Tonight on Hunter.

This guy's our only link to some very serious crimes.

You should have killed me, Warren.

How come?

Because I'm going to kill you.

Hunter,

it's me.

McCall? Look, they grabbed me outside my... You get the idea.

I'm sorry, Sergeant. We can't make a trade.

It's departmental policy, Hunter. We knew that going in. I know that,

But what do we do now?

Previously seen on Hunter.

I love L .A. You're dealing with a lunatic.

I know. I put him in here.

You were married to the guy. He gave me death.

It's because he didn't like the Christmas present I got him.

There's looking at you, kid.

Knowing Lasseter the way I do, I have an idea he's up to something awfully big.

Are you working with a spade? You watch your mouth.

He ain't black.

He's green.

He's green, Rudy.

worth of green.

I still got contacts out there. Let me hit the streets and see what I can do.

You don't seem to get it, do you, Andy?

You don't seem to leave well enough alone. Now, when a good cop offers you

you damn well better take it. But you're not a cop anymore, Andy.

You're a security guard.

Get the money.

Break, police!

Don't end up like me.

It's this job.

I'm not going to end up like Andy.

This job can go to hell.

And now, part two.

Well, I spoke to the Fed.

They said they would back off and let us handle the whole investigation.

Look, uh, about McCall... Don't worry. She'll be back.

Captain Devane.

Oh, yeah. Your man is out of surgery.

How's he doing?

Well, he's young, strong.

His vital signs are good. He should be okay. So when can we talk to him?

Not till he's out of danger.

Look, this guy's our only link to some very serious crime.

I understand that, but you'll have to wait.

Come back in the morning.

Captain Devane, how much money was stolen from the orange car?

Is it true he's Frank Lasseter's brother?

The suspect's name is Rudy Lasseter, yes.

He is Frank Lasseter's brother. The guy was involved in that shooting when two

correctional officers died a couple of days ago.

What's his condition?

Mickey, come on. You know I can't give an answer like that. You have to ask the

doctors. Is your camera here? Yes.

We plan to question the suspect tomorrow.

Presently, he's under heavy security.

And when his condition warrants it, we're going to incarcerate him and

him with a proper crime.

Nice to talk to you.

Captain,

I just did a check on Masters, a Pacific armored car.

Let me guess, he's clean as a whistle. Right. Now, what would a white

supremacist like Lasseter be doing hooked up with a black man? I can think

five million reasons. I know, but there's got to be some sort of

right, all right, find it.

Find it.

Great, I'll find it.

Hunter, get a second? Yeah, what's up?

Well, I'm sorry about McCall. She's a good cop. That she is.

Look, I know this might not be the time, but, you know, Hanley's out on

disability, and what do you think about us teaming up? Oh, look, Bill, I don't

know. No, look, look, I'll shower every day. I'll keep my teeth brushed.

That's not the point. I appreciate that, though.

I'm just not ready to give up on McCall yet.

Thanks for the offer.

I hope you're right. So am I.

I didn't catch you at a bad time, did I?

No, I was... I was just going over some things.

Okay.

Mind if I come in?

No, of course not. Come on in.

Thanks.

I thought I'd take you to lunch.

Lunch? When's the last time you took a break out for lunch?

It's been some time, hasn't it?

I know what you want to talk about, and I'm not going to change my mind. Don't

you think I'm entitled to lunch and conversation?

Yeah, I suppose I could use something to eat. I'll get my cup.

Good.

Hello? Dee Dee, it's Charlie. Is Hunter there?

Yeah. Hey, listen, hold on a second.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It's Charlie. It's for you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Dr. Kelly called.

Our boy is conscious and he's ready to talk.

Great. I'll be right over.

Look at the heat they got here.

Man, we ain't never gonna get him out.

Frank would think of something then.

I'm telling you, he's gone.

Oh, what, you think Frank's gonna hang around here with the hit we made?

You're crazy.

How we doing?

Well, Rudy says that Frank is long gone, and why would Rudy lie?

Man, I remember you. Yeah, you.

You Wyatt Earp, the guy who shot me.

Well, you should have killed me, Juan.

Really? How come?

Because I'm going to kill you. You can bet all your nickels and dimes on that.

Well, that's going to be kind of hard to do, isn't it, Rudy? You should be

inside of a prison cell.

Don't be so sure.

I've got my ways.

You're such a loser.

Who are you calling a loser?

Well, you're in here in your brother Frank's in paradise with five main

That means you're going to take the rap for everything, Rudy.

Everything.

Because your brother Frank dumped you.

Rest well.

My brother cares for me. Hey, you understand what I'm saying? He looks out

me!

