Tonight on Hunter.

Come on, guy.

I don't think it's such a good idea.

Why don't you wait here? We'll be right
back.

Stop, you little punk!

Don't move!

You're staring the murder rap square in
the face. It's not going to go away. Ben

is innocent.

I'm telling the truth and no one cares.

Your father cares.

Oh, yeah?

So what? You must help him, Sergeant
Hunter.

He is your son.

Come on, guys.

I don't think this is such a good idea.

Then why don't you wait here? We'll be
right back.

Ben, relax.

Nick.

Get in!

You shot her! Just get in the damn car!

Don't move, punk!

Morning belly bomb.

This is just what I need right now.

What are you going to need to cut
through the material you got there?

We. And that's because Kinnons and
McGovern are at TDY, the academy, and we

their opening. Those coneheads can't
type. No kidding.

Rick, I got a guy at the desk that wants
to talk to you. Yeah, look, can't type?

You're going to need that.

How do you do? I'm Sergeant Hunter.

I apologize for taking you away from
your duties, Sergeant.

My name is Nguyen Tran.

Oh, what can I do for you, Mr. Millian?

It's about my son, Ben.

He was arrested last night.

There was a shooting, and he was with
the boys who did it.

Oh, the Elegant Motors shooting.

Yes.

But Ben is innocent.

Oh, I think there's been some sort of
mistake, Mr. Nguyen. I'm not handling

case. Sergeant Matthews is.

I'll get him for you.

Please.

I hoped you'd look into Ben's case
personally.

Oh, I don't understand.

Ben's mother was someone you knew in
Vietnam.

Linh Dan.

When my tour of duty was up, I asked
Linda to marry me and come back to the

States, but she wouldn't leave her
family.

I know.

Twelve years ago, I received a letter
saying that she had died in a refugee

in Thailand.

The letter never did mention a child.

I wrote that letter.

She spoke often of you. She told me that
you wanted to become a policeman in Los

Angeles, so that's where I sent a
letter.

You are a man who makes his dreams
reality, Sergeant.

Well, not all of them.

I got home, I wrote her many more times.
She never answered my letters.

Then when Saigon fell, I wrote her
again.

All my letters were returned unopened.

The regime was very hard on anyone who
had any affiliations with Americans.

She was sent to re -education camp for a
couple of years.

Of course, she wasn't allowed any
letters.

I was sent to the camp as well because I
served.

the South Vietnamese Army.

That is where I first met Linh, the
child.

Ben is not your blood son?

Before she died, she asked me to make
two promises.

The first...

That I would always protect Ben. The
second, that I would never tell him that

his real father was alive.

But because what happened last night to
Ben, I must break the second so that

I may keep the first.

You must help him, Sergeant Hunter.

He is your son.

I'm Sergeant Hunter. Have a seat.

You're in a lot of trouble, you know
that?

I had nothing to do with that guy
getting shot.

I already told that to the detective.

Where is he?

Well, he's doing something else right
now. I'm taking over for him.

He didn't believe me, so I figured you
won't either.

It's quite a story you got here.

In your statement, you said you were
with these two guys and you only knew

by the nicknames of Slice and Speed. Is
that right?

That's right.

And you never got their real names?

Hey, what's the point?

No one believes that. I didn't know they
were planning to steal a car or kill

anyone. Sit down.

Hey, look.

I'm telling the truth and no one cares.

Your father cares.

Oh, yeah?

So what?

So what, huh?

Look, you got two choices. You can feel
sorry for yourself and go to prison for

murder, or you can shut up, relax, talk
to me, and maybe I can help you. Now,

what do you want to do?

Hey, what does it matter to you?

I'm a police officer, Ben.

It's my job. Now, you want to talk or
not?

Why don't you start from the very top
and tell me what happened?

Hey, how you doing?

Hi.

Just talked to Joe Matthews.

So what's this about us taking the
elegant import shooting?

