All language subtitles for Hunter s07e08 The Usual

I've never been to Europe before.

I've heard it's a long flight.

Well, it can be. Well, it depends which
way you're going.

Well, I go to New York and I switch
planes there to Paris.

Really? That'd be quicker for you to go
over the pole.

Over the pole?

Yeah, you see, Carol, London is at a
different latitude than the United

You have to understand. So when you go
over the pole, drop down over London, go

south into Europe, you're actually going
southeast away from the setting sun in

the west.

I bet you can't say that without using
your hands.

You maniac!

This is a brand new car!

I'm going to sue you for everything
you've got. For what?

Time away from your telephone?

Hey, let me see your license. You missed
out on three big deals in the last ten

seconds. Hey!

I'm a police officer. I don't care who
you are.

Come on.

And now what do we do?

Well, I gotta get him downtown to book
him.

Will you go down there with me?

What are you looking at?

Oh, he's a real charmer, isn't he?

Look, cop, I got about a week's pay in
my wallet. Why don't you help yourself

and just forget about this? The only
thing you have is the right to remain

silent. Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.

Look, I'm really sorry about this,
Carol, really.

Hey, don't apologize.

This will be fun.

You have the right to have an attorney
present during questioning. Rick, I got

an idea.

Why don't you just handcuff him to the
bumper, and if we're lucky, someone will

run him over.

Mr. Slade, I'm shot.

One acquittal on attempted murder, three
priors on assault, and two on robbery.

Conviction on each count.

Served 18 months.

Let's see, what else do we have on you
here?

Warrant for your arrest on $980 worth of
parking tickets? You're a one -man

crime wave, aren't you, Mr. Slade?

He'll be spending the night.

Good night and good luck.

Corbin, this is Elmer Vicki. Book him on
indecent exposure.

So, 647A, huh?

Okay, you guys.

Get it out of your system.

Did you see it?

He was in the act when I got there.

Oh, she was wonderful, Sergeant.

I like display windows. Big department
stores.

She came as soon as the window dresser
called it in.

Very efficient.

She saw it all.

Who else saw it?

Just the person who phoned it in.

And what did they say about it?

They said she was wonderful, too. Really
wonderful.

Okay, Vicki, come on, that's enough.
Let's go.

Hunter, I thought you had the night off.

Well, I did have the night off, but
circumstances prevailed. Have a good

Hey, Hunter, you got that arrested for
us?

Oh, yes, I do.

Just one moment here, Billy.

And she is all yours.

Have a good night, thanks.

Good luck.

Oh, Joanne.

You seem to handle these types of people
very well.

Let's go blade

I'll

move it

we could talk

You came in this morning to find out
that the perps you arrested last night

been released.

Do not feel like the Lone Ranger.

The last count citywide, and praise God
I hope it's the last count, is 43

released.

Now apparently there was some screw -up
with the computers.

Needless to say, the mayor, the
commissioner, and Commander Clayton are

interested to see that we straighten
this accident out before it hits the

Yes.

Yeah, I know I just came in late, but
could anybody tell me what's happening?

Well, I don't know the details. It was
something to do with the computer. I am

not a computer expert, but I have the
man you want to talk to right here from

computer services.

Hawkins, what happened?

We're not sure.

It could be human error. It could be
mechanical.

We're working on it.

I'm going to review the entire DOS list
in the mainframe. I'll resector the

entire network looking for changes in
the batch files or any misplaced

directories.

What can I tell you, ladies and
gentlemen? It's going to be a lot of

Well, thanks, Hawkins.

Now, all these guys who were released
were people arrested last night.

I have pledged Metro to go in there and
clean this mess up right away.

And I'm going to put Sergeant Hunter in
charge of the whole shooting match. Now,

you all remember Sergeant Hunter?

That's right. Field assignments,
communication, the whole thing, it's

Here's the list of releases.

Well, give me a minute to read the
material, and there'll be a meeting in

tactics room at about 0900.

Thank you all, and thank you, Captain.

Okay, now you can leave my office.

Any questions?

See Sergeant Hunter.

All right?

Let's try to clear this thing up with a
little luck. It'll be 48 hours.

Get in

I

Got your message I'm the one who got you
released.

