All language subtitles for Magnum P.I. s02e02 Dead Mans Channel.eng

- Do you see anything?
- Negative, sir. Pull up on the port side.

Looks deserted.

Throw the line.

Heading back.

'l was late for my appointment
with a prospective client

'but I had a terrific excuse.

'In fact, I had it with me,
all 60 pounds and two horns of it.'

(Goat bleats)

- Thomas Magnum?
- Marion Hammond?

The private investigator?

You're probably wondering about the goat.

Let me drop off my friend and then we'll talk.

Here we go.

- (Goat bleats)
- Oh, boy.

I'll be right with you.
Come on, Horace. Here we go.

Argh ! Don't eat Higgins' flowers, Horace.
I'll be right back.

See, I'm taking care of Horace for a friend.

OK, Horace, you're on your own.

She's nine years old
and her grandmother's visiting

and she's allergic to goats.

By the way, have you seen Higgins? He's a
little man. He's English and hates surprises.

- No.
- He's probably still at the vet's.

See, his dogs have been
off their feed lately...

Listen, are you sure
you're Thomas Magnum?

Oh, yeah.

Oh... (Laughs)

I'm sorry about all the distractions.
What have you heard about your father?

- Was the Coast Guard any help?
- They know he was in the Nihoa Channel.

When they found his boat
there was no sign of him.

Nobody else was in the channel.
At least nobody came forward.

The locals believe that the channel's
cursed to anybody but themselves.

- It's sacred water.
- I know all about that.

- Why'd he go out there?
- I don't know.

- It wasn't like my father to go diving alone.
- He went diving?

Yeah, they found his scuba gear
laid out on deck.

- Then he never made his dive?
- No.

The waters were calm that day.

My father was an experienced seaman.

You know, he didn't get washed overboard.

l have a feeling that this wasn't an accident.

I told you on the telephone,
I want you to find my father. Will you?

I have $2,000 in scholarship money.
You can have it all.

- Scholarship money?
- Yeah.

I was getting my doctorate in Marine
Biology at the University of San Diego.

Till this happened.

- I don't want your scholarship money.
- But it's all I have.

Well, we'll talk about money later.

'Marion was staying on her father's boat
and wanted to buy groceries.

'I went right to work but I couldn't get
the time of day from the locals at the dock.

'They weren't about to discuss the Nihoa
Channel with any haole investigator.

'I decided to seek comfort from a friend.'

Hey, Rick !

- Hi, Thomas !
- How are you doing?

What are you doing down here?

- I'm on a case and I'm getting nowhere.
- I wish I could help

but I'm expecting a couple of club members
any minute now.

- Can I have a cold beer?
- Yeah.

No. The freezer's not freezing. I'm waiting
for the guy to come here and fix it.

A little warm wouldn't hurt.

Thomas, you can't drink warm beer.
You'll get heartburn.

- Rick, I don't get heartburn !
- Maybe it was TC.

(Car horn)

That's your freezer repair man?
He does well for himself.

Must be a union crew.

- Hey, Rick, how's it going, buddy?
- Fine.

- Well, see you later, Thomas.
- Rick.

- What?
- That guy has a gun.

- A gun?
- You know, bang bang, kills people.

- That's how he fishes.
- (Laughs) He shoots 'em?

- Don't you remember, like we did in Nam?
- No.

See you later, Thomas.
Cast off for me, will you?

OK, Thomas, let her go.

Thanks.

- Hope you land a big one, Rick.
- Bye, Thomas.

You want to know what happened
to Captain Hammond?

That's right.

It's taboo for my people
to talk of the channel.

The Nihoa waters are sacred.
They belong to Ta'aroa.

- Ta'aroa?
- God of the sea.

No haole may enter the channel.
All who do, die.

Well, the Navy's been going out
in that channel for quite a few years.

Nothing seems to have happened to them.

Everything is done in Ta'aroa's time.
You have been warned.

'Charming little club,
made you wanna laugh.

