Tonight, on Hunter.

The victim's name was Michael Girardi.
He was 31.

Ordinary people are not shot to death at
close range.

Mrs. Ava Sands, who reported that her
daughter, who has a history of psychotic

behavior, stole her .380 automatic.

Well, apparently she stopped taking her
medication. She had a violent reaction.

Maybe somebody wanted to make her crazy.

She went after me with a knife and they
still let her out.

BOOM

Rachel.

Rachel.

I told you to go home, didn't I? Oh,
yeah, sure. You'd like that, wouldn't

Then you could say I was irresponsible
and fire me. Go home.

I'll see you tomorrow.

We better go call the police.

File a police report.

Yes? Mrs. Gerard?

Yes, what is it?

I'm Sergeant Dee Dee McCall, L .A.
Police.

I need to speak with you, may I come in?

It's awfully late, what is it?

I'm afraid I have some bad news.

Your husband's been killed.

He should be home soon.

No.

He's dead, Mrs. Gerard.

I'm very sorry.

I hurt you.

Hey,

Hunter.

The gentleman on the bench wants to see
the officer investigating the Girard

shooting. He was sitting there this
morning when I came on duty at 7.

Ray.

How you doing, Sergeant Hunter?

Investigating the Gerard shooting. How
can I help you?

I'm afraid it's the Jupiter project,
sir.

They finally made their submarine
invisible.

The entire country, the entire free
world are at risk.

That's a good photograph.

I haven't seen that.

Yes, sir. I'm Dexter Blodgett.

I tried to tell you last year about the
men who were being abducted from the

homeless shelter. And taken to Jupiter.

Exactly. Right.

Okay, Dexter. You want to step over
there?

Appreciate you coming in.

Ray? Yeah. I want you to call Jupiter.
Tell them we have Mr. Blodgett here in

Los Angeles.

Tell them that we're going to make sure
he gets home safely.

Correct.

Mr. Blodgett, once again, thanks for
coming in. Thank you, sir. Appreciate

Thanks. Bye.

The victim's name was Michael Girardi.
He was 31, owned a litho company two

blocks south on Cahuenga Head. 63 bucks
in his pocket, credit cards, his watch,

it was all there. Well, that shoots the
robbery motive.

The owners of a restaurant on the corner
said that the victim ate there now and

then. He had dinner there that night
alone. He left at 9 .10. It was right

before the shots were fired. Any
witnesses?

No, nobody on the street saw anything.
But it's Hollywood Boulevard. You know,

those people don't even remember their
names.

What did his wife say?

Well, that they were married happily for
two years. They had been building up a

print graphics boutique. They were
planning on having kids around 1990.

Any enemies, drugs, debts?

Nope. I did a credit check at Certified
National. They had a good payment record

on their car, their home, all their
loans.

Yeah, credit cards current.

Just movie rentals, Hollywood Bowl,
Dodger season tickets.

I am still a little worried about those
red marks on the victim's neck, though.

Hi, guys.

I just got the preliminary word from the
coroner. Gerard was shot four times at

point -blank range, possibly with a .380
automatic.

The first slug hitting his heart,
killing him instantly.

Sounds very deliberate.

Any lab reports on the marks on the
victim's neck?

No, it looks just to be a die marker.

That bothers me. There's something crazy
about that. Maybe it's a psycho or

something.

Look, check with the hospital details to
see if there are any dangerous patient

releases.

So, anything else besides no motive and
no witnesses?

Nothing, Charlie, although I am running
down a list of disturbances that

occurred in the area that night. Other
than that, good, good, thanks.

What about the victim's wife? What about
her whereabouts? I already checked into

it. She was at her sister's house.
Apparently every Friday her husband

late. He was out, so she went over there
and had dinner. It was a regular

routine. She said that they were a real
happy couple, just ordinary people.

Ordinary people are not shot to death at
close range.

Morning, honey.

Good morning.

Ow!

Are you all right?

I'm sick.

You're getting late, Rachel. Aren't you
worried about being late for work?

I was fired yesterday, you satisfied
bitch!

Hello, Oak Park, East Wing.

Dr. Pence?

One moment, please.

Security to discharge.

Security to discharge.

This is Dr. Pence.

This is Eva Sands, Rachel Sands' mother.

She's acting up this morning.

