All language subtitles for Hunter S06E01 On Air

-Tonight on hunter.

-That's the third time
this week you've called.

Is your lady still running
around with that other guy?

-He won't bother us again.

-Phil beaman was
murdered last night.

-Why would anyone
want to hurt him?

-Any man that Lyle
believes she's intimate with

could be a target.

-I'll be the new man in her life
and he'll come for me, Charlie.

We set out to get
this guy's attention.

Now we got it.

-So what do we do now?

-We turn up the heat.

-It was a great dinner, Phil.

-I know.

You're late.

-Sorry.

Hey, fly to San Francisco
with me on Sunday.

We'll spend the night.

-Let me think about it.

Call me.

Bye.

-Ok, Kate will be with you soon.

I hope.

How nice of you to join me.

Phil again?

Oh, hoh, this must
be serious, huh?

-There's only one
thing I'm serious about.

-Right.

Radio is your life.

And now your lady of
the night, Kate Lawson

with male call.

-Hi.

This is Kate.

Your Kate.

It's exactly 9:00 pm and
I'll be with you, only you,

until midnight on koxo
94.2 on your fm dial.

This is male call,
the only show in la

for you fellows out there who
have no one else to talk to.

The lights are low.

Ah, the mood is perfect.

Let's see, why don't we start
with Michael from Santa Monica.

Hi, Mike.

Mike's not my real name, Kate.

I'm afraid my
wife will find out I

called and I don't
want to hurt her.

-Well, maybe we shouldn't
be meeting like this.

Seriously, Kate.

I have a terrible problem.

-Oh, I'm sorry, Mike.

Let's talk about it.

Kate, my wife is
a clean fanatic.

She takes care of
the house to a fault.

Everything is spotless.

You could eat off
the kitchen floor.

When I smoke, she's
right there with a cloth,

cleaning out the ashtray.

When I drop a
newspaper on the floor,

she's right there to
pick it up and arrange

it neatly on the coffee table.

She's always vacuuming
and I can't watch TV.

It's driving me crazy.

-You love her, don't you?

Of course, I do,

but I want her to
relax a little and let

me be comfortable
in my own home.

-That's what
you've got to tell her.

If you want things
to change, you're

going to have to talk it out.

And you'll see,
it'll all work out.

Well, Kate, if you think so.

I'll give it a try.

Good night.

-It's exactly 9:57, three
minutes away from a station

break, but enough time
to squeeze in one brief call.

Lyle.

That's the third time
this week you've called.

Is your lady still running
around with that other guy?

No, not any more, Kate.

Oh, that's good news.

So you took my advice
and had it out with her?

Well, uh, I had it out with him.

-You didn't do
anything foolish, I hope.

No, no, no.

I did the right thing, Kate.

He won't bother us again.

-Well, glad it all worked out.

Thanks for calling.

It's 10:00 pm.

And we'll pause for station
break and be right back.

-That guy is weird.

If he ever calls
again, don't log him in.

-Hey, shorty.

How you been, buddy?

-Has he left yet?

Just a second.

-No, it's not that, Irma.

I just need some sort of eta.

Yeah, I'll hold.

-Thank you.

That's great.

There's a reward
for you in heaven.

I'm going to need that
information right away, ok?

So I'll wait for it.

-How you doing?

-Well the victim's
name is Phil beaman,

some kind of an
advertising executive.

Neighbor said he
was a real nice guy.

-Yeah, well, someone
didn't think so.

Did you fine the murder weapon?

-No.

But I might have found
something more interesting.

I have to have
forensics check it out,

but I think I might have found
powder traces on that phone.

You mean the killer shoots a
guy at close range with a shot gun

and then sits down at this
table and uses his telephone?

-Yeah.

Maybe.

I checked with the
telephone company.

They said that the last call
that was made from this line

was made at exactly 9:57.

-Who did he call?

-This you're not
going to believe.

-Oh, Lou, would you get my
demonstration tape ready?

I've got to get it
to my agent later.

Ha, ha. It's done.

Your agent's going to love it.

-Sergeants McCall
and hunter are here.

-Oh, right. Send them in.

-Hi.

-Hi.

Sergeant McCall.

