Thank you.

All right, wait a second. Let me get this straight.

You already owe me five grand. Now you want me to front you more by two?

That's right. All right, you give me one reason why I should remotely consider

that. Besides me causing you a world of pain, maybe you want to see that first 5

,000 come back to you sometime.

Meaning that you took the whole shipment that you should have sold and you went

out and partied on it with your girls, didn't you?

Didn't you?

Listen here, Harley, let me tell you something.

Damn. I was hoping I wouldn't have to get my hands dirty.

Let's give him a jump.

Here you go, boss.

Should only take a minute.

So you were going to cause us a world of pain.

Say hello to a universe of pain.

Come and try to talk it down Why everyone bags on

my town Stand and see It's worth for me

Take a look around Just another day

See more than me.

Anybody who thinks he is free.

Stop it.

One in and down.

Just another day.

I need two volunteers to join Sergeant McNamara and myself on a five -day out

-of -town training trip.

Will Officer Kelly be tagging along?

No, she'll be staying behind as interim commander.

I see.

Way to go, Harper. You just talked yourself out of a paid vacation.

What's the destination?

Let's just say it's a warm -weather city. It's July.

Keokuk, Iowa is a warm -weather city.

Big hint, it's not Keokuk. I'm out. I've got marksmanship recertification next

week.

Cruz, Granger, raise your hands.

I accept.

You're coming.

Lieutenant, I'm a sworn enemy of those who teach, not to mention the card

-carrying king of bad influence.

Oh, sir, your highness, I thought a trip to Oahu would really blow your skirt

up. Oahu?

We're leaving early.

Staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

You guys get a good night's sleep. You're dismissed.

Or should I say aloha?

Aloha.

So we'll hook up in uniform, right here, bikes gleaming, first thing in the

morning. Whoa, first thing.

What's that? Nine, ten, noon?

Six. A .M.

So then you're on your own. You guys got any plans?

Oh, yeah.

Yes, we discussed it on the flight over. What was it? Uh, Polynesian Museum, and

then, uh, the library, history, meditation, culture.

Just keep in mind if a bail bondsman calls either of our rooms... We never

of you. What about you, sir?

What do you have planned?

Oh, you know, culture.

A hundred miles away from here, a storm is on the rise.

The pressure drops, the center clears, a single flag this high.

How long was I asleep inside the dream I called my home?

Awaken now, return to me, the host that claims it all.

Yeah, that's good, because if I thought you were aiming for me, I'd have to kill

you. Hey, I said I was sorry.

Yeah? Well, not as sorry as you're going to be.

What the hell was that?

Ancient Hawaiian curse.

You ran into me.

Oh, yeah?

Well, you guys all right?

We're fine.

I'm just getting a little taste of Aloha spirit.

Sorry, brother.

We may not have said we own the place.

Yeah, you got that right.

Look, maybe we can make it up to you.

I'll buy you a Mai Tai.

Aloha, bro. Enjoy the curse.

Did he say curse?

I am learning a very important cultural lesson, brother Cruz.

What's that, brother Granger?

Hawaiian women and mainland women are more alike than not.

Once you peel away their differences.

Really?

I think this merits further research.

Oh, she likes me.

You. You need glasses, my friend. I will after this.

Hi, I'm Velvet.

Can I dance for you, boy?

It's my cultural duty.

Chris, Chris, you're the one who said you didn't want to come. And you also

that we needed some time apart.

Look, this isn't all fun and games. We're working here.

I'm sore, I'm sunburned, and some dude in the ocean put a curse on my head.

We were surfing.

It was for an hour.

No, Corey's fine.

No, no, no, no. Russ and Bobby are on a very short leash.

Trust me.

You guys are a definite step up from the usual boomers.

Yeah, well, we're house buddies. At least I am.

I can tell.

In fact, are you the man I've been waiting for all my life?

Oh, yeah.

I'm so glad.

Do not turn around.

We're meeting set for tomorrow. How long do we need to test this stuff?

Testing? Yeah, 24 hours. That'll be good enough.

How about 48?

How about 36?

Nalu, Nalu, tomorrow noon.

Bring a security deposit and balance on the final delivery.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.

You got some butt to kick when you get back to the mainland.

Saniga says you'll know this tomorrow when you see him.

He's got a face like a mud pen.

Have fun.

Did you see that guy?

You know the guy?

I'm telling you, it was a drug deal.

Did you see her eyes?

You never looked at her eyes. You never looked at her eyes.

