Wake up, ladies.

Sam Sanford, bright and cheery on a Wednesday morning.

Got something on your mind, you wanna get off your chest?

Give me a call. The lines are open.

Okay, our first caller.

Okay, lady, you're on the air. What's on your mind?

Listen carefully and do not interrupt me.

The son of Byong Sunahara has been kidnapped

and is being held in an airtight capsule

with a limited supply of oxygen.

Unless $ 1.5 million is paid for his release,

Tadashi Sunahara will suffocate

in exactly 52 hours.

- L.P., run a standby tape. Fast. - Instructions regarding payment

are on the coffee table of the Sunahara home.

Okay, officer. Get them out of here.

What have we got, Danno?

The kidnapped boy is the son of one of Japan's leading industrialists.

The family's been vacationing here.

Yeah. We'll get a call from the State Department,

bet on it.

Apparently the houseboy caught the kidnappers in the act.

He also caught one in the back.

Who else was in the house?

Only the mother. The father's in Hilo on business.

We found her unconscious. Doc Bergman's with her now.

Here's the ransom note, Steve.

As you can see, it's dime-store stationery.

They want us to communicate with them on KPOI radio

tomorrow at 12:30.

How did they make their initial contact?

By telephone on a live radio talk show. A woman's voice.

We've arranged a trace for the next call.

A woman?

I'd like a tape of her conversation, Danno.

Right.

I see they want the ransom money dropped off

at Sand Island outflow point, 9:30 a.m. Friday at water's edge.

Okay, let's get a complete set of maps of the area

and station a man there around the clock

to monitor any advance activities.

Right.

Steve?

Looks like they approached in a boat.

You can see where they pulled it up on the beach.

There are two sets of footprints.

Let's get photographs and plaster casts

of the footprints, Chin. Check with the neighbors.

See if anyone heard a shot or saw a boat.

Right.

Doc?

- How is she? - She'll be okay.

Probably will be a little nauseous when she comes to.

I found this piece of gauze.

It's saturated with some kind of anesthetic.

I don't recognize it.

Boy, it's potent stuff.

Get it to the lab. See if Che can find out what it is.

Right.

- Hurry it up, will you? - I'll only be just a minute, all right?

Mankind's salvation will not be found in the stars.

Millions of years ago, man crawled out of the sea.

Now it is time to think of returning to it once again.

I left the space program

shortly after the first successful Mercury mission.

Because I realized then

that all the knowledge gained from space exploration

will be of very much use

to island countries such as Japan, Indonesia and Britain

when their populations explode and they run out of land.

And when that day comes, as it obviously must,

mankind must develop the technology to build underwater cities

that can house these teeming populations of the future.

But before science can attack these problems,

men must be made to see

the absolute necessity for the research.

For the funding of...

Oh, I've run overtime.

Sorry about that.

That will be all for today.

Well?

It didn't go well.

- What? - A servant came in.

Asuko shot him. I think he's dead.

Oh, no. But you assured me...

You assured me there'd be no shooting, no violence.

Phillip... Phillip, it wasn't planned. It was the only way to get the boy.

But murder.

No, l... I'd rather we abandon the whole plan.

It was too late to turn back.

Look, Phillip,

I regret this as much as you.

But what has happened is done.

Try and remember what we have to gain.

The money that we needed for so long,

the money to start the experiments.

Phillip,

Asuko is waiting for me outside.

I'll call you later.

Try not to worry.

My primary concern, Jonathan, is for the boy's safety.

And so is mine.

It's a matter of how the problem is approached.

Any attempt to track down the kidnappers

before the boy is returned, could trigger a rash response.

May I remind you, sir, that they have already killed one man.

There is no reason for them now to spare the life of a boy.

Especially if he's seen them and can identify them.

Steve, I'm only urging caution.

Jonathan, we will exercise caution. Don't worry.

But if we sit by and let these murderers call the shots,

it will be an open invitation to every criminal in the islands.

Keep me posted.

Count on it.

- How is the weather in Washington? - Raining.

Why don't you come to Hawaii and get a little sun?

- You get the boy, I'll be there. - Good.

I spoke to a neighbor

who reported hearing an outboard motor

at about 5:30 this morning.

- And no gunshot? - No.

Neither did anyone else in the area.

- He must have used a silencer. - Yeah.

When is the boy's father due here?

He's on his way now. Duke is waiting at the airport.

Let's hear the tape.

Listen carefully and do not interrupt me.

The son of Byong Sunahara has been kidnapped

and is being held in an airtight capsule

with a limited supply of oxygen.

