Captain Thomas Magnum,

l'd like you to meet Lieutenant Commander, Thomas Magnum,

your grandson.

NARRATOR: Last on Magnum.

Why'd you leave the Navy?

Well, it's a...

lt's a bit of a drive back to my hotel.

MICHELLE: Dear Thomas,

as l wríte thís letter, l pray to God that you wíll never read ít.

for íf you do, ít means that somethíng has happened

to separate me from Líly forever.

But íf that should happen, ít ís ímperatíve that she be reuníted wíth her father.

You are that man, Thomas.

l thínk you always knew you were.

Please take care of her and of you.

I always loved you, Míchelle.

Michelle

wanted me to know that Lily

is my daughter.

(HORN BLARING)

(SCREAMING)

Do you think being a private investigator is just an excuse not to grow up?

No. Not really.

No way!

(PHONE RINGING)

l'm sorry to interrupt your vacation... l'll be outside.

...but l've iust received a call from Linda Lee Ellison.

She's a television reporter you dated last year for a short time.

Higgins, l know who l dated.

Then perhaps you also know that she's in the hospital.

Someone tríed to kíll her.

You came back?

Well, when somebody tries to kill somebody,

l just automatically jump on a plane and come home.

lt's kind of a bad habit of mine.

(CLICKING) MICHELLE: Hí, Líly. Líly!

There. Maggie,

she said, ''Búp bê.''

That is ''doll'' in Vietnamese.

(LILY SPEAKING VIETNAMESE)

MICHELLE: No, Líly, there's no tíme.

(CLICKING) Líly. Líly!

She said ''Lily,'' and then there's a click.

That is the sound of a car door opening.

lt's been positively identified.

Lily got out of the car.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

She went to get her doll.

Maggie, she's alive somewhere.

l feel it.

(SCREAMING)

Somebody's trying to kill me!

He has a knife!

(R&B MUSIC PLAYING)

HIGGINS: Your letter of resignation?

Yes.

When will you be leaving?

Right after the wedding.

And l'd appreciate it if you wouldn't mention it to anyone until then.

Now, Higgins, the problem is...

You're still upset about the tape.

What? The video tape.

l owe you an apology, Magnum.

l'd hoped to make it before now,

but with all the wedding preparations...

No, Higgins, believe me.

Well, if there's some other way l can prove to you

that my intentions, however misguided, were nonetheless honorable.

Higgins, please. l know they were.

That is not why l'm resigning.

lt's not?

No.

Now, the problem is...

Jonathan! Jonathan!

Oh! Mr. Magnum, l hope l'm not interrupting.

Jonathan, the caterer is here,

and l believe his table count is dreadfully low.

l'll be right there.

Thank you.

(DOOR CLOSING)

So, the problem is...

Well if it's not the tape, then why this impetuous decision?

lt's not an impetuous decision, Higgins.

l've been thinking about making some changes.

l was going to tell you yesterday,

but l decided, knowing you,

that it would be better to do this a little more formally.

Well what are you going to do?

l can't tell you that. Why not?

lt's part of the surprise.

Does this have anything to do with those papers you were reading?

Yes. Well, no.

Well, yes and no. l told you, Higgins, it's a surprise.

(DOOR OPENS)

Good. Thomas, you're here. l've been looking all over for you.

Hi, Higgins.

Emile said that you have not been measured for your morning coat yet.

And don't put it off till the last minute. Don't worry about it.

lt's taken care of. It's taken care of?

Does that mean you've seen Emile?

No, l mean, l'll take care of it.

Thomas, look, l know you.

You'll be running around like a chicken without his head

before the wedding, Iooking for his phone number.

Rickey, can l see you for a second?

l'll be right there, babe. Hi, Cleo, how are you doing?

Well all things considered, it's a little crazy, but it's going great.

Oh, that's great. Thomas, please take care of this.

Remember, 8:30 at Mario's, and don't be late.

So,

the problem is, Higgins,

l knew who to give my letter of resignation to.

You.

l iust didn't know who to address it to.

Jonathan Quayle Higgins

or Robin Masters.

Oh, come on, Higgins. l'm leaving.

Forever.

What possible difference could it make if you tell me the truth?

Are you or are you not Robin Masters?

Yes.

Yes? Yes.

Yes?

(LAUGHING)

l knew it! l knew it! l knew l was right!

Well? Well, what?

Well, you're Robin Masters, and?

And,

l regretfully accept your resignation.

That's it?

''Yes, l'm Robin Masters,'' and

that's it?

You asked for an answer, l gave it to you.

What else is there to say?

Well, you could start with why such an elaborate scheme to hide your real identity.