They were bright green.

Like Keelan Dagger is on me, love.

Guess what?

I'm being serious here.

I was just propositioned for a drug buy.

A big one.

The guy was talking meat and testing and security deposits.

Hey. Hey.

We're being followed.

Oh, hey.

Look, I think we were mistaken for two other guys.

In fact, I think that stripper idea seemed to wake some kind of signal.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

She's not a stripper. She's an exotic dancer and she has a name.

Yeah, Velvet.

Come on, lads.

Laddies, if you're gonna fly, let's fly!

Four for four.

Four for four.

Cool your jets there, tough guy. My partner had a bullet intended out of a

training exercise.

I'll get him when he gets here. And what are you going to do? Peddle his little

bike up the side of the building, is he?

Oh, you want to finish what we started? Anytime you're ready, mate. Let's go.

Hey, if you two don't dial it down, I'll throw you both in the lagoon.

Sorry, man.

Oh, I'm sorry, man. Listen to him.

It's called manners, pal.

Hi. Love you, Cruz.

Yeah, I heard all about you.

Cruz!

T .C., finally.

Who's in charge here?

Officer Claire Keene, Oahu Undercover. This is Officer Pete Young, Officer Matt

Cho, and Officer Buck Bell.

Nice to meet you, but unless somebody with some rank can explain to me why you

need my men so desperately... I can tell you.

Oh, wow.

This is my water brother.

Don't tell me.

Sergeant Rick K. Cowell, boss of this unit.

How are the islands treating you?

Let's just say that nothing's been easy so far.

Good. The curse is working.

Curse? What curse?

Could have cursed on you.

Nothing. We had a little accident. I broke his surfboard. But he's main

He's custom local.

You need my guys. Why?

They stepped into a sting of ours.

Got mistaken for a couple drug buyers from the mainland.

We have the largest Batuu ring in the Pacific.

Right in our crosshairs.

Bahtu? Heist.

Top grade crystal meth.

Only more better.

Like everything down here.

We've got four months invested in nailing the big man behind this. That's

and your boys picked the wrong night to go into the wrong strip bar.

It wasn't exactly a strip bar. It was culture.

Now we'd like them to continue the role playing.

How about it? Not a chance.

Lieutenant Calloway, for the loan of your man, Oahu would be most grateful.

I would be most grateful.

Grateful enough to apologize for yesterday?

I lost my temper. I apologize.

Grateful enough to, oh, say, lift a curse?

Gee, I've never lifted a curse before. You know, I don't even know if it's

possible. But I will talk to my kahuna.

Two -thirds and Camara.

Clayton.

Clayton. I'm really sorry about Lieutenant Calloway.

Relax, Court.

You're a very good trainer.

Thank you. It's just that, you know, I thought he'd be back by now.

It could be that curse he had put on you.

How did you hear about that?

It's a small island.

Okay.

It's just that, you know, TC's great, especially when it comes to selling the

new recruits on the bike patrol.

Hey, I'm sold already.

Four -time Oahu Mountain Bike Champ.

They're the ones we need to convince.

Check that out.

Maybe they're stuck in dental.

This is your church. You do the honors.

See the young lady in the window?

Just let her know she can have whatever she wants.

Absolutely,

Mr. Shepard.

Choose something.

Anything you want.

Oh, no thank you. I'm just looking.

No, it's a gift to you. No charge.

A gift?

From you?

No, not from me. From Michael Shane.

Corey.

Hey, Corey.

Why don't you start big time for the locals?

Maybe the curse is lifted, huh?

You see, the weirdest thing just happened.

This guy and Tiffany.

What guy?

Well, he tried to give me a gift.

Batuu is a Filipino name. The Japanese developed it back in the 40s. They laced

it into sake and gave it to their kamikaze pilots.

Banzai, huh?

Then the Koreans fed them to the Marines.

Of the ones who survived the war, the average lifespan was 34.

Strokes, massive heart attacks.

This stuff makes mainland speed look like aspirin. We're going to make sure

never gets to you guys.

You actually believe you can win this fight?

Well, if you believe you've lost, you have lost.

Nicky Van.

I'm the stripper.

He's one of the main crumbs.

It's a nice resume, but this guy's not the wheel. No, you're going to give up

the wheel.

Nicky mistook you for one of his couriers.

We're glad you look Samoan, Bobby.

Samoan?

Lincoln Heights.

Barrio, baby.

We'll take any break we can get.