Oh, yeah, look, I was going to talk to
you about that.

Better late than never.

It's very personal.

It's personal?

Yeah.

Well, I thought we decided that if
something personal came up in a case,

shift it over to somebody else. Look,
you're absolutely right.

I'd like to make an exception in this
case.

You'll go along with me, I don't want
you.

Yeah, okay.

Thanks.

No, I've never seen this kid around
here.

Do you remember a couple of guys in
their 20s who might have been hanging

the showroom?

Oh, man.

A lot of guys come in here, you know,
with big dreams and empty pockets.

I'm sorry, I tend to only remember the
ones who buy.

Yeah, sure.

Well, you think these guys came in here
to case the joint or something?

Well, yeah, it's possible.

Tell me something, is that... Is it
unusual for Svelteman to be working that

late?

No, not really.

Franz had a lot of paperwork to finish
up. He'd had a big day.

Big day.

When I heard out what happened, it made
me sick.

He was such a good guy.

There's Kenny.

You want to come with me?

Yeah.

Ken?

This is Sergeant McCall.

Ken Martin. Oh, yes, of course. We spoke
on the phone.

Right. Anything new since that?

No, the stolen car hasn't turned up yet,
and the vehicle that was left on the

lot didn't have any prints.

Something will come up.

I'm sure you're doing all you can.

Come on, we can talk in my office
upstairs.

Ken?

The boys on the floor have kind of
pitched in for some flowers, so just let

know where we can send them. Oh, Julie
is making all the funeral arrangements,

so talk to her, Jack. Okay.

Thank you. My pleasure.

You're handling the funeral
arrangements.

Didn't Mr. Riggle have a family?

Well, we get a lot of rolling stones in
this business, Sergeant, and Franz was

Austrian.

He never talked about family back home.

To tell you the truth, I don't know
anything about him other than his

sales report.

I'm going to pay for the funeral.

It's the least we can do.

Morning, Uncle Ken.

Hey, Danny.

Customer for me?

Oh, I'm afraid not.

This is my nephew, Danny.

Oh. Sergeant McCall, LAPD. Hi, Danny.

Hi. Right.

Geez, I hope you catch the creeps who
kill France.

I'm sure we will.

Is something wrong?

No, nothing's wrong.

You look a little tired over there. Want
a soda?

How about you just get me out of here?

Ben, you think this is a joke?

Huh? You're staring the murder rep
square in the face. It's not going to go

away, you know.

What if I don't find Speed or Slice in
any of these books?

Don't worry about that when the time
comes.

Meanwhile, keep looking.

Why

don't

you give me one, too? Only if you have
good news for me.

Well, how about 26 reasons why I ought
to buy an imported car, but other than

that... Could come up with anything?

Not yet.

Why a couple of guys in their 20s would
want to hang out with a teenager?

Especially if they're going to rip off a
car and let the kids in on it. I don't

think he was in on it.

He's got a couple of priors, truancy at
school, shoplifting.

That doesn't make McCarthy for an
accessory to murder, does it?

Well, look who's here. The only two cops
in the department that don't have a big

enough case load.

Do you mind telling me why you took the
Regal case away from Matthews?

Interesting case?

Really?

Is that why you pulled strings to have
your only suspect released to his

father's custody?

What the hell is going on here?

Okay, I think we all better have a talk.

And the kid still has no idea that
you're his father?

No, he doesn't.

You gonna tell him?

Tran said it's up to me, but I don't
think his mother would want me to.

What do you want to do?

That's a good question. I don't know.

You know, looking at Ben, I feel as
though the war stole a little bit of my

life, too, you know. I just don't know
what the hell I want to do right now.

She should have told you that she was
pregnant.

She couldn't, Charlie. She knew I'd come
back for her and the boy. She'd have

never left Vietnam or her family. But
she did leave. They ended up in

Look, I know that.

That's because her family was wiped out.

By that time, she was married to Mr.
Nguyen.

Yeah, come in.

