Room 702.

Oren here.

Our friend arrived from Hong Kong.

On schedule.

In the copter now.

About five minutes.

Good.

The helicopter arrives in minutes.

I'll get an ambulance.

Forget it. Get him in the car.

Thank you.

Anything? I'm just starting.

From the angle, it came from somewhere up there.

Kono's checking it out.

Get the story here, Dano.

The man is shot, wounded, maybe killed, and you don't notify Honolulu police or

50Y. I'm sorry.

I'm not authorized to tell you anything.

Not authorized?

I'm under orders to say nothing about the incident.

Whose orders?

All right, never mind.

I know who, and I think I know where to find him.

Get me Mr. Cavanaugh at the Honolulu General Hospital.

Hold it right there, Mr. McGarrett.

Get me Cavanaugh and get him fast.

Good morning, McGarrett.

Good to see you again. Okay, Mr. Cavanaugh, drop the glad hand. Why the

freeze out at the heliport? Just a little accident.

You don't expect me to buy that, do you?

Try. Not a chance.

Hey, McGarrett. Back off. This does not concern 5-0.

Now, is that right? That's right.

Well, since you're still a little new out here, Mr. Cavanaugh, maybe nobody's

told you. What?

That not even United States intelligence can cover up a shootout and tell me it's

none of my business.

Now, I want to know what's going on and I want to know now.

His name is Shepherd.

He's a British subject.

Spent the last ten years in Red China. He's a freelance newspaper reporter,

among other things.

Meaning he was working for you?

For the last couple of years.

Sounds like amateur talent.

I wish I had a few more just like him.

He dug us up a map showing the exact location of every missile silo Red China

has built or is planning on building.

And he was bringing it here? And he was bringing it here.

Obviously, some Chinese agent found out about it somehow and tried to kill him.

So here we sit, waiting for him to tell you how he was carrying the information.

We know how he was carrying the information.

Then what's the problem?

The map is here.

He memorized it. It's all in his head.

Yes?

Dr. Forbes wants to see you in his office right away.

Tell him I'll be right there.

He'll be right there.

Thank you.

Shepard is still alive.

Did he talk?

He's still in a coma.

We must make certain that he never regains consciousness.

How? The whole wing of the hospital has been sealed off. We'd never get to him.

Then we shall have to find a less conventional way of disposing of Mr.

Shepard.

And though the bullet didn't actually penetrate the skull, it did crease it,

so to speak, causing a severe lineal fracture, which explains the coma he's

in. In itself, the fracture's not necessarily serious, but there's a

distinct possibility Mr. Shepherd has sustained a brain contusion, which is

causing intracranial hemorrhaging.

I think we better find out. How?

Cerebral angiogram is a possibility.

The one sure way to know is surgery.

Isn't that pretty risky?

That's hardly relevant if it's the one way to save the man's life. What are his

chances? I'm not in the habit of quoting odds, Mr.

Cavanaugh. Tell me this. Is it possible he'll regain consciousness without an

operation? It's unlikely.

Is it possible?

Yes. Then we'll wait.

The longer surgery's... I said we'll wait, Doctor.

Then I must tell you I can't accept any responsibility for what may happen.

No one's asking you to.

What about the guy who shot Shepard?

What about him?

It's Favo's job to find him. Be my guest.

You're not interested?

Let me put it this way, no.

There are 800 million Chinese Reds.

One of them shot Shepard. That's good enough for me.

I got other problems.

Yeah.

Such as how the Chinese knew about Shepard, for instance.

Has it ever occurred to you, Mr. Cavanaugh, that somewhere along the line

your outfit has sprung a security leak?

Yes, McGarrett, it has occurred to me, and it is my guess, that Shepard did

something to blow his own cover. Amateurs usually do.

Yeah, but your men and only your men picked up Shepard at Honolulu Airport

and ferried him by chopper to the heliport.

Look, McGarrett, he blew his own cover.

And any enemy agent watching the airport would have seen our cop to pick him up.

Well, I'm sure that he'll apologize to you for any inconvenience he caused you,

Mr. Governor.

If he ever gets a chance.

I'll pick you up in about an hour, darling. Okay, Mom.

