You're cheating.

- That's a bunch a bull.
- Oh, why,

- because you're above cheating now?
- No,

because I don't have
to cheat to beat you.

You're picking up
every card I throw.

Bogey's passing.

That's Mance.

Donovan Mance!

FBI!
You need to...

Little last-minute to be
finishing homework, isn't it?

Not due till tomorrow.

Got a game today,
so I'm trying to get ahead.

Impressive.

Try not to sound so surprised.

Haven't seen you
this motivated in a while.

Shoot.
You coming to the game?

That's the plan.

Just promise
you won't give the ump

a hard time again,
okay?

Hey, if he does his job right,

he'll have nothing
to fear from me.

- Have you seen my charger?
- Uh, kitchen counter.

Thanks.

He didn't say anything
about getting recruited?

Why keep it a secret?
Amherst is a great school.

It is a great school.

In Massachusetts.

Ah, he's worried
you'll freak out

about the distance?
Maybe.

Is he right?

Honestly, I don't know.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Whistler.
Three days ago,

two FBI agents were
murdered in Pittsburgh.

This is the man
responsible.

Donovan Mance.

- Contract killer, right?
- Yep.

Willing to kill anyone.
Politicians, judges...

And law enforcement.

Including an NCIS agent,
Gina Bradshaw.

Seven years ago,

Bradshaw was building a fraud
case against a contractor.

Both she and her informant
were murdered.

- Been off-grid ever since.
- Until he showed up

at one of his old safe houses
in Pittsburgh.

Two agents tried
to apprehend him.

They didn't have a chance.

What's his
connection to Hawai'i?

A cell phone was found at
the scene with his prints on it.

There were calls going back months,
but only to one number.

A restaurant here in Honolulu
called Ho'olua.

Who was Mance contacting there?

That's what we need
to find out.

I put an affidavit in
for a wiretap.

All right, let's start digging
into Mance and Ho'olua.

We figure out who
he's talking to,

we might get a lead
to Mance himself.

Find out where he is
or where he's going.

You okay there, brah?

Trying to imagine lemongrass-
scented lobster claw meat

served with a fricassee
of Kahuku sweet corn

and Serrano ham.

Oh.

Going down the Ho'olua
rabbit hole?

Yeah.

Looks fancy.
Sophisticated.

Not necessarily fancy.
Upscale French bistro

with some Hawaiian zing
and using all local ingredients.

Right now, we're more interested
in their phone line

- and employees.
- Right.

Unfortunately,
the number Mance called

is Ho'olua's landline.

Probably has multiple extensions
throughout the restaurant.

So he could've been
talking to anyone

from front-of-house

to kitchen staff.

Ho'olua's been opened up
ten months.

A success out of the gate.

And all thanks
to Head Chef Jenny Alika.

She's local?

Born and raised
on the Big Island.

But she'd been gone for years.

Studied at Le Cordon Bleu
in France

and the Culinary Institute
in New York.

That's where she met
business partner, Chris Polis.

Either of them have ties
to Donovan Mance or Pittsburgh?

Uh, not that
I've found yet.

Okay, what about
the rest of the staff?

Ah.

A handful have criminal records,

the odd felony here and there,
but no one stands out.

If we start
questioning them,

we could scare off
whoever Mance was talking to.

So we need a subtle approach.

Someone goes in undercover.

Gets the lay of the land.
But...

...this is a fine dining
restaurant, who's gonna go in?

Me.

- As what, a busboy?
- Porter?

- Oh, coat check?
- Valet.

No.

As a cook.

You have to be pretty talented
to work in that kitchen.

I'm pretty talented.

How can you even get a
job there that quickly?

I know a guy.

Hey, come here, buddy.

Hello.
It's good to see you, too.

Where's Pop?

Huh? Where's Pop?
Come on.

Kai.

Inoki missed you last weekend.

Yeah, I know.

I'm sorry, I just...

I got swamped on a case.
Yeah, no matter.

Hey, how about you make
the poke?

Mom always loved yours.

Poke? What for?
Mom's birthday.

We're making her favorite meals
for the 'ohana.

You here to plan the menu, yeah?

- You still do that?
- Every year.

First one you're back.
It's a big deal.

I won't be doing that.

- Course you will. It's for your mom.
- No.

No, th-that's for you.

To make you feel better.

How long you gonna
stay mad at me?

I'm not mad.

I'm just not taking part in this

loving-husband fantasy
you created. No.

