All language subtitles for Hunter S06E08 Shield of Honor1

Tonight on Hunter.

Jack, here's going to be your detective
trainee.

Welcome aboard.

Thanks.

Good work.

I asked for you two to be his training
officers because I knew that you would

fair. We'll shoot right down the center.

If he gives you top marks, it'll impress
the higher -ups. Don't worry about it.

I'll score.

It's clean.

You leave Darnell alone!

Drop the gun, cop!

You're not going to make it out of here
alive. Don't leave Darnell!

We'll give you guys any trouble. Stay
cool.

Shut up! I give the orders.

Now take out your piece.

Put it in the ground.

Easy.

Kick it away.

Good.

Now give me the money.

What should I do with him, huh?

Let him go, man. Come on. Leave him
alone. Come on.

It was your lucky day, Pop.

How much money was Mr. Flanders
carrying?

I know exactly how much. It's what we
paid out yesterday. It's $56 ,000.

$56 ,000? Why didn't he use an armored
car service?

The profit margin at an operation like
this is slim.

I guess Mr. Flanders didn't want the
overhead.

Yeah.

Okay, thanks for your help.

We'll be in touch.

I see. Now, uh...

How often would they make a bank run?

Every day.

Mr. Flanders usually handled it.

I must have told him a hundred times to
be more careful that he wouldn't listen.

How's that?

You never know when somebody's clocking
you.

When I brought in the cash, I always
varied the route and the time of day.

Mr. Flanders didn't do that?

He'd be at the bank when it opened and
arrive here 20 minutes later.

He could set your watch by him.

Apparently somebody did.

Hey, Hunter.

Come here a sec.

You want to see me, kid? Hey, somebody
you might know.

Jack, Ryan, how the hell you been?
Great.

How's your family?

Fine. My dad said to say hi.

You know, Wild Bill O 'Ryan... was my T
.O. when I first made detectives. Well,

now you can return the favor.

Jack, here's gonna be your detective
trainee.

I wanted to join you and McCall on that,
uh, check -cashing 211 homicide that

went down this morning.

You passed your D -1, huh?

Yeah, last month.

Passed with flying colors. Look at that.

Fantastic. Good to see you here.

Okay, graduated from the academy.

Top marks. Well, you knew that.

Worked in narcotics, bookmaking, found
thin vice, huh?

Backed up a great record with
surveillance unit, Jack. Very

Now, does McCall know that he'll be
working with us? Oh, yeah, sure.

Fantastic. Well, welcome aboard.

Thanks. You'll probably want to see the
Flanders file. Yeah.

So, you got anything new on this?

Well, uh, no. No movement as of yet. You
know, I'm kind of concerned about this.

I think we got a real nutcase on our
hands.

Well, let's get on it, huh?

Get busy.

I'm sorry, sir. I'm going to need
another piece of ID.

What's the matter with my life? I'm not
good enough?

I need two IDs with your current
address.

A check for only 25 bucks. What's the
big deal?

I'm sorry, sir. There's nothing I can
do.

Yeah, well, I want to talk to the
manager.

He'll only tell you the same thing. I
don't care. I want to hear it for

Go get him.

Sorry, can't help you. Need the proper
ID.

Thanks a lot, pal.

Father management.

Some dork in a 50 cent tie.

I'll give him a new one in the morning.
Hey, man, no killing this time.

You worry too much, man.

Good morning. How you doing?

Fine, nice outfit. Thank you. You're in
here early.

Yep. Did you get any sleep last night?

Nope.

Was this, um, Angelita?

Yes, it was. The flamingo girl?

Yes, it was.

Yeah, yeah.

Listen, let me get you a date with this
guy. Don't do me any favors. Come on,

I'll make you some coffee.

Uh, haven't you two cracked this one
yet?

Commander, how are you? I'm fine. Nice
to see you again. McCall.

Jack tells me that you are working on a
pretty hot one. Yep, real hot. Take a

look at that.

Bad -looking crowd.

Has Jack been helping you with this?
Yeah, he is. He's pretty good, too.

Well, you know, I asked for you two to
be his training officers because I knew

that you would be fair and not give him
any slack just because I'm his father.

We'll shoot right down the center.
Thanks, I counted on that.

Anyway, the kid's sharp and he's got a
lot of potential.

We'll see.

