[ "HAWAII FIVE-O" THEME PLAYS ]

GET THAT LATCH OPEN ON THAT THING.

I'LL BE BACK TO HELP YOU.

WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S ONE FREEZER UNIT FOR YOUR COMMISSARY.

THE COMMISSARY'S CLOSED. THIS IS SATURDAY.

WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO -- TAKE IT BACK?

OKAY, LET'S PUT IT IN HERE.

STACK IT OVER THERE.

YEAH.

SIGN HERE.

[ TICKING ]

HERE'S THE MESSAGE --

"WE HAVE STOLEN TWO BIRDCAGES OF PLUTONIUM

"AND PRODUCED A WORKABLE NUCLEAR BOMB.

"UNLESS YOU TURN OVER $100 MILLION IN CASH

"AND GUARANTEE US SAFE CONDUCT OUT OF THE COUNTRY,

WE WILL LEVEL HONOLULU."

PUT IT IN HERE, PLEASE.

"FURTHER, WE HAVE INCLUDED A SAMPLE OF OUR PLUTONIUM.

"PROPER TESTS WILL VERIFY ITS AUTHENTICITY.

"YOU HAVE 36 HOURS TO PUT THE CASH TOGETHER IN USED BILLS.

"AT THAT TIME, YOU WILL RECEIVE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.

"DO NOT TRY TO FIND US OR DETER US.

"IF ANY OF OUR MEN ARE CAUGHT, THE DEAL IS OFF,

AND YOUR CITY WILL BE IN RUINS BY 6:00 P.M. SUNDAY."

SIGNED "MERCURY."

WHEN WAS THIS DELIVERED, SIR?

MY SECRETARY FOUND IT TACKED TO THE OFFICE DOOR

WHEN SHE ARRIVED THIS MORNING.

WHAT ABOUT THE PLUTONIUM?

WELL...

COULD BE JUST A FRAGMENT OF COPPER TURNING GREEN.

YOU THINK IT'S A HOAX?

COULD BE, BUT AT THE LAST GOVERNOR'S CONFERENCE I ATTENDED

IN DENVER, COLORADO,

WE WERE WARNED THAT IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE,

THE CITIES OF THE WORLD

COULD FACE THE THREAT OF ATOMIC BLACKMAIL.

I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HONOLULU.

WHAT BETTER PLACE TO HIT?

THE WHOLE ISLAND OF OAHU

IS 46 BY 26 MILES.

NO WAY TO EVACUATE, AND THEY'VE GOT US ON A 36-HOUR TIMELINE.

WHAT ABOUT AN EXPERT TO VERIFY THIS, GOVERNOR?

THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADED NOW, STEVE.

I TALKED TO JONATHAN KAYE IN WASHINGTON.

HE CHECKED WITH THE ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION,

AND WE HAVE A TOP NUCLEAR MAN RIGHT HERE IN HONOLULU.

DR. ELIAS HAIG OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII.

YEAH, I'VE HEARD OF HIM.

HE WAS WITH THE MANHATTAN PROJECT, WASN'T HE?

HE GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO ALAMOGORDO.

WORKED ALONGSIDE OPPENHEIMER, TELLER.

JONATHAN KAYE DOESN'T THINK WE CAN FIND A BETTER MAN.

BESIDES YOU AND YOUR SECRETARY,

WHO -- WHO TOUCHED THIS NOTE, SIR?

NO ONE THAT I KNOW OF.

[ CLICKING ]

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

PLUTONIUM.

NOW, THAT'S AN EDUCATED GUESS,

BUT A SIMPLE LABORATORY TEST WILL BEAR ME OUT, I'M SURE.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE DRAWING?

OH, THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THE DRAWING.

THAT'S AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION

OF AN EFFECTIVE NUCLEAR DEVICE.

IN OTHER WORDS, DOCTOR, YOU'RE SAYING THAT THIS THREAT IS REAL.

REAL ENOUGH TO WARRANT EXTREME CAUTION.

YOU MEAN IT'S ACTUALLY POSSIBLE

FOR SOMEONE TO BUILD A HOMEMADE ATOMIC BOMB?

IT WOULD BE A LONG AND EXPENSIVE UNDERTAKING,

BUT IT IS ENTIRELY FEASIBLE.

WELL, WHERE WOULD YOU START?

A COUPLE OF BIRDCAGES OF PLUTONIUM.

BIRDCAGES?

