All language subtitles for Hunter S05E14 - Me Myself Die

Tonight on Hunter.

The victim's name
was Michael Girard.

He was 31.

Ordinary people are not
shot to death at close range.

Mrs. Eva Sands reported
that her daughter

who has a history of
psychotic behavior

stole her 380 automatic.

Well, apparently she stopped
taking your medication.

She had a violent reaction.

Maybe somebody wanted
to make her crazy.

He went after me with a knife,
and they still let her out.

Damn it.

Damn it.

Damn it to hell.

That's enough.

Rachel?

Rachel?

I told you to go home, didn't I?

Oh yeah, sure, you'd
like that, wouldn't you?

Then you could say I was
irresponsible and fire me.

Go home.
See you tomorrow.

We better go call the police.

File a police report.

Yes?

Mrs Girard?

Yes, what is it?

I'm Sergeant Deedee
McCall, LA Police.

I need to speak with you.

May I come in?

It's awfully late.

What is it?

I'm afraid I have some bad news.

Your husband's been killed.

He should be home soon.

No.

He's dead, Mrs. Girard.

I heard you.

I'm very sorry.

I heard you.

Hey, Hunter?

Gentleman on the bench wants to
see the officer investigating

the Girard shooting.

He was sitting
there this morning

when I came on duty at 7:00.

Thanks, Ray.

How you doing?

I'm Sergeant Hunter,
investigating

the Girard shooting.

How can I help you?

I'm afraid it's the
Jupiter project, sir.

They finally made their
submarine invisible.

The entire country, the
entire free world are at risk.

Can you hold that for me?

Mm-hm.

Ah, that's a good photograph.

Mm.

Haven't we met?

Yes, sir.

I'm Dexter Blodget.

I tried to tell you
last year about the men

who were being abducted
from the homeless shelter...

And taken to Jupiter.

Exactly.

Right.

OK Dexter, you want
to step over here?

I appreciate you coming in.

Ray?

Yeah.

I want you to call Jupiter,
tell them we have Mr.

Blodget here in Los Angeles.

Tell them that we're going to
make sure he gets home safely.

Right.

Mr Blodget, once again,
thanks for coming in.

Thank you, sir.

I appreciate it.

Thanks

Bye.

The victim's name
was Michael Girard.

He was 31, owned a litho company
two blocks south on Cahuenga.

$63 in his pocket, credit cards,
his watch... it was all there.

Well, that shoots
the robbery motive.

The owners of a restaurant on
the corner said that the victim

at there now and then.

He had dinner there
that night alone.

He left at 9:10.

It was right before
the shots were fired.

Any witnesses?

No, nobody on the
street saw anything.

But it's Hollywood Boulevard,
you know most people don't even

remember their names.

What did his wife say?

Well, that they were
married happily for two years.

They had been building up
a print graphics boutique.

They were planning on
having kids around 1990.

Any enemies, drugs, debts?

Nope.

I did a credit check
at Certified National.

They had a good payment
record on their car,

their home, all their loans.

Yeah, credit cards current.

Just movie rentals, Hollywood
Bowl, Dodgers season tickets.

You know, I am still a little
worried about those red marks

on the victim's neck though.

- Hi, guys.
- Hi.

I just got the preliminary
word from the coroner.

Girard was shot four times at
point blank range, possibly

with 380 automatic.

First slug hitting his
heart, killing him instantly.

Sounds very deliberate.

Any lab reports on the
marks on the victim's neck?

No, it looks just
to be a dye marker.

That bothers me.

There's something
crazy about that.

Maybe it's a psycho
or something.

Look, check with
the hospital detail.

See if there are any
dangerous patient releases.

So anything else besides
no motive, no witnesses?

Nothing, Charlie.

Although, I am running
down a list of disturbances

that occurred in
the area that night.

Other than that, no.

Good... good.

Thanks.

What about the victim's wife?

About her whereabouts?

I already checked into it,
she was at her sister's house.

Apparently every Friday
her husband worked late.

He was out.

So she went over
there and had dinner.

It was a regular routine.

She says that they were
a real happy couple, just

ordinary people.

Ordinary people are not
shot to death at close range.

Morning, honey.

Good morning.

Ouch.

Are you all right?

What do you think?

It's getting late, Rachel.

Aren't you worried about
being late for work?

I was fired yesterday.

You satisfied, bitch?

Where is it?

Mu... uh.

Where is it?

Hello, Oak Park, East Wing.

Dr. Pence?

One moment, please.

Security to discharge?

Security to discharge?

This is Dr Pence.