Why did you feel it was necessary to pretend that you aren't Robin Masters?

Or that he isn't you?

l think you at least owe me that much of an explanation.

Mr. Higgins, it is very important that you order the flowers today,

otherwise, l cannot insure their timely arrival.

Tradition.

Tradition? Tradition. An excellent choice.

Oh, l think we can accommodate your theme quite nicely.

HIGGINS: Actually, l wasn't talking to you, however, Iet me see what you have.

Tradition?

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Fantastic, isn't it?

Fantastic. Yes. Quite.

l can't believe you guys threw this swell party for me.

You made all the arrangements.

Hi, guys. Sorry l'm late.

Hey, what was the name of that woman you met down on the street here,

last year on your fortieth?

Linda Lee Ellison.

(CLEARING THROAT) Now that you're here.

(CLEARING THROAT)

To Rick, as you enter that final DMZ,

we want you to know that your combat unit is behind you 100O_.

So go get them, buddy! And make the Marines proud!

Here, here. Here, here.

RICK: Thanks, T.C.

Sorry. No problem.

lf you are Robin Masters...

Well, if l might, l would like to add my congratulations.

To Rick and Cleo.

May you have all the happiness you so richly deserve.

ALL: Here, here.

Thanks, Higgins. HIGGINS: You're quite welcome.

Me? l'm sorry. l didn't know we were all gonna...

Okay, Rick, we've been through a lot together,

and l iust wanted you to know

that l don't think you could've chosen a better woman to love than Cleo.

ALL: Here, here. l don't mean love in the physical sense.

Although, l'm sure that Cleo is...

No, no. l'm not sure at all.

ln fact, l don't know anything about that part of...

What l mean to say is...

ls what?

Rick, let's just settle this thing once and for all.

Nothing happened between me and Cleo.

l mean we were on a couple of Iong surveillances together, but that's it.

Cleo is a wonderful woman.

Hey, guy, do you know Cleo? She's the hottest number in town.

That does it!

Nobody talks about my fiancée that way!

Nobody!

Why you little pissant!

(GLASSES SHATTERING)

Look, my friend tends to fly off the handle.

He didn't mean to...

Oh, what the hell!

l think we're in trouble.

Perhaps l should handle this.

You see, sir, the fact is that our...

(GRUNTING)

(LADY SCREAMS)

(METAL CLANGING)

(CHOKING) Higgins.

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

(GLASS CLINKING)

(BOTTLE SMASHING)

(HIGGINS GRUNTING)

(GLASS SHATTERING)

(GROANS)

What happened?

What happened? You...

l'll tell you what happened.

Boy, you were a tiger in there. You know...

You know, when you lose your temper,

you don't even know your own strength.

By God, men, we were all tigers.

Really? Yeah.

We won't be able to go back in there for a while.

(CAR HORN HONKING)

l know another place we can go.

HIGGINS: Lead the way.

RICK: Boy we showed them, huh, guys?

(LAUGHING)

The last time l enjoyed such camaraderie in battle was just before D-Day.

A battle we called Operation Hambone.

Oh, forget it. That's a stupid story.

MAGNUM: Why would you call the other guy,

the guy you hired, and l heard you once,

why would you call him ''Mr. Masters'' on the telephone,

when you thought no one else was around?

Magnum, a man with your intelligence background should know,

the secret to any successful covert operation,

is to maintain the facade even when you are absolutely certain

that the enemy is nowhere around.

Good night.

Maggie, l'm sorry. l didn't know you were coming.

l wouldn't have kept you.

You don't have good news, do you?

l think l knew all along.

lt's funny, you want something, you really want it

and you start to see things a certain way.

You start fooling yourself.

So...

Thank you.

At least, now l know.

Thomas, l'd give anything to tell you your daughter's alive.

Are you okay?

l'm fine.

Hope l didn't catch you at a bad time?

Pretty fancy digs.

lf l'd known you lived so high on the hog, l would've found my way here sooner.

l've been meaning to get to this tree for a long time.

lsn't there an easier way to do that?

You don't have to say it, l can see it in your eyes.

You're wondering,

''What the heck is the Captain doing in these parts anyhow?''

Well, sir, suppose l told you that l'm here because, well...

Because

you sort of wanted to talk about some things,

and instead l kind of slipped out the back door when you weren't looking.

You know, l was thinking that taking a little detour through Hawaii,

On My Way from Miami to Anchorage,

might demonstrate a certain amount of, oh, contrition on my part?

Enough maybe to warrant a couple of days of your time at least?

But l can go on my way if you'd prefer.

(PANTING)

You can do whatever you want.

(GASPS)

l didn't do nothing!

