Tonight on Hunter.

All the burns on the body were not
caused by the fire.

Torture. Somebody nosing into our case
again?

Yeah, and I don't think he did.

Where is Tingo Chavez?

He's a man who's going to make you very
rich.

So we got a two million dollar puzzle
and we're missing some pieces.

One of my couriers is an informant.

Take me to Becky right now.

If I had 20 cops down here beating the
bushes looking for her, in two hours I'd

hear it on the nightly news. Still am,
John. I shot him.

We didn't find him till this morning. He
was under all the debris.

Does this fire tie in with the one
Monday on 34th Street?

Yeah, I think so. So does your boss.

This place has got the same burn pattern
as the first place. Low charring. The

suspect used a flammable petroleum
product to put on the body again. I'm

was gasoline.

You said my boss was Charlie Devane
here?

Devane? No, no. This guy was a
lieutenant.

Said he was from Homicide.

What was his name?

Lieutenant Jack.

Jack something.

He was asking questions.

Like what?

Age of the victim, sex, you know.

I'm sorry if I was out of line. No, no,
you're all right. I want to ask you

something. Did we ever get the ID on the
first victim? No, we're working on it.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

Sergeant Hunter, L .A. Homicide. Hi.

You see what went on here?

Sure did.

I thought the dude who started it.

Yeah? Yeah, he jumped in his truck and
he drove off down the street. What kind

of truck was that?

Just one of them go -anywhere 4x4s.

You know, I thought every house on the
block was going to go.

You wouldn't have got the license to do
it. Hell yes.

It's 2KX0715.

Welcome to the Regency, Miss Baca.

Sacramento Operator, hold for your
contact, switchboard.

Switchboard. I'd like to get in touch
with Jack Chance immediately, please.

I'll have to patch you through.

Patch me? Please hold.

He's on assignment in L .A. Tell him
it's Becky.

Ringing now.

Yeah, Jack Chance here.

Hold for Becky.

Put her on. I gotta talk to her right
now. Come on, now!

Who are you calling?

Oh, you.

We were a little early, and I wanted to
find out if the car was on the way.

Get her back!

It's a long -line call.

I'll try.

What are you doing here, Tingo?

I thought you'd just send the limo for
me.

Mr. Sherman's very impressed with your
work. He wants to meet you, Becky.

And just who is Mr.

Sherman? He's a man who's going to make
you very rich.

Oh, let me help. Here.

Hank, take this.

You could have made two trips.

No, I couldn't.

By the time I got out to the roach
coach, all the really good stuff would

been gone.

What is this thing, anyway?

It's a file of every arson fire in L .A.
over the last four years.

Devane said there was another John Doe
arson murder last night. I figured I'd

check it out and see if we can tie it
into a known arsonist. That's a good

Do me a favor.

Run this license plate of a 4x4 through
the DMV.

See if anybody's run it in the last week
or so.

Be very discreet about it.

Somebody nosing into our case again?

Yeah, and I don't like it.

Remember the battalion chief at the 34th
Street fire? He said there was a

detective snooping around there. We
couldn't identify him. Well, he's back

again. So what do you think, FBI?

He could be anybody.

I don't know who he is. He's on my case.
I don't like it.

Anyway, I'm going to get a rundown on
this number here. Give me a call. Okay.

Wait a second. Did you get an I .D. on
this morning's victim?

No.

Like your Danny shoes.

Burned beyond recognition.

I feel that.

Yeah, Tony, are you sure about that?

All right, good.

Well, listen, I do appreciate the
effort. Thanks.

Robbery, homicide, and the negative.

What about the major crime unit?

No, I saw Captain Casey at a retirement
dinner last night. I think he would have

mentioned it.

What makes you so sure that it's the
cop?

Maybe it's just the firebug getting his
kick.

No.

According to the arson investigators at
the scene, our boy has been asking some

very specific and technical questions.
He's legitimate, right?

All right, well, I'll call the feds.
Maybe they've got somebody working down

there.

