All language subtitles for Hunter S05E10 - The Pit

Tonight on "Hunter."

Well, these guys know
you're a police dispatcher

and that you work
the swing shift.

They're gonna kill
me if you don't help.

Whoever stole
that burning bar has

got a big job planned ahead.

$5 million in gold
bullion was unaccounted for.

Now, that's about 1,000 pounds.

If the police find me
or the gold, he dies.

Hold it right there!

Police!

- 1
- Adam 15..

Possible 4 15 gang.

They are now 1 5 4 6th
Street 1 2 4 9.

1 William 1 56.

Roger, code 6.

5 1 5 2 2 West 7th Street.

Adam 6, go to tag 2 for Adam 24.

Adam 6, go to tag 2 for Adam 24.

DET.

I know that
it's difficult, Mr. Gilman,

but please keep on going.

What else did they take?

Well, I made a check,

and they've taken a few things.

Uh, two welding tanks...

Uh, just a second.

They smashed down the front door
and they hit the nightwatchman.

They didn't kill the
guy, but he's elderly.

The ME says he had a stroke.

Hi, I'm Sergeant Hunter.

- I'm the manager.
- How are you doing?

What'd they get?

Two oxygen tanks,
a metal burning bar.

A burning bar, huh?

Yeah, we use it to cut
elevator or air conditioning

shafts in old buildings.

Uh-huh.

What else they got?

Box of goggles and
masks, half a dozen

ear protectors, and a sweet
old guy who never hurt anybody.

Thanks, that'll
be enough for now.

Thank you very much.

We have a witness
who saw the license

plates on a large rental truck
that was leaving this, uh,

building.

Uh-huh.

Well, whoever stole
that burning bar has

got a big job planned ahead.

Yeah.

What about Eddie?

Fine, no problem.

He's gonna wave us
through the gate.

Uh-huh.

You talked to our other friend?

Just now.

It's all set.

We don't have to
worry about the alarm.

All that leaves is our
loose end: the guard inside.

Just like you said.

Take care of the
guard's telephone,

take care of the guard.

Phone cable is buried.

We can't cut it.

So I did just like you said.

How did the kid react?

Scared to death.

Yeah, I bet.

He'll do anything.

Tomorrow night.

OK?

Tomorrow night.

Hey, Cates.

What's going on over there?

It's Rockland's second day
without his training officer.

Pulled a car over, the
guy got out with a gun.

It's a standoff.

Really?

1 Adam 43.

A responding code 3 to
assist 1 Lincoln 19.

They're one block south turning
the corner onto 5th Street.

How far away is he?

About 30 feet.

Are you properly deployed
behind the door of your car?

Yes.

Can he
hear the sound of my voice?

Can he hear the
sound of my voice?

Yes.

All right, I want you to put
the mic down, aim at his heart,

and shoot him.

OK!

OK!

Suspect in custody.

Code 4.

All right, Carol.

Roger.

All units code 4.
- Shoot him?

Hey, it seemed like a
good idea at the time.

You know, Carol, I think you...

You do these little things
here just so you'll have

some stories to tell later on.

You mean like the time I sent
backup to a domestic dispute

even though a hotheaded
rookie named Rick Hunter

told me he didn't need it?

That's right.

You know, there'd be one
less Rick Hunter around here

if it hadn't been for that.
- Yeah, right.

Look, I had it all under
control, believe me.

Sure.

Husband with a shotgun,
wife with a .45,

brother-in-law with
a butcher knife?

Hey, you could've handled
it Rick, no problem.

You left out the
baby with the Uzi.

All right, gang, let's
go back to work, come on.

What you got?

Well, we've got a
dead night watchman

and enough equipment that's
been stolen to pull off

another very large burglary.

We also have the license
plate number off a truck that

was seen leaving the building.

Listen, Carol, give me an
hourly broadcast on this

as a possible vehicle
involved in a burglary.

And if located, stake
and notify one of us, OK?

