All language subtitles for Hunter S06E04 A Girl Named Hunter1

Tonight on Hunter.

I have a young girl about ready to give
birth. I want to thank you so much for

everything you did for me tonight.

Listen, that's what we're here for, to
protect and to serve.

Sometimes we even deliver.

What would you say if I named the baby
Hunter after you? Named the baby Hunter?

That's correct.

Stupid moron.

I'll take care of it. Gotta find that
baby.

Police! Police!

How you doing, Charlie?

Hey, still working? I thought you had
Raiders tickets.

I did, until Mr. Wellman shot Mrs.
Wellman, remember?

Oh, yeah, you should have given those
Raiders tickets to Rodriguez. He's a

Raider nut. No, no, you see, what I
should have done is this.

I should have given Rodriguez a Wellman
case, I should have given you the Raider

tickets, and I should have gone out with
Barbara.

Ah, yeah, yeah, I see.

Whatever happened to her anyway?

She married Rodriguez.

Listen, I had a pal one time.

He had a really big red beard. I mean,
really big.

Oh, wait a minute. Does this have a
moral to it?

Yeah, I'll get to it.

Anyway, one day he shaved it off. Next
time I saw him, I couldn't even

him. I said, why did you shave your
beard?

He said, Charlie, I couldn't tell
anymore whether I was wearing the beard

beard was wearing me.

I want you to think of this job as a big
red beard.

I will, Charlie. Get me a razor.

Uh -huh. Good night. Good night. How
about that, Miggles?

Please stand back, please. Thank you.
Give her some room. Give her some room.

How are you, huh? What happened? She
pressed the button to walk and fell on

ground and grabbed her stomach. I think
she's in labor.

I see. Okay.

We're going to get you a paramedic,
honey. Would you stay with her, please?

Okay. You just relax, sweetheart. Just
relax. I'm going to get you a paramedic,

okay? People, stand back. Give her some
room. Thank you very much. Get back.

William 56.

Go ahead, 56.

I have a young girl about ready to give
birth at the corner of San Pedro and 2nd

Street. Need a paramedic? 1 William 56
requests a paramedic unit at the corner

of San Pedro and 2nd Street.

Come on through, folks. Come on through.
Let me through.

No!

Could you help me spread this out,
please?

Practice your breathing now. Practice
your breathing. That's right.

Those contractions are about a minute
apart.

Okay. I better take a look here. Paul, I
need the gloves.

Okay. Let me take a look here. I'm going
to take a little look.

Keep breathing.

Breathe a little bit.

Okay. All right. There we are. There we
go. All right. Okay. Just take a breath.

Short breath.

All right. Short breath.

Okay. That's right.

Just relax.

That's right.

Officer, could you give me a hand down
here? This baby's coming now.

Okay.

Hold on. Keep breathing. Now we're going
to push all at once, okay? I'm going to

count to three. Bear down and push. You
ready?

One, two, three.

Go. That's a girl, Cheryl.

Good girl. Good girl. Good, honey. Good,
Cheryl.

Bear down.

That's it. That's a girl.

That's it.

One more time. One, two, three. Bear
down.

That's it. That's it.

You got it. You did it.

Would you like me to take the baby to
the nursery so you can get some rest?

no, thanks. I want to keep her here.

You're going to stay right here in
Mommy's arms forever.

Now there's a picture for you.

Hi, come on in.

I picked this up for her downstairs.

Thanks. I'm so glad you came by.

Thanks very much.

I hoped I got the chance to meet you.

Sergeant Hunter, LAPD. Cheryl Donovan.

Hi, Cheryl.

Hi.

So, where's the proud papa?

Oh, he's at work.

Well, how's he feel about everything?

He thinks it's great.

Great.

Listen,

I want to thank you so much for
everything you did for me tonight.

Hey, listen, you don't need to. That's
what we're here for, to protect and to

serve. And even deliver.

Can I hold her?

Oh, sure.

Come here, baby.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my goodness. You want to be up here,
don't you?

Oh, you want to be up there. Oh, what
are you on? She might be tired, too.

Yeah. So what's your name?

I haven't figured one out yet.

What? No name? Come on. We got to get a
name for you.

I know. I know. I'm working on it,
though. All right.

Here we are.

So, you're from San Diego, huh?

Yeah.

Hey, you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I mean, if there's anything you need,
just let me know. I'll get it for you.

Thanks.

Hey, what would you say if I named the
baby Hunter after you?

