My name is Dan Williams, 5-0.

Good, then maybe something will come of this.

They think it might be a suicide.

Dead?

How? Found her body below the cliff trail.

It happened last night.

The rule book says I should take you off the case, Dan. You are emotionally

involved. But my instinct says otherwise.

What are you trying to do to me, pal?

Trying to cut you loose, Ben.

Off to the right. The red board.

My God.

They're going to kill each other. We've got to get to them.

of the few locals that has the californians and australians worried in

today's competition you can see where he got his nickname ricochet

and there's australia now

roger did it ripping a clean classic bottom turn the surf conditions are

almost ideal today for this the fifth annual sandy beach pro-am surfing

classic

They're keeping the judges real busy.

And that's the horn ending the second heat.

Coming up in the third heat, keep your eye on Gavin McNabb, a young man from

Malibu who's been doing real well in the competition today.

Another strong contender is Stoker Elston from Melbourne, Australia. Last

year, Stoker came very close to winning all the money in this competition, and

he's back again trying this year. Gavin McNabb, take it all.

with another spectacular ride. That's gonna score a lot of points.

Wilbur, are you supposed to keep your mind on the competition with all these

bikinis around?

Say, Ben, righteous wave.

Thanks. Hey, you got any extra wax?

Yeah, here.

Hey, the girls must really go for this.

Yeah, my own creation. Sweet mango.

You put a little behind your ears and they tell you right off the board.

Results of the second heat.

Ant Mikea of Hawaii first.

Roger Dillon of Australia second.

Say, Ben, good work.

In the quarterfinals.

See you tomorrow.

Your wax. Keep it.

Thanks. Return the favor tomorrow.

Don't drop into my way.

Thank God. There's plenty of water.

I just want to tell you what a fine job you judges are doing, especially on that

last seat.

Would you say that if I told you I almost scored an Aussie above you?

Yeah, that's American, Danny.

You gotta support your local surfer.

Go get him.

Right on.

Yeah, they're really cooking out there. White kind of waves.

Hey, what you got there? It's your mother's birthday present.

Oh, wow.

Hey, this must have cost you. Nah, I made it.

She's gonna love it. Yeah, well, I like her.

Well, you ready to go?

Almost. I just want to try out this new board and a couple of walks.

Ben, we're supposed to be at your folks' house.

Just a half an hour. Hey, it'll take you that long just to paddle out there, and

I gotta be to work by four.

I want to make sure that I tune up for tomorrow's quarterfinals.

Ben, it's your mother's birthday.

Why do you always make an excuse when we're supposed to be there together?

Honey, we got a shot at $5,000.

I just want to make sure this is the right stick to use.

Someday you're going to have to make a decision, me or that surfboard.

Hey, friend.

Long time.

Hi, Gavin.

Hey, don't you remember? We had a good thing going last year.

Yeah, that was last year.

Well, who is it this time?

Look, I don't feel like talking right now, all right?

It's not Ben Hanakeyan.

Bye, Gavin.

I told you guys once before, get your hands off of me!

Yeah? I want my lawyer. Now!

Bringing him in now, Chief.

I think I hear that familiar sound.

Yeah. I'll get back to you as soon as we have our little visit.

Sit down.

Yes, sir. Glad to.

Sit down.

So what's your charge, McGarrett? What's your charge against me?

No official charge yet.

Just thought we'd have a little chat.

I got a limited education, McGarrett.

And you know something? We don't talk the same language.

We understand certain words in common, like dope, prostitution,

shakedown. You may not know how to spell them, but you sure as hell know what

they mean.

All I know is I don't have to answer no questions, and I got a right to call a

lawyer. You're going to need more than a lawyer one of these days, Charlie.

You're going to need a long rest at the state's expense.

Garrett. Steve. Oh, yeah, Donna. Where are you?

North Shore, Steve. Sunset Beach.

Got a surfing contest going here.

Aren't you getting a little low for that sort of thing?

I'm judging, not competing.

Who's winning?

Smart Money's on the surf.

When are you coming back?

Well, I got another day here unless you need me.

No, no, I'll be in the pistol range qualifying in the morning. I'll be down

in the boat in the afternoon in case you need me.

Don't capsize.

Don't get wiped out. And, Dano, be sure you judge the surfers, not the bikinis,

huh?

