Original subtitles

Ah, Mrs. Kingston.

Miss Kingston, love.

[ Mid-tempo instrumental music plays ]

It is ready.

Do we have to have that?

It is so our voices will not be heard.

There are people living upstairs.

Aren't you clever? [ Chuckles ]

There...

The queen of Polynesia.

Groovy.

You like it, yes?

I like it, yes.

All I had to work from was from the magazine picture.

I tried many times until it finally was perfect.

Are you ready to pay me now?

Oh! Naturally.

Good. Then we will finish the agreement.

Could I, uh...

Oh, could I have that cute little box there, love?

I've got to have something nice to carry it in,

don't you think?

Which box do you mean?

That one right there, right to your right.

You see?

I don't see what you mean.

Huh? Right -- right there. You will, love.

[ "Hawaii five-o" theme plays ]

You come a long way

to find out about a dead man, Williams.

I could have teletyped you the information.

Well, mcgarrett thought

I might be able to find a connecting link

between Dietrich and somebody in Hawaii.

Well, we're two days in the investigation,

and we're no farther along than the night of the murder.

It's gonna be a tough one.

I'm beginning to believe it.

This emerald that you're so proud of,

the queen of Polynesia, must be something special.

It is to the Hawaiians -- you know, a lot of history.

Kind of like the statue of Liberty, right?

Yeah, kind of.

Well, as far as I can find out,

the deceased never even took a trip to coney island.

No friends, no family,

no long-distance phone calls to Hawaii or any place else...

And no leads.

Sounds like it's gonna be one of those days.

It's always one of those days.

Here.

Here are a couple of rocks we picked up back here.

You got to sign a receipt for them.

Yeah, sure.

[ Tires screeching ]

Even with the flaws, they're good.

Looks like Dietrich was long on talent and short on profit.

He didn't have much --

a few old grinding tools in the back of the store,

nothing else.

New York police have any leads on the murderer?

Nope -- straight into a stone wall.

Tsk.

I'm beginning to get worried, danno.

Why would he be making copies

of the most valuable gemstone on the island?

Maybe he liked to practice.

Oh, sure.

A professional iceman as good as he obviously was

would be hard to satisfy --

take a couple of rejects to get what he wanted, huh?

Meaning somebody could be walking around

with a perfect paste copy of the queen?

Yeah. And didn't want Dietrich alive to brag about it.

[ Telephone buzzes ]

Yeah, Jen.

Good. Good. Send them in.

The governor.

Hello, Danny. Governor.

Steve. Come in, gentlemen.

May I present the man

who will be in charge of the security arrangements

at the kamehameha day festivities?

Steve, you know kimo kahono,

president of the Hawaiian cultural society.

How are you, sir?

Yung se, curator of the bishop museum.

I want you to meet Jim Bradley,

personal representative of the Vandervoort family,

which is presenting the queen of Polynesia to our state.

Uh, make yourself comfortable, gentlemen.

Governor, I'd like to, uh, talk to you about that.

I...

I was just coming to see you.

I want to, uh...

Ask you to postpone it, sir.

Postpone what?

The donation.

You, uh, also want to give me a reason why?

Yes, sir.

The queen of Polynesia?

Two of them.

Exceptionally fine paste copies.

Here, you can examine it yourself.

Excellent craftsmanship.

We've all seen costume jewelry, Steve.

But, uh, what's the point?

These stones were found in New York City 24 hours ago

in the shop of a man who was murdered.

He was a cutter, an iceman,

a highly skilled craftsman

who specialized in duplicating rare and valuable jewelry.

Why would he make a paste copy

of the queen of Polynesia?

Because I think somebody commissioned him to do it.

Mr. Mcgarrett, it's fairly common practice

for people who own expensive jewels

to have them duplicated.

They wear the paste in public

and keep the real jewels in a vault.

Did the Vandervoort family

commission these to be made?

Of course not.

The queen of Polynesia hasn't been seen in public

since 1927.

At present, the real Jewel is in a vault

at the bank of Honolulu.

Then why would anyone outside the family

want a duplicate made?

I don't understand.

In simple terms, Mr. Bradley,

when the real stone comes out of that vault,

it becomes a target for a quick switch.

I'm sorry, Mr. Mcgarrett.

It would be a shame to end kamehameha day

without sharing the queen

with our distinguished guests from all over the world.

