There's something
about starting your day

alone on the water.

Peace that comes
with that kind of solitude.

Out here, you can
forget all your worries

and just be in the moment.

Ahoy, Captain!

Well, there goes my alone time.

Hey.

Double cap, extra
dry, just like you like it.

Before I accept this, I want to
know what it's gonna cost me.

Just your advice. God
knows I could use some.

Okay. What's up?

It's Suzy, man.

I got it bad. Like, really bad.

Only thing is it's just
a little complicated.

You mean because you're her boss

and if you ask her out, she
may feel pressured to say yes.

Not to mention if
she does say no,

could make for an
awkward workplace.

Which is why I was thinking

maybe you could
ask her out for me.

Okay. So, when you
said you wanted advice,

what you really were saying
was you wanted a favor.

Come on, where's
your compassion, man?

I really like this
woman. What is this,

fifth grade? I go

I got to go talk to the
cute girl in class for you,

maybe slip her a note?

Please, come on.
You're acting just like TC.

You mean reasoned
and intelligent.

No, I mean he's like the
angel on my shoulder.

He's always pushing
me to do the right thing.

You are supposed to be my devil.

Pretty sure I should
be offended by that.

I just don't get why
I can't ask out Suzy.

I mean, and if Higgins gets to
date her doctor, why shouldn't I

ask out an employee?

- Is that Higgins' horse?
- Yeah.

Easy, girl.

It get out of the stable?

Don't think so. She
wouldn't be saddled.

Yeah, okay.

We'll call you when we find her.

Kumu said Higgins
left over an hour ago.

I don't get it. If she fell or
had an accident or something,

why wouldn't she
call out for help?

I don't know. I mean, she
could have been thrown off.

Could be unconscious
for all we know.

Higgins!

Higgy!

Over here.

It's Higgins' phone.

Thomas, blood.

I got drag marks, Thomas.

They lead this way.

Tire tracks.

Someone was waiting with a car.

They knew Higgins would
be coming through here.

And now they have her.

Torque wrench.

If you're gonna buy a
20-plus-year-old truck,

you should probably learn
how to keep it running, right?

Yeah, I guess.

How's school?

Mom says you're
keeping your grades up.

Yeah.

How about basketball?

Is, Coach giving
you more minutes?

He moved me to the two.

Said I was giving up too
much height at forward.

Yeah, well, I may partially
be to blame for that.

Katsumoto men tend
to top out at five-ten.

So, you think you can fix it?

Let's see.

Give it another try.

That's good.

That's what I was afraid
of. Alternator's blown.

Great.

Tell you what.

I'll pick up a new
one for you this week.

That should get you
up and running again.

Cool.

So, you know what? The day
doesn't have to be a total loss.

Why don't we go
grab some breakfast.

We could hit Sweet E's.

Sure. I guess.

Okay. Good.

You should probably get that.

Could be important.

What?

Why would someone do this?

I don't know. But whoever it
is, they did their homework.

They knew Higgins' schedule

and that she'd be
her most vulnerable

during that morning ride.

Yo. What do we know so far?

Not much.

Katsumoto is leading
the investigation.

HPD's processing the scene.

But why Juliet?

Why would someone
want to take her?

Could be something
from her MI6 days.

Blow back from an old assignment.

Or it could be a money play.

Yeah, Higgins owns Robin's Nest.

Worth a lot of cash.
At least on paper.

What? What is it?

My God.

Get your phone.
You got to record this.

Okay.

Got it.

Hello?

Do I have your
attention, Mr. Magnum?

You do.

Good. Listen carefully.

Three hours from now, a
prisoner will be transported

out of Wahiawa Penitentiary.

The size of the
convoy is unknown,

but security will be heavy.
Why are you telling me this?

Because if you ever want to
see Ms. Higgins alive again,

you're gonna free that prisoner.

Do we tell the police?
No. Not yet, at least.

Limits our options.

I've seen that look before.
What are you thinking?

I've been followed for
a couple months, right?

Now Higgins gets taken?

