All language subtitles for Hunter S03E17 Any Second Now

There's really nothing we can do about
it until he kills me. You wouldn't let

do what I have to do.

I'm going to fight.

He has cut this woman to pieces once.
Now he's going to do it again.

It won't be the next time, Ralph.

I hereby order the defendant be
released.

Don't even think about it. You can't
stop me. No one can stop me.

So what do you think?

Film at 11.

Good night. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll
see you tomorrow.

Jennifer Hartman?

Yes? I saw your concert tonight.

Did you like it? And I saw you in
Washington and in Denver.

You must like the music.

You are so beautiful.

Thank you.

I saw you and I heard you play, but I
didn't know what to do.

But then I realized that you're too
beautiful to live here on this earth,

surrounded by so much that is ugly.

And then I knew what to do.

All right, hold it, hold it, hold it,
hold it. One more time, folks. Let's try

it again.

Violins, you were late. I want you to
come in on beat three of measure nine.

came in on beat four.

Should we take it again, please?

Okay, let's go for a take.

Here we go.

M24, take three.

How was it?

Good for me.

Great. Thank you, everybody.

That's a wrap.

Miss Hartman. Miss Hartman.

I have a phone call for you.

He's been holding quite a while. Must be
Robert Redford.

He's getting me such a pain.

Hello? Jennifer?

I've come back.

Oh, my God.

You wouldn't let me do what I have to
do.

Jennifer.

I'm going to fight this time.

Do you hear me?

I'm going to fight!

Are you Sergeant

McCall? Yes, I am.

Could I talk to you for a minute?

Sure. What's on your mind?

My name is Jennifer Hartman.

And if I don't get some help...

I'm going to be one of your homicide
cases in the next day or so.

Excuse me?

This is just a little bit of what he did
last time.

There are 11 other scores.

Please sit down.

Tell me about it.

Seven years ago, a man named Ralph
Flager told me I was too beautiful to

Then he pulled out a knife and stabbed
me 12 times.

I only lived because a taxi driver saw
what was happening, jumped out of his

and tackled Plager.

Plager was just released from prison.

He called me today to tell me he's here.

And he's going to kill me.

Are you sure he really means to do it?

Yes.

He was up for parole twice.

Both times he was refused parole because
he said he still intended to kill me.

I'm afraid if he's served his time,
there's really nothing we can do about

Until he kills me.

My lawyer told me that one.

You can't arrest a person for making
threats.

Not even if he's been violent in the
past.

Not even if he might be insane.

I'm sure he also told you that the law
is interpreted to cover the rights of

everyone.

Even people like this Flager.

Yes, he told me.

But I just can't seem to get that
through my head.

Where are my rights when somebody like
Flager comes along?

Someone who has already tried to murder
me.

And no one can do anything to keep him
from doing it again.

I know.

Unfortunately, that's how it is. He can
say whatever he wants, and the police

can't do anything about it. Have you
talked to your attorney to see if he

get a restraining order?

He said it's useless in cases like this.

He advised me to change my name, give up
my performing career, and run.

Just disappear.

Well, I won't run.

Flager is the criminal, not me.

I have known for years that this day
would come.

And now that it's here, I've made a
decision.

He is not taking any more of my life.

He can't have me.

Or my friends.

Or my work.

That's why I came to you.

I read about you in the newspapers last
year.

And you were raped.

I see.

And you know.

Yes, I do.

It's out of my hands.

He has cut this woman to pieces once.
Now he's going to do it again.

McCall, I don't have to tell you.

Departmental Regulation 348 specifically
forbids the allocation of police

personnel to protect private citizens
who feel threatened, even when they have

good reason.

Captain, once, let's break a rule and
save a life here.

Flager's not going to wait. He's going
to do something, and if we're there,

we've got him. The answer is no.

I don't like it, but that's the way it
is.

Well, Directive 348 can't tell me what
to do when I'm off, Judy.

McCall.

Don't go off alone on some personal
crusade.

Don't worry, Captain. I won't be alone
on this one.

Come on in.

This is beautiful.

I just don't know how to say thank you.
You don't have to thank me. I invited

you, remember? Just make yourself at
home.

When you go to the refrigerator, use
your .45.

Yeah, don't touch your breaded veal
cutlet. It is very old.

I really don't care what we have to eat.

The important thing is I feel safe here.

