Tonight, on "hunter."

You know what's out there?

He's a pathological killer.

-You want a menu, or you wanna just choose from the buffet?

-All right.

That's it.

Hollow point.

-All four women killed with a 9mm round.

9mm as in police issue?

How are you?

You look good.

What are you doing here?

-I was just in the area, kicking around.

A couple of girls saw Dina being pulled out

of the hotel by a uniformed cop.

-Freeze right there, Kent!

Police!

You ready to go, honey?

I said, are we ready to go?

-Yeah, well, uh, i, uh, I guess so.

-Well, you, uh, you want a menu, or you

just wanna choose from the buffet?

-Maybe a glass of water?

-Honey, I don't serve water.

Look, could we maybe just slow down a little bit?

-This is about as slow as it's gonna get.

-All right, that's it.

You, over there.

-What did I do?

-Face against the wall, and don't move.

-Well, do you mind if I get dressed?

-Do it.

You're lucky.

Tonight, you get a pass.

Well, beat it.

-Thank you, thank you.

-You didn't see any money change hands, you know,

and I know that for a fact.

-Tell it to the court, honey.

You're under arrest for 647b.

-You got nothing to bust me on.

Oh, are you gonna tell me two consenting adults can't do it?

Hey, hey, how about I give you a discount?

We talk about your mother.

-Let's go.

-Easy.

-What are you doing?

-There's this woman waving her arms at me.

Hi.

-What are you, asleep?

That's Debbie small.

Don't you remember Debbie from Pierce high?

-Of course.

Hunter, homicide.

-How are you?

You look good.

What are you doing here?

-I was just in the area, kicking around.

I thought I'd stop by and say hello.

-Well, I am glad you did.

But I mean, what are you doing here in California?

I thought you were down in Florida with your mom.

-Hi, Debbie.

-Hi.

Oh, well, I'm just out here for a couple weeks

seeing some friends.

-Uh, we just got a 187 downtown.

-Oh, all right.

I'll join you. - I'll take it.

Go on.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah, you go ahead and chat.

See you.

-Well, you buzz me if you need me.

Great.

Well, the worst cup of coffee I know about's right next door.

Are you game?

-Let's do it.

-Ok, you can let the kids go.

Keep sweeping the area.

Let me know if anything turns up.

Donna.

How you doing, hon?

-Hi, hunter.

I got here as soon as I could.

What've we got?

-Well, you tell me.

Oh my god.

It's Dina coolidge.

-What can you tell me about this person?

-Well, last night a couple of girls working the same block

saw Dina being pulled out of the hotel by a uniformed cop.

-Uniformed cop?

One officer?

That's what they said.

-That doesn't sound right.

I need you to set up that meeting with those girls

as soon as you can, huh?

Poor Dina.

She's been up to the center a couple of times.

Pimp beat her up, John shook her down.

We'd talk, patch her up, she'd go right back to street again.

God, hunter, this is four in the last two months, isn't it?

-Yeah, same mo.

Large caliber bullet, close range, handcuffs.

I'm very sorry about her.

-Oh, it's this amazing place.

It has, like, five bedrooms, this pool, this huge garage

with all these old cars in it.

Dave's really into old cars.

-Dave?

Who's... who's Dave?

-My stepdad.

Ever since my mom remarried, like, since when I was 8,

I've been calling him Dave, so...

-Wasn't he the guy you didn't get along too well with?

I thought you said he didn't like you too much.

-Yeah, I guess.

Well, his law firm's doing better,

so he's not always bitching and moaning

like he did before I moved out here.

-Good.

You know, it sounds a lot better, Debbie.

-Yeah, I guess.

I still miss my friends and my dad.

I took flowers to the grave today.

-That's nice.

You know, it seems to me like you've got a lot of good things

to look forward to for yourself.

-Mhm.

-So what do you want to do?

-I don't know.

My mom wants me to going to college,

but I'd like to take a year just to get my head together.

-I don't think that's such a bad idea.

