Thank you.

Please tell me if this is correct.

I, Billy Madrid, being duly sworn, depose and say that on the afternoon of

April 24th, I entered the Grass Shack restaurant in Waikiki in the company of

my employer, Kum Chi, at which time I observed Kum Chi shoot and kill one

Harry Kwan.

After the shooting, I drove Kum Chi to Hanama Bay and saw him throw the murder

weapon into the bay.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the above is true and correct.

Yeah, that's good.

Sign all three copies, please.

Okay.

Uh... What happens after I sign?

You say it all again.

First before a grand jury and then later in court.

Oh, wow.

McGarrett, no way out of this one?

No way.

No way, Milly.

And you realize you're putting yourself on the spot.

I didn't have a choice, McGarrett.

For ten years, I've been Kunchi's right-hand man, so I know how that crazy

mind works.

Loose ends, you don't like them.

Loose ends, they get hit.

And this time, I'm the loose end.

So I figured I'd better make the first move and get 5-0 protection. And you

better come through!

You'll get protection.

We've been trying to build a case against Kum Chi for years.

Until you came forward, no one was willing to talk.

Over here.

You're a lucky man, McGarrett.

A few more inches and you'd have had it.

Well, I'm grateful, Doc. I'm also sore.

Boy, this thing's smart.

And that's the way it's gonna be for a while.

You're to rest for at least two weeks.

No excitement, no straining that arm, and that's an order. Well, we'll see

about that, then.

Well, wait here. I'll check you out.

See? I thought you might be tired of that ventilated jacket.

Found this in your locker. Yeah, thank you, Dano.

Any luck on the sniper?

Oh, he was gone by the time we got to the roof. We did find the rifle.

30-06 with a scope.

It's on its way to the lab.

What about our witness?

He's scared.

That figures.

Where is he now?

On his way to safe house number four.

Oh, yeah, that's good. Who's with him?

Duke, chairman, a couple of HPD men. They all need relief.

I want four men, three shifts around the clock.

I'll get the extra manpower from HPD.

Meanwhile, will you run over to the lab, see if there's a ballistics report on

that rifle?

Right, Steve.

It's McGarrett, may I speak with the chief, please?

How are you, Steve?

I heard about it.

I'm pretty good, chief, but I won't be pitching against the fire department.

Maybe we've got a chance to win for a change.

Oh, well, I asked for it, didn't I?

Chief, I've got a... I've got a man in protective custody in safe house number

four. You know where that is?

Yeah. The bullet that I took was intended for him. I'll need a...

or at least a dozen of your top men for around-the-clock security detail.

You got him, Steve.

And, uh, I'll need a driver for at least two weeks.

Better make it someone with a top score in the pistol range.

All clear.

Now, make yourself comfortable.

We'll have some clothes picked up from your house.

Yeah, sure.

Wait a minute.

You call this safe?

A guy in a boat out there could lay a few rounds through this glass. Maybe

even a bazooka shell.

You see that fisherman out there?

Yeah.

And that one?

So, police officers, we've never even lost a duck.

Thank you, officer.

Take me to 737 Kapahulu as fast as you can, please.

Yes, sir.

You've been assigned as my driver?

Yes, sir.

What's your name?

Officer Sandra Wells, HPD, sir.

You were assigned by the chief himself?

Yes, sir. You asked for someone with a high score on the pistol range, and I

was the top of my class at the academy.

Oh, you've only been recently graduated, then, huh? Eight months ago, sir, but

don't worry, I've had plenty of experience.

Juvenile division, bunco squad, and I cruised for two months in a blue and

white with Officer Fred Shigata, and he survived.

Well, it isn't quite the same as riding in a squad car.

I'm aware of that, sir.

What I'm trying to say, Officer Wells... You may call me Sandy.

What I'm trying to tell you is that the people I'm dealing with now are

murderers.

They just tried to kill a witness, and there's no reason they won't try again.

You think it's too dangerous for a woman, is that it?

I didn't say anything about it being too dangerous for a man or a woman.