-Sergeant hunter.

-And this is my engineer, Lou.

-Lou.

-How you doing?

I'll just talk to
you later, Kate.

-Could you, uh, stick around?

-Yeah, sure.

-Appreciate it, thanks.

-Ah, what's this about?

-We're investigating a homicide.

A Mr. Phil beaman
was murdered last night.

-Phil?

Dead?

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

-You knew him?

-We dated for a few weeks.

He dropped me off at
the station after dinner.

Why would anyone
want to hurt him?

-We've confirmed
that the killer called

your show from
Mr. Beaman's home.

The phone company said that
he connected exactly at 9:57.

Do you remember who you
were talking to at that time?

-Kate, I think
that's about the time

that you were talking with Lyle.

-Who's Lyle?

He's the guy who's
been calling pretty

regularly for a few weeks.

He's a little strange but...

-Can you recall to
talk to Lyle about?

-Well, you can
hear for yourself.

We tape all our calls.

-Lyle.

It's the third time
this week you called.

Is your lady still running
around with that other guy?

No, not any more, Kate.

-Well, that's good news.

So you took my advice
and had it out with her?

Well, uh, I had it out with him.

-You didn't do
anything foolish, I hope.

No, no.

No.

I did the right thing, Kate.

He won't bother us again.

-Well, glad it all worked out.

Thanks for calling.

-Can I listen to the
tapes of his earlier calls?

-I've got to dig them
out of the library.

-All right, let's go do
that right now, ok?

-How are you doing, miss Lawson?

-Uh, you know, I admit,
he may be a little bent,

but why would he killed Phil?

-Oh, jealousy perhaps.

-How do you figure that?

-Well, you heard
the tape yourself.

He said, I did the right thing.

He won't bother us again.

I think us means you and him.

What are you, a copy with an
advanced degree in psychology?

-No, I don't
pretend to be, that's

why we'll have the
police psychologists listen

to these tapes.

-Yeah and they'll conclude
that it was my fault.

-I didn't say that.

-No, well, I have a feeling
that's what you're thinking.

Look, sergeant, I run
a damn good show,

one that I am proud of.

But it is nothing
but entertainment.

My fans know that.

None of them would
take it seriously.

-I think Lyle might have.

-Good morning.

-What if the police are right?

And my show sparked
a lunatic out there.

-Oh, take it easy.

Just because some cop
says so, doesn't make it true.

-Poor Phil.

-You knew the
guy a couple weeks.

He might have had enemies.

-I'm worried, Marty.

-Oh, now, you've got to
get yourself in control here.

Your show is
starting to take off.

The ratings are going up.

Sponsors are falling into place.

Now, you've got that little
demonstration tape I wanted?

-Yeah.

-I know just the sponsor
who's going to love this.

Katy.

You've got to relax.

This is going to blow over.

You can trust me.

I'm more than your agent.

I am your friend.

Now, I've got a lot of clients
out there, but you are special.

And that's why I
love you the most.

Now, I've got to go.

I'll talk to you later, huh?

-Bye.

-Yeah, come in.

-Mr. Brill.

-Ah, sergeant hunter.

-Nice to meet you.

-Hi.

-This is Julie henley, our
director of public affairs.

-Miss henley, how are you?

-Fine, how are you?

Nice to meet you.

-I got to be honest with you.

I have run radio
stations for 15 years.

And I've seen everything.

This is a little
hard to believe.

It is.

I know.

I understand that.

Isn't Kate Lawson
supposed to be here?

-She'll be here.

Oh, well, you've uh, both
listened to the tapes, right?

-Yeah.

And we'll do everything
we can to help you.

-Good.

-Ray, I'm sorry I'm late.

I had lunch with my agent.

-Miss Lawson.

-Hi.

Please.

Go ahead.

-Ok.

We're going to set up a
technician here at the station

to monitor all the
phone calls that

come in to your radio show.

-Well, I presume
if this man calls,

you're going to trace it.

-That's the idea.

Now, miss Lawson, if
we're lucking enough

to get this guy on
the air, you think

you can hold him
on the line and...

-Kate is a pro.

She'll do fine.

-How do we handle the media?

-Well, we don't.

This is police business.

