Tonight on Hunter.

You're a liar and I'm going to prove it. That stuff the cops found you fencing

leads back to me. I'm not telling the cops squat.

Wait a minute. You're looking at 10 years, punk. Now, where is it? There's

a dozen guys who can handle the volume the captain is doing. You're asking me

give up my life? Give up what? The possibility of being killed? What is

on? Alex asked me to marry him. I want you to back off, McCall. What happens

between me and Dee Dee is really none of your business.

Why don't you stop mothering me? I'm fine, all right? I love her. And so do

Previously seen on Hunter.

Oh, hi!

Yeah.

Freeze, Martinez!

Gosh, it's good to see you. What are you doing here?

One minute I'm in Africa, the next I'm here in L .A. From here I go to Oxford,

where I have been offered a research grant. Thank you very much.

Aren't you going to be at Holland back tomorrow?

Holy smoke, tomorrow's my day in the barrel.

There's a flyer about a major fencing operation somewhere in our little

I want it found and shut down.

It's a good thing he's the best fence in town. He is too weird to be anything

else.

Officer! Officer! My friend, they're beating him.

Alex,

this is just so strange. We've been in and out of each other's lives for eight

years.

What are we doing?

I think we're dancing.

I've been looking for you.

You gotta help me find the people who beat up George.

I don't know nothing.

Is this him?

Yeah, that's the captain, all right.

Andrew Seeley.

Previous arrest for receiving stolen property, aggravated assault.

Yeah, now murder. Where is he, Pete?

Freeze, police!

What you really want is this grant in England. You can't give that up for me.

You can't give that up.

Well, I can't ask you to give up your life's work either.

What are you saying?

I love you.

I want you to marry me.

And now, part two.

The case is simple.

There's no way I'm doing time on this.

There's no way they can prove that I knew that stuff was stolen.

This shit happens all the time.

See you, Lee.

Yeah, what is it?

Just because you made mail, don't leave town.

Why should I leave L .A.? I didn't know that stuff was stolen. You're a liar,

and I'm going to prove it.

Make a note of that.

I'll see you later.

Come on.

You know, a guy gets out on bail, he's not going to stick around in L .A. very

long. You know that, don't you? I know, but look on the bright side. At least

you've still got Stroud in custody.

What are you walking so fast for?

Oh, I'm just in a hurry to get out today.

What, you got a hot day with Alex?

That obvious, huh?

Gee, you two have been spinning around together the last four days.

Anybody that didn't know you... They swore you were a zombie.

I want to ask you something.

What do you think about Alex?

What do I think of Alex? I don't know. He seems like a nice enough guy, I

suppose. Well, I know that, but I mean, what do you really think about him?

Gee, you're awfully serious, aren't you?

Well, it's just that... You're my best friend, and...

You know, just from a man's point of view, what do you think?

Okay, on a scale of one to ten, I give him a nine -five.

Really? A nine -five?

How come not a ten?

Because he's not a police officer.

I don't care what you got.

I can't do nothing with the cops sitting on me.

I'm banking on you, man. Yeah?

Bank on somebody else. I'm out of business for a while.

I got some prime merchandise coming my way. You are passing up a very big deal.

Look, you tell me, smart guy.

I'm not on bail.

I'm facing heavy time.

Our lawyer's telling me to lie low. What would you do?

I need a pipeline I can count on. Who thought that was you?

My mistake.

Look, I'm not parking my life in the slam 20 years for your sake or anybody

else's. Ease off, man.

There's plenty of other people I can do business with. If you want to pass up a

solid gold deal, that's your problem.

How'd everything go at UCLA?

Not bad. Not bad. Pretty positive.

No guarantees, but I think that they may have a position for me.

Similar to the one that I was offered at Oxford. Now, all I need is a reason to

stay.

Believe you owe me an answer.

Very important question.

Yeah, I do.

I love you. I want you to be my wife.

Yes? Yes?

Oh!

You've made me so happy.

You're not going to regret this.

I'm going to make you.

Oh, you already have. Yeah?

