All language subtitles for Hunter S05E21 - Last Run

Tonight on "Hunter."

All the burns on the body
were not caused by the fire.

Torture?

Somebody nosing
into our case again?

Yeah, and I don't like it.

Where is Tingo Chaves?

He's a man who's going
to make you very rich.

So we got a $2 million puzzle,

and we're missing some pieces.

One of my careers
is in performing.

Take me to Becky right now.

If I had 20 cops
down here beating

the bushes looking
for her, in two hours,

I'd hear it on the nightly news.

What the hell happened to him?

I shot him.

We didn't find
him until this morning.

He was under all the debris.

Does this fire
tie in with the one Monday

on 34th Street?

Yeah, I think so.

So does your boss.

This place has got the same burn
pattern as the first place...

Low charring.

The suspect used a
flammable petroleum product

to put on the body again.

I'm sure it was gasoline.

You said my boss.

Was Charlie Devane here?

Devane?

No, no.

This guy was a...
Was a lieutenant,

said he was from homicide.

What was his name?

Lieutenant, uh...

Lieutenant Jack...
Jack something.

He was asking questions.
- Yeah?

Like what?

Well, the age of the
victim, sex, you know.

I'm sorry if I was out of line.
- No, no.

You're all right.

I want to ask you something.

Did we ever get
the ID on the first victim?

No.

We're working on it, though.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

Sergeant Hunter, LA Homicide.

Hi.

You... you see what went on here?

Sure did.

I saw the dude who started it.
- Yeah?

Yeah.

He jumped in his truck, and
he drove off down the street.

What kind of truck was that?

Just one of them
go-anywhere four-by-fours.

You know, I thought every house
on the block was going to go.

You wouldn't have, uh, got
the license number, would you?

Hell, yes.

Uh, it's 2KX0715.

Welcome to the
Regency, Miss Baca.

Sacramento operator.

Hold for your
contact switchboard.

Switchboard.

I'd like to get in touch
with Jack Chance immediately,

please.

I'll have to patch you through.

Patch me?

Please hold.

He's on assignment in LA.

Tell him it's Becky.

Ringing now.

- Yeah, Jack Chance here.
- Hold for Becky.

Put her on.

I gotta talk to her right now.

Come on, now!

Who you calling?

Oh.

You.

We were a little early,
and I wanted to find

out if the car was on the way.

Becky hung up.

Get her back.

It's a long-lines call.

I'll try.

What are you doing here, Tingo?

I thought you'd just
send the limo for me.

Mr. Sherman's very
impressed with your work.

He wants to meet you, Becky.

And just who is Mr. Sherman?

He's a man who's going
to make you very rich.

All right.

Oh, let me help.
Here.

Thanks.

Take this.

You know, you could
have made two trips.

No, I couldn't.

By the time I got out
to the roach coach,

all the really good stuff
would have been gone.

What is this thing, anyway?

It's a file of every arson fire

in LA over the last four years.

Devane said there
was another John

Doe arson murder last night.

I figured I'd check
it out, see if we can

tie it into a known arsonist.

Well, that's a good idea.

Do me a favor.

Run this license plate of a
four-by-four through the DMV.

See if anybody's run it
in the last week or so.

Be very discreet about it.

Somebody nosing
into our case again?

Yeah, and I don't like it.

Remember the battalion chief
at the 34th Street fire?

He said there was a
detective snooping around,

and we couldn't identify him?

Well, he's back again.

So what do you think?
FBI?

It could be anybody.
I don't know who he is.

And he's on my case.

I don't like it.

Anyway, when you get a
rundown on this number here,

give me a call.
- OK.

Oh, wait a second.

Did you get an ID on
this morning's victim?

No.

Like your Danish, he was
burned beyond recognition.

See you later.

Yeah, Tony, are
you sure about that?

All right, good.

Well, listen, I do
appreciate the effort.

Thanks.

Robbery-homicide's a negative.

What about the major crime unit?

No.

I saw Captain Casey at a
retirement dinner last night.

I think he would
have mentioned it.

What makes you so
sure this is a cop?

Maybe it's just a firebug
getting his kicks.

No.

According to the arson
investigators at the scene,

our boy has been asking some
very specific and technical

questions.
He's legit, all right.

All right.

We'll, I'll call the feds.

Maybe they've got somebody
working down there.

Here's the postmortem
on John Doe number 2.

