All language subtitles for Hawaii Five-O 1968 S10E03 The Cop on the Cover 1080p WEB-DL AAC2 0 H 264-squalor_track3_[eng]

Weve got your kids!

Just follow orders.

No cops.

Theres a reporter
in town, Steve.

Terri obrien.

One thing puzzles me
about five-o.

There isnt a woman on the team.

He reads minds.

Moala, youre covered.

Look up the channel behind you.

Throw your gun down
and come out.

Truth doesnt come floating in
on the morning tide.

Sometimes you have to dig
for it.

Confucius?

No. Mcgarrett.

[ "Hawaii five-o" theme plays ]

Its all right, Mr. Burroughs.
No problem at all, sir.

Well, actually were three weeks
ahead of schedule.

Thats right.

See you later this evening
at the party.

Fine.

Thanks.

Will that be all, Mr. Longworth?

Mm-hmm.

Stu, something must have
happened to them.

Oh, dont borrow trouble.

They know were due
at the Gordons at 7:00,

and they both have watches.

If were late,

they can bloody well do without
the Van for a week or two.

Em, honey, why is it the best
surf always seems to come up

just before
you have to split for home?

Youre as bad as they are.

[ Telephone rings ]

Hello.
This is longworth.

Im sorry. I didnt get that.
Say it again.

Weve got your kids!

What is it?
The children?

Now, listen carefully.

Yes.

You want to see Jason
and hilary alive again,

dont blow your cool.

Just follow orders.

Keep a low profile.
Understand?

No cops.

How much is the fare?

25 cents.

[ Coughs ]

[ Buzzer ]

[ Buzzer ]

[ Telephone rings ]

Hello.

We received the money.
You may call your husband now.

[ Siren wails ]

Daddy! Daddy!

We have all available manpower
on the longworth case.

Ill keep you posted.

If thats all, sir,
I think I might get back.

Not quite.

Theres a reporter in town,
Steve.

Terri obrien
from

newsworld magazine.

The editor wants to do
a cover story.

I know. I bowed out.

But the publisher
appealed to me personally.

Steve, its the new
"in" magazine.

Booming circulation.

Free national publicity
for the islands and five-o.

Governor, im a cop,
not a p.R. Man.

I dont have the time to be
bird-dogged by a reporter

to pose for pictures.

Im not asking you to pose
for a centerfold, Steve.

No, theres a lot more
to be gained here than lost.

A minor inconvenience.
Thats all it will mean.

Governor, I have never
questioned an order or request

youve made of me,

but I must ask you to seriously
reconsider this one.

Steve, suppose they decide
to do a cover story

without your cooperation.

It could be very damaging
to all of us.

No. Sir, youll have to accept
my judgment on this one.

No, I dont, Steve.

I hate to pull rank on you,

but I must insist that you
go through with this.

Governor, I hate to be stubborn,

but I seriously question
your judgment on this one.

Oh, you Irish are all alike --
hot heads!

Now, cool off and settle down.

Very well, sir.

I will be as sincere
and cooperative as I can be.

Hope you brought more beer.

I worked up quite a thirst

getting rid
of those tire tracks.

Made the headlines.

Very big on the tube, too.

Now all we have to do is wait

for the Robin hood caper
to work.

A $50,000 gift makes Robin hood
a piker.

They havent said anything
about moala yet.

Dont worry.
Theyll come down on him fast.

[ Laughs ]

All right.
Enough kidding around.

Characterize your boss for me
in 10 words or less.

Hey, thats a heavy assignment.

Oh, hes dedicated, honest,

intuitive,

tough when I has to be, daring,

and eminently fair.

The John Wayne of waikiki.

Hey, please, just quote me
on what

I

say.

[ Door opens ]

Im expecting a reporter
sometime today,

a Mr. Obrien.

Its

miss

obrien.
Terri for short.

Im glad you changed your mind

about the interview,
Mr. Mcgarrett.

I didnt change my mind.
The governor did.

Oh. I seem to have come
at a bad time.

One time is as bad as another,
miss obrien.

Look on the bright side
of things, Mr. Mcgarrett.

It will be quite painless,

and when im finished youll be

one of the biggest
tourist attractions

since mauna loa erupted.