Well, I sympathize with you, Mr. Kahono.

Governor...

All I'm asking for is a postponement, sir.

Keep the queen under wraps.

Give me a few weeks to check out some possibilities.

Governor, as representative

of the Vandervoort family,

I can tell you that they're looking forward,

with no small pride,

to the presentation of the Jewel to the state,

as originally planned.

Steve, what you're really asking me to do

is to postpone the presentation

solely on a personal apprehension.

Cop instinct.

It's more a sharp feeling in the gut, sir.

But there are only two days left.

Invitations have already been sent out.

People are coming from all over the world

to see that stone.

Plans have been made down to the smallest detail.

No, Steve, I-I can't possibly postpone it...

Not even for a sharp feeling in the gut.

You were supposed to meet me at the airport!

You're late. I expected you three days ago.

Oh, my. Aren't we snippy?

Well, did you get it?

Yes...right here, love.

And what about you?

Did you take care of your responsibilities?

You'll be happy to know I worked a party last week

and found you the perfect Mark.

Really?

You don't have to worry about me...

Love.

I know. [ Chuckles ]

I know. [ Laughs ]

It's very depressing to a girl's ego, you know.

Tch, tch, tch.

Well, uh, tell me all about that delicious Mark you found.

It was a mistake,

a simple accountant's mistake.

Of course, I can cover the check immediately.

Yes. Yes.

[ Scoffs ]

Oh, Amanda...

I'll tell my agent to contact you next week

regarding the matter.

Good day, sir.

Well, there's my big girl home from school.

Hello, grandfather.

I wouldn't be surprised

if there isn't a new package of cookies in the kitchen.

No, I don't think I want any.

What's wrong?

Grandfather...

Yes.

...are you really going to send me

to that special girls' school in Maryland?

Of course I am.

I sent your mother there when she was your age.

I was talking to Pammy Thompson

about girls' schools and things.

Her sister went to one in California.

Really?

Pammy said she heard her father say

it cost almost $4,000 just for one year.

Oh, well, that's not so much.

It seems like an awful lot to me.

I've been thinking.

You don't have to

send me away to a special girls' school like you said.

I'll understand.

Now, see here, my wispy little tragedian.

You're not supposed to concern yourself

with these grownup money matters.

Your world's supposed to have

nothing but flowers, happy songs,

and smiles in it, remember?

I guess so.

And another thing.

Your doddering old grandfather is still a man of means.

After all, what's $4,000 or so for a famous movie star?

[ Bell dings ]

Yes, sir?

Oh, this, uh, lovely little trinket's, uh...

Wonder what you'd give me for it?

Do you, uh, wish to sell it or take a loan?

Oh, well, actually,

my fiancée and I decided to call it off.

She gave the bracelet back to me.

I have no need for it.

I bought it from a friend.

Well, I'll, um, have to examine it more closely.

If you'll excuse me,

I'll get a glass and a better light.

Oh, yeah, of course.

[ Rotary phone dialing ]

[ Bell dings ]

Do you think he sold it?

It doesn't make any difference, love.

We've got him.

55 or so, uh...Grayish hair...

Light jacket, uh, sunglasses.

Good, good. Now, what about the bracelet?

Well, very good merchandise --

a strand of half-karat diamonds

with at least a 2-karat center stone,

white-gold mounted.

Danno, you got that hpd list of stolen jewelry?

Right here.

See -- diamond, diamond, diamond, diamond.

Nope, no diamond bracelet.

The only one is a silver charm.

Do you, uh, think he might have heard you

calling the police?

Well, I tried to be very careful.

Can you think of any other reason he left so suddenly?

He was nervous.

30 years behind this counter

makes my nose twitch when I smell stolen stuff.

And your nose got a twitch?

Well, I could be wrong.

Sometimes a customer changes his mind at the last minute.

Could he just have been embarrassed?

I guess so.

But that stuff smelled hot to me.

Well, I wish I could take your nose to court, mister.

[ Laughs ]

Mr. Elliot?

How wonderful to catch you like this.

Oh, I'm sorry. Have we met?

No.

But I intend to do something about that right now.

-I'm Camilla carver. -How do you do?

I was supposed to be

at Sarah landfare's party last week,

but my plans were changed.

Yes, it was a wonderful party.

So I heard. [ Chuckles ]

Oh, I've wanted to meet you for so long.

