All language subtitles for Hunter s05e06 No Deed Ever Goes Unpunished

Tonight on Hunnit.

Help me.

Please, help me.

An anonymous snitch, maybe a wacko,
wants me to take on the second largest

aeronautics contractor in Southern
California.

I'm a police officer, damn it! Do what I
tell you, move! Since now they know I'm

a cop.

Maybe one of these students has been
trying to mess with my head.

One of them just decided to blow up your
school. I'm too scared to do any more.

And I have a daughter who would kill
that man. Is it murder?

What was her number?

So before you get locked into one type
of medium, I would suggest you do some

experimenting because each one has
different characteristics.

This is very nice, Judy. It just needs a
little more animation.

If you've used acrylics, you probably
like the quick -drying quality.

John, this is very nice, very good work.

Acrylics are excellent for impasto.

Vincent Van Gogh, who died in 1890, is a
name associated with the impasto

technique. So, of course, Van Gogh
worked in oils, which are much more

because they're slow -drying. There are
some drying agents that can be applied

for speeding things up.

Van Gogh was a master of color, and the
way that he layered on color was

revolutionary in his day.

He also was a genius because of the way
he chose color and the way that he

attached the canvas.

This is very nice, Emily.

I like your choice of color. Don't,
uh... Don't go away.

Emily has chosen a very nice translucent
in these waves.

by using that light base coat that we
talked about.

Okay, before we go on to the palette
knife, let's all go next door to the

theater art shop.

I don't know if I mentioned before, but
this class is going to help the scenic

design class with the new production.

It's all volunteer, but I think it's
going to be a wonderful experience for

Okay? Now, you'll start next week, so
just come in and look around at the

glass.

Sprinklers are on. Come on.

What makes you think you can paint?

Well, I've done a couple of mean bare
bedrooms every day, you know.

Hey, you know, the arson team isn't even
sure why it blew.

Joe Biggs was on that, remember?

Remember Joe Biggs? Yeah.

I got the five in the five ring. See
that?

Yeah.

Well,

I got to hand it to you. You tied me
again.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, I didn't.

See, look at this.

You have four. I got five. That's not
the time. You just missed one shot.

all. One of my rounds went in that hole
right there, right on top of the other

one. That's it. Hey, Smith!

What are you talking about? You saw one
of my rounds go in the same hole, didn't

you?

See? He saw it. That's preposterous. Why
can't you just admit that you missed

one shot? That's all. I didn't miss one
shot. It's just one bullet.

It's four instead of five. That's all.
Just one. I've got piggyback rounds. Get

your stuff.

Hey, Joe, what's the verdict?

Somebody left the gas regulator valve
wide open, which wouldn't have mattered

the wiring to the electronic igniter
wasn't faulty.

Hell of a boom, I'll tell you that.

A couple of hundred cubic yards of
methane under pressure in a small

a spark.

As good as trinitrotolium.

A TNT.

Like you said, one hell of a boom.

Listen, Nicole, I'm glad you're okay.

Thanks, so am I.

Joe.

Accident, right?

That's why I'm filing it.

Thanks.

Emily!

You okay?

Let's see.

Sometimes it's a good idea to kind of
lay low after you've had a scare, you

know?

I suppose, but, uh... Mark was home,
and, uh...

Lyman wanted to come just as soon as
they'd let us, so we could get what was

left of his sculpture.

Lyman's been my boarder for such a long
time, he's like part of the family. I

couldn't say no.

I see.

Oh, there's Mark now.

Be careful, all right? Just take it
easy.

Okay.

People are dying.

I found out. Now they want me dead.

I told the EPA I need more proof.

Please help.

Hillary's mother doesn't care.

Caress Hillary.

She's going to kill me.

Hillary Taggart. Any relation?

To Winston Taggart? Taggart Aeronautics?
Yeah. It's his daughter.

I had public affairs pull this photo
from the file. That's from the chief's

honor banquet last year. Head table.

And I checked. The main airframe line is
in the high desert near Los Robles.

Wonderful.

An anonymous snitch, maybe a wacko,
wants me to take on the second largest

aeronautics contractor in Southern
California.

Taggart's got 450 behind him on the
Fortune 500.

Guy's gonna take a light touch?

You two should be perfect.

What'd you find, Seve?

The tape's ferric oxide.

Japanese bulk manufactured by Osaka
Industries.

This one you can buy at any drugstore.

No print.

New tape. First use.

What about the voice?

Computer voice simulator.