-Hold on a second.

We have a news
organization here.

This is our story.

-This is a murder investigation.

If the press gets
hold of this, we'll

have absolutely no
chance of catching our killer.

-Well, if he is the killer.

-Ray, this could
be a major story.

-Yes.

And when it's
resolved, we'll cover it.

Sergeant hunter's right.

This is police business.

-Hunter.

-Excuse me.

Yeah.

-Dr. Pike listened to the tapes.

He feels that Kate Lawson
can definitely establish

a sense of intimacy
with her listeners.

Now, in this case
maybe Lyle feels

that he's the only one
that she's talking to.

Now here's the clincher.

The doctor says that any
man that Lyle believes she's

intimate with could be a target.

-Really.

Good work.

Thank you.

Miss Lawson.

Did you say you had lunch
with your agent this afternoon?

-Uh, huh.

That's right.

-Do you have a phone number
I might be able to call him?

Uh, well he works
out of his house.

It's um 555-4421.

-Why?

-Oh, it's probably nothing.

I'm just uh, checking
on something.

-Miss Lawson.

-Not not, please.

-Look, I'm afraid it's
going to have to be now.

-All right.

You were right and I was wrong.

But two men that I
cared for are dead.

And it's because of me.

Do you have any idea
how that makes me feel?

-Look, I can imagine how must
make you feel, miss Lawson.

But, believe me, you're not
responsible for their deaths.

-Well, that's easy
for you to say.

But it is my talking on the air
that caused these men to die.

-Ok.

Then let's do
something about it.

-Harv, what you're really saying
is that your wife has changed.

She was so independent

when I first met her.

Now she just things around
watches the plants grow.

It's killing me.

Have you tried getting
professional help?

She won't hear of it.

-Then you have to sit her
down and have a heart to heart.

I'll bet if you try, you can
be a pretty persuasive guy.

Yea, caller.

What is your first name?

Where you calling from?

-George from Pasadena.

Serious weight problem.

-How we doing?

-Well we've got uh traces
on all the incoming lines

and if he calls, and
if miss Lawson can

keep him on the
line, we'll get him.

Not the girl

I married and I want
her to be that girl.

That's what you've
got to tell her.

Just like that?

Kate Lawson on
the phone: First you've

got to make sure she knows
how much you love her.

Then let her know
how much you love

the strong, independent girl
she was when you married her.

You think she'll understand?

I think all she needs

is for a strong...

-Ok.

Ok.

I'm sorry I'm late.

If the boss chews us out
you can blame it on me.

-Hey man, I didn't
want to do this anyway.

But thanks for being there

when I need you.

Goodbye.

Kate Lawson on the
phone: That was Harvey,

who, if he's
persistent, will win

back the girl of his dreams.

This is...

-Don't you ever get
tired of listening to her?

-I love her.

-Boy, I could use some of that.

-Black?

-Yeah.

-Coming up.

Oh, I'm not exactly burning
up the airwaves tonight, am I?

-You're doing fine, miss Lawson,
just keep up the good work.

-It's Kate.

And I owe you an apology.

-How's that?

-Well for doubting
that Lyle killed

Phil and my agent, Marty.

It's called denial.

I kept thinking that
it would go away.

Can you understand that?

-Sure.

Forget it.

-Kate.

You ok?

-Yeah, I'm hanging in there.

You know sergeant hunter?

-Sure.

Kate.

Your story could go
national in a minute.

-But it's not going to
go national in a minute,

is it Kate?

And I think you
ought to be concerned

less with your ratings.

-I resent that.

-Julie, just drop it.

I mean, if the sergeant
says no press, then that's it.

Ok?

-Anything you say, Kate.

-I appreciate very
much your help with that.

-Yeah.

Well, I, I gotta get back on.

-Yeah, caller, what's your name?

Where you calling from?

-Hold on a second
there uh, Lyle.

Ok, just be patient, Lyle.

Soon as we come out of
the news, I'll put you on, ok?

-He's calling from silver lake.

-Put him on hold
as long as you can.

Just be natural.

Good luck.

Ralph.

-I'm working it.

The news is wrapping.

Want me to put
somebody else on now.

-No, no, no.

Just wait.