Your girl's getting

to be a fine little sailor, Mrs. Forbes.

Thank you.

How is he now?

Cavanaugh, if you don't let me operate immediately, you better find yourself

another doctor. Oh, hold it, Forbes. Hold it, please. Nurse, do you mind?

This is too big. It's too important for me to decide whether you should operate

or not. Maybe I should, but I'm not.

Then who is?

Washington. Washington?

Jonathan Kaye, chief of the Pacific area.

I'll have word for you within the hour. One hour, Forbes. That's it.

Doctor, for you.

Hello. David, you've got to come home right away.

Janet, what is it? Don't ask questions. Just get home.

Janet?

Janet? And I assure you, Doctor, as I've already assured Mrs. Forbes, your

daughter has not been harmed.

Nor will she be, unless, of course... Unless what?

David. What kind of man are you to involve innocent people in a thing like

this? A nine-year-old child?

What you refer to rather contemptuously as a thing like this may well become a

question of my country's survival.

If my methods of pursuing that end revolt you, so be it.

I'm not interested in winning your approval, Doctor.

Only your cooperation.

As for the child, she is, as you say, innocent.

But so is any weapon that a man may choose to use, whether a bomb, a gun...

or a scalpel.

What are you getting at?

I feel you're being deliberately obtuse, Doctor.

I want Mr. Shepherd dead.

You're appalled, and understandably so.

But, uh...

Consider the alternatives.

If Mr. Shepherd dies without regaining consciousness, your child will be

returned to you unharmed.

On the other hand, if you don't agree with the terms, won't pay the ransom, so

to speak, well, then... No!

No! I'm sorry, Mrs. Forbes, but I'm just as much a victim of this situation as

you, your husband, and the child.

I know a little about your particular discipline, Doctor.

Brain surgery is such a delicate matter.

I couldn't.

I can't! I can't!

Come, come.

Don't tell me that you've never lost a patient.

And you'll lose more in the years ahead.

Perhaps enough so that Kyle Sheppard will become just a name among names.

of the people you tried to save and couldn't.

What if I'm not allowed to operate?

However you accomplish it, Doctor, Mr. Shepherd is not to regain consciousness.

One thing more.

You're wondering if you can trust me to keep my word.

I assure you, you can.

I would genuinely hate to harm your child.

But more important, in my profession, a man cannot afford a credibility gap.

He must keep his promises if he wants anybody to believe his threats.

Forbes? Yes.

This is Cavanaugh.

I just talked to Jonathan Kaye in Washington.

His decision is to operate.

Forbes?

Forbes, did you hear me?

Yes.

I heard you. I'll be right there.

What am I going to do?

There's only one thing you can do.

Operate.

Are you out of your mind? He can't operate on Shepard now.

He has to. Do you think Wolfatt is going to let him off the hook because another

surgeon takes over?

That's right.

Wolfatt said as much. That's tough.

Cavanaugh! I want someone I know will try to save Shepard. You know, you

really amaze me.

Do you think he could kill a man? Do you think he would knowingly let a man die?

Why do you think he told us about the kidnapping if he didn't intend to do

everything to help Shepard?

Now, you have the top neurosurgeon in Hawaii right here, waiting to operate.

And if you don't use him, you're the one who kills Shepard.

Shepard had better live.

Yes, Dano.

All right.

I'm on my way.

Meet me at the chopper pad.

What's that all about?

Danny Williams got a lot of bits and pieces from a lot of witnesses.

I'm gonna sift it out with him.

You still got that cockamamie idea that it's somebody on the inside?

Why not?

Wofat seems to be pretty well informed. He obviously has a pipeline right into

this hospital.

Shouldn't be long now.

We'll soon have you back, skipper of your own little boat.

And that's the room the gunman fired from? We found the spent shells.

And according to the witnesses, my car is about where Cavanaugh's was this

morning? That's right.

Shepard stepped off the chopper with two of Cavanaugh's men.

Then three of them started for the car, and when they got about here, Shepard

looked up and saw the gunman.

Only he didn't see him, not from here. Wouldn't have been possible. That's

right.

But why did he stop?