THAT'S WHAT WE CALL THE SHIPPING CONTAINERS.

WELL, DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT KEEP STRICT TABS

ON ALL THE RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS?

OH, NOT STRICT ENOUGH.

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN HIJACKED

OFF OF ANY HIGHWAY ON THE MAINLAND.

I COULD CITE DOZENS OF CASES.

ONE CONSIGNMENT TURNED UP IN TIJUANA, MEXICO, BY MISTAKE.

AND ANOTHER $10 MILLION WORTH

IS THOUGHT TO HAVE GONE DOWN THE DRAIN

IN A FUEL PLANT IN PENNSYLVANIA.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOK -- "OUR SECOND NUCLEAR CRISIS."

I THINK IT STATES THE CASE VERY NICELY.

IF THEY DO HAVE THIS DEVICE, DR. HAIG,

HOW MUCH DAMAGE COULD IT DO?

10 SQUARE BLOCKS OR 10 SQUARE MILES -- WHO KNOWS?

WAIT A MINUTE. AREN'T WE GETTING AHEAD OF OURSELVES?

YOU SAID THIS BOMB COULD BE REAL.

IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT IS REAL.

YES, IT'S STILL POSSIBLE THIS IS JUST A HOAX.

ARE YOU WILLING TO GAMBLE ON THAT POSSIBILITY?

GOVERNOR, THERE'S ONLY ONE ANSWER.

WE COVER OURSELVES BOTH WAYS.

MAY I USE YOUR PHONE?

OH, SURE.

LET'S START FINDING OUT WHAT'S BEHIND THIS.

WHILE I TRY TO LAY MY HANDS ON $100 MILLION IN CASH.

WHERE ON EARTH CAN YOU LAY YOUR HANDS ON THAT KIND OF MONEY?

BY BUSTING THE BIGGEST PIGGY BANK IN THE WORLD --

THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

JENNY, GET ME DANNO, PLEASE.

WE'VE ONLY GOT 36 HOURS.

MAKE THAT 33 AND 1/2, GOVERNOR.

KEEP ME ADVISED, STEVE.

DANNO, I'M AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII PHYSICS LAB.

GET THE TEAM TOGETHER AND GET OVER HERE ON THE DOUBLE.

RIGHT. TOP PRIORITY.

DR. HAIG, I WANT YOU TO GIVE THE FIVE-O TEAM A CRASH COURSE

ON HOW TO MAKE AN ATOMIC BOMB.

HMM.

NOW, THE CORE OF THE BOMB IS A SPHERE OF PLUTONIUM

OF NEAR-CRITICAL SIZE, AND THIS IS --

EXCUSE ME, DOCTOR.

WE'RE TALKING TO COPS. HOW BIG IS "NEAR-CRITICAL"?

OH, NO LARGER THAN A BASEBALL.

AND THIS IS SURROUNDED BY HIGH-EXPLOSIVE CHARGES,

WHICH ARE SHAPED AND DIRECTED INWARD TOWARD THE CORE.

THESE CHARGES ARE THEN DETONATED SIMULTANEOUSLY

IN ORDER TO PRODUCE UNIFORM COMPRESSION ON THE CORE.

AND THAT'S TRICKY. IT REQUIRES PRECISION ENGINEERING.

WHAT MAKES IT TRICKY?

WELL, DID YOU EVER TRY TO GRAB A BAR OF WET SOAP?

WELL, THIS PRESSURE CRUSHES A TINY INITIATOR

AT THE CENTER OF THE CORE.

IT'S MADE OF BERYLLIUM AND POLONIUM-210.

AND THE SUDDEN BLENDING OF THESE TWO ELEMENTS

RELEASES A BARRAGE OF NEUTRONS.

LIKE A SHORT-CIRCUIT.

A BILLION-FOLD.

AND THESE NEUTRONS, IN TURN,

START A CHAIN REACTION IN THE PLUTONIUM.

WHY THE SHIELD OF URANIUM-238?

OH, THAT'S TO TRAP THE CHAIN REACTION

SO THAT IT BUILDS TO MAXIMUM FORCE BEFORE EXPLODING.

KA-POOH!

THAT'S IT.

IN THE SIMPLEST TERMS, YES.

THEN ALL THE MAJOR COMPONENTS

COULD BE PURCHASED RIGHT HERE IN HONOLULU.

IN SMALL AMOUNTS, THERE'D BE NO PROBLEM,

CERTAINLY ENOUGH TO BUILD ONE BOMB.