You got it, Dee Dee.

Good job, Carol.

Thanks.

You know, with that
burning bar, Charles,

we can expect some
sort of a bank job.

Yeah?

We tried to follow up
the truck rental agency.

The place is locked up tight.

We couldn't locate the manager.

We'll hit it again in
the morning, though.

All right, let's
start with the obvious.

Call the parole index.

Get a printout of all recent
parolees with a burn job MO.

Then see if we can
match any of them

to the rented truck
that was used tonight.

We already did it.

Oh.

I guess that's why you guys
get those big fat paychecks.

Fat?

Mine's practically anorexic.

Mine died of starvation
in the spring of '85.

Hi, Bobby.

Boy, what a day I had.

I wish you could
have been there.

Mom, we need to talk.

What is it, honey?

I'm in really big trouble.

Bobby, what is it this time?

These friends of mine,
I owed 'em some money.

Oh, honey.

I thought we took care of
your friends last month?

Honey, I asked you not to get
back into those card games.

How much is it this time?

$40,000.

$40,000...

Just listen, Mom.

These friends of mine...

All of a sudden I don't
owe it to them anymore,

I owe it to these other guys.

What are you talking about?

These other guys.

I guess they bought the IOU,
and I owe them the $40,000.

Well, where are we gonna come
up with that kind of money?

I don't know, Mom.

But if we don't, they
said they would kill me.

Well, they've gotta know I...

I don't make that much.

What do they really want?

Well, these guys know what
you're a police dispatcher

and that you work
the swing shift.

And at 11 o'clock
tomorrow night,

you're gonna receive a call
from the west side of town.

They want you to delay
reporting it for 30 minutes.

I can't do that, Bobby.

That's my job.

It's just 30 minutes, Mom.

I mean, it's no big deal.

The call comes in
at 11 o'clock, you

don't report it until 11:30.

Bobby, I can't do that to
the people that I work with,

the people that I work for.

They depend on me
for their lives.

Well, what about my life, Mom?

These guys said they
were gonna kill me.

Tell them that my
calls are monitored,

that I can't get away with it.

They know you're
only being taped

and that nobody
listens to the tape

unless there's a
problem later on.

They just need to buy some time.

They said nobody's
gonna get hurt,

and they'll forget about the
money, and they won't kill me.

I'm sorry, Mom.

DET.

1 William 1 1
57, advise 1 William 1 56.

I'm code 6 at
Western Truck Rental

on the suspect 459 vehicle.

Are you Sergeant McCall?

Sure am.

Great.

I rented the truck in
question to a John Grady.

He rented it for two
weeks, paid cash,

but he left a credit card
number for collateral.

Now, what are the chances, uh,
we'll see this truck again?

Oh, pretty good if they're going

to use it in another burglary.

They'll probably dump it in
some out of the way neighborhood

and we'll find it a
week later, you know.

With no tires, no
radio, no engine, hmm?

Yeah, well, you know.

Take a look at these.

Recognise any of them?

Uh... I think...

Yeah, that's him.

Paul Rosario, huh?

Yeah.

Paroled eight weeks
ago out of Chino.

Yeah, Rosario.

He was using a fake license
and a stolen credit card

under the name of John Grady.

I've got an old
address here on Rosario.

I'll run it down.
It's probably no good though.

OK.

I'm going to go check
with his parole officer

and see if he's been reporting.
- Yeah, good.

See you later.

Thanks.

1 Adam 47.

OK, code 7.

Julia, would go
down to the cafeteria

and get me a sandwich?

It is my turn, isn't it?

Hmm.

The usual?

Yes, thank you.

They are in first

and goal field territory.

That's down to the 7-yard line.

Let's see if they make it.

Third down and inches
to go for a first down.

A bit shy of the
Pittsburgh 7-yard line.

Now.

Strong right the fullback.

And the tailback
to Charles White.

Will he give to Goodman?

Bangs to the right.

And may have gotten it, may not.

