Tonight on Hunter.

You know what's out there? The pathological killers.

You want a menu or you want to just choose from the buffet?

All right, that's it. Hollow point.

All four women killed with a nine millimeter round.

Nine millimeter as in police issue?

How are you?

You look good. What are you doing here?

I was just in the area kicking around. The couple of girls saw Dina being

out of the hotel by a uniformed cop.

Freeze right there. Can't play.

You ready to go, honey?

I said, are we ready to go?

Yeah, well, I guess so.

Well, you want a menu or you just want to choose from the buffet?

Maybe the glass of water?

Honey, I don't serve water.

Look, could we maybe just slow down a little bit?

It's about as slow as it's going to get.

All right, that's it.

You, over there.

What did I do?

Face against the wall and don't move.

Well, do you mind if I get dressed?

Do it.

You're lucky.

Tonight you get a pass.

I'll beat it.

Thank you.

You didn't see any money change hands, you know. I know that for a fact.

Tell it to the court, honey.

You're under arrest for 647B.

You got nothing to bust me on.

Oh, you're going to tell me two consenting adults can't do it?

Hey, hey.

How about I give you a discount?

We talk about your mother.

Let's go.

Easy.

and waving your arms up high.

What are you, asleep?

That's Debbie Small.

Do you remember Debbie from Pierce High? Of course.

On her homicide.

How are you?

You look good. What are you doing here? I was just in the area, kicking around.

I thought I'd stop by and say hello.

Well, I'm... I'm glad you did, but I mean, what are you doing here in

California? I thought you were down in Florida with your mom. Hi, Libby.

Hi.

Um, well, I'm just out here for a couple of weeks, seeing some friends.

Uh, we just got a 187 downtown.

Oh, all right, I'll join you. I'll take it.

Are you sure? Yeah.

Well, you buzzed me for meeting you.

Right, well, um, the worst cup of coffee I know about is right next door, you

game? Let's do it.

You can let the kids go.

Keep sweeping the area. Let me know if anything turns up.

Donna!

How you doing, hon? Hi, Hunter. I got it as soon as I could. Yeah, thanks. What

have you got?

Well, you tell me.

Oh, my God. It's Dina Coolidge.

What can you tell me about this person?

Well, last night, a couple of girls working the same block saw Dina being

out of the hotel by a uniformed cop.

Uniformed cop? One officer?

That's what they said.

Doesn't sound right.

I need you to set up that meeting with those girls as soon as you can, huh?

Poor Dina.

She's been up to the center a couple of times.

Can't beat her up.

John shook her down. We talked, patch her up. She'd go right back to the

again.

God, Hunter, this is four in the last two months, isn't it?

Same ammo, large caliber bullet, close range, handcuffs.

This amazing place that has, like, five bedrooms, this pool, this huge garage

with all these old cars, and Dave's really into old cars.

Dave. Who's Dave?

My stepdad.

Ever since my mom remarried, like, since when I was eight, I've been calling him

Dave, so... Wasn't he the guy you didn't get along to well? I thought you said

he didn't like you too much. Yeah, I guess.

Well, his law firm's doing better, so he's not always 15 and moaning.

Like you did before I moved out here.

Good.

You know, it sounds a lot better, Debbie.

Yeah, I guess.

I still miss my friends.

My dad.

I took flowers to the grape today.

That's nice.

You know, it seems to me like you've got a lot of good things to look forward to

for yourself.

So what do you want to do?

I don't know.

My mom wants me to go to college.

But... I'd like to take a year just to get my head together.

I don't think that's such a bad idea.

You think maybe you might want to stay out here?

Yeah. Yeah, maybe get a job and try to survive for a while.

Yeah, it can be a little rough being 18 all on your own.

Well, it's rougher living in a condo in Fort Lauderdale with two elderly people.

Yeah, well, I see your point. Yeah?

Not as rough as this coffee.

I think we'd better drink any more of this.

Looks like it's in one piece.

You want to hand me that evidence bag?

Nine millimeter hollow point.

Want me to clean it? No, ballistics will do that. Thank you.

No problem.

Sorry I'm late. That's okay.

We're on our way down to ballistics.

I'll throw you in on the way down.

Carl?

You missed a great craniotomy.

What a shame.

Here's a match, if I ever saw it.

There. Take a look at that.

All four women killed with a 9mm round.

9mm as in police issue?

Perhaps.

