All language subtitles for Hunter S06E08 - Shield of Honor

Tonight on "Hunter."

Jack here's gonna be
your detective trainee.

Welcome aboard.

Thanks.

Let's get to work.

I asked for you two to be
his training officers because I

knew that you would be fair.

We'll shoot right down
the center with him.

If he gives you top marks,
it'll impress the higher-ups.

Don't worry about it.
I'll score.

He's clean.

You leave Darnell alone!

Drop the gun, cop!

You're not gonna make
it out of here alive.

Shoot him, Darnell!

Do it and you're dead!

Won't give you guys any trouble.

Stay cool.

Shut up!

I give the orders!

Now, take out your piece.

Put it on the ground.

Easy.

Kick it away.

Good.

Now, give me the money.

Toss it.

What should I do with him, huh?

Let him go, man!
Come on, leave him alone!

Come on!

Well, it's your lucky day, pop.

Surprise.

How much money was
Mr. Flanders carrying?

I... I know exactly how much.

It's what we paid out yesterday.

It's $56,000.

$56,000?

Why didn't you use an
armored car service?

Well, um, the profit margin at
an operation like this is slim.

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

Yeah.

OK, 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,

but 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.

And Mr. Flanders
didn't do that?

He'd be at the
bank when it opened

and arrive here
20 minutes later.

You could set your watch by him.

Apparently, somebody did.

Hey, Hunter.

Come here a sec.

You want to see me?

Hey.

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, uh, Wild
Bill Ryan was my TO

when I first made detective.

Well, now you can
return the favor.

Jack here is going to be
your detective trainee.

Ah.

I want him to join
you and McCall on that,

uh, check cashing 211 homicide
that went down this morning.

You passed your D1, huh?

Yeah.

Last month.

Passed with flying colors.
Look at that.

That the test?

Let's see here.

OK, graduated from the
Academy, top marks.

Well, we knew that.

Worked narcotics, bookmaking,
South End vice, huh?

Racked up a great record with
surveillance units, Jack.

Very impressive.

Now, does McCall know that,
uh, 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 that?

Well, uh, no.

No movement as of yet.

You know, I'm kind of
concerned about this.

I think we got a real
nut case 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, my
licence not good enough?

I need two IDs with
your current address.

The check's 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 myself.

Go get him.

Sorry, we can't help you.

You need the proper ID.

Thanks a lot, pal.

I saw the manager, man.

Some dork in a $0.50 tie.

I'll give him a new
one in the morning.

Hey, man.

No killing this time.

You worry too much, man.

- Hey.
- 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 it um...

What's her name, Angelica?

Yes, it was.

- The flamingo girl?
- Yes, it was.

Ooh.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, listen, I can 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, uh, are
working on a pretty hot one.

Yep, real hot.

Take a look at that.

Ho-ho-ho.

Bad looking crowd.

Is Jackman 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, uh, not give him any slack
just because I'm his father.

We'll shoot right down
the center with him.

Thanks, I counted on that.

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

Yeah, 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

that would curl your hair.

You think his son is like him?

Yeah, chip off the old block.

I hope it works out.
I like him too.

Yeah, so do I.

So tell me, what
do you have here?

Oh.

Number one, John Leander.

Serving time in
Attica for robbery,

assault with a deadly weapon.

Presently serving a life
sentence in Mississippi State

Penitentiary.

Now, here's the one I'm
going 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.

12 counts of assault. Now,
look at the weapon 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, near Beverly.

What do you got?

The victim was Juan Martinez.

He owned the place.

Got hit coming
back from the bank.

12 gauge double aut.

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.

Oh, there's more
than one of them?

Yeah, but she never
saw their faces.

OK, thank you.

I'll need your
notes before you go.

OK.

Due to the spacing
of the pellets,

I'd say the shooter
couldn't have been

more than 7 or 8 feet away.

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

So he was standing,
uh, 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.

All right.

Well, you were right about
how close that shooter was.

Check out the powder marks.

Hunter.

I heard that Jack lost it today.