The sooner we start,
the sooner we finish.

Ask Duke to join us, please.

After you.

Why the tape recorder?

If you dont mind.

Its not that I dont have
total recall,

but some people have
second thoughts

and claim they are misquoted.

Come on in, gentlemen.

Youve met miss obrien.

Heres Duke lukela,
another member of our team.

Miss obrien is here at
the invitation of the governor.

She wants to see
how five-o functions.

Im here to interview you,
Mr. Mcgarrett, not five-o.

Miss obrien,
you have a job to do,

and im under direct orders
to cooperate.

So long as your job
does not interfere with mine,

we can avoid a collision course.

I agree.

So why dont you gentlemen
get on with business as usual?

Oh, one more thing.

Anything regarding our caseload
is strictly confidential.

Thats rule number one.

Yes, sir.

Danno.

What have we got on
the longworth kidnapping?

The father paid $50,000
in ransom this morning.

The kids turned up in a family
Van in the park unharmed.

As far as the father
was concerned,

thats all that counts.

The money wasnt
the only problem.

Stuart longworth is in charge
of some priority design

at the esstr corporation --
makes big money.

Why would the kidnappers
settle for $50,000, then?

[ Phone buzzes ]

Mcgarrett.

Oh, yes. Just a minute, please.
Hes right here.

H.p.d. For you.

Is che going over the Van?

Stem to stern --
tires, gas mileage,

anything that might tell us
where its been.

Move on anything you find there.

See if you can come up with
why that Van was parked there.

Check!

Okay, Tommy. Thank you.

The driver of the bus

where longworth left
the ransom money is an ex-con.

He finished doing time two years
ago for armed robbery.

Thats interesting.
Maybe he was in on it.

Thats what h.P.D. Thinks.

Two officers tried to question
him. He clammed up.

They are trying to get
a search warrant now.

Okay. Be there when and if
they use it, danno.

Im going to have a chat
with the longworths.

Where do you think
youre going?

With you.

Oh?

The governor, remember?

What made you want to be a cop?

What made you want
to be a reporter?

You would not be forgotten
when youre dead and rotten,

either write things
worth the reading,

or do things worth the writing.

I dont think Ben Franklin
had either of us in mind

when he wrote that.

I dont know.

According to officer Williams,

youre an unusual combination
of tough cop

and a compassionate,
concerned citizen,

especially where the Hawaiian
people are concerned.

Thats right.
Thats right.

I think they are being
terribly exploited.

ID say thats a nifty plank
for a gubernatorial pitch.

And my sources say
you have backing.

Sources? What sources?

Youre talking to a woman
who went to prison

rather than reveal her sources.

Well, whoever they are,
they are sadly mistaken. Sorry.

Mr. Mcgarrett,
you are a logical candidate

when the governor
decides to step aside.

And so far ive uncovered
no improprieties,

public or private, to date.

My private affairs
are off limits, also.

Thats rule number two,
miss obrien.

You wouldnt be hiding
something, Mr. Mcgarrett?

Sorry.
Sorry to disappoint you.

Thats very intriguing.

The man leaves his office,
the car turns into a pumpkin.

Mcgarrett becomes
the invisible man.

An enigma, a challenge.

Very sexy image to women.

[ Laughs ] The legend
has a sense of humor?

I refuse to answer that one

on the grounds that
it may incriminate me.

Youll be pleased to know
that youre rated among

the first three bachelors
on the island.

One lady who sampled
your gourmet cooking,

heard you play guitar,

and admired
your Sunday paintings,

dubbed you a true
renaissance man.

You know, youve already broken
rule number two.

Reporters prerogative,
Mr. Mcgarrett.

When it comes to my personal
affairs, miss obrien,

it ceases to become
a prerogative

and becomes a presumption.

Five years I cooperated.

I cooperated because I couldnt
stand solitary.

And now I want to be left alone!
Do you understand?!

You aint going to find
no ransom money here.

People are going to hear
about this, man.

Civil liberties people!

Yeah.

And dont think they cant make
it hard on you guys.

What is that?

You tell me.

Lila. Lila!

Tell them
about the keys, honey.

I dont know, Joe.

Ive never seen it before.

Lets see. 281.
Here we are.