That about wraps it up

for the news
headlines this hour.

-The news is almost up.

-Put him through.

Go ahead.

And now it's back

to our lady of the night,
Kate Lawson and male call.

-Hi.

This is Kate.

And we're back with
you for another full hour.

And our first caller is Lyle.

Hi, Kate.

-You sound awfully
chipper, Lyle.

I guess everything's ok
with you and your girlfriend.

Well, there was some creep who

hit on her today,
but I took care of it.

You still there, Kate?

-Uh, of course I am, Lyle.

You know, you never told
me very much about you lady.

What's she like?

Well, she's everything,

beautiful, intelligent, honest.

-I've got it.

She sounds really special.

-Jackie service, 6 6
30 armacost court.

You love her that much?

You know I do.

Kate Lawson on the
phone: You know, Lyle.

I don't even know her name.

Quit kidding me,
Kate, of course you do.

Kate Lawson on
the phone: No I don't.

I have to go back to work now.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Tomorrow's my day off.

It doesn't matter.

-Damn it!

You have been listening

to our lady of the night,
Kate Lawson and male call.

-I'm sorry.

I just blew it.

-No, no, no you
didn't. We got the trace.

-Yeah?

-You did a great job.

Our people should
be there by now.

-What took you so long?

-Called a friend.

-Listen, you should
have ordered a pizza.

While you were at it.

-I think we're right on this.

If Lyle connected
with that garage,

he's probably working
for oceanside telephone.

-Oh, boy, that's like looking
for a needle in a haystack.

-500 needles, to be exact.

Here's a list of all the
people who work in the area.

-Shees marees.

You're going to have
to go to the academy

and get some recruits to
help you canvass this stuff.

-Yeah right,
Charlie, but I think

what we really need is uh, bait.

-I don't like sound of that.

-Well, look, Charlie.

Lyle is going to kill any
man Kate Lawson is with,

isn't that right?

So that's exactly
where you put me.

I'll be the new man in her life.

He'll come for me, Charlie.

-But that's dangerous.

-Look, I think sergeant
McCall can handle this list,

don't you?

Besides, you have
to assign someone

protect her anyway, right?

-And it might as
well be you, right?

I'm only kidding.

Lighten up.

Captain, I happen
to think he's right.

-Yeah, see, there you go.

-I know.

I still don't like it.

All right.

But you're going to
need a lot of backup.

-Absolutely.

But very low profile and
only while I'm at Kate's house.

I don't want to blow this deal.

All right.

All right.

-Great.

Thanks, Charlie.

-I was sort of curious.

Have you discussed this
plan with Kate Lawson yet?

-Yes, McCall, I've discussed
it with Kate Lawson.

-See, that's one thing
I've always liked about you.

You're such a fast mover.

-Why don't you go home?

-I will.

Right after I call
Kevin costner.

He might meet someone as bait.

-Ooh.

Kevin costner, what a wimp.

Great.

Kate, we sure appreciate
you helping us on this case.

-Well, I think you'll
change your mind

after a night on this sofa.

Hunter, I think
you should, I think

you should sleep
upstairs in the bedroom.

I mean, I mean I
think I should, I should,

I should sleep here on the sofa.

-I knew that.

-You know, this is insane.

Two people have been killed
and you're here to bait a murderer.

And I can't make a bed.

And I'm laughing.

-Well, that's one way
of handling the situation,

isn't it?

Laughing?

-Yeah, yeah, I guess it is.

So uh, what do we do tomorrow?

-Well, we go out and have
ourselves a real good time

and hope that Lyle is watching.

-Yeah, well, you
think we can do that?

-I'm very optimistic
we can do that.

-You're pretty
funny, you know that?

-Why?

Well, we come to a real
nice fancy restaurant,

and you order a hamburger.

-I'm, uh, I'm a
junk food fanatic.

In my business a hamburger
is considered a staple.

-Fast food Lane, huh?

-Yeah.

I had a great day today.

-I did, too.

Thank you.

-Thank you.

I mean, I haven't had so
much fun in a long time.

-Uh, huh.

-And with a cop, no less.

-Well, you know,
cops are people too.

-Yeah, I found that out.

