[ PHONE RINGS ]

HELLO?

YES, THIS IS PROFESSOR DOBS BURKE.

WHO?

HERBERT SOUTHWOOD, PROFESSOR.

I THINK YOU'VE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR FROM ME.

I'VE BEEN WAITING A WEEK TO HEAR FROM YOU.

JUST WHAT EXACTLY IS THE DELAY, MR. SOUTHWOOD?

HAVE YOU -- HAVE YOU GOT THE ARTICLES?

HAVE YOU GOT THE MONEY?

YES, I'VE GOT THE MONEY. WHAT'S TAKEN YOU SO LONG?

THOSE BONES HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, PROFESSOR.

WHAT'S A FEW MORE DAYS?

I'VE ONLY GOT A FEW DAYS LEFT.

YOU WANT THEM RIGHT NOW?

OF COURSE, I WANT THEM RI--

WHY DO YOU THINK I CAME ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE?

WELL, COME AND GET THEM AND BRING THE CASH.

WHERE?

GOT A PENCIL?

OKAY.

MR. SOUTHWOOD? MR. SOUTHWOOD?

[ CLICK ]

OH, NO.

OH, NO. NO, NO.

DOBS BURKE,

PROFESSOR OF ANTHROPOLOGY, WESSEX COLLEGE, BOSTON.

WHY DID YOU PICK UP THE NECKTIE?

REFLEX ACTION.

IN A SENSE, WE BOTH DEAL WITH RELATED EXHIBITS, SIR.

WE DO?

DECEASED BEINGS.

OF COURSE, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

YOURS ARE FAR MORE RECENTLY DECEASED THAN MINE.

ONLY IF WE'RE LUCKY.

NOW, WHAT ABOUT THE NECKTIE?

AS I SAID, IT WAS PURELY INSTINCTIVE.

I CAME INTO THE ROOM,

OBSERVED THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL FIND ON THE FLOOR,

AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO EXAMINE ITS CLOTHING

IN ORDER TO DETERMINE ITS AGE.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S OKAY. WHAT IS ITS AGE?

SECOND HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY.

JUST BY LOOKING AT THE TIE, HUH?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, PROFESSOR?

I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DECEASED.

HE WAS TO DELIVER TO ME THE --

DAN. HIS NAME IS SOUTHWOOD.

HERBERT SOUTHWOOD. HERE'S HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE.

YOU SAY YOU HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH SOUTHWOOD, HUH?

THAT'S CORRECT.

WHAT FOR?

FOR THE PURPOSE OF HIS TURNING OVER TO ME THE SKULL,

THE BONES, AND THE TEETH OF SINANTHROPUS PEKINENSIS.

OF WHAT?

PEKING MAN?

EXACTLY, SIR.

OH, YOU'VE HEARD OF THE FOSSILS I'M ALLUDING TO THEN?

AN INCREDIBLY VALUABLE FIND

FROM WHICH IT WAS POSSIBLE TO COMMENCE A DEFINITIVE STUDY

OF THE ORIGINS OF ORIENTAL CIVILIZATION.

I REMEMBER READING AN ARTICLE ABOUT THEM.

THEY, UH -- THEY DISAPPEARED

SHORTLY BEFORE THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR, DIDN'T THEY?

WELL, YOU'RE A WELL-INFORMED MAN, MR. McGARRETT.

I LIKE TO READ, BUT IF I RECALL CORRECTLY,

THEY'VE NEVER BEEN RECOVERED.

WELL, NOW YOU'RE LESS WELL-INFORMED.

THEY HAVE BEEN RECOVERED,

AND I WAS TO HAVE RECEIVED THEM THIS AFTERNOON.

FROM SOUTHWOOD?

YES.

WELL, WHERE DID HE GET HOLD OF THEM?

THAT I CANNOT TELL YOU.

I ATTEMPTED TO ELICIT SUCH INFORMATION FROM MR. SOUTHWOOD.

BUT HIS ONLY RESPONSE WAS TO ASSURE ME

THAT IF I PROVIDED THE MONEY, HE WOULD PROVIDE THE FOSSILS.

HOW MUCH MONEY?

$80,000.

WHERE WERE YOU ABLE TO RAISE THAT AMOUNT, PROFESSOR?

I'M AUTHORIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT

OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

TO AGREE TO ANY TERMS IN ORDER TO RECOVER THE FOSSILS.

THEY CONSIDER THEM THEIR PROPERTY, YOU KNOW.

SO YOU'RE --

YOU'RE ACTING ON BEHALF OF COMMUNIST CHINA?

MAINLAND CHINA?

WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT, YES.

I SEE.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

YEAH, DANO, WHAT DO YOU GOT?

DOC'S REPORT. PRETTY ROUTINE.

MALE, CAUCASIAN, APPROXIMATELY 27.

OF COURSE, PROFESSOR BURKE DETERMINED ALL THAT

JUST BY EXAMINING THE NECKTIE HE WAS STRANGLED WITH.

[ CHUCKLES ]

INCIDENTALLY, IT WAS HIS OWN NECKTIE.

STEVE, THIS PART COULD BE INTERESTING.

OH, YEAH.

"PALLOR OF UNEXPOSED PORTION OF SKIN

"TOGETHER WITH PECULIAR STYLE OF HAIRCUT

"SUGGEST RECENT TERM IN PENAL INSTITUTION

OR OTHER CONFINEMENT."

YES, THAT COULD BE VERY INTERESTING.

LET'S FIND OUT.

GET HIS NAME, DESCRIPTION, PHOTOGRAPH,

AND PRINTS ON THE WIRE TO THE FBI IN WASHINGTON.

IT'S IN THE WORKS.

THIS SOUTHWOOD WAS ONLY 26 OR 27,

WHAT COULD HE KNOW ABOUT PEKING MAN?

