[ HORSE NEIGHS ]

THE DECEASED WAS FULL OF CHLORAL HYDRATE,

AND THE HORSE WAS FEELING NO PAIN.

YOU MEAN THE HORSE WAS DRUGGED, TOO?

IT'S BEEN SO LONG.

WE HAVE TEENAGE MEMORIES.

A HUNDRED-THOUSAND DOLLARS WOULD GO A LONG WAY

TO MAKING UP FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS.

"STRANGE JOURNEY FROM MOROVILLE, IDAHO," AS SOMEONE ONCE SAID.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ "HAWAII FIVE-O" THEME PLAYS ]

WHY ME, STEVE?

'CAUSE I WANT THE BEST SPEAKER AVAILABLE

FOR THE POLICE GRADUATION LUNCHEON.

I NEVER LEARNED PUBLIC SPEAKING.

THAT'S WHY I WANT YOU.

WE WON'T HAVE A CLICHé-LADEN LUNCHEON.

[ LAUGHS ]

YOU FLATTER ME.

BUT I DON'T THINK I'M QUALIFIED.

AW, DAVE, OF COURSE YOU ARE.

YOU STUDIED AT THE FBI ACADEMY AFTER YOU GOT OUT OF LAW SCHOOL,

AND YOU'RE GONNA BE OUR NEXT SENATOR.

I WISH I HAD YOUR KIND OF CONFIDENCE.

IT'S A ROTTEN BUSINESS, DAVE, POLITICS.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'D WANT ANY PART OF IT.

BUT YOU'VE GOT MY VOTE.

YOU SHOULD BE MY CAMPAIGN MANAGER.

NO, NO, THANKS. I'VE GOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS RIGHT WHERE I AM.

WHEN DID YOU SAY THIS GRADUATION WAS?

NEXT FRIDAY.

THAT'S ONLY A WEEK AND A HALF BEFORE ELECTION.

I HAVE A VERY HECTIC SCHEDULE.

DAVE, CONSIDER IT FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW.

NEWSPAPERS HAVE GUARANTEED FULL COVERAGE,

AND TV STATIONS WILL CARRY IT STATEWIDE.

NOW, THAT KIND OF COVERAGE CAN NEVER HURT A CANDIDATE.

OKAY, STEVE, I'LL MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU.

I'LL SPEAK AT THE GRADUATION BANQUET ON TWO CONDITIONS.

NAME THEM.

NO CREAMED CHICKEN AND PEAS,

AND GIVE ME A LIFT HOME.

MY CAR'S IN THE SHOP.

YOU GOT THEM.

SENATOR.

IT'S BEEN A STRANGE JOURNEY, STEVE,

FROM A LITTLE TOWN IN IDAHO TO HERE, NOW MAYBE WASHINGTON.

YOU'D HAVE TO BE A CLAIRVOYANT TO SEE ALL THAT 20 YEARS AGO.

YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T SEE IT?

NO. BUT SOMEBODY DID.

OH, YEAH. HOW'S YOUR MARGOT TAKING IT?

THE USUAL COMPOSURE.

AND SHE'S RIGHT NOT TO GO UP INTO THE STRATOSPHERE.

THE POLLS RIGHT NOW ARE NIP AND TUCK.

DON'T FORGET YOU'RE FIGHTING AN INCUMBENT.

YOU KNOW LORI.

OF COURSE I DO.

HI, MR. LAWRENCE.

HELLO, LORI. KEEP YOU WAITING?

I WAS JUST STANDING HERE, QUIETLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT YOUR MAJORITY'S GOING TO BE.

- [ LAUGHS ] - WE MIGHT EVEN VOTE FOR YOU.

- [ LAUGHS ] - I'M DEPENDING ON IT.

THANK YOU.

WELL, THANKS FOR THE LIFT.

OH, INCIDENTALLY, I STILL GO HORSEBACK RIDING EVERY MORNING,

AND YOU'RE STILL INVITED.

YOU TOO, LORI.

THE MAUNA LOA ACADEMY OUT IN WAHIAWA.

HOLD IT JUST A MINUTE, DAVE.

[ TIRES SCREECHING ]

- ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? - YEAH, I'M OKAY.

YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN FOLLOWING US.

DID YOU GET A GOOD LOOK AT HIM?

- NO. - LORI?

NO.

I REMEMBER SPOTTING HIM IN THAT PARKING LOT DOWNTOWN.

HE HAD A SLIGHT LIMP.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME IN?

NO, THANK YOU, MARGOT.

I'VE GOT TO TAKE LORI HOME.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE US. THANKS VERY MUCH.

GOOD MORNING.

IT'S 76 DEGREES IN HONOLULU,

GOING TO AN EXPECTED HIGH OF 83 DEGREES.

WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST

TO BRING YOU THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL BULLETIN

FROM OUR ON-THE-SCENE REPORTER.

THIS IS YOUR KGMB MOBILE UNIT ON THE SCENE,

WHERE A MAN AND HORSE,

IN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT,

PLUNGED DOWN THE STEEP MOUNTAINSIDE THIS MORNING

TO THEIR DEATHS.

THE MEDICS ARE ARRIVING,

AND PERHAPS WE'LL GET SOME CLUE TO THIS UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT,

SOME THEORY TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED

AT THE MAUNA LOA RIDING ACADEMY TRAILS ON HEATHER DRIVE.

NO IDENTIFICATION HAS BEEN FOUND ON THE DEAD MAN.

NOW BACK TO OUR STUDIO.

HOLD IT A SECOND, PLEASE. I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK.

IT'S NOT PRETTY.

HOLD IT, GUYS.

[ SIGHS ]

THE RADIO SAID NO I.D.

HOW ABOUT "JACK SMITH," LORI? NOT ON HIM.

THERE'S NOTHING ON HIM --

NO WALLET, NO CARDS, NO PAPERS.