What did he see? What made him panic?

Take Cavanaugh's position over by the car.

I'll be at the hospital.

Yeah. Forbes is just starting.

Okay.

I'll keep this line open.

What is it, McGarrett?

I think I dug up Wolfat's pipeline.

Who? Your man, Ralston.

Ralston?

Or you.

Take your pick.

All right. All right, now listen.

When Shepard saw you and Ralston waiting for him in front of the car, he

panicked. Why?

Only one answer.

He recognized one of you as a red agent.

You've really gone into orbit, haven't you, McGarrett?

Okay, then you tell me how Wolfatt knew that Shepard hadn't talked, that he was

unconscious, and that Dr. Forbes was going to do the operation.

Now, you've had this wing sealed off since you brought Shepard in here.

Only you and your men have been allowed to come and go.

Well?

Uh, Ralston.

He's been in the Far East until six months ago. Hong Kong, Vietnam.

Maybe even inside China. Yeah.

Maybe.

Just maybe.

Shepard found out that your man Ralston was working both sides of the street.

Now, maybe Shepard would have told you if he had the chance, but when he

stepped off that chopper and recognized Ralston...

He figured he was walking into a trap.

You're guessing. Yeah, I'm guessing.

But it's worth guessing.

A child's life is at stake. If Ralston is feeding information to Wolfatt, maybe

we can keep that child alive.

I just can't believe any of this.

Come on, Mr. Cavanaugh.

Behind that cloak and dagger of yours, you can believe anything.

Now, you can't tell me that you don't believe that Ralston could have sold you

out.

I'm gonna put him on ice.

Now, wait a minute. I got a better idea.

Get him out of the hospital. Turn him loose. We'll dog him.

Maybe he'll give us a lead to Forbes' daughter.

There's no question about it.

The Chinese know every move we've made.

How do you figure it? You, Sanders, and Gamble were not briefed on Shepard until

five minutes before we left to pick him up.

So?

There are only two men in the Hawaii office who had advance information on

him, myself and Tyler.

And Tyler drove the car this morning? Right.

I want you to go back to the office, use any excuse you can, watch him.

If he makes a phone call, tap in on it.

If he leaves, follow him.

And keep me posted.

OK, Chief.

Thank you.

He's dialing the operator.

Brother, if I could only read lips.

Most fortunate turn of events.

Cavanaugh suspects of all people his own Mr.

Tyler, and our Mr.

Ralston has been appointed to watch the gentleman.

Jung has some lunch for you.

You're still not afraid of us, are you?

Would you like some lunch?

Are you sure?

I'm not hungry.

Very well.

You mustn't be frightened.

It's very important not to be.

I knew a little girl once. It was a long time ago.

Or so it seems now.

It was a time of great fighting in my country.

I tried to keep her from being afraid, her mother and I.

And I don't think she was.

Or perhaps I just want to think so.

Then one day during the fighting, she ran into the street and...

Do you play chess?

Sometimes.

Really?

My mother taught me.

Your mother?

Now that's very interesting.

So few women play chess.

They seem to have no grasp for it.

Come, I'll play you a game.

Do you like chess?

When mother lets me win.

You enjoy winning.

Don't you?

It's important.

It's necessary.

Somehow I don't always enjoy it.

Kono.

Fine. And you?

Good. Look, one of your operators just placed a long-distance phone call from

number 819-855.

I want the ticket on this.

How soon?

Well, get on it. I'm on my way to see you.

It's like an oven in here.

Hello?

It's Kono for you.

Kono? What do you got?

Did you see him? What's he got? What's he got?

Hold it, Kono. Hold it.

Ralston made a call from a public phone, placed it through the operator.

Long distance?

That's what Kono thought.

But they can't find a ticket.

He's with a, uh...

Phone company special agent right now. Kono? He probably wanted assistance from

the operator on a local call.

Phone company doesn't keep a record of that.

Then we're dead.

Maybe not.

Wait a minute. Kono?

Kono? What about a call to a mobile unit or a marine call to a boat? What about

that? There'd be a ticket on that, wouldn't there?

Well, get it. Find it. Get on it.

Something's wrong.

There's trouble.