Captain, the vehicle stolen from Martin
Motors has been found. It's at the

impasse. Oh, thanks, ma 'am.

Charlie, look, I think the boy's telling
me that you would like to help him.

So what are you waiting for?

Thanks.

Looks more like vandalism than it does
an accident.

Get the lab over here and have them take
a look at it.

Yeah? Sergeant McCall.

Hi.

Well, I see you found our car.

You sure did.

Jack Stone, Dan Martin. This is my
partner, Sergeant Hunter. Mr. Stone? My

pleasure. And I'm Martin. Boy,

look at this, would you?

They destroyed a $50 ,000 car.

We're going to have to have her towed
out of here. The car is not going

until we have a look at it.

Mr. Stone, no hands, please.

Oh, sorry.

I can't believe France was killed just
so a couple of kids could go joyriding.

Did you have any luck with that dink kid
that you caught?

Now, what kind of language is that?

I'm sorry.

Didn't mean anything by it.

I'll let you know if we find anything
out after we release the car.

Good. We'd appreciate that.

Should we go?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Sergeant Hunter!

It's him.

That's the guy.

That's Sly.

You sure about that?

Yeah. McCall?

Look who Ben found.

Ron Miller, aka Slice.

I'll get an address on the guy.

Good work, man.

You do great work, Tran.

I'll take it.

My father and his father before him are
very

respected diamond cutters in Vietnam.

Well, you've learned well.

I can never repay your kindness for what
you have done for Ben.

He's not the one who I did slice.

I did.

Sergeant Hunter, I would like very much
for you to have dinner with us

tonight.

Well, if it's not too much of an
imposition, I'd like that very much.

Then I would consider it a great honor.

Tran, the meal was delicious. Thank you
very much.

I don't think I've had authentic
Vietnamese food for... Well, it's been

time.

Sometimes I find it difficult to get all
the ingredients here.

That's why when you live in America, you
should eat American food.

I think it's nice to have both.

Why don't you clear the table?

Sergeant Hunter, I have something to
show you in the living room.

Sir.

But you might want to see this.

She was beautiful, wasn't she?

That was taken years before we met.

I know I have the same photograph at
home.

Why are you showing him that?

Who I just thought he might find it
interesting.

The only one who finds all fours of
Vietnam interesting is you. There is

wrong remembering how things were.

There is if it keeps you from accepting
how things are.

You

must

understand.

It is not easy being caught between two
worlds.

When he's trying so hard to fit in.

I know that.

It's probably one of the reasons he's in
so much trouble.

Hello, Danny Martin here. I want my cut
of the diamonds, and I want them now.

What the hell is your problem?

I got a call from my landlady. A cop's
been checking me out. The dink must have

spotted me in the mug book. I got to get
out of town.

All right, slice man.

Relax. You relax.

Be in my place in 15 minutes, or you're
going to find out how I got my nickname.

Don't get too comfortable. I just got a
possible address on the flight.

I thought you said his landlady didn't
give you anything.

Oh, no, she didn't. I checked with the
post office.

This guy is so intelligent, he's having
his mail forwarded.

Shot once with a large caliber.

Could have been the same .45 that was
used to kill Regal. I'm betting 10 to 1

is. If that's true, Ben could be in an
awful lot of danger. Yeah, I'm going to

set up surveillance in Tran's house.

Drop me off. I'll go talk to Stone and
Martin.

Sergeant Hunter, why is there a
policeman?

What's wrong?

Ron Mellor, the man Ben identified, was
found shot to death in his apartment.

Is the killer after Ben?

Well, we're not sure, but just to play
it safe, we're going to keep the house

and Ben under surveillance.

I promised Mr. Delta I'd recut a diamond
for him. He's coming for it today.

I'd better call him and tell him I'm
staying home today.

Look, Tran, why don't you go ahead and
go to work?

I'll stay here with Ben.

It'll be all right.

When?

A few later, huh?

