Thanks for listening.

Central, post one.

The Ohlone Palace, all secure.

10-4.

What time you got, Bill?

Almost five.

Be light in about an hour.

The longest hour.

um

Central. Post 1.

Just got a flash from inside the palace.

Could be from a loose bulb somebody left on accidentally.

You know, this happened last month.

Careful, Charlie.

We'll send a backup right away.

10-4.

Company's coming.

Give me the fuse.

How many sticks you got?

Four.

That should be enough.

More wire.

Three feet enough.

Come out with your hands up. One funny move and I shoot.

when we blew that safe.

This baby's gonna make some kind of bang.

Hey, what's going on?

Who are you? Let's go. No. Hey, you off there? One last detail. Come on, let me

out. Let me out!

Yeah, there we are.

How's that?

It's a firecracker.

Best in the business.

That's it.

What's that? What do you got? It's a list of police raids to be carried out

in the next 72 hours.

Perfect. Perfect.

Books, walls, documents.

Dust everything in sight, Frank. When did it happen, man? Just before

daylight.

Puzzle is, we can't find anything missing. No vandalism.

Tried to call you when I first got here, Steve. Your switchboard said you were on

the way over. How'd they get in?

Well, the skylight in the hall was open.

They must have come down a rope.

Picked the lock to this office, but there was no sign of forcible entry.

Real pros, huh? All the way.

Security man came up to investigate, and they tricked him into a closet lockup.

What about the files?

Oh, no.

They weren't open, so they couldn't have been after documents or records.

Run an inventory anyway, Dan. I'll get the bomb squad over here to do their

numbers. Right.

No, no, 5 o'clock when I saw the light, 5.05 when I came in the office.

Get a look at them, Charlie?

Never got a look at them.

All I saw was a flash of light.

I thought it was a loose light bulb. You know, they flicker on and off. But when

I saw the rope, I knew for sure they were here.

Did you hear their voices?

In a manner of speaking.

I never thought anything like this would happen to me after 20 years in the

force. Could happen to any one of us, Charlie.

Any one of us. It's embarrassing.

Document four, letter from District Attorney John Manico dated August 11th,

subject... This one dusted down? Yes, sir.

Subject reissued with John Doe warrant in connection with the King Street

jewelry attack.

Document number five, letter from budget director September 8th, authorizing

repair and replacement of five old vehicles.

Yes, something missing.

Top secret report from BCI.

Police raids to be conducted within the next 72 hours.

This is McGarrett. Get me Captain John Burns, please.

Stash your old friend.

Trouble.

Uh-oh. Take five, will you?

Well, no good, huh?

Too good.

Too good?

Yeah, I'll probably win an award and we'll blow the whole thing.

How about those?

You look at these pics. Look at the detail.

Gorgeous. These are better than the ones you took at the hospital in KC.

I'll start operations tomorrow.

Uh, Stash Old Man, how about, what's wrong with today?

Today? Huh?

Business before pleasure, huh?

No problems.

Had about a dozen high rollers in the bag.

Nobody was tipped.

Thanks, Ernie.

Well, it just doesn't make sense.

Bye.

You. All right, put that up against the wall over there.

Globe goes between the bookcase and the door.

Yeah, put that behind the desk.

That goes over here, Marco.

Pull that globe away from the wall a little, all right?

Yeah, Jenny.

Star Bulletin, Steve. A man named Carter, city desk.

Okay, put him on. Go ahead, sir.

Mr. McGarrett, I'm Carter.

I'm new on the paper. I don't think we met.

What can I do for you, Mr. Carter?

Well, I'm doing a follow-up piece on the Hawaii 5-0 break-in. You got any new

developments? No, not yet. We're still investigating.

Well, sir, could you please give me a few details?

You see, I've got to get out a story for this afternoon's deadline.

And, um, well, what exactly are you doing?

We found a couple of unaccounted for, but they could be dead ends.

Now, another thing we do is check similar MOs with our Bureau of Criminal

Investigation. Again, so far, no results.

Sorry, I have nothing else for you, Mr. Carter. Well, that helps a lot.

Thank you, Mr. McGarrett.

That's good, right? Oh, Joe, put those over here.

There, the shield on top and the other one right below.

Well, it's good, but it's not right.

You know what I think it is?

It's the consonants.

Now listen.

Okay, but I'm going to make it fast. But one thing, we're checking all

fingerprints found on the premises. So far, those we found belong to 5-0 staff

and other authorized personnel.

They could be dead ends.

Now, another thing we do is check similar M.O.

Try again.

It's gonna be hard to look like this guy.

No, no, no, no, no.

Nose is good. You shave off your mustache, cut your hair real short, curl

it up real tight, and we're home.