Thanks. Anyway, good luck with the case.
Thanks for coming down. See you later.

Bye. I like the commander. It's good to
see him, isn't it? Yes, it is. He's a

good man.

You know, I could tell you stories about
him in a currier air.

Think his son is like him?

Yeah. Chip off the old block.

I hope he works out. I like him, too. So
do I. Tell me, what do you have here?

Oh.

Number one.

John Leander.

Serving time in Attica for robbery,
assault, a deadly weapon.

Presently serving a life sentence in
Mississippi State Penitentiary.

No. Here's the one I want to set you up
with.

Don't do me any favors. Otis Smith.

Wanted in five states for robbery and
murder. All convenience stores.

Up and down the Pacific coast. But here.

Here's the real interesting one.

Darnell Nickens. Presently on parole in
Los Angeles. Serving time for murder and

robbery. Twelve counts of assault.

Now look at the weapons of choice.

Pump shotgun.

That's real interesting, isn't it? Yeah.

Homicide. McCall.

Thanks. We'll be right there.

Another check -cashing robbery. Shooting
involved.

Quangan near Beverly.

What do you got?

Victim was Juan Martinez.

He owned the place. Got hit coming back
from the bank.

12 gauge, double aught. Any witnesses?

A woman inside heard the shots and saw a
dark van take off.

Didn't catch the plate number, but she
did see two men.

Was it more than one of them? Yeah, but
she never saw their faces.

Okay, thank you. I'll need your notes
before you go. Okay.

Facing on the pellets, I'd say the
shooter could have been more than seven

eight feet away.

By the looks of it, it could have been a
thought -off shotgun.

I'd say he was standing right about
there.

And the victim reached in, turned to
face the shooter, and the blast blew him

out of the doorway.

Sounds about right.

Let's have a look at the body.

about how close that shooter was.

Check out the powder mark.

I heard that Jack lost it today.

Oh, he looked like he was chummering
from the back end of a half -day boat.

How's he feeling now? Well, he's a
little embarrassed, you know. I told him

did the same thing.

You did?

No, I didn't.

How are things going with Hunter and
McCall?

I guess you heard, huh?

Well, it's a small world being a cop.

It could have happened to anyone.

I know that.

Only you're not just anyone. You
understand?

You're Jack Ryan.

And you're in training to be a
detective.

Which means... Everyone is going to be
watching you from now on. I know that. I

understand all that.

You know, the department is full of
bright and aggressive guys.

Only the best make it in the ranks.

You've got to outscore them.

You know, don't think because you're my
son you're a shoo -in. Dad, I never used

our relationship to promote myself.

I've always made it on my own merits.

Which is why I put you with Hunter.

He's tough, and if he gives you top
marks, it'll impress the higher -ups.

Believe me, it counts. Everything
counts. Don't worry about it. I'll

I know my stuff.

I'm as good a cop as anyone on the
force.

No more cop talk, please.

I'm sorry if I sounded like I was
getting on your case.

You're a champ.

You're going to do great.

Don't you have time for a swim?

Not right now, Mom.

Well, please stay for lunch. I got to
get back to work.

I'll see you later.

Jack, give him hell.

Stop pushing him so hard.

I was just giving him a little advice.

That was more than advice, and you know
it. Linda.

When are you going to learn he's not
Billy?

Ray, where's Captain Devin?

Well, he was headed for the motor pool,
but it's lunchtime. He might try the

lunchroom first.

Lunchroom? He's on a diet, isn't he?

Captain?

What are you doing?

I'm having lunch.

I thought you were on a diet.

I am on a diet.

Yeah, you know, I'll tell you something.
I have lost four and a half, actually,

four pounds and nine ounces in the last
two and a half months. Well, it's

actually 11 weeks. Dead food.

Nutritionally, it's not dead. This is 70
% oat bran. They could feed this to...

What have we got on the Nickens case?

Look, I talked with Dwight Linderman,
Nickens' parole officer.

He says if, in fact, Nickens is our boy,
we've got a real problem on our hands.

Seems he likes to drive around in his
pickup truck with a shotgun to the front

seat.

What's his specialty?

Petty theft, assault, 12 counts.

Nice. Sounds like a lovely fellow.

What's he got to do with our problem?

I don't know as of yet. I do know
there's a possibility he may be working

somebody else. Hey, Jack.

