All language subtitles for Hunter S01E02 - Hard Contract

'Cause trancas has
taken all he's gonna take.

If anybody can pull off
this contract, it's Gus.

Gus is at the door,
and he's drunk.

What is she planning on doing,

having a shootout with
her mother's doctor?

I love this division.

More killings and shootings
down here than any other.

He was my partner. I owe him.

Partners don't
owe, they just do.

Let me buy you lunch.

You said they have great
egg salad sandwiches here.

They don't even have egg
salad in that machine, hunter.

Works for me.

If you're lookin' for a good
bust, go someplace else.

Don't do it, Gus.

Works for me.

Hello.

Man: Open this door, Marilyn.

Dee Dee, it's Marilyn.

Um, Gus is at the
door, and he's drunk.

Well, what do you
want me to do, Marilyn?

It's not even 5:30
in the morning.

I can't call the police, you
know. I can't call the police.

Not after what happened.

Ok, look, I'll be
there in 5 minutes.

You open this door, or
I'll take it off its hinges!

Now, Gus, just go away.
I'll talk to you later.

I'm not messin'
around here. I want in.

Let me in, damn it!

You open your mouth,
Marilyn, and I'll fill it with dirt.

I'm not kidding. I mean it.

How are things going, Gus?

Oh, this is great.

This is great, Marilyn,

if you called this bag of
puke over here to save you...

Come on, Gus, get out.

I put it on the air
coming over here.

In a couple of minutes, we'll
be up to our ears in blues.

That's right. That's
your story, isn't it?

You ratted me out once.

Why not keep up the pressure?

I'm not above much
these days, McCall.

Maybe I ought to
hang one on you.

Cut your losses, Gus.

Get out.

I'm sorry, Gus.

I was afraid.

Let it happen.
Let it all happen.

If it goes down,
ok, that's fine.

I'll take you both with me.

I'll take them all with me.

I don't care.

You didn't call them,
did you, Dee Dee?

I said no police.

No, I didn't call them.

I don't know what to do.

You know, I just
can't take this.

When I came in, I heard him say

that if you told anybody
what he told you, he'd kill you.

Look, Marilyn, what's going on?

I can't. I just... I just
want to get out of this.

If you don't tell me, I
can't help him or you.

What did this to him, Dee Dee?

What turned him into this?

Come in.

Terwilliger, how you doin'?

How am I doing, sir?

Well, sir, I'm doing
wonderfully.

I've been getting what
can only be described

as rather massive
breaks on all my cases,

and I've been putting
in a lot of overtime.

Uh, I'm on my own time, sir.

I've been clocking out first.

I've been working on
some special projects.

I recently read the
mayor's very moving speech

on cleaning up the city...

Graffiti, defacing,
and so forth.

And I'm trying to work up a
program to deal with that.

Once again, on my own time.

Saturday work and so forth.

Excuse me, Bernie, i'm
fascinated, of course.

I'm gonna have to
reassign you this morning.

Don't tell me, sir, that my, uh,

transfer to public
relations has come through.

McCall called in this morning.

She's gonna take
a week's sick leave.

I'm gonna sign
you up with hunter.

With hunter?

Very well, sir.

You know what this is, Bernie?

That is a, uh, small
spiral notebook.

No. It was a small
spiral notebook.

What it is now is a
deficient procedure

and malperformance log
on sergeant Rick hunter.

I want every one of his
departmental infractions in this book.

If he goes to buy a candy
bar without going code 7,

I want it in the book.

What you're
holding, terwilliger,

is the most important exhibit in
hunter's dismissal board hearing.

How you fill those pages

will determine the
success of that hearing.

Ok, Bernie?

Sir, I take this as a vote of
confidence in my performance.

Right now, hunter's in the coffee
room jamming jelly doughnuts in his face.

Have fun.

Yes, sir. Ha ha.
Thank... thank you, sir.

Bring me back a
flounder, Bernie.