You know how much I loved her.

Yeah, now.

After she's gone,
when it doesn't matter.

You got a cruel streak, son.

You want to cook for
Mom, you want to have

a party?
Yeah, go ahead, be my guest.

But that doesn't make up for you
checking out when she got sick.

- I didn't.
- No, let's not.

Hey, what you want from me, Kai?

I've been trying
to make things right.

I'm giving you space,
looking out for Inoki...

Hey, I can take him
somewhere else if it's

too much trouble.
Nah, I'll do that.

That's not what I'm saying!

- You're so stubborn!
- Yeah.

And I'm cruel.

I wonder who I got that from?

Mom...

wouldn't want us to fight.

Tell me what to do

to make this right.

What I need right
now is a job.

I'm going undercover.

I need a recommendation
from Wally's to get the gig.

You still know everyone, right?

There isn't a kitchen
on this island

doesn't have one of my guys.

See, the key is...

I'm not your son.

Just someone you're
trying to help out.

I understand.

Go! Go!
Come on! Come on! Come on!

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Out!

Nice! Nice! All right, Alex!

What a play!

Everything okay?

Uh, you know,
Caitlyn wants vitamins

and massage oil

and the loose leaf
peppermint tea

from the good tea shop,
not the bad one.

And I'm supposed to know
which one is which.

I don't remember you running
all over town for me

- when I was pregnant.
- You never asked.

- Yes, nice!
- Yeah!

Nice!

I get why Amherst wants him.

It's okay.
I saw the letter.

Amherst sent a letter,
recruiting Alex?

I just assumed
he told you.

I guess he kept both
of us in the dark.

He's not really
considering it?

I don't know.
We haven't...

Because it's-it's
not happening.

Daniel?

I've seen too many players
from my teams

go off to school and just,
they fall apart.

- Sure, but...
- Far from home, no support system.

That's not our kid.

You have no idea.

I don't love it, either,

okay,
but we need to talk to Alex.

Nothing to talk about.
Amherst is off the table.

Damn it.

I got to go.

Hey! Yeah, I'm headed
to the store now.

All right, buddy!

Hey, hey, I need
last night's receipts.

- Hello?
- I don't work here...

Well, then you're not
much help to me, are you?

- Hey, I need... can you just...?
- I actually...

I need last night's receipts,
can you pull those up...

Don't mind Chris.
He's opening up two more locations.

Doesn't know which way is up.
Ryan Delucci, sous chef.

- Assuming you're KJ?
- Yeah.

You really impressed
your old bosses.

Got three local chefs
singing your praises.

Hope they didn't
oversell me.

They better not have.
Our chef's brilliant,

but she's tough.

Lost two guys last week
who couldn't hack it.

She'll make the call.

I mean, you see
that, don't you?

The cubes are all different
sizes. I specified

- a Brunoise cut.
- No problem, Chef.

We'll get it right.

Is this the new guy?

Not till you say so, Chef.

Let's see a Brunoise.

There you go, Chef.

Well, keep going.

You're already behind.

Guys, there should be one more
person on the line for me.

That means you're hired.

- Keep dicing.
- Okay.

You need
specialty products.

I can get those, too.

You've bought from me
before, haven't you?

I never forget a face.

This should cover it.

Yeah?

I got it.

Donovan, right?

Mance.

Thought you
were dead.

You don't have
to worry about me.

I won't tell nobody.

I know you won't.

Bad news, boss.

Gurneys and crime scene tape
aren't ever good news.

Donovan Mance is
here in Hawai'i.

We've got
confirmation?

HPD got a partial
off the door.

- It matches the print on file for Mance.
- BOLO's out?

Yeah, I gave Kai
a heads-up

in case Mance shows up
at the restaurant.

- Who's the victim?
- Harvey Colms.

Local gun dealer
and all-around lowlife.

According to HPD, he's been
in business here for years.

And Mance knew
how to reach out to him.

Might mean he's familiar
with the island.

It also means he's armed.

And already leaving
a body count.

Puree's done, Chef.

Nice. Take your five,
then hit the line.

Yes, sir.

There he is.

The man behind the woman

behind the finest
Foie Gras Musubi

I've ever tasted.

Hey, is it true
that she raises her own ducks?

Ernie, I've barely
been here a day,

and I've been kind of distracted

searching for a killer.

But I have seen at least
three phone extensions.

One out front, one in the
kitchen, one in the office.