Hello. Honey, it's me.

Oh, honey, you know it's not smart to call here.

It's okay. I'm calling from the pay phone.

I'm scared, Mike. Why don't we just get out of here? We will.

Honestly, we will.

As soon as I get my share of the money.

I don't care about the money.

Honey, the money is our future.

Now just think about it.

You and me, we'll never have to worry the rest of our lives.

Ever.

I love you very much.

Now, please don't worry.

It's going to be okay.

Now, Rudy has nothing to do with me. Now, come on, Frank.

We had a deal. We split the money after the job. We split the money after I get

Rudy back.

Are you crazy? They're watching him day and night. Now, there is no way.

There's got to be.

You want your money?

Find one.

I didn't see you come in. I'm running late.

I expected more people.

I'm glad you came.

Excuse me.

Are you Dee Dee McCall?

Yes. I'm Andrea Renfro.

I'm Andy's daughter.

You probably know this.

You meant a lot to him.

He meant a lot to me.

Sergeant Hunter.

Miss Renfro?

Nice to have met you.

I'm very sorry about your mom.

You were a little brisk in there, weren't you?

She's not exactly my favorite person. How's that?

Things that Andy said, said about her, about the relationship, I just think she

was way too hard on him.

She had her reasons.

Andy wasn't the greatest father in the world. I know that. But when he left the

force and he went up there to live with her, she didn't exactly welcome him with

open arms.

Maybe if she had, he...

I

guess there's a lot of maybes.

I'll talk to you later.

Do you know who I am?

Then you know what I'm capable of, don't you?

Now let me tell you what your problems are.

You've already met Mr. Bass.

He enjoys doing certain things to women.

And he'd like to spend some time with you.

Downstairs is Wendell and Leroy. They'd like to spend some time with you, too.

The only one stopping them is me.

I don't want any problems.

Hunter, we got a call on line two.

Guy says it's important.

Take a look at that.

Hunter Homestead.

Yeah, who's this? Don't play games with me. I've got time.

I want my brother.

Charlie, why do you... Bill, why do you... Rudy's going to jail, and

so are you, Frank. Oh, is that so?

Look, someone wants to say hello.

Hunter, it's me.

McCall? They grabbed me outside my... You get the idea.

Now I think we can cut a deal, huh?

Hey, wait just a second. Let's talk about this. Oh, we'll talk about it a

later.

Meanwhile, you can think of all the fun we're having.

I'm sorry, Sergeant. We can't make a trade.

It's departmental policy, Hunter. We knew that going in. I know that,

But what do we do now?

Everything we can. This is priority one. Anything you need, you've got.

And it's up to us to get her out.

I'm afraid that's the way it has to be.

Hi there.

Now practice something to eat.

I can't eat when my hands turn.

I want to eat by myself, all right?

Would you hurry?

You can't do that.

Don't do that.

Come on, Frank.

I'm not going to tell you again.

All right.

Captain, I got a possible connection here.

Before working for Pacific Armored Car, Masters applied for a job with the

Compton Police Department.

His reference?

One Michael Murdoch.

Murdoch? That's right.

Masters was a guard at Fenwick State Prison.

Over the years, I've recommended a lot of guards for outside duty, but I gotta

tell you, he's the first one that sure got dirty.

What can I do for you? I need information on all of Masters' friends.

Like I said, we weren't very close, but I'll see what I can find out. Good. This

is the better.

Where's McCall?

Inside.

All right, you got your bargaining chip.

Now, I want my money.

I told you, when I get Rudy, you'll get your money.

Now, you listen to me, Frank.

Hunter was at the prison today, and he knows that Masters was a guard, and that

links him to me.

Well, then you got a problem.

Now, you'll be taken care of when I say so.

Get out of here while you can.

This is the list of the addresses of all the ex -cons in the Aryan Legion.

It covers the whole West Coast, including Oregon and Washington.

We're checking them all out right now. That could take forever, Captain.

Well, it's all we got. But it's not enough.

Look, relax.

We're going to get her back. We'll find her.

You know, if McCall were here, she'd have an idea.

And that would give me an idea, and then pretty soon we'd have this whole thing

solved.

Well, that's the way it is with partners.

Devane.

It's Lacketer.

Yeah. Listen carefully, because I'm only going to say this one time.

You get my brother.

You take him to a parking lot in the corner of Sweetser and Adams.

When you pull in, there's a phone booth there.

You wait.

I'll call you with more instructions.

You got one hour.

Look, your brother's too weak to move.

Look, you just do this or I'm going to kill her.

I'll bring him.

What does that mean? That means we're out of time, Charlie. I cannot authorize

that. I don't expect you to.