Okay, Charlie, you can go now, but figure on coming back soon.

Charlie? What?

Who's your tailor?

Give me two Mai Tais.

Not exactly a nice day, huh?

You ever fight with Ben? This one's serious.

Cultural differences or the circle?

Both.

Promontory pub.

Lookie there.

Who?

Ben,

is this you?

Yeah. Yeah, it's Ben.

I can't hear you.

Tell her it's her coconut chaser.

Hold on a second

Said

to tell you it's your coconut chaser

coconut chaser Tell him I'm busy. Would you?

Okay, tell him I'm gonna take a break and I'll see him at home in a few

minutes

But she said to tell you she's busy right now.

She'll be home in a few minutes.

Yeah, okay.

Okay. Bye-bye.

Go ahead.

Walk by me like I'm a parking meter.

Why not? Your time's expired.

Hey, why didn't you answer my letters?

Because you never wrote any.

And mine came back after being forwarded to Jane Corbett in Durban, South Africa,

and Janice somebody in Marina Del Rey.

Bailing addresses, Laura.

Look, it was never like you and me.

I got nobody else.

No one.

Oh, poor thing.

You Malibu types come on all shy and lonely.

Poor little lost puppies in a bar.

I was serious, Laura.

No, you weren't. You never were.

You don't know how.

Well, you must have been hurting pretty bad to pick up with that no-neck

gorilla. Are you referring to Ben?

Hey!

Look, I'm sorry, right? Let's lighten up a little. It just so happens that Ben's

a decent human being, and I love him. And next to you... Don't go comparing me

to that kanaka!

Gavin, your macho is bleeding.

Big surfer type, super stud.

Yeah, you're tall on the waves, but you're short on the beach.

I'm going to see what that's about. It looks serious. Okay, Carl, hope they're

showing up. They can go in for you. Good.

Looks like she went off about here.

You can see all the pebbles have moved around.

Chicago, maybe?

You know her name?

Laura Davidson.

Lorca.

Not Laura.

This is Elaine Sebastian.

They work together.

Sebastian, when was the last time you saw me? Are you going to ask me more

questions?

My name is Dan Williams, 5-0.

Good, then maybe something will come of this.

They think it might be a suicide.

What do you think it might be? Ask Ben.

Ben Hanakea?

Yeah, ask him. They had a fight yesterday.

He called her at work and she went to meet him.

And that was the last time I saw her.

Danny.

She's got something in her hand.

It's like a piece of a T-shirt.

I'll let Doc remove it in case there's something under her nails.

Okay.

Why is it whenever I get on a pistol range, you call me, Dana?

Why is it you always let me know where you can be reached?

Okay, Bullseye, what do you got?

Possible homicide on the North Shore.

A girlfriend of a surfer named Ben Hanakea.

Well, who's he?

The car booster. Wanted to be a detective, remember?

That's an eight-speed.

Dana, what's it got to do with us?

I know, Steve, but with his record, it might get complicated.

I'd like to help him if I can.

That's your time. Go ahead if you want. Closed competition for Ben Hanakea

taking off for the next wave. Behind him, Gavin McNabb looks like he's going

for a wave.

It's a terrible wave moment for Gavin McNabb with Ben Hanakea completing his

ride.

Did you see my last wave? Yeah.

Why aren't you up on that kahuna throne giving me a perfect score?

I got something to tell you, Ben.

You gonna tell me I'm disqualified because of McNabb wiping out? He stole

that wave and it ate him because he was in the wrong place.

It's about Lorca, Ben.

Happened last night.

I'm sorry.

You seen Hunter, Kaya?

Yeah, he's right over there talking to the judge.

You see the way that guy cut me off?

Man, that was his wave.

Yeah.

You mean somebody could have pushed her off?

We don't know.

We did find a piece of a T-shirt in her hand. What kind of T-shirt? Was it a

guy's? We'll know more after the lab gets through with it.

Meanwhile, let's go back to my office, huh?

Okay.

Hey, Ben, let's go over everything.

You didn't see or talk to Lorca last night?

No.

Usually after a hassle, she stayed with Elaine.

Elaine said that you telephoned Lorca at 6.15 last night.

She's mixed up.

The night before, I did.

Last night, I was in the water till dark. You know that.

