Tonight on Hunter.

I saw the murders before they happened.
I have premonitions. I think the

killer's going to strike again tonight.

You think this guy's really got a
pipeline to the future? I can't explain,

think he knows what's going to happen.

How's it?

You weren't going to get the money for
your next dime bag, so you killed her.

That's not the way it went at all. Did
she scream?

I didn't see them. I didn't see them.

Hi. How are you?

Oh, sure. I'll take the flight to St.
Louis. No problem.

What's my turnaround?

Sounds great.

Oh, yeah. The new house is great.

You know, I haven't even had a chance to
unpack yet.

No, I'm going to have a party in a
couple of weeks.

A housewarming. I'll send you an invite.

Okay. Bye -bye.

She took a nasty blow to the backside of
the head.

Figured she died around 9 or 10 o 'clock
last night.

How soon can I get an autopsy report on
her, Barney?

Pretty well backed up.

Probably a day or two.

Yeah, thanks. Appreciate it.

Miss Benson moved in here only last
week.

I met her for the first time yesterday.

She invited me for breakfast.

What time did you come here in the
morning?

9 a .m. sharp.

I rang the bell, but she didn't answer.

I got worried and came around back.

And that's when I found her.

Yeah.

Well, did you hear anything unusual last
night or this morning?

No. Nothing at all.

It's a terrible shame. She seemed like
such a nice neighbor.

Mrs. Shaw, thank you very much. We'll be
in touch.

Anytime, Sergeant.

What'd you get?

Not much. Victim just moved in. She was
an airline pilot.

Boy.

Well. We don't have much to go on. The
work's cut out for us.

Sir, excuse me.

You're going to have to stand behind the
yellow line.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry.

Violence always upsets me.

Sandy was a real inspiration.

She was the youngest woman in our
company's history to make it to the

chair.

She was a role model for me.

She sounds like she was a very special
person.

She was.

I don't understand why someone would
kill her.

Was she having difficulties with anybody
that she knew in her life?

I was one of her best friends. She never
said anything to me.

What about a boyfriend?

She wasn't dating anyone special.

What about problems with co -workers?
Anybody there?

No.

I seem to make friends with everyone.

I just can't believe that anyone who
knew Sandy would ever kill her.

It had to be a stranger.

If you think of anything, anything at
all, please call me at that number, will

you?

It's not fair, Sergeant.

Sandy worked for years to make Captain
and buy a place of her own.

Someone took it all away from her in
just a few seconds.

She deserved better than that.

You see, just what I thought. Barney
ruled out rape.

No, it wasn't robbery.

Maybe it was random.

Yeah, no, I don't think so.

Whoever killed her knew when she'd be
home. I think he was there waiting for

her.

Sergeant Hunter?

Yes. Sergeant McCall?

My name is John Skouros.

Oh, yeah, you were the gentleman at Miss
Spencer's house, weren't you? The lady

who was killed in the pool.

She wasn't the first.

What do you mean she wasn't the first?

Another woman was killed two weeks ago.

Another one a month before that.

Well, do you know who these women are in
other names?

Yes, I have the newspaper stories right
here.

Jane Murphy and Susan Lewis. You can
check it out for yourself.

And I saw it.

You witnessed the actual killings?

Not exactly.

I have... I have premonitions.

I saw the murders before they happened.

So you're saying that one person killed
all these women?

I think that's the case, yes.

Do you know what this person looks like?

Well, all I get are disjointed images.

The victim's face, sometimes an address.

numbers, sometimes a name, maybe a sense
of where it'll happen or some

detail of the killing.

With Miss Spencer, it was water.

I see.

Well, okay.

Thank you. We'll look into it.

I think the killer is going to strike
again tonight.

What makes you think this guy isn't
absolutely bonkers? I mean, I had an

once thought he was Abraham Lincoln.
Well, look, I know it is a long shot,

this guy could be on to something. He
seems sincere enough.

What was it that he said about another
murder?

Oh, he says that the victim will be
female, a strawberry blonde. She's

There's broken glass on the ground.
There's a silver car, and there's a

screen. Something about a readout of
numbers.

Oh, come on.