She got herself fired from that
bookstore job, and she's been yelling

screaming. I haven't seen her like this
since she started with you. Has she been

maintaining her dosage of hydroloxin?
Oh, yeah. She takes one at breakfast and

another before going to bed. I see that.

Well, she didn't take one this morning,
come to think of it. I'll be by the

house. I'm making my rounds now, but I
should be there by one.

And calm yourself down, Mrs. Sands.
Rachel will cue off you emotionally.

If she gets violent, call the police.
Damn right.

Yeah, I have it.

Tell me, was there anything else in the
neighborhood around that time?

Okay.

Yeah, thank you.

There's a bookstore on Hollywood
Boulevard that called in a complaint.

The manager says that there was an
employee there, a Rachel Sands, who

apparently just lost it and started to
tear the place up a little bit. You

want to check that out. I do want to
check that out. Thank you very much.

Let me know what you find.

Well, thank you.

Who set him on fire?

His complaint search might have paid
off.

Homicide, McCall.

Dan?

Is she there now?

What's the address?

Okay, I'm on the way.

What you got?

This morning, we got a call from a Mrs.
Ava Sands who reported that her

daughter, who has a history of psychotic
behavior, stole her .380 automatic.

And we got a disturbance call from a
bookstore last night right around the

corner from the shooting site concerning
a Rachel Sands.

I'm the woman who called.

Mrs. Sands? Yeah.

Is your daughter inside?

Yeah, she's in there. She's got my
pistol.

I missed it this morning. She never
touched it before, but she used a knife

me once.

Okay. Wait right out here, okay? I'll
take care of things. Thank you.

I'm a police officer. I need for you to
come out where I can see you.

What do you want?

I need to talk with you, Rachel.

Come out where I can see you, Rachel.

Rachel, get your hands out where I can
see them.

Come on outside, Rachel.

Come on out, Rachel.

That's right.

Come on downstairs now, Rachel.

Come on out.

Just keep your hands where I can see
them.

I'm not going to hurt you, Rachel.

Everything's going to be alright.

It's alright.

It's alright.

Feel free to take a look around. Excuse
me.

Dr. McCall, Niels Rasmussen.

Sorry about blasting your eardrums. The
airlock keeps the lab pressure at half

sea level.

We are engrossed in pretty exotic bugs
in here, you know. Wouldn't want any of

them getting out. Oh, I understand. I
appreciate you taking the time to see

Oh, well, whatever you need, you've got
it.

But I admit to being a bit confused.
Now, you mentioned a link between a

murderer and Rachel Sand.

Well, a possible link, yeah.

She is a patient at Oak Park Hospital.
She's involved in a test program there

utilizing your drug, hydroloxin. So
we're trying to determine if that drug

have figured into a killing.

Now, I turned her over to her
psychiatrist for a 96 -hour observation

and he checked her blood to figure out
if there was something that could have

caused her behavior.

He found no alcohol, no drugs, and no
hydroloxin.

Now, could that have caused a violent
withdrawal reaction?

Happily, and I can speak with confidence
due to years of testing here at

Eurogenics, hydroloxin displays no
dependency side effects.

None.

Testing on people?

Only just recently begun.

The FDA is slow to allow.

Victor here monitors all the test
groups. Victor.

Victor Topple, Sergeant McCall.

She's here about the Sands woman.

Five -folder charts.

We don't actually select the subjects
for the test. That's on contract.

50 hospitals nationwide.

43. We have all the original medical
history and the monthly interview

transcripts here. I made you copies
here.

Thank you.

So how's the test going?

Phenomenal.

As predicted, hydroloxin inhibits blind
rage behavior in better than 80 % of the

subjects. Any side effects?

Some people get runny noses.

If you'll excuse me. Thank you very
much.

Let's go out this way.

It's so tragic, this Sands thing.

The people I try to help with my
research can do such awful things.

That's why this drug is a godsend.

Well, we haven't charged her yet.

Ah, but if you do, hydroloxin is tainted
with the crime.

That's a tragedy we must avoid.

It did not make her a killer.

The opposite.

She stopped using it.

I'd like to see the test data when it
comes through. When you have it all

together, will you give me a call? I
certainly will.

All -purpose, indelible marker.

Drives to the skin in just a second.

Can you match the brand?

Twice. McCall was right about those
bookstore signs.

The manager threw what Rachel was
working on in the dumpster, but she was

one of these to letter them when she had
her fit.

And the dead man's face.

