All language subtitles for Magnum P.I. s07e16 Solo Flight.eng

Failure is one
of life's few absolutes.

Success, on the other hand,
is relative.

For instance, there's the story of
a guy who spent his entire childhood

dreaming of
becoming a fighter pilot.

He joined up at 18, came out of
flight school number one in his class,

soloed like a pro, and was
assigned to a top combat wing.

A week before he was
to fly his first mission

there was a fire
in his barracks.

He pulled two
guys from the flames,

and suffered third-degree burns
to his hands in the process.

He was a hero
and he wound up a general.

But he was never
able to fly again.

Relative success
and absolute failure.

Hey, Thomas.

What?

Hi, Rick.
You want something?

What happened to your hair?

I got a haircut. I thought it would
look a little more, I don't know, mature.

It looks weird.

Well, that's what I was
going for. Mature or weird.

Oh. Hey, look, I don't want
to be the bearer of bad news,

but the accountant called
about your tab again today.

I'll pay the whole thing.

Well, why don't you come up with
the usual? Just a few bucks and...

I said I'd pay the entire tab.

Okay, okay. What are you
getting so upset about?

Upset? I'm not upset. I said I'd
come up with the money. No problem.

Amend that to slight problem.

Pan Pacific Shipping called me
since they couldn't find you.

They wanted to
verify your address

to send you your final
expense check, but no fee.

Right. No fee.

You were fired?

I decided to drop the case.

You were fired.

Which is why I decided to drop
the case. These things happen.

No big deal.

Yes, I guess by now you must be
getting used to being dismissed.

Look, Thomas, don't worry
about your little problem.

I'll cover for you.

I said I would take care
of that little problem.

What little problem? And
why are you getting so upset?

I'm not upset.

Then why aren't you answering
the phone or the door?

Because I wanted a little time
by myself. Is that a crime?

No, but your morning mail
is mildly criminal.

Two letters marked
"Final Notice."

Well, thanks, Higgins, but I don't need
you to pick up my mail. I'll get my own.

Yes, along with
the estate's mail,

which you invariably
forget to give me for days.

No, I'd rather be responsible
for collecting the mail myself.

Well, then leave mine
in the box.

And, Rick, don't cover for me.
I'll take care of the tab.

I don't need a mail delivery
service, and I don't need cover.

Cover.

What happened to your hair?

Oh, this. I'm just trying
something new. How's the back, T. C?

Better.

How did Pop Warner practice go today? Great.

Great? Practice went great?

Why wouldn't it go great?

You weren't there.

Well, not exactly.

I knew you wouldn't...
But I can explain.

Oh, you can always explain.

No, I was just about to leave for the park,
I got this real important phone call...

I knew it was a good idea

to call Jerry Watkins,
just in case. By the time...

Jerry Watkins?

Yeah, he never has to
explain. He always shows up.

You called in a backup?

You couldn't trust me enough?
You called in a backup?

Were you there?

That's not the point.
That's always the point!

Hey, I'm not through yelling
at you. Where you going?

Virginia, to see my mom.

I did want to go to Virginia.
I liked going back.

And it would have
been nice seeing my mom.

But for some reason, there
was someplace else I had to go.

It was a beautiful place, on
a remote part of the island,

but it wasn't the place itself
that I knew I had to see.

I'd remembered seeing it once
when T.C. And I had flown over it.

It had really
caught me at the moment,

but then I'd forgotten about it until lately.

Lately it had been on my mind more and more.

I'm not exactly sure why,

or why I felt the need
to go there today

instead of getting on a
plane and going to Virginia.

Climbing this mountain was
certainly cheaper than flying home.

And besides, the way things
had been going lately,

I knew I'd probably get stuck with the
middle seat for the entire 11-hour flight.

But the main reason had nothing
to do with money or middle seats.

I guess it had to
do with the need

to get to the top of this
mountain, even if I wasn't sure why.

You don't seem to be sure
of anything, Mr. Magnum.

You have no suspects,
you have no leads.

You didn't even get the
haircut I told you to get.

You said you'd have
everything taken care of

by the time I
came back from Europe.

