JOIN ME NOW IN A MOMENT OF SILENT PRAYER.

I KNOW WHO THE BOMBER IS.

WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE IT WAS MINSKY?

SHE WAS MY FIANCÉE.

OTTO!

YOU FELL FOR IT AGAIN!

RRRRAARR!

I SPENT 8 YEARS THINKING ABOUT YOU,

YOU SELF-RIGHTEOUS PIG.

YOU KNOW WHAT, OTTO? YOU'RE GONNA EVEN DO MORE TIME.

HE BLEW THE D.A.'S OFFICE UP.

GET DOWN!

WORKS FOR ME.

Priest: "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD.

"I SHALL NOT WANT.

"HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES.

"HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS.

"HE RESTORETH MY SOUL.

"HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

"FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.

"YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY

"OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I SHALL FEAR NO EVIL,

"FOR THOU ART WITH ME;

"THY ROD AND THY STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME.

"THOU PREPAREST A TABLE BEFORE ME

"IN THE PRESENCE OF MINE ENEMIES:

"THOU ANOINTEST MY HEAD WITH OIL;

"MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.

"SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME

"ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE:

AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER."

JOIN ME NOW IN A MOMENT OF SILENT PRAYER.

SO WHY BLOW UP AT ME? WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

YOU DON'T REMEMBER, DO YOU?

YOU MADE A PROMISE TO ME, AND BASED ON THAT,

I MADE A PROMISE TO MY MOTHER.

I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE DINNER WITH HER TONIGHT.

SO MAKE IT FOR SOME OTHER NIGHT.

LOOK, I THOUGHT I COULD DO THE STAKEOUT

ON MY OWN.

NOW I REALIZE I CAN'T.

YOU REALLY DON'T REMEMBER, DO YOU?

I CAN'T DO IT SOME OTHER NIGHT.

IT'S HER BIRTHDAY. TONIGHT IS HER BIRTHDAY.

TONIGHT.

TELL HER I SAID CONGRATULATIONS, HUH?

LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING'S HIT THE FAN HERE, HUH?

HEY, HEY. YOU'RE NOT GONNA CHANGE THE SUBJECT

THAT QUICKLY HERE, MY DEAR.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA START WORLD WAR III

BETWEEN ME AND MY MOM

JUST WHEN WE BARELY ACHIEVED A SEC OF PEACE.

LOOK, YOU ARE GOING ON THAT STAKEOUT WITH ME.

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. CAPTAIN'S ORDERS.

WELL, I CAN HANDLE THE CAPTAIN.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT IS IT WITH WOMEN AND THEIR MOTHERS, ANYWAY?

IT WAS A COMMERCIAL EXPLOSIVE.

VERY SERIOUS STUFF. POUND FOR POUND,

THE BEST THING ON THE MARKET.

CAMPBELL.

CAN'T FIGURE IT. IF IT WAS A HIT

ON THE FUNERAL, WHY SO FAR AWAY?

CAPTAIN, THE PRESS BOYS ARE DOWN AT THE FRONT DESK.

CHANNEL 13 IS SETTING UP A MOBILE UNIT

IN THE PARKING LOT.

SUCH A NICE DAY.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA TELL THEM?

WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE?

UH, IT WAS ABOUT

OUR STAKEOUT TONIGHT, CAPTAIN.

I WAS UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING...

JUST DO IT. CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I AM KIND OF BUSY?

WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I SAY?

WE GOT A NEW NUT THAT'S RUNNING AROUND,

BLOWING UP MARBLE ANGELS IN CEMETERIES?

WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT CEMETERY?

ST. ANDREWS. LOOK, HUNTER,

IF THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON BETWEEN YOU AND McCALL,

IT IS BETWEEN YOU AND McCALL, ALL RIGHT?

YOU GOT YOUR ASSIGNMENTS? DISCUSSION ENDED?

YEAH.

WHAT'S THE BODY COUNT BY NOW?

HUNTER, WE'RE NOT THROUGH WITH THIS YET.

YES, WE ARE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL... I'LL JUST DO THE STAKEOUT ALONE.

OH, WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

YOU CAN'T BE GIVING IN THAT EASY.

YOU WON, OK? GO FOR IT.

THEN HOW COME I FEEL LIKE I LOST

JUST 'CAUSE I HELD YOU TO A PROMISE?

I DON'T KNOW.

HUNTER!

HEY, PARNELLI, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

HEY. HELLO? WHERE ARE WE GOING?

HUNTER, YOU'RE ON THIS?

THE BOMB WENT OFF

RIGHT ON TOP OF THOSE 3 COLUMNS, DIDN'T IT?

YEAH. THAT'S THE BLAST CENTER.

THERE WAS AN ANGEL ON TOP OF THOSE COLUMNS.

YEAH, PARTS OF IT ARE SCATTERED

ALL OVER THE YARD, BUT HOW DID YOU KNOW?

HE'S BACK.

WHO'S BACK? MINSKY.

OTTO MINSKY, FROM FLORIDA?

WHAT ABOUT THAT BANK BOMBING IN 1978?