The last call
from the restaurant

to Mance's cell was
this past Thursday.

Can you get me a work schedule
from that day?

Got it.

Sending it to you now.

I'll see if I can find
any connections to Mance.

Hey, Kai... be careful.

Always.

Hey! Break's over.

We're getting behind.

Yeah. Yeah.

Wiretap's up.

We got a couple workers
laying bets with a bookie.

One calling her pot dealer.

But no calls involving
Donovan Mance.

Wait, so we still don't know
why he's here?

He's a hitman.

I'm assuming he's here for work.

He's a hitman
who's been in hiding

and on the run for years.
I wouldn't assume anything.

Plus we have 20 phone calls into
his cell over the last year.

Just feels a little more
personal than business.

And Kai hasn't found any leads?

He's been there less than a day.

Yes, Lucy. I know.

I'm just asking
if he found

any leads
in that day?

Nothing yet.

How about you?

Figure out if Mance
ever pulled jobs in Hawai'i?

Not that FBI could prove.

But he was suspected
of working for The Company

back in the early '90s.

- Like the CIA?
- No, like the gang.

The Company ran organized crime
in Hawai'i for decades.

Got broken up
a couple years ago.

We've had reports that some
of the younger members

of the original syndicate
are trying to rebuild.

Maybe they're involved
in the restaurant.

Might fit with what I found.

There's a lot of money flowing
into Ho'olua.

Two new locations
for a restaurant

that's been open
less than a year.

Okay, what do we know about
Chef Alika's business partner?

Chris Polis got

an MBA at Columbia.
He met Alika in New York.

Any connections
to criminal organizations?

None through
his family.

They're well off,
but it's all legit.

Let's have Ernie see
if he can find out who's funding

the restaurant's expansion,
and make sure Kai's aware

of the possible connection
to The Company.

So this is
the new normal?

Chasing
violent fugitives?

You in our office all the time.

It is part of the job.

Is that okay?

Yep. Okay for you?

Yep.

Don't forget
the kukui nut powder.

We can't serve this,
it's already turning.

86 the branzino.
Heard, Chef.

I'll be back.

What do you think
you're doing?

I just, I had to...

You don't ever
leave the line

in my kitchen
without permission.

Understood, Chef.
It won't happen again.

Damn right. You're fired.

Pack up.

This isn't gonna help anything!

We're not here to help.

I'm doing everything I can here!

And you're still not delivering.

Consider this an incentive.

Hey! Leave him alone.

Walk away.
This isn't your business.

All right, I'm calling the cops.

You don't listen, do you?

Hey, I don't want to do this.

You should've walked.

You're screwed, Polis.

So is your friend.

You okay?

No.

You just signed
my death warrant.

What the hell have
you gotten us into, Chris?

- It's not my fault!
- One of our employees

just got his ass kicked

standing up for you!
Yeah, and that probably

made things worse.

- You got to sign the papers!
- I am not having this discussion.

I'm... I'm sorry
that you got hurt.

I'm grateful that
you helped Chris.

Look, who are those guys?

Nothing I can't handle.

Come back tomorrow.

You get one more chance.
If you want it.

Yeah.

Thank you, Chef.

You went through my things?

It's not like I was snooping.

You left it out.

If I wanted you to know...

I would've told you.

Well, that's the question, Alex.

Why were you hiding it?

I wasn't hiding it.

I was thinking about it.

'Cause you're considering going?

I mean, yeah. It's Amherst.

All right, I kind of freaked
when I got it.

It's far, but... It's too far.

We're listening,
remember?

That was your idea, not mine.

It is a long way from home.

I was, I was thinking about

how you traveled a lot
when we were little.

- It wasn't easy being apart.
- No.

But you did it.

And it didn't mean
you loved us any less.

I think I could do it, too.

I think I want to.

What about UH?

The coach there
expressed interest.

Yeah, it's not like
I've made a decision.

Whatever you decide.

We love that you have options.

You've worked really
hard this year.

You've earned this.

Why am I not surprised?

Dad?

Dad, why are you so upset?
I haven't decided.

I've got
to go to work.

He's got a lot going on, okay?
Just give it a beat.

Hey, I know you got a lot with
the new baby coming and all...

No, this has nothing
to do with the baby, Jane.

And the fact
that you don't even know

what's wrong
tells me everything.

I got to go.

FBI still hasn't intercepted

any calls between Mance
and the restaurant.

No more sightings of him,
either.