You think it's the same
person? I mean, think about it.

Somebody does surveillance
on me; They identify Higgins

as someone they can
use to leverage me.

Yeah, but why you? I
mean, you're capable, sure,

but if this guy's just looking

to bust somebody out of prison,

plenty of people that'll
do it for the right price.

Got to be some other
reason that he's targeting you.

Kumu, could you leave, please?

What? Why?

Because what we're
about to discuss

is highly illegal, and the less
you know about it the better.

Please.

Just bring her home, okay?

So we doing this thing?

I don't see any other choice.

One thing I do know is that we
got to keep Katsumoto out of it.

Come on, Thomas,
you know you can't

I know what you're
gonna say, right?

He's put his job on the
line for us a thousand times.

But this is different.

I mean, if he knows a crime
is about to be committed...

A prison break no less...

He can't just stand
by and let that happen.

Hey, I just got off the
phone with Icepick.

He gave me the name of the
prisoner that's being moved. Who is it?

Guy's name is Elliott Hamler.

You know him? Yeah.

Mind if I ask you how long
you've been doing this?

A few months.

I see.

Look, Mr. Hamler, if
you're looking for someone

with more experience, I get it.

You can find that on the island,

but I can promise you this.

No one's gonna work
harder for you than I will.

You know, I read up on you.

Former Navy SEAL.

Spent 18 months being
held captive by the Taliban.

Takes a lot of resilience to
survive something like that.

Yes, sir.

My son enlisted out of college.

He's stationed at Al-Asad.

I have a lot of respect
for those who serve.

Appreciate it.

So why don't you tell
me how I can help you.

My wife,

Kiana...

She's struggled with
substance abuse in the past.

Thought it was behind us,

but two days ago, she emptied
one of our checking accounts

and disappeared.

You want me to find her.

Cops say they can't do anything.

Kiana is everything to me.

There's nothing I wouldn't
do to bring her home safely.

Well, Mr. Hamler, you have
yourself a private investigator.

So, wait, if this Hamler guy

was your client, then
how'd he end up in prison?

I put him there.

Okay, well, guess
that's a bigger story

that we'll have to
hear about later.

Any update? CSU took
casts of the tire treads

and pulled traffic
cams in the area.

We identified the
kidnapper's vehicle,

but unfortunately it
came back as stolen.

Owner's out of town, didn't
even know it was gone.

So it's a dead end. Afraid so.

But given how well our
kidnapper covered his tracks,

and the fact that they clearly
knew Higgins's schedule,

I have a hunch this may
be connected to the person

who was following you
guys a couple months back.

Yeah, TM was just
saying that same thing.

Magnum, listen, for all we know,

you could be a target, too.

That's why I need to
ask you to stand down.

I'm also gonna post a
protection detail outside.

H-Hang on, Gordie,
you're gonna bench us

while Higgins is
in trouble? I am.

HPD is doing everything we
can to find her. Let us do our job.

You know what?
I think he's right.

Guys, we're too
close to this, all right?

We got to let HPD take this one.

Thanks.

Let you guys know
if I find anything.

Now, please tell me we're not
standing down. Of course not.

All right, good.

How we gonna get past
the protection detail?

You let me handle that.

More?

I do have a question, though.

Why bother giving me water
when you clearly plan to kill me?

Why would you assume that?

Because if I had any chance
of getting out of here alive,

you would never have
let me see your face.

You surviving this depends
entirely on your friend,

Mr. Magnum.

If he delivers what's
been asked of him,

I'll be leaving the country,

and no one will
ever see me again.

But if he fails,

well, you said it yourself.

Sorry, Officer. Was
I going too fast?

All right, first
order of business,

we got to do some recon.

See if we can figure
out everything we can

about this prison transport.

I'd say we should just
hack Wahiawa's server,

but Higgy's our go-to
for that sort of thing.

Don't get me
wrong, Higgy's great,

but she's not the only
hacker on the island.

You know a guy? I always do.

That's your computer wiz?

Yeah, trust me,
this kid's got skills.