He was bound to a chair.

Like John Doe number
one, he was also shot

once in the back of the head.

Very interesting
on page two, there.

All the burns on the body
were not caused by the fire.

Preliminary investigation says
maybe high-voltage electricity.

Torture?

Wasn't that fast?

I'll say.

The four-by-four is
registered to a Henry Granado,

11921 Wilshire Avenue.

I checked.

It's a condo.

The car has been run twice...

Two weeks ago by the
county clerk's office.

That usually means they're
prepping a repossession.

Who ran it the second time?

I don't know.

Somebody in Sacramento
this morning, 0900.

But who in Sacramento?

The computer refused to
ID the requesting agency.

What?

Now, that doesn't
happen very often.

I don't like that.

I'm going to make some calls.

Did you match Granado's
car to a driver's license?

Yeah.

They're correlating
the registration

address to licensed drivers.

There's 13 Henry
Granados in the state.

Got the pictures on
the way by laser fax.

Good.

I think what we should do
is get a search warrant

for Granado's condominium.

I'll go out and sit on
it until you show up.

Sounds good.

I think
he's definitely Hispanic.

Can you tell how old he is?

Well, I'm...

I'm not even going
to be positive

even when I'm finished.

But I'd say he's
probably in his mid-30s.

Oh.

How soon can you have
this guy together?

We got another one
this morning, same MO.

Well, I'm not real
sure about the hair.

But the face is pretty close.

Henry Granado.

That was fast.

How'd you manage to
do that so quickly?

Well, the killer drove
Granado's four-by-four

to the scene of
the second murder.

Well, I think you ought to
tell that to the lieutenant.

He certainly didn't seem
to know that this morning.

Let me ask you a question.

Can you tell me what this
lieutenant looked like?

Well, yeah.

Um, let me draw it.

Becky.

I'm Phillip Sherman.

Hi.

How did your trip go?

It went fine.

I prefer flying.

But I understand the concern.

That's a little too risky

right now, with the feds
watching all the airports, now,

isn't it?

Tingo, any chance
you were tailed?

Absolutely none.

Good.

Should be $2.5 million.

It's all there.

Oh, I'm sure it is.

But we'll count it, anyway.

You see, Becky, we've been in...

Well, experiencing
sort of a cash

flow problem on the East Coast.

And I'd like to get your
input, if you don't mind,

on what we could do
to protect ourselves

against any future
interruptions.

You'll have to be a little
more specific, Mr. Sherman.

I don't...
- Of course.

Let's see.

Two weeks ago, we lost a
million and a half dollars

when it arrived in Miami.

Now, you and Mr. uh...

Granado.

Yes... Granado...

Transported it there.

Now, six hours after
you turned it over,

the feds arrested my people
and confiscated the cash.

Why didn't you tell me?

I mean... hey,
everything went fine.

We follow Tingo's
instructions to the letter.

Ask Henry.

Oh, I have.

Believe me, I have.

A week later, we lost a
million in Fort Lauderdale.

Now, you and your husband
moved the money that time.

Is that correct?
- Hey, wait a minute.

Now, you're accusing us
of something that happened

thousands of miles away.

Hell, we could have
been back in LA by then.

You know what?

That's exactly what your husband
said, right up to the end.

What's going on here?

That's what I'm
trying to find out.

Oh, I know one thing for sure.

One of my couriers
is an informant...

Maybe more than one.

Now, Henry and your husband
both denied working for the law.

You're the only one
left to question.

Phoenix and Tucson
and San Diego?

I was wondering why you had
me on the road for six days.

You were keeping me tied down.

Where are they?

You know what, sweetheart?

I would suggest
that you concentrate

on saving your own skin.

Now, are you working
for the cops, Mrs. Baca?

You are crazy.

I'm leaving now.

And I would suggest you
do nothing to stop me.

Never gets easy, does it, Tingo?

Hey, McCall?

I'm in here.

Hi.

Hi.

There's suitcases,
a money counter,

and some clothes in the
closet and not much else.

This apartment has two spaces
assigned to it in the garage.

There's nothing there.

And there's no four-by-four
out on the street.

Manager said Granado had
a couple living with him,

a Becky and Dave Baca.

And my guess is
they left in a hurry

and probably a few days ago.

This coffee's pretty moldy.

What'd the manager
say about Granado?

Said he was pretty
secretive, kept to himself,

didn't say too much.

