All language subtitles for Hunter s05e04 Dead on Target 2

Tonight on Hunter.

26 rounds and 9 millimeter.

Legs, abdomen, and chest.

You know, all I do is stay in this room.
I can't afford to lose many more

friends. Where's Rose? I don't know.
That's a bad answer, Wick.

Nightshade existed to get Dag in and out
of places, Hunter. I think Stephen Say

killed a Cambodian prince to get six
million dollars in numbers.

Gonna kick this cold turkey.

If she's strung out on black gum opium,
she'll have a tough time kicking it.

She's gonna get sick.

In part one, Dead on Target.

It doesn't seem like it's been 20 years
since I was sitting with you guys in a

stink hole eating out of my helmet.

I want to get a picture of everybody for
the cap. Come on up.

Randall Fane killed himself.

What?

What happened?

Rose finally left him and I guess he
couldn't handle it.

If you're willing to tell me, I'm here
to listen.

You know, he and Rose seem so happy
together.

What happened?

You gotta tell me what happened to
Randall. I gotta know.

I want you to come with me. I can't do
that, Rick. Look, I'll sell my things in

a little while, and I'll go home to Hong
Kong.

You heard her. I'll break it.

Be careful in Chinatown.

What's Madman?

Madman is what the Air Force called that
napalm raid I told you about.

Boy, when you say Randall was obsessed,
you weren't kidding.

We're dropped 100 miles up the river
north.

Our mission was to find a tribal prince
who...

who had emeralds and stones that he
wanted to use to buy a guerrilla army to

fight the Khmer Rouge.

The Madman Trail gets hot again after 20
years. Six million in emeralds would be

far behind.

I don't know how Randall found out I was
undercover.

He filed to the Air Force for Madman
operations.

He got your name.

You killed Randall, man. I'm going to
prove it.

A naval security review of Stagg's work
as an agent.

I just seen you hit me.

If I tell you, Rick, you've got to
promise to help me.

What do you mean, help me?

And now,

Dead on Target, part two.

26 rounds of 9mm.

Legs, abdomen, and chest.

Two full clips were emptied into the
wall and the table on the floor.

The case is mine, Charlie.

Did you get a good look at the gunman?

No, they had me pinned down behind the
table. No one really got a good look at

him. But the woman next to the gunman
looked a lot like Rose Fane.

Well, write it up in a report and then
go home.

I'm on the case, Charlie.

You got the right.

I'm sorry about Theo.

You were lucky.

Over 60 rounds were fired. I'm more than
lucky.

Misintentionally.

You're out on your feet, Hunter.

You need a ride?

Hunter, do you need a ride?

No. I'm okay, thanks.

Okay.

I'm going to go check out that Major
Vaughn, see where he heads after he goes

work. Yeah, that's a good idea.

I've got to break the news out.

Yeah, open up.

It's awful early.

Yeah, I know. Your mother let me in.

I had earplugs in. Otherwise, I would
have answered.

Alan, Theo's dead.

Boy, I must be keeping some damn
pharmaceutical company in business.

This prescription hasn't run out since
1969.

Theo's brother lives in Ohio, Alan. He
wants the body shipped back there. I can

get the name of the funeral home if you
want to send anything along.

Randall will talk about Steve's
finances.

Oh, yeah.

He kept this big file of newspaper
articles and financial statements

and disclosure report.

Randall hated Stagg.

But you knew that, right?

You can't blame the guy, can you? I
mean, there was Randall with this... oxy

-acetylene rig going to welding jobs,
and there was Stagg calling the

wine steward by his nickname.

Randall thought that Stagg took the
emeralds from the prince during the

raid, didn't he?

Yeah. Did he think that Theo was
involved in it?

No.

Not Theo.

Stagg was the rich one.

You know, all I do is stay in this room.

I can't afford to lose many more
friends.

I thought you'd want to take a look at
this before you tie a string on to Voss.

Now, this one here on the bottom is the
copy we got from the Marine Corps. It's

the real McCoy.

The one on the top is the one we found
in Theotis White's apartment taped

underneath the drawer.

It's a phony.

Well, it's really hard to tell. They're
both Xerox. And heavily censored.