He had this scam
going at Oahu State

where he'd trade
cash for grades.

He gave himself a triple PhD

and then he got busted
for fraud and identity theft.

Hey, what's up, Zeke?

Well, we're off
to a great start.

Sorry, my dude.
Wish I could help.

But one of the
conditions of my parole is,

I can't use a
computer, like, at all.

I get that, but we're in a
real jam here, all right?

All we need you to do is
hack into Wahiawa Penitentiary

and just get us a little
info on a prisoner transport.

Is that all? Just
hack into a prison

and help you guys bust out
a criminal? No, thank you.

It's not like that.

We'd love to
explain, but, honestly,

the less you know about
it, the better off you are.

Yeah, still no for me, dawg.

Listen, man, we're
desperate. All right?

A friend of ours'
life is in danger.

This is a chance for
you to use your skills

for some good; You
could help save her.

Let me see that thing.

There we go.

All right, so the guy's
name is Elliott Hamler.

He's scheduled to be
moved later on today.

Hey, you know, if you
need a second to do... I'm in.

Okay, then.

All right, looks like he's
gonna be moved at 12:30 today,

and he's scheduled
to be transported

in an armored van,
along with four guards

and an HPD escort.

Looks like we got
our work cut out for us.

Come on!

Okay, here's what we know
Once a month, Hamler is transported

to Queens Medical down
here for a blood transfusion

to treat a liver condition.

Why so much security
for a regular trip like that?

Same reason they
got him in solitary.

Apparently, word's out that.

Hamler's been
talking to the Feds,

trying to shave
time off his sentence

in exchange for rolling on
some of his old associates,

most of whom are...
Ding-ding, surprise... criminals.

So there's a lot of people

that want to keep
him from talking.

Exactly.

Now, I looked at the
route, and I think that

the best place to
hit the convoy is

probably right here.

We're gonna need
two clean vehicles.

Okay, I'll call Kawika
and get him right on it.

We take out the lead vehicle,
we have less than a minute

to extract Hamler and get out
of there. That's not a lot of time.

No, it's not, but
we take any longer,

we risk compromising
our getaway.

Extraction, exfil.

Kinda reminds
me of the old days?

Hang on.

Yeah, I got to take this.
Hey, pal, what you got?

Really? Okay.

Hey, you really came
through this time. Thanks, pal.

There's a guard at
Wahiawa, went through all of.

Hamler's phone records, logs.

Said there was one person visiting
him on the regular. Who's that?

A guy named Miles Hamler.

My son enlisted out of college.

He's stationed at Al-Asad.

Miles Hamler is Elliott Hamler's
son from his first marriage.

He served in the Second
Brigade Combat Crew.

Well, makes sense he
would come after you.

You sent his dad away.

You never did tell us
why you turned on the guy.

Evening.

Thomas Magnum,
private investigator.

How did you find me?

I was able to get a hold of
your sister's cell phone records

and tracked one of the
numbers to this hotel room.

I have a little
under $8,000 left.

Just tell Elliott you
couldn't find me,

and you can have it all.

No, I'm sorry, I can't do that.

He hired me to
get you into rehab.

Your bags are packed.

What, you-you think
that's what this is about?

I've been clean for 18 months.

Not according to your husband.

You think you know him.

Well, I do know he's paying
my full rate plus expenses.

Elliott makes himself out to
be this big self-made success,

but the truth is he's
just a criminal in a suit.

And the people he
does business with,

they're dangerous.

And so is Elliott.

I had to get out before I
ended up like his first wife.

What do you think
happened to his first wife?

He told me she ran off.
Left him and their son.

But no one's seen or
heard from her since.

When I asked if he
did something to her,

the look he gave me

I knew he killed her.

I don't want the same
thing to happen to me.

I take it you never told
Hamler you found his wife.

No, I did not.
But I did look into

his first wife's disappearance,

and it was definitely shady.

Okay, well, I think
it's pretty clear

that Hamler's son
is our kidnapper.

He was in regular
contact with his father,

and he's got the experience
and the skills to snatch

a highly trained
operative like Higgins.