No, I left after the last heat.

Danny, Doc Bergman, line three.

Thanks, dude.

Morning, Doc.

I see.

Get the fabric over to Charlie for analysis.

I'll talk to you later.

Fatal injuries were caused by the impact of the fall.

Got to find the rest of that shirt, Duke.

HPD is getting search warrants for the hotel area and property along the path.

That'll include your place, Ben.

If you think that's my shirt, man, you're spinning your wheels.

The sooner we find it, the sooner you're clear.

Danny, do you think I'd kill the woman I'm gonna marry?

Ben, nobody here is ready to think that. You understand?

Nobody.

You don't need a search warrant for my place.

Good.

Duke, have HPD search Ben's place first.

Right.

Did anybody see you leave the area?

I don't know.

Did you talk to anybody after you got out of the water?

No. Well, you understand we have to follow your whereabouts last night. You

know, totally, we gotta know where you were.

Yeah.

You still interested in becoming a policeman?

Yeah.

I want to take one last shot at professional surfing before I apply.

You can always stay at my place, Ben, if there are too many memories of Walker at

your house.

Why do it, Brown?

Turn left here. First house.

Haven't found anything, have you?

Not yet.

We're about to move down the path and work our way back to the hotel.

It's the right color.

Ben?

Is this yours?

Hey! No shooting! No shooting!

Hey!

Ben!

What are you making in there?

Lao lao, old style.

You better wash up if you want it hot.

What's the matter, Ben?

Nobody told you?

No. What have you done?

I've done nothing.

Lorca's dead.

Murdered. Oh, mercy God!

You think you did it?

It's all crazy, but I'm gonna find the guy who did.

She was just here yesterday. She gave me this.

You were supposed to be with her.

I was hoping you would marry her.

Me too.

Where are you going? You don't have to lie about what you don't know

Come on.

I'm looking for Ben.

He's not here.

Have you seen him?

Yes.

Was he in that truck?

Look, I got Ben out of one mess.

I'd like the chance to help him again.

Yeah, he's in the truck. Where were they going?

He wouldn't say.

Wherever he's going, he's just building a case against himself.

When you see him, make him call me.

Tell him he's not the only one who thinks he's innocent.

You know where Ben Hanake is, don't you?

Yeah, he won't get the ice melt.

Hey, Lulu.

Yeah? You know where Ricochet went?

Yeah. He not gonna come back.

He went one different place.

That's your place.

Then Ricochet went the right place then?

For sure.

Hey, I saw your truck come down from Ricochet's place.

You keep him right by and by, maybe you catch plenty jail.

You savvy?

Big mouth.

I think you should see this. It was found in a trash can outside Ben

Henakea's house.

The murderer must have been leaning over and the victim clawed at him.

Oh, perhaps.

But the medical examiner didn't mention any skin tissue into the girl's

fingernails.

Of course, it's purely conjecture that the shirt belonged to Ben Hanake in the

first place.

Hey, Dano, how'd you go into North Shore?

Brothers are closing ranks. He's there. It's just going to take time to find

him. How much time?

Oh, excuse me. Miss Sonata, my associate Danny Williams. Dano, this is Miss

Sonata, our new assistant DA.

Miss, please.

Sorry. How do you do?

You were assigned to this case?

Yes, I was assigned when the suspect was in custody.

Prematurely, it appears.

Oh, we'll find him. Don't worry.

Difficult part is bringing him in without hurting anyone.

I understand he's a friend of yours.

I've known Ben quite a while.

What size t-shirt does he wear?

Same as a lot of other people.

I tend to believe that shirt is not his.

Are you suggesting that he's innocent?

Until proven guilty, that's the way it usually works. Well, shouldn't the APB

have included the words armed and dangerous? I have no reason to believe

he's armed.

But he is a logical suspect, Dano, and he does have a record.

Resisted arrest every time they picked him up.

He was a scrappy kid.

Proficient with a knife.

His last defense was six years ago. People change.

Whether he's innocent of this crime or not, he has demonstrated a conditioned

reflex, a violent response to authority.

The rule book says I should take you off the case, Daniel. You are emotionally

involved. But my instinct says otherwise.

If there is anyone who couldn't talk him in quietly, it's you.

Thanks, D.

But I think you should know that Chin and Duke will be working on other angles

of this case.

