[ "HAWAII FIVE-O" THEME PLAYS ]

MOE.

I HEAR YOU GOT SOME KIND OF DEAL.

I'M LISTENING.

JOHNNY, JOHNNY, WE GOT TO TALK SO STIFF?

LIKE CORPORATION GUYS? LIKE LAWYERS?

YOU USED TO LIVE IN MY HOUSE. WE WERE LIKE BROTHERS.

YEAH. AND NOW I GOT SIX BLOCKS IN WAIKIKI, BRADDAH.

SO YOU GOT A PROPOSITION, SPELL IT OUT, WITH NUMBERS.

BUSINESS, ALWAYS BUSINESS.

HEY, JOHNNY, REMEMBER THE FIRST JOB WE EVER PULLED IN '42?

YOU TRIPPED ON THAT BURGLAR ALARM, AND I GOT YOU OUT.

BIG DEAL -- $62.20.

YOU TOLD ME $60. YOU MADE OFF WITH 2 BUCKS, JOHNNY.

YOU MADE IT UP TO YOURSELF MORE THAN ONCE.

JOHNNY, YOU'VE BEEN AWAY FROM FAMILY TOO LONG.

[ BOTH LAUGHING ]

[ GUNSHOT ]

TO STEVE McGARRETT, HAWAII FIVE-O,

FROM JOHNNY RESKO, WALINA STREET, WAIKIKI.

THINK OF THIS LETTER LIKE A VOICE FROM THE DEAD.

YOU'LL RECEIVE IT ONLY IF I'VE BEEN DOUBLE-CROSSED

BY PIRO MANOA, WHO I AM GOING TO MEET TOMORROW.

IF I DON'T COME BACK FROM THIS MEETING,

MY FRIENDS WILL PUT THIS LETTER IN THE MAIL.

IN IT, YOU'LL FIND ENOUGH FACTS AND PROOF

TO PUT MANOA AWAY FOR LIFE AND THROW AWAY THE KEY.

I KNOW IT ALL, 'CAUSE HIM AND ME WERE LIKE...

BROTHERS.

SO IF MANOA KNIFES ME IN THE BACK TOMORROW,

THIS LETTER TO YOU, McGARRETT,

IS MY WAY OF REACHING UP FROM THE GRAVE

AND PULLING HIM DOWN WITH ME.

THE ORIGINAL OF THE RESKO LETTER, JOHN,

AND TWO COPIES FOR YOUR ASSISTANTS, MR. DRUMMOND...

MR. LAHANI.

THIS LETTER WAS RECEIVED IN MY OFFICE AT 9:06 THIS MORNING.

WE CHECKED THE HANDWRITING.

THE SIGNATURE MATCHES EXACTLY THE POLICE RECORD OF RESKO.

HE HASN'T BEEN SEEN ON THE STREET IN TWO DAYS.

THE FIRST PAGE SETS FORTH HIS REASON FOR WRITING

AND HIS FEAR OF A DOUBLE-CROSS BY MANOA.

WE DON'T GET TO THE MEAT OF THE ACCUSATION UNTIL PAGE TWO.

"IN 1968, PIRO MANOA SHOT ANNA RYOTO TO DEATH.

"I CAN PROVE THIS THREE WAYS.

"ONE IS THE GUN THAT MANOA PAID TO HAVE DUMPED IN THE OCEAN.

"BUT I PAID MORE.

"THE GUN IS IN A STEEL BOX IN A SAFE IN MY APARTMENT

"AT 22 WALINA STREET.

COMBINATION OF THE SAFE IS LEFT 86 THREE TIMES..."

AND SO FORTH AND SO FORTH.

"TWO -- A TAPE RECORDING OF ANN RYOTO,

"BEGGING MANOA NOT TO KILL HER,

"PROMISING TO GIVE HIM BACK THE $60,000 SHE OWED HIM.

"THIS TAPE IS IN THE ATTIC OF MY BROTHER'S BEACH HOUSE

"ON THE WINDWARD SIDE OF THE ISLAND NEAR HALIEVA,

"ON THE BEACH ROAD.

"THREE -- AN EYEWITNESS TO THE KILLING --

"SYLVIA CHANG, A HUSTLER, 14 HOTEL STREET.

"SHE USED TO WORK FOR ANNA RYOTO.

"SHE WAS IN THE NEXT ROOM, HIDING, WHEN ANNA...

"GOT HIT.

"SYLVIA'S PLENTY SCARED, BUT SHE'S A JUNKIE.

"KEEP HER OFF A FIX FOR A DAY AND SHE'LL CRACK.

"IF THIS LETTER REACHES YOU, McGARRETT,

"IT MEANS I'VE BEEN HIT.

"THE SOONER YOU GET MANOA,

THE BETTER I'LL REST IN MY GRAVE."

IT'S SIGNED "JOHNNY RESKO."

EVIDENCE LIKE THAT IS ALMOST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN TRYING TO NAIL MANOA -- SIX, SEVEN YEARS?

NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE'S HANDED TO US...

IN A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS PACKAGE.

MAYBE. IT COULD BE AN EMPTY BOX.

THEN I SUGGEST WE OPEN IT UP RIGHT AWAY

AND FIND OUT, BUT UNDER STRICT GROUND RULES.

GO AHEAD, STEVE.

THAT WE GO FOR THIS EVIDENCE IMMEDIATELY

AND THAT NOBODY OUTSIDE THIS ROOM

BE TOLD THE CONTENTS OF THE RESKO LETTER

UNTIL AFTER THE RAIDS.

I'M SORRY. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

WE HAVE TO OBTAIN WARRANTS BEFORE YOU CAN MOVE.

BUT YOU CAN SEE JUDGE KALEHI IN CHAMBERS, CAN'T YOU?

YEAH. GRAND JURY PROBE CAN BE DELAYED.

THE WARRANTS CAN BE DONE BY LAHANI, DRUMMOND, AND MYSELF.

PERSONALLY. NO SECRETARIES.

YES, CAN BE DONE.

DUKE, YOU'LL WORK THIS ONE WITH US.

TO NAIL MANOA? MY PLEASURE.

VERY WELL. WE'LL STAY HERE AND WAIT FOR THE WARRANTS,

THEN WE'LL HIT ALL THREE TOUCH POINTS FAST.

OKAY, UH...

SIMULTANEOUS RAIDS AT EXACTLY 2:45.

YOU ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO.

CHE.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ FIRE ROARING ]

OPEN UP. POLICE.

OPEN UP!

ALL EVIDENCE DESTROYED BEFORE WE GOT THERE --

THE TAPE...

THE GUN, A HUMAN BEING.

THE IMPLICATIONS ARE NOT PLEASANT

TO CONTEMPLATE, GOVERNOR.

ALL RIGHT, STEVE, LET'S HAVE IT.

OUTSIDE OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM,

NOBODY KNEW WHAT WE WERE GOING AFTER. NOBODY.

HOLD IT, STEVE, HOLD IT. ARE YOU ACCUSING MY STAFF?

IT'S GOT TO BE SOMEBODY ON YOUR STAFF...

OR MINE.

NOT NECESSARILY.

THERE WAS A JUDGE WHO SIGNED THE WARRANTS.

JUDGE ARTHUR KALEHI --

FORMER PRESIDENTIAL ASSISTANT,

PAST PRESIDENT OF OUR BAR ASSOCIATION.

THE IDEA'S PREPOSTEROUS.

I HAD OTHER MATTERS TO DISCUSS WITH THE JUDGE

AFTER HE SIGNED THE WARRANTS.

I WAS WITH HIM FROM THE TIME HE SIGNED THEM

TO THE TIME THE RAIDS WERE OVER.

I CAN VERIFY THAT HE CONTACTED NO ONE.

WASN'T THERE ANOTHER OFFICER WITH YOU?

YEAH. OFFICER FRED PULEO. I TOOK HIM AS AN EXTRA GUN.

HE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE WE WERE GOING

OR WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.

THAT BRINGS US BACK TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM.

THERE'S ONE OTHER POSSIBILITY, SIR --

SOMEONE ELSE WHO KNEW WHAT WAS IN THAT LETTER.

WHO'S THAT?

WHOEVER MAILED IT.

INTERESTING THEORY, BUT IT DOESN'T WASH.

IF THAT GUY DIDN'T WANT THE EVIDENCE KNOWN,

HE WOULD'VE NEVER MAILED THE LETTER.

HE DID MAIL THE LETTER. IT GOT TO YOUR DESK. SEALED?

SEALED. IT CAME BY REGISTERED MAIL.

I SIGNED FOR IT MYSELF.

WHO PHOTOCOPIED IT?

I DID.

NO SECRETARIES? NO FILE CLERKS?

NOBODY ELSE SAW THE LETTER,

BY MY OWN INSTRUCTIONS.

NOBODY BUT THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM.

WHAT'S THE ANSWER, STEVE?

ALL RIGHT, FOR STARTERS,

COMPLETE SECURITY CHECK OF EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM,

EVERYONE WHO HAD ACCESS TO THE RESKO LETTERS.

YOU INVESTIGATE OUR STAFF, WE INVESTIGATE YOURS.

YOU AGREE TO THAT?

WITH ONE PROVISION --

THAT I PERSONALLY BE INVESTIGATED ALONG WITH MY MEN.

YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT, BRADDAH,

AND I EXPECT THE SAME.

WELL, GOVERNOR, DO WE PROCEED?

SO ORDERED.

UH, HI, McGARRETT. UH, DUKE.

I-I'M JUST GETTING SOMETHING NOTARIZED.

I THINK I'LL WALK.

WONDER WHAT THAT LITTLE PIGEON IS REALLY AFTER.

YOU JUST CHECK THE BOOKS. THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

AND YOU CAN TELL THE COMPANY THAT.