I just, I have to know, are you very, very sure about this thing in England? I

know how much it means to you.

There'll be other opportunities.

Right now, you are the most important thing to me.

So now what do we do?

I don't know.

We tell everybody. We tell people.

Who do you want to tell first?

My family, of course.

Rick.

And I'll have to find a time where I can be alone with him and I can sit and we

can talk.

You and Rick have been partners for a long time. How do you think it's going

take you?

He's going to be very, very happy for me. Because I am happy for him.

I love you.

I love you very much.

Speaking of fat guys, whatever happened to Pete Mulcahy?

Oh, jeez.

He opened a little bar over in the Rampart. Oh, come on. Yeah, most of his

customers are cops. It's like he never even retired.

You know, when I mothball this job, I'm going to leave the department behind me

once and for all.

I'm not going to become another Pete Mulcahy. Well, to each his own, I

You still going to Idaho?

Oh, yeah, absolutely. My brother -in -law and I bought a motel up there.

Fifteen units on a beautiful lake.

We're going to run a little fishing camp.

You know my son's a forester, right? Yeah, sure.

So, I'm just going to play with my grandkids and fish.

Sounds great, huh?

Yeah, it's going to be terrific. You've got to come up and visit sometime.

Get away from the stink all over the city. Hey, get away from the Andrew

Steeleys of life, huh?

You know he made bail, don't you?

Come on, you're not surprised, are you? No, listen, I'm never surprised at what

the judicial system does in this city.

Okay, let's do it.

This is obviously not a very good drawing, but you get the idea. If you

foundation... Yeah, I got it. Rick, listen to me.

I made it official today.

What's that?

I put in for my 30 -year retirement.

You've got to be kidding me. No. Dave Peterson, congratulations, my man. Thank

you very much. Your dream's coming true, huh? Oh, it is. It is.

Hey, you're a young man. Don't waste it. Come on up and stay with us a while.

I'd love to.

But there's an old saying.

Everything in its time, David.

It's just not my time to retire. But I would like to come to Idaho and go

fishing with you. Well, do it. And do it soon, because I know a beautiful little

stream up there filled with trout where you can mellow out and forget L .A. even

exists. What I want to know is when the big retirement party is. I haven't said

it yet, but don't worry about it. I expect everyone from Chief Gates on down

be there. Really?

Mm -hmm.

Oh, man, look at the time.

Hey, put your money in your pocket.

You owe me one when I come up to Idaho to see you. All right.

Be my pleasure. Absolutely. Listen, I appreciate the two days on the street.

problem. All right. You take care. All right. Keep me posted on the party, huh?

All right. Hey, Rick. Yeah.

No lampshades.

Just

relax,

honey. This is kind of like a trip to the dentist. It'll all be over before

know it.

Take a look at this.

Ooh.

This has got to be worth, what, a quarter of a million?

What do you do, anyway?

That's none of your business.

You've got a wise mouth, pal, and you're in no position to open it. Look, you've

got what you want. Now get out of here.

Don't you ever tell me what to do. He didn't mean it. Please don't hurt him.

Attention all units.

185 Fairfield Lane. Code 30, ringer. Use caution.

Uh, 4 Lincoln 20, I'll take a Fairfield call.

Roger, Lincoln 20.

Backup is on the way.

I found this munchkin hiding upstairs.

I bet you she pulled a silent alarm.

Did you do that, little girl? Huh?

Did you do that?

Huh? Did you do that?

Huh? I told you!

No!

told you not to mess with me. For God's sake, please don't kill him.

I need nice people up.

I'm going to bring the car around.

Come on, let's get out of here. One second.

All right, put the stuff down real slow.

Interlock your fingers behind your head.

Turn around now.

Get out of here.

Hunter, need to talk to you a second.

Yeah, what's up?

Dave Peterson was killed last night.

We don't have any details. He was on his way home and looks like he answered a

211 call.

I was just with him last night.

I know that you two guys were close.

How was he killed, Charlie?

Shot in the back.

Shot in the back?