You're going to lose your badge. I'm going to lose my call.

I'm sorry.

Hunter!

This is Captain Devane.

Lieutenant Butler was authorized to take Rudy Lassiter over to the county

hospital.

I'm going to change that.

Sergeant Hunter will do it.

Going for a little ride, Rudy.

I love rides.

We've got a gun.

Lieutenant Butler was supposed to transfer the prisoner to County General.

was Sergeant Hunter in charge?

Well, the truth is, Commander, that Rudy Lassiter wasn't being transferred.

Do you mind telling me why?

It's my responsibility, Commander.

I was going to trade him for Sergeant McCall.

Even though it's against department policy?

Yes, sir.

You aware of this, Captain?

That's right.

I see.

So what are you going to do now?

That's great. Thanks very much.

Barney's going to keep Lassiter's body listed as a John Doe. Doc, you can

the rest, right?

The records will show that Lassiter's in a private room in ICU.

I'll see that the nurses will keep it to themselves.

We'll station enough cops around to make it look real. Yeah, that'll help out.

They'll buy us a couple days at least.

Look, you get about ten minutes to get to a phone booth.

Yeah, thanks.

Yeah, I'm here.

Is my brother with you?

Look, we got a problem.

What do you mean by that?

When we tried to move Rudy, he started an emery.

We had to put him back in the operating room.

You're lying to me, Hunter.

You start messing with me now, and I'm going to kill her.

Look, I can have the guy here in 20 minutes, but when you pick him up, he'll

dead. Did you like that?

You better not be lying to me, Hunter. I'm not stupid.

I'm not stupid either.

Is Rudy going to make it?

Yeah, he's gonna make it. Just give him some time. All right, I'll get back to

you. All right, let me talk to McCall.

Rick, it's me.

Now look, as soon as Rudy gets out of the operating room, we're gonna make the

trade. Dr.

Polanski is doing the operation.

He's the doctor you met last Tuesday.

Now listen to me.

You both.

Better pray that this guy can put Rudy back together. You understand me?

I'll be back to you.

This cop is messing with us.

We gotta check him out.

And you're the only one here without tattoos.

It's okay, Frank.

Do it, man.

If I were you, the next time a mugger asked me for my wallet, I'd give it to

him.

Whatever you say, Doc.

Are you sure you and McCall didn't get your wires crossed?

McCall talked about the doctor I met on Tuesday. Now, last Tuesday, I was at

Fenwick Prison talking with Murdoch and the warden.

Look, Johnson's one of the best wardens in the system.

I know.

It's got to be Murdoch.

I got your message, Sykes. What's in your mind?

Frank's got your payoff ready.

Oh, really?

What made him change his mind?

What do you mean?

Frank's a fair man.

He wants you to get what you deserve.

Only problem is, Frank doesn't like to share.

Any idea they'd want to kill Murdoch? Are you kidding?

You might as well question the walls.

No one heard or saw anything.

I just can't believe Murdoch is involved in this.

Yeah, well, five million dollars would get him involved.

Any idea why this bottom drawer is locked?

I'll get the key. I don't need one.

What are they doing?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I don't know any Mike Murdock.

Mike Murdock was paying for your rent, Rita.

Now, we can prove that. I've got the receipts.

Phil, that's none of your business.

I'm afraid it is now.

Mike Murdock is dead.

Your ex -husband had him killed.

I begged him not to get involved with Frankie.

How did you meet Mike?

How did I meet Mike?

See, I never visited Frankie.

But after a while, I...

I started feeling sorry for him. I figured, you know, what the hell?

needs company.

So I put on my best dress and I went to the prison.

But before I got there, I got scared because I didn't want Frankie to get any

wrong ideas about starting up again.

I thought that this little place in the area, just to have a cup of coffee and

to figure out what I wanted to do.

A guy came in and we started talking.

He was really nice.

It was like... That's where it all began.

I didn't even know he worked for the prison until later.

He treated me real good.

Remember Sergeant McCall?

Yes. Oh, Frank's got him. He's going to kill her if I don't find him.

Reed, I need your help.

There's a farmhouse out in New Hall.

It's about a half a mile past the corporate turnoff.

Somebody come in here.

What do you want?

My arms are in pain.

What do you know about pain, lady?

You want me to feel sorry for you now, Frank?

Do you know that I could kill you right now?

Yeah, well, you might as well go ahead and do it, otherwise I'm gonna die a

gangrene here.

Oh.

And I thought you were tough.

He will. He's my partner.

You, uh, you two that close, huh?

Yeah.

Rudy and I are close, too.