Ha ha, yeah, yeah.

I'm countin' on you.

Have you signed in with
the watch commander yet?

Are you talking to me, Bernie?

Yes.

No, I sign in on the way
out like everybody else.

It is 8:05. That makes you
late for work, hunter.

I know, Bernie,
but I make up for it

with my style, zest,
nerve, and quality busts.

8:05 is 8:05.

8:00 sharp is 8:00 sharp.

Am I missing something
here, Bernie?

Are you working on
another brown bag special

to help get yourself
transferred to p.R.?

That's very funny.

Public relations serves
as a necessary link

between the practical
business of the street

and the public perception
of police business.

That's a real hellhole
over there, Bernie.

I hear they lost a
guy just last week.

Shot?

Bad shrimp.

We are going to be
partnered for a while,

so I think we can dispense
with the ho-hum humor.

It really doesn't
amuse me at all.

I'm partnered
with McCall, Bernie.

If you signed in with
the watch commander

as described in
departmental policy,

you'd be aware that sergeant
McCall is now on a week of sick leave.

Therefore, they have
assigned you to me.

Give me watch commander.

Hiya, skipper, this is hunter.

What's this about, uh,
McCall being on sick leave?

Well, did she say
what was wrong?

Oh, I know that. Thanks.

Since I am senior
in days on the job,

I will take the lead position

in our little team of two.

Did she say what was wrong?

I haven't a clue.

Maybe she got some bad shrimp.

Yes.

She's not answering her phone.

You were trying to
call sergeant McCall?

I was trying to, Bernie.

Isn't that using a department
phone for personal business?

She's my partner.

Correction. She is an officer

who is unassigned
and on sick leave.

Therefore, she is not
currently on active duty.

Your trying to phone her is in
violation of departmental phone regs.

Is this what I'm in
for today, Bernie?

I've always thought that a rule-conscious
officer makes fewer mistakes.

I've tried to run my
career along those lines.

Got it.

Just wait a minute.

Clear us, will you, sergeant?

This is l-56. Clear
and rolling, out.

Dispatch: L-56, Roger.

You are l-56. This
unit is my unit.

I'm the senior
officer here. I am l-28.

Clear l-28, if you please.

What are you doing, hunter?

This is Dee Dee's house.

She was filling out
yesterday's reports.

Now, you don't want us not to file
our police reports, do you, Bernie?

All right, but make
it quick, will you?

I'm Rick hunter.
Where's Dee Dee?

Um, I'm sorry. I don't know.

I'm her partner.

Oh...

Well, she went to visit
her mother in Portland.

I thought she was
sick. She took sick leave.

Oh, well, her mother is sick.

That's why she's in Portland.

I've seen you someplace before.

We've met, haven't we?

I'm Marilyn sangster. I'm
an old friend of Dee Dee's.

She's letting me stay here
while she's out of town.

Her mother, huh?

What? Where are you going?

What are you doing?

Just... get out of here.

She took her police issue .38

as well as a belly gun .25.

Now, what is she
planning on doing,

having a shootout with
her mother's doctor?

I can't tell. I promised.

If she calls in,
tell her I was here.

Have her call me.

I have a new unit
designation, l-28.

It's important, Marilyn.

I know we've met.

I don't think so.

Well?

She wasn't home. I
couldn't get the reports.

We're going to the park
across from the mayor's office.

Let's go, sergeant.

We're going where?

You'll see. It's a
special project of mine.

Bernie: See that graffiti
on that tree there,

over there on that monument,

and all the way across the park,

all over the mayor's office?

Graffiti everywhere you look.

Defaces everything.

You know what we're
going to do about it?

We're gonna find out who's
doing all this street art

and start handing down
citations, right, Bernie?

I can tell from the
tone of your voice,

you don't think this is
very important, do you?

Let me put it to you
more plainly, Bernie.

I think this is absurd.

I'm a homicide detective.

And what's with all
the writing in the book?