BUT WHEN HE WENT TO THE STABLES,

THE SIGN-UP FORM, THAT'S THE NAME HE GAVE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

HORSE BOLTED, I GUESS.

THAT RIDING TRAIL IS LINED WITH TREES AND BRUSH,

BUT WHEN THAT HORSE CAME THROUGH, IT WAS LIKE TALL GRASS.

OUTDOOR TYPE, MIDDLE 40s,

BUT IT'S NOT THE HAWAIIAN SUN ON HIS FACE.

BEN SAYS WIND, LONG EXPOSURE.

COULD HE HAVE HAD A LIMP?

Left leg's an inch shorter than the right.

The shinbone was crushed in two places.

COMPOUND FRACTURES ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD

AND OTHER EVIDENCE

OF, UH, BROKEN BONES -- SHOULDER, WRIST.

RODEO RIDER. BRONC BUSTER MAYBE.

But if he was a rodeo hand, you'd think he'd be able

to handle his horse better than that.

OKAY, LORI, STAY THERE.

SEE WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH.

Right.

WE'D LIKE A REPORT ON THE HORSE, TOO, BEN.

THE HORSE? THEY MUST BE NUTS.

[ LAUGHS ]

I HEARD THE ROVING REPORTER ON THE CAR RADIO,

AND I DETOURED TO TAKE A LOOK.

I REMEMBERED YOUR RIDING ACADEMY UP ON MAUNA LOA.

I HEARD THE REPORTS.

IT WAS A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

DID YOU TELL STEVE ALL ABOUT THIS?

HE WONDERED IF YOU WENT RIDING THIS MORNING.

YES, I DID.

AND THAT'S WHY YOU WANTED TO HAVE LUNCH WITH ME.

WELL, IT IS KIND OF AN ODD COINCIDENCE.

YES.

I CAN SEE THAT.

I WAS THERE, LORI.

I SAW IT HAPPEN.

I MIGHT HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS DEATH.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I WAS COMING BACK UP THE TRAIL AFTER MY RIDE.

HE WAS RIDING TOWARD ME.

THERE WAS SOMETHING FUNNY.

LOOKED OUT OF CONTROL.

[ HORSE NEIGHS ]

IF I HADN'T HESITATED...

JUST THAT SECOND OR TWO...

THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED REACTION TIME, YOU KNOW?

I WOULDN'T HAVE HESITATED A MILLIONTH OF A SECOND

IF IT WERE MARGOT.

THAT'S INSTINCTIVE...

WHATEVER INSTINCTS REALLY ARE.

WELL, WHY DIDN'T I REACT WITH MY INSTINCT THEN?

OR AS I SAT THERE FROZEN,

DID I BELIEVE IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF I DID REACH HIM,

IF I DID TRY TO PULL UP THAT CRAZY HORSE?

I COULD HAVE GONE OVER THE CLIFF WITH HIM.

WAS I AFRAID?

IS THAT WHAT HELD ME BACK, LORI?

DID YOU RECOGNIZE THE MAN?

NO. WHY?

I THINK HE WAS THE MAN WHO WAS FOLLOWING US YESTERDAY,

THE MAN WITH THE LIMP.

WHO WAS HE?

HAVE YOU IDENTIFIED HIM?

WE'RE INVESTIGATING.

NO PRINTS ON FILE IN WASHINGTON?

ISN'T THAT UNUSUAL, LIEUTENANT?

OKAY. I APPRECIATE THAT.

LIEUTENANT AKANE?

RIGHT.

HE SAID YOU GOT EVERYTHING AT THE RIDING ACADEMY HE DID --

"EVERYTHING" BEING THE NAME OF THE DECEASED, JACK SMITH.

HMM.

YOU KNOW, THERE WAS REALLY A GOOD HUNCH STEVE HAD

ABOUT, UH, JACK SMITH BEING TOO OBVIOUS TO BE AN ALIAS.

HMM.

WHAT ABOUT THE AIRLINES?

YEAH. SMITH CAME IN ON FLIGHT 247

FROM SAN FRANCISCO YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

AND THE CAR?

DARK-GREEN SEDAN RENTED AT THE AIRPORT TO JACK SMITH.

DID HE USE A CREDIT CARD?

CASH.

STEVE AND DUKE ARE WAITING FOR US.

- WHERE? - ROYAL PALM MOTEL.

ALL RIGHT. OH, MY PURSE.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S THE CAR THAT WAS FOLLOWING US YESTERDAY.

FIND ANYTHING, STEVE?

NOT MUCH.

DUKE FOUND A ROUND-TRIP BUS TICKET.

MOROVILLE. WHERE'S THAT?

I CALLED THE BUS COMPANY. THAT'S A LITTLE TOWN IN IDAHO.

IDAHO? DOES THAT MEAN ANYTHING, STEVE?

OH, MAYBE.

JACK SMITH -- I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NAME,

BUT APPARENTLY, IT'S HIS REAL ONE --

HE TAKES A BUS FROM MOROVILLE, SAN FRANCISCO, AND A PLANE HERE,

AND THEN A CAR TO DAVE LAWRENCE'S HOUSE.

BUT HE TAKES OFF LIKE A RABBIT

AND TRIES TO RUN ME DOWN

WHEN HE REALIZES I SPOTTED HIM TAILING US.

THE SAME JACK SMITH HIRES A HORSE

AT THE MAUNA LOA RIDING ACADEMY THIS MORNING.

WHERE DAVE LAWRENCE RIDES OFTEN

AND WHERE, IN A BIZARRE ACCIDENT,

SMITH IS FOUND DEAD WITH ALL HIS I.D. MISSING.

HELLO, MR. McGARRETT.

HI, LIEUTENANT. ANYTHING?

YOU DIDN'T GET THE CORONER'S REPORT?