Five grand.

Cash. Spend them all in one place, huh?

Nalu nalu.

Hey, what is Nalu Nalu anyways?

It means big wave, storm wave.

It's a surf shop right in the heart of the North Shore.

Hey, hey.

Thought you guys might not show.

No, you didn't.

Yeah, you're right.

Hey, you guys meet the shark.

Aloha.

Okay, you gotta be Woody.

Which makes you umu.

What's up, bro? I heard you rip.

Rip? The waves.

You surf, right?

When they're worth ripping.

Okay, well, see, a nigga said I ought to check you out, so I'm checking.

Yeah, well, you know, I left my board at home.

Oh, no worries.

Here we go.

Try the, uh... Amakua.

Surf's up, dude.

Gee, we're not screwed or anything.

Why didn't you tell me you blew out a knee or something?

Why didn't you tell me? Because I just thought of it.

Can you even do this?

You better hope so.

That's reassuring.

You see, I think it was right. I'm impressed.

Yeah, until next time I charge admission.

Keep it.

A little too poorly for me, bro.

Trust me, bro, you're going to want to keep it.

It'll make you stay here much more profitable.

Right, Chuck?

Oh, yeah.

Hey, it's cool.

A little good faith money.

In case I ding your board.

Good.

Fair enough.

Day and a half, Nicky said?

Day and a half it is.

Holla.

You wouldn't surf like that.

Ocoima. Woo!

Did we disqualify?

I'd be real surprised if we just didn't pick up a serious taste of macho.

No. Can't you see I'm busy?

Well, I thought you wanted to keep you informed. Is anything wrong?

No. And I'll see Chuck when I'm through here. I'll see you later.

All right.

Let's get you girls some more drinks, shall we?

Okay.

Taste is in their hands.

Deals should be wrapped within 36 hours.

How long does it take to test Batuu?

Well, not long once you're set up. You call that an answer?

They're surfers, not chemists. They're professional couriers.

This is our smoothest delivery yet, Mike.

Thought you'd be happy. You don't have a clue what makes me happy.

24 hours.

I'm sorry I didn't get the whole shipment.

Wanted to impress you.

Maybe I'm already impressed.

Wouldn't be the first time someone's hidden contraband in one of these.

I'll take it back to HQ. We've got x -ray and ultrasound in the crime lab. I

your buck -to -buck is in there somewhere.

Make it a dinner on your own.

We've got a bet.

Hey, where's your partner?

Oh, well, you know what?

Work, work, work.

Hey there.

Russ Granger, remember the man you've been waiting for all your life?

Yeah, right.

I can see it's working already.

What's working?

You know, the Granger Factor.

It's this irresistible appeal I have that affects all things female, you

All right.

So what's your real name there, Velvet?

See you, Russ.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, okay, try this.

Your real name is Louise Schuntermeyer and...

You came up from the mainland to study at U of H. A friend of yours started you

dancing because the money was good. So good, in fact, that you quit school to

dance full time.

How am I doing?

Mary Jane Kunkel. The money's just so -so and the rest is right on.

Now, how'd you find me?

Well, I got this, like, radar thing going to track you by scent.

Okay, I paid off the door guy at Golden Dolls. He said you like to jog. So you

stalked me?

Basically, yeah.

But to ask you out on a picnic.

A picnic.

What? You don't like picnics?

I love picnics.

But after last night, let's just say that most guys would have a different

of date in mind.

Yeah, well, I just want a picnic.

Tomorrow. Noon.

Meet me here.

A picnic.

Don't call the bouncer.

He's the one that pointed you out.

Velvet. Who the hell are you?

Don't you recognize us?

We're the men you've been waiting for all your life.

Want some bad news?

Only if it's all about the good.

Clean. No hidden stash in the foam or the fiberglass.

No boxes.

Oh, man, then why'd they give it to me? That's the mystery.

Cacao's huddling with our captain right now on our next move.

So you want the good news?

Please.

Well, since it is just a surfboard, and since I just happened to bring my boat

along... Then surf's up.

All right.

We're opening nine, bro. I'll come back later.

You open now.

This Woody, me Umu.

Umu, my ass.

We already said... Oh, boy.

Mud fence.

What? Mud fence.

So we go to meet Velvet, and she says we're already in business with you.

What the hell's that about?

Boy,

you are hot out there.

Well, it takes one to know one.

Hey, next time, we'll go tandem.

Okay.

Yeah, I think I can lift you.

