All language subtitles for Hunter s02e21 The Beautiful and the Dead 2

Who's Christy Carlson? Oh, you mean
Allison Cavalli. I never shot a gun in

life. She lied, didn't she? And our
friends here from Washington are deeply

concerned. This is the United States
Coast Guard.

Did you have any luck finding Zhukov? It
is Zhukov. Is that his name?

Zhukov is a KGB agent.

Kill him.

We had hard evidence.

You got no evidence.

What kind of evidence?

I'd like to see that evidence.

I don't wanna go home or go to bed.

Worked for me.

In part one of The Beautiful and the
Dead.

I know something about that murder at
the Motel Exotica. He had a Russian

accent. Did you see his face?

Yes. Turn to your left.

Off the record, Miss Zuhonen, did one of
them seem close?

Yes, Zhukov. But I would never swear it
was him. You're still not off the hook

with us yet.

Because I'm Russian?

Look, Mr. Zhukov, we don't care if
you're Patagonian.

You're alibi.

last Friday night stinks.

When I got home tonight, I found a dead
body watching my television.

I think it's a frame -up. I'm telling
you, there was a body in that chair.

This is the first and only time I ever
got a missing persons report with no

attached. Why don't you tell me all
about her?

Well, it looks like we've picked up a
tale here.

Well, let's find out who he is.

You know, why is it all of a sudden I
get the feeling we're in a big time

A delegation from Washington just
trooped in. We seem to have common

a certain Russian defector by the name
of Leo Zhukov. We would also like to

suggest that you lay off, unless you
have clear and plausible cause to

him. So, you reported a woman missing?

Yeah, yeah, I did.

What's her name?

Allison Cavalli. Thought you were
working on the Humphreys case.

Well, we are, but we think they might be
the same case.

But you don't know how she died? No.

Well, he was leaving that for the
coroner, Captain. He didn't know the

going to disappear.

You Austin Cavalli?

Yes. You know who she is? She's my best,
closest friend.

Christy Carlson. Well, she rented an
apartment in L .A. under your name.

Why would she do that?

Was she hiding from somebody?

I'll have to ask that you two keep my
identity to yourselves.

Next, you'll be asking me if I killed
her.

Well, did you?

Hunter, it's Carlos.

The body you've been looking for just
came in. But I think you're in for a big

surprise, pal.

And now, part two of The Beautiful and
the Dead.

Under my man. Where is she?

Where's my favorite little vixen?

She's outside, Carlos. Where's the body?

Is it her?

Where'd they find her?

You live in the valley, right?

Sherman Oaks?

Sherman Oaks, huh?

By accident.

In the storm drain at Kemp and Ventura.

They were looking for a lost dog.

What's the surprise you had to tell me?

Well, she wasn't killed like you said,
pal.

How was she killed?

Old -fashioned shot in the back.

22 caliber bullet entered, went through
her heart, ricocheted off her rib, ended

up in her duodenum.

Automatic weapon, probably with a
silencer.

Was there any evidence that she was
running at the time she was killed?

For subtle and totally unreliable
information of that kind, I refer you to

.E., who is not in at this point in
time.

Well, this is a surprise that she was
shot.

I need that bullet.

The ME sent it to the lab with, at my
suggestion, your name on the tag. Okay,

good. Appreciate it. Thanks.

So, what do we got here?

She called the cab.

You get to the airport faster riding
with us. I know.

But the cab driver won't accuse me of
murder.

Was it Christy Carlson?

Yes, it was.

She's dead.

Yes, she is. Shot right in the back with
a .22 caliber handgun.

I never shot a gun in my life.

Not even at a tin can.

Miss Humphreys, it's always the first
time, isn't it?

All three of you? Just me, the airport.

Unless you've decided I can't leave the
jurisdiction. That is the word, isn't

it? Well, you can pretty much do what
you want, Miss Humphries.

But I'm still a suspect.

A suspect is somebody with motive,
opportunity, and a lousy alibi.

You're a suspect.

Call my daughter.

She'll tell you I was in Palo Alto that
day, all day with her.

I'm sure she will, Miss Humphreys.
Driver, on the way to the airport,

of murder a couple times, will you?

Mike Harrison's been looking for you
guys like crazy. He went back to his

office.

Hold that.

Mike, honey.

Really?