- NO. MURDER? - YEP.

THE DECEASED WAS FULL OF CHLORAL HYDRATE,

AND THE HORSE WAS FEELING NO PAIN.

YOU MEAN THE HORSE WAS DRUGGED?

NO QUESTION.

THAT HORSE'S BLOODSTREAM

WAS LOADED WITH A POWERFUL AMPHETAMINE,

AND WE PICKED UP SOME HEAVY SUGAR CONTENT.

PROBABLY SOAKED IN SUGAR CUBES, HUH?

RIGHT.

BUT WHAT SPOOKED THE HORSE WAS A DEEP JAB IN ITS RUMP

WITH A SHARP INSTRUMENT THAT PIERCED ITS HIDE.

"STRANGE JOURNEY FROM MOROVILLE, IDAHO," AS SOMEONE ONCE SAID.

YOU TOLD STEVE IT WAS A STRANGE JOURNEY

FROM A LITTLE TOWN IN IDAHO.

WHAT LITTLE TOWN, MR. LAWRENCE?

WHY DO YOU ASK?

JACK SMITH, THE MAN WHO RODE TO HIS DEATH,

WAS ALSO FROM A LITTLE TOWN IN IDAHO -- MOROVILLE.

SO YOU DID TRACK HIM DOWN?

I WAS BORN IN MOROVILLE.

YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM.

I DIDN'T...

NOT WHEN HE DROVE BY IN HIS CAR THE OTHER EVENING.

BUT YOU RECOGNIZED HIM AT THE ACADEMY, DIDN'T YOU?

YES.

BY THEN, I KNEW WHO SMITH WAS.

WHEN YOU AND STEVE DROPPED ME OFF AT HOME...

I HAD SOME READING TO DO.

[ KNOCK AT DOOR ]

WHO COULD THAT BE?

I DON'T KNOW.

YES?

SO YOU'RE DAVID LAWRENCE.

YES. CAN I HELP YOU?

I'M JACK SMITH.

I'M EVA'S HUSBAND.

EVA?

EVA PRITCHARD?

NO.

EVA SMITH NOW.

HOW IS SHE?

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

SURE. SURE, SHE'S ALL RIGHT.

NOT LIVING AS GOOD AS YOU.

MAYBE THAT'LL ALL CHANGE NOW.

A HUNDRED-THOUSAND DOLLARS WOULD GO A LONG WAY

TO MAKING UP FOR THESE -- FOR THESE PAST 20 YEARS.

WHAT I HALF-SUSPECTED ALL THESE YEARS

I FINALLY DRAGGED OUT OF EVA, HUH?

WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE WE MET,

BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED.

NOW, IF YOU WANT ALL OF THAT TO HIT THE FAN,

THAT'S OKAY WITH ME.

FOR A HUNDRED BIG ONES, I GO BACK TO THE MOUNTAINS

AND -- AND EVA AND YOU GO ON TO WASHINGTON

AND BE THE BIG-SHOT SENATOR AS IF --

AS IF I NEVER FOUND OUT.

BLACKMAIL?

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO.

I CALL IT PAYMENT FOR 20 YEARS OF SILENCE.

NO.

WHAT?!

NO!

I WON'T BE BLACKMAILED.

I WONDER WHAT IT WOULD, UH, BE WORTH

TO THE GUY THAT'S RUNNING AGAINST YOU.

GET OUT.

[ LAUGHS ]

HE HASN'T THOUGHT IT ALL OUT YET.

I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS.

WELL, NOW IT'S DIFFERENT, LAWRENCE.

NOW IT'S NOT JUST YOUR CONSCIENCE ABOUT A FELONY.

NOW YOU --

NOW YOU HAVE A WIFE

AND A CUSHY LAW PRACTICE

AND GETTING ELECTED SENATOR

SO YOU CAN HAVE BREAKFAST WITH THE PRESIDENT, HMM?

ALL THAT'S OUT THE WINDOW, IF --

GET OUT.

TALK IT OVER WITH THE MISSUS...

LAWRENCE.

[ LAUGHS ]

SLEEP ON IT.

[ LAUGHS ]

WHO'S EVA?

A GIRL...

A YOUNG WOMAN I KNEW A LONG TIME AGO.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HER OR SPOKEN TO HER IN OVER 20 YEARS.

THE BLACKMAIL INVOLVES HER?

AND ME.

HE MUST HAVE FOLLOWED ME TO THE RIDING ACADEMY YESTERDAY MORNING

TO PRESS THE BLACKMAIL.

WHEN I SAW HIS HORSE RUNNING ACROSS THAT CLEARING...

MAYBE I WANTED HIM TO DIE.

MAYBE THAT'S WHY I FROZE THAT HALF SECOND,

SO IT WOULD BE TOO LATE.

DAVE TOLD ME ABOUT SMITH THAT NIGHT.

I SEE. WHO ELSE DID YOU TELL?

I CALLED THREE OF OUR PARTY MEN --

PHIL McCORKENDALE, OUR LABOR MAN,

GEORGE SULIEMAN, FINANCIAL MAN, FUNDRAISER,

WINNIE WINSTON, STATE CHAIRMAN.

THEY ALL CAME TO MY HOUSE THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST.

I TOLD THEM THAT A 20-YEAR-OLD SCANDAL WAS ABOUT TO BREAK

BECAUSE I HAD JUST TURNED DOWN A BLACKMAIL THREAT,

AND I SAID THAT I WAS GOING TO WITHDRAW MY NAME AS A CANDIDATE

BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO EMBARRASS MY PARTY

OR MY LAW ASSOCIATE.

THEY COULDN'T LET DAVE QUIT.

THEY SAID IT WAS TOO LATE.

THEY WERE COMMITTED TO HIM.

DID YOU TELL THEM WHAT THE SCANDAL WAS ABOUT?

NO.

