Aah!

What brings you around, Mcgarrett?

I wanted to know Where I could find

The government inspector On that plaza job.

Government inspector?

What are you looking for, steve?

Oh, a pattern, anything, dan.

You still think he's a pussycat?

Why, you worried?

Well, he's dug up An awful lot of evidence

In such a short time.

What are you suggesting -- That meighan is involved?

I'm not suggesting Anything yet, governor,

But I'm not totally convinced

That meighan Is purely a philanthropist.

[ "Hawaii five-o" theme plays ]

Morning, henry.

Morning.

Mrs. Tanaka, I've got some documents

To put in the vault At the opening.

Yes, mr. Doheni.

There we are.

They go in the bank files, Mrs. Tanaka.

Aah!

Aah!

Oh, my god.

Impossible. Impossible.

How could anyone Have got in here?

The alarm -- set off the alarm!

And we need those estimates By the end of the week.

Now, I realize That working on budgets

Is not your forte, Gentlemen, but --

[ telephone rings ]

Mcgarrett.

Steve, I've, uh -- I've Just talked to monty doheni

At the first security of oahu.

-you bank there, don't you? -yes.

Well, give him A call right away.

Can you tell me Anything about it?

Well, I don't know the details.

But he sounded Pretty hysterical,

So help him out, will you?

Steve, I've got to run.

I'm running late For one of my dedications.

If you get a chance, Come on over.

It's that new shopping center On wapahanu way.

Very well, sir.

Help doheni out? That's a first.

Luana, get me The first security bank, please.

Mr. Doheni's on the phone now.

-mr. Doheni is calling me? -yes, sir.

-what line? -he's on line one.

-put him on speaker. -yes, sir.

Hello, mr. Doheni. I was just about to call you.

What's the matter? Am I overdrawn?

No, the bank is, mr. Mcgarrett.

And it could amount to millions.

Of course, There's no way of knowing

What was In the safety deposit boxes

Until we get an inventory From our clientele.

It happened sometime Between closing last night

And opening this morning.

Holdup or break-in?

[ sighs ] Well, not really a break-in.

I mean, how could it be A break-in

When the vault Wasn't broken into?

It was sealed this morning As normal, as always.

Nothing was disturbed, But when we opened up...

[ sighs ]

[ camera shutter clicks ]

Invading your bailiwick, Sullivan?

What brings you here?

The governor asked me To take a look.

I sure hope it's a good one.

See? You see? What happened couldn't happen.

It was an impossible break-in.

Nothing in and around this vault Was touched

Except the safety Security boxes.

Everything's Totally automatic --

Time lock, Automatic alarm system.

How many people knew The combination?

Only three, mcgarrett. We're sweating them now.

Besides, it's a time lock, Mr. Mcgarrett.

It can only be opened At a previously determined hour.

And you've looked this vault Over carefully, huh?

Not a crack, not a cranny,

Not a scratch on the walls, Floors, the ceiling.

The interior of this vault Is sealed up tight.

There's no question about it.

[ stomps foot ] What's under here?

Eight solid feet of Steel-reinforced concrete.

This whole unit is surrounded With steel and concrete --

Part of the original Specifications of the fdic.

Federal deposit insurance Corporation regulations.

They make A final inspection, too.

Well, somebody knew something We don't know.

I'd like to talk to the builder.

And you can, mr. Mcgarrett.

He's just finished another Shopping center on wapahanu way.

Today is the official opening.

Oh, yeah. That must be Where the governor is.

I think I'll drop by there now.

You want to join me, sully?

No, thanks. I've got To check with washington.

Be interested in anything You find out, though.

You bet. We'll keep in touch.

Danno, duke, I'd like you to Look into the electronic gear --

Safety alarms, time clocks.

I want to know all about them --

How they work, Features, everything, huh?

Right.

I just can't believe it.

But obviously, someone got In and out of that vault.

They sure did, mr. Doheni... But not obviously.

[ sighs ]

[ applause ]

Well, I want to thank all of you For coming here today

And sharing with me the opening

Of this magnificent, New shopping center.

It's a symbol Of the growth of our state

And the health of our economy

And a tribute to the man

Whose vision, foresight, And faith

Made it all a reality.

I refer to matthew meighan,

Not only an eminently successful Builder and developer,

But a great civic leader And philanthropist.