Sure, why not?

Yeah, why not?

I'd like that, wouldn't you?

Here he comes.

Dr. Hunter, please report to the
nursery.

Will you look at this?

Oh, this is... This is all from the best
baby boutique in Los Angeles. That's

right.

Are

you

having fun?

Let me tell you something. I've been
wearing hot shoes for this department

the last ten years, and nothing matches
what happened to me last night.

You should have seen my bedside manner.
No, you mean curbside manners.

That's pretty funny, isn't it? Let me
just tell you knotheads one thing. She

named the baby after me.

Not really.

Little Ricky. No.

The little girl, she named her Hunter.
She named the baby Hunter?

That's correct.

And it's a lot better than Charlie or
Dee Dee, isn't it?

Look, doesn't somebody have something to
do around here besides blow smoke in my

face? Come on. Someone's got to be
shooting somebody somewhere.

What's the mother like?

Well, that's an interesting question.

I think she's underage. I also think
she's a long way. Really? She says she's

from San Diego and that her husband is
working.

What's he do?

Well, see, I didn't ask, but I don't
think she's married.

Did she say what she was doing up here
in L .A.? Well, I could say. I didn't

a lot of questions.

Other than being lonely, she seemed to
be okay to me.

Maybe we should call juvenile hall.

Well, you know, wait a minute. See, I
thought about that.

Opposite side of that coin is, look.

She's healthy.

Baby's fine.

And I just, you know, I just forget
about it. She'll be all right.

Oh, yeah.

Well, let's hope so.

And thank you, doctor.

Here, have a cigar.

This must be your eighth one today.
That's the most disgusting thing.

Calloway's Canteen. This is Angela.

Hi, Angela. It's me, Cheryl.

Cheryl. I had my baby.

It's a little girl.

Hey, that's great news.

So is everything all right?

She's gorgeous.

I'm going to keep her, Ange.

I've made up my mind, and I know in my
heart that I'm making the right

Honey, why don't I come over to the
hospital and we'll talk?

No.

I've really made up my mind.

But look, Ange, I want to thank you for
everything that you've done for me.

I mean, if it weren't for you, I
probably would have wound up throwing

the boulevard.

You'd be surprised at the things you
forget as you get older.

I'll keep in touch.

Bye. Bye -bye.

I'm very eager to have a child.

It's just so frustrating to wait.

Every adoptive couple in the world feels
like that. There just aren't enough

children to go around.

What about newborns?

As a private attorney, I've had some
success placing newborns, but

the waiting list is longer than ever,
and you still have to have the approval

the birth mother, you have to have the
approval of a state -appointed social

worker, and even then...

You still have to wait certainly a year
before the child is legally yours.

You're saying this could still take
several years?

I'm saying it might.

Isn't there any other way?

Hi.

Excuse me, it'll only take a minute,
okay?

Angela, hi.

Uh -huh. No, no, Angela, I'm afraid it's
just not a realistic alternative, okay?

Look. I'm in a meeting right now with
some clients, and I'll get back to you

within the hour, all right?

Okay. Bye -bye.

Sorry.

Mr. Martin, do you really want to
discuss the alternatives?

Please.

Good day, ladies.

Isn't this Cheryl Donovan's room? Oh, it
used to be her room.

What do you mean, used to be? Oh, she
left this morning.

What, did she check down? No, she just
left.

Are you a relative?

No, I'm Sergeant Hunter.

Oh, you're the one who delivered the
baby.

Yeah.

How would I find Cheryl Donovan? You
could check with the front desk.

Oh, would they have addresses nearest of
kin?

Mm -hmm.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Is she getting many visitors?

There was a woman who came by. I thought
she was the mother, but Cheryl said she

was just a friend.

Now, what about the men in her life? Any
boyfriend?

Yeah, one of those muscle builder types
was here.

I said, what are you going to do the
right thing and marry the girl?

He said, none of your business, old man.

Hey, if I was 10 years younger, I'd
smack him around a little. You know what

mean?

Say, you wouldn't happen to have any
information on that boyfriend? Would you

like an address, a phone number or
anything?

No address, but I got his license
number.

He used to park in my space. I had him
towed away once. He didn't like it.

Tell me, how does a 15 -year -old girl
afford a place like this?

She always had the money in cash.

When's the last time you saw her?

She came by around 5 o 'clock.

Gave me the keys, told me she was moving
out.

Showed me her baby.

She was so happy.

Ever see this girl before on the right?