Okay, we'll get over there right away.
Thanks, Mike.

Well, it seems as though Ralph called
Big Mike.

He's got something he wants to show us,
but he doesn't want to talk to us over

the phone about it.

I've tried everywhere. I even tried
missing persons up in San Francisco.

I found out you guys are homicide
detectives.

I'm a little scared.

I've got something to show you. Just sit
down.

Take a look at that.

Now, I hadn't developed that one yet
when I saw you the first time.

Picture of Christie's for what? It's
more the same, Ralph. Take a closer

Here, look at it under the light.

That's a picture of Zukov.

Sure is.

Maybe this will help.

I blew up just that part of the shot.

This is a little bit better shot. Can I
take this? Yeah, sure. I got the

negative.

Who is Zhukov?

How long ago was this photograph taken,
Ralph?

That was the last time I saw her.

It's probably the day she died.

What?

It was probably taken on the day she
disappeared.

Thanks, Ralph.

He's in there.

Their lips are saying no, but their eyes
are saying yes.

Doesn't make any difference, McCall.
Tomorrow we get the troops in here and

a warrant for his arrest.

Yeah, what about that hard -nosed jerk
from Washington that warned us to lay

off, huh?

Yeah, he's a jerk, all right, but he's
got his job and we've got ours. As far

I'm concerned, the Zhukov character is a
loose warhead.

It's late.

Let me take you home.

You need some sleep.

So do you, big guy. Come on.

Sergeant Hunter?

Harvey, quick, call an ambulance.

How you feeling, Hunter?

I'm all right, Gene.

How many fingers?

Are you kidding?

Well, how many fingers?

Let's see. I think there's about three
in there.

Yeah, three. I'll go with three.

I do not believe you make only one
print.

Where are others?

I swear.

They only made one of each.

Why would I make more than one?

But you did.

And I know it.

I didn't.

Please.

You've got the negative. That's all I've
got.

Take two of these every four hours.

Oh, excuse me.

Were you in your jammies when they
called?

Yeah, I was in my jammies.

I got dressed again. Are you all right?
What happened?

I'm fine. Get in. You're driving.

Oh, are you going to take those aspirin
without any water?

Yeah.

This is L -56.

Send a couple black and whites over to
3142 Park Terrace in Brentwood. Run a

code 3.

McCall and I are en route. L -56 out.

Three guys that jumped me took the
picture. We gotta roll.

Tell me.

He's telling the truth.

Kill him.

I'm not Armenian, and I would prefer you
speak Russian or

English when I'm present.

You will go back to your place and wait.

You'll be picked up within the hour.

What do you mean, picked up?

I have arranged for you to return back
home.

But why?

Everything's settled.

This was merely a police case.

Now it's finished.

You are to return home tonight.

Before you make another mistake.

And expose me as well.

Did you send for an M .E.? Yes, sir.
They should be here any moment.

They got the negative. The whole room's
trashed.

How are you, Barney?

What have we got this time?

I don't know. Take a look.

Looks like he was killed the same way
that John Humphreys was.

Yeah? Same spot?

Yeah, same place.

Probably the same stiletto blade.

What is it? What's happening?

It's okay.

Did you hear anybody, Mr. Lillian?

No.

Nothing.

Did you see anybody?

Did you see anybody new that you haven't
seen before? Anyone at all?

Nothing.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You know, we're going to have to get a
search for it if we're going after

Zhukov. We've got to find out where he
is first.

Look, I don't care what you've got to
do. I want a warrant issued for Zhukov

forever. Fiction of murder. Now get with
it.

The else will be picked up.

You know, the Greater Russian Social
Club is going to be locked up tight at 3

'clock in the morning.

I hope so.

Pull over here. Cut your life.

Stukov's got to be in that little thing.

You want to call for backup?

No, not yet. I want to see where he's
going first.

What do we got in there?

We're going

to

check it out.

Just play it straight.

This is Dell 56.

Send a paramedic and a backup to the
corners of Midvale and Pico.

There's been a car crash. Arrest the
occupant. Dell 56 out.

This is Dell 56. He thinks we're in
pursuit of a black stretch limousine

west on Pico Boulevard just west of
Archer.

Request a backup. Code 3. Nope. Picks
out.

You've lost the limo, Hatcher.

You've got to be headed for Coast
Highway.