We'll see, won't we?

I'll get in touch with the watch commander, get a list of all the

were in the area where the victims were found.

Correct.

I'll try and get a hold of Dean's job.

Let me know. Yeah.

Homicide, McCall.

Yes, I have a long -distance call for you from Florida.

Go ahead, please.

Oh, hello, Sergeant McCall.

This is Judy Miller.

Debbie's mother?

Do you remember me?

We spoke at Jack's funeral.

Yes. Hi, Mrs. Miller. How are you?

Well, I'm fine, thank you.

I'm sorry to bother you, but, uh... Well, I know that you and Debbie

pretty good relationship when her father was killed.

Yeah, you know, I saw her just today.

You did?

Yeah, she seemed to be fine and looking forward to the future and everything.

You sound worried.

Well, I am.

Since she left the house, we've heard less and less... from her.

I know she's 18 and I can't legally make her come home, but I wish she would.

Mrs. Miller, I was under the impression that Debbie had your blessings when she

came out.

Well, she didn't exactly leave on good terms.

She had a blow -up with her stepdad.

Oh, yeah. She said that they'd had a rocky past, but I thought that they were

getting along better.

Well, I just want to talk to her to see if she's okay.

Well, I'll tell you what. I will call her. I got her number sitting around

somewhere, and I'll give her the message. How's that?

Thank you.

I'm really very sorry to bother you. No, that's okay. I'm glad you called.

Bye -bye.

13A43, roger your code 4. All units code 4 to 459, they are now.

651E12.

Thank you.

You girls ever work for a sketch artist?

Oh, yeah.

This guy down in Venice painted me for some kind of tool -and -die calendar.

Oh, wow. A sketch artist works a bit like that.

Now, look, I want you to take a look at these police officers. If any one of

these looks familiar, it might be the guy that came out of the hotel that

I want you to flag it with one of these, okay?

And I want to thank you for bringing them down. Hey, they want this Creepos

street as much as I want them off the street.

Don, take a look at this stud muffin.

What's up?

I cross -checked the last places the four victims were seen alive against

their bodies were found. There's a total of 39 uniformed officers that were

there either in one place or the other. Were any of the officers linked by a

common location?

Yeah, there were three of them. There was Officer Bill Park, Central, Jim

Central, and John Washington, Rampart. Got pictures coming.

What about Ballistics?

Ballistics is doing a test firing. There's no results yet.

Okay.

I'm going to take the girls down to see the sketch artist.

Are you expecting anybody?

Oh, but I'm glad she's here.

How are you guys doing?

Well, we'd all like to know if Officer McKnight is single.

Nothing.

Let's go see the sketch artist.

Sergeant Hunter.

You're over there.

She's a friend of Sergeant McCall's, why?

I don't know.

She looked familiar.

Come on.

I think I'm starting to like the coffee here.

Oh, big mistake.

Pretty soon you'll be wanting to order the tuna milk.

Bad. Oh, yeah, they don't use tuna.

I'm sorry I missed your message last night.

I got in late.

Crashed. So what's up?

Your mother called me.

My mother?

I can't believe it.

She sounded kind of concerned about you.

I know. That's what mothers are supposed to do.

She wants me to come home, and I want to make it on my own.

Does your stepfather want you to come home, too?

Look, I don't see why we have to talk about my family life.

Well, we don't have to. It's just that, look, your mom called. She sounded kind

of upset.

It's not such a big deal. Why don't you just pick up the phone and call them and

let them know you're all right?

I'd just rather order the tuna melt.

No, believe me, you wouldn't.

All of them, all right.

Ballistics cleared the three officers.

If they were out shooting hookers, they were not using departmental issues.

Charlie, from the description, the girls gave us a shooter as a black.

All right.

So that means Washington.

and any one of 3 ,500 other officers who might have been out taking target packs

in their spare time. Look, Charlie, it's not a cop. It's an imposter.

All right, I'm with you on this. I'm in your camp, but I cannot leave one stone

unturned. All right?

I want you to get that sketch to every divisional captain.

I want to make sure we don't have a witch hunt here.

Devane.

Yeah?

Okay.

Someone to see you.

He says he's got some information about the hunker shootings.

Yeah, yeah, that's her.

Just the way she was described in the papers.

Look, I got a couple of kids, you know. My wife doesn't know about any of this.

Well, Earl, how you decide what you do with your family is your business, okay?