Mr. McGarrett, if I were afraid of danger, I would never have chosen a

police career.

Besides, you don't want to break the rules, sir.

Rules? What rules?

Regulation 642, paragraph B, states clearly that sex shall not be a barrier

to any police assignment, provided the officer is qualified.

And I assure you, I am qualified.

Just think of General Eisenhower.

Eisenhower? He had a woman driver.

She got him through a war.

Would you fasten your seatbelt, please?

We're closed.

You've just opened, brother.

What happened, McGarrett?

I had a little accident.

Don't you believe in signs?

It said Amusement Corporation out there.

I thought I'd stop in and see what was funny.

You think I ordered that hit this morning? Is that it?

If you didn't order it, how do you know about it?

It hasn't been on the radio or television, not in the papers yet.

Let's stop playing games, Gumgee.

There is no one on this island who would benefit more...

By Billy Madrid getting iced and you.

You must think I'm stupid, McGarrett.

That's all I gotta do is go around shooting cops.

That part was an accident.

But what's going to happen to you won't be any accident.

You're gonna feel the full weight of the law brought down on you and your whole

operation. By you, McGarrett?

Yeah, by me.

With the help of Billy Madrid.

You see, your whole botched-up shooting caper changes nothing.

Because Madrid already signed an affidavit which the D.A. tells me

guarantees a murder one indictment against you.

So you've got a long, long stretch ahead of you.

You'll never make it stick, McGarrett.

Where have I heard that bromide before?

Oh, one other thing. Don't get any ideas about leaving the islands.

All the exits are covered.

Danny. Joe.

Do what you gotta do.

No question about it, Danny. That's the rifle that wounded McGarrett.

Got a serial number?

Right.

32X479. No attempt to scratch it off.

Probably planned to throw it away right after the hit.

What about prints?

Just fragments. I'm trying to piece them together now, see if I can work up an I

.D.

Okay, Jay.

Keep at it.

He runs just about everything around here, doesn't he?

Who's that?

That man you were talking to, Kum Chee?

Yeah, he's into it all.

Gambling, prostitution, dope.

When I was with the juvenile bureau, we had a couple of O.D. deaths.

Just kids, 14, 15 years old.

We heard they were buying their stuff from Kum Chee's pushers, but nobody

could ever prove anything.

Up to now, he's covered himself beautifully, but this time, we've got

him, and I think he knows it.

Mr. McGarrett? Yeah? Would you look behind you?

Yeah. Yeah.

Are you as good behind the wheel as you are in a pistol range?

Try me.

All right, let's see how you take evasive action.

Yes, sir.

You'd better...

Did that very well.

Good, good.

Come on, on the double. Hands against the car.

I said hands against the car.

We're licensed to carry them. Look in my pocket.

Special Security Officer Kum Chi Corporation.

That's a laugh.

You go back and tell your boss we took your pea-shooters away.

You ain't got a right.

No, we're gonna run some ballistics reports on them. And I'm gonna check the

validity of those licenses.

If you're clean, you can pick them up at the property clerk's office any time

after next Friday.

You can tell Kum Chee that if he thinks he can find the witness by sending his

goons to follow me, he's more stupid than I thought he was.

Now, beat it.

How are we gonna get back to town?

It's just about three miles right down that road. I'm sure you'll figure

something out. Beat it.

Just a minute.

You are summoned to appear before the traffic court, city and county of

Honolulu for reckless driving exceeding the speed limit and endangering human

life. The summons is answerable within seven days.

You may have license to carry a gun, but I don't think you'll be driving for much

longer.

That was very good.

Thank you.

How are you feeling, Steve?

Well, looks like I'm gonna live, Jen.

How's he holding up? Not so good. Getting more nervous by the minute.

Hey, who's the dame out there?

The dame is a highly qualified policewoman.

Terrific.

I'm going nuts in this place, McGarrett. Stark raving nuts.

Try a book. I read them all.

How about the television?

Soap opera and game shows? Thanks a lot, pal.

I can send you some 16-millimeter movies and a projector.

I don't want movies.

I want Madeline.

Madeline?

