You basically love this man
and you want me to prove
he has feet of clay?

| want more than anything
in the world for you
to prove that I'm wrong.

This $100 bill that dropped
out of the flower box

that Hayes was trying
to give you.

Case dismissed.

Thank you, Your Honor.

It's not liberal conduct.
That's misconduct.

Do you have
some kind of hard evidence
against me, counselor?

Something that will stand up
in court?

Why is he doing this?

I'm not gonna insult Ice Pick
by talking to him
about this stuff.

You are unless you want him
to end up in jail
for a murder he didn't commit.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

RICK:
It was January 23, 1958.

| was 12 years old,
and my kid sister Wendy
was five.

My mom and dad
had just been killed
in an automobile accident,

and my aunts and uncles
were all arguing

about who was gonna
have to take care
of Wendy and me.

Well, any other kid
probably would've been scared,
but | wasn't.

| knew Mom and Dad
would've been happy
wherever they were,

as long as they were together.

| knew Wendy and !
would be okay
wherever we were,

as long as we were together.

But the one thing
that | couldn't stop
thinking about

was how, if | was somebody,

| could have afforded
to get some flowers
for the funeral.

Boy, | wanted to give them
some flowers.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

How you doing? You okay?

You take care of your sister.

Who's that man?

Francis Hofstetler.
They call him Ice Pick.

Ice Pick.

RICK: Something like that,
you never forget.

He was true to his word, too.
He came by every Easter
and Christmas, and...

And never forgot
your birthday.

Or Wendy's.
And when | was 14...

He pulled strings
to get you
into military school.

Guess | told you guys
that story before.

(CHUCKLES) A couple of times.

Hey, the guy
was like my father.

You don't have to explain
why you want to throw him
a big birthday party.

| think
it's a great idea.

Yeah, so do |.

There you are.
I've been looking
all over for you.

The board of directors
are meeting at noon,

and the room hasn't been
set up yet.

(PAGER BEEPING)

I've gotta call
my friend in Maine

about shipping
the live lobsters.

| don't recall
adding Maine lobster
to the Club's menu.

I'm late. | gotta meet Carol
at the courthouse
in half an hour.

What is going on?

Are you gonna testify again?

No. She just had this case
she wanted me to observe.

There is definitely
something going on here,

and | will not rest
until | get
to the bottom of it.

Well, you know Carol.

She probably has
this dazzling defense
she wants to show off,

and | was the only person
she could think of to impress.

I'll be tied up all day,
probably.

KEARNS: Case dismissed.

(GAVEL BANGS)

CAROL: But, Your Honor...

The defendant
is released from custody.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Your Honor,
may we approach the bench?

| would suggest that your time
would be better spent
approaching a law library.

Perhaps there
you can acquaint yourself

with Article IV
of the Bill of Rights,

which protects us all
against unlawful search
and seizure.

Your Honor,
| am very well acquainted
with the Bill of Rights.

Court is recessed till 2:00.

BAILIFF: All rise.

Better luck
next time, Carol.

KO'ed on a technicality?

Hmm?

Oh, that. Yeah.

Well, you win some,
you lose some.

Lunch?

What?

Well, there's no point
in you making the trip

all the way downtown
for nothing.

Oh, no, no. Thanks anyway.

Are you too busy
for lunch?

No offense, Carol,
but | Know you.

Now, you're gonna spend
the entire lunch hour

talking about the judge
and how incompetent he is

and how some
obviously guilty defendant

shouldn't get off
on a lousy technicality.

And you're right,
you're 100% right.
| agree with you.

But I'm sorry, I'm just not
in the mood today.

This is the fourth case
of mine that he has dismissed
in two months.

Well, sometimes
you get on a losing streak.

Over nothing?

He wouldn't even let me
present my case.

Well, I'm not saying
that he's been fair with you.
| just...

Maybe could you consider
that in these four cases,
that you,

you know, might possibly
have not had
that strong a case?

Could you consider that?

No.
No.

| have considered that.
That's not it.

You don't think | would have
asked you to come
all the way down here

just to see
if | did my homework?

Why did you ask me
to come down here?

