All language subtitles for 08.09 The Great Hawaiian Adventure Company.eng

This could be the turning
point in our lives.

The Great Hawaiian
Adventure Company!

You don't know what it's
like not to fit in.

Don't you talk to me
about not understanding.

You th�nk I don't know how �t
feels to be lonely and scared?

Champagne?

Uh, great.

Ah!

Bryant's been arrested.

We have h�m �n custody.

Go!

Come on, come on! Go!

Let's go!

Put your hands
where we can see them.

You have the right
to remain silent.

You have the right
to an attorney.

If you can't afford an attorney,

the court will
appoint one for you.

Do you have any questions?

You were very lucky
this time, son, believe me.

Three weeks of community service

is a lot better than doing time,

even at Juvie.

Just give this to the
officer at the front desk.

They'll release your
son to your custody.

Thanks. Let's go.

I'm sorry, Dad.
It won't happen again.

It happens over and over.

He tells you,
"Meet me here at 3:OO, "

and he comes
strolling in here at 4:OO.

Well, I'm gonna tell you
something, this is the last time

I sit around here
and wait for him.

Oh, I doubt
if it's the last time.

We've been threatening him with
"last times" for lots of years.

Well, there comes a time
in every man's life

when you have to
make some changes.

Hey, how's he doing?

What's it like to have your son
with you after all these years?

Have you seen Magnum?

No. We're waiting
for him. He's late.

He left an urgent
message at the estate.

Said it was imperative
that I meet him here.

That's the same message I got.

Well, imperative or not,

I have to be at the post
office before three.

They're holding a registered
letter from my publisher.

The first set of notes
on my memoirs.

Hey, I hope it's good news.

Yeah, so do I.
I've got plans, too.

Again?

You seem to have left work
early every day this week.

Yeah.

You've been looking
pretty good, lately.

So? What's wrong with that?

What's her name? Oh, come on.

Why is it that every
time I have plans,

you seem to think it has
something to do with a woman?

You have got to be kidding.
How long have I known you?

Well, I'm just making some
changes in my life, that's all.

I'm giving myself
a little more time.

Who is she?

You may as well tell him. You're
going to sooner or later anyway.

All right, guys, I'll tell you.

But you can't tell Thomas.

Tell me what?
Thomas! What?

You don't want them
to tell me what?

He doesn't want us to tell
you that you're late. Again.

And I've got to go.

This will only take a second,

and you'd hate yourselves if
you didn't hear my proposal.

Proposal?

Yes. For

the Great Hawaiian
Adventure Company.

One minute. That's all
I'm gonna give you.

That's all I need, T.C.

And believe me, you
will not regret this.

Gentlemen, this could be

the turning point

in our lives.

A venture that will
not only give us all

a little bit
of financial security,

but a new challenge in life.

A reason for getting up in the
morning and starting the new day.

The Great Hawaiian
Adventure Company!

Or "Great Hawaiian
Expeditions."

You know, I'm not sure which
one I really like better,

but that's not
important right now.

We'll figure out
the details later.

At any rate, this company,

founded by us, and run
by us, and owned by us,

will begin to return our financial
as well as time investment

almost immediately.

Wait! No, T.C.! Come on, you
haven't heard my market research.

No. I heard "investment."
That's enough for me.

Well, not... Well, all
right, take this tape.

It explains all the details,
your participation,

and you're gonna
thank me one day.

See you later. I gotta go.
I already have my tape.

Rick...

Demographics.

Demographics are a
largely misunderstood

and underused tool
in today's marketplace.

Yes, I see.

For instance, nearly
89O_ of all tourists

come to Hawaii
fully expecting the...

Higgins, you forgot your tape!

Demographics.

Demographics are
a largely misunderstood

and underused tool
in today's marketplace.

Demographics.

L know
what you're th�nk�ng.

But th�s t�me, you're wrong.

I wasn't look�ng to get a �ob,

or f�nd a new l�fe d�rect�on,

or anyth�ng l�ke that.

But great �deas only come along
once or tw�ce �n a l�fet�me.

And th�s one was def�n�tely
worth pursu�ng.

