Original subtitles

Open the air valves, please.

You went there pretending to be interested in cryogenics

when all the time your snooping?

I know what happened to Elizabeth.

She was murdered.

Do you know what youre doing?

Im preparing a trap.

To satisfy Elizabeth hubbards attorneys,

they would like an autopsy.

An autopsy is out of the question, Mr. Mcgarrett.

The belief is that you have a tumor,

and that the prognosis is terminal.

[ "Hawaii five-o" theme plays ]

Thank you.

Dr. Kenneth kirk, our director.

Miss Millicent shand.

Its a pleasure to welcome you to the foundation, miss shand.

Lovely.

Thank you, Norman.

Lovely.

May I show you around?

This is the sanitarium adjunct of the foundation, miss shand,

complete with hospital room and medical facilities, of course.

But actually the word "sanitarium" is a misnomer.

Our guests, or signatories, if you will,

live a life of retirement

more in country club fashion, you might say.

They dont seem to be just waiting for death.

Oh, by no means. Any more than you would.

Well, I understand you have many famous people here.

23 world renowned, to be exact.

You know, when we heard that you were looking

for a place for yourself,

the prospect was very exciting for us.

I must confess that im a great fan of yours,

and your creation, the world-famous detective,

Henri Renault.

You might say that in your case, crime

does

pay.

Quite well, Dr. Kirk. Quite well, indeed.

As you probably know, miss shand,

cryogenics is the study of low temperatures.

And our branch deals with the suspension and immobilization

of the human body,

in temperatures as close to zero as possible.

This way, ill show you.

At these temperatures, the ravages of nature stopped,

the body preserved,

until such time --

oh, years, centuries, even millenniums from now --

when a cure is discovered,

body is normalized, and brought back to life.

Fascinating, doctor.

Its almost immortality, isnt it?

Exactly, miss shand.

That is our ultimate goal.

Miss shand, you seem to be in such perfect health.

If I may ask, what is your medical problem?

My heart, doctor.

I see.

Ive been told my condition isnt critical now,

but I shall make my decision

about signing in within the next 24 hours.

Mm.

But listen to me, Sonny. Freezing people.

Bringing them back to life. What rubbish.

Millicent, you went there

pretending to be interested in cryogenics

when all the time you were snooping

to find out about your friend Elizabeth Hubbard?

I went there undercover, Sonny.

And I know what happened to Elizabeth.

She was murdered.

Well, thats a very serious charge, miss shand.

Some sincere people believe in this process.

When I saw her in that crypt or tube or whatever you call it,

I knew she was murdered.

You just knew?

I got that letter two weeks after she wrote it

when I returned home from abroad.

She died the day she wrote it.

But she

was

terminally ill.

She says so herself in this letter.

Thats not germane to the issue.

She had months to live, even years.

She and I had the same doctor in San Francisco.

And he was as surprised and shocked as I was.

Read the letter again, Mr. Mcgarrett.

There are all sorts of clues in there.

Doesnt Elizabeth say she was going to leave the foundation?

No. "Thinking of leaving" is the phrase she used.

She said a friend was leaving.

[ Clears throat ]

But all this is circumstantial, Millicent.

What would be the motive for her murder?

Henri Renault says there are only three motives for murder --

passion, fear, and avarice.

Elizabeth didnt inspire passion at her age,

nor, gentle soul that she was, fear.

That leaves only avarice.

She bequeathed $2 million to the foundation

when she signed in.

Theyve got it now.

Governor, I-I think we should look into this.

Thats sounds very lad-di-dah.

Elizabeth was as close to me as a sister, Sonny.

I expect a thorough investigation.

Dont you worry about a thing.

It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Mcgarrett.

If you need any help, dont hesitate to call on me.

Oh, thank you.

I have written 34 mystery novels,

and Henri renaults m.O. Is at your disposal.

She doesnt suffer from insecurity, does she?

[ Laughs ]

"Sonny"?

Well, its a nickname.

I was a very good-natured, happy kid.

This kirk foundation

is a licensed, reputable scientific organization,

and the investigation must be discreet.

Unless you want to find me and you and this whole situation

in her next book, you better get on it right now.

What are you grinning at?

Nothing, sir. Thank you.