Thomas,
if it weren't for Hannibal,
| wouldn't even be a lawyer.

Wait a minute. You lost me.

What does some guy
crossing the Alps

have to do
with you becoming a lawyer?

No, no, no,
not that Hannibal.

Hannibal Kearns. Judge Kearns.

He was a tough teacher,
but, oh, he was good.

He was fair and honest,
somebody to look up to.

And now | don't know.

Lately he's been spending
more money than he makes,

he's throwing out cases
he would've never dismissed
in the past,

and he will not talk to me.
| don't Know what to think.

Well, you might think
that he made a killing
in the stock market,

he suddenly developed
a liberal streak,

and he's run out
of small talk.

Any judge that shuts the door
on the prosecuting attorney's
office

before we even have a chance
to present our case...

It's not liberal conduct.
That's misconduct.

Well, have you gone
to the Review Board
or the Ethics Committee?

No.
No.

Well, because | don't have
any proof.

Maybe that's why
| asked you
to come down here,

because | thought
if you would just
follow him around, maybe...

Wait a minute.

Now, what you're saying
is that you basically
love this man,

and you want me to prove
he has feet of clay?

No.

| want more than anything
in the world for you
to prove that I'm wrong.

CAROL: | just can't figure out
why he would be taking money.

He certainly has
a well-paying job.

What's a nine-letter word
for "completeness,"
second letter, "N"?

Oneness.

That's only seven letters.

His house is paid for.

Here we go.

Be careful.
Don't let him see you.

| have done this
a few times.

Sorry.

MAGNUM:
Ordinarily I'd consider
an all-day surveillance

a dull way
to spend a Saturday,

but there was
a very good reason

to spend a day
watching Judge Kearns,

and it had to do
with General Grant.

He was my high school coach,
and he wasn't really
a general.

He was
a retired Marine colonel.
Warren McKenzie Grant.

General Grant
didn't exactly take me
under his wing,

more like under his thumb.

But it was the closest | came
to having a mentor,

and even though
he was far from perfect,
I felt a loyalty to him

! couldn't really explain.

Haircut.

Just doesn't make any sense.

It seems like
a perfectly reasonable thing

for a man to do
on a Saturday.

No, no, no,
| mean about the money.

You want
your crossword puzzle back?

Normally at this stage
of a stakeout,

| break out
the battery-operated
video games,

but since you're here,
20 questions.

Oh, no, 20 questions?

No, 20 questions!
| think of a person,
living or dead,

and you try
and guess who they are
in 20 questions.

Thomas...
Yes or no only.

Okay, go ahead.
I've got someone.

I'm not exactly
in the mood
to play games, Thomas.

Games? This isn't a game.

It is an exercise
in deductive thinking.

Keeps the old
reasoning process sharp.

Very important
in my line of work.
First question.

Is this person alive?

No. That's one down
and 19 to go.

MAGNUM: Seventeen down
and three to go.

CAROL: Eisenhower!
No.

That's 18 down
and two to go.

But you said
he was responsible
for ending World War II.

In a way, he was.

Uh-oh.

CAROL: Oh, no.

Looks like we're gonna
be here for a while.

Hannibal loves to spend hours
in the bookstore.

That's 18 down
and two to go.

Okay. Well, let's see.

If it isn't Eisenhower
and it isn't Patton, then...

| don't Know. | give up.

General Grant.

Oh, come on.
You're a couple wars behind.

Not Ulysses.
Warren McKenzie Grant,
my high school coach.

Your high school coach?

In his own way,
he influenced the war.

| am supposed to guess
your high school coach?

Well, if you're not ready
for the advanced level...

That's not advanced,
that's cheating.

No, it's not cheating,
it's misdirection.

And | got you to quit
obsessing on Judge Kearns
for a couple of minutes.

All right, I've got one.
You ask.

I'm hungry. How about you?

No, no, no, come on.
Living or dead,
male or female.

Come on,
give it your best shot.

I'm no good at this
on an empty stomach.

Now, why don't you grab us
a couple of burgers?

| hate burgers.

All right, grab one for me
and you can have anything
you want. I'm buying.

No.