"Adventures in Paradise"?

No. Ooh! That's too cute.

Hi. Can I help you?

I have an appointment with Sarah Amlin.
Thomas Magnum.

Thomas Magnum.
Okay, right this way.

What about
the employee pension fund?

Right, right.

What?

Miss Amlin, it's your
OO appointment.

OO already?

Yes, I'm here. She'll
be right with you.

Thank you. Sorry.

No, that's not the percentage
we talked about. No. Mmm-mmm.

Uh, just sit anywhere.

Oh.

I'm sorry, Doug. No. No, those
figures, they just don't work for me.

Okay.

Call me back.

Yes, I'll be here.

Sounds like trouble.

Well, these things have a way
of working themselves out.

It's been my experience
that most big corporations

have their own little
intricate set of troubles.

It's not the airlines.
It's my divorce.

Oh! Well, there's nothing
like a little work

to help you
forget your problems.

Yeah, I guess so.

So, you said on the phone you
have a proposition for Paradise?

Yes. The Great Hawaiian...

The Great Hawaiian
Adventure Company.

It's a specialized tour package.

We bring the people
to Hawaii on your airline,

at a discounted rate, of course

and then, take them on their
fantasy tour of paradise.

Freddy!

What? I beg your pardon?

My husband, Fred.

He had a different get-rich-quick
scheme for every day of the week.

Oh, this isn't...

"The really great ideas only come along
once or twice in a lifetime, " he'd say.

Well, there's
some truth to that.

Meanwhile, we threw money away

on every impossible dream, one
after the other, and I just...

I iust finally got sick
of supporting him.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah. But this is not
an impossible dream.

I have the manpower,
the concept is solid,

and I think the demographics
and the market research.

is something
you'll find very interesting.

Your lawyer on line two.

Excuse me.

Hold one minute, Doug.

Look, Mr. Magnum.

Thomas.

Thomas, I'm not sure what Paradise
would get out of your proposition.

Well, I've outlined
everything in detail

in this report
that I've drawn up.

Well the thing is, I'm very
busy right now, and...

Yes, but if you'll
just read the report.

You won't be sorry.

Well, if you wanna stop back by

after the rest of the business
world goes to dinner...

I'll be here.

OO?

On the nose.

Thank you.

Okay, Doug, I'm back.

No, the house is mine!
We agreed to that.

I don't care what I signed!
Can't you explain it away?

Duress or something? Fraud?

Well, how'd it go today?

All right.

You got any good tapes?

Yeah, maybe one or two.

You know, I was just thinking,

maybe that iob you got
at the hospital,

it might do a lot
of good for you.

H�, T.C.!
Welcome to "Parad�se found!"

What's this?

Your job, should you...

Just some project that Magnum
wanted to talk to me about.

You know, I think
that's one of the reasons

why you got in trouble
at your mom's.

Too much time after school
with nothing to do.

I made a mistake, okay?
I'm paying for it, aren't I?

That's not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying

is that you're
staying with me now,

things are gonna be done
a little bit differently.

You know, I think that this community
service thing that the judge gave you,

well, maybe it ought to be
something that you should pursue.

I guess. The only thing is,

I don't want to spend all
my spare time over there.

I thought when I came here,
we'd have some time together.

To do stuff.
You know, you and me.

Well, I mean, you know we're
gonna do lots of that.

I didn't invite them here.

The po�nt �s,
H�gg�ns, no one on the �sland

has a sense of h�story
that can match yours.

Your sense of
dramat�c fla�r, your...

Well, you get my dr�ft. Anyway,

we p�ck the tour�sts up
at the a�rport,

wh�sk them out to the estate for
a br�ef h�stor�cal perspect�ve,

courtesy of
Jonathan Quayle H�gg�ns.

This is
absolute balderdash.

And then, after a tour
of the grounds...

"The persona is too obiective,
lacks emotional involvement."

Of course it lacks
emotional involvement!

That's precisely how I wrote it.

How could a British
army officer function

if he were forever
getting emotionally involved?

It's absurd.

What kind of cretins are they
hiring as editors these days?