WHAT WAS IT, MR. LAWRENCE?

WELL, WHATEVER IT WAS IS ACADEMIC NOW. SMITH'S DEAD.

MR. LAWRENCE, WHAT HAPPENED 20 YEARS AGO?

IT'S DONE, FINISHED.

NO, IT ISN'T.

A MAN WAS MURDERED, AND THERE'S NOTHING ACADEMIC ABOUT THAT.

THEN AFTER A HALF-HOUR ARGUMENT WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY,

HE AGREED TO HOLD OFF 24 HOURS.

THAT DOESN'T GIVE KIMO A LOT OF TIME.

MORE THAN WE THOUGHT WE'D GET.

D.A. HAD A POINT, STEVE.

HE SAID FROM ALL THE EVIDENCE SO FAR,

NOT ONLY IS DAVID LAWRENCE WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE,

HE'S UNCOOPERATIVE.

YEAH, WELL, THAT'S A MATTER OF OPINION.

BUT I THINK THAT'S WHY HE'S GIVING US THE EXTRA 24 HOURS.

HE'S AS CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN MOROVILLE, IDAHO,

20 YEARS AGO AS WE ARE.

BESIDES, HE'S UP FOR RE-ELECTION.

HE'S PLAYING IT SAFE.

DO YOU THINK THEY'LL EVER SEPARATE

LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM POLITICS?

NEVER.

YOU'RE A CYNIC, STEVE.

RIGHT. VIRTUE IS THE ONLY GOOD,

AND SELF-CONTROL THE ONLY MEANS OF ACHIEVING VIRTUE.

WHO SAID THAT?

THE ORIGINAL CYNIC, ANTHISTHENES OF ATHENS.

WHO ELSE COULD GET AWAY WITH IT?

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

DID YOU FIND WHAT YOU WAS LOOKING FOR?

UH, JUST THE VITAL STATISTICS.

DAVID LAWRENCE, BORN JUNE 29, 1937,

TO SARAH AND EUGENE LAWRENCE IN MOROVILLE.

[ CHUCKLES ] POPULATION WAS 632 THEN.

UH, YOU DON'T, UH -- YOU DON'T REMEMBER ANY, UH --

ANY EVENT, SCANDAL, OR AN ACCIDENT

INVOLVING DAVID LAWRENCE HERE, DO YOU?

I'M SORRY.

THIS IS RANGE COUNTRY, ISN'T IT?

YEAH.

UH, MAYBE SOMETHING, UH, OUTSIDE OF TOWN.

I DON'T KNOW ANY LAWRENCE FAMILY.

SAY, YOU MIGHT DO BETTER OVER AT THE PAPER.

UH, SARAH MAY'S DONE LIVED HERE MOST ALL HER LIFE.

OKAY. THANKS A LOT.

SURE, I KNEW ABOUT THE BLACKMAIL ATTEMPT,

BUT LAWRENCE IS MY UNION'S MAN,

AND WE CAN'T VERY WELL SWITCH HORSES

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STRETCH RUN.

YOU KNOW, THAT GUY SMITH WAS A PARASITE.

LAWRENCE IS A GOOD MAN.

BE A GOOD SENATOR.

WASN'T SMITH'S MURDER

A STROKE OF LUCK FOR YOU PERSONALLY, MR. McCORKENDALE?

WHAT ARE YOU REFERRING TO?

YOUR HANDLING OF THE UNION PENSION FUND.

THAT WASN'T MY HANDLING.

IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY,

BUT THE HANDLING WAS DONE IN PHILADELPHIA,

NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS.

AND LAWRENCE PROMISES TO PRESS FOR A PHILADELPHIA INVESTIGATION

IF HE'S ELECTED, RIGHT?

THAT'S ONE REASON I'M BACKING HIM.

AND THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

SMITH DYING WAS A STROKE OF LUCK FOR YOU, TOO.

WHAT ARE YOU HINTING AT, LUKELA?

ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF MURDER?

'CAUSE IF YOU ARE, YOU BETTER BOOK ME RIGHT NOW.

OTHERWISE, GET OFF MY CASE!

SOMEWHERE THERE IN THE WINTER OF '58.

'58?

'58.

[ CHUCKLES ]

RIGHT YOU ARE, MISS...

MAY. SARAH MAY.

SARAH MAY.

"WITH VISIBILITY CLOSE TO ZERO,

"AN ACCIDENT NEAR THE STONE CREEK ROAD

"LAST TUESDAY TOOK THE LIFE OF MINERVA LAWRENCE, 67.

"EVA PRITCHARD WAS DRIVING THE FAMILY EDSEL

"AND SKIDDED OFF THE SLIPPERY ROAD

"AND STRUCK MINERVA AS SHE WAS CROSSING FROM THE HENHOUSE.

"IN THE CAR AT THE TIME

"WAS DAVID LAWRENCE, MINERVA'S NEPHEW.

"HE IMMEDIATELY WENT FOR HELP,

"BUT BY THE TIME DR. THOMPSON GOT THERE, MINERVA WAS DEAD.

"THE YOUNG COUPLE

WAS JUST RETURNING FROM THE MOVIES IN TOWN."

THAT'S, UH -- THAT'S IT, UH, AN ACCIDENT IN A SNOWSTORM?

THAT'S IT.

'COURSE, MINNIE DYING SOLVED A LITTLE PROBLEM

FOR YOUNG DAVEY LAWRENCE.

WHAT PROBLEM?

WELL, DAVEY WANTED TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL AT STANFORD.

THAT'S A PAY SCHOOL.

EVER SINCE HIS FOLKS DIED,

HE'D BEEN LIVING WITH HIS RICH, OLD AUNT MINNIE.

SHE WAS DEAD SET AGAINST SPENDING ALL THAT MONEY ON SCHOOLING.

YEAH, I SEE.

