A MAINLANDER, ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO.

UH, NAME OF, UH, JOHNSON OR JOHANSON,

SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WASN'T IT?

RIGHT. ALBERT JOHANSON.

AS I REMEMBER IT, WE RAN INTO A DEAD END ON THAT ONE,

BUT THERE WAS A SET OF PHOTOGRAPHS

IN HIS POSSESSION.

I'LL SEND THEM IN.

WELL?

THE SAME.

OR TWINS.

KNOW HER?

[ CHUCKLES ]

I KNOW A LOT OF THEM, BUT NOT HER.

OKAY. TELEX ATLANTA. TELL THEM IT'S OUR TURF.

THEN START MAKING SOME RIPPLES. WAVES IF NECESSARY.

LET'S SEE WHOSE BOAT GETS ROCKED.

WE NEED A MAKE ON HER, BEN.

LOVELY GIRL.

BUT SORRY, BEN.

I'VE KNOWN YOU TOO LONG, DOLLIE.

-YOU'RE LYING. -SO ARE YOU, COP.

YOU REALLY THINK I'M SETTING YOU UP FOR A BUST?

WELL, AREN'T YOU?

I'M ON TO SOMETHING ELSE, DOLLIE, HONEST.

MIAMI...A YEAR AGO. TOOK A BUSMAN'S HOLIDAY.

I WAS DOWN THERE LOOKING AROUND FOR SOME FRESH FACES.

AND THIS ONE, A LOT OF CLASS. I LIKED HER.

BUT SHE WASN'T INTERESTED IN COMING TO HAWAII.

AND YOU NEVER SAW HER HERE IN HONOLULU?

I NEVER SAID THAT.

ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO,

I WAS DOWNTOWN DOING SOME FANCY SHOPPING.

AND THERE SHE WAS, LOOKING GREAT.

I SAID TO HER, "AS LONG AS YOU'RE HERE, HONEY,

WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME FIX YOU UP REAL GOOD?"

SHE JUST LAUGHED AND SAID,

"I'VE GOT ALL THE CONNECTIONS AND CONTACTS I NEED, AND ALOHA,

BYE-BYE."

AND YOU NEVER SAW HER AGAIN?

AND THAT'S THE TRUTH.

UNITED AIRLINES, FLIGHT 383 FROM DALLAS TO CHICAGO

NOW BOARDING AT GATE 19.

[ MAN COUGHS ]

WHAT'S THAT WOMAN GOT TO TALK ABOUT SO LONG?

WELL, I COULD CALL INEZ FOR YOU IF YOU --

NO, I GOT TIME.

ARE THEM THE PICTURES?

SAM, I -- I'M NOT SURE I OUGHT TO LET YOU DO THIS FOR ME.

YOU GOT ANYBODY ELSE?

NO.

NO ONE I COULD EVEN TALK TO.

IT ISN'T THE MONEY, SAM, EVERY MONTH.

YOU KNOW THAT. IT ISN'T THE MONEY.

IT'S THE FEELING OF BEING OWNED, OF SOMEBODY OWNING ME.

THAT'LL WRECK ME, SAM.

NOW, YOU'RE A FAMILY MAN LIKE ME.

YOU GOT INEZ AND THE BOYS. YOU UNDERSTAND.

I HAD TO TELL SOMEBODY OR I'D GO CRAZY,

BUT I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D UP AND GO AFTER 'EM.

IT COULD BE DEEP TROUBLE FOR YOU.

I'M INDEBTED TO YOU, WALLY, EVERYTHING I GOT, YOU KNOW THAT.

WHAT WAS I IN THE ARMY BEFORE WE MET?

NOTHING BUT A COUNTRY BOY MP.

WHAT WAS I WHEN I GOT OUT?

NOTHING BUT A PRIVATE DETECTIVE,

ROLLING AROUND MOTEL ALLEYS FOR THEM DIVORCE DOLLARS.

YOU GAVE ME MY FIRST INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT,

SET ME UP WITH ALL THOSE CORPORATE RETAINERS.

I'M INDEBTED TO YOU, WALLY.

YOU'RE IN TROUBLE, BOY.

I'M GONNA GET YOU OUT.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

Tollivers'.

INEZ, IT'S ME, HONEY.

Sam. Oh, honey, you didn't have to trouble.

I know you didn't mean it.

IT WOULD HAVE BOTHERED ME.

I'M SORRY TO HAVE COME DOWN ON YOU SO HARD.

Sam Tolliver. Why, I know you didn't mean it.

IT'S JUST I HATE TO GO AWAY WHEN ONE OF THE BOYS IS SICK.

AND I GUESS I'M FEELING GUILTY OR SOMETHING,

SO I CAME DOWN ON YOU, HONEY.

Don't you worry, darling. He's feeling better already.

Now, you just keep your mind on your work,

and we'll be here for you when you come, hear?

I HEAR YOU, HONEY.

BYE.

Bye, Sam.

[ SMOOCHES ]

I HEAR YOU TALKING TO INEZ,

AND I THINK ABOUT BETTY AND ALL WE'VE GOT.

WASN'T VERY BRIGHT, SAM.

NO, YOU WEREN'T.