What about identifying the men
who threatened Chris Polis?

Ernie used the photo Kai took.

Roy Anders and Brett Watts.

Long rap sheets...
Aggravated battery,

- assault with a deadly weapon.
- They're just muscle.

No active affiliations,
but they're working for someone.

Cash Kai found at Ho'olua's
most likely drug money.

Yeah, high-traffic business
and construction

on two new projects... I mean,
it's perfect for laundering.

Someone's financing
Ho'olua's expansion.

Any idea who?

Public record

says it's a group called
Envision Investments, but...

Envision's just a shell company.

All right, we need to figure
out who's actually in charge.

Check HPD Narcotics and DEA.

See if Anders and Watts have any
connection to known dealers.

Uh, Chris Polis has been
negotiating the deal.

He knows the guys
who beat him up.

He must know who
they work for.

We could keep
an eye on Polis.

Discreetly.
Might lead us to Mance.

Good idea.

Do it. I'm gonna check on Kai.

Ouch.

Looks painful.

Worth it.

Got me my job back.

Your job is
to stay safe.

No, I'm good.
I'm good, boss, promise.

- And find us leads.
- Yeah.

I beat the crap
out of two leads.

Yes, you did.
And we're on them.

You doing okay
in the kitchen?

Yeah, I'm...

I'm doing great actually.

I forgot how much
I enjoyed it.

Your dad taught you well.

Pissed me off half the time.

But yeah.

Pop and I enjoyed
cooking together.

I mean, it's maybe the only time

we were in sync.

He must love
having you back home.

Well, love is a strong word.

We don't get along that much.

Not anymore.

Family's
complicated.

No argument there.

Kai?

Try not to get
in any more fights, okay?

Maybe talk
to Chef Alika instead.

See how much she knows
about the money laundering.

I mean, I'll try, but...

I don't think
she likes me much.

She doesn't know you like I do.

That's one of the new
Ho'oula locations.

Polis reminds me
of my older brother.

All flash, no bang.

Hopefully your
older brother

isn't involved
with drug dealers.

Investment bankers.
Close enough.

That's 'cause I'm, like,
I'm two steps away.

Okay, so just hold
on one second.

We're not the only ones
following him.

Hey, Polis?

Uh, I got to call you
right back.

What's up?

Oh, my God!
Hey, hey, whoa, whoa.

If we confront those guys,
we risk blowing Kai's cover.

Can't let them kill him, either.

Keep out of sight.

I'm not gonna lie. This is gonna hurt.
Huh?

One finger
for every day you stalled.

No, no... wait, wait, wait!
Mr. Polis!

Sorry I'm late. I'm Ms. Hastings

with the Department
of Planning and Permitting.

For the inspection?

Uh... yeah.

Ah, let's hope this one goes
better than the last one.

Right, I'm so...

I'm, I got to do this.

Sorry.

I'll see you.

Yeah, I actually don't
have time to do this.

You're gonna need
to make time.

Thank God your agent was there.

Can you believe
I'm from New York

and I've never been mugged
before?

"Mugged"?

Oh, yeah, it was terrible.

They wanted my watch, my money.

And what did they want
last night

when they assaulted you
at Ho'olua?

Maybe they know that, uh,

my family's wealthy.

Or maybe...

because you're using
your restaurant

to launder their drug money.

What?

No.
We know about the boxes

of cash they keep
in your storage room.

At the least,
you're an accessory.

That's a felony, Chris.

Your best bet is to cooperate.

And let us help you.

Yeah, well, there's
nothing to help with, so...

We know you and Jenny Alika
are being pressured

into signing papers.

Just tell us who's
calling the shots.

We can offer you protection.

No, you can't.

Hey, Chef.

You were waiting
in your car for me?

Uh...

I-I was hoping
to get a word alone.

Chatting me up will
not keep your job.

Doing excellent work will.

Hey, I just wanted
to say thank you.

For, um, giving me
a second chance.

Convince me I made
the right decision.

I will, I will.

So, Ho'olua?

The north wind.
Why'd you choose that one?

Just liked it.

North wind blows in strong,
and then moves on.

I'm guessing that's you.

Uh, it has been.

Traveled where
the work was.

Home does have a way
of pulling you back though, huh?

I'm not sure how long
all this is gonna last.

It's 'cause
of those guys, right?

The ones who gave Chris
a hard time.

You know, I really
can't talk about it.

Okay.

Hey, stop.

