All language subtitles for Hunter S07E02 - Deadly Encounters - Part 02

Previously, on "Hunter."

Call me Mirov.

I'd like us to be on
a first name basis.

OK, Mirov.

Nobody moves, nobody dies!

Open it.

I'll take that.

Let's go!

Bill!

You idiots!

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

I'm a cop!

Join the club!

So are we... Metro!

You ought to learn
how to drive, pal!

What's your problem?

You.

You're my problem.

Why do you always
side with them?

Them?
As in the proverbial them?

Are we talking about a
particular them, as in Hunter?

In this particular
case, it's Hunter.

- Petra Alexandra?
- Yes?

I am Nikolai Janosch.

Oh, god.

Do you have any
idea who did this?

No, I don't... not
yet, but we will.

Did you know your
brother carried a gun?

And his personal effects?

Yeah, they've been impounded.

Except for the wallet.

It was stolen the
day he was killed.

Let's go inside.

You still like your eggs
scrambled in the morning.

Mirov was bringing large
sums of money into this

country illegally... his money.

And he didn't know who
his connection was.

Brancus.

Illia Brancus.

Illia Brancus?

Drop the gun, Brancus... police!

You have no idea
where Leroy Baynes is?

Didn't you hear her?

He's out.

No!

No, no.

No!

And now,
Part Two of "Hunter."

If Saccio had a partner
he could have counted on,

maybe he'd still be alive.

I warned him about her.

I knew she'd get
him killed someday...

I'm so glad you're here.

They should never
have let her into Metro.

You won't catch me
with a woman partner.

What kind of partner is that?

A lousy one.

She wasn't there
when he needed her.

It wasn't my fault Michael died.

He fell in love with you.

That's what got him killed.

That's a lie!

Ask Hunter... he knows.

He knows the truth... ask
him! Ask him!

Tell them the truth.

Tell them I didn't
do anything wrong.

Tell them what happened.

Tell them I didn't
do anything wrong!

You know as well as
I do what you did...

You let your partner down.

You got him killed.

No.

No, that's not true.

You know that's not true.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why?

Hey, it's another hot day in LA.

Highs in the 90s, and
talk about that smog!

Unhealthful air quality today...

That's what the AQMD says.

So, if you like
breathing that junk,

rise and shine, because
it's your kind of day.

Man, whoever killed
Saccio and the Pinder

woman's pretty damn vicious...
This is no ordinary killer,

Charlie.

I hear Hunter's got a
hunch and somebody's trail

in this case.

He's inside.

Molenski.

I want you to give
Hunter everything you

and Saccio had on the Pinders.

I briefed him myself...
He's up to speed on things.

Good.
I'm putting him in charge.

You can't do that.

This is a Metro case!

Hunter's right in
the middle of it.

He's the best homicide
cop we've got.

And besides, I think you
need a little distance.

You think I'm not on top of it?

I think you need a few days off.

I want this case, Commander.

I won't be taken off.

Joanne...

You can't pull me back now!

I've made my decision.

But that's not fair...

I don't want any arguments!

Captain, just got a
lead on Nikolai Janosch.

1455 Avenue, Starlight
Motel, Room 218.

Where'd you get this?

Our guys ran Illia
Brancus' phone messages.

Seems he's been
calling the Starlight

Motel ever since Janosch
checked out his hotel.

I'm gonna need Molenski on this.

I just gave her
a little time off

where she can sort things out.

No, with all due
respect, Commander,

she knows too much
to sit around.

I... I'm gonna need her.

Hm.

It might do her a lot of good.

All right.

She's yours.

Thank you.

You all right?

Yeah.

Michael always said a gut
feeling was more accurate

than straight instinct.

This time, his
instincts let him down.

You were right about this
case from the beginning.

It's just a hunch I played.

I can't sleep nights.

This thing is tearing me apart.

I've gotta know
who killed Michael.

You know the feeling, don't you?

Not knowing, wondering
if you've done enough.

Waiting for something, anything,
that makes sense of it.

All because some bastard
decided to pull the trigger.

And then Clayton asks me to...

To give it up, like I'm
not supposed to care.

Michael Saccio died here.

How can I let go of
something like that?

You don't have to.

You're working with me now.

Did you speak to Clayton?

Just got a lead
on Nikolai Janosch.

We'll go pick him up,
you wanna come along.

You better believe it.

Come on.

Sergeant, I have a 3
o'clock flight to Mexico City.