I'M TELLING YOU, SAM,

YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW SMOOTH, HOW CASUAL --

WHY, THEY KNEW EVERYTHING, SAM, EVERYTHING.

WHAT INVESTMENTS I CARRY, MY PORTFOLIO,

EVEN WHEN THAT HYMN-SINGING OLD COOT'S GONNA STEP DOWN

IN MY FAVOR.

THEY TOLD ME THAT IF I WAS LATE WITH ONE PAYMENT, JUST ONE,

THEY'D SEND THE FIRST PICTURE TO BETTY,

THEN THE SECOND ONE TO MY PASTOR,

AND THE THIRD --

LAST CALL, FLIGHT 383, LEAVING GATE 19 FOR CHICAGO.

NO MORE TIME.

JUST LISTEN. I NEVER MADE A PROMISE I COULDN'T KEEP.

I'M GONNA GET YOU OUT OF THIS MESS.

YOU HEAR?

I GOT MY CREDENTIALS.

I'M A BIG, RICH BUSINESSMAN.

I'M GONNA MAKE THE SAME STOPS YOU DID.

CHICAGO, SAN FRANCISCO.

I GOT MY RESERVATION FOR HAWAII JUST LIKE YOU DID.

AND I'M GONNA GET 'EM, WALLY.

I'M GONNA GET 'EM GOOD. YOU BELIEVE ME?

-YEAH. -ALL RIGHT.

ONE MORE THING -- YOU GOT TO KEEP PAYING THEM THE MONEY

UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM ME.

I GOT TO HAVE TIME TO FIGURE THINGS OUT, OKAY?

[ CHUCKLING ]

YOU'RE A REAL FRIEND, SAM.

HEY, SAM TOLLIVER NO LONGER EXISTS,

AT LEAST NOT FOR A WHILE.

NOW, YOU REMEMBER THAT.

IF YOU CARE TO HAVE A SEAT, SIR,

YOUR CAR WILL BE READY IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS.

[ SIGHS ]

LET'S SEE, THE LIGHT SOURCE IS FROM HERE,

SO THAT WOULD INDICATE A WINDOW.

MAYBE HERE.

OF COURSE.

OF COURSE, IT'S THE PURSE.

THE SPECIAL CAMERA IS IN THE PURSE.

SUPPOSE THERE WAS A HIGHBOY HERE, OR A DRESSER.

NOW, THE PURSE IS RIGGED WITH AN APERTURE FOR THE LENS.

SOMEBODY HAS TO PREPARE THAT CAMERA AND PURSE

AND SET UP SPECIAL FILM.

YEAH, WELL THAT'S YOUR JOB, CHIN.

MR. ARTHUR JACKSON?

OH, I'M SORRY, HONEY,

I WAS, UH -- WAS INTO MY WORK.

NOW, HERE'S YOUR CONFIRMATION, AND YOUR CAR IS WAITING OUTSIDE

IN THE LOADING ZONE.

GOOD. NOW I WON'T HAVE TO HITCH.

[ CHUCKLES ]

DANNO, CHECK WITH THE SECURITY PEOPLE AT THE HOTELS.

SOME LOCAL GIRL COMES IN TWO OR THREE TIMES

WITH A MAINLAND HAOLE, MAYBE THEY'LL REMEMBER.

RIGHT.

BEN, SOMEBODY DEVELOPS THOSE FILMS.

PROBABLY SOMEBODY WITH HIS OWN DARKROOM,

BUT CHECK THE BORDERLINE LABS, ANYWAY.

AND, UH, HAVE THE GIRL'S PICTURE RUN OFF.

EVERY, UH, PATROL CAR, EVERY PLAINCLOTHES MAN,

EVERY BAR, RESTAURANT,

AND SATURATE IT.

OH, DARN.

[ CHUCKLES ]

OH, I'M SORRY TO DISTURB YOU,

BUT I BURN SO EASILY.

WOULD YOU MIND?

NOT AT ALL.

MM, THAT'S SO HELPFUL.

MM.

YOU HERE ALONE?

NO, WITH A FRIEND.

WELL, SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. A PRETTY GIRL LIKE YOU.

[ GIGGLING ]

MARIA, COME HERE, HONEY.

[ BOTH CHUCKLE ]

HEY, YOU.

SEE? YOU'RE LUCKIER THAN YOU THINK.

[ CHUCKLING ]

ABOUT THREE, FOUR DAYS UNDERWATER.

SAME DAY WE GOT THE TELEX ABOUT THE SUICIDE IN ATLANTA.

CAUSE OF DEATH?

SHE WAS DROWNED. LUNGS FULL OF WATER.

CHE TAKE HER PRINTS?

YEAH. KAREN BELL, 24, ORLANDO, FLORIDA. NO RECORD.

WHAT ABOUT THE CHIEF ON MAUI? ANYTHING?

SHE'S NOT KNOWN THERE.

FIGURES SHE WAS, UH, DUMPED IN THE CHANNEL.

WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN FOUND EXCEPT SHE DRIFTED A LITTLE.

WEIGHTS MUST HAVE GOTTEN CAUGHT IN THE BLACK CORAL REEFS.

