All language subtitles for Hunter S02E05 - Killer in a Halloween Mask

MY TOOTH IS KILLING ME!,

YOU'RE GONNA BE
TECHNICAL ADVISORS

ON STREET HEAT.
THAT'S A TELEVISION SHOW.

HOLD IT!

CUT. PRINT IT.

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST
HOLLYWOOD WRAP PARTY.

HE'S RUNNING AROUND THIS TOWN
DISFIGURING PEOPLE WITH ACID.

SECURE ALL THE GATES.

I WANT YOU BOTH TO DO
SOMETHING SAFE AND QUIET.

CAPTAIN SAID YOU WERE
INTERESTED IN REALITY.

I WOULDN'T LOSE
MY HEAD OVER THIS.

IT WORKS FOR ME.

WHAT ABOUT
MY TOOTH, HUNTER?

HUNTER, IT'S KILLING ME!

THIS TOOTH IS
DRIVING ME NUTS!

YEAH, WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE
THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, JESSE,

BEFORE YOU KNOCKED OUT
THE DENTIST.

MAN, THE DUDE WAS COMING
AT ME WITH A NEEDLE.

YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL
ABOUT NEEDLES.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW,

NORMALLY I'M A VERY MEEK
INDIVIDUAL.

RIGHT.
YOU COLLECT CHINA

AND YOU PAINT LITTLE
BUNNIES ON EGGSHELLS.

I HAVE TO LISTEN
TO THIS?

BOOK THIS GUY ON
ASSAULT AND BATTERY,

RESISTING ARREST,

AND AS SOON AS THE VICTIM IS
RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL,

HE WILL BE DOWN HERE
TO PRESS CHARGES.

HEY, WHAT ABOUT
MY TOOTH, HUNTER?

I'M GONNA GO BERSERK.
YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING.

HOLD THAT.

I'M GONNA TEAR
THIS PLACE APART.

EXCUSE ME. COME HERE.

NOW, YOUR TOOTH REALLY
BOTHERS YOU, HUH?

MAN, I'M DYING.

MY HEAD'S ON FIRE.

NOW, I CAN TAKE CARE
OF THIS FOR YOU, JESSE,

FREE OF CHARGE, BUT IT'S
GONNA CAUSE YOU SOME PAIN.

MAN, YOU GOTTA
DO SOMETHING.

NOW, YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?

'CAUSE I NORMALLY
DON'T DO THIS.

HUNTER, I'M GONNA EXPLODE.
YOU GOTTA HELP ME.

WELL...
IS THAT BETTER?

YEAH.

ATTABOY. BOOK HIM!

HOPE THEY COVER THAT
IN HIS DENTAL PLAN.

YEAH.

DID YOU OR DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
WHEN I TOOK OVER THIS JOB

THAT YOU WOULD SHAPE UP AND
START FOLLOWING REGULATIONS?

WELL, IF I
RECALL CORRECTLY,

IT WAS YOU
THAT WAS TELLING ME.

AND YOU AGREED, RIGHT?

Hunter: YES.

NOW, WE EVEN
SHOOK HANDS ON IT.

SO NOW I GET
10 DOZEN HOT CALLS

FROM THE FIRE CHIEF TO
THE CONTROLLER'S OFFICE,

TO OUR OWN CHIEF HIMSELF,
ABOUT A HIGH-SPEED PURSUIT

INVOLVING ONE
SERGEANT HUNTER

THAT'S GONNA
COST THIS CITY A FORTUNE.

NOW, YOU DO KNOW THE RULES
ON HOT PURSUIT, RIGHT?

YES.

YOU AVOID THEM
IN DOWNTOWN AREAS

WHERE PEOPLE
CAN GET HURT, RIGHT?

YES.

YOU CALL FOR ASSISTANCE,

YOU CALL
FOR AIR SURVEILLANCE,

AND YOU DON'T TRY
TO OUTRUN SOMEONE

ON WILSHIRE BOULEVARD.

AND HE KNEW THAT, TOO.
I ALMOST HAD THIS GUY

WHEN HE WENT SOUTH
ON WILSHIRE.

BY THAT TIME,
YOU SHOULD'VE

CALLED IN THE CHOPPERS
AND DROPPED OUT, HUNTER.

HEY, WHAT RULES
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?

DEL RIO IS WANTED
ON A TRIPLE HOMICIDE.

I MEAN,
IF THERE ARE NO RULES

ABOUT LETTING A TRIPLE
MURDERER GET AWAY,

THERE SURE AS HELL
OUGHTA BE.

WHAT HOMICIDE,
TRIPLE MURDERER?

HE'S WANTED
FOR ARMED ROBBERY.

CAPTAIN, THE CALL
CAME IN ON OUR RADIO.

DEL RIO
SHOT HIS GIRLFRIEND

AND 2 OF HER BROTHERS
IN BOYLE HEIGHTS.

AND WE GOT HIM,
AND NOBODY GOT HURT.

HOW ABOUT 70 FEET OF
DISPLAY WINDOW AT BULLOCK'S?

HOW ABOUT 4 FIRE HYDRANTS
THAT TURNED

THE AMBASSADOR HOTEL'S
FRONT LAWN INTO A LAKE?

NOW, WE'VE ALREADY LOGGED
OVER 80 COMPLAINTS.