He built and donated the hch --

The handicapped Children's hospital --

And he's one Of its patron founders.

Mr. Matthew meighan.

[ applause ]

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.

Now, just briefly...

I'm just a businessman,

But I think that hawaii

Is going to be the greatest State in the union.

I just want To take advantage of that.

The wapahanu Shopping center here

Is the largest, Most modern facility

Of its kind in the islands.

It's built to serve you.

I'm just looking forward To letting it serve all of us.

Thank you.

[ applause ]

Governor.

Thank you.

Oh, have you met Steve mcgarrett?

No, I haven't had the pleasure.

Steve, I thought you'd be At the plaza mall bank.

Just came from there.

Steve mcgarrett, head of hawaii Five-o, matthew meighan.

-pleased to meet you. -my pleasure, mr. Meighan.

Matthew, how long will you Be staying on the island?

Oh, a couple more days, I think, governor.

I've got some things To clean up here,

And then didi and I are gonna go

Off to the caribbean For a little vacation.

Well, if I don't see you again Before you leave,

You and didi have a great trip.

Thank you.

Mr. Meighan, I just came

From the other shopping center You built on oahu.

-oh, you were at the plaza? -yes.

Distressing business about That bank robbery, isn't it?

Very.

Just heard the early reports On the car radio.

Well, it sounds like An inside job to me.

Why do you say that?

Well, because I built it, Mcgarrett.

I designed that entire complex,

Including the steel-laced Concrete nesting site

For that bank vault.

I guarantee you nobody could Break into that from the outside

Without leaving a shambles.

Well, that's my impression, too, Mr. Meighan,

But if you could spare A few moments,

I'd like a word With you about it.

What's on your mind?

I thought a look At the construction plans

Might offer a clue As to the break-in.

I tell you, I've got a meeting coming up.

Only take a moment.

All right, um, I don't have

The original plaza blueprints Here, mcgarrett.

They're in my office In san francisco.

But the prints Of the present construction

Are exactly the same as far As the bank is concerned.

Would you excuse us A minute, brooks?

Here.

Now, you'll notice That this concrete trough

Is laced with steel rods Eight feet deep.

Now, what is this?

Well, that's the laced concrete

Extending around the periphery Of the vault eight feet.

That's fdic specifications.

[ chuckles ] Amazing, isn't it?

I mean, despite All these safeguards,

All these precautions,

Some...Gentleman comes along

And figures out a way To rip it off.

Well, maybe this will be Another one

Of those unsolved crimes, Eh, mcgarrett?

It's always a challenge in law Enforcement, mr. Meighan.

The criminal takes a step, Law follows.

It goes on like that For a while.

But sooner or later, The law catches up.

For which we all Must be grateful.

Yes, well, thank you For your help.

Not at all. Any time, as long As I'm still on the island.

Oh, we'll reach you if we need You, on or off the island.

Hello, darling.

Hey, hey, hey.

[ chuckles ]

Where are the boys?

They're outside, waiting.

You're late. What kept you?

I had to straighten out A mr. Steve mcgarrett.

Interesting chap, But slightly persistent.

-everything okay? -isn't it always?

Steve mcgarrett, hawaii five-o?

Yes, he wanted to check out

The construction blueprints For the bank.

I've heard of him. He can be dangerous.

Oh, he's a pussycat.

Don't you know by now that our Operation is absolutely unique?

It's undetectable. It's foolproof.

What have we here?

Well, how much do you figure, Brooks?

About $4 mill to $5 mill.

They'll claim 8 to 10 From the insurance companies.

[ laughs ]

Too bad people like that Drive up the insurance rates.

Okay, close them up.

Got your reservations?

Flight 180, 2:40 p.M.

Well, you put this In a safe place.

The bank, preferably.

But not just any bank.

Make sure it's one He didn't build.

[ chuckles ]

Brooks and I have a few chores To finish up here.

We'll see you in san francisco Over the weekend.

I'll get the car.

Have a nice flight.

Thank you.

Thanks. See you soon.

Darling?

What burke said about mcgarrett?

Could be right, you know.

Mcgarrett could make A case against us...

Unless we go inside And pull the blinds.

[ chuckles ]

Steve, I wasn't just making A political speech

When I said that meighan

Was an outstanding citizen And a great philanthropist.