Captain, just got off the phone with
prison officials from Vacaville.

I found out when Nickens served time
there, his cellmate was a guy named

Stark.

He served four years at Attica for 211s.

Stark's specialty was knocking off check
-cashing shops.

Nice work, Jack. That makes a connection
for me, huh?

Yeah. Now, do we have an address on
Nickens at all?

Yeah. He still lives with his mother.
Supposed to be a real mama's boy.

All right. Well, let's get rolling on
this.

Yeah, let's buy the call.

Police, open up.

What do you want?

Looking for Darnell Nickens. We have a
warrant to search your premises.

Go to hell.

We do have a warrant, ma 'am.

You guys are so dumb. Why are you always
picking on Darnell? You got no right

sticking your nose in here.

When's the last time you saw Darnell?
Not for a couple of weeks. You know he

better things to do than hang around
here.

Yes, ma 'am.

If he had any brains, he'd go after real
criminals instead of picking on...

innocent people like Darnell.

Darnell could really make something of
himself if you pigs would stop screwing

up his life and leave him alone.

Yes, ma 'am.

Backyard's clean. There's nobody out
there.

Idiots. I told you he wasn't here.

Miss Nickens, thank you for your time.
You can go.

If you see Darnell, tell him I'd like to
talk with him.

I wouldn't tell him squat if it came
from you.

Yes, ma 'am. Thank you.

Oh, and tell Robert Stark I said hello.

Get out of my house right now. Get out
right now. Get out!

Okay. Thank you for your help.

Yes, we'll be in touch.

We have put a bulletin out to every
check -cashing shop in Los Angeles.

Zip. It's like Nickens and Stark have
disappeared off the face of the earth.

Maybe they left the area.

I don't know.

We're betting on the fact that Mrs.
Nickens is probably lying through her

He's got to show up at her house sooner
or later.

We got that covered?

Yeah. Hunter and Jack are on the day
shift.

All right. Well, let me know if anything
breaks.

Will do.

Looks like we got something here.

Nickens even has flowers for his mom.

He's a good son.

William 56.

Two possible 187 suspects at my Code 5
location.

Request backup.

Code 2.

Roger, William 56.

Ah!

Darn it! What are you doing here?

I invited to you, huh? Oh, darn it. I
brought you a present. Oh.

From my best girl.

Oh, Darnell, you're beautiful.

You shouldn't do that, but thank you.

You're such a pussycat.

Oh, the cops were here, Darnell.

Hey, let's get out of here.

Did they give you any trouble?

They pushed me around. You know how cops
are.

Come on, let's split.

Are you okay?

I'll be all right.

Don't worry, Ma.

Okay? I'll be back.

Darnell. I love you, Ma.

You better go.

They're leaving.

What about backup?

William 56 and 187 suspects are
rabbiting.

We're going in.

1 out of 27.

187 suspects are leaving code 5
location. What is your ETA?

1 out of 27.

ETA approximately 3 minutes.

Freeze! Police!

Get away from the car!

Out in the middle of the lawn!

Clasp your hands behind your head! Turn
around!

Up to your knees.

Cross your leg.

All right, go ahead. I got him.

Hey, you the one who pushed my mom?

Shut up.

Yeah, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You do it again and I'll kill you.

Yeah, right.

He's clean.

Hook him up.

You leave Darnell alone.

Don't even think about it.

Drop the gun, cop.

That's not going to happen, Nickens.
Shoot him, Darnell.

Shut up, Mrs. Nickens, and sit on the
porch. And you don't tell her what to

You're not going to make it out of here
alive if I just drop the gun. No.

Charlie? I'm in there.

I understand that you gave Jack the day
off. Is there any particular reason for

that? Well... There was a little trouble
in the field. We thought maybe he could

use the time to get himself back
together.

Well, he doesn't need it. He should be
here doing his job.

Now, you mean to tell me that a guy
makes a little mistake and you bench

Well, Commander, it was more than just a
little mistake.

Oh, come on. Are you telling me that you
never messed up?

Of course I am. Of course.

We've all made errors.

The kid's still a trainee. He's still
learning.

Look, I'm with you 100 % on this.

I really am, but maybe it could be that
Jack's just not quite ready for central

detectives yet. That's ridiculous.

He's as ready as anyone I know.

His record is flawless.

The record's one thing.

