Tonight, on "Hunter."

Is she going to make it?

It doesn't look good.

There's been a shooting in Chinatown.

Apparently Chin walked right into a robbery in progress.

She got caught in the crossfire.

But she did a damn good job.

Did a good job?

What's the matter with you, Hunter?

You're incompetent, Drasso.

Chin acted properly.

They're going to clear her.

What case is he working on?

He's down in Chinatown, isn't he?

Chin did not shoot Leong.

I'll bet my pension on it.

You take your best shot.

Do you want a part of me? Come on.

Danny, it's too early for all this noise.

Hi, Officer Chin.

Why don't you get someone to help you?

You're not a.

You know the mind plays terrible tricks on the body.

It does not tell it how old it is.

Oh thank you, Miss Chin.

Hard work makes me appreciate the days end.

Keep this up and you'll be appreciated it

from a hospital bed.

Danny, stay here.

That man had a gun.

You're a dead man!

Shut up!

Get over there!

Police! Get over here!

There's been a robbery.

A shooting.

Three people dead.

13 Sunlung Way.

All units in the vicinity in one Adam nine,

an officer involved shooting.

Officer down.

13 Sunlung Way.

One Adam nine, your call is code three.

One Adam 13, assist code two.

- Is she going to make it? - It doesn't look good.

Brennan!

What do you got?

Not a hell of a lot.

Apparently, Chin walked right into a robbery in progress.

She got caught in the crossfire.

Any suspects?

Two Lin Zees.

One down, the other ran.

Probably wounded.

K9 guys are doing are doing a house to house now.

Who's on the job?

Your buddy Drasso's got it.

Did you notify the Chins yet?

Not yet.

Do you want to do it?

Yeah, I'll do it.

Who's he?

This is the publisher, Thomas Leong.

Took two hits from a 10mm.

Any witnesses?

Yeah, there's one out in front with my partner in the car.

You know, Brennan said this was a robbery.

There can't be $50 in this place, Drasso,

so I don't buy it.

You don't have to.

It's not your case.

The suspects here are Lin Zees and they

steal to exercise influence.

Establish territory.

What do we have on the suspect who fled?

Well, he's exactly like this one here except,

unfortunately, he's alive.

Well, things must have happened awfully fast,

otherwise she'd have activated her rover.

Whoever she hit lost an awful lot of blood.

He won't be very far.

But other than that, she did a damn good job.

She did a damn good job?

What's the matter with you, Hunter?

Hunter, you see most of these broads

can't even see over the windshield.

That's the result.

Yes?

Hi, I'm Sergeant Hunter from the police department.

Are you Mrs. Chin?

Yes.

May I come in?

Yes, please come in.

Thank you.

Please sit down.

Thank you.

Papa.

Papa.

Mrs. Chin, there's been a shooting at Chinatown.

Sandra has been hurt, but she's alive.

Where is she?

Is she going to be all right?

She's at Wilshire Memorial.

It's a very good hospital.

Henry Chin, you must be with your daughter!

She needs you!

Item four, one set of false teeth, uppers and lowers?

Yeah.

He bit her finger off.

Item five, one 357 Magnum Revolver, serial number 90711.

She got even.

Oh, the wonderful world of homicide.

Isn't it, though?

Bye.

Hey, gorgeous.

What brings you down to the glass house?

False teeth.

What is this?

Eggs and curry chili verde burrito?

What are you working the Hollenbeck division again?

- Dee Dee... - Get out of here.

You're such a mess.

What?

12 hours face down on a hot, dirty beer cooler

has robbed me of my sex appeal?

Where's my classmate?

He's sitting in on Chin's shooting review board.

That's Drasso's case.

Yeah, I know.

But Hunter is not above thinking that Drasso could hang around.

Oh, he ought to stay out of it.

It was a good shooting.

It won't take the board more than 10 minutes

to rule it in policy, you know?

Yeah, that's what I think.

But, uh, tell me something.

You were at the Academy with Hunter.

What is this thing with the bad blood between him and Drasso?

It's Drasso's beef.

He was our TO.

He used to pick Rick as his opponent.

Probably because he was the biggest recruit.

Hunter spent a lot of time on his face eating dirt.

It doesn't sound like my partner.

Yeah, well Drasso kept pushing it.

One day Hunter pushed back.

Rick turned him into a pretzel.

Humiliated the guy in front of the whole class.

Oh, come on.

Drasso can't hold a grudge like that for 16 years.

When Officer Chin first arrived on the scene,

she confronted the dead suspect Tommy Chung who was

positioned to her right front.