What? You said we were gonna
be here for a while.

Now, | need
two double cheeseburgers,
plain.

All right.
Now, that's just plain.

Nothing on the bun,
no lettuce, nothing.

I'll be right back.

But don't think
you're getting out of this.

Start racking your brain.
You're gonna need it.

MAGNUM: "The blonde
was pretty, but too pale,

"and her thin,
high-arched eyebrows

"gave her face
a Startled look."

Oh!

(INAUDIBLE)

Do you believe that?
He never eats fast food.

It's a rule with him.
Who could have guessed
he would go in that store?

You suppose he suspects?
Where are we going?

Just far enough away
so he thinks we're gone.

What's he doing
at the Flower Mart?

Probably taking a break
from his all-day crime spree.

Thomas, look.

That's Donald Hayes.
That's the defendant
from yesterday's trial.

What's going on?

Hey.

Hey!

Get away from him!

You all right?

No trouble.
Please don't bring
trouble here.

CAROL: I'm just glad
we were there to help.

As soon as you feel stronger,
we're gonna take you
to the police.

You can file
an assault charge.

I'm not going to the police.

Then I'll call them
and have them come here.

You have witnesses.
We're not gonna let him
get away with this.

Look, this is none
of your business.

What were you fighting
with Donald Hayes about?

What the hell were you doing
following me all over town?

| asked him to.
| was worried about you.

Well, you didn't have to be.

Look,

Oliver Wendell Baldwin,
did | stick my nose
into your business

every time | worried about you
during law school?

Why won't you answer
Thomas’ question?

Look, | appreciate
you patching me up,
but if you don't mind...

Hannibal, if you're
in some kind of trouble,
| want to help.

If it means
going to the Review Board,
I'll go with you.

Why? Do you have
some kind of hard evidence
against me, counselor?

Something that will stand up
in court?

Or you, sir?

No. Just a hunch.

And observation.

And a great deal of concern.

Which smells a lot
like harassment to me.

There's also this $100 bill
that dropped out
of the flower box

that Hayes was trying
to give you.

Hannibal, | know
this is very hard on you,

but |...

| mean, don't you think
that if I've seen
the changes...

| think what she's trying
to say is...

Well, look, if Carol
has seen certain shifts

in your lifestyle
and your professional conduct,

| mean, don't you think
it's just a matter of time

before other people
start seeing it, too?

Why did you meet Donald Hayes?
What were you fighting about?

It was a chance encounter.

He wanted
to contribute some money
to Hawaii Legal Aid.

| told him to go through
channels. He...

He got angry.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
it's been a very long day.

CAROL: Why is he doing this?

He's not doing it
to you, Carol.

He's doing it to himself.
| know.

But what am | supposed to do?
Stop him for his own good?

Or look the other way
and become a partner to it?

| don't Know.

Integrity.
It's a nine-letter word
for completeness.

Integrity.

8:00, and don't be late.
Okay, I'll see you here.
Thanks. Bye.

| got people
coming to this party

that Ice Pick hasn't seen
in 20 years.

| hope he still
recognizes them.

Are you kidding?
He's gonna faint.

He may not be
the only one.

Have you asked Higgins
about this party yet?

Oh. Hey, Thomas,
| need your help
with something.

Do you remember me
telling you about
Ice Pick's girlfriend, Grace?

The only woman
he ever really loved.

That's right.
And I've been talking myself
blue in the face,

but | cannot convince her
to come to the party.

Then that's one less
phone call
you'll have to make...

Higgins...

...when you call everyone
to cancel the party.

Oh, come on, Higgie.
You can't make him
cancel this party.

He's got people coming
from Chicago, Miami.

Everything's all planned
for tomorrow night...

Then it will simply
have to be un-planned.

The board of directors
will not approve a party

honoring someone
of Ice Pick’'s
dubious reputation.

They can't tell me
who | can and who | can't
throw a party for.

They wouldn't dream of it.
They're simply telling you
it can't be here.

They might reconsider
if you asked them, Higgins.

As a kind of personal favor?

Higgins,

did | ever tell you
about the time

that Ice Pick brought flowers
to my parents’ funeral?