Unless $ 1.5 million is paid for his release...

That's it.

Chin, send a copy of that tape to the bureau in Washington.

Maybe they have a matching voiceprint in their files.

Tolvar worries me, Paul. I don't think he can take pressure.

Phillip will be all right.

I know him. I know him very well.

I've worked with him.

- I ought to know. - You make sure, huh?

Because we're gonna need him later.

You know? I mean, after the money's been paid.

Look, Asuko, he is in it already.

He designed the capsule, didn't he?

- He's in it all the way. - I know.

Thanks to you, Paul.

Okay.

Shigemi.

- What are you doing here? - I came to see if you're okay.

I'm all right.

Everything is going as planned.

Tolvar, how did he take the shooting of the servant?

He's accepted it.

And Colburn?

There's no problem.

- You're sure? - He's a means to an end, Shigemi.

I like him,

but that won't stand in the way of what we have to do.

I'll see you in a few hours, Asuko.

The chemical from the gauze used on Mrs. Sunahara

- was made from a lionfish. - A lionfish? What's a lionfish?

One of the most beautiful fish in the world.

And one of the most deadly.

Would the venom from one fish be strong enough?

Could be fatal.

But this mixture worked through the respiratory system.

It was distilled from the venom of four or five fish

and then cut with a buffer.

A catalyst induced the anesthetizing vapors.

That's a first for me.

Chin.

Check with the tropical fish places around the island.

See if anyone bought an unusual number of lionfish recently.

- Okay. - Che.

The ransom message said

that the boy was being held in a capsule

with a limited supply of oxygen. Does that suggest anything to you?

It suggests that the capsule is isolated.

Perhaps underground or underwater.

And a limited supply of oxygen would suggest air tanks.

How long would one standard tank last, for instance?

A standard diving tank of 2,000 pounds

of pressure per square inch will last half hour to 45 minutes,

depending upon depth and breathing consumption.

We'll say a half hour.

That's... Would be two an hour times 52.

It would be 104 tanks. That's not likely.

Could the pressure be increased to get, say,

between 5 and 10 hours out of each tank?

Yes, but they would have to be specially built

to withstand the extremely high pressure.

But if they were specially built,

they wouldn't be hard to trace, would they?

Danno, check the local dive shops.

Get as much help as you need. We've got to move fast, huh?

Can I help you?

Five-0. We're trying to locate a man

who might have bought a large number of lionfish recently.

I haven't sold any lionfish for six months.

They're too easy to come by.

Any diver worth his weight in salt

can get them right off Bamboo Ridge at Coco Head.

Thank you.

Sure. About a week ago.

Strangest looking tanks I ever saw.

I asked them what they were for and all he said was special dive.

But they were okay. I mean, the regulators and all were legal.

Did something happen to him?

How many tanks did he have?

- Six. - How big were they?

Big. About 5 foot.

Took a 3500 psi a piece, quarter inch thick tank walls.

- Never seen anything like it. - Did you get the guy's name?

Yeah. I should have it.

Oh, here it is. Doesn't live far from here either.

Paul Colburn.

Did he show you proper identification to verify it?

Sure. Had to. It's a state law. You gotta record each refill.

Thanks a lot.

Mr. Colburn's apartment is upstairs.

But I don't know what you want with him.

- He's a nice man. - We just like to look inside, please.

Well, I don't think I could do that. I don't like to disturb my tenants.

Madam, this is a search warrant,

authorizing us to enter his apartment.

Now, I prefer not to break the door down.

That won't necessary.

- All right. I'll take the key. - Not if it's that important.

Step over there, please.

- Steve, lionfish. - Lionfish.

What's Mr. Colburn done?

We don't know yet. Can you tell us where he works?

He's an assistant professor at the Oahu Pacific Institute.

- Very smart. - We'll need a description of him.

He's slender, very nice looking.

Always polite. Never gives me any trouble.

Pays his rent on time. Never brings any girls here.

That's a character reference, not a description.

How tall is he? What's his age? Is he Caucasian?

What's the color of his hair?

He's blond, about 6 foot.

Why there's Mr. Colburn now.

Officer, stop that man!

Let's go.

I lost him, sir.

Okay, Danno. Put out an APB on Mr. Colburn, a nice man.

Yeah, come in.

- Dr. Tolvar? - Yes.

My name is Dan Williams, Hawaii Five-0.

Oh, yes, Mr. Williams. What can I do for you?

We're looking for some information on Paul Colburn.

I understand he's one of your associates.

Yes, we are working together on a project.