Well, so let's compare it line by line.

Investigations into Private Fane's
actions have concluded that he showed

cowardice in the face of the enemy.

Because of his delay sustaining heavy
casualties, 1st Recon Battalion was

withdrawn.

That's on the phony report.

Yeah, but there's a correctional tape
put over there, and it's typed over.

Well, so then this was in the original
report until the forger deleted it.

Corporal Stagg's inexplicable behavior
suggests serious misjudgment, possible

dereliction of duty.

Reports of missing gems should not be
discounted.

Well, now we know what's faked, but who
faked it?

Safety on that.

You heard about Theo, didn't you, Steve?

He's dead?

Yeah.

I read about it in the paper.

My God, Rick.

Shot to death.

How'd he walk into that?

Oh, that's good.

Now, wait a minute. You've already
twisted me into this, haven't you?

Well, just forget it.

I was here all night long.

You can ask my staff.

You pay your staff.

Listen, my lawyer thinks we've got
grounds for an harassment suit right

He's advised me not to talk to you.

Did you know Theo made a copy of the
fake man -mad report?

No, I don't know about any of this. I
said I didn't. You also said you didn't

me over the head, too.

All right, all right. I went over to
Randall's just to pay my respects to

She was gone.

I look around outside.

I didn't go inside.

Why don't you tell me about the emeralds
and how you killed Theo because he was

going to rat you out to me?

You're crazy.

My God, Hunter, you are crazy.

The killing started 20 years ago. It
even hasn't stopped.

I'm going to stop it.

1 William, 156.

56, go.

1542 is a lead on your suspect, Richard
Wing. They're standing by at 5941 Soda

Street. Roger, 56 in route.

Where's Rose? I don't know. That's a bad
answer, Wayne. I can't find her.

You're her source, aren't you? I don't
deal.

She didn't score for me.

Stephen Stagg hired you. Who's Stagg? I
don't know anybody named Stagg.

I'm trying to find Rose.

Well, that's good.

You do remember our little chat down at
the park, don't you?

I told you if anything ever happened to
Rose, I'd break your neck.

Don't forget that.

Oh, and next time I see you, you better
have Rose with you.

If she's strung out on black gum opium,
she'll have a tough time kicking it.

She's going to get sick.

Yeah, well, I don't know how strung out
she is until I find her. And when I do,

I'm going to clean her up myself.

Cold turkey?

It's not fun, Rick. I know it's not
supposed to be fun, but she's the key to

this thing, Sandy. I've got to help you.

Please, help me find it.

Okay. Squeeze the street. Thanks.

Hi, big guy. Hi. I hear you found
Richard Wing. Did you bring him in? No,

didn't have anything to hold him on, but
I put the Asian passport on him. What

about Rose? Well, it is a mystery.

I do know one thing. She's not in the
morgue.

Found something?

Yeah. Yeah, come over and take a look at
this.

This is a picture of the intelligence
officer I talked to a couple days ago.

says he's assigned to Madman.

Major Alvavar to S &C.

What do you have to say? Not too much.

Apparently, though, he's got ten men
guarding Stagg's house full time.

I tell them he wound up going down to
the jewelry mart. Apparently, they know

him pretty well down there. He is a
private investor looking for emeralds,

anything big that might hit the market.

Great. Keep on him. Yeah, I will.

I also went through the books and papers
you took from Randall's. Oh.

Well, apparently he liked page 245. He
underlined a verse.

Sylvia Plath poem.

Yeah, I saw this book when I was at
Landon's.

Dying is an art like everything else.

I do it exceptionally well.

Lady Lazarus. The piece was marked with
this how -to pamphlet.

Twenty ways to take your life in as many
easy lessons?

Wow.

Talk about lighthearted fare.

Yeah.

Catch up with you later, all right?
Yeah, thanks.

Randall had a lot of books on suicide,
Alan. Did he ever talk about it?

No.

You know, you sound like that insurance
guy that was here last week checking out

a suicide clause.

Well, Randall never had insurance, Alan.

Could this have been the guy that was
here?

Yeah, and I put too much water in.

Could this have been the guy you talked
to?