CHIN, NOW, YOU HAVE A LIST OF ALL THE CHEMICALS NEEDED.

NOW, I WANT A COMPLETE RUNDOWN

ON ALL ORDERS AND DELIVERIES OVER THE PAST YEAR.

ORDER ALL THE EXTRA MANPOWER YOU NEED.

WORK THEM 24 HOURS IF NECESSARY.

ANY QUESTIONS -- IT'S A CODE-THREE.

ANY STATIC -- REFER THEM TO THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR.

-GOT IT? -GOT IT.

BEN, CHECK WITH CITY HALL.

FIND OUT WHO'S BEEN TAKING OUT PERMITS FOR HIGH EXPLOSIVES

AND THEN RUN THEM DOWN.

ALSO, CHECK WITH HPD.

I WANT A LIST OF ALL THEFTS AND REPORTS OF MISSING SUPPLIES.

SHALL I CHECK OUT THE REGULAR DISTRIBUTORS WHILE I'M AT IT?

EVERYTHING. SAME PRIORITY I GAVE CHIN. GO.

VERY WELL, DOCTOR.

NOW, WE KNOW HOW THE BOMB IS MADE.

WHERE DO WE MAKE IT?

OH, SOME PLACE THE SIZE OF THIS LAB, AT LEAST.

HOW ABOUT A SMALL FACTORY OR WAREHOUSE?

OH, I SHOULD THINK THAT WOULD DO VERY NICELY.

HOW MANY MEN WOULD BE INVOLVED, BARE MINIMUM?

WELL, LET ME SEE.

THERE'D BE A DRAFTSMAN OR A MECHANICAL ENGINEER...

DANNO, GET THIS DOWN, PLEASE.

AT LEAST TWO MACHINISTS,

A VACUUM EXPERT, AN EXPLOSIVES EXPERT,

TWO CHEMISTS -- ONE NUCLEAR --

A METALLURGIST --

HE'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN CASTING THE PLUTONIUM CORE --

AN ELECTRONICS EXPERT, AND OF COURSE A NUCLEAR PHYSICIST

TO PULL IT ALL TOGETHER.

THAT WOULD MEAN SOMEONE

WITH YOUR BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS.

WELL, YES, BUT I SUSPECT HE'D BE YOUNGER.

IT'S A LONG AND STRENUOUS TASK.

HOW LONG, DOCTOR, FROM START TO FINISH?

EIGHT MONTHS, A YEAR.

NOT YOUR ORDINARY PENNY-ANTE BLACKMAIL OPERATION, IS IT?

HARDLY.

DANNO, GET TO WORK ON THAT LIST, PLEASE.

WHAT ABOUT THE KEY MAN, DOCTOR -- THE NUCLEAR PHYSICIST?

OH, THAT WON'T BE EASY.

THE MEN WHO COULD HANDLE AN OPERATION OF THIS SORT

ARE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

OKAY, CHECK WITH A.E.C.

I WANT TO FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE

AND WHERE THEY'VE BEEN KEEPING THEMSELVES FOR THE LAST YEAR.

RIGHT.

WELL, DOCTOR...

30 HOURS AND 20 MINUTES.

NOT VERY MUCH TIME, MR. McGARRETT.

NO, SIR.

AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, BUT PLEASE STAY NEAR YOUR PHONE

JUST IN CASE WE NEED YOU IN A HURRY.

ANYTHING I CAN DO.

THE PIGEON IS IN THE COOP.

HE CAME ON WINGS OF MERCURY. PASS THE WORD.

[ TICKING ]

RIGHT.

GO!

[ SIRENS WAILING ]

GET GOING. OKAY, GET ON.

PATCH ME THROUGH TO CHIN.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

Found the name of the company.

GO, MAN.

"SWISS METALLURGIST ANTON DOLEMAR

"WAS ADMITTED TO QUEEN'S HOSPITAL LAST NIGHT

"APPARENTLY SUFFERING FROM SEVERE RADIATION BURNS.

"NEITHER THE DOCTOR ON DUTY NOR THE VICTIM'S WIFE

WAS ABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ACCIDENT."

HUH. WAS THERE A FOLLOW-UP STORY ON THIS?

THE REPORTER NEVER DID ONE.

SEEMS THE DIAGNOSING INTERN MADE ONE SMALL MISTAKE.

DOLEMAR DIED OF CIRRHOSIS, NOT RADIATION POISONING.

AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT THE HOSPITAL INSISTED LATER.

DID YOU TALK WITH THE INTERN?

WELL, HERE'S WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING.

AS SOON AS THE MISTAKE WAS DISCOVERED, HE VANISHED.

HPD COULDN'T FIND A TRACE.

THE INTERN IS STILL ON THEIR MISSING-PERSONS ROSTER.

COME ON, DANNO.

WE'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS TO ASK SOMEONE.

ANY NEWS?

STILL TRYING TO FIT THE PIECES TOGETHER.

I BROUGHT YOU A COPY OF MY BOOK, WHEN YOU HAVE TIME.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

LAURA, PUT THAT IN THE OFFICE, PLEASE.

IS THERE ANYTHING I COULD DO?

WELL, WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO THE HOSPITAL.

MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO JOIN US. YOU MIGHT FIND IT INTERESTING.

THANK YOU.

ARE YOU SATISFIED THE INTERN MADE A MISTAKE

WHEN HE DIAGNOSED RADIATION POISONING?

INTERNS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO MAKE MISTAKES BEFORE.

THAT WASN'T THE QUESTION, DOCTOR.

PERSONALLY, I DIDN'T TREAT DOLEMAR,

SO I COULDN'T GIVE YOU THE EXACT CAUSE OF HIS DEATH.

WHY DON'T YOU CHECK THE DEATH CERTIFICATE?

YOU KEEP COPIES ON FILE HERE?

[ SIGHS ]

DOLEMAN, DONALDSON, DONNEL...

-NO DOLEMAR. -WHAT?

IT'S GONE.

MAY I USE YOUR PHONE?

McGARRETT -- MAY I SPEAK WITH THE GOVERNOR, PLEASE?

GOVERNOR? THERE'S NO TIME TO GO THROUGH CHANNELS.

HOW FAST CAN YOU GET ME AN EXHUMATION ORDER?

YES, SIR.

IMMEDIATELY.

WELL, WE HAVE ABOUT 10 HOURS AND 42 MINUTES.

NO CIRRHOSIS, HUH?

NOT A TRACE.

THIS MAN DIED OF RADIATION POISONING, STEVE.

HOW CAN YOU BE SO CERTAIN?

EPIDERMAL BURNS OVER 2/3 OF HIS BODY

AND EVIDENCE OF MASSIVE BRAIN-CELL DAMAGE.

AND IF YOU NEED MORE CONVINCING...

[ CLICKING ]

HERR DOLEMAR HAD A GOOD DENTIST.

13 FILLINGS -- EACH ONE RADIOACTIVE ENOUGH

TO BURN A HOLE RIGHT THROUGH THE TOP OF HIS HEAD.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, DR. HAIG?

NO.

SUCH A MONSTROUS WAY TO DIE.

[ SIGHS ]

OF ALL THE COMPANIES WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO TRACE

THROUGH THESE SUPPLIERS,

ONLY THE COMPANIES CHECKED HERE

APPEAR UNDER ALL FOUR HEADINGS.

NOW, ACCORDING TO OUR COMPUTER RUN,

OVER THE PERIOD OF THE LAST YEAR,

EACH OF THESE FIRMS ORDERED ALL OF THE MATERIALS NECESSARY

TO PUT TOGETHER A BOMB.

AND THEY'RE SPREAD OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE...

FROM MAKAHA TO KAILUA.

STEVE, I FINALLY GOT THROUGH TO THE DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION.

YOU WERE RIGHT.

DOLEMAR WAS A RESIDENT ALIEN, AND HIS PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT

WAS LISTED AS THE PACIFICA REFRIGERATION COMPANY

RIGHT HERE IN HONOLULU.

IT'S HERE. IT'S HERE!

DUKE?

ORDER AN HPD BACKUP TO PROCEED AT ONCE

TO THE PACIFICA REFRIGERATION COMPANY, 375 NIMITZ HIGHWAY.

OKAY, GENTLEMEN, LET'S GO.

DOCTOR, YOU COMING?

OH, NO, I'D ONLY SLOW YOU DOWN.

ALL RIGHT, SIT TIGHT, AND SAY A PRAYER.

THE HAWK HAS FOUND THE NEST. DO YOU HEAR ME?

The hawk has found the nest.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR, BUT DO NOT BE ALARMED.

[ SIRENS WAILING ]

STAND BACK.

NOTHING.

CLEAN AS A WHISTLE.