Do you think maybe you might want to stay out here?

-Yeah, yeah.

Maybe get a job and try to survive for a while.

-It can be a little rough being 18 all on you own.

-Well, it's rougher living in a condo

in Fort Lauderdale with two elderly people.

-Yeah, well, I see your point.

-Yeah.

-Not as rough as this coffee.

I don't think we better drink any more of this.

Looks like it's in one piece.

Wanna hand me that evidence bag?

9mm hollow point.

Want me to clean it?

-No, ballistics will do that.

Thank you.

No problem.

-Ah.

-Sorry I'm late.

-That's ok.

We're on our way down to ballistics.

I'll fill you in on the way down.

-McCall, you missed a great craniotomy.

-What a shame.

-There's a match if I ever saw.

There.

Take a look at that.

All four women killed with a 9mm round.

-Hmm.

9mm, as in police issue?

-Perhaps.

We'll see, wont we.

Thanks.

-I'll get in touch with the watch commander,

get a list of all the officers that were in the area

where the victims were found.

-Great.

I'll try and get a hold of Dina's John.

-Let me know.

-Yeah.

-Homicide, McCall.

Yes, I have a long-distance call for you

from Florida.

Go ahead, please.

Oh, hello, sgt. McCall.

This is Judy Miller, Debbie's mother.

Do you remember me?

We spoke at Jack's funeral.

-Yes.

Uh, hi, Mrs. Miller.

How are you?

Well, I'm fine, thank you.

I'm sorry to bother you, but, uh, well, I

know that you and Debbie developed a pretty good

relationship when her father was killed.

-Uh, yeah.

You know, I saw her just today.

-You did?

-Yeah, she seemed to be fine and looking

forward to the future and everything.

You sound worried.

Well, I am.

Since she left the house, we've heard less and less from her.

I know she's 18 and I can't legally make her come home,

but I wish she would.

-Mrs. Miller, I was, uh, under the impression that Debbie had

your blessings when she came out here.

-Well, she didn't exactly leave on good terms.

She had a blowup with her stepdad.

-Oh, yeah.

She said that they'd had a rocky past,

but, uh, I thought that they were getting along better.

Well, I just want

to talk to her to see if she's ok.

-Well, I'll tell you what.

I will, uh, call her.

I've got her number sitting around here somewhere,

and I'll give her the message.

How's that?

-Thank you.

I'm really very sorry to bother you.

-No, that's ok.

I'm glad you called.

Bye bye.

13-a-43, Roger.

You're code four.

All units code four.

The 459's there now.

651 east 12th.

-Thank you.

You girls ever, uh, work for a sketch artist?

-Oh, yeah.

This guy down in venice painted me for some kind of tool

and die calendar.

-Well, this sketch artist works a little different, I bet.

Now, look I want you take a look at these police officers.

If any one of these looks familiar and might

be the guy that came out of the hotel that night,

I want you to flag it with one of these, ok?

And I wanna thank you for bringing them down.

-Hey, they want this creep off the street

as much as I want them off the street.

-Donna, take a look at this stud muffin.

-What's up?

-I, uh, cross-checked the last places the four victims were

seen alive against where their bodies were found.

There's a total of 39 uniformed officers that

were either in one place or the other.

-Now, were any of the officers linked by a common location?

-Yeah, there were three of them.

There was officer, uh, bill park, central; Jim Scott,

central; And John Washington, rampart.

That picture's coming.

What about ballistics?

Ballistics is doing a test firing.

There's no results yet.

-Ok.

I'll take the girls down to see the sketch artist.

Uh, are you expecting anybody?

-No.

Oh, but I'm glad she's here.

-Ah.

How are you guys?

-Well, we'd all like to know if officer mcknight is single.

Nothing.

-Let's go see the sketch artist.

-Sgt. Hunter, who's that girl over there?

She's a friend of sgt. McCall's.

Why?

-I don't know.

She looked familiar.

-Come on.

