[ "HAWAII FIVE-O" THEME PLAYS ]

IS HE BACK YET?

THANK YOU.

HELLO. YEAH, IS MR. LEFFERTS BACK FROM LUNCH YET?

TOM MADRID CALLING.

HE'S BACK.

MR. HELLER, WE ARE RICH. [ CHUCKLES ]

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH YOUR SHARE OF THE MONEY?

WELL, WE DON'T HAVE IT YET, DO WE?

A DETAIL, MY FRIEND. AN INFINITESIMAL DETAIL.

DON'T BE A WORRIER, MR. HELLER.

YEAH, YEAH, MARK?

YEAH, IT'S TOM.

WE HAVE THE MERCHANDISE. WE'RE READY TO DEAL.

3:00?

FINE. WE'LL BE THERE. BYE, MARK.

WE GOT HALF AN HOUR TO KILL. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

WELL, UH -- LOOK!

SOMEONE'S BREAKING INTO THE TRUNK!

THEY'RE AFTER IT!

HEY! GET AWAY FROM THAT CAR!

OH, MY GOD. WHAT IS THIS?

HE'S DEAD. I KILLED HIM.

YOU KILLED HIM?

I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE.

W-WAIT A MINUTE.

OH, MY GOD.

WAIT A MIN--

WAIT A MIN--

[ TIRES SQUEAL ]

COME ON, LET'S GO.

WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

QUICK! RUN!

STOP!

OFFICER --

EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL. I'VE GOT ONE OF THEM HERE.

THEY GOT AWAY IN A BIG GRAY CAR.

I GOT THEIR LICENSE NUMBER. EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL.

ALL RIGHT. COME ON, MISS.

YOU'RE COMING BACK TO TOWN WITH ME.

[ SIRENS WAILING ]

WHERE'S THE VICTIM?

WHAT'S WRONG?

-WE CAN'T FIND HIM. -CAN'T FIND HIM?

WE GOT A REPORT THAT SOMEONE WAS SHOT AND KILLED.

ALL WE CAN FIND ARE THESE BLOOD STAINS.

THEY TRAIL ALL THE WAY TO THE TRASH CANS.

MAYBE SOMEBODY PICKED HIM UP. WE'LL CHECK ALL THE HOSPITALS.

CHIN, GET CHE OVER HERE. I THINK WE NEED AN ANALYSIS.

RIGHT.

ANY OF YOU GET A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PEOPLE?

MERCY...

I WAITED ON THEM. THERE WERE THREE OF THEM.

THANK YOU.

A MAN NAMED GEORGE HELLER PAID THE BILL WITH A CREDIT CARD.

I'LL RUN IT THROUGH THE CREDIT BUREAU.

THEY ARRESTED THE GIRL.

WHY DON'T YOU CHECK WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT?

WHO ARRESTED THE GIRL?

THERE WAS A UNIFORMED POLICE OFFICER HERE,

AND HE TOOK THE GIRL AWAY.

ARE YOU SURE?

BUT HPD HAD NO ONE ASSIGNED TO THAT AREA,

AND THERE WAS NO REPORT OF A SHOOTING OR ANY DISTURBANCE

FROM ANY MAN ON THE FORCE.

WE CHECKED EVERY MORGUE AND HOSPITAL IN HONOLULU, STEVE.

THERE HASN'T BEEN A SHOOTING VICTIM REPORTED IN 24 HOURS.

WE CAN'T FIND ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY WITNESSED THE SHOOTING.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HEARD SHOTS,

BUT HPD CAN'T TURN UP A BODY ANYPLACE.

WHAT DO WE GOT, CHE?

DRACULA BLOOD.

DRACULA BLOOD?

THOSE BLOOD STAINS CAME FROM A TUBE

USED BY KIDS AROUND HALLOWEEN.

IT'S CALLED DRACULA BLOOD.

IT'S JUST VEGETABLE COLORING IN A VANISHING-CREME BASE.

STEVE, MR. AND MRS. GEORGE HELLER

IN ROOM 1007 AT THE ROYAL HAWAIIAN HOTEL.

LET'S GO, DANNO.

I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'VE TOLD US, MR. HELLER.

THE PROBLEM IS WE CAN'T FIND ANYONE WHO'S BEEN MURDERED.

BUT THEY SHOT AT EACH OTHER!

I SAW GUNS. I HEARD SHOTS.

I SAW THE OTHER MAN FALL DOWN.

WELL, OTHER PEOPLE HEARD THE SHOTS, TOO. ASK THEM.

BLANKS.

I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU SOMETHING FIRST.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH THIS MR. MADRID

AND THE, UH, YOUNG LADY?

TELL THEM, GEORGE.

WE WERE SELLING SOMETHING.

DIAMONDS.

DIAMONDS? WHOSE DIAMONDS?

A FRIEND OF MR. MADRID'S.

WE WERE GOING TO BUY THEM FOR $100,000 AND THEN...

THEN SELL THEM FOR $200,000.

HOW MUCH DID YOU GIVE THEM, MR. HELLER,

TO BUY THESE DIAMONDS?

GEORGE!

$30,000.

$35,000.

TELL THEM THE TRUTH, GEORGE!

$35,000.

HE TELEPHONED HIS BROKER. HE SOLD STOCKS.

HE CALLED HIS BANK.

HE WITHDREW THREE SAVINGS CERTIFICATES.

HE EVEN PAID THE PENALTIES FOR EARLY WITHDRAWAL.

DID YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?

NO. NOT UNTIL HE TOLD ME THIS AFTERNOON.