The streets are something else. You know
that.

Maybe he just needs a little more
seasoning.

You know, Jack's had some of the
toughest assignments in this city, and

aced all of them.

He's a good cop, and I want him in
central.

Hey, John.

Hey, Hunter. How you doing?

What's happening, brother?

Hey, listen.

I want to ask you a couple of questions
about Jack Ryan.

Well, get me in trouble, will they? No,
no, no, no, no. You were a partner with

him for a while, weren't you? That's
right.

Well,

how was it? How did he do? He was fine.

I wrote his evaluation.

Find it in his jacket.

I read the jacket.

I'd like to know what you didn't put in
that report.

Look, I'm partnering with the kid right
now. There's a couple things that bother

me.

Like a problem?

Sure.

Well, I told you it wasn't going to be
easy out there.

Everything you do counts for you or
counts against you. I understand all

I don't know what went wrong.

I should have found that gun.

Yeah, well, that's all water under the
bridge.

I went to bat for you with Hunter and
Devane.

Dad. Just don't let me down.

I won't, don't worry.

You know, your mother seems to think
that I'm being a little hard on you. You

know, maybe I'm pushing you to be a cop
down your throat. Hey, it was my idea to

join the department, not yours.
Remember?

Yeah, I know, I know.

I just want to make sure that you're
happy doing what you do.

Hey, you know what makes no difference
to me? If you don't want to be a cop,

just say so.

Are you kidding?

That's all I ever wanted to be.

You're sure about that?

I'm positive.

It doesn't have anything to do with
Billy, does it? No, no, no.

I didn't tell you this at the time, but
I wanted to be a cop long before Billy

was killed.

Look, it... It'll be okay, all right?
It's gonna turn around.

You'll see.

Things are going to be a lot better.

One more job, then we split.

We're sitting ducks in this town, man.
We should get out now.

Hey, we ain't running from no one.

This ain't no vending machine rap.

In California, people get the gas
chamber for blowing people away.

And we ain't going to get caught.

One last tip, and we are in Mexico City,
huh?

Live like king.

You're going to bring your mommy along,
too?

Watch it.

You got fried eggs for brains?

You cannot keep killing people and get
away with it.

No, man.

No! You know what I think?

I think maybe you don't have the guts
for it. There's no sense in wasting

people. What do you care, man?

They're just geeks.

Cardboard geeks.

Ain't no one cares if they live or die,
man.

Why should you?

What are you doing here?

I heard this was a hangout of yours.

Oh, you did, huh?

What, have you been going to school on
me or something?

I've been doing some checking up on you,
Jack. No thanks.

This morning isn't the first time that
happened to you, is it?

Look, I've never missed a gun during a
frisk. That's not what I'm talking

Jack. It's your behavior. You seem to
freeze up under stressful situations.

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

It's happened before, hasn't it?

That's bull!

If I freeze up, how come it's not on my
record, huh?

Because your superiors give you top
marks to get you out of their divisions

they don't have to monkey around with
your father.

You really have to do a hatchet job.

You know that's not true, Jack.

I can handle this job as well as anyone,
and you know it.

If I thought that, I wouldn't be here.

Fine, fine.

If you've got doubts about me, put it in
my record. Otherwise, back off and let

me do my job!

Just got a message from Stevenson check
cashing over on Pico. The manager ID'd

Stark off of our bullets and said that
he was casing the place out right before

it closed.

Good.

I'm sure he's not alone.

When Henderson comes back from making
his bank run, he will be traveling north

on Desmond Boulevard.

He will make a right -hand turn into the
alley.

just left of Stevenson's check -cashing
store. He goes all the way to the end of

the alley before he makes the left -hand
turn, gets out of the car, goes into

the back of the building.

Green and Henderson, you're the only
ones in the store, right? Right. Now,

McCall and I will be on the outside
covering the rear entrance, along with

everybody else.

Now, Mulvihill, Davis, you're on each
side of the alleyway up on the roof, is

that correct?

Okay. Now, we'll keep the front of the
store clear, all except for our

surveillance vehicle here.

Jack, that's where you're going to be.

Now, we can expect our bad guys between
9 and 11 o 'clock in the morning. We

should be there set up, ready to go by 7
.30.

Any questions?

Good luck.

Take a look at your desk.

Yeah, I don't think Jack liked the idea
of being surveillance.