Miss obrien understands
anything said here

is not for publication unless
you specifically authorize it.

But if you have
any objections whatsoever,

shell be dismissed.

No, I have no objections.
I have nothing to conceal.

Thank you.

Look, mcgarrett, im beginning
to feel like a broken record.

Ive gone over the same story,

first to the police,
then the reporters.

Yes, I understand.

But sometimes with repetition,
something new comes to mind.

Now, think back to the voice
on the telephone.

Was there anything distinctive
about it?

Was it a local or howlie
or oriental, educated?

No.

I mean,
it was just a mans voice.

More like a whisper, really.

What about the woman,
Mrs. Longworth?

Ive been thinking about that.

And it strikes me that she
sounded Hawaiian or oriental.

There was a rhythm to the way
she was talking.

Good lord, Emma.

Two sentences and you become
an expert on linguistics?

Maybe the children can help.

Why? Look, they have already
been interrogated.

They are staying
with friends now.

They are safe in
a high-security condominium.

Look, im sorry, but im afraid
we cant tell you anything more.

Cant or wont, Mr. Longworth?

Okay. Maybe I havent wracked
my brain enough for you,

but all I want to do
is forget it.

We got our kids back alive,

and that is the only thing
that counts for me!

Not if these same people decide
to kidnap someone elses child.

Let me tell you something,
Mr. Mcgarrett.

Just as soon as possible,

im going to pack my family up
and move away from here.

If you run out, these people
and other people like them

will try this again and again,

until one of their victims
doesnt come back alive.

Now, think about that,
Mr. Longworth.

Is that your usual style
of interrogation, Mr. Mcgarrett?

I just ask the questions
that need to be ask.

There are many ways
to ask a question.

Are you giving lessons
in police procedures now?

Those people are the victims
of the crime, Mr. Mcgarrett.

You were anything about gentle.

Mr. Longworth was evasive.
Perhaps you didnt recognize it.

They have just been through
a hell of an experience.

They are still
in a state of shock.

The truth doesnt come
floating in

on the morning tide,
miss obrien.

Sometimes you have
to dig for it.

Confucius?

No. Mcgarrett.

Thanks for lunch.

My pleasure.

-How did round two go?
-Split decision, Danny.

Immovable object meets
irresistible force?

Right now I dont feel
irresistible.

I dont need counsel.

Its when youre guilty
you need counsel.

We aint done nothing.

How do you explain the key?

I dont know!

Anybody could have planted it
there while we were at work.

Anybody could have done it.

And the locker at the bus dep?

If it was me, that would be the
dumbest place in the world

for me to stash it.

Where were you Sunday night?

-Bowling.
-At home.

What are you doing?!

We were at home, Joe.
We watched TV.

The movie with the dinosaurs.

Thats right.

Saturday we went bowling.

Anyone drop in or call?

[ Scoffs ] You cant take
the word of an ex-con.

One mistake.

One mistake, and you pay the
price the rest of your life.

Thats all you really got on us,

the fact I was
in the slammer once,

and thats all!

Are you asking us
to forget the key

and the fact that longworth
left the money on your bus?

Mr. Mcgarrett, I swear to you,
we had nothing to do with it.

You better get a lawyer, moala.

The public defenders office
wont cost you anything.

Danno.

I did my time.

Im not going to go back.

You hear? Im not going to go
back for something I didnt do!

What is this?

What are you doing?
Im not going back there.

I didnt do it, I tell you.
I didnt do it!

You are considering
the possibility he was framed,

arent you?

Please, miss obrien.

Youre not.

You always answer
your own questions?

Do you ever give
a forthright answer?

Let me make something clear.

This assignment
does not entitle you

to special privileges not
accorded the rest of the press.

There are always
certain circumstances

which are best kept confidential
until the case is closed.

Mr. Mcgarrett, how many closed
cases hide unsolved crimes?

Danno, I need some answers.

Do you think that key
could have been planted?

Why would the kidnappers
bother with a frame?

Why would they give away $50,000

unless they are playing
some other kind of game?

Yeah. Why, indeed.

Yet our inquiring reporter
over there

bought moalas story
in a flash.

Of course shes not interested
in fact,

shes operating
on female intuition.

I didnt know intuition
had a gender.