YOU'VE BEEN TAKEN, MR. HELLER,

BY A HIGH-CLASS BUNCO OPERATION.

NOW, I'D LIKE YOU TO COME BACK TO THE OFFICE WITH US.

WE'LL NEED THE WHOLE STORY FROM THE BEGINNING,

AND I WANT TO GET DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED.

COME ON, GEORGE.

HEY, MARDO, YOU LOOKED GOOD WHEN YOU WAS LYING IN THE GARBAGE.

THANK YOU, COP.

HEY-HEY, HEY-HEY! HEY-HEY!

GENTLEMEN, THE DUCHESS HAS BATHED, DONE HER NAILS,

AND AWAITS YET ANOTHER INVITATION TO THE BALL.

MAN, I'VE BEEN AROUND CON MEN HALF MY LIFE,

BUT YOU'RE THE FIRST DUDE I KNOW

WHO TALKS LIKE A CON MAN TO OTHER CON MEN.

SURPRISE, MARDO.

YOU ONLY THINK YOU'VE BEEN AROUND CON MEN.

NOW YOU ARE AROUND CON MEN, BECAUSE JOE CONNORS IS IN TOWN.

HEY, HE SURE IS.

COME HERE, BABY.

LOOK AT 'EM DOWN THERE,

WITH THEIR BELLIES AND THEIR FUNNY SHIRTS

AND THOSE FAT WADS OF BILLS IN THEIR POCKETS

AND THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS AND STOCK PORTFOLIOS AT HOME.

PIGEONS -- THOUSANDS OF PIGEONS

WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS JUST WAITING TO BE TAKEN.

MECCA, SWEETHEART.

MECCA.

WELL, THANK YOU, FOLKS. WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING WE NEED.

WE WON'T KEEP YOU ANY LONGER.

YOU'LL WANT US TO STICK AROUND HAWAII, THOUGH, WON'T YOU?

I CAN'T SEE ANY REASON FOR THAT. YOU CAN GO BACK HOME.

BUT WON'T YOU NEED MY TESTIMONY?

WHAT TESTIMONY, MR. HELLER?

AT THE TRIAL.

WELL, WE HAVEN'T ARRESTED ANYONE YET.

AND WHAT EXACTLY WOULD YOUR TESTIMONY BE?

THAT YOU GAVE A SUM OF MONEY IN CASH

TO SOMEONE FOR SOME DIAMONDS,

AND THEN THE DIAMONDS DISAPPEARED?

YOU SEE, AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS CON GAME

IS LEAVING THE VICTIM WITH NO PROOF ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED.

NOW, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR OFFER OF HELP,

BUT THE ONLY WAY WE CAN NAIL A BUNCO OPERATION

IS TO CATCH THEM RIGHT IN THE ACT.

IF WE APPREHEND THEM AND WE RECOVER ANY CASH,

WE'LL BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU.

COME ON, GEORGE.

MAKE ME A TRANSCRIPT OF THAT, TERRI, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN, WHAT DO WE KNOW?

WE KNOW THERE'S AT LEAST FOUR OF THEM, INCLUDING THE GIRL --

THAT THEY'RE WORKING THE OLD PHONY-DIAMOND SCAM

WITH A COUPLE OF UP-TO-DATE INNOVATIONS,

AND THEY'RE WORKING IT UP AND DOWN

ONE OF THE RICHEST STRETCHES OF BEACH IN THE WORLD.

NOW, WHO ARE THEY, WHERE DID THEY COME FROM,

AND WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE HEAD MAN?

NO ONE ON THE STREET KNOWS WHO THEY ARE, STEVE.

I WOULD SAY THAT THEY WERE NEW TO THE ISLANDS.

NONE OF MY CONTACTS EVER HEARD OF A PLAY

OPERATING WITH THIS MUCH CLASS.

GENTLEMEN, THIS STATE OPERATES ON TOURISM.

IT'S A BILLION-DOLLAR INDUSTRY.

WE'RE NOT BEING VERY GOOD HOSTS

IF WE DON'T KEEP THOSE RIP-OFF ARTISTS AWAY FROM OUR GUESTS.

CHIN, THE DESCRIPTIONS HELLER GAVE US --

PUT THEM ON THE TELETYPE TO THE MAINLAND.

I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE'S A BIG-TIME BUNCO OPERATOR

WHO IS NOT ON HIS HOME TERRITORY RIGHT NOW.

GOT IT.

BEN, MAKE SURE THE HELLERS GET WITH THE HPD POLICE ARTIST.

I NEED A SKETCH OF THE GIRL AND THE MAN.

RIGHT AWAY, STEVE.

WHAT ABOUT THE CAR, STEVE?

SOMEBODY SPOTTED THEM IN A GRAY COUPE.

10 TO 1, IT'S A RENTED AUTOMOBILE, DANNO,

AND UNDER A PHONY NAME, BUT CHECK THE AGENCIES ANYWAY.

SOMEWHERE OUT THERE, THERE'S A WELL-HEELED,

MIDDLE-AGED, MARRIED SUCKER BEING SET UP RIGHT NOW.

-HI. -HI.

THANK YOU, SIR.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WHERE'S YOUR UNCLE'S WORKSHOP?

ABOUT 10 OR 15 MINUTES.

IS THAT ALL?

I, UH, I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA TAKE LONGER.

[ CHUCKLES ]

OH. BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

OH, NUTS!

WELL, I UNDERSTAND.

YOUR UNCLE'S GONE FISHING.