THOSE BONES DISAPPEARED IN 1941, HE WASN'T EVEN BORN YET.

Man: THAT'S RIGHT, STEVE, BURKE'S AUTHENTIC.

AND WHAT HE'S DOING HAS THE FULL APPROVAL

OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT AND THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

HE'S ONE OF THE TOP DOGS IN THE OLD BONES BUSINESS.

THE BIG BOYS IN PEKING ASKED FOR HIM PERSONALLY.

THEY WANT THOSE FOSSILS BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

AND WE WANT THEM TO HAVE WHATEVER'S RIGHTFULLY THEIRS.

SO GET ON TOP OF IT, STEVE. GIVE HIM ANY HELP HE NEEDS.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DO, JONATHAN,

GET MY MEN OUT THERE WITH SHOVELS?

I'M TRYING TO DIG UP A KILLER NOT A BAG OF OLD BONES.

THIS IS NOT JUST A MURDER.

IT COULD HAVE POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES.

I DON'T READ YOU, JONATHAN.

STEVE, BURKE'S ACTING FOR THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

HE WAS MAKING CONTACT

WITH SOMEONE WHOM HE BELIEVES

WAS ABOUT TO DELIVER THOSE FOSSILS.

NOW, THAT MAN WAS MURDERED.

YOU KNOW HOW SENSITIVE MATTERS ARE RIGHT NOW.

AND HOW EASILY THEY CAN FEEL THEY'VE BEEN INSULTED.

WE'VE GOT TO FIND THAT KILLER, STEVE, AND...

AND?

LET US PRAY THAT HE DOESN'T TURN OUT TO BE CHINESE.

SO LONG, JONATHAN.

[ HANGS UP ]

DANO.

DOC WAS RIGHT.

SOUTHWOOD WAS RELEASED FROM SAN QUENTIN THREE WEEKS AGO.

ONE TO FIVE FOR ARMED ROBBERY.

I THINK I'M GOING TO ROUND OUT

MY ANTHROPOLOGICAL EDUCATION.

THE MAJOR DISCOVERY OF THE FOSSILS

WAS MADE IN 1927

IN CHOU KOU TIEN, ABOUT 30 MILES SOUTH OF PEKING.

NOW, THE DIGGING CONTINUED THERE

UNTIL THE JAPANESE INVASION IN THE '40s.

UH, CREAM, SUGAR?

SUGAR, PLEASE.

NOW, THERE WAS A COMPANY OF U.S. MARINES

IN THE PROCESS OF LEAVING CHINA AT THE TIME.

AND THE HEAD OF THE PEKING UNION MEDICAL COLLEGE

ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD

TAKE THE FOSSILS WITH THEM FOR SAFE KEEPING.

SO THE BONES WERE CAREFULLY PACKED

AND ASSIGNED TO A SQUAD IN THE MARINE COMPANY.

DID THE BONES EVER LEAVE CHINA?

WE DON'T KNOW THAT.

THE BAGGAGE TRAIN WAS CAPTURED, AND THE MARINES DISPERSED.

THE CRATE DISAPPEARED.

AFTER THE WAR, OF COURSE, THE SEARCH COMMENCED,

BUT UNTIL NOW, NOTHING.

PROFESSOR, THE MAN WHO OFFERED

TO TURN THE BONES OVER TO YOU FOR $80,000,

HOW DO YOU KNOW HE WASN'T A FAKE?

HE DESCRIBED THE CRATE AND ITS CONTENTS.

SOUTHWOOD DESCRIBED IT?

YES. YOU SEE,

THE CRATE WAS SPECIALLY MARKED WHEN IT WAS TURNED OVER

TO THE MARINES TO MAKE SURE IT WAS QUICKLY SPOTTED

ONCE IT REACHED THE UNITED STATES.

HE KNEW THAT.

COULDN'T HE HAVE READ ABOUT IT SOMEWHERE?

NOT UNLESS HE HAD ACCESS TO THE DIARIES

OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE PEKING UNION MEDICAL COLLEGE.

AND THE YOUNG MAN

WAS NOT ARTICULATE IN THE CHINESE LANGUAGE.

YOU TESTED HIM?

[ SCOFFS ]

MR. McGARRETT, YOU DON'T AGREE TO TURN OVER $80,000

ENTRUSTED TO YOU BY THE GOVERNMENT OF CHINA

WITHOUT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF, UH, DETECTIVE WORK.

-DANO. -YES, STEVE.

I'D LIKE A LIST OF SOUTHWOOD'S CELLMATES

WHEN HE WAS IN SAN QUENTIN.

I'M ON IT, STEVE.

IS CHIN THERE?

YES, HE IS.

PUT HIM ON, AND YOU STAY ON.

CHIN, STEVE.

YEAH, STEVE.

CHIN, SEE IF YOU CAN GET A LIST

OF THE MARINES WHO WERE IN THAT SQUAD

THAT CARRIED THE BONES OF PEKING MAN OUT OF CHINA IN 1941.

NOW, ONE NAME ON BOTH THOSE LISTS SHOULD BE THE SAME.

I'LL BET ON IT.

-STEVE. -YEAH.

ON THE NOSE.

SERGEANT RAYMOND E. PARMEL, UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS.

HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE DETAIL TRANSPORTING THOSE BONES,

AND HE WAS ALSO IN A CELL

WITH HERBERT SOUTHWOOD AT SAN QUENTIN.

HAD TO BE. NOW, WHAT ELSE ABOUT PARMEL?

LET'S SEE, DISCHARGED FROM THE SERVICE IN '45,

HE'S 52 YEARS OLD.

1948, HE PULLED SEVEN FOR ARMED ROBBERY.