And now that we
know who he is...

We no longer have
to play by his rules.

Zeke just pinged
Miles' phone again.

GPS confirms he was
here as of five minutes ago.

House is rented in his
name. His truck's out front.

He's definitely here.

Let's go.

Guys

I got a cell phone.
It's got to be Miles.

Yeah, except he's not
here. Neither is Higgins.

They're holding
her somewhere else.

Guys.

He's watching us.

Congratulations.

You just got your friend killed.

No, no, wait, wait!
Give me one reason

why I shouldn't put a
bullet in her head right now.

Because if you do, you'll
never see your father again.

The transport leaves
in under an hour.

You better get moving.

Heads up, the convoy's
approaching your position.

Copy that.

Back up, back up!

Don't move.

Hands! Let me see your hands!

Move! Let's go!

Move, move, move!

Let's go, let's go!

I don't care what else you have.

This is an all hands situation.

So get out there. Go.

What's going on, Sergeant?

See for yourself.

A prison transport was just hit.

Three-man crew
disabled the lead vehicle,

then used a controlled
blast to bust the inmate out.

Weird thing is, they
weren't using live rounds.

Bullets were blanks.

Given the degree of difficulty,

we're thinking
they got to be pros.

Former special ops maybe.

Yeah. I think you
might be right about that.

Put those on.

We'll leave as soon as
we hear from your son.

You know,

I lost three years
because of you.

Why don't you tell
that to your first wife?

The one you claimed
walked out on you.

You didn't think I
knew about that?

What you did to her?

You had to be the big
hero and save the girl?

Fine. I could have
given you a pass for that.

But you made a mistake
when you came after me.

Can I help you?

Um...

Yes, actually. I'm
looking for a rosé.

Something light, accessible.

I don't know.

How about this?
This bottle any good?

Yeah, quite. It also retails

for about $200.

$200? For rosé?

Well, all right.

How about something
in the, $20 to $30 range?

No, I'm afraid not, Magnum,
because this isn't a wine shop.

In fact, this wine
cellar is off-limits to you.

Seriously?

Seriously.

I assume you were gonna
share that pilfered wine

with the woman I saw you
taking to the guesthouse.

No, i-it's not what
you're suggesting.

She's the wife
of a client, okay?

I see, so now you're
seducing your clients' wives?

Yeah, that's-that's different.

No, I'm not seducing
her, I'm helping her.

Her husband hired me to
track her down. It turns out,

she has a really good
reason to bail on him.

Really? And what is it?

Well, he has ties
to organized crime

and he may have
killed his first wife.

I see.

Well, why haven't you taken

this information
to the police, then?

Because I don't have
any hard evidence yet.

I mean, I've been digging into
his first wife's disappearance,

and I just can't find
anything to tie him to it.

Coming up empty.

You know, being a P.I. is

it's not as easy
as you would think.

Life rarely is.

Yeah.

Well, y-you don't have
to worry about Kiana.

She's only gonna be here until I
can find somewhere safe for her.

So.

How about that bottle?

No.

But,

there's an open bottle
of Madeira in the kitchen

that you're welcome to.

It's the least I can
do for someone

who's been through what she has.

Appreciate it.

Hey...

Have you considered a
slightly different approach?

What do you mean?

Well, if you can't prove
this man's connection

to his wife's murder, then
maybe you could find evidence

to connect him to
his other crimes.

I mean, if he's in prison,

then her problem's
solved, right?

How was the reunion
with you and Hamler?

You guys all caught up?

Yeah, you could say that.

So, you gonna tell us how
you sent this guy away?

Yeah, well, it
took some digging,

but I eventually found out
Hamler was laundering money

for organized crime
here on the island.

I sent that evidence to the FBI,

anonymously, of course,

and a couple days
later, he was arrested.

I guess it wasn't as
anonymous as you thought.

Buddy.

What's going on?

I could've just bought
Kiana a ticket off the island

and wished her luck.

Okay, no.

"No" what?

Come on, bro,
this is not your fault.