I BROUGHT YOU ALL THE WAY OUT HERE FOR NOTHING.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I'VE SPENT ALL OF MY LIFE

IN THE FURNITURE BUSINESS,

BUT, UH, TABLE LEGS DON'T APPEAL TO ME ON A DAY LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW A PLACE AROUND HERE

WHERE A COUPLE OF FRIENDS COULD HAVE A DRINK?

WELL, THERE IS A NEAT PLACE BACK IN HONOLULU I KNOW ABOUT.

IT'S KIND OF IN. NO TOURISTS.

WELL, LET'S GET ON TO HONOLULU.

UH, EXCUSE ME.

DID I HEAR YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO HONOLULU?

MAYBE YOU DID, FRIEND,

BUT IF YOU'RE THINKING OF HITCHING A RIDE WITH US...

WELL, UH...THIS GUY WAS SUPPOSED TO PICK ME UP OVER AN HOUR AGO,

AND, UH, I GOTTA GET TO TOWN.

I THINK MAYBE SOMETHING'S HAPPENED TO HIM.

HOW ABOUT A BUS?

THEY ONLY RUN EVERY TWO HOURS.

WELL, A DIME AND A DIALING FINGER

WILL GET HIM A CAB IN TWO MINUTES.

WELL, UH, THE TRUTH IS I JUST USED MY LAST DIME.

IT'S UP TO YOU.

-MA'AM? -HOP IN.

HEY, THANKS.

THAT'S IT. THAT LOOKS LIKE HIM.

ALL RIGHT. NOW THE GIRL.

WELL, THE GIRL, UH...

...SHE WAS A BLONDE.

HEY! HEY, THAT'S GERRY.

THAT'S THE GUY THAT'S SUPPOSED TO PICK ME UP.

HEY, WILL YOU STOP, PLEASE?

HEY, HEY! GERRY!

GERRY, IT'S ME -- WILLIE!

HEY, HEY! WILLIE!

HEY, HOW ARE YA?

NOW YOU KNOW WHY I WAS LATE, HUH?

I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO HITCHHIKE HOME.

HEY, CAN YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS GIVE ME A LIFT?

I JUST MET THEM MYSELF. THEY'RE GIVING ME A LIFT.

ROOM FOR ONE MORE?

THANKS.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WHERE YOU BEEN THIS PAST YEAR, BUDDY?

WOULD YOU BELIEVE I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS GUY IN A YEAR?

IS THAT A FACT?

JUST GOT BACK FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

IN FACT, YOU'RE THE FIRST GUY I CALLED.

UH-HUH.

HEY, WHAT'S THAT MEAN -- "UH-HUH"?

IT MEANS, "UH-HUH, YOU'RE BROKE."

EVERY TIME HE GETS DOWN TO HIS LAST DIME,

HE USES IT TO CALL ME.

YOU HAVE TO FEED THIS GUY MONEY LIKE A PARKING METER.

OKAY, WILLIE. HOW MUCH YOU NEED THIS TIME?

-$500. -$500?!

WHAT DO YOU NEED $500 FOR?

TO GET ME TO NEW YORK. GERRY, I PROMISE --

48 HOURS AFTER I GET THERE, I'LL CABLE IT BACK TO YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, ROB A BANK?

[ Chuckling ] NO, NO, NO.

SEE, THERE'S THIS GUY I MET IN ARGENTINA.

HE'S ARRANGING A SALE FOR ME, AND ONCE THE DEAL IS MADE,

I'LL SEND IT RIGHT BACK TO YOU.

NOW, COME ON, WILLIE. DON'T TRY TO CON ME.

IF YOU'RE GONNA GET INTO ME FOR $500,

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SELLING.

OKAY.

THIS.

HEY, WHAT'D YOU DO, BREAK INTO THE DIAMOND EXCHANGE?

A MUG SHOT FROM THE NEW ORLEANS POLICE DEPARTMENT JUST GOT IN.

YEP.

SAME MAN, ALL RIGHT. WHO IS HE?

JOE CONNORS.

DID TIME FOR BUNCO IN LOUISIANA.

BEEN OUT OF THE SLAMMER ABOUT SIX MONTHS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A VERY INTERESTING M.O.

WELL, INTEREST ME, CHIN.

HE USES A GIRL ROPER.

THEY WORK TOGETHER, MOVING FROM SPOT TO SPOT,

PICKING UP LOCAL MIDDLEMEN AS THEY NEED THEM.

THE MARKS ARE MOSTLY MIDDLE-CLASS, MIDDLE-AGED,

MIDDLE WEST WITH FAT BANKROLLS AND ROVING EYES.

THAT'S WHERE THE GIRL COMES IN.

THE MARK THINKS HE PICKED HER UP.

THEY'RE ALL MARRIED,

AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE RELUCTANT TO YELL FOR THE COPS.

AFRAID TO TELL MAMA.

OLDEST SCAM IN THE WORLD UPDATED.

JOE CONNORS SERVED A HITCH IN THE ARMY HERE.

HE LEFT O'AHU AFTER HIS DISCHARGE ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO.

SO, HE KNOWS THE TERRITORY.

AND HE PROBABLY KNOWS WHERE TO WHISTLE UP A TEAM.

AND HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT THE HUNDRED GOLDEN BLOCKS OF WAIKIKI

AND THE 50 FAT BANKROLLS FOR EVERY BLOCK.

AND HE'S SMART. HE'S SMART.

OKAY. LET'S CONCENTRATE ON THE GIRL.

SHE'S THE ROPER. SHE'S THE ONE WHO CIRCULATES.

AND ONE MORE THING, GENTLEMEN --

THIS TIME WE'RE CHASING BRAINS.