Not very special.

Could be Apple, Amiga, IBM.

We could check it out.

Check it out.

Notify Arson. We're going to send our
lab out there. I think we've got an

attempted murder.

Charlie, I'm going to contact Frank
Webster, the EPA, and see what he says

the Los Robles area. Good, good, good,
good. Start with him.

If we're going to tackle Hillary
Taggart, we're going to need a lot more

on. I'm working on it.

Okie dokie.

You're online.

Okie dokie. What does that mean?

Well, if you get lost, call up the help
menus in the user area.

Which are?

Online.

Listen, we're opening an investigation.

It better be well corroborated or we're
going to look like a bunch of fools.

Winston Taggart gets more press than
most heads of state. And his daughter

Hillary, she's usually the third one
from the right in every shot you've seen

from the White House Rose Garden.

So, uh, how does this thing work,
Charlie?

Look at my dad.

Half his mind is on setting Mark up for
his famous finish line sprint, and the

other half thinks he just might get
lucky with one of those beach bunnies.

Did Winston talk to your mother after
last night?

Of course. She called him the minute she
got home. Shaky as hell.

I don't blame her.

From what Mark said, Emily damn near got
blown into Orange County.

He's as worried about her as I am.

Fire department said it was some fluky
accident with gas.

The gas?

That's what they said, Hillary.

I talked to the top arson guy.

Look, it's not just the accident, but
your mother's been flaky enough.

You're going to have to talk to her
again.

Be firm.

Tell her she's just going to have to
stop harping on this nonsense about us

dumping in the desert.

I will. Leave that to me, Rhodes.

But you tell your security people that
she might try to get back into the plant

anyway, and I want them to call me the
minute she does.

I think we should all look after her
now.

I'll keep an eye on her.

Have the decency to at least pay it for
us, Dad.

Anybody need a beer?

Yes, yes. I'll have the egg off my face.

Grandpa beat us going away.

Uh -oh, there's the G word.

Grandpa.

Anybody see a grandpa around here? Some
quaint old codger with tobacco -stained

whiskers?

Using stories about 1910. Sorry,
Winston.

Thank you, thank you. Come on, I'll show
you Grandpa's new car.

Tell me something. When I was running
this company, Rhodes, did we do our

business at the beach ever?

No, sir.

You're damn right, no, sir.

Explain to your CEO.

The beach is for getting sunburned and
playing grab -ass.

My beach is, anyway, taking your son to
see Emily.

Your mother was pretty rattled about
last night.

You go see her.

Yeah, Dad. I will.

Take it.

Just bring it back by the weekend.

It does 130 miles an hour in second
gear, you know, so if the CHP spots you,

what I do.

Shift into third.

Grandma would kill me.

But don't tell Emily.

Just have it back by Friday.

And stay a few days.

That's exactly why she'd kill me. I got
these exams coming up and she wants me

to study. She doesn't want you hanging
around here, I know.

You think about my offer?

You'll be the only kid on the West Coast
leaving school with a starting salary

of six figures.

I know.

I know.

It's just that Grandma thinks I should
put a little more time into finding my

own job. Grandma can't design planes.

You can.

Grandma and I disagree on a lot.

But we both need you.

Volleyball's one thing, but I'm not
playing tug -of -war with you, Mark.

I love you.

So you think you might find him out
there?

Right.

Okay, now listen, but if I don't find
him, don't forget to tell him Sergeant

Hunter from Homicide called him. Again.

Yeah, thanks.

Well, I'm going to go try to run down
Frank Webster.

What do you got?

Well, I went through the night school
enrollment and I narrowed it down to 11

possibilities here. But you know what I
keep thinking? I keep thinking to

myself, maybe since now they know I'm a
cop, maybe one of these students is

trying to mess with my head.

Yeah, either that or maybe one of them
just decided to blow up your school.

Did you ever think about that?

Watch your back.

Negative. I'll call him from the office.

They ID'd the victim.

Franklin G. Webster from the EPA.

Seems kind of funny, doesn't it? I spent
an entire day looking for this guy and

I wound up pounded flat on that truck.

And then we find out he's got a tape on
him that looks just like the one we

found in your car outside the school.

Is it murder?

Listen to this part.

I've told Hillary she won't stop it. The
police don't believe me.

Somebody's got to stop it.

You know, Webster landing under that
truck kind of puts the explosion at the

school into perspective.

Yeah, and if our source was passing
Webster those production sheets, the

has them back.