Some people said the same thing About robin hood.

I don't understand.

What are you suggesting -- That meighan is involved?

I'm not suggesting Anything yet, governor,

But I'm not totally convinced

That meighan Is purely a philanthropist.

About that bank robbery -- Was he any help to you on that?

No, not much.

Surely you don't think He knows something

That he isn't telling you.

Governor, I've been around This old world a long time.

I've seen it all.

I've dealt with saints And sinners,

And there aren't Too many saints.

That's why I'm a cop.

Everyone is a suspect Until proven otherwise.

Now, I said suspect, Not to be confused with guilty.

I think you're wrong About meighan.

Now, about that handicapped Children's hospital --

It's a charity organization, You know.

If it's for kids, You'll get my contribution.

But just remember,

I'm a public servant, Not a wealthy contractor.

I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you, sir.

What'd your fortune cookie say, Steve?

[ chuckles ]

"A beautiful blonde will soon Complicate your life."

Fat chance.

What did yours say, danno?

Like to trade?

Maybe.

Mine said,

"You'll soon encounter A tall, dark, handsome man."

[ laughter ]

Too bad, danno.

Now, what about that Alarm company?

Their equipment is in 95% Of all new bank buildings,

And they say it's impossible To bypass the electronic alarm.

Impossible, huh?

That's like saying A building is fireproof.

Ask the widows of firemen

Who died fighting blazes In fireproof buildings.

Well, it's set up so that just An attempt sets off the alarm.

Any kind of a circuit break --

A shutoff, a power failure,

Somebody trying to bridge The wires --

And the alarm goes off Automatically.

Well, what about The three people

Who had the combination To the vault?

Sullivan put them Through the washing machine

At 180-degree temperature.

They're clean. He says there's No chance they're involved.

The doors are a solid foot Of carbon steel,

And time lock's fail-safe.

It's made by a company In pittsburgh.

I talked to the president.

He said he's sick and tired Of trying to convince everybody

That his lock is foolproof.

He said it is, period.

Sick and tired of trying To convince everybody?

-is that what he said? -verbatim.

Why? Who else has he been Trying to convince?

Find out, will you, danno?

-how many? -three.

Boy, that makes Four banks in all.

I didn't know, dan -- Not till I called washington.

That's fbi territory.

I had to get an official reading On how they felt

About the governor's inviting Five-o in on the investigation.

What'd they say?

Take any kind of help I can get, Especially five-o's.

Good.

So, you're telling me That over the last four years,

Three mainland banks Have been robbed

In similar fashion To the plaza job.

That's right, And on all of them,

The books are still open -- No clues.

We've covered every angle --

Bank employees, construction, Alarm systems.

Everything checks out The way it should.

What about the contractors?

Different company every time.

Chicago, wichita, st. Paul.

Just one similarity --

All the banks are In shopping centers.

Yeah?

That could be coincidental.

Everybody's building Shopping centers now.

Yeah. Any of the loot turn up?

Not so far. There's no way we can trace it.

Thanks, sully.

Where you going now?

I got to call steve. I'll check with you later.

That's all of it, steve.

Danno, call the local office At the fdic

And find out who made the final Inspection on the plaza job.

And one more thing.

That broker friend of yours -- What's his name?

-bill woodrow. -pay him a visit.

I want to know everything He knows

About the bruckmer Construction company.

Meighan's involved in it.

Will do.

Okay, bruckmer Construction company.

Pacific counter, no rating.

Capitalized under $5 million.

1,700 stockholders.

Price range last four years Was 1 1/2 to 4 1/4.

Common shares outstanding -- 3 million.

Referred none.

Home office -- market street, San francisco.

More?

What about management?

Uh, let's see.

President and chairman Of the board, didi jonas.

They're builders, developers --

Housing, shopping centers,

Industrial complexes, That type of thing.

What's the scam? Something brewing?

Think I'm gonna let you in On my inside information?

[ laughs ] You're all heart, danny.

Heart about as big as a pea.

[ laughs ]

Anything about matthew meighan, Board of directors?

Uh, nope.

He's supposed To own the company.

Yeah, well, that can happen.

He can have An ownership interest

Without -- Without being an officer.

Really?

Let's see. Remember my advice, danny.

If you want to be In the stock market,

You be an investor, Not a speculator.

