Tonight on "Hunter."

I didn't know that stuff was stolen.

You're a liar, and I'm going to prove it.

That stuff the cops found you fencing leads back to me.

I'm not telling the cops squat.

Wait a minute.

You're looking at 10 years, punk.

Now, where is he?

There's maybe a dozen guys that could handle the volume

The Captain was doing.

You're asking me to give up my life here.

Give up what?

The possibility of being killed?

What is going on?

Alex asked me to marry him.

I want you to back off McCall.

What happens between me and Dee Dee is

really none of your business.

Why don't you stop mothering me?

I'm fine, all right?

I love her!

And so do I.

Previously seen on "Hunter."

You all right?

Yeah.

Freeze, Martinez!

Gosh, it's good to see you.

What are you doing here?

One minute I'm in Africa, the next time I'm here in LA.

From here I go to Oxford, where I have been offered a research

grant, thank you very much.

Aren't you going to be at Hollenbeck tomorrow?

Is that tomorrow?

Holy smokes.

Tomorrow's my day in the burrough.

There's a flyer about a major fencing operation

somewhere in our little domain.

I want it found and shut down.

It's a good thing he's the best fence in town.

He is too weird to be anything else.

Officer, officer, my friend, they're beating him!

Alex, this is just so strange.

We've been in and out of each other's lives for eight years.

What are we doing?

I think we're dancing.

I've been looking for you.

You've got to help me find the people who beat up George.

I don't know nothing.

Is this him?

Yeah.

That's The Captain, all right.

Andrew Seeley.

Previous arrest for receiving stolen property,

aggravated assault.

Yeah, and now murder.

Where is he, Pete?

Freeze!

Police!

What you really want is this grant in England.

You can't give that up for me.

You can't give that up.

Well, I can't ask you to give up your life's work either.

So what are you saying?

I love you.

I want you to marry me.

And now, part two.

The case is simple.

There's no way I'm doing time on this.

There's no way they can prove that I

knew that stuff was stolen.

Shit happens all the time to me.

Seeley!

Yeah, what is it?

Just because you made bail, don't leave town.

Why should I leave LA?

I didn't know that stuff was stolen.

You're a liar, and I'm going to prove it.

Make a note of that.

I'll see you later.

Come on.

You know, a guy gets out on bail,

he's not going to stick around LA very long.

You know that, don't you? - I know.

But look on the bright side.

At least you've still got Stroud in custody.

What are you walking so fast for?

Oh, I'm just in a hurry to get out today.

What, you got a hot date with Alex?

That obvious, huh?

Gee, you two have been spinning around

together the last four days.

To anybody that didn't know you, they'd swear you were a zombie.

I want to ask you something.

Yeah?

What do you think about Alex?

What do I think of Alex? I don't know.

He seems like a nice enough guy, I suppose.

Well, I know that.

But, I mean, what do you really think about him?

Gee, you're awfully serious, aren't you?

Well, it's just that you're my best friend.

And, you know, just from a man's point

of view, what do you think?

OK.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give my 9.5

Really?

A 9.5?

How come not a 10?

Because he's not a police officer.

I don't care what you got.

I can't do nothing with the cops sitting on me.

I'm banking on you, man.

Yeah?

Bank on somebody else.

I'm out of business for a while.

I got some prime merchandise coming my way.

You are passing up a very big deal.

Look, you tell me, smart guy.

I'm out on bail.

I'm facing heavy time.

My lawyer's telling me to lie low.

What would you do?

I need a pipeline I can count on.

I thought that was you.

My mistake.

Look, I'm not parking my life in the slam

20 years for your sake or anybody else's.

Ease off, man.

There's plenty other people I can do business with.

If you want to pass up a solid gold deal, that's your problem.

How'd everything go at UCLA?

Not bad.

Not bad.

Pretty positive.

No guarantees, but I think that they

may have a position for me similar to the one

that I was offered at Oxford.

Now all I need is a reason to stay.

I believe you owe me an answer to a very important question.

Yeah, I do.

I love you.

I want you to be my wife.

Well? - Yes, Alex.

- Yes? - Yes.

Yes?

Yes!

Oh!

You've made so happy!

You're not going to regret this.

I promise.

I'm going to make you very happy.

Oh, you already have.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I just... I have to know.

Are you very, very sure about this thing in England?