Man.

This is paradise.

Look at this.

Well, maybe, Aaron.

Ten years behind the mainland in culture, the arts.

Gangs, violence.

The backwater.

It's paradise.

Yeah, maybe I've just been here too long.

How long?

All my life.

Dad flew trappers in Vietnam, met Mom at a luau on the way home, and never left.

Makes perfect sense to me.

A cone of coffee?

Sometimes it's buying.

Yeah. Well, in that case.

I can't believe it. He's using the damn thing to serve.

Big litter.

I'll wait a little.

Get it back.

I thought you wanted coffee.

Now, there's coffee in here. And shave ice.

And hibiscus honey.

And macadamia and ice cream.

Want a taste?

You bet.

Delicious.

Hey! Hey!

All units, this is Oahu U -C -Q stolen surfboard, stooped beach, suspect's on

foot. Oahu's training schedule is right there.

We are now headed Ava for Albuana Park.

Yeah. Where's your partner? Where's the board you took?

Police!

Police!

Oh, my God.

He stole my board.

This guy, he owe me some, bro. And my board.

No offense, bro.

That fish wouldn't float you.

You're going downtown.

There you go, man.

They blunder into our stakeout, they blow, getting the taste, and then they

flush the real couriers before we even get a shot at them. Better watch

yourself, Snapper. We didn't blow anything.

Look, we don't even know those are the real couriers.

A Howley and a Samoan stood on one border again.

I think we're pretty safe there, Pete.

Well, whoever they are, they're on ice.

Yeah, and then what?

What happens when their one phone call goes to either Nicky or Kamano?

I arranged for their booking slips to get lost. They're in the drunk tank with

the lolos and the mahus.

Well, that buys us the day. Then what? These two puka heads will be more

to us than ever, if that's possible.

Jackpot.

A taste of Batuu and a fin of the shark.

You see, those things are usually solid. That's why I didn't read in the lab.

Great lab, boys. Great lab.

Let's go nail them. Blow in and rip open every bloody surfboard in the place.

Tell you one thing.

They're so careful, they'll never have the main load right in the shot.

I'll tell you another thing.

If we wait, it'll sure be gone.

We don't wait.

Russ and I go back, tell them the taste was fine, and we set up the big buy.

Never five, huh? Come on, I already met these two crumbs in our jail. Otherwise,

how do you know they're still at Amakua?

I think I can take care of that.

Yeah.

Watch and learn, mate.

Watch and learn.

No, Matt's right. Too risky.

It's too time. I vote for full frontal assault.

It's not a democracy, Buck.

Cruiser's plan's the right one. I want you to take the surfboard down to the

lab, start the warrants on Nalu Nalu. We do this right.

More time?

They told you less time.

Well, they, uh, the buyers, they haven't gotten back to us.

Then you get back to them.

We're trying to.

You do know where they are.

Well, they're staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, but like I said, they

could be doing a test someplace else.

24 hours.

After that, I find two new associates, because usually it'll be shark bait and

the Molokai Channel.

Hey, I get beef with you, bro. What? What'd I do?

Claire. What about her?

She loves you. Matt, we only just met.

See? I knew you was gonna break her heart. No, I'm not.

Break her what? Then you love her, too.

Gee, I don't know.

You better love her. You got no business kissing her like that.

You've been watching us.

You love her.

You're damn right I love her. But she don't love me.

Sure she does.

Like a puppy dog.

Like a brother, maybe.

But for two years, I've been trying to get her to notice me the way she noticed

you in the first ten minutes.

Matt, I'm sorry.

Just treat her right.

Don't hurt her, and don't break her heart, or I'll break yours, and I mean

reals.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You're Jane.

Hey, it's Mr. No -Show.

Look, I'm so sorry. Something came up, I couldn't get away.

No problem. You know, I wouldn't have gone anyway.

I only waited around to tell you what scum you are.

You know, Jane, I told you. You told me a lot of things.

None of them true.

Wait, that first night you mistook me for someone else. And you went right

with it.

Someone hired you, paid you to watch out for two guys, a white dude and a

Samoan, right?

If you'll excuse me, I'm meeting someone important here tonight.

Someone who actually is who he said he is. Hey.

I never lied to you. Oh, no.

And I never lied to the guys that come in here looking for Velvet.

Guess we're both real honest people, huh?

Okay.

So, um, who's the guy?

Someone who represents dancers on the Pacific Rim Circuit.