As far as The market's concerned, bill,

I'm just a spectator.

Sign two more, miss jonas.

Sometimes I think I need a rubber stamp.

[ chuckles ]

Where's matthew?

At the shop.

-thank you. -see you later.

Excuse me. Have you seen mr. Meighan?

No, lady. He was here a few minutes ago.

I think he went inside.

Oh.

Oh, excuse me.

Could you tell me where I could Find matthew meighan?

Well, I'm mrs. Meighan. May I help you?

Oh, how do you do? Mcgarrett, hawaii five-o.

I'd just like a few words With your husband, if I may.

Oh, well, he's around somewhere.

Matthew!

Didi? You looking for me?

This gentlemen Would like to see you.

Well, mcgarrett.

Well, I see you've met my wife.

Just casually.

Well, by all means, Let's make it formally.

Steve mcgarrett, Head of hawaii five-o.

-right, mcgarrett? -right.

Dorothy meighan, Head of the meighan family.

-oh, how do you do? -hello.

Finishing touches, huh?

Yes, exactly. Finishing touches.

What brings you around, Mcgarrett?

I wanted to know Where I could find

The government inspector On that plaza job.

Government inspector?

Yeah.

I understand the fdic

Must give final approval On all bank sites.

Mcgarrett, how would I be able To find that man?

I built the plaza Over two years ago.

I barely met the man.

You happen to recall his name?

[ laughs ] No.

But I would imagine you Or someone on your staff's

Contacted the local office Of the fdic.

What do you want him for, Anyway?

I'd like to know something about Government-inspection process.

[ laughs ]

I can tell you this -- It's very thorough.

Thanks, men.

[ sighs ]

Something's got to be wrong Somewhere, mr. Meighan.

I just learned That there were

Three other Unsolved bank robberies

Similar to the one At the plaza here.

Three?

On the mainland. In shopping centers.

Coincidence, huh?

Does that have Any special significance?

Oh, I'd say so.

All three are still unexplained, Just like the one here.

Mcgarrett, do you have any idea

How many bank robberies There are

Committed in the united states In one year?

Over 3,000.

3,296, to be exact.

[ laughter ]

But I'm trying to help Reduce that number.

Well, wish I could help you.

Well, I guess I'll just have To keep digging then, huh?

Bye, mrs. Meighan.

Goodbye.

Mcgarrett?

If you need to chat With me again,

I'll be here At least until tuesday.

How about a farewell dinner With my lady and me,

Say, monday evening?

Hey, that might be fun.

8:00, my house.

I'll be there. Thank you.

Why bait him?

Burke said a dangerous man.

Mm.

And I said a pussycat.

Might be entertaining, at that.

For me, sweetheart, not for you.

Well, don't underestimate him, Lover.

Matthew? Are we ready?

What about the sign painter Out front?

I sent him home.

All right, Let's get this done fast.

-morning, luana. -morning, mr. Mcgarrett.

Duke called from wichita city. Try you again in half an hour.

Oh, good. Thank you.

Yeah, danno, got something?

Thanks, tom.

Yeah.

Federal inspector on the plaza Job -- his name is laveck.

But he's a little hard To locate.

Why?

He retired a few months ago,

And nobody seems to know Where he's living.

Okay, keep digging, danno. You'll find him somewhere.

And I have a feeling He's living very well.

Oh, uh, just one more thing.

Find out who inspected

Those mainland bank jobs Duke is working on,

And don't be surprised

If they're also Gentlemen of leisure.

[ buzzer ]

Yes, luana?

Duke is calling long-distance, Line four.

Oh, good. Put him on.

Hey, duke. Where are you?

I'm calling from wichita, steve.

I've covered All three locations.

Circumstances same as at home --

Slightly different layouts,

But the bank-vault interiors Are approximately the same.

Well, that could be because Of government specifications.

I spoke to bank officials In all three places.

They all say the fbi

Was thorough In their investigations.

Electronic gear, safety Controls, lab routines --

Everything you can think of.

Okay, bring back photos

And a set of blueprints of each Bank vault if you can get them.

There's got to be Some common denominator.

I want to know who built Those shopping centers, too.

I'm using an instant camera For the pictures,

And I have All the names and data.

Oh, good, duke. Good. Read them to me.