This is Eva Sands,
Rachel Sands mother.

She's acting up this morning.

She got herself fired
from that bookstore job.

And she's been
yelling and screaming.

I haven't seen her like
this since she started.

Has she been maintaining
her dosage of hydralazine?

Oh, yeah.

She takes one at breakfast and
another before going to bed.

I see that.

Well, she didn't take one this
morning come to think of it.

I'll be by the house.

I'm making my rounds now,
but I should be there by 1.

And calm yourself
down Mrs Sands.

Rachel will cue off
you emotionally.

If she gets violent,
call the police.

Damn right.

What the hell did you
do with my damn hairbrush?

Oh, Judith priest.

Where is it?

Yeah, I have it.

Tell me, was there anything
else in the neighborhood

around that time?

OK.

Yeah.

Thank you.

There's a bookstore
on Hollywood Boulevard

that called in a complaint.

The manager says that there
was an employee there,

a Rachel Sands,
who apparently just

lost it and started to tear
the place up a little bit.

You might want to
check that out.

I do want to check that out.

Thank you very much.

Let me know what you find.

I definitely will.

Thank you.

Who set him on fire?

His complaint search
might have paid off.

Homicide.

McCall.

Sands?

Is she there now?

What's the address?

OK, I'm on the way.

What you got?

This morning we got a call
from a Mrs. Eva Sands, who

reported that her
daughter who has

a history of psychotic behavior
stole her 380 automatic.

Now, we got a disturbance
call from a bookstore

last night right around the
corner from the shooting site

concerning a Rachel Sands.

I'm... I'm the woman who called.

Mrs Sands?

Yeah.

Is your daughter inside?

Yeah, she's in there.

She's... she's got my pistol.

I missed it this morning.

She never touched it before.

But she used a knife on me once.

OK, wait right out here, OK?
I'll take care of things.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Rachel?

I'm a police officer.

I need for you to come
out where I can see you.

What do you want?

I need to talk with you, Rachel.

Come out where I
can see you Rachel.

Rachel, get your hands
out where I can see them.

Come on outside, Rachel.

Come on out, Rachel.

That's right.

Come on downstairs now, Rachel.

Come on out.

Just keep your hands
where I can see them.

I'm not going to
hurt you, Rachel.

Everything's going
to be all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Feel free to take a look around.

Excuse me.

Detective McCall,
Niels Rasmussen.

Sorry about blasting
your ear drum.

The airlock keeps the lab
pressure at half sea level.

We grow some pretty exotic
bugs in here, you know.

Wouldn't want any
of them getting out.

No, I understand that.

I appreciate you taking
the time to see me.

Oh, well, whatever
you need, you've got it.

But I admit to being
a bit confused.

Now, you mentioned a
link between a murder

and Rachel Sands.

Well, a possible link.

Yeah.

She is a patient at
Oak Park Hospital.

She's involved in
a test program.

They're utilizing
your drug hydralazine.

So we're trying to
determine if that drug could

have figured into a killing.

Now, I turned her over
to her psychiatrist

for 96 hour observation period.

And he checked her
blood to figure

out if there was something that
could have caused her behavior.

Found no alcohol, no
drugs and no hydralazine.

Now, could that have caused a
violent withdrawal reaction?

Happily, and I can
speak with confidence

due to years of testing
here at Eurogenics,

hydralazine displays no
dependency side effects.

None.

Testing on people?

Only just recently begun.

The FDA is slow to allow.

Now, Victor here monitors
all the test groups.

Victor?

Victor Tofle, Sergeant McCall.

She's here about
the Sands woman.

I pulled her charts.

We don't actually select
the subjects for the test.

That's on contract.

50 hospitals nationwide.

Eh, 43.

We have all the
original medical history

and the monthly interview
transcripts here.

I made you copies here.

Thank you.

So how's the tests going?

Nominal.

As predicted,
hydralazine inhibits

blind rage behavior in better
than 80% of the subjects.

Any side effects?

Eh, some people get runny noses.

If you'll excuse me, I
should get back to work.

Thank you very much.

Let's go out this way.

So tragic, the Sands things.

The people I try to
help with my research

can do such awful things.

That's why this
drug is a godsend.

Well, we haven't
charged her yet.

But if you do, hydralazine
is tainted with the crime.

That's a tragedy we must avoid.

It did not make her a killer.

The opposite.

She stopped using it.

I'd like to see the test
data when it comes through.

When you have it all together,
will you give me a call?

I certainly will.

All purpose, indelible marker.

Dries to the skin
in just a second.

Can you match the brand?

Twice.