WE'LL PROBABLY GET HIT
WITH HALF A DOZEN LAWSUITS

BY THE TIME THIS IS OVER,
AND... WHAT?

PERSONNEL FOLDERS
YOU REQUESTED, SIR.

I THINK WE'LL FIND
OUR MAN IN HERE

FOR THE CHIEF'S
RECRUITMENT POSTER.

BERNIE, I THOUGHT
THEY TRANSFERRED YOU

TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

YES, THEY DID, HUNTER.
JUST HELPING OUT

THE CAPTAIN HERE
ON A SPECIAL PROJECT.

SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR
LITTLE JOYRIDE TODAY.

HA HA HA.
PEDAL TO THE METAL.

ALL RIGHT. I THINK
YOU BOTH GOT THE MESSAGE.

WELL, ENOUGH SAID.

REPORT
TO THIS ADDRESS.

SATICOY AND VINELAND?

YOU'RE GOING TO BE TECHNICAL
ADVISORS ON
STREET HEAT.

THAT'S A TELEVISION SHOW.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

ISN'T THERE SOME SORT
OF A RULE IN THE BOOK

AGAINST, UH, THE MISUSE
OF POLICE PERSONNEL?

OR ARE WE JUST
BEING PUNISHED

FOR TAKING A HOMICIDAL
MANIAC OFF THE STREETS?

LOOK, I WANT YOU BOTH
TO DO SOMETHING SAFE AND QUIET

UNTIL THE FALLOUT
FROM THIS HIGH-SPEED CHASE

IS GONE AND FORGOTTEN.
NOW, THE PRODUCER

OF STREET HEAT
IS
A PERSONAL FRIEND OF MINE,

BAY FETNER, AND
I PROMISED TO SEND HIM

2 REAL LIVE DETECTIVES.

SEND HIM BERNIE.

HE'S EXPECTING
THE TWO OF YOU.

HE FEELS THE SHOW'S
GOTTEN AWAY FROM REALITY.

I'D LIKE YOU TO POINT OUT
TO HIM WHERE.

CAPTAIN, THESE ARE THE
CANDIDATES I PICKED OUT.

IF YOU DON'T MIND,
LIEUTENANT MARTEL

SUGGESTED I SUBMIT
THIS ONE AS WELL.

OH, BERNIE,
IF I WAS YOU,

I'D GO WITH ONE WITH MORE
AUTHORITY IN THE JAWLINE.

DON'T ASK ME WHY, BUT
THIS IS YOUR NEW CAR.

CAPTAIN'S ORDERS.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING, McCALL?

I THINK YOU'RE
RIGHT.

THE CAPTAIN IS
TRYING TO PUNISH US.

YOU CALL THIS PUNISHMENT?
I CALL THIS GREAT!

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

IF IT WASN'T FOR THE
FACT THAT YOU AND I

WERE GONNA GO
BABYSITTING

ON BAY FETNER'S
TELEVISION COMPANY,

WHICH CAR IN
THIS COMPOUND

DO YOU THINK WE'D
BE ISSUED, HUH?

TAKE A LOOK AROUND.
PICK ONE OUT.

WELL, I...

THAT ONE OVER THERE
IS A SURE BET.

LIKE THAT ONE? SOLD.
WE'LL TAKE IT, VERN.

ARE YOU NUTS?

COME ON, MAN.
THE CAPTAIN SAYS

GIVE THEM THE BEST CAR
ON THE LOT.

THIS IS IT.
NOW, TAKE IT, PLEASE.

HUNTER, YOU'RE CRAZY.

HOW CAN YOU PASS UP THIS
BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MACHINERY

FOR THAT PIECE OF JUNK?

WHAT DID
THE CAPTAIN SAY

THAT BAY FETNER WANTED
ON HIS TELEVISION SHOW?

REALITY, RIGHT?

THAT'S REALITY.

SO, DO YOU WATCH IT?

WATCH WHAT?

STREET HEAT.

OH, WELL, I'VE SEEN
BITS AND PIECES OF IT,

TURNING THE DIAL,
YOU KNOW.

BITS AND PIECES, HUH?

WELL, I MEAN, I DON'T
WATCH IT EVERY WEEK.

I'VE PROBABLY SEEN IT
ONCE OR TWICE

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IT'S NOT EXACTLY

THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY
TUESDAY NIGHT, YOU KNOW.

COME ON, McCALL, ADMIT IT.

THIS GUY HENDRICKS,
WHO PLAYS STREET,

SENDS OUT VIBES ON YOUR
WAVELENGTH, DOESN'T HE?

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,

WOMEN CAN'T GET ENOUGH
OF THIS GUY. WHO KNOWS?

THIS COULD BE YOUR BIG
OPPORTUNITY HERE TODAY.

IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY,
COULD I SING A DUET

WITH SOMEBODY LIKE
J.J. HENDRICKS?

IN A MINUTE.

BOO!

AAH!
AAH!

HOLD IT!

THIS IS STREET.

TELL THEM TO SEND A MEAT WAGON
TO 5th AND ALVARADO.

TELL CAPTAIN GRAYSON

FRANKIE T. GOT
HIS TICKET PUNCHED...

PERMANENTLY.

Director: AND CUT.

PRINT IT.

THERE YOU GO.

AHH.

GOOD JOB.

YOU KNOW, IF
THIS J.J. HENDRICKS

KEEPS FLASHING YOU
THOSE PEARLY WHITES,

YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO BUY

AN AWFUL LARGE
PAIR OF SUNGLASSES.