In chicago, The sendrex development company.

Sendrex? Is that s-e-n-d-r-e-x?

Right. In wichita, wincott brothers.

You're finally ready to invest?

Not quite, bill. I need Some more information first.

Where did you get the dope

On the bruckmer Construction company?

Uh, corporate directory,

Otherwise known As the businessman's bible.

Can you check out Some more outfits for me?

Sure.

The sendrex development company,

Wincott brothers and associates,

H.K. Solkin -- s-o-l-k-I-n -- Builders and developers.

Let's see -- h.K. Solkin.

Headquarters -- Chicago, illinois.

Privately owned. Unlisted.

What else do you want to know?

Who owns it?

Chief executive officer Is richard l. Pickett.

But that means he doesn't Necessarily own it, right?

Right.

Try the next one.

Wincott brothers and associates.

Let's see.

That's another Privately owned corporation

With offices in wichita, kansas.

Uh, it's also unlisted On the exchange.

Let's see, the president Of the company is oscar barrett.

Oscar barrett.

Uh, what about the next one?

Which one was that?

Sendrex development company.

Sendrex is the same story, Steve --

Privately owned company Headquartered in st. Paul.

But it's hard to get Much information

On any of these companies

Because they're not listed On any exchange.

Who are the officers?

Only one listed -- chairman Of the board -- didi jonas.

Jonas?

Yeah.

Isn't didi jonas the same name

Connected with the bruckmer Construction company?

Yes. Could be the needle In the haystack.

Could be the whole barn, danno.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Hello, mr. Mcgarrett. Won't you come in?

Thank you.

I tried to reach your husband At the shopping center,

But he wasn't there.

Would you like to sit down?

Do you play backgammon?

No, I don't play.

Oh. It's a pity. Maybe it's time you learned.

Yeah, maybe.

Beautiful view.

-may I ask you a question? -certainly.

Yesterday at the parking lot, Your husband called you didi.

Oh, really?

Ah, mcgarrett.

Mr. Meighan, good morning.

What's this about didi?

Well, I was wondering if it was Didi, as in didi jonas?

Well, it is didi, as in short For dorothy, not jonas.

Oh, my san francisco office Tells me

That you've been Making inquiries

About my corporation, mcgarrett.

Routine, mr. Meighan.

Oh, of course.

Didi jonas?

Well, as a matter of fact,

It happens to be My wife's maiden name.

I see.

Dorothy deborah jonas.

You remember I mentioned

Three other banks That had been robbed,

All situated In shopping centers?

Yes, I remember.

I also remember what I told you.

Really?

Sendrex development corporation

Has your wife's maiden name, Didi jonas,

Listed as board chairman, Or should I say chairperson?

Is it a crime to own more than One corporation, mcgarrett?

Oh, no. No, no.

But there's an interesting Coincidence here.

And that is?

Out of the four unsolved bank Robberies in shopping centers,

Two of them were built By your corporation.

Well, that, uh, defies the law Of averages, doesn't it?

It certainly does.

Yes.

I hope you're not suggesting

That there's Anything more involved.

Oh, not officially, mr. Meighan. Not officially.

So, as to avoid defamation,

Let me state my case Hypothetically.

Who better than the builder Could create a method

To get in and out Of a bank vault

Without leaving a trace behind?

[ laughs ]

And what might that method be?

I don't know yet.

[ laughs ] Yes.

That's speculation, mcgarrett. Don't you have to know?

Well, I think I know who robbed The banks, mr. Meighan.

And if he did, I'm going to find out how.

You're very entertaining, Mcgarrett.

Ah, thank you.

I may put a show on for you At that.

Goodbye, didi.

Goodbye, mr. Mcgarrett.

Mcgarrett?

You still on for dinner Tomorrow night?

Oh, looking forward to it.

You still think he's a pussycat?

Why, you worried?

Well, he's dug up An awful lot of evidence

In such a short time.

Just think How disappointed he'll be

When he comes up with nothing.

That's your real satisfaction, Isn't it --

Outwitting mcgarrett,

Proving how much smarter You are?

That's what really excites you, Doesn't it?

Not the money. We don't need it.

[ chuckles ]

You're very perceptive, Sweetheart.

That's one of your attractions.

One of them.

Well, just remember, darling,

My name's on a lot Of those papers, not yours.