NOT CLEAN ENOUGH, DANNO, NOT CLEAN ENOUGH.

[ GEIGER COUNTER CLICKING ]

WE HAVE LESS THAN EIGHT HOURS LEFT TO TRACK THEM DOWN.

[ TICKING ]

MY STAFF AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING

WITH THE FEDERAL RESERVE SINCE YESTERDAY.

IT TOOK THE COMBINED RESOURCES

OF THEIR SAN FRANCISCO, SEATTLE, AND LOS ANGELES BRANCHES,

BUT WE FINALLY SCRAPED IT TOGETHER.

THE ENTIRE AMOUNT?

YES, JONATHAN.

GOOD. VANCE, HAVE A JET READY TO TRANSPORT THE MONEY

THE MOMENT WE GIVE THE DECISION.

EVEN IN A PHANTOM, IT'S A THREE-HOUR FLIGHT.

IF WE WANT TO GET THAT MONEY HERE ON TIME,

IT SHOULD BE ON ITS WAY.

WELL, THAT DECISION IS YOURS, GENTLEMEN.

I THINK IT'S ONLY FAIR TO WARN YOU THAT AS OF THIS MOMENT,

WE HAVEN'T A SINGLE CLUE AS TO THE IDENTITY

OF THE CONSPIRATORS NOR OF THE LOCATION OF THE BOMB.

JONATHAN, I ASSUME YOU YANKED ME OUT OF THE PENTAGON

BECAUSE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MY OPINION?

THAT'S RIGHT, DR. RICHTER.

PERSONALLY, I THINK THIS IS ALL QUITE NEEDLESS.

YOU ARE ONLY ASSUMING THIS BOMB ACTUALLY EXISTS.

DOCTOR, I DON'T HAVE TO REMIND YOU

THAT THAT ABANDONED FACTORY WAS SIZZLING WITH RADIOACTIVITY.

EVIDENCE OF A RESIDUAL PRESENCE

OF PLUTONIUM OR URANIUM, MR. McGARRETT,

BUT PROOF OF A BOMB, IT IS NOT.

DON'T LET THE ACCENT FOOL YOU, GENTLEMEN.

MY ESTEEMED COLLEAGUE

IS NOT FROM THE ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION, BUT FROM MISSOURI.

HE HAS TO BE SHOWN.

MEANTIME, MILLIONS OF LIVES ARE AT STAKE.

[ CHUCKLES ] SO TOUCHINGLY HUMANE, ELIAS.

BUT TYPICALLY UNSCIENTIFIC.

GENTLEMEN, PLEASE.

ALLOW ME, GOVERNOR.

THE FACTS SURROUNDING HERR DOLEMAR'S DEATH

SEEM TO INDICATE THAT SOMETHING WENT WRONG.

IS IT NOT EVIDENT THAT THE FACTORY WAS EVACUATED

BECAUSE AN ATTEMPT TO ASSEMBLE THE BOMB FAILED?

THEN THIS WOULD BE NOTHING MORE THAN AN AUDACIOUS BLUFF.

FROM OUR EXPERIENCE AT THE BUREAU,

WHEN THINGS GO HAYWIRE,

THE CONSPIRATORS USUALLY RUN SCARED.

IN THAT CASE, BY PAYING THIS RANSOM,

WE'D BE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THEIR HANDS.

PRECISELY.

STOP THIS! I WARN YOU! IF YOU LISTEN TO --

DR. RICHTER HAS A LONG HISTORY OF RECKLESSNESS

WHERE ATOMIC POWER IS CONCERNED.

I HAVE ALWAYS SAID THAT ONE DAY HIS SMUG COMPLACENCY

WILL GET US ALL BLOWN UP.

AND I FEAR THAT THIS MAY BE THE DAY.

[ INTERCOM BUZZING ]

THIS COULD BE OUR CALL.

YES?

There's a man on the line, sir.

He says he has a message for you from Mercury.

PUT HIM ON.

THIS IS THE GOVERNOR SPEAKING.

HE SAYS HE WANTS THIS ON THE CONFERENCE SPEAKER.

BY ALL MEANS.

YOU'RE ON THE SPEAKER.

Good afternoon, Mr. Kaye and Dr. Richter.

Gentlemen, the following are Mercury's instructions

for the delivery of the money.

Listen carefully as I will not repeat.

PROCEED.