Here's the post -mortem on John Doe No.

2.

He was bound to a chair.

Like John Doe No. 1, he was also shot
once in the back of the head.

Very interesting on page 2 there.

All the burns on the body were not
caused by the fire.

Preliminary investigation says maybe
high -voltage electricity.

Torture?

Wasn't that fast?

I'll say.

The 4x4 is registered to a Henry
Granado, 11921 Wilshire Avenue. I

checked. It's a condo. The car has been
run twice.

Two weeks ago by the county clerk's
office.

That usually means they're prepping a
repossession. Who ran it the second

I don't know. Somebody in Sacramento
this morning, 0900.

But who in Sacramento?

The computer refused to ID the
requesting agency.

What?

Now, that doesn't happen very often.

I don't like that.

I'm going to make some calls.

Did you match Granato's car to a
driver's license?

Yeah. They're correlating the
registration address to licensed

13 Henry Granatos in the state.

Got the pictures on the way by laser
pack.

Good. I think what we should do is get a
search warrant for Granada's

condominium. I'll go out and sit on it
until you show up.

Sounds good.

I think he's definitely Hispanic.

Can you tell how old he is?

Well, I'm not even going to be positive
even when I'm finished, but I'd say he's

probably in his mid -30s.

How soon can you have this guy together?
We got another one this morning, same M

.O.

Well, I'm not real sure about the hair,
but the face is pretty close.

Henry Granato.

That was fast. How'd you manage to do
that so quickly?

Well, the killer drove Granato's 4x4 at
the scene of the second murder.

Well, I think you ought to tell that to
the lieutenant. He certainly didn't seem

to know that this morning.

Let me ask you a question. Can you tell
me what this hotel looked like?

Yeah.

Let me draw it.

Thank you.

I'm Philip Sherman.

How did your trip go?

It went fine. I prefer flying, but I
understand the concern.

It's a little too risky right now with
the feds watching all the airports now,

isn't it?

Bingo.

Any chance you were tailed?

Absolutely none.

Good.

Should be 2 .5 million.

It's all there.

Oh, I'm sure it is. But we'll count it
anyway.

You see, uh...

Becky, we've been, well, experiencing
sort of a cash flow problem on the East

Coast.

I'd like to get your input, if you don't
mind, on what we could do to protect

ourselves against any future
interruptions.

You'll have to be a little more
specific, Mr. Sherman. I don't... Of

Let's see.

Two weeks ago, we lost a million and a
half dollars when it arrived in Miami.

Now, you and Mr., uh... Granado.

Yes, Granado.

Transported it there.

Now, six hours after you turned it over,
the feds arrested my people and

confiscated the cash.

Why didn't you tell me? Hey,

everything went fine.

We followed Tingo's instructions to the
letter. You asked Henry.

Oh, I have.

Believe me, I have.

A week later, we lost a million in Fort
Lauderdale.

Now, you and your husband moved the
money that time. Is that correct?

Hey, wait a minute. and now you're
accusing us of something that happened

thousands of miles away.

Hell, we could have been back in L .A.
by then.

You know what?

That's exactly what your husband said.

Right up to the end.

What's going on here?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

Oh, I know one thing for sure.

One of my couriers is an informant.

Maybe more than one.

Now, Henry and your husband both denied
working for the law.

You're the only one left to question.

Phoenix and then Tucson and San Diego?

I'm wondering why you had me on the road
for six days.

You were keeping me tied down.

Where are they?

You know what, sweetheart?

I would suggest...

that you concentrate on saving your own
skin.

Now, are you working for the cops, Mrs.
Bucca?

You are crazy.

I'm leaving now, and I would suggest you
do nothing to stop me.

Never gets easy.

Does it, Tingo?

Hey, McCall!

I'm in here.

Hi. Hi.

There's suitcases, a money counter, and
some clothes in the closet, not much

else. This apartment has two spaces
assigned to it, and the garage is

there. And there's no 4x4 out on the
street.