Why don't you take the
right-hand side of the park?

I'll take the left-hand side.

Talk to the people.
Get a description.

We'll catch these punks.

Crime doesn't pay.

Not in my city.

Let's move out, sergeant.

I don't believe I'm doing this.

Records and
identification. Officer Smith.

Hiya, smitty. This is hunter.

Run an ex-cop by the name of
Gus trancas for me, would you?

I think he was on duty here in
Los Angeles a couple of years ago.

Yeah, I think he went before a
shooting review board and got dismissed.

You want to hold? It'll just
take a minute to punch it up.

Yeah, I got a couple
of minutes coming.

Simon didn't say
you could do that.

Simon?

Meet Simon.

Simon says go directly to jail,

do not pass go,
do not collect $200.

I'll have one with mustard
and Sauerkraut, please.

Ok, hunter, I got him.

Well, you're right.

He got thrown off the force.

Killed a guy in an alley.

Now he claimed self-defense,

but they seemed to think
he planted a gun on the guy

after he shot him.

Was his wife's maiden
name Marilyn sangster?

Yeah, that's her.

Wait a minute. Here's
something funny.

You know who his
first partner was?

McCall?

That's right. The
old brass cupcake.

Yeah, what else you got?

He was a private
dick for 6 months,

and then he lost his license.

Any known associates?

Yeah, one.

A guy named Brian Carmichael.

Works as a bartender in a
dive over in the 77th division

known as the Irish Rose.

Trancas got involved in a
fight in there not too long ago.

Broke the place up pretty good.

Uh, this guy Carmichael,

he refused to file charges.

Ok, smitty, thanks.

Oh, send a black and
white over to the park

opposite the mayor's office

for a little bit of
clean-up, would you?

How'd you do, hunter?

Cookin', Bernie. Really cookin'.

Looks like this stuff
is being painted on

by a street gang
called the stilettos.

Ought to be a lot of fun
catching these punks, Bernie.

Dodging their switchblades

and prying spray
cans out of their hands.

It's not our job. Let the
blues roll on the bust

if we find out who's doing it.

Oh, yeah, I lost my head there
for a minute, Bernie. Sorry.

Let me buy you lunch.

It's been a hard morning.

I know a great restaurant.

Best food in Los Angeles.

A little place
called the Irish Rose.

Ok, hunter, thanks.

Hey, listen, what's
a partner for

if he can't buy lunch
every once in a while, huh?

Bernie: Boy, this, uh, this place is
really out of the way, isn't it, hunter?

Yeah, I know.
That's why I like it.

Treat you like a king
in this place, Bernie.

This isn't the
77th division, is it?

Yeah, toughest damn
division in Los Angeles.

I love this division.

More killings and shootings
down here than any other.

I wouldn't be surprised

if we end up dumping a couple
of hardballs during lunch.

We couldn't, uh, just go to
the universal grill, could we?

You're gonna love
this place, Bernie.

Best kitchen in Los Angeles.

Hey, look here, Bernie.

Maybe we can ask some questions
while we're having something to eat.

Bernie: There's no
kitchen here, hunter.

This is a bar.

Oh, see the sandwich
vending machine here, Bernie?

The best egg salad
sandwiches in Los Angeles

come out of that machine.

Hunter, what are you doing?

Talk about coincidences, Bernie.

I think that's my sick
partner Dee Dee McCall

over there at
the end of the bar.

We should be in the
valley working on my case.

Instead you bring me to this
slum capital of Los Angeles

to check on your crazy partner.

Hi, fellas.

Lookin' for a little fun?

McCall, I have no idea...

Your friend behind the
bar just went for the phone.

I'm sorry, but I think
we may have burned you.

I wasn't getting
anywhere anyway.

This might work out better.

What is going on?

Sorry, it's none of your
business. It's personal.

Marilyn trancas is
in your apartment.

Gus was your first partner,

and he used to hang out at this
bar with a guy named Carmichael.