He was armed with a 38 caliber four

inch polished steel revolver.

Officer Chin fired two rounds, striking

the suspect in the upper torso.

He died instantly.

The second suspect, Paul Ky, was armed

with a 22 caliber automatic and he was

positioned to her left rear.

He fired two rounds.

One we dug out of the east wall.

Unfortunately, the other one found its mark

in the uncovered area just to the side of officer

Chin's bullet proof vest.

Now, she spun to confront the suspect.

She fired.

But two rounds found in Thomas Leong the publisher.

Paul Ky received another round.

Danny Lin, a witness, saw it in front.

She said that Paul Ky was hit in the upper torso.

Mr. Chairman, Officer Chin is a distinguished expert,

the best combat shooter this department has ever seen.

Are we to believe that Officer Chin fired two

shots into Leong's chest dead center

while turning all by accident?

I don't buy it.

Sergeant Hunter, I must deal with physical evidence.

The coroner categorically specified

that Thomas Leong was hit with two nine

millimeter hollow point rounds.

My ballistic people say that those rounds came

from Officer Chin's weapon.

I also believe this was not a robbery.

Why don't you deal with the facts, Sergeant Hunter.

The coroner says that Thomas Leong when he was hit

had his hands above his head like this.

Does that spell it out for you?

The witness says it was a robbery.

Mr. Chairman, Drasso's witness is

Richard Wing, a sleazeball bail bondsman from Chinatown.

I'd also like to know what he was doing

there at 7:30 in the morning.

Sir, he was down there placing an ad for his business.

And I do have a copy.

Sergeant Drasso has presented compelling evidence

that robbery was the motive.

And besides, this board is interested in establishing

whether Officer Chin used proper tactics and good judgment.

So Sergeant Drasso, please proceed.

Mr. Chairman, I think these hearings

should be halted until Officer Chin

can testify on her own behalf.

This board has an obligation to establish the facts

and report them without delay.

It's vital that we complete this review before the district

attorney's inquiry begins.

And Sergeant Hunter, I have allowed your repeated outbursts

in the interests of establishing a diverse point of view.

Mr. Chairman, I was present at the scene.

These two gloves in this photograph,

I'd like to know who the hell was wearing them.

Sir, the paramedics that treated Officer Chin...

Polygraph Richard Wing. He's a liar.

Sergeant Hunter...

You're incompetent, Drasso.

Sergeant Hunter, get out of here.

Remove yourself from this hearing immediately.

Now, I believe we're ready to reach a decision.

Hunter, wait up!

There's a girl lying on her death

bed in the hospital and they're trying to drive

a stake through her heart.

I understand how you feel but you've

got ease up a little bit.

Look, you can't take on the whole department.

Yes, I can.

I will not ease up.

All right, just try to relax, OK?

Look, maybe you're just acting a little prematurely.

Chin acted properly.

They're going to clear her.

Why don't you let me take you to lunch, all right?

We'll go over to Little Joe's.

Hunter!

Drasso really stuck it to her.

The board just ruled Chin used improper tactics

resulting in the death of an innocent man.

They felt she should have waited for backup.

Looks like they're going to try and nail her.

DEE DEE MCCALL: One William 157.

One William 156, come in.

157, go.

DEE DEE MCCALL: The DA called.

Our court case is ready for trial.

What's your ETA?

I'm tied up on surveillance right now.

Stand by.

157, cover me for a little while until I can break away.

Will you?

156, he wants you code two.

You're his first witness.

156, you copy?

Hunter?

Richard, I bet you're surprised to see me,

aren't you?

No, I knew you would come.

Hunter logic, because I was at the Leong shooting,

I must be involved.

Exactly.

You know, vice tells me you don't get up before 12:00 noon.

Vice cops, they lie when it's easier to tell the truth.

The truth is I had to be at the press before 8:00 or my ad

wouldn't have made the paper.

I see.

Now, what is it that you really want?

You ever see that guy?

Unfortunately, I don't know.

Is there a name to go with the face.

Yeah, Paul Ky.

Believe me, Sergeant Hunter.

I want to help bring this gangster to justice.

The Chinese community has a great affection for Officer

Chin and her family.

Well, that's good to hear.

And Thomas Leong?

Of course.

My people are out looking to locate this bandit.

You see, Hunter, this time I'm on your side.

My mother.

Oolong, the very best from Canton Province.

OK, Richard, if you get a line on Mr. Ky, call me.

Oh, and one more thing.

If anything on fortune should happen

in Mr. Ky such as malaria, diphtheria,

or the proverbial gunshot to the back of the head,

I'm going to hold you personally responsible.