WE'VE GOT TO USE OUR OWN WHILE WE'RE ABOUT IT.

THIS TIME WE'RE HUNTING QUAIL.

SO, LET'S NOT TIPTOE. ALL THE WAY.

STEP ON ONE TWIG AND "WHEW!" THEY'RE AIRBORNE.

BEN, HAVE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED OF THOSE SKETCHES RUN OFF.

I WANT ONE IN EVERY HOTEL,

EVERY BAR, SHOP, POLICE CAR IN WAIKIKI.

NOW, I KNOW THIS ONE IS WORTH AT LEAST 3 GRAND.

LOOK, GERRY, WHY DON'T YOU HOLD ON TO THIS

UNTIL I PAY YOU BACK YOUR $500?

WELL, THAT'S CERTAINLY FAIR.

WILLIE, I'VE KNOWN YOU A LONG TIME.

I KNOW YOUR FATHER. I KNOW YOUR MOTHER.

I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T TRY TO CHEAT ME...

IN FRONT OF TWO WITNESSES.

IT'S A DEAL.

I'M TELLING YOU, THIS GUY IS SOMETHING ELSE, YOU KNOW THAT?

GERRY, YOU'RE THE GREATEST.

THAT REMARK SHOWS GREAT PERCEPTION.

LOOK, GERRY, I PROMISE --

IN 48 HOURS, YOU GET THIS BACK.

WORD OF HONOR.

FORGET IT. I GOT A $3,000 DIAMOND IN MY POCKET.

HERE.

YEAH.

WELL, THANKS A LOT FOR THE RIDE, MA'AM.

NICE MEETING YOU, SIR.

-GOOD LUCK ON THE DEAL. -HAVE A NICE TRIP.

THANK YOU.

WELL, LOOK, FRIEND, UH...

YOU THINK YOU COULD FIND A PHONE BOOTH NEAR HERE TO...

HEY, YOU GOT YOURSELF A REAL BEAUTY THERE.

I'M NO EXPERT, BUT I KNOW A DIAMOND WHEN I SEE ONE.

ARE YOU SURE? I'M BEGINNING TO WORRY.

WILLIE'S A NICE BOY, BUT HE HAS A TOUCH OF LARCENY IN HIS SOUL.

I WONDER IF YOU COULD DO ME ONE MORE FAVOR.

I'VE GOT A FRIEND. HE WORKS AT WICKERSHAM JEWELERS.

THAT'S ON COOKE STREET.

[ SIGHS ]

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

WHERE'D YOU GET THIS STONE, GERRY?

IS IT WORTH $3,000?

IT'S WORTH A LOT MORE. WHERE'D YOU GET IT?

THAT'S WHERE HE GOT IT.

OH, WOW.

THE POOR GUYS LEFT HIS DIAMONDS.

OH, NO. HE'S PROBABLY CLIMBING THE WALL.

MAY I SEE THOSE, PLEASE?

WELL, I SUPPOSE YOU CAN LOOK.

AND YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY WHERE THEY CAME FROM?

I DON'T KNOWWHERE THEY CAME FROM.

WELL, I'M PRETTY SURE WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

THIS IS THE PARKHAM COLLECTION.

JUST A GUESS, BUT IF I'M RIGHT, IT'S WORTH ABOUT 200 THOU.

IT'S ALSO HOT.

LOOK, HOW ABOUT CLOSING THAT LID, HUH?

GERRY, WHERE'D YOU GET THIS STUFF?

FORGET IT. HEY, I THINK WE --

NO, WAIT A MINUTE.

I'VE GOT A CUSTOMER FOR THESE ROCKS RIGHT NOW.

BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I CAN'T --

WAIT A SECOND. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

HANG ON.

YOU CAN'T SELL THEM. THEY'RE NOT YOURS.

I KNOW THAT.

THEY'RE NOT YOUR PAL WILLIE'S, EITHER, IF THEY'RE HOT.

WELL, WE'VE ONLY GOT MARK'S WORD FOR THAT.

WELL, I THOUGHT HE WAS YOUR FRIEND.

YEAH. YEAH, IT'S TRUE.

GERRY, I'M AUTHORIZED TO OFFER YOU $200,000

FOR THAT COLLECTION RIGHT NOW.

COLD CASH, CERTIFIED CHECK -- ANY WAY YOU WANT IT.

AND NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

BUT THE DIAMONDS AREN'T MINE.

YOU GOT A BETTER OFFER SOMEWHERE?

THEY'RE A FRIEND'S. I DON'T HAVE ANY OFFER.

YOUR FRIEND GOT A BETTER OFFER?

WELL, WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IT.

BETTER THAN 200 THOU?

LOOK, I SAID I DON'T KNOW.

'CAUSE THAT'S TOPS. WHERE'S HE PLANNING TO SELL?

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK? YOU THINK THEY'LL TOUCH THAT STUFF IN NEW YORK?

WELL, THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.

LOOK, MARK, I TELL YOU WHAT.

I'LL FIND OUT WHAT HE WANTS, OKAY?

AND MAYBE HE'LL JUST AS SOON DEAL WITH YOU.

I'LL GET BACK TO YOU.

SURE. FINE, GERRY.

BUT REMEMBER -- MY MAN WON'T WAIT VERY LONG.

WELL, I'LL HUNT HIM DOWN RIGHT AWAY.

I'LL WAIT FOR YOUR CALL.

WE BETTER GET BACK TO THE BANK, HUH?

GERRY!

DID YOU FORGET SOMETHING?