It was January 23, 1958.

| was 12 years old,
and my sister, Wendy,
was five.

My parents
had just been killed
in an automobile...

MAGNUM: Warren McKenzie Grant.

| bet it had been five years
since I'd even
thought about him.

But for some reason,
his presence had been
with me all day.

It wasn't just a matter
of remembering things
about him.

It was more a matter
of seeing things in myself
that he'd drummed into me,

and recognizing
that at least a small part
of Thomas Sullivan Magnum

was pure
Warren McKenzie Grant,
for better or worse,

and realizing that even though
disillusionment had replaced
hero worship over the years,

| missed him.

! really didn't know
what I'd do if | were faced

with the decision
Carol had to make
about aman

who had influenced her life
so much.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

CAROL: (VOICE BREAKING)
Thomas, I'm at
Judge Kearns' house.

Carol, what's wrong?

Carol.

Oh, Thomas.

(SOBBING)

TANAKA: | can tell you
right now what the report's
going to say.

Judge Kearns
committed suicide.

| won't believe
it was suicide.

I'm sorry, Carol.
Everything points to it.

Nothing points to it.

This was not the kind of man
who would take his own life.

Look around you.

The photo album,
the empty bottle of whiskey,

the nickel-plated .38
with only his fingerprints
on it.

No forced entry.

No suicide note.

Even so,
this is a classic case
of suicide.

Maybe. Or maybe somebody
wants us to think it is.

You told me yourself
you thought that he was
taking payoffs.

Looks to me like
he spent the night

going through his scrapbook
of achievements

and realized
he couldn't live
with the scandal

of being caught
with his hand
in the cookie jar.

Why did he leave a message
on my answering machine
to come and see him

if he was planning
to pull the trigger?

Why did he write
a letter of resignation

if he wasn't going to
be around?

TANAKA: Even if he resigned,
he'd still have to
face criminal charges.

| think he wanted to confess
and get it all out
in the open.

| know how difficult
this is for you,

but | have to have more
to go on than your gut feeling
about this.

All right.

How about the fact
that over the past six months,

Hannibal has let
three defendants off
on technicalities,

and all three of them
worked at Hoku Florists?

How about the fact that
this was the second time
Donald Hayes came up

before Judge Kearns
in the last year,

and it was the second time
that he was let off?

I've been at my office
most of the night
going through the files.

That's why | missed his call.

Lieutenant, | Know this points
more to bribery than murder,

but if he was trying to expose
whatever racket they were in,

well, that's a motive
for murder.

You gotta have
more than a motive.

Well, we saw Donald Hayes
try to give Judge Kearns
what we think was some money.

A couple $100 bills
fell to the ground.
| still have one of them.

| gave the other one
to Judge Kearns.
Did you find one on the body?

No.

Well, then,
as far as | can tell,

nobody's seen it
since his death.

Now, that may not
mean anything,
but then again...

All right, I'll go by
and talk to Hayes.
Now, ask around.

If anything new comes up,
give me a call.

You still
don't have a case.

| know.

Excuse me.

| always loved this back yard.
It seemed so peaceful.

Carol...

| called his sister in Tulsa
and his son on the Big Island,

and they're both
flying in tonight.

They want
the funeral tomorrow.
It just seems so awfully fast.

But | told them that I'd make
some preliminary phone calls.

Carol,

you want to stay at the estate
for a couple of days?

No. | have so much to do.

| want to check out the stuff
at the Hoku Florists.

Now, | know
that the police department...

It's going to be
second priority to them,
and | just...

| understand why. | can't...

Carol,
it is much too dangerous

for you to go down there
and start asking questions.

| owe it to him, Thomas.
| started this.

No, you didn't.
You just got caught up
in the middle.

Thomas,
you know Hannibal,
the other Hannibal,

he committed suicide
rather than surrender
to the Roman army.

I'm not sure
that we'll ever know

if that's
what Judge Kearns did,
but | promise you,

I'll do everything | can
to find out for you.

A good hobby
is absolutely essential

to the well-being
of the psyche,

lifting one's thoughts
above mundane,
day-to-day problems

into a more elevated plane.