I THOUGHT HE WAS DOING 10 TO 20.

YEAH, WELL, TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN.

WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE IT WAS MINSKY?

BECAUSE I PICKED OUT THIS ANGEL.

IT WAS FOR ZENA.

I'M SO SORRY.

Wyler: NO, I'D BE MORE THAN PLEASED TO,

ON BEHALF OF THE DIVISION.

HA HA HA! WELL, THANK YOU.

BYE-BYE. WHAT?

ABOUT THAT BOMBING?

I TURNED THAT OVER TO LIEUTENANT FINN.

TALK TO HIM.

LIEUTENANT FINN? WHO'S THAT?

LIEUTENANT AMBROSE FINN. WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE HIM.

HE'S UP IN GLEASON'S OLD OFFICE.

STILL HERE?

I'VE HEARD OF HIM.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE TOUGH.

THEY'VE GOT A SAYING ABOUT HIM DOWNTOWN.

IT GOES, UM...

WHY DOES FINN WEAR RED SUSPENDERS?

I GIVE. WHY?

TO HOLD HIS GUNS UP.

OHH, THAT AMBROSE FINN.

HA!

YEAH, I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,

BUT WE'LL DO IT MY WAY, OK?

SORRY ABOUT THE INTERRUPTION.

NOW, WHAT WERE YOU SAYING ABOUT THE BOMBING?

I KNOW WHO THE BOMBER IS...

OTTO MINSKY.

LIEUTENANT, YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF THE BOMBING NOW, RIGHT?

I'M IN CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION, YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

ANYTHING.

SOMETHING TO THROW TO THE WOLVES OUT THERE.

WILL YOU MAKE A STATEMENT?

I'M SURE CAPTAIN WYLER WOULD PREFER

TO TALK TO THE PRESS.

OH, NO, LIEUTENANT. HE SENT ME TO SEE YOU.

WELL, WHAT YOU TELL THEM IS THAT THE DEPARTMENT

CAN'T MAKE ANY KIND OF STATEMENT

THAT WOULD JEOPARDIZE THE INVESTIGATION.

OH, COME ON, LIEUTENANT. THERE'S A PUBLIC OUTCRY

OVER THIS DESECRATION OF GRAVES.

THERE ARE 50 REPORTERS OUT THERE... WITH TV CAMERAS.

AND, HEAVEN HELP US, A CHURCH GROUP.

OK. WHAT ABOUT THIS OTTO MINSKY?

HE'S BEEN BACK IN TOWN FOR 2 WEEKS,

AND HE BLOWS UP THE GRAVE OF ZENA CURTIS.

WHO'S ZENA CURTIS?

SHE WAS MY FIANCÉE.

OH.

UH... HUNTER, I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL,

BUT I NEED SOME FACTS.

HE DID IT. THAT'S A FACT.

HERE'S ANOTHER ONE... FROM FLORIDA.

SOMETHING WE CAN HAND OUT?

Hunter: NO.

I ARRESTED OTTO HERE LOS ANGELES

8 YEARS AGO.

HE HAD A PRIOR IN JACKSONVILLE.

FLORIDA HAD A BETTER CASE ON HIM,

SO WE SENT HIM BACK THERE.

THEY CUT HIM LOOSE 2 WEEKS AGO.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS.

SOME DISC JOCKEY IN JACKSONVILLE

PUT UP SOME SORT OF A FUNDRAISER

TO GET OTTO ON A PLANE BACK TO CALIFORNIA.

AH, FLORIDA'S ANSWER TO CRIME PREVENTION.

I THINK BLOWING UP ZENA'S GRAVE

IS A PERSONAL MESSAGE TO ME.

BUT THE PRESS CAN GET A HOLD OF THIS PERSONAL STUFF,

TURN IT AROUND, MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOUR VENDETTA.

LET 'EM. OK.

TELL THEM WE GOT A STRONG SUSPECT

UNDER INVESTIGATION RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT.

RIGHT.

DOES THAT MEAN WE CAN FOLLOW UP ON THIS?

YOU BET. GO GET HIM.

SAY, HUNTER...

I'VE READ THE REPORTS ON YOU TWO.

I LIKE YOUR STYLE, BUT JUST IN CASE YOU'RE TEMPTED,

NO TECHNICALS ON THIS ONE.

OH, SURE.

Hunter: THAT WAS A TRAIN STATION IN JACKSONVILLE.

THEY WERE LUCKY ON THAT ONE. THERE WAS NOBODY HOME.

WHAT MADE HIM DO IT?

I DON'T KNOW. IT'S JUST WHAT HE DOES.

AT HIS TRIAL, HE CALLED HIMSELF "DEATH".

"DEATH THE AVENGER."

AH-AH-AH-AH-AH. WHAT DO YOU WANT,

OTTO TO COME DOWN AND LET US IN?

WE DON'T HAVE A WARRANT, YOU KNOW.

WELL, IF YOU MAKE THAT PHONE CALL,

WE WON'T HAVE OTTO, EITHER.

I THINK THIS GATE'S A FIRE HAZARD.