Let's see where they mark it
down on his forward progress.

It looks like it's inside the
7, as they mark it down there.

Maybe, maybe not.

We'll have to see.

First and goal to go.

The ball just shy
of the 6-yard line.

First and goal to go.

Just shy of the Pittsburgh 6.

Inside.
One minute to play.

45 seconds to go.

Goodman in motion for the right
turn, and a patient Charles

White cuts it back.

Inside, hurtles
the man inside the 5.

Loses the ball in the
end zone, and it's

recovered by Pittsburgh.

They blew it down, and dead
at about the 3-yard line...

Police department.

Operator 47.

What are you reporting?

Do you have
a missing persons department?

I'll transfer you.

SPORTSCASTER: Pittsburgh.

And the Rams get a break
with 30 seconds to go.

The clock continues to run.

26 seconds to play in this
first half for the Rams.

16 plays for the
Rams, consuming 8

minutes and 50 seconds of time.

That's John Robins'
kind of football.

They come out, pop.

Police department.
Operator...

This is a security guard at LAX,

building 121 South.

Look, the alarm's not going off.

Someone is burning through
the front door right now.

We're rolling.

Do not confront the suspects.

Repeat, do not
confront the suspects.

Yeah.

All units in the
vicinity and 1 Adam 47.

4 5 9, suspects there now.

Building 121 LAX South.

1 Adam 47, your call is code 3.

Be advised, there's an armed
guard inside the building.

Possible vehicle involved
is an '87 GMC U-Rent,

license 1 ocean...

You bitch.

Sharr.

Sharr.

Uh, she double-crossed us, man.

Uh, she just put us
out over the radio.

Come on, let's go.

Let's move!

All right, all
right, take it easy.

They'll probably be here
within five minutes.

He's been shot.

The driver was our
parolee Paul Rosario.

Shot in the back of
the head with a .38.

His buddies propped
him up in the truck,

jammed down the accelerator.

Needed a decoy.

Fun guys.

You're not kidding.

Bought them some time, though.

They got away going in the other
direction in a second truck.

How do you know there
was a second truck?

Airport completed
their inventory.

$5 million in gold bullion
was unaccounted for.

Now, that's about 1,000 pounds.

You can't cart that
away in a wheelbarrow.

Half a ton of gold?

What were they doing with that?

It was in the process of
being transferred to Japan.

It was only supposed to
be held in high security

storage for six hours.

We ought to send up a chopper,
get some aerial photos.

A general overview of the area.

So much for high security, huh?

Yeah.

Communications say they
received about a half a dozen

or so false alarms
at this facility

over the last few weeks.

That might be an interesting
coincidence, but check it out.

When the cops
leave, it's all ours.

Why'd you have to kill Rosario?

We wouldn't have
gotten away if I hadn't.

The guy was a snitch.

We can't afford that
kind of loose end.

They're moving it.

Let's go.

Go where?

What do want to do, cut
a hole in the fence?

The place is crawling with cops.

We'll catch him on the way out.

No, there's too many
exits that truck could take.

Which one do we pick?

Dammit.

I got the license plate.

So what?

We can trace it.

You seem to forget we've
got somebody on the inside.

Yeah, a lot of good it did us.

Rosario's dead and we
still don't have the gold.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, this time it's different.

This time we got leverage.

Let's go use it.

That sector of the airport
was shut down last night.

DET.

Why?

An intermittent bug.

The worst kind.

What do you mean?

It's a foul-up in the system
that you really can't trace

because it's not regular.

It happens randomly.

We've notified the police
seven times in the last 25 days

of what turned out
to be false alarms

from that part of the airport.

I'm sure you people were
as tired of it as we were.

So you shut it down last
night to put a trace on it?

For a half hour.

Our resident wizard thought he
had a handle on the problem,

so we accommodated him.

And he was right.

He found a bad chip.

Well, unfortunately, the
airport got hit and two people

were killed.