-I think I'm starting to like the coffee here.

-Oh, big mistake.

Pretty soon, you'll be wanting to order the tuna melt.

-Bad?

-Oh, yeah.

They don't use tuna.

-I'm sorry I missed your message last night.

I got in late and crashed.

So what's up?

-Your mother called me.

-My mother?

I can't believe it.

-She sounded kind of concerned about you.

-I know.

That's what mothers are supposed to do.

She wants me to come home, and I want to make it on my own.

-Does your stepfather want you to come home too?

-Look, I don't see why we have to talk about my family life.

-Well, we don't have to.

It's just that... look, your mom called.

She sounded kind of upset.

It's not such a big deal.

Why don't you just pick up the phone

and call them and let them know you're all right?

-I'd just rather order the tuna melt.

-No, believe me, you wouldn't.

Call them, all right?

-Ballistics cleared the three officers.

If they were out shooting hookers,

they were not using departmental issues.

-Charlie, from the description the girls gave us,

our shooter was in black.

-All right.

So that leaves Washington and any one of 3,500 other officers

who might have been out taking target

practice in their spare time.

-Look, Charlie.

It's not a cop.

It's an imposter.

-All right, i'm with you on this.

I'm in your camp.

But I cannot leave one stone unturned, all right?

I want you to get that sketch to every divisional captain.

-Ok.

-I want to make sure we don't have a witch hunt here.

Devane.

Yeah.

Ok.

Someone to see you.

He says he's got some information

about the hooker shootings.

-Yeah, yeah.

That's her, just the way she was described in the papers.

Look, look, I got a couple of kids.

My wife doesn't know about me, about any of this.

-Look, Earl, how you decide what you do with your family

is your business, ok?

-I understand.

Now, let's talk about the guy who came in the room

that night.

-The policeman?

-Yes.

-All right.

-Take a look at him.

-No.

-Does this guy fit?

-Uh-uh.

-What about him?

-I'm sorry.

-Ok.

What do you think of that?

-Yeah, this guy's a lot closer.

Good.

You and I will go down to see the sketch artist.

1-Adam-9, Roger.

You're code seven.

13-a-43, Roger.

You're code four.

651 east 12th.

All units, code four.

The 459's there now.

13-a-46, report your code six location.

-Look, cheezie, this guy's playing for keeps.

Forget about your driver.

There's a killer out there.

-Forget about him?

Look, Donna, I know you want me off the streets waiting tables.

But my man don't, and he's got powerful ways

of making his point.

-You can stay at the center.

It's secure.

We can help you.

-Yeah, they got hot and cold running water too.

-Kelly, what are you doing?

-Stretching my legs.

Don't worry, I'm not cruising.

-Where'd you get this?

-I'm helping the police distribute as many as I can.

Cheez, does your pimp know there's

a killer walking the streets?

-All he knows is that there's paying customers out there,

and he wants me bringing him cash.

-All right.

I want to talk to him.

-Honey, you're gonna have to take

your social work somewhere else.

-Hey!

-So what do you want?

-Oh, I don't know.

Weren't you at the cop shop this morning?

-No.

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

-You're friends with whatshisname's partner.

-I don't have any friends.

-Yeah?

Well, a quail like you ain't gonna

last very long on the streets without one.

-Who was that?

-I don't know.

I thought she was carrying a badge.

-What makes you think she isn't?

-Cops rehearse their parts.

She didn't even know what I was talking about.

-Runaway?

-I don't know.

You know what?

Ask that the detective we... We were talking to today.

- Hunter? - Yeah.

He told me that that chick was supposed

to be his partner's friend.

I don't know.

-Get off the streets, ok, Kelly?

-I am just trying to find "architectural digest."

-I am just trying to find "architectural digest."

-No, thanks.

I don't think it sounds like something i'm

too interested in.

So what are we waiting for?

-Hey, what's going on?

What's going on?

-Get out of here, lady.

-Could I see some ID, officer?