He leased this place out for
$1,800 a month, paid cash.

Let's go check the
rest of the place out.

Come on.

OK.

Let's see what we got here.

Got anything?

Well, I don't know.

You tell me.

What is this?

Oh, boy.

Wow.

What do you think,
it was the S&L scare?

I don't know.

But this stuff's real.

Huh.

Well, check this out.

That's Granado.

That must be John
Doe number two, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Question is, where's his wife?

Yeah, Sherman.

The cops just got a search
warrant for Granado's condo.

Relax.

Read the affidavit.

Does it mention anything
about an informant?

No.

It appears to be a
routine follow-up

to a murder investigation.

They're looking for a suspect.

Everything's fine, right?

Stop by.

Got a little something
special for you.

Uh, you see Tingo
Chaves around here today?

We open at 5:00.

Well, listen, uh, you...
You could help me out here.

I mean, Tingo, he... he
owes me a few bucks.

And if you could point me
in the right direction,

I could make it worth
your while, you know.

Now, look, gezo,
hit the bricks running

before I tear your head off.

Now, why don't we just
start all over again?

Where is Tingo Chaves?

This is it, pal.

He went away.

You know, he blows in and
out of here like the wind.

Where does he live?

I don't know, on
my mother's eyes.

Now, this could be
the end of the ride,

so you think this
over real careful.

Who does he answer to?

The owner, Sherman...

Phillip Sherman.

And where's he?

How the hell do I know?

Thanks.

Bingo.

Go around the block.

We got a felony warrant
on that four-by.

1-William-156, code 1.

1-William-156, go.

156 meet 1-Adam-9, code 2.

6th and Alvarado regarding
your 187 vehicle.

Yeah.

56, roger.

A Sergeant Hunter was
the affiant on the warrant.

Is there any
indication that Granado

was working for the cops?

No, nothing that I saw.

All right.

Look harder.

Monitor their entire
investigation.

I'll buy anything you can get.

OK.

There's no backup.

Everyone's tied up to barricade
a suspect on Wilshire.

Yeah, I heard all about that.

Where is he?

A motel down the way.

He met two guys, loaded some
suitcases in the four-by,

went back inside.

Where's your partner?

He's down there with the Rover
keeping an eye on the motel.

OK.

You guys take the alley.

I'll go through the front
and try to get to these guys

before they hit their cars, OK?

MAN: 1-Adam-19,

the driver's out of
the room, and he's

getting into the four-by-four.

Keep going.

Remember, south into the
alley behind the motel.

Charlie.

What do we got?

Did you get an ID on him?

No idea as of yet.

But I want to show
you something.

Come here.
- All right.

That's the sign of
the cross... madre tattoo.

Marielito.
- Yep, Cuban.

That's what it looks like to me.

Come here.
I'll show you something else.

Must be more than
a million bucks.

Yeah.

Drug money?

Well, I'd say if it is drug
money, it's being laundered.

The two mules who
were handling it

took off when they
heard the gunfire.

So we've got a
$2 million puzzle,

and we're missing some pieces.

Yeah.

I think we got one more piece
of the puzzle to take a look at,

huh?
- All right.

Let's go.
Bill.

Take the money.

All units in the vicinity,

a 1-Adam-19, shots fired.

11921 Wilshire Boulevard,
penthouse suite.

1-Adam-19, code 2.

Don't even flinch.

Don't even think about that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's Jack Chance, Sacramento PD.

OK, lieutenant.

OK.

Now, wanna tell me
about your friends?

He shouldn't have
left you this long.

But Tingo got held up.

He was caught with
another $2 million.

Would you like to tell
me how they found out?

I don't know.

You don't know?

You really don't know, huh?

Wanna see something?

You see these batteries, huh?

I can do this as
long as I have to.

You can't.

Now, tell me if you're
working for the cops,

and I'll make it go real
quick for you after that.

How long you
been in town, lieutenant?

Not long.

All right, listen, captain.

I'd like to apologize for
going around with your Sergeant

Hunter here.

Why don't we just
call tonight a wash?

I'll go home.
I...

Sit down.

You're not going anywhere till
I find the truth, so sit down.

And I'm not buying your
I'm down here looking

for a fugitive crap, either.

Why didn't you check in with us?

Why didn't you let us know
you were working on a case

down here?

What's the matter, all the
phones in Sacramento busted?