IF THERE WAS A FIRE IN HERE,

HOW WOULD THE COPS AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

GET IN THERE?

I GUESS THEY'D JUST HAVE TO FIND A WAY.

YEAH.

I GUESS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIND A WAY.

HEH.

YOU KNOW, McCALL, SOMETIMES YOU ACT

AS IF PICKING LOCKS IS A GOD-GIVEN TALENT.

WELL, WATCH OLD HUNTER, HUH?

THIS'LL HELP.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'RE HILARIOUS.

WHAT ABOUT THE DOG?

WHAT ABOUT WHAT DOG?

[BARKING[

THAT DOG.

RRRRAARR! ARR! ARR ARR ARR ARR!

ARR! ARR!

PATHETIC WATCHDOG.

BYE.

OTTO! OPEN UP!

DON'T MOVE. POLICE.

TURN AROUND.

AAH!

SEEMS LIKE I MISJUDGED YOU.

WELCOME TO L.A., OTTO.

YOU'RE OTTO MINSKY?

WELL, I THINK MR. HUNTER

HAS ALREADY TOLD YOU WHO I AM.

I WANT TO HEAR IT FROM YOU.

OTTO MINSKY.

ALTHOUGH I'M NOT THE SAME OTTO MINSKY

THAT MR. HUNTER USED TO KNOW.

COME OFF IT, OTTO.

YOU'RE STILL THE GODFORSAKEN HUMAN BEING YOU ALWAYS WERE,

AND NO SMART LAWYER WILL EVER CHANGE THAT.

WELL, SPEAKING OF SMART LAWYERS,

SAY HI TO MINE.

BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING, I WANT THESE OFF.

YOU'RE HIS LAWYER?

MY NAME IS TIFFANY REED. I'M STAFF COUNSELOR

FOR THE AMERICAN LEGAL ACTION COMMITTEE.

OFF.

OK, OFFICER.

I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW IT MIGHT FEEL

TO BE WEARING THOSE. I DON'T LIKE IT.

WELL, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO.

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TELL ME WHO YOU WERE

BEFORE I PUT THEM ON YOU?

BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE HOW FAR YOU'D GO...

BOTH OF YOU...

IN VIOLATION OF MR. MINSKY'S CIVIL LIBERTIES.

CIVIL LIBERTIES?! GIVE ME A BREAK.

OH, HASN'T WORD OF THE CONSTITUTION

REACHED THIS LITTLE OUTPOST OF FRONTIER JUSTICE?

WHAT WERE YOU DOING AT HIS APARTMENT?

I GOT A CALL FROM MR. MINSKY

BECAUSE HE HEARD A RADIO REPORT

ABOUT THE BOMBING AT ST. ANDREWS.

HE WAS ALMOST CERTAIN THAT YOU'D COME THERE.

HE WAS QUITE CONVINCED

THAT YOU'D VIOLATE HIS RIGHTS, WHICH YOU DID.

AND BECAUSE OF THOSE VIOLATIONS,

YOU, THE DEPARTMENT, AND THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES

WILL FIND YOURSELVES IN COURT.

OTTO KNOWS I'M A COP. HE SAW ME

THROUGH THE SCREEN DOOR AND TOOK OFF RUNNING.

HE WALKED FROM ONE ROOM INTO THE NEXT.

AND THEN HE JUMPED OUT THE DAMN WINDOW!

VIOLATIONS INCLUDE ILLEGAL ENTRY,

ILLEGAL SEARCH AND SEIZURE, ASSAULT...

WHOA, HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, MISS REED.

THIS WHOLE THING STINKS OF PROVOCATION TO ME,

INCLUDING THE FACT THAT YOU FAILED TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF

TO THE OFFICERS.

NOW, IF SERGEANT HUNTER HERE HAS STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS,

HE'LL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES,

BUT YOU ARE NOT GONNA BE THE JUDGE OF THAT.

I DON'T INTEND TO BE THE JUDGE,

ONLY MR. MINSKY'S LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE

IN A COURT OF LAW...

A COMMODITY IN SHORT SUPPLY, IT SEEMS,

IN THIS DIVISION.

I ASSUME WE'RE FREE TO GO?

YEAH, YOU'RE FREE.

COME ALONG, OTTO.

I'LL BUY YOU A CUP OF COFFEE,

TO MAKE UP FOR THE ONE I SPILLED ON YOUR RUG.

MAKE SURE THEY FIND THEIR WAY OUT.

BUSTING DOWN A DOOR WITH AN A.L.A.C. LAWYER INSIDE?

COME ON, HUNTER.

IT WAS A SET-UP, AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.

OH, YEAH, WE ALL KNOW A LOT.

BUT THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWING AND PROVING.

NEED I REMIND YOU TWO

THAT WE'RE IN THE PROVING BUSINESS HERE?

KNOWING'S FOR WEATHERMEN AND FREAKIN' PSYCHICS.

GET IT IN GEAR, FOR GOD'S SAKE.

COME ON.

I'LL BUY YOU SOME COFFEE.

YOU GUESSED IT.

Waitress: WHAT DO YOU WANT, HUNTER?