I work for the DA.

Oh I just entered data onto the
computer.

I got your address from your record

What's the deal?

You lonely or something?

No. I wanted to tell you that the police
will be after you in a little while,

but you're still a few jumps ahead.

I want you to do something.

Oh, don't worry. I'll pay you.

That ain't from a phone.

No, it isn't. How much?

I have $5 ,000.

I will pay you half up front and half
after.

Are you serious?

Yes, I am.

What do you want me to do?

Kill my husband.

Look, I'm trying to keep this to two per
team where possible, so just bear with

me, okay? I appreciate that.

Okay, Malinsky, you've got Ernie Lidell,
the car thief.

And if you'd be so kind as to take Joe
Golder as a jewelry French, I'd

appreciate that.

Thanks a lot.

Rivera? Yeah?

You're good with nutcases.

You got Elmer Bickey.

Bickey, huh?

What's he, a hold -up guy?

Well, you might say that. You see, he
goes into department stores, takes his

clothes off, and holds himself up
against the window.

Hey, look, Conor, you know, I'm not good
with these type of guys, you know?

Yeah, you're right, you're not.

Okay, look, human whiskey swap.

Yeah, come on, just swap. It's okay.

Yeah. Yeah, there you go. Good. Now,
look, the rest of these are assignments,

not draft choices, okay?

Oh, yeah, Rivera, do me a favor. Take
Butch Swire. He's a speed dealer. Also

take the woman that works with him, all
right?

Uh, Bobby?

I'm not gonna like this on my hunter.

I don't think so.

Oh, no, man, not the liquor store guys
from last night.

Yep. I hate those guys.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that, Bobby.

Now, look, we need everybody we can out
in the field, so I'm going to be out

there with you.

I'm taking a guy by the name of Phil
Slade. I brought him in last night for

assault. Also, Al Pandola and Ramon
Gonzalez, okay?

Hey, honey, you got an extra one there?

Um... Oh, what do you think? I'm sitting
behind a desk too long or something?

Well, no, Captain. If you want one, I
can give you one here. Let's see. Okay.

Abdul Perez.

Steals manhole covers.

Manhole covers.

You don't have anything a little more
challenging, huh?

Come on, if you don't want that one. No,
I'm not going to pull rank on you.

I'll get this manhole freak, and then
I'll make myself available.

Whatever you need me for. Fair enough?

We appreciate that, Captain. Really,
thank you very much.

Hawkins?

Just this.

I backtracked, and I found that the
glitch wasn't in the computer hardware.

It was definitely human error.

I don't know if it was accidental or
deliberate, whether it came from the

outside or the inside, but if it was
deliberate, I will find who did it.

Well, that's fine. Let's just hope it
doesn't happen again.

Okay. Everybody, let's remember what I
said. I'm trying to get these guys

the press does, all right? That's it.
Okay. Good luck, everybody. See you out

there.

You, uh, you sure you're not in over
your head with this manhole thing? Oh,

me a break. Well, yeah, Hunter, I mean,
what do you think? I've never been on

the streets or something?

Who's there?

Hi, I'm Officer Joanne Malensky, LAPD.

I'd like to ask you a few questions
about your husband.

He doesn't live here. We're divorced.

This was his last official residence.

Look, um, I'm afraid I can't help you.
He doesn't come around here.

I just got an injunction to keep him
away from Amanda.

That's my daughter.

He better not come around.

On what grounds, may I ask?

Sure.

Habitual criminal activities, I think
the way the judge put it.

Well, when was the last time you saw
him?

I don't know, maybe two or three weeks
ago.

Look, if you do hear from him or can
think of anything that would point us

toward him, would you give me a call?

If I see him, I'll call you. You can be
sure.

Thanks a lot.

I've been thinking about this.

And? I'll do it.

If you give me another thousand bucks.

I don't have another thousand dollars.

I don't have another twenty dollars.

What's that worth?

I don't know, maybe nine hundred?

I'll take it.

If you don't want to.

I'm already two and a half grand in the
black.

I'll just drive away.

How... When will you do it?

You don't need to know.

It's better that way for the both of us.
You just go about your business as

usual. I'll contact you.

And hey!