IF THE LOCAL BOYS HADN'T BEEN DIVING FOR CORAL,

SHE MIGHT NOT BE FOUND YET.

THE TROUBLE THEY WENT TO...

TAKE HER OUT TO THE CHANNEL, BETWEEN MAUI AND LANAI.

OKAY, LET'S KICK OFF WITH WHAT WE KNOW.

TWO TOURISTS, BOTH SUICIDES, SAME GIRL.

SO FAR SHE'S THE OPERATIVE.

YEAH, SO FAR. BUT WITH ONE BIG QUESTION MARK.

TWO MEN FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE MAINLAND

HERE FOR A SHORT STAY.

HOW COULD ONE GIRL SET THEM BOTH UP FOR PICTURE SESSIONS,

PROBABLY BLACKMAIL, KNOW ALL ABOUT THEM, THEIR BACKGROUNDS,

SO FORTH, ALL BY HER LONESOME?

SOMEBODY ELSE, UM, PULLING THE STRINGS?

MAYBE SO, BUT WHY KILL THE GIRL?

SHE WAS DOING ALL RIGHT FOR THEM.

UNLESS WHOEVER'S PULLING THE STRINGS

HAS A FLOCK OF KAREN BELLS, A BUNCH OF OPERATIVES.

MEANING WHAT?

THAT YOU COULD KNOCK OFF ONE GIRL AND NOT FEEL IT?

WELL, OTHERWISE WHY WOULD...

[ SIGHS ] IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

NO, NO, DON'T BACK DOWN, DANNO.

I'M WITH YOU.

YOU MEAN THAT A FLOCK OF KAREN BELLS,

ONE COULD BE EXPENDABLE?

BUT STILL, WHY KILL HER?

OKAY. LET'S GO BACK.

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HER THAT WE'RE SURE OF?

WELL, SHE'S IN BOTH SETS OF PICTURES,

TWO TOURISTS, BOTH SUICIDES.

WELL, THAT'S IT. BOTH SUICIDES.

THAT MEANS A POLICE INVESTIGATION.

OF COURSE, SUDDENLY SHE'S A LIABILITY AND NOT AN ASSET.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

SO AFTER JOHANSON,

THE FIRST, UH, SUICIDE HERE IN HONOLULU,

HER STRING-PULLER SAYS...

"GET OUT OF SIGHT. BEAT IT,"

FIGURING THAT HER FACE IS IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS

IN JOHANSON'S POSSESSION,

AND MAYBE THE POLICE HAVE GOT THEM.

THE SECOND SUICIDE -- ATLANTA, PHOTOGRAPHS,

UH, SAME FACE TURNS UP AGAIN,

WELL, SHE'S GOT TO GO.

HOLD IT.

TOO FAR, TOO FAST.

A GUY KNOCKS HIMSELF OFF ON THE MAINLAND --

ATLANTA, GEORGIA --

AND THIS GIRL'S BOSS HERE IN HONOLULU

KNOWS ABOUT IT RIGHT AWAY?

NOBODY GETS INFORMATION THAT FAST, UNLESS...

UNLESS? YEAH?

UNLESS WHAT, BEN?

IT WAS SUCH A BIG OPERATION, HUGE.

OPERATIVES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

BUT IS IT POSSIBLE?

MAYBE THAT'S THE ONLY ANSWER THAT IS POSSIBLE.

GUY COMMITS SUICIDE IN ATLANTA,

ATLANTA POLICE CONTACT US.

THEY, HER EMPLOYERS,

GET THE INFORMATION ALMOST THE SAME TIME.

THEY HAVE HER KILLED PROFESSIONALLY.

[ SIGHS ]

TAKES A BIG OPERATION TO DO BUSINESS LIKE THAT.

[ SIGHS ]

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT TELEX AND THE INFORMATION WE HAD

ON THE FIRST SUICIDE HERE.

NOW, BOTH WERE WEALTHY BUSINESSMEN FROM THE MAINLAND.

BOTH WERE PEOPLE WITH IMAGES TO PRESERVE AT HOME.

BOTH SITTING DUCKS, WIDE OPEN.

YEAH, IN OTHER WORDS, KAREN BELL'S EMPLOYERS

MUST HAVE ADVANCE,

FULL AND VERY DETAILED PERSONAL INFORMATION

ABOUT THESE SITTING DUCKS,

EVEN BEFORE THEY STEP OFF THE PLANE HERE IN HONOLULU.

THAT, AGAIN, TAKES BIG ORGANIZATION.

IT ALSO TAKES AN ORGANIZATION

WITH THE LATEST IN COMMUNICATIONS --

TELEX, TELEPHOTO, COMPUTERS.

THAT WOULD FOLLOW, IF OUR ASSUMPTION IS CORRECT.

THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST, SOMETHING BIG,

SOMETHING NEW...

...AND SOMETHING RUTHLESS.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S FOLLOW OUR LOGIC WHERE IT LEADS US.

DANNO, I WANT TO KNOW EVERY COMPANY ON THIS ISLAND

THAT USES TELEX COMMUNICATIONS.

MR. JACKSON.

ARTHUR JACKSON.

RIGHT.

