All language subtitles for Hunter S06E07 - Yesterdays Child

Tonight on "Hunter."

Come on, guys.

I don't think this
is such a good idea.

Then why don't you wait here?

We'll be right back.

Stop, you little punk!

Don't move!

You're staring a murder
rap square in the face.

It's not gonna go away.

Ben is innocent.

I'm telling the
truth and no one cares.

Well, your father cares.

Oh yeah?

So what?

You must help him,
Sergeant Hunter.

He is your son.

Come on, guys.

I don't think this
is such a good idea.

Then why don't you wait here?

We'll be right back.

Ben.

Relax, Ben.

This is it.

Stop, you little punk!

Man!

Oh, man!

Get in!

You shot him!

Just get in the damn car!

No.

Get...

Freeze!

Don't move, punk!

Good morning, belly bomb.

This is just what
I need right now.

Well, you're gonna need it
to cut through the material

you got there.

We.

And that's because
Kinnons and McGovern

are at TDY, the Academy,
and we have their overload.

Those coneheads can't type.

No kidding.

Rick, I got a guy at the desk
that, uh, wants to talk to you.

Yeah, good.

Can he type?
You're gonna need that.

How do you do?

I'm Sergeant Hunter.

I apologize for taking you away

from your duties, Sergeant.

My name is Nyuen Tran.

Oh, what can I do
for you, Mr. Nyuen?

It's about my son Ben.

He was arrested last night.

There was a shooting, and he
was with the boys who did it.

Oh, the Elegant Motors shooting.

Yes.

But Ben is innocent.

Oh, I think there's been some
sort of mistake, Mr. Nyuen.

I'm not handling that
case, Sergeant Matthews is.

I'll get him for you.

Please.

I hoped you would look
into Ben's case personally.

I don't understand.

Ben's mother was someone
you knew in Vietnam.

Lynn Dunn.

When my tour of
duty was up, I asked

Lynn to marry me and
come back to the States,

but she wouldn't
leave her family.

I know.

12 years ago, I received a
letter saying that she had died

in a refugee camp in Thailand.

The letter never
did mention a child.

I wrote that letter.

She spoke often of you.

She told me that
you wanted to become

a policeman in Los Angeles, so
that's where I sent a letter.

You are a man who makes his
dreams reality, Sergeant.

Well, not all of them.

When I got home I wrote
her many more times,

and she never
answered my letters.

Then when Saigon fell, I...

I wrote her again.

All my letters were
returned unopened.

The regime was very hard on
anyone who had any affiliations

with Americans.

She was sent to reeducation
camp for a couple of years.

Of course, she wasn't
allowed any letters.

I was sent to the camp
as well because I served

in the South Vietnamese Army.

That is where I first
met Lynn and the child.

Wait, Ben is not your blood son?

Before she died, she asked
me to make two promises.

The first, that I would
always protect Ben.

The second, that I
would never tell him

that his real father was alive.

But because of what
happened last night to Ben,

I must break the second so
that I may keep the first.

You must help him,
Sergeant Hunter.

He is your son.

Hello, Ben.

I'm Sergeant Hunter.

Have a seat.

You're in a lot of
trouble, you know that?

I had nothing to do with
that guy getting shot.

I already told that to
the other detective.

Where is he?

Well, he's doing
something else right now.

I'm, uh... I'm
taking over for him.

Well, he didn't believe me,
so I figure you won't either.

It's quite a story you got here.

In your statement you said that
you were with these two guys

and you only knew them by the
nicknames of Slice and Speed.

Is that right?

That's right.

And you never got
their real names?

Hey, what's the point?

No one believes that I didn't
know they were planning

to steal a car or kill anyone!

Sit down.

Hey, look, I'm telling
the truth, and no one cares.

Well, your father cares.

Oh yeah?

So what?

So what, huh?

Look, you got two choices.

You can feel sorry for yourself
and go to prison for murder,

or you can shut up, relax, talk
to me, maybe I can help you.

Now, what do you want to do?

Hey, why does it matter to you?

I'm a police officer, Ben.

It's my job.

Now, you want to talk or not?

Good.

Now, why don't you
start from the very top

and tell me what happened?

Hey, how you doing?

Hi.

Just talked to Joe Matthews.

Hmm.

So what's this about us taking
the Elegant Imports shooting?