How are you going to check out something
like that? Well, look, you can't,

obviously, until another murder goes
down. But look, police departments shoot

psychics all the time. Yeah, maybe in
the suburbs of Nepal.

And then if they have a track record,
this guy walked in off the streets. We

don't know him from Adam. Look, unless
Mr. Skouros comes up with some specific

facts, I think the smart thing to do is
cut him loose.

Mr. Skoros, we're going to run the names
of the two girls you told us about, and

we'll keep an eye on things for you.

He doesn't believe me, does he?

Well, it's not that... Okay, I'm used to
it.

I just hope I'm wrong about tonight.

Jane Murphy was killed six weeks ago.

She was on the building site at night.
Someone cut her throat.

What about Susan Lewis?

Two weeks ago, Miss Lewis was doing
electrical work after hours at an

plant.

She was attacked and strangled. No
indication of sexual assault, though.

Let me see the Spencer file.

Yeah, here you go.

Okay, Warren, let's see what we got.
Now, we know Jane Murphy, the structural

engineer, Susan Lewis was a skilled
electrician, and Sandra Spencer here was

airline pilot.

Nothing in common there, is there?

Well, except for one thing.

All the victims were the same age, or
thereabouts.

And they were all quite successful at
doing jobs you'd only associate men

Somebody broke into it?

Yeah, looks that way.

Better call the police.

I'll do it when I get home.

You better not touch anything.

You might destroy the fingerprints of
the person who ripped you off.

I guess you're right.

There's a payphone on the other side of
the tennis courts.

Come on, I'll show you.

Yeah, sure.

What'd they take? Well, the radio in my
purse.

The worst part was that model.

Oh, yeah, I noticed it. What's that
about?

Well, it's my project. I'm an architect.

That was four weeks' work.

Lily Dennison, 32 years old.

Beaten around the face and chest.

Figured she died about 8 .30 last night.

I can tell you more after the autopsy.

She's an architect.

Had her own friend.

Yeah, she did.

Thanks, buddy. Thanks a lot, buddy.

All right. See you later.

All right, Hunter. So she was a
strawberry blonde. The back window of

was smashed. There's your broken glass.

And the car was a silver color, just
like Mr. Skoros said. Yeah, it's because

envisioned it. No, it's because he did
it.

Pick him up.

Look, Mr.

Skoros, you are now a prime suspect in
four homicides.

He's killed again.

It's horrible.

I'd call it one hell of a coincidence.

Now look, Mr. Skoros, where were you
last night between 5 .30 and 7 .30?

I didn't kill her!

Yeah, okay, you didn't kill her, but
where were you last night?

Last night...

I was at my doctor's for my regular
treatment.

I have recurrent migraines. Dr. Bauer is
trying to cure them.

Maybe he can cure this thing inside of
my head while he's at it.

Mr. Skouros, have you ever been treated
for any psychiatric problem?

You think I'm some kind of psychotic
killer, don't you?

Mr. Skouros, we've been sent over here
to arrest you for murder.

I knew I shouldn't have gotten involved.

But you are involved.

And we're going to go by your doctor's
office and talk to him and see how much

you're involved in this. Look, if you
have anything you want to tell us about

these murders, you better speak up and
you better speak up right now.

There is nothing else. Nothing at all.

Okay, if Skouras' doctor confirms the
alibi, I guess I got no problem letting

him off the hook. As you can see, the
doctor did in fact confirm the migraine

headaches as well as the alibi for the
nights of the killings.

Well, I still don't see any connection
between this and the other killings.

just coincidence.

Now, how long did the doctor say he's
been having these episodes? Well,

ever since he fell off the ladder as a
kid.

Oh, he fell off a ladder?

Yeah, since then he's been having
reoccurring migraines and these psychic

episodes.

Hey, that thumbprint under the dash paid
off. It belonged to a Sam Boyce, a

small -timer, doper, specialized in B &E
auto theft.

And possession.

Well, looks like he graduated your
murder. Pick him up.

You can't shoot me. Drop the tree.
You're under arrest.

No way. If you want me, you got to take
me.

I'm telling you, drop the tree.

I'm not going into the slam cold turkey.
Look, you got a deadly weapon in your

hand. Don't do anything stupid with that
or I shoot you.