MR. JACKSON, I'M SELLING INSURANCE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

ANYBODY DRESSED LIKE YOU ARE IN THIS HOT CLIMATE

HAD BETTER TAKE OUT INSURANCE.

BLACKMAIL INSURANCE.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO, UH,

DISCUSS THIS MATTER OUT HERE IN THE OPEN?

I THOUGHT NOT.

I THINK, UH,

YOUR ROOM MIGHT BE BETTER.

DON'T YOU?

VIA TELSTAR.

WE HAVE A SATELLITE OVER EACH OCEAN.

SUPPOSE ONE OF THESE COMPANIES HERE IN HONOLULU

IS GETTING A MESSAGE.

-FROM THE MAINLAND? -YES.

BY CABLE FROM THE SENDER --

CHICAGO, CLEVELAND, WHEREVER,

TO THE COMPUTER BANK IN NEW YORK.

FROM THERE TO INTELSAT 4, OVER THE PACIFIC,

PICKED UP RIGHT HERE IN HONOLULU ON THAT RADAR DISH.

AND TELEPHONE LINES TO SUBSCRIBER COMPANIES.

WE'RE DOWN TO 79 COMPANIES.

UH, THEY'VE GOT WELL OVER A THOUSAND,

BUT MOST OF THEM ARE OBVIOUSLY OKAY.

YEAH.

MOST OF THESE WILL PROBABLY WORK OUT TOO,

BUT LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'RE DOWN TO A HANDFUL.

WILL DO.

HEY, MR. JACKSON...

DON'T TAKE IT SO HARD.

YOU WON'T MISS THE MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS WE'RE ASKING.

FOR LIFE?

A THOUSAND A MONTH?

YEAH, YOU WON'T MISS IT.

YOUR CAREER HASN'T EVEN PEAKED.

YOU'RE STILL GOING UP IN THE BUSINESS WORLD.

OR, UH, WASN'T MY INFORMATION ACCURATE?

OH, IT WAS ACCURATE, ALL RIGHT, AND --

AND -- AND -- AND VERY COMPLETE, BUT I --

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY, I -- I CAN'T OBLIGE YOU...

SONNY.

UH...

UH, MR. JACKSON, UH...

AREN'T YOU BEING A LITTLE HASTY?

I MEAN, SURE -- SURE, YOU'VE GOT A GUN, BUT, UH...

YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T USE IT.

WHY NOT?

WHAT'S -- WHAT'S THE POINT?

I MEAN, YOU -- WELL, YOU PULL THE TRIGGER --

I KILL YOU. [ CHUCKLES ]

THAT'S JUST THE POINT.

LOOK, THERE'S SECURITY POLICE ALL OVER THE HOTEL.

YOU'D BE EXPOSED.

LOOK, EVEN -- EVEN IF YOU DESTROY THE PHOTOS,

MY -- MY PEOPLE STILL HAVE THE NEGATIVES.

HEY, YOU DON'T -- YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, BOY.

[ STAMMERING ] IT'S LARRY.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, LARRY BOY.

THIS GUN AIN'T MEANT TO KILL YOU.

THIS GUN IS MEANT TO KEEP YOUR ROTTEN HANDS OFF THIS MACHINE.

NICE OF YOU TO TAKE THAT SEAT I OFFERED YOU, LARRY BOY.

VIDEOTAPE?

MY OWN LITTLE PICTURE SHOW.

NICE LITTLE STORY COURTESY OF LARRY, UH...

TOBA. LARRY TOBA.

NOW, I NEED JUST ONE MORE LITTLE THING TO FINISH MY PICTURE SHOW,

MR. TOBA BOY.

THE NAME OF YOUR ORGANIZATION...

...AND THE HEAD MAN.

LISTEN TO ME, LARRY,

NOW, LISTEN GOOD.

FROM NOW ON, I OWN YOU.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

I...

OWN...YOU.

IF I SEND THAT TAPE TO THE POLICE, WHICH I MIGHT DO,

YOUR GOOSE IS COOKED.

IF I SEND THAT TAPE TO THE HEAD MAN,

YOU'RE A DOUBLE-COOKED GOOSE.

AND I MIGHT DO THAT, TOO.

SO YOU NEED ME.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, LARRY?

HUH?

NOW, FINISH MY PICTURE SHOW.

WHAT'S THE NAME OF YOUR ORGANIZATION?

WHO'S THE HEAD MAN?

-VERITEX. -SPEAK UP.

VERITEX.

THE -- THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD IS WILLIAM SPEER.

THAT'S A GOOD BOY.

GET UP.

WHAT YOU GONNA DO NOW?

WELL, I'M GONNA GET DRESSED.

AND THEN WE'RE GOING FOR A WALK.

JUST YOU AND ME ALONE, FRIEND.

FIRST OFF, MAIL THIS OFF FOR SAFEKEEPING.

TO WHOM?

[ CHUCKLES ]

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA GO ON UP TO OLD VERITEX.

NO, NO, NO, NO. NO, I --

AND YOU'RE GONNA INTRODUCE ME

TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.

TAPPING A TELEX.

I THINK YOU'VE GOT A FIRST, STEVE.

