The Hunters

Did you get it?

Okay.

Let's go.

Jesus. Look at this.

She leaves all her sh*t

in the back of the car.

Damn it.

She can come out here

and look for 'em!

What's up, Oliver?

Take it easy, man.

You're not working tomorrow, are you?

Yeah yeah.

Yeah, I am working tomorrow.

Yeah, that boss

of mine gives me

a 6:
00 AM wake-up call

on a Sunday.

40 PCs and printers

to hook up to a network.

A Sunday...

it's rough, but it's not

that big a deal.

I'm sure it'll go by real fast.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, man.

I shouldn't take it out

on Beth either.

It's not cool.

It's not her fault.

She does her best.

I mean

she... she's probably sick

of my horseshit anyway,

you know?

She's been throwing

some fits and it's...

the married life, my friend...

it's not exactly

what they say it is.

But I tell myself

I'm a lucky man,

you know?

And I am, really.

You know, I mean...

...if it weren't

for Beth...

she's a great woman.

I don't regret it.

And the whole thing with...

Ronny, what's the matter?

Did you hear that?

No, Ronny.

Hear what?

It's, uh...

it's nothing.

It's... it's nothing.

- It's... it's gone.

- F*** you.

It's probably the kids.

- Hey, here they are.

- Yeah, man.

It's, like... the last time

there was this fag

at the Borny Tae club,

you know, man?

The jerk thinks

he's a Mike Tyson.

He jumps into the f***ing ring

and the motherf***er tried

these weak-ass judo kicks,

but I smashed his head to pulp.

Pow! You know?

He tries to defend himself,

but I'm just like...

Pow! Pow!

I cracked his skull

and then, two seconds later,

he was history.

- Yeah.

- F***ing K.O.

You're just like Freddy, man.

- Yeah?

- I gotta introduce him to you.

- Yeah, man, do that.

- Last time, man,

we had a bust-up

with these punks in Queen's.

- Yeah?

- And there was this one fag,

- the youngest...

- You f***ing beat his ass?

We caught him in the alley,

just behind the Queen's.

Stephen,

you unload your weapon?

Oh shoot.

Good job, kid.

You did good this weekend.

- Good boy.

- Thanks.

Ronny, what's your deal?

- You gonna hang out this weekend?

- I don't think so.

- Yeah.

- You know, I gotta work on Sunday too.

Homework to grade, got the school party

in two weeks' time.

- Stop it.

- I mean the school party for Christ's sakes.

Like, f***.

- Here's to Sunday.

- Sunday.

Come on, man.

Hey, let's go.

You've got to get to work.

- You'll be late.

- Will, looks like you're ridin' with me.

- Yeah, I'll call you later.

- No doubt.

- See ya later, guys.

- See ya, Steve.

- Le Saint.

- The chief wants to see you.

Now.

- Who are you?

- I'm Le Saint.

- The army guy.

- Oh yeah, the new guy.

Wait a second.

I gotta check.

Sir?

There's a guy here... Saint.

He's waiting at the door.

You got a meeting

with the boss?

Watch out...

he's no pussycat.

All right, send him in.

You know, half the time

I don't even know what it's gonna be

until they put it

on the desk in front of me.

So at this point

I can't make any predictions.

The best thing for me to do

is wait till I see a copy of it.

We'll talk about it, all right?

All right?

Thanks a lot.

Okay.

Phoebe, procedures.

- The arresting officer will restrain the sus...

- I'm Le Saint, sir.

Sit down, sit down.

-- Will restrain the suspect.

until his partner has

a chance to read him his rights.

Let's leave the rest

of that until tomorrow, okay?

Would you get us

a cup of coffee?

- Sure.

- All right. Okay.

So, Le Saint, huh?

- Yeah.

- What is that, French?

Yeah. Actually,

my father was...

That's right, that's right.

Your father. That's right.

So what do they got

you on here?

Filing... responses,

- reports, closed cases.

- Procedures, protocol.

That's some of the most important

stuff we do here.

You show some aptitude

for administration,

we'll get you training...

who knows?

Everyone's willing

to give you a break here,

most of all me.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Also, I just wanted to let you know

that I have expertise in analysis.

Well, that's good,

that's good. Now...

And sir, I think I've found some

new leads in a couple of cases.

- What kind of cases?

- Classified ones.

I mean here,

take the disappearance file

for example.

If we change

our angle of analysis,

it gives new results.

- So?

- 22 missing people

in the county in the last

two years or so.

22. It seems

higher than average.

Of course it's higher than average.

That was in the original report.

That's right. Well, I've noticed

that our neighboring counties

have also had a high number

of disappearances and runaways.

I mean why not look

at car thefts too?

I'm convinced

everything's concentrated

- in a 30-mile radius around the city.

- Well, good good.

That means you've got a lot

of initiative and I like you already.

Okay? I've got

an assignment for you here.

Sir, if it's okay with you,

I'd like to pursue my analysis.

You could reopen some cases.

I think I can bring a lot to them.

Hey, I give out

the assignments here,

not you.

Get that straight.

How long have you been here?

- Two weeks.

- Two weeks.

- Almost, yeah.

- Oh, almost two weeks.

That's a little soon for you

to start questioning the authority

of someone who's been doing this job

for 25 years, isn't it?

Isn't it? Now this assignment's

a little bit risky.

What kind of shape are you in?

- I'm fully operational.

- Bullshit.

I mean look at you...

Huh? Come on,

don't bullshit me.

You look like you just got out

of the hospital. You're underweight.

- Can you run? Can you use a weapon?

- Why do you ask?

I ask because I have the right to ask,

and you answer.

You could've retired, you know.

You got the Golden Star.

You were decommissioned.

You stepped on a mine

in Afghanistan.

12 months of convalescence.

You're still disabled.

I mean it's all right here.

You can read it right here.

But frankly, and don't

be offended by this,

I can tell by looking at you.

I mean I'm going

to have to go out of my way

to find a place for you here.

Okay. Okay.

Maybe I didn't come out

of a police academy.

That's right.

Let me tell you something.

I've got balls. I know what it's like

to be out there.

And with all due respect, I could

teach some of your guys one thing or two.

This is not the military.

This is not a battlefield.

We don't need heroes.

You know what

we're dealing with?

We're dealing with wild animals

who have social security cards.

That's a lot different

than what you're doing.

Here. Here's one of them now.

This is your assignment.

His name is Francois,

French immigrant.

Works for the local mob.

He was involved

in a couple of murders

and he arranges orgies

for the big cheese.

A couple of weeks ago,

some young kid got killed

at one of these orgies.

Now the district attorney wants

the big cheese to go down.

So the only way we're gonna get

this case heard in court

- is if Francois testifies.

- And where do I come in?

You get Francois,