Time to take a closer look at Taggart
Aeronautics. Yeah, I'm going to run out

the airport and see a friend of mine.

I'll go check with the EPA and visit the
Taggarts.

All right, good.

Can I get you something to drink?

No, thank you.

Would you like a beach house?

No, thanks.

All right, you can have the ocean.

But I'm not giving up Catalina.

Let's draw the line.

I understand.

Actually, Mr. Taggart, it's about your
company.

My daughter's company. Four years ago, I
retired, turned everything over to

Hillary. I can spend more time with my
grandson.

All right, then, your daughter's
company. But, uh,

you can call it what you want. We're
investigating a possible homicide.

The victim is an EPA investigator.

Your company has been accused of illegal
dumping.

It's a cutthroat industry.

But I'm a straight shooter.

Some of the competition isn't about
spreading false rumors.

They don't like Taggart.

Because my company has something they'll
never have.

My name.

Is that you standing up on top of this
biplane?

Rick, my rag. Please, rag.

If it's about that leak in the garage
this time, I've asked you before not to

bother me during the week. A landlord
can only do so much, all right? Not

the leak in the sink or the smell in the
attic. We'll take care of that later.

Talk to me about Taggart Aeronautics.

Taggart.

We're here for an avionics consultation.

Well, I'm sure you know that Winston
Taggart opened this airstrip 40 years

right after the war.

Well, the reason I'm asking is we've had
some reports of some toxic dumping

coming up, Taggart.

Rick, every airport has a list of very
familiar substances that they have to

rid of. You know, solvents and petroleum
-based products of all kinds. Look, I

understand all that, but what would
Taggart be producing that couldn't be

at Los Robles?

If it's radioactive, if it's used with
high heat to make something out of

graphite. I mean, those things are
illegal.

Well, if it's not being produced here,
Taggart, where the hell could it be

coming from?

You know something? 35 years, they
didn't use that old airstrip I was

you about.

The one he started with.

About four years ago, they started, I
don't know, beefing it up. I fly over

there every week. There's something
going on over there.

Can you show me that?

Rick, you're going to have to go up.

Make sure the rubber band works out.

I know exactly who sent those tapes. My
mother, Emily Hill.

Emily Hill's your mother?

Yes. She and Winston were never married,
but we're all one big, happy family.

Did Emily tell you what was on those
tapes? That's all she ever talks about.

At one time or another, she has accused
me of creating nearly every toxic waste

problem in the state. The woman's
obsessed.

Sounds like you two don't get along very
well. I'm tired of her making false

accusations to the EPA about this
company. Now, if she weren't my mother,

sue her.

I see.

Well, then, do you think she contacted
Frank Webster to take another shot at

you? I wouldn't doubt it.

But this company is clean.

Ever since I took over, the EPA hasn't
cited us for one violation.

I'm very proud of that record.

If that's the case, then why do you
think Emily's so convinced that you're

the wrong?

She misses Winston.

Ever since I became CEO of Taggart
Aeronautics, she's done nothing but

Do you know of any reason why someone
would want Frank Webster dead?

Sorry, I can't help you.

Are you suggesting he was murdered?

Drunk possibility.

If anything comes to mind, give me a
call at that number, would you please?

All right, I will, Sergeant.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Sam, I don't understand what's going on.
What is my mother trying to do?

I don't know.

But she isn't going to go away unless
she talks some sense into her.

The police tell me Frank Webster may
have been murdered.

That poor man.

Maybe we should do something.

I'll send him a card.

Mother, you're acting crazy. How can I
explain the situation to you? I don't

want to hear this. Please stay away from
me and stay away from Mark. Would you

two just stop it? Let me in.

I'm not letting you into this house, not
after what you've done. Oh, Mother,

don't sound so self -righteous. I won't
stand for it. You have no idea what it

takes to run that company. Oh, I do now.
Oh, Grandma, just stop it. For God's

sake. Oh, don't lay that crap on me. You
don't know anything.

It is my company now, whether you like
it or not. That's enough. I'm tired of

listening to it.

Are you following me?

I came to speak with your mother and
find out what's going on.

Well, when you find out, why don't you
tell me? There's nothing at Taggart

Aeronautics that's out of line. My
mother just flipped her wig, that's all.

May I come in?

I don't want her in here.

No problem.

I'll call you later, Mother.

Unless Sergeant McCall wants me to stay.

No, there's no reason for you to stay
right now Grandma just

take it easy. All right.

I'm just gonna get you a glass of water

Mark's not coming.