McCall was right about
those bookstore signs.

The manager threw what Rachel
was working on in the dumpster,

but she was using one
of these to letter

them when she had her fit.

And the dead man's face.

Now all brands are similar,
a handful of common ether's

and a heavy dye.

But each one is
sufficiently unique.

So the marks on the
victim's neck and these signs

are the same...

No question?

Some brands that they sell in
supermarkets or thrift stores

are both produced
and custom labeled.

We got lucky.

The bookstore
bought a name brand.

That's what we call in the
forensic trade good chemistry.

Good.

Auntie, are you going to be OK?

If you need anything, call me.

Charlie?

In here.

Any insights on Rachel Sands?

What do you got going there?

I'm on soft foods
for a couple of days.

My dentist put these in.

Says I'm grinding
my teeth at night.

I wonder why.
- Oh, yeah.

Look at them in there.

Here's the Mitchell
file you requested.

Now, Rachel Sands...
Rachel Sands.

Just like we thought,
she's been in 11

different psychiatric
institutions over the years.

At age eight, she started
ripping the covers off

of books and magazines.

First arrest came when
she was 16 years of age.

It seems that she ran amok
at the convenience store

in the valley... got
tired of waiting in line.

Well, I've done that.

And last year, right
before the hydralazine tests

began, she had jumped her
mother with a butcher knife.

The next day, her mother
went out and bought

a 380 semi-automatic.

Which we still haven't found?

Right.

The killer scrawled all
over Michael Girard's face

with an indelible pen.

Same brand that
Rachel Sands used

to make that sign next door.

Right.

- Drop this on my desk for me.
- I got to get going.

I'll talk to you later.

All right.

Devane?

No, she's not here right now.

She's out at the hospital.

Yeah, I'll take the message.

What is it?

Rachel?

OK, let's go back to why you
got angry with Mr Ellers.

I don't know.

Is it because he
criticized the way

you were doing your job?

Maybe.

But he's usually OK.

Do you remember
tearing these up?

Not really.

Must've been pretty angry?

Well, that's typical.

I always forget afterwards.

That's not an admission.

I know that, Syd.

Relax, all right?

Rachel, you don't
have to be afraid.

You're not going to be blamed
for anything you didn't do.

McCall don't con my client.

Why don't you give me a
little line to fish with, OK?

It's in the best
interest of your client.

Rachel, you were doing really
well on the hydralazine.

So why'd you stop taking it?

I don't know.

Look lady, I'm doing
my damnedest, OK?

But a blank is a blank.

All right, I'm sorry.

Don't touch me.

I don't like to be touched.

Fine.

Why don't we try
some impressions?

Why don't you try
closing your eyes

and then just see whatever
comes in, OK... what sights,

sounds, or images you get.

Will you try that?

OK.

It's hard though.

It's very dark.

Damn zeros, they won't fit.

Zeros like on the sign?

I... I don't know.

Maybe?

Rachel, please try.

You have to give me something
I can help you with.

Oh yeah, you want
to help me, huh?

Ah... ah... glasses, lights.

Glasses like the
kind you drink from

or the kind you wear?

Were the lights
street lights, Rachel?

Uh, maybe.

There's people.

There's cars.

Like in a parking lot?

Thank you, McCall.

I think you've led my client far
enough down the primrose path

for today.

Was it a parking lot, Rachel?

I don't know, yeah,
whatever you say.

Yeah, it's a parking lot.

I killed the guy
in a parking lot.

Rachel quiet, not another word.

You saying that because you
saw it on TV, or a newspaper,

or because you remember, Rachel?

Rachel has done a good job.

I think she deserves
a little rest.

I love it when
people try and help me.

I'm just the kind of person
people stand in line to help.

I got some news.

I was waiting for
you to take a break.

Did you see the
look in her eyes?

She's carrying so much
hate in her for herself.

You know, I'm telling
you something,

her shrink says he
doesn't think she's

capable of killing anybody.

And I agree, I think
that woman's innocent.

McCall, we just got the word.

They found the gun in the
dumpster over on highland.

It's got Rachel Sands
fingerprints all over it.

Sergeant McCall?

Yes?

I'm Eva Sands,
Rachel Sands mother.

Yes.

Please sit down.

How can I help you?

Is, uh, is Rachel
going to go to jail?

She's in psychiatric
detention at Oak Park.

She's being tested.

If she's found
competent, the DA plans

to file charges against
her for the Girard murder.

Didn't her attorney
Mr. Dunbar contact you?

I figured he was just
in it for the money.

I mean, I told him to do
whatever the court will pay for

and nothing else.