I'LL TELL THEM WHAT I FIND, MR. MANOA.

THEY'LL MAKE THEIR OWN EVALUATIONS.

MR. MANOA.

RUNNY.

YOU'RE EATING. I'LL COME BACK LATER.

NO, NO, THAT'S OKAY, RUNNY.

PRIVATE, MAYBE?

I GUESS NOT.

RUNNY GROSE, SAY HELLO TO THE LADY.

MISS SIMPSON, RUNNY GROSE.

TWICE A YEAR SHE COMES BY,

SHINES A LITTLE LIGHT IN MY HOUSE, AUDITS THE BOOKS.

I JUST GOT BACK FROM YOU-KNOW-WHERE.

THEY'RE RUNNING AROUND LIKE CHICKENS WITHOUT HEADS

TRYING TO FIGURE WHERE THE LEAK IS.

AS IF THEY COULD, HUH, MR. MANOA?

YEAH.

BUT THEY WON'T 'CAUSE ONLY THREE PEOPLE KNOW --

ME, THE LEAK, AND YOU,

CARRYING MESSAGES BACK AND FORTH.

THREE PEOPLE, RUNNY.

MAY I REMIND YOU OF THE CABLE YOU RECEIVED TODAY, MR. MANOA?

I DIDN'T FORGET, MISS SIMPSON.

"CHANGE OF MARKET SITUATION

REQUIRES IMMEDIATE LIQUIDATION OF R.G. HOLDINGS."

HMM...

R.G.

THAT MEANS YOU, RUNNY.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

IT MEANS WE DON'T LIKE ODD NUMBERS.

PUNCH UP "McGARRETT, STEPHEN J."

SCHOOL RECORDS, 1944.

CLOSE-UP, FINAL GRADE -- BIOLOGY.

ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN, IT TOOK EXACTLY 17 SECONDS

FOR THE COMPUTER TO SELECT AND DISPLAY THAT INFORMATION.

DO YOU HAVE THE RELEASES PREPARED, JOHN?

YES, RIGHT DOWN TO THE COMMAS.

WHERE'S BEN KOKUA?

HE'LL BE HERE.

THESE RELEASES GIVE US PERMISSION

TO DELVE INTO EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIVES.

NOBODY IS BOUND TO SIGN, BUT WHEN YOU DO,

YOU WILL BE GIVING UP ALL RIGHTS TO PRIVACY.

NOTHING WILL BE SACRED TO THE COMPUTER, AND I MEAN NOTHING.

ALL YOUR RECORDS WILL BE PROBED --

SCHOOL, MILITARY,

EMPLOYMENT, FINANCIAL.

IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS WITH FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.

ALL MEDICAL RECORDS, INCLUDING HISTORY OF SEXUAL BEHAVIOR.

DO YOU WANT BACHELORS TO SIGN, TOO, STEVE?

BACHELORS, TOO. YOU GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE, DANNO?

[ LAUGHS ]

LET ME SIGN ONE OF THOSE THINGS AND GET OUT OF HERE.

YOU JUST DROPPING IN FOR A VISIT, BRADDAH?

WE POLYNESIANS GOT TO MOVE FAST

IF WE'RE GOING TO CATCH ANY SHARKS, BRADDAH.

WHAT IS IT, BEN?

THERE'S TALK ON THE STREET THAT RUNNY GROSE WAS HIT.

MY FAVORITE LITTLE STOOLIE. IT WILL BE TOO BAD IF HE WAS.

I'LL BE SORRY ABOUT THAT.

SO AM I. HE WAS VALUABLE.

IF HE WAS HIT, YOU CAN BE SURE HE WAS ONTO SOMETHING BIG.

FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS.

HI, ANGIE. GOING SOMEWHERE?

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

I'M SORRY, ANGIE.

ABOUT WHAT?

I HEAR RUNNY WAS HIT.

YOU COPS HEAR A LOT OF THINGS.

HEY, THIS IS BEN KOKUA. PLAY IT STRAIGHT WITH ME.

I CAN'T PLAY IT STRAIGHT OR UPSIDE DOWN.

I'M HOLDING NO CARDS.

YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM IT, EITHER.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO,

STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF WAIKIKI AND YELL, "I'M RUNNY'S GIRL.

"HE USED TO TALK TO ME WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE OUT.

MAYBE I KNOW SOMETHING, SO HIT ME, TOO"?

IF THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE THINKING, THEY'RE THINKING IT NOW.

MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU, ANGIE.

IT'S ALL OVER. I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.

JUST LET ME OUT OF HERE, OKAY?

SIX YEARS.

RUNNY PLAYED BOTH SIDES FOR SIX YEARS, AND NOBODY CARED.

HE WORKED FOR THEM, HE WORKED FOR US,

AND WE ALL KNEW IT.

THAT WAS HIS INSURANCE POLICY.

THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE'S A THREAT TO SOMEBODY.

WHY? WHY NOW?