1952, HE WAS INVOLVED IN AN UNSUCCESSFUL ESCAPE ATTEMPT,

ENDED UP WITH 20 YEARS MORE.

A YEAR AGO, HE WAS TRANSFERRED TO SAN QUENTIN.

AND HERE'S THE KICKER, STEVE.

YEAH, TELL ME. HE'S DEAD?

[ CHUCKLES ] NO.

TEN DAYS AGO, HE TRIED TO BREAK OUT OF PRISON AGAIN.

THIS TIME, HE DID IT.

SO HE'S ON THE LOOSE, HUH?

PROBABLY ON THE LOOSE RIGHT OUT THERE IN HONOLULU.

COME IN, MR. PARMEL.

ARE YOU ACQUAINTED WITH MY NEPHEW?

YEAH, WE WERE ROOMMATES FOR A WHILE ON THE MAINLAND.

UNDER WHOSE AUSPICES?

AUSPICES?

-THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. -HMM.

WAS THE FOOD GOOD?

IT WAS BETTER IN THE MARINES.

-SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN, PLEASE. -THANK YOU.

SOME TEA, PERHAPS?

YEAH, THANK YOU.

WAS MY NEPHEW ROBUST?

HE WASN'T HURTING ANY.

TOLD ME TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.

FOR WHAT REASON?

HE SAID YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD AT ARRANGING THINGS.

WHAT MATTERS YOU NEED ARRANGED, HUH?

I NEED A YOUNG LADY IN HER 20s.

WILL SHE BE HAOLE?

YEAH, AND AMERICAN.

SHE HAS TO HAVE DOCUMENTS TO PROVE WHO SHE IS

AND WHAT SHE WANTS.

IF YOU CAN ARRANGE THAT, I'LL FILL YOU IN ON THE DETAILS.

I CAN ARRANGE IT. WHAT DETAILS?

SAN QUENTIN'S SENDING DESCRIPTIONS

AND MUG SHOTS, STEVE.

WE'LL GET AN APB OUT ON PARMEL AS SOON AS THEY GET HERE.

THANKS, CHIN.

ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN,

WHAT ARE THE ASSUMPTIONS UP TO THIS POINT?

THE BONES ARE IN HONOLULU AND PARMEL KNOWS WHERE.

HE'S BEEN WAITING 34 YEARS TO COME AND GET THEM.

BUT WHY ESCAPE?

HE ONLY HAD TWO MORE YEARS TO GO

BEFORE HE WAS ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE.

AND WHERE DOES SOUTHWOOD FIT IN?

MAYBE GETTING AHOLD OF THE FOSSILS IS A TWO-MAN OPERATION.

HE THOUGHT HE COULD TRUST SOUTHWOOD,

BUT SOUTHWOOD DECIDED NOT TO WAIT,

TRIED TO MAKE A DEAL AHEAD OF TIME.

PARMEL FOUND OUT. IT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPERS.

YEAH, REALIZED THAT HE HAD BEEN DOUBLE-CROSSED AND BUSTED OUT.

YEAH, AND HE CAME HERE TO KILL SOUTHWOOD.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO PARMEL IS HERE,

PROFESSOR BURKE IS HERE, PEKING MAN IS HERE.

IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE SOMEBODY TRIES

TO GET ALL THREE OF THEM TOGETHER, HUH?

OKAY.

I'VE ASKED PROFESSOR BURKE TO COME SEE ME ABOUT IT,

BUT IN THE MEANTIME, LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.

ARE WE MISSING A BET, GENTLEMEN?

WHAT BET, STEVE?

JUST SUPPOSE

THAT PARMEL IS NOT THE ONLY MAN IN THAT MARINE SQUAD

WHO KNOWS WHERE THOSE BONES ARE.

HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE SQUAD, THE DETAIL, CERTAINLY,

BUT OTHER MEN MIGHT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE GUARDING

OR WHERE THEY WERE STORED.

LET'S SEE, LET'S SEE WHERE THOSE OTHER MEN ARE,

THE ONES THAT SURVIVED THE WAR.

FIND OUT IF THEY KNOW ANYTHING.

-COMPUTER TIME, HUH? -RIGHT.

STEVE, PROFESSOR BURKE IS HERE.

OH, SHOW HIM IN, PLEASE.

-PROFESSOR. -MR. McGARRETT.

-SIT DOWN, WON'T YOU, PLEASE. -THANK YOU.

HAS ANYONE ELSE MADE CONTACT WITH YOU?

NO, SIR, NOT YET.

I'D LIKE YOUR ASSURANCE

THAT YOU WILL NOTIFY US IMMEDIATELY IF ANYONE DOES.

DO YOU EXPECT SOMEONE TO APPROACH ME?

-I'M ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED OF IT. -WHO?

MAN NAMED PARMEL.

RAYMOND PARMEL.

WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE PEKING MAN?

THAT'S MY GUESS.

PROFESSOR, I REALIZE THE TEMPTATION WILL BE GREAT

TO MAKE AN KIND OF DEAL HE MIGHT SUGGEST

IN ORDER TO GAIN POSSESSION OF THOSE FOSSILS.

I WOULD LIKE TO IMPRESS ON YOU, THOUGH,

THAT THIS MAN IS A SUSPECT IN A MURDER.

AND A RECENT ESCAPEE FROM SAN QUENTIN PRISON.

NOW, WHATEVER YOUR INCLINATIONS MIGHT BE,

IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE

THAT YOU CALL ME THE MOMENT HE MAKES CONTACT WITH YOU.

IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?

THOROUGHLY, SIR.

PROFESSOR, I WON'T KEEP YOU ANY LONGER.

HERE'S MY CARD.

I'LL EXPECT TO HEAR FROM YOU AS SOON AS YOU'RE CONTACTED.

YOU WILL, SIR. BYE.