Where's the repairman now?
- Home.

He works the swing shift.

I'd like to get his home address

and his work schedule
for last month.

Sure.

1 Adam 8, code 6.

5th and Columbus.

Adam 8, Roger.

Police Department.

Mom.

Oh, Bobby.

Honey, where are you?

I've been worried sick.

Are you all right?

Mom, they're gonna kill me

if you don't help.

Go across the street to
the phone booth and wait.

Bobby.

Lady, you screwed up
real bad last night.

Now, if you ever want
to see your kid again,

you better listen real close.

If you hurt him...

Hey, hey.

I got a flash for you.

I'm the one holding
the cards here.

Now, are we absolutely
clear on that?

I'm listening.

I want you to keep me up
to date on the investigation.

I'll call you back in
six hours at this number.

You tell me everything
they've got.

Ah, I also have a license
I want you to run.

You got a pencil?

I'll remember it.

1 Q 9 7 7 6.

I also want you to
find out where it is.

Listen, it could take me
at least two days to do that.

Your kid doesn't have two days.

Carol, how you doing?

Oh, not bad, Rick.

I had a break.

Thought I'd stop by,
see how you were doing.

Ah, well, usual Wednesday.

Two dead bodies and a half
a ton of missing gold.

Half a ton?

Yeah. $5 million worth
of gold and no suspects.

Any leads?

Nothing to write home about.

Speaking of home,
how's Bobby doing?

Bobby's fine.

Good.

Listen, Rick, I've
gotta get back to the pit.

I'll see you.
- OK, hon.

See you later.

Hey, how you doing?

Good.

What'd you find out?

Paul Rosario's cousin, Eddie
Maiyatico, worked at the, uh,

loading docks at the airport.

He may be involved in all this.

You think that Eddie got the
burglars clearance to drive

through the airport gate?

Well, we'll know soon enough.

- Did you find him?
- Not yet.

What you got?

I have the days and the
hours that our alarm repairman

was on duty last month.

And I also have a list
of all the false alarms

that came in from the airport.
And guess what?

Great.
What?

They match.

They do?

They do.

Oh, great.

I'll get right on this.

I'll run this down for you.

You want to run it down?

Yeah, why not?

Smoggy day.

I'd just as soon
have you stay in here

with the air conditioning.

You know, sometimes
your compassion

as a human being towards me as
a fellow human being is just...

It's just absolutely amazing.

I'm an amazing guy.

Hi.

Eric Level?

Hi, can I help you?

Yeah, I'm Sergeant
Hunter, LA homicide.

Uh, son, go back and play
with you sister in the back now.

What can I do for you?

You're a systems
engineer for CSS, are you?

Yes, I'm a troubleshooter.

Oh, you're in trouble
all right, Eric.

Look, I'm no crook, OK?

This cousin of
mine is in prison,

and he told this guy in
there about my job, a guy

by the name of Alan Sharr.

And when Sharr got
out, he came over here

and he said to me that I was
going to be $100,000 richer

or my family was
going to be dead.

So you fake the alarms
at the airport as an excuse

to shut the entire system down.

Yes.

You should have
called the police.

He said he was going
to kill my family!

I understand that.

All the more, you should
have called the police.

Now, have you talked to
Sharr since last night?

No, I haven't.

Look, we'll see what we can
do about getting your family

some police protection.

What have you got?

Where's Bobby?

Do the police have

any suspects identified yet?
- No.

Do they know what was taken?

A shipment of
gold, $5 million dollars worth.

- Do they know where it is?
- No.

I'm not going to answer
any more of your questions

until you let me
speak to my son.

Lady, we have got 24 hours
to solve this little problem,

or your son is dead.

You understand that?

Yes.

Now what about that plate?

The vehicle belongs to a
construction company that was

subcontracted to the airport.

They've got six maintenance
yards in the area.

I'm not going to be able
to find out until tomorrow

which one it's at.

Where's Bobby?

Hidden.

