Lonny Flash

Lonny Flash is one of the main characters in Hunters. He is portrayed by Josh Radnor.

Season One
In the Belly of the Whale

Jonah is introduced by Meyer to the group.

The Mourner's Kaddish

Jonah deciphers a written message and realizes it’s in relation to one of the Nazi’s, Karl Holstedder.

After being introduced to the gang, Jonah gets to work with the others. Its here we learn that Holstedder used to host his own singing horror show inside the holocaust camp called The Star Of Buchenwald.

With a plan in action, the hunters circle Holstedder’s house before converging in the main atrium, proceeding to tie him down and give him what the Jews never had – a fair trial. With witness statements from Buchenwald, Lonny stumbles upon a hidden room and after picking the lock, he and Rox head in and find a homegrown radio set-up, one that appears to be broadcasting a message.

When they ask Karl, he refuses to engage, leading them to torture him through a grueling sound endurance test. Eventually Jonah convinces Geyer and the others to stop, and it’s here Holstedder announces that he was just following orders in playing tapes.

With the group preoccupied with the broadcast, Jonah heads into the room and gives the man a glass of water. Unfortunately, this is just the distraction he needs, proceeding to smash the glass and hold Jonah up with a shard of glass to his throat. Although Joe saves him from his fate, the ensuing blast also kills the broadcast, forcing the Hunters to leave.

While Visions of Safta Danced in His Head

Back at headquarters the next day, the group discuss the 74 different nazis on the wall they are aware of. Meyer rallies the troops, tasking them with watching Holstedder’s house and as they conduct a stake out, Lonny notices movement inside. As they head in to take a look, Roxy is immediately ambushed by a lady called Maryanne. Thankfully she gets the upper-hand and impales the Nazi through the neck.

Back at HQ, Sister Harriet feeds back what the group have found regarding their next target.

Sister Harriet meets with Lonny and deduces what the matching keys mean – they lead to a safety deposit box in Zurich World Bank.

The Pious Thieves

After a mis-step from Mindy inside the bank, Sister Harriet hustles for information with one of her contacts. Back at HQ they look over schematics of the bank and discuss a plan of action to break into the bank. The gang put their plan into action and break into the bank. With the hostage situation working perfectly as a distraction for the others to break into the vault, Jonah arrives and manages to stop Joe from being killed by a rogue officer. Mindy opens the safety deposit box but finds nothing there. However, there’s a secret compartment behind the wall that leads down to a hidden basement. Once there, they find a whole stash of Nazi loot, which they quickly take photos of for evidence.

At Night, All Birds are Black

The group reconvene, proceeding to look over a photo of The Wolf and his associates, deciding to set their attention on a political activist known as Tilder Sauer.

the trio of hunters (Roxy, Meyer and Lonny) converge on Tilda Sauer’s location, tasering her and holding her hostage. When she awakens, the entire group circle and torture her, asking for information surrounding Oskar but she remains incredulous and refusing to engage. Meyer manages to get through to her eventually and upon realizing she knows nothing, shoots her square in the head.

They head out of Tauer’s house their car suddenly explodes, leading to a shootout as Travis reveals himself and grabs a shotgun, circling Meyer while Roxy lies passed out on the ground. As sirens wail overhead, the shootout is left to be continued, as Travis growls in frustration and leaves the house.

(Ruth 1:16)

The fractured remnants of the group discuss Harriet’s betrayal and what it means for them while Meyer stitches up Jonah following his run-in with Dieter in the previous episode. Before they can go after new targets, the group prepare for the upcoming wedding.

Jonah speaks to the other hunters about the upcoming plan, where they learn through scattered bits of intel that the Nazis are planning to create a fourth reich in America. Before they can continue, Sister Harriet arrives, leading Joe to march up and grab her. She shows them Moritz in the trunk of her car; a wedding gift for Murray and Mindy.

Shalom Motherf***er

Joe and Lonny follow a lead regarding Timothy Randall which brings them to a counselling session for veterans.

They eventually track down the files they need and find out where Randall lives, leading them to spy on a woman named Una from afar. They wait for her to leave before heading into the house and looking for The Ghost. Creeping through the house with guns at the ready, they eventually find him hooked up to a life support machine. As they contemplate what to do, downstairs Una returns home with her child as Joe and Lonny race after her thanks to Jonah fumbling with his gun.

Back at Meyer’s, Jonah presents the music box and together the group begin to decipher what it all means. Given the morse code only revealed dates, the music box is much more exact, showing coordinates to several different areas across the city, including Grand Central Station. With this information, they deduce that they could be looking at a biological weapon being released, which matches up to what they found at The Ghost’s house.

Before they can act on this intel, Millie and other FBI agents arrive with a warrant to search the house. Within one of the rooms Millie finds the remnants of the fire that broke out earlier in the show. Sensing he’s not being wholly truthful, Millie arrests Meyer for the murder of Heinz Richter.

Day turns to night, and the group converge at the station, where Jonah finds Travis walking casually down the stairs. He hurries after him, keeping an eye from afar while the other half of the group follow clues to the second location, which leads them to a utility plant.

Travis slips past Jonah and Murray, but not past Lonny who follows him from afar. However, Travis doesn’t have his bag with him, having left it on the train. Inside the bag happens to be a bomb and as Murray tries to diffuse it, he begs Jonah to move everyone out of the train car while he stays behind.

He fails to diffuse it though and as the countdown ends, the utility plant blows sky high. Murray experiences a touching moment involving his son appearing before him, and as he reaches out, the train carriage detonates and Jonah flies through the air. The inferno engulfs Murray, killing him instantly.

The ensuing blast causes Lonny to become momentarily distracted, and it’s enough time for Travis to turn around and plunge a knife into the man’s stomach. As he collapses on the floor, gasping for air, Jonah awakens and sees the wreckage first-hand as the city itself is plunged into darkness.

The Jewish Question

Lonny returns alive to HQ while Meyer introduces the group to Millie, who joins them in their base of operations. This leads them to a beautiful funeral where they say goodbye to Murray.

As the group start closing in on those who are pulling the strings, they set their sights on a man called Von Braun. After speaking to Simon, who berates what they’re doing and tells them they need to stop hunting for the sake of their own heritage, Jonah begins questioning what they’re doing too. It’s here Meyer admits to killing 11 men the night in the camp, in a bid to save Ruth, and admitting he hasn’t been the same since.

The Great Ole Nazi Cookout of '77

Lonny suggests heading out on a road trip. Sister Harriet and Lonny capture Jason and manage to get crucial information about the virus and how it’s going to be distributed. In order to break in and infiltrate the operation, they call on Lonny to put on a disguise and use his acting skills to fool the Nazis.

With Sister Harriet watching from afar, Mindy on the radio and Joe and Jonah breaking in the back, Lonny poses as a scientist and heads in through the front door. Although Lonny starts to follow the instructions, static interference on the radio causes him to be stuck on his own. He manages to break the machines though, only to be caught by The Colonel and Travis in the main chamber.

After holding them off momentarily, the rest of the group burst in and a gunfight ensues and the corn syrup fries.

Eilu v' Eilu

Jonah sits with the group and reveals the truth about who Meyer really was. Having cut the head off the snake, Joe leaves in anger.

With Joe and Mindy both gone from the scene, the remaining Hunters band together as Jonah rallies the troops and tells them Millie is now hunting them in America. Sister Harriet takes the opportunity to discuss moving out of America and taking the fight into Europe instead.