Yeah. She runs a dress shop on Ilicolani Street.

Madeline Gray.

That's the name she goes by. I want her.

That's not exactly my profession.

She happens to be my wife.

Is that okay?

I didn't know you were married.

Yeah.

We split up over a year ago.

My fault. Mr. Bigshot, I was riding high.

Anyway, we're still hitched, and I want her back. You tell her that, McGarrett.

That's not a very good idea. Not now. Why not?

Because we've got to keep this location a secret.

If you want to live.

You don't get it, McGarrett.

I'm not asking you to bring her here.

I'm telling you to.

As if you don't.

Then I don't testify.

Not to a grand jury, not in the courtroom, not to anybody.

You're going to bend on this one.

You're going to bring Madeline here now.

Keep driving around the block.

This is a wonderful style for you, Mrs. Carroll.

It'll give you height.

Dorothy, would you help Mrs. Carroll? Oh, certainly. Would you excuse me for a

moment, please?

Certainly.

Uh, Mrs. Carroll, this cord can be shortened or tied in a bow, however you

prefer.

Have you seen Billy yet? Not yet.

You will.

When you do, tell him I got a message for him.

McGarrett and the lady cop are on their way.

You'll remember.

I'll remember.

Come on.

Mr. McGarrett to see you, Madeline.

Miss Gray?

Yes.

McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0.

I've come at the request of your husband.

Is something wrong?

No, not at all. Not at all. He's safe.

He's in our protective custody, but he wants to see you.

Billy wants to see me?

I'm afraid you've got the wrong lady.

If Billy wants a girl, it's somebody out of the nightclub chorus line in Waikiki.

Somebody tried to kill him today.

Now, that can help a man decide what he really wants.

Now, I must warn you, if you decide to come, you would have to stay with him

until after the trial is over.

That means no mail, no phone calls, no visitors, complete isolation.

That's the way it has to be.

And after the trial?

Well, that's where Five-0 can help. We can give Billy a new identity, find him

a job on the mainland, and if you wish to go with him, we can arrange that

also. But there's no turning back.

A new start, huh?

No more worrying about Billy or what might happen to him.

That's it.

I'd have to sell the shop.

Oh, that can be arranged with attorneys, I'm sure, after you've gone.

You know, it's funny.

Billy treated me like last year's Stiles.

Now that I hear he wants me, it doesn't seem to matter.

I guess I've still got a thing going for him.

You'll take me to him?

Right now.

Date in on the rifle, Danny. It was sold by the Wildlife Sporting Goods Company

to Holland Peters, 2400 Likeney Street, wherever that is.

Likeney Street?

Ends in the 600 block.

Phony figures.

Now the good news.

Che put together a good thumbprint.

Whose? He launched the Jimmy Nogucho.

Kumchi's button man?

That's him. Let's get him.

When I signal, all units hit the house.

Remember, subject is armed and dangerous.

Duke, you ready in the back?

I'm all ready, Danny.

Okay, let's hit it.

Police, open up. You're surrounded.

Wrapping up for the morning.

I've got a message from Cum Chief.

What's that?

He said to tell you that everything's going just fine.

The grand jury returned a true bill based on Billy's testimony.

Kung Chi indicted for murder one.

Good, good, John. Congratulations.

I'll pick him up.

Thanks, Brunch.

You cuffed me, you printed me, you mugged me, and I'm going to sue you and

Five-0 for false arrest.

One call. Make it count. I'll make it count, all right, McGarrett. And I'll be

out of here soon.

You won't make this phony rap stick for five minutes. Give me Chauncey D. Allen.

Let's go.

How do you figure that down?

Chauncey Allen? Best defense attorney in town.

No, no.

I mean, Kung Chi blowing his cool like that.

I've never seen him do that before.

We never nailed him with a murder rap before.

What's up?

Your friend Kung Chi just hired a lawyer.

So?

Chauncey Allen, highest paid criminal lawyer in town. He's a very rough cross

-examiner. Hey, that doesn't scare me. Everything I'm saying is true.