I understand.

Nice to meet you.

Yes.

It's open. Just leave him on the table.

It's only me, Elaine. Relax.

Relax. I need your help.

If you calm down, I'll let you go.

The police, they told me that I called Lorica at

work yesterday.

I was on a surfboard a half mile offshore.

You couldn't have talked to me.

But it sounded like you, Ben.

How could you believe that I would do anything to hurt Lorica?

I loved her.

Elaine, you gotta help me.

Did she talk to him?

No, she couldn't.

She told me to tell him she was going right home after her break.

Ben, who could it be?

I don't know.

But I'll find out.

Did she have anybody on the side?

Then you know better than that.

A drunk, a heavy breather.

I doubt it. They didn't bother her.

She got off work before the bar closed, and she went straight home to you.

It must have been somebody else. Somebody called her.

But who?

Look, I got to go back to work.

Listen, if you find out anything, you leave a note at the water and power,

okay?

I will.

Thank you.

Look, I may have made a big mistake.

What do you mean?

Well, I've just talked to Ben.

Is he okay?

Yes, but after talking to him... What?

Well, I don't think he made that phone call.

Where is he? How can I reach him?

Well, maybe I shouldn't have called.

Elaine, you'll be helping Ben by telling me how to reach him. Don't you see the

trouble he can get into?

But... Look, we all want the same answers, don't we?

I just got a call from Elaine Sebastian, a girl who said Ben called Lorca at the

hotel the night she died.

Now she's changed her mind. Why?

Ben came to see her. Apparently he convinced her she was wrong.

Does she know where we can find Ben?

No, but I do, because he told Elaine to leave her message at the water and power

board.

Well, you stake the place out, Dan. I'll leave the message.

You'll get all the help you need.

Steve, I'd rather do it alone.

Ben may even be armed, and you know what a hothead he can be.

What makes you think he won't take a shot at you?

I try to think positively.

That's good. Think positively.

I'm all for that. But carry a big stick. All the time.

Great.

Hey!

I'm chasing you around.

Back off, guys.

Let's do it, brother. Okay.

Steve, I have just devoted a day of my life to the study of surfing wax.

Well, that should make you the leading authority on wax, shouldn't it, Charlie?

Do you know what they use this for, Steve?

Sure. Surfers rub it on their boards so their feet won't slip, right?

Right. There are several types.

Their consistency varies according to preference and water temperature.

As you can see, there's a variety of shapes, colors, and fragrance.

Fragrance?

You mean surfers want their boards to smell good?

Apparently.

At any rate, I've found that the yellow substance under the victim's fingernails

is wax.

from the right front side of this T-shirt.

But I don't know how it got there.

Probably from carrying a board.

On hot days, some guys don't want their wax exposed to the sun.

Then, uh, what kind of wax does Ben use, do you know?

Most of the locals use this, clear paraffin.

It's as good as anything else, costs less.

The shack will be more helpful, Steve.

But my only conclusion is that you're looking for surf wax that's probably

homemade or put up in small quantities.

Well, we've got a lot of checking to do, so let's start with the surfboards of

that contest, huh? It's been postponed because of high winds, but I'll check

the dorms and the hotels.

And don't forget Ben's home.

Right.

Good work, Charlie.

You're a beverage counselor.

What'll it be, mate? How did you know he was a down-under?

Wild guess.

Well, it's real easy when you smell like a kangaroo, Rog.

Beer, please.

Hey, brew for me, too.

Another beer, please.

Hey, what part of California are you from?

Northern.

Monterey. No, further north. San Francisco.

Seattle.

Seattle, California?

Yeah.

here last year weren't we late one night could be i've gotten ripped here more

than once hey gab didn't you have some really nice lady tucked away in this

neighborhood laura somebody wasn't it that's right laura that was a long time

ago hey gab whatever happened well i was aced out by some coconut juice

Easy, Seattle.

I'm sorry. These sandals are a hazard.

We could smooth that over with a couple of surfing lessons.

You know, I used to body surf at Makapu.

You certainly have the right equipment for that.

Look, I've got some orders double-parked.

Yes, please connect me with Hawaii Five-O. And hurry.

For one moment, please.

Danny, for you.

Thank you, ma'am.

Oh, it's nothing important.