BYE.

DANVERS, JOSEPH F.,

SERGEANT MAJOR, UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS,

STATIONED AT PARRIS ISLAND. WHO'S HE?

HE WAS IN PARMEL'S SQUAD IN 1941.

HMM.

THAT MAKES SIX ACCOUNTED FOR.

TWO OF THEM ARE STILL IN THE SERVICE,

THREE HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED, ONE WAS KILLED IN ACTION.

THAT LEAVES SIX UNACCOUNTED FOR.

MAYBE DANVERS CAN REMEMBER SOME NAMES

OR SOME THINGS THAT HAPPENED.

PACK YOUR BAGS, DANO.

YOU'RE GOING TO PARRIS ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA.

RIGHT.

[ RINGING ]

HELLO.

YES, THIS IS PROFESSOR DOBS BURKE. WHO'S THIS?

MY NAME'S NOT IMPORTANT.

JUST THINK ABOUT ME AS BEING PEKING MAN.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF PEKING MAN?

THE ONE THING YOU WANT TO KNOW.

YOU KNOW WHERE THE FOSSILS ARE?

MORE THAN THAT. I CAN DELIVER THEM TO YOU.

-YOU WANT TO TALK? -YES.

GOOD.

YOU MEET ME AT THE BASE OF THE ALOHA TOWER,

2:30 THIS AFTERNOON.

AND YOU BRING $25,000. IT'S A DOWN PAYMENT.

HOW DO I KNOW THAT THIS IS AUTHENTIC?

IF IT ISN'T, YOU DON'T PAY.

ALOHA TOWER, 2:30.

PROFESSOR?

YES?

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE THOSE BONES,

DON'T TALK TO ANY COPS.

DON'T EVEN GO NEAR ANY COPS.

ANY COPS, I'LL KNOW ABOUT IT.

YOU'LL NEVER SEE PEKING MAN.

YOU GOT THAT?

YES. YES, I'VE GOT IT.

[ HANGS UP ]

YOU BETTER NOT HAVE YELLED COP.

WHO ARE YOU?

YOU KEEP ASKING ME THAT.

I'M THE GUY WHO TELEPHONED YOU.

NO, I HAVEN'T NOTIFIED THE POLICE.

I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT.

DID YOU BRING THE DOWN PAYMENT?

HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE ABLE

TO, UH, TURN OVER THE FOSSILS?

WHAT'S THIS?

READ IT.

PRETTY GOOD DESCRIPTION OF THE SHIPMENT?

THE CRATE, THE MARKINGS,

DISTRIBUTION OF THE SKULLS AND BONES IN THE CRATE.

IT'S PERFECT. WHERE ARE THEY?

WHERE'S THE MONEY?

AREN'T YOU GOING TO COUNT IT?

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CHEAT ME.

IT'S NOT YOUR MONEY.

BESIDES, YOU'RE SO HOT FOR THOSE BONES,

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO SCREW IT UP.

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

GO BACK TO YOUR HOTEL.

WHEN YOU HEAR THAT TELEPHONE GO "BING,"

I'LL GIVE YOU THE WORD.

WILLIAMS, HAWAII FIVE-O.

COPS, HUH? LOOKING FOR SOMEONE I KNOW?

MAYBE.

WHO?

PEKING MAN.

WHAT MAN?

PEKING.

WHAT OUTFIT WAS HE IN?

COMPANY B,

FIRST BATTALION, FOURTH MARINE, SERGEANT PARMEL'S SQUAD.

YOU CAME A LONG WAY FOR NOTHING, BUDDY.

THERE WASN'T ANYBODY BY THAT NAME IN PARMEL'S SQUAD.

WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THE TRIP OUT OF CHINA

IN NOVEMBER, 1941?

B COMPANY WAS LOCATED IN TONGZHOU.

ABOUT 6:00 THAT MORNING,

WE GOT ORDERS TO MOVE SOUTH TO TIENTSIN,

WHERE A COUPLE TRANSPORTS WERE WAITING.

THE JAPANESE ATTACKED THE SUPPLY TRAIN

AROUND 2:00 THE NEXT MORNING.

LIEUTENANT GROVES CAME OUT YELLING

FOR PARMEL TO GET THOSE CRATES

AND MOVE THEM DOWN TO THE TRANSPORTS ON THE DOUBLE.

WHAT CRATES?

THE ONES THAT WERE CONSIGNED TO US

FOR A SPECIAL SHIPMENT.

HOW MANY WERE THERE?

THREE, I THINK.

OKAY, GO ON. WHAT HAPPENED THEN?

THEN, WE DID IT.

YOU DID WHAT?

GOT THE CRATES ON THE TRANSPORT

AND MOVED THEM ALL THE WAY TO HONOLULU.

WHEN WAS THAT? DO YOU REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE?

WELL, LET'S SEE.

TWO DAYS BEFORE PEARL HARBOR, 5 DECEMBER.

OKAY. AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CRATES THEN?

WELL, ONCE WE DROPPED HOOK, PARMEL, AND CROWE,

ED CROWE, ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE SQUAD

AND A BUDDY OF PARMEL,

TOLD US TO SEND THE CRATES TO PEARL HARBOR.

AND THAT'S THE LAST I SEEN OF THEM.

TWO DAYS LATER, THE STUFF HIT THE FAN,

MOST OF US WERE SHIPPED OUT.

SO THAT'S, UH, ALL YOU CAN TELL ME?

THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

OKAY, SERGEANT MAJOR, THANK YOU.

YOU'VE BEEN A BIG HELP.

-HEY, WAIT ONE. -WHAT?

PEKING WHO?

MAN.

THERE WAS A SYDNEY MAN

IN THE SECOND SQUAD.

NO, WRONG MAN.

THANKS ANYWAY.