If the police find me
or the gold, he dies.

Now, somebody should be at
that construction company

by 7:00 AM.

I'll call you at 7:30.

Where we going?

Shut up and walk.

Come on, man.

Get in.

Don't do this to me.

In.

Come on, come on.

Now, uh, cover up.

I don't want you to get cold.

Do it.

Hurry up, hurry up.

You know, you're lucky
you're still alive.

If you weren't my
insurance policy...

But you are.

What's up, Sporty?

Shh.

A little subdued
today, aren't we?

I ought to be, considering I've

been risking life and
limb for this chump

change you offered me.
- Oh yeah?

What's up?

Look, you told me to find
out where Eddie Maiyatico was,

the guy who works
at the airport.

Yeah.

But you neglected to
inform me that Eddie

Maiyatico was himself involved
in that airport burglary.

The Alan Sharr airport burglary.

So what?

So what?

Alan "Don't Leave Any
Loose Ends Behind" Sharr?

That man bumps off any and
all potential witnesses, man.

He'd bump off his mama if
she was a witness 'cause

that's his modus operandi.

Now, if he finds out
that I'm helping you...

Sporty James will be sleeping
with the caterpillars.

You dig what I'm saying?

Will you shut up?

Nothing's gonna happen to you.

Oh, you guarantee that?

Yeah, I guarantee it.

Now, where the hell
is Eddie Maiyatico?

Try the, uh, Red Circle
bar in Culver City.

Yeah.

Red Circle bar.

CC.
All right.

All right, Sporty.

Look, uh, I just happen
to have the old, uh,

Sporty James snitch file here.

Uh... let's do it off the
books this time, OK, Hunter?

I don't even want to risk it.

You don't want your money?

Yeah, I want my money.

I gotta pay my rent, man.

My god.

What was I thinking?

Want me to burn that for you?

No, I'll take care
of this myself, OK?

What were you thinking about?

I don't like this, man.

The guy did his job.

Are you kidding?

This clown is the
original Mr. Mouth.

Give everybody another drink.

Whatever you want.

I'm a rich son of a gun.

Hey, thanks, Eddie.

All right, Maiyatico!

There you are.

Hey, my partner
going up to the bar.

So where's my cut?

Shut up, man.

Hey, they don't know
what I'm talking about.

So where is it?

Just come on out back.

Sounds good to me.

The bathroom in
here stinks anyway.

Excuse me.

- Eddie, you got a big mouth!
- Hey, come on!

I didn't say
anything to anybody!

And what
about the bar, huh, man?

Come on, man,
I didn't say anything!

Hold it right there!

Police!

Oh!

Good morning.

This is Sergeant
Meyers, homicide.

Are you the manager?

Yes, I am.

1 Adam 9.

Only Robert Robert queen 2 3 9.

Just one minute, please.

1 Adam 9, no wants.

Thanks, Carol.

Thank you for waiting.

We're looking for
one of your vehicles.

The license number
is 1 Q 9 7 7 6.

Sure, let me check.

Great.

The corner of Western and 29th.

It's in a garage
there for maintenance,

but they're not going to
work on it until tomorrow.

Please let me talk to Bobby.

I'll call you back at 6 o'clock.

If everything goes
smoothly today,

you'll have your
son back by tonight.

We have a date with
1,000 pounds of gold.

Can't believe you and
me are the only ones left.

Yeah, it's too bad.

Good men are hard to find too.

A lot of dead bodies,
a lot of dead ends.

I'll tell you what, this case
is keeping me up at nights.

I keep thinking about that gold.

Maybe he never got it out.

What do you mean?

Well, up till
now we've been, uh,

working under the assumption
there were two trucks.

Nobody saw a truck near the
airport or leave the airport.

We haven't been able
to find a truck.

Maybe the gold's still there.

Maybe he didn't get it out.

So you think he hid the gold
and he used Rosario as a decoy

so that they could
escape on foot?