WELL, I'M NOT DANCING FOR JOY ABOUT THE HONOR.

ARE YOU SURE YOU'LL NEED FIVE COURT ORDERS?

WE STARTED WITH OVER A THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS.

MOST OF THEM CHECKED OUT QUICKLY AS LEGITIMATE.

FREIGHT ORDERS, SALES, AND SO FORTH.

BUT THOSE FIVE,

THE NATURE OF THEIR BUSINESS IS VAGUE.

WHAT ABOUT THE WARRANTS TO LET US MONITOR THEIR HOME PHONES?

JOHN, WE'RE DEALING WITH MURDER AND BLACKMAIL

ON A MASSIVE SCALE.

JUDGE KALEHEI'S ORDERS ARE STRICT.

IF YOU ZERO IN ON ONE, OKAY, BUT NOT FIVE.

I WISH HE COULD SEE WHAT I SAW AT THE MORGUE --

A 24-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

FOUND HER IN THE MAUI CHANNEL AT 30 FATHOMS.

THAT OLD CODGER SURE MAKES IT TOUGH.

YES?

IS HE IN? IT'S URGENT.

MR. SPEER?

LARRY TOBA HAS TO SEE YOU -- IMMEDIATELY.

Send him in.

SEND IN MR. ARTHUR JACKSON, PLEASE.

I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

WE DON'T, YOU DO.

YOU'RE NOT ARTHUR JACKSON, ARE YOU?

THAT'S RIGHT, I'M NOT.

AND THAT'S ONLY ONE OF YOUR PROBLEMS, MR. SPEER.

YOU BUY EVERYTHING THAT COMPUTER TELLS YOU,

AND IT'S ONLY A PIECE OF HARDWARE.

WELL, IF YOU'RE NOT ARTHUR JACKSON,

WHAT SHALL I CALL YOU?

CALL ME...

...PARTNER.

25%.

NOW, THAT AIN'T SO GREEDY, IS IT?

MM, THANK YOU.

[ GRUNTS ]

I AIM TO WORK FOR IT.

NEVER BEEN THE KIND OF MAN TO TAKE SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

ALWAYS DELIVER.

AND I GOT AN IDEA THERE'S, UH...

...QUITE A GREAT DEAL OF INEFFICIENCY AROUND HERE,

LIKE TAKING THE WORD OF THAT COMPUTER ABOUT ME.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YEAH, I GOT A FEELING I COULD RAISE THE PERFORMANCE LEVEL

AROUND HERE, OH, HALF AGAIN AS MUCH.

SO MY ASKING FOR 25% OF THE PROFIT AIN'T SO BAD,

NOW, IS IT?

WOULD YOU CARE TO TELL US

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF BEFORE WE, UH...

I'M A MAN ON THE RISE, MR. SPEER.

LIKE, UH, MR. ARTHUR JACKSON.

A MAN ON THE RISE, SEIZING HIS OPPORTUNITY,

LIKE THEY TEACH YOU IN THOSE FANCY BUSINESS SCHOOLS.

ONLY I GOT TO DO THIS IN MY OWN WAY

ON ACCOUNT I -- I NEVER BEEN TO NONE.

AND MY OWN WAY IS HARD WORK, PILE RIGHT IN.

SO THE -- THE SOONER YOU SHOW ME THE ROPES AROUND HERE,

THE SOONER I CAN MAKE MY CONTRIBUTION.

THE ROPES?

NOW, EXACTLY WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND?

OH, THE OFFICE LAYOUT,

YOUR CONTACTS ON THE MAINLAND, LIKE THAT.

AND THE NEGATIVES,

THEY AREN'T HERE, YOU KNOW?

OH, NO.

I'M AWARE OF THAT, MR. SPEER.

MM, THE MAN WHO HAS THOSE NEGATIVES

HAS THE WHOLE WORKS, RIGHT?

SO I DIDN'T FIGURE I'D SEE 'EM LYING AROUND HERE, NO, SIR.

[ CHUCKLING ]

ANYWAY, UH, I DON'T NEED 'EM.

THAT VIDEOTAPE'S MY INSURANCE.

YOU GOT THE NEGATIVES, I GOT THE VIDEOTAPE.

WE GOT OURSELVES A SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCE,

MR. SPEER.

NOW, LISTEN, YOU FOLKS,

I REALIZE THAT I LAID A KIND OF SURPRISE ON YOU FOLKS.

Y'ALL NEED TIME TO DELIBERATE.

NO RUSH.

JUST SO LONG AS SOMEBODY CALLS ME

WHEN YOU'VE MADE YOUR DECISION.

MM!

OL' LARRY HERE SAW ME MAIL OFF THAT VIDEOTAPE.

SO IF ANYBODY'S ENTERTAINING ANY IDEA OF SOME HARM COMING TO ME

OR MY FRIEND LARRY THERE,

THAT OLD TAPE GETS ROUTED RIGHT TO THE POLICE.

NOW THAT WASN'T NICE OR NECESSARY OF ME TO SAY,

BUT I'M JUST A CRUDE OLD COUNTRY BOY.

[ TAPPING ]

SEE YOU AROUND.

MR. WILLIAMS, THEY'RE TAPPED IN.

