Thank you.

Good morning, Mr. Gordon. Good morning.

This is a cash withdrawal on the Palmer account.

Fifties and hundreds, please.

$20,000.

That's a lot of cash, Mr. Gordon.

Do you have any security arrangements?

You're looking at them.

Nineteen.

$20,000.

$16,000, $18,000.

Thank you.

$24,000 on the Brookfield account.

So I see, Mr. Gordon.

Excuse me just a moment.

Will this take very long? I'm in a hurry.

Mr. Webber will be right back.

Yes, I know him.

He's Vincent Gordon, a business manager.

Represents some of the top people in Honolulu. Has the power of attorney.

Then what's the trouble, Mr. Webber?

that there is any trouble, but I've had calls from my associates at Bank of

Hawaii, First Hawaiian Bank, Citibank, and they all say the same thing, that

Gordon came in this morning and withdrew half to two-thirds of his clients'

accounts, not to mention the securities in their vaults.

All right, keep them there as long as you can. We'll come and take a look.

I'm terribly embarrassed, Mr. Gordon. We just don't have enough cash up here to

cover this check.

I've sent a guard down to the vault.

If you could just wait, oh, 10 or 15 minutes.

No, I haven't time.

Forget it.

Mr. Gordon, we can have it delivered to you.

That won't be necessary. Thank you.

Guard! Stop them!

Guard and a civilian wounded.

One man taken hostage in a getaway car heading south.

Descriptions? Got a make on the car and the license plates.

Out to all points.

Dispatch is coming on.

All units, all units, red alert.

Four-door green sedan.

License, 8 Edward, 8198.

Last seen heading south on Kapahulu.

Did you see who came out of that car?

Yeah, a guy with a white straw hat and a black suitcase. One guy?

Right. What did he look like?

I don't know. Like all the rest.

Short, fat, tall, Oriental?

Really. I didn't notice.

Where'd he go?

Gave his suitcase to the baggage attendant and went up the passenger

ramp.

Polini! Marco!

Up the passenger ramp. Look for a guy in a white straw hat.

Now be careful. He's armed and dangerous.

Duke, what do we got? The security guard saw a man get out of that green car,

Steve, give the bag to a porter, and then go on board ship.

This is found in the car.

Anything? Empty.

Send it to Che.

Was the bag placed on that conveyor belt?

Yes, sir.

Can you identify it?

I think so. Bag about this size.

Black.

Dano, take the guard aboard ship. Check the other end of that belt. See if you

can find the bag.

Right. Let's go.

Sergeant, I see the ship is only using two gangways. Take your men.

And make sure that that bag doesn't get back on this dock.

Ben, give me a list of passengers, names, and staterooms of the people who

have boarded in the last, oh, 10 or 15 minutes. That clerk over there can help

you.

You said that there was only one man seen getting out of that car?

The dispatch mentioned two, didn't it?

Yes, Steve. One hostage named Gordon. One gunman, according to the report from

Central. What happened to the hostage?

I don't know.

There's a Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Hartley, Miss Eleanor Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas

King. Here's a list of their cabins. And that's all in the last 15 minutes? Yes.

The ship is open for visitors and they're never checked.

Ship sails in 30 minutes.

B, no trace of the black bag. All the baggage moving around up there could be

anywhere. The gangway's a seal. At least we know it hasn't come off.

We found him near the golf course on Alawai Boulevard.

He was a hostage in a bank shooting.

His name is Vincent Gordon.

Mr. Gordon?

What happened?

He tried to kill me. Who tried to kill you?

That crazy gunman who drove the getaway car.

How did he try to kill you?

Well, he shot at me. He shot three times. Here's where the bullet grazed

me.

When I jumped out of the car, he slowed down for traffic, and I jumped out.

Well, I guess he would have kept shooting except the police were on his

tail. Then you got a good look at him?

Oh, yeah. Yes, I did.

You can give us a description.

I'll never forget that face.

All right.

There's not too much time. Come aboard with me. Maybe we can spot him. All

right. Dano, notify HPD. Red alert. Let's go.

Central, this is Williams.

Red alert.

Suspect gone when police arrived.

Believed to have boarded SS Monterey at Pier 10.

10-4. Stand by for radio phone from Chin Ho Kelly.

10-4.

I'm at the bank where the shooting occurred, Dano.

A civilian tried to stop a gunman.

I know.

We just got an ID on the civilian.

Better hold on to your hat, Dano.

What did they get away with? About $500,000.

Excuse me.

$500,000? Yes, and it wasn't even my money. That's the horrible part of this

nightmare. Can I help you?