How well do you know him?

Well, we've been associated for sometime.

He was originally a student in one of my classes.

When was the last time you saw him?

I don't know. Few days ago.

Why are you looking for him?

We have some questions to ask him.

Well, I hope he's not in trouble.

If you see him or hear from him, call this number immediately.

Will there be anything else, Mr. Williams?

No, no, doctor. Just make sure you contact us

- if you hear from him. - Yes. Yes, of course.

- Who is it? - It's Paul.

Sit down.

Drink this.

Now, tell me. What happened?

There were police cars in front of my building.

They were just standing there waiting for me.

They saw me. I was lucky to get away.

Don't worry, Paul.

I mean, everything will go the way we want it to.

Everything.

- Yeah, Danno. What have you got? - Got a readout on Colburn.

"Age 29, native Californian.

Graduate, University of California, Berkeley.

Top student."

Spent about a year in Japan doing some graduate work.

- Came to the islands a year ago. - What's he doing here?

He's working with Dr. Phillip Tolvar at Oahu Pacific Institute.

Tolvar? Tolvar? Isn't he the scientist

who predicts that future generations will have to move into the sea?

Right. Tolvar says he doesn't know much about him.

But I have the institute staked out just in case.

Where did you get this information?

Most of it from an interview to the university newspaper

- when he first arrived. - Stay on it, Danno.

Colburn's in this thing.

- Yes? - Mr. Sunahara is here.

What do you say to a man who's son has just been kidnapped?

I don't know, Steve.

Send him in, please.

Mr. Sunahara and his lawyer, Mr. Matsuda.

- How do you do? - Steve McGarrett.

Come in, please. Sit down.

Tell me, do you have any word for me on my son?

I'm afraid there's nothing new, Mr. Sunahara.

But we're scheduled to communicate with the kidnappers tomorrow.

They want an answer to their demands.

I am prepared to pay the ransom, Mr. McGarrett,

but with one stipulation.

I wish to hear the voice of my son.

If he is alive, I will gladly pay any amount.

But if he is dead,

I will not pay tribute to his murderers.

Well, I can see nothing wrong with that request.

Your message will be relayed.

Thank you.

- And now I would like to see my wife. - Of course.

Duke, will you escort Mr. Sunahara to the hospital, please?

I hope your wife is doing well. We'll keep in constant touch with you.

Good morning, this is Sam Sanford.

I have a message for the kidnappers of Tadashi Sunahara.

Mr. Sunahara will not,

I repeat, will not deal with the kidnappers

until he has spoken with his son.

I repeat. Mr. Sunahara will not deal with the kidnappers

until he has spoken with his son.

Now the lines to this station are open for a reply.

KPOI Radio.

I wish to speak to Mr. Sam Sanford.

I have a message from the kidnappers.

Sanford speaking.

Mr. Sunahara may hold his desired conversation with his son

over citizens band three at 4:30 this afternoon

if he will show his good faith by calling off the running dogs.

But be warned.

Mr. Sunahara will never speak with his son again

if Five-0 continues to pursue us.

Hello.

Not enough time, Danny.

Well, at least Mr. Sunahara will get his wish

to talk to his son today at 4:30.

Thanks, Sam.

How's it going, Victor?

I'm checking the positions now, Steve.

Truck 1, report your position.

Truck 1 in position at Pearl City.

Check. Truck 2, report your position.

Civil Defense Truck 2 in position, Kamehameha Heights.

Antenna operative.

Truck 3, please report your position.

Truck 3 in position at Punchbowl.

- All trucks in position, Steve. - Thank you.

Mr. Sunahara, may I remind you, sir,

to try to keep your son on the line as long as possible.

This may be the one and only chance we have to trace his location.

I understand.

Good. Step inside, please.

This is the microphone. Sit down.

Now, I will signal you when we're ready.

Okay, roll the tape. Let me know.

- Ready. - Go.

Tadashi?

Tadashi? This is your father. Speak to me, please.

Father?

Father, I can hear you.

Can you hear me, Father?

Tadashi. Are you hurt? Are they hurting you?

No, Father. I am alone.

- Then you are all right, my son. - One line on, Steve.

I am a little cold, Father.

But...

But I am all right.

You are not alone, Tadashi. Your mother and I are with you.

Steve, the signal is coming

from somewhere around Fort DeRussy.

When do you think I can come home?

Cars five, 12 and 15,

proceed immediately to Fort DeRussy. Silent approach.

Repeat. Silent approach.

Danno, do you read me?

The signal could be coming somewhere

from your immediate area.