2 TEAS.

I'M GONNA GO PAY OTTO A VISIT.

McCall: DON'T TRASH HIM IN HERE, WILL YOU?

IT'LL LOOK BAD IN COURT.

NO, YOU DON'T SCARE ME, HUNTER.

YOU'RE JUST DIGGING YOUR OWN GRAVE.

BAD CHOICE OF WORDS, OTTO.

THAT'S NO GOOD, HUNTER. I WON'T LOSE CONTROL.

I TOLD YOU, I'M A DIFFERENT MAN.

I'M IN CHARGE OF MYSELF. I'VE DONE MY TIME.

YOU KNOW WHAT, OTTO?

YOU'RE GONNA EVEN DO MORE TIME.

UH-UH.

I SPENT 8 YEARS THINKING ABOUT YOU,

YOU SELF-RIGHTEOUS PIG.

YOU SENT ME TO HELL DOWN THERE.

NEVER AGAIN.

NOW I'M BACK. I KNOW MY RIGHTS,

AND YOU CAN'T TOUCH ME.

Reed: WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!

I WAS JUST BUYING OTTO SOME TEA.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT, OTTO?

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF ME.

THIS IS ONE MORE COUNT OF HARASSMENT.

OH, PLEASE, COUNSELOR.

WHEN I DECIDE TO HARASS OTTO,

YOU'LL KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF THE WORD.

WE'LL TALK AGAIN, OTTO, WON'T WE?

YOU OK?

YEAH, THANKS.

8 SURVEILLANCE TEAMS?

THAT'S RIGHT. TRAIL VEHICLES,

SOUND TRUCKS, THE WORKS. 24-HOUR SURVEILLANCE.

HOW DO I JUSTIFY SPENDING THAT KIND OF MONEY

ON YOUR GUT FEELING?

LOOK, LIEUTENANT, HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY

NOT SPENDING IT IF HE STRIKES AGAIN?

AND HE WILL, LIEUTENANT. HE ALWAYS DOES.

YOU SAID 2 WEEKS?

2 WEEKS. YOU GOT ONE.

YOU KNOW, THERE MUST BE ANOTHER WAY

YOU COULD MAKE THIS UP TO YOUR MOTHER.

YOU DON'T KNOW MY MOTHER.

I KNOW YOU... WHICH MEANS

I KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.

HUNTER, HAVE YOU BEEN READING MY BOOKS AGAIN?

UH-OH. CHECK OUT CAMERA 3.

YEAH, I GOT IT NOW, CAMERA 3. THANKS.

OH, WELCOME, LIEUTENANT,

TO THE WIDE WORLD OF SURVEILLANCE.

YEAH, FIELD MARSHAL WYLER'S POPPIN' NUTS

OVER WHAT THIS OPERATION IS COSTING.

HA HA HA HA! WELL, YOU WANT RESULTS,

IT'S GONNA COST YOU MONEY.

FINE. SO SHOW ME RESULTS.

HEY, LOOK, I ONLY WENT

FOR THIS HIGH-TECH, COSTLY STUFF

BECAUSE IT WAS OTTO MINSKY, REMEMBER?

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WENT FOR IT, WHY I GOT THE MONEY UP.

THE CAPTAIN HAD TO GO ALONG WITH IT,

DIDN'T HE?

OH, SURE. YEAH, HE'S GIVING ME A FREE HAND,

BUT NOT BECAUSE HE BELIEVES IN THIS OPERATION.

HA HA! HE SEES THIS CASE AS A CAREER-BUSTER.

DOES THAT MEAN HE WANTS YOU TO BLOW IT?

NO, NO, HE WANTS ME TO SUCCEED.

HE'S A GOOD COP.

BUT IF I DON'T, IT'S MY BUTT IN THE WRINGER AND NOT HIS.

I SENSE SOMETHING PERSONAL.

IT'S PURELY PROFESSIONAL.

ME AND WYLER GO BACK A LONG WAY.

HE NEVER DID BELIEVE IN MY METHODS.

TOO MUCH LIKE YOU, I GUESS.

YEAH. YEAH.

WYLER NEVER WAS A STREET COP.

I GUESS BEING A STREET COP SURE WORKED FOR YOU.

WEREN'T YOU ON THE TOP OF THE LIST 4 WEEKS AGO

FOR PROMOTION TO CAPTAIN?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WYLER'S PUTTING MY METHODS TO THE TEST RIGHT HERE,

WITH MY PROMOTION ON THE LINE.

HE THINKS I GOT MYSELF IN A NO-WIN SITUATION.

I THINK MAYBE HE'S RIGHT.

MAYBE MINSKY'S GOT US ALL ON A JERK LINE

WHILE HE PLAYS AROUND WITH HUNTER'S HEAD.

HA HA! NO, OTTO'S GONNA MAKE HIS MOVE.

I'LL GUARANTEE YOU THAT. I FEEL IT.

YEAH. YOU FEEL IT. I USED TO FEEL IT, TOO,

WHEN I WAS A STREET COP, HUNTER.