Those papers Don't mean anything.

You trust me.

If you'll excuse me,

What mcgarrett needs is A little concrete evidence.

What's here at the bank, steve? Why another look?

Oh, the answer has to be In there, danno.

I'm convinced meighan pulled off All those bank robberies,

Probably with the connivance Of a bank inspector,

But we got to find out how Before we can accuse him.

Go ahead.

It's got to be. It's just got to be.

Well, when you rule out Everything plausible,

The answer has to be What's left -- the implausible.

It doesn't make sense.

Well, we'll see.

Mr. Doheni?

Yes, mr. Mcgarrett?

I'd like your permission To tear up this floor.

Tear up this floor?

But that's italian marble,

And we can't even get This color anymore.

And underneath it is eight feet Of steel-laced concrete,

Straight down And all around the outside.

That's what it's supposed to be. I'd like to see if it really is.

But who's gonna pay for it?

Well, maybe we can get

The insurance company To spring, huh?

What do you say?

Well, it's your responsibility, Mr. Mcgarrett.

Go ahead.

We're gonna need some Heavy drilling equipment.

Oh, that's easily arranged, Danno.

Oh, maybe the bruckmer Construction company

Can help us.

Matter of fact, Mr. And mrs. Meighan

Might want to watch The operation, huh?

[ drill whirring ]

Are you sure you're doing The right thing, mcgarrett?

Oh, I don't know, mr. Meighan. Am I?

I'd sure appreciate your advice, Since you built this vault.

Any suggestions?

Yes. Drill anywhere.

You'll find nothing But solid concrete.

Then why destroy This beautiful marble floor?

I just have a feeling We're gonna find something.

So do I -- A lot of concrete dust.

Is that all?

Try it.

Okay. How about right here?

Would you bring that other drill Up here, please?

Right here.

All right, bring your drill Around here, please.

Thank you.

Come with me back here.

Glad the bureau isn't getting The bill for this.

Why? Your budget's A lot bigger than ours.

Try right here.

[ clicks tongue ]

Astonishing, mcgarrett.

But it was a good idea.

What now, Back to the drawing board?

Bet on it.

Nothing here. Nothing.

Steve, Those mainland bank robberies

Were worth $4 million Or $5 million

To whoever was responsible.

Now, if meighan did it, Why wouldn't he quit?

Avarice, dan -- greed.

When money comes easily To a crook,

He can't resist Reaching for more.

How much does it take To make him feel secure?

What about his charitable Contributions, civic activities?

Oh, I'd say They were motivated by ego.

Meighan's a man who loves The spotlight, the adulation.

What about these two? Explain them, huh?

Well, these are The main frontage areas.

The vaults All lay out the same way --

Right rear corner Of the building.

Chicago bank, Camera store, music shop.

What are you looking for, steve?

Oh, a pattern -- Anything, danno. A clue.

Wichita bank, a boutique, Music land.

St. Paul bank, Jewelry shop...

Mini music.

Yeah.

In each case, a music store.

Mini music, music land, Music shop.

Maybe that is the pattern We're looking for.

Danno, Call these shopping centers.

Find out who owns them.

Start with the one in st. Paul.

Meighan admits He built that one.

Duke, if the owners Or the previous owners

Of these music stores Are who I think they might be,

You might have come home With the poi, pal.

There's got to be a reason

Didi jonas leased This music shop

The way she did in st. Paul.

What does meighan do With these music stores, anyway?

Always the store Next to the bank.

It's got to be a connection.

Did you go inside that music Store in st. Paul, duke?

Yeah, I bought a harmonica.

Harmonica?

Oh, I got lonesome For some hawaiian music.

Why didn't you buy a ukulele?

I can't play ukulele.

That's a good reason.

Say, there's something familiar.

What's that?

The panel on the wall --

The style, the layout, The colors.

Just like the one in st. Paul.

Darling, what time is it?

He's 30 minutes late.

-pity. -what's a pity?

Well, it would have been amusing To have dinner with him.

Sort of a farewell To hawaii for us.

Darling, you have Excellent taste in women,

But I'm not so sure You're that sharp about men.

Well, mcgarrett's bright enough.

It's just that he's been A cop too long.

There's something debilitating About being a public servant.

Mr. Meighan, your guest is here.