Look, I don't like
to fire people,

but unless you come up with
something by tomorrow, you're out.

Mr. Magnum?

Mr. Magnum.

That's it, I've had it.
You're fired.

Great.

Totally incompetent!

Damn!

I know what you're thinking.
And you're right.

It wasn't worth going on.

I knew that centipede bites
didn't generally kill you,

but on the other hand, I heard you
could get pretty sick from them.

And it didn't make any sense
not to get my neck looked at.

Besides, with the loose
rocks and difficult terrain,

I knew I had to
have all my wits about me

to even get
to the top of the mountain.

And I had to believe that what
was up there wasn't going anywhere,

and that maybe instead

I should just hope for
an aisle seat to Virginia.

I could always climb
this mountain another day.

Keep going, keep going.

Dad, I can't do it!
I wanna stop.

Come on.

Twenty seconds away
from a new record.

I'm tired.

You can do it, Tommy,
you can do it. Keep going.

You know, I'm sure you
could eventually, Mr. Magnum.

But how long would it take?

Six months? A year?

Dad, are you gonna be in
Korea for a whole year?

Well, you don't know how long
you'll be gone in a war, son.

Don't worry,
I'll take good care of Mom.

Mom sure does
cry a lot lately.

Guess that's 'cause you're
going to Korea, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

You guess so?
You're still not sure?

Mr. Magnum,
when can I expect results?

It won't be long now.

Scuttlebutt has it that the
Princeton's gonna relieve us,

and we'll be
home by the 4th.

I hope so,

'cause I don't know if I can wait
till then, I miss you two so much.

Sometimes,
coming back from a mission,

I'm tempted to just keep
flying until I reach San Diego.

Don't, Dad.
You'll run out of gas.

Well, there's only a little
tape left, so I better sign off.

I love...

Don't cry, Mom.

Dad said he'd be
home by the 4th.

Aim!

Fire!

Aim!

Fire!

Aim!

Fire!

Order arms!

It was from a different war,

a different
age of aircraft.

This P-40 and the Navy
Panther jet my dad flew

had little in common
as combat machinery.

But the pilots who
manned them weren't machines.

Looking down on
Pearl or on Korea,

they probably shared in common
a dream of finally going home,

and may also have
shared in common

a moment when they
knew they weren't going to.

I guess that was my main
reason for coming up here.

The plane had
obviously been shot down.

Probably during
the Pearl Harbor attack.

Had the pilot survived?

Had he been
found and rescued?

Had he died in the cockpit, or
trying to get off the mountain?

I didn't know.

But maybe
figuring out the answer

would help resolve
some questions

that I'd never wanted
to ask about another pilot,

and a summer day in Korea.

I know you're trying to
solve the case, Mr. Magnum.

I mean,
I'm not sorry I hired you.

But it's been ten days,

and, well, I need some
sort of progress report.

Something, anything, to get
Mr. Albertson off my back.

Probably got
him in the spine.

Pity you can't solve all your
cases that quickly, Mr. Magnum.

I'll be back from Europe
in three weeks.

I'm giving you until then
to break the case.

Now, get out.

I said get out!

Come on. Twenty seconds
away from a new record.

An hour?

I've been out for an hour?

Magnum, how could you?

You could feel the plane was
shifting, and yet you just sat there.

Oh.

You're just jealous, Higgins. Never
once in your incredible stories

have you ever come up with
having a plane land on your legs.

I don't suppose you could
reach my gear, could you?

See, I got my canteen,

my lunch, my first aid kit.
I got everything I need.

Here's my legs.

I didn't think so.
I'm talking to an airplane.

A lady on an airplane,

but essentially an airplane.

Which is one of the first
warning signs of a bent psyche.

What does that mean?

Simply that there
are so-called professions

that only 40-year-old
adolescents

desperate to prove their
virility would practice.

Well, whatever I'm trying to prove,
at least I'm doing it in the present.

I'm not rehashing
all the mistakes of the past.

Stuck tight, too, huh?

Never mind.
We can deal with the problem.

