I repeat -- Gambling means money,

The kind of money that attracts crime, organized crime.

And organized crime means

Legitimate businesses Go elsewhere.

Bad money Always drives out good money.

Then it's All one business -- theirs.

Ladies and gentlemen, The answer is simple --

Never, never let Organized crime nor gambling

Get a foothold here in hawaii.

Thank you.

After treasury and the fbi Are through with it.

[ chuckles ]

You know something, harold?

We all learned in kindergarten How to put things in boxes.

[ elevator dings ]

Steve?

-can I talk to you for a minute? -sure.

Looks like it's getting A little out of hand.

They insist it's a federal case.

Bob, you know very well That I can go to court

And get access To all the evidence.

This is our jurisdiction.

I know. But I hope you won't.

Listen to me, steve.

Lee dipped into this bank For $1 1/2 million.

That's all they found so far.

The guy was a computer wizard.

But he's dead, And the bank is sick.

Bob, we've been friends A long time, right?

We're not gonna walk All over your case.

But five-o has A legitimate interest,

And I've got responsibilities.

The governor is very concerned. This is a big bank.

They've been handling a lot Of state loans, right?

-I know, I know. -all right.

Answer something --

Why is kendricks Sitting on this one?

Because he's got a big butt.

He's got a big mouth, too.

Well, well, well.

Every time I turn on The evening news these days,

I see you on it, mcgarrett.

What are you, Running for public office

For the anti-gambling ticket?

Hey, that wouldn't be A bad idea.

[ elevator dings ] Bob, I'll see you in court.

I'll ride down with you.

He was just sore

Because the reporters aren't Paying any attention to him.

Well, he's no surprise.

You're the one who's conning me. What's the story, bob?

I can't tell you anything. In return, I need your help.

You drive a hard bargain.

Phone numbers -- Here's a complete list --

Lee's address book, Recent phone calls.

I don't have the manpower To run it down,

And I need it all fast, steve, Real fast.

Okay, bob. But you owe me one, huh?

I'll get this list Back to you in 24 hours,

And I'll have an injunction From judge richardson

Ordering access to all evidence To go along with it.

And be sure to tell kendricks, Will you?

I don't want him to miss me On the evening news.

-steve? -oh, yeah, danno?

I couldn't get a call Through to you up there.

Fbi and treasury must have Gotten here before he landed.

That's hard to believe, Isn't it?

14 seminars a year In interagency cooperation.

Take a look at this.

I'm sure it was sullivan's idea To keep us busy.

Look at that -- johnny noah.

The last call he made -- 10:07.

What do you think A computer wizard talks about

10 minutes before he jumps

To an accident victim

Who's counting 60,000 bucks In cash the night before?

What do you think, danno?

I don't know, steve,

But gambling, like alcoholism, Is a sickness.

-poor guy. -he sure is.

We got to find Johnny noah, danno.

He's right In the middle of this.

Mary, I'll be right back.

To give me a call At this number, uh, miss, uh...

Goodbye, mr. Williams.

There's some kids Staying at the condo

And at least three chicks, Maybe four.

None of them have jobs. They're all on welfare.

Got to hand it to noah.

He's got the state of hawaii Paying his rent.

I can't believe this is A call-girl operation, danno.

You can't make 60,000 bucks As a procurer.

The word is he's A smart hustler,

But, uh, small potatoes.

A few petty busts -- Car boosting, stuff like that.

Then what's he doing In that expensive condominium?

Well, he doesn't live there All the time.

In fact, the doorman says

The traffic in and out Is pretty light during the week,

Except johnny has a couple Of big parties every week.

Big parties, huh?

Yeah, very fancy, Lots of out-of-towners.

You know, this has the smell Of big-time gambling to me.

I hear dice clicking. The girls could be shills.

You think johnny's a runner For the big boys?

Could be. I'd sure like to ask him.

They say he's got another place And a steady lady.

I got a hunch I know Where to find that steady lady.

We'll get past this one, You and me.

Yep.

He checked out of the hospital To this address.

He did.

He was here maybe half an hour,

And then he went on To his own place.

Did you drive him there?

Because we've been calling Your number here,

And there's been no answer.

I was shopping. I just got back.

I see.

Uh, miss cosmo, a man By the name of filisco lee

Called here this morning About 10:00 a.M.

It was his last phone call.

He jumped to his death Shortly thereafter.

What?!

Now, I-I was wondering,

Did mr. Lee talk to you Or to johnny noah?

He did.

He called here, and I told him Johnny wasn't here.

But he washere, miss cosmo.

Look, uh...I don't know.

[ laughs ]

You have lots of questions, and I don't have lots of answers,

So maybe you'd better talk To johnny noah.