Y-You don't know that.

I-I mean, I went after
Hamler without considering

there could be blow back
for it down the road.

Not just for myself but
for people in my life.

I didn't have to turn
that evidence in.

I could've used it as
leverage against Hamler,

told him if he didn't
leave Kiana alone,

that I would turn it
into the authorities. I...

Listen to me, man.

You got three years'
experience doing this job now.

You've grown.

But what hasn't changed, though,

is you being the kind of man

that always tries
to do the right thing.

Any other P.I would take
the money from Hamler

and decide that it was
none of their business.

That's not who you are.

Look, you did the best
that you could back then,

and we're doing the
best that we can right now.

He's right. Hey, Higgins
is gonna be all right.

We're gonna get her back.

I got to be honest, guys, this

could go wrong a dozen ways.

And if it does and
the cops find out

we sprung Hamler,
that's prison time.

For all of us.

Well, at least we'll be
spending our sentences together.

Won't be the first time.

You got that right.

We could have a problem.

Hey, Gordie. What's up,
man? What brings you by? Hey.

I was just in the neighborhood.

Figured I'd stop by,
maybe grab a bite.

Maybe see how it's going

with that, prisoner
you guys busted out.

I think his name's
Elliott Hamler?

Gordie, I know this looks bad,

but there's a reason
why we didn't w... I know.

You were trying to protect me.

And it's not like I
didn't suspect you guys

would try something like this.

But Higgins is my friend, too.

Tell me what I need to know,

let's go get her back.

Hamler's an old client.

He blames me for
getting him locked up,

so he sent his son
Miles to kidnap Higgins

to use her as
leverage against me.

Yeah, the only way
the son will let her go

is if we give him his father.

We're still waiting
on the phone call

with instructions for the trade.

HPD has resources to
handle this kind of thing.

We should be up on
your phone for starters.

No, no. Miles was very specific.

No cops.

This has got to be him.

Yeah.

Do you have my father? I do.

Nanakuli Forest
Reserve. 30 minutes.

Understood.

And, Mr. Magnum, if I see anyone

other than you and my
father there, she dies.

It just kills you, doesn't it?

Not being in control?

Where is she?

I'm okay.

Here's how this is gonna go.

I'm gonna count to three,
and then we send them across.

Once they've switched,

we go our separate ways.

Works for me.

Good.

One.

Two.

Three. Wait, wait.

Dad, what are you doing?

We promised we'd
let your friend go.

But

never said a word about you.

What are you talking about?

Change of plans.

I'm gonna do the
counting this time.

By the time I get to
zero, if Magnum here

hasn't dropped
his gun, Kill her.

Don't do this.

Magnum.

You can't trust them.

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One...

Well, let's go.

It's gonna be okay.

You okay? You hurt?

No, I'm fine, but they took
Magnum. We have to get him back.

We know. We heard
the whole thing.

We planted a listening
device on Hamler.

It also has a GPS.

Yo! We got to move!

Let's go, let's go.

Let's go.

Hold on.

We need to make sure

Mr. Magnum followed the rules.

Tracker.

I should kill you right now.

But I think I'll take my time.

Get in.

They must've switched cars.

The GPS tracker is
still pinging to here.

We know they took
Magnum with them.

That means he's still alive.

Yeah, but we have no
idea where they're headed.

Okay.

Miles must have an exfil
plan to get off the island.

Right? If he's smart,

he set an exchange near the
airport they're planning to use.

Makes sense. Minimizes the risk

of getting caught.

Yeah, except there's
no airstrip near here.

Commercial or private.

There's a port, though.

It's a couple miles from here.

"Second Glance." What's that?

Where I was being
held, I saw a note.

It said "Second Glance.
Three and a half hours."

Second Glance must be
the ship they're leaving on.

Which makes three and a
half hours the travel time.

They're taking a
boat to another island.

Smart play.

Figure the cops are
gonna be at the airport,

so you take a boat to
a neighboring island,

jump on a plane from there...

Assuming to a
non-extradition country.