HUNTER,
CAN I HELP IT

IF THE GUY LIKES
WHAT HE SEES?

COME ON, LOOK AT THE WAY
THEY DRESS THE GUY.

CHARLIE, WHAT'S THIS
OLD HEAP DOING HERE?

OR IS THIS THE ONE

WE'RE GONNA WRECK
DURING THE CHASE?

NO, NO.
THIS IS MY CAR.

YOUR CAR?

YOU MUST BE KIDDING?

CAPTAIN SAID YOU WERE
INTERESTED IN REALITY.

OH, COME ON.
YOU'RE PUTTING ME ON.

SPEAKING OF REALITY,

YOU KNOW, AS A PRODUCER
OF THIS TELEVISION SHOW,

I'D BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT
HOW YOU DRESS YOUR STAR.

I MEAN, A REAL COP,
A REAL POLICE OFFICER,

WOULD NEVER HAVE
HIS CUFFS

HANGING THAT
CLOSE TO HIS WEAPON.

YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

I HEARD A LOT
ABOUT YOU, HUNTER.

CAPTAIN WYLER TELLS ME SOME
INTERESTING STORIES ABOUT YOU.

I'D LIKE
TO HEAR 'EM.

FOLLOW ME,
COME HERE.

HEY, I SEE YOU MET A
COUPLE OF METRO'S FINEST.

STU, I'D LIKE YOU
TO MEET

SERGEANTS McCALL AND HUNTER.

HOW DO YOU DO?
HI.

STU'S HEAD OF PUBLICITY,
SO BE NICE TO HIM.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT,
LIKE, MAYBE DINNER TONIGHT?

WELL, I WOULD LOVE TO,

BUT I'VE ALREADY MADE
OTHER PLANS FOR TONIGHT.

HOW ABOUT THE WRAP PARTY?

I MEAN, YOU GOTTA AT LEAST
STOP BY THE WRAP PARTY.

I'D LOVE FOR YOU
TO BE THERE.

HEY, J.J., THE REPORTER
FROM THE
TIMES

IS STILL WAITING.

ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN'T KEEP
THE PRESS WAITING, CAN YOU?

I'LL CATCH YOU GUYS LATER.

BAY, GIVE THEM
ANYTHING THEY WANT.

BYE.

BYE.

CIAO.

TERRIFIC GUY.

A PRINCE.

YOU FOLKS
NEED SOMETHING,

JUST HOLLER.

I NEED SOME COFFEE.

HUNTER, COME ON.
IT'S SHOW BIZ.

GLAMOUR,
EXCITEMENT...

J.J. HENDRICKS.

WHY DON'T YOU
JUST RELAX?

JUST LIGHTEN UP,
WILL YA?

A LOT OF INTERESTING
PEOPLE HERE ON THIS SET.

NOW, YOU NEVER KNOW
WHO YOU MIGHT MEET.

HI.

HELLO.

HEY, ARE YOU THE POLICE
OFFICERS THEY SENT OUT?

YEAH, WE CERTAINLY ARE.

THIS IS SERGEANT McCALL.
I'M SERGEANT HUNTER.

OH, WOW!

I BET IT'S EXCITING BEING
INVOLVED IN POLICE WORK.

AH, YES, IT IS.

ALTHOUGH WE
DON'T GET SHOT AT

AS MUCH AS
YOU AND STREET DO.

IN OUR CASE, THE
BULLETS ARE REAL.

WELL, THAT'S
WHAT BOTHERS ME.

I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT THAT,

HOW IT FEELS WHEN
THE BULLETS ARE REAL.

Hendricks: I FEEL
THE SAME WAY ABOUT YOU.

WHY DON'T YOU SWING BY?

YOU KNOW I HATE
UNWINDING ALONE.

YEAH, ME, TOO, BABY.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.

AW, HONEY...

HEY!

HELLO?

HELLO?

AAH! AAH!

YOU JUST COULDN'T HELP
PLAY THE HERO, COULD YOU?

WHO FOUND THE BODY?

GIRLFRIEND,
CINDY LARWIN.

SHE'S PRETTY SHAKEN UP,
BUT WHO WOULDN'T BE?

THIS ONE'S LIABLE TO
GIVE ME NIGHTMARES.

WHAT DID THE CORONER
HAVE TO SAY

ABOUT THE PROBABLE
CAUSE OF DEATH?

FRACTURED SKULL.

LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS
THE MURDER WEAPON.

GIVE ME A PLASTIC SACK,
WOULD YOU, RAY?

THANKS.

I WANT YOU TO HAVE THE
LAB LOOK AT THIS RING.

SEE IF THEY CAN COME UP
WITH ANY TYPE

OF SKIN FRAGMENTS
ON IT, WOULD YOU?

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM
WITH THIS, HUNTER?

PROBABLY THE SAME PROBLEM
YOU'VE GOT WITH IT.

YEAH, WELL, MINE IS
WHY SOMETHING LIKE ACID?

W-WHY WOULD
SOMEBODY COME IN HERE

AND BURN OFF
HENDRICKS' FACE

AND THEN KILL HIM?
THAT DOESN'T TRACK.

EXCUSE ME,
WHERE'S THE WITNESS?

HE WAS JUST LYING THERE.
FIRST I THOUGHT

HE WAS STRETCHED OUT IN
FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE.