PAGE: Name is Whitney Fisher. A real fruitcake.

He had pictures of Miss Ellison plastered all over his hotel room.

Along with his own little artwork.

Typical of that kind of drifter, loser.

So what happens next?

There's not much to go on.

He'll be arraigned. Maybe go to trial.

Probably be sent to a nice little rest home run by the state.

But no matter, the point is,

he's off the street, and your friend is safe.

Which she'll probably wanna hear from your lips.

Hello, Thomas.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hi, Diana.

How are you doing?

Fine.

Then maybe not.

Listen, l've got a couple of tickets

to the Rainbow game this afternoon.

You paying attention?

To the Rainbow game this afternoon.

l'm gonna be bogged down with this,

so you're welcome to them.

Well, l have an appointment.

And, there's also someone l should talk to.

Thanks, anyway. Uh-huh.

Well, sir, the day he left, he took me aside,

very serious, he said,

''Dad, if anything should happen to me,

''l've left my will inside the Bible.''

(LAUGHS)

No kidding?

No, that was your father.

Now this is an eight-year-old boy,

a child,

and he's written a will so that his mother and! l won't bungle up his estate.

Yeah, he was always very concerned

that things went the way they were supposed to go.

Sometimes it seemed like he was the parent and l was the son.

And that's just the way he was.

Oh! l almost forgot! l brought you something.

(EXHALES)

Havanas.

Yes, l still have connections where they count.

Thanks. This was given to me by my father.

How did you know l liked cigars?

lf your name is Thomas Sullivan Magnum,

you love cigars.

''A woman is only a woman,

''but a good cigar is a smoke.'' Rudyard Kipling.

The Betrothed.

''You must choose between me and your cigar.''

Exactly.

So, why did you leave the Navy, Captain?

Why did you?

All right, all right.

Let me put it another way.

You think, uh, Dad would've ever left?

l don't think so.

l think the first word out of your father's mouth was commitment.

Tom was quite a little adult.

l think somehow he knew that he wasn't going to have much time,

and he wanted to be sure

that he made the most out of what time he did have Ieft on this earth.

Why didn't you come to his funeral?

Nobody should lose a child.

lt's something you never get over.

l didn't know that for a lot of years.

l guess, l thought l...

lf l kept moving on l could leave some of that pain behind.

Ah, hell!

Who am l kidding?

l have always had the wanderlust.

Never was comfortable sitting still.

l wanted to be the kind of guy who could,

you know, stick around for the long haul, but,

l don't know, somehow...

You just get the itch.

Yeah.

Thomas Sullivan Magnum l.

What was your father like?

Very much like your father.

l guess the wanderlust just skips a generation.

Yeah. l can't say that l regret it.

l don't really regret anything.

l said goodbye to your father in my own way.

But l do sometimes wonder.

About what?

Oh, l don't know. About

what it would be like to stick around long enough

to really get to know somebody,

instead of taking off when they get too close.

Well, maybe it's not too late, Grandpa.

(PHONE RINGING)

You found some foolproof method

for teaching old dogs new tricks?

Not exactly foolproof.

Hello.

Hi.

l'm a little busy right now.

l really don't think there's anything Ieft to say.

Yeah. Of course l know where it is.

All ríght, 8:OO tomorrow morníng.

MAGGIE: Thomas.

l want you to know that the other day when you showed me the tape,

l really believed you.

lt's okay, they're with me.

Maggie, what's going on?

l know how you feel about Buck.

And l don't always agree with him either.

ln fact, sometimes l don't really understand

why he's done some of the things that he's done.

The French government,

as far as they're concerned and everyone else,

your daughter Lily is dead.

Thomas, coming to you the other day,

was the hardest thing l've ever had to do.

l've never lied to you before,

but if you had kept on investigating,

you would've endangered Lily's life.

Papa!

(HONKING)

Captain!

Captain!

(LAUGHS)

Okay, you wait right here.

l am going to introduce you to your great-grandfather.

(SPEAKING VIETNAMESE) Your grandfather, old grandfather, wait.

Grandpa?

LILY: Papa.

l'm coming, Lily.

J Well

it looks like you're not gonna get a chance to meet your great-grandfather this time.

See, he kind of felt that he had to leave.

But don't be mad at him, he's really a great guy.

That's just the Captain.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

He came back! He came back.

l'm coming, Captain!

Carol. Come on in. Hi.

You left a message on my machine.

l know. Yes, you said it was urgent.

l know. Come on, come here.

Come on.

Carol, l want you to meet my daughter, Lily Catherine.

Hello.

Your what? Yes.

You have a... Yes.

And you never told me?