Seems rather odd Elizabeth hubbards attorney

wrote telling you that she wanted to leave.

She never mentioned it to us. When was that, Mr. Mcgarrett?

The letter was dated January 8th.

Hmm. Shame. Same day she died.

Is that significant?

Oh, fear or mental imbalance preceding a death

are symptomatic with her illness.

Strange -- she said in her letter

she never felt better that day.

The same day she so desperately wanted to leave.

Poor Elizabeth, always hallucinating, fantasizing.

I assume that her will has been filed for probate.

Naturally. As legatees,

our clients are our own source of funds.

No offense meant, doctor. Thats a routine question.

One more thing.

To satisfy Elizabeth hubbards attorneys,

they would like an autopsy.

I trust you wont object to one.

Of course I object.

An autopsy is out of the question, Mr. Mcgarrett.

Oh? Well see what the attorney general has to say about that.

Thank you, doctor.

Of course its out of the question

as far as hes concerned.

See, performing an autopsy would involve the removal of the brain

as well as other organs.

And that would defeat the whole purpose

of the cryogenic process.

So I cant get a court order to exhume?

Or should I say "to thaw out"?

[ Both chuckle ]

You might get a judge to give you an order.

But then Dr. Kirk will get another judge

to give another court order

enjoining you from carrying this one out.

Then you and Dr. Kirk would be leapfrogging

all the way to the U.S. supreme court.

Theres that convoluted legal mind of yours at work.

If a person were to leave a will,

wherein she provides that she would like her body

preserved cryogenically after her death,

and then she leaves the money to carry out that request,

well, who has a right to come along and cancel her out?

No one.

No one, providing that she died of natural causes.

I mean, if she is going to be brought back to life,

is she really dead now?

If not, the autopsy will kill her for sure.

Oh, I dont know, kwan.

This whole thing has got me upset.

Reason with me.

What if a rich one was about to get away

as miss shand thinks her friend was?

She threatens to change her will and to move out.

What do you think kirk would do?

How do you think he would handle that?

Maybe what miss shand thinks he did, you know?

Push up her death a few months.

Even if she was terminally ill

and he did, indeed, push up her death, that would be murder.

Sure.

[ Chuckles ] Thats fascinating.

Sounds like it could be a perfect crime.

Well, I got to go. Im due back in court.

Thank you.

And if it is murder, I want the cold facts.

My goodness, thats interesting.

Thats

very

interesting.

No chance for an autopsy!

What an intriguing problem for Henri Renault.

How would he overcome that obstacle?

ID be interested to know that myself.

He wouldnt even try. Hed get around it somehow.

Oh, he would, now.

How?

What are you doing about it, Mr. Mcgarrett?

What are we doing about it?

Were looking into the foundations finances,

their death certificates,

any unusual happenings at or near the time of death,

and were trying to find this friend

of Elizabeth hubbards who was supposed to be leaving.

Now, any other suggestions?

Yes. Plod along, knock on doors, police routine.

Yes, police routine, miss shand.

Mr. Mcgarrett, we are dealing with a diabolical rascal,

a very clever murderer

who has devised a protective screen

unparalleled in criminal history.

No, in this case, ordinary methods wont work.

Miss shand, I advise you to be careful and leave this to us.

Henri would figure out an unusual course of investigation,

a different way to uncover proof.

He would create a diversion.

Miss shand? Miss shand!

Please. Leave this to the professionals.

Forgive me, young man, you are a policeman,

a special kind of policeman, thats true.

But you havent the latitude an independent investigator has.

Aloha.

I cant tell you how happy we all are, miss shand.

My bequest will include

all present and future book royalties, doctor.

To be held in trust, of course.

And I hope many, many more books to come.

Oh, Norman.

Miss shand is ready for her complete physical now.

I know that youll be very happy.

Im sure I will.

The kirk foundation was incorporated nine years ago

as a nonprofit organization.

Managing director Kenneth kirk, assistant Norman pryce.

Five nurses in attendance, two physicians,

research staff, two doctorates in biochemistry,

two cryogenic engineers.

The whole staff cant be in on the conspiracy.

Where did you get this information?

Corporation commissioner.

They maintain two bank accounts in town, Steve.

Low five figures, for payroll and current bills.