Now, all brands are similar. A handful
of common ethers and a heavy die. But

each one is sufficiently unique.

So, the marks on the victim's neck and
these signs are the same, no question?

Some brands that they sell in
supermarkets or thrift stores are bulk

and custom -labeled. We got lucky.

The bookstore bought a name brand.

That's what we call in the forensic
trade good chemistry.

Good.

If you need anything call me.

In here.

Any insights on Rachel Sands? What do
you got going there?

I'm on soft foods for a couple of days.
My dentist put these in.

Says I'm grinding my teeth at night. I
wonder why. Oh, yeah. Look at them in

there.

Here's the Mitchell file you requested.

Now, Rachel Sands, Rachel Sands. Just
like we thought, she's been in 11

different psychiatric institutions over
the years.

At age 8, she started ripping the covers
off of books and magazines.

Her first arrest came when she was 16
years of age.

It seems that she ran the muck out in a
convenience store in the valley, got

tired of waiting in line.

Well, I've done that.

And last year, right before the
hydroloxin test began, she jumped her

with a butcher knife. The next day, her
mother went out and bought a .380 semi

-automatic. Which we still haven't
found.

Right. The killer scrawled all over
Michael Gerard's face with an indelible

Same brand that Rachel Sands used to
make that sign at the store.

Right.

Drop this on my desk for me. Hey, get
going. I'll talk to you later. All

Domingue?

No, she's not here right now. She's out
at the hospital.

Yeah, I'll pick them up. What is it?

Rachel.

Okay, let's go back to why you got angry
with Mr. Eller.

I don't know.

Is it because he criticized the way you
were doing your job?

Maybe.

But he's usually okay.

Do you remember tearing these up?

Not really.

Must have been pretty angry.

Well, that's typical.

I always forget afterwards.

That's not an admission.

I know that, Sid. Relax, all right?

Rachel, you don't have to be afraid.
You're not going to be blamed for

you didn't do.

McCall, don't con my client.

Hey, why don't you give me a little lime
to fish with, okay? It's in the best

interest of your cold.

Rachel,

you were doing really well on the
hydroloxin.

So why'd you stop taking it?

I don't know.

Look, lady, I'm doing my damnedest,
okay? But a blank is a blank.

All right.

I'm sorry.

Don't touch me. I don't like to be
touched.

Fine.

Uh,

why don't we, uh, try some impressions?

Why don't you try closing your eyes and
then just seeing whatever comes in,

okay? What sights, sounds, or images you
get. Will you try that?

Okay.

It's hard, though.

It's very dark.

Damn zeros, they won't fit.

Zeros like on the sign?

I don't know, maybe.

Rachel, please try. You have to give me
something I can help you with. Oh, yeah,

you want to help me, huh?

Light. Glasses like the kind you drink
from or the kind you wear?

Were the lights street lights, Rachel?

Uh, maybe.

People, there's cars.

Like in a parking lot?

Thank you, McCall. I think you've led my
client far enough down the primrose

path for today.

Was it a parking lot, Rachel? I don't
know. Yeah, whatever you say.

Yeah. It's a parking lot. I killed the
guy in a parking lot. Rachel, quiet.

Not another word.

Are you saying that because you saw it
on TV or a newspaper or because you

remember, Rachel?

Rachel has done a good job. I think she
deserves a little rest.

I love it when people try and help me.

I'm just the kind of person people stand
in line to.

I got some news. I was waiting for you
to take a break. Did you see the look in

her eyes?

She's carrying so much hate in her for
herself. You know, I'm telling you

something. Her shrink says he doesn't
think she's capable of killing anybody,

and I agree. I think that woman's
innocent.

McCall, we just got to where they found
the gun in the dumpster over on

Highland. It's got Rachel Sand's
fingerprints all over it.

Sergeant McCall?

Yes. I'm Eva Sands.

Rachel Sands, Mother?

Yes.

Please sit down.

How can I help you?

Is, uh... Is Rachel going to go to jail?

She's in psychiatric detention at Oak
Park.

She's being tested.

If she's found competent, the D .A.
plans to file charges against her for

Gerard murder.

Didn't her attorney, Mr. Dunbrower,
contact you?

I figured he was just in it for the
money.

I told him to do whatever the court will
pay for and nothing else.

I can arrange to have you see her. Oh,
don't.

She's not expecting.

You think I'm hard.

I didn't say that. You put up with her
for 39 years, and you'll be wishing to

God, like I do, that something would
happen to get free of her.