Oh, he looked like he
was chumming 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 I did the same thing.

You did?

No, I didn't.

Hi, Dad.

Yeah.

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...

I understand all that.

You know, the department is
full of bright and aggressive

guys.

Only the best make
it in the ranks.

You gotta 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 score.

I know my stuff.

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

OK, you two, break it up.

No more cop talk, please.

Ah.

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

You're a champ.

You're gonna do great.

Don't you have time for a swim?

Not right now, Mom.

Well, at least stay for lunch.

No, I... I gotta
get back to work.

I'll see you later.

Jack.

Give 'em hell.

Bill.

Stop pushing him so hard.

Eh, I'm just giving
him a little advice.

That was more than
advice, and you know it.

Linda.

When are you gonna learn?

He's not Billy.

Ray, where's Captain Devane?

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

You might try the
lunch room first.

Lunch room?

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

Excuse me.

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 4 and 1/2
p... actually 4 pounds

and, uh, 9 ounces in the
last 2 and 1/2 months.

Well, it's actually 11 weeks,
so almost three months.

This is dead food.

Nutritionally, it's not dead.

This is 70% oat bran.

They could feed this to... what
do we got on the Nickens case?

Look, uh, I talked
with Dwight Lindemann.

That's Nickens' parole officer.

And he says if in fact
Nickens is our boy,

we got a real
problem on our hands.

It seems he likes to drive
around in his pickup truck

with a shotgun under
the front seat.

What's his specialty?

Petty theft.

Assault, 12 counts.

Hm, nice.

Sounds like a lovely fella.
- Yeah.

But what's he got to
do with our problem?

Well, I don't know as of yet.

I do know there's a
possibility he may

be working with somebody else.
Hey, Jack.

Captain.

I just got off the phone
with prison officials

from Vacaville.

I found out when Nickens
served time there

his cellmate was a guy
named Robert 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.

Do we have an address
on Nickens at all?

Yeah.

He still lives with his mother.

He's supposed to be
a real mama's boy.

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

OK, let's find McCall.

Dead food.

- Who is it?
- Police.

Open up.

What do you want?

Looking for a 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 has better things
to do than hang around here.

Yes, ma'am.

If you had any brains,
you'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.

The backyard's clean.

There's nobody out there.
- OK.

Idiots!

I told you he wasn't here.

Ms. 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, uh, tell Robert
Stark I said hello.

Get out of my house right now.

Get out right now.

Get out!

OK.

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, huh?

I don't know.

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

lying through her teeth.

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

Have we got that covered?

Yeah.

Hunter and Jack
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.

This is William 56.

Two possible 187 suspects
at my code five location.

Request backup.

Code 2.

Roger, William 56.

Ma.

Darnell, what are
you doing here?

Came by to see you, Mom.

Oh, Darnell.

I brought you a present.

Oh.

For my best girl.

Oh, Darnell,
these are 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... did they
give you any trouble?

They pushed me around.

You know how cops are.

Damn!

Come on, let's split!

Are you OK?

I'll be all right.

Don't worry, Ma.

OK?

I'll be back.

Darnell.

- I love you, Ma.
- You'd better go.

They're leaving.

What about backup?

William 56, our 187
suspects are rabbiting.

We're going in.

1 Adam 27.

187 suspects are
leaving code 5 location.

What is your ETA?

1 Adam 27.

ETA approximately three minutes.

- Freeze!
- Police!

Get away from the car!

On the middle of the lawn!

Clasp your hands
behind your head.

Turn around!

Move it!

Come on!

Drop to your knees.

Cross your legs.

All right, go ahead.

I got him.

Hey.

You're the one who,
uh, 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!

Oh!

Don't even think about it.

Drop the gun, cop!

That's not gonna
happen, Nickens.

Shoot him, Darnell!

Shut up, Mrs. Nickens,
and sit on the porch.

Hey, you don't
tell her what to do!

You're not gonna make
it out of here alive.

Now, just drop the gun.

No?

Ugh!

I thought you said he was clean!

- Charlie.
- Commander.