Shot in the back?

Why are you crying?

I wasn't crying, honey. I was just a little upset, that's all.

Are you a policeman?

Yes, I am.

What's your name?

Robin Hawkins.

I already talked to the other policeman last night.

Robin, did you see the men that broke into your house last night?

Yes, but they were wearing masks.

So you couldn't see their faces?

No.

The men were mean.

The one with the snakes, he pushed me down.

Snakes? What do you mean, snakes?

What kind of snakes?

Black ones.

Black snakes.

Did he have a tattoo?

No, a bracelet.

I see.

Is your mother and father okay?

Yeah.

Are they in the house?

Mm -hmm.

Okay, I'm going to go in and talk to them, okay?

Okay.

Thanks, Robin.

Why did they kill the other policeman?

I don't know, honey.

Must be a thousand people wearing those medical alert bracelets. How are we

going to narrow it down to our suspect?

Well, I'm checking NCIC for any convicted felons with medical problems.

great, but even if NCIC comes through, that list will be as long as our arms.

Look, that's the only lead I've got right now, Charlie.

How are you doing, Alex?

Hi, how are you doing? Hi.

I hope I'm not interrupting anything. I just wanted to talk a little bit.

Why don't we go in the conference room, okay? Sure, sure.

Hunter doesn't seem very happy.

There was a police officer that was killed, and it's kind of a tough

for him right now.

I'm sorry.

You couldn't know.

What's going on?

Well, I just spoke with the head of the department at UCLA.

We got along very well, but he threw me a curveball. They won't be doing any

hiring for at least six months, maybe a year, depending on the funding.

You're kidding. I thought that they were ready immediately.

So did I. It doesn't matter. I'll work it out. Of course...

You could leave all of this and just move with me to London.

That would be nice.

Yes, that would be very nice. I just don't know if I can make that kind of

just yet.

Big one.

Whatever you decide will work out.

Excuse me. We do have some work to do.

Yeah.

Okay, as soon as he gets in, have him give me a call. I appreciate it very

Thank you.

Let's find out.

I have traced a dozen possible suspects.

They either all live out of state or they have solid alibis for last night.

Yeah, I'm going to have Charlie put a couple more detectives with him. Not a

idea. Hunter Homicide. This is Bolin over at Hollenbeck. I think I got

for you.

I just had a burglary victim go through some of the property that Andrews Peely

was fencing.

Our victim found his TV in a VCR, but that's not the half of it. Yeah? The TV

and VCR was stolen by some home crashers. The same M .O. used by the

killed Peterson.

I'd lay odds that Andrew Seeley knows who they are.

Tom, you've been a big help. Thanks very much.

Let's go.

I'm not sure I'm getting through to you on this one.

That stuff the cops found you fencing leads back to me.

So?

So if the cops figure it out, I don't want you rolling over on me. I'm not

telling the cops squat.

Well,

I'm just making sure that's all.

Because my life rides on this one.

I'm not a cement wall.

I got the message.

Didn't I tell you we could count on this guy? But you said.

Here he is, third floor.

Thanks, Captain.

Yeah, right.

Get out of here!

The ladder.

I'll never make it.

We will one at a time. You draw a fire, I'll cover you when I get there.

You take care.

I'll let you down. Ready?

Go!

composite ids him as everett pratt armed assault robbery attempted murder he's

also a diabetic which gives him a perfect reason to wear a medical alert

bracelet now all we got to do is find him that's what stroud's gonna tell me

right now where can i find everett pratt never heard of him

come here for a minute wait a minute you're looking at 10 years punk now

is he can we work a deal or something yeah we can work a deal where is he I

don't know where he is. He dropped the stuff off. We pay him. We move stuff

You know how it works. Yeah, I know how it works. We're compressing the stuff.

Come on. Don't go to sleep.

There's maybe a dozen guys who can handle the volume the captain was doing.

Good.

Start writing.

You're telling me to tell you this and you were almost killed?

What are we, crazy or something, man?

Let's forget the damn stuff and get the hell out.