How many on the payroll?

28. Largest salary is $1,200 a week.

Dr. Kirks?

No, Steve. Phillip girard.

Whos he?

Chef. They run a gourmet kitchen.

Thats not out of line.

What about the monies left in trust?

More than $17 million under their conservatorship.

Okay. Lets zero in on that.

Check for expense accounts, loans,

management fees, and so forth.

Someone might be skimming.

You know, they have more than 40 signatories

outstanding in the foundation.

All wealthy, I suppose.

Oh, yes.

Chin.

And all of them wanting to take it with them

wherever theyre going.

Anything unusual about their deaths?

I checked with the coroners.

Besides Elizabeth Hubbard,

there were two others who met unusual deaths.

When was that?

First, about a year and a half ago.

Was diagnosed as terminal cancer,

but died suddenly of a heart attack.

Second was also diagnosed terminal,

but was an accident victim a couple weeks ago.

His name was Malcolm craigie.

What date?

January 8th.

Thats the same as Elizabeth Hubbard.

There is another coincidence, Steve.

I dont know if it means anything.

The same nurse attended both those men and the Hubbard woman.

[ Telephone rings ]

Yes? Who is this? Steve, for you.

Miss shand.

Yes, miss shand?

You did what?

Signed in.

At the kirk foundation?

Yes, Mr. Mcgarrett.

Miss shand, do you know what youre doing?

Certainly I know. Im preparing a trap.

How, pray tell?

Ive given them a false story of a heart ailment,

and ive taken their physical examination.

Now, they will confirm a nonexistent heart trouble

will which will flush them out

as the fakes and murderers they are.

We were planning to put an experienced police operative

in there undercover.

Do you realize the danger that youre in?

Its already done, Mr. Mcgarrett.

Im waiting now for results.

Well have them right where we want them,

right in the palms of our hands.

I hope you dont end up in cold storage.

Someones coming, Mr. Mcgarrett.

Ill talk to you later.

Lani, have my car brought around, please.

Good morning, miss shand.

Good morning, Dr. Kirk.

I hope im not disturbing you.

Not at all. Wont you sit down?

Thank you.

Very nice to see you. Would you like some tea?

No. No thank you.

I just brought over the results of your heart examination.

I thought ID bring them over personally.

Thats very kind of you, doctor. I hope it isnt too bad.

Not bad at all.

What?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your heart.

There isnt?

No. The doctor,

whatever he saw or thought he saw on your EKG,

we couldnt find it at all.

Your laboratory?

I know its a shock, but a pleasant one.

Perhaps your other test just showed an aberration.

It happens often with EKG.

Then your diagnosis is... Nothing wrong with my heart.

You are in top shape, miss shand.

Congratulations.

Well, that

is

good news.

He came to tell me there is nothing wrong with my heart.

I was afraid of that.

You expected it?

Well, what would you think if you were in kirks place

and someone came to you with a phony illness?

But he doesnt think it was a phony.

He said himself heart trouble is frequently misdiagnosed,

an aberration in the EKG.

No, something else must have alerted him.

I hope you werent heavy-handed, Mr. Mcgarrett.

Please.

Now he may be on the alert.

We must proceed with extreme caution.

Henri, of course, would have anticipated it.

[ Telephone rings ]

Excuse me.

Hello?

Yes, Mr. Pryce.

Well, he was here. He left about 10 minutes ago.

Which gland?

What does that mean?

Oh, yes, I see.

Yes, of course.

Thank you, Mr. Pryce.

That was Dr. Kirks assistant.

It seems Dr. Kirk was sent only the results of my heart test.

Now their laboratory reports a serious condition

with my pineal gland.

Of course!

Hes not going to let a plum like you get away.

A plum.

I dont believe it.

Why, I never felt better in my life.

They are just more devious than I thought, arent they?

Theres one sure way to find out.

May I use your phone?

Do.

Dr. Char, please.

Yes, mcgarrett.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Yes?

-Mrs. Seddler? -Yes.

Mcgarrett, Hawaii five-o.

May I speak to you about your father, Malcolm craigie?

Lets step outside.

The baby is sleeping in the front room.

What was it you wanted to know?

Actually, I would like to talk to you about his death,

if I may.