Let's go to the beach. My father's not
gonna be happy about this

It's a reader.

The line's the line on my border.

I typed what I wanted on the tape and
the machine read it.

It's the only way I could think of not
to let anybody know it was me.

Mark mustn't know.

Well, Emily, if it's true, I can't think
of a way to keep him from finding out.

Besides, why are you doing this?

For Mark, mostly.

You know what my daughter's doing.

And now Winston is dangling big salaries
to get Mark to go to work for him.

I want Mark to lead his own life, not
fall under Winston's spell. He's a

beguiler.

I should know.

Yeah, but all the stuff with the
dumping, why didn't you just go to the

and tell them?

Or the EPA, go to both of them directly
and tell them. Why are you dealing with

these tapes?

I've tried for months to get Hillary to
do something.

She calls me a crank.

I'm not. I was there. I thought I'd die.

I've been Winston's mistress for 40
years.

Hillary is our daughter.

She couldn't grow up and run her own
life.

When she got back from Europe in 1970...

She was pregnant with Mark, but she had
no patience with motherhood,

so I've raised him.

And that has been pure joy.

You've met Winston.

He's like a Santa Claus.

He gives and gives and gives, and most
people can't take it.

He has given Hillary everything that she
ever wanted, and four years ago, he

gave her the company.

And that's why Hillary is what she is.

Well, it's partly my fault.

I could have put some control on
Winston's generosity, but I didn't. But

let that happen to Mark.

Tell me something.

How did you first find out about the
dumping of the toxic waste?

I've always had the run of Taggart
Aeronautics, or I did.

After Hillary took over, things changed.

Cutbacks, layoffs, new faces.

And she didn't like my criticism. She
told me not to meddle, and finally she

fired me.

I was never on the payroll, just
Winston's gifts to me.

And finally one night, I saw a truck
leave full of waste.

Nobody admitted it. No records.

Hillary cut me dead.

Bad choice of words.

I told Winston, and he babied me.

He couldn't imagine that Hillary...
Well, he dotes on her. So finally, I

called the EPA, and I tried to tell that
man Webster about the trucks.

Of course, I thought that it would be a
secret, but...

Hillary found out.

It killed babies.

So I shouldn't be surprised that my own
daughter, that Mark's mother, would kill

that man and even try to kill me.

So I finally thought that nice woman
would help because I'm too scared to do

more alone.

I think I got Emily to promise to let us
handle it from here on out. Yeah, well,

if we find the guy who pulled Mark out
of class, I think we got our mad bomber.

McCall? Hunter?

Suarez says that the lab is not going to
be much help to us in proving that

attempted murder of the college.

Now, as far as Webster's concerned, I've
notified the FBI. I think they should

follow this up if they think there's a
case, because I don't believe we have

one. What do you mean?

Captain, Emily Hill said that she saw
Webster get taken out by a one -ton

She saw him get hit by the truck, if we
can even believe that much.

Taggart has built three new hangars on
his north runway.

He's put in a brand -new parking lot and
a lot of low -intensity lighting. Yeah,

and Emily said they beefed up the night
shift.

Well, what does that prove?

What do you mean, what does it prove? It
proves that we've... Proves nothing.

Go out and find me something that's
going to hold up in court.

I hope that Emily stays out of this.
What do you mean you hope? She better

out of it. As of now, we have nothing.

She raised Mark as her own son. You
know, she's just trying to protect her

family.

What is it?

She's been a long time since I had a
witness cry in my arms, you know?

Twice in one week.

Well, Robbie, I looked at my calendar.
It's Joe's birthday.

He's 50.

He's still on the night shift, right?

Yeah. I brought him a cake.

You never forget a thing.

Save me a piece, will you?

Oh, and I have some pictures here from
the last picnic. Oh, great.

There's a good one of you.

Mr. Rhodes, Emily Hill's in the
building. I thought you'd better know.

Uh -huh.

Yes, sir. I'll take care of it right
now.

Ms. Hill, I thought you were going up to
see Joe.

Oh, well, I looked all over and I
couldn't find him, so I just left the

his desk.

Well, it's late. Just tell him when I
stop by.

Night.

We've got to stop her.

Miss Hill, wait.

Miss Hill, this is Robbie.

Miss Hill, wait, please.

Your mother dumped this in my office in
exchange for a load of files.

My God, what does she think she's doing
breaking into offices in the middle of

the night?

Sam, I'm really worried about her.