I know how much it means to you.

There'll be other opportunities.

Right now, you are the most important thing to me.

So now what do we do?

I don't know.

We tell everybody.

We tell people.

Who do you want tell first?

Oh, family, of course.

Rick.

And I'll have to find a time where I can be alone with him

and I can sit and we can talk.

You and Rick have been partners for a long time.

How do you think he's going to take it?

He's going to be very, very happy for me

because I am happy for me.

I love you.

And I love you very much.

I gotta go.

Speaking of fat guys, what

ever happened to Pete Mulcahy.

Oh, geeze.

He opened a little bar over in the..

- Come on. - Oh, come on.

Yeah. Most of his customers are cops.

It's like he never even retired.

Really?

You know, when I mothball this job,

I'm going to leave the department behind me

once and for all.

I'm not going to become another Pete Mulcahy.

Well, to each his own, I suppose.

You still going to Idaho? - Oh, yeah.

Absolutely.

My brother-in-law and I bought a motel up there.

15 units on a beautiful lake.

Going to run a little fishing camp.

You know my son's a forest ranger, right?

Yeah.

So just going to play with my grandkids and fish.

- Sounds great, huh? - Yeah.

It's going to be terrific.

You've got to come up and visit sometime.

Love to.

Get away from this sinkhole of a city.

Hey, get away from the Andrew Seeleys of life, huh?

You know he made bail, don't you?

Come on.

You're not surprised, are you?

Well, listen, I'm never surprised

at what the judicial system does in this city.

OK.

Let's do it.

This is obviously not a very good drawing,

but you get the idea.

If you tie the foundation...

Yeah, I got it.

Rick, listen to me.

Made it official today.

What's that?

Put in for my 30 year retirement.

You got to be kidding me.

No.

Dave Peterson, congratulations, my man.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Your dream's coming true, huh?

Oh, it is.

It is.

Hey, you're a young man. Don't waste it.

Come on up and stay with us awhile.

I'd love to.

But there's an old saying, everything in its time, David.

It's just not my time to retire.

But I would like to come to Idaho and go fishing with you.

Well, do it, and do it soon.

Because I know a beautiful little stream up there filled

with trout where you can mellow out and forget LA even exists.

What I want to know is when the big retirement party is.

I haven't set it yet.

But don't worry about it.

I expect everyone from Chief Gates on down to be there.

Really?

Mhm.

Oh, man, look at the time.

Hey, put your money in your pocket.

You owe me one when I come up to Idaho to see you.

All right. Be my pleasure.

Absolutely.

Listen, I appreciate the two days on the street.

- No problem. - All right.

You take care.

Keep me posted on the party, huh?

All right. Hey, Rick.

Yeah?

No lampshades.

Just relax, honey.

This is kind of like a trip to the dentist.

It'll all be over before you know it.

Take a look at this.

Ooh.

It's gotta be worth, what, a quarter of a million?

What do you do, anyway?

It's none of your business.

You got a wise mouth, pal, and you're

in no position to open it.

Look, you've got what you want.

Now get out of here!

Don't you ever tell me what to do.

He didn't mean it.

Please don't hurt him.

Attention all units in the vicinity

of 6785 Fairfield Lane.

Code 30 Ringer.

Use caution.

4 Lincoln 20.

I'll take the Fairfield call.

Roger, Lincoln 20.

Backup is on the way.

I found this munchkin hiding upstairs.

I bet you she pulled the silent alarm.

Did you do that, little girl?

Huh?

Did you do that?

Huh?

Did you do that?

Huh?

Don't touch her!

No!

Oh, oh, oh.

I told you not to mess with me!

For god's sake, please don't kill him!

Tie these nice people up.

I'm gonna bring the car around.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

One second.

Police!

Freeze!

All right.

Put the stuff down real slow.

Interlock your fingers behind your head.

Turn around, now!

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Hunter, I need to talk to you a second.

Yeah.

What's up?

Dave Peterson was killed last night.

We don't have any details.

He was on his way home and looks like he answered a 211 call.

I was just with him last night.

I know that you two guys were close and...

How was he killed, Charlie?

Shot in the back.

Shot in the back.

Shot in the back?

Why are you crying?

I wasn't crying, honey.

I was just a little upset, is all.

Are you a policemen?