Where the hell is he?

I think he got tied up on surveillance.

Did he know he was supposed to be in court?

Well, not exactly.

What is that supposed to mean?

I think he's radio is shot.

- Oh, come on. - I'm not kidding you.

I couldn't hear him.

I know he couldn't read me.

What case is he working on?

I think it was, uh, a follow up on the Daniel's murder.

Oh, save it.

He filed that case last week.

He's down in Chinatown, isn't he?

Well, that is one pissed off judge.

She just issued a bench warrant for Hunter's arrest.

Could you hold it a while until I catch up with him?

Maybe he's got an explanation.

Captain, if Judge Rupp gets her hands on him,

Hunter is going right to the slammer

no matter what story you come up with.

And in case you're interested, he's

right on the top of my list too.

I had to dismiss the case.

Excuse me.

Hey, Tom.

What do you say we go get a cup of coffee?

Look, Dee Dee, I'm sorry about the warrant.

When old Run 'em Up Rupp gets her nose bent,

well you better keep Hunter out of sight until she cools down.

Look, don't issue the warrant until I can get him in here.

We're talking about my job.

Why don't we talk about friendship, Tom.

Why don't we talk about old times, like the Red Dog grill?

Let's not.

Oh, come on let's.

Like on Thursday night after your bowling game,

you slid in there with a perfect game in your pocket.

You weren't there.

I didn't have to be.

You know how bowlers talk.

Now, let's see.

There was you.

There were two San Fernando cops.

There was the backup drummer to the "Go Gos"

and all of you guys got on a plane for Vegas

to go see "The Follies."

How did that fire start again, Tom?

Oh, and you still have the bullet in you.

You need medicine.

You must see a doctor.

Have you seen this man?

Yes.

He was the one who ran out all bloody.

If you want to find him, ask Peter Kwan.

He knows Chinatown.

He shoot Chin?

We think so.

Will she live?

I certainly hope so.

When you saw this man, did he have gloves on?

When he pushed me, I felt them on my face.

Rubber like doctors wear.

Officer Chin was my friend.

I want to help her.

Good.

You help me find this Paul Ky.

Mrs. Leong, I'm Sergeant Hunter.

I'm... I'm very sorry about your husband.

I appreciate your concern.

Thank you.

And how's Officer Chin?

She's still on the critical list.

I'm sorry.

I know her parents and share their grief.

Mrs. Leong, there are still some unanswered questions

about what happened here.

I know about your concern.

Some in our community think you're trying

to protect one of your own.

What do you think?

It's not what I believe.

It's the truth that is important.

Before your husband died, was there anything specific

that he was working on?

My husband by nature was a secretive man.

I'm from the old China.

We don't ask questions of our husbands.

I do know the paper had problems with the

and their.

You do know the term?

Yes, we call it extortion.

Would it be possible for me to see your files?

Of course.

You do know the Asian Task Force detectives

have already reviewed them?

Well, then I won't bother.

Once again, I'm very sorry about your husband.

Thank you for your time.

You never didn't know how to protect your back, Hunter.

You're driving me up against the wall, hot shot.

Why don't you do your job, Drasso.

I'll do mine.

Why don't you get off your crusade?

There's no mystery here.

It's one more good example of an inexperienced runt

cop who got in over her head because she used bad procedure.

I feel sorry for her.

And I also feel sorry for Mrs. Leong.

You've never felt sorry for anything in your life.

Your radio's not working.

I'm not going to bother to ask you where you've been.

McCall's already given me that cockamamie story about

your radio being on the fritz.

So when she's finished trying to cover your butt,

I'd like a shot at it.

Devane has just gotten reamed badly.

Drasso just filed a report against you with Dryden.

What do you make of this?

Ky and Chung were wearing gloves.

What if there was a third person who was a third person who

was wearing gloves?

Will you shut up and listen to me for a minute?

There's a warrant out for your arrest!

Hunter!

Time's up.

Get it here.

Bring that file with you.

Look, do me a favor.

Get a hold of the Asian Task Force.

Have them get a line on a Tong boss by the name of Peter Kwan.

I'll take the file.

You'll have plenty of other things on your mind.

Chief Dryden has instructed me to initiate

a personal complaint against you,

alleging obstruction and interference in Drasso's case.

Look, Charlie, I understand...

You don't understand!

Now, I don't care what Dryden said.

I said he can go pound sand.

But there's something I couldn't prevent.

You're being transferred to robbery.

12 on and 12 off.

Robbery?

Give me... come on, do something about it, Charlie.

I tried.