I, uh, understand that, uh,
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 him?

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 have.

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, uh, 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 he's aced all of them.

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

Yes, sir.

- Hey, John.
- Hey, Hunter.

How you doing?

What's happening, brother?

Hey, listen, uh...

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

Won't get me in
trouble, will they?

No, no, no, no, no.

You were partnered with
him for a while, we're you?

- That's right.
- Yeah.

Well, how was it?
How'd he do?

He was fine.

I wrote his evaluation.

You'll 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 partnered
with the kid right now.

There's a couple of things
about him that bother me.

Buy you a cup of coffee?

Sure.

Yeah, well, I told you it
wasn't gonna be easy out there.

Everything you do counts for
you or counts against you.

I understand all that.

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.

Ah.

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, it 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 OK.

All right?

It's going to 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!

Man, we ain't gonna get caught.

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

Mm!

Live like kings.

You gonna bring
your mommy along too?

Hey.

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.

Man, 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.

- Oh yeah?
- No thanks.

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

Look, I've never missed
a gun during a frisk.

That's not what I'm
talking about, 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 in my record, huh?

Because your superiors give
you top marks to get you out

of their divisions so
they don't have to monkey

around with you father.

You're really out
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.

You got doubts about
me, put it in my record.

Otherwise, back off
and let me do my job!

Hey.

Just got a message
from Stevenson

Check Cashing over on Pico.

The manager IDed Stark
off of our bulletin.

Said that he was
casing the place out

right before it closed.

Good.

Let's make sure he's not alone.

When Henderson comes back
from making his bank run,

he'll be traveling north
on Desmond Boulevard.

He'll 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 a 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 alley way

up on the roof.

Is that correct?

OK.

Now, we'll keep the
front of the store

clear, all except for our
surveillance vehicle here.

Jack, that's where
you're gonna 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?
- No.

OK, 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 gonna 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.

Why 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 have to.

You're putting too
much pressure on Jack.

You can't force him to
be something 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 job.

And I wish you'd
let Jack do his.

Hunter, homicide.

Hi.

Well... yeah, I
know where it's at.

Uh, 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, Rick.

Well, you're welcome.

What's, uh... what's going on?

Uh... it's about Bill.

What about Bill?

Could we go inside?

Yeah.

DET.

Ryan, anything stirring?

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

White 1.

Henderson's in sight.

Arrive at your
location in 10 seconds.

Copy that, Green?

Uh, copy that, and I'm ready.

Henderson's in place.

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

They'll show.

Just give 'em time.

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

- Make a U.
- What?

I 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?

It's them.

Jack, hold your position.

Repeat, hold your position till
we get around to the front.

Give me the money!

Now!
- OK, OK!

I'm trying to get...

Shut your mouth!

Cops, man!

We're made!

Son of a...

Ah!

Come on, man!

You don't listen
very good, do you?

I thought I could stop him.

That's your problem.

Don't think!

Commander.

Hey, what's this all about?

Jack disobeyed direct
orders and nearly get 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.

Man, 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.

I know that.

Billy, you had a
nervous breakdown.

Now, wait a minute.

Linda... Linda told you?

She loves you very much, Billy.

She had no right to do that.

What else did she tell you?

The thing that pulled
you out of that depression

was when Jack came
to you one day

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.

Hunter.

Hunter.

Jack just took off.

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

Wait a minute,
I'm coming with you.

What is it?

Police.

You have no right
coming in here like that!

Who do you think you are?

You going somewhere?

Palm Springs.

I'm taking a vacation!

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!

You're lying!

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, yeah, that's about it.

He pushed 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 know what?

You shouldn't have
pushed my mother around.

Hmm?

What should I do with him, Ma?

Kill him.

OK, if that's what you want.

That's what I want.

Goodnight, cop.

Darnell, there's
somebody out there.

Cop.

Look out, Jack!

No, no!
Darnell!

No, Darnell!

No, Darnell!

Oh, my baby!
My baby!

Oh, my baby!
My baby!

My baby!

No!

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.