Naturally, I'd like to be
published. Who wouldn't?

But at the expense
of destroying the material?

We w�ll be p�cked
up by T.C# s hel�copter

for an aer�al or�entat�on.

Now, that g�ves you a chance

to get everyth�ng back �n
order for the second group.

Now, I know at f�rst,

there probably won't be any
more than one group a day.

However...

"imagine you're sitting at home
in White Bear Lake, Minnesota."

"it's freezing outside."

Mr. Magnum? In here!

Hello.

Well, I was never any
good at apologies, so

I hope you'll accept this dinner

as my way of saying, "I'm sorry for
being such a jerk earlier today."

Oh!

Well, you weren't a jerk.

No, we had an appointment.

I let my personal life
get in the way of business.

So now I'm letting business get
in the way of my personal life.

I don't mean that
having dinner with you

would in any way interfere
with my personal life.

Could we start over?

Of course.

The report was very interesting.

You read it?

Dinner will be ready
in seven minutes.

Champagne? Uh, great.

Ah!

Oh, my God! Are you all right?

No, I'm fine. I'm fine, really.

Maybe, uh, No, I'm just...

you'd like to come back tomorrow?
I'm fine! Really.

No, I think it's better that I
make my presentation tonight.

Who knows what
tomorrow will bring?

Right. Good. Okay.

So I'll iust...
Yeah, yeah. Just...

Go right ahead.

Imagine you're sitting at home

in White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

It's freezing outside.

The temperature is five
degrees below zero

with a wind chill
factor of minus 20.

You are wh�sked away from the
�ce and snow v�a Parad�se A�rl�nes

to the sun-k�ssed shores of
the beaut�ful �sland of Oahu,

the most famous
of all the Hawa��an Islands.

What's that?
That was a mistake.

I meant to turn on some music.

Hey,
Cleo, can I help you with anything?

Yeah, pour the champagne.

Okay.

You look beautiful.

Thanks. I thought
I heard Thomas's voice.

Yeah, you did. It was on a tape.

Oh! You're working
on a case together!

That sounds very exciting.

No. He's got some scheme
he wants me to invest in.

That guy is so smart.

Did I ever tell you about the time
he came to me for some information

about this guy that's on
the board of regents?

Yes, Cleo. Oh, God.

We stayed up all night staking
this guy's house out.

I have never had so much
fun in my whole life.

Yeah. Thomas is a real card,
that's for sure.

You know, you sure are lucky

to have a guy like that
for a best friend.

Yeah, right. And you
know something?

He doesn't even seem to mind
about what I do for a living.

You know, being a
working girl and all.

Oops! Crepes are ready.

I'll be right back.

Cleo,

did you and Thomas ever...

What?

Well...

Did you and Thomas ever...

Forget it. It's nothing.

I just want you to know how much I've
enjoyed the last few weeks with you.

Oh, I have too.

Really?

You're comfortable.

Like being around my brother.

Cleo. Hmm.

What do you say we go
dancing after dinner?

You hate dancing!

Yeah. But hey, a guy can change.

Okay.

H�, R�ck, �t's me.

So here's the part
where you come �n.

You'll p�ck the group up
at the estate

and fly them to a remote area
of the Koolaus,

where I w�ll jo�n them

and take them on a three-day,
two-n�ght adventure �n the backwoods.

Oh you will, will you?

Well? What do you think?

Good investment or wild scheme?

I don't know. Good, I guess.

You're not eating, man.

I'm not really that hungry.

Bryant, you did the
right thing last week.

I mean, telling the police who
really stole the motorcycle.

They think I'm a snitch.

Yeah, but we don't care
what they think.

Look, I know how you feel. I...

Can I be excused?

Bryant, I'm talking to you.

There are gonna have to be
some changes here.

I don't know what you're
used to in L.A.

but you're here now,

and you're gonna have to
start learning discipline,

responsibility,
and common manners.

Go on, go to your room.
We'll talk about this later.

Don't bother
thank�ng me, T.C.

I'm happy to �nclude my good fr�ends
�n on an �dea that can't m�ss.