Oh, I know you do.

We're gonna have to go
over this again, though.

Whatever you say.

Now, when did you leave Romania?

Two years ago.

Two years ago.

Now your brother's been
here 5 and 1/2 years.

He started investing in LA
real estate... started buying up

small office buildings,
apartments, retail shops.

Where'd he get the money?

My brother did not discuss...

Hi Captain.

His business dealings.

- How's he doing?
- Except for Illia Brancus.

Nothing.

I never heard of this man.

Well, sure you have.

That's his passport.

You'll notice he's been making
trips once a month to Mexico

City for the last two years.

That's where you're from,
isn't it, Mexico City?

I thought they lived this
kind of police harassment

behind in Romania.

I may not be a citizen
of your country,

but I still have rights.

Brancus flew off a building
with $400,000 of your money.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

If you think that I've
done something illegal,

charge me with a crime.

I don't have to sit here
listening to your threats.

I'm also looking
for a cop killer.

Let me see your hands.
- What?

Let me see your hands.

You have strong hands.

Hunter.

Can I see you a minute?

So what you want to
do with this guy?

I wanna hold on to
him as long as I can.

Well, we got nothing
to hold him on.

You're gonna have to kick
him loose sooner or later.

Yeah, I know that.

I understand he's got a 3
o'clock flight to Mexico City.

He sure does.

I don't see why he can't
miss his flight, though.

You like this guy, huh?

Yeah, I like him a lot, but uh...

I'd kick him loose
and see what happens.

All right.

Process him out.

Have him tailed.

We'll see if Mr. Janosch
gets on the flight or not.

Yes sir.

I hope we're not making a
mistake, cutting him loose.

Come on to the front desk.

I have an idea we're
gonna see this guy again.

I'll complete a 5-10,
then I'll release you.

Police have made no arrests

in the double slaying
of police officer

Michael Saccio and 47-year-old
housewife Dorothy Pinder.

We never should've
left her alone,

especially with that
tall cop snooping around.

What the hell are we
supposed to do, smart guy,

just run back there
and blow him away?

We don't even know for
sure if he killed Ma.

He shot Leroy at the diner...

We saw him at the house.

Now Ma is dead.

What does that tell you?

Tells me you got a
piston loose, buddy!

You kill a cop, you got the
whole world on your butt.

He that don't pay them
back that hurts his kin

is no man at all.

Well, we'll worry
about that later.

Right now, I'm
worried about him.

Daddy?

You OK?

We were married for 27 years.

Dottie was the
best wife a man could ask for.

The best mother
two boys like you could want.

We know that, Pa.

But... we got to go on.

We still got each other.

I suppose so.

There'll never
be another like our Dottie.

- I'd like to...
- -take a moment

to say a prayer in her memory.

Dear Jesus.

We've taken a terrible blow,
and we ask for your mercy.

The mother of my
children is dead,

and we don't know what
we'll do without her.

But we pray for your help

in visiting death
and destruction

upon those who ended her life.

Let us act as tools
of your retribution,

and help us to kill those
who took our Dottie from us.

In your name.

Amen.

Amen.

Come on, son.

Let's go settle a
score with some cops.

Right.

OK, yeah.

Thanks.

We appreciate the help.

Tail on Janosch says he's, uh...

Taken off on that
flight to Mexico City.

The Mexican police are
going to keep an eye on him.

That's good.

If Janosch did
kill Michael, he's

gonna have to go a lot farther
than Mexico City to hide.

Hey.

How you doing?

I don't know.

OK, I guess.

How about dinner?

On me.

Hey, thanks, but I can't.

I gotta go pick up a birthday
present for my father.

The family's throwing a
party for him tonight.

Well, good... maybe that's
the best thing for you,

to be with your family and all.

Yeah.

Maybe.

Hey, thanks anyway.

See you tomorrow.

Hey, good news.

Our guys found something
at the Pinder house...

An order form for Lyle Pinder.

Seems he's been buying real
estate development tapes.

Weird hobby.

Yeah.

I got an address on them over
at... uh, Ventura County line.

Like to check it out.

Come on.

I want to take care of this now.

Damn.

Damn him!

Why did he have
to go out there alone?

He was just doing
his job, Joanne.

You said there was
someplace you wanted to go?

It's stuffy in here.

Open up some windows.

Somebody's been in here.

I'm positive.

Yeah, it's probably
that tall cop.

I'm serious, Pa.