Yeah. She's the one who came around.

Really?

You think you might be able to show me
that license plate number now? Sure.

Come down to my apartment.

What are you doing still here? I thought
you went home.

Hi, Charlie.

Oh, I've got a call on Cheryl's doctor,
and I'm waiting for a DMV report on

Cheryl's boyfriend's car. Yeah, yeah,
yeah.

You've been daydreaming, admit it. Now,
let me guess, she's 7 pounds 6 ounces,

19 inches long, pretty blue eyes. And
I've been trying to get a hold of

parents and mother in San Diego, but no
one seems to be answering the phone. So

she is from San Diego?

Yeah. That's about the only thing she
hasn't lied to me about.

Make the call, but go easy. Find out
you're a grandparent for the first time.

It's a real shock to your system
sometimes.

Yeah.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine. I've just been thinking
about that little baby. Baby Hunter.

You know, round face and all.

Little sausage -like arms.

Make the call.

All right, Charlie. See you tomorrow.
Good night.

Okay, darling.

Sweetheart, now listen to me.

You voluntarily entered into a legal
contract to provide your services as a

birth mother, in exchange for which, for
the last nine months, we've provided

you with food...

Clothes, medical expenses, a roof over
your head, a reasonable spending

allowance.

Look, I'm going to pay you back.

Darling heart.

When Angela found you, you were eating
out of garbage cans.

Where are you going to find $15 ,000?

$15 ,000?

At least.

Look, I'll go to San Diego and I'll
borrow some money from my mom and...

She's going to be so glad to see your
little girl that she's just going to

you that kind of money even if she has
it.

Hey, and the kid's mine, too.

And I think we should stick with the
deal.

Look, you just want your stud fee.

I mean, look at her.

Don't you feel anything for her at all?

Well,

I do.

I mean, I never thought that I could
feel anything for anybody.

But now... I'm even starting to like
myself.

Strictly business, babe.

I want my baby! It's not your baby! You
gave it up!

Stay away from her! You crazy!

Cheryl,

sweetheart. Cheryl!

I'll take care of it.

Gotta find that baby.

The DMV says the car Cheryl's boyfriend
drove was a 1988 red Corvette, license

number 2VFZ110.

It's registered to a Randall Wayne
Johnson. He lives in Venice.

I'm going to see if I can pop out there
and catch up.

I'm going to go over to that lunch net
where this photo strip was made. See if

can find this lady in the picture.

Talk to the doctor that wrote the
prescription for Cheryl's prenatal

Got it.

Sergeant Hunter? Yes, ma 'am. I'm Vera
Donovan, Cheryl's mother.

Oh, hi. How are you? Come on in.

I know you said to wait for your phone
call, but I couldn't just sit in San

Diego knowing Cheryl and her daughter
were here.

Well, that's understandable.

Please say hello to Sergeant McCall.

This is our captain, Charles Devane.

Captain, do you think I might be able to
use your office?

Sure.

Thanks, Charles.

For over a year, I've been praying I
would see my little girl again.

And I hadn't fought with her. She hadn't
run off.

When Cheryl left, my whole life came to
an end.

Every day for the last year, my only
thoughts of what I would say to her when

she came home.

Please find her baby.

Find my little granddaughter.

I guarantee you we'll do everything we
possibly can to find her.

Okay?

Thank you.

You steroid.

Sergeant Hunter, L .A. Homicide.

Looking for a guy named Randy Johnson.
You know him? Yeah, I know him.

You know where I can find him?

Did you try his house?

Yeah, he's not home.

Yeah, he just used that as a mail
pickup.

Probably off with some babe.

He's got a new one every couple weeks.

You know what I mean?

No.

He's got lots of girlfriends.

Most of them pregnant.

Oh, what do you mean pregnant?

I mean, he's got three or four
girlfriends, and they're all pregnant.

So if you're a homicide cop, who died?

Bill on the left.

Oh, my God, it's Cheryl.

You know her?

Yeah, I know her. What happened?

Thank you very much.

Well, we got a new shift.

It's not so bad. Were you ever that
sick?

No. I wasn't.

Not in the beginning, anyway.

Did you like it?

What, the soup?

Angela Wilder?

Mm -hmm.

I'm Sergeant McCall.

I'd like to talk with you about Cheryl
Donovan.

Sure thing.

Hey, you better run along anyway, honey.
You don't want to be late.

Okay, bye.

Uh, could we go down to the end of the
counter?