Yeah, it's, uh, Mr.

Vaughn.

No, wait, it's, uh, Voss.

1 William 156, this is 1 William 157.

1 William 156, this is 1 William 157.
Come in, please.

1 William 56, go.

My suspect's gone back to square one.
The federal office is on Wilshire. You

want to call it a day? No, no.

I will meet you there in about... about
20 minutes.

Roger.

Hi. Major Voss, Sergeant Hunter.

L .A. homicide. I understand we're
involved in the same case.

I think it's time we talk about that.

What are you looking for, Hunter?

Stag, emerald, or both?

Both.

I think Stephen Stagg killed a Cambodian
prince to get $6 million in emeralds.

Calling in an airstrike to cover his
actions.

Killing half of our unit, doing it.

Look top right.

Recognize it?

Your man wants to sell it.

Supposedly it's a secret.

You'll have to ask the captain.

I did.

I conducted the original investigation
into what happened to your unit.

Danilo confirmed his last dispatch.

Detained, 24 hours. Will advised.

Nightshade. You were the radio man. You
sent it. That's right, but it was in

code. Right.

An hour later, here come Air Force F -4
Phantoms with napalm.

A raid on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, 300
miles off target.

But you reported you heard the pilots.

Madman. Madman. Dead on target.

Dead on target.

A mistake.

No mistake.

NSG agents like Stagg could call in a
sortie to cover a mission or save their

ass. He called a bombing raid on his own
unit?

Later, I debriefed Stagg. He said the
Prince wanted to massacre your unit. He

said he called in the sortie so some of
you might get away.

That was a lie.

Well, he claimed he had orders not to
break his cover.

Nightshade existed to get Stagg in and
out of places, Hunter. It was his unit.

This time he was twisting the arm of a
mountain prince to use his fortune

against the Khmer Rouge.

Emeralds. Right.

But if Stagg's got them, somehow he's
turned them into cash without being

personally involved.

Something I've never been able to prove,
otherwise I'd have a lock on him.

Where do you think Theo White fits into
all this?

Well, White might have been a leg man
for Stagg.

Maybe he was about to inform on him.

How do you think Steve timed the bombing
so precisely?

Stagg added a last code group of his own
to Dinello's message.

51258.

Stagg's code name.

Madman.

And that's why the Air Force used the
same name.

As soon as you sent it, they loaded the
napalm aboard and flew north.

You pull the switch on your own guys.

You okay?

Hunter? We still have tigers in
Cambodia.

We used to see them running from our
flares at night.

Made our countries jump.

When Randall shot one of the prince's
men, the prince wanted to know who did

We'd never give Randall over.

The trick was to avoid a fight.

Hot as a day.

When the bombing started, we tried to
call it off.

Stop! Stop!

Abort!

I pulled Captain Bonello from under a
tree.

We were on foot for a week.

The rest of the men had to make it back
on their own.

Randall, Alan, Theo, Steve.

You think Boss was telling the truth?

Sounds about right.

You know what I think?

I think he's after the ammo.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Want to go grab a bite?

Roger, 56.

Sandy, Hunter, go.

Possible on road.

Snitch thinks he saw her yesterday in a
dive off of Bloom Street.

What kind of dive?

If she's still there, she's had a lot of
smoke.

Is this it?

Yeah.

Why didn't you show me this in the first
place?

I didn't think of it. You didn't think
of it. How many ways in and out of

Two. The alley and the front door on
Bloom Street.

What do you want from me?

I want you to go around the front. Tell
everybody there's a police raid coming

down in about 15 minutes.

Send them down to the fire escapes.

Richard, don't screw it up.

I don't need any help. I'm just looking
for a lady.

Uncle, I'll take her now. Thank you.

Rose?

Rose?

Rose, it's Rick.

You're completely screwed up, Rose.

You'll start withdrawals in a couple of
hours.

I'm going to commit you to Department
95.

No.

I'm not hooked.

I'm sorry, Rose.

Do the 90 days in the rehab center and
clean up and put some meat back on your

bones. No, you can't do that to me.

Sandy, she hasn't been booked yet, so
I'll take her. She's under the

Pupils are point two. I told you
commitment's the best thing. No, I

I know we talked about that, but I'm
going to do this anyway.