SUNYAKO, YOU ARE AN ARTIST.

NO, NO, I AM AN ENTREPRENEUR.

I EMPLOY ARTISTS.

YOU ARE VERY PUNCTUAL, YOUNG LADY.

MAY I INTRODUCE MISS SUMMERVILLE?

HI.

YEAH.

YEAH, SHE'LL DO JUST FINE.

OH, NO, SIR. NO, MR. McGARRETT.

NO ONE'S TRIED TO CONTACT ME. NO ONE AT ALL.

IT'S, UH, RATHER DISAPPOINTING.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M PLANNING TO --

WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?

THERE IS EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE

THAT THOSE BONES ARE IN HONOLULU.

PERHAPS SOMEWHERE AT PEARL HARBOR.

I'M GOING TO CONDUCT A SEARCH. I'D LIKE YOU WITH ME.

MR. McGARRETT, I'M --

I APPRECIATE YOUR INTEREST IN MY PROBLEM,

BUT I'M PACKING MY BAGS RIGHT NOW.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

I PLAN TO CATCH THE FIRST AVAILABLE FLIGHT HOME.

I COULD USE YOUR HELP, PROFESSOR.

MR. McGARRETT, FORGIVE ME,

BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE THE HEART FOR ANOTHER WILD GOOSE CHASE.

I SEE.

VERY WELL, PROFESSOR. THANK YOU.

CHIN.

-YES, STEVE. -CHECK THE AIRLINES.

SEE IF PROFESSOR BURKE HAS A RESERVATION FOR THE MAINLAND.

RIGHT.

I THINK HIS NAME IS DOBS.

STEVE.

YOU'RE SURE OF THAT, LIEUTENANT?

OKAY. THANK YOU.

NO GOOD, STEVE.

THERE'VE BEEN THREE SEARCHES OF OLD BARRACKS AT PEARL HARBOR

IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. NO BONES, NO TRACE OF THEM.

BUT THEY WERE SENT THERE.

WE HAVE SERGEANT MAJOR DANVERS' WORD FOR THAT.

THERE MUST BE SOME RECORD, SOME TRACE SOMEWHERE.

THAT WAS THE TIME OF THE PEARL HARBOR ATTACK.

A LOT OF TINGS GOT LOST OR DESTROYED.

I DON'T CARE HOW MANY SEARCHES WERE MADE OF PEARL,

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE ONE MORE. COME ON, LET'S GO.

FRANK.

STEVE, THIS IS CHIN.

YEAH, GO AHEAD, CHIN.

I CHECKED THE MAJOR AIRLINES.

NO RESERVATIONS IN THE NAME OF PROFESSOR D. BURKE.

PUT A TAIL ON HIM RIGHT AWAY, CHIN.

RIGHT.

WELL, THAT CLINCHES IT.

BURKE IS LYING. PARMEL HAS CONTACTED HIM.

PEKING MAN IS ABOUT TO CHANGE HANDS.

[ BAND PLAYING MARCHING MUSIC ]

NO, NOTHING SO FAR, DANNY.

IS THIS SOMETHING, SIR? B COMPANY, THIRD BATTALION.

LET'S SEE.

IT SURE IS. THANK YOU.

COME IN.

STEVE.

WHAT DO YOU GOT?

LISTED ARTICLES OF GOVERNMENT AND PERSONAL EQUIPMENT.

CLOTHING AND SUPPLIES ASSIGNED TO SUPPLY SHED D

PENDING DISPOSITION TO APPROPRIATE PERSONS

AND DESTINATIONS, BY ORDER OF SERGEANT R.E. PARMEL

FOR LIEUTENANT G.G. GROVES.

PARMEL.

DESCRIPTION OF ARTICLES -- MISCELLANEOUS.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, COLONEL?

BY THEN B COMPANY WAS SPREAD OUT OVER THE PACIFIC.

SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN EQUIPMENT THAT NEVER CAUGHT UP WITH THEM.

WHERE IS SUPPLY SHED D?

JUST WHERE YOU'D EXPECT IN THE CORPS, RIGHT AFTER H.

[ CHUCKLES ] LET'S GO.

CORPORAL SCOTT.

OPEN UP.

SERGEANT MAJOR, START THE SEARCH.

STEVE.

I FOUND PARMEL'S FOOTLOCKER, AND, UH, JONES AND GRADY.

WE'VE GOT REPORTS ON THEM. THEY WERE KILLED IN ACTION.

COLONEL, HAVE YOU GOT SOMETHING TO CUT THIS LOCK WITH?

SERGEANT MAJOR, BOLT-CUTTERS, PLEASE.

PARMEL, JONES, AND GRADY.

OH, THANK YOU. DANO.

GO AHEAD.

THE PEKING MAN.

THINK SO?

THEN HOW COME HE'S GOT A BULLET HOLE IN HIS HEAD?

FROM GRAVES REGISTRATION, SIR.

THANK YOU.

GRAVES REGISTRATION CONFIRMS

YOUR FATHER'S BURIAL HERE, MISS CROWE.

OF COURSE, YOU KNEW THAT ALREADY.

BUT THESE FORMALITIES MUST BE GONE THROUGH.

OH, I UNDERSTAND.

NOW, YOU'RE REQUESTING

THAT YOUR FATHER'S REMAINS BE EXHUMED AND TRANSFERRED

TO THE WESTLAND SOCIETY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

AT LONG BEACH FOR REBURIAL.

YES, PLEASE.

WELL, I DON'T SEE WHY YOUR REQUEST SHOULD BE DENIED,

BUT THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PAPERWORK.

VERIFICATIONS, THAT SORT OF THING.

BUT IF YOU'LL JUST LEAVE ME YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS

AND WHERE I CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU

ONCE I RECEIVE OFFICIAL APPROVAL.