Hello? Who is this?

Well, when she comes back in, have her call Elaine Sebastian.

Thank you.

The sponsors of our contest are throwing us a little do-on tonight, and I would

be more than happy to provide you with an escort.

Oh, well, I wish I could, but I'm going to Honolulu tonight.

Aha. Well, I'm sure it'll be going on tomorrow night.

Well, yeah, I get off at nine.

That's not too late. No, that's great.

I'll pick you up. Here.

No, no, no. I'll pick you up. I want to change.

Besides, you'd never find my place.

Where is that?

Little place down at Sunset Beach.

The bar? Yeah. Yeah, I know. Right.

Oh, the name's Gavin McNabb.

Oh, he's late in Sebastian.

9.30?

How am I doing?

We'd like to ask you a couple of questions.

Fire away.

This wax belong to you?

No. Found it in your swimsuit and on your board.

I may have borrowed some.

Wait a minute.

He made it himself.

McNab.

He's the one. That's the man you're looking for.

McNab.

Wax from this cake was on the T-shirt we found at your place.

But it was not my T-shirt.

I don't know where it came from, but it wasn't my T-shirt.

What are you trying to do to me, bro?

Trying to cut you loose, Ben.

But the evidence keeps stacking up the other way.

What evidence?

Some borrowed wax?

Listen!

I'm telling you that wax belongs to a guy from California named McNabb.

Find him.

He's your man.

Okay, well, we'll talk to her.

You don't believe me!

Danny! Danny!

Who's the help you're gonna give me?

Danny, Steve wants to see you. Wiki wiki. Thank you, Lonnie.

Come on in, Daryl. Elaine thinks she knows we made that call.

A surfer I overheard at the bar used the expression coconut chaser, and so did

the caller.

And after thinking about it, I don't think Ben would refer to himself that

way. Who's the surfer?

Gavin McNabb.

McNabb.

Ben said the wax the lab found on the T-shirt is exactly the same kind of wax

he borrowed from McNabb.

Can we prove that?

I don't know, but it fits in exactly with what Elaine's saying.

Well, I think we ought to have a talk with Mr. McNabb.

If we can establish a prior relationship between Lorca and McNabb,

That could do it.

Mr. Williams, you still think your friend Ben is innocent?

I know he's innocent.

Really? Then it might interest you to know he's just escaped.

Excuse me, could I have a peek? My boyfriend just took an awful wipe out. I

want to see if he's okay.

Sure, go ahead.

Thank you.

Are you sure McNabb is here today, Denner?

Gotta be, Steve. He's leading this heat.

Up to the right. The red board.

My God.

They're going to kill each other. We've got to get to them.

Can we get out to them somehow?

I don't know. Randy, can you get a boat out there? No way. Surf's too heavy.

Lifeguards down there on long boards.

Pass that bullhorn over, please.

Lifeguards.

Lifeguards.

Rescue.

Rescue. Man unconscious inside the lineup.

Tell him a little more to the right.

More to the right.

Have you got your walkie-talkie with you down there? Yeah. Keep that radio

contact.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Get away from me.

You want to know what happened? I know what happened. Now let me out of here.

It wasn't my fault. She slipped.

Get over there.

Look, I don't want you running out of here screaming murder.

We're gonna.

See how easy it was.

I didn't want her to go over. I hit her, but I didn't want her to go over. I

believe you. I swear I do.

Please, I believe you. That's why you were helping the police, right?

I wish I didn't have to do this.

Hold it!

Stand!

Put your hands on your head.

Hands against the rocks.

Come on.

You all right?

Yeah, I think so.

This is why he was after me.

No, Ben, easy.

He's ours. Hold it.

All right, book him, Duke.

Suspicion of manslaughter and attempted murder. And this is for you, Ben. I have

a couple of things.

You know, the assistant DA doesn't take easily to jail grits.

Neither does the police academy.

Maybe I can prevail upon Ms.

Sonata to forget the whole thing.

If you're serious about the police academy, a recommendation from your

friend Danny Williams might help.

I don't know, Steve.

He's stolen a lot of waves off of me.

Yeah.

And his second recommendation from a tough old Irish cop I know wouldn't hurt

either.

That's practically a scholarship, Ben.

Thank you, Mr. McGarrett.

You'll never regret it.