SO WHEN SHE DIED...

THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

THE STORY SAYS HERE, UH, "THE YOUNG COUPLE."

WERE THEY MARRIED?

KEEPING COMPANY. HA.

NEVER DID UNDERSTAND WHY THEY BROKE UP.

DAVEY WENT AWAY TO STANFORD, AND EVA --

SHE MARRIED SMITTY 'BOUT A YEAR LATER.

THAT'D BE AROUND MAY, JUNE '59.

'59. UM, DOES, UM -- DOES EVA STILL LIVE IN MOROVILLE?

ABOUT 30 MILES NORTH, RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY.

OKAY, SARAH MAY. UH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WELCOME.

YOU'RE HERE ABOUT THAT MAN SMITH'S DEATH.

HIS MURDER.

OH, YES, OF COURSE, HIS MURDER.

[ LAUGHS ] MOST DISTRESSING.

BUT AN EXTORTIONIST TAKES CERTAIN RISKS

WHEN HE PRACTICES HIS TRADE, DOESN'T HE?

TELL ME SOMETHING

ABOUT THE FIRST UNIFIED BANKING GROUP, MR. SULIEMAN.

OH, THEY'RE A CONGLOMERATE.

COMPETITORS OF YOURS?

OH, INTENSE AND UNPRINCIPLED COMPETITORS.

YOU'RE PRESSING THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

TO INVESTIGATE THEM

IN CONNECTION WITH ANTITRUST VIOLATIONS?

AND IF DAVID LAWRENCE IS ELECTED,

HE PROMISES TO PRESS THOSE INVESTIGATIONS.

AH.

SO YOUR INTEREST IN DAVID LAWRENCE'S ELECTION

IS MORE THAN ALTRUISTIC.

ALTRUISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS, MS. WILSON.

AND IF YOU KNOW MY MOTIVE FOR WANTING THAT EXTORTIONIST DEAD,

I ASSUME, UH, YOU KNOW EVERYBODY ELSE'S.

WINNIE WINSTON'S, FOR INSTANCE.

STEVE McGARRETT HAS IT ON THE BEST AUTHORITY.

WHAT BEST AUTHORITY?

I'LL ASK THE QUESTION, MR. WINSTON.

RIGHT NOW, WE'RE EXAMINING MOTIVES.

AND WHAT MOTIVE COULD I POSSIBLY HAVE

FOR KILLING A MAN I DON'T KNOW, I HAVE NEVER SEEN,

NOR EVEN HEARD OF BEFORE I READ ABOUT HIS ACCIDENT IN THE PAPER?

AMBITION, POWER. THEY'RE VERY BEGUILING.

IS AMBITION A DIRTY WORD?

OH, NOT AT ALL.

I THINK YOUR CAMPAIGN TO GET DAVE LAWRENCE ELECTED

TO A NATIONAL OFFICE IS COMMENDABLE,

TOTALLY GEARED TO HIS IMAGE

AS AN INCORRUPTIBLE, DYNAMIC NON-POLITICIAN.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE IS.

I UNDERSTAND YOU PERSONALLY SPONSORED HIS CANDIDACY

AND ARE A, SHALL WE SAY, HEAVY CONTRIBUTOR

TO HIS CAMPAIGN FUND.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND I AM NOT WITHDRAWING MY SUPPORT NOW

BECAUSE OF SOME VAGUE, UNVERIFIABLE, 20-YEAR-OLD INDISCRETION.

I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT YOU WITHDRAW YOUR SUPPORT,

MR. WINSTON, BUT IT'S OBVIOUS, ISN'T IT,

THAT IF DAVID LAWRENCE WINS, YOU HAVE THE INSIDE SHOT

AT THE NATIONAL CHAIRMANSHIP OF YOUR PARTY?

AND, UH, IF A THREAT EXISTED, BEING AN AMBITIOUS MAN,

THAT THREAT MAY HAVE TO BE ELIMINATED.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF LAWRENCE FAILS, YOU FAIL.

THAT'S SLANDEROUS, MR. McGARRETT.

REALLY?

AND FURTHERMORE, LAWRENCE IS NOT GOING TO FAIL,

AND I SUGGEST THAT WHATEVER HAPPENED 24 YEARS AGO

STAY EXACTLY WHERE IT IS -- DEAD AND BURIED IN THE PAST.

NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO WITH MY TIME.

[ KNOCKING ON DOOR ]

HELLO.

HELLO.

LOOKS LIKE NOBODY'S HOME.

THAT'S A FACT.

UH, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE SHE MIGHT BE, WOULD YOU?

COULDN'T SAY.

THIS TOWN AIN'T THAT SMALL, MISTER.

YEAH.

[ DOORBELL RINGING ]

YES.

ARE -- ARE YOU MRS. LAWRENCE?

YES.

CAN I HELP YOU?

OH, I'M, UM --

I'M EVA PRITCHARD SMITH,

AND I'D LIKE TO TALK TO MR. LAWRENCE --

DAVEY LAWRENCE.

DAVID'S IN THE STUDY WITH A VISITOR.

OH, OH. I DON'T WANT TO DISTURB HIM.

OH, I'M SURE IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

A VISITOR, DAVID.

EVIE?

EXCUSE ME.

EVIE, THIS IS LORI WILSON.

THIS IS EVA PRITCHARD.

HELLO, EVA.

OH, MARGOT --

WE MET AT THE DOOR.

MARGOT, HOW ABOUT THAT CUP OF COFFEE?

WHAT?

UH, COFFEE?

CO-- YES, OF COURSE.

HOW ARE YOU?

I DON'T RECOGNIZE YOU, DAVEY.

IT'S BEEN SO LONG.

WE HAVE TEENAGE MEMORIES,

AND LIKE PHOTOGRAPHS,

THEY DON'T CHANGE WITH THE YEARS.