Matter of fact, I'd like
to get myself out of this

before the guys get here.
I just need to...

To rest a second.

Look, do you mind
a little advice?

Don't fight it.

You just get stuck worse.

Just try and relax
and take some deep breaths.

Great.

Now,

in your own time,
pick a leg,

any leg,

And try to slowly,

gently

move it only.

See, if you get
one leg free,

that'll give you leverage
to pry loose the other one.

Other three.

Oh, no.

Now what?

Go back!

Come on.
You don't want that fly.

If you knew where flies spent
their time, you wouldn't.

Go back!

Got him!

Now, don't move.
Don't move, fly.

Movement just
draws attention to yourself.

I got to do something. They're
gonna arrest me for embezzlement.

Relax.
We'll think of something.

Now, what monster's out there?

The one with big
eyes and teeth.

Oh, yeah, Herman.

Herman.
We'll call him Herman.

See, it's kind of like a
sequel. "The Return of Herman."

I know it sounds ridiculous,
but it worked the last time.

Of course, the last time,
Herman was a shark.

Oh, no. No, no, no, no.

I know what
you're doing, Dad.

Look, you helped me
out the last time,

and I appreciate it, but I got
to get out of this one myself.

Okay?

Of course,
when an idea is a good one,

what difference does it
make where it comes from?

But this is the last time

I'm gonna let you bail
me out, Dad. I mean it.

Hey, Herman,
you wanna play a game?

I know.

I'll bet you'd like
hide-and-seek.

It's a great game.

I'm closing my eyes, Herman,
and I'm slowly counting to ten.

And when I finish,
you better be gone.

One,

two,

three...

Four,

five,

six...

Seven,

eight,

nine,

ten.

Thanks, Herm.

Look, I know you're hungry, but I have
a responsibility to protect my client.

Are you sure you're
at your best right now?

Centipede venom can cause delirium, you know.

I'm fine. And I'll find
your embezzler, Albertson.

And I am not delirious,
and I'm not

hurting.

Probably just asleep.

He shot him in
the femoral artery!

Plug it with your finger!

Put your finger
in it, Cookie!

I can't reach it!

Oh, God,
it's not right!

No!

Don't think about that.

Think about something else.

How many legs
does a fly have?

Higgins, how many
legs does a fly have?

Fly, you hang on.

The guys are
gonna be here soon.

See, the guys
always sort of know

when I'm in trouble
and they come looking for me.

Rick will know.

T.C. Will remember this place,
and he'll figure it out.

Besides, so what if
this is a remote place

where hardly
anybody's ever been?

The last guy who
was here got out.

Sort of.

At least his body did.

Yeah, they'll find me.

Oh, no. Damn it!
Now you've done it.

Didn't I tell
you to stand still?

Cut it out, Herman! What
game are you playing now?

It is quite simple.

You sign
the admission of guilt,

and you will be let
out of your cages.

Given a hot shower,
hot food,

and a bed with cool,
clean sheets.

No, don't fight. Don't
let him know you're scared.

Oh, man.
One of us has had it now.

Not if we keep our heads.

You are three months at Due Hue,
and still you are cracking jokes.

Are you what is
called a tough nigger?

Nobody's gonna die.
Not if we use our heads.

Not if I can
just get this for leverage.

Herman, no!

He shot him in
the femoral artery!

Plug it with your finger!

Put your finger
in it, Cookie!

I can't reach it!

Oh, God,
it's not right!

Fly, you okay?

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Got to stay awake.

Anchors away

Oh, that's too easy.

Third verse. Got to remember the third verse.

Blue

of the

seven seas

Gold of God's great son

Let these our

colors be

Till all

our time be done

Done, done, done

I can't make it, Dad.

Magnum.
Magnum, wake up.

Magnum, please,
I must speak to you.

No! I'm sleeping.

You may never wake up if you
don't wake up this instant.

You have to
stop the bleeding.

This wouldn't have happened
if I had the aisle seat.

Come on, Higgins,
trade with me.

You should be in the middle,

shorter legs.
I'm too cramped.

I'm numb from my knees down.