You know, last year, she went after me
with a knife, and they still let her

I had to buy that gun.

Were you badly hurt?

Yeah. Well, not actually from the knife.

Well, what happened?

Oh, Rachel had one of her conniptions.

She grabbed the butcher knife.

She was cussing the blue streak.

She was waving it around and jabbing it
in the table.

You know, the next thing, she would have
come after me with it.

Did she?

I didn't give her a chance.

I ran.

Slipped on the floor and bumped my head
on the cabinet.

I threw my back at her. I had to have
traction.

So Rachel never actually came at you
with the knife?

No.

But she could have.

Dr. Lynch, extension 108, doctor's
lounge.

Dr. Lynch, extension 108, doctor's
lounge.

I understand she was injured.

That's true, but the reason Mrs. Sands
was admitted to the hospital was because

she injured her back.

Now, why in the files does it say that
Rachel injured her in a knife attack?

Indirect cause, I guess. Rachel hadn't
come to me at that time.

Well, I think you ought to correct that
file, because the fact is Rachel has

never assaulted another person.

That's true.

Her entire history is of violence
against property, things.

But then she did threaten you.

Oh, this is so bizarre. Why all this new
behavior? Why would she stop taking the

one drug that she knew could help her?

Let me ask you something. Would any of
these patients here ever stop their

medication without your approval?

No. No, we monitor them as closely as
possible.

We fill nearly a thousand prescriptions
a day for the resident patients alone.

Why? Well, maybe the dispensary had a
mix -up. Maybe Rachel did take her

but they just weren't hydroloxin. That
couldn't be us.

Hydroloxin is prepackaged for the test
patients at Urogenics.

When you tested Rachel's blood, you were
only looking for one drug in

particular, right?

I had to. Some of these psychoactive
drugs work in such minute amounts, you

a computer.

You can't just go on a witch hunt.

Well, still, if you were on a witch
hunt, what drugs would you look for?

Gas chromatography is kind of like
trying to sink the eight ball in the

wearing a blindfold.

You can hit it, but then you have to go
looking for it.

What?

Never mind.

Pence gave us a list of 61 drugs he
thought might account for Rachel Sands'

behavior.

Literally millions of molecular eight
balls.

Well, did we find it or not?

Sure.

Doxonazone. She had a healthy dose in
her system.

All right, very good, Kevin. That one
was at the top of Pence's list.

Yeah, and this is not something you're
going to find in a corner either.

Well, now, do you think her prescription
could have been filled accidentally

with this drug?

Well, I'm not a pharmacist, but I don't
think it would be very likely.

And don't forget, urogenic package,
especially for the test group.

Makes it sound deliberate, doesn't it?

This drug was prescribed by the
psychiatric community quite often until

effects became known.

Doxonazone promotes psychotic behavior.

Why would someone want to give a drug
like that to Rachel Sands?

Technically speaking, to make her flip
her lid.

That's patently impossible.

Well, it happened.

I have no idea how Rachel Sands got
doxonazone into her system.

It's a crude drug with many problems.

It's hardly used. We don't even have any
here.

Look, all I'm asking is for you to
check.

She obviously had the wrong drug in her
blood. Maybe she got it through an error

at your end.

Well, you're damn right I'll check.

And Captain, until you hear from me,
you'll be well advised not to make your

suppositions public.

Right, Doc. Thanks.

Well, they swear they don't have any.

Doc's on his own promotes psychotic
behavior.

Now, how could Rachel have had this drug
in her body?

Maybe somebody wanted to make her crazy.

Darling, I wish you'd return my calls.

Don't ignore me. I hate that. I told you
what I'd do if you didn't...

Good evening.

Take it easy, dear.

Good night.

Good night, Rosie.

Oh, my God!

Help!

They're amazingly acute.

Any little change in the lab routine
will set them off.

I think I know the doctor's gone.

Who's working here after hours?

Business hours?

Well, any of the researchers. We've got
20 or so active grants, a couple foreign

co -op teams, literally hundreds of
experiments going.

Biochemical work doesn't run on an eight
-hour clock.

I was in the cryo lab when the power
failed me.

Arson said that there was a massive
power surge first.

Do you think security could get me a
list of who was here?

Possibly.

But the scientific staff uses the
security entrance off the parking

all have electronic keys.

Oh, it's impossible to calculate what
we've lost tonight.