EVIE...

I'M SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND.

THERE WAS TIMES WHEN I WONDERED WHAT MY LIFE MIGHT BE LIKE.

I WONDERED A THOUSAND TIMES.

YOU REACHED WHERE I NEVER COULD GO.

OH, I KNEW IT. I JUST KNEW IT, DAVEY.

I KNEW ONE DAY YOU'D BE SOMEBODY REALLY IMPORTANT.

YOU MADE ALL THIS POSSIBLE.

YOU SENT ME ON MY WAY.

HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW, LORI?

QUITE A LOT.

WE GOT A REPORT FROM MOROVILLE.

I KNOW ALL OF IT.

IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT AN ACCIDENT IN A SNOWSTORM.

WHEN HIS AUNT WAS KILLED.

WHAT HAPPENED THERE?

WE KNOW THAT DAVID WANTED TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL,

AND HIS AUNT DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY.

POINT OF CONTENTION BETWEEN THEM?

THAT THE WHOLE TOWN KNEW ABOUT.

THERE WERE ARGUMENTS, HARSH THINGS SAID BY BOTH OF THEM.

A FRUGAL, OLD LADY AND AN ADOLESCENT BOY --

EVEN A SHOUTING MATCH ONE AFTERNOON IN THE GROCERY STORE

WITH THE SHERIFF LISTENING.

SHE WASN'T GOING TO LET HIM GO TO STANFORD, SO WHEN --

WHEN THERE WAS THE ACCIDENT IN THE STORM --

IT WASAN ACCIDENT, WASN'T IT?

YES.

MARGOT...

WAS EVA DRIVING THE CAR?

NO, IT WAS DAVID.

BUT THE ACCIDENT REPORT --

DAVID SAID THAT WHEN THE CAR HIT HIS AUNT,

HE DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS DEAD.

HE WENT FOR THE DOCTOR, ON FOOT THROUGH THE STORM.

WHEN HE GOT BACK ABOUT 40 MINUTES LATER,

THE SHERIFF WAS THERE, AND HIS AUNT MINNIE WAS DEAD, AND EVA --

EVA HAD SAID THAT SHE WAS DRIVING THE CAR,

AND IF THERE WAS ANY FAULT, IT WAS HERS.

OH, AND SHE TOOK THE BLAME

BECAUSE SHE FELT IT MIGHT BE AWKWARD FOR DAVID?

MORE THAN AWKWARD.

HE WAS DUE AT STANFORD ENROLLMENT.

THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SUSPICIONS AND QUESTIONING.

AND -- AND THE WOMAN IN THERE,

THE GIRL THAT DAVID THOUGHT AT THAT TIME HE WAS GOING TO MARRY,

COULDN'T BEAR DEPRIVING THE BOY SHE LOVED OF HIS CHANCE IN LIFE.

[ SIGHS ] I GUESS SHE KNEW EVEN THEN WHERE HE COULD GO

AND WHAT HE MIGHT BECOME,

AND...SHE DIDN'T WANT TO STAND IN HIS WAY.

YOU NEVER ANSWERED MY LETTERS.

SMITTY -- HE FOUND THE ONLY ONE I KEPT.

I SHOULD HAVE BURNED IT, TOO.

HE MADE ME TELL HIM THE TRUTH, DAVEY.

HE SAID A MAN IN YOUR POSITION

SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT HE'S DONE.

HE SAID EVEN IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,

IT WAS BREAKING THE LAW LETTING A LIE STAND.

WHEN I FOUND OUT -- TOO LATE --

HE WAS ON HIS WAY HERE TO UNDO EVERYTHING.

I CAME AFTER HIM TO TALK HIM OUT OF IT,

TO STOP HIM.

SOMEBODY DID STOP HIM, EVIE.

AND I'M NOT SORRY...

...NOT WHEN I SEE EVERYTHING HERE...

AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE WITH YOUR LIFE.

NOW I KNOW I DID THE RIGHT THING LETTING YOU GO.

DEAR, SWEET EVIE,

YOU ARE WISER, MORE LOYAL THAN I.

MAYBE ONLY...

MORE IN LOVE, DAVEY.

HE TRIED THAT NEXT MORNING

TO TELL THE SHERIFF HE'D BEEN DRIVING THE CAR,

BUT THE SHERIFF WOULDN'T BELIEVE HIM.

PROBABLY FELT THE BOY WAS TRYING TO PROTECT THE GIRL.

AND, OF COURSE, THAT WOULD INCREASE DAVID'S SENSE OF GUILT.

MARGOT, I'M TAKING EVA BACK TO HER HOTEL.

LISTEN, PAUL, YOU PROMISED US

THAT WE'D HAVE AT LEAST 24 HOURS.

NOW, WE STILL HAVE A FEW HOURS LEFT.

Have you made any progress?

OF COURSE WE'VE MADE PROGRESS.

Like what?

MOTIVES, FOR INSTANCE, AND ALONG WITH HPD,

WE'VE BEEN CHECKING ALIBIS FOR THE TIME OF THE MURDER.

WHAT ABOUT THE BLACKMAIL?

No, this is not a case of ordinary blackmail.

Do you trust me, Paul?

As soon as I get a little more, I'll get back to you.

THE WHOLE THING'S A SHAKER. WHAT'S THE WIDOW DOING HERE?

I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TALK WITH HER.

I SAID I'D GET BACK TO YOU, PAUL.

TRUST ME, WILL YOU?

BOY, HE'S REALLY PRESSING.

LUANA, GET ME MRS. EVA SMITH, PLEASE, AT HER HOTEL.

I THINK WE'D BETTER KEEP THIS WOMAN IN SIGHT.

RIGHT, STEVE.