Why?

This is an official police investigation.

Could you tell me,

was he living at the kirk foundation when he died?

Yes.

But he was struck by a hit-and-run driver

on his way over here to visit.

He stepped off a curb, and a car smashed into him.

He died an hour later at the foundation.

Was he planning on leaving there?

He was considering it.

I wanted him to.

I just about had him convinced to leave,

and then it happened.

If hed left there a day earlier, hed be alive today.

And no matter what they say,

I dont believe hes going to be alive in the future.

This investigation, whats it about?

The foundation?

Well, if youll bear with me and give us a little more time,

I might have some answers for you.

Maybe a lot more.

Thank you.

How do you find a cure for smashed brains?

Now or 1,000 years from now?

And why go through the whole process of freezing

without any hope?

For his money, of course.

Well, its beginning to make sense.

I think I can guess at what happened earlier this month.

What do you figure, Steve?

I figure that Elizabeth Hubbard

and Malcolm craigie were good friends.

They probably talked about leaving the foundation.

In fact, craigie had made up his mind to leave.

He was going to live with his daughter, Lucy.

As Elizabeth wrote me.

But before craigie could withdraw formally,

before he could announce his intentions in writing,

they arranged for his "accident."

That was on the 8th.

Right.

And then when Elizabeth discovered

what they had done to him, she probably panicked,

tried to run away, figuring she was next.

And that took care of her.

Well, thats my guess anyway.

Now all we need is proof.

[ Telephone rings ]

Mcgarrett.

Yes, doctor.

What?

No possible error?

Yes, doctor. So am I.

Thank you.

Well, Mr. Mcgarrett?

Miss shand...

I regret to say

an independent medical laboratory

confirms the foundations diagnosis.

The belief is that you have a tumor in the pineal gland,

and that the prognosis is terminal.

So, I have decided to go back to the mainland

for a complete physical checkup,

possibly to the leahy clinic in Boston.

I think thats a wise decision.

Another opinion cant hurt.

If I decide, then, not to return here,

a letter from my attorney will abrogate my contract

with the foundation, correct?

Well, of course. When did you plan on leaving?

Tomorrow at the latest.

Oh, thats a pity.

I was hoping that you could take a more in-depth look

into cryogenics, which is far more advanced here

than anywhere else in the world.

[ Chuckles ] But you did show me around,

and let me sample your magnificent cuisine.

Well, superficially.

Miss shand...

Im going to make an exception for you.

Oh?

Our first experiment in resuscitation.

[ Gasps ]

James Royce died of hodgkins disease six years ago.

He is in suspension in our chambers now.

The cure has not been found for the disease,

but a palliative has.

And youre going to bring him back to life?

Hell be our first.

When?

Tomorrow.

Of course, that will mean

that youd have to postpone your trip to the mainland.

You could stay here with us.

Im sure that you would enjoy our facilities.

Dr. Kirk...

I accept.

She didnt return to her hotel last night,

and she didnt leave word where she was going.

The governor hasnt heard from her, either.

There were no plane reservations in her name

for Boston or anywhere else.

Then I have to assume she is still on the island.

What do you think, Steve?

Should we try the kirk foundation?

No, I dont think so, danno.

Any inquiry would alert them if she is still there.

[ Telephone rings ]

Williams, five-o.

Yes. Hold on a minute.

Steve, shes there.

Miss shand? Yes.

I see you have taken things into your own hands again,

havent you?

I really believe that youre in danger, grave danger.

Im not supposed to say anything about this,

so, you, please dont let it out.

But this afternoon,

someone who has been in suspension for six years

is going to be brought back to life.

You mean theyre actually going to thaw someone out?

And theyre permitting you to watch?

Mm.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, god. I see.

Well, my suggestion to you,

and I cant emphasize this too strongly,

is to be careful, very careful.

I dont want any more tragedies out there.

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

Kirk invited her to watch

their first experiment in resuscitation.

Danno, weve got to get you out there undercover somehow

to see what theyre doing.

How do we do that?

Got one idea.

[ Telephone clicks ]

Lani, get me the president of oahu power company, please.

Its about time!

Weve got an unexpected power outage

in our science building.

Well, lead us to it.

A demonstration starting in 90 minutes,

and were operating on our backup system.