-Get the hell outta here.

-Come on, honey.

Let's go.

No!

Run!

Get out of here!

-So, uh, after the shot, the girl

comes running out screaming.

So I grab her.

I didn't know whether she was wounded

or stoned or just scared, you know?

-Did you see the guy who fired the shot?

-Well, the girl said it was some cop.

-I know.

But did you see him?

-No, man.

He didn't come out this way, and, uh,

I wasn't going running after him, you know?

-Ok.

Stick around.

I may want to talk to you a little bit later on, ok?

-Yeah, you got it.

-Thanks.

Appreciate it.

-What've we got?

-The victim was Donna Carlisle.

-What?

What happened?

-The intended victim is inside the manager's office.

I, uh, I think you should go talk to her.

You know, you lied to your mom, your stepdad.

You lied to me.

You know, I thought that we were friends, Debbie.

-We are.

-We are?

I always thought that friends were supposed

to be completely honest with each other.

Look, whether you like it or not,

you're unfortunately involved in a homicide.

Now, it's somebody that we knew and we

worked with out on the streets.

God, I can't believe you're a prostitute.

You've got to be really proud of the way

you're making it on your own.

-No, I needed the money.

I don't do this all the time.

-What the hell does that mean?

Is that supposed to make it ok?

Hey, look, I am not pulling a whole lot

a heartstrings for you right now.

-Please, you don't understand.

-Look, I'll take you downtown, print you, photo you,

just like any girl we pick up off the streets.

Get your statement on the shooting,

put you on a plane back to Florida,

and you can tell anybody anything you want.

Now, get your stuff together.

There'll be somebody down here in a minute

to take you downtown.

Well, it's pretty faint,

but the cyanoacrylate has developed

something we might be able to use.

We're lucky we got to this one as soon as we did.

-I think two is as many as we're gonna get.

-Yeah, I think you're right.

-Ok.

I'll take them down to the computer,

run them through, and see what turns up.

-What's the deal?

-Well, all we got were a couple of prints.

-Well, I'll run them down for you.

-That's all right, I'll do it.

-No, that's ok.

You have a very scared young lady

in our division who wants to talk to you.

I'll run them.

-Thanks.

You wanted to talk?

-I don't want to go home.

Look, I could just get up and walk right out of here

if I wanted to.

-Yeah, I didn't press any charges,

if that's what you mean.

But you know what's out there?

A pathological killer that knows that you can identify him.

You wanna take that chance?

-But what am I supposed to do?

It's been kinda rough these past couple months, you know.

-You know, Debbie, it's really hard for me

to understand that you thought that prostitution was

gonna help you out of a rough time.

Come on, I thought you were smarter than that.

-I want to talk to you.

Why, so you can lie to me again?

You know, I went out on a limb for you

because I thought you were worth it.

-I'm sorry.

-Look, here's a quarter.

Why don't you go call your mom and tell

her you're coming home?

There's a phone out by the elevators

there's a phone out by the elevators

there's a phone out by the elevators

there's a phone out by the elevators

-excuse me.

The pay phone?

-Homicide, McCall.

Kent, Roy Joseph.

2345 royal canyon road, Los Angeles, California.

He comes on the computer as a 647b.

He was the John in the bust.

-Prostitution, huh?

Got a good match?

- I - got a real good match.

I'm on my way up there right now.

Listen, put his license plate up on the wire...

2-Paul-Mary-ocean-1-6-3.

It should be a 1984 tan impala four-door sedan.

-Ok, I got it.

I'll get it right out.

Listen, keep Debbie

around for a little while.

We may have ourselves a little lineup for her to look at.

-Ok, will do.

-Need a ride?

-No, I'm fine.

-I said, do you need a ride?

All units, warrant

on license 2-Paul-Mary-ocean-1-6-3.

If seen, detain and notify central division homicide.

How we doing around the back?

At the back, it's a go.

Ok, we all go on three.

Got it?

On three.

One, two, three.

Hey, Rick.