What's your interest
in Henry Granado?

Now, look, Chance,
we know that you were

nosing around that
first arson homicide...

The one on 34th Street...

Monday night.

The victim was Henry Granado.

You know, I can call
your boss and get

him out of bed if you want.

Henry Granado was my informant.

All right.

And the rest?

I'm on loan to
the state attorney

general to task force working
on a money laundering operation.

They're muling drug
profits on the East Coast

and down to the Bahamas.

My primary suspect is a Cuban,
a Marielito named Chaves...

Tingo Chaves.

What about the
couple, the Bacas...

Dave and Becky?

They were staying
at Granado's condo.

State agents working undercover,

posing as man and wife.

I think you, uh...

I think you may have found
Agent Baca this morning

in that second torched house.

Well, I can understand
why you're anxious.

Yeah.

What went wrong?

Well, the feds.

They wanted some... some
money for evidence.

But they say it's supposed to
look like accidental seizures.

I tried to convince
them it was too risky.

Chaves and his people...
Whoever they are...

They didn't buy it for a minute.

So he started looking
for leaks right away.

So you think
Chaves killed Granado

and Baca to plug the leaks.

What about Mrs. Baca?

Her name's Becky Cruz.

And he's probably
working on her right now.

Why didn't you let us know?

We could have searched for her.

Because you got
leaks down here...

Dam busters.

Well, then, lay them out.

I, uh...

I ran some phone calls, a
couple of license plates.

Chaves found out.

And that's when
everything went to hell.

So you can understand why it is
I'm not too interested in, uh...

In you, uh... you messing
around with my case.

Listen, I'm... I'm
really dragging.

You think you could
have your sergeant here

drive me back to
the hotel so I could

bag a couple hours' sleep?

Because then in the
morning... early...

We could go out,
get Tingo Chaves.

I'm sure he'd take us
right to agent Cruz.

Is that Chavez?

Yeah.

What the hell happened to him?

I shot him.

You big, dumb bastard.

He was the only way
I could get to her.

All right.

What the hell went on?

Look, it was an accident.

The cop spotted his
car at the motel.

It was an accident.

It was no accident.

They were looking for that car.

Damn fool should have burned it.

He should have listened to me.

All right.

Is there any indication at
all that they know about me?

None.

Can't you find out?

Yeah, can I find out?

This whole thing is taking
a lot longer than I thought.

Now, with Tingo dead, I got
to do every little damn thing

by myself.

No, I need all the
help I can get.

And I want you to
be extra vigilant

for the next couple of days.

You understand?

Better move $5 million
down to Grand Bahama Island

by this weekend.

They're going to... or let's
just say I'll be permanently

persona non grata in Bogot.

154.830 megahertz.

That's our tac one.

Yeah.

It was just in case
I needed backup.

Just in case?

You know, you do have backup.
Why don't you use it?

This... this has
all the information

I have on the case...

Telephone tolls, address checks,
and a complete background

on the late Tingo Chaves.

You oughta get some sleep.

You're losing your edge.

I think you're right.

If you get out of here, I
call it a night, unless you

intend to camp on my doorstep.

No, I don't intend to
camp on your doorstep.

You know, you still haven't
answered my question.

Why the solo operation?

If I had 20 cops
down here beating

the bushes looking
for her, in two hours,

I'd hear it on the nightly news.

I don't intend to
lose any more agents.

What would you do if
it was your partner?

I tell you what I'd do.

I'd beat the bushes until
I knew she was safe,

but I'd use every available
resource given to me to do it.

Maybe you're right.

Matter of fact, I'm sure of it.

I'm losing my edge.

You better get some sleep.

I'll pick you up at 0700.

0700.

I need a doctor, please.

You'll get a doctor...

No.

As soon as I get my
$5 million returned, huh?

Either you're a cop
or you're not a cop.

Kee there nice until I find out.

So when I get
to his room, I check it.

He's gone.

His bed hasn't
even been slept in.

Well, I talked to his captain.

He says Chance is a
bulldog but no rogue.

But something is
driving that man hard.

You know, I get the impression
that you like the guy.

Well, look, I understand him.

I think you do, too.

He's lost some people he
cared about, he's close to.

No, he won't be
doing any sleeping.

He's out there
sitting on somebody.

All right.

You keep me posted.

I'm going to call the
Justice Department.

We don't know all we
should on this one.