Well, I told you she's gone way over the
edge.

Now you've got to get tough.

She's a danger to herself.

But how do we find her?

Sergeant McCall's partner is a Rick
Hunter.

She'll probably call one of them. How do
you know that?

It's an obvious choice for her.

Emily's too scared to go to a cop shop,
so they all come to her.

I got a Bearcat scanner in the car
that'll pick up any police frequency.

Yeah, but you can't get every frequency
at once.

You won't have to.

Hunter's call is William 56.

McCall's is William 57.

TAC -2 frequency.

I bet you're going to tell me that's
just sewer water.

Who the hell are you? It's legal?

LAPD, shut it off.

Shut it off!

It's legal, huh?

Smell it.

Go on.

Come on, move it.

1 William 1.

You've got a Mrs. Hill standing by. Code
2 at 555 -3596.

A pay phone, corner Magnolia and Abbey.

Dee Dee, can you hear me?

Yeah, Emily, what's the matter? You
sound out of breath.

Dee Dee, please listen to me. I took the
files from Rhodes' office that prove

everything, but they know it. I can't go
home. Okay.

All right, the classes will still be
underway. You've got a half hour left of

classes and there'll be a crowd there.
You'll be safe. Wait for me outside the

art room and I'll be there in 20
minutes.

1 William 156, come in.

1 William 156, 1 William 157, come in.

1 William 1, 5, 6, go.

Meet me at LACU Code 2.

Roger. Estimate time about 10 minutes,
huh? My ETA is 5.

What'd that tell you? There's your
mother again, right on cue.

Mother, don't do this.

She'll hurt herself if she keeps this
up.

Why would we do that? Rid of these
people.

1 William 1 57.

We've received a code 8 at LACU.

Please don't do this. Mother, stop it.
You need help.

Now, we'll sort this all out later. I
want you to come with us now.

Emily, we haven't got a lot of time.

People are dying. You've got to stop
them.

When you're more rational, we'll discuss
what I'm doing.

Do you really think I would kill my own
mother?

Yes.

You're a fair guy. Yes, I do.

Oh, Mom, please.

Rose!

That'll be enough, Rose.

That's enough, everybody.

I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do.
It's okay, baby.

It's okay. I'm here.

It's all right.

We're going to go to the police now,
Emily. We're going to do what you wanted

do all along. You were right.

Nobody's ever going to hurt you again.

How did you know I was here?

I got the report, sir.

Emily, you're jumping to conclusions.

No, she's not.

Is she, Dad?

You've been behind this, pulling the
strings from the very beginning, haven't

you?

Emily, give me those papers.

Rhodes, Taggart, get your hands up in
the air where I can see them.

Do it!

Emily, come back here by me.

You were doing it all the time, both of
you.

Such nonsense.

I should have listened to you, Emily.

Emily, my partner's got all the proof.

Winston never did let go of that
company.

He ordered all of the toxic dumping. He
ordered everything.

Ridiculous.

I don't think so.

I think it was you all of the time. You
bastard.

You want to live?

Let her go.

I gotta assume that's Rose.

Yep.

Well, there's a phone upstairs. You
better call this in. I'll stay here and

watch him.

Well, they moved Winston Taggart's
arraignment this afternoon.

I'll have to tell Emily. She wanted to
sit in on it. Well, if she does, she

get an earful. Listen to this.

Illegal weapons manufacturer and export.
That's the key word, export.

Use of prohibited chemicals, dumping of
toxic waste, not to mention murder.

Yeah.

At least Hillary's in the clear.

You know, Emily said that the two of
them are talking like they've never

before. I think that's nice.

Isn't that sweet?

Yeah. And Mark, he decided to go to
Boston for a semester. And you know

think that in some way that just kind of
brought them a little closer together.

You know what I mean? Really?

For me.

Thank you.

Mark Hill.

How sweet.

What is it? I don't know.

Oh.

Well.

Let's see.

I don't think you meant it.

Turn it around.

Okay, well, don't... Just turn it
around.

Be nice.

How about that noise, huh?

Yeah, well... I assume there is a
definite

explanation to this.

Well, I don't know. I would say there's
exactly a logical... Not that a logical

explanation, but I would say it's
definitely a passionate one. I like that

Yeah, well...

Yeah, you like that. Somehow, in a way,
I've never seen you before.

Yeah, this is true. Excuse me.

Where are you going?

Well, I thought I'd put this on the
ceiling above my bed tonight.

You're so sick. Yeah.

Give me this.