THESE ARE NOW SLAVES TO THE MACHINES

RIGHT INSIDE THOSE FIVE COMPANIES.

THEY'LL OPERATE WHEN THE PARENT MACHINES DO.

STEVE, GOT A BREAKTHROUGH ON OUR VERITEX. LISTEN TO THIS.

THE FIRST ONE'S A CREDIT CHECKOUT, STRAIGHT AND SIMPLE,

BUT USING CODE SO IT FOOLED US.

YEAH. GO ON.

The second, I think we got a bonus.

WHAT KIND OF BONUS?

A BOOKMAKER WE NEVER KNEW ABOUT.

GOOD. THAT'S TWO OFF THE LIST.

THE, UH, THIRD ONE DEALS IN GOLD.

GOLD? NOTHING ELSE? JUST GOLD?

You deal in gold, and apparently

you don't need to deal in anything else.

FOURTH ONE'S GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.

DEEP FINANCIAL TROUBLES, IT LOOKS LIKE.

BUT THE FIFTH BABY, VERITEX...

YEAH? VERITEX. WHAT ABOUT VERITEX?

WHAT'S COMING OVER?

WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

NOTHING PUT FULL PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS

ON DOZENS AND DOZENS OF INCOMING TOURISTS.

ALL RICH?

All rich, respectable --

AND SITTING DUCKS.

GOOD WORK, DANNO.

GOOD WORK.

VERITEX, HUH?

OKAY, I'LL CALL MANICOTE RIGHT AWAY.

IF HE CAN'T GET ME COURT PERMISSION

FOR BLANKET PHONE TAPS ON EVERY EMPLOYEE, BOARD MEMBER, CONTACT,

I'LL DRAG IN THE GOVERNOR.

NOW, HE SAYS HE WANTS 25%.

ANYBODY BELIEVE THAT?

I DON'T.

I SAY 25% ON THE WAY TO 100%.

NOW, ANY GUESSES AS TO WHY HE'S SO HUNGRY?

JUST AN IMPRESSION.

HE SERVED THE BIG BOYS FOR SO LONG, HE HATES THEM.

A SMILING SERVER.

READY FOR HIS OWN BIG KILLING.

DO YOU, UH, READ HIM AS A LONER OR SOMEONE WHO USES HELP?

I READ HIM AS A PROFESSIONAL --

ALONE WHEN POSSIBLE, USES HELP IF HE HAS TO.

AND HE'D KNOW WHERE TO GET IT.

AND HIS NEXT MOVE FOR THE NEGATIVES AND TO ELIMINATE ME.

OR VICE VERSA.

IF THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE NEGATIVES.

DON'T TOUCH THAT.

WHAT WE NEED NOW ARE SPECIFICS.

WHAT IS HIS TRAINING?

WHAT'S HIS VULNERABILITY, AND WHAT'S HIS BACKGROUND?

I WANT YOU TO TAKE THE PRINTS OFF OF THIS ASHTRAY

AND HAVE A TELEPHOTO READY TO SEND IMMEDIATELY

WITH THE MESSAGE I'M ABOUT TO DICTATE TO OUR DALLAS CONTACTS.

SIT, PLEASE.

WHERE OUR FRIEND, ARTHUR JACKSON,

BEGAN HIS JOURNEY...

"NOTE -- URGENT.

"REQUEST REAL IDENTITY, ARTHUR JACKSON,

"STAYING HAWAIIAN REGENT HOTEL.

"NOT ARTHUR JACKSON OF DALLAS.

"REPEAT. NOT ARTHUR JACKSON.

"PRINTS ACCOMPANYING THIS MESSAGE.

"ABOUT 38, 6 FEET, DARK WAVY HAIR.

"HAS OR AFFECTS WESTERN ACCENT.

CHAIRMAN REQUESTS URGENT A-1 PRIORITY THIS MATTER."

STEVE?

HERE IT IS OUT OF WASHINGTON.

"SAM TOLLIVER, PRIVATE INVESTIGATIVE AGENT,

INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNTS, DALLAS, TEXAS."

SO THOSE PRINTS BELONG TO A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR.

WHAT'S A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR DOING WITH VERITEX?

WONDER WHY HE DIDN'T TELL US HE WAS HERE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

ARTHUR JACKSON HERE.

Good evening, Mr. Jackson.

Hope I'm not disturbing anything.

No, not at all.

In fact, I'd be more disturbed if you hadn't called.

THOUGHT OVER MY PROPOSITION?

Yes. Very thoroughly.

I now feel we're ready to do business.

GOOD. YOU WON'T REGRET THAT.

NO SIRREE, YOU WON'T REGRET THAT ONE BIT.

WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET TOGETHER?

Well, how's tomorrow morning at 10:00

at my place at the beach?

YOUR PLACE AT THE BEACH?

I'm sure Larry told you about that

when he told you about the negatives.

THAT'S RIGHT.

Larry told me everything.

Well, see you in the morning, then.

Good night.

Goodbye.

[ Clicks ]

[ DIALS ]

OPERATOR.

I WANT TO PLACE AN OVERSEAS CALL -- CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

THAT'S RIGHT, HONEY, CHICAGO, LIKE IN ALL THOSE OLD MOVIES.