Good. Come on. Let's check out the
kitchen. Sure.

Okay.

Let's see. I got lasagna. I got turkey
tetrazzini. Beef stroganoff. Oh,

anything's fine.

Don't you have any fresh vegetables?

You don't look like I live on a farm.

These are good. These are Brussels
sprouts. You'll enjoy them.

Um, I'll make a salad.

What?

Yeah, maybe I'd better go shopping
tomorrow.

No, tomorrow, actually, as soon as you
get done working, you should come back

here. I'm going to be driving your car
from now on. I'm also going to need to

have a key to your apartment.

I can't let you do that. It's too
dangerous. The man is crazy.

We've notified the security people at
the studio.

They'll be on the lookout for Flager.
Don't worry about her. She'll be all

right.

You're going to be working at the movie
studio tomorrow.

Try and pick up a wig that matches your
hair for the good sergeant here.

Fine. By the time you leave the studio
tomorrow, Flager will have already left.

He'll be following me because I'll be in
your car.

I can't believe you'd do that.

You don't even know me.

Yes, I do.

How was that for you? Uh, we got a
problem in here.

Okay, I'm gonna come inside.

Uh, take ten, everybody.

Hi, are you having a good day? I feel
like the Christmas goose on December

We'll get the guy soon.

Is that for me?

Yeah.

I think it's a good match.

Please.

Be careful.

Don't worry, I will.

Look, when you leave here today,
there'll be a guy in a tan Dodge

till you get to my house. He wants to
make sure you get inside safely.

His name's Bernie Terwilliger.

Guess I better go.

See you later.

Bye.

He followed me. Yeah, I know.

I'm gonna go take this off.

Take this.

Real hair dying.

Thank God you put that shoe back on.

I can hit the guy over the head with it
when he comes in the door. You can hit

the guy over the head with your foot.

When's the last time you cleaned your
feet?

Move it, you're dead.

Who the hell are you?

Hey, there ain't supposed to be anybody
in here. Who told you that? Look, this

is entrapment. I know the law now. I
have been had here. I've been set up.

Who sent you here?

Huh? Who sent you here? Guy about my
size.

Sandy hair, glasses, crazy looking.

What's his name?

We talking deal? We could be talking
deal here. What's his name?

He said it was Henshaw.

What's your name?

Oh, I'm Kenny Dunstan.

You heard of me, right?

What did Henshaw hire you to do?

Oh, to grab some picture off a bedside
table.

Look, breaking and entering is my
specialty, you understand? I'm Kenny

You must have heard of me. I'm a legend.

And I have been set up, and I would like
to get my hands on this guy.

Well, maybe we can help you do that,
Kenny.

You see, your only chance of getting any
type of deal with us at all is to do

exactly what we tell you to do, you
understand?

Oh, sure.

You set me up, man. You set me up.

Something went wrong.

Yeah, you told me that place would be
empty. But it wasn't.

Sure it was, except for this pretty
brunette laying in a bed there. I almost

a heart attack on the spot.

I don't need this kind of aggravation,
you understand?

I have a high blood pressure problem.
Did she hear you? Did you wake her up? I

do not make noise.

You're talking to Kenny Dunstan.

Now, you owe me. I'll pay you.

Now, right?

And you'll forget we ever met.

Do you understand?

Mr. Henshaw, that will be the only
pleasurable thing about this whole

Freeze right there or you're under
arrest. Turn around, put your hands on

the car. Move it!

Come on, Kenny, we're not done with you
yet.

Come on, Sergeant, I got him. Hey, I
thought we made a deal.

You're a witness.

We're going to take you in and book you.

You'll probably make bail, but you're
going to have a real good reason to show

up to testify.

Testify? The man has witnessed nothing.

Is that right?

You hired this guy to break into Jenny
Hartman's apartment. That means we can

nail you for breaking and entering, and
that's going to put you back in the slam

for five years.

She wasn't there. They were.

I should never have depended upon
anybody else.

Next time, I won't. It won't be the next
time around.

You can't stop me.

No one can.

Hank,

what's the big deal? I mean, it's
nothing to get so upset about.

Oh, yeah?

When the DA tosses a report at me saying
one of my people's been busted and he's

out on bail, I tend to get pretty damn
concerned.

But it was a gag. It was a joke.

Okay. Tell me the joke.

Look, this guy looks me up. He needs a
favor.