THEN I SAW HIS FACE.

TRY NOT TO THINK
ABOUT IT.

JUST TRY TO PUT IT
OUT OF YOUR MIND.

WE WERE GOING
TO BE MARRIED.

NOBODY KNEW THAT,
BUT IT'S TRUE.

EVERYBODY THOUGHT J.J.
WAS THIS "MR. MACHO"

'CAUSE OF THE SHOW.
HE WASN'T. HE WAS

JUST THIS WONDERFUL
GUY WHO LOVED ME.

I'M PREGNANT.

WHEN I TOLD J.J.,
HE WAS SO EXCITED.

HE SAID
ALL HE WANTED TO DO

WAS BE WITH ME
AND HAVE BABIES.

I KNOW THAT
SOUNDS CRAZY.

BUT IT'S ALL
HE COULD TALK ABOUT.

THIS WAS GOING TO BE HIS
LAST SEASON ON THE SHOW.

HE WAS GONNA DO MOVIES.

HE WOULDN'T HAVE
TO WORK SO HARD.

WE COULD BE
TOGETHER MORE.

HE LOVED ME.
HE REALLY DID.

BAY FETNER'S
BEEN CALLING ME.

I'VE BEEN
AVOIDING HIS CALLS,

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY TO HIM.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING AT
ALL THAT I CAN TELL HIM?

YEAH, I HAVE.

FETNER CALLED HENDRICKS
A REAL PRINCE.

WELL, I CHECKED HIM OUT.
THE GUY WASN'T A PRINCE,

HE WAS A CREEP.
HE HIT ON ME,

HE HIT ON
EVERY GIRL AROUND.

HE GOT SOME POOR GIRL NAMED
CINDY LARWIN PREGNANT

AND INTO THINKING

THAT SHE WAS THE ONLY
WOMAN IN HIS LIFE.

NOW, WHO KNOWS HOW
MANY MORE THERE WERE?

AND I THINK WITH
A GUY LIKE THAT,

YOU GOT A LOT
OF MOTIVE.

I WANT A LIST
OF ALL THE WOMEN

THAT HENDRICKS
WAS INVOLVED WITH.

YOU GOT IT.
I'M WORKING ON IT.

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S
OFFICE REPORTS

THAT HENDRICKS WAS SPRAYED
WITH ACID, THEN KILLED.

NOW, MY QUESTION
TO YOU IS,

"WHY WOULD
YOU KILL SOMEBODY

WHEN YOU ONLY CAME THERE
TO DISFIGURE HIM?"

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
GOT A GOOD ANSWER?

WELL, WE FOUND FRAGMENTS
OF LATEX RUBBER

AND RED DYE
ON HENDRICKS' RING.

NOW, PERHAPS THIS FELLOW
HE WAS FIGHTING WITH

WAS WEARING SOME SORT
OF A HALLOWEEN MASK,

AND IN THE STRUGGLE
HE REVEALED HIMSELF,

AND THE GUY HAD
NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE

BUT TO KILL HIM.

OK. WE'RE MOVING.

BUT I GOT A QUESTION.

HOW DO YOU DO IT?

DO WHAT?

I SEND YOU AWAY FROM HERE

TO GET YOU OUT
OF MY HAIR FOR A WHILE,

AND A HOMICIDE CASE,
A MEDIA EVENT CASE, NO LESS,

FALLS RIGHT
INTO YOUR LAPS.

HOW DO YOU MANAGE THAT?

EXTREMELY LUCKY,
I GUESS.

REMEMBER THAT WRAP PARTY
I WAS INVITED TO?

YES, I DO, BUT I DON'T
BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING

TO HAVE TOO MUCH TO
CELEBRATE NOW, DO YOU?

McCall: YOU DON'T KNOW
HOLLYWOOD, HUNTER.

AAAH!

IS THIS MY IMAGINATION
OR DID WE JUST STEP DOWN

INTO A MALE
BEAUTY CONTEST?

HA HA HA HA HA.

IT'S CALLED LOOKING
FOR THE NEW GUY, HUNTER.

THE ROLE DOESN'T EXACTLY
CALL FOR A FEMALE LEAD.

AH.

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

WELL, SO GLAD
YOU COULD MAKE IT.

YEAH.
NICE TURNOUT.

I KNOW HOW THIS
MUST LOOK,

I MEAN, IT'S ONLY
BEEN 2 DAYS

AFTER IT ALL HAPPENED,
RIGHT?

YOU DIDN'T KNOW J.J.

HE WOULDN'T WANT
HIS FRIENDS BEING DEPRESSED.

HE'D WANT THEM
OUT HAVING FUN,

LIKE THIS, SHARING
THE JOY OF KNOWING HIM.

A GUY LIKE J.J.

MUST HAVE HAD A LOT
OF GOOD FRIENDS.

OH, HE WAS ONE OF
THE BEST-LIKED GUYS

IN OUR BUSINESS.

HE WAS A REAL
SWEETHEART.

THE MAN WAS
A CARING INDIVIDUAL,

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

PEOPLE'S FEELINGS
MEANT A LOT TO HIM.

YEAH, I GUESS
HE WAS A REAL SAINT.

Man: BAY, HEY, BAY,
HOW ARE YOU?

ALAN, BABY, SO GLAD
YOU COULD MAKE IT.

ENJOY YOURSELVES.

Bay: ALAN.