[ BAND PLAYING MARCHING MUSIC ]

I THINK WE CAN ASSUME THAT THOSE FOOTLOCKERS

CONTAIN THE REMAINS OF A UNITED STATES MARINE.

PROBABLY KILLED ON THE ATTACK AT PEARL HARBOR.

WAIT A MINUTE.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. WHY DIDN'T THEY BURY HIM?

LET'S PUT OURSELVES INSIDE PARMEL'S HEAD.

HE'S GOT A CRATE CONTAINING SOME RARE

AND EXTREMELY VALUABLE FOSSILS.

NOW, IF HE CAN HOLD ONTO THEM UNTIL AFTER THE WAR,

THEY COULD BE WORTH A LOT OF MONEY.

THEN THE QUESTION IS HOW IS PARMEL GOING TO HIDE THE FOSSILS

UNTIL HE CAN DISPOSE OF THEM HIMSELF?

OKAY, HOW ABOUT THE FOOTLOCKERS?

ONE BELONGING TO HIM,

TWO TO MEN IN HIS SQUAD WHO ARE DEAD.

SO HE SHOVES THE FOSSILS IN THE FOOTLOCKER, BURNS THE CRATE.

THERE'S NO CRATE, THERE'S NO WAY TO TRACE THE FOSSILS.

THE TWO DEAD MARINES AREN'T LIKELY TO COME BACK

LOOKING FOR THEIR FOOTLOCKERS.

BUT THAT BRINGS ON THE NEXT QUESTION.

WHY AREN'T THERE ANY FOSSILS IN THE FOOTLOCKERS?

MY GUESS

IS THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO EXACTLY THAT.

PUT THE REMAINS OF PEKING MAN IN THOSE FOOTLOCKERS,

AND THEN HE GOT A BETTER IDEA.

HAVE WE GOT PARMEL'S SERVICE RECORD WITH US?

YEAH, RIGHT HERE.

LET'S SEE, DATE OF ENLISTMENT,

FIRST ASSIGNMENT, REASSIGNM--

B COMPANY, FIRST BATTALION.

RETURNED HONOLULU 5 DECEMBER 1941.

REASSIGNED 9 DECEMBER --

9th OF DECEMBER, 1941.

THAT'S TWO DAYS AFTER PEARL HARBOR.

TO COMPANY A, FIRST BATTALION...

AND PLACED IN CHARGE OF BURIAL DETAIL.

DOES THAT SUGGEST ANYTHING TO YOU, GENTLEMEN?

IT SURE DOES.

THE REMAINS OF THE CORPSE IN THOSE FOOTLOCKERS --

WAS SWITCHED. SWITCHED.

AND PEKING MAN IS NOW BURIED

IN THE GRAVE OF THAT MARINE UNDER HIS HEADSTONE.

BURIED THERE AT THE DIRECTION OF SERGEANT PARMEL.

LET'S GO FIND OUT.

[ PHONE RINGING ]

YES?

OKAY, PROFESSOR, WE'RE ALMOST READY TO MOVE.

YOU HAVE THE FOSSILS?

I'VE ALWAYS HAD THE FOSSILS.

RIGHT ABOUT NOW, I'M ABOUT READY TO LET YOU HAVE THEM.

WHERE? WHEN?

RIGHT NOW, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHERE.

THE WESTLAND SOCIETY'S CREMATORIUM,

LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA.

-CREMATORIUM? -THAT'S RIGHT, PROFESSOR.

UNLESS YOU'RE THERE WITH THE REST OF THE $80,000

WHEN I TELL YOU TO GET THERE,

THOSE OLD BONES ARE GOING TO BE CREMATED TO A CINDER,

FLOWN OUT TO SEA, AND DUMPED.

I'LL BE THERE. JUST TELL ME WHEN.

YOU JUST SIT TIGHT.

WHEN I TELL YOU, "GO,"

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE 36 HOURS TO GET TO LONG BEACH,

PAY ME WHAT YOU OWE ME, AND COLLECT YOUR BONES.

SO YOU JUST SIT THERE BY YOUR TELEPHONE, PROFESSOR,

BECAUSE THAT METER STARTS TICKING

THE SECOND I SAY, "GO."

[ CLICK ]

[ HANGS UP PHONE ]

CHIN, ANYTHING ON BURKE?

STILL KEEPING QUIET, STEVE.

HASN'T MADE A MOVE.

THAT MEANS THOSE BONES ARE STILL IN THE GROUND SOMEWHERE.

WHAT ABOUT THE APB ON PARMEL?

NOTHING. HE'S PLAYING IT VERY COOL, VERY CAREFUL.

WELL, HE'S HAD 34 YEARS TO PLAN HIS MOVES.

BUT HOW'S HE PLANNING TO DIG UP THOSE FOSSILS?

HE CAN'T JUST DRIVE A U-HAUL INTO A NATIONAL CEMETERY

AND DIG UP A COFFIN.

NO.

BUT THERE IS ONE WAY TO DO IT.

[ SNAPS FINGERS ]

YOU DO IT IN BROAD DAYLIGHT,

IN FRONT OF WITNESSES, AND AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE.

YOU JUST SAY, "PLEASE."

-LEGAL EXHUMATION? -YOU GUESSED IT.

CHIN, I WANNA KNOW HOW MANY REQUESTS

HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS

FOR EXHUMATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF REBURIAL ELSEWHERE.

NOW, ONE OF THOSE GRAVES HAS THE BONES OF PEKING MAN IN IT,

AND I'LL BET --

I'LL BET YOU

THAT THAT'S HOW PARMEL PLANS TO GET HOLD OF THEM.

STEVE, THERE HAVE BEEN THREE REQUESTS FOR REBURIAL

SINCE THE 18th OF THIS MONTH.