He wants me to go to this ex
-girlfriend's apartment and get him a

whatever reasons. I don't know.

Sentimental, whatever.

And you believe him?

Well, sure.

The guy says grab the picture and run.
What's not to believe?

It says here his name is Ralph Flager, a
convicted felon.

Didn't you read the conditions of your
parole?

Item seven, you will not consort with ex
-convicts. If I knew this guy was who's

in here, I would have run from him like
the plague. Oh, sure you would have.

Now, what happened next?

Well, I go to this apartment.

Instead of the picture, I find two cops
there. They're waiting for me. This guy,

Flager, evidently set me up to take the
fall for him, I guess.

And he did a hell of a job, too, because
I got to pull your parole.

You're going back to the slam.

Oh, give me a break, will you? He paid
you to do this little B &E job, didn't

he? Yeah.

But you guys never learn, do you?

Hey, look, I've been trying to do my
parole time straight. Now, you know

Hank. This is love here. The guy just
wanted a picture of his girlfriend,

all. And you go right ahead and break
into the girl's apartment?

Maybe you're a little stupid, Kenny, but
you're going back to the slam.

Are you serious?

Yeah, I'm serious.

Hey, this is Margolis.

The defendant is ordered to stand trial
on two counts of grand theft auto. The

hearing date is set for the 15th of next
month.

I have set bail at $5 ,000, and the
defendant is remanded into the custody

the sheriff until such time as set bail
is posted.

We can't find Kenny Dunstan.

What do you mean you can't find Kenny
Dunstan?

I don't know. I just heard about it.

Hey, Stace, people versus Flager.

Are the people ready, Mr. Auberg?

Your Honor, we were ready to proceed at
this time, but we've just been notified

that our key witness is no longer in
this jurisdiction.

Is this witness necessary to your case,
Mr. Oliver?

He is our only witness, Your Honor.

Do you have any idea where this witness
is?

No, Your Honor. He fled and forfeited
his bail.

I have no choice but to suggest that the
district attorney refile this case when

the state's witness has been returned to
custody.

I hereby order the defendant, Ralph
Flager, be released.

Next case.

Don't even think about it.

You can't stop me.

No one can stop me.

What will be, will be.

You heard him.

Totally insane.

All I can do is sit and wait until he
finds me again.

Don't worry about that, Jenny. We'll
take care of him.

It'll take a while before they can
release him. They have to process a lot

paperwork. So why don't you just come
back to my house and wait, all right?

I can't stay with you forever.

Don't worry about it.

I'll be back for dinner. We'll have
Chinese, okay?

Thanks.

See you later, Jenny. Don't worry.

See you later.

We gotta get that guy, Hunter.

The worst thing was I didn't have anyone
to talk to after Flager tried to kill

me.

My parents were determined not to
discuss it at all.

In fact, they talked about cheerful
things until I thought I'd scream.

Yeah, just try to forget about it and
get on with your life.

Did you ever get that one? About a
thousand times.

You know, Hunter's my best friend.

And that guy was really here for me.

I mean, he slept on my couch every
night.

He just let me talk. He just let me be
depressed. He let me get through what I

had to do for me.

Do you have rituals?

I mean, do you do things now that you
didn't do before?

I do. I just never told anybody before.

Whenever I have to go down a long, dark
hall, I always wait for somebody else to

walk with me.

I just pretend as though I'm looking for
something in my purse so that people

don't think I'm weird.

After I was raped, for two months, I
took a bath three times a day.

I mean, we're talking my water bill
was... Well, one time, when I was on a

concert tour, I punched out a guy on the
street.

What? A man came up behind me and tapped
me on the shoulder. When?

I let go with a right hook.

There's a little man in Pittsburgh
who'll always remember me.

Wait, I have one that's even worse.

I shot a coat.

A coat? It was really dark in my house,
and I looked and I saw this. I thought

it was a man. It was a coat, so I shot
it.

You

want

any more food?

I'm not really hungry.

Well, good. You can clean up.

Thank you.

Look, I admire what you're doing and
everything, but, uh...

Well, look at you. You're half asleep,
right?

No, we're not. We're awake. We're fine.

Look, you're going to have to find some
way to do whatever it is that you're

doing without coming in here and
dragging your butts.

Now, the department's paying you to do a
job.

A correction.

The citizens of the city are paying you
to do a job, and I expect to see that

job done.

