to make sure there was no burglars back there.

See what you can find out and meet you back at the station. Yeah.

Hi there. What the hell are you doing in there?

Don't you remember me?

You remember... I was at the bar, remember?

Don't you remember the bar?

I said, what are you doing in there?

Well, your camper door was just open.

You shouldn't do that. You know why? Because it's burglars.

I've been looking at you and watching you at the bar.

Sherry? You know Sherry? She told me all about you.

You don't know Sherry. I do.

I know Sherry.

Oh, no.

I don't know Sherry.

I won't tell her anything.

That would spoil everything.

Get the hell out of here.

Don't you want to have a little fun, huh?

Huh.

I put those bullets back, Hunter.

My own husband gets shot when he pulls over a car, and I put the bullets back.

Oh, there's nothing you can do.

You go in there without a search warrant to get this whole thing thrown out.

We've got to catch this animal.

You know, they won't put a law in the books against using silicone bullets,

we make one tiny mistake stopping a guy from using them, and we get tossed in

jail. And it's all how you look at it.

You know, we hang out and try to keep the animals from coming over the wall.

When they do...

We just kick them back over. We keep kicking them back over and pray to God

the wall doesn't fall.

What happens when there's an animal on that side of the wall that you really

want to get?

You go after him.

You're going to bring him out?

Yeah, it's the only way to catch this guy.

On the count of three.

One, two, three.

Good shooting, Parker.

Your time is on the screen.

Compare your time with the best.

Hey, looks like I beat you.

Well, you think you're pretty good, don't you? Oh, the best.

I mean, look at my score.

It's right on top there.

Why don't we just play one more, then we'll see who's the best.

Oh, I can't. I go on duty later on tonight.

Well, maybe we should just play another game then, just to make it fair.

Look, I told you, I go on duty.

Besides, I beat you fair and square. But we're going to play again.

I'm the best.

And I'm going to get another shot at you one way or another.

You were the best.

Now I'm the best.

And that's simply the way it is, pal.

Hunter, he's back.

Rick Hunter!

Carter!

Breathe!

Blink in your dust.

Don't even think about it.

You can't beat me.

You lose, partner.

You know, somehow it doesn't make it any better.

One animal's life for two human beings.

Yeah, but we got him, Hunter.

Yeah, we sure did.

Whose turn is it to buy?

Yours. I paid last time.

Oh, you know, I don't think I have any quarters.

You know,

sometimes I think you always run out of change just so you don't have to buy

coffee.

Help! Police brutality!

Let go of me! Will you shut up?

I found this guy running off with some lady's purse. I had to chase him over

and a half blocks.

I picked this purse up by mistake, man. So what's wrong with that?

Hunter, Hunter, would you come over here and talk to this fool?

I got a billy.

Well, Bernie, how you doing? She hasn't hurt you, has she?

She? Hey, honey, I'm more man than you'll ever be and more woman than

ever get.