THE NAMES ARE RODZINSKI, CROWE, EDGARTON.

CROWE?

HOLD IT, CHIN.

DANVERS MENTIONED A CROWE, ED CROWE, A CORPORAL.

ASSISTANT SQUAD LEADER. A BUDDY OF PARMEL'S.

CHIN, WOULD THAT BE ED CROWE?

EDWARD ANDREW CROWE, STEVE.

THAT'S THE ONE.

WAS HE KILLED IN ACTION?

YEAH, STEVE.

STRAFED FROM THE AIR ON DECEMBER 7, 1941.

HAS THE EXHUMATION REQUEST FOR CROWE BEEN APPROVED?

YEAH, STEVE, HIS DAUGHTER'S EXPECTED HERE

SOMETIME THIS AFTERNOON TO SIGN THE FINAL PAPERS.

ALL RIGHT, CHIN, LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY.

YOU STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE UNTIL THE LADY SHOWS UP.

WHEN SHE LEAVES, TAIL HER. DON'T LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT.

SHE MAY LEAD US TO PARMEL AND TO THE BONES.

OKAY.

DANO, HAVE CHE GET ED CROWE'S DENTAL RECORDS.

I'D LIKE A COMPARISON

WITH THE TEETH IN THAT SKULL WE FOUND IN THE FOOTLOCKER.

ON MY WAY.

SOMETHING'S WRONG.

-WHAT'S WRONG? -I DON'T KNOW.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO SIGN THE FINAL PAPERS THIS AFTERNOON,

BUT WHEN I WENT, THE GUY SAID THERE'D BEEN A HITCH.

-WHAT KIND OF HITCH? -I DON'T KNOW.

SOMETHING ABOUT A RELATIVE --

WHAT RELATIVE? THAT'S BULL!

ED CROWE GREW UP IN AN ORPHAN ASYLUM.

I KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM.

CHE.

THE MAN WAS CROWE, STEVE.

THE DENTAL CHART CONFIRMED IT.

DANO, CALL MANICOTE.

GET AN EXHUMATION ORDER IN THE WORKS.

GOOD WORK, CHE.

OKAY, STEVE, THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION OKAYED THE ORDER.

YOU CAN DIG.

ONLY, STEVE, IT HAD BETTER BE THE FOSSILS.

THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT IT.

OPEN IT.

PEKING MAN NEVER WORE A G.I. UNIFORM.

THOSE ARE RIBBONS FROM THE KOREAN WAR.

HE SWITCHED GRAVE MARKERS ON US,

AND THAT RAINSTORM LAST NIGHT

WASHED AWAY ANY CHANCE WE MIGHT HAVE OF SPOTTING THE SWITCH.

STEVE, PROFESSOR BURKE IS HERE.

PROFESSOR.

MR. McGARRETT, I THOUGHT I EXPLAINED TO YOU

THAT I WAS ABANDONING MY INVESTIGATION.

AND LEAVING ON THE NEXT AVAILABLE FLIGHT IF YOU RECALL.

SURELY, YOU COULD HAVE FOUND ONE OUT OF HAWAII

IN THE LAST 36 HOURS.

HERE THEY ARE, STEVE.

THE LADY IS JO ANN SUMMERVILLE.

SHE POSED AS CORPORAL CROWE'S DAUGHTER.

AND I THINK YOU KNOW MARO SUNYAKO.

OH, I DO INDEED.

UP TO YOUR OLD PURSUITS, I TAKE IT, SUNYAKO.

PANDERING, FORGING.

I RESENT THE INFERENCE. UNLESS YOU'RE ARRESTING --

I RESENT BEING HERDED IN HERE

AND FORCED TO STAND ABOUT WITH COMMON CRIMINALS.

WELL, RIGHT NOW, I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN PARMEL,

AND YOU THREE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN HELP ME FIND HIM,

AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO.

OR, SO HELP ME,

I WILL FIND WAYS TO PUT YOU AWAY

FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

NOW, IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?

ARE WE READY TO COOPERATE?

WAS THAT PARMEL?

YES.

CHIN...

COME WITH ME.

MAY, SLIDE IN HERE.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE PROFESSOR.

GREETINGS.

ALL RIGHT, I GOT YOUR MESSAGE. WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

FREEZE.

WHERE'S THE REST OF YOUR PLATOON?

OUT DIGGING FOXHOLES IN THE ALLEY?

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST, PARMEL.

SO, I'M UNDER ARREST. WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

YOU'LL BE TRIED FOR THE MURDER OF SOUTHWOOD.

YOU GO BACK TO SAN QUENTIN TO FINISH YOUR SENTENCE.

WHICH IS LIFE.

WHAT DO I GET FOR KILLING SOUTHWOOD? MORE LIFE?

PROFESSOR, LET ME CLUE YOU IN.

YOU STILL WANT THOSE BONES?

OF COURSE I DO. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

YOU'D BETTER HAVE A NICE, QUIET TALK

WITH THIS THICKHEADED COP HERE.

I'M THE ONLY GUY WHO KNOWS WHERE THOSE BONES ARE.

WHERE THEY ARE IS WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO STAY.

UNLESS I WALK OUT OF HERE WITH $80,000 IN MY POCKET

AND A FULL PARDON.

MR. McGARRETT.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

MR. McGARRETT. WHAT -- DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?

GO HOME, PROFESSOR.

ALL RIGHT.

HELLO, OPERATOR?

I WANT TO PLACE A LONG-DISTANCE TELEPHONE CALL,

STATE DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D.C.,

PERSON-TO-PERSON TO MR. JONATHAN KAYE.

202-655-4000.

WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH JONATHAN KAYE?