-OH, MAN. -[ LAUGHS ]

MISS, WOULD YOU KNOW OF A NICE, QUIET PLACE

WHERE WE COULD HAVE A LITTLE TALK?

[ HORN HONKS ]

YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE CAR, STEVE -- A RENTAL JOB.

THE DRIVER'S LICENSE HE USED FOR IDENTIFICATION WAS A PHONY.

HE TURNED THE CAR BACK IN AFTER THEY RIPPED OFF HELLER.

A SLICK OPERATION.

STEVE, I'VE GOT A MAKE ON THE GIRL IN FOUR DIFFERENT PLACES --

ON THE BEACH, IN THE HOTELS, ON THE PROWL.

OKAY, SHE'S THE SPOTTER, THEN.

FIND HER AND DOG HER, AND SHE'LL LEAD US TO THE REST.

WE'VE GOT TO CATCH THEM

WITH THEIR HANDS IN THE VICTIM'S POCKET.

RIGHT.

IF YOU CAN GET IT HERE, WHY BOTHER MAKING THE TRIP?

WHO SAYS I CAN GET IT HERE?

UH, NOBODY, BUT AFTER YOU TELL ME WHAT IT IS, SOMEBODY MIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

IT'S 200 GRAND IN NEW YORK, BUT I ONLY GET HALF.

THE OTHER HALF GOES TO THE GUY WHO'S SETTING IT UP.

THE BEST DEAL I COULD MAKE.

YOU JUST MADE $100,000, WILLIE.

YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO TAKE THE BUS TO THE AIRPORT.

AW, COME ON, GERRY. WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WILLIE, I HAVE AN OFFER OF $100,000,

AND I CAN HAVE THE MONEY TO YOU IN A FEW DAYS.

AN OFFER FROM WHO?

MY GENEROUS, YOUNG FRIEND --

I'M TRYING TO SAVE HIM PLANE FARE TO NEW YORK,

AND HE WANTS TO CUT ME OUT OF MY COMMISSION.

WELL, LOOK, IF THE DEAL'S ONLY 100 GRAND,

WHERE'S YOUR COMMISSION COMING FROM?

FROM THE SELLER'S PROFIT.

IT'S NOT GONNA COST YOU A DIME.

WILLIE, THINK ABOUT IT.

HERE.

TAKE YOUR GEAR AND YOUR DIAMONDS.

GO TO SOME NICE, SAFE HOTEL.

TAKE A SWIM, A SHOWER,

HAVE A NICE DINNER, A NICE SLEEP.

CALL ME TOMORROW, AND, BY THEN,

YOU CAN TELL ME WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD MAKE THE DEAL.

NOW, HOW ABOUT THAT?

-OKAY. -OKAY.

LIKE YOU SAY, I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

CALL YOU TOMORROW.

MA'AM.

BYE.

MISTER.

BYE.

YOU, UH, YOU SAID THE OFFER WAS FOR $100,000.

HEY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE NEVER EVEN INTRODUCED OURSELVES.

GERRY SPAIN.

HARRY MAGUIRE.

THIS IS MISS MOORE.

-HOW DO YOU DO? -NICE TO MEET YOU.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

-YOU SAID $100,000. -I KNOW.

YOUR FRIEND IN THE JEWELRY STORE SAID $200,000.

THAT'S RIGHT.

NOW, IF I ONLY KNEW HOW TO RAISE $100,000,

I COULD BUY THOSE DIAMONDS FROM WILLIE,

SELL THEM TO JOHNNY, AND MAKE $100,000 PROFIT.

I MIGHT BE ABLE TO RAISE PARTOF IT.

$35,000, MAYBE.

MAYBE MY UNCLE COULD LOAN ME SOME MONEY.

SAY, $15,000?

OH, BUT WE'D STILL NEED ANOTHER $50,000.

WHERE DO YOU GO TO GET MONEY LIKE THAT?

OH, WELL.

I GUESS WILLIE'S GONNA HAVE TO TAKE THAT TRIP

TO NEW YORK AFTER ALL.

ANYWAY, THANKS FOR THE LIFT, FRIENDS.

THE DRINKS ARE ON ME.

-BYE. -BYE.

UH...WAIT A MINUTE.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

SURE. SHE'S BEEN HERE A LOT.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHO SHE WAS WITH?

A MAN? SOMEBODY STAYING IN THIS HOTEL?

YEAH. A SHOWOFF.

TIPS ME A BUCK FOR A 3-BUCK DRINK.

IF HIS WIFE HAD BEEN WITH HIM, I'D HAVE GOT NOTHING.

-KNOW HIS NAME? -NAH.

-WHAT'S HE LOOK LIKE? -LIKE A TOURIST.

HEY, DON'T LAY THAT TOURIST LINE ON ME.

YOU GUYS ARE TRAINED TO RECOGNIZE YOUR CUSTOMERS.

NOW, COOPERATE WITH THE AUTHORITIES,

OR THE WORD WILL GET AROUND

THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN POOLING YOUR TIPS.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

McGARRETT.

YEAH, BEN.

STEVE, I THINK THE GIRL HAS FOUND A MARK.

HE'S STAYING HERE AT THE ILIKAI HOTEL.

HAVE YOU GOT A DESCRIPTION?

Yeah, he's 5'11", well-built, brown hair,

AND DRESSES LIKE A DUDE.

JUST WHAT JOE CONNORS ORDERED.

I COULD START A ROOM-TO-ROOM WITH THE GIRL'S SKETCH,

BUT THERE'S 1,800 ROOMS HERE.

I'LL SEND YOU SOME HELP. YOU CAN CONTACT THE MANAGER.