Yeah, I will, but, uh, you can Tell him to call this number.

He'll save himself A lot of trouble.

Okay.

And would you ask him to wait About 10 or 15 minutes?

I'll be back To the office by then.

Thank you.

So, no, here it is. You can count it.

I don't want it. $60,000.

I got it by accident.

It belongs to a bank, Rhymes with tank.

Can't win an argument. You know what I mean?

I don't want to count it, Johnny.

You're gonna take it Off my hands, right?

They've made a connection to me.

Mcgarrett from five-o Has been around.

You know They don't send him around

To fill out an accident report.

Yes, I can see you've been hurt.

I'm sorry about that.

Well, I need a shady place To stand, general --

A piece of paper, a payroll Receipt, something, anything.

If they ask questions,

You're the one Who's gonna be hurt, you know?

Are you threatening me, johnny?

How are they going to know Anything if you don't tell them?

What is this, playtime, general?

We're not in dear old saigon, You know?

This is the u.S. Of "A."

They draw a line here, And if you step over it,

They make it very hard For you to live.

You ever talk To a high-powered cop?

[ chuckles ] They empty you out.

Then they send the lint in your Brain to the fbi for analysis.

Now, mcgarrett Wants to talk to me,

And I'm gonna have to tell him Something, you understand?

We won't let you get hurt, Johnny.

But I can't touch the money.

You understand. It's too dangerous.

Okay.

You play hardball, general.

I said we wouldn't let you Get hurt, johnny.

You help us, we help you, As always.

Okay.

We help you On one condition, johnny.

We want mcgarrett Out of the way.

No, I don't want to tie Your hands in any way, steve,

But kendricks has complained To his superiors.

He insists That this is a federal case

And that you are meddling.

Sir, with all due respect, Kendricks is a jackass.

Now, this is not just a matter

Of embezzlement Of one bank's funds.

The money lee stole

Went down a rathole Called organized gambling,

And it happened Right here in hawaii.

Now, that makes it our business,

As well as The federal government's,

Unless, of course,

You want to let those, uh, Vultures get a foothold here.

You know me better than that, Steve.

Yes, sir, I do.

Then please tell Mr. Kendricks' superiors

To cooperate with us instead Of trying to shut us out.

Okay.

All right, steve, I'll back you.

But one word of caution --

Kendricks Has never forgiven you

For showing him up On that illegal-alien case.

I know. He was about to blow that one.

[ laughs ]

I know.

But there's nothing He'd like better

Than to catch you off base On this one.

I'll take my chances. Thank you, sir.

[ knock on door ]

Johnny?

What do you want to know?

Your doorman at the towers Saw you with him

The night before he jumped,

And it wasn't the first time He'd seen you together.

The doorman's got A big mouth, huh?

All right, mcgarrett.

Lee was a crazy man, Terrible gambler,

With 120-degree fever, and He kept coming back for more.

They had to cut him off.

That's funny.

They drained the guy dry, Then they cut him off?

They waited a long time, Don't you think?

How does the setup work?

It's a big operation.

They feed people in from all Over -- miami, vegas, hong kong.

Big spenders, big losers.

Who runs it?

What, do you think I'm crazy?

I don't know. I don't want to know.

I mean, they keep us In separate compartments.

You know what I mean?

Every week, I get a different address.

They move it around.

Maybe three, four games running At the same time, you know?

I don't know.

But it's never The same address twice.

Who's your contact? Who do you talk to?

See, that's a question I don't Even answer off the record.

You know what I mean? I mean, That's very bad for my health.

H.P.D. Found 60,000 bucks In cash on you that same night,

And the last withdraw lee made

Was an illegal transfer Of funds for guess what.

What?

A treasury agent would love To hear about, huh?

Oh, come on.

You don't need me.

All right.

Just give me a name, pal.

All right, listen, mcgarrett.

So who's the big guy?

Who's the big man? Who put you up to this?

Who's making the decisions, Johnny boy?

They know the legalities.

There was $50,000 in a briefcase In your car, mcgarrett.

Any idea how it got there?

[ chuckles ] No, but I can guess.

It's pretty obvious.

I'd say a guy named johnny noah Put it in my car to frame me.

Yeah, they always say They're framed.

Show him the photos.

Hmm, looks like I'm doing A pretty good job

Of investigating a lead, huh?

Very elaborate police work, Mcgarrett.

Blind pickup, isolated meeting.

Very clandestine.

How would you suggest I do it If not clandestine?

We were investigating Johnny noah

Because of another incident.

I caught the connection On a list of phone numbers

You gave me, bob.

I was interested.

So were we. So were we.

I'm gonna let him tell it, Harold.