Don't try and Welsh on the rest of the
money.

I won't.

What are you doing here?

I'm parked legally.

Look, lady, I'm sorry, but look at the
sign.

I could have sworn that sign wasn't
there before.

We all make mistakes.

Well, how was I supposed to see that?

I don't believe this. This is
outrageous.

I mean, what is the parking ticket now,
$90?

Well, I don't know about that, but I
think you're right. It is a lot of

Look, you really haven't hooked me up
yet, so... Oh, no, it's only going to

a couple of seconds, really.

Well, couldn't you just let me go?

Look.

It doesn't seem fair that you have to
pay the full $90.

$40, and I'll get out of your hair.

That's great.

Oh, you don't know how much I appreciate
that. $20 and $40. Thanks.

Ramon, you're really wasting your talent
doing this type of stuff.

But they just let me out.

Oh, let's go.

Hey, Joe.

How about this? It's just like old home
week.

Where'd you get him?

That cabron made me chase him through
half of N .C. Well,

Mike claims he can't be booked twice on
the same crime.

What do you think?

Do me a favor, will you? Book this guy
for me. I'm going to go to Phil Slade's,

okay? Sure.

See ya.

Hey, you're a lot cuter than that guy.

Molenski, telephone line two.

Oh, I'll take it in there.

Would you take care of Don Juan for me
here? Yeah, I got it. Come on, Don.

Officer Malensky.

Officer Malensky, this is Mrs. Lydell.

He's taken her.

What are you talking about?

My husband's got my daughter, Amanda.

He took her the moment she stepped off
the bus.

Are you sure, Mrs. Lydell?

Did you check with the school?

The bus stops just up the block from our
house.

Amanda's friend said it was definitely
Ernie who took her.

He's got my daughter.

Do you have any idea where he would have
taken her?

No.

No, I don't.

Please find her.

Please.

I'll be right over.

I don't know what takes you so long.

You get back from work an hour before I
do.

Sorry.

I had to go to the market tonight.

Then go on the weekends.

Where's your ring?

Oh, the tone was loose. I took it to
have it repaired.

I didn't want to take a chance of losing
it.

You bet you didn't.

Aren't you going to eat?

22 of them back into custody. Keep up
the good work, guys.

I figure 21.

Well, no, wait. Let's see. You've got
18, and then, Rivera, you've got the

Swire. Right.

And Bobby Neal, the liquor store guy.
All right. And O 'Neal got his perp.

and the last time I looked, 18 and 4 was
22.

21, 22.

What's the difference? The difference is
I got mine, and I get to go home.

Well, congratulations, Rivera.

Good work, Jimmy.

First thing in the morning, I'm going to
follow up on a lead I got.

Lydell worked odd jobs at a body shop
owned by an ex -con he served juvie time

with. That's good.

You're following that one.

Okay, everybody, have a good night. Good
work.

First thing in the morning, hit it hard.
We got 21 left.

So, we got anything new on that guy
Slade?

Yeah, his landlord said he took off in
the middle of the night like somebody

after him. Well, we better get on that
guy, huh? Yeah.

Oh, by the way, are we still on for
tomorrow?

Oh, yeah.

All systems are go.

Great. Oh, Charlie.

How are we doing on Ed Norton?

Hunter.

To the moon.

Into free arraignment.

Oh, yes.

Check subdirectories.

Who are you talking to, Hawkins?

Oh, Sergeant Hunter.

Yeah, I just thought I'd pop in and see
how you're doing, what's going on. The

glitch definitely came from inside the
network.

Is that good?

We're not sure.

Maybe it was deliberate, maybe not. I'm
eliminating departments where it could

have originated.

I see. Like what?

Like Metro, and homicide, next,
narcotics, and then

the world.

You like these computers, don't you,
Hawkins?

Yes, they're much easier to interface
with than people.

You need help, Hawkins?

Oh, Hunter, it's you who needs help.

I'm your guy.

Bear with me.

Let's see what we got.

Chips?

Cookies?

Backlips?

Hello?

Eddie. Yeah, I've been trying to get a
hold of you.

I got some great Porsche parts for you,
okay?

Well, look, I promise.

Yeah, but I need an advance.