Oh yeah.

Look, I was gonna talk
to you about that.

Better late than never.

It's very personal.

It's personal?

Yeah.

Well, I thought we
decided that if something

personal came up in a case we'd
shift it over to somebody else?

Look, you're absolutely right.

I'd like to make an
exception this case.

You'll go along with
me on it, won't you?

Yeah, OK.

Thanks.

No, I've never seen
this kid around here.

Do you remember a couple
of guys in their 20s

who might have been hanging
around the showroom?

Oh, man.

Well, a lot of
guys come in here,

you know, with big
dreams and empty pockets.

Uh... I'm sorry, I tend to only
remember the ones who buy.

Ah.

Sure.

Do... what, you think
these guys came in here

to case the joint or something?

Well, yeah, it's possible.

Tell me something, is
that unusual for salesmen

to be working that late?

No, not really.

I mean, Franz had a lot of, you
know, paperwork to finish up.

He'd, uh... he had a big day.

Big day.

When I heard about
what happened, it...

It made me sick, you know?

He was such a good guy.

Oh, there's Kenny.

You want to come with me?

Yeah.

Ken?

This is Sergeant McCall.

Ken Martin.

Oh, yes, of course.

We spoke on the phone.

Right.

Anything new since that?

No, the stolen car
hasn't turned up yet

and the vehicle that
was left unlocked

didn't have any prints.

Something will come up.

I'm sure you're
doing all you can.

Come on, we can talk
in my office upstairs.

Ken.

Boys on the floor
have kind of pitched

in for some flowers, so just let
me know where we can send them.

Oh, Julie is making all
the funeral arrangements,

so talk to her, Jack.

OK.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

You're handling the
funeral arrangements.

Did Mr. Rankle have a family?

Well, we get a lot
of rolling stones

in this business, Sergeant.

And, um, Franz was Austrian.

He never talked about
family back home.

Um, tell you the truth, I
don't know anything about him

other than his
monthly sales report.

I am going to pay
for the funeral.

It's the least we can do.

Morning, Uncle Ken.

Hey, Danny.

Customer for me?

Oh, I'm afraid not.

Uh, this is my nephew, Danny.

Ah.

Sergeant McCall LAPD.

Hi, Danny.

Hi.

Right.

Jeez, I hope you catch the
creeps who killed Franz.

I'm sure we will.

Is something wrong?

No, nothing's wrong.

You look a little
tired over there.

Want a soda?

How about you just
get me out of here?

Ben, you think this is a joke?

Huh?

You're staring a murderer
rap square in the face.

It's not gonna go
away, you know.

What if I don't find Speed
or Slice in any of these books?

We'll worry about that
when the time comes.

Meanwhile, keep looking.

OK.

Why don't you get me one too?

Yeah, only if you
have good news for me.

Well, how about 26 reasons why
I ought to buy an imported car?

But other than that, zip.

Huh.

Kid come up with anything?

Not yet.

You know what I don't get?

Why a couple of
guys in their 20s

would want to hang
out with a teenager,

especially if they were
going to rip off a car.

Unless the kid's in on it.

No, I don't think
he was in on it.

Well, he's got a
couple of priors.

Truancy at school, shoplifting.

That doesn't make
him a car thief

or an accessory to
murder, does it?

Well, look who's here.

The only two cops in the
department that don't

have a big enough case load.

Do you mind telling me
why you took the Rankle

case away from Matthews?

Interesting case?

Really?

Is that why you
pulled strings to have

your only suspect released
to his father's custody?

What the hell is going on here?

OK, I think we all
better ever have a talk.

And the kid still has no idea

that you're his father?

No, he doesn't.

You gonna tell him?

Uh, Tran said it's up
to me, but I don't think

his mother would want me to.

What do you want to do?

That's a good question.

I don't know.

You know, looking at Ben
I feel as though the war

stole a little bit of
my life too, you know.

I just don't know what the
hell I want to do right now.

She should have told
you that she was pregnant.

She couldn't, Charlie.

She knew I'd come back
for her and the boy.

She'd have never left
Vietnam or her family.

But she did leave.

They ended up in Thailand.

Look, I know that.

That's because her
family was wiped out.

By that time she was
married to Mr. Nyuen.

That's right.

Yeah, come in.

Captain, the vehicle
stolen from Martin Motors

has been found.
It's at the impound.