I made a big mistake allowing you to go
with Wayne, Rose.

Why didn't you stay with him?

I wanted to forget.

Well, a friend of mine is gonna let us
use his cabin up in Lake Arrowhead.

We're gonna go up there and you're gonna
kick this cold turkey, okay?

Thanks. You're in for a real thrill.

Come on.

Come on, get back.

Take it easy.

Come on, honey.

Hold on to that now. Press hard.

Bathroom's the other way, Rose.

I feel better, Rick. Really.

I know. I think the worst is over.

I just wanted to take a walk.

Ready?

Ready?

Rose, let's go.

All right.

Soup's on. Come on.

Get a move on it, Rose.

You ready to eat?

I've got a better idea.

Yeah, okay.

You can eat that way if you'd like.

But you're still going to have to do the
dishes.

How you doing?

In here.

Hi.

How's it going?

Okay, you hungry?

Got some pasta for you if you want some.

Yeah? Yeah.

Well, no, I already ate with Charlie.
Thanks anyway.

So how you doing?

Well, let's see.

We've been through the sweat, the cramp,
the shake, the nightmares, the

daymares, the high highs.

The low lows, typical.

Yeah. She tried to jump me, beat me,
bore me, disgust me, and seduce me.

So you're about done.

Yeah. She's been upstairs asleep for the
last hour.

Oh, I brought you the things you wanted
for her. Great, thank you. And listen,

have you ever heard of a guy whose name
is Romeo Vargas?

Vargas? No, what?

Well, he says he knows you.

He wants to talk to you about Theo
White.

I have his address.

I'll spell you if you want to go talk
with him.

Yeah, maybe I'll get out of here. Yeah,
thank you very much.

It's in the refrigerator.

No, no!

I said no! Later!

Get out of here!

Hiya, Hunter. I wondered if you'd come.

Romeo Vargas.

Yeah, it's a stage name.

Oh, we know one another?

Sort of. You're a friend of Theo White.
So he comes in here to eat maybe once or

twice a month since I had this gig about
two years.

They give you roses. You'd think they'd
take out the damn thorns. So what's the

connection? Well, Theo and I give each
other gigs.

I mean, you know, I got him that blues
thing.

I'm the doorman at that club.

You show me your badge.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I saw one down.

What do you mean? You saw the killer?

No, I can't help you there. Look, people
out in the audience, they see me up on

the stage, but I'm not real. I'm an
entertainer.

I blame it on TV.

You know, they don't think I see them,
but I get an eyeful of all kinds of

stuff. Like what?

Like Theo. He eats here twice a month,
every first and third Friday, around

dessert, every time, and walks the same
guy, Seville Rose Suit, cane, limp.

He hands Theo an envelope, and the guy
is gone. Not even a cup of coffee. What,

did you talk to him about it?

Yeah, we will, man. I mean, I drifted by
the table once, and I heard Theo

mention something about a drive up the
coast.

St. Louis Obispo?

Bargain, you want dinner or what?

Yes!

I was giving Theo money. So what? It
wasn't a lot of money.

He knew about Madman since we were in
the Corps.

And I told him that I wasn't proud of
it. He was blackmailing you so you

him. Why would I kill him for that? The
information on Madman was public.

But the public wasn't filing for it.
Randall was.

Why would I kill my friends?

God knows how many enemies Theo made in
his business, that whole nightclub

scene.

And anybody could have taken those
papers.

Anybody. You know a Major Voss?

Who? Major Alva Voss. I never heard of
him. Well, he knows you, Steve.

And he wants to have a nice little chat
with me about you.

You know what I think?

I think you murdered Theo and Randall.
And I think you set Rose up with Wing to

keep her doped up. I did not kill my
friends! And I don't know who the hell

is. I'll bet you Major Voss gives me
something to connect you with that.

I'll bet you're asking yourself, how the
hell did he get that?

You get out of here.

Now, get out!

Air 9.

Air 9, go.

56. I'm leaving the suspect's house now.

Good

morning.

Well, the new old Rose.

I like it.

Sleep well.