Drasso thinks that I'm covering for you.

And he also thinks that you're thumbing

your nose at the system.

That's why he locked you on this market stakeout

so that you'll stay out of the Chin case.

Let me tell you something.

Chin did not shoot Leong.

I'll bet my pension on it.

You already have.

The fact that he's here is a miracle.

Oh, he loves his daughter but there are

so many obstacles between them.

You think I could speak with him?

Please.

But don't be shocked by his attitude.

Doctor Dukes to CCU.

Mr. Chin, would you like some coffee?

Your wife has told me about your objection

to Sandra's career choice.

My father objected to me becoming a police officer too.

He objected vehemently.

He couldn't understand why. He wanted to know why.

So I thought back and I remembered something

that happened when I was a kid.

I saw a cop risking his life trying to prevent

a woman from taking hers.

And it was incredible.

It was... it was the most unselfish act I'd ever seen.

And I think that that's what it was all about for me.

It was the idea of being of service.

I like the idea of being able to help people.

That's what cops do.

Lord knows it's, uh, taken a while.

But I think...

I know that my dad is real proud of me now.

Before I came to your country, I was an English professor

at a university in Shanghai.

During the Cultural Revolution, they

branded me an enemy of the people, arrested me,

and took me away from my family.

I was interrogated, beaten, and later indoctrinated.

My oppressors, the ones who beat me up, my enemies,

were the police.

DEE DEE MCCALL: 1 William 157.

Hunter, the Asian Task Force reported the Tong boss

you asked about, Peter Kwan, he's having a private party

at the Seven Moon Pagoda.

I'm in route.

LA Police!

Everybody out of here! Let's go!

Move it!

Let's go, come on!

Out!

You're not vice.

What do you want?

Mr. Kwan, I want your word you'll help me find Paul Ky.

I understand you're an honorable man.

You know Officer Chin?

Yeah, I know Officer Chin.

She was the police officer that got gunned down.

Protecting your community.

You either talk to me, Kwan, or we're all

going to go downtown and talk to your parole officer

about what's been going on here.

I don't think Officer Chin shot Thomas Leong.

All right.

I'll help you find Paul Ky.

Had enough?

Guess not.

You want to tell me about Drasso?

It's obviously a lot more than just

the incident at the Academy.

Drasso was my patrol Sergeant.

One night, I busted a hooker in Hollywood.

She claimed I tried to feel her up, molest her.

Drasso believed her and encouraged

her to take her complaint to Internal Affairs.

So what's the big deal?

Every hooker makes that claim.

Right, now you get an idea of what kind of a jerk Drasso is.

I took a polygraph test to clear me name.

Can you imagine what it's like sitting there

for two days answering personal questions about your sex life?

Yeah, it's like that every time I go to visit my mother.

Look, why don't you just try to cool down a little bit,

ease back.

Something might break.

The doctor said that Chin's got a good chance.

I don't consider 50/50 a good chance.

Now, that girl deserves to know that she's

been cleared before they've removed that bullet.

I don't recall.

We were racing the clock.

I could have tossed my gloves anywhere.

I know that.

But do you think these are your gloves?

I already told the other detective.

Hey, these aren't my gloves.

- Are you positive about that? - Yeah, sure.

We use Trinity gloves.

They have a blue band around the wrist.

Those don't.

We're beating a dead horse.

No gloves were booked!

McCall, you know better than to tamper with another detective's

evidence, especially Drasso.

It's not tampering, all right.

It's, uh... it's window shopping.

Why don't you go get some coffee or something, will you?

You make me nervous.

But even if we find them, what's their evidentiary value?

I mean, the blood will obviously type to Chin.

It's not the blood we want, Brain.

We're interested in prints.

That's an interesting concept.

Prints on the inside?

It never occurred to me.

Yeah, it'll take time but anything is possible.

You know, Hunter,

if you had to pull robbery detail, you picked a beauty.

You could have been inside on top of a hot beer cooler.

Yeah, I'm real lucky, uh?

Hey, give me a rundown on the description

that vehicle, would you?

Uh, green van, primer spots on the right side,

driver is supposed to be a female.

Suspect Salt and Pepper, 5' 10", six foot, medium build,

armed with sawed-offs.

What do you got?

Nothing, false alarm.

So, Hunter, how you doing on the Chin case?

How does it look lime I'm doing on the Chin case?

I'm in a van reading a newspaper.

They got you by the short hairs, huh?

Yeah, temporarily.

Hey, it was inevitable.

Drasso and Dryden are golfing buddies.

How about some coffee?

No, thank you.

Units inside, I've got two probables headed your way.