Listen, I-I appreciate you being
my knight in shining armor...

Move, move, move, move!

Oh, my God!

You're coming with us.

Should've done this last night.

Move! Move!

Hey, wait, wait, Dad!

No, Dad!

Dad, please put down the gun.

He's not one of them?

I'm a cook, sir.
I work in her kitchen.

I-I was just
trying to help.

You okay, Jenny?

You killed them.
Yeah, they were gonna hurt you.

It's the reason you called me.

No, I called you
for advice, Dad.

I-I wanted you to listen,
not this!

I know how these things work.

Advice won't cut it.

I'll take care
of the rest.

This is NCIS Special
Agent Kai Holman.

I need a bus
and all available units

to 607 Koa Avenue.

Armed suspect, fleeing north.

You're a cop?

He did this?

And many others.

You didn't know?

That my father
was a monster?

No.

He's not listed
on your birth certificate.

Mom said it was
because he was...

some sort of criminal.

How long have you two
been in touch?

I don't know.

Uh, since I left
for culinary school.

- He reached out to you?
- No, I did.

I was in France.

I was on my own, I was lonely.

I had a... old
number of his.

And I called it,
and he picked up.

The same number you called
from the restaurant?

We found your father's phone.
You know, we weren't really close.

But you called him last week?

After I argued with Chris.

And you told him you
had a problem?

I just, I told him
what was going on.

That these guys were
pressuring us.

I didn't ask him to come here.

No one's accusing you.

But you need to tell us
what's going on.

Chris brought in an
investor a few months ago.

A silent partner
with a lot of money,

who wanted to expand
the restaurant.

What's the partner's name?

I don't know.

Chris said he ran
some sort of, like, a...

a private equity group.

I could tell something was off,
but Chris took the money, so...

suddenly these guys are just,

they're in our place
all the time...

just doing God knows what.

They're laundering money.

Yeah.

Yeah, I figured that out
when Chris told me

we had to sign over

controlling interest of Ho'olua.

And he didn't mention a name?

Or anything?

Anything that might help us
identify the investor?

Because if we don't
find him quickly,

your father will.

Excuse me.

You find something?

Maybe. I was running
known associates

of the men Mance shot,
trying to figure out

who they were working for,
and I found this guy.

Alonzo Descanso.

Arrested multiple times
for drug trafficking.

Yeah, in 2004,
both Descanso and Roy Anders

were arrested
for moving cocaine.

They served
five years together.

When Descanso got out,
he got back to business.

This is good, Ernie.

You have an address
for Descanso?

Mm, that's the problem.

He stays under the radar,
moves around a lot.

I can't locate him.

Any sign of Mance?
No.

Guy kills two men
in broad daylight and somehow

evades a hundred cops
searching for him.

You get anything from the chef?

Only one who seems
to know anything

is her business partner,
and he's not talking.

Does he understand
he's facing serious prison time?

Doesn't scare him
as much as Descanso.

I bet I know
what'll scare him more.

Oh! I've been here

for, like, 12 hours!
No food, no water.

You've been here,
like, four hours.

And we asked if
you were hungry.

You can't hold me like this.

Actually... we can.

Uh-uh, I know my rights.

If you don't charge me,
you got to release me.

- You don't want that.
- Yeah, you wouldn't be safe out there.

Well, you know what,
I'm gonna take my chances.

He thinks he can handle himself.

He could barely handle
Descanso's guys.

Mance will
eat him alive.

Wh-Who's Mance?

He is the one

who did this
to your buddies.

He's the most wanted hitman
in the country.

And he's going around
killing everyone involved

in your little
money laundering operation.

And our guess is that you

and Descanso are
next on his list.

But I don't even work with Al.

I'm a victim here.

Well, you sure aren't
acting like a victim.

Covering for Descanso.
Profiting from his crimes.

Though I'm curious
how you got connected

to a known drug trafficker.

It wasn't me.

- It was frickin' Ryan.
- Delucci?

Your sous chef?
Ryan knew Descanso

from back East,
said he was good people.

I should've known it
was too good to be true.

Do you know how hard it is to
raise money for a restaurant?

We don't care, okay?
All we care about

is keeping you alive,
and stopping Mance.

Tell us where
to find Al Descanso.

Or none
of that will happen.

Like we planned.

- Federal agents!
- Hands where we can see them!

- Hands up! FBI!
- You're wasting your time.

Nothing illegal to find here.

Not looking
for evidence.