Perfectly. Happily. The first time in a
long time.

Thank you, Rick.

You're welcome.

I would like to at some point in time
talk to you about Randall.

Want some coffee?

Can we go outside?

I won't run. I promise.

Certainly.

Hunter.

Stagg left this place five minutes ago
with a suitcase.

He's driving alone north on 101.

Good, he took the bait. He said it for
San Luis Obispo.

I'm about 20 miles closer. I'll catch
up.

If I thought staying could have helped,
I would have.

But I couldn't.

I mean, the map, the file, the dream.

So much pain just for some green stone.

Now, so much has happened since your
wedding, I can't even believe it. It's

just, I don't know where the time has
gone.

When I heard about Randall, I was
horrified.

Not only was there the pain of losing a
close friend, I went through...

I'm very confused, Rose.

Rose, I don't think Randall committed
suicide.

I think somebody murdered him.

Oh, no.

You're wrong, Rick.

Why do you say that?

He called that, Rose.

I'd been in and out of the house for
about two weeks.

When he called, he was sad.

Really down.

He said he'd had a long, depressing talk
with Alan.

I knew something was going to happen.

So I hurried over.

When I got there, it was too late.

He'd already gone.

I felt dead myself.

When you got there, Randall was in the
bathtub, is that right?

Rose, was there any blood on the floor?

No.

Only in the tub.

You see, that's what I mean.

When I got there to check out the scene,
it was put on the floor, under the rug,

and on the toilet.

No, not when I was there with him.

It was almost peaceful, really.

In fact, I was still sitting by the tub
reading Randall's note over and over

when he came in.

I think I surprised him. What do you
mean he came in? Who came in?

1 William 1 -6 -09.

Did you notify Ventura?

Roger, 56.

And be advised, the suspect is still
proceeding north.

You want to notify the San Luis Obispo
sheriffs. Will advise.

So many visitors in one month. You know
his condition?

Yes, I used to visit him regularly back
east.

A careful stag to see you, sir.

Stag?

Everybody wants to know about you.

What the hell is all this new news
about? What?

Tragedy, sir.

Where are you?

Over here, sir.

I won't be staying long. You just relax.

Well, the light always stands.

1 William 156, St. Louis Sheriff.

1 William 156, go.

Meet me at the VA hospital for backup
and assistance.

Take these, you bastard. Right from the
prince's hand.

You killed Randall.

You would never have led me to these. I
haven't made Hunter go after you.

Is there anybody in scene, Captain
Miller?

Good morning, Sergeant Hunter. Yes,
Corporal Stagg is in there with him.

I can't remember when we got so much
attention.

Where are those stairs?

Up to the moon.

I figured I was a couple of steps ahead
of you. Look, will you talk to me?

Tell me why you helped your best friend
kill himself.

Because he wanted to die.

He'd been on the short end of this deal
for 20 years.

I just figured a way to turn it on stag.

I made those prints with the cane.

That maniac had had his napalm for
these.

But why Theo?

Because he was about to tell you
everything, and I couldn't let that

It was a casualty of war, man.

Why not Rose? Why not kill her when you
had the chance?

Rose was just a poor kid trying to
forget.

She was no threat, particularly after I
introduced her to Wing.

That's why she was with you the night
you killed Theo at the club.

You got it, boy.

To get her fixed.

The dying and the killing have got to
stop, Alan.

Yeah. And the suffering, too.

The suffering, too.

Don't you think Daniella would like to
be put out of his misery?

Everybody's on his own revolving bed.

Theo.

Stag.

Randall.

Me.

Even you, Hunter.

It was you that went up to see Captain
Dinello, not Randall, right?

Man, he hadn't heard our voices in 20
years. What does he know?

I set the radio in Randall's truck so
that you'd find it.

And the papers?

That was easy.

I was watching the mail. He'd never have
guessed that I'd rewritten that report.

Listen to me.

You're not thinking coherently. You're
out of control.

Wrong!

For the first time in 20 years, man, I
am in

complete control.

No!

I'll miss you.

Thank you.

Thank you most for loving Randall.

You'll be in touch, right?

I promise.

I need to go home now Give me a minute