-If that should go... -Well take care of it.

Hey. How long do you think it will take?

Oh, less than an hour and a half.

Have to check all the lines.

If you need anything, ill be downstairs at the chamber.

Thank you.

Temperature?

Temperature, plus 45 and rising.

Good.

Duke.

What are they doing?

This is it, chum. Showtime.

Open the air valves, please.

Yes, sir.

This process of normalizing temperature

from minus 272 degrees

has been going on for more than 24 hours now.

[ Gasps ]

55.

60.

61.

Were on city power now, right?

Yes, doctor.

69. 70.

71.

72.

80.

85.

Atmosphere normal, doctor.

91.

92.

93.

94.

95.

96.

97.

98.

99.

Hold the temperature.

[ Electricity buzzing lightly ]

Electrodes ready?

Theyre ready.

Number one.

[ Clatter ]

Number two.

[ Clatter ]

[ Buzzing continues ]

Come on, man!

Come on!

This is the most critical moment.

The heart has to start pumping again.

Extraordinary.

[ Beeping ]

Positive, doctor. Heartbeat started.

[ Beeping continues ]

Would you get him out, please?

Mr. Royce?

Mr. James Royce?

Wheres my cigarette?

I thought you were trying to quit.

[ Applause ]

He said what?

"Wheres my cigarette?"

First words out of his mouth.

He must have been smoking his last cigarette

before he passed out.

What have

you

two been smoking?

Steve, if youd been there,

you would have gotten a chill yourself.

A dead man dead six years coming back to life?

Youre out of your gourds.

Dont believe us.

Ask the older people who watched.

It was a trick, fellas. A big magic show.

Dont you understand that?

You didnt believe it, did you?

Steve, ill tell you,

I watched the whole procedure

with, pardon the expression, icy detachment.

And I tell you, it was uncanny.

[ Telephone rings ]

Mcgarrett.

Yes, Dr. Char.

When was that?

Are you sure?

Absolutely certain?

And its the university lab this time?

Very well. Thank you. Were on our way.

Lets go. Theyve got something.

Hello. How are you doing today?

Very well. Thank you.

This will hurt for only a second.

Im sorry, doctor.

Miss shand wont let me give her the injection.

Hmm.

I tell what you, nurse,

well add it to her supper tray, all right?

-Yes, doctor. -Thank you.

Thats funny.

When they got his report on the phone,

I compared it with the first report from the independent lab.

Its different?

Not different.

The diagnosis was the same, but the degree wasnt.

Right. The count is lower.

You mean as if the patient was getting better?

This is a glandular problem. It doesnt get better.

Well, maybe it just looks like a glandular problem.

You have some technical knowledge in this field,

Mr. Mcgarrett?

Oh, no, no. Just following a hunch, doc.

Youll be surprised how much of our work is intuition.

Now, you know a medical problem when you see one.

We know an illegal scam.

Can you verify whether miss shands problem

is real or a phony?

It may take a little time.

You got it. Well wait.

Miss shand?

Miss shand?

Where are you?

What is it, nurse?

Miss shand is not in her apartment, doctor.

All right. Carry on.

Miss shand is not in her --

miss

shand is not in her apartment.

Alert the guards. Have them monitor the gate.

Right.

Steve, how would they get something introduced

into her blood without her knowing it?

I assume that when she took that physical exam,

along with taking blood samples from her,

they injected something into her.

If that is what happened, doc,

how long will it take to get some answers?

I suggested some shortcuts. He knows what to look for.

Have some more coffee.

I know what a traumatic experience it must be,

Mr. Royce,

going to sleep and waking up to find six years have passed.

Thats right.

But its absolutely fascinating to me.

Im a writer. A mystery writer.

And what you have gone through is the greatest mystery of all.

I-I cant talk about it.

Ive been told there isnt supposed to be

any publicity on this.

The mystery of life and death.

Now, you can answer the question,

the worlds greatest philosophers

have speculated about.

What was it like...

Being dead, Mr. Royce?

Now, look, miss...

Shand. Millicent shand.

Ah.

The mystery writer.

Henri Renault.

Ive read every one of your books.

Ill autograph them all for you, Mr. Royce.

Was it cold?

Well...