Oh, thanks.

Charlie, look.

I think the boy is
telling me the truth.

I'd like to help him.

So what are you waiting for?

Thanks.

Looks more like vandalism
than it does an accident.

Let's get the lab over here,
have them take a look at it.

- DET.
- Yeah.

Sergeant McCall.

Hi.

Well, I see you've
found our car.

We sure did.

Jack Stone, Ken Martin, this
is my partner, Sergeant Hunter.

- Mr. Stone.
- Hunter.

It's a pleasure.
Mr. Martin.

How are you?

Boy.

Look at this, would you?

They destroyed a $50,000 car.

We're going to have to
have her towed out of here.

Ah, the car is
not going anywhere

until we have a look at.

Mr. Stone.

No hands, please.

Oh, sorry.

I can't believe Franz was
killed just so a couple of kids

could go joyriding.

Did you have any luck with
that dink that you caught?

Now, what kind of
language is that?

I'm sorry.

Didn't mean anything by it.

I'll let you know
if we find anything

out after we release the car.

Good.

Uh, we'd appreciate that.

Shall we go?

You OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Sergeant Hunter!

It's him.

That's the guy.

That's Slice.

- You sure about that?
- Yeah.

McCall.

Look who Ben found.

Ron Miller aka Slice.

I'll get an address on the guy.

Good work, Ben.

You do great work, Tran.

I'll take it.

My father and his father
before him were very respected

diamond cutters in Vietnam.

Well, you've learned well.

I can never repay your kindness

for what you have done for Ben.

He's not the one who IDed Slice.

I did.

Sergeant Hunter, I would
like very much for you

to have dinner with us tonight.

Well, if it's not too
much of an imposition,

I'd like that very much,

Ben and I would
consider it a great honor.

Tran, the meal is delicious.

Thank you very much.

I don't think I've had
authentic Vietnamese food for...

Well, it's been some time.

Sometimes I find
it difficult to get

all the ingredients here.

That's why when
you live in America,

you should eat American food.

I think it's nice to have both.

Why don't you clear the table?

Sergeant Hunter,
I have something

to show you in the living room.

Certainly.

I thought you might
want to see this.

She was beautiful, wasn't she?

That was taken
years before we met.

I know.

I have the same
photograph at home.

Why are you showing him that?

Oh, I just thought he
might find it interesting.

The only one who finds old
photos of Vietnam interesting

is you.

There's nothing wrong
remembering how things were.

There is if it keeps you
from accepting how things are!

You must understand,
it is not easy being

caught between two worlds.

Ben is trying so hard to fit in.

I know that.

It's probably one of the
reasons he's in so much trouble.

Danny, telephone line three.

Hello, Danny Martin here.

I want my cut of the
diamonds and I want 'em now.

What the hell is your problem?

I got a call from my landlady.

A cop's been checking me out.

The dink must've spotted
me in the mug book.

I gotta get out of town.

All right, Slice man, relax.

You relax.

Be at my place in
15 minutes or you're

gonna find out how
I got my nickname.

Don't get too comfortable.

I just got a possible
address on Slice.

I thought you said his landlady

didn't give you anything?

Oh, no, she didn't.

I checked with the post office.

This guy is so intelligent,
he's having his mail forwarded.

Oh, I love smart crooks.

Shot once with a large caliber.

Could have been the same .45
that was used to kill Rankle.

I'm betting 10 to 1 it is.

If that's true, Ben could
be an awful lot of danger.

Yeah.

I'm going to set up
surveillance on Tran's house.

Drop me off.

I'll go talk to
Stone and Martin.

Sergeant Hunter.

Why is there policemen?

What's wrong?

Ron Miller, the
man Ben identified,

was found shot to
death in his apartment.

Is the killer after Ben?

Well, we're not sure.

But just to play it safe,
we're going to keep the house

and Ben under surveillance.

I promised Mr. Zelta I'd
recut a diamond for him.

He's coming for it today.

I'd better call him and tell
him I'm staying home today.

Yeah, look, Tran, why don't
you go ahead and go to work?

I'll stay here with Ben.

It'll be all right.

Ben, I'll see you later, huh?

Yeah right.

He has such a sense of duty...

To rich fat cat customers.

What's the problem, Ben?

You're kind of tough on
your father, aren't you?