Mr. Sammy's going to look for holes in your testimony, and I want to make sure

they're not there.

Okay, okay, suit yourself.

Where's Madeline? She's in the kitchen.

I'm lucky.

There's some goodies there from the supermarket.

Oh, thanks.

You're a real sweetheart.

Now, Mr. Madrid, you said that you entered the Grand Shack restaurant on

April 24th with Kum Chee, your former employer.

That's right.

Why former employer?

Because I quit.

You quit or were fired?

I quit.

Isn't it a fact, Mr. Madrid, that Kum Chee was dissatisfied with your work and

gave you notice and that you've been bitter against him ever since?

No.

I really like the dresses in your shop.

Thanks. You know, you can spend a lot of money, but good taste is hard to find.

For buyers, too.

There was a number that was black and long and slinky and cut way down to

here. Oh, the Charmaine.

That's a French original.

Yeah, I looked at the price tag. That's a French original, too.

Listen, uh, I've been saving some money in a cookie jar.

Oh, don't buy it yet. Wait for my new spring line. There'll be some lovely

things at popular prices.

And I'll even arrange for a discount.

Mr. Madrid, who did you see sitting in the restaurant?

Harry Kwan.

By himself?

Yeah, that's right.

There was no one else in the restaurant?

Yeah, the waiters in the kitchen. No other customers?

I don't think so.

You're not sure?

It was pretty dark.

Then you couldn't see very well.

Yeah, that's right.

Perhaps not well enough to see who fired the fatal shots.

Wrong. It was dark in back of the room. Next to me, it was clear as day.

And I saw my boss, Kum Chi, take out his gun and put three slugs into Harry Kwan.

Hi, yeah, I was in here the other day, and I saw a dress on a model. It was

long and black and snaky.

Ah, yes, the Charmin egg. Yeah, ah, here it is.

Price hasn't been marked down yet, huh?

Uh, no, I wouldn't count on that.

Oh, Madeline told me she was going to be getting in her spring line.

Do you have any samples you could show me? Well, she hasn't placed the orders

yet. Why don't you try us again in about, oh, say, three weeks. Oh, okay.

Dorothy, can you come here a minute?

Excuse me a minute, please.

Checking his receipts.

I won't be needing you till the noon recess.

Good. That'll give me a chance to check the timing.

Timing?

I think it's retarded. I'll probably have to advance the spark.

Good.

Advance the spark.

Will you state your name and address for the record?

Billy Madrid, 1056 Hunakai Street, Honolulu.

Your most recent occupation?

Security chief, Kumchi Amusement Corporation.

Were you so employed on April 24th of this year?

That's right.

What happened when you got to Hanama Bay?

He told me to stop the car and then he threw the gun into the bay.

The same gun that he used to shoot Harry Kwan just half an hour before.

That's right.

Your witness.

Mr. Madrid, you said that when you entered the Grass Shack restaurant, it

was dark.

Yeah, that's right.

Especially in the back.

That's right.

And that the waiters were in the kitchen.

Yeah.

Ever worked in a kitchen, Mr. Madrid?

Oh, yeah.

You need lights, don't you?

That's right.

So if it was dark in the back, then the kitchen door must have been closed.

That's right.

Then how do you know the waiters were in the kitchen?

Repeat the question, Mr. Madrid.

If the kitchen door was closed, how do you know the waiters were there?

Because I heard them.

You mean you heard voices?

Well, no, I heard this one waiter, Louis Rabaulet. He's got a loud, husky voice,

and I just know that voice.

And when you heard someone in the kitchen that you knew, how did you

react? I looked up.

Your eyes toward the kitchen door?

Yeah, that's right.

At the same time, the fatal shots were fired.

Well, I... No, I... A man's life could be at stake.

Now, tell us, did you, in fact, look away when the fatal shots were being

fired? Don't remember.

Do you remember not looking away? Well, no.

Then it is possible that you did look away, that, in fact, you were not an

eyewitness to this murder at all. Look, everything, it happened so fast. I mean,

everything that happened... Is it possible, Mr. Madrid?

It's possible.