Gotta work here.

Huh?

Yeah, maybe.

Yeah, it's gonna work. You can look just like him.

That's closer.

We'll try it one more time, okay? Listen, let's wait.

Sit.

Terrific.

So merry.

That's beautiful.

That's Pohini's car, no question.

Mob rub out?

With a body inside, I would strongly suspect it. Take a look, Chin. See if

it's ventilated. Right.

5-0 at a dredging job?

What is that?

Is this a syndicate hit?

We'll have it verified in a couple of minutes and let you know.

McGarrett.

Any leads on a 5-0 break-in?

How many times do I have to lay it out for you guys at the bulletin? How do you

mean? I already gave the story to Carter, your new guy on the city desk.

McGarrett.

We don't have any Carter working at the newspaper.

No Carter.

Mustache, old buddy. How is it?

You know me. I hate false modesty, right?

I've never been better.

I'll be the judge of that.

Pretty good.

Nice.

Very nice.

Wait a minute. Wait till you see what's coming up.

Welcome to Hawaii Five-0.

Was I ever better?

Never. Never!

I like it.

I like it.

Sixth raid, Dano. Tell Steve we caught 10 in the net.

Thanks, Jim.

Sixth raid, no one tipped in advance.

That settles it. Whoever busted into this office wasn't after the police

list.

Then why the break-in?

Shot from a car.

Someone tried to kill me. Are they gone? I think so.

I'll call the police.

Who's there?

Danny Williams.

5-0. 5-0?

I need some identification.

Can we use the phone?

Of course.

Ben, why don't you call Steve? Tell him Mr. Walker's all right. Headphone.

Those men have tried to kill you. We've been following them for some time.

Why me?

Everything will be explained to you in due course, Mr. Walker.

Mrs. Walker, do you have enough food in the house? I mean, for three or four

days. We can manage.

I don't want you to go outside until these men have been apprehended.

No shopping, no visiting, nothing.

There'll be a man outside at all times.

All right.

Steve wants Mr. Walker down at 5-0 right away.

It's for your protection, you understand?

Of course.

Just keep the doors locked. Mrs. Walker, there's nothing to worry about.

No, car coming up behind.

Get down!

That was close.

You better stay down.

Ben, get on the horn to HPD.

Give him a description.

Plane numbers, the fugitive car.

10-4.

Central, an APB.

Red code.

It's okay, quick!

Over there, Mr. Walker.

Come in.

Steve, Mr. Walker's here.

Is he all right?

Just a little shook up, that's all.

Take care of it, will you, Danny?

Something pressing came up.

Sure, Steve.

In here, Mr. Walker.

Pull up a chair.

Herman Walker, building contractor, Seattle, Washington.

Seattle.

Nice city.

Clean.

Honolulu is different.

Different?

Man like you comes here to set up a business.

The underworld knows about it before you've paid your first month's rent.

They have several different approaches.

Take the shooting this morning.

They might have intended to kill you. Cut off competition like that.

Or it could have just been a warning, a calling card.

In which case, you'll get another visit from the boys.

Again, they have several different options.

They can hit you outright for a bundle.

Or they can move into your business and declare themselves 50% partners.

With the threat of mob violence hanging over your head,

there must be a way to stop

Mr. Travers, two gentlemen to see you from Hawaii 5-0.

That's a police unit, isn't it?

Yes, sir. It's our state police.

Show them in.

Won't you come in, please?

Thank you.

Mr. Travers, Dan Williams, Ben Kikua, 5-0.

I understand you've been in the islands six, seven months.

That's right.

Has anything happened to you since you've been here that we should know

about? I mean, have you made any enemies?

Well, not that I know of. A few minor things, of course.

Let me put it plainly, Mr. Travers.

Anyone who would want to kill you. Oh, no.

I ask you to search your memory very carefully, because we have information

to that effect.

I don't know what to say.

Hold it!

Don't open that package.

You better come with us to 50 headquarters and meet our boss, Steve

McGarrett. Maybe we can find out who's behind this.

Shatner.

We're state police officers, Hawaii 5-0. We've been informed that your car has

been wired to explode.

Remain absolutely still while a demolition man comes to your car.

Repeat, remain absolutely still as he tries to neutralize the bomb.

Nod. Please nod if you understand.

Yes, I'm prepared to go all the way.

Affidavits, grand jury, and trial.

My story is true, and I'll stick to it.

I'm not suggesting you shouldn't.

But the charge is a serious one. I just want you to be very sure.

Mr. Manicote, I'm not a babe in the woods.

I've been a building contractor for many years, and I've done my share of paying

off. But never, never anything like this.

Yes?

I'll be right out.

Wait here, please.