That's very kind of you, Mrs. Carver.

Miss.

Excuse me?

Are you a resident here?

Yes, only recently.

It's so hard to get to know

the people that you want to get to know.

[ Chuckles ]

Oh, I shouldn't think you'd have any trouble at all.

Thank you. That's very sweet of you.

Well, as I said,

it's been very nice to meet you, miss carver.

Oh, uh, could I buy you a drink?

Thank you, but really --

please, please. I absolutely insist. Come on.

Oh, thank you.

It'll be wonderful.

You can sit and tell me all about your famous movies.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, yeah.

[ Laughs ]

I'd like for you to meet a friend of mine.

Michael, this is thurman Elliot.

How...

Do you do?

Have we met before, sir?

Not exactly. Hold still.

What are you doing?

No rough stuff, Mr. Elliot -- can't stand rough stuff.

Isn't that lovely?

The police will handle this.

They most certainly will, love...

Unless you cooperate.

What do you want?

It's really quite simple.

You see, you need a favor from us --

our discretion.

You see, Michael was at Sarah landfare's party,

and when that bracelet fell off of her arm,

he saw you very quickly kick it underneath a seat

without anyone noticing --

anyone except Michael, that is.

But I intend to return it at the first opportunity.

Is that why you took it to a pawnshop?

It's really very simple.

I want you to take me to the governor's pageant tomorrow,

and then we'll forget all about the bracelet.

The governor's pageant?

I want you to be, uh, my escort, my date.

Why?

But I've already explained.

You know, it's so difficult

to become socially accepted here,

but my arriving

on the arm of the famous thurman Elliot will...

Assure me my social status

and will save you considerable embarrassment

from the police.

But it is normal procedure, Mr. Harris,

the same one we use for visiting brass.

Every waiter, every musician, every guest

gets a security checkout and will be searched.

Uh, I know it complicates your job, Mr. Harris,

but we have to do it.

Maybe you'd like to talk to mcgarrett?

Yes, I'll tell him.

[ Shouting indistinctly ]

[ Receiver clicks ]

Are we, uh...

Causing the governor's aide some inconvenience?

He had another way of putting it.

They want top security, so where do they put the party?

At makaha inn.

Has at least 20 or 30 entrance and exits.

At least Harris didn't, uh, decide to put it

in the middle of kapiolani park.

Yeah.

Danno, I've been studying this.

This service entrance here,

we'll need a guard posted there

to keep it open and clear for the armored car

when it brings the queen.

Now, the guests will arrive at the main entrance

and work their way back to the pool area here.

We'll need men at all of these openings.

Right.

And we'll keep this door open here, this service door.

I also want a walkie-talkie hookup

with every guard at every door and in the kitchen.

No problem.

Just got a revised guest list from the governor's office.

They've added 17 new names. Great.

Doesn't anybody plan to stay home tomorrow?

Get that list over to hpd, chin.

Ask them to check out the new names.

We've already given them over 100 people to clear, Steve.

They're screaming.

Well, then put some cotton in your ears, brother,

because if there's any ringers at that party,

I want to know who they are.

Okay.

How many men can we expect from hpd, danno?

122.

Michael!

Come and look at this view!

Michael.

It's kamehameha day. Don't you want to celebrate?

Michael...

Didn't you hear me?

I heard you.

No romance...

No joie de vivre.

Do you want these roses fixed or not?

Oh, of course I do, love.

Ooh, pretty, pre--

it's already treated.

Oh.

Leave them alone. They'll be finished directly.

Better work.

It will.

10 or 15 seconds. No longer.

I could do a whole wardrobe in that length of time.

Yes, love.

All you have to worry about is the queen.

[ Chuckles ]

Quit playing around.

A girl needs practice.

Besides, you look absolutely radiant in it.

Take it off.

How's that?

Not bad, darling.

Why don't you save it for the main event?

[ Sighs ]

Kiss the queen goodbye.

Danno, give me that a minute.

Mcgarrett to all stations.

The governor will be here soon, so keep your eyes open.

Kono? Yeah, Steve?

How you doing back there?

Busy but so far okay.

Keep in touch.

Check.

Hot stuff.

Sorry, brother.

A man could get killed around here.

Governor's chopper's in sight. Keep your eyes open.