AT PRECISELY 5:00 P.M. THIS AFTERNOON,

AN UNMARKED COURIER PLANE WILL LAND AT HONOLULU AIRPORT.

You, of course, will arrange for clearance.

IT'S AGAINST F.A.A. REGULATIONS TO FLY AN UNMARKED PLANE.

The money is to be ready

and loaded onto an uncovered luggage trolley.

On signal from our pilot, relayed by the tower,

YOU WILL HAVE ONE UNARMED MAN DRIVE THE TROLLEY

OUT TO THE PLANE AND WAIT.

We will take over at that point.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BOMB? WHAT ASSURANCES HAVE WE THAT --

Once our plane has cleared your radar,

the timing mechanism will be disconnected by remote control.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

YOU COULD JUST AS EASILY

REACTIVATE THE BOMB BY REMOTE CONTROL.

WE -- WE MUST KNOW ITS LOCATION SO WE CAN DISMANTLE IT.

Gentlemen, the orders are as follows.

When our plane has landed safely,

and we are satisfied that all the money is accounted for,

you will be informed of the bomb's location.

We warn you...

ANY ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE US OR INTERFERE WITH OUR ESCAPE

WILL RESULT IN THE IMMEDIATE DETONATION OF THE BOMB.

Is that clear?

PERFECTLY.

It is to be assumed that some of you gentlemen

are not entirely convinced we mean business...

Dr. Richter.

So, for those doubting Thomases among you,

a little demonstration of our sincerity has been arranged.

AT EXACTLY 1:00 THIS AFTERNOON, A MODEST RADIATION FLASH

WILL OCCUR SOMEWHERE IN KAPIOLANI PARK.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "RADIATION FLASH"?

Just a taste of what will happen

if Mercury's demands are not met.

AND NOW MY TIME IS UP.

DR. HAIG, EXACTLY WHAT IS A RADIATION FLASH?

IT IS A KIND OF SMALL ATOMIC FLASH FIRE,

BASICALLY INSIGNIFICANT.

BUT THE RADIATION PRODUCED BY THE FLASH

COULD BE LETHAL TO ANYONE WITHIN ITS RANGE.

THIS IS A PUBLIC PARK THEY'VE -- THEY'VE CHOSEN.

THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE, CHILDREN.

THEY COULD ALL BE KILLED.

YOU'VE GOT TO FIND IT IMMEDIATELY.

FOR ONCE, DR. HAIG AND I AGREE.

PATCH ME THROUGH TO DANNY WILLIAMS, PLEASE.

DANNO?

I WANT THE IMMEDIATE EVACUATION, KAPIOLANI PARK.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU TELL THEM.

TELL THEM IT'S A BOMB SCARE, A PRANK, ANYTHING,

BUT GET THEM OUT OF THERE.

RIGHT.

[ HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING ]

ATTENTION, PLEASE. YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.

WE HAVE REASON TO SUSPECT A BOMB MAY BE PLANTED IN THIS AREA.

YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.

THE SITUATION IS UNDER CONTROL.

AS A PRECAUTION, WE WANT EVERYONE TO EVACUATE THE AREA.

POLICE WILL DIRECT YOU TO THE NEAREST POINT OF SAFETY.

IT'LL BE A MOMENT, MR. McGARRETT.

AND I ASSURE YOU,

THIS SPECIAL DETECTOR'S WORTH A DOZEN GEIGER COUNTERS.

WE'LL FIND THAT PLUTONIUM MASS IN HALF THE TIME.

-MAKE IT FAST. -I WILL.

WILL YOU PLEASE ANSWER?

THIS IS HAIG. SOMETHING'S GONE WRONG.

I WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO MURDER.

NOW PUT ME THROUGH TO MERCURY AT ONCE.

I'm sorry. The number you have dialed has been disconnected.

BUT I MUST SPEAK TO MERCURY.

TO SOMEONE, TO ANYONE, NOW PLEASE PUT ME --

I'M SORRY, YOU'VE REACHED A WRONG NUMBER.

DOCTOR, PLEASE. WE'RE WASTING TIME.

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT.

DO YOU HAVE YOUR DETECTOR?

IT'S JUST HERE.

-HERE WE ARE. -GOOD. GOOD.

[ SIRENS WAILING ]

[ CLICKING ]

IT'S HERE! I'VE GOT IT! OVER HERE!

THE ICE-CREAM CART!

DON'T GO ANY CLOSER! STAND BACK.

CLEAR THE AREA. I CAN TAKE OVER NOW.