Laos. You really
do see every angle.

As much as I'd love to join,

I didn't bring my passport.

You're just along for insurance.

Soon as I'm sure we're
not being followed...

Kill me, dump my
body in the ocean?

Like I said, every angle.

Sit down.

Let's go.

Guess he never told
you about your mother.

Hey, you

shut your mouth.

What about my mother?

She was gonna divorce him.

So he made her disappear.

He's lying.

She left us. You
know that. Let's go.

Do you know that, Miles?

Or is that a story your
dad likes to tell you?

What is he talking about?

Nothing, Miles!

He's trying to get in your head.

Come on. Think about it.

Would your mother
just run off, disappear,

never see you again?

Or do you think your father...

A violent man with
ties to organized crime...

Had something to do
with her disappearance?

I said shut your mouth.

Is it true?

Tell him.

I asked you, is it true?

I said enough!

You son of a bitch.

Over here!

You okay, TM?

Yeah.

Where's Higgins?

That was so incredibly stupid.

Excuse me?

Can't believe you
agreed to give up

your gun and go with them.

Well, it worked, didn't it?

Yeah, I suppose so.

Well, what now, Gordon?

You, Magnum and TC
have to get out of here.

I'll call it in. It'll
probably take HPD

about ten minutes
to get here, which will

hopefully give Higgins and I

enough time to

get our stories straight.

Katsumoto,

you don't have to do this.

Yeah, I do.

You guys can't be
connected to this in any way.

He's right, Magnum.
You need to go.

Thank you.

This is killing me.

Can I get something
a little stronger?

I think we have some
industrial cleaner in the back.

How's that sound?

It's been four hours.

Seriously, how long does it take

for the police to
conduct an interview?

Relax. If anybody
can stand up to

this kind of
interrogation, it's Higgy.

Speak of the devil.Hi.

So?

Well, Higgins
gave her statement.

As far as HPD's concerned,

she was targeted
for her hacking skills.

Miles Hamler kidnapped her

and forced her to
breach Wahiawa's server.

Acting on an anonymous tip, I
then tracked the Hamlers down.

They were shot
trying to flee the island.

Accomplices are still at large.

You see? What did I tell you?

Yeah.

So how about a
round to celebrate?

Coming right up.

- Well, I can't stay long.
- It's my weekend with Dennis.

I've already blown most of it.

Look at this.

The whole crew is here.

What's the occasion?

You know, just
celebrating being alive.

Good a reason as any.

Juliet, you've
had a hell of a day.

You sure you wouldn't
rather be at home?

After what I've been through,
I could use a drink... or three.

Plus, um, this
band is pretty good.

They are, aren't they?

It's a shame the crowd's
not giving them more love.

Dance floor's empty.

I know, right?

Yeah, someone
should get out there

and get the dancing started.

I mean, I would,

if someone would just ask me.

Totally.

She's talking about you, idiot.

Right.

Yeah. Suzy, you want to

dance with me?

Hell no.

Kidding. I'd love to.

Okay. All right.

Great.

That was hard to watch.

Why so glum?

We should be festive.

Not glum, I'm just

just glad you're okay.

You know, years ago

I made this decision
to go after Hamler.

And because of that,
you could have died.

Thomas, you know
what I thought of you

when I first met you?

Not entirely.

But I can imagine.

Yes, well, needless to
say, it wasn't all that positive.

But, um, you know,

that night in the wine cellar,

when I learned how
you were helping Kiana...

That's when my

whole opinion of
you began to change.

I saw that you were someone

who was genuinely
concerned about people.

Would do anything to help them.

And I hope that never changes.

It's Ethan.

Well, I should call him.

Back in a sec.

I guess our homie
won't have to agonize

about asking Suzy out anymore.

She made the first move.

Well, actually,

she may have
gotten a little nudge.

You told her that
Rick was interested?

Yes, I sure did.

But don't say anything to Rick.

I mean, the guy needs
all the help he can get.

Don't I know it?

You're a good friend, TM.

Well, I try.

To young love...

Hear, hear.