[ Helicopter blades whirring ]

How's that sharp feeling in the gut, Steve?

It comes and it goes, sir.

You keep it. It makes me feel better.

Chin, the armored truck is due here in two minutes.

Let me know when it gets here, will you?

Okay.

Any problems?

Nope, unless you call kids a problem.

[ Giggling ]

Oww!

[ Giggling continues ]

How's she going out front, Steve?

Like a traffic jam on kalikawi Avenue.

[ Laughs ]

Where's the girl who'll be wearing the queen?

Over there.

Not bad for a 100-year-old bride.

Mahalo.

My name is mcgarrett, Hawaii five-o.

You can continue to work while we talk, if you want to.

Fine.

There could be some risk involved

in wearing the queen of Polynesia.

I'm Hawaiian. I'm very proud to wear it.

All right. Let's make it easy on both of us, then.

Just follow instructions.

Do exactly what you did in rehearsal.

We'll take care of the rest.

Sounds easy enough.

Let's hope it is.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Let's find a good table over here.

Mahalo, ladies and gentlemen.

And on this beautiful kamehameha day...

Alo-o-ha.

When captain James cook first came to Hawaii back in 1778,

he found this last Eden, Polynesia...

A race of golden, fiercely proud people,

living in a land isolated for centuries.

Captain cook called this newly found paradise

the sandwich islands in honor of the Earl of sandwich.

And from that moment, Hawaii has become a crossroad --

Japanese, Chinese, korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Filipino --

almost every nationality in the world

has fused its own individual personality

in the culture that is our state.

It seems appropriate on this kamehameha day

that I borrow a quote

from the late and respected governor of Hawaii, Samuel king.

He said, "the secret of Hawaii's racial Harmony

is that we're all in the minority."

[ Laughter ]

So, whether you are long-term residents, kamaainas,

or newcomers, malihinis,

I know we can all share this proud moment together.

In 1857, reicher Vandervoort came to Hawaii

to establish commerce between his country and the island.

But captain Vandervoort

found more than he had bargained for --

a young and beautiful Hawaiian Princess

with whom he fell in love and married.

Well, after that, captain Vandervoort's ideas of commerce

were drastically changed.

He turned his full energies to the development of the islands,

breathing fire, determination, and strength

into every project he undertook --

schools, hospitals, churches.

You can't go far in any direction

here in the islands today

without finding some Mark

that captain Vandervoort has left to our heritage.

In recognition of this one man's devotion

to the destiny that is Hawaii today,

the people have chosen to revere the great necklace

that captain Vandervoort gave his wife

at the birth of their first child --

the queen of Polynesia...

All stations get ready. The queen is on the way.

...a magnificent emerald,

handed down

through the generations of the Vandervoort family,

but still treasured in the hearts of all the island people.

Now, today, kamehameha day,

the Vandervoort family

has generously entrusted the queen of Polynesia

to the perpetual care of the people, each of you,

all of you.

And it is to be proudly displayed

as a shining symbol of one man's dream for his adoptive country.

To commemorate the occasion, ladies and gentlemen,

allow yourselves a brief moment of fantasy back to the 1850s

so that I may proudly present

captain and Mrs. Reicher Vandervoort.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Women singing in Hawaiian ]

What are you going to do?

It's not what I'm going to do,

it's what Michael's going to do to your granddaughter

if you don't behave yourself.

[ Singing continues ]

Please don't hurt the child.

That depends entirely upon you, love.

Danny.

Yeah?

You got an important phone call from hpd.

I'll get it.

I got it.

Kono.

[ Crowd gasps ]

Coming through, please. Excuse me.

Coming through, please. Excuse me.

Coming through.

Please, step aside, please.

What happened?

I-I don't know. I suddenly went dizzy.

You all right now?

-Sure. -You sure?

Fine. I-I'm sorry.

Okay.

All right, everybody. Back to your seats, please.

Back to your seats.

Thank you. Thank you. Everything's fine.

[ Singing in Hawaiian resumes ]

What is it?

Somebody just... Capped the queen.

A switch?

Yeah. Get on that thing.

Seal the whole area off --

every building, every exit, right away.

Right.

All stations, this is five-o. All stations, this is five-o.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Girls cheer ]

Danno.

I heard.

I just got a call from lieutenant Carlo in New York.

He came across an interesting piece of news.