BECAUSE THERE'S DIRT ALL OVER,

AND NOT JUST ON HOTEL STREET.

IN DIAMOND HEAD, IN KAHALUU.

THAT FANCY NEW GOVERNMENT BUILDING, TOO.

PEOPLE LIKE US, WE GET THE SHORT END,

BUT THERE'S OTHERS JUST AS DIRTY

WHO COME OUT SMELLING LIKE A ROSE.

YOU WANT ANSWERS, MISTER, ASK HIGHER UP.

ASK IN YOUR OWN OFFICE.

THESE ARE THE LAST

OF THE DAN WILLIAMS CREDIT CARD RECEIPTS.

HOLD IT. TAKE IT BACK TO APRIL 12th.

WHO WAS THE GUEST?

RITA MALBA.

SHE'S GOT A CRIMINAL RECORD A MILE LONG.

HOW COME WILLIAMS TOOK HER OUT?

NO INVESTIGATION OF HER, AS FAR AS I CAN SEE.

I ALREADY CHECKED THAT OUT.

IT WAS A NATIONAL SECURITY MATTER --

FIVE-O WORKING WITH NAVAL INTELLIGENCE,

STRICTLY HUSH-HUSH.

THAT'S WHY IT DOESN'T SHOW UP IN OUR FILES.

CIVIL SERVICE RECORDS --

DRUMMOND, PAUL, ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

TWO YEARS UNACCOUNTED FOR -- '63 AND '64. WHERE WAS HE?

WE KNOW HE APPLIED FOR A PASSPORT.

GOT A LEAVE OF ABSENCE. THAT'S ALL SO FAR.

OKAY, FIND OUT WHERE HE WENT AND WHY HE WENT,

WHO HE WAS WORKING FOR AND WHY HE CAME BACK.

THE WORKS.

BANK STATEMENTS AND CANCELED CHECKS --

SERGEANT EDWARD "DUKE" LAKELA, JANUARY 1st TO DATE.

HOLD IT.

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?

YEAH.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM, DUKE?

MORE THAN $19,000?

I DON'T KNOW, STEVE.

WELL, HERE'S THE DEPOSIT SLIP.

ONE CHECK FOR $19,200 TRANSFERRED TO YOUR ACCOUNT

FROM THE OUTER ISLAND FEDERAL BANK IN HILO.

I DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT IN THAT BANK.

WELL, THE BANK SAYS YOU DO.

ALL TRANSACTIONS HANDLED BY MAIL

WITH DEPOSIT SLIPS IN YOUR OWN HANDWRITING.

I DIDN'T WRITE THEM, STEVE.

YOU HAVE ANY BUSINESS IN HILO? ANY MOONLIGHTING?

ANY REASONS FOR BANKING THERE?

NO.

YOU WENT THERE EVERY SIX MONTHS.

JUST A MINUTE, JOHN. I'LL HANDLE THIS.

DUKE, YOU DID GO TO HILO.

WE HAVE THE AIRLINE TICKETS TO PROVE IT.

NOW, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS THERE, NO FAMILY.

I DO HAVE FAMILY THERE, UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME.

I'VE GOT A NIECE GLADYS -- 21 YEARS OLD, ORPHAN.

NOT MARRIED.

SHE HAD A BABY THREE YEARS AGO.

THE GUY TOOK OFF.

I TRIED TO HELP HER SET UP A LITTLE SHOP IN HILO,

ON THE BIG ISLAND.

SHE LIVES THERE WITH HER KID.

I GO THERE A COUPLE TIMES EACH YEAR

TO SEE IF SHE NEEDS ANYTHING.

I NEVER TOLD ANYONE.

STEVE, YOU KNOW MY FOLKS. MISSIONARY STOCK.

IF THEY FOUND OUT, IT WOULD SHAME THEM.

YEAH.

IT GETS WORSE, STEVE.

OUTER ISLAND FEDERAL BANK.

AN ACCOUNT IN DUKE'S NAME WAS JUST CLOSED OUT THERE.

TWO DEPOSITS A YEAR FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.

DIVIDENDS FROM THE SAND N' SURF CONDOMINIUM COMPANY IN HONOLULU.

TOTAL AMOUNT -- $19,200.

I CALLED THE SAND N' SURF.

THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EDWARD "DUKE" LAKELA

ACQUIRED 400 SHARES OF STOCK THREE YEARS AGO

AT $200 A SHARE.

YEAH? ACQUIRED FROM WHOM? AND HOW?

ACCORDING TO THE RECORDS, WITH CASH.

$80,000? HOW WAS THE MONEY BROUGHT IN?

THEY SAY HE DID.

CAN ANYONE IDENTIFY HIM?

NO.

NO WAY. THE WOMAN WHO HANDLED THE TRANSACTION

DIED TWO YEARS AGO OF LEUKEMIA.

THE $80,000, DUKE -- WHAT ABOUT IT?

STEVE, THREE YEARS AGO... GLADYS' SHOP...I WAS BROKE.