-Yeah?

-I think you better check it out in here.

The guy's a regular police junkie.

-McCall.

McCall, hunter.

-Did we get him?

-No, we didn't get him.

The place is empty.

No one's been here.

His bed hasn't been slept in.

But we do have ourselves a pretty

interesting collection of evidence.

You oughta see this place.

It's like a police shrine.

-All right, look.

Debbie walked out of here maybe 10, 15 minutes ago.

I've got a broadcast out on her and Kent's impala.

-I'll be in the office in about a half hour.

See you then.

Bye.

All units, code

four at 2345 royal canyon road.

'84 impala, 2-Paul-Mary-ocean-1-6-3,

not at suspect's house.

-Look, I won't say anything.

-Shut up.

If located, apprehend

and notify 1-William-1-56.

-They've been to my house.

Dammit, they've been to my house.

They can't do that.

-Ow, please stop.

You're hurting me.

-You stay.

-What are you doing?

-Shut the hell up.

647b, prostitution, you pay.

288a, you pay.

785, you pay.

-What are you talking about?

-You know what I'm talking about.

Don't do that.

-Don't hurt me, please.

I won't tell.

I won't say anything.

Nobody's gonna know.

Nobody's gonna know.

-McCall, they found the car.

I got a call out to hunter.

He'll meet you there.

-Great, thanks.

-I also got two units at hope and grand.

-Ok.

Listen, if you hear anything from Debbie, anything at all,

you call me and let me know, ok?

-Don't you worry.

You'll be the first to know.

Standby, 1-l-10.

Detectives en route.

Yes, sir, I'll be right in.

I just have a couple of things to clear up.

Yeah, I know.

Well, we can get the city to get a few more men.

Yeah.

Yes, sir.

Well, we could all use a vacation.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

-What have we got?

-The impala's behind the old division 19 building.

We gave it a quick drive by.

We found this on the seat.

-Damn, he's got Debbie small.

Has there been any movement?

-We've got a man staked on each side.

Nobody came, and nobody went.

-Ok.

Hold your positions.

Call central and tell them we've got

a possible hostage situation.

This guy doesn't keep people alive very long.

We're going in.

-This is 1-Adam-10 to all units.

Stay in position.

Officers entering building.

All right, I've got other things to do.

Let's get this over with.

-Please, just let me go.

-I'm booking you and printing you

and putting you in a hole downstairs.

Please, just let me go.

I won't tell anyone.

-That's right.

You respect the badge, lady, and you

and me won't have any problems.

Hey, Spence, how you doing?

It's good to see you back.

Hey, you take care of that arm.

Hope you get back real soon.

Please, just let me go.

I won't tell anyone.

-Lady, you don't get out of here unless a cop

says it's all right.

-Please!

I'll do anything you want.

-Freeze, Kent!

Police!

-What's the matter with you people?

Well, do something!

-Freeze right there, Kent!

-She's not gonna leave here.

-I didn't tell, I promise.

-But you don't have to worry, honey.

It's all over now.

-I don't want him to hurt me I just don't want him to hurt me.

Who's gonna hurt you?

I won't tell.

-No one's gonna hurt you, Deb.

-No, I can't go home.

I don't want him to hurt me.

-Who's gonna hurt you, sweetheart?

-My stepfather hurt me, but I won't tell.

-Hi.

How'd it go?

-Pretty intense.

My stepfather broke down.

My mom shook a lot.

I just kinda talked.

-Do you think you might want to go back with them?

-I don't know.

They have a few more sessions scheduled out here.

I guess I gotta do those.

-Well, yeah.

I think it's a good idea to get it all out, you know.

-That's what all the shrinks say.

-Have you thought about pressing charges?

-I don't know.

It all happened when I was a kid, you know.

It's buried deep.

-Well, if you want to talk, I'm here.

-Thanks.

I just wish I could've talked about 10 or 12 years ago.

-Yeah, I understand.

I'll see you later, ok?