There you go.

Keep an eye on him.

Turn around.

Be very easy.

Come on.

Run him out.

Put your right hand behind your head.
Come on.

You all right?

Oh, yeah.

We're just fine, aren't we?

So, what's the story?

Well, the cops are breaking into the
car, taking the radio and the purse, but

denies killing Denison.

You're buying that?

Well, that's what the guy's selling.

We've been pushing him pretty hard.

Yeah.

Well, maybe you just weren't pushing
hard enough.

I love it when he does that thing with
his eyebrows.

This will be good.

me to swallow that slop i mean who the
hell are you sit down sit down

all right so

she caught you breaking into her car and
you panicked right i mean what are you

talking about you were all strung out
just like you are now your hands shaking

like a leaf did she scream is that it

You junkies, when they screamed, didn't
it? Maybe she was pulling on your

clothes. Yeah, that's it. There she was,
standing between you and your next fix,

screaming in your face, pulling on your
coat. You weren't going to get that

stereo. You weren't going to get the
money for your next dime bag, so you

her.

That's not the way it went at all. You
tell me how it went then. You just tell

me why.

Why did you kill her over the stereo? I
know you didn't. Just tell me why.

You're not going anywhere until you tell
me, you slimy, punctured little inner

tube. You tell me, how did you kill her?

How?

You think this is going to go away?

How long has it been since your last
fix?

Huh, boys? I got an army of cops
standing out there waiting to come in,

time, and work you over. We're going to
keep you in this room until you shake

yourself to pieces.

You think about that?

It happened just like he said.

She started screaming, and I had to pull
out of my clothes,

and I put my hands around her

neck, and I strangled her.

And I just... I just...

You're

right, he didn't do it. Call the swanny.

Still waiting for yours, Stanley.

Well, I'm almost done.

Something of a chronic condition with
you, isn't it?

Excuse me?

Almost done.

But I'm sure you're pedaling as fast as
you can.

Yeah.

Good.

Sergeant Hunter?

Then Sergeant McCall. Tell her it's
urgent.

No, I need... Tell them to call John
Skouros as soon as... Skouros.

S -K -O -U -R -O -S.

Yes, they have it.

Tell them it's very important, will you
please?

Thank you.

Could you pull all these and... Arlene
Fleischer?

Yeah?

I, uh... You don't know me.

But you're in danger.

Someone wants to kill you.

I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

Security, Arlene Fleischer's off at 12th
floor. Please, don't be afraid. I know

how this looks.

But someone wants to hurt you.

Please leave. I will. I will. But listen
to me.

There is a man. I can't see his face.

But I'm starting to feel him. I'm
starting to think his thoughts. And he

already killed women like you because he
hates you.

You are everything that he is not.

He feels like you have stolen his
identity.

You've got to listen to me.

Please, he's got your name on a list. He
knows everything about you.

Please listen to me.

He's going to kill you.

Can I get you something, John?

Spoke with Arlene Fleischer.

She's not going to press any charges.

John, you're a lucky man to get to go
home.

Guess I made a fool of myself, didn't I?

Well, look, I wouldn't say that. You did
what you thought was right.

That woman's life is in danger.

You watch out for her.

Boy, I feel sorry for that guy. He's got
quite a burden to carry.

So he's making a believer out of you,
huh?

Well, I didn't say that.

Well, you are starting to come around a
little bit, aren't you? Maybe a little

bit.

Well, I just saw you off at the profit
leave, so how are we doing on this

He still thinks that Miss Fleischer is
next.

Well, I'm not convinced that that's
true.

Look, I think this kid can help us. I
can't explain it, but I think he knows

what's going to happen. I also think we
ought to give Arlene Fleischer some

police protection.

What about you, McCall? I mean, you
think this guy's really got a pipeline

the future?

Yeah, I'm beginning to.

All right, all right. You two do
whatever you think is right, but get

results. Right on.

Let's get some results.

Sasha McCall is here.

Bring her in.

The department has its marching orders.

Let's start brainstorming marketing
strategies and meet at the same time

tomorrow.

Thank you for agreeing to see me on such
short notice. Thank you for coming

over. I thought we'd better meet face to
face.