AND START WEEDING OUT THE OBVIOUS ONES RIGHT NOW.

OKAY, STEVE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

OH, UH, I'LL GET IT, NATALIE, SWEETHEART.

HELLO?

OH, THANKS.

CHRIS?

YES. IT'S ME -- HARRY.

NO, NO, NO, NO. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG.

IT'S JUST THAT --

LISTEN, CHRIS.

I REALLY STUMBLED ON SOMETHING REALLY GREAT.

IT'S AN HONEST-TO-GOODNESS STEAL.

SURE, IT'S FURNITURE. OF COURSE.

MAHOGANY.

NOW, YOU'D HAVE TO SEE THE WAY HE USES THAT GRAIN,

OR YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

NOW, LISTEN -- SLOANE'S IS INTERESTED,

BUT I THINK I'VE GOT THE INSIDE TRACK WITH A GUY WHO MAKES IT.

THE ONLY THING IS, CHRIS, I GOT TO NAIL IT DOWN FAST.

YES, CHRIS.

I REMEMBER THE MAPLE LINE I BOUGHT.

HOW CAN I EVER FORGET IT? YOU KEEP REMINDING ME.

NATALIE KEEPS REMINDING ME, BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT.

AND MY WORD OF HONOR, CHRIS.

NOW, IF THIS TURNS OUT TO BE A DUD,

I'LL BUY BACK EVERY PIECE PERSONALLY.

NOW THAT'S HOW SURE I AM.

$50,000.

$50,000!

I SAID I NEED $50,000, CHRIS.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT I NEED TO LOCK IT UP.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

I'VE GOT IT.

50 GRAND.

WELL, IS IT STILL ON?

DID YOU TWO RAISE YOUR SHARES?

WHAT'S WRONG?

OH, I JUST COULDN'T MAKE IT, HARRY.

I'VE ONLY GOT $10,000.

THAT'S ALL MY UNCLE WOULD LEND ME.

OH.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT YOU?

$25,000 -- THE WELL DRIED UP.

$50,000...$10,000...

$25,000.

WE'RE $15,000 SHORT.

AND WILLIE WON'T WAIT.

NO, IT'S NO GOOD. WE MIGHT AS WELL JUST FORGET IT.

NO, NO, NO. HOLD IT.

NOW, CAN YOU STALL HIM?

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT FOR.

TO GET ME TIME TO RAISE ANOTHER $15,000.

-CAN YOU? -I CAN TRY.

I'LL CALL MY BROTHER-IN-LAW.

NOW, CAN YOU GET WILLIE TO WAIT?

HOW LONG?

A FEW HOURS.

I CAN ASK.

THEN TRY.

I'LL GET ON THE PHONE RIGHT AWAY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU KNOW, IF HE WAS STAYING IN TOWN ANOTHER WEEK,

WE'D OWN A FURNITURE STORE IN GRAND RAPIDS.

[ BOTH CHUCKLE ]

ON THE BASIS OF YOUR DESCRIPTION, GENTLEMEN,

I'D SAY AN Y NE OF THESE MIGHT BE THE MAN YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

NOW, THE HOTEL APPRECIATES WHAT YOU'RE DOING, GENTLEMEN.

I JUST HOPE YOU DON'T SAY ANYTHING OR DO ANYTHING

THAT MIGHT ALARM OUR OTHER GUESTS.

WE'LL TALK SOFTLY.

THANK YOU.

AND?

WELL, MY BROTHER-IN-LAW CAME THROUGH LIKE A DREAM.

A LITTLE BIT OF A NIGHTMARE, MAYBE, BUT STILL A DREAM.

$65,000.

YOU BETTER COUNT IT TO MAKE SURE.

HERE -- IT'S FOR YOU. YOU COUNT IT.

EH, LET THE BANK COUNT IT.

I'M A VERY TRUSTING FELLA.

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER $35,000?

A VERY TRUSTING FELLOW, HUH?

HERE.

HERE'S MINE.

UH, YOU BETTER CHECK THAT.

I MAY HAVE PULLED A SWITCH ON YOU.

OH, FORGET IT. WE'RE VERY TRUSTING OURSELVES.

BESIDES, WE GAVE YOU PHONY BILLS.

YOU...

WELL...

THANKS A MILLION, EVERYBODY.

OR SHOULD I SAY 100 THOU?

JERRY, OLD BUDDY, NEXT TIME I'M IN TOWN,

I'LL GIVE YOU A BUZZ.

SURE, WITH YOUR LAST DIME,

WHICH I'M CERTAIN YOU'RE GONNA BE DOWN TO IN ABOUT SIX MONTHS.

GIVE MY REGARDS TO YOUR MOTHER, HUH?

IT'S A DEAL. ALOHA, PALS.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU OUGHT TO CALL YOUR FRIEND

AT THE JEWELRY STORE?

YEAH. LET'S FIND A PHONE.

SORRY TO HAVE BOTHERED YOU, SIR.

FOUR DOWN.

TWO TO GO.

HE'S GONE TO LUNCH, WHICH, I THINK,

IS THE SMARTEST IDEA FOR US

WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR HIM TO COME BACK.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, HUH?

SOMETHING EXPENSIVE? CHAMPAGNE?

-OKAY, HARRY? -OKAY.

BUT, UH, YOU'RE GETTING ME A LITTLE NERVOUS.

YOU'RE CARRYING IT AROUND LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY'S NEWSPAPER.

NO PROBLEM. KEYS, PLEASE.

LET'S GO.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

WHY WOULD EITHER OF US KNOW WHO SHE IS?