Its a gut reaction.

Reaction, indeed.

Steve, what about
having the longworths

listen to the moalas voices?

Yes, good idea.

Put Duke and chin on it
right away.

I think ID like to see the rest
of the team at work.

That, miss obrien, may be
the most constructive idea

youve had all day.

Boy, that lady
is something else.

Danno, ID like you to run out
to esstr corporation.

Find out just what
Stuart longworth does

to earn that kind of money.

Right.

Mr. Burroughs.
Subject -- resignation.

It is with great personal regret
and professional disappointment

that I hereby submit
my resignation

as director of
the pi Alpha project.

-Lee Ann?
-Yes.

When youve finished,

hand deliver to
Mr. Burroughs, please.

Yes, sir.

You understand there are certain
questions about our work here

that I am not at Liberty
to answer.

Yes, sir, but im only
interested in Stuart longworth.

Damn shame.
Best designer here.

And were losing him
because of that nasty business

with the children --
cant say I blame him.

Does his work
involve breeder reactors?

Thats a reasonable deduction.

For power plants
to be sold abroad?

Thats one of
those sensitive questions.

I take it the design for those

are kept under
very tight security?

The tightest.

Competition in this business
is appalling.

Thats why our security system
has to be foolproof.

Foolproof?

Ive heard that before.

You like to sail, Joe?

Whats that got to do
with the price of nickels?

You dont care whether I like
to sail or not, man.

Whats he building up to?

Joe, please.

He does like to sail.

Ever own a boat?

Yeah, me and a friend
bu

ilt one once.

You know, Joe,
it

s like on the TV.

Youve got the tough cop,

and then youve got the nice
on

e to kind of soften you up.

I dont think that was her.

Can you remember anything else?

Yeah.

The man who was driving the Van,

he had one of those
stocking masks on.

It was weirdo.

He made us lie on the floor
after he blindfolded us.

We couldnt hear anything
but the motor.

At the house we could hear
the wind sometimes.

There were hardly any cars,
though.

Never heard the ocean?

Negative.

I do remember hearing birds
singing a lot.

Yeah, it was really quiet,

like it was really way
out of the way someplace.

How would

you

know?

You had the quad
turned up so loud

you cant hear
anything else anyway.

Looks like

some

things
are back to normal.

The fear never really stops.

Every time they are out
of my sight, I worry.

The telephone rings,
and I start shaking.

Thats not good for them or me.

Mrs. Longworth, is it possible
for me to talk to your husband?

He doesnt get home until late.

Maybe at the office?
Could you fix it?

I could try.

Chin, is there a telephone
around here?

Yeah.
Turn right outside the door.

End of the corridor.

Thanks.

Joe?
Honey, whats wrong?

Terrible pain.

Not like last year.

Its his heart!

Get an ambulance.

-I want to go with him.
-Im sorry, maam.

I got a couple of things
to follow up with chin.

-Tell mcgarrett.
-You bet I will.

Longworth is into secret stuff,

the kind other companies
drool over.

And he had access
to the microfilm

the blueprints were recorded on.

Could he have lifted any?

In theory, no.

In practice, hes been using

that microfilm library
for three years.

Therefore, he could have
picked up a few tricks.

He resigned today.

He resigned?

Just three weeks before
the mandatory lie detector test

and the security procedures.

Chin doesnt think the longworth
kids could have been held

at moalas place.

Now, what have we got here
anyway, danno?

Ill tell you what youve got --

a man pushed beyond endurance.

Joe moala just had
a heart attack.

Low blow.
Terri, give us a break.

The same kind of breaks
youve been giving moala?

Circumstantial evidence,

bullying the man
until he breaks.

Theyve just taken him
to the hospital.

Then perhaps thats where you
should be getting your story,

miss obrien.

I

know

where to get my story,
Mr. Mcgarrett.

[ Telephone rings ]

Mcgarrett. Yeah.

When?
What the hell do you mean?!

Okay. Thank you.

-What is it?
-Weve been had, danno.

Moalas heart attack
was a fake.

He overpowered an h.P.D. Guard
in the ambulance and escaped.

Okay.
Get out an apb immediately.

Squeeze anything you can
out of his wife, relatives,

neighbors, anybody.