Now, we can't pinpoint it yet, but get ready to move.

Steve, we're boxed in. Heavy.

Well, make an end run or something, but get out of there, Danno.

- We're clear, Steve. - Steve, something's wrong.

I can't contact Truck 3. I can't get an exact position on it.

We need that third leg to get an accurate fix, Victor.

Now, keep after it.

Be brave, Tadashi. Everything will be all right.

We're going to have you home very... Very soon.

I am trying to be brave, Father.

The antenna's stuck. Wait.

I think it's turning now. Yes, it's working.

I read a position on Kenhi Street.

All cars, proceed immediately to Kenhi Road. Kenhi Road.

- Danno, can you read me? - Yes, Steve.

The location is not more than two miles

from where you are now.

Father, I am under...

The money is to be delivered by Byong Sunahara

at 9:30 tomorrow morning on Sand Island at the outflow point.

Any departure from these instructions will mean death to Tadashi.

Tadashi. Tadashi.

It's a radio relay setup, Steve.

Receives incoming signals on one frequency

and transmits them on another.

Unfortunately, we were monitoring only one signal, the wrong one.

But how did Sunahara talk to his son?

Well, the kidnappers must have had the radio in the capsule set up

so that they could turn it off and on by remote control.

Does the equipment tell us anything else, Che?

Yes. Judging from the strength of the signal,

we can make a rough assumption

that the capsule is within eight miles of the shed.

Okay. Let's assume that this mark is the shed.

An eight-mile radius would be a circle

like that.

It'd take us weeks to cover that entire area.

Months, Danno. Months.

And we've only got hours.

Okay, let's review the facts once again.

One, we can assume from the evidence

that the kidnappers arrived at the Sunahara home by boat

and left the same way.

Two, one week before the kidnapping,

Colburn filled six custom-made tanks with compressed air.

Three, Colburn is studying oceanography

and four, the boy's last words were, "Father, I am under." Under.

So I think the conclusion is pretty obvious.

- The capsule's underwater. - Right.

Next question is, where is the capsule?

The only section of the ocean

that is within an eight-mile radius of the shed is this area right here.

So the boy must be in the bay off Sand Island.

Should we call harbor patrol and sweep that area?

No, I don't think so, Chin.

It's too dangerous.

If we don't find the boy

and the kidnappers spot us doing it, it's goodbye for the boy.

But call harbor patrol anyway

and ask them to stand by in case we need them.

Get me Commander Fredericks at the Coast Guard, please.

Cape Corwin.

McGarrett to Commander Fredericks.

Stand by.

Commander Fredericks, McGarrett.

Commander Fredericks.

Commander, the kidnappers want the money left

at the water's edge, but, you know, they won't go near it

if they know they're being observed.

So how sensitive is the electronic equipment

that you have for monitoring such an operation?

We have some new electronic equipment that should do the job.

You know it's possible that they'll use a scuba diver

to pick up the money.

This equipment can not only pick up a diver,

it can even monitor his heartbeat.

Good. Good, commander. That's exactly what we need.

We're glad to help. I'll have the ship in position by 0600.

Thank you, sir.

If they do use a diver,

he could rendezvous with a car on one of those back roads.

Yeah, that's a good thought, Danno.

Let's stakeout all surrounding roads.

But I don't want anyone to move in until I give the order.

Steve, that tape was sent to the bureau in Washington.

They found a voiceprint that matches.

It belongs to a woman named Asuko Sunada.

A member of a Japanese terrorist group

that calls itself the Red Army.

Wait a minute. Didn't you say that Colburn had been in Japan?

Yeah. Two years ago doing graduate work.

Yeah. Well, that's it, Danno.

That's the connection.

Well, on his record, I can't see Colburn as a terrorist.

Well, you can forget about past records.

Let's quit, gentlemen.

It's been a long day. Get some rest.

You brief the men, Danno. And I'll meet you at 6 a.m.

- Yeah? - Paul, it's Phillip.

- Phillip. What are you doing here? - Where is Asuko?

Well, I'm meeting her later.

- Why did you come? - Paul, I've gotta talk to you.

This thing has gone too far. We must release the boy.

Release the boy? We're close to getting the money. What...?

At what cost?

A man has been killed. I don't know what's going to happen next

and I am not sure we can trust Asuko.

Asuko has the same goals as we do,

but perhaps a different way of achieving them.

- Are you sure? - Yeah. I'm sure.

Now, you just be ready to meet us in the morning.

Nothing will happen to the boy. I promise you that, Phillip.