Now, my guess is Carmichael
is the big, fat, ugly guy

behind the bar with
the sweat-stained t-shirt

and a bar rag hanging
over his shoulder.

I should've known better than to
try and slide one past you, hunter.

What are you two talking about?

Wait a minute. What
is going on here?

This whole bar is gonna turn
upside down in about 3 or 4 minutes.

Less.

I want to talk
to you... outside.

Maybe I don't want to go.

Leave us alone, we're...

You're goin'. Mister...

Get up. Come on. You,
too, over the table.

Come on.

Spread 'em.

Do me a favor,
would you, Bernie,

and read this stiff his
rights before he comes to?

Oh, lord, that smarts.

I can't see anything through it.

I can't see anything at all.

Here, Bernie, let
me take a look.

No, no, no, no. Don't
even come near me.

I was just trying to help.

You've done quite
enough already,

and it'll all be in
my report, all right?

What's that, Bernie, that
you and I went to lunch

and a couple of hardballers

tried to introduce baseball
bats to the backs of our heads?

You said we were
going to have lunch.

You said they had food here.

You said they had great
egg salad sandwiches here.

They don't even have egg
salad in that machine, hunter.

Oh, that must be the
bar on third street.

You're going to be up on the
carpet for this one, hunter.

Where is my logbook?

All I know is my partner
and I stopped for lunch.

You voluntarily entered the bar,

walked into the
middle of a 2-45,

and as a good police officer,

attempted to
apprehend the assailants.

That's what goes
in my report, Bernie,

along with the fact

that you attempted to flee
the scene of a crime in progress.

What?

And failed to
respond to the help

of a fellow officer in distress.

That is nonsense, hunter.

How did I get this
if I wasn't involved?

You got it trying to
duck out the door, Bernie.

I've taken all of this from
you two that I'm gonna take.

I'm going back to the
precinct house right now.

Let's go, mister,
let's go, move here.

Let's go.

Hunter...

I'd have a talk with
this guy at the bar

before Bernie comes back.

Gus trancas...

I'm looking for him.

We're all looking
for something, lady.

I don't know!

Come on, you guys
supposed to be cops?

You're supposed
to be a bartender.

But now you're
going to be a convict

for assaulting a police officer.

I didn't know. Honest.

Hey, look, Gus told me that there might
be some friends of his coming around,

the kind of friends you
don't want to know about.

Well, it couldn't
be us, could it?

I mean, Gus is just dying
to hear from us, right?

He made a phone call.
Where's the number?

Over by the telephone.

Bartender: It's no good, though.

It was disconnected
when I called.

Hey, listen, Gus gave me
that number a long time ago,

and I... I haven't heard
from him in a long time.

I'm playing aces up
with you, really, I am.

You give me a call
if Gus checks in.

Sure, sure, no sweat, no sweat.

Look, I had to do what I did.

Gus is a buddy of mine.

Hey, you'd do the same thing

if you had a friend
that was in trouble...

Wouldn't ya?

Hunter, will you
get off my back?

What I'm doing is personal.

I don't need you butting in.

Well, it looks like you
could've used someone

a few minutes ago.

I was doing fine
until you showed up.

You are not doing fine, and
Marilyn trancas is in your apartment,

and she's not
doing so hot, either.

I think you need help.

Now, I want to help you out
of whatever mess you're in

so I can get rid of Bernie.

Hunter, I need
space on this one.

I know you're looking
for Gus trancas.

I mean, what kind of
trouble is this guy in

that you want to keep so secret?

He told Marilyn
he took a contract.

A contract?

At least that was
the word he used.

It could mean anything,
but after he told her,

he practically beat her to death

to keep her from
repeating it to anybody.

I gotta go.

No, hold on. Go
home and wait for me.

I'll dump Bernie, and I'll
come back and pick you up.

Hunter, I didn't
ask for your help.

Well, you just don't
know how to ask for help.

Look who's talking.