It's as good a scenario
as I can think of.

Well, then where would he
hide 1,000 pounds of gold?

I don't know.

I think we should take a look at
these aerial photographs again.

OK, let's see.

Wait a minute.

That damn water truck.

He knew he couldn't
get the gold out in time.

Right.

And the airport
cleared the truck

after we released the site.

It wouldn't have taken
him more than three minutes.

Give me airport security.

I don't see a water truck, and I
don't see 1,000 pounds of gold.

Well, they left us a dead body.

This guy has managed to stay one

jump ahead of us all the way.

How the hell did he know
where that truck went?

Did he have it tailed?

No, he had to have found it.

Otherwise, he would have
gotten to the gold yesterday.

The time of death for Shara's
partner was less than an hour

before we got there.

Well, Sharr is probably
halfway to Mexico now.

He had a plan going in, you can
bet he had a plan going out.

He's a smart cookie.

Sharr couldn't keep
the guard at the airport

from calling the police.

Right.

So when we got the
phone call here...

Just a sec... uh, come with me.

Adam 6, go to...

Where are we going?

The tape room.

Adam 6, go to tag 2 for Adam 24.

Police department.

Operator...

This is a security guard at LAX,

building 121 South.

Look, the alarm's not
going off and someone

is burning through the
front door right now.

We're rolling.

Do not confront the suspects.

Repeat, do not
confront the suspects.

All units in the
vicinity and 1 Adam 47.

4 5 9, suspects there now.

Uh, shut this off a second.

Carol James does not
wait that long to respond

to any type of emergency.

Not unless she's got
a real good reason.

Pull up all of her tapes.

You don't have to go
to all that trouble.

Sharr kidnapped Bobby.

And he gave me the
license number of a truck.

I tracked it for him in-house.

Carol, why didn't
you come to us then?

Dee Dee, he said he'd kill
my kid if I double-crossed him.

I couldn't take that chance.

But I did put a trap
trace on the payphone.

Good girl.

How you doing?

Fine.

You see this guy
around here recently?

Yeah.

He used the phone booth.

I seen him drive
off to the north.

There's a couple
of places up there.

- Right down this road?
- Yeah, five miles.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Get me outta here!

Where's Bobby?

What are you, nuts?

Come on!

I got all the time in
the world out here, Sharr.

Where's Bobby?

Next to the water
truck, in the ground!

Now, come on!
Come on!

Take him.

You come with me.

Hey!

He buried Bobby over here.

Here we are.

Don't know how long
he's been down here.

Come over and grab
the other end.

Get him out of here.

Come on.

Come on.

You all right?

You all right?

Get a paramedic.

Come on, let's get
him out of here.

Hi.
DET.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Look at this.

What have you got there?

Here, it's for you guys.

Great.

Thanks... well, I don't
eat this type of stuff,

but, uh, she might.

Although she doesn't eat this
type of stuff unless it has,

uh, red dye 47 and some white
chocolate all over it probably.

Hey, thanks a
lot for everything.

You're welcome, Bobby.

You know, the district attorney
will take into consideration

your testimony.

But, uh, there is a
chance you may have

to do about a year in county.

I'll be thinking about
that guard that got

killed for the rest of my life.

Well, don't
forget, Bobby, you've

got some good support here.

Carol, how's the teaching going?

Oh, pretty good,
Dee Dee, thanks.

I'm doing my best with the
next generation of dispatchers,

but I miss the
excitement of the pit.

You know, I want to
apologize to you guys again.

I... I should never have taken
matters into my own hands

like that.

The two of you are
more like family

than anything we've ever had,
and I should have trusted that.

Well, listen, enjoy your fruit.

We'll see you later.
- OK.

- Bye bye.
- Thanks a lot.

- Take care.
- Bye.

What is that?

This is a horned melon.

They use them down in the
islands to catch, uh, blowfish.

I see.

I wouldn't eat
that if I were you.

Why?

Because we don't
know where it's been.