All right, what do I want to do? Go
north or south?

Go north.

This is L -56.

Contact West L .A. Dispatch. There's a
black and white headed west on Pico

Boulevard. We want their unit
designation.

10 -4.

L -56, that unit is 17 out of 32.

I haven't switched to frequency 17,
please.

17A32, come in.

This is 17A32.

This is L56. We're turning north on
Pacific Coast Highway. We're looking for

black stretch limousine. We'd like you
to go south. If you find it, call us,

do not overtake. Copy?

Count of four, how about you?

Yeah, and I swear one of them was Zika.

It's 4 a .m., and there's trouble in
River City, pal.

What? Hunter, how did you get this name?

I'm a detective, remember?

Listen, I think you got a problem here.

A boat just left Malibu, and I think
Zhukov was on it.

If he is, you're the one with the
problem.

Now, get the hell off the phone. I got
to call a coast guard. I've already done

that, Broder. Now, if you want to talk
to me more about this problem, I'll be

my office.

Good night.

Hunter.

Sitting at your desk.

I hate that more than anything.

Any word from the Coast Guard?

Why is it everybody dumps on my desk?
Nobody ever dumps on your desk. Why is

that? What?

I said, is there any word from the Coast
Guard?

No.

No word. Did you have any luck finding
Zukov?

No, he's gone.

What scared him? Why did he run?

He ran because we found a hard, solid
piece of evidence that could have put

away for murder.

Yeah, and he took it with him.

What kind of evidence?

Photograph, showing him in the apartment
of Christy Carlson, probably taken on

the day she was murdered.

You see, Zukov sent over a couple of
muscle brains.

to rough me up and take the photograph,
which they did.

He also got the negative by killing
Ralph, the photographer.

He stabbed him exactly the same way he
stabbed John Humphreys.

You got any coffee in this place?

Yeah, right over there. A little
privacy. Right back to that thing.

I never heard of Christy Carlson.

Who is she?

What about Allison Cavalli?

No.

My partner and I were sent to Santa
Clara because Humphreys called the U .S.

Attorney's Office and they called us.

That was around the time there was a
whole slew of arrests being made for

espionage.

Those people were eyeballing the death
penalty.

And Humphreys...

Well, he sounded scared.

Someone trying to make a deal.

Way out of some big trouble.

But when we got there, he did a switch.

Gave us some phony song and dance. We
couldn't turn him around.

Well, I thought you said he had no
connection with Zhukov.

I'm not allowed to discuss Zhukov with
you or anyone else outside of my agency.

What agency was that?

You can't talk about Zhukov because he's
a spy, right?

He buys high -tech secrets, prototypes,
that sort of thing.

You two, I pray to God you can show
strong cause for leaning on Zhukov.

Especially after you were given fair
warning to knock it off.

Because if you can't, you and your
immediate superiors are in deep, deep

Let's see now.

It went like this, right?

Zhukov is a KGB agent.

You knew that, but he didn't know that
you knew it. Is that right?

If you would have told us that Zhukov
was KGB, we would have stayed clear. But

you told us that he was a friendly
defector. And I'm not telling you

different now.

This KGB crap, that's your scenario.

Are we on the same side here, Broder?
We're not even on the same planet.

And let me tell you something else.

If Zhukov was KGB and he didn't know
that we knew...

It'd be pure gold.

And scaring him into taking a powder
would put you two on the wrong side.

Thanks for the coffee.

You better pray to God you can get
another copy of that photograph.

Sounds like the only hard evidence you
two, um, sports have had.

I don't want to go home or go to bed.

I know the answer.

What answer?

Allison Cavalli.

Want to hear it?

On the way home in a car.

Remember what Allison Cavalli told us
about Christy and her man? That in a

or two, all her plans would be locked
in. You remember that?

Yeah, so you think that she knew what
Humphreys was up to?

No, but she was involved in it.

She knew Zukov, she had to. When
Humphreys got scared, she got scared,

that's when she ran to Zukov.

Okay, then why would she do that?

To get her plan back on track, you know
what I'm saying? And it worked, didn't

it? Because Zhukov upped the ante or
something and kept Humphreys right in

at least long enough for Zhukov to get
him down here until he could take him

out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

056, we have the Coast Guard on the
line.

Patch him through.

Turn all three of them and their boat
over to the U .S. Marshal.