Tony, I can rest.

Looks bad.

Send a seal off that room. Nobody leaves.

I'm sorry.

I did my best.

All right, he's dead. There's nothing I can do about that. But I can do the next

best thing.

Shepherd's body goes into the recovery room.

This entire staff goes through post-operative procedures just as if he

had survived surgery.

Then I'm gonna get word to Wolf Fatt through Ralston that Shepard will be

talking his head off before the day's over.

And what about Forbes' child?

Now, McGarrett, stop kidding yourself.

You too, Forbes.

There's not one chance in a thousand that child is still alive.

That's not true! Please stop it. You know it never solved anything.

Yes?

McGarrett, it's for you.

McGarrett. Yes, come.

Yes.

Good.

Yeah, give it to me.

Yes?

What name?

Pick up Dan O and meet me there.

Yes, I'm on my way.

Ralston made a marine call to a boat owned by the Island Marine Sales and

Rental Companies called the Sea Gypsy. It was rented by a man by the name of .

with Oren Bates last week. Now I need some time.

How much? Doctor?

If Shepard hadn't died, how much longer would this operation have taken?

Hour and a half, two hours.

I want those two hours.

Negative. Now you listen to me, Mr. Cavanaugh.

If you feed Wolfat the word,

that Shepard talked, I'm gonna feed him the word that you lied.

And if you don't think I will, you just try me.

Now do I get those two hours or don't I?

All right, two hours, not a minute longer.

Okay, now keep this room buttoned up.

You can take it back up.

Good deal out, by the way, please.

Yes, Mr. Austin.

Glenn, I thought you were with the boss.

He asked me to come back here and put out a few reports for him. Welcome to

the chair course.

I'll be in the cold room.

We were playing chess.

She became thirsty, so I gave her a gentle sedative.

She feels the strain.

And I so wanted her to win.

Without her knowing it, of course.

Take it down a little

No,

no good you can take it back up

Yes. Just a minute.

It's Ralston.

Don't. I can't stall him. Two minutes, Forbes.

It's not going to make any difference.

Hello, Glenn.

Just thought I'd check in.

Tyler hasn't budged from the office and he's made no calls.

How's Shepard?

You can relax now.

Oh? We all can. Forbes came through for us.

They just took Shepard into recovery, and Forbes says we'll be able to talk to

him tomorrow morning at the very latest.

I'll be back in the office later. Wait for me.

I'm sorry, Forbes. I mean it. I'm sorry.

Sanders, see that Shepard is taken into recovery.

And see that these people are kept under wraps until I tell you they can be

released?

Can we track the area here once more?

It slipped from the end, down here.

That's it.

Difficult to believe that Dr. Forbes would deliberately gamble with his

child's life.

Shepard is going to live.

You and I didn't know what to do with the child.

Well, what did you think I was going to do when we found the child?

You can't, McGarrett. You'll tip our hands.

If Five-0 raids that boat, Wofat will know we used Ralston. I need Wofat on

his way back to China, so we'll dismantle those silos.

McGarrett?

McGarrett?

Yeah? You're not going in without me.

All right, Cavanaugh.

Jinho will pick you and Dr. Forbes up, and no matter what happens, stay out of

my way. You understand?

There he is.

Permission to come aboard and inspect the ship? All right.

What? Coast Guard. Three of them on a boat over there making some sort of

inspection.

Could be we're next.

What do we do?

Take her in here

Good afternoon. We're examining vessels to determine compliance with federal

boating laws. May we come aboard?

I was just going to cast off. Safety check. Won't take a minute.

What's in there?

Warwick storage?

Uh, yeah.

You mind if we take a look?

Okay.

Thanks.

Take it easy.

Nobody gets hurt.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Uh, thanks for not moving in till Lofat left. I said I'd wait.

Couple of his friends back there, but as far as they're concerned, the Coast

Guard just, um, stumbled onto a kidnapping.

Coincidence. HBD will handle them. Now, what about Ralston?

Well, he's my problem.

I'll have to smile at him for a year or so, and then I'll handle him.

Well, we finally got squared off. Maybe we can get along together from now on.

Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that.

Thank you.