OUR MURDERER OBVIOUSLY KILLED SMITH TO KEEP HIM QUIET,

AND IF HE THOUGHT EVA JUST BEING HERE

MIGHT LEAK SOMETHING ABOUT DAVE LAWRENCE,

SHE COULD BE IN TROUBLE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

DON'T ANSWER IT.

HI, DUKE.

HOW WAS IDAHO?

IT WAS COLD.

[ LAUGHS ]

UH, WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE EVA SMITH THING?

UH, WE LOST TRACK OF HER.

SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE HOTEL ROOM,

BUT WHEN STEVE CALLED, THERE WAS NO ANSWER.

SHE JUST FELL OUT OF SIGHT, DISAPPEARED.

HMM.

WELL, THERE'S A HUNDRED PLACES SHE COULD BE.

SHE COULD BE OUT SHOPPING, BE SIGHTSEEING.

UNH-UNH.

NO, HUH?

WELL, MAYBE SHE TOOK OFF FOR THE MAINLAND.

AS OF LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO, SHE HADN'T CHECKED OUT OF THE HOTEL.

WE TRIED THE AIRLINES. WE TRIED EVERYTHING.

STEVE THINKS SHE MIGHT BE IN DANGER, HUH?

HE THINKS IT'S A POSSIBILITY.

HE WANTS US TO KEEP, UH, LOOKING FOR HER

AND TO CHECK OUT A PHIL McCORKENDALE

AT UNION HEADQUARTERS.

ALSO, WINNIE WINSTON, GEORGE SULIEMAN,

AND, UH, BURT BRIGGS, DAVE LAWRENCE'S PARTNER.

HE SEEMS TO BE MISSING SINCE LUNCH, TOO.

SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO WAIT IN HER HOTEL.

I WAS TO PICK HER UP LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

DID YOU CALL HER OR SPEAK TO HER?

I CALLED HER, BUT SHE WASN'T IN HER ROOM.

WHAT TIME WAS THAT?

3:00, MAYBE A LITTLE LATER.

SHE WAS THERE ABOUT 3:00.

THE DESK CLERK GAVE HER HER KEY.

BUT A LITTLE AFTER 3:00, SHE WASN'T THERE ANYMORE.

MY GOD.

STEVE DOESN'T THINK I'D DO ANYTHING TO HARM HER, DOES HE?

I GUESS HE WONDERS WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS ARE...

I DON'T KNOW.

...AND WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING TO DO ABOUT THE ELECTION.

I DON'T KNOW THAT, EITHER.

I NEED SOME SOUL-SEARCHING. I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT.

I'D LIKE TO EXPOSE THE WHOLE STORY,

BUT IT WOULD ONLY LOOK

AS IF I'D BEEN HIDING BEHIND A WOMAN'S SKIRTS ALL THESE YEARS.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING.

[ RINGS ]

McGARRETT.

Hello, Steve.

HELLO, KIMO. HOW WAS THE TRIP?

Fine, Steve.

WE'RE AT THE PRINCE REGENT.

WINSTON WAS PICKED UP HERE 20 MINUTES AGO.

PICKED UP?

Yeah, by Lieutenant Akane.

Winston came in here

and wanted to settle up Eva's hotel bill

and pick up her luggage,

SAID SHE WAS WAITING FOR HIM OUTSIDE IN HIS CAR.

BUT SHE WASN'T. NOBODY WAS IN THE CAR.

WHERE'S WINSTON NOW?

Downtown, being booked.

OKAY, KIMO, I'LL MEET YOU THERE.

TELL DUKE TO STICK AROUND THE HOTEL IN CASE EVA SHOWS UP.

STRANGELY ENOUGH, McGARRETT, I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU.

I TRUST YOU'LL BRING A TOUCH OF SANITY TO ALL THIS MADNESS.

YOU SAID EVA SMITH WAS IN YOUR CAR.

WHEN AND WHERE DID YOU PICK HER UP?

3:00 IN HER HOTEL ROOM.

WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

I CALLED HER ABOUT 3:00 AT HER HOTEL.

THERE WAS NO ANSWER.

THERE WERE ABOUT TWO CALLS THEN.

I TOLD HER NOT TO ANSWER.

WHY? WHAT DID YOU WANT WITH HER?

CONVERSATION, McGARRETT.

I EXPLAINED AFTER I FOUND OUT THAT SHE HAD COME HERE

TO PROTECT DAVID LAWRENCE

THAT EVERY MINUTE SHE STAYED ON THE ISLAND,

IN REALITY, SHE WAS A THREAT TO HIM.

YES? AND THEN WHAT?

SHE DECIDED TO TAKE THE 6:50 FLIGHT TO SAN FRANCISCO.

SHE PACKED HER BAGS.

I WENT DOWN TO THE LOBBY TO PAY HER HOTEL BILL,

AND SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE ELEVATOR DOWN TO THE PARKING LOT

AND WAIT FOR ME IN MY CAR.

WHEN I GOT TO THE FRONT DESK AND ASKED FOR HER BILL,

LIEUTENANT AKANE GRABBED ME.

WHY? WHY WASN'T SHE WAITING IN THE CAR?

HOW DO I KNOW?! ALL I KNOW IS THAT WHEN AKANE AND I

WENT OUT TO THE PARKING LEVEL, SHE WASN'T THERE.

THAT'S IT?

THAT'S IT.

ALL RIGHT, OFFICER, TAKE HIM BACK TO HIS CELL.

McGARRETT, I WANT OUT.

I HAVE NO DESIGNS ON EVA SMITH.

I KNOW SHE'S HERE TO PROTECT LAWRENCE.

NOW, WILL YOU KINDLY INFORM LIEUTENANT AKANE

THAT I AM NOT A SUSPECT?

HOW CAN I DO THAT, WINSTON? THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE COURTS FOR.

STEVE, IF WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT EVA,

THEN THE KILLER'S GOT TO BELIEVE SHE'S A THREAT, TOO.