BETTER LET THE DEMOLITIONS EXPERTS HANDLE IT, DOCTOR.

I AM THE EXPERT HERE, MR. McGARRETT,

AND I WANT YOU ALL AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE,

AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN, DROP BACK. CLEAR THE AREA.

[ CLICKING ]

DR. HAIG IS TAKING OVER, GOVERNOR.

HE ALWAYS WAS A FOOL.

[ CLICKING CONTINUES ]

[ EXPLOSION ]

THANK GOD. I BELIEVE HE CONTAINED IT.

I THINK THE DECISION'S BEEN MADE FOR US.

ADMIRAL, CLEAR THE PHANTOMS TO HEAD FOR HAWAII.

BETTER SEAL OFF THAT BUILDING, MR. McGARRETT.

IT WILL BE WEEKS BEFORE ANYONE CAN GO NEAR IT.

SERGEANT.

LOOK, IT'S DR. HAIG!

DOCTOR.

-ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? -OH, YEAH.

HERE, SIT DOWN, PLEASE.

I FELL TRYING TO GET AWAY IN TIME.

-CHIN! -I'LL BE ALL RIGHT, THANKS.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, DOCTOR?

I'M --

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

CHIN, HELP DR. HAIG.

[ TICKING ]

YOU OUGHT TO REMEMBER THIS

FROM YOUR HIGH-SCHOOL SCIENCE CLASS, STEVE.

ALL I REMEMBER FROM HIGH-SCHOOL SCIENCE, JAY,

IS THE GIRL WHO SAT ACROSS THE AISLE.

NOW, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

IT'S A SYMBOL FOR THE ELEMENT MERCURY.

YEAH, IT FIGURES.

I know now that this was a lie --

a way to enlist my help,

a scheme conceived by power-hungry, greedy men

to use me for their evil purposes.

They found my Achilles heel -- my vanity.

And because of my folly, millions will die.

For this, I am profoundly ashamed.

Although for me, there is no escape either.

Stay and face the Holocaust or take flight --

it makes no difference.

I am doomed,

poisoned by the radiation from my own device.

So be it.

I could not live on and bear this terrible guilt.

Of course, there are those who will say

I am taking the coward's way.

Mr. McGarrett, I shall be gone when you find this.

But I feel I owe you, at least, an explanation.

While others like Klaus Richter

stole the honors that were rightly mine,

30 years the scales were tipped against me.

Everything I touched went sour.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

...a brilliant career mismanaged.

The child we prayed for -- stillborn.

Elizabeth's illness?

Years of suffering and expense.

Always the pain, never the reward.

But here, at last, was a chance,

a chance to set the record right,

to make up for all the misfortune.

They came to me with a great and noble plan,

a plan to end nuclear warfare forever,

a plan to benefit all mankind.

It was the answer to a dream

I had cherished since Alamogordo.

Stated simply, we would force the nations of the world

into using the atom for peaceful purposes only.

Then I would direct

the greatest humanitarian enterprise ever conceived.

The millennium was at hand.

I know now that this was a lie --

a way to enlist my help,

a scheme conceived by power-hungry, greedy men

to use me for their evil purposes.

[ DR. HAIG GROANING ]

They found my Achilles heel -- my vanity.

[ GROANING ]

YOU'RE GONNA BE A FOOL TO THE END, IS THAT IT, DOCTOR?

OH, PLEASE.

ON THAT TAPE OUT THERE, YOU SAID YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH YOUR GUILT.

THERE'S NO REASON TO DIE WITH IT, EITHER.

NOW, YOU CAN UNDO ALL OF THIS.

I WISH I COULD HELP, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE BOMB IS.

BUT YOU KNOW HOW THEY MOVED IT.

WITH A TRUCK, I THINK.

THEY -- THEY HIRED A TRUCK.

WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE? HOW -- HOW WAS IT CRATED?

IT WAS A WOODEN CRATE...

L-LIKE A FREEZER.

STEVE!

IN HERE, BEN.

DOCTOR, IF I FIND THAT BOMB,

I'M GOING TO NEED YOU TO DISMANTLE IT.

I-I CAN'T.

I CAN'T.

GET RICHTER.

NO, NO.

RICHTER WOULDN'T KNOW.

THEN YOU'VE GOT TO HANG ON.

YOU'VE GOT TO HANG ON, DOCTOR.

HELP ME MOVE HIM.