I think it might be a little more
private.

Sure.

Well, what about Cheryl?

Cheryl was killed sometime last night.

Oh, my God.

We found her body this morning.

I just spoke with her yesterday.

She was so excited.

What about the baby?

We don't know yet.

What was your relationship to Cheryl?

She used to come in here a lot.

Hang out.

We'd talk if it wasn't busy.

Sometimes I'd take her food so she'd get
a nutritious meal once in a while.

When was the last time you actually saw
her?

Last Saturday night.

She sat right here.

Well, did she seem depressed to you? Was
she upset at all? No.

She was real happy.

Wouldn't you say that you two were
close?

I guess.

I was 17 and pregnant once.

I didn't know how to take care of
myself, and nobody else was there to do

me.

Cheryl was a street kid.

We'd talk about her problems back home,
you know, parents that just don't want

to take the time to listen.

Yeah.

Look.

If you don't have any more questions, I
really think I'd like to be alone right

now. I just have one more.

Do you know a Randy Johnson?

No.

Sorry.

Listen, I just want to know what she
said to the lady cop.

She was asking about Cheryl. Why didn't
you tell me she was dead?

I told you it was just an accident.

Angela, this baby is worth $100 ,000 to
us. The parents are going to pick her up

tomorrow morning.

She's burning up. I never should have
left her with you. If just a fever,

make her well. You know what to do.

Damn right I know what to do.

Just in case you were thinking of maybe
talking to the police, you ought to know

I do still have all the evidence from
that little mess you made in San Jose.

Dominique committed suicide. I didn't
have anything to do with that and you

it. The police just might not see it
like that.

My God.

You're sick.

Both of you.

Just shut up and do what you're supposed
to do, and everything will work out

fine.

It's going to be all right, honey.

Yeah, Angie's going to take care of you.
Don't worry about it.

We'll make her all well.

Yes, I prescribed those pills.

I've been treating Cheryl.

Since she conceived.

How did she come to be your patient?

Through Felicia Green.

Felicia Green? Who is that?

She's an adoption attorney. She got my
name off a referral list with the state

adoption agency.

What do you know about her?

Well, I've worked with her for a long
time.

She's got a fine reputation.

She does a great job placing some of
these kids in very good homes.

Now, Dr. Slater, she was planning on
putting her child up for adoption, then?

Yes, she was.

You wouldn't happen to have the
paperwork on her and her child, would

No. As a matter of fact, we've been
waiting some time for it, but the

of Adoptions, it happens.

Isn't eight and a half months an awful
long time to wait around to see who's

going to be paying the bill?

Well, I'll have to talk to my bookkeeper
about that.

Sergeant, what does all this have to do
with Cheryl's death?

Well, we're not quite sure yet.

Thanks very much for your time. We
greatly appreciate it.

Is the possibility of getting Felicia
Green's address up?

Certainly. Then what happened to the
baby?

We don't know.

We're still looking.

What do you know about the father?

Nothing.

You see, in a place like Cheryl's, where
the girl isn't married, the law says

that we only have to deal with the
mother, and I don't have any idea who

father even is.

Do you know a Randy Johnson?

No.

Mrs. Green, why doesn't Dr.

Slater have the state adoption papers
for Cheryl and her baby?

I see.

Sergeant Hunter, we're very well aware
that the papers have not come through

Cheryl, which is the reason that I was
picking up her medical expenses.

Oh, I see. Is that standard practice in
these cases?

Cheryl needed my help.

And it is, after all, my job to try and
see that these babies are placed in

homes where they'll be loved and well
cared for. And I try very hard to keep

that goal in sight.

I see.

Well, do you mind if we send someone
back here tomorrow morning bright and

to go through your files?

Not at all.

So what do you think?

What do I think? I think police is
involved in this up to her neck. I think

knows exactly where that baby is. What's
this?

William 56, go. Get yourself over to Our
Lady of Mercy.

17th and La Quinta.

Somebody just dropped off a baby on the
doorstep.

Leave your car here. Let's go.

The floor thing was brought here by a
woman.

She ran away when I tried to question
her. I summoned the paramedics before I

called you.

Is that her right there in the green?

Yes, that was her.

Thanks very much, Sister.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was wondering, do you know the baby's
name?

Hunter.

Hunter Donovan.

We'll be praying all night for little
Hunter.

Sometimes help.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

I'm going to go pick up Angela.

Yeah, after I drop you off, I'm going to
go pick up Miss Donovan and head over

to the hospital. I'll be there if you
need me.