Salt and Pepper team, Pattie's 30 years of age, 5'

9", 160, jeans, tanker jacket.

The black's about 35, six foot, 180, bare-headed,

khakis, navy pea coat.

Also be advised Mule's inside, probably at the snack bar.

He has not... repeat...

Not seen the suspects.

Roger.

I've got Pepper.

He's moving down the aisle.

OK, stand by.

Pattie's here in the back.

Looks like he's waiting for something.

OK, the dude's reaching into his jacket.

Wait a second.

He's putting on a ski mask.

He's just pulled a shotgun.

I'm coming in.

Repeat, I'm coming in.

Get down!

One William 156, meet with Peter

Kwan at 454 New High Street.

And be advised the Asian Task Force is standing by.

What do you got?

Paul Ky is still in Chinatown.

Good! Where?

Look, I'm not sure.

But go to the Hanling Herbal Shop.

Talk to the.

I'm sure he'll know where Paul Ky is.

Good.

Thanks.

You have anything for a gunshot wound?

I want to stop the bleeding.

You have Hunan?

Ky is holed up at the Shang Wa Apartments,

two blocks down the street, seventh floor, room 709.

Lee, you and Paul go around the back.

I'll go up the fire escape.

Get going.

I want you to deliver this to the front door.

He's expecting it from the Hanling Pharmacy.

Who is it?

I'm from the.

Wait a minute.

I have to get dressed.

Open up!

What do you want? Let go of me!

Let go!

We went out that window!

Get outside!

Move!

Paul!

I know you're hurt.

I want to get you to a hospital.

I don't want to hurt you, Paul!

Throw the gun out!

Paul, who killed Leong?

Paul, who killed Leong?

Win... Wing.

Come on, Devane.

Your boy is band standing.

Oh, back off!

Back off!

My boy found Ky when you guys were out looking for windmills.

Your boy was supposed to be working robbery.

His tactics were proper and well-thought-out.

In fact, if they had come here five minutes later,

Ky would have been gone!

Aren't you the least bit interested in getting

at the truth?

Whose truth, Hunter?

Look, what happened between you and me a long time ago

is forgotten about, as far as I'm concerned.

Now, Chin deserves to be judged fairly.

Before Ky died, he named Wing as the killer.

That's hearsay.

Wing used Chin's gun after she was shot.

Tsk, tsk.

I see you're going to have to do a lot better than that, Hunter.

What do you have?

You have a name dropped by a dying suspect.

It's going to take a lot more than that to wrap this case up.

It's inadmissible and you know it.

Now you take your case to the DA,

and if he files a murder charge against Wing,

I'll personally intercede with the board.

Do you know what you are looking for?

I'm looking for something that would

give Richard Wing a motive.

You're convinced Officer Chin didn't shoot him.

I admire your convictions.

My husband was like that.

Thank you.

Can I see another directory, please?

OK, let me see that one there.

Print that out for me, please.

Hi.

How about a little good news?

Great.

Wing lied.

He did know Ky and Chung.

Did a little bit of digging, guess

who posted bail last year?

Did you find anything?

Yeah.

Thomas Leong had just finished an in-depth study

on Wing's criminal activities.

He's into everything.

Extortion, money laundering, you name it.

Take a look at that.

This is great. Thank you.

You're welcome. He's in department 100.

Do you want some company or you want to go solo?

No, I think I'll make this a personal visit.

Thanks.

Devane told me I'd find you here.

You're still messing in my case.

Someone's got to do the work.

Why don't we do it right now, just you and me?

You take your best shot I'm going to clean

your butt with this pavement.

There's 16 years behind that badge, Drasso.

If it wasn't for that, I'd pound your head square.

Now, you know where I live.

You know what time I get off.

If you want a part of me, come on.

If you don't, shove off.

You made one fatal mistake, Richard.

Those gloves you discarded, had your fingerprints

all over the inside.

Come on, get up.

You've got nothing!

Hurry!

What's happening?

No one would explain on the phone.

She's had some further complications, Mrs. Chin.

They're taking her back into the operating room.

Doctor Lynch, extension 108, doctor's lounge.

Doctor Lynch, extension 108, doctor's lounge.

Honey, you're going to be all right, sweetheart.

Your father and I will wait right outside for you.

Just a second.

Sandra...

She's heavily sedated.

I'm sure she won't hear you. - I know that.

She'll hear me.

Sandy, the shooting review board ruled you acted within policy.

They commended your bravery.

The Chief has recommended you for the Medal of Valor.

We love you.

We love you, darling.

We love you.

You'll be all right.