The jeweler Dietrich was doing some work

for a Janet Kingston.

What about her?

She did time in Illinois and Kansas for Jewel theft.

Well, how does she fit in?

He ran a check on her.

She left New York three days ago

under the name of Camilla carver --

destination Hawaii.

Check the guest list right away.

Sorry, nobody's allowed to leave yet.

Stolen?

I saw the girl wearing the Jewel just a moment ago.

She was wearing a paste imitation.

What does all this have to do with me?

You brought Camilla carver to the pageant.

Her name was added to the guest list at the last moment.

I'd like to know why.

Miss carver is...A friend.

I had the invitation... Before she came to town.

She just thought it might be fun.

Yeah, it's been a lot of fun.

How long have you been friends?

Not for very long... Just a little while.

Any luck?

Not a thing on her. Nothing.

Thanks.

Well, Mr. Mcgarrett,

I hope you understand I could sue you for this.

For what?

For treating me like a criminal.

We have your record, miss carver,

or is it miss Kingston?

A few light-fingered moments --

Kansas, Illinois...

Several years ago.

You could ruin a girl's whole day

bringing up something like that.

We're not giving away any secrets,

are we, Mr. Elliot?

Oh, no, of course not.

She's already told me about the...Incident.

You play by the rules, don't you?

[ Chuckles ] We do, love.

We do.

And one of the first rules

is to not let you put your big, beautiful thumb on me

just because I made one mistake.

A mistake?

I am a good girl now.

I pay my taxes,

and I have no outstanding debts to society

or to anyone else.

We'll see. You can go.

You're sweet.

Come.

I thought you checked those new names with hpd.

I did, but there was nothing on Camilla carver.

All right, stay with them. Watch every move they make.

They couldn't have gotten the queen out yet.

Danno...

If she's the one,

she's got to be working with somebody besides Elliot.

He's falling apart. Call hpd.

I need more information on anything they got.

Right.

Smile, love. We've got admirers.

Excuse me, miss carver. I'm going off duty now.

A little party favor I thought you might like.

We had an extra one.

Perhaps you might give it to the little girl

in a few moments.

I'm sure she'll have no trouble getting past the guard.

Ask her to give it to the policeman out front.

How sweet of you, waiter. I'd be happy to do it.

Did you see me, grandfather? Did you see me?

Yes, I saw you, dear. You were wonderful.

It was fun, wasn't it?

-What a lovely little girl. -Thank you.

Shouldn't you be changing your costume, Amanda?

Later, love.

I want you to do something for me, darling.

What are you talking about?

Do you see this lovely little doll?

I want you to take it to a friend of mine

who's waiting downstairs outside the front door.

No.

You used me, but I won't let you use her.

Unfortunately, there's been a slight change of plans,

and I don't have time for arguments.

And if you'll look very closely,

you'll see a small but effective gun pointed directly

at that famous, well-fit belly of yours.

Sorry, folks. Nobody's allowed to leave yet.

Please take your seats.

Why -- why can't we leave?

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

Amanda...

Here, darling. Take it downstairs.

Please take your seats. You're not allowed to leave.

Sorry.

You can't leave right now.

Yeah.

The guards say nobody's left the premises,

but one waiter, Michael Olsen, who can't be located.

Get some men from hpd.

Make a search of the buildings, room for room.

Yeah.

What's happening, Steve?

Just what I was afraid would happen.

Somebody got the queen.

Oh.

-Anything I can do to help? -Yes, sir.

Keep the party going as long as you can.

-Give me the doll. -No!

Not until you promise me she won't hurt my grandfather.

Hold it!

Are you all right, honey?

[ Tires screeching ]

Okay, let's go, fast.

[ Helicopter blades whirring ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Tires screech ]

Book him.

[ Engine turns over ]

It was only a doll.

So are you, young lady. So are you.

I'm very proud of Amanda.

You have every reason to be.

I suppose you'll want to

talk to me about everything, Mr. Mcgarrett.

Yeah, yeah, if you don't mind.

It's only routine.

Of course.

Oh, one more favor, Mr. Mcgarrett.

I believe Sarah landfare dropped this.

Would you be kind enough

to return it to her with my compliments?

[ Sighs ]

It would have saved me a lot of trouble

if I'd returned it sooner.

Yes, it would.

You understand?

I understand.

"is you don't know a good deal when you've got one.