He's a good man.

He's done nothing but love you.

Yeah, my mother told
me my father is dead,

but I know that's not true.

You see, he was some GI who
got lonely during his tour.

So he did a number on my mom
about how much he loved her

and all that.

Then he went back to
stateside and forgot all

about her and me.

Well, maybe he
didn't know about you.

Oh, yeah right.

DET.

We think that
he was one of the men that

stole your car off the lot.

No, I've... I've
never seen him here.

But I'll show it around the
sales meeting tomorrow morning.

Maybe somebody has.

Well, good, I appreciate that.

You know, it's possible that
he came in posing as a customer

to check out your security.

Mm-hm.

I don't understand any of this.

I mean, why all this bloodshed
over a simple car theft?

We're trying to figure
that out, Mr. Martin.

I have been in this
business for 30 years.

I have never seen
anything like this.

Well, I'll answer it.

Kids are just nuts today.

I mean, they run around,
they're hopped up

on drugs, armed to the teeth.

What kind of a society
are we living in?

Let me know if any of your
salesmen recognize that man,

would you?

I will, Sergeant.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ken, uh, when is
Danny coming in?

I've got some invoices
I need him to sign.

Oh, I gave him the day off.

He said he had
some errands to do.

Oh, by the way, bring those
invoices up to my office.

I'll take care of them myself.

Right, right.

I'm gonna need you.

Tell me again you
don't know anything

about the diamonds, Danny boy.

Tell the Dutchman here.

Diamonds?

What the hell are you
talking about, Jack?

Wait till my uncle
hears about this!

Hey!

Don't treat me like a fool.

The cop showed me
a mug shot of a guy

I've seen you hanging out with.

So what?

OK!

OK!

I'll tell you where.

They're in my car,
they're behind the...

Behind the... the radio speakers.

Check it out.

Besides your, uh, buddy,
who else was in on this?

Nobody.

You really are a ruthless
little sly, aren't you?

Hmm?

I'm... I'm shocked, Danny.

I'm really shocked.

So what put you on to our
little enterprise, Danny?

Hmm?

I heard you talking in the
office next door with Franz.

You didn't know I was there.

Ah, you saw an
opportunity to get ahead.

Do you think you
can fence diamonds

like car stereos, huh, Danny?

Hmm?

Not only do you steal from
me, but you whack my cover.

Who, Franz?

Oh.

So you don't know
everything. after all, huh?

A good diamond cutter is more
valuable than the stones,

Danny.

Hey, I had my own
cutter all lined up.

The dink's old man.

We were gonna hold
the kid hostage,

and then the old man was
gonna do the diamonds for us.

He could still do it.

You may be smarter than
I thought, Danny boy.

Uh, wait here for me, Ben.

OK.

Danny Martin, huh?

Yeah.

One small caliber slug shot
to the back of the head.

Ben.

You feel like making an
ID on this gentleman?

I've seen dead people before.

Is this Speed?

Yeah.

If Danny wanted to take a joy
ride, why would he steal a car?

Now, Ben, that
night at the car lot,

was there anybody else there
besides Speed and Slice?

What do you mean?

Well, did you see
them talking to anybody?

No.

Like I said, they were
just out to grab the car.

They broke through the gate
and were looking through all

the windows with a flashlight.

What were they looking
for, keys in the ignition?

I don't think so.
They broke in.

Wait a minute.

Were they looking in
the windows or were they

looking at the stickers
on the windows?

Yeah.

They were reading the stickers.

I remember now.

Yeah, they were looking
for one specific car.

Jack, telephone line four.

This one's too slow for you.

I don't know where else to go.

I've run background checks
on everybody that works here,

and they're all clean.

Let's check out Rankle.

Why?

Guy was a victim.

I know.

Let's check him out anyway.

OK.

Let's go, Ben.

Ah, goodnight, Owen.

Goodnight, Mr. Nyuen.

Come with me.

Quietly.

It doesn't look
like anybody's home.

Maybe I should come in and
wait until your dad gets back.

Look, I don't need him.

And I don't need a babysitter.

Ben.

I told you, I don't
need a babysitter.

Why don't you just
leave me alone?

What do you know
about me anyway?

I know your father
married your mother

when you and she had nothing.

He brought you to this country,
he gave you a good home

and loved you.

And when you got in
trouble, he called me.