I JUST HAD TO
GET OUT OF THERE.

OH, I KNOW
WHAT YOU MEAN.

NOW, CINDY, IF I CAN HELP YOU
WITH ANYTHING, PLEASE...

YOU'VE ALREADY DONE
ENOUGH ALREADY, PEG.

YOU WERE THERE WHEN
I NEEDED A FRIEND.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
EVERY TIME

I GET INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE,
SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS.

WHAT YOU NEED
IS SOME WORK,

SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU BUSY
AND HELP YOU THROUGH ALL THIS.

NOW, IT'LL BE
A COUPLE OF MONTHS

BEFORE YOU SHOW, SO...

I DON'T STILL THINK
I'M UP TO IT.

MAYBE AFTER
THE BABY'S BORN.

AAAH! AAAAH!

AAAAH!

LOOK, MY ARM.

THEY GOT AN APB
OUT ON THE CAR.

PROBABLY WIND UP
BEING STOLEN

FROM SOME PARKING LOT.

YOU TWO
GOT HERE FAST.

WELL, WE WERE
ALREADY HERE.

WE WERE INVITED,

GUESTS OF YOUR
FRIEND, MR. FETNER.

YOU WERE HERE
AND THE GUY GOT AWAY?

YEAH, WE WERE HERE
AND HE GOT AWAY.

COULDN'T HOLD ON
TO HIM, HUH?

NO.

UH, SERGEANT HUNTER
SAVED MY LIFE.

IF IT WASN'T
FOR HIS ACTIONS

AND SERGEANT McCALL'S
QUICK THINKING,

I'D PROBABLY
BE ON MY WAY

TO A BURN UNIT
RIGHT NOW.

McCall: THIS IS
PEGGY SULLIVAN.

SHE'S THE CASTING
DIRECTOR

ON THE
STREET HEAT
SERIES.

DID YOU GET
ANY KIND OF A LOOK

AT ALL AT THIS GUY?

YES, I DID.

I'VE BEEN AFRAID
TO SAY THIS

'CAUSE I REALLY DIDN'T
SEE HIM THAT WELL,

BUT FOR A SPLIT SECOND
I THOUGHT OF DAVID TALON.

OH, WITH A SKI MASK ON?

I'M A CASTING DIRECTOR.
I STUDY ACTORS' PHYSIQUES.

YOU KNOW, THE WAY
THEY WALK, TALK.

THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT
HIS SILHOUETTE, HIS POSTURE.

I'M NOT SAYING
IT WAS DAVID.

IT COULDN'T BE, BUT...

DAVID TALON.
I'VE HEARD OF HIM.

HE WAS THE ORIGINAL
LEAD ON
STREET HEAT.

THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT,

AND J.J. REPLACED HIM
ON THE SHOW.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, HE WAS INTO DRUGS
LONG BEFORE HE GOT THE JOB.

WITH SUCCESS,
IT GOT WORSE.

IT GOT TO THE POINT
WHERE HE WAS FREE-BASING

ONE DAY
IN HIS DRESSING ROOM

AND IT BLEW UP
IN HIS FACE.

AND HE DECIDED TO BLAME
ALL OF US FOR WHAT HAPPENED.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

BLAME ALL OF YOU
FOR WHAT HAPPENED?

DAVID TALON WAS NOT ONE OF
YOUR NICER PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD.

HE WAS NEUROTIC. HE WAS
UNDER ANALYSIS FOR YEARS.

AND HE WAS CONVINCED
THAT ONE OF US

OR ALL OF US
ON THE SHOW

TAMPERED WITH HIS EQUIPMENT
TO GET RID OF HIM.

WELL, I SEE YOU DECIDED
TO LIVE IN THAT SHIRT.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT HER.

SHE LOVES THE MEN'S ROOM,
DON'T YOU?

CALLED YOU LAST NIGHT
AND NOBODY ANSWERED.

WHERE WERE YOU?

I WAS OUT JOGGING.

OH, IS THAT WHAT
THEY CALL THAT NOW?

YOU'RE A
LAUGH RIOT, ALICE.

OUR SQUIRT GUN KILLER.

I GOT IT FROM
PEG SULLIVAN LAST NIGHT.

I WANT TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING.

DAVID TALON WAS ONE OF
THE FEW PATIENTS I'VE TREATED

WHO HAD ABSOLUTELY
NO REDEEMING QUALITIES.

HE HAD SUCH AN EGO
MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY

DIDN'T COVER IT
UNTIL AFTER HIS ACCIDENT.

THEN HE DEVELOPED SOME CLASSIC
PARANOID CHARACTERISTICS.

PARANOID ENOUGH
TO KILL PEOPLE?

IT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY.

LOOK, DOC, WE'RE AWARE OF
THE MEDICAL ETHICS HERE,

BUT MAYBE YOU
CAN HELP US OUT.

YOU MUST HAVE COPIES OF
YOUR DISCUSSIONS WITH HIM...

NOTES, TAPES, SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN GET A LOOK AT.

YOU MUST BE KIDDING.

DAVID TALON
IS MY PATIENT.

THE TAPES
ARE CONFIDENTIAL.

I WON'T LET YOU
SEE A THING.

YOUR PATIENT'S
A MURDERER.

HE'S RUNNING AROUND
THIS TOWN

DISFIGURING
PEOPLE WITH ACID.