Steve.

Something, uh, wild has just come up. I want you to know in front that I don't

believe it, but neither can I explain it.

Wild in what way?

There's a man inside, sober and apparently sane, who says that someone

tried to shake him down for $100,000.

and that someone is Hawaii Five-0.

He's here, Mr. Walker.

Are you ready to confront him?

Yes, if you think it's necessary.

I'm afraid it is.

A charge as serious as this one must be backed up in every way.

All right.

But only if you guarantee me protection.

I don't trust these people.

Protection guaranteed.

Steve?

That's him.

He's the head of the operation.

When did you see him last?

September 12th in his office.

He was talking to an aide, an oriental man.

Then another assistant called Williams, took me into a smaller room.

That's when he tried to shake me down.

Mr. Walker, you were not in my office September the 12th.

Not then, not ever.

I have a sworn statement from my secretary and certified copies of all

appointment books and journals that verify that fact.

Well, let me describe the place where you verified that I've never been.

You go from an outer corridor to a large workspace or an outer office, lined on

the side with cubicles.

At the end of the outer office, there's a receptionist desk where your secretary

sits, right next to the door to your office.

She was away from the desk, but there was a nameplate on it.

Jenny Sherman.

And when Williams opened the door to your office, I looked inside for just a

few seconds.

But I'm a builder.

I remember details.

A French door down to the floor, opening onto a lanai. And all the woodwork

finished in mahogany. A barometer hanging on a green wall just behind your

desk. Very well. You've described my office, but that doesn't prove anything.

Anyone could have given you that detailed description or shown you a

picture. You're calling me a liar.

I'm saying that your statement contradicts facts and compromises me.

Yes? All right.

Danny's here.

Come in, gentlemen, please.

This lineup over there.

It's him.

All right, Danny, you stay. Thank you, gentlemen.

Just one more thing.

Are you saying that you actually gave this man money?

You know damn well I didn't. How would I know? Because I refused to follow his

instructions. What instructions?

To withdraw $100,000 in cash and to wait for a visit.

And this is the man who gave them to you?

Yes.

Well, Shatner, you been to the bank?

Let me tell you guys something.

I got clubs in Miami, Chicago, and Vegas.

And I pay my dues.

Christmas lists that would blow your mind.

But no squawks from me, see, because I know wheels got to be greased.

But this, this is no greasy.

This is putting a gun to my head, and I don't like it.

To repeat, you've been to the bank.

Yeah, I've been there.

Let's have it.

We'll have this.

Get over there.

Hold it, Shatner! Freeze!

What are you...

This is just an examination, Mr. Walker.

Will you close your eyes?

Please answer yes to every question.

Is your name Herman Walker?

Yes.

Are you a building contractor?

Yes.

Do you now reside in Sydney, Australia?

Yes.

Got a missing persons report.

Might tie into the Walker case.

Al Shatner, 41, male, Caucasian, 6'4", 220.

Nightclub owner.

Arrived to Honolulu four months ago from Las Vegas. How does that tie in? He

disappeared yesterday afternoon, but he'd gone to his bank in the morning and

presented a withdrawal slip for $100,000.

Then he changed his mind, tore up the slip, left the bank.

Teller says he was nervous, angry.

$100,000?

But like Walker. Yeah, except that we know that Walker was lying.

But why?

I've checked Walker out 40 different ways.

He's a respectable businessman.

No ties, no debts to the underworld, no reason to get 5-0.

Alice Shatner, Walker, $100,000. Could be some tie-in someplace.

Hey, Garrett.

Yeah, John.

Okay, John, thank you.

Walker passed his polygraph test.

The machine said he wasn't lying.

But he had to be, Steve.

We know he wasn't here.

If he wasn't here, and the polygraph says he wasn't lying,

then somebody made him believe he was here.

Who could make him believe a thing like that?

I don't know, but I'd sure like to find out.

Would have to be the world's greatest con man.

Gentlemen, do come in.

Well, gentlemen, our work here must come to an end. Huh? What happened? Something

wrong? Oh, no, no, nothing wrong.

Oh, no, we could stay here for quite a while. But as the wise men say, we must

not become victims of greed.

However, I'm happy to say that our little venture here has proved highly

profitable. All of you will leave this room considerably richer.

$250,000 to be split among you.

Oh, please.

My thanks to you, to all of you, for a job well done.

And here are your tickets for the mainland, first class, as per our

agreement.

My partner and I are leaving at 2 in the Mariposa to consider our next venture.

So I'll say goodbye and a happy journey.

Thanks, Bowman. So long, Bowman. Thanks.

Oh, one last detail.

A little favor.

Picture? Well, I'd like to remember my greatest achievement.