HAD TO TAKE A SECOND MORTGAGE ON MY HOUSE.

YOU CAN CHECK THAT WITH THE BANK.

$80,000. WHERE WOULD I GET MONEY LIKE THAT?

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

YEAH?

NO KIDDING.

WELL, THAT'S NICE, VERY NICE.

WELL, YOU'LL BE GLAD TO KNOW THAT HAWAII IS SAFE

FROM THE HANDS OF FIVE-O AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

THEY FOUND THEIR SECURITY LEAK?

YEAH, THEY FOUND HIM, ALL RIGHT.

WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT? TURNED OUT TO BE A COP.

IT'S A FRAME.

I'LL -- I'LL STAKE MY LIFE ON IT.

IT'S A ROUGH ONE, STEVE. CHECKS, SIGNATURES.

GOT TO BE A CRACK IN IT SOMEWHERE. GOT TO BE.

NOW, I WANT THE BOOK

ON THE SAND N' SURF CONDOMINIUM COMPANY.

I WANT TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE, WHAT THEY ARE.

I WANT TO KNOW WHOSE MONEY BEHIND IT.

I WANT TO KNOW THEIR BANKS, THEIR STOCKHOLDERS,

INVESTMENT SYNDICATES -- NOW, YOU NAME IT.

IF THEY'RE PUBLIC, CHECK THEM OUT WITH THE S.E.C.

OKAY, SPLIT THE WORK. GET ON IT FAST.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

SIMPSON HERE.

YES, THAT WAS EXPECTED.

OF COURSE. YOU'RE ENTIRELY WELCOME.

WHO WAS THAT?

NOT IMPORTANT. SAND N' SURF CONDOMINIUM.

WHAT DID THEY WANT?

POLICE WERE OUT THERE CHECKING UP ON THEIR MAN.

THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT?

EXACTLY WHAT WE EXPECTED, MR. MANOA.

WE KNOW HOW TO PROTECT OUR INVESTMENTS.

HEY, LOOK, MISS ICE CUBE,

IT'S ALMOST 5:00.

WHY DON'T YOU KNOCK IT OFF AND LET'S TAKE A DIP?

I'M NOT FOND OF THE SUN, MR. MANOA.

BESIDES, I MIGHT FREEZE YOUR $15,000 POOL.

OKAY, OKAY. I HAD IT COMING TO ME.

NOW, LOOK, IT'S OKAY TO BE COOL SOMETIMES,

BUT YOU GOT TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN

TO KNOW YOU'RE ALIVE.

DID YOU EVER MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, MISS SIMPSON?

OH, DOES THAT INTEREST YOU?

YEAH, IT INTERESTS ME.

NO ONE SAYS YOU GOT TO WORK ALL NIGHT, MISS SIMPSON.

NOW, FOR ONCE,

WHY DON'T YOU PUT THE NUMBERS AWAY

AND THINK ABOUT ME AS A MAN?

I ALREADY HAVE...

AND I BECAME VIOLENTLY ILL.

THEY COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE COOPERATIVE.

BOOKS, LEDGERS, STOCKHOLDER LISTS.

EVERYTHING WE WANTED, WE GOT.

AND ALL FED INTO THE IRON BRAIN.

WHO OWNS THE COMPANY?

IT'S A CORPORATION DULY REGISTERED

IN THE STATE OF HAWAII.

THERE ARE 11 OWNERS,

EACH HOLDING PRIVATELY ISSUED STOCK.

WHO ARE THEY?

STOCKHOLDERS.

EACH OF THE OWNERS HAVE BETWEEN 2 AND 600 SHARES,

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BRYCE-HALSEY, LTD.,

WHICH HAS CONTROLLING INTEREST AT 4,100 SHARES.

THERE'S DUKE'S NAME --

400 SHARES PURCHASED MAY 17, 1969.

THE TOTAL CAPITALIZATION WAS $1,600,000.

WE'RE CHECKING ON EACH OWNER. NOTHING SO FAR.

WHO IS THIS BRYCE-HALSEY OUTFIT?

AN INVESTMENT COMPANY BASED IN SWITZERLAND.

WE'RE HAVING INTERPOL CHECK THEM OUT.

I TALKED TO SOME BROKERS HERE. THEY ALL HEARD OF THE NAME.

OKAY.

A CORPORATION CALLED SAND N' SURF IS FORMED

THREE YEARS AGO.

IT'S A AHUI -- A BUILDING CENTER.

NOW, I WALK IN, AND I TELL THEM

THAT MY NAME IS DANNY WILLIAMS,

THAT I WANT TO BUY 400 SHARES OF THEIR STOCK.

I PAY THEM CASH.

I TELL THEM I WANT THE DIVIDENDS SENT TO A POST OFFICE BOX.

YOU WOULD BE LISTED AS THE OWNER AND WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW IT.

THAT ALMOST WORKS, EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.

MY ENDORSEMENT ON THE DIVIDEND CHECK.