Yeah, right.

He has such a sense of duty.

To rich fat cat customers.

What's the problem, Ben?

You're kind of tough on your father,
aren't you?

He's a good man.

He's done nothing but love you.

He and my mother told me my real father
is dead.

But I know that's not true.

You see, he was some G .I. who got
lonely during his tour.

So he didn't number my mom about how
much he loved her and all that.

Then he went back to stateside and
forgot all about her and me.

Well, maybe he didn't know about you.

Oh, yeah, right.

We think that he was one of the men that
stole your car off the lot.

No, I've never seen him here.

But I'll show it around the sales
meeting tomorrow morning. Maybe somebody

Well, good. I'd appreciate that. You
know, it's possible that he came in

as a customer to check out your
security.

I don't understand any of this. I mean,
why all this bloodshed over simple car

theft?

We're trying to figure that out, Mr.
Martin.

I have been in this business for 30
years.

I have never seen anything like this.
I'll answer it.

Kids are just nuts today.

I mean, they run around, they're hopped
up on drugs, armed to the teeth.

What kind of society are we living in?

Let me know if any of your salesmen
recognize that man, would you?

I will, Sergeant.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ken, when is Danny coming in? I've got
some invoices I need him to sign.

Oh, I gave him the day off. He said he
had some errands to do. Well, by the

bring those invoices up to my office.
I'll take care of them myself.

Right, right.

I'm going to need you.

Yeah. Tell me again you don't know
anything about the diamonds, Danny boy.

Tell the Dutchman here.

Diamonds?

The hell are you talking about, Jack?

Wait till my uncle hears about this.
Hey!

Don't treat me like a fool.

The cops showed me a mug shot of a guy
I've seen you hanging out with.

So what?

Okay, okay.

Now I'll tell you where they are.

They're in my car.

Behind the radio speakers.

Check it out.

Buddy. Who else was in on this?

Nobody.

You really are a ruthless little sly,
aren't you?

I'm shocked, Danny.

I'm really shocked.

So, what put you on to our little
enterprise, Danny?

I heard you talking in the office next
door with Franz.

You didn't know I was there.

You saw an opportunity to get ahead.

Do you think you can fence diamonds like
car stereo, son Danny?

Not only do you steal from me, but you
whack my cutter.

Who, Franz?

So you don't know everything after all,
huh?

A good diamond cutter is more valuable
than the stones, Danny.

Hey, I had my own cutter all lined up.

The dink's old man, we were gonna hold
the kid hostage and then the old man was

gonna do the diamonds for us.

He could still do it.

than I thought, Danny boy.

Yeah,

wait here for me, Ben. Okay.

Yeah.

Danny Martin, huh?

Yeah. One small caliber slug shot to the
back of the head.

Ben!

You feel like making an ID on the
gentleman?

I've seen dead people before.

The speed?

Yeah. If Danny wanted to take a joyride,
why would he steal a car?

Now, Ben, that night at the car lot, was
there anybody else there besides Speed

and Sly?

What do you mean? Well, did you see them
talking to anybody?

No.

Like I said, they were just out to grab
their car.

They broke through the gate and were
looking through all the windows with a

flashlight. What were they looking for,
keys in the ignition?

I don't think so. They broke in. Wait a
minute. Were they looking in the

windows, or were they looking at the
stickers on the windows?

Yeah.

They were reading the stickers. I
remember now. Yeah, they were looking

specific car.

This one's too slow for you.

I don't know where else to go. I've run
background checks on everybody that

works here, and they're all clean.

Let's check out Regal.

Why? Guy was a victim.

I know. Let's check him out anyway.

Okay.

Let's go, Ben.

Good night, Hoyden. Good night, Mr.
Nguyen.

Come with me quietly.

Doesn't look like anybody's home. Maybe
I should come in and wait until your dad

gets back.

Look, I don't need him, and I don't need
a babysitter.

Ben? I told you I didn't need a
babysitter.

