Hunter: Return to Justice

Hey, amigo.

I'm headed up Alvarado.

I'm passing six.

And you wonder why I call you jumpy.

I can't sit still in this hood, Hunter.

You're spotted as a foreign object. You're kicking back having your latte,

I'm out here among the natives with my butt hanging out.

Orale.

Lattes? Hey, jumpy.

Don't let anybody out there hear you say that. You'll get your butt capped this

year. Tonight I'm going to tell Maria how you rode my hide like Zorro.

Damn, it's hot out here.

Really?

I got the air conditioner on in here.

You got a mean streak in you, Hunter. You hear that?

Got our boy.

He's heading toward La Doña.

Good on the spot.

He's wearing a blue jacket, jeans, pair of high -top Jordans.

No doubt dressed for action.

Let me know when you get into position, jumping. Be careful.

This is Tony's third bounce.

You got it.

We can handle this, Gandaloon.

Get to Starbucks before noon rush.

Hunter, I can't get any closer.

I gotta wait till he comes outside.

Alright.

Make sure he's got the dope, otherwise we'll wait for six weeks.

I know, buddy, I know.

He's on the move.

He's got it under his jacket.

He's got it.

I'm with him.

No, no, jump. Let me call backup first. No time for backup. He's got it.

Let's go. Chuck.

Chuck.

LAPD! This is L -22.

Request backup at Alvarado between 7th and 8th.

Suspect presumed armed and dangerous.

I'll point you out.

Ethan Alvarado.

Hey, what's up, bro?

Who do you think you're chasing, Holmes?

I'm a police officer, and shooting you is just one more thing I'm going to have

to do today.

So beat it.

I'm a Los Angeles police officer You are under

arrest

After we ascertained that the drugs had been purchased, I ordered Detective

Lopez to follow Tony Velez.

From the records, we see you did radio for backup.

Yes, I did.

And you feel Detective Lopez followed your orders?

Yes. The report also states Detective Lopez went off wire.

When did this happen?

After I called him for backup.

Detective Lopez was not wearing a vest. Did you know that?

We were undercover.

That was his choice.

And Detective Lopez was your partner for the last four and a half years? Yes, he

was. Were you aware that both of the victims were illegal aliens?

Yes. They had both been deported three times.

Lieutenant Hunter, you've been involved in seven shootings in the past three

years.

Did the nationality or background of the suspects you felt were a threat

influence your judgment?

My judgment was influenced by the weapons in their hands.

and having witnessed the shooting death of my partner.

So you feel the death of Detective Lopez lies fully with the suspects Antonio

Velez and Ramon Avila.

I was the officer in command.

Detective Lopez was killed on my watch. I take full responsibility for his

death.

Lieutenant Hunter, you are temporarily relieved of active duty.

pending the findings of this review board.

Chuck Lopez made a mistake and got himself killed. Just don't let this eat

up inside.

Just a second.

What do you mean?

Let what eat me up inside?

That no one seems outraged anymore?

That the cry for decency in this stinking town is dead? And people like

like me, are the criminals in officer -involved shootings? You've been through

it before.

You know how it is, Rick. Oh, I know how it is. I also know how it used to be.

with us. Our final destination will be San Diego, California.

We're now leaving Carlsbad.

Next stop, Mono Beach.

Lieutenant Hunter, you are temporarily relieved of active duty pending the

filing of the review board.

Welcome to San Diego's Union Station.

Thank you for using Antonin.

Hello. Hey, this is your wake -up call.

Welcome to San Diego. It's 82 degrees and sunny.

Who is this?

You know who this is.

What are you doing? Get over here.

What am I doing? Let's see.

Having my back whacked.

What do you think I'm doing? I'm getting dressed.

Well, hurry up and get your pants on, will you?

It's going to be a great day, and I can't wait to see you.

I can't wait for you to meet my fiancé.

Oh. Well, tell him not to worry. I'm bringing the potato salad and the forks.

Listen, do you have directions? Do you know how to get here?

Directions? Thought you were sending me a limousine.

Can't you people afford a limousine? What kind of engagement party is this,

anyway? Neither Roger nor I will be offended if you show up in a cab.

So just get your butt in one and get over here.

All right. I'll see you soon.

Mr. Keyes, would you be so kind?

All right, everybody, it's that time. Can I get your attention, please?

Bobby, Tom, come on. Get up here.

All right.

Now, I'd like to start by saying that I've known Roger for, oh, way too long.

And I know that when it comes to business ventures and cars, wine, his

always been impeccable.

but well below standard when it came to women.

Until now. I'm sorry, Edie. Until now.

Until now.

I just want to say, old friend, that I always thought you were the man who had

everything. And now, I know you are.

As the future mayor of San Diego, he's proven to his constituents that he

knows... I want you to know, Edie, that as my campaign manager, he's not

implying that my decision to marry this beautiful lady here has anything to do

with looking good for the public.

I would never, ever say that. And I want to make a toast to all of you here.

Thank you so very much for joining us on this wonderful occasion.

And here's to victory and love.

Victory and love.

Thanks again.

Enjoy.

Honey, I'll be right back, okay? Sure. I see an old friend.

Okay, no problem.

Hey, hey, hey, where's that first lady going?

I want to introduce her to Congressman Lewis, won't I? I think Dee's going to

occupied for a while there. She's got some catching up to do with an old

Who's that guy?

That's her ex -partner from LAPD.

Lieutenant Rick Hunter.

Oh, right, right. She mentioned him.

Yeah.

That is what I was going to get you for Christmas.

Oh, thanks a lot. It'll go great with my murky bed.

Oh!

You do not still have that Murphy bed. You remember the Murphy bed, do you?

Yes, I remember it.

I was hoping perhaps you had evolved some since then. I mean, look at you

your soft match and everything.

Well, like you, I can live anywhere.

By the way, this place reminds me of your old two -bedroom on 4th Street.

Are we feeling just a little bit, Chuck?

Tell us a what? Having to drop breadcrumbs in the middle of the night

way back in the bathroom?

Oh, you are so asking for it.

Yes.

I am so looking forward to having you meet Roger.

It might not be as easy as I want it to be today, though I mean with the

campaign going on and everything, you know.

Campaign?

I thought this was an engagement party.

Oh, don't be such a Weisenheimer, huh?

You and I have done plenty of politicking in our day under the guise

something else.

Did I tell you that's how Roger and I met?

Yep, about ten times.

No, I think it was more like eight times. Eight times?

There was such little funding for foster care and finding permanent homes for

the kids was so hard. All of a sudden... Thanks again. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you.

Thanks. Oh, not for me. Thank you.

Hi, how you doing?

You having fun?

Yeah. Good. You look beautiful.

Excuse me, Alderman. I wanted to thank you and Ann both.

Well, hello.

Hello. Looking for the little boy's room?

Yes, ma 'am. It's right down there and around to your left.

It's a little tricky. I can show you so you won't get lost.

Really?

Well, I think I can manage. Thanks very much. You're very kind. I've got a

pocket full of breadcrumbs.

No, because I'm not interested in what you have to say about this. It's just,

it's like a... Rick!

My apologies.

Not a word to Dee. She would kill me if she knew that I slipped away to do some

work. No problem.

Didn't mean to intrude.

You looked intent.

No. I just wanted a chance to tell you how glad I am that you could make it

down. Dee really wanted you here.

She thinks the world of you.

And I want you to know...

That she means everything to me.

I'm the luckiest man on this planet.

Indeed you are.

I've been blessed in many ways.

The day I found Dee, it didn't get any better than that.