What's this about?

I'm afraid that your life may be in
danger. I think it's very important that

have some police protection.

I thought that man who barged in here
was supposed to be harmless.

Oh, no, it's not him we're worried
about.

You mean you actually believe that crazy
story of his?

Just to be on the safe side, I think
it's a real good idea that we have a

of officers assigned to you for a few
days. I don't need police protection.

I know how to take care of myself.

Miss Fleischer, we think that this man
has already murdered four other women. I

can bet you that they all thought they
could take care of themselves, too.

Okay, Sergeant, maybe you're right.

As long as they don't interfere with my
doing business.

They'll be as unobtrusive as possible.

Sergeant McCall.

Yeah.

Christine Frank, this is Miss Arlene
Fleischer. These are the two officers

will be with you today. Hi. Nice to meet
you.

Hello. I assure you, you're in very good
hands. Thank you.

She has a meeting about three blocks up,
and she has a luncheon meeting over at

the Beverly Hilton.

It shouldn't take more than about an
hour and a half.

Sorry, it wasn't much help at the other
murder sites.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it
doesn't. John, don't worry about it.

being judged here. Your willingness to
do this alone is good enough for me.

Okay. I found Sandra Spencer's body in
that corner floating face up. You don't

have to tell me, Sergeant. I think I
know.

I'm starting to get something.

He waited for her and he watched her
swim.

He liked the way that her body moved

through the water.

He's patient.

very patient, very methodical.

Here.

He stood and he waited and he watched
her here.

Numbers. More numbers.

You think those numbers might be an
address of some sort? Could be.

That tree.

Tree.

Tree, yeah.

Hey, John, you all right?

No, I don't think so. It's not that good
for me to be here. Can we leave? Here,

try that.

Better? Thank you.

Much better now, thanks.

I'm sorry I had to cut it short at the
house.

The impression I got there was very
strong.

How's it going?

Oh, I don't know.

Look, John, you said something at
Sandra's house about a tree.

Yeah.

I didn't mention it before because it
didn't make any sense to me at all.

I thought first yesterday when I met you
in front of Sandra's house.

Today the image stayed longer.

Tell us a little bit about that.

It's a country scene.

The tree on a hill against a beautiful
sky.

Kind of pretty.

Do you think that's where the killer
lives?

I'm not sure.

I wish I could be more help.

Look, John, you're doing fine. All we
need is a place to start, no matter how

vague or small. Now, can you tell us
anything else about the killer?

Well, I have a sense of him.

He's not a very attractive man.

He's kind of thin.

Not very strong at all.

He's shy. He's very shy.

He carries around a lot of pain and
anger.

I guess he's a lot like me.

There you are.

I didn't relish the idea of having to
track you down.

What's the matter?

I just went over these I -5 -2s.

You deleted all the slug lines, Stanley.

What are you thinking?

Even a trainee doesn't make that kind of
mistake.

Maybe it was a computer glitch.

Don't blame the computer.

The only glitch is you.

Miss Farrell.

If you aren't satisfied... Spare me the
song and dance, Stanley.

Here's the drill.

I'm going home now because I don't feel
like babysitting you.

I expect you to go over every single one
of these I -5 -2s and redo it, and I

don't care if it takes you all night.

I will check your work in the morning.

Are we clear on this, Stanley?

Very.

Mr. Skodos. Sergeant McCall, I need to
talk to you.

Something wrong?

Can I ask you a question?

Sure. Why don't you come to my desk?

So what's going on?

Sergeant McCall, the place you live,
it's a house?

Yeah, it's a house.

Wood paneling?

Big fireplace, antique clock on the
wall?

Yeah, that's right.

I had a dream last night.

I dreamed he came after you.

I take this very seriously.

Oh, come off it, Hunter.

Come on, tell me, would you accept
protection on the say -so of this space

cadet? Yeah, I would, but let's not
forget, I don't fit the M .O. the way

does. After all, she is a woman doing a
man's job, and like it or not, that's

this guy's M .O.

Okay, McCall, help us out.

Should I put a car in front of your
house or not?

No.

No, this is not necessary.