Johnny noah told me It was a gambling ring.

They tapped lee For all that money.

Very professional operation -- Changed locations every week.

Noah's just one Of their small potatoes.

They've got a network in their Action. I was squeezing hard.

I wanted the man in charge, And I got him.

Yeah? Who is it?

Whoever set me up with you, Kendricks.

They want to smear me. Don't you see that?

They don't like My tv appearances

Any more than you do.

Show him the other envelope.

Mm.

Looks like photostats Of five $100 bills.

Yeah, and they belong to you.

They were in your pocket when We arrested you at the casino.

Clerk here at h.P.D.

Typed up the serial numbers On your property slip.

Check it out.

No, I don't have to. I believe you.

We have absolute proof That those bills match

A series of $100 bills That were used

To pay off politicians, Building and health inspectors.

And sometimes cops.

We've been working on this case For six months, steve.

You want to tell us About it now, mcgarrett?

We've already talked To johnny noah.

He admitted he was your bagman.

Yeah. Lot of planning Went into this, didn't it?

Maybe I shouldcall my lawyer.

That's fine.

Say hello to johnny noah for me,

And, uh, tell him I'm putting Him at the top of my list.

Well, now, there are statutes Against intimidating witnesses.

Get mcgarrett To explain it to you.

I know what they are,

And, uh, I'm not in the business Of bending the law.

Brash.

I know the routine.

-mr. Noah? -yeah.

-I'm sid cane. I'm your lawyer. -oh, good.

Now, let us presume That our constitutional rights

Are being violated right now,

That a microphone is Picking up our conversation.

Now, if a question occurs to you

That requires A confidential approach,

Please...Write it down.

Okay.

-uh -- -please, write it down.

Uh, all right, let me ask...

Brought you a change Of clothes, steve.

Thought you might like to get Out of your gambler's threads.

Come on, danno. Have the decency To at least laugh.

I got ahold of sandy tashimoto.

He's arranged To have you released

On your own recognizance.

What about the lady?

Her bail is being posted.

And johnny?

Well, he wasn't picked up At the club.

They caught him boarding A late flight to chicago.

Apparently, it was all planned.

He was supposed to duck out,

Leaving you holding the sack With gloria.

Nice guy, huh?

Well, he's locked up. Sid cane is with him.

Johnny won't talk,

And I'm sure they'll find some Way to take care of their own.

Does gloria cosmo know That he tried to run on her?

I don't know, steve.

Listen, danno.

This syndicate has spent Hundreds of thousands of dollars

To set me up and put me away.

They want legalized gambling In hawaii,

And they'll do anything To get it.

But the girl -- the girl is The key to this whole thing.

Now, if she's released Ahead of me, tail her.

-I'll change and be right down. -right.

I would not presume To guarantee the sentence

Of any judge in advance,

But I think you can Expect two years

And be pleasantly surprised Within 18 months.

What about gloria?

I'll have a talk With the young lady,

And she'll be treated With great consideration.

I hope so, sid.

I only made One plane reservation.

I know. That was a bad mistake.

I really can't imagine why Mr. Mcgarrett has done this.

I have no idea,

But I'm sure he'll explain it To you in the very near future.

Well, I really appreciate it.

He got us both in a tough spot.

You know -- you know, I thought

He just wanted to talk To you, the general.

But, uh... [ chuckles ]

It didn't turn out that way.

The general? What general?

I met him once, uh, When he came out to the car.

You think you could find His place again?

Why?

Gloria, they picked up Johnny boy at the airport

Getting on a plane For chicago --

Alone, of course.

He must have Driven there directly

After he dropped us At the gambling place.

[ laughs ]

No.

Little dirty.

I -- I feel so ashamed.

[ sniffles ]

It's gonna take more Than a hot bath to get me clean.

[ chuckles ]

If you want to feel clean, You have to do two things.

First, tell the d.A. The truth

About the $50,000 they found In my car,

Why it was put there,

And what I was really doing At the gambling place

The night I was arrested And booked.

Yeah, and then one Of the general's old friends

Is gonna come and get me.

No way, because the general Won't know what you've done

Until it's too late for him.

Well, well, we know. [ chuckles ]

Now, what's the other thing You want me to do?

Gloria.

That -- that might be A little harder.

One mustn't remove the stalks After they've bloomed.

The new growth gets its strength From the old.

Ooh!

Once the new stalks Have fully developed,

Then, and only then, Can the old one be removed.

Exquisite.

It's...

Excuse me For interrupting you, general.

I-I just wanted to say That we did all the dirty work,

And only johnny got paid, And I didn't.

[ sighs ]

He said you refused His services.

You need only to make Your wishes known to him,

And he will make All the arrangements.