CANCELED CHECKS,

SAND N' SURF CONDOMINIUMS, TO EDWARD "DUKE" LUKELA.

DUKE'S ENDORSEMENT ON EACH CHECK.

COULD BE FORGERY.

IF IT IS, STEVE, IT'S PERFECT.

PUT ON A COMPARISON SHOT.

DUKE'S SIGNATURE ON HIS POLICE IDENTIFICATION CARD --

TWINS.

TOO GOOD. TOO SLICK.

AND WHY WAS THE MONEY TRANSFERRED NOW

FROM A HIDDEN ACCOUNT IN HILO?

IT'S ALMOST AS IF SOMEBODY WANTED THAT MONEY

TO SURFACE NOW, BUT WHY NOW?

ANYTHING ELSE, ANY OTHER REPORTS,

ANY OTHER PEOPLE?

YEAH, JUST ONE, STEVE.

WE CHECKED OUT THOSE TWO YEARS SPENT OUT OF THE COUNTRY

BY ASSISTANT D.A. DRUMMOND.

[ CHUCKLES ] TURNED OUT TO BE A HITCH IN THE PEACE CORPS.

THE PEACE CORPS?

[ CHUCKLES ]

HE WAS A PART OF A TEAM OF LAWYERS.

HELPED A NEW NATION IN AFRICA SET UP THEIR CONSTITUTION.

STILL AT IT, STEVE?

STILL AT IT, JOHN.

CAPRICORN GOAT -- VERY STUBBORN.

YEAH. I'D BE FIGHTING, TOO, IF IT WAS ONE OF MY MEN,

BUT I'M AFRAID THE FIGHT'S OVER.

WE'RE GOING TO COURT TOMORROW, AND FRANKLY,

I'VE SELDOM HAD A STRONGER CASE.

I'M SORRY.

I WON'T ASK YOU TO WISH ME LUCK.

GOOD NIGHT, STEVE.

GOOD NIGHT, JOHN, CHRIS.

GOOD NIGHT, FELLAS.

[ SPEAKING HAWAIIAN ]

ALOHA, BRADDAH.

[ SPEAKING HAWAIIAN ]

TRANSLATION -- "GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD HEALTH, BROTHER."

YEAH, I GOT THE "BROTHER."

YOU'VE KNOWN CHRIS A LONG TIME, HAVEN'T YOU?

YEAH. WE WERE KIDS TOGETHER.

LIKE -- LIKE BROTHERS.

WELL, IT'S ALL HERE IN THE DOSSIER --

SAME AGE, SAME SCHOOL, SAME NEIGHBORHOOD.

BOTH KIDS,

SONS OF FISHERMAN ON THE OLOMEHANI DOCKS.

CHRIS NEVER FORGOT THAT, YOU KNOW.

A LOT OF GUYS MAKE IT BIG, THEN THEY DON'T KNOW YOU.

WELL, HE MADE IT, ALL RIGHT.

HARVARD LAW SCHOOL. GRADUATED MAGNA CUM LAUDE.

SCHOLARSHIPS ALL THE WAY, HUH, BEN?

YEAH. MOSTLY A's AS FAR AS I REMEMBER.

LET'S SEE WHAT THE MACHINE REMEMBERS.

CHRIS LAHANI SCHOOL RECORDS. PUNCH THEM UP, PLEASE.

THE MACHINE AGREES WITH YOU, BEN.

A BRILLIANT MIND.

YEAH, HE PUT US ALL TO SHAME.

HOLD IT.

LET'S SEE THE LAST YEAR OF THAT HIGH SCHOOL RECORD, PLEASE.

THOSE REMARKS AT THE BOTTOM -- CAN WE HAVE A BLOWUP OF THAT?

"STUDENT OFFERED FULL SCHOLARSHIP,

UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII -- DECLINED."

"OFFERED FULL SCHOLARSHIP, WISCONSIN -- DECLINED."

"PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIP, PRINCETON -- DECLINED."

IS THAT ALL?

WHERE'S HARVARD?

YEAH... THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW.

IT'S GOT TO BE. MAYBE IT JUST DIDN'T SHOW.

HE COULDN'T AFFORD A SCHOOL LIKE THAT.

DANNO, CONTACT THE REGISTRAR AT HARVARD.

MAKE IT OFFICIAL VIA THE CAMBRIDGE POLICE.

I WANT TO KNOW WHO PAID CHRIS LAHANI'S TUITION.

"FROM CHIEF OF POLICE, CAMBRIDGE, MASS.,

"TO McGARRETT, HAWAII FIVE-O.

"INSPECTION OF RECORDS AT HARVARD REVEAL TUITION

FOR CHRIS LAHANI PAID BY BRYCE-HALSEY, LTD."

THAT'S THE INVESTMENT COMPANY IN SWITZERLAND.

SAME OUTFIT THAT HAS CONTROLLING INTEREST IN SUN N' SURF.

SAND N' SURF.

SAND N' SURF CONDOMINIUM.