Oh, now, don't start in.

But no, we're supposed to be friends,

and you never happened to mention that you have a daughter.

l was gonna tell you, l just couldn't figure out what to say.

Well, how about, ''Carol, did l ever tell you that l have a daughter?''

Búp bê, Papa.

Oh! Okay, honey.

Búp bê.

She wants her dolly.

(CAROL EXHALES)

You have a daughter.

Thomas, you have a daughter.

Carol, l already told you that.

Now listen, l need a favor.

Here you go, darling. This'll have to do.

This is Auntie Carol.

Thomas.

Carol. Carol?

Exactly.

Oh, Thomas.

Auntie Carol is going to look after you for a while.

While Daddy...

Daddy.

...runs some errands.

l have a surprise for Rick. Actually, it's a surprise for all of you.

So will you stay, Auntie Carol?

Well, of course, l mean...

But l want to talk to you about this. l know.

Now l mean it, Thomas.

Yes, but l can't right now, honest.

And l really appreciate this. l'll be back.

Oh, she doesn't speak any English.

Just French and Vietnamese.

CAROL: What?

(DOOR OPENING)

Thomas!

(DOOR CLOSES)

Bonjour.

Higgins!

Oh, geez, Thomas. l forgot all about telling him.

Higgins. Thomas, l got to talk to you.

No, l'm kind of in a hurry right now, Rick.

l have... Why the dark glasses?

No reason. Kenji will show you.

We have an additional member of the wedding party.

Thomas. At this late hour?

Carol will tell you all about it. l gotta run.

Thomas!

What?

l'm just gonna say it. l asked T.C. to be my best man.

Oh, okay.

Well, l know how much it means to you,

and l'm really sorry to spring it on you like this.

lt's okay. l just...

Hey! What, what about the fitting?

l don't need it! Thomas!

Dad, Dad.

l don't want anything to go wrong. Dad.

Hey, baby.

Welcome to Hawaii.

Hi, Bryant.

You're getting so big.

(PLANE TAKING OFF)

Uh, Dad?

Did mom say anything to you about coming to Hawaii?

Tina?

Surprise!

l got to the airport and...

Well, here l am.

Well, this has nothing to do with the fact

that the last time l let Melody come alone she was kidnapped.

l wasn't planning on staying long.

Actually, l didn't have any plans at all.

l iust thought l would come over

and stay awhile, and see.

Oh, just a minute.

Miss, here. Keep the change.

Lieutenant, l think we've got a problem.

Great, get those inquiries back yet?

That's it.

Whitney Fisher was locked up in the state hospital

at the time of both attacks on Linda Lee Ellison.

Whoever was after her is still out there.

So there's no chance of a mistake?

No, sir, l think we should call Thomas.

MAGNUM ON ANSWERING MACHINE: ...and telephone number. Thank you.

PAGE: Magnum! Hey, Magnum!

Hello, hello?

DIANA: Now what? l'm calling the girl.

(RINGING)

LINDA ON ANSWERING MACHINE: Hello, l'm not here ríght now.

Please leave your name and number and l'll get back to you.

(ANSWERING MACHINE CLICKS)

PAGE: Thís ís Líeutenant Page, ít's very ímportant that you get back to me ríght away.

Thank you.

l'm glad l caught up with you.

Me, too.

l just... l couldn't leave it the way it was.

Thanks.

l think it's really wonderful you're gonna spend time with your daughter.

Thanks.

And l think it's great, what you've decided to do.

(WEDDING MUSIC PLAYING)

What's that?

Music for the guests as they arrive.

The guests are arriving now?

No, the musicians are rehearsing.

RICK: Where is Thomas?

He'll be here!

He's not coming.

He's covering up on the whole thing.

He was really upset about that best man thing.

That's why he said he didn't need a morning coat.

Well, he doesn't have one of mine.

l knew it!

He'll be here. Relax, will you?

l... l, Rick Wright...

(DOGS YELPING)

l, Rick Wright...

l, Rick Wright...

Guys, do you think maybe l'm rushing into this thing?

MAN: Thomas.

Thomas.

Thomas.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

(LAUGHTER ECHOlNG)

(LIQUID BUBBLING)

Thomas.

(LAUGHING)

MARK: You had to get in the way.

l wouldn't hurt her, l just wanted to scare her.

And it worked, she needed me.

l was more than iust a security guard to her.

Then she betrayed me.

But l could see,

it was your fault.

(GRUNTS)

Hi, l'm Jim Bonig.

Don't even start with him.

l can't believe Thomas didn't show up,

iust because he's not the best man.

That's so petty. Higgins, your sunglasses.

Oh.