Moala is a desperate man.
Hes liable to do anything.

Mark him armed and dangerous,
but I want him alive.

-Miss obrien?
-Yes.

Mr. Longworth is expecting you.

Ill tell him youre here,
if youll just have a seat.

Thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

Smashing glasses.

Thank you.
Saves having two pairs.

Miss obrien, hell see you now.

Thank you for seeing me.

I have a great deal to do here,

but my wife made it sound
like it was an emergency.

Well, it is for Joe moala.

I was with your family
this afternoon

when they failed to identify
his voice and his wifes.

Forgive me.

I dont wish to discuss
the kidnapping.

I thought you understood that.

Im not so much concerned
with the kidnapping

as the way mcgarrett
is handling it.

Then I suggest you discuss
that with him.

Mr. Longworth, theres some very
strange aspects to this case.

Please, miss obrien.

How did the kidnappers know

where hilary and Jason
were going that Sunday?

Thats easy.

Hilary and Jason went to the
same beach with the same crowd

almost every Sunday afternoon.

If youll check with five-o,

youll find they have asked me
these same questions

at least 50 times.

By recovering the ransom
and arresting the moalas,

five-o thinks the case
is solved.

Joe moala is going to jail.

He may be guilty.
Its none of my concern.

The nightmare is over,
and its not going to recur.

As far as im concerned,

the police have done
an excellent job.

And as far as im concerned,

an innocent man may
very well be railroaded,

if, indeed,
he lives to stand trial.

[ Panting ]

I agree with you
about longworth.

He does seem to be
hiding something.

But I dont agree with you
about moala.

He did what he did
because you pushed him too far.

Pushed him too far, huh?

Mrs. Obrien, I agreed
to this dinner interview

to give you some answers
to some questions

you said you needed
to complete your article.

Now, I have no intention
of discussing the case.

-But, Mr. Mcgarrett,
dont you --
-please.

Is this an interview
or a debate?

All right.
The interview.

One thing puzzles me
about five-o.

There isnt a woman on the team.

He reads minds.

Ive been waiting for that one.

My readers await.

We have frequently used
female personnel

in our operations.

Frequently.

Making coffee, filing reports,
answering telephones?

Thats a cheap shot, you know.

Women have often handled
dangerous assignments

for five-o.

But bringing someone new in,
male or female,

untrained in our method
of operation

could seriously reduce
our effectiveness, seriously.

In other words,
five-o is a private club.

You keep putting words
in peoples mouths.

In no way
five-o is a private club,

but it is a tight,
efficient organization.

Thats why were effective.

There are many women who could
qualify for this outfit,

even run it.

Youre just determined to
keep it a private sanctuary.

Got any candidates?

Let me know and ill put them
on the payroll immediately.

Now, if youll excuse me,
its been a delightful evening.

Waiter, check, please.

Ill split it with you.

You really are exasperating,
you know that?

I know.

Get below.

The whole island
is still looking for you.

I hate to lay this on you,
sailor,

but there was no place else
I could go.

Go, go, go.

I thought you said
you was going straight.

-How come you --
-i didnt do it.

They just think I did.

You know something?
Theyre not going to listen.

Thats not what the paper said.

They have it wrong, man!
Honest to god.

Well, running away
not going to help nothing.

It didnt seem like they were
going to believe us.

We would be rotting in jail,

and nobody would be looking
for the finks that framed us.

Its tight, sailor. Its tight.
Its got me crazy.

Yeah. Who would want
to frame you and Lila?

Who would want to spend $50,000?

I dont know, man!

I got to get off
this island, man.

I got to get off this island.

Maui, maybe.

And youre my only chance,
so lets get this tub under way.

[ Scoffs ] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

We cannot sail yet.
We have no supplies.

No more food.
[ Scoffs ] No more beer.

Ill tell you what,
you just hang loose,

and ill go scrounge up
whatever we need, okay?

Its getting tight.
Its closing in on me, sailor.

I know. I know. Ill hurry.

But I think were going
to be a lot better off

if we wait until we got
more boats out in the channel.

Okay?

And, hey. Relax.
Keep your head below this deck.

Okay?

-Hey, sailor?
-Yeah.

You know theres not too many
people I can trust, man.