I think you're right.

You do? Mmm-hmm.

It has good promotional possibilities
for Paradise Airlines.

You get your discount tickets and
we reach a whole new market.

What can I say?

"Yes" would be good.

Well, unfortunately, I'm not
the one who can say "yes."

That's up to
the board of directors.

Of course, I'll give them my
enthusiastic recommendation.

This is turning out
better than I thought.

I mean, you know...

I know what you mean.

Yeah.

The board is meeting
OO.

I'll put you on the
agenda on one condition.

What?

Leave your easel at home.

That's a deal.

Once they make you the
officer of a corporation,

your life is never your own.

Sarah Amlin.

I told you not to call me again.

No. I told you
to talk to my lawyers.

Just a minute.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I really do think
they're gonna go for it.

Great.

Bye.

Bye.

It's no good, Fred.

We've been over this
a hundred times.

What can I say?

Bryant.

Bryant, why do you kids have
to play the radio so loud...

Thanks for the ride.
Hey, take it easy.

After three days and
two n�ghts �n the w�lderness,

our tour�st groups are go�ng to
really be ready for a l�ttle luxury.

We offer them a hot shower,

and then we h�t them
w�th h�gh tea

and g�ve them a chance to recount the�r
adventures �n the w�lderness to you.

And who knows, H�gg�ns? Th�s could
be fodder for another book.

Remembrances of Other People's
Adventures in Paradise.

There's really no end
to the poss�b�l�t�es!

For �nstance, Indeed.

One of the th�ngs
I was th�nk�ng about...

And I suppose I'd be stuck with
more ridiculous notes from editors

about the "dramatic voice"

of that tome as well.

I see.

No.

Thank you. Look, if you
should hear from him...

Thanks.

Bryant? Mr. Calv�n?

Yes? Th�s �s W�ll�am Chun.

I'm afraid Bryant
has been arrested again.

We have h�m �n custody.

I'm on my way.

What happened?

We were taking a joy ride.
No big deal.

No big deal?

Come on. Get me out of here.

I made a mistake, okay?

A mistake?

I won't do it again.

Man, what is wrong with you? You've got
everything in the world going for you.

Do we have to
talk about this here?

Yeah.

Yeah. We do. Maybe this is the one
place you'll have to listen to me.

Oh, man. Bryant, you are not
making little mistakes.

You are screwing up.

You're cutting classes, you're getting
into fights, you're stealing...

Oh, sure, take Mom's side of it.
Don't bother to trust me.

I trusted you tonight.

Are you gonna get me
out of here or not?

No.

No, I'm not.

Dad!

Somewhere along the line, you're
gonna have to start to figure out

that when you mess up
you've got to pay the price.

Now, maybe a night in here will give
you a chance to think about that.

That's great. Just walk out.
That's all you ever do.

When do you pay the price?

Right now.

Rosine, where's Rick?

He's dancing.

Excuse me. Rick?

Cleo! Hi, Thomas!

What are you doing here?

Eh, Thomas, it's not what you think.
She's my guest.

It's been a long time. I know.

Oh, the last time I saw you was...
Behind the, uh...

Right! I'll never
forget that night.

Me, either. You look great.

You do too.

Oh, I heard your tape.
It sounds real interesting.

I might like to get
into that project.

Great!

Yeah, well, we'd like to stand
here and talk to you, Thomas,

but we gotta go. We've got a lot
of things to do. See you later.

Rick! Wait! I wanna talk to you.
About business.

Well, call me at the office.
Hi, T.C. Bye, T.C.

Bye, Thomas! Bye, Cleo!

T.C., can I get you something?

Oh! Yeah, Rosine. How
about a cup of coffee?

Longneck, Thomas? Why not?

I'm glad you're here, T.C. Did you
get a chance to listen to the tape?

Uh, yeah...
Because I think I got

the discounted airline
tickets in the bag.

And that should substantially
raise our profit index.

Good.

Boy! Between you and Rick,

I'm not sure I can
handle the enthusiasm.

Thanks.