'Till you remembered people
disappeared in that channel.'

(Whistles) Magnum.

- Hi.
- How you doing?

- Good.
- What did you find out?

Ta'aroa doesn't want
any haoles swimming in his pool.

- ls this your father's boat?
- Yeah.

- Has your father always lived on a boat?
- Yes. He loved the sea.

Our love of the ocean was the only thing
my father and I had in common.

There wasn't a lot of contact between us.

You know, I don't even know
why I care about what happened to him.

He never cared much about me.

I used to do everything
to make him proud of me.

I learned how to sail, I learned how to dive,
I learned how to fish. It didn't matter.

Even when I was a kid, no matter what I did,
it would never be enough.

You better let me check this out.

Obviously ceremonial.

Very interesting.

I think I know what this is.
I just want to make sure.

Keone, could you come here
a moment, please?

Keone is my assistant.
He's an expert on island cults.

This is Nat Hammond's daughter, Marion.

- How do you do?
- And Mr Thomas Magnum.

Could you tell us what this is?

This is Tupuna, the knife of Nihoa.

It brings with it Ta'aroa's curse.
Haoles should not possess it.

Keone.

Thank you.

Keone's a bit blunt at times
but his knowledge is indisputable.

Nat Hammond must've done something
to anger the Nihoa cult people.

Are they responsible
for my father's disappearance?

No, of course not.

I didn't mean to imply that at all.

Have you any idea why Captain Hammond
was in the Nihoa Channel

the day he disappeared?

None whatsoever.

Did he ever talk with you about
what kind of research he was doing?

Your father was a very secretive man.

He liked to be sure of himself before making
others aware of his so-called discoveries.

So-called discoveries?

Excuse me, but my father
has been credited with genuine finds.

A few.

Professor, maybe my father never
sat behind a desk or taught school

but he gave his life to the sea
and researching these islands.

And his groundless
theory on Kulturkreise...

Hold it. Please. What is Kulturkreise?

Culture circles. The belief
that an invention starts in one place

and spreads outward to other countries
in ever-widening circles.

Like ripples when you drop a stone
into a pond.

For example... Let me show you
evidence I use in my new book.

This Hawaiian costume, I believe,
was influenced by Spanish conquistadors.

Can you see the similarities?

There is a resemblance but I thought
the Spanish came here much later.

Well, although,
there's no direct documentation,

their trade routes went by these islands.

So it's more than likely
that at least one ship stopped here.

I guess that makes sense.

Except that it makes the Hawaiians
very unimaginative people.

Contrary to the theory in your book,

my father believed in the theory
of simultaneous evolution.

In other words, that all around the world,

in different civilisations,
people came up with their own inventions.

Some of which happen to be
very similar to one another.

Unfortunately, he based that
on the flimsiest of evidence.

(Bell)

- Excuse me, I have a class now.
- Sure.

It was very nice to meet you both.

And if I can be of any further assistance,
or Keone can, please don't hesitate to ask.

- Thank you.
- Bye-bye.

You don't like her very much, do you?

How'd you guess?

'There were people
I'd rather question than Tehani.

'But who knows? Maybe under that muumuu
there was a heart of gold.'

What are you, the Priestess who ordered
the ransacking of Hammond's boat?

I have no interest in Captain Hammond
or his boat.

He was simply another haole
seeking riches.

What riches?

(Sighs)

Thank you !

Hey ! You're off your diet. That's great.

Admiral Jenkins lift the rule about staying
within 10 pounds of your enlistment weight?

You don't understand.
I was practically engaged. Me and Ruth.

She left me for a tuna boat captain.

So that's the reason
for the two scoops of chocolate

and butterscotch, nuts, that's great.

- There's banana in there.
- There were cherries.

What do you want from me?

- Me, want?
- Yeah, want.

Now you mention it,
I do have a client with a missing father

- who was last seen in the Nihoa Channel.
- So?

- He was diving for treasure.
- In the Nihoa Channel?