Probably they just dont
want to trust me.

I couldnt turn to nobody else.

I want you to know
that I will never forget.

Okay.

Honolulu police department.

Yeah. I...

Never mind.

Hey, bro!
Have you got a minute?

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Okay, honey.
Thats enough.

All right.

I should have a first draft
for you in the morning.

And ill have
the blue pencil ready.

Steve, Dukes tracked down
moalas friend, sailor.

Moala is on his boat
at the southcoast Marina.

Lets go.

You two should issue
hourly weather reports.

Shut up.

Moala, this is mcgarrett.
Hawaii five-o.

We know youre on the boat.
Come out with your hands up.

Sailor, you Judas!

[ Gunshot ]

Well, hes armed.
We know that.

Hold your fire, gentlemen.
Hold your fire.

All right.
Get the media back!

No exceptions.

Danno, come with me.

Moala, youre covered.
Look up the channel behind you.

Throw your gun down
and come out.

I told you once,
im not going back!

Maybe you dont have to.

Thats a crock, mcgarrett,
and you know it.

Listen to me, you guys out there
from the news!

I got something to say!

Listen to me!

I did it! Im guilty!
Me! John moala!

My wife had nothing
to do with it!

I snatched them kids solo!

Whats he doing?

Setting the stage, danno.

For what?

Suicide.

Just me!

I did it myself!

I did it.

But not -- not Lila!

Not Lila!

Danno, hold this.

Hey, what are you doing?!

My job!

Moala, I dont have a gun.
Im clean.

You stay back.
You just stay back!

I dont believe that you
kidnapped those kids.

Youre absolutely right.
Its all too pat.

Its got to be a frame.

I just confessed to all
those newspaper people!

I said stay back!

So whats your angle, mcgarrett?
Why would it bother you.

Im after the truth, Joe.
Thats all.

Im just after the truth.

Yeah? Yeah?
I know guys in prison

on account of what was
in the papers!

Joe, people are in prison
for one reason,

because a judge and a jury
weigh the facts.

Now, come on, Joe.

I want to get the facts for you,
but youve got to help me.

Give me the gun.
Trust me, please.

Come on. Give me the gun.
Give me the gun.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

As I said, intuitive and daring.

This ought to do a lot
for the mcgarrett mystique.

I dont know what you said
to convince him, but it worked.

The question is,
why save a mans life

when youre going to
try to send him up for life?

No, no.

The question is,
why didnt I have the luck

to draw a reporter
who deals in solid facts

instead of a second-class
Lois Lane?

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Laughs ]

Yeah.
Yeah, I remember him.

Real nice suit.

Always a nice suit stands out
like a sore thumb on my run.

Okay. Now, think back, Joe.

Think back to the day
he got on your bus.

Im trying.
Its all like a blur, you know?

Driving a bus one day
is like any other.

It all mixes together.

But he was different.
The day was different.

Now, picture it in your mind.

Where did he get on your bus?

Yeah.
He got off at the next stop.

Good. Good. Okay. Now,
what happened then? What else?

I drove away.

Did anyone get off the bus
with him?

Some lady started to.

She got up, changed her mind.

Did she change her seat?

Yeah.

She, uh, started up
from the back...

And sat down again.

Do you remember where?

Right side, halfway back.

The seat that howlie sat in.

She got off at the next stop.

Good, Joe. Good.
Youre doing fine now.

Keep it up.

Do you remember
what she looked like?

Dark hair.

Oriental.

Chinese, I think.
Glasses.

Big ones
that kind of turn color.

Yeah.
What are they called?

Photogrades.

Yeah! Yeah.

Okay, Joe.
Thank you.

Is something bothering you?

Theres an arabic saying --

"yom asal, yom batsal."

"One day honey,
next day onions."

Well, however you see it,
miss obrien.

I see it
as the end of the story.

Aloha.

[ Door opens, closes ]

Danno, ill give you odds

that the woman on that bus
was our female kidnapper.

Shall I set up a session
with the police artist?

No. No.
Poor Joe is easily frustrated.

How about mug shots?

ID hate to risk confusing him
with that many faces.

But I wish there was a way
to narrow the field.

Maybe there is.
Maybe there is.