You understood?

Yeah. Understood.

You look like hell.

Go home.

You don't look like a spring morning
either, you know.

How's Jenny doing?

Like a trooper, better than me.

Well, let's find Dunst so we can get
some sleep.

Dee Dee?

Kitty?

This is a police emergency. Send an
ambulance right away to 18534 Mesden

She's had a severe cranial fracture.

If she regains consciousness at all, it
won't be for at least 48 to 72 hours.

But if there's any change, I'll notify
you immediately.

Thank you.

Hang in there, Jenny.

Want to get some coffee?

Hey, come on. This wasn't your fault,
you know.

I know.

Are you sure of that?

Yeah, I still feel guilty.

Yeah, I know.

Look, I can understand how you feel, but
unless you can positively ID Flager or

get us some prints... There are no
prints, Charlie.

Captain, it's the same M .O. It's the
same kind of weapon. It's the same

McCall, you can buy this kind of knife
in any sporting goods store.

Now, did you see his face or didn't you?

No, I didn't.

So that's it?

Unless you can tell me now that you can
positively ID Ralph Flager at the scene,

that's it.

I can't do that.

So what do you think, Nicole? You think
we've joined the system?

I think we are the system.

It's called delivery for you. It came in
just a little while ago.

Thanks.

Hunter, come here. Take a look at this.

This guy may be crazy, but he's not
stupid.

Fingerprints all over the envelope and
the card, and none of them turn out to

plagiarism. Any developments on Kenny
Dunstan?

Everybody in the department's looking
for him, Charlie.

Have you checked with your friend,
Sporty James?

Am I hearing this? He wants us to check
with Sporty?

The guy's after you now, McCall. I'm
willing to try anything.

If we call her Dunstan, wait a minute.
If we call her Dunstan, we can put

away three to five on the breaking the
entry conspiracy. That's better than

nothing, isn't it?

I'll call Sporty.

Meanwhile, I don't want you to let
McCall out of your sight.

I want to stay at her house until this
whole thing blows over.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

McCall, didn't anyone ever tell you not
to look a gift horse in the mouth?

That's why he's the captain.

Sure you have everything you need?

I'm only going to be here a short period
of time, hopefully.

I do have food here, you know.

What you have here is not food.

You said that the last time you stayed
over.

You see, the food you have in your
refrigerator now is probably the same

that you had in your refrigerator then.

I think you are right.

Did I ever tell you how much I really
appreciated you being here for me last

year?

I think so, yeah.

I really did. You helped me a lot,
thanks.

You're welcome.

So, what do you think?

Prunes. The city council will vote on
the parking ordinance after meeting

with local citizens' groups.

Park time.

Well, that's it for news of the
neighborhood, Gramps. Oh, oh. Now, time

entertainment section.

Arnold, I swear you sound just like
those guys on TV.

That's right, Grandpa.

Film at 11.

Rito.

All right, it was a pretty good
breakfast.

What do you mean a pretty good
breakfast? It was a great breakfast. Let

you a question. Do you know anything at
all about nutrition?

Yeah, I know a lot about nutrition.
Yeah? Okay.

What are the basic food groups? Four
basic food groups.

Order out, take in, frozen, and canned.

Excuse me a minute, Gams. I think I see
a couple of friends of mine.

Just a little business.

I'll be back to do the weather, okay?

Hi, Sporty.

What's happening?

Too much.

Who's, uh... Who's your friend?

He's no friend. That gentleman just
happens to be my grandfather.

Your grandfather, huh? That's right. The
proud patriarch of an upwardly mobile,

achievement -oriented family.

He raised me.

Now, what can I do for you two fine
people?

I mean, this is my family hour.

Yeah. Kenny Dunstan.

You know him? We're looking for him.

Sure I do.

He's a legend.

Yeah, he mentioned that to us.

This is important to us, Sporty. We're
coming up empty.

You mean Dunstan told something that I
don't know about? Well, he's conspired

break and enter.

with a fellow by the name of Ralph
Flager now.

Dunstan here is going to help us get
Flager.

He's a murderer.

The call's mixed on his list and we
can't get him for a homicide because we

don't have any witnesses.

Ah, that's important.

Okay. I'll see what I can do about
Dunstan in return for a little favor.

Really? Yes. Well, what's her name and
what'd you get arrested for doing?

I'm talking about a family matter of
some concern.