SAME OUTFIT THAT PUT LAHANI THROUGH SCHOOL.

AND MAYBE,

JUST MAYBE, PUT A FOOT INSIDE THE D.A.'s OFFICE.

THIS CONCLUSION UNWARRANTED.

A FOUNDATION PAYS FOR A MAN'S EDUCATION,

HAS A FEW SHARES IN A BUILDING SYNDICATE.

COINCIDENCE, MAYBE.

THERE'S NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT IT.

READ THE CABLE FROM SWITZERLAND, DANNO.

"FROM INSPECTOR CARL ALBRECHT, INTERPOL,

"TO McGARRETT, HAWAII FIVE-O.

"AT YOUR REQUEST, WE HAVE CHECKED BRYCE-HALSEY, LTD.

"ALL INQUIRIES ARE REFERRED TO A LAW FIRM IN ZURICH

"THAT STANDS ON ITS RIGHT TO PRIVILEGED INFORMATION.

ALBRECHT."

OKAY. HYPOTHESIS -- A LONG TIME AGO,

THERE'S A MEETING OF THE UNDERWORLD.

I'M TALKING TOP INTERNATIONAL LEVEL.

NOW, THEY'RE PLANNING THEIR STRATEGY FOR DECADES TO COME,

PLANNING IT LIKE A WAR WITH DEEP-PLANTED SPIES

INSIDE THE ENEMY CAMP.

NOW, HOW WOULD YOU DO THAT,

GIVEN ALL THE TIME AND MONEY THAT YOU NEED?

FIRST, YOU PICK YOUR PEOPLE.

YOU PICK THEM IN HIGH SCHOOL THE WAY THE BIG CORPORATIONS DO,

YOUNG PEOPLE WITH BRILLIANT MINDS AND EMPTY POCKETS.

YOU TAKE CARE OF THE FAMILY. YOU EASE THE FINANCIAL STRAIN.

THEN YOU INVEST A FEW THOUSAND A YEAR IN A KID'S EDUCATION.

TUITION IN A TOP MAINLAND SCHOOL,

PLUS CLOTHES, A CAR, SPENDING MONEY.

YOU DO BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER SCHOLARSHIPS

THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO A POOR KID,

THEN YOU SIT BACK AND YOU WAIT FOR YOUR INVESTMENT TO PAY OFF.

THE KID KNOWS WHAT HE OWES YOU.

HE GRADUATES WITH TOP HONORS AND GETS A DEGREE.

THEN YOU HELP OPEN THE RIGHT DOORS.

HE GETS THE RIGHT JOB, AND YOU GET HIS SOUL.

CHRIS LAHANI --

I PICKED HIM MYSELF.

NO DISCREDIT TO YOU, JOHN. HE WAS THE BEST THERE WAS.

THEY SAW TO THAT.

THAT'S WHY THEY INVESTED SO MUCH IN HIM.

THAT'S WHY THEY PROTECTED THEIR INVESTMENT

BY PLANTING A FRAME AGAINST A COP,

BUT NOT JUST ANY COP -- A KEY OFFICER.

PLANTED IT THREE YEARS AGO

WHEN LAHANI WAS APPOINTED TO THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE.

IF WE EVER GOT CLOSE TO UNCOVERING HIM,

THEY WOULD SPRING THE TRAP ON DUKE,

AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

THEORY. HYPOTHESIS.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROVE IT, STEVE.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL PROVE IT,

BUT MY WAY, MY GROUND RULES.

I'LL PUT LAHANI TO A TEST

THAT IS GUARANTEED TO SMOKE HIM OUT,

BUT I NEED FULL COOPERATION FROM YOUR OFFICE, JOHN.

NO ROADBLOCKS, NO MAKING WAVES.

DO I GET IT?

ALL RIGHT, STEVE, GO.

HOW ARE YOU TODAY, CHRIS?

JUST FINE, GOVERNOR, FINE.

UM, I'M SUPPOSED TO MEET MR. DRUMMOND HERE.

THEY ALL LEFT A FEW MINUTES AGO.

BIG EMERGENCY MEETING IN MR. MANICOTE'S OFFICE.

EMERGENCY. WHAT ABOUT?

I DON'T KNOW, SIR.

THEY LEFT WORD FOR YOU TO GET OVER THERE RIGHT AWAY.

IS SHE READY TO TALK BEFORE A GRAND JURY?

PROBABLY NOT FOR A DAY OR TWO,

BUT I HAVE A FEELING -- CHRIS.

STEVE. WHAT'S UP?

SIT DOWN, CHRIS.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

UH...

OUR CASE AGAINST DUKE HAS BEEN SHAKEN PRETTY BADLY.

STEVE?

RUNNY GROSE -- THE INFORMER --

HAD A GIRLFRIEND NAMED ANGELA CAROLL.

SHE'S MAD BECAUSE RUNNY GOT HIT.

SHE'S BEEN TALKING TO US.

ACCORDING TO HER,

THE WHOLE THING AGAINST DUKE IS A FRAME.