JONATHAN, THE MAN IS A CONVICTED KILLER,

A PRISON ESCAPEE, AND A SUSPECT

IN ANOTHER MURDER HERE IN HONOLULU.

HE'S ALSO THE ONLY PERSON WHO KNOWS WHERE PEKING MAN IS.

I KNOW WHERE PEKING MAN IS.

HE'S BURIED IN THE NATIONAL CEMETERY.

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE.

NO, I DON'T KNOW WHERE, BUT MAYBE I CAN FIND OUT.

HOW? BY OPENING EVERY GRAVE THERE?

I DON'T KNOW YET, JONATHAN.

THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN PROTESTS.

WHEN YOU OPENED THAT GRAVE THE OTHER DAY,

IT HIT THE WIRE SERVICES.

VETERANS' FAMILIES HAVE BEEN SENDING TELEGRAMS

TO THEIR CONGRESSMEN.

THEY THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DIG UP EVERY GRAVE IN THE CEMETERY.

STEVE, I UNDERSTAND YOUR PROBLEM.

DO YOU?

AND YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND OURS.

WE'VE GOT TO WEIGH THE RELATIVE VALUE AND IMPORTANCE OF PARMEL

AGAINST OUR DEVELOPING RELATIONS WITH CHINA.

WHICH YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY ALREADY DONE.

I THINK IT'S BEEN DONE WITHOUT EITHER OF US.

ONE MAN

AGAINST THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES?

JONATHAN, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT COMMUNIST CHINA,

AND I WILL NOT BARGAIN WITH PARMEL.

BE REASONABLE, STEVE.

LOOK,

SUPPOSE I MAKE A BARGAIN WITH YOU?

WHAT KIND OF BARGAIN?

I'LL GIVE YOU THE REST OF THE DAY.

I'VE GOT TO FLY OUT OF HERE BY 10:30 TONIGHT.

FIND PEKING MAN BY THAT TIME,

AND PARMEL GETS WHAT'S COMING TO HIM.

OTHERWISE, I'LL HAVE TO FOLLOW ORDERS.

OKAY, YOU'VE GOT A DEAL. BY 10:00 TONIGHT.

THIS IS THE GRAVE WE OPENED.

NOW, HOW DO WE FIND THE RIGHT ONE?

ANY IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS, NOTIONS, HUNCHES?

WELL, AREN'T THEY NUMBERED, STEVE?

DOESN'T THE CORPS HAVE A RECORD?

IT'S INACCURATE, CHIN. WE CHECKED THE RECORD.

ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, GRAVES REGISTRATION

BEGAN A REARRANGEMENT OF THE CEMETERY.

THEY MOVED ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE PLOTS,

AND THEN THE PLAN WAS ABANDONED. ALL WE'VE GOT LEFT IS A MESS.

IT CAN'T BE VERY FAR FROM THE GRAVE WE DUG UP.

I MEAN, SHIFTING MARKERS IS KIND OF CONSPICUOUS, ISN'T IT?

IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE AT NIGHT.

COULD WE DIG UP ONE OR TWO IN THE SAME AREA?

CHIN, RIGHT NOW THEY'D BE ON OUR BACKS

IF WE DUG UP A HANDFUL OF WEEDS.

ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN,

EVERY GRAVE IN THAT CEMETERY

HAS THE BODY OF A SERVICEMAN IN IT EXCEPT ONE.

NOW, WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THAT ONE,

AND HOW DO WE FIND THAT DIFFERENCE?

PUT YOUR MINDS TO IT.

WHAT'S IN THAT COFFIN

THAT IS NOT IN ANY OF THE OTHERS?

STEVE, HOW ABOUT ASKING IT THE OTHER WAY?

WHAT'S IN ALL THE OTHER COFFINS

THAT ISN'T IN THE ONE WE'RE LOOKING FOR?

WHAT?

BELT BUCKLES, BUTTONS, SHRAPNEL, MAYBE.

DENTAL FILLINGS, DOG TAGS, RINGS.

METAL. METAL. I THINK YOU'VE GOT IT, DANO.

THERE IS NO METAL IN PEKING MAN OR ON HIM.

-JENNY? -YES, SIR.

GET ME MARINE HEADQUARTERS AT CAMP SMITH, PLEASE.

NO. NEXT ONE.

STOP.

-WHAT HAVE YOU GOT, CHE? -HOLD IT, STEVE.

NOW, VERY CAREFULLY, ALL THE WAY AROUND THE EDGES.

NOW DEAD CENTER.

STEVE, THIS COFFIN HAS METAL ALL THE WAY AROUND ITS PERIMETER.

PROBABLY NAILS. NO OTHER METAL.

AND NOTHING IN THE CENTER?

NOTHING.

JONATHAN, THAT'S IT.

ALL RIGHT, STEVE.

DIG IT UP.

OPEN IT.

HOLD IT.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, JONATHAN?

STEVE, I WANT THIS CASKET SEALED

AND SENT BACK TO WASHINGTON WITH ME.

-MR. KAYE, WE HAVE SPENT -- -HOLD IT.

MY ORDERS ARE TO HAVE THE CONTENTS EXAMINED AND TESTED

UNDER GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION IN WASHINGTON

AND ITS PROPER OWNERSHIP ESTABLISHED.

DOCTOR, I'D LIKE YOU TO COME BACK WITH ME.

WHAT ABOUT PARMEL?

HE'S ALL YOURS, STEVE.

BOOK HIM, CHIN.

IF PEKING MAN REALLY IS IN THERE,

HOW OLD WOULD YOU SAY HE IS, STEVE?

500,000 YEARS, GIVE OR TAKE A FEW THOU.

I THINK WE PUT A NEW RECORD ON THE BOOKS.

YEAH, COULD BE THE OLDEST MISSING-PERSON CASE IN HISTORY.