Someone who can make me enough money in a year so that I can retire from this

and start living again.

Wow. Now that sounds too good to be true.

Yeah.

Like a picnic.

Thank you so much for coming.

I hope you like what you see.

I love what I see.

Does this mean I better start learning Japanese?

Right.

I've been looking all over.

Maybe I should have found a better hiding place.

Lester and I go back undercover in the morning.

I had to see you one more time.

You mean one last time.

Don't think of it that way.

But that's the reality, isn't it?

Damn.

I swore I'd never do this.

Do what?

Call for a cop.

Figured you were a mainlander, here and gone. I could allow myself a little

fling.

Way to go, Claire.

So what, you just want to unfeel everything we're feeling?

I can't.

I wouldn't, even if I could.

Does that happen every time you kiss a guy?

Every time.

Sounds like a woman with a heavy load.

Me?

Don't ever play poker, Claire. You suck, liar.

Yeah? Maybe I better quit undercover and go back to traffic, huh?

Be a lot safer.

Actually, I was thinking about transferring, but I was thinking more

I guess you're thinking, oh, maybe Santa Monica?

Well, sounds nice.

Smaller than LAPD. More like here. If you want light here, stay here.

Well, this will always be my home.

And I'm sure I'll come back someday, but there's a big world out there and I'd

love to see it. So take a vacation.

I mean, don't move just because you like that Bobby guy.

Not it at all.

Yeah.

So no matter what happens, the two of you do not break cover until the cow

so. We want you off the island before the bad guys figure out you're on our

team.

He's going to leave us, you know.

What are you talking about?

Bobby.

We want to transfer over here.

He said that?

He's got a lot of scorched earth back home with Corey and his parents, LAPD.

There's a woman, right?

It's Bobby Cruz. There's always a woman.

I heard you met someone.

Sort of.

I heard some admirer tried to buy you jewelry.

Yep. Very flat on.

Yeah, well, of course he vanished without a trace before he could actually

deliver.

Look, Sarge. Bobby, I'm sorry.

That was unfair.

I wish you luck.

Today and beyond.

Same to you.

Yo, aloha, anybody home?

Very much at home.

Well, that's a nice gun.

Looks great. Works better.

I bet. Want to put it down?

Nope.

Okay, you want to tell us why?

I think you know why.

Okay, let me guess.

Two guys came in here after we did, claiming to be us.

You hit the panic button and, um, gee, who did we just give our dope to?

Man's got stones, Chuck.

I'll give you that.

Got that right.

Well, before you go off and do anything stupid, let me tell you one thing. Those

two guys were cops.

Narcs from the mainland.

Bobby Cruz and, um, what was it, Russ Granger?

Right.

Easy.

Just getting some paper.

Huh?

Keanu got tipped us off about these two before we came.

We sort of...

They'll look back on them for you so you can say thank you now.

Nick, they're good.

What's going down?

What did he say?

I didn't trust that big Samoan.

Something about he doesn't trust Cruz?

So now what? You got our stuff?

I ain't landed your stuff. Yeah,

you guys got to understand the island way of doing business, bro.

Yeah, but why don't you explain it to us?

Okay.

First, you show the natives lots and lots of money.

You heard him, Pete. The next thing you know, we'll have yanked brains all over

the window in there.

Uh -oh.

Problem. What? Everything sounds okay.

That's not the problem.

Well, Bucky's the problem.

Bucky, wait.

Let me call the sergeant. Hell, mate. Put on that.

Bucky, no!

Sergeant. Sergeant.

Sergeant Bell is on the move.

Quiet, damn it. They're doing fine in there.

We need instructions.

Damn it. They're out of contact.

Begin a move and keep it loose and breezy and stay on this channel.

You and your damn curse.

Check the back, Nate.

So, um, stuff that's in the fins or the board itself, right?

Better, brah. I'm done with that beast.

Then where the hell is it?

Upcountry.

Packed and ready for your flight.

We'll take a short ride.

Chuck?

We got a fly in the cake.

Whoa, incoming with a gun!

Oh, my... Hurry up and call an ambulance!

Come on, buddy.

He's gone.

No, he's not.

Bucky! Shut up, he's not.

Pete's dead.

He officers. What happened to him?

Next, the Pacific Blue.

I'm trying to talk it down.

Why everyone whacks on my town.

Look around and see.

It works for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in L .A.

Everybody sees more than me.

Anybody thinks she is free.

Someday.

What is it now?

Just another day, oh.