IT'S JUST A ROUTINE INVESTIGATION, MRS. MAGUIRE.

THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO BE SATISFIED WITH A ROUTINE ANSWER --

NO.

MAY WE TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND?

HE'S NOT HERE.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?

NO. BUT I KNOW MY HUSBAND DOESN'T KNOW TRAMPS LIKE THAT.

DID WE SAY SHE WAS A TRAMP?

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO IF YOU'D SEEN HER HANGING AROUND THE POOL

IN A COUPLE OF COCKTAIL NAPKINS AND MAKING EYES AT EVERY...

MRS. MAGUIRE... MAY WE PLEASE TALK TO YOU?

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

IT'S AFTER LUNCH. HE SHOULD BE THERE NOW.

YEAH. I'LL CALL HIM.

THE PHONE'S AROUND THE CORNER.

ANYBODY GOT A DIME?

JUST A MINUTE.

HERE.

THANKS.

YOUR SHARE OF THE SALE IS NOW $130,000.10.

FORGET IT. THE PHONE CALL'S ON ME.

VERY GENEROUS, HUH?

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

WOULD YOU BELIEVE TO POWDER MY NOSE?

DON'T GO AWAY.

DON'T WORRY.

JUST DON'T YOUGO AWAY.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

THERE ARE THE CAR KEYS.

NOW, LOOK, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT I DON'T --

SWEETIE, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I TRUST YOU.

BE RIGHT BACK.

[ SIGHS ]

THE OTHER GENTLEMAN SAID YOU'D TAKE CARE OF THIS.

HE HAD TO LEAVE.

-HE WHAT? -HE HAD TO LEAVE.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

-STEVE? -YEAH.

MRS. MAGUIRE KNOWS ALL ABOUT THAT GIRL,

ONLY SHE DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT IT.

WHEN YOU THINK YOUR HUSBAND'S GOT SOMETHING GOING WITH A CHICK

AND THEN YOU FIND OUT HE'S BEING TAKEN AS WELL,

YOU CAN GET PRETTY LOUD INSISTING IT'S NOT HAPPENING.

YEAH.

IF THEY HAVEN'T RIPPED HIM OFF YET,

MAYBE WE COULD HELP THOSE PEOPLE.

COME ON, LET'S HAVE A TALK WITH HARRY MAGUIRE.

THE POLICE WERE HERE.

THEY SHOWED ME A SKETCH OF THAT TRAMP,

AND THEY TOLD ME WHAT SHE DOES.

WHAT DID YOU GET TAKEN FOR, HARRY?!

HOW MUCH DID THEY SWINDLE YOU OUT OF?

[ SIRENS WAILING ]

WHAT DO WE GOT?

A JUMPER, MR. McGARRETT. 15th FLOOR.

IS HIS NAME HARRY MAGUIRE?

HOW'D YOU KNOW?

HE JUMPED.

THE CREEP ACTUALLY JUMPED.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU KNOW, I WAS 18 YEARS OLD WHEN I RAN MY FIRST CON --

LESS THAN HALF A MILE FROM THIS APARTMENT BUILDING.

IF I HAD TO GO INTO COURT TOMORROW AND SWEAR UNDER OATH

HOW MANY SUCKERS I'VE TAKEN SINCE THEN

AND IN HOW MANY STATES,

I'D HAVE TO GO TO JAIL FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO REMEMBER.

BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ANYBODY EVER DID THIS TO ME.

AND WHAT DID WE TAKE HIM FOR, $65,000?

PEANUTS.

CINDY, YOU KNEW HIM BETTER THAN I DID.

WHAT ABOUT THE GUY? WAS HE UNSTABLE OR SOMETHING?

IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

MUST'VE CUT TOO DEEP.

$65,000? THE GUY HAD A FANCY FURNITURE STORE IN GRAND RAPIDS.

YOU HEARD CINDY'S RUNDOWN ON HIM.

RUNNING TO THE COPS -- SURE, YOU EXPECT THAT.

BUT JUMPING OUT OF WINDOWS?

YOU KNOW, THIS GUY HAD TO BE SOME KIND OF NUT.

YEAH, BUT WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US, JOE?

THIS KIND OF THING COULD HEAT UP THE WHOLE TOWN.

THERE'S ANOTHER THING -- THE WHOLE PLAY IN THIS TOWN

HAS BEEN BASED ON TWO OBJECTIVES -- MAKE A PILE FAST

AND GET OUT BEFORE McGARRETT GETS A BEAD ON US.

THAT'S A VERY SMART COP, I'M TOLD.

I WANT TO BE WAY AWAY FROM HERE BEFORE HIS RADAR PICKS ME UP.

AND THIS JERK HAS TO JUMP.

HOW YOU GONNA KEEP McGARRETT OFF YOUR BACK

WITH MARKS JUMPING OUT OF WINDOWS ON YOU?

YOU THINK WE OUGHT TO PACK IT UP, JOE?

SWEETHEART, THAT'S LIKE GIVING UP AN INHERITANCE.

NOW, IF McGARRETT'S AS SMART AS EVERYBODY SAYS HE IS,

HE'S RUN A MAKE ON ME BY NOW.

BUT HE'LL BE THINKING, "IF CONNORS IS SMART,

HE'LL BE ON THE FIRST PLANE OUT OF HERE."

SO THAT GIVES US TIME FOR MAYBE JUST ONE MORE --

A PLUMP ONE, A QUICKIE, IN AND OUT.

GETAWAY MONEY WHILE McGARRETT'S WATCHING THE AIRPORT.

OKAY? ONE MORE?