This boy's pilot light is out.

Somebody's been in here.

I know they have.

Were you followed?

No.

I did exactly as you said.

You told the police about
Illia Brancus, didn't you?

And that cost me $400,000!

Never lie to me again!

Tell me the truth,
and do what I say!

And you will have
nothing to be afraid of.

Can I trust you?

Yes.

My brother kept a great deal
of money in safe deposit boxes

at different banks
in Los Angeles.

I found the box keys
at his apartment,

but the code names for the bank
branches were in his wallet

when it was stolen.

Then you don't know
which banks have the money.

I will find out soon enough.

When I do, I will
need someone to forge

my brother's name on
the signature cards

at each of the branches.

I can't impersonate
your brother.

He used his first
initial and his last name...

M. Janosch.

The banks won't care
if the signature

belongs to a man or a woman, as
long as it matches their copy.

You are good at
retouching photographs...

Can you fake a
signature as well?

I can try.

Good.

That's all I ask.

Hey, Charlie.

Oh, hi, Commander.

I heard that you
were looking for me.

That's right.

Congratulations... you
just made Metro, pal.

Well, when did the
decision come down?

About an hour ago... you were
hands down number one choice.

When can you start?

Couple of days, I guess.

I need you there
as of yesterday,

so wrap up your business in
homicide as soon as you can.

All right... I'll do what I can.

Has there been an
announcement yet?

I plan to release a
statement later today.

Do you think you can hold
it off just a little?

I'd like to talk to Hunter.

I think he should get
this news from me first.

OK, but make it soon.

You're gonna love the
action in Metro, Charlie.

Let's meet tomorrow
for an orientation.

Great.

Thanks a lot, Tom.

Pa, I'm telling you
someone's been in here.

I'm tired of listening to this!

We got no food in the house.

That store down on the main road

and get something.

Give him some money, son.

Why don't you ever call me son?

'Cause you're a mistake
me and your Ma made.

Now shut up.

I want hamburgers for supper.

Make sure you don't forget
the buns and pickles.

You better go with him
so he don't screw up.

- I can handle it.
- You couldn't handle a broom.

Get out of here.

Look... I uh, I didn't mean to
jump all over you this morning.

Sorry about that.

You don't have
to apologize to me.

I understand how important
Saccio was to you.

He was my best friend.

When I started at
Metro, none of the other guys

wanted to work with me.

Being a woman and all.

And then along comes
Michael Saccio.

He helped me make
a place for myself at Metro.

He was usually so busy
shooting off his mouth,

people didn't notice
when a great guy he was.

Two guys in a red truck!

This is at 21 Charles...

Officer needs help!

Repeat, officer needs
help... shots fired!

Highway 8, half a mile
west of Junction 15.

We got a guy right behind
the water tower with a shotgun.

Pa!

Go on, get him!

Get him!

Down!

I heard about the
Pinders... what happened?

Nothing good.

Harlan Pinder is dead... he's
the one we needed alive...

And his two boys got away.
- I don't know what it is.

We can't catch a
break on this case.

Commander, Captain.

Ballistics say the slugs from
Saccio's and Dorothy Pinder's

body came from a Tokarev,
a weapon manufacturer

in Czechoslovakia.

Members of the
Romanian Securitate

were known to carry it.

Kind of a long way from the
Securitate to Pinder's place,

isn't it?

Well, not as long
as you might think.

Now, the murders
at the Pinder house

led us to a prime suspect...

Former member of the
Romanian Securitate.

He's a KGB-trained assassin,
suspected in the deaths of over

300 Romanian dissidents.

He's had pilot training,
he's a crack marksman,

and he's well versed
in the martial arts.

He's also known to use torture
as an interrogation tool.

I think this is the guy
that jumped me at Mirov

Janosch's apartment, Charlie.

Two years ago, he
disappeared from Romania.

A couple of weeks
later, his fingerprints

were found at the murder scene
of a passport forger in Rome.

The gun used in
the Rome killing's

the same one used on
Saccio and Mrs. Pinder.

Where is he now?

He's in LA, looking
for something.

You get a name on this guy?

His name's Arno Kudriescu,
former third in command

of the Romanian Securitate.

This is the only photo
Interpol has on him.

Now I had our sketch
artist make some changes

in this photograph.

This is what we came up with.

Nikolai Janosch.

Well, there are a
couple of bad guys

we won't have to
worry about anymore.

How you doing, Captain?