You know I deliver.

Look, I'm going to come down there,
okay?

Yeah.

But we got to talk.

Daddy, I think this is a little too
babyish for me.

You're right.

I guess I didn't realize how big you've
gotten.

I'll get to the right stuff next time.
Look.

But this has grown up enough, hasn't it?

Look, Amanda, Daddy's got to go out for
a little while.

And I want you to wait here for me till
I get back. I want to go with you. I

don't want to stay here alone. No, no,
sweetheart.

It's only going to be for a little
while.

You can watch TV. You can color.

You can look at the pretty magazines.

There's plenty of food for you if you
get hungry. Just keep the door locked

don't let anyone in, okay?

I'll be right back I promise.

I love you.

Hi, Mort.

How'd you make out?

Hey, I got my guy. How about you? Now,
this fella tried to pull a Bronco

Nagurski on me, but I got him.

Bobby Haynes just picked up numbers 30
and 31.

Hey, that's great news, Captain.

You know, I'm having Hawkins run Slade's
parking citation to see if we can come

up with some sort of pattern as to where
he might be hanging out. It's all

coming together.

You know, he did a good job catching
that guy, Richard.

Well, thanks.

Listen, if you need any help with Slade,
just let me know.

Well, thank you. I can handle Slade.
Besides, you got your hands full with

manhole guy.

Don't start with the manhole guy. He's
that close to being arrested.

Sergeant Hunter.

Yeah. There's a Mrs. Beasley downstairs,
and she's pretty hot.

Yeah, why is that?

Well, it seems she was walking her
poodle Fluffy across the street when it

into an open manhole.

Sergeant Hunter, Hawkins wants to talk
to you right away. He says it's

important. Oh, good, thanks.

And, Joe, tell Mrs.

Beasley that Captain Devane will be
right down.

Who would name the damn dog Fluffy
anyway?

Vicki? Where'd you find him?

I just caught him pressing himself up
against the jungle window at the safari

shop, shouting, God want to punish me.

Just doing what had to be done.

Get him out of here.

Oh, I got another lead on Ernie Lydell.

He's over at the Stardust Motel on
Cahuenga. Great. After you book him,

Rivera with you.

Hawkins? I was picking out Clay's
traffic citations. Last one is this one

Abacus Street. Permit parking only. Went
into the computer this morning.

Check and see if anything occurred there
this morning.

I've already cross -referenced it.

Here's a printout.

There was a homicide on the same block
of Abacus Street sometime between 9 a

and 12 noon.

3459, Herbert Bertolian, Vice President,
Unidac Incorporated, 41 years of age,

no children, wife works as a programmer,
information services, DA's office.

Hawkins, you're doing a great job on
this case. Let's go.

Daddy just wants you to stay with him
for a little while.

You know, go on that vacation we talked
about. See the Atlantic Ocean.

Who is it?

I'm Officer Joanne Malensky, LAPD.

I'm looking for Amanda Lidell and her
father.

What the hell do you want?

Mr. Lidell?

Officer Rivera and I have a warrant for
your arrest.

They let me go.

That was a mistake.

A computer error?

Look, I'm sorry, but you have to come
with us. We can drop your daughter off

her mother's house.

Ha, hon, forget that.

No, no way.

Look, you just better get out of here,
because I'm not going to do that.

Now get a gun.

And I got enough explosives to level
this place.

Just get away from the door now.

All right, take it easy.

We're going.

Don't do anything. We're out of here.

Stay calm.

R21 Charles to 114, request backup to
Stardust Motel 116 Colfax.

Bobby.

What about the hostage negotiations
team?

He won't talk to anyone but Malinsky.

And sometimes he won't talk to her.

But I think she's the only one that has
a shot at him.

What's Lidell's frame of mind right now?

Well, right now he's calm.

But every time Malinsky mentions
surrender, he gets real edgy.

Let's not push him, okay? We'll keep the
lines of communication open.

So how's the rest of the roundup going,
Charlie? Oh, not too bad, actually. We

got 34 out of 43.

If we get Lidell without hurting
anybody, I'll be real happy.

Me too, Captain.

You know, I think the key to this may be
Lydell's wife.

Where is she?