Yes, I am.

What's your name?

Robin Hawkins.

I already talked to the other policemen last night.

Robin, did you see the men that broke into your house

last night?

Yes, but they're wearing masks.

So you couldn't see their faces.

No.

The men were mean.

The one with the snakes, he pushed me down.

Snakes.

What do you means snakes?

What kind of snakes?

Black ones.

Black snakes.

Did he have a tattoo?

- No, a bracelet. - I see.

Is your mother and father OK?

Yes.

Good.

Are they in the house?

OK.

I'm going to go in talk to them, OK?

OK.

Thanks, Robin.

Why did they kill the other policeman?

I don't know, honey.

Must be 1,000 people wearing those medical alert bracelets.

How are we going to narrow it down to our suspect?

Well, I'm checking NCIC for any convicted

felons with medical problems. - That's great.

But even if NCIC comes through, that list

will be as long as our arms.

Look, that's the only lead I've got right now, Charlie.

How you doing, Alex? - Hi.

How you doing?

Hi.

I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

I just wanted to talk a little bit.

Why don't we go in the conference room, OK?

Sure. Sure.

Hunter doesn't seem very happy.

There was a police officer that was killed,

and it's kind of a tough situation for him right now.

I'm sorry.

You couldn't know.

What's going on?

Well, I just spoke with the head of the department at UCLA.

We got along very well, but he threw me a curveball.

They won't be doing any hiring for at least six months, maybe

a year, depending on the funding.

You're kidding.

I've thought that they were ready immediately.

So did I. Doesn't matter.

I'll work it out.

Of course, you could leave all of this

and just move with me to London.

That would be nice.

Yes, that would be very nice.

I just don't know if I can make that kind of move just yet.

It's a big one.

Whatever you decide, we'll work out.

Excuse me.

We do have some work to do.

Yeah.

I'll walk you out.

OK.

As soon as he gets in, have him give me a call.

Appreciate it very much.

Thank you.

What did you find out?

I have traced a dozen possible suspects.

They either all live out of state

or they have solid alibis for last night.

Yeah.

I'm going to have Charlie put a couple

more detectives.

- Not a bad idea. - Hunter.

Homicide.

This is Bolin over at Hollenbeck.

I think I've got something for you.

I just had a burglary victim go through some of the property

that Andrew Seeley was fencing.

Our victim found his TV and a VCR,

but that's not the half of it.

Yeah?

The TV and VCR

was stolen by some home crashers.

The same MO used by the crew that killed Peterson.

I'd lay odds that Andrew Seeley knows who they are.

Tom, you've been a big help.

Thanks very much.

Let's go.

I'm not sure I'm getting through to you on this one.

That stuff the cops found you fencing leads back to me.

So?

So if the cops figure it out, I don't

want you rolling over on me.

I'm not telling the cops squat.

Well, I'm just making sure that's all because my life

rides on this one.

I'm not a cement wall.

I got the message.

Didn't I tell you we could count on this guy?

That's what you said.

Here he is.

Third floor.

- Thanks, Captain. - Yeah.

Right.

Get it open! Open that door!

It's locked!

Get out of here!

The ladder.

We'll never make it.

We will one at a time.

You draw his fire, I'll cover you when I get there.

You take.

Won't let you down.

Ready?

Go!

Pratt! You bastard!

Get back here!

Yeah.

Your composite IDs him as Everett Pratt.

Armed assault, robbery, attempted murder.

He's also a diabetic, which gives

him a perfect reason to wear a medical alert bracelet.

Now, all we got to do is find him.

That's what Stroud's going to tell me right now.

Where can I find Everett Pratt?

Never heard him.

Come here for a minute.

Wait a minute!

You're looking at 10 years, punk.

Now, where is he?

Can we work a deal or something?

Yeah. We can work a deal.

Where is he?

I don't know where he is.

He dropped the stuff off, we pay him, we move stuff out.

You know how it works. - Yeah.

I know how it works.

Now, where can Pratt fence this stuff?

Come on. Don't go to sleep.

There's maybe a dozen guys that can handle the volume

The Captain was doing. - Good.

Start writing.

You're telling me Kelsey is dead

and you were almost killed?

What, are we crazy or something here?

Let's forget the damn stuff and get the hell out of here.

Keep your voice down.

We're not going anywhere.