Ow! Oh.

Bernie.

Bernie, are you ok?

Must've had friends
hiding in the shadows.

They jumped me all at once.

Shadows? Bernie,
it's broad daylight.

Come on, hunter, I'm wounded.

Caught me where I
was most vulnerable...

On my blind side.

Where have you
been all this time?

Leaving me out here with
2 dangerous prisoners.

Oh, yeah, you're right, Bernie.

I guess I should
have been out here.

After all, they were
only handcuffed, right?

The number was a phone
that he had in the room,

but the phone
company disconnected it

because of nonpayment
of bills 2 days ago.

I am really not in the
mood for this right now.

Well, you're the
one that thought

trancas might
recognize your car.

Where to now?

I'm dry on this.

I thought for sure
I'd get a line on Gus

out of the Irish Rose.

Ah, you'll think of something.

You've spent a lot
of time with this guy.

After all, you were
partners for years.

We were more than partners.

We were a real team, hunter.

I was fresh out of the academy.

Gus taught me so much.

He showed me the streets.

We made a pact. We were
gonna do it together.

Together we were
gonna make a difference.

Looking back, I guess we
never really did think alike.

After the shooting review
board washed Gus out...

I never wanted another partner.

I never wanted to get that close
to anybody I worked with again.

He's capable, isn't he?

I mean, he could take a
hit contract, couldn't he?

Yeah, I gotta get to him.

I gotta help him, hunter.

There's gotta be something
you're not clicking on.

You know, I mean, uh,

what about the cases
you had together,

uh, the little
things you pick up?

Oh, damn it, hunter!

The magastretti hit.

The bullet from Chicago
that took out east side Charlie?

Whenever a button man comes to
town or someone goes to ground,

procedure is a search of all
flophouses and apartments, right?

Right.

Well, the thing that
impressed both me and Gus

was that this guy who
hit east side Charlie

came to town and
rented an office.

I mean, you never think
of offices for lease.

How many of them are there
that never get checked?

You think?

Works for me.

Executive realty. This is Terri.

Hi, Terri. This is Gus trancas.

Gus trancas. Oh,
oh, yes, of course.

How do you do, Mr. Trancas?

Well, I really don't know.

I haven't received those
lease agreements yet.

Is there some problem?

Problem? Well, no.

I don't see how there
could be a problem.

You know, I could have
sworn that those leases

came back with the signatures.

Hold on just a
minute, and I'll check.

All right.

Why are we doing this, huh?
You want to tell me that?

You want to find Gus trancas?

Well, why don't we
just go down there,

flash our badges, and ask them?

Why don't we just
take out a billboard ad

and say, "hey,
Gus, the heat's on."

Mr. Trancas?

Yes?

Well, I don't understand.

I have those signed leases
right here in front of me.

Would you hold, please, till I
get my secretary on the line?

Thank you.

Come on.

Yes, hello. This is Annie.

Oh, hi, Annie.

Hi. Apparently I have lost
all the lease agreements.

You see, I was out of
the office last week,

and there was a temp in.

Tell me about it.

Oh, honey, I know, I know.

Now, let's see. It was
a studio city duplex.

Oh, no, this is for the
century city high-rise.

Uh, 21250 century
park east, suite 810.

Oh, well, there you go.

You see, I told him he was
going crazy over nothing.

I have those leases.

It's the studio city
duplex lease that's lost.

Well, that'll teach me
to go on vacation, huh?

Right. Bye-bye.

Well?

21250 century park east.

Made it.

Don't slam it.

I can't.

Hey, hey, hey,
loosen up, sergeant.

Why?

Well, you know why.

This is no way to go in
there and face this guy.

What are you talking about?

You know exactly
what I'm talking about.

Rein it in. Do the job.

You lead with your emotions,
and you won't be in control.

I am totally in control.

You don't like the way
I'm handling this case,

you can wait in the car.

Oh, I can't. The
door won't open.

