The robber’s gun falls to the ground and lands directly in front of <a href="/wiki/Commodity_market" title="Commodity market">commodities trader</a> Eugene Hunt, one of the customers taken hostage. Hunt takes the gun and slips away. Because the weapon was not found at the scene and the other witnesses are unclear about seeing a handgun, Turner is accused of killing an unarmed man and is subsequently suspended. </p><p>Hunt uses the gun to commit random killings. At the scene of the first murder, he leaves behind a spent <a href="/wiki/Shell_casing" class="mw-redirect" title="Shell casing">shell casing</a> on which he has carved Turner’s name. Shortly thereafter, Hunt begins hearing voices telling him he is unique and to kill again. Meanwhile, as she attempts to clear her name with Assistant Chief Stanley Hoyt and her superiors, Turner begins dating Hunt, unaware that he has become obsessed with her. One night at his apartment, Hunt reveals to Turner that he was at the supermarket robbery, that he took the robber's gun and that he's the person behind the recent killings. Turner arrests him but he is freed by his attorney, Mel Dawson, due to a lack of evidence. </p><p>Turner fights to keep her badge and solve the murders with the help of Detective Nick Mann. Hunt arrives at her apartment, assaults her and shoots her best friend, Tracy Perez, before rendering her unconscious with a blow to the head and then burying the gun in a park. Turner regains consciousness and goes to Hunt's apartment with Mann to arrest him, but Dawson prevents her from doing so. </p><p>Seeking comfort from her mother Shirley, Turner visits her family home, an uncomfortable place because her father Frank <a href="/wiki/Domestic_violence" title="Domestic violence">physically abused</a> her mother throughout her childhood. When she arrives, she finds that her mother is bruised. Enraged, Turner handcuffs her father and arrests him. During the drive they stop and talk in an attempt to finally put an end to his abuse. When they return to the house, Hunt is posing as a guest sitting with her mother. A tense exchange takes place between the two, where they both imply that they are armed. When he leaves, she goes to his apartment and spends the night staking him out. </p><p>The next morning, Turner follows Hunt to the park where he buried his gun. Mann interrupts another standoff between Hunt and Turner, where she is attempting to get Hunt to try for her gun; Hunt runs off. Believing that he'll return for the murder weapon, they stake out the park. Turner sees the beam of a flashlight and assumes it's Hunt searching for the gun. She leaves the car to apprehend him, but not before handcuffing Mann to the steering wheel to prevent him from following her. The flashlight turns out to be a ruse: Hunt paid a homeless woman to decoy the police. Meanwhile, Hunt is holding Mann at gunpoint. Turner appears and fires her gun, shooting Hunt in the left arm before he escapes in traffic. </p><p>Mann and Turner return to her apartment, where unbeknown to them, Hunt is patching up his wound in her bathroom. The pair have sex and Mann is ambushed by Hunt and shot when he goes to the bathroom. Turner does not hear the shot because it was muffled by a towel. Hunt attacks and rapes Turner and she eventually kicks him away and gets her hands on her gun and shoots at him, but he flees. Mann is unconscious and taken to the hospital, where Turner is told that he will survive. </p><p>Determined to find Hunt and finish him off, Turner knocks out her police guard, then takes his uniform and gun. She wanders the streets and Hunt follows her into the subway. Turner and Hunt are both shot and the gun fight carries on out to the street. She finally shoots and kills him after a long and violent confrontation in the middle of <a href="/wiki/Wall_Street" title="Wall Street">Wall Street</a> after she appropriates a civilian vehicle, running him down (just before he runs out of ammunition).