-You know, this morning we
were walking along the beach there,

you started to tell me
about Phil beaman.

-Phil was a sweet guy.

I think he knew that it was
never going to be serious.

I mean, he was the
kind of man who uh,

who would have
tried to change me.

Because he wanted
a real relationship.

-And you don't.

Oh, I'd love one, one day.

But not now.

It's just not in the cards.

I mean, my career most
important thing to me right now.

Isn't yours?

-Yeah, but I don't
rule out relationships.

-Well, I don't either.

It's just that, I
mean, there are just

certain things
that I've got to do.

I mean, I've spent
10 years of my life

working my way into la radio.

I mean, did you know that I
was rockin' morgana in Seattle?

And uh, cajun Sally,
the bayou blues queen

from a little town
outside of New Orleans.

And none other than candy
Smith from butte, Montana.

-Candy Smith.

Give me a break.

-Well,

-so uh, who are you now?

-I'm Kate Lawson.

And I am working at the biggest
radio market in the country.

With the chance
of going all the way.

At least I thought so until now.

-Now wait just a second, Kate.

I told you everything is
going to work out just fine.

Believe me.

Trust in me with that, ok?

-Yeah.

-Besides, if things
do hit the fan,

you could always go
back to butte, Montana.

Just don't use your real name.

Let's get out of here.

Let's um, do this right, huh?

-Well, let's do this
even better than right.

-Oh, all right.

I got it.

-Ok.

-Kate.

Kate.

Kate.

-Good morning.

Damn it.

-Hey.

Hi,

where the hell have you been?

-I went for a run.

-You went for a run?

I told you, if you go
anywhere, you go with me.

-Relax.

You said yourself that
I'm not the one in danger.

You are.

-Yeah.

Well, uh, don't do it again.

Ok?

What was this guy looking at?

I, I don't know.

That's what was so strange.

I mean, there he was.

Oh, I'll get it.

-Wait a minute.

Don't touch that.

You're not supposed to be
receiving phone calls here.

-Will you relax?

I mean, I still have a
few friends in this town.

-I know that.

Come here. Hold on to that.

I'll get it.

Hello.

Hello?

Hello.

-Oh, my god.

It's him, isn't it?

My phone is unlisted.

How did he get my number?

-Now just relax.

-No.

I don't want to play
this game any more.

No.

-Come here.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Don't cave in on me now.

We set out to get
this guy's attention.

Now we got it.

Look at me.

It's working, huh?

It's working.

-Ok.

So what do we do now?

-Oh, hell, we turn up the heat.

-So, what kind of woman
are you looking for, Steve?

Somebody special.

She'd have to be beautiful,
have a really nice personality,

you know, I'd kind of
hope she'd be just like you.

-If that's a proposal,
uh, I'm afraid I've

got some bad news for you.

I'm sort of spoken for.

-That figures.

Just my luck.

Well, I hope this
jerk is worthy of you.

-Well, uh, we're just in the
getting acquainted stage,

but uh, I can't complain.

-I bet he's not as
good looking as I am.

-Oh, I don't know.

He's uh, pretty cute.

-She write this
script, or did you?

-Well, that's enough
about me, Steve,

male call is for you
fellows out there.

But I'll tell you this, if my
fellow and I ever break up,

why don't you give
me a call and maybe we

could work something out.

That was Steve.

This is Kate and I'll be
right back after a commercial.

-How did I do?

-Captain devane, you
can call me any time.

-That's from a professional.

-I don't know.

Was I subtle enough?

-I'd go out with you.

-Male call.

What's your first name?

Where are you calling from?

Uh, hang on, Lyle.

We've got a lot
of calls waiting.

-Don't put him through.

-Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

We've got a trace going here.

-Charlie, the traces
aren't going to work.

Let's mix him up a little bit.

Irritate him.

Maybe he'll come after me.

-Look, look.

Maybe this this,
date idea wasn't

such a good one after all.

-Charlie, it is a good idea.

Look, we don't have
any other choice, do we?

-All right, go ahead.

-Great.

-Look, Lyle, I'm afraid Kate has
too many calls waiting tonight.

Um, why don't you try
back in a couple of days.

Male call.

What's your first...