Nice shooting.

Thanks, Captain.

Can I see you a minute, Hunter?

Yeah.

Look, I know that you're up
to your eyeballs in this case,

but there's
something I think you

ought to hear from me before
you hear from anyone else.

Yeah, what's up?

I'm leaving Homicide.

I'm gonna take a
Captain slot in Metro.

It's something I've been
thinking about for quite

a while, and I guess it's
really just time for me

to make a change.

Believe me, it was
a tough decision.

Hey, look... I guess you gotta
do what you gotta do, Charlie.

Well, thanks...
I appreciate that.

I got a meeting
right now with Clayton, so uh...

I'll talk to you
before I move out.

Yeah.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Everything's all right.

Sergeant Hunter?

Yes.

This telex just came in
from Mexico City police.

Oh, brother.

Thanks very much.

What is it?

Seems that Kudriescu
never returned

to his place of residence.

They checked the flight, and
found it stopped in San Diego

to take on more passengers.

Means he's still here.

Yeah.

The State Department
gave me everything

they had on Janosch...

Strictly sub rosa.

Now they know that... uh,
his brother's in Los Angeles,

right?

No, but they said
if they had, they'd

have been able to possibly
trace Janosch's whereabouts

and give the information
to certain of his friends.

His friends being England,
France, Italy, Sweden...

They've all got warrants
out for his arrest

under various names
and identities.

For what?

Seems he's the prime suspect
in several assassinations

over the past few years.

A member of the
British Foreign Service

killed in Afghanistan, a Soviet
scientist who defected in Paris

four years ago, a
Swedish consul smuggling

dissidents out of Bulgaria.

The KGB called it
"janitor work."

Janosch was one of
their main cleanup men.

Hm.

But why hasn't anybody
gone after him before?

They have... when he was a
Securitate, he was untouchable.

He's not Securitate anymore.

Janosch saw the revolution
in Romania coming years

before it happened.

He used his power to
loot bank accounts

and property of his victims.

Up to now, he's been able to
buy his safety and anonymity...

But failing that, he'll kill
anyone who gets in his way,

so keep that in mind.

We will.

Ah.

One more thing... how
sure are you that Janosch

is in this country?

99% sure.

Good.

Because if it was 100%,
I'd have to notify the FBI,

and I thought you might
want to have this case

a little longer
before they step in.

Yes, we would.

Thank you very much.

That's it.

MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER:
Only you have the power

to turn your life around.

You are the key to your future.

Only you can make it happen,
and real estate is the key

to your financial future.

What the hell are we gonna do?

Finish what Pa wanted done.

Come on.

Dammit, Lyle... how the
hell are we gonna do that?

Everything we have is
back at that trailer,

and the cops have
got that covered!

Now, come on...

I bet you they ain't
find everything.

What about the stuff that we
got buried 'neath the shed?

There's no way we go back there.

Now why not, huh?

The cops, they can't
sit on it forever.

And what if they do?

We can take care of them.

That's for damn sure.

I don't like it.

Boy, you got to
take risks if you want

to get anywhere in this world.

You are the key to your future...

but only you can make it happen.

Ah, she's not here.

If you're looking for Petra
Alexandru, she's gone.

Hm.

I'm Sergeant Hunter, LAPD.

This is Officer Molenski.

Who may I ask are you?
- I'm Etta Daniels.

I own this place.
- Hm.

Miss Alexandru
called this morning.

Said she wanted out of
her lease immediately.

She even left some of her stuff.
- You know where she went?

No, I don't.

Have no idea at all.

But you're welcome
to look around.

But look... I've got a very
weak soprano section waiting

for me at the church, so if you
just please lock up on your way

out.

Thanks very much, Etta.

Huh.

Well.

Looks like she did take
off in a hurry, didn't it?

OK, let's assume
she's with Janosch.

Next question...
What are they after?

Well, I have an
idea it has a lot

to do with the
$400,000 that flew off

the rooftop with Illia Brancus.

Which means Nikolai
Janosch isn't leaving

Los Angeles until he collects.

Yeah.

But where's it stashed?

What'd I tell you, man?

Not a cop in sight.

Well, let's go inside.

Don't kill me.

I won't give you no trouble.

Not if you want to stay alive.

What do you want, man?

Just tell me what
it is you want.

- The wallet.
- What?

Wallet?

The wallet you
stole from my brother

when you held up that diner.

That's it?

You killed my brother for that?