- That's where you come in.
- No, that's where I leave.

Mac, I just figured that you could use
those computers of yours

to put together a list of ships that went down
in that channel in the last 200 years.

Magnum, what do you think
those computers are? My toys?

The Navy's not gonna care if you use them
for extracurricular activity.

- The hell they're not. Nol
- Mac !

Did I tell you that next Tuesday
I'm having lunch with Admiral Jenkins?

We're gonna talk about
a physical fitness programme.

It'll just be great to see old iron pants.

No, you didn't tell me that.

'Mac seems
to be wedded to the book of regulations

'but his heart's in the right place.

'With just a little encouragement,
Mac obliged me with the computers

'and they scrolled out a list of ships
as long as the Honolulu phone directory.

'The Nihoa Channel was one dangerous
place and had been for a long time.

'I decided to consult an expert
to check the list out.

'I only hoped he hadn't
discovered my house guest.'

(Goat bleats)

(Goat bleats)

- Ah ! Just the man I wanted to see.
- I want to speak to you...

Before you start,
there's something I want to explain.

Please, hear me out.
Ever since I came back from the kennels,

I've been disturbed
by some most peculiar sounds.

I can't locate the source. It's very puzzling.

- Sounds?
- Emanating from the grounds.

- Yet, it just isn't possible.
- Why not?

Because I know what's making the sounds.
It's an animal.

- Really?
- Yes.

I last heard those sounds
on the Zambezi in the African plain.

It's the unmistakable cry of the kudu buck
calling to its doe.

(Goat bleats)

There it is again !
You did hear it, didn't you?

Hear what?

Oh, Higgins,

there's something I want you to look at.
What do you make of that?

What is it?

(Goat bleats)

It's a list of ships
that the computer produced

that could have gone down
in the Nihoa Channel.

Strange.

No native vessels.

You know, I never noticed that. You're right.

- Maybe no one reported them.
- Perhaps.

- There is supposed to be a curse.
- Yes, I know all about it.

- A group of Hawaiians...
- It's sacred.

- No haoles...
- Should ever go there.

lf you know so much,
why are you asking me?

- I'm sorry, Higgins.
- (Goat bleats)

- That's interesting.
- What?

What?

The Eldora. A Spanish galleon.

Used to carry the plunder back
from Spain's numerous conquests.

- But what was she doing here?
- I don't know and I don't care !

Are you saying
there could be a treasure ship there?

No. I'm interpreting
the data from the computer.

! ti wenk I -
.wonk t'nod uoy gnihton s'ereht smees tI -

Hammond knew about it
but they killed him before he got to it.

(Goat bleats)

Well, it's been a long day.
I think I'll turn in early.

Sure you won't join me
in a brandy and soda?

No. I had a whiskey after lunch.

I think that perhaps is sufficient for today.

Bye.

(Goat bleats)

'I wanted to take a look
at that channel myself.

'Rick, being a friend,
would loan me the King Kamehameha l.

'At first Rick wasn't crazy about the idea
but I appealed to his better nature.

'Of course, it didn't hurt to drop
a couple of hints about a sunken treasure.'

I see you have diving gear.

- You refuse to listen.
- I listen.

Maybe sometimes
I just don't take good advice.

That's the trouble with you haoles.

- Hi, Rick.
- Hello, Thomas.

- I see you've met.
- Yeah, we sure have.

- Hello, Thomas.
- Hi, Marion.

Marion said you'd give me the skinny
on the treasure. What's the payoff?

Hard to tell with treasure.

- Should I cast off?
- Yes, you may untie the bow.

ls that the front?

Here.

- Look out, Thomas !
- Thomas !

- I gotta find him.
- Did you see him?

You all right?

(Coughs)

Where's that guy?

He hasn't come up yet.

Thank you. That could have been me
if you hadn't known how to dive.

Thank my father, he taught me.

He would've been very proud of you.

He's dead, isn't he?

I think so.