Why don't you just leave me alone?

What do you know about me anyway?

I know your father married your mother
when you and she had nothing.

He brought you to this country.

Gave you a good home, loved you.

And when you got in trouble, he called
me.

Yeah.

Yeah, why you?

Why not some other cop?

Because he knew I was the only one that
would help you.

But he told me he never met you before.

He was telling you the truth, Ben. He'd
never met me before.

But your mother had.

I'm your father, Ben.

All of a sudden, there's this cop who's
helping me out.

I should have seen it.

Ben, listen to me. Why didn't you tell
me that before?

Because I didn't know how you'd take it.
No, you just feel like I was worth it.

That's not true, and you know it.

Yeah, it is.

Or maybe it's too damn ashamed to have a
half -breed for a son.

That's not true. Ben, damn you!

Go. Hunter.

Hunter, I'm down at the Diamond Mart.
Two guys just came in and snatched Mr.

Nguyen Tran.

The security guard saw the whole thing.
He called it black and white. We have

any ID on the two guys?

From what he said, it sounds like one of
them could have been stoned.

Nice work, Mr. Nguyen.

But you're going to have to hurry it up.

See, time is not one of our luxuries
here.

Okay?

You know, if you do a really exceptional
job here today, we could make this a

regular thing.

You know, cut you in.

On the other hand...

Screw this job up even a little bit.

That's when I'll have to break all your
fingers.

Yeah, okay.

All right, keep me posted.

What do you got on Trant? Anything?

No.

That was McCall. She was phoning from
Stone's apartment.

It's clean as a whistle. Looks like he
cleared out. Damn!

They gotta be here somewhere, Charlie.

Look, I can tell that you're...

He's upset about Ben, but he's going to
turn up. We'll find him.

Yeah.

You know, that boy's been angry for so
long.

I just felt as though if I didn't tell
him, he'd go on being angry the rest of

his life.

Well, for what it's worth, I think you
made the right decision.

Yeah.

Right, Bill.

17 years of age, Amerasian, 5 '9", about
145 pounds. Last seen wearing jeans,

jeans jacket, white tennis shoes.

Right. He's on foot, so he probably
hasn't gone very far.

Great, appreciate it.

What's up?

You were right about Regal. He is new at
selling cars. Used to be cutting

diamonds over in Austria. They were
smuggling diamonds.

Got an address on Regal? Yeah, 75 West
Hillshire in Hollywood.

Great.

Superlative.

I told you you could work with speed and
precision at the same time.

All you needed was a little faith.

Kill him!

Freeze, police!

Tran?

Hey, Tran.

Just relax.

You're gonna be okay.

Harrison. RA unit immediately.

Code 3.

Take it easy. You're going to be okay.

How you doing?

Very tired.

Have you been here long?

I've been here since they brought you
in, Duran. You've been in surgery for

about three hours.

There are things I must say to you. My
Lord, you should rest. We've still

about it.

that should thank you, Joanne. You
brought Ben into my life.

Father.

When I got home, the priest man told me
what happened.

I would have been here sooner, but...

This is all my fault.

I'm so sorry.

He's sleeping now.

I hope he'll be okay.

Ben, he's gonna be just fine. He just
needs some time to heal us all.

You hungry?

No. I think I'll just stay here until he
wakes up.

I can't change what's happened to you
over the last 17 years, Ben.

I just want you to know that...

Right now, I just want to be your

friend, if you'll let me.

All these years, I wonder who you were.

What you were like.

I wonder if I was anything like you.

I just wanted to know who my father was.

Well now you know.

You should also know that you've had a
father for the last 17 years.

A good man.

A man that's loved you, raised you,
given you a good home,

worried about you.

I think that's a pretty good definition
of fatherhood.

I'd just like to be a part of your life,
Ben, if you'll let me.

That's up to you.

I'm gonna come by and see your father
tomorrow morning.

I guess I am kinda hungry.