Right.

Hunter, come here.

I want to show you something.

Ah, yes.

What is that?

A telephone toll analysis.

Agrusa over in narcotics
took the toll records

from Chance's file, and he ran
them through the NIN computer.

Check it out.

This is what he's got.

You mean every drug
connection in California's

been calling the El Papagayo?

Exactly.

It's owned by Phillip Sherman.

Agrusa says that they've
had a lot of rumbles on him

in the past.

And by the way, I
checked on Granado's car.

For whatever reason, the county
clerk's office ran a DMV check.

It wasn't for a repo.

One owner, and he paid cash.

County clerk's office, huh?

And you know who issues search
warrants for telephone records.

County clerk's office.

Hi.

Hi.

I'd like a number on
that warrant, please.

OK.

OK.

Your number's 3411.

Thank you.

You have a nice day, now.

Thank you.

Mr. Sherman, please.

Look, if you got
a case, make it.

Otherwise, I think
you'd better release me.

Gloria, last week,
you ran a DMV on a car

registered to a Henry Granado.
Why is that?

Me?

Sergeant, anyone in the
office could have run that.

I understand that.

But your ID number
is right there.

Look, if I'm the first one
to sign on in the morning,

I leave the computer open.

We have 60 clerks in my office.

Uh-huh.

Right after Sergeant
McCall left your office,

you called Phillip Sherman.

Why is that?

I called my brother, Frank.

He's been sick.

Your brother, Frank?

You know what we did, Gloria?

We tapped your phone.

You called Phillip Sherman.

You now have two choices...

One, cooperate with me, or
two, you got to go to jail.

All right.

These are the routes I want
you guys to follow, all right?

I also want a woman in
every car, you understand?

Every car.

It makes it look better.

And no one... this
includes you, Ricky...

No one exceeds the speed limit.

You also got false
identification

papers in there, just in case.

Yeah, Sherman.

Wait, wait.
Ho, ho, ho, ho.

When did all this happen?

They just left.

The cops searched
Chaves's place.

Apparently he kept a diary.

It implicates you
in two murders.

OK, um,
read me the entire affidavit.

All right.

All right.

Just, uh, just listen.

You gotta try to get ahold
of that diary somehow.

Because that's the only thing
that connects me with him.

Sherman.

Everybody just keep your
hands right on that table.

Now, why don't you
just put that phone

down and slide out of here.

Because we're leaving right now.

Have a squad car
meet me at 4311 Ventura

Boulevard, code 2 hotshot.

And then lock her up.

You got it, Sarge.

Get on the floor.

Get on the floor!

Come on.

Getting the hell out of here.

What do you want, hmm?

Just take me to her, OK?

Crazy, take you to who?

All right.

Just relax, man.

Relax.

Just relax, huh?

You'll never make gezo.

Drop it and...

Now, if you wanna live, you
take me to Becky right now.

Come on.

Come on.

Just drive this thing.

This is Adam-11.

Can you have William-56
meet me on an open tac?

Thanks.

I want to explain.

Colombians have a
representative down here.

His name is Tingo Chaves.

He's the one that
called all the shots.

In fact, he's the
one that picked

up Granado and the Bacas.

Yeah, I mean, you know
those cocaine cowboys.

Violence is the solution
to all the problems, right?

I want you to believe me, now.

I tried to prevent it.

I didn't...

How much further is it?

All units on tac 1 standby.

We have a tactical emergency.

MAN: Air-9, roger.

He's making a left
turn on Franklin.

Roger, air-9.

Uh, it's flown out
of Miami twice a month...

$10 million laundered
through a bank

in Grand Bahama run by a
Brit, a Ralph Pennington.

And the connection is
a Colombian businessman

who lives in Miami.

And I'll testify to that.

That's what you
want, isn't it, huh?

And then you can
take everyone in.

They're in the
alley, rear entrance.

OK.

You guys watch the front.
I'll go around the back.

All right, now where is she?

Where is she?

All right.

Second door on the left.

Becky!

Becky!

Oh, Becky.

It'll be all right.

No, no, no.

No, please.

You gotta believe me.

It was Tingo who hurt her.

It was Tingo!

Chance!

Killing a drug pusher
isn't worth it.

Put the gun down.

No.

He tortured Becky to death.

The law'll take care of him.

Put it down.

What would you do if it
was your daughter, huh?

No!