Well, a black and white picked her up
about 20 minutes ago. She's on her way

here right now.

Well, maybe she'll talk some sense into
him, right?

Sometimes there's a way to bring back
information people think they've erased.

If we're lucky, I may be able to
recreate Jane Amartolian's work of that

Thanks very much. Well, if you can do
that, I'll buy you dinner.

Come on, don't talk to Papa.

I'm backlogging her inputs.

You love me, don't you, baby, even
though we're just strangers in the

Well, what do we have here?

Phil Slade, that's the guy I'm looking
for. He should have never been in this

file area unless...

Mrs. Liddell, I'm Captain Devane. You
want to come with me? What's going on

here? Is Amanda okay? She's fine. She's
with your husband. They're both safe.

Where's Ernie?

He's in a motel room right there at the
end here. Officer Malinsky's with him

now. We'd like you to talk to him, see
if you can get him to come out. He says

he has a bomb.

A bomb? Ernie doesn't know anything
about bombs.

Look, we need your help. Will you talk
to him?

Well, yes.

I'll do whatever I can.

The first time Bert beat me, I couldn't
go to work because I couldn't walk.

That was years ago.

But the very last time, only ten days
ago, it wasn't so bad.

But he never hit me in the face.

And that's when you decided to kill him?

Oh, I've been thinking about it for
years, but...

I knew I could never do it myself.

That's why I went looking for someone
like Mr. Slade.

I was hoping that if I got a whole lot
of prisoners released, he might get lost

in the shuffle.

I never thought you'd connect him to me.

You know what the sentence for murder
one is, Miss Petolia?

Oh, yes.

I looked it up in the penal code.

Life without possibility of parole or
death.

That's right.

I think we may be able to help you if
you tell us where Mr. Slade is.

Miss Petolian?

You don't want to die, do you?

No, I don't.

Alice is here.

Ernie?

Mommy!

Hi, sweetheart.

I'll be seeing you soon, honey, but
first you have to be quiet so Mommy and

Daddy can talk, okay?

Ernie, are you going to talk to me?

Sure, I...

I just don't know what to say.

I'm sorry I gave you a hard time about
visiting Amanda.

But you were very undependable, Ernie.

And I was worried about her.

I know you love Amanda more than
anything or anyone.

So why don't you come out and we'll
figure something out.

I don't think it's going to be that
easy.

I kind of made a mess of everything.

Well, you'll be okay.

I don't want anything to happen to
either one of you.

Amanda means the world to me, too, and
I'd never forgive myself, Ernie, if

anything ever happened to you.

What about the police?

Ernie, nothing bad is going to happen.

I give you my word.

I'm sorry, honey.

I'm really sorry.

Will you help me?

Yes, I will.

I want things to be all right for us.

Just to be a family again, that's all I
really want. I'll try, Ernie. I'll

really try.

Yes, thank you very much Goodbye

You want your money or what?

You. Yeah.

This one's on me.

You got Slade all tucked away, huh? All
signed, sealed, and delivered.

I love it when we tie these things up.
Nice, neat little loose ends. Yeah,

not quite.

There's something I want to show you.
Sure, sure. You got a minute?

Absolutely. You know, Commander
Clayton's really happy with the

Oh, that's good.

You know, Hunter, this business about
going back on the streets is a great

It really reinvigorates a guy, you know?

Yeah, well, take a look at this,
Charlie.

The manhole covers.

Right.

How'd you catch the guy?

Well, it seems that he was on his way up
Grand Avenue to Dorothy Chandler

Pavilion, got halfway up the hill and
stalled out.

He'd been selling his manhole covers for
scrap metal, Charlie.

Scrap metal?

Mm -hmm.

You know, I would have got this guy. Oh,
believe me, I know you would have, in

time. There was just, there was a lot
going on. You know, we were busy. I

understand completely.

Absolutely. We had all the faith in the
world in you.

Yeah, well.

I appreciate that. Oh,

Miss Beasley called.

They found Fluffy.

Fluffy the dog?

Uh -huh.

Seems the dog washed up on the beach in
San Pedro.

But he made the trip just fine. He's
okay.

Well, I guess that just goes to show
you.

What's that, Charlie?

The system does work.