No further questions.

Your Honor, the state asks Lee to redirect.

Granted. Mr. Madrid, are you aware that your testimony is in direct conflict

with statements you made previously?

In sworn affidavits and before a grand jury, are you aware that you can be

charged with perjury?

See what I said before?

I mean, I had to say.

He said if I didn't, he'd bust every bone in my body.

Who told you that?

McGarrett.

Okay, John, what's our legal position?

I'll make it simple, Steve.

The judge is boiling mad at me, at Five-O, and everybody concerned with the

prosecution. Oh, come on. Are you saying that he believes that...

Perjured statement.

No, I'm saying he's angry at us for failing to come up with evidence to gain

a conviction.

He's given us till Monday morning at 10 o'clock to come up with something

concrete, or else he'll probably order dismissal. And once he does, Kum Chi can

never be tried on that charge again. He's protected by the double jeopardy

clause of the U.S. Constitution.

That's right.

Even now he's been released in his attorney's custody pending continuation

on Monday.

Boy, that's beautiful.

That's beautiful. We think we're so smart.

And here's a guy who comes up with a legal gimmick, a foolproof scheme to get

out of a murder charge.

And it's so simple.

So simple.

You arrange with a pal to appear against you as a witness.

Then you have somebody take a couple of shots at him, near misses, to establish

credibility.

And then you go to court.

The pal changes his testimony, the case is thrown out, and you are free

of the charge forever.

That's just a hypothesis, Steve.

Dano, will you come in with Miss Wells, please?

Only a hypothesis, perhaps, but backed up by some additional evidence.

Come in, please. Officer Wells, you know our district attorney, John Monaco? Yes,

sir. Sit down, please.

Thank you.

Tell us what you found out.

I was in the safe house with Billy's wife. She told me she was going to order

the new spring line of dresses.

Well, any woman can tell you that you order your spring line in the fall, say,

a week or two from now.

I thought that was very funny if she was going to sell the shop and then go with

Billy to start a new life.

So I went back to the shop in plain clothes, and I asked if the new spring

line had already been ordered or if it was going to be done.

And it's going to be done.

Good work.

Thank you.

I also noticed something interesting.

One of Kum Chee's muscle men was in the office, and I think he was checking the

books. Which all ties in, John.

That dress shop is a Kum Chee enterprise.

Madeline Gray works for Kum Chee, and so does Billy Madrid.

Nothing has changed.

They are all in it together.

Looks like we've been had.

But good.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Remember, we still have until 10 o'clock Monday morning.

See you in court Monday, McGarrett.

You really expect to be there?

What's that supposed to mean?

Starting Monday, Kum Chee's a free man unless you change your testimony again.

Can he risk that?

Billy, you're a loose end, and we know what Kum Chee does with loose ends,

don't we?

Huh?

Give it some thought.

Okay, let's go.

How we doing?

Hey, big Luis. Still going to Iowa, huh?

How's it going, bud?

Hey, kid, what's your name?

Okay, Chef. We're gonna have some champagne to start with.

I want the good stuff from the cellar. Take care of that.

Well, hiya, honey.

Hiya. See?

Charminé.

cookie jars full of big newtons again but it was worth every penny of it don't

you think huh yes it's lovely now gordon now you don't have to worry about cookie

jars because you can get anything you want from come chi right well it's true

isn't it i mean the two of you cooked up the whole thing you know what you can

send him away on a first degree conspiracy rap anytime you decide to

sing and if i were you i would start taking singing lessons you know it could

be worth Five, six grand a month, right?

Why don't you do me a favor and go back and sit at the bar, because you're

sucking wind, baby.

Come, she and I are like brothers.

We are brothers.

Take a hike, okay?

I know, I know.

Even the ears have walls, right?

Or is that the other way around?

Marvin! Marvin, will you take me home?

This is my friend Marvin.

Yeah, Marvin, why don't you do that?

Come on now.

You drink too much. Did you know that?

This is Officer Sandra Wells.

Patch me through to 5-0.

McGarrett. This is Sandy.