You know, you wanna learn
to fly the helicopter,

you read some books, you take some
classes, you make a few mistakes,

you pick yourself up and you try again.
Before you know it,

you flying.

You don't worry about

whether you're gonna be the best
helicopter pilot in the world, or,

"Are you going to inadvertently
do something wrong"

"and ruin the helicopter
for life?"

Now who's talking around
what they wanna say?

You have a natural
talent for flying, T.C.

Yeah.

Yeah well, you also have
a natural talent with kids.

So I guess the trick is to just

know when to put down
the book and just fly,

on gut instinct.

That's what I tell my kids

when I'm coaching them.

I think that's where I heard it.

Okay! About the tape.

What do you think about
"Rainbow Excursions"?

Sorry, Thomas. I've got something
I got to take care of.

Oh, Rosine, can I have
my check, please? Sure.

I'll put it on my tab.

Yeah.

Your tab for tonight,

and, uh,

these will bring you up to date.

What do you think
of "Paradise Found"?

For what?

Imagine you're sitting at home
in White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

It's freezing outside.

The temperature is five degrees below zero
with a wind chill factor of minus 20...

As a f�nal memento, I thought
we could g�ve them a photo d�ary.

Photos I could take,
H�gg�ns, w�th your...

I mean, Rob�n's camera.

So! That's about �t,
let me know what you th�nk.

Extraordinary.

Maybe you're not
such a wimp after all.

You did okay tonight,
with the cops.

You stood up
to your old man, too.

Maybe we'd consider
jumping you in,

if you wanna belong.

Of course, you'd have to
do something for us first.

Like what?

J Like boost a car on your own.

Unless you can't hack it.

Well, what would you do with it?

What we always do.
Break it down for parts.

Bryant Calvin? Your father's
here to pick you up.

We'll be looking for you.

Imagine you're sitting at home

in White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

It's freezing outside.

The temperature is
five degrees below zero

with a wind chill
factor of minus 20.

Thanks, anyway, Higgins.

What waits for you is balmy
breezes, warm tropical waters,

blue skies, a dream come true.

Oh, that's good, Son.

Nothing like a little elbow
grease to get her shined up, huh?

Yeah.

Boy, you sure got a lot of
stuff stored on the dock.

A couple of trips
ought to take care of it.

What is it?
Mostly food and stuff?

Oh, no.

Auto parts, appliances,
other merchandise.

I'm taking it
to the Outer Islands.

Hey! What's this sudden
interest in the business?

I don't know. Maybe I'll start
my own charter company.

Compete with you.

Whoa!

That's probably Thomas
calling to say he's late.

I'll get it.

Leland Hoppers.

Um, Budge?

Yeah. No, I haven't
actually been able to.

No, I'm going to!

What if I could iust
get you the auto parts?

New ones!

No! But... Wait!

Thomas Sullivan Magnum?
Is that you?

Can't be!

I mean, all dressed up,
and on time?

You can laugh all you want, T.C.

When we're millionaires, you'll
be singing a different tune.

How're you doing, Bryant? Okay.

Yeah. Your dad tells me you're
working part-time at a hospital?

Yeah. It's okay, I guess.

Well, I don't want to be
late for my appointment

with the board of directors
of Paradise Airlines at 3:OO,

which is why I came here, T.C.

I'm not going to any
meeting with you.

No, I wouldn't ask you to!

I wouldn't ask you to at all.

I just need to go over my
sales pitch one more time.

You know, make sure
it's perfect.

You don't mind if I steal your dad
away for a couple of minutes,

do you, Bryant? No.

T.C.?

Imagine you're sitting at home
in White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

It's freezing... How do I let
myself get into these things?

That's it?
That's the whole pitch?

Yeah. So what do you think?

I think I can understand why you're trying
to make such a drastic change in your life.

It's not a drastic change, T.C.

Yes, it is.

But whatever I can do
to help, I'll be glad to do.

So, how are things
here with Bryant?

I don't know. We're still
in flight school together.

I think we're making headway.

Bryant?

I don't think so.
Zodiac's missing.

He can't handle that boat
in this water.

Not by himself.

He won't go far,
the tank's almost empty.