You see that liquor store down on the
corner?

Oh, yes.

Now, what we have here is a neighborhood
nuisance.

See, the new owners took it over and
have changed it into a commodity

the commodity being $10 baggies of rock.

Now, the folks in the neighborhood are
getting jumpy. My grandfather doesn't

feel safe sitting on the porch anymore.

Okay, Sporty, here's what I'm going to
do. I'm going to have a squad car sit on

that corner until they get the picture
of it.

Sergeant Hunter?

May I commend you on your sense of civic
responsibility and on your attention to

duty. And I will put my friends to work
instantly on Mr. Dunstan.

Thank you so much, Sporty.

Carry on, and I beg to remain.

I want pictures of Flager circulated to
every motel, every hotel, every

flophouse in the area. That guy is not
leaving this town.

Hunter.

Hunter Homicide.

Hey, you did a nice job, Hunter.

My granddaddy thanks you, the
neighborhood thanks you, and I thank

Sporty, how you doing? You got Dunstan
for me?

Uh, I'm waiting for something, and it's
due here any second. But I've got

something on that other dude.

You got something on Flager for me?
Yeah, man, I ran into some information

him. Now, will that help?

That is not Ralph Flager.

No, I told the man his name is Richard
Farnham.

Did he have any, uh...

visitors here at the house or associated
in any way with any of the tenants?

Oh, no.

No, not Mr. Farnan.

He kept very much to himself.

He wasn't here very long.

Did he leave a forwarding address?

Oh, no.

No, I... I didn't even see him when he
moved out.

He left me a lovely note and a...

Bouquet of flowers.

He was a nice, quiet, polite man.

Miss Karnofsky, did you notice anything
strange or peculiar about this fellow?

You might say he wasn't very warm or
spontaneous.

I'm sorry, I can't be of more help.

No, Mrs. Karnofsky, you've helped a lot.

Thank you. And if you think of anything,
anything at all, give us a call, all

right?

Thank you. Thank you.

I hate this, just sitting here waiting.
I wish the guy would make his move

already.

He will.

It's 2 o 'clock. Let's get some sleep.

Uh, Sergeant Hunter, homicide, please.

Uh, yeah, Hunter, I got a news flash for
you. Hot off the sidewalk.

Now, you know the guy you've been
looking for, Kenny Dunstan? I got a line

the cat.

Now, certain informed sources of mine
tell me that the cat is hiding out at

Adams Hotel.

That's 3896 Cantwell Street.

The desk man, he owes me a favor, and he
will give you the room number. And,

Hunter, treat Mr.

Dunstan with respect, okay?

He's a legend, which you may be someday,
but you ain't now, so treat him with

respect. Bye.

Dunstan, open up, please.

Dunstan?

Almost by the call. This is Mrs.

Karnofsky.

Do you remember me?

We talked about Richard Farnham?

Yes. I just found a bag he left when he
moved out.

Would you like me to open it?

No, no, don't open it. I'll take care of
that. Wait for me, okay? I'll be right

there, and thank you for calling.

Here we go.

Watch your way. Make a left.

Make a right. Sit down right here. Thank
you.

Hunter, we're trying to get you.

McCall wants you to meet her at Mrs.

Karnofsky's. Oh, thanks, Johnny.

How long ago did she leave? About ten
minutes ago. Hey, hey.

Watch this guy for me. He's a legend.

Mrs. Karnofsky?

Mrs.

Karnofsky?

Mrs. Karnofsky?

Mrs. Karnofsky?

Sergeant McCall, I'm in here.

Works for me.

It's a good thing you got there when you
did.

Thanks. I owe you both my life.

You're quite welcome.

The doctor tells me they're kicking you
out of here in a couple of days. I guess

they need to better somebody who's
really hurt.

Believe me, I'm ready to go.

Yeah?

You know, someone sent me a flyer from
the Victims' Rights Group.

I'm definitely getting involved.

Maybe I can help them get some laws
passed that are good for victims for a

change. That's a good idea, Jimmy. Yeah,
put us on that list.

I was hoping you'd say that.

Let me ask you a question.

Yeah.

You shot Flager through the heart,
right?

Right. Is that where you were aiming?

I told you what happened. I fell and my
arm hit the chair.

That's not what I asked you.

Yeah, I know.

So what do you think?

Did she blink the guy or was it an
accident?