Nope. I think it's the safest place for
him. And for us.

Why don't you go take care of it now,
huh? Get it over with.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Thanks, Hunter.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I'm in front and all the action's going
to be in back.

That's right, Jack.

You afraid I'll screw up?

Look, I need a surveillance man, you're
it.

You can't do this to me.

You know I'm better than that.

That's a matter of opinion now, isn't
it?

Can't you just forget what happened this
morning?

Look, everybody makes mistakes.

I make them. But not like that.

Those types of mistakes get people
killed.

I need a surveillance man and you're it.

Wasn't I told about this?

I'm his mother. I have a right to know.

Honey, the whole thing was blown out of
proportion.

It wasn't as bad as it sounds.

He was shot at, wasn't he? Well, he's a
cop. It happens.

Oh, Bill, talk to me.

I can't. The chief is expecting me in 45
minutes.

I don't give a damn about the chief.
Yeah, well, it just so happens that I

to.

You're putting too much pressure on
Jack. You can't force him to be

he's not.

Honey, listen. I had a talk with Jack
and I even gave him an out. He said he

wants to be a cop. Well, what do you
expect?

He's afraid to tell you the truth
because of what might happen.

You've manipulated him so much he
doesn't know what he wants.

I don't want to lose another son.

I can't go through something like that.

I don't think you can either.

Gotta go.

Stop running away from me. I'm not
running away. I'm just going to do my

and I wish I'd let Jack do it.

Hunter

Homicide.

Hi.

Yeah, I know where it's at.

Sure, I can meet you there in about 20
minutes or so.

Yeah.

See you there.

Hi, Linda.

Good to see you. Oh, thanks for coming.
You're welcome. What's going on?

It's about Bill.

What about Bill?

Could we go inside?

Yes.

No, we're clear in front of the
building.

Wait one.

Henderson. Robert, your location in ten
seconds.

Copy that, Green.

Copy that, and I'm ready.

Henderson's in place.

I don't know if these guys are going to
show or not.

They'll show. Just give them time.

I have inside two men in a light
-colored station wagon.

Make a U.

What? Changed my mind, man. We're going
in the front.

I'm sick of alleys.

They made a U -turn and stopped in
front.

All right, everybody hold your
positions. You got that?

Jack, hold your position. Repeat, hold
your position until we get around to the

front.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH

I could stop him. That's your problem.
Don't.

What's this all about?

Jack disobeyed direct orders, nearly got
himself and a fellow officer killed.

Oh, no, no, no. Jack doesn't make those
kind of mistakes. Yes, he does, and you

know it.

What do you mean?

I talked with Linda last night.

She told me everything.

Now, what the hell are you talking
about?

When Billy was killed, you went into a
deep, deep depression.

You were devastated.

You took a leave of absence.

Yeah, well, so what? I had a wife and
family to take care of.

Bill, you had a nervous breakdown.

Wait a minute. Linda told you? She loves
you very much, Bill. She had no right

to do that.

What else does she tell you?

The thing that pulls you out of that
depression is when Jack came to you one

and said he wanted to become a police
officer, just like Billy.

The only reason Jack said that was to
give you hope to get your love.

Jack just took off.

I have an idea. I know where he's going.

Wait a minute. I'm coming with you.

What do you think?

Police.

You have no right coming in here like
that. Who do you think you are?

You going somewhere?

I'm taking a big take. You can't come in
here like this. What gives you the

right? Where's your son?

I don't know where he is and you get the
hell out of here.

Man, we just keep bumping into each
other all over the place, huh?

Why don't you move over there?

Now!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

That's about it.

Push me, Darnell.

Yeah.

Get his gun, Ma.

Put it on the floor in front of him.

Go for it, man.

Yeah, yeah, that's it.

Go for it.

You're just a little whipped puppy dog
now, aren't you?

You shouldn't have pushed my mother
around.

What

should

I do with him, Ma?

Kill him.

Okay.

That's what you want?

That's what I want.

Good night, cop.

Darnell, there's somebody out there.

You all right, Jack?

Yeah.

Well, you saved my life again today,
son.

I'm sorry for all I put you through,
son.

I'm sorry for all I put us through.

The day Billy died, I made a very big
mistake.

I know.

I've never seen myself as clearly as I
have today.

Keep it.