Well, I can arrange
to have you see her.

Oh, don't.

She's not expecting it.

You think I'm hard?

I didn't say that.

You put up with her for 39 years

and you'll be wishing to God
like I do that something would

happen to get free of her.

You know, last year she
went after me with a knife

and they still let her out?

I had to buy that gun.

Were you badly hurt?

Yeah.

Well, not actually
from the knife.

Well, what happened?

Rachel had one
of her conniptions.

Well, she grabbed
the butcher knife.

And she was cussing
the blue streak.

She was waving it around
and jabbing it in the table.

You know, the next
thing she would

have come after me with it.

Did she?

I didn't give her a chance.

I ran.

I slipped on the floor and
bumped my head on the cabinet.

I threw my back out.

I had to have traction.

So Rachel never actually
came at you with the knife?

No.

But she coulda.

Dr Rich,
extension 108, doctor's lounge.

Dr Rich, extension
108, doctor's lounge.

I understand she was injured?

That's true, but the reason Mrs.

Sands was admitted
to the hospital

was because she
injured her back.

Now why in the files
does it say that Rachel

injured her in a knife attack?

In direct cause, I guess.

Rachel hadn't come
to me at that time.

Well, I think you ought
to correct that file,

because the fact is Rachel has
never assaulted another person.

That's true.

Her entire history is a violence
against property, things.

But then she did threaten you.

Oh, this is so bizarre.

Why all this new behavior?

Why would she stop
taking the one drug

that she knew could help her?

Let me ask you something, would

any of these patients here
ever stop their medication

without your approval?

No.

No, we monitor them as
closely as possible.

We fill nearly 1,000
prescriptions a day

for the resident patients alone.

Why?

Well, maybe the
dispensary had a mix up.

Maybe Rachel did take
her pills, but they just

weren't hydralazine.

That couldn't be us.

Hydralazine is prepackaged
for the test patients

at Eurogenics.

When you tested Rachel's blood,

you were only looking for one
drug in particular, right?

Well, I had to.

Some of these psychoactive drugs
work in such minute amounts.

You need a computer.

You can't just go
on a witch hunt.

Well, still, if you
were on a witch hunt,

what drugs would you look for?

Gas chromatography
is kind of like trying

to sink the eight ball in the
break wearing a blindfold.

You can hit it, but then you
have to go looking for it.

What?

Never mind.

Pence gave us a list of 61
drugs he thought might account

for Rachel Sands behavior.

Literally, millions of
molecular eight balls.

Well, did we find it or not?

Sure, Doxonizone.

She had a healthy
dose in her system.

All right, very good Kevin.

That one was at the
top of Pence's list.

And this is not
something you're going

to find on a corner either.

Now, do you think
her prescription

could have been filled
accidentally with this drug?

Well, I'm not a
pharmacist, but I don't

think it would be very likely.

And don't forget, Eurogenic's
packaged this especially

for the test group.

Makes it sound
deliberate, didn't it?

This drug was prescribed
by the psychiatric community

quite often until the
side effects became known.

Doxonizone promotes
psychotic behavior.

Well, why would someone
want to give a drug

like that to Rachel Sands?

Technically speaking,
to make her flip her lid.

That's patently impossible.

Well, it happened.

I have no idea how Rachel Sands

got Doxonizone into her system.

It's a crude drug,
with many problems.

It's hardly used.

We don't even have any here.

Look, all I'm asking
is for you to check.

She obviously had the
wrong drug in her blood.

Maybe she got it
through an error.

Well, you're damn
right I'll check.

And captain, until
you hear from me,

you'll be well advised not to
make your suppositions public.

All right, Doc.

Thanks.

Well, they swear
they don't have any.

Doxinizone promotes
psychotic behavior.

How could Rachel have had
this drug in her body?

Maybe somebody wanted
to make her crazy.

Darling, I wish
you'd return my calls.

Don't ignore me.

I hate that.

I told you what I'd
do if you didn't...

Good evening.

Take it easy there.

Good night.

Good night, Rosie.

Help... help...

Help... help.

Oh my god.

Help.

They're amazingly acute.

Any little change in lab
routine will set them off.

I think they know
the doctor is gone.

Who was working
here after hours?

Business hours?

Any of the researchers.

They've got 20 or
so active grants,

a couple of formed
co-op teams, literally

hundreds of experiments going.

Biochemical work doesn't
run on an eight hour clock.

I was in the cryo lab
when the power failed.

Arson said that there was
a massive power surge first.

Do you think security could
get me a list of who was here?

Possibly.