Ah. Didi, mr. Meighan.

Mcgarrett, We'd almost given you up.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Well, I thought we'd have A little drink here

Before we left.

None for me, thanks. Why don't you go ahead?

I have a surprise for you.

I wish you'd join me tonight. Let me be your host. Huh?

By all means, with pleasure.

Well, thank you. I'll get my purse.

Good.

I'm glad there are No hard feelings

About my drilling fiasco In that bank vault.

Not at all.

Part of the entertainment Provided by five-o.

Oh, okay. Touché.

What are we doing here, Mcgarrett?

There's no restaurant In the mall.

Just a small detour. I didn't think you'd mind.

It might even be entertaining.

You know, mcgarrett, I like you.

You have a sense of humor.

You ever thought of civilian Enterprise, mcgarrett?

Tremendous rewards.

Retirement plan, bonuses, Tremendous opportunities.

I mean, it's more rewarding than Chasing criminals, mcgarrett.

There's more to life Than that, right?

You got to nourish The aesthetic side, too.

I'm flattered you think So highly of me.

All chases end, mr. Meighan,

And my rewards Sometimes are aesthetic.

Now, let's see.

That panel on the wall -- Look familiar?

What are you talking about, Mcgarrett?

Oh, you'll find out.

Oh, mcgarrett, Can't we pass on this?

I'm really very hungry.

Man does not live By bread alone, didi --

Women either, If you'll pardon the levity.

There's A whole aesthetic side --

Part of my treat tonight.

Ah, let's see.

It took me a while to figure out How this thing works.

So far, so good.

[ whirring ] That should do it.

What is all this, mcgarrett?

Why are you showing this to me?

I thought maybe you'd enjoy Seeing it work,

Since you built it.

After you.

There are more wonders below, But no restaurant.

Shall we cancel Our dinner plans?

This is fascinating, mcgarrett.

So, you're convinced

This is the way the bank At the plaza mall was robbed.

Indeed, I am.

You see, the whole scheme Didn't occur to me

Until I found out that that Panel out there was the key,

And turning the right dials

Activated this section Of the floor.

Would you like to know

How I found out About that control panel?

One of my men was in your Music store in st. Paul,

And being a cop, he remembered A similar panel there.

Oh, incidentally, mr. Meighan,

We tracked down inspector laveck In jamaica,

Sitting under a coconut tree.

Does that name ring a bell?

He's flying back under escort.

He'll probably be Granted immunity

For his testimony against you...

And the bruckmer construction Company, of course.

Also, there are a couple Of other bank inspectors

The feds are bringing in For talks.

Both of them seem to know you.

Where's all this leading, Mr. Mcgarrett?

Hopefully to oahu state prison.

Or are you referring To this passageway?

You know as well as I know

That this takes us up To the vault, mr. Meighan,

Same as the other banks You robbed,

Up, up through a section Of flooring.

Now, let's see.

I think this is The way it works.

[ whirring ]

Voilà, huh?

Greetings, gentlemen.

Well, you've drilled A dozen holes

In the plaza mall bank vault

Into eight feet Of solid concrete.

Why didn't that satisfy you?

Cop instinct, I guess, Mr. Meighan.

That stumped me at first,

Until -- until I remembered

That truckload of cement Being delivered to you,

Getting ready For your finishing touches,

Getting ready To fill up this passage

After you riffle This new bank vault.

Okay, sully, he's all yours.

You want to do the honors?

With pleasure.

And make it stick. It's a federal rap.

Well, lover, now I know

You're a better judge of women Than men.

That's good news, sully.

Yeah. Well, we needed Your help, too.

Thank you very much.

Right.

Sullivan just got a call From the mainland.

Laveck, that government bank Inspector -- he started to sing.

That means They can trace the money.

Yeah.

What I can't understand, steve,

Is how the fbi failed To spot meighan's involvement

In the other Mainland bank robberies.

Well, on the mainland, He always had a front man.

He kept himself Well in the background.

I guess he got a little Overconfident down here --

Figured we were All a bunch of hicks.

Well, I have just one regret.

Only one, governor?

Where am I going To find someone to donate

A new hospital wing For the handicapped children?

I've got an idea.

Maybe the politicians In this state

Can take up a collection

And make a gift to the people For a change.

That's be a switch, Wouldn't it, huh?