I'd like to question the passengers in those rooms, please.

McGarrett, Hawaii 5-0.

I'll show you the way. Have the chief producer meet us in Mr. Harper's cabin.

You say the stolen money does not belong to you? No, it belongs to my clients.

I'm an accountant, a business manager.

My clients are wealthy people. I pay their bills.

taxes, manage their accounts, and I have power of attorney to draw from their

accounts.

This is Mr. McGarrett from 5-0, Mr. Harper. You don't mind?

Of course. Come right in. I'm very sorry, Mr.

Harper. There's been a mistake. Thank you. Thank you. If I can be of any help

in any way, just let me know.

I'm the chief purser. Oh, yes.

McGarrett, Hawaii 5-0. This is Mr. Gordon.

Your attention, please.

This vessel is due to sail for San Francisco.

All visitors assured.

Please depart via the gangway on May 10. All visitors assured, please.

A man was seen boarding this ship. We have reason to believe that he's a

dangerous criminal. Now, Mr. Gordon can identify him.

This is a matter for the captain. I'll take your turn. Thank you.

Please.

The vessel is about to depart.

I'd like to help you, Mr. McGarrett, but a thorough search takes hours.

We're due to sail in 15 minutes. Well, can't the sailing be delayed, Captain?

Only if there's a life or death emergency.

There's a chance that a dangerous criminal is aboard this vessel.

Chance? Well, we have no proof as yet, but all the evidence points to it. I'm

sorry, Mr. McGarrett.

My first obligation is to my passengers, my ship, my company.

Without proof there's a criminal aboard, I can't delay the sailing.

Steve, may I see you a minute?

Excuse me.

Yes. The guy who was shot this morning at the back trying to help out was

Congressman Chang.

Thanks, Jeff.

A little while ago...

A bank guard and a civilian were shot trying to help you. We just learned the

identity of the civilian.

He's Everett Chang, United States Congressman, twice elected to the House

of Representatives.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Mr. Gordon, we're going to take a cruise.

What? We've got to find the man who shot those two people, and we've got to find

him before the ship docks in San Francisco.

I... I don't know.

It'll also give you a chance to recover the money your clients lost.

Yes, but this man tried to kill me.

I mean, I'm the only witness against him. If he saw me again, he'd try to

kill me again.

Assuming that's true, it could happen any place at any time.

Your best bet is to stay aboard this vessel and help us find him.

Steve?

Congressman Chang.

Died while on surgery.

what about the guard critical now we're dealing with a killer

Mr. Steve McGarrett, Mr. Dan Williams, Hawaii 50. How do you do, gentlemen?

What you hear now will be in strict confidence, Mr. McGarrett.

Thank you, sir.

Gentlemen, we have substantial reason to believe that aboard this ship is a man

responsible for the death of a United States congressman today.

Also for a bank robbery in which approximately $500,000 was stolen.

Now, we have a witness who can identify him.

That witness is now aboard and under guard.

What state road, sir?

That information will be revealed at the proper time.

During the voyage, there will be times when I will walk the witness throughout

the ship to look for the murderer.

At the same time, Mr. Williams will be conducting a search of his own. A black

suitcase about this size, belonging to the suspect, was placed on a conveyor

belt. It disappeared inside the ship.

We believe it contains the stolen money.

We'll need your assistance in conducting the search, General. You've got it.

Every officer on this ship will be available to you.

And you can use my day room here as search headquarters.

Direct lines of communication to all parts of the ship.

Diagram of all the ship's spaces.

Thank you, sir. Now I'll need a passenger list.

Passengers and crew, over 600 names.

Good.

I'd want the witness to see all of them. You'll see most of the passengers in the

dining room tonight, but they'll all be on deck tomorrow for the fire drill.

What about the crew? Oh, they have a driller they're on. Between the two,

you'll see everyone aboard.

Very well. I'd like to transmit this list to my office now.

We have a telex in the radio room, and you can phone direct to Honolulu or all

parts of the mainland.

Right this way, Mr. McGarrett. Thank you.

One more thing, Chief. We came away on kind of short notice.

We'll need some clean clothes and some shaving gear.

Thanks, Chief.

I'd like a radio phone patch to Honolulu, please.

Number? 732-5577.

Chin-ho. Chin?

How's the connection there?

I'd like you in the next room.

I have a list of crew and passengers of the Monterey.

I'd like a fast computer check for criminal records, state and federal.

How many names?

Over 500.

Anything on your end?

Ben got something.

Just got this, Steve.

Report on the gunman who was killed in front of the bank.

Name's Arthur Meskill, age 38.

