You know, Hammer, looking out for Mr. Yates really showed me that you're not all hostility and vengeance. Mostly. But not all.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
That was reckless, it was careless, it was totally irresponsible. And I loved it.
I sent Hammer home early and I got rid of every scrap of paper with Hammer's name on it. That guy won't even know Hammer exists. I wish I could say the same.
IPInspector Perkins
Mr. Slag, I want to know if Inspector Hammer has mistreated you in any way.
[Slag holds up his hands, which are shackled]
IPInspector Perkins
What are these? Are these shackles really necessary?
I'm just trying to make his stay in Hotel Hammer a little more uncomfortable.
IPInspector Perkins
Remove these shackles.
You don't want me to remove them.
IPInspector Perkins
Inspector Hammer!
[Slag smirks and holds up his hands. Hammer sighs and unlocks the shackles]
IPInspector Perkins
There. Does that feel better, Slag?
[Slag immediately starts throttling Perkins. As he chokes and gasps, Hammer stands by calmly]
Just, uh, tell me if you want me to help you. You know, just say, "help me, Hammer" and I'll...
[He leans forward, as though trying to hear]
IPInspector Perkins
[manages to croak] Help.
[Hammer nods and draws his gun]
All right, heel, ratboy.
[Slag drops Perkins, and shrugs innocently]
In London the cops don't carry guns and criminals don't carry a gun. And London is a very safe city to live in.
Yeah. Especially if you're a crook, and you've got a gun.
This whole thing has just complete sapped my self-confidence. I'm not a man any more. I'm indecisive. Well, actually, I don't know, maybe I'm not. No, I, I... am.
Hammer, I haven't seen you this excited about TV since they colorized World War II footage.
BOBrianne O'Brian
You've got a reputation as a hardliner. You've even been referred to as "The Hanging Judge." When did you get that name?
JJJudge Jackson
At my baptism.
BOBrianne O'Brian
We know how you feel about the death penalty. Where do you stand on the electric chair?
JJJudge Jackson
Right next to the switch.
Doreau': Hammer, I cannot believe what you're saying. Incarcerate potential criminals at birth? What are you going to do, throw them in a baby prison?
If they resist arrest.
DDoctor
I'm afraid that blow to Detective Doreau's head has caused a behavioral imbalance. She's become excessively violent, irrational, and dangerous.
That happened to me once. The day I was born.
Hammer! I want you and Doreau to come into the precinct immediately. And I want you to make sure she does not get killed. It's okay if you do.
KKruggle
Listen, Hammer, I've got some information for you about that cat burglar, the one who's pulling off all those jewel robberies.
Hey, listen, forget it, okay. It's a sissy case.
KKruggle
Oh yeah? Well, uh, he's suspected of shooting a cop.
There's a cat burglar who shot a cop. Now I'm mildly enraged.
CHCommissioner Holbestam
Hammer, what do you have behind your back?
What? Oh, the bowling ball. Well, actually, there's a very simple explanation.
Yeah, he's found a new way to harm others.
Captain, I think we can get the professor to Springfield without using a plane. We'll use an alternative form of transportation that no one ever uses any more.
That's a good idea, Doreau. We'll take a stagecoach. I'll ride shotgun.
Captain, you don't seriously believe that Hammer shot Hugo Victor in cold blood, do you?
Doreau, what I can't believe is that Hammer shot him only once. Restraint is not one of Hammer's strong points.