Why are you going
to Virginia anyway, Higgins?

Come on, answer me.

You don't think I'm capable of flying
there myself? Well, I'm capable.

You're right.

I can't go back to sleep.
I've got to

stop the bleeding.
If I can just...

Stewardess, damn.

I need some help.

I got to stop the bleeding
before they start serving lunch.

I'm really hungry.

Can I have a glass of water?

No.

I'm awake.

Blue

Blue of the seven...

No! I've done that already.

Any requests?

Come on, Herman,
what do you like?

How about you? Any requests?

Sleepytime Gal? Let's see.

Sleepytime Gal...

Oh, I'm sorry about
that rivet in your knee.

I bet that hurts.
You should get it fixed.

You know, we formally
haven't been introduced.

I'm Thomas Magnum.

How about you?

You're shy, huh?

Well, maybe
I'll call you Misty.

Look at me.

I'm as helpless

As a kitten up a tree

Look at me

Look at me when I'm
talking to you, Mr. Magnum.

Stop singing and try to
concentrate on my problem.

I got a thief on the
loose somewhere in my firm.

I got an insurance company

screaming about
covering the losses,

and you stand there with
a belt around your leg,

trying to remember Misty.

Look at me

They screamed but they
covered the losses anyway.

But not your fee, Mr. Magnum.
The insurance doesn't cover that.

Albertson says that I...

That I wasted more of Pan
Pacific's money hiring you.

And he's beginning to hint that I'm
somehow involved in the embezzlement.

Now, please, Mr. Magnum, you've got three
weeks while he's still in Switzerland.

You have to find
the real...

Thief.

Why not Michaels?

You already talked to most of my
key people, and came up empty-handed.

So stop singing,
and go talk to him.

Look at me

I'm as helpless

As a kitten up a tree

Never knowing my right foot

From my left

My hand from my glove

I'm too misty

And too much in love

I did it. Competence.

Is that what you wanted,
Albertson?

No, maybe not.

Well, you got it anyway.

Total competence.

Dad,

did you hear that?
I made it.

I made it through the night.

And I'm gonna make
it out of here

just as soon as I get this...

Did you finish
the fly off fast, Herman?

I hope so. Going slow has
got to be the worst.

Best to go fast.

T. C., come on.

You had all night.

You want me to just lie here?

Must have been awful,
going that slow.

Yes, poor devil.

I can't believe it. After all
those shoot-outs and near misses,

he finally goes
from a centipede bite.

T. C., he bled to death.

He obviously succumbed
from dehydration.

Higgins, I'm sorry, but I
read the coroner's report.

And I was a coroner.
North Africa, 1942.

I was recruited to perform
emergency autopsies for Prince...

Higgie!

Yes, of course. Sorry.

But I've seen
that very same pallor

on the faces of many a camel
who baked in the sun.

Well, whatever got him, at least he
cracked the case that was bugging him.

I trust you're not referring
to that absurd message

Magnum left on the
mountaintop?

Higgins, Thomas had to have
pinned it on the right guy.

Why? Simply because
it was his dying decree?

You never gave Thomas proper
respect for his abilities, Higgie.

That's not true.
Yes, it is.

And you were always
messing with his mail, too.

You're back.

No, no. You can't be the
same one. Herman ate you.

Of course, the rain could've
shook you out of the web.

Well,
it doesn't matter really.

If you're the same guy...
Same fly,

just listen, please.

Stay on your toes. Up there
is off-limits. Just trust me.

Did you ever see the movie,
The Fly?

I'm talking about the
original, not the remake.

Anyway, this guy,

he experiments,
and he switches heads

with a fly.

So he's walking around

with this horrible,
hairy, ugly...

Oh, I guess your empathies
would be with the fly. I'm sorry.

So anyway,
what happens is

the guy has to find the fly

that's got his head, but he
never does, so in the last shot

in the movie we see

this spider web,

and this fly with this teeny
little man's head, saying,

"Help me,

"help me."

Somebody's trying to frame me, Mr. Magnum.

You have to find
the real criminal

before Albertson gets back.
Please,

do something!