-Let me talk to her.

Look, I don't care
who's waiting.

If she knew was me on the
line, she'd want to talk to me.

-Uh, please, Lyle, uh,
some of the other guys

deserve a chance
to talk to Kate, huh?

I'll try and fit you
in tomorrow night.

-Well, hunter, it
may be me that needs

police protection tonight.

-Good job, Lou.

-Yeah.

-Well done.

Charlie, I think it's
time I took a little drive.

-Be careful.

-Yes.

-Come on, Charlie.

-Devane.

-Hey, Charlie.

Hunter.

Look, I've been driving around
here for the last three hours.

This Lyle character's had
plenty of opportunity to hit me.

-Well, it was
worth a try anyway.

We're still canvassing these
phone company records.

So, uh, you go home.

Get some rest.

-Yeah.

I'm going to be at Kate's.

I'll call you in the A.M.

-Yeah, all right.

-Easy on the glass, man.

You might break it.

-Give me two cheese
burgers with the works.

-Hey!

You all right?

-Yeah.

-Yes?

Who is it?

-It's me.

Well, I ran into good old Lyle
at the hamburger stand tonight.

-Are you all right?

-Yeah.

I'm all right.

Two cheeseburgers
with the works.

Two French fries.

-You didn't.

-I did.

-Mm.

You idiot.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

-Your uh, coffee and newspapers.

-That's so sweet.

Bananas, apples, orange juice.

You know, I could
get really used to this.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-I hope so.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

-Kate.

-Yeah?

-Come here.

How about that?

-Come, give us a break.

-Hey, hold it.

Would you please?

I'll answer all your questions.

But one at a time.

-The police refused to comment.

Do you have any idea
how close they are to...

-Excuse me.

What the hell does
that mean, huh?

-Hunter, do you care
to comment on that?

-No, I don't want
to comment on that.

You guys get out of here.

Come on get out.

Out, out, out.

I have no comment
on any of this stuff.

No, you can't, honey.

Out.

No.

Absolutely not.

Thanks for coming.

Now, let me tell you something.

-Sergeant hunter, I realize
that you might be upset.

-You realize that
I might be upset!

You know, you two
programming geniuses

have blown the whole deal.

There's no way we're
going to catch this guy now.

-Oh, come on now, sergeant.

-Oh, boy, you're stupid.

Want to go to jail?

-Now wait a minute.

-Hey, enough, Julie.

Enough.

Look, I am truly
sorry about this.

-You're sorry.

-And you're right.

She had no right to
make such a decision.

Julie, you're fired.

-You can't do that.

-I'm afraid it's done.

-You bastard.

-You know what
obstruction of justice is, brill?

-Look, it's my fault.

-Yeah.

Take your best shot.

-Forget it.

-Look, I'm going to be
around in the building.

If you want to talk later.

If there's anything I can do.

-Uh, huh.

-All right?

-Rick, i'm, i'm
sorry about all this.

What a mess.

Well, what do we do now?

-How come you're
not down at the station?

-Because I've got to figure
out where we are with this case

by the time I pick
her up tonight.

-How's she doing?

-Oh, she's anxious.

I mean, everybody's
going to be calling that radio

station wanting
to talk about Lyle.

She'll probably have
the highest ratings

in the history of
la radio tonight.

-Not her fault.

-Oh, look, I know that.

-Kind of like her, don't you?

-I like her, and i'm
really concerned for her.

-Hey, hunter, McCall, come here.

I can't believe it.

I've been asking myself...

-Listen to this.

How could you do this to me?

Kate Lawson on
the phone: I don't

know what you're talking about.

I didn't do anything to you.

-Yes, you did.

What do you want, Lyle?

-I just want everybody out
there to know what you really are.

You don't know how to love.

Nobody could feel
about you the way I did.

But you betrayed me every time.

-Why is that, Lyle?

-Don't call me Lyle.

My name is Gilbert.

Gilbert zacker.

And I know the cops
have been looking

for me at the telephone company.

-Gilbert zacker.

Where's that telephone
company employee list?

I can tell you, nobody's
going to find me.

-I bet you want to
kill me next, right?

-That'd be too easy.

-What do you mean

-it means, i'm
going to kill myself.