Manager said Granato had a couple living
with him, a Becky and Dave Baca.

And my guess is they left in a hurry,
and probably a few days ago. This

pretty moldy. What'd the manager say
about Granato?

Said it was pretty secretive. Kept to
himself, didn't say too much. He leased

this place out for 1 ,800 bucks a month,
paid cash.

Let's go check the rest of the place
out. Come on.

Okay, let's see what we got here.

Got anything?

Well, I don't know. You tell me.

What is this?

Oh, wow.

What do you think, was the ethanol
scare?

I don't know, but this looks real.

Huh. Check this out.

That's Granada.

That must be John Doe number two, huh?
Mm -hmm. Question is, where's his wife?

Yeah, Sherman. The cops just got a
search warrant for Granado's condo.

Relax, read the affidavit. Does it
mention anything about an informant?

No. It appears to be a routine follow
-up to a murder investigation.

They're looking for a suspect.

Everything's fine, right?

Stop by.

Got a little something special for you.

You see Tingo Chavez around here today?

We open at five.

You could help me out here. I mean,
Tingo, he owes me a few bucks, and if

could point me in the right direction, I
could make it worth your while.

Look, geezer, hit the bricks running
before I tear your head off.

Why don't we just...

Never again.

Where is Tingo Chavez?

This is it, pal.

Hey, what do I know? He blows in and out
of here like the wind.

Where does he live?

I don't know. In my mother's eyes.

Now, this could be the end of the ride.

So you think this over real careful.

Who does he answer to?

The owner.

Sherman. Philip Sherman.

And where is he?

What the hell do I know?

Bingo.

Roll around the block. Got a felony one
in that four by.

1 William 156, go.

156, meet 1 Adam 9, code 2, 6 in
Alvarado, regarding your 187 vehicle.

Yeah. 56, roger.

Sergeant Hunter was the affiant on the
warrant.

Is there any indication that Grenada was
working for the cops?

No, nothing that I saw.

Look harder.

Monitor their entire investigation.

I'll buy anything you can get.

There's no backup.

Everyone's tied up with a barricaded
suspect on Wilshire. Yeah, I heard all

about that.

Where is he?

Motel down the way. He met two guys,
loaded some suitcases in the four -by,

back inside.

Where's your partner?

He's down there with a rover, keeping an
eye on the motel.

Okay.

You guys take the alley. I'll go through
the front and try to get to these guys

before they hit their cars, okay? 1 -M
-19, the driver's out of the room and

he's getting into the 4x4.

This is it.

Keep going.

Remember, south end of the alley behind
the motel.

What have we got? Did you get an I .D.
on him? No I .D. as of yet, but I want

show you something. Come here.

That's the sign of the cross.

Madre Tatu.

Mariolito.

Yeah. Cuban. That's what it looks like
to me. Come here. Let me show you

something.

Must be more than a million bucks there.
Yeah. Drug money?

Well, I'd say if it is drug money, it's
being laundered.

The two mules who were handling it took
off and hurt the gunfire.

So we got a $2 million puzzle, and we're
missing some pieces.

Yeah. I think we got one more piece of
the puzzle to take a look at, huh? All

right, let's go. Bill, take the money.

Don't even blink.

Don't even think about that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jack Chance.

Sacramento PD.

Okay, Lieutenant.

Okay.

Now.

Want to tell me about your friends?

You shouldn't have left you this long.

But Tingo got held up.

He was caught with another $2 million.

Would you like to tell me how they found
out?

I don't know.

You don't know.

You really don't know.

You feel something? You're feeling
better?

Huh?

I can do this as long as I have to. You
can't.

Now tell me.

You're working for the cops.

And I'll make it go real quick for you
after that.

How long you been in town, Lieutenant?

Not long.

Listen, Captain, I'd like to apologize
for going around with your Sergeant

Hunter here.

Why don't we just call tonight a wash?
I'll go home. Sit down.

You're not going anywhere till I find
the truth.

So sit down.