All right, that's it. Now, group together a little closer.

Ready?

How about a smile?

Bigger.

I'd like you to look at these files, Mr. Walker.

What are they?

It's a summary of 5-0's record over the past 12 years.

Arrests, convictions, major criminals put out of business.

Not interested.

That department will stand a fall under your accusation. I told you the truth.

And I've accepted your story.

But I'm completely sure that the men of 5-0 are totally honest.

Which is why I would like your cooperation in one additional test of

confirmation. What kind of test?

We would like to retrace exactly where you were taken on the day in question.

I agree on one condition.

What's that?

That McGarrett has nothing to do with this. I don't want him anywhere near me.

Agreed.

Mr. Walker, it's September 12th. You're in a car with a couple of men who claim

to be state police taking you to their headquarters.

But then you're shot at from a passing car and forced to the floor, hmm?

Yeah, so?

I want to duplicate the situation.

I'm going to ask you to keep your eyes closed from now on and just answer our

questions. All right?

Let's go.

We went in this direction for several blocks.

And it was about here that I heard a scream.

Something screaming, not human.

Honolulu Zoo.

Now, it was somewhere in this area that they shot at us.

I heard bells.

Like music.

Music?

Why, how church?

We're still on the right road. Good.

What else?

Slow down, slow down.

We made a right turn.

And we came to a building.

What kind of building?

Big.

Old-fashioned.

With a sign in front of it.

What sort of sign?

Headquarters. Hawaii 5-0.

We stopped along here.

Hold it.

Let's have a look.

I'll stay with Walker.

The duty roster.

I put that there myself.

Can you believe it?

It's incredible.

Can you believe it?

Even a digital clock.

This one works.

make it fast but one thing we're checking all fingerprints found on the

premises so far those we found belong to 50 staff and other authorized personnel

we found a couple of unaccounted for but they could be dead ends

50,000 minimum. Had to go so much.

And why not?

If you're a crook, why not spend 50,000 and make five times that amount?

Maybe more.

Look at this.

United States Naval Academy, Stephen McGarrett.

What do you do? You pick your mark.

Businessmen, newly arrived.

Plenty of cash on hand.

Couldn't do that with old-timers. They'd know what we look like.

They made it work.

They must have hired actors, shakedown artists to play our parts.

One thing for sure, they left in a hurry.

And we don't know who to look for.

Now, look, don't B.C.I.

Hunt for a con man's M.O. just like this. See what the computer comes up

with. Right.

Ben, Chin, get on the horn to H.P.D., Harbor Police, Airport Police.

I want an A.P.B. on four men.

Four men who look like us.

Let's make the split.

Disguises. Disguises.

Voice impersonations.

Here's one.

A man built a phony hospital wing in St. Louis.

Beds, nurses, everything.

To make an old man think he was dying and fleece him out of his savings.

Sounds like it could be our man.

What's his name?

Got about a dozen.

The main one is Bowman. Jeffrey Bowman.

One last detail, Stash, old buddy.

What?

Well, while our buddies are waiting for us to settle up over there at the dock,

we, of course, will be on our way to California. I got a reservation on

flight 194.

United to California. I think we'd better confirm that, huh?

Yeah. Play it safe, huh?

Will you do the honor?

Yeah. Have you got a dime?

Oh, we got lots of dimes.

The man in there is a very vicious criminal. We're state police, 5-0. You

keep him in there till we get the police, okay?

Yes, sir. You watch him. He's dangerous.

You're lucky, Bowman. We got you away from there before the cops came.

You're okay.

You got a few superficial scratches and a bump on the head, and you got off

easy. Where's the money?

Huh?

Where's the money?

Look, you get one answer.

One. And if it's not right, we're going to go to work on you. Where's the money?

The money was in my bag, the suitcase I was carrying. We got that.

250 grand. Where's the rest?

There is no rest. Where's the rest? There is no rest!

Bowman, I don't think you get the picture. Now, where's the rest? That is

it. You know it. It was 250,000.

That was just to be our split.

Which means there is more somewhere else. Now, where is it? There's 50,000,

huh? We took 50,000 from Hess, the wholesale baker. You guys rigged an

explosion in his oven, right?

There was 100 from the factory man, Travers.

And there was 100 from Rodman, the plastics guy.

That was it. What does that add up to? Now, you tell me.

What does that add up to?

Extortion.

Kidnapping.

Conspiracy.

It adds up to 30 years to life.

That's what it adds up to.

Nick! Bring him in.

You'll be reunited with another of your friends in a moment. A fellow we found

in a phone booth after he called us. He's very anxious to see you.

Look,

Garrett, I don't suppose you'd want to discuss some sort of deal.

No way.