Yeah.

Yeah, why you?

Why not some other cop?

Because he knew I was the
only one that would help you.

But he told me he
never met you before.

He was telling
you the truth, Ben.

He'd never met me before.

But your mother had.

I'm your father, Ben.

I knew it.

All of a sudden, there's this
cop who's helping me out.

I should have seen it.

Ben, listen to me.

Why didn't you
tell me that before?

Because I didn't
know how you'd take it.

No.

No, you just didn't
think I was worth it!

That's not true,
and you know it.

Yeah, it is.

Or maybe just too damn ashamed
to have a half-breed for a son.

That's not true.
Ben!

Damn you!

Ben!

Ben!

1 William 1 56.

56, go.

Meet
Sergeant McConnell on tag 7.

Hunter.

Hunter, I'm down
at the diamond mart.

Two guys just came in and
snatched Mr. Nyuen Tran.

The security guard
saw the whole thing.

He called the black and white.

We have any ID on the two guys?

From what he said, it
sounds like one of them

could have been Stone.

Ah.

Oh, nice work, Mr. Nyuen.

But you're going to
have to hurry it up.

You see, time is not one
of our luxuries here.

OK?

You know, if you do a really
exceptional job here today,

we...

We could make this
a regular thing.

You know, cut you in.

On the other hand, screw this
job up even a little bit,

Dutchman will have to
break all your fingers.

Yeah, OK.

All right, keep me posted.

What do you got
on Tran, anything?

No.

That was McCall.

She was phoning from
Stone's apartment.

It's clean as a whistle.

Looks like he cleared out.

Damn!

They gotta be here
somewhere, Charlie.

Look, I can tell that
you're upset about Ben,

but he's gonna turn up.

We'll find him.

Yeah.

You know, that boy's
been angry for so long.

I just felt as though
if I didn't tell him,

he'd go on being angry
the rest of his life.

Well.

For what it's worth, I think
you made the right decision.

Yeah?

Right, Bill.

17 years of age, Amerasian,
5' 9", about 145 pounds.

Last seen wearing jeans, a jeans
jacket, white tennis shoes.

Right.

He's on foot, so he probably
hasn't gone very far.

Great, appreciate it.

What's up?

You were right about Rankle.

He is new at selling cars.

He used to be cutting
diamonds over in Austria.

They were smuggling diamonds.

Got an address on Rankle?

Yeah, 75 West
Hillshire in Hollywood.

Great.

Superlative.

I told you you could work
with speed and precision

at the same time.

All you needed was
a little faith.

Kill him!

Ah!

Freeze, police!

Ah!

Tran?

Hey, Tran.

Just relax.

You're gonna be OK.

Harrison, RA unit immediately.

Code 3.

Just it easy.

You're gonna be OK.

How you doing?

Very tired.

Have you been here long?

I've been here since
they brought you in, Tran.

You've been in surgery
for about three hours.

There are things
I must say to you.

Just rest.

We'll still talk
about them later.

No, no.

This has to be said now.

You saved my life, and in
other way saved my son's life.

You have done more
than I could hope for.

Thank you.

I'm the one that
should thank you, Tran.

You brought Ben into my life.

Father.

When I got home, policemen
told me what happened.

I would have been
here sooner, but...

It's all right.

You're here now.

This is all my
fault. I'm so sorry.

It's all right.

Everything is going
to be all right.

Volunteer to admitting.

Volunteer to admitting.

He's sleeping now.

I hope he'll be OK.

Ben, he's going to be just fine.

He just needs some
time to heal is all.

You hungry?

No.

Think I'll just stay
here until he wakes up.

Dr. Carter to ICU.

I can't change what's happened
to you over the last 17 years,

Ben.

I just want you to know that
right now I just want to be

your friend, if you'll let me.

All these years I wondered who
you were, what you were like.

I wondered if I was
anything like you.

I just wanted to know
who my father was.

Well, now you know.

You should also
know that you've had

a father for the last 17 years.

A good man.

A man that's loved
you, raised you,

given you a good home,
worried about you.

I think that's a pretty good
definition of fatherhood.

I'd just like to be a
part of your life, Ben,

if you'll let me.

That's up to you.

I'm gonna come by and see
your father tomorrow morning.

You think about it.

Hey, Rick.

I guess I am kind of hungry.