Do you think that man, Keone, killed him?

Well, it would make sense. He sure didn't
want us to go out in that channel.

Well, I took care of it for the time being,
with the usual promises of not leaving town.

Sorry you had to go through this, honey.

Does that mean we're not
going out into the channel?

I wouldn't advise it.
Not until the police leave the dock.

Marion, if there's treasure out there,
it'll still be there in 24 hours.

- It's not the treasure I was thinking about.
- I know.

I'm gonna go down below and change.

(Sobs)

(Goat bleats)

Hi, Higgins. What are you doing?
Cleaning the old rifles again?

- I'm going hunting.
- Hunting what?

The kudu buck that is roaming freely
on this estate.

And don't tell me
it's a figment of my imagination.

Figments don't eat rare tropical flowers.
Mine have been decimated.

Higgins, now you just listen to me.

Before you shoot anything,
you ought to know this.

You can't tell me about kudus.

- I've studied them at close range.
- Then you know what they look like.

- Little horns.
- Great antlers.

- This tall. Little chin whiskers.
- Much larger.

Don't be ridiculous. That's a goat.

I'm talking about a type of antelope
found only in the...

Magnum, are you telling me
the animal in question is...

- A goat.
- A wild goat?

Tame, a child's pet, called Horace.

You can't shoot it when you know its name.

How did a goat get on Robin Masters'
estate? l...withdraw the question.

Remove the creature immediately.

Come on, Higgins, just another day.

- One more. And I'll...
- You'll what?

- I'll give up the tennis courts.
- You don't have the tennis courts.

Oh.

How about a share in the buried treasure?

The treasure? You don't know where it is.
The Eldora could be anywhere.

You could say that.
But certain clues tell me that I'm warm.

- Very warm.
- You're sure?

You're absolutely positive?

I'm about as positive as a person can be.

I wouldn't want the treasure for myself.

I'm only thinking of the contribution
I could make to The British Museum.

Naturally.

I'll give you and the goat 24 hours.

(Goat bleats)

(Goat bleats)

I just can't believe it.

He was such a good student
and excellent assistant.

He worked so hard.

May I borrow this?

Thank you.

Did Keone ever mention the Eldora?

No. Why?

I think it's at the bottom
of the Nihoa Channel.

- What?
- Yeah.

Well, that would make sense then.

Considering the Spanish influence
I believe occurred on these islands.

- Do you think Hammond discovered her?
- Yeah.

That would be just like him.

To discover something supporting
my theories and then not reveal it.

ls that why Keone killed him?

Do you really think Keone killed Hammond?

Keone died trying to keep me out of
that channel. Why not Hammond?

I have to believe what Keone did to you
was just an act of religious fervour.

He only intended to frighten you.

You've seen the depth of feeling
these people have.

One must respect that.

Well, you're probably right.

Maybe Keone wasn't interested in merely
preserving the sanctity of the channel.

You better be right, sweetheart.

- When have I ever been wrong?
- I can't count that high.

I think we're just about over it.
Can you cut your engines?

OK.

- Sure you don't wanna go diving with me?
- No, no.

I'll stay right here.
There could be emergencies.

Turn it on, will you?

OK. Tank's on.

(Whoosh of air)

All set?

'Thinking about Hammond, Keone
and the Nihoa cult,

'I began to wonder
what I was doing by myself

'at the bottom of a dangerous channel.

'I consoled myself with the knowledge
that firearms didn't work underwater.

'lf anyone tried to hurt me, they'd have
to get close enough to use a spear gun.

'And, so far, I seemed to be alone.

'It didn't exactly look like a Spanish galleon.
In fact, it looked more like a large tablet.

'And its few engravings
hardly made for treasure.

'My first question was -
what did Hammond want with it?

'My second - what was I going to tell
Rick and Higgins?

'Congratulations, guys,
you're part owners of a piece of the rock'?'

I got one.

I got it.

I got it.

- Well, did you find it?
- You could say that.