And your mother, and a cop.

You killed Ma?

Where is the wallet?

Duane's back pocket.

Get it.

You got what you wanted?

Hey, man... you don't
have to kill me.

I got something you want...

Tapes, man.

Real estate tapes!

Changed my life, man.

They'll change yours.

Here you go...

I got plenty more of them.

I'mma give them to you.

Sergeant Hunter.

Yeah, what you got?

Ballistics matched the
slugs in the Pinder brothers

to the ones taken from
Saccio and Dorothy Pinder.

Mm-hmm.

The lab just got
done with these.

Some of the ink rubbed
off enough to get

an impression off the leather.

This is what Janosch was after...

Some kind of code.

Yeah.

Looks more like bank
account numbers to me.

Would you fill this out, please?

Give me the box numbers, and
sign your name at the bottom.

Thank you.

Right this way, please.

Are the other two as heavy?

I believe so.

Would you like somebody to
help you carry them to a booth?

Yes.

6427, 226, 72, 78.

Yes.

I'd like to talk to
Miss Hadley, please.

Tell her Sergeant Hunter
from Los Angeles Police

Department's on the line.

Yes, I will.

Thank you.

How you doing?

They're checking branch numbers.

I might have a live one.

Oh, good.

Yes, Miss Hadley?

Yeah, this is
Sergeant Hunter, LAPD.

I'd like to run some numbers
by you to see if they

match any of your branch codes.

Thanks very much.

That's great.

A woman matching Petra
Alexander's description

signed her name as M. Janosch
at the Security Unified Bank

in the Valley.

She emptied two deposit boxes.

- Loaded with dough, no doubt.
- Mm-hmm.

You like that, huh?
- Yeah, I do like that.

OK, let's keep checking.

We don't know if it's the first
bank on the list they went to,

or the last.

Right.

That's all of it.

Satisfied?

When we get to
Mexico City, I will be.

He hit all five banks?

11 safety deposit boxes
in less than two hours.

We're gonna have to grab him
before he leaves the country.

A man fitting
Janosch's description

filed a flight plan at Van Nuys
Airport less than an hour ago.

Hunter.

Nice work on that Janosch case.

How much money was
on the airplane?

Yeah, thanks, Charlie.

Yeah... we got about
$6 million out of it.

Figure there's another 12
wrapped up in LA real estate

somewhere.

Oh, Janosch should have
gone into business with Pinder

instead of killing him.

Come on in a second here.

Can you excuse us a minute, and
just close that door for me?

Mm-hmm.

So, you getting moved in, huh?

Yep.

How do you like it, Charlie?

Like it just fine.

Sit down a second.

Listen... you know Tom
Bishop, don't you?

Tom Bishop?

Yeah, I heard of him.

Well, you know he just
got bumped up to Lieutenant.

Yeah?

Which means there's an open
Sergeant slot here at Metro.

Uh-huh?

I want you to take it.

Yeah... wait just a second.

You got a problem making a move?

No, no... I just never gave
it much thought, that's all.

Well, Hunter, you've been
in Homicide a long time.

And you think I need a
change of venue, right?

You know what Metro's like.

I know... I've been
there before, Charlie.

Then you know that
the action is here.

Yeah, I sure do.

So you got a problem
working for me again?

Oh, look... you know
that's not the case.

Then take the job!

Come on!

We have talked about
this a million times.

Things in life change.

Either we change with
them, or we get passed by.

I need you.

Molenski.

Hey.

How you doing, Sergeant?

Well, I was about to
ask you the same thing.

Well, I thought I'd be feeling
a whole lot better than I do.

Still doesn't
bring Michael back.

These things take
time, you know.

Ah.

By the way, uh...

Michael and I were a
lot more than, uh...

Listen.

You don't have to
explain to me one thing.

As far as I can tell, it never
got in the way of your work,

and that's what's important.

You're a damn good
police officer, Molenski.

Thanks.

I'll be seeing you
around, you know.

- How's that?
- Being transferred to Metro.

Well, that's great!

As of when?

As of right now.

What platoon?

C Platoon.

You don't think you'll have
any problems working with me,

do you?

No.

Why, what... do you
think we're gonna

have some kind of problem?

Well, let me just
tell you this...

Whenever we do work together,
just understand one thing.

I'll be driving.

Wait a minute, wait a minute!

We do have a problem here.

Yeah, maybe...

Yeah, it's a big problem.

I think this should
be negotiable.