Oh, looks l�ke
the eng�ne stalled.

W�thout an eng�ne the w�nd's gonna
wash h�m r�ght up on the rocks.

Another gust of w�nd and
we'll go �nto the cl�FFs.

You can drop me.
I'll br�ng the boat �n.

No. Too r�sky.

If we get too low, the rotor
blades w�ll chop up the sea

and turn h�m over.

Damn �t! He's over!

Help!

I'm gonna get you out of here.

Bryant, I need you
to hold on to me. Okay?

Okay.

Come on. Come on!

They wanted me to steal a car

so I could belong to their gang.

But I didn't do it.

You don't know what it's like
not to fit in.

To be scared.

So you run off
and risk your own life

to join some motorcycle gang.

I knew you wouldn't understand.

Hey, you wait a minute. Don't you
talk to me about not understanding.

You think I don't know how it
feels to be lonely and scared?

I've been to those places
lots of times.

But it's what you do when
you're feeling that way

that says something about you.

Yeah, but... You wanna belong?

You already belong.
You belong to your family.

To me, your mother, your sister.

Did you even stop to think
what it would've meant to them

if something
had happened to you?

You always want people to
accept you and take you in,

but you don't want to have any
responsibility toward them.

Now, I got a gang of kids playing
baseball every Saturday.

You can join them.

Or I'll tell you what. You
stated your case pretty good,

so why don't you hang out with the
guys on the debating team at school?

If you wanna ruin your life

by trying to belong to some
tired motorcycle gang,

well, that's up to you.

But don't expect me
to feel bad for you.

I almost lost my son today.

You gonna send me home?

I don't know.

I'd like to stay.

Eat the chicken soup.

It's supposed to be
good for you.

Yeah, sure. I understand, Sarah.

Of course.

He had the exact
same idea I had, huh?

Yeah!

It is a coincidence.

Yeah...

Yep. You too.

Missed your meeting, huh?

Well, it's no big deal. You know the
woman I talked to about the tickets?

Her ex-husband, Fred,
had the same idea.

And they've decided
to go with him.

Now what?

Well in th'e words of my
great-grandfather, Patrick,

"Regroup, " T.C.

"Don't let the first setback
set you back."

Onward and upward.
I'm calling another meeting.

Hi, Loni. Hi, Thomas.

Hey Thomas, T.C# s
not gonna make it.

He went fishing with Bryant.

But I gotta talk to you.

Well that's why I came here, to go over
all this stuff with you and Higgins.

Where's Higgins?

Never mind Higgins, and
never mind all that stuff.

Sit down here. I got
something to say.

Oh!

Look, here's the deal.
It's sort of hypothetical,

but let's say that you were me.

Strike that. Let's
say that I were me,

which of course I am.

I mean, the point is, it shouldn't
matter what someone has done,

or hasn't done, or with whom,

or even if you know who.

I mean, as far as I'm
concerned, it never happened.

I'm sure that it probably
really didn't ever happen.

But if it did, I don't wanna know.
Okay?

Okay.

And I'd appreciate it

if you'd never
bring it up again.

You can count on it.

I'm glad we got that settled.

I'm late. I gotta go. I
gotta go to a dance class.

Dance class? Yeah.

Cleo and I signed up
for Arthur Murray.

Cleo?

See you later, Thomas. Rick!

Cleo?

Higgins! Well, I knew you
wouldn't disappoint me.

Indeed not.

The only ones who are going to be
disappointed are your publishers.

My publishers?

Well, you are the one who sent them
my memoirs in the first place.

Unfortunately, Magnum, I've
discovered an entirely new tack

to take on the book.

A more emotionally
involved direction.

It's quite exciting.

I'm going to rewrite
the whole thing

and put it up for a bidding war.

That's great!

I wanted to tell you before I sent
their check back out of courtesy.

Well, thank you. I guess we
can get down to business now.

I'm afraid not. I must get back, Magnum.
There's months of work ahead

but it will be worth it.

I sense that this new approach will bring
every publishing house in the world

to its knees.

That's great.

Goodbye, Magnum.