ANGELA CAROLL --

I THOUGHT SHE SKIPPED TO CALIFORNIA.

OH? YOU KNOW HER?

NO, I NEVER MET HER,

BUT I HEARD BEN SAY THAT SHE SKIPPED.

WELL, SHE'S BACK. SHE CAME BACK LAST NIGHT.

WE HAVE HER IN PROTECTIVE CUSTODY.

WELL, WHAT HAS SHE TOLD YOU?

WELL, IT'S COMING OUT SLOWLY IN DRIBS AND DRABS.

WE HAVEN'T PUT IT TOGETHER YET.

WE DON'T WANT TO PUSH HER, CHRIS.

SHE MIGHT CLAM UP.

YEAH.

SHE KEEPS MENTIONING SOME OUTFIT IN SWITZERLAND.

SAYS THEY PULL ALL THE STRINGS.

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY SET UP THE FRAME AGAINST DUKE

TO PROTECT SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEONE IN THE GOVERNMENT.

THAT'LL BLOW THE LID OFF THE STATE HOUSE --

IF IT'S TRUE.

YEAH.

STEVE, THIS GIRL --

SHE'S IN A LOT OF DANGER.

BUT SHE'S WELL-PROTECTED.

WE'VE NEVER LOST A WITNESS YET AT THE MAUNAKEA HALI.

JOHN, I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE SOMEONE GO AND SEE JUDGE KALEHI

ABOUT A POSTPONEMENT BASED ON NEW EVIDENCE.

CHRIS, WILL YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT?

SURE.

YES, MAY I HELP YOU?

LAHANI, D.A.'s OFFICE.

I'M HERE TO INTERVIEW THE WITNESS.

I'M SORRY, SIR. NO ONE SEES HER BUT MR. MANICOTE.

I'M MR. MANICOTE'S ASSISTANT.

I'M SORRY, SIR.

DO I NEED CREDENTIALS?

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

NO ONE SEES HER BUT MR. MANICOTE.

OFFICER, YOU'RE ASKING FOR TROUBLE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

IS SOMETHING WRONG? WHAT IS IT?

EVERYTHING'S FINE, MISS CAROLL.

GO BACK INSIDE, PLEASE.

I'D LIKE A FEW MINUTES OF COMPUTER TIME.

ALL YOURS, MR. LAHANI.

DOSSIER ON RUNNY GROSE.

ANY SPECIAL PART?

UH...PHOTOGRAPHS.

RUNNY GROSE AND CLOSE ASSOCIATES.

UH, HOLD IT.

GO BACK TO THAT -- THAT NIGHTCLUB PICTURE.

RUNNY GROSE AND A WOMAN AT A TABLE.

THAT'S FINE.

THANK YOU.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

McGARRETT.

PERFECT. YEAH. THANKS, MIKE.

HE BOUGHT THE PICTURE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

YEAH?

THIS IS A VERY GOOD FRIEND.

I NEED AN OCTOBER 12th TODAY.

Must be important.

VERY.

YOU GOT IT.

THAT WAS CHRIS LAHANI. SOUNDS LIKE TROUBLE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MEET HIM?

ONE HOUR FROM NOW.

SAME TIME AND PLACE WE MET OCTOBER 12th.

I'LL TAKE A SLOW RIDE TO AIEA AND BACK

TO MAKE SURE I'M NOT FOLLOWED.

MR. MANOA, THIS COULD BE A TRAP.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE COOL, MISS SIMPSON, REMEMBER?

THERE'S A TIME FOR COOL AND A TIME FOR CAUTION.

INTERPOL'S BEEN ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT BRYCE-HALSEY, LTD.

THAT'S FOR THEM TO WORRY ABOUT, NOT ME.

I'D LIKE TO SEND A CABLEGRAM.

BRYCE-HALSEY, LTD. 24 KOENIGSALLE,

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND.

"HAWAIIAN STOCKS....

"IN STATE OF DECLINE.

AM TAKING APPROPRIATE ACTION."

SIGNED "SIMPSON."

IT'S MANOA.

THE MEET IS ON.

CHIN, DO YOU READ ME?

READ YOU, STEVE.

Both subjects are now in Area One.

WE'LL WAIT UNTIL THEY MEET BEFORE WE MAKE OUR MOVE.

HOW IS ROUTE 7 ON YOUR SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN?

BLOCKED OFF.

NOBODY GETS THROUGH, EXCEPT MAYBE A PATTON TANK.

GOOD. GOOD.

WE GOT TROUBLE.

TALK.

RUNNY GROSE'S GIRL -- SHE'S TALKING HER HEAD OFF.

YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE A HIT BEFORE SHE --

HOLD IT.

YOU MADE A MISTAKE. SHE'S BEEN HIT IN L.A.

THE COMPANY FIGURED SHE KNEW TOO MUCH.

IT CAN'T BE. I SAW HER MYSELF.

SHE'S HERE IN HONOLULU.