When the paramedics brought her in, she
had a running temperature of 101, which

isn't critical.

However, there was some respiratory
distress, which is why she's in the

isolette. Yeah, but she is going to be
okay. Is that right?

Well, there's certainly no immediate
danger. However, babies can dehydrate

quickly, which explains the IV.

But she's going to be okay?

She has every chance of a full and
complete recovery.

We just have to keep a close eye on her.

And you are all set.

Yeah? How do I look?

You look great.

Miss Donovan, I can take you back to the
hotel any time you want.

Thank you, but I think I'm going to stay
here for a while.

You don't mind if I stay with you, do
you?

No, I'd like that.

must have liked you very much to name
her baby after you.

Thanks for being her friend.

I'll be right back.

Charlie, what's up?

How's the baby?

Well, there's some concern, but they
think she's going to be okay. Now, did

McCall find Angela?

No, she's still out looking for her.

You were right to check into Angela's
priors, though.

She's got a record as long as your arm
up in San Jose. A lot of petty things.

DUIs, bad checks, possession of drugs
for personal use, things like that. Not

very good friend for a runaway kid, is
it? No, but here's the kicker.

On every count, her attorney was Felicia
Green.

Felicia Green. McCall and I talked to
her earlier.

What about Randy Johnson?

He never came back to his place. Looks
like he disappeared.

God, we've got to find him.

This came in the mail for you today.

It's from Cheryl.

Postmarked yesterday.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, I think everything's okay, John.
You go back in there.

You tell that baby to hang in.

They listen to you.

It has something to do with the tone of
your voice.

I'm serious.

The doctors will tell you.

Anything you want me to tell her?

Just hang in there.

Okay, thanks.

Thanks, Charlie.

Hi. Hi. How's the baby?

They think she's going to be okay.

What do you got on Angela?

Preliminary shows that it was death by
manual strangulation.

I found hair and fibers underneath her
nails.

Here, take a look at this.

There's page after page of young girls,
and most of them are pregnant.

Oh, my Lord. Here's Cheryl pregnant. She
looks like a little baby.

She was.

Here, let me show you something.

There's a picture in here of a girl that
was at the luncheonette when I went to

go interview Anne, huh?

Name is Sally. Sally Thomas. The dress
is on the back.

Sally Thomas.

She's pregnant.

If she knew Cheryl, maybe she knows
Randy.

Maybe.

Mrs. Green introduced me to this guy,
Randy, and we started seeing a lot of

other. And then she arranged for
everything else.

She pays for me to live here.

I got $1 ,000 as soon as we were sure I
was pregnant, and then after the baby's

born, I get $9 ,000 more.

A lot of girls do it for her.

I mean, it's better than being a hooker
and getting all kinds of diseases.

After the baby's born, I'm going back
home with my money and show everybody.

Then they'll see.

How old are you, honey?

Fifteen.

Fifteen.

Now, when Randy's not at his house,
where does he stay?

At a great apartment Mrs. Green bought.

It's in Venice near the boardwalk.

Where exactly?

On Catalina Terrace, 269A.

Yeah.

Felicia Green, have a warrant for your
arrest. On what grounds?

Try complicity in the murder of Cheryl
Donovan and Angela Wilder, for starters.

Angela Wilder?

Yeah, did you forget about her?

I have not seen her for years.

Right.

Save it.

Cuff her. I do think you should know
that I will be suing both you and your

department for false arrest.

You go right ahead, honey.

Hire a lawyer.

Get one with some ethics.

Get her out of here.

Open up, police!

Break, police!

Good. And she's doing great. They say
she can go home in a couple of days.

Oh, that's great.

Hey, listen, I hope you don't mind, but
I did some extra shopping. I got a bunch

of stuff outside.

That's very sweet of you, Sergeant.

I see you're getting to know one
another.

A social worker from the California
State Adoption Agency came by this

Look, Vera, if you want this baby, I
think you can get her.

Oh, Sergeant.

How can I raise this baby after my
failure with Cheryl?

There's so many things to do. Let me
just tell you something.

This is an opportunity for you to take
this baby and push ahead for the future.

You understand me?

That's what Cheryl would have wanted.

How do you know?

She wrote me this letter before she...

It's been a long time since I've taken
care of a baby.

I don't know if I can be trusted.

I think Cheryl trusted you.

And I think I trusted you.

Here, take your granddaughter. Oh.