BUT A FEW MONTHS AGO, I DECIDED

I WANT TO LEAVE THIS OUTFIT AT LEAST A DEPUTY CHIEF,

SO I STOPPED DEALING IN FEELINGS.

I WANT FACTS, HUNTER. FACTS.

YEAH, HERE'S A FACT FOR YOU...

WHY IS OTTO GOING INTO THAT RESTAURANT?

IT'S LUNCHTIME.

SO WHAT'S HE GOING IN WITH A LUNCH BOX FOR?

CARTER, YOU'RE THE CLOSEST.

GET IN THERE AFTER HIM, HUH?

Carter: ROGER, WILCO.

HE'S GOING INTO THE JOHN.

GUESS EVEN OTTO MINSKY HAS TO TAP A KIDNEY ON OCCASION.

HE'S OUT AGAIN.

Hunter: WHERE'S THE LUNCH BOX?

Carter: NO LUNCH BOX.

HE MUST'VE LEFT IT IN THE JOHN.

JUST LIKE MIAMI.

ALL UNITS, WE'RE GOING IN.

Hunter: HOLD IT, OTTO!

READ HIM HIS RIGHTS.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

IF YOU GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT,

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN...

HUNTER, HUNTER!

WAIT! THEY DON'T NEED YOU IN THERE.

YEAH, BUT I NEED ME IN THERE.

Officer on loudspeaker: PLEASE MOVE BACK.

STAY BEHIND THE YELLOW POLICE LINE.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, WE ASK YOU,

PLEASE STAY BEHIND THE YELLOW POLICE LINE.

USE THE SIDE ESCALATORS...

DID YOU GET IT OUT YET?

MIGHT NOT HAVE TIME.

I WANT TO LOOK INSIDE IT FIRST.

I WOULDN'T STAND THERE IF I WERE YOU, HUNTER.

OK, SIMON. WATCH OUT.

LET ME HAVE YOUR HELMET.

THANKS.

LOOKS LIKE A SANDWICH.

MAYBE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY.

WITH PICKLES?

THAT'S SICK.

IT'S GOT TO BE IN THE THERMOS.

OPEN SESAME.

HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR COFFEE, HUNTER? BLACK?

I DON'T.

WE HAD PROBABLE CAUSE, AND YOU KNOW IT.

THE MAN GOES TO THE BATHROOM AND FORGETS HIS LUNCH BOX.

THAT'S PROBABLE CAUSE?

THE MAN IS A CONVICTED BOMBER.

WE WOULD BE DERELICT IN OUR DUTIES

IF WE DIDN'T KEEP HIM UNDER SURVEILLANCE.

THAT'S RIGHT. HE SET IT UP.

HE SET IT UP? OH, THAT'S A NEW ONE.

WHAT, HE FORCED YOU TO CONDUCT SURVEILLANCE?

TO ASSAULT HIM? TO ARREST HIM ILLEGALLY?

Hunter: THE ANSWER TO THAT IS YES.

HE'S BEEN GASLIGHTING ME

BECAUSE I ARRESTED HIM 8 YEARS AGO.

SERGEANT, DO YOU REALIZE

HOW PARANOID THAT SOUNDS?

I HOPE I'M NOT INTERRUPTING ANYTHING.

JOHNSON, YOU CAN WAIT OUTSIDE.

MR. MINSKY, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT?

WOULD YOU MIND IF I MADE A PHONE CALL FIRST?

I'M KIND OF LATE FOR A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT.

TO CALL YOUR NUT DOCTOR?

NO, HE'S A THERAPIST, NOT A NUT DOCTOR.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO KEEP HIM

FROM CALLING HIS THERAPIST.

ALL RIGHT, THERE'S THE PHONE.

THANKS.

UH-HUH...

AH. IT'S BUSY.

WELL, IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED...

WELL, I GUESS I'M NOT HIS ONLY PATIENT.

OTTO, SIT.

I GUESS WE OUGHT TO THANK YOU, MISS REED,

FOR NOT HAULING US INTO COURT

OVER SERGEANT HUNTER'S LITTLE INDISCRETIONS.

SORRY, I'M LATE. I JUST CAME FROM DOWNTOWN.

MR. MINSKY IS NOT BEING CHARGED AND IS FREE TO GO.

BY THE WAY, LIEUTENANT,

I TOLD THEM YOU WERE DOING A HELL OF A JOB.

THEY'RE GONNA BACK YOU AND HUNTER ALL THE WAY.

THANKS, CAPTAIN.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS DEPARTMENT

RESPECTS THE RIGHTS AND THE PROBLEMS

OF ALL PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE LEGAL PROCESS.

I UNDERSTAND.

SORRY TO BUST IN, CAPTAIN, BUT WE GOT ANOTHER ONE.

WHAT?

THE D.A.'S OFFICE ON TEMPLE.

IT JUST BLEW UP.

WE THINK HE MAY HAVE BEEN IN IT.

SINCE YOU'VE HAD MR. MINSKY

ON 24-HOUR SURVEILLANCE

FOR 4 DAYS NOW,

I DON'T THINK YOU CAN HANG THIS ONE ON HIM.

OH, HUNTER. I THINK, IN MY OWN INTERESTS,

I CAN... I CAN HELP YOU.