I understand.

Let's talk about the guy who came in the room that night.

The policeman?

Yes. All right. Take a look at him.

No.

Does this guy fit?

Uh -uh.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

What do you think of that?

Yeah.

This guy's a lot closer.

Good.

You and I go down and see the sketch artist.

One out of nine. Roger. You're post seven.

13 -8 -43.

Roger. You're post four.

Six -five -one. Twelve.

at post 4 and 459 there now.

13A46, report your post 6 location.

Cheesy, this guy's playing for keep. Forget about your driver. There's a

out there.

Forget about him?

Look, Donna, I know you want me off the street waiting tables, but my man don't.

And he's got powerful ways of making his point.

You can stay at the center.

It's secure.

We can help you.

Yeah, they got hot and cold running water, too.

Kelly, what are you doing?

Stretching my legs?

Don't worry. I'm not cruising.

Where'd you get this?

I'm helping the police distribute as many as I can.

Geez, does your pimp know there's a killer walking the streets?

All he knows is that there's paying customers out there, and he wants me

bringing him cash.

All right.

I want to talk to him. Honey, you're going to have to take your social work

somewhere else.

So, what do you want?

Oh, I don't know.

Where'd you get the cop shop this morning?

No, I don't know what you're talking about.

You're friends with what's -his -name's partner.

I don't have any friends.

Yeah? Well, a quail like you ain't gonna last very long on the streets without

one.

Who was that?

I don't know.

I thought she was carrying a badge.

What makes you think she isn't?

Cops rehearse their parts.

She didn't even know what I was talking about.

Run away?

I don't know.

Ask that detective we were talking to today.

Hunter? Yeah, he told me that that chick was supposed to be his partner's

friend. I don't... Get off the streets, okay, Kelly?

I am just trying to find Architectural Digest.

No thanks. I don't think it sounds like something I'm too interested in.

So what are we waiting for?

Hey, what's going on?

What's going on?

Get out of here, lady.

Could I see some ID, officer?

Get the hell out of here.

Come on, honey. Let's go.

So after the shot, the girl comes running out screaming.

So I grabbed her. I didn't know whether she was wounded or stoned or just

scared. Did you see the guy who fired the shot?

Well, the girl said it was some cop.

I know, but did you see him?

Oh, man, he didn't come out this way.

And I wasn't going running after him, you know? Okay.

Stick around. I want to talk to you a little bit later on, okay? Yeah, you got

it. Thanks. Appreciate it.

What do we got?

Victim was Donna Carlisle.

What?

What happened?

Intended victim was inside the manager's office. I think you should go talk to

her.

You know, you lied to your mom, your stepdad, you lied to me.

You know, I thought that we were friends, Debbie.

We are.

We are?

I always thought friends were supposed to be completely honest with each other.

Look, whether you like it or not, you're unfortunately involved in a homicide

now. It's somebody that we knew and we worked with out on the streets.

God, I can't believe you're a prostitute.

You've got to be really proud of the way you're making it on your own.

No.

I needed the money. I don't do this all the time.

What the hell does that mean? Is that supposed to make it okay?

Hey, look, I am not pulling a whole lot of heartstrings for you right now.

Please.

You don't understand.

Look.

Take you downtown, print you, photo you just like any girl would pick up off the

streets, get your statement on the shooting, put you on a plane back to

and you can tell anybody anything you want.

Get your stuff together. There'll be somebody down here in a minute to take

downtown.

Well, it's pretty faint, but the serone acrylate has developed something we

might be able to use.

We're lucky we got to this one as soon as we did.

I think two is as many as we're going to get.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Okay.

I'll take them down to the computer, run them through, and see what turns up.

What's the deal?

Well, all we got were a couple of prints.

I'll run them down for you.

That's all right. I'll do it.

No, that's okay. You have to...

Very scared young lady about the vision wants to talk to you

Wanted

to talk I don't want to go home

Look, I couldn't just get up and walk right out of here if I wanted to.

Yeah, I didn't press any charges, if that's what you mean.

But you know what's out there?

A pathological killer that knows that you can identify him. You want to take

that chance?

But what am I supposed to do?

It's been kind of rough these past couple months, you know. You know,

it's really hard for me to understand that you thought that prostitution was

going to help you out of a rough time.

Come on. I thought you were smarter than that.

I want to talk to you.

Why? Do you lie to me again?