The seeds have been planted, and I think they have taken root.

Okay. Let's let them grow overnight, and tomorrow we move.

Wait a minute, Madeline.

Those guys out there, who are they?

Well, I don't know.

Cops?

No way.

I know every plainclothes guy on the floor.

Guys, those are lawyer's shirts. They're brand new.

Well, maybe they're just new neighbors. Ah, come on.

Let's stop imagining things. I'm not imagining anything.

Yeah? This is Billy Madrid.

It's important.

Billy Madrid, he said it's important.

What, is he crazy, calling me here?

Not in.

Yeah, it's important.

It's him again.

You out of your head or something?

Listen, Comche, whoever these guys are outside, call them off, would you?

You don't need them with me, pal.

I don't know what you're gassing about.

Well, I'm gassing about friendship.

I mean, it's there. It's been proved.

You don't have to believe any crazy talk you might hear on the streets or from

drunks in bars.

The friendship is there.

And you don't have to bring any mainland pressure in to enforce it.

What do you say, all right?

I think maybe we're gonna have some trouble with Billy.

I don't want to. No trouble.

You hear that, Benny?

Behind him.

That may not be him.

Way to point out.

But we found something else.

What?

You in a hurry?

I'm sorry, officer.

I wasn't watching.

Let's see your driver's license, please.

Oh, sure.

Here you go.

What'd I do wrong?

Come with me, please.

Both of you.

Hey, wait a minute.

He did it.

He killed Harry Kwan.

I saw him do it.

I saw him shoot Harry Kwan in the head three times.

Now, what I said about looking the other way and about McGarrett twisting my arm,

that was a lie.

That's what I was supposed to say so Kunchi would be sprung.

But I'm not lying for you, Kum Chi, no more!

Now, you killed Harry Kwan, and then you tried to kill me, brother!

Yes?

Officer Gordon to see you, sir.

Oh, yes. Send him in, please.

Just came up to say goodbye, Steve.

I've got a 2 o'clock flight back to the mainland.

Frank went on ahead.

Appreciate your help, Ralph.

Please tell Chief Pennelly that I'm grateful he could send two of his best

men. Boy, you really shook Billy up, didn't you?

Well, we did our best.

But frankly, we'd never go as far as you did.

What do you mean, as far as I did?

Blowing up Billy's car.

We'd get axed for a stunt like that.

Now, wait a minute.

Do you think that I was the one who blew up Billy's car?

We assumed you ordered it, Steve.

I mean, I thought you told her to have it done.

Her? The lady cop.

Just a minute.

Is Officer Wells here?

She's just arrived, sir. Send her in, please.

We'll get this straightened out right now.

Look! No, you look.

I've just been told about Billy Madrid's car.

What? I don't know who you conspired with, but if it was anybody in HPD, I

can assure you that they will be severely disciplined along with you.

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

Blowing up Billy Madrid's car was a stupid and dangerous stunt, not to

mention a highly illegal one.

Now, in this office, Miss Wells, we do not intimidate witnesses, physically or

otherwise. And we never risk lives in order to obtain a conviction.

Never. Mr. McGarrett, I had nothing to do with blowing up Billy Madrid's car.

But this does. It's from the district attorney marked urgent for you.

Benny Silvera, Kumchi's lieutenant, has turned state's evidence.

Denies any connection with the death of Harry Kwan.

But admits planting a bomb in Billy Madrid's car.

on Kum Chee's orders.

Well, Ralph, give Chief Pennelly my regards.

Sorry, miss.

You were saying, Mr. McGarrett?

I was saying, Officer Wells, that I... I guess I should have started

with a question instead of an accusation.

He thought that you suggested blowing the car.

I am a highly trained professional police officer.

I could never be a party to such a stupid and dangerous, not to mention

highly illegal stunt, as you put it.

Touché. My apologies, Officer Wells.

My sincere apologies.

You may call me Sandy.

Okay, Sandy.

Have the car washed, get it gassed up. Pick me up in the morning at my

apartment at 7 a.m. sharp.

You've got the job.

Yes, sir.