I, UH, THINK YOU KNOW THE PLACE.

SAY, AN HOUR?

WHERE IS IT?

WHERE'S WHAT?

The wire.

I DON'T HAVE A WIRE.

OH, HUNTER, COME ON. WHERE IS IT?

SEE FOR YOURSELF.

DON'T ENJOY IT TOO MUCH.

YOU WISH.

YOU'RE GETTIN' LAZY.

YEAH.

OK, LET'S CUT ALL THE NONSENSE.

YOU CAME HERE TO TELL ME SOMETHING. WHAT WAS IT?

YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS, HUNTER?

YOU NEVER LEARNED TO THINK LIKE ME.

AND I'M A RATHER, UM...

WELL, I'M A RATHER SPECIAL PERSON.

WOULDN'T YOU SAY?

I'LL AGREE WITH THAT.

ON THE OTHER HAND,

I DID LEARN TO THINK LIKE YOU.

I THOUGHT AND I THOUGHT

OF HOW YOU HOUNDED ME AND KEPT AFTER ME

AND WOULD EVEN LET ME BREATHE.

I WAS GLAD WHEN YOU FINALLY CAUGHT ME.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TRIAL.

BUT THEN YOU HAD ME SENT TO FLORIDA.

AND THEY LOCKED ME AWAY IN A RURAL PRISON.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS...

A RURAL PRISON IN FLORIDA,

BY A SWAMP? HMM?

TO BE BOXED IN A 3-BY-5 CELL?

TO BE CRAWLING WITH BUGS AND EATEN BY MOSQUITOES?

TO LIE IN BED AT NIGHT AND SWEAT

AND SWEAT AND SWEAT?!

AND WAKE UP SCREAMING?

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT,

I'D WAKE UP SCREAMING YOUR NAME.

YOUR NAME!

YOUR NAME.

WELL, I'M SORRY I MISSED THAT, OTTO,

BUT, UH... WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME

HOW YOU PLANTED THAT BOMB IN THE D.A.'S OFFICE?

THE SAME WAY I PLANTED THE ONE

IN CHESTER A. ARTHUR HIGH.

WELL, I DON'T THINK I'M FAMILIAR WITH THAT.

WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET.

BUT IT WILL.

WHEN THE BELL RINGS AT EXACTLY... 3:00.

THIS BETTER NOT BE ANOTHER FALSE ALARM, OTTO.

BUT, HUNTER, IF IT ISN'T,

THINK OF ALL OF THOSE DREADFUL LITTLE...

LITTLE TEENYBOPPERS. BANG! UP IN SMOKE.

NOW, I ASK YOU, AM I BEING HELPFUL,

OR... OR AM I?

AH! NOW, THIS IS THE HUNTER

I KNOW AND LOVE.

LIAR.

USE NORMAL FIRE DRILL PROCEDURES

TO EVACUATE THE SCHOOL.

WE'LL NEED A BOMB SQUAD DISPOSAL TEAM

AND UNIFORMED BACKUP.

AND PARAMEDICS. SHUT UP!

AND SEND THE PARAMEDICS.

Officer: PLEASE CLEAR THIS AREA IMMEDIATELY

AND STAY BEHIND THE YELLOW TAPE.

KEEP THE ROAD CLEARED FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE USE.

NO ONE IS PERMITTED INSIDE THE BUILDING

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

OH, GOD, DID YOU BUST HIM AGAIN?

THIS TIME, HE ADMITS TO DOING IT.

DOING WHAT? SHUT UP!

YOU STAY HERE.

I'LL KEEP YOU INFORMED...

AS LONG AS WE GOT.

IS EVERYBODY OUT?

WE'VE GOT SOME WACKO KIDS UPSTAIRS

PLAYING HIDE-AND-SEEK. THEY THINK THIS IS A JOKE.

SO DO I.

SHUT UP!

WE'VE GOT 10 MINUTES.

YOU GOTTA USE TEAR GAS

TO GET THESE GUYS OUT OF THERE.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO. GET 'EM OUT.

THIS MUST BE THEM.

COME ON, MOVE IT, GUYS!

THE BOMB SQUAD GUYS ARE STILL UPSTAIRS.

Officer on loudspeaker: STAY BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE.

OW!

GET YOUR MEN OUT OF HERE, SINGER.

OTTO'S GONNA SHOW ME WHERE THE BOMB IS.

AREN'T YOU, OTTO?

BUT HE DOESN'T WANT ANY WITNESSES.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

HUNTER, YOU'RE SO CLEVER.

THIS IS SINGER. I WANT EVERYONE OUT NOW.

CLEAR THE PREMISES NOW.

OK, OTTO, WHERE'S THE BOMB?

IN ONE OF THE LOCKERS?

AH, NOW YOU'RE STARTING TO THINK LIKE ME.

WHAT LOCKER? WHAT'S THE COMBINATION?

COME ON. WHAT LOCKER? WHAT'S THE COMBINATION?

TALK TO ME. 'CAUSE IF YOU DON'T,

WE'RE ALL GONNA GO TO HELL TOGETHER, HUH?