Keep your voice.

Now. We're not going anywhere until we fence the stuff we already got. It's too

big a risk now.

No, it isn't. We're just dropping the stuff off, that's all.

I just want out of this, Brad. Okay, you're out. There's the door, hotshot.

you gotta do is walk through it, but you leave with nothing.

All right.

I will unload this.

Who's going to fence it now?

Galsby mentioned a guy named Negruder.

Says he's really good.

Take your hands off the tables.

You really have to go.

Yeah.

I have a lot of work to do.

You never quit, huh?

I told you a police officer was murdered.

Hunter's probably in interrogation right now, and I should be there. I really

should. You don't think he can handle it on his own?

It's not about him.

It's part of my job, you know that.

Did you tell him yet?

No, I haven't told him.

Not yet.

I see.

It just has to be the right time.

What's going on?

Alex, there's just so many changes happening and I'm... And here

you are willing to give up something that you've wanted for your whole life.

You know, if this thing at UCLA doesn't work out, I'm going to feel responsible.

You're not responsible.

I am.

I'm an adult. I can take care of myself.

But I want you to be a part of my life.

Everything's going to be okay.

Yeah, I know it will.

Captain. Yeah, what's going on? Yeah, I ran the list of names I got from Stroud

against Kelsey's known associates. I got one constant.

A fence by the name of McGruder. That's great. Yeah, is McCall in here? Yeah,

she's inside.

Hey, hey, listen. Take it easy. I will. Yeah.

This is William 56.

Show us code 6.

1700 Pritchard Street, Terminal Island.

Okay, I don't know if Magruder's in there or not or who he's with.

Let's not take any chances. Why don't you go around to the back?

Okay, give me about 20 seconds. You got 10.

You're so demanding.

You know, Magruder, I don't think that prison food agrees with you.

You'd lose a little weight.

All right, bend your arm at

the elbow.

How's that?

All right.

All right, raise your arm up in the air. Raise it above your head.

How's that? That's a little sore in there.

All right.

How's she doing?

It's all right. No broken bones. Bad bruises. Possible hematoma.

I suggest she put her arm in a sling for a couple of weeks, but that's up to

her. I don't need to do that. It's fine.

I'm all finished. You can leave whenever you'd like. Thanks very much. Thank

you. Take it easy.

I just finished talking to Charlie. Why don't you take the rest of the day off?

I don't need to take the rest of the day off. I'm fine.

Thank you.

What do you got on Magruder?

Well, we think Magruder's a hotline to Pratt. We're setting up a surveillance

Magruder's right now.

You think he's gonna go for that?

He has no choice.

Dee Dee?

I just heard. Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine. How'd you even find out I was here? I called the precinct and

they told me you were here. What happened?

We went to go interview a suspect.

He attacked you, right? I mean, that's what they told me. No, he didn't attack

me. I just got knocked down.

Like that's no big deal or something?

Look, I gotta take care of some business. I'll talk to you later.

I'm a doctor. I'm used to being around hospitals.

But this is very new for me.

You're acting like this is some kind of an occupational hazard, or it goes with

the territory.

Alex, that's exactly right. I mean, come on, you know that.

Sometimes my job demands that I get put in dangerous situations.

That's part of my job. All right, all right.

Look, I haven't said no to Oxford yet. Perhaps we should reconsider. How's

I take the job.

You come with me. Is that good?

Wait a second. You're asking me to...

Give up what I do? You're asking me to give up my life? Give up what? The

possibility of being killed? Alex, you don't have a right to ask me to give up

what I do. I have every right.

I love you. We're getting married, remember?

Look, Dee Dee, uh... This is not some capricious demand that I am making.

I don't know if I could handle the idea of my wife being shot at.

I don't know if I can deal with that.

I realize that I'm asking you to make a sacrifice.

Just think about it, all right? Please.

Alex, I don't... I don't know if I can make that sacrifice.

Well, we're both going to have to deal with that, aren't we?

Make sure you tuck that camera next to the other TV.