You'll have to live with that.

It.

Will be your fault.

-You don't really mean that.

-Doesn't matter now.

-There's a zacker we
haven't checked out yet

at 11023 Fillmore
Avenue, north Hollywood.

-Let's get the hell out of here.

-This is Kate and we'll be
right back after a commercial.

-It's about time.

I don't want to be
late for work again.

-You thinking what I'm thinking?

-Yeah, I am, Charlie.

-This is no suicide.

If this guy kills himself,
he's got gunshot residue

all over his hands
and he doesn't.

I'll be anything
that's not Lyle.

-Better tell Kate about this.

-Oh, gee. Yeah, you're right.

She should be on
her way home by now.

Can you handle this?
- Sure, sure.

-Thanks.

-Hello?

Kate?

Where are you?

Kate.

-Good evening, sergeant hunter.

-Well, hello, Lyle.

Or should I call you Gilbert?

-Doesn't matter.

I knew you'd come for her.

-Kate, you all right?

-Say something to the sergeant.

-Rick, he's got a gun.

-Now, Lyle, I want you to put
the gun down and let her go.

You're under arrest.

-She can't love.

If she can't love me,
she ain't loving anybody.

She has to die.

-You all right?

Come here, huh?

-Yeah, it's all over with now.

Come on.

It's all over with.

-Oh, god.

-Homicide, hunter.

-Hi.

It's me.

-Hey.

How are you?

-Uh, I thought you
were coming over.

-Well, yeah, I will. Uh,
but you see, some of us

have to do more than
just talk for a living.

How about a late dinner tonight?

-Great.

-Good, I'll pick you up then.

-Hunter.

-Take a hike, Martin.

-Oh, come on now.

Come on, Kate Lawson has
turned into a major celebrity.

I cannot do a followup story
without a comment from you.

-Martin, I have absolutely
nothing to say to you, ok?

-Would you be reasonable?

Kate and Julie henley already
gave me the information.

All I need is a quote.

-Martin, Julian henley
was fired last week.

-Wrong.

I talked with her
this afternoon.

This is Kate
Lawson for male call.

-Lou.

Kate Lawson on the
phone: This is koxo 94.2-

-put a couple of commercials
on there for me, will you?

-What's going on?

-Would you do it for me?

-Yeah.

-Give me some
privacy too, would you?

Thank you.

-I thought you had work to do.

-Julie henley still
works here, doesn't she?

And don't lie to me,
Kate, I checked it out.

-Yeah, ray brill
brought her back.

-The truth of the matter
is she was never fired.

You, she, and brill
concocted her firing

to get the story
out, isn't that right?

-All right.

It was Ray's idea.

-It was not Ray's idea.

I talked to ray.

It was your idea.

-Don't you think
you're overreacting?

-You lied to me.

-I'm sorry about that.

-You're sorry?

-Yes.

-Doesn't it phase
you in the least

that an innocent man is dead
because you leaked the story?

-I didn't know it was
going to happen, Rick.

Come on, be reasonable.

What happened is over.

I thought we had a
nice relationship going.

-A relationship?

My god, you don't even
know what a relationship is.

You sit here in this
little divided cubicle,

passing judgment on the world.

You know, Lyle was a sick man.

He had an excuse.

But you don't.

You don't.

He was right about you.

You don't know how to love.

-What the hell do
you know about it?

Don't talk to me about love.

Haven't you heard?

I'm the reigning
expert on the subject.

I spend six nights a week
hearing all about it, from men

not unlike you.

And I have heard it all.

And you know, one
way or another, you men

are all the same.

Nothing but the walking
wounded, with nothing

better to do with your
time than to, than to call me

and spill your guts about,
about your stupid and petty little

lies.

And I sit here and I listen to
their drivel about their macho

and their marriages, and
their stupid pathetic little affairs.

And it is all justified
in the name of love.

Pretty pathetic stuff.

But I take it in.

And I make them feel
better about themselves.

Because I'm good at it.

Because I get paid to.

And I'm going to get paid
even more when this is over.

So why don't you
just take a hike.

-Ah, Kate.

What the hell happened?

-I think your latest star just
took a big dip in the ratings.