He was a genius.

We'll never know what else he might have
done.

Well, he'll get a posthumous Nobel
Prize, but...

So what do you got?

Well, I think Rasmussen figured out who
switched Rachel's pills.

Yeah. Whoever killed him for it, you can
bet he's covering his tracks by now.

I think you should be looking for a
connection between some urogenics

and Michael Geronimo.

Yeah.

Uh, let's go back around the corner
here. It's even more private.

You know, I've been trying to reach you.

I'm sorry.

He kept calling me, so I finally just
went to my sister's.

I hope this is nothing. I mean, I know
you already caught that woman.

Wait a minute. Who's been calling you?

There's this man.

He's been watching me and sending me
things.

Like yesterday, he...

He left a rabbit in my car.

What, a rabbit?

Yeah, he's crazy. He must think that I
might be interested in him now since

my... I, uh...

I met him at a club. I mean, he met me
at a club, and I was

already engaged to Michael.

So I didn't give him much encouragement.

But then he got into this dream of
fantasy.

And now he's saying these terrible
things like he's going to kill himself

won't... If I won't have him.

Why don't we start from the beginning,
okay? Why don't you give me a physical

description? His name, where he works.

He's pretty average looking. He's about
35.

He wears glasses.

His name is Victor. I think he works in
some kind of a laboratory.

I still don't like this. I'm going in
there. Sid, it won't work in a crowd.

Now look, any incriminating statements
you make will not be used against you.

Okay, I accept that.

I'm just not sure I want it to work.

Sid, I'm going to buy you a donut.

Okay. You came outside.

It was about 8 .30.

And you wrote it on the back here. You
wrote any four for $5.

Would you write that again now?

I'm not a trained SEAL. Rachel, I didn't
say that you were. I'm just... You got

a memory block. I'm trying to help you
to remember, okay? Will you just write

that down?

You're satisfied?

This is the way it turns out. I can't do
the damn thing.

And then this, right?

And then you do this. What are you
doing?

Where the hell are we going?

I don't know. You tell me.

You remember walking away, didn't you,
Rachel?

Remember that?

Not really.

Well, it all looks the same. There's
cars, people, light, and glasses.

Don't touch me. I told you never to
touch me. Do you remember a man in

Rachel? He took your purse. Remember
that?

He took your pills right out of your
purse, Rachel.

It's a man with the glasses. Took your
pills. Do you remember that? Do you

remember? And then he did this.

Do you remember that, Rachel?

He put the gun in your hand. Do you
remember, Rachel? The man with the

put the gun in your hand. Just like
that.

I was so sick. I was coming apart. I
didn't know. I know.

I know. You were sick because he
switched the medication on you, Rachel.

Was this the man?

Was this the man you saw?

Is this the man who did it, Rachel?

I'm sorry.

No, Rachel, you didn't do anything.

Yeah, I did.

What?

I don't know, but I must have done
something.

It's okay, Rachel.

It's going to be all right.

John William 157 on the backup code 2 at
337 Fulton Street. That's your genetics

laboratory. Roger.

Hi, you've reached 7790.

Please leave a message in the time you
called.

Thanks.

I know you're there. You can't just
pretend.

Leave me alone.

Darling, I... I don't want anything to
do with you. You can't just... Now

listen, I told the police how you've
been hounding me, and if you don't stop

they'll make you. Darling, don't hate
me.

Does he always work at night?

He works whenever he wants to. He's a
level three.

I got backup coming.

As soon as they get here, you let them
in, all right? Will do.

If there's a power failure, can you get
this thing open?

Yeah.

Ten seconds.

Victor? Come out where I can see you.

Put the gun down, Victor.

I knew it was a reach, but it had a
chance.

Maybe I pressed a little too hard.

Victor, put the gun down. You're not
thinking straight.

You're telling me.

Come on, help me.

How you doing, Rachel?

Dr. Pence is sending me home today.

Actually, I believe he's arranged to
have you go into a group home where

everybody works and pitches in. I think
that sounds great.

Yeah, well, I'll believe it when I see
it.

I think you'll see it.

Dr. Pence strikes me as a man who stands
by his word.

Mr. Eller's been expecting you at work
on Monday, too.

Sure.

Until I screw up again.

You know, Rachel, there's a lot of
people out there that like you.

I like you.

Why don't you give us a break?

You like me now, but, uh...

Just wait.