We have your party on the line, Mr. Jackson.

Cal?

Who's calling?

Sam T. I'm in Honolulu.

Wasn't sure.

These overseas calls ain't the clearest.

What are you doing there, Sam?

For your health or business?

Business. Serious business.

Okay. What do you need?

Name of a doctor, Cal.

I got a friend who's very sick, might be terminal.

Ah, you're gonna need the best.

I can fly out a very capable specialist.

No time, Cal.

I need a local man. Got any recommendations?

Yeah, yeah, I think so.

Don Makala.

He's good. I got the number here. Just a minute.

Yeah, uh, 589-0589.

Got it.

No sweat.

Glad to help your sick friend.

Bye.

HE PHONED MAKALA TWICE.

NO ANSWER. THEN HE GOT HIM.

HE'S GONNA SEE THE GUY, UM, IN AN HOUR AT MAKALA'S PLACE.

AN HOUR.

AN HOUR'S TIME ENOUGH.

A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR MAKING SOME KIND OF DEAL WITH VERITEX

THEN HIRING A KILLER?

MAYBE HE'S ACTING FOR A CLIENT WHO'S BEING BLACKMAILED.

OR MAYBE HE'S A PART OF THE VERITEX OPERATION IN SOME WAY.

YEAH. WELL, IN ANY CASE, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED, A WAY IN.

OKAY, LET'S GO.

[ BUZZES ]

WHO'S THERE?

JOB PAYS 10 GRAND.

FOR A HARD SQUEEZE, MAYBE A HIT.

I SUPPOSE YOU WANNA KNOW WHO YOUR MARK IS.

NO.

I WANNA KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

I'M THE MAN PAYING YOU.

I'M CLEAN AND I'M GOOD.

THERE'S NOT A POLICE MARK ON ME.

THAT'S BECAUSE I ALWAYS KNOW EXACTLY WHO I'M WORKING FOR.

15 GRAND.

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

YOUR OPERATION.

WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH YOU?

IT TELLS ME WHETHER YOU'RE LIVING IN A COCONUT TREE OR NOT.

WHETHER I WANT YOUR JOB OR NOT.

[ CHUCKLES ]

CAL SAID YOU WERE THE BEST.

HE DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE ALSO SMART.

You got a real plush future with me if you want it.

You said nothing about the present.

Fair enough.

DOES VERITEX MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

YOU TELL ME.

BLACKMAIL.

ON A REAL BIG SCALE.

FELLA HEADS IT UP SHOULDN'T.

I SHOULD. I THINK I GOT MORE BRAINS THAN HE HAS.

But he has the negatives on them folks he's blackmailing.

AFTER TONIGHT, I'LL HAVE THEM.

WHAT DO YOU GOT ON HIM?

CONFESSION ABOUT THE ENTIRE OPERATION,

FROM THE BOY THAT HE SENT TO PUT THE SQUEEZE ON ME.

I CAME ON LIKE A REAL RICH TOURIST, YOU KNOW.

I TURNED THE TABLES ON THEM.

AND I HAD A VIDEOTAPE MACHINE TAKING IT ALL DOWN.

HE'S WILLING TO GIVE UP 25%.

BUT I THINK I CAN GET IT ALL.

WITH YOUR HELP.

OKAY.

-GOOD. -WHEN?

HE'S EXPECTING ME AT HIS BEACH HOUSE

ABOUT 10:00 TOMORROW MORNING.

I THINK WE SHOULD GET THERE BEFORE DAWN.

HE'LL BE SOUND ASLEEP, HIS DEFENSES DOWN GOOD.

I NEED A WHOLE LAYOUT.

I GOT IT.

HE'S A BACHELOR.

GOT A REAL NICE IMAGE FOR HIMSELF UP AND DOWN THAT BEACH.

JUST A QUIET BUSINESSMAN LIVING ALONE.

HE'S GOT A SERVANT

LIVING IN THAT WING OUT THERE.

HE'S GOT A COOK COMES IN EVERY MORNING,

LEAVES AFTER DINNER.

NO DOGS, NO ELECTRIC GATES, NO ALARMS.

NOTHING.

JUST MR. NICE.

YOU DON'T THINK THIS IS TOO OPEN?

TOO INVITING?

LIKE, UH, COME INTO MY PARLOR?

MAYBE.

BUT I THINK I'VE TAKEN ALL HIS CARDS.

I THINK I'M READY FOR ANYTHING HE'S GOT.

Who gave you the layout?

Same boy who gave me the confession.

I got it all on videotape.

I own it. I own him.

YOU IN?

WHEN?

TONIGHT.

YOU SAID THAT.

I GOT SOME GETTING READY TO DO.

-WHEN DO WE MEET? -WE'VE MET.

That's my policy. I never change it.

ALWAYS STICK WITH THE MAN I'M GONNA DO A SERIOUS JOB WITH,

FROM THE TIME I TELL HIM TO THE TIME THE JOB IS DONE.

JUST LIKE THE ARMY.

GET TO BE A REAL TEAM, REAL FAST.

NOW I THINK I'LL HAVE THAT DRINK YOU OFFERED ME.