Yes, in a way.

Did you feel anything?

No.

No. Just...

What? Just what?

The coldness.

Of course.

Of space.

Like outer space.

Limbo.

Yeah.

Somewhere between heaven and earth

and waiting and not belonging.

Alone.

Nowhere any life.

Waiting.

Everything frozen, time frozen. Thoughts frozen.

All life frozen.

Yes.

Eternity stopped.

Yes. How did you know? It was just like that.

Just exactly like that, miss shand.

I should know, Mr. Royce.

Henri Renault faced just such a situation

with an amnesiac.

Ah! Right.

I remember.

You got the Edgar award

for the best detective story of the year.

Yes.

It was his most successful case.

Uh, you should leave now, miss shand.

Ill see you later, Mr. Royce.

I should have taken up forensic medicine.

That is, if I could get the same kind of help you gave me.

What is the bottom line, doc?

Its a phony.

Shes not sick at all.

They put something in her blood that reacts the same way

that a glandular infection would react.

So its temporary, right?

Right. Thats why there was a difference in degree

from the other lab and ours.

Shes out there now, Steve.

Weve got to warn her. How can we get in touch?

We cant, not without tipping kirk.

Doc, will call my office, please?

Tell Duke and chin to meet us out at the foundation hotel.

Lets go.

Give me five-o.

Dr. Kirk!

Dr. Kirk.

Where could she have gone? What could she be doing?

I dont know.

That stupid nurse was supposed to have kept an eye on her.

Frankly, Norman, im a little more than concerned.

Maybe I underestimated that little old bitty.

I thought for sure she was convinced

when we injected the toxin during her physical

and it showed up in her own lab test.

Well, she was. Why else would she sign up?

What is she doing nosing around? Theres got to be a reason!

[ Sighs ]

Ill tell you one thing --

if we werent staring at a million dollars a year

in book royalties, ID say let her go.

Dr. Kirk.

Did you find her?

No, she wasnt in the dining room,

but she was in Mr. Royces room.

Hold it! Hold it!

What is it?

Elizabeth Hubbard file is gone.

Weve got to find that busybody paperback writer now!

Get on it!

[ Telephone rings ]

Muskie.

Nurse irwins here.

Dr. Kirk wants you immediately at the east gate.

Emergency.

Yes, maam.

[ Siren wails ]

There she is!

[ Moans ]

Thank you.

Miss shand, will you please come with us?

Oh, no, I cant come with you.

Let me go. Take your hands off me!

I have things to do with my work!

Hold it.

-Is she sedated? -Yes.

Get her into suspension before she comes to.

Lets go.

[ Tires screech ]

Hold it. Where are you going?

Mcgarrett, five-o.

Put her in 9-c, please.

Yes, sir.

All right. Hold it. Freeze. Youre under arrest.

Get over there.

Miss shand?

Miss shand, are you all right?

Oh.

-Oh, Steve. -Governor.

Ah, miss shand.

Mr. Mcgarrett.

Youre looking well this morning.

Nothing like a sound sleep to refresh one.

Governor, case file on the kirk foundation.

Oh, Millicent just gave me her version of the adventure.

Yes.

And I must say, you did a superb job, Mr. Mcgarrett.

Thank you.

For a cop.

Henri would have been very proud of you.

Im afraid, however,

he didnt measure up to his usual brilliance.

That nonexistent heart condition of mine

didnt work out too well.

Oh, dont run Henri down too much, miss shand.

Dont forget that it was James royces reference to your book

"the case of the errant memory" that proved he was a fraud.

Yes. Thats right.

When he quoted from that book I wrote two years ago,

when he was supposed to be dead and in suspension,

that did him in.

Ill make that point clear in "the case of the frozen assets."

Do you like that title, Sonny?

Uh, Millicent...

Its about you, of course.

Im sure you both will love being the heroes

of a bestseller.

Governor, will you excuse me, sir?

Miss shand, I enjoyed working with you.

Oh, well do it again. We must.

Sir.

Millicent, I have been meaning to talk to you

about this pet name "Sonny."

You see, as governor of the state of Hawaii,

the name Sonny, no matter how affectionate,

somehow is not in keeping with the dignity of the office.

Dont be childish, Sonny.
