Dog the Bounty Hunter

- Season 4

(2007)

Dog usually takes his job personally, but this time a case really hits home. First, he and Beth receive a special gift--a painting of Dog's recently deceased daughter, Barbara Katy. Everyone on the team needs to take a moment to recover from the emotional impact of that.

Dog finds himself fighting two enemies--the law and his inner demons. He continues his legal battle to fight extradition to Mexico in connection with his 2003 capture of fugitive rapist Andrew Luster. His other struggle is private. Demoralized by his arrest on the extradition warrant, Dog questions whether he really has the hunger to ever bounty hunt again.

Dog shows his love of justice and children in this poignant episode. He begins by giving encouragement to a group of handicapped children and making them honorary members of his posse. Dog and the team then start their search for Jacob, a fugitive who's abandoned his wife and children.

Michael is out on bail for drug sales, theft, and violation of parole. Dog's after him for failing to appear in court and his only lead is Jen, his co-signer and girlfriend. When they hit her house she's nowhere to be found but her brother informs them he's worried because Michael has a history of abusing women and fears for his sister's safety.

Today, Dog and the boys are going after a fugitive with a serious price tag. Tim Rippe failed to appear in court on a $25,000 bond and has a string of theft charges behind him. When the team hits Rippe's apartment, they find a boot print on the door - a souvenir of a police raid from only days earlier. Rippe managed to evade the cops, but Dog is determined to put this fugitive behind bars.

A Hawaiian surfing hero is on a wave to nowhere and it's Dog's turn to play lifeguard. `Buttons,' known throughout the islands for his prowess on the waves and his daring 360's, has wiped-out on the rocky shoals of drug addiction. This troubled legend has been losing his struggle with the "Big H" and Dog's search to find him is a voyage through the murky waters of homelessness and despair.

Kristine Lau had a string of gambling and forgery charges before she jumped bail leaving Dog "holding the bag" - in this case a $20,000 bond. Now it's time for Dog to call in some chits of his own, getting the help of trusty informants he's helped out over the years.

Dog told him not to go, but Charles went anyway, skipping to Oregon against the terms of his bail. Now Dog has a tip that Charles plans to slip back into Honolulu. With $30,000 on the line Dog knows he can leave little to chance. He needs someone Charles won't recognize to track him inside the airport when his plane lands.

Dog's got a twofer on his hands, but the cases couldn't be more different. The first is a woman whose family wants her back in jail. The other is a former choirboy whose family ties are strong. Darlene's been busted for third degree promotion and her sister, fed up with her behavior, wants off the bond. Dog will do his best to straighten her out but he has his doubts about making a difference.

Dog and Beth have to be at the state capitol bright and early to receive an award for their fight against ice in Hawaii. Afterwards, they're inspired to start the hunt for Shanna, an alleged ice user and identity thief with $80,000 in bonds. Working two informants Dog and the posse begin to close in on their target.

Dog thinks he's got an average day of bounty hunting ahead of him, but he couldn't be more wrong. Beth calls a client, Daphne, whose bond they have to revoke and makes a shocking discovery: Daphne's cosigner on her bond and ex-boyfriend, Bobby, has just committed suicide.

The co-signer on this bond is seven months pregnant, and she says that the man she bailed out has threatened her safety and has been running amok on the streets. Now Dog and the posse have got to revoke John's bail. After meeting with the cosigner they hatch a plan to use several of John's friends to lure him to a high rise apartment.

Roger has 27 prior arrests, spent years in jail and doesn't want to go back. But he's missed court and now Dog has to bring him in. To complicate matters, this fugitive lives in a tightly-knit community, which means that while almost everyone the team talks to knows Roger, not all of them are going to give Dog good information.

Kolani's on the run, left his wife to look after four kids and left Dog holding the bag for the $10k bond. Apparently the lure of the streets and other women have drawn him away from his commitments. But love is strong and it isn't easy for the team to get the truth. So their pursuit on this case takes them into some parts of Ohau, and the human heart, that few of us will ever see.

Today the crew is hunting for Holly, a car thief. She's one of Tim's bonds and the entire Dog crew knows that means trouble - or at least a long and difficult chase. As the hunt starts, Tim's got nothing but a photograph to work with until an informant calls to say he knows where Holly is at that very moment.

Dog is tracking down Cecilia, who's wanted for aggravated car theft, but she's nowhere to be found. Her girlfriend and co-signer has gone missing too. Just when the trail goes stone cold, a friend with an ax to grind leads the team tothe cosigner's empty apartment where they hatch a plan to lure her back.

Dog, Beth and the team are in Colorado and today they face a special Chapman challenge getting the kids to camp. After the drop-off, Dog is more than ready to track down a fugitive. Robin disposed of a body after a homicide, and now hes skipped his court date.

Bounty hunts are always full of surprises and that is very true today. Dog is in search of a potentially dangerous fugitive, he's only 19 and charged with kidnapping and menacing. In other words the kind of criminal Dog likes to get off the streets. But the case takes an unexpected turn when the Chapman clan ends up in a confrontation with the suspect's family.

Dog and the team are back in Colorado hunting bounties. Today's fugitive has a long rap sheet and a reputation for packing heat. With nothing but an address and phone number, the team heads out on the hunt. When they get to his girlfriend's pad, no one answers. But Dog's sixth sense tingles when he hears a puppy scratching at the door of the apartment he knows it's worth sticking around.

After Kimo did a vanishing act on his day in court and now Dog and the posse have to find him. With precious few leads to follow Dog turns to the fugitive's on again-off-again girlfriend, but she's initially reluctant to join the hunt.