Dead time in Hawaii, California, and Mexico.

Armed robbery, extortion, assault with intent to kill.

Anything on his recent activities?

Who he's been seeing with lately?

No, nothing.

All right, I'm gonna put these names on the telex now. Call me back as soon as

you get a readout. 10-4.

Had all bags placed on that conveyor belt had to have this hold tag on them.

It'd be taken to a passenger stateroom if it didn't. All these bags here are

sent down here because they're not needed on the voyage.

I saw some stewards taking bags out of here just prior to sailing time. That

happens. Sometimes a passenger will mark a bag for hold, change their mind, ask

for it to be sent.

And the steward comes after them. Correct.

So anyone in a steward's uniform could come down here at loading time, pick up

a bag, and nobody would pay any attention.

It's routine procedure.

Which way would he be likely to leave?

Well, he'd probably head for the stairway right through this door.

Oh, isn't this A deck?

No, it's B deck.

A deck, B deck, C deck. What is this, a ship or a Scrabble game?

I'm looking for the ship's hospital.

That's on A deck, right over the baggage room, Mr. Malone.

Well, you see, that time I was right. The stairs were wrong.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Table for two. Right this way, please.

Study them all. Every face. Don't miss anyone.

Compliments of the lady at table L4.

Which lady is that?

The lady in the peach dress.

What's her name?

Miss Elena Lewis.

Thank you.

No, don't open it.

Very well, sir.

Do you know her?

No.

Ladies and gentlemen, could I have your attention, please?

After you've finished your dinner, you're all invited up to the Polynesian

Club for some dancing, some entertainment.

And if that's not enough of an invitation for you, we've got a special

one. One of your fellow passengers has condescended to be the star of the show

this evening.

He's a man who needs no introduction.

You've seen him on stage, television.

Ladies and gentlemen, sitting next to Captain Malcolm R. Peters of Pacific Far

East Line, Mr.

Duffy...

Malone. He's not in the room.

For those of you fortunate enough to see the show in Honolulu, you know that I

worked with a yodeler.

I remember opening night, he was on stage going... And he walked off. I

said, how was the crowd? He said, not bad. Why don't you get out there and

find out for yourself?

He wanted to hang out with me between shows, but couldn't get close to him.

He'd say things like, want to go across the street to have a donut and a coffee?

And I'd say, no, you've got a donut in your throat.

Duke, take Mr. Gordon back to his room. You can both order dinner there.

This way, Mr. Gordon.

Dano, anything?

Not yet.

We ran into Duffy Malone near the baggage room. He said he was looking for

the hospital.

Well, apparently Malone is not our man. Gordon checked him out in the dining

room. But verify his story with the hospital anyway.

Oh, Dano, one more thing.

See if you can find out from the steward's department who the passengers

are who ordered dinner in their rooms tonight.

Right.

Thank you.

Don't you like champagne?

Oh, I'm curious. Why did you send him?

Well, I like to meet attractive men.

And I'm not very good at shuffleboard.

Just a friendly icebreaker at 14 bucks a throw.

We're supposed to be the liberated sex.

No, no, no, honey, I don't buy it.

With your looks, you don't have to give away lovely.

Who are you?

Well, thank you for the compliment.

I'm Elena Lewis.

I'm a feature writer for Trans-Pacific Wire Service.

I see Hawaii's top cop on a cruise ship in mid-season. I figure there's got to

be a story.

Am I right?

I'll let you know in five days, maybe.

Huh?

You're a cop, aren't you?

What makes you think that?

Everyone on board is hip.

Oh?

Are they?

What's on your mind, Mr. Malone?

Uh, protection. When we get to the other end. San Francisco.

Cops on the dock. Anything you can do. I'm sorry, pal. That's not my

jurisdiction.

Why do you need protection, anyway?

I'll show you why.

Advise you settle accounts at once to avoid premature termination of your

contract.

Duke!

What happened? Someone fired two shots through the door.

But Corden's all right. Not a scratch on him.

Just scared to death and he passed out.

I just checked with the chief steward.

He says there's been no record kept of passengers who ate in their rooms. The

room steward handles all that.

All right, but ask the steward's department to keep a list starting with

the next meal.

I also checked Duffy Malone out last night.

The ship's doctor says he does get his back treated nearly every day. I put

through a call to Ben last night asking for the book on Malone. We'll know more

about him soon.

I had a meeting with the captain.

Steward?

Thank you.

Okay, what about the search?

We've been through all forward below-deck spaces, except the cruise

quarters and the dry cargo hold, which leaves us the aft below-deck spaces,

cruise quarters, and all the passenger sections.