OH, HUNTER, I... I LOVE IT WHEN YOU SWEAR.

I'LL BET YOU DO.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

LET ME CALL MY LAWYER, AND IF SHE SAYS OK,

I'LL... I'LL TELL YOU.

OW!

THE PHONE COMPANY. WRONG NUMBER.

YOU IDIOT.

BUSY.

I GUESS I'M NOT HER ONLY CLIENT.

SORRY, HUNTER, BUT I...

I CAN'T SAY A WORD WITHOUT MY LAWYER.

JEEZ...

THERE NEVER WAS A BOMB, WAS THERE?

THIS WAS ALL A BIG ROUST, WASN'T IT?

WELL, COULD BE.

BUT IF IT ISN'T...

LIKE YOU SAID...

WE'LL GO TO HELL TOGETHER.

SO, THE 3:00 BELL...

THE BOMB GOES OFF, HUH, OTTO?

HUNTER, DO YOU THINK EITHER ONE OF US WILL, UH,

HEAR IT?

I THINK I WILL.

McCALL, I'M COMIN' OUT.

BYE.

HUNTER!

YOU SAID WE'D GO TO HELL TOGETHER!

START WITHOUT ME, OTTO.

YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE!

REALLY? WELL, THE WAY I SEE IT, OTTO,

IT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN STOP THESE BOMBINGS.

HUNTER!

WAIT! ALL RIGHT! I'LL TELL YOU!

YOU DID IT! HA HA!

YOU FELL FOR IT AGAIN!

HA HA HA HA!

HUNTER, I LOVE YOU!

I LOVE YOU!

Otto on tape: THE SAME WAY I PLANTED THE ONE

IN CHESTER A. ARTHUR HIGH.

Hunter on tape: I DON'T THINK I'M FAMILIAR WITH THAT ONE.

WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET.

I DON'T NEED TO HEAR IT ALL AGAIN.

SO, WHAT ABOUT IT, MISS REED?

WELL, YOU REALIZE, OF COURSE, THAT SUCH A TAPE,

MADE WITHOUT MY CLIENT'S KNOWLEDGE OR PERMISSION,

IS INADMISSIBLE AS EVIDENCE IN ANY COURT OF LAW.

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?

LOOK, WHAT YOU'VE GOT THERE IS EVIDENCE OF A HOAX,

NOT A BOMBING.

WHEN THE BOMB WENT OFF IN THE D.A.'S OFFICE,

MY CLIENT WAS WITH YOU, HERE.

AND WHEN THE COURTHOUSE IN VAN NUYS GOT HIT,

HE WAS WITH YOU AGAIN, IN THE HIGH SCHOOL.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

THAT D.A.'S THE ONE THAT SENT OTTO TO FLORIDA.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

AND THE JUDGE... THE ONE FROM VAN NUYS...

HE'S THE ONE THAT PRESIDED OVER OTTO'S CASE.

NOW YOU TELL ME, MISS REED,

HOW DOES HE DO IT WITHOUT A TIMING DEVICE?

I DON'T KNOW.

SERGEANT HUNTER,

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO BE IN ONE HOUR?

WHERE DO YOU WANT ME TO BE?

THAT COFFEE SHOP ACROSS THE STREET?

I'LL BE THERE.

I'LL BE THERE, TOO.

GUESS I'LL HAVE TO CALL MY MOTHER,

TELL HER I'LL BE LATE AGAIN.

HEH.

NAH, I'M LETTIN' YOU OFF THE HOOK THIS TIME.

I'LL TAKE THIS ONE ALL BY MYSELF.

THIS IS VERY HARD FOR ME, BUT I...

I'VE BEEN DOING MY JOB. THAT'S ALL. THE LAW.

THE LETTER OF THE LAW?

YES, BUT THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVED IN...

ALL MY LIFE... THAT THE LAW TOOK PRECEDENCE

OVER ANY INDIVIDUAL CASE.

BUT NOW I BELIEVE THAT THE MAN

I'VE SWORN TO DEFEND IS GUILTY,

AND THAT IF I CONTINUE TO DEFEND HIM,

HE MAY KILL AGAIN.

YES, HE WILL.

SO, WHAT CAN I DO?

STAND BY, LET IT HAPPEN? I MEAN, THAT'S NOT RATIONAL.

AND IF THE LAW ISN'T RATIONAL,

THEN MY WHOLE LIFE DOESN'T WORK.

SO...

SINCE YOU SAW ME LAST, SERGEANT,

I'VE RESIGNED MY POSITION

WITH THE AMERICAN LEGAL ACTION COMMITTEE.

I AM NO LONGER ANYONE'S ATTORNEY...

AND I NEVER WILL BE.

THAT'S A LITTLE RASH, ISN'T IT, MISS REED?

LOOK, I'M... I'M SORRY,

BUT IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES

TO GET TO THE TRUTH ABOUT OTTO, THEN...

IT'S WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO ME

BEFORE I COULD TELL YOU THIS.

ONCE, WHEN I WAS IN OTTO'S APARTMENT,

I WENT TO MAKE A PHONE CALL.

