Unfortunately, so does a local news van & reporter Raul Mercado. The robbers fire at them and one is subsequently killed by Hunter. When the van gets in the way Hunter arrests the reporter for interference, only to find himself an unwilling celebrity on the news and in the doghouse with Captain Devane. Hunter soon finds that Mercado is engaging in a vendetta against him, trying to get him fired, despite Mercado's characterization of his crusade as a 'public service'. When someone starts making attempts on Mercado's life, Mercado suspects Hunter. But when the bullets do not match Hunter's gun, he & McCall are asked to investigate. Things get uglier when a car-bomb kills Mercado, and the murderer may be closer than anyone thought... Written by Derek O'Cain See less