And I'm not buying your, I'm down here
looking for a fugitive crap either.

Why didn't you check in with us?

Why didn't you let us know you're
working on a case down here?

What's the matter, all the phones in
Sacramento busted?

What's your interest in Henry Granato?

Now, look, Chance.

We know that you were nosing around that
first arson homicide, the one on 34th

Street Monday night.

The victim was Henry Granato.

You know, I can call your boss and get
him out of bed if you want.

Henry Granato was my informant.

All right.

And the rest?

I'm on loan to the state attorney
general.

It's a task force working on a money
laundering operation.

They're mulling drug profits to the east
coast and down to the Bahamas.

My primary suspect is a Cuban.

A Marielito named Chavez.

Tingo Chavez.

What about the couple, the Bacchus? Dave
and Becky, they were staying at

Granada's condo.

State agents, working undercover, posing
as a man and wife.

I think you may have found Agent Baca
this morning in that second torched

house.

Well, I can understand why you're
anxious.

What went wrong?

Well, the feds, they wanted some money
for evidence.

What does it say?

It's supposed to look like accidental
seizures.

I tried to convince them it was too
risky.

Chavez and his people, whoever they are,
I didn't buy for a minute, so... He

started looking for leaks right away.

So you think Chavez killed Granato and
Baca to plug the leaks?

What about Mrs. Baca?

Her name's Becky Cruz, and he's probably
working on her right now.

Why didn't you let us know? We could
have searched for her. Because you got

leaks down here.

Damn busters. Well, then lay them out.

I ran some phone calls, a couple of
license plates.

Chavez found out.

And that's when everything went to hell.

So you can understand why it is I'm not
too interested in you messing around

with my case.

Listen, I'm really dragging.

You think you could have your sergeant
here drive me back to the hotel so I

could bag a couple hours sleep? Because
then in the morning, early, we could go

out, get Tingo Chavez. I'm sure he'd
take us right to Agent Cruz.

Is that Chavez?

Yeah.

Say, how'd it happen to him?

I shot him.

You big, long bastard.

He was the only way I could get to her.

All right, what the hell went on?

Look, it was an accident. The cop
spotted his car at the motel. It was an

accident.

It was no accident. They were looking
for that car.

Damn fool should have burned it.

He should have listened to me.

All right.

Is there any indication at all that they
know about me?

None. Can't you find out?

Can I find out?

This whole thing is taking a lot longer
than I thought.

Now with Tingo dead, I've got to do
every little damn thing by myself. No, I

need all the help I can get.

I want you to be extra vigilant for the
next couple of days. You understand?

If I don't move five million down to
Grand Bahama Island by this weekend,

they're going to... I'll let you say
I'll be permanently persona non grata in

Bogota.

154 .83 omegahertz.

That's our tech one.

Yeah. Just in case I need a backup.

Just in case?

You know, you do have backup. Why don't
you use it?

This, uh, this is all the information I
have on the case.

Telephone tolls, address checks, and a
complete background on the late Dingo

Chavez.

You ought to get some sleep. You're
losing your edge.

I think you're right.

If you get out of here, I call it a
night.

Unless you intend to camp on my
doorstep. No, I don't intend to camp on

doorstep. You know, you still haven't
answered my question. Why the solo

operation?

If I had 20 cops down here beating the
bushes looking for her, in two hours I'd

hear it on the nightly news.

I don't intend to lose any more agents.

What would you do if it was your
partner? I'll tell you what I'd do.

I'd beat the bushes until I knew she was
safe.

But I'd use every available resource
given to me to do it.

Yeah, you're right.

Matter of fact, I'm sure of it.

You're at my edge.

Now get some sleep.

I'll pick you up at 0700.

0700.

He's very nice.

Until I find out.

So when I get to his room, I check and
he's gone. The bed hasn't even been

flipped. Well, I talked to his captain.

He says chances are a bolt off with no
rogue.

But something is driving that man hard.

You know, I get the impression that you
like the guy.