Wait a minute. Why not the dry cargo holds?

Seal tight, twin alarm system.

Nobody can get in without us knowing on the bridge.

Oh, really?

We're having a stowaway contraband search during the fire drills. They'll

give us access to all the runs.

Mr. McGarrett?

There's a direct call for you from Honolulu. It's patched into the radio

room. Oh, thank you.

Yeah, McGarrett.

Steve, this is Ben.

We got the book on Duffy Malone.

He's a guy who works 52 weeks a year to feed a gambling ham.

But that's not enough.

Word is that he's into Vegas for $25,000 or $30,000.

And into the syndicate's book.

Well, that accounts for the threat on his life.

What about the readout on the passenger list?

Just got that.

Only one name on that list has a record.

A man named Fallon.

Frank Fallon.

Used to deal in Vegas Casino.

Then got caught skimming.

Three years in state prison.

Then worked as a card shark on cruise ships in the Caribbean.

Got caught there, too.

What was he doing in Hawaii?

We've got nothing on that.

All right, we'll check Felon out. I also want to read out on a woman named Lewis,

Elena Lewis.

She's supposed to be connected with a newspaper in some way.

Who is it?

McGarrett, Hawaii 5-0, State Police.

Frank Felon?

That's right.

I'd like to talk to you, Mr. Felon.

Sure.

You're a long way from your jurisdiction, aren't you?

Yeah, that's right.

What were you doing in Hawaii, Fallon?

Vacationing. Is that why you stay in your room and keep out of sight?

Oh, man.

You cops are something else.

It's a crime to dig privacy.

What time did you board the ship?

About two o'clock.

A couple hours before she sailed.

That much in advance?

Yeah, I got this thing about being early.

What kind of luggage did you bring aboard?

It's right there.

What were you wearing when you came aboard?

A light suit.

Never wear them.

What kind of a vehicle did you arrive at the dock?

A taxi.

Do you know a man named Vincent Gordon?

No. You sure?

Sure. Never sat in a car with him?

No. How much money have you won on this trip?

What's that supposed to mean?

Frank Fallon.

Used to run a book in New York.

Then got caught skimming, tax-wrapped, three years federal prison.

Then worked as a card shark on cruise ships in the Caribbean.

Listen, I don't even know where the game room is. Oh, that's right. You like

privacy.

There's a fire drill in ten minutes, fella. All passengers are required to

attend. Steve.

Even the shy ones.

We found the black bag.

Ascertain your station from the card you will find in your room.

Please wear life jackets as required by U.S. Coast Guard regulations.

Purses and stewards will be on duty in foyers and on deck to direct you to your

fire drill station.

Anyone touch it? No. Just the way it was found a few minutes ago.

Take it down, then.

There's our friend.

Supposing... Supposing somebody transferred the money from the suitcase

to a bag like this.

Where would a bag like this end up? Here, the ship's laundry.

Dano, take over. I gotta go topside for the fire drill.

pastures on deck sir they're all yours mr mcgarris thank you

it's not here okay let's hit the state rooms

He's not here, Mr. McGarrett.

The movie of the night, On Board Ship, in case you don't like what's going on

here. It's a John Wayne movie.

A lot of people like John Wayne movies and have for years. And people make

surveys and find that John Wayne movies are very, very popular. Also, sad movies

and scary movies.

My mother used to take me to sad movies when I was a kid to see if I was okay.

Mom used to also take me to every Lassie movie that came through town. There's a

whole series of Lassie movies. Lassie Go Home was one.

Lassie Cut That Out was another one.

When you get a little older, about 14 or so, you take a girl to the movie and you

don't want to cry. You know, you're trying to play the role. I'll get the

bonbons. You wait here.

But it's just your luck. It's a sad movie. What do you do?

You know that men are embarrassed to cry in this country? They really are. In

Europe, they cry at anything. They miss the bus. But men, men in

the United States don't cry. They don't think it's masculine. It's probably

because very few of your heroes in movies cry.

You ever see John Wayne cry?

I mean, I got to circle the wagons again. You never see that.

he's always together he's got an arrow sticking out of his neck he says let's

go take care of that later let's get some java boys you know that's john

wayne so we all try to copy him you know what men do cry men the men in the

states do cry they they sneak cry it's what they do they give it this

And the saddest part is always at the end, the lights come up and the guys go,

I dropped a quarter down here.

I'll see you later, folks. Have a good trip. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I do appreciate it. I'll be very happy to sign them all

later. I'm a little tired now. Could I just have a moment? Thank you very much.