We fence the stuff we already got.

It's too big a risk now.

No, it isn't.

We're just dropping the stuff off.

That's all.

I just want out of this, Pratt.

OK.

You're out.

There's the door, hot shot.

All you gotta do is walk through it, but you leave with nothing.

All right.

I will unload the stuff.

So who's gonna fence it now?

Kelsey mentioned a guy named Magruder.

Says he's really good.

Take your hands off the table.

You really have to go?

Yeah.

I have a lot of work to do.

Never quit, huh?

I told you a police officer was murdered.

Hunter's probably in interrogation right now,

and I should be there.

I really should.

You don't think he can handle it on his own?

It's not about him.

It's about me.

It's part of my job.

You know that.

Did you tell him yet?

No, I haven't told him.

Not yet.

I see.

It just has to be the right time.

What's going on?

Alex, there's just so many changes happening.

And I'm... and here you are willing

to give up something that you've wanted for your whole life.

You know, if this thing at UCLA doesn't work out,

I'm going to feel responsible.

You're not responsible.

I am.

I'm an adult. I can take care of myself.

But I want you to be a part of my life.

Everything's going to be OK.

Yeah.

I know it will.

- Captain! - Yeah.

What's... what's going on? - Yeah.

I ran the list of names I got from Stroud against Kelsey's

known associates.

It's got one constant... a fence by the name of Magruder.

- That's great. - Yeah.

Is McCall in here? - Yeah.

She's inside.

Hey... hey, listen, take it easy. - I know.

I will. Yeah.

This is William 56.

Code 6.

1700 Pritchard Street Terminal Island.

OK.

I don't know if Magruder's in there or not, or who he's with.

Let's not take any chances.

Why don't you go around to the back?

OK.

Give me about 20 seconds.

You've got 10.

You're so demanding.

Hunter!

He's going north around the back!

Magruder!

Hold it right there!

Police!

You know, Magruder, I don't think that prison

food agrees with you.

You've got to lose a little weight.

All right.

Bend your arm at the elbow.

How's that?

- It's all right. - All right.

Raise your arm up in the air.

Raise it above your head.

How's that?

That's a little sore in there.

All right.

- How's she doing? - She's all right.

No broken bones.

Some bad bruises.

Possible hematoma.

I suggest she put her arm in a sling for a couple of weeks,

but that's up to her.

I don't... I don't need to do that.

It's fine. - I'm all finished.

You can leave whenever you'd like.

- Thanks very much. - Thank you.

All right. Take it easy.

I just finished talking to Charlie.

He wants you to take the rest of the day off.

I don't need to take the rest of the day off.

I'm fine. Thank you.

What do you got on Magruder?

Well, we think Magruder's a hotline to Pratt.

We're setting up a surveillance at Magruder's right now.

You think he's going to go for that?

He has no choice.

Dee Dee?

I just heard.

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

How'd you even find out it was here?

I called the precinct and they told me you were here.

What happened?

We went to go interview a suspect.

He attacked you, right?

I mean, that's what they told me.

No, he didn't attack me.

I just got knocked down.

Like that's no big deal or something?

What...

Look, I've got to take care of some business.

I'll talk to you later.

I'm a doctor.

I'm used to being around hospitals.

But this is very new for me.

You're acting like this is some kind of an occupational hazard

or it goes with the territory.

Alex, that's exactly right.

I mean, come on.

You know that.

Sometimes my job demands that I get

put in dangerous situations.

That's part of my job. - All right.

All right.

Look, I haven't said no to Oxford yet.

Perhaps we should reconsider.

How's this.

I take the job, you come with me.

Is that good?

Wait a second.

You're asking me to give up what I do.

You're asking me to give up my life here.

Give up what?

The possibility of being killed?

Alex, you don't have a right to ask me to give up what I do.

I have every right.

I love you.

We're getting married, remember?

Look, Dee Dee, this is not some capricious demand

that I'm making.

I don't know if I could handle the idea

of my wife being shot at.

I don't know if I can deal with that.

Well, Alex...

I realize that I'm asking you to make a sacrifice.

Just think about it, all right?

Please.

Alex, I don't...

I don't know if I can make that sacrifice.

Well, we're both going to have to deal with that, aren't we?

Make sure you talk to Ed Cameron next to the other TVs.