Wouldn't you say?

Yeah, | guess so.
Higgins?

You need to ask me a favor.

Yes. It's about...

Rick's party.

In a way. How did you...

It's one of the side effects
of working on a hobby.

Once your entire energy
is focused on an object,
such as this orchid,

the mind is no longer
cluttered with self-concerns,

and therefore more able
to accurately interpret
incoming signals.

Kind of a self-hypnosis.

Oh. Well...

For example,
the moment you walked in,

| instinctively knew
exactly why
you were coming to me.

You did?

But you're too late.

I've already talked
to the board of directors,

and they've agreed,
with some misgivings,

to allow Rick
to hold the party

this one time.

| know.

You know?

But since you're all
self-hypnotized here,
you knew that | knew.

Well, that is, |...

And since you must know

what | really came
to ask you for,

I'll just skip the question
and wait for the answer.

You're right, Higgins.
This staring-at-orchids stuff
really works.

| already know
what the answer is.

GRACE:
Did | hear you correctly?

Twenty-five
floral arrangements?

Yes. And as I'll be doing
all of the arrangements
myself,

I'll need to inspect
each flower personally.

I'm afraid
our selection is a little low
at the moment.

If you would like
to come back
tomorrow morning...

No. That is,
all of the arrangements
are needed for an event

scheduled for this evening.

I'll have to make do
with what you have.

Perhaps we could start
with heliconias.

(INAUDIBLE)

"The south wind
searches for the flowers

“whose fragrance
late he bore..."

"And sighs to find them
in the wood
and by the stream no more."

William Bryant.
The Death of the Flowers.

Precisely.

We have a large supply
of chrysanthemums.

"Full many a flower
is born to blush unseen..."

"And waste its sweetness
on the desert air."

Elegy written
in a Country Churchyard.

One of the first poems
| ever committed to memory,

but perhaps
never fully appreciated
until this moment.

You have more than enough here
for 25 arrangements.

Well, one can never be
too prepared.

Perhaps we should
go through
the red ginger again.

I'll leave you
to go through them
while | start the paperwork.

Where are you going?

To the office,
to get the invoices.

| wonder if | might ask you
a question first
about these vases here?

| believe | prefer
the design of this one,

yet the color of the other one
is SO much more compatible
with the red ginger.

On the other hand,
| believe the bird of paradise
arrangement

would do quite nicely
in this.

Oh, Donald,
get me a book of invoices
from the office.

Sure.

Well, perhaps you would like
to take all three?

Hmm?

(STAMMERING) Actually,
| don't think I'll take
any vases at the moment.

I'll just...

ls something wrong?

Oh, no. No, no.
Everything's fine.

If you'll write up the order,

I'd like to charge it
to the King Kamehameha Club.

I'm chairman
of the board of directors.
Jonathan Quayle Higgins.

Grace Chang.

Pleased to meet you.

CAROL: Grace Chang
is into everything.

Extortion,
prostitution kickbacks...

Boy, | wonder if Rick
has any idea

that Ice Pick's one true love
is fronting these racketeers.

Surely there must be
some other explanation.
She hardly seems the type.

Look at this.
A chain of title

showing common ownership
of The Sea and Sand on Kuhio.

The Sea and Sand?
Isn't that...

Hooker central.

Here's a record
of the payments
they made to Hannibal.

Well, this ledger is a record
of payments to William Paoa.

Might as well add murder
to their list of activities.

Paoa has a reputation
of being the best hit man
on the Island.

The last entry was today.

Well, that lends credibility

to the theory
that Judge Kearns
was murdered.

They're not gonna
get away with this.

We have enough information
here to put Donald Hayes away
for a very long time.

| don't think so.
None of the titles come back

to Grace Chang
or to Donald Hayes.

Francis Hofstetler?

Oh, my God.

Ice Pick.

It's not possible.

Rick...
I'm telling you,
it's not possible.

It's right here
in black and white.

Grace Chang and Donald Hayes
are a front
for Ice Pick's activities.

He's retired.
You know that.

That's what he says.

He did time,
he paid his debt,

and he's been clean
ever since.