We always stood up for each other, even against our crazy old man.

He used to come home every night and beat the hell out of us, you see, when

was drunk.

Till one day we decided we had enough.

That's when we took care of the old man once and for all.

Well, what's the word?

Well, Leroy's back.

Well, tell me when.

Frank,

Rudy, he tried to make a break for it, man.

Well, that cop, Hunter, he killed him.

My brother?

McDowell, stairs.

These guys haven't been dead very long. Looks like they've been paid off,

though.

This guy's got two in the back.

Captain Devane, we just searched the ground. The place is deserted.

Looks like this guy was after something else.

She's alive, Charlie.

She's alive.

Yeah, but where?

Hunter, homicide.

No, he's not here. He should be back in about 25 minutes or so.

Yeah, I'll tell him.

Thanks.

Anderson's wife wants him to pick up some baby food on the way home.

Baby food? Now, there's a real problem.

You want some coffee?

No, thanks.

Listen,

why don't you go ahead home?

I can hold down the fort.

I wonder what this guy's up to, Charlie.

Hunter. You killed my brother.

Where's McCall? You want to see her again, you're going to have to come out

get her yourself.

Just name the place.

When I'm ready.

Meanwhile, you got 30 minutes to get to a newspaper stand on the corner of

Figueroa and 3rd.

Buy a newspaper and wait.

Hunter, I just don't think this is a good idea. This guy could pop you any

But he won't, Charlie.

It's very personal for him right now.

He's not going to pop me until I get right square in front of him. What's the

radius of this damn thing, anyway? We'll hear everything Hunter says within a

mile. After that, it gets a little dicey. We've put a tracking device in

car. That way, we won't lose you. I don't take any comfort in these gadgets.

It'll be all right, Charlie.

You're all set.

Okay.

I got about 20 minutes to get to the newspaper stand.

Come on, let's go.

Have a newspaper, please. We've got all kinds. What are you looking for? Anyone

will do. I don't suppose you read Yiddish. I'm overbought on this. I do

I'll be fine.

Seventy -five cents.

Keep the change. Bye.

Most magazines and newspapers.

Sergeant Hunter.

No, you got the wrong number. Let me have that, please. Yeah, thank you.

Hunter? Yeah, I'm here.

All in your paper?

Yeah, I got the newspaper. Good. Well, the other hand.

Okay, I'm clean.

What the hell's going on?

I don't know. That's what I like, an obedient cop.

There's a red pickup parked across the street.

The keys are in it. You'll find instructions on the dash.

You've got 15 minutes. When you get there, just walk in the loading door.

And Hunter, I've got a 360 degree view from where I am. If I even smell another

cop, a lady's dog meat.

Thank you.

Come on, let's go.

I see you, Hunter.

You're mine any time I want you.

Take

the

elevator.

I'm waiting for you.

So is she.

the stairs.

You found my boys, didn't you?

Ed didn't care about Rudy.

All they wanted was their money.

So I gave it to them.

Bass had other plans.

You're almost dead.

Find her fast Hunter, or I'll kill her!

Did you find her, Hunter?

We found the $5 million on the floor of one of the offices.

Now, that's good news.

The best news is, of course, that you're okay.

And like I said, I hope you'll reconsider.

I haven't reconsidered.

God, I'm glad you've been there anyway.

Talk to you later, okay?

Sergeant Hunter.

Yes.

Oh, Miss Renfro.

How are you? Just fine, thanks.

I was looking for Sergeant McCall. Is she here?

No, she's not here. Can I help you?

I was going through my father's things and I found this badge.

It was the only thing that really mattered to him.

I loved him very much.

But I think that he would like Sergeant McCall to have it.

Will you give it to her?

Certainly.

In many ways, I envied their relationship.

Well, I should go now.

Thank you.

Oh, Miss Renfro.

Could I buy you a cup of coffee?

Always didn't know how to find me.

They just don't hide very good.

It was Andy.

Andy asked me to give it to you.

I had a very interesting talk with her this afternoon.

I think you might have been wrong about her.

Yeah, well, I only know what Andy told me.

Maybe Andy lied.

He wouldn't lie to me.

Not to you, but to himself.

Andrea told me she never wanted her father to leave.

As a matter of fact, she begged him to stay with her.

Be a part of the family.

The life.

Andy could have stayed in Seattle, Dee Dee.

His choice to leave.

Just couldn't or wouldn't see that he had a life there.

So sad.

And he really was the old blind bear.

Wasn't the job.

If you don't want to be a police officer anymore, that's fine.

Make sure you quit for the right reasons.

You know, we never did go and have that lunch.

Know it might need it