Damn it!

I don't believe it. Why
don't clients ever listen?

Cut it out, Herman.
You had dinner.

You just hold on,
fly, and don't move.

No, strike that. That turned out
to be bad advice for my last client.

Unless you are my last
client. Whatever, listen...

You got to help me,
Magnum, help me!

Michaels, you just hold on

till I reach...

Zowie!
You've had it, Herman.

You just yell if he
bothers you again.

We got him!

Who else would have the clout to
stonewall my investigation for six weeks?

When we get out
of here I'm gonna prove it.

Prove what? Why do you want to know
if I have an address in Switzerland?

I fired you this morning,
remember?

Now get!

No! I thought I had you.

I had...

Aim!

Fire!

Aim!

Fire!

Aim!

Fire!

Don't do it.

Rick!

Higgins! Up here!

Pack your bags, fly,
we're home free.

I hope so, Mr. Magnum.

Please, help me.

Help me.

Damn it, Michaels, stop
feeling sorry for yourself.

Pull yourself together.

You're right, of course. You'll
think of something. Won't you?

Come here.

We got 'em now, darling.

Okay, guys,

if you're gonna find me,
now'd be a good time.

I'm holding it up.

I'm holding it up, guys.

I'm holding up the plane.

I can't let go.

Guys!

Help me.

Help me.

Okay,

decision time, guys.
Try to remember physics.

There's one way

I can swing this thing,
and we're out of here,

and about a half a dozen ways

I can swing it
and wish I hadn't.

Rick.

Don't worry about that little
problem, Thomas. I can cover.

Then cover!

Maybe you should
have called Jerry Watkins.

He wouldn't let you down.
T.C.

Magnum, please be calm.

Calm? Calm?

I got an airplane in my face.

Hey, Misty,

you hear those gunshots, or
am I just dreaming 'em up?

I guess it doesn't make
a whole lot of difference.

One way or the other, I'm gonna
have to get myself out of this.

What do you say, pal?

If I could figure
out the leverage,

I just might get
us out of this.

But then you're on your own.

Go on, back off, Herman,

I just need a little more time
to be sure of the leverage.

So long, Misty.
Nice meeting you.

Did you get the pig?
No, he got away, I think.

Did you hit it?
I don't know.

Maybe it's
still in the bushes.

The bugger's still moving.

I'm afraid there's no way

you could have accomplished
that feat, Mr. Magnum.

You see, we already
have the embezzler in jail.

Well, we found a great deal
of cash in Michaels' house.

Cash he cannot explain.

Can you explain the source of
your account in Switzerland?

See, it was just a hunch, since you've
been spending so much time there lately,

but I was able to turn that hunch into
a couple of secret bank account numbers.

Come on.

You can't come up with
secret bank account numbers.

Oh, you can if you
know the right people.

And speaking of that, you'll be
hearing from a friend of mine.

Carol Baldwin. You'll like
her. She's a real nice lady.

And an assistant
prosecuting attorney.

You can't prove anything.

Oh, I think we can.

I picked up
your mail for you again.

Don't bother to thank me. It's
the usual assortment of junk mail

addressed to occupant, and
a couple of past due notices.

My God!

What on Earth...
Rick, hi.

No, I'm fine. Listen,
about my tab at the club...

What could possibly
have hap...

You can tell the accountant to expect
a check by the beginning of the week.

Bye.

Magnum.
Hi, Higgins.

What happened?
I solved the case.

The reward
money's on its way.

No, I mean...

I slipped in my mom's tub.

Oh, T. C., hold on,
just a minute.

Higgins,
it's real busy right now.

I appreciate your
dropping off the mail,

but you won't have
to do that anymore.

I can manage from here on out. Thanks.

You slipped in your
mother's tub?

Yes. And I knew if anybody
would understand, you would.

Quite.

Hi, T.C. No, I'm fine.

Listen,
I thought I might take your

Pop Warner team out for hot
dogs after practice Saturday.

No, I want to.

Yeah, sure, you can invite
Jerry Watkins if you want to.

But you won't
really need a backup.

I'll see you then.