Come on.

I don't believe it.

Trick or treat, Gus.

Peddle it next door.

That's a sucker bet, Gus.

Well, you did it again,
didn't you, honey?

Went and brought in the heat.

Hunter's just here as a friend.

Hers, not yours, meatball.

Hunter, please.

What the hell's going on,
Gus, huh? What are you doing?

What the hell do you care?

I do care! It cost
me a lot to find you.

I care a lot, and
so does Marilyn.

I got a lot of caring
from the two of you.

Up to here I got your caring.

If you're looking for a
good bust, go someplace else.

Don't do it, Gus.

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

and I don't need a
license for this thing.

What kind of hunting you
planning to do with this, Gus?

Take your friend and shove off.

Let me help you, Gus.

When I needed your
help, you weren't there.

When I needed you
to stand up for me,

you folded like
a bad poker hand.

I did what I had to do.

I couldn't lie, and you
wouldn't have wanted me to.

Aren't you living
in some fairy tale?

I was one of the best
damn cops on the force.

I was first in my class
out of the academy.

'Cause I was doing my job,
'cause I wasted some slob,

I end up chalking the
unemployment line.

Take this broad
and get outta here!

Gus, for god sakes, you
can't go through with this.

I know you, and you can't.

You never knew me.

And I never knew you, honey.

I told you to get out.

She doesn't want to hear, right?

She thinks you're gonna
talk to me man-to-man, maybe?

No, I'm gonna talk
to you cop-to-creep.

That lady out there gives a
damn about you. Why is beyond me.

But she's just trying
to flag you off the track

to keep you from
hitting the wall.

Come on. We're both
big boys, hunter.

We both know what's
going on out there.

You know what happened to me...

Exactly what always
happens to guys like me...

Like us.

Don't flatter yourself, pal.

You and I are nothing alike.

All I can tell you,
hunter, is watch out.

She'll do you like she did me.

She didn't send me
in here, trancas.

I'm not in here to save you.

I'm in here to let you know
this is a hard contract.

You're gonna feel my
breath right down your neck,

and when you look down,

my shadow's gonna
be blocking out yours.

And when you stop to look back,

I'm gonna steamroll
right over the top of you.

All that's gonna be left is
something for the dogs to lap up.

You don't breathe
heavy on me, and I fold.

Keep coming. I'm waiting.

Gus trancas has taken
all he's gonna take.

I'm gonna go down hard.

Works for me.

I want to know what
you said to him, hunter.

I told you it was nothing,
just a hello and a good-bye.

I forgot my cigarettes.

You don't smoke, hunter.

Oh, yeah? You should have
seen me a few minutes ago.

Hey, he's going for it.

Come here, come here.

Come on, come on!
You're losing him.

I'm already up to
warp speed as it is.

What do you want me to do?

Trancas always was
a hell of a driver.

I think he got away.

There's nothing here
to tell us anything.

He's cleaned out, and now
he's gonna crawl into a hole

and pull it in after him.

We found him once,
we'll find him again.

There's more than one
way back into this case.

If we can't find the shooter,
we'll work backwards...

Find out who he's after
and then head him off.

Gus wouldn't have had that phone
put in if he didn't want to call somebody.

I can't let him go
down like this, hunter.

He was my partner. I owe him.

Dee Dee, partners
don't owe, they just do.

Yeah?

Smitty: Got that info for you.

Hold on. Yeah, what do you got?

Hunter, only one number
was dialed from that phone...

555-3793.

Thanks.

Well, did they run it?

They didn't have to.

I know who this
number belongs to.

Who? Let's go find him.

If Gus called that
number for help,

we won't have to go find
anyone. They'll find me.

Wake up, hunter. You
got an appointment.

It's about time.

I fell asleep
waiting for you guys.

Look at this, will you?

Factory sealed? Does that
look like it's factory sealed?

It looked like it was
wrapped by my 2-year-old.

Now get the machine working
the way it's supposed to.