THE ANSWER,
SERGEANT, IS NO.

YOU CAN TRY
FOR A SEARCH WARRANT

IF YOU LIKE,
BUT YOU WON'T GET ONE,

NOT FROM ANY COURT
I'VE EVER HEARD OF.

WHAT A CHARMER.

HE'S RIGHT, YOU KNOW.

THERE'S NO WAY
WE'RE GOING TO GET A JUDGE

TO GIVE US A COURT ORDER
TO GET AT THOSE RECORDS.

WELL, IT DOESN'T MEAN
WE CAN'T GET THEM

WITH A LITTLE BIT OF
IMAGINATION NOW, DOES IT?

HUNTER, ARE YOU SURE
YOU WANT TO GO AROUND

ONE MORE TIME
WITH THE CAPTAIN?

WELL, WHAT WOULD
YOU LIKE TO DO,

SIT AROUND AND WAIT
FOR THIS TALON GUY

TO GIVE PEGGY SULLIVAN
AN ACID BATH?

♪ ...PLAYING

WHO ARE YOU?

WHERE'S LAURA?

WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE.

WHERE'S LAURA?

I'M SORRY, DOLL,
WHAT'D YOU SAY?

I CAN'T HEAR NOTHING
WITH THESE THINGS ON.

WHERE'S LAURA?

OH... OH, LAURA.

LAURA HAD TO GO
TO THE AIRPORT

TO PICK UP
HER MOTHER.

YOU SEE, HER MOTHER'S
COMING IN FROM FRESNO.

AND BELIEVE ME,
THIS IS A REAL DRAG,

AND YOU WOULD KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

IF YOU EVER
MET HER MOTHER.

YOU CAN'T DO THIS NOW.

YOU CAN'T DO THIS NOW!

HUH?

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO SHOW UP UNTIL 6:00.

DR. BRESLEY HAS
A 4:00 APPOINTMENT.

4:00. WELL, UH,
MY WATCH SAYS

IT'S 3:00 HERE.
3... SEE, 3:00.

I CAN BE IN AND OUT OF
HERE IN HALF AN HOUR,

NO PROBLEM,
BUT, SEE, LIKE,

IF I DON'T GET TO CLEAN
THIS OFFICE TODAY,

THEN I HAVE TO COME
BACK FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

AND THEN THE DOCTOR'S
GONNA COME IN HERE,

HE'S GONNA START POPPING
THEM BAD BREATH MINTS

HE'S ALWAYS TAKING.
POPS THEM IN

AND GETS A LITTLE TINFOIL
STUCK BACK IN HIS TEETH,

AND HE THROWS IT
ALL OVER THE CARPET,

AND I PERSONALLY
HAPPEN TO THINK

THIS LOOKS
VERY DISGUSTING,

BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT ME
TO VACUUM, HEY, NO PROBLEM.

OK, BUT YOU GOT TO BE
OUT OF HERE IN 15 MINUTES.

15 MINUTES, FINE.
HALF AN HOUR, 15...

OK, I'LL DO THIS.
OK. 15 MINUTES.

WHAT DID YOU SAY? WAIT,
WAIT, HOLD ON A SECOND.

HOLD ON A SECOND.

Talon, on tape:
THEY WERE JEALOUS.

THEY ALL KNEW I WAS WHAT
HELD THE SHOW TOGETHER.

I WAS
THE
STAR, MAN,
AND THEY KNEW IT.

HOW MUCH LONGER
ARE YOU GONNA BE?

HUH?

YOU SAID THIS WOULD
ONLY TAKE 15 MINUTES.

SECONDS. I WILL BE GONE
IN MERE SECONDS.

Talon: THEY ALL
CONSPIRED TO GET ME.

EVERY ONE OF THEM
HAD HIS OWN REASON

FOR WANTING ME
OFF THAT SHOW.

THEY RIGGED THAT ETHER
TO EXPLODE.

J.J., THAT CREEP FETNER,

AND THE SLUT. THEY COULDN'T
WAIT TO GET RID OF ME.

Bresley: WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH ALL THIS BEFORE.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, JUST
AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.

NOW, NO ONE TAMPERED WITH
YOUR FREE-BASING EQUIPMENT.

CAN'T YOU
GET THAT STRAIGHT?

THIS IS L-56.

I'VE GOT A POSSIBLE 187
AT BAY FETNER'S PLACE,

1133 ST. WAVERLY ROAD.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY THERE NOW.

REQUEST A BACKUP. AND
MAKE SURE YOU SEND A UNIT

OVER TO PEG SULLIVAN'S
PLACE. OUT.

Radio: IT JUST
CAME IN, SERGEANT,

THAT BAY FETNER WAS
FOUND 10 MINUTES AGO.

SOMEONE ATTACKED HIM
WITH ACID.

SAME M.O. AS
THE HENDRICKS CASE.

IS HE ALIVE?

ACCORDING TO THE
PARAMEDICS, HE'LL LIVE,

BUT HE'LL BE
BADLY SCARRED.

WELL, YOU BETTER
TELL CAPTAIN WYLER.

FETNER'S
A GOOD FRIEND OF HIS.

WHAT ABOUT THAT NUMBER WE GOT
FROM TALON'S PSYCHIATRIST?

DID YOU GET
AN ADDRESS ON THAT?

THE STATMAN HOTEL,
OVER ON 3rd AND FOUNTAIN.