You know, I went out on a limb for you because I thought you were worth it.

I'm sorry.

Look, here's a quarter.

Why don't you go call your mom and tell her you're coming home?

There's a phone out by the elevators.

Excuse me.

Homicide and Paul.

Kent, Roy Joseph, 2345 Royal Canyon Road, Los Angeles, California. He comes

the computer as a 647B.

He was the John in the bust.

Prostitution, huh?

Got a good match?

I got a real good match. I'm on my way out there right now.

Listen, put his license plate up on the wire.

2, Paul, Mary, Ocean, 163. It should be a 1984 tan Impala. Okay,

I got it.

I'll get it right out.

Listen, keep Debbie around for a little while. We may have ourselves a little

lineup for her to look at.

Okay, will do.

Need a ride?

No, I'm fine.

Except you need a ride.

It's seen detained and notified Central Division Homicide.

How we doing?

How we doing around the back?

At the back, it's a go.

Okay, we all go on three. Got it? On three.

One, two, three.

Hey, Rick.

Yeah.

You better check it out, man.

You guys are regular police junkie.

McCall. McCall, Hunter.

We get him?

No, we didn't get him. Place is empty. No one's been here. His bed hasn't been

slept in.

We do have ourselves a pretty interesting collection of evidence. You

see this place. It's like a police shrine.

All right, look. Debbie walked out of here maybe 10, 15 minutes ago. I've got

broadcast out on her and Kinson Paula.

I'll be in the office about a half hour. See you then. Bye.

84 Impala, 2 Paul, Mary Ocean, 163. Not at suspect's house.

Look, I won't say anything.

Shut up.

If located, apprehend and notify 1 William, 156.

They've been to my house.

You stay.

What are you doing?

Shut the hell up.

647B. Prostitution.

You pay.

2888. You pay.

785.

You pay.

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about.

Don't do that.

Don't hurt me, please. I won't do it.

I won't say anything.

No, Mr.

Lowe. No, Mr.

Lowe.

I got a call out to Hunter. He'll meet you there. Great, thanks.

I also got two units at Hope and Grant.

Okay, listen, if you hear anything from Debbie, anything at all, you call me and

let me know, okay? Don't you worry. You'll be the first to know.

Stand by, 1L10.

Detective's en route.

Yes, sir.

I'll be right in.

I just have a couple of things to clear up.

Yeah, I know.

Well, we can get the city to get a few more men.

Yes, sir.

We could all use a vacation.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

The Impala's behind the old Division 19 building. We gave it a quick drive -by.

We found this on the seat.

There. We've got Debbie Small.

Has there been any movement?

Got a man staked on each side.

Nobody came and nobody went.

Okay.

Hold your positions.

Call Central and tell them we've got a possible hostage situation.

This guy doesn't keep people alive very long.

We're going in.

There's one atom pen to all units.

Stay in position.

Officers entering building.

I've got other things to do.

Let's get this over with.

Please just let me go.

I'm booking you and printing you and putting you in a hole downstairs.

Please, just let me go.

I won't tell anyone.

That's right.

You respect the badge, lady, and you and me won't have any problems.

Hey, Spence.

How you doing?

It's good to see you back.

Hey, you take care of that arm.

Hope you get back real soon.

You don't get out of here unless a cop says it's all right. Please, I'll do

anything you want. Freeze, kid, please!

What's the matter with you people?

Well, do something!

Freeze right there, Kat.

She's not going to leave here.

I

didn't

tell, I promise.

You don't have to worry, honey. It's all over now. I don't want him to hurt me.

I just don't want him to hurt me.

Who's going to hurt you?

I won't tell.

No one's going to hurt you, Deb.

No, I can't go home. I don't want him to hurt me.

Who's going to hurt you, sweetheart?

My stepfather hurt me, but I won't tell.

How'd it go?

Pretty intense.

My stepfather broke down.

My mom shook a lot.

I just kind of popped.

Do you think you might want to go back with her?

I don't know.

They have a few more sessions scheduled out here.

I guess I got to do those.

Well, yeah, I think it's a good idea to get it all out, you know.

That's what all the shrinks say.

Have you thought about pressing charges?

I don't know.

It all happened when I was a kid, you know, very deep.

Well, if you want to talk, I'm here.

Thanks.

I just wish I could have talked about 10 or 12 years ago.

Yeah, I understand.

We'll see you later.