Good morning, Jilly.

Hey, Rick. I didn't know
you could get up this early.

Well, I usually
do sleep till 6 A.M.

Oh, you could have dressed.

Well, they could
have given me a chance.

"Indiana Jones and
the temple of doom"?

Oh, that's a hot one.

I got an order for more units
of that than I can push out.

Come on, keep it. It won't
be on tape for almost a year.

I don't have a recorder.

Hey, Vinnie, go get him
one of those new vcrs

out of the back.

A good one with the remote, huh?

I'd hate to think these
tapes are pirated.

I'd hate to think you're gonna get
your beak caught in the doorjamb.

You know why you're here?

Well, it's not to watch
videos and eat popcorn.

I was asked to talk to you.

Some people are
getting a little nervous

that you're gonna
mess up their plans.

Oh, then I must be
doing my job then, huh?

Oh, come on, Rick, smarten up.

The only reason why you didn't
wake up in the trunk of your car

is because Terry Franks
knows that we're cousins.

Since when are we involved
with the Franks family?

Well, they just don't
know how to figure you.

They don't know
how to approach you,

so they figured you
and I being first cousins

that maybe I could get
you to listen to reason.

What were you gonna
do, bully me, Jilly?

Hey, your dad told
me a long time ago

that you never
threaten to bully a guy

unless you're gonna back it up.

So I'm asking you as a friend,

will you leave this
alone and back off?

Now, that's a factory seal.

Dave endicott's
got to be the target.

Patrolman Dave endicott is
gonna testify against Terry Franks.

It would all make sense.

It would be a natural
to think that an ex-cop

could pull a hit on another cop.

And Gus knows procedure

for protecting and moving
a witness to the court.

Maybe he knows him.

Maybe he knows
his personal habits.

Hi. We need to see
captain Cain right away.

Oh, he's not in.

He'll probably be checking
in with me later today.

This can't wait
till later today.

Well, he's gonna be
at the courthouse

sometime this afternoon.

Courthouse? Does
this have anything to do

with officer endicott?

Captain Cain and
Bernie terwilliger

are in charge of
security on that case.

When are they
scheduled to be there?

They're probably at
the courthouse already.

Come on, let's go.

Let's hope Gus hasn't
made his move yet.

Mr. Endicott?

Officer endicott?

Excuse me, Mr. Endicott.

So?

They didn't get to him.

He's gotta come back
and testify tomorrow.

Cain's got about 10
officers working security.

12.

Look, thanks, hunter.

I know you've dodged a
lot of departmental flak.

Well, I've been on this
rugged graffiti thing.

It's been tough, but i'm
hanging in there for you.

Thanks.

There he goes.

You know, hunter, I
know this sounds strange,

but he's nearby. I can feel it.

You still think this guy's
pretty special, don't you?

If anybody can pull off
this contract, it's Gus.

Dee Dee, don't feel
responsible for this guy.

When Gus dropped that cold piece

in the alley that night,
he did it to himself.

I just wish I didn't have to be
the one to push the button.

Well, you're the
only one that could.

It was a hard contract.

Roger. He's on his way up.

Damn it, hunter, get outta here.

I tried to have dispatch
reach you, captain.

I got the call.

Obviously, terwilliger and I

can take care of any kind
of assassination attempt.

Assassination attempt?

McCall: Captain, I know trancas.

I can think like him.

Get off the premises,
the both of you!

You're not on this detail.

Sir, I can take care of sergeant
hunter and sergeant McCall

if I have to march them all the
way back to the precinct house.

Well, I think you've really
done it this time, hunter.

I'm kinda surprised to
see you here, Bernie.

You know there's not
one piece of graffiti

on this entire hotel?

I'll ignore that flip remark.

Where are they going?

The floor that
endicott is being held on

is blocked off by
10 security cops.

I think he'll be
safe for the night.

We don't need you
here. You can go home.

Let me buy you dinner, Dee Dee.