I mean, look, okay, I happen to be in
Skoros' dream. That doesn't make me the

guy's next victim.

I mean, I'd like to believe this guy.

He's a nice fella and all, but this is
all just... No, thanks, but no thanks.

Okay, so now we have to prove that all
four of these women were murdered by the

same guy. At least according to
Squirrel.

Look, there's only so many
possibilities.

Let's make a big list, go through it. If
nothing pans out, let's just forget

about the Squirrel's lead, okay?

Sounds good to me.

Hunter and McCall.

Guy called from a finance company about
a car belonging to one of your DBs.

Oh, yeah.

Louie Dennison.

They're pretty eager to get it back.
They said it was brand new.

Yeah, thanks, Tony.

McCall.

Lily Dennison, a new car.

Sandra Spencer, a new house.

What about the others?

Wait a minute.

The electrician purchased a new van.

Darlene Fleischer just bought a new
boat.

Where'd they get the money?

Do you know where Stanley is?

He left just after lunch.

I guess so.

Said he was beat.

Been up all night, I think.

Yes, I know.

Well, he's going to get a nice long
vacation from this job, I can guarantee

And thank you very much for your help.

Yes, bye -bye.

Well, Arlene's gone home, but Sandra
Spencer's loan officer says that for a

loan, they always use express rating.

Established. Listen to this. Lewis,
Murphy, and Denison were all credit

for their loans by the same outfit, a
place called ICRB. I'll call you. Great.

I'll be here in case the express rating
phones.

Captain, tell Hunter if he calls. I have
not heard from Express Rating, so I'm

out of here.

Okay, McCall. Listen, are you sure that
I can't station a black and white

outside your house?

Charlie. Okay.

Okay.

We very often have work farmed to us by
the bigger companies.

Express Rating is one of them.

Murphy, yes.

Lewis,

yes.

Denison, mm -hmm.

Spencer, yes.

And Arlene Fleischer. We've done all
five of these names. Now, who would have

privy to these names?

A woman.

Well... What's that?

Stanley Blake. It's Stanley Blake.

He handled the printouts on all five
names.

And I fired him three hours ago.

Is that right? Now, look, Miss Farrell,
I would like to be able to see Stanley's

computer. I'll take you there. Yeah,
thanks very much.

He just wasn't pulling his weight. I
see.

This was Stanley's station.

Okay, now, is there any way of telling
what he worked on last?

Sure.

There's a resume button.

There you are, Sergeant Hunter.

Miss Farrell, can I use your phone?

Yeah, Hunter, what is it?

Charlie, where's McCall? She went home.

I know who our guy is, and he's got her
address.

Get some backup over there. I'm on my
way. You got it.

Yeah. He's dead. Get an RA unit.

You okay?

Thank you.

No, thank you.

You saved my life.

I'm going to get them while they're hot.

Hey, it looks good.

Look at you. You're doing so much
better. There's only half of them that

burned to a crisp now.

Look, why don't you do the guy a favor
and fix him a good meal? He did save

life. I wanted to.

She did, but this is just what I wanted,
an old -fashioned barbecue.

You know, I don't understand one thing.
If you have this vision of other

people's thoughts, why don't you just go
over to Las Vegas and make yourself a

couple of million bucks?

I wish it worked like that, but it
doesn't.

Well, it's too bad we can't make your
gift work for you.

Gift? Let me tell you something.

If this gift were gone tomorrow, I'd be
the happiest man in the world.

Well, I personally am very glad that you
have it.

Basically, it saved my life.

Well, for once, I'm glad.

But I get sick of other people's
thoughts popping into my head, you know?

Hey, you've spent a lot of time around
us. Do you ever pick up on our thoughts?

Do you ever pick up on what's in our
heads?

What?

Yeah, on occasion, certain images.

What sort of images? Yeah, what's been
in his head?

Well, a couple of times, there's a
woman, a redhead, long hair.

She's wearing a...

Little black. Yeah, look, let's just
forget about her. It's Vicki. Yeah, it's

Vicki and Vice. And she does wear those
little... Yeah, she sure does now. Yeah,

forget about her. What about McCall?
What's she thinking about right now?

Tom Cruise.

Sergeant McCall.

call out.