Well, look, I understand you. I think
you do, too.

He's lost some people he cared about.
He's close to you.

No, he won't be doing any sleeping.

He's out there sitting on somebody.

All right.

You keep me posted.

I'm going to call the Justice
Department. We don't know all we should

one. Right.

Hunter? Come here. I want to show you
something.

Ah, yes.

What is that?

A telephone toll analysis.

Agrusa over in narcotics took the toll
records from Chance's file and he read

them through the NIN computer. Check it
out. This is what he's got.

You mean every drug connection in
California has been calling the El

Exactly. It's owned by Philip Sherman.

Agrusa says that they've had a lot of
rumbles on him in the past. And by the

way, I checked on Granado's car.

For whatever reason, the county clerk's
office ran a DMV check. It wasn't for a

repo. One owner and he paid cash.

County clerk's office, huh?

And you know who issued search warrants.

For telephone record.

County clerk's office.

I'd like a number on that warrant,
please.

Okay.

Okay. Your number's 3411.

Thank you.

You have a nice day now. Thank you.

Mr. Sherman, please.

Look, if you got a case, make it.
Otherwise, I think you better release

Gloria, last week you ran a DMV on a car
registered to Henry Granada. Why is

that? Me?

Sergeant, anyone in the office could
have run that. I understand that, but

ID number is right there.

Look, if I'm the first one to sign on in
the morning, I leave the computer open.

We have 60 clerks in my office.

Right after Sergeant McCall left your
office, you called Philip Sherman. Why

that? I called my brother Frank. He's
been sick.

Your brother Frank.

You know what we did, Gloria? We tapped
your phone.

You called Philip Sherman.

You now have two choices.

One, cooperate with me, or two, you
gotta go to jail.

All right, these are the routes I want
you guys to follow, all right?

Also, I want a woman in every car.

Understand? Every car.

Make it look better.

And no one, excuse you, Ricky, no one
exceeds the speed limit.

You also got false identification papers
in there just in case.

Yeah, Sherman.

Wait, wait. Hold, hold, hold.

When did all this happen?

They just left. The cops searched
Chavez's place. Apparently he kept a

implicates you in two murders.

All right.

All right.

Just, uh... Just listen.

You gotta try to get a hold of that
diary somehow, because that's the only

that connects me.

Sherman!

Everybody just keep your hands right on
that table.

Now, why don't you just put that phone
down and slide out of here?

Because we're leaving right now.

Have a squad car meet me at 4311 Ventura
Boulevard, Code 2, hot shot, and then

lock her up. You got it, Sergeant.

Get on the floor. Get on the floor!

Come on.

What the hell are you? What do you want?

Just take me to her, okay?

You crazy? Take you to who? All right.

Just relax. Relax.

Just relax.

Huh?

You remember me, Giesel?

Drop it!

Can you have William 56 meet me on an
open tack?

Thanks.

I want to explain.

The Lembians have a representative down
here. His name is Tinker Chavez.

He's the one that called all the shots.

In fact, he's the one that picked up
Granado and the Bacchus.

Yeah, I mean, you know those cocaine
cowboys. Violence is the solution to all

the problems, right?

One should believe it.

I tried to prevent it.

How much further is it?

Roger, Air Nine.

It's flown out of Miami twice a month.
Ten million dollars laundered through a

bank in Grand Bahamas run by a Brit,
Ralph Pennington.

The connection is a Colombian
businessman who lives in Miami.

And I'll testify to that. That's what
you want, isn't it? Huh?

Then you can take everyone in.

Rear entrance.

Okay, you guys watch the front. I'll go
around the back.

Now, where is she?

Where is she?

Second door on the left.

Becky!

He'll be all right.

No, no.

No, please.

You gotta believe me.

It was Tingo who hurt her.

It was Tingo!

Jeff!

Killing a drug pusher isn't worth it.
Put the gun down.

I tortured Becky to death.

The law... I'll take care of him.

Put it down.

What would you do if it was your
daughter, huh?