L-56 OUT.

THIS GUY REALLY OUGHT TO
HAVE HIS LOCKS CHANGED.

HUNTER.

YEAH?

PAYCHECK STUB FROM
THE SUNSET WAX MUSEUM.

NOTHING LIKE A WALK THROUGH
A MURDERERS' ROW, HUH?

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,

BUT THIS PLACE
GIVES ME THE CREEPS.

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING IN HERE?

I DIDN'T HEAR
ANYONE KNOCK.

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T
SEE IT, THERE'S A SIGN

OUT FRONT THAT SAYS
"EMPLOYEES ONLY."

WE ASSUME, MR. TALON,

YOU'VE BEEN
LISTENING TO THE NEWS.

WE ALSO ASSUME YOU'RE AWARE
THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE

YOU KNEW OR ONCE
WORKED WITH ARE NOW DEAD

OR IN THE HOSPITAL WITH
THEIR FACES BURNED OFF.

YEAH, I HEARD ABOUT THAT
ON THE RADIO.

THAT'S TOO BAD.

YEAH, IT WAS.

I GUESS YOU ALSO KNOW,
THEN, THAT J.J HENDRICKS

WAS FOUND MUTILATED
AND MURDERED

AT HIS HOME
ON THURSDAY NIGHT.

I GUESS YOU KNEW HIM
PRETTY WELL, DIDN'T YOU?

NO, NOT VERY WELL.
HE WAS JUST A GUY

WHO DID WALK-ONS
IN STREET HEAT,
SO...

DON'T EXPECT ME
TO GRIEVE FOR THE GUY.

I'M GONNA ASK YOU WHERE
YOU WERE THURSDAY NIGHT.

THAT'S THE NIGHT

J.J. HENDRICKS GOT
HIS FACE BURNED OFF

AND HIS BRAINS BASHED IN.
BUT BEFORE I DO,

SERGEANT McCALL WANTS
TO GIVE YOU A MESSAGE.

"YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT."

WHOA... HEY, HEY,
HEY, HEY,

I USED TO RECITE
THAT CRAP ON MY SHOW,

SO FORGET ABOUT IT.

THURSDAY NIGHT,
LET'S SEE. OH, YES,

I WAS TAKING IN
A MOVIE.

I LIKE TO SIT
IN THE DARK.

MAYBE YOU AND I CAN
HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE,

I'LL TELL YOU
ALL ABOUT IT.

PRETTY GOOD
LIKENESS, HUH?

YEAH, EVER SINCE
OLD J.J. DIED,

HE'S HOTTER THAN EVER.

WE'RE MAKING UP A NEW
BUNCH OF FIGURES OF HIM.

I JUST FOUND THIS
OLD HEAD LYING AROUND.

THOUGHT
I'D GET RID OF IT.

I BET A GUY
LIKE YOU HAS ACCESS

TO A LOT OF CHEMICALS
AND ACIDS, HUH?

HEY, IF YOU'VE GOT SOME
KIND OF CASE AGAINST ME,

ARREST ME, AND
I'LL CALL MY LAWYER

AND WE'LL SEE
WHAT HAPPENS.

IF NOT, WHY
DON'T YOU LEAVE?

LOOK, WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOU

WAS A TERRIBLE,
TRAGIC ACCIDENT.

BUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW
IS NOT GONNA HELP THINGS,

AND IT'S NOT GONNA MAKE

ANYTHING BETTER
FOR YOURSELF.

YOU THINK I'M SICK?
YOU THINK THE EXPLOSION

IN THE DRESSING ROOM
WAS AN ACCIDENT?

WELL, YOU WEREN'T
THERE, LADY,

AND I WAS, AND
IT WAS NO ACCIDENT.

NOW GET OUT OF HERE!

GET OUT!

McCall:
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WHY DON'T YOU GET OVER
TO PEGGY SULLIVAN'S HOUSE?

IF THIS GUY IS
GONNA MAKE HIS MOVE,

I WANT ONE OF US
TO BE THERE.

I'M GONNA CHECK OUT
HIS WORKSHOP.

PEG WASN'T THE ONE
THAT TALON WAS REFERRING TO

ON BRESLEY'S TAPE.
HE WASN'T AFTER HER AT ALL.

LOOKS THAT WAY,
DOESN'T IT?

KNOWING HIS OLD GIRLFRIEND
WAS INVOLVED WITH HENDRICKS,

THAT WOULD MAKE TALON
NUTS, WOULDN'T IT?

THIS IS L-56.

PATCH ME THROUGH
TO A LIEUTENANT DeMARCO

IN MISSING PERSONS,
WOULD YOU?

DeMarco: WHAT CAN
I DO FOR YOU, HUNTER?

LOU, WE'VE BEEN TRYING
TO LOCATE A WOMAN

BY THE NAME
OF CINDY LARWIN.

NOW, WE'VE TRIED HER
LAST KNOWN ADDRESS

AND HER PARENTS' HOUSE.
WE'VE COME UP WITH NOTHING.

NOW, YOU'RE THE EXPERT, WE
WANT YOU TO FIND HER FOR US.

I'VE GOT A NAME AND
A NUMBER FOR YOU:

PEGGY SULLIVAN,
555-3792.

NOW, SHE'LL BE
ABLE TO GIVE YOU

SOME INFORMATION
TO START OFF WITH.

DeMarco: OK, GOT IT.