You're very kind.

You're very kind. Thank you very much.

Calling KMI Oakland.

This is the steamship Monterey. Kilo Foxtrot Charlie November.

I have traffic for Honolulu. The telephone number 732

-5577.

Roger, operator.

Thank you.

McGarrett. Steve, the Lewis woman checks out. Works for the wire service.

One thing about her you better know, Steve. She's licensed to carry a gun.

and won prizes for shooting.

Mr. McGarrett, we're ready for you.

Thanks, Chief.

OK, fire drill coming up, Chen.

Thank you.

All number one, ready for lowering.

He's not here either.

Mr. Gordon, are you sure you know what he looks like? Of course I'm sure.

If someone shoots at you, you're not likely to forget it.

Is this the entire crew here?

All except maybe a dozen that are on duty.

Chefs, head nurse, some men in the engine room.

All right.

Let's take a look at them.

crew's mess, crew's lounges, every department, the whole ship, no money

found. All right, you said that these cargo holds were sealed.

Sealed how?

Metal strip seals on the doors, broken only after the voyage.

Each seal has a serial number. Recorded where?

Ship's log.

I want to see those recorded numbers, Mr. Parkins, and I want to compare them

against the seals on those doors.

Let's go.

Show me this elaborate alarm system you have.

When this watertight door is open, a loud klaxon horn will sound, alerting

everyone along the area.

Where's the horn?

The candle's been cut.

Oh, there's still the visual alarm.

What's that?

Well, a red light flashes on the bridge whenever this door is open.

This is Parkins. Give me the bridge.

Bridge, second officer.

I'm testing the watertight down to the forward hole.

Is the red light on?

Well? No, nothing here.

I see why the bulb's been loosened.

What did he say?

The alarm system on the door has been tampered with.

Oh, but the, uh, but the seal is still on on the hatch door.

12421.

How is it listed in the log?

66595.

Someone beat the system.

Someone?

Hardly information an ordinary seaman would have. Or even an able-bodied

seaman. How about a deck officer who would know how the entire system works?

Impossible.

Open it.

$500,000 buried in here somewhere.

How are we going to find it in time? The ship docks at 8 in the morning.

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please.

The vessel has been cleared for docking at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

All passengers will disembark from the single main gangway.

Due to a special police request...

we ask you to cooperate with ship's officers in making hand luggage

available for inspection.

We hope you've had a pleasant voyage and that you'll be sailing with us again on

the Pacific Far East Line. Thank you.

Have the crew stand by four and a half. Open side ports.

Notify the purser's office we're about to dock. Yes, sir.

Attention all passengers.

We are about to dock.

Please gather your hand luggage and have it available for inspection.

I'm sorry to inconvenience you folks. Will you open your bags, please?

Thank you very much.

Will you open your bags, please?

Thank you.

Please, Mr.

McGarrett. Mr. McGarrett of Hawaii Five-0.

Please come to the main salon entrance on the promenade. Take over.

Excuse me.

Get the ship stopped. What happened?

Foulham here unconscious.

Someone formed a bridge and reported it.

Who is someone?

Easy.

What happened? What happened?

The other night, someone put a note in my pocket,

said if I wanted to stay alive to meet down on the main deck salon when

we docked.

Was the note signed?

Who hit you?

I was waiting here. I thought I heard something. I

turned around and zapped.

When a sleight of hand artist wants you to look someplace else, what does he

do?

Diversion?

We know where you are and what you're doing.

You've been set up.

The order has just been given for all watertight doors to be closed between

compartments.

Remain where you are. You are under arrest.

I repeat, there is no chance for escape.

Remain where you are. You are under arrest.

Freeze! Put your hands on top of your head.

Risk them, Dano.

You're under arrest.

Well, thank God you got him.

I'm sorry I wasn't more help.

You were more help than you know, Mr. Gordon.

McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.

Here's your man.

I don't understand.

Oh, yes, you do, Mr. Gordon.

You and Fallon planned this whole thing.

Swindle of your clients, bullets through the door, this whole phony rip-off.

Proceeds to be shared by crook and victim later on.

You had me?

I don't know what you're talking about. I never saw this man before this voyage.

The felon was on board and you refused to identify him.

We examined the jacket that you discarded, the one with the bullet

crease in it. It had powder burns on it.

You told us that the gunman fired at you after you jumped out of the car.

Now, powder burns are caused by a shot fired at extremely close range.

You took your jacket off to do it.

Not very smart, Mr. Gordon.

Hold them for extradition, state of Hawaii.

What's the charge?

Murder one.