Three men are refusing to answer any
questions until their attorney gets

So we can't talk to them now.

Well, that figures.

Do they have papers?

Well, they claim to be U .S. citizens.
Maybe they are.

If Zukov, is that his name? Yeah. If he
doesn't wash up on one of our beaches,

they won't be able to hold him. And the
chances of you finding any fingerprints

on that boat are pretty slim.

A boat like that can do over 90 knots,
can't it?

That's right.

Is there any reports of Russian ships in
the area?

Three notifications today of special
interest vessels on their way out of

You got a secure phone I could use in
private?

Yeah, sure.

They could have rendezvoused with any
one of those vessels.

The tanks were down to vapor when we
picked them up.

Yeah, appreciate it. Thanks very much.
Good luck.

We're not taking any calls, and you're
taking me home.

Why? You've been sleeping all day.

Look, I need some sleep, okay? Take me
home. That jerk from Washington is going

to hassle us tomorrow, and unless I get
some sleep, I'm going to punch him out.

Oh, feisty, huh?

Little Benny Roos there?

Hey, listen, the thing is you're so
feisty. How about you and I check into

Hotel Exotic? I've got a trunk full of
apparatus back here. What do you say?

Oh, wonderful.

That sounds great.

Time out on that, though, okay? Let's do
it some other time. I need to go home

and sleep in my own bed, disconnect the
phone.

If you want to have a boring night's
sleep, that's up to you.

That's what I want. Thank you very much.

And our friends here from Washington are
deeply

concerned.

And should their concerns prove
legitimate, the chief has authorized me

launch a full investigation into your
handling of this case.

and the conduct of these three officers
in the matter of Leo Zhukov.

Well, we'd just like to have a little
light shed on what these concerns are.

Only a few days ago, in this office, I
asked you, Captain, I asked you,

Hunter, and you, Sergeant McCall, to go
easy on Leo Zhukov.

To lay off, were my exact words.

Unless you had clear...

and supportable cause.

Am I correct in that?

We had cause for everything that we did.

Oh, you have further information,
evidence, other than the opinion of a

who refused to confirm that evidence
under oath?

We had hard evidence linking Zhukov with
Krista Carlson.

I'd like to see that evidence.

Well, so would I, but as you know, I
lost it.

So, in other words, as far as we know,
that evidence never really existed, did

it? Look, Hunter got attacked outside
his own home by three professionals, and

the evidence was taken.

At the same time that was going down,
the photographer was killed.

And that was probably by Zhukov, and he
got the damn negative, all right?

You got no evidence.

Isn't that the bottom line?

It looks pretty bad, yeah.

Mr. Warson, what's really going on here?

Let me give you a damage report, folks.

Leo Zhukov was a KGB agent who didn't
know we had him online.

A vital, second -level agent who was
about to lead us to his top -level

at any moment.

Until you two...

fatally impacted our case action.

Anything to add, Captain?

Yeah. First of all, Lieutenant Finn was
in no way involved in this case.

And secondly, Sergeants Hunter and
McCall were operating at all times under

instructions.

Excuse, Lieutenant.

You too, Sergeants.

Just a second, you two.

I got a couple questions I want to ask
you on this. Not right now, Ambrose.

We got a lot of things to do. Number one
is to push this case right down

Watterson's throat. Isn't that right?
Come on.

Where are we going?

Let me ask you a question.

How did Zhukov know that I had that
photograph?

He had to have been at Ralph's
apartment, right?

Now, just perhaps, maybe, one of those
airheads at the pool, it's awesome.

What do you think about that?

I think it's worth checking out.

You know, it's wonderful what a couple
hours' sleep will do.

Yep, it makes you whole.

So, what's the big deal?

Zukov wasn't there.

What do you mean, Zukov wasn't there?

When we went to see Ralph, the night he
gave us those pictures? Yeah.

I saw somebody watching us as we came
in. It wasn't Zhukov. It was the

Ms. Danilia?

She watched us go up those stairs. Now,
you remember the night we went back

after Ralph was killed? Yeah.

We asked her specifically, did you hear
anything? Did you see anyone?

Remember what she said?

Yeah, she said she hadn't seen or heard
anybody.

But in fact, she had. She had seen us.
That's right. She lied, didn't she?

You know, you ought to be a detective.