I HAPPENED TO LOOK AT THE PHONE BOOK.

IT WAS OPENED TO THE YELLOW PAGES

BEFORE I DIALED.

THERE WAS AN ADVERTISEMENT THERE

CIRCLED WITH A MARKER PEN.

THAT WOULD'VE MEANT NOTHING, OF COURSE,

BUT OTTO LEAPED UP

AND SNATCHED THE PHONE BOOK AWAY FROM ME.

HIS BEHAVIOR WAS SO STRANGE.

WELL...

I REMEMBERED THE AD, THE NAME OF THE COMPANY.

I'VE WRITTEN IT HERE.

IT MAY EXPLAIN, AT LEAST,

HOW HE'S PUTTING THE BOMBS IN PLACE.

I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION.

THOUGH, I, UH...

I KNOW WHAT YOU MUST'VE GONE THROUGH

TO GET TO THIS POINT.

I DOUBT IF ANYONE COULD.

Woman: NO OTTO MINSKY.

RIGHT, 42, WILSHIRE AND LARCHMONT.

OK, HOW ABOUT A DELIVERY TO ST. ANDREWS CEMETERY

ON THE 11th?

NO ST. ANDREWS CEMETERY ON THE 11th.

HOW ABOUT A DELIVERY TO...

WRONG, 21, BEHIND THE PIZZA PARLOR.

HOW ABOUT A DELIVERY

TO DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALAN WERTHEIMER

ON TEMPLE STREET?

YEP, WE DELIVERED A PACKAGE TO HIM

ON THE 17th. YEAH?

CAN YOU CROSS-REFERENCE AND SEE WHO SENT IT?

MM-HMM.

RIGHT, 83. REPORT BACK HERE.

YOU'RE IN DEEP TROUBLE.

PAY DIRT.

DEE DEE McCALL? WHAT'S THAT?

WE JUST DELIVERED THAT ONE.

SEND BOMB DISPOSAL UNIT AND THE PARAMEDICS. L-56 OUT.

WELL, SINCE MY LAWYER QUIT ME, I'M ENTITLED TO ONE MORE CALL.

LET HIM USE THE PAYPHONE DOWN THE HALL.

UH, EXCUSE ME. I'LL NEED A QUARTER.

GIVE HIM A QUARTER.

HELLO? HI, MOM.

YES, I DO PLAN ON COMING TONIGHT.

YES, I DO KNOW THAT I MISSED YOUR BIRTHDAY,

BUT TONIGHT IS...

OK, WOULD YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME FOR SECOND, MOM?

OK, LISTEN, I PUT A MESSAGE ON YOUR TAPE MACHINE.

I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO BE A LITTLE LATE.

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT CANCELING.

IT'S BUSY.

WELL, IF YOU DON'T SUCCEED...

I KNOW THAT, MOM.

OK, MOM, WILL YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME?

WHEN YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME,

IT'S DEMEANING TO ME AS A PERSON.

THIS IS ME TALKING, NOT MY THERAPIST.

WELL, I DIDN'T START IT.

WHAT UNCARING PEOPLE!

TYING UP THE LINES LIKE THAT. UNBELIEVABLE!

OK, LOOK... WHY DON'T I JUST HANG UP

AND WE'LL GET INTO THIS ANOTHER TIME, OK?

I'M SORRY, TOO, MOM.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO PLEASE YOU.

DEE DEE, LET ME IN!

YEAH, WAIT A MINUTE. JUST A MINUTE!

IT'S ME... HUNTER! LET ME IN!

MOM? GREAT.

WHY AREN'T YOU WITH YOUR MOTHER?

WHAT'S WITH THE CAPTAIN?

HE WAS JUST TELLING THE PRESS

HOW IT FELT TO CAPTURE THE JACKSONVILLE BOMBER.

HA HA HA!

BY THE WAY, HOW DID IT FEEL?

GOOD. IT FELT GOOD.

AND THANK YOU. THAT WAS GOOD WORK.

LISTEN, THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HELP.

I'M ON MY WAY DOWN NOW TO SEE OTTO.

CATCH YOU LATER.

I WON'T BE LONG.

NO HURRY. HE'S GOT THE TIME.

I KNEW YOU'D COME.

YOU'RE GONNA MISS ME, HUNTER.

YEAH, SURE, OTTO. JUST LIKE YOU'LL MISS ME.

YES. WE DO THINK ALIKE.

BUT IT'S NOT REALLY LONELY IN PRISON.

ON THE CONTRARY... YOU'RE NEVER ALONE.

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE TALKING OR LISTENING.

SUCKING AWAY THE AIR...

THE VERY BREATH OUT OF YOU.

THIS TIME YOU WON'T SEND ME TO FLORIDA.

NO, OTTO. WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEND YOU

TO FLORIDA THIS TIME.

I CAME DOWN HERE TO TELL YOU PERSONALLY

THAT I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING I POSSIBLY CAN

TO GET YOU PUT IN

THE CALIFORNIA STATE GAS CHAMBER.

HUNTER! HUNTER!

HUNTER!