STAY WITH HIM. I'LL CALL YOU.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

THIS IS THE GOVERNOR SPEAKING.

YES.

YES, EVERYTHING AS YOU REQUESTED.

THE TOWER IS SET TO GIVE YOU IMMEDIATE CLEARANCE.

IT ARRIVED A FEW MINUTES AGO.

THEY'RE -- THEY'RE UNLOADING IT NOW

ACCORDING TO YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.

YES, SIR, ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH.

RIGHT, I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

KEEP IT MOVING.

WE'RE IN LUCK, OFFICER.

PACIFICA'S ACCOUNT WAS JUST CLOSED OUT LAST WEEK.

AND THE FINAL STATEMENT HASN'T BEEN MAILED YET,

NOR THE CANCELED CHECKS FOR LAST MONTH.

HERE IT IS. THE LAST CHECK, DATED THE 18th.

THAT WAS YESTERDAY.

$38.50 MADE OUT TO "CENTRAL MOVING AND STORAGE."

[ DIALING ]

PATCH ME THROUGH TO McGARRETT.

HERE WE ARE.

ONE DEEP-FREEZE UNIT FROM PACIFICA

PICKED UP FROM THE CLIENT

AND DELIVERED TO ALOHA TOWER.

ALOHA TOWER?

A SEARCH COULD MEAN HOURS.

WE DON'T HAVE HOURS. WHO MADE THE DELIVERY?

HARRY LUCK, HEAD DRIVER, AND HIS SWAMPER IS JOE LEONI.

DO YOU HAVE LUCK'S PHONE NUMBER?

YES, I DO.

786-2300.

IT'S SUNDAY. LUCK IS PROBABLY OUT ON HIS BOAT.

3-0-0?

HELLO?

I-IS YOUR DADDY HOME?

PUT YOUR FATHER ON, WILL YOU, PLEASE, SONNY?

MR. LUCK? McGARRETT, HAWAII FIVE-O.

[ TICKING ]

THAT'S IT.

TOWER CALLING MERCURY.

TOWER CALLING MERCURY. COME IN, MERCURY.

TOWER TO MERCURY. WE AWAIT YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.

DO YOU READ ME, MERCURY?

THIS IS CONTROL. WE AWAIT YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.

THEY DON'T ANSWER US. NOW WHAT?

WE WAIT.

DR. HAIG, THIS IS LEWIS CHU, CHIEF OF DEMOLITIONS.

NOW, HOW DO WE PROCEED?

THE SIMPLEST WAY WOULD BE

TO DISMANTLE THE REMOTE-CONTROL DETONATOR.

WOULD THAT COMPLETELY DISARM THIS BOMB?

NO, BUT IT WOULD PREVENT MERCURY FROM DETONATING IT.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I WANT THIS MONSTER DISARMED.

WELL, THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO REMOVE THE DETONATING DEVICE.

OKAY, LET'S GO.

ALL RIGHT, FIRST, TAKE OFF THE PLATE ON THE SIDE OF THE BOMB.

USE YOUR PHILIPS.

[ TICKING ]

MERCURY TO CONTROL. MERCURY TO CONTROL.

MERCURY TO CONTROL. PROCEED WITH LOADING.

NOW UNSCREW THE CAP YOU SEE INSIDE THERE.

[ TICKING ]

UNDER THAT IS THE CORE HOLDING THE DETONATING DEVICE.

TAKE IT OUT WITH EXTREME CARE.

IT MUSTN'T COME IN CONTACT WITH THE SIDES.

[ TICKING STOPS ]

[ EXHALING SHARPLY ]

DANNO, RED ALERT IS OFF. RED ALERT IS OFF.

IT'S GO ON YOUR END.

It's go on your end, Danno.

ALL UNITS, GO! NAIL THAT PLANE!

[ GUNSHOTS ]

DR. HAIG?

DR. HAIG, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

YEAH.

WE STOPPED THEM.

GOOD, GOOD.

WAS MERCURY ON THAT PLANE THAT BLEW UP?

MERCURY ISN'T A MAN.

A SYNDICATE?

A CONCEPT, MR. McGARRETT,

AN EVIL CONCEPT.

POWERFUL, RUTHLESS, AND THEY'LL TRY AGAIN.

UNTIL WE CATCH THEM.

DID YOU EVER TRY TO CATCH MERCURY?

IT ISN'T EASY TO DO.

IT'S...

QUICKSILVER.

WE'LL CATCH THEM.