Now, with all the electronic stuff

that's in here, even if someone notices,

they'll think it's just a part of what Magruder is fencing.

We've got a surveillance van two blocks away.

The way it's parked, they'll never notice it.

Good.

You're betting a lot that Pratt will show.

No, Pratt will show up, all right.

And when he does, he's mine.

Hi. How you doing?

You're supposed to be at home, aren't you?

Yeah.

I didn't want to be at home.

Oh.

You know Tom Bolin, don't you?

Sure.

Yeah.

How you doing?

Listen, I'm going to finish up around here

and get back to the van.

If anything happens, I'll let you know.

Yeah. Thanks, Tom.

You should be home resting.

Why don't you stop mothering me.

I'm fine, all right?

What's going on?

There's nothing going on.

Wait, what are you doing?

Hey, McCall.

McCall.

Hey.

Hey, wait, what are you doing?

I used to know exactly what I wanted.

Now I just don't even know anymore.

Sergeant Hunter.

Are we going somewhere, Alex?

Yeah.

I'm going to London.

What can I do for you?

I'll get right to the point, Alex.

I want you to back off McCall.

Yeah.

Well, with all due respect, Sergeant Hunter,

what happens between me and Dee Dee

is really none of your business.

It is my business, Alex.

I'm a police officer.

McCall is my partner.

I'm working on something very, very important.

I need her.

You're screwing her up.

Back off.

You are way out of line here.

Yeah.

I love her.

Yeah.

So do I. Back off.

That's a good idea.

Hey, listen, I'm sorry that I got upset yesterday.

Forget about it.

I should have told you what's been going on,

but Peterson's murder and everything,

it just never seemed like the right time.

Now I don't even know if it matters anymore.

Hey, just what is going on?

Alex asked me to marry him.

What'd you say?

I said yes.

But after yesterday afternoon, I'm...

I'm not sure.

It just seems like it's all up in the air.

I don't know.

One way 56.

56 go.

Go to channel 21 for transmission

with Detective Bolin.

Bolin, Hunter here.

Hunter, where the hell are you?

We're about five minutes away.

Good.

Because we got action down here.

Some guy by the name of Williams showed up claiming

to be a friend of Kelsey's.

It was about 10 minutes ago.

Good.

And Hunter, he said he

and a guy named Pratt are coming back in a couple of hours.

Boy, I don't like this.

What are you crying about now, Jake?

I don't know.

There's got to be some other way.

I don't trust Magruder.

Look, we're just going to drop this stuff

off and be on our way.

Five minutes we'll be gone.

In and out.

What kept you?

I've got no time for conversation.

You got the money?

Yeah, I got your money.

Freeze!

Hi.

How long you been standing there?

Not very long.

Just needed to be alone.

Have some time to think about some things.

Went by the hotel to talk with Alex.

I... I owed him an apology.

See, last night I went over there

and kind of shot my mouth off.

I was a little out of line, so I went back and told him so.

He loves you very much.

You love him?

Yeah.

I never thought that I could feel like this again

after Steven died, but I do.

What are you going to do about it?

I want to be with him.

That means going off to London.

He's been offered a great job there.

Of course, I checked into it for myself.

There's an organization I can work

with there that deals with kids, so I can still be of service.

That's important to me.

It's part of what this job has been here for me.

This job is...

I wouldn't trade the memories for anything.

They're all right here.

It's just saying goodbye is really hard.

Look, we're too good of friends to say goodbye.

What we've had is almost like a marriage.

So saying goodbye is not like a divorce.

It's just that... makes me feel good to know

that you found someone you want to share your life with.

Makes me feel good.

I'm going to miss you.

We've had some times, huh?

Oh, yes.

I guess if I need to find you, I know where I can look.

Yup.

Right over there.

Extension 315.

Look, go to Alex.

Go to London.

Buy a big, nice house with lots of closet space.

You're going to need it.

Go ahead.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

I present to you Dr. And Mrs. Alexander Turner.

Oh, congratulations.

Good luck. Good luck.

Thank you very much.

Congratulations.

Bye.

Well, looks like the end of an era.

Oh, I don't know, Charlie.

I think it could be the beginning of a new one.

Come on.

Let's see if we can get lucky.

Bye.

Wait a minute.

Are you going to throw that thing?

Oh, that's right.