THAT'S RIGHT.

BUT SHE ISN'T.

JUST AS WINSTON SAID, SHE'S HERE TO PROTECT LAWRENCE.

WHO --

WHO WOULD BE A THREAT TO DAVE LAWRENCE AND HIS ELECTION?

KIMO...

THAT'S IT.

MARGOT, HIS WIFE -- SHE'S THE THREAT.

SHE KNOWS THE STORY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

NOW, PLEASE, THERE'S NO TIME TO LOSE, KIMO.

WE'VE GOT TO FIND EVA.

CALL LAWRENCE AT HIS OFFICE.

TELL HIM I'LL BE AT HIS HOME

AND TO GET THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

STEVE.

MARGOT, MAY I COME IN?

YES, OF COURSE.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, MARGOT?

YES, I'M FINE.

HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO DAVE IN THE LAST, UH, LET'S SAY, HOUR OR SO?

NO. WHY DO YOU ASK?

'CAUSE EVA'S MISSING,

AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HER,

THAT WOULD BE IRONIC,

BECAUSE SHE CAME HERE TO PROTECT DAVE, NOT TO HURT HIM.

DO YOU KNOW WHO KILLED SMITH?

YEAH, I THINK SO.

I THINK SO, BUT I MUST CONFESS,

I DIDN'T REALLY CONSIDER THE FACTS AND CLUES

CONNECTED WITH SMITH'S MURDER CAREFULLY ENOUGH BEFORE NOW.

WHAT CLUES, STEVE?

WELL, FOR INSTANCE, THE DRUG --

THE DRUG IN SMITH'S STOMACH THAT INCAPACITATED HIM,

KEPT HIM FROM CONTROLLING THAT WILD HORSE.

WHO COULD HAVE GIVEN IT TO HIM?

ANYBODY, IN A GLASS OF WATER, A CUP OF COFFEE.

NO, NOT ANYBODY.

IT HAD TO BE SOMEBODY SMITH KNEW,

SOMEBODY WHO COULD GET CLOSE TO HIM.

AND HOW DID SMITH GET UP TO THE RIDING ACADEMY?

I DON'T KNOW.

HIS RENTED CAR, PERHAPS.

BUT THE CAR WAS FOUND AT HIS MOTEL.

WHO DROVE IT BACK THERE?

MAYBE HE DIDN'T DRIVE UP.

UH, COULDN'T HE HAVE TAKEN A CAB?

WELL, WE CHECKED WITH ALL THE CAB COMPANIES.

NO, NO, MARGOT, HE DROVE HIS OWN CAR UP THERE,

AND THE KILLER DROVE IT BACK TO THE MOTEL.

NOW, MAY I ASK YOU SOMETHING?

WHO WOULD SMITH KNOW WELL ENOUGH TO GIVE HIS CAR KEYS TO?

HIS WIFE?

YEAH, HIS WIFE.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

HELLO.

IS DAVEY HERE?

COME IN, EVA.

WE'RE EXPECTING YOU.

YOU KNEW I'D BE COMING HERE?

YES, EVA. WE KNOW EVERYTHING NOW.

OH.

WELL...

THEN YOU KNOW I MUST KILL HER.

KILL HER?

WELL, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, DON'T YOU?

SHE'S GONNA TELL ON DAVEY.

NO, EVA, PLEASE, PLEASE.

THAT'S NOT GONNA HELP DAVE.

MY GOD, STEVE, SHE'S INSANE.

EVA, NOBODY WANTS TO HURT DAVE, ESPECIALLY MARGOT.

SHE WANTS TO RUIN HIM.

SHE WANTS HIM TO TELL EVERYTHING.

BUT I'M GONNA PROTECT MY DAVEY, JUST LIKE I ALWAYS DONE.

YOU DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT HIM.

YOU DON'T LOVE HIM, NOT LIKE I DO.

I CAN'T LET YOU DESTROY HIM.

EVA, PLEASE, PLEASE, IT'S -- IT'S ALL OVER.

WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT 20 YEARS AGO.

WE KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.

WE KNOW DAVE WAS DRIVING THE CAR, NOT YOU.

NOT FAIR!

IT WASN'T DAVEY'S FAULT!

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!

BUT YOUR HUSBAND'S DEATH WASN'T AN ACCIDENT, WAS IT?

YOU KILLED HIM, DIDN'T YOU,

AND YOU KILLED HIM TO SAVE DAVE, DIDN'T YOU?

SMITTY...

[ SOBS ]

SMITTY BEAT ME...

MADE ME TELL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO TELL.

[ SOBBING ]

HE -- HE NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD ABOUT DAVEY AND ME.

I COULDN'T LET HIM HURT MY DAVEY, NOW, COULD I?

MARGOT?

[ GASPS ]

MARGOT?

MARGOT?

EVIE.

DAVEY, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

DAVE, TELL HER, PLEASE?

WOULD YOU TELL HER THAT SHE CAN'T HELP YOU THIS WAY?

EVIE --

IT'S THE ONLY WAY, DAVEY.

DON'T YOU SEE?

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.

BUT WE CAN BE TOGETHER AGAIN,

JUST LIKE WE WERE BEFORE.

EVA...

EVA, GIVE IT TO ME.

DAVEY'S HERE TO TAKE YOU OUT TONIGHT.

YOU'RE GOING OUT WITH HIM, AREN'T YOU?

YEAH.

WE'RE GOING TO THE DANCE TONIGHT AT THE LAKE.

OH, AND I'M SO EXCITED.

HOW DO I LOOK, DAVEY?

DO YOU LIKE MY DRESS?

I MADE IT SPECIAL FOR YOU.

I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU.

I LIKE IT, EVIE, VERY MUCH.

OH, MY DAVEY.

HOW I DREAMED OF TONIGHT.

KISS ME, DAVEY. KISS ME.