Yeah, that's what my mom always said.

Well, I think it's about time we get
ourselves a warrant for a misdemeanor.

I agree.

Specifying what?

One .22 caliber hand pistol with a sound
suppressor. You know, I knew Zhukov

didn't kill Christy Carlson.

Long weapon.

Can I help you?

Yeah, we'd like to talk with you.

Certainly. What is it?

Well, you do remember us, don't you?

Of course, you are with the police.

May I ask what you wish to talk to me
about?

Poor Mr. Skinner, perhaps.

Perhaps.

Can we talk about it out here?

No, I'm afraid we can't.

I don't understand why not.

Well, maybe this will explain why.

It says here the only thing you're
searching for is a .22 caliber handgun.

I do not have such a thing.

Oh, well, then we can go inside and take
a look and be sure of that, right?

I wish first to talk to my attorney.

Good, let's go in.

Oh, Mr. Dillion, hold the phone.

We'll make our search. If we find the
gun, you'll be arrested.

Then you can make your phone call.

Thank you.

Go ahead.

Look for a gun.

You will not find one.

Yes, Sergeant Rick Hunter.

Send over a paramedic, a black and
white, and an ME.

3142 Park Terrace, Brentwood, Code 3.
Thanks.

I want to make a phone call.

I'm sure you do.

Tell me about Christy Carlson.

Why did you remove her body from my
house?

Didn't you think anybody would find her?

Doesn't make any difference.

The bullet that killed her came from
this gun. We'll be able to prove that,

thanks to you.

I wish to make a phone call.

Well, we're going to turn you over to a
fellow from Washington, D .C. Very

unpleasant fellow.

The phone call will be up to him.

You're not going to like him much, Mrs.
Denalian, but he's going to love you.

Ambrose, Hunter, do me a favor. Will you
get a hold of Captain Wilder? Have him

find out where Watterson is.

I've got something very special he might
be interested in.

Thanks.

Jerry, how you doing?

Hey, how you doing? Good.

Coming to Gorlin.

I'm going, and I'm late. I've got to get
back to the airport. I've got 40

minutes to catch a plane.

Well, I don't think you have to rush.
There is a flight to San Francisco every

hour, isn't it? I know, but I've got to
get back. Listen, I left a letter with

Lieutenant Finn for you guys.

Does the name Ralph Skinner mean
anything to you?

Yeah. Did he write you a letter? No, it
was addressed to you, marked important,

confidential. Somehow it found its way
to me.

Well, was it important?

Well, it better be. A bunch of fares,
$89.

I'm kidding, but I didn't open the
letter.

Did the envelope seem to have a
photograph inside?

That's why I decided to bring it down
instead of mail it to you.

Jerry, it's going to help us out a lot.
Thank you. Well, good, good.

Sure is. You sure we can't talk you into
staying for dinner?

Tell you what, I got ten days coming
next month. I'll take you up on it then,

okay? Great.

Yeah. Have a good flight. Thank you.

Bye -bye. Bye.

Take care. Will do.

Bye.

And thank you. You got it.

That thing doesn't make one damn bit of
difference.

The loss of Zukov was avoidable.

It should have been avoided.

There's more, Mr. Watterson.

Colonel Donnelly and KGB, we arrested
her on first -degree murder. She was

Zukov's boss, the one you guys couldn't
find.

I don't see anything here about KGB or
anything about Zukov. Well, that's just

the way the arrest report reads.

Actually, she thought she could get a
better deal by declaring her Soviet

citizenship, and she called the Soviet
embassy, and there are a couple of

lawyers on their way here now from the
embassy.

Is this woman in custody here now?

Yes, we have her downstairs.

I want to see her. You don't mind if
Captain Weiler and I go along?

Well, I guess we can finally put this
one to rest, huh?

Go back to our ordinary run -of -the
-mill business of mayhem and murder.

You know what?

There's still something I don't get
here. What's that?

We know that Zhukov killed John
Humphreys and Ralph Skinner. Right.

And we know that Colonel Denalian killed
Allison Cavalli. Mm -hmm.

So who was the guy that followed us back
from Zukov?

You know, the guy that took his car over
the L .A. River.

What? Who was that? Come on.

What? Don't you know who that was?

No, I don't know who that was. Who was
that? You're kidding.

No, I'm not kidding. Who was that?

Who?