NEVER WITHOUT IT.

[ CHUCKLES ]

INSOMNIA?

NO.

ACTUALLY, I'D PLANNED A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR YOU LATER ON

THIS MORNING, BUT I CAN GIVE IT TO YOU RIGHT NOW.

I'M SORRY.

NO PERSONAL CALLS PERMITTED.

UH, THE CALL WAS NOT FOR MY BENEFIT, MR. TOLLIVER.

THE CALL WAS FOR YOUR BENEFIT.

CALL YOUR HOME, MR. TOLLIVER...

IN DALLAS...

AT MY EXPENSE OF COURSE.

UNLESS YOU'D LIKE ME TO GET THE NUMBER FOR YOU.

I DO KNOW IT,

EVEN THE NAMES OF YOUR TWO SONS.

[ Ringing ]

Hello?

INEZ, HONEY?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

Sam? Where are you?

Sam, there's two men here.

They've got guns on me and the boys. Sam...

INEZ? HONEY --

They say it's up to you.

What do they mean, Sam?

THAT'S MY SURPRISE, MR. TOLLIVER.

TWO OF MY MEN ARE GUARDING THEM,

BUT YOUR FAMILY IS SAFE AND IN GOOD HEALTH.

IF ANYBODY HURTS MY FAMILY --

NOW, THE SOONER THEY DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT MY MEN

AND THOSE GUNS, THE BETTER FOR YOUR FAMILY,

DON'T YOU AGREE, MR. TOLLIVER?

IT'S VERY EASILY DONE.

WHERE'S THE VIDEOTAPE OF LARRY?

AT MY HOTEL.

I MAILED IT TO MYSELF.

MAY I RING FOR MY HOUSEBOY?

WHAT FOR?

WHY, TO GO WITH YOU FOR THE TAPES, MR. TOLLIVER.

THE SOONER I GET THEM,

THE SOONER YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN GO FREE.

WILL YOU KINDLY ASK YOUR MAN HERE TO PUT AWAY HIS GUN?

IF YOU TRY TO FORCE ME TO CALL MY MEN AT YOUR HOME,

MR. TOLLIVER, I MUST WARN YOU,

I HAVE A CODE ARRANGEMENT WITH THEM.

NOW, IT WILL SOUND AS IF I'LL BE DOING YOUR BIDDING,

BUT ACTUALLY I WILL BE ORDERING THEM TO KILL

EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

COME IN, PHILIP.

YES, MR. SPEER?

I HAVE AN ERRAND FOR YOU, PHILIP.

I'D LIKE YOU TO GO INTO TOWN WITH MR. TOLLIVER HERE.

YES, SIR.

SHALL I OPEN THE DRAPES?

MIGHT AS WELL.

OH, I HAVE A FEELING IT'S GOING TO BE A LOVELY DAY.

COME ON. LET'S GO. I WANT TO GET THOSE MEN OUT OF MY HOUSE.

YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD.

QUICK. UP.

MR. SPEER, THIS IS BEN KOKUA OF FIVE-0.

IS THAT SO?

PHILIP IS USUALLY RIGHT ABOUT THESE THINGS.

MR. SPEER?

This microphone is picking this all up. Shall I bust it?

NO, NO, NO.

I'M SURE IT'S MR. McGARRETT AT THE OTHER END, AND I --

I NEED TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH HIM.

MR. McGARRETT?

UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR MAN DEAD, PLEASE REPLY.

YEAH, I'M HERE.

I HAVE MY CRUISER AND CREW STANDING BY OFFSHORE.

IN A MOMENT, I'M GOING TO WALK OUT OF MY HOUSE.

MY MAN WILL HAVE A GUN TO MR. KOKUA'S HEAD.

NOW, YOU MAY GET ONE OR THE OTHER OF US,

BUT MR. KOKUA WILL BE A DEAD MAN BEFORE YOU GET US BOTH.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I want to go to my launch.

Then Mr. Kokua will be set free, unharmed,

ON THE BEACH.

AFTER THAT I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THE COAST GUARD.

DID YOU READ ME?

YEAH, I READ YOU, SPEER.

Well?

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO BEN KOKUA, ANYTHING,

WE'RE NOT GONNA WAIT FOR THE COAST GUARD.

I'LL BLOW YOU OUT OF THE WATER MYSELF.

YOU READ ME?

I READ YOU, MR. McGARRETT.

Take your walk.

THIS IS MR. SPEER.

PREPARE TO WEIGH ANCHOR IN TWO MINUTES.

WE'RE ON OUR WAY.

[ TENSE THEME PLAYING ]

SPEER! FREEZE!

IT'S UP TO YOU.

DO YOU TRUST HIM TO MAKE THE PHONE CALL TO YOUR HOME?

DALLAS POLICE, DANNO, GET 'EM ON IT.

BEN, THIS ONE'S UNDER ARREST TOO.

OL' COUNTRY BOY BLEW ONE, HUH?

I'D HATE TO BE THERE WHEN YOU TRY TO EXPLAIN

TO YOUR KIDS YOU DID IT ALL FOR THEIR SAKE.

BOOK HIM, BEN.