Great ! Where is it?

Well, it's been down there quite a while...

- Wait. There's nothing wrong, is there?
- No.

There's nothing wrong.
It's just there's a lot of coral and things.

It's going to be hard to get up, that's all.

God, you scared me for a minute.

There's people I'd like to talk to
before we do more.

- Like who?
- Technical experts. That sort of thing.

- Come on.
- So it takes a little longer.

What difference does it make?
It's not gonna be the end of the world.

(Rick grumbles)

(Engine starts)

'It's normal for people to behave strangely
when it comes to sunken treasure.

'I left Rick feeling
pretty sure he'd get his share.

'I just didn't tell him his share of what.'

(Sniffles) Hi. Come on in.

You OK?

I was just going through
some of my father's things.

Trying to see if I could
find anything that would help.

- Marion.
- I f... I found...

- I found...
- Found what?

Everything.

Everything I'd ever written.
Every picture ever taken of me.

Report cards, school certificates, everything.

He kept it all.

He must've loved you very much.

Why, why didn't he tell me?

I don't know.
Some fathers have a hard time doing that.

Yeah.

I guess I'm not as tough as I used to be.

I don't know about that.

See, l...I always tried to be like my father.

I thought it was better
not to show your feelings.

It meant you were strong.

May I?

Yeah.

But he wasn't any stronger.

He was just sadder, that's all.

And I don't want to be like that.

I don't think you have to worry about it.

Thanks.

Marion, remember when you told me
about your father's research?

- Yeah.
- What was he trying to prove?

That people in different parts of the world
could have the same idea.

Like the Spanish
didn't influence Hawaiian dress?

Yeah, right.

What would it take
to prove something like that?

Something predating the conquistadors.

Something that would show things
they'd supposedly influenced.

Like a stone tablet
with some costume warriors carved on it?

- You found something like that?
- Yeah.

Oh, boy.

lf it proved your father's theory was right,
then Professor Martinez's theory is wrong.

What if she knew
what your father had found?

I've been thinking. We haven't decided how
we're going to divide the treasure.

Treasure? Doesn't he know?

- Know what?
- That Marion and I have already decided.

Equal shares for everyone.
Isn't that right, Marion?

Sure. Equal shares.

Look.

All right, Rick. I'm gonna pull up alongside.
Get ready to jump.

OK, go !

Nice going, Rick.

Catch the rope. Marion, catch it.

- What'd you find?
- Bunch of stuff for making bombs.

- Detonators and wires.
- Marion, you're not going down.

I'll strangle her.

'Marion wasn't easy to catch.

'She also wasn't cooperative
when I signalled her to go back up.

'She was displaying the same stubbornness
that probably got her father killed.'

(Pants)

- You killed my father !
- Hey ! Hey ! Wait a second. Hold on.

- She killed my father.
- Just take it easy, wait a second.

- Where's Thomas?
- He's still down there with the bomb.

(Muffled ticking)

'This was a day
I wished I'd listened to my mother

'and studied to be an orthodontist.

'Looking into someone's mouth has gotta be
better than staring death in the face.'

(Explosion)

Hi, guys.

- (Rick laughs)
- Thomas !

Still mad at me?

(Speaks Hawaiian)

Thank you.

Tehani sure has been a lot friendlier
since she found out about the tablet.

Yeah, she didn't mind our trespassing
so much, once I showed her what we found.

- I'll send you your fee.
- I'll send it straight back to you.

Your father would've wanted
you to finish your studies.

- I'll tell you what I will want, though.
- What?

I want a copy of your doctoral thesis
when you finish it.

You got it.

- Magnum.
- Hey.

I'll see you again.

Thanks.

Airport.

Rick, what's going on?

Thomas, I'll tell you.

I find it very difficult working out my
retirement on my share of the treasure.

Rick, who are those guys, anyway?

Those guys?

Well, it was a convention.
Come on, cast me off, I gotta go.

- Rick !
- Bye, Thomas !