ONE MORE.

START WIGGLING, BABY. GET US A FAT ONE.

ONLY THIS TIME, DON'T PICK A SORE LOSER, OKAY?

OKAY.

STEVE, SHE FOUND A MARK.

HIS NAME'S ANDERSON.

He's here with a convention of meat-packers.

He's got reservations through the 18th.

He's alone and ready.

OKAY, DANNO.

LET'S SEE. TODAY HE TAKES THE RIDE.

HE SEES THE PHONY DIAMONDS, AND HE HEARS THE PHONY APPRAISAL.

NOW, IF THEY'RE USING THE SAME M.O. ON HIM

THAT THEY USED ON HELLER AND MAGUIRE,

tomorrow he'll be calling for money.

He'll have it by the 16th.

THEN HE'LL CALL FOR MORE.

THAT BRINGS US TO THE 18th.

WHAT TIME IS HIS PLANE LEAVING ON THE 18th?

3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON.

JUST LIKE THE OTHER TWO, ALL THE WAY DOWN THE LINE.

OKAY, DANNO.

JUST STAY WITH HIM.

RIGHT.

I WANT TO CALL A FRIEND.

YOU WON'T LET ANYBODY STEAL IT, WILL YOU?

NO, MA'AM.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME, SIR.

EXCUSE ME, MA'AM.

DO YOU KNOW YOUR TIRE IS LOW?

NO, I DIDN'T.

EXCUSE ME.

YOU AND YOUR FRIEND ARE BEING TAILED.

I THOUGHT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW.

WHY?

JUST RETURNING A FAVOR.

THANKS.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

-ANY PROBLEMS? -NOT A ONE.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

I'M SEA VIEW AMBER'S RESTAURANT --

WAUNA ROAD AND THIRD.

I THINK THIS IS THE PAYOFF.

TWO FOR LUNCH?

WE'RE MEETING A MR. PALMER. HAS HE COME IN YET?

YES, YES. WILL YOU FOLLOW ME, PLEASE?

I'LL BE WITH YOU IN A MINUTE.

-SURE. -THIS WAY.

MR. ANDERSON. GOOD TO SEE YOU.

-SIT DOWN. -THANK YOU.

WHERE'S MISS MOORE?

SHE SAID SHE'D BE RIGHT IN.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR FRIEND WILLIE?

I'M EXPECTING TO HEAR FROM HIM ANY MINUTE.

I TAKE IT YOU WERE ABLE TO, UH...

$45,000.

WELL...

THEY'RE IN THERE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

SEA VIEW AMBER.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MAY I HELP YOU?

Yes, is there a Mr. Palmer there?

MR. PALMER?

YES, HE IS. ONE MINUTE, PLEASE.

-FOR ME? -YES, SIR.

THANK YOU.

EXCUSE ME.

HELLO?

YOU'RE TAKING THAT WITH YOU?

YEAH. I GOT MY LUNCH IN IT.

THANKS.

I'LL SEE YOU BACK AT THE APARTMENT.

WILLIE. DON'T GO IN THERE.

WHY CAN'T WE GO IN THERE?

-UH, LET'S GO. COME ON. -OKAY.

-WHAT'S WRONG? -THE DEAL'S OFF.

BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL ARRANGED.

WHAT HAPPENED?

HE UPPED THE ANTE ON US. HE WANTS ANOTHER $20,000.

I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY.

BESIDES, I DON'T DO BUSINESS THAT WAY.

I'M SORRY, MR. ANDERSON. IT'S NO SALE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

NOTHING. SOMETHING WENT WRONG.

NO PAYOFF. LET'S CALL STEVE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

McGARRETT. YEAH, DANNO?

WHAT?

WHERE'S ANDERSON?

HE'S STILL THERE?

ALL RIGHT. WAIT FOR ME.

I'LL BE WITH YOU IN FIVE MINUTES.

I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS -- ALL OF YOU.

IF CINDY AND ME DECIDE TO SET UP ANOTHER SCAM ON THE ISLANDS,

BELIEVE ME, WE'RE GONNA CALL YOU.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

WHO IS IT?

ALEX ANDERSON.

MR. ANDERSON. WHAT IS IT?

I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO LEAVE.

I JUST RAISED THE EXTRA $20,000.

YOU WHAT?

THERE IT IS. $65,000 ALTOGETHER.

CAN YOU GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FRIEND WILLIE?

HE HASN'T GONE TO NEW YORK YET, HAS HE?

MR. ANDERSON, YOU'VE JUST MADE ME AN OFFER

IT WOULD TAKE AN ANGEL TO REFUSE.

I'LL CALL HIM RIGHT AWAY.

DON'T BOTHER, CONNORS.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. OKAY, BOYS.

WHO ARE YOU?

WHAT IS ALL THIS?

McGARRETT.

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

OH, YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

YOU JUST RECEIVED $65,000 FRAUDULENTLY FROM MR. ANDERSON.

AND HOW ARE YOU GONNA PROVE THAT?

IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY,

YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE RED MARK ON THOSE BILLS

RIGHT ABOVE WHERE IT SAYS, "IN GOD WE TRUST."

NOW, WE GAVE THAT MONEY TO MR. ANDERSON TO GIVE TO YOU.

WE FIGURED IT WOULDN'T TAKE MUCH PERSUASION FOR YOU TO ACCEPT IT.

YOU CONNED ME.

A DUMB COP, AND YOU CONNED ME -- ME -- JOE CONNORS.

HOW DOES IT FEEL?

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE CONNED BY A DUMB COP?

HUH?