BUT CAN I ASK YOU
THE SAME QUESTION

I ALWAYS ASK WITH
A MISSING PERSON...

DO YOU REALLY THINK
THEY'RE MISSING

OR DO YOU THINK
THEY'RE DEAD?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW
THE ANSWER TO THAT,

BUT WE'RE ABOUT
TO DO SOMETHING

THAT MIGHT JUST ANSWER THAT
QUESTION FOR ALL OF US.

L-56 OUT.

AND YOU'RE SURE
TALON'S AFTER HER?

WE WOULDN'T BET
AGAINST IT.

ALL YOU GOTTA DO
IS GET THE STUDIO

TO TAKE OUT AN AD IN
TOMORROW MORNING'S TRADES

THAT CINDY LARWIN IS GOING
TO BE A GUEST ACTRESS

ON ONE OF YOUR
TELEVISION SHOWS.

IT'S NO PROBLEM,
BUT THERE'S NO WAY

ANYONE CAN GET ON THIS LOT
WHO ISN'T AUTHORIZED TO.

WE HAVE ARMED GUARDS
AT ALL 3 GATES

AND DAVID TALON KNOWS
THAT. HE WON'T SHOW UP.

SAM, THIS IS HARRY

OVER IN MAINTENANCE.

WE'VE GOT A BLOOMING LEAK
OVER ON STAGE 4.

A BLOODY PIPE'S BUSTED.

I CALLED WILCOX PLUMBING,

UM, SHOOT 'EM THROUGH
WHEN THEY GET THERE,

WILL YOU, GUY?

GOT A CALL ABOUT
A BROKEN PIPE.

RIGHT. HOLD ON A SECOND.

SOUND STAGE 4. IT'S OVER
AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LOT.

GO DOWN THE ROAD
UNTIL YOU GET TO WARDROBE.

YOU CAN'T MISS IT.

GOT IT. THANKS.
ALL RIGHT.

FREEZE!

DROP THE GUN
RIGHT NOW.

DROP IT. DROP IT.

TURN AROUND, PUT YOUR
HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD.

DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE.

HUNTER, I GOT HIM.
MOVE IN.

Radio:
I'M ON MY WAY.

McCALL!

I'M OK!

SECURITY,
THIS IS SERGEANT McCALL.

WE HAVE A WOUNDED SUSPECT
TRYING TO LEAVE THE LOT.

SECURE ALL THE GATES.

Dispatcher:
YOU'RE PATCHED THROUGH

TO THAT NUMBER, SERGEANT.

DR. BRESLEY.

Dr. Bresley: YOU DON'T
GIVE UP, DO YOU, HUNTER?

YOUR PATIENT JUST
CAUGHT A BULLET

TRYING TO OFF
ANOTHER VICTIM.

NOW, HE'S NOT AT
HIS HOTEL ROOM

AND HE'S CERTAINLY NOT GOING
TO CHECK INTO A HOSPITAL

WITH THAT KIND
OF A BULLET WOUND.

WE'RE ON OUR WAY
TO THE WAX MUSEUM.

IF THIS GUY SHOWS UP
AT YOUR PLACE,

HOLD ON TO HIM.

HE WON'T
SHOW UP HERE, HUNTER.

HE DOESN'T LIKE ME.

WONDER WHY?

AND IF HE DID,

I WOULDN'T VIOLATE
MEDICAL ETHICS

AND CALL YOU.

BUT I THINK YOU'RE HEADED
FOR THE RIGHT PLACE.

THAT WAX MUSEUM IS
PROBABLY THE ONLY PLACE

HE FEELS SAFE AT.

IT'S NOT REALITY.

HOLD IT, TALON!

AAH!

SIR...

HERE'S THE PICTURE OF
HENDERSON YOU WANTED.

OH, YEAH. PUT IT
OVER THERE WITH THE OTHERS.

WHO, UH...

WHO SUBMITTED
THIS ONE, SIR?

FOWLER.

I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE, UH,

CONSIDERING
HUNTER, SIR.

COME IN, HUNTER, McCALL.

WANT TO SEE US?

I JUST GOT WORD
ON THE CAR YOU'RE USING.

YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE ONE
I ORDERED FOR YOU. WHY?

WELL, I FIGURED
IT WAS A MEMO MIX-UP.

YOU KNOW, WITH THE
HIGH-SPEED CHASE AND ALL,

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
BE SAVING THAT CAR

FOR SOMEBODY LIKE,
UH, BERNIE.

HUNTER, NEXT TIME SOMEBODY
TELLS YOU I GAVE AN ORDER,

TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT.

I GAVE IT,
AND I MEANT IT.

RIGHT?
RIGHT.

LET ME ASK YOU
A QUESTION.

WHY IS MY PICTURE
IN HERE?

IT WAS SENT IN
AS A POSSIBILITY

FOR THE RECRUITMENT POSTER.

OH, LISTEN,
DON'T DO THAT.

DON'T CONSIDER ME
FOR THAT, OK?

I DON'T LIKE PUBLICITY.

WELL, I'M GLAD
TO HEAR THAT, HUNTER.

BUT DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE NOT
UNDER CONSIDERATION.

NEITHER ARE YOU,
TERWILLIGER.

NEITHER ARE THOSE GUYS.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
IF YOU WANT TO SEE

WHO I'M GONNA USE
IN THE POSTER...

TAKE A LOOK.