And I'll stay with you to make
sure you stay in the restaurant

and don't get in
the way, hunter.

This number...
He's in the hotel!

Hunter, there are no
13th floors in a hotel.

Gus was a master
with electronics.

It was his hobby.

Yeah, he rewired all
the elevator panels.

What are you two
sniveling about?

You add the 13th floor,

it throws the floor
count off by one floor.

Bernie, what floor are
they holding endicott on?

You got about as much chance
of being voted Rose queen

as you do of getting
that out of me, hunter.

Bernie!

15.

Ok, this elevator's
gonna stop on 16.

All the security police are
gathered on the floor below.

They'll walk right
into an ambush.

Hunter, are you saying...

Is there gonna be a
shootout, hunter?

Stop the elevator.

I got a better chance

of beating this thing to the top

if I run the stairs.

Stay with McCall, Bernie,
and get your piece out.

Man: Hold on, endicott.
We'll be there in a second.

Shoulda been here by now.

I've been hit!

Bernie!

What?

You're shooting our cops!

I was...

Out of my way, McCall.

You're under arrest, Gus.

Drop it.

You can't do it, McCall.

But I can.

You want to try me, Gus?

I'll blow your heart out.

Are you ok, McCall?

Damn it.

Damn it, Gus, why?

You sold me out.

You ratted, and now you gotta
live with what happens to me.

No way, man.

No way.

You gotta own this
one all by yourself.

How you doing, kid?

Just great.

How about a game of
one-legged football?

Hey, I'll punt.

I made it!

I made it to the public
relations division.

I have just been reassigned.

Congratulations, Bernie.

I guess all those
street artisans

can breathe a sigh of relief

knowing you're not
gonna be out there.

Right after we talk to my
cousin Jilly about pirated tapes,

remind me to call my broker

and let's order
spray paint stock.

That's very funny, hunter.

I think the captain's
report said it all.

I was the one that
stood up at that gunfight.

Cain has put me up for 2... I
repeat... 2 commendations.

Bernie, you shot
captain Cain in the back.

That has not been proved.

Anyway, that's not what
the official report says.

So you're a real
hero now, huh, Bernie?

A hero on the way
to public relations.

Be careful. Don't choke
on any Martini olives.

I'm gonna be so glad to get out
of this crazy shoot-'em-up division,

even though I am one
of the top shooters.

I have spent enough
time in the war zone.

That'll be good for Bernie.

Yeah.

You know, I was just
thinking about Gus.

There was a time
I looked up to him.

Hey, listen, hunter.

Want to make a hard contract?

With you? Anytime.

You don't let me slide.

I'll keep you straight, if
you do the same for me.

You won't slide.
You're too hardheaded.

Well, it can happen slowly.

Sometimes, maybe, you don't
even know it's happening.

Or it can happen
fast, like with Bernie.

Suck-fish to hero in
one shining moment,

and all he had to do
was trigger our captain.

Excuse me!

Uh, I have an
announcement to make.

I know that you're all concerned

that a fine officer like Bernie
terwilliger's being reassigned.

I don't blame you.

We have firsthand
proof that this officer

reacts with courage under fire.

Now, when this was brought to
the attention of the deputy chief,

he did the right thing.

I have a memo sent from
his office this morning.

Sir, I don't see why...

"Due to the gallantry
and heroism under fire,

"it is the view of this department
that it would be pure folly

"to remove this courageous
officer from his duties under fire.

"With this in mind, I have
reconsidered his assignment

"in public relations

"and put him in the highest
crime area of the city.

"I know all of us on
the job can feel better

"knowing that sergeant
terwilliger is out there

"standing shoulder to shoulder

with the other fine
officers of this division."

That a boy, Bernie.

Sir, I would really

much prefer that
job in public relations.

Bernie, congratulations.

Well, it seems there is a subtle
justice in life at play, after all.

Stop it, hunter. It
hurts when I laugh.