Look at these documents.
Oh, you look
at the documents.

| don't have to.
He's my friend, and | know
this is a mistake.

It's a mistake
that could link him to murder,

and maybe Hayes and Grace
as accessories.

Let me tell you something,
Thomas.

Ice Pick would never
drag Grace into something
like this.

He loved this woman.
He wanted to marry her.

So you told me.
But that doesn't have
anything to do with...

I'm not finished yet.

He thought his life was over
when she married another man.

And when her son was killed
in a gang war, well,
he took care of everything.

Rick...
And | mean everything!

He got her out of Chicago
and set her up in a business
right here in Honolulu.

You could bet
your bottom dollar, Thomas,

he wouldn't do anything
to hurt her.

I've been looking at this
from the wrong angle.

Yeah, that's what I've been
trying to tell you.
Come on!

What?
We're going to see Ice Pick.

I'm not gonna insult Ice Pick
by talking to him
about this stuff.

You are unless you want him
to end up in jail
for a murder he didn't commit.

Damn you, Thomas!

MAGNUM: The one thing
I'd failed to see,

what it was that the memory
of General Grant

had been trying
to remind me of...

A beautiful fall day,
a football game,

a play that maybe the coach
shouldn't have called.

His star player
was badly hurt.

And Warren McKenzie Grant
never forgave himself
for the young man's injuries.

And when the young man,
confined to a wheelchair,

began taking advantage
of that guilt,

almost everyone understood
why General Grant
let him do it.

Almost everyone
looked the other way

when the General allowed
the young man to cheat
on exams and passed him.

Almost everyone,
except Thomas Sullivan Magnum,

who probably only understood
for the first time today.

It's very good.

Of course,
it'll never stand up
in a court of law,

but it's definitely
professional.

What else
did | sign my name to?

They've left
a pretty substantial trail

for someone to tie you into
prostitution kickbacks...

Marvin, it's okay.
You can leave us alone.

Now, what do you fellas
got in mind?

| want to bring in the person
who killed Judge Kearns.
It's very important to me.

Thomas says they can
tie you into this thing.

| suppose if | didn't
contest these signatures...

But you are gonna contest?

So you take these
to the police.

Is that gonna
bring Judge Kearns back?

Don't you think your debt
to Grace Chang is paid?

| had to tell him.
| had to explain that he...

Grace Chang's boy.
He could've been my son
if things had been different.

| promised her
that I'd see that nothing
ever happened to him.

That was a promise
| couldn't keep.

No one could keep
that kind of promise.

Grace forgave me,
but | didn't.

Not then, not ever.

Letting Grace Chang use you
isn't going to
get rid of that guilt.

Well, the world
isn't gonna end
in the next 12 hours?

No.

You'll hear from me.

Look, Ricky,

| don't have a lot of time
to think this through,

so I'm sorry,
but | won't be able to come to
your surprise birthday party.

How do you always
find these things out?

| want to tell you something.
| deeply appreciate it.

Thanks, Ice Pick.

MAGNUM: "Mentor: A wise
and trusted teacher or guide."

As usual,
Webster's spoke volumes
with just a few words.

Beyond the deceptively
simple definition
was an implied relationship,

student and master.

What the definition
failed to describe
was the ironic twist.

If the relationship
were to grow and mature,

the wise and trusted guide
would inevitably
turn into student,

and the student to teacher.

Sometimes the change
could be painful.

Sometimes the student
couldn't bear to see the chink
in the mentor's armor.

Sometimes the mentor
didn't even realize
that's what he was.

But one thing was certain.

Once the change
in the relationship
started to occur,

there was no way fo stop it
or to go back.

Yes, hello?

| don't want her
picked up by strangers,

but I'll see fo it
that Donald Hayes is there.

| want to talk to her myself.

PRIEST: "From too much
love of living,

"from hope and fear set free,

"we thank
with brief thanksgiving
whatever gods there be

"that even the weariest river

"winds somewhere safe to sea."

MAGNUM: Somehow,
| knew that through all this,

| had wrapped up
some unfinished business

with one of the most
important people in my life.

And | knew that one day,
if not this day,
Carol would, too.