Lets get longworth in here.

Right.

I wonder if you could help me.

When I was in to see
Mr. Longworth,

there was a young woman
in the office, Chinese?

You must mean kia chieu.

Im sorry, but she already left
on her vacation.

Well, im only going to be here
for a few days.

Im very anxious to get the same
kind of glasses that she has.

Is there any way
I can reach her?

Its worth a try.

Thanks.

They were in danger,
Mr. Mcgarrett!

[ Drums fingers ]

I have a theory, Mr. Longworth.

It involves a man with access
to some very sensitive data.

His children are kidnapped,

only the ransom,
the real ransom, isnt money.

Its a design
to a breeder reactor,

which he turns over
to the kidnappers.

The kidnappers in turn arrange
for some poor, hapless ex-con

to take the rap
so that no one will suspect

the true dimensions of the plot.

Sound feasible to you?

$50,000 was just a decoy,
wasnt it,

to keep even your poor wife
in the dark?

Why didnt you yell for help?

[ Sighs ] Because I love my wife
and kids.

Can you understand the kind
of insidious terror

these people made me feel?

Can you understand
what it feels like

to know that youre being
watched all the time

and that they know
every move that you make?!

Well,
maybe we could have helped.

Oh, you could?

I thought my kids
were safe at the lahani lagoon.

Its a high security building,
right?

Well, today in the mail

I got two t-shirts that the kids
had taken with them there,

and I was scared mcgarrett,
and I still am.

Lani, have Duke and chin get
over to lahani lagoon apartments

right away.

Check with their
security people.

I want to know everyone
who was in there since Monday.

Tenants, visitors,
tradespeople, the works.

And right away.

-Will do.
-Thank you.

How do you think they knew
so much about you?

I dont know.

Friends, maybe?
Relatives?

No, impossible.

People you work with.

Could be.

But theres so many people
that work for that company.

I dont know many of them.

Look, may I go now?

Yeah.

Mr. Longworth...

You realize that were going to
have to take a long, hard look

at the part
youve played in this.

Yeah.

Danno, we may have just
narrowed the field.

Yeah.

See if Joe moala can find
the woman with the photogrades

among the personnel file
at the esstr corporation.

What are you
nosing around here for?

Oh! Im sorry.

A real estate dealer told me
to check this area.

Im a writer,
and im looking for a house,

quiet and secluded.

Shes the one.
Shes the reporter.

Looks like you found
what youre looking for.

I dont think so.

Wait till you see the inside.

Youll

never

want to leave.

How sure is moala
about the I.D.?

Picked her out right away.
No problem.

Shes not at esstr corporation.
She started her vacation today.

The home address on the data
sheet should be current.

Lets get out there
before they take off.

Be sure to pick up
[Speaks indistinctly]

Like silk on glass.

To Hong Kong.

And the highest bidder.

Miss obrien is in there.

You take the front.
Ill go around the back.

Give me a count of about 10
and then call them out.

Lets go.

What about her?

She found
what she was looking for.

A nice, secluded place.

Wont be anybody around
for a month or two

when they start bulldozing.

[ Creaking ]

Did you hear something?

Five-o!
State police!

Come out with your hands up!

Drop it!
Drop it.

Get over there.

Where is the microfilm,
miss chieu?

In the Pearl compact
in my s-suitcase.

Yeah, thats it.

Okay. Book them both.

Kidnapping and extortion.

[ Muffled grunting ]

Now, miss obrien,

perhaps I can get a word in
without being interrupted, huh?

ID like to point out something
which you should already know.

Im told that one of the basic
rules of journalism

is to approach every story
with an open mind.

But on this one, yours has been
closed from the beginning.

Now, to risk your life in
pursuit of a story is one thing,

but to endanger the lives
of others is something else.

Now, we put our necks
on the line every day

for things that count.

But the crisis that you
generated by coming here

is absolutely unnecessary
and just plain dumb.

And on that, miss obrien,
you can quote me.

Danno,
see that the lady gets home.

As I said, eminently fair.

[ Knock on door ]

Come in.

[ Door opens ]

I couldnt find a crow.

Will chicken do?

Crows never last long,
if only one party is wrong.

Confucius?

Mings Chinese fortune cookies.