Einstein once said, "Mankind's great problem

is a perfection of means, but a confusion of ends."

It's been quiet all evening, sir.

I've got the back roads staked out. You two officers come with me.

This is McGarrett.

Patch me through to Commander Fredericks

of the Cape Corwin, please.

McGarrett calling Cape Corwin.

- Come in, McGarrett. - Commander, any action?

Nothing so far.

We're standing by if you see or hear anything.

Roger.

Mr. Sunahara.

We have evidence that this operation is being conducted

by a radical Japanese organization.

I'm afraid there might be an assassination attempt on you

after the exchange is made.

Now, Mr. Sang Lee here

is a police specialist trained in this sort of work.

He'll be glad to take your place if you wish.

Mr. McGarrett, I appreciate your concern for my safety.

But I would not risk my son's life by a deception

nor will I allow anyone to jeopardize their life for mine.

Well, I don't consider it a deception,

but I understand your decision and I'll abide by it.

All right, gentlemen, let's go.

Cape Corwin to McGarrett.

Yeah, go ahead, commander.

McGarrett, we've picked up a small craft

approximately six miles west of your position

moving east at a high rate of speed.

Very well, commander. Thank you. Keep me posted.

Cape Corwin to McGarrett.

- McGarrett. - We just picked up a diver

heading towards Sand Island.

Right on schedule, commander. Thank you.

They're on their way.

Better get down there.

Take your position.

Don't fire unless I order it.

- Cape Corwin to McGarrett. - McGarrett.

He's dropped the sled.

Thank you, commander.

There is your money. Where is my son?

Do not harm my son. I have done what you asked.

Don't worry, your boy's okay.

You'll be told where to find him before the 52 hours is up.

- Cape Corwin to McGarrett. - McGarrett.

Steve, we've picked up the diver. He's headed towards the boat.

What's the current position of the boat, commander?

Heading towards Diamond Head.

- You think we could intercept? - Negative. Too late.

All right, let's make a sweep.

You'll have to check every buoy and mooring in the harbor.

Right. Come up to 080.

Danno, let's go.

Gentlemen, take Mr. Sunahara home, please.

- Well? - As planned.

Commander Fredericks to McGarrett.

Yes, McGarrett. Come in, commander.

Steve, we've tracked the boat.

It's under the Sand Island Bridge.

Thank you, commander. We're on it. We'll handle it.

There's something up there.

There it is, Danno.

Find out who signed this boat out.

Central, Williams speaking.

Patch me through to the Oahu Pacific Institute.

Ten-four.

This is Officer Williams of Hawaii Five-0.

We found an abandoned boat belonging to you

next to the bridge on Sand Island.

We'd like to know who signed that boat out today.

Chin, give me a progress report.

Nothing yet, Steve.

But we've got seven frogmen working.

Chin, we've got one hour of air left.

Now, press on it.

Keep me posted.

Will do, Steve.

Steve, the boat was checked out by a Dr. Phillip Tolvar.

That's the missing piece, Danno.

That's what we've been waiting for.

And guess what. He also checked out the institute's airplane.

Oh, he's been busy, hasn't he?

- Where do they keep the plane? - The old airport. Lagoon Drive.

Let's go.

Sam Sanford speaking. You're on the air.

Tadashi Sunahara will die for the sins of his family.

Let this be a warning to all members of Japan's imperialist ruling class.

Liberation is at hand.

The Red Army will prevail.

Do you have an exact location for the plane, Danno?

Yeah, the institute keeps it hangared at 210 Lagoon Drive.

Call the FAA and see if you can get an identifying number of the aircraft.

Then alert H.P.D. That I want a full tactical squad

at that location immediately.

Central, this is Williams.

Patch me through to FAA.

- Who is this? - I'll explain later. Is the plane ready?

The plane's ready, but where's Paul?

Never mind that, Dr. Tolvar. We'll take off at once.

We agreed to release the boy. Have you told them where to find him?

The boy must give his life for the revolution.

No.

Shigemi, take the controls.

Hurry, Shigemi.

Under buoy 1134-H...

1134-H.

- Chin. - Shigemi, hurry up. Take off, now.

Chin, do you read me? Come in.

Read you, Steve.

The capsule is under buoy 1134-H.

Repeat. 1134-H.

1134-H.

1134-Hotel.

Bridge to fantail. Give me a course to buoy 1134-Hotel.

Tactical squad, they're getting away.

- Steve? - Yes, Chin. Come in.

We got him, Steve.

He's all right.

Good work, Chin.

Good work. I'll notify his parents.