Now, with all the electronic stuff that's in here, even if someone noticed

bit, they'll think it's just a part of what McGrude is fencing.

We got a surveillance van two blocks away. The way it's parked, they'll never

notice it.

Good. You sure betting a lot that Pratt'll show up? No, Pratt'll show up

right. When he does, he's mine.

Hi, how you doing? This must be your home, aren't you?

Yeah, I didn't want to be at home.

Oh, you know Tom Bowen, don't you?

Sure. Yeah, how you doing?

Listen, I'm gonna finish up around here and get back to the van. If anything

happens, I'll let you know. Yeah, thanks, Tom.

You should be home, Rusty.

Why don't you stop mothering me? I'm fine, all right?

What's going on?

There's nothing going on.

Wait, what are you doing?

Hey, McCall.

McCall?

Hey.

Hey, wait, what are you doing?

I used to know exactly what I wanted.

Now I just don't even know anymore.

Sergeant Hunter.

Are we going somewhere, Alex?

Yeah, I'm going to London. What can I do for you?

I'll get right to the point, Alex. I want you to back off McCall.

Yeah, well, with all due respect, Sergeant Hunter, what happens between me

Dee Dee is really none of your business.

It is my business, Alex.

I'm a police officer.

McCall is my partner. I'm working on something very, very important. I need

You're screwing her up. Back off. You are way out of line here. Yeah, yeah.

I love her.

Yeah, so do I.

Back off.

That's a good idea.

Hey, listen, I'm sorry that I got upset yesterday.

Yeah, forget about it.

I should have told you what's been going on, but Peterson's murder and

everything, it just never seemed like the right time.

Now I don't even know if it matters anymore.

Hey, just what is going on?

Alex asked me to marry him.

What'd you say?

I said yes.

But after yesterday afternoon, I'm... I'm not sure. It just seems like it's

up in the air. I don't know.

1 William, 156.

56, go.

Go to channel 21 for transmission with Detective Bolin.

Bolin, Hunter here.

Hunter, where the hell are you?

We're about five minutes away.

Good, because we got action down here.

Some guy by the name of William showed up claiming to be a friend of Kelsey's.

It was about 10 minutes ago.

Good. And Hunter, he said he and I...

Boy, I don't like this.

What are you crying about now, Jake?

I don't know. There's got to be some other way.

I don't trust Magruder.

Look, we're just going to drop this stuff off and be on our way.

Five minutes, we'll be gone. In and out.

What kept you?

You got no time for conversation.

You got the money?

Yeah, I got your money

Hi. How long have you been standing there?

Not very long.

Just needed to be alone.

Have some time to think about some things.

I'm by the hotel talking to Alex. I owe him an apology. You see, last night he

went over and kind of shot my mouth off.

I was a little out of line, so I went back and told him so.

He loves you very much.

You love him?

Yeah.

I never thought that I could feel like this again after Stephen died.

But I do.

What are you going to do about it?

I want to be with him.

That means going off to London.

He's been offered a great job there.

Of course, I checked into it for myself. There's an organization I can work with

there that deals with kids, so I can still be of service. That's important to

me.

It's part of what this job has been here for me.

And this job is... I wouldn't trade the memories for anything.

They're all right here.

It's just saying goodbye is really hard.

of friends to say goodbye.

What we've had is almost like a marriage. So saying goodbye is not like

divorce.

It's just that it makes me feel good to know that you found someone you want to

share your life with.

It makes me feel good.

I'm going to miss you.

We've had some times, huh?

I guess if I need to find you, I know where I can look.

Yep. Right over there. Extension 315.

Look.

Go to Alex.

Go to London. Buy a big, nice house.

Lots of closet space.

You're going to need it.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Let me kiss the bride.

I present to you, Dr.

and Mrs. Alexander Turner.

Well,

it looks like the end of an era.

Oh, I don't know, Charlie.

I think it could be the beginning of a new one.

Bye -bye. Bye -bye.

Wait a minute. You're going to throw that thing?

Oh, that thing.

I'll get it.