But the scientific staff
uses the security entrance

off the parking garage.

We all have electronic keys,
and it's impossible to calculate

what we've lost tonight.

He was a genius.

We'll never know what
else he might have done.

Well, he'll get a posthumous
Nobel Prize, but...

So what do you got?

Well, I think
Rasmussen figured out

who switched Rachel's pills.

Whoever killed him
for it, you can bet he's

covering his tracks by now.

I think you should be
looking for a connection

between some Eurogenic's
employee and Michael Girard.

Yeah.

Oh, let's go back
around the corner here.

It's a little more private.

You know, I've been
trying to reach you?

I'm sorry.

He kept calling me, so I
finally just went to my sisters.

I hope this is nothing.

I mean, I know you
already caught that woman.

Wait a minute, who's
been calling you?

There's this man.

He's been watching me
and sending me things.

Like yesterday, he left
a rabbit in my car.

What, a rabbit?

Yeah, he's crazy.

He must think that I
might be interested

in him now since Mike...

I, uh... I met him at a club.

I mean, he met me at a club.

And I was already
engaged to Michael.

So I didn't give him
much encouragement.

But then he got into
this dream, a fantasy.

And now he's saying
these terrible things

like he's going to kill
himself if I won't have him.

Why don't we start
from the beginning, OK?

Why don't you give me
a physical description,

his name, where he works?

He's pretty average looking.

He's about 35.

He wears glasses.

His name is Victor.

I think he works in some
kind of a laboratory.

I still don't like.

I'm going in there.

Syd, it won't work in a crowd.

Look, any incriminating
statement she makes

will not be used against her.

OK, I accept that.

I'm just not sure
I want it to work.

Syd, I'm going
to buy you a donut.

OK, you came outside.

It was about 8:30.

And you wrote it
on the back here,

you wrote any four for $5.

Could you write
that again, ma'am.

I'm not a trained seal.

Rachel, I didn't
say that you were.

I'm just... you got
a memory block.

I'm trying to help
you to remember.

OK?
Will you just write that down?

You satisfied?

This is the way it turns out.

I can't do the damn thing.

And then this, right?

And then you did this?

What are you doing?

Where the hell are we going?

I don't know, you tell me.

You remember walking
away didn't you, Rachel?

Remember that?

Not really.

It all looks the same.

There's cars, people,
lights, and glasses.

Don't touch me.

I told you never to touch me.

Do you remember a
man in glasses, Rachel?

He took your purse.

Remember that?

He took your pills right
out of your purse, Rachel.

The man with the
glasses took your pills.

You remember that?

Do you remember?

And then he did this...

Do you remember that, Rachel?

He put the gun in your hand.

Remember, Rachel?

The man with the glasses
put the gun in your hand

just like that.

I was so sick.

I was going to get fired.

I didn't know.

I know... I know you were
sick, because he switched

the medication on you Rachel.

Was this the man?

Was this the man you saw?

Was this the man
who did it, Rachel?

I'm sorry.

No Rachel, you
didn't do anything.

Yeah, I did.

What?

I don't know, but I
must have done something.

It's OK, Rachel.

It's going to be all right.

One, William, 157.

I'll need backup code
two at 337 Fulton Street.

That's Eurogenics laboratory.

Roger.

Hi, you've reached 7790.

Please leave a message
and the time you called.

Thanks.

I know you're there.

You can't just pretend.

- Leave me alone.
- Darling?

I don't want anything
to do with you.

You can't just...

Now listen, I told the police
how you've been hounding me.

And if you don't stop
it, they'll make you.

Darling, don't hate me.

Does he always work at night?

He works whenever he wants to.

He's a level 3.

All right, I got backup coming.

As soon as they get here,
you let them in, all right?

Will do.

If there's a power failure,
can you get this thing open?

Yeah, 10 seconds.

Victor?

Come out where I could see you.

Put the gun down, Victor.

I knew it was a reach,
but I had a chance.

Maybe I pressed a
little too hard.

Victor, put the gun down.

You're not thinking straight.

You're telling me.

Come on, help me.

How you doing Rachel?

Dr. Pence is
sending me home today.

Actually, I
believe he's arranged

to have you go into
a group home where

everybody works and pitches in.

I think that sounds great.

Yeah, well, I'll
believe it when I see it.

I think you'll see it.

Dr. Pence strikes me as a
man who stands by his word.

Mr. Ehlers is expecting
you at work on Monday, too.

Sure, till I screw up again.

You know, Rachel, there's
a lot of people out there

that like you.

I like you.

Why don't you give us a break?

You like me now, but just wait.