Just taking out
the garbage.

You got these dirtbags
involved in Jenny's restaurant?

- I never meant...
- Shut up, Ryan.

Don't open your mouth.
My lawyers

will have us out
in two hours.

Good.

Donovan Mance will know exactly
where to meet you.

Donovan Mance is alive?

I'll call Tennant, let her know

we're taking them
to the Bureau field office.

FBI will establish surveillance
in case Mance shows up.

I hope they have
plenty of agents.

Backup's on the way.

See you there.
Yeah.

Well, that's one drug dealer
off the streets.

Jesse!

Jesse! It's Mance.
What the hell?

Don't move,
we'll get an ambulance.
I'm all right, I'm all right.

Down! Get down!

Mance's picture is everywhere.

Every agency on alert, but,
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised

if he's already
slipped off the island.

In which case, it might be years
before he surfaces again.

Ah, man.

Not liking how many of my
agents are getting hurt.

I might have to take a few
weeks off surfing, but I'm fine.

Sure, act all tough now.

But he was whining
like a baby all the way here.

'Cause she hit
every speed bump on the base.

Well, Chris Polis and
Ryan Delucci are cooperating

with our investigation,
so at least we'll be able

to dismantle whatever's left
of Descanso's operation.

But Mance is
still out there.

Got to be something else
we can do.

Maybe one thing.

Guess I'm closing
for good now.

Hey, I'm really sorry
about that, but...

you are gonna be okay, I mean,
you are really, really talented.

Pretty good cook
yourself.

For a cop.

I think I'll enjoy
a smaller place.

Less pressure.

More time to
be creative.

I'll be first in line.

You know, I don't hate him.

He came
when you called.

He cares.

Thank you.

You want me to come in?

I got this.

Hello?

Dad.

You shouldn't be here.

You don't have to be scared.

I'm not.

I never wanted you to know.

I wanted to be
here for you.

The way I never got
the chance to be.

I'm sorry.

I know.

I'm sorry, too.

Don't!

Not in front of your daughter.

You knew I'd come for her.

I thought
you might.

What father doesn't want to say
goodbye to his little girl?

It was worth it.

Hey, Coach.

Hey.

You started
spring training early.

Well, we've got
a shot at state.

But it'll take
a lot of work.

You didn't come
to talk football.

You should be happy for Alex.

Getting recruited is a big deal.

Couldn't be prouder.

I only want what's
best for him.

But... you don't think
Amherst is it?

Most of my players that go
to college on the East Coast,

they don't come home much.

Hawai'i's just too far
to travel.

Yeah.

That would suck.

But I don't think
that's what upset you.

You were away a lot, Janie.

I didn't have a choice.

I know, and I accepted it.

But those were
hard years.

I was... overwhelmed, alone.

I hated it.

I know.

But you were always
so kind not to say it.

You were thousands of miles
away doing God knows what.

Didn't feel right
putting that on you.

But hearing Alex talk

about... being far away...

thinking about
not seeing him...

I had, um...

Feelings.

Daniel.

You had feelings.

I'm sorry, okay, that...

you felt that way, but...

that's not Alex.

He is about to do
amazing things.

It's our job
not to get in the way.

I know!

It's gonna be hard
when he goes.

It's gonna be
really hard.

But we'll get
through it together.

Hey, Pop.

Kai.

Thought you weren't coming.

Yeah, I thought so, too.

Hey.

You were right about one thing.

Just one?

Mom wouldn't want us to fight.

Not just Mom.

Yeah.

Hey, I, um...

I wish I could just forget.

I wish I could put
this anger behind me.

I really do. But I just...

It's important
to remember.

That's what this is.

Hey, you, um,
you remember the...

the last birthday?

Mom was so sick.

She couldn't have
a party and so...

I cooked her all her favorites.

And she just wasn't
up to eating.

So there was, like,
all this food.

I don't remember.

Yeah, you were
at the restaurant.

I was lost, Kai.

I couldn't watch her suffer.

I couldn't
help her.

But you could've
helped me though.

Hey, um...

stew's about to burn.

Yeah. Yeah, you can't have that.

How about I wrap up

some more lau lau,
yeah?

You're not gonna cheat
and use string, huh?

No, mine stay together
better than yours.

Ey, who the one
who teach you that, huh?

This is how it's done.

Yeah, here, let me
see, let me see.

Right here.

Ooh.

It's been a while.

I know, I can tell.
